Chapter 240: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
King Zhou got up very early and was practicing swords in Panasonic at the moment.
King Zhou is now Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old, a prince, at the peak of the autumn season, but he can consistently maintain the habit of getting up early and going to bed early and practicing sword dancing in the morning.
"Lord, lord, this celandine. The old decay has already figured out a way to eliminate the poison. ”
A white-bearded old man ran over excitedly, and King Zhou quickly put away his sword, greeted him and said, "Oh." Xu Lao came up with a way? ”
That Xu Langzhong couldn't help but say happily: "Yes, yes, Lord Wang, the old man tried to soak it in water with fine soil and boiled celandine to wash it, and finally washed it with water, and found that the poison in it was really filtered out, and the bitterness was gone, so you can eat it with confidence, and you don't have to worry about any consequences." ”
King Zhou was overjoyed, returned the sword into the sheath, and walked with him to the test site, which was a temple. King Zhou believed in Buddhism and built a temple in the palace, which contained statues of five hundred Arhats, four Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. The courtyard at the back was originally the residence of a few incense people in the family temple, and he wanted to study the materia medica, so he arranged these people at the back of the temple, quiet.
As he walked, King Zhou asked, "Have you tried it, are you sure?" ”
The old man said with certainty: "That's natural, if you don't have absolute certainty, how dare you give it to the prince." ”
The method used in Xu Lang is actually the adsorption separation method in the field of modern phytochemistry, but it has not yet become a systematic discipline at that time.
King Zhou laughed and said: "Great, wonderful, this celandine has been wild all over the mountains for a long time, and now there is a solution, once a flood occurs, it can be used as food to relieve the hunger, and quickly record it in the lonely "Materia Medica".
Old man Xu complimented: "The prince compiled this "Materia Medica", which not only benefits all people, but also benefits all generations. The merit is immeasurable, the merit is immeasurable. ”
Tong Wang was very happy, and he wrote a book and said that although there was a reason for his preference for medicine since childhood, and the idea of benefiting all sentient beings because of his belief in Buddhism, he naturally hoped that this good deed would be passed on to the next generation.
King Zhou followed the old man Xu to the temple and entered, tasted the wild vegetables that had no bitter taste after steaming and cleaning, and listened to several other people talk about the feeling after eating, and agreed very happily that each person would be rewarded with five treasure money this month.
He was excitedly saying that a xiǎo inner servant suddenly ran over and reported: "Lord Wang." Yang Xu, the first 100 households of Cao Guogong, asked to see. ”
"Oh?"
King Zhou was a little surprised. I don't know what Li Jinglong sent someone to do early in the morning. Hurriedly put down the weeds and walked out, just walked to the Buddhist hall of the five hundred Arhats, and saw Xia Xun holding his hands in the Buddhist hall slowly admiring a statue of Arhats. But when he saw Yang Xu taking the lead, he stopped far away and didn't dare to come.
King Zhou saw Xia Xun as soon as he saw him. I immediately had the impression that when I was at the banquet for Cao Guogong yesterday, this person had been drinking with him at the next head, and from beginning to end, this person never said a word. So King Zhou was impressed by him, and King Zhou stopped and said, "Well, I remember you." What's the matter, is Jiujiang going to the north? ”
King Zhou was slightly unhappy in his heart, Li Jinglong is his son and nephew, and his title is not as high as his, yesterday he was hospitable, if Li Jinglong continues to travel north today, he still cares about entering the city and saying goodbye, only send a hundred households to inform him. It seems a bit out of order.
Xia Xun said in a deep voice: "The prince is wrong. Cao Guogong did not travel north, at this moment, he was outside the palace. ”
King Zhou was surprised, and said blankly: "It's outside the palace" What does this mean? ”
Xia Xun slowly chōu took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve, and said in a rambling voice: "His Royal Highness King Zhou, take the order." ”
King Zhou was shocked, faintly aware that something must happen, and at this moment he had no time to ask the reason, so he hurriedly dusted off his robe and knelt down to receive the order.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"King Cha Zhou deliberately rebelled? Deliberate rebellion! ”
When the king of Zhou heard the holy decree, he was shocked and angry, and jumped up from the ground with a halberd. Roots and forests. As soon as the honest man gets angry, the appearance of the crown is really scary.
