Chapter 239: When the world is at your fingertips
Fang Jishi took the book list opened by Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, out of the Zhou Library, ate breakfast on the street, and went to the court.
He didn't let the four special operators and the guard follow him, but let them stay to protect Lao Tzu.
This is to the court, you can't bring strangers there, and you won't let them enter the court when you go. And also! Fang Jishi has not yet applied for the identity of these four people, and it is not possible to walk in the palace and Luoyi City without a cover.
The former prince's guard has an identity, and his identity is still the guard of the prince Ji Meng.
Coming here, there is still some time before the early dynasty. According to Lao Tzu's intentions, he asked the guards to investigate, did King Zhou Jing, the Son of Heaven, get up? If not, just wait. If you get up, let the guards inform the little eunuch, and then let the little eunuch say goodbye to the Son of Heaven.
If you say that you have something important, make your meaning clear, and the guards generally have to do it, and no one dares to delay the major affairs of the Son of Heaven. The major event that delays the Son of Heaven is not only to kill the head, but also to punish the family, and even the family.
Seeing that it was the Dharma Protector General, the guards naturally ran to visit and ask the little eunuch about the situation of the Son of Heaven. When the little eunuch heard that it was the Dharma Protector General who came to find the Lord, he went in and asked the old eunuch beside the Son of Heaven. When the old eunuch heard that it was the Dharma Protector General who came to the Son of Heaven in an emergency, he naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported to the Son of Heaven.
At this time, King Zhou Jing, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had already gotten up and was practicing martial arts in the courtyard to exercise his body. Hearing that the Dharma Protector General Fang Jishi was coming, he hurriedly greeted: "Hurry up, please!" β
Zhou Jingwang actually used the word "please", it can be seen! He attaches great importance to the cornerstones of the party.
The old eunuch was surprised, the word "please" is in the dictionary of the Son of Heaven?
The old eunuch hurriedly sent the little eunuch to follow him and led Fang Jishi into the inner room.
Inside the inner room, Zhou Jingwang sat behind the desk on the high platform, but his eyes were looking out without blinking.
Fang Jishi hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed, and King Zhou Jing asked him to get up and sit down again. Tell him not to be rigid and not to be clichΓ©.
"The great master asked his ministers to send a list of books, and asked the lord to send someone to do it. The great teacher said that the Great Zhou Library cannot be without a collection of books! Someone can borrow it at any time. These are the most urgently needed books, and he has not yet copied the rest......"
The old eunuch took the bamboo slip and handed it to King Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jingwang took the book list and read it roughly, and then explained to the old eunuch: "Remember to remind the widow in the early dynasty!" That's a big deal! β
"Whoa!"
At the bottom of the high platform, the old eunuch had already prepared a table and a seat. Tea and snacks are placed on the desk.
"Get some more snacks for the General!" Seeing Fang Jishi looking at the tea and snacks in front of him, King Zhou Jing commanded.
The old eunuch said yes again, and turned to give orders to the little eunuch.
"Eat! Eat! General! Thank you! Get up so early and come to the widow! On behalf of the people of the world, the widow thanked the general! β
Hearing Zhou Jingwang say this, Fang Jishi was ashamed, couldn't sit still, and was about to kowtow to him when he got up.
"Excuse me! Excuse me! General! Excuse me! The widow is not the kind of person who wants to save face and be polite! The widow is practical! Whoever can truly think about the people of the world and do practical things for the people of the world, the few will be convinced! If you meet a sage, the widow is willing to give in! The widow is not the kind of person who covets the throne! β¦β¦β
Seeing Fang Jishi looking at him, King Zhou Jing waved his hand and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Eat! Eat! The widow is hungry too! Don't talk about it! When the widow talks about this, he can't stop talking! Eat! Eat! Zhou Jingwang said, picked up a piece of dim sum, and ate it.
After a while, the old prisoner brought a plate of various snacks.
