Li Cunmiao sneered: "Since you still call me Your Majesty, you still have a monarch and a minister in your heart. Knowing the monarch and the minister, why did he commit rebellion? ”

The young general stood up and looked at Li Cunmiao without avoiding it, "The king has the way of the king, and the minister has the way of the minister." If the king abandons his way, he will not obey the way. ”

"Presumptuous!" Li Cunmiao was furious, closed his eyes and calmed down, opened his eyes and looked indignantly, "As a minister, how dare you speak up!" ”

"The way of the king is also the way. Where the Tao exists, reason also exists. "The young general is unmoved," is reasonable, and everyone can speak of it. ”

Li Cunmiao paused, forced to look at the person in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing, if the king makes a slight mistake, the minister will be in turmoil, is it the right way?" ”

"The minister's trip is not for the sake of chaos." The young general said.

"It's not chaos, what is it?" Li Cunqiao snorted coldly.

"When the king is at fault, his subjects change it for him." The young general's voice was steady, and his body was equally steady, "What the ministers have done this time is to correct your mistakes for you." ”

Li Cunmiao sneered, "Correcting a mistake? In the form of rebellion and usurpation? ”

The young general looked at Li Cunqiao and asked seriously, "Does my king know his mistake?" ”

"You" Li Cunmiao was furious, and shouted at the people in front of him: "Li Congjing, you are bold!" Do you know who you're talking to! ”

The person who came was Li Congjing, Li Cunqiao was sitting on horseback, he stood in front of Li Cunqing, although his figure was not as tall as Li Cunqing, his momentum was not weak at all. There is a great righteousness in the world, if he is nourished by this qi, he does not have to be ashamed of himself in front of everything, even if he is facing the emperor of a country.

Li Congjing's eyes when he looked at Li Cunmiao were neither humble nor arrogant, nor arrogant, but the words he said were loud, and he said: "If my king knows his mistakes, he should not be afraid to correct them; If my king does not know what is wrong, then his subjects should change it for my king, but then how can the king be king? How many kingdoms and how many generations have there been since there were kings in the world? There will be so many dynasties in the world, isn't it because the king lost his way and the subjects rose up in a crowd that there was a change of dynasty? Changing the dynasty is not a rebellion and usurpation, but a reshaping of morality for the world and the people! ”

Li Cunqiao sneered, and said coldly: "However, since the past dynasties, there has been no shortage of rebellious ministers and thieves! These people are ambitious and committed, but in the end, they can't escape the fate of being punished! ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Congjing spoke out angrily, and his tone became high-pitched, "Don't you know that over the years, you have indulged in pleasures, abandoned the government, vainly used traitors, and destroyed the government, and what kind of harm you have brought to the world and the people?!" ”

At this time, Li Congjing no longer stood with his hands tied, but pressed the knife proudly, looked at Li Cunxuan, and made an impassioned statement: "For the government to be benevolent, lightly and lightly endowed, to win the hearts of all the people, the world respects it, so the country can be stable; For the government to be clear, rectify the rule of officials, and isolate the small, so that the important ministers dare not be corrupt, and the small officials dare not harm the people, so the temple can last forever; For the government to be virtuous, spread kindness, rectify all industries, so that the people have support, reward the good and punish the evil, the elite army and strengthen the army, so that the soldiers have no worries, so the community can be passed on for a hundred years; For the government to fraternity, all over the education, so that the people have morality in their hearts, can distinguish right from wrong, so the country can be long-term peace and stability, so that civilization can be spread in all directions, can call the four Yi to worship, so China can last forever! ”

"If because of one's own selfishness, indulge in pleasures, disregard for the safety of the community, have no livelihood and the suffering of the people, the treasury is not full, the people have no surplus wealth, the army does not repair the armor, the generals do not go through the expedition, and the soldiers dare not fight to the death, so that the government collapses and foreign invaders, can such a king be called a king?"

