Fu Xiaoguan had never expected that the impeachment would allow the Ministry of Commerce to be separated from the Council of State and become a special department personally managed by His Majesty.
Naturally, this news also spread in the court, and then the two famous quotes blurted out by Fu Xiaoguan shocked the temple and also spread to the world.
Hongxiuzhao didn't have much business during the day. Huqin Hu Dajia had just returned recently and seemed to have a lot on his mind. He didn't pay his attention to Hongxiuzhao, and naturally didn't notice that Liu Yan'er had become a different person.
She has a baby face and is the third elder of the Moon Worshiping Cult, but in fact she is not old.
She is only twenty years old this year, but she is already a first-class master.
Not only is she proficient in martial arts, she is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
She has a beautiful face that few people have seen, but she rarely shows her true face.
She is an expert in disguise. She originally learned this because her master said that her face was too beautiful and she had to learn the art of disguise to make it uglier. As for the reason, her master said that beauty is doomed to a tragic fate.
Now she has made up to look like Liu Yan'er and has stayed in Hongxiuzhao for nearly half a month. No one can recognize her flaws - both in appearance and voice, she is almost exactly the same as the former Liu Yan'er.
She waited quietly for Fu Xiaoguan to come, but he didn't come. Instead, she read many of his poems and articles. Last night, she heard the guests who came to Hongxiuzhao to listen to music say that Fu Xiaoguan was truly a rare talent.
Those two words fell into her ears and remained in her heart.
"When one is in a high position in government, he worries about the people; when one is far away in the world, he worries about his ruler." This person is a bit different, and his life must be quite tiring.
"Worry about the world before you worry about yourself, and be happy about the world after you are happy about yourself"... Does he really have such a lofty ideal?
Tong Yan doesn’t believe that there are such people in this world. If there really are such people, why has the world become like this?
The Moon Worship Cult did not have a good time in Xirong, and the people of Xirong had an even worse time.
Except for the flat plains within a radius of several hundred miles around Xirong Prefecture, the rest of the Xirong area is hilly and mountainous. People are busy with farming, but the harvest is very little.
They live a miserable life, like the walking dead.
If there really is someone who worries about the world before himself, and if such a person is in a high position, why doesn't he save the people in distress?
My former home was also in Xirong. I still remember that it was on the hillside of a mountain. There were three trees in front of the door, one was a cypress and the other was also a cypress.
Fifteen years ago, there was a drought followed by a locust plague, and the family had no harvest. My parents and my brother fled, and no one knew where they went or whether they were dead or not. I was left alone and starved for three days and three nights. Just when I was about to die, I was saved by my master and became a disciple of the Moon Worship Sect.
Three years ago, because of her outstanding talent and the death of her master, she was made the third elder of the Moon Worship Sect.
She was grateful to the Moon Worship Sect, but she had no idea about the Yu Dynasty. She just felt that when she was about to die, no officials from the Yu Dynasty came to give her a bite of food, so the demise of the Yu Dynasty had nothing to do with her.
This time he accepted the order from the Saint to assassinate Fu Xiaoguan. The Saint said that Fu Xiaoguan bullied men and women and did all kinds of evil things. Moreover, he was in a high position and was corrupt and abused his power, exploiting the people and living an extravagant life - such a person should of course die!
But since arriving in Jinling, I've heard a lot about Fu Xiaoguan. For example, he was once a small landowner in Linjiang. He came to the capital last year and presented the emperor with a good disaster relief plan. He also opened many workshops in the western mountains of Linjiang, taking in tens of thousands of displaced people.
This seems different from what the saint said!
So Tong Yan naturally paid more attention to Fu Xiaoguan. Although her understanding of him was limited to the past ten days, the image of Fu Xiaoguan stood out in her mind... This person seemed to be really different from what the saint said.
He won the title of Wenkui in the Wu Dynasty and should have died at the foot of the snowy mountains, but he came back alive.
Then he used only 4,000 people to wipe out the more than 100,000 rebel army led by Gong Shenchang. He also started to build workshops in Pingling and Quyi counties, solving the survival problems of tens of thousands of people in that area.
It seems that he really cares about the people. On the contrary, she didn't hear a word of what the saint said about bullying men and women and committing all kinds of evil deeds.
"With Master Fu's talent, how could he possibly do such a wicked thing? If he wanted to, all he had to do was spread the word. Who knows how many women in Shangjing would be willing to marry him as a concubine."
This was said by Xue Feifei, who was also a member of the Red Sleeves Dance. Xue Feifei even blushed as she said, "Don't even mention marrying him as a concubine. If I could have a romantic moment with him, I would be willing to do that too."
In this case, this person is extremely charming!
This person's poems and essays are indeed very well written, especially the "Water Melody Song", Tong Yan really likes it.
I got the news yesterday that Fu Xiaoguan will come to Hongxiuzhao tomorrow night. He is born in the Year of the Rat and is timid. He is accompanied by a Taoist senior brother who is a saint. He is a bit tricky. However, Tong Yan has already made arrangements. No matter how capable Fu Xiaoguan is, he has no chance of survival.
It's a pity that he is about to die, and such good poems and articles will be lost in the future. It's really a pity, but who told him to be a dog official in the court? This is his fate!
Just as Tong Yan was thinking about these things, Xue Feifei knocked on the door and walked in carrying a bag of osmanthus cake.
"Sister, have you heard that Fu Xiaoguan has made another big move in Nanshan to solve the livelihood problems of those people in the slums?"
Tong Yan stretched out her soft, scallion-white hand, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, put it in her mouth and ate it carefully, and asked, "Why does this person... do these things?"
"You've been in Jinling for a year now, don't you know him? He... he's the one sent by God to save us poor people—"
Xue Feifei paused, then sat down beside Tong Yan's bed. "Sister, you should know that he opened a workshop in Pingling. I heard that the damned Moon Worship Cult actually sent people to kill the farmers in those workshops... Fortunately, Master Fu is a man blessed by the heavens. It is said that he received the will of heaven, learned of the Moon Worship Cult's conspiracy, and sent masters from the Taoist temple to deal with it."
Xue Feifei's eyes were sharp, and she didn't notice Tong Yan's body stiffened. She continued, "The masters of the Taoist Academy are naturally powerful. The Moon Worship Cult committed such a defiance that they didn't even want to leave the people alive. I heard that the masters of the Taoist Academy killed all the Moon Worship Cult bandits!"
"I just don't understand. The world is peaceful, the Yu Dynasty has people like Master Fu who are determined to make progress, and the current emperor is also a virtuous ruler. Life will definitely get better day by day. Why are the remnants of the previous dynasty still making trouble? In my opinion, as long as life is good, it doesn't matter who is the emperor."
Tong Yan's gaze fell on the window. Outside the window was a heavy snowfall. There was some confusion in her eyes. She was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Sister, do you have time to accompany me to visit Nanshan?"
