Chapter 494: All things in the land, Shennong is immortal
"Lord Xinghun, what were you looking at just now?" Li Si asked softly.
"It's nothing, I just saw an interesting person and a powerful person." Xinghun said.
"Oh, Lord Xinghun is actually called powerful? It seems that he is indeed an incredible person."
"Your Excellency, Xiang Guo, is overly praised. The world is so big, there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the sky."
"This is the first time I have seen Mr. Xinghun so humble." Li Si smiled and said.
Xinghun smiled softly and said: "This time Mr. Xiangguo came to Songhai under His Majesty's order. It seems that it has affected many people's hearts, so that all the forces are ready to take action."
"It doesn't matter. Under the shadow of the empire, those people are just scumbags and will be hunted down by the empire sooner or later." Li Si said.
Li Si came to Songhai, no doubt, because of the mirage.
Ying Zheng attached great importance to the matter of the mirage, which had the opportunity to obtain immortality. He not only sent Prime Minister Li Si as the first person to take charge of the affairs, but also later sent his son Fusu to supervise. In addition, Meng Tian led the most elite golden fire cavalry of the Meng family army.
On standby, Zhao Gao leads the Six Sword Slaves to collect intelligence. The Yin Yang Family’s Eastern Emperor Taiyi and below, Moon God, Star Soul and other high-end combat forces are here. Shadow Secret Guard Zhang Han, Taoist Master Xiaomeng, famous master Gongsun Linglong and others tend to be in conflict with the empire.
People...have a tendency to tolerate mirage.
"The remnants of the Mohist family are indeed not worth mentioning, but..." Xinghun paused and said: "Confucianism has been rooted in Songhai for hundreds of years. The foundation is deep, but it is not easy to deal with."
"Confucianism..." Li Si's eyes flickered and he did not speak. Instead, he raised his head and looked in the direction of Songhai Little Sage Village. His eyes were particularly complicated.
Li Si is a disciple of Confucianism. In the past, he and Han Fei studied under Xunzi, who later became the later sage of Confucianism. But this time when he came to Songhai, in addition to the most important task of protecting the mirage, Li Si also had another task -
—Dealing with Confucianism.
Among the hundreds of schools of thought, Confucianism and Mohism are the two most prominent schools and the most powerful forces. Now that Mohism has been destroyed, it is Confucianism’s turn.
Compared with Mohism, Confucianism was more like a thorn in Ying Zheng's back, because compared to Mohism's armed confrontation, Confucianism has always been unwilling to recognize the legitimacy of Ying Zheng's regime and often privately criticized the empire. However, Confucianism has the power to influence the entire social public opinion.
Power is like a dull knife cutting meat or warm water boiling a frog. How can Ying Zheng feel at ease if he doesn't kill Confucianism?
It is true that Li Si studied under Xunzi, but his feelings about Confucianism are also very complicated, because he is not liked very much by his master Xunzi. On the contrary, his junior brother Han Fei, who has always been jealous, is the most loved by Xunzi...
…
"Master, look!" Yu Ziqi pointed to a wall in a downtown area of Songhai. There were portraits of people wanted by the empire, including people from the Mo family, and among them there was a very special and unique one - Mo
No.
Among Mo Fei, Shi Lan, and Yu Ziqi who were fighting in the mirage more than ten days ago, only Mo Fei was on the wanted list of the empire.
"Thirty thousand taels of gold bounty?" Mo Fei was quite dissatisfied: "Doesn't this underestimate me? Am I worth this little money?"
Now it seems that the Yin and Yang family cannot bear the responsibility for the destruction of the mirage, so they have to hand over his information about Murphy.
It was impossible for Xinghun not to recognize him, but due to his strength, he was not sure of victory, so he did not take action for the time being.
"I also feel that with your ability, even if you offer a reward of 100,000 gold, you are looking down on you. Why not just offer 30,000 gold?" A gentle voice sounded from behind the three of Mo Fei.
The three of them, Mo Fei, turned their heads and saw a handsome man in a plain white Confucian robe looking at the three of them with a smile - Zhang Liang, the third leader of the Confucian family.
Zhang Liang, a radical young man with great ambitions, has a free and uninhibited appearance. He was born in South Korea, and his family has been the prime minister for five generations. After Qin unified the world, he became the third head of the Songhai Confucian sage Zhuang, together with his senior brother Fu Nian and his second senior brother Yan Lu.
They are collectively known as the "Three Heroes of Qilu".
Although he was a disciple of Confucianism, his character and knowledge were consistent with the Mohist teachings of generosity to the world. When the Mohists were in difficulty, he stepped forward and secretly helped the Mohists and other anti-Qin forces, and insisted that Confucianism and Mohism should not exclude each other.
Mo Fei was not surprised to see Zhang Liang, because in Songhai, Confucianism's control even exceeded that of the empire. Otherwise, Ying Zheng would not have regarded Confucianism as a thorn in his side, and specially asked Fusu and Li Si to do it.
Confucianism.
"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang Liang." Murphy smiled and nodded.
