Chapter 123 Speculation about Xu Fu
The location of the meeting was still chosen in the hidden underground alchemy room, not in the ordinary reception room, which shows that Ying Zheng and Xu Fu did not want this meeting to be known to too many people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yo, Zhong Yu, you're here......" Seeing Qin Zhongyu coming over, Ying Zheng also said happily, "How are you practicing?"
"Barely strong...... I still have to practice more......" Thinking that he still lost to Jing Ke, Qin Zhongyu said with some embarrassment.
"The master's progress ......is very fast," Chu Zilan, who came in with him, added, "It's only been a dozen days, and the master has been able to live with Lord Jing Ke in dozens of moves......
Because even if she handed over her body to Jing Ke's control, Chu Zilan could still feel everything that was happening around her, so Chu Zilan also understood the competition process between Qin Zhongyu and Jing Ke as if she had experienced it herself.
"Oh, that's still good......" After asking Qin Zhongyu about his training, Ying Zheng said again, "It seems that I have to thank Jing Ke this time......
At this time, Xu Fu, who was already standing beside Ying Zheng, said: "Your Majesty, since everyone has arrived, our meeting will start now, right?"
"Hmm......" Ying Zheng nodded, "I'll explain it to you later......"
"Okay, Your Majesty......" Xu Fu immediately agreed.
Then Ying Zheng said: "The main thing I came to discuss with you this time is how to deal with the next possible situation, just now I discussed it with Xu Fu, and found that Wang Mang may be more dangerous than we imagined, so we must not take it lightly...... As for the specifics, let Xu Fu explain it in detail......"
"Obey the order, then the minister will talk about what the minister has seen for more than 2,000 years......"
Then, Xu Fu began to clear his throat and began to speak.
"We already know that Wang Mang once established a new dynasty to divide the Han Dynasty into two, which not only cut off the Han Dynasty's continuous national fortunes, but also took the opportunity to seal the fact that the jade seal of the country was handed down...... But according to the minister's observations over the years, what Wang Mang and his comrades have done in the past two thousand years is much more than that......
"Fellow party?" Chu Zilan asked with some curiosity, "You mean that Wang Mang is more than one person?"
"Well, according to my observations, Wang Mang probably has more than one comrade...... Or at least there should be two ......," Xu Fu explained to Chu Zilan.
Qin Zhongyu also said: "I seem to have heard him say it...... He said that his job was to maintain the balance of the world and prevent the emergence of too powerful forces...... Since it's work, it is estimated that it should have been done more than once, and ...... Maybe he has a superior who assigns work for him?"
"That's right, I think so too...... Xu Fu said, "Wang Mang treats what he does as a job, he has his own set of values, or rather, Wang Mang and his comrades have the same purpose, as long as they think it will upset the balance of the world, they will find ways to weaken it...... This is what the minister has seen for more than 2,000 years......"
Xu Fu continued: "According to my observations, in addition to blocking the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty and sealing the jade seal, it is basically certain that Wang Mang's forces have intervened in the following historical events......
"The Yellow Turban Army rebelled at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty...... Legend has it that the "Taiping Qing Lingshu" given to Zhang Jiao by the immortal Yu Ji can cure all diseases, which is actually a masterpiece left by Wang Mang in the identity of Yu Ji...... Later, the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army became the fuse for the final fall of the Han Dynasty, and it can be said that this was the easiest time for Wang Mang......"
"After the end of the Tang Dynasty...... In the Anshi Rebellion, An Lushan's army was able to break through in the early days of the war, and it was also with the help of Wang Mang...... It's just that this process should not have been completed by Wang Mang alone...... It was also at this time that the minister realized that there were other people in Wang Mang's forces......"
"Why didn't Wang Mang do this alone?" Qin Zhongyu asked.
"We all know that a big reason why An Lushan can be trusted by Tang Xuanzong is because Yang Guifei likes An Lushan very much. It is said that An Lushan asked to be the adopted son of Yang Guifei at that time...... After currying favor with Yang Guifei, An Lushan gained Tang Xuanzong's trust even more! Another point is that after getting Yang Guifei, Tang Xuanzong himself has also undergone great changes, and his infatuation with Yang Guifei has gone beyond common sense, and it is more like being charmed by some kind of spell...... Therefore, the minister believes that Yang Guifei is probably not an ordinary person......"
"Like you've been seduced by a spell?"
Hearing Xu Fu say this, Qin Zhongyu remembered that the rumors about Yang Guifei, one of the four beauties in ancient China, were really unbelievable.
For example, after An Lushan became Yang Guifei's adopted son, every time he entered the palace to see Tang Xuanzong, he first visited Yang Guifei. Later, Tang Xuanzong felt strange, and then asked the reason, and An Lushan replied: "The minister is a Hu person, and the Hu people put their mother in front and their father in the back." Tang Xuanzong was very happy when he heard this.
Now that I think about it, such a thing is really incredible, an emperor can allow others to visit his concubine first, and then come to see him, if it were another emperor, I am afraid that he would have already been annoyed and angry. But this incident really happened, it can be said that if it weren't for Tang Xuanzong's excessive favor for Yang Guifei, it would be hard to imagine that such a thing would happen.
Another thing is even more absurd, according to Sima Guang's "Zizhi Tongjian", Yang Guifei once put An Lushan in the bathtub, and then bathed An Lushan, and after taking a bath, An Lushan was wrapped in silk, and then let the palace maid carry An Lushan around the court.
In this way, the woman he likes actually bathes other men, and Tang Xuanzong is not angry, but just treats it as a joke, which is really incomprehensible.
Could it be that Tang Xuanzong has a bad brain?
Of course not, according to Qin Zhongyu's understanding, Tang Xuanzong was not a low IQ person, he appointed Yao Chong, Song Jing and other virtuous ministers in the early days of the succession, and worked hard to create the most prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, which was called "Kaiyuan Shengshi" by later generations. How could such a person suddenly become like this fool?
I have to say that Yang Guifei's charm is really amazing! It's so amazing that it's really a bit abnormal.
And when things go wrong, there must be demons, Yang Guifei can have such a great charm, I am afraid that she uses something like Wang Mang that ordinary people don't know, beyond the methods that ordinary people know, thinking about it this way, Xu Fu's judgment may be correct - probably it can only be explained by charm.
