The rise of the prince

Chapter 178 A Sudden Opportunity

Chapter 178 A Sudden Opportunity
The ancients respected the north, and the building faces the south, and the venerable is located in the north of the table. Therefore, Xiangshan in the north of the city is the place where many people in Beijing worship the mountain god every year.

However, the worship is not random. Most of them are people from the counties outside the city. The cottages are used as brigades. up the hill.

Therefore, there are always many people in Xiangshan, but there are few rich and noble families like Li Ye, who attract many people's attention.

In fact, they are very plainly dressed, and sharp-eyed people can still spot them at once.

After all, Yan Shen took the nursing home, pulled a sheep, and carried a chicken. The utensils were brand new and complete, and ordinary people did not have this kind of battle.

It happened to be noon when we climbed to the middle of Xiangshan Mountain, and the weather warmed up after the year. At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and all the nursing homes were extremely hot, with dry mouth and tongue.

Although the two little girls, Qiu'er and Yue'er, usually do housework, they haven't done any physical work in the palace since they were young, and they are exhausted after walking halfway up the mountain.

Looking at the two girls with a funny face, he took the sweet wine in their hands, and said: "Let's rest for a while before we go, anyway, the sheep are small."

Before going up the mountain, Li Ye had considered this problem, so he repeatedly asked Yan Shen to buy a young tender sheep when buying sheep, so that the meat would be cooked quickly and he would not have to rush up the mountain.

So Li Ye took everyone to rest in a big tree in the middle of the mountain, and distributed the sweet liquor in his hand to the nurse and the two maids. Although everyone was thirsty, they didn't worship the mountain god after all, so no one dared to drink it. .

Only Qiu'er didn't care. The more she thought about it, the more she understood. Knowledge makes people fearless.

Li Ye drank the icy sweet white wine with ice cubes, it was so refreshing, the ice was not from the ice cellar of the palace, the palace also had an ice cellar, but this year Li Ye didn't let them store ice because it was troublesome and expensive.Now he has potassium nitrate, so he can make ice by himself at any time, and it is very convenient to make it whenever he needs it.

He laughed at the hot and thirsty nurse who fell to the ground and said: "You are like a bunch of dead dogs. If you die of thirst on the way, how can you worship the mountain god? Drink it, the mountain god will definitely forgive you."

When he said this, many nurses laughed, and then followed suit.

In fact, the core values ​​of the Chinese nation have always been that they do not believe in ghosts and gods. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Shangqing bluntly said that "the people are the masters of the gods".

Many people always say that Chinese people lack faith, but those who say this don't even understand what faith is.China has no beliefs since ancient times. This is not an exaggeration. For example, if a student wants to take an exam, he will go to worship Confucius. If it fails, he will go to Wenquxing. There are all kinds.

Have you ever seen Christians worship Allah if they fail to pray to God?

Therefore, the Chinese nation is not a family that believes in a certain god, but a civilization that continues and develops around a core value. At the beginning, Zhouli, and later the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, and after the May [-]th Movement, the three cardinal principles and five constant principles were overthrown, and people were in a The old core values ​​have been overthrown, and the new core values ​​have not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it is inevitable to be confused and empty in the heart.

When the core values ​​cannot adapt to social progress, they will be eliminated, and every change of the core values ​​requires countless blood, long time and a lot of effort.

From a psychological point of view, human beings are creatures that live above cognition. People construct a cognition of the world, such as where people come from, where the world comes from, and where they will go after death. Different times have different s answer.The ancients said that the world was created by Pan Gu, and that people came from reincarnation and turned into ghosts after death to reincarnate. Modern people say that the universe came from the big bang.

With the advancement of human cognition, cognition is constantly being updated and replaced.In modern times, it has become a science that builds a basic world view, and maybe one day the science that humans currently know will be overthrown again and replaced by new cognition.

So if you want to change people, you need to change the cognition of building the world.For example, Jesus changed the world in people's eyes once, Newton changed it once, and Hawking changed it again. Every word changes the world in the eyes of human beings, and people are also different.

This kind of change is what Li Ye wants.

After drinking sweet white wine, basking in the sun, and almost falling asleep in a daze, I suddenly heard my name being called.

Li Ye turned around and found that he was not someone he knew at all. He mobilized the memory in his mind, but still found nothing.

"Old man Zhong Daoyu." The other party arched his hands and said.

Li Ye was stunned for a moment.
He never expected that he could meet the great general of the dynasty when he went up to the mountain to worship a mountain god.

