Chapter 376: Meet Mr. Gu! (10,000 words updated!)

The voice was not loud, nor was it high.

But in the hall which was particularly quiet due to the quarrel, it was particularly clear.

During the argument between Shang and Emperor Qizhi, even the martial arts master Wei Da Sima could only remain silent and dared not interrupt.

The two are like a lion in his twilight years and a tiger in its prime!

Shang was Xun Ke's disciple and the leader of the Legalists. He inherited the will of his predecessors and was surrounded by countless disciples. He held an important or even unique position in the court, and his contributions far exceeded those of others.

At present, at least 90% of the laws of the entire Xia Dynasty are related to him - the remaining 10% was still customized by Confucianists.

It is no exaggeration to say that after Wang Mang, during the reign of Emperor Chengping, Shang was established within the Xia Dynasty, laying a foundation for the Xia Dynasty to last for more than a thousand years.

When it comes to preventing problems before they happen, no one can do better than business.

His name was like a law in the Xia Dynasty! Even as the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, Emperor Qizhi had to be respectful in front of him.

But Emperor Qizhi also had something to say.

No matter how great your contribution to the Xia Dynasty is, no matter how worthy of respect you are, as long as everyone respects and honors you, that's enough.

Why bother forcing each other? ! Since you are already old, you should stop interfering in current affairs.

Isn't it good to enjoy his old age in peace? He just wants to expand the territory, what's wrong with him?

Holding a sentence from more than a hundred years ago as a token, you want the emperor of the Xia Dynasty to bow down? Why? The Xia Dynasty is now so powerful, and for the future of the Xia Dynasty, someone should bear the blame.

The founding ancestor was called the Holy King, and it could be said that he was spotless.

My father is also a king who maintains the status quo, and he is highly praised by the people.

But for such a grand ambition, there has to be someone to do it, right?

He wanted to set the ambition for every king of the Xia Dynasty from now on!

Unify the world and achieve universal peace!

For the first person, the resistance is bound to be the greatest.

The Mohist doctrine of universal love and non-aggression, the Confucian doctrine of benevolence and morality, and the Legalist doctrine of rules and regulations. As they nurtured the Xia Dynasty from a seedling to a big tree, they also took deep roots within the Xia Dynasty.

Those are all very good things.

But sometimes it is also the biggest obstacle and stubborn problem.

However, there are always people in this world who are eager to achieve great things and leave their names in history.

War does not necessarily mean cholera, but also means power, wealth, status, and even ideals! So what if he has some ambitions? Which emperor in the Xia Dynasty would not have ambitions? As long as the result is good, the process is inevitably bloody - even if it is the Mohist School, when they were in Dayue, were they not a formal government organization?

Hasn't he been labeled a traitor?

But what about now?

When all the dust settles, it will become clear who the real gold is.

Emperor Qizhi had already made up his mind and even secretly instructed Prince Yu to withhold relief food sent to various countries. He had already made sufficient mental preparations.

Be it a tyrant or a foolish ruler.

Even the unfilial son who overturned the governing philosophy of the first two emperors of the Xia Dynasty didn't matter.

He would make the Xia Dynasty stronger than ever before, instead of just defending one place! Shang represented the ideas of the Xia Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, while Emperor Qizhi represented the views of the new generation who grew up in the powerful Xia Dynasty.

The two of them roared and quarreled with each other, arguing about the fate of the Xia Dynasty in the next hundred years and where the Xia Dynasty would go from then on! At this time, the martial arts masters could only step back a little, listening but not daring to speak.

Who was qualified to discuss with them how the Xia Dynasty should go? Could there be someone who knew the Xia Dynasty better than the two of them and could decide where the Xia Dynasty should go?

Therefore, when that slightly unfamiliar voice floated over, it brought people not joy, but unconcealable anger.

Who are you to dare to speak out when these two are arguing about the Xia Dynasty's philosophy? ! Wei Dasima's blood was boiling, and his eyes were cold, "Who are you, you rat? How dare you break into the Xia Dynasty's palace? Show up now!"

"hehe."

A light laugh was heard, and a figure in a black robe walked in from outside. The elite guards who were carefully selected from outside the hall did not move at all, and watched the other party walk towards them.

He came here as if he was strolling in a back garden, relaxed and carefree.

It seemed that this was not the imperial palace of the Xia Dynasty, where the emperor and his ministers discussed state affairs, but an ordinary house.

"I heard someone wanted to see me, so I came."

Gu Dan was not annoyed, but just glanced at Emperor Qizhi with a little curiosity. He did not know this young boy.

When he left the Xia Dynasty, the other party should have been just a small kid.

