Chapter Seventy-Seven: And the Confession
When Zhou Shaoan read the whole letter, he was already in tears, the mother's reluctance to the child, but had to leave his feelings, Zhou Shaoan was very empathetic, and couldn't help but substitute himself into it.
Seeing Zhou Shao'an's whole person in tears, Foye comforted him on the side and smiled, and comforted him softly: "Hehe, the young master doesn't have to be too uncomfortable, this is the lady's own choice, presumably the lady in the heavenly spirit doesn't want to see the young master so sad." ”
Zhou Jing also followed by the persuasion: "Yes, Your Royal Highness, don't be too sad, Madam will not be happy to see you so sad in the spirit of heaven." ”
After half a ring, Zhou Shao'an's mood finally calmed down under the persuasion of Zhou Jing and the others, and Zhou Shao'an noticed the wooden box on the table.
If the letter is not wrong, then this wooden box contains the annotations that my mother spent ten years making for the Tao Te Ching, the supreme classic of the Shangqing Sect. Zhou Shaoan opened the box, and sure enough, he saw a pale yellow tissue paper placed on top of a pale blue page.
Zhou Shaoan took out the tissue paper and looked at it, only to see that what was written on the beginning was Zhou Shaoan's familiar sentence: "The Tao is good, the way is very good, the name is famous, the name is not famous." Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, named, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire, in order to observe its wonder, and there is always desire, in order to observe its subtlety. These two have the same name and different names, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders......"
It turned out that this pale yellow thin paper only wrote the original text of the "Tao Te Ching", but Zhou Shao'an felt different from what he saw in his previous life when he saw it, until he saw the back and found that this was a fragment of the "Tao Te Ching" in the middle of more than 2,000 words, and it had begun to be intermittent, and the back was simply scribbled, which was not at all different from what he saw in his previous life.
Put down the fragment of the Tao Te Ching and look at the blue book, the book is only a thin point, and the writing is written in a juanxiu font with five big characters "Tao Te Ching Commentary". It seems that this is the annotation that the mother of this body has spent ten years making on this fragment of the Tao Te Ching, but Zhou Shaoan is not ready to read it at present. The fragment of the Tao Te Ching and the letter left by his mother were folded and sandwiched in the Commentary on the Tao Te Ching, and then the wooden box was put away.
Looking at the observation of Fuye who had been smiling and staring at himself, Zhou Shaoan said: "By the way, Uncle Fuye will call me An'er in the future, you don't have to be a young master, a young master, this is not only my mother's wish, but also my request." You watched me grow up, and you always call me young master, and the young master seems too raw. ”
Hearing Zhou Shao'an's proposal, Foye smiled and said three good words in a row: "Good, good, good." Since the young master said so, the old slave will shout at the young master in the future. ”
Hearing that Uncle Foye agreed to his request, Zhou Shaoan relieved himself and continued to ask: "Uncle Foye, have you been here alone all these years? Have you ever seen other special people come here?"
Zhou Shao'an didn't rush to ask who killed his mother? He believed that if Efuye's temperament knew, then he would definitely take revenge, regardless of whether he was deposed or not.
"Haha, the old slave has been alone in this palace for so many years, but there are a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants in this palace now, but if you want to say anything special, I haven't seen it. ”
Speaking of this, looking at Zhou Shao'an's expression of disbelief, he explained: "After the young master was poisoned, seeing that he was powerless, I hurriedly reported the news to the emperor. The first emperor was furious, although he sent all the imperial doctors in Ouchi, but to no avail. can only barely keep An'er your life, the first emperor was angry and killed the entire palace, including the imperial doctor, and the entire palace was full of blood. Since then, not to mention special people, even ordinary people are afraid that ghosts here will not come. There is only one old slave here, so young master, you see that the entire palace is overgrown with weeds, and it is really the old slave who can't take care of it alone. ”
"I see" Zhou Shao'an then understood why the entire palace was so dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. Foye was deposed and repaired to live here, and I'm afraid that eating has been a problem all these years, let alone tidying up the overgrown prince's mansion.
