Zhong You got up, approached Zhang Liang, looked at him condescendingly and said: "You suspect that there is a problem with the soldier saint, for the safety of the Han Kingdom, for the sake of Confucianism, this seat is willing to take some trouble to investigate and solve it." ”

"One thing, this seat must tell you that until there is clear evidence that Bing Sheng has bad intentions, the Han State must fully support him in resisting the Chu army, and there must be no discount. ”

"If this seat knows who dares to disobey the yang and the yin, I will never let him go easily, do you understand?"

Zhong You dropped a cruel word, turned back to Bu Shang and said, "Senior brother, you and I will go to see the teacher together." ”

Sitting on the steps, Liu Ji, who was like a puppet, finally spoke up: "The two sages walk slowly. ”

Zhong You had great respect for Liu Ji, the king of Han, and bowed his hand to him before leaving.

As soon as Zhong Youbu Shang left, Liu Ji's face immediately showed a worried look and said, "Right and left, does Jiang Shang really have a ghost in his heart?"

Zhang Liang sighed and said: "Back to the king, Jiang Shang's recent behavior has been obvious, and he is indeed raising his own respect." ”

Liu Ji hurriedly said: "In this way, wouldn't the Han Kingdom be in danger?"

Zhang Liang shook his head: "Don't worry, the king is at ease, the Han Kingdom is worry-free, Jiang Shang doesn't dare to blatantly ruin the Confucian plan, he can't afford the wrath of the Confucian sage." ”

Liu Ji was a little puzzled: "In this case, why did the right minister react so violently, even if he ceased war with the Chu State, he would take away Jiang Shang's military power?"

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly and said: "Jiang Shang will not be unfavorable to the Han Kingdom, let alone Confucianism, but he may not be unfavorable to the king." ”

Liu Ji looked dazed: "How do you say this?"

Zhang Liang took a deep breath and said, "For the Confucian sage, he needs a secular dynasty to fight for the Mandate of Heaven for Confucianism and use it to gain benefits. For some reason, the Confucian sage chose the king. ”

Once Jiang Shang completely grasped the military power and used this to control the court, he himself was friendly with Confucianism, and he would seek to usurp the throne in a single thought. ”

"The minister has never worried that Jiang Shang will be unfavorable to the Han Kingdom, and the minister is worried that he will be unfavorable to the king. ”

When Liu Ji heard the words, cold sweat flowed down.

Don't look at Liu Ji like a puppet now, but in fact, the civil and military forces of the Han Kingdom basically listened to him, and even if Confucianism interfered, they would symbolically ask his opinion.

But if an outsider controls the court, Liu Ji will not be as comfortable as he is now, I am afraid that he will not even be able to save his life.

Liu Ji immediately made up his mind and said: "Right Minister, you must solve this problem as soon as possible, don't let that Jiang Shang succeed." ”

Zhang Liang bowed slightly and said, "The minister obeys." ”

Liu Ji felt that this was not safe, and asked, "Right Xiang, what do you think of Lone going to visit the Confucian Sage later?"

Zhang Liang looked at the increasingly strong dragon qi on Liu Ji's body, and replied with a smile: "If the king has this intention, of course it is feasible. It's just that the king has to pay attention to his words and demeanor. ”

Liu Ji stood up from the main seat, walked down the steps, came to Zhang Liang, patted him on the shoulder, and said intimately: "This matter has to be taught by the right minister." ”

Zhang Liang took a step forward and said in his ear: "The king should be so ...... so."

......

On the way back to the Jixia School Palace, Zhong You said with a look of hesitation on his face: "Senior brother, will there really be a problem with the Soldier Saint?"

Bu Shang smiled indifferently and said: "There must be a problem, what Zhang Liang said is reasonable and well-founded, and the senior brother must see it." But to say that the problem is big, it is not necessarily. ”

Zhong You asked with a puzzled expression, "Oh, how do you say this?"