These words were like thunder, and Li Cunmiao was short of breath and his face was pale, and he shouted: "Shut up! Li Congjing, do you think I am such a king?! ”

Li Congjing looked at Li Cunqing, not weak at all because of the anger of the other party's son of heaven, he behaved dignifiedly, and there was no sense of crampedness, in the face of the other party's cross-examination, Li Congjing abandoned the method of debate, and put out those facts that made him sad: "In July of the second year of Tongguang, it rained enough in Beijing, and it was heavy rain, as for September, the day and night were cloudy, and there was no clear mist, the rivers overflowed, the embankments were broken, the whole world complained of floods, and hundreds of people were displaced. Dare to ask Your Majesty, what are you doing at this time? ”

"In March of the third year of Tongguang, Zhang Xianjuan, the deputy of Tokyo, fled 1,200 people from Zhuyingjiakou, and the military funds were embezzled and people could not eat. Dare to ask Your Majesty, what are you doing at this time?

In the same month, the eunuch Wang Yunping and the servant Jingjin were the people of the emperor's Guangcai Palace, and they did not choose a good family committee, killed more than 1,000 people, did not give the car, carried an ox cart, and tired of the road. Dare to ask Your Majesty, what are you doing at this time? ”

"In August of the third year of Tongguang, Qingzhou floods, locusts, countless fertile fields were not harvested, and on the winter solstice of that year, thousands of people became starving. Dare to ask Your Majesty, what are you doing at this time? ”

In August of the same year, Henan County ordered Luo Guan to be slandered for adultery, and the Henan Mansion was beaten with a cane and executed, and everyone was wronged. Dare to ask Your Majesty, what are you doing at this time? ”

"Same Light"

"Enough!" Li Cunmiao interrupted Li Congjing, his chest rising and falling, obviously extremely uncalm.

Li Congjing smiled miserably, as if he was unfair, unfair, and unfair, he looked at the emperor of a country in front of him, "Last year, the army of Shu was leveled in March, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty reached its peak, and everyone in the world thought that my Datang could clear the universe, but unfortunately, this is just a fantasy that looks beautiful." It is true that Guo Gong is proud of his talents, but the important weapon of the dignified country was unjustly killed at the hands of eunuchs, and even such a minister of the society, His Majesty can do it! ”

"I didn't order Guo Chongtao to be killed, they made their own decisions!" Li Cunqiao argued sharply.

Li Congjing chuckled, "What about afterwards?" Are there still fewer people who have been condemned for this matter? Even the King of Harmony"

"Li Congjing! These things are also something you can discuss?! Li Cunmiao said angrily.

"If the minister doesn't talk about it, the matter doesn't exist?" Li Congjing shook his head, "Your Majesty, has you ever thought about why the Tang Dynasty, which originally seemed to be a great place, would there be smoke and chaos all over the place?" ”

Li Cunmiao thought of the chaos in various places, and remembered that Li Siyuan had joined all sides soon after he raised his army, and then contacted the soldiers who had been separated in the past few days, and the hatred in his heart was monstrous, "That's because there are too many rebellious ministers and thieves, and people's hearts are not ancient!" As a subject, there is no patriotic thought of loyalty to the king, and the chaos in the world is all because of the chaos in the hearts of Er and others! ”

"Does the chaos in the world begin with the chaos of people's hearts?" Li Congjing was not surprised by this, his eyes were blazing at Li Cunqing, "Then dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the beginning of the people's disarray?" ”

Li Cunqiao was stunned.

"As far as the king is concerned, the Lord is about the covenant, the king is near, and the Lord is against himself. As far as the subjects are concerned, they cannot be happy with what they are not happy with, and they cannot be satisfied with what they are not happy with. Li Congjing generously stated, "Teachers, effectiveness, the upper for it, the lower for it." If the king is studious, the whole country will repair the book, the king will be benevolent, then the people will love each other, the king will reward the good and punish the evil, then the world will gather the virtuous and the small will have no place to stand, if the king supports morality, then the world has its own heroic righteousness, and the evil is avoided. On the contrary, if the king loves money, the ministers are greedy for ink, the king is indulged in lust, and the whole country is in a beautiful voice, and the king is virtuous and far-reaching, then the world is not loyal and good, and the king is suspicious of the ministers, and the people are thieves from their neighbors! ”

