Knowing that it was impossible to make another move, Emperor Xiang gritted his teeth first, gathered his neck and planned to take a hard blow, at least to fight for both sides, but when he heard the sound of "whew", everything around him trembled lightly like water waves a few times, and the invisible pressure on his body disappeared all of a sudden.

"Misunderstanding and misunderstanding, forgive me......"

It seems to be old, and it seems to be mature, it is the voice of the person who is secretly plotting against the emperor behind his back, and it seems to be fading away, but it is always condensed, if it is in the ear.

Slowly exhaled, the emperor Xiangxian was in good spirits, and he felt that his chest was turning over the river and the sea, and he was lucky, but he couldn't hold it down, and he spit out "wow", splashing the pine and bamboo in front of him.

(Just now, if they're going to kill the killer...... How long can I hold on? ）

It is the first-class figure among the young and strong people today, and recently broke through the strength to the upper eighth level, and has been in the army for many years, cultivating a personality, Emperor Xiangxian has always been strong and conceited, and has the courage to take risks. Suddenly, I heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and came through the forest, but it seemed that it was not far away, but I don't know when it came.

(Could it be that all of this area is within the scope of the opponent's illusion just now, but, in this case...... I thought I was retreating, but I didn't know where I was retreating? ）

Listening to the silk and bamboo, like endless, there is a great wind of Chen Wei, mixed with the sound of women's laughter and singing, the emperor is strong and resolute, and the good ones are also Huang Zhong Da Lu, iron plate pipa, I have never liked this, I frowned slightly, and listened to a male voice who seemed to have seven points of alcohol to clear his throat, and said: "No, I don't know what to do, the voice is good, but there is no taste, listen to the master sing a tune...... "Zheng Zheng a few times, as if tuning the strings, and then I heard him sing in his voice: "Go this way, go that way, just looking for flowers and willows." Go over there, go this way, don't get tired of the golden cup of wine. "The sound is clear, the strings are in tune, and it's actually very good.

He sang a few words, but the girls over there didn't seem to follow, and Emperor Xiang first heard a delicate girl say: "Erlang's song is good, but what kind of flowers...... Do you mean that my sister is not enough to serve the gentleman? ”

I heard the "Erlang" laugh and said, "Say what you said there!" It's a good flower, it's a good willow, listen to me sing again... Singing..."The emperor first listened to a few palace horns over there, and then changed the tune, it seemed to be Yuefu, but it was not very serious, but it was a little bit like "hanging branches", "bamboo branches" and other slang and glamorous tunes, and couldn't help frowning secretly. But I heard a few sonorous laughs over there, and it was actually "... Sing one, Flower Willow Song! ”

"Chang'an flowers, Zhangtai willows!"

From the timbre, it seems that it is still just a pipa, but the person's technique is obviously extremely fast and excellent, and he actually plucked out infinite tricks, listening to it is brisk, playful, partial and a little drunken and loose, Emperor Xiang heard it here first, Fang was shocked, and said in his heart: "This son has a good technique!" ”

"Chang'an flower, Xie Yuhua, thinking of her outside the sky at nine nights! In front of the Sanfu Qinguiyuan, Wuling was young for the drama, and the generals of the hundred battles were here, and Qingfeng was not enough to boast about it! ”

"Zhang Tailiu, Hu Buliu? him, Songzhu, Xuemei, Friend! The clouds protect the moon and the branches are beautiful, who remembers the autumn when the spring breeze is cut, the children of Xiao Se Changting, and Du Kang is thrown away from the intestines! ”

"Read the flowers, and the willows, listen to my song of flowers and willows! People complain that happiness and happiness are all complete, I am willing to pour down the flowers and willows, people complain that it is rare to live a hundred years, I am willing to die drunk in the Chinese year! ”

"You don't see, Longma spirit Longxi Road, into the bamboo forest sold for more than a year. Ten perfect martial arts shocked the world, and future generations only love absurd words. The short-lived son of heaven competed for the award, and the long joy looked at the tent. What is the use of Mid-Levels fame? There is no one to send it before the grave in spring! ”

