At The Beginning, Caishikou Beheaded, I Chose To Be Reborn

Chapter Eighty-Four: Zhuangzi Talks About The Sword

"Travel?"

Emperor Qian's expression darkened, and said.

"It is rumored that immortals have the ability to foretell. Now it seems that this is true. Knowing that I am coming, they avoid it from a distance. It seems that I, a bad guest, are really not welcomed by Mr. Ye.

Immortals are ruthless...

Emperor Qian felt this way at the moment, he didn't want to live forever this time, but he felt a little unwilling, he begged for a fairy all his life, but in the end he couldn't even see a fairy.

How ridiculous this is.

"I'm afraid the master has misunderstood. Mr. Ye's long-distance travel is a plan made earlier, and has nothing to do with the master."

Zhuang Mochen said with a smile.

"Is it really?"

"It's true.

"It's true, the old man feels better.

Emperor Qian said it was good, but it may not be good.

Ye Yuan didn't deliberately avoid him, it was just a coincidence, so it was a bit of providence.

If it were the Emperor Qian in the past, he must have been hit hard enough.

But after the "Ye Yuan gift of wine", no matter how big the blow is in this world, it is nothing.

"Take him down, find a medical center, a good first doctor."

Emperor Qian arranged for someone to carry the injured Martial Dao Great Master away, and then looked at the unlocked door of Ye Zhai, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

"Although Mr. Ye has left, the door is not locked. Why?"

"Because the child is used to entering Ye's house every morning to read to Mr. Shu, Mr. Ye remembered this, so he didn't lock the door, just for the convenience of the child and Zhuang.

"Mr. Tree?"

"It's an old locust tree in the courtyard, the master can see it when he looks up.

Emperor Qian had long noticed the surprisingly big old tree in the yard, but he didn't think much about it before, but now he looked carefully, and found that the old locust tree seemed to be staring at him too.

Although he has no eyes and no face, he somehow has a sense of staring at each other.

"Could it be that this old tree has become a demon?"

"Looks like a demon but not a demon. Mr. Ye said that this old locust tree may become a fairy root in the future."

When Zhuang Mochen mentioned this matter, he also felt emotional. At the beginning, he felt that the old tree was unknown, and he almost asked someone to cut it down. Now it has only been a few months, and the old tree has undergone a qualitative change. This is something he never imagined of.

"After Mr. Ye left, many people worried about him because the door was unlocked, but no matter what method they tried, they couldn't enter the Half step of Ye's house. The old tree guarded this small courtyard perfectly, and it was perfectly completed. Therefore, its reputation has spread, and many people in the city call it Mr. Tree, which is a strange story... Speaking of which, there is another interesting thing, the pagoda tree four or five The moon blooms, and many people are thinking that they must come here in April and May to see how amazing the flowers bloomed by Mr. Tree."

"The real 927 is incredible.

Emperor Qian muttered to himself, feeling a sense of anticipation in his heart.

If this kind of "fairy tree" blooms, it will be a wonderful sight. Although he is a ninety-five-year-old man, he has never seen such a scene.

There is even an impulse in my heart, that is to wait here, and return to Fengdu after watching the old trees bloom.

"Mr. Zhuang, can you tell Mr. Shu for the old man, the old man wants to go to Mr. Ye's yard to take a look, absolutely not moving any plants or trees, just looking at it, fulfilling his life's wish."

"You don't have to try it, sir. Mr. Ye should have explained it before he left. Mr. Shu will only let three people into it. The second is Zhuang and his son, and the third is a little white fox."

"Fairy Fox?"

"I probably don't have this kind of level yet, but I have been with children since I was a child, taught by my husband, and read books every day.

"It's a good opportunity, it's enviable."

Emperor Qian took one last look, and then arched his cupped hands towards the old locust tree, but he didn't insist anymore.

"The common people are destined, the farmer and his son are destined, and White Tiger is also destined. It seems that only the old man is not destined...Since there is no destiny, then don't force it.

Zhuang Mo Chen heard the words and was stunned on the spot.

Is this what the emperor can say?

To be so open-minded, there is a feeling of seeing through the world.

He looked at Quan Shaoze, wanting to find the answer.

