Chapter 2217 The general trend of the world
Long Fei didn't say yes, nor did he say no.
He turned around and asked the city lord, "The monster clan is a disaster, so there is no one in the court to help you?"
The city lord rubbed his palms and said with a dry smile, "To tell you the truth, the monsters in Shuzhou are rampant right now, all the masters in the city are defending the city, and the court is also short of manpower. How can they come down to take care of us small places!"
Long Fei asked him further, "I heard that the Tang Dynasty not only respects Taoism, but also Buddhism. In Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there is a Chang'an Academy. There are many master disciples, both Buddhist and Taoist disciples, and all of them are from the Tang Dynasty. Where the elites are. If they all come out to eliminate demons, there shouldn’t be a shortage of manpower, right?”
The city lord looked around and said secretly to Long Fei, "I'll tell you the truth, if this matter was left in the past, Chang'an Academy would definitely send someone to help, but it's different now. I just received a secret letter, and the emperor's body is itchy. , I’m afraid it’s going to die these days. The situation in Chang’an City is treacherous, and there may be major changes. The elites in Chang’an Academy are the targets of competition among the major forces, so how could they leave Chang’an and come out to help us now!”
Long Fei didn't know much about the secular world in this world, but he heard that Emperor Xiaodi of the Tang Dynasty is now in power.
Before Emperor Xiao, there was Emperor Wu in his prosperity, Emperor Wen ruled the country, and Emperor Lie founded the country.
Now there are four generations of emperors.
This Emperor Xiao is weak in health, and the affairs of the court are all taken care of by the queen.
Didn't expect that Emperor Xiao would die so soon?
How does Long Fei feel that this historical trend is somewhat similar to the small world he lives in?
Although the ages of the two worlds are different, the reign of each generation of emperors in this world is calculated on the basis of 10 years.
However, some fortunes do develop in the same direction.
He asked the city lord, "How is this queen's virtue?"
The city lord clasped his fists and said in admiration, "Wencheng Wude has nothing to say. To be honest, Emperor Xiao has ruled the country for so many years, relying on the queen to support the overall situation. She restrained the power of the powerful and reused the poor, so that the official I was able to become the lord of a city from a poor family. No matter what people think of her, I support her in my heart."
"Is that so?"
Long Fei smiled, and he could tell that the city lord was the queen's beneficiary and supporter.
It seems that there are still many people in the court and the city lord.
He asked the city lord, "Since that's the case, what's the problem with the court now? The empress is wise and mighty. If Emperor Xiao dies, wouldn't it be a smooth thing for her to assist the crown prince to ascend the throne?"
The city supervisor, Long Fei, ordered a glass of wine, took a sip, and said sadly, "Once the emperor and the courtiers, the prince is in power, so naturally he will not let the queen control the government like Emperor Xiao. Right now, the forces supporting the prince are all from the big prince at the time. Tang State’s important ministers who opened up the frontiers and powerful families. The empress reuses the poor family’s children, so they are naturally their enemies. The empress and the crown prince are now incompatible with each other!"
Long Fei nodded and asked him, "Then what is the attitude of the cultivation world?"
The city lord said, "Most of them are on the prince's side. No matter how strong and wise the queen is, she is a woman after all. Everyone doesn't want the hen to lead the morning and let women be the home of men, right?"
"That's true!"
Long Fei smiled, drank wine with the city lord, and said a few heartfelt words.
The city owner probably saw that he was an outsider, so he didn't shy away from it.
There were things that he didn't see and couldn't understand in the court, and they all fell out with Long Fei, as if Long Fei was his own brother.
He told Long Fei that during Emperor Wu's reign.
If a child from a poor family wants to enter the court and become an official, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Although the imperial court has two pathways for civil and military examinations, these pathways are all in the hands of wealthy aristocratic families.
If it weren't for their children, even if they won the exam, they would not recommend to the court to use children from poor families.
It wasn't until Emperor Xiao's reign and the empress made great efforts to reform, that she was able to promote talents only, and exceptionally promoted children from poor families to important positions.
Now the two forces in the court are fighting each other, and no one will obey the other.
The family is powerful, and it has already overwhelmed the poor.
If the prince is in power, I'm afraid he, the city lord, will have to be replaced by someone else, and he will retire and return home early.
After hearing this, Long Fei took a sip of his wine and asked casually, "Is the queen's surname Wu?"
After hearing this, the city lord stared at him, quickly looked around, clasped his fists and praised, "The real person really knows things like gods, the queen has a noble name, and few people in the world know her surname. To be a boast, I and her can be regarded as the same clan. "
"In the dark, do you have God's will?"
Long Fei glanced at Wang Xiaoya, if he hadn't been eating the meat of this tiger demon, he almost thought he had crossed over.
Wang Xiaoya asked the city lord, "Your surname is Wu too?"
The city lord shook his head and said with a dry smile, "No, my official surname is Wen, and the single name is Chang!"
Wang Xiaoya laughed a little, and asked him, "Then how do you count as the same clan?"
The city lord laughed and said, "Since ancient times, civil and military families have not been separated, so they are of the same clan!"
"Haha, this explanation is interesting!"
Wang Xiaoya was amused by him.
Long Fei also smiled, and said bluntly to the city owner, "To be honest, the destination of our trip is Chang'an City. We can't stay in your Jiangyang City."
"This this……"
The city lord stood up abruptly, bowed his waist and clasped his fists, saluted, and anxiously asked to stay, "Jiangyang City is at stake, please take care of the lives of the people in the city, and sit here for everyone!"
Long Fei comforted him, "Don't worry, before I leave, I will naturally think of a countermeasure for you. Right now, the monster race is causing trouble, and there must be a big conspiracy behind it. Even if you are saved, the people of the world will not be saved. Only When we arrive in the capital, report this matter to the court, and let the court make up its mind to help, so that this evil disaster can be completely resolved."
"A real person is thoughtful and has far-reaching plans, and I am ashamed to be an inferior official!"
The city owner didn't expect that Long Fei was thinking about this.
He only cared about his Jiangyang City, but he never thought about the people in other places. He was really short-sighted.
Long Fei told him, "Your Jiangyang City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is an excellent place to set up formations. You will send 10 people here tomorrow morning to listen to my orders. I will help you set up a demon-proof here." Even if a million demon soldiers come to your Jiangyang City again, they will definitely not be able to break through this large formation!"
"That's good, that's good!"
When the city lord heard this, he quickly bent down and bowed again.
He gratefully asked Long Feidao, "What kind of reward does the real person want? There is some surplus food in our city, as long as the real person asks, I will never bargain!"
Long Fei laughed loudly, "Cultivators, what kind of reward do you want for doing what you can do for the heaven and the way? If you have faith, you can distribute these things to the people in the city so that they can live a better life."
The city lord was completely convinced of Long Fei, and he bowed down earnestly, "The real person is really extraordinary, I bow down to you. Don't worry, the real person, if Jiangyang City survives this calamity safely, the lowly official will open a warehouse to release food, and feast the people in the city." , so that they can live comfortably for a whole year and never break their promise."
Long Fei nodded and chatted with the city lord until dawn before leaving.
After the city lord went back, he hurriedly dispatched troops and ordered [-] soldiers to leave the city to wait for Long Fei's orders.
Chapter 4, see you tomorrow.
