"Publicize the prophecies of troubled times!" Meton said without hesitation.
"Publicize the prophecies of troubled times!" The officials were shocked. Everyone avoided the prophecies of troubled times, but Mo Jiazi actually did the opposite and publicized the prophecies of troubled times.
"Nonsense. As the saying goes, rumors stop with the wise. The prophecies of the Yin-Yang School of Yin-Yang are false. They will disappear on their own soon. If the prophecies of the Yin-Yang School of Yin-Yang are made public, wouldn't it make all the foolish people in the world believe in the prophecies of the Yin-Yang School of Yin-Yang?" Yu Zhining refuted.
Meton smiled bitterly and said, "Rumors stop at the wise. That's the rule of inaction. The prophecies of troubled times of the Yellow Turban Army probably thought that the rumors stopped at the wise. In the end, it became more and more serious and led to a disaster. Not long ago, the School of Mo faced the prophecies of a prosperous era and did the opposite. They publicized the prophecies of a prosperous era in the Mo Journal and luckily defeated the Yin-yang school. "
Li Shimin couldn't help but hesitate. According to his past experience, this kind of thing could only be investigated secretly. However, Meton's method was the opposite and had succeeded once.
"You mean to publicize the prophecies of troubled times?" Li Shimin frowned.
"Yes, the Minister used the Mo Journal to publicly reprimand the Yin-yang school's conspiracy and listed the evidence of the Yin-yang school using the prophecies of troubled times to bring disaster to the world. This is to prevent the world from blindly believing the prophecies of troubled times." Meton nodded.
"Will this work?" The officials were doubtful.
Meton said confidently, "Of course it will work. The Yin-yang school's prophecies are based on conspiracy and rumors. In the beginning, the School of Mo was also afraid of the prophecies. However, Mo Jiazi chose to face it head-on and publicly respond to the prophecies. Only then did he realize that the Yin-yang school was just a paper tiger. Do you really think that the Tang dynasty will die for three generations and be replaced by an empress?"
"The Tang dynasty's golden age is imminent. How can it die for three generations? Fine, today I will personally meet the Yin-yang school and see what tricks they have up their sleeves. "Li Shimin's heroic spirit was aroused as he slammed the table and stood up.
Now that they had no way of retaliating against the School of Yin-Yang, publicly refuting the prophecy of a chaotic world might not be a bad idea.
"The Minister of Foreign Affairs will also order the Confucian journals to write articles to refute the prophecies of troubled times." Yu Zhining saw that Li Shimin had made up his mind, so he could only agree.
Li Shimin nodded. Both the Confucian and Mohist journals had branches all over the Tang dynasty. One focused on the upper class while the other focused on the lower class. The two journals simultaneously counterattacked the School of Yin-Yang, which was equivalent to the Confucian and School of Mohism working together. Was there any fear that they would not be able to defeat the School of Yin-Yang?
Meton continued, "Secondly, although the Yin-Yang school is in hiding, it's not like we don't have a way to directly attack them."
Li Shimin was pleasantly surprised. "The School of Mohism has a way to find the hiding place of the School of Yin-Yang."
Meton shook his head and said, "Although the disciples of the School of Yin-Yang are in hiding, their teachings have been passed down to the world. The School of Yin-Yang brings disaster to the world, but the School of Yin-Yang is a priceless treasure. In the opinion of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, why don't we have the other schools dismember the School of Yin-Yang and destroy the School of Yin-Yang's luck?"
"Dismember the School of Yin-Yang and destroy the luck of the School of Yin-Yang? Didn't the School of Mohism say that they don't believe in luck?" Everyone stared at Meton and asked in confusion.
Meton spread his hands and said, "The School of Mohism doesn't believe in luck, but the School of Yin-Yang does! If the other schools dismember the School of Yin-Yang, the School of Yin-Yang will see it as shaking the foundation of the School of Yin-Yang. The so-called luck of the School of Yin-Yang will also dissipate. This will be an even greater blow to the School of Yin-Yang. Moreover, once the School of Yin-Yang's teachings are integrated by the other schools, the School of Yin-Yang will definitely weaken and will no longer be able to harm the world. "
"Dismember the School of Yin-Yang? But it's still the School of Yin-Yang from the ancient times! "The ministers found it hard to accept.
Meton acted as if he didn't see the gazes of the people and said ruthlessly, "The School of Yin-Yang is indeed the School of Yin-Yang from the ancient times. Unfortunately, the School of Yin-Yang took the wrong path. Different schools of thought lead to the same destination. The Picture of Yin-Yang is shared by the School of Taoism and the School of Yin-Yang. The Picture of Yin-Yang was created by the Minister, so it's reasonable for the Minister to give the Picture of Yin-Yang to the School of Taoism."
Li Chunfeng immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Merton, for your gift."
Meton publicly gave the Picture of Yin-Yang to the School of Taoism so that people wouldn't gossip about it in the future.
"Now that the School of Taoism has the Picture of Yin-Yang, it's a good opportunity to integrate the School of Yin-Yang into the School of Yin-Yang. The School of Five Elements and the School of Medicine have the same origin. According to the historical records, the School of Medicine started much earlier than the School of Yin-Yang. The School of Five Elements should belong to the School of Medicine." Meton dissected the School of Five Elements again.
