After sighing, Li Kun looked at the many imperial doctors around him, waved his hand and said, "You all should go out first."

The imperial doctor heard this, but did not dare to follow it casually. They listened to the emperor's words and went out. If Li Kun's condition suddenly worsened and something unexpected happened, it would be their responsibility. How could they be negligent? ?

The leading physician said: "Your Majesty, please..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Kun interrupted: "I know my body, at least there will be no problem today."

Of course, Li Kun's words were not very convincing, but after insisting again and again, the imperial doctors couldn't resist him. However, they did not dare to go far, so they waited in the bay outside the palace——

These imperial doctors also realized that the emperor actually had something to say, and it was not convenient for them to hear it. He thought that he would not have to say this for long, and he would be able to go in after a while.

After the doctors withdrew, Li Kun took a deep breath, calmed down his mind, and then cheered up. The few words he said before had consumed a lot of energy, so he needed to take a rest and regain his senses.

Eunuch Wei was waiting quietly. At the same time, he glanced at the small yellow gate and the guards standing in the corner not far away.

At this time, Li Kun spoke again: "What I am really worried about is actually the prince's temper."

When Eunuch Wei heard this, he did not say anything, but bowed his head slightly. He knew that when the emperor mentioned this matter under such circumstances and at this time, it was by no means a simple emotion, but meant to entrust the funeral affairs.

Faced with this situation, Eunuch Wei only had to listen quietly, and there was no need to say anything as that was what he really wanted to do. It will be implemented in the days to come.

"Daban, you also know about my problem. The root cause is still the incident a few years ago, even if I am still alive. But my life span is limited, and I am in danger of dying at any time, so I usually have many expectations for the prince, and even I am also trying to teach him many things that he should not know at that age..."

What Li Kun said later was actually no stranger to Eunuch Wei. Because he can be regarded as a witness to many of these things.

Eunuch Wei also understood the meaning of those words. The key reason was that the emperor was afraid that he would die at some point. He was afraid that it would be too late to teach the prince some of the skills and principles of being a king, so he advanced the process.

Don't think that if you were born in the royal family and then take over the throne, you can smoothly become the emperor and balance the officials and power. This is actually a profession that requires high personal skills.

Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s talk about Daqi before Dali. There were many emperors who ascended the throne as young men or even young children.

This kind of emperor himself does not have the ability to execute power, so he naturally needs others to take charge on his behalf, and they are in the process of growing up. No one dares to truly reprimand and teach them, which undoubtedly makes them unscrupulous and difficult to become a wise king when they grow up.

Not to mention, there is the existence of the treacherous and flattering person who deliberately or unconsciously manipulated the young emperor. Those who are guided will go astray and do whatever they want.

Not to mention the young emperor. Even the adult who unexpectedly got the position of emperor sometimes found it difficult to control himself. Or actually take charge.

Still taking the example of the previous dynasty, there are the vassals and princes who unexpectedly got the throne, and they also wanted to be a good emperor. However, it is difficult for people who have not experienced real royal power and skills to truly control the throne——

"Before I stepped onto the throne, I thought that the emperor wanted to govern the world, seek benefits for all people, and create peace for all generations. But when I really sat in this position, I realized that governing the world is not the emperor's duty. Constraint, balance and Managing officials is what we face every day, and everything else is actually an extension of this matter..."

Listening to this, Eunuch Wei did not dare to interrupt, and even lowered his head gradually, because he knew in his heart that these things were not something he could know. The reason why the emperor said this was not only because of trust, but also because he wanted to find out. People talked about it, and at the same time, I wanted Eunuch Wei to write down these words so that he could wake up and remind the next emperor in the future.

"Moreover, if you want to accomplish many things, you will not be able to accomplish them overnight, let alone be brave and diligent. Instead, you have to be circuitous and tortuous, and move forward in the compromise of all parties. When I first came to the throne, I looked at those ministers who were following the old ways and felt that they were too old-fashioned. I was too conservative, but later I realized that these ministers may have selfish motives, but they are not indifferent to Dali. The degree here is really difficult to grasp. "

As he spoke, Li Kun's eyes were slightly blurred, as if he was lost in memories.

"It's a pity that I didn't understand it at the time. My whole-hearted support of the new party has now plunged Da Rui into party disputes. Even if I balance it and stir up different opinions, it still leaves hidden dangers. I don't know if the prince can do this." clear."

He sighed slightly, and then said with a smile: "A king should arbitrate among officials, rather than be led by the officials' opinions. When I first came to the throne, I valued virtue more than talent, but after all, being an official is not about learning. , sometimes personal ethics should not be the main consideration, let alone the corruption of one person's personal ethics. Take Zhang Hou for example. Although his reputation is not good, his work as an official is better than that of many honest officials. Moreover, Such people are easier to control because they have fear in their hearts.”

