Chapter 1314: Faint Monarch Mingjun
At this moment, Lin Si inevitably began to regret it.
He suddenly felt that he should not run away, and he should not hand over the throne to Yue Luoning.
She can't be a good moon king at all, can she?
This time, for the sake of the so-called overall situation, she sacrificed 2,000 people without guilt and hesitation, so what about the next time?
Next time, will she sacrifice 20,000 or more people for the sake of the bigger so-called big picture?
Ambitious and ruthless, she will only bring disaster to countless people, although she is so smart and diligent in government affairs.
Is it too late to get back the throne of the Moon King now......
"You are so naïve that I am speechless, it seems that you have forgotten all the things you were taught back then. What is domination? Domination is domination, control, and control from above! Love the people like children? Do you really regard the people as your relatives and friends in your heart? When you do that, you will find that you will not be able to continue to rule at all, and your country will become a mess. ”
Sure enough, in her eyes, the people are not people who need to be loved at all, and they are just pawns for her to play, right?
No, maybe not even a pawn.
"Rule, you only think about your rule! You don't think about the people at all! As the Moon King, you don't want to make the people under your rule better, but think about murdering them......"
"Who said I don't want them to have a good life? I also want everyone in the Moon Country to live and work in peace and contentment, I hope they will live a prosperous and happy life, and I hope that this country will become stronger and stronger. ”
"Then I want to ask, in your eyes, what are the hundreds of millions of people? cattle and sheep? Ah, yes, cattle and sheep...... You want them to grow fatter, and you don't allow others to touch your cattle and sheep, and you are indeed their protector. But can you also slaughter them when you feel the need for them?"
"I didn't think about it that way......"
"No, that's what you think!" Lin Si interrupted her excitedly: "You do want the people of the Moon Kingdom to live better, but it is completely in line with your requirements and interests! What you need is just to be obedient! If they don't obey you, then what will you do?"
"What do you say, if it were you, what would you do?" Facing his extremely fierce and direct questioning, Yue Luoning just sneered and asked him back.
Lin Si said without hesitation: "I will reflect on myself, what I have not done is wrong enough, so that they will be dissatisfied with me......"
"Enough, I just found out today that you are still so naïve and naïve. If they can't even be obedient, what kind of rule can they talk about? What if they are still dissatisfied? What if you can't do it well anyway? Do you want to take the initiative to step down from the throne and let the capable people live there? You idiot!" Yue Luoning's voice became unprecedentedly sharp.
"Ha, according to what you say, even if the faint monarch makes the government and the opposition chaotic and the people are miserable, and the people can only endure it silently?
"What the hell are you in your head? Don't forget who you are and where you stand, you are a member of the royal family. Also, I didn't let the government and the opposition mess up, and the people of Yueguo and Qingchuan Qianlan didn't have a bad life, so your assumption is meaningless. ”
Lin Si was almost speechless by her refutation, he forgot, because of the different experiences and teachings since childhood, he and Yue Luoning are actually two diametrically opposed people.
When it comes to this kind of ideological and political controversy, they are destined to be incompatible.
In the end, he could only sneer and say: "Not now, who knows the future? You are a conceited person who does not tolerate any resistance, you will only think that you are always right, and when you make a big mistake, it is irreparable......
"I really can't resist, but I never thought I was always right. I am not intolerant of any voice, nor do I never listen to any opinion. You should have heard of this and seen it with your own eyes. ”
Lin Si had to admit that she was not lying, he had seen Yang Yu Du Qi and other courtiers refute Yue Luoning in person, whether it was in the main hall or in the study.
Sometimes, the ministers would even speak so fiercely that they forgot the etiquette.
And she really never got angry because of these rebuttals and transgressions, and every time she discussed them very calmly.
Sometimes, she also changes her views and practices because of this. Even, will promote courtiers who dare to speak out.
Whether a person like her is conceited or not, Lin Si really can't judge.
"But what about the people......"
Before he could finish speaking, Yue Luoning quickly asked a question that caught him off guard: "Then what do you think about how the people of the Moon Kingdom lived during the reign of our father?"
"This ......"
To be honest, this question really has to be asked to the people and ministers of the Moon Kingdom, and even the historians, perhaps most of them will say that Yueshan is a Ming Jun.
Because the truth is true, under his rule, the life of the people of the Moon Kingdom is actually much better than before he ascended the throne, there is almost no lack of food and clothing, and there is no boiling of public resentment.
The corruption and dereliction of duty in the officialdom can be regarded as being purged far better than during the reign of the previous Moon Kings. And among the people, there are far fewer incidents of adulterers bullying men and women than before.
In addition, if it weren't for the fact that Zixing, who was far stronger than the Moon Kingdom, supported the invasion of Southern Qi once, then the Moon Kingdom during his reign was actually the most powerful of the six southeastern countries.
Before the Purple Star invaded the Moon Country, the Moon Country was not afraid of the surrounding countries at all. Even the Grassland Country was beaten twice by the Moon Country, and since then it has not dared to continue to offend. As for Qingchuan Southern Qi, they also didn't dare to fight the idea of the Moon Kingdom at that time, but they had to beware of the invasion of the Moon Kingdom.
