Chapter 118 Chaos is approaching

Emperor Ling of Han sighed with all officials, and it turned out that there was such a saying. Emperor Ling of Han asked again: "Futu's teachings were introduced to the Han realm since Emperor Ming, but the monks of Futu often said that after death, they should enter the eighteen levels of hell. "The Book of Rites: Sacrifice" says: 'Everyone must die, and death must return to the land. This is called ghosts.' "Does the Doctrine of the Mean" say: 'Is the virtue of ghosts and gods so strong! Look at it and don't see it, and listen to it and don't hear it.' However, Wang Zhongren's "Lunheng" also said that there are no ghosts in the world...Who Taizhong, does the ghosts between heaven and earth... exist?"

He Bai was stunned. How could he talk about ghosts again? Yes, Emperor Ling of Han was about to die in April of the lunar calendar. Maybe he had some vague sense of it, so he was worried about what happened after his death.

He Bai said: "Ghost is the thing that exists in the world after the human body dies. The mediocre people, ordinary people, die like a lamp, and have no spirit in the world, so there is no ghost. Those who are powerful, virtuous, benevolent and righteous have a strong spirit and are loved by the world. Even though they die, their spirits are indestructible, so many will become ghosts. The hell mentioned by Futu is the place where the spirits are cut by those who are indestructible. Among them, there are many wise people, and those who have no guilt in their hearts do not need to worry too much. Those who have shame in their hearts will not know whether they become ghosts, so why should they care about it?"

Emperor Ling of Han felt sad and asked again: "Are there any gods in the world?"

"The gods and immortals are free and free in the world, but they are empty and empty. They are called gods and immortals, but they are no different from ghosts and monsters, and cannot live with ordinary people. Even if they are immortal, they are lonely and as if they are gone. Moreover, the path of immortals is difficult to find, and even thousands of people cannot cultivate them. Refining medicine and swallowing elixirs, seeking death, and seeking immortals and worshiping gods is even more vain. If you follow Yanhuang, the Five Emperors have great kindness to the world, and can be remembered by the world for generations, and even if they die, they can become the ghost emperor in the world."

Emperor Ling of Han thought for a long time before he accepted and said, "He Taizhong said that it is a true good word, but I am sorry that I didn't hear it early. I sent an order to give He Taizhong 100 kilograms of gold and 500 pieces of silk and silk. Let's stop the court."

Emperor Ling of Han gave too many things and the eunuchs in the palace were sent to He's mansion, so He Bai and all the officials went to court at the same time. As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw He Jin, who was ahead, waiting in a car outside the palace. After seeing He Bai leaving the palace, he immediately waved to summon him.

After He Bai got on the car, He Jin immediately called "Go back to the house". He had nothing to say. As soon as he arrived at the General's Mansion, He Jin called He Bai to a secret room and asked, "Why is the emperor so strange today?"

He Bai sighed: "Today's solar eclipse is a sign that the lord will collapse. The emperor is not surprised at all."

He Jin was shocked and shouted, "Is it just now?" After that, he walked back and forth nervously in the room, and asked for a long time: "The emperor is about to die, what should I do? The emperor will treat me..."

"Yes." He Bai said affirmatively: "But the general's lucky star shines, everything goes well, and there is no need to be deliberately prepared. It's better as usual."

He Jin sighed and then thanked He Bai deeply: "There is a day and clear knowledge of the root cause, and the future will help me, and I feel very at ease." After that, he laughed happily and said with joy, as if after Emperor Ling of Han, the highest power of the Han Empire would be gathered in his own hands.

However, after thinking about it for a month, He Bai has decided that everything will be the same. With He Jin's ability, character and vision, it is impossible to do too much, because the Eastern Han regime has almost become corrupt and will not be truly reborn without a complete bottom-up political revolution.

In the original history, both Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei could have unified the world. However, it is precisely because there are too many heroes that the world cannot be completely unified.

