Chapter 415: The Emperor's Art
After Jian Shuo left, Liu Hong beckoned, Zhang Rang bowed over, and called His Majesty softly.
"Father, go and call my two princes, I want to meet them."
After a while, the two princes rushed here.
"Erchen has seen his father." The two princes stepped into the hall and were respectful.
Liu Hong, who was on the dragon couch, raised his hand slightly, Zhang Rang understood, and carefully helped the Son of Heaven to sit up.
His Majesty the Son of Heaven now no longer has the majesty of the past, and his body is so thin that a gust of wind seems to be able to blow him down. Liu Hong, who was sitting on the edge of the couch, gently beckoned to his two sons and asked them to come over, one left and one right, sitting beside him.
Zhang Rang understood His Majesty's thoughts, sent out all the eunuchs and maids serving in the palace, and he also withdrew from the outside of the palace and gently closed the door of the palace from the inside out.
In the already quiet hall, there was no sound at this time.
cough cough ~ cough cough ~
A slight cough broke the silence, and the Son of Heaven, who was dressed in thin clothes, covered his mouth and coughed non-stop.
Liu Wei has always been extremely afraid of Liu Hong, especially since the last time Liu Hong asked him to kill people in the palace, he really didn't dare. At this time, hearing Liu Hong's cough, he was nervous in his heart, and shrank back in fear.
On the side, Liu Xie, who was only six years old, was bold, kneeling on the couch, with a pair of small hands from Liu Hong's back to his back from top to bottom, and asked with concern while passing: "Father, is this better?" ”
Filial piety is priceless.
Liu Hong was quite moved, his heart was comfortable, and after Liu Xie came down, he ordered again: "Go and open the window, I'm a little bored." ”
Liu Xie, who had been ordered, trotted over and pushed open the window.
The sun shines just right, shining on this little boy's body, like an elf, carefree.
Liu Hong summoned his youngest son back and asked him to sit beside him again. Looking at his two sons, Liu Hong slowly asked, "Do you know why I came to you?" ”
The two princes shook their heads at the same time.
"You are all my sons, so after I leave, the world of the Han family should be borne by your brothers in the future." Liu Hong, who knew that his time was short, was sad in his heart and said slowly.
Liu Wei is already a teenager, and he understands the meaning of the phrase 'after I leave'. Liu Xie didn't know, and asked with some curiosity: "Father, where are you going?" ”
Looking at his youngest son's innocent expression, Liu Hong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't tell Liu Xie clearly, but just changed the topic: "Today, I want to teach you the way to be a king." ”
After being an emperor for 20 years, Liu Hong, the emperor's technique, can also be said to have a unique experience, he is afraid that his son will not be able to fight those careerists in the future and become a puppet in the hands of others, so he wants to give them a preventive shot in advance.
How many things rise and fall in the world, not the Yangtze River is rolling.
Liu Hong started the beginning.
"The monarch, the lord of all things among the subjects of the world. However, he is the lord of all things in the world, and he has the heaviest responsibility. ”
"You will be kings in the future, and do not listen to the wind and rain and be deceived by others. Those self-proclaimed loyal and virtuous figures, the so-called pillars of the country, are just reading some high-level sermons and learning some etiquette handouts. Talking about major events in the world, pointing out the country's society, and admonishing each other with death at every turn. As everyone knows, they want to leave a name in history, but it is my country that is messing up! They regard themselves as comparables, but I am not the king of Zhou, is he the only one in the world who is a loyal minister? Good ministers? Virtuous ministers? ”
"The ancients said: the Yangtze River is a river, and the turbid river is a river.
The water of the Yangtze River is clear, the turbid river is turbid, the Yangtze River is flowing, and the turbid river is also flowing.
The saint is out, and the turbid river is clear. But when did the muddy river clear?
The water of the Yangtze River irrigates the fields of several counties and counties, and the water of the Turbid River also irrigates the fields of several counties and counties. It can only be used partially because of the clear water, and it can only be used partially because of the turbidity of the water, which has been the case since ancient times. ”
"The people of the world don't understand this truth, and they have repeatedly persuaded me to only use the Yangtze River and waste the turbid river. Once the turbid river floods, it must be controlled, which is the reason why I deposed Liu Yi and killed Wang Fu; Once the Yangtze River floods, I will also have to deal with it, and this is the reason why I deposed Duan Ying and killed Yang Qiu. ”
"The party members think that they are clear streams, and they compare the monarch's father to a mountain. When the water floods the mountain, this is the flooding! ”
"The hearts of the people are like water, the people are like smoke, and my Han Dynasty is now 40 million people. Heaven has handed over all the directions of Kyushu to me, I am the Son of Heaven, and I am the monarch's father! ”
"I have authorized the authority and eunuchs, and ruled the world as a domestic slave, how many people have scolded me for being a faint king behind my back. I am not afraid of leaving infamy, all I want is the great Han country, thousands of generations. The house slave fox is a fake tiger, and the relatives are jackals and beasts. The two cannot be dominant, and mutual checks and balances are the way to be kings. ”
After talking at length, Liu Hong was slightly out of breath, and after adjusting his breathing, he finally closed the coffin and concluded: "The courtiers of the world, how can it be good or bad?" The people are loyal and traitorous, and the emperor only looks at the usefulness. ”
"Father, my sons don't understand." The little prince's face was full of doubt.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, just remember it, and one day in the future, you will understand." Liu Hong stroked Liu Xie's forehead, his son is still young, and it is human nature that he can't absorb so many things for a while.
After explaining to his youngest son, Liu Hong moved his eyes to his eldest son Liu Bi.
Although killing the eldest son of the emperor with the highest voice of the prince can prevent future troubles forever, it is also the best way to ensure that Liu Xie ascends the throne.
But after all, tiger poison does not eat children,
Liu Hong killed indiscriminately, but he couldn't do anything about his own son. He stared at Liu Wei for a while, and his tone became a little gentle: "Bian'er, are you willing to assist your younger brother and help him Jingyu the world?" ”
Liu Wei didn't think much about it, he turned his head to look at Liu Xie on the other side, he and this younger brother have not been together for a long time, but the relationship is extremely good, nodded and replied: "Erchen is willing." ”
As the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Wei has never had the idea of sitting on the throne of God, it is his mother and uncle who have to push him to the position of prince.
After receiving Liu Wei's reply, Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he put the palms of the two brothers together, as if he was a little relieved: "The world in the future will be handed over to you." ”
The two princes nodded in response.
The father and son sat from noon to dusk, and when they were separated, Liu Hong remembered something that had not yet been explained, and called Liu Xie, who had already walked to the door, back.
"If there is a crisis in the future, you can summon Lu Bu back. When the old lady Yang Ci was alive, he once said that Lu Bu was a sharp weapon of the country, and a divine sword given to me by God to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty. This kind of sword, only those who are virtuous can hold it, I bow to the thin virtue, you are more benevolent than me, leave it to you, in the future to suppress the rebellion, crusade against the rebels, or to implement a new system, only this person can move forward indomitable and invincible. ”
After Liu Hong finished speaking, he handed over the sword of the Son of Heaven that he had carried all the year round to Liu Xie, and his face gradually turned gloomy: "It's best for you to suppress him, if you can't suppress him, kill him as soon as possible!" ”
If a minister covers the lord, he is a deceitful king.
