Central Plains Chapter 46 Entanglement
Out of the gorgeous palace, Li Mang felt like a world away for a while, he was a human being in two lives, he had never had an affair, and now he didn't know what to do.
After settling down, Li Mang still walked towards Liu Jing's imperial study.
"Li Mang's son is here, sit down, I don't know what is the matter with Li Mang's son going and returning?" Liu Jing listened to the internal official's announcement, and was also puzzled, didn't he just leave for a while?
"Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you" Li Mang got straight to the point.
"Okay, it just so happens that I also want to talk to Li Mang's son, come here, prepare some pastries and tea, I want to talk with Li Mang's young man at night" Liu Jing seemed to be very happy.
"Your Majesty, I only want to ask you one thing, do you have the heart to dominate Shenzhou?" Li Mang saw that the internal official had also gone down, so he asked directly.
Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded solemnly: "But all kings are ambitious, how can I be an exception?"
Li Mang took a deep breath and said, "I have a reluctant request, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"Let's hear it," Liu Jing wondered.
"One of my brothers has a deep blood feud, and his enemy is the Dawu royal family, he wants me to help him take revenge, and I don't want to be ruined, I don't know what you think?" This question has been entangled in Li Mang's heart, and he has never been able to understand, so Li Mang took this question as the beginning of a long conversation between the two.
"Hmm..."Liu Jing thought about it very seriously before he spoke: "It's difficult to say, it's not difficult to say, it's not difficult to say, it's difficult to compete with the power of a country with the strength of one person, it's not difficult because you still have me, if I send troops, plus your appeal, if you gather some masters to help, it will be easy to take down Dawu."
Li Mang nodded and said: "Your Majesty is telling the truth, but in this way, I will become the initiator of the war, I will become the invader of all evils, and I will become a careerist in the eyes of tens of thousands of people, this is not the main thing, the important thing is that I don't want to die too many people because of me."
Liu Jingjing nodded and said: "Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, in fact, there are not so many sayings, the history books are always written by the winner."
"I agree with that, but I really can't get over it in my conscience, so is there no way to get the best of both worlds?" said Li Mang worriedly.
"No," Liu Jing said very simply this time.
Then he continued: "My sister is obsessed with you, I actually know that I don't want to treat her as a victim of politics, but that is her fate, and the only way to end her fate is to marry her by someone she likes, and only you can do this."
"Your brother wants to use your fame to gather masters to assassinate the emperor of a country, not to mention whether he can succeed, but first to say whether those strong people will help? Do you think that without earth-shattering interests, those people will fight hard for your reputation?"
"Besides, what country can not have some heritage? I admit that you are unique in martial arts, but do you dare to try it now? I dare not guarantee that I can keep you, but I dare to promise that you will never be able to kill me."
Liu Jing was stunned again and again when he said it, did he really see the world too simply?
After a long time, Li Mang spoke: "Your Majesty, I actually went to the eldest princess before I came, and the eldest princess also expressed her heart to me, but I absolutely can't promise to get involved in the political disputes of any country, what do you think?"
Liu Jing stared at Li Mang for a long time before he sighed and said: "My sister I know, let her be, you don't have to have a knot, if you really like it, I will marry you, if you really don't like it, it's okay, explain it to her and leave."
Li Mang lowered his head and pondered for a long time before he smiled: "I don't know if you are a good emperor, but you are definitely a good brother."
Liu Jing also laughed and said: "My younger sister, I have been spoiled by my father since I was a child, and my brothers also love her very much, she has a bit of her own personality, but her heart is really not bad, if you are interested, you will fulfill her, and you can also take her away in the future, but you must not bear her, otherwise, I will not spare you."
Li Mang smiled lightly, as if he was not so entangled, and continued the topic just now: "If I am willing to help you take down Dawu, what do you want me to do?"
Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, and then he was pleasantly surprised, as if he had already thought about it thousands of times in his chest, and blurted out: "I want you to lead an army alone, the army is full of masters in the inner realm, although there are not many people, but they are absolutely elite, perform some assassination missions, assist the combat missions of the army, etc., at the same time, let those self-proclaimed martial arts people in the world see that as long as they serve me, they can also apply what they have learned, they can also make meritorious contributions, pay homage to the prime minister, and at the same time remind them that if they don't obey me, I can easily destroy them."
"Special forces?" Li Mang muttered to himself.
"What troops?" Liu Jing was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.
"Ah, nothing, is this what Your Majesty thinks?"
"Actually, it's not exactly, it's just a wartime idea, if you can stay and help me with peace of mind, I have even better ideas, such as I support you to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, for example, you take the lead in opening the Dynasty Martial Academy, for example, you recruit masters of the rivers and lakes, set up a separate department, inspect the world, etc." Liu Jing became more and more excited the more he said, it seemed that he had sketched the blueprint of a great country in his heart on weekdays.
Li Mang nodded and said: "You are really the emperor's material, what you said is the policy of centralizing imperial power, but there is a strategy to rejuvenate the people?"
Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, as if he had never been praised like this, and then glanced at Li Mang and said eloquently: "In fact, in the final analysis, if you want to rejuvenate the country and rejuvenate the people, you must first dominate the world, and only by holding the imperial power in your own hands can the country's major policies pass unimpeded." Nowadays, the various forces of the dynasty are intertwined, the rivers and lakes and the court, the big clan and the court, etc., are all invisible obstacles, but I don't have the heart to break my wrist, and I don't have the best time to break my wrist."
Li Mang thought about it, nodded understandingly, and then didn't know what to say. Liu Jing seemed to be interested, and continued: "If you can help me, I believe that with your strength and your fame, we can join forces to unify Shenzhou in just a few years, and at that time, my heart will not be a castle in the air, with your support, I also have the confidence to reorganize the dynasty and implement the new policy on a large scale, and at that time, the theory of rejuvenating the people can be regarded as justified."
Li Mang smiled helplessly and said: "Your Majesty has a good reputation, in fact, I have a lot of feelings today, maybe in this world, you can't be alone, if you can't be alone, I think I should do something."
Liu Jing didn't seem to understand, but he seemed to understand, and then nodded and said: "I don't force you, if you just want to help your brother avenge, you can come to me, I promise you, when Dawu destroys the country, it will be the day when your brother's revenge will be avenged, and if you don't want to help me, I have nothing to say, this road, I can go through it myself, but I also hope that you will take care of my sister."
Li Mang nodded, and then stopped talking, Liu Jing also seemed unwilling to force each other too much, and then changed the topic, Liu Jing talked to himself, Li Mang occasionally picked up, fortunately, he has 5,000 years of Chinese civilization as a foundation, and he will not be cold.
On this night, the two talked about politics, people's livelihood, and military ...... Li Mang also listened to Liu Jing explain the history of China to him, and Li Mang occasionally took over the conversation and talked about the essence of Chinese civilization that was patched together, such as Sun Tzu's Art of War, such as the military formation, such as agricultural mechanics, etc., as well as land reform, governing the country according to law, compulsory education, and so on......
In fact, most of what Li Mang said was wrong, or incomplete, but listening to Liu Jing's ears, it was tantamount to opening a new door for him to govern a big country.
This night, both of them benefited a lot, especially Li Mang, who finally had a real understanding of the world.
Fenghua eldest princess, she also didn't sleep all night, heard that Li Mang left here and went to the imperial brother, she thought about it all night, sent the maid to inquire, but came back only said that the imperial brother and Li Mang talked very happily, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time in the imperial study, and there was nothing else.
Fenghua only thinks that the matter of the two people's night talk is related to herself, so naturally she can't rest in peace.
