Chapter 138 (Today's second update, please smash the monthly pass, it's about to be added)
After Hong's apprenticeship, Zhang Zixing left Kong Xuan alone.
Zhang Zixing did not hide it, and told everything that happened after Kong Xuan left, and Kong Xuan's face gradually became solemn when he heard it.
"Brother Huang, right now I am in the light, the enemy is in the dark, especially if there are saints to attack, there is no way to defend it," Kong Xuanshen knew the art of war, and the key was broken in just a few words, "If you blindly defend passively, your situation will only become more and more bad." ”
Zhang Zixing frowned: "I can't help it, as the Son of Heaven, I sit in Chaoge, and now the killing and robbery is coming, I am the target of everyone, even if there are natural disasters and conspiracy, I can only block it with soldiers, and the water will cover it." ”
Kong Xuan thought for a while and said, "From the point of view of the foolish brother, the edge of the imperial brother has been too revealing recently. Although the imperial brother also used a lot of scheming in these matters, from the perspective of the overall situation, it was a miscalculation. The more you settle those things satisfactorily, the more unwilling the plotters are to fail, so calamities ensue and the royal brother is exhausted to deal with them. ”
Kong Xuan, as an outsider, woke up the dreamer in one sentence: It is true that Zhang Zixing coped with these incidents very well, and he also put a lot of effort into sowing discord, and achieved some results, but as a mortal emperor, these things are still too "perfect" to solve. For example, if the matter of the great drought in the world is solved by Ying Long, Haotian God will definitely not give up, and after the failure of the Nuwa plan to support the usurper of the clan, there will be another incident, and he, the Son of Heaven, is like a target, erected in a fixed position, bearing arrows from all directions.
Though he had his own calculations, the ones he calculated were not dead creatures and were at his mercy, and the enemies whom he did not consider were also plotting against him, both openly and secretly. It's like an interactive online game world where everyone is the main character, rather than a single-player game where the rest of the people are NPCs around a certain protagonist. When you are calculating others. Others are also calculating you, and when you are developing and progressing, others will also change. How can we gain an opportunity and create hope in such a complicated situation? Zhang Zixing could not help but fall into deep thought.
After a while, Kong Xuan spoke: "Brother Huang, do you still remember the book of soldiers you gave me? There is a sentence in it: 'If you can, you can't, and if you are strong, you can't'. ”
Zhang Zixing was shocked. I vaguely understood what Kong Xuan meant: as far as the metaphor of the target is concerned, his "target" can either bounce back the arrows that come from it, or it is extremely strong and the arrows are difficult to penetrate, but the more this is the case, the more powerful the archers will shoot arrows vigorously until they succeed in penetrating him. If he is a bad target with extremely low difficulty, the shooters will lose interest after shooting a few arrows, and will naturally move the target to other targets.
Kong Xuan's "showing weakness" is a good way, but Zhang Zixing thinks deeper. Not only does he want to be an unobtrusive target, but he also wants to be a shooter who aims at others.
Kong Xuan saw that he was in deep thought. Knowing that he couldn't help much, it was inconvenient to bother, so he quietly retreated.
There is also a sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War: "Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and those who can win due to changes in the enemy are called gods". Instead of being hit on the ground.
That's the point. In the recent altar rebellion, he used the method of turning light into darkness, and in the end, he turned the rebels into a net. even dragged his henchman Ji Chang into troubled waters.
Although he is about to face the ground is a disparity in strength with the immortals and saints. But there are lessons to be learned from the success of this approach.
Zhang Zixing couldn't help but sigh that there was no good military advisor around him, and Kong Xuan was handsome. Not only is he strong, but he is also proficient in strategy, but he is not able to do it if he wants to be a strategist specializing in calculations; Female and Ying Long are fierce generals who charge into battle, and they can't match the military advisor; Shang Qingjun's IQ may be able to meet the requirements, but intelligence alone is far from enough, and the tight time and her female identity are destined to be impossible to travel the world to increase experience and accumulate experience, so she is also not competent. There are a lot of talents in governing the country, and they are strategizing, but they can't find any suitable candidates to win the world, and they really want to make one, I'm afraid that only the seven-tricked and exquisite Yabi can do it.
