Chapter 270 The Perfect Wang Yangming (Eight)

late at night

Wang Yun communicated with Emperor Liu Bao for a long time, but in the end he could not talk about the emperor.

"Wang Bo'an, you claim to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism. Where are you loyal and where are you love?"

"You are the father and the minister is the son. Have you ever seen a son who scolds his father? Is this kind of son worthy of being filial?"

"I have heard others say about those thoughts and theories. There are some contents that I highly recognize, such as the people must have conscience and the people cannot rebel. I think these two points are the real essence of your thoughts, but there are some contents that I very much do not recognize, such as the emperor you said that you must have conscience. This is simply a rebellious thing. The emperor is sacred and is born with conscience. There is no need to be educated by you to develop conscience. There is only father in the world who teaches his son, and no son in the world who teaches his father a lesson!"

"Although Shang Yang died, Qin Dharma still existed."

"But I am not the cruel King of Qin. If I don't kill you, I will only keep you in my mind until you realize your mistake and repent. As long as you are willing to admit that you are wrong, and according to my will, extract the essence of your thoughts and compile them into books and distribute them to all over the world, then I will also reward you and let you be the Situ!"

Emperor Liu Bao thought Wang Yun was a talented man and was reluctant to kill him, but he did not dare to let him go. He was worried that Wang Yun would continue to call him a fool after being released, so he planned to keep Wang Yun locked up and wait until Wang Yun was tamed by the imperial power, and then release Wang Yun for his own use.

However, Situ, one of the three ministers, still could not tempt Wang Yun. He just silently recalled what the emperor had just said.

If a father who only teaches his son a lesson, but not his son who teaches his father a lesson, does a son actually dare to teach his father a lesson? Is this worthy of being filial?

As a subject, I, Wang Yun, is equivalent to a son. How can I teach my monarch a lesson? That is equivalent to teaching my father a lesson. This is completely a great rebellion! A great rebellion!

But if I don't do this, who will help those hungry and cold people?

What exactly should I do?

Wang Yun was caught in a conflict. He instinctively felt that the emperor's words were unreasonable, but he could not find a suitable reason to refute them.

"Wang Bo'an, think about what happened to you. I'm waiting for your reply!" The emperor left a cold sentence and then left the dungeon.

...

Another year later

"Did Wang Boan admit his mistake?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, Wang Yun still says you are a fool!" the eunuch replied.

"snort!"

...

Two more years later

"Did Wang Boan admit his mistake?" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, Wang Yun still says you are a fool!" the eunuch replied.

"What a beast without a king or a father!"

...

Three more years later

"Did Wang Boan admit his mistake?"

"Your Majesty, Wang Yun writes books and biography in the dungeon!"

"Writing books? Haha... He wrote books, and I also wrote books, and only chose the content of "The people must have conscience, and the people cannot rebel" [No king or father is a beast] [Don't be a hungry mantis, and I will be a mantis]. I also wrote books in the name of Wang Yun!"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

...

Another six years later

"Ahem—"

Emperor Liu Bao's health is getting worse and worse, and he feels like he has not had much time.

"Your Majesty!" The most beloved Queen Liang hurriedly wiped the emperor's sweat.

"Go! Bring Wang Yun and Wang Bo'an. I want to let him admit his mistake before he dies. I want him to know that I am a wise monarch, not a fool!" Emperor Liu Bao ordered his queen: "Hurry up! Go and ask someone to bring Wang Yun!"

After a long time, Wang Yun, who was wearing a prison uniform and had a young and white hair, was taken to the hall by the eunuchs.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" Wang Yun was still the same. When he entered the hall, he shouted to the emperor three times, and then he still looked at Liu Bao with the look of looking at the foolish emperor.

"You all retreat, I want to talk to him alone." The emperor waved his hand and asked the queen, palace maids, and eunuchs to retreat.

After all these people retreated, Emperor Liu Bao said coldly to Wang Yun: "Wang Yun, do you know your mistake after more than ten years?"

"I know my mistake." Wang Yun said helplessly.

