A letter from Minister Liu?
A sharp look flashed in Xie Chengqian's eyes.
Liu Shilang...
This name is a taboo for the Nanyang Xie family! If it weren't for him, his 300,000-strong army would not have been completely wiped out! If it weren't for him, it would still be possible for him to get involved in Long Yan's situation!
Xie Chengqian looked at Gu Long quietly, with murderous intent emerging from his eyes.
Gu Long frowned: "Your Majesty, we have ceased war with Long Yan. This is diplomacy between the two countries and should not be mixed..."
"Okay, okay, read!"
Xie Chengqian was afraid of Gu Long. Anyway, he would seize the opportunity and teach himself a lesson, so he quickly sat up straight again.
Only then did Gu Long open the letter very solemnly.
At the first glance, he was a little stunned. He looked at Xie Chengqian, then at Changsun Qingrou, and then, after thinking for a moment, he said: "Your Majesty, I think it would be better to summon the civil and military ministers to read this letter in public. .”
"oh?"
Xie Chengqian was a little curious now.
Because he really couldn't imagine what this Liu Shilang wanted to say to him?
"Xuan!"
A big wave of his hand.
Soon, Xie Chengqian and the others moved to the palace hall in Nanyang.
Soon, the civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty in Nanyang also came after hearing the news. Xie Chengqian looked at this group of civil servants with no expression in his eyes. It was really because although these civil and military people were loyal to themselves, there were still some local aborigines among these people. He couldn't stand the dark-skinned ones. They were really wearing clothes with strong dragon flame style. It means going against harmony as much as possible.
Just get used to it.
Just get used to it.
Xie Chengqian thought silently in his heart.
Although, after so many years, he still hasn't gotten used to it.
As expected, Longyan is home.
He couldn't help but sigh again.
Civil and military officials knelt down again and shouted long live.
Xie Chengqian waved his hand and said: "My dear friends, I have summoned you all here temporarily because Liu Shilang has sent me a letter."
"What?"
"Shilang Liu?"
"Long Yan's letter?"
As expected, these civil and military ministers also looked at each other in shock.
The relationship between the two parties has reached a freezing point. What does this letter mean?
Can not guess.
No one can guess it.
Xie Chengqian chuckled and said, "Master Gu, read it out."
Gu Long nodded, walked to the hall, solemnly opened the letter, took a deep breath, and said loudly.
"King of Nanyang, I read the words as if they were letters, Liu Zheng of Liangzhou, I sincerely wish you happiness."
Everyone laughed when they heard the title "King of Nanyang". Speaking of which, this is funny. Long Yan before had no idea that these remnants of the Tang Dynasty had come to Nanyang, let alone the existence of these people. Later, when Xie Tianyao found out, he was so angry that he almost exploded. However, Nanyang was too far away, and Long Yan's national power at that time was beyond his reach. Besides, there was really no need to mobilize the whole country to conquer the "barren land" of Nanyang.
However, this Xie family does exist.
What to do?
Xie Tianyao had a sudden idea one day, since you insist on confronting Long Yan, then I will go to heaven and make you the "King of Nanyang" to make you feel disgusted. You are the king and I am the emperor. What can you do?
certainly.
Xie Chengqian would not admit it. He always felt that the Xie family of his own branch was the orthodox one.
Therefore, Liu Zheng used the word "King of Nanyang" at the beginning of the poem, which made him laugh out loud.
"Zheng grew up in Liangzhou and seldom heard of the Xie family in Nanyang. During the battle in Liaodong, he escaped by chance, but later found out that he was in the same room as him. Zheng was heartbroken!"
Xie Chengqian snorted coldly.
Are you heartbroken?
I’m just heartbroken! Three hundred thousand, that’s an army of three hundred thousand!
"However, where the official position is, the sun and the moon can tell. The dragon flames of the country have returned to the world. Since the emperor raised his army to endure the decline and chaos, and overthrow the cowardice, the people are happy to support him. For more than two thousand years, the ancestral temple has been uninterrupted, and the heaven and earth are peaceful. . The armored soldiers are strong and powerful, and the world is unified. The warehouses are overflowing, and the land is rich. My great dragon flames will come to court when all nations come!"
