The eunuch and the palace maid had already withdrawn from the room, so there were only four Mo Chen in the imperial study at this time.

Kong Zhongxiao's expression was calm, with a slightly confident smile. This self-confidence does not come from the prestige of the Confucian family, but from the two top Confucian scholars next to him, as well as their judgment of the situation, and their speculation about Mo Chen's purpose.

As the words of the ancestor of the Kong family fell, the room was suddenly silent.

Mo Chen held a scroll of Spring and Autumn in his hand, glanced at a few people lightly, and said casually: "You guys, what do you want?" ”

Several people looked stunned for a moment, but quickly regained their composure. They glanced at each other, Dong Zhongshu frowned slightly, and said, "An answer, an answer that may only His Majesty knows." ”

The other two did not speak, looking at Mo Chen quietly. They need an answer, one that may be very difficult to accept, even ridiculous to others.

These days, the Confucian family has been looking for the root cause of the division of the Mo family, and at the same time, they are also looking for the hidden truth behind the end times. In order to find answers, they not only found Dong Zhongshu, the oldest antique in Confucianism, but even found a generation of Qi Confucian Wang Chong, who was well-read but not tolerated by Confucianism.

Speaking of Wang Chong, his reputation in Confucianism can be described as mixed.

He advocated that 'heaven and earth are natural and non-action', believing that heaven and earth are natural material entities without will, and that the movement and change of all things in the universe and the generation of things are the result of natural non-action. At the same time, he put forward the idea that "heaven cannot give birth to man", believing that heaven is nature, and man is also a product of nature, "man and things are also; Things, things are also", severing the connection between heaven and man, which can be said to fundamentally deny Dong Zhongshu's theory of heaven and man induction.

If this is the case, he will at best be intolerable to the Ram School, and will be disliked by those in power. However, as a Confucian scholar, Wang Chong wrote the shocking book "On Balance", which criticized the ideas and arguments of Confucius, Mencius and other sages. This alone made him a plague god that Confucians could not avoid.

If it weren't for the seriousness of the situation, the Kong family would definitely not have looked for Wang Chong for help.

And with the help of Dong Zhongshu, the oldest Confucian antique, and Wang Chong, an unborn genius, the Confucian family finally found some clues from the fog of history and discovered the secrets that the Great Jin Dynasty had been hiding.

Penglai!

It should only exist with the legendary Penglai, maybe it really exists!

Although the matter of Penglai is very secret, most of the people who know it have either been dealt with by Mo Chen, or have already died. But as long as everything in the world exists, it will inevitably leave clues, not to mention such a huge project as Penglai. Even if Mo Chen erased most of the traces of Penglai's existence, there were still some subtle things that people couldn't help but notice.

Kong Zhongxiao always thinks of the excitement of finding Penglai from some clues, and the joy and excitement of faintly peeking at Mo Chen's purpose.

As the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can win all battles, Kong Zhongxiao, who thinks that he has seen through Mo Chen's purpose, has full confidence to get what he wants from Mo Chen.

Mo Chen was silent for a moment and said, "The answer is already in your hearts. ”

"Not enough, these answers are far from enough. We want to know His Majesty's purpose and what exactly Penglai is! Dong Zhongshu's expression was indifferent, and he looked at Mo Chen without fear. Although his hair was gray and his face was full of wrinkles, his voice was still sonorous and powerful.

For Dong Zhongshu and the others, even if they can be sure that the end times really exist, it is still not enough to reassure them. Because they really get too little information and too many doubts that need answers.

For example, what exactly is Penglai and what does it mean to this last days. Since Mo Chen had already known about the existence of the end times, he knew what the end times would be like, and how he planned to deal with this end times.

"Penglai, an ark of life, can escape from this world. Among them, it is composed of three large islands, Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou, which can make 300,000 people self-sufficient on them. Mo Chen's voice was flat, but in the ears of several other people, it was no less than the vibration of thunder.

Three islands that can break away from this world, immortal islands that can make 300,000 people self-sufficient!

Several people were dumbfounded, with shocked looks on their faces. They finally understood Mo Chen's purpose, and among them, the ancestor of the Kong family even understood the so-called kindness at the beginning.

Ferry ticket, the ticket to be able to leave this world!

Thinking of this, Kong Zhongxiao couldn't help but become short of breath, and his pupils constricted and flashed with a strange color. He didn't wait for Dong Zhongshu to speak, and said hurriedly: "Conditions, Your Majesty's conditions." ”

Although the Kong family had a very unpleasant quarrel with Zhu Yuyan at the beginning, Kong Zhongxiao was confident enough to get a ticket from Mo Chen. Because Mo Chen needed their Kong family, he firmly believed this, otherwise Zhu Yuyan would not have come to the Kong family with the so-called goodwill.

And the only thing that worried him was how many tickets the Kong family could get from Mo Chen.

A hundred, or fifty?

No, a hundred is not enough for the Kong family.

Kong Zhongxiao stared at Mo Chen closely, thinking in his heart how to negotiate and obtain the greatest benefits.

