Chapter 531: The Most Longed-for Life
Mei Niang's lips opened slightly, but she didn't say anything, her eyebrows frowned, Chu Huan looked at her expression, and sighed lightly: "I'm afraid you can't guarantee that the officials you kill are all evil officials, and the merchants you loot are all evil businessmen, right?" ”
Mei Niang bit her lip lightly, and finally said: "They are all lackeys of the faint king, so naturally they ......!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Huan had already interrupted: "Don't forget, it's not only the people who farm in the world, but the people. Merchants and squires, those are also common people. The people are not only poor, but also the rich. After a pause, he said slowly: "As far as I know, there are actually many merchant squires who will still help the people in the year of natural disasters, although not all merchant squires will be like this, but there is no shortage of them. The fact that merchant squires have silver does not mean that they are wicked, and the silver itself has never been the standard for judging good and evil. Those wealthy merchants and squires, they are also ordinary people, their wealth has also been obtained through wisdom and sweat for many generations, among them, not all of them oppress the good, why should they be plundered by you? What is the difference between you and robbers? ”
Mei Niang glared at Chu Huan angrily, but she didn't know how to argue for a while.
Chu Huan wanted Mei Niang to leave the Qingtian King, so he continued: "Let's take a step back, even if the officials killed are all evil officials, even if the merchants and squires in Hebei Province are all bad people, but the Qingtian King has gathered 100,000 troops to confront the court, do you think that even if you rob all the merchants and squires of Hebei Province, you can really support your rebellion?" The army is in chaos, there is no production, the people are displaced, everyone has to eat, and the Qingtian King is under the banner of saving the Li people, so will the food you loot still be used to help the people who have suffered from the war in Hebei Province? ”
Mei Niang immediately nodded and said, "That's nature." ”
"The millions of people in Hebei Province are sustained by the money and grain you plundered the merchant squires?" Chu Huan smiled disdainfully: "When the looted food is exhausted, what will you eat next?" Isn't it time to eat people? ”
"You...... You are talking nonsense! Mei Niang's pretty face showed anger.
Chu Huan sighed: "You say I'm talking nonsense, just treat me as nonsense." His expression became solemn, "But the fact is that when your team has no food, the merchants and squires of Hebei Province are killed and robbed by you, and in order to survive, the next person to suffer is only the common people." The corners of his mouth showed a mocking color: "Many people have risen up and claimed to be righteous soldiers who do the right thing for heaven, but what they do is really far from the word 'righteousness'. Officials oppress the people, although the people complain, but they do not immediately take the lives of the people, but those so-called rebels, in order to replenish food and supplies, are directly killing the people, often passing through the villages, chickens and dogs are not left, nothing more than a group of rabble robbers and bandits. Compared with those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, those righteous soldiers who are under the banner of acting for the heavens have done more harm to the people. ”
Mei Niang immediately retorted: "Our team will never be like this. ”
"I'm sure you won't be like that now." Chu Huan said calmly: "But what about later? You have to fight against the officers and soldiers, and now the sphere of influence is only compressed in Hebei. If you continue to fight against the officers and soldiers in the future, in the face of the pressing of the officers and soldiers, you will naturally need a large number of supplies. Did it fall from the sky, or did it dig out of the ground? ”
Mei Niang listened to his words full of sarcasm, and immediately clenched her teeth and looked annoyed.
"In the end, there is no way but to snatch it from the people. If you Red Snake Marquis don't rob, it doesn't mean that the Qingtian King won't rob, and the Qingtian King won't rob, and it doesn't mean that his subordinates won't rob. The corners of Chu Huan's mouth sneered slightly: "The Qingtian King can lift a large number of rabble, it is undeniable that these people are naturally also due to oppression...... But they are all human beings, and they all have their own thoughts, and they can obey the orders of the Qingtian King, of course, because of the prestige of the Qingtian King, and another reason, I am afraid that it is also because they can eat with this Qingtian King. If they follow the Qingtian King, eat the last meal but don't have the next meal, or simply have a full stomach, will they still obey the Qingtianwang's orders? Do you still think that they will not go back and plunder the people to fill their stomachs? ”
Mei Niang couldn't help but reprimand: "You have sharp teeth and sharp mouths, King Qingtian is a big hero, he will never rob the people, and there must be a way to feed everyone." ”
Chu Huan knew that Mei Niang's heart had been loosened, otherwise she would not be angry, since she was angry, it also showed that her words must have touched her.
However, she can also hear from Mei Niang's tone, Mei Niang admires the Qingtian King very much, and even has a blind admiration, which is no wonder Mei Niang, although she is smart, but she follows the Qingtian King, and thinks that the Qingtian King also has a strong personal charm, if there is no attractive unique leadership charm, there will not be so many strange people and strange people who defect to the Qingtian King's subordinates and obey the orders of the Qingtian King.
