Chapter 59 The Shang Emperor Meets with the Confucian Leader(2/2)
"It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's not suitable for this era."
The Confucian leader picked up the teapot on the fire, poured two cups of tea, pushed one of them over, and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard that monsters eat people in the coldest night of winter?"
"I saw it once in ancient books."
Emperor Shang picked up the tea on the table and said, "However, that is just a legend. There are no monsters in the world. It is just a rumor made up by ignorant people."
"If Lao Cao says it, is there any?" the Confucian leader said calmly.
When Emperor Shang heard this, his hand holding the tea trembled, his eyes narrowed again, and he said, "Confucian leader, this matter is not a joke."
"I'm old and never joke."
The Confucian leader looked at the steaming tea in front of him and said, "As far as I know, the nights in the Far North are getting longer and longer."
"In the far north, there has always been a polar night. This is not surprising." Emperor Shang said.
"There is polar night in the far north, but it is not eternal night. Before, there was a time when the sun rose. However, this year, there has never been a sun in the far north." The Confucian leader said.
"So what, there are no humans in the far north. Even if the sun never rises, it will not have any impact." Emperor Shang said indifferently.
"If this is only the case in the far north, it wouldn't matter."
Rushou picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said, "However, this long polar night is still moving south, and the polar night has already appeared in Mobei."
"Mobei?"
When Emperor Shang heard this, he frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty should know what this means."
The Confucian leader calmly said, "When the polar night appears in Mobei and there is not enough water and grass, the people of the Eight Tribes of Mobei will have no choice but to move south. If the polar night continues to expand, the eight tribes of Mobei will continue to move south until their troops arrive in the Central Plains!
"
"I have ten Martial Kings and millions of brave and skilled soldiers, so why should I be afraid of the eight tribes in Mobei?" Emperor Shang said with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"What if the polar night appears in the Central Plains?"
The Confucian leader said slowly, "The people need to eat. Under the extreme night and cold winter, nothing can grow. Without food, the people will riot. The soldiers in your Majesty's hands also have parents, wives and children. Can your Majesty also let them use their swords and weapons?"
To their wives and children?"
After hearing the words of the old man in front of him, Emperor Shang's expression became more and more serious. After a moment, he said, "This is all the speculation of the Confucian leader. There has never been a polar night in the Central Plains."
"indeed."
The Confucian leader took another sip of tea from the cup and said calmly, "Before this, demons have never appeared in the world. Just because they have never appeared before does not mean that they will not happen in the future."
"What exactly is the demon that the Confucian leader talked about?" Emperor Shang said solemnly.
"Monsters eat people, and the polar night falls."
The Confucian leader said slowly, "Maybe the demon is the messenger of Jiye."
"I don't believe it."
Emperor Shang's eyes flashed coldly and he said.
"Soon, Your Majesty will believe it."
The Confucian leader said calmly, "The demon has appeared, and has left the boundless night in the far north and came to this bright world."
"If there really is a demon in the world."
The Shang Emperor's face was full of murderous intent, and he said, "My imperial power will also kill all the monsters!"
"If your Majesty has this confidence, there is no need to ask the old man again."
The Confucian leader put down the tea cup in his hand and said to the guests, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Please go back."
When Emperor Shang heard this, a light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't stay long. He stood up and left. When he was about to go out, he stopped and said calmly:
