I have a book of ghosts and gods

Chapter 744 Confrontation (Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass)

When the King of Chu saw Jiang Zhou, he didn't say anything, but just said bet when he came up, which not only stunned Jiang Zhou, but also the whole court of civil and military officials didn't know what was going on.

Jiang Zhou's mind turned, and he said with a smile: "Do you know what I'm here for? Are you going to bet with me?"

"Bold!"

"How dare you be rude in front of Your Highness!"

His casualness immediately angered the people in the palace.

One person stood up and pointed angrily at Jiang Zhou.

This is an old man of half a century, with a gray beard, a high crown and a broad belt, and an extraordinary bearing. He should be an important minister of the Chu State.

Jiang Zhou was neither anxious nor angry, and said with a smile, "Who are you?"

The old man stroked his beard and raised his head: "Old man Huang Shou."

A very common name, but even an "outsider" like Jiang Zhou knows that this name is not common.

Compared with heretics such as "Mr. Yin", this person is the pillar of the Chu Kingdom.

There are not many great Confucianists in Nanzhou who can really engrave the awe-inspiring, and this Huang Shou is one of the only two in the past 30 years.

Li Dongyang is another one, and it is still after this person to enter the realm of great Confucianism.

Moreover, this person engraves the way of grandeur, which is also the true way of the holy way.

He is the only person Jiang Zhou knows in this world who has said that the way to govern the country lies in the "people".

In this world, there is neither Meng sage nor Xun sage, neither kings boats and people water, nor kings despise the people.

There is only the master who can be called the everlasting light, and his "gentleman's self-improvement".

However, the Master said that "a gentleman strives for self-improvement", which means that everyone should be a gentleman and everyone should strive for self-improvement, which is the real way.

But now, "gentleman" has become the peculiarity of a few people.

Under such circumstances, Huang Shou's Holy Way is extremely rare.

This was one of the few people Jiang Zhou admired when he browsed through the scriptures.

In his opinion, this person should be the first to contribute to Chu's prosperity today.

While thinking about it, Jiang Zhou clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "I heard Mr. Huang's saying of 'enriching the people' earlier, and I admire him very much, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that."

Huang Shou just reprimanded him angrily, but now he is not angry when he heard the words, Fuxu said flatly: "Young boy with a yellow mouth, you are not ashamed to speak out."

"Okay, I heard that you are Li Dongyang's disciple, you can also be regarded as my Confucian disciple, and you must have some talent and learning. The old man wants to hear it. What's your opinion?"

"It's alright to talk about it, a mere criminal in a certain area in Jiang, with his high-spirited talk, has damaged Mr. Dongyang's reputation in vain,"

"It's just a pity for Jiang. Mr. Huang was on the top of the golden tower back then. The sentence 'The country is a great weapon, the ruler must be cautious, and the first priority is to enrich the people', it is deafening, and it is indeed a holy way through the ages,"

"When the people of the world hear about it, they are all happy, thinking that the sage born in the country can help the people of the world to eliminate harm, and the clouds above their heads will be scattered, and they will be able to look up at the brilliance of the sun and the moon."

"But I didn't expect that, it was just an empty talk. Mr. Guan Huang has a beautiful head and beard now. Not only can he not repay the king at the top, and can't comfort the common people at the bottom, but he has become a rebellious minister and thief, bringing disaster to the country and the people. I don't know what you will look like after you die. The sages and sages met on the vast river?"

At this time, Huang Shou's face was flushed with anger, his eyes were bare, his beard was trembling, he opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't speak.

"What a thief!..."

Someone was furious and wanted to scold Jiang Zhou, but Jiang Zhou couldn't bear to interrupt him with a wave of his hand: "I am a man of great power, appointed by the imperial court, and I don't bother arguing with you and other rebellious officials, thieves, and corrupt Confucian villains."

"Crazy little thief!"

"An dare to bark here!"

"Too deceiving!"

"A mere child dares to speak out and shout about the king?"

All the ministers in the hall jumped up as if they had been stabbed by needles, and cursed one after another.

