After the Zhuge Liang brothers left, the hall became even more empty.

"Your Majesty has worked hard today, please go and rest!"

Xu Tian said with a slight fist clenching at Liu Xie, who seemed to be ignored.

Liu Xie, who had been sitting in the seat and was almost unconscious in his legs, heard this sentence as if he had been amnestied, and after smiling at Xu Tian, he quickly left here with the support of the inner servant.

For him, today is a nightmare.

This nightmare was even more real to him.

Today, he seems to have re-acquainted himself with Xu Tian.

It was also at this time that he was even more glad for his original decision.

What happened to Zheng Fang and those ministers was obviously that Xu Tian was knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.

Liu Xie understands that this is a warning, this is a warning to him!

It wasn't until after the emperor left completely that Xu Tiancai sat on the floor, leaned on the steps casually, and exhaled a long breath.

"Today's matter, I'm afraid it's not much easier than fighting a battle, what do you say, the king?"

Zhang Tao, the only one left in the hall, laughed, walked to Xu Tian's side, and sat down with his ass in the same way.

"What do you think about today's events?" Xu Tian asked seemingly casually.

"It was a success!" Zhang Tao nodded, not forgetting to praise.

The king succeeded in pointing the contradiction to the issue of identity.

Take advantage of the original contradiction and solve your own troubles!

I can only say one thing below, the king is wise! ”

Xu Tian listened, laughed and then continued to ask. "What else?"

"Warning!" Zhang Tao's eyes flashed brightly, and he spoke.

"The king took advantage of this incident to tell the envoys of the two families that the king will not compromise with anyone, and he is not afraid of anyone coming to make trouble!"

"What else?"

"And that Zhuge Jin, I think if he doesn't withdraw all his people, then his people will never go back!"

"Has anyone ever said you're smart?" Xu Tian tilted his head, looked at Zhang Tao and asked.

"Alas..."Zhang Tao's originally bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and then said seriously.

"The smarter the person, the better it generally ends!"

"Do you think I am?" Xu Tian remained silent and continued to ask.

This time, Zhang Tao didn't answer for a long time, and Xu Tian was not in a hurry, and also waited quietly.

After a long time, Zhang Tao exhaled a long breath.

Then he stood up, came to Xu Tian, and solemnly bowed to Xu Tian.

"I will be born and die for the king, and I will not give up!"

"Hurry up!" Xu Tian also sat up and motioned to Zhang Tao...

…

The two Zhuge Liang brothers, who were sent out of the palace, each returned to the post house at a very fast speed, and after a simple tidying up, they went out of the city almost at the same time.

"Strategist, why are we in a hurry to leave?"

Putting the burden on the horse's back, Zhao Yun looked at Zhuge Liang puzzled and asked.

"Why do you say that?" Zhuge Liang asked rhetorically.

"Isn't this King of Chu targeting Mr. Ziyu?

We are different, from the very beginning, we withdrew our troops.

In today's Xiangyang City, there are only the two of us.

First of all, it is not a threat to them, and then this also shows our attitude!

And I think he's quite happy with us! ”

For Zhao Yun's explanation, Zhuge Liang chuckled and shook his head.

"Let's go! I also want to say goodbye to my brother! ”

After saying that, he turned on his horse and took the lead in galloping towards the outside of the city.

"What the hell does that mean?" Zhao Yunmo rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, got on the horse and galloped away...

…

"Do you know why I left you here?"

In the main hall, Xu Tian leaned on the stairs again, put his body in an extremely comfortable position, and looked at Zhang Tao and said.

"Please make it clear!"

"Well, let me ask you a question, what do you think of human nature, both in your doctrine and in your own thoughts?"

After Xu Tian finished speaking, he stopped speaking and waited quietly for the other party's answer.

He was not in a hurry, and Xu Tian seemed very patient with this kind of crucial discussion.

He also believes that Zhang Tao, who is biased towards Legalist thoughts, will not let him down.

After a long time, the silent Zhang Tao coughed lightly and said slowly.

"Have you heard of the story of King Chu Cheng?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Tian to answer, so he explained on his own.

"King Cheng of Chu had a son named Shang Chen, when King Cheng was young, he liked Shang Chen's mother, so he made him his successor.

But later, King Cheng fell in love with another woman, so he had the intention of abolishing the prince.

As a result, the merchant minister, who was the prince, began to panic.

He went to ask his teacher, Pan Chong, what he should do.

Immediately, Pan Chong asked Shang Chen three questions.

Pan Chong asked: Is Childe willing to accept reality?

Shang Chen replied: No!

Pan Chong asked again: Can the son go abroad for refuge?

Shang Chen replied: No!

Pan Chong asked again: Can Gongzi stage a coup d'état and kill your father?

Shang Chen replied without hesitation: Yes!

As a result, the merchant launched a coup d'état, and the eloquent King Chu Cheng finally died at the hands of his own son, so that he wanted to eat the bear's paw but couldn't get it!

I want to tell the king about this incident in the following to tell the king a fact.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the greatest nature of human beings!

is like this merchant minister, he is more of a son of man as a courtier, is he born to want to kill the king and seize the throne?

No! It's because if he doesn't kill his father, he will lose the throne, and this loss is too great!

Kill him, and you can inherit the throne immediately, this benefit is too great!

Therefore, when there is no huge conflict of interest, people may still pay attention to morality and rules.

But once the benefits are huge, or the losses are huge.

What morals and ethics, what rules and feelings, all are in vain, and they are useless! ”

Zhang Tao's words made Xu Tian fall into a deep silence.

I have to say that his logic is very real, and it is a bloody fact,

He tore off the warmth and trust between people mercilessly, revealing his ugly side.

Xu Tian thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find words to refute it for a while.

"Alas..."Xu Tian sighed lightly, shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's my fault, I have to discuss human nature with you!

I knew that the result would be like this, but I couldn't accept it! ”

Looking at Xu Tian, who shook his head with a wry smile, Zhang Tao also sighed lightly and spoke.

"I know what the king is thinking, and controlling people's hearts is definitely stronger and more real than external means.

But don't forget, for thousands of years, there have been many people who have understood this truth, but no one can really do it! ”

"That's why I need your help!" Xu Tian suddenly raised his head, stared at Zhang Tao and said slowly...
