In the fifth year of King Gan's ascending the throne, due to the accumulation of the previous few years, the entire Dagan Dynasty reached its peak of prosperity. If used in modern language, it means that the Dagan Dynasty has completely entered the ranks of developed countries, even if it is People who do not have any job can also receive minimum living security.
At this time, Gan Yunxiu was in his prime. At less than forty years old, he almost accomplished a feat that had not achieved before the familiar king Gan.
For a time, the entire Dagan Dynasty was in its peak state.
But at this time, King Gan suddenly became confused and entered a period of at a loss for a long time.
Because King Gan found that he had no goal of hard work, the entire Dagan Dynasty had developed to the extreme. As long as he continued to follow the current route, Dagan could maintain eternal prosperity.
It is terrible to have no goal, especially for a monarch.
So, King Gan, who had not seen Xiang Que for almost a year, walked into the remote courtyard at dusk.
"teacher……"
Gan Wang sat respectfully opposite Xiang Que, and then asked softly: "I found that my mood has changed. Recently, a long time ago, there has been almost a darkness in front of my eyes. I seem to be unable to find the direction at all. .”
Xiang Que said, "Do you know what aggression and annexation are?"
Gan Wang was stunned for a moment. He understood these two words, but he didn't understand what they mean.
There were no other countries around the place where the Dagan Dynasty was located, which even led many people to think that there might be only one country in the world, and there would be no other people.
This mentality is also very normal. Just like in ancient times, when no foreigners were found, people from any dynasty might think that there was only this piece of Yanhuang in the world.
"There was a long-standing dynasty. When it was developed to the peak of its height, the monarch was unwilling to accept the status quo of the entire country. So he led millions of soldiers under his command, riding war horses across several continents, and his territory continued to be As it expanded, everything passed was invasion and annexation, and in the end the area of its territory had to be several times larger than the initial one…”
Xiang Que looked at King Gan and asked slowly: "Do you want to take this path? With Da Gan's current state, you can fight around hundreds of thousands of miles. I can also tell you that in Da Gan's case, Thirty thousand miles east of Gan, there is a dynasty that is slightly smaller than Dagan. Naturally, it is not as developed as Dagan!"
"To the north of Dagan, 500,000 miles away, there is also a similar country."
“There are also in the southeast direction!”
"Will you choose to lead the great soldiers to invade these countries and expand your territory?"
Xiang Que's words made King Gan deeply shocked. First of all, he was surprised that he didn't expect that there were three countries in his work hundreds of thousands of miles away. Secondly, he was shocked by Xiang Que's aggressive words. arrive.
People are very aggressive, and everyone is like this, especially a king, who may have this obsession, that is, anywhere in a unified perspective, where human life is known.
King Gan didn't say anything for a long time, he was digesting what Xiang Que said.
"Invasion means war. Although the treasury of a big fight is enough to support dozens of wars, there are no one who will die or suffer in the war. In this way, the grand occasion created by the big fight may end..."
Normally, King Gan’s idea is correct. After the war, it often indicates that people will be killed or injured. For Dagan, who has finally entered the ranks of developed countries, King Gan will definitely not want to see it.
"You won't do this, then what about the next generation of Gan Wang after your death? What about the next generation, will all Gan Wang be as you think? There is only one Gan Wang like you, and you will definitely not be able to guarantee the Gan Wang of all generations. They are all like you."
Xiang Que's words directly made King Gan enter an incredible surprise, which almost defeated the thought he had just made.
King Gan shook his head slowly.
Indeed, the Gan King after him will eventually embark on this path.
Xiang Que said slowly: "Since you can't promise, and you will sooner or later take this path, it's better to start with you... Anyway, being idle is still idle."
King Gan frowned and sighed: "The people are innocent, but they will enter a state of dire straits because of the monarch's selfish desires. This is not what I want to see, and war will drag the whole strait into the abyss. Everything that has been created now will probably be burned."
"Since you can't avoid it, you can only work hard to achieve the best state. With a large territory and a large resource, the resources will naturally be rich. As long as you can control it, the big work after the invasion should still maintain its current status quo. ” Xiang Que said.
Gan Wang took a deep breath and nodded, and the expression on his face meant that he was relieved.
After a casual conversation with Xiangque, the confusion in King Gan's heart was wiped out, and replaced by full of yearning.
Of course, King Gan also hoped to invade and annex. His resistance was just because he did not want to cause countless casualties and injuries to the people who were fighting hard. However, after resolving this obsession, other problems would no longer exist.
Xiang Que finally said: "After unification, you will face many difficulties, such as the unity of language and writing, the consistency of currency, and the implementation of various systems. After all, the integration of different countries and nations will be a huge The problem may not be enough to end your life's energy."
Gan Wang smiled and said, "Just you said, I am idle and idle. I will always do something for the rest of my life..."
People cannot stay idle. Once they get to the extreme, they will even make people go crazy.
Xiang Que didn't even need his spiritual sense to investigate, he had already seen the state of Gan Wang.
How to say, if the future king is really idle, he may be depressed.
The most important thing is that Xiang Que probably had predicted what the opportunity for Manjushri to return to the Bodhisattva position was.
Manjushri is a symbol of wisdom in the Buddha world.
Therefore, only by demonstrating his extraordinary wisdom can King Gan activate the Bodhisattva position in the end.
So is there any way to show endless wisdom?
There is no doubt that to be an emperor, then to develop the country, unify the dynasties of all parties, and then implement a series of systems and measures to finally achieve a perfect state.
Just like the Qin Dynasty back then, as long as King Gan walked the path of Qin Shihuang again and did better than him, it means that he would have fulfilled his merits.
Xiang Que believed that as long as he continued like this, when King Gan died, his Bodhisattva body would come back.