"You don't see it, regardless of your wife's wealth and nobility, you know the emptiness before receiving arrows in front of the spirit, Zhu Zi was once angry when she entered Beijing, and she never thought that Huating would be able to do it again. Reprimanded and said that the fox is so cautious, after all, the west released Yangguan, and the ten strategies are more than enough to devour, regretting not supporting the United States and the five lakes! ”

"You don't see, the green leaves are yin and the end of the beard, and the red beans are more and more woody. The golden wisps are difficult to recover, and the peach blossoms are painful in the spring breeze every other year. The green shirt remembered the traces of wine, and Yun Ying sighed that it was not as good as a person. Eighty decaying Weng teeth shook off, tears recalled the south and the north! ”

"You don't see, Xiling has become a famous spot in the wind and rain, and the mouth of the Xunyang River sighs. The general was angry and elbowed willows, and Fang Xian was not white-headed. Kulan early Xie Feiguang stationed, Hepu ship covered the river forever. Cow wine breaks the belly and drowns Jiang Yue, and it is also better than the ancient dream of Cangzhou! ”

The singing voice is getting higher, like piercing the clouds, but it can still rise and fall, while the pipa sound is slow, the changes are not counted, but it is always under the singing, only foil, no snatching, the end is a good hand, the emperor is in the imperial capital first, and I have never seen that singer has this ability, playing with the lyrics, and I feel that it seems to be decadent, and it seems to be free and easy, and I don't feel that I stop, and I said: "What kind of person is this?" ”

While listening to the female warblers and warblers, while listening to the forest in the Suosuo, in a blink of an eye, I saw more than ten people giggling, coming down from the mountain, the first person held the pipa, the green shirt and jade belt, the face was full of wine, and the legs were soft and shaky when they walked, and the whole battle was driven by two women on the left and right, but the hands were still dishonest.

…… But the emperor knew this man first.

(Sun Fuyi?) ）

The person who came was the "prodigal son of the Dongjiang River", but he didn't know who the emperor elephant was first, he only squinted his eyes and looked at it, and then swaggered over, but the women on his side peeked at the emperor elephant a few times, covered his mouth and laughed. Someone asked in a coquettish voice: "Erlang, that Lang Jun's eyes are so scary just now...... Fang saw that Sun Fuyi looked back at the emperor for a moment, but he still didn't see it, and said: "People...... Is there anyone? Seeing that the girls smiled and pointed in the direction of the emperor elephant, they pulled their faces and said, "Is that human...... As I said earlier, women, under fifteen are not considered people, those above thirty are not considered people, those who are not good-looking are not considered people, and as for men, except for the master, they are not all people! Yijing said, and Yijing laughed and went.

(Traveling with wine and prostitutes during the day...... Is this guy really here to propose? ）

Seeing this crazy man and slut singing by, Emperor Xiang was suddenly a little stunned, but he wanted to smile bitterly.

(Could it be that those two people retreated when they heard Sun Fuyi coming?) ）

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I said old flowers, didn't you meow that the time has come, now... This is what you say is a good time? ”

“…… Mom, I didn't expect the times to be like this! ”

Hua Shengrong, Wan Sekong, each pulling a stinky face, sat face to face, because the recent flow of water in this small bookstore is really not optimistic.

As early as when the war news was swarming and the number of days was shocked, Wan Sekong had already intended to reduce expenditures and preserve his vitality, but Hua Shengrong vigorously opposed it.

"I said cats...... No, no, Boss Wan, now is a good time to get rich! ”

Believing that the current chaos is due to panic, and analyzing the local economic situation of Jinguan, Hua Shengrong said that the Jinguan people are solid, and there has always been a strong consumption atmosphere, in this case, a little "doomsday panic" can actually effectively promote consumption, especially those that are not very light.

"Not only is there a desire to be full of warmth and lust, but it is also a very common consumer psychology to go into the flowers and refuse to cry for the wall!"

Persuaded by Hua Shengrong, Wan Sekong sent a communication to the headquarters of Xiaohuaxuan, asking for a large number of additional Spring Palace and forbidden books, and after receiving the reply that "transportation is inconvenient and difficult to supply", he even took out all the working capital under Hua Shengrong's persuasion and purchased engraving on his own.

