Yang Feng told the emperor two more stories from the founding period of Taizu for reference.

The last emperor of the previous dynasty was desolate and cruel, so that the world was in turmoil, and the heroes rose together, and there were countless people who competed for the top, attacking and merging each other, and finally there were three most important forces left, and the Great Chu established by Taizu was only one of them, and there were two groups of evenly matched opponents.

The northern Zhao State was founded by Zhuang Chui, like Taizu Han Fu, Zhuang Chui was also born as a hero, became famous earlier, and his status was much higher, and he was famous for his grandfather's generation, and to his generation, almost all the men in the family took Xingxia as their career, Zhuang Chui was the most famous, and was called "the first hero in Jiangbei".

During Taizu's escape, he was also a guest of the Zhuang family, and he had a good conversation with Zhuang Chui, and they regarded each other as confidants, but they turned against each other when they fought for the world.

If it comes to selfishness and ruthlessness, Zhuang Chui is better than Taizu, he has a simple and crude rule: no matter who has received the help of the banker, even if it is indirect help, it is to owe the banker a debt, which must be repaid with interest, and sometimes it is necessary to pay it with life.

Even if the rules are so harsh, Beizhao was the most powerful force at that time for a long time, attracting many heroes to come to defect, the reason is very simple, the dealer is simply a nest of generals, just take out a teenage young man, can lead troops to fight, everyone would rather be burdened with huge debts, but also willing to follow the most promising master.

When the dust settled, everyone looked back and found that one of the most important reasons why King Zhuang was defeated was that there were too many children, blocking the promotion path of other heroes.

Now the rebellion is taking place in the Qi country, was also a powerful force back then, and the heroic Han and Zhuang kings are different, the king of Qi Chen Lun has a noble background, the ancestor is the tenth marquis, and has been running Qi for hundreds of years, and has long been considered by the local people to be the uncrowned king, and he is one of the earliest forces to call the king.

Taizu regards all friends as swords, spares no effort when he uses them, and discards them like clogs when he doesn't use them. King Zhuang regards Haojie as a debtor, and always urges him to squeeze out all the value. Compared with these two people, Chen Lun, the king of Qi, is the real king, almost all the generals under his command are children of the family, at least two generations have served the Chen family, and the heroes from other places defected to the Qi country, so they can only start from the small officials, accumulate attacks and promotions, and punish if they have a mistake.

The defeat of the Qi State was almost inevitable, King Chen had little ambition, he just wanted to occupy his homeland, and then took advantage of the time when Chu and Zhao were fighting for hegemony, and expanded a little outward, as a result, when Taizu and King Zhuang were fighting the most fiercely, they actually abandoned their previous suspicions and joined forces to attack the Qi State, and it only took three months to completely destroy the Qi State.

The most loyal ministers of the Qi State have committed suicide after King Chen, and the strange thing is that many of the suicides are not Qi people at all, but foreign heroes, who have not received much favor from the Chen family, and they also follow the neck or jump the wall in batches.

In short, among the three kings, Taizu Han Fu is by no means the most selfish, let alone the best at winning over heroes, but the result is that he won the world.

"Tomorrow Your Majesty will usher in a new master, who will tell the history of the country, please listen to it and think more." Yang Bong is a facilitator and has no objection to students getting information from elsewhere.

Han Ruzi spent another sleepless night, and when he was listening to the lecture the next morning, the king of the East China Sea asked in surprise when he saw the emperor's swollen eyes: "What's wrong with you?" As if everything is in order, you are the most leisurely emperor in the world. ”

"I just can't sleep." Han Ruzi said with a smile, curious about which old gentleman today's new master will be, and it is strange that the Queen Mother will agree to teach national history.

The new master came, but he was not so old, in his forties, tall and thin, with a majestic appearance, sharp eyes, and a narrow hooked nose pointed at the emperor like a knife.

"Grass man Luo Huanzhang knocks to see Your Majesty." The new master has no privileges, so he has to perform a formal bowing ceremony, and to Han Ruzi's surprise, the king of the East China Sea, who is usually high-flying and domineering, actually avoided the table and returned the salute, which was much more respectful than facing the emperor.

