At that time, in order to persuade Xue Wanche to take the initiative to lay down his arms and join Li Shimin, and kill Li Yuanji to protect Li Jiancheng's sons, he used this poem as a tool to assist in persuasion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info and Shi Bufan's memory is not bad, the circulation of this poem should be very limited, at least within the scope of Shi Bufan's knowledge, in fact, it is not large.

The people who know this poem are nothing more than a few people, the first one is Xue Wanche, and the other few people are Kong Yingda and Li Shimin, who are the highest-level power centers. Therefore, the circulation scope of this poem is very narrow, and Shi Bufan has deliberately promoted this poem, and he has no habit of showing off his literary talents. There is no need for him to show off his literary talents to gain fame.

In other words, the people who know this word come and go. Shi Bufan speculated in his mind about the relationship network between these people, among which Li Shimin's relationship network diverged the most, which could be a concubine or a minister of the court. However, there is a very important place here, that is, do those court ministers dare to meet with Li Wanrou? After all, Li Wanrou is a "common man" and is Li Jiancheng's daughter, and now everyone knows that the word "Li Jiancheng" is taboo, and no one is willing to say more. Which fool would take the initiative to contact Li Wanrou and take the initiative to tell her this poem.

But Li Wanrou knew this poem, and where did Li Wanrou know this poem. That shows that someone is definitely close to her, and even this person is someone who has a good relationship with Li Wanrou.

"Sure enough, there is a problem, there is a problem! I was so anxious last time, I actually forgot to answer where did Li Wanrou find someone to write that letter? Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan finally thought of the last time Li Wanrou actually wanted to write a letter to the Turks, telling the Turks that there was a passage under the ground that could lead to the prince's East Palace. was intercepted by Shi Bufan in this way, but who helped Li Wanrou get the dictionaries of those Turkic characters? Li Wanrou shouldn't have this dictionary by her side, who is helping Li Wanrou get it?

Of course, that person may not know that this Li Wanrou wants this dictionary to sell Datang, but this shows that Li Wanrou definitely has a connection with the outside. Who is the person who is in contact with Li Wanrou, this is the point. Li Wanrou didn't say anything related to Shi Bufan, and even Li Wanrou didn't talk to Shi Bufan about this, and he had contact with the outside. This means that Li Wanrou also has a thread behind her, who is this, it's hard to say.

What does this person want to do, does he want to rescue Li Jiancheng, or is it just just for the sake of Li Jiancheng's old master's affection for Zhou Gong's daughter.

"I hope it's the latter kind, if you want to help Li Jiancheng restore, then this can cause a lot of turmoil out of thin air. I hope it's just for the sake of taking care of Li Wanrou in the love of the master, otherwise the consequences will be really troublesome. Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan already roughly knows who this person who has a secret connection with Li Wanrou is, and one of them must be very familiar with Li Wanrou and knows this word. However, if these two conditions are met at the same time, there is only one person, and that is Xue Wanche. In addition to Xue Wanche, who else is familiar with Li Wanrou and knows this poem at the same time? Xue Wanche is Li Jiancheng's old subordinate, and it is not strange to know Li Wanrou, the county lord, but it is very normal. As for him, as a party, it is not surprising to know this poem, there is no one else but him. Even Li Jiancheng has a lot of kindness to Xue Wanche, and it is not impossible for Xue Wanche to take care of Li Wanrou.

Shi Langzhong, this long and short sentence is really worried about the country and the people. But I don't understand, of course the people who died in the country are suffering. But why are the people still suffering? Zheng Liwan asked.

Zheng Liwan's words immediately pulled Shi Bufan back from his thinking, and Shi Bufan quickly explained: "It's actually very simple, it's normal for the people to suffer from the country." However, when the country is prosperous, the imperial court will inevitably build a large number of buildings, and the king will inevitably expand the territory, and even when the country is prosperous, all kinds of problems will be covered up, and there will be no enough catharsis, and the people will actually be very bitter. ”

"Oh? Where a country is prosperous, there will inevitably be a wise monarch and a benevolent monarch. And if you encounter a tyrant, you will most likely lose your country. As long as there are more wise and benevolent monarchs in the world, then maybe the people can be better, so that the people will not be miserable and the people will suffer. Zheng Liwan replied.