Outcome...... Although there was indeed a small upsurge in the sale of books for some time at first, the skyrocketing prices, and the bloodshed and riots that did occur, made most of the lower class residents begin to calculate their expenses more carefully, and seriously consider moving to eat.

"Meow, not counting the two hundred and twenty-five newly printed copies that were sent in the morning, there are still 1,358 copies in the library, in addition to 200 sets of finely printed atlases...... You meow, do you know how much it is?! ”

"Well, I didn't expect the situation to deteriorate so quickly...... Damn, it's not good to stay like this, what kind of fire is coming out! ”

A sentence was just about to reach the heart, Wan Sekong slapped the table and scolded: "Exactly, he is not afraid of death, and he has to leave us a way to live!" It's so meow that you can't even sell the yellow book, is it too peaceful?! Hua Shengrong is most afraid that he will investigate the source of "decision-making mistakes", and at this moment, seeing that his anger is sent to Taiping Road, it is exactly what he does, and he also scolds the table.

was scolding vigorously, suddenly heard the sound of kicking and stomping footsteps, and saw Yun Chongbo with dark circles under his eyes, listless, and paced out step by step from behind. Immediately stopped, Wan Sekong was halfway through the scolding, choked in his throat, and only ate and said: "This...... Brother Yun, have you eaten it? ”

Hua Shengrong didn't say anything, but Wan Sekong also knew that Yun Chongbo was from Taiping, and he had always been very careful when he spoke, but now it was different, hundreds of taels of silver were pressed in the library, and even next month's rent was a problem, plus he thought he was not at home, so he let go a little, so he thought that he was hit right? While accosting, he was a little apprehensive in his heart: "This...... It is said that he can't fight against the traverser, but he seems to have some problems in his mind recently, and he won't forget it, right? ”

But seeing Yun Chongbo shaking his head, he said, "I'm not hungry......" said and looked left and right, and suddenly let out a long sigh, and turned his head to go in again.

He has always looked bad recently, especially after the incident of "setting fire to the market on Taiping Road", he was even more haggard, and the two looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, I heard two clicks on the door, and a very calm voice said, "Excuse me...... Is this Xiaohuaxuan? The two of them immediately lifted their spirits, and Wan Sekong jumped up and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes!" Precisely! I trotted to the door and opened the door, but I saw a drunken and loose man, looking at the clothes on his body, the texture seemed to be good, but I don't know how long I hadn't washed them, and they were very dirty.

(Alas, the book industry is hard work, meow ten customers and nine houses, if it is a service industry, such a guest will never be allowed to enter...... ）

slander in his stomach, but Wan Sekong smiled on his face and said, "The guest officer, please come in and read the book." Seeing that the man just sneered, he glanced at it and said, "Read...... You also have books to read in this place? ”

Stunned, trying to suppress his anger, Wan Sekong was about to find something to say, but he heard Hua Shengrong behind him "Huh", and said, "Mr. Xun?!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sir."

"Huh?"

Standing in front of him, seeing Zigong open his eyes slightly, Gongsun carefully considered it and asked Zigong to give instructions on when to talk to Yun Chongbo for the third time.

“…… I've already started talking. ”

Closing his eyes again and leaning back in his chair, Zigong told Gongsun that everything that was happening in the city now was his "talk".

"Fear, anger, panic, despair, curse...... All of this is my words. ”

"The economic activities of this city have been greatly disrupted, and every citizen of this city has been affected, in this case, the burning of the streets and alleys of Taiping Road can attract the hatred of the people to the greatest extent."

In fact, fear itself does not reduce the supply of materials, the inconvenience of transportation, and only delays the conversion of products into gold and silver, what really leads to chaos is the frenzy of people and the incompetence of local officials, and it is those cargo owners who want to take advantage of the opportunity to soar.

"But this is all right, everyone is responding naturally, because the path we have provided is the most 'human' path, and everyone is also thinking about the best interests of their own interests, and they will naturally follow the path we have paved to the immortal, to tell him how hated the Taiping Tao is, to make him feel how disgusted the idea of peace is...... Because everyone is saying this from the heart, with excitement rather than eloquence, it is possible to impress a good-natured person like the undead. ”

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is evil, what Sun Qing pointed out is the truth of this world......"