Bu Shang said with confidence on his face: "Senior brother, I have forgotten that the soldier saint has taken refuge in Confucianism, and the teacher has passed on the word. With the wisdom of the teacher, if there is a problem with the soldier saint, how can he not take precautions?"

"With the teacher's cultivation of overpowering the heavens and the earth, the soldier saint will never dare to destroy the teacher's plan unless he wants to fall. ”

Zhong You said angrily when he heard this: "Bastard Zhang Liang, dare to exaggerate and actually fool me, do you really dare not kill him?"

Bu Shang hurriedly shook his head and persuaded: "Senior brother doesn't need to be angry, Zhang Liang is just having scruples, plus the soldier saint does have some problems, and you need to be careful." ”

Zhong You suddenly stopped: "Do I still have to solve his troubles in this way?" ”

Bu Shang coughed lightly and said: "This matter is complicated, I advise the senior brother to ask the teacher for advice, otherwise something happens, the teacher will blame him, and the senior brother will probably feel uncomfortable." ”

Zhong You pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What the junior brother said is extremely true, and it is not too late to make a decision after asking the teacher." ”

In the main hall of the Jixia School Palace, Zhong You Bushang stood at the door, bowed down and said, "Teacher, the disciple has something to ask to see." ”

The majestic voice of the Confucian saint came from inside: "What's the matter?"

Zhong You replied: "The matter of the Han Kingdom." ”

After a while, the voice of the Confucian sage sounded again: "Zhong You can just come in alone." ”

Zhong You glanced at Bu Shang with an apologetic face, and stepped into the main hall with his legs raised.

Bu Shang smiled, not seeing anything abnormal.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhong You walked out of the main hall with a solemn face, and Bu Shang hurriedly asked, "Senior brother, what did the teacher say?"

Zhong You said in a deep voice: "The teacher said that the Han State cannot afford to lose, let me contact the Buddha Gate as soon as possible, and if the Buddha Gate cannot give a satisfactory result, I will prepare to make a truce with the Chu State." ”

"If the state of Chu refuses to stop fighting, Confucianism will directly unite with Buddhism to launch a war of heaven and man against Biyou Palace, forcing Biyou Palace to agree. ”

Bu Shang was shocked: "The teacher would say this, Senior Brother is not mistaken, right?"

Zhong You said angrily: "Will I still deceive my junior brother? Not only that, but the teacher also warned me, saying that Zhang Liangxiao He is a capable minister who can help the Han Kingdom succeed, so let me be polite to them." ”

Bu Shang smiled bitterly and said, "Senior brother, did you even tell the teacher about the previous dispute with Zhang Liang and Xiao He?"

Zhong Yu said confidently: "Of course, how can I deceive the teacher?"

Bu Shang said thoughtfully: "Since the teacher cares about the Han Kingdom so much, he does not hesitate to launch a war between heaven and man to protect the Han Kingdom, and the senior brother has to be cautious in his actions and words." ”

Zhong You nodded: "It's a matter of Confucianism, how dare I slack off?" It's just that why didn't the teacher directly warn the soldier saint and let him not have bad intentions?"

Bu Shang thought for a while and said, "After all, there is no conclusive evidence, and the teacher is worried that the soldier saint will be chilled by this, so of course he will not act recklessly." ”

Zhong You suddenly realized: "I see. ”

Then Zhong You looked at Bu Shang and said very seriously: "I can't leave because of something, can my junior brother go to the Buddha Gate for me and listen to their thoughts?"

Bu Shang arched his hand and smiled: "Senior brother ordered, how dare the junior brother refuse?"

Zhong You nodded heavily and said: "I'm tired of my junior brother running hard, my junior brother is going, as long as Buddhism can't give a satisfactory result to Confucianism in a short time, my junior brother will come back immediately, remember not to stay too long." ”

Bu Shang arched his hand and said, "Please rest assured, senior brother." ”

After speaking, a long river of righteousness emerged, and Bu Shang sat on it and went south.

As soon as Bu Shang left, Zhong You turned around and went to the palace, where he wanted to summon Zhang Liang and Xiao He to discuss the truce.