More than sixty years may sound short, but in the mortal world, it is as if several lifetimes have passed.

The Emperor Chengping has turned to dust, but his children seem to be quite reckless.

"Who do you think you are?"

Sima Wei was furious. This was not treating the martial arts master as a human being!

I wanted to see you, so you came?

What kind of place does this person think the Xia Dynasty Imperial Palace is? This young man in front of him has a very good appearance, but just by looking at his face, he is a little too young. How dare he come to the Xia Dynasty Imperial Palace and speak so brazenly?

Don’t you want to see who’s here? Do you still want to see you?

If any one of them were taken out into the world, he would be enough to make millions of people bow their heads!

They were at the pinnacle of power and strength in the Xia Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that their every word and action could determine the future direction of the Xia Dynasty.

Such a crucial debate, enough to affect the Xia Dynasty for a hundred years, was forced to stop because of the intervention of a young man! Wei Da Sima was furious.

After much difficulty in convincing Emperor Qi Zhi of his ambition, everyone decided to confront the leader of the Legalists. If all previous efforts were to be wasted due to this person's interference, how could he leave his name in history!

But when he was filled with rage, Shang Heqi Zhidi was like a sculpture, completely frozen in place.

Their eyes fell on Gu Dan, especially on his handsome and youthful face, which seemed petrified and motionless.

Ever since he walked in and stepped into the hall, the two of them seemed to have stopped breathing completely.

Only Wei Da Sima was still angrily denouncing.

It was not until Sima Wei roared again that Shang finally came to his senses.

At some point, those eyes, which were as sharp as a sword unsheathed and powerful enough to make the emperor of the Xia Dynasty avoid its edge, were filled with a moist luster.

Tears couldn't help but fall from his eyes, Shang's lips trembled, thousands of words were stuck in his heart, and the hand holding the crutch trembled like a twisting snake.

“Pah.”

With a slight sound, the crutch fell to the ground.

“Plop.”

There was another sound, and Shang actually knelt down. The old man said in a trembling voice, choking with sobs: "You are back!"

That voice seemed to contain countless emotions, making it difficult to distinguish.

It seemed as if it had spanned more than sixty years, and the relay of several generations had echoed again in the palace of the Xia Dynasty.

Gu Dan walked up to Shang, lifted him up from the ground with both hands, and gently brushed the dust off his body.

"Why do you have to bow down to me? You did a great job. I saw it all when you came."

Gu Dan patted Shang's shoulder gently and spoke with great seriousness.

One is a handsome young man in his prime with long black hair.

One is an old man with wrinkles all over his face.

At this moment, the young man was giving affirmation to the elderly man in the tone of praising the younger generation.

A sincere affirmation.

This time, Shang could no longer control his turbulent emotions. His efforts and persistence over the past sixty years were recognized with the greatest recognition.

There was no longer any sharpness in those eyes, and clear streams of water slid down the piled and dry wrinkles. He sobbed silently, but a sincere smile appeared on his face.

Shang knew that he no longer had to endure his old age and serve as the sword for the Xia Dynasty.

Because the Xia Dynasty's sharpest sword and strongest shield have returned.

He can cry loudly like an ordinary person, laugh and scold like anyone else, without having to worry about whether it will cause any bad influence - because there are elders watching them and can support them.

It was not until this time that Emperor Qizhi, who had been standing there in a daze for a long time, finally came to his senses.

Seeing Shang, who was so excited that he couldn't speak, this god of death in the temple who was always rude and didn't give any face to the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, known as the Iron-faced Judge and Shura-like figure, showing that expression, Emperor Qizhi's legs suddenly felt a little weak.

For some reason, my body became out of control and I became a lot shorter.

I couldn't help but slide down to my knees.

"You and me."

Emperor Qizhi couldn't even speak complete sentences, let alone call himself "I".

There is a portrait of the Xia Dynasty.

Only the emperor can see it.

It was only after he ascended the throne that he had the opportunity to see it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The person in the portrait cannot be said to be exactly the same as the one in front of me, but it can be said to be almost the same.

Apart from the fact that it is not a green robe, it is difficult to find any difference.

If it was really the man in the portrait, not only would he kneel, but even his father would have to kneel! No, no, no, to be precise, even if it was the founding emperor, the one known as the Holy King, it would be natural for him to kowtow in front of this man.

Just because the Xia Dynasty existed because of the other party.

All the people of the Xia Dynasty should thank him. Even though he did not like to show up in public, his achievements were deeply imprinted in the Xia Dynasty, and no one could compare with him.

Adding one more piece won't work.

But - but, that was more than a hundred years ago! Now it is the 133rd year of the Xia Dynasty.

Even the emperor changed three times.

