Conan's Devil Child Comes to the World

Chapter 430 If the imperial court is weak, the Jianghu will be strong (Second update, ask for votes)

(O_o)??
Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, Liu Zhengfeng quickly led an official in official uniform into the room.

"Is this person also a martial arts master?"

"I think this person's footsteps are flimsy, and he doesn't look like he knows martial arts?"

"Liu Zhengfeng is a great gentleman in Hengshan City, and he usually has to make friends with the government. Today is a happy day for him. It's not surprising that the local officials came to perfunctory."

While everyone was discussing in low voices, the official came straight in and stood in the middle. The yamen servant behind him knelt down on his right leg, raised his hands above his head, and presented a tray covered with yellow satin with a scroll on it.

The official bowed, took the scroll, and said loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived, Liu Zhengfeng listens to it."

!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

Everyone heard the words, their expressions suddenly changed, and they thought to themselves: "Liu Zhengfeng washes his hands in the golden basin, seals his sword and returns to seclusion, that is a matter in the world, what does it have to do with the court? Why did the emperor issue an imperial edict?

Could it be that Liu Zhengfeng had a big conspiracy and was found out by the court? That is a serious crime of beheading and ransacking his family! "

Many guests thought of this possibility, and some of them who were impatient had already picked up the weapons beside them and were ready to fight.

According to the thinking of these guests, since the official came to announce the decree, there must be a dense army of officers and soldiers around the Liu residence, and a big fight is inevitable.

Most of the guests who came to participate in the Golden Pen Washing Hands Conference had a good relationship with Liu Zhengfeng, and they must not stand by and watch, and under the overthrow of the nest, how could there be any eggs?
If Liu Zhengfeng really did the treasonous thing, everyone present would naturally be regarded as rebellious against the party, so why not fight hard!
︿(￣︶￣)︿

Suzuki Seimei noticed the actions of those guests and felt amused in his heart. Of course he knew the real purpose of Liu Zhengfeng in inviting this official.

(O_O)?
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Liu Zhengfeng suddenly bent his knees, knelt down towards the imperial decree held by the official, and said in a loud voice: "Your servant Liu Zhengfeng listens to the decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

I saw the official spread out the imperial decree and said: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: According to the governor of Hun Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a commoner in Hengshan County, is eager for public service and righteousness. From now on, I will serve the imperial court and live up to my expectations. I respect you."

"My humble minister Liu Zhengfeng thank you, long live my emperor!"

Liu Zhengfeng kowtowed again to accept the imperial decree, then bowed to the official and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your cultivation and promotion!"

Master Zhang smiled and said: "Congratulations, General Liu, from now on you and I will be ministers, so you don't have to be so polite."

"The young general was originally a reckless man. Today, he was awarded an official by the court. It is true that the emperor has been favored and made the young general honor his ancestors. However, it is also an over-qualified cultivation by the benefactor, the governor and Mr. Zhang."

Liu Zhengfeng first flattered the official, then turned his head to Qianju and said, "Brother Fang Xian, how about a gift from Mr. Zhang?"

"It's already here."

Fang Qianju heard the words, and quickly handed the package in his hand to Liu Zhengfeng.

"Small courtesy is not a respect, please accept it with a smile, Mr. Zhang!"

"They are all my brothers, Master Liu doesn't need to be so polite."

Master Zhang spoke very politely, but secretly cast a look at the guard beside him.

When the guard took the package, his arms sank down. It was obvious that the package contained a lot of weight, not silver but gold.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhang smiled brighter and brighter.

"Little brother still has official business, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time. Come and pour three glasses of wine. Congratulations to General Liu for his appointment today and his promotion in the future. Your Majesty's kindness will continue to add you."

After Mr. Zhang finished speaking, he drank three glasses of wine in a row, and then, accompanied by Liu Zhengfeng, he left Liu's mansion contentedly.

The sound of gongs and shouts sounded again outside the door, and the Liu Manor released the guns again, causing the guests present to look at each other in dismay, wondering which play Liu Zhengfeng was singing?

If it was placed in the prosperous Ming Dynasty, the position of a general who ranked as the third rank was indeed a high-ranking official.

But now that treacherous ministers are in power, Wei Zhongxian even openly buys and sells official positions. Third-rank military generals such as generals can be bought as long as they have money.

Of course!
This kind of military general official position obtained through trading is just a title, but it will not have much real power in his hands.

As the second in command of the Hengshan faction, Liu Zhengfeng was not a member of the imperial court before. This post of general was definitely not obtained through formal means, but bought at a high price.

If Suzuki Seimei guessed correctly, Liu Zhengfeng spent a lot of money to buy this position of general, obviously because he wanted to pull the imperial court's tiger's skin and deter the Songshan faction that was about to move.

However, Liu Zhengfeng still underestimated Zuo Lengchan's ambition too much. Just having a position as a general bought with money was not enough to scare off the people of the Songshan faction.

The reason why Wei Zhongxian bought and sold official positions openly was to collect money wantonly. As for the life or death of those who bought the official position, it was out of his jurisdiction.

Since Liu Zhengfeng can spend money to buy officials, Zuo Lengchan can naturally spend money to manage the top and bottom, so that those officials who are greedy for money will turn a blind eye.

As the saying goes: the imperial court is strong, but the rivers and lakes are weak.If the court is weak, the rivers and lakes are strong.

People in the Jianghu say it nicely, that is Jianghu knight-errants, heroes of the green forest, or put it harshly, that is a group of young and Dangerous boys who know martial arts.

Whenever the power of the imperial court is strong, it will find ways to suppress and restrict the major sects in the arena to prevent them from disrupting the country's order.

Therefore, the martial arts novels written by Jin Daxia are almost set at the end of the dynasty, or the early days of the founding of the country.

Only when the power of the imperial court is weakened, can the rivers and lakes usher in a prosperous age, among which the beggar gang is the best example.

The stronger the power of the beggar gang in the arena, the weaker the power of the country.

Who would want to be a beggar if it wasn't really impossible to survive? !
After seeing off Mr. Zhang, Liu Zhengfeng came back with a big smile on his face, and invited the guests present to take their seats.

It's just that what Liu Zhengfeng didn't know was that many of the guests present were already dissatisfied with him.

Those who can receive Liu Zhengfeng's invitation letter are basically people who are well-known in the arena and have high self-esteem, and they have never put the government in their eyes.

The reason why these guests were willing to come and participate in the Golden Basin Handwashing Conference held by Liu Zhengfeng was mainly because of the face of the Hengshan School, and they also admired him as a hero of the rivers and lakes.

At this moment, seeing Liu Zhengfeng stalking the crowd and being named a little military officer with sesame seeds and mung beans by the emperor, he was overwhelmed with gratitude, made all kinds of nasty expressions, and even offered bribes openly. He couldn't help looking down on him, and many people couldn't help but show contempt. .
