Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 375 Times have changed, and the world has changed dramatically!
Xia Dynasty Palace.

in the hall.

At this time, a group of people were arguing in the hall.

The number of people was not large, only five.

But anyone who is slightly familiar with the Xia Dynasty should understand how much authority the few people in the hall have in the Xia Dynasty.

It is no exaggeration to say that with one stamp of his feet, the entire Xia Dynasty would tremble.

The third emperor of the Xia Dynasty, Emperor Qizhi, is also here.

Wang Mang, the first and founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty, did not have a reign title.

Even the current year of the Xia Dynasty is not divided by an era name, but simply the third year of the Xia Dynasty, 130.

But after Emperor Qizhi's father, Emperor Taiping, came to the throne, he simply established "Taiping" as the reign name. Of course, the more accurate role of this reign name was to separate him from Wang Mang, rather than using the actual reign title. .

The reason why Emperor Taiping did this was not only to tell the world that the emperor had been changed, but that the original founding emperor had gone to the west.

It was also to tell himself that he could become emperor only by inheriting the efforts of the previous generation.

Peace and peace, undertake peace.

Although Emperor Taiping's reign was not very long, when he was in power, Emperor Taiping still advocated Wang Mang's original policies, recuperating and recuperating, and bringing peace to the world. He did not make drastic and deliberate reforms. He just moved forward based on the foundation laid by Wang Mang. After taking a few steps, everything was done smoothly and without any further trouble.

In this way, he can be called a pretty good guardian, but it does not mean that he has insulted the throne of the Xia Dynasty, and he has lived up to the expectations of the people.

Although not as good as Wang Mang, there are still some praises among the people.

As the third emperor of the Xia Dynasty, Emperor Qizhi is no longer young anymore.

The reign name he chose for himself was Qizhi.

Dad Chengping, he wants Qizhi.

The meaning is self-explanatory.

After two generations of kings and more than a hundred years of rest and recuperation, the Xia Dynasty has become truly wealthy. It is no longer the country that it was in the past on the devastated land of Dayue.

How powerful is the Xia Dynasty today?

Even if you go to an ordinary village, you can see horses walking on the ground!

The Xia Dynasty was so wealthy that ordinary people dared to buy horses and raise them.

Although there is no guarantee that each person will have a horse, at least one of the ten households can afford horses, and needless to say, there will only be more cattle. This is definitely an incredible achievement.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Xia Dynasty has reached its peak in terms of prosperity.

The surrounding countries all bowed their heads and gave up three points, ignoring what was a rolling apology.

Even the people of the Xia Dynasty, whether they are doing business or traveling, who dares not to take a high look at them?
Not long ago, a Confucian scholar from the Xia Dynasty went to Dayong to provide relief. On the way, he encountered robbers in the mountains. He was about to be beheaded. However, someone recognized his Confucian scholar's clothes. When he asked again, he turned out to be a Confucian scholar from the Xia Dynasty. He was immediately released. , not only lost a horse, but also gave him some silver as a gift, just asking him not to pursue it.

The Xia Dynasty is now so powerful that you no longer need to brag about it. Even the forest robbers, who regard the national law as nothing, do not dare to underestimate it at all, and can only treat it with respect.

The so-called virtues from all directions, and the coming of all nations to the DPRK, are they just empty talk?

Every year, countless foreign students travel across thousands of mountains and rivers, fearless of wind, rain, and difficult roads, just to rush to the imperial capital of the Xia Dynasty.

After arriving at the imperial capital, he knelt all the way just to worship the statue of Mo Qiu.

Of course, some Mohists have criticized this behavior several times, but they still cannot stop the group of people from worshiping it so enthusiastically.

Whether it is the country's wealth or the Xia Dynasty's influence on dozens of surrounding countries and even further countries, they have reached unprecedented peaks!
Although this may not have much to do with Emperor Qizhi, since such prosperity occurred during his reign, he must take [-]% of the credit!
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Qizhi has always been quite arrogant, and he also has the qualifications to be arrogant.

As the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Ok?
Who dares to have an opinion? !

But now, in this Xia Dynasty palace.

The person who was supposed to be the most respected and prominent was standing in front of an old man with a smile on his face.

There was only one person sitting there in the entire hall.

The man looked very old, with old wrinkles stacked up on his face, like dry tree bark, and dark age spots stacked up on one side of his cheeks, making him look quite ugly.

