Zhu Gaoxian and Lu Chaoyang walked on a secluded road, at this time the oblique moon was already hanging in the sky, and the stars could be vaguely seen, and the breeze lifted the willows, depressed and empty.

"After Li Xuanzhishi, find a reliable person to do him halfway." Zhu Gaoxian said.

Lu Chaoyang was stunned: "Lord Wang, don't do it." ”

After Li Xuan defected to the Qi Palace, although he had a ghost in his heart, he didn't make any big mistakes on the whole, but he just met on both sides and did nothing.

Now that Zhishi is going to retire, it doesn't make much sense to kill Li Xuan again.

"When the Han Dynasty fell, at that time, the crown prince and I were evenly matched, and both sides were absorbing the remnants of the Han Wang Party, after Li Xuan defected to me, I put him in the position of the left capital imperial history, not that I valued him much, but just used Li Xuan to appease the Han Wang Party officials who defected to me."

Zhu Gaoxian said lightly, "How many of those officials of the Han King Party who defected to me sincerely defected to me?" I don't care about these, the rules in officialdom are to take what they need, and it is impossible to expect everyone to be loyal to me, I really needed the support of these officials at that time, and I have always had a tolerant attitude towards this, and Li Xuan's position is also for these people. ”

Lu Chaoyang was puzzled: "Then why do you want to kill Li Xuan now?" ”

"Lao Lu, kill chickens and make an example of monkeys." Zhu Gaoxian sighed, "Now I don't need the support of those Han Wang Party officials so much, these people are just icing on the cake for me now." ”

Lu Chaoyang suddenly came to his senses: "Does the prince want to kill Li Xuan, so as to deter the group of Han Wang Party officials who defected to you back then?" ”

"You finally get it." Zhu Gaoxian said with a smile, "These people, on the surface, they are loyal to our Qi Wangfu, and in their hearts, they still think of the Han Wangfu in Shandong. Their abacus snapped, thinking about betting on both sides, while doing things for our Qi Wangfu, while collecting the money of the Han Wangfu, giving us the Qi Wangfu to work so that we could be promoted, and receiving the money from the Han Wangfu to get favors. After all, they all came out of the Han Palace, and they thought in their hearts that if one day my King Qi died, the King of Han would be on the throne again, and they would be able to leave a way back when the time came. ”

"These people think it's beautiful." Lu Chaoyang sneered.

Both sides are at the source, not a drop of water leaks, this end takes power, that end takes money, no one can be offended, you can turn your face at any time and deny people, and there will always be a way back behind you.

He now figured out why the prince wanted to kill Li Xuan.

As soon as Li Xuan died, he made an example of the chickens and monkeys, which was used to deter these former Han Wang Party officials who defected to the Qi Palace, which was equivalent to putting a knife on the necks of these people and forcing them to stand in line.

Your abacus crackled, and our knives sharpened.

In the end, see if your abacus is hard, or my knife is faster.

……

"The calculation is too deep, the heart is too ruthless, and the work is too desperate, if a person like Ling becomes an emperor, he will either be an emperor like Brother Zheng, or a king of the dead country like Yang Guang."

In the world of his mind, Li Shimin said with emotion.

Zhu Gaoxian chuckled lightly and said, "I don't dare to compare with Brother Zheng, as for Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, if he dies in time in the fifth year of the Great Cause, I am afraid that he will become one of the most prominent emperors in history." ”

After Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, he chose for himself the two most majestic words in the name of the ancient and modern years.

-- Great cause.

Although the Sui Dynasty has been unified, the north and the south are like organs that have just been surgically connected, and rejection reactions continue to occur.

Nearly 400 years of separation have created a clear distinction between the North and the South.

The South is economically rich, but the North is poor. The southerners thought that the northerners were all mongrels and vulgar and unliterate; The northerners regard the southerners as vanquished, cowardly and cowardly. The two places looked at each other, almost like aliens.

In fact, not many people think that the unification of the Great Sui will last long, and the subjects, accustomed to war and strife, are still subconsciously preparing for the next betrayal, coup d'état, or change of dynasty.

Yang Guang drew vigorously on the map from south to north with his fingers: in order to transform the unity of the empire from the superficial to the spiritual level, it is necessary to have a major artery connecting the north and the south, connecting the north and the south together.

Only in this way can the whole nation be refreshed and have a good bloodline.

He did two things, one was to move the capital to Luoyang, where the north and south meet, and the other was to build the Grand Canal, and it took him five years to weld the north and the south together, and welded out the national spirit of the Han people.

In the first five years of his ascension to the throne, Yang Guang was a great man.

But after the first five years, it took him another nine years to destroy the empire that he had pushed to the top with his own hands.

Li Shimin, who opened up a great empire on the corpse of the Sui Dynasty, frowned slightly: "I know Yang Guang very well, and I know you very well, in my eyes, you are very similar to him and ambitious." ”

"Yang Guang's matter, I heard you say it before." Big brother Yingzheng opened his mouth and said, "But I don't think Xiao Zhu and him are the same kind of people. ”

"What is Brother Zheng's opinion?" Li Shimin asked.

Ying Zheng coughed lightly and said: "In the eyes of the widow, although Yang Guang has great ambitions, he can't see how to go to the end of the road, and he wants to use a wooden nail to support a magnificent temple, but in the end he will only crush the wooden nail into powder." Your evaluation of Xiao Zhu is right, this kid is too calculating, too ruthless, too desperate, and has the ambition to swallow the world. But if you compare him with Yang Guang later, I don't agree, Xiao Zhu seems to be exaggerated in doing things, but in fact, he has already planned a good plan in his heart, and every time he makes a plan, he must first calculate the world's affairs, and he will only make a move when he has the chance to win. ”

Li Shimin was a little surprised: "Brother Zheng gave Xiao Zhu such a high evaluation?" ”

"He knows a hammer, if he is really so accurate in looking at people, will Daqin II die?" Bai Qi mocked mercilessly.

In the world in his mind, everyone regards Ying Zheng as a big brother and respects him very much, but he doesn't give any face to Tu Baiqi, and every time Ying Zheng speaks, he comes to dismantle the stage.

Bai Qi: It's a showdown, I'm King Qin's number one black fan.

Ying Zheng said angrily: "You really should sew your mouth shut!" ”

Rao is Yingzheng has always been good-tempered, and he can't stand Bai Qi's constant ridicule, every time he is uncovered and salted, no one can help it.

Bai Qi's three sentences do not leave the king of Qin, either scolding Yingzheng or scolding the ancestors of the Great Qin dynasties.

Li Si, who was still watching the play on the sidelines, brushed his sleeves away when he heard this.

He can't stand it either!

Fuck, isn't it recorded in the annals of history that "Wu Anjun was silent and resolute when he was young", taciturn and a bitch!

This is simply the first troll of Daqin, the mouth is like a balabala smeared with honey, and even Su Qin, the first lobbyist of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, has to bow down when he sees it!
