Dafeng Night Watchman-Chapter 762 Overtime
Chapter 762 - 762 Overtime
The candlelight in the east room was bright. On the high-legged coffee table in the corner of the room was a lifelike golden beast, with wisps of sandalwood smoke coming out of its mouth.
Xu Qian'an opened the curtain with his hand, walked into the inner room, sat down at the table, and said seriously:
"Master, today's battle has consumed a lot of energy. I am worried about you, so I came to see you."
As he spoke, he admired the woman sitting cross-legged on the bed. She had taken off her outer robe, revealing a bright silk dress.
She had a jade belt tied around her waist, which was only one finger wide, outlining her small waist. With her tall and plump breasts, she showed off her most beautiful curves and proportions.
Men can never resist women with plump breasts and slender waists.
What's more, the cold beauty on the bed also had a round and elastic buttocks.
Luo Yuheng said calmly:
"Do you have to do it in the middle of the night?"
If it's not at night, are you committing adultery in the daytime?......Xu Qiyan murmured in his heart, and said seriously:
"Speaking of which, we have practiced dual cultivation twice since we entered the martial arts world."
One cycle is seven days.
Hearing this, Luo Yuheng's face, as delicate as a jade carving, changed slightly, and he said coldly:
"Dual cultivation is a transaction between you and me. There is no need to say more. In the past, we should keep the distance as we should. Don't let what happened during the transaction mess up your mood."
You are so arrogant. If I were the one who said this, I would definitely criticize this scumbag...Xu Qiyan's attitude towards the national teacher was somewhat expected. .
I went to Lingbao Temple to find her that day, hoping to ask her to come to Xunzhou to support me, but I met Mu Nanzhi, that stupid woman, who came to Lingbao Temple to show off...
Xu Qiyan knew that the national teacher would not be nice to him. The reason why he came to Xunzhou today was that the national teacher put the overall situation first. Xu Qiyan admired this very much. The national teacher and His Majesty were the most rational and had the most overall view.
"Of course, of course, the national teacher is the head of the human sect, a heroine, and naturally different from ordinary women. But what I want to say is..."
After a pause, Xu Qiyan said: "When will the next dual cultivation be? Well, national teacher, don't get me wrong, you also know that although the black lotus has been removed, Taoist Jinlian can also restore his cultivation and return to the second-grade status.
"But Yunzhou still has two first-grade Jialuoshu and Baidi, and the gap between the two sides is still huge, not to mention Xu Pingfeng in Qingzhou and Yunzhou. "
Xu Qiyan, a warrior who has just entered the second rank, can push his combat power to the same level as Asura by relying on the power of all living beings and various means. If he bursts out with all his strength, he can even break a statue of the Bodhisattva of the Gala Tree.
Then, as Xu Pingfeng, who is at the peak of the second rank, relying on the blessing of the power of all living beings, it must be no problem for his combat power to reach the threshold of the first rank.
Xu Qiyan opened the cup, took a sip of cold water, and said:
"So, when can you, the national master, enter the first rank? It is very important."
Luo Yuheng nodded and agreed with his statement. Among the extraordinary strong men of Dafeng, no one except her can be promoted to the first rank in a short time.
"Then the next time the national master is burned by the fire of karma is......" Xu Qiyan tried.
"Half a month later! "Luo Yuheng spoke with a cold expression.
Half a month later, it was not once a month. She was gradually able to suppress the karmic fire and delay its onset! Xu Qi'an made a judgment in his mind and asked again:
"National Master, there is one thing I don't understand."
Luo Yuheng said "hmm" without any expression, indicating that he should speak frankly.
"I remember that the core purpose of dual cultivation is to calm the karmic fire. When the calamity is passed in the future, the national master can concentrate on fighting the heavenly calamity without worrying about the karmic fire burning his body and causing his death."
Luo Yuheng nodded slightly after listening.
Xu Qi'an asked again:
"In other words, it is not necessary to wait until the karmic fire backfires before dual cultivation."
Luo Yuheng looked at him coldly:
"What do you want to say."
Xu Qi'an rubbed his hands excitedly:
"I apply for overtime! "
It would be even better if I could apply for the 996 blessing."