It has been more than sixty years since the other party left, and not even a single letter has been sent back during this period.

In addition, he heard from his father that when the other party left, his hair was clearly full of white.

No matter how powerful he was in the past, he was able to intimidate neighboring countries with his own strength so that they dared not act rashly, and even sent large sums of compensation to the Xia Dynasty, making him invincible.

After so many years, it's time for him to be defeated by time.

It is not difficult for heroes to emerge.

The real difficulty is how to keep it going.

The older generation has now either left or passed away, becoming a mottled corner of time, with their traces faded away, and only their influence continues on this land.

But now in the entire Xia Dynasty, there are only a few people who know about the other party's existence.

It is not an exaggeration to say that, given how low-key he was, even if one searches the entire Xia Dynasty, there are only two people who know of his existence, including Emperor Qizhi, who knew about his existence but had never seen him in person.

In Emperor Qizhi's mind, the other party was most likely no longer alive.

Therefore, it’s okay to be a little disobedient.

I did it, so what?

Even if there really is a Yellow Spring, he would still have something to say when he sees his father and grandfather.

As the saying goes, "When a general is on a field trip, he is not always subject to military orders." Although this sentence was said by the general to the emperor, that is the meaning.

People who lived more than a hundred years ago, don’t worry about the present world! For this reason, he did not hesitate to violate the ancestral teachings, and even dared to loudly refute Gu Dan’s remarks after Shang brought them up, with high spirits and fierceness.

He even said something like asking Gu Dan to come find him.

No, I was just saying it, why did you really look for it?

Emperor Qizhi knelt on the ground helplessly, feeling extremely wronged, and said tremblingly: "I am the unworthy descendant of the Xia Xia Dynasty, and I pay my respects to Mr. Gu."

In the end, he chose a name that both his father and grandfather had used.

gentlemen.

The one who is wise comes first, that is the intention of the teacher.

Gu Dan was the master of the entire Xia Dynasty.

Everyone in the Xia Dynasty was his descendant.

Be it a sage or a sage king; be it the emperor of the Xia Dynasty or the leader of the Legalists.

In front of him, there are only children.

The other party single-handedly lifted the Xia Dynasty out of the protracted war, one person supported the founding of the Xia Dynasty, and one person suppressed the four countries to win a chance for the people of the Xia Dynasty to breathe and survive.

When the towering tree of the Xia Dynasty was not even a seedling, he held up the sky of the Xia Dynasty and blocked all wind and rain.

After the task was accomplished, he left.

He lived alone in a small courtyard, neither seeking merit nor leaving a name.

No one could point fingers at the Xia Dynasty in front of him, and no one could judge the direction of the Xia Dynasty in front of him.

In front of him, no one was qualified to stand on the side of the Xia Dynasty and make comments on the affairs of the Xia Dynasty.

Emperor Qizhi didn't even dare to raise his head.

In front of Shang, he can speak eloquently, express all the thoughts in his heart, and even the importance and necessity of making a decision.

Only in front of this person.

Only in front of this person! The emperor of the Xia Dynasty had to listen obediently.

The other party's will is the will of the Xia Dynasty.

No reason needed.

He is standing there, and that is the reason!

In panic and anxiety, a hand was placed on Emperor Qizhi's shoulder and pulled him up from the ground.

"To be an emperor, one must act like an emperor."

Gu Dan didn't scold him for anything, he just spoke calmly.

For a moment, Emperor Qizhi's eyes were filled with tears.

I feel a little ashamed, but more than that, I can't even explain the emotions I'm feeling.

The other party was just like an elder, tolerating the child's temporary mischief.

Before making a big mistake.

Sima Wei looked at this "joyful" scene with a frown on his face.

The emperor of the Xia Dynasty knelt down just because he was told to?! Just based on the man in front of him? On Gu Dan's body, Wei Da Sima could not feel any blood at all, just like an ordinary person.

Why are the leaders of the Legalists and the emperors of the Xia Dynasty so respected!

The most important thing is that because of the other party's interference, it seems that Emperor Qizhi is about to change his mind.

How is this possible?

If he doesn't fight, it will be useless for him, a master, to be the Minister of War. At most, he will leave a name in the history books, and it will be just a name.

I didn't do anything, just took a look and it was over.

This was something he couldn't tolerate.

With his mind racing, Wei Da Sima attacked brazenly. Taking advantage of Gu Dan's effort to grab Emperor Qi Zhi, he shouted angrily, "How dare you, a rogue, pretend to be a sage of the Xia Dynasty? You deserve to die!"

As he spoke, his palm had already reached out towards Gu Dan's chest like a black tiger digging out his heart.
