He Lianrong was quite interested in him and talked to him about the concept of Zhengshuo.
"What is Zhengshuo? Great justice?" He Lianrong asked.
"Of course." His long-term belief was destroyed, and Yao Jun looked a little lost.
"Then what is the purpose of determining Zhengshuo?" He Lianrong asked.
"For the sake of the country."
"What is the country?"
"Shengmin."
"Look, you don't even want to say a word to the people. It shows that in your eyes, they are just workers and are dispensable. Is that right?"
These words were heartbreaking, but Yao Jun actually nodded.
"You are sincere." He Lianrong smiled and said: "Then, if there are no living people, how can Zhengshuo be useful?"
"What do you want to say?" Yao Jun was a little anxious.
"The poor monk wants to say that without living people, there will be no food, no clothes for you to wear, no roads, no houses, no workshops, no markets, no everything... What you call Zhengshuo can only be naked in the open air.
The place shrank into a ball."
He Lianrong shook his head, "Speaking of which, Shengmin is Zhengshuo's parents in your mouth, but in your eyes, they are Zhengshuo's slaves. Do you think that's right?"
"The living people should be driven." Yao Jun said: "If this were not the case, and everyone would go their own way, the world would be in chaos."
"What you mentioned is an ancient question." He Lianrong smiled and said: "In ancient times, people gathered together spontaneously, not to find a leader for themselves, but because ferocious beasts were rampant at that time, and they had to stick together to resist the ferocious beasts.
, to be able to hunt. Then, the best man became the leader, and later became the emperor."
"The first thing a leader has to do is to lead the tribe to find food and clothing, so that the tribesmen can be fed and clothed. But when he comes to the emperor, he becomes the emperor, grabbing food and cloth from their hands and servicing them.
That's all. When Li Mi came here, what did he think of his tribe? Beasts, oxen and horses. His Highness said that clay figures still have three parts of earthy nature, and the officials in the world should not force the people to go too far..."
He Lianrong said: "Most of the civil servants in Northern Xinjiang were there at that time, and His Highness informed us very seriously." He seemed to be recalling Li Xuan's attitude at that time, and said seriously:
"The king is like a boat, and the people are like water. The water can carry the boat, but it can also overturn it." He Lianrong's eyes became more appreciative, "Your Highness is a great talent, and in one sentence he can explain the root cause of rise and fall through the ages."
"The king is like a boat, and the people are like water..."
Yao Jun murmured: "This... is wrong. No, this is right. The annals of history record the rise and fall of many dynasties, most of which started from civil strife. The people were starving to death, and they would naturally rebel... This is making trouble."
"At this time, the Emperor's ship is probably still in Gaole." He Lianrong said.
Isn’t this what Li Mi is like now?
"Then the ship capsized and the country was destroyed."
Yao Jun raised his head, his eyes filled with brilliance, "Where is your highness?"
"Front."
"I would like to see Your Highness."
Later, Li Xuan stopped by the road.
"I have met His Highness."
After Yao Jun saluted, he asked: "May I ask, Your Highness, does Zhou Shui's words come from the heart?"
Li Xuan glanced at He Lianrong, and the compassionate monk nodded slightly.
"Loneliness means growing up in the countryside."
"Yes, only those who have suffered among the people can understand the suffering of the people and feel compassion." Yao Jun saluted, "The sinner is in the wrong!"
He Lianrong actually convinced this person?
This was also an unexpected joy. Li Xuan smiled and said: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is no great way to do good."
Yao Jun said: "The sinner has good relations with Fang Bo, the governor of Zhongzhou, and is willing to persuade him to surrender."
He Lianyan whispered to Jiang He'er: "This is the method of my Jin Yiwei."
Li Xuan nodded, "That's fine."
Yao Jun tidied up, came to say goodbye before leaving, and asked: "Your Highness, isn't he worried that the sinner will never return?"
"In terms of hatred, Gu only hates the false emperor and his son. The rest of the people are all Gu's relatives. Whether you come or not, you are still a Tang Dynasty person, so why should Gu be angry?"
Yao Jun sighed and saluted, "Only a king can describe His Highness's mind. The sinner was wrong in the past, very wrong."
After Yao Jun left, Wang Laoer couldn't help but ask, "Is His Highness really not angry?"
"Of course." Li Xuan looked serious.
On the other side, Helianyan told Jielong, "If Yao Jun doesn't come back, even if he searches the world, I, the Jinyi Guards, will kill him."
"yes!"
…
While camping that day, Li Xuan received the news.
"There are troops from the south entering Zhangzhou and Guanzhou."
Li Xuan was stunned, "Isn't that old dog worried about Shi Zhongtang's unification of the south?"
