Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 591

Things like auspiciousness had a glorious history in the Han Dynasty, but the result of that glorious history was that Comrade Wang Mang usurped the throne of the Han Dynasty.But throughout the entire feudal dynasty, this kind of superstitious activities has never been cut off.The fundamental reason, apart from the extremely low productivity that leads to people's ignorance, is that this kind of activity is actually a bridge for the common people to communicate with the rulers.

The ruling class wants to control thousands of people, and it is impossible for the people to be ruled willingly without these superstitious activities making some mysteries.And whether the people are doing well or not, there needs to be a channel to reflect it to the ruling class.So auspiciousness and disasters came into being, and Dong Zhongshu even systematically developed a theory of "harmony between man and nature", saying that if "virtue" governs the world, heaven will bring auspiciousness, and "without virtue" will bring disaster to the common people. There will be frequent disasters.

But this kind of theory obviously doesn't work in Shouchun. If heaven really has eyes, it should have sent down a thunderbolt to kill Yuan Shu, instead of letting him just sit on his dream that he can save the whole world.

"Yuan Shu has already agreed?" Duanmu Zhengshuo held the medicinal soup in his hand in surprise, and he couldn't believe it when he heard Liang Xi's report: "It took you less than half an hour to complete such an important matter." If you want to promote auspiciousness, you have to admit that there are gods and gods. Who has seen these with their own eyes? And think about it in the most stupid way. What do people do?"

At this moment, Liang Xi seemed to be in a state of lingering fear: "Can we not mention the matter of meeting Yuan Shu?" After saying this, he seemed to feel a little ridiculous again: "It was you Jin Yiwei who brought up the matter of Xiangrui. The evil heart is rampant, and you want to die, listen to what you want, why do you still seem to be reluctant?"

"It's not as simple as you imagined. Although our emperor is wise and powerful, he has always been careless. For this kind of thing, he usually points out the outline of action and is not responsible for specific actions. If we don't communicate here Well, then I'm afraid there will be problems." Duanmu Zhengshuo was a little anxious, sometimes it's not good for the leader to delegate too much power, for example, although he probably knows how to deal with this matter, when it is actually implemented, some details do not follow. Liang Xi communicates well, and it is really easy to reveal his identity.

The one that made Duanmu Zhengshuo even more desperate - auspiciousness from heaven, so easy? !You are Erlang God, God is your uncle?

How big a project is it to create a seamless 'auspiciousness'?Everyone lurking in Shouchun City is the elite of Jinyiwei General Banner and Deputy Hundred Households. If this incident exposes their identities, it will not be worth the loss.What's more, Jinyiwei and Jing'an Cao are not the only ones in Shouchun City. Duanmu Zhengshuo already knew about the fact that the emperor predicted that the assassination Cao and Sun Ce's secret room had targeted the Han Dynasty.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty does seem careless, but he never takes things lightly when it comes to key issues. Why do you think that the emperor's secret letter mentioned the matter of 'He's publishing pictures and Luo publishing books'?" Liang Xi leisurely He looked at Duanmu Zhengshuo, but in fact his attention was no longer on the fat man.He just wanted to see some shadow of the young emperor through this Jin Yiwei who was said to have been trained by the emperor himself.

But the more he observed, the more he felt that the emperor was unfathomable.On the surface, it seems that he has passed on a task to Jin Yiwei, but in fact all the troublesome things are the work of Cao Jing'an-this makes Liang Xi a little discouraged, and somehow feels that he has become a tool of the Han Dynasty.

But Duanmu Zhengshuo couldn't come up with the intention of "He's publishing pictures and Luo publishing books", so he had no choice but to ask Liang Xi for advice: "Your Majesty's intention?..."

"Your Majesty is telling us Jing'an Cao that the auspiciousness in ancient times was also man-made. The so-called "He Chu Tu Tu, Luo Chu Shu Shu" is the source of civilization. They all believed it, and the matter became a tiger among three people, from a fake to a real one."

"Your Majesty, you want you to confuse Yuan Shu into believing that people are auspicious?"

"Exactly."

