Changsun Wuji got up from the ground, his steps were a little unsteady, his legs were trembling a little, maybe he was kowtowing too hard, he felt dizzy in front of his eyes, and Venus was dancing around him.
He moved to the desk and sat down on the chair. When he saw His Majesty Li Er put down the teapot, he quickly stood up, lifted the teapot and filled the teacup in front of His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "You also have a drink."
"Here."
Changsun Wuji took out a teacup from the tea tray, poured a cup for himself, put down the teapot, and as soon as he sat down, he heard His Majesty Li Er sighing: "I think back then, we were like this among thousands of troops, chatting and laughing.
In the meantime, he scolded Fang Qiu, killed all the heroes in the green forest, competed in the Central Plains, established the world, and created a grand hegemony that will never be easy! At that time, how comfortable and contented it was! What a pity, time flies by, the past is no longer there, now
We enjoy the most extreme power in the world, but we no longer have the pure original intention of that time. Human desires are endless. When you get a long way, you look forward to Shu. You are greedy and unwise. In this life, you are always unsatisfied with the status quo, but you don’t know that there is a time in life.
And in the end, there is no end to desires. Is it what a wise man does to pursue endless desires with a limited life span? It only causes trouble..."
The meaning contained in the words is profound.
Naturally, the words were meant to knock Changsun Wuji, asking him not to be satisfied with the long journey to Shu, and even go against the imperial power in order to gain profits. However, there was also His Majesty Li Er's own emotion in it. Didn't he know that life will eventually end?
The ultimate principle of prosperity and death? But he still deviated from the way of heaven, cultivated immortality and pursued immortality. He raised millions of troops and went on a crusade. Although he had the intention of cutting off the hidden dangers of this powerful enemy in the northeastern corner, he did it for the sake of his reputation as an emperor through the ages, right?
As a result, the empire was in turmoil and all lives were in ruins. Countless heroes of the Tang Dynasty were buried in Liaodong, and their souls died in foreign lands.
Changsun Wuji couldn't tell whether he was more self-deprecating or more critical...
He could only remain silent.
Fortunately, after His Majesty Li Er sighed for a while, he did not act aggressively. Instead, he sighed softly: "As a man lives in the world, it is inevitable that his wife will be unkind and his son will be unfilial. The auxiliary machine will fight with me in Liaodong, and will entrust everything in the family to those children who are usually pampered and well-off.
It is inevitable that some bad things will happen next. Fortunately, this plan has not come to fruition and has not caused serious consequences. The prince's letter has already suppressed the matter in the capital. Otherwise, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the government and may affect the plan of the Eastern Expedition.
.However, after this incident, it can be seen that the heirs in the family have not been able to truly take up the family business and stand upright. They still need a lot of teaching. Otherwise, if there is another time, it is difficult to predict what the consequences will be."
Although he was so angry that his lungs were almost exploding, and he wished he could arrest and behead these bastards like Guan Long who despised the king's law and had no authority over the king, he still knew that the prince's treatment was extremely appropriate.
At the critical moment of the expedition, another cannibal invaded the Western Region. It was the moment when the foundation of the empire was shaken. Any carelessness would lead to extremely serious consequences.
If the country is stable, everything can be compromised.
It's just that this fire is concentrated in the chest and abdomen. The longer it goes, the stronger it becomes. If it breaks out one day, it will shake the world and be out of control!
Changsun Wuji covered his face with his hands, feeling ashamed and said: "Your Majesty is so generous, I have no place to be ashamed of myself! However, Your Majesty is worried about the instability of the situation, so he leaves a way for those bastards to survive, but I can't just go along with the flow shamelessly. The children of the aristocratic family are indeed neglectful of discipline, and Su Zhangtai usually
You can do whatever you want, but there are some mistakes you can make and you can correct them, but there are some mistakes you must never make. Once you make a mistake, there will be no chance to correct it! Your Majesty, rest assured that after the victory in the Eastern Expedition and the return to the court, the old minister will definitely give your Majesty the best.
The imperial court will give an explanation, and I will never spare anyone involved in this case, no matter who it is!"
He understands what His Majesty Li Er means. At present, the stability of the court situation is the most important thing, but this matter will definitely not be reduced to a major matter or a trivial matter.
After returning to Beijing, either Changsun Wuji would clean up his family and give an explanation to the court, or His Majesty Li Er would take action on his own to uphold national laws and maintain discipline.
Although the former will inevitably kill flesh and blood, it can control the situation within a certain range and the losses are acceptable; if it is the latter, God knows what violent behavior His Majesty Li Er will do in his rage, and how many people and families will be killed.
Get involved.