Carefully remembering every word Zigong said, Gongsun also made a report, pointing out that Xun Huan was observed leaving the cottage at noon today and going to Xiaohuaxuan.

“…… But maybe you went to buy those books, right? ”

He ...... It's best to go buy books. ”

Standing up, with a gloomy face, Zigong walked slowly around the room with his hands behind his back.

"Master has clouds, but nothing more than three things...... For the sake of old feelings, I put up with him twice, which is the greatest kindness I can express, and if he doesn't know what to do, then I will only have to destroy him again. ”

Zhan Su paused, in Gongsun's eyes, Zigong at this moment seemed to have been completely enveloped by the miasma of darkness, and with every conversation he spoke, there was an indescribably thick darkness pouring out of his inner body.

Resisting this discomfort, Gongsun asked another question, a question he had been thinking about for a long time.

"You want to know why I'm obsessed with ruining this young man?"

Nodding seriously, Gongsun said that before he came, in order to understand more about the target, he specially read many materials, including the records made by Zhantai Ming and Yan Hui, and also browsed the records of the immortal over the ages. And, the more he studied, the more strange he felt.

In history, there are not a few records of the appearance of the undead, but it is very rare to send Zigong to deal with it personally, in other words, in most cases, Zigong just stayed quietly in Quzou, doing some diplomatic work such as forming alliances and inducing rebellions. At the same time, compared with most immortals, Yun Chongbo can be regarded as a moral sample, kind and simple, modest and cautious, even if he uses Confucian laws to get stuck, he is definitely a "good person".

"This, very complicated, it should be said, part of the reason is that the minds of some immortals are indeed strong enough to be shaken......

It seemed difficult to answer, but Zigong's voice was unusually slow, and after several interruptions and a deep groan, he seemed to have made up his mind, and with a sudden increase in speed, he gave his reason.

“…… The main thing is that because of the quality of this generation of immortals, because his quality is so good, I have to destroy him. ”

Looking at the stunned grandson, Zigong smiled bitterly, his voice became slow again, and he seemed to relax, but there was still an indescribable bitterness.

"Surprised...... So, Gongsun, you are still too far from the standard of 'ancient names'. ”

Pacing back and forth, Zigong picked up the tea that had already cooled, waved his hand to stop Gongsun from adding water, took a big sip, and put it down.

"Because of his kindness, because of his simplicity, because of his humility and for some other reason which I cannot yet explain, he fled again and again in mortal situations, the dragon king, the human king, and even the Wen king...... Let him go again and again, let him grow, and this gives hope to Taiping Dao. ”

Just after recovering from his surprise, Gongsun tried to express his opinion, saying that the current Taiping Dao, compared with history, can be said to be one of the "weakest" times, and after Zhang Nanjian's death, even the last big tree was broken, so how much storm can they set off?

"You still don't understand."

Waving his hand a little impatiently, Zigong told Gongsun that for the Three Kings, or at least for Confucianism, the complete destruction of the Taiping Dao was never an option.

"'If you enter, you will not be able to stay at home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish'. Although Yasheng is naïve on most issues, here he is quite right. ”

“…… Disciples are taught. ”

After all, he was one of the disciples carefully cultivated by Zigong, and Gongsun quickly understood what he meant, but in this case, he couldn't figure it out, even the Taiping Dao could heal troubles, why did he want to destroy a cloud chongbo?

"Because, as I just said...... His kindness, his simplicity, and his low self-esteem. ”

"These things make me worried, worried...... He will always maintain his character and virtue, and will not have the inevitable depravity of the 'powerful' and 'gods'. ”

"And in that case, he is more likely to continue to gain comrades, prestige, and even success, and achieve something that no one of the previous immortals could obtain."

"I'm worried...... He will go to the highest. ”

He never expected his teacher to have such a high opinion of this rustic young man, and Gongsun's thinking was completely confused, but struggling, he still caught some doubts.

"But...... Teacher, what's wrong with that? ”

As far as Confucianism is concerned, what has always been believed in is the proposition that "the people are precious, and the society is light", and in history, when it is necessary to choose between "the world" and "one surname", the Confucianism as a whole has never been deficient.

