Chapter 348 Yao Guangxiao: Lord Buddha, I have enlightened!
"The world is unified?"
The prime minister in black sat on the ground, feeling an unprecedented sense of absurdity. He pondered for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is already old."
What he meant was, is the emperor really old and confused? Why can he say such nonsense? If you can do it, do it. If you can't, Prince Zhu Gaojie has grown up now and has the ability to rule the world.
If it doesn't work, just pass the throne to the prince, and then wait until death as the supreme emperor, then the world will be peaceful.
However, Zhu Di asked as if he didn't understand: "What does the world's unity have to do with the prince's age?"
Yao Guangxiao had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the world's great unity is a Confucian theory. When I was studying in Confucianism, I also hunted for this so-called world's great unity. To put it bluntly, this is just a fantasy world made up by the Confucians.
That’s all, how can a fantasy world without any foundation be transformed from nothingness to reality?”
"In this concept of great harmony in the world, everyone is a saint, and everyone behaves like a sage, so there is a world of great harmony. But there are not so many saints in the world. So far, Confucianism has only
Five saints. If the truth of these five Confucian saints is true, the sage Confucius counts as one and the sub-sage Mencius counts as half. In fact, it is only one and a half. It is conceivable that human nature is evil, and if you want to make people do good,
How difficult it is.”
"The World of Great Harmony, haha, this is just a world fabricated by Confucianism. It cannot appear in reality at all."
Zhu Di thoughtfully continued: "But if so, with corresponding thoughts and beliefs, and a program as a standard, is it possible to have a world of great unity?"
Yao Guangxiao smiled: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
He was snickering in his heart, what ideological and belief program, this thing has no use, ideas cannot restrain the inherent evil of the human heart, if the world is left to human consciousness, it will undoubtedly push the world to the brink of destruction.
However, in the face of doubts, Zhu Di spoke about the Datong system he saw in the simulation and said: "Old monk, do you know what the world of Datong is?"
Yao Guangxiao: "...?"
…
Zhu Di spoke out the information expanded in the simulation one by one, and his mouth was dry by the end.
But Yao Guangxiao fell into deep thought.
He felt that his outlook on life had been dealt a devastating blow.
Overthrow the monarchy and establish an utopia.
Although Zhu Di saw these things, he could not understand what they meant. However, Yao Guangxiao understood them.
Originally he regarded this sentence as a joke, but after listening to a series of information, he suddenly felt as if he was the one who was chained and sitting in a well watching the sky.
"Old monk?"
Zhu Di saw that something was wrong with the monk in black, and asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"
"Old monk?"
"Come on, don't scare me. Why are you still mute?"
Suddenly, the black-clothed monk suddenly stood up. His naturally vicious face was now even more ferocious, and his old triangular eyes were filled with evil energy like a sick tiger. He pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the ground, shouting crazily, "
That’s it, that’s it!”
"The world will be unified, abolish the imperial system!"
"So that's it, I understand!"
"Lord Buddha, I have enlightened!"
Zhu Di was frightened and squatted on the ground, dumbfounded: "It's bad, the old monk is crazy!"
"Is this world of Datong so shocking? Why did the old monk become hysterical all of a sudden? He is so stupid!"
But Yao Guangxiao still laughed like crazy and said: "I have lived in vain all my life without knowing myself, sitting in a well and looking at the sky. I didn't realize the truth until I was about to die. I am really the most pitiful person in the world!"
"Yao Guangxiao, you are really the most stupid person in the world!"
"The Buddha became enlightened, and the Buddha cried."
Zhu Di shook his head and murmured: "You are such a good monk, why are you so crazy?"
…
February in Yangzhou is the season for bathing in the spring breeze and coolness, but Kang Zhifu only felt that his mouth was dry and his head was dripping with sweat.
In front of him, a raging fire broke out in the Yangzhou granary, the houses collapsed, black smoke billowed, and everything was burned in the fire.
Zhu Gaojie stood beside him, calmly looking at the granary that collapsed in the fire, and asked: "What is the cause of the fire?"
Yangzhou Granary is gone.
There was a sudden fire, and by the time they arrived, the granary had been burned to ashes.
This sounds unrealistic. Hundreds of firemen are stationed in the Yangzhou granary all year round to prevent fires. Not only that, when the granary is digging the cellar, it is also necessary to dry the cellar walls with fire, and then use plant ash, wooden boards, mats, and bran.
