"Three Thieves Zhang are wrong. The imperial court did not release grains, not because they were unwilling to save the people of Hebei, but because the people of Hebei have been hijacked by rebels like you. By releasing grains at this time, are they saving the people?
When you are trying to support the enemy, you must know that war is dangerous, life and death are at stake, and it is no trivial matter."
Unexpectedly, when Cao Lin remained silent for a long time, the person who came out to argue with Zhang Xing turned out to be Duan Wei, the Minister of War, who came with him.
This is very interesting. After all, although everyone does not understand the whole story, they are not blind people. Previously, Cao Lin dragged this person down, and the two people's posture was obviously inappropriate. Just now, Duan Wei was defeated by Cao Lin.
The more it hurts to laugh, the more weird it becomes... But at this point, at least when facing the "Three Thieves Zhang", the stance of this one of the Eight Nobles of the Eastern Capital and Minister of War is still sound.
Even what he said seemed to be a bit unreasonable.
"Who is speaking?"
As soon as Duan Wei's voice fell, and everyone was still undecided, Zhang Xing immediately spoke, but he didn't even look back, he just sat there and asked. "I'm here to attend the meeting, and I'm sitting in the outer circle, how can I speak without speaking?"
Tell me your name and origin?!"
This means that there is no overnight feud, and he immediately replied to "Three Thieves Zhang".
"Who am I?" Duan Wei was furious and yelled back, stroking his chest on the spot. "Who am I? Everyone here today can ask this question, except you and Li Ding! One of them is a long-time subordinate of my Ministry of War.
, who was personally recommended by me to serve in Wu'an after passing the Nanya Council; the other was in the Western Capital that day, hooked up with another of my subordinates, Wang Daiji, and plotted to go beyond me to frame Duke Mu in order to flatter the saint.
"How dare you say you don't know me?"
Li Ding glanced sideways at his old boss and said nothing. He guessed from the moment he appeared that Cao Lin had brought him here to suppress him, Mr. Li Laosi.
"So, who is your Excellency?" Zhang Xing still did not look back, but just looked at Zhang Bofeng opposite. "Master Zhang, if you invite me to wait for a meeting, you want to sit down and discuss the truth. Is there such a way of talking about being a thief?"
Zhang Bofeng opened his mouth to speak, but was embarrassed for a moment - on the one hand, he certainly felt that Duan Wei, a half-time military leader, was a bit rude, but on the other hand, even he instinctively thought that Zhang Xing was a thief, so he did not say anything to stop him at the time.
"Aren't you a thief?" Duan Wei didn't care at all that the three great masters were sitting in a row, and remained arrogant. "If you weren't a thief, there would be no thieves in the world!"
"Logically speaking, I shouldn't discuss what it means to be a thief with someone like you." Zhang Xing's expression remained unchanged, and his figure remained unwavering. "This is like some unscrupulous person casually slandering a good man.
People would have to argue it out, even to the point of having a disembowelment to show innocence. If this is true, then all the good people in the world will be dead... However, what you said this time is too funny, so there is no harm in arguing, but
It won’t happen next time.”
Duan Wei sneered and said with disdain: "Even if you talk about flowers, you are still a thief."
"A thief has four meanings, the first is stealing; the second is cunning; the third is evil; the fourth is chaos..." Zhang Xing continued.
"Well said, you Zhang San just took advantage of this random word!" Duan Wei heard half of it and suddenly said something to bite him.
Moreover, although Duan Wei was too domineering, most people on the Hongshan platform believed that he was a thief who killed Zhang Xing. They already knew this by looking at Zhang Bofeng's reaction. Even the people who helped him knew this.
Although they are angry in their hearts, many people have always equated rebellion with being a thief. A few people, such as the nearest Xiong Bonan, Wei Xuanding and the farthest Dou Xiaoniang, feel something is wrong, but they don't know how to refute it.
In fact, even they felt that Zhang Xing should not take up this topic. He could just accuse the other party of being rude or directly admit that he is a traitor. There is no need to engage in verbal arguments and send himself away in vain.
into an inappropriate position.
Of course, there were also people who unexpectedly maintained their confidence in Zhang Sanlang... such was the case with Li Ding, who was sitting next to Wei Xuanding.
"In terms of thieves, it seems that the British Duke Bai Hengqiu is the first choice. After all, he has stolen more than 12 counties in Jin, so the British Duke is a thief." Zhang Xing was unhurried and ignored Duan Wei's interruption.
, and these words also aroused the reactions of many visitors from Jin. However, the reactions of these people did not seem to be that intense. They only increased their breathing and slightly changed their expressions, and they soon stopped a little as Zhang Xing continued to speak. "
As for the cunning ones, King Dai Ji of Huainan and Sima Huada of Jiangdu can be said to be among the most cunning thieves in the world; as for the evil ones, Zhang Jinsheng kills without restraint and for no reason, and he is one of the most evil people in recent years;
In terms of those responsible for the rebellion, it seems that I, Zhang Xing, did the most because I established the Gang, and the Gang is the leader of the rebel armies in the world, and the actions to eradicate the violent Wei are mostly our Gang's fault."
