night.
The sun is warm in March, and after the spring breeze blows, the warm sun will follow, making people feel happy. But at night, there is still a cool breeze, and if you are wearing thin clothes, you can still feel a little cool.
After the celebration banquet, the generals left, but Liu Bei brought a pot of wine, took Zhang Heng to the pavilion in the courtyard and sat across from each other, while waving his hands to dismiss everyone.
Seeing this posture, Zhang Heng couldn't help but feel a little confused.
What is Liu Daer doing?
"Ziyi, Dong Zhuo's army is coming."
Liu Bei poured Zhang Heng a glass of wine with his own hands, then filled it for himself, and said while drinking. His expression was no longer as relaxed and carefree as at the previous celebration banquet, but instead he was a little worried.
Zhang Heng didn't reply, just nodded, waiting for Liu Bei's next words.
"Tell me, what are our chances of winning?"
Liu Bei drank the wine in his glass, looked at Zhang Heng, and asked seriously.
Understand, Liu Daer was worried that he would not be able to defeat Dong Zhuo.
"Mr. Xuande is worrying too much." Zhang Heng shook his head and said with a smile, "With the elite soldiers and strong generals under our command, we will definitely not be defeated by the Dong thieves. Furthermore, the jujube coalition should arrive in the next two days, as well as the Jiangdong tiger Sun Wentai. …”
Before Zhang Heng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liu Bei with a wave of his hand.
"Ziyi, I want to hear the truth."
Liu Bei said in an unprecedented serious tone.
Looking at Liu Bei's burning gaze, Zhang Heng fell silent for a long time.
Liu Bei was not a fool. Of course he knew how powerful Dong Zhuo was.
Ever since the feudal lords of Guandong gathered together at the beginning of the year, although each shouted louder than the other, no one actually took action. Why?
Is it because the Kwantung Allied Forces are kind-hearted and don't want to kill?
It's not that he is afraid of the army in Dong Zhuo's hands.
If Dong Zhuo was really so easy to control, there would be no time for Liu Bei to take the lead in sending troops. The Suizao gang would have already swarmed up and devoured Dong Zhuo.
Although I didn’t have a winning streak before, there was always an element of luck involved. If we really want to start a fight to the death, I'm afraid Liu Bei is still fighting in Juan County and Xu Rong.
After a long silence, Zhang Heng bowed his hand to Liu Bei.
"Does Mr. Xuande want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Of course I want to hear the truth." Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Ziyi, there are only you and me here. There is no need to hold back. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"When Duke Xuande inquires, I dare not remain silent. But before I speak, I have a question that I would like to ask Duke Xuande first," Zhang Heng said.
"Then you say it first."
"May I ask Mr. Xuande, what do we seek when we send out troops this time?"
Liu Bei said sternly: "Of course we will kill Dong's thieves and help the country."
"Well, if the Dong thief is eliminated now, where should we go?"
"Of course, we will enter Luoyang and rescue the emperor."
"Then what?"
"Then……"
When Liu Bei said this, he suddenly stopped and frowned, as if he had thought of something.
"Xuan Degong, even if there is no Dong thief, those Guandong princes can help the Han Dynasty and bring a bright future to the people?" Zhang Heng asked with a smile, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"This..." Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Of course it's impossible."
Recalling the faces of the jujube princes, expecting them to govern the world well is like a meeting of eunuchs - nonsense.
"Since we can't, it doesn't matter whether we can defeat Thief Dong." Zhang Heng sighed lightly.
"this……"
Liu Bei was speechless for a moment and had no words to reply.
No matter what I do, the big man will be saved, right?
"I don't agree with Ziyi's words." Liu Bei suddenly shook his head and said, "Everything depends on people. Those who are ministers should serve the country with all their loyalty. They should protect the emperor and bring peace to the people. How can they avoid it because of dangers?"
Zhang Heng waved his hand and said: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Xuande. I didn't say that I would avoid it or ignore it. However, the chaos in this world is not the fault of Thief Dong alone. Naturally, it can only be solved by destroying Thief Dong." ."
"If it's not Dong's fault, then whose fault is it?" Liu Bei asked quickly.
Zhang Heng smiled, his eyes a little blurry.
"No one is right, but everyone is wrong."
"this……"
Liu Bei couldn't help but glare at Zhang Heng.
The Riddler again, right?
"Ziyi, you might as well speak more clearly."
"It depends on what Duke Xuande wants to ask? How to kill the Dong thief, how to help the Han Dynasty, or how to reorganize the world and benefit the common people." Zhang Heng tilted his head, and what he said seemed to have profound meaning.
