Facing Emperor Hongwei's forced gaze, Xu Rui just lowered his head and didn't speak, and when Emperor Hongwei saw that he had made up his mind to fight with him, he simply squinted his eyes and asked coldly.

"What if you want the world, what if you want to live forever?"

Xu Rui bowed deeply to the emperor again and said: "If the saint wants the world, the minister is willing to help with all his might, and if the saint wants to live forever, the minister can't do anything." ”

"What if I want the world and immortality?"

Emperor Hongwei snorted coldly, and his tone raised three points in vain.

Xu Rui said: "The minister is still the same as just now, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and the saint is a first-class wise man in the world, how can he not understand this truth?" ”

"Hahahaha!"

Emperor Hongwei suddenly laughed a few times, and his tone became even colder.

"Can't do anything? Is it really impossible, or unwilling? ”

Xu Rui raised his head, looked at Emperor Hongwei sincerely, and said, "The minister himself can't live forever, so how can he help the saint to live forever?" If the saint must act like this, the minister can only think of a trick to deceive the saint. ”

"Bold! Do you dare to deceive you?! ”

Emperor Hongwei snorted, and Liu Yi, who was waiting outside the house, trembled in his heart, glanced at Wang Shun beside him, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

Xu Rui in the room did not retreat at all, and arched his hand: "The minister has no intention of deceiving the king, and he looks forward to the saint's discernment." ”

"Hmph, let me see? Your master Guiguzi is clearly a land immortal who has lived for more than 1,200 years, you are his personal disciple, and you actually said that you can't live forever, isn't it a bully? ”

Emperor Hongwei was furious.

Xu Rui smiled dumbly and said, "Minister, may I ask the saint, what is an immortal?" ”

Emperor Hongwei was slightly stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but he heard Xu Rui continue: "The Holy One knows what is above the Nine Heavens? ”

"You've been above the Nine Heavens?!"

Emperor Hongwei's eyes widened.

Xu Rui didn't answer, and said to himself: "Above the nine heavens is a bright galaxy, different from the beautiful stars in myths and legends, every star you see is like the sun, it is a huge heavenly fire ten million times larger than this world, and it will be burned to ashes if it is thousands of miles away."

And around these stars, there will be countless small stars that will not shine, and among the trillion small stars, there will be a earth like this world, pregnant with countless lives. ”

"You're saying it's a star that doesn't shine?"

Emperor Hongwei said in shock.

Xu Rui nodded calmly: "Your Majesty, the Holy Candle, this is indeed the case, this matter is a long story, and when there is time, the minister can talk to the Holy Lord in detail."

What the minister wants to say today is that the world we live in is vast, and there are all kinds of creatures, some of which are even ten million times smarter and stronger than people, and the minister doesn't know if there are immortals in this world, even if there really is, it is just another life! ”

"Regardless of whether what you say is true or not, even if everything is true as you said, how can you explain Guiguzi, who has lived for more than a thousand years?"

"Holy Lord, the family teacher Guiguzi is no longer the mentor of the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, the so-called Guiguzi, who has lived for more than a thousand years, is just a name passed down from generation to generation, and the Guigu sect is just a school!"

"What?! What about that day thunder? What about the treasures in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion? How did you get to the Nine Heavens? ”

Emperor Hongwei was stunned for a moment and asked in a deep voice.

Xu Rui sighed and said, "If the minister said that the heavenly thunder and the treasure were made by the minister himself, do you believe it?" As for the nine heavens, the ministers built an astronomical telescope that could see the stars clearly, so that the saint could know the authenticity when he saw the moon at night. ”

With a "snap", Emperor Hongwei sat back in his chair in despair.

What Xu Rui said was something he had never heard of, and it was even incompatible with his perception of the world, but out of the intuition of an emperor and the long-standing way of the emperor, he could be sure that what Xu Rui said was at least ninety percent true.

It's just that the more this happens, the more desperate he becomes.

Before Xu Rui appeared, he had never had the luxury of the unrealistic way of immortality, it was this "immortal disciple" who was different everywhere that gave him a desire for immortality, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was this young man who personally extinguished the hope of immortality.

Xu Rui sighed: "Your Majesty, although the length of life is limited, the width is infinite, although the turtle has a long life but does nothing, compared to it, any person's life is much more exciting than it."

Therefore, the meaning of life is never about how long you can live, but about how much you can do.

