Chapter 319 If the world is good, how can the people rebel?
Entering the house, Ying Chengyu took off his soaked clothes, wiped the rain off his body with a towel, and put on dry clothes.
Guiguzi took off his raincoat, put down his umbrella, lit candles consciously, and closed the doors and windows to prevent any moisture from getting in.
Raindrops the size of soybeans hit the wooden windows and doors, crackling like exploding beans.
Inside the house, orange flames were bright.
Ying Chengyu and Gui Guzi sat on opposite sides of the table, which was empty.
"Although your two words are good, they are a bit nondescript. The one who dominates the world is the Qin State where your Majesty is located. All the storms and storms are caused by the cavalry of the Qin State. The wind and rain falling on Qi, Han, Yan, and Wei are desolate things.
You need to take shelter and hold an umbrella. If it falls on you..."
Guiguzi stopped talking and did not continue.
If he hadn't been wearing a raincoat and holding an umbrella today, he would have felt that Ying Chengyu was trying to point him out. Now he would not refute at all, but would only applaud what Ying Chengyu said.
"I think it's okay. The prince didn't understand the subtle meaning of it. He still needs to study more carefully."
Guiguzi lived for hundreds of years, met Mozi, Fan Li, Zhuangzi and other famous people, and interacted with them on equal terms. He taught disciples Pang Juan, Sun Bin, Su Qin and Zhang Yi who stirred up the world.
No matter where he went, some people would say that he had a heart of stone, or some would despise him as a person. But except for Ying Chenglong, no one had ever said that Gui Guzi was not very knowledgeable.
Guiguzi was questioned and did not refute. He took out the map he had laid out once in the morning and laid it on the table.
"Your Majesty, please send people to the Qi region to kill Chongtongzi to bring peace to the world."
After this heavy downpour, Guiguzi believed that Ying Chengyu should have believed what he said.
"There's no rush at this time."
Ying Chengyu thought for a moment, then went down to the ground and picked up the oil-paper umbrella that Guiguzi had brought.
Amidst the patter of rain, Gui Guzi frowned, not sure what Ying Chengyu was going to do.
"What do you want to do, Your Majesty?"
Ying Chengyu responded while walking out.
"We agreed to eat and chat with the prince. We don't have any wine or meat at the moment, so I'll go to the kitchen and get some."
"Your Majesty!"
There was a hint of anger in Guiguzi's voice that anyone with ears could hear.
What time is this now? It is the time to discuss world affairs and discuss killing Chong Tongzi.
Fine wine and delicious food are just words. Having them is the best. If you don't have them, it won't be a waste of time. It's not worth going out of your way to find.
"Wait a moment, my lord, I am not a man who keeps his word. I will come back as soon as I go."
The moment the door opened, cold wind and drizzle sneaked in from the door. The candle swayed a few times in fear and almost went out. Guiguzi held the candle with one hand to block the wind and rain, feeling extremely speechless.
But it was useless to be speechless now. Ying Chengyu had already rushed out with an oil-paper umbrella to look for fine wine and delicious food.
Gui Guzi frowned and couldn't figure out why Ying Chengyu didn't agree with what he said.
At such a critical juncture, isn't it the most obvious rejection to say that we are going out to find some unimportant food and drinks? Isn't it just to make him think about why this matter is unacceptable?
He pushed open the window slightly, and the sound of big beads falling onto the jade plate suddenly amplified countless times.
Pa~
He let go and let the window close freely. Wang Chan's brows did not relax as the window closed.
"The wind and rain are coming, your Majesty should know that what I said is true. Why do you disagree with what I say? What is the problem?"
After thinking about it for less than half a cup of tea, Wang Chan, who had learned the word "子" very early, already had the answer.
Soon after, only three drops of wax fell from the candle, and the door made a soft sound.
The candles were swaying, the rain suddenly became louder, and Ying Chengyu came back with wine and meat.
On the table, there is a small bronze cauldron with a tiger carved on it. There is a weak flame under it. There is water in the cauldron and a wine bottle in the water.
Ying Chengyu placed the small cauldron in the middle of the table, then placed the delicacies in a circle around the small cauldron, and sat down with a smile on his face.
Gui Guzi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ying Cheng's gourd. He picked up the wine bottle and poured it himself. Drinking it would activate blood circulation and warm his no longer strong body.
It rained so heavily that even though he was wearing a raincoat and holding an oil-paper umbrella, he was still quite wet.
There were no clothes he could change here, and the moisture penetrated from his clothes into his flesh. He was indeed a little cold.
"Why."
Ying Chengyu blocked Wang Chan's hand from taking the wine bottle and said with a smile:
"Wait a moment, Your Majesty. This wine is a bit cold. Drink it after it is warmed, and the effect of removing the cold will be very good. It is not a good thing to be impatient."
"Your Majesty is using wine as a metaphor to say that I am impatient and am too impatient to kill Chong Tongzi."
