Chapter 669: Defense

Facing the little emperor's questioning, these great Confucian scholars looked solemn, and looked at the dozen or so half-exposed stone piers in the courtyard with some worries. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They don't know what they think, if they say it wrong, it will make the emperor dislike, but if they don't say it, they will make people look down on it, and it seems that they are uneducated. However, they didn't open their mouths for a long time, but seemed to be thinking and analyzing, but Zhao Yu seemed to wait for the rising bird, and then look at their own attitude, so as to decide what to do?

"Your Majesty, I thought this was a good omen. Pier, meaning the foundation, with stone as the pier, can be a rock-solid solution. Heaven knows with this edict that Qiongzhou in the world is unbreakable! After a while, Xie Ao said.

"Well, there seems to be some truth, but with so many stone piers pouring out at once, can it also be said that the places in the south of the Yangtze River occupied by the Tartars are also like rocks?" Zhao Yu nodded and said suspiciously.

"This ......" Xie Ao didn't expect the little emperor to ask like this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Your Majesty, this game is very strange, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of the mystery below, but it should not be a bad omen." Shu Yuexiang frowned and said paradoxically.

"What do you think?" As soon as he heard the ambiguous words of the old man Shu, he knew that he was a slippery head, and turned to ask Deng Wenyuan.

"Your Majesty, I don't know anything about yin and yang!" Deng Wenyuan hugged his fists and saluted.

"It seems that the will of heaven is unpredictable, and it is beyond the power of mortals like me to crack it!" Zhao Yu sighed when he heard it, but he had a good impression of Deng Wenyuan, at least people told the truth, if they didn't know, they didn't know.

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, if you can see through the will of heaven, how can you have today's situation!" Ma Tingluan was stunned.

"Isn't Mr. Bo Hou involved in astronomy and geography, don't you understand the meaning?" At this time, Xiong He turned his face to Wang Yinglin and said.

"I am a shallow learner, how can I predict the way of heaven. I want to be a bit of Xin, I have a high opinion! Wang Yinglin shook his head and said with a smile.

"This ...... I don't know! Xiong He made a big red face and said hesitantly.

"Huh!" Zhao Yu smiled and said nothing, thinking that this Mr. Xiong is really young, and he is also a pig teammate, he didn't express his position, of course, it is the best policy to shut up and protect himself, but he recommended others instead, isn't it self-inflicted?

"Your Majesty, is there a precursor to the birth of a stone pier in the courtyard?" Speaking of which, Deng Guangjian is most familiar with the little emperor, and seeing that his smile seems to have a conspiracy, he thinks about it and asks.

"Deng Zhongcheng, this matter is very strange...... In the end, His Majesty said that tomorrow he would be able to make the courtyard full of stone piers, who knew that this courtyard would really grow in the morning! Without waiting for Zhao Yu to speak, Wang De on the side took over the conversation and told yesterday's events as they were.

"Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, and the exit is constitutional, and the gods here have to obey it!" At this time, Hu Sanxing, who had been silent, said suddenly.

"Oh, it turns out that there is still this reason in the past, no wonder, no wonder!" Ma Tingluan also high-fived.

"What does Mr. Su Lu think?" Others also echoed, praising Zhao Yu as the emperor is the destiny of heaven, the true destiny of the emperor, he found that only Deng Wenyuan did not say anything, and named him.

"Your Majesty, I thought it was ......," Deng Wenyuan replied, but he said the beginning but not the end.

"Your Majesty, is there something strange in it?" Deng Guangjian saw that the little emperor was just laughing, but he was not surprised or pleased, and immediately thought that he was playing tricks, and asked with a straight face.

"Sir, don't be angry, in fact, this matter is just a joke with the palace people, who knows that when you gentlemen arrive, the plan will be ruined!" Zhao Yu immediately explained to Deng Guangjian.

"Oh, and how did Your Majesty do it?" Everyone was really embarrassed and curious when they heard it, and they muttered for a long time that it turned out to be a child joking, which was a big shame.

"This matter is actually very simple, it is just a common method used by charlatans to deceive the people!" Zhao Hao smiled and ordered the guards to move the stone pier out of the way.

"What is this?" Everyone leaned over and saw a messy clump of vegetable sprouts growing in the pit, and they were puzzled.

"Hehe, in fact, I asked people to dig a pit first, sprinkle beans on the bottom of the pit, and then put the stone pier in the pit, cover it with floating soil, and restore it to its original state. And a night rain made the beans sprout, and the stone pier arched out of the ground, and those who don't understand the inside story looked like they were born on the ground! Zhao Hao explained with a smile.