"The School of Medicine!" Everyone nodded silently. The School of Medicine's medical books were based on the School of Yin-Yang and the School of Five Elements. Starting from the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor, the School of Medicine was probably the most orthodox school of the School of Five Elements.
"As for the School of Carrying Heaven's Will that was created by the previous Yin-yang Zi, the Minister believes that there is no one more suitable than the royal family to carry out the School of Carrying Heaven's Will." Meton cupped his hands towards Li Shimin.
"Carrying Heaven's Will!"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up. He was quite satisfied with this explanation. He was born to carry Heaven's Will. This was the perfect explanation for his actions of killing his brothers and imprisoning his father. The throne should have been his.
"What about the School of Mohism? Didn't they think of taking a share of the School of Yin-Yang?" Yu Zhining sneered. He didn't believe that Mo Jiazi didn't have any selfish motives for dissecting the School of Yin-Yang.
Meton didn't hide anything and said, "To be honest, the Art of Contradiction that I created absorbed the essence of the School of Yin-Yang and the School of Mohism. It was only because of this that I was able to beat the previous Yin-yang Zi.
Yu Zhining immediately felt sour. The other schools had all benefited, but the School of Confucianism had nothing.
"Good! In that case, there's only one method. " Li Shimin inwardly nodded. Publicly refuting the prophecy of the School of Yin-Yang would not only prevent the people from blindly following it, but dissecting the School of Yin-Yang would also directly shake the School of Yin-Yang's fortune. This was simply killing people.
"The School of Yin-Yang chose the wrong opponent to provoke Meton. These two moves will be enough for the School of Yin-Yang to suffer," the ministers all sighed.
No one had expected that the School of Yin-Yang's prophecy of the School of Yin-Yang would be able to deal with it so easily. As expected of Mo Jiazi. Since he had defeated the previous Yin-yang Zi, he could still beat the second Yin-yang Zi.
"Everyone, let's drink to victory!" Li Shimin was in a great mood, and raised his cup again.
Soon, the Taiji Palace was once again filled with cheers and laughter. Li Shimin was extremely fond of drinking, so he also lowered himself and drank with the ministers. When he was drunk, he actually lowered himself and made an agreement with the ministers. Whoever lost would have to say their childhood name.
Unfortunately, the Hundred Cavalry Commander Li Junxian was the first to fall for this trick. Li Junxian shyly said his childhood name.
"Fifth Lady!"
Li Shimin was stunned, and then he laughed loudly. "Is there a woman as strong as you in the world?"
The ministers immediately roared with laughter. However, the eyes of those who were observant flashed, and they couldn't help but think of the Female Protagonist Chang that they had just discussed.
Meton was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't help but think of Li Junxian's tragic end in the future. His mind spun rapidly, and he had an idea. He walked over to Li Junxian's side and clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Why did Merton do this?" Li Junxian was puzzled.
Everyone looked at Meton in confusion, and they didn't understand Meton's intention.
Meton smiled and said, "General Li's childhood name is Fifth Lady, and your fief is Wulian Commandery Duke. Your official position is Zuo Wuwei General, and you guard the Xuanwu Gate. Both have the word" Wu "in them, which is a perfect fit for the prophecy of troubled times."
Everyone was stunned, and they thought back to the prophecy of troubled times. No one thought that it would be so consistent. They were just refuting the prophecy of troubled times, and now there was a perfect person in front of them.
"I …" Li Junxian suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning. He didn't think that he would become the suspect of the prophecy of troubled times because of his childhood name. Moreover, he couldn't defend himself.
"Didn't Merton say that he didn't believe in the prophecy of troubled times?" Wei Zheng spoke up to help Li Junxian out.
In order to save face, Li Shimin also refuted, "Don't talk nonsense. Minister Li is loyal and devoted to me. How could he be a traitor?"
Moton explained, "Your humble servant naturally knows that General Li is a loyal man. However, this is the frightening thing about prophecies. They can be so far-fetched that they can cling onto people who are similar to them, making it impossible to refute."
Li Junxian let out a heavy sigh of relief. However, before he could be happy for too long, he heard Meton's words change.
"Since prophecies are far-fetched, why don't we take the initiative to use a loyal person to create the illusion of the female lead King Wu, and use it to draw out the School of Yin-Yang?"
"Draw out the School of Yin-Yang?"
Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but light up. He suddenly stared at Li Junxian. Currently, there was no one more suitable than Li Junxian to be the female lead King Wu.
"Minister Li, are you willing to accept this mission?" Li Shimin asked solemnly.
Li Junxian knelt without hesitation and said, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty with my life."
"The School of Yin-Yang is popular in Hua Province. There must be a School of Yin-Yang hiding here," Li Chunfeng added. Now that the School of Taoism had taken over the Tai Chi Yin Yang Diagram, they naturally didn't want the School of Yin-Yang to grow stronger.
"Good! In a few days, you will be appointed as the Provincial Governor of Hua Province. You will be responsible for drawing out the hidden School of Yin-Yang, "Li Shimin said decisively.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Li Junxian said solemnly.
"Also, what happened today will be classified as a secret. Do not leak anything," Li Shimin looked at the ministers and warned.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers responded.
Meton let out a sigh of relief. In history, the biggest victim of prophecies in troubled times was Li Junxian. Today, he found a way out for Li Junxian and made up for the regret in history.