"Because, that will not be an ordinary emperor...... As the 'immortal' emperor, it may be the end of the entire history of Great Xia. ”

"Gongsun, tell me, 'Emperor'...... Is he 'scary'? ”

There was no answer, because the questioner obviously did not expect an answer.

"The emperor is not terrible, all he has is 'power'."

"Do Confucianism really worship the emperor? No, we never deify Him and preach the allegiances that are due, just for the sake of our own learning. ”

"Buddha, Tao, do they believe in the emperor? No, they never, obey him, just to share the great benefits in his hands. ”

"Is the family loyal to the emperor? No, they never, loyal... It's just another word for 'powerless to betray'. ”

"Do officials love the emperor? No, they never, 'The sin of the minister should be punished by the king of heaven'... From there, I saw only irony smiling angrily. ”

"So... The people, the people? They are truly adored, loyal, loved... Or at least to honor the emperor? ”

"Still no, still never, even if you are still in the imperial capital, listening to those people in the market who open their mouths and close their mouths to 'Zhao Guan's family', you will feel... They don't believe at all, they don't believe in anything, and the 'imperial grace' on their lips is just a slogan that stays on their lips forever. All they want is reward, peace, less taxes, and more opportunities. ”

"But it's good... This is the best chain, the chain that can firmly lock this strange dragon, this false respect, this obedience that is only related to fear, this slack in the bones, is the best antidote, so that no matter how ridiculous the emperor is, he will not be able to poison the very foundation of this country. ”

"There have been emperors who have opened up Buddhas, and there have been emperors who have destroyed the Tao... Even, there have been emperors who ignored Confucianism, belittled and attacked us, and listed us in the last stream, but in the end, what can they change? ”

"The authority of the emperor is constantly declining with the distance from the imperial capital, especially those orders that have no interest in the executor himself, and the farther he goes, the more he cannot carry it out to the end."

"So the Buddha will still come back, the Tao will still come back, and we Confucianism will be able to come back... Because this is habit, history, and the history of the millennium of Great Xia. ”

"But Taiping... They are not. ”

"The undead... Not even so. ”

"Right here, what happened in this Jinguan City... Do you want me to say it again? ”

"An emperor who can truly bring the people to their hearts... That would be a nightmare. ”

"An emperor who has truly won the loyalty of all the people, an emperor who is truly worshipped and trusted... Such a person, with just one word, can uproot Confucianism, and as long as he moves, he can make the Ao family disappear from history... Such a person, even the history of Great Xia, he has the ability to end it. ”

"But?"

With a snort, Gongsun asked, what is wrong with an emperor who can be highly recognized by everyone and pay supreme loyalty?

"There must be something remarkable about it to make the people return to their hearts in this way, and wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort to promote good governance with such loyalty and obedience?"

"Do you want to say that if we can govern with unchecked power and have the heartfelt support of all the officials and the people, we will really be able to achieve things that no one can imagine, whether it is to establish a world of great harmony and a kingdom of paradise...... In short, those phantom worlds that are used to guide the direction of the people? ”

Looking at him coldly, Zigong said slowly: "But I, Zigong, have never believed in those worlds. Rather than looking forward to the beauty of the future, I see more horror to come. ”

“…… Ordinary people can only make ordinary mistakes, some mistakes that can be repaired and corrected, but the mistakes made by those who have no checks and balances will also be mistakes that cannot be checked...... Only when a new unbalanced person emerges can the mistake be remedied. ”

After thinking about it, he thought of a chill on his back, but Gongsun still couldn't help but ask, a giant who can succeed enough to make everyone trust him may not make any mistakes that can't be made up? And what does the so-called "end of the history of Great Xia" mean?

"What does that mean...... It's all about changing. Everything we have been accustomed to for thousands of years will be profoundly and irreversibly changed. ”

"After the end of history, what kind of future awaits Great Xia? I don't know, and I don't deserve to know. ”

"It might be better, but I really don't think it's necessary to risk that outcome."

"So... My Zigong must speak this time, and my Zigong must not let him go... His life can be preserved, but his heart, his will... I have to destroy. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Be good, be obedient, eat a little more."

