Chapter 2218
Wen Renzheng looked at Liu Mingzhi's increasingly sad expression, untied the dry pipe from his waist and filled it with shredded tobacco, leaned over to light the lantern in Liu Mingzhi's hand, and swallowed a few puffs silently.

"You took the initiative to show your kindness, hoping to bridge the gap between yourself and Li Ye and his ministers, and returned to the capital lightly.

It's a pity that Tiangong doesn't make the most beautiful!

After you entered the capital, you stabilized the imperial court and purged the government, not only did not relieve Li Ye's panic, but intensified his sincere fear of you, a powerful uncle, going to the next level.

Because of your invincible appearance above the court, it reminded him of your domineering figure when he first came to the throne two years ago, when you overwhelmed the civil and military forces of the court and fought the Northern Expedition.

Your original intention is to show your goodwill, to express your loyalty to the imperial court, and to help him with all your strength.

But in his view, you have dealt with the scapegoat Ren Wenyue and these rebellious officials and thieves are demonstrating against him.

In this way, the relationship between the two of you, the monarch and his ministers, has really reached the point where it cannot be eased, and you are both worried.

So I have to mention again what you said in Dangyang Academy back then.

When you talk about the historical events of killing birds, hiding good bows, killing cunning rabbits, and running dogs cooking these historical things, the look of panic from the heart.

It's what happened next that made you even more uneasy.

Li Ye is always worried that you will rebel like his uncles, and you are also worried that if you listen to Li Ye's will and take the initiative to hand over power, Li Ye will do everything to you. lift.

In this way, it is doomed that the relationship between you monarch and ministers has reached a situation that cannot be tolerated.

This is the fundamental reason why Li Ye wanted to take back your rights, but you refused with various excuses. "

"Old man, since I have already seen through the relationship between me and Li Ye, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is in dire straits, and there is absolutely no possibility of relaxation.

Why should I take risks alone and wait until Li Ye comes to assassinate me on my own initiative?

Taking advantage of the morale of millions of troops leaving the customs and fighting at that time, it is not enough to directly raise troops to rebel.

After all, at that time, whether it was the Six Guards of the New Army, the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang, or the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions, because I had already carried the identity of the soldiers and horses under my command because I cut them first and then went out to fight.

At this time, I directly raised my troops to rebel, even if the generals of the six northern guards did not want to respond.

But because of following my order to go out and fight, I have already quietly boarded the thief ship.

At that time, I rebelled, and they couldn't do without following the rebellion.

The imperial court can't tolerate them, maybe because the boy is strong, in order to appease them, the generals will make a temporary compromise decision.

But when they helped the court to quell the rebellion of the king who stood shoulder to shoulder with me, what greeted them would definitely be the court's fall.

Things that I can see through, how can Old Marshal Yun and the others who have gone through several dynasties not see through.

At that time, I could have rebelled directly, so why wait until Fengyundu was assassinated later, when the king forced the ministers to rebel, and the ministers had to rebel? "

With sharp eyes, Wen Renzheng knocked the ash out of the cigarette stick to the soles of his feet, smiled lightly and shook his head.

"Because your heart is too big.

You have never considered unifying the great dragon, conquering the three kingdoms, and completing the unification of the world as your lifelong goal.

Since the end of the autumn in the 26th year of Xuande, after you entered Beijing and reunited with Yan Hejun and his ministers, after presenting the Western sea chart.

Your heart becomes as far-sighted as Kunpeng.

To you, dominating the world is just a long-lasting feat, but expanding the territory and looking to the West is a great feat that has lasted through the ages.

If you take the initiative to rebel and come from nowhere, even if you can successfully seize the throne.

But after that?There will be endless troubles, enough to take your whole life to solve.

At that time, people's hearts were complicated, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could not work together. It was still difficult for you to rule the world, so how can you talk about expanding the territory and looking forward to the Western countries?
So what if you unified the world with extraordinary means?

The teacher came out of no name, and you who took the initiative to rebel dare to send a large number of elite soldiers and horses to the western seas?
After all, at that time, if a large army goes out, without you to rely on, a little bit of manipulation by the Li clan, coupled with the secret response of hundreds of officials, will be enough for you, the bare emperor, to fall into a place of eternal doom.