Quan Shaoze smiled wryly, can he not see through the world? Mr. Ye's Calabash wine almost killed Emperor Qian.

After waking up from the coma, I saw through many things.

"Mr. Zhuang seems to be a little curious about the changes of the old man. It seems that Mr. Ye has not told you about this matter. Hehe, if you are really interested, why not come to your house and let the old man talk about it in detail?"

Qiandi smiled.

"It's not fate for me to enter Mr. Ye's yard. I don't know if the Zhuang family's mansion welcomes me as a bad guest?"

Zhuang Mochen said quickly.

"Master, you are serious. It is Zhuang's honor that you can come to my house."

Emperor Qian laughed lightly and entered the door, but he paused and said after seeing the door that had been smashed into a big hole by the guards.

"I'll find a good carpenter later and replace Mr. Zhuang with a new door.

Someone immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhuang Mochen's expression became more and more strange, he deliberately lagged behind a few steps, and leaned in front of Quan Shaoze.

"Why did the Son of Heaven become like this?"

Quan Shaoze said with a sigh.

"You have to ask Mr. Ye about it. What he said to His Majesty is really too wolfish."

Mr. Ye......

Zhuang Mo looked thoughtful.

After a while, everyone entered the dealer's living room.

Although it is not big, it is not rich, but after all (bhbg) is also a scholarly family, it is enough to accommodate these people.

Emperor Qian sat on the honored seat, took a sip of the hot tea brought by Zhuang Yan, then looked at him with a smile and said.

"This son is worthy of being taught by Mr. Ye. He looks quite smart. If he enters the court in the future, he will not lose his position as a minister."

Zhuang Mochen's heart skipped a beat, and he said hastily.

"The child is still young and has a bad temper. It is still unknown whether he will participate in the imperial examination in the future. He cannot be praised by the master."

After that, he looked at Zhuang Yan seriously.

"Hurry up and go to study."

Zhuang Yan was a little baffled, of course he didn't know who this kind-looking old man was, and he felt like he was suffering from an unwarranted disaster.

When someone compliments me, why does my father react so strongly?

Although he was puzzled, he was also sensible and obediently withdrew.

Seeing this, Emperor Qian said quietly.

"Mr. Ye treats me like a snake and scorpion, and he is afraid to avoid it. Mr. Zhuang is the same. He is obviously a great talent, but he abandons me. It seems that I am really unpopular."

Zhuang Mochen noticed that Emperor Qian claimed to have changed, and he knew in his heart that this person was now talking to him as the emperor, so Dang even lifted his spirits, got up and saluted and said.

"Mr. Ye's mind, Zhuang can't guess, as for Zhuang's intention, it is insignificant. I am not a great talent, and I have made no achievements in the court. If I leave, it will not have any influence.

"If you weren't a great talent, how could Mr. Ye value you father and son so much?"

"Your Majesty thinks too much. The acquaintance between Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Ye has nothing to do with benefits. They just met by chance. They hit it off at first sight, and then they became neighbors. After getting along for a few months, they became friends. Everything was done according to one's heart, without any deliberation.

"It's not difficult to see from your mouth that Mr. Ye seems to be a very easy person to get along with."

"It's like this. Almost everyone who has dealt with Mr. Ye thinks he is very gentle."

"But it's the only one who doesn't show any mercy to me."

Emperor Qian sighed, and suddenly looked at Zhuang Mochen with burning eyes.

"Don't you want to know why I suddenly changed my temperament? Well, let the whole adults tell what happened that day, and ask Mr. Zhuang to judge!"

Zhuang Mochen's heart shuddered, but he was not afraid.

"Appreciate further details."

Emperor Qian showed admiration and signaled Quan Shaoze to speak.

Quan Shaoze stood up with a bitter face, thinking of the words he had relayed on his behalf that day, he was still a little terrified.

What kind of mood did I have at the time, and how did I have the courage to say those words?

But he has already said it once, and it is not bad for the second time. He recalled a little, and then started to tell.

It was very detailed, just bypassing the hysterical ugly appearance of Emperor Qian when he couldn't drink the immortal wine.

But Zhuang Mochen could vaguely guess something, and his expression became more and more strange.

