After the next court, Zhaochang Mansion is up.

At this time, Zhao Chang showed a look of resentment on his face, and vigorously threw the books "Book of Songs" and "Lao Tzu" rewarded by the King of Chu on the case, and said angrily: "Damn, the king is eccentric, and he actually came forward to defend Qu Yuan in person." ”

Jing Shao, who was following behind Zhao Chang, heard this, and while caressing the paper book in his hand, he shook his head and comforted: "Why should Zuo Yin be like this, that traitor Qu Yuan encouraged the king to implement the law change, and now the law has been effective, and the king intends to favor Qu Yuan, which is also expected." And in today's court discussion, the king did not favor Qu Yuan much. ”

Speaking of this, Jing Shao complained: "Compared with the king's favoritism towards Qu Yuan, I am even more angry with Fan Huan.

In the past, Fan Huan's voice against the change of the law was louder than anyone else's, and his attitude was resolute, as if he was incompatible with the new law. Although Fan Huan did not attend the last banquet, he also thought that he would wait for the opportunity to move.

However, at today's court meeting, we have already mobilized our ministers to put pressure on the king, and as a result, he has been like a pillar, motionless, completely ignoring our efforts. ”

"Humph!" Jing Shao snorted coldly: "If it weren't for Fan Huan and the others not responding to us today, otherwise, relying on the two of us to join forces to put pressure on the king, how could the king easily refuse our request." ”

Zhao Chang sighed: "This is where I said that the king is biased, Fan Huan has always opposed the new law, why don't you move in the hall today?" ”

"Huh?" Jing Shao was stunned and said strangely: "What does Zuo Yin think is the reason?" Fan Huan has always been upright, and he has admonished the king many times, even the king can make him go against his will, if it is not for his own unwillingness, I am afraid that no one can threaten him. ”

"Is there really no one who can force him? I can't see it. Zhao Chang sneered: "In the past, we forcibly recommended Jing Que to take the position of Sima, because we knew that Jing Que was resolutely opposed to the king's change of law.

But now? The king forcibly exchanged 3,000 households for Jing Que's 10,000 private families in Hanbei, do you see that Jing Que resisted, since Jing Que returned to Yingdu, not only did he rarely leave his mansion, but he never spoke in the court, do you say that Jing Que is voluntary? ”

Jing Shao was stunned: "You mean..."

"Who else is there besides the king, since the king could threaten Sima Jingque before, then now the king can threaten Xianyin Fanhuan." Zhao Chang said with an affirmative face: "I must have said that the movement of our contact with the ministers was too big before, which made the king fearful in his heart, so the king threatened Fan Huan with a personal matter in advance." ”

"No, it won't." Jing Shao looked at Zhao Chang in disbelief: "If this is really the case, wouldn't it be better for the king to directly threaten you and me." ”

Zhao Chang glanced at Jing Shao: "Doctor, Chang Xing sits up straight, how can there be any personal things." Besides, I'm the kind of person who will give in? ”

“···” Jing Shao looked at Zhao Chang's disdainful eyes, remembered Jing Quelai, and couldn't help but see it in his heart. Then, he immediately changed the topic and said: "Zuo Yin, don't talk about this, now the king has asked Sun Hao and Qu to go to Jianghuai to investigate, this is our opportunity, as long as Qu Shu can stand on our side and expose the tyranny of the new law."

Then when the two of them return, we can move the king to suspend the new law in one fell swoop. ”

"It's easy to do the resignation, as long as we inform the six monarchs to prepare in advance, even if the resignation is not on our side, he won't find out anything?" Zhao Chang frowned, and said with a worried face: "Now I'm more worried about the Black Emperor. ”

"Black Emperor?" Jing Shao's heart suddenly burst when he heard this, and then his eyes suddenly glanced down, and after seeing the two classics rewarded by the king in his hand, his hand holding the classics couldn't help but tighten slightly.

The heavens and gods are really terrifying, especially the legendary god who can make up for the heavens and create people.

At this time, Zhao Chang picked up the book "Lao Tzu" from the case, turned two pages, and sighed: "These classics are beautifully written, the size is the same, and they are neatly arranged, as if all the classics were copied by the same person."

And it is impossible for a person to copy so many texts and still want all the words to be written exactly the same. In addition, at today's court meeting, Gong Yin took out two large boxes of classics in one go.