There seems to be nothing controversial about this, everyone understands it, not to mention most of the people here really understand it... But some people's eyelids twitched slightly, such as Zhang Gongshen... Of course, when everyone finally heard that Zhang Xing was not asking for it, they all knew it.
The words seemed endless.
Sure enough.
At this point, Zhang Xing stood up for the second time, looked around, and spoke with the help of Zhenqi and the south wind: "However, as far as I know, there is a father and son who only want to be thieves.
Bai Hengqiu, Wang Daiji, Sima Huada, Zhang Jinheng, Zhang Xing and others are so far behind that they can be called a small witch compared to a big witch. These are Cao Gu and Cao Che, with them..."
"presumptuous!"
This time, it was not Duan Wei who interrupted Zhang Xing, but Cao Lin. Following the stern scolding of the emperor's uncle, a sudden burst of invisible energy suddenly appeared out of thin air, and rushed towards Zhang Xing who was very close.
Come.
From Zhang Xing's point of view, although this energy was invisible, as soon as it was released, it seemed like a huge physical wave hitting him directly on the head.
It can be said to be unstoppable.
However, Zhang Xing was not knocked down by this infuriating force that was clearly beyond his ability to deal with it, nor did the people around him suffer any damage, because two equally powerful invisible infuriating energies rose up almost simultaneously with Uncle Cao Huang's scolding.
The invisible giant wave was forcefully torn apart in the air, forming a cyclone that spread across the platform, blowing away the south wind.
Uncle Cao Huang's face suddenly changed. He gritted his teeth and pursed his lower lip. Then he met the scrutinizing gazes of Old Master Zhang and Taoist Chonghe. Obviously, personal attacks need to be distinguished and discussed, but taking action, and taking action right away,
This is absolutely not allowed.
Of course, after Old Master Zhang withdrew his gaze from Uncle Cao Huang, he glanced at Chong and Taoist Priest again, as if he was a little surprised that the latter suddenly came to help?
This clear confrontation between the three great masters was actually so restrained that except for the high-level practitioners within two or three circles, the others did not notice it at all and just thought it was a sudden whirlwind. It might even be that
Only Zhang Xing, who was in the middle of the confrontation, the three grand masters themselves, and several grand masters in the outer circle could detect the order and stance of the three grand masters.
Zhang Xing paused for a moment, as if nothing had happened, and then continued speaking as if nothing had happened. Even his voice and intonation, as well as the energy attached to them, had not changed at all:
"I'm sorry to be blunt, but with the Cao family of Bao Wei and his son here, who is qualified to be called a thief? I think Bai Hengqiu only stole more than a dozen counties of Bao Wei, but Cao Gu stole Guanlong from the Zhou Dynasty and Sima family.
, nearly a hundred counties in Jin, Bashu, Wanluo, are the real thieves of the country! Wang Daiji and Sima Huada are also cunning, but how can they deceive the generals of Guanlong and Zhuguo before they usurp the throne with Cao Gu?
Daughter, how powerful is it to coax them into thinking that the Cao family is a loyal minister? As for killing people as evil, Zhang Jinsheng is the bastard who has killed the most people in the past four or five years, but the people he killed are even worse than those killed by Cao Che.
What does it count? Have you forgotten how many civilians did not come back from the three expeditions to Dongyi? Or have you forgotten the people who died trying to send big trees to Xiudong? And there is talk of rebellion... Everyone, this is Hebei! Some things must be said
Are you going to keep saying it over and over again? Isn’t it Cao Che himself who is causing chaos in the world?! Isn’t he the biggest thief in the world by robbing the Cao family of Wei?! Then you dare ask our gang, and I, Zhang San, who rebelled against the biggest thief in the world
If you rebel against a thief, why should you still be a thief?! And since the monarchs of the two generations of Cao and Wei were both thieves, the biggest thief, how could it not be doomed?"
As soon as these words came out, the order in the field was finally no longer suppressed, especially the peripheral followers of the gang and several attendees who were inciting to respond. Among the rumors and echoes, many people with backgrounds in the Cao Wei court did not participate.
But they all remained silent. At most they whispered and discussed, but no one immediately stood up to refute.
Neither Cao Lin nor Duan Wei.
The main reason is of course the unmistakable attitude of Zhang Bofeng and Taoist Chong He just now, as well as Zhang Xing's brilliant rhetoric skills and his ability to launch surprise attacks to catch people off guard. However, at the same time, most people, including Cao Lin and Duan Wei, still felt that
There are people from the Wei Dynasty (Xue Changxiong?). In fact, they realized one thing very quickly, even very early, that is, in this place in Hebei, the Wei Dynasty cannot win the hearts of the people.
The Jin area is better, but a few days ago, after the news came that the British Duke Taiyuan took advantage of the Jin area and blatantly took over the entire military and political affairs of the Jin area, it is self-evident how the officials, people and soldiers of the Jin area reacted to the Wei... Anyway, he would not stand on the big side.
Wei is on the other end.
