Guobei County.
County magistrate Tian Wenliang is very unlucky and has been captured!
After all, it can never happen again. Last time Guobei County was broken into by horse thieves. Although the horse thieves were backed by demons, the city was still broken.
Logically speaking, as the head and magistrate of a county, he should be questioned by the court.
However, for some unknown reason, he is still functioning as his own county magistrate.
However, when Chen Yun was labeled a rebel and the imperial army came to suppress the rebellion, the county magistrate Tian Wenliang, who was the head of Guobei County where the rebels were found, was naturally to blame.
Therefore, he was thrown into jail.
Fortunately, Tian Wenliang's master was not implicated and did not even abandon him. He directly bribed Zhang Beihai, the commander-in-chief who took over the defense of Guobei County, with most of the money Tian Wenliang collected.
The purpose is not to release him, but to give his Dong Weng a better prison environment.
After all, even if we try our best, it shouldn’t be now!
So Tian Wenliang finally left that dirty, smelly, and wet death cell today and moved to a new cell.
By chance, I was placed in the cleanest and quietest cell here, Zhuge Wolong's.
"Who are you?"
Tian Wenliang, the former county magistrate, was quite curious. The man in front of him, who was in ragged clothes, with messy beard and hair, actually had pen, ink, paper and inkstone deep in the cell!
In fact, Tian Wenliang still didn't know that when this army came, the old man in ragged clothes with messy beard and hair would still have clean clothes and a large desk in front of him.
It was just because something happened in Guobei County and a large army was summoned, otherwise the life of the old man in front of him was still as leisurely and comfortable as ever, even in prison.
At this time, although the army had taken over the entire Guobei County, and the county magistrate Tian Wenliang was also caught and imprisoned, in order to prevent others from thinking that he was too arrogant, Zhuge Wolong had everyone move away all the conspicuous things.
To outsiders, he is now just an ordinary person in jail!
But if he is an ordinary person in prison, how can he have the luxuries of pen, ink, paper and inkstone in prison?
Although Tian Wenliang was greedy for money, he still had a normal IQ, so he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him.
Why didn’t this person hear about it when he was in office?
But it's not surprising. The county magistrate usually deals with big things. Who is being held in a mere prison and how long will he be held?
That was a matter for the clerk in the sixth room and the prison chief. It had nothing to do with him, so he didn't know him.
So I am very surprised and curious at the moment.
But Zhuge Wolong was not at all curious about him, but knew it well: "County Lord, don't be surprised, we have seen him before!
When the county minister first took office, I left this cell to watch the ceremony!
It's just that the county magistrate was in high spirits at that time and never paid attention to the old man!
I would like to solemnly introduce myself, the old Zhuge Wolong, maybe someone mentioned it in front of the county magistrate! "
This self-introduction surprised Tian Wenliang: "Are you Zhuge Wolong?
But why are you here? "
Of course Tian Wenliang has heard of Zhuge Wolong's name. After all, although this old man is not famous all over the world, his name is still very loud among scholars!
But why is he here?
It made him quite puzzled!
"Why is it strange that I, Zhuge Wolong, am here?
In this life, when a person lives in this world, isn't he in another cage?
So what's the difference between here and outside?
Life is just another form of prison! "
Zhuge Wolong said with a smile, speaking very openly.
But Tian Wenliang couldn't understand it.
It seemed that it was another conversation that should have been recorded in a storybook, but the person in charge of this conversation was actually Ning Caichen. Now the person was just changed and became Tian Wenliang.
"Mr. Zhuge is too pessimistic!"
Zhuge Wolong laughed: "Are you pessimistic?
My Zhuge family has an ancestral motto that future generations should be knowledgeable, write books and pass them on to the world, and establish their voice in the world!
So, after a little learning and success, I thought about writing books.
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, so after traveling around the world, I wrote a travel diary of what I saw and heard. Unexpectedly, the government said that I had leaked court secrets!
I had to give up!
I couldn't write a travel note, so I went to look through the pile of old papers to sort out interesting historical facts from ancient times to the present. Unexpectedly, I was caught by the officials and scolded me for trying to use the past to satirize the present!
What can you do!
I had to find another direction. Since I couldn’t write travel notes or historical anecdotes, I would study the art of war and annotate it into a book!
However, on the day I wrote the Art of War, I was arrested by the government and asked whether I wanted to cause turmoil and rebellion in these peaceful years by writing such an accomplished Art of War.
But fortunately, because of his fame, he was spared a beating.
I had to find another direction!
So I collected all kinds of legends and stories about gods and monsters from ancient times to the present to entertain the public. Maybe if I write them well, people will still remember me, Zhuge Wolong, thousands of years later!
