Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 36
"A person who understands ghosts is not a celestial being among humans, but God's will. He is impartial and selfless. If you follow his will, you will be rewarded; if you disobey his roots, you will be punished." Mo Qiu said immediately.

"Then did I obey the ghost and god you mentioned, or did I disobey him?" Emperor Zongming asked again.

If you can't answer this question well, you don't need to say it later.

"The emperor obeyed him." Mo Qiu said without the slightest hesitation.

"Really? But why didn't I feel the reward? Could it be that you just picked some nice words to deceive me?" Emperor Zong Ming glanced at Mo Qiu casually.

"The emperor's words are wrong."

Mo Qiu shook his head slightly, and immediately said: "Since the emperor came to the throne, he worked hard for ten years, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the people's life was rich. The grain in the warehouse was too much to pile up, and no one picked up the goods lost on the side of the road. There were almost no bandits in various places. Isn't this the best reward?"

"Heh, you can talk." Emperor Zong Ming naturally wouldn't refute his own achievements, and he also heard Mo Qiu's implication, and asked bluntly, "What about ten years later?"

Eunuch Fang behind Emperor Zongming immediately warned him not to talk nonsense with his eyes.

"Ten years later, the emperor is keen on seeking immortals and asking questions. There is no merit or fault, so naturally there will be no reward or punishment." Mo Qiu didn't seem to see the color of Eunuch Fang's desperate fight, so he said it out.

"Bold!"

Eunuch Fang was furious, and he shouted loudly first.

The two father-in-laws beside Mo Qiu had already stretched out their hands to take him down.

"Eh!"

Emperor Zongming stopped the three of them with a wave of his hand, "What are you all so nervous about? Do I look like a fool who can't listen to bad words? Let him go."

"Ten years later, I will no longer do everything myself, and I will rarely add more national policies, recuperate with the people, and rule by doing nothing. In your mouth, it will be nothing. That is to say, in your opinion, I Is it not enough?" Emperor Zong Ming asked calmly.

"I've heard that those who seek to grow old trees must solidify their roots; those who wish to have a long spring flow must dredge their source rivers. Those that are not solid at first must be left behind; those that are strong but not cultivated will be lazy later on; those that are originally turbid will not flow clearly. , those who do not believe in their fame will lose their reputation. Fame is not born in vain, but reputation does not grow by itself.

The achievements of the emperor are hard-won, and governing a big country is like cooking a small fish.There is nothing wrong with Xu Xutu's recuperation, but the towering trees still need to be pruned, and the ponds are full of silt.The emperor is in charge of the world's policy, I only have a rough knowledge of martial arts, how can I evaluate the emperor's achievements? " Mo Qiu replied.

Tell ghosts and gods, speak your mind.

Of course, this answer was not perfect, and Eunuch Fang squeezed his palms secretly.

Emperor Zong Ming also put down the palm that was dragging his cheek, and fixed his gaze on Mo Qiu with unparalleled dignity.

"well said!"

Suddenly, Emperor Zong Ming clapped his hands, "Very insightful."

However, this conversation is almost over.

Emperor Zong Ming summoned him not to ask him about the strategy of governing the country, but at most he was just curious.

As for the ghosts that Mo Qiu talked about, including the so-called rewards and punishments of ghosts, they couldn't impress him.

It is good for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and live a prosperous life, but what can he, the emperor, gain?

A cold wind frightened the officials, and they wrote various letters to request the establishment of the crown prince.

He has no interest in these things.

Mo Qiu himself is a boring person. Although he knows a lot about all kinds of gods, gods and ghosts, he is critical in his bones, which doesn't make Emperor Zong Ming interested in further chatting.

After a brief conversation again, Emperor Zong Ming waved his hand and fell silent.

The two father-in-laws immediately took Mo Qiu out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After stepping out of the gate of the palace, Mo Qiu seemed somewhat helpless.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to tell the morality in your heart in front of the emperor.

However, no matter how good the opportunity is, what's the use of not wanting to listen?
Outside the gate of the palace, Gong Shang Guo, who was waiting here, greeted him.

"how?"

Gong Shang Guo seemed to have expected that Mo Qiu would come out of the palace early, and there was not much surprise on his face.

"The emperor is in good health."

Mo Qiu didn't answer the question.

"Ha" Gongshang laughed out loud.

"Continue to promote the righteousness of the Mohist school. If there are more people who uphold the righteousness of the Mohist school, there will always be some influence." Mo Qiu did not appear depressed, he never felt that seeing Emperor Zongming could change anything.

Do what you want to do, that's all.

In the 27th year of Zongming, the Mohism emerged.

Most of the people who join the Mohist school are rangers with martial arts skills, respect the eight righteousness of the Mohist school, and be kind to others.

Frequently eliminating violence and keeping the good, but also providing a moderate amount of help for the security of the imperial capital.

From the very beginning when students came to the Mohist martial arts school in an endless stream, until it was found out that Mo Qiu had left the martial arts hall, it gradually returned to its previous appearance, and everything was moving forward steadily and non-stop.

This year, Gu Dan also began to go out to diagnose and treat injuries. Before that, he didn't go to see a doctor, but only sat in the doctor.

Time slowly came to Zongming's 30th year.

Two pieces of shocking news spread to the imperial capital, almost setting the imperial capital on fire in an instant.

This year, there was a severe drought in Yuzhou, and an earthquake in Yuzhou!
Natural disasters happened in two places one after another, causing shock in the ruling and opposition parties.

Mo Qiu immediately took his disciples to the disaster area, and many wealthy businessmen from all over the country rushed to help.

But compared to the spontaneous power of the people, it is just a drop in the bucket for the whole disaster situation.

The court had to stop the construction of Longevity Immortal Palace at the first moment. The catastrophe in the two prefectures caused thousands of miles of displaced people and people's livelihood was difficult. They had to launch disaster relief measures with all their strength, and all other matters had to be compromised.

But the disaster situation in the two places has not really subsided, and another urgent letter of [-] miles was sent to the imperial capital.

Taking advantage of the Yuzhou Dilong turning around, the Nanman sent troops to plunder the people, and the road was full of bones, ten rooms and nine empty spaces!

When the news was sent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Zong Ming was furious.

When he just succeeded to the throne, the Nanban invaded once, and it took him more than two years to smooth it out.

Now that 30 years have passed, can Nanman treat him as a bully? !

The so-called Nanman is not a real barbarian, but a scornful name for it by the Great Moon Dynasty, and its country name is Daqing.

Both the dress and the etiquette are different between the two countries, and conflicts are inevitable.

Many lands, including Yuzhou, were fought from the hands of Nanman, and they can be said to be feuds with Dayue.

Taking advantage of the catastrophe in the two prefectures of the Great Moon Dynasty, it was perfectly normal for Daqing to raise his troops to attack.

"Your Majesty, it's really not easy to use swords again in the catastrophe in the two states now!" In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, several ministers knelt on the ground, trying to dissuade them in every possible way.

"Can't afford weapons? Then let Daqing's people plunder wantonly in my dynasty, splitting the soil and dividing the border?!" Emperor Zongming was furious, "I will send millions of soldiers to conquer Daqing!"