Moreover, due to the historical limitations of these people, even if they unified the country, they would not truly change society and govern the country well. At most, they would still rule the world with the Sima family. They could never completely eliminate the autocratic rule of the aristocratic races, allowing the Yan in front of Wang Xie to completely fly into the homes of ordinary people. How long can such a degenerate country last? Will it be like the Western Jin Dynasty, or will it be destroyed in two lifetimes? How many years will it take to be chaotic afterwards?

You may be able to join someone, assist him and help him change society. However, if you are not good at political struggles, you may not be able to gain the full trust of the politician. You are also afraid that you will die before you can complete the matter. You will fail early in the political struggles, which will also lead to political reform failure. After all, it is still easier to avoid the bright arrows that you can conquer the world than political hidden arrows.

But what will I do in the next few months? My reputation is no longer bad, so I will wait for it to ferment completely. The rest of my time is to practice martial arts and practice the legendary Zhao Yun's gun technique "Hundred Birds Paying Phoenix Swordsmanship" to see how magical it is. Fortunately, in the future, in the troubled times, I will have the ability to protect myself.

In the He Mansion's martial arts performance, Han Rong put on a posture of using a gun and said: "'Hundred Birds Paying Phoenix Spear', as the name suggests, is the gun technique created by referring to the shapes and movements of various birds in the sky. There are a total of 108 styles of gun techniques, of which 72 are spirit birds guarding spear styles; and thirty-six are birds attacking spear styles. When you are proficient, you can simplify the complex and bring the whole birds together to form the final killing spear-killing move "Fire Phoenix Lights"."

"The 'Hundred Birds' Shooting Phoenix' is different from the whip method practiced by the lord. The force used is not its own strength, but uses the special breathing method to feel various changes in the outside world. Just like various birds, you can follow the change of the wind direction and stab the gun with your needs. This is to combine your mind with your mind, with your mind with your body, and with your body with your mind, with your body with your gun. Only in this way can the enemy be unable to defend and stab the enemy under the horse."

Han Rong's commentary on gun technique gave He Bai a feeling of being in the martial arts world. When Brother Dian Wei taught martial arts, he initially focused on bodybuilding, training, body coordination and tenacity, and finally a straightforward attack and killing method. It is not much different from the martial arts methods of ordinary generals. However, what Han Rong taught was the breathing method and feeling the changes and wind directions of the outside world, and the moves were the same as Xingyiquan in later generations.

If breathing is to practice internal strength, feeling the changes and wind direction in the outside world is to use internal strength to perceive various airflows in the outside world, and use the changes of various airflows to spread their wings and fly like a bird, instead of using brute force to fight with people. Isn’t this a bit similar to leveraging force to fight with others?

Watch the gun move again, one style "Flying Yan Lingbo" looked at the assassination of the enemy in front, but it was a false move, turning around and defending itself. The other style "Shocking the birds flying" was a fast firing of the spear tip, and the assassination movement of starlight was seen, forcing the enemy to defend itself, but in fact it was mostly a false move and was completely powerless.

One style "Flying Eagle Pounces Rabbit" seems to be fierce, but it does not fire. When the enemy mistakenly thinks it is for intimidation and is ready to counterattack, the spear suddenly stabs out from top to bottom and kills it with one blow. One style "Osprey" is pressed down, and the spear handle is placed under the legs, and the spear head is facing up, making the enemy mistakenly think it is also a guardian, but it is like an osprey entering the water, like an arrow that takes off the string, assassinating the enemy from bottom to top.

This "Hundred Birds' Shooting Swordsman" looks fast and fierce, most of them are guarding moves; if they look slow but not fired, or slow and weak, most of them are attacking moves. This is a bit of a different feeling. When Han Rong looked at him and taught various bird-like guns, He Bai felt very awkward. Can such a stern look be called a flying bird?

