Chapter 425: Ten thousand enemies, one enemy
After all, Liu Qi came through this before taking over the throne - who doesn’t want the throne of the 500-year-old emperor?
The inheritance of the throne can be determined by the four words "old and young" alone? How is that possible!
However, it is precisely because of the 500th birthday of the emperor that the emperor will not give birth to children until his life is over. This means that when the emperor starts to have children, it means that this five hundred-year cycle is about to end.
It was like Liu Qi at this time.
At this time, it is often the most turbulent time in the Han Empire.
"Who will be the one who takes over the next five hundred years?" Taipan's eyes swept across the fourteen princes in front of him. In that dream, the one who took over the throne was Liu Qi's tenth son, Che, but obviously, Fantasy and Real are different.
For example, there is no practitioner in that dream, and the emperor does not have a lifespan of five hundred years.
For example, the tenth prince, Che, had his name from the beginning, not like a dream, first named Tao, and then changed to Che.
These two points are enough to be called Tai Pan, who has made a twelve-point clue to the current dispute between these princes.
The danger of fighting for the throne of the emperor is no less than the battle between the Taoist lords of the nine major sects. Among them, even if the half-immortal of Hedao fell for this, Tai Pan did not find it strange at all. He was a mere Divine Realm cultivator, even if he had become a yang god, he was still as small as an ant. Once he made a mistake, he would die without a place to bury him!
In other words, a cultivator like him should not have participated in the battle for the throne.
However, what Taipan wants now is not to passively follow the trend and do his best to steal a bite or two from the mouths of the nine major sects, but to participate in the changes between the world one step closer and become one of the forces guiding this trend—like those half-immortals in harmony with the Tao.
To achieve this goal, he had to go astray, enter the court, and participate in the dispute over the throne.
As long as he has enough power or enough influence in this court, he will be able to become the power to guide the general trend of the world!
Just like the three dukes in the court, although they are just mortals, even if they are half-immortals, they will not ignore their existence, because behind them is the vast Han Empire!
However, there is no precedent in this empire when practitioners are in power. Therefore, what Taipan needs to do is not to strive for all efforts, but to have enough influence to influence the emperor, the court officials, and even the influence of the entire court!
And this is also the reason why he took the risk of meeting Liu Qi instead of leaving quietly after Liu Qi settled in this Ganquan Palace. No matter how silenced the Guards of this Ganquan Palace were, they were determined and unintentional. Under the premise that no one knew that someone had sneaked into this Ganquan Palace, it would not be difficult for Taipan to leave.
There is no doubt that for Tai Pan's choice, the dispute and result of the position of the emperor are crucial!
Unless Taipan chose the right person in this dispute, once the battle between the emperor is settled, no matter how much influence Taipan gained in the court before, there is still only the option of eliminating.
Because, in a dispute such as the Emperor's Son of Heaven, those who stand in the wrong team are either stupid or unfaithful, and those who try to be at the right time are even more annoying. After the Emperor's Son of Heaven, isn't it natural for these two types of people to be kicked out of the court?
As for whether there will be a successor after these people are kicked away?
Haha, this Han Empire is not too fond of the weak empires in which the court officials colluded with each other and suppressed the emperor.
The Taoist traditions of various schools of thought are still circulating in this world. There are countless people who want to set foot in the court, use the government to display their ambitions and promote their own knowledge. Today, one person or a school is dismissed, and on the other day, there must be a new person and a school that appears in the court.
What's more, when the emperor has a full five hundred years of life, which court official can fight against this emperor?
If the emperor who is five hundred years old is really annoyed, it will really harm the descendants of ten generations!
In an era when Taoism shows saints and hundreds of schools of thought contend, how could court officials want to suppress the emperor?
"So, who will take over the position of Emperor?" Taipan's eyes slowly swept across everyone's face.
When everyone practices martial arts, their movements, expressions, and even changes in their eyes are all reflected in Tai Pan's gaze.
As time goes by, Taipan puts pressure on these princes more and more. Every time he practices, he puts the limits of these princes, making it difficult for them to squeeze out extra energy to learn other things after practicing martial arts.
"Mr. Yun." Ten days later, Mr. Zhu, who taught these princes the techniques of various schools of thought and the laws of governing politics, finally couldn't help but stop him from Tai Pan after the princes dispersed.
"If they continue to practice like this, they will really have no spirit to practice the various schools of thought and govern the political affairs."
"It's enough to strengthen your body. Does Mr. Yun still plan to teach the future people who take over the empire to become a reckless warrior?"
"Does Mr. Zhu look down on the martial arts man?" Taipan looked at the person in front of him coldly. Taipan was indeed respectful of the knowledge of the person in front of him. However, obviously, the words said by this person in front of him were instructed by a certain prince. Otherwise, he would never put aside the great benefit of tempering his will in the process of practicing martial arts and turned to mention other things.
