Where there are people, there are chessboards; Where there is a chessboard, people have also become players.

The biggest game of chess in the Yingdu temple is not big, it is not small, and the biggest player is naturally the founder of the Chu Dynasty, Chu Emperor Xiong Ran.

Mu Er, the sage of the Zongheng family, and Miao Sheng, the sage of the peasant family, are also Yishi, smaller than Xiong Ran, the emperor of Chu, and larger than the rest.

The Mul attendant of the Zongheng family is a mysterious old man, and this old man is Dali Taifu Langxuan, or Xuanlang.

Lang Xuan was too mysterious, rarely stayed in the temples of the Li Dynasty, and traveled more often, and even he was proficient in the art of disguise, so that Meng Lan could only speculate on his deeds based on clues.

There is no doubt that Mul is Lang Xuan's protégé, after all, Lang Xuan is the reincarnation of Boqi, whether it is the Taoist way of inaction or the art of vertical and horizontal, or even the peasant doctrine, he is not only dabbling, but also powerful.

Mul followed Lang Xuan to learn the art of vertical and horizontal for three years, and he was a master of power and a careerist.

There are only three countries that can accommodate Muer's power and ambition, one is Song, one is Chu, and one is Lu.

Wu Yue can barely be regarded as a big country, but compared with Song, Chu, and Lu, he lacks stamina.

The Houthis are naturally also a big country, but unfortunately they can only be regarded as reckless men on horseback.

Muer's exit from the mountain is undoubtedly the national strength of the Song State that dominates the world, and even the Lu State is stronger than the Chu State that is waiting to be rebuilt, and Muer only chose Chu.

The Song State was strong because of the presence of Song Xiao, the king of the Song Dynasty, with benevolent and righteous poems in his left hand and swords and soldiers in his right hand. The wise Mul had a great vision, and he saw two crises hidden in the shadow of the Song state's strength.

The first crisis is Song Xiao's ten sons, and the sons are incompetent. Song Xiao is not small, once Song Xiao is not there, there will be no successor to Song Guo, no one can take charge of Song Guo's chessboard, and no one can control Song Guo's chariot.

The second crisis is that the Song country has a great cause, and the most important thing is talent. Even if I go to the Song Kingdom, I am afraid that I will not be able to reuse it, at most I will receive an idle job, like a mascot.

So Muer first excluded the Song state.

As for the state of Lu, the country of Lu is a traditional power. Tradition means decay, especially the incompetent King Lu Chai Kao, who wandered under the inaction of Taishi Yin Yin and the lure of Song Xiao. Chai Kao is too contradictory, he follows the Taoist sage Yin Yin's Huang Laozhi as a guideline, and is bent on doing nothing; But he couldn't resist Song Xiao's temptation, and finally joined forces with Song Xiao to destroy Xiao and Qi.

So Muer didn't choose Lu Guo.

Chu is a good place to go, the young and promising Xiong Ran has the appearance of a king in the world, he can grow into one of the best warriors in the world, but he lacks a person who is in charge of the overall situation for him.

What's more, the state of Chu is located in a remote area, and he wears the hat of the relics of the previous dynasty, so the sages and sages avoid it.

The Zongheng family is a power sorcerer and a conspirator, so Mu Er went to Chu after weighing it.

Mu Er miscalculated, he didn't expect that it was not the sage of the Central Plains who became the enemy of his life, nor the local nobles of the Chu State, but an old farmer who had spent most of his life doing nothing and once penetrated the mysteries of the farmer.

When Mu Er first arrived in Yingdu, Xiong Ran admired him, and he was already familiar with internal affairs from governing the country and the people to governing the army, and from Song Lu of the Li Dynasty to Wu Yue.

Xiong Ran can also listen to it, a king with the ambition of the king and a saint with foresight coincide.

The seedlings are back, and they have come back from the cultivation of good varieties in Osawa. In three years, the real estate of Chu State has gone from being the most backward to being three times the richest land in Wuyue and twice as rich as the fertile land in Yuzhou.

The great merit made Miao Sheng not only equal to him, but even suppressed him.

Mu Er can't stand this kind of grievance, he is in the prime of life, and his edge is exposed, Miao Sheng is like a ball of soft cotton, and he is also soft when he punches it.

There were three martial artists standing behind Miao Sheng, and Mu Er was terrified.

The first is the husband who followed Miao Sheng to Daze to breed, this husband came back from Daze and was reborn, and he even overwhelmed Jingchu Wufu and climbed to the realm of Wusheng.

The second is a woman brought back by her husband, who has also grown into a first-class general, her name is Du Ruo, heroic and beautiful.

The third is the Sanmiao Ren Lichen, an assassin with no long skills, who was also reborn and became the first person under Jing Chu's indispensable husband's mistake.

Xiong Ran abolished the Three Princes and Six Ministers and then established the Three Princes, the first one was naturally the sage Mu Er of the Zongheng family, who worshiped the national teacher and had a prominent status, that is, Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, had to shout a wooden master when he saw it. The second is the peasant saint Miao, who worships as the great Si Nong, and Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, has to consult him in every detail. The third place is Jing Chu's overlord husband's mistake, relying on the one-handed overlord marksmanship to sweep Jing Chu, climbing the martial saint end, so not prominent.

