Volume 2: A Laugh in the Sea Chapter 148: The Unknown Prophet and the Ant (II)
013-12-23
The world praises the means of immortals, and often says that immortals can "pinch their fingers and count, and they will know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years later". But this is just a myth and a legend. In fact, where in the world are there really any immortals? How can anyone know the past and the future? If so, there is. So...... This person is definitely not a native of this shijie, but can only be an outsider like Chen Sheng!
Of course, this kind of thinking can only be generated by outsiders like Chen Sheng after seeing this "Forty-two Chapters Sutra". As for the local natives, such as Ning Daoqi and the empty generation, although they are already extremely remarkable figures in the world, they can't imagine that there are countless similar shijies in addition to the shijie they live in.
Even if the legendary martial arts are cultivated to the extreme, they can shatter the void. And just according to Ning Daoqi's knowledge, there are already three examples of Yan Fei, Sun En, Xiang Yutian and other three successful shattering. But where did they go after they were broken? Again, no one can answer. So......
The predictions that have been confirmed countless times without error have already made future generations worship the author who wrote this "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" and recorded hundreds of emperors of more than a dozen dynasties as a god, let alone have even the slightest doubt about his subsequent predictions. Therefore, all their actions, all their jihua, will only be carried out according to the record of this Forty-two Chapters. Follow the same trend and be meticulous.
It is precisely because of this that Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple, Weishenme want to choose Li Valve as the investment object among many shili in the world, and Weishenme wants to focus on Li Shimin and fully support him as the emperor. In fact, it's like gambling. Knowing that the dice are rolling a 2, who else would bet on a 1 or a 3?
But...... Who wrote this "Forty-two Chapters Sutra"? The answer soon emerged. I saw the empty monk turn the scriptures to a page of zuihou, but saw a line of cinnabar small characters at the foot of the page, which clearly read: "The Lineage of the Emperors of the Chinese Dynasties: Volume I", co-authored by the monks and nuns.
"Li Shimin! The only one who can become the emperor must be Li Shimin. What Chen Sheng, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, all of them are just the precursor of the king, and they are not worth it. Immediately grasping this volume, which was bound to cause the world to shake once it was leaked out, the god sèyīn sank, gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Sheng, you can't get in the way of our big things." Heaven has already predestined everything. In the face of fate, you are nothing more than an insignificant ...... Ant! ”
Heaven and earth are chessboards, and all beings are chess pieces. In the face of fate, among all living beings, who can not be an ant? Chen Sheng, as an outsider, knows everything about the shijie of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", at least he knows six or seven out of ten about major events. But Chen Sheng never had that kind of contempt for this shijie because of this. And because of this, we do not see ourselves as omniscient gods, and everyone else as ants.
After all, history is nothing more than a record of the past. When history is not yet history, it means that everything is uncertain and there are still great variables. For example, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in history died at the hands of Yu Wenhua, but now these two people are ghosts under Chen Sheng's knife. For example, in history, Li Mi should have successfully eliminated Zhai Rang, and then became the undisputed number one person in the Wagang Army. Who would have thought that he would die in front of Zhai Rang?
In fact, among the three thousand thousand shijie, there may not be an omniscient and omnipotent existence that can control everything. Even the great powers of the Infinite God Domain could not do this. Therefore, Chen Sheng will not believe that there is any predetermined destiny to speak of. Even if this kind of thing existed in the first place, it would have become like a ridiculous joke as it entered this shijie by itself.
And the even more ridiculous joke is that a child is sitting on the throne in a dragon robe, obviously only a puppet, but he wants to pretend that all the decisions imposed on him by others are his own ideas. Obviously the murderer of his grandfather, this puppet can only leave the truth behind, force a smile, praise this great enemy, and spare no effort to praise him for how loyal and patriotic he is.
The joke is not funny at all. This is true both as an outsider and as an insider. At this moment, Chen Sheng was wearing the official uniform of the Great Sui Dynasty that had just been made, standing in the imperial city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, on the Jinluan Palace, watching the performance of Yang Tong, the emperor of Taitai, and the only feeling in his heart was sympathy. But despite this, Chen Sheng certainly did not suddenly have a heart attack, and really turned into a loyal minister of the Great Sui Dynasty to be loyal to this fifteen-year-old child. Do your best for him, eradicate rebellion, and recreate the glorious Great Sui - even in words, Chen Sheng did say so.
Go through the motions seriously, engage in formalities vigorously, and tell lies in a down-to-earth manner. The above three sentences can perfectly summarize the process of Chen Sheng entering the palace to meet the emperor and officially accepting the canonization. Therefore, on the Jinluan Palace, the atmosphere is very dull. finally read all the content that he had memorized in advance, and Yang Tong seemed to be patient to the limit. So with a little impatience, he hurriedly announced that everyone should retreat.
