Conan’s Devil Child Comes To the World

Chapter 429: When The Court Is Weak, The Rivers And Lakes Are Strong

(o_o)??

Under the bewildered eyes of everyone, Liu Zhengfeng quickly walked in with an official in a public uniform.

“Is this person also a martial arts master?”

“I see that this person’s footsteps are vain, and he doesn’t look like he knows martial arts?”

“Liu Zhengfeng is a great gentleman in Hengshan City. Usually, he has to make friends with the government. Today is a good day for him. It’s not surprising that local officials come to perfunctory.”

While everyone was discussing in a low voice, they saw the official come straight in and stand in the middle. The yamen behind him knelt down on his right leg, raised his hands above the top, and presented a tray covered with yellow satin with a scroll on it.

The official bowed his body, took the scroll, and said loudly, “The imperial decree is here, Liu Zhengfeng listens to the decree.”

!!!∑(?д?ノ)ノ

When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed greatly, and they secretly said in their hearts: “Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands in a golden basin, sealed his sword and returned to seclusion, that is a matter of the rivers and lakes, what does it have to do with the imperial court? Why did the emperor issue an imperial decree?

Could it be that Liu Zhengfeng had a big counter-conspiracy, and the court found out, it was a big crime of beheading and looting the house and killing the nine clans! ”

Many guests thought of this possibility. Some of the guests who couldn’t hold their breath had already picked up the weapons beside them and were ready to fight.

According to the thoughts of these guests, since this official came to announce the decree, the Liu residence must be densely populated with officers and soldiers, and a big fight was inevitable.

Most of the guests who came to attend the Golden Basin Handwashing Conference are on good terms with Liu Zhengfeng.

If Liu Zhengfeng really did that treasonous thing, everyone present would naturally be regarded as the same crime against the party, so it is better to fight hard!

︿(￣︶￣)︿

Suzuki Seimei noticed the behavior of the guests and secretly laughed in his heart. He certainly knew the real purpose of Liu Zhengfeng’s invitation to this official.

(o_o)?

Under the stunned eyes of everyone, Liu Zhengfeng suddenly bent on both knees, knelt down toward the imperial decree held by the official, and said aloud: “My minister Liu Zhengfeng listens to the decree, long live my emperor, long live!”

I saw the official unfolding the imperial decree and said: “Fengtian carries the emperor’s edict: According to the report of the governor of Hun Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a commoner of Hengshan County, is eager for justice and righteousness. Post, serve the court in the future, live up to my expectations, and admire this.”

“Liu Zhengfeng, my minister, thank you, long live my emperor, long live!”

Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again to accept the imperial decree, then bent over to the official and said, “Thank you Sir Zhang for your cultivation and promotion!”

Master Zhang twitched his beard and said with a smile: “Congratulations to General Liu, from now on you and I will be your ministers, so you don’t have to be so polite.”

“The young general was originally a rambunctious man. Today, he was awarded an official by the imperial court. Although the emperor’s grace was widely received, the young general was honored to honor his ancestors, but he was also an overachiever as a minister of kindness, the governor, and Zhang.”

Liu Zhengfeng first flattered the official, then turned his head to Qianju and said, “Brother Fang Xian, what about the gift of honoring Lord Zhang?”

“It’s already been prepared here.”

Fang Qianju heard the words and hurriedly handed the package in his hand to Liu Zhengfeng.

“A little courtesy, it’s not a respect, please accept Mr. Zhang with a smile!”

“They’re all my own brothers, Master Liu doesn’t have to be so polite.”

Master Zhang was very polite, but secretly made a look at the officer beside him.

When the officer took the package, his arms sank. It was obvious that the contents in the package were quite heavy, not silver but gold.

When Master Zhang saw this, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

“My little brother still has official duties, so it’s inconvenient to stay for a long time. Come here, pour three glasses of wine. Congratulations to General Liu for his appointment today, promotion and promotion in the future, the grace of the emperor, and the quilt.”

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he drank three glasses of wine in a row, and then, accompanied by Liu Zhengfeng, left Liu’s residence satisfied.

The sound of gongs and shouts resounded outside the door again, and the Liu Mansion sent a salute to each other, causing the guests present to look at each other for a while, wondering which play Liu Zhengfeng was singing.

If placed in the prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty, a ginseng of the third rank would indeed be regarded as a high-ranking official of the Eight Classics.

But now that treacherous officials are in power, Wei Zhongxian is even more open to buying and selling official positions. As long as you have money, you can buy the official positions of third-rank military generals.

Of course!

This kind of military commander’s official position obtained through trading is just an empty title, but it does not have much real power in his hands.

As the second-in-command of the Hengshan faction, Liu Zhengfeng was not a member of the imperial court before. This position of general was definitely not acquired through formal means, but was bought at a high price.

If Suzuki Seimei guessed correctly, Liu Zhengfeng spent a lot of money to buy this sergeant position. Obviously, he wanted to pull the tiger’s skin from the imperial court and deter the Songshan faction.

However, Liu Zhengfeng still underestimated Zuo Lengchan’s ambitions too much, and a position as a general who was bought with money was not enough to scare off the people of the Songshan faction.

Wei Zhongxian openly bought and sold official positions because he wanted to collect money wantonly. As for whether those who bought official positions were dead or alive, it was not within his jurisdiction.

Since Liu Zhengfeng can spend money to buy officials, Zuo Lengchan can also spend money to manage up and down, so that those officials who are greedy for money can turn a blind eye.

As the saying goes: the imperial court is strong, the rivers and lakes are weak. If the court is weak, the rivers and lakes are strong.

People in the Jianghu say it better, then it is a knight in the rivers and lakes, a hero in the green forest, and a little bit ugly, it is a group of young and dangerous young people who know martial arts~www.readwn.com~ Whenever the power of the imperial court is strong, they will try to suppress it. And limit the major sects in the rivers and lakes to prevent them from disturbing the national order.

Therefore, the background era of the martial arts novels written by Jin Daxia is almost at the end of the dynasty, or at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Only when the power of the imperial court is weakened can the rivers and lakes usher in a prosperous era, and the beggar gang is the best example.

The stronger the beggar gang’s power in the arena, the weaker the country’s power is.

If it wasn’t really impossible to live, who would want to be a beggar? !

After Liu Zhengfeng sent the Master Zhang away, he walked back with a smile on his face, inviting all the guests present to take their seats.

But what Liu Zhengfeng didn’t know was that many of the guests present were already dissatisfied with him.

The people who can receive the invitation letter from Liu Zhengfeng are basically people who are famous in the arena and have high self-esteem, and never put the government in the eyes.

The reason why these guests are willing to come and participate in the Golden Basin Handwashing Conference held by Liu Zhengfeng is mainly because they look at the face of the Hengshan faction, and they also admire him as a hero in all corners of the world.

At this moment, seeing Liu Zhengfeng becoming a flamboyant military officer who was named a sesame and mung bean military officer by the emperor, he was very grateful, made all kinds of nauseous expressions, and even blatantly offered bribes. It was inevitable that he looked down on him in his heart, and many people couldn’t help but show contempt. .