When they were in the Mohist government city, Mo Fei and Zhang Liang met. However, the situation was urgent at that time. The government city was dangerously occupied by the empire, and even the entire city was surrounded by the Qin army. So everyone was busy breaking out of the siege.
We know each other's thoughts, but it's just a one-time acquaintance.
"Sir, you caused a big mirage a few days ago, which caused Songhai to appear calm on the surface, but secretly stirred up a big storm," Zhang Liang said.
"There is no other way. The Yin and Yang family arrested me, a member of Shushan, and they had no choice but to start a war." Mo Fei spread his hands and said.
Shi Lan and Yu Ziqi had expressionless faces. Most of their tribesmen had been arranged by Mo Fei, so even if Mo Fei went around killing people and setting fires in the name of Shushan, they might have to take over.
"Really?" Zhang Liang glanced at Shi Lan and Yu Ziqi behind Mo Fei thoughtfully, and did not continue the topic, but said: "Mr. Mo Fei, today is not only the day when Prime Minister Li Si went to Songhai
It just so happens that today is when my colleagues from the Mohist family are arriving in Songhai, and I am about to meet with you all from the Mohist family. Will you come with me, sir?"
Although what Zhang Liang said was neither salty nor mild, Mo Fei always felt that Zhang Liang came here just for him today.
Under that smile that makes people feel like spring breeze, there is always hidden...eagerness for him.
However, the Mo family and others are here. It's okay if they don't know, but it seems a bit bad if they know but don't go to see them.
So Mo Fei had nothing to do, so he might as well follow Zhang Liang to meet his old friends.
Anyway, it should still be some time before the mirage enters the sea.
When they fall, they will go and wipe out all the Yin and Yang families.
…
"Waiter, some tea." Zhang Liang led Mo Fei and the others into an inn. He sat down at a table unceremoniously, ordered a pot of tea and snacks, and chatted and laughed with Mo Fei and the others.
, not long after, he patted his head and seemed to remember something he had accidentally forgotten, and left with the three of them, Murphy.
After leaving Youjian Inn, not long after, Zhang Liang and Mo Fei came back again and left through the back door of Youjian Inn. They were greeted by Robber Zhi who greeted them at the back door.
"Mr. Mo Fei, Mr. Zhang Liang, Miss Shi Lan, it's been a long time since we last met." Thief Zhi cupped his hands and said with a smile, welcoming Mo Fei and the others through the door.
Then Pian Zhi looked at the unfamiliar face of Yu Ziqi behind Mo Fei, and asked curiously: "Who is this brother?"
"Commander Robber Zhi, this is not the place to talk. We'd better go in and talk later." Zhang Liang reminded with a smile.
Several people entered an inn.
"His name is Yu Ziqi, he is also a member of Yu Yuan's guard, and he is Xiao Yu's biological brother." Mo Fei said.
"And you don't know that for this reason, Mr. Murphy went to the mirage alone, kidnapped Mrs. Xiang, one of the Five Spirits of the Yin-Yang family, and beat the owner of the mirage, Yun Zhongjun, to the point of being seriously injured and dying, causing a big commotion." Zhang
Liang added.
In the secret room of Youjian Inn, Mo Fei introduced Yu Ziqi's identity to everyone in the Mo family.
The people present included the eight Mohist leaders Gao Jianli, Xue Nu, Big Iron Hammer, Robber Zhi, Duan Murong, Master Ban, Xu Fuzi, and Pao Ding, as well as the military strategists Fan Zeng, Xiang Liang, Xiang Shaoyu, and the counselors of the Xiang clan.
Gai Nie and the Confucian Zhang Liang, and of course Shushan Shilan, Yu Ziqi and Mo Fei, it was a gathering of heroes.
After the greetings, Zhang Liang sighed and said: "Everyone, there has been an undercurrent in Songhai recently. The turmoil is not small. The Mohist government city has been destroyed. The Mohist influence in the world has been greatly weakened. The threat in Yingzheng's heart has been weakened. If so,
If the data is good, then it will be Confucianism’s turn to face the imperial army.”
The Mohist leaders looked at each other and said, "Confucianism does not confront the empire head-on, so will it be regarded as a target by the empire?"
"To be honest with you, Prime Minister Li Si came to Songhai today, and as early as two days ago, he sent a greeting to Xiaoshengxian Manor and will visit Xiaoshengxian Manor tomorrow, fearing that the visitor will be unkind."
"No wonder!" Cook Ding patted his head and said, "During this period, there have been many more troops coming and going in the city than usual, and judging from the large number of troops, they are not local garrisons. The number of troops stationed in Songhai has at least doubled compared to before.
The number of visits continued to increase, and the government palace was even replaced by heavy armored troops to garrison. I guessed that maybe a big shot came to ask for Sanghai, but I didn't expect it to be Prime Minister Li Si."
"But Li Si seems to be a Confucian disciple as well? Does he want to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors?"
"Although Li Si is my uncle's disciple, he has a bad relationship with me and has not had any contact with Confucianism for many years." Zhang Liang said: "Perhaps he will not directly bury Confucianism, but he will definitely bury the entire Confucian family.
The bane of Confucianism.”
