Chapter 2396: How Light Is the Country
Xiong Yinggeng obediently went to his grandfather's house to steal the cassock - that was of course also a time for Xinyang Earl to stand in line.
Xinyang Earl's eldest son, Xiong Yinggeng's uncle Wu Zongben, was a useless person who didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. He actually used the power of the entire aristocratic group as his own momentum and dared to openly trample on the hopes of the entire civilian class. It was natural that his hope in life was extinguished.
A siege should be surrounded on three sides and one side should be left open. You can't not give hope when you are being exploited. If you don't give hope, you will usher in the most intense resistance of burning life. Just like the new policy of the Chu State, it is necessary to reform the government, but it will not exterminate the aristocratic family like Wen Jingxiu did. The goodwill expressed by him, the prince who returned from prison, is the hope given to the aristocratic class by the state.
Xiong Yinggeng almost inherited the ignorant part of his useless uncle. He actually felt that the East Palace was empty and everyone had hope. He thought that his other brothers and sisters were so obedient and law-abiding, and they were just not enterprising!
But waste also has the value of waste.
Just like a waste like Wu Zongben, who caused a huge court dispute and almost tore the court apart, making many people face up to the chronic disease of Chu State that had been passed down since the time of Taizu for the first time. In a sense, it became the fuse for the reform of the national dynasty, and then there was the sound of firecrackers that continued for decades.
And a fool like Xiong Yinggeng is most suitable to be caught as a knife - no matter whether the blade is sharp or not, it will be right to unsheathe quickly.
Compared with Wu Zongben and Xiong Yinggeng, Wu Shoujing is a smart man. He can't be called a great wisdom, but at least he can understand his position in the current situation.
That's enough.
With the full support of his father, the emperor, it is not too difficult for Xiong Zidu to grasp the power of the world. But it must be done beautifully, so that people can't find fault.
Isn't this his spring examination?
He is not testing for his father, but for the people of the world.
He wants to prove that he is the most suitable for that position. Everyone thinks so, that is what everyone expects and what people want.
The Crown Prince of Great Chu and the State Master of Great Chu sat in the car without saying a word.
The silence lasted for about the length of a silent chanting of a scripture.
The Crown Prince of Great Chu thought about his world, and the State Master of Great Chu thought about his home.
Uncle Kuxing... what kind of person was that?
Jingli had no impression in his mind.
When Kuxing died, he certainly could remember things, but he had not yet been accepted as a disciple by the master, and had not yet walked up the small mound called Sanbao Mountain. He had never seen this uncle who was said to be the best friend of the master.
No one in the Hanging Temple ever mentioned it.
Kuxing died, as if he had never existed.
The master never told him either.
Jingli did not start asking why until the master died.
Why did the master accept him, why did he accept Zuo Guanglie, and why did he accept the little junior brother.
Three questions, perhaps there is one answer.
The little junior brother had a miserable life and lost his hometown. He was also an orphan. Only the one with the Dharma name "Jinge" might have clues.
So he came to Chu State, and found out why his master came to Chu State that year--
Uncle Kuxing died in the southern region.
He died in the year 3899 of the Dao calendar, at Jiaowu Mountain in Chu State.
This clue was not easy to get.
Jingli was not a person who knew how to investigate, so the process was particularly difficult-Junior Brother used to be a very good Qingpai head of the police, and he must be very good at this, but he didn't want Junior Brother to know about it. Because Junior Brother had worked very hard. And because of the claims of Jingtian Six Friends in Tianjing City.
But there was only one clue about Kuxing.
Jingli followed this clue alone for a long time, but there was no useful information.
It seemed that no one knew why Kuxing died and who killed him, and no one knew what happened in Jiaowu Mountain that year. The history of Jiaowu Mountain that year was blank and was artificially erased.
Until he came to Fengdu Ghost Prison.
Xiong Zidu found the secret scroll hidden by the royal family of Chu State, and detailed the Jiaowu Mountain Incident of that year-it was really a very complicated history.
Involving the three hegemons of Jing, Qin, and Chu, and later the Nandou Hall, the Hanging Temple, and Shushan were also involved. It was a rare melee.
That was the second year after the Jing Kingdom's war against Wei.
The Jing Kingdom, which had freed up its hands, once again laid out its plans for the southern region.
The star wizard Zhuge Yi first made a full-scale attack at Jiaowu Mountain, strongly suppressed the situation, and directly repelled the Northern Heavenly Master Wu Daoyou. In the words of the Chu Kingdom's secret scroll, it was "thwarting the Jingfang conspiracy." It was also at that time that Ying Wu showed his skills strongly, making the Jing Kingdom owe him a favor...
Jingli couldn't understand all these things, and he didn't want to understand them.
He only saw that Kuxing was not killed by the Chu people.
He didn't die at the hands of any other forces.
The person who killed Kuxing was an answer he would never think of on his own. It was the previous abbot of the Hanging Temple-
Bei Huai!
That is, Kuxing's master.
The previous abbot of the Hanging Temple, Master Beihuai, accepted five disciples in total. From oldest to youngest, they are -
Ku Ming, Ku Jue, Ku Di, Ku Bing, and Ku Xing.
Ku Xing died, Ku Jue was in a daze, and the rest are the core of the Hanging Temple today.
One is in charge of the Dragon Subduing Courtyard, one is in charge of the Flower Picking Courtyard, and the other is the current abbot.
When Beihuai was alive, he was known as the "contemporary Buddhist sect", but he didn't deserve the name. At least his ability to accept and teach disciples was unique.
To this day, Jingli still doesn't know why Beihuai killed Ku Xing, and the Chu State can't figure it out. The records in the secret scroll only attribute it to the "internal strife" of the Hanging Temple.
Even the purpose of the monks of the Hanging Temple coming to Jiaowu Mountain is not the same as that of the Jing people. They are not on the same path at all.
Their purpose was not revealed until the end.
It's as if bitterness and sorrow came to Jiaowu Mountain one after another, just to fight here until one party kills the other.
Everyone else became spectators of this master-disciple fight.
The cassock that Kuxing wore before his death went through many twists and turns and finally fell into the hands of Uncle Xinyang.
There may be answers to the suffering of the body and death.
Or at least a thought.
After all, that was the master who was scolded as "disregarding all relatives" and the person he cared about the most.
Then Jingli also cares.
"This younger brother of mine is so stupid." Xiong Zidu suddenly said.
Fanshijue didn't say anything. He was already used to Xiong Zidu talking to himself.
"He doesn't even think about it. There are so many brothers and sisters, why is he the only one who dares to stand in front of me and jump up and down?"
"Because he is the stupidest. He has been beaten so little that he still doesn't know the pain."
"But in the Chu Empire where smart people are everywhere, fools are worth cherishing."
Xiong Zidu added: "Today in the Huangji Palace, the final round of purging the stubborn forces that hinder the New Deal will begin."
It is difficult to fully describe the storm represented by this simple sentence. The great Zhou Tian who filled the hall will have countless stars to fall after today!
"Because I had just been released from prison and publicly stated that I would not express my position on government affairs for the time being, and that I would listen more and watch more before speaking, so this matter has nothing to do with me. But being present is a gesture, and it will be branded no matter what, so I left early."
Xiong Zidu was sitting there, as if he was already sitting in the court: "I will be really present at the next court. As the prince, I must have a stand and express my position. I will save something worth saving. The power of the family - little monk, politics is the dirtiest game in the world. I will dissect its essence to you and reflect it in your mirror. I want to see you turn into black glass, and I hope you won't do this. Do you understand how I feel?"
Master Fanjue glanced at him: "We have agreed a long time ago that we are all practicing."
He holds his glazed heart, and he holds the power of the world. The pair of inmates had indeed made an agreement while in prison. They verified each other's spiritual path, helped each other, and moved forward together. That's why Xiong Zidu analyzed these matters with Master Fan so seriously.
Xiong Zidu looked at him for a while: "You are so serious!"
Master Brahma felt speechless.
Xiong Zidu had long been accustomed to the monk's silence from time to time, and said to himself: "If Xiong Yinggeng was present and was branded, he would never be able to withstand the backlash of that stubborn force. He might even be stupid enough to rule in court. He made a statement in court - to please his father or gain political prestige."
"I'm saving his life."
"I saved his life, not because he was still useful to me, and it was just a matter of convenience to do something with him. But because it would give my father some comfort."
"Isn't it strange?"
Xiong Zidu said leisurely: "My father wants to kill him. He wants to help me kill him, and the knife has already been dropped - but in his heart he hopes that I will save him."
Fanshijue thought for a while and said, "He loves you, but Xiong Yinggeng is also his son."
Xiong Zidu said: "He loves this country. No matter what he compares to it, it is too light."
Fanshijue said: "You don't need to compare with this country, you are with this country."
Xiong Zidu laughed.
After laughing for a long time, he said: "We are really suitable. My Master!"
This is not the first time he has said this.
…
…
"Sister, sister...Sister Shitai." I heard such a voice in my ears.
This is not the first time this sound has sounded.
Except for Yu Xianyu, Lu Ye and Gong Tianya, the rest of this new generation of young geniuses are still at the Youmai realm.
The sound transmission restrained by the power of Youmai Realm is no different from shouting in the Chaowendao Heavenly Palace where strong men gather.
Of course, none of the seekers in the temple would pay special attention to the whispers of children.
At this time, the loud sounds in the palace were the collision of Tao. The speculations honed by practitioners during their long journey of hardship shine in the eyes of seekers - where is the leisure under the bodhi tree?
Yuzhen was a little annoyed.
What others thought was bright and clear, she just thought was noisy.
She doesn't like children.
Dislike very much.
Many people may think that children are innocent, cute, and innocent. It is the most beautiful existence in the world.