After the words fell, Luo Yuheng slashed with a sword. Although she didn't quite understand the meaning of the word "overtime", she saw Xu Qi'an's winking look and tone, and immediately understood what he wanted to do.
The magic sword "ding" slashed on Xu Qi'an's shoulder, cutting out a string of sparks, and the curtains in the room suddenly swayed, and the green plants swayed.
"Is the national teacher shy?"
Xu Qi'an's figure flashed and came to the bedside, smiling and hooking Luo Yuheng's waist.
"Let go!"
Luo Yuheng's eyebrows were raised, and she said angrily:
"Am I too tolerant of you, letting you become more and more presumptuous? "
The divine sword stabbed Xu Qian'an's back with a "ding ding ding" sound, just like a small fist slapping a maid who wanted to humiliate her own lady.
If you don't want to practice dual cultivation, why do you stay in Xunzhou? You can go back to the capital during the day. If you don't want to practice dual cultivation, why do you light candles in the middle of the night to hint at me? Also, the sandalwood in the incense burner is mixed with a slight aphrodisiac powder. If you don't want to practice dual cultivation, don't you want to inhale it for fun...
"National Master..." Xu Qian'an whispered soft words, all sweet words to coax a woman.
He couldn't expose Luo Yuheng back then, so he had to say something nice to show that it was him who was lustful, not the national master who intended to practice dual cultivation.
Otherwise, the national master would explode on the spot and really drive him out.
A woman like Luo Yuheng, who is noble, reserved and proud, is most susceptible to half-hearted pushes.
While coaxing, Xu Qian'an untied Luo Yuheng's belt and lowered his head to kiss her neck.
"Let go! "
Luo Yuheng pushed him in the chest with one hand, pressed the hand on his waist with the other hand, and glared at him:
"When my karmic fire backfires, I will find you. Get up. My patience is limited."
The divine sword released the sword intent that soared into the sky.
Xu Qiyan hugged her tightly and said with a smile:
"Let's string us together. I can die with the national teacher for love, and I have no regrets."
As he said, he threw Luo Yuheng on the bed.
"Get up!"
"No!"
"Xu Qiyan, are you looking for death?"
"Yes."
"......"

After a moment of stalemate, her chest rose and fell, Luo Yuheng's face was slightly angry, and she turned her face to the side and said coldly:
"Just this time! "
The sword fell to the ground with a clang, and the raised bed curtains automatically fell off, blocking the scenery inside the bed.
The east room was quiet, and the sound of undressing could be heard faintly.
After a while, the hanging bed curtains moved, and robes, skirts, bellybands, etc. rolled out.
After a while, the low-hanging bed curtains began to shake, and the wooden bed made a solo in the silent night.
........
Beijing, Mao time.
This is the third court meeting since the eldest princess ascended the throne.
The officials in the capital originally thought that the new monarch would show a diligent attitude when he ascended the throne, and there would be a phenomenon of early court every day for a long time to come.
Yuan Jing in the past, and Yongxing who abdicated not long ago, did this.
But Huaiqing did not. She showed strong self-confidence and confidence, and did not show her diligent attitude in this way.
Today's court meeting, all officials in the sound of bells and drums , passing through the Meridian Gate, crossing the Jinshui Bridge, or standing on the steps, officialdom, or entering the Jinluan Palace.
There are more unfamiliar faces in the kilometers.
In addition to the officials who were purged in the court, there are also the first batch of bigwigs from various states who came to Beijing to report on their work.
After the situation in the capital stabilized, Huaiqing ordered the governors, commanders-in-chief, and some powerful officials from various states to report on their work in Beijing (to do ideological construction work).
Now the first batch of officials have arrived in the capital.
They waited anxiously in the post station for three days, but they didn't get an audience with the empress. This was very embarrassing, because before they met the emperor, they couldn't contact the officials in Beijing privately.
Until yesterday, they finally received a notice to attend the court meeting.
These officials who returned to Beijing to report on their work suppressed their resentment and anxiety in their hearts and followed the officials into the Jinluan Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Spring Festival is approaching. I sent people to check the situation of farmers in various states and found that the phenomenon of land annexation is serious. Even if spring comes, the refugees will want to return to their hometowns to cultivate the land, but there is no land for them to cultivate. "
The Minister of Revenue stepped out.
