Chapter 484

The saint said to wake up the dreamer. Ye Xingyuan knew that he did not rely on questions to get the answer, so he had an enlightenment in his heart. Therefore, he was convinced and thanked the saint.

Gao Huajun nodded beside him, as if he had some insight. He was one of the most sage disciples under the saints, and he also had some insights after they answered.

After understanding the meaning of this trip, Ye Xingyuan no longer persisted. When he came to Luoyi, he had his own mission, so he saluted the saint again and said sincerely: "The student is here to ask the saint for knowledge of the great way. But more importantly, he is to ask the saint for help. Yue State raised troops for no reason and attacked the Wu State, and now the troops are at the city.

The Wu Kingdom was unable to resist, and it was almost impossible to destroy the country. I only wanted the emperor and the saint to mediate, repel Yue Kingdom, protect our Wu Kingdom for five hundred years, and pacify the order of the princes and resolve the current chaos."

The State of Wu was a prince who was granted the title of the Zhou Dynasty when the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. Wu Bo was originally the younger brother of King Wu. The State of Wu had a long history and had the endorsement of the court. Now, in times of troubled times, the countries are constantly in wars, and they have long forgotten the authority of the emperor. In fact, if the court had the strength, it could force the vassal states to cease war, especially if the army was not named Wuming, they would be punished.

If the Yue Kingdom is obsessed with it and does not regret it, the emperor can even denounce it as a "rebel traitor and enemy" and call on the world to attack it. If the court has enough military strength, it can also raise troops to quell the rebellion.

However, these things only happened in the early days of the Zhou Dynasty. Since King Ping moved his capital to Luoyi east, the Zhou royal family has declined day by day. The powerful princes were unwilling to pay attention to this nominal co-lord of the world. Although many people also proposed "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians", they were not implemented in the end.

It has been at least three hundred years since no one cried to the Emperor Zhou, asking for such an opportunity to mediate and punish chaos.

The saint smiled, with a look of satisfaction on his face, nodded and said, "Wu Yue fights for hegemony, but the people are still suffering. The emperor knows this. I will take you into the palace tomorrow and meet the emperor. According to the actual report, the emperor will naturally dispatch a large army to make the decision for the Wu Kingdom."

Nowadays, the saints say the same thing in the court. When the emperor is young, he calls him Zhongfu, and he will obey the opinions of this "Zhongfu".

Since the saint said that he would send troops to Wu, there should be no change in this matter. Ye Xingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had disrupted the course of this history before, which seemed to have not affected the subsequent results.

After all, no matter what he said now, he is an "regicide" on the surface. Even if everyone in the world praises him for his chivalrous and loyalty and reputation for the country, he still has to worry about the attitude of Emperor Zhou.

If the court is unwilling to send troops to rescue the Wu Kingdom because of his own actions, then Ye Xingyuan will be at a loss for how to develop in the future.

However, Ye Xingyuan also knew that in real history, the saints and the court were willing to intervene in the affairs of the princes. It was just that because the princes in various places were used to not seeking help from the emperor, they lacked a statement.

If you forcefully intervene in the disputes between the princes, it will be unfair and unfavorable, and the saint will not do it.

It was precisely because Zhong Qi in history who saw through this that he risked his life to go to the court and ask for help from the emperor and the saints. The saint got this opportunity and then went south with the momentum of plowing the temple and sweeping the caves, intimidating the Yue Kingdom, and began to establish the reputation of the Zhou royal family's revival, and took the first step of "restraining oneself and restoring the rituals".

When Gao Huajun heard the saint agree to help, he was happy for Ye Xingyuan. The saint began to be busy with the affairs of the palace. He took Ye Xingyuan back to his residence and asked Ye Xingyuan to stay for one night and enter the palace tomorrow.

Ye Xingyuan and Gao Huajun had a foundation to get along with each other and knew his temper very well. The two talked happily. However, it was obvious that Ye Xingyuan's actions in the world after Gao Huajun's death did not affect the "Gao Huajun" in the world after Zhong Qi's death.

There is no such person as Ye Xingyuan in Gao Huajun's memory.

As recorded in history, after discovering that his father and stepmother were about to kill him, he left his hometown and came to Luoyi to study with the saint. He has been in Luoyi for three years now. He is extremely talented and learns things very quickly. He has been regarded as one of his disciples by the saints.

This "King of Gao Hua" is no different from the one that Ye Xingyuan saw before. It can be seen that this filial son is consistent in his or her appearance and has a pure heart.

He and Ye Xingyuan were sympathetic and talked with each other. Until the east was white and there was a rooster crowing, he hurriedly urged Ye Xingyuan to sleep for a while. He got up early the next morning, went to the school to pay homage to the saint, and went to the palace together.

Today, Luoyi has been far less prosperous than before after hundreds of years of wind and frost. It is said that it is a royal palace, but in fact it has been abandoned a lot, and large areas of palaces are vacant. The saints planned to rebuild the palaces and pavilions for the dignity of the royal family, but considering the financial issues, they finally did not rush to make a big move.

It was not until the emperor became an adult, and the saints obeyed the virtues of the saints, and the princes in various places restored their tributes, and the palace began to be rebuilt. That would have happened more than ten years later.