Adults' love for children is almost an instinct of life. This is necessary for the continuation of the race.
She believes that children are the cruelest creatures in the world.
Because he is naive, he is cruel.
"Sister Shitai——" Bao Xuanjing shouted softly.
Yuzhen turned around suddenly, and because the movement was too big, several people around him couldn't help but look at her.
Especially the one in armor seemed to be happy to see Xiao Bao learn a lesson.
Bao Xuanjing blinked: "I'm a little curious about Buddhism, especially Xiyue Temple. What are you cultivating...Buddha..."
It stands to reason that once a peerless genius like him shows interest in a certain subject, seniors in the field should rush over to teach him. Xiyue'an has entered the world, sought the throne of the third holy land of Buddhism, and began to embrace the fireworks of the world. Shouldn't we respect a talented person like him who is destined to have a bright future?
If a peerless talent like him comes close to us and even takes refuge, why worry about Xiyue Temple not being able to prosper! Xu Yuanzhi even wrote a letter personally to ask people to pick up Chong Xuanzun.
But Yuzhen just looked at him coldly, seeing his voice getting smaller and smaller, and slowly closing his mouth.
Yu Zhen's eyes were charming, but her expression was cold. Her face was not made up, but her lips were bright, but her face was expressionless. She transmitted the message word by word: "Stinky kid, listen carefully - if you disturb Jiang Zhenjun's lecture, I will take off your pants and spank your buttocks, understand?"
It's amazing.
The White Bone Saint threatened to spank the White Bone God!
"You don't believe it?" Yu Zhen asked again.
Bao Xuanjing said honestly: "I won't talk anymore, Sister Master."
Yu Zhen turned back and continued to look at the Heavenly Man Dharma Image.
The Heavenly Man Dharma Image did not cast a glance here.
But she knew that he could see it all.
Jiang Wang has come to this point today. There are many things he knows, and there are also many things he doesn't know. The larger the circle of known things, the wider the unknown boundaries.
For example, he knows that Jingli has achieved enlightenment, but he doesn't know where Jingli achieved enlightenment.
The tsunami of the Heavenly Dao continued to surge, and he lost the most direct channel of induction. He wrote a letter to ask, but the little senior brother only said that he would tell you next time.
For example, he knew that Master Puen from Mount Xumi also came to the Chaowen Daotian Palace this time, but this great monk did not come to the Dao Lun Hall at all, but went directly to the Dharma Storage Pavilion.
Puen and Cangming are similar but different. If you have to say, Cangming is "closed" and Puen is "avoiding people". In short, neither of them likes to stay in crowded places.
For example, he knew the conversation between Bao Xuanjing and Yuzhen, knew that Bai Gu had come to the world, and Yuzhen was Bai Lian. But he didn't know that right under his nose, the White Bone God and the former White Bone Saint had contact!
"Many things in the world are not as expected, and many things are beyond my control."
Gong Tianya of Yue State did not speak and act like a teenager, and was prematurely matured by the wind and snow. Standing there, he saluted respectfully: "Jiang Zhenjun, the former Yue Jun and Yue Xiang had offended many people, but Gong didn't know. I don't know if Jiang Zhenjun, who felt it deeply, would have any resentment?"
Is this asking about the Tao?
This is of course the Tao.
Because he is not only asking about himself.
Gong Tianya now has lost a relatively strong and stable southern country as a strong backing, and has a precarious homeland that needs him to grow up as soon as possible.
Of course, external peace is visible.
At least at this stage, Yue State has completely lost its threat and has no possibility of becoming the defending country of the Central Region, so there is no need for Chu State to launch a war.
"You said that it was painful, I am the shopkeeper of Baiyujing Restaurant, and I almost broke my sword in Yuetu. However, Yuetu is the home country of Wen Jingxiu and the hometown of Bai Yuxia. Should I transfer my resentment or my love?"
Jiang Wang said again: "There is no resentment in this heart, why should I transfer it?"
"It is said that when you carry a sharp weapon, the killing intention arises naturally." Gong Tianya has sword eyebrows and bright eyes, which is the demeanor of a young man, and he looks at the peak demeanor: "You are both powerful and self-respecting. There should be no one in the world who offends me, and Yue Jun is rude and rude first! Why don't you have resentment?"
Jiang Wang said: "Carrying a sharp weapon , hidden in the sheath. We have practiced sword for twenty years, and will use the sword for a lifetime! We are famous and powerful, but we should know how precious our lives are. Although the sword is sharp, we should not use it lightly. "
The celestial being looked at the young man in front of him, knowing his burden, and said: "There are many heroes in Yue! Yue Zong Gaoxiang has the friendship of teaching, and Qiantang years have the virtue of cleansing the body. Although I have reached the top, I have not forgotten the past, and the past is not only hatred. Yue has nothing to owe me, and you, Gong Tianya, have nothing to do with me. It is the fate of asking for the way today. "
Gong Tianya is as tall as a jade tree, and he bowed his hands: "So, I know it!"
