Chapter 30: The Man Who Hides in the Shadows
"Now that Your Highness is aware of the current situation of our school, you must also know that we will never cause any trouble to Your Highness, let alone take the lead. With His Highness's means, he will not be afraid of our two weak women! Xingxian took off the cloak on her body, revealing the big red skirt she was wearing inside, and her plump and full body supported the thin dress, revealing a touching curve. Especially the pair of murder weapons on her chest, almost tearing out. It was as if the big red bust on her chest was about to break, and people couldn't help but want to help her hold it.
"Huh...... Your means are getting more and more back, and with your status and status, you actually want to exchange hue for a place of refuge? Then what is the use of the king asking you to come? Li Kuan glanced at her plump and delicate body, although the beautiful curvature made him secretly frightened, but Li Kuan has experienced a lot of wind and rain over the years, and this temptation can still be resisted.
"Your Highness is really that ruthless?" Xingxian Dan Feng glanced at Li Kuan with a variety of eyes, and said in a tone that was so sweet that it could be tired of death.
"Enough!" Li Kuan was a little angry. This woman really regards everyone as a disciple, thinking that anyone can be seduced by her appearance? How can such a woman support the real Yin and Yang family? It seems that the Yin and Yang family is really in decline, and they can no longer regain their former prestige. In comparison, whether it is the Bing family, the Legalist family, or the Mo family, they are all much stronger than these two women. So Li Kuan was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, and thought that these two mysterious women would bring some extra surprises, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
"Your Highness! My Yin and Yang family is still weak. Many secret methods in the door have long been lost, and this is the only way for my mother to keep this vein from being cut off and out of shape for a while. I hope Your Highness will understand! Mercy Xing spoke out to defend Xingxian.
"People are born without choice, but they can choose their behavior, just because they are weak, they have to practice themselves in this way? These are not reasons, although you have been in charge of cheap karma before, but you abide by the bottom line, and this king also has some appreciation, but why have you made a decision now. Do you want to do that? Do you think that there is nothing else that can impress this king except this skin? Li Kuan cleaned up his mood, although he was young. But it's just this body, in terms of his consciousness, he has long been an adult who has been weathered, and these words that seem to be a little young and old are just right for him.
"In the capacity of His Highness. Our two weak women can still enter the eyes of His Royal Highness in addition to this willow posture. The folk girl really can't think of anything else, if my Yin and Yang family hadn't lost those peerless learnings, maybe they would still be able to impress His Highness, but ......" Xingxian, who put on the cloak again, was a little frustrated, and the self-defeating hit made her suffer a blow from Yanzhòng.
"If you hadn't fallen to the ground, would you have begged this king?" Li Kuan didn't know much about these secret schools, but he deduced from the way they had always acted in such a mysterious way, if there was a hidden power behind these two women. How could they come and cling to themselves at this time? These schools of thought are all preserved for their own doctrines, in order to ensure that the inheritance is not lost. They are willing to do anything. At the slightest opportunity, they will set off a monstrous wave so that their doctrine can be brought to light on that cusp.
However, it is precisely because of their heartfelt desire that these people act in an extreme way, which is not tolerated by the world and despised by the world. So they have to shrink up, and the more they make compromises, the more eager they are to show their extraordinaryness in the sun, and thus fall into an infinite cycle of death. Because these doctrines are all incomplete and biased, they cannot be accepted by the rulers like Confucianism. For the innumerable lessons of history have taught those who come after them what the consequences of accepting these doctrines in their entirety are.
You don't see it, Shang Ying transformed Qiang Qin, but the second died; Su Qin lobbied the Six Kingdoms, and the law of uniting the people allowed the people of the Six Kingdoms to survive under the iron hooves of the Qin State. But it could only survive for so many decades, and finally the six countries turned into a wisp of smoke.
You don't see it, Emperor Yang is strict with the law, and he is strong with horses, but because of the three expeditions to Goryeo, the great Sui was buried, and he could only be buried in a thin coffin after his death in Jiangzhou.
These are the consequences of these hidden doctrines to carry out their ideas into the country, and they only focus on those things that they care about, but ignore the rest of the factors, and affect the whole body, causing the whole country to collapse with a bang! Therefore, although Li Kuan already had the intention of taking in these two women, he never thought of learning the methods of the Yin and Yang family, but wanted to find those hidden people through them. These people are restless factors, their behavior is extreme and stubborn, and if they stab themselves in the back in the future, they will want to cry without tears. So Li Kuan is like packing up these people first, and then talking about the rest of the matter. Anyway, there will be no war at the Datang border in the past two years, and only after two or three years will Tubo come to pick up the tiger whiskers of the Tang Dynasty, and these unstable guys will be cleaned up during this time.
Li Kuan was worried about these things, so as early as the second year of Zhenguan, when the locust plague was everywhere, he was already planning in secret, maybe he was still a child at the beginning, but it was precisely because he was a child that he would not attract the attention of those who were hiding in the shadows. So I really let him use food and medicine at that time, and it didn't take much effort to win over a group of simple farmers, these seemingly inconspicuous people are the best eyeliner in the world.
There is a saying that "the eyes of the masses are bright", although this is an advertising slogan of later generations, but it also contains a simple truth, the most in the world are these ordinary people, and every big man is surrounded by these countless small people, and they are the largest part of the world. Without them, what would be left of the world? Without these people, where would the nobles still enjoy the luxurious life they have now? Without countless people, what is the use of this vast empire? Li Kuan's cheap father, Emperor Li Er, also learned about this in the years that followed, so he also sighed, 'The people are the water, and the king is the boat.' Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. Although this truth was first said by Xunzi, Li Er also deeply understood this truth.
