King Cheng seemed to be talking to himself: "Back then, I competed with the imperial brother for succession, no papers, martial arts, and the imperial brother was under me, but my father made him the crown prince just because the imperial brother was born a year earlier than me, because he was the eldest son of the emperor!" I was not convinced, Emperor Wu of Jin knew that his eldest son was stupid, but he insisted on establishing a long and not virtuous, which led to the rebellion of the Eight Kings; Tang Gaozu established the virtuous and did not stand up, creating a 300-year prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty...... Why can't my father have Li Yuan's pride (Li Yuan passed on the throne to Li Shimin?) He was not coerced by Li Shimin, besides, he wanted to pass on the throne to his eldest son, but his eldest son had already been killed by this son)? ”

The emperor sighed: "Uncle Huang, are you still angry because of the emperor's grandfather's inheritance of his father's throne?" Do you really think that the emperor's grandfather is passed on to his father because of his father's status as the eldest son? ”

"Isn't it? On military affairs and governing the country, what is the comparison of the imperial brother to me? If the father really has the determination to be virtuous and not to be long, this throne will not fall into the hands of the imperial brother at all! Since my father didn't have this determination, then I had to fight for what should have belonged to me by myself, I endured humiliation for decades, and finally waited until today, who knows that people are not as good as heaven, and in the end it is still a failure! King Cheng was a little excited.

The emperor came to the rescue: "Uncle Huang, you are wrong!" I once heard my father say that my grandfather once said to my father that what my father did was benevolence, kindness, and forgiveness; And Uncle Huang, you believe in tyrants, kings, and the way of expansion. If the country is peaceful and the treasury is full, the emperor's uncle must be the emperor and expand the territory for the country. However, at that time, our country had alien tigers in the north, and there were Tibetans and Yi people in the west, and they were afraid of internal and external troubles. If the emperor's uncle is appointed as the emperor, the emperor's uncle will definitely disregard the national situation and repeatedly raise troops, which will inevitably lead to the lack of the national treasury and the withering of the people's livelihood. In the meantime, the people who have no food and stomach will rise up, and the country will not be a country! ”

"Excuses! For the monarch, when there is the determination and courage to break and stand up, sweep away the world with the power of thunder, when there is no strong enemy outside, no elbow trouble inside, and then resume production and develop people's livelihood, how can we look forward and look backwards, and be afraid to move forward! If you know that there is a disease, just because you can't stand the pain of medicine and acupuncture, you can sit back and watch it worsen, and you will only get terminally ill in the end! ”

"There is some truth in Uncle Huang's words, but forgive my nephew for speaking boldly, my nephew thinks that Uncle Huang's actions are too extreme, if we sit idly by and ignore the situation that the people are hungry and have no food, cold and clothing, and no sleep at night, and blindly crusade by force, it will only make the people centrifuge and shake the foundation of the country! Uncle Huang is familiar with history, and passers-by will not know the allusions of the purpose! It was precisely because of the siege of Han Gaozu Bai Deng, who had the courage to swallow humiliation and exchange peace for decades of peace between Han and Hungary, that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went out of the desert and raised his authority on the grassland! At the time of the death of the emperor's grandfather, our country could be said to be in internal and external difficulties, the soldiers were weak and lacked training, and the finance and taxation were seriously insufficient. In this way, the imperial grandfather made a trade-off between you and his father, and the imperial grandfather knew that his father would not rush to send troops to sweep away foreign races, but would take the strategy of first internal and then external, and after the national strength was restored, he would solve the problem of Tibetans and Yi people in parallel with military crusade and benevolence, and then train elite soldiers to eliminate the troubles of foreign races forever! And if the imperial uncle inherits the unification, he will definitely ignore the domestic predicament, increase the army in the north, and fight to the death with the alien race, because the imperial uncle is a person who would rather bend than bend, and you can't accept that the little alien race is always hanging over your head like a knife! Of course, if you do this, you may wipe out the alien race in one fell swoop, but in terms of the military strength of both sides, our army was far from being an alien opponent at that time, and if you must hit a stone with an egg, the result is self-evident! Uncle Huang said that governing the country is like curing diseases, which is good, but you can't just pick it up because you have a sore on your foot! ”