As for the king forcing his ministers to rebel, it was Li Ye who was loyal to you, who stood shoulder to shoulder with the unrighteous king first, so you acted inhumanely and raised troops to rebel.

And those six guards of northern Xinjiang because of your prestige accumulated for a long time, will feel the sorrow of the death of the rabbit and the fox.

Although you have to stop your rebellion because of the military order, you don't feel disgusted with your rebellion in your heart.

After you succeed in your great cause, they won't have too strong aspirations to restore the former dynasty.

At that time, if you show kindness and kindness again, you can easily and quickly secure the throne you have won.

Hundreds of thousands of elite frontier troops are in your hands, and [-]% of the civil and military officials in the court do not recognize you. What's the use if you don't have enough energy!

The trend of the times cannot be changed!

Is it or is it not? "

Liu Mingzhi closed his eyes with a painful expression, lifted the jug and drank the remaining wine in one gulp.

"Ok!"

"The most important thing is that at this moment, you still have very little hope, and you don't want to get into a confrontation with Li Ye.

The reason is nothing more than peace, and Li Baiyu's kindness to you in the past.

The third princess, Li Yan, Fuzhengping's wife, eased the situation. After you had a premonition that Li Ye was planning to kill you, you still carried only [-] soldiers and horses and returned them to the capital without hesitation. subsequent matters.

Even though you know that this is probably a trap specially set by Li Ye for you, you still obeyed.

Because this decree is to have an affair with you. Uh-huh, because this decree is made by the Queen Mother Chen Jie.

You accepted the order and entered Beijing with the last hope.

But you and Li Ye are so intolerable and do not understand the situation, there is no possibility of any relaxation at all.

Because you are suspicious of each other, it is impossible for you to give in for each other.

He is for the foundation of his ancestors, Li's family, and you are for your own wealth and life, wife and children.

The situation where you both have your own reasons for your own reasons, the monarch and his ministers, also created the subsequent assassination of Fengyundu.

Your refusal to hand over the power makes Li Ye think that you have the heart of disobedience, Li Ye presses every step of the way and makes you think that he has the intention of killing you.

Then, under Li Ye's gradual persecution, all the previous campaigns turned into the monarch forcing the ministers to rebel, and the ministers had to rebel.

In fact, you have never thought of rebelling, everything is self-protection, right?

I want to hear the truth! "

Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks that were a little stiff from the cold wind, silently tied the bottomed wine gourd around his waist, raised his hand to take the wine gourd in Wen Renzheng's hand, and drank it with his head tilted.

"Old man, whether you believe it or not, Liu Mingzhi wants to say that I, Liu Mingzhi, can say that with a clear conscience, although I am constantly building up momentum and strengthening my rights, everything I do is for the sake of having enough The strength of self-protection, never thought of rebellion.

Everything I do is for the sake that even if one day I have a high position and power and cannot be tolerated by the current emperor, I will still be capable enough to keep my family, wife and children.

Liu Mingzhi is afraid of death but he is not afraid of death, but my family has dozens of wives and children, what is the crime?
You actually want to follow me and suffer the risk of being wiped out.

Father and brother are very kind to me. Even though Li Ye has done some deeds for the throne that make me chill, as long as he doesn't ruthlessly want to get rid of the kid and the whole family, I still don't think about rebelling.

I don't deny everything you said, including the matter of looking forward to the West.

For the sake of Dalong Jiangshan, the boy even has the determination to pacify the Kingdom of Jin. Even if I use a more vast territory in the West to compensate my little girl Luoyue in the future, I never thought of taking the initiative to take the Wanli Jiangshan from Li Ye's hands.

But just like what you said just now, old man, Li Ye can't tolerate me.

My show of favor was regarded as a demonstration by him. I wanted to help him rule the world in order to fulfill the heavy responsibility entrusted to my father and brother, but in his view, I was born with a heart of disobedience and wanted to support the army and stand on my own.

Old man, you know how the boy is.

It is true that the book of township and the policy of governing the country are dedicated to Li Ye, and I am not false in order to build momentum.

