Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly when he saw Li Ye's relieved reaction, and for a moment he was a little unsure about Li Ye's state of mind at this time.
Silently drinking down the drink, Liu Mingzhi played with the glass in silence for a long time, then looked at Li Ye again.
"Is the right or wrong answer really that important to you?"
“Of course it’s important, more important than the child’s life.
Because this answer made the child understand that although the country fell in the child's own hands, it was not caused by the child's inaction.
It can only be said that when the mountains and rivers arrive, the manpower will be exhausted!
After meeting the ancestors of the Li family, the child will not be at a loss for words. "
Liu Mingzhi understood Li Ye's intention without thinking.
He poured a glass of wine with an incomprehensible expression: "My uncle taught you the art of imperial power. The strategy of governing the country is to let you stabilize the country and the country, not just to consolidate your own imperial power.
Not for you to use against me.
You are an excellent student.
But you used what I taught you and turned it against me. Am I reaping the consequences? "
Li Ye shook his head with a wry smile and gave Liu Mingzhi a piece of meat jerky: "To be honest, if the uncle and the child's positions were reversed.
The uncle is the emperor, and the child is the king.
On the day he ascended the throne, tens of thousands of troops did not listen to the new emperor's orders, but were shouted back by the generals; the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty argued hard against the emperor, but were subdued by powerful ministers; millions of troops bowed before the emperor, but were sincerely convinced when they saw the king.
I am my uncle, how should I feel? "
"You only saw this, but why can't you see some things?"
Li Ye frowned and looked at Liu Mingzhi with deep doubts in his eyes.
Liu Mingzhi threw the wine glass on the table and drank directly from the wine bottle.
"Back then, your uncles rebelled, and your father was worried that the people in the city would be implicated, so he defended the palace and died young.
Your mother, mother-in-law, brothers and sisters were pursued by the rebels like lost dogs.
My uncle rushed thousands of miles to the capital to rescue King Qin, and met the three of you in Mingzhou. Do you still remember this? "
"My uncle's life-saving grace will never be forgotten by my children. Of course I will remember it!"
"At that time, neither your uncle nor you knew whether your father was safe and sound. Your mother followed your father's last words and handed the imperial seal into my hands. The worst possible outcome would be that he would ask me to support him after he became famous. You, the eldest son of the emperor, ascended the throne and proclaimed yourself emperor.
Later, I arranged for you and led troops to the capital to rescue King Qin, but it was too late. Your father had already died.
At that time, the affairs between your uncle and your aunt, Queen Jin Wanyan Wanyan, and your cousin Yue'er had been revealed by your Third Prince.
At that time, my uncle was on the cusp of the storm. If he was not careful, he would fall into the abyss.
At that time, I had a large army in hand and was dominating the capital. Outside, I had your aunt Wanyan's gentle words to help me, and inside, I had unparalleled cavalry to look down on the world.
Moreover, it is said that the imperial seal is in my hands. If I declare myself emperor at that time, it would be nothing more than a piece of cake for me to quietly remove you, mother and son.
And no one knows that you are no longer alive.
I did not do this, but handed the Imperial Seal to the imperial envoy Xia Gongming for safekeeping, and went to Mingzhou in person to welcome you back to the capital to ascend the throne as emperor.
You said that on the day you ascended the throne, your uncle was too powerful and his troops did not obey your orders.
But if I don't have a strong momentum, how can I intimidate the civil and military officials of the dynasty and make them honestly respect you as emperor?
Later, after the soldiers and horses retreated, my uncle welcomed you into the palace and sat on the dragon chair with a kneeling ceremony.
Did you know that, except for your grandfather and my father Huang Ruizong, not even your father Emperor Wuzong has ever received the courtesy of kneeling down from your uncle?
And you endured it!
Later, I even took the initiative to hand over the military talisman and the commander's seal in the middle, just to tell you that my uncle has no intention of dominating the world, but I didn't expect that you would still harbor grudges. "
Li Ye looked at Liu Mingzhi's downcast expression, and his body couldn't help but tremble a few times.
"All the officials deceived you because you were young and didn't understand government affairs, and they treated you in a submissive manner. Some important ministers secretly met with your brother Li Tao in private.
I am lazy and have a habit of being absent from the court for a long time. When I return to the court, I will shock all the officials. This is not to demonstrate my authority, but to establish prestige for you.
I want to tell them that Your Majesty is supported by Liu Mingzhi, who has a lot of troops in my hands! Even I have to bow my head, and you have to be convinced even if you are not convinced!
You don't need me to tell you how the officials will treat you later. "
After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, Li Ye shuddered hard again.
"As for the military parade in Northern Xinjiang, it's something I didn't even think of. There's no need to explain it or not.
After I left the school grounds and returned home, Marshal Yun must have told you that with the Tiger Talisman Commander Seal in his hand and his prestige, as well as the prestige of the Sixth Guards General of Northern Xinjiang, he would definitely be able to mobilize half of the troops to prevent me from attacking. Soldiers respect themselves.