It seems that the father of this body loved his son very much, and he was also a seedling on a thousand acres of land. And this seedling is still growing very well, waiting for him to grow and take over. was made mentally retarded all of a sudden, and this can't be accepted by anyone, let alone the emperor.
In a hurry, killing all the people who were poorly guarded in the entire palace and treating the imperial doctors who were unsuccessful were a little brutal, but they were not incomprehensible. After all, this is the heir of the empire who has gone wrong, but no matter how many people are killed, they can't save the fact that the original Zhou Shaoan has become an idiot.
The first emperor could only kill people to vent his anger, but this method was not done by the emperor after all, on the one hand, he was already sick, and on the other hand, he had no hope and was advised by the ministers day and night. finally couldn't stand it anymore, leaving only the mentally handicapped Zhou Shaoan and the underadult Zhou Weiyang.
Zhou Shaoan asked again: "In this way, if I want to establish a force here, then there should be no obstacles, right?"
"Shao, An'er, what kind of force do you want to build?" Fuye heard Zhou Shao'an's words and hurriedly asked, but he couldn't change his words for a while, and he reluctantly called An'er when he saw Zhou Shao'an's eyes.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing on the side hurriedly stepped forward to tell Fuye about the general situation of the court situation, and then told Zhou Shaoan how she suggested that Her Majesty the Empress set up a brocade guard to deal with it, and finally how Zhou Shaoan was ordered to choose a site with himself. Zhou Shaoan said that it is rare in the sky and difficult to find on the ground, and he saw through the situation at a glance and put forward such a resolution, he is really a great man with great talent.
Foye, who listened directly, was surprised and delighted, surprised that the situation in the court was so bad, and was happy that the young master responded to the current situation. So sharp and resolute, worthy of being the son of his wife. looked at Zhou Jing who had been praising Zhou Shao'an, and her heart moved slightly, but her face didn't show any expression, she just looked at Zhou Shao'an with a strange expression.
Zhou Shaoan was already a little embarrassed by Zhou Jing's compliments, but at this time, he saw the strange eyes that Uncle Fuye saw, and he was even more embarrassed to look at it.
could only cough vigorously twice, and when she saw Zhou Jing looking at her suspiciously, she hurriedly blinked vigorously and motioned to Zhou Jing with her eyes to stop talking.
Zhou Jing saw Zhou Shao'an behaving like this, and then she saw Fuye's strange eyes, and suddenly felt shy, and hurriedly stopped talking.
Only then did Zhou Shaoan say to Fuye: "Uncle Fuye, although what Zhou Jing said is exaggerated, this is the general situation. Do you think it's feasible for juniors to suggest this?"
Foye smiled and said, "No, no." No exaggeration, no exaggeration. Even in my opinion, An'er, your strategy and decision-making are also right, and extraordinary situations should be used. This matter is easy to do, although this place is deserted, but it is just the place that meets An'er's needs, the place is large and remote. Just find someone to renovate it. ”
Zhou Shao'an saw that Uncle Foye not only praised his resolution, but also agreed to build the Jinyi Guard General Mansion here, and gave himself a proposal for renovation. Sure enough, it's your own person, and you will face yourself.
However, Zhou Shaoan was not ready to renovate, he decided to directly push it to the reconstruction, using the original Jinyiwei as a template to establish the Jinyiwei General Office, and the south and north towns of Fusi. When the time comes, I will also have the addiction of a Jinyi Guard commander and experience the feeling of being rampant and domineering.
And after all, so many innocent people have died here, Zhou Shaoan is afraid that living here is haunted, although he no longer has to be afraid of ghosts when he cultivates now, but it is his nature to be afraid of ghosts. It has nothing to do with the level of cultivation.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoan told Uncle Fuye of his decision to directly tear down the palace and rebuild, hoping that he could support him.
After listening to Zhou Shao'an's decision, Foye laughed softly: "Hehe, it's okay." There is too much bleeding in this place, and it is a good move to tear down and rebuild, An'er is doing a great thing, let it go. ”
