Chapter 103 January
Walking out of the door, after Ying Xuan walked down, he looked at the sundial in the courtyard (a stone plate with a needle inserted in it, an ancient way of keeping time) It was just after three o'clock in the afternoon, and the diameter walked to the drunken immortal building next door.
"Childe! You're out! β
Ying Xuan smiled and nodded at Yuan Bao, and looked down at the wooden plate that Yuan Bao was dragging with both hands, in addition to the noon meal, there was also a decoction that made Ying Xuan want to die every day.
"Childe, it's time to..."
Before Yuan Bao finished speaking, Ying Xuan took two steps forward, directly picked up the bowl of soup and drank it in one gulp.
To be honest, over the past few days, Ying Xuan has gradually become accustomed to the taste of this decoction, although it is still difficult to swallow, but it is no longer as resistant as before.
Although this decoction is bitter, it does heal most of Ying Xuan's internal injuries. Every night, Ying Xuan found that it was getting smoother and smoother when he was running the crape myrtle recipe, which was also the main reason why Ying Xuan gradually did not reject the decoction.
Ying Xuan looked down at Yuan Bao and asked, "What about the big brother?" β
Yuan Bao replied, "It's being discerned inside, and the eldest prince is watching." β
Hearing this, Ying Xuan nodded and walked into the Drunken Immortal Building.
As soon as he walked in, Ying Xuan saw that there were two people standing opposite each other on the stage where the dancers were dancing at night, and most of the eyes of the powerful people in the building were on these two people.
The Tsing Yi scholar waved at the white-clothed scholar and said, "According to the child's opinion, the world is divided and united, what is the root cause?" β
"Under the world, under the whole world. Under the heavens, above the earth, for men. β
When the white-clothed scholar spoke, he stroked his sleeves, looked confident, looked around at the magnates, and continued, "People have lived for decades, comparing with heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the stars, all things, and all living beings, but in a flash. β
"It is precisely because life is short that people will cherish their lives extraordinarily. All you need is nothing more than a good word. The people seek security, officials seek power, business seeks wealth, and scholars seek to be famous. β
"Looking back at the past dynasties, the people are safe, and the country is solid. If the people are in danger, the country will be destroyed. β
"I thought that if the country is to be permanent, it is not necessary for the king to be diligent in cultivating his character and loving the people like a son. Diligent policy and benevolence to the people is the true way of kings! β
When the white-clothed scholar finished speaking, no one in the drunken immortal building applauded. Most of the people showed disapproval on their faces, but a small number of people lowered their heads and pondered after listening to the words of the white-clothed man.
"This son is talented!"
Ying Xuan said secretly in his heart after listening to the discussion of the white-clothed man.
Just by expounding, it can be seen that the white-clothed scholar has a detached vision. In this era of outdated concepts and weak consciousness, there was the style of Confucius and Mencius talking about benevolence and virtue first, and then there were corrupt Confucianism and clear streams and great gentlemen.
The white-clothed scholar's exposition can be described as a betrayal, no less than Xunzi's human nature in the past. It's just that in the past, Xunzi was a Confucian Confucian, and every word and deed was pursued by protΓ©gΓ©s and apprentices.
In contrast, it is naturally difficult for the white-clothed scholar to be recognized here.
All living beings take the word Li as the head, and the people are simple, in the final analysis, because they can't solve the problem of food and clothing, and all they see and care about is an acre and three points of land in front of their homes. If they solve the food and clothing in front of them, they will naturally see more, and they will be more greedy for what they want.
For thousands of years in feudal society, the most prosperous time only solved the food and clothing of the people, and naturally there was no chance to see the greedy side of the people. And Ying Xuan, as a person in the 21st century, has witnessed the ugly side of human nature, and agrees with the remarks of the man in white from the bottom of his heart.
The white-clothed man stood on the stage, and when he saw that everyone was unimpressed, a trace of contemptuous mockery flashed in his eyes.
All of them are the magnates of the Song Kingdom, their wealth and rights have reached a peak, and they are no longer within the reach of the people, but they are still trying their best to fight for power and profit, which best confirms the remarks of the white-clothed scholars, and the disapproving appearance they showed is self-deception in the eyes of the white-clothed scholars.
When he saw the disapproving look on the faces of the magnates in the building, he recovered again and counterattacked, "With Your Excellency's remarks, all living beings are headed by the word profit, why did the two saints of Confucius and Mencius have already moved Jiuzhou, and they still want to abandon fame and fortune, and pass on the government of virtue and benevolence to the king, so as to benefit the people?" β
Hearing this, the white-clothed scholar also showed a hint of admiration on his face, and said, "As Brother Tai said, Confucius and Mencius are all detached from the world, alone, not comparable to our world, this is holy, not human." β
The scholar in Tsing Yi said again: "I have countless clear streams in the Great Song Dynasty, and I am alone in the mud. The scholars studied hard in the cold window, with the intention of spreading benevolence and saving the people from fire and water. The king's diligent administration is intended to save the world. All three of them are powerful, can they be advantageous? β
As soon as the Tsing Yi Shizi finished speaking, the surrounding magnates all applauded.
"Color!"
Hearing the approval of his remarks by the surrounding magnates, the smug look on the face of the Tsing Yi scholar was even worse, and his eyes looked at the white man with a provocative look.
This scene made Ying Xuan shake his head secretly, even if the white-clothed scholar was bound by secular concepts and could not prove his words, but just looking at the frivolity and arrogance of the Qingyi scholar's demeanor, his heart was far inferior to that of the white-clothed scholar.
