Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 647: Give Chen Zhi a message for me
"The natural disasters of the past dynasties are actually not the fault of the emperor, but a change that conforms to the way of heaven. There is a set of rules in it, which may be influenced by all things in the world. There is a close connection between all things. As the saying goes, a single move affects the whole body..."

In the slightly crude hut, Bao Jingyan was talking eloquently, and opposite him were a dozen soldiers sitting on the ground. He was either cross-legged, or half-squatting. It was even more dirty and dirty, as if it had just come back from the ground.

However, no matter who they were, they were all listening attentively, and seemed unwilling to let go of what Bao Jing said, not even the slightest detail.

As they were talking here, a slightly childish young man among the crowd turned red from suppressing his emotions.

Bao Jingyan noticed his appearance and couldn't help but smile and said: "Wang Gou, if you have anything on your mind, just ask me directly. I am not the one who speaks here. I can only say it and no one else can comment."

When Wang Gou heard this, he scratched his head and looked embarrassed. Under the suspicious gazes of everyone, he asked cautiously: "Sir, when I was very young, I heard my family say that any chaos in the world will be the result." It’s because of the misconduct of higher-ups, and I have personally experienced the ups and downs. I have seen and experienced all this with my own eyes, but now, sir, you are saying that these have nothing to do with the lack of virtue of higher-ups, so what proof is there?”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an older man who frowned and said: "Xiao Wang, sir, I am a man with a great education, and what he said is true. Why did he say it a little more profoundly today?" You don’t believe me anymore, isn’t your heart to study too unsteady?”

When he said this, the young man named Wang Gou's face was full of embarrassment and regret.

However, Bao Jingyan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wang Gou is right. What I said a few days ago are all things you can see every day, and the results have come true, so you have formed a mindset. When I say After a while, I blindly chose to believe that it could not be fulfilled, but you should remember that this is what I said when I preached on the first day..."

He pointed to his chest and said with a smile: "I tell you, I have some ideas, and I hope you can think about it more. Think with your own heart, instead of listening to what others say they think. For me, Wang Gou really did it."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look ashamed, and Wang Gou also showed an embarrassed expression.

In fact, when Bao Jingyan talked with everyone, he basically grasped the family background of these people. Most of them were just ordinary people, but this Wang Gou was different. Although his speech and behavior, it was obvious that he didn't read much. He has written a lot of books, but listening to his narration and some insights, you can find something different.

Bao Jingyan knew that this Wang Gou was probably born into a wealthy family that had declined, or that there were poor scholars among his elders who were eager to learn, so they would have more exposure to their opinions.

For farmers who have difficulty eating and drinking, words such as the superior's immorality are simply things that they have no time to think about, let alone keep in mind, but Wang Gou obviously knows this.

At the same time, this young man's thinking is also very quick. In Bao Jingyan's view, he is a talent that can be made.

After thinking about this, he smiled and continued: "Let's go back to the topic just now, why can I be so sure? That's because if you read carefully, you can see records about astronomical phenomena and climate in the ancient books. , these records are large and small and distributed in many works. I have read through many, summarized some, made a list, and checked them every day, and then I discovered something..."

Everyone on the opposite side stretched their necks subconsciously, anticipating the next words.

Bao Jingyan didn't let them wait too long, so he said: "I have discovered that natural and man-made disasters happen almost every year, and they vary in size. When a superior leader loses his virtue, there will be small disasters, but when a recognized benevolent monarch is in office, there will be big disasters. Disasters just depend on what those people say. If they are a benevolent king, they will not talk about disasters, but will only talk about the benevolence of the superiors in rescuing disasters. But if an evil king is in power, even if he spends all his money to rescue the victims, it will be recorded as due to poor moral conduct. It will cause natural and man-made disasters!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone's expressions changed. Some people could not understand clearly, but they still vaguely felt that there was a big secret involved. Wang Gou suddenly paused and turned pale, as if he had thought of something.

"Actually, Wang Gou, your statement is also very problematic," Bao Jingyan seemed to think it was not enough. "You said that superiors are immoral. I wonder where you got it from? Did you see it with your own ears or eyes, or did you listen to other people's words? However, , I have never met the emperor until now, and I think you will rarely have a chance. That is to listen to what others say. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. This is said repeatedly by people around me. Even if it is not true, I am afraid you will. It feels like it’s true, not to mention…”

He was about to continue speaking, but suddenly frowned, stopped talking, and looked up to the front.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Two men in armor with long knives in their hands pushed aside the crowd and approached with big strides!

