Chapter 647
"And everything in the world is not set in stone, everything is constantly evolving and changing on its own, although sometimes these evolutions are not visible at all." Li Linfei opened his mouth to discuss more of Marx's philosophy with Zheng, only to see an impatient expression on his face.
"Speak humanly!" As expected, Zheng interrupted Li Linfei's words in a very domineering manner.
Li Linfei said, "What does Brother Zheng think the Fa family will become in the future?"
"The Fa family changes?" Brother Zheng frowned at his words, not knowing what Li Linfei wanted to say.
"Yes Legalism changes, don't you see that from Shang Yang to Li Si and Han Fei, the thinking of Legalism has changed a lot?" Li Linfei said.
In fact, he did not know what the changes were, but they were definitely different, and not a person how could they be exactly the same, even if it was the same person, the ideas would be different at different stages.
As expected, Zheng began to ponder after hearing Li Linfei's words, he was a hardcore fan of Shang Yang, Li Si was his right hand man and Han Fei was someone he admired, all three representatives of the Legalists he was familiar with.
But after hearing Li Linfei say so, and pondering over it himself, it seemed to make sense, but he soon opened his tiger eyes wide.
Then his eyes burned as he glared at Li Linfei: "I am curious, what can the Daoists gain by provoking the relationship between the Qin and the Legalists? Your Heavenly Clan does not seem to be involved in politics philosophically, does it?"
Li Linfei sweatdropped, so Zheng was suspecting that he was stirring up trouble! But he was tempted to say, "Is this sowing discord?
Well! It was indeed sowing discord, but the current legalism was indeed problematic, with people's noses and ears being cut off at every turn, and the breaking of the law being punished by guilt by association, which gave the nobles of the six countries a slogan to incite the people to revolt! Tyrannical Qin! Tyranny! Indeed!
The servitude of the Qin dynasty was heavy, but the servitude of those warring states might not be lighter than it was, such was the age.
"The Taoist Heavenly Clan does get nothing! It can be said that there is no benefit at all, all we want is a stable environment where we can spread our ideas, there is competition to make progress."
"If the Dharma family is to serve the Empire better, they need to keep progressing." Li Linfei quietly patted Zheng's dragon butt.
For the spread of Taoist thought, Zheng was still okay with it, it was not contradictory to Legalism in general, and according to the tenets of the Heavenly Clan to stay out of politics, he could turn a blind eye to it.
Li Linfei's words had merit, the emperor also preached the way of balance, he promoted the idea of Legalism, but what if his descendants were weak and the Legalists of that generation had evil intentions?
And the Moists, Confucians, and peasants, in many ideas there was no problem, it was just the people who mastered them that were very problematic, and at this point Zheng was silent.
"The current code of conduct of the law is also a little too harsh, randomly committing a small crime will have to cut this and that, the people are very easy to rise public grievances, if you change a little, the punishment is slightly relaxed, adding labor reformation such, and will be related to the crime all specific, still maintain a law to follow or something." Although he did not study law, this did not prevent him from fooling Brother Zheng, the laws of the latter were much more sound and democratic than now.
In Li Linfei's view, as long as the Constitution included the penalty of death for those who worship foreigners, it would be sound.
The government has been listening to Li Linfei's rhetoric about legalism for a long time, and he was frozen, yes frozen, although some of Song Yichen's comments were not suitable for the current situation, but there were many merits.
It could fill in the gaps in Qin's laws! Damn you, is this still a Taoist? Are you sure you're not a Legalist?
If you don't study the doctrine of the law, you're too talented. Thinking about the last admonition, if Li Linfei were to become an official and curb his character, he would definitely be a prime minister! The political brother's heart was racing with millions of grass mud horses.
When Li Linfei finished his speech, he knew he had said too much when he saw Zheng's dumbfounded face, but for the good of Zheng, for the good of Fusu, and for the good of the people of this world, he thought it was worth it.
"I have to think about what you have said, so go on to your request." Brother Zheng continued.
Only then did Li Linfei remember that he was now negotiating terms with Brother Zheng! So he continued, "The Taoist family will establish a Taoist temple of this kind to promote doctrines afterwards, I hope the Empire will not stand in the way."
This was something that had been agreed upon when they were working together, so without even thinking about it, Brother Zheng agreed.
"Thirdly, spare the lives of some prisoners, but of course you can send someone to keep them under guard." Li Linfei's third request was to save the life of Takayuki Tianming.
"Yes." He knew that Li Linfei wanted to save the life of someone, which proved that Li Linfei was very humane, such a person was more suitable to get along with, and likewise gave himself another reason.
In fact, he loved Tianming in his heart and had always treated him as his own son. The woman he loved most in his heart was also Tianming's mother, Li Ji, and now that he and Tianming were on the opposite path, he had to be ruthless for the sake of the empire.
Now that Li Linfei had given him a reason to keep Tianming alive, he was naturally happy to go along with it.
Chapter 648
Seeing that Li Linfei didn't continue, Zheng asked indifferently, "Finished?"
"Finished!" Li Linfei was depressed, what else could he say? He could grab whatever he wanted! What could Brother Zheng give himself?
"Well then, I heard that you like to collect things, both the agricultural and ink schools and the Confucian schools have a lot of famous swords, when the time comes, you can just take them yourself if you see them, no need to report to me." The requirements were actually nothing in his opinion, but he quickly gave Li Linfei a reward automatically.
Li Linfei bristled, even if you didn't give it to me, I'd grab it if I saw it myself!