…
"You're here?"
Fang Bo and Yao Jun have been close friends for many years, but now they were looking at him with complicated expressions.
"Surrender!" Yao Jun sat down unceremoniously, "I was confused before, thinking that Zhengshuo was Zhengshuo, and it was His Highness who woke me up. Compared with the false emperor, the world is the most important."
Fang Bo sighed, "It would have been better if you had come a day earlier."
"What's the meaning?"
"Take it!"
Several men rushed in and controlled Yao Jun without any explanation.
"Old Fang!" Yao Jun said in disbelief: "You actually ambush me?"
Fang Bo smiled bitterly, "Look..."
Two men appeared behind Fang Bo, with strong auras.
"It's the people from the mirror who have arrived." Fang Bo said helplessly: "The army from the south has also arrived."
"Your Highness is going south to quell the rebellion. Is he crazy?" Yao Jun stared, "Isn't he afraid of Shi Zhongtang's unification of the south?"
…
"I would rather leave the south to Shi Zhongtang than watch that scoundrel go south."
The emperor took a sip of wine and looked at the dissolute Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor hugged the palace servant and burped, "Guanzhong is the foundation."
When the Tang Dynasty was founded, there was discussion about where to build the capital. The ministers discussed it a lot, and finally decided on Chang'an.
"Guanzhong is fertile and wild for thousands of miles. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is the foundation of the emperor." The emperor said: "I only need to defend Guanzhong, and that bastard will fight against Shi Zhongtang. I will train my army in Guanzhong, and when they kill both sides, we will be injured."
The army attacked and defeated two groups of thieves in one fell swoop."
The Supreme Emperor said calmly: "You need to be careful of someone making trouble in the pass. I think you should have more people around you to protect you."
"There are only so many guards in the palace. If there are more people on my side, naturally there will be fewer people here in Aye."
The emperor looked at the Supreme Emperor with cold eyes. He suddenly stood up and said, "Here comes someone!"
"His Majesty!"
Han Shitou came in.
The emperor said: "Search."
The guards searched for a while and found dozens of armors and weapons at the back.
The armored weapons were thrown away in the palace. The emperor looked at the Supreme Emperor and said, "I thought that my management of this palace was airtight, but it was still infiltrated by Aye. I know what Aye wanted, but I did it. Aye
Yeah, just give up!"
The Supreme Emperor smiled and said: "You rebellious son, now that you have betrayed all your relatives, will you have nightmares at night? Even if I die, I will not be able to spare you even if I turn into a ghost!"
The emperor waved his hand, and a guard came forward with a long bow in his hand.
This means preparing to hang the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor smiled and said: "Mom, I was wrong, hahahaha!"
Although Emperor Wu was strong, he was seriously preparing for his succession to the throne. However, Li Yuan was afraid of his strong mother, and under Li Bi's instigation, he simply launched a palace coup.
The emperor took the long bow, hesitated for a moment, and then gave it to the guard.
He had no hesitation in killing his son, but he was worried about retribution when he killed his father.
The guard slowly walked towards the Supreme Emperor.
Plop!
Han Shitou knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
The emperor looked at him with a sneer, "Why do you want to plead for this old dog?"
Han Shitou lowered his head, "The current situation is chaotic. If the news of the death of the Supreme Emperor spreads, the world will be shocked and the situation will change. And I am worried that some villain will take the opportunity to ruin His Majesty's reputation..."
In fact, everyone in the world knew that the emperor had imprisoned his grandmother and biological father, and the people in the palace were well-connected, but no one dared to say it.
Shitou is right. If the old dog dies at this moment, people all over the world will speculate whether it was me. Furthermore, if Shi Zhongtang rebels, that scoundrel raises an army to rebel. If the news of the old dog's death comes out at this moment, the people all over the world will feel it.
This is the trend of the emperor's sunset...
"Get up!" The emperor helped Han Shitou up with his own hands, "If you look at the world, the person who is most loyal to me is Shitou."
When the emperor was happy, he immediately rewarded Han Shitou with several beauties and five hundred thousand yuan.
Han Shitou thanked him and resigned.
Later, Sun Laoer pretended to report something and came to Han Shitou, praising: "Thank you, otherwise that old dog would have died."
"We have carefully raised this father and son over the years. Seeing the two old dogs getting fat and strong, we feel very happy!"
Han Shitou said softly: "God can't decide whether they live or die."
"Only Your Highness!" Sun Laoer's eyes were filled with hatred.
"It's time for these fat pigs to be released!"
…
"Your Highness, Xingzhou is heavily defended."
Li Xuan was a little surprised after receiving the report. In his opinion, people like Yao Jun were determined and would not change their direction easily once they decided on it.