After the Eastern Expedition, the four seas were unified and the empire no longer had any hidden dangers. It was the time for His Majesty Li Er to free up his hands to unscrupulously clean up the imperial court.
At that time, His Majesty Li Er had no scruples and took killing people and annihilating families as a matter of course, even if it caused a shock to the world. You can imagine how murderous and domineering he would be. Changsun Wuji did not want to bump into His Majesty Li Er.
On the edge of the knife...
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said happily: "As long as the auxiliary machine understands, it is not me who is harsh, but the law is ungrateful. If we can't set an example and follow suit in the future, the country will not be able to survive! But the auxiliary machine
Don’t worry, you will go on an expedition with me this time, and I will not treat you badly because of your hard work and achievements. You will definitely be rewarded when you return to Chang’an.”
Changsun Wuji burst into tears with gratitude: "It is the duty of a minister to share your worries for the king. How dare you ask for rewards? Moreover, I am old now and am no longer interested in fame and fortune. I only want to watch the empire become stronger and stronger under your majesty's control.
Achieving a prosperous age unprecedented in history is enough for your wish, and you will have no regrets even if you die."
He is now the Duke of the current dynasty and one of the three Dukes. He has already reached the pinnacle of human affairs. He has no titles and no rewards. Unless His Majesty Li Er comes up with his original idea of "feudal world" and chooses to
The former place of Yan and Zhao in Hebei was granted a fiefdom, and the soil was broken and the king was granted the title.
However, the reason why His Majesty Li Er wanted to divide the important ministers of the court and the princes into kingdoms was because although he was on the throne at that time, the world was not at peace, and there were hidden princes deploying everywhere to cause trouble, so loyal people were needed to guard them everywhere.
Stabilize the community.
Today, His Majesty Li Er's prestige has reached its peak. The clowns of the past have either died down or turned into powder. No one in the world can threaten his throne anymore. Why is it necessary to divide the world and guard the four directions?
Therefore, "feudal world" will never be mentioned again.
So what His Majesty Li Er said "must be rewarded" can only be the descendants of Yin Meng's eldest son's family.
Look, if you kill a few and reward a few, those who are still alive will have to be grateful to His Majesty Li Er for the reward. It’s really the damn emperor’s mind...
"Hey," His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said with a smile, "I have always been trying to punish everyone equally. How have I ever been confused on this point? No need to say more, I know it well."
Immediately he took a sip of tea and said with emotion: "I think back then, when all the gentlemen followed me to attack the four directions and conquer the world, they were filled with passion and love, and their three-foot-long green blade cut the world. How happy they were and how high-spirited they were! Just in the blink of an eye,
I have gone from the prime of life to an old age, and I no longer have the ambition in my heart. Instead, I am stuck in my own way, burdened by fame and wealth, and I am no longer as pure as I used to be... I am a person with a big heart, and I have always looked down on the cunning lackeys like the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
I am willing to share the wealth and honor with those old friends who follow me to conquer the world, and compose an eternal story of mutual respect between kings and ministers. Fortunately, everyone still remembers the past friendship and has always trusted me as the emperor.
Support, that’s great, that’s great, so that I don’t have to bear the burden of a hero who killed a donkey, and I’m relieved of the eternal infamy of killing a donkey. I feel very relieved.”
Changsun Wuji fearfully said: "Your Majesty, the sage king of thousands of years, has a clear vision for thousands of miles, and his achievements are as far as the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty. It is really lucky for me to be able to follow your Majesty and create great achievements. I should support the Tang Dynasty for the rest of my life and never contradict it!"
How could His Majesty Li Er's words express his feeling that the past is gone and time is fleeting?
It was clearly a warning to Changsun Wuji: I don't want to bear the infamy of those who were responsible for the massacre. If both of you are good, we will be blessed together. But if people are not full of heart and have some bad intentions behind their backs,
If you have to force me to use the knife on you, don't blame me for being too cruel!
If Changsun Wuji had been walking within the boundaries of His Majesty Li Er's tolerance before, confident that he could control His Majesty Li Er's mind and not go too far and cause irreparable consequences, then after His Majesty Li Er said these words,
Then I understood that His Majesty Li Er was determined.
Whoever dares to shake the country and shake up the country, His Majesty Li Er, will sever all ties with him and make amends with him.
Even the eldest grandson who gave birth to Queen Wende is the same!
He is an emperor after all, and no matter how much he loves and respects his queen, he cannot allow his descendants to do things that shake the country and the country.
If he persists in his stubbornness and fights for another war in the world, he will definitely kill many people and kill all the rebellious people in order to stabilize Li Tang's country.