"What are you doing? Instead of taking a good rest while you were repairing, you came here to listen to this monster's words and deceive everyone, and everyone died?"

As they walked, the two men scolded loudly!
The people who had gathered around Bao Jingyan to listen all showed expressions of horror and fear and moved out of the way. They all recognized the identities of these two people. They were clearly Wang Jun's personal soldiers!
The general's personal soldiers were all big shots to ordinary soldiers. A single word could put them in bad luck. Anyone who dared to provoke them got up to avoid them, and invisibly made way for them. .

"Go away!"

The two people walked faster and faster. Some of them were knocked to the side before they had time to stand up, and then were roughly pushed to the side.

The two soldiers finally came straight to Bao Jingyan and looked at him condescendingly.

"What? Are you two here to convey the general's order?" Bao Jingyan was not afraid at all. He stood up with a smile, "I wonder what you are going to ask me this time?" The soldier said coldly: "The general wants to meet you!"

"You want to see me?" Bao Jingyan shook his head, "I made it very clear, if you want to see me, even General Wang must come to visit in person, otherwise..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The soldier frowned and reached out to grab him, "If the general asks you to go over, you should go over, otherwise your life will be at risk and you will have no choice but to seek your own death!"

"What are you doing!?"

Seeing that Bao Jingyan was about to be arrested, Wang Gou couldn't stand immediately. He took three steps and two steps at a time, rushed over, pulled Bao Jingyan back and blocked him in front!

"You kid..." The soldier narrowed his eyes, but soon saw the soldiers around him who were avoiding him, and they gathered around him. Although there was still fear on his face, he still stood in front of Bao Jingyan.

"I think you don't want to live anymore!" A soldier sneered.

Another soldier looked at Bao Jingyan and said, "Mr. Bao, do you want to harm them?"

Bao Jingyan sighed and walked out from behind everyone. He patted Wang Gou on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, don't be impulsive. Some things can't be solved with fists. You guys should also step back. General Wang, what are you doing?" Would someone with my status make things difficult for me?"

With that said, he cupped his hands in front of everyone, and under the escort of many reluctant eyes, he left the place with two sneering soldiers.

But while walking, Bao Jingyan began to think in his mind.

"This time, the soldiers came in person, and both the tone and the words used were completely different from the past. From the words, we can see the determination to take me there. So, it must be the prefect. The changes forced Wang Jun to take me there, but I just don’t know whether this change is good or bad."

During the period of house arrest, although he had access to soldiers, the information was extremely blocked, and he was not clear about the changes outside. And he was not good at deducing the overall situation, so he was actually blind to the current situation.

In fact, during his house arrest, he was worried almost every day, worried that Chen Zhi's situation would take a turn for the worse. Even after he knew that the siege of Thorny City had been lifted, he never relaxed for a moment.

However, when he came to the main hall and saw Wang Jun with a gloomy face, all these worries dissipated.

There is no doubt that this expression represents Wang Jun's mood and also indicates Chen Zhi's situation.

"I have seen the general."

Bao Jingyan cupped his hands in a calm and free manner, but when this look fell into Wang Jun's eyes, it made him even more angry.

Trying to calm down the flames in his heart, Wang Jun pointed to the seat in front of him and said coldly: "Sit down!"

"I don't dare." Bao Jingyan shook his head simply, "I wonder what the general meant by calling me here? But what news has come from my eunuch?"

Wang Jun did not answer, but looked at Bao Jingyan coldly. Seeing that the other party showed no fear at all, he said, "You are so brave. Is it because of your status as a celebrity that you have no fear? Do you know that as long as I say With this order, you will be killed immediately."

"Of course I believe in the courage of the general!" Hearing this, Bao Jingyan laughed instead, and he became more and more sure of his guess, "However, if this happens, I'm afraid there will be no room for maneuver between the general and my prefect. What's more, There is no one to carry the message? I think you don’t want to quarrel with my eunuch at this moment, right?"

When Wang Jun heard this, he even breathed heavily. After a while, he nodded and sneered: "Okay, okay! What a sharp fang. No wonder you dare to be so bragging, but I don't believe it, don't you?" From the very beginning, were you sure that Chen Zhi would succeed?"

"I don't know whether the governor can succeed," Bao Jingyan couldn't help but feel relieved after hearing this. Who wants to die?But Wang Jun's words proved that Bao Jingyan's bet was right, "But the prefect has no other way to go, he can only make things happen!"

When Wang Jun heard this, his pupils suddenly dilated, and finally he squeezed out a few words: "Okay! I want you to bring a few words to Chen Zhi for me!"
