"Heh, you've made such a big fuss and you're not panicking at all, are you?"
Zhou Buyi cupped his hands and said, "May I ask my lord, have you committed any crime?"
"Forehead……"
These words stopped Liu Cong. Zhou Buyi made a lot of noise indeed, and these remarks were indeed shocking, but if you want to ask what crime he committed, there really is no crime that can be pinned on him.
"Xing Daorong, give him a seat."
"I thank my lord, but it's no need. My lord, I just want to sit on the ground." Zhou Buyi rejected Liu Cong's kindness with a playful smile.
In the Han Dynasty, people still knelt down. He had been kneeling for so long. Only a fool would kneel down again.
Liu Cong didn't care about this, "You are quite capable. Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
Zhou Buyi still had that playful smile on his face, "If my lord wants to kill me, there must be a crime, right? Otherwise, how will my lord manage the foundation?"
"If you want to kill someone, do you need to be charged?"
"The emperor also needs to be charged with murder, let alone the lord?"
This is simply fart. Although the law says so, if you really ask the emperor to convict you before killing people, isn't it unnecessary to take off your pants and fart?
The Son of Heaven is an existence above the law. As long as he is within the empire, the Emperor has the power of life and death. If he wants to kill someone, he needs to be convicted?
In today's world, Liu Xie does not have the power to kill people at will, but which of these princes does not have the power to kill people at will?
Liu Cong chuckled, "According to what you say, I can't kill you alone?"
"Of course I can kill him, but my lord only wiped out my body, my will is still there!"
"What do you mean by this?" Liu Cong didn't understand. Can you still exist as a soul?
"Even if I am dead, as long as the Lord thinks of me, he will think of everything about me, including my remarks and opinions!"
Liu Cong was speechless. Isn't this just a way of saying that you can beat me to death, but you can't defeat me?
"Then according to what you say, Gu will still listen to you and tolerate you in every way?"
Zhou Busuo tilted his head and continued, "I didn't say that, the lord said it himself."
"According to your opinion, if Gu is unconscious, you will resist Gu?"
After hearing this, Zhou Buyi seemed to be energized. He sat up straight and said, "Of course I don't want my lord to be stupid, but if there ever comes a day, I will definitely do this. Even if my lord is fighting for hegemony with Cao Cao or Liu Bei,
If you fail, I will do the same thing."
"Like my lord, I only care about the world. Only when the world is unified can the common people live a stable life."
"presumptuous!"
No matter how stupid Xing Daorong was standing by, he could still understand what he was saying. He looked at Zhou Buyi angrily and said, "Why are you cheating like this? You are clearly betting on both ends and you say it so grandly, I don't even have it."
You are so shameless!"
Zhou Bujie replied calmly, "You are the Lingling General Xing Daorong who was beaten by Huang Zhong and then beheaded by Liu Du and his son, right?"
"You!" Xing Daorong's face turned red with anger, "Do you believe I will chop you down?"
"Xing Daorong, be silent!"
"Lord, he..."
"Silence!"
"promise."
Liu Cong looked at Zhou Buyi and asked seriously, "If Gu is destroyed by Cao Cao, who will implement these benevolent policies of Gu?"
"As I just said, as long as it has existed, even if it is erased, it will leave behind will and traces. The people have already experienced my lord's benevolent government. Even if Cao Cao does not implement it, someone will naturally implement it in future generations, and even
Develop it to be even more brilliant!”
Liu Cong stared at Zhou Buyi without saying a word, and Zhou Buyi did not avoid Liu Cong's gaze. His eyes were filled with a clear conscience!
"You go home, and don't think about your job in the school."
"promise."
After Zhou BuYi left, Liu Cong called Duan Kun, "Arrange the Jinyi Guards to keep an eye on Zhou BuYi, and report any movement to Gu. If he wants to leave Jingchu, kill him directly."
"promise."
"Lord, this kid is too presumptuous. Why didn't you let the general chop him into pieces just now?" Xing Daorong was obviously still angry about what Zhou Buyi just said.
His biggest scar was that time in Changsha when he cried for mercy and Zhou Buyi didn't give him any face at all!
"Zhou Bujie has not committed any crime after all. Besides his talents...get out!" Halfway through his words, Liu Cong suddenly remembered Xing Daorong's question last time and told Xing Daorong to get out.
"No." Xing Daorong walked away aggrievedly.
In the main hall, only Liu Cong was left thinking alone.
Zhou Bujie, it’s true that this guy has talent, but he’s a little too arrogant and needs to be polished.
There are many people like this in later generations, and the most representative one is Yu Qian!
After Emperor Jingmen was captured, he petitioned the Queen Mother and directly used manpower to install a new emperor. Even if he died in battle, he would not compromise with the barbarians.
During the reign of Emperor Jingtai, Yu Qian was not the chief minister of the cabinet, but he was better than the chief minister!
It takes hundreds of years for such a talent to emerge. In their eyes, the people and the world are greater than the emperor!
But Liu Cong can't use Zhou Buwei now. You are so arrogant and can't find fault with your words. From now on, everyone will learn from you. Even if it's some nonsense, as long as your words are reasonable, you will be the master of others.
Do you still have to listen to it?
Why did the literati and officials of the two Song Dynasties have such great power? Firstly, it has to do with the Song Dynasty's policy of emphasizing literature and restraining military force. Secondly, the literati of later generations were too shameless.
The Song Dynasty advocated peace talks. What was the scholar's point of view? After spending so much money, we may not be able to win. Why don't we give part of the money to the enemy so that he will not attack us. The most ridiculous thing is that in the Song Dynasty
Most emperors still like this!
If the Liao Kingdom had not had too many problems of its own, it would have been impossible to have a hundred years of peace between the Song and Liao Dynasties. However, this behavior of capitalizing on the enemy also made the Northern Song Dynasty pay a heavy price.
In the late Ming Dynasty, Qian Qianyi said that the water was too cold and his hair was itchy. After shaving his hair, he became a minister of the Aisin Gioro family in a high-sounding manner.
There are too many shameless literati like this in later generations. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the martial arts group could still challenge the literati. After thirty or fifty years, they will definitely use culture to control martial arts!
Zhou Bujie wants to use it, but this kind of rhetoric cannot be taught to others. There are too few people like Zhou Bujie who use this kind of rhetoric with a clear conscience. Most of them are just beasts in clothes.
Liu Cong suddenly understood why Cao Cao in history wanted to kill Zhou Buyi. This kind of person was definitely not something Cao Pi could control. So what kind of demeanor should Cao Chong, another prodigy with the same name as him, be like?
Fortunately, he died.
Let’s talk about Zhou Buji’s remarks, which are the contrast between civil rights and imperial power.
In the feudal era, where did the civil rights come from? If we really do what Zhou Buji said, then what else would the emperor do? If civil rights come first, why should the emperor be inherited by a family?
Most officials in the bureaucracy have the public power to govern the world and local areas, but they exercise their own selfish motives. Gradually, public tools are used for private purposes.
This is an unspoken rule in the feudal era. As long as someone is self-centered, there will definitely be such an unspoken rule.
It has been more than three years since Liu Cong came to this era. He can use various policies to be good to the people, but he will never dare to talk nonsense about giving up imperial power and opening up people's wisdom.
This is seeking death. If he dares to do this, Wang Mang's fate will be his future.
