Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 304 303. From the beginning, I will win

"So that's it. So, the most vicious person in this story, I'm afraid it's not the shopkeeper from Shandong? Framed, framed colleagues, killed son-in-law and dumped his body... It's full of evil!"

In the private room of the nearest wine shop in Linchun Friends Club, although there was no listening book, after hearing that Li Zhen had unbuttoned the "Nine Heads Case", the two tough Yan family showed sobs.

"Ah."

Li Zhen simply responded, but the corner of his eyes was always focused on the street outside.

That's all for this meal.

To be honest, he is pretending to have something on his mind at the moment, so what he eats is that he doesn't know the taste.

And his state was seen by the two of them. After the two brothers looked at each other, Yan Lide suddenly said:
"Master."

"Ok?"

Li Zhen turned around:

"Layman, what's the matter?"

Yan Lide put down his wine glass, glanced out of the window, and asked in a low voice:

"The Taoist priest is worried about Miss Hongying?"

"Ah."

There is nothing to hide, Li Zhen nodded directly:

"When Hongying was in Pegasus City... she took care of me a lot, and she was a close friend. At this moment, she is indeed a little worried."

"..."

Hearing this, Yan Lide thought for a while and sighed:

"Well, if that's the case, then... the Taoist priest would better persuade Miss Hongying not to get too close to Li Shilang. This person is too mysterious, and even my mother said that this person is very dangerous. Meticulous, never doing useless work. If he makes any moves, then there must be a deep meaning behind them. Although Pegasus City has a long history and profound heritage, but after all, this is Luoyang City. Moreover, this time the masters of various schools of thought No matter how I look at it, I think it's like... raising Gu. If Pegasus City really wants to get involved, I think it's best to just get along with it. Don't get involved too much, otherwise... there may be a If you are not careful, you will be lost forever..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Qian shook his head directly:
"Brother's words are too naive. I'm afraid I have forgotten the truth of riding a tiger. It doesn't matter whether it is Li Shilang or other people in the court. Which of the various schools in Luoyang City has their support? Ma Cheng wants to retreat and fool around? Brother thinks Li Shilang will agree? Besides..."

Yan Qian's voice also suppressed:

"Brother, why don't you think about it, Li Shilang can blatantly support Pegasus City this time... This is the first time in history. His identity is already sensitive, and he is in charge of Baiqisi, who supervises the world for His Majesty. Although he is just a Huangmen servant, But among the government and the public, even a few ministers dare not disrespect him. And this time even he has expressed his position, if he has not obtained the permission from above, who would let this... the court's underdogs randomly stand in line?"

"!"

Yan Lide's eyes widened suddenly, and he realized the meaning of his brother's words:
"You mean Your Majesty..."

"Shh!"

Yan Qian waved his hand and turned to look at Li Zhen.

He is obviously a child who is not as good as a weak crown, but he usually looks like a tough kid.But at this moment, when talking about the situation in the court, it seems like a scheming person who has seen through everything:
"Daoist, although this matter is not a gentleman's work, but... I advise the Taoist to let this matter go. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Now in Luoyang City, let alone a Taoist, just let it go." Those of us who have the shadow of our cute ancestors should be more careful. In the coming year, His Majesty will go to Jiangdu, and the King of Yue will stay in Luoyang. This time, the King of Yue does not seek merit, but seeks no faults. As long as he can wait for His Majesty to return smoothly, then... East Palace The position of the lord is almost certain. Conglongzhigong is related to the ups and downs of a family for the next hundred years. If you want to be a man with your tail between your legs, no one will offend you, the Taoist priest is just an outsider, if you want to mix too much rashly, I'm afraid you will..."

Speaking of this, Yan Qian slightly shook his head:

"Break into pieces."

"..."

Before Li Zhen could speak, Yan Lide also sighed quietly:
"Hey, what do you think... what are they planning?"

"Picture what?"

Yan Qian smiled ironically:

"The picture is based on the small and the big. Brother didn't know it. That day my uncle asked me to admire an authentic work by a famous artist he got, the third part of "Yong Huai" written by Ruan Ji. When I heard that it was an authentic work, I immediately It's a little strange. Although the titles of Ruan Ji's poems all start with "Yong Huai", he has written too many poems after all. What about the real one? Guess what uncle told me?"

"what?"

Yan Lide asked with a frown.

Then Yan Qian shook his head:

"It turns out that the calligraphy and painting my uncle got was a gift from a famous family. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been few rising stars of the famous family, and they have been dubbed "Sophistry" by the world. Long Yuhuishi's "Theory of White Horse", "Theory of Refersing to Things", "Theory of Fame and Reality", etc., have long since lost the glory of the drafters of the covenant between the First Emperor and the Yaozu. I haven't heard of it for so many years What kind of news, but this time it suddenly came out of nowhere, bringing these calligraphy and paintings to visit uncle. Guess, brother, what are they asking for?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yan Lide to answer, he gave an explanation directly:
"Nothing else. Just come to say hello as if."

