Liu Yi said dissatisfiedly: "What's the point of being an emperor if you can't make your own decisions?"
Liu Tingyun laughed: "If you become the emperor, you can have the final say on everything. You will be a single husband, and you are not far away from being a thieves. Then you will be surrounded by sycophants, and your eyes will be covered. , your ears will be blocked, and you will have no idea what is happening outside or how people in the world are doing, just like when you are in a war, if you become deaf and blind, you do not know the enemy's situation, nor the situation of your own soldiers. , Do you think this feels good? It looks majestic holding a general’s flag?”
Liu Yi sneered and said: "I will never let such a thing happen. Look at what Afan went to do just now. I just want him to explore the way to find out the enemy's situation. He must report to me every hour. If he does not rely on this information, , how can I manage the army? If I become an emperor in the future, let alone, I will never let my eyes and ears be blocked."
Liu Tingyun shook her head: "If you want to have great power in your hands and control the life and death of the people in the world, you will become more and more closed-minded, self-centered, and do not trust anyone. Even Liu Fan, you will be on guard, even your You will no longer trust your biological sons, because the more they are related to you by blood, the more legitimate they are to inherit your throne. In other words, those who want you to die the most will be your close relatives. !”
Liu Yi was speechless for a moment, his eyes sparkled, and he fell into thinking.
Liu Tingyun sighed: "Since ancient times, there have been no fathers and sons before the imperial power. Ever since Qin Shihuang invented the emperor, fathers and sons have become enemies and killed each other. The most typical situation is the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Dynasties, which directly destroyed the country and the family. Everyone Finished together, this is the destruction of human nature by imperial power. Once you have the power to control life and death in the world, you will become the target of everyone. By then, even your brothers, father and son will be the ones who want your life. How can you do it again? Does anyone really care about you?"
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "I can set up different yamen and have multiple sources of intelligence. I will not listen to partial beliefs or concentrate power and intelligence in one person's hands. I don't believe it. Everyone in the world wants it." There are no loyal ministers or good generals under the emperor’s orders!”
Liu Tingyun smiled and looked at Liu Yi: "Xile, you now hold a heavy army and are a high official in the border area. Are you a loyal minister and a good general? Is Liu Yu a loyal minister and a good general?"

Liu Yi was so choked that he couldn't even speak a word. He stood there blankly, his hand holding the railing getting tighter and tighter.
Liu Tingyun sighed: "If you ascend the throne as a prince and have a normal succession, maybe the people's hearts will be stable and you will abide by the ethics of king, king, minister, father, father and son. But if you really ascend the throne as emperor, you will be He Huan. Xuan is like a usurping minister. If you set the example, others will follow suit. This theory that imperial power is inherited as destiny will gradually be believed by no one. The ministers around you are afraid that you will kill them if you are unhappy, so I only pick out the good things you like to hear, but it’s a pity that most of them are bad things in this world, and there aren’t many good things.”
"If your generals go out to conquer and fight, and make great achievements like you and Liu Yu, they will have self-respect, and they will have prestige in the army. Gradually they will be like you now, with a big tail, and become a The Empire's most formidable enemy."
"Although your brothers and nephews are your closest relatives, they are also the legal successors to the throne because of their blood relationship. They don't even have to wait until you die. They can start an army while you are still alive, or even Directly attack the palace with the palace's private soldiers. Xile, how did you assassinate Diao Kui back then? You should know this best. The thing that turns into an elbow and armpit and brings disaster to Xiao Qiang cannot be stopped by thousands of troops! Maybe it only takes a quarter of an hour. Time will determine the fate of the world!"
Liu Yi bit his lip and sneered: "After all, you want to say how terrible imperial power is. Could it be that the position of emperor is placed in front of you, and when you have the opportunity to be the emperor, will you choose not to? Liu Tingyun, if you have me now With your ability and my army, I don’t think you will hesitate to make yourself queen!”
Liu Tingyun smiled slightly: "I will accept my son sitting on the throne, and I will accept my husband sitting on the throne, and let them rule the world from the front. As a woman, being a queen like Empress Lu is enough to satisfy my power. I want it. Moreover, I will let my man and my son know that the more power in this world is controlled to death, and the more they just want to keep it in their own hands, the more dangerous it will be. As long as it is impossible for one person to govern the country, no matter how hard it is, it will be more dangerous. Maybe one person controls the army to fight, so power will inevitably be decentralized. If power is passively distributed, the person who has the power will not be grateful to you, and will only think about further replacing you. In this case, why not start with the rule of monarch and ministers? Where is the road?"
A cold light flashed in Liu Yi's eyes: "The co-governance you are talking about means that the mafia guards take turns to be the emperor, like the kind of co-governance of the Jin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period, where the emperor has no real power?"
Liu Tingyun nodded: "Yes, the world we Black Hand Qiankun really want is this kind of world. The king or emperor becomes the co-owner of the world, or he can become the leader of a family, the most powerful one, but it may not be a hereditary throne for his descendants. . Just like the generals of the three armies of the Jin State, they can take turns to control the state affairs by other families and other guards. In this way, the world has changed from the governance of one person to the governance of a group of people. The position of the king can also be the same as that of the previous Jin Dynasty. Just like the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, we take turns taking the position according to merit and reputation, so that everyone has a chance."
Liu Yi sneered and said: "Let your son not inherit the throne, but give it to others. I don't think many people can accept your idea. It is a noble family in the Jin Dynasty. Could it be that it has been passed down and continued? Is it a trick? Isn’t it the case that the three families are divided into Jin and the six ministers are in civil war? Whether one person is in power or a group of people is in power, in the end, they are unwilling to share it with others!"
Liu Tingyun sighed: "This is just an ideal of mine. How to implement it specifically? If you enter the underworld in the future, we can discuss it slowly. Sometimes, I myself also feel that like Liu Yu, everyone in the world can Reading and writing, everyone becomes a scholar and has the opportunity to become an official or a general. This may be the final solution. If that day comes, maybe aristocratic families and noble families can become legends like the ancient kings. , withdrew from history. However, before that, I will still stick to my duty as a child of the aristocratic family and adhere to the system of this aristocratic family and the world. Therefore, we need powerful ministers and generals like you, Xile, to fight against Liu Yu."
