Chapter 2806 I Am the King of Men

The king must conquer first. The king must have the strongest strength and the largest territory. This is the real king!

A king must be accustomed to making his own rules and break the king's knot in his heart. This is the king.

But different kings always have different fates and understandings of kings.

The general trend of the world is that if it is divided for a long time, it will be reunited and if it is combined for a long time, it will be divided.

Even the Tang Dynasty, which was at its peak, still had its ups and downs. There was only one emperor in the world, and everyone wanted to reach the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

During the reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Jiedushi rebelled and failed. Xianzong filled the Jiedushi's concubines into the harem, and Zheng was one of them.

After she entered the palace, she worked as a maid for the imperial concubine. In an accident, she was favored by Xianzong. Unexpectedly, Zheng not only became pregnant but also gave birth to a son for Xianzong! After Xianzong got this son, he was very happy. He named him Li Chen and named him King of Light.

The harem has always been a place of right and wrong, with constant overt and covert fights and conspiracies. The Zheng family has no backer in the palace. Queen Guang and her son have been living in fear. Even so, King Guang was frightened during a palace incident and gave birth to a child. He became seriously ill and became a fool!

The idiot King of Light became the object of ridicule.

However, Wu Zong, who inherited the throne, did not think so. Wu Zong thought that King Guang was pretending to be crazy and acting stupid to make everyone relax their vigilance, so he made murderous attempts on King Guang many times, such as making him fall off his horse, burying him in a snowdrift, and even tying him up and throwing him into the toilet. .

As a result, the fool King Guang was lucky enough to still hold back and not die!

Before Wu Zong killed King Guang, he became seriously ill and died. When he died, he originally wanted his son to inherit the throne, but the eunuchs disagreed and agreed that the fool Li Chen was the best candidate, so that he could be controlled easily. no?

As a result, King Guang, who had been stupid for thirty-six years, became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in a daze. The eunuchs thought that after becoming the emperor, this fool could use the emperor's name to dominate and prosper.

But he never expected that after King Guang became emperor, he immediately became shrewd and capable. The first thing he did was to take back the imperial power in his hands, kill the domineering eunuchs, and start working hard to govern and do good.

National affairs were reorganized, and the Tang Dynasty was revived again! And the King of Light became the master of ZTE.

But after King Guang ascended the throne in the 95th year, eradicated the national traitors, and revived the Tang Dynasty, he would often think about it while sitting in his chair. God will not let you down if you work hard, and you can swallow Wu with three thousand Yuejia!

If you want to be a king, you must have wisdom and have the power of a king. But when the power is not in your hands, you need to hide your strength and bide your time, hiding in the abyss. Once the wind and clouds come together and the power is in hand, you should take advantage of the trend and rise and rule the world. .

The change of dynasties has always been an eternal theme. The Tang Dynasty at its peak, the Yuan Dynasty with the largest territory, and Alex the fastest conqueror have all become history. A huge dynasty has never existed for long.

Above the earth and under the sky, kings are constantly changing.

Talents have emerged from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years.

Various kings appear alternately, some are diligent, some are absurd, some are brave, some are weak, some are powerful, but there are also some who have lost their royal power.

Many kings of all kinds are thinking about this question when their lives are about to end, king? What is it? What kind of way should the royal way be?

The Song Dynasty was a relatively moderate dynasty. Its territory was not very large and its national power was not very strong.

Zhao Zhen was the fourth emperor. When he took office, the country was peaceful and the people were at peace. He was generous and benevolent, knew people and assigned them well, and many of his benevolent and righteous deeds became a good talk.

Once, in early autumn, officials offered clams. Renzong asked where he got it, and his ministers replied that it was brought from afar. And asked how many spiritual stones are needed? When he answered that there were twenty-eight in total, Zhao Zhen was shocked and said: "I often tell you to save money. Now eating a few clams will cost twenty-eight spiritual stones. I can't eat them!"

So, he didn't eat.

