Chapter 149 Reason

Wang Tianci remained silent and gently tried to help Wang Rong replace the two rows of candlesticks that were about to burn out. Wang Rong then raised his head and waved his hand, indicating that he should hold his hand first. The candlestick was blown out, "It's not too late to replace it after it's burned out."

Hearing this, Wang Tianci blew out the candle in the candlestick in his hand without saying a word, and the light in the room returned to its previous appearance. Much bleaker.

He has admired his great-grandfather Wang Rong very much since he was a child. He has heard too many stories about his great-grandfather Wang Rong since he was a child. His great-grandfather himself is a legend

There is another very famous story. When Wang Rong was playing with his children when he was a child, they found a plum tree full of fruits on the side of the road. The other children rushed over to pick plums to eat, but Wang Rong stood still and said, "The plum trees on the roadside are still full of plums, so the plums must be bitter, otherwise they would have been picked all."

This is Wang Rong, who has been different from ordinary people since he was a child.

Before he reached the age of twenty, he was introduced to Ruan Ji, the most famous grandmaster in the world at that time, from the Chenliu Ruan family. At that time, the seven people headed by Ruan Ji and Jikang were known as the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. Needless to say, Ruan Ji and the two were the most famous grand masters in the world. The rest of them were eventually four advanced grand masters. Only one finally stayed at the second-grade purple-robed monk. Wang Rong was introduced by Ruan Ji when he was less than twenty years old, and the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest became a legend, which is still fascinated by countless monks to this day.

The only thing Wang Tianci didn't understand was his great-grandfather's habit of becoming stingy as he got older.

Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the nobles of Shangluo have been competing for wealth. The most famous ones are Shi Chong, the son of the founding father Sima Shibao, and Wang Xun, the uncle of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty. There was a very famous thing about Wang Rong when he was young, that is, after his father died, his father's old subordinates came to mourn him. Seeing that Wang Rong was young, they gave Wang Rong a lot of money. But Wang Rong changed hands and gave away all this huge amount of money to others, leaving not a penny for himself. This is something Wang Tianci has always wanted to imitate. In his view, money is something external to the body, and even spiritual grains and other things are external things. To cultivate oneself, one must first cultivate oneself, and one must cultivate oneself to the point where one neither takes pleasure in things nor feels sorrow for oneself. In his opinion, his great-great-grandfather had already cultivated himself to the point where he could neither be happy with things nor sad with himself when he was not yet twenty years old. Why did he become more and more confused as he got older? He used to work in Jin Yang Shi asked Wang Rong, who occasionally returned to his hometown, several times, but Wang Rong always laughed.No answer. What's more, the Wang family has to take care of this matter. Shouldn't the three dignitaries of the imperial court be thinking about how to assist the emperor in governing the world every day?

"Grandpa, you have to go to the palace to discuss matters when you are in heaven, so don't think it's too late today." Wang Tianci took the lead He put the candlestick aside gently and spoke.

"Godsend, do you know what Grandpa Xingri is discussing when he comes to the palace?" Wang Rong stopped what he was doing and asked warmly.

"Tianci doesn't dare to ask." Wang Tianci replied respectfully, "Our Wang family's ancestral motto is not to seek political power if one is not in his position. No one unrelated to the family is allowed to ask about court affairs."

Seeing Wang Tianci's response, Wang Rong nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, it is indeed a gift from heaven. This ancestral precept must be adhered to in the future. It's just that things have authority, and rules must be observed and modified. You need to continue to understand when to be cautious and when to be flexible."

"God has written it down"

"Xingtian's affairs are very simple to say, it is what King Yuzhang wants to do. "Tianci, my great-grandfather is testing you. How many things can you think of with just this little information?" Wang Tianci knew that this was when his great-grandfather was giving guidance and assessment, and he didn't dare. There is no slightest neglect. He is an extremely smart and logical genius. After thinking for a moment, he immediately organizes ideas in his mind.

"In recent years, because Empress Jia wanted to depose the crown prince, King Yuzhang was quite popular among some people in Shangluo. Those who did good things were called the Twenty-Four Friends of Shangluo. They cheered and supported him, and the momentum was not small." Wang Tianci said cautiously, "But the regulations of Shihan stipulate that if you want to become a prince, you must become a fifth-grade monk before the age of twenty-seven. Although the prince failed to become a fifth-grade monk, the prince had already become a third-grade monk. He is a monk, so it does not violate the rules of Shihan. Although King Yuzhang has been very popular in recent years, his cultivation has not improved. According to Yi Chongsun, Queen Jia may have something to rely on. There has been no movement for so many years, and suddenly there must be some changes in the assessment at this time."

