It was the middle of July.
Since the capital was moved, many major events have occurred in the court and the country of Da Qi.
Facts have proved that the auspicious sign of purple air coming from the east cannot prove the correctness of moving the capital, nor can it bless the people of the world.
At least, the people feel less secure under the rule of an emperor who keeps courting death.
The story of Zhong Kui, the top scorer in the Spring Examination, has spread with the secret instigation of various forces and has become a hot topic among the people.
Although there are many versions among Buddhism, Taoism, and local powerful people.
However, operas, dramas and storytelling related to the underworld dominated the rumors.
The young emperor forced Zhong Kui to death by judging him by his appearance...
Zhong Li, the youngest sister of the Zhong family, wept until the walls of Linzi collapsed...
The car commander Zhao wanted to see the beauty of the youngest daughter of the Zhong family and forcibly took her away...
The injustice is so great, and snow falls in Linzi in April...
These are not outrageous, there are even more bizarre things to come.
The old emperor was so angry at the young emperor that he resurrected. The Buddhist disciples were unable to defend themselves, and the leader of the Taoist sect died. The King of Fengdu, Kong Hanan, blessed the dead Zhong Kui. Although Zhong Kui died, he remained loyal and fought back and forth with the old emperor...
Later, they even fought their way into the imperial mausoleum, where they joined forces with several tomb robbers to fight the First Emperor, triggering earthquakes in the area around Linzi for a period of time!
The story is logically seamless and full of twists and turns, which is fascinating and makes people talk about it with relish.
Many people with experience in tomb robbing claim that the details are perfect.
There were also many people who claimed that they had relatives in the palace. They spoke with great excitement and spit, as if they were sure of it.
Because of Zhong Kui's loyalty and bravery, he became a door god. Because the old emperor resurrected his body, the imperial city was filled with ghosts and monsters. This also coincided with the rumor in Linzi that the imperial city was haunted before the young emperor moved the capital, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
There must be some discrepancies between the story and the truth, but the people don’t care about that. They are satisfied as long as they have something to eat.
In addition, each sect had a positive image in it, and the royal family was the one to take the blame, so the Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian scholars all remained silent.
Why do Confucians remain silent?
Don’t you see that the central idea of this story is loyalty to the emperor?
Moreover, the Confucian sect now has to remain silent...
Because the former prime minister and grand tutor, the saint of today, have retired.
Zhishi means resigning from office...
The Prime Minister has worked hard and put in a lot of effort for the Great Qi, and now he is in his prime. How could he retire?
Especially after the Grand Tutor retired, the young emperor arrogantly set Buddhism as the state religion, built the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, and the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song...
With the death of Yuan Daoren, the Taoist leader, the group was leaderless and unable to take charge for the time being.
No matter how you look at it, he looks like a little emperor who has been bewitched by the chanting of those foreign monks.
There are even more outrageous things.
The powerful Xiang family in Huaiyang County raised the banner of serving the king!
But he unexpectedly received an imperial decree from the court, and the patriarch of the Xiang family was named King of Chu!
In an instant, a huge uproar was stirred up, and the situation in the government and the country was in turmoil.
Even the common people were so frightened that they dropped the melons in their hands, thinking that the little emperor had lost his mind.
All the old farmers in the melon fields knew that no matter whether they had rebellious intentions or not, they could get a title of king by rebelling at this time.
A sure profit!
Whether the little emperor is mentally ill or not has nothing to do with the Nan Guo fight. Busy people don’t have time to think about and judge whether things are good or bad.
All he wanted now was to get the letter in his hand safely to its destination.
Nan Guodou is a small figure...
Even though there hasn't been a single mention of him in 404 chapters, even though his name has been misremembered, even though he has been forgotten...
But small people also have small people’s lives!
No matter how humble a person is, there are rivers flowing in his bones, not to mention that he once had the talent of a top scholar?
After being rescued by Niu Dou, although he felt disgusted by the insects he ate, he at least regained some of his talent.
After a period of hard work, he successfully became a clerk in Fengyin Town, Jiange County.
He was just a minor official, but it was enough for him to find a sense of security amidst his busy schedule...
Now, the border is in crisis, and the Sindhu people seem to be planning to break the rules again.
For some reason, the flying letter was ineffective, and someone was needed to deliver the letter to the government office over a thousand miles.
Finally, the task fell on him.
Who says he is a newcomer?
Although Da Qi was in turmoil, its grassroots construction could not be destroyed by a short period of turmoil in the government and the country.
The Nan Guo Dou star traveled day and night, galloping through the post stations along the way, and speeding through the mountains and ridges.
It was now late at night and the road he was walking on was a bit bumpy.
This isn't the straight road built by the Great Qi, but a former main road of the former Shu Kingdom...
This was what the old waiter at the post station taught him.
Rumor has it that this road was once Jianmen Pass, an important pass of the Shu Kingdom.
Later, many dead souls and evil spirits gathered here, and it became a place of death.
But the Emperor of Fengdu rose in Jiange County. One day, he used a sword alone to send all the ghosts and monsters in Jianmen Pass into the underworld.
So, this road is safe.
The imperial court had intended to repair this road, but a series of events later caused the plan to be abandoned.
However, if Nan Guodou is in a hurry, taking this route will save some time.
In a hurry, of course we are in a hurry!
The requirements of the mission were to deliver the letter 20 days before the end of the month and return to Fengyin Town with a receipt at the end of the month.
Because the letter being delivered is a military secret, this mission must be accomplished.
Otherwise, not only would the clerk lose his job, he might even lose his life.
But it was already mid-moon!
It rained some time ago, and Nangong Dou was delayed on the road for some time.
If we continue to take the straight road, it will take another seven or eight days to reach the county seat.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
