"If you are an enemy, you have only two choices: life and death or being conquered..." Longri Kuangyang looked at Chongyuan with interest and said calmly: "But the opponent is different. For both sides, the position of the opponent exists. Lots of variables."
"I admire the arrogance of the Wolf Lord very much..." A cunning light flashed in Chongyuan's eyes, and he said with a faint smile: "But the words of the Wolf Lord are a bit too sure, because even the enemy has variables. Because I I believe that there are no permanent enemies in this world, and there are no permanent friends. There is a subtle factor hidden between enemies and friends, called interests. Whichever way the interests lean, that will be where the balance between friends and enemies will turn. One side is tilted."
Long Ri Kuangyang's eyebrows sank slightly, and he asked slowly: "But I don't know where the relationship between you and me will turn now?"
"I came here tonight not to make friends with the Wolf Lord, because you and I have not yet become friends." Chong Yuan said very frankly. He smiled and said, "I have already said that I am here. Cooperate with the Wolf Lord, because the relationship of allies is the most real and reliable to you and me."
Longri Kuangyang nodded slightly and said calmly: "What you said is not unreasonable, but you also said that there are interests in any relationship. If you want to form an alliance with my Feng Yan Department, are there any interests that can make me tempted? "
Chong Yuan smiled deeply and said with certainty: "Now that I'm here, I'm sure I can impress the Wolf Lord."
Long Ri Kuangyang looked at the evil man in front of him and said in a low tone: "I have already recognized your personal ability. If you were born in the Northern Wilderness, you will definitely be a good person in the world. But when talking about Before anything else, I need a definite answer, and that is your identity when you come here tonight. Do you represent the Holy Legend of the West, or is it just you?"
As soon as these words came out, Chong Yuan's expression changed somewhat strangely in the darkness.
He lowered his head slightly, seeming to be thinking.
It is undeniable that the problem of Long Sun Kuangyang is extremely acute.
Longri Kuangyang stared at him closely, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Although you have a noble status in the Western Territory and also hold the supreme authority, you are not the master of the Holy Tradition, because above you, there is a Saint Missionary Lord. So even though you are here in person, I still have reason to question your sincerity in bringing up the alliance."
Chong Yuan suddenly raised his head slowly, his eyes as sharp as swords, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord Wolf, do you know what kind of person my Holy Master is?"
Longri Kuangyang smiled faintly: "Although I don't know your Holy Tradition very well, since I can make someone like you a willing subordinate, I believe that the leader of the Holy Tradition is definitely not an ordinary person."
A complicated look appeared on Chong Yuan's brows, but his tone was extremely firm. He nodded slowly and said, "What Lord Wolf said is true. My Saint Master is capable of transcendence. Although she is a woman, even if she looks at the world of Jiuzhou, There are only a handful of people who can rival her.”
A look of surprise flashed across Long Ri Kuangyang's eyes. It must have been Chong Yuan's words that shocked his heart. But this expression disappeared immediately, and he said in a calm tone: "It is unexpected that a woman can become the master of a realm. I really want to meet such a person, but unfortunately only the one who came tonight is It’s just you.”
When Chong Yuan heard this, his expression did not change, but his hands in his sleeves suddenly clenched.
Regardless of whether Long Ri Kuangyang's words were intentional or not, Chong Yuan felt a sense of contempt from them, which made his calm heart suddenly sting.
Chong Yuan secretly took a deep breath, unclenched his fist, and said solemnly: "Lord Wolf, you can get rid of these regretful words, because having me here is enough."
Long Ri Kuangyang suddenly let go of his arms, tilted his upper body slightly, and fixed his gaze on Chong Yuan's face, as if he wanted to see him clearly.
Chong Yuan looked at him coldly and never gave in.
"I can see that you are not only courageous, but also courageous, and even more ambitious. To use a Chinese saying, people like you are definitely not a thing in the pool..." Longri Kuangyang's words were filled with admiration, "If it weren't for these The reason is that I won’t say another word to you here. I don’t mean to belittle your identity, but there is one thing I must make clear. Is the person who proposed the intention of forming an alliance your leader or you? Chongyuan?"
