Chapter 4 Yao Shun Rang
The sound of the spring thunder is to stun, the demon is deterred, the thunder of the heavenly court patrols, and if you don't take a snack, you may die under the thunder in vain.
This terrifying thunder frightened King Yu awake, this was instinctively frightened, trembling, never before, he felt so frightened, even if the rebels came to the city twenty years ago.
"Hurry up and invite the national teacher!" Even in the middle of the night, King Yu, who was frightened by the roaring thunder, shouted.
After a while, the national teacher came in a hurry, and at first glance, he saw King Yu shivering like a quilt sifting chaff, with a heartfelt frightened look.
"Your Majesty, what are you?" Looking at King Yu, whose white beard was shaking, the national teacher vaguely guessed.
"Thunder, thunder is terrifying...... "King Yu said in horror, feeling frightened and scared from the bottom of his heart.
"That's because Your Majesty, your demonization is more serious, and the thunder is originally intended to deter demons." The national teacher pointed out directly.
"How can it be so terrifying, my heart is about to jump out." Hold on to the quilt, King Yu said in fear.
"Thunder is so terrifying to the demon clan, otherwise what would the monks do if they practice the Five Thunder Method, this is still just one aspect, there are many ways to avoid being a demon, avoid the king's anger, popularity, and restrain appetite." The national teacher said pitifully, it is not easy to say that you are a demon.
"Is there any way to alleviate it?" Talking to people, knowing where the reason for his fear was, King Yu couldn't wait to ask.
"I haven't really studied this, but maybe it will be better to take two requiem-calming pills." The national teacher took out a bottle of elixir and presented it to King Yu, who couldn't wait to eat it.
Outside there was thunder, lightning flashed, King Yu's face showed a calm look, and the whole person was relieved after taking the pill.
"Thank you for your hard work, national teacher." King Yu looked grateful.
"Your Majesty's words are serious, and there is nothing else to do, so the minister will retire." The national teacher shook his head and bowed down to make a joke.
"Wait, national teacher, let's talk to me, I don't have a few days to live anyway." King Yu pleaded, and the emperor's face showed a few more wisps of pleading.
"Your Majesty is cautious." The national teacher said with a serious expression.
"Be careful what you say, you know your own situation, just like you know how much sin you have, if I want to say that I don't know my longevity, I won't believe it." King Yu showed the calmness he deserved at this time.
"If you say such things rashly, I'm afraid that someone will ......" The national teacher didn't speak again, because there were only two people in the palace.
"National teacher, did you say that the country of Yu fell apart, and the sin of the displacement of the people of Li should be borne on my head." After Wang Yu finished eating the pill, he retracted his hand back into the quilt.
"Probably so." The national teacher was vague.
"If a great heir were appointed now, wouldn't it be less sinful?" King Yu took a deep breath and calmed down the mind that had just been frightened by the thunder.
"Not necessarily...... It is still necessary to select talents. The national teacher saw King Yu's weakness and reminded him.
"Then what to do, these evil animals have not learned well." King Yu thought of his sons and sighed.
"I don't want to think about whose fault they don't study well." The national teacher slandered his belly, but on the surface, he was light and calm, and he didn't care about the heir of King Yu, so he smiled and didn't say anything.
"In the final analysis, it is for them to kill a virtuous person." King Yu sighed, and then said helplessly: "What if you can't kill it?" ”
"The people will choose a new king." The national teacher said in a calm tone.
King Yu was not in the mood to reprimand him for his great rebellion, but followed his words and said, "Can the new king make up for my sinful karma?" ”
"What do you have to do with him, he can make up for your sinful karma, he has done it is his karma, and you have not supported him." The national teacher looked at King Yu, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and said quite funny, now do you know the consequences of evil?
"Also, the people I support are not angry, either they are incapable, or they are corrupted and degraded too quickly." King Yu sighed and said.
Woke up by the thunder today, I felt especially terrible, I was so scared that it was really the thunder drumbeat, hitting in the chest, recalling my inaction, King Yu's eyes were moist.
I always know that I regret it after the consequences of the matter are revealed, and when I indulge in wantonness, it doesn't matter if I know, the consequences are borne by my future self.
"People's hearts are unpredictable, and they have said the truth of goodness thousands of times, but in the end there are still many evil things, human nature is evil, and the virtuous can keep their duties when they are poor, but they may not be able to do it when they are rich." The national teacher also understands King Yu's efforts, but in the face of a king who has fallen himself, it is too difficult to ask the virtuous to be virtuous.
"Now there is one Zhuang Xun left, I don't know how long he can last, is there something wrong with my eyes? Zhuang Qing was born so handsome? King Yu asked with doubts.
"Can marry a wife and come back, but the other party is so fond of him?" Even if you marry a wife, can you still eat soft rice like this?
