Chapter 1659 Thinking
"The Yin and Yang Emperors, one is Emperor Jing, the other is King Liang!"

"Is this revenge against King Liang?"

Information on many things is delayed, and it may not be fully understood until long after a person's death.

Zhang Xuezhou had seen Emperor Jing and Prince Liang fighting to the death, and he also dragged Prince Huainan into the battle.

Zhang Xuezhou once believed that Emperor Jing and Prince Liang were fighting within the royal family, but he did not expect that the two of them cooperated and almost deceived everyone.

It is no wonder that Prince Liang wanted to become emperor, and Emperor Jing wanted to drag Prince Liang to die with him.

Prince of Liang served as the head of the dynasty when Emperor Jing was away from court. He was almost another emperor. If Emperor Jing died, he could perfectly replace him. Or even if Emperor Jing only needed to die quietly, Prince of Liang would become the new Emperor Jing.

There is a high probability that Emperor Jing was afraid that everything he had after his death would be replaced by King Liang. After being injured, he constantly encouraged King Liang to practice dangerous things such as fortune-telling and physiognomy, which also blocked the other party's possibility of recovery, and finally dragged King Liang with him.

Combined with some of the information provided by Yao Yuanguang, many things kept turning around in Zhang Xuezhou's mind.

King Liang did not get any good things, but he suffered a lot of bad things, and even his successor was affected.

"The emperor is truly a fierce tiger!"

He himself is not good at martial arts, but Emperor Jing has the Prince of Huainan who is good at martial arts as a backup. Even after being seriously injured in a fierce battle with His Majesty, he is able to clear many obstacles.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that it was not unfair that Emperor Jing’s tomb was destroyed again and again.

From Emperor Jing's point of view, he did nothing wrong.

But as long as you stand in other people's shoes, Emperor Jing's capriciousness and cruelty are difficult to accept, even for his most tacit and trusted brothers.

"If Prince Liang and Emperor Jing were brothers and couldn't avoid a fight, how can I avoid a fight with Your Majesty?"

Anyone who relies on the emperor's generosity and kindness for everything is undoubtedly the biggest fool.

Zhang Xuezhou did not study genetics in college, but the genetic knowledge he learned in junior high and high school can also judge many things.

Biological genes will be deeply engraved in the body's memory and passed down. Half of the genes in the new emperor's body originated from Emperor Jing, and he will inevitably bear the great influence of Emperor Jing, even if Emperor Jing is dead.

A dog will always eat shit, and a cuckoo is born with the ability to push other birds out of the nest. The genetic memory tells the body what to do when making a choice.

If the genes of the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty have limited influence on the new emperor, the new emperor will be another replica of Emperor Jing.

When it comes to treating his subjects, the new emperor's behavior pattern will not be much different from that of Emperor Jing.

No matter how well the new emperor treats people, this type of emperor will not hesitate to take ruthless action.

The news about Liang State that Yao Yuanguang conveyed was of no practical use to Zhang Xuezhou, but he used it to further understand Emperor Jing and also had a scope for evaluating the character of the new emperor.

"Happy cooperation!"

After whispering to each other, Zhang Xuezhou and Yao Yuanguang both felt that they had gained a lot, but it seemed that there was no practical effect.

Zhang Xuezhou did not get any actual benefits, and Yao Yuanguang still did not know the owner of the secret place, nor did he know how to enter the secret place.

The information between the two is extremely confidential but lacks any impact on individuals.

If you have to say there is a benefit, it is that the two of them have become more stable in their mentality.

Zhang Xuezhou had his own assessment, while Yao Yuanguang was certain that there was a large tripod in the secret place and knew that this clue of investigation was feasible.

He was extremely annoyed and clapped his hands with Zhang Xuezhou, and couldn't help but think of the more than one hundred "human medicines" that Zhang Xuezhou mentioned that were imprisoned in the Huainan Palace.

This is not an easy job. People are not commodities, and even if Yao Yuanguang gets them, he has to be able to deliver them safely.

But compared with the conflict with the Lord of the Holy Land, dealing with the King of Huainan does not seem that difficult.

Moreover, with more than a hundred "human medicines" in hand, Zhang Xuezhou has to answer at least a hundred questions. This is enough for Yao Yuanguang to ask Zhang Xuezhou's ancestors for three generations.

