"If he can't eat this last thing on this last day, he will give up all his previous efforts, and he will be directly wiped out, and his soul will be completely lost. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shangguan Prime Minister said lightly: "There is no turning back." ”

Prince Rong couldn't help laughing and said, "Needless to say, he must have eaten crabs." ”

Zen Master Huineng also pronounced the Buddha's trumpet: "Amitabha, it must be the Buddha who felt his sincerity and gave him a dream." ”

"The Buddha treats everyone equally, how can he favor him?" Prime Minister Shangguan shook his head and said: "Cultivation is cultivation of the mind, and if you want to break through, you have to look at yourself." When he was desperate, he came to the beach and saw this thing. He tapped the crab and said, "It's not the first time he's seen this thing, but it's wearing armor and it's so hard that it doesn't look like an edible thing." ”

Prince Rong laughed and said, "It's really not like that." ”

"It's too late to look for it, so I can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor." Don't look at Emperor Xinghua meaningfully, Prime Minister Shangguan said in a deep voice: "If you don't eat, you will die horizontally and vertically, and there is still a glimmer of life if you eat." ”

Everyone heard the old prime minister's words, although Shangguan Yunhe usually chattered many times, but it was never as real and very listenable as this time.

So he caught some live crabs and boiled them in a pot. At first, the water in the pot was cold, the crabs felt very comfortable, as the monk burned the fire under the pot, the water temperature gradually rose, the crabs were a little uncomfortable, and began to climb up, the water temperature became higher and higher, the crabs became more and more uncomfortable, one by one they tried their best to scratch the pot, scratching the iron pot loudly, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't climb out. ”

The monk saw it in his eyes and hurt in his heart, he couldn't bear to suffer the crab, but he couldn't stop. So, with great kindness, he picked up the lid of the pot, closed the lid of the pot, and recited the Buddha's name: 'Amitabha, good and good, when it is cooked, it will not hurt.' Sure enough, after a while, the water in the pot boiled, and the crabs were cooked, and they stopped scratching and felt no pain. ”

Finally, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said softly: "In the end, the monk took out the boiled crab roe, cracked the shell and tasted it, it was unprecedentedly delicious, and finally the merit was completed and the Arhat golden body was cultivated. And the crab is freed from sin. ”

After listening to this, the three laughed, and Emperor Xinghua wiped his tears and said: "Prime ministers are used to making up ......"

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Shangguan shook his head, took an empty crab shell and said: "Your Majesty, this is not apocryphal, Weichen has evidence." As he spoke, he turned over the crab shell, pointed to a cone-shaped membrane in the shell, and said, "In order to thank the crab, the Arhat made it clear to the Buddha that he built a meditation room in the crab shell, chanting the sutras day and night, and sooner or later he would turn them to the west." ”

As he spoke, he carefully cut it along the bottom of the cone with a knife, took it out and flipped it so that the inside was outward, and showed it to the emperor.

The three emperors couldn't help but be stunned, and they also picked up the crab shell in front of them and concocted it in the same way, but without exception, it seemed that the Arhat really incarnated into tens of millions and lived in every crab.

"My Buddha is compassionate!" Zen Master Huineng proclaimed the Buddha's name and sighed: "If you can really go west with this crab, it will be a beautiful thing to talk about." The old monk was more superstitious, and when he saw the little monk in the crab shell, he immediately believed it.

Emperor Xinghua smiled and said: "I understand the meaning of the prime minister, but I don't know if I am the crab roe or the Arhat?" ”

Prince Huineng and Prince Rong suddenly held their breath and looked at Prime Minister Shangguan fixedly, only to hear him say unhurriedly: "Your Majesty is a golden-bodied Arhat, Your Highness and the National Teacher are flesh-bodied Arhats, and they are all Arhats." ”

"And what about this crab?" The corners of Prince Rong's mouth twitched slightly: "This thing is quite miserable." ”

"There's no way around it." Shangguan Yunhe sighed and said: "The state affairs are difficult, if you are good again, I am good everyone, the result is that everyone is not good." As he spoke, he put down the crab shell and said in a deep voice: "The treasury has been losing money for more than ten years, and it is no longer Yin who eats grain, but eats Chen grain and eats ungrain!" You don't have to wait until the end of the day, the finances will collapse long ago! ”

"Weichen believes in the doctrine of the sage, don't he know that the sage cloud: 'If it is not a big evil, it is not easy to change?' But the situation is already bad and can't be worse, it will naturally change, it will change greatly! Shangguan Yunhe looked at Emperor Xinghua calmly, and said word by word: "Just like that monk, if you don't have no choice, how can you touch those crabs with teeth and claws?" ”

