Humane Yongchang

Chapter 409 Confucianism
Youzhou.

Autumn is high and crisp, and the sky is high and the earth is wide.

There are about [-] soldiers and horses of the Youzhou Army holding high the military flag with the word "You" marching southward along the wide horse road.

When passing through a city gate, a soldier with the same red scarf and red armor blocked the way of the soldier.

"Stop here!"

Many red-armored soldiers in front of the checkpoint raised their guns and spears and shouted at the Youzhou army from a distance, "There are dog soldiers infesting in front of us. We follow the order of His Royal Highness King Yan to seal the pass. It has nothing to do with dog soldiers." People wait, traffic is prohibited!"

"Call..."

A group of soldiers of the Youzhou army stopped outside the mountain pass, and a heroic young general who was eight feet tall held a black and heavy halberd upside down, and rushed out slowly on his horse.

He raised his head and glanced at the two flags with the characters "Yan" and "Li" fluttering above the mountain pass, anger flashed in his double pupils.

He shouted in a low voice: "Long Qi!"

A capable young general rode out in response, clasped his fists and said, "The bid is here!"

General Double Eye: "Let these hawks and dogs go away quickly!"

The young general responded, and led more than ten riders forward to negotiate.

General Chongtong watched the crowd of robes come forward, and impatiently held the handle of the eucalyptus sizzling.

At the right time, a handsome junior came to the side of the double pupil general, and said in a low voice: "Brother, these eagle dogs are clearly coming for us!"

General Chongtong gritted his teeth and said in a low voice without looking back: "I'm not blind!"

Xiaojun Junxiu looked around, lowered his voice again and said: "My little brother means... the general sent us to pick up the food, do you know that the Yan Palace will set up a card to intercept the food?"

The double-eyed general raised his eyes and pondered for a few breaths, then said thoughtfully: "Before leaving, the general told me to put the overall situation first..."

Junior Junior Junxiu: "The food stock in the army is about to run out. If this batch of food and fodder falls into the hands of Prince Yan's Mansion, wouldn't it be up to Prince Yan's Mansion to decide whether we advance or retreat in the future?"

General Chongtong finally turned his head to look at him, and shouted impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it, why are you still hesitating with me!"

Junior Junior Junxiu sneered and said in a low voice: "My little brother means... this batch of food and fodder is the overall situation of our Youzhou Army!"

General Chongtong was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Don't lie to me, what does the general mean?"

Junior Junxiu glanced at him: "Brother's bravery is well known in the entire army. The general did not send his brother to meet the food and fodder supported by the King of Han in the past few times, but this time he sent his brother to come, and we met King Yan. Card interception... Brother, don't you think this is too coincidental?"

General Chongtong looked at him uncertainly: "The general has told me many times that the most important task in northern Xinjiang right now is to resist the invasion of the dog army, and the provocation of the Yan Palace, if you can bear it, you can bear it, even if you can't bear it, you can't Expanding the situation..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Xiaojun Junxiu gave him a slight push: "Brother, there's a quarrel over there."

General Chongtong fixed his eyes, and saw many Yan Wangfu soldiers guarding the closed gate, surrounding Long Qie and others, pushing and yelling and cursing. .

He had just rushed to Longqie's side, and before he could speak, he heard the other party's leader, the captain, yelling and scolding: "A mere dog guarding the house, how dare you disobey orders and disobey..."

I don't know if it's because of the words of Juncai Junxiu's little school just now. It seems that General Chongtong has heard countless times of insults like this from the soldiers of the Yanwang Palace in the army. In the past, he just regarded it as a dog barking. , never took it to heart...Of course, in the past, they scolded the generals of Yan Wangfu's family, and they scolded them even more harshly, and they couldn't get enough of it.

But this time, he only felt that his heart was on fire, and he couldn't control the hand holding the halberd, and he walked ahead of his thoughts, bringing a cold crescent moon, and smoothly slashed across the neck of the captain of the Yan Palace.

All the people present were stunned, and turned their heads to look at the Yan Wangfu school lieutenant with dull eyes.

The captain of Prince Yan's Mansion also raised his head in a daze, and looked at the double-eyed general on the tall horse, as if he couldn't believe it, he dared to kill him!
In the next second, Douda's head rolled down and hit the ground with a muffled "boom", like a ripe watermelon.

Blood spurted more than ten feet high from the chest cavity of the headless corpse...

The general with double pupils flicked the blood beads on the halberd, and glanced blankly at the soldiers of the Yan Palace in front of him: "A certain family has disobeyed orders today, so what shall we do!"

