There are two ways people age, one is related to age, and the other is related to mentality.
According to Yunchu's observation, the open-mindedness, tolerance, calmness, and wisdom expressed by the old people are actually all fake. When he is alone, his heart is actually very anxious.
A person who has good control is a good old man, even a perfect old man in the eyes of children, with countless advantages such as kindness and generosity.
Those who cannot control themselves well will be doomed. Their stingy, mean, irritable, lustful, and unreasonable nature will be completely exposed, making their children's lives miserable.
Li Zhi's condition is more serious. Not only is he older, he is also mentally older, and the symptoms of his condition are even more serious.
However, he finally invited Yunchu to have a meal with him. Of course, there was inevitably a bear on the table.
Having been with Li Zhi for almost twenty years, this bear has very strict etiquette at the dinner table. At least he knows how to push his beloved roast chicken in front of the guest Yun Chu.
Compared with the giant bear, Li Zhi's table manners were abysmal. He later said that the thing he regretted most in his life was marrying Wu Mei as the queen. If he had known that this would be the fate he had now, he should have committed suicide back then.
After a while, he scolded Li Hong for being a wolf cub. When he was little, he was cute and lovable, but who knew it was all disguise. When he grew up, he learned to eat people, and even ate his father, even his heart and lungs.
He scolded Li Yifu, scolded Xu Jingzong, scolded Changsun Wuji, scolded Li Ji, scolded Chu Suiliang, and finally when there was nothing to scold, he followed Lian Yunchu to scold him.
Anyway, these people are all beasts. I treat them with all my heart and soul, but no one appreciates it. They all deserve to die. It's better to be crushed and ashes.
Yunchu ran three hundred miles in one day, and he was so hungry that he only focused on filling his stomach. As for what the emperor said, he turned a deaf ear and only focused on filling his stomach.
"Are you listening to what I'm saying?"
Li Zhi couldn't get a response from Yun Chu, so he was furious and took the hoof from Yun Chu's hand and gave it to the giant bear and said angrily.
Yun Chu opened his glossy mouth and said, "The emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers."
After saying that, he glanced at the frightened giant bear and returned the hoof Li Zhi had given it to Yun Chu.
Li Zhi was so angry that he kicked the giant bear on the butt. The bear squeaked twice and then lay on the ground consciously.
This giant bear was treated more cleanly than a human being by Li Zhi, especially its two claws, which were no different from human hands. Yun Chu took the hoof and took another bite.
"You're cheating, right?"
"No, I'm already a very old official, and I'm not too young. I have a lot of sons and daughters, so I can't do anything wrong."
"It seems like you don't have many complaints about what I did this time?"
"The more people at the top die, the more people at the bottom can make up for it quickly. The more people at the top die, the strength of the nobles will be weakened. This is a top-down linkage.
Your Majesty, when it comes to the cleanup of Chang'an, Chang'an is the one who takes the biggest advantage."
Li Zhi dropped the bone in his hand and said, "How do you say it?"
Yun Chu said: "More than 8,000 people have died, and more than 70% of these 8,000 people are scholars, scholars, officials, and officials. And the scholars we have cultivated in Chang'an over the years can become scholars."
, Officials and officials are only a very small part.
It’s not that their knowledge is incompetent, or that they don’t have the means, it’s just that there are only so many positions, and there’s still one carrot that hasn’t been pulled out, and there are several carrots waiting to fall into the pit next to it.
Now, Your Majesty has pulled out more than 8,000 radishes and chopped down many radishes waiting to be dug into the pit, causing the radish field to become barren. Naturally, the radish field cannot be barren. The radishes must be planted. However, Your Majesty.
I pulled out too many radishes, and there were not that many radishes available for a while..."
"So, the new radish you cultivated in Chang'an can be put into the pit, right?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Since I returned to Chang'an, I have not asked anything about Chang'an's economy. The officials below have begun to complain to me that Chang'an's economic development has come to a standstill. I hope I can come up with a good solution."
Ways to make Chang'an's economy prosper as soon as possible, so that Chang'an can cope with an increasing population.
I am not a god. If Chang'an is so big, a slight increase is almost the tax of a state in the Tang Dynasty. I have some little cleverness. These economic cleverness are placed in a small place like Jinchangfang.
That's a small thing.
Chang'an, Chang'an, if such a large body wants to develop that can be seen with the naked eye, it needs to make big moves in a fundamental sense. I can't do such big moves, only Your Majesty can do it."