This is an objective fact. If Cao Lin refuses to acknowledge it and continues to pester, it will only make himself more embarrassed.
After Zhang Xing finished speaking, he sat down. There was a lot of discussion in the venue, and it took a while before it became quiet.
At this time, Zhang Bofeng spoke slowly: "If you ask me, what I just said is very good. Let's start with the current situation, and what is the current situation? It is that the Wei Dynasty is about to die, and the troubled times have begun. This is the truth. That's it.
Well, if you have to deceive others and make some perfunctory remarks, why discuss it? I am old and have old injuries. I have not left the south slope for decades. Now I go out to do this meeting.
So I ask you to seek truth from facts and speak cheerfully, otherwise why go down the south slope?"
As soon as the Grand Master opened his mouth, it was very effective, and everyone was naturally convinced. More importantly, Cao Lin just sat there without saying a word. He didn't know whether he was persuaded by the Grand Master, or he was ready to leave with despair.
?
But why didn't he just roll his sleeves? Has he already accepted this result in his heart? Or maybe he has other intentions?
"Cao Zhongcheng, let's be safe when you come." Zhang Bofeng looked at Cao Lin and comforted him a little, but in the eyes of others, it seemed more like a warning. "Even if you don't want to speak, it doesn't hurt to listen. Besides, Your Excellency
In addition to being the uncle of the current emperor, he is also a great master after all. Some of the discussions are still worth continuing to listen to." At this point, Old Master Zhang looked at Zhang Xing opposite again. "Zhang Sanlang... you talk about the current situation, talk about the Wei Dynasty.
Must perish, that's a good statement. There are so many people here today, no one can refute it, and I agree with it. But, are you saying that Cao Wei is a big thief, a giant thief, is it too harsh? Did Cao Wei annex?
He also established and strengthened many new systems such as Nanya, leading three provinces and six ministries, imperial examinations, etc. He also organized the world's water transportation and land routes, moved the capital to the Eastern Capital, and enabled the people of the world to enjoy a great experience that had not been seen in hundreds of years.
How can An Ding be easily dismissed as a thief?"
"I thought that someone like Master Zhang, who was a master of both civil and military affairs and had experienced many turmoils in the dynasty, and who was one of the great masters in the world, would have high opinions. Who would have thought, how could he say such despicable remarks that many people are prone to make?" Zhang Xing
Listen carefully, sit still, and immediately refute.
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Bofeng was not annoyed at all and asked seriously. "How are my words despicable?"
"Master Zhang's greatest despicable thing is that he regards a regime as big as Cao Wei, which lasted for decades and almost unified the world, as the simplest thing to judge." Zhang Xing raised his voice and answered seriously. "I say Cao Wei.
They want to perish because the two generations of monarchs were great thieves in the world. Does this mean that they deny the achievements of Cao Wei? This is like a man who was robbing someone on the roadside and was knifed into his stomach. He is about to die. Listen, everyone.
Everyone clapped their hands after talking about it, but this matter has nothing to do with whether this person is filial to his parents, whether he is smart or not, how tall and fat he is, whether he is handsome, whether he worked hard when he was a child to draw Qi and build the foundation, and even whether his left arm and right arm are intact.
Is there any necessary relationship between whether the legs are strong or not?"
Zhang Bofeng was obviously stunned and thoughtful.
Zhang Xing also continued: "I don't know if you have similar troubles. When I was the chief of the gang, in charge of local general affairs and the entire gang's personnel, the most troublesome thing was to force myself not to do things because of one person.
A momentary omission, cowardice, mistake, failure, and stupidity can completely reject a person. Don't rely on a person because of a momentary thoughtfulness, bravery, correctness, victory, and intelligence. But what's more, even more
You cannot ignore a person's temporary excellence or inferiority because of his overall and final performance. In addition to people, the same is true for the gains and losses of things, and the pros and cons of plans... Master Zhang."
"Huh?" Zhang Bofeng seemed a little lost in thought.
"This is what happened with Cao Wei. It is not just the private property of the Cao family and his son. It is a public weapon that has been used by all the people in the world since hundreds of tribes coexisted. It is the great Wei of all people in the world. Among them, the Cao family and his son, as the Yuankui of the great Wei, are
Going against the will of heaven led to the death of the Wei Dynasty. Of course, it may also be due to the excessive demands of Guanlong. The officials inherited the Great Zhou Dynasty and were deeply corrupt, and the system was incomplete and chaotic... But in the end, its death cannot cover up its life, just as it was.
You can't chase the prosperity of the country." Zhang Xing almost blurted out, but he didn't know how long he had these thoughts. "I was originally a farmer in the north. I served as a vanguard, and then worked as a public servant in Jing'an for a while.
That's all, I don't know much about rebellion that comes out of anger. And if I have any real insights in the past three years of rebellion, it is that I gradually realized that I can unite the world, the four seas, and a dynasty that can unite eight or nine of the world.
, it is a great fallacy to regard a region, a class, an organization, and a clan as one body without the past and future of time, and without the thinking and experience of the human heart! What does Master Zhang think?"