However, Zhong Daoyu was different from what he had imagined. Although the old man had white hair and beard, he was very energetic. He was obviously older than the emperor, but he looked much more energetic than the emperor and Degong.

He was broad-boned, but lean, with large knuckles in his fingers.

"The great general also believes in ghosts and gods?" Li Ye asked curiously as he walked. Zhong Daoyu had only one entourage. The entourage was tall and powerful, carrying chicken, wine and rice in his hands.

The old man said: "If you don't believe me, I'm here to worship my brother, not the mountain god."

"Sacrificing people should not go to the grave, how could they come to the mountain?"

Zhong Daoyu walked unhappily, and said as he walked, "Many people don't have tombs, so they can only worship at high places, so that everyone can see them."

Li Ye understood, he was talking about the people who died in battle: "Since you don't believe in ghosts and gods, what's the use of worshiping?"

He shook his head: "Worship is to make oneself feel at ease, not for ghosts and gods. If there are ghosts and gods, how can this old man live in peace?"

When Zhong Daoyu talked to Li Ye, no one else dared to intervene, especially after knowing his identity.

Li Ye somewhat understood that Zhong Daoyu was a general of the Jing Dynasty, in charge of the Privy Council, with a high position and authority.But people have worries, whether they are superior or inferior, their positions are different, and their worries are different. Although he is in a high position, he has been fighting north and south all his life. The real god of war on the battlefield, his old friends also Well, no matter the enemy, I don't know how many people have died, this is a threshold that I can't get past.

"I kind of understand what it means to be successful once everything is done." Li Ye said.

"One general succeeds and ten thousand bones die." Zhong Daoyu recited it again, and then said: "Your Majesty is indeed very talented."

Li Ye laughed, he was very talented, he was worthy of being a warrior, and he never shy away from using words when speaking.

After that, they rested for a while on the pavilion in the middle of the mountain. After all, Zhong Daoyu was old and walked slowly, but he was the first to find him, so it was not good to abandon others halfway, so they had to wait for him.

Zhong Daoyu's speech was short, probably a habit developed in the army.

The general's order should not be too long, because if it is too long, it is easy to forget and make mistakes after being passed on by word of mouth. Therefore, over time, people in the ancient army spoke short and concise words, so many incidents have occurred in history.

While chatting, Zhong Daoyu actually talked about the restructuring of the army.

When he mentioned Li Ye, he was taken aback, military reform?

"What is military reform?"

"Your Majesty, don't chat with this old man." Zhong Daoyu said bluntly.

"The old man sent someone to investigate. At the beginning, Wang Yue made a statement, which made His Majesty think about reforming the military system. He also said high-level opinions, but he refused to reveal his name.

The entire memorial and discussion took the Guanbei War as an example, so I thought that there were not many people in Beijing who knew about the Guanbei War. Wei Chaoren was in Yushitai prison, and only the Wei family siblings were outside. After checking, the Wei family siblings were actually in your house. Wang Yue I also often go in and out of Prince Xiao's mansion, if not you, who else would there be? "

Zhong Daoyu said slowly, but Li Ye's face became more and more unsightly. After coming to this world, it was the first time someone found out his secret through reasoning and investigation.

"Isn't General Zhong afraid of my revenge for spying on others like this?" Li Ye asked with a smile. Although he said with a smile, the more he smiled, the more serious he was.

Zhong Daoyu also laughed: "Hahaha, I believed five points before, but now I believe nine points after listening to your words. He has a talent for strategy but doesn't tell the emperor directly, he must have scruples in his heart. Then you make sense. Your Majesty is old, and no one wants Prince Xiao's son to be a capable person at this time."

Li Ye said lightly: "General Zhong knows now, what's the next plan?"

"The old man said, I will ask you for advice." He cupped his hands.

Li Ye frowned, he thought that he would have malicious intentions in trying so hard to find out his details: "What does the general want to ask?"

"The matter of reforming the military system." He sighed as he spoke.

"The old man has already mentioned this matter in the court. Before, everyone opposed it, and so did His Majesty. Now His Majesty agrees, but many ministers ignore it.

The commander in front of the palace and the infantry commander of the guard army opposed the old man. I knew it. After all, the military system was changed to the Sanya. As the officials of the Sanya, they naturally opposed it, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were equally indifferent.

This is a major matter for the family and the country, and it is the life and death of the country, but why all the ministers ignore it, is it possible that there are no people who are loyal to the country in the Manchu Dynasty, the old man really can't figure it out. "
