Chapter 253 It is difficult to conquer the world and it is even harder to rule the world
The old man in black shook his head heavily, his brows furrowed further, and he said earnestly: "Your Majesty, do you know that if you want to rule the world, you need to die? How many people?”
“Of course I know that many people will die, but how can a man be so merciful?
What’s more, only unification will make the world better,” Zhu Houzhao said proudly. road.
"Yes, unification does seem to be better for the world. For this, even if some people die, it is worth it." The old man in black nodded, and the next moment, he changed his words: "But , It is difficult to conquer the world, and it is even harder to govern the world.
Your Majesty, after unifying the world, how will you manage these huge mountains and rivers?
It is tens of thousands of miles long from east to west, and is isolated by the sea.
The north and south are also about 20,000 miles apart.
How do you manage such a huge territory with a population of nearly 200 million? "
Zhang Sanfeng frowned and looked thoughtfully at the old man in black and then at Zhu Houzhao, feeling a little more curious in his heart.
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he became more interested. He thought about it seriously and said domineeringly: "Of course, we should appoint good officials to govern various places, generals will lead the troops to guard, and then do a good job of supervision.
Then I, the Ming Dynasty, have enough There are many and strong enough masters. Although the area is large, it can be reached in a few days at most at the speed of the masters. "
Zhang Sanfeng nodded secretly, although it was more general. It seems empty, but there are countless difficulties in it.
But it is indeed a real rough road.
But...
He looked at Zhu Houzhao out of the corner of his eye and frowned.
"What your Majesty said is true. If your Majesty never changes his original intention, it is indeed possible to form effective governance.
However, this must require the central government of the Ming Dynasty to maintain the ability to suppress everything. Power.
Especially the core Emperor Ming, must have the power to rule all of this." The old man in black nodded in agreement, and then changed his words.
"Of course I will always remain true to my original intention, and I will definitely be able to rule." Zhu Houzhao said proudly and confidently.
"Your Majesty is here, and this old man also believes it.
But what if your Majesty is gone?"
The old man in black shook his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao deeply. Zhu Houzhao seemed to realize something and was suddenly startled.
Zhang Sanfeng sighed secretly, this is the biggest problem.
The more powerful the empire, the better the emperor it needs, otherwise it will only collapse and cause greater disasters.
The emperor's lifespan is the shortest.
He knew clearly that the old man in black was trying to induce Zhu Houzhao, but he had no intention of interrupting.
Because the facts do exist.
Because there are many things, Zhu Houzhao can only let him experience, face and think about them by himself.
Zhu Houzhao was the emperor of Ming Dynasty and the one who made the final decision.
More so because he also wanted to hear Zhu Houzhao’s thoughts.
His support of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Houzhao was by no means blind. He could not support it knowing that it was wrong.
For example, the issue of unification, in fact, he didn't think much about it before, because Ming Dynasty has not yet reached that stage, and the Ming Dynasty issue in front of him is the most important.
If those problems are not solved, he prefers not to support it.
Of course, even if Zhu Houzhao can't say anything now and what he says doesn't suit his wishes, he won't be too disappointed.
After all, he is still too young. Any hero needs to grow up step by step. Maybe Zhu Houzhao will figure out a way in the future?
He himself can't think of any good solution, but he is willing to believe that others can come up with it.
Especially a peerless sage like Zhu Houzhao who has not been seen for eternity.
Yes, in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes, Zhu Houzhao was already the best saint to the people.
This was also the biggest reason why he was willing to be on call several times and take action against powerful enemies.
He knew that the same was true for the senior Wuji.
Otherwise, although the power of Zhu Houzhao and the imperial court is getting stronger and stronger, it is not enough to make them afraid and willing to take action for them.
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao was thinking seriously, the voice of the old man in black sounded again, solemnly saying: "Your Majesty, the emperor has inherited the fate of a country. Since ancient times, even in the realm of heaven and man, it has been unable to increase its life span.< br>
Your Majesty, you are a human being, not a god, you will die just the same
What will happen to Daming after you die? "
"If you really unify the world by then, the Ming Dynasty will be extremely glorious, surpassing all dynasties in the past thousands of years.
But such a Ming Dynasty is destined to only surrender to you and belong only to you.
Once you die, you will collapse instantly. "
After saying this in one breath, the old man in black sighed helplessly, looked at Zhu Houzhao, and continued: "Your Majesty, don't say that you will reach the level of heaven and humans and increase your life span.
Since the emergence of the human race, even the ancient gods and humans have not broken through to the level above heaven and humans.
Those gods and men are also only equivalent to the realm of heaven and humans.
This is not something that can be done by manpower, but by the force of heaven and earth.
Just like whales are not allowed to appear in this small river or stream.
This is the law of heaven and earth.
