Chapter 586 Before leaving to explain, flattery is like a tide!
"I will take my junior brother to the gate of this Dao Mountain. Please accept my junior brother as the closed disciple!" The Taoist Qingping said to Wang Lei with his hand in his hand.
"Haha, Senior Brother Qingping, I also serve as the county lord of the three counties near Rouhuai County. And my parents are still there, so I always have to ask for instructions." Wang Lei said, and as he said, he pulled Qingping's arm in no trace. Just kidding, Wang Lei had not been held by a man before his arm, which felt so strange...
"Junior brother, what do you care about? If you become a true disciple of Tianqiongdao, you don't have to be a small county lord. As for parents, it's better to not look at them. Taoists leave the Three Realms and only have the great way in their hearts. Ordinary parents and relatives don't have to pay too much attention. Moreover, I think the junior brother is not very valued. Otherwise, how could a son of a dignified country only get the fiefs of three counties?"
The Qingming Taoist shook the jade whisk in his hand and said to Wang Lei.
When Wang Lei heard this, he couldn't help but look at the Qingming Taoist. This man was about thirty years old and quite fairy-like, but his eyesight was quite good. A few words showed Wang Lei's status in Lu Ju Kingdom.
However, as he said, the king of the Viscount Kingdom is indeed not in the eyes of Tian Qiongdao. At best, he is just a larger and higher ants.
After hearing this, Wang Lei did not express it and bowed to the three Taoists and said, "I know the ideas of the three senior brothers, but I also tolerate my difficulties. As the county lord of Rouhuai County, although my official position is small, I have to manage the local government clearly in my position. I have no habit of leaving and always make a proper arrangement for the people who follow me. In addition, no matter how my parents treat me, as a son, I always have to explain to my parents. Although Confucianism and Taoism are declining, some truths are still right. My parents are here and I will not travel far... Although I must leave once this time, I still have to meet my parents and be filial to me. It is reasonable to have a good understanding of my parents."
After hearing Wang Lei's words, Qingping stroked his beard and nodded. Among the three Taoists, he was the highest in cultivation. He was also the oldest. After hearing Wang Lei's words, he felt it was reasonable and said, "That's fine, but what my junior brother said is also true. Anyway, this time I came out. It was also a vacation for the deputy master Taoist to come for us. Just go back within a month to hand in the office. You can handle the matter in your hand before going back and going back with us... However, it's safe for me to finish it as soon as possible."
"It won't be too long. The three senior brothers will live in Rouhuai County today. I will do my best to be a landlord. I can handle the three senior brothers, Rouhuai's government affairs in one day. The main thing is to give some explanations to some people who follow me." Wang Lei said to the three Taoists.
"In this way, my junior brother will go and handle government affairs. We will wait for three of you, just wait a moment." Taoist Qingping said to Wang Lei.
Wang Lei nodded. Of course, he couldn't let these three old men be left here. He found a housekeeper and asked him to prepare various programs. He went to the hall ahead and prepared to explain government affairs.
In the front hall, Wang Lei talked about what happened to him. When the staff below heard this, they were mostly happy and shouted "Congratulations to Mr. Xi"!
These people are basically local bureaucrats, and they are actually very reluctant to participate in the struggle between the two princes of the king for the throne. However, Mr. Chu Ying has already arrived in Rouhuai County. They are not the prince faction, and have also been marked as the prince faction. If Wang Lei fails to do anything in the future, they will also be implicated. The poor management is the lightest, and even if it is serious, it may not be impossible to behead him.
But at this time, Wang Lei was suddenly led by Tianqiongdao. It is estimated that he would at least become a true disciple. No matter how Wang Lei did, he would not die from the political crushing of Lu Juguo. If he achieves success in the future, the king may be able to get it. At least no matter who is in power, Wang Lei, as a true disciple of Tianqiongdao, will have to give him such a face, so he will not be able to kill these people. With some operations, it would be even better to stay in Rouhuai County and continue to be a free-spirited official. Rouhuai County was run by Wang Lei and was already quite rich. In a few years, he may not be able to be more prosperous than the capital!
However, when these fence-skinned officials were out, the rest were a little worried about gains and losses.
Xue Li is an example. On the one hand, he also followed Wang Lei's idea of successfully practicing Taoism. At that time, if Wang Lei becomes the true disciple of Tianqiongdao, or follows further, becomes the elder of Tianqiongdao, it will be much easier to suppress the king of a country and seize the position of the king.
However, on the other hand, they were afraid that Wang Lei would leave. There was no such example in ancient times. A country's king was obsessed with practicing Taoism, and even the vassal states didn't want it. In that case, their Xue family would suffer. The new king would not make his family live a better life. Perhaps this generation would end.
Wang Lei sat in the main seat, watching the performance of these staff officials, and was free to worry. He first comforted him a few words, then explained the government affairs, and let the local officials who were not dependent on him leave first.
The rest of the people are those who are close to Wang Lei.
