Liu Hun curiously read the report of the Luoyang rebellion, and replied to Liu Bei sarcastically: "Father, what does this Luoyang rebellion have to do with the people?" No matter how I look at it, it's like a dog that has lost its bones barking. ”

Liu Bei laughed: "Hun Er really looks at things and points directly to the hearts of the people. Yes, the edict does not mention whether the people's lives have improved, and does not mention what the emperor's situation was in the past, and what is the current situation? It is only said that he has no authority, so he wants to carry out a coup d'état. The dog that lost the bones - it is exactly like this, all the emperors of the world are dogs, they regard the people of the world as bones in their bowls, how could they ever think of treating the people as people? There is a saying: Qin loses its deer, and the world chases it - this is still a civilized saying. There is also a saying that the authority of the world is regarded as a tripod. What is Ding, the pot for cooking rice in ancient times. ”

Liu Bei stood up, walked around the house excitedly, and continued: "Lu Ding Lu Ding, whoever holds Lu Ding can fish and eat the people of the world, treat the people of the world as slaves, and treat the property of the world as his own interest. Who cares about the life and death of the people? The princes claim to be kings and hegemons, and the so-called domination of the world is just a group of heroes competing to be dogs, a dog that grabs bones. I alone do not fight for hegemony, but I want the people of the world to be no flesh and bones from now on. ”

"Have you ever seen two dogs snatching food?" Liu Bei asked.

"Seen".

"The current situation is that two dogs are grabbing food, one is the emperor, and the other will never be me. Maybe it's Cao Cao, maybe it's Sun Quan. However, the world has changed, and the people are not willing to be silently a bone - have you ever seen that piece of meat and bone that was snatched and eaten? ”

"Yes. It was knocked out of the bones and sucked by the dogs, and lost all its flesh. ”

"How do the bones feel?"

"Who cares for thousands of years?"

"Two dogs eat each other, and the bones will help that side?"

"Bones will also go to war, unheard of."

"Yes, the bones don't care who wins in the end, anyway, whoever is in power will knock out the bones and suck the marrow of them and eat their flesh. Therefore, it makes no difference to the common people whether the victor is Qin Emperor Hanwu, or Nurhachi or Genghis Khan - because they have always been slaves, and whoever is in power enslaves them. Therefore, in my Han Dynasty, it is more difficult to find a Confucian priest than a widow who has lost her virginity, because they are more sober than the common people. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties have said: the more knowledge, the more reactionary. They would rather the people be reckless, would rather let our nation decay, and would rather rule the world with a policy of foolishness, in exchange for their personal stability, and eat the people as fish and meat. From this point of view, the emperor's degree of treason was no less than that of Confucianism.

From now on, I want the people of the Han Dynasty to no longer be willing to be slaves, and I want the people to participate in the struggle of the world; The existence of the government depends on the choice of the people; I want this great man's country to no longer be built on deception and foolishness, and I want this great man to tell the truth to stabilize the country; I want the people of the world to know their power and dare to ask the government for their rights. From now on, whoever dares to take the people of the world as fish and meat, I want him to be unstable. ”

Liu Hun shook his head: "Genghis Khan? Nurhachi? What a strange name. I don't know who the hero is? ”

Liu Bei was a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake in time and space." ”

Liu Hun almost fainted: "Time and space? And what does that mean? ”

Liu Bei changed the topic in embarrassment: "Hun'er, how do you think we should start this matter?" ”

Liu Hun said in a daze: "Father is high, but Hun can't catch the horse." However, the power of life and death is so tempting, how can the superior be willing to give it up so easily? The people are ignorant and accustomed to being slaves, so some people cry out, and they do not necessarily want to follow them. What my father was going to do was unfathomable. ”

"If you don't break it, you can't stand it, let me break it first and then stand up. I want to completely overturn what people have thought for thousands of years to be righteous, so that the people will have to look for new ideas to replace the old ones. I have spent a hundred years of hard work subtly removing old ideas from the chaff and putting new ideas deep into the hearts of the people. As long as my Han looks forward to the future, the change of dynasties is no longer for the purpose of fighting for power and profit, no matter who is in power, the interests of the people must be put first, and it will last for thousands of years - who can replace the strength of my Han Dynasty?

Since the people have awakened, how dare the superior violate the great disapproval of the world? As for saying, 'No one is willing to give up power easily,' then come, I have the backing of the four prefectures of Qingji, Liao, Korea, and Riguo (Kyushu Island), and the undeveloped Qiongzhou, Yizhou, and Xizhou as financial reserves, and I want to let the princes of the world know that if they do not make concessions to me, I will also deprive them of the power they now have."

