Chapter 119 The Holy Emperor rules from the top of the sky, and all the wise men rule the world
faceless man
This is the second time Jiang Hua has seen faceless people. It doesn't take a guess to know that there must be many shady deals behind these faceless people.
However, when the deal behind this is beneficial to Yancheng, it is acceptable.
"I come on behalf of a noble person."
Jiang Hua glanced at the faceless man and said he understood, and then began to taste tea.
"Now, Young Master Yangsheng has been granted the title of Grand Sima by the monarch. He is in charge of the military affairs of the five counties and is fully responsible for the conquest of Yancheng."
"Currently, Young Master Yangsheng plans to station himself in Liujiagang and use this as a basis for military training. However, Young Master Yangsheng does not have enough prestige and many generals do not listen to him, so he plans to arrange some generals to serve as vanguards. The following is the vanguard force
Detailed information and route of travel.”
"It is now late autumn and February. The total number of this vanguard force is about 10,000, all of them are soldiers. The coach is an elderly doctor. This doctor has now returned to his peak. Although this man shouts
It’s awesome, but in reality it’s just an idea of a peaceful handover.”
"The doctor's thoughts are not difficult to guess. He has carefully considered the current situation. He thinks that Yancheng will shrink the army back. He thinks that Yancheng will hold on to Dashiguan to delay time, so he plans to whenever Yancheng's army leaves a certain
When he conquered a certain place, he would immediately lead an army to recover a certain place, so that he could continue to make meritorious deeds."
"As for the risks involved, the doctor has also considered it, but after serious consideration, he felt that he could maintain a tacit understanding with Yancheng, trade with Yancheng secretly, or even betray Chaoguo directly."
"My lord hates this kind of rip-off thing the most!"
What the hell?
What?
There can only be one person who betrays the Chao Kingdom, and that’s me!
There can only be one person who benefits from maintaining a tacit understanding with Yancheng, and that’s me!
There can still only be one person who can successfully regain the lost territory and gain military exploits. Who would it be?
As for the secret transaction with Yancheng and the benefit, needless to say, it must still be me!
"The information about this doctor is as follows. He was born in the Li family of the Four Great Qing Clan. His father is the current head of the Li family, so he was able to become a doctor after a lot of hard work. It's just that his fiefdom as a doctor is pitifully small.
There is only one land."
"His bloodline mutated when he was young. He is now a water snake. He can transform into a dragon when necessary, but he is still water-based. His magical powers are suspected to be..."
"In this army, in addition to the doctor himself, there are seven or eight masters at the level of third-generation doctors. The following is their specific information. These people are basically from the noble family or official family, so their strength is pretty good.
Each one of them has magical powers, and the army under his command is relatively elite, with more grassroots officers, and the command and control of the army is stronger than that of ordinary armies..."
After a while, the faceless man sold all the information about this army: "Finally, it's their marching route. If nothing else happens, they plan to cross the river first, take a boat through Liujiagang, and head to the east.
The five counties will end up in Guyang County. They are expected to set off in three days. They will first go to Guyang County from the ferry to wait and see the situation..."
"Because these people did not obey orders, Young Master Yangsheng would not support them. When they encountered an ambush, Young Master Yangsheng had no time to support them."
I understand, this is because the prestige of Young Master Yangsheng is too low, so the nobles below simply unite and go their own way and don't listen to him.
Therefore, Young Master Yangsheng betrayed their information by the way. On the one hand, he could show his sincerity, on the other hand, he could clean up the thorns and establish some prestige.
"In this battle, you can fight to your heart's content. It doesn't matter how many you kill. Even if we kidnap them and demand ransom secretly, we will pretend not to know."
"I came here mainly to form a tacit understanding with you on behalf of our Lord."
"My Lord has said that Chao Kingdom is Chao Kingdom, and he is him."
"My Lord also said that we hope to use tacit understanding to cooperate with each other."
"In this battle, my lord only wants Guyang County and Dong County. The remaining three counties will all belong to Yancheng. Yancheng can do whatever it wants."
"Every time before our Lord sends troops, I will come to communicate and inform you in advance what the operational goals of our army will be and how many troops will be dispatched. I only hope to form a tacit understanding and even cooperation as much as possible."
"My lord will try his best to send military merits to Yancheng, but he also hopes that Yancheng can allow our lord to win some victories. These victories do not require Yancheng to lose anything, as long as Yancheng cooperates a little. For example, my lord leads the army to cross the nest.
