The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 414 The Philosopher King! Confucian ideal king! Reign of terror! Wang Yangming: Oh no, it’s Wang Mang again!
Fortunately, he insisted on no Northern Expedition.

Otherwise, you may end up like Louis XVI at any time.

Everyone would be happy if the Northern Expedition succeeded, but if it failed, he, the emperor, would be the one to be sacrificed to heaven!

Wei State.

Sima Zhao looked thoughtfully at Lu Yi XVI who was sent to the guillotine and the people watching around him.

"It might be a good idea to put the emperor on trial..."

He knocked on the armrest with his finger. Cao Mao has been jumping around recently to try to regain power. Although he can't make a big storm, it is really annoying if he does it too often.

Moreover, Sima Zhao couldn't wait any longer. If he hadn't worried that directly killing the king and usurping the throne would leave a bad reputation, or even be attacked by a group, he would have taken action long ago.

but……

Sima Zhao raised his head and looked at the sky. What if Lu Yi Sixteen died in the same way?
Let Cao Mao make a big mistake, arouse people's anger, and then put him on trial. In this way, he can not only get the throne legitimately, but also win the hearts and minds of the people!
"Come here!" Sima Zhao made a decision and immediately ordered: "Summon Cheng Ji!"

At the same time, in the Wei palace, Cao Mao was horrified when he saw Lu Yi XVI, who was also the emperor, being killed.

He had previously felt that instead of being overpowered by Sima Zhao and suffering humiliation as an emperor, it would be better to fight to the death.

But now that he saw the fate of Lu Yi Sixteen and that death was so close, Cao Mao was inevitably afraid again.

He swallowed, how about...maintaining the status quo for now?

tomorrow.

Zhu Di frowned, "Those who achieve great things must be able to bend and stretch."

Although Lu Yi Sixteen is now at a disadvantage, he clearly has a chance to survive after compromising, but he is in a hurry to escape.

Lu Yi XVI could have tolerated it first and then waited for an opportunity to regain power.

When Zhu Yunwen came to the throne, he also endured the humiliation in Peiping. When the other party ordered the reduction of vassal states, he waited for an opportunity to raise troops and conquered the world.

"Idiot." Zhu Di commented in a deep voice.

He looked at the sky, and at the same time he felt a little curious. Lu Yi XVI was sent to the guillotine, but what about Faguo?
Now that the emperor is gone, who will be in charge?

Could it be...that he was Napoleon whom Tianmu first mentioned?

[After Lu Yi XVI was sent to the guillotine, how to manage the country became a top priority, especially now that the country is facing a financial crisis, and anti-alliance people are coming to the doorstep]

[The most important thing is that the third estate is composed of various interest groups. After the contradiction of the king disappeared, the internal contradictions gradually intensified]

[In this case, Robespierre came to power and stood at the pinnacle of power in the new country of Faguo! 】

[Robespierre’s grandfathers were lawyers for two generations, and he was no exception. After going to Bari as a representative of the Third Estate, he proposed universal suffrage, opposition to the king’s veto, and the abolition of the death penalty, etc.]

[He also delivered the famous speech "If the country wants to survive, the king must die", which won him great prestige! 】

[Furthermore, Robespierre was not a womanizer, he was upright, and his morality was perfect. He was called the "incorruptible"! 】

Song.

Zhu Xi originally had a calm expression, but when he heard Tian Mu's last words, he suddenly stood up from his chair and quickly walked out of the room to the yard.

"Not a womanizer, upright, morally perfect, incorruptible." He repeated Tianmu's evaluation of Robespierre, then clapped his hands and laughed!
"Okay, okay!" Zhu Xi was excited and happy, "This person is well chosen!"

This is clearly their Confucian ideal emperor!

Only people with high moral character can truly lead a country to prosperity! Which wise king has history killed who did not possess some excellent moral qualities? Is there any foolish king who is not morally corrupt?

Zhu Xi could almost imagine that under the leadership of this incorruptible man, Faguo would soon get out of the crisis and become strong!
After thinking about it, he felt a little regretful. How come such a person is not in China?
Zhu Xi had completely forgotten that Tianmu had mentioned it at the beginning, and Napoleon finally took the throne.

Warring States Period.

Two young men were playing chess on the corridor, it was Li Si and Han Fei.

Lis made a move, glanced at the sky and asked: "What do you think of Robespierre taking charge of the country?"

"Inappropriate." Han Fei said: "People with perfect moral character are not suitable. Those in power need to have interests in check and balance."

"It's rare that we have the same views." Li Si said with emotion.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Robespierre has perfect moral character. Such a person can become a famous person, establish a sect, or even become a saint.

But he is not suitable to be in power.

This kind of people often have a problem. They have high moral character, and they will demand this from others, and they hope that the entire society and country will be like this.

But the world is bustling, all for profit. When there are internal and external troubles, such a person may be able to win the hearts of the people and become a short-term winner, but in the long run, it will inevitably lead to a greater crisis.

While thinking about it, Li Si made the last move, "You lose."

Han Fei remained silent for a while before asking: "Have you decided to go to Qin?"

Li Qi stood up and said, "We have different ways and we don't want to conspire with each other." After saying this, he walked away.

Han Dynasty.

Liu Xiu looked at the sky, feeling a strange sense of familiarity in his heart.

A person of perfect character?

Sounds so familiar.

[In order to solve the crisis, Robespierre launched strict wartime economic policies, closing exchanges, canceling joint-stock companies, and setting price limits for food and daily necessities, allowing Bari's material supply to be restored]

[He mobilized all the people of the country to participate in the war. He had a family behind to manufacture weapons and supply food. The women sewed clothes and took care of the wounded soldiers, the children made bandages, and the old man was responsible for encouraging the soldiers.]

[With this, Robespierre summoned more than 400,000 troops in a short period of time and reversed the situation on the battlefield of Faguo! 】

Hearing this, Confucian disciples from all over time and space looked eagerly at the sky. Under the leadership of Robespierre, the country of Fa seemed to be flourishing.

really! It is most correct for people with high moral character to lead the country!
But for some reason, they always have a weird feeling.

Harsh wartime economic policies? Sounds weird.

[Faguo won victory on the battlefield, all foreign forces that interfered with Faguang’s internal affairs were driven out of their country, and the royalist rebellion was put down]

[However, the implementation of these policies has always encountered strong resistance, and the method adopted by Robespierre was the Reign of Terror]

[He arrested all those who might threaten the peace of the country without giving them any chance to defend themselves]

[During this period, a full 50,000 people were guillotined, including many scholars and well-known social figures]

What?
Confucian students from all over time and space are confused!

Zhu Xi, who was laughing when he saw the country rising steadily under the rule of Robespierre, stopped abruptly.
