Time flies, time is like an arrow, Lu Bing and Zhu Houxi are indeed old. It has been three years since the two sides began to fight each other, and the two have paid countless hard work and hard work during this period. Even when the two sides are in truce, the two are not allowed to rest. Lu Bing's founding of the People's Republic of China, improving people's livelihood, developing the economy, reforming the official system, and enhancing strength, none of which need to be painstakingly worked. Isn't it even worse that Zhu Houxi, who is already in exile in the imperial court, can only work harder to restore the country, so he also bothered and worked hard.

It's only been a few years of light, and the years have left strong traces on the two of them, their once black hair has increased a lot of white threads, and Lu Bing's temples are already snow-white. Zhu Houyu is like this, Lu Bing is also like this, they looked at each other Yingying and smiled, Lu Bing helped Zhu Houyu to sit on the side couch in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Zhu Houxi asked: "Isn't it so fun to be an emperor, isn't it very tiring?" ”

"If you knew this was the case, why did you overthrow the country?" Lu Bing asked rhetorically, "Isn't it too late now?" ”

Zhu Houxi was sad when he heard this: "The winner is the king and the loser is the thief, now you can say whatever you want." ”

"This still sounds unconvincing, hehe, there are no rules at all, what should I call when you see me?" Lu Bing looked at Zhu Houxi, Zhu Houxi looked at Lu Bing and shook his head and said, "Why do you want to humiliate me, they are all old friends for many years, and you don't have to fall into the well like this." If you want to kill or chop with just your words, let me call you a saint, is this powerful? If you feel energetic, I'll call it. ”

"I asked you to call me Brother Bing, brother." Lu Bing said slightly.

Anyway. Zhu Houxi's tears could no longer be stopped, and Lu Bing also shed tears on the spot.

The two people smiled self-deprecatingly and wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes. High-fives and shook each other's hands. Zhu Houxi asked: "I lost, although I have always wanted to win you, but in all fairness I have never been able to win you, even if there is a slight advantage, it is that you are unwilling to deal with me, otherwise I will definitely lose." In fact, you don't have to fight with me at all, as long as you don't help me sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, I will already be destroyed. When the time comes, you can take the opportunity to stand on your own, but Lu Bing, who is the leader of righteousness, did not do so. I have been jealous of you and resentful of you all these years. But at the same time, I am grateful to you and respect you, I am a contradictory person, which makes me very tangled and entangled. ”

"I know." Lu Bing said lightly.

"I lost badly this time. Hahahaha. But I can also leave a name in history, and I have a strong stroke, because I am the king of the dead country. I look through history, the founding king, the lord of Zhongxing, and the king of the fallen country, these are all important to record, and have the effect of warning future generations. I hope that the historian of your order can record it truthfully. Touch up as much as you can, and don't make me look like a wreck. Just be wronged as a useless and unscrupulous king. Zhu Houxi smiled, laughing and coughing again.

Lu Bing shook his head and sighed, and Zhu Houxi asked, "Brother Bing, what do you want to do with me?" If you want me to say that it is better to let Han Sufa kill me directly, and escort me back to Beijing, wouldn't it be a dilemma? As an emperor, how can he not even be ruthless? ”

"What about you? You could have killed me in this palace back then, why didn't you do it? Lu Bing asked rhetorically.

Zhu Houxi was stunned for a moment, and said with a gloomy expression: "I can't bear it, and it will end up being a big mistake." ”

"I can't bear it, but I hope it's okay." Lu Bing said.

