0583: Persuasion

"Xiaoxiao, I want to know, do you want to give up the throne at the behest of the emperor, or do you plan to gather troops and horses and then take back the country?"

Xiao Chen didn't have any emotion in his voice, but these words could confirm Zhu Xiaoxiao's goal of moving forward, and he didn't want to ask, but he had to remind him.

"I, I...... Why did you suddenly ask this question? Zhu Xiaoxiao asked coquettishly.

In fact, in these days, Zhu Xiaoxiao herself is also very confused, she doesn't know whether to regain the throne and avenge her father and uncle for the emperor, or hide back to her ancestral land and spend this life peacefully but ordinarily.

Zhu Xiaoxiao wants to live an ordinary life in her heart, but her background is destined to be extraordinary, and in the face of the deaths and injuries of those soldiers who follow her, this girl with an innocent and kind nature is really confused.

The soldiers who followed her entrusted her life, if she just returned to her ancestral land to live in seclusion for her own selfishness, would this be too cruel to the soldiers?

In the past few days, Wang Botao, Director Jin and other officials have been transmitting to Zhu Xiaoxiao that as long as the royalist army is assembled and the arms are raised, the subjects of the Zhu Dynasty will swear to follow and overthrow the brutal King Langya.

This concept cannot withstand scrutiny, if the people of the Zhu Dynasty were really as Wang Botao said, the former emperor would not have been forced to the current point.

The leadership of this world is still in the hands of various large and small families, and without their support, it is difficult to sit on the throne, but hearing such words of encouragement all the time, Zhu Xiaoxiao's heart was moved.

"Xiao Chen, if I say that I want to be a female emperor, it is to support me and protect my soldiers...... Will you support me? In the end, Zhu Xiaoxiao asked in a whisper as if she had done something wrong.

"Of course I'm with you, no matter what decision you make." Xiao Chen replied softly, but without a beak.

"That's good, I'm afraid you'll look down on me and say I'm lustful." Zhu Xiaoxiao's mood suddenly relaxed.

"How so? Everyone has the right to choose, not to mention that you are still burdened with too many passive choices. Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"The right to choose? Passive choice? Zhu Xiaoxiao chanted lightly twice, she became more relaxed and cheerful, and said: "Xiao Chen, you still understand me, the words have gone to my heart, unlike Manager Long, who always says that you should do this, do that, just don't explain it to me......"

On the distant march, Chief Long, who was guarding Zhu Xiaoxiao's side, showed an ugly smile, thinking to himself, Prince, you are full of love and water, how can the words of a bad old man compare to the words of the prospective prince?

"Xiaoxiao, when you grow up, you are about to become Her Majesty the Empress, there are some things that you want to learn to experience, you don't need others to explain it, you have to know how to distinguish and analyze it yourself...... Take you to Feiteng City, if you want to take away the army of Feiteng City, you also have to think about the gains and losses, if the losses are greater than the gains, how should you choose? ”

"I don't want to grow up yet, and they all force me to grow up quickly...... Okay, don't say frustrating words, Xiao Chen, I heard that you have very harsh words to tell me, you can say it, just like friends point out each other's mistakes, it doesn't matter if the tone is focused. ”

"Little fool ......" Xiao Chen sighed, he spoke for a long time, sighed again, and said: "You have to fight for the world, remember my words, the people's hearts must not be lost, and if you lose the hearts of the people, you will lose the world." ”

"What is the will of the people?" Zhu Xiaoxiao felt the heaviness in Xiao Chen's words, and she asked after forcing herself to calm down.

"The heart of the people, literally understood is the heart of the common people, whether this heart supports you or rejects you, is the key to whether you can get the world." Xiao Chen said unhurriedly, since he chose to say it, let's say it thoroughly.

"Tell me more details." Zhu Xiaoxiao asked seriously.

"Alas...... Xiaoxiao, the hegemony of imperial power is not one person's, it is the gathering of countless people, after integrating the power, domineering sweep away all different voices, so as to occupy the territory and take what the territory wants, but enjoy the fruits of victory, just like those soldiers and nobles who are following you now, the reason why they support you is also to hope to get the fruits of victory. ”

"I heard the emperor's uncle say that if you want to sit on the throne, you must enlist some help, and it is because some families are no longer supporting us that we have made it like this......"

"It's all about profit." Xiao Chen sighed.

"Xiao Chen, we have lost the support of the most powerful and critical families, and now the situation is not very good for us, what do you say I should do?" Zhu Xiaoxiao asked at the signal of Chief Long.

