Tong Buye complained that the Supreme King treated his case unfairly. After hearing this, the Supreme King said calmly: "Who made the law?" Tong Buye was stunned. The Supreme King said: "Why is the law determined?"
Tong Buye raised his head slightly, and then he realized that the Crown Prince was winking at him, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "Young women don't know."
The Supreme King said: "The law is set by the monarch to bind the people. Therefore, the law does not bind the monarch. The monarch's will is the law."
Tong Buye shook his head and said, "That's not right. You were chosen by nature to govern the people, so you are the one who enforces the law for heaven." Even Situ Cen coughed this time, but Tong Buye still couldn't hold his tongue. "Although the law is set by you.
, but it is the king who regulates the behavior of mortals on behalf of heaven. Once it is established, it cannot be changed at will, otherwise the people will not know what to do, the will of heaven will be messed up, and the way of heaven will not work." The prince and Situ Cen coughed at the same time.
The Supreme King sneered and said: "What a sharp mouth. According to your opinion, the guerrillas are doing justice for heaven?"
"No." Tong Buye said, "They broke the law."
"Which is more important, the way of heaven or the law?"
"The law follows the way of heaven, which is of equal importance." Tong Buye said, "If the law does not follow the way of heaven, the country will not be a country. If the law follows the way of heaven but the country does not follow the law, the country will be in chaos. If the country is in chaos for a long time, it will perish."
The prince shouted: "Get out!"
Tong Buye ran away. The Supreme King said slowly: "Stop." Tong Buye had already run to the door and was standing on the threshold with his left foot inside and his right foot outside. Situ Cen forced himself to laugh a few times.
The Supreme King pointed at her and said to the Crown Prince: "Is this your subordinate?"
The prince said bravely: "Let's just forget it."
The Supreme King hummed: "How brave."
Situ Cen looked around blankly and said, "Um...actually, it is good for the whole country to allow people to freely choose their careers."
The Supreme King slapped the case and said: "A person's identity is determined by his ancestors, how can he mess around with it?"
Tong Buye stood on the threshold and murmured in a low voice: "My ancestors were also military households in the former dynasty."
Situ Cen clapped his hands: "That's right! Father, weren't our ancestors also military households?"
The Supreme King responded again: "Our ancestors started out with military exploits!" He looked at his children and grandchildren, and gave Tong Buye a look, "It is the right way for a military household to start out with military exploits."
Tong Buye muttered again: "My grandfather's grandfather studied, and my uncle was a civil servant."
Situ Cen clapped his hands again: "Yes! Father, our family has been studying since our great-grandfather's grandfather's generation."
The Supreme King looked at him and said, "That's why our family has conquered Zhu Ming's world."
This time the prince couldn't help it anymore. "Grandpa, your old cause and effect is wrong. It was Zhu Ming who lost the world first, and then Grandpa, Li Zicheng, and the Tatars outside the pass competed with each other, and finally won the world that they both gained."
The Supreme King said "hmm" and said, "That's not wrong. However, it was a troubled time and the world was disordered. If you want the world to be well-ordered, you cannot let people do whatever they want and do whatever they want. Only when there are rules can there be stability. As for doing
"You are in a bad mood from time to time." He didn't look at Tong Buye and took a sip of tea. "As long as you are not in a bad mood from time to time, it won't affect the overall situation. What else can anyone do?"
Tong Buye clasped his fists in his sleeves, lowered his head and said: "A civilian girl is just a weak woman, so naturally she can't do anything about it. However, not all people in the world are weak women."
"To put it bluntly, it all comes down to who has more soldiers and horses and who has stronger firearms." Taishang Wang said, "There is no such thing as the way of heaven. If I want to kill you, I will kill you right now." Tong Buye trembled.
The prince hurriedly said: "Grandpa, she is still useful!"
The Supreme King sneered: "You know the guerrillas, right? Even after she dies, the guerrillas can still find a way to send you a message."
"No, she has other great uses." The prince said, "She can make money. She makes a lot of money. She is my grandson's pocketbook. I know she is bold and timid and cannot make money." She stood up and handed over her hand.
He said, "Your grandson is poor, but he has a lot of things he wants to buy. I beg your grandfather to show mercy."
Taishang Wang said leisurely: "What do you want to buy? The lonely king will buy it for you."
Situ Cen said hurriedly: "Father, my son also has something he wants to buy."
The prince said: "Third uncle, let's buy it ourselves. Many state and county warehouses have been looted, so there will be more money."
The Supreme King laughed and said: "Don't worry, the treasury is not short of money, there is plenty of it. I just never use it."
The prince shook his head: "No. That's your old man's and father's money, not mine."
Situ Cen said: "You don't want me to want it! Why can't I use my father's and brother's money? Father, buy me another car~~"
The Supreme King glanced at him: "Don't you have one?"
Situ Cen said with a smile: "I want one more. Anyway, you are rich, so why not buy another one?"