Your Majesty, you are indeed the most amazing martial arts genius in thousands of years, but compared to the laws of heaven and earth, no matter who you are, you are too small.
How can you ensure that you will achieve a breakthrough? Even if he makes a breakthrough, will the realm above heaven and man definitely extend the emperor's lifespan? ”
Zhu Houzhao was not convinced and opened his mouth to say that he would definitely be able to break through, but the last sentence made him swallow it back.
Frowning his brows, he continued to think.
"Your Majesty, don't talk about looking for things that will lead to immortality." The old man in black smiled slightly when he saw this, and then said: "Yes, there are indeed some magical things in this world that can extend people's lifespan.
< br>But none of them can extend the emperor's life, because no matter how magical the spiritual creature is, it cannot withstand the power of the national destiny gathered by hundreds of millions of people.
This is the fate of the emperor."
< br>"In the end, the only path left is to be the successor." The old man in black looked at Zhu Houzhao more seriously, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, can your successor have your strength and ideas for governing the country? ?
I heard that you said that if there is an extremely outstanding person in the Ming Dynasty clan in the future, he can even serve as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future
Oh, this is impossible.
Let’s not talk about the future. Will you change your mind?
If you can really dominate the world, no one other than your son will be able to inherit the throne, no matter how outstanding he is.
Even if he succeeds, will he choose an outstanding clan member instead of his own son to inherit the throne like you? ”
Even if there is an extremely outstanding person among your sons, what about your grandson?
Can we ensure that successors capable of mastering such a glorious Ming Dynasty will appear from generation to generation?
Impossible. "
"Your Majesty, this path of unifying the world is wrong, because even if it is unified, what will happen?
It will soon fall apart again, and the unity that was achieved at a great cost will once again turn into a situation where heroes are divided and warlords fight.
At that time, the people will still suffer.
Your Majesty, you have said personally that the most important thing in Ming Dynasty is the people.
Do you want them to be in that kind of troubled times where the heroes are divided?
Better to be a peace dog than a liar. ”
The heavy voice fell slowly, Zhang Sanfeng was silent, but he was still prepared. No one knew what he was thinking.
Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth several times, wanting to refute, but found that it seemed That makes sense.
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and thought carefully.
What this old guy said makes sense, but is it really right?
He thought little by little, his expression sometimes excited, sometimes distressed, sometimes hesitant, sometimes determined.
As time passed, Zhang Sanfeng and the old man in black were quiet and did not disturb them, leaving Zhu Houzhao to think by himself.
After a long time, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have figured out the last point. He raised his head and stared excitedly at the old man in black, confidently saying: "I figured it out."
The old man in black looked back calmly. He didn't think Zhu Houzhao could do anything good.
Zhang Sanfeng was slightly looking forward to it.
"Old guy, what you said does make some sense, but I want to tell you that I will definitely dominate the world and no one can stop it." Zhu Houzhao said decisively, extremely forcefully.
Waiting for the reaction of the old man in black, he continued to say confidently: "Since you said that no one can suppress the unified Ming Dynasty except me, then I will always be here.
If my lifespan cannot be increased by being above heaven and earth, then there is always a realm that can increase my lifespan.”
The old man in black shook his head with obvious distrust.
Zhu Houzhao didn't need his trust either. He looked domineering and confident and said: "I believe I can definitely do it.
Even if one day I really die and the Ming Dynasty falls apart, it doesn't matter. "
The old man in black and Zhang Sanfeng looked at each other in surprise.
“I forgot who said it, the world and the country are making progress.
I also believe this. For example, a long time ago, the people were slaves, and only the nobles could practice martial arts, study and become officials.
Today, anyone in the Ming Dynasty can practice martial arts, study and become an official.
In the past, the country used bamboo slips which were inconvenient and expensive. Now people can also use paper.
These all represent that the world, the world, and the people are all progressing. ”
Facing the gazes of the two men, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be full of energy, becoming more confident and determined.
"I will unify the world. I will implement the policies of Jin and more policies that are beneficial to the people throughout the world. I will make the people's lives better and better, and abolish many things that oppress the people.
As long as the people's lives get better and the policies that oppress them are abolished, this is progress.
Once progress is made, whoever wants them to regress must face the people and the righteous.
It doesn’t matter if I really die or if the Ming Dynasty falls apart.
As long as progress continues, no, as long as it happens, even if it falls into war, it will be destroyed for a while. It's worth going back.
Because as long as it happens, sooner or later someone will progress back.
This is the progress that will definitely happen in the world and the world. "
The firm words, like a morning bell, rang in the ears of the old man in black and Zhang Sanfeng.
The two thought about these words quickly.
This is them No angle found.
Suddenly, the two people who were ranked among the top in the world in terms of martial arts thought of something.
Heaven!