The king of Chu and his concubine sat high in the hall, but they didn't say a word.

The latter looked at Jiang Zhou below with great interest, and looked around indifferently after being fiercely confronted.

The more you look at it, the more intense the color in your eyes becomes.

"All right."

The king of Chu finally spoke, and the hall was quiet for a moment, but those civil and military officials still glared at Jiang Zhou, wishing they could cut him into pieces with their eyes.

"Jiang Zhou, you don't want to use your words with this king."

The King of Chu said lightly: "You might as well tell me first, what do you want to do?"

With a twitch of Jiang Zhou's mouth, he took out a golden knife from Michen Banner, and stuck it in front of him.

He raised his head and said in a vibrating voice: "I am in charge of the emperor's imperial edict, the emperor, and received the grace of His Majesty today. I am in charge of the Kaifeng mansion, and I am subject to the three guillotines of the blue sky.

"At the top, behead innocent princes and treacherous ministers, and below, behead treacherous villains who violate the laws of the king.

"You are the king of Chu, a son of a man, and a minister of a man, but you don't want to repay the kindness of your father, you don't care about the people's life, you raise troops without authorization, and rebel. What do you think I want to do?"

"..."

The king of Chu looked at the golden knife, his face twitching slightly.

This set again?

I heard that when this kid was in Wu County, he often used this Holy Patriarch Jin Edict to scare people everywhere.

When he arrived in Jiangdu, he also relied on the power of the holy ancestor to cause trouble.

Even Yu Boshi's thousand-year-old fox was once disgraced by his tricks, and finally fell into his hands.

That old fox made him very afraid, and it was a big stumbling block for him to go north.

Speaking of which, he still has to thank Jiang Zhou.

If Jiang Zhou hadn't killed Yu Boshi and broke the balance of Jiangdu, he would have taken advantage of it and invaded Yangzhou. It would not be so easy, and it would take at least ten years of management work.

Although this trick is old, it really works.

The righteousness of the Chu State lies on the side of the Qing emperor, and the revenge of the mother will make the country difficult.

Regardless of the reality, in name, the banner of filial piety and loyalty is still being played.

If he dared to ignore the golden edict of the Holy Patriarch, the filial piety, loyalty and righteousness would naturally disappear.

King Chu thought about this and waved his hand.

Naturally, the ministers in the palace burst into flames again, but seeing the signal from the King of Chu, they did not explode.

And they also knew that the emperor's golden edict, the ancestor of the emperor, was indeed not to be disrespected.

There is no need to pay homage to this little thief, they are already cheeky and pretending to be confused.

This little thief... shameless!
On the other side, Princess Chu was silent, but there was a hidden smile in her eyes.

The King of Chu said helplessly: "Then you come here alone, are you here to put down the rebellion?"

Jiang Zhou chuckled, and said slowly, "Treasons must be suppressed, traitors must be eradicated, traitors... naturally, they must be punished."

His words made the officials in the hall quiet down.

The look at him is no longer anger, but a kind of sarcasm, disdain, and indifference...

It's like watching a madman.

King Chu also chuckled a few times.

"Well, regardless of what you say is right or wrong, since you are here, I might as well ask you, you have killed countless elite soldiers under my command, and now you are here alone, and it is difficult to protect yourself. How can I punish this king for being a traitor?"

Jiang Zhou shook his head and said, "I can't kill you."

The King of Chu laughed and said, "Hehe, you still have some self-knowledge."

Jiang Zhou also laughed and said, "Although I can't kill you, if I want to kill people, not half of the people in this temple will survive."

Everyone looked at each other angrily, but the king of Chu was not angry either, and his smile remained unchanged: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of Yingdu?"

Jiang Zhou smiled lightly: "If I can't get out of Yingdu, at least half of Chu Kingdom will be buried with me. It's not a loss."

"Report—!"

Suddenly, a shout came from afar.

"His Royal Highness! Yin soldiers have suddenly appeared in Wu Jun and Chen Du, and the evil spirit has permeated the land of the two counties!"
