Chapter 1115 Fox Tail
"lunar!"
Taixue Palace, East Courtyard.
Emperor Shang heard the name mentioned by the Confucian leader, and it was difficult to sort out his thoughts for a while.
Why Taiyin?
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of Taiyin?"
Confucius saw Emperor Shang's reaction and continued to ask without giving him time to think.
Emperor Shang came back to his senses, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and said, "The books in the palace mentioned this name."
"He's lying."
In the Buyi Palace, Li Ziye's eyes turned cold and he immediately said, "The names Taiyuan, Taixuan, and Taishang are mentioned in the palace books, but Taiyin is not mentioned."
This old guy's fox tail finally came out.
Imperial Palace, Tingyuxuan.
In the room, the sound of burning charcoal fire crackled.
Mu Wenqing sat in front of the brazier, looking at the broken ancient books in his hands, repairing them and organizing them very carefully.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has left the palace." Hibiscus said softly from the side.
"Brother Huang can't sit still."
Mu Wenqing put down the fragment in his hand and said calmly, "The imperial power has always been controlled by the Confucian sect. This is indeed something that no emperor can tolerate."
"This servant doesn't understand. The Confucian sect is not involved in court affairs, so why can't Your Majesty tolerate them?" Mu Jin asked puzzledly.
"How can I allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed?"
Mu Wenqing picked up another volume of ancient books, flipped through a few pages, and said, "Although the Confucian sect is not involved in court affairs, the existence of the Confucian sect is beyond the imperial power. The imperial power has scruples about anything that involves the Confucian sect.
Brother Emperor, how can you tolerate this?"
"However, as long as the Confucian leader is alive, the great merchants will have faith."
Mu Jin said in a condensed voice, "The scholars of Tianyu Palace have never dared to set foot in the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty because of the intimidation of the Confucian leader."
"This is what the emperor hates the most."
Mu Wenqing flipped through the ancient books in his hand and responded, "The royal family is afraid of the Confucian sect, but they have to tolerate the existence of the Confucian sect. What an insult to the emperor's dignity."
"Then why did Your Majesty leave the palace this time?" Mu Jin asked doubtfully.
"To test the truth and falsehood of the Confucian leader."
Mu Wenqing replied, "On the one hand, we are preparing to suppress the Confucian sect. On the other hand, we are also planning on how to deal with the scholar after the death of the Confucian leader."
"It's really a contradiction." Hibiscus sighed with emotion.
"The human heart is full of contradictions, let alone the heart of an emperor."
Mu Wenqing closed the scroll in his hand, put it on the table, and said, "My royal brother is probably the one who is most worried about the death of the Confucian leader, and also the one who hopes the death of the Confucian leader the most."
"Your Majesty, if the Confucian leader dies, will the world be in chaos?" Hibiscus asked worriedly.
"meeting."
Mu Wenqing nodded and said, "When the saint ascends to heaven, all the demons and demons in the world will take the opportunity to come out and cause chaos. However, the world will not slow down its progress without anyone. By then, new people of destiny will come out to calm the chaos."
"Is the prince talking about the third young master of the Li family?" Mu Jin asked.
"Um."
Mu Wenqing took the fire tongs, put a few pieces of charcoal into the brazier, and said, "The person the Confucian leader likes can't be wrong, and I also believe in my own vision."
"This slave has never noticed what's special about him."
Mu Jin said softly, "Moreover, many times, he acts and speaks strangely and without any rules."
"It's not strange, but the information he has is far better than yours, so you only understand it half-understood."
Mu Wenqing put down the tongs, put his hands on the brazier to roast them, and said, "For example, the five names he asked about are Taiyuan, Taixuan, Taishang, Taiyin, and Taihuang. If you don't understand the Taoist sect thousands of years ago, you won't know how to do it.
I don’t know what he is asking.”
"Your Majesty, this servant is confused as to why he asked Your Majesty for these five names." Mu Jin asked in a solemn voice.
"It's very simple. He has an informant in the palace. He knows that the king can have access to the books in the palace."
Mu Wenqing replied, "In that case, why not make good use of this king as a source of information."
"Taiyuan, Taixuan, Taishang, I have heard the prince mention it."
Mu Jin stretched out her hand to organize the books on the table and said, "However, these two names, Taiyin and Taihuang, have never been heard of by this servant."
"It's normal. It's impossible for people who have lived for thousands of years to have records in all the books in the palace."
Mu Wenqing said calmly, "Moreover, it is unknown whether Taiyin and Taihuang really exist. It is also possible that these two names were made up by the Li family's heirs to confuse and test this king."
It was even more difficult to distinguish between reality and reality just now. The scheming of the legitimate son of the Li family was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"Making it up?"
Hearing this, Mu Jin looked stunned and said in disbelief, "The prince is so frank with him, can he still not trust the prince?"
"There is no sudden trust in the world."
Mu Wenqing smiled and responded, "Those who trust others easily will die miserably in the end. As the saying goes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Trust is slowed by constant doubts.
Trust that is built slowly and gained easily is the least trustworthy."
Hibiscus seemed to understand, but it was really difficult to digest these calculations of people's minds.
At the same time, Taixue Palace, East Campus.
Confucius' eyes narrowed slightly after hearing the reminder from the Buyi Prince's Mansion.
The Shang Emperor is lying.
If the name Taiyin was not mentioned in the palace collection, then the Shang Emperor should not have known Taiyin.
After all, if people and events from thousands of years ago are not recorded in ancient books, future generations should not know about them.
The most likely explanation is that Emperor Shang heard other people mention the name Taiyin.
"Confucian leader, Taishang is most likely in the palace."
In the room of the Buyi Prince's Mansion, Li Ziye looked in the direction of Taixue Palace and said calmly, "If Bai Wangyu and I hadn't seen Taiyin with our own eyes in the underworld, we wouldn't know Taiyin at all, and there are no classics in later generations.
The existence of Taiyin has been recorded, so the Shang Emperor should never know about this person."
At this point, Li Ziye paused and said in a deep voice, "If Emperor Shang has never heard of the name Taiyin, there is no need to lie. There is something fishy about this matter. Confucian Master, please confirm it again."
Behind, Xiao Xiao was confused after hearing what the former said.
Everything about Taishang and Taiyin is all a mess.
Taixue Palace, East Courtyard.
Confucius heard the reminder from the boy from the Li family, looked at the Shang Emperor in front of him, and said calmly, "Taiyuan once said that if you want to break the disaster of the underworld, you must find the taiyin. Before that, I had sent a disciple to go to the underworld."
Unfortunately, this person has not been found, so I plan to send someone from the Confucian sect to go there in a few days, and must find Taiyin to solve the disaster of the underworld."
After speaking, Confucius reminded, "Your Majesty, it's your turn."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Shang suppressed his thoughts and dropped a white piece.
However, the fierce offensive just now has obviously weakened a lot.
Confucius watched the changes in the chess game and became more and more sure of his guess.
If the mind is confused, the game will be chaotic.
The little guy's inference was correct, Emperor Shang must know Taiyin.
