"After the Qin and Han dynasties, it was said that it was better to do less corvee and less tax, and do nothing in state affairs. The early death of the Qin and Sui Dynasties can serve as a lesson for the future. However, if you look at the country of Daqian, there is a lot of construction everywhere. But if you look at the people in the east, there are hardships. Unwillingness?"
When it comes to this matter, 'Wen Wei' is also quite confused.
"It's strange to say that in the past few years, major road construction and city renovations have been carried out everywhere in the Daqian Kingdom. They don't care about the people's strength, and the Qian Kingdom is the most important. But the people don't think it is suffering, but find it happy. Except for those vassal cities, all The places directly under the jurisdiction are prosperous and prosperous."
Then he pondered: "I think about it carefully, it should be related to the abolition of corvee in Daqian. All projects are to recruit young men and women with heavy sums of money. But in the court of Daqian, the high-ranking officials are afraid that the money in the treasury will be used. Not going out. It’s just the economics of it, I haven’t figured it out yet.”
"Those businessmen have a saying, money makes money."
The 'Yangming' nodded and said: "Shouren also didn't understand the details. He only roughly guessed that it was related to the circulation of money and spirit stones. That's why I invited Brother Nie to come to this big job together. Let's take a walk. Take a look."
"But the way that sect practices is clearly contrary to the teachings of the saint!"
The young man frowned: "Just like the abolition of the imperial examination and the Senate Hall, is it the behavior of a wise king to treat scholars so harshly?"
Then the third blow of the knife fell on the young man's head.
"Zong Xi, what the sages say may not be right. Master has said that if three people walk together, there must be a teacher. Even sages have things they don't know and make mistakes. Times have changed, and the principles of ancient times may not be suitable for today. . You can’t just criticize and exclude people because you don’t understand or feel disgusted. The establishment of the Council Hall and the election of officials by the people are not treating us and other scholars favorably. In the ten thousand years of Confucianism, many people have pursued the rule of the Three Dynasties and restored the ancient Zhou rites. In fact, There are also many people who know the harm of strong monarchy and seek to restrict it. They cannot 'control the world without controlling anything'. So there is the theory of Dong Sheng's influence between heaven and man. But treating the symptoms cannot cure the root cause - "
"The affairs of the world should be shared with the world, and should not be private to the master. This is to regard the world as the world, and not to regard oneself as the world, although it will not be easy for all generations."
"Since the king of Daqian has limited his power and included himself within the rituals and laws, it can be said that he has fulfilled the wish of countless predecessors in our Confucian school. However, since the king has limited his authority, what method can he use to control his ministers?"
A few words made 'Wen Wei' fall into deep thought. Even the young man, who was stroking his head with his hands and looking dissatisfied, remained silent.
At the same time, on the second floor of Jinyu Building, there was a different scene. A few middle-aged people dressed as scribes were chatting, laughing and full of joy.
"So, Your Majesty is already preparing to surprise Jiuchi Palace?"
"Exactly! Capture the thief and capture the king. This time the three religions worked together to move the 800,000-strong army thousands of miles away. They also sealed off the outer territory together. Even the sect guard couldn't escape."
"If the king is not secretive, his ministers will be lost. If the ministers are not secretive, they will be corrupted. So you are not afraid that the news will be exposed? Did you make that faint king feel on guard?"
"It doesn't matter, this was two hours ago. We only found out after the Three Religions and King Master had already taken action. Maybe by this time, the winner has been decided at Jiuchi Palace."
"Oh, the name of Yueshenyuan is really appropriate!"
"Congratulations to Brother Yu. This time he instigated the closure of all the academies in Yunlu in the east, and caused many Confucian scholars in the east to resign from the Daqian Dynasty. With such achievements, one can become a minister in the court, and one will be famous in the opposition. . With Brother Yu’s 20 years of experience in running Linhai Academy, it is almost a sure thing to get into Bailudong Academy.”
"Exactly, among the teachings of Bailudong Academy, which one is not a famous scholar in the world, and which one is not famous in history?"
The first one among them had a face full of red light. He waved his hands slightly and said: "This is still something that cannot be determined, so what is the use of talking about it? But if that day comes, Yu Ting will definitely not forget you. Donglin is included The kingdom must rely on local scholars. Yu Ting will definitely fight for it in front of all the sages!"
Then he smiled and said to another middle-aged man in the corner: "Besides, how can my future be compared with that of Brother Wang Wei? I am favored by the big boss of the dynasty, and I will rise to great heights in the future and take charge of a province. No problem."
Wang Wei smiled to himself and held the cup in silence, while everyone around him congratulated him again. There was also a hint of emotion in his words.
"It's a pity that we finally have a place to stand out. Under the rule of that faint king, we really live like dogs."
"Fortunately, Zhu Zi was wise enough to designate him as an enemy of Confucianism and instigated Wang Shi to attack him. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened in the future."
"This foolish king deserves to die. Who among the former kings and city lords of Daqian does not respect and respect us? You deserve to be defeated today!"
As they were talking, everyone's hearts moved slightly and they all looked outside the building. I saw a vast golden light flying over from the distant horizon.
It comes from the west, the direction of Central Yunlu, and falls in the direction of Qiantian Mountain City.
"Is this the Rubu Gold Talisman?"
All the scholars present looked at the shining golden talisman with slightly stunned expressions.
Lubu gold talisman is also one of the signaling talismans. However, the information inside is not encrypted and hidden. Any monk who sees it can detect it with his spiritual mind.