Seeing that Chong Yuan looked solemn and did not answer, he added nonchalantly: "Although you are not a creature in the pool, I would like to know whether people like you, in addition to courage, also have the kind of courage and courage. Unique courage?"
After saying this, Long Ri Kuangyang's gaze was like a nail on Chong Yuan's face, and he never moved an inch again.
The questions he asked required an accurate and firm answer.
Chong Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Lord Wolf may not know that in order to practice martial arts without any distractions over the years, my Saint Master has given me most of the power, and I have full authority to handle the affairs of the sect. So the question of Lord Wolf , doesn’t seem to make much sense.”
"You're wrong." Longri Kuangyang was obviously dissatisfied with the other party's specious answer. He shook his head and said: "I don't care how powerful and extraordinary the leader you say is, but it doesn't matter to me, because now in front of me It’s just you. So the affirmative answer must be said by you yourself, and this is the sincerity I want.”
Chong Yuan's face darkened again in the flickering light of the fire, and he secretly clenched his fists again. He didn't know what the other party meant by his pressing words, but it was not easy for him to answer in the affirmative immediately. Because once that answer is spoken, it means that many things will change dramatically.
But no one knew that the answer had already been derived deep in Chong Yuan's heart. He couldn't remember exactly when it started. It was just a casual thought at first, but as time went by, that thought was like a branch injected with the nutrients of the secret demon, and it began to multiply and grow in his heart, and finally it gradually multiplied. Ye Mao turned into a towering tree containing endless desires. That desire was like a raging fire, burning him until he was in pain, but at the same time he was extremely longing for it. So he began to value his own abilities, because only if he is strong enough can he match his power. So he began to gradually gain power and became increasingly powerful.
But he couldn't let this big tree continue to grow, and he couldn't let anyone notice that he was greedy for power, because there was another person behind him, and he still carried that person's trust.
That person is Yue Wuque.
Chong Yuan had warned himself countless times that as long as that gorgeous woman existed for a day, he could not let the tree of desire in his heart break out.
In the Western Territory, in the Holy Legend, except for Yue Wuque, he is already the leader of the Demon Cult who is superior to all others. He has supreme authority and prestige, and also has Yue Wuque's trust. At his age, he has almost reached his level. The pinnacle of life.
But once he left the Western Region, he was just the head of the Shengchuan King. Not many people knew him. The only people who could remember him seemed to be the names of Shengchuan and Yue Wuque. Especially just now, even Long Ri Kuangyang, who had recognized his ability, looked down upon him in his words and eyes.
But he, Chong Yuan, has never been willing to be a victim of others. Especially after he knew his own abilities and experienced the sweetness of power, this idea became stronger.
And Long Ri Kuangyang obviously wanted to get his answer. Although it was just a sentence, for Chong Yuan, if he said that sentence, he would completely betray himself and he would embark on another path. road.
Therefore, at this moment, Chong Yuan was faced with an extremely painful decision for him.
Chong Yuan pondered for a long time, then suddenly frowned and asked: "Why does the Wolf Lord have to get that answer? In my opinion, whether I represent myself tonight or the Western Realm Holy Legend, it has nothing to do with our alliance. different."
Long Ri Kuangyang shook his head with a half-smile and said: "Of course there is a difference. In my opinion, the most important thing for the two parties to form an alliance is mutual respect and sincerity. Let's not talk about sincerity now, if you represent the powerful person you say She is a very good leader, so I didn’t feel her respect for me at all, because she was not the one who came to see me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chong Yuan interrupted: "My Holy Missionary Master has rushed to the Central Plains for other important matters, so I decided to come to meet the Wolf Lord to form an alliance with your department..."
"You don't need to explain!" Long Ri Kuangyang also interrupted with some impatience. His face darkened and he said in a solemn tone: "It's not that I am narrow-minded, but that I have a knot.
The matter of the alliance is no small matter. For such a big matter, your leader cannot come in person. As the Lord of Fengyan, I, Longri Kuangyang, am not qualified to let her come here to meet me in person? "
As soon as this statement came out, it was already full of deep criticism and dissatisfaction.