Muer has always looked down on Miao, just because Miao has been a three-Miao farmer who doesn't even deserve a name for most of his life.

Miao Sheng has no legendary experience, just like he has been plowing paddy fields all his life, and he has not seen Jiahe who cultivates one plant, one seedling and two ears.

The only thing to be commended for is that he picked up a daughter who was very good, but unfortunately Muer only gave birth to two daughters.

-for-tat, since they are all players on the chessboard of Yingdu, they naturally have to be divided into superior and inferior, which is not only a temple dispute, but also an academic dispute, or a battle of will, but the two of them don't know whether it is the same dispute.

Xiong Ran's attitude was very subtle, he let Mu'er and Miao argue, rarely interfered, only occasionally felt that there was an imbalance of power, and tried not to leave a trace.

Xiong Ran is a wise monarch, and he is well versed in the art of the emperor. The temple dispute between Muer and Miao Sheng was unbalanced after the Wujiang gambling battle, and without the support of the great general Fu Cuo and the general Du Ruo of Zhengnan, Miao Sheng was weak.

Muer and Miao Sheng's political views are contrary, Muer advocates both soft and hard attack and land expansion, and Miao Sheng advocates raising the people and reassuring the people.

Seven or eight out of ten of the nobles of the temple are standing behind Muer, most of them are descendants of Nanjing, they are descendants of Xuanniao, and they are descendants of Yu Zhi.

The dispute between the Xuanyao and the giant for thousands of years, the first 600 years was the Xuanniao nesting on the top of the giant's head, and the last 500 years was the giant's foot on the Xuanniao.

The dispute between Jing Chu and the Central Plains is a thousand-year dispute between the descendants of Xuanniao and the descendants of giants.

The ancestor of the Li Dynasty, Shao Xu, ended the rule of the last king of the Yu Dynasty, Yu Xu, and Shao Xi mercifully sent the prince of the Yu Dynasty to the tiger and leopard rampant, poisonous miasma, and thorny Nanjing Liguo, which had already bought the seeds of disputes.

The seeds of this dispute have been taking root in the Lile Era, and finally sprouted after being trampled on by the Central Plains Kingdom repeatedly in the Overlord Era, and when it came to the dark and turbulent era, it frantically absorbed nutrients and grew into a towering tree.

From King Chu Ling to Xiong Ran, the State of Chu has gone through seven generations, generations of Ming Jun, all of them are trying to survive in the cracks.

The six ancestors left Xiong Ran a small family business, whether it was Xiong Ran, the king of Chu or the nobles of the temple, they all wanted to win the Central Plains all the time.

Miao Sheng is too cowardly, or the pattern is too small, he only focuses on Jing Chu's chessboard; Mul has a visionary vision, and he has long wanted to set foot in the world in this game of chess.

Therefore, seven or eight out of ten of the nobles of Yingdu are standing behind Muer, but unfortunately they are too stupid, they don't know how to hibernate.

Xiong Ran has a calm temperament, this is other people's opinion, Mu Er thinks that Xiong Ran is an impatient person, he always tries to ask Mu Er without a trace if he can do great things, Mu Er always refuses.

Mul is waiting, waiting for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He tried, but failed, after the death of the wine son of the Luoyi School Palace, he tried to enter the Luoyi School Palace, but was embarrassed and fled by Zou Gu, who was also a member of the Zongheng family.

Mu Er didn't know where Zou Gu learned the art of vertical and horizontal, Mu Er didn't know that he and Zou Gu both learned the art of vertical and horizontal from Lang Xuan, but unfortunately Zou Gu learned it for ten years, and he only learned it for three years.

Muer is waiting for the Song Kingdom to break down, as long as Song Xiao falls, there will be no one in the Song Kingdom to play this game of chess; As long as Song Xiao falls, no one can control Song Guo's chariot calmly.

When Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, asked Muer about the general trend of the world, Muer calmly replied.

"Wu Yue is in the same room, he can add fuel to the fire and fan the flames."

So Xiong Ran took great pains to add fuel to the fire and fan the flames, and the dispute between Wu Yue and his roommate became more and more intense.

"Song Xiao is not dead, and he is not hegemonic."

So Xiong Ran repeatedly sent Mu Er to the Song Kingdom with Chu Di to condole, which was not only close to him, but also had the intention of investigating Song Xiao.

"Instead of competing with Song, it is better to retreat as advance."

Xiong Ran suddenly realized, so he gave up his son-in-law Zhilan and married Song Xiao's daughter-in-law Qiaoyu.

This is the most satisfying son of Mull, if it were not for some unpleasantness that happened later.

"Liangzhou is a small country, and you can take advantage of salt water and spring salt."

So Xiong Ran crusaded against Liangzhou five times.

This is the worst son of Mull.

The state of Chu has lost too much in Liangzhou, it is not an ordinary soldier, the general's husband is wrongly damaged, and there are several in the four expeditions and four towns, Gongsun Lin, Gongsun Ji, Gongsun Xiu, Zhenbei General Jing Se, and Zhengxi General Teng Yun.

