Zhu Gaojie and Lu Chaoyang were walking on a secluded road. At this time, the slanting moon was already hanging in the sky, and the dotted stars could be vaguely seen. The breeze was supporting the willows, and it was depressed and empty.
"After Li Xuan takes office, find a reliable person to kill him on the way." Zhu Gaojie said.
Lu Chaoyang was stunned: "Your Majesty, that's not the case."
After Li Xuan defected to Prince Qi's Mansion, although he had ulterior motives, it seemed that he didn't make any big mistakes on the whole. He just met both sides and did nothing.
Now that he is about to retire, it would not make much sense to kill Li Xuan.
"When the Han Dynasty fell, the prince and I were evenly matched. Both sides were absorbing the remaining forces of the Han Dynasty. After Li Xuan defected to me, I promoted him to the position of Zuo Du Yushi. It's not that I valued him too much. He just used Li Xuan to appease the Hanwang Party officials who defected to me."
Zhu Gaojie said calmly, "Of those Hanwang Party officials who defected to me, how many of them defected to me sincerely? I don't care about any of this. The rules in the officialdom are to each get what he needs. It is impossible to expect everyone to be loyal to me." Geng Geng, I really needed the support of these officials at that time, and I have always had a tolerant attitude towards this. Li Xuan's rise to power was also for these people to see."
Lu Chaoyang was puzzled: "Then why do you want to kill Li Xuan now?"
"Old Lu, you are killing the chicken to scare the monkey." Zhu Gaojie sighed, "Now I no longer need the support of those Han Wang Party officials. These people are just the icing on the cake for me now."
Lu Chaoyang suddenly understood: "Does the prince want to kill Li Xuan in order to frighten the Han Dynasty officials who defected to you?"
"You finally understand." Zhu Gaojiu said with a smile, "These people, on the surface, are loyal to our Prince Qi's Palace, but in their hearts they are thinking of the Palace of Han in Shandong. They are making calculations, thinking about hedging their bets, while They work for our Prince Qi’s Palace while receiving money from the Prince of Han’s Palace. They can get promoted by working for our Prince Qi’s Palace, and they receive money from the Prince of Han’s Palace to get favors. After all, they are all from the Prince of Han’s Palace. They are thinking in their hearts that one day I, Prince Qi, will If it doesn’t work, the King of Han will come to power again, and there will be a way out when the time comes.”
"These people have pretty good ideas." Lu Chaoyang sneered.
There is no leakage from both sides. One side takes power and the other side takes money. No one can be offended. You can turn your back on others at any time, and there will always be a way out behind you.
He now finally figured out why the prince wanted to kill Li Xuan.
When Li Xuan died, he killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, and used it to frighten the former Han Dynasty officials who defected to Prince Qi's Mansion. It was equivalent to putting a knife on these people's necks and forcing them to take sides.
Your abacus is sharp, and our knives are sharpened.
At the end of the day, your abacus is stronger, or my knife is faster.
…
"The calculations are too deep, the heart is too ruthless, and the actions are too decisive. If a person like you becomes the emperor, he will either be an emperor like Zheng Ge, who has infinite fortunes, or he will be a subjugated king like Yang Guang, who is one step behind."
In the world in his mind, Li Shimin said with emotion.
Zhu Gaojiu chuckled lightly and said: "I dare not compare with Brother Zheng. As for Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty, if he died in time in the fifth year of Daye, I am afraid he would become one of the most outstanding emperors in history."
After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne, he chose for himself the most majestic two characters in his reign title in history.
--great cause.
Although the Sui Dynasty had been unified, rejection reactions continued to occur between the north and the south, just like organs that had just been surgically connected.
Nearly four hundred years of separation have created clear differences between the south and the north.
The South is economically prosperous, but the North has poor land. The southerners think that the northerners are bastards, vulgar and uncultured; the northerners regard the southerners as the conquered, timid and cowardly. The two places looked at each other as if they were from different races.
In fact, not many people thought that the unification of the Sui Dynasty would last long. The subjects who were accustomed to war and disputes were subconsciously preparing for the next betrayal, coup, or change of dynasty.
Yang Guang used his finger to draw vigorously on the map from south to north: To transform the unity of the empire from appearance to spiritual integration, a major artery was needed to connect the north and the south, connecting the north and the south together.
Only in this way can the entire nation be able to feel refreshed and have blood flowing through it.
He did two things. One was to move the capital to Luoyang at the junction of the north and the south. The other was to build the Grand Canal. He spent five years welding the north and the south together and welding the national spirit of the Han people. .
In the first five years of his ascension to the throne, Yang Guang was a great man.
But after these first five years, he spent another nine years destroying the empire that he had personally pushed to its peak.
Li Shimin, who developed a great empire from the remains of the Sui Dynasty, frowned slightly: "I know Yang Guang very well, and I know you very well. In my eyes, you are very similar to him, very ambitious."
"I heard you talk about Yang Guang before." Big brother Ying Zheng said, "But I don't think Xiao Zhu and him are the same kind of people."
"What do you think, Brother Zheng?" Li Shimin asked.
Ying Zheng coughed lightly and said: "In the eyes of few people, although Yang Guang has great ambitions, he can't see clearly how to take the road to the end. If he wants to use a wooden nail to prop up a magnificent palace, he will only end up with nothing." Crush the wooden nails into powder. Your assessment of Xiao Zhu is right. This kid is too calculating, too ruthless, too cruel in his actions, and he has the ambition to swallow up the world. But if I compare him with Yang Guang later, I don’t think so. Agreed, Xiao Zhu may seem exaggerated when doing things, but in fact he has already made a good plan in his mind. Every time he makes a plan, he must first calculate all the worldly affairs and only take action when the victory is in hand."
Li Shimin was a little surprised: "Brother Zheng spoke so highly of Xiao Zhu?"
"He knows how to use a hammer. If he was really that accurate in judging people, would Great Qin be dead for two generations?" Bai Qi mocked mercilessly.
Everyone in the mental world regarded Ying Zheng as their big brother and respected him extremely, but Ren Tu Baiqi didn't give him any face. Every time Ying Zheng spoke, he came to undermine him.
Bai Qi: It’s time to show off. I am King Qin’s biggest fan.
Ying Zheng said angrily: "You really should sew your mouth shut!"
Even though Ying Zheng always had a good temper, he couldn't stand Bai Qi's constant ridicule. Every time the scars were opened and salt was poured on him, no one else could bear it.
Bai Qi kept saying three words to the King of Qin, either criticizing Ying Zheng or the previous kings of Qin Dynasty.
Li Si, who was still watching the show, walked away after hearing these words.
He couldn't stand it and was in vain!
Damn it, isn't it recorded in the history books that "Wu'an Junbai has been taciturn, tolerant and decisive since he was a child"? What a taciturn bitch!
This guy is simply the number one troll in the Qin Dynasty. His mouth is like honey, and he keeps scolding him. Even Su Qin, the number one lobbyist of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, had to bow down when he saw it!
