Chapter 143 The Ant of Freedom
That's right, the reason why Yun Chu will puncture the Yellow River ice incident, one is so that the people on both sides of the Yellow River do not suffer, once the Yellow River really begins to flood in winter, it will definitely kill many people, the Yellow River flooding in summer and autumn, after taking away people's homes, people can still live in the wilderness for a period of time, and will not die immediately.
If the Yellow River floods in winter, even if the flood momentum is not as great as the Yellow River flood in summer and autumn, God knows how many people will die because of the severe cold.
The people on both sides of the Yellow River are not as wealthy as the people of Chang'an, and after losing the only house that can protect them from the cold, death will be the main theme of this disaster.
The second is to let Li Hong participate in the emperor's huge and cruel plan as a matter of course.
In the emperor's whole plan, he may have considered all aspects of the matter, but the only thing he did not consider was the brake plan.
The so-called brake plan, in fact, was a very common thing in the era before the beginning of the cloud, as long as a huge plan was about to be implemented, there would always be a package of plans about the sudden crisis or failure in the implementation of the plan.
In this way, even if you really fail, you can deal with the consequences of failure step by step, so as not to expand the consequences of failure because of the panic caused by failure.
In Yun Chu's opinion, Xiang Yu just didn't know how to establish this kind of system, which led to winning a hundred wars, and finally losing only one, and ending up with a broken body.
Similarly, Cao Cao did not make such a plan to deal with the worst outcome during the Battle of Chibi, so after the defeat of the First Battle of Chibi, the losses caused were far greater than those with such a plan.
Liu Bei is the same, after being burned down for 800 miles in the Battle of Yiling, since then, Shu Han has turned from strong to weak, and there is no longer the capital to compete with Cao Wei for the world.
This kind of example is abundant in the history books, and many people's great achievements have been formedβa historical spectacle of its rise and prosperity, and its demise also sudden.
Li Zhi's plan is cruel and contrary to human nature, even if such a plan is successful, it will leave endless troubles, in Yun Chu's view, if there is no remedy afterwards, even if the land of Shandong and Hebei is pacified, and the hearts of the people in the two places are temporarily bought, it is destined not to last long.
Li Hong is the brake plan that Yun Chu prepared for Li Zhi.
The emperor is tyrannical and impermanent, and he can give an order, ambush millions of corpses, and bleed and pestle, the question is, is it over?
At this time, in the Tang Dynasty, there should be a person who acts as a buffer ground, and this person can only be the crown prince Li Hong.
Under Li Zhi's extreme terror, Li Hong should stand up and form a bright spot, this light can give everyone a little breathing room, and it can be hoped that this light will eventually become the sun that shines on the earth.
As long as Li Zhi is alive, the people of Shandong and Hebei will not be able to move closer to the Tang Central Committee wholeheartedly, after all, the wishes and hatred of the two parties are really unclear.
Li Hong: Yes.
Therefore, Yun Chu needs to create a righteous and bright entry point for Li Hong, and those thieves who are ready to blow up the ice and create Lingxin to flood both sides of the Yellow River are the best point.
On the third day, Li Hong began to dispatch troops, and after changing into civilian clothes, the soldiers and horses belonging to the East Palace left the barracks in groups.
After reading it gently, he said: "Defense, attack is grasping with both hands, and both hands are hard, it seems that this young man is still very confident, however, he also invited the people of the Baiqi Division to start collecting the roster of green forest heroes on both sides of the Yellow River, which I didn't expect, you say, how did he, a prince who grew up in the deep palace, know that there is such a group of green forest heroes in this world?" β
Yun Chu said: "I have seen it in the prison of Wannian County, and I am very interested in these people, for a while, I like to go into the prison and chat with those thieves who sit on the ground to share the spoils or fly the eaves and walk on the wall, if those people tell the story well, they can get a piece of meat, so during that period of time, this child felt that it was much more interesting to be a master of the underworld who sat on the ground and shared the spoils and ordered thousands of heroes in the green forest than to be a prince or something."
It was only after I was severely beaten by the martial arts I tried under the pretext that I extinguished this idea. β
Di Renjie laughed and said: "I'm still looking forward to the scene where my Tang Dynasty appears, my father is the emperor, and my son is the thief." β
Gently waved his hand and said: "The current green forest heroes have no discipline, it is estimated that the prince sent someone to say, these people should bow their heads and charge for him, with the help of such a group of people, he used people to line up in two columns of human walls, and it is estimated that they can fill the bank of the river for two hundred and fifty miles."
