If someone was engaged in literature a few days ago and rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor a few days later, then Yu Xian’s first reaction would be, that’s fucking outrageous!
But if this lunatic is a political strategist with a reputation as a troublemaker in troubled times, then Yu Xian not only thinks it is reasonable, but also feels relieved that this kid is really causing trouble.
Politicians like Zhao Song who are loyal to their benefactors and commit suicide are just outliers. The true character of a political advisor is to betray one's trust and commit repeated acts of mischief!
There are countless traps in their plain and sincere words, which induce and shake people's minds.
With the help of repeatedly packaged words and phrases, they can manipulate the people of the world at their fingertips.
Even the powerful monarchs and princes would shudder when faced with these politicians who speak like tigers and wolves and spit out the poison of snakes.
Even if you have supreme power and outstanding talents, these will only become weapons they use to attack you.
Even the more powerful you are, the more ways you can be exploited by politicians.
Just as he was thinking about it, Que Xuan said again, "Since the Imperial Master is considerate, may I dare to make an appointment for you two?"
Yu Xian laughed and said, "That's not necessary. I'm not ignoring him because I'm generous, but because I don't need to be like a dying person."
Thinking that Tao Qian had died of illness in the past two years, Yu Xian understood a little bit why Tao Qian, a guy who was unwilling to be lonely, started to believe in Buddhism.
Anyway, he was already suffering from illness, and his great cause of hegemony was probably over, so he simply dedicated Xuzhou's money, food and wealth to Buddhism, hoping for wealth in the next life.
Well, this can be considered a transfer payment of some kind.
After hearing this, Que Xuan's eyes flashed slightly. He obviously knew something about Tao Qian, and he neither admitted nor denied what Yu Xian said.
Yu Xian looked at Que Xuan, but couldn't help but get excited.
This dreary situation in Xuzhou is exactly when the Han Dynasty Imperial Master dips his mop in shit and breaks out a new world! How long will it take if he does not use Que Xuan, a great weapon that destroys the balance?
The more he thought about it, the more reliable he felt. Yu Xian immediately waved to Que Xuan, "Xiao Xuan, come on, come on."
Que Xuan heard a black line.
What the hell is Xiao Xuan?
It's a pity that Que Xuan is only a literary scholar in Xuzhou Mufu with 400 dan. He really can't stand up to this national master who has won 2,000 dan.
So Que Xuan could only awkwardly follow Yu Xian to sit down in the hall.
Xu Shu, who had nothing to do, also followed in.
There is nothing to quarrel between Yu Xian and Strategist, who are such good talkers. Anyway, it is all my fault, so we will just show their cards directly.
He said to Que Xuan, "I heard that there used to be a political strategist who was revered as Que Zi. He must be the ancestor of the literary circle."
Que Xuan's eyelids twitched when he heard this, he looked at Yu Xian carefully, and then slowly said, "There is indeed some connection."
The surname Que is uncommon and its origin is easy to pinpoint.
Yu Xian did not give Que Xuan time to think, and continued to ask, "With such a literary background, he must also be proficient in the knowledge of political strategists."
Que Xuan denied it with a serious face, "What the Imperial Master said is wrong. I, the Han Dynasty, have 'deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism' for hundreds of years. Although I am a descendant of Que Zi, I have been familiar with Confucian classics since I was a child.
I have never dabbled in any miscellaneous knowledge. As for the nonsense said by those politicians, I have never heard of it."
When Yu Xian heard this, he laughed and said, "Young Literary Master, you are right. How do I remember that you just said that you were poor since you were a child and could only recognize a few words? How come you have read Confucian classics since you were a child?"
Que Xuan was startled, thought for a moment, and then said sincerely, "I didn't think carefully just now. Let me answer your question again."
After hearing this, Yu Xian unexpectedly replied, "Okay."
Immediately, as if nothing happened just now, Yu Xian asked again, "With such a family background in literature, I must be proficient in the knowledge of political strategists."
