Last time, he said that in Duanmugang, that is, Zhou Shuyu, personally asked Zheng Liang, the imperial historian of the extinct Dongwu Empire, about what he had seen and heard along the way. And Zheng Liang also knows everything, everything is said, although he refuses to surrender, but he does not hate the Red Tang Empire that destroyed his country, for this empire, for this emperor, he deeply admires, his empire has become a province of the Red Tang Empire, and the people of his own country have long been happy to welcome the army of the Red Tang Empire.

Duanmu Gang continued to ask, "Mr. Zheng, do you have any other suggestions?" ”

Zheng Liang sat down and said, "Your Majesty, govern the country with benevolence and filial piety, and the country has been governed. The next step, I am afraid, is to annex the nations. The first step was to annex the Shunyuan Empire, which had almost the same domestic situation as our Tobu Empire. After that, it is to destroy the Liechu Empire, and then, to destroy the Longhan Empire, and finally, to destroy the Youyun Empire. Your Majesty, I'm right!"

Duanmu Gang looked at him and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I thought. The Shunyuan Empire was faint and mediocre, and its national strength was now weakening. In the Liechu Empire, the monarch is suspicious, although it can be regarded as a Ming monarch, but the nobles of the major families and vassal kings within it are in their own affairs, and each has a heavy army, so they only need to wait for the opportunity, then they must have frequent civil strife in their country. As for the Longhan Empire, its monarch likes poetry and songs, but does not pity the people, likes to build palaces, and does not pity the people, but its country is rich, and I give it another money bag of the empire, so it will not be destroyed for the time being, and its monarch is short-sighted, even if the neighboring country Liechu Empire destroys the country, its monarch will not rescue, and it will be destroyed, just like taking something in a bag. As for the Youyun Empire, its military is strong and good at nomadism, so I put it last. ”

All the ministers were deeply admired, and Zheng Liang was also admired, he looked at the emperor in front of him, and listened to the confidence of his guidance, he was also deeply intoxicated. Such an emperor is very clear every step of the way. This made him admire it greatly.

After some discussion, Zheng Liang knelt down completely, he already deeply admired His Majesty in front of him, and said respectfully: "The minister was rude before, and I hope that Your Majesty will atone for his sins." Your Majesty is a wise king, who does not surrender to the country as a minister, but treats him with courtesy. The minister is full of admiration and is willing to contribute his meager strength to His Majesty. ”

Duanmu Gang looked at this Zheng Liang and said to him lightly: "Okay, since that's the case, I will make you the left concubine of the Zuo Chunfang of the Crown Prince Zhan Shifu to assist the prince." ”

"We're thanking you. Zheng Liang is already very convinced at this moment.

In fact, the wind and rain that Li Youliang played by Li Youliang, the Qing official of Shenghai Province in the household department, is indeed true. It seems that since Duanmugang's pro-government, the Chitang Empire has been smooth weather, and there are few disasters such as floods and droughts, and the people of the whole country have also attributed this phenomenon to His Majesty's benevolence and touched the heavens, so that the heavens protect the Chitang Empire. Even, those Taoist temples and other temples across the country have directly deified Duanmugang, which makes everyone in the world kneel down to Duanmugang, the emperor, as a god.

This kind of thing reached Duanmugang's ears, but Duanmugang couldn't cry or laugh. He had also decreed that the people should not be allowed to worship him, but it was to no avail. After all, an emperor who can speak to the people and administer justice, an emperor who can do practical things for them, and an emperor who allows them to live a good life, these people have never encountered such an emperor for generations, and their ancestors are facing shrinking land and increasing taxes. However, during the period of Duanmugang's generation of emperors, the land in their hands continued to increase, while the taxes were decreasing more and more, the granaries of their families were increasing, the children of every family had books, and their lives had hope, such emperors had surpassed any generation of emperors in their hearts. The so-called: love house and black. This also made these people respect Duanmuzhen, the crown prince who will inherit the throne in the future.

When Duanmugang was busy handling government affairs from morning to night, Duanmuzhen, the crown prince of the dynasty, had already left Jingyi County. And, rejoin his crown princess Feng Xuege in the Shang Capital Mansion. Now, Feng Xue Ge has really fallen in love with Duanmu Gang, and after they met, they didn't bring any guards, and they came to a beautiful outskirts of Shangdu Mansion together.

Now, it is June, the willows are still clinging, the river is sparkling, and the scenery is pleasant. Duanmu Gang is now twenty-one years old, his appearance is handsome and extraordinary, his face is like a crown of jade, and his demeanor is graceful.