When ordinary people can't make a living, it is a common practice to sell their land, which gives the nobles and landlords the opportunity to buy land at a low price. Even without forcing the people, there are civilians who can't make a living and take the initiative to buy land.
The phenomenon pointed out by the Minister of Revenue is the most serious problem faced by the court after the severe winter.
This is the sequelae of the cold disaster.
The woman in the bright yellow dragon robe swept the ministers with a majestic aura:
"Do you have any good ideas, my dear ministers? "
The gentlemen offered suggestions one after another, but they were all old-fashioned methods that only treated the symptoms but not the root cause.
Since ancient times, the imperial court hated land annexation the most, but was helpless.
Because the people who annexed the land were the "power holders" in various states and regions, and a large part of those gentry and wealthy families were officials who retired and returned to their hometowns. No one would be stupid enough to fight against themselves, and the gentlemen are also from this class.
Secondly, apart from their own class, this problem is indeed difficult to deal with, because if they force too much, they will encounter resistance from the landowners.
Especially in the current turbulent situation, the gentlemen are even more constrained.
Yongxing, this waste... Huaiqing listened silently and said:
"I have a few ways, you gentlemen can listen. "
If Yongxing had adopted Xu Erlang's strategy, the phenomenon of land annexation would have been greatly alleviated.
If the king is incompetent, it will bring disaster to the country and the people.
Huaiqing said:
"Add customs markets and market towns in Jianzhou and Yuzhou, increase trade with the northern monsters, the southern border Wan Yao Kingdom, and the Gu tribe, collect commercial taxes from the Central Plains caravans and foreign races, and fill the treasury. "
The eyes of the gentlemen lit up.
This is indeed a good idea. Southern Xinjiang is rich in products, including wood, medicinal materials, game, and furs. It can be said to be an inexhaustible treasure land.
The northern monsters are also rich in furs, which happen to be the most in-demand materials in the Central Plains today. The Central Plains caravans will surely flock to it and try their best to go to the Guanshi to do business.
Silver can flow into the national treasury in large quantities.
In the past, your majesty's method would definitely not work, but recently Xu Yinluo has formed an alliance with the Wan Yao Kingdom and the Gu Clan, and the two sides have a basis for harmonious trade.
In this way, not only can the national treasury be filled, but materials from Southern Xinjiang and the north will also flow into the Central Plains, greatly alleviating the embarrassing situation of material shortages.
And with trade, it will inevitably drive labor, so that the people have something to do and a harvest.
While the gentlemen were analyzing the pros and cons of this plan, Huaiqing continued:
"Buying and selling land during wartime will cost lives! Let the Ministry of Revenue conduct a thorough investigation of land transactions since the beginning of winter. Anyone who buys or sells land will be killed without mercy!"
This sentence instantly brought the gentlemen back to reality. The faces of the big men from various states who were reporting on their work changed.
"Your Majesty, think twice."
The Prime Minister Qian Qingshu stepped out and said in a deep voice:
"If this is the case, it will definitely lead to a counterattack from the local gentry, and the consequences will be disastrous."
Huaiqing nodded slightly:
"Qian Aiqing's words make sense. I have just ascended the throne, so it is not appropriate to commit murder. Let those who bought the land sell it back to the court at the price they bought it at."
The gentlemen were stunned when they heard this.
Suddenly they understood the reason why His Majesty Huaiqing added the customs market. This was to pave the way for the recovery of the land. The people must sell the land at a low price, and the court does not need to spend too much money to buy it back.
But this method is good, but the gentry and landlords in various places may not agree.
A provincial governor who was returning to Beijing to report on his work stepped out and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, this plan is brilliant, but the timing is wrong."
He talked a lot on the grounds of the turbulent situation.
Of course, he couldn't argue with Huaiqing openly. Using war as an excuse was the best excuse, and it was indeed reasonable.
The court didn't have the ability to do this now.
