Everyone has a dream of being an emperor, and Xiao Letian is no exception. It is good to be an emperor. The son of God governs all people on behalf of Heaven, and all people within the territory must surrender to him.
Endless power, limited constraints, subordinates like rain, and powerful generals like clouds! There are endless delicacies from the mountains and seas to eat, endless silks and satins to wear, and there are beauties in the harem who can never sleep with her in her life.
If you use all the people in the world to support one person, you can decide the life and death of millions of people in a chat and laugh, and you can destroy countless small countries with a wave of your hand.
This is the pinnacle of the human world. Apart from the paradise or paradise described by religion, who else can compare with this kind of blessing?
It's a lie not to be tempted. Xiao Letian is also a common man in the world. When he sees the food and wine, he wants to take a few more bites. When he sees the palace, he wants to enjoy it. When he sees the beautiful characters, he also wants to be petty.
But the biggest difference between a hero and a bear is knowing how to advance and retreat, and knowing how to introspect! When the hero sees honey, he can also see the knife stained with honey, but when the bear sees honey, he doesn't care about anything.
Knowing how to advance but not retreating is a huge dividing line between mediocre people and capable people. When greed and ignorance blind people's hearts, the higher you climb, the more miserable you will fall.
When mankind entered the second industrial revolution, the addition of scientific and technological power began to double the power of war. The birth of more new industries forced countries to start extensive compulsory education, otherwise there would not be so many qualified workers. Work.
Education opens up people's wisdom, and high-tech weapons arm the hands of the weak. Ancient soldiers could not play well with swords, guns, swords and halberds without more than ten years of hard training.
But after the labor movement began, any worker could learn to operate a rifle in a few minutes, and he could kill a martial arts master by pulling the trigger.
Chaos, it was an era of extreme chaos. Various ideas began to collide violently, and various forces began to expand rapidly. When productivity continued to improve, when industrial products could be obtained more easily.
Humanity suddenly discovered that seizing power by force is actually such a simple matter. As long as you have enough resources and productivity, your empire will be able to continuously expand like a crazy army.
The mass strangulation of millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people has finally occurred. The god of death is singing loudly and the gods are weeping. The sharp double-edged sword is not something that children can play with. In the end, the bloody crown will roll into dust.
Not even the powerful German Empire could do it. Little William, who is now living with his grandmother in Buckingham Palace, was the future William II. He lost at the hands of that era.
The last tsar of Russia was even worse, and his entire family was directly wiped out!
Xiao Letian knew very well that even if he ascended the throne, with his own ability and the memory of two lives in his heart, he could manage the whole story, control the Chinese people and even overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
He is still sure of maintaining the prosperity of the Chinese people for thirty or forty years. But what about after death? People can't be too selfish, and they can't always think about the raging flood behind them! You must remember that those who drown are your own children and grandchildren. People cannot be unkind to this extent.
After thinking about all this, Xiao Letian became firm again, "Old Wang! None of us are immortals. Sooner or later we have to see the Lord of Hell... We can suppress all internal conflicts when we are alive, but what about after we die? "
"The king is not me, Xiao Letian, and the minister is not you, Wang Huaiyuan... Once the emperor and the ministers, by then the friendship we have after fighting on the battlefield will no longer be the same!"
"Are you afraid of internal strife? Yes, I am afraid too! But you can't force me to become emperor just because you are afraid of internal strife and civil war, right? Even if I can suppress internal strife, what happens after I die?"
"At that time, internal strife will break out in a more violent way. If my children and grandchildren cannot suppress it by then, I'm afraid civil war will be inevitable!"
"That's why I didn't take the last step. The Chinese have made us raise the child single-handedly, and the child will always have to learn to walk on his own. We can't hold him forever!"
"Now I take a step back. Maybe the child will fall down a few hard, which is the kind of internal strife, internal fighting, and civil war you mentioned... But you also have to remember that children can only go through setbacks and fall over. Only then can he truly learn to walk!”
"The Chinese people must learn to resolve their own internal conflicts. When these people come together, they must find a way to fight without breaking up!"
"This is the only way for Chinese people to mature, and it is a setback that they must go through!"
Xiao Letian grabbed Wang Huaiyuan's hand and said sincerely, "Old Wang! I have heard all your hard work, and I really remember it. Let's not mention these things again today, okay? It's already half past two in the morning. It's really... There’s no time for any more waffling!”
"Don't force me, let alone force me to die! If you dare to commit suicide, do you think that I, Xiao Letian, dare not commit suicide? You quickly tell Xiao Hexin that as long as you dare to die to remonstrate, I, Xiao Letian, will die right behind you... I don’t care what happens to the Chinese people in the future, the worst they can do is fall apart!”
"You..." Wang Huaiyuan was so angry that he couldn't speak. He gasped for breath, "You are not stingy! You are just a fool..."
Xiao Letian chuckled, "Okay, Lao Wang, stop blowing your hair and staring...I'm not an unreasonable person. The factions you mentioned are really a problem..."
"Okay, how about you and I give in a little bit more?"
"How do you say this?" Wang Huaiyuan asked.
"Don't force me to ascend the throne and become the emperor, okay? Let me fight with peace of mind and lead the development of the Chinese nation... And me! I will take a step back and never mention the ten-year term of prime minister, okay? If you If I need to work for a few more years, I can consider it..."
"If I stay here for a few more years, maybe we can find a better way!"
Having said this, Wang Huaiyuan could only hold his nose and admit it. Although he did not achieve his expected goal, it was able to make Xiao Letian promise not to retire voluntarily and control the Chinese clan for a longer period of time. This is a big gain for the Emperor Faction.
Things in the future will be discussed in the future. Now that Xiao Letian has relaxed, he will act according to the situation in the future. If it doesn't work, he will engage in military dissent. Even if the yellow robe is added, Xiao Letian will be allowed to take over.
"Okay! I won't force you during this time in Europe... Do you really promise not to retire in ten years?"
"A gentleman speaks quickly and whips his horse! I, Xiao Letian, am also a man. Why did I lie to you? Besides, if I lie to you, won't you still not let me go?"
"But then again, the name you guys came up with is so ugly! Emperor's Faction? It's so tacky, so tacky..."
Wang Huaiyuan blinked and suddenly laughed ghostly and said, "How about, Head of State, give us a name?"
"Shit! I'm going to give you a name? You are forcing me to marry you like this. If I don't put you in jail, it will be worthy of our old friendship. Get out of here and go to work...and! Don't cause trouble for Fangguan, you guys?" These male chauvinists! Let’s plan the layout carefully, and use women as pawns to explore the way!”
Wang Huaiyuan rubbed his temples and said extremely tiredly, "She is just a woman. You have given her so much power. This is already an exception! She is worthy of her. It is no big deal to be scolded and a little wronged." Son!"
"I still say the same old thing. After this European mission is over, Fangguan and the old prince must return to China! Even if they go to Nanyang, they can't stay in one place for a long time..."