But you forgot, and so did Mr. Yun.
That is the Twenty-seventh Prefecture of Northern Xinjiang, a place given to me by the late Emperor to take charge of all important military and political affairs.
I can completely confiscate their military symbols temporarily with the Side by Side King Order!
Even though the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang directly turned against me mainly with their veteran generals, they forgot that even if they were outnumbered, I still had hundreds of thousands of troops from the Jin Kingdom to back me up!
If I... Sigh... I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore...
Frankly speaking, I have left two paths for you, one is to help you dominate the world, and the other is for your uncle who doesn't want to die yet and needs to protect himself.
You chose a path that seemed reasonable but was confusing.
Can't you see what your uncle has done for you?
In fact, you have always seen it in your eyes, but not in your heart.
Because I don’t know when, you have lost your sense of power and only have so-called imperial power in your eyes, without a trace of human touch.
What you think about is always how to keep your throne, rather than how to take a long-term view and aspire to dominate the world.
This is why when I led the troops to the Northern Expedition, when I was about to succeed, why did you use Ren Qingrui's father and father-in-law Ren Wenyue to form a clique for personal gain, and in the name of putting the emperor under house arrest, you cut off the subsequent food and grass for the Northern Expedition army.
Because you are afraid that after I lead the army to dominate the world, I will achieve great success and shock the emperor!
No, it is more appropriate to be the master with high achievements!
The throne has blinded your eyes and mind, preventing you from seeing that during the Northern Expedition, hundreds of thousands of soldiers paid the price with their lives so that you could unify the world and become an emperor for the ages. "
"Gudu...you know it all!"
"If others don't know, unless you don't do anything about it, anything that seems to be perfect will not stand up to scrutiny.
My uncle doesn’t know why you have become like this, but precisely because of this, your uncle tells you that when the imperial power in your eyes is greater than the common people in the world, you will never become an emperor through the ages.
In other words, you only saw the imperial power in the book of state governance, but neglected to think deeply about the statecraft in the state policy.
The people are water and the king is the boat. The water can carry the boat or capsize it!
I teach you two books together. I hope that you can complement each other and be a benevolent king who distinguishes between public and private affairs. I am not asking you to specialize in one skill and only want to monopolize power!
But you yourself ended up taking a narrow and diagonal path!
If you want to centralize power to better enforce government decrees and govern the world, my uncle can tell you that you are indeed right.
But you have forgotten Dalong's current national situation, with internal and external troubles. The situation seems calm, but in fact it cannot withstand turmoil.
You are only a teenager, and you will have a lot of time to govern the world.
Unfortunately, you are too impatient.
You are indeed right, but you are so wrong! "
Li Ye stared in stunned silence as Liu Mingzhi pointed out all the shortcomings of his actions word by word. When he realized what he had done, his expression no longer looked as arrogant as before, but only regretful.
With a soft thud, Li Ye knelt heavily in front of Liu Mingzhi, who immediately stood up with a frown.
"What are you doing?"
"Whether I am the emperor or my uncle is the emperor, today there are only father and nephew.
My son, Li Ye, thank you uncle for letting me know how to die! "
After hearing Li Ye's words, Liu Mingzhi trembled and sat silently on the chair, looking at the bottle of wine he had brought.
"You...you guessed it all!"
"Um!"
Liu Mingzhi took a breath and silently held the wine bottle in his hand.
"You are not afraid?"
Li Ye stood up and sat on the chair, nodding silently.
"It is enough to hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening!
Uncle, I hope you will take good care of my mother and my sister, out of consideration for the fact that the mother gave birth to a daughter for you, and keep the innocence of the Li family and the mother.
After a hundred years, she can pass away with a clean reputation.
Otherwise, if my mother and my little sister are wronged, I won’t let you go even if I’m a ghost! "
Liu Mingzhi, who learned from Chen Jie that the child was gone and also learned from Li Ye that Chen Jie had given birth to a daughter for him, showed no surprise at all and silently fiddled with the wine flask in his hand.
Liu Mingzhi stared at Li Ye with a complicated expression for a while, then picked up an empty wine glass, picked up the wine flask he brought, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Li Ye.
"You still have a chance to regret it!"
Li Ye looked at the wine bottle in Liu Mingzhi's hand, and then at the wine glass he had prepared in front of him and smiled with understanding: "My child has really guessed what my uncle meant now!"
Li Ye's expression gradually became silent as he took the wine glass from Liu Mingzhi's hand without changing his expression.
"Before you die, let your child know what to call my sister who is not my biological sister!"
Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips and was silent for a while with his eyes thoughtful.
"Lianniang! Liu Lianniang!"
"Lian Niang! Liu Lian Niang, pity mother, haha... What a good name, thank you uncle! I respect you, my dear!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Ye raising his glass and drinking. He sighed and raised his own glass and drank it all in one gulp!