Before he made a move, he still had some concerns in his mind.

But seeing the blood now, the hesitation in his heart disappeared immediately!
Seeing this, the handsome junior at the back pulled out his sword and shouted: "The Yan Palace is too deceitful, the second and third sons are going to fight with the Yan Palace..."

The sound awakened the soldiers of King Yan's Mansion who were closing and closing. For a moment, the arrows and the shouts of "Youzhou Army is rebelling" fell like raindrops, and Wan Jun's heavy closing door was also "Keng Keng Keng Keng" With the sound of the winch turning, it slowly fell.

The general with double pupils is like a reef like a stormy sea, standing steadily outside the closed door. The dark halberd is as light as a light grass in his palm, and he calmly pushes away all the arrows pouring down from the closed door...

The rain of arrows, which seemed to be rushing and dense like a shower, was nothing more than a spring breeze blowing against his face.

But the louder shout of "Youzhou Army has rebelled" made him angry like a fire cooking oil, and "Boom Boom Boom" exploded upwards!

Old accounts, new accounts... will be settled together today!

The heavy pupils were flooded with blood, and the heroic young general tore off the "red scarf" around his neck and threw it on the ground, roaring angrily: "A certain nationality has left the Youzhou Army and returned to Ji Zhou. I would like to follow a certain family." Whoever kills Ji Xuan's son to avenge the humiliation, will follow someone to attack!"

He clamped the groom violently, and rushed towards the closed door with a ferocious aura like a tiger. He raised his halberd and slammed it hard on the heavy closed door.

"Boom."

The thick iron-clad gate was torn apart, and Chong Tong led the leaping horse into the mountain pass.

In the rear, the two thousand elite soldiers from Youzhou who had followed him on the Great Wall and fought with Quan Rong for three years shouted in unison: "I wish to follow the military lord, and life and death will never be separated!"

"kill!"

……

The impact of moving the capital on the Han court was greater than Chen Sheng expected!

He originally thought that the relocation of the capital was just a place to work in a better location, and it may take two or three years for this location to be fully reflected.

But in fact, since the Han court moved its capital to Jinling, Chen Sheng has been keenly aware that the spirit of the Han court has changed from top to bottom...

Like overnight.

The salted fish officials who seemed to have no desires and desires suddenly began to yearn for promotion.

The common people, who were only concerned about the food and clothing in front of them, suddenly began to make long-term plans.

The number of people who came to Jinling from all over the world every day to seek officials and make a living was also increasing day by day.

Even the business system that he spent a lot of effort to revitalize but still hasn't improved much is like the earth that has been driven away by the spring wind and the cold winter, and it starts to recover all of a sudden...

What's more intuitive is that his long-stalled luck value began to increase at a rate of two to three thousand a day after he entered the Changning Palace!
Chen Sheng wondered for a long time, and suddenly realized that moving the capital might just be a more convenient place to work for him, but for Han Ting, it was a sign of getting rid of the grassroots team and getting on the right track!

It was only later that he remembered that although he had established himself as king a long time ago, it seemed that he had never formally established the capital!
Yes, although before moving the capital, he had always used Chen County as the capital by default.

But that's just his own default.

No official edict was issued, and Chen County was used as the capital.

Seemingly insignificant steps, but the Han people's sense of belonging to the Han court has been disrupted!
Of course, the real question does not lie in whether or not he ordered Han to use Chen County as his capital.

But the rise of the Han court is too fast, and the people's sense of belonging to the Han court has not yet been cultivated.

In an environment where a sense of belonging has not been cultivated, he blurred the problem of the capital, which led to obstacles in the Han people's understanding of the Han court.

Before the capital was moved, even those people who had received the favor of the Han court's policy of benefiting the people, their cognition of the Han court only stayed at: "His Royal Highness is very good at fighting", "The great Han has many soldiers and horses", "The Han court The officials of Ji Zhou seem to be kinder than the officials of Ji Zhou".

After the capital was officially moved, the people of the Han court gradually realized that they were no longer Zhou people, but Han people, and the capital was no longer Luoyi, but Jinling...

Once people have a sense of belonging, they will want to be stable.

With stable thoughts, there is self-motivation.

When a group of people have the ambition to improve in the same direction, there will be centripetal force and cohesion...

Since then, the development speed of Hunting has entered the fast lane.

At the beginning of September, the autumn harvest was completed in the four prefectures of Han, and the [-] hybrid rice plants planted reached the standard of two stones per mu.

Since then, although the food supply in Han is still stretched, there is no longer any worry about food famine!

