Chapter 489: The Way of Ruling the World
"Brother Liu, do you really think that this president is the kind of person who is jealous and jealous and will take your life?" Regarding Liu Xuanqing's expression as if he was on the guillotine, Su Tren really didn't know what to say, "You underestimate this president's measurements, right?"
"Where...... Liu just doesn't dare, and he doesn't deserve to be compared with the president, and he is also not worthy of drinking at the same table with you, you know, the president's Tianwei can only be looked up to. Liu Xuanqing was submissive, and there was only infinite belittling of himself and infinite exaltation of Sutron in his words.
"Too modest, this is the end of it, you and I have drunk it now, it's time to talk about some serious things, right?" Su Trun didn't take Liu Xuanqing's praise of himself seriously, but continued to talk about it with interest.
"I don't know if Brother Su has anything else to do?" Liu Xuanqing exclaimed, "It can't be that Brother Su is going to use force against the Demon Realm so soon, right?"
"Those ugly demons, sooner or later, this president will ask for them. It's just that at the moment, what the guild needs to improve is not military. Su Trun said, "The real king, not only to fight the country, but also to know how to sit on the country, how to govern this huge country, is also a profound knowledge, I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the Yuan family, make people's hearts confused, out of control." ”
"In the next mediocre person, I don't dare to criticize the major affairs of the country. Liu Xuanqing knew that he couldn't act, but he still pretended to be confused. However, this pretending again inevitably seems too hypocritical, right?
"Enough, I just want to hear Brother Liu's opinion, and besides, since Brother Liu knows the situation in the world, the policy of governing the world, Brother Liu should also have a bottom in his heart, right? Su Tlun's attitude towards Liu Xuanqing's overly low-key attitude seemed to have lost patience, and seeing that Liu Xuanqing was still silent, he said solemnly, "Brother Liu, I said earlier, you and I are the same, even if you change roles, you will not do worse than me." Because, there are only stupid generals, stupid soldiers and stupid people in this world, but there are no stupid emperors, so if you lead the Black Cloud Knights, you can also be invincible, on the contrary, let me lead the tribe of the natives, and I have no possibility of conquering the city, so today, you will treat you as me and look at the world from my standpoint. ”
Liu Xuanqing wasn't sure if this was a trap or not, at least how he looked at it now, there was a clear trap in Sutren's words. Sutron doesn't look for others but himself, which is very revealing, once his concept of governing the country conflicts with Sutren, then he can't live long. However, it was not a solution for him to keep silent, but now it seems that Sutren's attitude is really bold, whether he is sincere or fake, he probably hopes that he can be honest with each other, right?
Maybe he is too careful, so he doesn't need to be so nervous at all, and speaking out boldly may not be miserab. If Su Tren really saw that Liu Xuanqing had different intentions, he wouldn't be bad at saying a few words, right?
"So...... Liu is respectful, it is better to obey his fate. Liu Xuanqing replied in a low voice, he didn't know if he could cater to Su Trun's taste, he just had the courage to say his opinion, "Brother Su, the chaos in the world still lies in the hearts of the people, and the key to governing the world is whether or not the hearts of the people can be contained." The reason why the benevolent monarch, the bright monarch, and the holy monarch became was that they were able to gather people's hearts very well, while the faint monarch, the mediocre monarch, and the tyrant could not do it, which would lead to the loss of people's hearts, and then cause riots and threaten his rule. ”
"Well, what Brother Liu said is true. Sutron looked at him with a smirk, still chewing on the roast meat in his mouth, and the meaning in his expression was not particularly obvious.
Liu Xuanqing was also shocked at first, it was not good to be too public, and he was praised by the traitor, and he always felt a little alive. But when he saw that Sutlon seemed to be interested, he couldn't stop talking, so he continued: "The key to whether or not you can control people's hearts lies in whether the monarch is benevolent and righteous. After all, the ultimate goal of war is still for peace, and only by convincing people with virtue over time can the Quartet look up to virtue and all the people return to their hearts. ”
"Haha, I appreciate Brother Liu more and more, it seems that you are quite far-sighted, you are really worthy of my guild. Sutrun laughed happily, but it made Liu Xuanqing's heart feel turbulent.
"Well...... This is just Liu's drunken nonsense, a shallow opinion, Brother Su doesn't have to take it seriously. You must know that Liu's alcohol consumption has never been very good. Liu Xuanqing quickly pretended to be meaningless, touching the back of his head and smiling.
"No, this is not only not a contemptive opinion, but even a golden statement. Sutron curled the corners of his mouth, "Also, your alcohol consumption is not bad, but it is very good, although there are some differences with this president, but the combination of grace and power is really the best choice, at least in terms of the current governance of the original Zhongguo Zhucheng, it is the best choice." ”
"It's over. Liu Xuanqing reluctantly echoed and laughed a few times, and then asked in a low voice as tentatively, "Then Brother Su, what is your strategy for governing the country? Presumably your unique insights are far better than Liu's nonsense, right?"
"Since Brother Liu asked, the president would be respectful and obey his orders. Sullen drank a cup of bewitching and charming green "absinthe", and Su Trun was not afraid to pour out the world with Liu Xuanqing, pointing out the country to each other, "Although Su advocates the combination of grace and power, there is one difference between him and Brother Liu, that is, 'the army is not mighty', first establish the military authority, control the land, and then as a leader to give the people of the land." The so-called way of benevolence and righteousness also depends on the object, and there is no need to talk about benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and filial piety with rebels and enemies. I know all day long that sitting at the negotiating table will never be able to stabilize the world, and the greatness built on the vast number of living beings is the Great Wall made of iron and blood!"
