Chapter 35: Seeking a great cause, Bai Fan first discusses the emperor
Bai Fan's heart was slightly warm. In fact, although His Majesty Li Er in history had a lot of bad deeds in killing his brother and imprisoning his father, if he could choose to be a good person, would anyone be born to be a bad person?
I'm afraid that on the eve of Xuanwu Gate in history, Li Shimin still couldn't make up his mind to kill him!
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the King of Qin as a general of Tiance, holding 70% of the military power of the Tang Dynasty. If he imitated Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty, what would happen if he could imitate the later generations of the Song Dynasty? However, from the fourth year of Wude to the nine years of Wude, he chose to tolerate the struggle for the crown prince. His confidant generals were alienated by foreigners, civil officials were suppressed by the underworld, and Li Shimin was tolerant.
Until the ninth year of Wude, the situation was really urgent. At the suggestion of Changsun Wuji and others, they had to do the Xuanwu Sect, saying it was a suggestion. In fact, who could say that this was not another kind of force from everyone under his command?
Bai Fan advised Li Shimin, who was in anger, "If Your Highness raises a knife against his subordinates, he will be called a murderer indiscriminately, which will only be worse. Therefore, people in the world are unpredictable, and conspiracies are even more difficult to guard against. What we can do is to prevent before it happens and not give others an opportunity to take advantage of it!
So it depends on Your Highness. The counselor of the Qin Prince's Mansion is responsible for conspiring to plot against His Highness, but Your Highness, you must keep your heart and be responsible for secretly protecting your brother! If you are not careful in one move, we will lose at the starting point for the great cause of all generations!"
Li Shimin was puzzled. He still couldn't imagine what Bai Fan said about the great cause of eternity means!
"Dalang, although I have tried my best to imagine the future in the long run, I still can't see through what you said about the great cause of the ages. Why do you say that? You must know that there are countless people who have fought and bleeded for the throne throughout the ages!"
Ha ha ha ha!
Bai Fan laughed, "The King of Qin is a mystery to the authorities! Since you know that there are so many people like this, have you ever thought about the fate of these people? Not to mention the distant ones, Yang Guang, the former Emperor of Sui Dynasty, conspired to harm his brother for the throne, and Yang Guang died in a bad life, and died in the second generation of the former Sui Dynasty! How similar is this to the Great Qin Dynasty in that year?
The great cause in Fan’s heart may not be allowed to allow the King of Qin to see the real thing with his own eyes for the time being, but if anyone dares to say it, he will definitely surpass the Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty!
The reason why we cannot lose at the starting line is because since the King of Qin wants to be an emperor, he must set an example for future royal families. If you have been following the corpses of your brothers from the beginning, then your son and grandson will follow each other in the future. Just imagine, if the one who finally gets the throne in the future is the strongest among each generation of royal families, it is easy to say, at least it is considered to be the best choice!
But if a generation was conspired to find an incompetent person and do things that would take the emperor to command the world? By then, the emperor was too weak and the royal family died, then the Li family would be like the previous dynasties, and it would be a flash in the pan, at most hundreds of years of glory!"
After listening calmly, Li Shimin became more and more like this the more he thought about it. Not only did he sweat coldly, but if he hadn't met Bai Fan to solve his doubts, wouldn't he fall into the strange circle of dynasty like countless senior emperors?
Fortunately, now that I have seen all this clearly, I still have a chance to prepare for the future!
Li Shimin praised: "In ancient times, Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, could flourish the Han Dynasty for four hundred years. Today, I will meet Dalang. I only knew what a real talent is. Dalang said that he could help me, Li's family enjoy the foundation of the ages. It seems that it is not a false statement!
This king has many talented people, including Fu Ji, Xuan Ling, Ke Ming and others, who are all great talents in planning the country. They thought it was the ultimate, but unexpectedly, Dalang had already seen through history and the rise and fall of dynasties, and admired it!"
Bai Fan was not humble in his praise of Li Shimin, but continued to speak seriously: "Although Fan felt a little guilty about being praised by the King of Qin, he could be so proud of it, because in this Tang Dynasty, he had never been afraid of others!"
Li Shimin laughed loudly, OK! I sang wildly to the sky, who is the heroic hero for me? In this way, I can show my true nature!
