Chapter 298: What is the royal road?

Seeing that although the old man was moved, he did not open his mouth to express his wife, Xu Xianchun continued: "If you enter the country and do not have a man, the country will die." If you see the virtuous and not in a hurry, you will slow it down. There is no urgency for non-virtuous people, and there is no concern for the country. ”

Xu Xianchun has done some homework since he was instructed by Emperor Chongzhen to find the Mo family.

The passage that came out of his mouth was the first paragraph of the opening chapter of Mozi Relatives.

Xu Xianchun said: "When I went to the Royal Academy today, I thought that the Mo family no longer existed in the world, and I also sighed to Lord Xu.

It's just that after hearing Lord Xu say that the heirs of the Mo family are still in Tai'an, His Majesty ordered Xu to come on a starry night. This shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to the Mo family. ”

The old man said curiously: "If the old man agrees to enter Beijing, what kind of treatment can he get?" ”

Xu Xianchun laughed and said: "Didn't Xu just say it, the official position is opened by the old gentleman, and the title can be obtained if you have merit."

Speaking of others, the old gentleman may not know, but Lord Xu is also an old acquaintance, right? Now as the dean of the Royal Academy, when he sees the prince, he does not have to bow down, at most he bows his hand, and there is a seat in front of the Son of Heaven, how about this courtesy?

The old gentleman can rest assured that he is by no means stingy today. As long as it is useful to the Ming Dynasty and is a knight, His Majesty will never be stingy. ”

The old man nodded and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Xu, how will you govern the country today?" Kingcraft? Overbearing? Outer Confucianism and Inner Law? Inner and outer kings? ”

Xu Xianchun pondered for a long time, and he didn't figure out what kind of statecraft Emperor Chongzhen was.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Xianchun decided to repeat Emperor Chongzhen's words as they were, and let the old man figure out the rest.

After thinking about it, Xu Xianchun said: "Xu can't say what strategy Your Majesty uses to govern the country.

Your Majesty's actions have always been unrestrained, but what Your Majesty says, there is nothing that is not successful, and what Your Majesty thinks, there is no one who does not come.

Xu was fortunate enough to listen to His Majesty's lecture for the orphaned young army, and wrote down some of them, perhaps, His Majesty's statecraft is among them. ”

The old man also said with a straight face: "Please give me advice." ”

Xu Xianchun snorted and said, "Your Majesty asked the boys at that time, what is the royal way? What is domineering? Xu wrote down some. ”

It's just that after finishing speaking, Xu Xianchun said with a strange face: "The so-called royal road is that Lin Dan Khan and Jiannu provoked the Ming Dynasty, and they had to find a way to destroy them."

The so-called hegemony means that they must be destroyed regardless of whether they provoke it or not.

As for the way of a gentleman, it is to tell them before destroying them.

The so-called way of the Ming Dynasty is that the barbarians have been doomed to be destroyed since ancient times. ”

After listening to Xu Xianchun's words, the old man couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

Since ancient times, I have never heard of an emperor who explained the royal way in this way.

It's just that Xu Xianchun's words are obviously not finished, and he continued: "If it is said to be an inner saint, it is really worthy of it."

Last year, when there was a great drought in Shaanxi, His Majesty explicitly ordered that not a single person should starve to death of the people, and he pulled out internal funds to buy grain and transport it to Shaanxi, killing many officials who were corrupt and harming the people.

It's just that if you want to say that it is a foreign king, in Xu's foolish opinion, it is not possible. ”

The old man said curiously, "How is that?" ”

Xu Xianchun said entangledly: "Don't talk about the Jiannu side, just on Lin Dan Khan's side, there are more than ten large and small Jingguan, all of which were built by His Majesty's own order." ”

The old man was even more curious.

Since ancient times, this thing has been a declaration of martial arts to deter the enemy, since the Han Dynasty, in fact, there has been very little such a phenomenon of building more than ten Jingguan in a row, and the current emperor really doesn't care about fame?

Although the old man was curious, he skipped this topic and said again: "What about Xu Guangqi?" When today's son attaches great importance to these strange tricks? ”

Xu Xianchun hummed and nodded, "Not bad." The Royal Academy established by His Majesty's decree was led by Lord Xu Guangqi Xu, and most of the research in it was the strange skills and tricks in the mouths of those corrupt Confucians.

