After Yan Hongxi inherited the throne, everyone present was happy.

Wan Yan Kang laughed: "Uncle Hugh should be alarmed, from now on, you will still be your free prince." As long as you don't make mistakes, no one in the world will dare to touch you. ”

After speaking, he walked up to Tuoba Tietou and said in a deep voice, "Are you guilty? ”

Tuoba Iron Head begged for mercy indistinctly.

Wan Yankang sighed: "Although you should be damned, after all, you have made a contribution to my Dajin, and I will not be connected to your family, and I will make proper arrangements for them." ”

Tuoba Tietou kowtowed again and again, and he was vaguely grateful.

Wan Yankang slapped his palm on his head, and the Tuoba iron head, which was originally tumbling, only came out of the air, and there was no close air, and he twitched a few times on the ground, and there was no movement.

Seeing this, Wanyan Hongxi's breathing became obviously heavy.

Wan Yankang waved his hand, let the soldiers drag away the body of Tuoba Tietou, and said in a daze: "After learning the life and death talisman, today is the first time I have used it, and I hope that there will be no time to use it again in the future." ”

"The handsome is merciful!" Zhou Xiaojiang shouted obediently, and everyone responded in unison.

The more Wanyan Hongxi stayed, the more uncomfortable he felt, but Wanyankang didn't make a sound, and he couldn't propose to leave.

Wan Yan Kang saw Wan Yan Hongxi's embarrassment, got up and filled him with a cup of hot tea, and said softly: "Uncle, you came here today to work, and the things that have been done are not enough, but my nephew still has something to say, and I want you to stay for a while." ”

Wanyan Hongxi nodded again and again: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Wan Yankang glanced at the audience and shouted: "Next, please write down these words one by one." ”

Everyone present rarely saw Yan Kang so serious, and when they heard the voice, they all stepped forward.

Wan Yankang knocked on the table: "I'll tell you a few stories first." ”

"Everyone, do you know the story of Qi Huangong? Whoever can say that eight or nine is not far from ten, there is a reward. ”

Xiao Baili raised his hand when he heard this: "Duke Qi Huan, whose name is Xiaobai, is appointed as the prime minister, implements reforms, and implements the policy of integrating the military and the government and the army and the people, so that the Qi country will gradually become stronger." Zhou Tianzi of the Duke of Qi Huan attacked the Song Dynasty and forced the Song State to sue for peace, thinking that it was a model for the princes. His people also made the king of the king's strategy, the princes of Jiuhe, attacked the mountains in the north, and attacked the Chu State in the south, which was the first hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period. ”

Wan Yankang nodded: "It's okay, let's talk about the story of King Zhao Wuling." ”

Gao Youli responded: "Zhao Wuling Wang Mingyong, when he succeeded to the throne, he was able to fight the enemy before he was weak. His people implemented the strategy of Hufu cavalry and shooting, which made the Zhao State stronger and stronger. During his reign, Zhao swallowed up Zhongshan State, defeated Lin Hu and Lou Fu clans, opened up three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen and Daijun, and built the Great Wall of Zhao, which can be described as the hero of the Warring States. ”

Wan Yankang applauded twice to show his approval, and then asked, "Do you know how the two male lords, Duke Qi Huan and King Zhao Wuling, died in the end?" ”

Compared with the great achievements of the two, although the cause of death of the two is recorded in historical materials, if they are not well-read, it may not be clear.

Everyone present, Xu Daosheng is rich and rich, and he naturally knows these allusions, but with his identity, there is no need to show anything. Wan Yan Honglie is also a person who reads poetry and books, but he doesn't know what Wan Yan Kang means by this, so he just remains silent.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tian Dali came out of his head: "Dashuai, I know this." ”

Wan Yankang nodded: "Okay, you say." ”

"Duke Qi Huan died of illness, and his sons were busy attacking and killing each other, and no one took care of the aftermath for dozens of days, causing his body to be full of maggots. King Zhao Wuling was even more miserable, it is said that he was locked up by his own son and starved to death. ”

After speaking, Tian Dali raised his eyes and looked at Yan Kang, not knowing if what he said was right. Tian Dali read with Wan Yankang when he was a teenager, but he also studied some historical books, but he never liked to read, and he didn't turn over a few pieces of paper after studying martial arts in Shaolin.

