Chapter 90: The Foolish People and the Wise People

Lu Bing made slight revisions while watching, marked out the part he had modified, and mentioned the opening words: Chaos has not opened the world, and no one has seen it. Since Pangu broke Hongmeng, it has opened up from Ziqing to distinguish turbidity. Shake and plant the masses to look up to benevolence, and invent all things are good. If you want to know the Yuan Gong of the Sitting Society, you must watch the Legend of Journey to the West.

In fact, the story has not changed, Lu Bing has also read Journey to the West before, but this Journey to the West is half-literate and half-white, and what he read before was just vernacular. The synopsis of the story is the same, and the relationship between the characters is even more the same, but Lu Bing at this time has a different feeling when he reads it. Lu Bing suddenly understood that in fact, the book was still the same book, but his perspective was different, so the content of the book he saw was different.

In today's Lu Bing's view, this book is a book suitable for all ages, children see the bizarre ghost stories in it, and young people see the gods and demons, as for Lu Bing, what he sees is a great irony of the Ming Dynasty and dissatisfaction with society.

Among them, there is contempt for the emperor's belief in Taoism, and there is also ridicule of the chaos and squalor of officialdom, such as these Taoist immortals are either unclean themselves, or they are unfavorable in managing their subordinates, just like those greedy subordinates in the Ming officialdom who are even more cruel to the people. And those monsters who have a relationship with the background have been taken away, and those who have no relationship with the background were killed by Sun Wukong, no matter how much mana they do, as long as there is no one who doesn't matter, there is no mercy that is not easy to cultivate. The robbers and dragon kings represent the business community of the Ming Dynasty, and the government does not open the free market, and forcibly dares to pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Similarly, Tang Seng learned scriptures and was a joke. He was originally a disciple of the Buddha, and he died after nine reincarnations, the largest of the nine numbers. The tenth time he passed guò, a dirty birth, and finally drifted from the river to the old monk, and since then he has become a Buddhist disciple. Tang Seng doesn't know spells, has no guts, has nothing but a stubborn heart to learn scriptures, and is very willful and paranoid, and even has a lot of trivial things, as for his skills, he is not as good as the ability of the white dragon horse under the seat. People are old spirits, ghosts and spirits. The apprentice and the mount have lived a fraction of the time than him, so why would he attain the right result and become the master of everyone is not his Buddha nature. Rather, it is because he is a disciple of the Buddha.

There are all kinds of relationships along the way, and the other book soul Sun Wukong can be described as a tragic character, if you look at this book according to the line of Sun Wukong, then this is a tragic novel. That Monkey King who is not afraid of the sky and the earth is not afraid of the Monkey King who does not look like people bowing their heads. The dashing Monkey King. That Monkey King, who was suppressed by power, wanted freedom that was not allowed by feudal society, and later even if he embarked on the road of learning scriptures, he was still full of grievances. was framed by those immortals, puzzled by Tang Seng, and put on a tight spell to bind him.

And Sun Wukong did not go to the end of the Western Heaven, he was killed when he was the real and false Monkey King, and it was the six-eared macaque that turned into Sun Wukong. Continued the following story. The reason for this is only because of the hatred between the Buddha and Master Sun Wukong in their previous lives. The great Buddha on the surface, those sanctimonious Taos, can't even tolerate a monkey. This book is full of anger and filth, which makes Lu Bing feel very aggrieved after reading it, and he just wants to drink again and again to express the depression in his heart.

I only heard the drums and beats the three watches on the upper floor, and Lu Bing was turning around, and he had too much in his heart. This novel that combines fantasy and reality must be a masterpiece, and it would be too sorry for Wu Chengen not to print it, and it is also a weapon. Because the text describes the current situation of the Ming Dynasty everywhere, but the historical background is placed in the Tang Dynasty. If this book is widely circulated, with a little guidance, and with the help of those who tend to be inflammatory, then it will become a powerful tool of public opinion for attacking the remnants of the Ming.

