19. The Gathering of the Wise
Qian Qianyi...... Is it Wang Yangming?Master, was your brain broken by the Marquis of Huaiyin just now?" Lu Guanzhong said disrespectfully. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Less nonsense, scoundrel! I don't have time to argue with you right now. Xiao reprimanded. Then he put his hands behind him, paced back and forth, and said to himself: "As Gu Fengxi said, Qian Qianyi has a skill, and he can be in Fanjing Mountain and encourage us to meet with Dolgon. At the same time, he was able to appear in Wudang Mountain and provoke the three major leaders to assassinate Yang Sichang. The two Qian Qianyi's demeanor is flawless, if it weren't for the fact that he has twin brothers, then only he can travel thousands of miles in an instant, shuttling between the two places. When you fight Kongqiu, he can turn into white light and move as he pleases. Thinking about it this way, Wang Yangming, who also has an immortal soul, can also do this. Then the possibility that Qian Qianyi is Wang Yangming is very great. ”
Lu Guanzhong frowned and said, "This is a bit far-fetched, can't it be that someone is dressed in disguise?"
Xiao Bei shook his head and said, "It may not be big, Gu Fengxi and Liu Ru are both familiar with Qian Qianyi, if someone impersonates him, he will definitely notice the abnormality." And Qian Qianyi is a great Confucian in the world, and this temperament and talent cannot be pretended to be no matter what.
He saw that Lu Guanzhong was silent, and said: "I have read Wang Yangming's biography and know that many of Wang Yangming's disciples and grandchildren are the leaders of the Donglin Party. Then with his influence, it should not be difficult to turn into Qian Qianyi and blend into the Donglin Party. ”
"Master, your speculation is completely unreliable, it is pure blind speculation. And even if you say it, what can you do?" Lu Guanzhong said.
Xiao Bei furrowed his eyebrows, bowed his head and said nothing, doubts arose in his heart, and he faintly felt that Wang Yangming's move was inappropriate, but he couldn't find a clue.
――――――――――――
Qian Qianyi escorted Dolgon back to Shengjing with Lin Xizhen and his entourage, asked Dolgon for a single room, sat cross-legged on the kang, closed his eyes and recuperated.
His thoughts spanned infinite time and space, frozen somewhere in the universe.
This place is vast and boundless, and countless meteors shuttle back and forth here, leaving faint star traces and painting a magnificent picture.
Qian Qianyi's body turned into a white light, followed his thoughts, came here, and then showed his figure, which was Wang Yangming's appearance.
He stepped forward at will, and a circling nebula was born before him, and he bent down, picked and picked among the nebula, picked up a few stars, and placed them in the open space in front of him, and the stars shimmered slightly, and they were suspended and frozen.
After Wang Yangming finished this, he retreated slightly, and the nebula disappeared in an instant. The stars he had plucked out wriggled and squirmed, and faint human figures emerged from them, looking like mist.
An old man with big ears and a wide forehead said, "Wang Shouren, why did you call us out again?
Wang Yangming said: "Old Dan, it is precisely because of some confusion that this has attracted your inquiries. ”
Another tall Confucian said, "Brother Shouren, I think it's better to forget it." Even if you can set off a small wave, you can't stop the general trend of history, and in vain you will stir up chaos in the world and the people will suffer a lot. It's really not in line with the way of heaven. ”
Wang Yangming frowned and said: "Heavenly Dao, Sage Zhu, it's not that I'm arrogant, but it's hard to explain the way of heaven, who said that I am alone, and what I do is not in line with the way of heaven?"
Zhu Shengren said calmly: "I waited in the spiritual gate to look at the heavenly machine, and I have already seen the many endings of the Ming Dynasty, you can delay it for a few years at most, and its demise cannot be changed." Providence is already clear, so why do you bother?"
"Zhu Xi, you are still so stubborn. Wang Shouren's heart pays attention to freedom, and your "heavenly reason and human desire" will not work for him. Another Confucian student on the side said.
This person has a handsome face, and he is Kong Qiu.
Zhu Xi listened to Kong Qiu's words, and no longer argued, smiled faintly, and stepped aside.
Wang Yangming arched his hand to the three of them and said, "Everyone, as we discussed before, the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, chaotic, and about to perish. It would be simpler if it burned from top to bottom with the momentum of burning the plains, but in this way, our Han people would inevitably suffer from foreign rule and repeat the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, I tried my best to facilitate the meeting between Yang Sichang and Dolgon, with the intention of relying on the respective abilities of these two people, to promote peace between the two countries, and to continue the great Ming Qi, which may be able to turn around. ”
Kong Qiu nodded and said: "We have reached a consensus on this point before, but the next thing is the most important thing, there are countless official parties in the Ming Dynasty, even if Yang Sichang retrieves Huang Taiji's agreement to pay tribute, but to pass this tribute agreement at the court meeting, I am afraid it will be difficult to ascend to the sky." ”
Wang Yangming said: "I have also arranged this point, and some people will agree with it then, and it will depend on whether Chongzhen can withstand it." ”
He paused, his expression was solemn, and he said: "Zhang Xianzhong has now been possessed by the palace master of Jianxiao Palace, and he is like a bamboo in Sichuan. If it can't be stopped, Yang Sichang is only afraid that his life will be short, and as soon as Yang Sichang falls, the general trend will be gone, and there is no way to recover. What do you think about dealing with this person?"
Lao Dan had been silently on the sidelines, and suddenly said at this moment: "The bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and this Huaiyin Marquis matter is caused by me, so I should solve it." ”
After that, his body turned into a star, fell between Wang Yangming's eyebrows, and disappeared.