Luo Huanzhang called himself a "grass people", that is, he had never been an official and did not have a title, Han Ruzi remembered what the King of the East China Sea had said, and blurted out: "You are the master of the King of the East China Sea, right?" ”

Luo Huanzhang stood up, "Caomin has taught His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea for a few years, but he has not been able to teach a good disciple. ”

The king of the East Sea blushed and bowed his head silently, as if he was afraid of his master.

Han Ruzi became more and more puzzled, although the Queen Mother and the Cui family had reconciled, after all, there was still competition, and it was really unreasonable for her to summon the master of the King of the East China Sea into the palace.

Maybe Yang Feng will take this strange thing as a problem, Han Ruzi habitually began to think, other masters turned a blind eye to the emperor's distraction, but Luo Huanzhang was not an ordinary person, coughed, and said: "The grass people were ordered to talk about the history of the country, where does Your Majesty want to start?" ”

The first time he was consulted, Han Ruzi was not adaptable, flipped through the books on the table, thought for a while, and said, "Taizu, I want to know why Taizu was able to win the world. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and the question is very good."

The face of the King of the East China Sea turned even redder, for some reason, in front of this common master, he was very honest, and he didn't dare to say a word.

The eunuch brought a small stool, Luo Huanzhang did not sit, stood and said: "The emperor of the previous dynasty was promiscuous, and the ministers were disorderly, so they lost their deer, and the heroes chased them together. Taizu started from cloth, flourished in the mountains and forests, and in a few years eliminated violence and peace, and established the foundation of the world, the reason is actually very simple. ”

The answer that he couldn't find after thinking about it for a long time, Da Ru must have already made a conclusion, Han Ruzi pricked up his ears, for fear of missing a word.

"Benevolence." Luo Huanzhang spit out two words, solemn like a ceremonial official singing in the temple.

"Can you elaborate a little bit?" Han Ruzi was a little disappointed.

"What was lost in the previous dynasty is what Taizu gained. The former court regarded the people as slaves, and brought them to justice with harsh laws, gouging out the eyes of those who looked sideways, cutting off their tongues of those who slandered their stomachs, and cutting off those who spoke evenly. Taizu Longxing, doing the opposite, breaking the law of the thief, establishing the way of benevolence and righteousness, reducing the sentence of the province, resting with the people, in five or six years, there is the world. In the past, when Shang Tang traveled, he saw the catcher spread his net on all sides, and his people said: 'Those who fall from the sky, those who come from the earth, and those who come from all directions all enter my net.' Shang Tang closed the net on three sides, leaving only one side, which said: 'Those who want the left are left, those who want the right are right, those who want to be high are high, those who want to go down are down, and those who commit life are into my net.' More than 40 countries said: "The virtue of soup is related to beasts." 'Go back. In other words, if a bird is caught by opening a net on all sides, and the net is opened on three sides and the nations are obtained, benevolence and righteousness are the three sides of the net. ”

Luo Huanzhang spoke generously, and the King of the East China Sea hung his head, as if he was snickering. Han Ruzi didn't seem to understand when he heard it, and his heart was even more confused, "Taizu defeated King Zhuang and King Chen by virtue of benevolence and righteousness?" ”

Luo Huanzhang's gaze became stern, coupled with the knife-like nose, it didn't take long for the emperor to hang his head and reflect on what he had said wrong.

"Your Majesty must have heard some gossip, what did Taizu say was ruthless and won the world by treachery?"

Han Ruzi was reluctant to betray Yang Feng, so he mumbled vaguely.

"Has anyone ever said these things to Your Majesty: the previous dynasty had millions of soldiers, ears and eyes were all over the alleys, and until the officials forced the people to rebel, the heroes rose together, and in just two years, the last emperor burned the palace and committed suicide, and the country was destroyed, laughing for the world; The Eastern Qi region is thousands of miles, hundreds of cities, Chen is the marquis for ten generations, it can be said that it is deeply rooted, until Chu and Zhao attack together, the Qi country fell in a few months, and more than 860 martyrs were martyred with the king of Qi; The terrain of Beizhao is dangerous, the strength of King Zhuang is unparalleled in the world, there are thousands of fierce generals, 300,000 elite soldiers, everyone is one enemy ten, ravaging the princes, trampling on the country for nearly five years, once defeated, more than half of the sharp energy is gone, and then defeated, the heart is in a trance and does not know what to do, three defeats, King Zhuang committed suicide by cutting his neck, the clan descended to Chu, and the elite soldiers were all used by Taizu. ”

"I've heard a little." Han Ruzi said softly, a little understanding why the King of the East China Sea was so honest in front of Luo Huanzhang, this great Confucian is not simple, his mouth is like a thousand arrows, the listener has no time to parry, and before he understands what he said, he has already surrendered.