Yao Yuanguang was very satisfied with this task, and felt that once he completed it, Zhang Xuezhou would not be able to do anything tricky in the future. "See you next time!"

Grabbing a half-pound donkey hoof from the dining table, Yao Yuan quit the job quickly and even closed the door for Zhang Xuezhou and the others.

"This old fortune teller seems to have an extraordinary background?"

Only after seeing Yao Yuanguang leave did Gongsun Hong ask in a low voice.

"Isn't it better if someone has an extraordinary background?" Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile, "The more extraordinary the person's background, the more accurate their physiognomy will be!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Gongsun Hong smiled awkwardly.

He originally wanted to find out some relevant information from Zhang Xuezhou, but Zhang Xuezhou's reply made Gongsun Hong blush slightly.

Whenever Gongsun Hong thought of Yao Yuanguang mentioning 'the appearance of the Azure Dragon', 'entering the imperial court', and 'being granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister', he could not help but feel joy in his heart.

He felt a bit like an old man rekindling his youth, and he felt as if the impulses of adolescence had suddenly returned to him.

However, this was not something that could be made public. If everything was successful, it would be easy to talk about, but since it had not yet been made public, Gongsun Hong had no choice but to tactfully remind Zhang Xuezhou not to spread the news everywhere, lest he be embarrassed at that time.

"Don't worry, I won't spread rumors," Zhang Xuezhou assured, "I'm counting on you to give me some advice when you return to Chang'an City!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Gongsun Hong agreed repeatedly.

Zhang Xuezhou's words were not intended as a compliment, but rather that Zhang Xuezhou had just entered the court in Chang'an City, and it would be impossible for him to be promoted to an important position within ten or eight years.

As long as Dong Zhongshu supports him, Gongsun Hong, who has the support of Confucianism, will have a certain amount of power when he enters the court, and his promotion speed after making meritorious services will be much faster than that of ordinary officials.

Although Gongsun Hong will enter Chang'an City later, his official rank will most likely be higher than Zhang Xuezhou's, and he will be promoted faster than the other.

When Zhang Xuezhou asked him to give some advice, it was not just a polite compliment, but it was a reality that was likely to occur.

Gongsun Hong was so happy about what was said that he stopped thinking about Zhang Xuezhou and Yao Yuanguang's mutterings for a moment.

From today on, he is a confident person.

As long as he can hold on until he can move into Chang'an City, everything he has will not be much worse than what Shen Peigong has.

Gongsun Hong felt great, as if spring had come and flowers were blooming in his heart.

"I probably won't be able to return to Chang'an so soon. I can only stay at home for the next few years." Gongsun Hong thought for a while and said, "It just so happens that I am more familiar with the East China Sea. If you have time off in the court, I can take you to the East China Sea for a tour. It won't be difficult to find some high-quality agarwood on the island. If we can find the mechanical city of the Mohist school, it will be a great opportunity!"

"Go to sea?"

"Yes, you don't have to worry about falling into the water if you follow me. I'm a pretty good swimmer!"

Gongsun Hong recommended Zhang Xuezhou to purchase agarwood as a material for making ambergris, but Zhang Xuezhou only felt that he had vaguely heard of the Mohist Mechanical City in the past.

When Zhang Xuezhou recalled that he and Dong Zhongshu, Jinchang and others went to the Huainan Palace to present the first-class technique and seek entry into the Wenying Pavilion, he remembered that Dong Zhongshu had mentioned the Mohist Mechanical City.

Zhang Xuezhou had some thoughts in his mind, and Gongsun Hong also had some thoughts when he looked at Zhang Xuezhou.

If there was no need, Gongsun Hong would not have brought a burden to the East China Sea.

But after seeing how friendly Zhang Xuezhou gets along with the Dragon Kings, Zhang Xuezhou, as a burden, becomes more important.

Even if Zhang Xuezhou can't help, having him as a mascot will be more useful than many people.

If we ask people whether they are familiar with a certain place in the sea, it would definitely not be humans, but the aquatic creatures swimming in the sea. However, the relationship between humans and aquatic creatures is not very good.

A more reliable bridge is also important. Even if Zhang Xuezhou cannot obtain relevant information through it, at least it is possible to prevent the risks brought by aquatic creatures, especially those involving high-level aquatic creatures.