If it is reborn in the Three Kingdoms period, there will be no outstanding strategists, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Guo Jia, Pang Tong...... It can be regarded as N, in the Three Kingdoms, there are few immortals in the legend, and most of them are still pretending to be gods;
Thinking of Sima Yi's name, Zhang Zixing suddenly remembered a famous story. During the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Wei Ming of Wei died, and Cao Fang, who succeeded to the throne, was only eight years old, and the government was jointly controlled by the imperial lieutenant Sima Yi and the general Cao Shuang. Sima Yi knew that Cao Shuang was powerful, so he said that he was sick and no longer went to the court, Cao Shuang sent his cronies Li Sheng to Sima's house to listen to the truth, but Sima Yi showed his weakness, and pretended to be in the face of his life, Cao Shuang learned the news, he was overjoyed and relaxed his vigilance against Sima Yi, but soon after, Sima Yi took advantage of Cao Shuang's only three brothers to escort Cao Fang, the son of heaven, to the north of Jiyang City to sweep the tomb, mobilized soldiers and horses, quickly occupied the Cao barracks, and entered the palace to coerce the Queen Mother, counting Cao Shuang's sins, and demanding that he be deposed. The Queen Mother had no choice but to agree. Sima Yi sent people to occupy the arsenal again, and when Cao Shuang heard the news and returned to the city, the general trend was gone. Sima Yi killed Cao Shuang's family on the charge of usurpation, and finally took over the power alone, and the Cao Wei regime has been in name only.
This scheme is called "Fake Idiocy and Not Crazy", and it is one of the 36 schemes.
Inspired by this plan, Zhang Zixing's thinking suddenly became clearer, and the more he thought about it, the smoother it became, and he already had a more detailed plan for future actions, but the risks to be taken in this plan were not small.
According to what Fu Xi said, killing and robbery is the re-establishment of an order in the way of heaven, and it is absolutely impossible to avoid it, even if the world is really peaceful, it will inevitably set off a monstrous disaster, induce a war of immortals, and finally the dead will be crowned gods, and the rules will be relisted.
In this case, then the war of the Terrans is just a general environment provided for this killing, and in the end, whoever wins the battle of the Terrans will have no substantial impact on the entire killing, even if the Great Shang is not replaced by the Western Zhou, as long as the killing and robbery is completed, according to
God decides. Therefore, he, the "king of the ring", is not destined to be a loser.
Among some immortals, "Allah is born." The prophecy of "Shang annihilation of Zhou Xing" is likely to have two reasons: first, the fortunes of the Great Shang Dynasty are declining, and the fortune of the Western Zhou Dynasty is booming, so they are afraid that they will replace it; second, under the pretext of the rise and replacement of dynasties, they will justifiably wage war in the name so that the immortals can cope with the disaster.
If according to Fuxi's statement. In the end, it is difficult to say who will die, if the big business can survive the most difficult stage, it is not impossible for the country's fortunes to decline and prosper, the key is to see how to make a difference in this killing.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? Zhang Zixing secretly gritted his teeth and made up his mind in his heart.
That night, Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, and Bigan were secretly summoned into the palace.
In this matter, Jiang Shang, the acting minister, and the two doctors, Zhao Qi and Mei Bo, were still inspecting the implementation of the new policy in various places, so Shang Rong reluctantly managed some affairs with a "sick body".
Zhang Zixing politely invited the three of them to sit down. The first sentence made the three old courtiers stunned: "Three Aiqing, do you believe in widows?"
Wen Zhong said: "Your Majesty why did you say this. You are the king, and we are the ministers, how can you not believe Your Majesty?"
"What if the widow is unscrupulous and willful?"
Shang Rong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't laugh, it's not an old minister's words, with Your Majesty's talent, even among the emperors of my Great Shang Dynasty, it can be regarded as a rare hero, how can it be like that?"
"It's not that the widow is willing to be mediocre, but the widow has to be mediocre...... Zhang Zixing turned his gaze to Wen Zhong: "Taishi is a member of the sect, do you know about the murder and robbery?"
Wen Zhong's face was surprised: "The old minister has heard that the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit mentioned this matter. Many Taoist friends also obeyed the instructions of the sage. Secluded in the mountains, closed doors. This matter is relatively secret, where did Your Majesty know about it?"
"The widow has inherited the destiny of heaven, and he has known it for a long time...... The reason why the widow changed the world and freed the slaves.
I just want to avoid this killing. Unexpectedly, it was just a futile plan," Zhang Zixing sighed: "Old lady...... Did the Lingshi ever say that? You can't meet a 'never' word in your life?"