Chu Huan smiled faintly and continued: "I'll take a step back, even if you have enough money, food, soldiers and horses to fight against the imperial court, if you really want to change the dynasty, how many people will die here, and how many people will die because of the war?" ”
Mei Niang said firmly: "If you have gains, you must lose, if you want to exchange for a peaceful and prosperous world, you will naturally have to shed blood and sacrifice." If you let the faint monarch and traitorous ministers take charge, the world will never be peaceful, and the people will always live in dire straits. Staring at Chu Huan's eyes, he sneered: "Only those who are willing to fall will let the faint monarch be bullied by the traitorous ministers, and they will become the lackeys of the faint monarch!" ”
She was arguing with Chu Huan at this time, and was repeatedly squeezed by Chu Huan's words, her heart was really annoyed, seeing Chu Huan's indifferent appearance, her heart was even more angry, and her voice began to become cold.
Chu Huan sighed, seeing Mei Niang's cold tone, he smiled bitterly, his voice softened slightly, and asked: "Mei Niang, let me ask you again, if you really succeed, kill the emperor, destroy the officials of the Qin State, and change the dynasty, are you ready to let the people live a peaceful life?" ”
Mei Niang was stunned and couldn't answer for a while.
Chu Huan smiled: "Have you never thought about this question? If that's the case, even if you really win, will you be at a loss in the face of a country full of holes? ”
Mei Niang thought about it, and then said stubbornly: "Naturally, we want to let the people live a good life, not to collect taxes from them, let them do their best, do whatever they want, eat and dress warmly, this is what we want." ”
"No taxes?" Chu Huan smiled and said, "Mei Niang, you are really kind, hahaha......!" Laughing, Mei Niang listened to him laughing, vaguely felt that there was something wrong with her words, a little embarrassed, glared at Chu Huan fiercely, pouted, "What are you laughing at, are you ...... Am I wrong? ”
"Have you ever heard that it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to rule the world." Chu Huan strained his waist, sat up, turned his body, and had already turned to sit side by side with Mei Niang, Mei Niang saw him approaching, and said angrily: "Don't you get close to me." But he didn't move away.
"If everyone has no quarrel with the world, the world is really peaceful, but this is just your wishful thinking, the human heart is the most complex in the world, and there are natural people who want to live a peaceful life, but there is no shortage of people who make waves, people are more than a hundred, they are different, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds." Chu Huan said slowly: "People's hearts are selfish, if there is no system and rules to restrain them, let them go, the world will be even more chaotic." If you don't collect taxes, you're kind, but let me ask you, if there is a natural disaster in the country and the people suffer, and there is no tax, what can be used for disaster relief? How to build bridges and pave roads, open mountains and build embankments, and there are no taxes? How to write books, spread knowledge, and make classics, without silver? If another country invades and there is no money, where will you come from to defend your home and country? A rich country and a strong army, not even silver, can not afford to raise an army, can not build a strong army to protect the country, and wait for foreign enemies to invade, do you have to rely on the people to go into battle with scissors and shovels? ”
Mei Niang was cautious and cunning and smart, but Chu Huan's questions came to her head-on, but Mei Niang didn't know how to answer for a while, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words: "Qingtian King will have a way!" ”
"He's a man, not a god!" Chu Huan said lightly: "Rely on him to fight the world and rule the world alone?" How do you know that when he really becomes the emperor, he will not forget his original intention because of luxury and wealth, and he will become a faint king? Even if he can be wise, he will always need a large number of ministers and generals to govern the world, do you dare to guarantee that his ministers will be stronger than the officials of Qin? You must dare to guarantee that under the rule of your Blue Heavenly King, the people will be rich and happy, and the world will have plenty of food and clothing? ”
Mei Niang's eyebrows were frowned, her eyes showed a look of annoyance, her lips opened slightly, and she didn't say anything, but she felt a little confused for a while, and asked for a long time: "Then what do you say?" ”
Chu Huan lay down again, closed his eyes, and said indifferently: "If I knew what to do, I wouldn't be sitting here." But I know that you must be right to leave the Qingtian King, Mei Niang...... Abandon the darkness and turn to the light! ”
Mei Niang actually lay down, leaned sideways, leaned close to Chu Huan's ear, and said softly: "You really want me to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!" ”
"Naturally!"
Mei Niang smiled charmingly and said softly: "I don't think that the Qingtian King is dark, and I don't think the faint king is bright." If you want me to leave the Blue Sky King, there is only one possibility! ”
"What?"
"Let's go!" Mei Niang looked at Chu Huan and said softly: "You take me away, let's go away and fly high, don't ask about the world from now on, let's find a place to live in the grassland, you don't go to be the lackey of the faint king, I don't go to the king of Qingtian, I accompany you, we herd horses and sheep together, you are my man, I am your woman, I will give you many children, don't ask about the world, live quietly, do you say okay?" ”
Chu Huan was stunned, turned his head to look at Mei Niang, the two of them were pointing away, Mei Niang's bewitching face was close in front of him, extremely charming, those eyes were actually with a look of expectation, her words didn't seem to be a joke.
Don't ask about the world, take the beautiful woman like a flower, find a quiet place to live quietly, herd horses and sheep, give birth to a bunch of children, and grow old together, Chu Huan's heart was pounding at this moment, and he found out what a beautiful thing it was.
Mei Niang saw that Chu Huan's expression became soft, and there was even a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, she couldn't help but lean over, put her fragrant lips on Chu Huan's lips, just lightly, and left, and said in a gentle voice that she had never had before: "In the desert, we have already died once, you and I are both people who live again, are you willing to take me away and live a new life?" Her voice carried a sense of longing: "That's the life I yearn for the most now...... ”