River, encountered attacks on the way, and finally defeated the Yancheng attack, ensuring the safe arrival of the army."
"For example, our lord led the army to Dongjun to expel the remaining Yancheng army in Dongjun, and finally successfully expelled the Yancheng army."
"For example, if Yancheng completely transfers the population resources of a certain county, if you don't want it, our Lord can win a battle and regain the lost territory."
"My Lord has said that he will find a way to deal with the heads and other matters on his own. I just ask for a little cooperation from Yancheng."
"After Yancheng cooperates, our Lord will try to delay the time until winter. Now there is only a month and a few days until winter. If it is delayed until winter, Yancheng will have three more months to recuperate. During these three months, there is no need to
We will carry out small-scale battles intermittently, and my Lord will do his best to bring military honors to Yancheng."
"My lord is also willing to secretly help Yancheng smuggle, help Yancheng purchase needed supplies, and is also willing to capture savages and trade with Yancheng. Those who are difficult to kill in Yancheng can be revealed to my lord, and my lord will do it himself. Likewise, it is inconvenient for my lord
Those who want to kill directly, I hope Yancheng will take action."
"My Lord also said that one day in the future, Yancheng and my Lord may be at odds with each other. But before that day comes, I hope we can maintain a tacit understanding and strengthen each other."
"Finally, my lord said that the enemy of Yancheng has never been him but the foolish king who has lost his credibility on Meishan Mountain."
"Maybe one day, maybe in the future, we will all have the opportunity to continue cooperation."
"This vanguard army is our Lord's sincerity. I hope we can see Yancheng's sincerity soon."
"Only when things come and go can they last forever."
"Next, I will stay in Yancheng. If necessary, you can inform me at any time."
"Hope this is a win-win cooperation!"
After a while, the faceless man left. Until he left, Jiang Hua didn't say anything. While drinking tea, Jiang Hua couldn't help but recall the first time he met the faceless man, probably with Hu
The Hu family cooperated and the Hu family sold out to other counties. It was a win-win situation at that time.
However, at that time Jiang Hua was still a little cautious and worried. He often worried that Yancheng would be gone one day when he woke up.
At that time, Yancheng was really too weak, with not even a single Taoist priest.
At that time, as long as the monarch was determined and let go of his moral integrity, one person could rush over and destroy the entire Yancheng.
But now, everything has changed.
On the other hand, the owner of the faceless man is very sincere, but how things will develop in the end depends entirely on Jiang Hua's personal will. It wasn't until a moment later that Jiang Hua slowly put down the tea cup...
…
As the sun set, a guest riding a donkey arrived in Yancheng.
This guest was very special. When asked where she was from, she directly replied that she was from Qufu Academy.
Qufu Academy is the place where Confucius teaches today, and it is also the place with the largest number of people among the three university palaces.
Li Sheng was giving lectures in Luoyang and was in charge of the history of the collection room. Anyone who came to Luoyang Academy could enter the collection room of the Zhou Dynasty and have a look. Li Sheng shouldered the relevant cause and effect. Everyone, go in and have a look.
Take a look, you don't owe Emperor Zhou anything. Li Sheng has already paid it back for everyone.
In view of the many secrets in the Zhou Dynasty's secret room, Li Sheng had the most experts, including many real people and first-generation monarchs.
In addition, Li Sheng's path is not that easy to walk, and he is quite high-minded.
And Donghai Academy is Mo Sheng's territory. Everyone knows Mo Sheng's contempt for the old nobility. If Mo Sheng hadn't been too strong, he would have committed suicide with seven swords in the back.
Most of the disciples of Mo Sheng are real paupers, many of them are savages and common people. These people do not have the state of mind of Mozi and cannot truly treat everyone equally. They often look at things with a pair of colored glasses, and many even
Because of my background, it was a bit too much.
And studying is very resource intensive.
Relatively speaking, Kong Sheng is more popular.
Kong Sheng himself was from a serious noble family, and of course Mo Sheng was also from a noble family.
However, Kong Sheng recognized the nobility and Zhou Rites, and even believed that Zhou Rites were the best in the world. Because of this view, many disciples of Kong Sheng’s disciples have chosen to run away with buckets. It is really that they have different paths and do not work together.