Wang Yangming was in a trance for a while, frowned, and said: "Old Dan, I am determined, you don't want to take the opportunity to give up." ”
The stars twinkled between his brows, but he did not answer. Kong Qiu said: "We are just the residual will of the spirit of all things, not even the remnant soul, how can we say that we want to give up? Lao Dan just wants to make up for his previous mistakes, so he gives up his own existence and incorporates into you, so that you can know the cause and effect, and help him fulfill his wish." ”
Wang Yangming nodded, waved to Kong Qiu and Zhu Xi, turned around and wanted to leave. Zhu Xi suddenly said: "Slow, Wang Shouren, since you want to help Yang Sichang, why do you want to provoke the three major sects to assassinate him?"
Wang Yangming sighed and said, "I will do this thing against the sky, and I will eventually have a back hand." The two young boys and girls, Hong Yan and Xiao Bei, are my followers, and my purpose is just to intertwine the fate of the two with the Ming Dynasty, and I can't predict what will happen in the end. With that, he stopped there, turned into a white light, and disappeared from here.
Kong Qiu and Zhu Xi glanced at each other, each was silent, and gradually faded away, turned into stars, and returned to the starry sky.
――――――――――
To the south of Chengdu, on the vast grassland of the Sichuan Plain, a huge blood-red army was standing in a strict formation, and Ling Hu Jiujian and Yang Tianchen each rode a horse and stood in front of the army.
Linghu Jiujian looked in the direction of Chengdu and said with emotion: "Master, the two of us can meet here again today, which can be regarded as a wish of the apprentices. ”
Yang Tianchen still frowned, and said: "Jiu'er, I have suffered you all these years, if I have to help you, I am afraid that I will have to wait a few more years to take this world." ”
Linghu Jiujian shook his head and said: "Master, it is my lifelong wish to help you win the Central Plains. ”
Yang Tianchen smiled bitterly and said: "The matter has come to this point, we can't turn back, become a king and defeat a villain, in one fell swoop." After saying that, he waved his sleeve robe, shook the wilderness, and said: "The whole army is attacking, and the target is Chengdu." ”
"Wait, Master, we have to wait a little longer. Linghu Jiujian stopped Yang Tianchen and said.
"What are you waiting for?" Yang Tianchen asked in confusion.
Linghu Jiujian said: "Master, if you attack Chengdu now, then the world will immediately boil and classify you as a traitor like Zhang Xianzhong." Therefore, we can only stand still, wait for Zhang Xianzhong to attack Chengdu first, and when the city is in danger, we will show up again in one fell swoop and defeat Zhang Xianzhong. At that time, Chengdu will be grateful to us, and you will take advantage of the situation to seize power and include Chengdu in your control, and then you can slowly plan for the world. ”
Yang Tianchen muttered: "Jiu'er, you and I will rebel after all, so why pretend? A manly man, for the sake of the common people, he will become the public enemy of the world, so why are you afraid?"
Linghu Jiujian said: "Master, you are a hero, and everyone expects it, if you directly raise troops, I believe that you can also seize the world." But your greatest asset is your name of unblemished righteousness. Therefore, you sent troops to fight for thieves this time, so as to attract the response of the Sichuan nobles and heroes. But if you declare an opposition to the Ming Dynasty at this moment, the situation will be reversed immediately, and not only will you be spurned, but you will also be doubly resisted. Therefore, the best plan for today is to assist Li Zhifa to ascend the throne, and then follow the example of Song Taizu's yellow robe. ”
Yang Tianchen heard this, his expression was serious, and he bowed slightly.
Linghu Jiujian continued: "If you attack Chengdu, your reputation will be damaged, and if you are like a yellow robe, you will not be so justifiable, and at the same time, it will also arouse Li Zhifa's suspicion. ”
Yang Tianchen looked up to the sky and sighed, "Then it depends on what you say." Set up camp on the spot and wait for Zhang Xianzhong to come. ”
So Yang Tianchen gave the order and ordered all his soldiers to camp in place, look at Chengdu from a distance, wait for changes, and wait for the opportunity to move.
Yang Tianchen's soldiers numbered about 30,000, of which 12,000 were Blood Dragon Gate palace guards and armor guards, and 10,000 were disciples of the Rulai Dojo and affiliated sects. There are also 8,000 people who came to Yang Tianchen to join Yang Tianchen. Although Yang Tianchen was not born in the army, he was quite capable of managing the army, and he was well-known, so in just one month, this group of mixed troops had been put in order and had the demeanor of a strong army. Except for the lack of actual combat experience, it is almost no different from the left army. In addition, these soldiers are all equipped with martial arts, so their combat effectiveness is good, and they can compete with the impermanent army.
More importantly, the Blood Dragon Sect has a deep foundation, and there are about hundreds of thousands of sect members in the world, so there is no danger of short-term soldiers. In addition, Li Zhifa's financial and material support also guarantees military salaries. The idea of seizing the world is by no means a joke.
Yang Tianchen led the army to wait for a week, and one day spies came to report that there were countless people in the north of Chengdu marching towards Chengdu. Although they were all unarmed, they all looked fanatical, as if they were evil.
When Yang Tianchen heard this, he was suspicious, and immediately went out of the camp with Linghu Jiujian and came to a high mountain near Chengdu to look. Sure enough, I saw a dense crowd of people migrating from afar, numbering about 100,000 people.
Behind the crowd, a black and white army was watching, waiting at the side. (To be continued.) )
