Chapter 912 Mr. Speaks
Chu Huan said "Oh", but was a little surprised. When Lei Guheng was transferred to the southeast, Chu Huan once thought that Lei Guheng might be able to stabilize the situation in the southeast. After all, Tianmen Dao was just a group of mobs, and Lei Guheng was a famous imperial general who had been through many battles. Moreover, Lei Guheng took away the imperial elite guards.
But he didn't expect that the combat power of Tianmen Dao was so strong, and a group of mobs made the empire famous generals extremely difficult.
"The Jinling Road is now timid before fighting." Du Fugong's eyes were filled with sarcasm, "As long as a Tianmen Dao army really enters Jinling Road, I'm afraid that Jinling Road will surrender without fighting."
Chu Huan just smiled and didn't speak. He didn't think that the officers and soldiers of Jinling Road would surrender without fighting, but he believed that if the officials and gentry of Jinling had already begun to think about retreating to the capital, then when Tianmen Dao really defeated Lei Guheng and the soldiers entered Jinling, the officials of Jinling would be timid. At that time, they might not be the enemy of Tianmen Dao.
Chu Huan knew that from ancient times to the present, using religion to confuse the people and cause trouble to the world. Even if the mob is involved, it will often pose a great threat to the court.
What he knew about the Taiping Dao Rebellion in the late Han Dynasty, the later Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of Hong Xiuquan, and the Bailian Sect in the late Qing Dynasty, all of them shocked the court. Although most of them were ultimately defeated, Zhu Yuanzhang, who used to use religious power to seize the country. Chu Huan didn't know what the Tianmen Dao would grow. Although the empire's foreign troubles were temporarily worried, the internal troubles within the empire were enough to deal a fatal blow to the Qin Empire.
He also knew that he could gather a group of mobs, not only was not quickly calmed down by Lei Guheng, but he was stalemate with Lei Guheng and was not at a disadvantage at all. This is of course because the Tianmen Dao, which has always been regarded as a mob, is not as simple as imagined. This force, which is regarded as a mob, actually seems to have caused a group of people who are unknown to the world to work hard because of their beliefs, but its organization is very strict. At least after Chu Huan knew about the Six Paths of Heaven and when he saw General Mu, one of the generals, he knew that the Tianmen Dao was a heavy enemy of the court. He didn't know how the emperor positioned the Tianmen Dao.
He just regarded them as a group of mobs, just like the bandits who have been pacified countless times before, he still regarded them as strong enemies. If it were the latter, Chu Huan believed that even if the emperor didn't care about anything else, he would never care about his own country. He should have designated a set of countermeasures to deal with the advance of the Tianmen Taoist disciples.
But if the emperor really only regarded the Tianmen Taoist disciples as a group of mob bandits, Chu Huan was very worried that the emperor would not have any solution at all.
"The disciples of Tianmen Dao did not really enter the Jinling Road, just because Lei Guheng guarded Jianghuai. With Lei Guheng's ability, as long as the court supports it, even if the Tianmen Dao cannot calm down the chaos, they can still block the Jianghuai, so that Tianmen Dao will not really enter Jinling." Du Fugong said slowly: "It's just that once Lei Guheng is in a loss... Sir, do you think there is still someone who can stop Tianmen Dao from advancing north?"
Chu Huan frowned, pondered slightly, and finally lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Du, do you mean that the Tianmen Taoist disciples still have the possibility of invading the capital?"
Du Fugong smiled faintly and said, "Why is there no possibility? The Luo'an capital city is not without its loss. Luo'an has three rivers, Qinshui, Gushui, and RaoShui. It claims to have crossed the capital outside, with strong mountains to the west, beautiful clouds to the east, and surrounded by mountains and rivers. It seems as stable as Mount Tai, but in fact it is not suitable to be the imperial capital. Entering Jinling and coming to Luo'an, it is flat and there is almost no danger to defend. The capital city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, like a tiger trapped in a cage. If a large army is in a verge of...!" He didn't say much, but just picked up the soy milk and tasted it again.
Chu Huan heard Du Fugong's words, as if full of great truths, he asked: "Mr. What he meant is that once Lei Guheng could not defend Jianghuai, the soldiers and horses of Tianmen Road could be driven straight into the capital?"
"The reason why the weather was chosen as Luo'an was because it was pleasant and suitable for living, and the Yuling of Jinling was always a prosperous place." Du Fugong touched his beard and said, "It is located in the south, very far from the bitter and cold land in the north, and in the heart of the Central Plains, so there is no need to worry about the enemy from the north entering the capital. The Three Kingdoms compete for power, and the Eastern Wu eventually unifies the world. Luo'an is located in Wu, which is the heart of Wu. It is reasonable for Wu to be the same. However, the Hua Dynasty and Qin State established capital here one after another, perhaps because they all thought that this was the place where the Grand Duchy was." After a pause, he continued, "But the south is mostly plains, to deal with the invading enemies in the north, as well as the Fen River and Hongguan natural dangers, but if the enemy comes from the south, there is no real natural danger to guard."
Chu Huan nodded slightly and sighed: "It seems that Luo An's safety is in General Lei's hands."