But unexpectedly, I was arrested by the government and slapped with a slap in the face, saying that I advocated supernatural beings and strange things, and that I was suspected of leading people to superstition!
There is nothing we can do!
So I thought, if we don’t write history, we don’t write about legends, we don’t write travel notes, and we don’t write about the art of war, let’s just write about celebrities of the day!
That’s okay!
Unexpectedly, this man lost power and was convicted of treason, and I was implicated and sentenced to life imprisonment!
in this way……
What's the difference between me being outside and being in prison?
On the contrary, I am more comfortable in prison, and no one will care about what I, Zhuge Wolong, wrote!
Therefore, I say that life is a prison, and it is no different here than outside.
Not pessimistic!
As I said, Tian Wenliang, the magistrate of a county, may never have the chance to leave this prison in his life!
It’s not pessimistic!
Do you believe it or not? "
If this sentence was said by someone else, Tian Wenliang might not believe it, but it was Zhuge Wolong who said it, and he believed it!
He even believed what Zhuge Wolong said just now. No matter what book the old man writes, there will be people who will block it, because the name of the person who wrote the book is Zhuge Wolong!
The books he wrote have great influence because he is very famous among scholars!
Many people are reluctant to read his books, but that doesn't stop many people from respecting him!
Therefore, Tian Wenliang understood very well why Zhuge Wolong could live a good life after being imprisoned here.
However, Zhuge Wolong's last words directly made his heart sink to the soles of his feet.
"Why did Mr. Zhuge say this?"
Tian Wenliang wanted to struggle before he died, because if he had been imprisoned in a cage, what was the difference between not being able to get out and dying?
Therefore, he wanted to find out the reason why Zhuge Wolong said this?
"Because Zuo Yun, the rebel thief from Guobei County!"
As soon as Zhuge Wolong said these words, Tian Wenliang fell silent instantly, and all the cells outside this cage also fell silent instantly.
But Tian Wenliang came to his senses immediately: "No, I have nothing to do with him!
I was just guilty of oversight. After Zuo Yun surrendered, my master walked around, and the relationship would eventually let me out!
I just made an oversight! "
Tian Wenliang defended desperately, as if the person in front of him was not Zhuge Wolong, but the Shangguan who came to investigate his problem.
"You want to say that you have no personal relationship with Zuo Yun, but you dismissed him from the post of deputy capital chief just after you took office, and you still have some personal grudges about it?
There is no such thing as friendship!
Even asking Zuo Yun to take action several times was nothing more than a money transaction!
Even this time, Zuo Yun was granted the title of Hundred Households, and it was not because of you, but had nothing to do with you!
After all, you are just a small seventh-grade county magistrate, and Baihuguan is above you in rank and has nothing to do with you!
As long as Zuo Yun subdues the law and finds out the truth, you can be released!
Do you think so? "
Tian Wenliang's thoughts were all right, and he couldn't help but asked in astonishment: "Isn't it so?"
Zhuge Wolong sneered: "It seems to be the normal situation!
But you just became an official, and you don’t seem to understand the rules of being an official!
Although you are not responsible for conferring Zuoyun the title of Hundred Households, the person who conferred Zuoyun the title of Hundred Households is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army. Now that the Northern Army is relying on the imperial court to fight against the invading enemies from Mobei, how can you easily offend him?
At most it's just an oversight!
But you are different!
How could the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army know Zuo Yun's name and abilities, all of which was not due to your recommendation by Tian Wenliang?
If Zuo Yunfei succeeds in his career, he will naturally accept your kindness.
But if Zuo Yun conspires to rebel, it seems that Magistrate Tian, who is the recommended person, can be punished by having his whole family executed!
No matter how bad it is, he will still be sentenced to prison!
What do you think? "
Zhuge Wolong's tone was very soft when he said this, but this soft tone directly made everyone in the cell hold their breath and did not dare to breathe, especially Tian Wenliang.
Tian Wenliang spoke with a cry: "How could this be?
That was not recommended by me, but by the Northern Army commander’s own investigation!
What are you doing to me? "
Zhuge Wolong glanced at him sideways: "Of course he is the scapegoat!
Therefore, regardless of whether Zuo Yun surrenders to the law or not, it seems that you, the county minister, will not be able to get out.
In fact, it's good if you can't get out, but if you get out, I'm afraid it won't be a good outcome! "
If you can't get out, the worst possible outcome is life imprisonment, but if there is no good outcome if you get out, and you are the scapegoat, I'm afraid the only option is to be beheaded!
Tian Wenliang understands the meaning of this sentence!
At this time, Zhuge Wolong said again: "What's more, if the imperial court conquers Zuo Yun at this time, it may not be a good outcome!