"Brother Xuan! You're finally here! β
There was a familiar shout in his ears, and Ying Xuan looked at it, and saw Ying Hao hurriedly walking towards this side.
Ying Xuan looked at Ying Hao's hurried expression, thoughtful, and said, "Big brother looking for me?" β
"Don't you know?" Ying Hao asked.
Ying Xuan thought for a moment and said, "What the eldest brother said is that Chen Guo raised 100,000 troops and intended to crusade against the Qin State?" β
"Yes, now my father has issued an edict to urgently recruit 30,000 troops, and unite the soldiers of all tribes to fight back. I plan to go back to China now to help my father. β
Hearing this, Ying Xuan secretly smiled in his heart, and sure enough, it was not true. However, he was not worried at all, after all, when Ying Ke returned to Qin, Ying Xuan arranged Zhang Yi to Ying Ke's side, and believed that with Zhang Yi's three-inch incorruptible tongue, it would be easy to stop Chen Guo's 100,000 troops.
However, Ying Xuan also hopes that Ying Hao will return to the Qin State, firstly, as the eldest son of the lineage, he will definitely get the support of the clan, and then use this to suppress the power of Ying Shengjie and the Xu clan. The second is that Ying Xuan plans to wait for Ying Hao to leave and develop the power of Kaguya, so that this organization can only obey his own orders, which is also to prevent him from returning to Qin State and being taken back control of the Drunken Immortal Mansion by Ying Ke, and then he will make wedding dresses for others in vain, according to Ying Xuan's character, he is very unwilling.
"Big brother plans to go back to Qin State alone?"
Ying Hao nodded, patted Ying Xuan's shoulder, and said, "Qin Guo is in trouble now, eldest brother can't ignore it, you are also respected by Song Guo here, eldest brother is very relieved." β
Ying Xuan agreed, "Since this is the case, then I will go to the Song Palace with my eldest brother to meet the King of Song now." β
As he was leaving, Ying Xuan suddenly remembered something, and said to the ingots beside him, "Later, you go and send a pot of wine to the white-clothed man on the stage, and let him come to see me at night." β
After hearing this, Yuan Bao looked at the white-clothed scholar on the stage in surprise, and didn't understand why Gongzi invited this scholar who had the upper hand, and said, "I'll go in a while." β
As long as he went out, Gonggong Jin, who had had a few acquaintances with Ying Xuan, suddenly walked in in casual clothes, glanced twice, saw Ying Xuan and Ying Hao, twisted his waist and walked over.
"Two sons, are you disturbed by the miscellaneous family?"
Hearing the sound, Ying Xuan looked back and saw that it was Gonggong Jin, and immediately waved against him, saying, "I don't know that Gonggong Jin is coming, and I will miss the welcome." Ying Xuan omitted the last sentence in the hope of atonement. After all, he is the son of the Qin State, and saying this not only makes the Jin Gonggong in front of him feel a lot of face, but it does not hurt the face of the Qin State Ying clan.
Jin Gonggong has been a crippled body since he was a child, although he has been respected by Zhao Kuangyin's side in recent years, but he is also an extreme person in his heart, Ying Xuan is so respectful to him, so that Jin Gonggong has a good impression from the heart, and hurriedly said, "Xuan Gongzi is really tormenting the old slave, this time I came to the mouth of the king, the king and the Tang king have been waiting for Xuan Gongzi in the palace for a long time......"
Ying Xuan's eyes trembled, and a trace of essence flashed, and said, "King Tang has come to Song?" β
What is the purpose of Li Shimin's coming to Song, Ying Xuan naturally knows in his heart. It's just that he thought that he would only send a henchman to negotiate with him, after all, now that he is in a troubled world, the kings of various countries have every day and every day, and they have no time to get out. Li Shimin's back and forth will take a month, and I don't know how many political affairs will be delayed.
"In that case, please ask Grandpa Jin to come and go!"
The three of them quietly left the Drunken Immortal Building, leaving only the powerful people in the Drunken Immortal Mansion to continue eating, drinking, and talking.
ββββββββββ
"Ying Xuan (Ying Hao), the prince of Qin, meets King Song! Meet the Tang King! β
Before Zhao Kuangyin could speak, Li Shimin looked at Ying Xuan with a smile and said, "I just talked about you, but I didn't expect to come over!" β
Zhao Kuangyin opened his mouth casually and said with a smile, "The two sons don't have to be polite, please take a seat!" β
Hearing this, Ying Xuan and Ying Hao thanked each other again and sat beside them.
As soon as he entered the seat, Ying Xuan immediately waved at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "King Song! I really want to ask for something this time! β
Zhao Kuangyin's face did not change, as if he had expected it, "Oh~ I don't know what Xuan Gongzi has to ask for?" If you can do it, you should do your best. β
"My brother got the news that Chen Guo heard about the Qin State and wanted to raise 100,000 troops to attack the Qin State. My brother was very worried and wanted to rush back to Qin to help his father! Ying Xuan explained truthfully.
Zhao Kuangyin nodded thoughtfully, and immediately said, "The country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible, let alone the son of a country." If Prince Hao wants to return to China to help, this king will naturally not stop him. β
Li Shimin, who was on the side, also nodded, and echoed, "The Qin State and the Tang and Song Dynasty have formed a brotherly alliance, and the Qin State is in trouble, and the Tang State will not ignore it!" Hao Gongzi might as well go first, my Tang State will lead 50,000 soldiers to reinforce the Qin State! β
Ying Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to thank him, but Ying Xuan, who was beside him, refused, "Although the Qin State is weak, it is not afraid of the 100,000 troops of the Chen State, why bother the soldiers of the Tang State?" β
