Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty and the hundred officials sighed, it turned out that there was still such a saying, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty asked again: "The Futu Sect was introduced to the Han realm from the time of His Majesty Emperor Ming, but the Futu monks often said that people should enter the eighteenth layer of hell after death. "The Book of Rites and Sacrifices" says: "All living beings will die, and the dead will return to the earth, which is called a ghost." "The Mean" said: "The ghosts and gods are virtuous! See it and see it, listen to it and hear it. However, Wang Zhongren's "On Balance" also said that there are no ghosts in the world...... He Taizhong, the ghost between heaven and earth...... Does it exist? ”

He Bai was stunned, how could he talk about ghosts again? Yes, Emperor Han Ling will pass away in April of the lunar calendar, maybe he has a faint sense, so he is worried about what will happen after death.

He Bai said: "Ghosts are things that exist in the world after the death of the human body. The mediocre people, ordinary people, die like lights out, and have no spirit in the world, so there are no ghosts. A person who is powerful, virtuous, benevolent, and righteous, has a strong spirit and is loved by the world. Although he died, his spirit was immortal, so he became a ghost. The hell mentioned by Futu is the place where the spirit is immortal, and there are many sages, and those who are worthy of the world in their hearts do not need to worry too much. It is unknown whether those who are guilty of their hearts will become ghosts, so why should they care about it. ”

Emperor Han Ling's heart was gloomy, and he asked again, "Are there any immortals in the world?" ”

"The gods are free in the world, and they are ethereal. It's called a fairy, but it's no different from a ghost, and you can't live with ordinary people. Even though he is immortal, he is also lonely. Moreover, the immortal path is hard to find, although tens of thousands of people cannot cultivate one of them. Refining medicine and swallowing pills, seeking a dead end, and asking for immortals and worshipping gods is even more vain. If you follow the example of Yan Huang and the Five Emperors, you can be remembered by the world from generation to generation, and you can become the ghost emperor of the world even if you die. ”

Emperor Han Ling thought for a long time before he bowed and said: "What Mrs. He said is really golden and good, but I can't hear it earlier." The decree gave He Taizhong 100 catties of gold and 500 horses of silk. Let's go to court. ”

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty gave too many things, and the eunuchs in the palace would deliver them to He's mansion, so He Bai and the hundred officials went down to the court at the same time. As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw He Jin, who was the first, waiting in the car outside the palace. After seeing He Bai leave the palace, he immediately beckoned.

After He Bai got into the car as a salute, He Jin immediately called "go home". There was nothing to say all the way, and as soon as he came to the General's Mansion, He Jin summoned He Bai to a secret room and asked, "Why is the emperor so strange today?" ”

He Bai sighed: "Today's solar eclipse is a sign that the Lord of Man will collapse. The emperor was not at all surprised. ”

He Jin was shocked and shouted, "Could it be just recently?" After that, he nervously paced back and forth in the room, and asked for a long time: "The emperor is about to collapse, what should I do?" The emperor will ...... me."

"Yes." He Bai said affirmatively: "But the general is blessed with a high fortune, everything is going well, and there is no need to take special precautions." It's fine as usual. ”

He Jin sighed, and then deeply thanked He Bai and said: "With Tianming on the side, I can help me in the future, and my heart is very peaceful." After saying that, he clapped his hands and laughed, as if after the death of Emperor Ling of Han, the supreme power of the Han Empire would be gathered in his own hands.

However, He Bai, who had been meditating for a month, had already decided that everything would be business as usual. With He Jin's ability, character and vision, it is impossible to do much, because the Eastern Han Dynasty regime is almost rotten, and it will not be truly reborn without a thorough political revolution from the bottom up.

In the original history, whether it was Yuan Shao, Cao Cao or Liu Bei, it was possible to dominate the world. But it is precisely because there are too many heroes in it that the world has never been able to completely unify.

