Chapter 90 Civil and Military Struggle
Chapter 90
After Xie Ming hesitated for a moment, he said, "Maybe I took a wrong path myself, so I don't like seeing others who come after me take the wrong path, right?"
The thin man smiled and said, "Didn't anyone advise you before?"
"I have been persuaded." Xie Ming responded, then shook his head helplessly.
"Anyway, he is still young, so walking a few more steps is nothing. It is precisely because he is still young that he has the capital to take the wrong path. If he doesn't make a mistake now, when will he make a mistake? Moreover, how many young people are not stubborn?
?" The thin man laughed even louder.

Wang Qi walked slowly out of the rain and sat opposite Wang Qi.
"Come with me and show you the style of some great monks." Wang Qi said calmly.
"Is it far?" Wang Qi asked tiredly.
"Not far, just in the town."
Wang Qi asked again: "That Xie Ming——"
"He's here, but don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything to you." Wang Qi stood up and walked into the rain first, "By the way, remember to change your clothes. You show up as the elder of Huanfang Sword Field."
Although Wang Qi didn't understand, he still nodded. When he opened the red umbrella and walked into the rain, his clothes had been changed into a red robe.
Cross the street and reach a tall building.
The two walked in and went straight to the top floor.
Inside, there were many people waiting early. In addition to Xie Ming, there was also the thin scholar Wang Qi had seen, the sword cultivator, and others.
The middle-aged man smelled of blood, his eyebrows were like daggers. He looked at Wang Qi and nodded lightly: "Yu Feng."
Wang Qi saluted: "I have met my senior."
"This Yu Feng is a general of the Qin Army. He happened to be surrounding a group of rebels nearby, so he pulled him over to join in. He is Qi Yu's master." Wang Qi sat at the front and said calmly.
"Qi Yu told me about you, and Tu County is all thanks to you and Ye Jianxian." Yu Feng nodded lightly.
Wang Qi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. Yu Feng was wearing black clothes. The smell of blood on his body was extremely strong. There were even wet blood stains on the bottom of his boots.
Noticing Wang Qi's gaze, Yu Feng explained: "I came all the way after receiving the news. The smell of blood is strong on my body. Don't worry about it. Of course, neither do you."
Others either remained silent or laughed and said it didn't matter.
"Qi Yu told me about you. He originally wanted to follow you back to Dingjing, but you and Ye Jianxian took the first step. He had some unfinished matters in Tai County, so he had to give up. He said that he would ask you to come to Dingjing next time.
Let’s drink in Beijing.” Yu Feng said calmly.
"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for passing the message on your behalf. General Qi is a great hero. I can have a drink with him, so naturally I won't refuse." Wang Qi nodded and said.
Wang Qi clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone, let's talk politely. Let's talk about business later."
Everyone looked solemn and slowly raised their heads to look at Wang Qi.
Wang Qi didn't know what was going on, so he kept his mouth shut and settled down to be a bystander.
"In the court, officials from different backgrounds have been quarreling with each other recently. They are all important seniors, so Your Majesty asked me to ask you for some explanations." Wang Qi said lightly.
"I had expected it, but I didn't expect that snake and sparrow hunters would come." The sword cultivator said coldly.
"I'm just making a start. Special officials from Great Qin will be responsible for recording matters." Wang Qi's expression remained unchanged as he pointed to a figure standing in the corner.
Wang Qi turned to look at the person hiding in the shadow. He couldn't tell the reason. He only knew that the other person was strong, and then turned his head back.
"Regarding this dispute, I represent Snake Catcher, so I want to argue with you all." Wang Qi said indifferently.
"If I let you, Mr. Wang Qi, come here, it would be better to let you swing your fists at us unscrupulously. That would be more reliable." The sword cultivator sneered.
Wang Qi ignored it and continued: "Since I am responsible for sending the people from the Huanfang Sword Field to Dingjing, at least to a place where there is someone to help them, I invite you to come to Yuanjiang Town. Sorry for the trouble."
"Wang Qi, do you know what we are going to say?" The thin scholar suddenly spoke and asked Wang Qi.
Wang Qi shook his head, he knew nothing.
"As for the governance of the country, since His Majesty came to the throne, the military has always been stronger than the officials. In many matters, the military has great power, but the civilian officials above the imperial court have very little power and are limited in what they can do.
Therefore, there is this dispute between civil and military affairs. To govern a country, should we rely on military force or literature?" the thin scholar said calmly.
"Shen Lu, please delegate your authority to the officials." A thin man named Shen Lu said loudly.
After Shen Lu spoke, Xie Ming said: "Xie Ming, please reduce the proportion of power of the military position so that the civilian officials can have more places to display their fists and kicks!"
The sword cultivator said: "Jiange Zhaoqi, please ask your majesty to order the Qi practitioners on the mountain and down the mountain to be transcendent."
"Explain your reasons." The figure in the shadow said coldly.
Wang Qi rubbed his eyebrows. What did Wang Qi ask him to do for this kind of thing? To govern the country? He was a fool, so he simply let his thoughts go and started to wander.
"The military has too much power. Local officials have to manage the local area far better than you in the military! You in the military don't know how to govern the country! Often local officials work hard to run the country under limited local power. When your troops are stationed,
Changing the regulations will make the hard work of many officials go to waste!"
Xie Ming suddenly got up and shouted, waking up Wang Qi who had been in a trance.
"The situation is turbulent. At this moment, we should not weaken the power of the military office. On the contrary, the power of the military office should be more concentrated so that we can respond faster and more quickly." Yu Feng squinted his eyes and said coldly, "But still
With you Zhao Qi, do you want to have a transcendent status as a Qi practitioner?"