Que Xuan said calmly, "Xiaguan has been poor since he was a child and doesn't know much about literacy. He doesn't know anything about the knowledge of a political advisor."
Xu Shu looked at the two of them interestingly, but the expression on his face did not change at all.
Seeing that he refused to admit it, Yu Xian said with regret, "That's such a pity. There is an excellent opportunity in Xuzhou right now. If there are people who are good at the art of vertical and horizontal, they may be able to get great benefits."
Que Xuan still had some judgment about whether Yu Xian was telling the truth or lies.
He deliberately ignored the matter, but his eyes flickered, and his heart that wanted to die could not help but tremble.
He reads the Spring and Autumn Annals every day, looking for chapters and excerpts. He seems to be enjoying a peaceful and ordinary life, but at heart he is still a politician!
He is a political strategist who can make the whole world change his mind just by opening his mouth!
Que Xuan looked at the table in front of him, thought for a long time, and then said softly, "The Imperial Master might as well come and listen."
Seeing that he neither admitted nor denied it, Yu Xian became convinced.
The sweet smell of the troubled times has already driven the politicians lurking everywhere almost crazy!
Besides, there is historical fact that Yu Xian had already preconceived the idea and knew that even without his own instigation, sooner or later this guy would cause a big scene.
Yu Xian then asked Que Xuan, "Since the literature publisher is a student of the Spring and Autumn Period, from the perspective of the literature publisher, is it possible that Xuzhou's current situation will last forever?"
Que Xuan didn't answer.
Yu Xian asked him again, "What do the literary scholars think of the powerful Buddhist sect in Xuzhou?"
Que Xuan replied this time, "Keep a respectful distance, you know a thing or two."
"Respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance" is the teaching of Confucius, and Que Xuan's answer is also watertight.
Seeing that there was no emotion on Que Xuan's face, Yu Xian knew that most of the time this guy had not realized that Xuzhou was already on the crater, and had not realized the huge opportunities here.
Yu Xian simply revealed some of the inside story directly to him, "The literary publisher may not know much about this Buddhism. This Mahayana Buddhism is different from Theravada Buddhism. As a multi-Buddha pantheon, Mahayana Buddhism pursues not only people's beliefs, but also
Control of the secular world. Only by controlling more people and land can they squeeze the living space of other people and force them to rely on Buddhism."
"The real ruler of Mahayana Buddhism is the reincarnation king who controls the secular world. When their foundation in Xuzhou gradually becomes stronger, they will definitely seek to establish an earthly Buddhist kingdom in Xuzhou and control this land with their reincarnation king."
After Que Xuan heard this, he swallowed dryly and said, "This is not something that lower officials should worry about. And with Tao Zhou Mu in Xuzhou, it is naturally as stable as Mount Tai."
Yu Xian smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Zuo Rong won't show everything to Tao Qian, and looking at the situation in front of him, Tao Qian can't easily save it."
Only then did Que Xuan understand that Xuzhou's depressive and stable situation was just an appearance, but in fact there was already an undercurrent. His eyes flickered, and then he became a little confused, trying to get Yu Xian to talk to him.
"Then I wonder why the Imperial Master is telling me this? It's something Taozhou Mu can't do anything about, so what can I, a literary master, do?"
Yu Xian encouraged him with hints, "If there must be this Supreme Buddha King, then why can't it be you?"
"I?!"
Que Xuan was shocked.
Yu Xian continued to encourage, "On the day of the Buddha Bathing Festival, the poor Taoists will destroy the Buddha Temple, destroy the Nine Mirror Pagoda, and suppress the arrogance of Buddhism. Once Xuzhou is in chaos, it will be the time when the dragon and snake rise up!"
"Que Xuan, what are you waiting for?!"
Que Xuan was so full of MMP that he didn't know how to say it.
No, you, a Taoist priest, incited a political strategist to rebel?
