"The arena? Father-in-law, do you think the emperor is inciting me to go to war with the Murong family?"
"Perhaps not before, but today I openly forced Your Majesty to swallow his anger for your sake. Your Majesty has already figured out my attitude towards your son-in-law."
Smiling and shaking his head, Wang Boren paced and murmured: "I have eighty-one palace soldiers in my hands. In the entire empire, more than half of the palace masters are my disciples. Half of the power in the court also belongs to me. In charge. In fact, your majesty had wanted to instigate me to fight with the Murong family a long time ago, but I was not fooled. This time I have tried my best to protect you, and your majesty has understood that everything I have is everything to you. . If he can¡¯t direct me, he will try to get you involved in this mess.¡±
Nodding knowingly, Yang Feng followed Wang Boren and chuckled: "Then what do you think, father-in-law, how can the emperor get me into this mess?"
"Your Majesty has a deep mind and many bad ideas. He has thousands of ways to make you and the Murong family become enemies, but you must not be fooled."
Smiling slightly, Wang Boren said proudly: "I have been Prime Minister for decades, and I am still standing today. The reason is to judge the situation and keep it within a balanced limit. The emperor trained you to be a hound and asked you to hunt. But you have to Remember, if the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey will be cooked."
"The hound is incapable of hunting, and the emperor will abandon the dog without hesitation; the hound is capable of hunting, but if it is too strong and kills the prey, then it is of no use, and the emperor will cook the hound. ; And if the hound is weak and is bitten to death by the prey, the emperor will just change the hound. The reason why I can survive until now is because I only bark at the prey, but do not actually bite it. The prey also knows that I can't If you really bite me, you won¡¯t really be fighting to the death with me.¡±
Having said this, Wang Boren couldn't help but smile, and he smiled helplessly: "In the end, I am just a dog beside the emperor, but I am a smart dog. I have been confronting the prey, but there is no result, and the emperor does not care about me. There is no way. If he wants to kill me, the prey will pounce on him and bite him to death. But if he doesn't kill me, or if he wants to change a dog, neither my old dog nor the prey will agree, maybe together We joined forces to kill him, so we ended up in a situation where we are in love and killing each other, always in balance."
"but¡¡"
As he said that, Wang Boren's expression slowly became serious: "Now the situation is becoming more and more critical, and this balance will not be maintained for long. As more and more jackals, tigers and leopards surround the hunter, my The old dog can't protect him for much longer. Maybe, at the critical moment, in order to protect myself, my hound will have to return to nature and join those jackals, tigers and leopards to surround and kill the emperor. At that time, the wind and thunder will collapse, and all the heroes will compete with each other. time."
Nodding lightly, Yang Feng smiled with deep understanding and said: "The general trend of the world is that if we unite for a long time, we will divide, and if we divide for a long time, we will unite. This is a law, and it's not a big deal. Besides, heroes emerge in troubled times, and maybe the collapse of Feng Lei is not necessarily a disaster. This empire has gone too far. It¡¯s rotten, it¡¯s time to destroy the old and build the new.¡±
"Hey, you are very optimistic. It seems that you are looking forward to the time when the world is in chaos. It seems that you are ready to compete among the heroes."
With a raised brow, Wang Boren looked at him strangely and said with a smile, "Tell me, what do you want to do with so much food?"
"You knew already?"
"Nonsense, as the prime minister, I am in charge of the affairs of the country. Your Yang family consortium took advantage of the floods in the south of the Yangtze River to raise grain at high prices throughout the empire. If I don't know, I, the prime minister, should stop doing this, huh."
With a sneer, Wang Boren¡¯s eyes sparkled, and he guessed: ¡°You are trying to take advantage of the food disaster to rebel, right?¡±
Shaking his head, Yang Feng smiled mysteriously: "If I take advantage of the food disaster to plot rebellion, then Murong and Dongfang warlords will justifiably attack me as a traitor and traitor. When the wind and thunder collapse, their family will benefit, and I will become a great leader. Demon King, you are despised by others. I will not do this stupid thing of making wedding clothes for others."
"Well, it's good that you know this, so are you raising the price of food, waiting to sell high-priced food, and make a huge profit?"
"No, no, no, I'm not short of money. I don't need to do this kind of thing that damages my moral character and makes money."
"Then you are"
Wang Boren was a little confused.
Yang Feng grinned and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, the Murong family has been fighting hard for so many years, but they have never taken action. Why? And why is the most important thing for the emperor to be the emperor? Just because the emperor has this thing. , the Murong family has never dared to take action, they only wait for the emperor to lose this thing before the time comes, do you understand?"
?"You meanfame?"
Wang Boren nodded clearly, and everything became clear at once.
The emperor does not personally command the army, nor does he personally participate in the government affairs of national construction, but no one dares to oppose him, just because he has something that no one else has, which is fame, which can also be said to be the legitimacy of rule.
This reputation can come from military exploits, like the first emperor who conquered the world; it can also come from inheritance from ancestors, such as the succession of a prince to the throne.
These two ways of gaining fame are the most recognized by the people.
??In other words, the legitimate ruler recognized by everyone is the emperor, rather than you becoming the emperor by yourself.
In view of this, as soon as the emperor became famous, the generals who held military power did not dare to rebel. Otherwise, he will be a traitor and traitor, and the whole world will banish him.
In the end, no matter who owns the world, it has nothing to do with the person who took the lead in rebellion. Such rebellion is equivalent to making a wedding dress for others.
Therefore, the Murong family has long been rebellious, but they have never dared to take action. They are afraid that just after they have killed the emperor, the three families of Dongfang, Nangong and Dugu will join forces to destroy the Murong family in a righteous way, and finally divide the world among themselves.
And it is precisely because of this reputation that the emperor can maintain his throne by balancing the forces.
However, once the emperor loses his reputation, it will be reasonable for everyone to rebel, and there will be no scruples on a moral level.
For example, if an emperor is licentious and immoral, kills innocent people indiscriminately, poisons the world, and makes the people miserable, he will become a coward or a tyrant, lose his reputation, and attract the rise of heroes.
Like King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, etc., they all lost in this way.
"Of course, in prosperous times, it doesn't matter if you are a little stupid; but in troubled times, if the emperor's behavior is slightly wrong, it will attract criticism from others and become a reason for others to crusade.
Therefore, over the years, Emperor Fenglei has always been cautious and did not dare to step into the thunder pool, just to maintain his reputation.
Unfortunately, as the empire decays, the loss of reputation is no longer a matter of personal integrity, but a general trend.
The moment that the Murong family and others have been waiting for has finally arrived.
"Report!"
Half a month later, in the imperial study, a page of urgent military information was delivered to the emperor's desk: "Floods in the south of the Yangtze River have spread, with more than a million victims. The rebels have risen and have captured more than 20 mansions!" (Remember the website address of this site! £ºwww.hlnovel.com