But when Zhang Liang said this, he did not ask the Mohist leaders to help him find a way to deal with Li Si. After all, the Mohist family only knew how to fight and kill, with little use of brains or planning of strategies... but he had another purpose.
"However, I, the Confucian, always keep my peace. Although I have foresight, there is no temporary disaster..." Zhang Liang asked: "On your way to Sanghai, can you hear about the changes in the farmhouse?"
The peasant family respects the ancient Shennong family, is proficient in the art of five grains, and adheres to the creed of "the land is rich in all things, Shen Nong is immortal, generals, ministers, princes, would rather have seeds". Disciples are all over the world, and knights and hermits emerge in large numbers. Many upright and chivalrous people, but their whereabouts are nowhere to be found.
It is estimated that he often lives in seclusion in the fields and markets, not seeking to learn and reach the princes. He is the sect with the largest number of disciples among hundreds of scholars.
The leaders of the past dynasties are all called the leader of the peasant family. Tian Guang of the Yan State was once the leader of the peasant family. He jointly planned the "Qinglong Project" with Changping Jun of the Chu State, Yan Dan of the Yan State, and Xiang Yan of the Xiang clan. With the Tian clan as the ancestral family,
It has now been split into two factions, the Zhu clan and the Tian clan.
It is divided into six halls - Kui Wei Hall, Chiyou Hall, Lieshan Hall, Siyue Hall, Gonggong Hall, and Shennong Hall. Each of the six halls is incompetent, with Tian Meng, the leader of Lieshan Hall, and Zhu Jia, the leader of Shennong Hall, being the strongest.
Among them, Tian Mi, the leader of Kuei Hall, is the weakest. In addition, Tian Ci, the second son of Lieshan Hall, who wields the famous sword, is called "the best master in the peasant family".
"Mr. Zhang Liang, we have gone through great changes and have not paid attention to outside news for a while. I wonder what changes have occurred in the farmhouse?" Gao Jianli said.
"Shennong Ling, who had disappeared from the farm for many years, suddenly appeared in the world."
"The Shennong Order? It is the legendary token of the top leader of the farm family, Xiakui. It can command the six halls of the farm family. Every time the token appears, it will set off a bloody storm in the world. The Shennong Order?"
"That's right." Zhang Liang nodded and said: "The peasant family is the largest group of scholars, with nine farmers and merchants, a mixture of dragons and snakes. The current knight leader Tian Guang disappeared mysteriously three years ago, and the peasant families are leaderless.
. Now that Shennong has returned, things may not be as simple as they seem."
"I suspect that on the surface, the empire is targeting Confucianism as its next target, but in fact, it is secretly preparing to deal with peasants. Perhaps it is simply to advance from both ends. After all, the empire has such strength. Most of the peasant disciples are from poor backgrounds, which is naturally in conflict with the empire's military merit system.
Xia Kuai Tian Guang is the backbone of the anti-Qin force, so in the future actions of the anti-Qin alliance, he is actually a friend that can be won over, rather than an enemy. The Confucian family is now being targeted by the empire and is unable to do anything, so I want to ask friends from the Mohist family to help.
Check out the situation at the farmhouse."
Mo Fei listened boredly as Zhang Liang and everyone in the Mo family talked nonsense.
With God's perspective, Mo Fei certainly knew that the Shennong Order was actually issued by the "Net" organization of Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, with the purpose of triggering internal fighting among farmers and taking the opportunity to eradicate the farmers. The purpose was not because Ying Zheng set his sights on
The Nong family is because Fusu's mother is a princess of Chu and the sister of Changping Jun, and Chang Ping Jun has a close relationship with the Nong family. The Nong family is naturally a force that favors Fusu. If the Nong family is removed, Fusu can be weakened.
The purpose of the power is to eventually eradicate the young master Fusu and support the young master Hu Hai to ascend to power.
For this reason, Zhao Gao is not fighting alone. He relies on Hu Hai as a link. The Wang family, where Wang Jian's grandson Wang Li lives, has long twisted Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, and Wang Li into a powerful political group.
The three of them still have a good chance of winning.
On the surface, Fusu, as the eldest son of Yingzheng, naturally has great righteousness, but Fusu has the blood of Chu State, which is a very taboo thing in Qin State, because Fusu's uncle Changping Jun stabbed Ying at a critical moment.
Zheng Yida was one of the people Ying Zheng hated the most. The Chu State itself also left too many bad memories for the Qin State.
Therefore, Fusu's strength mainly comes from the support of Meng Tian's Meng family and his unexplained righteousness. However, in Hu Hai, he obtained the support of Wang Li's Wang family and Ying Zheng's extremely trusted favor.
Zhao Gao supported it. Although he was still at a disadvantage, he still had the strength to fight.
In fact, the Confucians were mainly dealt with by Fusu and Li Si, while the peasants were dealt with by Luo Wen and the Wang family, or Hu Hai. They were two completely different forces.
If we can learn the inside story, with Zhang Liang's wisdom, we may be able to use his strength to fight...
"Mr. Murphy? Can you take a look at this?"
Murphy came back to his senses and saw everyone looking at him inexplicably.
What do you mean, there is something about me here?
