Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Gathering of the Virtuous Men (1)

Huainan, Yangzhou City.

The north of Yangzhou City has recently built a magnificent palace, covering an extremely wide area, the palace is majestic, and the scale is only slightly inferior to the Chang'an Palace. The government mansion built on the south side of the palace forms an extraordinary urban area with it.

In order to distinguish it from the Yangzhou city in the past, the people of the time named it Zicheng, and called the southern city Luocheng.

The reason why this palace was built is, of course, to echo Gao Biao's identity as "King Wu" - after Li Maozhen held the Son of Heaven hostage, in order to appease the princes of all walks of life and establish his own authority, he used the hands of Emperor Li Yan to seal the princes of the world, and Gao Biao was named King of Wu.

There is an area on the west side of the palace of Wu Wang, the architectural style is quite peculiar, in addition to the pavilion and loft platform, the main building is a high platform as high as nine zhang nine, enough to overlook the whole city. On the high platform, a formation that is different from the ordinary magic circle is imprinted, and there are many tool-type buildings with different shapes.

This place is called the stargazing platform, and there is only one word difference between it and the star-picking platform of Qintianjian in Chang'an City.

The Star Picking Platform is a place where the monks of the Taoist Gate of Qintianjian observe the stars at night, interpret the will of heaven, and predict good and bad fortunes. The role of the observatory is largely the same, the only difference is that the monks stationed here are all Confucian scholars.

It's night, the stars are like the sea, and the night breeze is slightly cool.

On the stargazing platform, a person is holding a book in his hand, looking up at the night sky. said that he hadn't moved for a long time, and he didn't even have the slightest sound. I could only hear the slight rustling of my clothes and hair in the night breeze.

This person is none other than Wang Zaifeng, one of the four sages of Confucianism.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Zaifeng took a long breath, closed the book in his hand, and the light flashed in his deep and wise eyes, and he walked down slowly from the high platform.

Gao Biao and a few cronies had been waiting in front of the stargazing platform for a long time, and when he saw Wang Zaifeng coming down from the steps, he couldn't hold back the emotions in his heart for a while, stepped over to meet him, and asked with concern: "How is it?"

Wang Zaifeng stroked his long gray beard, and said in an unfathomable tone: "The will of heaven is unpredictable, and the old man doesn't dare to say that he can interpret it all...... What is certain, however, is that we do have a chance to make a difference. ”

Hearing the words "change the heavens and the earth", Gao Biao couldn't help but look uplifted, and hurriedly asked: "Is the Daomen Immortal Court's rule over heaven and earth really about to be subverted? Who will be the next lord of heaven and earth? Is it Li Ye and the demon clan, or is it the Lone King and the Confucian Sect?"

Wang Zaifeng pondered for a moment, "The former only has a chance, and the latter is even more impossible." ”

Gao Biao was immediately disappointed.

He said eagerly: "King An has occupied the Central Plains, Zhu Wen has fled Kunlun, according to the current situation, if the orthodox status of heaven and earth in the Daomen Immortal Court is subverted, it is the time for King An and the demon clan to succeed! Could it be that the final result is that they will possess the world?"

Wang Zaifeng glanced at Gao Yu and said quietly: "Your Highness, have you forgotten that the old man once said that this mortal matter should be handled by the people of the mortal world?

Gao Biao reacted quickly, the so-called mortal things and mortal reasoning, these six words Wang Zaifeng naturally did not say out of thin air before, and it is likely to be the result of breaking the will of heaven.

The so-called providence is naturally the meaning of the way of heaven and the meaning of the evolution of the avenue.

Gao Yu's eyes widened unconsciously: "So, King An will fail?"

Wang Zaifeng sighed, but did not answer immediately. He came to a nearby room, sat down behind the small table that had been prepared a long time ago, and took a sip of hot tea to run the mulberry.

Waiting for Gao Yu to sit still, he looked at him expectantly.