The Supreme King patted the table: "Prodigal son! If you want, buy it." Then he ordered a eunuch in the room, "Buy a car for this kid."
"Thank you, father! My father is blessed with great blessings and a long life!"
The Supreme King looked at his youngest son and grandson. Although they were both upset, he really liked him. While the old man was happy, the Crown Prince quickly signaled Tong Buye to get out. Tong Buye scurried to the door, stroked his heart and took a deep breath.
The Supreme King then said sternly to his son and grandson: "Jia Cong is not the master's material, and he is afraid of being suspected by the master, so he simply cut off the power of the king. However, this is not the right way, and the world will return to the right way sooner or later."
Situ Cen smiled bitterly and said: "Father, that's not the case. Sooner or later, the world will become like the Federation, and it will never return to the ancient system. Jia Cong knows the future very well, and he copied many of the national policies of the Federation from later generations.
He himself has said many times that the present century is a turning point in history." The Supreme King's brows moved.
Shizi said: "It was discussed in our school magazine. The more mainstream view is that the mysterious master when he was young was the one who rebelled against the Peach Blossom Spring."
"What is a rebel?"
"Our classmates feel that the Wuling fishermen in The Peach Blossom Spring did not accidentally encounter a secret realm, but encountered a time and space wormhole and entered the time and space of the late Qin Dynasty. Jia Cong's master also encountered a time and space wormhole and entered the time and space three hundred years later.
After spending some time there, he returned to the current world, and by chance, he accepted Jia Cong as his disciple, told him his experiences, and also taught him the knowledge gained from later generations."
Situ Cen thought: "I have read the book on Wormhole, but I don't understand it."
The prince smiled and said: "Third uncle has never studied physics systematically, so it is difficult to understand."
"Then...why isn't Jia Cong Ni Peach Blossom Spring?"
"Jia Cong made a mistake when he was young." The prince said, "A child at such a young age has an unstable mind and will not be able to learn much even in later generations. However, he is extremely talented and does not hesitate to share knowledge with his friends. He is a very proper spreader of civilization.
The man who rebelled against the Peach Blossom Land then taught him the thoughts of future generations and told him to reverse our clan's experience of being bullied by the East and the West. He used all his strength to destroy the East and damage the West, in fact, in order to complete the mission of the master."
Situ Cen unconsciously raised his chin: "Isn't he Nezha?"
The prince hummed: "He talks about atheism all day long, but you really believe that he is Nezha."
The Supreme King said: "However, the evil spirit asked him to show the way many years ago and found the sinister killing array underneath the palace in front of us."
"Oh, that's right." The prince was a little confused. "That's true. That's strange. Then why do we promote science and oppose superstition?"
Situ Cen said: "There is something strange happening recently." He took out a newspaper from his arms.
The Supreme King was annoyed when he saw it: "Where did you get it from?"
Situ Cen heyed: "You can't be beaten to death with one blow." The prince raised his head and took a look. It turned out to be "Chang'an Tianxia Bao". Situ Cen turned to the second page and pointed to an article, "Father, the eldest nephew, Look, you two. It’s actually in the political section, not the anecdotal section.”
The title of the article is very eye-catching: Wong Tai Sin stole treasures and repaid them in gold, and the Liao king recovered his lost wealth. It said that the Liao king and his ministers once transported several batches of treasures from Shenyang to their fiefdom in Russia, but the weasel spirit Wong Tai Sin stole and exchanged them. It was turned into gravel, tree branches and other objects. Strange things have happened recently. Someone from the Escort Bureau all the way from Qiongzhou in the south sent several carts of gold to the King of Liao and others. It happened that the price was about the same as the treasures they had stolen, and a little more.
After reading it, the prince said, "My classmates and I have already guessed what Jia Cong did." She looked at her grandfather and uncle and said, "Last year, there were rumors that the King of Liao's fleet was robbed, but no trace of the robbers could be found. In order to transport their property to the Russian territory, they went to the Huifeng Bank and exchanged it for gold. The gold was full in the warehouse, but it was sitting there for nothing, so they used it to buy land. Jia Cong used coercion and inducement to coax people to expand their territory. Since he had to pay back the gold, There is no doubt that he did it. He is the only one with a lot of gold to be so generous, and the money he stole was returned to others. What’s more, the third uncle suspected that HSBC Bank was working with the Jia family."
Situ Cen said: "Don't be suspicious, it's from their family. I know Liu Feng, the boss of HSBC, who is from Lu. Didn't I tell you earlier that Lu is in the federal government? Qi is in Lu." He hummed, "He also pretended to say that Liu Feng resigned from Jia's Horse Racing Company to go it alone."
The prince also said: "The state of Lu also pretended not to join the federation."
The Supreme King held the newspaper and had dozens of thoughts running through his mind, but he couldn't decide on one.