Chong Yuan's face changed slightly, and he fell silent again.
"So..." Long Ri Kuangyang's eyes were sharp, "I have reason to suspect that the person who proposed an alliance is not your leader, but you, Chong Yuan."
When Chong Yuan heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his handsome face, and then the surprise slowly turned into a smile. The smile was very light, but very meaningful.
"People in the Northern Wilderness think that the Wolf Lord is extremely powerful, but in fact the Wolf Lord's mind is equally sharp and careful."
Chong Yuan let out a breath, raised his eyes and looked at Long Ri Kuangyang opposite, his tone remained calm: "Even if the Wolf Lord's guess is correct, this answer doesn't mean much. Because I still rely on the power of the Holy Legend behind me. For example, the Wolf Lord, doesn’t he also need to rely on the entire Northern Wilderness barbarians now?”
Longri Kuangyang suddenly sneered, and said with a scornful tone: "But I, Longri Kuangyang, will soon lead the Fengyan Iron Cavalry to sweep across the entire Northern Wilderness, leaving me as the only master in the Northern Wilderness. And at that time, you What leverage does Chongyuan have to cooperate with me on an equal footing?"
Chong Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he couldn't help clenching his fists in his sleeves again.
"I can see that you are a person with great ambitions, but I can also guess that although your leader is powerful, his goals are not the same as yours."
"That's why I need to get the answer from your own mouth. Because I am more interested in you than the Holy Legend of the West, because we have something in common, that is, we are not willing to accept the status quo, and we have ambitions that are inferior to others. Long Ri Kuangyang narrowed his eyes and continued in a calm tone: "Because we are the same kind of people in a sense, so I can smell the same scent on you as mine."
Chong Yuan remained silent for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking about. After being silent for a long time, he finally let out a breath, and then he slowly said: "Very good, the Wolf Lord is indeed the person I want to seek cooperation with. Coming here tonight is indeed just a representation of My personal wishes."
After saying these words, Long Ri Kuangyang's face suddenly brightened.
After Chong Yuan said these words, his expression became much more relaxed, as if he had finally released something that had been sitting in his heart for many years.
The meaning of this is something that others cannot imagine, and it also implies extremely serious consequences.
"Very good." Long Ri Kuangyang shrugged, with a faint smile on his lips. He stared at Chong Yuan, "I am very satisfied with your answer and courage."
Chong Yuan was not elated because of the other party's recognition. His expression had already returned to normal. He smiled when he heard this and said, "Has the Wolf Lord made a decision about the alliance?"
His attitude is very clear, and he also needs a positive answer from the other party.
Longri Kuangyang fell into deep thought for a short time, then he nodded slowly and said: "I can agree to your proposal, but you have to remember that I am in alliance with you, Chongyuan, not the Holy Legend of the West. As for how you need to rely on The forces behind you are your own business, and with your ability, I believe this is something that I don’t need to think too much about.”
Chong Yuan smiled and said: "This is natural." His tone was full of confidence.
"However, before we formally reach an alliance, I would like to know what changes in Feng Yan can be brought to me by forming an alliance with you?" Longri Kuangyang said slowly: "In other words, what kind of exciting changes can you bring to me? Benefit?"
There was a deep water-like light in Chong Yuan's eyes. He smiled and said: "The Wolf Lord is extremely powerful and wise. Those interests that can be seen by each other will definitely not be taken into consideration by the Wolf Lord. And I can bring the most important things to the Wolf Lord." A thing is an opportunity. As long as there is an opportunity, it will have the value of creating greater benefits. I believe the Wolf Lord can understand what I am saying?"
"Let's stop beating around the bush." Long Ri Kuangyang chuckled, "You'd better keep it simple."
Chong Yuan chuckled and said, "The reason why I propose an alliance with the Wolf Lord is because both of us have the same goal, which is the Central Plains."
Hearing this, Long Ri Kuangyang glanced slightly towards the east and said calmly: "The Central Plains is a good piece of meat. Anyone with an appetite will want to get a piece of it."
"The meat is good meat," Chong Yuan said, "but not everyone has the ability to eat this piece of meat."