On the red hillside that was silent for a while, Zhang Bofeng took a moment to look at the people with different expressions around him, then turned his gaze back to Zhang Xing who was directly in front of him, and said sincerely: "I probably understand why I help control this world.
It has turned the world upside down... With just this one achievement, you are better than many others."
This is almost equivalent to surrendering.
"It's a great honor to be praised," Zhang Xing said in response.
"But." Zhang Bofeng suddenly said again. "If we look at it this way, let's go back to the issue of the thief. The Cao family and his son can be called giant thieves, so Cao Wei must perish. Then you..."
"Teacher, I would like to ask Chief Zhang about something I'm not happy to say." At this moment, someone in the outer circle suddenly stood up and saluted, interrupting the Grand Master's words.
"Please tell me the name of the person coming." When Zhang Xing saw Zhang Bofeng opposite, he turned around and nodded, and then asked.
This person is opposite him, behind Zhang Bofeng.
"Wang Huaitong of Taiyuan." The man answered with his hands raised.
"I have long admired your name, please speak to Duke Huaitong." Zhang Xing still did not move, he just raised his hand to indicate, and then turned to listen. It did not seem to be too pretentious because the other party was a master or a leader of a famous family.
"Chief Zhang." Wang Huaitong didn't take it seriously at all, but asked his question seriously. "What you just said said that Cao Wei is not the private property of the Cao family and his son, but another public weapon of the world since the coexistence of hundreds of races?"
"yes."
"However, since ancient times, that is, since hundreds of tribes have coexisted, for nearly ten thousand years, which dynasty or kingdom in the world has not been the private property of one family, one surname, and one clan?" Wang Huaitong stood there, holding his hands flat in front of his chest, motionless.
, let’s ask seriously. “Even if it gets bigger, like the Wei Dynasty, and extends to the Guanlong clan at most, how can it be considered a public weapon of the world?”
Hearing this, before Zhang Xing could say anything, Zhang Bofeng, who was opposite him, had already laughed. He immediately turned around to explain: "Wang Erlang got distracted. The public and private property you and Zhang Sanlang talked about are actually not the same thing. What he said was
The survival of all things, you are talking about who is in charge, one looks from the outside in, and the other looks from the inside to the outside..."
"Students know." Wang Huaitong remained motionless. "But students just want to ask Chief Zhang, looking from the inside out, is this dynasty a private or public property?"
"Even looking from the inside out, what was not necessarily private property in the past may also be public property in the future!" Zhang Xing was about to speak. Behind him, Wei Xuanding suddenly stood up, causing Chief Zhang to be robbed of his words for the second time. "Teacher, I'm Zhao.
County Wei Xuanding."
"I remember you." Wang Huaitong smiled, but he put down his hands and looked at each other through Zhang Xing and Zhang Bofeng. "I am different from my mentor. I have always been one person in one hospital, and I followed the teachings. That year
Among my students, there are only two people who I remember deeply...one is Fang Xuanqiao, who was always smart and was accepted as my disciple, and the other is you who are cynical all day long...Xuanqiao, I have met your senior brother."
Behind Wang Huaitong, a young and handsome young man in his thirties stood up, avoided his seat, slightly cupped his hands, and called him senior, then he bowed his head and sat back down, as if he didn't want to participate and just wanted to listen.
It's just fun.
At this time, Wang Huaitong continued to smile and asked: "Wei Xuanding, what did you just say?"
"I said that this dynasty may not have been privately owned in the past, but it can also be a public asset in the future." Unexpectedly, Wei Xuanding stood firm and no longer felt aggrieved. He just wanted to do what he had learned.
Whether it is swallowing the jujube wholeheartedly or some things that are really felt are properly released. "In ancient times, when hundreds of tribes prospered and countries were established, although there were chiefdoms for plunder and seizure, most of them were for the purpose of building water conservancy and preparing for natural disasters.
Resist monsters and guard against wild dragons. Later, the Black Emperor defeated the demons and the Red Emperor repaired the mountains. The use of such public tools gradually became less and less, but it was still the main responsibility of the dynasty and the country. It was also the root of corvee and taxation since ancient times. However, in general,
There are ignorant people like Cao Gu and fearless people like Cao Che, who think they have conquered the world and act recklessly, thus violating the laws of heaven, collecting taxes for their own pockets, and levying civilians to fulfill their selfish desires... But it is precisely because of this that violent people
Wei will fall, and it is also because of this that our generation will gather here, sit down and discuss, trying to figure out the gains and losses of the past. It is also because of this that our gang will take violence against Wei as a warning, and will shout out to share the benefits of the world.
, depose 'those who are good at benefiting the world'."
At this point, Wei Xuanding's tone became more and more calm. He just looked at the other party and said with his head raised: "Teacher, prince, everything has an inheritance. The previous generation was too selfish and led to disaster. The next generation must learn from the lesson and be a little public servant.
If the next generation is too upright in the world and restrains the vitality of people's hearts, they will naturally be divided into selfish interests. Sometimes, a person may act selfishly before becoming a public servant... But according to the students' point of view, these are all okay.