This sentence seems to be asking Liu Bei to choose, but it is actually asking about Liu Bei's ambition.
At the same time, it also revealed a message: I, Zhang Ziyi, can answer all your questions!
Liu Bei naturally understood, and immediately stood up, straightened his clothes with great solemnity, and said to Zhang Heng: "Now the world is in chaos, traitors are going out of their way. The country is in danger, and the people are in danger.
Although Bei is not talented, he is also a descendant of Emperor Jing and the blood of Gaozu. I am willing to use my meager strength to help the Han family, spread benevolence and righteousness all over the world, and relieve the hardships of the people. I hope Ziyi can teach me! "
Hehe, Liu Daer, you are quite greedy, you actually want to have them all.
With this thought in his mind, Zhang Heng quickly stood up and avoided Liu Bei's salute.
"You don't have to be like this, Mr. Xuande. Please sit down."
With that said, Zhang Heng picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured Liu Bei a glass.
If you don't have anything to do tonight, let's teach Liu Da'er a lesson.
"Xuan Degong has many doubts in his mind. It's a long night, so we might as well talk about them one by one." Zhang Heng raised his glass and took a sip, smiling lightly.
With Zhang Heng's foreshadowing just now, Liu Bei's problem has changed from how to defeat Dong Zhuo to how to support the country.
"Ziyi, you just said that even without Thief Dong, the world is destined to be in turmoil. So I want to know how to make the world peaceful."
This time Zhang Heng did not become the Riddler again, but planned to answer the question in detail.
“Mr.
"I beg Ziyi to give me some advice."
"It has been more than four hundred years since our great ancestor killed the snake uprising and annihilated the violent Qin Dynasty. It has been more than four hundred years since our Han Dynasty passed down the inheritance. Now I am like an octogenarian, already very old and terminally ill. Ordinary medicines have lost their effectiveness. If you want to regain your life, We have to give him the medicine of a tiger or a wolf!”
"What is the medicine of tiger and wolf?"
Zhang Heng smiled slightly, his tone gentle and calm.
"Sweep out all the disobedient thieves, break all old systems, and replace this world with the human world."
"What!"
Liu Bei cried out, his eyes full of disbelief.
Ziyi, do you want to play so big?
He fully understands the resistance to doing so and the poor success rate.
"Xuande Gong Mingjian has never been broken or established since ancient times. Only after a big break can there be a big stand. This is the reincarnation of heaven. Only in this way can I, the great man, be reborn in the fire and be reborn!"
"But……"
Zhang Heng waved his sleeves and said resolutely: "There is no but, if Mr. Xuande wants to achieve his great ambition, there is only one way to go!"
Any dynasty is built on the ruins of the previous dynasty. Only by breaking away from the old chain of interests and killing all the vested interests can there be no constraints and redistribution of interests can be carried out.
Because there were no vested interests, the system in the early years of the dynasty could basically meet the needs of most people, and naturally the world was peaceful.
However, as time goes by, some people will always find gaps in the system, and then exploit the loopholes to strengthen themselves and become vested interests in the new system.
In an era of limited productivity, the more benefits these people receive, the less benefits most people receive, and the more unfair the distribution of resources becomes.
At this time, system reform is needed.
Of course, those with vested interests will jump out at this time and obstruct anyone with lofty ideals who want to reform.
In the end, vested interests occupied more and more resources, and the common people had fewer and fewer resources, so few that they could no longer survive, and rebellions and uprisings naturally emerged.
In the flames of war and blood, the vested interests and the resources they grabbed were eventually burned and completely destroyed.
A new dynasty is rising again.
After the person...everything starts to cycle again.
The strange cycle of history is like this, just like the cycle of reincarnation, future generations will mourn and ignore it, which will also make future generations mourn for future generations.
Today's Han Dynasty is at the end of a dynasty where vested interests have occupied too many resources. It may collapse at any time, and there is no point in patching things up.
Zhang Heng even planned to give it another kick to make it collapse faster and make the next era come faster.
In this way, the common people can suffer less and the common people can be preserved to the maximum extent.
Just like the Eastern Han Empire established by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, although the country was also named Han, everything about the previous dynasty had long been buried. Apart from the same names, the conservative Eastern Han Dynasty and the enterprising Western Han Dynasty have nothing to do with each other.
What Zhang Heng wants to do is to assist Liu Bei in building another big man, a big man who is the same in name but has actually been completely transformed!