Situ Cen said: "Regardless of whether he has an origin or not, it is always a fact that he is the strongest at the moment. Father, every time I go to Dajiala to see my nephew, I understand more and more that we are no match for him." Nai tutted enviously, "The school is full of students. They are smart, confident, and knowledgeable. They dare to think, speak, and do anything. Look at our students at Shu State University. They learn whatever Mr. Rujuanju teaches. No one is so out of the ordinary. .”
The prince said: "Third uncle, that's called creativity. In recent years, Yanda and Guangda have made more inventions. If they can design cars, we can only buy them. They don't sell everything. Grandpa, they made cars. Do you believe that electric lights are not used as firearms?"
After a long while, the Supreme King let out a long sigh: "So, he will never let the Kingdom of Shu live in peace no matter what."
Situ Cen pointed to the newspaper: "Why did the King of Liao move to Russia for no reason?"
The Supreme King waved his hand and said: "You two go out, the lonely king thinks about it." The uncle and nephew looked at each other, stood up and saluted. Situ Cen had already gone out, and the Crown Prince was at the door. The Supreme King suddenly shouted, "Yan'er."
The prince quickly turned around and said, "Grandpa."
"You are not allowed to marry that girl named Tong."
"Ah?" The prince was stunned, "Did I ever say that I wanted to marry her? Her children and grandchildren can't stand it."
"That's right. Since there are no servants, they are useful, so let's use them for the time being. If there are too many, she doesn't need to think about them." The Supreme King then stared at the prince, "There are too many, so you don't have to think about them."
The prince's face was full of innocence: "My grandson has never thought about it! Where is it? I never thought about it." The Supreme King waved her hand and sent her away. The prince bowed again and left.
Situ Cen was waiting outside the door and asked, "What did the old man call you for?"
The prince raised his chin towards Tong Buye: "The old man said he was not allowed to marry her." Situ Cen bared his teeth and was speechless. Tong Buye shuddered and glanced at the prince quickly, pretending not to hear.
Two days later, the King of Shu, who had been away from home for a long time, finally sent someone to deliver a message. He had arrived in the capital and was wandering around. Several kings also arrived in the capital. The special envoy of Qi State said that King Qi could not come for some reason, and there were many people on the streets. It is speculated that the State of Lu is about to resort to war. The palaces of the three princes of Qin, Jin and Wu in the capital in their early years are all for sale this time. The Yan State court has decided to buy them all and either use them as museums or repair them and sell tickets for tourists to watch. 4. The bastard now only has Dongping Palace, Liguo Palace and Rongguo Palace still inhabited by the original owners. Even Qi Guo Palace has been sold. With the changes in the sea, things and people have changed.
After reading this letter, Situ Cen let out a long breath and said, "A few days ago, I said that the Qi State was in the hands of the Lu State, and it will be taken away now."
The Supreme King said: "You don't know how to calculate. He is so old and a scholar. How can he not be saved because his body and bones are in ruins?"
"If you don't believe it, just wait and see." Situ Cen said, "There will be news in less than half a month. Do you believe it?"
Sure enough, less than half a month later, only six days later, the special envoy of Shu to Qi sent a horse back to the country: Lu destroyed Qi. No one knew how, and overnight Qi's palace fell into the hands of the Lu army. The King of Qi surrendered and took his beloved concubine Ma to temporarily live in Zhuangzi in the suburbs. Rumors spread that the two largest aristocratic families in Qi, the Cui family and the Lu family, had defected to Lu and jointly sold Qi. The people of the country Everyone was overjoyed to hear that it would be merged into the Lu State in the future. They had been envious of their neighboring country for a long time. Now the Lu State is recruiting the army of Qi State. It will soon conduct a census of the entire population, cancel all household registrations and unify them into citizens. They have also sent many propagandists. Kong Zhaohuan, the Duke of Yansheng, who preached the laws of Lu everywhere, was the first to stand up and support Qi's entry into Lu. Several newspapers from Lu went to Qufu to interview and take photos. The newspapers instantly spread all over Qi. This special envoy to Qi I have met with the special envoy to Lu and asked my subordinates to ask the Supreme King and the Crown Prince for instructions: whether one of me or my colleagues should return to China.
The Supreme King sat there for as long as a cup of tea and said, "Cen'er, what do you think?"
Situ Cen said: "The Prince of Qi's Mansion in the capital must be sold. The destruction of Qi by the State of Lu is nothing more than harvesting wheat. The people of the State of Qi should be withdrawn. In my opinion, all the people of the State of Qi should be withdrawn, and only those of the State of Yan should be left. Father, King Yan, Will the special envoy be arrested?"
"Third uncle!" the prince complained, "can you please be more trustworthy? I'm still in the capital."
The Supreme King said: "Are you sure that HSBC Bank is the property of the Jia family?"
"I'm sure." Situ Cen said, "If Liu Feng doesn't go to Qinlu to become prime minister, I'm just suspicious."
The Supreme King said: "Since that's the case, let's call the shopkeeper of HSBC Bank here."
"ah?"
The prince nodded repeatedly: "That's right! If you robbed our official treasury, shouldn't you pay compensation?"