"So, in your mind, Chongyuan, you and I are both capable of eating that piece of meat."
"Of course." Chongyuan smiled and nodded: "And the Wolf Lord is the most capable person in the world to eat that piece of meat. But the Wolf Lord lacks an excellent opportunity and an excellent helper."
Longri Kuangyang said: "So you think you are the person I lack the most?"
"Without this confidence, how could I dare to come and meet the Wolf Lord?" Chong Yuan said calmly: "And the Wolf Lord should also be able to see that I can create the opportunities that the Wolf Lord needs."
"Your courage and confidence are indeed what attracted me." Long Ri Kuangyang narrowed his eyes and said, "Then you might as well tell your opinion."
Chong Yuan spoke for a moment, and then slowly said: "The Wolf Lord is the most powerful man in the barbarian tribe for hundreds of years, and the Fengyan Iron Cavalry has the powerful ability to sweep across the Northern Wilderness. That's why the Wolf Lord said before that it won't take long to unify the Northern Wilderness. This is the following point. I agree very much. But despite this, if the Wolf Lord thinks that he can easily conquer the Central Plains, it is not easy and not optimistic. At least for now, this cannot be changed."
Longri Kuangyang didn't look unhappy because of Chongyuan's words. He just asked lightly: "Do you think that even if I gather the power of the entire Northern Wilderness, I won't be able to break through the defense line on the Central Plains border?"
Chong Yuan gently shook his head and said: "That's not true. Although Da Feng City has been renovated by the Zhenbian Mansion, its strength is no longer what it used to be. But if the Wolf Lord can really gather the entire Northern Wilderness to fight against them, even if the military governor Wei Changxin can There was some resistance, but the 60,000 northwest frontier troops alone were the result of the mantis blocking the car."
He paused and then continued: "What I want to say next is that even if the Wolf Lord can lead the barbarians to break through the border defense line of Gale City, it will only occupy a small corner of the land. The Wolf Lord has been coveting the Central Plains for a long time, and he must also be aware of the vastness of the Central Plains. , it is definitely not something that can be completely conquered by just one army. The Dayong Dynasty has been based in the Central Plains for three hundred years. Although the country's fortunes are declining, the confidence is still there after all, and this is what the Wolf Lord needs to pay most attention to. "
A serious expression appeared on Long Ri Kuangyang's face. He crossed the fingers of his huge hands and said slowly: "Go on."
At this moment, Chongyuan showed the demeanor of a wise man who was strategizing, and showed extraordinary foresight in the ordinary. He said: "The Central Plains is a vast land with abundant resources. Nowadays, the princes are divided and their forces are intertwined. Even if the Wolf Lord can break through the border with his iron cavalry and then drive straight in, once he goes deep, In the hinterland of the Central Plains, even if the barbarian army has the ability to support war with war, it cannot destroy all the vassal forces of the entire Central Plains dynasty in a short time. If time goes by, the Wolf Lord will be trapped in the siege and resistance of the Central Plains. If there is no follow-up As for the supplies, the Wolf Lord’s army will be exhausted on its own without Zhongyuan’s all-out efforts, and there is no need to explain the final result.”
Seeing Long Ri Kuangyang's face was deep and silent, Chong Yuan said lightly: "And if the Wolf Lord wants to cross the border of the Central Plains, he needs a prerequisite, and that is that the Dayong court will not send troops to help suppress the border mansion. If the border mansion has The imperial court's reinforcements helped, but the barbarians wanted to break through the border defense line, but it was a different situation. The Wolf Lord must have thought about this." He suddenly smiled playfully, "So I guess, despite Feng Yan in these years, The army is getting stronger and stronger day by day, but the Wolf Lord has never taken any action against Gale City. This should be the reason for such concerns, right?"
Long Ri Kuangyang raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly and noncommittally: "I admit that your analysis is indeed quite thorough, and it is true that the Central Plains is not a piece of meat that one person can swallow in one bite. So what do you think about this? ?」
"Before the Wolf Lord, how dare I dare to express my opinion?" Chong Yuan showed a somewhat rare expression of humility and said, "But I dare to ask the Wolf Lord a question. If the Wolf Lord wants to invade the Central Plains, what is currently lacking most?"