And Feng Xuege, because of the war, now has added a heroic bearing. She, the crown princess, is well-known in the entire empire! Because of the character of Duanmugang, the emperor, the people of these empires are even closer to this crown princess. And Feng Xuege has been in the past three years, which has also made her even more respectful of that emperor. Naturally, this also made her feel a little apprehensive, although she really liked the prince, but for the emperor with profound virtue, the future father-in-law, she still didn't know how to face it?

At this time, the two of them walked slowly along the riverbank, and the two of them walked slowly at first, without speaking to each other. Finally, Duanmuzhen took the initiative to speak: "Xue Ge, this time when we go back, we should officially get married!"

"Oh. Feng Xuege just said lightly.

Duanmuzhen continued: "Why? Don't you want to? If you have any reluctance in your heart? I hope you can tell me? Also, don't worry too much, my father and my mother will not have too many rules, they are friendly, and they will definitely like you very much for a good daughter-in-law." ”

Feng Xuege looked at the man beside her, and she asked, "Could it be that Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is called that in front of your father, the emperor and the queen mother?"

Duanmuzhen continued: "Yes, my father and mother don't like to use the names of father and queen mother in front of the family. When we are together as a family, we all use this name. My father and my mother also opened a vegetable garden in the palace, and they worked every day, and I also farmed it with me. So, it wasn't until I was a little older that I realized that I was actually the crown prince, the prince of the country. Daddy said that we are also ordinary people, we are farmers, so why should we give up farming. Therefore, since I was a child, in addition to being taught literary classics and martial arts by those masters in the East Palace, in fact, I am also very proficient in all the things that ordinary people know. My father and mother made my childhood very happy, and later I gradually became sensible and obedient, and I gradually understood the good intentions of my father and mother. They made me understand that although I am the prince, I put aside this identity and am the people. And when he inherits the throne in the future, he must always remember the sufferings of the people. At the same time, I understand a truth even more, that is, when we have children in the future, we must also let them know how hard it is for a farmer from an early age, and let him experience the hardships of farmers by himself, instead of letting him be pampered, not diligent, and not divided. ”

Feng Xuege looked at the prince beside him and said lightly: "I really didn't expect that your childhood was so happy! Originally, I thought that your childhood must have been taught some imperial skills?"

Duanmu Zhen's tone suddenly turned cold and said, "The Emperor's Technique is just those so-called mediocre monarchs. My father once told me that it is true that some trade-offs are needed in the government, and even sometimes, it is even better to use villains than gentlemen, but remember not to be blinded by the imperial power, and to warn yourself all the time, and use learning to know people well, follow advice, use more officials to do practical things, and less use of rotten Confucianism who cares about every day. People who can write good articles are not necessarily able to govern the country. It is necessary to make more use of the talents of governing the country, and abandon the scholars who talk loudly and do not think about the hardships of the people's livelihood. So, in my heart, I once had a great ambition, when I inherit the throne in the future, I will do better than my father, I want to make this world no longer suffering people, I want to pacify the four countries, let the Chitang Empire dominate the Holy Continent continent, and let the light of the Chitang Empire shine on the whole world. ”

Hearing this, Feng Xue Ge suddenly felt a trace of fear in her heart, she looked at the future prince beside her, and for the first time really understood that the ambition in the heart of this prince was so ambitious. Suddenly, she remembered that she was afraid that her children would be even more terrible under the teaching of this ambitious prince.

However, Duanmu Zhen also seemed to see her thoughts, and he said lightly: "What? are you afraid!"

Feng Xuege looked at him and asked, "May I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, if your son is a faint monarch in the future, then what will you do?"

Duanmuzhen didn't even think about it, and said bluntly, "If he is because he is faint and cruels to the people, then go to Jiuquan to atone for his father! If we have many children in the future, except for the eldest son who is made the crown prince, then the others will definitely be crowned princes." Of course, I thought that after being taught, they would definitely be promising. However, if it is really for the sake of the throne that they can kill each other, mutilate their flesh and blood, and disregard the lives of the people, then I will definitely get rid of them. No matter what the history books say, I will not shield those who harm the people, and I will kill them to thank the world. Looking through the history books, those royal children who brutalized the people all evaded responsibility because of their identity. However, starting from the father, the prince must be guilty of the same crime as the common people if he violates the law. No one can excuse him. If the prince is punished, he must be stripped of his surname, and his ancestors must not be listed in the ancestral hall, and his children will be demoted to commoners, exiled for thousands of miles, and will not be allowed to enter the government for life. ”

Listening to Duanmuzhen's words, Feng Xuege understood that this person was definitely not joking, he was really going to kill.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
