I'm The Emperor of All-Heavens

Chapter 873

"This person is Shen Gongbao?"

When Su Hu looked carefully, he saw that the Taoist looked strange and dusty. He was no different from the outsiders he had met. I don't know why those scholars were so afraid of him.

Normally speaking, outsiders have a single temperament and seldom communicate with others. They should be clumsy in words. Shen Gongbao's reputation must be unusual and should not be neglected.

Su Hu kept Shen Gongbao in mind and looked down the stage.

The person who invited him was not on the stage, but off the stage.

Two old men with white hair and beard got up and saluted from a distance.

"Su Hou!"

"Taibo! Zhongyong!"

Both sides sat down and looked at each other. They both tacitly smiled bitterly.

These two are of great seniority. They are Ji Li's eldest and second brothers, that is, Ji Chang's eldest and second uncles.

Historically, they were the pioneers of the state of Wu, the state of Wu in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period.

Imagine that hundreds of years later, the state of Wu is a remote place, which has not yet been developed, and it is a corner where birds do not lay eggs. Why did the two Xiqi clans go to that place?

Quite simply, the contention failed.

Their father wanted to pass the throne of Xibo hou to Lao San Ji Li. As two brothers, Taibo and Zhongyong took the initiative to avoid, moved to Jiangdong and established the state of Gouwu.

This kind of behavior was later greatly praised by Confucius and called it supreme virtue. It was called Yan because the world let the people have nothing.

However, it is also controversial whether the avoidance is active or helpless, because they deliberately make themselves like local natives, tattooed with patterns and cut their hair, saying that they can't inherit the throne, which reassures Ji Li.

Of course, only the party concerned knows the real mind. Let's not say Zhide or whitewash for the time being. At least in this life, Taibo and Zhongyong can't sit still.

What is the most important thing for them to open up wasteland in the south of the Yangtze River and establish the state of Wu?

Slave!

Civilians are not willing to do such hard work as opening up wasteland. Only slaves die.

Similarly, the first civilians of the state of Wu were actually living slaves, freed from slavery and free.

But now that Xiqi's slaves have become soldiers, who is willing to open up wasteland?

These two have been miserable enough. Now, they will appear in Chaoge, and invite Su Hu for the first time. It is the same illness that makes them feel sorry for each other.

Sure enough, after Su Hu sat down, the three talked happily and criticized wantonly, and soon the spectators around him also gathered.

Su Hu found that although there were differences between the two factions in the famous debate, most of the people gathered here were opponents who had a great aversion to the reform and suffered losses in their interests.

Su Hu was afraid of a single spark and had started a prairie fire. Now he settled down.

It seems that most people are sensible.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Not everyone in fengyatai can come in. If there is no certain family wealth, they will be directly excluded. Those who can come in are either rich or expensive. They are basically slave owners.

Slave owners are divided into two groups. One group is rich civilians, most of whom are rich in business. Slaves are handed down from generation to generation, that is, the prototype of later rich families, and the other group is small princes.

As for those who agreed to the restructuring, either they were great princes, strong military strength and won fame, or they were kind-hearted and could not bear to see themselves as human beings, and slaves lived worse than pigs and dogs.

For the little princes, they don't need strong military power. Can they rebel when strong is dead?

For slave owners, what is kindness? They only know that their slaves, who should have belonged to them, were taken away by unreasonable, and they want revenge.

"Revenge!"

The frequent occurrence of this word moved Su Hu.

It comes from the debate of famous experts. At first, it was the summary of slave behavior made by the reform party supporting the reform.

These famous debaters believe that the oppression is too heavy. One day, slaves will rise up and take revenge. It is better to block than to dredge. Instead of breaking out in chaos in the future, it is better to take the initiative to solve it and give slaves equal opportunities.

Now the backbone of this concept is Shen Gongbao.

Most of the celebrities are diehards who oppose the reform.

There is also revenge among this group of people, but it is the slave owners and princes whose interests have been violated. For the Revenge of the reformers, at that time, the world will be turbulent and wars will occur frequently. The defeated side will inevitably be demoted as slaves. Slaves will not reduce but increase, which will not only solve the problem, but also aggravate its harm in turn.

Both sides have their own reasons for coming and going, but since Shen Gongbao came, he has argued with his own tongue. He often has a keen insight into the weak points in each other's words, or he has found another way to create traps and refute the opposition speechless.

Both on and off the stage, people hate their teeth itching. It's just that this is a place for literary fighting. Your majesty pays attention to it. They dare not make a mistake, otherwise they will inevitably pull down Shen Gongbao and beat him violently.

Su Hu, a bystander, feels that the victory or defeat on the stage is actually harmless. It's just a show of tongue. The key is still under the stage.

Although these slave owners and princes are not absolutely high-level, they are all powerful ruling classes. Since they share a common hatred, why not form an alliance?

These slave owners have resources in their hands. They want food, money and money. Once they get their support, the hatred of the Jizhou war must make the four princes tit for tat and blood for blood!

Avenger! Avenger!

"Are you full?"

Just as Su Hu was considering rallying his arms to form an alliance, a natural and unrestrained voice sounded on the stage, but Shen Gongbao put down his wine bottle and looked at many celebrities.

As soon as the stage was quiet, the faces of all the people were not good-looking. They looked back with eager eyes after humiliation.

Shen Gongbao appreciated this look.

He was born in the demon family. Although he entered the yuxu Palace by chance, he was ignored by a line of Hongmiao Zheng's disciples. He has practiced Taoism for thousands of years. Unexpectedly, he is still under Jiang Ziya, who has practiced Taoism for 40 years and has shallow Taoism. He calls his senior brother.

Shen Gongbao was angry and traveled around. He made friends with some foreign teachers and Taoist friends and got along well. He came to Chaoge years ago and was very interesting to see famous experts debate. He also joined it and won an unprecedented reputation.

On the one hand, this sense of achievement made his self-esteem vigorous, which had been suppressed for a long time. On the other hand, he also heard about the canonization, knew that the world might change greatly, and thought about joining the world to practice. Maybe he would be appreciated by the emperor like Wen Zhong, get a high position in big business, and practice with the help of the torrent of humanity.

Although he has not yet been summoned by the emperor, Shen Gongbao firmly believes that he has become the eye of his majesty. As long as he continues to perform, he will gain. All these literati and celebrities on the stage are his stepping stones.

Just about to go to the next city, there was a melodious bell in my ear.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Shen Gongbao's face changed dramatically. Regardless of others, he immediately floated down the elegant platform, turned into a streamer and went to Kunlun mountain.

Ring the bell in yuxu palace and gather all the disciples!