"Your Majesty's eyes are very good, and the minister's eyes are not bad, maybe the Li family is eager to marry a daughter immediately." The national teacher can only guess like this.
"No matter how worried you are, you won't be able to marry together, and Chengguo has wanted to take the land of Hebei for a long time, how can he return it so easily." King Yu did not believe this reason.
It's just that he didn't have any good reason, so he thought about it and said casually: "It's impossible to be like me, I think he has a good face, let's have a good fate." ”
"This is not certain, after all, King Cheng believes in gods and Buddhas......" said the national teacher Youyou.
"He is going back to Hebei Province, and many ministers have suggested to me that Hebei Province be taken back, what do you think, national teacher?" King Yu asked for the opinion of the national teacher and said.
"This kind of military affairs, it is inconvenient for the minister to say more." The national teacher has no attitude towards this kind of thing, King Yu wants to wait quietly for the demon, he just wants to wait quietly for death, King Yu has polished his mind, and he has also polished his mind.
"I see that they are just daydreaming, they don't do much in a day, they think beautifully, and they pose a threat to me, whether they pose a threat or not, I don't know yet?" King Yu scolded angrily and said that he was both angry and disappointed with the ministers below.
"Your Majesty's anger, anger is also for Your Majesty's consideration......" The national teacher soothed, he was afraid that his pill would be burned by anger The effect was gone.
"For me? It's not for themselves, I'm embarrassed to expose them, one by one, they are high-sounding, they say it nicely, and they want to use me as a shield, I once promised Zhuang Qing that he would negotiate Hebei Province, and he would take up Hebei Province after negotiation, and he would take office as Jiannan Province after negotiating until he negotiated to Jiannan Province, and if he could get back two roads, he would take up two ways, and now he wants me to break his word? ”
What did King Yu think at the beginning, he felt that Zhuang Xun had some earth-shattering ability, that is, to replace Jiannan Dao with Hebei Dao, after all, Hebei Dao is much better than Jiannan's current situation, but what he never expected was that Zhuang Xun really wanted to come back to both Dao.
"One person mastering two ways is something that the king has not been able to achieve, and there is nothing to blame for the ministers' proposals, but His Majesty's promise violates the principles of the monarch." The national teacher and the ministers are in a similar position here.
Moreover, the county officials of these two provinces are not appointed by the imperial court, they are appointed by Zhuang Xun, not to mention Jiannan, Hebei Province is simply Zhuang Xun's private kingdom, which seems to be too much, and it is normal to have ministers to oppose it.
"People took it back with their ability, and snatched it back from other people's hands, I still have to make a face, isn't the national teacher protecting Zhuang Qing? How to help others speak today. King Yu was slightly stunned, he came to find the national teacher to find recognition, why did the national teacher still stand on the opposite side of him.
"The old way is just to protect the Yu country, in charge of the two roads, Zhuang Yushi did pose a threat to the Yu country, the princes were in civil strife, he went out of Hebei, became a stack, and changed the dynasty, but it was only a matter of time." The national teacher issued a warning to King Yu, he admired Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun was also his sapling, but his position was that of Yu Guo.
"This ......" The words of the national teacher made King Yu take the test for a long time, and the analysis is indeed so.
"At the beginning, His Majesty gave Zhuang Yushi a place to let him show his strategy and protect him from being hurt by the battle between the princes, but now, after digesting the two provinces of Jiannan and Hebei, he is no longer self-preservation, but has the strength to compete for the throne."
Seeing King Yu thinking, the national teacher continued, said his previous purpose, and then compared with the strength of Zhuang Xun now, as for how to deal with it, it depends on King Yu.
King Yu paused when he heard this, and then it was like a sculpture, the wind and rain outside, the lightning roared, and the palace was quiet and terrifying.
The low-pressure air, the national teacher lowered his eyes, if King Yu didn't call him here today, he wouldn't say such a thing, but since he was called, he naturally wanted to be loyal to the king, even if it was his sapling.
What kind of decision will King Yu make, the national teacher has no bottom in his heart, will radical it intensify the contradiction, Zhuang Xun's character is not swallowed, but this is the position, as the national teacher, he has this position to point out this hidden danger for King Yu.
"I heard that Zhuang Qing, with the help of Mrs. Jiang, recruited officials to redivide the land in Jiannan Road, so that the cultivators could have their fields, use the good seeds, and teach the farmers to use them." I don't know how long it has been, the rumbling outside the door has been intermittently gone, and King Yu said out loud, I can't hear what the attitude is, and briefly discuss this matter.
"Yes, Zhuang Yushi is a good official, the displaced people have been resettled, given food before the autumn harvest, and organized the maintenance of the embankment, etc., confiscated the dead and fled Haoqiang's land, redistributed the land according to the population, the people of Jiannan Province who originally fled heard about it, and now they are rushing back, after the beginning of spring, Yin Du has very few fleeing people in Xihe County."
