back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 351 The Third White Chapter 17: Only This One

Bai Tongyu smiled wryly, and said, "Why did the general see that I'm full of knowledge?"

Chen Fangyun was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "I just saw Brother Bai planning a strategy. I think Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms is nothing more than that. If it is not full of knowledge, why is it so?"

Bai Tongyu sighed, and said: "The general only knows one thing, but not the other. It's not that I don't want to take the imperial examination, but I really have nothing to write..."

Chen Fangyun found it funny, and asked in puzzlement, "How can there be nothing to write about?"

Bai Tongyu waved his feather fan and said with a sigh: "Alas, I learned the art of vertical and horizontal from Guigu, which is absolutely different from Confucianism. If the world is peaceful, there is no place for me to use it; When everyone can come out..."

When Chen Fangyun heard this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.The weak scholar in front of him is actually such a dangerous person, and he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.In the past, this kind of people would definitely be hated by the imperial family, and they should be eliminated quickly.What is Ghost Valley?There are rumors in the world that this is a mysterious sect whose heirs are either unrivaled in literary talent or amazing in martial arts.Everyone in Guigumen is a genius in the world.There are rumors in the world that the disciples of this school have learned a lot, one is mathematics, the sun, stars, and latitude, in the palm of their hands, they can grasp the past and observe the future, and everything is true; The third is linguistics, remembering a lot, knowing the situation, speaking and arguing, it is impossible to speak well; the fourth is born, cultivating the truth and nourishing the character, but the disease prolongs the life, takes food and medicine, and soars from the ground... Anyway, it is like a fairy Similarly, there is only one school with such strange people in the world, and there is no other branch.

Hearing that Bai Tongyu is the descendant of Guigu, Chen Fangyun couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "Didn't you come out of the mountains in troubled times?"

Bai Tongyu smiled and said, "Isn't this a chaotic world?"

Chen Fangyun said with a dry smile: "Brother Bai is joking, the world is peaceful today, the Holy One is working hard to govern, and there is the legacy of Wenzong, so how can it be a chaotic world?"

Bai Tongyu shook his head and said: "Guangdong Ruojigu, the sage is in the heaven and the earth, and he is the first of all living beings. Watching the opening and closing of yin and yang to life things, knowing the door of existence and death, planning the end and beginning of all kinds, reaching the principles of people's hearts, seeing The god of change, and guards its door. Therefore, the sage is in the world. From ancient times to the present, his way is one. There are endless changes, and each has his own return. Either yin or yang, soft or hard, open or closed, or relaxed or Zhang."

Chen Fangyun smiled wryly and said, "Brother Bai, don't drop your book bag, the book I'm going to read is not even a page, how can I understand what you are talking about!"

Bai Tongyu also laughed. He quoted the opening chapter of the first chapter "捭阁" in the book "Guiguzi". If you really want to read it, this "Guiguzi" is a must-read.The various manifestations of resourcefulness and power revealed in this wonderful book are widely used in domestic affairs, diplomacy, war and other fields. If one only reads sage books and does not read "Guiguzi", then this person must be ineffective in officialdom .

Bai Tongyu didn't explain it either. What he wanted to say by quoting this sentence was that the so-called peaceful and prosperous times were just misunderstood by the world.The turn from prosperity to decline is a vicious circle that cannot be escaped in the past dynasties.

Bai Tongyu looked at the many people who were busy, and said meaningfully: "I came out of the mountain during the Yuanshou period..."

After hearing this, Chen Fangyun suddenly understood why Bai Tongyu was leaving the mountain.During the Yuanshou period, the Yellow River flooded frequently, and there were many victims in various places.If it weren't for the support of Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan during the Yuanshou period, I am afraid that people everywhere would have unavoidable grievances.Later, Fan Zhongyan passed away, the first emperor passed away, and Yang Taishi was in charge of the government. The atmosphere was even more chaotic, and there was a crisis hidden in the prosperity.One mistake, the situation of prosperity and decline will reappear again, just like the Huangchao uprising in the previous dynasty. Although it did not kill Datang like the official history, it also made the previous dynasty slump and let the Lu family replace it.

If it weren't for Lu Chengqi's sudden emergence, using thunderous means to clear the government, provide relief to the common people, open up trade routes, and set up Enke again, I am afraid that chaos would have sprung up in Dashun.Perhaps the country will not be subjugated, but it is certain that the people will live in dire straits.If there are people with ulterior motives like the descendants of Guigu stirring up the general trend of the world, maybe they will really make things happen.

You know, Chen Fangyun is very clear about how corrupt the imperial army and Xiang army were before.Even the water thieves in Liangshanshuipo can't be wiped out. It is better to let them not add to the chaos if they are expected to put an end to the chaos.If wars really broke out, I am afraid that the court will have to mobilize the frontier army King Qin.But in this way, how could those Khitan people miss the heaven-sent opportunity to invade Dashun?
Thinking of this, Chen Fangyun couldn't help shivering, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, the little emperor has such skills..."

Bai Tongyu didn't say anything more, and the two fell into silence.After waiting for half an hour, those minions finally loaded the gold and silver treasures collected over the years onto the boat, and Bai Tongyu put away the feather fan and said, "General, let's go!"

Chen Fangyun didn't move, but asked seriously: "Brother Bai, what are your plans for this trip?"

Bai Tong Yulang laughed, and said: "People in my generation, come in the clouds, go in the wind, just for the world, no fixed place..."

Chen Fangyun chased after him, and asked softly, "Then what about your big brother Zhu? Are you going to abandon him?"

Bai Tongyu was taken aback when he heard the words, and Chen Fangyun continued: "Brother Zhu has been appointed by His Majesty as an instructor of the Forbidden Army. If the bandits are suppressed, I am afraid that he will be a commander and eat the imperial army. Brother Zhu is more than brave, but lacks strategy. If he joins the imperial army in the future, how can he protect himself wisely? I am afraid that at that time, he will cut down a few more people and flee to the end of the world, just like before... I would have heard that Brother Bai and Brother Zhu had a deadly friendship, could it be Brother Bai just has the heart to watch Big Brother Zhu fall into a situation beyond redemption?"

But Bai Tongyu didn't seem to hear it, he never stopped in his footsteps, and said without turning his head: "There is always a feast that never ends..."

Chen Fangyun frowned, and continued: "Learn literary and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family!"

Bai Tongyu laughed loudly and said, "Are we from Penghao?"

Chen Fangyun was puzzled, and when he was about to say something more, Shan Cai behind him, shaking his fat body, chased after him, and said out of breath, "General, don't bother, if Brother Bai is so good at persuading him, the younger one would have already I have subdued him. Sigh, brother Bai has lofty aspirations, it is up to you and me to understand..."

Looking at the back of Bai Tongyu going away, Chen Fangyun knew that Shan Cai was telling the truth.To persuade Bai Tongyu to work for the court would be as difficult as reaching the sky.The descendants of Guigu take it as their own responsibility to fight against each other. If the world is not in chaos, they will not come out of the mountain.Now the world is becoming peaceful again. Under Lu Chengqi's governance, everything is thriving, and signs of another prosperous age are beginning to show.With such a general trend in the world, even if the successor of Guigu can defy the sky, it will not be able to push it.Bai Tongyu is the descendant of Guigu, how could he not know about it?It seems that once the matter here is settled, it will be the day when he retreats again.

Chen Fangyun sighed: "It's a pity that Brother Bai is so talented..."