This kind of price has never been seen since Xiong Ran succeeded to the throne, and I am afraid that except for Song Chu, there is no country to squander.

Mu Er is a smart person, and so is Xiong Ran, so it is easy for smart people to communicate with each other. Since the imbalance of power in the temple, Xiong Ran began to intervene in the temple dispute undisguised, he is the king of Chu, so he naturally wants to maintain the balance of the temple. Mu Er is a saint, he knows Xiong Ran's bottom line, so he will not easily touch Xiong Ran's bottom line.

Xiong Ran is not a gambler, but he has gambled with Muer no less than ten times. Nine out of ten bets were lost, it was deliberate, Mu Er looked at it, so he also knew how to stop in moderation, he was still wrong.

After Jiang Wangshu and Fu Wujiang gambled on Wujiang, Xiong Ran and Mu Er gambled for the first time on whether the Song State would invade Liangzhou again. Xiong Ran's bet is that Mu Er has no choice but to bet no, the bet is not big, of course, it is not big for Mu Er, after all, there are not many people who can eat the three cities and the world.

Xiong Ran lost as a matter of course, Mu Er didn't dare to exchange the Three Cities Mining, he already had the Three Cities, and he didn't dare to ask for more.

Mur knows how to stop in moderation, he has already obtained everything except the throne, beautiful women and concubines, fiefdoms, and positions of power......

Xiong Ran gambled on whether Jiang Wangshu would go to Phoenix City and Muer, Xiong Ran bet no, Muer had to bet.

Jiang Wangshu came, and rode alone into Phoenix City. Xiong Ran still lost the bet.

Xiong Ran gambled with Mu Er again, betting on whether Jiang Jue, the idiot who became famous and living in Quanguan, would be stupid to come to Yingdu, Xiong Ran would not bet, Mu Er had to bet.

That idiot really came, Xiong Ran lost again.

Xiong Ran was tired of this and still had to bet with Muer, Yingdu Royal Horse Racecourse, he used a family matter as a bet to bet that Jiang Jue's dark horse would win, and Muer had to bet on the Wild Horse King.

Mu Er felt that Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, was deliberately giving himself a family affair, and he could also have an explanation with his disciple Qin Mengting. After all, the Wild Horse King is one of the three best horses in the world, and Jiang Jue's dark horse is much weaker than it is.

The Mustang King frothed at the mouth after reaching the finish line in less than twenty steps, and Xiong Ran won. Mu Er trembled, and waited until he returned to the mansion before he said to his disciple Qin Mengting: "Don't fight Miao Miao again."

Mu Er couldn't see through Xiong Ran for the first time, who didn't know the temperament of Song Xiao, the king of Song, and Xiong Ran, the king of Chu. Song Xiao pays a lot of attention, so the Song State has 100 rich cities with thousands of miles of fertile soil, so the Song State has 100 people with 100 heroes.

Xiong Ran pays attention to being good, so women want the most beautiful in the world, and Mrs. Song Qiaoyu has the appearance of a sinking fish, which is naturally the best; Therefore, the military generals want the best in the world, and the 800,000 heroes of Chu Guoxiong stand out only the four expeditions and four towns, and after the death of the general, Xiong Ran does not stand up, and the general is only waiting for a martial saint; It's a horse, and there is only one wild horse king in a huge horse farm, and the rest of Xiong Ran really can't look down on it.

Xiong Ran was even willing to give up the Wild Horse King, Mu Er felt that he couldn't see through it, he tried his best to think about whether there was anything wrong with him in the past three years, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, maybe it was an illusion.

Xiong Ran bet again on whether Jiang Wangshu would take the bait, this time Mu Er learned to be obedient, he asked to bet first, bet on it or not, Xiong Ran had to bet yes.

Mul thought he was doing what he liked, but unfortunately he made a mistake.

Mu Er should have guessed that the Wild Horse King was just a plaything kept in captivity in the deep palace, and the residual value could only die.

Mu Er should have guessed it a long time ago, just like when he told Xiong Ran that he could do great things, he vaguely said that Miao Sheng would oppose it, and then Miao Sheng died.

The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.

This was the last lesson that the white-haired old man taught to Mul, but unfortunately Mul realized it too late.

In the second year of the new calendar, August.

Mrs. Song Qiaoyu took her young son to die in the water, and Muer finally understood that "the birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. ”

He took his disciple Qin Mengting to Jizhou, and also heard the news of the tragic death of his family.

Xiong Ran's last thing to see is the Zongheng family, the Zongheng family, the conspirator, the careerist, and the power sorcerer.

Mu Er was glad that he understood it in time, but it was still too late, half of Kyushu was the world of the Chu Dynasty, where could he go?

Mu Er died, at the hands of his disciple Qin Mengting, at the hands of Qin Mengting, whom he regarded as his heir.

Qin Mengting was still young, and Muer had never taught him "Fly all the birds, hide the good bow; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks", he doesn't understand.

Qin Mengting was canonized, not only canonized, but also respected as the first saint in the world.

Miao, three Miao people, most of their lives are plain and bland, it is really not worth wasting pen and ink. The only commendable thing is the time when Miao Sheng and Jiang Jue got along.