"In this way, the monk just used some beans to push the Buddha statue out of the ground, and deceived those good men and women to donate money and materials to build a temple, which is not auspicious at all!" Wang De was a little resentful and a little disappointed.

"That's it, that's why I say you've all been deceived!" Zhao Yu squatted down with a smile and said, "This bean sprout is good, you let people take it and send it to the dining room to mix it up, don't waste it!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang De ordered the little yellow men to get pots to collect bean sprouts, and muttered and scolded the monk angrily, as if he hated him for deceiving his feelings.

"Gentlemen, don't you have breakfast yet, so let's prepare the dining room together!" Zhao Hao looked at everyone's unhappy looks, and realized that it might be because he was tricked, so he was unhappy, but he couldn't blame himself, who let them hit the muzzle of the gun. But I still have to do my landlord's friendship, so I have to take care of food......

Zhao Hao had breakfast after washing, according to the arrangement, it should be to review the folds and sort out the official documents, but so many celebrities came to say hello, if he was too cold, how to show the corporal Lixian, and the mood of seeking talent! So he asked Cai Qiao, who was on duty, that there was no urgent official document today, so he postponed this, and made time to meet with them, listen to whether there were constructive suggestions, and by the way, examine his ability, and consider the next step of the arrangement.

The brightest thing in the palace is the patio in the backyard, where there are flowers, grass, ponds, and shaded awnings. Although this arrangement is casual, it lacks the majesty of the hall, which can make people relax and be vigilant, and it is easier to confide in their hearts and tell the truth.

"The palace is located in the middle of nowhere, don't blame you for not being well entertained!" After a few words of greeting, Zhao Yu sat down and spoke.

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, when we first arrived in Qiongzhou, we heard that Your Majesty is very frugal, three meals a day is extremely simple, and even the entourage for going out to inspect and eat is paid by Your Majesty himself, and he never uses public money." Ma Tingluan waved his hand.

"Yes, every time we go to the army and the people, we praise Your Majesty Shengming, and I didn't expect that in just three years, Your Majesty will govern this barbaric land so prosperously, the slang can live in harmony, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, this is the unfinished work of the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years!" Hu Sanxing continued.

"Where is this my credit, this is all because of the service of the ministers and the service of the soldiers!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, he knows it in this era, and he has to keep a few points when he speaks, otherwise he will say that you are arrogant and don't know etiquette, so you have to be a man with your tail between your legs at all times.

"Your Majesty is too modest, I heard early in the morning that it was His Majesty who advocated the management of Qiongzhou, so that the Xing Dynasty had a foothold to continue the national lineage!" Wang Yinglin said.

"I'm sorry for my ancestors and ancestors, I can't recover Jiangnan, I can only settle in this corner of the country, I'm really ashamed!" Zhao Yu said with a gloomy expression.

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself, the decline of the state and the loss of the country are all caused by treacherous power, and it is our fault!" Ma Tingluan hurriedly said. The matter is obvious, the little emperor is only a few years old, and he has only been on the throne for more than a year, and this account cannot be remembered on his body, but he is in a weak position to assist the government, and he is allowed to run rampant in the court.

"The past is gone, and now the Xing Dynasty is politically clear under the auspices of His Majesty, and with one heart, we will definitely be able to return to Jiangnan and restore my Yanyun!" Deng Wen said originally.

"This is also what I want, and I need your help!" Zhao Yu said.

"There is an order from the saint, dare not obey!" Everyone saluted in unison.

"Okay, I've thanked you here!" Zhao Yu also got up and saluted back.

"Your Majesty, this time the demon monk used evil magic to bewitch the people and defraud the money, I don't know what to do?" After everyone sat down again, Wang Yinglin asked.

"Oh, I'm not going to pursue this matter!" Zhao Hao smiled. He knew that he was on the right track, and while he was inspecting others, they were also observing him, which was testing his ability to handle government affairs.

"Your Majesty, I have heard everywhere in Qiongzhou that Your Majesty enforces the law very strictly, and the punishment of lawlessness is not merciful, why do you want to let go of the demon monk easily?" As soon as the little emperor spoke, everyone was shocked, and Xiong He asked first in great puzzlement.

"Of course, I have my own reason!" Zhao Yu said, "First, after this monk succeeded, he must have already destroyed the evidence, even if we expose it, do you think the people will believe you, or do you believe in the monk more?" Second......"

"Your Majesty, I think that even if you can't find out the evidence, you still need to be punished, and as for the people, as long as they are educated, I believe they will support the court." Xiong He didn't wait for the little emperor to finish speaking, then interjected.

