Listening to this singing, Liu Mastiff suddenly stopped.
His eyes were wide open and his face was full of shock. Is there really someone so arrogant? Betrayed the Five Classics, destroyed Fengya, and scattered hundreds of families. Please use Conghuo. Is this really what a scholar can say? In that place For a moment, Liu Mastiff hesitated and did not dare to take another step forward. The rest of the people generally reacted in the same way. Those like Sima Yi who had met him before were fine, but those like Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong who had never been in contact with him were all It's like Liu Mastiff.
Sima Yi opened the door and turned aside to allow Liu Mastiff to enter first. Liu Mastiff no longer hesitated and took the lead into the prison. The others followed suit. Zhuge Liang was about to enter, but Sima Yi immediately stood in front of him and took the lead. After entering, Zhuge Liang looked at him and just shook his head helplessly. This guy was one year older than himself, but he still had such a childish temperament. Maybe he should arrange a marriage for this guy? Let him be a little more mature. ?
Liu Mastiff walked into the prison, turned left, and saw the young man.
The young man was sitting on the mat at this time, raising his head and singing loudly.
In Liu Mastiff's mind, he had thought about this person's appearance. In his opinion, such an arrogant Kuangsheng was probably a person who was unkempt, even his clothes were not neat, and his shirt was torn open, and he was bohemian. However, it was exactly the opposite of what he thought. This young man is very clean. In terms of his clothes, there is not a trace of dust on him. He is dressed very decently. Even his hands are like jade, without any dirt.
Judging from his appearance, he didn't look like a prisoner being escorted into Tingwei.
He noticed the person coming, stood up with a smile, bowed to everyone and said: "Greetings to you all!!" Liu Mastiff quickly returned the greeting, his eyes even more confused, this man didn't look like a madman, he saw I have lived through many crazy lives, like Prince Guo Jia, who openly despised everyone and never worshiped others, but proudly waited for others to come to see him. I have also seen people like Pang Tong, who had proper etiquette, but always said something wrong in his words. He looks down upon others and regards himself as the most respected person.
There are also Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi who hide their arrogance in their hearts.
But he has never seen such a humble and polite Kuang Sheng.
The man smiled and said: "Please forgive me for not being able to go out to greet you. Please sit down, don't be restrained, just treat it as your own home..."
Is there anyone who takes Tingwei as the master?
Liu Mastiff coughed and said, "I heard about your talent and fame, so I came to see you."
"The visitor is a friend. I am very happy that a friend can come to visit me before I die. Please sit down!" He said, as if entertaining guests at home, very enthusiastically. Liu Mastiff smiled after hearing this. , ignored the mess on the ground and sat down directly. Seeing the prince's actions, everyone was shocked and tried to persuade them, but Liu Mastiff greeted them warmly and said: "Everyone, please sit down, we will do this for you." Guest, how can you not listen to this master’s arrangement?”
Everyone looked at each other, and after Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, everyone sat down.
The young man was very happy and said through the iron fence: "Since you came to see me, have you brought any wine?"
"Please forgive me, I haven't."
"No problem, no problem." The young man said, looked at Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda, it seems that you want to save me. You have invited the prince here?" Sima Yi did not doubt him. How could he identify the prince? He nodded and said, "It would be a pity that you died in prison."
"Yes, I also feel that it is a pity that my book has not been finished yet..." He looked at the prince and said: "Your Highness, I have a great talent, maybe you can save my life?"
Liu Mastiff couldn't help laughing and asked, "What are your talents?"
"Your Highness, you don't know, but I am the best at catching ghosts, killing gods, and destroying pagodas. In addition, I can also break the destiny of heaven..." The young man said with a smile. Everyone laughed. Liu Mastiff also smiled and couldn't help but ask:
"Were you an alchemist before?" The young man nodded and said, "That's right. I have been practicing as an alchemist in Qing, Xu, Ji, and other four states. When I heard about evil spirits wherever they were, I went to catch them.
They... later, they really caught a lot of evil spirits..."
"There are ghosts who pretend to be to defraud the stupid people of their money, and there are ghosts who pretend to be to scare parents to death and inherit the finances. Most of them are evil ghosts that only live in the mouths of the stupid people. These ghosts are ghastly and terrifying, but they are similar to the legendary ones.
Generally..." the young man said, paused, and then continued: "Besides, I also know the way of killing gods. There are often sacrifices in the place, and anyone who dares to disrespect the God of Thunder will die...
.I drowned myself in urine. It seems that this god is also afraid of children's urine and cannot use his supreme power..."
"Some people claim to be able to communicate with God. I communicated with him for a while, and he just admitted that everything was just a lie..."
"As for the pagoda, Zuo Rong claimed to have supreme magic power, deceived the ignorant people, and participated in the Buddha Bathing Ceremony. He also said that worshiping the pagoda would lead to immortality and nine lives of enjoyment. I chopped him to death with a sword. It seems that this pagoda is a place of gods and ghosts.
Human beings, like humans, are afraid of swords..."
Liu Mastiff was a little surprised. According to this young man's opinion, there once was Wang Fu, who was also a ruthless man. He heard that when he was in Yangzhou, he destroyed a large number of sacrificial temples. He said wildly that if you have the ability, come and find me, Wang Jiexin.
Revenge, and later he died at the hands of assassins. Some people said that he died from divine punishment. But like this young man, he didn't care about any ghosts and gods at all. He had never seen Wang Fu destroying the sacrifice that was against Han law.