The three of them were silent, only to hear the old prime minister's voice slightly hoarse and say: "It's like if you don't eat the first crab, you will never know the deliciousness of the crab, and if you don't change the law for Daqi, you will never know what the effect of the change will be." ”

Emperor Xinghua still has some understanding of the degree of erosion of state affairs, and the reason why he wears a robe and ignores government affairs is that in addition to wanting to correct the results, he also has some evasion meaning. At this time, he was face to face with the old prime minister, and only then did he find that Shangguan Yunhe, who was originally well-maintained, had aged and weakened a lot, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "The prime minister is tired, remember that you didn't have so much white hair years ago." ”

After listening to the emperor's words, Shangguan Yunhe's eyes suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and choked up slightly: "My Shangguan family has been favored by the emperor for a lifetime, and His Majesty is even more generous to the old minister. These gracious ministers dare not forget for a moment, and how dare they slack off and retreat? ”

His confession also caused Emperor Xinghua to sigh with infinite emotion: "When my father was here, he said to me many times that the prime minister is the weapon of the country, and the marshal is the blade of the country. If I want my relatives to believe in it and use it freely, I will be able to keep it all together. As he spoke, he slowly bowed his head to the prime minister, who was already in tears: "Prime minister, don't worry, I have never forgotten the words of the first emperor." ”

The old prime minister suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Emperor Meng Xian and His Majesty are in love, and the old minister is broken and there is no way to repay him!" ”

"Quickly help the prime minister up." Emperor Xinghua looked at his younger brother.

Prince Rong hurriedly got up and helped Shangguan Yunhe up, but said softly: "Xiangye, no one doubts your loyalty and ability, but have you ever thought about those crabs, they are boiled in a pot, it is too painful." "He is a lobbyist elected by the emperors and nobles, so naturally he has to speak for them.

"Your Highness, those who ask you for help are not crabs." Shangguan Yunhe said stiffly: "They occupy sixty percent of the world's land, but they do not dedicate the slightest to the country, and put the burden of supporting a million troops and tens of thousands of officials on the people who only cultivate forty percent of the land. I can't say this anywhere! ”

"The real crabs are those poor people, who are the ones who have suffered and suffered, but who have to give everything for me!" Shangguan Yunhe gritted his teeth and said: "When I don't know, those wealthy lords will eventually pass on most of the taxes to the people!" ”

Prince Rong was frightened by the old prime minister's almost roaring voice, and he was a little speechless for a while, so he could only listen to the old prime minister continue to roar: "Now the imperial court just wants them to share a little bit and spend an unprecedented difficult time together!" Before they could be held accountable for their sins of annexing land, falsely holding official positions, embezzling the state treasury, and perverting the law for bribes, they were stung in the ass and screamed? Can't collect it? ”

The old man has obviously been holding back the fire for a long time, and at this time, what kind of prince of peace can parry? I saw that Prince Rong's face was like earth, and he didn't know where to refute it.

Shangguan Yunhe snorted coldly and ignored him, and arched his hand towards the emperor and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, although it is said that the shore of the land is not the king's minister, but the whole world is the king's land!" The entire land of Daqi is yours, now that the country is in difficulty, and the common people have been squeezed dry, Weichen just asks those 'royal ministers' to hand over what should be handed over, this is just a fur, and it will not damage their roots. ”

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Xinghua said slowly: "The prime minister is not afraid of being hated by these people? "Prime Minister Shangguan is worthy of being a weathered old fox, who woke up the emperor, those people are stealing your money. Sure enough, it worked.

Hearing the emperor say this, the big stone in the heart of Shangguan Prime Minister finally fell to the ground, and he knew that the emperor was finally on his side. He breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his eyelids and said: "Since you have chosen to be loyal to Your Majesty, the old minister no longer cares about personal honor and disgrace." As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at the emperor and said, "I just ask Your Majesty to look at Weichen's liver and brain, and don't let the Han family die." ”

Emperor Xinghua listened to the prime minister's explanation of the aftermath, and said with a dignified expression: "Don't worry, Xiangye, you are loyal to the country and sincere, and I will not let people slander you anymore." He said to the eunuch Huang on the side: "Proposed decree, give the official prime minister Shang Fang the sword, but if there is any more slander of the new policy and slander the prime minister, the three grades of the official, first cut and then play!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Shangguan Yunhe hurriedly bowed.

"I hope that the people and the gentry will not work too hard," Emperor Xinghua said with a sad face: "They are all my children, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat......

