Chapter 186: The Protector of the Nation
Fu Qingfeng sat in the driver's seat of the carriage, watching the three old men quarreling.
But she didn't favor anyone, nor did she get involved.
Zhuge Liang's words actually touched her heart.
She has been in Guobei County recently. She has witnessed the prosperity of Guobei County, which is like a paradise on earth.
So actually in her heart she is more inclined towards Zhuge Liang.
After all, Zhuge Liang governed Guobei County in an orderly manner. If he could govern the world as well as Guobei County in the future, how glorious would the world be?
His father was once the prefect of Qingzhou. What was the situation like under his rule?
Most of the people did not starve to death, and this was the best he could do.
However, it was just such political achievements that he was praised by the court and loved by the people.
In the past, she also thought that her father was very capable and that the extent to which he could govern Qingzhou was already his limit.
But it was not until she learned about the current situation of Guobei County and saw its prosperity.
Of course, although he doubted his father's ability to govern, he still had to be saved.
Along the way, there was noise in the carriage, and neither Zhuge Wulong nor Fu Tianchou could convince the other.
Rosen said nonchalantly, "Girl, do you have any water?"
"Oh... yes, I'm so sorry, old man. In order to save my father, we had no choice but to do this."
"No problem. I'm usually busy with government affairs, so I'll take this opportunity to go on an outing."
Fu Qingfeng was speechless for a while. He had never seen such a calm hostage.
"Sir, you are a learned man, so I naturally don't dare to harm you. As long as we leave Guobei County, I will definitely let you two return safely."
At this time, Zhuge Wulong asked: "My lord, please tell him why Daji cannot implement our policy plan now."
In fact, Zhuge Liang couldn't say it himself, so he had to let Rosen say it.
"First, the aristocratic families monopolize knowledge, and they cannot allow all civilians to receive education. Secondly, we must vigorously develop industry and commerce, which requires liberating farmers from the fields. With the current agricultural level, once a large number of farmers leave the land, it means that there will not be enough food, so productivity must be improved at this time. This is also the reason why technology is the primary productive force. In today's Ji Dynasty, any technological innovation will definitely be plundered by the aristocratic families, and then they will treasure it instead of using it to benefit the people. Therefore, the Xin Dynasty must overthrow the aristocratic families, overthrow the Confucian system, and re-establish a new order."
"Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, this is the principle of heaven and earth, and now you want to turn the world upside down, you are committing treason."
"Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans are the class divisions made by you Confucians, so you put yourselves first. But if farmers hold the right to speak, they will put themselves first. If craftsmen or merchants hold the right to speak, they will do the same. This has never been the truth of heaven and earth. This is just your right to speak."
"It's fine for farmers or craftsmen, but merchants don't produce anything, and they are all cunning and treacherous. How can we allow them to grow and prosper?"
"It's okay to cheat others, but don't cheat yourself. There are good and bad people in every walk of life. If we talk about good and bad, you Confucians have more scum. Just look at the officials in the court. Are there more good officials or more treacherous officials? The people who really don't work are you Confucian scholars. If they are from aristocratic families, it's okay, but among you Confucian scholars, there are still many ordinary people. A family of more than a dozen people works hard just to support a scholar. If Confucianism continues to flourish, it will only continue to harm the people. Therefore, you Confucians are the source of chaos. When I gain control of the world in the future, I will definitely depose Confucianism. In the future, Confucianism will only be a discipline and will not be treated any preferentially."
"You...you...you are extremely rebellious."
The sky gradually darkened, and the three people in the carriage were still arguing fiercely.
bang——
Suddenly, the carriage jolted and everyone inside was shaken.
Then the horses pulling the carriage suddenly sank into the ground with their limbs, and the carriage overturned.
A leaf of autumn emerged from the ground.
"Where did this thief come from!"
Fu Yuechi drew his sword and slashed at Zhiqiu Yiye.
A rune appeared on Zhiqiu Yiye's palm and pointed it at Fu Yuechi: "Fix!"
Fu Yuechi fell from mid-air. Seeing this, Zhiqiu Yiye hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Fu Yuechi in his arms.
Fu Yuechi looked at Zhiqiu Yiye in shock and anger, but his body was unable to move.
"Thief, let my second sister go!" Fu Qingfeng also drew his sword to rescue her at this time.
Suddenly, Zuo Qiu Sheng descended from the sky and slashed with his sword, splitting Fu Qingfeng's sword in half.
"Fu Qingfeng, your father is a serious criminal of the imperial court and should have been exiled to Lingnan. As a child of the Fu family, you broke the law knowingly and kidnapped a serious criminal of the imperial court." Zuo Qiu Sheng shouted angrily.
Fu Qingfeng was totally confused and could not withstand Zuo Qiu Sheng's attack.
Of course, Zuo Qiu Sheng’s martial arts skills are far superior to Fu Qingfeng’s.
Just when Zuo Qiu Sheng was about to kill him, Xiahou Jie drew his sword and blocked Zuo Qiu Sheng's attack.
People from the Security Department and the City God Department also rushed to the scene.
"Zuo Qiusheng, here only my teacher has the right to decide a person's life or death."
Zuo Qiu Sheng thought about it and decided to put away his weapon.
Rosen and Zhuge Wolong had just crawled out of the overturned carriage, and then dragged out Fu Tianchou.
"Teacher, what should they do?" Xiahou Jie asked.
"What do you mean by what to do? We are out for an outing to meet old friends." Rosen waved his hand.
At this moment, the moonlight was suddenly shrouded in a shadow.
Then a burst of Sanskrit sound was heard.
When they looked over, they saw a group of lamas coming towards them with drums and gongs.
The team included both men and women, and in the middle of the team was a sedan chair carrying a throne from the Western Region Lamaism.
"Master Protector of the Nation!" Zuo Qiu Sheng and other soldiers who came from the capital immediately came to the throne carrying the sedan chair and said, "Captain Zuo pays homage to Master Protector of the Nation."
Xiahou Jie and Yan Chixia looked at each other, then looked at Rosen.
Rosen smiled and nodded slightly.
At this time, Fu Tianchou also stepped forward and saluted: "I, the offending official, the Minister of Rites, Fu Tianchou, pay my respects to the Protector of the Nation."
The curtain of the throne was drawn open, and an old monk in a golden robe with a kind face walked out from the throne.
"Amitabha, you are too murderous, put down your butcher knives quickly and become a Buddha right now."
"Mr. Fu has been wrongfully imprisoned. I have heard that Master is compassionate. Please help Mr. Fu clear his name."
"Life in this world is a catastrophe. We must know that the sea of suffering is boundless and it is never too late to turn back..."
Immediately, the Dharma Master who protects the country began to recite scriptures, and the sound of Sanskrit sounded again.
At this moment, everyone seemed to let go of their obsessions.
"Cough cough..."
Suddenly, a cough interrupted the chanting.
The Protector of the Nation suddenly looked towards the source of the voice. Rosen smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, my throat hurts recently."
"Who are you? Why do you carry the dragon energy of the dynasty?" The Protector of the Nation looked at Rosen with burning eyes.
