Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 108

The sound of the spring thunder is to frighten the stings and deter the evil spirits. The Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court patrols. If you don’t take a snack, you may die under the thunder in vain.

This terrifying thunder sound woke up King Yu. He felt the fear instinctively and trembled. He had never felt such fear like this, even if the rebel army came to the city 20 years ago.

"Hurry up and invite the national teacher!" Even in the middle of the night, King Yu shouted after being frightened by the rumbling thunder.

After a while, the national teacher came in a hurry, and the first thing he saw was King Yu, who was shivering like chaff, wrapped in a quilt, and he was frightened from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty, who are you?" Looking at King Yu with a trembling gray beard, the national teacher vaguely guessed.

"Thunder, the sound of thunder is so terrifying..." King Yu said in horror, feeling fear and fear from the bottom of his heart.

"That's because Your Majesty's demonization has become more serious. The sound of thunder is to deter evil spirits." The national teacher pointed it out directly.

"How can it be so terrifying, my heart is about to jump out." Clutching the quilt tightly, King Yu said in fear.

"Thunder is so terrifying to the demon clan. Otherwise, what would the monks practice diligently to practice the five thunders method? This is just one aspect. There are many taboos in being a demon, avoiding kingly aura, popularity, and restraining appetite." The national teacher pitied Say, it's not easy to tell who is a demon.

"Is there any way to relieve it?" King Yu asked impatiently after talking with someone and knowing the reason of his fear.

"I haven't really studied this, but it might be better to take two elixir of requieming the soul." The national teacher took out a bottle of elixir and presented it to King Yu, who couldn't wait to eat it.

There was thunder outside and lightning flashed. King Yu showed a calm look on his face, and he calmed down after taking the elixir.

"Thank you for your hard work, National Teacher." King Yu showed gratitude.

"Your Majesty's words are serious. If there is nothing else to do, I will leave." The national teacher shook his head, bowed and beat him.

"Wait, national teacher, please talk to me, I don't have a few days to live anyway." King Yu begged, and the emperor's face showed a few pleading looks.

"Your Majesty, be careful." The national teacher advised with a serious expression.

"Be careful what you say. You know your own situation. It's like knowing how much crime you have. If I want to say that I don't know how long my life is, I won't believe it myself." King Yu showed his response at this time. Some calmly.

"Say something like this rashly, I'm afraid someone has a heart..." The national teacher didn't speak anymore, because there were only two people in the palace.

"National teacher, you said that the Yu country fell apart, and the crimes of the Li people's homelessness should be borne on my head." King Yu retracted his hands under the quilt after eating the elixir.

"It should be." The national teacher was vague.

"Wouldn't it be a lesser crime if we appoint a heir to a high position now?" King Yu took a deep breath, calming down the state of mind that had just been frightened by the thunder.

"It doesn't have to be...it is still necessary to select talents." The national teacher saw the weakness of King Yu and reminded him.

"Then what should we do? These evil animals have not learned well." King Yu sighed as he thought of his sons.

"You don't want to think about whose fault it is that they don't learn well." The national teacher slandered, but on the surface, the situation was calm, and he didn't care about King Yu's successor, and smiled without saying a word.

"In the final analysis, it is to let them kill a virtuous person." Yu Wang sighed, and then said helplessly: "What if they can't kill him?"

"The people will elect a new king." The national teacher said in a calm tone.

King Yu was not in the mood to reprimand him for his treachery. Instead, he followed his words and said, "Can the new king make up for my crimes?"

"What is your relationship with him? He can make up for your sins. He did it as his karma, and you never supported him." The national teacher looked at King Yu, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and said amusedly, now he knows the crime s consequence?
"That's right, the people I supported were not up to the mark, either they were incompetent, or they corrupted too quickly." King Yu said with a sigh.

Today, I was woken up by the sound of thunder, which was especially frightening. I was so frightened that the sound of thunder beat on my chest, recalling my inaction, King Yu's eyes were moist.

I always regret it after the consequences of things are revealed. When I indulge and wanton, it doesn't matter even if I know, the consequences will be borne by my future self.

"People's hearts are unpredictable. I have said thousands of times to be good, but in the end there are still many evil things. Human nature is evil. A wise man can keep his duty when he is poor and humble, but he may not be able to do it when he is rich." The national teacher also understands Yu The efforts of the king, but in the face of a king who has fallen himself, it is too difficult to ask sages to be sages.

"Now there is only Zhuang Xun left. I don't know how long he can last. Is there something wrong with my eyes? Zhuang Qing was born so beautiful?" King Yu asked suspiciously.

"You can marry a wife and come back together, but the other party likes him so much?" Even if you are not a regular wife, can you still eat soft rice like this?

