The monarch's father, who had been in a coma for a long time, actually spoke, which made the prince Zhao and everyone excited, and everyone immediately stopped and hurriedly came over and said to the scattered plate: "Your Majesty, are you awake?" ”

Sanpanzi looked at the people around him, and said to Liu Tong and Shi Huo: "You cut it, the widow has something to say to the prince." ”

Since the monarch has said it, what else do Liu and others have to say? Immediately arched his hand and said: "The ministers are retired." ”

Seeing Liu Tongshi Camel leave the palace, Sanpanzi said to Prince Zhao: "Zhao'er, my father will die soon, and the matter of Sanguo will be handed over to you." ”

After hearing this, Prince Zhao knelt down and came to the bed of the loose plate.

"Don't say that, the child hopes that the father can recover as soon as possible and continue to take on the heavy responsibility of dispersing the country." Prince Zhao has always hoped that one day he will be able to take charge of the government of the scattered country, but today, when such an opportunity is placed in front of him, he hesitated and said to his father again and again.

"Child, don't say stupid things, you've grown up, and it's long overdue for you to take on a heavy responsibility. As a father, when you were in your grade, you would have been the king of the scattered kingdom long ago. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched Prince Zhao's face, with a look of pity.

"Son, before you are about to succeed to the throne, my father wants to ask you a few words, and you must answer me truthfully." After the meeting, the scattered plate asked Prince Zhaodao.

"Father, please speak." Prince Zhao replied obediently.

"The first is, after the death of your father, how will you strengthen the scattered country, make the people happy, make the ministers obey, and let the enemy dare not bully my scattered country again." Obviously, the sentence that Sanpanzi wanted to ask had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and usually the father and son had a verbal discord at every turn, and they didn't talk about it to the child properly. Now that he can't do it anymore, if he doesn't ask again, I'm afraid he won't have the opportunity to ask again.

"This?" Prince Zhao didn't expect his father to ask himself such a sharp question in front of his sickbed.

So after thinking about it, he said to Sanpanzi: "If the child inherits the throne, he must expel the ministers, trust the virtuous ministers, and then expand and train the army, teach the people to grow crops, and increase the grain and grass reserves of the government treasury. In the end, the scattered country became stronger. No longer bullied by others, nor does he need the help of any country, he relies on his own strength to gain a foothold in Guanzhong, and finally achieves the goal of becoming stronger and stronger. ”

After listening to Prince Zhao's words, the scattered plate breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed: "It's exactly the same as what Zhou Huan said!" ”

Sanpanzi clearly remembers that Zhou Huan said this to himself back then, and today Prince Zhao almost said the same thing as Zhou Huan, is it his mistake for so many years?

Since the prince said so, Sanpanzi didn't have the strength to argue with him, so he asked softly: "It's really good that you can have such an idea, child, and the widow knows that you are also for Sanguo to become strong." But have you ever wondered who is a virtuous minister and who is a minister? ”

"This?" This is indeed a difficult question to answer, at least at the moment.

Who are the ministers?

Could it be Liu Tong, if Liu Tong is a minister, what is the monarch's father? The monarch's father believes in this person so much, is he a faint monarch who favors and trusts his ministers?

Who is the wise man?

Prince Zhao was not easy to answer.

However, when he looked at the expectant eyes of his father, Prince Zhao had no choice but to say: "Virtuous ministers are those ministers who are dedicated to earning honor and benefits for the country, such as the deceased old minister Zhou Huan. Ministers are those courtiers who make the monarch unfavorable to the government for personal purposes and do not want to be strong. ”

Although Prince Zhao did not clearly say who was the minister, his words were already very clear.

After listening to it, he said softly: "I understand, but my father still has to tell you a word, sometimes blindly seeking force and seeking greatness will lead to the wrong country." ”

"But Father, the current scattered country is poor and weak, if you don't work hard, you will eventually go to the danger of destroying the country." Prince Zhao said eagerly.

"Destroying the country? With the Qin people guarding the north for us, the scattered country will not be destroyed, at least for the time being. Although he was already very weak, his mind was not completely dull.

"But Father, although the Qin people at this time seem to be stationed in the north for us, who dares to guarantee that the Qin people will not become a big trouble for us in the future?" Since the monarch's father mentioned the Qin people, the crown prince Zhao asked directly.

Sanpanzi really didn't want to answer this question, and over the past few years, the father and son didn't know how many times they had quarreled over this issue. But this time is different, this time will be the last time Sanpan will talk to Prince Zhao about this matter, "Child, then in your opinion, which one of the Qin people or Rong Di will eventually become our enemy?" ”

Which one will eventually become the enemy of the scattered nations?

Prince Zhao had also thought about it before, but he never understood that in his opinion, the Qin people and Rong Di came to the territory of the country in an attempt to disperse the country. It's just that the Qin people's methods are more tactful, using deception and tactics and other means; And Rong Di is much more direct, as long as he comes over, the soldiers and horses will meet each other, and he will be blinded on the spot.

"Erchen only sees it, or Rong Di will be our enemy in the end." Compared with Rong Di, the enemy of the Qin people will still be Rong Di.

"You are glad for the Father to have this understanding. After the death of my father, I don't want you to be able to get along with the Qin people in the north, but I hope that you don't fight with each other. Cooperation is a both, and a war is a lose. Besides, the current Qin people actually didn't take advantage of our scattered country, and no one wanted to live in Longchuan in the first place, so it was just a reason to give the Qin people. "It's a little tiring to say so many things in one breath.

"The boy wrote it down." Prince Zhao replied.

For the Qin people in the north, Prince Zhao actually hated it for a long time.

In fact, for Prince Zhao, it was not that he hated the Qin people who came to garrison Longchuan, but that he hated the origin of the Qin people. What he looks down on the most are these little Qin people from the western region, who have low status, ugly appearance, and are not particular about life, etc. In short, he can't get used to everything that has something to do with the Qin people.

When studying in the royal family, Prince Zhao, Yu Shifu, Zhong Geng and others often joked about some countries and ethnic groups, in addition to their few princely states in Jin, including the Jin State and other foreign princely states would be joked about by them. Of course, the most we are talking about here are those Qin people from the western region. is such a vulgar Qin man who was joked about by himself and his classmates, and was invited by his father to help Sanguo garrison the border.

Prince Zhao's face was completely unbearable, no matter what, Sanguo is also the princely state of the royal family! How can you deal with the Qin people?

In the ridicule of others, Prince Zhao must come up with various ways to drive the Qin people away from Guanzhong, which is not only for the sake of dispersing the country, but also for his own face.

Just when Prince Zhao's thoughts were anchored, Sanpanzi continued, "Zhao'er, there is one more thing for my father. ”

"Huh?" The crown prince said indifferently: "Father, please speak." ”

"If you succeed to the throne, please leave a way for Liu Tong to live, after all, he is also a person who has contributed to the dispersal of the country." The loose plate said angrily.

It seems that the relationship between the monarch and this person is indeed not ordinary! Before he died, he did not forget to intercede for him.

Prince Zhao nodded muranly.

"Alright, I'm leaving." The loose plate said this sentence with the last of his strength, and his eyes were closed forever.