"Brother Su......" Liu Xuanqing was deeply impressed by Su Tren's heroism, but he still no longer shy away from expressing some opinions in his heart, "If benevolence is not applied, people's hearts will be uncertain, and if people's hearts are uncertain, the war will continue." If we fail to cut down the roots, we will only invite resentment and revenge, and sow the seeds of war, and is not war a last resort for maintaining peace?"
"It's not a last resort, it's a must!" Suthren stressed, "The great husband is not afraid of revenge, nor is he afraid of war, and it is also necessary to cut down the roots of the enemy." The common people are stupid wretches, whose ignorance and ignorance can promote some productive forces in peacetime, but in wartime the rudders and the ruined and self-defeating wretches will only drag down the mighty army to fight, and if we want them not to be a burden to me, I can only use them at the right time. And as long as there is war, there will be a large number of dead people, this is contrary to benevolence and righteousness, and if you talk about benevolence and morality during the war, it is purely pedantic stupid, war, there is only iron and blood, do you understand?"
"No...... At no time can we abandon the morality of benevolence, righteousness, and morality...... That minimum loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are universal at any time and place......" Liu Xuanqing didn't know where he got the courage, and he actually retorted to Sutlon with the lowest and most powerful voice, "The reason why people are human is because they can abandon the cruelty of demons, if human beings don't even have the heart of benevolence and righteousness, then what is the difference between them and demons? Before learning to fight, we must learn to be human beings, which is the eternal way of saints." ”
"Hmph, don't talk about the way of a saint? The morality of a saint is incompatible with the morality of a king!" After hearing this, Sutron ridiculed him in a domineering manner, "The so-called way of a saint is all decadent deity, pedantic, and the president disdains them! Those literati and ink writers only know sour people all day long, but they themselves have no contribution to mankind, and they are first-class in saying cool things, and I just look down on them." Hmph, it is better to believe in books than no books, the words of the ancients may not be right, and the way of the saints is not the truth at all, with the renewal of the times, everything will have variables in the underworld, and those who get the country will be the trend of the times, and the destiny of heaven will return!"
"No one is a god, but the reason why the words of the saints have been handed down to the present day must be commendable and worthy of our reference. Liu Xuanqing said, "Existence is reasonable, existence must be valuable, these are some of Liu's shallow views." ”
When Sutron heard this, he laughed again: "Hahaha! In my opinion, existence is unreasonable! The value of those nobodies is to be used by me and become pawns of the strong to seize the country! Heroes kill people, heroes slaughter cities, and traitors usurp the country, and those pathetic weak people can only be killed, slaughtered, and usurped forever! Becoming a strong person is the only way to survive in the Heavenly Continent! If I feel that it is unreasonable, then I will change and obliterate it! The so-called benevolence, justice, Fairness, that is what only the strong deserve to talk about, and the weak can't even eat, so who will talk to you about benevolence, righteousness, and morality? Who will want to pursue fairness? Because fairness does not exist in the first place! There is no absolute dividing line between good and evil, between black and white, and all evils will be buried in the dust of history with the final victory! Survival of the fittest, survival of the strong, this is the truth, Brother Liu, do you understand?"
"I ...... I understand...... "It's true that the sad world is like this, it's still too difficult for Liu Xuanqing to change alone, he can only nod his head again and again, being an echo worm, but he still has the ambition of helping benevolence and righteousness, and then he said in a stunned voice, "However, the way of the sage ......"
"If the way of the sage works, why doesn't the sage stand up and save the common people by himself, Kuang Fu Sheji?" Su Trun said categorically, but he hit the nail on the head, leaving Liu Xuanqing speechless.
"This ...... Liu just felt that no one had the right to decide the direction of human destiny, whether it was a saint or a mortal. ”
"Brother Liu's words are wrong. Sutron smiled, "The general trend of the world, since ancient times, is 'divided for a long time, together for a long time must be divided', and I, Sutron, is now the 'god' who dominates the fate of mankind, the ignorant Li people will only worship the greatness of God, and they don't need to have free will, in the future, only my iron hooves and soldiers will be strong enough, then the entire heavenly continent, there will be only my will left, and if you want to cure the world, it is to let the people continue to be ignorant, continue to worship the 'god' in their hearts, and there will never be any resistance' God's thoughts, after all, only one 'god' is enough, and those who should be ants only need to be good ants. If war is inevitable, the people should believe in their 'God', believe that 'God' is with them, believe that it is glorious to shed their blood and sacrifice for their 'God', and unconditionally become God's pawn, become God's slave, and become God's help! Those who disobey 'God' should die! Whoever disobeys 'God' should die! Whoever disobeys 'God' should disappear! This is the truth of my Sutrun!"
Sutren's words are very realistic, this is the cruel reality that Liu Xuanqing's idealistic aura has to admit, whether it was in the past or now, the world has always been like this. It is not unreasonable for the ruler to bind the people's thoughts, some things, for the weak, the less they know, the better for them, and once the free will is overflowing, it will definitely breed ****, which is not conducive to the rule of the king, the better the treatment of those civilians, the more they will feel dissatisfied with their desires, the more they will yearn for freedom, the more likely it is to appear in batches of "Diao Min", if you want peace in the world, first of all, you must not have any voice of resistance, whether you don't want to resist or dare not resist, it doesn't matter, Liu Xuanqing must recognize the status quo.
Today, the law of the jungle in the mainland does not allow the emergence of ideas such as "capitalism", and the weak may be the way to survive by honestly relying on the strong, and the current Liu Xuanqing, like the weak, has no ability to change this status quo.