And Wu Chengen is also lucky, it can be seen that this person is young but sees the problem so thoroughly, although he is a little radical and impulsive, but this is also the state that young people should be. If this person can be trained, he will definitely be able to become a talented person. The reason why he is said to be lucky is because if this book was printed back then, it would have been popular, and if it was popular, someone would naturally understand the meaning of the book, and there would definitely be villains suing the narrow-minded Zhu Houxi, I am afraid that Wu Chengen will die without a place to bury him, and this book will be wiped out.

"Feng Bao." Lu Bing shouted.

A little eunuch outside the main hall poked his head in and said, "Lord, Gonggong Feng just went to sleep, do you want to call him?" ”

Lu Bing smiled: "Hehe, it's too late for me to forget about it, and he's also very tired, come, it's the same if you come." ”

"It's the lord." The little inner prisoner hurriedly came to Lu Bing's side, and was very relaxed and comfortable on the spot under Lu Bing, at least dignified, and lived like a person. Compared with the previous encounters in Daming Palace, that Zhu Houxi is an evil devil.

Lu Bing asked, "I haven't asked you what your name is?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, my name is Liu Xi'er." The little inner eunuch was very happy, Lu Bing didn't have a frame and asked himself so kindly, for Liu Xi, although Lu Bing has not yet been called the emperor, he is no different from the emperor.

Lu Bing nodded: "I'll write you a codex, you take the codex out of the palace, and then give this book to Lord Xia Yanxia, you know where his mansion is, right?" ”

"The little ones know." Liu Xi replied,

Lu Bing lifted the pen to play a little bit, and the pen power penetrated the back of the paper into the wood, and at first glance it was written by a military general, but looking at these words was very smart and extraordinary. After Lu Bing finished writing, he said: "Send it out, just put it in the concierge, you don't need to wake up Lord Xia." This sentence should be specially explained. ”

Liu Xi was able to leave the palace with Lu Bing's handwritten codex, so he hurriedly took the book and went out of the palace.

Lu Bing sat on the dragon chair, with thousands of thoughts in his head, thinking about many military affairs, and slowly sank into his dreams. When the sky was bright, Lu Bing woke up slowly, stretched his waist, and the palace door was wide open, and the important ministers came in to discuss matters. And Ji Lianhong was still in a coma, Lu Bing was afraid that something would happen to him, so he went to take a look, only to see Ji Lianhong's whole body relaxed, and his true qi was running, and he was sleeping while practicing, it seemed that it was difficult to have such a comfortable and safe place to sleep in the barren mountains and mountains, so he slept for so long. The important ministers discussed the matter and said some things in the place under their jurisdiction now, and Lu Bing left a notebook to make some instructions on the spot, which will not be expressed for the time being.

After the retreat from the dynasty. Lu Bing left Xia Yan and Yan Song and said, "Lord Xia, have you read that book, and read it to Lord Yan after reading it?" ”

Xia Yan clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for your love." I sent someone to deliver this book last night, but I deliberately explained that I wouldn't let Xuanchen wake up. Chen has been reading this book since he got up this morning, and he has read it many times so far, and he has a deep understanding that the person who wrote this book is a great talent. The minister also wanted to read it several more times, and it reflected many problems and represented the views of the people. And the plot in the book is wonderful and addictive. The minister is shallow, and he has never seen such a wonderful script. ”

"Don't be busy just yet. Let's show it to Lord Yan first. Yan Song, you ordered someone to copy it down. You haven't seen it yet, and we'll discuss it further when you're done, but I thought. This is a novel that could have opened up the wisdom of the people. At the same time, it is also a novel that could have attacked the remnants of the Ming and caused the people to judge which was right and which was wrong. Lu Bing said: "Therefore, I thought that this book must be printed in large quantities. The Di Bao and the Minbao, which had been discontinued before, are also going to be copied, and this book is going to be sold to the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, and I think it will become an enduring subject in the hands of the people, after tea and dinner, in the mouths of calligraphers. Even if you want to ban the book. It is also difficult to hide the mouth of the world, and public opinion attacks will not cause direct effects. But it is easy for the blind to lose the hearts of the people, and if there is no king, there will be no people, and the king without the people will become a loner. ”

