Hu Wei's next words are probably the most logical and learned words he has ever said in his life.

"Your Highness knows the five elements?"

"Five elements? Metal, wood, water, fire, earth? ”

"Not bad." Hu Wei nodded very sincerely: "Your Highness knows the five elements, and you should know that everything in the world is composed of the five elements. And between the five elements, there is a relationship of mutual restraint between each other, just as gold begets water, water begets wood, wood begets fire, fire begets earth, and earth begets gold. ”

"I didn't expect you to have research on this?" When Liu Wei heard this, he was stunned.

Hu Wei was noncommittal, and continued: "The so-called birth is the replacement of one thing by one thing, which can also be interpreted as reincarnation. ”

Liu Wei bowed slightly, no longer just teasing Hu Wei like before, but realized something, and said slowly: "Xiao Hua, have you ever thought that this gold gives birth to water, water to wood, wood to fire, fire to earth, earth to gold, what is the reason for this order, why can't it be earth and water, and water and gold?" ”

"Your Highness is so smart, how can you not know the truth in this?" Hu Wei saw that Liu Wei had already listened to his words in his heart, and his joy suddenly appeared: "The gold and stone are heated and turned into water, so the gold is born of water, and the shrubs are diverted from the water, which can make the trees grow luxuriantly, so it is made of water and wood, as for the fire from the wood, it is more clear that the thing that causes the fire is the grass and trees, and the plants and trees are caused by the fire to ashes, which is the wood and the soil, and in the end, the gold and stone are mostly hidden in the soil, so there is one of the gold from the soil." ”

"I see." Liu Wei nodded slowly: "I never thought that this jerky and incomprehensible theory of the five elements would be so close to natural phenomena." ”

"Yes!" Hu Wei continued: "As for the five elements, the five colors are gold is white, wood is green, water is black, fire is red, and earth is yellow. ”

"I guess this is also a reference to the original color of natural things, so this conclusion is made, right?" Liu Wei asked.

"What Your Highness said is very true."

"You go on." After listening to this lot, Liu Wei finally became interested.

"These five elements are not only used to correspond to colors, but also to correspond to dynasties." The more Hu Wei spoke, the more excited he became, he actually stood up straight, and danced with his hands: "Zhou is still red for Huode, and Qin replaces it, it is for Shuide, Shanghei, and the Han Dynasty destroyed Qin, so it is Mude, it should be still green, but Gaozu inherited the Qin system, and still respects water virtue, and is still black, as for Emperor Wu's expansion of the territory, the merit is the world, and the Tude is respected, and the Huang is still yellow, and now my Han respects the fire virtue, Shang Hong, if you want to replace it, you must respect the Tude, still yellow, the so-called Huang Tian should stand, and the yellow scarf wraps the head is from this. ”

"Do you think of these stories?" After Hu Wei finished speaking, Liu Wei asked bluntly.

"How can a minister have the ability to come up with this." Hu Wei laughed dryly twice, and hurriedly explained: "It's all Feng Yu said and I can hear it, just these last two sentences are what I thought of myself." ”

"The last two sentences?" Liu Wei frowned slightly: "Which two sentences?" ”

Hu Wei approached Liu Wei, lowered his voice and whispered: "Now that my Han is still red, he naturally respects the virtue of fire, so if you want to take the Han to stand on his own, it is natural to respect the virtue of the earth and the yellow." Therefore, the minister thought that the reason why this Taiping Dao had to wrap his head in a yellow scarf, saying that the sky was dead and the yellow sky should stand, was probably because of these reasons. ”

"I think more and more that you are really a bit smart."

Hu Wei scratched his head and laughed dryly, pretending to excuse himself.

"But as you said, there is also a great problem, if this Taiping Taoist really thinks that he only needs to obey the five elements, respect a fire virtue and earth virtue, and advocate red and yellow, he can take the world, then it is really ignorant and ridiculous."

"Why?" Hu Wei asked blankly.

"As you said, when the Han Dynasty destroyed Qin, it should have respected water virtue and was still cyan, but Gaozu still inherited the Qin system, respected water virtue, and was still black, right?"

"Yes, yes." Hu Wei replied truthfully.

"Why is that?"

"This ......" Hu Wei was just about to explain, but he didn't know how to speak.

"But Gao Zu is not wise and doesn't understand the five elements of color?"

Hu Wei didn't dare to respond.

"Or is Gaozu incompetent, recalling the old system of the Qin people?"

Ignoring Gaozu, only Liu Wei came out, Hu Wei was already frightened and dementia at the moment, if he didn't say yes, he didn't even dare to listen to it.

"The matter of Gaozu is left aside for the time being." Hu Wei heard the words, a big stone fell in his heart, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief, but he heard Liu Wei continue: "Emperor Wu respects Tude, is still yellow, and Tuke Fire is yellow and red, what does this mean?" ”

Hu Wei was relaxed for a moment, and suddenly he was worried again.

"Before Emperor Wu, my Han Dynasty has always respected water and black, how can there be a dynasty that respects fire and red? It is necessary for Emperor Wu to respect the soil and still yellow before he can take it? Was Emperor Wu the devil or did it be a dream? ”

After ignoring Gaozu and then ignoring Emperor Wu, this great man was the only one who debated Liu Wei.

"When I want to say that Xin Mang usurped the Han, as far as I know, during the Xin Mang Dynasty, the clothes were still red, and the national color should be red, as you said......"

"Your Majesty, it is not what the minister said, but the words of the traitor." Hu Wei was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly interrupted Liu's defense.

"Oh, yes, as the traitor Feng Yu said, the country is still red, when the fire is respected, after Emperor Wu, the Han is still yellow and respects the soil, in this case, it is not ridiculous to extinguish the picture with fire and replace yellow with red?"

