"Your Majesty, it's been a long time. ”

Ning Que stood in front of Yang Guang and said with a faint smile.

Yang Guang looked at Ning Que with a complicated face, and to this day, he had long known that the famous evil king in front of him was his former minister Pei Ju.

It should be said that Pei Ju is a vest of this evil king.

When he first learned the truth, he was also shocked.

Who would have thought that a dignified demon giant would change his vest and infiltrate the court as an important minister of the court. What's even more incredible is that it has also made brilliant achievements that are enough to go down in history.

Unexpectedly, without a single soldier of the imperial court, he relied on his own strength to let the extremely powerful steppe power Turks split into the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks.

And let these two forces fall into endless civil wars, and then in one fell swoop reversed the situation that the Central Plains had been weak in the face of the grassland forces since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

For a time, Yang Guang thought that Pei Juhui would be his own ovary, and he would assist him in governing the world, conquering all directions, and making meritorious achievements for all generations.

But he didn't expect that his important minister Pei Ju would actually be the vest of the evil king of the Demon Gate. And so it all came to rest.

"I and Pei Aiqing have really not been able to do it for a long time. Yang Guang sighed, and suddenly said to the guards not far away, "Prepare delicious wine and food, I want to talk about the world with Pei Aiqing today and drink three glasses!"

Soon the wine and food were ready, Yang Guang invited Ning Que to dine together, and Ning Que happily sat down.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two have not talked.

In fact, Ning Que has also been thinking about Yang Guang.

Most of the epic classics of later generations defined Yang Guang as a "faint monarch" and "tyrant", and wrote him as a king who was desolate and mediocre and ruined the country: he killed his brother and killed Zhongliang; he traveled extravagantly and extravagantly; he used the people's power indiscriminately throughout his life, and requisitioned tens of millions of people, and the people were not able to make a living.

But now in this world, Ning Que, who has inherited the memory of Shi Zhixuan, who has personally worked with Yang Guang, knows that this evaluation is incomplete.

Very few people know the other side of Yang Guang, he pacified the Chen Dynasty and unified the world; he built the eastern capital and moved the capital to Luoyang; he built the Grand Canal to connect the north and south, which benefited the future generations; he expanded the territory, pacified Tuyuhun and opened the Silk Road, forcing the Turks to split; he pioneered the imperial examination, attached importance to education, and more importantly, broke the monopoly of the family lords on knowledge. In addition, his poems are even more unique, and have been praised by famous artists throughout the ages.

Yang Guang's biggest failure is that he is too eager for quick success and too conceited, he wants to complete it in more than ten years, and other emperors can't complete it in their lifetime, how can this not fail?

Moreover, he is indeed not compassionate enough for the people, his eagerness to achieve results, his lack of compassion for the people, exhausted the national strength, and left hundreds of people hungry and displaced, which has led to the crumbling of the world today.

Therefore, Yang Guang is a very complicated person, with all merits and demerits, which may be described in one sentence: "His sins are also manifested, and his merits are also outstanding! The disadvantages are in the present generation, and the benefits are in the future!"

Ning Que had no intention of whitewashing Yang Guang, this was just the true thoughts in his heart after reading Shi Zhixuan's memory.

"Pei Aiqing, now everyone in the world says that I am a faint king, do you say that I am really a useless faint king?"

Yang Guang suddenly put down his wine glass, stared at Ning Que and asked, he didn't call Ning Que "Evil King" or "Shi Zhixuan", but still regarded Ning Que as his important minister Pei Ju.

"The faint king may be right!"

Ning Que took a sip of wine and smiled slightly.

When Yang Guang heard this, his eyes darkened slightly, and he muttered to himself in a somewhat distracted manner: "Yes, the beautiful splendid rivers and mountains have made me the current state of boiling grievances and people displaced everywhere, I am not a faint king, who is a faint king?"

At this moment, he heard Ning Que's words again.

"After all, this country is corrupted in the hands of Your Majesty, so it is not wrong to say that Your Majesty is a faint king...... However, if His Majesty is useless, it may not be.

His Majesty commanded troops to pacify the Chen Dynasty, built the Grand Canal connecting the north and south, operated the Western Regions, supported us to split the Turks, established the imperial examination system, and broke the monopoly of knowledge by the family lords...... These are the merits of His Majesty. Some merits, no matter how smeared by the world and future generations, are indisputable facts.