"Holy mercy." Prime Minister Shangguan said respectfully: "As long as Daqi can survive and win this battle, we will slowly compensate them." ”

"It's so good, it's hard to ...... prime minister"

'The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches can be followed? Holding Shang Fang's sword, Shangguan Yunhe came out of the Wanshou Palace, looked at the moon in the sky, and his heart floated with such bleak verses.

The emperor agreed that he would continue to change the law, but he did not issue a clear decree and strictly forbade the government and the opposition to criticize the change of the law. But he gave him a Shang Fang sword and let him see who was not pleasing to the eye and cut whom. Regarding the emperor's little abacus, Shangguan Yunhe knew very well in his heart that he was quite a urinal for his country, and it would be difficult to save the emergency now, and then he would kick it away without being a little ashamed.

Doesn't this want to be a bitch and build a torii?

But even if you know this, you still have to do the same? In such a big country, there must be someone who is willing to take responsibility, right?

The old prime minister sighed deeply, looked at the far south, and muttered: "Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao, you have to win this battle no matter what...... Otherwise, my death will not be far off......"

Under the same starry sky, as if he felt something, Zhao Wuji looked up to the north, but his brows were twisted, and he had to admit that he had been tricked...... That Qin Yutian first put on a stunned posture, slammed into the hundreds of thousands of troops head-on, and also used the east wind to punch his master to death, so that he suffered the first big defeat in peacetime.

No one has to believe that the Qin army, whose morale has soared, will definitely march forward, pass the pass, and go all the way to Chaoge. Zhao Wuji was also convinced of this, so he urgently ordered the land and water armies of the Chaoge front to block the Qin army south of Qishui at all costs, and wait for him to lead the reorganized army, cut off its rear route, and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

But who would have thought that the ruthless character who didn't want to die in order to return to China suddenly became like a loach, and when he arrived in Muye City, he no longer went north, but went all the way to the east, and killed the hinterland of Qi State. In half a month, seven major grain-producing mansions were swept away, nearly 10 million stones of new and old grain and grass were burned, and more than 50 cities were burned, and the villages and towns were even more innumerable.

Zhao Wuyi remembered that Prime Minister Shangguan said in the last letter: 'The achievements of the New Deal in the past few years have been burned in one day, and the national strength and people's strength have been regressed by five years! Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable? 'See, the old prime minister can't bear it anymore.

But Zhao Wuji didn't dare to order the garrisons everywhere to resist, because that group of robbers also had an identity - the last 200,000 elite cavalry of the Qin State! Its combat effectiveness and mobility are second to none in the world. With those 18,000 garrison troops, it's not enough to stuff people's teeth.

Zhao Wuji knew very well that there was no need to surround and destroy or severely damage that Qin army without a large army!

And the commander of the other party, that Qin Lei and Qin Yutian, was obviously seriously underestimated before. Under his command, the Qin army was like a dragon moving above the Nine Heavens, and he didn't know where the next target would be, so in this case, how could he talk about encircling and annihilating him?

Therefore, he strictly ordered all prefectures, capitals and counties, as long as they received the alarm, to shrink into the city, and rely on the high walls of the city to resist the iron cavalry of the Qin State, even if the food was confiscated. It must not be like before, in order to grab that bit of food, it was blocked outside the city by the Qin army and broken through.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of troops watched the Qin army wreak havoc in the territory, but they did not move.

He could bear it, but his subordinates were already boiling, and even Wu Zhilong, who had always been calm, came over to ask for battle: "Marshal, the troops have been repaired, and the combat strength has basically recovered. ”

Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly, retracted his gaze, and said softly: "Once Muyeyuan is defeated and let the two forces of the Qin army merge, we will lose the initiative, and now we can only wait and see what happens, and when they have made enough trouble, we will naturally come back." ”

"Just wait?" Wu Zhilong said with a solemn face.

"Yes and no," Zhao Wuyi said in a deep voice: "The old man wants to see the situation in the south, according to reliable intelligence, the Emperor of Qin is not in Qin Yutian's troops. He lowered his voice and said, "And I didn't go back to the Tiger Prison." ”

Wu Zhilong said in disbelief: "What does the big marshal mean? ”

"Wait!" Zhao Wuji said resolutely: "After you get the exact whereabouts of the Emperor of Qin, you will decide whether to go north or south!" ”

Wu Zhilong was finally convinced, nodded slowly, and sighed: "It's just that I have suffered millions of Li people." ”

Zhao Wuyi said calmly: "No matter how arrogant he is, he is just a group of rogues." There are still a few days before the autumn harvest will be over, and when the time comes, the walls will be cleared and the city will shrink, and the Qin army will naturally not be able to stay. ”

This is easy to say, but how many innocent people's blood and tears are hidden behind it?
