Seeing that Emperor Dafeng was visiting, Emperor Jianwu quickly interrupted his life as a hermit and went out to the main gate to greet him in person.
This historic meeting was not as majestic as imagined. On the contrary, the conversation between them was more like casual chatter, which sounded ordinary.
It was nothing surprising, but it didn’t mean it wasn’t profound. After the exchange, Li Hongyu felt that he had benefited a lot and sighed that the trip was well worth it.
Before leaving, he formally invited the old monk to come to China as a guide for his future political career. After careful consideration, the monk finally agreed happily. ap..
He still has a reluctance to leave his motherland. If he can revisit his homeland when the sun is declining, it will be worth taking some risks.
So, they both set off together.
When traveling to Qiongzhou, Li Hongyu suddenly heard that the political situation in Dafeng was suddenly turbulent. Qi Shaobao, who was at the height of his power, was unfortunately affected by the dark waves and fell into it. At that moment, Nanyang sent troops to question, and Mobei held his halberd and knocked at the pass. In an instant, he became murderous and trembling.
The only good news is: Father is awake!
Li Hongyu considered the situation carefully and finally decided to postpone his return to Beijing and settle temporarily in Qiongzhou. After landing, he immediately found his sister Mu Ziqing, who then arranged a meeting with his father...
After listening to the above explanation, Li Liangji couldn't help but frowned.
His son valued Emperor Jianwu so much and even specially invited him to visit China as a guide for his political career. Could it be that he became interested in the so-called constitutional monarchy?
In his understanding, the monarch under that system was not a real monarch, but more like a mascot for decoration.
Thinking of this, Li Liangji coughed dryly and asked his son: "Could it be that the emperor wants to imitate that system?"
Regarding this sensitive topic, Li Hongyu did not avoid it but chose to treat it calmly. He nodded and replied seriously: "To be honest with my father, I do have this intention."
"What on earth is this...?"
"Just adapting to the times."
Li Hongyu hesitated for a while before explaining in detail: "Father, the world today is very different from before. It is no longer appropriate to use the methods left by our ancestors to govern the country."
"Could it be that...the emperor is worried that Nanyang and Mobeiwei will not be lost? Or do you think that the current Dafeng court is no longer able to control the place?" Li Liangji thought for a while and asked.
"What the father said is true!" Li Hongyu expressed his approval, and then said: "With the continuous expansion of territory in recent years, Dafeng's territory has become unimaginably vast. Frankly speaking, for those new The increased territory was beyond the reach of the imperial court. Not only could it not strengthen the cornerstone, it became a burden. The reason why everything was stable before was entirely due to Qi Shaobao's reputation and intimidation. Now that he is driving west, hidden problems have become apparent. I It is estimated that before long, Dafeng will show signs of splitting, and there will even be wars."
Li Liangji agreed in his heart but said: "The emperor is overly worried. Qi Yu is currently missing for some reason, and his death has not been truly confirmed. Before the coffin is sealed in Dali Temple, any possibility exists."
Hearing this, the old monk suddenly laughed lightly.
From the looks of it, he didn't seem to agree with what the Supreme Emperor said.
Li Liangji was not angry about this, but asked with a smile: "Why are you laughing? Could it be that my words were inappropriate?"
The monk nodded warmly and said: "The Supreme Emperor is talented and far-sighted. He is a well-known moral king. Now that he is getting older, why has his eyesight become shallower?" Seeing the other party's confusion, he added: "The poor monk believes that no matter whether Qi Shaobao or not, Alive, in power or not, Dafeng will eventually be unable to resist the general trend. If he does not adjust the legal system in time to adapt to the changing circumstances, it will only be a matter of time before he is destroyed."
Li Liangji smiled casually and said: "Strictly speaking, the words of the Venerable are not wrong. From ancient times to the present, no dynasty can last forever. The rules of founding, governing, prosperous times, decline, resurgence, and destruction are exactly the same. , and so on. Although Dafeng is prosperous, it is no exception. It will eventually become a passer-by in history and cannot escape the fate of destruction. This really has nothing to do with whether Qi Yu is in power or not." Kanshu La
After a pause, he added: "However, His Holiness's words are too grand and realistic.
