Chapter 221: The Past (7)

Recalling the past actions of the first emperor, Ziling couldn't help but feel irony and sadness, and also felt resentful.

Even though the first emperor has the power of the world, sits on three palaces and six courts, and seems to be shrewd, he has never truly understood the true meaning of love in this world. In the shadow of power, the first emperor believed that power and profit were the masters, who could control everything and control everything, but he only underestimated the power of the word "love" to shake people's hearts.

He ignored his master's determination to sacrifice himself for Miss Ranger, and only focused on weighing the pros and cons, and never touched his master's insistence in the slightest, nor did he try to understand the weight of this feeling, nor did he ever care about the father-son relationship with his master. As long as he has the slightest concern and consideration for his master's feelings, he can also understand that exchanging Miss Lin's life for the master's chance of survival is tantamount to directly stabbing the master's heart with a knife, how cruel and ruthless it is!

However, the ruthlessness of the first emperor is far more than that.

The memories of the past continued to erode Ziling, she clenched her fingers tightly, looking at the broken shadows and streamers, her eyes were extremely calm.

"Back then, the first emperor had a deep view of King Yong's ambitions, but King Yong had always been afraid of the first emperor, so he didn't dare to act rashly. But if the first emperor dies and the master succeeds to the throne, King Yong will definitely take action when the master's foundation is not stable and his wings are not yet growing. ”

Although she tried her best to restrain her emotions, her voice was still filled with irrepressible hatred, "The first emperor knew that King Yong was secretly antipathetic, and he also knew that the master's road ahead was full of dangers, but he never reminded the master until he was dying. ”

If it is said that the first emperor threw away the phoenix and left the dark blade to exchange his life for his life, in order to pull out the weakness of the master and continue the life of the master, then the first emperor recklessly set up this important level for the master to succeed to the throne is a well-planned chess game, and it is also the last test left by the first emperor to the master.

The first emperor's plan was originally intended to use King Yong to spur the master and promote the rapid growth of the master. In the view of the first emperor, only after going through ups and downs and many hardships can the master truly realize the preciousness of the power in his hands, gain a firm foothold in the court, and truly shoulder the burden of the country.

Although the first emperor's move was as rigid and self-serving, ruthless and strict as ever, the original intention was to pave the way for his master and think about Dongchen's future. If the first emperor didn't know about Miss Lin, he might still remind his master, or maybe he would keep his hands behind, so as to ensure that his master could successfully eradicate King Yong.

But since the first emperor learned about Miss Lin, Miss Lin has become his confidant, and his purpose has changed, and even abandoned his original intention of planning all this.

The past is surging up like a tide, and the resentment in Ziling's heart is like a turbulent wave hitting the reef on the shore, constantly echoing, difficult to settle.

Not only that, before his death, the former emperor also issued a secret edict, ordering several important ministers to put pressure on the master after his master ascended the throne, and ordered people to secretly instigate King Yong, intending to use King Yong to restrain his master. In this way, not only can the master grow up under heavy pressure, but also let the master be bound left and right, and then the master will no longer have time to take care of Miss Lin, and he can secretly attack Miss Lin unscrupulously. ”

Ziling still can't understand why the first emperor was so cruel to his only remaining bloodline, and in order to achieve his own expectations and goals, he ruthlessly forced his master into a desperate situation.

Perhaps in the eyes of the first emperor, the heirs he personally selected and cultivated should be invincible, even in adversity, he should sail against the current and cut the waves. If not, how can we talk about revitalizing Dongchen, let alone annexing Nanling, and we are not worthy of sitting on the throne of Dongchen.

But in Ziling's view, what the former emperor did was not an expectation, not an encouragement, not a coronation, but a heavy burden, an extremely cold abyss, heavy and ruthless to the point of suffocation. This is tantamount to a big gamble, and the final outcome will determine the rise and fall of the master and Dongchen.

In terms of the overall situation, the first emperor failed to soberly consider whether this move would plunge Dongchen into war and whether it would make Dongchen, which he had devoted his life to building, crumbling. This is contrary to his so-called righteousness and his concept of planning for Dongchen's future at the expense of his master's happiness, and how ridiculous it is.

As far as humanity is concerned, the first emperor has never considered his master from the standpoint of a father, and he has never realized that no matter how resourceful the master is, no matter how confident he is in the master's ability, the master is only a young man dancing with a spoon at that time. The first emperor was pressing step by step, but he had ever thought that if the master was a little careless and made a wrong step, what was waiting for the master would be an abyss from which he could never recover.

Fortunately, the master has always been meticulous, and he has seen the ambition of King Yong many years ago, and has been secretly vigilant and prepared for a rainy day, which allowed the master to save the day in the subsequent power struggle, and occupy the dominant place with his extraordinary resourcefulness.

Thinking of this, the corners of Ziling's lips couldn't help but flash a hint of sarcasm, like a breeze sweeping across the water, cutting a ripple.

What the emperor didn't expect was that the master had already seen the opportunity, and every foreshadowing he left behind was seen by the master, and the master only used more than two loads to break the situation he had set. Not only was the master not constrained by King Yong, but he also dealt with King Yong with ease, and even the timing of King Yong's army was under the master's control, and finally uprooted King Yong. And those courtiers who put pressure on their masters have long been impressed by their master's foresight and political achievements, and they have no objections. ”

Ziling's tone revealed a hint of ridicule of the first emperor, and at the same time, it was also mixed with admiration and admiration for the person in front of him.

In fact, in a sense, the bureau laid out by the first emperor was indeed quite effective, at least helping the master to control the court situation in a short period of time, and also achieving the goal that the master wanted. It's just that in this process, the master has gone through many ravines, difficulties and obstacles to get to this point, and how much painstaking planning and calculation has been made to ensure that every move is foolproof. The hardships and dedication behind this were not known to the emperor.

Ziling couldn't help but feel stupid, she really couldn't agree with the behavior of the first emperor, and she resented the first emperor's ruthlessness towards her master.

Born as a human being, the seven emotions and six desires are driven by nature. As the king of a country, the first emperor was indifferent to the feelings of human nature, how could he create a prosperous era?

It is true that the first emperor loved the country and the people with great righteousness all his life, and dedicated all his efforts to the country and his people. But at the same time, he never invested these emotions on himself and the people around him. Behind this so-called righteousness, there is also a lot of narrow-mindedness.

Even if he had worked hard for the country, even if he had worked hard to expand his territory, he simply wanted to show his ambitions and realize his ambitions. To some extent, his strategies and exploits are more like a form of self-realization than purely for the long-term interests of the country and the nation, and his actions and ideas are not comparable to the achievements of his master today.

As soon as he thought of this, the irony and sadness in Ziling's heart became more and more intense, and he couldn't help but sigh, and said abruptly: "It's a pity that the first emperor couldn't witness with his own eyes, how the master designed to overthrow the Yongwang Wang, and how he used the Yongwang as a pawn to set up a number of games within the game, which not only successfully implemented the new policy, but also uprooted the wizard clan and its minions. The first emperor never saw how the master used the iron-blooded policy to suppress the Qing and the opposition with a thunderous momentum. ”

If the first emperor knew about it, he didn't know whether he was more relieved or regretful.

In Ziling's mind, the former emperor's voice and appearance have been eroded by the years. Through the edges and corners of the years, she could only vaguely see the figure of the first emperor fading away, but behind him, it was a barrenness.
