Shi Zimiao announced: Cihang Jingzhai will be closed from now on. What are the conditions for the only disciple to come out of the mountain? It's the time when the big man is facing a crisis of subversion!
At first glance, it seems that this is only related to Cihang Jingzhai's future policy and has nothing to do with the present. After all, the current world should be at a time when the Han Dynasty is facing a crisis of subversion.
Only Sun Quan at the scene understood Shi Zimiao's true thoughts for the first time.
No wonder, no wonder. Previously, Sun Quan never understood Shi Zimiao's motives. He felt that Shi Zimiao's actions did not reunite the world, but instead made the world's situation more complicated. At this moment, listening to Shi Zimiao's words was like an enlightenment, and Sun Quan understood it instantly. Since Shi Zimiao said that the mountain will be closed from today, it obviously means that this is not a policy for the future. So what Shi Zimiao can only mean is that Cihang Jingzhai will no longer intervene in the war between the princes, and Cihang Jingzhai will become They must be completely neutral. They will not continue to support Liu Biao, and of course they will not specifically support others.
This also explains why the final result of the previous battle at Mount Tai was that all parties would benefit. Shi Zimiao did not deliberately give all the benefits to Jingzhou Liu Biao, because in her eyes, all princes were treated equally. After the Yellow Turbans were wiped out, there was no one in the world who could rebel against the Han Dynasty. It is true that the situation among the princes became more complicated, but from another perspective, no one conspired to rebel, and the remaining princes who supported the Han Dynasty were all fighting among themselves. The world seemed to be pure. A lot. This also explains why Shi Zimiao mobilized all his strength to completely eliminate the Yellow Turbans in one battle!
Therefore, Shi Zimiao's so-called only condition for coming out, the so-called danger of overthrow of the Han Dynasty, actually has only two possibilities: 1. Someone proclaims himself emperor or seeks to usurp the throne; 2. There is an invasion by foreigners.
The order of the owner cannot be questioned. Shi Zimiao seems to be democratic, but in fact he is arbitrary. No matter what others say, Shi Zimiao will not change his decision at all. He even says that those who do not support can leave the mountain immediately. From now on, they will no longer be considered Cihang Jingzhai people. Those who stay must resolutely close the mountain. Cut off contact with the outside world. It can be said that Shi Zimiao's condition has completely cut off the entire outer door! Even among the inner disciples, maybe half are wavering.
The disciples below were either shocked, confused, confused, or crying. None of them could accept this sudden order. Unfortunately, there is not much time left for everyone to think about it. Within ten days, those who want to leave must move out. After ten days, it will not be so easy to leave again.
The meeting is over,
The disciples dispersed in small groups, and everyone went to find their sisters who were usually close to each other to discuss their future destination. In the end, only the core four elders, um, and Sun Quan were left in Cihang Hall.
"Master, can't you see clearly what's going on in the world?" Elder Jing was the first to speak.
Shi Zimiao closed his eyes and did not answer. Elder Jing continued to ask,
"It is true that in the long run, this move may become the basis for my Jingzhai to stand for thousands of years. But why did you not make such a decision before? It was because you thought that the world was still under your control. , and now, the world is out of your control?"
Shi Zimiao still did not answer this question and said slowly,
"If you have any questions, please ask them."
The few people below all lowered their eyes without squinting, just like an old monk who has entered meditation, paying no attention to the outside world. Only Elder Shou hesitated for a while and said,
"It's hard to say for other disciples. The outstanding disciples from all the major families will definitely choose to leave this time. In the end, the only ones who can stay may be orphans and widowed mothers who can endure loneliness. From now on, we will lose countless contacts with the outside world. We really Can you still retain enough control over the general trend of the world?"
Elder Shou's problem is very real. Cihang Jingzhai closed the mountain and broke away from direct contact with major aristocratic families. Even if the remaining disciples are excellent, they will ultimately be nothing more than a very powerful Jianghu sect. Such a Jianghu sect, Can it also affect the general trend of the world? When the Han Dynasty really faces the crisis of subversion, won't Cihang Jingzhai be of little use?
"Any more?"
Shi Zimiao's expression remained unchanged. How could she not have considered these issues in detail beforehand?
Seeing the four elders at the scene, they had no intention of speaking. Sun Quan, who was standing on the outside, did not regard himself as an outsider at all and couldn't help but question him.
"Master Shizhai, what you are thinking right now is that once a prince dares to proclaim himself emperor, you will take Cihang Jingzhai's disciples out of the mountain and use an absolute attitude to dismantle the other party's political power and let him die without a burial place. To serve as a warning to the monkeys. As long as you, Cihang Jingzhai, are behind the scenes, no prince will be stupid enough to risk the disapproval of the world and claim the throne. So no matter who finally unifies the world, as long as the other party does not touch your bottom line , even if he becomes a king with a foreign surname, as long as the world still belongs to the Han Dynasty, then it won’t do any harm, right?”
The four elders, who looked like old monks in meditation just a moment ago, turned back to look at Sun Quan in surprise. They believed that Sun Quan had guessed Shi Zimiao's true thoughts. This little guy is so extraordinary. How old is he? !
"Continue." Shi Zimiao's expression also changed slightly. She knew that Sun Quan must not have finished speaking.
"Master Shi Zhai, if what I just imagined is true, have you ever thought about it. After a long period of internal strife in the Central Plains, if a foreign tribe takes the opportunity to invade, how can you, Cihang Jingzhai, really be able to invade?" Can you resist it?" Sun Quan asked loudly. It was precisely because he could not let go of the history of Wuhu Chaos in China that Sun Quan had the idea of ending the troubled times as soon as possible.
Shi Zimiao shook his head slowly, with a hint of disappointment on his face.
"You seem smart, but you haven't actually seen through it. The strong is the king, and the one who can finally rule the world must be the strongest among the princes! And his elite men have experienced countless wars, how can a few barbarians be able to do so? Easily broken?"
Sun Quan was very dissatisfied. Even though what you said made sense, he knew the real history!
"Master Shi Zhai, what I'm talking about is a hundred years from now. A hundred years from now, the so-called strongest people in your mouth and the so-called elites have long since turned into dust. Can you guarantee that the descendants of those strong people will also be able to live up to their expectations?" ?Can you resist foreign enemies?" Sun Quan seemed to be forcing himself, but only he knew that what he said was true.
As for Shi Zimiao, he has become even more disappointed.
"It's true that we can't tell what will happen in a hundred years. But as you said, no matter who I support now, I can't guarantee what will happen to his descendants. Sun Quan, if you are asked to unify the world, can you guarantee that in a hundred years, Are your descendants as ambitious as you? Can they successfully resist the foreign enemies you imagined?" Shi Zimiao asked in return.
Sun Quan's face turned red. No matter how determined he was in his heart, he could only remain speechless like a defeated rooster in the end.
Sun Quan: "One day, you will know that you are wrong!"
Shi Zimiao: "I look forward to witnessing the arrival of that day."
At this time, no one, including Sun Quan, heard the true meaning of Shi Zi's wonderful words. Shi Zimiao is confident, but not arrogant. She is not convinced that she will not make mistakes. The uncertainty of a hundred years of time cannot be guessed no matter how smart she is. Shi Zimiao really hopes to witness the arrival of that day and witness the arrival of that day a hundred years later. and even longer-term uncertainties in the future.
