There was smoke everywhere in Guanzhong, and the wealthy and powerful people formed a coalition and quickly marched towards the surrounding cities.

But they found that the other party was already prepared.

A surprise attack was impossible, and various generals suggested that under such circumstances, the only option was to attack by force.

Siege warfare is too unfamiliar to the coalition forces. Building ladders and attaching ants to siege the city seems simple, but how to organize it and how to boost morale when morale is low are still problems.

Many problems need to be solved slowly, using blood and fire to forge a strong team in the smoke of war.

But the emperor obviously didn't want to give them this time.

The coalition forces were attacking the city, and the family heads were shouting at the top of their lungs to encourage the slaves. But the people on top of the city were professional soldiers, and the defense was tight.

The army squeezed in from all directions in Guanzhong.

The city was difficult to break, but the army was not far away, and the coalition forces were panicked.

When the army is encircled, a big battle is just around the corner.

Those wealthy and powerful people who were not involved in the rebellion are all paying attention to this battle.

In Chang'an City, Chun Yudian and others used fast horses to continuously fetch the latest battle reports.

The emperor in the palace remained motionless.

Occasionally a few words came out.

"In my eyes, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs!"

The army of the Northern Liao Dynasty, which had been their sworn enemies for many years, was defeated by this emperor, and the army of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, which was built with money, became their captives...

The ferocious southern Xinjiang rebels were able to drive the puppet emperor to Shu, but they were destroyed by the northern Xinjiang army.

"Those people are not stupid, they just don't give up their interests." Han Ji said with a smile.

This is the palace, where Han Ji and He Lianrong are waiting to be received by the emperor.

"Man perishes for wealth, and birds perish for food."

He Lianrong didn't think these people deserved sympathy.

The emperor is coming.

"I have met His Majesty!"

"sit."

The emperor pointed to the side very easily and took the lead to sit down.

The chamberlain came in with tea, and the emperor took it, took a sip, and said: "I said that I will go overseas in ten years, so that the East Palace will become a favorite."

"Everyone says that the prince will ascend the throne in ten years. Your Majesty, the East Palace is uneasy!" Han Ji said.

"Are you afraid that I will regret it?" the emperor smiled.

"Yes!" He Lianrong said: "Your Majesty, if the East Palace is uneasy, it will inevitably cause some accidents."

"I asked you two to come here because of something..." The emperor's eyes were dark. "Yesterday, a gentleman from the prince gave a lecture and said that the most important thing in a country is class. Emperors, generals, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. If there is no class, this

The world is about to be in chaos. It is unreasonable that someone with mud legs can break into the house..."

"This is an insinuation that Your Majesty is taking action against the great clans in Guanzhong!" A flash of light flashed in Han Ji's eyes, "I am willing to deal with this matter."

That was the prince's husband. If the emperor took action, it would inevitably hurt the friendship between father and son.

There is little love between the Tian family, and if it happens a few times, father and son will become enemies.

"I will deal with this matter and let you two come. I have an idea that I cannot explain. I am going to hold a debate in the Imperial College. The topic is... reincarnation!"

Han Ji was startled, "Is Your Majesty planning to suppress those people through public opinion?"

"It's not suppression, it's refutation!" the emperor said: "I have attacked the rich and powerful, and many people in the world have criticized me. If someone takes this opportunity to stir up trouble, some evil will inevitably arise. In this way, we can refute it openly in the Imperial College."

He smiled and said: "Why is there a cycle of rise and fall every few hundred years? Who is the most guilty among them? What are the pros and cons of a powerful family absorbing the population? Explain them all clearly one by one to set the record straight!"

Afterwards, the emperor went to the prince.

The swordsman lay lazily under the eaves, his wealth gone.

"His Majesty!"

Everyone saluted, and the emperor waved his hand, "Don't disturb the prince."

The emperor entered the palace all the way.

A Liang was taking a nap, and two palace servants were sitting on the bed. When they saw the emperor, they hurriedly got up.

The emperor pointed outside, and the two of them retired.

The emperor sat down.

The weather was getting a little hot, and A Liang fell asleep on his side, looking slightly red in the face.

