In the desert, a monk dressed in a golden robe and holding a Zen staff stood on his shoulder a golden Peng bird, which is the legendary golden-winged Dapeng bird.

At a glance, a golden world, except for yellow sand, is still yellow sand.

However, the steps of this monk seemed to be slow, but in fact, step by step, before the wind and sand could sweep into the sky, this somewhat eccentric monk walked out of the center of the desert.

Looking at the direction of Qin Ling, he whispered to himself: "It seems that someone has arrived first." ”

"It hasn't been like this for years. ”

"Amitabha. ”

The monk continued to walk forward, in the direction of the cloud upper city.

Uptown in the clouds.

After Yuan Zheng learned that the Phoenix Dance City had been taken down, he was not surprised at all, with the ability of the Black Dragon King, having ten Heavenly Realm masters was tantamount to adding wings to a tiger, and he could easily do many things.

Da Zhou is about to die.

A huge empire, suddenly went to extinction, it is really a sad thing, the former Great Zhou, is a real state of etiquette, strong soldiers and horses, if there is no royal turmoil, perhaps, will become a more tricky behemoth than the Great Qin.

But there is no way, the fortress often collapses from the inside.

Yuan Zheng was already thinking in his heart who would be more suitable to guard the land of the Great Zhou.

Today's sunshine is good, the wind is beautiful, the sound of cicadas has begun to disturb the summer, summer has come, and there are many wild fruits in the mountains of the Qinling Mountains.

Yuan Zheng wanted to go to Qinling once and pick some wild fruits to eat.

But the government is busy, and there is no time to go.

Su Yi was called, and Yuan Zheng really couldn't get an answer in his heart, so he asked: "From the perspective of senior brother, who will be more suitable to guard Da Zhou." ”

Great Wei already has Yuan Tieshan personally guarding it, and Yuan Zheng doesn't need to worry about anything.

But Da Zhou really couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Su Yi said: "Your father is his own person after all, and it doesn't hurt to guard the land of Great Wei, but the person who can guard the Great Zhou is best to be a person who is neither weak nor strong, if it is too strong, it may become a burden to us, and if it is too weak, it will actually become a burden to us." ”

"Black Dragon King, Tai Hong, Tai Ming, these people are all very neat people, masters of the Heavenly Realm, they have never liked to deal with complicated government affairs, they must not be able to count on it, besides, as our core combat force, they must not be very far from the Cloud Upper City. ”

"I have a candidate in mind, but I don't know what you think?"

Now that Senior Brother Su Yi already has a suitable candidate in his heart, Yuan Zheng was overjoyed and asked: "Senior Brother can just say it, I thought to myself, the person who can be recognized by Senior Brother must not be an ordinary person." ”

Su Yi took a sip of tea, she had already gone to Qinling to pick the tip of her teeth once, and it was particularly refreshing, refreshing, and refreshing.

Su Yi said: "Wang Wei. ”

Wang Wei!?

This time, Yuan Zheng was really very surprised, Wang Wei is also the most bizarre person, a good general, and then he developed into a politician in a daze, it seems that he has done a good job in the city of Huayang, he is impressive, and his talent and mind have begun to emerge.

Su Yi said slowly: "Wang Wei back then, it was because his vision and mind were far above the double walls of Xishu and above the emperor of Xishu that he suffered from suspicion, and before he could realize his ideals, he became a hurried visitor in Xishu. ”

"I have secretly observed Wang Wei, although this person does not have the talent of an emperor, nor the combat power of an invincible general, but he does have the talent of a prince and general, the only fly in the ointment is that this person does not seem to be so concerned about his martial arts cultivation, just follow fate, break through the bottleneck, that is, break through, no breakthrough, he doesn't seem to care much about this matter in his heart, but when he is asked to pick the beam, he will definitely not have any excuses. ”

Yuan Zheng certainly believed in Su Yi's personal ability.