If the world can be unified and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it will be the most wonderful life in the ages, so why bother with the ethereal way of eternal life? ”

Emperor Hongwei looked at the teacup on the table with a blank face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Rui didn't care whether he heard his words or not, and continued: "I heard that Your Majesty likes to read the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Zhu Zhen, the founding emperor of the previous dynasty, and especially likes the bridge of the three visits to the thatched house.

In the past, Zhuge Kongming knew the general trend of the world before he came out, and put forward the advanced idea of a three-legged stand to Liu Bei with the famous 'Longzhong pair', which led to the later Three Kingdoms.

Although the minister is not talented, today he wants to dare to tell His Majesty about his Longzhong, and it depends on whether the saint dares to use the minister! ”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Hongwei suddenly looked at Xu Rui, and his eyes instantly regained a sharp edge, and it seemed that he had completely walked out of the shadow of despair in just an instant.

"Do you think that I am like those mediocre mediocre talents, jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and a little rich is peace? If I don't have the heart to embrace all rivers, why should I point to the world? ”

Saying that, Emperor Hongwei laughed: "Xu Rui, Xu Rui, it's true that you have no ambition, but have you been a shrinking turtle just because you have no ambition?" You are afraid! I'm afraid of the strong wind that blows down the beautiful trees in the forest!

You underestimate me, although I don't dare to call myself the first saint of the ages, but at least you don't dare to use this kid, don't you just want to tell me that you don't want to be a slave? I'll tell you today, and I've never looked down on you! ”

Emperor Hongwei said loudly.

Xu Rui was shocked and bowed deeply to Emperor Hongwei.

"The minister misinterpreted the saint, and asked the saint to forgive the sin."

Emperor Hongwei snorted coldly: "Come on, you have no regrets in your heart, so why bother to act up?" Say your opinion, don't act in front of me. ”

Xu Rui nodded and said: "When the two heroes are strong today, if you want to say that it is complicated, it is indeed much more complicated than the Three Kingdoms, but if you want to say that it is simple, it is not difficult to go anywhere, it is nothing more than the competition between the north and the south."

Just as Tongsheng said last time, the Northern Dynasty is more than twice as large as the Southern Dynasty in terms of area, population, and economy, but it is slightly inferior to the Southern Dynasty in terms of military force.

Once the two dynasties fought a war to destroy the country, it would be a situation in which both sides would lose, and at that time, the small and submissive countries around them would attack like wolves and replace the position of the two dynasties.

A victorious general does not win all wars, but does not fight wars that have a high probability of losing.

It is precisely because of this that King Wuling has always adopted a policy of encroachment on our dynasty, exterminating tens of thousands of people today, occupying a few cities tomorrow, accumulating a lot, and the strength and weakness will inevitably change position after a few decades, and that is when he will dominate the world. ”

"You told me these things last time, and I thought so, and now I want to know is, what do you have to do to crack King Wuling's cannibalization plan?"

When it comes to state affairs, Emperor Hongwei instantly turned back into that calm emperor.

Xu Rui said: "In the minister's view, the essence of the struggle between the great powers is the competition of comprehensive national strength, the so-called comprehensive national strength is politics, economy, culture, diplomacy, military and science and technology, these six points complement each other, use well, each point is a sword to break the enemy." ”

Emperor Hongwei frowned: "I can understand the first five points, but I don't understand what technology is?" ”

Xu Rui said with a smile: "Your Majesty forgot, the minister just said that the treasures in the Heavenly Thunder and Tianbao Pavilion were all made by the minister?" The theory and technology that can make these things are technology! ”

Emperor Hongwei was slightly surprised: "Are you saying that Tianlei can also be mass-produced like a sword?" ”

Xu Rui nodded: "Not to mention the heavenly thunder, if the development of science and technology is to use tens of thousands of people to solve the Southern Dynasty, and then to develop the Southern Dynasty can be solved by thousands, hundreds of people, and then to develop, you can even send a few heavenly thunders to solve the Southern Dynasty by yourself, and in the end, even if it shoots down the sun and moon in the sky, it is not a problem!" ”

"What?!"

Emperor Hongwei's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Xu Rui in disbelief.

Xu Rui said with a smile: "The art of war is to attack the army on the cloud, then to attack the enemy, then to attack the army, and to attack the city, and the army that surrenders without a fight is the best policy, and if you really start a war, you will already fall behind."

