Humane Yongchang

Chapter 368

Jing Ke was very discerning, and after eating the barbecue, he got up and left.

But Chen Sheng couldn't fall asleep anymore, and his mind was full of how to balance the weight between the evil and the contention of a hundred schools of thought.

His purpose is still very clear, that is, to use the power of Baijia to curb the evil spirits.

And they can't let the Baijia take advantage of the quelling of the evil spirits to sit on the throne under the rule of Han Ting...

It must be hard.

Just from the looks of it, it feels a bit like the horses are required to run and the horses not to graze.

But he had actually come up with a solution before.

That's a long time.

On the one hand, it buys time for the people of the Han court to buffer, and subtly resolves the impact of the Hundred Schools of thought on their simple world outlook.

On the one hand, it guides the internal strife of hundreds of schools, so that they have the energy to move inward, slow down the pace of preaching, and slow down the strength of preaching.

He's almost done...

But I never imagined that at this juncture, the extraterritorial monsters jumped out and disrupted the situation!

Right now, he really can no longer suppress Confucianism and eliminate the results of their preaching.

After all, the lesser of two evils.

Compared with the great harm of the foreign monsters diverting the luck of the human race, which shakes the foundation of the human race in Kyushu, it is only a small problem that the essence of Confucianism is integrated into the background of the Han court!

But if he was asked to give up like this, he was determined not to.

After all, this is a big issue involving the political system and ideology!
If he gave up so easily, how could he be worthy of the hundreds of thousands of red-shirted soldiers who fought and sacrificed blood for their ideas?
What face will he have in the future, and then lead them to shout out the phrase "The prince and general Xiangning have a seed"?
What is the difference between him, Chen Sheng, and the people-eating officials and dignitaries in Kyushu?
It's not a matter of being maverick or not.

Nor was he trying to prove how amazing he was.

Chen Sheng just didn't want the words he said to become stinky bullshit!
I don't even want to become a demon who coaxed tens of thousands of people to shed blood and sacrifice for their own interests!

'There will always be a way...'

He rubbed his temples with a headache, and secretly encouraged himself: 'There are always more ways than difficulties! '

When Zhao Qing saw that Chen Sheng was rubbing his temples again, he knew that something must have happened to him, but she also knew that she couldn't help Chen Sheng, so she could only interrupt in a distressed voice: "Darlang, I want to eat tonight. What do you want? Big sister will prepare it for you..."

Chen Sheng replied casually without looking back: "Chicken noodles."

His voice was not loud, Zhao Qing could only clear the word "chicken", and asked suspiciously, "Do you still want to eat chicken?"

Chen Sheng raised his voice and corrected: "It's chicken noodles, didn't we just stew a big rooster yesterday? Let's keep the rest for when Dad comes back, um, by the way, the eldest sister of the uncle's family will be here soon. It's in Chen County, you can eat it when the elder sister arrives..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something.

Zhao Qing, who was in the room, muttered in his heart: 'Is the chicken noodles too vegetarian, Dalang has lost weight recently... Would you like to stop stewing the hoof hoof? '

Before she could make up her mind, Chen Sheng, who was paralyzed on the rocking chair, had already kicked up with a carp, and rushed to Zhao Qing like a gust of wind, picked her up and "popped" and nibbled on her cheek: "Eldest sister, you really are My lucky star!"

Zhao Qing's face suddenly turned as red as if he had applied too much rouge, he shyly lowered his head and slapped Chen Sheng's chest lightly, and said coquettishly, "Ayu is still there..."

Ah Yu, who was still battling with the book, silently changed his direction and said angrily, "I can't see anything."

Chen Sheng let go of Zhao Qing, and excitedly circled back and forth in the courtyard: "How come I didn't expect that, they say that blocking is worse than sparse, can't stop his Confucian preaching, and distorts the essence of his Confucianism, he is not a Confucianist Propaganda of 'propriety, music' and 'benevolence' No matter how bad it is, it can distract their energy and slow down their preaching efforts, right?"

"What did you say about Whispering?"

"Chao Wendao, Xi can die!"

"If you know the way to your house in the morning, you will die in the evening!"