The national teacher stroked his beard, no matter who he relied on, after this matter was done, Zhuang Xun's merit was doubled, and he could also share a small profit, although it was still a drop in the bucket for him, at most he could choose a happy family in the next life, but immortal cultivators are two-faced people, on the one hand, they are indifferent to suffering, because there is no reason to act, and on the other hand, they are appreciative when they see someone solve this kind of thing.
"He has a talent for governing the country, right, he doesn't levy a poll tax, only a land tax, so as to encourage childbirth, he really dares." King Yu chuckled, judging from the news he received, the revival of Jiannan Province may be much earlier than expected, and the policy is also radical.
Fortunately, the Haoqiang family of Jiannan Dao is almost dead, and a small number of people can't afford to set off the wind and waves, otherwise he can think of how much backlash it will cause, and it is definitely not just now just to persuade him to make a move.
He didn't know that Zhuang Xun just listened to the report, and the remote control command was done by Si Qinmi, but the result was certain, it was obvious to all, in just a few months, Jiannan Dao had already shown prosperity, so he affirmed Zhuang Xun's ability to govern the country.
Hearing the praise in King Yu's tone, the national teacher knew that what he was most worried about had not happened, and after saying bad things, he began to say good things.
"He is measured, and he is only engaged in Jiannan Road, a land where there are no people, and he has not moved much in Hebei Province, and he still uses the original law to govern." The national teacher is also quite concerned about Zhuang Xun, after all, people are idle, and they belong to sitting and waiting for the end of their lives.
The reason why the big families in China can still sit still is because Zhuang Xun's policy is only limited to Jiannan Province, and everyone thinks that it is a temporary measure to ensure population growth.
"National teacher, do you see my children, is there really a rescue?" King Yu's topic changed abruptly, and he returned to the issue of heirs.
"All of them...... The minister has said that the minister has no opinion or want to say about the issue of the prince. The national teacher resolutely said that highlighting is a person who doesn't want to be on the side of anyone.
"I see." King Yu's expression was a little gloomy, and then a little more relieved.
"Does the national teacher know the origin of our Yu country?" King Yu became relaxed, as if he had let go of something.
"This old way is a bit of research, after the fall of the Ji Kingdom, the town guard ...... "The national teacher has done his homework, at least he knows the founding history of the Yu Kingdom."
"Isn't that, does the national teacher know the origin of the name Yu Guo?" King Yu let go of the quilt and slowly stood up, and the national teacher hurriedly went to support him when he saw this.
King Yu went to the bookshelf with his support and flipped through things with difficulty.
"What Your Majesty is looking for, just come here, you can rest." Seeing that he was working so hard, the national teacher took the initiative to say.
"Found it." King Yu took out a yellowed book, slowly returned to the bed with the support of the national teacher, and turned the pages.
"What are Your Majesty looking for?" The national teacher said with some curiosity.
"Find the source of our country name, Yao Shun Chanrang." King Yu said as he flipped through the yellowed book.
Without waiting for the surprised expression of the national teacher to form, King Yu looked at the book and continued: "The two ancestors of ancient times, one named Yao and the other named Shun, Shun is virtuous, so Yao gave up the throne to Shun, and married his two daughters to him named Empress Nuying. ”
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" The national teacher felt trembling in his heart, and vaguely touched King Yu's thoughts.
"Our family name is Tang, the legend is the descendant of Yao, the ancestors took this legend when they founded the country, and they were afraid that their country would be taken away, so they simply called the country Yu, because the people who were given by Zen were called Yu Shun, Yu was a fief and his country name, thinking that this would avoid the end of the country being taken away, saying that the luck was grafted, and it seems that there is no Yu country and it is inevitable to be the fate of Zen." King Yu smiled when he said this.
"Look at Zhuang Qing, is it much more competitive than my children." King Yu said with some relief, the meaning was already obvious.
"Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the ministers to accept it, and it will be difficult for the kings to accept it, and Zhuang Xun must not be a real dragon." The national teacher persuaded that King Yu's idea was too bold.
The real dragon is the king of Zhao, after all, the Xuannu Niangniang has already bet.
"I know, you said that I was going to hurry up and give up the position, did he hold it down? It still takes him to be strong enough to be able to afford the treasure, I just said that I don't care how many dishes he has in his hands now. King Yu's face became radiant and energetic.
"If he is a real dragon, he will prosper when he encounters water, so I won't be an obstacle to his carp leaping dragon gate, wouldn't it be good for me to be his ladder to climb?"
"Let him fight with that group of evil obstacles, isn't it clear to the real dragon at a glance?"
"It can't be worse anyway."