"Why not? Just because I can't stand the pain for a while, I listen to it, and when it worsens, I may lose my whole leg or even my life! ”

"Uncle Huang is not curing diseases, but harming people! The wise doctor will use the medicine according to the patient's physical condition, the same disease, occurs in two people, the medication may also be very different, according to each person's background, personality, environment, physical condition and other factors and reasonable combination of drugs. Healing is not a disease, it is a person! ”

……

After arguing for a long time, neither of the two could convince anyone.

King Cheng said: "Okay, the emperor's views cannot be accepted by the ministers, and the emperor's ideas cannot be agreed with by the emperor, and there will be no results for three days and three nights!" If the king is defeated or defeated, the minister has failed, and he has no right to continue to argue! ”

"Uncle Huang, in fact, you have no chance of winning this battle from the beginning! Or that you don't have a strong desire to win! You know, as I grow up day by day, I will eventually get out of your control, your power will slowly weaken, you are unwilling, you want to prove yourself! ”

King Cheng smiled and said nothing.

"Uncle Huang doesn't have to deny it, I think, the 80,000 troops going north must be the only one who is the head of Uncle Huang! If Uncle Huang has the desire to win, you can order them to return to the capital, join forces with you, and attack the city! If Uncle Huang has these 80,000 horses to help, even if I order Cheng Sheng and Kang Yan to come back to help, you may also be able to take the capital before they arrive in Beijing! But Uncle Huang is a patriotic person and a Han nationalist, and you are afraid that I will make a desperate bet to send Cheng Sheng and Kang Yan back to help, so as to give other races a chance. You are afraid that once the north loses Cheng Sheng and Kang Yan's checks and balances, the alien race will raise troops to invade the south, so you ordered these 80,000 people to be stationed on the front line of Shanhaiguan, not to prevent Cheng Sheng and Kang Yan from returning to help, but to prevent the alien race from crossing the Shanhaiguan and going deep into the hinterland of our country, looting my property, killing and poaching my people, and destroying my country! ”

Obviously, the emperor expected it to be true, and a smile appeared on King Cheng's face: "Isn't the emperor the same?" The attack was so fierce that the emperor gritted his teeth and did not transfer a single soldier from the north to help! I think that on the last day of the battle, there will probably only be 30,000 or 40,000 remnants in Beijing! The emperor's courage is really not small, if it weren't for the accident, I'm afraid that today you and I will have to reverse our position! ”

"Not bad! If I must lose my country, I also hope to fall into the hands of the emperor. Uncle Huang will be kind to our people, and the aliens only think about killing, robbing, and perishing! ”

King Cheng nodded: "The emperor understands the righteousness and admires it!" The minister wants to ask the emperor for something! ”

"Uncle Huang doesn't need to say much, I know what Uncle Huang wants! I promised Uncle Huang that except for a few people who committed the most heinous crimes and must be beheaded and punished by the law of the country, I will not be embarrassed by the rest of the people! ”

King Cheng hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, at this time, the minister is willing to kowtow to the emperor!" With that, he kowtowed three times.

After taking his seat, King Cheng said again: "Now that the city is in ruins, the emperor has every opportunity, and there is no need to waste time on the sinner of the minister!" Go, go and help the people return to a peaceful and tranquil life, and atone for my sins! ”

"That's good, I will sprinkle tea instead of a cup of Uncle Huang!" The emperor picked up the tea that was already slightly cold, and the two lightly touched the cup.

"My nephew is gone, Uncle Huang is going all the way!"

"Remember to be kind to the people of the world, go!"