Dugu Feng, as the head of the ministers, took the lead in bending down to send off the emperor. The other six people, including Duan Da, Yuan Wendu, Lu Chu, Huangfu Wuyi, Guo Wenyi, and Zhao Changwen, also saluted respectfully at the same time. Regardless of how they look at the Emperor Taizhu in their hearts, as the pillars of the Luoyang Imperial Court, their net worth is prosperous and wealthy, but it is all related to this child. This child is here, and they have high-ranking officials. This little child is gone, and they can become nothing at any time, even their own lives.
In the huge hall, the only one who didn't bow was Chen Sheng. If you want Chen Sheng to bend down, if you have to have superhuman martial arts, you must have the virtue of a countryman. Yang Tong didn't have either, so naturally he was not qualified to let Chen Sheng salute him. And counting the process of Chen Sheng's entry into the Jin Dynasty can also be described in three sentences. That is: "If you don't enter the court, you will go to the palace with your sword, and you won't be praised."
If in the heyday of the Great Sui Dynasty, Chen Sheng's behavior can be described as extremely domineering. But now the Great Sui Dynasty has de facto fallen to the country. The remnants of the small imperial court in the eastern capital are just a matter of prolonging or surviving, and their orders are even difficult to get out of the Luoyang city wall. Therefore, for Chen Sheng, who was actually invited in as a protector, no matter how domineering he was, everyone in the court would only take it for granted.
Yang Tong, the lord of the imperial throne, sat on the dragon chair and looked down at everyone in the hall condescendingly. Because in fact, he is really not a real man, but just a puppet. The most painful thing is that you know that you are a puppet, and you are unwilling to be a puppet in your heart, but you can't do anything about everything.
If he is more than ten years old, maybe the child will get used to it and become numb. But now, after all, he was still only a fifteen-year-old child, and he was still in the prime of his blood. Therefore, when he saw that the people in the hall were all bent down and bowed, only one Chen Sheng was still standing straight, and he couldn't help but immediately reveal an extremely resentful look, gritting his teeth and staring at Chen Sheng.
With a light snort, Chen Sheng did not shy away from meeting the eyes of this puppet little emperor and looked at him head-on. After a hundred battles, his cultivation is so high that he can be called a rare opponent in the world, and he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands. Even though Chen Sheng did not use his true qi and did not have a killing intent, he naturally contained a strong evil intent in his body, how could Yang Tong, the emperor of the emperor, be able to resist it?
Suddenly, the puppet little emperor only felt a stinging pain in his eyes, and immediately burst into tears in the wind. Although he is young, after all, he is a royal child, and his vision is not short-sighted. Being able to feel the stinging pain in your eyes at a glance is exactly what the best masters have. No matter how resentful Yang Tong was in his heart, he knew that he and Ben couldn't afford to provoke Chen Sheng. He stood up in frustration and walked into the apse without saying a word. The old eunuch next to him shouted sharply: "Retreat to the dynasty~" hurriedly followed his little master in.
Emperor Tai Lord Yang Tong was unhappy in his heart, which was clearly seen by all the ministers in the palace. At the same time, these ministers in the palace didn't take it seriously at all. Everyone stood up one after another, gathered around Chen Sheng, and congratulated him loudly. Slap the ass and stutter desperately.
Dugufeng Shi Shiran stepped forward, waved his hand to let everyone disperse, and walked out side by side with Chen Sheng. Smiled: "Congratulations." Generalissimo...... Oh, maybe it's time to call the Archsteward. When the chief manager first entered Luoyang, he was able to get the emperor's lord so much importance and grant the position of the chief manager of the imperial city's soldiers and horses, which shows that Jian is in the emperor's heart and has an unlimited future. ”
Chen Sheng said lightly: "It's not your blessing to General Tuo?" As for the future, Chen never planned to pin his future on anyone. I'm sure the general thinks so too, right? ”
The so-called commander of the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses is the official position granted to Chen Sheng by Yang Tong, the lord of the Imperial Tai. This official position is different from the fictitious title of "King Chen, Shangzhu Guo, and Marshal of the Daxingtai Marching Army of Southeast Province" that he received before, and it belongs to the actual officer. It must be known that Luoyang City is divided into three parts, the innermost core layer, called the palace city, is the emperor's living place. The outer floor is called the Imperial City, which is where the emperor does business, receives ministers, and the official offices of various yamen. The outer layer is where ordinary people live.
The soldiers and horses of Luoyang City are now all in the hands of Wang Shichong. But Miyagi belongs to the territory of Dugu Peak, which is only the commander of the Praetorian Guard and the general of the Right Marquis. The two sides are at a stalemate for the time being. Therefore, the control of the soldiers and horses in the imperial city is quite crucial and important.