Luo Huanzhang slowed down his tone, stretched out his right hand, and slowly clenched his fist, "Your Majesty, please see, bending your hand into a fist, is it better to hold things firmly?" ”

"Of course."

"Your Majesty, look at it again, the fist has become solid, what else can you hold?"

"I can't hold anything, but the real fist is ...... Real punches. Han Ruzi began to understand Luo Huanzhang's intentions.

"Scheming, deceit, courage and ruthlessness are fists." Luo Huanzhang punched out, he is not a martial artist, this punch has no momentum, "The fist can hit people, but it can't attach people." Taizu will use his fists, and King Zhuang and King Chen will also use their fists, and they will hold them tighter. Kezhuang and Chen Erwang were defeated like a mountain, and although Taizu was defeated repeatedly, he could always make a comeback, because Taizu knew how to loosen his fist. The people have been suffering from the law for a long time, and Taizu's benevolence and righteousness are just like the nectar of a long drought, so he won the hearts of the people. ”

"Minxin helped Taizu defeat the enemy?" Han Ruzi asked.

Luo Huanzhang shook his head, "The people are at peace and don't want to fight, Taizu has to rely on his own ability to defeat a strong enemy, but when Taizu is defeated, the people in the rear are not in turmoil. King Chen claimed to be able to raise soldiers and attach to the people, and there were many suicide martyrs, but no people were willing to restore the Qi state. In the battle of destroying Qi, Chu attacked its south, Zhao attacked its north, King Zhuang's soldiers did not arrive, and the people helped the old and the young, and went south to Chu, all because Taizu could do the way of benevolence and righteousness. ”

Han Ruzi muttered: "Taizu is good at escaping, because there is a place to escape, practicing benevolence and righteousness is not to fight for a momentary victory, but to pave the way for the future, some people can't help you fight, but they can save your life when you are in danger......"

Luo Huanzhang frowned, "Who taught His Majesty these things?" How could he be so disrespectful to Taizu? ”

"Master Luo, forgive me, I have been uneducated since I was a child, and it is rare to hear the words of sages, so sometimes I talk nonsense." Han Ruzi hurriedly controlled his mouth.

Luo Huanzhang didn't ask any more, but the King of the East China Sea stared at the emperor a few more times, obviously not believing his words.

This class was much more tiring than usual, Han Ruzi didn't have a chance to meditate at all, Luo Huanzhang was like an experienced beast tamer, and he could easily control every move of the beast.

After Luo Huanzhang retired, the king of the East China Sea said to the emperor: "The hard days have just begun, enjoy it." ”

Han Ruzi didn't feel bitter, but benefited a lot, but there were more doubts in his heart, and these doubts could only be asked to Yang Feng.

The martial arts in the afternoon were relatively bland, Meng Che said more and moved less, a little perfunctory, and the attendants didn't care, they caught up and had a good time. No one dared to make a move with the emperor, so Han Ruzi moved his legs and feet, looked at Meng E in the corner several times, and wanted to say something to her, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

Yang Feng didn't come that night, he was always busy, nominally serving the emperor, but in fact he was not present most of the time, and he didn't know where to "open the way" for the emperor.

After several nights of insomnia, Han Ruzi finally couldn't hold on, and soon fell into a deep sleep, sleeping deeply, and was woken up by a wave of shaking.

It was dark in front of him, and Han Ruzi vaguely saw someone at the head of the bed, like a palace maid serving him, "Huh? What's up? ”

"Do you want to learn real martial arts?"

Han Ruzi suddenly sobered up and sat up.

Yang Feng reminded him that the first person to take the initiative to contact the emperor must have ulterior motives, and Han Ruzi could never have imagined that this person would be Meng E.