"..."

"I asked my uncle what these famous people are going to do. My uncle's answer is: These people have seen that although the country is a bit precarious, it is still under the control of His Majesty. At the moment, they are at most weak, so they came here with gifts. Whether it is from the dragon or the virtuous in troubled times, what they are looking for is nothing more than Confucianism who defeated all schools of thought in the past, leaping into everyone's field of vision again, developing theories, and establishing themselves in this world. its historical status.

And if this thing is done, then just cling to King Yue and accumulate strength.When the new king ascends the throne, establish another state religion, spread his own theory to the world, and replace Confucianism.And if it fails, then this Xi Sui is nothing more than a group of people from the mountains offering gifts to Ming Jun.Although it fails, it will not lose anything.On the contrary, he will show his strength to the world, and some ambitious people will visit him.

800 years ago, Han Wu came to the throne, and Dong Zhongshu, the first sage, proposed to depose all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone, saying that it was Confucianism that won.And it has been a long, long time to dethrone a hundred schools of thought that only respect Confucianism.Although Confucianism is studied all over the world, after all... In the past few decades, no great Confucianism has emerged.The decline of Confucianism has shown, and this year His Majesty has allowed people from all over the world to enter Luoyang to celebrate the great victory.This is the best opportunity for this group of scholars who have been suppressed by Confucianism for hundreds of years.

If it is successful, then the new state religion will be established, whether it is to fight against the court, or to be the only one, it will bring your own sect to a new height.And if it doesn't work... These people from the mountains, they have no intention of power, they just came to Luoyang to celebrate the stability of the country.After the eve of the new year, he continued to retreat to the mountains and forests, and won the reputation of a cool breeze and a bright moon.In secret, you can also unite with others to accumulate strength.No matter what, it's a good deal.

It can be said that when they decided to come to Luoyang, everyone had already won.Brother thinks, do they need to draw something? "

"..."

"..."

Under Yan Lide's frowning and Li Zhen's slightly surprised eyes, the young man talked freely.

In just a few words, the things behind the undercurrents in Luoyang City were completely dissected.

No one spoke.

After silently digesting Yan Qian's words within a glass of wine, Li Zhen suddenly said:

"But here... the only one who can lose is Pegasus City, right?"

"good."

Yan Qian nodded:

"If Pegasus City wins, there won't be much benefit. Because other sects are the gates of the hidden world. To put it bluntly, their abilities are all based on their own theories and ways of their own sect. Knowledge, is Priceless. But the cost is also limited.

But what about Pegasus City?How did they win?So what if we lose?They raise horses, no matter whether they win or lose, from the moment they stand up to compete for this New Year's Eve Controversy, they... have become the pocketbooks of our Great Sui Dynasty.No matter how many horses, money and food you have, you must give them out.

If he wins, it means that the Millennium Pegasus has a profound heritage.And if they lose, it's nothing more than giving up the first place.They still have to respond to His Majesty's request.From this point of view, winning or losing has nothing to do with them.

But for people from various schools of thought, Pegasus City is competing with them no matter whether they win or lose.If they win, when the troubled times settle down, among their credits, there must be the money and food mounts of Pegasus City.And if you lose... Bole back then was just a stable boy, and you can't even fight a stable boy, so what face do you have to compete with Confucianism?so……"

The young man's eyes are full of admiration and amazement:

"The person who devised such a scheme... really is extremely powerful! It just created a Pegasus City, which made it impossible for all schools to unite, and also prevented any school from dominating one family. No matter who wins, Pegasus City will become The fishbone that cannot be spit out in their throats constrains and drags them. Although the end of Pegasus City may not be very good, but from the overall situation... such thoughts are really..."

"..."

Seeing his eyes full of fascination, Li Zhen, who had a figure in his heart for no reason, felt a little cold.

He knew that if even Yan Liben could figure it out...then...Pegasus City has no ideals and doesn't understand.

But obviously he wanted to understand it, but...he got into the game.

And from the moment they entered the game... other people don't talk about it, just say that these people from Pegasus City in the capital are equivalent to throwing their lives into this chaos.

Really... worth it?
He was a little dazed.

And in a trance, a sentence sounded in my ear:

"Taoist, you need to remember, it doesn't matter whether I have a conscience or not, you have to understand one thing. Before I achieve my goal, my conscience...is the most useless thing."

Conscience is useless to me.

Useless in this troubled world.