Senior Brother Su Yi has made such an evaluation of Wang Wei, and it is inconvenient for Yuan Zheng to say anything more.

But I have to admit that Wang Wei is indeed an ordinary cardinal, and whenever Wang Wei is needed, Wang Wei has never had anything to say.

Yuan Zheng suddenly smiled and said: "Uncle Wang Wei, if you suddenly become the king of Zhou from the city lord of Huayang City, will it be very unexpected, perhaps, even Uncle Wang Wei himself will be unexpected." ”

"Judging from Uncle Wang Wei's current political achievements, one step to the sky, thinking about it, will cause dissatisfaction among many soldiers, perhaps, even the Xishu Shuangbi is not so happy. ”

Whether it is military merits or political achievements, Wang Wei has no hands on it.

However, no matter when, Wang Wei can handle it, no matter what he does.

In addition to the low level of dance cultivation, this person seems to be a person with no shortcomings, he may be a radical when he is young, but when he is older, the edges and corners of the year have already been smoothed out, and at the same time, he also maintains the pure and beautiful state of mind of a young man, such a person is a real rare commodity.

Su Yi said: "Suddenly, it is indeed a little inappropriate to put Wang Wei in such a high position, but we really don't have a more suitable candidate." ”

"Wang Wei's martial arts cultivation, if he is allowed to march and fight now, he will naturally not be able to do it, he can only engage in politics and be an official with both civil and military skills. ”

"In my opinion, after the battle of the Great Zhou is over, we will take Wang Wei and select a few highly respected people to come out and draw lots to decide who the King of Zhou of the Great Zhou is, from the very beginning, Wang Wei is the King of Zhou in our hearts. ”

When the time comes, after the results of the lot come out, no matter how unconvinced the soldiers are, they will naturally be blessed. ”

Solving this matter by drawing lots is something Yuan Zheng didn't expect, and laughed: "There are still many ways for senior brother." ”

Su Yi said: "With Wang Wei's ability, when he first became the king of Zhou, there will definitely be many things that he is not suitable for, but it won't take long for Wang Wei's ability to heal the wounds of Da Zhou." ”

Yuan Zhengdao: "But what if we find a more suitable candidate to become the king of Zhou." ”

Su Yi took another sip of tea and said slowly: "If this is really the case, then we can only talk about it then, besides, how we discuss this matter, it is us, and it depends on how Princess Dongfang Mingyue views this matter." ”

Yuan Zhengdao: "This is also true. ”

Dongfang Mingyue's attitude is still very important in this matter.

Maybe when the time comes, Dongfang Mingyue thinks that whoever is more pleasing to the eye will be the future King of Zhou.

Su Yi suddenly felt a feeling in her heart and felt a great pressure.

The same is true for Yuan Zheng.

A huge pressure enveloped the entire Cloud Upper City, alarming Heixue, Mengjin, and Vermilion Bird far away in Yongzhou.

Yuan Zheng and Su Yi walked out of the Hall of Ten Thousand Worlds, but it depends on who made such a big move, and there are only a handful of people in the world who dare to come directly to the cloud city to call the board.

On the gate of the city in the clouds, the crossbowmen were waiting for the battle, and the general Lin Guang, holding a black spear in his hand, mocked the wind under his crotch, and stared at the city gate.

There were just two people coming, one was an old man with a bookcase on his back, his face couldn't be seen clearly, and he was wearing a simple and simple straw hat.

Another person, a young man of about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in a green robe, with a sword at his waist, and a face like a crown of jade, stood quietly beside the old man.

Yuan Zheng and Su Yi came to the city wall.

Lin Guang stepped forward and said, "Lord, these two came suddenly, and they don't know where they came from or where they are going. ”

Yuan Zheng looked at the one below and shouted softly, "I don't know why Mr. came to me here." ”

The old man raised his head, revealing a soft face, his eyes were black and white, and the breath that could be revealed was quite peaceful.