"Then you can do this?" Duanmu Zhengshuo couldn't wait any longer. If Yuan Shu acquiesced in this so-called 'auspiciousness', then the chance of Jin Yiwei being exposed would be greatly reduced.If Yuan Shu intends to connive, then even if someone finds out, Yuan Shu will not listen to Jin Yiwei's arguments, but will think that some people use mice to ruin his good deeds.

"I just made a few random remarks. The one who really wants to strengthen Yuan Shu's mind has to be someone else." After saying this, Liang Xi walked out of Duanmu Zhengshuo's room full of disgusting medicine.He knew that since ancient times, those who accompanied the leader and pretended to be ghosts would not end well.

This kind of thing that will affect his reputation and official career in the future, the emperor keeps his Jin Yiwei away. How can he be so contaminate with such a salty and confidential person?
At the same time, Yuan Shu was in the empty Mochou Hall, thinking carefully about the auspiciousness and Feng Chan that Liang Xi had told him tonight.

He was born in a family of four generations and three princes, and was originally educated by Confucianism "respecting ghosts and gods".However, he was ignorant and ignorant, and he hung out with some Taoist priests and alchemists all day long in Luoyang City. He would rather believe in these ghosts and gods than nothing. For example, when Emperor Ling died, he Yuan Shu Witness a hen turning into a rooster and crowing.

What is that, Hen Sichen!
Later, Empress Dowager He disagreed with He Jin's killing of the eunuch, which caused He Jin to be deeply trapped in the North Palace and was cut off.This kind of event was firmly imprinted in Yuan Shu's mind, which made him believe in the prophecy.But if it is said that everything has already been predestined by the heavens, then if he plays tricks with the heavens, will he make the heavens displeased?
This kind of mentality made him admit that Liang Xi's idea is an eternal policy, but at the same time he was also a little worried, fearing the wrath of the heavens, and taking back the throne he originally deserved.

After a lot of thought, Yuan Shu suddenly asked to the empty palace, "Is it really true that 'He produced pictures and Luo produced books'?"

"It's fake." From a corner where the lights couldn't illuminate, a figure dressed in a fairy style walked out.This person is eight feet tall, with three long flowing beards, and he is dressed in a Taoist robe, which makes him have the temperament of becoming a fairy: "The ancients were ignorant, and it was the sages who used these strange things to convince the people in order to educate the world."

Yuan Shu's mood suddenly relaxed: Originally, who would believe that a horse jumped out of the Yellow River with the design bestowed on Fuxi's back by God, so that he could create gossip?Then a tortoise floated up from Luoshui, handed the "Book of Heaven" engraved with red textured characters to Dayu, and asked him to write "Shangshu. Hong Fan Jiuyi"?

No more than a metaphor, no more than a deception.

"But the sage is so ignorant of the world, isn't he afraid of the wrath of the gods?" Yuan Shu was a little puzzled afterward. When it comes to military affairs and conquests on the battlefield, he has always been arbitrary and unambiguous.But in this field that he is completely unfamiliar with, he is no different from an ordinary ignorant commoner.

"General, it's all about man's effort, and man's victory over heaven is not without reason. What we monks have to do is to see through the secrets of heaven and act in accordance with the sky. Can let the opportunity pass by. The will of God at that time is no longer the will of God.”

The Taoist priest slowly revealed his true face, and one had to admit that this person had a clear and handsome face.His every move seems to have been deliberately adjusted, with a sense of conviction that makes people feel like a spring breeze.If Liang Xi was present, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that this is Zhang Jiong, a Hanoi talisman alchemist who has been planted beside Yuan Shu by Jing'an Cao An for half a year.

Following Zhang Jiong's words just now, Yuan Shu's expression brightened in an instant, obviously a certain psychological difficulty has been overcome.That night, the two of them had an in-depth discussion on the topic of "destiny", until the red candle was half lit, Yuan Shu once again asked to share the same bed, the alchemist Zhang Jiong hesitated, and then slowly He nodded shyly...

Just like that, a conspiracy brewed in the distant Chang'an Xuanshi Palace, through the mouths of a few people in Shouchun, completely germinated in Yuan Shu's heart, so that it quickly spread into wild weeds everywhere.After the red candle was burned out that night, the place fell into a frenzy and confusion. It was not until the flowers in the dream were broken that people realized how terrible the false obsession was.