"Young Master, you can't leave. If you leave, we will become rootless duckweed, a big tree without roots, and a child without mother, so we can be bullied!"
As soon as those irrelevant people left, Xue Li held a mournful slap in the face, knelt in front of Wang Lei and said, "That look really like a child without a mother, how pitiful it is."
"Get up, look at your stupid look, it's not mourning. Are you cursing me?" Wang Lei couldn't help but laugh and scolded when he saw Xue Li.
"Uh... you're always Gao Sheng, not that..." Xue Li heard this, touched his big face with his big hand, wiped it with tears, and threw it beside him. This guy's face was definitely thick-skinned, and his face was as fast as a Sichuan opera level. After wiping this hand, he had already returned to normal. He knelt on the ground and asked Wang Lei: "Young Master, you're leaving, what should we do with this group of people?"
"Don't worry, I'm not the one who left me alone." Wang Lei said, and then said, "Although I have always been treating everyone equally, I have relatives and distant people. What I have left now are people who are closer to me. Naturally, I will not leave me alone. I will definitely give you an explanation."
After hearing Wang Lei's words, the officials who left behind couldn't help but slam forward in unison and knelt on the ground and shouted in pain: "Young Master is kind!"
"All up, I won't say it's so empty. When I reach this point, I will say something more realistic." Wang Lei said, and then said, "This time I went to Tianqiong Dao to practice Taoism, which is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. It is a step for me. I heard that becoming a true disciple must have to practice for three years. Within these three years, I may not be able to return to the country, but you all, three years later, when I return from Tianqiong Dao Mountain Gate, it is the time when Lu Ju Kingdom's country's tripod is easy!"
"ah!"
After hearing Wang Lei’s words so bluntly, the bureaucrats who have always felt that Wang Lei’s speech was tactful and stunned at the same time!
However, after hearing this, the general Xue Li of the mansion suddenly turned red with excitement, and he was breathing heavily in his nose. He shouted: "Young Master, wise! We swear to be loyal to the young master!"
Seeing someone taking the lead, these aides and bureaucrats couldn't help but shout: "We swear to be loyal to the young master!"
"You don't have to express your sincerity. If you keep shouting like this, I guess in two days, the one in the capital will think that I will raise an army to attack the king of the capital." Wang Lei waved his hand and said. He himself didn't believe that the one in the capital did not have a detailed support in his young master's mansion.
"I'll give you a task. This task is simple and difficult, but no matter what, you must do it for me."
Wang Lei took a sip of tea and said to the followers below.
"Please speak with your words! I dare not accept orders!" Xue Li said again, taking the lead.
The officials below expressed their determination and loyalty again. Wang Lei nodded and said, "The task I give you is that within these three years, no matter what the domestic situation is, you must survive and live well, and try to find talents for me."
"Save life? Is it that simple?" After hearing Wang Lei's words, Xue Li couldn't help but be stunned and said to Wang Lei.
"Don't underestimate this task... My father is seriously ill, I'm afraid he can't last this year. I'm going to Tianqiongdao again. In Lu Ju Kingdom, my brother must be the king of the country. After he takes office, he will definitely suppress you who have followed me... However, after all, I am not dead, but become Tianqiongdao's true disciple. He dare not suppress my people on the surface, but secretly... In short, the next three years will be three years that you will be very sad."
"In the past three years, you can surrender to my brother and do something, but remember, don't betray your companions here now. Three years later, when I come back from the mountain gate of Tianqiongdao, it is time for you to stand up in another posture...the attitude of a winner."
"I can guarantee that those who follow me must have a bright future... You are all pillars of the country in the future." Wang Lei smiled slightly, looked at the followers below, and said.
If this kind of rhetoric is placed in reality in ancient Earth, only a few fools may believe that a second young master with no foundation and no status can succeed in fighting for the throne, but this is not the earth!
This is the Hengtian Continent with extremely powerful strength in the Taoist sect! Wang Lei is going to join the Tianqiong Dao among the twelve authentic Taoist dynasties!
This is enough to give them confidence and comfort... but I don't know if they have the courage and enough confidence to survive these three years.
These three years are definitely similar to hell... and if you survive, you will be heaven!
"Swear to be loyal to the young master!" Xue Li bowed to Wang Lei with a tragic look on his face!
The current Xue family is half the old leader of the family clan, but only controls the family economic development. The rest of the major events are actually on this big man who looks like a living treasure!
Although Xue Li seems quite unreliable, in fact, he is responsible for the future development of the entire family. At this time, what he said is not only for him, but for the entire Xue family behind him. They stand on Wang Lei without hesitation and press all the treasures on Wang Lei.
"Haha, okay, there is no need to be so tragic... I just live a miserable life. Three years are short, but they are really not long." Wang Lei smiled and said to Xue Li.