Zhou Li is something from that era, but even today, you still think that Zhou Li is the best in the world. Is there something wrong with your brain?
The ideal society of Confucius is probably one in which the nobles understand the hardships of the common people at the bottom and truly act according to the standards of a gentleman. In this way, the nobles are all gentlemen and understand the hardships of the common people at the bottom, so they will not exploit the common people at the bottom.
Rather, we should be considerate of the old and the old, and the young and the young, and do not do to others what you want to do to others...
The Datong society in Confucius' ideal also had nobles, common people, and kings. It was still a world with strict hierarchies and distinct levels.
It's just that Kong Sheng imagined that the nobles and monarchs in the Datong society would have extremely high moral cultivation, understand the lower classes, and not overly exploit them. If you think about it, you will know that this is completely impossible.
Now that Kong Sheng is still alive, when he dies one day, the Confucian sect will inevitably split apart, and then attack each other, constantly calling each other a heretic, killing him until his head is full, and his head is bloody!
In short, Kong Sheng was quite popular among the nobles!
Many nobles would send their sons and daughters to study under the disciples of Confucius, and then go back after acquiring skills.
Qi Xin was a typical nobleman, a Confucian scholar, and one of Confucius' direct disciples.
As a direct disciple of Confucius, Qi Xin also had her own understanding of Confucianism. She advocated that the emperor should rule from the ground up, and the wise men should govern the world. She advocated learning from Gong Bohe of the Zhou Dynasty.
At that time, a foolish king appeared in the Zhou Dynasty, and he used many foolish tricks. In the end, the people of Luoyang could not stand him, and then the people of Luoyang united with the nobles to expel him as the king. After the king was expelled, Gong Bohe became
In nominal terms, the Duke of Zhou became the de facto ruler. This rule lasted for many years (historically fourteen years), and it was not until many years later that a new Emperor of Zhou succeeded to the throne.
Qi Xin has always felt that the emperor is fatuous and incompetent, so he should simply let the emperor rule from the top. All the wise men join forces to govern. As for how to produce wise men, there are many ways. It can be based on family background, talent, or strength.
, it may depend on the background, but anyway, no matter how you look at it or choose it, in the end all the sages will be much stronger than the emperor ruling the world alone.
Qi Xin has never concealed her thoughts, so she is considered a heretic in Qufu Academy. However, there are many heretics under the Confucius Sect, so everyone is used to it. If one day there is no heresy, that will be
Not normal.
When Qi Xin entered Yancheng, Taoist Qingmei took the initiative to greet him.
"Meihua Dao Qingmei met Taoist friend."
"The Jiang family in Qufu Academy, whose surname is Xin, has met Taoist friends."
After a while, the two of them came to a restaurant and sat by the window, drinking tea and chatting while enjoying the breeze.
"Taofa has entered life. To be honest, I have seen many similar ones before. However, at that time, it was the nobles who used Taofa to make their lives more comfortable."
"Some nobles use Taoism to transform the manor to make it warm in winter and cool in summer, and they enjoy living there. Some nobles use Taoism to make the flowers in the manor look like spring all year round, making the manor lush and blooming all year round.
There are all the flowers.”
"Nobles use Taoism to make their lives more convenient. This has been happening for a long time. It's nothing new."
"What's new is that Yancheng applies Taoism to the lives of the grassroots. These Taoisms in Yancheng are all popular. I have seen the series of large-scale mining magic tools invented by Yancheng when I was in Qufu. Master
He took the lead as a guarantee, saying that whenever his disciples use Yancheng's daily ritual tools, they must pay according to Yancheng's rules."
"For this reason, many fellow disciples also complained, saying that Master is already old and a little stubborn, so he can prepare to start a retirement life."
"However, there are also many nobles who directly imitate. Now, I can't say that the relevant imitations have spread all over the world, but many enlightened nobles have already experimented in their own territories. After tasting the benefits, these big nobles
I have also begun to embrace the concept of Taoism entering life."
"Of course, these nobles are shameless on the surface. They will indeed pay for the first one they copy, but they will also have brains in the future. They will also ask Taoists to use Taoist methods to change the production model, and they will also ask Taoists to invent similar methods.
device."
"These great nobles are larger in size, have a large population, and their fiefdoms are larger than those in Yancheng today. There are many Taoists in their fiefdoms. Under such circumstances, how can Yancheng ensure its own advantages?"
