Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 435
When it comes to the royal family of the Li Kingdom, most people know the Liqiu Palace of the King, the East Palace of the Crown Prince, the Zongzheng Temple, and the Ten Kings' Residence in the East City.But in fact, in the corner of the imperial city, at the back door of the East Palace, there is also a Baisun courtyard hidden.

Here are collected the kings, sometimes the sons of the world, and the heirs born to the servants who have no title.According to the patriarchal law, these are all concubines without inheritance rights, but they are still the direct blood of a generation of kings, and in the event of an extreme situation where the princes and grandchildren of the clan die suddenly, the Zongzheng Mansion will arrange for the family to adopt the mothers of these concubine princes as adopted daughters. In this way, some puppet sons are selected to succeed, to ensure that the position of the king will continue in the blood of the king.

Of course, these grandsons of concubine kings cannot leave the Baisunyuan for life, and they are only kept in captivity for one generation.In most cases, after the orthodox sons with the support of their relatives succeed to the throne, all the bastards in the Baisunyuan will be dealt with silently, so as to prevent the blood of the clan from leaking out and causing disasters.

Therefore, although there have been various changes and catastrophes in Liguo, the vassal king rebelled against the warlords, rebelled against foreign enemies, invaded the magic way, and even lost the capital.However, Li Guozhu's bloodline still relies on this emergency system to pass on to this day, and the inheritance is probably complete.The princes and grandchildren who can succeed to the throne, no matter how they come out, they all come from the direct bloodline of the original Ziweiyuan Immortal Venerable and Nangong Imperial Concubine.

Therefore, even though the Nangong family has not married the Liguo clan for a long time, the Nangong warlords have not completely broken with the Liguo clan so far because of such a little blood and patriarchal relationship. And cannot get rid of the shackles of subordinates in this layer of jurisprudence.

Although it may not be the first time for Li Qingyue, it is indeed the first time for Li Fan to step into the Baisunyuan hidden in the shadow of the imperial city.

It's really just a small courtyard, surrounded by high walls. When you look up, you can only see the arrow tower on the top of the green wall and the flag of Liguo's Suzaku King.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the yard, only a few wet nurses and old eunuchs, taking care of three infants.

These three are all Li You, no, the heirs of the former lord Li Heng, the bastards born to the maidservants and dancers when he was having fun and having fun.If there are some kings who have been in power for a longer time, and the immortality is hanging on the pill, or the son of 60 years, then this place will really be overcrowded. After all, it is not without reason that it is called Baisunyuan.

The succession ceremony to be held later is also very simple. The vassal princes and brothers selected by the clan will go through secret rituals and drink the blood of these bastards. Of course, they are not so bloody and barbaric. With a knife in the heart, just drink a small plate of wine.

Then the Zongzheng Temple will replace the royal certificates held by both sides, and the selected prince of the right age will adopt Li Heng's name on the genealogy, continue the royal order of the lineage, and become a new generation of the country's lord, and There are two county kings.

Of course, if they were older, these 'shu' sons would definitely be strangled.If it was the bloodiest era when the struggle of the royal descendants was the most bloody, even these three babies would definitely not be able to survive.However, the Li Kingdom's clan had been ostracized for a long time, so there was no need for such a bloody affair between the clans.In the future, these three children will be sent to the mansions of other vassals to be raised in captivity and become real bastards, which will be recorded in the case files of the Zongzheng Mansion.

Maybe, if luck is particularly good, some of their descendants will go around and come back, and it may not be certain to inherit the orthodoxy.

Of course, it is not known whether it was really done in this way, or because Li Fan asked him in person.

At this time, the previous dynasty was still decorating with lanterns and festoons, arbitrarily preparing for the enthronement ceremony of the new king, but the purple-robed prime ministers Zhu Guo and others came to this small corner and squatted in line.

After all, these dignitaries from Liguo may not know how many people are starving to death every day at the foot of the high walls of the imperial city, but there was an incident in the Liguo clan that hoisted up and killed all the gods in Nangong and Hengshan. , that couldn't be more clear.

Suddenly, an old eunuch whose eyebrows grew to his cheeks like catkins suddenly jumped over from the other side of the green wall, and then, under Li Fan's bewildered eyes, stretched out his hands, threw his body to the ground, and worshiped like a snail Arched and crawled to Li Fan's feet,
"King~~up~~~"

Li Fanxu squinted at the other party from the corner of his eyes, and the hair on his neck stood on end.

Damn it, when did this old guy approach silently from the other side of the wall!Do not!no!This guy is actually a god? ?
And the eunuch in purple, who was kneeling outside the Baisun Courtyard with the same buttocks up, shivered suddenly when he saw it, with cold sweat pouring out of his head.