Li Zhi said suspiciously: "Are you saying that by killing eight thousand people in Chang'an, not only did I not weaken your control over Chang'an, but I actually helped you?"
Yun Chu threw away the broken bones in his hands and said: "How to make the economy lively? Then there must be liquidity. As long as the economy is flowing, it can benefit many, many people.
To describe this matter in the simplest terms, many people in Chang'an will benefit from His Majesty's action of putting the money from his left pocket into his right pocket.
Not to mention the death of more than 8,000 people, their wealth will naturally not die, but will only start to flow. As long as the money starts to flow, it will have to pass through the Chang'an government gate, and after passing the gate, the government will earn a sum of money.
This is just a corresponding relationship of eating dead people's money.
At the same time, there is also the corresponding relationship of eating money from living people. When more than 8,000 people die, more than 8,000 people will be added. Your Majesty must not underestimate the impact of the flow of more than 8,000 people on wealth.
brought help.
Today, there are only over 6,000 residents in Jinchangfang, but one Jinchangfang’s annual tax contribution to the Tang Dynasty exceeds that of many state capitals, not to mention more than 8,000 people, officials and officials are on the move this time.
, this contribution to Chang'an is much greater than that of Jinchangfang.
Therefore, what your Majesty did in Chang'an this time is equivalent to setting off a huge turmoil in the stagnant water of Chang'an. Next, your Majesty will be able to do a lot of things with the help of the turmoil caused by your Majesty. At least, it can turn around the economy of Chang'an.
A stagnant situation.”
Li Zhi asked doubtfully: "Can killing people also benefit Chang'an's economy?"
Yun Chu said with a smile: "Because the politics of Chang'an are closely related to the economy, this is the essence of Political Economy. It did not survive for Yao, nor was it destroyed for Jie. As long as the foundation of Chang'an is not destroyed, it can absorb the morning dew."
The nectar thrives and can also absorb rotten corpses and mud to take root and sprout. In short, once the pace of progress is started, it will only roll forward."
Li Zhi took a bite of the hoof and thought for a while before saying: "It seems that Chang'an is much stronger than I imagined. Is this what gives you the confidence to demolish the city wall?"
Yun Chu said: "The existence of the city wall is not conducive to the economic development of Chang'an, and the city wall itself represents restraint..."
Li Zhi dropped his hoof and said: "You are all so powerful, where do you put me, the emperor?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Chang'an's greatest confidence comes from Your Majesty, and its strongest foundation also comes from Your Majesty. If His Majesty lives in the Daming Palace, it will be mixed with Chang'an. Your Majesty is Chang'an, and Chang'an is Your Majesty."
Li Zhi said: "Damn, that's so good... I have to think about it carefully to avoid falling into your trap."
Yun Chu added: "Your Majesty, the Daming Palace has the most perfect and strongest defense system in the world. At the same time, there is a large enough area around it for Your Majesty to place the Sixteenth Guards."
Li Zhi frowned and said: "The more you talk about it, the more I feel that the Daming Palace is very similar to Dong Zhuo's Xiwu City. It is said that that guy built many official residences in Xiwu and housed thousands of people plundered from all over the country.
Beauty, and also hoarded a large amount of gold and silver and enough food and grass for thirty years. Every time he returned to Xiwu, Dong Zhuo would have a lot of fun.
However, the outcome for this guy was not good. He finally died in Xiwu City.
Yo yo yo, I remembered that Dong Zhuo died in the hands of Lu Bu, a fierce general who looked very similar to you, ya ya ya, Yun Chu, what is the purpose of letting me move the capital to Daming Palace and fall to the ground? "
Seeing Li Zhi's startled look, Yun Chu sighed and said: "The current climate of our Tang Dynasty is not comparable to that of the late Han Dynasty."
Li Zhi seemed to have caught the loophole in Yunchu's words, and said excitedly: "The Han Dynasty will be destroyed by force!"
Yun Chu said angrily: "That's great. I can go to the Daming Palace to defend His Majesty. Is that okay?"
Li Zhi bared his white teeth and said with a smile: "Lu Bu did the same thing."
Yun Chu was stunned for a moment and said, "No matter what I say, your Majesty will think that I have no good intentions towards you."
Li Zhi chuckled and said: "I didn't think so before, but now it's hard to tell. After I killed people in Luoyang, Chang'an, and Jinyang, maybe you will think that I'm crazy and want to make a solid one."
The city locked me up.
If you don’t go, I won’t go even if you say Potian, so I will stay in Jiucheng Palace and wait for you, the rebellious officials and traitors, to come and assassinate the king.”