"Such an easy-to-understand, virtuous, and catchy explanation is easier to spread than their stinky and long explanation like an old woman's foot-binding cloth?"

Confucianism has been rooted in Chinese civilization and spread for more than 2000 years, so it naturally has its excellence.

Both Chen Sheng and Huang were downright descendants of Yan and Huang. They were deeply influenced by Confucianism. Naturally, it was impossible for him to oppose all the essence of Confucianism in a one-size-fits-all manner. All Confucian people are either stupid or bad, or else they are both stupid and bad!
What Chen Sheng opposes is only the dross of Confucianism: such as etiquette, and the weakness and unrealistic nature of empty talk.

In his design, the two theories of Legalism and Confucianism should be the two legs of the Han court's development, and both hands must be grasped and both hands must be hard.

Just because of the natural advantages of Confucianism in education and propaganda, in order to prevent these two legs from becoming long and short legs, Chen Shengcai had to suppress Confucianism in the early stage, and after the foundation of Legalism in the Han court was stabilized, let go of Confucianism. Righteous into the Han court.

This sequence is very important!

Legalists come first, then the law comes first.

Confucianism comes first, then morality comes first.

Chen Sheng is very clear that even the law based on a powerful and strict violent institution is not enough to restrain and deter the general public, let alone a morality that depends entirely on self-cultivation?

When morality is cultivated by law, both law and morality exist.

If morality strengthens the law, then both morality and the law will perish.

Therefore, to properly distort the essence of Confucianism, for Chen Sheng, the opposite is just right!

……

Chen Shengcai wandered around the courtyard for three or four times and recalled many quotations from "Whispering Confessions".

Such as: three people, there must be my teacher - three people together, as long as there is me, the combat power is equivalent to a teacher!

If a gentleman is not serious, he is not prestige - if you hit someone, you have to do it hard, and if you don't let others treat you, you won't be respectful enough!
Zi sighed, "The dead are so stubborn that they don't give up day and night - Confucius sighed that those who came to challenge him have fallen, but no matter day or night, there are still challengers who come to die!

Standing at thirty, not confused at forty, knowing the mandate of heaven at fifty, obedient to the ear at sixty, obeying what I believe at seventy, not overstepping the line - only thirty people are worthy of me to stand up and fight, if there are forty people, I will rush I didn't hesitate to go up to fight. If fifty people would be beaten by me, I would think that I had met their destiny. If sixty people said good things in my ear, I would be able to calm down and stop fighting. If seventy people besieged me, I can kill whatever I want.

'Wait, wait, there's another very troublesome question! '

Chen Sheng resisted the urge to write quickly, sat back on the rocking chair and lifted his feet off the ground, allowing his IQ to regain the high ground: 'According to the sage's market, that Confucius is very likely still alive, I distorted his theory I don't even recognize him in this look. He wouldn't be so angry that he would come to Chen County and set up a chariot to run over me, right?He is a saint of the human race, and the emperor's qi can't protect me...'

'Shouldn't it be?I'm also a king, and I'm still a king who protects the body with royal energy. Isn't his old man the most important thing about 'ceremony and music'? '

'Shouldn't be...? '

This kind of thing can't stand pondering, and the more Chen Sheng ponders, the colder the back of his head feels.

But even if he had a cold, he quickly figured out that doing this would at most be a severe beating!
It's like he can't suppress Confucianism, it's for the sake of Kyushu's overall situation.

He Chen Sheng has taken a step by step. Today, he is qualified to say 'I am the overall situation'!
As far as the power in his hands now, his importance to Kyushu is no less than that of Ji Qin, the son of the emperor who died not long ago, and even the troubles caused by his sudden and sudden death must be more than Ji Qin. powerful!

If the sage Kong doesn't even have such a big picture, can he become a sage?

"Done!"

Chen Sheng gritted his back molars, smashed his fists heavily, and said: "It's a great beating. It's a good deal for me, Han Ting, to stay in peace for a long time!"

Well, even though he expected that he might be severely beaten because of this, Chen Sheng didn't have the slightest sense of anger.

After all, he was the one who didn't do anything by himself...

