Chapter 1068 Yuanshi

His Majesty Li Er was shocked!

Regarding the custom of sacrificial burial, His Majesty Li Er could not say that he approved or disliked it. This is a way to show your full strength and ability, and you can bring some of what you enjoy while alive to another world to continue to enjoy.

Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages, was the most domineering. He even wanted an army to be buried with him! In the world of the sun, he conquered the six-in-one and unified the eight wastelands and achieved an unprecedented hegemony. He also wanted to bring this ancient and modern achievement to the underground, continue to lead his invincible Qin cavalry to sweep away the people, and challenge the Shang, Tang, and Zhouwu ……

Of course this is impossible.

Burying an entire army will inevitably lead to military morale instability and the collapse of the empire...

Employing people to be buried is an extremely noble treatment and demonstrates class privileges.

But now that Fang Jun said this, His Majesty Li Er thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.

Even if the top noble dies, how many people can be used to bury him? , Mozi once said that after the death of the emperor, there were as many as a hundred people buried as martyrs, and as few as dozens of people.

Originally, according to His Majesty Li Er, only a hundred people were buried after the emperor died, so how many other nobles could be buried? It can be as many as a dozen or as few as a few. This is not a problem at all. But now that Fang Jun said this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly woke up!

How many noble families are there in this world?

If everyone is buried as a sacrifice after death, how many people will be needed?

The most important thing is that once this trend becomes popular and everyone imitates it, how many young people will be killed by fire and filled into tombs to die?

These are all subjects under his rule, Li Er!

"How do you plan to start?" His Majesty Li Er asked in a deep voice.

As long as it concerns the foundation of his rule and his great achievements, His Majesty Li Er will instantly become the cold-blooded and ruthless devil. He can lift a butcher's knife even among his own brothers, let alone some nobles who are just sitting on their bodies and eating nothing.

Fang Jun was overjoyed and said quickly: "It's very simple. Shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first, capture the king! The Yuan family is the pillar of the Guanlong Group and one of the cores of the 'Eight Pillars Kingdom'. Among the nobles in the world The influence is transcendent. As long as the Yuan family is severely suppressed and punished for violating the law of "Zhenguan Law" that no human beings can be buried, it will definitely shock the world and kill one hundred people!"

His Majesty Li Er looked at the son-in-law and beloved general in front of him with great interest!

Are you saying that he is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers?

Or is it that he doesn’t know how high the sky is and how high he is?

No matter what, looking at the Tang Dynasty, there was probably only one Fang Jun who dared to say such cruel words to the Yuan family as "kill one to serve as a warning to hundreds"!

His Majesty Li Er likes this kind of courage very much!

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. Although the Yuan family is low-key, its deep-rooted power is not trivial. You must not underestimate the enemy."

His Majesty Li Er warned.

Fang Jun was full of confidence: "Your Majesty, don't worry, are you a reckless person?"

His Majesty Li Er held his forehead and was speechless: "Aren't you reckless?"

Fang Jun grinned in embarrassment: "What... Since Wei Chen proposed that the Jingzhao Mansion set up a newspaper to control and manipulate public opinion, then naturally he would not go into battle shirtless before the critical moment. There are many people in the DPRK who are excited and looking forward to doing something. They are the pawns of the imperial censor who has embarked on a career.”

Only then did His Majesty Li Er understand Fang Jun's plan.

The imperial censors and officials in the court formed their own group, which was called "Qingliu" by the people. Most of them were the children of saints with outstanding literary talent and well-read poetry. The leader of this "clean stream" was Song Guogong Xiao Yu, and its basic strength came from the Jiangnan gentry and Shandong aristocratic families. After all, when it comes to the achievements of articles, the mighty Guanlong Group is far inferior.

The strength of Guanlong Group lies in "pragmatism"...

If public opinion can be manipulated to make the people of the world turn against the Yuan family, the imperial censor of the Qingliu Dynasty will naturally be willing to rely on Fang Jun's Jiwei to attack the Guanlong Group. If he can gain fame and suppress the Guanlong Group, why not ?

His Majesty Li Er nodded happily.

A truly mature politician does not need to go through hundreds of battles and win every battle, but must know how to judge the situation and use a knife to kill...

Good boy, he has a bright future!

*****

When Yuan Renhui returned to the house, a maid came forward to change her clothes, brought warm water to cleanse her hands and face, and handed over a clean and neat silk handkerchief that had been scented with spices. After wiping the water stains on her face and hands and throwing the silk handkerchief to the maid, Yuan Renhui sat on the ladder and picked up the newly brewed fine dragon well and took a shallow sip.