The... key is to understand the situation clearly, understand the direction of the general trend of the world, do not do anything against your will, and do not be a person who goes against the trend. But today's trend is to expose Wei's excessive selfishness and self-destruction. We are responsible for this.
Lead the world to go as far as possible toward the official side."
After saying that, Wei Xuanding sat down directly.
Wang Huaitong over there was stunned for a while, and then he opened his mouth after a while, ready to say something.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Xing, who was directly opposite and in the middle, suddenly applauded.
It's just others. The gang members are used to holding meetings and applauding, so they applaud almost instinctively. However, many other people may feel that what Wei Xuanding said is somewhat reasonable, or they may feel that there are some aspects that make them uncomfortable.
They felt uncomfortable, but they didn't think about it for a moment. When they heard the applause and saw people clapping their hands, they almost instinctively followed suit.
Even the chubby Taoist priest Chong He also smiled and clapped.
After struggling for a long time, a warm round of applause finally broke out on the hillside of Hongshan Mountain, which somewhat showed that this meeting was a victorious and harmonious meeting. So in the end, seeing that the applause could not stop,
Old Master Zhang also applauded symbolically.
Leaving aside the livid-faced Cao Lin who was sitting there, Duan Wei and others aside, Wang Huaitong stood awkwardly in the second circle. He had never seen such a scene before, so he could guess that the applause was a form of appreciation.
As for the praise of Wei Xuanding, doesn't it mean that he was refuted by his own students?
What should I do at this time? Do I want to do what I did when giving lectures, just walk away and go back to the room to copy books?
That would be really embarrassing.
After a while, Wang Huaitong could only take advantage of the applause and sit down.
Directly across from him, Wei Xuanding, who had actually sat down for a long time, felt that his whole body had softened, but his eyesight became clearer again.
Old Master Zhang, who seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, just clapped his hands twice, waited for the students behind him to sit down, and then continued to speak. His voice was not loud, but it was as if he was speaking in everyone's ears, immediately making the entire platform quiet:
"Actually, what the two of you just took the initiative to discuss is related to what I originally wanted to ask Chief Zhang... What I want to ask is actually, since the Wei Dynasty must die, who will be the next to succeed? Why? Cao's family
Since father and son regard the governor as a giant thief, how can others ensure that they will not become giant thieves in the future?"
"That's a good question, old general." The military leader Xue Changxiong, who remained silent, or kept silent from the beginning when he saw Cao Lin being beaten, couldn't help but echoed. "This is what I want to ask too."
"This matter is simple." Zhang Xing glanced at Xue Changxiong and almost blurted out the answer. "The Wei Dynasty was good at benefiting the world, so it lost the hearts of the people of the world, so it perished. Naturally, those who win the hearts of the people of the world will win the world, and they want to win.
The people of the world must share the interests of the world, so those who can share the interests of the world should be prosperous."
Many people present couldn't help laughing. Zhang Sanlang, after all his talk, was actually talking about his own family, but he chose not to say it directly. Instead, he just echoed Wei Xuanding's previous words with "the benefit of sharing the world"...
...In addition, he proactively set up the topic at the beginning, raided Cao Lin, the great master who fell into the water, and just suddenly applauded and forced the victory between the teachers and students of King Wei. No matter what, this guy's level of sophistry is indeed unparalleled, and he is really slippery.
However, Zhang Sanlang continued at this time: "As for the matter of becoming a giant thief in the future, I think we can only do our best and obey fate. No one can guarantee things that are too far in the future."
That's right, Zhang Santhief, who has always had the initiative in the "rally", actually gave up the issue on his own initiative. Even considering that the beginning of this rally was an invitation from Master Zhang to the gang, one was the initiator and the other was the guest of honor. Faced with the initiator
In fact, when people ask questions casually and avoid answering them, it feels like they have surrendered.
Old Master Zhang seems to have regained the upper hand.
"That's right." Li Ding said suddenly. "It's like the Cao family and his son are both giant thieves, but isn't Cao Che's evil and chaos ten times worse than Cao Gu's theft and cunning... And when Cao Gu was alive,
Not to mention himself, even all the ministers and wise men of the day could not imagine that Cao Che would turn the situation into this... Who can say what will happen in the future?"
Cao Lin and Duan Wei, who had been silent all this time, both looked at Li Ding. Because of their status, they were keenly aware that Li Ding was beginning to waver, and although they didn't know where he was going,
But the complete departure from the Wei Dynasty is already obvious... Of course, this is a new discovery for Cao and Duan who have just arrived in Hebei. For most people present, this is simply a matter of course.
So, everyone just nodded, after all, no matter what, the truth is still right.
"What Mr. Li Fu said is absolutely true." Zhang Xing also smiled and turned his head to speak, ready to take over the words. "If you want me to say..."
"If you want me to say..." Xue Changxiong seemed to want to say something.
"If you want me to say something." Immediately, another person stood up suddenly, and the sound shook the mountain. Just like Wei Xuanding had robbed Wang Huaitong who was talking before, this person also robbed Xue Changxiong who was talking. "What do you want me to say... is there anything you can say?
