Chapter 103 Crisis
As the wine in the jar was gone, the guests dispersed one after another. Zhang Noi wanted to arrange another place for Cao and Uncle Tang, so they both said: "Let's skip it tonight, we will discuss it tomorrow!"
After everyone had dispersed, only Lord Xinling and a few close disciples were left in the hall. Zhang Noi asked, "Does Your Majesty know the danger today?"
Lord Xinling said: "Uncle Tang, you are a righteous man. I treat you righteously, so why is there such a danger?" Seeing that all the disciples wanted to say something else, Lord Xinling stopped him and said, "The danger is not tonight, but tomorrow."
The guests were startled, knowing that they had received some news from Uncle Tang, and quickly asked: "Where did the danger come from?"
Lord Xinling said: "I have received a secret report. The commander of Daliang is here to command the troops for me. We will return to Daliang at dawn. What do you gentlemen think we should do?"
Mr. Guo, who has always been in charge of intelligence work, said: "I have already reported to you that there were many changes along the way from here to Daliang, and there seems to be some action. If you leave the army and return to Daliang at dawn, you may end up in the trap."
One of the guests seemed confused and asked, "What's going on?"
Mr. Guo said: "The Qin army came out, but I didn't see it clearly, which is a serious crime. So I secretly sent many people to inquire around, and I found out that there were many outsiders in the four villages outside the city, not just in the small city. In the fields,
All the villagers have been drafted, but there are also outsiders coming and going in the village. If you return to Daliang immediately after you ascend, it seems to be disadvantageous."
After hearing Mr. Guo's words, everyone suddenly sighed. One guest asked: "Where did these people come from?" Another person said: "Your Majesty is just like leaving the army to go to Daliang, why would you throw yourself into a trap? You must not!" Another person said:
He said: "Why did you order your Majesty to leave the army and go to Daliang? Do you want to trap your Majesty in an unexpected situation?" Then someone said: "We still don't know, how do these outsiders know that Your Majesty wants to leave the army and go to Daliang?" As soon as these words came out, the hall was shocked.
It immediately became quiet. After a while, someone asked: "Can Mr. Guo prevent more outsiders from coming in and out?"
Mr. Guo said: "We have never met each other in the village, so we are not outsiders!"
Another person asked: "Can Mr. Guo prevent his desires from harming your Majesty?"
Mr. Guo said: "Otherwise, where would it come from?"
The person asked: "Could it be that the Qin army was a sentry, a secret agent, or a disciple of the military envoy?"
Mr. Guo said: "The scouts come and go. How can they stay in one place for a long time and make strategies?"
Someone said: "The military order has not been issued, but the net has been stretched. How could anyone have expected such an opportunity?"
Someone replied: "Except for the person who gave the order!"
Everyone was startled when they heard this. Lord Xinling shouted: "Don't make any assumptions!" Then the hall fell into silence again.
Zhang Ye suddenly said: "Mr. Zhongyue hasn't arrived yet!"
Lord Xinling said: "Mr. Zhongyue lives in a separate courtyard, and Lieutenant Daliang is uneasy, so he did not summon him."
Zhang Ye said: "Mr. Zhongyue is a think tank. He can participate in this opportunity."
Lord Xinling said: "It's late at night, so don't disturb me. Gentlemen, please rest by yourself. We will discuss with Captain Daliang tomorrow before making a decision."
Zhang Ye wanted to say something else, but Mr. Xia Hou stopped him with his eyes. Everyone bowed and resigned. Zhang Ye quietly walked to Mr. Cao, the head of the Military Affairs Department, and said, "Is there anything unusual happening around the small town?"
Mr. Cao said: "I haven't found it yet."
Zhang Noi said: "Be careful."
Mr. Cao said: "Of course it's easy."
Zhang Noi said: "There seems to be no one patrolling the backyard."
Mr. Cao said: "The back door leads directly to the city wall. There are no people in the lanes on both sides. They are all military soldiers. Therefore, there are only regular patrols and no guards. Unexpectedly, the coachman will check in tonight..."
Zhang He said: "I failed to keep my guard up. Mr. Fan set up a garrison, not only for the emperor, but also for all the soldiers."
Mr. Cao said: "That's right. I'll arrange it immediately."
Stepping out of the lobby, Zhang Nou unexpectedly found Mr. Xiahou trying to walk back through the side door, so he caught up and said, "Mr. Xiahou, why don't you rest?"