"The prince is in danger," Wang Rong said in surprise, "The person guarding Jinyong Palace is none other than Huainan Prince Huangfu Yun. A few days ago, a minister from Huangmen suggested that the position of prince in the imperial court should not be suspended for a long time. Someone suggested that according to the story of Emperor Jing and Emperor Wen, the king of Huainan should take over as the crown prince. How could Empress Jia make herself work so hard after planning for so many years. The fruits of hard sowing fall into the hands of others. King Huainan will definitely attend the Xingri Conference. Although the rumors in Shangluo these days are untrue, they must be controlled by someone behind the scenes, and their purpose is to put pressure on Empress Jia. Empress Jia knew that if the prince did not die, he would always be in serious trouble. With his character and style of doing things, he was afraid that he would send someone to harm the prince when the King of Huainan was not in Jinyong Palace during the Xingri Conference. The guarding King of Huainan could not escape the blame, killing two birds with one stone, which Empress Jia had used many times before." Wang Tianci was shocked when he heard this, and could no longer maintain his usual calm attitude. With a graceful look on his face, he exclaimed, "This is very bad. How can this be such a good thing?"Grandpa, how did you deal with it?"

"How did you deal with it?" Wang Rong smiled bitterly, "Tianci, who do you think this world belongs to?"

Wang Tianci was stunned when he heard this and paused. After a while, he replied seriously, "The world belongs to the people of the world. Emperor Wen of Zhou personally said this to the monks all over the world when he was receiving Zen. Emperor Wu also said the same words when he accepted Zhou Chan from Jin Dynasty. "

"But does Empress Jia think so?" Wang Rong's old face was full of helplessness at this moment, "Don't talk about Empress Jia, it is Emperor Wu. In his later years, all policies are no longer to harmonize the world. Monks share the world, but they try their best to rule the world. Therefore, he vigorously promoted monks from poor families, so he founded Hongdu Academy, so he re-employed Jia Chong, Feng Chen and others. All of them, he wanted to increase the imperial power instead of sharing the world. "

"But Grandpa, aren't you Situ? You can definitely stop this. "Wang Tianci said hurriedly.

"I can stop one thing, I can also stop two things. I can control it for a year, and I can control it for a lifetime." Wang Rong explained patiently, "Godsend, let me ask you, the world Are there more monks from poor families or monks from aristocratic families?"

"Of course there are more monks from poor families. "Wang Tianci said without hesitation.

"That's it. Emperor Wu saw this and thought he could win over more poor families to restrict our family. A very simple arithmetic shows that the number of monks from humble families is dozens or even hundreds of times that of our aristocratic family. "

Wang Rong's words were like a thunder, instantly clearing all the fog in Wang Tianci's heart in the past. At this moment, he admired his great-grandfather even more. He really stood up and saw far. Directly grasp the essence of the problem.

"It doesn't matter whether the prince sincerely adheres to the oath made by the imperial family and the monks in the world when he received Zen in the Jin Dynasty. Emperor Wu also adhered to this concept when he was young. However, people can change. Even if the prince is saved, with the prince's ability and talent, what if he one day becomes the Emperor Wu in his later years? The prince really has 70% to 80% of the style of Emperor Xuan, both in terms of cultivation and ability. At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Sun Yu and Sun Lingjun, who assisted Emperor Sima Cao of the Zhou Dynasty to defeat the northern princes and finally laid the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, were so talented. He said something that I later came to understand. That is, the person who sits on the throne of emperor is as good as Emperor Shang Xian, even better than Emperor Shang Wu. In this world, we should still share the world. In this world, prosperity and decline cannot be tied to one person. Tianci, have you done nothing?"

Wang Tianci was dumbfounded by these words. He had never thought about such a complicated problem, even though he felt that he had done everything in the world in vain. , only today did he realize that he was afraid that he could not even see it in vain.

"But Grandpa, why did you insist on protecting the prince in the first place?"