Can you hide your modesty? At present, only our gang can share the interests of the world, especially after Li Yang releases grain. Who dares not to recognize it? Since the gang can share the interests of the world, it is naturally the most popular one after the fall of the Wei Dynasty.
Home!"
"Master Zhang is asking about what must happen." Zhang Xing seemed to be deliberately contradicting Xiong Bonan, and suddenly raised his voice to remind him, "It's not what happened... King Xiong Tian made a mistake."
"That's right." Xiong Bonan looked around, his face overflowing with purple energy, like a ghost and god looking at him, causing the practitioners present, from the three great masters on down, to look sideways. "If it is said that it must be successful, who in the world dares to say the word must?!
This is exactly what Chief Zhang just said. But what the Grand Master just asked is that there is actually another word for being, and if we talk about being prosperous, besides the gang, who is to be prosperous?! What can we do to replace the gang?"
Master Zhang was about to speak when another person stood up, but was extremely polite: "I, Cui Suchen, are in charge of the clerical affairs of General Ling Xingtai... Master Zhang just asked two questions, and Chief Zhang, Wei Longtou, and King Xiongtian actually all answered them, but
I have different emphasis and I am not talented. I also have a little reply, which is aimed at the last question of Master Zhang... I am not very advanced in cultivation. Could you please allow me to speak slowly, Master Zhang?"
Zhang Bofeng looked at this person, but he liked him sincerely, and immediately nodded: "Cui Erlang, just tell me, I read the "Law" you revised, and I do have some ideas."
"Thank you, Master." Cui Suchen bowed his hands and saluted, and then stood up to talk. "As you have said, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, because once those in power are unscrupulous, they can easily degenerate into giant thieves.
This is already obvious in today's saint. The previous saints also became increasingly paranoid and harsh after their power was consolidated in their later years and they became unscrupulous. Looking back, many heroes, nobles, and nobles were like this. Going back further,
, to be treasonous and unethical... After becoming the Supremes, don't these Supreme Beings also tend to cause harm to the world? If the Trinity Orthodox Sect had not gained momentum and used the Three Brilliance to determine the Four Imperial Guards, the world would have been completely ruined by the Four Imperial Guards.
Already."
At this point, Zhang Xing could see clearly that Taoist Chong He, who had been just listening and not participating in the actual discussion, suddenly turned to look at the person who was speaking, and Wang Huaiji, who was holding a mirror behind Zhang Bofeng, suddenly grinned at him and made
He stood on his back with chills and suddenly became energetic.
"So, we have no way to prevent someone from becoming a giant thief, but we may not have a way to slightly restrict those in power so that they can hardly cause trouble after they become giant thieves." Cui Erlang did not notice the performance of individual audience members, but he just couldn't wait.
What I have always wanted to say. "As for what the method is, everyone has an idea, and I think that, no matter what, one of the methods is the law... The better, more precise, stricter, and more generous the law, the better it can protect people."
Not harmed by thieves, "Law" is our gang's attempt."
"With all due respect." At this moment, Wang Huaitong stood up again and spoke. "I have read "Lv" and I definitely think it is a good law, because most of the changes are correct. Cui Erlang's intention...including helping this move
, are all worthy of praise... However, I would like to ask Chief Zhang and Cui Erlang, is the law really of great use? We just said that Cao Che is a giant thief, and I deeply agree, but Cao Che is the emperor,
He made a constitution and changed the law with just one word. What law can stop him? Also, in the past, the laws of the Eastern Qi Dynasty were much stricter than those of the Western Wei Dynasty, and many laws were also good laws. However, the powerful people of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, whether in the southern Wei Dynasty
Which one takes the law seriously, the court ministers in the county, or the wild generals of the Wu tribe in Taiyuan? They are unscrupulous and trample on the laws. In comparison, although the laws of the Western Wei Dynasty are obviously rough, they are better.
Strict execution will make it even better.”
Zhang Xing ignored it.
Cui Erlang laughed and immediately replied: "What Duke Huai Tong said is true, but is it possible that there are good laws that are not obeyed and people practice evil laws? The law is the law, and it is only a part of restricting giant thieves. The rest are
Things should be left to other things, other people.”
When Wang Huaitong saw that the other party was dripping wet, he smiled, lowered his head and sat down.
At this time, Grand Master Zhang Bofeng saw another round of spontaneous debate end, and finally took the opportunity to express his views clearly: "What you all said makes sense, so I will tell you what my doubts are... According to me,
It seems that since the Tang Dynasty moved south, the world has been divided, wars have continued one after another, and various systems and laws have been constantly changing, but there is a big problem, that is, after every turmoil, the new system and the new court seem to make things worse.
The emperor became more and more centralized as a single husband, and once a single husband centralized power, he would often become a giant thief. Even if a single husband did not become a giant thief, he would just be unruly and vulgar. There will always be evil people who take the opportunity to attach themselves to the single husband and become giants.
Thief, big thief... So, I always think about this thing, that is, can we stop this kind of centralization of power and retreat to a thousand years ago, preferably before Bai Emperor, and then we can find someone similar to Bai Emperor
When my men come, we will become co-owners and we will have local self-government."
