Chapter 600

Gently exhaling a foul breath, feeling the increasingly majestic power in his body, Lin Xiu walked out of his courtyard with a smile on his face, looked up at the starry sky, and found that his state of mind was even more rare.

During this journey in the world, Lin Xiu has seen and even personally experienced too many things. There are so many strange things in the world.

Bored, Lin Xiu suddenly remembered what the old teacher said during the day, his mind moved slightly, and under the cover of spiritual consciousness, he found the old teacher's residence, without disturbing anyone, Lin Xiu walked in the empty street , and then came to the place where the old teacher was.

At this time, a room in the old teacher's house was still brightly lit.

Lin Xiu stood at the gate of the old teacher's house, and with a thought, the sound transmission of spiritual consciousness resounded in the old teacher's ears instantly, and after a while, an old man tremblingly came to open the door.

Seeing that this was the young junior whom he had seen during the day, and that he was said to be extremely powerful, the old teacher did not dare to neglect him in the slightest. He hurriedly led Lin Xiu into the house, and even brought a pot of tea himself. , pecked lightly, Lin Xiu's eyes showed admiration, and he gave the old teacher a thumbs up: "good tea."

The old teacher didn't know what the purpose of Lin Xiu's visit was, so he had no choice but to sit beside him.

After a long time, Lin Xiu finally explained the purpose of his trip. When he heard what Lin Xiu said, he hoped to understand the story about the prime minister in the court, the old teacher showed a sad expression After a long time with tears in his eyes, he said with some sobs: "To be honest, the prime minister at the time was of the same clan as me, and people of our line are all proud of him. , we can do something beneficial to the common people in the world in the future, but just when we are all striving to become stronger, there is a sudden bad news, and since then, we have not been so concerned about obtaining fame."

Lin Xiuxiu sat in a tight seat, carefully listening to the old teacher tell the story of the hero of the year.

"The story happened 40 years ago. I was just a young child back then. I only knew that there was a talented man in the family who was well-educated. , and even won the first place, and finally got the opportunity to go to the palace for the imperial examination in the capital."

"Just like what is said in many Fengyue novels, gifted scholars and beautiful ladies will eventually have some very wonderful fates. My elder is like this. When he lived in Hanshan Temple, he accidentally met someone who came here to burn incense. A girl, the two of them fell in love at first sight, and even made a private decision for life. But my elder is just a scholar, and he came from a poor village. allow."

"Later, because the girl's family was very powerful in the capital, and even took charge of a party's military and political power, my elder had no choice but to make a private agreement with that girl, and he would not marry that girl until he was in high school. Fortunately, these two people really love each other. If the relationship lasts for a long time, how can they be in the same day and night? The two of them endured the pain of separation. My elder worked harder, and later he really went to high school. Even if he was ranked in the top three and was awarded the official position of editor of the Hanlin Academy. At this time, my elder is still just a young man in front of his beloved girl's family, and he is not worthy of marrying them at all, but what about that girl? But it was my elder who was right, and under pressure of death, he got the consent."

When the old teacher said this, he quietly wiped the red eyes with the back of his hand. Only then did Lin Xiu notice that she was already in tears. Obviously, when talking about the prime minister in the family, the old teacher Still full of respect in my heart.

"With the help of that girl's family, my elder's official career is also smooth sailing, and he will soon be sent to a state and county to serve as a parent officer. This is unimaginable in a court that respects force. At that time, I don’t know how many people wanted to get rid of their elders. Of course, it was my elder, but he was a kind-hearted person. After he took office, he worked hard and gradually improved the lives of the poor people. It has become a region that can be regarded as wealthy in the entire imperial court. Only then has it proved its own ability and was able to return to the imperial court again."

"Later, a lot of human nature happened. My elders were originally from the Han clan. Naturally, they wanted to seek benefits for the Han clan scholars in the world. This was incompatible with the court situation at that time, so the elders were everywhere. He was ostracized, and he was arrogant, and he didn't want to seek help from the family behind his wife, and after going back and forth, he gradually lost contact with that family, which made it even more difficult for him to move forward in the court."

The old teacher had a sad face, but when he talked about his elder, he was still radiant. Obviously, in his opinion, that prime minister at that time was the model of a true scholar, and he had achieved the three immortals that the sage said.