"Yes." Du Fugong nodded and said, "If Lei Guheng is safe and sound, Kyoto may be protected. Once Lei Guheng is a little surprised, Kyoto will be in danger. Lord Chu, Lei Guheng is already old. As far as I know, he is suffering from old injuries. He went to the southeast with injuries. If he calmed down in a short time, it would be fine. However, if he consumed a long time, can Lei Guheng's energy and physical strength be able to hold on?"
Chu Huan felt something in Du Fugong's words and immediately said: "Mr. Du, have you seen something?"
"No, no." Du Fugong waved his hand and smiled, "It's just nonsense. The adult asked me if it's suitable to build a shop in Kyoto at this time. Du said a few nonsense at the time. Don't be surprised, do you want to build another shop, and you still have to make the decision on everything."
Chu Huan sighed and said, "Since that's the case, it's better to run the two shops."
Du Fugong stood up and bowed, "Du will go to find Shen Wansi today and ask him to hire a treasure master."
"Okay." Chu Huan also got up, "It's all Mr. Du."
Du Fugong bowed his hand and walked to the door. Suddenly he thought of something, turned around, frowned and asked, "Sir, is that painting very important to you?"
"Drawing?" Chu Huan was stunned and did not react for a moment.
"Peacock spreads its screen picture!"
"Oh?" Chu Huan then remembered that when he bought Du Fugong, he saw a peacock picture drawn by Du Fugong on the wall of the Rebirth Hall, which was exactly the same as the blessed peacock picture seen in Xiliang. He was very surprised at that time and found Du Fugong to ask what happened. Unfortunately, Du Fugong kept silent, but instead proposed the conditions to ask Chu Huan to help kill Duke An Guo and Lang Wuxu before he could inform him.
Chu Huan was thinking a lot about it. If Du Fu Gong had not mentioned it at this moment, he would have almost forgotten it.
When Chu Huan saw Du Fugong asking, he hurriedly said, "Is it important? Actually, I don't know either. I just asked to prove some things, so I really want to know its origin!"
Du Fugong thought for a while, walked back, and whispered: "I know nothing about this picture, but I just know where it comes from."
"oh?"
"Rebirth Hall Hurs knew that I was good at painting, so I bought me in the past just to use me to draw for him." Du Fugong pondered for a while and finally said: "My paintings should be sold for some money when thrown in the market, so Hurs repeatedly searched for me to his account and asked me to paint for him."
Chu Huan sighed: "Mr. Du is an elegant person. He reads and paints just to cultivate one's own character and enjoy his emotions. Huls's body is so stinking that he wants to blaspheme his elegance, so he will never surrender."
Du Fugong smiled faintly, but a hint of relief flashed through his eyes. He was a scholar, and he was still noble and arrogant in his bones. Others didn't understand him. However, Chu Huan's words made Du Fugong very happy and quite soulmate. However, he was very well-educated and did not like to show his feelings. He smiled and said, "I remember once, he repeatedly threatened me in the tent, and even took out a knife, saying that Du was a lowly person and was already a slave. If he killed me, he would not care about it. That meant that if he didn't paint for him, he would kill me."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "Fortunately Huls didn't do this, otherwise there would be such a convenient accounting in our mansion."
Du Fugong said again: "That day, someone happened to be looking for him. He went out to talk. I saw a landscape picture in his room. Actually, I went to his house many times, and saw that picture many times. It was written by a famous artist and had some meaning, so I went up to see a place that was very vivid. When I felt it, I reached out to touch it and touched it... But I never expected that when I touched it, the picture suddenly moved, and then I realized that it was a picture frame that fits the wall very well. After pressing it, the frame turned into the wall, but revealed the other side."
Chu Huan understood something, and his eyes lit up: "Sir, on the other side, is it...is it... that peacock picture?"
Du Fugong nodded and said, "Yes, the picture frame has both front and back. The one that usually shows people is the landscape picture, but on the back of the picture frame, there is a picture of peacock spreading on the screen. The picture of peacock spreading on the screen is really wonderful. The first-class painting and the posture of peacocks are vividly revealed on the painting. Du has also seen countless paintings, and there are many works of the best. It does not mean that the picture of peacock is priceless, but among the peacock paintings, the picture is the most exquisite and realistic paintings that Du has ever seen in his life. It seems to fly out of the painting."
Chu Huan clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Sir, are you talking about the Peacock's opening screen in Rebirth Hall?"
Du Fugong nodded and said, "Yes, it's right in Huls's account, which is his forbidden area. Without his permission, no one can get close to it. Huls thinks that peacock picture is regarded as a treasure and must be very important to him. Otherwise... he wouldn't have collected it so strictly. If it weren't for the chance that day, no one would know that his account had such a peacock picture."
Chu Huan bowed and said solemnly: "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Chu is very grateful!"
Du Fugong didn't say much, but turned around and left. Chu Huan looked at Du Fugong's departure back, but his heart was full of doubts. Hurs was just a businessman, how could he have such a peacock picture? The peacock spreading screen picture was worshipped by Ashidu and others in Daxin Sect? Could it be that this Hu Shang was also involved in Daxin Sect?