"Squeak."

Just as Chen Sheng made up his mind, he heard the courtyard door open, and when he fixed his eyes, he saw Chen Feng sticking out his head and looking into the courtyard.

"What are you?"

Chen Sheng beckoned overjoyedly: "Come here quickly, I have something to send someone to look for you!"

When Chen Feng saw him, he smiled hehely, pushed open the door and trotted in swiftly, pinching his palms and saying, "My minister Chen Feng..."

Chen Sheng slapped his head crookedly with a slap: "What are you pretending to be like at home... Look at you, you just entered the city?"

Chen Feng's body is covered with dust, and the dirt on his face can be scraped off two or two. At a glance, he knows that at least he has to ride a horse for dozens of miles.

"Yes!"

Chen Feng nodded: "As soon as I entered the city, I heard from the guards' brothers that the eldest brother had returned, so he came directly."

Chen Sheng got up and pressed him on the small bench that Jing Ke had just made. He turned around and shouted loudly, "Ayu, give your second brother a basin of wash water, eldest sister, give the younger second a bowl of noodles!"

"Hey!"

The two sisters responded in unison, put down the scroll and cloak in their hands, and stood up.

Chen Feng looked at Zhao Qing and Ayu, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, sister Ayu."

Ah Yu smiled and showed a tiger tooth and waved his hand.

Zhao Qing put on his hips, glared at him angrily, and scolded: "Just you bastard, you are more polite when you are young, what's the matter, my sister-in-law is just an outsider?"

Chen Feng repeatedly told forgiveness: "We know it's wrong, we know it's wrong, don't take it offense, sister-in-law!"

Zhao Qing raised his face, clenched his fists and said, "Dalang, beat him!"

Chen Sheng slapped Chen Feng's head crookedly again without hesitation.

Chen Feng scratched his head and said honestly, "Okay...sister-in-law, I want to eat three chickens!"

"It's almost there!"

Only then did Zhao Qing nodded with satisfaction, and immediately even he couldn't help showing a smile.

After Zhao Qing hurriedly walked towards the kitchen, Chen Shengcai asked with a smile, "Have you finished your work in Xuzhou?"

Chen Feng nodded: "Almost, my army has successfully taken over the entire territory of Xuzhou, [-] soldiers have been surrendered, and they are already escorted back to Chen County in batches. I have sent someone to inform Minister Li in advance and ask him to be ready to respond... "

Chen Sheng thoughtfully knocked on the armrest of the seat and asked, "Isn't there any trouble?"

Chen Fengxin understood and replied: "Zhang Liang, the general of Taiping Dao Tiangong, once sent an envoy to Xuzhou to visit General Meng through Qingzhou, and General Meng cut off the head of the envoy and hung it above the Yuanmen, and there were many aristocratic families in Xuzhou. The second time I invited General Meng to a banquet, General Meng refused, and all the salutations were handed over to my Special Warfare Bureau, and I asked my Special Warfare Bureau to focus on the investigation in the future."

Chen Sheng shook his head lightly, and said lightly, "Meng Tian still doesn't believe me enough, if he believes in me enough, he should first accept Zhang Liang and those aristocratic families in Xuzhou, and try to find out what they are, if they don't agree. useful?"

Chen Feng replied honestly: "I also suggested that to General Meng, but he said that eldest brother, you should be careful, if he sees Zhang Liang's messenger and goes to the banquet of those noble families, eldest brother, you will definitely take care of him in the future... …”

"Hahaha……"

Chen Sheng laughed out loud: "This Meng Tian is really interesting!"

Saying he was daring, he didn't even dare to see Zhang Liang and those aristocratic families.

Say he is timid, and he dares to say that Chen Sheng is careful in front of Chen Feng.

However, Meng Tian's way of dealing with these problems, although not ingenious, did make Chen Sheng feel very comfortable.

In the current feudal era where the powerful family in the world, the lowly people have already made their brains, and the people above can still sit together and sing, sing, and dance in a feudal era, Meng Tian can be so clear-cut and do not leave behind Han Ting's loyalty is not something that can be revealed with a "praiseworthy" sentence.