Xia Hou said: "The fodder has not been done yet, but it is disturbed by the last thing."
Zhang He said: "This is a crime. I should share the blame with you, sir."
As he was about to speak, Lord Xinling came out from the back of the hall and said: "I am guilty of being alone, and I should share the blame with you, sir."
Zhang He and Xia Hou said: "How dare you!" The three of them came to the backyard together and continued to complete the work interrupted by Uncle Cao and Tang: Zhang He cut grass, Xia Hou pounded it, and Lord Xinling held water.
Zhang He said: "Your Majesty is not surprised when things change, and I am the envy of my ministers."
Lord Xinling said: "Where does admiration come from?"
Zhang Noi said: "Uncle Tang, isn't he a thorn?"
Lord Xinling said: "Yes."
Zhang He asked, "Uncle Tang, isn't he brave?"
Lord Xinling said: "Yes."
Zhang He said: "But where you are alone, you are so brave!"
Lord Xinling said: "Uncle Tang, you are a righteous man, and you can't do anything other than righteousness. Killing an orphan is righteous, but is it wrong?"
Zhang He said: "It is righteous to work hard without caring about one's own safety when entrusted by others."
Lord Xinling said: "Benevolence is the greatest righteousness in the world. Kings and ministers, fathers and sons, couples, and friends all regard benevolence as righteousness, and attacking each other is a loss. I use benevolence, and the other uses attack to harm. Which one is righteous, and which one is not righteous? I would rather
No justice!"
Zhang He said: "Although what your Majesty said is correct, it is not the way to avoid danger."
Lord Xinling said: "Sir, as you said, gold and jade are not easy to come by. But I think about it. Along the way, there are many assassins. Avoiding or killing them is not a good strategy. The fundamental way is to turn enemies into friends. Wuji
Ask yourself, this kind of heart can be against heaven and earth, and must it be punished? Why do people who work hard and forget their lives, destroy their lives and become benevolent, and become enemies one after another? If they have inherent faults, they would rather not be taught?"
Mr. Xiahou said: "Your Majesty, you are in danger like a foreigner, and you have won Uncle Tang's heart, and you are good. What should you do next?"
Zhang He said: "The trouble today is not outside, but within Xiao Qiang."
Lord Xinling said: "Don't speak nonsense! You are loyal to your ruler and trustworthy to your ministers. Although etiquette, justice, filial piety and brotherhood are not exhausted, you secretly admire them. Although you cannot change them after hearing them, your heart is always happy. There is harmony between the top and bottom, which is the teaching of the saints.
, my vision will follow!”
Zhang He said: "Your Majesty's golden and jade teachings, I will accept them all. I am foolish and loyal, I hope your Majesty will listen to them."
Lord Xinling said: "Wuji was rude, sir, don't blame him! Sir, I just want to say that Wuji will be taught quietly."
Zhang Ye said: "Now the troops in the small city are stable and the city defenses are ready. Unless the big army comes to attack, it cannot be shaken. This can be the foundation. The rest of the army is hard to know. It is like a disaster caused by a small wall. We can only rely on a corner of the small city to wait for changes.
That’s okay!”
Lord Xinling pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think, Mr. Xiahou?"
Xia Hou said: "Standing on the small town is the first thing; returning the whole army to Daliang is the second thing; returning alone on a bicycle is a surprise, the third thing is."
Lord Xinling said: "Wu Zi is from Lu. Marquis Wen used him to gain access to the Xihe River. He started well but failed to end well. Sun Tzu was from Qi. He entered Wei without using it and left behind a powerful enemy. Wei Yangling is a native of Wei."
, he entered the Wei Dynasty as a concubine, but the Wei Dynasty could not recognize him, so he entered the Qin Dynasty and became a hegemon. With this number of sons, Gu Chang wished that he could not be with them at the same time.
, if you treat the country as an enemy, you will become an enemy of the country. I am willing to make friends with all the people in the world, but do not want to be an enemy."
After Lord Xinling finished speaking, Zhang He and Marquis Xia fell silent. They only focused on doing the work in their hands and stopped talking. After a long time, Lord Xinling said: "If I am wrong in my words, I hope you will teach me."
Xia Hou sighed and said: "I can't wait to hear what your Majesty said, so I have no words to answer."