The idiot Jiang Jue was designed to be abducted to Yingdu, and then placed in Miao Sheng's mansion, this is what Mu Er meant, he wanted to test Xiong Ran's bottom line.

Xiong Ran allowed it, Xiong Ran was calm on the surface, but he was actually very impatient, and he even couldn't wait to do something big and become a hegemon.

In the past, the state of Chu was not strong, so Xiong Ran liked the idea of Miao Sheng raising the people and the people, but now it is different, the country of Chu is three thousand miles wide, and there are 800,000 soldiers, he wants to reproduce the glory of Yu Zhi's ancestors and create the hegemony of Kyushu.

Miao Sheng is old, he has no residual value, and even that old bone will hinder the pace of the chariot of the Chu State.

It's a pity that Mu Er made a mistake, he guessed that Jiang Jue would be angry and kill Miao Sheng, and he also guessed that Miao Sheng would not treat Jiang Jue well, but he didn't guess that Miao Sheng treated Jiang Jue as his own.

Mu Er didn't guess much, just as he didn't guess that the temple dispute between him and Miao Sheng was actually a dispute between the same family, and he didn't guess that Jiang Jue was the descendant of the old man who taught him.

As soon as Jiang Jue entered Yingdu, he pretended to be crazy and stupid, Miao Sheng saw through it, and he didn't say anything, he tentatively asked Jiang Jue's thoughts.

Jiang Jue was cautious, walking on thin ice, he couldn't guess Miao Sheng's thoughts, and said perfunctorily: "What kind of mind does the kid have, it is an honor to be appreciated by the King of Chu, and it is also an honor to be favored by Miao Sheng."

Jiang Jue didn't know what Miao Sheng was thinking, so he could only be perfunctory. He has already determined to pretend to be crazy and stupid, so naturally he will not be exposed easily.

"Childe has deceived the old man again, in fact, if it weren't for Childe's intervention, Miao'er would either marry Zhai Zhuang or Qin Mengting." Miao Sheng knew that he was concerned about his granddaughter. Miao Sheng has no heirs in his life, and he only has a granddaughter Miao Miao who was picked up.

Compared with Qin Mengting, Lao Yu admires Zhai Zhuang more, and the young man should be casual and not thoughtful. Miao Sheng saw in his eyes that Jiang Jue's mind was no shallower than Qin Mengting's, no matter how good Jiang Jue's heart was, his disguise in front of Miao Sheng was in vain. Miao Sheng said that governing the people is governing the peasants, how could he not know the hearts of the people?

Jiang Jue sighed, he was still too young, so he no longer hid in front of Miao Sheng, he said: "Miao Sheng thinks that the kid is too heavy-minded? Boy, this is also a helpless move. ”

Entering the depths of Yingdu by mistake, isn't it just helpless? The slightest carelessness can lead to a desperate situation, and it will even implicate others, such as Jiang Hou.

Miao Sheng didn't care about Jiang Jue's cover-up, and Jiang Jue also knew a rough idea, such as reading the Six Arts Sutra every day, and saving hundreds of thousands of Li people in Huoquan Pass before he became famous. Ke's ambition is more subtle, he wants to shoulder the word morality, and he also wants to pick up Li Min. The young man's shoulders are too immature and his hands are small, how can he pick up the word morality, and how can he afford to hold up all sentient beings?

Is it so easy to carry the word morality on your shoulders and hold all living beings in your hands?

Jiang Jue glanced at the old man in front of him, after all, he was an old man who had lived to be seventy years old, although he had spent most of his life tinkering in the paddy fields, but how could he have seen more than a young man like Jiang Jue? The fact that he saved hundreds of thousands of Qi people in Huoquan Pass does not need to be explained, and everyone can see it, but just from the Six Arts Sutra, it can be seen that he wants to shoulder morality, how sharp is his vision? "The kid just likes to read and write, where dare he say that he wants to pick up the word morality."

"Do you recognize Shi and Zhao Miao?" Shi and Zhao Miao had already looked for Miao Sheng, and naturally revealed the details.

Shi and Zhao Miao don't have much friendship, and they were forcibly stuffed by Xuanlang, Jiang Jue naturally won't admit that he has anything to do with them, otherwise these two people are captured by the Chu people, and I am afraid that they will also suffer an unwarranted disaster.

"Do you know the saint Xuanlang? Or is it Da Li Taifu Langxuan? Miao Sheng continued to ask.

"Yes." Jiang Jue gave a rather reluctant answer.

"Just heard?" Miao Sheng asked.

Jiang Jue nodded, he was a little surprised why Miao Sheng knew the fact that Xuan Lang was Lang Xuan, but he was not sure about Miao Sheng's attitude, so he didn't dare to mess with the relationship.

"Childe is still deceiving the old man," Miao Sheng said, "The old man is no longer playing dumb riddles with the child, the old man was just an ordinary farmer in Daze to select good seeds, and then I was fortunate to meet Lord Lang, Lord Lang instructed me not only to think about things in the field, but also to worry about things on the ground." Nature in the field is a matter of agriculture, and what is on the ground is a matter of the world. Later, the old man was fortunate to realize the Tao in the field, so that he could walk to this Yingdu temple. Lao Yu has already seen Zhao Miao and Shishi, and the identity of the son is not simple, so the son just talks about his thoughts, and the old man naturally supports it. ”

Jiang Jue was thinking about it, and he believed it, because Xuanlang is Lang Xuan was very hidden, and there were not many people who knew about it. He also did not dare to believe it all, and it was foolish to leave his fate in the hands of others.