But he didn't say it out loud, he just expressed his feelings.
After Li Linfei returned from the palace, he called all of Xiaomeng as well as Princess Yan Yan over.
"The Yin Yang family has put a curse seal on Brother Zheng." Li Linfei said to the two women.
Both women were stunned, but their expressions soon returned to normal, according to the Yin Yang Family's urine this kind of thing was really done.
"That should be done by Yun Zhong Jun Xu Fu, Dong Huang Tai Yi once had him cure Ying Zheng's stubborn disease of migraine, so he is highly valued by him, the spell seal usually has to be placed close to the body, and he is the only one in the Yin Yang family who has this opportunity."
The only one who has the chance to do so is the Yin Yang family." Princess Yan's knowledge of Yin Yang magic and spell seals was the deepest in the world, except for Dong Huang Tai Yi, and she quickly deduced who had cast the spell.
"I suspected as much, and this time Brother Zheng asked me to help against the Yin-Yang Clan as well as the other forces." Li Linfei gave a general account of his conversation with Brother Zheng.
"Thank you!" Hearing Li Linfei's words, Consort Yan said gratefully, how could she not be touched by the fact that he had saved her daughter's life by doing this?
Because of the relationship between Yan Dan and the Mo family, Gao Yue was bound to stand against Ying Zheng, Li Lin Fei had won a promise to keep Gao Yue alive, as a mother how could she not be grateful to him.
Li Linfei shook his head gently and said, "A trivial matter, I just don't know how Brother Zheng will plan it."
"What exactly is the secret of the Seven Pillars of the Canglong! That box can't even be opened by you." Xiaomeng was rather curious about the secret of the Seven Pillars of the Canglong.
"I think it has something to do with the Zhou royal family, the Illusionary Sound Treasure Box is one of the important instruments to solve the mystery of the Seven Pillars of the Canglong, originally a precious treasure of the Yin Yang family, but somehow it appeared in the Mo family's forbidden place, the Dragon's Throat, and now it has also come into the hands of the Yin Yang family."
"I'm not too sure about the rest, the information that used to circulate in the Yin Yang family was similar to what Ying Zheng said, so maybe I know a bit more now, but I've long been imprisoned and don't know much about it."
"But one thing is certain, Yue'er is indeed the key to unlocking the Seven Pillars of the Canglong, and she is even more talented than me in Yin-Yang techniques." Consort Yan said.
"Gao Yue should have to pay a certain price if she wants to unlock the Seven Pillars of the Cang Dragon, right?" Li Linfei asked.
He remembered that it was said in the animation that it was an extremely dangerous process.
"Indeed, I have seen Yue use the Illusionary Sound Treasure Box when I was imprisoned, and it was at the cost of draining her life force." Consort Yan said.
"Life force?" Li Linfei muttered, it seemed that he would have to think of another way to unlock the Seven Pillars of the Canglong, and at the cost of Gao Yue's life, he wasn't a big villain to do that.
Li Linfei's pensive look could have startled Princess Yan, she thought Li Linfei was trying to do something to Gao Yue, she had a more intuitive understanding of Li Linfei's fighting ability.
Last time, almost all the experts of the Yin Yang Clan except the Moon God and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi surrounded him alone, but they were abused by him, and even their star souls were ruined, so after not seeing him for some time, she felt that Li Lin Fei was even more terrifying than before.
If he were to deal with himself, it might only be a matter of one move. If he were to turn against Gao Yue, then how would he save her! If she could trade her life for it, she would not hesitate to use her own life to save Gao Yue's life.
Li Linfei did not concern himself with the thoughts of the Amazing Concubine: "Could the secret of the Seven Pillars of the Canglong be related to the place where the mirage is going?"
"It's possible, legend has it that there are five mountains on the sea, Daiyu, the highest peak, Fanghu, Yingzhou and Penglai."
"According to Lie Zi - Tang Wen (列子 - 汤問) its mountains are 30,000 miles around in height, their tops are 9,000 miles flat, and the middle of the mountains are 70,000 miles apart, so they are thought to be neighbours, and all the terraces on them are gold and jade, and all the beasts on them are pure onyx."
"The trees of the Ramban grow in knots, and their fruits are all tasty, and all who eat them do not grow old and do not die. The people who live in it are all of the immortal and holy species, and there are countless people who fly to and from it every day and every night. And the roots of the five mountains have no connection with each other, and they often go up and down with the tide."
"The last two mountains drifted away without a trace, leaving only the three mountains of Fang Hu, Ying Zhou and Peng Lai. There is some truth to the secret of the seven celestial dragons being there." Xiaomeng said.
If it was before when Li Linfei heard about what immortal mountains ah! surely he would have thought it was lulling people, but now he knew that many mythological stories did exist, and the Qin Shi Ming Yue world was not ordinary, both the gongfu and weapons here were far from other worlds.
It was just that the heaven and earth aura was not high, causing the cultivation level to be low, and after thinking about it for half a day, Li Linfei gave up.
"Looks like I'll have to ask to see Duke Chu Nan, he definitely has much more information than me." Li Linfei said.
He didn't believe that old man Chu Nan Gong really didn't know anything! This legendary figure was hiding much deeper than what was seen.
"He." Duke Chu Nan's status was very high, his Jianghu seniority was even above Xiao Meng and Xun Zi, it was just that he had chosen to be in the same boat as the Yin Yang Clan these past few years, and they had never remembered him, but they hadn't expected that Li Lin Fei not only knew him, but also seemed to have a good relationship with him.