Shi Bufan couldn't help but say, "Mingjun Renjun? I don't think it's the main thing, pinning one's fate on others, and that's the source of suffering. pinning one's fate on Mingjun and Renjun, then this is actually essentially a mermaid, the difference is only whether there is more fish and whether there is less. ”

Zheng Liwan then retorted: "Aren't many kings also very frugal? During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty were even so frugal that they couldn't even find horses of the same color pulling carts, and even Emperor Wen of the former Sui Dynasty was actually very thrifty, even reluctant to be extravagant. It was only when they arrived at the latter two that they became more and more extravagant. This king who can be thrifty and restrain his desires, but he is really a benevolent monarch and a wise monarch, how can it be said that he is exploiting? ”

Shi Bufan laughed again: "Miss Zheng, do you really think that this king is thrifty for the sake of the people?" And do you think that those tyrants who brutalized the people and the loyal and good, do they really want to be a tyrant? ”

"Mingjun, Benevolent Jun, Virtuous Jun, Tyrant, Dusk Jun or something, do you really think there is a difference?"

Zheng Liwan replied as a matter of course: "When I met Mingjun, Renjun, and Xianjun, the country will prosper." But when it met a tyrant and a faint king, the country declined, or even perished. Ming Jun loves the people, is the real excellent king, is the blessing of the people. They stayed awake at night for the sake of the people's welfare, and for the sake of the people's peace and contentment. In fact, the former Emperor Wen of Sui was such a Ming monarch, a benevolent monarch, and a virtuous monarch, and they were the kind of kings who really loved the people. ”

"No, I think the so-called Ming Jun, Benevolent Jun, Virtuous Jun, and Tyrant are actually essentially no different, not the slightest difference?" Shi Bufan said.

"How is this possible? Aren't Emperor Wen of the former Sui Dynasty and Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty the greatest embodiment of the relationship between the Ming monarch, the virtuous monarch, the benevolent monarch and the tyrant? The former Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was virtuous and benevolent, and the country prospered. But the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty abused the people's power and brutally suppressed it, which finally caused the whole world to rebel, isn't this the best example of a tyrant? How can it be said that there is no difference between them? ”

Shi Bufan still emphasized: "I don't think there is any difference between Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui. And there is actually no difference between the Ming Jun Shang Tang who was praised back then and the Shang King who has been scolded. ”

"This ...... How to say? Please clarify your doubts, I will listen to you. Zheng Liwan is really curious, this statement is really unusual.

"Well, let me ask you, what is the ultimate purpose of those benevolent and virtuous gentlemen who love the people? Don't tell me that you love the people for the sake of loving the people! Shi Bufan asked.

Zheng Liwan replied: "Ming Jun is virtuous and benevolent, they cherish the people, do their best for the needs of the people, and work hard for the well-being of the people, in order to maintain the stability of the country and the peace of the country. Because they understand that the people are happy and healthy, the world is naturally stable, and the country is stable, which can be regarded as maintaining the country. ”

Shi Bufan asked again: "That tyrant is for tyrants, people can't always be nameless angry, right?" There's always an excuse to kill, right? It is impossible to kill people for no reason, there must always be a reason. Why did the tyrants of the past dynasties kill people? ”

Zheng Liwan counted it carefully and said, "Tyrants kill people by nothing more than a few kinds. First, the subordinates have a heart of disobedience. Second, the courtiers have broken the law, and it is a serious violation of the law, such as embezzlement, theft, and so on. Third, that is, when the courtiers made a mistake in doing things, of course, whether this mistake is serious or whether it is necessary to kill people depends on how the king defines it. Some kings kill people when they make small mistakes, and some people make big mistakes and forgive, so it is difficult to distinguish. Fourth, that is, some people have offended the king because of their words and deeds, and then they are killed by the king. If you calculate carefully, tyrant killings are nothing more than these. ”