Wan Yankang nodded: "What you said is probably not bad, Qi Huan Gong was trapped in the palace for Yi Ya and others to starve to death, his body was rotten, and maggots came out of the outdoors, and he was only able to bury him after three months." King Zhao Wuling was imprisoned in the palace and ate all the birds in the palace, and March was extinct. ”

When Yan Kang said this, he deliberately paused for a moment, then raised his voice and asked, "These two people, both of whom are a generation of heroes, why did they end up like this?" ”

As soon as these words came out, no one answered for a while.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wan Yan Honglie said loudly: "Duke Qi Huan was unconscious in his later years, and he appointed a traitor. After King Zhao Wuling passed on the throne to his youngest son, he felt remorseful and regained the heart of his eldest son, so he got this fate. After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Yan Kang, his eyes full of remorse.

Wan Yankang shook his head: "This is the appearance, not the root. But he didn't go on, paused and said: "There will be humanity in the future, if Gongzi Fusu does not die, Qin Bu II will die." Do you know why Fusu died? ”

When everyone heard this, they spoke one after another, some said that he died at the hands of Hu Hai, some said that he died because of Zhao Gao's tricks, and some said that Fusu himself was too stupid.

After hearing this, Yan Kang shook his head again: "This is the appearance, not the root. ”

Everyone waited to listen to him, but Wan Yankang didn't continue, and said: "Who can say anything about the scourge of witchcraft? ”

Xu Daosheng somewhat understood what Yan Kang meant, so he took over the conversation: "In the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Chong, a favored minister, was ordered to investigate the witch Gu case, and all those involved in witchcraft Gu were not pardoned, and the government and the opposition were afraid, so tens of thousands of people died. Jiang Chong had a gap with the crown prince Liu, so he took advantage of the institution to trap Liu. Liu Ju raised troops to kill Jiang Chong, but was suppressed by Emperor Wu, and the crown prince Liu Ju and Empress Wei Zifu committed suicide one after another, which is known as the scourge of witches. ”

After Xu Daosheng finished speaking, he glanced at Yan Honglie, and said: "The virtuous ministers of the court wrote a lawsuit against the prince, and Emperor Wu was remorseful. ”

Wan Yankang asked again: "The scourge of witchcraft has affected the government and the opposition, implicating hundreds of thousands of people, what is the cause?" ”

Everyone either replied that it was because of the traitor, or because Emperor Wu was too superstitious, Wan Yankang shook his head and continued: "Boiled beans burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle. This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other. Ladies and gentlemen, do you know the origin of this poem? ”

When Tian Dali heard this, he hurriedly raised his hand: "I know this, Cao Cao's eldest son wanted to kill him Cao Zhi, and ordered Cao Zhi to write a poem in seven steps, and Cao Zhi made this poem before he took seven steps." ”

After he said this, he smacked his eyebrows at Xiao Baili a few times, which clearly meant that he didn't keep saying that I was uneducated, Lao Tzu still had goods in his stomach.

Wan Yankang nodded, and said, "Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, but the faint monarch?" ”

Everyone should be together.

Wan Yankang said again: "Tang Taizong Li Shimin, can he be called Mingjun? ”

Everyone nodded.

"One is a faint king, the other is a bright king, the brutality of killing brothers and punishing brothers is generally the same, but why?" Wan Yankang then asked.

Everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't answer.

Wanyan Kang paused for a moment, and then said: "Let's not mention the old things of the previous dynasty for the time being, do you know about the king of Hailing in this dynasty?" ”

There was silence for a while.

Xiao Baili and other young generals who are good at reading are quite aware of the old things of the previous dynasty, but they are not very clear about the stories of this dynasty. Xu Daosheng is familiar with the story of this dynasty, but because the Hailing Dynasty died due to the seizure of the throne by Sejong Wanyan Yong, Sejong is the great-grandfather of Wanyan Hongxi and Wanyan Honglie, but he is inconvenient to speak out at this time.