Medium is of little significance. "
The old monk shook his head and said: "But that's not the case! If we say that the constitutional monarchy can allow Da Feng to avoid this disaster, will the royal family consider adopting it? If so, it can resolve the current siege in the near future and change the future in the long term. fate."
Li Liangji's face turned cold when he heard this, and he looked at him sideways and said, "Could it be that the Reverend is here to lobby? Otherwise, how could he be so respected?"
"Lobbyist? Haha..." The monk laughed heartily and said, "The poor monk is just an idler. He has long been far away from fame and fortune. If he is so innocent, what benefit does lobbying for great favors do to me?"
"Then, what's your motive for coming here?"
"To tell you the truth, Dafeng is the hometown of the poor monk. Although I am thousands of miles away, I have always been dreaming about it. I was born and raised here, and my love for my hometown is really hard to explain. Now, I would like to offer my words and suggestions to my motherland every time I meet. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss this opportunity? Also, although I am a monk, I still belong to the Li family lineage. It is a great honor to be able to share the worries of my family. If I have to ask for anything, it is just death. It’s just a burial place for the deceased’s bones. It’s my long-cherished wish to return the fallen leaves to their roots, and I hope the royal family can fulfill it. I don’t seek to enter the Ancestral Temple or the Ancestral Temple, I just seek a place to hold the coffin. That’s enough.”
It is difficult to move from the homeland, and the fallen leaves return to their roots.
This is in line with human common sense.
Hearing this, Yin Jun, who had said nothing before, suddenly said to Li Liangji: "This old monk is rich and safe in Dahua. There is really no need to come to the muddy waters of Dafeng. Wei Chen thinks that he This is generally believable.”
At this time, Li Hongyu also winked at his father, and his meaning was indeed true.
Li Liangji nodded and said: "If you can really tell the truth, what's the harm in being admitted to the ancestral temple? We are from the same sect, so this favor can still be given. I don't know how the new system can resolve the current situation. Wei, how can it change the future energy?"
The monk straightened his expression and said: "The current Mobei knocking off the pass and the Nanyang questioning were all caused by improper handling of disputes in the political arena. As long as the female perpetrators are severely punished and shown compassion and comfort, the harmony of the past can be restored. As long as However, the rift between the center and the local area was difficult to repair, and over time there would be secondary disasters. Qi Jingxiong stayed in Mobei for a long time, and his only worry was that he might be liquidated by the royal family in the future, so he stayed here. Hand. The idea on the other side of Nanyang is not much different, but they just left their retreat in Dahua. It can be seen that this gap has been buried for a long time, and it is not new today. "
Li Liangji said "Hmm" and spread his hands to indicate that he should continue.
The monk continued: "If Da Feng reformed the shortcomings, pursued innovation, and implemented this system, then the royal family would move from the temple to the backstage. Once the hanging sword is gone, the gaps will no longer exist. If this system can be promoted, the same system will be implemented Dahua of Dahua will definitely become his brother-in-law ally, and Nanyang is of the same line as Dahua, so he will naturally advance and retreat with him. Mobei mainly depends on Nanyang's actions. If Nanyang attaches sincerely, Qi Jing will fade away. No worries. That’s why I said that this system can fundamentally resolve the conflict between the royal family and ministers.”
Li Liangji looked thoughtful, but also seemed to have some realization, and asked: "Then, what is the meaning of changing the future energy?"
The monk took a sip of tea and said: "As the old saying goes, it is easier to conquer a country than to defend it. Most of the pampered princes and grandsons are not as good as the previous generation. Even if a moral emperor occasionally appears, it is just to accumulate more wealth for the future. In the end, we still cannot escape the sorrow of change.”
"However, if the government is returned to the people and administered by the people, the phenomenon of officials and people opposing each other will no longer exist. Without conflicts, there will be no uprisings by the people, and the country's destiny will naturally be prolonged. Under this system, the royal family still maintains a hereditary , without losing glory and wealth, except for the loss of power, everything else remains the same as before. This move not only benefits the country and the people, but also takes into account the interests of the royal family, which can be said to complement each other."
