Chapter 63 Worry

Without speculation, Yang Ji was speechless by Yuwen Wen, but he could not leave. He could only find a way to change the topic but could not change it. He had been in this era for more than 20 years and had a ease with the powerful, but he had no choice but to do anything to Yuwen Wen.

"You are so rude. You can keep yourself clean, but your wife and children must not be free from fireworks, right? With your military merits, Xian will be the wife of the imperial decree sooner or later. When you interact with other wives, you will not know anything. If you are a village woman, you will have a face?"

"Okay, I'll keep the house in a hurry and don't let me go anywhere. It's not impossible to thank the guests in the closed door, but is it interesting? What about my son? What about my son? Isn't interacting with other powerful children and not knowing the worldly ways. If you leave in the future, who will help him?"

"Don't look at me! I will definitely have a lot of children and grandchildren in the future, and I will be very busy and have no time to take care of your children and grandchildren!"

Seeing that Yuwen Wen was getting more outrageous as he spoke, Yang Ji decided to use his ultimate move: "Can the king know the origin of the prophecy of the Golden Sword?"

"Isn't it just the Mao Jindao Liu? Isn't it just the lie-out prophecy of Liu's revival? Is it interesting to distract the topic like this? Is it interesting?" Yuwen Wen sneered, not caring about it.

"I'll say it again, sooner or later you will have a wife and children. Don't always think about keeping yourself clean, but think about your wife and children more!"

Yang Ji suddenly made a profound and unfathomable statement: "Can the king know Liu Ju and Li Hong?"

"Turn, just pull it! I...uh? Liu Ju and Li Hong? Li Hong...are you not the sons of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi? Why are you here?"

Successfully shifted Yuwen Wen's attention, Yang Ji quickly struck while the iron was hot: "King, Li Zhi is in response to the prophecy..."

"Continue, keep pulling."

"Does the king still remember the prophecies or nursery rhymes at the end of the Sui Dynasty?"

"Peach and plum trees, the flood surrounds Yangshan." Yuwen Wen answered happily. The story of the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties is well known. He gathered a lot of heroes at the end of the Sui and early Tang Dynasties. He probably remembered the relevant historical background (story background).

"What nursery rhymes do you remember?"

"Peach and plums win the world, the queen surrounds Yangzhou and turns into the garden, don't talk, who would like to say? There is also 'Panghuan flowers fall, pear flowers bloom'... You won't believe this kind of deceptive trick, right?"

Yuwen Wen was not interested in prophecies and nursery rhymes at all. This was purely a controversial statement, but it was quite prosperous in the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The subsequent Li Tang promoted the fire to prove that the "peach and plums" were the will of heaven to win the world.

Yang Ji asked again: "Does the king know that 'a pool of water under the poplar tree will flow when it is determined, and if it is not determined, it will flow when it is not determined'?"

"Hmm? Liu... Li... Could it be Liu and Li?"

"That's right, this nursery rhyme refers to the Yang family's world, either the one with the surname Liu or the one with the surname Li."

"So there are saviors like Liu Ju and Li Hong?"

Yuwen Wen sneered and then picked up the tea cup, which meant to serve tea and see the guests. The topic Yang Ji raised was boring. He felt boring. He fought for the world by relying on strong troops and horses, and by food and population. Whoever dared not accept it would cut off anyone. If you make such nursery rhymes that are no different from rumors, the prophecies are boring.

"Master, don't ignore it!"

Yang Ji was a rare rude person. He didn't know how to leave, but continued talking. Yuwen Wen looked at the other person with an idiot's eyes, listened patiently, and his expression became solemn before he knew it.

There was a reason for Yang Ji to raise this topic. Yuwen Wen, who had left behind in Huangzhou, wrote a letter saying that someone from the Huangzhou General Administration secretly opened a civil service. These people came from a foreign civil service. The source was abnormal, and it was the Maitreya Buddhist civil service that had been misinterpreted by someone.

In short, it is a cult, which may be a tool for its leader to gather people to make trouble and try to change the dynasty. However, the tentacles that extend to Huangzhou, which have been cut off by Yuwen Shiwu, and there is no further information.

Since he started the topic, Yang Ji naturally had to make a long statement. His entry point was a bit special, starting with the development of Buddhism in the Central Plains.

Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains during the Western Han Dynasty, but its development was very slow. Until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a sudden explosive development. The reason was because of the current situation.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was divided into three parts, and finally the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin. I thought that the world would be peaceful, but I never expected that the greater chaotic times would follow.

The Eight Kings Rebellion, the disaster of Yongjia, the transit of clothes and hats in the south, the Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms, the confrontation between the north and the south, the world is in chaos, and the people are living in dire straits. The world is like hell, and many people begin to believe in Buddhism and practice in the next life in despair.

Not only the people at the bottom, but also the members of the Hu tribe, even the upper class, the powerful and even the royal family began to believe in Buddhism and worship Buddha, but there was nothing else, and they were just guilty.