"Mr. Ye, he has done a great job in silence."

And at this moment, Quan Shaoze finally spoke to the end, and mentioned the sentence that made Emperor Qian vomit blood and faint on the spot.

"Heaven's evil is still forgiven, but self-inflicted evil cannot live...Your Majesty, please do it yourself!"

Rao Zhuang Mochen had been mentally prepared for a long time, but he still felt a sense of horror at this moment.

Can this be said?

Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye, a person who usually looks gentle and elegant, is actually so ruthless when he gets angry

He suddenly understood a little bit, no wonder Emperor Qian's heart changed drastically. After being the emperor for forty-one years, he begged for immortality for so long, but the immortal he begged for did such things to him and said such words , Whoever it is, I'm afraid they will all be discouraged, right?

Emperor Qian took a deep breath, and every time he thought of this sentence, he would feel a shuddering feeling. At this moment, he stared at Zhuang Mochen, wanting to get an accurate answer from Ye Yuan's friend.

"Mr. Zhuang, no matter what you say today, I will not punish you. I just want to hear the truth. You are a Jinshi in Qianguo. You used to be an official everywhere, and then you watched politics in the court. After you resigned, you became close friends with Mr. Ye. , what you said is of great significance to me... I want to know, is it true that I am self-inflicted and can't live? Is it just that I can't live forever, and I can't even have a good death?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhuang Mochen immediately understood.

It turned out that this was the real purpose of Emperor Qian's trip.

He was afraid, to the bone, so he wanted to get an accurate answer.

But this question is very difficult to answer.

After all, Zhuang Mochen grew up with Confucian orthodox education, and later he was named on the gold list and became a disciple of the Son of Heaven. Although he is loyal to the people of the world, he doesn't have much feeling for the Tian Family

But under the background of this era, if Life is asked to say something cruel and ruthless to the emperor like Ye Yuan, it would be embarrassing him.

But if you don't say anything, Emperor Qian will definitely be dissatisfied.

How about some compliments and comforting words?

Even less likely, it would violate Zhuang Chen's principles.

So he fell silent.

Emperor Qian was not in a hurry, and waited silently.

After a while, Zhuang Mochen spoke.

"Does Your Majesty know that there are three sword weapons?"

Emperor Qian was stunned, which meant that the answer was a bit out of the question, but he knew that the key point was behind, so he asked along.

"What kind of three swords?"

Zhuang Mo Chen arched his cupped hands and said.

"They are the Sword of the Son of Heaven, the Sword of the Princes and the Sword of the Common People.

He had already figured out what to say, so he started talking incessantly.

"The so-called sword of the son of heaven, the people are the front, the mountains and rivers are the neck, the spirit is the spine, the heart is the dart, the ambition is the clip, it is wrapped with wisdom, wrapped with the four seasons, wrapped around the four seas, with a thousand mountains, and five elements. With the morality of punishment, open with Yin & Yang, hold with spring and summer, and walk with autumn and winter. This sword is straight ahead, lifted up, pushed down, and transported without sides. Above the clouds, down to the Jedi. This sword Once it is used, the feudal lords will obey it, the people will admire it, and the world will obey it. This day

The sword of the child is also.

Emperor Qian did not expect that Zhuang Mochen could say such a thing.

This is not an ordinary chat, it suddenly became a policy question of the emperor and celebrities.

When he was young, he made great efforts to govern, and often consulted with talents.

But such a scene has not been experienced for at least twenty years.

Emperor Qian straightened up, put down the teacup, and asked.

"Please continue."

Zhuang Mochen didn't care about Emperor Qian's actions, but organized his thoughts and continued.

"The so-called sword of the lords uses the brave as the front, the upright as the collar, the virtuous as the spine, the loyal and saintly as the dart, and the heroic as the clip. This sword is straight and has no front, and it has no front.

Above, there is no bottom for the case, and there is no side for luck; the top method rounds the sky to follow the three lights, the bottom method squares the earth to follow the four seasons, and neutralizes the public opinion to stabilize the four towns. Once this sword is used, it is like the shock of thunder, within four seals

, there is no one who is not obedient and obeys the emperor's orders. This is also the sword of the princes. "

"The so-called common people's sword is made of gold and iron, summoned by blood, braved by fighting, meets on a narrow road, the brave wins, beheads the head at the top, and kills the liver and lungs at the bottom. It is quick for a picture, and this sword is used once.