"Young Master, am I excited... That's it, Young Master, I heard that once a Taoist goes into seclusion, it will last for three or five years, ten or eight years, even for thirty or fifty years, it is normal. Don't forget us once you go into seclusion!" After Xue Li made a statement, he returned to his usual appearance, and said to Wang Lei with a look of fear.
"Haha, it's not that." Wang Lei said. Then he said, "You guys go down and clean up. I'll let you attend the welcoming dinner to welcome the three Dao brothers. It's also for you to get to know each other. I think Hong Kan Daozheng will come, and you will get to know each other."
"Yes, young master!" After hearing this, these subordinates said goodbye one after another and went to prepare.
"Xue Li." Wang Lei stopped Xue Li when he saw him walking at the end.
"Young Master. The last general is here!" Xue Li turned around, bowed and looked at Wang Lei, but he didn't know what Wang Lei was going to say.
"I will introduce you to three Dao brothers later, as well as Hong Kan Daozheng. If you really can't stand it, go to the Dao Palace to find help. Maybe you can save your life at a critical moment, but this kind of relationship is indispensable. You have to be careful." Wang Lei said to Xue Li.
As soon as Wang Lei finished speaking, he saw that Xue Li had tears in his eyes, not like a man, but he seemed to be a wronged puppy.
"Young Master! You are the best to me, I know... Xue Li knows!" Xue Li said to Wang Lei while touching tears.
"Go and go, just arrange it for you, you will be so disgusting..." Wang Lei felt numb all over. Xue Li was grateful and admired. Why did he even confess his love, which made him get goose bumps on his back.
"Young Master, am I excited?" Xue Li said with tears in his eyes. Wang Lei drank: "Go and go, hurry up and change your clothes and attend the dinner."
"Yes! The last general will take the order!" Xue Li said, but while walking, she wiped her tears. After walking out of the main hall, Wang Lei could still hear Xue Li crying loudly outside.
"This person... is really a living treasure." Wang Lei bounced his forehead with a headache, and he went down to prepare to go.
After about an hour, it was still in the main hall, and the usual congress hall was singing and dancing to peace.
In the congress hall, a group of dancers were dancing, but this dance also had some heroic spirit, but it was more reserved and obscure than the primitive dance that Wang Lei saw in the barrier of life, and was less intense.
Wang Lei sat in the upper head. Beside him was the seat of the three Taoists. Then, it was the seat of the Red Kan of Rouhuai Dao. However, the three true disciples of Tianqiong Dao did not look at Hong Kan at the corner of their eyes, but just talked and drank on their own. Hong Kan also knew that he was nothing in the eyes of these people. He was happy and did not interrupt. Occasionally, Wang Lei would say a few words to Hong Kan to liven up the atmosphere and not neglect him even more.
The other officials from Rouhuai County stepped forward one after another and said various toasts. In this officialdom, whether it is a large official or a small official, a good official or a bad official, a capable official or a fool, or a corrupt official, there are two things that are required, namely flattery and a wine remark. The officials and staff of Rouhuai County stepped forward one after another, saying that they were full of splendor but they did not have the same meaning, which really showed their profound skills.
At Wang Lei's warning, these officials were stuffed with one. They might not be able to fight for the throne, but flattery is the only one. The flattery is like a tide. Wang Lei's meaning is very obvious. These are all masters who can't get drunk and can't get drunk with them. They flatter them with flattery!
For a moment, flattery...
The three Taoists in the first seat also expressed differently after hearing these flatteries.
The youngest one here should be Qingfeng. However, he was in his twenties and had been concentrating on practicing Taoism for a while. He didn't experience much in this kind of occasion. At this time, he was sitting at the top and being hit by the gust of flattery was red. He always felt that he didn't seem as good as they said, but when he really thought about it, it was really a bit like that. He was intoxicated or angry, and he sat here with a red face. His heart of Tao was not too strong. He kept scratching his ears and foreheads, and could only hide his embarrassment by drinking.
The Taoist Qingming looked disdainful, as if he was high above, as if he was a clear stream, disdaining this kind of flattery, but the flattery below was still endless. He seemed to snorted coldly, but after careful identification, he could find that those straightforward and explicit flattery, he snorted coldly, some flattery was gentle and elegant, without any trace, and had some literary standards. The cold snorting of the Taoist Qingming was not so harsh, and perhaps even gentler. Sometimes the "Huh?" raised the pitch and didn't seem to hear the allusion in the flattery. It seemed that those who flattered were smart, just explain that the "Hmm..." hummed into a lower pitch, as if they were appreciating flattery, and there was also praise in the cold snorting.
The Taoist Qingping sat firmly on Diaoyutai, his eyes seemed to sleep but not to sleep, but the sounds of flattery were heard. He saw his red face, but there was no trace. From time to time, he cleverly pointed out some shortcomings of flattery and the subtleties of some flattery, so that the officials below, after listening to his comments, felt as if they were prompted by the master of Taoism, and felt enlightened. These soft officials soon realized that the Taoist Qingping was the master of the group of flattery!