What's more, the power of science and technology is endless, and making a few powerful weapons is just a trivial matter, the minister only said one thing, with the development of science and technology, the grain yield per mu can reach dozens of times the current one, or even hundreds of times, does the saint still think that these weapons can be put on the table? ”

"Really?"

Emperor Hongwei was shocked again.

Not to mention that the yield per mu has increased by dozens of times, that is, it has increased by one or two times, and with the current population, there will be no more hunger in the world.

Xu Rui nodded and said: "Even under the current conditions, Your Majesty will give the minister a hundred acres of fertile land, and the minister is sure to increase the yield per mu by three times within a year."

However, there is one thing that the minister should make clear in advance that although the prospects of science and technology are good, they need to be accumulated bit by bit, and it is impossible to achieve the ultimate goal that the minister said is probably not hundreds or thousands of years. ”

A flash of disappointment flashed across Emperor Hongwei's face: "Speaking of which, I'm back to square one, if I can't live forever, how can I wait so long?" ”

Xu Rui said with a smile: "The minister just said that politics, economy, culture, diplomacy, military and science and technology, these six points complement each other, regardless of up and down, and use them well, each point is a sword to break the enemy. ”

Emperor Hongwei frowned and asked, "How do you plan to use these sharp swords?" ”

Xu Rui opened a small drawer, took out a thick letter and handed it to Emperor Hongwei, and said: "In terms of politics, we will carry out comprehensive reforms, establish new education, break the monopoly of the aristocracy on officialdom, widely absorb talents, streamline the bureaucracy, and establish a simple and efficient officialdom mechanism.

According to the minister's rough estimate, as long as the reform achieves initial results, His Majesty will inevitably have a good government decree, the monarch and the minister will be integrated, and the efficiency will be increased by at least three times.

In the economic aspect, we should carry out comprehensive reforms, and at the present stage we will still focus on farming, but we should encourage the development of industry and commerce, and gradually increase the proportion of industry and commerce through market regulation.

According to the minister's calculations, within ten years, the annual revenue of the state treasury will increase at least fivefold.

With the 'united front' at its core, diplomacy unites all forces that can be united through various means to isolate and weaken the South Korea, and eventually defeat or cause the South to collapse on its own.

Of course, it is still uncertain whether diplomacy will be effective or how long it will take.

Military and technological are special, as they require large sums of silver as a foundation, and the amount of silver that the Holy Lord can provide depends on the results of political and economic reforms, as well as the cost of diplomacy.

Therefore, at the present stage, the military ministers advocate the establishment of a pro-army of the Son of Heaven directly under the command of the Holy Lord, select outstanding generals and soldiers from the whole army, arm them with new weapons, new formations, and new tactics of training, and the scale does not need to be too large, but the combat strength must steadily surpass the three invincible Wuling pro-army.

With this trump card, the saint will be able to straighten his waist, and if used properly, he can at least curb the encroachment of the Southern Dynasty on the local battlefield.

At present, there is no foundation for great development in science and technology, and the biggest obstacle is still talent, and it is necessary to wait for the establishment of new schools in the political reform to achieve certain results before it can be fully implemented.

The minister just mentioned that there are specific implementation articles in the song, a total of six articles, 1,368 small articles, the minister will call it the six chapters of the rejuvenation of the country, please the Holy Emperor. ”

Xu Rui finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at Emperor Hongwei with a smile.

Didn't you want me to contribute, now I'll give you a big surprise, it's up to you to see if you have the courage to use it.

Emperor Hongwei had already frowned when he heard Xu Rui's words, and then looked at the thick six chapters of Xingguo, and only glanced at it a few times, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Xu Rui's reform is a successful case in another world, including detailed reform content, steps, goals, time, employment strategies, etc., very detailed, if really implemented, over time will be able to achieve great results.

But in the eyes of Emperor Hongwei, each of the six chapters of Xingguo made his heart tremble.

Take the reform of the bureaucratic system as an example, this article alone involves the vital interests of all officials, and the resistance must be unimaginably great, and once all officials oppose it, even the emperor will be isolated, and who will implement the new policy?

Looking at the large-scale establishment of new schools, once it is really implemented, will there be no uproar among the hundreds of schools? At that time, it is not known whether the new talents will be able to be recruited, at least Mr. Dongli and other celebrities may defect to the Southern Dynasty.