"Your majesty's eyes are pretty good, and my minister's eyes are not bad either. Maybe it's because the Li family is eager to marry a daughter immediately." The national teacher could only guess so.

"No matter how much you worry about marrying, you won't be able to marry as a dowry, and Cheng Guo has wanted to take the land of Hebei for a long time, so how can you give it back so easily." King Yu didn't believe this reason.

It's just that he didn't have a good reason, so he thought for a while and said casually: "It's impossible to be like me, think that he has a kind face, let's make a good relationship."

"It's not certain, after all, King Cheng believes in gods and Buddhas..." the national teacher said quietly.

"He is going back to Hebei Road, and many ministers have suggested to me to take back Hebei Road, what do you think, the National Teacher." King Yu asked for the opinion of the National Teacher.

"It's inconvenient for me to say more about this kind of military and state affairs." The national teacher has lost his attitude towards this kind of matter. King Yu thought of waiting to transform the demon quietly, but he also just wanted to wait for death quietly. King Yu polished his mind, and he It also polishes the mind.

"I think they are just daydreaming. They don't do much in a day. They think beautifully. They still pose a threat to me. I don't know if they are a threat or not?" King Yu scolded, angry and angry at the ministers below. disappointment.

"Your Majesty, to appease your anger, to appease your anger is also for your majesty's consideration..." the national teacher said reassuringly, he was afraid that the effect of his elixir would be lost if he was burned by anger.

"For me? It's not for their own sake. I'm too embarrassed to expose them. All of them are high-sounding and nice-sounding, and I want to use me as a shield. I once promised Zhuang Qing that Hebei Dao was negotiated. When he arrives in Jiannan Dao, he will take up the post of Jiannan Dao, and if he can get back two Dao, he will take up the post of two Dao, do you want me to renege on my promise now?"

What did King Yu think at the beginning? He felt that Zhuang Xun had some amazing abilities, that is, replacing Jiannan Dao with Hebei Dao. After all, Hebei Dao is much better than Jiannan's current situation. The two have to come back.

"One person masters two ways, which is something that even the king can't achieve. There is nothing to criticize for the proposals of the ministers, but His Majesty's promise violates the principles of the monarch." The position of the ministers here is similar to that of the ministers.

Moreover, the prefecture and county officials in these two provinces were not appointed by the imperial court, but by Zhuang Xun. Leaving aside Jiannan, Hebei Province was simply Zhuang Xun's private kingdom. This seemed too much, and it was normal for ministers to object.

"I took it back with my own ability, and snatched it from others. I still have to show my face. Didn't the national teacher protect Zhuang Qing? Why are you helping others today?" King Yu was a little surprised. He came to the national teacher to look for it. I agree, why is the national teacher still standing on the opposite side of him.

"The old Taoist is only protecting the country of Yu, and he is in charge of the two ways. Yushi Zhuang has indeed threatened the country of Yu. The princes are in civil strife. He sent troops out of Hebei, forming a stack, and changing dynasties, and it is only a moment." The national teacher issued a message to King Yu. Warning, he appreciates Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun is also his sapling, but his position is Yu Guo.

"This..." King Yu took a long time to test the words of the national teacher, and it was indeed true after analysis.

"At the beginning, His Majesty gave Zhuang Yushi a land in order to let him show his strategy and at the same time protect him from being hurt by the prince's dispute. But now, after digesting Jiannan and Hebei, he is no longer protecting himself, but He has the strength to compete for the big position.”

Seeing that King Yu was thinking about it, the national teacher continued, explaining his previous purpose, and comparing it with Zhuang Xun's current strength, as for how to deal with it, it was up to King Yu.

King Yu paused for a moment, and then looked like a sculpture, the wind and rain outside, lightning and thunder, but inside the palace, it was eerily quiet.

In the low-pressure air, the national teacher lowered his eyes. If the king of Yu didn't call him today, he wouldn't say such a thing, but since he was called, it is natural to be loyal to the king, even if it is his sapling.

What kind of decision will the wary King Yu make? The national teacher has no idea whether being more radical will intensify the conflict. Zhuang Xun's character is not to swallow his anger, but this is his position. As a national teacher, he has this position Point out this hidden danger for King Yu.

"I heard that with the help of Mrs. Jiang, Zhuang Qing recruited officials to re-divide the land in Jiannan Road, so that the cultivators can have their fields, and use good seeds to teach farmers how to use them." No, King Yu said aloud, unable to hear his attitude, and briefly discussed the matter.

"There is such a thing. Zhuang Yushi is a good official. The refugees were resettled, given food before the autumn harvest, and organized the maintenance of dams, etc., confiscated the land of the dead and escaped Haoqiang, and redistributed the land according to the population. , the people from Jiannan Road who fled originally heard about it, and now they are all rushing back. After the beginning of spring, there are very few fleeing people from Xihe County in Yindu."