Dong Zhongshu frowned, and glanced at Kong Zhongxiao, who had hurriedly spoken, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his interjection, but then he fell silent again. They don't know much about Penglai, and they don't have specific information about the so-called end times, and in this case, they are not qualified to negotiate with Mo Chen at all.

"The Confucian family's collection, all the collections. As well as the relics of the sages collected by the Confucian family, they bring together the antiquities of the ancient sages and their style. Mo Chen pondered for a few seconds, and said slowly under Kong Zhongxiao's eager gaze.

When Kong Zhongxiao heard this, he immediately smiled, and his heart was completely relieved.

already knew Mo Chen's hole cards and requirements, but he was not in a hurry. Negotiation is naturally called negotiation only if there are contacts in the future, otherwise it will not become a big wrongdoer. Mo Chen wanted all the books of the Kong family, as well as antiquities related to the ancient sages, so naturally there was no problem.

price, as long as he can pay enough price.

Two hundred places to leave this world doesn't seem like much, right?

Kong Zhongxiao thought in his heart, slowly stretched out two fingers, and said, "Your Majesty's request, naturally there is no problem. But my Kong family needs ....."

"The old man has a collection of 100,000 books, which can be given to His Majesty." Wang Chong suddenly spoke, interrupting Kong Zhongxiao's words, making him stiff and stretched out two fingers and stunned there.

What do you mean by this, even if you want a ticket, we have to talk about a first-come, first-served basis. I'm talking about business here, what do you mean by suddenly interfering!

The ancestor of the Kong family hated it in his heart, and he couldn't wait to slap himself twice. I knew that this bastard's deviance was not a good thing, and I had to ask this bastard to help me do something.

Damn, this bastard intervened, and the Kong family didn't know how much it would cost to get enough tickets.

The number of places of 300,000 seems to be a lot, but the places that can fall on the head of the Kong family, I'm afraid there are not many, right? Kong Zhongxiao thought about it, and gradually felt a little more uneasy in his heart.

Although after years of war, the Great Jin still has a population of about 300 million. And only 300,000 out of 300 million people can get a ticket to escape this world, and the 1 in 1,000 chance is enough to make most people desperate. Not to mention, now there are more than 300,000 people with royal blood, right?

Dong Zhongshu's eyes shrank slightly, revealing a contemplative look.

When Mo Chen heard this, he couldn't help but look at Wang Chong, with a faint scrutiny in his eyes.

Wang Chong looked like he was about fifty times, his expression was indifferent, and his posture was detached. He was dressed in a shabby gray linen coat and wore a pair of simple straw sandals on his feet. His long gray hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and he looked like an ordinary old man on the side of the road.

"What do you want?" Mo Chen pondered for a few seconds and said.

"The old man is already old, and he is even more alone, and he has nothing to need. Rather than accompanying my bad old man into the coffin, these things should be given to His Majesty, and they can be regarded as making some contributions to our human race. Wang Chong's expression always seemed very indifferent, as if everything in the world could no longer shake his state of mind.

!

After hearing this, the ancestor of the Kong family no longer had any grace to speak of. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, he couldn't wait to break Wang Chong's body into pieces.

Your uncle, did you have an enmity with my Kong family in your last life, and you just wrote a book to arrange the ancestors of my Kong family, and now you still want to break off our Kong family.

Where did you put my Confucian family in your fucking free gift?

Kong Zhongxiao looked embarrassed, and the confidence on his face completely retreated, but he was a little more panicked. Especially those two outstretched fingers, he almost wanted to grab the ground with his head.

He didn't know what other conditions he could offer, and what kind of conditions he could use to impress Mo Chen.

Mo Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and his heart was slightly surprised. He thought that Wang Chong wanted to exchange for a place to leave, but he didn't expect him to give it away for free, and couldn't help asking, "You don't want to leave this world?" ”

"Will Your Majesty leave?" Wang Chong's eyes were deep, and he asked rhetorically.

Mo Chen was silent, his fingers tapped lightly twice on the tabletop, making a dull sound like knocking on a wooden fish, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

At this moment, Dong Zhongshu suddenly spoke: "There are tens of thousands of books in the old family, as well as the classics of the hundreds of ancient princes, as well as three hundred and twenty volumes of bamboo slips written by several ancient sages, and I am willing to give them all to Your Majesty." The old decay is not as chic as Zhong Ren, and he wants ten places to leave this world, and he hopes that His Majesty can fulfill it. ”

"Yes." Mo Chen came back from his contemplation, glanced at Dong Zhongshu, who was a little nervous, and nodded slowly. Then he looked at the ancestor of the Kong family, who was already stupid with a confused face, and a faint playfulness flashed in his eyes. If the Kong family had cooperated honestly at the beginning, Mo Chen would naturally not mind giving them a few more places, but now.

The smile on his face became gentler and gentler, and his voice made people say like a spring breeze: "I don't know how many places the Kong family needs." ”

Kong Zhongxiao's expression stiffened, and he glanced at his two outstretched fingers, and there was always an urge to dig into his eyes.

If you're blind, it's not good to find someone to help, you have to find these two white-eyed wolves, now it's okay, right?
