From Kowloon's Inheritance

Chapter 245 A Hope!
"How can a person have no backbone? A person has no bones but does not stand. I have established the country for thousands of years. When the emperor guards the gate of the country, the king dies in the country. No marriage, no land, no compensation, no tribute, even if you die, you will not regret it. Your Majesty, don't dawdle, Yuantu Kingdom wants to fight, so let's fight!"

"Kill the Yuantu Kingdom to be afraid, kill the Yuantu Kingdom to be afraid, and kill a hundred years of peace! Peace, never come out of talking, but out of fighting!"

"The peace brought about by the so-called kinship is only to temporarily alleviate and suppress the contradictions, but the more the contradictions are suppressed, the more violent and destructive they will erupt later."

Hearing these words, the emperor's blood boiled with enthusiasm.

Whether it makes sense or not, at least the blood in my heart is burning.

It seems to give people the impression that Li Mu is an upright person, like a raging flame that seems to burn everything.

But thinking of the memorial sent by King Zhenbei, he sneered.

In the memorial, the sheriff advocated a marriage.

The emperor said: "But not long ago, you advocated peace. In the conversation with King Zhenbei, you said that our dynasty should make peace, and marriage is also good for us. First, you can use the name of peace to send spies to investigate The internal situation of the tribe; second, in the name of marriage, we can unite vertically and horizontally, helping the small to fight the big; third, among the upper class, we can cultivate and be close to the nobles of our dynasty!"

"But now, why do you change your mouth? Don't you agree with your heart?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "I advocate peace, that is the governor of Tianshui County, because fighting will kill people, or the people of Tianshui County, as a county governor, it is natural to protect the people; now I am against the marriage, it is Tanhualang Li Mu, he is not a county governor, and he does not need it." Take care of the interests of the common people. The governor of Tianshui has nothing to do with me, Li Mu!!"

The emperor said: "..."

After a while, the emperor said, "You're not saying what you mean!"

"Now, you are not the governor of Tianshui County, nor Li Tanhua, but a commoner, how do you treat me?" the emperor asked.

"Civilians don't care about state affairs, they only care about one-third of an acre of their own land. As long as they don't rob me of a hundred acres of land, everything is fine!" Li Mu said casually.

"Tell you a bad news!"

The emperor said, "The court has agreed to a marriage!"

"Promise!" Li Mu frowned slightly.

"The marriage partner is the eighth princess!" said the emperor.

Li Mu was at a loss, as if he hadn't remembered who this eighth princess was.

The emperor frowned slightly, and had no choice but to add: "That is, when I met Ji Xuewei in Jinling, you once saved her life!"

"It turned out to be her!" Li Mu said, a little puzzled: "Why is she? Marriage, you can fool around as you like, you can replace it with a maid, or a maid, it doesn't matter if it looks ugly. But why? Use a real princess!"

"No, I can't be fooled!" The emperor said: "In the northwest there is Yuantu Kingdom, and in the north there is Yuanmeng. Yuanmeng is powerful, but Yuantu is small. Therefore, Yuantu is the target of wooing... In order to woo Yuantu, Naturally, a certain amount of sincerity must be shown. You can fool around in normal times, but not now!"

"Could it be that His Majesty is afraid?"

Li Mu said excitedly.

"Yes, I'm afraid. If I'm just alone, I dare to fight for the quarrel, and I don't care if I die. With a big scar on my head, I will still be a good man after 18 years; but after having a wife, daughter, and son, I will never die. I dare not work hard with others. I am afraid that after I die, someone will sleep with my wife, my son will be called someone else’s father, and my stepfather will abuse my son and make my son starve. Therefore, if you encounter problems, bear it if you can!”

"Later, I became the emperor, carrying a country on my back, carrying the foundation of my ancestors, and I was even less courageous. I was afraid that because of a wrong decision of mine, the [-] troops in front would be destroyed; I was afraid that because of a wrong decision of mine, hundreds of thousands of soldiers would be destroyed. Suffer disaster, starve to death!"

"If I was alone, I wouldn't mind if I made mistakes. One person would be full and the whole family would not be hungry. But after having a wife and children, I would not dare to make mistakes, for fear that the whole family would not be able to eat. But after becoming an emperor, I am even more courageous. As the emperor, I am not allowed to make mistakes!"

"I made a mistake, hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people pay the bill!"

The emperor spoke with eloquence, and suddenly looked at Li Mu and said: "If the Yuantu Kingdom, Yuan Meng Kingdom, etc., join forces to attack, the frontier will be extremely difficult, and I only have five chances of winning. If I succeed, I will repel the siege even if I succeed. The best ending; but if it fails, if you miss the border, you will lose your life, hundreds of thousands, and millions of people will die!"

"Therefore, it is necessary to appease the Yuantu Kingdom, relying on a maid, who is a princess as a court lady, to fool the Yuantu Kingdom, you need to have sincerity, to appease the Yuantu Kingdom, a real princess, is a manifestation of sincerity!"

You can fake it in normal times, but at critical moments, Wei Li shows your sincerity and cannot fake it.

Li Mu said: "Your Majesty, getting married doesn't mean peace, and it may not necessarily bring peace..."

"I know!" said the emperor, "I have already notified the border gates to prepare for the war and prepare for the worst... Now the marriage is just a hope. No matter how slim the hope is, it is at least a hope!"

Li Mu was silent, but he understood the emperor's thoughts.

"Is it worth it?"

Li Mu said.

"It's worth it!" said the emperor: "A person cannot help himself in the rivers and lakes. Being an emperor is also involuntary. If you are a commoner, you can pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, but as an emperor, you can't pay attention to benevolence and righteousness. It's all worth it! Saving one person, saving a hundred people, is the benevolence of the small people; saving tens of millions of people, hundreds of millions of people, is great benevolence and righteousness!"

"In order to save tens of millions of people, kill one person, kill a thousand people, I can do it!"