Chen Sheng had a few things in his mind, he shook his head slightly and said with a chuckle: "Let's not talk about the stall in Xuzhou, you just came to the city and didn't even go home and came to me, what's the urgency?"

Chen Feng nodded, and replied succinctly: "I received a report on the way back yesterday, Yangzhou Xiaoqi general Liu Ji, leading the army to Jingzhou, temporarily learned that he is going to Yizhou, whether this is the case, has been checked by secret agents. , will send the cable report back soon!"

"Ok?"

Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, and quickly figured out the ins and outs in his heart, and sighed sincerely: "This fellow is really a loach, he can punch holes and slip without losing his hand!"

Standing where he is now, looking at Liu Ji's actions, one can analyze at a glance why he gave up Yangzhou and marched westward.

Yangzhou is located in the southeast corner of Kyushu, with the sea in the southeast, Xuzhou in the north, Yanzhou and Yuzhou in the northwest, and Jingzhou in the west!
Judging from the map of Kyushu, you can tell at a glance that Yangzhou has been surrounded by the territory under the rule of Hanting, and the wave-fighting army in the west has not even joined the suppression of Hanting around Ji, so it is impossible for him to stand up for Liu Ji!

And according to a very simple conversion formula: Ren Xiao's 15 Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army can defeat his [-] Liu Ji Army, and the [-] Red Clothes Army can directly sink the [-] Xuzhou Yellow Turban Army led by Ren Xiao. It is not difficult to judge that as long as the Han court sends troops to Yangzhou, he will definitely not be able to stop it!
In fact, Chen Sheng did have plans to return the Luoyi class teacher he had discarded this time. After Hanting had initially digested Xuzhou and the northeastern counties of Yanzhou, he would free up his hands to clean up Liu Ji, an old man who followed him and picked up cheap goods. six.

Never thought that this fellow would be so decisive, seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately retreated.

This decision, even Chen Sheng is somewhat ashamed.

This is not humility. If Chen Sheng had Liu Ji's decision to assess the situation, he would have taken the Chen family with a bucket as early as when Tu Sui was heading north!
The main reason why Han Ting can develop to where he is today in such a short period of time is that Chen Sheng braved the bullet and survived one difficulty after another, winning one battle after another with disparity in military strength... …Just looking at the 30 red-clothed army under his command and the 30 tiger and cardinal army to be formed soon, more than [-]% of them are soldiers. It is not difficult to see that the development of the Han court is based on the wreckage of the fallen enemy .

Among them, the new military training method and the Political Department led by Li Zhong played an invaluable role.

If it weren't for the new military training method and the political department, the soldiers gathered in each battle of Hanting would be continuously transformed into a qualified new army in a concise and efficient manner, supporting Chen Sheng to deal with the increasingly large-scale battles, and Hanting would have supported it earlier stop!
Of course, Chen Sheng's ruthlessness and tenacity are the most important reasons for his ruthlessness and tenacity.

Otherwise, if he wants to "judgment the situation" like Liu Ji, there may be no Han Wang Chen Sheng in this world.

This may be the legend that stupid people have stupid blessings, but stupid people don't.

……

Chen Sheng tapped the armrest of the rocking chair and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you know where Liu Jijun is now?"

Chen Feng thought for a while and replied: "When the spy sent the news back, Liu Jijun had already entered Linchuan County, and counting the time, it is estimated that he is about to enter Luling County."

Chen Sheng frowned, sat back on the rocking chair, and sighed again: "You're really careful, don't give me the slightest chance!"

He has also studied the map of Yangzhou, and he still remembers the general location of the county.

Luling County is located in the southernmost part of Yangzhou, at the junction with Guiyang County in Jingzhou.

Liu Jijun walked from Luling to Guiyang. If he wanted to send troops to intercept him, he had to send troops to rush through Jingzhou and intercept Liu Jijun in the south of Jingzhou.

But Jingzhou is the territory of the wave-fighting army. This time, the old general Lian Po did not mix with Ji's surroundings to suppress his Hanting, which has already given him enough face to Chen Sheng, and then sending troops to their Jingzhou to fight, he really does not know what to do!
Now he only has the fighting strength of the First Red Army under his command, and he is barely close to the Wave Wave Army. If he really wants to fight the Wave Wave Army, it will only end in a lose-lose situation.