"How many generations did it take for Da Qin to create a structure that makes Da Qin stand out from other dynasties and makes Qi practitioners have to bow their eyebrows obediently? If you just want to be transcendent, can you really become detached? Qi practitioners are all a group of people who are dedicated to the Tao.
Taoist priests? Not necessarily? How many evil cultivators try to fulfill their selfish desires through heretical ways, how rare is this?"
Yu Feng patted the table in front of him and angrily said, "You want to delegate power to the officials? Now that the power is given, in this troubled world, how many of you officials will be able to run the country with all your heart and soul?"
"Officials will make mistakes, but if they make mistakes, someone can correct them. Your Majesty has the power to monopolize the power. If mistakes are made, who can correct them?"
Troubled times!”
"It doesn't matter if your fists are strong enough for you warriors. Can you guarantee that every punch will land on the ground? Not enough force? A lot of force? Although civilians may not have enough force, their control of strength will definitely surpass you warriors! Your fists
, you should listen to our opinions carefully, how to deal with it, how to deal with it."
Wang Qi was shocked. Xie Ming was actually so brave. When Yu Feng was covered in the smell of blood, he still dared to say that the warrior's head was not working well?
Wang Qi is also a martial artist. When she heard Xie Ming's words, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "The fists on the mountain and below can only be determined by Your Majesty. Your Majesty has never allowed you scholars to master your fists, so you should just turn over the books honestly. In
What’s the insinuation here?”
Shen Lu said: "So, I have to ask Your Majesty to delegate power to hundreds of officials. At present, rebels are constantly pouring out from everywhere, ancient seals are appearing, and all kinds of monsters are appearing. Your Majesty's brain power will eventually be exhausted."
.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt a chill.
Wang Qi secretly turned his head and looked at the man in the shadow. The chill spread from there.
"Delegating power to hundreds of officials, a matter originally only needs to go through His Majesty. After delegating power, it has to go through hundreds of officials, so won't the matter be delayed?" The chill dissipated, and words floated out from the shadows, "Your Majesty wants to ask you about this matter.
idea."
Shen Lu said loudly: "The sage has a saying that knowledge and action are unified. Only by trying it can we draw the rules. Everything can only start by trying it. Your Majesty's question, I don't have any good ideas.
But we can discover and use appropriate methods during practice."
Yu Feng sneered: "Let's give it a try. How much does trial and error cost? How much time does it take? How much knowledge and time do we have in Da Qin to do trial and error?"
"Okay, that's the end of the debate about whether to govern the country with civilian officials or to use force to control the country."
The man in the shadow said lightly, and then his figure, which was originally unclear, became even more blurry, and finally he left this place without knowing how.
"This, this is the end?" Wang Qi was slightly stunned. Didn't he not argue for a definite answer? Why did it end here?
"If you keep arguing, you don't know when it will end. After all parties have explained their opinions and others have questioned it, the rest is to pick and choose from the opinions of all parties." Yu Feng said with a smile.
Wang Qi looked at Yu Feng and sighed softly. He glanced at Xie Ming secretly. Who just insinuated that Wu Ren was brainless? The Master Yu who just slapped the table with his hands was making a lot of noise.
Xie Ming glanced at Wang Qi coldly, then stood up: "It's time for this to happen, and it's time for me to go back. But Wang Qi, you should think carefully about what I told you."
Looking at Xie Ming leaving, Wang Qi shook his head.
"What did that common man say to you?" Yu Feng asked, and with the sound of common man, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Xie Ming's insinuation just now.
"It's nothing, just some warnings about cultivating one's mind." Wang Qi replied in an evasive manner.
"That guy really has two skills when it comes to cultivating his mind." Yu Feng said sourly.
Shen Lu stood up, said goodbye and left.
Wang Qi looked at the Jiange monks and asked coldly: "Is there anything else?"
"Since you have already served in the imperial court, you want to be single-minded, want power, but also want to be aloof? What Zhao Daoyou thinks is too beautiful." Yu Feng said coldly.
"There is a huge difference between cultivators and mortals in the world. When troubled times come, if you want cultivators to help mortals without giving them more, how can they be willing?" Zhao Qi said lightly.
"You said this too late. You should have said it before they left." Wang Qi sneered.
Zhao Qi shook his head: "Your Majesty is such a talented person, he can naturally think of this." After saying that, he looked at Wang Qi.
"My little friend is Xu Jianxian's disciple? I have long admired his name."
Wang Qi nodded lightly: "I have met Senior Zhao."
"You just admitted it so carelessly, aren't you afraid that Zhao Qi has a grudge against Xu Qiang and will attack you?" Wang Qi sneered.
"Seven adults are joking. Jiyundi has learned from his mistakes, how dare we have any strange thoughts?" Zhao Qi said lightly, and then turned into a sword and left.
"Flying with a sword is really cool." Yu Feng watched Zhao Qi leave and couldn't help but said sourly.
"Yang Qing dropped his sword on Jiyun with his front foot. Before he could be held accountable, Ye He dropped his sword with his back foot again. Jiyun was miserable." Wang Qi sneered, then looked at Wang Qi and said lightly, "The Jiange disciples I met on the road
, be careful, lest I fail to remind you later."
"You really have a grudge?" Wang Qi was stunned. He thought it was just a polite comment.
"Nonsense, your Huanfang Sword Field and the Sword Pavilion are fighting for their paths. They are both on the same path of swords. If someone wants to climb higher, they will inevitably be squeezed down." Yu Feng chuckled.
