"Rather than saying that we are a country, we are more like a big family. In fact, over the past thousand years, although we have been divided into the royal family and the common people, we have also been very harmonious in getting along with each other, just like a family.
Like a big family.”
"As the saying goes, treat people like your own children. These four words may be the secret to long-lasting prosperity."
Liu Ye smiled.
Chen Tianqi nodded with deep understanding. Now he manages the Blood Wolf Palace, adhering to the four words "the benevolent are invincible", which is similar to Liu Bei at the time.
Nowadays, many people always regard Liu Bei as a hypocrite and hypocritical, but Chen Tianqi disagrees. This is purely moral kidnapping.
Since ancient times, there has never been a truly perfect person.
Even Sage Confucius had seven emotions and six desires. Many of the Confucian tricks he created only existed in beautiful illusions, and even he himself could not do it at all.
During his lifetime, Kong Sheng never admitted that he was a saint. He always regarded himself as insignificant.
It was only later that his disciples, in order to fulfill their filial piety to their teacher, and the rulers took advantage of him, established such a standard.
Calling Liu Bei hypocritical is definitely a moral kidnapping. Who said that a benevolent person cannot be domineering at the same time?
Who stipulates that a kind person should be selfless and have boundless love?
This is pedantic!
As the saying goes, great loyalty is like treachery, and great treachery is like loyalty. Many things cannot be used to evaluate a person one-sidedly.
For example, if Chen Tianqi implements benevolent policies, does he have to be polite to everyone and convince others with reason all day long?
That's impossible. When it's time to use his fists, Chen Tianqi will never hesitate.
Wang Yangming, the most perfect man in the Ming Dynasty, also used tricks in his deeds such as putting down King Ning's rebellion. If viewed from a one-sided perspective, his methods are not bright either.
But Wang Yangming summed up his life with the words "My heart is bright, what else can I ask for?", which was recognized by everyone and did not say that he was treacherous.
"You are right, but it is really not easy to keep it unchanged for thousands of years. Perhaps, only in a place like a paradise, where there is not much material for the expansion of desires, people's hearts will be more
Please be pure. Your island is not purely Liu clan. It can even be said that the descendants of the common people and the remaining generals are far more than the royal family, but they are willing to be loyal to you for thousands of years and have not changed.
, it’s really rare.”
Chen Tianqi said with admiration.
"Yes, the people and generals are very loyal." Liu Ye smiled and nodded.
"Maybe this is the charm of your Liu family. Otherwise, how could Liu Bei, who had nothing at the time, let Guan, Zhang, Zhao Yun, Zhuge, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and other great talents follow him to the death? I have to say that apart from the word charm,
, there is no other explanation." Chen Tianqi said: "By the way, speaking of this, I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to lend a helping hand?"
"Of course not!" Before Liu Ye could speak, General Li on the side refused: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can he put himself in danger and open some Qin Emperor's underground palace with you?"
"General Li, I...want to see the outside world." Liu Ye said suddenly.
"Your Majesty! This is absolutely impossible. A country cannot live without a king for a day. What's more, you are not married and have no heirs. This is absolutely impossible." General Li said loudly.
Liu Ye smiled slightly and said: "Although I am not married yet, I am not the only one in the Liu clan. Moreover, after listening to Mr. Chen's words, I also feel that from now on, we will abolish the monarchy.
We want to get along with the people on an equal footing, and anyone can take the position of emperor."
thump!
Upon hearing this, General Li was so frightened that he knelt down: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The Liu family will always be our monarch. Except for the Liu family, anyone who covets the imperial power is committing rebellion, and I will definitely punish him.
Destroy the nine tribes!"
"You, you are a bunch of monsters, you are deceiving the public with your monstrous words and deceiving Your Majesty. I am going to kill you."
General Li suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at Chen Tianqi and others.
"General Li, stop!" Liu Ye stopped him: "You are no match for Mr. Chen."
"Then I will fight to the death. I can't just watch him confuse Your Majesty." General Li said excitedly: "We have inherited the legacy on the island for thousands of years, how can we ruin the inheritance? Your Majesty, think twice."
"General Li, it's very nice here, but the outside world is very big. I want to go and see it. I will come back. Didn't you hear what Mr. Chen said? The descendants of the Five Tiger Generals and the inheritors of Wuhou are all here
Outside, as a descendant of the Liu family, how can I abandon them and ignore them? I have to go see them anyway, right?" Liu Ye said.
"General Li, please rest assured. We are just asking your Majesty to help activate the Dragon Gathering Formation. We do not need your Majesty to follow us to the underground palace. Moreover, our Blood Wolf Palace has enough strength to protect your Majesty." Chen Tianqi said seriously.
"Why should I believe you!" General Li snorted coldly.
Chen Tianqi smiled slightly, waved his right hand lightly, and a drop of tea flew to the center of General Li's eyebrows with a supreme chill.
"I'm sorry, I'm offended, General Li. I just want to prove to you that I have this ability. In our Blood Wolf Palace, there are no less than three hundred people like General Li who can reach out. This... is what I give
?General Li’s confidence and commitment." Chen Tianqi said.
General Li felt the drop of water falling in front of his eyes and frowned. He admitted that Chen Tianqi was indeed very powerful. Even thirty of him were no match.
However, he still could not accept that his king left the country and left the people like this.
"General Li, you don't have to worry. During the days when I'm gone, you have to assist the Liu clan and manage the country well. Wait for me to come back." Liu Ye said: "I promise you, I will come back unscathed.
, haven’t you seen what Mr. Chen is capable of?”
"Then... how long will it take for Your Majesty to leave here?" General Li asked unwillingly.
"It may take two or three months at the earliest, or two or three years at the earliest. Anyway, I will definitely come back." Liu Ye said.
"..." When he heard that two or three years was such a long time, General Li was even more reluctant to get up: "Your Majesty, at most half a year. If you don't come back after half a year, all of us on the island will go out to look for you."
"This... okay." Liu Ye also knew that this was General Li's last concession, so he agreed to it.
"In that case, Mr. Chen, when do you think we should set off?" Liu Ye turned around and asked Chen Tianqi.
Chen Tianqi thought for a while and said: "The time of departure is mainly up to His Majesty. You can explain everything that needs to be explained, and then you can leave. Oh... Before you leave, I still need a small favor from Your Majesty.