Huaiqing sat on the throne, listened to him expressionlessly, looked at the officials below, and said:
"I received a letter from Xu Yinluo's magic weapon last night, saying that Xunzhou won a great victory and killed more than 10,000 enemies. Xu Yinluo defeated the extraordinary strongman of Yunzhou and beheaded the leader of the Dizong Dao in Qingzhou."
In the Jinluan Palace, there was a sudden silence.
After a few seconds of silence, the Left Censor-in-Chief Liu Hong was ecstatic and shouted:
"God bless Dafeng, God bless Your Majesty!"
The joy spread in the palace, and the officials were in high spirits and excited.
Since the death of the Supervisor, the court has been in a depressed state, and it needs such good news to cheer people up.
The officials who came to Beijing to report on their work looked at each other in shock.
At this moment, they suddenly understood why the empress deliberately ignored them, and their dissatisfaction and vigilance disappeared.
They dared not oppose the forced repurchase of land. They believed that with the empress's skills and courage, she would definitely be able to massacre the gentry and powerful.
And the facts proved that the court had such ability.
........
After the court was dismissed.
Sun Shangshu caught up with the Prime Minister Qian Qingshu and sighed:
"I seem to have returned to the time of Wei Yuan."
He was referring to the situation when Yuan Jing was in power. Unlike Emperor Yongxing, Yuan Jing's skills and scheming could suppress the Wei Party and the Wang Party.
Qian Qingshu was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"No, your majesty's ability far exceeds that of Emperor Yuan Jing."
Huaiqing's ability to handle government affairs is by no means comparable to that of Emperor Yuan Jing. The latter's strength lies in the emperor's mind, while the former is a real ability.
His majesty's series of strategies just now made Qian Qingshu feel ashamed of being a person who is just sitting on the throne for nothing.
Shangshu Sun smiled and said:
"This is a good thing."
Qian Qingshu was silent for a few seconds, then sighed:
"Yes, it's a great thing, Dafeng's luck is not over yet."
......
After dawn, the bulletin boards of major government offices and the bulletin walls at the city gates posted information about the great victory in Xunzhou.
As Liu Hong said, this is an exciting news, which wiped out the last sequelae of Huaiqing's accession to the throne.
Even the most stubborn and rigid people can no longer say that "a woman's enthronement is a disaster for the country and the people."
"Your Majesty is really the man of destiny. No wonder there were auspicious signs on the day of his accession. Look, it has only been a short time since he ascended the throne, and Yongzhou has won a victory. We don't have to worry about the rebels coming to the capital."
Yongzhou is adjacent to the capital. If the war in Yongzhou is unfavorable, the people in the capital will panic.
"Your Majesty is of course the man of destiny, because she was chosen by Xu Yinluo."
"I said that Xu Yinluo was a hero who drove away 200,000 Wushenjiao troops with one sword at Yuyang Pass. It was just the Yunzhou rebels."
"What realm is a second-grade master? He looks very powerful?"
"Of course he is powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he is not as powerful as Xu Yinluo. Xu Yinluo is a first-grade master."
"Nonsense, isn't he just one grade more powerful than this second-grade master? Xu Yinluo is obviously at the emperor level, and there is no more grade."
The news came quickly, and the people in the market cheered.
........
Xunzhou, mansion
Xu Qi'an was in a deep sleep, and was suddenly awakened by a familiar palpitation.
He stretched out his hand lazily, and the fragment of the Earth Book flew up from the messy pile of clothes and hit the low bed curtain.
Then it was intercepted by a white jade hand.
Luo Yuheng opened her eyes, retracted her arm, and looked at the mirror of the fragment of the Earth Book like looking at a mobile phone.
.......Xu Qi'an could only get closer to her and look at the words displayed on the mirror with her.
Luo Yuheng frowned and said lightly:
"You pressed my hair."
Cut it into a buzz cut......Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, and carefully gathered her black hair scattered on the soft pillow.
Luo Yuheng was satisfied.
[Nine: I have already initially refined the soul of the black lotus. Well, I can tell you some secrets. ]
Yes, Taoist Jinlian is a man of his word......Xu Qian'an's eyes lit up and he explained to his aunt:
"It's about the secret of the fragments of the Earth Book."
