Lan Qi asked, "So what can you do? Does this have anything to do with your inflated desire for power?"

Murong Zheng shook his head and said, "I did have selfish intentions at the beginning of the founding of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, in order to survive the future succession of the throne, but I found that if my strength is enough to shake the dynasty, then everything will go according to my ideals." ”

Lan Qi looked at him with fearful eyes, and now Murong Zheng was like a madman, a madman who could bring danger at any time.

Murong Zheng continued: "Does Qiqi only know, although my current prestige and status are not in power, but it is also in full swing, if I can use the power of the rivers and lakes to help the new emperor ascend the throne, then what will happen?"

Lan Qi said: "If the rabbit dies and the dog cooks, you will be destroyed." Since ancient times, there are few ministers who have a good end, although I am not very good at history, but I have heard the story of blue jade in this dynasty, and the human skin of blue jade is still hanging in the palace of the king of Shu in Chengdu. And I remember that Lan Yu's original title was Yongchang Hou, and it was only a word difference with your Wuchang Hou. Aren't you afraid of ending up like Lan Yu?"

Murong Zheng laughed wildly at this time, and he said: "I'm naturally not afraid, the emperor killed Lan Yu because Lan Yu is no longer valuable, and I will always be valuable." ”

Lan Qi narrowed her eyes and said, "Oh, I don't quite understand why you are so confident. You weren't like that. ”

Murong Zheng turned around at this time and said, "Qiqi, don't you know, people change, when a person is in a different position, what you see is also different. For example, if you are just a commoner and not the head disciple of the Heavenly Machine Sect, my old man, do you think you can still stand here and talk to me face to face?"

Lan Qi was dumbfounded, it really can't, Murong Zheng's identity is Hou, and he also has an official position, let alone ordinary people, let alone seeing him, even if it is a seven-grade sesame county official, it is not an easy thing.

Murong Zheng said sarcastically: "Any prince who violates the law and commits the same crime against the people, it is just said to perfunctory the people." People are always different. ”

Lan Qi also agrees with Murong Zheng's words, she is with Lin Luoyao, she has witnessed a lot of inequality, there is nothing in Lin Luoyao's place that is uneven with one ingot of silver, if one ingot does not work, then two ingots.

Lan Qi said, "You're that different person?"

Murong Zheng nodded silently and said, "That's right, I am, Qiqi I can hide it from anyone, but I won't hide it from you." Because I still have two trump cards in my hand. ”

Lan Qi asked, "What trump card?"

Murong Zheng smiled and said nothing, but Lan Qi didn't ask, after all, this was his killer feature, if it was a killer feature, he would naturally not reveal it casually.

Murong Zheng still explained his plan to Lan Qi, and Murong Zheng said: "As long as I control the martial arts, then I will have the capital to negotiate with Xinjun, abolish the Bagu Wen, the Bagu Wen is empty and useless, it has nothing to do with political affairs, it is just a shackle used to imprison ideas, only by breaking this shackle, we will move forward better." ”

Lan Qi shook her head and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

Murong Zheng said: "Qiqi, you don't need to understand, you just need to know that what I did was right." I need your support, and if you don't, it's okay, I hope you don't come to stand in the way. Okay? Kiki. ”

Lan Qi asked this time: "If you don't explain it to me, how do I know that what you said is right, and how can I support you?"

Murong Zheng sighed and said, "Okay, I'll explain it to you, although it's very troublesome to explain." ”

Murong Zheng picked up a book of Analects and said, "Qiqi, take a look at the contents of this book. ”

Lan Qi didn't look at it, the Analects are the foundation of learning, and the Analects are Confucius's students, compiled by Confucius's thoughts and speeches during his lifetime. When I was a child, when I went to a private school, gentlemen would teach this book first.

Although Lan Qi had never gone to a private school, and the first book she learned was not the Analects, Ling Xuzi still let her dabble in it.

The teaching of Tianjimen is mainly the Taoist doctrine of "Huang Lao Wuwei", and the first book to learn is not the Confucian "Analects" and "University", but "Zhuangzi", "Liezi" and "Daozang" and other books.

Murong Zheng said: "As for what is said here, I won't mention it, I'll just talk about it, Confucianism's misguided country." ”

Murong Zheng was the first or second man to talk to girls about these things, and the first was Lou Yun, but the girls in front of them were willing to be their listeners, although they couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

Although Lan Qi read "Zhuangzi" and didn't like the great truths of Confucius and Mencius, she still respected these sages very much. However, it is the first time I have heard of the theory that Confucius and Mencius misled the country.

Since ancient times, the way of Confucius and Mencius has become a gentleman's gift, and the Confucian sage Confucius has been named a god-like figure.

The descendants of Confucius have always been courteous to the monarchs of various dynasties, and they have a hereditary title, no matter how the dynasty changes, it has not changed the position, this title is called "Yan Sheng Gong". From the Song Dynasty onwards, whether it was the Two Song Dynasty, or Jin Xia, or even the later Meng Yuan, they did not shake the status of Kong's concubine.

The descendants of Confucius have always inherited the title of Yan Sheng Gong, and they are responsible for a very simple matter, that is, they are responsible for the sacrifices of the Confucian Temple.

The kings showed respect for the culture by honoring the Kong.

However, Murong Zheng was very disgusted with Yan Shenggong, although he also studied the Four Books and Five Classics to gain fame, but he was very disgusted with Confucianism. A school that preaches loyalty to the monarch and love for the people, but it stands tall in the change of dynasty.

This in itself is a kind of irony, while people of other schools of thought are burning jade for their own beliefs, their own country, and their own monarchs, while Confucianism, as a model of loyalty to the monarch and love for the people, often stands on both sides of the king, and they never care who this monarch is, or whether it is the court to which they were loyal and loyal before.

At the time of Yashan, the loyal ministers and righteous men of the Song Dynasty all returned to the sea with the king, and even the captured Wen Tianxiang still wrote the poem "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang".

And the descendants of the Kong family, who were highly respected by the Song family, became the Yan Shenggong of Mengyuan.

After the fall of Meng Yuan, Kong's sister-in-law became the Yan Sheng Gong of the Ming Dynasty.

Loyalty, sure enough, is loyalty, Confucianism is just loyalty. As for who this "gentleman" is, it doesn't matter what the surname of this court is.

And the current Yan Shenggong has also been advocating the Confucian theory, self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world.
