Gongsun Changming came slowly with two guards, walked to the fence, glanced at the jailer, and said, "Open the door!" ”

The jailer did not dare to slack off and quickly opened the door.

Gongsun Changming strode in, glanced at the wine and food on the table, waved his hand, and the two guards behind him stepped forward, cleaned up the table in three or two, and took out the dishes from the food box they brought and placed them on the table.

Zhang Zhongwu laughed, sat down with a golden knife, and pointed to the opposite side of the hostile ground: "Gongsun, sit!" ”

Gongsun Changming smiled and sat down, and the two guards stood behind him, looking at Zhang Zhongwu with fierce eyes.

Zhang Zhongwu rolled his eyelids, "Gongsun, here, do you still need to be afraid of me?" ”

Gongsun Changming smiled and said: "No one knows you better than me, with my small body, you can kill me Luo as soon as you reach out, I am not as worthless as before, the gold is expensive, I have to guard against you." ”

"You think I'm going to do it to you here?"

"Quite possibly. All along, you don't do it because there is no one worthy of your hands, and I'm different. Gongsun Changming smiled: "If you can kill me and bury you, you will definitely be very happy to do so." Just saw me for the first time, don't say you don't have a murderous intention in your heart! ”

Zhang Zhongwu looked at the other party in a daze for a long time before nodding: "The person who knows me best is really you." If I had the opportunity, I would really do you without hesitation, we had been together for more than ten years, and it would not be lonely to report to King Yama together, right? ”

Gongsun Changming took a sip and said: "I must live well now, watching this Tang Dynasty prosper again, I don't want to accompany you." But old friends who have traveled a long way for many years and will die soon, so it makes sense that I want to come to see you and have a drink with you. ”

Zhang Zhongwu nodded, lifted the wine jug, and filled the glasses of the two with wine.

"This is what my daughter-in-law did, a countryman, and it is also a country flavor." Gongsun Changming picked up the chopsticks and ordered a few dishes in front of him, "The appearance is not too good, but the taste is not bad." ”

"When I was in Liaodong, I knew that you married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a baby, only then did I know that Gongsun Changming had really changed, I remember you told me back then, you have done too many bad things in this life, which is harmful to yin morality, and I am afraid of disasters to future generations, so I am determined not to marry in this life." Zhang Zhongwu said with emotion: "What made you change your mind? Aren't you afraid of having a son? ”

"Lao Tzu already has a son, and he is in good health!" Gongsun Changming proudly raised his glass, "Over the years, the things I have done can be regarded as countless living people, and more importantly, what I am doing has been remedied by countless generations, so I think that the things I have done in the past have been remedied." God has eyes, I did it, he saw it, and naturally it was fine! ”

Zhang Zhongwu was silent for a long time, and also raised his glass: "Anyway, I still want to congratulate you on getting old and having a son, and you are not lonely behind you." ”

"Thank you!" The two of them touched each other and drank it all.

Zhang Zhongwu picked up the chopsticks, ate a few times, nodded and said, "The taste is really unique." ”

"Of course, don't you see how much weight I've gained?" Gongsun Changming pulled his face with a smile, his cheeks, which originally didn't have two taels of flesh, were now much fuller.

The two of you have a cup, I have a cup, and in a moment, a pot of wine went to most of it, and while drinking, I talked about the past when we fought with the Khitans together.

When it comes to having fun, the two slap the table and laugh.

When it comes to grief, the two of them are relatively weeping.

When it comes to passion, the two lead and sing.

Finally, it was said that the last break between the two was reached.

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

"Were you so dismissive of me at the time?" Zhang Zhongwu said sullenly: "If I have your assistance, I may not be able to really make a career." ”

Gongsun Changming shook his head: "At that time, the Tang Dynasty was not exhausted, and if you rashly raised troops, failure was inevitable." Second, you really don't look like a master, and even if you do succeed, it will not be a good thing for you to dawn in this world. ”

"What is the image of the Lord of Man?" Zhang Zhongwu sneered: "The winner is the king and the loser is Kou, Li Ze's kid, is there a portrait of a master?" ”

Gongsun Changming looked at Zhang Zhongwu and said, "At first, it didn't necessarily exist, but over the years, it has become more and more like a master." Now I can be sure that Li Ze will definitely create a great situation that has never been seen in the past, and a new empire will be born in his hands, or he will really be able to create a dynasty that will be inherited through the ages. ”

"Since the inheritance of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, how can there have been more than three hundred years of dynasties in this world? It's not easy to be eternal, Gongsun, if the cowhide is blown too big, it will break! Zhang Zhongwu laughed.

Gongsun Changming looked at Zhang Zhongwu very seriously and said, "Do you think I'm a random joker?" ”

Looking at Gongsun Changming's serious appearance, Zhang Zhongwu couldn't help but froze, this guy can't be serious, right?

But in any case, Zhang Zhongwu also did not believe it.