The old man said: "The old man came here with nothing important, just to ask for a glass of water to drink. ”

Yuan Zheng frowned slightly, after this posture came out, Yuan Zheng also knew who the person in front of him was.

He instructed his senior brother Su Yi: "Prepare a meal with pepper fennel." ”

Su Yi snorted, and Su Yi also knew who the one under the city wall was.

Yuan Zheng jumped down, with a wave of his big sleeves, a table was placed in front of him, Yuan Zheng and the old man sat across from each other, there was a big bowl of good tea on the table, it was the tip of the buds picked by Su Yi from the depths of the Qinling Mountains, and it was particularly refreshing to drink and broaden his mind.

The fragrance of tea wafted and wafted throughout the world.

Yuan Zheng said softly: "When the saint visited, he was disappointed in the distance, and he hoped that the saint would forgive his sins. ”

The first generation of Confucian sages, under the command of peach and plum into the stream, there are countless students.

He once created learning and set the rules for this heaven and earth.

The master of heaven and earth is from the handwriting of this one.

The Confucian sage spoke: "I came here to ask for a glass of water to drink, and I have no intention of asking for sin. ”

The Confucian sage came here, in person, not to ask for sin, but it was better than to ask for sin.

Yuan Zheng said: "In this way, the sage came here to ask for an explanation for countless Confucian disciples?"

From the beginning of the establishment of the top of the clouds, Yuan Zheng did not rely so much on Confucianism, and even had the intention of suppressing more, and used a large number of the rest of the hundreds of schools, anyway, the status of Confucianism, here at the top of the clouds, can be said to have plummeted.

Not to mention anything else, Yuan Zheng just doesn't like the so-called Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher.

There are not many things that violate the ban with martial arts, but there are often things like Confucianism and literature violating the law.

In the world of great controversy, Confucianism is dead.

Almost all scholars just care about their fame and fortune, and what their future is, and they have never thought about opening peace for all generations.

The Confucian sage said: "It's not enough to ask for an explanation, I just want to ask Your Excellency what are the rules." ”

Yuan Zheng frowned.

He felt a powerful oppressive force, this oppressive force, even if there were three strong dragon veins in his body, even if there was a wooden sword blossoming on his waist and a fierce sword covering the sky and the sea, it seemed that he could not resist this oppressive force.

He replied in a deep voice: "This oppressive force of Mr. is the rule, which makes people unable to move, so they can only listen to Mr. quietly." ”

I don't know how many years have passed, countless people have confused rules and upbringing, and then rules and upbringing have always been muddy, and they no longer distinguish each other.

The Confucian sage said: "In this way, Your Excellency really intends to curb Confucianism and make it impossible for the scholars in the world to cultivate themselves and rule the country and level the world?"

Yuan Zhengdao: "Since ancient times, Confucianism has lived in the high temple, and there has been a majestic emperor who deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, which is indeed to set rules for this heaven and earth, but it also puts shackles on people's hearts. ”

"Before Confucianism, the dynasty lived long, and after Confucianism, the world will be divided for a long time. ”

"I don't know how many scholars pretend to be high and want to open peace for all generations, but after reaching the peak, they only have their own fame and fortune in their hearts, and only their reputation after death, who have ever considered the true thoughts of the people. ”

"When did you ever care, sir's teachings? ”

"Confucian rules, in my opinion, are nothing more than a sharp blade in the hands of politicians. ”

"You are a murder weapon, your rules are murder weapons, and your disciples are murder weapons. ”

When a person, whether he is a good person or a bad person, when he has a certain amount of knowledge and ability, it is no longer important whether he is good or bad, and he can always become a murder weapon.

There is no good or bad person who has the ability.

The Confucian sages were silent, since ancient times, Confucianism has lived in the temple high, and there have indeed been so many famous sages.

But most people study in order to change their fate, go to their careers, achieve their own fame and fortune, and the teachings of the first generation of Confucian sages have begun to drift away.