Come, Hun'er, help me write the order: order the general mobilization of the four states of Qingji and Youyou, and the reserve into a combat state; According to the agreement, Liao, Korea, and Japan each sent troops to participate in the war, and assembled in Guangrao within ten days; The rest of the tribes and subject countries participated in the war directly into the Xihe River of Bingzhou, and were led by President Xu Shu, the former military division. Summoned Xu Shu, immediately launch a general attack, all the way to the west, I will continue to send follow-up troops to ensure the safety of his rear road.

ordered the Jizhou Standing Army to move towards the border of Wei; ordered the Qingzhou Standing Army to enter Mount Tai and prepare to launch an attack on the counties of Yanzhou; Ordered the Xuzhou troops to mobilize according to the agreement, and the troops had been moved to the southern border, and ordered the Qingzhou naval army to be stationed in Moling to block the river.

I will ask the Great Pope Yin Dong and the Grand Chair Guan Ning to come, and I will ask the two of them to jointly act as a guarantor, and invite Cao Mengde, Sun Zhongmou, and Jin Shang to attend the meeting in Pingyin City on the border of Qingzhou to discuss the major affairs of the world, and I will guarantee the safety of those who attend the meeting in the name of Father God and the Moral Grandmaster of the Four States. Tell them that if anyone fails to attend the meeting on time, our army will penetrate into their territory and bind them. Take it all over. In the future, I will never give him a chance to be an equal. ”

"The prosperity of the Spring and Autumn Period, reappear in the world", Guan Ning, who was called, heard Liu Bei's suggestion and was full of emotion: "I don't want me to Guan You'an to live to see the Spring and Autumn Era, and the scene of the princes' alliance will reappear." People's hearts are not ancient, morality is degenerate, since the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes are unwilling to go to the meeting lightly, and they take their own humiliation. Since the founding of the country, the lord has convinced the people with faith, added the four realms with prestige, sat on a strong force but did not raise swords in vain, obeyed the law and was willing to suffer his own punishment, with this faith, plus I and the Pope as a guarantee, the princes dared not to go to the call. ”

"It's not 'going to the call'", Liu Bei corrected: "I went to the meeting on an equal footing with Cao Mengde, Sun Zhongmou, and even now to discuss the next hundred years." There is no relationship between superiority and inferiority, so how can we say 'go to the call'. Faithfulness - Faithfulness in troubled times is not as good as grass, the big chair may wish to tell those people, I bind myself with faithfulness, but faithfulness in troubled times is maintained by swords, they don't give me excuses, let my sheath out of the sheath, if there are those who do not attend, I will take it with the sword. ”

"It should be, the lord can't learn the benevolence of the prince", Guan Ning deeply understood.

Song Xianggong learned benevolence and righteousness, but did not have strong military support, and finally became a laughing stock for thousands of years. Guan Ning was influenced by Liu Bei and enjoyed great honor in Sizhou for so many years, and he had already gotten rid of the pedantic side of Confucianism and was inclined to be practical. The Confucianism he transformed has become known as "Neo-Confucianism". This is based on Mencius's people-oriented thought, with "people's livelihood is the most important", negating the original Confucian's idea of light industry and despising business, and "New Confucianism" pays attention to the innovation of strange and obscene skills, respects the status of folk craftsmen, and proposes "six industries are equally important and eclectic". The strength and prosperity of the four states of Qinghai, Hebei and Youyou, in turn, proved the correctness of the "new Confucianism". Guan Ning's prestige also rose step by step, and he became Liu Bei's most powerful supporter, providing Liu Bei with a steady stream of theoretical tools.

Yin Dong didn't interject, frowned at this time, and said, "Big brother imposes power on Sun Cao, I'm afraid it won't have much effect." These two men were stoic and fierce men, and I am afraid that they would rather die than give in. Once the power is in the hands of an individual, it is not enough to take it back and hand it over to the public. There has never been such a word for compromise in Chinese politics, there is only capitulation, absolute dishonesty on one side against the other. The eldest brother wants to create a new situation in this way, so that there is a precedent for negotiation in the world, and I am afraid that the matter will eventually return to force. ”

Liu Bei nodded and agreed: "Yes, we still have to use force in the end, and Sun Cao is likely to be unwilling to give in." However, I intend to make them feel the power of the people, to let them know that if they do not change the law, they will lose the basis of their rule and everything they have now. ”

"The people are blind, what is the eldest brother going to do?"