Ye Xingyuan complained in his heart that as the saint followed, he entered the palace gate, passed through large open spaces and steps, and then arrived at the hall with lights.

The emperor was just a seven or eight-year-old child. He wore a flat crown and a black brocade robe. He sat upright on the huge dragon chaise, looking like he was shrunk into a small ball, making people feel fearless.

Ye Xingyuan remembered that the emperor was born with insufficient success and his life span was not eternal. He died less than 30 years old. Later, the successor no longer trusted the saints as much as he did. Instead, he was quite suspicious, which led to the saints leaving in the end and traveling around the countries. The revival of the Zhou royal family was like a flash in the pan.

The saint said, "Report to Your Majesty, the Wu and Yue are now in dispute in the south. Yue State has launched troops to attack Wu for no reason, which violates the laws of the princes. Now an envoy from Wu State comes to express his feelings and asks His Majesty to issue an order to seize it."

The emperor was young and mature, nodded slightly and said, "But it is up to the father of Asia to make the decision."

The saint twisted his beard and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, the old minister led the emperor's army south and ordered the Vietnamese army to retreat, so that he would not invade the territory of Wu again, and what about the tribute ceremony?"

The emperor was shocked and asked quickly: "Father Ya, I heard that there are 100,000 troops in Yue State, and they are all skilled in swordsmanship. They are the soldiers of the Xionghu. Now there are only a thousand personal soldiers in the court, how can they be suppressed?"

The saint said without considering it: "No need for a thousand people, but only three hundred old ministers can rely on the emperor's authority to make these clowns bow their heads and admit their mistakes. Your Majesty does not need to worry."

The emperor still couldn't believe it, but he knew that Yafu would never talk nonsense, so he nodded. Ye Xingyuan was also impressed by his admiration. Although he knew that the saint did have the ability to subdue thousands of troops with one person, his heroism was still heartbreaking.

After paying homage to the emperor, the saint took Ye Xingyuan to the palace, inspected the troops and horses, and did not delay. He chose the nearest auspicious day and went out of the city to go south. Ye Xingyuan naturally followed him, and saw the chariot with a silence of horses. The saint sat alone on a military chariot, wearing plain clothes and long robe, without armor, and without weapons, and was leisurely and contented.

Gao Huajun was reluctant to let go of his new friends, and was also worried about the safety of the saint, so he walked with Ye Xingyuan. Seeing the saint's appearance, he exclaimed in secret: "Brother Zhong, is it okay for the teacher to go to the south like this? Although he has a profound knowledge, I heard that Yue Kingdom is a barbarian, and he is brave and ruthless. Can he listen to the teacher's teachings?"

Although a saint has supernatural powers, it is not easy to use. The so-called "swords and weapons are weapons, and the saints have no choice but to use them." During this period of time, even close disciples have never seen the saint Vajra look angry.

Gao Huajun himself also has magical powers, but he is only able to save his life and escape. I can't imagine that someone can use his body to fight against the 100,000 soldiers.

Ye Xingyuan smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Gao, don't worry. The saint has made every decision. How can we not know? This time we followed us just to learn more from the saint."

Of course he had no doubts at all. The saint could turn the secrets of heaven and change the destiny of heaven with one move. What is the mere 100,000 troops of Yue Kingdom? If the saint was willing, they could treat them as ants.

If a sage is unkind, the people can be straw dogs.

Gao Huajun was skeptical and only watched the emperor's three hundred personal troops heading south. The princes on the way were laughing at him when they heard that they were going to mediate the dispute between Wu and Yue.

Although the Wu and Yue Kingdom were remote in the south, they had a strong military force and were good at producing iron tools. They were sometimes the most important countries. Now that the country is in full swing, they are the old overlords of the Central Plains. They are unwilling to face the brilliance of their heads and send envoys to make a marriage agreement.

Now they are fighting internally, and the great powers in the north are happy to see it. The Zhou emperor is secretly weak, so he takes three hundred soldiers to mediate this war. Isn’t that a joke?

Moreover, the leader is not a general on the battlefield, but an elderly old master. Could it be that he really wants to reason with the southern barbarians? Isn’t it true that “a scholar who meets a soldier can’t explain it clearly”?

Someone mocked, "As soon as you go, the authority of the Zhou royal family will be completely wiped out. Who else will care about this emperor in the future?"

Someone sneered: "Even if you don't go, who else should take the Emperor Zhou seriously now? I see that old master is also delusional and has become pedantic and hopes that Yue will respect the emperor's destiny and will take the opportunity to step down and fight for the royal family."

Someone shook his head and said, "The people of Yue are so brave and fierce. They are not polite to the princes. How could they care about these things? The old man can come back alive, even if he respects his teachers and respects the truth!"

The saint preached in Luoyi Academy for decades, and it can be said that he was a master of the world. The nobles of various countries have received more or less educated him. Therefore, although he felt that his actions were rash, he did not want to be too rude to him in his words, but he just lamented his whimsical thoughts.

These rumors were circulated among the 300 soldiers led by the saint. When they were camping, Ye Xingyuan and Gao Huajun were patrolling the night, and they often heard people talking about this. Gao Huajun became more anxious, but Ye Xingyuan smiled but said nothing.