It can be said that when Yueshan was in power, the people of Yueguo were very straight.
Because of this, during the time when Liangyue ascended the throne and announced his death, there were actually countless people in the Moon Kingdom who cried bitterly because of nostalgia.
Before Lin Si could answer this question, Yue Luoning asked again, "I'll ask you again, what do you think of King Zonghan?"
Lin Si had to fall into deep thought again, King Zonghan was a king of the Yue Kingdom two hundred years ago, and Lin Si was very impressed by him.
The reason is very simple, Li Yuanhong was born in his time.
During the period of studying in the palace, Lin Si had studied the history of the Moon Kingdom, and of course he remembered some things during the reign of King Zonghan.
"He's a benevolent king, but it's a pity ......"
"What's the pity?"
"It's a pity that because of Li Yuanhong's fire array that day, he has attracted too many powerful foreign enemies, and he can't resist ......"
"But if it weren't for Li Yuanhong's Heavenly Fire Array, he would have been beaten into the hinterland by the grassland people a few years earlier, right?"
"Yes, without the Heavenly Fire Array, the Moon Country couldn't defeat the Grassland Country at that time. Lin Si nodded, when it came to war, he had enough qualifications to judge.
Li Yuanhong's battle back then, he had carefully studied. If it weren't for the accidental appearance of the Heavenly Fire Array, which burned too many grassland elites in one fell swoop, then the Moon Kingdom would actually have no chance to turn defeat into victory at all.
"So, at that time, the Moon Kingdom was actually weak, wasn't it?"
"You're right...... Not bad. At that time, the Moon Kingdom not only couldn't beat the grassland, but even Qingchuan and Southern Qi were eyeing it. ”
Tianhuo Array and Li Yuanhong, strictly speaking, cannot be regarded as the embodiment of the development of the national strength of the Moon Country, but can only be regarded as an unexpected joy.
"What was the officialdom and the people of the Moon Kingdom at that time?"
"Well, it's not good. Corruption is extremely serious, and there are even more powerful ministers, and the common people are not happy. ”
"King Zong Han is the benevolent king in your mind, whether it is for his courtiers or the people, he is very tolerant. And our father is the murderer who killed his own people in your eyes, and he is also the mean king in the eyes of the courtiers! Which of them do you think is better to be the king?"
"I ......"
This question was the first time Lin Si thought of it. And such a discovery also shocked him very much.
He didn't understand, why is this happening?
"Why can't you answer?" or don't want to answer?"
"Naturally, it's my father, but why ......?"
At this moment, Lin Si only felt that many of the things in his heart that he had been insisting on began to become shaken.
King Zonghan is obviously a generous 'good man', and his father is obviously a ruthless 'wicked man', but why did the former almost become a faint king, while the latter was a bright king?
Could it be that to be a king, do you need cold-blooded people like Yueshan and Yueluoning to do it?
"No, there are benevolent kings in the history of the countries on the mainland who are called Ming Jun, and under their rule, the same country and the people are safe......" He seems to have found a life-saving straw, and he needs to maintain his own philosophy.
"You're right, there is indeed such a Mingjun. And the reason why King Zonghan caused that kind of situation was because he favored the courtiers around him too much, and he was too generous to them, so that the court and local officialdom and the army were all rotten**, and he couldn't bear to punish the subordinates. There were too many incompetent and greedy officials, so that after many of his decrees left the palace, they could not be truly implemented, or they were distorted and reduced, and finally the people were miserable. ”
"What about Father?"
"My father can do well because he advocates strict punishment and strict law. Under his rule, whether officials or ordinary people violate the law of the moon, the end will be extremely miserable. Therefore, the decree was unimpeded, and the government, the opposition and the people were clear. ”
Lin Si thought about it for a long time, and he had to overturn the previous thought.
Yue Luoning, who is very similar to Moon Mountain in many ways, and is also more intelligent than Moon Mountain, may really make the people of Moon Country live better and make Moon Country stronger?
This conclusion made him feel unbelievable and unbelievable, because she was obviously a ruthless 'murderer'......
But this does not mean that benevolent people cannot become wise kings, because they are not necessarily stupid and gullible. It doesn't mean that ruthless people will definitely become Ming Jun, they are more likely to become tyrants, right?"
"Definitely. ”
"So I don't understand, what is the inevitable connection between killing the people of my country and making the people live well? You just said the law of the moon, I want to ask you, all the people of Shuangzeji, even if they have made trouble, according to the law of the moon, do they all deserve to die?"
"Kill those people for a longer-term purpose. As a king, you naturally need to weigh the pros and cons, and if you want to use it as an unscrupulous means, you can do that. But that really keeps the national strength from being too depleted internally, and also makes the other people of the Moon Country live better. As for you saying that you will be judged according to the law of the month, then I can only say that you don't deserve to die. ”
Yue Luoning glanced at him deeply, she knew what Lin Si was thinking in her heart.
"But you killed them, so you also violated the law of the country, right? Since even you don't obey the law of the moon, why should you ask others to obey it? When I kidnapped you to Yanjialin, you said that I was a scourge of ignoring the law of the country. Now, how do you, the Moon King, who is extremely upprotective of the law of the moon, feel now?" )