The national teacher caressed his beard, no matter who he relied on, Zhuang Xun’s merits and virtues would be reaped, and he could share a little bit of it. Although it was still a drop in the bucket for him, at most he would be able to choose a happy family in his next life. Yes, but immortal cultivators are two-faced people. On the one hand, they are indifferent to suffering because there is no reason to act, and on the other hand, they are happy to see someone solve this kind of thing.

"He is very talented in governing the country, right? He does not collect poll tax, but only collects land tax, so as to encourage births. He really dares to do so." King Yu chuckled. Judging from the information he received, the revival of Jiannan Road may be better than expected It was much earlier and the policy was radical.

Fortunately, the powerful families in Jiannan Road are almost dead, and a small number of people can't make waves, otherwise he can imagine how much backlash it will cause, and it is definitely not just the current situation just to persuade him to take action.

He also didn't know that Zhuang Xun just listened to the report, and the remote command was done by Si Qinmi, but the result is certain and obvious to all. In just a few months, Jiannan Road has been thriving, so he affirmed Zhuang Xun. Ability to inquire about state governance.

Hearing the praise in King Yu's tone, the national teacher knew that what he was most worried about did not happen. After the bad words were finished, he began to say good things.

"He has a sense of propriety, and he is only doing it in Jiannan Road, a land with few people. He didn't move much in Hebei Road, and still governed by the original law." The national teacher is also very concerned about Zhuang Xun, after all, people are free , which belongs to sitting and waiting for the end of life.

The reason why the domestic aristocratic families can still sit still is because Zhuang Xun's policy is only limited to Jiannan Road, so everyone thinks it is a temporary measure to ensure population growth.

"National teacher, look at my children, is there really any one who can be saved?" King Yu suddenly changed the topic and returned to the issue of heirs.

"Everything... the minister has said it all, and the minister has no opinion or anything to say about the issue of Li Chu." The national teacher insisted that the prominence is that one does not want to get along with anyone.

"I understand." King Yu's expression was a little gloomy, and then a little more relieved.

"Does the national teacher know the origin of our Yu country?" King Yu became relaxed, as if he had let go of something.

"This old man has done a bit of research. After the state of Ji fell apart, guarding..." The national teacher has done his homework, at least he is clear about the history of the founding of the state of Yu.

"That's not it. Does the national teacher know the origin of the name of Yu Kingdom?" King Yu let go of the quilt and stood up slowly. Seeing this, the national teacher hurried to help him.

With his support, King Yu went to the bookshelf and flipped through things with difficulty.

"Whatever your majesty is looking for, the old man is fine. You can rest." Seeing how hard he was working, the national teacher offered to say.

"I found it." King Yu took out a yellowed book, slowly returned to the bed with the support of the national teacher, and opened the pages.

"What is Your Majesty looking for?" the national teacher asked curiously.

"Look for the source of our country name, Yao and Shun abdicated." King Yu said flipping through yellowed books.

Before the national teacher's surprised expression took shape, King Yu looked at the book and continued: "The two ancient kings, one named Yao and the other named Shun, were virtuous, so Yao abdicated the throne to Shun, and also gave the two A daughter married to him named Ehuang Nvying."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" The national teacher felt trembling in his heart, vaguely touching King Yu's thoughts.

"Our family name is Tang, and it is said that we are descendants of Yao. When the ancestors founded the country, they held this legend. They were afraid that their country would be taken away, so they simply called the country Yu, because the person who was abdicated was called Yu Shun, and Yu was a fiefdom. And his country name, thinking that this would avoid the ending of the country being taken away, saying that he grafted luck, it seems that there is no Yu country, and the fate of being abdicated will be inevitable." Yu Wang laughed when he said this.

"Look at Zhuang Qing, is she more competitive than my children?" Yu Wang said with some relief, the meaning was already obvious.

"Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette. I am afraid that the ministers will find it difficult to accept it, and the kings will also find it difficult to accept it. Besides, Zhuang Xun is not sure that he must be a real dragon." The national teacher persuaded that King Yu's idea was too bold.

The real dragon is probably King Zhao, after all, Empress Xuannv has already placed her bets.

"I know, you said that I want to give up the position Zen in a hurry, can he hold it back? Or he has to be strong enough to take over the great treasure. I just said, I don't care how many Taos he has in his hand now." Yu Yu Wang's face became radiant and full of energy.

"If he is a real dragon, he will prosper when he encounters water. I won't be an obstacle for him to jump over the dragon's gate. Isn't it good for me to be a ladder for him to climb?"

"Let him fight with that group of evil obstacles, isn't the real dragon clear at a glance?"

"It won't get any worse anyway."