"Hehe, as the saying goes, catch the traitor and get the double, catch the thief and get dirty. And the stone Buddha rose to the ground in front of the people, but you went to investigate and deal with it with empty mouths and white teeth, how to win the trust of the people? I am afraid that forcibly arresting the monks will also lead to confrontation and even conflict between the villagers and the imperial court! Zhao Hao smiled and said, "But before I finished speaking, Mr. Bexuan interjected, it doesn't seem to be in line with etiquette, right?" ”

"It's time to give a salute, please punish Your Majesty!" Xiong He immediately realized that he was abrupt, although he was facing a child, he was the king of a country, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"There's no need for punishment, and you don't have to disagree with what I'm saying, but you have to let me finish speaking!" Zhao Yu pressed his hand to let Xiong He sit down and said. He did not do this to break this harmonious situation, but to let everyone understand that although the emperor is small, his majesty is inviolable, and he does not allow others to point fingers at will, but the purpose is not to rectify it.

"Gentlemen, please respect yourself, naturally you will leave everyone a chance to speak!" Deng Guangjian also got up and said. As an emperor, he naturally has the responsibility to maintain the dignity of the little emperor, and naturally he can't let them 'bully', but he also secretly admires the little emperor's great progress.

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Ma Tingluan stood up and saluted, and at the same time glanced at Xiong He coldly. He has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally knows very well that interrupting His Majesty's speech is not as simple as being rude, if he is above the court, he will not only be impeached by the imperial history of the palace, but he will even be driven out of the court for the crime of bullying the king. This Xiong He didn't know that the sky and the earth were thick and thick would not only harm himself, but also harm everyone, but fortunately, His Majesty was generous and did not pursue it.

Second, these immigrants have traveled thousands of miles to Qiongzhou, and the government can give them money, food, and land, but they will inevitably be unsatisfactory, so they miss their hometown and relatives. And this monk built a temple here, although the means are not glorious, but it can also allow the people to get sustenance and comfort, so that they can stay in Qiongzhou with peace of mind. As long as he did not commit adultery in the future, why should we pursue it? To tell the truth, I admired this monk a little in my heart, who did not hesitate to come to this wild place in order to promote Buddhism, and built a temple with just a small trick, attracting countless believers. Its means are so high that ordinary people can't reach it! Zhao Hao smiled.

"Your Majesty's words are true, although this monk's methods are bad, but they have also achieved their goals, and made the people believe in them and teach people to be good. In contrast, good outweighs evil, and there is nothing wrong with that! Wang Yinglin nodded after hearing this.

"Your Majesty can judge the situation and properly handle this matter, it is really a blessing for the people, if it is forcibly exposed, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people, and it will also question the court's reckless actions!" Ma Tingluan also expressed his attitude, he knew that not all the people could accept the preaching, but when he saw the Buddha statue born on the ground, he would think that this was an auspicious place of birth, which would naturally bring happiness to himself, and of course he would feel at ease here. And if it is exposed, although it makes the people understand that this is a scam, it will also immediately make their happiness disappear.

"Mr. Biwu, the sage once said: The son is silent, and the strange power is chaotic. If the rumors of the demon monks are allowed to confuse the public and confuse people's hearts, wouldn't it be against the will of the saints? Xiong He frowned and said. However, he learned smartly this time, and did not directly target the emperor, but asked Ma Tingluan rhetorically.

"This ...... Although the saint is like this, he can't say it in a word, how can he force it before the wisdom of the people is opened, and he will naturally understand it when he is enlightened. Ma Tingluan was stunned and said.

"Not necessarily, right? Saints are also human beings, but they do not believe in ghosts and gods! Zhao Yu couldn't see that he was targeting himself, and said with a smile.

"This ...... Your Majesty is talking about it again? Xiong He was deeply influenced by Zhu Xi's doctrine, regarded him as the second of Confucius, and believed that his writings continued to be sacred and peerless, and could open up peace for all generations, but after all, he was still ranked second to Confucius. At that moment, His Majesty questioned what he said, of course, Uncle Ke couldn't bear it, and immediately asked.

"The Analects of the Analects of the Confessions of the Chronicles of the Chronicles of the Chronicles of the Confession of the Confessions Zi said: Are there you? Zilu said: Yes. He said: Pray to the gods and gods. Zi said: Qiu's prayer has been for a long time. Zhao Yu recited a passage. And the meaning of this passage is that Confucius was probably too uncomfortable when he was sick, and he prayed to God, dear God, let my illness be cured, please!

"......" Everyone immediately fell silent when they heard this, but they felt that it seemed inappropriate for His Majesty to justify such an explanation, but they couldn't tell for a while......