The Confucian sage said, "I, a Confucian, have I ever treated the world badly. ”

Yuan Zheng thought about it carefully, Confucianism really did not treat the world badly.

However, he could have endured the darkness until he saw the light......

In the world, I don't know how many people, at the junction of light and darkness, can't live and die, can't be happy, even if they pretend to be chic, and they are also in debt behind them.

Yuan Zhengdao: "It's really not, in other words, if the rest of the people stand at the same height as your Confucianism, perhaps, they will not treat the world badly, and even, they may be better than Confucianism, but unfortunately, they have never had the opportunity to stand at the top, they can only look at the clown in the dark night, above the palace, showing their teeth and claws." ”

The Confucian sage said: "Since Your Excellency recognizes Confucianism, but suppresses Confucianism, I don't know what your intentions are. ”

The saint is angry, the corpse is million, the Confucian saint is angry, I don't know how many scholars in the world will throw their pen from Rong, forming a torrent of the times that Yuan Zheng cannot fight, so that his road to the emperor is full of branches.

It's a force to be reckoned with.

The Confucian sage also really made Yuan Zheng jealous of the strength.

Yuan Zheng smiled and said: "It's like a tree in the mountains, if you don't cut down the old trees that cover the sky and the sun, how can those small saplings below grow, although I don't like Confucianism, but I also admit that Confucianism has contributed to the world." ”

"Therefore, there is no suppression, but I am here, and I will not open too many dragon gates to Confucianism. ”

"Sir has seen this. ”

The Confucian sage said, "How will Your Excellency rule the world after you become the emperor of the people?" ”

Yuan Zhengdao: "All the sons of a hundred schools, choose the best, and what comes out must be some good seedlings, as for the sectarian dispute, it is a problem that has existed for thousands of years, and I can't interfere, just like the current era, the dispute between the three religions." ”

In the past, Yuan Zheng liked Taoism very much, but he liked it, and then he thought about it, Yuan Zheng, as the head of the people, must not be inclined to any sect.

Otherwise, it will bring endless calamity.

The man who respected Confucianism alone also brought endless trouble to future generations.

It's useless, it's a scholar, and it's not just talking.

Because scholars really only have their own ideals in life, most of them do not have the mind to accept all rivers and do nothing.

Shede, from Taoism.

Rules come from Confucianism.

Becoming a Buddha comes from a Buddhist family.

If you think about it carefully, Taoism is more pleasing to the eye.

It's a pity, the Taoist indisputability is also a helpless person who makes Yuan Zheng helpless, and there are not many people in this world, most of them are wastes who follow the crowd.

The dispute between the three religions, it seems, has to continue.

However, in the future, it is destined not to be the world of the dispute between the three religions, and it will once again enter the prosperous era of a hundred schools of thought.

Hundreds of schools of thought contend, and the great talents that come out are all real great talents, because there is a comparison, if anyone is not good, outsiders can immediately see it.

When the Confucian sage heard Yuan Zheng's words, he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Hundreds of schools of thought contend, once such a grand occasion appears, the status of Confucianism, not to say that it has plummeted, it is almost over.

As a Confucian sage, he certainly didn't care about these things.

However, countless scholars in the world will be a little worried about their careers from now on.

In fact, it is not so worrying, although Yuan Zheng will not open too many dragon gates to scholars, but those who can be officials must be able to read and hyphenation.

Besides, writing was not created by Confucianism, but by the ancient sages.

The Confucian sage nodded and said, "This glass of water can quench my thirst." ”

At this time, peppercorns and fennel, with the best wine and meat, came here.

Placed on the table in order, the wine and meat are fragrant.

The Confucian sage praised: "Wouldn't it be useless to waste such good wine and meat on an old man of mine." ”

Yuan Zhengdao: "No, it's just a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, if in the future, the saint is willing to go out of the mountain again, I am here, I will definitely welcome it." ”

The Confucian sage will not go out of the mountain again, because he has been out of the mountain before, and the sun, in one day, can only rise in the east.