He still cares about orthodox sacrifices.
He would occasionally pay homage to his ancestors, but this young man probably didn't even know how to do this.
"There is no god or spirit in heaven and earth. Everything is a matter of human beings. What we do, how can we talk about ghosts and gods?" The young man said, then shook his head and said: "I shouldn't have said this in the first place. Your Highness is
If you don't want to help me anymore, it's a pity. If I die in prison today, thousands of years later, future generations will definitely scold you and scold you for being ignorant. Thinking of this, I can't bear it.
"
After hearing the young man's words, Liu Mastiff was silent for a long time, and then he said, "What you said may have some truth... But, what role can what you say play for the country? Can you
Can you make the country rich like Duke Wen, can you conquer all directions like Duke Dong, or can you rule the world like Duke Lu? If you can't do that, why should I save you?"
"I can't do what His Highness said, but I can do what they can't do. I can change the hearts of people in this world, and I can make people no longer ignorant... Your Highness must know that everything is
If people do not change, how can the world change? Many decrees of princes and princes have played such a huge role up to now, but they are still criticized by the ignorant and are unwilling to innovate according to the times. "
"If Your Highness can save me, my book may not be able to change this generation. They are hopelessly ignorant, but the next generation, and even the people after that, will definitely change and be willing to see new things and change things." Don’t leave it to the ghosts and gods, ancestors, do it yourself, human power far exceeds the so-called ghosts, gods, heaven and earth!!”
Liu Mastiff was startled, stared at him with his eyes wide open, and couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
"Zhong Changtong, meet His Highness!!"
.............
When everyone walked out of the prison, they still couldn't forget the words of the young man, Zhong Changtong, he was a crazy student, humble and polite, he treated everyone calmly and with a smile, but his His words were so arrogant, and his many statements made even a great man like Zhuge Liang fall into deep thought. While walking on the road, Yuan Shang asked in confusion: "Your Highness, do you want to save him?"
"Well, I will tell my father that it would be a pity to save this person and die in prison... Although I don't agree with what he said... But it can't be like this. Let him be released. As long as he admits his mistakes and no longer denies his destiny, my father will definitely let him go. That Zuo Rong is a traitor, and killing him is to get rid of harm, but he ignores his destiny. This is Ah My father can't bear it..."
As Liu Mastiff spoke, Yuan Shang nodded blankly and said: "I see, then you want me to go talk to Tingwei and let Tingwei take good care of him?"
Liu Mastiff nodded, looked at Fazheng on the side, and said: "Xiaozhi, you and Xianfu go find Tingwei and ask him to take care of Zhong Changtong a little, so that he can't be wronged in prison..." "Fazheng nodded, but Yuan Shang was a little unhappy. He said: "I can do this by myself, why do I need Xiaozhi to go with me?"
"Xianfu, you don't know, this court captain is called Huang Wan. He had some grudges with the East Palace because of Liu Gong's favor. I am afraid that you will suffer a loss... Let Xiaozhi go with you... ." After hearing what Liu Mastiff said, Yuan Shang accepted it. Liu Mastiff took the rest of the people directly back to the East Palace, while Yuan Shang went to Huang Tingwei's mansion with Fa Zheng. Fa Zheng didn't say much, and he didn't say much along the way. It was Yuan Shang who spoke.
Fazheng listened attentively, and Yuan Shang said helplessly: "Xiaozhi, sometimes when I am with you, I always feel that I am inferior... I don't know anything, just because of my father, I am hanging around you... Today That guy is talking nonsense in the prison. You listen to it with great interest, but I can't understand it at all... Is there any way to make people smarter? At least His Highness can rest assured when I do things in the future. Do you want me to go alone?"
"read more books."
Fa Zheng said.
"I'm reading. In the past two years, I have read more books than I have read in the previous ten years, but it seems that I have not made any progress..."
"It can't be achieved by just reading books for a few days. People like us, who don't have the talents of Shao Fu and Zhongda, can only study hard and work tirelessly. Only by working harder than them can we become better people than them."
The two of them chatted and came to the door of Huang Wan's mansion. Yuan Shang did not dare to chat with Fazheng and immediately went to knock on the door. After a while, a servant opened the door, looked at the two people outside and asked: " What's the matter with you?"
"I came here on the order of the prince to pay homage to Tingwei!" Yuan Shang said.
When the servant heard this, he immediately went in to report. After a while, he came out with a humble face and said, "My master is unwell and cannot see guests. Please forgive me!" After saying that, he was about to close the door, and Yuan Shang hurriedly said.
He said: "It's just a small matter, it won't take long for Tingwei..." Before he could finish speaking, the door was already closed by the servant. Yuan Shang's face was filled with anger, his face turned red, and he was speechless.
Fazheng stepped forward and knocked on the door.
No one came to open the door. Fa Zheng knocked on the door again and again, and the sound became louder and louder, almost smashing!
The servant immediately opened the door, looked at the door displeased, and said, "I told you..." Fazheng grabbed his neck, pulled him in front of him, and whispered: "Go back and tell me
Huang Wan, that old dog, if he doesn't come out to see me today, I, my filial piety, will swear to God that I will try my best to destroy his whole family in the future, leaving no chickens or dogs behind, and making his men slaves and his women as slaves.
Prostitute, you go and report it to me now, I will only wait for him for three seconds."
The slave was trembling all over, his face was pale, and he looked at Fazheng in front of him in horror. Fazheng pushed him away violently. He was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and fled towards the mansion.