Long Ri Kuangyang just pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "You were right before, if we want to truly cross the border of the Central Plains, we really lack an opportunity. But I also want to know, what kind of opportunity are you talking about? "
Chong Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "With the power of the Wolf Lord, if there is no big
Unexpectedly, the unification of the Northern Wilderness is just around the corner, so there is no need to worry too much about military strength. The barbarian tribes have suffered from the bitter cold of the Northern Wilderness for thousands of years, and no one will refuse the opportunity to go to a place where they can live more comfortably, so there is no shortage of morale. Therefore, the opportunities that the Wolf Lord lacks are not in the Northern Wilderness, but in the Central Plains. "
Long Ri Kuangyang's eyes flashed, and he laughed and said: "It's interesting, keep talking."
The smile on Chong Yuan's face suddenly faded, and he said seriously: "What the Wolf Lord needs now is an opportunity to cause chaos in the Central Plains."
"Chaos in the Central Plains?" Long Ri Kuangyang thought thoughtfully, "Isn't the Central Plains in chaos enough now?"
"I have said that although the luck of the Dayong Dynasty is gradually weakening, its confidence is still there. Although the Central Plains is in chaos, it is not a real chaotic world..."
Chongyuan said meaningfully: "Throughout the ages, many dynasties in the Central Plains have all risen and fallen from the troubled times. How many of those people whose names are recorded in history have not stood out in the troubled times and achieved great achievements? It is said that heroes emerge from troubled times. exactly."
Long Ri Kuangyang Dark's heart was shocked. At this moment, Chong Yuan's weight in his mind suddenly increased a bit. He asked slowly: "So in your opinion, where is the opportunity to turn the Central Plains into troubled times, and how to obtain it?"
"Opportunities never fall out of thin air, they need people to create them." Chong Yuan said with a smile: "And I am the person who can create this opportunity for the Wolf Lord now."
"Oh?" Long Ri Kuangyang raised his thick eyebrows and asked in a deep voice, "Can you do it?"
"As long as you can think about things in the world and try them, there will be countless possibilities, and success is one of the countless possibilities." Chongyuan was not arrogant enough to be sure, and his answer was extremely wise. After a deep smile, he said: "As long as you have the strength and the right method, everything is possible."
Longri Kuangyang said: "Then I'm interested in hearing your method."
Chong Yuan pondered for a moment, and then slowly answered the question: "As far as I know, since Lord Wolf took charge of the Feng Yan Department, he has been trying to understand everything about the Central Plains. Not only has he learned the language of the Central Plains, but he has also learned from those who were robbed. He also learned more things from the plundered Central Plains people, so it can be seen that the Wolf Lord must already have a considerable understanding of the history of the Yong Dynasty in the Central Plains, right?"
"If you want to conquer a place, of course you must first understand and be familiar with everything there, know yourself and the enemy, and only then can you be sure of victory."
Longri Kuangyang's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that this Northern Wilderness already has your eyes and ears in the Western Territory?"
Chong Yuan smiled and shook his head, deliberately omitting this question. He asked, "I wonder how much Lord Wolf knows about the current situation in Yong Dynasty?"
Longri Kuangyang said lightly: "Although it has been done intentionally over the years, in the end it is only the one-sided words of those insignificant Central Plains people, and it is difficult to get a full picture from it. What I know is that since the Qingde Emperor Mingqing Since he took the throne, he had no intention of political affairs and was greedy for the harem. He also indulged the powerful ministers and allowed the princes to support their own troops. This led to turmoil in the people's livelihood in the world. There were also large-scale civil uprisings in many places. Although those uprisings have been suppressed, they have not been completely eliminated. It shakes the foundation of the imperial court, but since the people's morale is scattered and chaos has arisen, the good fortune of the Yong Dynasty will not last long."