"The hard work pays off, and in addition to the original design, he is also a wise king. Naturally, he wants to improve the domestic situation and make the country stronger. With his acquiescence, a reform that swept the country began. Well, at that time, even though my elder was a scholar who had no power to restrain a chicken, three of the strong men who served as his personal bodyguards had reached the realm of the earth element. It is unimaginable to put them in the current court. things."

When Lin Xiu heard this, he also nodded silently. It seems that the prime minister above the court did have his own advantages. Otherwise, the emperor would not have made such great pains. You must know Every strong man in the earth element realm is already a top strong man above the general dynasty.

However, Lin Xiu still couldn't figure it out. Since the prime minister had such a powerful force as a support, why was he assassinated to death in the end? So he turned his head to look at the old man, shouted and expressed his doubts.

"In this world, it will never be smooth sailing because of a person's good or bad. Although the lives of those ordinary people have been greatly improved, it is the interests of some nobles who pay the price. The contradiction between the two sides It's getting bigger and bigger, and those aristocratic families think that if I continue to let my elders carry out reforms like this, then maybe at some point, they will lose all their privileges, and they naturally don't want to see such a thing happen." The old teacher said My mouth was a little dry here, I picked up the tea on the table, poured myself a cup, moistened my throat, and then continued to tell the story of the year.

"Looking at the past and present, all class struggles are based on the word interests. The class struggle between the Han people and the nobles has intensified. By this time, the interests of most people in the court have been touched. Even His Majesty the Emperor is a little embarrassed. Come to think of it, although the children of the Han clan were able to enter the court and become officials, which opened up a way to climb up. However, you must know that the Xianwu Continent is a world where the strong are respected after all. If there is no extremely powerful force as a guarantee, then all All honors are nothing more than flowers in the mirror and moon in the water, which can easily turn into bubbles in dreams."

The old teacher sighed, and the tears on his face became more and more, and he couldn't stop it no matter what, his tone was a little choked.

"A massacre against the Han clan group has begun. The nobles have extremely powerful force, and their children have also practiced very advanced martial arts and martial arts since childhood, but the Han clan's children just have no hands. Even though the scholars with the highest level of strength have climbed higher and higher in the officialdom over the years, there are gradually some personal servants who are extremely good in strength, but how can they compare with those nobles with deep roots?"

"By the time His Majesty the Emperor came to his senses, the rich and powerful families across the country had already let down their butcher knives. All the former officials under the prime minister's family were basically reduced to ashes overnight, leaving behind endless treasures for the country. The loyal and filial soul who sacrificed his life!"

"The prime minister is at the top of the court, and it is even more difficult to walk. Even though the holy majesty expected the worst to happen, so he sent a strong enough military finger to protect the prime minister's safety, but the holy majesty still underestimated the determination of those wealthy families. The entire dynasty only had these ten strong men who were in the Earth Element Realm. However, in order to kill the prime minister completely, these noble children and the Tuanxue Society really united for the first time. The heads behind those families, One by one, they regarded death as home, and killed all three of the prime minister's strong subordinates, even though they paid a huge price, they finally managed to kill the prime minister smoothly."

"The Holy Majesty was furious, and wanted to find these nobles to settle accounts after the fall, but suddenly lost so many top powers, and the country was in turmoil. If people from neighboring countries found out about these situations, then the dynasty would be really in danger. Well, in desperation, after weighing the pros and cons, the Holy One can only hold his nose and acquiesce to the bitter fruit of this time."

"Since then, the career of the entire dynasty has been firmly controlled by the aristocratic group. I don't know how difficult it is for the poor family to get a chance to do their best for the country. I gradually lost my confidence, even if I got a certain degree of fame, I still didn’t want to go to Beijing to rush for the exam, which also made almost all the high officials in the past few decades come from the children of those nobles.”

The old teacher sighed again, and at this moment he was sobbing. Lin Xiu looked at this scene quietly, and his heart felt a little sour. He really didn't expect that there are people in this world with a heart like that prime minister.

When he walked out of the old teacher's house, it was already midnight, and Lin Xiu suddenly felt a little sore in his heart. He thought that a peerless powerhouse like himself was throwing his head and blood in the confrontation with the Nether Palace. This is a very great event, but I didn't expect that only in an ordinary small dynasty, there would be such a broad-minded scholar who would do his best to serve the people of the world. At this moment, Lin Xiu's eyes were a little moist.