Why is this?
"Prepare to attack the city."
Since peace cannot be achieved, give them swords and guns.
…
Fang Bo and Yao Jun were locked up together.
There were still several of Fang Bo's confidants in the prison, but they were all silent at the moment.
"You are the most pedantic person, why did you suddenly become enlightened?" Fang Bo asked his friend curiously.
Fang Bo scratched his head, "It turns out that I was in a daze, and all I could think about was loyalty and loyalty. When I saw Your Highness that day, I thought I would be scolded, but what I said made me feel uncomfortable.
.”
"What did he say?"
"His Highness said, the so-called Zhengshuo is not the emperor, but the common people!"
Fang Bo was startled, "What do you mean?"
"Whoever can get the support of the people is Zhengshuo." Yao Jun said.
"Then... wouldn't it be possible for someone with mud legs to become an emperor?" Although Fang Bo was more open-minded than him, he thought this was a joke.
"Then, what's the point of having an emperor in the world?" After Yao Jun got enlightened, he understood everything.
"Rule the world." Fang Bo thought thoughtfully.
"Why do you want to rule the world?" Yao Jun said, "To climb into the ashes? To ignore all the people in the world and let the carnivores annex the fields wantonly?"
"But..." Fang Bo covered his forehead, several concepts colliding in his head.
Yao Jun lowered his voice, "This world belongs to all people. Your Highness said that the king is the boat and the people are the water. Water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it."
"The king is the boat, and the people are the water." Fang Bo's eyes suddenly lit up, "Water can carry the boat, and it can also capsize it. How wonderful!"
Yao Jun smiled and said: "Your Highness is approachable, but he is not angry or intimidating. What I said made me sweat all over my back. Tell me, what will happen if Your Highness takes over Chang'an?"
"The emperor who can say these words must be a wise king." Fang Bo slapped his thigh.
"What are you going to do?" Yao Jun was startled.
Fang Bo clapped his hands.
Two jailers came quietly, and one of them saluted, "Your Majesty, one of the two stakes on the mirror stand was taken away, and the other was drugged in the water by the brothers, and he is now unconscious."
"medicine?"
Yao Jun used to be a good person, so he didn't understand this.
The jailer chuckled and said, "Sometimes there will be some tyrannical people in the prison. If they want to be taken out and beheaded or transferred to another place, they have to be drugged. After taking this medicine, my waist will not be sore and my legs will not hurt... I will have a good sleep. Half an hour is said to be a fall in half a step."
The cell door opened and Fang Bo stretched, "Brothers!"
Why is this person so ruthless?
Yao Jun, an old friend for many years, sneered.
"exist!"
One by one, the confidants came out of prison.
"Follow me, take back Zhongzhou and welcome His Highness!"
…
Zhou's envoy has arrived.
He stood by the road, looked at the Chinese army with a smile, and saluted, "Zhou Po, please see your highness."
The Chinese army stopped, and someone immediately took Zhou Po over.
Li Xuan looked at Zhou Po under the banner, and He Lianyan beside him whispered: "Zhou Qin was dormant at home many years ago and did a lot of things secretly. When the puppet emperor, Yang Songcheng and others were preparing to deal with the Zhou family, Zhou Qin's The sudden counterattack was extremely sharp and caught the opponent off guard. The person in charge was Zhou Po."
"I've met my uncle."
Zhou Po saluted.
Then, he saluted again and said, "I have met His Highness."
Let’s talk about kinship first, which is the meaning of affection.
"Why did my father-in-law send you here?" Li Xuan asked.
Zhou Po smiled calmly, "My family is very happy to know that His Highness has launched an army. Alang sent me here to express his congratulations."
There is no need to send congratulations to Zhou Po.
He Lianrong smiled, "Your Highness, Zhongzhou is right in front of you, and the army is waiting to attack the city!"
"Let's go first."
Li Xuan nodded.
The army arrived at Zhongzhou City.
Zhongzhou is a fortified city that looks tall and generous.
On the top of the city there are numerous figures and weapons.
Zhou Po was originally entrusted with important tasks by Zhou Qin and saw various scenes. When he saw this, he said: "This is a powerful city. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get off for a while."
"Yeah?"
Li Xuan knew that Zhou Po was here to see how his battle against rebellion was going.
Perhaps, the Zhou family is not the only one behind this.
For example, the Wang family and others are waiting and watching.
Shi Zhong was so powerful in the Tang Dynasty that the puppet emperor was defeated and even dispatched troops from the south to stop the Northern Xinjiang army...
How will the general trend of the world go?
Just one south and one north.
At this moment, with the city in front, could the Northern Xinjiang Army be as powerful as the rebels?