But I definitely don't have the intention of spoiling the seedlings, but I really want to help Li Ye get a stable place in the country as soon as possible.

My lazy temper is not clear to others, but you understand it.

I just hope that one day the world will be unified as soon as possible. When my idle prince travels around the mountains and rivers, let Li Ye and my sons and daughters go to look forward to Xiyang, the Pandora's box opened by the boy himself!

It's just that I didn't expect that Li Ye only learned the art of governing the country, the policy of governing the people, and the power of the emperor contained in the book of township and the policy of governing the country, and he used all the power of the emperor to my uncle and teacher. .

I used the momentum to protect myself, but what happened later was no longer something I could unilaterally decide.

Fire and water cannot tolerate each other, and they are suspicious of each other.

I dare not delegate power, let alone hand over power.

I'm afraid that Li Ye won't be able to use one of the emperor's power techniques I taught him, so he will use it to deal with me, boy! "

Wen Renzheng looked at Liu Mingzhi's distressed expression, sighed and nodded.

"You use the world as a chessboard and the Three Kingdoms as chess pieces to help Dalong unify the world, but in the end it becomes your own country-seeking act.

It can only be said that the world is impermanent, Li Ye's experience is destined not to make him, like his father, open-minded and open-minded, continue the story of another generation of monarchs and ministers with you, the pillar of the great dragon. "

Liu Mingzhi nodded with a sour expression: "Yes, if the imperial brother Li Baiyu had been in power, the situation today might never have happened.

It's a pity that just as you said just now, old man, the world is impermanent, and nature makes people fool.

The root cause of Brother Huang's untimely death is that my wife said politely behind the scenes to fuel the flames, which led to the subsequent situation.

Many times, the kid can only lament that God's will tricks people, and he can't help himself. "

"If—the old man said, if Li Ye hadn't committed an assassination in Fengyundu, would you rebel?"

"will not!"

Wen Renzheng nodded in relief when he heard Liu Mingzhi's resolute words blurted out without hesitation.

"Based on the old man's understanding of you, I know that this must be your sincere words with a clear conscience.

But there are some things that can't be changed without you and me.

For example, if you step on the seven stars, you will return to your destiny. "

Liu Mingzhi was shocked, and looked at Wen Renzheng in amazement: "You also know this?"

"It's hard to know what your father Liu Zhi'an did on the palace wall.

In fact, the so-called destiny belongs to, and what the destiny is, the old man still can't figure it out.

But you haven't thought about it, are the two books on state governance and the policy of governing the country that you taught him in Li Ye's hand the original ones that you wrote yourself?

Li Ye has changed from a new king who respects you very much, relies on you for everything, and relies on you to become what he is later, have you never doubted anything? "

Liu Mingzhi nodded with a painful expression, and silently took out two books wrapped in light yellow silk cloth from his arms.

Under the light of the candlelight inside the lantern, Liu Mingzhi handed the lantern to Wen Renzheng, and silently tore apart the silk cloth, revealing the three big characters of "Zhen Guo Shu".

After the two books were staggered, the three characters of "Governance Policy" appeared in front of the two of them again.

"After the situation stabilized, after the kid dragged his family into the palace, he accidentally found these two wrinkled books that had been flipped through from the drawer of the imperial study.

Some of the above did change.

Other than that demon queen Ren Qingrui back then, who else can do that?"

With a helpless expression, Liu Mingzhi put away the two books and put them in his arms.

"Standing on the seven stars is where the destiny comes from.

Old man, you said that now that the overall situation has been settled, even if I know it well, so what if I figured out the cause and effect?

Nothing can be changed anymore, it can only be said that in the dark, it has its own will! "

Wen Renzheng stopped slowly, held up the flickering red lanterns, and looked at the snow-covered river on both sides of the river, the water surface was shrouded in mist, and the river was flowing slowly.

"It was here that you rescued the girl Shu'er who fell into the river from the river, so that she waited on your return date for more than ten years and never married for a long time.

However, the world changed, and despite the ups and downs, she still couldn't escape the fateful promise you made back then, and finally tied the knot with you.

Perhaps, it really is God's will in the dark! "
