However, Zhao Ruling did not have any special reaction. He continued to tell Meng Zhao everything about his impression of Beitang Sheng.

In his words, Beitang Sheng is a man of great talent, strategy, and ability to control people. He is also very scheming, and his martial arts are unfathomable. Even without the help of the dynasty's fortune and the dragon energy of humanity, his martial arts are so strong that no one in the world can rival him.

However, this person is not without flaws.

In Zhao Ruling's opinion, this person's biggest flaw is that he doesn't recognize his relatives. He has no feelings for even his own children and only uses them. He also secretly revealed a piece of information.

When the previous emperor was assassinated, there were many hidden secrets at the time. In fact, a very crucial point was the cooperation of someone inside, which enabled the murderer to hit the target with one strike and complete the great feat of assassinating the emperor.

Zhao Ruling was not clear about what role Beitang Sheng played in all this, but he had a vague feeling that he must have had a hand in it.

This was far beyond Meng Zhao's expectations. It was not that Beitang Sheng was heartless and cold-blooded. He already knew this when he met the twelfth prince Beitang Xing and learned the inside story.

He just didn't expect that the death of the previous emperor was actually related to Beitang Sheng.

This is not impossible. After all, Beitang Sheng came to power in a hurry, but he had everything under control. It was as if he had been preparing for a long time and was just waiting for such an opportunity to come to power.

In addition to being heartless and ruthless, Beitang Sheng also has another character flaw, which is that he is too dependent and obsessed with his own political power.

Zhao Ruling also had an explanation for this point. Beitang Sheng liked playing chess. He liked to treat the world as a chessboard and the people of the world as chess pieces, controlling them in his hands and playing games with others.

However, it is precisely this point that makes him not pay much attention to the process, and not care about the gains and losses of a city or a place. Instead, he prefers to lay the groundwork and eventually win.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with doing this when playing chess, but reality is not playing chess, and the land of China is not a chessboard.

The gains and losses of a city or a piece of land on the chessboard cannot be compared with the gains and losses of a city or a piece of land in China. The impact is absolutely different.

The biggest difference is the human heart.

In fact, Meng Zhao had been thinking about it all the time. With Beitang Sheng's unparalleled magical skills and the courage to break the seals set up by Suan Jin Cangsheng and Taizu Beitang Gong, if he led the army in person, the strength of the southern rebels would definitely not be able to resist and would be wiped out.

It is simply impossible for it to last for so many years. The rebel forces have become increasingly powerful, and their influence is far-reaching, leading to wars everywhere in the world today.

But Beitang Sheng chose to stay in Yujing City and let the situation deteriorate. He was self-righteous and kept dispatching troops, refusing to personally take action to launch a dimensionality reduction attack, which resulted in the current situation.

Even if Beitang Sheng really met his end, it was already too late. It was not a few years ago that the world could have been stabilized as long as the rebels in the south were wiped out.

If we look at it this way, it seems that the reason why Beitang Sheng made one stupid move after another was that he was too confident in his own power and tactics, and thought that he did not need to worry about the gains and losses of a city or a place, but should focus on the overall situation?

When I think about some of the information I received in the past, my past speculations may not just be speculations, but reality.

"Lord Zhao, tell me, the reason why the Great Emperor allowed the situation to deteriorate and the world to fall into chaos was that he wanted to destroy it and then rebuild it. When those powerful families were all torn apart by the chaos, he would take action and rebuild the country. Not only would he unify the world, but he could also take back the power that was divided during the reign of Taizu?"

Zhao Ruling looked at Meng Zhao in surprise, and after a long while, he nodded and sighed,

"King Meng Long, it is true that heroes emerge from youth. You are absolutely right. In my opinion, the emperor has this in mind.

This is not even just the emperor's idea, but something that emperors in every dynasty since Taizu have wanted to do.

However, their methods were not as cruel, resolute, and risky as those of the current emperor. To be honest, sometimes I also think that maybe there is really only a fine line between genius and madness.

It turned out that the Great Emperor was the supreme being who surpassed Taizu and had the highest status in the lineage of the Beitang royal family.

If not, he will be the gravedigger of the demise of the Great Yong Dynasty and will surely be condemned and nailed to the pillar of shame in history."

This is also Zhao Ruling's true feelings.

In fact, he did not quite approve of some of Beitang Sheng's actions, otherwise, he would not have said that Beitang Sheng's excessive obsession with and reliance on power was a weakness and shortcoming.

Humans are not gods, and are not omnipotent. There will always be mistakes and errors, and the same is true for Beitang Sheng.

Once, Zhao Ruling thought that perhaps Beitang Sheng was an accident. He had great ambitions and extraordinary skills, and perhaps he could really accomplish great things and become a figure on par with historical legends.

It was not until he experienced a disastrous defeat in the battle with the Lord of the Demon Palace that he realized that the situations designed and predicted by Beitang Sheng were far from the reality.

Only then did he realize that Beitang Sheng could also make mistakes, and these mistakes were fatal and irreversible.

For example, this time, if he hadn’t been smart enough, if he hadn’t been so skilled.

Beitang Sheng's consideration, planning and operation may have resulted in the death of a celestial being and a great master.

Even now, Zhao Ruling felt that there was still a great possibility that Yu Changkong would not be able to return to Yujing City.

The loss of a great master's combat power is a huge blow and weakening to any force in China, and the Beitang royal family is no exception.

It was precisely because of this realization that Zhao Ruling began to worry that the Beitang royal family and the Dayong Dynasty would fall into an irreversible dangerous situation because of Beitang Sheng’s mistake.

Some of the choices made at the beginning may have been wrong, and the consequences have already appeared, but they are not so obvious.

Whenever Zhao Ruling thought of this, he tossed and turned in sleep, and even after years of hard training, he could not calm his mind.

It’s too big, the matter is too big.

At the end of the dynasty, the world was in chaos, with warlords and many heroes vying for supremacy. It was a time of both chaos and order.

Zhao Ruling is just a small celestial being, let alone a god or demon warrior, he is insignificant in front of the mighty trend.

Therefore, he had some strange thoughts, and when facing some questions from Meng Zhao, he did not hide anything and told them everything.

This might be a backlash from Beitang Sheng's over-belief in his own political tactics.

  The human heart is hard to predict, let alone spreading out pieces of China and treating the whole world as a chessboard?

It’s not that you can’t lay out your plans or ambush your chess pieces, but there has to be a limit.

Beitang Sheng is excessive.

Meng Zhao shook his head secretly. As for Beitang Sheng, he could only say that he was too confident and underestimated the heroes of the world.

Moreover, if he solved the plan of Suan Jin Cang Sheng and Beitang Gong, which led to the flourishing of martial arts and the arrival of the golden age of cultivation, it would probably be a huge failure, and even the kind that would bury himself and the Dayong Dynasty.