"That's exactly what I'm trying to tell you." Xiao Chen swallowed his saliva, exhaled a long breath, and said, "Before I suggest to you, I will explain to you the structure of power in this world. ”

"The structure of world rights? What does that mean? Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't understand Xiao Chen's words in this world.

"The power structure, well, class hierarchy, you know?" Hearing Zhu Xiaoxiao's reply, Xiao Chen continued: "Generally speaking, this world is divided into four class levels, the first is the supreme imperial power, the second is the great feudal lord, that is, the families of various powerful forces, the third is the nobles who have no fiefdom, such as summoners, and the fourth is the commoners, the number of these four classes is like a triangle, there is only one emperor at the top, and there are tens of thousands of civilians at the bottom. ”

Zhu Xiaoxiao thought about this question for the first time, the more she listened, the more fascinated she became, Xiao Chen's description to her was easy to understand, but the deep meaning contained in the meaning was thought-provoking.

"Therefore, the people's hearts should not be big feudal lords, they should not be those big nobles who only know interests and have no benevolent hearts, Xiaoxiao, if you want to sit on the throne, the objects you want to win over must be summoners and civilians, just like the army around you, which is built by the people of these two classes."

"Xiao Chen, I understand, as long as I find a way to get the support of the Imperial Summoners and civilians, I will gain incomparably powerful power, I can do anything." Zhu Xiaoxiao said excitedly.

"Well, you can't say that, you can't do it to the detriment, or damage the interests of most people, otherwise, the power gathered by interests will also fall apart because of interests." Xiao Chen hurriedly explained, lest Zhu Xiaoxiao want to deviate from his meaning.

You can do anything in one sentence, which contains too many emotions.

It is difficult to win people's hearts, because it is difficult to make people believe that you are in the first place, but it is easy to lose people's hearts, as long as a mistake, a trivial matter, can be magnified and disappointed.

Zhu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, Xiao Chen continued: "Xiaoxiao, the strength of the civilians is huge, but a single civilian is extremely fragile, if you climb the throne, please think more about these people of yours." ”

"I will, Xiao Chen, I will." Zhu Xiaoxiao said firmly.

"I believe in you." Xiao Chen laughed, there were some things that didn't need to be said explicitly, he believed that Zhu Xiaoxiao was clear in his heart.

If Zhu Xiaoxiao, for the sake of her own safety and for the sake of her own imperial hegemony, completes the deployment of the army of Feiteng City, and makes the army of the island country drive straight into the center of the empire, displacing hundreds of ordinary people, or dying tragically in the war, this sin will be great, and it will be equivalent to making her lose the hearts of the people.

If this scene really happens, although Xiao Chen will still support her because of his closeness to Zhu Xiaoxiao, he is afraid that there is a hurdle in his heart that he can't get over, and he has always been on his heart.

Xiao Chen is not a person in this world after all, although he has a good heart, but when he can't do it, he can always find a way to keep himself out of the situation.

In fact, now, except for wanting some people to look at him no longer as waste, and to ensure that he can live safely, everything else he feels has nothing to do with him.

What emperor wants to dominate, what tragic wars, it has nothing to do with him, if it weren't for a little affection for Zhu Xiaoxiao, he wanted to do this friend a little favor, he would look at the world from God's perspective.

He is not a person of this world after all.

Xiao Chen thought about it, and finally exhaled a long breath and said, "Xiaoxiao, you are waiting for me in Feiteng City, and I will go to you soon." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Zhu Xiaoxiao said softly, as if whispering.

After talking to Zhu Xiaoxiao on the phone, Xiao Chen's mood became heavy, and he had a faint premonition that he and Zhu Xiaoxiao would go in two different directions, and they would get farther and farther away.

Xiao Chen has been lonely all his life, his relatives are not around, because of his ability, he has always been looked down upon, and he has no friends.

From sensible to this year, Xiao Chen only has one friend, Liang Yuechen, or his fiancée, but later, maybe because of her age, or because of her parents, the two have gone farther and farther apart.

Liang Yuechen's betrayal and departure have left a wound in Xiao Chen's heart that can never heal, and it is precisely because he cares that Xiao Chen cherishes the people around him more, especially the friends who can make friends.

And Zhu Xiaoxiao is one of his cherished friends, in fact, Xiao Chen thinks that he and Zhu Xiaoxiao are a natural pair under the misunderstanding of some people.

However, Xiao Chen knew in his heart that he regarded Zhu Xiaoxiao as a relative, and if the two could be combined, he would not refuse, but if Zhu Xiaoxiao had a more suitable candidate, he would also bless him, and this mood was precisely out of cherishment.

However, now he felt an inexplicable sense of loss again, as if he had a premonition that Liang Yuechen was going to leave him.