"Every word and deed of the king will be shown to the world: what is right and what is wrong, what should be advocated and what should be eliminated. If the monarch does not act rightly, there are loyal and virtuous people who do not reward them, there are evil people who do not punish them, there are checkmates who do not save them, there are people who want to be chaotic and unfair, there are people who do not uphold morality, there are evils that are not severely punished, there are deceptions that are not detected, there are harmful countries that are not eradicated, there are talents who are not reused, and there are small people who are not suppressed, then how can the ministers do the king? How can those who have a heart be motivated? If this is the case, the kings and ministers will abandon their duties and flatter, and the rich and noble will abandon the right path and go camping! ”

"There is no morality in the world, the morality of the world collapses, those who harm the country and the people have to occupy a high position and live a free life, and those who benefit the country and the people are destitute and have no place to die. Once the monarchs and ministers who live in the temples are like this, what about the people who are far away from the rivers and lakes? The people do not know what is right and what is wrong, and if they lose the correct behavior and spiritual criterion in their hearts, how can they not be unbalanced in words and deeds, and the hearts of the people are in turmoil? People's hearts are in turmoil, there is no order in their hearts, people are no longer loyal to the king and the country, no longer filial piety to fathers and sons, no longer unity and friendship, but harm others and self-interest, harm the public and seek private interests, you fight for me, calculate with each other, in the long run, how can there be order in the world? How can the world not be chaotic! ”

Li Congjing took a deep breath, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to cut through the deep night, "In all dynasties, every time the world is in turmoil, it will definitely collapse and be morally corrupt, and people's hearts will not be ancient, why not?" As the head of all peoples, the king exists in the world, enjoys all the glory and great respect, not to let you come without fear of the hearts of the people, but to let you come to the hearts of the people! Otherwise, once the people's hearts are in turmoil, the world is full of smoke, and the skin will not be attached? It's a pity that the people are suffering, and the people are suffering! How many kings only know the imperial power, have no social affairs in their eyes, no people in their hearts, and abandon the whole world? How can these people be virtuous, and dare to call them lonely! ”

"The king is happy to be the king, and the dead are happy to die. If the monarch is right, the subjects will support him, and if the monarch is not right, the subjects will fight together! Your Majesty, do you still think that my wait for this move is a wolf's ambition and a rebellion to usurp the throne?! ”

Li Congjing's words came out, and Li Cunqiao was stunned and speechless. Although he was angry and intended to refute, he didn't know where to start, his mind went blank, and he froze on the spot. He never thought that the way of kings, the way of subjects, and the way of the world had such a deep meaning!

Li Congjing stared at Li Cunqiao and did not move. His words were impassioned, and he suddenly spoke out, like thunder, and actually gave people the feeling of the Bodhisattva's low eyebrows and King Kong's angry eyes.

All the people are suffering, so the Bodhisattva lowers his eyebrows, and sins are rampant, so King Kong is angry!

Li Cunqing's face was distorted, his eyes were extremely struggling, and he didn't dare to look at Li Congjing's dignified eyes. For a while, as if sitting on horseback, it was not Li Cunqing, the emperor of a country, who was condescending, but Li Congjing, who was a courtier for the time being.

Relatively silent, the scene fell silent, and a heavy and angry atmosphere permeated the air. As far as Li Cunqing is concerned, he is angry at Li Congjing's crime, and for Li Congjing, he is angry at Li Cunqing's failure to live up to the world.

As the night deepened, the two teams could not confront each other for a long time, and in the end, Li Congjing had no intention of doing anything to Li Cunjing on the spot, and Li Cunqing also knew that he couldn't do anything to Li Congjing.

After all, the monarch and the minister, on the occasion of parting, Li Cunqiao left a word for Li Congjing.

Li Congjing also sent Li Cunqiao a question.