Moreover, with the historical limitations of these people, even if they unify the whole country, they will not really change the society and govern the country well. At most, like the Sima clan, he still rules the world with the clans. has never been able to completely extinguish the autocratic rule of the clans, so that Wang Xie Qianyan will completely fly into the homes of ordinary people. How long can such a depraved country hold out? Will he die in the second or the third like the Western Jin Dynasty? How many years will there be chaos after that?

I may be able to go to one person to assist him and help him change society. However, since they are not good at political struggle, they may not be able to gain the full trust of those in power, and they are deeply afraid that they will die before the matter is completed, and they will lose early in the political struggle, and the political reform will also fail. After all, it is easier to dodge the open arrow that fights the world by itself than the political arrow.

But what's going to happen in the next few months? His own reputation is not bad, just waiting for a complete fermentation. The rest of the time is still to practice martial arts, practice the legendary Zhao Yun's same gun technique "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Marksmanship", and see how amazing it is. Fortunately, in the troubled times in the future, there is an ability to protect oneself.

In the martial arts arena of He Mansion, Han Rong put on a posture of making a gun, and said: "'Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear', as the name suggests, is a spear technique created by referring to the forms and movements of various birds in the sky. There are a total of 108 types of marksmanship, of which 72 are spirit bird guarding guns; Type 36 is the Raptor attack gun type. When you are proficient, you can simplify the complex, and all the birds will be one, forming the final lore gun move 'Fire Phoenix Liaoyuan Style'. ”

"The 'Hundred Birds and the Phoenix Marksmanship' is different from the whip method practiced by the lord, and the strength used is not its own strength, but through the special breathing method, with the mind to feel all kinds of changes in the outside world. Just like all kinds of birds, they can stab the required guns according to the change of wind direction. This is to combine the mind with the heart, the mind with the body, and then the body with the gun, so that the enemy can be unable to defend and stab the enemy under the horse. ”

Han Rong's marksmanship explanation gave He Bai a feeling of being in the world of martial arts. When Brother Dian Wei was teaching martial arts, he first paid attention to body forging, strength, body coordination and tenacity, and finally a straightforward strong attack and killing method. It is not much different from the training method of ordinary military generals. However, what Han Rong taught was the method of breathing and feeling the changes in the outside world and the direction of the wind, and the moves were the same as those of the Xingyi Fist of later generations.

If breathing is to practice internal strength, to feel the changes in the outside world and the direction of the wind is to use the internal strength to perceive the various air currents in the outside world, just like a bird to use the changes of various air currents to spread its wings and fly, rather than using brute force to fight hard with others. Isn't that somewhat similar to borrowing strength?

Looking at the gun move again, a style of "Feiyan Lingbo", looking at the front assassination of the enemy, but it was a false slap and turned around to defend himself. A type of "frightening birds" is a rapid virtual stab movement of the head of the gun, looking at the starry assassination action, forcing the enemy to defend himself, in fact, it is mostly a false move, and it is completely powerless.

A type of "flying eagle pounces on the rabbit", which seems to be violent, but it does not fire the gun, and when the enemy mistakenly thinks it is intimidation and prepares to counterattack, the spear suddenly stabs out from above and down, killing him with one blow. A type of "osprey predation", the handle of the spear is pressed down, placed under the legs, and the head of the spear is pointed upwards, so that the enemy mistakenly thinks that it is also a defensive style, but it is like an osprey entering the water, like an arrow off the string, assassinating the enemy from the bottom up.

This "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Marksmanship" looks fast and fierce, and most of them are defensive moves; If it looks like it is triggered but not triggered, or it is slow and weak, most of it is an attack. It's a bit of a discrepancy between what is on the surface and what is on the outside. Looking at Han Rong teaching all kinds of flying bird gun moves one by one, He Bai felt very awkward, such a board and a glance can also be called a flying bird?