Emperor Hongwei has his eyes on the world, and he has to admit that the blueprint thrown by Xu Rui is indeed tempting, but such a reform that subverts heaven and earth may cause chaos in the world at any time, even with his boldness, he has to be cautious.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and he still remembers what Xu Rui said at the beginning.

Emperor Hongwei looked at the six chapters of Xingguo tremblingly, the two emotions of surprise and horror in his heart alternately rose and fell, and his face was cloudy.

Xu Rui didn't speak, just looked at Lao Zhao with a smile, he had been tortured by Lao Zhao for so many months, and only now did he have a hint of revenge.

I can't be blamed for this, whoever told you not to give me a good time, I naturally can't make you comfortable.

Xu Rui laughed again and again in his heart.

After a whole meal, Emperor Hongwei slowly put down the music in his hand, and looked at Xu Rui with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

"The strategy you play is indeed the way to govern the world through the country, and I am afraid that you can think of it as a kid in the world, and you really dare to take it out, but everything you say in it is a fundamental matter, and I have to think about it."

Emperor Hongwei said slowly, and Xu Rui nodded again and again when he heard it.

It's right if you don't dare to do it, whether it's limited by vision or the butt decides the head, as long as there is reason, absolutely no emperor dares to adopt this letter.

When Xu Rui wrote this letter, he didn't really want Emperor Hongwei to accept advice, but to take the initiative to avoid those things he didn't want to participate in.

Anyway, I gave you the idea, who is to blame if you don't adopt it? In the future, boy, if I am lazy and idle, you won't be able to say anything more, right?

Xu Rui was satisfied, but he sighed on his face, took out a booklet from the drawer at the head of the bed and handed it to Emperor Hongwei, and said: "This is the method and ingredients for making immortal thunder, and the minister will hand it over to the saint today." ”

Emperor Hongwei's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously reached out to take it, but just as he was about to touch the booklet, his hand paused slightly, trembling and hovering in mid-air for a long time.

Xu Rui raised his head and saw that Emperor Hongwei's eyes were red, looked at him and looked at the booklet in his hand, and his heart seemed to be at war between heaven and man.

"Hmph, I've been waiting for you for a few months, and now I'm finally willing to take it out? Forget it, the twisted melon is not sweet, and I am not an insatiable person. New 81 Chinese network updates the fastest Mobile:://

Unless you dare to disobey the thousand-year-old ancestral teachings of the Guigu Sect and do something rebellious, I will always trust you! ”

Hearing this, Xu Rui had no surprise in his heart, but a faint sense of loss.

He handed over the formula of gunpowder to the emperor, firstly, to reassure him, and secondly, it was the same as the sixth chapter of Xingguo, throwing this hot potato to him, letting him toss it himself, saving him the trouble of always looking for himself, anyway, in addition to black powder, Xu Rui also has countless more powerful explosives to develop, and there is no shortage of this chicken rib.

However, Emperor Hongwei is really scheming, and he will not give up if he does not tie Xu Rui to his chariot, although his words are good, but the real meaning is actually to tell Xu Rui that your fate has long been tied to me, and if you want to get out, there is no door.

What's more, not wanting it now doesn't mean not wanting it in the future, Xu Rui is a smart person, and naturally knows that it is always a hidden danger that the formula of the fairy thunder is not mastered by the emperor, and when the time is right, he will take the initiative to hand over this thing, there is no need to make it look so ugly.

Sure enough, after asking Xu Rui to take back the formula of the fairy thunder, Emperor Hongwei spoke lightly.

"I still need to think twice about the six chapters of the rejuvenation of the country, but you said that the establishment of an emperor's pro-army, I think it is feasible, and it is feasible now!

I want you to take out what you have learned all your life, and within three years to build an army for me to stabilize the Wuling pro-army, give you two months, plan and prepare well, and I will make a formal order in two months, if you can't do it, I will ask you! "New Bayi Chinese Network debuted

After speaking, Emperor Hongwei laughed, his mood instantly improved, and he strode out of Xu Rui's room with the six chapters of Xingguo in his arms.

Xu Rui looked at his back in a daze and smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, this is the result, the capitalists who exploit labor will always have this face, and from now on I am afraid that they will be busy, and the good leisure time will be gone forever......

He lay on his head, helplessly preparing for a painful new life.