Wang Zaifeng said unhurriedly: "King An led the demon monks and Taoist soldiers to fight in Kunlun, and the providence showed that the rule of the Daomen Immortal Court would be subverted, so King An and the demon clan would not be defeated in this battle, but it was impossible for the demon clan to meddle in mortal affairs, which showed that King An and the demon clan would not succeed in this battle." This assertion seems to be contradictory, but in fact, it contains the opportunity of our Confucianism -

— also an opportunity for His Highness. ”

Without waiting for Wang Zaifeng to continue the following words, Gao Biao couldn't bear it anymore.

He leaned forward and said, "Sir, you mean, when they both lose, we can reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Wang Zaifeng was unusually stunned.

He bowed his head indifferently and was silent for a long time.

When it was over, Wang Zaifeng said slowly with a very unfamiliar look and tone: "Righteousness, self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world, this is the goal that every Confucian scholar pursues all his life." We Confucian scholars may not be perfect, but we take our family and country as our own responsibility, and if we are poor, we will be good to ourselves, and if we are good, we will help the world at the same time, and we are committed to the great governance of the world, but we have never forgotten the mission. The immortal court is not removed, Confucianism is not prosperous, and the common people are not blessed. ”

Gao Yu was stunned.

He immediately said: "The ambition of Confucianism is naturally clear, and he has always admired it, and because of this, Huainan is a Confucian resort......"

Before Gao Yu finished speaking, Wang Zaifeng suddenly interrupted him: "No, Your Highness doesn't know!"

Gao Biao was surprised, looking at Wang Zaifeng speechless for a while, and his face became embarrassed and ugly.

Wang Zaifeng sighed: "I wonder if Your Highness can remember that the old man once used food as a lure to teach a group of little beggars to read sages on the street? But who remembers the little beggars afterwards?

Gao Yu frowned, and said in a low voice: "What does Mr. want to mention this matter at this time?"

Seeing that Gao Biao was just embarrassed, but not introspective, Wang Zaifeng's eyes flashed with a touch of disappointment.

He sighed: "With the old man's ability, he can indeed change the fate of those beggars, and even if it is not good, he can admit them to the dormitory and let them become Confucian disciples." But the old man didn't do that, Your Highness knows why?"

Gao Yu didn't speak.

Wang Zaifeng continued to take care of himself: "In troubled times, there are tens of millions of displaced people in the world, and it is the Confucian scholars who want to save everyone, not these three or five! It is easy to change the fate of these three or five beggars, but what will be the result? It is just a matter of making us feel at ease. ”

"If we save three or five people today, and tomorrow we will save three or five people, how many people can our school house accommodate at best? In exchange for the complacent complacent nature of Confucian scholars with the fate of hundreds or thousands of people? In exchange for the praise of benevolence and righteousness from all over the world? Let us think that we are noble and virtuous?"

"This is not true benevolence, this is just self-deception, and it is even more deception of the world!"

Gao Yu frowned.

He didn't know what Wang Zaifeng was talking about.

Wang Zaifeng did not stop.

He looked at Gao Biao seriously, "It is very easy for a Confucian scholar to be an official in Huainan, and His Royal Highness can nod his head, but it is difficult to realize his Confucian ambitions, because it will offend very moving interests." In the past few days, Confucian scholars have hoped to implement benevolent government, but they have been blocked, and His Highness has supported it on the surface, but in fact he is unwilling to really implement many major policies, why is this?"

Without waiting for Gao Biao to answer, Wang Zaifeng had already given the answer: "Because His Royal Highness is worried that the new policy will make those wealthy landlords dissatisfied and lose their support, causing instability in Huainan and affecting his own great achievements!"

Gao Yu was furious.

He said: "As the lord of one party, the lone king naturally has to take care of the interests of all parties, otherwise how can he win the support of everyone?

Wang Zaifeng laughed, full of contempt.

He competed with each other: "If this is the case, the name of King Wu is the culmination of His Highness's achievements." ”

Gao Yu was furious.

He almost wanted to flip the table and leave.

Since Wang Zaifeng arrived in Yangzhou, no such conflict has broken out between them.

Gao Biao couldn't even understand why Wang Zaifeng had such excessive remarks tonight.

Just because he said that he wanted to reap the profits, he went to the right place

King Fu'an?

Whose Confucian sect is it?!

......

