When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 11 The Way of Discussing Momentum
Bai Linxian sat down again, nodded and smiled, very satisfied with the emperor's attitude.If he is really as absurd and incompetent as the rumors say, he will not continue talking about it here.He is a proud person, and has always been so. Even after being tempered by life and the vagaries of the world, what has changed is only his attitude and method of doing things, and this pride is deeply buried in his bones.

He wants to prove to those who once looked down upon and bullied him that some people cannot be defeated!

He must take back what he lost with his own hands!

Li Shun is looking forward to his next speech.He analyzed the Hu family's situation very well.

The Hu family was indeed the spokesperson elected by the Xungui Group, but the Hu family also maintained the balance between the Xungui and the court to a certain extent, delaying the occurrence of war.

This balance is based on indulgence. The Hu family seizes profits from the court to feed the nobles and meets almost all their unreasonable conditions. This is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, and sooner or later there will be backlash.

Hu Minde also realized this, so he set his sights on the dragon throne under Li Shun, hoping to ascend to the throne of God and break this dangerous situation.

This is a multi-party game, a life-and-death struggle.

Bai Linxian sat upright and said: "The authority of the emperor is the authority of the emperor. A king with great righteousness will be respected by hundreds of officials and supported by all surnames. Even if there are treacherous ministers and thieves peeking at him, because the status of emperor and ministers has been determined early, they will still have scruples and not dare to act recklessly. Since ancient times, Since ancient times, those who seek to usurp the throne have to find a reasonable excuse, either criticizing the ruler, or pretending to be destiny. Otherwise, they have obtained the throne improperly and cannot be trusted by others. The king, the king, the ministers, the fathers, the sons, the sons. Therefore, the emperor compares Hu Minde and others have an innate advantage that they do not have. You are the king and they are the ministers. This is power!"

Li Shun asked, "What if they don't care at all?"

Bai Linxian smiled and said: "They are really so crazy. Can the emperor still sit here and talk to me? If Hu Minde usurps the throne in this way, can his kingdom be stable? Today he dares to kill the king unscrupulously, and tomorrow someone will dare to Use the same method against him.

The emperor must know that the true meaning of power is to abide by the rules.Whether it is decreed by heaven or decreed by man, whether it is a regulation on the surface or a secret agreement, they are all rules and the way of heaven.

Power is born from rules.For example, when marching and fighting, the sergeants must obey the general's orders, so the general has power.If a sergeant disobeys orders, can a general still be called a general?The imperial court governed thousands of people and imposed taxes and corvees on them, using only one county magistrate.Anyone with a discerning eye can tell the difference in strength between the two.

Although the people were suffering, they were still willing to obey, because this was the power given to the county magistrate by the royal law of the court.But if someone plots rebellion and the rules are broken, the people may rush into the government office and kill the county magistrate. At this time, what power does the county magistrate have?The word power means that only when you have power can you have power.Where the general trend is, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. "

Li Shun nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Although Bai Linxian's words were a bit taken for granted, they also seemed to be thinking about the current situation from another aspect.As the saying goes, "Rules are dead, but people are alive." Throughout the dynasties, trusting the other party to obey the rules is tantamount to self-destruction.

In previous dynasties, among Xiang Yu, Sima Zhao, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who didn’t kill their boss?The worst one, Sima Zhao, even killed the emperor in the street. The impact was so bad that the moral level of future generations dropped directly into the trench.

The struggle for imperial power is bloody and hypocritical. Li Er killed his brother and slaughtered his brother, which is still the emperor for the ages.He agrees with what Bai Linxian said that potential energy gives birth to power. At the same time, from a dialectical perspective, power can also maintain momentum.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Shun does not appreciate Bai Linxian. Being able to say such things is enough to prove that he is a smart person, but I don't know if it is just talk on paper?It is easy to just sit down and talk about everything. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Li Shun looked at Liu Zheng gratefully: "Teacher, I didn't expect you to have such a talented person. I feel relieved when I leave it to you. Now, I have a few things for you to do..."

The three of them talked for a long time, and they reluctantly said goodbye until the moon was in the sky.

Before leaving, Li Shun called Zhao Zhongxiao and asked in front of Liu Zheng: "Is the matter done?" Zhao Zhongxiao took out a note from his arms: "The report to the emperor has been done. Hu Minde is in the governor's office The government and the original spies in the Liu Mansion have been cleared out. In order to prevent the enemy from being alerted, the Shenji Guards have controlled them first, and will deal with them in various unexpected ways later on. This is the list. "

Li Shun said happily: "You did a good job."

He motioned to hand the list to Liu Zheng: "Teacher, Hu Minde is a cunning and insidious person, so you have to be careful."

Liu Zheng took the list and looked at it, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Even his son's favorite concubine was Hu Minde's spy. It was so pervasive!

Li Shun smiled and said: "There is a gentleman's way to deal with a gentleman, and there is a villain's way to deal with a villain. They all vary according to the time, the situation, and the person. If the teacher needs help in Longdu Mansion, Jinwu Guard and Shenji Wei will cooperate with you. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Liu Zheng thought for a moment, then slightly raised his hand to Zhao Zhongxiao: "I'll thank you for your cooperation, Eunuch Zhao."

Zhao Zhongxiao understood that the emperor was doing this old-fashioned job, and responded in kind: "They are all doing things for the emperor."

Li Shun looked at the two people having a friendly exchange and showed a satisfied smile: "The safety of Jiangshan Sheji is entrusted to you two."

Liu Zheng suddenly straightened his face and said with concern in a stern tone: "The emperor is the foundation of the country! Don't take risks like this again and leave the palace incognito. If you encounter an assassin, I will never be redeemed." ”

Li Shun looked embarrassed and nodded repeatedly. This old man really felt uncomfortable without criticizing anyone for a day, so he sent him away in a hurry.

On the carriage back, Liu Zheng stared at the book in his hand for a long time: "Lin Xian, it seems that I wrongly blamed the emperor before. Even if this matter can be arranged in place, I, Dayin, have hope. But Hu Minde He is really ambitious and unscrupulous, and he has arranged so many spies in my house. It scares me to think about it."

Bai Linxian said: "My lord, don't you think the 'two guards' are more terrifying? All the spies placed by Hu Minde were discovered by them. With such ability, what secrets does the world have in front of them?"

Liu Zheng was speechless and fell into silence.

The carriage moved further and further away, eventually disappearing into the night.

In the early morning of the next day, it was just dawn.Li casually embarked on the road back to the palace, recalling yesterday's harvest and almost laughed out loud. Not only did he achieve his goal, but he also discovered Bai Linxian's talent.He was in a good mood and naturally had a great appetite. He picked up a bottle of elixir and poured it into his mouth, but he only poured half of it and found that it was gone!

"Alas! This is the last bottle!"

Li Shun said helplessly: "It seems that we have to hire someone to make the elixir."