Thinking of the message sent by Dugu Cheng just now, the tea that originally had a long and sweet fragrance suddenly became tasteless.

Fang Jun, this stick, actually dared to use Yuanshi as a raft!

Do I still want to buy these expensive teas every year to help him accumulate wealth?

Just as I was about to instruct that the government would no longer allow tea from the Fang Family Tea Garden to be purchased, I then thought about which of the top nobles in the Tang Dynasty today did not drink this kind of tea and treat guests with it?

The Fang family's Longjing and Yangxian black tea are the finest teas. Other teas imitate the Fang family's technology, and the difference cannot be calculated. If the Yuan family changed to a different type of tea, it would be equivalent to downgrading its own tea. Wouldn't it be looked down upon by others?

I had no choice but to endure it, but the irritability in my heart only increased.

He raised his eyes and looked out the window. The wooden leaves were rustling, the north wind was howling, and everywhere in the house was covered with plains. It has been more than a month since the funeral of my nephew Yuan Huaiming, but the atmosphere of sadness in the mansion has not dissipated much...

Just as he was sighing, a servant came to report: "Third Master, please come and discuss important matters."

Yuan Renhui put down the tea cup, stood up, and let the maid behind him put on a large cloak for him. Then he walked out of the door and walked along the corridor in the courtyard to another courtyard.

In a house with "Deshan Hall" written on the door plaque, I pushed the door open and entered.

The name of this hall comes from the famous sentence in "Shangshu" "Zhengde enriches life and achieves perfection."

There is no charcoal basin burning in the Deshan Hall, and the earth dragon is not burning either. It is cold, lonely and gloomy.

As soon as Yuan Renhui entered the room, she shivered from the cold. She walked into the hall and saluted a skinny old man sitting alone on a futon: "My nephew pays homage to my uncle."

"Yeah."

The old man's gray eyebrows twitched slightly, but he did not raise his eyes, and just gave a faint hum.

His eyes were half-closed, his face was thin and his cheekbones were protruding. His huge aquiline nose, which was extremely disproportionate to his face, almost occupied half of his face. His thin lips were as sharp as razor blades, and he had deep nasolabial folds on his face when he didn't smile. There was also a chilly air at that time.

The skinny body is kneeling on the futon, and the plain white clothes add to the coldness...

Yuan Renhui stood for a while, feeling uncomfortable all over, and didn't know how to answer the question, so he had to say bluntly: "My nephew went to Jingzhao Mansion Yamen to find Dugu Cheng at the order of his uncle, and explained the Yuan family's intentions. But that Fang Jun seems unwilling to let it go and is determined to get to the bottom of this matter and bring justice to the Ding family."

"Justice?"

The old man suddenly raised his head, his two cold eyes were like two sharp swords piercing Yuan Renhui's eyes, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "How dare he say justice? I only had a son at the age of fifty, but I never thought of it in vain. How can it be fair to give away people with black hair? I have fought and fought bloody battles all my life, but I have to live in a corner anonymously. , how can there be justice? Now he just used two cheap maids to bury my dead son, and he wants to talk to me about justice? Those two cheap maids can follow my son to work as cattle and horses in the underground. That is what they did in their previous lives. What a blessing! A pariah, an ant-like waste, they deserve it!”

The more the old man talked, the angrier he became, and his emotions were agitated. Both of his eyes were red, as terrifying as a wild wolf that chooses people to devour!

Yuan Renhui sighed helplessly.

It’s the same thing again...

This old man's name is Yuan Xin, and he is the half-brother of the head of the family, Yuan Zheng, and the second master, Yuan Zhou.

Yuan Xuan has been extremely brave since he was a child and has the unstoppable courage of three armies. In addition, he was favored by his two brothers at a young age, so he developed a surly and violent temperament, which made him extremely difficult to get along with. After entering the Sui Dynasty, the Yuan family gradually lost its former glory and was deeply feared by two generations of Sui emperors.

During the Daye period, the governor of Cizhou moved his official duties to Lingnan, and General Qiu He was also dismissed for his crimes. Yuan's elder Yuan Zhou had an old relationship with Qiu He and traveled with him several times. When Yuan Zhou was drunk again, he said to Qiu He: "Shangguan Zheng is a strong man. Now he has moved to Lingbiao. Isn't it just right to do something big?" Then he laughed at Qiu He: "If you are a male, it will not be in vain." If it is you. , can't do anything...(End of chapter)
