In a large hall where no one else was.

Envoys from all over the world gathered here.

said that they were envoys, but in fact they were all former emperors of various countries.

It is true that he abdicated and made way for Xian, but this does not mean that the power will be transferred to the hands of the new emperor instantly, it is nothing more than a change of person on the dragon chair, but if you want to really control the temple, you can't just sit on the dragon chair.

It is a bit too much to say that the soup is changed without changing the medicine, but the impact is bound to be not as big as imagined.

A courtier without trust, a minister who faithfully executes orders, and a powerful emperor who can exert influence on the interests of all parties in the court are just a puppet.

It's not so easy to be a good emperor.

Emperor Zongming, who has been scolded in this regard, has reached the pinnacle, but he just doesn't do anything.

To a large extent, these few people who came to the Xia Dynasty still had an extremely crucial influence on their own country.

"We've done as he asked, and we've even sent protons, so why don't we even meet in person?"

The face of the previous emperor of Da Yue was full of gloom.

As the weakest of several countries, he was the last to patronize, and he didn't even have the slightest decent resistance - there were only two grandmasters left in Da Yue, and he wanted to touch the grandmaster?

That's ridiculous.

But it is precisely because of this that the trip to Dayue was the most uneventful, after seeing Gu Dan, Grandmaster Dayue only took Gu Dan a palm, and then simply decided to give up resistance.

As the saying goes, there is a blessing in disguise, because the big one is weak enough, and the grandmaster is few enough, but the damage is the least, even if it needs to be divided into a few percent of the treasury storage, the number is much less.

If you consider it in terms of losses, Da Yue is by no means the worst one.

When it comes to the loss of materials, it is definitely the most unlucky for Daqi.

And when it comes to the disappointment of the grandmaster, Dayong also has something to say.

It can be seen that sometimes it is not an acceptable good thing to be a little weaker.

It is precisely because of this that he has great expectations for this trip to the Xia Dynasty, and even prefers to send one of the already small Protector Grandmasters to the Xia Dynasty, just to not be weaker than the rest of the countries.

The plan in his heart is nothing more than to curry favor with the person behind the Xia Dynasty, and not to ask for any privileges for Da Yue, which he still has in his heart, and only asks the Xia Dynasty not to change the words he said when the country was founded.

Pursue the morality of Mohistism!

That's what he values most.

There are many aspects covered by the Ten Meanings of Mohist, and the one he appreciates the most is the word "non-attack"!

Neither attacking nor not attacking, but not doing an unrighteous war.

Although righteousness and injustice are not up to you, but with this reason, it's not good to turn your face directly and suppress Dayue with your backhand, right?

The four countries cut the moon, Dayue almost didn't get anything, but it was a perennial war that never stopped, which greatly increased the burden on Dayue, if they could win all the time, it would be good to divide up the wealth of Dayue, the problem is that the final result of this war is that they lost. also had to compensate the Xia Dynasty, which led to the fact that his own internal affairs were almost erosive.

If there is no time to recuperate, the foxes in Dayue should also bark, and maybe a few more stone figures can be salvaged from the river.

In the face of this situation, he did not feel sorry for himself, after resigning from the position of emperor, he went into battle in person, just to see Gu Dan again, not to ask for any promises, even to make himself feel at ease, in case he can get some assurance or unexpected joy, it is naturally a good thing.

As soon as he came over, he found that the rest of the countries were the same as he thought!

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, where do they need someone to dial them?

Everyone knows very well in their hearts that as long as that person has not died of old age, or if there is no strong person who can surpass the grandmaster level in various countries, then the era of the world in the future will definitely be the era of the Xia Dynasty!

Don't look at Wang Mang now that he seems to be a little stretched, and even has to be scolded, but the difference is nothing more than some sufficient talents who can manage the Quartet!

As long as we wait a few more years and select officials with the right talents, the whole country will inevitably take on a new look, and at that time, if Shikoku wants to come over and join in the fun, it will be a hot face and a cold ass.

The congratulatory gifts sent by the four countries were quite generous, and the former monarch visited in person, and in a reasonable way, they were all respectful, so why didn't they even meet each other?

This really makes people's hearts unstable, and the weakest Dayue is also the most frightened.

Although their territory is small, their conditions are poor! Though they have not much wealth, their people are poor! Although they are a defeated country, they have also sent a grandmaster!

If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, do you still want Da Yue to kneel down directly and ask for it?

If it works, it's not impossible

"Those people think differently than we do. Everything in the mundane world is probably nothing worthy of his pursuit, so don't treat others as your own. ”

The previous emperor of Dayong was quite calm, and after witnessing Gu Dan's secret and unannounced killing of Dayong easily, he had no spirit of resistance.

Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to correct the opponent's attitude by force, and since this is the case, then we have to correct our own attitude.

