36. The first high priest may have been a modern man
Chen Chen turned over and jumped on top of the bookshelf, gently hiding his body behind a pile of vases and books, his eyes staring down through the gap. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The door was quickly opened, and Zhuge Ke walked in quickly with a group of strategists, and everyone's faces were full of eagerness and anger.
"Master, what should we do now, this time the Lord of the East Water Land suddenly became angry, Chen Chen came back from the imperial capital all of a sudden, do we still have to implement our plan?" A strategist looked at Zhuge Ke and asked impatiently.
Zhuge Ke shook his head and said: "King Wencheng went west, I thought that our opportunity had come, and everything would come according to plan, but something like this happened, King Wencheng came back quickly, and our plans were ruined." However, now is the most chaotic time in Dongshui, we let the high priest continue to stir people's hearts, control the trend of the people, and then order people to continue to arrest Zhuangding and sabotage Chen Chen's policy, in short, the more chaotic Dongshui is, the better. ”
One of the advisors nodded and said, "The master is right, the high priest is here, and we can easily control the people." Although Ouyang Yun has been co-opted by us, the army is still mainly concentrated in Chen Cheng's hands, and now there is another Wei commander who controls the Dengzhou Guards, and almost all the troops are in Chen Chen's hands, how can we do something? ”
Zhuge Ke smiled slightly: "It's very simple, let the Green Water Island army make trouble, presumably the Dongshui Army will inevitably go to Green Water Island, at that time, the Dongshui Peninsula military strength is vacant, we can easily control here, and then unite the Green Water Island Army to attack back and forth and annihilate the East Water Army." ”
When the strategists heard Zhuge Ke's words, they nodded their heads one after another: "The master is resourceful, and I can't wait for it." ”
Zhuge Ke laughed, looked up to the sky and cried: "Ancestors, have you seen it, the era of our Xinglong Dynasty has come, and I, Zhuge Ke, will definitely revive our country." ”
Looking at Zhuge Ke's almost crazy and intoxicated expression, Chen Chen felt a burst of amusement in his heart, the raw rice has been cooked and cooked, and the Xinglong Dynasty still wants to be restored? Dare to make trouble under his nose, it's really impatient.
Sure enough, once the son of heaven and a courtier, no matter how good the old minister is, it is not as comfortable as his own people, since you are looking for death, then the king will give you a ride.
Everyone discussed the plan to set the capital again, and then rolled up the account book and quickly left here, Chen Chen pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and made sure that there was no one, before he stood up and jumped off the ground gently.
Looking around the account room, Chen Chen opened the window and jumped into the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards his yard, silently pondering the next step in his heart.
Back in the study, Chen Chen found the local chronicles of Dongshui and looked through them carefully, hoping to get some clues about the high priest, and then prescribe the right medicine to break the people's superstition about the high priest.
Looking at the local chronicles, Chen Chen understood some of the information. The high priest is the guardian of the Xinglong Dynasty and the spiritual leader of the Dongshui region, the high priest can predict good luck and evil, the prediction is to take out a piece of paper, and then put the paper into a container with water, if the color of the paper does not change, it is still white, then it is auspicious, if the paper turns red, then it is evil.
Seeing this, Chen Chen wondered why the paper would change color when it was put into water.
"Unless this paper and liquid are not ordinary, but specially processed." Thinking about it, Chen Chen suddenly thought of the chemistry knowledge in the junior high school textbook, phenolphthalein liquid will turn red when it encounters alkaline liquid, and there will be no change when it encounters acidic liquid, did the high priest also use this method? Soak the paper towel with phenolphthalein and put it in different liquids according to the desired result to achieve your own purpose.
If this is the case, then is there also someone from the same period who has crossed over, thinking of this, Chen Chen was worried for a while, if there are really people from the same period here, then it will be difficult to implement his plan.
Pressing down on the discomfort and nervousness in his heart, Chen Chen continued to look at the information about the high priest, although the information was extremely detailed, but there was no information he wanted.
Reluctantly put down the book, Chen Chen sat down and began to think about the situation in Dongshui, now that the army is in his hands, then the situation can be controlled at present, and the high priest is too important in the hearts of the people of Dongshui, if the high priest bewitches the people, it will probably be a disaster, and now he has to find a way to break the honor of the high priest.
"Come on, go and find Commander Wei and Chen Cheng for this king." Chen Chen raised his head and greeted outside, and immediately a little servant said yes and left.
After a while, Chen Cheng and Commander Wei were summoned, and just as the two were about to bend down and bow, Chen Chen immediately stopped them: "The situation is urgent now, this king will make a long story short." We have entered the internal mole in Dongshui, and Prime Minister Zhuge Ke and the high priest have demagogic people to subvert Dongshui. ”
As soon as Chen Chen said a few words, Chen Cheng was stunned and said, "Brother Huang, why did he do this?" In the days when you were not in Dongshui, I worked with him, and there was nothing suspicious about him. ”
Chen Chen sneered and said, "He wants to start an incident in secret, why don't he come over and tell you?" What do you two know about the Xinglong dynasty and the high priests? Chen Chen looked at the two and asked, after all, he had crossed over, and he didn't know much about the previous dynasty, maybe these two people could make some discoveries.
Commander Wei smiled slightly and said: "Lord Wang, this last general understands that the Xinglong Dynasty is a country established by the Zhuge clan of the previous dynasty, and the Chen State replaced the Xinglong Dynasty a hundred years ago......"
Chen Chen hurriedly interrupted him and said, "I know that it was established by the Zhuge clan, let's talk about the point." ”
"Yes!" Commander Wei smiled awkwardly and said: "The high priest is the guardian of the Xinglong Dynasty, and was brutally suppressed by Xinglong when it rose two hundred years ago, and then I don't know why the high priest actually replaced the position of the original protector master Baiyin Temple and became the new leader of the protector. It is said that the first high priest was extremely clever and skilled in making machines and weapons, many of which had never been seen at the time, and the historical records say that they were the work of God. With the advent of these weapons, the High Priest became the greatest force among the people of Xinglong, and later he married a princess of the Xinglong Dynasty, and then became the new protector leader, helping Xinglong unify the east for a time, and after his death, the High Priest has existed, including today, and still affects the people. ”
Chen Chen's heart moved when he heard Commander Wei's description: "Are you saying that the first high priest was good at making unique weapons, and these weapons were not available in that era?" ”
Commander Wei nodded and said, "Yes, it is really unique, Chen Guo still retains a weapon and stores it in the palace as a treasure of the Zhen Kingdom. ”
Chen Chen tried his best to maintain the waves on the surface, but his heart was already turbulent, and it seemed that someone might have crossed over two hundred years ago......
