"Liu Hubeard... do you know who I am working so hard to train? Do you know who the best successor is in my heart?"
Liu Lang grabbed the thick white beard on his chin and kept rubbing it, "Don't show off to me. You are so mysterious. I knew you when you appeared from the Taihang Mountains wearing a weird leather coat." Not a good way to go!”
"I don't know you yet! You've been chattering away all the way... Okay, I know you came from heaven. Others are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you. You were the one who kicked me in the butt back then..."
"If the prince hadn't spoken faster, I would have killed you as a lobbyist with one knife... You are so talkative that you are like a consecrated person. Don't let you speak. Whoever hears you will be in trouble..."
"Humph... I calmed the prince down with just one sentence, and actually said that you understand the real reason for the failure of the Kingdom of Heaven? Good guy, this tickled the prince's heart!"
"With just this sentence, you escaped my attack..."
Xiao Letian laughed, "Yeah...it's true...I thought about it carefully. It seems that the closest I got to death during my journey was by your knife!"
"Even if we fight with foreign devils in the future, it's actually not that dangerous... Only your knife is the most dangerous. If you had been faster and the prince had a fuller mouth, I would have been killed..."
Yi Wang and Liu Lang were the leaders of the bandit den in Taihang Mountain back then, and they were both older than Xiao Letian. Their situation was different from that of the Four Heavenly Kings and others.
The Four Heavenly Kings treated Xiao Letian with true discipleship, and they were all about the same age!
But Liu Lang and Yi Wang were true gentlemen to Xiao Letian. For the sake of Xiao Letian's career, they could even banish themselves politically.
Xiao Letian couldn't get enough of this favor, and because of this, he was able to take off the mask of the head of state in front of these two people and truly become an ordinary person.
"Okay, I won't kid you. In fact, the two best successors in my heart are Cai Bixia and... Fatty Jin!"
"Who? The daughter of the Cai family and this fat guy Jin Sanshun? Are you training them to be your successors?" Liu Lang shook his hands and scratched his beard.
"How is this possible? How is this possible? The Chinese people are full of talented people, including Xiang Ying and Lin Zhen! The Four Heavenly Kings can also take over..."
"Cai Bixia and Little Fatty Jin? This...I'm not saying they are bad, but...but this can't be the focus of training, right?"
"Cai Bixia is a girl, and Fatty Jin doesn't look like a leader when he smiles..."
Xiao Letian shook his head, "No, no, no... your view of the problem is too one-sided and chauvinistic! Cai Bixia is very talented, but she is just a woman, so you are naturally dissatisfied, right?"
"Don't look at Fatty Jin who is smiling, he is a caring person and he has something in his belly!"
"Wang Huaiyuan and the Four Heavenly Kings can't do it! Lao Wang is a sick boy, Luo Huo has a bad temper and has little education. I used to think Xiao Hexin was pretty good. However, the crisis of the stock market crash that almost broke out in Jiangnan made me realize that he still can't do it! "
"Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun have historical limitations after all! The memories of fighting back and forth between the Manchu and the Kingdom of Heaven in the first half of their lives are too deep, and their understanding of the new world in the future is not high!"
"They can only follow my baton step by step! They can do it when I'm here, but they can't do it once I'm gone!"
"Xiang Ying and Lin Zhen's problem is more complicated... It's not that they are cruel or too radical... These are all symptoms. Their problem is that they are too egotistical!"
"Yes, it is what Buddhism calls egotism...it takes the values formed by oneself as the core and is unwilling to make any changes. To the outside world, it seems that there is a strong principle of right and wrong, but this kind of character itself is wrong!"
"Why does what you think is right have to be right? There is a saying that you should never persuade others to do good without suffering others' suffering!"
"On a thousand square kilometers of land, there are many people and many ethnic groups, and everyone has their own persistent ideas... Blind dominance will not work. In the end, you can only rely on force to solve it!"
"This is not the way to govern the country! So in the final analysis, Xiang Ying and others are just materials for governor... Give him the military and political rights of a province, he can do a good job!"
"Because within a province, after all, the people's sentiments are similar, and the ethnic and religious issues are not very complicated! Do you put it in the overall situation? There will really be trouble..."
"Then according to what you say, he can't do it in areas with complex ethnic groups such as Southwest and Indochina. The ethnic groups here are even more complex. I have seen more religious schools in the past few years than I have seen in my whole life..." Liu Lang said.
"Yes! These places are not suitable for them. They must be used according to their talents... They will be of great use in the future, but they will definitely not be the prime minister, that's for sure!"
"What about Fu Yin'er? Sooner or later, the country will have to be given to him!" Liu Lang looked at Xiao Letian and said.
Xiao Letian shook his head, "I'm not pretending to you, I really don't want him to take over... If there is really no other way, I will only let him work for one term to experience..."
"I, the Xiao family, are actually suitable to work behind the scenes... to help the Chinese at the helm in a subtle way. When the country is not facing a national crisis, try not to exert influence..."
"But I'm a little scared now... because I underestimated the power of traditional customs! I really didn't expect that there would be so many people within the Chinese community who are secretly encouraging Fu Yin'er to ascend the throne. emperor!"
"They couldn't push me away, so they pushed Fu Yin'er... This poisonous fire is hidden in people's hearts. The key is that they don't admit it, and they are secretly making waves under the water..."
"This is also an important reason why I want to quit and commit suicide..."
"I can't be the emperor anymore. This is not that era anymore... I, the Xiao family, want to be the uncrowned king, not the idol on the dragon throne!"
"Cai Bixia and Jin Sanshun are good. Their background in the navy proves that their knowledge is good. They have been abroad and seen the world, and learned new knowledge..."
"I will continue to implement my Deep Blue strategy in the future and will not retreat to the mainland strategy. The two of them can guarantee this!"
"I kept asking Cai Bixia to be a special envoy and engage in diplomacy... just to let him see the moment when the whole Qing Dynasty was shattered. If I let her rush, she might be able to pierce the window paper. Once she has an epiphany, She is a very good Prime Minister!"
"Fatty Jin's talent should be lower than that of Cai Bixia, but he's not bad either... Fatty Jin's biggest advantage is financial management! He has been responsible for the navy's logistics and funding issues. Do you think he has ever made any mistakes?"
"This guy can still find time to help the family run the business... This guy has a very good relationship with the capitalist forces within the Chinese family!"
"Fat Jin understands what's going on here. If he becomes prime minister, he will be able to manipulate these greedy capitalists!"
"If the two of them work together well, I believe that in the next few decades, the Chinese will not have capital oligarchs forcing their way into politics!"
"And they all come from military backgrounds, and their families are old Ryukyu nobles, and they have good connections! If you can handle the pressure, do it for a few terms. If Fu Yin'er is in his thirties or forties and wants to try, then let him run for one term. go……"
"That's it...that's it...after you try it, just hide it again..."
Liu Lang looked at Xiao Letian, "Well, after calculation, the Chinese people should be free of trouble for a hundred years, and the hidden danger of civil strife will be much smaller. What about a hundred years from now?"
"I'll go... I'll be dead by then, why should I care so much?"
"Sooner or later we are all going to die!" Xiao Letian looked towards the distant capital and thought to himself, "Who knows who is the real gold in this furnace of fire!"