In fact, this is also an opportunity for you!
The so-called way of heaven never kills the world. At fifty great ways and forty-nine heavenly evolutions, there is still a glimmer of hope left!
Not to mention humanity! "
To be honest, Tian Wenliang was already desperate, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Wolong gasped for air at this time and gave him a glimmer of hope.
Tian Wenliang was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw in the water, and he grabbed it instantly: "Mr. Zhuge, save me. If I, Tian Wenliang, can escape, I will never forget your life-saving grace!" "
Zhuge Wolong chuckled: "Your Majesty, your chance of survival is not with me, but with the traitor Zuo Yun!"
Tian Wenliang couldn't understand what he heard at first, and asked doubtfully: "Although Zuo Yun has learned the fighting skills of his grandfather Zuo Qianjun in the army, he has some ability to deal with strong men and monsters.
But those who came from the imperial court were the general soldiers of an army, at least more than 3,000 people, and as many as more than 10,000!
Moreover, it seems that the imperial court took this matter very seriously, and when the general army arrived, there were urgent reinforcements from all four prefectures and counties.
At this time, although there are not necessarily ten thousand people in Guobei County, there are still seven or eight thousand!
With an army of seven to eight thousand people pressing down on the territory, Zuo Yun would be dead even if he had the ability to reach heaven!
Why do we say that the way to life is at Zuoyun? "
Tian Wenliang doesn’t understand!
At this time, he had no way out in prison, so he asked questions if he didn't understand, and the questions were very straightforward!
At this critical moment of life and death, there is no need for too many twists and turns!
And Zhuge Wolong didn't go around in circles with him, he just said it straight away!
"Do you know why Zuo Yun was labeled a rebel?
A mere rebel with no troops and no food and grass, why would the imperial court mobilize an army of seven or eight thousand to prepare for it?
Do you know why? "
Zhuge Wolong is indeed good at writing books and telling stories, and he also knows how to interact with others when talking about things.
Therefore, Tian Wenliang promptly responded to his question: "Why?"
Zhuge Wolong stopped pretending at this time: "Just because Zuo Yuncheng accidentally revealed his true identity, people noticed that he had great luck!
Looking at how powerful and powerful his fortune is, even my Emperor Liang’s national fortune is far from comparable!
Therefore, his identity is ready to be revealed! "
Even the Emperor of Liang's national destiny was not as good as his own. This...
Tian Wenliang's eyes widened in shock. He wanted to say a word, but it was extremely difficult. It was as if someone had stuffed a hot coal in his throat. He opened his mouth wide and made an ahhh sound, but could not say a complete sentence. Come.
"That's right!
King of men!
Daliang Kingdom is the most populous country in the world. Although the people are not rich, at least compared to other countries, they are relatively decent!
Today, soldiers and horses can still fight.
So when it comes to luck, it is naturally the strongest national luck in the world!
And I, the Emperor of Liang, am responsible for the destiny of the country, so naturally I should be the person with the strongest destiny!
But if someone has destiny many times better than Emperor Liang, then this person must be the destined human king! "
Tian Wenliang couldn't tell, so Zhuge Wolong simply said it for him!
After Zhuge Wolong finished speaking, Tian Wenliang seemed to be out of breath and asked hurriedly: "How is this possible?
How is this possible?
In the past tens of millions of years, the human race has never had a human emperor or a human king!
How is it possible now that a human king will appear in the world again? "
Zhuge Wolong glanced at him with disdain: "Then what do you think the army will do now that they are approaching the border?
Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the human king has not gathered the power of the world and destroy him in his infancy! "
Tian Wenliang was startled. The other cells seemed to be disturbed as well. The heavy breathing sounded like someone was unable to control it. However, Zhuge Wolong turned a blind eye to all this and did not hear it.
Tian Wenliang asked carefully and softly: "You mean that the emperor knew the identity of Zuo Yunren King, so he strangled his future in his infancy before he could grow up!
In this way, the throne of the Emperor of Liang Kingdom will not be threatened? "
Zhuge Wolong smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no! It is not the emperor who wants to strangle the human king in his infancy!
Otherwise, they would not send the Zuo family to Guobei County.
We won't even lock them in the depths of this cell!
Our emperor seems to have other plans! "
…
What is the vocation of the Earth God?
Regulate the earth energy and water channels!
Suppress demons and drive out ghosts (kill ghosts).
Regulating the earth's energy and water veins is generally to ensure that people's crops will be harvested!
But obviously, Chen Yun didn't think so.
He believes that the God of Earth seems to be more effective when used in war, but treating the God of Earth as an ordinary gardener seems a bit overkill!