, mats and other five layers of moisture-proof, thermal insulation and fresh-keeping measures.
Such a tightly guarded granary suddenly caught fire, and hundreds of fire soldiers were as invisible as blind men. What's even more amazing is that after the fire, all the people in the granary survived, and not a single grain of food was left.
So far, there is no reason for the fire, and Zhu Gaojie only finds it funny.
Magistrate Kang hesitated for a moment and said: "The people in the granary said that the cause of the fire was... the fire dragon burning the granary."
Zhu Gaojie thought he heard wrongly: "What did you say?"
Under the pressure, Magistrate Kang said tremblingly: "According to the soldiers guarding the scene of the crime, they saw two fire dragons dancing on the granary that night, which means that the Yangzhou granary was affected by the fire dragon."
Zhu Gaojie chuckled lightly and left with his hands behind his back.
The fire dragon burns the warehouse and deceives fools?
Even a dog wouldn't believe this, let alone a human being. Such despicable methods could be used, and Zhu Gaojie really didn't know how to evaluate it.
Magistrate Kang looked at the leaving figure of the Crown Prince, his face turned red. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Where is the Master?"
The people around looked at each other: "I don't know."
Magistrate Kang couldn't bear it any longer and roared: "Find this person quickly! How can I explain this matter to His Highness the Crown Prince if I don't give you an answer?"
…
Above the Fan Mansion, the Master was smiling and drinking tea with the Fan clan leader.
Patriarch Fan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Master, I've underestimated you. The fire dragon is burning the warehouse. Haha, how did you come up with this idea?"
"Hey, it's not worth mentioning. If we didn't rely on Mr. Fan's connections, all the people in the granary are ours, and things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
The master waved his hand and said, "Mr. Fan, according to your plan, all the grain in the granary has been transferred to Fan's granary in Huai'an Mansion, and all the old grain is burned to deal with the prince.
"Master."
"Thank you for your hard work, Master."
The head of the Fan family nodded with satisfaction, took out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it to the other party, "This is the banknote from my Fan's business. You can take this banknote to any of my Fan's banks."
That’s equivalent to thirty thousand taels of silver.”
The master accepted it without any courtesy. It was his hard-earned money and he deserved it. It would be foolish to refuse.
After collecting the money, the other party can feel at ease and feel that he is in the same boat.
The Fan clan leader nodded slightly: "Master, you don't need me to teach you what to do next, right?"
The master chuckled and said, "Mr. Fan, please don't worry."
But he turned around and asked worriedly, "Mr. Fan, if we are so hostile to the Crown Prince, we might cause murder. As Magistrate Kang said, this Crown Prince is not a good person."
The head of the Fan clan waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, do you really think that the seventeenth family in Yangzhou is fighting against this prince? To tell you the truth, in Yangzhou, our seventeenth family can dominate
Fu, even the prefect is nothing in our eyes, but in the eyes of the prince, a dragon crossing the river, are we nothing?"
The master was horrified: "Then if we still offend the prince like this, aren't we asking for death?"
"Oh, your vision is too short-sighted."
Patriarch Fan's eyes revealed a scheming edge, "This prince's enemies are not just our Yangzhou Seventeenth Family. He has many enemies. In front of his enemies, we are just
An ant pushed onto the table."
"However, even ants have the fighting spirit to poke a hole in the sky. Even trapped animals will fight, let alone humans. Let them fight back and forth, and we will enjoy the benefits of the fishermen."
"I have already written to the big shots in Nanjing and got a reply. They are willing to fully support us. What are you afraid of? Anyway, someone will tell us the truth."
…
In the upper room of the official residence, Yu Qian looked at Zhu Gaojie who was still drinking tea leisurely, and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, aren't you in a hurry?"
Zhu Gaojie asked: "Afraid, why are you anxious?"
Yu Qian said: "The fire dragon burned the granary. This is obviously a pretense created by someone. The imperial court is coming to collect grain. It's just that they are unwilling to pay. They actually burned the granary and pulled out the teeth from the imperial court. Such debauchery."
This action is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the imperial court!"
"so what?"
Zhu Gaojie put down his tea cup and said calmly, "You should have been mentally prepared before coming here. The other party will not compromise honestly. They set fire to the warehouse now to make their attitude clear and urge me to return to Beijing. They want to tell me
For me, all the benefits have been distributed by them, and they will not give me another share. Why should I be angry about such a simple reason?"