Seeing that no one answered, Wan Yan Kang said to Wan Yan Hongxi: "Uncle, the story of King Hailing, it is better for you to comment on it." ”

After dealing with the story just now, Wan Yan Hongxi felt that Wan Yan Kang didn't seem to have murderous intentions, and his heart was a little more settled. At this time, Wan Yankang asked, although he felt a little embarrassed to talk about the matter of King Hailing, but he had to take over the conversation: "King Hailing killed the king and seized the throne, his people were cruel and tyrannical, and he killed the clan for no reason, and his people were extravagant and promiscuous, repeatedly killing ministers and taking his wife. Sejong was ordered by heaven and was supported by the government and the opposition, and it was a blessing for me to set things right in time. ”

Wan Yankang nodded: "What my uncle said is very true, Sejong's accession to the throne is really a blessing for my great gold. But was Wan Yanliang so cruel and lewd in the first place? There is a book that Wan Yanliang has been a genius since he was a child, with a majestic and practiced body, and his poetry and writing are unrivaled, and his reputation in the clan is quite good. ”

Wanyan Hongxi couldn't answer.

Wan Yankang got up and said: "The talent of King Hailing is jealous of Xizong, and the rear is resentful. Xizong killed all his brothers, if he didn't fight back, he was afraid that he would have become a ghost under the knife. Therefore, King Hailing killed the king and usurped the throne, in fact, it is no wonder that he is. ”

Wanyan Hongxi bowed his head and said silently, but Wanyan Honglie said loudly: "What Wu'er said is very true!" ”

Wan Yan Kang glanced at Yan Honglie, and then said: "Father and son, brothers, are all close relatives. However, in the royal family, fathers kill their sons, sons kill their fathers, or brothers kill each other, and other human tragedies abound. When I read history since I was a child, every time I think about the things of the previous dynasty and even the current dynasty, I often have relatives in my heart. Tang Taizong said that with history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall. However, why do the events of the past life continue to repeat themselves in the future and become more and more cruel? ”

When Wan Yan Honglie heard this, he thought that Wan Yan Kang's words were targeted, so he hung his head gloomily, and was silent with shame on his face.

None of the others could answer, but Tian Dali replied humbly: "Isn't it just to be the emperor!" ”

Wan Yankang nodded, and shook his head again: "I can't figure it out, but I have occasionally gained something recently, and I have only come to my senses." ”

After speaking, he gestured a killing word in the air with his hand.

"The king, who holds the power of life and death, is the root of the disaster!" When Yan Kang said this, he specially increased his voice a little, which shocked everyone's hearts.

Wan Yankang sighed: "In order to fight for the throne, my brother wants to kill my brother, and my brother wants to kill my brother; In order to seize the throne, the son wants to kill Lao Tzu; In order to keep the throne, Lao Tzu wanted to kill his son; The usurper will kill all his relatives. In the final analysis, it is just because the king has too much power, which makes people greedy and afraid of losing. Once you can't fight for a position, once you lose your position, you may lose not only power, but also your life! ”

Speaking of this, Wan Yan Kang suddenly stopped talking, turned his head to Wan Yan Hongxi and asked, "Uncle, after you became the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, have you enjoyed more wealth and happiness than when you were King Rong?" ”

Wanyan Hongxi was stunned for a while, and suddenly slapped him the thigh, and then laughed: "What the virtuous nephew said is really true!" ”

"I have summoned you here today to ask you to testify that from now on, half of the emperor's power of life and death will have to be removed. New words can be kept, but killed words have to be buried in the soil. When Yan Kang said this, he put his feet on the stone slab with all his might, stepped out a new word and a killing word, and then drew a circle outside the killing word.

Xu Daosheng suddenly brightened up, and said happily: "Dashuai, please elaborate." ”

Wan Yankang said solemnly: "From now on, if it is not a time of war or crisis, from the Son of Heaven to the common people, you must not kill people at will. If there is a violator, the Son of Heaven will be guilty of the same crime as the common people! ”

Xu Daosheng stroked his palms and laughed: "If there is a disciple of the Han family here, if you get this word, you should drink it for three days." ”

Wan Yankang smiled: "Mr. has won the award." I am going to set up a separate court in addition to the Criminal Department, called the Court, to preside over the world's criminal trials, and regard it as the foundation of eternity. ”

When Wan Yan Hongxi heard this, he knew that Wan Yan Kang had such a great ambition and would never harm his life again. His hanging heart was finally completely let go, and he clapped his hands and applauded.

Everyone present shouted in unison: "Handsome Shengming! ”

Wanyan Honglie bowed his head and said nothing, bursting into tears......
