Chapter 47: The Doctrine of the Benevolent
The soldiers were finally gone. No one expected that the originally tense scene would once again have a magical transformation at this moment. Xiao Chen used his kindness and benevolence to touch this group of ordinary people living at the bottom of society. And these kind people also used their sincerity to influence those fierce and vicious soldiers.
The world is big, and the benevolent are respected. Even in a strange world, this is an unbreakable truth.
The matter was finally resolved satisfactorily, and Liu Lan, whose heart was hanging in her throat, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, it is also time to return to Jiayuan County. After hurriedly saying goodbye to these people, Xiao Chen and the three of them finally went on the road calmly.
"This little brother is really a rare benevolent and righteous person in the world!" the gray-haired old man shouted out the common voice of these people. Of course, Xiao Chen couldn't hear these words.
And where Xiao Chen was galloping, more than a dozen soldiers were galloping on horseback. "Big brother, what are we going to do next?" a soldier asked the question that was most of everyone's mind. They were ordered by the lord to drive these defected people back. But now, he was influenced by his own conscience and automatically chose to give up this order.
However, you must know that if you violate the order of the official, you will be in danger of losing your head. If you go back like this
"Do you think Lao Tzu is willing to sell his conscience and conscience for a few stinky copper plates, and be the minions of Chutian's dog official? I'm fed up with these days!" the bearded man yelled.
"You have also seen that white and pure stunned boy, and his popularity is actually better than ours. Don't you feel ashamed? Lao Tzu has decided that from now on, he will be an upright person, and he will no longer be angry with Chutian's dog official, and he will no longer act for the tiger. ”
"But if we don't follow Chu Tian's dog official, then how can we survive!" said a weak voice. You must know that although they are the officials and soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom. However, the imperial court has not paid a single grain for three years. And these people don't know anything but to fight with guns. If there is no food, then you can only live by oppressing the people.
But the eldest brother actually said that he would be an upright person in the future and no longer oppress the people. So how do we live?
"I have thought about it, go up the mountain for Kou, and support myself! Brothers, if anyone is willing to follow me, I Yu Zhong is very welcome, but if anyone feels that they can't pull this face, I will not force it!" There are millions of officers and soldiers on the register alone. But the problem is that the imperial court has not paid a single grain for three years. The vast majority of the million-strong army of the Great Yan Kingdom, in order to make a living, has become the private army of the local magnates.
After all, for ordinary soldiers, the empty righteousness is far less moving than the immediate benefits. To put it more vulgarly, whether they admit it verbally or not, but in their hearts, they still respect the view that the one who has milk is the mother.
There are many soldiers in the Great Yan Kingdom, but the power is limited, and it is impossible for them to completely digest this million army. Moreover, there are some arrogant people who are really unwilling to endure being scolded or even betraying their conscience for the sake of that little bit of food. In order to make a living, they chose another path, that is, to go up the mountain to do business.
In the Great Yan Kingdom, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant, excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes were prevalent, and the people lived extremely miserable. This is also an important reason for the increasing number of thieves in the Great Yan Kingdom. The fact that a large number of officers and soldiers were forced to make a living and became thieves made the situation even greater.
Of course, the Optimus Pillar of the Great Yan Kingdom, the National Teacher Emperor Fu Yan, had already realized that if such a situation was allowed to develop, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, he has ordered Ding Heng, who is most important to him, to form elite soldiers to solve this problem.
But can this method really solve the troubles of the Great Yan Kingdom? I'm afraid no one knows.
"Follow the eldest brother, go up the mountain for the Kou, follow the eldest brother, go up the mountain for the Kou! I will no longer be angry with the dog official of Chutian!" The soldiers cheered. Obviously, the bearded man has a very high reputation in the minds of these people. After this proposal was spoken, not a single person objected.
"Rest assured, brethren, that we will not be long on the mountain. Although I, Yu Zhong, am a rough person, I also know that today's Dayan is in trouble at home and abroad, and if it goes on like this, the world will be in chaos and rise up. At that time, we will choose a powerful prince to take refuge in him, and maybe if we are lucky, we can also get an official and a half-job!" It seems that Yu Zhong's idea did not come out of thin air, but was carefully considered. And before, he didn't say it because he had some scruples, but today's encounter with Xiao Chen was like a spark, which finally made him completely say what he thought in his heart.
"The eldest brother is right, if the princes we take refuge in can finally take over the world, we will make a lot of money. We can't count on the marquis and the prime minister, but it shouldn't be a problem to shine in the court and seal the wife and son!"
"If you really want that day, don't do the you did today. Yu Zhong snorted coldly. He was referring to the fact that the dog was trying to trample the baby.
"Big brother teaches you, big brother teaches you!" the dog stuck out his tongue. In the past, I lived a precarious life, and I was worried about tomorrow after today, so the whole person was muddy, but now it is different, for my own lofty goals, I can no longer break the jar.
How good it would be if the princes who could fight for the world in the future were benevolent people like the little brother just now!