When you are a superior person, others need to do everything possible to figure out your attitude, raise your eyebrows, hook your lips, and you can interpret thousands of meanings.

But when you are a subordinate, you must change your mentality to figure out what others mean.

"That's true!"

The former emperor of Daqing also nodded again and again, quite agreeing with these words.

When it comes to the contradiction with the previous Da Yue, several countries have to go back a little, and Da Qing is the one who offends him the most.

But the royal family of Daqing has not been completely liquidated by Gu Bao, and even the punishment is not much different from that of other countries, it is a complete bowl of water, and it is not because of the previous hatred, the people of Daqing are not happy.

Judging from this courage and open-mindedness alone, the other party is by no means the kind of person who wants to kill them all and kill the whole family at every turn.

has never been unforgiving by force, and has to be admired, and even dare not disobey.

Benevolence, righteousness and morality, these four words are easy to say, anyone can hang on their lips, but how difficult is it to practice?

That man did it, so they were very convinced, whether they were intimidated by force or not, they all showed their greatest sincerity.

If the other party was a person who was desperate to kill, what greeted the Xia Dynasty at this time was by no means a well-prepared gift, but an army of countless people who were forced to fight to the death.

Gu Dan didn't fish with all his might, and they didn't fish and break the net, which is good for everyone.

"I'm a layman."

The former emperor of Dayue said helplessly: "I really can't figure out the heart of such a master. ”

If you have been poor for a long time, you will inevitably be a little childish.

To put it simply, I understand the truth, can you give me an accurate word?

It's also so reassuring!

"What's there to figure out? You are not familiar with the Grandmaster, you are not familiar with the Grandmaster? ”

The former emperor of Dayong shrugged his shoulders slightly, "Think about what most of the grandmasters are like, it's pretty much the same." ”

As soon as these words came out, the former emperor of Dayue was stunned.

What does a Grandmaster look like?

Naturally, there is no need to talk about force.

If you put down your force, what will most of the grandmasters actually look like?

As the most powerful emperor in the past, the Grandmaster is not an unattainable existence, and they know a lot.

When personal force has reached the peak of the earthly world, and there is no way out for the rest of their lives, what else can these people do?

The choice of most grandmasters is to constantly indulge their desires.

For example, taking hundreds of thousands of concubines, such as playing the world for thirty years, such as pursuing the innate realm that has no trace, such as raising the anti-flag in a country that is about to collapse, such as creating a doctrine to uphold morality in the heart.

These are personal desires, and of course, the nobler ones can also be called ideals.

The road cannot come to an end, which is a kind of sadness for many people; And the road has come to an end, and there is no road ahead, isn't it another kind of sorrow?

Not even less than the former.

This is the case with the grandmasters who are at the pinnacle of the world.

This is also the path that most grandmasters will choose, most of them have been able to do things with the will of their hearts, no matter whether they can do it or not, you just say whether you can do it or not!

Other than that, most of the grandmasters are actually very lonely.

Yes, loneliness.

Only in the face of people of the same generation, and even strong people of the same level, can you have a high level of conversation.

One hundred and twenty-year-old Shou Yuan, it doesn't seem like much.

But in such an era, how many people can live past the age of seventy?

Real ordinary people, even if they have not faced any natural and man-made disasters and the collapse of the world, but the extremely heavy labor has already deprived them of their vitality, and being able to live past the age of forty is considered a kind of high life.

And if you want to become a grandmaster, even if you climb the path of martial arts from the beginning, it will be impossible without thirty or forty years!

Moqiu, known as a natural saint, only began to become famous in the world after he was forty years old.

For many Grandmasters, it will only be later.

By the time they become grandmasters, there will probably be only a few contemporaries left.

When you reach the peak, or even when your body is in a 'young' state compared to Shouyuan, one thing you have to face is to see the familiar faces of the people around you gradually aging.

After they are truly familiar with and accustomed to the strength of the Grandmaster, how many people will be able to accompany them?

It's not that the grandmaster is ruthless and willing to be lonely, but after experiencing this firsthand, many people will watch it.

If you are not a contemporary, what else is there to deal with?

After a few years, more than ten years, people may be gone.

After going through it a few more times, even the originally enthusiastic grandmaster will gradually lose that enthusiasm, so that it seems a little isolated and inconspicuous to outsiders.

If the grandmaster also needs to be branded with some imprints, then in addition to strength, loneliness is undoubtedly one of the biggest imprints.

"You mean that when the familiar people of the existence are gone, he may not stay in Otsuki. Don't stay in the Xia Dynasty anymore? ”

The former emperor of Dayong was a little puzzled, "But what does that have to do with us?" Will we survive until then? ”

Indeed, in addition to taking care of old age, or there are strong people at the same level in the country to resist, there is also a possibility that they will leave on their own.