"Guan Hou, Da Changqiu is old and can't see clearly, don't blame him!

Grandpa!This one belongs to the family of Guangling Shizi, and now he is the Marquis of Guannei, the Lord of Mount Mo, not the king.

Come here, ask the ancestors to go back and rest. "

"Not the king?"

The old eunuch with long eyebrows also raised his head, with a dazed expression on his face, obediently being helped away by the two little yellow gates.

old?How many years does it take for a great eunuch in the realm of transforming gods to live like this?
Li Fan frowned and looked at it for a while before confirming that this should not be Li Qiugong's shaming.

This old guy's spiritual consciousness is weak, and his divine light is dim. I don't know if he was split by the primordial spirit when he crossed the catastrophe. He looked dazed and stared at him, and he really looked like a Parkinson's.

But this guy's Dao body is really a bit strong, those hands are like jade carvings glowing, and the other party is not consuming outer pills, but purely relying on martial arts to become a god!Even if the mind is completely empty, getting a slap in the face will kill you...

Li Fan's face was expressionless, but in fact, there was a layer of cold sweat on his back. After the old man was helped away, he looked at the purple-clothed eunuch who came over and knelt at his feet, and outside the hall behind, seventeen or eight people crowded together A group of Nascent Soul Realm dignitaries kneeling on the ground.

"Which one are you?"

The purple-clothed eunuch was sweating profusely, licking his face and said, "Chou Liang, the current foreman of the inner servant! I have heard of your name as the Marquis of Guannei from Honglu Shaoqing! I only hate that the fortune is shallow, and I can't wait for your summoning." !

It's rare that you, Lord Hou, have free time today, so when you come back to sit at home, the slaves and servants have summoned all their children and grandchildren to pay their respects to you! "

"See you Lord Hou!"

Then that group probably walked out, it was also the general, the officials in purple clothes who were ministers, but at this moment they really looked like their sons and grandchildren, kowtowing to Li Fanbangbangbangde with a coquettish smile.

Honglu Shaoqing... Oh, do you mean Wang Lang?Not counting Parkinson's just now, this eunuch Qiu is probably the leader of the eunuchs in the palace and a group of jackals in the west after the eunuch Wang...

Li Fan glanced at these people. Except for the eunuch Qiu and the two military officers who looked like generals, who were masters of martial arts training, most of the others were dignitaries who used Shenying Dan and Shenbang for protection, and their cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Realm. The kind that can be chopped down at will.

However, in the Liqiu Palace, there is probably not only one ancestor like the Da Changqiu just now. Although it is obviously too old to be useful, it is okay to frighten people out of nowhere.

"Okay, let me just say it straight. I called you here not for other reasons. I heard that you have made a lot of money building houses in the past few years, right? Can you share some with me?"

Li Fan smiled and rubbed his hands at them.

"Yes! Yes! It's ready for you! Hurry up! Offer it up!"

Qiu Liang narrowed his eyes with a smile, pouted his buttocks and moved aside to get out of the way.Then the little yellow gates filed in and put down four trays in front of Li Fan.

As if offering a treasure, the eunuch Qiu uncovered the silks on the tray and introduced them one by one.

"These are the three swords of the Son of Heaven in the ancient Immortal Palace. They are practiced at night and day. Fang Zhou sees shadows but does not see light. Fang Ye sees light but does not see form. It touches objects, but passes them by. Follow the passing and reunion. You will feel sick and not bleed." Blade Yan..."

Why is it a flying sword... Oh, it's a ritual sword that was an accessory for the ancient emperor's dynasty.It's the kind of sword that is more than four feet long, and you can't even pull it out when you encounter an assassin.

Of course, Li Fan can tell that this sword is genuine, and the sword master doesn't know whether it is seriously injured and broken, or it is sealed, and there is no response to the detection of spiritual consciousness, but in short, it is obviously a good thing in the realm of transforming gods, but his hand There are really too many swords...

Seeing that Li Fan just curled his lips in the face of such a treasure that has gone down in history, he has no interest, Qiu Liang sweats!

No, that's not right!Isn't this guy the one who likes to use swords the most? ?
The first flattery was missed, and the eunuch still gritted his teeth to stabilize, and hurriedly opened another plate, revealing a piece of guqin, while introducing, carefully observing Li Fan's expression.

"This piano is called Nanfeng, eight feet and six inches, with a broken belly. The so-called seven strings are like the seven stars. The big string is the king, and the small string is the minister. ..."

Li Fan expressed a little interest. This group of people is a little interesting, and they are really generous.The first hands are all treasures that transform into gods. There is also a spirit in this qin. Is it called Qin Jun?Probably the third grade... Huh?Three, five, seven...