If His Majesty ordered the steam engine made by Lord Xu, it would have encountered many problems. It is precisely because of this that His Majesty lamented that it is difficult to find Mozi's heirs in the world. ”

Perhaps it was out of the instinct of the master craftsman, or out of curiosity about the unknown, the three words of the steam engine clearly aroused the old man's interest: "I don't know what this steam engine is?" ”

Xu Xianchun shook his head and said, "Well, Xu Moujie is a martial artist, but it's not good to say." What Xu saw was nothing more than a very large instrument, which only needed to burn carbon and add water, and it could be propelled forward by the steam after the water was boiled.

But in Xu's view, it is quite a waste of water and carbon. That thing just runs at the same speed as a normal person, so what's the use.

It's just His Majesty's intention that in the future, this thing can be used instead of horses to transport materials day and night. ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Xianchun added: "This thing has some similarities with a waterwheel, but it is not quite." Mr. Fellow should watch it after he enters Beijing by himself. ”

The old man nodded and said, "What if the old man doesn't agree again?" ”

When Xu Xianchun heard this, he knew that the old man had already agreed to enter Beijing to join the Royal Academy, so he laughed and said: "Since the old man has agreed, then he will be a colleague with Xu in the future, so don't mention these things." ”

The old man also laughed, but said curiously: "The old man is just curious, and I hope that Lord Xu will solve the old man's doubts." ”

Xu Xian said purifily: "When Xu came, His Majesty only asked Xu to invite the sages to Beijing, as for what if the sages didn't go, His Majesty didn't say.

Don't hide it from the old gentleman, with Xu's understanding of His Majesty, His Majesty is very likely to send other people to persuade the old gentleman.

However, Xu, as His Majesty's eagle dog, would not do this. Xu has already transferred half of the surrounding Jinyi Guards and Tai, if the old gentleman agrees, it will be a strong attack, and you will also be locked into Beijing. ”

The old man was stunned, but it was also expected.

Xu Xianchun, a heavenly eagle dog, has not had a good stubble since ancient times, let alone the famous King Xu Yan.

After the old man pondered for a while, he spoke: "The old man agrees to enter Beijing with Lord Xu, but there is one point, and I hope that Lord Xu can agree." ”

Xu Xianchun nodded and said: "As long as Xu can call the shots, there is naturally no problem." ”

The old man said: "I have been hiding from the world for a long time, and now I have been born suddenly, and there will be many problems in it.

Therefore, the old decay means that the old decay will lead a part of the people to enter Beijing with Lord Xu, and the women, children and the elderly will stay in Tai'an first, and then take them into Beijing after settling down in Beijing? ”

Xu Xianchun snorted and said, "Don't worry, old man, as long as the sages of the Mo family can follow Xu into Beijing, it is okay for the remaining people to stay here." ”

Xu Xianchun knew why the old man brought up such a clause.

It's not that I'm worried that the entire Momen will be wiped out after entering Beijing, but now it can be regarded as leaving a way back.

It's just that the old man is a little uninteresting.

If there really is such a day, not to mention some women, children and old people left here, it is the entire Momen, including their group of martial arts and heroes, is here, and it is not difficult to destroy them.

But in any case, as long as this old man is willing to follow a group of Momen heirs into Beijing with him, it will be considered a good thing. Such a condition is not a condition, and it doesn't matter if you say yes.

The old man suddenly became excited.

From the strong man to the present, thousands of years have passed, and Momen finally has a day to see the light of day.

As for the scum of Confucianism, if they have nothing to do, they will emphasize what retro and what Zhou rituals to play, or they will talk about what relatives and relatives hide from each other, and death is like life, and now there is finally an emperor who does not eat them!

Under the old man's laughter, the sound shook the roof tiles, and Xu Xianchun even felt as if he saw the little tongue in the old man's throat shaking back and forth.

Xu Xianchun had to interrupt the old man's wild laughter - what if this old guy died laughing: "Old man, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's pack up and prepare to enter Beijing?" ”

The old man was also excited in his heart, and said simply: "What is there to clean up?" A group of people should be left to take care of the house, and the rest will let them slowly go to the capital, and let's set off. ”

Sitting, it's better to get up and walk. The old man interpreted this sentence vividly.

It's just that Xu Xianchun muttered to himself in his heart, isn't it what Xunzi said to sit up and walk, why is it that Mozi's disciples and grandchildren are practicing it?

It's just that this old man is also very cute, as long as he enters Beijing, the rest of the things are easy to say.