But before that, he has to wait until all the people he knows are old, and there is nothing to be nostalgic about.

Don't talk about anything else, just say that the current Xia Huang is just in his early thirties, which is still far from old age, and he can definitely live better than them.

What are you going to do in the intervening decades?

You can't expect the other party to wave your hand tomorrow, pat your ass and leave, and never come back again, right?

I can't dream of doing this!

"Don't think too highly of yourself. Is it possible that what he means is that to that being, we are no different from ordinary people? He doesn't pay as much attention to us as you think, so he doesn't need to explain anything to you. ”

The prayer dragon, who had not spoken, finally spoke, but what he said was not at all flattering.

Because of Gu Dan's attitude of reluctance to show in front of others, when he mentions others, he uses a pronoun instead of a name, and the people who can discuss it with each other anyway know who he is talking about.

The prayer dragon who has been ruthlessly educated by Gu Dan once is the most calm one.

At least he believed most that Gu Dan would not be treacherous, otherwise why would he say those words when he was in the Great Prayer Palace before?

"It is enough to manage the country well, respect the Mohist way, let the people live better, and do their own things well. If he doesn't come to us, it means that he hasn't changed his mind. If you do come, it's not necessarily a good thing. ”

Prayer Dragon said.

"Huh."

The former emperor of Dayue also sneered.

Da Qi family has a big cause, can withstand toss, and has enough confidence, but Da Yue doesn't have it!

Countries are different, not conspiring with each other!

Da Qi didn't want to see that person again, Da Yue thought about it very much, not to mention that he was spineless, and it was not impossible to be dignified.

The atmosphere was a bit deadlocked, and the eunuch who stayed outside the door of the main hall shouted loudly: "Emperor Xia has arrived~"

A call finally broke the already frozen atmosphere.

Several envoys adjusted their facial expressions, and the previously slightly unhappy atmosphere vanished, and everyone had different smiles on their faces.

Not to say that it is amiable, at least it will not show the appearance of being unapproachable.

It didn't take long for Wang Mang's steady footsteps to come from far and near, and he stepped into the palace, holding a package in his palm.

"How many are there? That would be great. ”

Seeing a few people, Wang Mang didn't care about his demeanor at all, as if he was a particularly familiar friend, and said enthusiastically.

"Dare to ask Emperor Xia, but what do you need help with? But there is a need, and I have nothing to do. ”

Before anyone else spoke, the former Emperor Dayong took the lead in speaking, and the main thing was that he was wealthy.

A country that has continued from the calamity of the grandmaster to the present, although it has always been inconspicuous, the wealth inside is also extremely amazing, not inferior to Daqi at all, and even surpassed.

If you can level the Xia Dynasty just by giving something in exchange for the stability of Dayong, it will not be distressing, and you can't even wait.

"No, no, no."

Upon hearing this, Wang Mang shook his head again and again, but instead of nodding in agreement, he said solemnly: "At the beginning of the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, you have already sent a rich gift on behalf of various countries, and the Xia Dynasty prides itself on being a state of etiquette, how can you do what you ask for again?" As the saying goes, come and don't be rude. You can't just prepare gifts for the Xia Dynasty, the Xia Dynasty also has gifts to give, not inferior to you! ”

"Gifts?"

Several previous emperors looked at each other.

What gifts can the Xia Dynasty, which has just been established, have? I dare to say that it is not inferior to the great gift they have carefully prepared!

Even the supplies were sent by them, and even now there are a large number of people in various countries still in Yuzhou to help deal with the impact caused by the bursting of the source river.

In addition to the two aspects of materials and manpower, what other gifts can make Emperor Xia so proud, and even dare to say that they are not inferior to them?

You can't be prepared to cede a state to a country, can you?

I don't dare to ask for it!

Throwing away the messy thoughts in their minds, several people have already made up their minds.

The other party takes out a goose feather, and then divides the goose feather into several petals, and gives it away, and he will definitely nod and say satisfied.

The other party of the province uses other excuses to find trouble.

In front of everyone's eyes, Wang Mang lifted the package and gently lifted a corner, revealing what was hidden inside.

Inside, they are almost milky white. Pills?

Several people looked at each other.

What age do you still send pills?

When we don't know that Emperor Zong Ming has been pitted by Fang Shi for more than 20 years, right?

And looking at the amount of that pill, it's a bit too much.

Scarcity is expensive, and it can be seen that those pills are by no means a good thing.

Even if you want to be perfunctory, you don't have to use the things of the big moon to mock us!

Could it be that we want to use this way to remind us not to think about those messy things, not to vainly seek immortals and ask, beyond the Xia Dynasty?

There were different thoughts in their hearts, and several people stood for a moment.

immediately reacted, and praised dryly: "Good thing, Emperor Xia has a heart!" ”
