I am the prince in the heavens

Chapter 137 Big Dream Spring and Autumn
"Where is this place?"

When Zhao Dun woke up, he found that the place he was in was not the imperial palace, but a meadow ravaged by wild sand. The wild sand flying all over the sky proved that this place was no longer the Central Plains.

Zhao Kai said:

"What do you think?"

Zhao Dun looked at the environment that can only be found in books, and said:
"Beiliang?"

"Yes."

Zhao Kai didn't explain too much, and casually threw him a set of ordinary people's clothes. After all, this is Beiliang, so he couldn't be allowed to wear a dragon robe.

After changing into ordinary people's clothes, Zhao Kai took him for a stroll in Beiliang.

The population of Beiliang Sanzhou is only a million households, and the population is only 400 million people. The population is not even comparable to that of Xishu, but there are 35 troops here.

It can be said that there are not many young and middle-aged people in the entire Beiliang Sanzhou. Basically, there are only old and weak women and children in every household to support the family. The elderly in their sixties and seventies, as well as children in their teens, all have to make a living for the family. , coupled with the harsh living environment, the difficulties can be imagined.

Even if there is a man in the family, he is also a veteran who was disabled on the battlefield and retired.Although life is difficult, life is also considered stable.

The two walked through many cities in Beiliang along the way, including Hutou City, Jinji Ridge, and Hulukou. Although Beiliang is bitter, it has strict military discipline.

What the two saw and heard along the way seemed to open up a new world for Zhao Dun.

Zhao Kai then took a cake and handed it to Zhao Dun, which was the daily ration of ordinary people in Beiliang.With difficulty, he broke off a piece and put it in his mouth to chew carefully. Even though he was hungry, Zhao Dun still found it hard to swallow.

Normally, he wouldn't look at such food, but seeing Zhao Kai eat it with gusto, he didn't dare to throw it away.

"This is what ordinary people eat every day. Although it is unpalatable, do you know that even the most common cake is not eaten every day. This is the Beiliang you are afraid of, ordinary people It is a great fortune to have enough food and clothing for the family, if a war breaks out, I am afraid that even the food and clothing cannot be guaranteed.”

After Zhao Dun swallowed the dry food with difficulty, he drank a sip of water before he calmed down. To be honest, after being the emperor for so many years, it was the first time he knew about Beiliang, a strange place.

"For these years, I... no... I have been living in the deep palace. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have seen such a scene. For a long time, in the hearts of the people in the capital, Beiliang has always been regarded as a Flood beasts, everyone is worried, for fear that Beiliang's cavalry will enter Tai'an City,
For a long time, Beiliang Sanzhou has not been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Even in the eyes of many people, Beiliang is no different from a foreign race. Now it seems that this is not easy for Xu Xiao. "

Zhao Kai said coldly:
"Aren't you always afraid of Xu Xiao's rebellion? But why do you keep plotting against his family? If he really rebelled, you can't beat him, so why do you keep pushing? Do you think that, on your own Can it stop Bei Mang?"

Zhao Dun said:

"This is the emperor's helplessness. As the emperor, he will never allow the underground courtiers to surpass him in strength. It doesn't matter whether you rebel or not. The important thing is that you have the ability to rebel, and that is the biggest mistake.

Even if Xu Xiao and his son are really righteous and loyal, I, the Zhao family, cannot allow Beiliang to have such a powerful and uncontrolled army. If it weren't for the existence of Beimang's confidant, Liyang's water transport to Beiliang would have been cut off long ago. up.

I know that you have a good relationship with Beiliang, but you must know that Beiliang is a fierce tiger that cannot be controlled. Even if he does not rebel now, can you guarantee that his descendants will not rebel?That is a hidden danger after all. As an emperor, one should not only look at the present, but also consider the future of the Zhao family. "

Throughout the ages, it is difficult for a general with great achievements to end well. This is almost an eternal truth in feudalism for thousands of years, but it is stupid to rush to kill before the foreign troubles are eliminated.

