The second prince held the wine glass and looked at the turbid and warm liquid inside, thoughtfully.
He did not deny that Qin Feng's words made sense.
Throughout the dynasties, there have been few examples of wise kings who were generous to others being impeached by their ministers.
Those who are decisive in killing, no matter how talented or splendid they are, will always attract a lot of criticism, and they will still be criticized even after death.
only……
Given the current situation in Daliang, treating others with kindness is no different than committing suicide!
The second prince slowly raised his head, his eyes gradually becoming sharper: "Qin Feng, do you mean that you want the saint to bow his head and submit?
"That's a saint, the king of Liang, who is above tens of thousands of people!
"To be feared, feared, and as silent as a cicada is the majesty that a saint should have!"
Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked directly: "Your Highness, please don't take your unpleasant words to heart.
"Is it possible that your understanding of majesty is so shallow?"
Not only the second prince, but also the guest in white clothes and the girl holding the piano could not help but frown.
This Qin Feng is simply too presumptuous!
The second prince put down his identity and was willing to discuss these sensitive topics with Qin Feng.
It doesn't matter if Qin Feng is not grateful, but he is still pressing forward step by step.
This is really unreasonable.
Qin Feng thought to himself, I'm not even afraid of saints, so why should I be afraid of you, a fool?
He said bluntly: “Let’s put it this way.
"Even a stone-embedded clay sculpture with the word 'saint' written on it will be feared and awed by the world.
“The more saintly a person is, the more he has to grasp people’s hearts and become famous for his good deeds.
“As for killing decisively, that’s not what a saint should do.
"Among the ministers from the six bureaus and five temples in Kyoto, and the generals from all over Liang, who are not ruthless and decisive people?
"This group of people are all tools in the hands of the saint!
“If you are a saint and don’t even bother to pretend to be kind, then what else do you need the ministers to do?
"Your Highness, you know that if you take one step further, you will be a hero, and if you take a step further, you will be a tyrant. Can you handle this scale?"
The second prince was speechless for a moment.
In this life, I have always learned only one truth from the saints. The more ruthless you are, the more afraid others will be of you.
Only by being ruthless enough can the imperial power be stable.
But……
Today, Qin Feng gave himself a completely different understanding.
For most people, today’s saints are heroes!
To a small number of people, saints are undoubtedly tyrants.
No matter whether this small group of people is good or bad, traitorous or evil, one thing remains unchanged. They will do everything possible to avoid threats to themselves.
Obviously, Qin Feng has become one of this small group of people.
Qin Feng is not treacherous. On the contrary, he can fight bloody battles with Beidi in order to protect the territory of Daliang.
But in order to protect himself and the people around him, he had to stand on the opposite side of the saint.
The second prince woke up from a dream.
All wise men are kind-hearted, even if this kindness is pretended.
When the second prince looked at Qin Feng again, his eyes had undergone earth-shaking changes.
He stood up immediately and saluted Qin Feng: "Master Qin, if you are willing to help me, I am willing to swear to give the Qin family eternal glory.
"Not only will this reserve become a big deal in the future, I also hope that Lord Qin can assist me."
The second prince's rare sincerity almost moved Qin Feng.
However, Qin Feng stood up and returned the salute: "Your Highness, you will be as powerful as the saints today."
Hearing the word "hero", the second prince's heart had already gone cold.
Although the look in Qin Feng's eyes was still full of respect, his murderous intent also appeared.
"Master Qin, can you tell me why this is?"
Qin Feng did not hide it, and said neatly: "The two princes saw the open and secret fight between me and the saint today.
"The Second Highness is a hero who is exactly like a saint. How can he spare my life in the future?
"As for the oath His Highness just made...
"I would like to ask Your Highness, how much is the value of the oath compared with Daliang Jiangshan?"
The meaning of Qin Feng's words couldn't be more obvious.
Once the imperial power is threatened, the second prince will, like a saint, eliminate the hidden danger without hesitation.
As for the oath? I’m afraid it’s not even a fart!
In history, there have been few cases of withdrawal of death-free iron coupons. Which emperor can guarantee that he will never do anything to those around him after he enjoys the throne?
The second prince slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
At the beginning, when Qin Feng's foothold was not stable, it was difficult to recruit.
Nowadays, Qin Feng is so powerful that he will only become more shrewd and cautious than before.
While talking at this moment, Qin Feng had already seen the scene decades later.
The second prince couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly, because Qin Feng was right, as long as he inherited the throne, he would not hesitate to kill Qin Feng if he had the chance.
After all, the saint's situation today is all visible.
When the second prince opened his eyes again, his expression was extremely cold: "The Marquis of Qin is a master, if you leave my palace and go to Lao Qi's house.
“Ten years from now, I will be King Ming today.
"Since Lord Qin cannot be used by me, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
The man in white clothes on the side has slowly drawn out his sword.
Qin Feng knew very well that the second prince had murderous intentions, and the kind of killing he could do regardless of the consequences.
Maybe killing yourself will have countless chain reactions.
But... compared to inheriting the throne, what is this?
Looking at the bright sword in the hand of the guest in white, Qin Feng laughed: "Your Highness, since I dare to attend the banquet alone tonight, I naturally thought about all the consequences.
"When you see the saint today, you can see you in the future. Because of this, it is not difficult to guess your thoughts."
Qin Feng almost finished speaking.
The palace maid hurried over.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince is here."
The second prince's eyes suddenly condensed. The seventh prince had come at just the right time.
Combined with what Qin Feng said just now, the second prince's heart sank and he staggered a few steps.
Naturally, Qin Feng's entry into the palace could not be hidden from Lao Qi's eyes and ears.
If Lao Qi had come as soon as possible, he would have arrived a stick of incense.
Coming at this time shows that Lao Qi deliberately delayed.
Lao Qi had long expected that his relationship with Qin Feng would break down, and he even expected that he would be murderous.
Appearing at this time can not only save Qin Feng, but also "rob" Qin Feng halfway.
"Old Qi, you hide it so well!"
The second prince's eyes were filled with shock and anger.
Before that, although the second prince was wary of the seventh prince, he was only wary of his status.
As for the seventh prince's character, the second prince looked down upon him from the bottom of his heart and even looked down upon him.
In the second prince's mind, the seventh prince was just a sickly weakling.
"Brother Emperor, I heard that Qin Feng is here, and I came here to join in the fun. Don't you mind?"
The seventh prince walked over wrapped in a cloak with a relaxed look on his face.
The man in white had already retracted his sword and retreated behind the second prince.
The second prince's face was ashen, he clenched his fists suddenly, then slowly released them, forcing a smile.
"You and I are brothers, why do you say this?"