"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! Hu Wei hurriedly smiled and responded.

"If the color of these five elements can be related to the overthrow of the country's fortunes, then the reckless rebellion of the thief king can also overturn the Han and stand on his own, isn't it a person with a clear destiny? How can such a character be destroyed by the glory of this dynasty? Hu Wei, you say, yes and no? ”

"Yes! Be! What His Highness said is very true! ”

Liu Wei circled around Hu Wei, and finally returned to the front of the case to sit down, picked up the bamboo scroll on the case, and said slowly: "You just said that if you hadn't been loyal to me for a long time, you would have switched to Taiping Dao, do you think it's ridiculous to think about it like this?" ”

Hu Wei smiled bitterly, followed Liu Wei to the side of the case, took the initiative to bend down to help Liu Wei clean up the bamboo scrolls on the case, and said softly: "Although Feng Zhen, a traitor, said some demagogic words with his ministers, it is true that the Taiping Dao is powerful and the Han army is weak. ”

"That's good." Liu Wei bowed slightly: "I have a Han state system, and the county does not pawn soldiers, if this Taiping Dao is really reversed one day, I am afraid that half of the cities in this territory will fall into the hands of these thieves." ”

"But if this day really comes, isn't Your Highness afraid?" Hu Weiwu was worried and asked softly.

"Afraid? Afraid of what? Liu Wei disagreed: "Could it be that you are afraid that these Taiping Dao thieves will really overturn the Han and stand on their own?" ”

Hu Wei didn't make a sound, obviously responding silently.

Liu Wei saw it in his eyes and said slowly: "Isn't there a Tang Zhou now?" On this day, the general Zhang Jiao has worked hard to manage the foundation of Taiping Dao for more than ten years, but now he has destroyed a Tang Zhou, shouldn't he be afraid of Zhang Jiao? ”

"Despite this, there are still hundreds of thousands of Taoists in this Taiping Dao, these Taiping Dao people are all heavenly soldiers and generals, if you get a bowl of talisman water from the Heavenly Gong General Zhang Jiao, it is even more invulnerable, invincible, my dignified Han Southern Army can't even beat Xianbei Zahu, how can it be the opponent of these heavenly soldiers and ghosts?" Hu Wei couldn't help but be frustrated.

When Liu Wei heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "This is also what the Feng Yu said, right?" ”

Hu Wei hung his head and didn't answer, so he responded.

"Zhang Jiao just draws some charms and makes some runes to deceive you who don't know how to learn." Liu Wei didn't fight in anger, raised his left foot and kicked Hu Wei's buttocks.

Hu Wei half-bowed, received this kick, his center of gravity was unstable, and he felt pain in his buttocks, and fell forward with an "oops", only to hear a "pop", and the whole person was like a turtle lying on the ground.

"Does it hurt?" Liu Wei stepped forward and asked.

"It hurts! It hurts me too! Hu Wei shouted loudly.

"That seal is not only the internal work of the Taiping Dao in the forbidden, but also the status of the Taiping Dao is also quite respected, and if you want to make this bowl of talisman water, you will naturally come from it, right?" Liu Wei didn't care, and said to himself: "You are good friends with him anyway, and he will also tell you all this major secret, and it is not difficult to ask him for a bowl of talisman water again." Now that you have decided to follow me, the prince who respects the fire and is still red, I am afraid that you will not have the opportunity to eat the talisman water of the Tiangong General in this life, so you will retreat to the second, eat a bowl of the sealed talisman water, and then come to me to kick it to see if it will really become invulnerable and invulnerable to water and fire as others say. ”

Hu Wei knew that Liu Wei was just questioning Fu Shui's invincibility, so he didn't dare to say more, just patted his ass and stood up in pain.

But seeing that Liu Wei, who was still laughing confidently, suddenly let out a long sigh, paced to the gate of the palace, looked up to the sky and said: "The three brothers of the Zhang family and these yellow turban thieves, I have never been afraid, at most, I feel that so many people are going to die, and I am somewhat unbearable." ”

Hu Wei stepped forward and said calmly: "It's just the lives of some Qianshou, as cheap as ants, why does Your Highness have such unbearable thoughts." ”

"You're right." Liu Wei turned his head and glanced at Hu Wei and said: "In the past eight years, in Luoyang City, these Qianshou who are as cheap as ants have died more than a million, and I am still unmoved in it. ”

Hu Wei felt that Liu Wei didn't know what he said, so he stopped talking.

"Now that I think about it, from beginning to end, I'm just afraid of one person." Liu Wei stood with his hands behind his back, looking at an extremely high platform on the southwest side, which was the Yong'an Houtai that had been climbed with his emperor father, and sighed: "And what I have done over the years seems to be for this world, for these Qianshou Li Shu, but it is better to say that it is for myself, for this person not to appear." ”

When Hu Wei heard this, he shouted angrily: "Dare to ask Your Highness who the so-called person is, Your Highness explained to me, and the minister should slash this person and never let him appear, so that His Highness can feel at ease from now on." ”

"Now that the Taiping Dao incident has begun, this person will appear in the world, close to me." When Liu Wei heard this, he felt a trace of warmth in his heart, and when he saw him looking at Hu Wei, he said with a smile: "If there is really such a day, maybe I can only rely on Xiao Hua's three-foot long sword." ”

When Hu Wei heard this, his ambition surged up instantly, he took a step back, and said: "If there is really such a day, the minister will never give up!" ”

"Is there a day when you Hu Xiaohua are not afraid of death?" Although Liu Wei said with a smile in his mouth, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, seeing that he stepped out of the palace and walked towards Yong'an Houtai, accompanied by the whistling north wind, four words came from under the corridor of the north and south halls: "Let's look at it." ”
