"The lord is really as wise as a torch!" Su Fengji nodded with a smile, and the expression on his face did not show the slightest embarrassment. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Wechen always feels that the judgment of the three of them, General Guo, General Shi and General Chang, is not entirely out of public intentions. Even if it is, at least it is disrespectful to the lord!"

"They are all ruffians, how else do you want them to be knowledgeable?" Liu Zhiyuan shook his head, not caring at all about the second half of Su Fengji's words. "But the public heart?

He suddenly smiled, picked up his nine-eared and eight-ring broadsword with his backhand, and danced a ball of rolling lightning.

The surrounding guards did not get orders, and no one dared to come up to recruit sparring partners. In fact, although they are young and strong, if they fight alone, they are indeed not Liu Zhiyuan's opponents. The latter joined the army as a young man, and in this half of his life, he cut down hundreds of enemies under the big sword, all the way from the big head soldier to the position of the Jiedu envoy. No matter the experience, skill and decisiveness of the shot, it is far from being comparable to others.

Su Fengji had never seen his father-in-law dancing alone with a knife, so he was stunned and a little overwhelmed. In those two sentences just now, he dared to guarantee that he was not without purpose. Shi Hongzhao and other military generals behaved too rudely in the conference hall, and they did not have the calm appearance that a Zhuguo general should have. And the Han Palace's Mansion is about to be upgraded to the Han Dynasty, a bunch of soldiers and ruffians will roll up their arms and sleeves in front of the emperor at every turn to threaten to beat people, when the emperor sees it in his eyes, his heart will definitely not be too tasteful.

His judgment was indeed correct, Liu Zhiyuan was indeed relying on the dancing knife to vent his anger. A person fought fiercely with the air around him for half a column of incense for a long time, and then stopped sweating profusely, poking the knife shaft with his hand and shaking his head with a sneer, "Gongxin, they must have some! It's Brother Guo, although he was born in the army like the old man, his knowledge is more than twice as strong as you!"

"Weichen, Weichen didn't expect that the second prince might have been deliberately sent to the door by someone else!" Su Fengji's face was slightly red, and he sincerely admitted his mistake. "Weichen is negligent, please punish the lord!"

"What do you blame? If you are punished, others will not know, in fact, I myself acquiesced in your fakes to become true?" Liu Zhiyuan glared at him lightly and continued to sneer.

"Yes, it's Wechen's dereliction of duty. I have betrayed the trust of my lord!" Su Fengji was slightly happy when he heard this, but he put on a guilty look on his face, and continued to repent with his head down.

"That's it, who hasn't missed a beat? It's an old man, and he has never lost a battle in his life. After losing, summarize the lessons and find a way to get it back next time. If you lose once, you will cut yourself a few times, and you don't need others to kill you, you will let your blood dry!" Liu Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hand generously again.

He had just been drenched in sweat, and his face looked unusually ruddy. The spirit and spirit are also several times more abundant than when they were in the main hall before. Therefore, every word and deed is full of grandeur and domineering, which makes people unconsciously break their hearts.

Su Fengji rubbed his eyes, his voice trembled a little, "The lord treats each other like this, Weichen, Weichen really hates not to be powdered, powdered ......"

"There will be a lot of places to use you in the future, there is no need to say such nonsense!" Liu Zhiyuan poked the big knife in his hand firmly on the ground, walked quickly to the hand of a guard, snatched the skin bag full of wine, poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth, and then plugged the plug casually and threw it into Su Fengji's arms. "You can drink some too, it's cold, and your bones are thin. Drink some wine to invigorate your blood!"

"Yes, thank you!" Su Fengji hugged the leather bag, looking at the residual saliva traces at the mouth of the sac, and his throat and eyes were nauseous. But what the king gives, he cannot refuse. I can only pretend that I don't see anything. Unscrewed the stopper, sipped a few drops mouth-to-mouth, and then plugged the plug tightly like Liu Zhiyuan, and returned it with both hands. "Weichen is not good at drinking, and he is afraid that he will lose his honor in front of the king, so he doesn't dare to drink more!"