"Who's slander! What evidence does the emperor have for the crime of being orphaned! ”
King Zhou said angrily: "Lone is the emperor's uncle, the king of a country, is he so rash, do you want to condemn Lone?" ”
Xia Xun clasped his hands and said lightly: "Your Highness." Let's take the decree first, Cao Guogong is in accordance with the will of the Holy Lord, and he will lock His Highness back to Beijing, if it is to resist the decree. The army entered the mén in an instant, at that time. It's not easy to see each other. Don't hide it from Your Highness, Your Highness's three guards and horses. has been disarmed, guarded, Kaifeng commanded the envoys, and has also received the holy decree. Assist in the disposition. ”
King Zhou took two steps back and could no longer speak.
He is a prince, although he is usually obsessed with the study of medical skills. But he is not a rookie who knows nothing about politics. If the emperor hears that he is going to rebel and sends an edict asking him to go to Beijing for questioning, then there is still room for maneuver. Now that the soldiers and horses of the three guards have been disarmed, the Kaifeng Commander has received the holy decree, and Li Jing, the Duke of Cao Guo, has surrounded the palace with troops, which is not to ask for guilt, but to say that he has been convicted.
King Zhou slowly calmed down, stared at Xia Xun and said, "What does the emperor plan to do with the lonely king?" ”
Xia Xun shook his head and said, "The position of the lower official is low. Don't dare to speculate on the holy will. However, "
He stared at King Zhou and said meaningfully: "This time, it's not just the prince who wants to enter Beijing. All the people in the Zhou Palace, etc., all had to be locked and taken into Beijing. ”
When King Zhou heard this, his heart was suddenly desolate, and everyone took it into Beijing to ask for the guilt, and the king of Zhou was going to die.
At that time, his cousin Zhu Wenzheng, the king of Jingjiang, intended to rebel and was detained by his father, but he was still guilty of not being able to commit the crime, so he gave the title of prince to his cousin's son Zhu Shouqian. Zhu Wenzheng is plotting against him, it is conclusive that the evidence is conclusive, he is the emperor's own uncle, and because of a false charge, the whole family will be locked up in Beijing. The heir of the king of Jue Zhou, this nephew is so ruthless, the emperor is going to cut the domain.
The king of Zhou was sad and angry, and choked out the sword, Xia Xun looked at him sharply, and asked, "What does the prince do if he doesn't take the holy decree and draw his sword?" ”
King Zhou smiled sadly: "Haha." Do you want to rebel? Wouldn't that just fulfill the will of the Jiān people and confirm the crime of Lone? The emperor is not at ease, right, the minister told the emperor to rest assured and left! ”
King Zhou said. He put his sword around his neck.
Xia Xun's eyes turned and suddenly landed on an Arhat statue. Approaching, reciting the Buddha under the statue: "Persuade you to be optimistic and not lament, life has been difficult since ancient times." The day will come when the hardships are sweet, and the success will be returned. Your Highness is a believer in Buddhism, what do you think of Venerable Anasi's words?
King of Zhou's grief and indignation jiāo set. I originally wanted to wait for a few last words to the emperor, so I killed myself Mingzhi, and when I heard him suddenly recite this Buddhist verse, I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in my heart, what was he hinting at? Could it be that the emperor doesn't want to cure my crimes?
King Zhou stopped his sword, looked at Xia Xun intently, and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
Xia Xun's gaze glanced at the xiǎo chamberlain behind King Zhou, who waved his hand and drove the chamberlain away.
