To be honest, Ye Feng's words really shocked Ying Hao, because Wu Zetian was so special, because she was the only female emperor in history. In the patriarchal society, the emergence of an empress in China's thousands of years of history

It is an unimaginable thing, but no matter how unimaginable it is, it still happened. For unimaginable things, what smart and rational people have to do is to first admit the facts, and then seek the truth and reasons behind it.

It is a fact that Wu Zetian ascended the throne and was the emperor for only 15 years. But you can tell with your feet how difficult this matter is, so the only way to eliminate the difficulty is to kill, and everyone who can be called resistance will die.

If so, there will be no resistance. The reason why killing is the only way is because the biggest obstacle to preventing Wu Zetian from becoming the queen is the thought that men are superior to women for thousands of years. You must know that changing a person's mind is almost a task.

It is impossible, and changing most of the thoughts and cognitions is simply a fantasy. Then the only way is to kill, which is the simplest and fastest, and to use the fear of death to force other people's thoughts to surrender. This is almost the only truth.

Therefore, judging from this fact itself, Wu Zetian cannot be a wise king, at least at the level of a tyrant. Whether Empress Wu is really a wise king or not, Ying Hao cannot distinguish the truth from Ye Feng's words, but she is definitely not a wise king.

He also agreed. He vaguely agreed with Ye Feng's explanation of the historical facts. What's more, what Ye Feng said this time was all facts, without any lies.

Anyone with some brains can react to this instinctively, and Ying Hao is one of them. But he can only feel it instinctively, and is not as clear and detailed as Ye Feng. After all, he is busy with strategizing, so there is no spare time.

Ye Feng has the time to travel in the ocean of knowledge. But even if you know that the lie that Wu Zetian is a wise emperor has been deliberately packaged and publicized for too long, it is enough to shock people at first hearing that she is a wise emperor.

Ying Hao, who recovered from his dazed state, finally realized the power of Ye Feng's words and clearly received what Ye Feng wanted to express. The queen gave way, but the condition was that she must treat the people well. The same was true for Ye Feng in front of her.

attitude. The reason why I emphasize the word "adult" is because adults will not care about children, so this is a promise. Ye Feng and the Queen will not take the initiative to conflict with themselves because of the abdication of the throne. But the word "adult"

It is also a threat, because if a child misbehaves, adults will spank the child to teach him a lesson. In other words, if Ying Hao goes too far, the man named Ye Feng in front of him will take action against him, but he will not kill him.

Himself. After all, which adult is perverted enough to be so neurotic and serious that he would kill a child?

Although he was unhappy about being threatened, the result was not bad. Although the other party did not follow his own ideas and abdicate the throne by marrying the queen and getting her pregnant, the result was the same. As for the virtue of a wise king,

He doesn't care either. Lies and disguises are the foundation of the emperor's art. Although you may say that a lie is still a lie after all, but you must know that if a lie can persist for a lifetime, it will no longer be a lie.

So Ying Hao also smiled and toasted: "If it weren't for our different positions, I think King Ye and I would get along very well."

Ye Feng said calmly: "Even if our positions are different, the relationship between the two parties is by no means antagonistic, right? As for the relationship, I think even if we have the same position, the relationship between you and I will definitely not be very good."

Ying Hao was also stunned, and after a moment he smiled and said: "Indeed."

Aunt Xindao's eyesight on people is indeed extraordinary.

As he spoke, Ying Hao said to the dandies below: "Everyone toasts to King Ye."

And everyone in the audience immediately stood up and toasted. On the one hand, this was the order of the second prince Ying Hao, and on the other hand, I admired this kind of person. Even if some things are true, the courage to tell the truth is not ordinary people.

Anyone can have it, even if it is a fact. Otherwise, where did the previous literary prison come from? Although Ye Feng's offensive just now was only verbal, it was no weaker than the two armies confronting each other on the battlefield.

Even Yue Gou, who had always avoided drinking, picked up the wine glass and toasted Ye Feng. Although the glass was just juice. Even if the person in front of him was not the White Dragon King, he was still an amazing person like the White Dragon King who would not live under others for a long time. It was worth it.

Have a toast yourself.

After the toast was over and everyone was seated, Ying Hao said: "King Ye almost belittled Empress Wu, the Empress, and me all just now. It would be better to simply demote them completely. Today, in Yong'an, the capital of the Qin State, there are still broken houses with leaking tiles and clothes.

It is conceivable that there are a large number of poor people without covering their bodies. It is conceivable that other places in Qin State have ten houses and nine empty houses. The people are in dire straits and starve to death everywhere. This is a fact. I wonder what King Ye has to say?"

Ye Feng looked at Ying Hao and said, "Want some advice?"

Ying Hao said calmly: "Please teach me, isn't this what you promised my aunt to do?"

Ye Feng thought for a while and said: "That's right. In fact, the sage has long told us the way to ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people: if you are poor, you can be good for yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world. This is a quote from the "Zhang Jushu" in "Mencius".

"No one wants to be poor. For this reason, the poor work hard and take care of themselves. They farm their fields, work well with their tools, do business, and learn to read. However, except for a few scholars who can gain fame through the imperial examination, agriculture, industry, and commerce are still in hardship.

Is it because they are lazy? No, it's because today's prosperous people are more afraid of poverty than the poor. They are unwilling to allow the opportunity of development to be given to the poor to help the world. They regard poverty as a shame. They have also witnessed

Many dignitaries were defeated in intrigues and became poor. Therefore, the masters will spare no effort to oppress the poor and accumulate wealth in order to develop permanently and benefit their descendants. In the eyes of today's masters, today's world

It’s just the immediate wealth and status.

"As the saying goes, what goes up is what works down. The poor see that the wise are like this, so they can only find other ways to get prosperous. Farmers abandon their fields and do not cultivate, and become bandits; workers abandon their tools and do not use them, get drunk and gamble; merchants abandon their trade and do not trade, and they are flatterers.

Lending money; abandoning what you have learned and not doing it, speculating.

Therefore, the poor no longer care for themselves, and are unwilling to help the world. There are even hypocrites who cover their ears and steal the bells, whitewashing the peace. In this way, how can the country be peaceful and the people are peaceful? The ancient teachings of the saints are not wrong, but we, the unscrupulous descendants, are incompetent. And what Your Highness has to do is,

On the basis of living the lives of the poor, give them hope and opportunities for development, just like Shang Yang's reform in the pre-Qin Dynasty. In this way, the country is still not peaceful and the people are still uneasy, and there is no such thing."