Chong Yuan nodded slightly and said: "What the Wolf Lord knows is indeed true. But the reason why the Yong Dynasty has not fallen apart yet is because there are still five major princes. Although the Central Plains court is now intertwined, in terms of its strength, it must be Headed by the five kings of Yue, Ning, Chu, Qin, and Yin. Among these five princes, except for Chu King Bian Nanchui, who is the only king with a different surname, the other four are all royal relatives of the current emperor. They all had heavy troops and checks and balances on each other, so they were able to keep the court stable. Especially Ning Wang Mingrui, who was the emperor's uncle. He was based in Ninghai in the northwest, across the sea from the Beihuang Sunken Sea. He had 30,000 naval troops under his command, and fought in There are thousands of ships, all of which are elite troops. They correspond to the water and land of Da Feng City and occupy a very important geographical location. Among the other three kings, Yue King Ming Yue is the emperor's brother. He is in charge of the capital and commands a hundred thousand Huben Imperial Army. He has a high position. King Mingyi of Yin, on the other hand, is based in the three states in the south, commanding 200,000 powerful troops that can be said to be the most powerful in the Yong Dynasty. The remaining King Mingqing of Qin and King Bian Nanchui of Chu each have private armies in their vassals. Their power should not be underestimated. These five people now divide almost all the power of the Yong Dynasty.
So as long as these five people don't lose control, the Great Yong Dynasty will not fall. "
"As for the imperial court, Prime Minister Sikong Cuo was the elder of the two dynasties and monopolized the affairs of the court. Most of the officials were his vassals. However, although Sikong Cuo was in a high position and had great power, due to the existence of the five vassal kings, the court was not The court and the outside world suppress each other, and it is difficult for him to decide the ups and downs of a dynasty for a while." Chong Yuan talked slowly, and he was very familiar with the affairs of the Central Plains court. He breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said: "That's why these six people are He is now a key figure in maintaining the Central Plains imperial court."
Long Ri Kuangyang waited quietly for him to finish, his expression showing deep shock. He was silent for a moment, then exhaled and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that you, a person from the Western Region, who has never set foot in the Central Plains in these years, could understand the situation in the Central Plains so well. It seems that you have really taken great pains. It can be seen from this that you must have The plan is not small, a holy missionary must not be able to accommodate your ambition, so you would think of forming an alliance with me, Feng Yan, right?"
Chong Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "I agree with what the Wolf Lord just said. We are indeed the same kind of people. If not, how could the Wolf Lord treat me differently?"
Long Ri Kuangyang smiled deeply: "You are right, only strong people will have the same resonance with each other. Now it seems that you are worthy of my special regard." He pondered for a moment, and then asked lightly: "But I don't know what you think of Ming Qing, the emperor of the Central Plains?"
In Mingqing, today's emperor, he won the great treasure at the age of weak crown and changed his reign name to "Qingde". Nowadays, most people in the Central Plains world will still call him emperor no matter how secretly they criticize him behind his back. Only foreigners like Longri Kuangyang will call him by his first name without any scruples.
"Emperor Qingde?" Chongyuan calmed down a little, and said slowly and deeply with deep eyes: "It has been almost thirty years since he ascended the throne at the age of seventeen. In these nearly thirty years, compared to his obvious Not only did he not have anything outstanding, he also over-dispersed the imperial power, which led to the officials in the court becoming powerful and the princes in the world to be divided. This also unsettled the people's hearts and led to a large-scale civil war unprecedented in the three hundred years since the founding of the Yong Dynasty. Things changed, and then the national destiny began to gradually decline. Speaking of which, what this emperor did during his reign was indeed ridiculous and incompetent, and he was not worthy of his imperial title of "Qingde"..."
Hearing this, Longri Kuangyang sneered with some contempt.
Chongyuan continued: "Since Ming Qing's reign, he has indulged his selfish desires and coveted the harem without restraint, which is unethical; he has allowed his ministers to form cliques for personal gain, and allowed the princes to support their troops and respect themselves, which has led to turmoil in the world and has been reviled by the world. This is incompetence. Among the dozen or so emperors of the Ming Dynasty, he can be regarded as the most stupid and incompetent emperor."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Ming Qing will not be able to escape being called a faint king in the history books of the Yong Dynasty recorded by later generations of the Central Plains. But in my opinion, this person may not be without merit." Chong Yuan paused, then spoke slowly. Said: "Because most people and things in this world have two sides. If you judge a certain person or a certain thing based on the surface, you will lose the truest judgment."