"First, at least the current prince adheres to the concept that the Huangfu family and the monks in the world share the world. Who can say clearly what will happen next. "Wang Rong said and stretched out a finger, "Secondly, the imperial court has its own majesty, and the three princes and nine ministers have their own three princes.The majesty of Jiuqing. How can the emperor say what he says? How can the royal family mean what they say? We are descended from the same family as the Huangfu family. We are not slaves of their Huangfu family. This principle is more important than whether the prince can survive and whether the prince will become a different person in the future. God-given, please remember your great grandfather’s words. We monks and our family must always stick to this bottom line. Regardless of whether it is the Sima family, the Huangfu family, or whichever family sits in that position in the future, we must resolutely oppose the monopoly of power. You must know that since the beginning of the Pre-Shang Dynasty, countless knowledgeable monks have been pursuing this point. It was not until the end of the Post-Shang Dynasty that they were able to realize the abdication of the monarch as in ancient times. This is a huge breakthrough that has been achieved by many seniors and many years of hard work. No matter what, you must not forget this. "When Wang Rong said these words, his eyes that had always been cloudy suddenly shone with light, and his whole body exuded the rare aura of a great master, like the king of the jungle who was not angry and powerful.

Wang Tianci felt a chill in his heart. , Su Rong responded, "My great-grandson has been given by God to remember my great-grandfather's teachings and to protect the family and share the world with the emperor for the rest of his life." He finally understood in his heart that in the eyes of his great-grandfather, no matter whether the prince lives or dies, Whether it is the crown prince or the king of Yuzhang, these are not important things. The important thing is that this world cannot be a world of one family.

Wang Rong looked at his serious and respectful attitude. There was a look of satisfaction on his face, "Outsiders say that our Wang family in Jinyang is as talented as a forest of talented people, but I know in my heart that the only one I can rely on in the future is you, God-given. Seeing that he was about to be humble, he waved his hand, changed the subject, and said, "Goddess, do you know why my great-grandfather has often played with these calculations over the years?"

"My great-grandson is puzzled." ”

“My great grandfather asked you, how much spiritual grain can be harvested in one season from one acre of good spiritual land, how much spiritual grain can be harvested from one acre of ordinary spiritual land in one season, and how much spiritual grain can be harvested in one season from one acre of poor spiritual land”

Wang Tianci was shocked when he heard this, smiled bitterly, and shook his head.

“How much spiritual grain does it take for a monk to reach the ninth level, to reach the eighth level, and to reach the seventh level, etc. wait. How many spiritual fields are there in the Bingzhou of our Great Jin Dynasty? How many monks are there in Jizhou? How many spiritual fields are there in Jizhou? How many monks are there in other states and counties? During the pre-Shang Dynasty, how many monks were there in the world? After the Shang Dynasty, how many monks were there in the Great Zhou Dynasty? How many monks came to our Great Jin Dynasty? How many monks are there on the register? And is the output of spiritual grains in the Jin Dynasty each year increased or decreased compared with the pre-Shang and post-Shang periods? How much is the increase compared with the increase in the number of monks?"

Wang Tianci heard These questions made his heart even more painful. After all, he was only in his early twenties. In addition to practicing, he also had to read the books of the predecessors and sages. He was never a complacent and arrogant person, and he was always eager to learn. . In the eyes of others, he is a genius, but he admits that he is just more diligent in thinking and studying.

"Countless monks only care about their own cultivation, only care about their own wealth, and only pursue how to obtain more resources. But few monks care about the resources of this worldHow many there are, how many monks can be maintained to practice. In the early pre-Shang Dynasty, the highest number of monks in the world was in the early days of Emperor Wu of the Shang Dynasty, when there were more than 3.78 million monks. Emperor Shang Wu launched successive wars against the northern and southern barbarians, with more than twenty major battles and countless small battles. Although they conquered countless tribes from south to north and east to west, the number of monks in the world also dropped from more than three million in Zhoufeng to just over two million. It was not until the era of the Later Shangxing Zhang that the number of monks in the world climbed to a peak again, reaching 4.13 million. During the reign of Emperor Shang Zhang, his relative Dou Xian relied on this extremely powerful national power to completely conquer the Northern Barbarians, bringing the influence of the Later Shang Dynasty to its peak. However, the world's prosperity will inevitably decline. After the Hou Shang Dynasty defeated Emperor An, they began to fight endlessly. When the second emperor Huan Ling came, he imprisoned monks on a large scale twice.