"Lord," Yan Song said, "Although my subordinates haven't read this book, seeing that both Lord Gong and Lord Xia have such praise for this book, it is naturally a good book." But hearing what the saint said, his subordinates couldn't help but be a little worried. Things are often a double-edged sword, and while striking at the remnants of the Ming in public opinion, will it also have some bad effects because of the opening of people's wisdom? For example, the implementation of many laws and regulations will be hindered to a greater or lesser extent. The subordinates had the courage to glance at it, and the subordinates thought that it was better to manage the foolish people, so it was a bit overkill to open all kinds of books and periodicals. ”

Lu Bing is not angry, Lu Bing pays attention to speaking freely, anyone's different views can be spoken, and the sea is tolerant. Lu Bing shook his head and said, "Although Lord Yan is reasonable, there is also a slight one-sidedness. Foolish people are easy to manage, but they are also easy to be instigated, and if they are wise and wise, they will create more wealth and more wisdom to promote the development of the whole country. At the same time, when the people have wisdom, they will urge us to work hard and not fool the people. Foolish people are pathetic, and the people of a country are foolish people, so how smart can this country be? ”

"When I was in charge of Shandong, I let the people speak freely, increase their knowledge, and let them gain wisdom. The result? I think this victory can show that Shandong Jian'er has succeeded one after another, no one is foolish and filial, they know what is the right thing and what is the right person. I can't cultivate foolish people again just because I have decided to make the world a world now, yes, maybe we can work hard together, and we can also make the country strong, but if we all rely on official guidance, and the people are brainless walking corpses, this country will not go too far. When the time comes, if there is a little demon bewitchment, the people will be confused, and the world will not be chaotic. It seems that the wise people are easy to mess, but in fact it is not. Lu Bing said.

Yan Song pondered for a long time and said, "The subordinates still need to slowly digest the lord's words. ”

"The saint is no more than my lord." At this time, Xia Yan fully understood Lu Bing's words, and said with his fists clenched.

Lu Bing waved his hand and said: "Lord Xia will also praise me, and said that he praised me, and today there is a minister who will play a song, saying that I will be enthroned and sit in the palace, and I will also be asked to choose the name of the country." Actually, when I ascended the throne, I wanted to issue a series of decrees, which I wanted to do before, even though there had never been one in the previous dynasty, and then the entire country's system would change dramatically. I still have to think about the country name, and you can help me think about it more. In addition, some people say that the power of Jinyiwei is too big now, what do you two think? ”

Yan Song said: "The subordinates think that it is okay at present, the lord is now in charge of the Jinyi Guard, and he is working hard, and it is precisely because of the existence of the Jinyi Guard that the country's law and order can be preserved, and the officials can work so hard." Therefore, the subordinates thought that they didn't need to pay attention to it, even if it was to change, it was not now. ”

"Where's Lord Xia?" Lu Bing asked.

Xia Yan said: "The minister also thinks it is inappropriate, such an intelligence agency to monitor all walks of life, it is a deformed product, and it is even more worrying, it must be restrained by the law in the hearts of the people, and the benevolent government is the right way." However, as Lord Yan said, it is precisely because of their existence that the law can be implemented. Therefore, it can't be changed now, and how to change it in the future, Xia didn't think about it for a while, but it must not be a long-term solution for an institution like Jinyiwei to exist. ”

"The two adults are reasonable, and Lu also pondered these questions, and he couldn't figure it out." Lu Bing said, and then said: "Okay, since we can't figure it out, let's not think about it for the time being, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." You guys go down first, I dealt with the official documents all night last night, so I took a nap, and I really couldn't hold on. I'm going to sleep for a while, Yan Song, after you finish reading, call Lord Xia to enter the palace at any time, and let's discuss how to resume the newspaper and the distribution of this book. ”

"Yes." The two replied and withdrew. (To be continued......)