Miao Sheng has been open and honest, Jiang Jue is still unmoved, Miao Sheng feels that it is not like words, he has to throw out his hole cards: "Qi Guanzhuang will not come back if he goes this time."

He looked at Jiang Jue's eager face without surprise, and continued: "Don't worry, the old man will naturally keep him safe and sound, and your wife, if you are willing to go out of the city, you should do your best."

"What if the kid wants to get out of the city?" Jiang Jue panicked for a moment, and quickly calmed down.

"The old man doesn't dare to say that he can keep his son out of the city, but he can ensure that his son is safe and sound." Miao Sheng saw Jiang Jue let down his guard, and after weighing it, he gave an answer.

"If the prince doesn't believe it, you can send her out of the city today," Miao Sheng swore an oath, "The old man guarantees with his life, if he can't get out of the city, the son can raise a sword and kill the old man." ”

"Okay." Jiang Jue nodded, he had planned to let the two of them go out of the city first, and then find a chance to escape by himself, after all, Jing Qijun and Qi Guanzhuang's force was still a little lacking, and sometimes one more person was not an extra strength, but a little more burdensome.

Miao Sheng is one of the top two and three in Yingdu, and the number one is naturally Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, who instructed Miao Miao and Jing Qijun to go together to find Qiguanzhuang, so as to send Qiguanzhuang away.

Miao Sheng is one of the best in Yingdu, whether it is the national teacher Muer or the king of Chu, they are not blind, and the departure of the two living people is naturally in their eyes.

"Miao'er, you and Gongzi will be more affectionate, don't be ashamed." Miao Sheng said that he had already made a plan, and it was easy to deal with the king of Chu.

Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, and Mu'er, the national teacher, both came, and the rechen was naturally there. Mu Er asked, "I saw Miao Miao and Jing Qijun leaving together before, why did they come back alone?" And what about the reckless man? ”

Miao Sheng arched his hand and said to the king of Chu: "Your Majesty, how can the granddaughter of the old minister say that she will serve a husband with others, so the old minister scattered some money and let the two leave. ”

Miao Sheng is not unreasonable, no matter how many wives and four concubines are, it depends on the person, what is Jiang Jue's identity? What is Miao Miao's identity?

Miao Miao walked out of the house with Jiang Jue in her arms and saluted the King of Chu. Jiang Jue still looked stupid and stupid, a daughter-in-law, so ashamed that Miao Miao couldn't raise her head.

"Well, that's the case," Xiong Ran said, "Let's get engaged tomorrow first, and then move to the palace, after all, Miao'er is also my daughter now." ”

Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, is also generous, after all, Miao Miao can be regarded as his daughter.

"Thank you Miao Sheng." Jiang Jue was grateful to Miao Sheng from the bottom of his heart, Jing Qijun and Qi Guanzhuang were not there, and he had no worries and could let go of his hands and feet. As for the engagement, Jiang Jue didn't take it to heart, it was just an expedient measure.

Miao Sheng guessed Jiang Jue's thoughts and instructed: "Don't act rashly in the near future, I'm afraid the king will be watching it now." ”

Jiang Jue nodded, he spared his life, and he would definitely not take risks unless he had to. He was curious about what means Miao Sheng used to send Jing Qijun and Qi Guan out of the city.

Miao Sheng is also one of the top three in Yingdu, and he still has this ability, whether it is the wealthy businessman Shen Bu or Shi Shi and Zhao Miao, they are all a big help.

Jiang Jue sighed, there are more and more people who owe it, first they owe Xuanlang, and now they owe Miao Sheng. He doesn't like to owe favors, owes too much, and can't afford to pay it back.

"Tomorrow, if you are engaged, you will get engaged, if the son likes Miao'er, you can treat it well in the future, if you don't like it, it doesn't matter." Miao Sheng left with a word, leaving Jiang Jue incomprehensible. Jiang Jue suddenly felt that things were a little out of his control, it was just a scene, but now he had to fake it.

Miao Sheng was more interested in Jiang Jue's desire to shoulder morality and hold Li Min in his hands. Miao Sheng is already seventy years old, he is as old as a rotten tree, and he may fall down at any time without the wind blowing.

Jiang Jue replied truthfully: "The kid never thought of shouldering morality and holding all the people in his hands. ”

Jiang Jue had a cold and bleak reckless heart, and there were very few people he cared about.

"Whoever gave me a name, I regard him as a teacher and a disciple, and I will definitely remember the teachings of my husband."

"The one who gave me the surname, I regard him as a father, a child, and naturally I am concerned about the good of my husband."

Jiang Jue's shoulders are a little tenderer, and his palms are smaller, where can he dare to say that he is moral on his shoulders and Li Min in his hands?