He Bai didn't know much about the "Hundred Birds' Shooting Phoenix" at this time, so he could only carefully follow the comparisons taught by Han Rong. He learned six guard moves and three attack moves every day, and studied them for a total of twelve days. In the next 18 days, he would strengthen his proficiency in practicing marksmanship and understand the essence of marksmanship by himself.

During the period when He Bai was practicing marksmanship, Emperor Ling of Han suddenly died for no reason in the Yongle Palace of Empress Dowager Dong's Jiade Hall. The speed of time made the imperial physician unable to save him. At that time, only Jian Shuo was present. Jian Shuo, who received the will of Emperor Ling, concealed the news of Emperor Ling's death and falsely sent a command to He enter the palace to discuss matters. He also ordered Sima Pan Yin under his command to lead troops to ambush on both sides of the palace gate, preparing to ambush He Jin.

However, Sima Pan Yin had an old friendship with He Jin, thinking that the ambushing General He Jin at the entrance of the palace was not in line with the court's law and was determined not to be ordered by the emperor. So he refused to obey the order and hinted that He Jin would leave quickly. He Jin had received He Bai's reminder from him, not knowing what happened in the palace, so he quickly retreated to the general's mansion and summoned all close ministers to discuss.

After He Bai and others went, Pan Yin arrived again and said, "The emperor has passed away. Now Jian Shuo's secret has not made a mourning statement. He forged an edict to announce that He Guojiu entered the palace, and wanted to stop the future troubles and appointed the prince Xie as the emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, an internal envoy came, Xuan Hejin quickly entered the palace to discuss matters. Cao Cao said, "Today's plan is to first correct the throne, and then to seek the thief."

He Jinjin slapped the table and shouted, "Who dares to fight against the thief with me?"

Yuan Shao stood up and shouted, "I hope to borrow 5,000 elite soldiers to cut the pass and enter the country, enthrone the new king, kill all eunuchs, and wipe out the court to peace in the world!"

He Bai stopped anxiously and said, "What Meng De said is very much. When the emperor dies, the eunuchs have no support and cannot leverage the emperor's orders, and they can no longer do anything. The palace is secretly mourning, and the fault lies in the eunuchs. Why should the general be so impatient and not afraid of disturbing the emperor's undead? Although the general has military power, Jian Shuo also has thousands of troops in Xiyuan. If he attacks the palace, what is the difference between general and Dou Wu? It is a rebellious act."

He Jin hesitated and said, "The unknown plan will be released?"

"To respond to all changes, he said he was sick in the palace and saw what the officials wanted? At the same time, he sent troops to block the palace gates and paths. Sima Pan Yin entered the palace to stabilize the troops and the troops of the superior army to prevent Jian Shuo from leading the troops from jumping over the wall. He then summoned all officials to discuss the matter with the government and jointly planned the prince to make a decision. He also told the palace that Empress He in the palace had him in charge. The officials were like birds in a cage and could not make big waves at all."

He Jin was already afraid of the imperial power, but now hesitated even more when He Bai said that he had been even more hesitant. In addition, He Bai had already calculated that the emperor was about to collapse, and now it has come true, so He Jin had to believe He Bai more. So he used the excuse of not going to the palace to avoid going to the palace with illness, and ordered the Sima of the General's Mansion, Wu Kuang, Zhang Zhang and others to lead troops to block the palace gate, not to be internal and external traffic.

When all the officials heard this, they were shocked and doubted, and they didn't know what happened. He Jin sent an envoy to tell the emperor about his death. If Jian Shuo secretly did not die, there would be a treacherous plan. He also summoned all the officials to discuss matters in the general's mansion and jointly decided to decide that the eldest son of Emperor Ling of Han would be distinguished to inherit the throne.

All the officials were extremely angry with the ten eunuchs who were in power, so how could they not respond? If the emperor really died, he would support the prince to be the emperor. Even if he was a minister close to the officials, he would have no choice but to see that the emperor had collapsed and the situation was hopeless.