How is it possible? How is it possible? Anyone who can compete for the world must be ruthless and ruthless. That young man, at best, was a gentleman, a benevolent man. And such a person is destined to become a strong contender for the world.
Xichang City, the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom. This is the most prosperous, populous and economically developed place in the city of Dayan, and it is also the place that countless people of Dayan dream dream of. Here, as long as you have the ability, you can get everything you want.
And in the beautiful garden of the Great Yan King's Palace, which is full of exotic flowers and plants. The handsome young man in a gorgeous brocade robe with clear eyebrows is still so graceful and luxurious, and he is still so extraordinary. But what is a little regrettable is that the young man's body is a little thinner, and there is a little less heroic air between his eyebrows.
His name is Murong Yan. It is the current saint of the Great Yan Kingdom. Since the wise and martial founding emperor Murong Fu established the Great Yan Kingdom, it has been passed into the hands of Murong Yan and is already the third generation. It's a pity that the current emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom is too much worse than his grandfather.
The double decade is a great time to be vigorous and create a career, but the current emperor is a coward, until now, he is still focused on pleasure, so that the national teacher Huang Fuyan, who is close to the age of old, has to take on all the major affairs of the Great Yan Kingdom alone.
But is this really the case?
"Your Majesty, why are you alone in a daze again!" A slight sigh came from behind him.
"Now, the fortunes of my Great Yan Kingdom are in jeopardy. As the king of a country, can I not worry?Teacher, I make you worried!" After a long sigh, Murong Yan finally turned his head.
Standing behind Murong Yan was a middle-aged man dressed in white with a white beard. Although the appearance is not too outstanding, those incomparably deep eyes make people look at them and never forget them.
The man's name is Xi Ren, and since he can remember beating Murong Yan, he has been teaching him as his husband. "Your Majesty, there are enemies outside my Dayan, and there are people with ill intentions who are ready to move. Corrupt officials are rampant, and exorbitant taxes are rampant. Now that I am in the Great Yan Kingdom, it can be said that external and internal troubles are at the same time, and the situation is extremely unoptimistic!"
"Your Majesty, as the king of a country, it is time for you to take care of yourself and focus on state affairs. You know, the world is yours after all! If you don't care, who else cares?" another sigh was uttered.
"Teacher, are you, like those mediocre people, see me as an incompetent person who only knows how to play and have fun?"
"Of course not. Xi Ren shook his head resolutely, "Your Majesty was raised by me, and I know exactly who Your Majesty is." To put it mildly, I, Xi Ren, have lived so much, and almost all kinds of people have seen it. But it was the first time I had seen such a gifted and gifted person as His Majesty. ”
"The teacher praised it falsely, Murong Yan was ashamed!" Murong Yan's face was full of smiles.
"I know more about Your Majesty's great talents, and I have the pride and confidence to show my strengths and feet. But why does Your Majesty always show a cowardly and weak image in front of outsiders, and only know how to play?" Xi Ren's words could not hide the regret, "The great state affairs are all borne by the national teacher alone. Your Majesty, how can you bear it?"
"Don't be an old bastard in front of me. I, Murong Yan, have long since reached adulthood, and it stands to reason that he should have handed over the power to me a long time ago. But look, there is a big matter in the imperial court, what one thing can I handle alone?" Murong Yan was furious, "I think he clearly doesn't want to hand over power to me, and he obviously has other intentions." ”
"Your Majesty is too careful, the loyalty of the National Teacher to the Great Yan Kingdom, and the loyalty to Your Majesty, can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the heaven and earth can be proven. Your Majesty should also examine yourself, you always pretend to be like that, how dare the National Teacher return the power of state affairs to you?"
"If I hadn't pretended to be like this, eighty percent would have been killed by the old fox of Huangfu a long time ago!" Murong Yan sneered, "I guess that old fox has long been peeking into my Murong clan's world, and he would have thought about it a long time ago." ”
"Your Majesty, you have a lot of heart! When your grandfather was here, he made a heavy oath that he would always be loyal to the Murong clan for the rest of his life and never betray him. ”
"Teacher, you are too kind. The disciple knows that you are a benevolent person, but the benevolent person is destined to suffer losses in this world. When a person's rights are in the opposition, can you still guarantee that his ambition will not continue to swell?
"The reason why I laughed at outsiders and pretended to be crazy and stupid was to lower the vigilance of the old fox of the emperor and make myself safe for the time being. However, I, Murong Yan, won't go on like this forever. Murong Yan sneered.
"Hey" For this, Xi Ren had nothing to say, only sighed.
"By the way, teacher, why do I always feel as if someone is staring at me during this time?" After a long period of embarrassment, Murong Yan suddenly asked.
"This, wouldn't it?" Xi Ren's body shook, and his eyes quickly scanned around. The originally peaceful gaze suddenly became sharp. But there was still peace all around.
"Your Majesty, you have too much heart!" the sharp gaze softened again.
"Maybe!" Murong Yan nodded.
"Idiot!" But at that moment, a slightly mocking voice floated out of thin air. Of course, it was impossible for Xi Ren and Murong Yan to hear it.
