"I hope so!" Guo Wei sighed lightly and said meaningfully, "This Central Plains can no longer withstand the toss." ”

Li Fengyun was uneasy in his heart, and asked, "Brother Guo, why are you asking like this?"

Guo Wei glanced at Li Fengyun a few times and said, "With your temperament, you suddenly flattered Your Majesty in every way, if you don't have other plans, my brother won't believe it." Was this what you did to the emperor at the beginning? This is not the Li Fengyun in my brother's impression.

Moreover, what do you suddenly say that all men are created equal, and what do you mean?"

Li Fengyun had a sudden break in his heart, he didn't expect him to leave such a big flaw on this trip, but Guo Wei didn't know that what he was trying to do was not the position on the Jinluan Palace in Kaifeng, but another kind of world.

Guo Wei is shrewd and can see it, but it is difficult to guarantee that Liu Zhiyuan can't see it. In this way, Liu Zhiyuan used high-ranking officials to appease him, and he may not have murderous intentions towards him, but now that the world is at the beginning of peace, there are many princes in the world who disobey him, Li Fengyun took the initiative to surrender, Liu Zhiyuan can't help but set an example for the princes of the world, and he doesn't dare to attack him easily. There is only one throne, which emperor can have sand in his eyes?

With a long sigh, Li Fengyun asked: "Now the situation is different, Your Majesty is no longer the handsome man in Xinzhou at the beginning, how dare I be as presumptuous as I was at the beginning? Brother Guo, are you still treating Your Majesty as you did back then?"

Guo Wei was stunned for a moment, Li Fengyun said well, since Liu Zhiyuan ascended the throne and became the emperor, his relationship with Liu Zhiyuan has been very different. Liu Zhiyuan's trust in him is far less than before, many times, Liu Zhiyuan prefers to listen to good words, and he is no longer as good as he used to be to listen to his advice.

Not only that, but the old brothers in the army who used to depend on each other for life and death have also changed a lot, and they have a lot of life. Many brothers, relying on the dragon's merits and military exploits, are domineering and unscrupulous, often making the people's resentment boiling, and finally he had to come forward to deal with it, and several times he and several old brothers made their faces red and their necks thick.

Thinking of this, Guo Wei's expression couldn't help but darken. He once thought that Shi Chonggui was mediocre, and Liu Zhiyuan took advantage of the opportunity of the Khitan to attack Kaifeng and replace it, and after driving out the Khitans, there must be a new atmosphere in the world. But now that the Khitan has withdrawn from the Central Plains, where is the new atmosphere? In the north and south of the Yellow River, the people are still struggling to make a living, and the veterans of the Hedong Army are acting recklessly and recklessly, but Liu Zhiyuan refuses to open his mouth to reproach them. In contrast, the situation of the common people in the Central Plains did not improve in the slightest, but became more and more difficult because of the wanton conquest and extortion of the generals. In the long run, it is difficult to guarantee that Guo Wei worked hard for Liu Zhiyuan to lay the foundation for Liu Zhiyuan, and the Tang Dynasty did not return.

If this is really the case, why did he Guo Wei fight for half his life? Is it just to help Liu Zhiyuan ascend to the throne?

Thinking of this, Guo Wei felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

No, the founding of the country was difficult, when Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty ruled the Central Plains, wasn't it the same that he couldn't even get together four horses of the same color? The generals under his command were also domineering, and even used knives to cut the pillars on the main hall during the court meeting. But after a few decades, hasn't he also established a glorious Han dynasty? How can His Majesty be worse than that scoundrel?

"What do you mean, Your Majesty is not a generation of Ming Jun?" Guo Wei's eyes were like swords, and he pressed towards Li Fengyun tightly, "In other words, in the future, my brother's career in this life is nothing more than to establish a peaceful and prosperous era and reproduce the elegance of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and my brother will not allow any, including you, to destroy all this." ”

Li Fengyun smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "I have no doubt that Your Majesty is a generation of Ming monarchs, Your Majesty has come out of the war, how can he not know the suffering of the people?

If the elder brother still handles the relationship with His Majesty as he did at the beginning, I am afraid that sooner or later he will suffer a great loss. ”

"Then what do you mean by 'all men are equal', don't you know that the monarchs of heaven and earth, the kings and ministers, the fathers and sons, the three outlines and the five constants? Brother knows, you must have a deep meaning, don't use words to perfunctory me!" Guo Wei took the sharp gaze and said slowly, "Brother Li, don't worry, what you said today will come out of your mouth and into my ears, and my brother will not mention it to others again, you say, what does it mean?"

Li Fengyun looked at this veteran who had fought for many years, and knew that Guo Wei was delicate, and if he didn't tell him the truth, I was afraid that he would be even more suspicious. Moreover, he also believes that Guo Wei is not the kind of villain who snitches behind his back.

"Brother Guo, if I say that I really don't have the ambition to be an emperor, do you believe it?" Li Fengyun looked into Guo Wei's eyes and asked.

After a long time, Guo Wei said: "Brother believes that you have no ambition, you are a lazy person, and you don't even bother to take care of your own subordinates, how can you have the heart to deal with those complicated state affairs?

Brother Li, as long as you and I join hands to assist Your Majesty, it will not be difficult to make the world prosperous. Your Majesty is not a person who forgets his roots, and when the time comes, the glory and wealth will naturally be less than you!"

Li Fengyun shook his head and said, "No one has bewitched me, on the contrary, it may be that I have bewitched them."

I just thought, in my life, I can't wait for death to be wasted, I should do something meaningful. And what I'm doing now is exactly what I think is meaningful. I am not interested in the so-called emperor at all, and the meaningful things I am talking about are by no means to be some emperor. ”

"Then what exactly do you want to do?" Guo Wei was puzzled.

"What about the peaceful and prosperous era?" What about the generation of Ming Jun?" Li Fengyun laughed, "I heard the teacher Feng Dao say that when the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, Wei Jiayu was invincible, and there was no other in the world for a while, but now? The common people are precarious, and they can't even fill their stomachs, and they may be cut off and kicked as a ball at any time." Brother Guo, do you think this is normal?"

Guo Wei disagreed, and said: "One rises and one declines, the world is reasonable, the so-called sun is in the middle of the day, and the moon is full of losses, and everything is like this." ”

Li Fengyun shook his head and argued: "No, although I don't understand the truth of the world, I understand what happened. That is, if I want to go to Kaifeng, I should go southwest, and if I want to go to Yangzhou, I should go south, and I should not always go around in circles in one place. If I keep going around in circles in one place, it only proves that I have taken the wrong path, and if I continue like this, I am afraid that I will never be able to reach Kaifeng, let alone Yangzhou.

At this time, the right thing to do is to jump out of the original path and find a new path. It's not necessarily the right path, but it's at least a start, isn't it? As long as there are enough new paths, there will always be a way to where we want to go. ”

"Then where do you want to go?" asked Guo Wei.

Li Fengyun raised his head, his eyes scorching: "If everyone is equal, there is no suffering, no hunger, no crime, life will not be threatened, everyone can live the life they want, there is no prosperity and decline, and there is no Datong world where a chicken dies and a chicken crows!"
