Master Dao'an looked calm and said calmly: "If the King of Heaven really wants to conquer the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is better to station in Luoyang, send envoys to deliver the letter, and let the army follow behind, forcing the Eastern Jin Dynasty to surrender. If they are stubborn, then
Raise an army to fight against it, so that you don’t have to go to Jianghuai in person, and war can be avoided. If this can be done, I would like to thank you for your great kindness on behalf of the millions of people living in Jianghuai!"
Fu Jian shook his head: "These are military matters. Master is compassionate and merciful. I know it, but I won't bother you to express your opinions on these military matters. I am very busy these days, and I have to prepare for the South China Sea.
Regarding the expedition, today’s explanation will be temporarily suspended. When I return from the next expedition to Gunan, I will definitely listen to the master’s teachings!”
As he spoke, he stood up directly from the walking chariot, jumped off the side, and saluted Master Dao'an: "Pass the decree to send the master back to the temple with this walking chariot. There must be no mistake, and he will return to the palace alone."
!”
Half an hour later, Fu Jian was sitting in Mrs. Zhang's bedroom with a sad expression. He sat on the edge of the bed, bowed his head and said nothing.
Mrs. Zhang sighed softly, moved an embroidered pier, and sat next to Fu Jian. Her red lips opened slightly: "King of Heaven, what's wrong with you? Today you were supposed to listen to Master Dao'an's explanation of Dharma and Zen.
At that time, I came to my concubine’s place and didn’t say anything after I came. Is there something wrong?”
Fu Jian closed his eyes and simply lay back on the bed: "This must have been done by Ah Rong and the others. They actually let Daoan, a monk, come to remonstrate. It's too much! It's too much!"
Mrs. Zhang felt enlightened, put down the bowl of white fungus soup in her hand, and looked at Fu Jian: "Is it about the Southern Expedition again? King of Heaven, have you really made up your mind?"
Fu Jian opened his eyes, looked at Mrs. Zhang, and said calmly: "Back then, Gu sent troops to destroy your brother's Liang Kingdom, and then you entered Gu's harem. This time Gu is going to destroy another Han country.
Yes, are you unhappy?"
Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly: "With the conquest of the Heavenly King, I have the blessing of this life. I can serve the Heavenly King. How can I be unhappy? It's just..."
At this point, she hesitated. The smile that was gradually blooming on Fu Jian's face suddenly disappeared. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Before I make up my mind, all
Everyone can speak, this is what I have announced publicly, let me see what you can say."
Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth, stood up, knelt in front of Fu Jian, kowtowed first, then straightened up, and said seriously: "I heard that the creation of all things in heaven and earth, and the rule of the Holy King in the world, must be done naturally.
Therefore, you must not forcefully violate the laws of heaven. If you comply with the laws of heaven, you will be successful and conquer all battles!"
"In the past, the Yellow Emperor obeyed oxen and rode horses because of his nature; Dayu controlled the floods, dredged the nine rivers and blocked the nine rivers, because of his power; Hou Ji sown hundreds of grains and brought crops to the earth, because of his time; Shang Tang,
King Wu of Zhou led his troops to attack Xia Jie and Shang Tang, because of the hearts of all the people in the world!"
"So there is a reason for success and there is no reason for failure. These are the experiences and lessons of history. Most of the people in power today say that Jin cannot be conquered. Even Master Dao'an said so. I don't know that your Majesty is attacking Jin."
Why is that?!"
Fu Jian's eyes were shining. This talented Han woman from Liangzhou was eloquent in quoting scriptures, and the principles were so natural and proficient. He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Continue talking."
Mrs. Zhang nodded and continued: "It is said in the Book of Books that Heaven is wise and the people are wise. Heaven still has to respond to the desires of the people, let alone the monarch on earth. I also heard that when a king sets out to teach, he must go up to respond to the timing of Heaven.
, there will be all kinds of auspicious omens in response to the people's hearts. On the contrary, if you start without a name and do things in reverse, God will not bless you."
"If you don't trust people's hearts, please look at the weather. The proverb goes: 'When the chicken crows at night, it is not good for the army; when the dogs howl, the palace will be empty; when the troops are in chaos, the horse will be frightened, and the army will not return after being defeated.' Since autumn and winter.
, the chickens crow at night, the dogs howl, the stable horses are frightened, and the weapons in the arsenal make automatic noises, these are not auspicious signs of a military expedition. I hope the king of heaven will see clearly!"
When she said this, tears were already shining in her beautiful eyes, and she almost burst into tears. She choked and said: "King of Heaven, please, please take this as a wife's advice to her husband. I am really, really
I'm afraid that you will, will..."
Fu Jian slowly stood up and looked down at Mrs. Zhang: "Are you afraid that I will fail in my southern expedition and never return? The courtiers have said this many times, if I believe it.
These, back then, we would not have conquered Yan or Liang! Even when we attacked and destroyed your Liang Kingdom, these ministers would use various excuses to evade and refute. If you had believed in them, would you be here now?"
Mrs. Zhang was speechless and sighed quietly: "I really, really don't want you to be in any danger. Isn't this a good thing in Chang'an?"
Fu Jian said coldly: "This military matter has always been decided by men, not women. I am very grateful for your concern for me, but you have not convinced me, so don't talk about it again in the future!"
As he spoke, without looking at Mrs. Zhang, he stood up and walked out. A childish voice came from the side: "Father, father!"
Fu Jian's heart moved, and he looked at the pillar on one side, and the face of a six or seven-year-old boy appeared behind him. It was Fu Shen, his youngest son with Mrs. Zhang.
Fu Jian laughed, took a few steps forward, picked up his little son, and kissed his rosy little son: "Xun'er, my father's kingdom is so busy these days that I don't have time to come see you. I'm so busy."
After this time, how about I take you on a trip to Jiankang?!"
Fu Shen smiled slightly: "My child has been studying the principles in poetry and books these days according to the instructions of my father. I have some questions and want to ask my father for advice. I wonder if my father can answer my questions?"
Fu Jian was slightly startled, then smiled and put down Fu Shen, sitting cross-legged in front of him: "Good, I actually learned to take the initiative to ask my father. That's good. Tell me, what's the problem?"
Fu Shen glanced at Mrs. Zhang, looked directly into Fu Jian's eyes, and said sternly: "I heard that governing a country depends on wise people. As a monarch, you should also listen to the opinions of wise people. Only with wise people can the country prosper. No need to
If there are virtuous people, the country will decline, is that so?"
Fu Jian nodded: "Yes, that's the truth."
Fu Shen continued to ask: "Then I would like to ask Duke Yang Ping, as well as Xie An and Huan Chong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, are they wise men?"
Fu Jian's expression changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "They are all ministers of the country, and of course they are wise men."