Xu Xianchun simply stood up and said, "The old gentleman is refreshing, since this is the case, let's set off here?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "Master Xu, sit down first, and later call a few people to enter Beijing with us." ”

When Xu Xianchun sat down, the old man stood up again and ordered his son, who was standing aside and did not make a sound: "Go, call those old immortals, leave your second uncle and third uncle to take care of the house, and the rest will go to Beijing with Lao Tzu." ”

The man who led Xu Xianchun in answered yes, and went out to call the others.

The old man said loudly again: "Son, go and clean up my dinner guy." When I settle down in the capital, I will take you to Beijing to enjoy the blessings. ”

In a nearby room, an old woman was heard answering, followed by the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

After a while, a few more people came in from outside the courtyard one after another, all of whom were about the same age as the old man.

After a while, the old man's son walked in with the last old man.

A few old men who came in later had already heard some things from the man, and after entering the room, they all bowed to Xu Xianchun and called Master Xu.

After everyone was ready, the old man spoke: "The old man brought a few of you here today, just thinking that the big guys would enter Beijing together and join the royal academy. ”

The other old men all knew something, and everyone was led by this old man, so no one raised any objections.

Xu Xianchun arched his hand and said: "Please also ask the old gentleman to introduce Xu?" ”

The old man patted his head and said, "It's old and confused." ”

Then he introduced himself: "The old ink plough is the ninety-fourth generation of Momen. Then he pointed to the old men who came in and introduced them separately.

After Xu Xianchun saluted everyone again, Mo Hua spoke: "Let's set off now?" ”

Xu Xianchun couldn't wait to leave for Beijing as soon as possible, so he immediately said: "Okay, when Xu came, he brought a few carriages, let's set off here." ”

By the time they arrived at the entrance of the village, the number had changed from seven or eight to forty or fifty, and most of them were middle-aged men.

After Mo Hua and a few old men got into Xu Xianchun's carriage first, they got down again.

Xu Xianchun asked curiously, "I don't know what else there are?" ”

Mo Hua pouted and said, "If you take Lord Xu's car to the capital, I'm afraid that this old bone will fall apart." Why don't you please take a ride in the carriage of the old man's house today? ”

Xu Xianchun smiled: "I can't ask for it." ”

Mo Hua then ordered: "Go to the house and set up a big car, let's take that car into Beijing." ”

After the carriage from Mo Hua's house came, Xu Xianchun looked at it, and it was no different from the carriage he brought.

It's just that the old man is so confident, but Xu Xianchun didn't dare to underestimate it, but he just asked Mo Hua and a few people to get in the car first, but he watched from the side.

It's just that when everyone gets on the carriage, the carriage of the Mohua family is different from the trembling of the horse he brought when everyone gets on the bus.

The trembling of the carriage he was carrying was due to the stepping of the crowd when they got on the carriage, causing the front of the carriage to sink downward. The carriage in Mo Hua's house sank down in the middle.

Xu Xianchun secretly said that the so-called organ is probably here, but he can't figure it out.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Xu Xianchun didn't bother to think about it, and after gesturing to the Jinyi Wei Qianhu beside him, he raised his feet and walked to the car.

After the carriage walked forward, Xu Xianchun Ke immediately felt the difference between the two.

Since the location of Tianjiazhuang is not so easy to find, there is no particularly flat official road.

The carriage he brought with him was on such a road, and it was certain that it would be bumpy. If you change someone who is not in good health in the car, I am afraid that it will be able to fall apart.

But although the carriage of the ink plough occasionally tomped, it seemed to have unloaded all the strength, and it was much lighter than the bump of his own car.

Xu Xianchun was surprised in his heart, and asked: "Old man, this carriage is really good, although it looks no different from the carriage brought by Xu, but it is ten times more comfortable to ride." ”

Mo Hua smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just a little trick." As long as you add something to the carriage, you can do it, and when you rest on the road, the old man will let people point it out to Lord Xu. ”

Xu Xianchun was very curious about thaumaturgy, but Mo Hua didn't seem to care, but instead asked: "Lord Xu just said that the Son of Heaven allowed me to spread the doctrine of the sages in Momen, I don't know where to start?" ”

If it is like before, such a small number of disciples are passed down from generation to generation, then it doesn't matter.

But it would be too stupid to disseminate a doctrine on a large scale and then adopt the previous method.

It just so happens that the person in front of him is also the emperor's confidant, so it is better to probe the wind from this mouth first.