Your Majesty's life may be described as 'the disadvantages are in the present and the advantages are in the future'. ”

Hearing Ning Que's words, Yang Guang's distracted gaze suddenly burst out, as if he had lost his soul, and kept repeating in his mouth, "The disadvantages are in the present generation, and the benefits are in the future", and then he stood up and yelled like crazy.

"Well, that's a good point! I'm not a good-for-nothing dumb king, and I also contribute to this world......

Maybe Yang Guang has been suppressed for too long, and at this moment he is like a madman, constantly shouting at the sky until his voice is almost hoarse.

After a long time, he gradually calmed down and sat down opposite Ning Que again.

"I just lost my temper, but it made Aiqing laugh. ”

Yang Guang said apologetically.

"Understood!"

Ning Que waved his hand, signaling that Yang Guang didn't have to take it to heart.

At this time, Yang Guang suddenly stared at Ning Que, and said with a solemn expression: "Aiqing, as the evil king of the Demon Gate, is now the ruler of the entire Demon Gate, and the power under his control is huge, I am afraid that it has surpassed Cihang Jingzhai and the Four Great Gate Valves, I don't know if Aiqing has any thoughts about this world?"

Ning Que was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at Yang Guang with some surprise.

Of course he has ideas about the world.

When he came to the palace this time, he was originally planning to control Yang Guang through the life and death talisman, and use Yang Guang when he was still the emperor to provide the most favorable support and assistance for his great cause of hegemony.

Otherwise, I should really be bored and come to Yang Guang for tea!

But he didn't expect that Yang Guang would take the initiative to bring up this topic.

"Looking at Aiqing's appearance, it seems that Aiqing does have ideas about this world. In this way, it is better to hand over the world to Aiqing, than to hand over the world to Li Yuan, the white-eyed wolf, and the group of prostitutes in Cihang Jingzhai. ”

Yang Guang muttered to himself.

"I heard that Cihang Jingzhai once supported the establishment of the imperial dynasty by the previous emperor, why didn't Your Majesty ask for help from Cihang Jingzhai at this time? Maybe they will continue to support you! If you have their support, maybe Your Majesty still has hope of reorganizing the country. ”

Ning Que asked curiously.

When Yang Guang heard this, he smiled coldly, and seemed to be very disdainful of Cihang Jingzhai: "A group of arrogant and mercenary prostitutes. When the first emperor established the dynasty, they did make a lot of efforts. However, how many benefits did the emperor give to Buddhism? Otherwise, how could Buddhism be as prosperous as it is today?

It's just that this group of prostitutes is not satisfied, and they have been asking for more benefits for Buddhism.

The most hateful thing is that they have always controlled He's Bi in the past, and they have always refused to hand over He's Bi to the imperial court, which is obviously a wolf's ambition and a vain attempt to always hold the power of the 'Chosen Emperor'.

Only, who are they, and how can they say that they represent all the people of the world?

If it weren't for the right time, I would have sent an army of 100,000 to wipe them out.

If you want me to bow my head and beg them, even if I die, I can't do it. Not to mention, even if they begged, it was useless, and those prostitutes had already chosen Li Valve. ”

Yang Guang said with hatred, and in his words, he was full of bitter hatred for Cihang Jingzhai.

At this time, he looked up at Ning Que again: "Aiqing, I can help you to the greatest extent while I am still in power, whether it is fame or resources...... But I have a request, I hope that after Aiqing wins the country, he can treat the people of my Yang family well. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Your Majesty treated me well back then, and I will be the emperor one day, and I will treat Your Majesty's family well. Ning Que promised.

To be honest, being able to get Yang Guang's wholehearted support is better than the effect of forcibly controlling Yang Guang, so Ning Que did not hesitate to give his promise.

Of course, he didn't deceive Yang Guang.

If he can really succeed in ascending the throne as emperor, he will indeed not treat Yang Guang's family badly, let alone fear Yang Guang's family revenge...... Because for him, he doesn't care how long this country can last, he only cares about how many potential points he can harvest after he ascends the throne as emperor.

Of course, although he reached a deal with Yang Guang, Ning Que couldn't trust anyone, especially an emperor.

Therefore, he secretly took advantage of Yang Guang's tea just now to silently punch a life and death talisman containing a miniature demon seed into Yang Guang's body.

In this way, whether Yang Guang is sincere or fake, it is all under his control.
