"A great scholar enters Shu——"
At the northern city gate of Chengdu, there was a long and excited shout, which instantly brought cheers from all around. Many Chengdu people, even officials, gathered outside the city gate to welcome the great Confucians who entered Shu.
Xu Mu did not greet him. According to what he said, a few old men hanging their schoolbags were thinking of causing trouble in Xishu, and he was going to kill them.
"Lord, everything is ready at the post house."
Xu Mu nodded. He gave this piece of shit some face.
When Xu Mu turned around, he didn't take a few steps, but found that the commander Sun Xun suddenly brought two people over. Taking another look, one of them was clearly Lao Wang.
Xu Mu was overjoyed. In Xishu, if you want to talk about an old scholar with enough weight, Wang Yong in front of you is the best choice.
"See my lord!"
"No need to be polite, just get up."
Xu Mu raised his head and looked at Wang Yong, another old Confucian who was a little thin. In Western Shu, he had seen many Confucian scholars like Wang Yong. But the person in front of him seemed to be unknown to him.
"Chen Fang, I have met the King of Shu."
"Polite." Xu Mu nodded. I just thought it was a helper brought in by Lao Wang. Unexpectedly, when Chen Fang opened his mouth, he was a little surprised.
"When King Xu Shu entered the grassland, the famous historical article was written below..."
"The one who can defeat 800,000 Beidi warriors with one person?"
"Exactly."
Xu Mu was a little speechless, "In this way, you also wrote "The Battle of Floating Mountains and Waters".
"Not only that, I also wrote the list of famous generals." Chen Fang continued with a smile, "I told Old Wangtou before that when I entered Shu, I wanted to give the King of Shu an opportunity."
"What an opportunity."
"King Shu, does he know where I am from?"
"I don't know."
"To the east of Dingzhou, people from Lizhou."
Xu Mu narrowed his eyes slightly. Yin Hu, who was following him, also became serious.
Dingzhou and Lizhou, Dingdong Pass and Dayuan Pass are currently at a stalemate. Dongfang Jing and Chang Sheng are facing each other tit for tat, fighting with open swords and secret arrows.
But now, in front of him, Chen Fang, a Lizhou native, wanted to give him an opportunity at this juncture. Xu Mu was worried that maybe it was Xiao Changsheng's evil plan again.
"Don't worry, King Shu. You and I will talk about it later. An old Confucian has come to Shu in the past few days. If he wants to argue, I will go and have a meeting with the old Wangtou."
Xu Mu was not very interested in the debate between Confucian scholars. If you lose, you lose. It will only make the people of Xishu feel a little unwilling for a period of time.
Once these bullshit scholars leave, he will have plenty of ways to inspire public opinion.
Letting Wang Yong come back means that the whole of Xishu needs a Confucian who can support the scene. And Wang Yong is just right.
However, Xu Mu had no objection to Chen Fang's request. It was more lively, and it also showed that he, the king of Shu, was serious about this kind of Confucianism.
"Thank you, sir." Xu Mu held his hand indifferently.
…
Chengdu Beimen Posthouse.
This post house can be regarded as the highest standard. Normally when foreign envoys arrive, they will stay here and wait for Xu Mu's summons.
In comparison, these great scholars who entered Shu were treated like this, which was considered a generous sum of money.
It's a pity that the few old Confucians sitting in the post house and eating their meals still looked dissatisfied. One of them was wearing a bright-colored robe and a jade crown on his head. He was holding a wine cup and spoke angrily.
"Western Shu is no match for me. I heard that the Mouse King was originally a rogue. Even if he became the King of Shu, he would still be unable to make a name for himself. If he knew some sense, he should invite us to live in the palace."
This old Confucian is called Nangong Hong, and he is a well-known Confucian in the inner city. He has participated in many major events of worshiping heaven in Beiyu.
There was even an empty post of Censor Lang in Beiyu's court.
In his eyes, he naturally looked down upon the people's government like Xi Shu. The purpose of entering Shu this time was simply to follow the wishes of Beiyu's little military advisor and to embarrass Western Shu.
Of course, there's some drama involved. If it succeeds, it will subvert the hearts and minds of the people of Xishu.
Nangong Hong put down his wine cup and said with a smile on his face, "That's why I said that it is impossible for people like Xi Shu to conquer the world. The true orthodoxy is only in the north. Throughout the ages, when have you ever heard of dragon luck in the south? "
The few old scholars at the same table all agreed. This time, they are going to completely grind this foreign country into dust.
"Everyone, during the debate in two days, we are going to win a big victory and destroy the prestige of Western Shu. So that these people know that the so-called monarchy of heaven and earth is not a rogue like the King of Shu. You can get your hands on it!”
For a time, the post house was filled with cheers.
At night, in the Chengdu palace, Xu Mu felt even more unhappy after hearing the information from the postmen.
These old men really take themselves seriously. If he hadn't considered the overall situation, he would have wanted to go under the knife.
Xishu is different from Beiyu. Beiyu relies on aristocratic families. And aristocratic families have always been the breeding ground for Confucian people. In Xishu, there are not many people like Lao Wang anymore.
"Gou Fu, what do you think?" Xu Mu thought for a while and asked the young man in front of him. He suddenly discovered that gradually, the young man in front of him was slowly taking Jia Zhou's place.
Of course, this is a welcome thing.
Xiao Qiao Fu thought for a while and suddenly frowned, "I feel that even if the master doesn't take action, the matter of the great scholar entering Shu will most likely turn into a disaster."
Xu Mu was silent for a while and understood what Little Dog Fu meant. Chang Sheng drove the great Confucians into Shu not only to show off his power, but more likely to hatch a plan to subvert the public opinion of Western Shu.
"If these great scholars win, they will say that Beiyu is the orthodoxy in the world, and when the time comes, they will publicize it. There have been many Confucian scholars throughout the ages."
Under the momentum, Western Shu is like a rebel, while Beiyu is more like a continuation of the Epoch Dynasty.
Xu Mu smiled lightly and was not too worried. Very early on, he left a way out in this regard.
However, now he wants to take the puppy luck test again.
"Gou Fu, what do you suggest?"
Little Dog Fu also smiled, "Beiyu seems to have forgotten that there is actually a member of the Yuan family in Xishu. My lord did not kill him at that time, and he must have considered the current situation."
Xu Mu nodded happily.
A member of the Yuan royal family is naturally Yuan Chong. Even though this little Prince Yuan made a big mistake, Xu Mu still stayed in Chengdu.
As the same saying goes, there is no justice in this world, but if you want to do big things, you have to be righteous.
And Yuan Chong, as the last Yuan family member of the Daji Dynasty, is where the great righteousness lies. Don't say anything false, as long as Yuan Chong stands up and says a few words for Xi Shu, there are many leftovers and young people in the world who believe it without reservation.
In addition, there is also the matter of being recognized as a clan brother by the young Marquis, which can also be used to make plans.
Xu Mu exhaled.
Always victorious, no matter which aspect you start from. He, Jia Zhou, and Dongfang Jing had already considered this carefully before.
Xishu is not a scattered regime, but many people with great righteousness who come together to unite with sincerity and passion.