Long Ri Kuangyang raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise: "From what you said, it seems that you know something else about him?"
"I have never set foot in the Central Plains, let alone the imperial palace, so I don't know much about the emperor." Chongyuan smiled deeply and said, "The reason why I said that is just out of a feeling towards him, because I will never make a casual conclusion on something that is only superficial."
"It's interesting." Long Ri Kuangyang said with a faint smile: "Why don't you tell me what's so different about that emperor?"
Chongyuan straightened his face and said in a low tone: "Mingqing was made the prince by his father Emperor Wenjing of the Yuan Dynasty when he was ten years old. When he was seventeen years old, Emperor Wenjing contracted a wind disease and died suddenly. Mingqing succeeded to the throne and became the prince. It has been nearly thirty years since the new emperor. If he was really just a prince with no talent, he would never have been regarded as the prince by Emperor Wen Jing among the many princes. And after he became the prince, he could still It is not something that an ordinary person can do to safely stabilize his position amidst the overt and covert struggles of many smart and capable princes and successfully become the new emperor. After Mingqing ascended the throne, even though he showed his incompetence in governing the country, he still Isn't it thought-provoking to be able to sit on the throne for ten years in an uneasy situation where princes are divided and power ministers are in charge? We must know that in the Yong court, no matter the five vassal kings who support their troops and respect themselves,
The princes in the court headed by Sikong Cuo are not simple people who can be easily dealt with. "
When Long Ri Kuangyang heard this, the look of contempt and contempt towards the Emperor of the Central Plains gradually disappeared from his brows while he was deep in thought, and his face showed a somewhat confused and dignified look. Chong Yuan's words suddenly made him feel something, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense. Just imagine that a foolish emperor with no talent, no ambition, no thought about national affairs, could sit on the throne for so many years in a court with complicated political situation and fierce party disputes. This in itself is a very unusual and easy thing to do.
Long Ri Kuangyang frowned. He didn't speak and waited quietly for Chong Yuan to finish.
Chong Yuan pondered for a moment and then said: "Nowadays, it is said in the world that Ming Qing is greedy for wine and sex, and if this is true, then he should have been exhausted by wine and sex and become weak and sick. But the fact is that he is now He is still alive and well, which shows that his body has always been strong."
"The world also says that he has no interest in government affairs and has no good ideas for governing the country. This is the biggest criticism since he ascended the throne. But in my opinion, among the countless Central Plains dynasties throughout the ages, none of them has ever truly survived through the ages. The so-called general trend of the world, If the division lasts for a long time, it will unite, and if the unity lasts for a long time, it will divide. This is the general trend and cannot be reversed by human power. Therefore, the rise and fall of a dynasty sometimes has little to do with the ability of a certain emperor. Even if a person has the talent of the world and the earth, he will not be able to reverse the trend of the times. In this situation, it is difficult to resist the law of heaven to turn the tide. This kind of precedent is not uncommon in history. And today's Dayong Dynasty is experiencing this trend of prosperity and decline. The Ming family has been in the Central Plains for three hundred years, and this dynasty is like a An old man who is very old. Although he has tried his best to maintain a strong body for a long time, in fact, his body has long been filled with serious illnesses, and now he has reached the end of his life. And Mingqing just happened to be there. Now that he is sitting on the throne, even if he is determined to restore the fortune of the declining dynasty, he will not be able to overcome the fate of the great road. Therefore, in a sense, he has a bad fate. It is not a problem of his ability. This is also the helplessness of all emperors throughout the ages. What a pity."
Long Ri Kuangyang's eyes trembled.
Chong Yuan's demeanor was deep and calm, completely different from his evil intentions when he used force. As for his evaluation of the Emperor of the Central Plains at this time, the tone of his conversation seemed to be that he was not talking about a stranger he had never met, but an old acquaintance who had known him well for many years.