Those who want to blow up the river probably don't have any chance. β
Yun Chu immediately said to Di Renjie; "When the prince has used these thieves and Jiangyang thieves, it's time for you, the Dali Temple, to go out. Just catch them all, they are all thieves, so don't talk about any superfluous friendship. β
Said gently: "That's true, he is a Jiangyang thief, he is a person who has done all the evil things, even if he repents on the surface, his heart is still black, just because he admires the power of the prince and wants to change from black to white, if these people are allowed to become white, what else do you need to do with the court law." β
Di Renjie said: "Then let's say it, when the time comes, the heinous guys will be beheaded, the ones who are not guilty of death will be sent to Longyou Tunken, and the minor crimes will be left to the prince to be favored and establish a reputation for benevolence." β
Just as the three of them were talking, Li Hong came over with his empty rice basin, and when he saw that there were noodles in the big basin on the table, he scooped up a pot for himself with chopsticks, added chili peppers, added vinegar, and made a spoonful of noodles, and finally took two cloves of garlic and held them in his hands, and without speaking, he began to eat noodles with snoring.
After a basin of noodles, seeing that the three masters were looking at him, he threw the remaining half of the garlic into his mouth, picked up the basin and drank all the soup inside, patted his belly and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten so happily." β
Yun Chu said: "As a prince, you still have to pay attention to your appearance, words and deeds." β
Li Hong nodded and said: "In the past few days, a lot of irrelevant people will come to Zhengzhou, and they asked the master to make way for them, but before others came in, they were killed by the government soldiers." β
Yun Chu said: "This kind of person can only be used for a while, not for a long time, if you have more people like this, it will affect the rest of your East Palace, this must be paid attention to, if you can use good people, try not to use people with bad deeds." β
Li Hong was stunned for a moment and said softly: "Most of the people under Emperor Taizong's command at that time were people with bad deeds, like Liu Hongji, ......"
Yun Chu didn't wait for Li Hong to finish speaking, and said, "This is one of the reasons why Emperor Gaozu doesn't like Emperor Taizong. β
"However, Emperor Taizong is not ......"
"So, are you ready to pay the price that Emperor Taizong paid?"
Li Hong thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's better for me to take the right path." β
Yun Chu sneered: "If you want your Li family to pass on all the time, it's best to change your Li family's bloody upper habits, although it doesn't look so magnificent to take the right path, so heroic, but as a prince, if you can get less blood on your hands, try to get as little blood as possible." β
Li Hong muttered, "Master, you used to allow your disciples to finish their words. β
Yun Chu said: "You used to speak, how nice it sounded, now, as long as you have a mouth, you will be full of calculations, it's better not to say it." β
Li Hong clicked his mouth and said, "I have been with my master Xu Jingzong for a long time, and I have developed some bad problems. β
Yun Chu said: "Push the responsibility on others at every turn, if Xu Jingzong listens to you say this, how sad a person who is eighty years old and is still worrying about you should be." β
Li Hong hugged the rice bowl and said unhappily: "The disciple thinks that you don't like me now, and you like Sisi instead." β
Yun Chu sighed and said, "The prince's responsibilities are too great, and the tolerance for making mistakes is small. β
Li Hong nodded and said, "Yes, everyone says that I want to have the appearance of a prince, but, Master, what should a prince look like a real prince?" β
Yun Chu took the rice bowl in Li Hong's hand, filled him with half a basin of noodles, looked at Li Hong with disdain, and said: "I have never been a prince, how do I know." β
Li Hong took the basin, put it in front of him, filled it with a lot of spicy seeds, and vinegar, and after taking a big bite, he looked up and said to Yun Chu: "Since there is no model of the prince, then, take me as a model in the future." β
Yun Chu put the two cloves of peeled garlic in Li Hong's hand and said: "Deal with the matter in front of you first, insert your hand into Shandong, Hebei and then talk about it, this Shandong, Hebei will be the foundation for you to ascend to the throne without dispute."
You will also become the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty to ascend to the throne in line with everyone's expectations. β
Li Hong lowered his head and ate the noodles, stopped talking, and after eating the noodles, he said to Yun Chu and Di Renjie: "I haven't slept well for two days, I'll go and sleep." β
Gently looked at Li Hong's back and said to Yun Chu: "There is no change." β
Di Renjie also followed: "Just say what you think in your heart, he is still the closest to you." β
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "What I think in my heart, what I think in my chest, will need to be realized through him in the future, if I haven't established a mutual trust with him, I would have been an idle cloud and wild crane a long time ago, who has the patience to drag his tail in this rotten quagmire." β
Sighed softly and said: "If a person wants to do something, the right time, place and people are really indispensable." β
Di Renjie said: "Even if the time, place and people are all right, they may not be able to do one thing well." β
Yun Chu smiled: "Don't be so pessimistic, we can do things with a smile, if you don't have a happy face, then don't do it, nothing is as important as being happy."
As for the great things, there are always people to do them, and it doesn't have to be us.
In this world, everyone will continue to move forward, don't take ourselves too seriously, under the sky, we are all ants. β