"I don't know what the emperor is in Dalang's eyes?" Li Shimin asked. In fact, he had no idea. It was the first time he met such a madman. He laughed at the rise and fall of the dynasty in his eyes as casual as eating and drinking water. He might be only one of the emperors in the future, so he deliberately asked.
OK! The King of Qin asked this question, and today I will be honest about my predecessors!
"Since ancient times, the Three Emperors ruled the Five Emperors and Dingluns, our human race could get rid of fighting with forest beasts and say goodbye to the fact that we were hungry and unfilled. At that time, our human race's territory was only the size of a state today, and it was on both sides of the Yellow River on Henan Road now!
Later, from the beginning of Emperor Yu’s founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, a family of one surname appeared in the world!
Later, it was the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. In the eight hundred years of Jiang Ziya's rise to Zhou, a total of 1,800 years have passed! During this period, there were many generations of emperors.
Later, the First Emperor of Qin appeared and unified the world, and he was named emperor!
After the fall of Qin II, there was a dispute between Chu and Han and Han, and after the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped power once in the middle!
Later, in the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms, how many kings were there? East and West Jin, later the Five Barbarians invaded China, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Song Qi, Liang and Chen, until the former Emperor Wen of Sui unified the whole country.
Looking at the time of the Three Emperors to the Tang Dynasty, the number of emperors appeared in the long river of history of 4,000 years, just like the number of sands in the Ganges River!
But there are not many people who can truly be recognized by the world, and even fewer people can remember them!"
Li Shimin was convinced. He didn't expect that Bai Fan was so familiar with history. In this regard, he was definitely the number one person in the world!
"In Bai Fan's opinion, when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were the emperors at that time, they should be the leader of our human race, leading our human race to overcome obstacles and resist dangers and seek survival. Therefore, the human race at that time called it the "common ruler"! They are the generation that deserves the most admiration of the ordinary!"
"Yes, my human ancestors are admirable, and they should be remembered by future generations!" Li Shimin said admiringly.
"Later, after the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, except for the founding king, who was for unity, to end tyranny, and to end troubled times, and to have a little merit, the other generations of emperors should not be called emperor in the eyes of anyone!
Just like the Zhou emperor during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, what is the meaning of those generations of name but not reality? The word "Chinese" began in the Spring and Autumn Period, "the crown and garment are called Hua, and the great country is called Xia", which means referring to the princes and citizens of the Central Plains! Since then, our tribesmen have called themselves China, and the rest of the foreign countries are barbarians!
Later, the First Emperor of Qin was able to end the disputes between the countries since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period with unification, ended the sufferings of the people, and was the first contribution after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the First Emperor building the Great Wall to resist the barbarians’ iron hooves to protect our Chinese people. For this matter alone, First Emperor Ying Zheng can deserve the title of guardian of our Chinese people!
Later, Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Huns in the north and promoted our power and all directions. Only then did the foreign barbarians realize that our Huaxia people and heavenly powers cannot be violated. Since then, we often call ourselves Han people! Therefore, Emperor Wu of Han is in the heart of ordinary people, and that is the guardian god who has shown power among the Chinese emperors!
It is precisely because of him that we can regard ourselves as the kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom for nearly a thousand years later!
So, Your Highness, what is the emperor Bai Fan? Fan can only say that except for what Fan said above, the other emperors, in Fan's eyes, are at best just a gatekeeper in China!
The good guards of the gate are called wise kings. If they have left their remaining strength to enjoy wealth and honor, they will bring endless suffering to the Chinese people. For example, after the Western Jin Dynasty, our tribe members were massacred by barbarians and only a few million were left. They almost destroyed their races. Many tribes were cooked and eaten by barbarians as "two-legged sheep"! The word "Nine-Nine-Empty" originated from this time.
Whenever I think about it, everyone is heartbroken. The King of Jin Dynasty is simply a dog guarding the household! No, even a dog is worse than a dog!"
Bang! Li Shimin slapped the cases in front of him with a palm, and his hair and hair were all open, "Well, it's said! It's like such an incompetent person who has caused countless people in my tribe, and he doesn't deserve to be a dog!"
Chapter completed!