Many people immediately understood the true intention of the great master, and there was a constant buzz.
Zhang Xing was suddenly enlightened for a moment, and then lost consciousness. Without him, he already knew the fundamental problem of Zhang Boxeng, and also knew why Zhang Boxeng was specifically looking for him.
The thing is actually very simple. Old Master Zhang first joined the army, then studied essays, and then taught and educated people, but he could not get rid of those shackles. Essentially, after thinking about the previous history and his own long life experience, this great master
I am trapped in the cycle of history and cannot get out.
Under such circumstances, he would naturally be shocked by how indomitable he and his gang were, and wanted to meet and clarify his logic.
After Zhang Xing figured it out, he felt powerless for the other party, and even felt ashamed of his shallowness back then.
Because the other party fell into it because they lived in this world, experienced the history personally, and personally felt the blood, cruelty and helplessness in the historical cycle, and the reason why I was able to jump out was essentially because the time traveler had the right to
The world is indifferent, and its perspective is too ethereal and lofty.
At the same time, since Zhang Bofeng, as the great master, expressed his long-standing views, he naturally attracted everyone's attention. Many people began to participate in the discussion, especially those present, most of whom were from Hebei and Jin.
Most of them are victims of centralization. Even within the gang, many people are hesitant... Isn't Li Yang's incident clear evidence of the harm of centralization? Aren't all Cao Che's actions clear evidence of this truth?
If we really go back to a thousand years ago and each place maintained a semi-independent posture based on region, would Cao Che dare to do this?
In the chaos, Zhang Xing remained silent and allowed many people to stand up and discuss. After a lot of agreement and a lot of questions, it seemed that Old Master Zhang did not get the answer he wanted. At this time, he instinctively looked at what he had said.
The reason why he came out of the mountain was that the Zhang Sanlang who surprised and surprised him was actually the Zhang Sanlang who became a trend-setter in troubled times.
"What do Zhang Sanlang think?" Zhang Bofeng took the initiative to ask under the already setting sun. It seemed that it was another test of naming names.
The surroundings immediately fell silent following the Grand Master's words. Zhang Xing waited for a while before answering from the seat: "Actually, if you want to answer Master Zhang's question, you need to answer another question first."
"What's the problem?" Zhang Bofeng asked seriously.
"That's what the way of heaven is?" Zhang Xing thought while gathering words. "In other words, if heaven asks for something, senses something, and responds to something, what does it seek? What does it feel? What does it respond to? After all,
, the response of heaven is directly related to the direction of history. And here today, there are three great masters, four masters, dozens of people who have made elixirs and condensed elixirs...I wonder what you all think about it?"
The people around were all awe-inspiring, even Taoist Chong He and Cao Lin were also awe-inspiring. Zhang Bofeng looked at each other deeply and was the first to answer cautiously: "I don't know what other people think, and I just keep thinking.
I was not very sure, so I never shared my opinions with students or other seekers to avoid misleading others... In fact, one of my most outstanding students, Liu Wenzhou, who stole my belongings and fled to the North,
He has long believed that the law of heaven is impartial and merciless, and the vitality of heaven and earth in the world is countless. Humans, dragons and gods live in the world. If wild beasts and insects are born in the grass, biting and fighting each other, he only needs to cooperate with specific methods or imitate the sages to open specific blockades on his body.
, then you can calmly take away the vitality of others and return it to yourself. In this way, even though you are a mortal, you can still be proud and supreme."
Zhang Xing's eyelids twitched, but his expression remained unchanged: "There are many people who hold this view."
"Indeed, there are quite a few." Taoist priest Chong He suddenly put his hands together and interrupted with a smile. "As far as the old Taoist knows, the four emperors all like to open locks directly for their own people to do big things. Back then, they opened locks randomly so that some people could kill people by killing people.
This aroused the resentment of the heroes of the world and directly contributed to the establishment of the Trinity Orthodox Church."
Zhang Xingqian laughed and did not answer. Instead, he glanced at Wang Huaiji who was holding a mirror and listening attentively, and then continued to look at Zhang Bofeng: "Where is Old Master Zhang himself?"
"I don't think Heaven is a ruthless thing, otherwise why are rewards and punishments so clear? The four emperors are the clear evidence, which is inescapable." Zhang Bofeng answered seriously. "So, I guessed wrong on my own. The original intention of Heaven and Earth should be to destroy this world.
All things in the world are harmonious, growing leisurely, spring, summer, autumn and winter, reincarnation as usual... As for the surge of vitality of heaven and earth during wartime and chaos, it is more like the world is caused by man-made disasters and chaos, and the vitality is lost, and God cannot bear it and compensates for it."
This was different from the request for advice when they first met, and Zhang Xing had to admit that this idea was consistent with Zhang Bofeng's own view of history.
Pushed to a harmonious and stable era, with an ever-changing total energy of heaven and earth, although there are fluctuations, it is generally balanced. This is what Old Master Zhang can do after experiencing all kinds of outrageous wars and countless betrayals and killings in the late period of the Great Zhou Collapse.
a concept of.