Zhu Houxi looked at Lu Bing and asked in surprise, "According to your intentions, you are not going to kill me?" ”

"Of course, if I kill you, will I see you again, isn't this the same as asking for trouble for myself?" Lu Bing said: "Not only do I not want to kill you, but I also don't want you to become the king of the country. ”

"I really didn't get it this time?" Zhu Houxi said that he had gone through vicissitudes of life, and he was not as naïve and simple as an ignorant young man back then, so he naturally wouldn't think that Lu Bing would give in to him. Moreover, Lu Bing, the king, is an unprecedented kind of king, although it is not groundbreaking, it can also be called an unprecedented one. Lu Bing has paid too much for this world, even if he gives it to Zhu Houxi, he will not accept it, the ups and downs, the visible and invisible struggles, the undercurrent of swords and guns, this qiē has made Zhu Houxi feel bored, tired, disgusted and disgusted. He even sometimes thinks about how fast it would have been if Zhu Houzhao had an heir back then, and he was still a vassal king of idle clouds and wild cranes.

Lu Bing said: "Don't be busy talking about this first, as a brother, I want you to understand your loss, do you know where you lost?" ”

"I'm not as good as you, I'm not as good as you in terms of strategy, morality, and martial arts, and I can't even compare to you in terms of giving birth to a son. Now you have so many sons, but I have no children under my knees, isn't this a high and low opinion? The most terrible thing is that you are such a person, and you are still an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and you are among the best in both civil and military affairs. I remember that many years ago you said that you came from the future, that is, from the future, I only thought that you had gone crazy in your practice, and I didn't think much about it, I didn't believe it, and I also sarcastically said that if anyone believed in you, he would be crazy. Now I believe it all. If you hadn't come from the future, you wouldn't have come up with so many great ideas. The hot air balloon floating in the sky, the boat going against the water, haha, your official system is unheard of, and even the firecracker that I was forced to use later is what you should get in and out of. Originally called chicken ribs, a weapon that tasteless and discarded, it has now become the main weapon on the battlefield. You have not only created a new country and a new country, but also created an era, a new era, and all of them are developing rapidly, which makes me, a defeated general, breathtaking. Zhu Houxi said, there is no deliberate praise in what he said at this time, and his words are all sincere and sincere, and he sincerely admires them.

Lu Bing shook his head and said, "No, even if you don't have these things, you will still be defeated." ”

"Why?" Zhu Houxi became excited, and he was about to stand up as he spoke. I have been summarizing the reasons for my failure along the way, as a man is not terrible to lose, and it is not terrible to die, but it is necessary to defeat clearly and die clearly. Zhu Houxi thought that he was defeated by this, and Lu Bing was a god, so he was far better than himself, so he was defeated. It is precisely because of this that he was unwilling to show weakness in front of Lu Bing at the beginning, how could he even lose to Lu Bing in terms of integrity?! Even if he knew that showing weakness might save his life. But Zhu Houxi wanted to keep the dignity of a man and an emperor, so he would rather give up his life for this. But now. Even the summary of his failure was overturned by Lu Bing, didn't he even do this right thing? Is he so useless? Suddenly, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but get excited.

Lu Bing patted Zhu Houxi's shoulder, pressed him down and said, "Don't be excited, listen to me slowly." ”

Zhu Houxi sat down, sighed and said, "I'm listening." ”

"You're losing here." Lu Bing said and pointed to Zhu Houxi's chest, Zhu Houxi hesitated for a moment, and then said suspiciously: "You mean people's hearts?" ”

"Yes. It is the human heart. Lu Bing said: "It is true that I have made a difference with my knowledge from the future, but if I am an ordinary person. What if you have this knowledge? And these things are only a prototype, and they are all developed later, and they have been detached from what I know. And much of what I do now, except for the emperor or a prince. How can ordinary passers-by have so much energy to do these things that ordinary people dare not think of. You were once an emperor. All the strength in my hands is far superior to mine, but you have not done anything. The tide of life is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, I have entered and you have not progressed, how can this be undefeated? It's not a matter of God bless you, it's not a matter of talent, it's a matter of your own heart, and your heart is not strong enough. Every time something happens, it's chaotic. Seeing the wealth, seeing the profit and forgetting the righteousness. Small belly chicken intestines, jealousy and jealousy. These words are not good, but if you think about it, is what I said true? So your heart is not strong enough to withstand pressure, and when you encounter problems, you can either push it on others or just run away. In this way, if you don't experience setbacks and learn how to deal with problems, how can you grow, even if there are many hardships? If you don't have a mind like the sea, how can you contain the people of the world, and if you can't contain it, it's like a container full of water, and the people will overflow, how can they be undefeated? ”