People's hearts are terrified, and the world is awed by its majesty. But Zhuang Mou felt that this sword was inferior. Fighting in front of each other, chopping off the neck and collar, cutting off the liver and lungs, the common people's sword is no different from cockfighting

Ferocity, useless for state affairs. "

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. He holds the Sword of the Son of Heaven and does not use it himself. Instead, he wants to use the sword of the common people to frighten the world. For many years, people's hearts have been scattered, blood has flowed into rivers, legal authority has been lost, and virtuous people have gone far away...

Difficulties in state affairs are not necessarily the responsibility of His Majesty, but as the Son of Heaven, they cannot be shirked. As Mr. Ye said, Mr. Zhuang is not qualified to comment, but Mr. Zhuang feels that what His Majesty has done over the years

What you do has its shortcomings. Immortals say Karma, if you plant melons, you will get melons, and if you plant beans, you will get beans. Your Majesty, as the emperor, hides the emperor's sword and does not use it. He uses the sword of the common people to show off his power. The people's grievances are boiling. It is all evil.

If you enter the Underworld in the future, how can you face the grievances of all living beings?"

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Mochen stood silently aside, and did not speak any more.

Dead silence!

Absolute silence.

Just like when the eunuchs heard Quan Shaoze relay Ye Yuan's words back then, Quan Shaoze felt that Zhuang Mochen was simply crazy after hearing this.

Mr. Ye and Mr. Zhuang, what a couple!

No wonder they can become close friends, their tempers are so similar!

But Mr. Ye is a fairy with extraordinary abilities, so what can he say?

But you, Zhuang Mochen, have a mortal body, how dare you be so reckless?

Quan Shaoze asked for love subconsciously, but when he looked up, he saw Emperor Qian's bloodshot eyes.

At this moment, he is like a child whose self-esteem has been strongly destroyed, and he has a feeling that he is about to lose his mind.

"BET..."

Quan Shaoze spoke tremblingly.

"Shut up!"

Emperor Qian stood up, with a familiar fierce look on his face, the murderous aura accumulated from killing people for decades, burst out at this moment.

He stared at Zhuang Mochen firmly.

"Do you really think that if you have a fairy friend, I can't kill you?"

Zhuang Mochen arched his cupped hands, and said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Your Majesty said just now that Zhuang can speak freely without blame. This is His Majesty's promise, but it has nothing to do with Mr. Ye. If Your Majesty makes a slip of the tongue, it is a breach of trust."

Emperor Qian said with a sneer.

"So what if you break your promise? According to what you said, I will only use the sword of the common people, fight bravely, and neglect state affairs without thinking. If I am like this, I will kill people in a fit of rage."

Reasonable?"

Zhuang Mochen pursed his lips and smiled.

"Your Majesty has no killing intent in his chest, Caomin has seen His Majesty's appearance when he kills people, and he never talks nonsense.

Quan Shaoze's expression froze.

His Majesty didn't intend to kill?

At the next moment, Emperor Qian really laughed out loud, tears streaming down his face.

"Today's trip was not in vain. Although I missed Mr. Ye, I met a great talent."

"Mr. Ye said, I can't live for my own crimes, and Mr. Zhuang said, I will only use the sword of the lowly vehicle, and I will miss the affairs of the state, and I will incur bad consequences in the future.

"There are two proverbs in front of me. It seems that I have indeed committed a serious crime, but I am unwilling to accept my fate and want to struggle for a while. Therefore, I sincerely invite Mr. Zhuang to return to the court and help me recover.

The Sword of the Son of Heaven, to repay the sins of the past, I wonder what Mr. Zhuang wants?"

Zhuang Mochen said without much hesitation.

"The grass people thank His Majesty for your great love, but returning to court is meaningless to the grass people. There is only one wish in Zhuang's heart...

"I know, you want to control the river!"

Emperor Qian took a deep breath, madness appeared in his eyes.

"If I am willing to do my best to help you control the river, how dare you take this responsibility!"