Therefore, I suspect that the Wahuang paper and various classics have probably been made by Gong Yin a long time ago, and now the king is taking out these things at this time, I am afraid that he wants to borrow the power of the Black Emperor. ”

"Not good." Jing Shao was shocked: "The Great Kingdom sacrifices to the Black Emperor, I'm afraid it's borrowing the power of the Black Emperor, once the sacrifice is completed, don't talk about the nobles who are still swaying, I'm afraid it's the six monarchs and eighteen of them, and there will be people who retreat because they are afraid of the Black Emperor's divine might." ”

"Exactly." Zhao Chang nodded, "So we need to prepare in advance." ”

Jing Shao said in fear: "But that's the Black Emperor!" We are not great witches, how can we communicate with the gods, and even if we are great witches, we can't respond to every request. ”

Zhao Chang smiled when he heard this, raised the book in his hand, and said with a smile: "I have a way." ”

"Lao Tzu?"

At this time, Zhao Chang opened "Lao Tzu", turned to one of the pages, and read: "Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh." The Tao comes to the world, and its ghosts are not gods. It is not a ghost or a god, and its god does not hurt people. If it is not a god, it does not hurt people, and a saint does not hurt people. The husband and wife do not hurt each other, so virtue is returned. ”

After reading, Zhao Chang closed the book and said with a smug smile: "Lao Tzu's words are more convincing in the world. Now the king governs the country violently, which is not in line with the way of heaven and man, if the gods send down divine punishment, it must be punishing the king.

Moreover, Zou Yan, who has been advocating the doctrine of the five virtues, often says that if the king is not virtuous, the heavens will send disaster warnings? ”

Saying that, Zhao Chang looked at Jing Shao and said meaningfully: "Doctor, now that the king is desperate under our persecution, he actually wants to borrow the power of the Black Emperor to subdue people's hearts. However, in case on the day when the king sacrificed to the Black Emperor, the heavens suddenly sent a disaster warning warning, then, whose responsibility do you say it is! ”

Jing Shao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled affirmatively: "That must be the king's immorality!" ”

"Good!"

Six places.

After reading the news from Jing Shao, the six monarchs and the three brothers immediately laughed at the two brothers in front of them: "Two virtuous brothers, not long ago, the ministers forced the king to suspend the new law.

Now I believe that as long as we insist on one or two, and wait until the king fails to sacrifice the Black Emperor and the heavens send disasters, then the king will definitely have the only choice of suspending the law change and killing Qu Yuan. ”

Sima Liuxin laughed and said, "What my brother said is very true, we have persevered for so long, and now we finally see the dawn of success." ”

At this time, Liu Jing looked at the two overjoyed brothers, and couldn't help but pour cold water on them and said: "Brother, second brother, have you ever thought about it, the king is protected by the Black Emperor, this is a well-known thing, if the sacrificial activities get a response from heaven and cause miracles, what should be done." ”

"This..." Liujun was stunned, and then, he subconsciously touched the five-color stone on his waist, and in the face of the unpredictable gods, he also had some drums in his heart.

On the other side, Liuxin saw that Liujun hesitated, and immediately agitated: "Brother, don't worry, as the doctor said, the king will definitely not be protected by heaven if he goes against the grain."

Besides, the heart of heaven is the heart of the people, and now even the core figure of the Fa-changing faction, Dr. Sanlu, has turned his back on the king, and the kings have betrayed their relatives, how can they get the protection of God! ”

When the six monarchs heard this, they fixed their minds and nodded: "Yes, the king's actions, even people will not be attached, how can there be gods to take care of them!"

Besides, we are not against the king, we just want to drive Qu Yuan away. ”

"Yes." Liu Xin immediately chimed in: "As long as we want to drive out Qu Yuan and let the country restore its original customs, even if the gods know, they will help us." ”

At this time, Liu Jing persuaded again: "Brother, now that the king invites the Black Emperor, should we forget it."

Besides, we have been conscripting the people for months, and the people have gathered here and cannot return home, and there are already complaints in the fiefdom, and the people are in trouble for a long time, and even our money and food are about to run out. ”

"Money and food, third brother, you don't have to worry about it." Liu Xin said with a smile: "Now that all the people are concentrated here, and spring plowing is approaching, as long as we let all the people go to Tuntian."

Wait until the autumn harvest, and say that we can still make a lot of money! ”

"Not bad." Liujun was overjoyed when he heard this: "The third brother doesn't have to worry about the matter of money and grain." ”

When Liu Jing heard this, he saw that Liujun and Liuxin were all overjoyed, and at the same time, he also knew in his heart that Liujun had never taken the people to heart.

So, if the people's homes also need spring ploughing, they were swallowed by him as soon as they reached their throats.

Perhaps, when the sacrifice fails, the king has to suspend the new law, and at that time, it is not too late for the people to go home and prepare for spring ploughing.