"Very well, then I'll talk about it. First, if the courtier has a heart of disobedience, then it is normal for this to be killed, so I won't say more. Second, if a courtier has broken the law, the one who is killed is to uphold the law. But I think it's okay to be killed if I break the law. However, we need to find out where this legislative power is, that is, with the king. As for the laws on corruption and so on, they were also formulated to maintain the stability of the country. If there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, then the country is unstable, it can be said that killing those courtiers who break the law is to maintain the stability of the country, which is the same as the reason of Mingjun. ”

"Thirdly, the king is to be killed except for mistakes in the affairs of his courtiers. As for whether this socket is big or small, I won't mention it for now. However, I know that this mistake will also affect the stability of the country, but the degree of impact is different. What is a mistake, that is, it is not conducive to the court, not conducive to the country, not conducive to the king, once this mistake appears, it must be unfavorable to the king, and if it is killed, the king will be punished. The king told others not to make mistakes or they would be killed, so he set an example for everyone to be careful. Isn't this for me to protect the country? ”

"As for the fourth, it offended the king. As for words and deeds that offend the king, the king is the man. That is naturally to preserve the authority of the king, to preserve his sacrosanct nobility. If anyone dares to offend the king, then he will inevitably be killed, and He Yan can avoid his authority that is willing to offend more people. ”

Zheng Liwan hurriedly retorted and said: "No, no, no, there are also many kings who don't care, some people offend him, and he chooses to forgive and pardon, isn't this a benevolent monarch?" ”

"No, those who offended him, he chose to pardon, so that others would be equally grateful to Dade, and would be equally sworn to die, and would be good for her reputation, so that his authority would be maintained, and his prestige would be maintained. Therefore, whether it is murder or forgiveness, the ultimate goal is the same, to maintain the country and the throne. ”

"So, in short, we can see that whether they are benevolent and virtuous, or even tyrants, then in fact, they have only one real purpose, and in the final analysis, there is only one ultimate goal, that is, to maintain the country and the throne. Their benevolence, wisdom, virtuousness, or cruelty, are all to protect his country. Therefore, their purpose is the same, the so-called benevolence, virtuousness, wisdom, and cruelty, but it is just a means for different kings to protect their own country and throne. The different means to achieve this end are essentially the same ends. So, I explain that there is no difference in essence between a king, a benevolent king, a virtuous king, or a tyrant. However, different means are used for the same end. And some succeeded, some failed. Since they are all means, why can this king be judged at one time and there is a difference? ”

Zheng Liwan's eyes widened, she felt that Shi Bufan's words were really "deafening", and she really had the idea of listening to your words and subverting the worldview. In traditional Chinese thinking, everyone is looking forward to Mingjun, virtuous and benevolent, hoping that this kind of good emperor can bring everyone a better life, can bring a better life to the blow, so that the liberation is relaxed, and the life will not be too depressing.

As for those tyrants, they are the most obnoxious, the most hateful. Such an emperor is very hateful. Even everyone praised Mingjun for being virtuous and benevolent, but they blamed those tyrants. But now Shi Bufan's words have completely torn off the skin of the so-called Mingjun, Renjun, Xianjun and tyrants, and completely showed their core.

Once their core is really revealed, then everyone can really see that in fact, whether they are dressed as benevolent monarchs, virtuous monarchs or tyrants, those emperors are actually essentially for one purpose - to maintain the country. Some are upheld through benevolence, righteousness and wisdom, while others are upheld through brutal and bloody killings. In essence, they are actually for the sake of maintaining the country, not for the good of the people.

For the good of the people, it is only a "means", not a real "end". Their purpose is nothing more than to maintain the country, their power, their prestige and the throne. In this case, if you tear off the outer layer of skin, in fact, everyone is all the way, they all go in different directions for the same purpose, and use different means, and there is really no difference at all!

Zheng Liwan looked at Shi Bufan, with a look of fear in her eyes. No one thought about this question in ancient times, and no one even dared to think about it. But Shi Bufan but hard peeling, those Mingjun, benevolent monarchs, virtuous monarchs, tyrants, etc., are skinned, so in fact, there is no difference in essence.
