Chapter 1464 Put a knife on the neck of the children and grandchildren
I don’t know when the trend of mythical emperors started. In the beginning, they just boasted about the visions when the emperor was born, and used this method to awe the people of the world.
Gradually, the emperors felt that it was not enough, so they added many elements. For example, the emperor could communicate with the gods, and the emperor had a destiny...
Until a certain emperor drank too much one day and said: I am the emperor!
What do people fear most?
Heaven!
In the eyes of the people, God controls everything in this world.
I am the son of God and the spokesperson of God in the world. I would like to ask you if you are afraid!
In fact, the emperor wished he could say that he was God, but they felt that this statement could not deceive the people, so in the end they had to humiliate themselves and become the emperor.
So, from then on, the emperor had two fathers, one was his biological father and the other was God.
Since then, mythical emperors have become a science.
Correspondingly, the emperor had to act mysterious and majestic.
For example, Li Mi is one of the good players.
The best way to interpret majesty is to be moody. Li Mi has already practiced to the state of transformation, leaving the officials confused.
But the King of Qin threw these so-called mysteries aside during the first court meeting.
"Your Highness!"
Some people were panicked, thinking that the King of Qin might have drunk too much of the palace wine and became drunk. Or maybe Li Bi had someone poison the royal wine before escaping, and the King of Qin was poisoned.
"Why are you worried that if you lose the mystery, the world will cast aside Gu?"
King Qin found it a bit funny, "Most people are ignorant, most people like to follow the herd, and they believe whatever others say. Gu also wants to pretend to be a god and fool the people in the world, and he wants to be the leader of the church and is willing to help him."
Ning Yayun also came today to give King Qin some face... When Li Yuan and his son were sitting there, Lao Shuaiguo never entered the palace.
Hearing this, he smiled and said, "That's easy to say."
Playing tricks and tricks, metaphysics is at the master level.
"Your Highness, to maintain the unity of the world, the emperor must be majestic!" Luo Cai said.
“Where does the majesty of an emperor come from?”
King Qin said: "In ancient times, tribal leaders took their tribes to fight, farm, hunt, and seek survival. Respect comes from ability. When the emperor came, all this changed."
"The rise and fall of dynasties is like reincarnation. Whenever a new dynasty is established, the founding emperors often conquered the country with their own hands. They are well aware of the sufferings of the people and the shortcomings of the world. Therefore, they pay light taxes and pay low taxes, show consideration for people's livelihood, and rest with the people. The founding emperors are more open to the outside world.
He was tough, and the army marched out of the fortress, which frightened the foreign tribes. As a result, the world was ruled and peaceful. Everyone in the world called it a prosperous age, and called it a wise king! This is why the emperor is respected by others!"
King Qin stretched out his hand, but found that there was no tea... He glanced at the servant, whose cheeks trembled slightly, thinking that there were no such rules during court discussions.
But he still went out and asked someone to bring tea.
Look, this is a sign of being smart... King Qin was very satisfied, "After the founding emperor, his descendants gradually became unable to control the government and the world. I won't tell you the reason for this today."
He could talk about it for three days and three nights.
"The emperor cannot control the court or the world, so he must be in panic. In order to secure his position and to fight for power, he makes some miraculous things and makes himself look like a wooden statue, in order to scare the world and maintain the rule of the system. But
This is stupid!"
King Qin shook his head. "Are these methods useful? Yes! But the country is still in chaos, and the country is still declining. If you don't solve the problem, but use these things to cover it up, it is stupid! The things that the gods and gods talk about can only extend your life.
But there is nothing we can do to turn the tide.”
Maybe extending your life is always good, right?
The more the ministers listened, the more confused they became.
"The rise and fall of dynasties is unavoidable. In Gu's opinion, if the Tang Dynasty can last another three hundred years, God will take care of it."
"Your Highness..."
Someone was just about to make a comment when King Qin said: "But you want to say that the Tang Dynasty will last for thousands of generations? That's nonsense!"
"There is no immortal dynasty!" King Qin was very sober. "In Gu's opinion, instead of letting future generations pretend to be gods and ghosts and linger on, it is better to let them be prepared for danger in times of peace!"
As expected, he is the emperor that I am optimistic about... The corners of Ning Yayun's mouth raised slightly.
These completely different words made the officials stunned.
"Throw away the so-called mystery and face the world calmly. As for majesty and respect, fight for it with your words and deeds, instead of thinking that... I am the emperor, and it is natural for people in the world to worship me. Damn it! The more you
The emperor who thinks like this is even more foolish!"
The censor beside him coughed dryly, wanting to remind King Qin not to use foul language, but...
"I thought about this for a long time on my way to Chang'an. I asked myself if I could make the Tang Dynasty strong and prosperous, but where are my children and grandchildren? Can I guarantee it? I have thought about it for a long time, but I can't guarantee it."
"Of course I hope that my children and grandchildren will live forever, and that the Tang Dynasty will survive forever. But the more I hope for this, the more anxious I will be. Anxiety comes and goes, and I will think about how to make my children and grandchildren wise and powerful. In this way, we can ensure that the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous for generations to come.
.But Gu immediately felt that he was confused. Dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the sons are different, let alone Gu?"
The King of Qin smiled and said: "I can't ensure that my children and grandchildren will be virtuous, so what's the way to force them to be virtuous? The only way is a fire!"
King Qin stood up, pointed to the throne and said: "Let's set up firewood for them below. The hearts of the people and the army are the firewood. When the people are in dire straits and the army is weak, the firewood is sent to the throne. Then the emperor turns to coke and the dynasty changes.
.”
The ministers were sweating profusely after hearing this.