The frequent changes of dynasties, bloody coups are common, and all human ethics and brothers are lost in the face of power. The winners' hands are covered with blood and are panicked in their hearts. They can only rely on believing in Buddhism and worshipping Buddha to make themselves sleep peacefully.

Buddhism was flourishing in both north and south, and the Maitreya belief in "Maitreya's life and salvation of the world" was believed by poor people. Once this belief was combined with the prophecies and divination theory in the Central Plains, it was derived from the slogan "Liu's Revival" and a famous and surnamed savior: Liu Ju.

At the same time, Taoism, which is fiercely competing with Buddhism, also combined the doctrine of prophecy and divination and introduced its own savior. Buddhism has Liu Ju, who was born in Maitreya, and Taoism has Li Hong, who was born in Taoism, with the slogan "Li's family will rise."

Liu Ju and Li Hong became the savior who were expected by all living beings in troubled times, but there was no other day. Which one was the true emperor? Then it depends on the knowledgeable people to go to the false and preserve the truth. This involves the theory of prophecies and divination.

Because of the lessons of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu's response to the prophecy and the revival of the Han Dynasty, and the popularity of Qing dynasties since the Wei and Jin Dynasties has been growing, many famous scholars of classics have focused their energy on studying prophecies and divination theory. In order to find a true emperor who is worthy of his effectiveness, prophecies and divination theory has become increasingly popular.

The establishment of the Song State by Liu Yu, a Miao family in the Han Dynasty, confirmed the prophecy of the Jin sword and encouraged the influence of Liu Ju and Li Hong's theory of saving the world. For hundreds of years of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, many ambitious people who claimed to be surnamed Liu started the cause of "Liu's king".

It is also true that in the chaotic times of the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was a nursery rhyme that "a pool of water under the poplar trees, and if it is decided, it is flowing (Li), and if it is not decided, it is Li (Li)".

Later generations often say that Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, the Emperor Yang of Sui, was debauchery, and he cleaned the Li family just because of a nursery rhyme. As a result, the man's calculations were not as good as the God's calculations, and the world was still accepted by his cousin Li Yuan.

But in fact, what Yang Guang was afraid of was the rumors of Liu Ju and Li Hong saving the world. Because after hundreds of years of fermentation, this rumors have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, have a great influence, and are easily taken advantage of by ambitious people. They have seriously threatened the stability of the dynasty. Therefore, no emperor will ignore this hidden danger.

During the Sui Dynasty, the strength of the powerful groups of the Li surname was indeed too large, so Yang Guang could understand it even if he was on pins and needles. When Li Yuan and Jinyang rose up to take charge of Chang'an, Li Hong saved the world, and the prophecy of "Li's family is about to rise" became a reality.

In order to confront Li Tang, the heroes wanted to "resurrect the Liu family, with the Li family as their auxiliary", and to defeat Li Tang by heaven's will. Some Maitreya believers even called "revival of Liu family" and "rebirth of Maitreya", hoping to use this to call on the people to gather under the Liu family's banner to compete for the Central Plains.

"Is it the same with Liu Heita, who is undying to Li Tang?"

"The king, the officials thought that Liu Heita was just borrowing the prophecy of "Liu's Revival", but what do the king thinks about the word "Heita"?"

"Heita, Black Otter, could it be?" Yu Wenwen asked with some uncertainty. Zhou Taizu Yu Wentai, also known as "Black Otter", pronunciation is the same as Liu Heita's "Heita" at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Ji nodded: "King, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Huhua situation in the north has been very common, so the name "Black Otter" and "Heita" were sparse in the north, and the Huhua phenomenon in the Heshuo area became more and more serious in the Tang Dynasty..."

"What the hell do you want to say?"

"King, Heshuo cavalry is famous all over the world..."

"Say the point!"

"King, since the second year of the elephant, there have been constant disputes in the Central Plains. It took seven or eight years for the Zhou and Sui Dynasty to decide the victory. As soon as the Sui Kingdom was destroyed, the court launched a large-scale construction of the new capital of Luoyang. In the same year, it even launched a large number of troops to go south to pacify Chen..."

"The people have not been able to rest for years of war. It would be fine if the government army pacified Chen in one fell swoop, but the war is not good now. Jiankang has not taken it down from the beginning of the year to the present. Seeing autumn is coming, the war is probably going to continue. Those civilians who were recruited by the government have been away from home for a year!"

"Even if the court pacified Jiangnan and unified the world, the Yuwen family and the Yuchi family would break apart sooner or later. When the war broke out again, can the people still bear it?" Yang Ji became more and more excited. "King! At that time, the people's hearts were floating. I don't know how many Liu Ju will be. Li Hong is ready to move, waiting to confirm the prophecy!"

"If a large-scale civil rebellion breaks out, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. If the king only stares at the Yuchi family, he may end up being the king's front!"

"In the rebellion of the six towns of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Erzhu Rong took advantage of the situation to control the government and threaten the emperor. At that time, the attention of the government and the people was between the Yuan clan and the Erzhu clan. As a result, both sides suffered losses, and Gao Huan and the Yellow Bird were behind."