Only those eyes were not as cloudy and chaotic as those of an elderly man.

On the contrary, those eyes were particularly sharp, as sharp as an unsheathed sword, making Emperor Qizhi afraid to look directly at them.

He could only stand aside with a smile on his face, his face full of flattery. How could he still have the arrogant attitude of the Emperor of Xia Dynasty?

"Oh, why are you here? If you want to see me, I can just go find you."

Emperor Qi Zhi stood beside the old man, his almost flattering voice made everyone around him unable to help but feel a hint of chill.

But after thinking about the methods of the old man in front of them, they still lowered their heads and tried hard to maintain the expression on their faces. They did not dare to show any smile. They wanted to bury their heads in their chests for fear of being noticed by the old man's eyes. arrive.

This master dared to kill more than 1000 Confucian scholars in one go. Why did he lower his head?
It’s okay to knock on one if necessary!
Since Mr. Xun, the Confucian leader, traveled around the country, the entire Xia Dynasty could not find anyone who could make him bow his head.

Emperor Qizhi also has to go back a little bit. He can become emperor only because of this person’s nod!

This man is an imperial master, an old man from two dynasties, and is at the pinnacle of power.

When Emperor Taiping was in power, he was his right-hand man. When Emperor Qizhi was in power, he was even more powerful and became the purple golden beam that supported the Xia Dynasty. He was equivalent to Xun Ke, Qin Li Sheng, and Gong Shang Guo in the past. status!
Even now, at least [-]% of the officials in the entire Xia Dynasty came directly from his sect, and the remaining [-]% have definitely received the teachings of this master and are inextricably linked to him.

Perhaps Emperor Qizhi didn't even know about the temple affairs, but he knew about it first, and no one dared to make a fuss about it.

That's not asking for trouble, that's not wanting to live anymore.

As we all know, since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, the emperor has never been the most powerful one.

Emperor Qizhi didn't even dare to say that his achievements surpassed those of the previous two emperors, so naturally he didn't dare to put on airs in front of such a figure - he would be glad if the other party didn't put on airs for him.

People cannot be generalized, and the emperor sometimes has to play grandson.

"You're doing great."

Faced with Emperor Qizhi's flattery, the old man did not pay attention immediately, but locked his eyes tightly with Emperor Qizhi. It was not until Emperor Qizhi lowered his head and did not dare to look at him that he slowly said: " He betrayed his promise, betrayed his promise, and allowed the prince to corrupt the laws and regulations of the Xia Dynasty established by us."

The old man laughed, and his smile was obviously extremely warm, but it made people feel as if they were falling into an ice cave, just because he said: "Compared with you, Emperor Taiping and the founding emperor are inferior by three points, I feel ashamed!"

"This, this, this!"

In an instant, Emperor Qizhi's face turned pale.

No matter how proud he is, he can only compare with his father, but he dare not risk his life to compare with the holy king and the founding ancestor of the country!
Cold sweat dripped from his cheeks. Emperor Qizhi knew that the old man was really angry and said quickly: "Don't say that. Misunderstandings and misunderstandings are all misunderstandings!"

"Misunderstand?"

The smile on the old man's face became more and more warm, but it didn't make people feel friendly, it only made people feel scared!

"Prince Yu has deducted tens of thousands of tons of food sent to various countries. Don't you want to tell me that it was because Prince Yu had no money to eat that he made this move? Or maybe he was greedy for profit and wanted to take this opportunity to rebel, right? "

The old man leaned on his crutch and tapped on the ground.

He didn't use much force, but at this time, in the extremely quiet hall, it seemed particularly clear.

Prince Yu is the younger brother of Emperor Qizhi, a compatriot from the same mother, and he is also a man of some ability.

When Emperor Taiping asked him to choose the emperor, he was actually choosing between two people.

He chose Emperor Qizhi.

As for Emperor Qizhi's younger brother, he was naturally made a prince and left to the frontier to enjoy himself.

Although he could no longer involve power, he never caused trouble to Emperor Qizhi. He even traveled thousands of miles to the imperial capital twice every year just to have an audience - the time spent on the road alone lasted several months. !

Such a prince suddenly deducted ten thousand tons of grain.

"I'm just old, not blind."

The old man lowered his eyes slightly, and his voice was not high-pitched. No matter what he said, it seemed to be in the same tune, but the words he said always made people tremble, "Since the emperor does not know about this, then please You deal with it according to national law."

Discuss national law!