Zhao Kai laughed and said:

"I can understand what you're doing. Since ancient times, there are probably not many emperors who can tolerate people like Xu Xiao. But don't think about it. An emperor who can only kill donkeys and cross rivers and bridges is so embarrassing." What are you talking about forever? Could it be that you don’t know what is human heart?
How many hearts have you lost in these years without realizing it? Zhao Zhuan sees this more thoroughly than you. Look around you, how many people really obey you now?
I have no foundation in the capital. I have only returned to the capital for less than two months, but I was able to take you, the ninety-five-year-old, away in front of everyone in the palace. Could it be that they are really afraid of me? Strength?
Why don't you think about yourself?You don't even know where you are wrong.

Instead of killing donkeys, what you should do more is to gather people's hearts. "

Zhao Kai's words made Zhao Dun fall into deep thought. All along, he has always conscientiously played the role of the emperor, never arbitrarily doing things, and some things are only implemented after discussing with the advisers below.

He also reviewed the mountain-like memorials in the imperial study on time, and he was not addicted to wine and sex, and his relationship with the queen and children was also very good.For a long time, he felt that what he did was no worse than the first emperor, but the fact is that he has done so much, but it seems that there are fewer and fewer people who are loyal to him.It turned out that these people were all selfish.

Zhao Dun said:

"Could it be that I'm really a fatuous emperor?"

Zhao Kai smiled lightly and said:
"Otherwise? Do you really think you are a wise king?

You are stupid because you can't see the situation clearly and don't know how to employ people. When you came to the throne, there were Zhang Julu, Huan Wen, and Xun Ping who cared about the world and were honest and honest officials.Wu has Beiliang king Xu Xiao, a loyal general like Gu Jiantang, and a counselor like Yuan Benxi who is astonishingly talented.

These people are hard to find through the ages. With these people, even if you don't do anything, singing and singing every night will be better than now.

It's fine if you don't reuse it properly, and you are still here to kill the donkey. Are you planning to get rid of Zhang Julu and Yuan Benxi after Xu Xiao dies?You are so careful, can you hide it from them?
Indiscriminate, harming Zhongliang, how dare you say that you are not a faint king?Only by looking at the results of everything can we know whether we are right or wrong. "

Zhao Dun was left speechless by Zhao Kai, as Zhao Kai said, he originally planned to get rid of Zhang Julu and Yuan Benxi later.

Zhao Dun sighed and said:
"Then what do you think I should do? Is it possible to really make Beiliang bigger and make the entire court hall a hall of Zhang Julu? I don't have your strength. There are some things that I can't do with peace of mind."

Zhao Kai lightly waved his hand, and the scenery before Zhao Dun's eyes began to change instantly. The next second, Zhao Dun was directly in another world,

In this world, he saw a Beiliang filled with gunpowder and smoke. The 60 army of Beimang invaded across the board, and the 60 black armors were like the tide of the Guangling River.

The flames of war were everywhere, and 35 Beiliang soldiers rose up to fight. In this battle, the sky was dark and the sky was dark. After placing 10 corpses, they retreated.

In the first battle between Liang and Mang, Beiliang won the victory after paying a huge price.

But soon, Beimang's second invasion struck again. This time, Beimang was almost desperate. Millions of troops were dispatched. Without any reinforcements, Xu Fengnian dispersed all the property of Beiliang Palace to raise food and grass. The world is divided into the Xu family.

Outside the North City, Xu Fengnian wore a python robe. In front of him were the 40 troops of Beimang and the Tuoba Bodhisattva who was gifted by the immortals and reached Lu Zu's realm. Xu Fengnian shouted:
"Xu Xiao's eldest son, Xu Fengnian, is begging to die here!"

In this battle, the sky was dim and the earth was dark, and the sun and the moon were dark.After nearly two years of fierce fighting, it finally ended in Beiliang's tragic victory. More than 20 soldiers died in this battle.

On Qingliang Mountain, 30 stone tablets are engraved with names, such as Qi Dangguo, Lu Dayuan, Zhou Kang...

There were two successive battles of recklessness, which wiped out all the property of the Xu family. 30 generals and scholars all died facing the north, and no one retreated.How many people have lost the pillars of their families? Even so, Xu Fengnian, who has great strength, still did not choose to attack Li Yang, who was watching from the sidelines, but took his relatives to live in seclusion...
