Chapter 21: The Open and Honest Rebellion
Zhang Jue looked at the words in the book and couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed. Then he clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Haha! This old Taoist priest can actually have such an expression?"
"You've always been acting cool and mysterious , looking down on everything in the world. You can't even say a few words to me in the Heroic Spirit World. I didn't expect this kind of reaction. It's really funny!"
"Yu Ji, Yu Ji, I really want you to see this scene, to see your expression, to see if you will continue to be stubborn!"
In the world of heroes, Zhang Jiao, who was originally a disciple, still wanted to have a good relationship with his master Yu Ji. However, Yu Ji looked down on him and ignored him as if he had never been a disciple!
Trying to put your warm face in front of a cold butt!
Zhang Jue had always kept this matter in mind, so when he saw this scene, he was naturally very happy.
Zhang Jue stared at the rapidly evolving text in the book and murmured softly, "I was just watching for fun. Now I really hope that he will overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty and achieve the best ending. In that case, the Heroic Spirit Realm will react, and Yu Ji will also sense it."
“I really want to know what he will say then.”
“What kind of expression would that be?”
“I’m really looking forward to it!”
Su Che looked at Yu Ji who had been silent for a long time, and asked with a smile: "The Taoist priest said he had something urgent to see me, I wonder why he came?"
Yu Ji came back to his senses after hearing this. He looked at Su Che with sharp eyes and said word by word:
"Since you are the Great Sage Teacher, I will tell you straight out that I am here to ask you to prepare for your death!"
Prepare for your funeral!
If it were an ordinary person, most of them would be furious and even fight, and some would even turn hostile.
Su Che was not angry at all. He asked calmly, "What do you mean?"
"Your Pingxiang is so prosperous and magnificent, like a country within a country. Don't you know that an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure?" Yu Ji asked calmly.
Su Che frowned and said nothing.
Yu Ji stood up and continued, "Your civil governance in Pingxiang is completely different from that of the outside world. In addition, you set up punishments privately and punish landlords and gentry. What do you think of the king's law? This alone is a crime of treason and an unforgivable crime."
"It's just that no one has exposed it now. Once someone covets the prosperity of this place, disaster will come in an instant!"
"This peaceful township may seem peaceful and harmonious, but in fact it is already in turmoil and in imminent danger."
"Don't you know that you are living in a dangerous building right now?"
Su Che stood up and paced back and forth. After a while, he turned around and asked, "Sir, do you have a solution ?"
Yu Ji shook his head, looking disheartened, and said helplessly: "This world is in ruins, the court is so corrupt, and the upper class is following suit. How can we solve this problem?"
Su Che could tell from what he heard that although Taoist Yu Ji was very talented, he was an idealist, and a pessimistic idealist at that.
He has a lot of talent, but he doesn't think about realizing it. He thinks the world is like this and that he is completely doomed.
Yu Ji’s attitude towards life is probably: “Destroy it, quickly, I’m tired!”
Su Che smiled faintly and said, "Sir, please move to the main hall."
Yu Ji also saw the faint smile on Su Che's lips, and felt a little strange. The situation had become so serious, and he could still laugh?
With doubts, Yu Ji followed Su Che's footsteps to the main hall.
"Sir, please look at what this is?" Su Che asked with a smile, pointing to a framed inscription in the main hall.
Yu Ji looked up and saw the words written on it. He was immediately shocked and read them out in disbelief: "The best township in the world?!"
Su Che asked: " Sir, do you know who wrote this?"
Yu Ji's expression was a bit complicated, with a hint of confusion in his shock. He smiled bitterly and said, "How could I not know this? There is a faint dragon aura embellishing it, and the emperor's personal seal is the seal. It is written by the current emperor himself!"
"How is it?" Su Che turned to look at Yu Ji and asked with a faint smile.
"How... is this done?" Yu Ji was very curious.
In his opinion, Pingxiang was in a precarious situation and was in imminent danger. There was no way out and all that could be done was to find a way to avoid disaster and seek good fortune.
He signed up for an audience just to have a conversation with the Great Sage Master and tell him how powerful he was. After all, they were all idealists on the same path. Yu Ji didn't want to see the Great Sage Master die because of this. That would be too sad.
However, what he didn't expect was that the Great Sage Master had already seen through the crisis and had made a backup plan in advance. The "No. 1 Village in the World" written by the current emperor himself was a talisman!
This calligraphy made the evil spirits who coveted this place feel terrified and they dared not take action directly.
"The inscription of the current emperor is not something that can be obtained easily. How did you do it?" Seeing Su Che pondering, Yu Ji became impatient and asked quickly.
"I have hundreds of beautiful jades to resolve the crisis." Su Che took out a light blue transparent cup and handed it to Yu Ji.
Yu Ji looked at the crystal clear light blue cup in his hand and widened his eyes slightly: "There is such a beautiful jade in the world? It's unbelievable!"
"I offered hundreds of pieces of this beautiful jade in exchange for the eunuch's trust and the emperor's favor, so I wrote this inscription." Su Che said indifferently.
"Although this kind of beautiful jade has a weak spiritual energy and does not have much spirituality, it is so exquisite and still very precious. It is hard to find in the world, and any one piece is priced at a sky-high price. How can you come up with hundreds of pieces at once?" Yu Ji was a little bit unbelievable.
Su Che smiled but said nothing.
It's easy to make glass. You can have as much as you want!
If it were in ordinary ancient times, it might be difficult to burn glass, but in this world of immortals and demons, raising the flame of the furnace to one thousand six hundred degrees is extremely simple. It only takes a little more effort to succeed.
Add some spiritual stones and various ingredients to make the glass look less like glass or crystal... This is the art of counterfeiting.
Scarcity makes things valuable. Before this technology is mastered by others, even hundreds of glass products will still be priced sky-high.
Therefore, Su Che bribed directly, all the way to the eunuchs, and then to the emperor.
Although he failed to obtain the title of "Marquis of Pingxiang", after all, this was the highest rank among the twenty ranks of nobility, so it was normal that he could not obtain it. However, a title of "No. 1 Township in the World" and an insignificant title of county magistrate were enough.
The problem is still the same.
Yu Ji felt that the incident in Pingxiang was a country within a country and an absolute act of treason, so he subconsciously thought that it would be over sooner or later. This was indeed the thinking of an honest Taoist priest.
In fact, Su Che's rebellion is not only aboveboard, but also personally recognized and even highly praised by the emperor!
It doesn't matter how arrogant Su Che's behavior is.
The one in power now is not the emperor, but the eunuchs like the Constant Servants. They are very satisfied with Su Che, a product of Pingxiang.
In addition, if the Pingxiang mine explodes, no one knows how many people will be affected, so countless officials will take the initiative to help protect them!
After the experience of rebellion in the first round, Su Che considered things very carefully and boldly in the second round.
Yu Ji is knowledgeable but too timid, so it is normal for him to make a fuss at this moment.