In the ancient dynasties, whenever there was a great victory or happy event, they would use this talisman to announce the victory to the world and let their subjects know about it.
"Does that foolish king still want to play Lubu Feijie's trick?"
With a joking tone, one of them laughed out loud. But the expressions of the people around him gradually became colder.
Several spiritual thoughts went to higher places one after another, and their spiritual thoughts touched this Lubu gold talisman. When the spiritual thoughts were sensed, everyone's bodies were slightly shaken and their faces turned pale.
"The monarch personally commanded the royal army and defeated the 800,000-strong Shang army in the Yuan Shen Yuan! Killed the enemy Zhengnan General Fei Yin, and captured twenty Youqi who were above the fourth grade. More than 200,000 soldiers surrendered, and all soldiers were captured. Forget it. It’s a pity that the Emperor of Shang escaped alone - what are you kidding me about?"
Yu Ting's body swayed, he put his hand on his forehead, and almost fainted on the spot.
Is that possible? Didn't it mean that even though there were heavy troops in the Jiuchi Palace, the Three Religions and the King's Master were sure of victory
Even if Zong Shou escapes by chance, he will still be able to obtain a large amount of food and grass to support the war in southern Xinjiang.
Why was it defeated again and the entire army was wiped out
So, all the more than 400,000 Dao soldiers are gone
wrong! How powerful are the Dao Sect's Purple Linyan Lancer, the Demon Sect's Heavenly Demon War Cavalry and the Yuanshi Demonic Spirit Cavalry
Even if you lose, you can still escape. It must be the sect that keeps false reports of success in order to calm people's hearts.
"This must be a way for the Sect to falsely report its achievements and calm the hearts of Donglin! This foolish king, when his death is imminent, he still dares to play this trick -"
Before Yu Ting said anything, Wang Wei, who had already gritted his teeth, said this on his behalf.
"The Great Shang has 800,000 elite soldiers and 400,000 Taoist soldiers, which can defeat four million enemies. How can he swallow them up if he wants to?"
"Exactly this! The things mentioned in this victory report are too exaggerated!"
Everyone looked at each other, laughed and shook their heads. However, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before.
And just a moment later, a roar was heard outside the building, and cheers were heard everywhere.
Several people present were quite accomplished, and they could still hear it even though they were tens of feet away.
"I Da Gan won! I really won! All the elite merchants were wiped out. Only 10,000 demon cavalry escaped, and the 800,000 army was almost completely wiped out."
"Your Majesty, he built the Wine Pool Palace not for pleasure, but to lure the enemy. This time, he almost killed all the Daoist soldiers in one fell swoop!"
"I'm telling you, Your Majesty, it's impossible to be so confused."
"Is it true or false? From what I read in the Lu Bu document, it's hard to tell the truth from the false. It's a bit mysterious."
"This is the news that spread among the Duke of Zhen. After hearing this, the Duke immediately burst into laughter. He took ten jars of fine wine, invited relatives and friends, and prepared to get drunk!"
"The news from Duke Hao's palace also said this. I have won a great victory and have entered the Central Plains!"
"After today, I, Da Qian, will be respected in the Yun Realm!"
"The news I got here comes from the martial arts hall of the Hanshan Gate of the Sword Sect. It is said that the dojos of the various sects of the Sword Sect in the city have posted notices that they will open the gates to recruit disciples!"
"The Cangsheng Dao Academy is also preparing to expand its student intake—"
As each sentence reached everyone's ears, the atmosphere in this elegant room became more and more solemn.
If only Na Da Gan was the only one to spread the word. It's nothing more than a one-man show. But coupled with Jian Zong and Cangsheng Dao -
Looking at each other, several Confucian scholars only saw their opponent, whose face was green and white, with a hint of fear, and their hearts were filled with panic.
Could it be that the good news is really not possible
"It's not just that! I heard that when you defeat the enemy, you will be accompanied by a fire unicorn, soaring to the sky, with dragons and phoenixes singing together."
"A unicorn accompanying you? A dragon and a phoenix singing together? It seems that only the three ancient emperors in the legend have—"
"The teachers from Cangsheng College have also said that this is the image of a holy king! You are the real living holy king if you take over him!"
After hearing this, Yu Ting's expression softened. He shook his head: "It's ridiculous! What Qilin, Saint King? Even if you have to fake it, you don't have to be so exaggerated."
But he saw a person in the seat holding a paper crane that had flown out from nowhere. His complexion was suddenly green and white, and there was even bloodshot eyes overflowing from the corners of his lips.
Yu Ting raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised: "Brother Li, why is this so?"
The prince surnamed Li raised his head and glanced at everyone present with ashen eyes.
"It's a talisman sent by my master. He participated in the forbidden air formation, so he witnessed that battle with his own eyes. It is said that the Taoist soldiers of the three religions no longer exist. The army of Great Shang, the whole army Destruction! Your Majesty, he is accompanied by a unicorn, possesses the white energy of a holy king, and is blessed by heaven and earth. Not only is he not a faint king, nor is he an enemy of Confucianism, but he is a living holy king! Zhu Zi made a big mistake this time and is a sinner of our Confucian sect. —”
The heart almost stopped beating, and several people in the room were almost petrified.
"Shut up, you dare to slander the saint—"
This sentence stuck in Yu Ting's throat, but he couldn't say it out.
The teacher in front of me is just a slightly famous Confucian scholar in the Confucian sect. What happened that gave him the courage to question the ancient saints? (To be continued