Seeing that Li Fan seemed to be moved, Qiu Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile,

"This qin also has another magical feature, that is, just by plucking the strings, you can attract the Qin Lord to show up and accompany you. In this game, there are seven Qin Lord incarnations! And their incarnations are all modeled after the famous Sanyuan. It is a stunning visualization of the past dynasties! As the saying goes, beauties match heroes..."

Lying in a trough!Only three of my family are fighting bloody battles every day!Who can stand seven more of you!
Li Fan immediately rolled his eyes and waved his hand to indicate pass.

Eh, eh? ? ?Why don't you like this? ? ?
Qiu Liang Waterfall was sweating, so he had to wipe his cold sweat,

"Here, this is meteoric iron from the sky! Extraterritorial magic soldier! It is the auspicious person who recently fell into Liguo! As the saying goes, the emperor's destiny from the sky, the spirit returns to the body..."

Li Fan rolled his eyes, picked up the fast meteorite and shook it, "This is not bad, you can take it back to make a pot, I accept it, thank you."

"Ah, no, but this is Xiangrui, ah yes..."

I don't know how many people have died to snatch back the magic weapon, so I just beat it...

Qiu Liang was already numb, so he had no choice but to hesitate to speak and struggled for a long while before opening the last plate.

This is a golden bowl, and there is a golden chopstick beside it, which is actually a magic weapon of the transformation god level!

Li Fan was curious to look at this pair of bowls and chopsticks. What's the matter, the emperor also had to exchange gold bowls and chopsticks for meals?

Qiu Liang also knew that Li Fan had never seen this thing before, so he picked up the golden chopsticks as if demonstrating, and knocked on the bowl.Then there was a jingle, and countless money from the gods poured out.

When Li Fan took a look at the effect of the spell, he could see the arrangement and combination of the curse marks on the bowl. This is a magic weapon for storage similar to the function of storage jade and brave. The other end is probably connected to a small treasury in a dragon vein. .

Qiu Liang laughed and said, "These yellow and white things are for the little ones to honor the Lord Hou, and they are about 5000 million yuan."

So Li Fan looked at the bowl, then turned to look at the eunuch expressionlessly, "...how much did you say?"

Qiu Liang froze for a moment when Li Fan stared at him abruptly, and then someone outside took the opportunity to shout,

"It's 480!"

Li Fan then turned his head to stare at the golden bowl, and pointed, "Who are you! Come out and answer!"

Then, from the crowd at the back, an old man with a goatee in purple silk and a goldfish bag with a jade hook on his waist knelt on the ground and bowed three times, "Li Hongxian, the Royal Censor of the Li Kingdom, pays homage to the Marquis of Guannei."

Li Fan turned to stare at him.

Qiu Liang leaned over and whispered, "Doctor Li must follow, if you don't want to see..."

Li Fan waved his hand, "Come out and talk."

So Qiu Liang immediately shrank to a corner and pretended to be dead, while Li Hongxian immediately crawled over and kowtowed, and said with a flattering smile,
"Returning to Lord Marquis, the Li country is now surrounded by powerful enemies, and we, as ministers of the Li country, are deeply favored by the emperor, how can we not share the worries of the king and serve the court?
Therefore, all the adults have donated generously, donated their family funds to support the state affairs, and won the trust of your colleagues. The ministers arranged and dispatched the funds, and finally fulfilled their mission. They have made some meager contributions to the country's economic strategy and dispatched the Quartet. ..."

So this guy started to show his merits, first of all, he praised all the dignitaries and ministers who left the country. In order to share the country's worries and also serve for General Zhennan, they generously donated their money to support national defense projects and Changsi. The development and construction of the city, in order to alleviate the urgent need of the country.

Then he talked about how he suffered so much, how he worked hard, how he traded, broke one copper plate into two, and made two copper coins into four envoys. Finally, under his outstanding talent, he left the country after a few years. The national treasury is well-equipped, the soldiers are well-equipped, and various construction projects have been completed, which is not considered to have failed the trust and entrustment of the imperial court.

By the way, I have accumulated so much gold and silver here. In the final analysis, everyone is optimistic about the ancestor of the Li family, Qingyue, and dedicated it to your investment. You can spend whatever you want. If it’s not enough, tell your family, the elders care about you, Chirp~~~
Well, although the dignitaries around are not as good as the Censor, but Lian Lian nodded in agreement, probably if he was not afraid of Li Fan drawing his sword and cutting someone, he would really want to pounce on you and kneel and lick Jiu Mi love you.

