Sitting in her place, the prince and concubine faced her good friend and confidant Han Ce (Zhao Xing) dejectedly about the changes in the court.

The Confucian students who survived more than 2,000 catastrophes, the four great Confucians who had just been elegant, all looked like ashes.

After a long time, Zhao Xing, who was full of pain, gave his hand: "In order to save Zhongshan, in order to continue the foundation of the ancestors of Taizu, please ask the prince to go to the side of the Qingjun." ”

As soon as these words came out, the four great Confucians immediately rejoiced, and the Confucian students who survived more than 2,000 catastrophes were all excited.

"This seems to be contrary to Confucianism, the teachings of the sages." The prince's tangled inquiry, there was no insistence in his tone.

Zhao Xing spread his hands: "We are not disloyal to the king, and we do not obey our father." We are just for the sake of this country and the long-term stability of Zhongshan Kingdom, it is the side of the Qing monarch, not to kill the monarch and usurp the throne, but to kill the rebellious ministers, thieves and villains around the monarch's father, and then ask the prince to respect the king as the main father, and under the teaching of the master father, the prince temporarily leads the national government. ”

In this era, there was no such thing as the emperor, because the coups that overthrew his father in various vassal states were basically cut down and buried his father, whether it was with a breath or without a breath, such as who.

The term Emperor Taishang was invented by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and he is very respectful and filial.

The crown prince was still hesitating, because he knew very well that his bosom friend, the benefactor who saved his life, came up with this idea, although it was nominally high-sounding, but it was actually very dirty and contrary to the Confucianism he accepted.

The king let the minister die and have to die, and the father let the son die and have to die, which is the foundation of the three outlines and five constants. As a result, this bosom friend benefactor let himself make his father's rebellion, which is obviously contrary to the education he received.

So, he looked helplessly at the four great Confucians.

The eyes of the four great Confucians were shining, and they taught firmly: "The great Confucian Mencius said, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, life and righteousness can't be equal, Confucius becomes benevolent, and Mencius takes righteousness." In the face of our own reputation and righteousness, we should choose the latter, which is the essence of Confucianism. ”

This is the double standard, Zhao Xing really admires the flexibility of Confucianism, or simply justifies himself.

"Is that really the case?" The crown prince and concubine asked suspiciously.

The four Confucians, who already wanted to be national teachers and wanted to go crazy, nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice, and replied firmly: "It is written on the yellow calendar." ”

Then the prince looked at the more than 2,000 Confucian students outside the door.

Confucian scholars shouted together: "Becoming benevolent and righteous, for the people, is the way to the world." ”

looked at Zhao Xing again.

"We are not against the king, we are against the old man and return to the dynasty."

"This reason is good, it's really lofty, and this reason makes me no longer feel guilty in my heart." Then the prince suddenly stood up with blood-red eyes: "We are on the side of Qingjun." ”

There was a frenzied cheer inside and outside the lobby, and in their opinion, they were practicing the most fundamental avenue of Confucianism.

The spirits of Zhao Xing's family were pulled over by carts and distributed on the street to all the soldiers who wanted to follow the side of Prince Qingjun, and distributed to all the scholars and Confucian scholars.

Wine is easy to mess up and strengthen courage, and wine can make people blood on the street for five steps. Of course, if you really drink too much, you can also get drunk and can't do anything.

When Zhao Xing's treasury was completely clean, everyone's drinking was just right, looking at the drunkards who fell into a state of madness, Zhao Xing knew that a group of drunkards who were most capable of making trouble had formed. Now what he hopes most is one of them, rush to the bottom of the lobby, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, kill anyone he sees, and then the king of Zhongshan will die under the sword in an inexplicable group of drunkards.

"If this doesn't happen, you are the most outstanding swordsman among my three hundred monarchs, and I hope you will be drunk and confused for a while, and kill that king by mistake."

To one of the most outstanding swordsman-level soldiers under his command, Zhao Xing taught him: "Come on, come on, don't drink anymore, if you drink again, you will be weak in your hands and feet, and you will not be able to complete your mission." Then he lifted the last jar of liquor and poured it directly on him, and in no time, this guy with the highest swordsmanship became a drunkard who was full of alcohol when he was sober.

For the sake of insurance, Zhao Xing came to one of his own Junqiu scholars, he was a Lou annoying, a real condor shooter, and his archery skills were unparalleled in the world.

"You must aim, you must kill with one arrow." As he was talking, the prince who was in a hurry happened to walk behind him, so Zhao Xing said solemnly in a low voice: "This time, let the prince succeed to the throne and rectify Zhongshan with peace of mind, it will be up to us. ”

The prince paused for a moment, and then sang heartily: "Brush off your clothes when it's over, leave no merit and fame!" What a hero in the world. Then he remembered the phrase and did not hear anything else before him.

A large group of strong men who were full of worries about the future of Zhongshan, a large group of Confucian scholars who were worried about the country and the people, and a large group of drunken militiamen who were inexplicably drunk, followed the prince to the palace.

Zhao Xing and other 300 soldiers, dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, followed the prince closely, raising their arms and shouting all the way: "For the revival of Zhongshan, the Qing monarch side, kill the national thief." ”

All the people shouted with enthusiasm: "For the revival of Zhongshan, Qingjun side, kill the national thief." ”

The few scarred guards left at the palace gate were pushed open by the crowd, and the prince rushed into the palace with everyone and rushed to the main hall.

In the face of the stunned Zhongshan Wangcuo, the prince cried and knelt down and pleaded: "Please worship the four great Confucians as national teachers and guest secretaries, implement the reform of Confucianism, implement the deposition of Confucianism from the hundred schools, kill Sima Yi and the remnants of the harem, and practice the teachings of Zhongshan Wanghua." ”

Zhongshan Wang Cuo pointed to the drunkards who had already filled the hall, and asked in a trembling voice: "What are you doing?" Is this forcing the palace? Then he said bitterly: "Wake up, your way can't make Zhongshan strong." Lao Yi is right, if we Zhongshan Kingdom, if we want to survive among the great powers, we must still rely on our strong blood, you can sober up. ”

As a result, Zhao Xing raised his voice: "Qingjun's side, kill the rebel thief, and assist the prince to succeed to the throne." ”

Three hundred monarchs and monks responded violently, and hundreds of drunkards responded violently.

A sword pierced the heart of the greatest king of Zhongshan, and a sharp arrow pierced the neck of the greatest king of Zhongshan.

Faced with his father's death, the prince just lay on the ground and wept bitterly.

Zhao Xing is gone, to be exact, Han Ce is gone, he really did it, he went to his clothes, and he hid his merit and fame! Not only that, but he also took away the charge of drunken disorder and manslaughter of the monarch, and quietly left Zhongshan on the day the prince ascended the throne, which made the prince, the current king, cry with gratitude. He secretly swore in his heart that when he was strong in Zhongshan and recognized by the princes, he must find this bosom friend and make him his helper.