Xia Xun said: "I don't know if I have heard a story about the study of Buddhism? ”
King Zhou couldn't help but ask, "What's the story?" ”
Xia Xun said: "There is a bronze bell in the temple, a Buddha statue, and a big bell every day, which has to withstand hundreds of impacts and make a wail. And the Big Buddha sits there every day. Received prostration from thousands of people. The bell was very dissatisfied. He said, "You and I are both made of bronze, but you are high up, and every day people bow to you, offer huā fruits, burn incense and serve tea." But every time someone worships you, I'm going to be beaten, it's so unfair! ”
The Buddha said, "You don't have to envy me, you know. When I was made by craftsmen. Hammered one bāng at a time, carved with a knife at a time, after the pain of the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and endured the knife and hammer that fell like raindrops day and night. You have not endured my suffering, I have gone through unbearable austerities before I sit here and receive offerings and prayers! And you, others just tap lightly on you, and you can't stand it! ”
Zhou Wangshen moved slightly, but did not speak, Xia Xun said: "After enduring the hard carving and beating, the big Buddha became a big Buddha." What is unbearable about the pain of the beating of the clock? What does the prince think? ”
King Zhou said bitterly: "The Buddha said: All laws are made by forbearance. And what positive results can loneliness endure? ”
Xia Xun glanced at the Buddha statue and asked, "Your Highness should have understood the saint's intention now?" ”
Tong Wang sneered: "Yes, he ......"
Xia Xun immediately interrupted him: "Then! His Royal Highness should know that the life and death of His Royal Highness and the survival of King Zhou's lineage are not determined by the Emperor or His Royal Highness. ”
King Zhou said blankly: "Who is it up to?" ”
Xia Xun didn't answer, but said in a voice: "In the Hanshan Temple, there is only a pair of Buddhas, Hanshan, the monk said: The world slanders me, deceives me, insults me, laughs at me, despises me, despises me, hates me, and deceives me, how to deal with it?" "How did the monk answer, do you remember?"
King Zhou's eyes flashed slightly, and he replied: "Master Shide said: Just endure him, let him, let him, avoid him, bear with him, respect him, and ignore him." In a few years, you will see him. ”
Xia Xun smiled: "In a few years, you can look at him." Why doesn't Your Highness heed the teachings of the Master of Discovery? ”
"Lonely...... Taught. ”
King Zhou slowly moved the sword from his neck, he didn't think that after hearing these words, he could really endure and become a Buddha, but he understood something. The person in front of him is Jinyiwei, and he is acting by the will of God. If there is no special reason. He would not and did not dare to say such meaningful words to himself, which had a deep meaning in them. There must be some big secret about the current situation of the government. The secret. It must be about your future.
When a person has hope, how can he be willing to die?
Li Jinglong was outside the horse, and he very much hoped that the angry King of Zhou would cut Xia Xun into ròu mud under the extreme corruption, these phoenix sons and dragon grandsons. Even if he has a good name, he is still a phoenix and a dragon grandson after all, once he starts to lose his temper. It's not a single man.
If the king of Zhou beheaded Xia Xun and then gathered the guards in the palace to resist, he could kill him on the spot in accordance with the secret decree of the imperial court.
However, after waiting for a long time, suddenly the mén was wide open, and the palace guards were all empty-handed, standing solemnly on both sides, Xia Xun pressed the knife, and was walking out of it step by step.
Li Jinglong's eyes widened and he looked at him in surprise. Some couldn't believe it: "The pirates can't kill him, and even the prince won't kill him, this divination is really fateful." ”
"Li Jinglong, really xiǎo people also!"
Xia Xun couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw Li Jinglong's hateful appearance: "How did this Cao Guogong, who was still able to use military luck, become the first straw bag in the Ming Dynasty later?" It's weird, I don't know if I have any credit here. If there is, I will definitely not hesitate to help you Li Jiujiang achieve this "famous through the ages!" ”
Now, let you be proud for a while.
Those who can endure hatred, scolding, and resentment, smile at the wind and clouds, and have no worries about honor and disgrace, how many people can there be in the world?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The old prince and county lord of the Zhou Wang family were all locked up and taken into Beijing, and the prince and county lord were still in infancy. A prince suddenly ended up like this, and it was really miserable for his wife and children to be put in a cage.
Zhu Youran, the second son of King Zhou, is naturally among them, and he is still extremely afraid of his father. Afraid that his family would find out that he was the one who accused his father of rebellion, when he saw that he was also arrested, he let go of his worries, and only hoped that when he saw the capital to talk about the merits, his cousin The emperor would make a decree that he would inherit the throne of Zhou.