Liu Bei stood up and walked to the window. The sun outside the window was extremely bright, and all living beings were constantly coming and going to the market, and the vast wealth and strength made their faces smile with pride and satisfaction, Liu Bei looked out the window intoxicated, and was silent for a while.

Attracted by Liu Bei, Guan Ning and Yin Dong also came to the window and looked out. Liu Bei pointed to the city's citizens outside the window, and said word by word: "See, the people are laughing." Everyone who comes and goes from the market to the market is smiling, they are full of confidence in today, full of hope for tomorrow, and content with yesterday. This is power—this is my king's sword.

With the hearts of the people of the world as the hilt of the sword, the warriors of the four states as the blade, and the mountains and rivers as the armor, please see that I am strong and stubborn, forcing the princes of the world to bow their heads. ”

Guan Ning praised loudly, and Yin Dong sneered: "How can the eldest brother also suffer from the problem of empty words, 'with the hearts of the people of the world as the hilt of the sword, with the warriors of the four states as the blade, and the mountains and rivers as the armor', it sounds majestic, but in fact it is empty." However, I already know what you mean, and there is a bit of hope in the end. Okay, I'll write a letter, big brother quickly make other preparations. ”

Who is Guan Ning, he claps his hands after a little groaning. Contrary to Yin Dong's hesitation, he is full of love for himself, a nominal student, and can even be regarded as a short-term protector. The letter to Sun Cao, he wrote it with flowers, quoted scriptures, and tried his best to invite the two to participate in the "Spring and Autumn Righteous Cause".

How much energy Qingzhou has, Yin Dong can't feel it when he is in it. Guan Ning has always been educated in benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he is not aware of the inertia of the nation and the resistance that China will encounter to change, so he is full of expectations for innovation. However, Liu Bei's decision is a sober understanding that has been repeatedly weighed - Britain, France, and even Spain, the Netherlands and other countries have the largest land area, but it is similar to Qingzhou, and the resources are even inferior to Qingzhou. However, with the vigorous development of business, these countries once controlled the world. And Qingzhou, which got rid of the cruelty of Confucianism, plus the area of Hebei, Youzhou, and Qingzhou, which is several times that of Qingzhou, plus the territory and population of each subject country and tribe, Liu Bei does not seek to rule the whole world, but only seeks a position of checks and balances, which is humility.

When the entire Han nation lays down its swords and guns to seek political consultation when it settles its own internal affairs, the entire nation will unite into a joint force, giving the Han nation a development opportunity that has not been turbulent for a thousand years and has no dynastic change, and the fate of our nation will be completely changed.

The so-called "general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, divided for a long time" - this "world" is the only Chinese world, even Japan and South Korea, there is no "long-term division must be divided, long-term division must be united", nor does "long-term rule must be chaotic, long-term chaos must be ruled" as a matter of course. If there is chaos for a long time, it must be the reason for the policy. Putting the blame on God, thinking that this is the cycle of heaven - it is unreasonable. What Liu Bei wants to change is the replacement of this turmoil.

After Guan Ning and Yin Dong's letters were sent out of the state, Liu Bei's mobilization order for the whole territory was also issued to all places. At the same time, an order was issued for the one-way opening of the borders of Qingdao, Xuzhou, Hebei, and Hebei. This order required that the four prefectures of Qing, Xu, Hebei, and Hebei accept people living outside the territory into Liu Bei's territory, and they could apply for naturalization near the border and become civilians in Liu Bei's territory. Among them, young and strong men were assigned to the reserves, women and children were assigned to various farms, and the old and weak were put into factories and trading companies to work. The families of reservist men are supported by the government, and their children can attend schools and receive free education.

The burden of Qingzhou's population is relatively light, and in recent years, Liu Bei has frequently attacked, defeated the major tribes in the north, and captured countless horses. The tribes attached to the north also provided a large amount of wool, cattle and horses for the four states. Under the ban on castration, cattle and horses were no longer one-time consumption items, and the promotion of heavy horseshoes made horses replace cattle as the main animal power, and agricultural labor productivity was greatly improved. The development of industry and commerce made Liu Bei's administration unprecedentedly prosperous. Abundant goods, strong sales force, efficient productivity, stable social environment, and a small population base make Qingzhou rich at home and abroad.

In the past, the doctors of the Han Dynasty had the luxury of eating meat once a month, and the people in Liu Bei's collar could eat meat every day as long as they had money. And eating ordinary meat to show the special people of Qingzhou, now, Qingzhou popular to eat whales, sharks, shrimp, crabs, and overseas treasures. This kind of life has spread to other counties, and it has been spread to the gods.

