Daojun smiled: "Then let's go out and have a drink together? It has not been a thousand years, but the food and wine in the world still taste the same as before!"
"Master Dao has asked you, how dare you disobey, please."
Feng Min agreed and went out with Daojun. After walking for a while in the imperial city, he saw a restaurant with red gauze lanterns hanging on it. When he entered, the waiter had already greeted him: "Here you two - want a private seat?"
"Go upstairs!" Feng Min said casually, and the waiter led him up the stairs. He saw a private seat by the window, and Feng Min ordered again: "Serve five of your specialty dishes, and then a pot of Chunsha wine!"
The waiter left in response, and Feng Min smiled again: "Chunsha wine is a tribute wine, so these stores can only get it. Daojun can taste it."
Just as he was talking, a Taoist official came in, wearing a ninth-grade official uniform. He hurried forward and whispered a few words beside Feng Min. Feng Ti's expression suddenly changed.
"But what happened?"
Daojun asked with a smile, seeing Feng Min's face pale: "To be fair to Zhenjun, there was news just now that Zhenjun changed his route temporarily and went to Jinzhou to suppress King Lu first, and then went to the capital."
Feng Min said, staring at Daojun with suspicion in his eyes: "You are Daojun, do you know why?"
"Hmph, you are so bold, you still dare to doubt me?" Daojun chuckled: "I signed a contract with Taizu, how could I inform you?"
"If you tell the truth, I'm afraid I will be disgraced immediately." Daojun said, frowning again: "Maybe there is an internal problem among you. If Pei Ziyun planted a chess piece, he might know about it."
"Impossible!" Feng Min frowned: "The people we summoned are all sealed in the imperial city and are not allowed to go out. No one is allowed to go out, and Taoism cannot be spread through the imperial city."
"Besides, this selection is all about selecting loyal and trustworthy people, and there is absolutely no way the secrets will be leaked."
After hearing this, the Taoist Lord was noncommittal, pondered and calculated, and shook his head: "The true Lord is a Taoist, and I am a Taoist Lord, so there is some connection between them. I have used the Taoist Qi to confuse him so that he cannot detect it."
"He was deceived by me, but he has survived the thunder tribulation. This matter is indispensable, and confusion is relative. I can't detect his thoughts, but the possibility of leaking secrets is huge."
Seeing that Feng Min still didn't believe it, Dao Lord continued: "And after cultivating to the level of Pei Ziyun, he has a sudden whim. Even if I use Tao methods to confuse him, it is difficult to completely block it, or it may be that his instinct is to avoid evil and seek good luck. "
"In this case, I suggest you go with the flow and annihilate King Lu first, and then call Pei Ziyun to the capital as a matter of course - there is no way to refuse? As long as he agrees, he can be punished with thunder."
Feng Min nodded and asked, "What if I still refuse at that time?"
"That means this person already knows the inside story, but even if this plan doesn't work, this person is young after all, and no matter how talented he is, he won't be able to cast iron into copper in one or two years. We still have time to plot or kill him directly."
"Of course, we are just the conspirators, and the real decision lies with the emperor." Daojun said, and saw that the waiter had already brought the food, and the two of them remained silent.
Daojun then used chopsticks to light the gongbao pork belly and smiled: "This dish already existed back then, and it still exists now. It really hasn't changed much, but I'm going to enjoy it."
Daojun was relaxed, but Feng Min had no intention of doing this at all. He took out an ingot and said, "Be careful!"
The clerk took it and saw that it was high-grade official silver, standard five taels, with a thin white background and deep frost. He smiled and bowed: "Here, I will go and make change immediately."
"I'll reward you with the rest!" Feng Min said, "Two more dishes."
Two more were not even half used. The waiter smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed and he said, "Thank you for the reward. I'll go down and serve the food."
The waiter left, and the private room fell into silence. Feng Min bowed and said: "No matter what the reason, I can only follow the second rule, but I can't make the decision on this matter. I will go back to face the saint immediately."
"Master Dao, please be patient." Feng Min said and disappeared at the top of the stairs, but did not invite Master Dao to meet the saint. No matter how tense the situation was, he would not let the emperor meet Master Dao. This was for the emperor's safety. Seeing Feng Min leaving in a hurry, Daojun lost his ease and smile, looked at the continuously rainy sky, and sighed: "This requires not only a whim, but also if there is no thief in your heart, so that you can think quickly and not be confused. This is the way to be sincere.”
"The most sincere way is to know in advance that when a country is about to prosper, there will be good fortune; when a country is about to perish, there will be monsters. When you see a turtle, it moves around its body. When misfortunes and fortunes are coming, you must predict the good things; you must predict the bad things before them. . Therefore, he is as sincere as God."
This is a sentence in the middle of the mean. Although the Taoist master does not know it, the Taoist sect is also in a similar state. His thoughts flashed: "How many great heroes are not pure in heart and are confused by their luck?"
"Only when you are sincere to yourself can you be detached. I, the younger generation, are really alert and will not be fooled by Qi."
"It's a few percent more difficult to kill this person."
royal palace
Feng Min paused his clothes, took a breath of cool air, and went to the imperial gate to deliver the notice. In a moment, he had a message: "I will meet Feng Min in the imperial study."
Feng Min felt nervous and walked along the road to the royal study. The eunuch said: "The emperor said that when you arrive, call him in immediately without asking any more questions."
Feng Min went in and saw Emperor Qitai sitting and discussing matters with his ministers. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted. Emperor Qitai waved his hands calmly and said, "Just wait."
He continued what he had just said: "It is right to relocate the people, but the problem of resettlement..."
A sitting minister muttered: "The emperor is thoughtful, food is the first priority."
"After the military turmoil in the three states of Jin, Chen, and Qin, last year's autumn grain harvest basically failed. We can't expect spring planting, but we can plant some. The feudal lord still has 1.2 million dan in stock, and 200,000 dan can be transferred."
"Not only that, but large families also have food stored in their homes. The government can supervise and supervise. Although there will definitely be a lot of work involved in this process, hundreds of thousands of people will not go hungry. In the end, it is still worth it."
"With relief, there must also be severe punishment. Your Majesty, at this time, if you pretend to receive relief, hoard it, and kill a group of people, you must not be lenient."
After hearing this, the emperor frowned and sighed, and said: "What you all said makes sense. Go and make a statement first and then explain it to me in detail."
"Yes!" The two ministers retreated knowing that the emperor had a secret to tell.
"Your Majesty." Feng Min looked solemn and saluted again. The emperor was sitting above him and looked over at this time: "Feng Qing came in a hurry, but something happened?"
"Your Majesty, although Mr. Pei Zhenjun was awarded the imperial edict, he did not enter the capital. Instead, he turned directly to Jin and Qin. He said that it was urgent and wanted to kill the demon soldiers for your majesty before returning to the capital."
"What?" The emperor's face changed greatly when he heard this. He was a little angry and even turned blue: "Pei Ziyun dares to resist the decree? How dare he, how dare he?"