"Only let the descendants of future generations feel trembling, walking on thin ice, knowing that this throne is not so easy to sit on. If they indulge in pleasure, if they are not diligent in government, if they are unwilling to go out and observe the people's sentiments... then they must be prepared to be burned to death.
"
"At least, Gu's generation can sit back and relax."
King Qin sat down, turned his eyes, and said calmly: "I love my children and grandchildren very much, even more passionately than many people. Love is deep, and responsibility is deep. The more so, the more I should plan for my children and grandchildren."
But your method is to put your children and grandchildren on the pile of firewood?
"There must be a sense of crisis." King Qin summed up his hope for future generations in one sentence.
Wang Laoer raised his hand, this is the rule in Northern Xinjiang.
King Qin nodded, "Say."
Wang Laoer said: "What if there is a generation of emperors who don't care?"
"Are you as heartless as you?"
King Qin's words caused a burst of laughter.
This was an atmosphere that had never existed in the court before.
Very lively.
"This is a good question." King Qin confirmed Wang Laoer's question, "If you don't care, then it's time to change the dynasty."
"I don't want Jiangshan anymore?" Wang Laoer asked.
"What is the country?" King Qin asked himself and answered, "It is not the emperor alone, nor the Li family. Wherever the people of the world are, there is the country. The Li family is just the leader of the people in the world. When the emperor of the Li family is ignorant, he does not care about the throne.
When someone falls into the fire, then he will die a worthy death."
When Ning Yayun saw that the atmosphere in the palace was stagnant, she said, "Just leave when you need to, cleanly and neatly."
"That's right." King Qin felt that Lao Shuaiguo knew what he was thinking, "Let's just talk about the false emperor Li Bi. If these changes hadn't happened, where would his descendants have taken the Tang Dynasty?"
"Abyss!" Ning Yayun said.
"If I don't come out, this Tang Dynasty will be destroyed!"
King Qin expressed his attitude with these words.
If future generations of emperors are incompetent, if they are foolish, if they don't care whether they die or their country is destroyed, then everyone in the world will be polite and light a fire under his throne.
Burn the turtle son to death!
"How wonderful it is to put yourself to death and live again!" Liu Qing raised his palms and praised.
He was the first to understand, and Luo was the second.
"The prince has been taught since he was born, and he should be wise. But as His Highness said, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the sons are different. Instead of hoping that they will not be stupid, it is better to put a knife on their necks and make them
They dare not slack off.”
The key is that after King Qin's words, any mythical emperor's remarks can no longer hold water.
Later, these words spread throughout the imperial city.
"Crazy!"
The two officials looked at each other in the duty room.
"Your Highness is destroying your prestige!"
"No, His Majesty's martial arts skills are unprecedented, and there may not be many that can match him. His prestige is certainly not bad. But the descendants of future generations will be in bad luck."
…
Zhou Ning is very busy.
She sat in the side hall, with two rows below, one row of female officials and one row of eunuchs.
"At midnight tonight, except for my family, the warehouses and other important areas in the palace are guarded by people. The rest of the places are unattended. Leave the stolen things on the roadside and forget about it. If someone is lucky, feel free to do it.
If the law does not blame everyone, or if they feel that I am incompetent and cannot find out, then they will ignore it."
Everyone lowered their eyes.
"Tomorrow, we will go to the palace!"
In fact, it should have been done yesterday in Dasuo Palace, and it could even be started after Zhou Ning arrived in Chang'an.
But she endured it until King Qin came back before taking action.
Everyone knows that the first wave of earthquakes in the harem is coming.
In this wave of earthquakes, some people will be unlucky, while others will rise to great heights.
For example, neither the King of Qin nor the Princess of Qin had a chief servant around them, which was the role of Han Shitou next to Li Bi.
Fortunately for Princess Qin, she has been observing everyone in the palace and guessing that she has a candidate in mind. But as soon as King Qin arrives, who can take the position will depend on their own abilities.
Then everyone dispersed.
Hua Hong went out to wander around and inquire about news.
He hurried back not long after.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"What's the matter?"
Zhou Ning was looking at the roster. Hearing Hua Hong's eager voice, he smiled and said, "But the sky is falling?"
"It's not far away." Hua Hong came in and took a breath, "His Royal Highness said in court earlier that emperors are also human beings. He also said that if future generations fail to live up to expectations and ruin the country, the people of that country should burn the throne.
…”
Well!
Zhou Ning blinked.
Is he crazy?
But then she thought of King Qin's words and deeds over the years. As a person beside her, she knew many remarks that were unknown to the outside world.
A line gradually became clear...
"He had already planned it!"
Zhou Ning covered his forehead, "Poor A Liang's children and grandchildren..."
…
A Liang waited for his father in the palace, "Ah Ye, can I leave the palace tomorrow?"
"What to do?"
"Go for a spin!"
"You can go, but you need to bring your guards with you."
"good!"
King Qin smiled and watched his son leave happily.
There were a lot of things piled up next to the palace in front, and more than ten servants were probably taking a rest after carrying them. Zhou Ning seemed to be quite tolerant, and everyone was eating biscuits.
"It's Your Highness!"
Someone discovered King Qin, and there was chaos.
The waiters hurriedly stood up and saluted with joy, scattering crumbs of biscuits and the mutton inside everywhere.
However, a waiter in his thirties first held the pancake with both hands, put the mutton that was about to fall out, and then saluted.
King Qin glanced at them and then moved forward.
The servants discussed for a while, and someone laughed and said, "Qin Ze, we are all busy saluting, and you are the only one who is busy eating. His Highness probably didn't see you at this time."
The waiter chuckled and said, "I don't dare waste food."
"If you can follow His Highness, what else are you missing?"
Qin Ze just smiled indifferently and continued to eat biscuits.
A chamberlain came over in a hurry, "Hey! Who was the slowest in saluting before?"