Xie Chengqian's eyelids twitched when he heard this.
Dragon Flame...
Why doesn't Long Yan's former glory belong to their branch, the Xie family?
and.
During the Tang Dynasty, Long Yan's reputation reached its peak!
"In the past, when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty ruled, the dragon flame was at its peak, creating a prosperous age and establishing the glory and majesty of a great country. Following the body to guard the text, control the heroes, facing south and below, all want to be worthy of virtue in heaven and earth, and be as bright as the sun and moon, and this branch will last for hundreds of generations. The legends are endless. However, all heads of state, who serve as kings and inherit the destiny of the sky, all preach without worry. Success will lead to the decline of the path! Those who have a good beginning are actually many, and those who can finish well are few. How can it be easy to get it? Is it difficult to maintain it? In the past, it was prosperous and there was more than enough, but now it is declining quickly, why?"
"The way of a monarch is to sincerely see what you want and think about it enough to discipline yourself; when you are about to do something, think about it and know it to calm others; civil and military affairs are relaxed, and the monarch and his ministers have nothing to do; they can enjoy the joy of traveling in Henan, and they can nourish pines and trees for a long time... "
"However, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty created a prosperous world in the world, and destroyed the monarch's way in the destiny of heaven. Since all the nations came to worship him, he relied on his strength and wealth to avoid future troubles. He drove the world to follow his own desires, exhausted all things to serve himself, and collected the daughters of the domain, seeking The difference in the distance. The palaces and gardens are decorations, the terraces and pavilions are lofty, corvee service is constant, and wars are constant. External troubles are serious, and there are many internal dangers. Those who slander evil will be blessed, and those who are loyal and upright must not protect their lives. The superiors and inferiors are shielded from each other, and the king and his ministers are in harmony. Separated, the people couldn't survive, and the land fell apart. So the king of the world died at the hands of a common man, his descendants died, and he made the world laugh!"
"this……"
"Be bold!"
"This Minister Liu... How can it be so reasonable? How can it be so reasonable!"
A group of people, civil and military, were furious when they heard this.
This passage first praises the Tang king for creating a prosperous age. As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to maintain it. However, in the early period of his reign, the King of Tang did an extremely good job in Shoucheng, and managed the Longyan Kingdom smoothly, and the world returned to its heart. Even attracting worship from all countries, it can be said that it was the Tang Dynasty that established the foundation of the Longyan Dynasty's "Celestial Kingdom". However... in the second half, it is said that in the later period of the Tang Dynasty's reign, the king gradually became arrogant and ignorant. Not only was he greedy for enjoyment, but he also squandered the country's power. At that time, he often used the power of the whole country to conquer other countries. Demonstrating the power of Longyan is for the majesty of this heavenly kingdom.
Unexpectedly, several conquests left Longyan's land empty, and a large number of adult men were lost, causing complaints among the people.
Therefore.
At that time, Longyan seemed prosperous, but in fact it was already strong on the outside but weak on the inside. But the king of Tang Dynasty at that time was already old and did not realize these problems.
Finally, abruptly, in the last few years of his reign, there was a nationwide famine, followed by domestic chaos.
The various governors began to rebel and rebel.
At this time, the Xie family of Xie Tianyao's branch took advantage of the chaos and gained a lot of prestige in suppressing the rebellion. They directly drove the Tang Wang's branch from the stage.
Therefore, in Liu Zheng's view, it is true that the Tang king created a prosperous age and was indeed worthy of respect from others, but it is also true that he became dim in the later period.
This is a man of mixed reputations.
Although he increased the corvee and made conquests all year round, it was his excessive use of troops at this time that led to the expansion of Longyan's current territory. This is why some people have always missed King Tang. He is considered to be the most successful emperor in the history of Long Yan.
But it is precisely because of this that the country is in turmoil...
Therefore, history is always so contradictory and ironic.
It seems that no one is ever perfect.