"How do you know if you can't do it yet? There are some things that people always have to do, and there are people who do them, such as Mr. Meng in your mouth, such as Jiang Hou, and then the one on the mountain. Miao Sheng became more and more satisfied with Jiang Jue, and always felt that entrusting Miao Miao to him was a good destination.

"What about Miao Sheng?" Jiang Jue was too young, and he stumped Miao Sheng with a question.

"I am old and incompetent, I can only crawl in the paddy fields, and now I am old and can't even do this little thing." Miao Sheng is obviously modest, how can he be incompetent to raise two million households and tens of millions of Li people in Jingchu?

Jiang Jue was still young, he was not sensible, he continued to ask: "If someone has to do it, why does it have to be Mr. Meng, it must be Jiang Hou?"

Miao Sheng didn't answer, Jiang Jue continued to ask: "Although the kid has never been to the Chu State before, but Miao Sheng's demeanor and kid have also heard of it, since he can raise two million households in Chu Land, why can't he raise the people of Kyushu in the world?"

Miao Sheng didn't answer, his eyes were full of the wisdom of the world, which reminded Jiang Jue of the wise Ah Er.

Before coming to Yingdu, in Pakistan or in Qidi, all Jiang Jue saw were Li people who were hungry and unclothed. When he came to Yingdu, he opened his eyes, the fish soup from the five lakes is so delicious, it is simply a delicacy in the world. But this is the delicacies in the world, and he eats them all. What a delicious fish soup from the five lakes, but unfortunately it tastes like chewing wax, he remembered that in Qidi, in Huoquanguan, what did the township brave soldiers who spontaneously formed by the Qi people eat? There were 30,000 people, and the supply of grain and grass could not keep up, so they could only cut the roots of the grass and cut the bark of the trees.

Jiang Jue had no concept of money, and Jiang Hou was in charge of all expenses when he accompanied Jiang Hou, and he used to go to Bayang with Ah Wu to sell timber, fish, herbs and deer skins to earn a little money, and gave it all to Minnie Mouse in Lanpu. Not long ago, I earned a full 900 sword coins on a trip with the Lu family's caravan, and ordinary people may not be able to earn this number in their lifetime. But these 900 sword coins are not enough to eat 30,000 people for a day, Jiang Jue can't help but think, there are so many troops in the world, how many people will die in this battle, and how much food will they have to eat.

Jiang Jue remembered the old bandit Ah Er of Bashan, Ah Er was full of wisdom, and he talked to Jiang Jue about the obscure and mysterious question of the sky, the earth and the grain.

"The wisdom of the sky, the earth, and the grain?" Miao Sheng read it with interest, obviously very interested.

Regarding the sky, Ah Er said: "There are many stars in the sky, which are changed by man. The stars in the sky represent the will of man and are the most wonderful wisdom. If there is a good one, it is called Lile; If there is something bad, it is called conspiracy. ”

Regarding the earth, Ah Er said: "The earth is divided into four seas and eight wildernesses, and it has been transformed into Kyushu, and the earth is inhabited by people, we are called Li Min, and it is divided into many people of Song, Chu, and Ba. When there are more people, there will be war, some people choose to conquer, and some people choose to defend. ”

Regarding millet, Ah Er said: "Millet is naturally raised, and people are children of millet, so people are also born to raise." I heard that there are one seedling and two ears of grass in the world, and both ears are called Jiahe, and I don't know what to call one seedling and one barnyard grass. ”

Miao Shengxin happily surrendered his hand and said, "I have been taught."

He entrusted Jiang Jue to toast Ah Er for him, but unfortunately Ah Er died.

Miao Sheng said regretfully: "The sky represents the ruler and represents the power, so the biggest ruler of Kyushu in the world is called the Son of Heaven; The earth carries the hope of the Li people, which was given to the Li people by the ruler to grow grains; The cultivation of grains by the Li people naturally belongs to the rulers. ”

"Miao Sheng, the kid doesn't approve of it," Jiang Jue said, "In the world of life, why should there be a distinction between the noble and the low, and the difference between the noble and the inferior?" They all eat grains, and of course, the so-called rulers may only eat minced meat and not vegetables. But we are all born between heaven and earth, so why can't we achieve equality and peace? ”

Miao Sheng was speechless.

"The benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, loyalty, and filial piety that Mr. Meng taught me cannot achieve the unity of the world, but it is a spiritual contract; Jiang Hou taught me to practice swords, taught me to govern the army, I can't afford to fight, but I can protect one side at best. The kid can't afford to shoulder the heavy responsibility of morality and the people, he just wants everyone in the world to be equal, harmonious and eternal. ”

Miao Sheng was impressed by the young man in front of him, or he was ashamed of himself. Mr. Meng, Meng Lan is holding a book of poetry, poetry books can educate people, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, loyalty, filial piety and eight words are not a spiritual contract that can make everyone in the world equal? Jiang Hou Jiang Wangshu is holding a sword in his hand, how can the words protecting the family and defending the country and protecting the Li people not be the same place where the Li people will no longer suffer from war?

Jiang Jue picked up Meng Lan's poetry book, and also picked up Jiang Wangshu's sword, and even boasted that Haikou wanted everyone in the world to be equal and live in harmony and eternal prosperity. Is it really open-mouthed and vainly open the sea? Some things have to be done.