Li Fan didn't interrupt him, he just looked at the golden bowl expressionlessly, and after Li Hongxian finished speaking, he asked lightly,
"I heard that many people in Changsi City went bankrupt, is it okay?"

Li Hongxian rolled his eyes and immediately stopped talking, while Qiu Liang hurriedly knelt down and cried,

"It's all the fault of the little ones. I also heard that some of the people below have acted too much. I will arrange for three stewards to strictly investigate those moths who are corrupt and pervert the law!"

Li Hongxian looked at everyone's faces, rolled his eyes twice, and spoke again,
"Hou Ye is considerate, but seeing that the war is about to start, it is not certain when Changsi City will fall into war. It is not surprising that the property in Changsi City will disappear when it is gone. The country is solid!

But to speak privately, if there is a contingency, the adults in the court have already set up a fairy house in Mozhu Mountain, so that they can avoid disaster at any time, and it is difficult for these people in the city to move their homeland, so what should we do at that time Woolen cloth?

Therefore, the lower officials are presumptuous, and can only think of some drastic measures to push forward the decree of developing southern Xinjiang, reducing the population and moving to the south for development. Sometimes it is more decisive to do things, but this is really helpless!
What's more, the imperial court gave each household 20 guan as a property purchase fee. Although the money is not much, but now 2000 households have been moved to Jingfu, which adds up to a cost of [-] million yuan, and many of them are made of cattle, livestock, vehicles and boats For accounting, it needs to be transferred from the border warehouse, and the frontier defense must be prioritized. It is also very difficult for the branch department!
Perhaps some local governments are temporarily unable to turn around, resulting in things that have not been distributed, or there are omissions, which will inevitably cause public grievances, but you have already sent a message to ask, Lord Hou, and I will definitely arrange to make up for it!I just ask you to give me some time, and consider the difficulties below! "

"Yes, yes, it's difficult~~" Qiu Liang nodded repeatedly.

Good guys, Mo Zhushan asked you to do what you said.

Li Fan looked at the bowl again.

Li Hongxian also knew what Li Fan meant, and explained, "These have nothing to do with the court, they are just a little contribution from everyone. It is true that Shengang money has been degraded a lot these years, but it is still a filial piety. Please just accept it. Don't be polite."

"A little heart is a little heart!" Qiu Liang nodded frequently.

Well, 2000 million taels is a lot, 5000 million taels is just a little thought.There is still a piece of the pie for him, do you want to say thank you?

Li Fan looked at the 'Xiaolian' handle, hesitated for a while, and finally walked up to Li Hongxian and knelt down, bowing his head and asking him.

"Does Yushi know that the slaves in the city are of low status, and they are restricted by the contract of selling themselves, so they can't leave Changsi City?"

The old man rolled his eyes three times, and immediately understood what Li Fan meant, and immediately slapped his thigh.

"That's right! Now that the imperial court wants to develop southern borders, it's time to employ people. It is urgent to release slaves and develop manpower! Thank you Guan Neihou for your advice!
Now that the new king has succeeded to the throne, he can announce it to the world and amnesty the whole world. Anyone who has not committed the ten evils can be exonerated and return to a good family.As for the private slaves, you can ask the palace to issue a release order to release the slaves. According to the estimates of the officials, there are still more than a million low-ranking people in Beijing. If the previous rules are followed, if there are another 2000 million yuan for them to settle down and make businesses , probably about the same.

It’s just that the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled are fine. For those who are still in use, the rich and noble families may not necessarily be willing to terminate the contract, and some servants may not be willing to lose their jobs. Maybe they will cause trouble...

But it is not difficult!The lower official is willing to set an example first, you can first cancel the contract of sale of the servants at home, and then re-sign the contract in the form of a contract worker, after all, now that the price of money and grain is too high, it is necessary to recalculate the wages, so that the confidantes can feel at ease..."

Heh, it seems that the person who can become the royal doctor is really capable. In the blink of an eye, not only did he arrange everything, but he also directly started to persuade the surrounding dignitaries and lords, and started to do ideological work.

Li Fan stood up, picked up the golden rice bowl and threw it to Li Hongxian, then cupped his fists and bowed around,
"Here, I have some intentions here, I would like to ask Doctor Yushi to make arrangements to release the lowly slaves who have left the country, and arrange them to my Moshan to cultivate fields.

My lords have also heard that, if you are really loyal and difficult to leave the old master, I will not force you, but if someone in the family wants to leave, please give me Li Qingyue a face, do me this favor, and let them go free body.

As long as this is accomplished, I, Li Qingyue, owe you a favor. "

Everyone at the scene dared not say anything, they all avoided and returned the courtesy, expressing that they must buy the face of the Marquis of Guannei.