Thinking of this, Li Kun changed the topic: "I have said these words to the prince back and forth, but he failed to understand the deep meaning. He only knew the superficial meaning and couldn't see clearly. substance."

He looked at Eunuch Wei and said: "Two years ago, I once told him that Qiu Qing did not have official ambitions, but he should not be negligent. At that time, he always cared about it because he hoped that Qiu Qing would be the prince's arm in the future. In order to rely on him, he should not rely too much, but he did not expect that he would have the idea of ​​beating Qiu Qing at the slightest provocation. Can he beat Qiu Qing as a child? Even if it is me, I can only treat him with kindness, but it’s better for him to just look at the surface..."

Having said this, Li Kun felt angry and his tone became much heavier without realizing it.

After hearing this, Eunuch Wei wanted to express his position: "The prince has changed now, and now he treats Qiu Shangshu with great courtesy and respects him very much."

"Hmph!" Li Kun couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Of course he wants to be admired. Who do you think he can hide the things he did? He wanted to make Qiu Qing look embarrassed, but in the end, the people he found, even Qiu Qing His disciples were far inferior. In the end, even he was left speechless, and then he was sincerely convinced. He was just arrogant at first but respectful at the end. How could Qiu Qing easily forgive such a person? I am still here now. If I am no longer here, This court can no longer maintain the relationship with Qiu Qing. At that time, he hung up his crown and left to focus on his studies. It was a great loss for me! "

That is to say, the angrier Li Kun got, the more Eunuch Wei was frightened and wanted to remind him, but Li Kun waved his hand to stop him and said: "My lord, you have heard what the imperial doctor just said. I don’t know when my life will go back. I feel worthy of my ancestors, but the only thing I’m worried about is what happens after death. If I don’t say these things today, I might not have the chance to say them in the future.”

Hearing this, Eunuch Wei became more and more sad, but he also knew that this was true. Now that Li Kun's body was too weak, he couldn't even ask martial arts practitioners to transfer his vitality to strengthen his body and prolong his life. It is possible to stimulate the last bit of its potential and achieve the appearance of the lamp running out and the light returning.

This is different from before. When Li Kun's soul passed away, Eunuch Wei and other martial arts masters replenished it with Qi and blood to maintain the vitality and vitality of the body. If the person's soul is not there, he is dead, which is already the worst case scenario. Of course, there is no need to think too much, but if you repeat the same tricks now, it will harm others.

Fortunately, Li Kun took a few breaths and straightened out his breath. His expression improved, and he asked, "My companion, do you know the strategy that Qiu Qing mentioned recently about using war to support war?"

Eunuch Wei nodded and said: "The old slave knows that there are people in Nanyang who are massacring the Chinese Miao people. The local kings sent people to ask for help. Qiu Shangshu strongly advocated sending troops to rob the food of the Nanyang natives to feed the Celestial Army, so as to pacify Rooftop in the future. Get ready! It’s just that the ministers in the DPRK believe that this move is against the teachings of the saints and are strongly opposed to it.”

"His insistence on sending troops is false, and he wants to take the opportunity to expand the naval force. He has told me this several times before, and even brought a few drawings, all of which were about shipbuilding methods, but I was not sure. Do you know why?"

"I don't know, I don't know." How could Eunuch Wei not know, but there are some things that he cannot say.

Li Kun smiled slightly and said: "Half a year ago, Mr. Ma was seriously ill and resigned from the position of prime minister. At that time, I wanted Qiu Qing to take that position, but later gave it to Cen Bo because of my consideration. He is about to die soon, so I will leave this opportunity to the prince. Similarly, he will also be responsible for expanding the navy. I was originally worried that he would be resistant, but now he highly respects Qiu Qing's teachings. I want to come. In the future, he should comply with Qiu Qing’s advice for some time.”

Hearing this, Eunuch Wei wanted to speak again, but Li Kun raised his hand and shook his head: "You don't have to judge for him. How can I not know the prince's temperament? His ears are very soft. When someone talks about it, it is easy for him to say something." It will change his mind, so he will not always obey Qiu Qing. When he has other thoughts, it will be the day Qiu Qing resigns. What a pity. "

Eunuch Wei couldn't help but persuaded: "With Qiu Shangshu's talent and learning, even if he only stays in the court for ten years, he will be able to benefit the world."

Li Kun shook his head and said: "I naturally know that what I am worried about is not that the court cannot retain Qiu Qing, but that after Qiu Qing returns to his hometown, he will concentrate on his studies. When the way of knowledge and practice spreads to the world, I am afraid that the court will no longer be able to control it. ”

There was a lingering air of twilight in his words.

Eunuch Wei was shocked, and then shook his head, understanding the emperor's intention. It was a pity that if the emperor could live for a few more years, there might be a way, but now...

………………

The next day, the sun rises.

Prince Li Yan hurriedly left the palace with a few followers and went to a large courtyard on the outskirts of the city. (To be continued)