The emperor picked up the fan beside him and fanned it gently.

Just like when I was in Taoxian County.

After an unknown amount of time, A Liang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the emperor in a daze.

The emperor sat on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the eucalyptus table beside him, and gently fanned the fan with his right hand, bringing some cool breeze.

"Aye!"

"Are you awake?" The emperor put away his fan and said, "You're sweating on your head. Wipe it off."

Ah Liang sat up, raised his sleeves and wiped his forehead, "I don't know why I always sweat during my nap."

"You are still young, and your body has not grown well yet. It doesn't matter if you sweat occasionally." The emperor stood up and picked up a piece of paper on the table. On it was an article written by A Liang.

"The people are satisfied but the king is not satisfied. This topic is interesting."

The emperor put down the paper and asked, "What does the emperor in A Liang's heart look like?"

Ah Liang's mind was still a little confused and he said, "It should be... kind!"

After saying this, A Liang realized that his father made his fortune by killing people, so he quickly stood up and said, "My child is wrong."

"There is no need to apologize for your persistence." The emperor said softly: "My father was also very stubborn when he was your age."

"Ah!" A Liang was a little surprised, "Why was Aye so stubborn at that time?"

"Aye ran into some trouble at that time, but there was actually a better way to solve it."

When A Liang was this age, the emperor encountered the second major crisis in his life.

"Yang Lue was discovered by the people at Jingtai and fled all the way to the Southern Zhou Dynasty. The family had no money and income, so they bullied his father... and his father went into the mountains to hunt and sold his prey to please them."

Is that so? A Liang was surprised.

"At that time, my father was not very tall, and the long knife on his waist was on the ground." The emperor's eyes were filled with memories. "My father went into the mountains and was in danger many times. Later, he was able to make a living easily in the mountains, but he still hunted.

Do you know why you sold it to that family?"

A Liang shook his head.

"You must have thought that you were a fool when you became a father, right?" the emperor said with a smile.

"No, um! There are some!" A Liang chose to tell the truth.

"My father is able to support himself, but he is still bullied by that family. Why?" The emperor smiled, "It's just for friendship!"

"Friendship?" A Liang was a little confused.

"Being a father is for the friendship of someone yelling at Saburo to get up every day, for the friendship of a family sitting together to eat, for the friendship of always feeling that someone is standing with you behind you no matter what you do..."

The emperor touched A Liang's head and said, "Desire can drive a person to become a demon that he doesn't even recognize. This is the case with the false emperor. He became a slave of desire, acting like an animal, but he was complacent. In his eyes,

Friendship is a weakness, and friendship is a tool for oneself to use. Ah Liang, as a father, I don’t want to be such a person."

Ah Liang couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the things about the false emperor.

"Aye, can a person really have no love in his eyes?"

"There are both good and evil sides in the human heart, and excessive desires can bring out the ugly side deep in the heart. The only thing that can resist all this is love and justice."

The emperor smiled and said: "Why is the emperor called a loner? It's just that he and the people around him have been changed by desires and interests. As a father, I hope that our family can be an exception. But it is difficult to achieve this."

"Aye, actually...it's okay if I don't become the prince." A Liang hesitated for a moment and said bravely.

"I know." The emperor sat down, hugged his knees and looked at his son, "My father said this just to tell you that in my father's eyes, power is just a burden. What my father yearns for are mountains and seas, and the vast world.

And Chang'an will only confine my father's wings to fly high. Therefore, in my father's eyes, my son will always be my son! As for the prince, it is just a piece of clothing on my son's body."

A Liang's spirit was stronger than ordinary people. After the emperor said that he would go overseas in the future, there was a lot of excitement around him. The gentlemen began to speed up the teaching speed and mixed in their own views on various political affairs.

The people in the inner chamber around him were obviously more respectful, but A Liang was a little uneasy.

He felt that he had forced his father away.

That feeling made him sad.

But he couldn't find anyone to talk to.

"Aye..." Ah Liang didn't expect that in his father's eyes, the throne was just the throne, and he was his eternal son.