What is especially enviable to the people of other counties is that the people of Qingzhou have the power to manage themselves - as long as they earn enough military merits, they can enter the Senate and supervise the administration of local officials. And even if they can't enter the Senate, they can also enter the veterans' club and express their political opinions through the club, and at the same time, the pension for the rest of their lives is also guaranteed.

In this way, the abundance in the present and the good expectations for the future have already sketched a picture of paradise on earth for the people of other counties. When people from other places heard the legend, they brought their families and prepared to enter Qingzhou. But the prosperity of Qingzhou was created by the people of Qingzhou, and Liu Bei did not intend to share it with the people of the world. The laws of Qingzhou are strict on this, similar to the Qin realm during the Warring States period, no one dares to take in strangers without identity marks, not to mention, once this kind of people enter the country without permission, the punishment is extremely severe, and it is often punished with the death penalty for espionage.

After several temptations, the people on the border have died of the desire to cross the border. And those people from other places who kept coming to look for opportunities to cross the border, under the persuasion of border residents, although they did not dare to go deeper, they could not bear to leave, they stayed at the border, and eventually formed countless border towns with false prosperity. The princes adjacent to Liu Bei were afraid of angering Qingzhou, and they did not dare to persecute these people excessively, which also made these border towns a rare paradise.

Liu Bei's one-way border opening order was reached, which was undoubtedly a blessing for these border residents, on the day the order was issued, the border town came out empty, people abandoned their homes, threw away a room of furniture, called friends, and clenched their fists only on the road, along the way, it was full of people's shouts: "Hurry up, this border doesn't know when it will be closed, hurry up, run into Qingzhou is victory." ”

"the kid, throw the package away, Qingzhou has a settling-in fee, the package is not worth a few dollars, don't miss a big deal for it."

"Kid, grandpa can't run. You are strong, run in front first, apply to join the army as soon as you arrive in Qingzhou, and when you have military merits, even if we can't catch up with the border, the army will send someone to pick us up, run, run over, and the whole family will have hope. ”

At a glance, the Qing, Xu, Hebei, and the border were full of running crowds, and the direction they were moving in unison to the opposite border. The crowd swept by, and the man who fetched water threw the bucket into the well; The farmer throws his tools in the field; The man who was repairing the roof tiles jumped before he could even use the ladder; Pedestrians in the market did not have time to go home, so they threw down their goods and ran; When the sergeant guarding the city gate heard the news, not only did not stop him, but threw down his weapons and followed the crowd; Even, some border officials took off their official robes and ran to Qingzhou with their wives and children. On both sides of the road, there are packages, belongings, and clothes discarded by the crowd. Whereas in the past these things would cause mass looting, now the running crowd treats them as weeds on the side of the road, and not only stops for them, but increases their numbers.

On the second day, the avalanche effect began. Several towns on the border have become ghosts at this time, and the crowd of people crossing the border has expanded to farther places, and is developing more and more deeply into the territory of Sun and Cao, and on the land of spring, hundreds of thousands, no, millions of people are running, and they are aiming at Qingzhou. When thirsty, drink water in the ditch by the roadside; I don't dare to stay when I'm tired, I only dare to slow down; When they are hungry, they look for food in roadside packages and eat while walking.

A few days later, the crowds of people crossing the border became more and more huge, and finally a loyal border official sent the information to Sun and Cao, and at this time, Liu Bei's letter inviting the two to attend the meeting also arrived.

"Liu Bei bullied people too much", Sun Cao and the two scolded angrily in unison.

"This is the power of the people", on the top of the Lei Tower, Liu Bei proudly boasted to the officials in the territory: "Everything in the world is people-oriented." When Sun and Cao agree to go to the meeting, I will close the border whenever I want, otherwise, I will empty their people and see who he goes. ”

Or someone suggested to Sun and Cao, saying: "Liu Bei opened the border, and Xuzhou was the weakness of Liu Bei's defense." Although it is a combination of Qing and Xu, Chen Yuanlong is in charge of Xuzhou, and there has been a Guangling Rebellion in the territory, and the Qingzhou Boy Scouts have just withdrawn, and Liu Bei has not stationed troops in Xuzhou in order not to arouse Chen Yuanlong's suspicion. It is better for the lord to march to Xuzhou under the pretext of pursuing the fugitives, and may be able to threaten Liu Bei. ”
