Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 595
East Palace,

It is rare for many officials to gather together, including Zhou Yu, Sima Yi, Lu Su and others who have been away for a long time. Of course, Lu Yu is not here, and he may not be able to come for a year or two. He is Lu Zhi's only son. His elder brother died of illness early, and he was the only one left. He wanted to keep his filial piety for Mr. Situ. When everyone gathered together, they were supposed to sit down and talk happily. Love is revealed.

"Zhongda, you are finally back. You have been here for such a long time. I know that you are going to catch thieves. I am very worried." Liu Mastiff said, Sima Yi cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness Worrying, it’s our fault.” The crown prince looked at Zhou Yu again, and couldn’t help asking: “Mr. Zhou, why didn’t you see Xianfu?? Where did he go?? Is he all right?”

Zhou Yu said: "Your Highness, he is fine. He sent the thief to Tingwei. Maybe he will come later."

Only then did everyone start chatting. When talking about Zhuge Liang's eldest son, Sima Yi was a little surprised. He asked, "How long has it been since I left, and Kong Ming has a child?" What does he look like, but like Kong Ming, he is young and Smart, boastful all day long, defiant??"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he felt displeased immediately, and immediately replied: "My little boy is not born smart, and he is busy going to the library all day long, and the soldiers won't let him in. He also lied about being the grandson of Sangong, which is really annoying to me. Ashamed."

"Cough cough cough" Liu Mastiff quickly cleared his throat, he knew it would be like this, as long as these two people got together, they would immediately start arguing, I really don't know, if one is Situ and the other is Sikong in the future, There can still be a moment of peace in the temple, Liu Mastiff has not yet opened his mouth, and Man Chong on the side said coldly: "Falsely entering the library is a serious crime."

As soon as Man Chong opened his mouth, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were both stunned and closed their mouths.

Liu Mastiff could only try to change the subject, he asked suspiciously: "Mr. Man, you have been here for so long this time, what kind of thieves did you meet?? But looting giants?"

Man Chong shook his head solemnly and said, "No."

"Is that a traitor who is trying to plot rebellion??"

"No."

"Then who is it, and why did you send so many people to arrest it?" the prince asked with some doubts.

"It's just a young scholar. This person has committed a heinous crime. He talked about the destiny, slandered the sage, reprimanded hundreds of schools, beat alchemists, smashed temples, and even killed people!!" Man Chong told a series of evidence of this man's crimes. The prince is a little confused. What kind of evidence are these? With these evidence, do you still need to do it?
Seeing the prince at a loss, he looked at Zhou Yu who was full of favor and displeasure, and said, "In addition, I will also play Zhou Jun, Sima Jun, Lu Jun, etc., to connect with bandits, protect them, and make friends with them."

The emperor was even more at a loss, looking at Zhou Yu, Sima Yi and the others.

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Your Highness, let me tell the story, Your Highness, do you know about the Buddha religion?"

"I know." The crown prince nodded. There are still many Buddhist classics in the palace today, all of which were translated and sorted out during the Emperor Xiaohuan's time. Xiaohuan believed in these and carried them forward throughout the country, making local alchemists more popular. I got angry with them and had a lot of disputes with them. Liu Mastiff had read the classics of the Buddha, but he was not interested. In his opinion, these people are no different from those deceptive alchemists in the north.

"Your Highness may not know that there is a powerful man in Danyang called Ruo Rong. He is cruel by nature, but he believes in the teaching of the Buddha. He has funded and established a large number of temples in Xuzhou to worship the Buddha. He also asked the tenants and even all the people in the counties to come to believe in it." , He made acquaintance with the local officials and did evil. He was an unscrupulous villain. He set up more temples and converted his family assets into the funds of the pagoda to avoid taxes. He oppressed the people in the local area and did all kinds of evil. "

"Just because he respects the Buddha, the governor of the county and the like don't investigate at all, so he still has some power."

"Later, he met a crazy student. This crazy student was from Qingzhou. Between Qing, Xu, Bing, and Ji, he is talented, outstanding in nature, forthright, free and unrestrained, outspoken, unrestrained, silent and impermanent, and is called a madman by the great sages of the four states. This person came to Xuzhou , I saw the situation here."

"Your Highness doesn't know, this person originally hated alchemists very much, hated classics, and even saints. Let them make a fool of themselves, so they were wanted in several places in Jizhou, and in Qingzhou, he smashed down the temple set up by Emperor Xiaohuan himself, set it on fire, and said that if there is a god, come to seek revenge on me, Mr. Zhong!"

"So he was also wanted in Qingzhou. In desperation, he went to Xuzhou, but saw that the people here believed in the Buddha, and the words were full of Buddha. Most of the roads were monks. How could he bear it? He went to Xuzhou They started beating monks, burning temples, talking about all things and human beings, there is no fate in the sky, these things naturally aroused Ruo Rong's pursuit, and he killed several good men sent by Ruo Rong."

"Later, Ruo Rong held a Buddha bathing meeting in the county. His Highness didn't know that this thief was really hateful. The local county officials set up a relief center, and all the supplies distributed to the people were taken away by this thief. He said that he would offer things to the Buddha. , embezzled these, defrauded the common people's property, and set up this Buddhist bathing meeting. The meeting just started, and many monks were reciting scriptures, when someone asked: "Is it possible for the Buddha to live forever?"

"Zo Rong heard about it and replied: The way of the Buddha is wonderful."