The old man spoke slowly and in a declarative tone. He was completely convinced of his own judgment.
Both of them have been foxes for thousands of years, and they will not play nonsense or do meaningless things at this time.
"What do you think, your Majesty? Do you want to gather the anti-Qin forces in the body of Chongtongzi, so as to wipe them all out and avoid future troubles? Your Majesty offered wax sacrifices to rebel against heaven. Now if the news of Chongtongzi's birth is spread to the world,
Proclaim it widely with the mandate of heaven.
"It would be a wonderful move for Your Majesty to kill Chong Tongzi when everyone is watching. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, they will still be vulnerable to Your Majesty's pistol.
"But Your Majesty, what Zen wants to remind you is that the pistol in your arms can be called a magical weapon, but you are not a god, and you will die. Removing others when they are still young will benefit the small and safe. Eliminate others when the roc spreads its wings.
The profit is huge and unstable."
This is the only reason Guiguzi can think of why Ying Chengyu doesn't want to kill Zhongtongzi. Only this possibility is in line with his interests. Yingchengyu feels that killing Zhongtongzi now is of little benefit.
Ying Chengyu reached out and touched the wine bottle, checked the temperature, picked it up personally, and poured it into the Guiguzi wine glass.
"Fine wine is warm but not hot. Drinking it at this time will relax your muscles and activate your blood circulation without scalding your esophagus. It's just right."
Guiguzi glanced at his master, not understanding what he was doing, but it was true that he felt cold and uncomfortable, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
When the warm wine enters the stomach, it tastes mellow but not harsh on the throat. It is a wine that Guiguzi has never drunk before.
"How about it?"
Ying Chengqiao asked with a smile.
"Whatever your Majesty wants is fine. If that's the case, you need to think more about it..."
Ying Chengxuan pointed at the wine glass with one or two drops of remaining wine in Guiguzi's hand.
"I'm talking about wine, how about wine?"
Guiguzi took a breath, closed his eyes, then quickly opened them, and nodded expressionlessly.
"Very good."
The anger in Gui Guzi's heart burned a little, but he didn't dare to blaze when facing his master. He originally thought that Ying Chengyu was asking about his thoughts on killing Chong Tongzi later, but he didn't expect that he was asking about wine!
At this time, what good person would ask how the wine was?
"Hasn't the prince drank?"
"Never drank."
"This is the wine I brewed from Korean specialty millet, and the prince was the second person to drink it. This wine is not strong, but mellow, delicious, and not overpowering..."
Guiguzi could continue to listen to Ying Chengyu, but he didn't want to listen anymore.
These words have nothing to do with what we are talking about today. No matter how you hear them, they are just talking about wine. Gui Guzi is busy with many things every day. If he had to prove the Yin and Yang technique to Ying Chengyu today, he would have taken a rest by now.
He didn't want to waste time on such meaningless things, so he questioned:
"Your Majesty, you just want to have a drink with Zen today?"
Ying Chengyu stopped talking, and slowly gave Guiguzi another glass of wine, making a gesture to persuade him to drink, and said with a smile:
"The prince has forgotten again, and being impatient is not a good thing."
Gui Guzi drank the second glass of wine in one gulp, and Ying Chengyu continued to be interrupted by Gui Guzi without finishing his words.
"The wine of the King of Chu and the wine of the Hu State of Zhao are both famous for their strong liquor, but the distilled liquor I brew is many times stronger than these two. But is distilled liquor the strongest liquor? No.
"As technology develops and improves, the alcohol concentration will become higher and higher. In the future, there will be distilled wine stronger than mine. But this era should not be seen.
"Since Lie cannot be improved, then we should find another way, just like this Korean millet rice wine, which has a mellow taste..."
This time, Ying Chengyu still didn't finish speaking, and Guiguzi interrupted Ying Chengyu for the second time.
He stood up, his displeasure clearly written on his face. The old man felt insulted and clasped his fists.
"If your Majesty wants to talk about wine, please forgive me for not accompanying you."
"Hahaha, if I were a prince, I would say sorry at this time for sitting down at the table in the middle of the night and not asking the common people about bad wine."
"Your Majesty, poetry is a small way. No matter how well you recite it, it is just useless moaning. What's more, what you are reciting is a self-created poem, which is even more useless. Please put your mind on the main road."
Gui Guzi said with a cold face, worrying that he would not talk about the true meaning of the poem, but he still saved face for Ying Chengyu.
"Then, let's say something useful."
Ying Chengyu looked serious and pointed at the map on the desk.
"Why does the prince want me to kill Chong Tongzi? Is it because he will be a big trouble to Qin in the future?"
"Your Majesty still doubts that my words are accurate." Gui Guzi, who felt he was not trusted, lowered his head in silence for a moment and said, "Wang Chan originally thought that the heavy rain tonight would be enough to let your Majesty know that I am not an alarmist."