"Oh?" The emperor was overjoyed, and accidentally got overjoyed, coughed and laughed, "If I had known today, why would I not be the cruel King of Qin?"

"But!" Wang Yun changed his tone and said seriously to the emperor: "Your Majesty is also wrong!"

"You!" Emperor Liu Bao's chest was undulating.

"My mistake is to contradict the king and father, to be unable to make his king and father wise, to be unable to make officials honest, to be unable to make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment!" Wang Yun said to himself: "Your Majesty has no conscience!"

Bang!

The emperor couldn't help it and angrily patted Zhuo Censor and cursed: "Wang Yun, do you think you are the only saint in this world? You have a conscience?"

"Under my governance, all the rebels were wiped out. This is the first credit, and the Western Qiang rebellion was put down. This is the second credit, and the Northern Huns were completely exterminated by me. This is the third credit, and the eunuch Zhang Fang, who was greedy for money and seized power, was killed by me. This is the fourth credit, and the number of people starving to death every year is less than before. This is the fifth credit."

"Which of these contributions is not worthy of praise from the world? Which one is not worthy of praise? Do you still think that I am a foolish monarch?"

"Wang Yun! Ask yourself, if you were asked to be this emperor, could you do better than me?"

"Do you think it's easy to be an emperor?"

"Which relative, eunuch, and gentry, does not need me to be careful about balance?"

"Which barbarian on the frontier does not need to spend money to expel?"

"Which rebels in various places does not need money to pacify them?"

"You said I value eunuchs and let eunuchs make money, but look at the gentry. Not only do they refuse to pay taxes, but they also have to form an alliance to oppose the imperial court's tax collection! What can I do if the imperial court has no money? I can only value eunuchs, so they can make money for me. With money, many things in the country can be accomplished. Without money, the imperial court is just an empty arsenal!"

"It is precisely because I value eunuchs that the court has money. Only when the court has money can it suppress the Qiang Rebellion and the Huns!"

"Besides, you said that the eunuchs were arrogant and domineering, killing ministers at will, and wantonly collecting wealth and ointment from the people. But I have already executed Zhang Fang, the most arrogant and domineering servant, to death. What else do you want? Ah?!"

"Wang Yun! What else do you want?!"

Emperor Liu Bao's shocked Wang Yun didn't know how to refute it, but he still sticks to his beliefs.

"If His Majesty hadn't indulged the eunuchs, how could there be so many rebels in the world?"

"As for the greed of the gentry, as long as Your Majesty can take the lead in being a person with conscience, I believe that the children of the gentry will definitely work hard and become people with as conscience as Your Majesty. As long as they have conscience, they will naturally be willing to pay the court. Why have to use those eunuchs to make money and make the people in the world live in poverty?"

After thinking for a long time, Wang Yun could only refute this.

"Haha! Stupid!" The emperor laughed, not sure whether he was happy or angry: "Wang Yun, you were also a child of a gentry and had a lot of contact with the Yuan family in Runan. Do you think they are willing to be a person with conscience?"

"The aristocrats are unwilling to be a person with conscience, why do you have to ask me to be a person with conscience?"

"And the whole world belongs to me, it is my private property, it is the thing of our Liu clan, and the world is the world of our Liu family! Isn't it equivalent to taking my own money?"

"Can't I take my own money?"

"A commoner can even dispose of his own property at will, can't I do it?"

"Wang Yun, you...puff!"

Emperor Liu Bao was so excited that he accidentally got angry.

He was already weak, and after such intense "communication", he directly destroyed his body, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Yun hurriedly went to check on the emperor lying on the ground, but found that the other party was staring at him with wide eyes and angrily looking like he was dying with his eyes open.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Yun was shocked. He felt that he had killed the emperor, so he blamed himself in his heart: "The minister contradicted the monarch and even pissed the monarch to death. This is disloyalty and unrighteousness!"

"I, Wang Yun, can only apologize for death!"

After he blamed himself, Wang Yun stood up and hit the pillar next to him.