Chen Sheng also tried to open up grain markets in various states to give a boost to the recovering business system.

In mid-September, the first batch of cement from the cement factory led by Meihua Villa rolled off the production line.

The construction speed of Jinling began to accelerate.

The construction of Sizhou Chidao has also begun preparations.

At the end of September, Chen Ping returned from a secret mission to the Bolang Army, and finalized the general direction of Jingzhou's coming under the rule of the Han court.

At the right time, the battle for the state merger was still in full swing.

In order not to disturb Ying Zheng and Han Xin's "elegance", Chen Sheng suppressed the news for the time being, and went to Jingzhou alone to confer titles on the generals of the Bolang Army.

Kong Xun, the new general of the Bolang Army, also became the third general leader of the Han court after Meng Tian and Li Xin.

So far, the military establishment of the Han court has officially broken one million!
The actual number of troops breaking through one million is just around the corner!
At the beginning of October, Chen Ao's personal letter about Xiang Yu's independence from the Youzhou Army was sent to Chen Sheng.

After Chen Sheng read it, he lamented that time is fate...

At the same time, he became more and more interested in the situation in the north.

In mid-October, the first snow in Yanzhou.

Confucius, whose alias was Ziqiu, started from Yingchuan, held a spear in one hand and a cow in the other, and discussed the land of Han.

The theory of "Yuanyu", with the appearance of a Confucian classic, has rectified its name in a hundred schools of thought!
Chen Sheng heard that he hadn't left Changning Palace for three days.

……

As soon as Chen Sheng opened his eyes, he saw Zhuang Zhou sitting opposite him, happily reading a volume of books.

"I said, old master Zhuang, are you always so idle?"

He familiarly imagined the Splatoon set meal, and complained while eating: "You tell yourself, how many times has this been this year? You treat my place as a teahouse, and you can leave or come whenever you want?"

In fact, he secretly thought about why his arrogance was useless to these old guys.

In the end, I came to an uncertain conclusion: the humane luck of these old guys should be of the same origin as his humane aura, so as long as they don't want to hurt themselves, humane aura is useless to them .

Of course, the more important reason is still unable to take the initiative to use the human emperor's energy, and completely passively rely on the human emperor's energy to protect the body. Therefore, for Zhuang Zhou and the others who have achieved the Tao based on humane luck, it is natural It's useless.

"Look at what you said..."

Zhuang Zhou curled his lips angrily: "If my old man doesn't come, where are you going to eat these things?"

Chen Sheng thought for a while, then nodded and said: "That's right... But when you come back, can you tell me in advance? I can also prepare in advance!"

Zhuang Zhou sneered: "Prepare? How do you prepare? Prepare [-] soldiers and horses and wait to put eye drops on my old man?"

Chen Sheng: "How could it be? You come, I have to eat and drink for you to grow old!"

Zhuang Zhou: "Stop talking nonsense, my old man is here to discuss the Tao with you on behalf of Confucius!"

Chen Sheng shrank his neck, and said hastily: "I'm not a member of Baijia, so I don't have to participate in the discussion or something?"

Zhuang Zhou said with a "hehe" smile: "So, didn't I come to discuss with you... Kongqiu wants to regard you as the third patriarch of Confucianism, and the sub-sage is the bottom line!"

Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment, slowly suppressed the smile on his face, and said seriously: "I don't allow this matter!"

Zhuang Zhou seemed to know his choice a long time ago, so he said without any surprise excuse: "No need to discuss?"

Chen Sheng nodded: "One day I am the King of Han, and this matter cannot be discussed for a day!"

Zhuang Zhou raised his head and looked at the clear sky: "Did you hear that? I told you a long time ago that there is nothing to discuss about this matter, so you have to make a fuss!"

Chen Sheng reacted immediately, and raised his head to look at the sky just like him... This time, there was no fear on his face anymore!
After a few breaths, Zhuang Zhou lowered his head: "Then let's talk about the second thing directly. Confucius wants to use Ziqiu as a pseudonym and become your minister!"

Chen Sheng frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Purpose?"

Zhuang Zhou shook his head: "I can't talk about it for the time being, but my old man dares to use his own life as a guarantee. This matter is a matter of mutual benefit!"

Chen Sheng shook his head: "If I don't know what's inside, it's useless for anyone to be a guarantee. I don't need to say what the identity of Kong Sheng is. I don't need to say what effect he will have if he becomes my vassal. I can't afford this risk. I don't want to take that risk!"

Zhuang Zhou gave a "tsk", and raised his head to look at the sky again: "Why don't you come and talk to him yourself?"