Zhu Yunfen heard that King Zhou's family was successfully locked up and returned to Beijing. Immediately overjoyed, and immediately summoned Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru to discuss in the Wenhua Palace. Zhu Yunfen said happily: "The three gentlemen, Zhou Fan, have been captured, and the first battle of the strategy of cutting the domain has been completed, which is all the work of the gentlemen for me." ”
The three of them hurriedly thanked him. Zhu Yunfen said with great interest: "The three gentlemen should not be too modest, this credit." I'll keep it in my heart. Now that the Zhou Domain has been locked up and taken into Beijing, the three gentlemen think, how should I send the Zhou Domain, and what should I do next? ”
This time to capture the king of Zhou, Huang Zicheng offered advice, and even Li Jinglong, the meritorious minister who successfully captured the king of Zhou, was recommended by him, and he contributed the most, so he preemptively said: "The crime of rebellion should be executed by the whole family." But. The emperor has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and King Zhou is the emperor's uncle after all, and the ministers think. Grace can be opened. The king of Zhou was cut to the people, and the border was desolate, which not only showed his crimes, but also showed His Majesty's forgiveness.
In fact, he also knows that the so-called rebellion of King Zhou is purely a crime concocted by Jinyiwei, and King Zhou has a very good reputation among the kings.
Zhu Yun's tomb head said: "What Mr. said is very true, in this case, the king of Zhou will be abolished as a concubine and migrated to Yunnan."
Huang Zicheng said: "Xiping Hou Mu Chūn has just passed away, and now He Fu, the deputy general of the left, is leading the people. Mu Chūn's son, his brother Mu Sheng should inherit the position of marquis. The emperor can issue an edict to Mu Sheng to inherit the Marquis of Xiping, and order him and He Fuyan to take care of Zhou Shuren. ”
Qi Tai felt that something was wrong, and said, "Your Majesty, is the Zhou Domain's lineage going to be cut off?" Zhu Youran, who sued the King of Zhou, has made meritorious contributions, this person ......", Zhu Yunfen frowned. Said in disgust: "Sue the father with the son, disobedience and unfilial piety!" Such an unfilial and unrighteous person. Will he be a martyr? Self-deserving and dispensing! ”
Huang Zicheng said with a smile: "Brother Shangli is stupid, not to mention that this Zhu Youran is despicable and shameless, just say that the emperor's original intention is to cut the domain, if you want to give him Zhu Youran a reward for his merits, how to reward him?" Named him the king of Zhou, won't these vassals be cut and raised again, when will he be the leader? ”
Qi Tai listened and hung his head and was silent.
Fang Xiaoru said: "Your Majesty, it is not our goal to cut down the Zhou Domain, our ultimate goal is to cut off all the vassal kings who may help the Yan Domain, and then eradicate the Yan Domain. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "Now that Zhou Fan has been cut, it is the problem of throwing stones. According to the minister's opinion, the emperor can record the crime of rebellion of the king of Zhou in the edict and send it to the vassals. There are three advantages to making the vassals discuss their crimes. ”
Zhu Yun's tomb jīng god shakes up. Hurriedly said: "Mr. Xizhi, please speak." ”
Fang Xiaoru said: "First, the crimes of the feudal clans are to admit that the Zhou clan is guilty, so that the whole world can know it." The cutting of Zhou Fan is not that the emperor does not think about family affection, nor is it that the emperor is arbitrary and professional, but the evidence of the crime is conclusive. Demonstrate the fairness of the imperial court. Second, the feudal lords admitted that the Zhou clan was guilty. He could no longer question the emperor's decision and harass the emperor for the revival of the Zhou domain; Three ......"
Fang Xiaoru smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said: "The emperor can use this to test the minds of the vassals, see the reactions of the vassals, and then the imperial court can cut the vassals with a good target and be prepared!" ”
Zhu Yunfen clapped his hands and praised: "Mr. Xizhi is strategizing, and this plan is very good, so he will make an edict according to Mr. Order all the vassals in the world to discuss the sin of King Zhou! ”

The gums squeak. Mixed with the man's wheezing and the nv man's moaning, the curtain was lowered, and the situation in the account could not be seen clearly, only two hazy shadows. It conveys a taste of yòu confusion.