As soon as these words came out, even the sound of breathing in the entire hall froze. Not only could you hear a pin drop, but you could not wait to lie dead.

Who doesn't know that Emperor Qizhi and Prince Yu have a very good relationship, and there is no gap at all. He said this purely to disgust Emperor Qizhi, but Emperor Qizhi didn't have any solution yet.

Damn it, the national law of the Xia Dynasty was compiled by this man, Xun Ke, and Prime Minister Cang. What does the national law look like? There is each other’s hard work behind every word. No one in the entire Xia Dynasty knows the law better than him. .

Because he was the Legalist leader of the Xia Dynasty, a disciple of Xunzi, Shang!
Important ministers of the two dynasties, the pillars of the country!
Since the Confucian leader Xunzi traveled around the country, even Prime Minister Cang only restrained the other party while he was in power.

After Prime Minister Cang resigned, the Xia Dynasty could not say that it was the other party's fault, it could only be said that he followed his lead.

No, Emperor Qizhi secretly ordered something extremely secretive, and even directly asked his brother to do something. Three days have not passed, and the other party has already found the palace!

The emperor could only lower his head and listen to the instructions.

People cannot be compared.

This kind of great sage is almost as good as Xun Ke and Qin Li Sheng Duo. He is also a great man who founded a sect and established a sect. His main focus is true talent and hard work. He has countless disciples and grandsons, all of whom hold important positions in the court.

It’s too late to offer!

Ordinary people, let alone arguing or making noise, would want to hide in the dirt just by looking at the other person's eyes.

Unless the Confucian leader or the Mohist giant who travels around the country comes back, he will really scold whomever he wants throughout the Xia Dynasty, and he will scold whomever he wants, and the emperor will have to be in front of him and listen!

Being so forced by the other party, Emperor Qizhi's face turned green and red, but he did not dare to refute directly.

What to refute?
Refuting the Confucian leader Xun Ke, refuting the Xia Dynasty Prime Minister Cang, refuting the laws agreed upon by the Legalist leaders as unreasonable?

When the legalist hawks and dogs are gone, or when all the Confucian scholars are dead?

If you say this today, tomorrow the spitting outside will flood the palace!
He no longer needs to ask for praise from the Holy Lord and Mingzhu. It would be more appropriate to just think about how to avoid being infamy for thousands of years.

Alas, being an emperor is both afraid of not meeting great talents, and also afraid of meeting world-shaking great talents. This is the so-called pain and happiness!
"That's a bad word."

When Emperor Qizhi could only avoid his sharp edge and remain silent, a person next to Emperor Qizhi stood up, looked directly into Shang's sharp sword-like eyes, and said without giving in: "Prince Yu is like this There is a reason for doing it."

"Oh?"

Shang was contradicted, but he wasn't angry at all. He just smiled, looking at the person who was speaking as if he were looking at a three-year-old child showing off, "I wonder if Wei Da Sima, the Minister of War and the grand master of the Xia Dynasty, has any advice?"

The nickname of the Minister of War is Da Sima.

When he read it at this time, it was not respectful, but more like ridicule.

Wei Da Sima's face was stern. He was a great master. Although the old man in front of him was very famous in the temple, his martial arts skills were really mediocre and he didn't even practice the internal organs.

That is to say, the other party relied on his status as Xunzi's disciple and expected that he would not dare to take action. Otherwise, how could he dare to speak to a master like this!
Others are afraid of him, but he is not.

A master acts in his life, why should he look at other people's faces?
A martial arts master is so confident!

An old man like this who is over [-] years old can be killed directly with just one breath of his breath. It is his turn to point fingers!
"This matter is so simple, how could the leader of Legalism not think of it? As a disciple of Xunzi, the Legalism you founded is extremely ruthless, and you should not be very benevolent. How come you deliberately pretend not to know about this matter? "Da Sima Wei knew that when it came to discussing legal principles and even laws, the entire Xia Dynasty might not be able to match him, but it didn't matter.

We are warriors!
Wu Fu doesn't care about those things!
Big fists make sense.

But now, Xia Chao happens to be the biggest one, far bigger than any other country around, and even the whole country is not big enough for Xia Chao to fight.

What's more, no country was spared from the previous natural disasters, but the Xia Dynasty was built on the hard work of the two emperors, which was extremely strong. Although there were some injuries, it was not a break at all.

But other countries were far less powerful than the Xia Dynasty.