But this time, the Confucian sage introduced the young man to Yuan Zheng and said, "His name is Gong Heng, which is the name that Your Excellency once used, and he will inherit my mantle and supervise the world's scholars." ”

Yuan Zheng's heart sank, and from this point of view, he had been recognized by the Confucian sages.

Yuan Zheng toasted a glass of wine and said: "This cup, respect for the past, respect for the present, respect for the past, respect for the future." ”

The Confucian sage drank it all, put the wine glass on the table, and before leaving, touched the young man's head and said: "From now on, you are the rule of the world's scholars." ”

The boy stood up and said goodbye.

Witness the Confucian sages disappear between heaven and earth.

Yuan Zheng saw it really, a Confucian sage, all the luck fell on this young man.

Gong Heng, really a good name.

"Late Gong Heng, I have seen the Lord. "The young man saluted, with a board and a glance, which was very regular.

Yuan Zheng was in a good mood, and laughed and said, "It's really a blessing for me." ”

Gong Heng is a teenager, and the world needs teenagers.

"No courtesy, from now on, you will have a mansion of your own in the depths of the Qinling Mountains, every day, there are thousands of twists and turns, arrive in front of your copywriting, can you do it. ”

Gong Heng said: "It is incumbent upon Gong Heng to solve problems in the world. ”

Shangcheng in the clouds, at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, Yuan Zheng thought about it, and after pacifying the Great Zhou, Yuan Zheng will build a palace belonging to the emperor in the depths of the Qinling Mountains.

In the middle of this world, look down on the eight wilderness and gaze at the sky.

At this time, in the sky of the city above the clouds, the glow of the ten thousand roads, a golden avenue paved, on it, a golden-dressed monk, holding a Zen staff, standing on his shoulders with a golden-winged Dapeng bird, from the golden avenue, slowly walking.

Yuan Zheng took a deep breath, this time, the Buddha family came.

Seeing this, Gong Heng folded his hands, slowly retreated, and walked towards the cloud city.

Su Yi gave an order, the city gate was opened, and countless soldiers looked at the young man with a face like a crown of jade and harmless to humans and animals with awe.

Lin Guang suddenly smiled and said, "It would be great if those two little guys in my family could get the guidance of that young man." ”

Su Yi smiled softly: "That young man is comparable to a strong dragon vein. ”

The boy entered the city, and in this life, he was not out of the city.

The wine and meat were still on the table, Yuan Zheng got up, stared at the monk, and said, "I'm here today, it's really very lively." ”

The monk came, and in an instant, he came to Yuan Zheng's side.

"Amitabha. ”

Yuan Zhengdao: "It is said that people rely on clothes, and Buddhas rely on gold, and the first time I saw such an ancient Buddha, I also opened my eyes." ”

"There is a monk in the Great Zhou, named Jin Yuan, he is the national teacher of the Great Zhou, but the national teacher of the Great Zhou is dead. ”

"Could it be that the monks came here to ask for an explanation for the Great Zhou National Master. ”

For the monks to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, those timid and afraid kings like it very much, but Yuan Zheng doesn't like to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha at all.

Because in this world, many times, even if you put down the butcher's knife and spend your whole life, you can't become a Buddha.

Even if you don't enter the Buddhist family, you can see the nature of your mind.

The monk said, "The donor said that he laughed, I came here just to bring this glow into here. ”

Yuan Zhengdao: "Is it used to illuminate the world, or is it used to purify the world?"

The monk said: "That friend just now gave a young man to the donor, and I am here today and I also have a gift for the donor." ”

Yuan Zheng looked at the golden-winged Dapeng bird and said, "That's it." ”

The monk said: "The name of this bird is Garuda, and it can determine the good and evil of Buddhism for the donor in the future." ”

......