He Bai didn't know much about the "Hundred Birds and Phoenixes" at this time, so he could only seriously compare and draw according to what Han Rong taught. Every day, I learned six defensive moves and three offensive moves, a total of 12 days of learning, and then in the next 18 days, it is to strengthen the proficiency of practicing marksmanship, and self-perception of the essence of marksmanship.

During the period when He Bai practiced marksmanship, Emperor Ling of Han suddenly died for no reason in the Yongle Palace of the Jiade Hall of the Empress Dowager Dong on the morning of the third morning after the morning dynasty. At that time, only Jian Shuo was present with Emperor Ling. Jian Shuo, who received the edict of Emperor Ling, concealed the news of Emperor Ling's death, and falsely ordered He to enter the palace to discuss matters. He also ordered his subordinate Sima Panyin to lead troops to ambush on both sides of the palace gate, preparing to ambush He Jin.

However, unexpectedly, Sima Panyin had an old friendship with He Jin, thinking that ambushing the general He Jin at the gate of the palace was not in line with the legal principles of the court at all, and it was not an order given by the emperor. So he refused to obey his fate, and hinted that He Jin should go quickly. He Jin had already been reminded by He Bai that he didn't know what was going on in the palace, so he quickly returned to the General's Mansion and summoned all the close ministers to discuss.

After He Bai and the others went, Pan Yin came again and said, "The emperor has died." Now Jian Shuo is not mourning, and he has announced that Uncle He Guo has entered the palace, and he wants to end the troubles, and he has established the Emperor as the emperor. ”

As soon as the words fell, another internal envoy came, and Xuan He quickly entered the palace to discuss matters. Cao Cao said: "Today's plan, first it is advisable to be on the throne, and then to be a thief." ”

He Jin entered the case and shouted: "Who dares to ask for a thief with my Zhengjun? ”

Yuan Shao stepped forward and shouted: "I am willing to borrow 5,000 elite soldiers, cut the pass in, set up a new monarch, punish the eunuchs, sweep the court, and calm the world!" ”

He Bai hurriedly said: "What Meng De said is very true. The emperor died, and the eunuchs had nothing to rely on, and they couldn't pretend to be the emperor's order, so they couldn't do anything. The secret in the palace is not mourned, and the fault lies with the eunuchs. Why should the general be so impatient, not afraid of disturbing the emperor's undead? However, although the general has military power in hand, Jian Shuo also has thousands of Xiyuan troops in hand, and he will storm the palace ban, how will he be different from Dou Wu? It is also a rebellious act. ”

He Jin hesitated: "The unknown plan will be released?" ”

"Respond to all changes with the same, and say that you can't get sick in the house, and see what the eunuchs want? At the same time, troops were sent to block the gates and paths of the palaces, and Sima Pan hid into the palace to stabilize the soldiers and horses under his command and the upper army, and prevented Jian Shuo from leading the soldiers and dogs from jumping over the wall in a hurry. Then call hundreds of officials to the palace to discuss together, and together they will decide the prince's discernment. It is also rumored that Queen He in the palace has her in the palace, and the eunuchs are like birds in a cage, and they can't turn up the big waves at all. ”

He Jin was already afraid of the emperor's might, but now that He Bai said it, he suddenly hesitated even more. In addition, He Bai had expected that the emperor would collapse before, and now it has really come true, so He Jin has to believe in He Bai relatively more. So under the pretext of not going to the palace due to illness, he ordered Sima Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and others from the General's Mansion to lead troops to block the palace gate and not call for internal and external traffic.

When the officials heard this, they were shocked and undecided, and they didn't know what happened. He Jin sent an envoy to tell the emperor about his death, and Jian Shuo kept it secret and did not mourn, and there must be a treacherous conspiracy. He also summoned hundreds of officials to discuss matters in the general's mansion to jointly plan the succession of the eldest son of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

The officials were already very angry with the autocratic power of the ten permanent servants, how should they not, all promised that if the emperor really died, they would support the emperor as the emperor. At this time, even the ministers who were close to the eunuchs were helpless when they saw that the emperor had collapsed and the general trend had gone.