"There is some truth, and it can stand on its own." Zhang Xing nodded and turned to look at Cao Lin. "Cao Zhongcheng, you are also a great master. How do you view these things?"
Cao Lin opened his mouth, hesitated, and then didn't refuse to answer: "I built a pagoda in the East Capital, and Langya Pavilion is very close at hand. There are many true stories, but I have never believed any of them. I have to say something specific.
My idea is that I always feel that if I am strong, I can be strong even if I am strong in the Wei Dynasty... Is the same thing true for the Grand Governor of Dongyi?"
Some people around me were visibly disappointed.
But after thinking about Zhang Bofeng, Zhang Xing didn't think so much anymore. If the fate of the country is tied to the fate of the country, who doesn't allow it?
If the Wei Dynasty can really work hard to govern, continue, and become strong, including completing the great cause of completely connecting the world for the first time, why can't this great master who protects the country turn into a true dragon and a true god that protects the country?
"Where is Taoist Master Chonghe?" Zhang Xing continued to look at the other great master.
"What does the old Taoist have to say?" Chonghe Taoist Master clasped his hands and answered. "The three radiances will determine the four emperors, and the people of the world will be unified... However, the old Taoist does not think that the vitality of heaven and earth in this world is fixed, nor does he think that
When the world is in turmoil, the vitality of heaven and earth is full to compensate for the recovery. Instead, it feels that there is a heaven in this world who is condescending and looking down on all living beings. However, even though the three radiances and four emperors are difficult to guess the mind of heaven, so there is no need for mortals to do their own thing well.
That’s it.”
This is the basic theory of Trinity Orthodoxy, and it is also the most recognized theory in the world.
Including Zhang Xing, he is also a supporter of this theory, but he feels that you must find rules when doing things, and when you do things, you will be rewarded at the level of heaven and earth energy, and you can guess some theories.
No need to pretend to be confused.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xing looked at Wang Huaji, who was holding the mirror and said nothing, and then looked at Xiong Bonan, Wang Huaitong, and Xue Changxiong. After finding that none of these people took the initiative to express their desires, he took the Grandmaster's hand and started talking.
Likou:
"To be honest, I have my own opinion. It is superficial, ridiculous, and has no solid verification. But it is the conjecture that I believe most so far... That is, the law of heaven is impartial and good, and rewards and punishments are clear.
The root cause, or the desire of heaven, actually lies in the progress of civilization, the advancement of history, and the instigation of people's hearts.
"In other words, no matter what is going on with the way of heaven, based on my current experience, I personally believe that things in this world should be advanced rather than retreating, should be new rather than old, should be prosperous rather than simple, and should be people-oriented.
, try to let as many people as possible participate in the progress and innovation of this world. Including sharing the benefits of the world, deposing those who are good at the benefits of the world, and even repairing the "Law", all kinds of thoughts originate from this end.
"So, we have to work hard. As long as it is new, good, and right, we can do it. Do it hard. Don't think that doing these things is useless or impossible, because as far as I know, the most powerful person in the world is
It is the interaction between people. As long as we do a lot of good things, these things and people themselves will interact with each other to produce new good things, thus completely changing the situation.
"Going back to Mr. Zhang's original unfinished question, I actually have never cared about future giant thieves, because there will be people who will do good deeds and depose giant thieves in the future! As long as our generation has a clear conscience!"
Everyone present was silent for a moment.
After a pause, a person holding a mirror broke the silence first and sneered: "Interesting."
"No matter what, Zhang Sanlang has his own ideas." Zhang Bofeng seemed to have come to his senses and laughed. "It's just a pity that this idea is exactly opposite to my old age, but I understand why you act so calmly.
, no hesitation at all.”
"Everyone is just guessing." Zhang Xingping answered right. "No one knows which one is right and which one is wrong. You have to try it. But I am young and can try faster..."
Old Master Zhang nodded.
At this time, Chief Zhang stood up again, looked around for the third time, and made a speech: "Everyone, I have one more thing to say. I want to remind you that just now you all agreed with what Master Zhang said about the 'giant thief', but you did not
Did you notice? This is actually the 'dragon' that our gang wants to depose! Those who are good at benefiting the world put the dragon first, so they are called dragons, but they are actually those who are good at benefiting the world. The so-called giant thieves are not among the people.
The most evil dragon?! So, the name of the gang is actually to cut off the violent Wei, stabilize the world, and bring peace to the world! This ambition is shaky and has gone through three years. It is really not easy. Until now, although it has
If the great master is pressed against the top of the mountain by the red mountain, but as you have seen with your own eyes today, not only have our gang not lost their original aspirations, but they have become stronger and will not abandon them in the future! And if you are also determined to do this, you can
Come and find my comrades!
"This is what I want to say today...but if you have any questions, I will answer them myself."
After saying that, he sat down again, as if there were no three great masters around him staring at him.
PS: Thank you to the new alliance leader Mr. Tiger King Qiao E for joining the alliance...I am very grateful.
