Lan Jing'an bowed a tear for Xie Weining in his heart, these two paths were too cruel for him. But this is Xia's internal affairs after all, and it is not something she should ask. What's more, even if she knew Mr. Aota's suggestion, she couldn't tell him. Lan Jing'an could only quietly press his mind and ask the question of the unification of the world instead.

Guo Qingtian said: "If we want to talk about the unification of the world, we must start with the separation and integration of political power. Let's talk about the division first, and then talk about the unification of the world. ”

Guo Qingtian explained to her in detail: "I think you also read history, which regime did not start to accumulate the power of division and collapse from within from the beginning of reunification?" If the imperial power is concentrated, it all depends on the benevolence of the emperor, and if one person is mediocre, the country will not be a country. If the power is dispersed, the people's hearts are insufficient, the upper class competes for power, the middle level pursues profit, and the lower level depends on the sky. ”

He paused and said, "But the root problem is the land. That's all there is to it. If the period of peace and prosperity is too long, the population will grow, and if the increase in land interest cannot match the expansion of the population, corruption, natural disasters, taxes, land annexation, any small factor will lead to civil strife. This is the reason why a country collapses from within. ”

"From the outside, race and culture are barriers that cannot be crossed, close to each other, if they are far apart, how can we understand each other? If a country develops too fast without military support, the surrounding countries will either be inspired by the country's culture and absorb, or simply plunder and directly occupy the country's prosperity. And vice versa, the law of the jungle is an eternal truth. This is the external cause of the destruction of a nation. ”

"Two factors, both internal and external, are destined to make it impossible for the glory of a surname to really continue for eternity." After speaking, Guo Qingtian looked at Lan Jing'an, who looked serious, and saw that she was thinking carefully, so he paused for a while, waited for her to digest it, and then said again: "After saying that, we must divide for a long time, let's talk about the division for a long time." ”

"The reason why the world exists is because of the Great Dao. Regardless of whether the region is rich or poor, the vast majority of people do not like turmoil and war. No matter who sits on the throne, the people must eventually be led. Only unification is in line with the common interests and aspirations of the majority of the people. Only when the world is determined can we promote the next prosperity and progress. ”

"And the reunion after every upheaval is the best start of a dynasty. Because only the new emperor produced in this way, too close to the collapse of the last regime, can best learn the lessons of the previous dynasty. Such a person is vigilant and nervous enough to pay the most attention to the people's livelihood and military power, and be vigilant against changes, so he is also the most likely to make a move to consolidate power for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

"Since it is destined to be together for a long time. Then it depends on the timing. The old man thinks that it is now almost the heyday of division. When the moon is full, it loses, and when the water is full, it overflows. Let's see that now people's hearts are panicking, and if they are all over the world, how can there be a country or a place that is stable and war-free? In addition, the weather was not good in the past few years, and after several years of war, the people of all countries were exhausted, do you think it is time for great reunification? ”

After listening to Mr. Qingtian's words, Lan Jing'an thought it was true. This Mr. Qingtian is really wise, and it is really worth it to see him and listen to you. Lan Jing'an humbly asked: "Then according to you, who will become the master of the world at present?" ”

Lan Jing'an asked this, but it made Zhang Xun nervous for a while. He is good friends with Qingtian, what Qingtian said before is already shocking, wouldn't it be bad if Qingtian's candidate was not Xiao Qingyun?

Although Zhang Xun thinks that Lan Jing'an is a reasonable and gentle person, how can a girl like her, who has led soldiers and killed people with her own hands, really be innocent and harmless? She had a deep relationship with the marshal, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for her to accept other results. In case she becomes murderous, then he himself will be too sorry for his old friend.

On the other hand, if she could accept other results and switch to someone else, wouldn't he hurt the marshal? How to explain to Xiao Qingyun and the cadres? Although Zhang Xun didn't show it on his face, he couldn't help but sweat on his back.

Lan Jing'an also knew that he was asking this question boldly and trickily. Obviously, Mr. Qingtian knew that he and Zhang Xun were both cadres of the army, and she wanted to see if Mr. Qingtian had the courage to tell the truth and say something. Since she respects him, she naturally hopes that he can tell the truth.

Guo Qingtian's face was indifferent, and he didn't take this question seriously, and asked Lan Jing'an with some answers that were not what he asked: "Wumin, do you believe the two hexagrams of the previous great secretary?" ”

Lan Jing'an listened to him kick the question back to him, and his brows quickly furrowed for a moment. It's a question that can't be answered in any way. If he said that he was convinced, I am afraid that Mr. Aota would avoid his own problems by doing so. If she said that she didn't believe it, she not only denied her mother, but also denied herself and Brother Qingyun. If this word is spread, how can it be born?

Lan Jing'an pondered for a moment and said, "Believe it or not." Destiny is determined by heaven, and transportation depends on man. ”

Zhang Xun couldn't help but give Lan Jing'an a cheer. Guo Qingtian looked at her with a smile and nodded: "The old man thinks so too." The old man is not a fairy, and he can't tell who will be the lord of the world. But the old man can talk about his understanding of the Lord of the world. ”

Lan Jing'an sighed the old fox in his heart, and listened carefully to Mr. Qingtian's words: "The old man believes that it is easy to be a hero in troubled times, but a hero who can really stand out must have two points: reputation and ability. ”

"If the name is not right, the word is not good; If you don't go your way, you won't get it. This is also the reason why in the past dynasties, it is rare to see the villagers rise, but there are frequent changes in the gate valve. Therefore, such as Wu Daoming and others, they have some ability, but it is difficult to achieve great things. Speaking of ability, there are three kinds of ability: domination, strategy, and benevolence. For heroes, there will be both, just see which one is heavier. ”

"On the other hand, in troubled times, the young and vigorous are often more popular with the people than the old at the end of their lives. The old man has wisdom, but he lacks the passion for change. Only the young have enough courage. Therefore, the master of future unification should be young talents. ”

Lan Jing'an bowed his head slightly, his eyes were bright, and he felt that what Mr. Qingtian said was really good. Guo Qingtian took a sip of tea and said the most daring words: "In this world, the master of the cadre army is the best at commanding, and the ninth prince of Xia is strategic, plus the two of them are noble, they are not far from the weak crown, which is the most admired by the old man." But beyond that, the variables will also come to a third person. ”

Lan Jing'an was happy to hear him mention Brother Qingyun; When he mentioned Xie Weining, although he didn't feel much in his heart, he was not surprised. But when Mr. Qingtian talked about the third person, she was suffocated, and hurriedly asked: "Who is this third person?" ”

Guo Qingtian glanced at Zhang Xun, then looked at Lan Jing'an, and said in a deep voice: "This person is the great priest who is currently recuperating in Jiangling City. ”

Lan Jing'an was listening with bated breath, but Mr. Qingtian's words made her almost deflated. She had to adjust her breathing slightly, and asked as if she didn't care about herself: "This great priest is just a woman, how can he affect the world?" ”

Guo Qingtian was a little disappointed in his eyes: "Once upon a time, the old man said that the lord of the world must be a man?" Those who are in charge of all the people, and those who have both talents and virtues live in them. Wumin, tell me, what does the current chief secretary not agree with what I said before? ”