After a long time, the long yín rhythm of the dàng people's heart slowly stopped, and a sturdy and slender thigh slipped out of the curtain weakly, white and tender, strong and sturdy, with a strange yòu magic in the slender straight.
"Xianggong, do you have something on your mind?"
Peng Ziqi's face was covered with a touch of crimson, which was the afterglow of Gao Cháo, and a green silk was spread on the couch. Lined with her snow-white skin, with a little fine sweat on her forehead, and with lazy and satisfied tiredness in her eyes, she gently pecked Xia Xun's chest like a xiǎo cat and asked softly.
Xia Xun still leaned over her soft body and answered: "Well, King Zhou was demoted to a commoner and sent to Yunnan, I want to escort King Zhou's family to Yunnan, but Luo Yi is not allowed." ”
"What are you going to do in Yunnan? The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and Yunnan is an uncivilized land with sparse population, snakes and insects everywhere, and the plague is rampant, not a good land. Isn't it good not to go? ”
Xia Xun smiled sullenly and said, "You don't understand, I will go here and again, and it will take more than half a year, I don't know how many things I can do, but it's a pity that ......"
Peng Ziqi bit him on the chest. Disgusted: "The new emperor ascended the throne, everyone is looking forward to the opportunity to get the emperor's favor, but you like to hide around, what's wrong with getting ahead, although I hope you look good, but I also want you to become famous." By the way, it's only a few days off when I come back from this trip, right? The crops in our field are harvesting well. The harvest is about to come, and the tenants want jiāo to rent, and Steward Xiao is afraid that he will not be able to do it alone. And also. You leave these days. Thank you for coming a few times, Ming'er chōu empty to see her. You promised to marry her in the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, right? Two days ago, the Mid-Autumn Festival, I took their brothers and sisters over to spend the festival together, thank you for being restless all night, it seems that people have been looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival next year......,......
Before Peng Ziqi finished talking about whether he had a ride or not, Xia Xun suddenly said: "Sell the land!" ”
Peng Ziqi poked his head out of his arms in surprise and asked, "What?" ”
Xia Xun said categorically: "Sell the land." Except for this house, all the property that the family can dispose of is disposed of. Swap for floats that are easy to carry. ”
Peng Ziqi noticed something and asked, "What's going to happen?" ”
Xia Xun said: "Soon, there will be a strong wind, and some things are better to take precautions." ”
He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Since God won't let me hide, I'll rush forward!" ”
Peng Ziqi found that there was a strange light flashing in his eyes, a very familiar feeling. When he was in Putai County, he decided to help himself deal with the big gentry Qiu Qiu, in Beiping, when he wanted to deal with the Northern Yuan tribes who blew up the Yanwang Mansion. In Xia Xun's eyes, she had seen such a light. Excitement with the expectation of challenges.
Peng Ziqi jumped up: "People are so bored at home, what do you want to do, do you want someone to help you, my knife is not worse than you." ”
Xia Xun smiled, his body suddenly straightened up, and he laughed: "If you want to help your father-in-law, how to help, is it like this?" ”
Peng Ziqi's pretty face turned red, she bit her lip, and said without showing weakness: "What's wrong with this, I'm afraid you won't make it!" ”
She straightened her waist, and suddenly turned Xia Xun upside down, twisted her delicate body, and Xia Xun's body just fell heavily on the bed. She smirked and pounced.
Xia Xun pretended to be afraid and said, "NV Hero, what are you going to do?" ”
Peng Ziqi pretended to be fierce and said, "Hurry up and let this girl give birth to a child." People will let you go, or "Hmph! ”
"How else?"
"Or ......"
Peng Ziqi's eyes were like silk, and his pretty face was crimson, like a peach blooming after the rain, and he said, "Otherwise." They've squeezed you dry! ”
The round tún bewitched in a seductive arc, accurately absorbing him into his body
