"Sir, please fill this cup. ”

After not seeing him for a while, Emperor Xu Zhengyuan of Wei looked a little better than before, but his gray hair could never return to its original black.

He raised a special large silver wine glass, touched it with Gu Juan and drank it all, then took a piece of tofu and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, suppressing the feeling of alcohol that was a little upsurge because he drank it too quickly.

After a few breaths, Xu Zhengyuan put down his chopsticks, looked down at the silver cup in his hand, and said slowly, "I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I want to set up a national teacher in the imperial court, if it is feasible, I would like to ask Mr. to be my Great Wei national teacher." ”

Gu Juan was slightly stunned, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty, is this necessary?"

Xu Zhengyuan sighed and said, "I am not on a whim in this matter, after the changes today, the situation is already very different from before, so we can no longer stick to the rules and look at the current problems with the eyes of the past, so from the court to the locality, we must change according to the changes in the current situation, otherwise we will eventually fall into the abyss and have no ability to recover." ”

"I thought about re-establishing the powers and responsibilities of the Hearing Division, the Tianji Mansion and the Jin Jiewei, and on top of that, there also needs to be a prime minister and a master who should lead everything, so that the relationship can be truly sorted out, otherwise it will be unjustifiable, and various forces will be intertwined, and it will be difficult to really carry out many things. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean is to let me be the national teacher and then lead the newly established ministry?"

Gu Juan took a sip of wine, narrowed his eyes and said, "But I have a lot of things to do, I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of those tedious official affairs." ”

"If Mr. Gu is unwilling to deal with official business, he can choose some suitable subordinates to deal with it on his behalf, and Mr. Gu only needs to sit in the center and grasp the overall situation. ”

Xu Zhengyuan took a sip of the wine glass, met Gu Ju's gaze and continued, "From today on, you and I don't care about kings and ministers, only brothers, how old am I to be old, or I can call myself a brother, of course, in addition to brothers, I can also treat my brother as a gentleman, and wait until I return to heaven......"

When he said this, he suddenly fell silent, and after a few breaths, he smiled faintly, sighed and said, "Mr. Gu's cultivation is profound, he can be called a land immortal, he has a long natural lifespan, and he will live forever for a long time, so after I die and die, Mr. should be the emperor father of the new emperor, and then be worshiped by my imperial family from generation to generation. ”

"Having said that, if Mr. is interested in these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, whether it is me or the descendants after me, I can perform the ritual of Zen at any time, I just hope that Mr. can see that on the thin noodles that he drank a few meals with me, the faint gentleman, he can leave some seeds for the Xu family, so that they can be satisfied with being a rich man. ”

Gu Juan looked at Xu Zhengyuan quietly, and did not respond for a long time, because he found that this Ninety-Five Venerable was actually serious, at least when he said these words to him just now, he was not pretending to be a posture.

"Being an emperor is not good at such a thing, and I have no interest. ”

Since Xu Zhengyuan wants to be open and honest, he will not have any concealment when he speaks, but he will be quite straightforward, "But I know what Your Majesty is worried about, with the change of heaven and earth, the beginning of Lingyuan, the structure of the relationship between people will also undergo earth-shaking changes, the most direct is the definition and replacement of the ruling class, it may never return to the original state before, maybe even the ruling system of the combination of the court, the locality, and the gentry will be broken and disintegrated, and replaced by some other system that is not yet known......"

"If you think about it from another angle, the pattern of scholars and kings sharing the world should not change for a long time that I can think of, but for the king, how to confirm the identity of scholars and doctors, it is no longer possible to follow the previous way. ”

"Perhaps this is the main reason why Your Majesty is worried?"

Xu Zhengyuan smiled bitterly, looking a little tired and said, "What Mr. said is true, after the wind and snow gradually stopped, I thought that everything seemed to be about to return to the original path, but as the envoys sent to various places returned one by one to report back one by one, I suddenly found that the people who are really in high positions in many counties and counties are no longer the original gentry and doctors, but have become people who have gained strength from the changes in heaven and earth......

He said that he drank a few glasses in a row, and then exhaled a heavy breath of wine, "Since the changes of heaven and earth, I have exhausted my energy and sleepless day and night, but step by step to the current unfavorable situation, although I have also thought of a lot of ways and laid out a lot of chess pieces, but after all, it is like a mantis arm as a car, a grasshopper shaking a tree, and it can't withstand the brilliant general trend brought about by the changes in heaven and earth......

"Mr. Gu is the number one master in the world, and he has also climbed high and looked far, standing above the clouds, and his vision is naturally much broader and deeper than others, so I want to take the liberty of asking, if it is in Mr. Gu's opinion, where will this world go in the future?"

Gu Juan half-closed his eyes, leaned back and sat on the wide and comfortable wooden chair, thought about this question seriously, slowly shook his head and said, "Regarding the changes in heaven and earth, it is too complicated for people to see clearly...... Even I am like a blind man walking at night, unable to peel off the fog that is so thick that it cannot be dissolved, and I can't see where the road leads in the future. ”

He thought about it again and again, and found that he really couldn't give even a slightly clearer answer, maybe not only him, even the Golden Wolf God of the Throat Tapir, and even those celestial gods who might continue to wake up from the darkness, I am afraid that they would not be able to clear the fog and see the true face, and they could not tell the trend and direction of the changes in the heavens and the earth.

Because the things involved in this are too dark and too deep, it is related to the layout and struggle of the Lord of the Cave Heaven, the interweaving and integration of the Cave Heaven Realm with other realms, and the unwillingness and choice of various transcendent beings in this context, and so on............

All of this is entangled together, like a ball of yarn in the dark mist, no matter how you look at it like a torch and how careful you think, it is difficult to peel back the cocoon and find the clue.

He sat there and spoke slowly, his voice coming and going, as if he would fall asleep the next moment.

"But if it is a matter of facts, in terms of the things that His Majesty cares about, it is not too complicated and difficult to say, and in my opinion, it is generally like that, it is nothing more than a change of soup and not a change of medicine. ”

"Oh, Mr. Gu, please speak clearly. ”

Gu Juan yawned and closed his eyes completely, "Between heaven and earth, as long as there is life, there will be a difference between the weak and the strong, and there will be a relationship between exploitation and exploitation, but at different stages of time, the division of the population between the exploiter and the exploited will be different." ”

At this point, he had to explain to him a little bit what the exploiters and the exploited are, and what a communist/proletarian society is, in a language that Xu Zhengyuan could understand, and then he went on to talk about it.

"So before the change of heaven and earth, it was the emperors, the scholars, and the landlords and gentry who were in the dominant position, because they controlled the land and had the violent power to protect their land, but now, perhaps the land is still one of the most important wealth, but the violent force that can sustain it all has undergone a fundamental transformation. ”

"Because of the human being, there have been subversive changes, to be honest, everyone used to be human, but because of their different fates, so some are high and low, but in addition to their status, others are not fundamentally different......

"Even if he is the lord of a country, he does not have three heads, six arms and eight heads, and he will be injured and bleeding if he is stabbed, and he will also fall to the ground and die, but now it is different, different people, the strength they have is already very different, and even there is a situation where one person is the enemy and one army, and one person destroys one city, and in the foreseeable future, there will be more and more people who attribute great power to one, until a new group and a new class are formed. ”