Fang Jishi ate breakfast outside, and he could see so many fancy dim sum, which the Son of Heaven usually ate, and couldn't help but eat it.
Well! Good taste! Sure enough, the food made by the imperial chef for the Son of Heaven tasted unusual. It's just ordinary food, I don't know how these ancient chefs made it together, it's so delicious.
After eating breakfast, Fang Jishi came back from the Son of Heaven's dormitory to pay off.
Lao Tzu didn't eat breakfast, and he was still writing at the desk.
He didn't bother Lao Tzu to write the book list, and sat back where he sat last night, and dozed off.
After a while, another person woke up laughing self-deprecatingly.
He remembered what King Zhou Jing had said to him, what he had said more than once. And! Zhou Jingwang's reassurance and trust in him.
King Zhou Jing told him more than once that if there was such a sage who could govern the world well, stop the disputes of the princes, dominate the world, and let the people of the world live a happy and peaceful life, he was willing to give in.
And also! Zhou Jingwang's level of confidence in him made him unimaginable.
It's true! In the face of such a king, no! It's the Son of Heaven! Are you going to hold him hostage?
In fact! Fang Cornerstone didn't know! Zhou Jingwang is a set of things on the surface and behind them, saying it to others and doing it for others to see. In fact! In the palace, there are archers and traps hidden everywhere, and if Fang Jishi dares to attack him, he will be crushed.
Of course! It's not just for cornerstones. But! At least from the day Fang Jishi entered the palace, King Zhou Jing was on guard against him. Everything that is done in front of him is superficial and pretentious.
Anyway! It is impossible for him, King Zhou Jing, to give up the world to others. At least! It is also necessary to give Zen to people with royal blood. He always said that "Zen let go" or something, and pretended to cry, all of which were testing the final bottom line of Fang Jishi and others. If you take his words seriously, you're in his hands.
Fang Jishi didn't feel dangerous at all, but felt that everything was within reach. If he killed King Zhou Jing, with his martial arts, he could kill him at any time. If he is hijacked, it is also easy, as long as he is more proactive, he can succeed.
But! He didn't want to do that, and gradually felt that it was unnecessary and meaningless.
As King Zhou Jing said, even if you get the world, what's the point? How many days will you be the son of heaven and the king? Momentary pleasure?
Just to be the son of heaven and the king for a few days, greedy for personal momentary enjoyment without regard for the consequences? What's the point? As a person who has been educated and cultivated by the party for so many years, he really can't do it.
It is very easy to assassinate King Zhou Jing, the Son of Heaven. It is also very easy to hold King Zhou Jing or the future son of heaven the crown prince Ji Meng. But! What's the use of you getting the Son of Heaven? If you don't have troops at your hands and no people to assist you, you will be alone, alone, and you won't be able to hold out for long.
Don't talk about the world! Right in front of you! The internal affairs of the royal family are enough for you to toss. Prince Ji Dynasty is the most powerful, in addition! Behind him is the state of Chu. The second major force is the power of King Zhou Jing, the Son of Heaven, no matter what people say, the Son of Heaven, not only has the strength of the Ming at hand, but also the forces of the Dark. Once you behead or hold the Son of Heaven hostage, it is impossible for these people to obey you, and they will definitely resist.
The result is predictable, you don't have the force to hold you hostage, and you will end up in defeat. Even if you are confident that you have that ability, what's the point of tossing like that?
As a person who has been educated and cultivated by the party for so many years, he really can't do it.
Fang Jishi didn't know that the little prince Ji Kuo had a greater power behind the scenes. And! There is also the Jin Kingdom behind him. The strength of the Jin State is not lost to the Chu State. And! The Jin Kingdom and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were close neighbors.
I don't want to assassinate or hold Zhou Tianzi hostage, so? I crossed over to protect Lao Tzu to spread Taoism and Confucius to spread Confucianism?
Come to think of it! Fang Jishi smiled bitterly and shook his head and opened his eyes.
Saw! Lao Tzu held the bamboo slip in his hand again and walked towards him.