"Just after he finished answering, Kuangsheng jumped out from the crowd, cut Ruo into the owl's head with a single knife, and shouted: Let Naiweng see your wonderful pagoda technique!!"

"He defecated on the Buddha again in public, smashed it, and laughed wildly."

"He was so eloquent that he persuaded a group of Xuzhou rangers to kill monks and destroy temples wantonly, which was extremely cruel. We went to arrest him, searched various places, and caught him after several rounds of arrests." Sima Yi said, his face was still a little tired, it could be seen that the arrest was not as easy as he said.

Man Chong snorted coldly and said, "It's just an ignorant thief."

Zhou Yu didn't like to hear these words. Zhou Yu said: "This man is a great talent, and Ruo Rong has committed many crimes and deserved to die. How can he be said to be a thief? I think Ting Wei should release him and let him come to the East Palace to assist His Highness." !!", Man Chong was furious, and said: "What kind of official is he, capable of killing people? Ruo Rong is a villain, and he should be dealt with by us. What has he to do with him?? If he kills, he has committed a serious crime!"

"Yeah, the crime of Ruo Rong should be dealt with by the king. Ruo Rong has been evil for so many years, and Man Jun has not heard a word. Why is he already dead, and Man Man wants to deal with him?? Why, why not put his body away?" Dig it out, and Manjun will have another trial, so that the world can know how upright Manman is?!" Zhou Yu said with a sneer, seeing that the two were about to fight, it was Zhuge Liang who spoke quickly to calm them down.

"No matter what you say, I will tell you the truth!" Man Chong said, turned and left.

Zhou Yu looked at him, snorted coldly, and said, "You're a fame-seeker."

Liu Mastiff was a little embarrassed. He valued these two people very much, and he didn't know how to persuade him. Sima Yi said, "Your Highness, this man is a great talent. Your Highness can go and see him. He should be imprisoned in Tingwei Prison. Your Highness, go and see how it goes, your Highness only needs to talk with this person for a while, and you will know how extraordinary this person is!", Sima Yi said so, even Zhuge Liang was a little curious about this person.

Not to mention Liu Mastiff, Liu Mastiff stared wide-eyed, and asked: "Is this person really so amazing?"

"Yes."

Sima Yi nodded.

Liu Mastiff was a little moved, but he wasn't sure about Father's attitude towards this person. If he went to meet him rashly, would it make Father unhappy? He was thinking about it, when Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Your Highness, It's okay, let's go and have a look together, while Manjun is away, if he comes back later, I'm afraid His Highness won't be able to go." Hearing what Zhuge Liang said, Liu Mastiff simply agreed, and brought Donggong Qun The minister walked towards Ting Wei.

Just halfway there, he saw Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang led several soldiers and was walking towards the East Palace. He was also very surprised when he saw Liu Mastiff. Fu, I’m sorry to trouble you these days.” Yuan Shang shook his head and said, “No problem, Your Highness, where are you going?”

"Go to Ting Wei, go to see that thief."

"Ah!" Yuan Shang was taken aback, shook his head quickly, and said: "Your Highness, I don't want to go, this fellow is simply a lunatic, along the way, he is talking outrageous words, he said that the big man has no destiny, but Taizu has it." Excellent soldiers and good generals, talents", Yuan Shang didn't dare to continue, and quickly closed his mouth, Liu Mastiff heard it, smiled, and said: "Does this person hate my Gongyang so much?"

The core of Gongyang in the Han Dynasty is naturally the theory of destiny. Gongyang Confucianism believes that all changes in the country are destiny. After experiencing Wang Mang, Gongyang suffered a huge blow and improved the theory of destiny. Among them The most powerful one is He Xiu. In order to prevent such a situation from happening, he directly placed the destiny on the body of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. If the relatives, Zhou, Shang, etc. do not have the destiny, the country will be destroyed. coordination.

Only the son of heaven of my great man is the real destiny. Therefore, the emperor who has been able to be the emperor for so long can rule the world and everyone will follow him. Even the Shang and Zhou Dynasties were unable to manage the place. How can he be regarded as having the destiny?He Xiu directly deprived the foundation of the Mandate of Heaven, saying that the way of heaven changes, and the virtuous live in it, and directly changed this saying to change the way of heaven, the Liu family lives in it, and others, even if they seized the country, would not In the long run, you will definitely be punished by God!

He Xiu's new theory has always been popular in the Han Dynasty, and now what the young children in the official school are learning is the post-gongyang spring and autumn revised by He Xiu.

This person's words are obviously a declaration of war on the ram, a challenge to the whole man, denying the man's destiny, what a crime it is!
However, Liu Mastiff was not angry, instead he wanted to see this person even more. He ignored Yuan Shang's objection and led the crowd to Tingwei. When they arrived at Tingwei, Tingwei's soldiers were terrified He hurriedly reported, however, Tingwei was not in the mansion, and the other officials did not dare to stop the prince, so they could only take everyone to meet the madman. Just as he walked to the gate of the prison, Liu Mastiff heard someone singing loudly in the prison.

"Although the Dao is left behind, there are few people who see it, there is nothing wrong with it, and there is nothing wrong with it!"

"It's been around since ancient times, and the twists and turns are trivial. What's the point of all kinds of abuse, it's up to me!"

"Send sorrow to the sky, bury sorrow to the ground, betray the Five Classics, destroy and abandon Fengya!"

"Hundreds of miscellaneous, please use Conghuo, fight against Zhishanxi, and swim in the sea!"

"Vital energy is the boat, the breeze is the rudder, Aoxiang Daqing, indulge your will!"