Another day, he was dealing with affairs until late at night. He was tired and hungry. He wanted to eat a bowl of hot mutton soup, but he endured his hunger and did not say it. The next day, the queen knew about it and advised him: "Your Majesty has worked hard day and night. If you want to eat mutton soup, please take care of yourself. Just ask the chef at any time. How can you endure hunger and cause harm to your majesty's dragon body? "

He said to the queen: "If you ask for it casually in the palace, it will be regarded as a routine by the outside world. If I had eaten mutton soup last night, the imperial chef would kill them every night. Hundreds of them will be required in a year. It has become a rule. In the future, the number of slaughters will be unbearable." Calculated, a bowl of food for me creates such a bad example and harms living creatures, which is unbearable, so I would rather endure hunger for a while."

What a good man!

Once, he was walking and looked back from time to time. None of his followers knew what the emperor was doing. After returning to the palace, he anxiously said to the concubine: "I am very thirsty, please bring me some water." The concubine felt strange and asked him, "Why don't you let your entourage serve you with water when you are outside, but you have to endure your thirst?" Woolen cloth."

He said, "I turned around many times, but I didn't see them preparing a kettle. If I had asked, someone would have been punished, so I endured my thirst and came back to drink water."

Many palace maids and eunuchs were deeply moved after hearing this!

There was a minister with a charcoal face and a crescent moon on his forehead. When he spoke, his spittle flew all over people's faces.

He felt that the minister acted impartially and did not help the relatives, so he appointed the minister to supervise the censors and admonishers.

As a result, this guy repeatedly violated Yan Zhijian, and spittle flew into his face. He wiped his face with his sleeve while accepting his advice.

As a result, one time, the son-in-law Chen Shimei was caught by a minister and his head was chopped off by a guillotine!

Well, he had to swallow his anger!

In his later years, he often thought about what the kingly way was, and whether his own was the kingly way, unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, and the world admired him. Is this the true meaning of the kingly way?

After his death, it seemed that everyone in the court and the country was crying and mourning. After his obituary was sent to the Liao Kingdom, the King of Liao actually cried bitterly, saying: "I haven't seen war for 42 years."

He also said: "I want to build a tomb for him to express my grief.

At that time, he was thinking, is this what it means to "leave a name for eternity"? The people support him, the enemy country also mourns him, is he a benevolent king?

Is the benevolent king what I pursue?

Is the root of the kingly way "benevolence"? However, the heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as straw dogs, and the saints are not benevolent and treat the people as straw dogs. What does it mean?

Is the kingly way the benevolent way? It seems that he has already understood that the kingly way is not benevolent and treats the people as ants.

In a trance, he seemed to have returned to ancient times with a trace of will. In the past, he came to a place called "Shangqiu".

What he couldn't understand was that at this moment, human survival seemed very difficult. People hunted for necessities with rough stone tools, ate raw animal meat or raw plant roots or leaves, and wore animal skins or objects woven with plants. They used stones and other weapons to resist the invasion of wild beasts. Because of raw food, people were easily harmed by diseases and their lifespan was extremely short...

He was thinking, can't people make fire? But soon, he saw continuous forest fires. But people didn't know fire, they regarded it as a monster, regarded fire as an ominous sign, walked around fire, and lived away from fire.

But he knew He believed that fire was something that humans needed, so when others avoided fire, he often lived in places with fire. When others picked up small animals that were burned to death and threw them away, he found that the small animals that were burned to death always tore some meat and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully...

His strange behavior was not understood by others, but when he led people to resist the cold in places with fire, when he led people to roast food with fire and eat more corpses, he was gradually admired by others, and gradually, he was called a wise man.

The wise man knew fire and knew the wide range of uses of fire. But fire in the forest is not everywhere, and it exists at any time. In the past, no matter how big the forest fire was, it would eventually go out.

When the fire went out, in order to enable humans to find and use fire everywhere and at all times, the wise man began to explore the difficult method of artificial fire making. After thousands of experiments, he finally succeeded.

One day, he found some dry and thin wood to make a drill board, and then found a suitable branch to make a drill bit. He drilled a small inverted "V"-shaped groove on the edge of the drill board, put flammable tinder and dead leaves under the drill board, and then drilled with both hands.

Green smoke gradually rose, the tinder began to burn, and a small flame, flickering with orange-yellow light, illuminated the night sky of Shangqiu where he lived...