Wen Zhong was shocked: "The old minister was enlightened at that time, and when he worshipped Our Lady of Jinling as his teacher in Biyou Palace, he studied art for fifty years. My master ordered me to go down the mountain to make soup, and before leaving, I asked the teacher, 'How is the disciple going?' My master said, 'You will never be able to lose a word in your life.' How did Your Majesty know that the old minister was so secret?"
Zhang Zixing sighed and said: "Master, the widow is a little calculating, and he can also know some secret things. The killing and robbery have started, and we are all the ones who should be robbed, even if your master is the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stay out of the matter......"
Wen Zhong was shocked, but he also knew that the words of the Son of Heaven were by no means fabricated, but the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit was one of the four great disciples of the Sect Interception Saint, if even she was involved in the murder, then wouldn't the rest of the Daoists ......
In this way, the world is in turmoil, but I am afraid that the time is not far off, Wen Zhong understood the reason why the Son of Heaven said earlier that "I have to be mediocre", and I couldn't help but show a cautious look on my face.
"Taishi, no matter what the situation will be in the future, please be sure to firmly control the military power of the Great Shang, and the general soldiers of all passes must be careful and vigilant, and they must not lose their combat effectiveness due to some government affairs. The widow will send someone to provide supplies to the army, so as not to fluctuate the morale of the army. ”
The power comes out of the barrel of the gun, no matter what, the military power must be grasped in the hands, which the original king seems to attach great importance to, so although he is mediocre, the military has quite a lot of loyal people, especially the general soldiers guarding the passes, most of them are fighting to the death, and finally a wisp of loyal soul is returned to the Fengshentai.
Wen Zhong knew the importance of this matter, and when he answered the order, Shang Rong and Bi Gan didn't understand anything about killing and robbing, but they just heard that the Son of Heaven seemed to have some hidden intentions.
"The matter under discussion today is very secretive, and you must keep it a secret. Zhang Zixing said to the two: "If the widow is good, soon there will be a big chaos in the court, the two ministers are the national abbot, the second is the uncle Wang, and they are the two prime ministers of my big business, and the widow has been relying on the two of you as arms, and the disaster is approaching, and most of the ministers in the court and the central government are difficult to protect themselves, please avoid it as soon as possible." ”
Shang Rong got up and laughed and said: "Circumvent? Your Majesty thinks that your subordinates are old and useless? If Your Majesty does not give up, the old ministers are willing to spill all their blood into the big trading society, although they die without regrets!"
"The old prime minister is a minister who entrusts the lonely, the hard work is high, and the old man is stronger," Zhang Zixing said busily: "The widow will dislike Shang Qing? This move is to be reused for you, but the widow intends to show ignorance, if the old prime minister insists, I am afraid that this plan will not work, if the old prime minister retreats to the shadows, it will have the effect of a surprise soldier." ”
Shang Rong is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, with a shrewd mind and experience, and he faintly realized something at the moment, so he didn't be stubborn anymore, just silent.
Bi Gansheng has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and he can understand it at one point, but he denied Zhang Zixing's persuasion: "I am Uncle Wang, as a clan relative, and I am deeply respected by His Majesty, how can I escape? ”
Zhang Zixing remembered the scene of Bigan sacrificing himself to protect the altar during the altar rebellion that day, and couldn't help but be moved: "Uncle Wang, you are the pillar of the country, how can you be in danger......?
Bigan shook his head and said: "Please forgive the ministers for their wild speculation, Your Majesty is only afraid that you want to use a dangerous strategy, if the ministers leave, won't Your Majesty fight alone? ”
Zhang Zixing gritted his teeth and asked, "If one day, Uncle Wang will accept that for no reason...... What about the pain of disemboweling your heart?"
Bigan didn't care, and smiled lightly: "As long as Your Majesty's plan succeeds, Bigan will not hesitate to die!"
Zhang Zixing's heart was agitated, and he felt that his blood was surging, and he couldn't help but think of the poems of Lin Zexu, a patriotic minister in the Qing Dynasty-He has lived and died for the country, and he has avoided it because of misfortune and fortune!
Zhang Zixing secretly decided: The king treats me as a countryman, and I will also repay the king as a countryman.
After a long discussion, the three ministers left the palace.
"After a while, I'm afraid I'm going to be a veritable faint king......" Zhang Zixing looked at the shining stars in the sky, and took a deep breath, Tianxixing, will you be my final destination?