"Zhang Dashuai, after you showed your intention to rebel back then, I concluded that it was not for no reason that you would be defeated." Gongsun Changming said: "At that time, Datang still had a breath of hanging, at this time, whoever jumped out first would inevitably become the target of the public, not to mention, Lulong, where you are located, is located on the border, although the sergeant is brave, but the economy is worrying, and there is not enough people, just like when you played against Gao Biao, Gao Biao was defeated again and again, but he can always make a comeback, and you are just a big defeat in Yishui River, and your vitality is greatly damaged, and you can no longer recover to its heyday." ”

"You said that Datang's luck was not broken at that time, could it be that in less than ten years, their luck was broken?" Zhang Zhongwu is a martial artist, and he doesn't believe in these so-called luck theories.

"That's your reason. To put it simply, you are the catfish in this pool of water, because of your jump, Li Tang's last breath was finally all used on you, and then it was completely broken. Zhang Dashuai, do you understand? Your army is just making wedding clothes for others, not Li Ze, it will also be Zhang Ze and Wang Ze, you have no possibility of success. Gongsun Changming said seriously.

Zhang Zhongwu looked up to the sky and sighed: "Make wedding clothes for others!" ”

"Yes, the last bit of vitality of Datang has been consumed by you." Gongsun Changming said: "With Gao Yu's illness and death, Li Tang has finally come to an end. ”

"Why do you think Li Ze can succeed?" Zhang Zhongwu was a little puzzled: "No matter how you look at it at that time, Chengde was not a good choice. ”

"At first, I didn't think he could do anything!" Gongsun Changming said with a smile: "It's just that I owe Li Anguo a favor, after all, he fished me out from under your butcher's knife." Originally, I held the idea of returning the favor, and once I saw that things were not good, I would pull out my legs and slip away, and I would find a random mountain and river and spend the rest of my life in peace. But I never thought that this stay was nearly ten years, and Li Ze became more and more like a master, and now, it is a foregone conclusion that he will replace Li Tang, and no one can hinder this process. ”

"At the beginning of the army, I never thought that I would be defeated in the hands of such a stinky boy!" Zhang Zhongwu sighed. "But this person is indeed a generation of heroes, with skills, scheming, ruthlessness, and a way to make money, whether he was his brother back then, or he burned Texas with a fire, you can see the fierceness of this son, now that I think about it, it is not unjust to lose in his hands. But you say he wants to build an eternal dynasty, but I don't believe it. ”

"That's why I obeyed him." Gongsun Changming said. "Do you know Li Ze's analysis of the Central Plains Dynasty's national fortunes of only three hundred years?"

"I want to hear about it!"

"Fifty years of rise, fifty years of reunion, fifty years of class solidification, fifty years of class contradictions gradually intensified, fifty years of continuous conflicts, and another fifty years, finally falling apart!" Gongsun Changming said: "And the fundamental reason for all this is that any dynasty and generation is a family in the world." Didn't you, Zhang Zhongwu, rebel, also want your Zhang family to replace the Li family as the new royal family and create a new dynasty? ”

"Isn't Li Ze thinking so?"

Gongsun Changming smiled: "He is an inheritance, not a usurpation." ”

"Cover your ears and steal the bell, deceive the world and steal your name!" Zhang Zhongwu was dismissive.

Gongsun Changming did not defend himself: "Do you know Yixingtang? ”

"I've heard of it!"

"You may not know that Li Xiang controls the current Tang Dynasty court, relying on Yixingtang." Gongsun Changming said: "What Li Xiang wants to do is to change the world of this family with one surname." After the establishment of the new Tang Dynasty, the emperor's power will be greatly limited, and it will no longer be a certain person or family who will rule the country, but Yixingtang, an organization that gathers elite talents from all over the world. ”

Zhang Zhongwu's eyes widened: "What? Will Li Ze limit his power? ”

"Not bad!" Gongsun Changming said: "This is the biggest difference between Li Ze and you. He was willing to make concessions, he was willing to pull the emperor down from his most sacred position. In his words, there has never been a child of heaven in this world. The emperor is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he will make mistakes, and it is much wiser to use an organization to rule a country than to let a person rule the country, because such an organization will have a strong ability to correct mistakes. The emperor will become a symbol of the country, but he can never decide life and death with a word, and determine the blessing and misfortune of people with a word. ”

"This, how is this possible?" Zhang Zhongwu muttered.

"It's because it's unprecedented, so I'm desperately willing to work for him, I'm willing to give it a try, what if it succeeds?" Gongsun Changming said with a smile: "After taking Chang'an, the first Yixing Society Congress will be held in Chang'an, do you know who is included in it?" These delegates, including farmers, merchants, craftsmen, officials, soldiers, and elites of almost every trade, will appear at this congress, and these people will elect a seven-member delegate to govern the country with the emperor. Since then, such a congress will be convened every five years to examine whether the policies of the past five years have served the interests of the general public, to examine the competence of the seven elected deputies for their posts, and if not, to replace them. ”

Zhang Zhongwu was dumbfounded when he heard this, is there still such an operation?

"Is this what Li Ze brought up?"

"Yes!"

"Can I see him before I die?"

"Li Xiang is on his way back to Wuyi, I think, he will meet you."