Chang'an City, Qiwang Mansion.

Unlike Gao Biao's new palace in Yangzhou, Li Maozhen's Qi Wangfu is only a palace, and it is not called a palace, and it is not a new mansion, but an old mansion of acceptable scale.

The only desirable thing about the Qi Wangfu is that it is close to the palace.

It is also very close to the Anwang Mansion.

Under the starry night, Li Maozhen, whose face is like a crown of jade, stands in the attic and looks at the brightly lit market, idle like a carefree man. There is no such killing edge on the battlefield, and it shows a bit of elegance.

With Li Maozhen's world-class appearance, whether he is wearing a powerful elite armor or this ordinary person's clothes, he has a kind of charm that makes people look sideways. In fact, Li Maozhen often compares herself to Song Yu Pan An on weekdays, and pays attention to her own makeup in her spare time - makeup rather than dress.

At this moment, Li Maozhen, whose eyes narrowed slightly, chuckled in a narrow tone: "I only know that soldiers are good at battle formations, but I didn't expect that they also know how to observe celestial phenomena." ”

Zhao Bingkun, who had already returned to Chang'an, said behind him: "Enlightenment of the Heavenly Phenomenon is the Great Dao of Enlightenment, how can a soldier monk be an exception?"

Li Maozhen didn't dwell on this issue, shook his feather fan and asked directly: "What is the opinion of the soldiers? While King An is fighting with the Taoist soldiers in Kunlun, we will send troops to attack the Central Plains?"

"The Central Plains is naturally going to attack, but not now. Zhao Bingkun said, "There are no eggs under the nest, and if you don't subvert the orthodox status of the fairy court to heaven and earth, you can't realize the situation of mortal affairs and mortal reason." And to deal with the Immortal Court, only King An and the demon clan will inevitably be unable to do it, and His Royal Highness will have to help King An. ”

Li Maozhen said in a strange tone: "With the ability of the human emperor, it is only to limit the Kunlun passage, what virtue can I have, how can I help King An?"

Zhao Bingkun said: "The human emperor has no heavenly opportunity, but His Royal Highness and King An do. It's just that His Royal Highness helps King An, and he may not be able to do this, but if the people in the world who have obtained the heavenly opportunity take action together, and then cooperate with the hundreds of schools of thought to gather the power of luck from all directions, it is possible to change his life against the immortals!"

Li Maozhen put away the feather fan and looked back at Zhao Bingkun, her handsome and heroic face was not without ridicule, "Gao Biao and Wang Jian will also come to help?

Zhao Bingkun said: "In fact, Wang Zaifeng, one of the four sages of Confucianism, has already sent an envoy to Chang'an, intending to persuade the soldiers to complete this matter. ”

Li Maozhen unexpectedly raised her slender willow eyebrows, and immediately sneered, "Confucianism has made the right choice this time." ”

Zhao Bingkun said: "If the immortal court is not removed, there will be no real competition for the Central Plains, and Confucianism still understands this truth." ”

"How is Wang Jian? This guy is very tossed in Shu, I heard that there are many strange people from all sects, what kind of Mojia craftsman master, Legalist change celebrity, famous debater, the whole miscellaneous family, he will also come to help?"

"The miscellaneous family itself is also one of the hundred...... If Wang Jian wants to get out of Shu, he must participate in this grand event in the world!"

Li Maozhen didn't talk right away.

"I like this saying that the world is a grand event. Li Maozhen slowly showed her face, her red lips rose, and her smile was bewitching.

He pondered for a while, and suddenly said leisurely: "But if in addition to the Immortal Court, isn't the Demon Clan another Dao Sect? With their strength, they are enough to help King An sweep the world." ”

Zhao Bingkun said in a deep voice: "Under the providence of heaven, it is difficult for the demon clan to stay in the mortal world for a long time. ”

Li Maozhen nodded, this time the silence was longer.

At the end, he shook the feather fan again, and his eyes once again turned to the lights of the ten thousand houses in Chang'an City, "I can't imagine that the princes of all schools and all parties who are competing in the world also have the time to join forces against the enemy." This is really a gathering of heroes, a gathering of wind and clouds!"