"You scholar, it's just hard work!" Liu Zhiyuan glanced at him, took the wine bag, and slowly tasted it mouth-to-mouth, smiling and counting it. "I've told you all, I don't care about that. What I care about is whether I take me seriously in my heart, and I don't care about the red tape on the surface. Moreover, now we in Hedong can't be too particular!"

Without waiting for Su Fengji to interject, he paused and quickly added, "It's all an old brother who rolled out of the pile of dead people, I put up a royal frame with them, can I put it up? I don't know, don't you think that I, Liu Zhiyuan, am a villain, and I just have the hope of sitting on the throne, so I can't share the wealth with everyone?"

"..... this?" Su Fengji disagreed with this point of view in his heart. However, he didn't have the courage to argue with Liu Zhiyuan, so he could only nod with a wry smile.

"The rules definitely have to be changed, but not now. We can't fight each other because we should eat with chopsticks or eat with our hands. When I say that, you may understand?" Liu Zhiyuan had a lot of hopes for him, so he took the trouble to explain.

"Weichen thought shallow before, but at this moment, after the lord's order, the mouth suddenly opened!" Su Fengji bowed to the ground, convinced.

It's good that the other party doesn't really care about the rules of the court, as long as he cares, his current attitude is not wrong. As for being humiliated in public by Shi Hongzhao and other puppets, it would be good to lie on the salary and taste the guts. Anyway, the more I endure now, the greater the benefits in the future.

"And what you said about the public heart, Lone knows that you must be uncomfortable if you are swept away by a junior. Whoever you change, it's not comfortable!" Liu Zhiyuan drank a little anxiously, his tongue was slightly hard, and his face was ruddy. "But you can't deny it, he's right. I, and you at the beginning, thought too low of myself. If I want to be the emperor, even if I raise troops into Bianliang, why use other people's names?"

"That kid is a personal shrewd! Clearly disobedient, in fact, he jumped out and was the first to persuade him. Of course you think his words make sense?" Su Fengji muttered in his heart. Keep your mouth closed, smile and nod.

"And even if what he said today has no merit. I, I can't kill him!" Liu Zhiyuan suddenly raised his head and exhaled a long breath into the sky, "He is Chang Si's son-in-law, and Chang Si and Guo Wei had the grace of giving food back then. Shi Hongzhao is the most straightforward, but he spends money lavishly, and as soon as the creditor comes to the door these years, he has to ask Chang Si to pay off the debt. If you don't think about it in the past, even if you sell yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back. If I chop up Chang Si's son-in-law today without saying a word, what will a few of them think? ”

"But after all, you are a king, they are ministers!" Su Fengji was stunned and said with a frown.

"Junchen, Junchen, are you the current monarch and minister, is it still more than two hundred years ago? Xuanzong can cut off the heads of Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing with a holy decree? The rules have long changed!" Liu Zhiyuan poured a few more big sips of wine, blushing and shaking his head vigorously, "How could the Great Jin Gaozu not hate the old man so much that his teeth itched, but the old man went in and out of Bianliang Mian Sheng several times, and every time he took Shi Hongzhao and a cavalry under his command at most, did you see that Gaozu attacked the old man?"

"This, why is this?" Su Fengji was confused when he heard this, and asked with a frown.

"Can't be killed! Isn't it simple? Kill the old man, Guo Wei will definitely pull the flag and rebel, not to mention, who would dare to get close to Bianliang again with other apprehensive envoys? Even those henchmen under Gao Zu's command who are like the old man will die and be sad. In this way, as long as the foreign enemy invades, Gaozu will have to go into battle by himself. No matter how brave and good he is, sooner or later he will die without a place to be buried!"

"You, you mean, you mean General Shi and they .......?" Su Fengji was taken aback, and cold sweat rolled on his forehead instantly.

He originally dared to fight Guo Wei, Shi Hongzhao and others because he believed that Liu Zhiyuan, the king of Han, would stand up and uphold justice, and he also believed that Shi Hongzhao and others were loyal to Liu Zhiyuan.

And now, Liu Zhiyuan is clearly implying that he himself does not have absolute control over Shi Hongzhao, Chang Si, Guo Wei and others, and the latter will jump up and rebel when they are forced to be urgent. What did he do before, what were he doing if he wasn't looking for his own death?