The more Long Ri Kuangyang listened, the more shocked his expression became. This was not because of hearing Chongyuan's unique and unique evaluation of Emperor Qingde, but because of Chongyuan.
As a foreigner from the Western Region who had never set foot in the Central Plains, Chongyuan actually had another level of profound understanding and evaluation of another person whom he had never met and had already been judged by the world, regardless of whether this evaluation was true or not. He is correct, just because he can infer an alternative view that is sharp and penetrating to a complete stranger based on worldly subjective factors. This in itself means that he possesses the ability of personal understanding beyond the world. It can be seen that Chongyuan not only has extraordinary personal martial arts, but also has a city as deep as the sea and a brilliant and far-sighted structure and vision.
Before Longri Kuangyang set off from Fengyan City, he had a careful discussion with Old Wolf Lord Tumor about the alliance proposed by the Holy Legend, and also asked Tumor about the past personnel of the Holy Legend. Old Wolf Lord Tumor did not give much detailed introduction. Perhaps it was because of the passage of time and the ups and downs of the Holy Tradition. He himself did not know much about the current Holy Tradition. He only said that the person who proposed the alliance was by no means an ordinary person and was worthy of Feng Yanbu took a gamble for him and made a major decision, but in the end it was up to Longri Kuangyang to decide whether to agree to form an alliance. So Longri Kuangyang sent troops to Xiaoyang Pass with great expectations, and then finally met the legendary king who proposed an alliance.
On the first day they met, Longri Kuangyang secretly admired Chongyuan's extraordinary courage, and then the two of them faced each other for a fierce battle. Longri Kuangyang was shocked by the other party's evil abilities, and he recognized in his heart that the other party was indeed capable of fighting. Your own qualifications to negotiate. But at this moment, listening to Chong Yuan's unique evaluation of the Emperor of the Central Plains, Long Ri Kuangyang's heart was greatly shocked, because he had already seen that the elegant but charming man in front of him had abilities that were definitely not With his weird martial arts skills and the wisdom and insights he revealed in his comments about others, Longri Kuangyang saw many possibilities.
If Feng Yan had a person like Chong Yuan as his assistant, then Long Ri Kuang Yang would have swept across the Northern Wilderness world long ago.
But the sun is shining brightly
After being shocked, he also secretly realized the hidden dangers of Chong Yuan himself. Cooperating with people like him was, to use a Chinese saying, "seek the skin of a tiger."
Although it is dangerous to seek skin from a tiger, Longri Kuangyang is not an ordinary tiger. He is confident that he can afford such a game, and he is also very much looking forward to the excitement of cooperating with another tiger.
He also needs talents like Chong Yuan.
"It is undeniable that whether your evaluation is correct or not, it is indeed far beyond my expectations." Long Ri Kuangyang quickly calmed down his inner turmoil. He looked at Chong Yuan and said slowly: "If Ming Qing listens, You must be very shocked to know him so well, right?"
He changed the subject and suddenly smiled: "But your evaluation is just an inference after all. If Ming Qing is really what you said, then it's hard to say what kind of emperor he is."
Chong Yuan suddenly sighed softly and said: "These are indeed just inferences based on my personal intuition. As for what kind of emperor he is, in my opinion, there are only two possibilities."
"Oh?" Long Ri Kuangyang narrowed his eyes and asked casually: "Which two kinds?"
Chong Yuan's tone was slightly deeper and he said slowly:
"The first type is that he is indeed an incompetent person. The reason why he can continue to sit on the Dragon Throne is because he is willing to become a puppet of powerful officials and princes. An emperor without any authority will not pose any threat to those powerful officials. , so they are happy to maintain that status quo.”
"The second one is that he is a man with the most profound power in the world, and he is also a powerful man who is well versed in the power of emperors. Because he can take the initiative to show weakness to the world, and at the same time, he can take advantage of the conflicts between powerful ministers and major princes. The struggle maintains the balance inside and outside the court. If he is temporarily unable to change the fate of the road, he will find ways to keep the dynasty alive. As long as he does not end up like a king in the end, then he is at best a foolish king, not a sinner in the world. "
Long Ri Kuangyang's expression changed again.