Others were extremely angry when they heard this, but Xie Chengqian's heart trembled when he heard it. He slowly closed his eyes and couldn't help but shed tears.
yes.
The original prosperous age of Longyan was created by his ancestors, and even the current huge territory of Longyan was conquered by them.
But……
It is also true that the Empress of the Tang Dynasty was extravagant. Otherwise, the world is still stable and the people still respect the emperor. How could they be driven to Nanyang by Xie Tianyao's group?
"I heard that those who seek the longness of trees must strengthen their roots. Those who wish to flow far away must dredge up the springs. Those who long for the safety of the country must accumulate virtue and righteousness! If the source is not deep and the stream is far away, if the roots are not solid and the roots are not solid, the roots of trees must be long. The virtues are not rich. Thinking about the principles of the country, although Zheng is a fool, he knows that it is impossible, how much worse than a wise man! A ruler should pay attention to the sacred weapon, do not think about living in peace and be prepared for danger, abstain from extravagance and be frugal. If the virtue is not rich, the emotion is not strong enough, so it is also necessary to cut down the roots. Asking for wood to grow, it is the person who blocks the source and wants to flow to the elders!"
Last hit!
Last hit!
The faces of everyone in the audience became ugly.
But seeing that Xie Chengqian didn't express anything, they could only listen quietly with angry eyes.
"Today, Longyan is stable, the weather is smooth, the reputation is widespread, and the people are happy. The Holy Master knows the virtuous and uses the virtuous, and has not been out for thirty years. He is frugal and moderate, and has great virtues. The world has returned to his heart. He is humble and quiet, and he stands in respect for the sound of virtue. The generals of Longyan carry three-foot swords to control the four seas. If you want to create a prosperous age in Longyan and shake the world again, you must be cautious. If you are arrogant, you will definitely be defeated! Don't give up the reward. Being alienated and punished is not a good thing, so be careful and cautious in this life, which is the way to be a king!"
"You are not a king to be lovable, but you are not a people to be feared! Be frugal and conservative, be sparing in gifts, be prudent in beginning and end, don't pick up things on the road, don't close your house at night, the dragon's flames are flourishing like never before."
"Who can shake such dragon flames?"
"Who can steal such dragon flames?"
"Who can mess with such dragon flames?"
"Who would want such dragon flames to collapse!"
Gu Long's voice lingered in this hall for a long time.
The entire audience was silent.
But as long as there were people with Longyan faces present, they couldn't help but clenched their fists.
Yes.
Today's Long Yan is very powerful, so powerful that Xie Chengqian felt a strong sense of powerlessness several times. Today's Longyan is very stable, so stable that even if there is any internal fighting, he would not dare to lead his troops back to Longyan. Today's Long Yan is very domineering, so domineering that the surrounding countries, even the Ottomans as far away as Central Asia, have to bow their heads...
Even if you don’t say it.
However, as Longyan people, they are also proud and proud!
This is a very contradictory mentality, but it does appear.
"The Nanyang Xie family, we share the same robes and talents. Why not celebrate the prosperity of Dragon Flame?"
"Why not consider the survival of the people?"
"The government of the King of Nanyang has an aspiration to be peaceful, takes the people's heart as its heart, and takes the people's way as its way."
"This is a great good thing!"
"Those who follow others will prosper, and those who enjoy others will perish. Those who know that the house leaks are under the roof, and those who know that the government is in ruins are in the grass. Today, the people in the grass, Liu Zheng sincerely advises, compatriots like me, we should stop defecting and seek common ground. Prosperity.”
"A country without righteousness will perish no matter how great it is. If a person has no good will, no matter how brave he is, he will be injured."
"The first step in cultivating ambitions is to secure oneself. The Nanyang Xie family has been drifting for a long time, and its foundation has not yet been established. It is really difficult to plan for the Central Plains."
"King of Nanyang, you should first seek to secure yourself, and then plan for conquest!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.
even.
For a moment, even breathing could not be heard in the hall.
Heartbreaking!
This letter from Liu Zheng is so heartbreaking!