An extremely large-scale earthquake that affected the whole country would take at least ten years of training and it would not be possible to recover.

At this time, why are you talking to me about benevolence, justice and morality?

What a waste of this God-given opportunity!
If you are really stupid at reading, you are not as straightforward as a martial artist like him.

Sima Wei said directly without hesitation: "At this time, Dayong, Daqi and other countries suffered heavy casualties, and their national strength fell to a low point. At this time, they turned to the Xia Dynasty for help. Why did the Xia Dynasty help them?

If the people of Dayong, Daqi and other countries were under the leadership of the Xia Dynasty, how could they starve to death?The greatest benevolence at this time is not to provide food and help their people.Instead, they uprooted the incompetent emperors and brought them directly to the Xia Dynasty!

This is the only way to truly treat both the symptoms and the root cause!
But now?Helping countries. Yes, the Xia Dynasty had a lot of money, and they didn't mind helping those people who were in dire straits and suffering.

The problem is that we could have done better, so why should we rest on our laurels and instead let those who have nothing to do but take charge of a huge territory? "

Wei Da Sima patted his chest and said coldly: "I am a rough man, but I also understand the principle of long-term pain and short-term pain.

And you are already old!

Still acting with the same ideas as before!
Look at the world today, is there any country around that can compete with the Xia Dynasty?
If they go together, they are definitely no match for Xia Chao! "

Such an impassioned speech cannot be described as high-spirited and intense.

Even though he is a martial artist, he obviously does not understand everything, otherwise he would not be able to reach the level of a master.

What he said at this time was very reasonable, even Emperor Qizhi was nodding secretly.

If he wants to start his ambition, what should he start?
The world is in harmony!

The prosperity of Xia Dynasty has reached its peak.

He could not make more meritorious deeds than the previous two emperors in the Xia Dynasty.

In other words, in the Xia Dynasty, it had reached the limit of what it could do.

Continuing to hold the same idea will only add to it.

But is it really insurmountable or even comparable?

not necessarily.

In addition to making the people rich and powerful, there is also a true road to kingship ahead.

Expand your territory! ! !
Even if the sin is temporary, the merit will last forever!
I believe that future generations will give him a fair evaluation, and it is even possible that he can stand shoulder to shoulder with the founding emperor!

Even if this causes some temporary criticism of him in the country, more than a hundred years later, future generations will definitely praise his prompt decision-making.

Those people who have returned to live under the rule of the Xia Dynasty and live and work in peace and contentment will not regard their ancestors as a tyrant because of their temporary suffering. Instead, they will be especially grateful for the opportunity to live and work in peace and contentment in the Xia Dynasty!

But the prerequisite for doing all this is that he must first climb the mountains in Xia Dynasty.

For example, Mohism’s universal love and non-aggression.

For example, Confucian ethics of benevolence and righteousness.

For example, the leader of the Legalists in front of me is still alive.

As an emperor, face is still important.

It's hard for him to say something, but it doesn't matter, someone will say it for him.

Just like Wei Da Sima in front of him.

As a soldier and a leader of soldiers, the leader of such a powerful country is also a martial arts master!
He did not go to the legendary Buzhou Mountains, but chose to stay in the Xia Dynasty. How could he be a person who covets wealth?
He wants to leave his name in history!

There are so many grandmasters in total, and the mention of the best among the grandmasters is even more brilliant. Their names are filled with vast chapters and magnificent works. Just hearing about them is enough to make people burst into tears and admire them endlessly.

Although a martial arts master can stand proudly in the mortal world, he is just an inconspicuous one among the masters. If compared with him, he pales in comparison and is like a clown.

But it doesn't matter, he still has a chance.

The Xia Dynasty is the best way for him to leave a name in history!

Although he does not have the character of talent, conduct, and strength like Mo Qiu, Xun Ke, and Qin Li Sheng, it still doesn't matter. He has the power of a master and the insight into battle.

In this way, if you can be a marshal and open up new territories, why can't your name be remembered forever?

Anyone who prevents his name from being remembered in history is the enemy.

Neither can the Legalist leaders.

For this reason, he was willing to go his own way despite the infamy of Mohism, Confucianism, and Legalism.

Call me names, I don't care!

After a thousand years, who will remember those who scolded me?
And I, who opened up territory for the Xia Dynasty, will definitely be praised by the world!
By then, who knows if his fame will be on par with Mozi and Xunzi?
For this bright future, he must be the sword in Emperor Qizhi's hands.

