"Here."
Changsun Wuji stood 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 the stars were dancing around him.
He moved to the desk and sat on the chair. When he saw His Majesty Li Er going to 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 just as he sat down, he heard His Majesty Li Er sighing: "I think back then, we were like this among thousands of armies, chatting and laughing. Time to scold Fang Qiu, kill all the heroes in the green forest, compete in the Central Plains, dominate the world, and create a grand hegemony that will never be easy! At that time, how comfortable and contented, how satisfied! What a pity, time flies by, the past is no longer, now We enjoy the most extreme power in the world, but we no longer have the pure heart we had at that time. Human desires are endless. We look forward to Shu when we have a long way to go. We are greedy and unwise. We are always unsatisfied with the status quo in this life, but we don’t know that there is a time in life. And in the end, there is no end to desire. Is it the wise man to pursue endless desires with a limited life span? It only causes trouble..."
The meaning contained in the words is profound.
The words naturally have the intention of knocking Changsun Wuji, asking him not to be satisfied with Long Wangshu, and even go against the imperial power in order to gain profits. However, His Majesty Li Er's own emotion is also included in it. Doesn't he know that life will eventually end, and it is important not to die after prosperity? But he still turned his back on the way of heaven, cultivating immortality and pursuing immortality. Raising millions of troops to launch a massive expedition was certainly intended to eliminate the hidden dangers of a powerful enemy in the northeastern corner, but the reason for this was for the sake of his reputation as an emperor through the ages, right? As a result, the empire was in turmoil and people 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. Auxiliary machine and I will fight in Liaodong, and entrust everything in the family to those children who are usually well-mannered 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 affect the plan of the Eastern Expedition. . But 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 more teaching. Otherwise, if there is another time, the consequences will be extremely difficult to predict. "
Although he was so angry that his lungs were almost exploding and he wished he could arrest and behead all the bastards like Guan Long who despised the king's law and had no regard for the king, he also knew that the prince's treatment was extremely appropriate. At the critical moment of the Eastern 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 definitely 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 it 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 of the Eastern Expedition and the return to the court, the veteran will definitely give your Majesty, The imperial court will tell you that anyone involved in this case, no matter who they are, I will never spare!"
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 himself 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 exterminating families as a matter of course. Even if it caused a shock to the world, he would not hesitate to do so. 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's 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 the 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? Besides, I am old now and am no longer interested in fame and wealth. 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 one of the Dukes and Three Dukes of the current dynasty. 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 hometown of Yan and Zhao in Hebei was a fiefdom for him, and he cracked the soil and made him a king.
However, the reason why His Majesty Li Er wanted to entrust the important ministers of the court and the princes to the world was because although he was on the throne at that time, the world was not at peace, and there were deployments of hidden princes everywhere to cause trouble, so loyal people were needed to guard them everywhere. Stabilize the country.
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.
Then what His Majesty Li Er said "must be rewarded" can only be the descendants of Yinmeng'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? I don't need to say much, 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 all directions and conquer the world, they were filled with passion and love, and their three-foot-long green sword cut the world. How carefree, happy, and 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 fortune, 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, it will save me from being burdened with the eternal infamy of a man who massacred a hero and killed a donkey. I feel very relieved.”
Changsun Wuji fearfully said: "Your Majesty is a sage king for thousands of years, a wise judge for thousands of miles, and his achievements are as far as the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty. I am really lucky to be able to follow your Majesty to create great achievements. I will support the Tang Dynasty for the rest of my life and never contradict it!"
How could His Majesty Li Er's words express a 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 you two 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, then don't blame me for being too cruel!
If Changsun Wuji had been walking within the limits 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.
His Majesty Li Er will sever all ties with anyone who dares to shake the country and the country, and then make amends with him.
Even the eldest grandson’s family 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 against the outbreak of war in the world, he will kill many people and kill all the rebellious people in order to stabilize Li Tang.
