"...But if the King of Northern Liang doesn't accept the order, he has many ways to do it."
Regarding Huang Longshi's question, King Yan replied: "I said that Xu Fengnian is the king of Northern Liang, and the king has no right to choose."
"If Beiliang only has three states, then Xu Fengnian could choose not to accept Liyang's imperial edict, or even order that the edict should not enter Beiliang. But now, Beiliang can safely rule the eight states, relying on The prestige of the late old Northern Liang King. The more than 200,000 Northern Mang people chose to surrender to Northern Liang because of Xu Xiao. This imperial edict from Liyang not only negates Xu Xiao’s lifelong achievements for Liyang, but also It also denies the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Beiliang in the past twenty years, making everything they have done meaningless. Similarly, tell Xu Fengnian to wake up. Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian, father and son, defend Beiliang for the people of the world. And Liyang But he is seeking personal gain in the name of the people of the world. If Xu Fengnian doesn't show anything, the angry 500,000-strong Northern Liang army and the unnaturalized Beimang three states will become a raging fire that will burn down the world. "
"Li Yang's self-righteous temptation will eventually tear off Li Yang's last fig leaf."
Huang Longshi knew that none of this could be stopped, "It seems that everything is as you said, Li Yang is finished after all."
King Yan said calmly: "If virtue is not worthy of the position, there will be disaster; if virtue is weak but the position is high, if wisdom is small but the plan is big, if strength is small but the responsibility is heavy, it is rare to be inferior."
Huang Longshi, who ranked among the top three in the Spring and Autumn Period, naturally knew the source of King Yan's words, "from the "Book of Changes"."
King Yan said: "It describes Liyang's current situation very well, doesn't it? What do you think is the reason why Liyang has gone from being a small country in the Spring and Autumn Period in Liaodong with constant civil strife to being able to dominate the world now?"
Huang Longshi said in a deep voice: "It is thanks to the efforts of Xun Ping of Fajia, Yang Taisui of Binghu, Hong Benxi of Half Inch Tongue, Xu Xiao of Ren Tu and Gu Jiantang."
The landlady who was turned into Aunt Hong by King Yan stopped eating melon seeds when she heard Xun Ping's name.
Afterwards, he continued to crack melon seeds as if nothing had happened.
"Of course your help is indispensable here."
King Yan said in a low and calm tone: "Therefore, Liyang has a fatal flaw. Its emperor is not like the previous monarchs of Qin and Dafeng who can conquer the world immediately. If you rely on capable ministers to conquer the world, you will naturally be wary of them. Minister. He will doubt whether his world will fall into the hands of others if these capable ministers go to assist others. This is Li Yang's Achilles' heel, and also the reason why Xun Ping, Zhang Julu and others must die. Because the more capable they are, the more capable they are. The more people there are, the more they will arouse the jealousy of the Liyang royal family. This fear has penetrated into Liyang's bone marrow, and medicine and stone have no effect."
Huang Longshi sighed with emotion: "It was too easy for the Liyang Zhao family to obtain the world. It was so easy that they had the illusion that they could obtain the world through machinations. Therefore, every emperor of Liyang since the founding of the country has , all emphasize power and despise virtue."
King Yan took a sip of tea and continued: "Machinery without strength is tantamount to seeking death. And Liyang's only way of survival has been blocked by me."
Huang Longshi had already expected it, "There is indeed your handiwork on the Western Chu side. I heard that Aoxiao Hongchen once appeared in the Western Chu territory. I thought that after Cao Changqing left, even if the Western Chu country was restored, it would not pose much of a threat. . The Empress of Western Chu could do this without the guidance of Aoxiao Hongchen."
King Yan still said calmly: "Xi Chu will eventually counterattack, and this is Li Yang's own doing. I just go with the flow. Now you should understand, the reason why I can make such a smooth layout is because Liyang himself is the driver of the situation. And Liyang's plan, whether successful or not, will face the possibility of destroying the country. If Liyang had chosen to help Beiliang from the beginning, the eight states of Beimang would have become Liyang's With everything in his pocket, Li Yang would naturally not face such a situation. Even if Li Yang did not issue this imperial edict, he could still get a chance to breathe, and the situation would not have reached this point. The world will eventually be in chaos again It will take a while to heal."
Huang Longshi still refused to give up, "Can't Liyang be cured?"
King Yan showed sarcasm on his face and said: "Ha~ Huang Longshi, Huang Sanjia, one of the three great demons of the Spring and Autumn Period. A clever tongue, stirred up the affairs of the Spring and Autumn Period. Under his clever tongue, more than tens of millions of people died. I Is it time to laugh at you for being influenced by this false peace and becoming stupid?"
"Perhaps I am really getting old." Huang Longshi lamented: "After seeing twenty years of peace, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic. The death of Li Yang III is really sad."
King Yan thought it was Li Yang's fault, "Well, it's better than the death of the Second Emperor of Qin."
Huang Longshi sighed: "It is often ironic that a dynasty is trapped in a cocoon."
King Yan said coldly: "You need a cocoon to bind yourself. It is not an exaggeration to say that what Li Yang did was suicide. Li Yang had a chance to choose. He could choose not to kill Xun Ping, he could choose not to kill Wu Su, he could If you choose not to kill Zhang Julu, you can choose to appease the remnants of the old Chu, you can choose to use a gentle way to cut down the Tibetan tribe, or you can choose to support Beiliang in this unprecedented battle between Liang and Mang; you can even choose not to give Xu Xiao an evil posthumous title. .Liyang had too many opportunities to choose, but he also missed too many opportunities. History gave Liyang opportunities, but it finally used its actions to prove that Liyang could not afford the title of Lord of the World after all. "
Huang Longshi had thousands of words, but in the end they all turned into a long sigh, "Alas~"
As if thinking of something, Huang Longshi asked King Yan: "By the way, how did you make Gu Jiantang give up Li Yang?"
King Yan said calmly: "Is it necessary? If the fate of Xun Ping, Zhang Julu, Xu Xiao and others is not enough to alert this Liyang Dazhuguo, then he might as well change his name to Da Zhen."
Huang Longshi smiled and said, "That's right. At this point, Liyang has lost his heart. It is already destined that millions of stones of military rations in Liaodong will be burned. Tai'an City, in this restaurant, can say such treasonous words."
King Yan put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "Cherish these days. Because what you do next is not just about words, but actions."
After drinking the tea in the cup, King Yan stood up and planned to leave, his black cloak fluttering as he turned around.
Seeing this, Huang Longshi asked the last question, "The last question, why did Gu Jiantang turn to Beiliang instead of Xichu?"
"Because, I told him a truth." King Yan stopped and left.
Huang Longshi asked: "What is the truth?"
"There is no such person as Xu Tianjiao in this world."
King Yan clasped his hands and left, leaving the two people in shock.
"This truth..." Huang Longshi was silent for a long time, and finally said, "It's really unexpected. Xu Zizi, you have deceived the world for more than twenty years."