"Students all understand this truth, but we just let them ride on it like this?"
Yu Qian couldn't understand, "Don't we fight back?"
Zhu Gaojie couldn't help but chuckle: "Haha..."
Yu Qian was puzzled: "Why are you laughing, sir?"
"I'm laughing at you, you are still too immature."
Zhu Gaojie said calmly, "If a dog bites you, will it help if you bite it back? What you should do is to grab the dog's head, and then use a shovel to beat out its brains."
"If you don't take action, you won't take action. If you do, you will be killed. Now is not the time."
"Just wait. If you want to destroy it, you must first expand it."
Yu Qian sighed. After all, he did not have the level of his husband. He just felt that he was in the clouds and fog.
Not long after, someone came to visit me. He was the deputy magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture and the deputy of Kang Prefecture.
"Prince, Governor Kang is in jail!"
…
Zhu Gaojie walked into the Yangzhou Prison, looked around, and saw Magistrate Kang in prison uniform in a cell.
Magistrate Kang was sitting on the earthen bed in the cell, with disheveled hair. He raised his head and glanced at Zhu Gaojie. He cupped his hands expressionlessly and stopped talking.
Zhu Gaojie shook his head, turned around and asked the jailer: "Why should Governor Kang be imprisoned? What is his crime? Whose order is this!"
Yangzhou is under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili. Nanzhili refers to the collective name of Nanjing and surrounding prefectures and Zhili prefectures. It does not have the jurisdiction of the chief envoy. The fourteen prefectures of Nanzhili and the four Zhili prefectures are unified at the prefectural level and belong to the six ministries.
Direct management.
In other words, in Yangzhou, Magistrate Kang is the highest-ranking chief executive, and there are no three jurisdictions above him. Who can put him in jail?
The jailer replied: "It was an order from the Six Ministries of Nanjing, saying that Prefect Kang was the mastermind behind the fire dragon burning the warehouse."
"Nanjing Six Parts?"
Zhu Gaojiu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Nanjing Six Ministries, okay, I am alone in Yangzhou, and Beijing Six Ministries don't dare to point fingers. Nanjing Six Ministries actually have the courage to bypass Gu and directly issue an order to jail the Yangzhou prefect. How courageous."
He waved his sleeves and left, followed closely by Yu Qian.
After this operation, Brother Qian was still confused. He simply couldn't understand why Governor Kang was suddenly imprisoned and how this matter was related to the Sixth Department of Nanjing.
He quickly asked: "Sir, what does this mean? Is Magistrate Kang really the mastermind behind the fire dragon burning the warehouse?"
"That's bullshit. Someone wants to use Governor Kang's head to demonstrate against Gu Gu!"
Zhu Gaojiu said coldly, "I have told you a long time ago that the Yangzhou Seventeenth Family represents not only the interests of the Yangzhou aristocratic families. When I come to the south to collect grain and grass, I want to cut the flesh from all the aristocratic families. The Yangzhou Seventeenth Family
The family represents the interests of the entire southern aristocratic family, and behind them is the support of the entire southern aristocratic family. Then guess who is the largest aristocratic family in the south?"
Yu Qian had an epiphany: "Is it Nanjing?"
"You finally have your wits about you."
Zhu Gaojie said indifferently, "Nanjing is the ancient capital of six dynasties. Even the Ming Dynasty was founded in Nanjing. The families of the old and new dynasties are intertwined in Nanjing. The founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty and the founding fathers of Jingnan all took root in Nanjing. The Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing.
, As soon as Gu He and the Emperor left, the Six Ministries of Nanjing were already in ruins and were completely occupied by all forces. Do you think they can watch eagerly as Gu shows his power in the south? "
"The imprisonment of Governor Kang is the work of those people in Nanjing. In this way, their wolfish ambitions are undoubtedly demonstrated. If I don't leave, I am afraid that the next person they will take action will not be Governor Kang, but me, the crown prince."
Yu Qian was furious: "How dare he! Don't worry, sir, as long as the student is alive, he will be protected. If you want to attack him, you must first step over my body, Yu Qian!"
Zhu Gaojie patted Yu Qian on the shoulder: "Boy, you should stand behind Gu."
"The wind and waves coming this time are so strong that you can't stop them."
"This is a storm caused by Gu, and it is up to Gu to fight against it head on."