Ruichun, who had hurried back in a hurry, came to Feipu Pavilion to report to the emperor about Chang'an. When he heard the emperor's nonsense, his liver and gallbladder were split with horror.
Li Zhi glanced at Ruichun, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and said with some annoyance: "Get out."
Ruichun heard this and stepped back on her knees.
Yunchu took a sip of the sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and said with a smile: "Ruichun has just returned from Chang'an. Your Majesty, why don't you listen to his explanation."
Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "You must have done something sorry for me. When I didn't know about it, I could still talk to you and let go of the depression in my heart. If Ruichun said something unfavorable to you, you said,
Should I kill you or not?
We, the monarchs and ministers, should continue to talk about Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo, and you, Lu Bu."
Seeing that the emperor was very interested in self-abuse, Yunchu had no choice but to continue to discuss with Li Zhi how to trap him in the Daming Palace, which was like Xiwu City, and finally how to take his life, kidnap the prince Li Hong, and then separate Chang'an as the king, and then go out and control it.
The story of Hulao Pass, which was conquered by the people of the world, and Yunchu defeated the seventy-six soldiers of King Qin with his supreme personal courage.
"Yeah, you are right. To gain Guanzhong, you must take Shuzhong as the foundation, then take over Longxi, the homeland of Great Qin, and send a general to open up the western regions to prosper Chang'an's commerce. This is the foundation of the emperor.
However, the Queen is not easy to deal with. She has Pei Xingjian to help her stabilize the Central Plains, Lianghuai, Shandong, and Hebei. People in these places hate me, the Li family, and are unlikely to help the Queen.
Xue Rengui's relatives and friends are all in Hedong. With his ability, he must be able to carve out a piece of land. This piece of land is not small and can even span the land of Yanzhao... Hey, the two of us are not satisfied. Come here.
, call Xue Rengui to come."
Yun Chu took the opportunity and said: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were so powerful that Ruichun, the general manager of Baiqisi, had to come."
So, under Yunchu's strong suggestion, Ruichun and Xue Rengui stared with two pairs of blood-red eyes and had to participate in the Datang version of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" board game hosted by Li Zhi himself.
Until dawn, Li Zhi was still in high spirits. The board game last night kept his brain running at high speed. Even after not sleeping all night, he was still in high spirits, as if he had returned to his youth.
"After all, four people discussing together is a bit weak. If Xu Jingzong is brought in to act as Jia Xu, and someone like Chu Suiliang is brought in to act as Xun Yu..."
After one night, Rui Chun and Xue Rengui, who were originally full of anger, gradually entered their roles. In their eyes, although this was a game, it was also a preview of a large-scale military, political, and people's livelihood.
The characters in the game have gradually become more fleshed out due to a night of discussion. Coupled with the grand scene of the heroes competing in the late Han Dynasty, once they are substituted, and the participants are all high-ranking heroes, the game suddenly becomes addictive.
It has become a large-scale government event that can truly predict the future.
That night, four people were on the table, cutting the country of Tang Dynasty into pieces, killing people like rivers of blood, and not even a hundred people in the world were left alive.
Even people like Li Zhi, Yun Chu, Rui Chun, and Xue Rengui, who were prolific murderers, were frightened by the consequences of killing.
Facing the rising sun, Li Zhi chuckled. This was a new toy he had discovered. The most important thing was that he was the one who created this new toy. Under coercion, Yunchu, Ruichun, and Xue Rengui had to deal with it with all their concentration.
There is no way to cheat in the game. Li Zhi is a qualified emperor, Yunchu and Xue Rengui are all qualified generals, and Ruichun is a very powerful eunuch.
Once someone cheats, it is easy to fall into the eyes of the other three people, and finally get a flattering label in the eyes of the emperor. However, Yunchu and Xue Rengui can only deal with it with all their strength under the rules of the emperor's plan. Once they fail, they will be incompetent in the eyes of the emperor.
generation.
It was said to be a game played all night long, but in fact the four of them had been intrigued all night long.
At this time, Yunchu was looking forward to playing this game with the emperor, empress, prince, and famous officials and generals of the Tang Dynasty...
The Tang Dynasty really couldn't bear the large-scale killings. If the emperor continued to kill, it would only tear the Tang Dynasty, which had just been united together, into pieces again.
Yun Chu didn't want to see such a scene. He felt that the current prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was due to his contribution.
If the emperor could replace the people he killed in reality with soybeans, mung beans, and red beans on the table, this might not be a blessing for the Tang Dynasty.
