Master Dao'an looked calm, and said indifferently: "If the King of Heaven really wants to conquer the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is better to stay in Luoyang, send an envoy to the front, and let the army follow, force the Eastern Jin Dynasty to surrender, if they are stubborn, and then raise troops to fight for it, so that you don't have to get involved in Jianghuai, and you can also avoid war, if this is the case, the millions of people in Jianghuai on behalf of Lao Qu thank you for your great kindness!" ”

Fu Jian shook his head: "These are military affairs, the master is compassionate and compassionate, and he knows it, but this military matter, I won't bother you to express your high opinions." I'm very busy these days, and I'm going to prepare for the southern expedition, so I'll stop for the time being for today's interpretation, and when I come back from the next lonely southern expedition, I will definitely listen to the master's teachings! ”

As he spoke, he stood up directly from the step, jumped off the side, and saluted Master Dao'an: "Spread the decree, send the master back to the temple with this step, there must be no mistake, go back to the palace alone!" ”

Half an hour later, Fu Jian sat in Mrs. Zhang's bedroom, looking gloomy, sitting on the edge of the bed, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Mrs. Zhang sighed softly, moved an embroidered pier, sat next to Fu Jian, and opened her lips lightly: "Heavenly King, what's wrong with you, today was when you listened to Master Dao'an's explanation of Zen, but you came to the concubine, and you didn't speak after coming, isn't it, is there something wrong?" ”

Fu Jian closed his eyes, and simply lay on his back on the bed: "This must have been done by Ah Rong and them, they would actually let Dao'an and a monk come to admonish, too much, too much!" ”

Mrs. Zhang's heart brightened, put down a bowl of white fungus soup in her hand, and looked at Fu Jian: "Is it for the southern expedition again?" Heavenly King, have you really made up your mind? ”

Fu Jian opened his eyes, looked at Mrs. Zhang, and said calmly: "Back then, Lone sent troops to destroy your brother's Liang country, and this is why you entered Lone's harem, this time Lone is going to destroy another Han country, are you unhappy?" ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly: "With the conquest of the Heavenly King, I have the blessing of my concubine in this life, and I can serve the Heavenly King, how can I be unhappy?" It's just ............"

At this point, she wanted to say something and stopped. The smile that gradually bloomed on Fu Jian's face suddenly disappeared, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it, before Lone makes up his mind, everyone can speak, this is what Lone has publicly announced, Lone will see what you can say." ”

Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth, stood up, knelt in front of Fu Jian, first kowtowed, then straightened up, and said: "The concubine heard that all things born in heaven and earth, and the rule of the holy king in the world, must be followed by nature, and must not forcibly violate the way of heaven. ”

"Back then, the Yellow Emperor served oxen and horses, because of his sex; Dayu controls the water, Jun Jiuchuan, and obstructs Jiuze, because of its potential; Houji sows a hundred grains, so that the earth has crops, because of the time; Shang Tang, King Wu of Zhou led his troops to defeat Xia Wei and Shang Tang, because the hearts of all the people in the world are also! ”

"Therefore, there is a reason to succeed, and there is no reason to fail, these are the experiences and lessons of history. Today, the vast majority of the people in the court say that Jin cannot be defeated, and even Master Dao'an says so, the concubines don't know why His Majesty is cutting Jin?! ”

Fu Jian's eyes sparkled, this talented Han girl from Liangzhou quoted scriptures and classics when she spoke, and the truth was so natural and skillful, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "You go on." ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded and continued: "The Book of Books says that the heavens are wise and the people are wise, and the heavens still have to be because of the people's desires, let alone the monarch of the world? The concubines also heard that when the king is a teacher, he will respond to the time of heaven and the hearts of the people, and there will be various auspicious signs. On the contrary, if the teacher is nameless and perverse, it will not be blessed by God. ”

"If you don't trust people's hearts, look at the time of day, as the proverb goes: 'The rooster who cries in the night is not good for the master, and the dog howls will be empty, and the army will be frightened, and the army will not return.'" Since autumn and winter, the chickens have been crowing at night, the dogs are wailing, the stables are frightened, and the arsenal weapons are automatically sounding. Look to the king of heaven to see! ”

When she said this, her beautiful eyes were already shining with tears, and she almost couldn't cry, and she choked up and said: "Heavenly King, please, please take this as a wife, and give advice to your husband, the concubine is really, really afraid that you will ............ this time."

Fu Jian slowly stood up and looked down at Mrs. Zhang from top to bottom: "Are you afraid that I will not return to the south, will I fail?" These celestial people have sensed the words, the courtiers have said many times, if they believed this, they would not have cut down the swallows and the cold back then! Even when you attacked and destroyed your Liang Kingdom, these courtiers also used various reasons to shirk and refute. If I had believed in them, would you be here now? ”

Mrs. Zhang was silent, and sighed faintly: "The concubine is really, I really don't want you to be in any danger, isn't it good to be in Chang'an like this?" ”

Fu Jian said coldly: "This military matter has always been decided by men, not women. Lone is grateful for your concern for Lonely, but you didn't convince Lone, and don't talk about it again! ”

As he spoke, he didn't look at Mrs. Zhang, he stood up and walked out, and an immature child's voice came from the side: "Father, father!" ”

Fu Jian's heart moved, and he looked at the pillar on the side, and the face of a six or seven-year-old boy appeared behind him, who was the youngest son Fu Xuan born to him and Mrs. Zhang.

Fu Jian laughed, took a few steps forward, hugged his little son, and kissed his little face: "Xu'er, my father's kingdom is busy these days, so I didn't care about coming up to see you, and when I'm done this time, I'll take you to Jiankang for a trip, how about it?!" ”

Fu Shu smiled slightly: "The child has been learning the truth in the poems and books according to his father's instructions these days, and he has some questions, and he wants to ask his father for advice, but I wonder if his father can solve his doubts?" ”

Fu Jian was slightly stunned, then put down Fu Jian with a smile, and sat cross-legged in front of him: "Okay, I actually learned to take the initiative to ask my father, very good, you say, what's the problem?" ”

Fu Xuan glanced at Mrs. Zhang, looked directly into Fu Jian's eyes, and said with a straight face: "I heard that the child believes that governing the country depends on the sage, and as a monarch, he must also listen to the opinions of the sage. If you use a virtuous person, the country will prosper, and without a virtuous person, the country will decline, is that right? ”

Fu Jian nodded: "Yes, that's the truth." ”

Fu Xuan continued to ask: "Then may I ask Yang Pinggong, as well as Xie An and Huan Chong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, are they sages?" ”

Fu Jian's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "They are all ministers of the country, of course they are sages. ”