"The old man is dying and dying, these seventy years have really been in vain," Miao Sheng bowed to Jiang Jue and said, "The son has great ambitions, farsightedness, and a pure heart, and the old man admires him." ”

Miao Sheng is convinced, the more he gets along with Jiang Jue, the more satisfied he is, Jiang Jue has a far-sightedness far beyond his peers and even far beyond eight or nine out of ten people in the world.

Miao Sheng was willing to help Jiang Jue, but for the sake of Xuanlang's face, Xuanlang's preaching received the grace of karma to solve doubts, and he could only return it to Jiang Jue. The older a person gets, the older he becomes. So he promised to try his best to help Jiang Jue escape from Yingdu, try his best, and have a lot of exquisiteness, which can be said to be very strong, or it can be said to be a modest effort.

Inheriting Xuanlang's favor, Miao Sheng's modest efforts are enough. But now Miao Sheng has changed his mind, and he has to do his best.

It's going to change, and the black clouds are overwhelming. It's going to change, and the world is in turmoil.

"Childe, Miao'er, you can take it away, it's okay to be a servant girl if you can't give a name," Miao Sheng became more and more satisfied with Jiang Jue, seeing that Jiang Jue wanted to refuse, he was not very happy, and hurriedly said, "Childe, don't be busy refusing first, the old and old are too old to use, and the ability to cultivate good seeds has been passed on to Miao'er, and Childe will always have a useful day." Besides, the old decay is about to die, I'm afraid that one of her daughters' family has no one to entrust in Ying, since the son cares about the people of the world, then Miao'er's life and death are in your hands. ”

Miao Sheng has only picked up this granddaughter in his life, and he gave all his love to Miao Miao. People, when they are old, they always worry about their descendants, and no matter how old Miao Sheng is, he is not exempt from vulgarity.

Jiang Jue sighed, where is the old and decaying, obviously living a human spirit. However, this can be regarded as Miao Sheng's instructions, Jiang Jue has to help no matter what, after all, whether he can escape from Yingdu still depends on Miao Sheng. As for Miao Miao, Jiang Jue had a plan in her heart, if she could take her out of Yingdu, she would find a good family for her.

"What about you, Miao Sheng?" Jiang Jue said worriedly. He felt that Miao Sheng seemed to be entrusting the future, and the price of saving himself from Yingdu was probably so great that even this peasant saint and the three princes of one country could not bear it.

Miao Sheng looked light and breezy, and Jiang Jue knew that his heart was treacherous. He shook his head and said, "Miao Sheng, forget it, the kid will find a chance to escape by himself."

Jiang Jue's cold and rough reckless heart has melted, his heart is very soft, since he wants to implicate others, he really can't do it. Besides, it's not a dead realm, it's just a Yingdu, can the young man kill people in Jiangcheng and return to a Yingdu? It's a big deal to make trouble again in Yingdu.

Yingdu Xiaobawang can make Yingdu restless, not to mention Jiang Jue, who can suppress Xiaobawang?

"The old man is a dying skin, what is the honor to be able to do something for the son," Miao Sheng said, "The young man can be a young man to pick morality, and he can wear the stars and the moon to take the people." ”

Jiang Jue trembled, but the blue wisps of the road can pick up morality on his shoulders, and he can wear the stars and the moon to hold the people in his hands.

From Yu Zhi, the ancestor of the Yu family, to Gao Xin, the ancestor of Nanjing, and then to the ancestor of Chu Lingwang, the blue wisps of the road to enlighten the mountains and forests, wear the stars and the moon to the mountains and seas, and it took six generations of Ming Jun to leave Xiong Ran this family business.

Now the young man still has nothing, the road is blue to provoke morality, and the stars and the moon are worn to take the people, can he?

"Miao Sheng, the kid really doesn't want to implicate others, because I'm afraid of implicating Jiang Hou, so I want to escape from Yingdu, and let the kid implicate Miao Sheng, I'm afraid that the kid will have to spend the rest of his life in guilt." Jiang Jue told him frankly that Miao Sheng was very stubborn, Jiang Jue was also very stubborn, and neither of them was someone who gave in easily.

"If the son feels guilty, you can give Miao'er a name, okay, it's not early, there is business tomorrow, the son can rest." Miao Sheng said without doubt, Jiang Jue was not allowed to speak, he closed the door and left, this seventy-year-old saint was too old to stand on his feet, he was too old.

Miao Sheng was too old, and he tried his best to finally fail to send Jiang Jue out. He underestimated how much Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, cared about Jiang Jue, and also underestimated the competitiveness of the national teacher Muer.

Miao Sheng was finally willing to return to his hometown without warning. He trembled and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is too old to be used, and I ask the king to give permission to return to his hometown." ”

The hall was full of shock, and if you looked at Miao Sheng carefully, he was indeed old, as old as a cracked piece of land, as old as the bark of an old pine tree.

Mu Er suddenly sighed a little, he and Miao Sheng had been fighting for ten years, and suddenly there was no opponent and there was some sadness for the rabbit and the fox.

