The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 87

As the saying goes: The general trend of the world, the long-term division must be united, and the long-term unity must be divided.

Since 800 years ago, every time-sharing, there will always be nursery rhymes and prophecies.The reason is that 800 years ago, the first peasant uprising took place in history.

At that time, the leaders of the peasant uprising, Chen Guang and Wu Si, in order to increase the admiration of their subordinates, they used the tricks of calling foxes and fish belly silk to tell their subordinates that he was a man of destiny, sent by heaven to overthrow violent businessmen, Those who establish a new dynasty.

Although, the uprising was suppressed in just two months.However, the schemes of Chen Guang and Wu Si have been praised by the rebels of all ages.

Almost every rebel created a few weird incidents around them in advance, and then howled a few times and said a few words pretending to be mysterious to express that they were the sons of heaven.Or simply declare that this is an omen.

Emperor Yan was very clear about the Taoism in it, because he used this strategy when he was one of the many rebels before the establishment of the Yan Kingdom for more than 20 years.Although there are some changes, it is just a change of soup but not medicine.

Changsun Lianyi and Xiahou Yuhun are both extremely intelligent people. This nursery rhyme is now being sung by almost all the children in the capital, so they have naturally heard of it.

It's just that it was just an ordinary nursery rhyme at the time, and they didn't think much about it. Now that Emperor Yan mentioned it, they naturally thought about what this nursery rhyme represented.

When the grandson Lianyi was singing this nursery rhyme, Tai Zhuling felt his heart skip a beat.He remembered how long Sun Ji had told him about this nursery rhyme.

It's just that he felt that Changsun Ji was a little forced to explain when he explained.And nothing happened in the past few days, so he relaxed his vigilance and didn't pay too much attention.Unexpectedly, Emperor Yan would actually ask this question now.

However, he didn't say anything, just bowed his head and remained silent, as if in deep thought.Changsun Lianyi didn't know what Xiahou Yuhun was thinking.However, he now knew that Emperor Yan was determined to get rid of King Chu.

Seeing that the two people in the audience were silent, Emperor Yan said again: "Tai Zhuling, tell me what you said to me before. Let the left and right ministers listen."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then he cupped his hands to the eldest grandson Lianyi and asked: "You two adults, do you still remember the opinion of the third son that I expressed in the court some time ago?"

For this matter, Changsun Lianyi and the two naturally remembered it, because both of them were on the suspicion list because of this theory of three sons, one was the second and the other was the third.

Tai Zhuling saw that the elder Sun Lianyi and the two nodded, and then continued: "The third son among the three sons and two horses that His Majesty dreamed about earlier is part of this person's information, and this nursery rhyme contains another information. "

"My Dayan has determined the five virtues since the founding of the country, and my country of Yan is the virtue of fire. According to the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, water extinguishes fire, and the country that replaces my Dayan herdsmen in the world is the virtue of water."

"In the ballad, "Golden wheel sleeps, the bee will decline". The bee alludes to the surname Feng of my royal family in Dayan. And in the next sentence, "the sun rises and the East China Sea turns upside down", that is, the sea water appears from the sun. It is in response to the law of fire extinguishing with water in the five elements."

"As for the first sentence, the "Huangshuixing" written in the first half should refer to this heavy rain, and the grasshoppers in this "Grasshopper Xing" should refer to the scourge and evildoer who stole my country of Yan."

"Then I don't know what is the hidden message in the nursery rhyme that Tai Zhuling said?" Xiahou Yuhun didn't know if he really didn't understand, or he was pretending to be confused.

"The ballad hints that this person is a grasshopper. I think there must be a fierce word in the name or nickname."

"Looking at Tai Zhuling's appearance, there should be a candidate in my heart. Why don't you tell me and let me listen to solve the confusion." Changsun Lianyi took a step forward and asked Tai Zhuling.

Tai Zhuling glanced at Changsun Lianyi and the two, and then knelt down to Emperor Yan and said, "Your Majesty, I suspect that the final spearhead of all these events in this song, in the dream, and in the rain warning from the sky is directed at one person, the King of Chu. .”

After finishing speaking, Tai Shiling put his head on the ground.

Although Tai Zhuling was in charge of offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, he was only a minor official in Yan State, with a salary of only six hundred, while the king of Chu already had a salary of two thousand stones in terms of title and position.As his position is not mainly based on admonishment, he can't just report to an official, especially one with a higher title than himself.

Because if it is an official under the imperial censor whose duty is to monitor hundreds of officials, if he reports a certain official, although he offends others, it is not the kind that offends the dead.Because it is understandable to brush business at the end of the month and the end of the year.

But if an official who does not take this as his job wants to report, it will be a complete offense. If you fail to shoot him to the ground at once, you can wait for revenge.

However, if you are clean, you have nothing to fear.Within a system, it is necessary to abide by the rules of the system.Just like when Wei An reported the doctor censor some time ago, Wei An himself was clean, even the doctor censor who supervised all the officials had nothing to do with him for a while.

However, there are a few officials like Wei An who really do their best.Therefore, it can be said that this time Tai Zhuling is gambling his own future and his own life on this fortune.

If King Chu could not be beaten to death on the ground this time, his family would have to go to Huangquan Road to reunite.

"Bastard, the King of Chu is the backbone of my Great Yan, and even my sworn brother. He fought south and north and made great military exploits for Yan. How could he betray me? Stop talking nonsense, otherwise, I will I'll push you out and chop you up." Hearing Tai Zhu Ling finished speaking, Emperor Yan scolded.

Tai Shiling put his hands on the ground, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, what I said is true. Even if you give me a hundred thousand courage, I will not dare to frame the king of Chu. I am not talking nonsense. , but the series of things that happened all point to the king of Chu."

"Then tell me, everything points to the King of Chu."

"Your Majesty, in your own dream, you dreamed that the three sons ate two horses. And the king of Chu was named Chan. This character is composed of three sons and corpses, and it has the word "water" next to it, indicating that the king of Chu is the life of water. The nursery rhyme also mentioned Grasshoppers, doesn’t the combination of the two just mean that it is Meng Chan, King of Chu, who gave the early warning?”

"Your Majesty, the virtue of fire must be the virtue of water, and the one who destroys swallows must be Meng Chana. Your Majesty, the minister's loyalty to Dayan can be seen. I am willing to pledge the lives of the whole family, young and old, as a guarantee. Everything I said is true." His head was clasped to the ground, his voice was full of choking, and the appearance of prostrating on the ground made people feel that he was loyal to serve the country.