Zhu Houxi listened to Lu Bing's words and fell into deep thought, Lu Bing continued: "A lion leads a group of sheep, that is a group of fierce lions. A sheep leading a herd of lions is nothing more than a pack of lions with sharp teeth and fangs. This is what we often say about a soldier and a nest of bears. The same is true for the emperor, if the emperor's heart is twisted, then where can his courtiers go? The upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked. That's right, those who achieve great things must cut off their seven emotions and six desires, but I don't want to do that. Although people lose themselves in high power, glory and wealth can make people lose themselves, I still believe that loyalty, righteousness and benevolence are hidden in people's hearts. People have inherent affection, and they don't hit smiling people when they raise their fists, not to mention that everyone must have an innocent side in their hearts. How to repay virtue with virtue? Grievances and grievances are clear, happy and hateful, although under such leadership, although scheming, although insidious, but also always hide a innocence and a benevolent heart in the heart. Everyone has selfish intentions, and people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, but if the Ming Dynasty is my new country, it will never be defeated so quickly, and it will definitely fight to the death against the enemy, and never let down the benevolence and righteousness in the heart. Loyalty, filial piety, honesty, righteousness, propriety and faith are not propagated by any ideology, nor by how to educate, it depends on how you do it. ”

"The heart of the king and the heart of the minister are all the hearts of the people, and the same is true of the people." Lu Bing finally said: "I have given the people an unprecedented life, let them live with dignity, and let them know that this country is not my home world, but their country and their world." Needless to say, loyalty and patriotism are not spoken, under the selfishness of people, how can they not serve the country. To serve the country is to serve oneself, and this is to take advantage of people's hearts. Although the wise people will create a lot of trouble, they can also promote the development of the country, but what about the foolish people? It seems to be obedient to the people, but it is also easy to be agitated and confused, that is scary, you want to fight a group of brainless people, it is scary to think about. Haha, it's funny to think about. Zhu Houxi, the human heart is a very wonderful thing, the more strict and the more they are controlled, the more they want to resist, rebellion is in everyone's bones, those who obey the people's will win the world, and those who lose the people's hearts lose the world. As a king, like the helm of a great ship, you must learn to follow the trend and use the power of this current flexibly for my use. ”

Zhu Houxi sighed and said: "I understand, I really understand, if God gives me another chance, I will not lose to you." ”

"Don't say such childish words, it's good to be motivated, but regret is the monopoly of the loser, it doesn't belong to you, you are my Lu Bing's brother, you are not allowed to regret it, you don't admit your mistakes when you know your mistakes. Besides, if you give you another chance, you're afraid that not only will you have to work hard, but you won't even give me a chance to make a fortune. Lu Bing said.

Zhu Houxi laughed when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "That's true, but you haven't said what to do with me?" Are you going to imprison me for the rest of your life? ”

"I let the Ming Dynasty still exist, as a brother, I will not kill you, nor will I let you bear the reputation of a dead king." Lu Bingdao: "The specific method is to let you take your wife and family to return to Anluzhou, where your father was entitled, and still live in our former Xingwang Mansion." Of course, don't look forward to any management of military and political power, it is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the Xingwang Mansion, and outside the Xingwang Mansion, it is still the territory of my new country. After you die, whether I live or not, I will destroy this Ming Dynasty, but I will not harm your descendants, so that you can not only avoid the destruction of the country, but also live. ”

Zhu Houxi looked at Lu Bing in astonishment, this result was something he never expected, it was really like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, unbelievable. (To be continued......)