Miao Sheng is old, this nameless, surnameless, fatherless, motherless, and childless Miao Sheng is finally old, this Miao Sheng, who has worked in the paddy fields for most of his life, is finally old, and this Miao Sheng, who has fed two million households in Jingchu, is finally old.

Muer shook his head, he suddenly felt a little unbearable. Xiong Ran was moved, two tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, he came down to personally help Miao Sheng to sit down, and arched his hand and said: "Miao Sheng, Ran can't live without you, Ran asks Miao Sheng to stay for a few more days." ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister is already seventy years old, and he is content to live to this age, Miao'er has a place to be content, and he is content to be able to do something within his power for the Chu State" Miao Sheng was obviously decided, he said, "The old minister has made up his mind, and please don't blame the king." ”

Without warning, even yesterday Miao Sheng said to Jiang Jue that he would return to his hometown in a few days.

"Ran Bai sent Miao Sheng." Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, no longer held back, and said loudly.

The nobles of the Manchu Dynasty bowed their hands and shouted: "Bow to Miao Sheng." ”

"I also ask Miao Sheng to retire in Yingdu, and Ran can ask for advice from time to time." Xiong Ran arched his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, the fallen leaves always want to return to their roots, and where the old minister comes from, he wants to go back." Miao Sheng said. Obviously, he does not want to stay in Yingdu to retire, he wants to return to his homeland. The homeland is naturally the land of three seedlings, and it did not give him the land of three seedlings of warmth. Well, the older you get, the more you miss the taste of your homeland.

"Luen, Borage." Xiong Ran shouted.

"Your Majesty is here." The White Deer King, Lu En and Ren Chen, replied in unison.

"Send Miao Sheng back to Sanmiao, and there is no half-point difference pool." Xiong Ran said. The White Deer King Lu En and the Erchen are both Sanmiao people, although the Sanmiao has completely surrendered since the surrender of the White Deer King, Xiong Ran is still not at ease.

Mu Er smacked his lips, he was thinking that if he retired in the future, how would the battle compare to Miao Sheng?

The three of them are all Sanmiao, and the three of them hold up half of the sky in Chu State. This is Xiong Ran's clever way, only talent is used, whether it is the Chu people or the previous Nanzhao people, Nanyang people, or Sanmiao people, Baiyue people, as long as they can bring a stitch to the Chu country, Xiong Ran will not be treated badly.

This was Miao Sheng's last idea, he wanted to send Jiang Jue out of Yingdu. Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, was so shrewd, how could he not guess Miao Sheng's thoughts, so he said, "But Commander Jiang can't accompany him, he wants to go to Luoyi to attend the meeting, and Commander Jiang naturally wants to accompany him." ”

Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, refused to make people unable to find out the thorns, he wanted to go to Luoyi to attend the meeting, so he naturally selected some generals to follow, such as Feng Su, the commander of Yingdu, the general of Zhenxi, Zhai Zhuang, the little overlord of Yingdu, and Jiang Jue, the commander of the Yingdu Praetorian Guard.

Xiong Ran led the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty to squeeze the courtyard inside and outside the courtyard. Miao Sheng packed his luggage and came out, only a cane, and nothing else.

Miao Sheng looked at this mansion with a memory, he always misses the old when he is old, he has lived in this mansion for many years, and he is reluctant to leave.

The three dukes of the dignified Chu State did not have a penny, there was not a single treasure, and some were just a crutch.

Yingdu, avenue.

Miao Sheng left under the gaze of the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, accompanied by Borage, Lu En, the king of the white deer, and Miao Miao. Xiong Ran led the nobles of Yingdu to see them off all the way, and the people of Yingdu gathered on both sides of the road.

"Greetings to Miao Sheng."

"Greetings to Miao Sheng."

"Greetings to the ...... of Miao Sheng"

The carriage walked step by step, and the entire Yingdu, without exception, from Xiong Ran, the king of Chu, to the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, to the wealthy businessmen and magnates, and then to ordinary people, all gathered on the road from the royal city to the west city gate, which was the only way for Miao Sheng to return home.

Xiong Ran sent it to the West City Gate and said, "Ran Bai sent Miao Sheng." ”

Miao Sheng got out of the car and whispered to Jiang Jue: "Jue, you want to carry morality with your shoulders, and you want to wear the stars and the moon to hold the people with your hands, the young man's shoulders are not tender, and his palms are not small." ”

Jiang Jue gave up his hand and bid farewell to Miao Sheng.

Yu Chen drove, Miao Sheng and Miao Er sat in the car, and the White Deer King followed on horseback, and there was no one else. Is this pomp and circumstance small? This pomp is not small, the White Deer King Lu En and Ren Chen are both generals who rank among the four expeditions and four towns of the Chu State.

Miao Sheng died, and there was no warning, this old man really couldn't bear to watch Jiang Jue trapped in Yingdu, this was the last thing he could do for Jiang Jue.

This bad news fell like a thunderbolt in Yingdu.

The young man can pick up morality with his shoulders, and the young man can also wear the stars and the moon to hold Li Min in his hands. What about the young man's immature shoulders? What if the young man's palm is too small?

There are some things that people have to do. For example, Miao Sheng didn't deserve to die, but he had to die.