Seeing that he was scared like this, Liu Zhiyuan sighed secretly in his heart. After thinking about it, he continued to add, "They will not rebel, but they will not let the old man slaughter them." This is a established rule since the Anshi Rebellion, although everyone doesn't say it to each other, they all know it. I don't believe you think about it carefully, the old things of Wei Bo and Wu Ning back then. Whoever treats the soldiers under his command is mean and unkind, how many people can get a good death?"

Wei Bo and Wuning were the two most powerful feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty. However, among Wei Bo's ten Jiedu envoys, four died in mutiny, and the four Jiedu envoys were supported by soldiers. In the thirty years before and after the Wuning Army, the three Jiedu envoys were expelled, and the imperial court and other feudal towns could not stop it. As for the other feudal towns of the late Tang Dynasty, the situation was more complicated. During the period from the Anshi Rebellion to the Huangchao Rebellion, there were nearly 200 mutinies of all kinds, of which less than one-tenth were against the armed court. In addition, eight or nine out of ten of them were generals and large soldiers who made a rebellion, and attacked and killed each other with the jiedu envoys. (Note 1)

Su Fengji read poetry and books, and of course he understood the allusions that Liu Zhiyuan said, and his heart suddenly felt more and more cold. The warriors relied on their military power, and even their lords did not dare to be too strict with them. How could the imperial court established in this way be able to become strong? Even ensuring that there is no wolf smoke inside is probably very problematic.

"Smack!" Liu Zhiyuan suddenly raised his hand and slapped him, as if he was cheering him up again, and as if he was encouraging himself. "You don't have to be afraid, just figure it out in your heart first, and then act in a measured manner. After all, unwritten rules have been around for hundreds of years. Let's take our time, take it one step at a time, and with enough time and effort, we can always find the best of both worlds. ”

"Yes! Weichen is willing to be crushed to pieces!" Su Fengji shivered and gritted his teeth.

"The old man is only in his early fifties this year, and you have just passed the age of not being confused. We still have time!" Liu Zhiyuan put down the wine bag, pulled out the nine-eared and eight-ring broadsword from the ground again, and danced slowly, just like the overlord of Western Chu facing the 100,000 Han army on the bank of the Wujiang River, "Do you know? The old man had at least three times back then, and he blocked the killing knife for Gao Zu. often thinks about saving the old man from a desperate situation, I'm afraid it is more than three times. Therefore, the old man didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the Great Jin Dynasty and became the emperor, but he became a loner. Every day, I fear that the brothers who once sacrificed their lives to defend themselves will jump up and rebel. The old man has already seen it, and the old man himself doesn't want to jump into the same pit. But the old man knew that he was actually walking on the edge of the pit every step he took, and if he was not careful, he would become a high ancestor. Therefore, the old man must bury this pit first, and then consider what other rules are unruly. If you can do it, your and my achievements will be no less than that of the original Han Gaozu and Xiao He. In the future, no matter who writes history books, whether he is convinced or not, even if he is castrated by the old man's children and grandchildren, he will have to write about it!" (Note 2)

Note 1: According to the statistics of scholar Zhang Guogang, between 763 (Anshi Rebellion) and 874 (Huangchao Uprising), among the 171 uprisings involving all types of feudal towns, 22 clashed with the Tang central government, accounting for 13%, mutiny (99) and general-school rebellion (37) accounted for 80%, and the others are unknown.

Note 2: In his early years, Liu Zhiyuan was a soldier under his adopted son Li Siyuan (later Tang Mingzong). At that time, Shi Jingjiao was Li Siyuan's general, and in the battle, Liu Zhiyuan disregarded his own life and death and rescued Shi Jingjiao twice. Shi Jingjiao felt and fell in love, and left Liu Zhiyuan under his account to become a Yamen capital school. Shi Jingjiao has been the emperor for seven years, and he is very contradictory to Liu Zhiyuan, and he is also wary of Liu Zhiyuan. After the ascension to the throne of the Lishi Shigemon, the situation was still the same.