This loss of both sides is not the meaning of Han Ting paying a huge price and then achieving what he wants.

But Hanting will pay a huge price, and still can't achieve what he wants.

Because with Hanting's existing strength, it is simply not enough to penetrate the wave-fighting army and reach the southern part of Jingzhou.

All in all, it is a foregone conclusion that the tiger will return to the mountain!

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng rubbed his temples again with a headache, and thought to himself: 'The Hanzhong area should be in Yizhou, right? '

'Hey, it's no wonder that Liu Bei also went to Shu to take root, it turned out to be the way his ancestors walked! '

'and many more……'

'Ying Zheng returned to Yongzhou and inherited the foundation of his old Qin people! '

' Liu Bang ran to Yizhou and took back his Hanwang's hand. '

'And the territory of the Han court seems to be the territory of another time and space Zhang Chu King Chen Sheng, even if there is a discrepancy, it is not big...'

'What's the matter, why do you really become more and more like Qin and Han to communicate with each other? '

'Could it be that the revision of history is really irresistible?If you run off-track, you are almost splitting, can you come back? '

Chen Sheng carefully considered this issue for a while, and then overturned this view.

Now that King Ping of Zhou was able to rejuvenate Ji Zhou, he forcibly changed the enfeoffment system into a prefecture and county system, and continued Ji Zhou's rule for more than 500 years.

That means that even if the historical trend is really corrective, it is not impossible to confront!
At least shorten the time to more than 500 years, it can be fought!

Since it can be confronted, it is by means of each method!
Even if Ying Zhenglong returns to the sea and Liu Jihu goes to the deep mountains, so what?
In just two years, he Chen Sheng was able to develop Hanting to the point where the hard-hitting Ji Zhou and Tai Ping Dao's army of one million were victorious!

Is it possible that you are still afraid of two children of luck who are just starting out?

How can it be!

They don't even know what the three-five plan is!

……

"End face, end face!"

Zhao Qing's voice interrupted Chen Sheng's thinking.

Chen Sheng fixed his eyes, and saw that in the tray brought over by Zhao Qing, two sea bowls and two pairs of chopsticks were neatly visited.

Turning her body further, looking at the door of the kitchen, she saw that Ah Yu was also carrying a sea bowl that was bigger than her head.

Chen Sheng raised his head and asked, "Eldest sister, what about yours?"

Zhao Qing smiled and said, "The hoof is stewed at night, and the eldest sister keeps her stomach and eats the meat."

Chen Sheng got up angrily and walked to the kitchen, complaining as he walked: "This is going to spread, outsiders think that our Hanting is about to go bankrupt, and even the dignified young master is reluctant to eat a bowl of chicken noodles!"

Zhao Qing opened his mouth and closed it again, just watching Chen Sheng angrily walk into the kitchen with a smile on his face.

After a while, Chen Sheng came back with a pair of empty bowls and chopsticks, and picked it from his own bowl.

Seeing this, Chen Feng quickly picked up his bowl and picked it from the empty bowl.

Chen Sheng glared at him angrily: "Why, my eldest sister looks down on me as a king, so do you?"

Chen Feng: "What's the matter? You, the eldest brother, picks up the face for your sister-in-law because of your heart, and the younger brother picks up the face to look down on you?"

"Look what you can do!"

Chen Sheng slapped him with a backhand and slapped his head: "Jing Ke came over just now, and I ate barbecue with him, and this noodles is stuck between my teeth. You have traveled such a long way, what are you talking about with us? eat yours!"

Chen Feng touched his forehead and muttered in a low voice, "If you fight again, you will be a fool." Seeing Chen Sheng looking over, he hurriedly lowered his head and gulped.

Chen Sheng forcibly stuffed the noodle bowl into Zhao Qing's arms, took a big mouthful of his noodle bowl, and said while eating, "Hurry up and go to Yanqing Palace with me after you finish eating!"

　I forgot the time, it was late...