"Prince, look into my eyes."
Gui Guzi looked up and saw that there was no doubt in Ying Chengyu's eyes.
"I completely trust the prince's judgment. I just want to know if the prince wants to kill Chong Tongzi just because he will be a serious problem for Qin in the future?"
Guiguzi asked:
"Isn't this enough?"
These five words have definitely answered Ying Chengyu's question.
"not enough!"
Ying Chengyu said in a deep voice:
"This is just like strong wine. Distilled wine is stronger than the wine of the king of Chu, and stronger than the wine of Zhao. If the state of Chu and the state of Zhao are still there, they want their country's wine to be the strongest in the world. They don't think about how to brew strong wine, they just think about how to make strong wine.
My distilled wine was spilled and destroyed. What does the prince think?"
Gui Guzi understood why Ying Chengyun had been talking about wine before, and realized that Ying Chengyun was not a person who did not know the importance of things. His misunderstanding about Ying Chengyun was resolved.
Sit down again.
"What's wrong with this? Without distilled wine, King Chu Wine is the strongest wine. It can be easily destroyed to achieve the goal, so why bother brewing it?"
"Doctors say: Treat the symptoms but not the root cause. I don't know why the prince had such an idea. Although brewing is more difficult than destroying, it is a real improvement. Without distilled liquor, Chu Wang's wine is stronger than Zhao Guo's Hu wine, and Zhao Guo's
The next step is to destroy King Chu’s wine. If you don’t want to make progress and just suppress, I can’t agree with this.”
Guiguzi touched the table with his fingers and said:
"In the past, when Li Mu was the general of the State of Zhao, he told the State of Qin not to take an inch forward. Even the God of War, Wang Jian, could not pass. At that time, he offered countermeasures and asked Guo Kai to offer slanderous words, so that King Zhao Qian would kill Li Mu. If there was no king,
Above, Li Mu died early.
"What's wrong with Qin using the help of Zhao to get rid of Li Mu and conquer Handan? If you follow what your Majesty said, you should fight Li Mu head-on. If you lose your troops and generals, how can Qin benefit the world?"
Ying Chengyu raised a finger and shook it repeatedly.
"Without me, this matter would have developed like this. What the prince said seems to be correct. However, I used the veteran Lian Po to force Li Mu, and then used saddles, horseshoes and other objects to make Li Mu recognize the reality. To save Li Mu's life, now Li Mu is in the Northwest University
Show your strength. Zhao is dead but Li Mu is not dead. This matter is much better than what the prince said."
Guiguzi sneered.
"Your Majesty still wants to accept him as a disciple. From what I can see, he will not be used by your Majesty because of his heavy pupils."
"I don't want to attract customers... No, it's not impossible to have customers, but what I want to say is not to accept customers."
Ying Chengyu said seriously:
"If you want stability, weakening the enemy is the last resort, and strengthening yourself is the right way. Just like South Korea, it always wants to use various conspiracies and tricks to weaken the Qin State, and does not want to develop and strengthen itself. As a result, it is the first to be destroyed.
"The prince said that a child with double pupils is brave and invincible. I believe this, but if we know this, we will kill him? If the world does not change, the next child with double pupils will inevitably appear? This is not to prepare for a rainy day, this is unfounded worry!"
Guiguzi's eyes widened.
"This is to prepare for a rainy day. Worrying about things that will never happen is unreasonable. However, this Chongpuzi has been born, with the fate of a blue dragon, and a phoenix bird accompanying him. This astrology proves that he is a Chu person, and he is born with extraordinary courage.
He will be inferior to others. If given time, he will definitely cause trouble again!"
[Although this yin and yang technique cannot reveal Xiang Yu's name, it can reveal Chu people, which is also outrageous...]
Ying Chengyu thought to himself and said:
"What's the reason for the opposite?"
"He is a noble of the Chu State. He wants to restore his former glory. Your Majesty does not need to think about solving this matter. Since your Majesty wants to eliminate the nobles, enfeoffment is a system of the past and cannot satisfy this son."
"Can he accomplish anything on his own? No matter how brave he is, can he single-handedly fight from Qi to Xianyang, enter Xianyang Palace, burn down Epang Palace, and kill the emperor's brother?"
"...The Chongpuzi became a human being when he came into the world. How can there be such a person in the world?"
"That's it. Since he needs followers, where will the followers come from? Are they also nobles who want to restore their former glory? How many nobles can there be? They were rebelled by Wang Jianping before leaving Qidi? What if?
Ordinary people, then why do ordinary people follow him in rebellion?"
Guiguzi remained silent.
Ying Chengyu poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. His voice was not loud but very clear and steady.
"Because the world is not good! I don't believe that the world is good and the people are living a good life, risking their heads and rebelling with Chongtongzi?!
"My lord, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of Chongtongzi, or are you afraid of me or my brother?"