And Li Kuan does not have such a high consciousness. But he is not a narrow-minded prince of the Tang Dynasty, as a socialist young man born in the spring breeze and grew up under the red flag, he grew up listening to the radio in the village: "The great Chairman Mao taught us", and he was deeply touched by the power of the people. And then was caught.
In fact, Li Kuan didn't think that these people could help him do anything at that time, but just thought that he had his own advantages in his hands and helped a few more people. The result was later by a coincidence. found out that in fact, these people are the best spies, and what happened in the entire Chang'an City can't be hidden from them, maybe they don't know how confidential the information is. But just know a rough idea. It was enough for Li Kuan. That time, because a few little girls were clamoring to go out of the city to go out, Li Kuan couldn't find a good place to go for a while, but found a hidden valley in the unintentional words of a common people. Since then, this valley has become a secret stronghold for Li Kuan and his siblings, and now several huts have been built there, as well as swing shelves, flower beds, etc., and the brothers and sisters will go to that place every year.
Since the discovery of this easy source channel, coupled with the mixed news of the wine fairy in the middle. Li Kuan can be said to be deaf and clear-sighted in Chang'an. For the major families, each hidden school has a deep understanding. Just like this time, Li Kuan temporarily wanted to make something happen, so he directly found the branch of Jiuxianju in that place in Luoyang, and learned about the distribution of power of the major families, so as to accurately release the news he wanted to spread. After that, the movements of the major families, as long as they reached the place where Li Kuan's wine immortal residence was within reach, news would reach Li Kuan, and then Li Kuan was responding.
The topic is a little far, and now it is back to Li Kuan's small courtyard in Chang'an City, where the atmosphere is a little weird, two women wearing cloaks stand in front of Li Kuan, Li Kuan is still sitting like that, leaning on the back of the Taishi chair, leisurely drinking the tea in his hand, and from time to time gently turning the tea leaves on the water surface with the lid of the teacup.
"Your Highness wants to use our mother and mother to lure out the people of the hundred families who are hiding in the shadows?" Lianxing stared at Li Kuan with her autumn-like eyes, her long eyelashes blinking slightly, and her eyes were like stars in the night sky, looking far away and beautiful.
"Yes, you people, you are hiding too deeply, maybe you just want to show your doctrine and want to revive the glory of the original hundred schools of thought, but your radical ideas will affect thousands of Li people in the Tang Dynasty, whether you stir up the storm in the court or set off a war at the border, it is the people who suffer. So they must be found, and the power of the uncontrolled zhì is better than the lack of power! Li Kuan put down the teacup and said. He didn't get up, but he made the two women in front of him feel like they were being targeted by a tiger coming down the mountain, and the feeling of looking down on them like labeled prey made their vests shiver.
"We can't find them!" Lian Xing was a little angry, there were only these two people left in front of Li Kuan's eyes, where did they have the strength to find people from other schools, it was too late to hide.
"You don't have to look for it, as long as they come to you!" Li Kuan said indifferently.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, uncontrolled strength is better than no strength, this must be the same for His Royal Highness the King of Chu, because the Holy Lord does not know the master behind His Royal Highness the King of Chu! Are they uncontrolled? Xingxian is worthy of being a long-sleeved and good dancer at the beginning, and he seized Li Kuan's words to turn against the army. Let Li Kuan suffocate what he wanted to say next, because what she said was what Li Kuan had been evading all along, Li Er had never given up on the scientists he had made up, which made Li Kuan endlessly troubled, where did he go to find Chen Xuan, Xu Xiake, and Du Mu? I'm afraid that the current ancestors of these people are still tadpoles, where does he have the ability to penetrate the long river of time and space to capture the people of the next generation? He hasn't even figured out how he came to be in this era!
"You don't have to bother with this, now is the time for you to want to serve me and distinguish the occasion!" Li Kuanqiang held on and let go of the cruel words.
"This point, the people's daughter naturally knows, just remind His Royal Highness the King of Chu to pay attention to her situation!" The plump woman giggled, as if she was very happy to see Li Kuan's embarrassed appearance.
"Do you agree or not, give me a word! If you don't, you can leave now! Li Kuan didn't want to say more here, so he gave a multiple-choice question directly.
"Of course I promised, if I don't agree, I'm afraid the two girls won't be able to get out!" The plump Xingxian smiled again, and the plump on her chest shook slightly with her trembling fragrant shoulders, allowing Li Kuan to see what it means to be a wave of unevenness.
"In this case, this king will spread the true situation of your division in the next few days, and I think those guys who are hiding in the shadows will be interested in this matter, and they will definitely reveal their whereabouts at that time, so our chance will come!" Li Kuan stood up, and Li Kuan still gave a certain amount of respect to those who really took refuge in him. Given a relatively equal footing, at least it seems.
"Then as the price of serving His Highness, the daughter of the folk girl will follow His Highness, be a personal maidservant, and I don't think it will tarnish His Highness's reputation!" The mature and sophisticated woman, who was well versed in the ways of these transactions, directly offered to leave Lianxing behind and give Li Kuan as a personal maid as a hostage.
"Huh?" Li Kuan turned his head and looked at Lian Xing, who was standing on the side, at this time, the face of this famous piano artist in Chang'an was already pale. She never thought that Xingxian's mother would leave her here, didn't she just come and have a look? (To be continued......)