If the other party gets his grand ambition and hegemony, he can also be famous throughout the ages, and everyone gets what they need!

"Oh I know what you mean."

Shang nodded lightly. He was not annoyed or angry at being scolded so loudly. He didn't even change his eyes at all. It was as if what the other party said was just a whisper.

"You mean, the Xia Dynasty is so powerful now, why bother talking about benevolence, justice and morality, just kill all the other countries and unify the world.

I said yes or no? "

businessman asked.

"Yes!"

Wei Da Sima nodded affirmatively, full of energy and did not give in at all.

Then Shang's eyes turned to Emperor Qizhi, who was standing with his hands down. Ever since Wei Da Sima spoke, he had been silent, and asked: "Do you also mean this?"

"."

Emperor Qizhi said nothing.

At this time, no answer is the best answer.

He has made his choice.

Save people in other countries?
It's not that it's impossible, but why can't other countries be included in the Xia Dynasty and then be rescued?

The grand plan for hegemony is just around the corner, and there are even more God-given opportunities, even if you violate the precepts of your ancestors!
"what."

Shang laughed again. He laughed so hard that his whole body trembled, even to the point of heartbreaking.

Emperor Qizhi, who was so frightened that he was shrinking his head like an ostrich, had to raise his head and support him with both hands, for fear that Shang's laughter would be too fierce and he would die.

If Ruoxiao died in the main hall, he couldn't even wash himself away by jumping into the Yuan River!
"You you!"

Shang Xiao was out of breath, but he still stretched out his fingers that were already extremely dry, pointed at Emperor Qizhi, and said with a smile: "You think you are the only one who is smart? You are the only one who wants to open up borders?" Tutu? Do you know that the Xia Dynasty was powerful? Are you smarter than the late emperor and the founding emperor?
Or do you think that I, Master Xun, and even Prime Minister Cang are all fools for not thinking of this? "

Can't take this.

No matter who it is, he cannot insult or question it.

Therefore, there are too many great talents in the world, and sometimes being an emperor also has a headache.

Since it was difficult to refute, Emperor Qizhi could only keep a straight face and listen to Shang's ridicule.

"Have you forgotten the teachings of your ancestors?"

Shang stretched out a hand and grabbed the collar of Emperor Qi Zhi's dragon robe in an extremely unceremonious manner - even for his status, this was a huge act of transcendence!

Emperor Qizhi gave him face because he admired his contribution to the Xia Dynasty, not because he really wanted to treat him as his grandfather.

Shang stood up from the chair angrily. The wrinkles on his old face were stacked together, like an angry lion, questioning the current emperor of the Xia Dynasty.

"Have you-did you forget what he said?"

Those sword-like sharp edges finally came out of their sheaths, slashing like a divine sword, and exploding like spring thunder, beating people's hearts!

As the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, Emperor Qizhi could certainly understand from the layers of packaging how the throne of the Xia Dynasty came to be. He, the emperor of the Xia Dynasty, was qualified to know all the secrets.

But knowing is knowing.

It’s different in the past.

As the saying goes, times change.

It is now the 130th year of the Xia Dynasty, and that existence has long since passed away!

How can what he said be used now?

Can he still see the changes today?
It doesn’t matter if future generations make small corrections!

This does not mean that people should be discouraged. It should be said that they should adapt to the changes of the times and choose the side that is most beneficial to the Xia Dynasty!
"That being has left. If he stayed behind, how can it still be counted after so many years?! I think you are really old and confused!"

Emperor Qizhi's face also darkened. He was pulled by the collar and reprimanded, and he even quoted a sentence from more than a hundred years ago to reprimand him. No matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ha, you don't want to admit it now?

If he comes back and sees the Xia Dynasty become what you want it to be, what dignity will you give to the late emperor and the founding emperor?

The Xia Dynasty was founded because of him, and now you want to tamper with his words? "

Shang didn't give in at all and slapped Emperor Qizhi in the face with his spit.

"I am the emperor of Xia Dynasty!

It’s not anyone’s turn to give me advice!
Are his words more effective than the imperial edict?
return?

It’s been so many years, he would have come back long ago!

I think [-]% of the time I won’t be able to come back!
So what if you really come back?
Just ask him to come to me directly! "

Emperor Qizhi roared angrily.

After the words fell, a voice floated from far to near outside the hall.

"Oh? I heard that you want to see me?"