"Don't eat it, what is this called Buddha jumping over the wall, too much salt, too little pepper, the bean skin is not cooked thoroughly, and you can see for yourself the knife work of this loach, it looks ugly like this, and at most it will be given to ......"

"Smack!"

A neat slap was slaped on the back of the head, and Happy Happy's whole face was beaten into the hot soup, and although he immediately jumped up screaming, he was already burned red in several places.

"You woman, figure it out, do you force people to eat like this?"

"You little devil just need to figure it out!"

In the absence of outsiders, Miss Zhu's performance is really insulting to the name of "everyone's ladies", one hand is vividly crossed at the waist, and the other hand is poked all the way to the happy face.

"Brighten up your moves, you're being killed now, you're being killed! You should still be panting and smiling, and you dare to pick unpalatable dishes?! ”

That night, Ao Xingxing went out to chase the "pervert", and happened to meet Afu, who was seriously injured and returned, and helped her to meet Zhu Zimu, but because of this, she became a very unfortunate "insider" and had to face the fate of being "wiped out".

"If it weren't for the fact that you are a little devil who is very good at eating and is still useful, I would have given you a bowl of boiled noodles with a pandao wonton a long time ago, Miss......"

"Wait, the bandao noodles are the bandao noodles, the wontons are the wontons, what are you messing up nonsense?!"

"That's not the point!"

According to Zhu Zimu, Ao Xingxing unfortunately knew some things that he shouldn't know, although it was not his fault, but it was definitely his misfortune.

He should be killed, at least cut off his tongue and cut off ten fingers or something, but considering that he is a kind person, Zhu Zimu is indeed a little unable to do it......

"Hey, can people who force others to eat this kind of thing every day also be considered kind?!"

In short, fortunately or unfortunately, Happy escaped the fate of "being wiped out", but he was also grounded and locked in Zhu Zimu's small building, and he got a glory that would be avoided by all the subordinates of Zhujiabao.

…… Three meals a day, arranged by Miss Zhu herself!

"In short, I didn't have much experience in cooking since I was a child, and although many people tried to teach me, I just couldn't learn it......"

Contrary to Afu, who has an amazing talent in this area, Zhu Zimu doesn't know how to match seasonings and ingredients at all, although for the "eldest lady", it is nothing if he can't cook, but for many reasons, Zhu Zimu still wants to make a good dish.

"Anyway, you seem to be very good at eating, so it's up to you to eat, report if you feel that there is a defect there, put forward your opinion, and then I'll change it...... Got it? ”

“…… I see. ”

It was originally a good thing that had been promised, but after eating the first meal, his face twitched and shrunk into a ball of happiness, and he wrenched his fingers and counted round after round, seeing Zhu Zimu's face becoming more and more ugly, and finally lying on the table very weakly.

"Forget it......"

The performance is very large, Zhu Zimu told Ao Xingxing that it is okay to put forward advantages.

"Pros......"

This time it was very fast, and Ao Xingxing immediately put down the bowl and gave an answer.

“…… Not a single one. ”

"I think you still want to be killed!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the large and spacious study, it was very ambiguous, and Zhu Xiaojie was holding a small purple sand pot, pacing back and forth.

Zhu Youxian ...... Zhu has tears, grandma's, is there really such a coincidence? ”

His brows were furrowed tightly, and there was actually a little faint fear, Zhu Xiaojie glanced at his desk from time to time, and every time he glanced at it, he would turn his face away with a very disgusted look.

"Your grandma's slut...... Is there any leftover from the dead? ”

"Young Master."

A respectful voice sounded outside, the person who came was Zhu Xiaojie's housekeeper, surnamed Zhu, named Fu, who had been in the Zhu family for more than 50 years, and was the person Zhu Xiaojie trusted the most.

"It took a little effort, but I finally saw the girl."

Speaking in a very slow voice and looking very tired, Zhu Fu didn't say any details, just said that he had the opportunity to be alone with Afu as Zhu Xiaojie hoped, although it was very short, but it was enough to ask the questions he wanted to ask.

"That is to say, the second child doesn't know the relationship between the girl and us...... It's true that he just wants the girl to spy on the news for him, hmph, it's coming