Why were the people who taught these princes martial arts before were transferred?
Why did Taipan put pressure on these princes more and more? Liu Qi had no objection?
Because for the five hundred-year-old emperors, no matter how complex the ability to govern political affairs is, they can always be integrated in five hundred years. However, when practicing martial arts, they will not give up the will they have to achieve their goals and never give up until they reach their limits again and again. They cannot be nurtured by those five hundred years. If they miss this opportunity, no matter who they take over the throne, they will never be able to raise such will, because at that time, no one could give them such pressure.
The body reaches its limit, but it remains endless.
My heart is still hanging in great heights because of the dispute over the position of the emperor.
At the same time, they are worried about gains and losses, afraid that it is their own giving up or stupid persistence, which is not in line with the wishes of court officials or Liu Qi...
It’s difficult to determine gains and losses!
Only in this situation can one develop the will or decision that a qualified emperor should have.
In addition, there is another point, that is, this great Han Empire is a martial country. Although it is prosperous inside, there is also a great enemy who will never die outside. In this case, the emperors will be more supportive of the generals - court officials who can be cultivated by making mistakes, but the generals cannot be cultivated by letting them make mistakes, because during war, once they make mistakes, they will be ruined, and at this moment, the frontiers are all corrupt!
Therefore, Taipan ignored Mr. Zhu's question at all!
"Enough!" On the second day, after Taipan led them and set off, another prince finally couldn't help it.
"Mr. Yun, the Chinese people are martial, and there is nothing wrong with it."
"However, one enemy and ten thousand enemies, Mr. Yun thought, which one is more powerful?" The person who spoke was Liu Rong. When Liu Rong spoke, Liu De, Liu Yanyu, Liu Fa and Liu Pengzu, who were next to him, stopped their actions and stood next to Liu Rong to show his support.
Others are still very concise and are practicing according to the movements taught by Taipan.
Taipan's eyes moved away from Liu Rong and others, swept over the remaining nine princes one by one, and then fell back to Liu Rong.
"It depends on who it is." As if he did not notice the trap in Liu Rong's words, Tai Pan responded without any hesitation.
"If you are a commoner, you will naturally be the best enemy."
"But if you are in a high position and decide to be related to the lives of countless living beings, then ten thousand enemies will be born from this." Taipan looked at Liu Rong with his eyes and thought in his heart. Was Liu Rong's words thought about whether he thought of him or someone taught him.
"Mr. Yun thought, is it the enemy of one person or ten thousand people?" At this point, Liu Rong finally found out what he wanted.
One person or ten thousand people?
This is an answer that is difficult to answer or even impossible to answer.
Because the status of these princes is too embarrassing. In the future, the emperor will live for five hundred years and have countless soldiers and horses under his command. When learning about ten thousand people or one person, it is undisputed.
But equally, if they take a step back, they are even worse than those idle princes and kings. It is still undisputed whether they learn from the enemy of ten thousand people or one person!
However, at this moment, they are just at this point between advance and retreat. No matter how Taipan answers, it is not a good answer.
The most important thing is that Liu Rong is talking about ‘we’, which refers to all of these fourteen princes, not him alone, which avoids the rebound caused by his words and forcing the Taipan team.
"Yes." When Liu Rong finished speaking, Liu Qi, who was walking here, also stopped and reached out to stop the waiter beside him.
He also wanted to hear what Taipan planned to respond to this question.
"Before answering this question, can the eldest prince tell me what is one enemy and what is the enemy of ten thousand people?"
The saying that one person is enemies and ten thousand people is the first to come from Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. At the end of Qin, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.
Historical records: When Xiang Ji was young, he failed to learn calligraphy, but he did not succeed. Xiang Liang was angry. Ji said, "Book is enough to record names and surnames. If a sword is enemy of one person, it is not enough to learn, but it is enemy of ten thousand people." So Xiang Liang taught Ji's military strategy...
Since then, the saying that one enemy and ten thousand enemies have been passed down to this day, and it has been more than three thousand years.
"The technique of dancing swords and guns is one enemy!"
"It's like what Mr. Yun taught at this time."
"One enemy?"
"So that's how His Highness the Great Prince sees what I teach."
"Whether one enemy or ten thousand enemies are different, what is the essence of it?"
"The essence is nothing more than the enemy's death, and I live!"
"Besides this, the difference is that the person used by one enemy is a commoner's sword, who fights fiercely, and is swaying, and life and death depend on size."
"And if thousands of people are enemies, they will bring the swords of the princes, and even the swords of the emperor, and the swords pointed by the sword. The people will overturn the world and return to their hearts."
“That’s all.”
Taipan's slow way.
"If one person has learned the subtlety, he may not be inferior to the enemy of ten thousand people."
"If you have learned the subtleties of thousands of enemies, you may not be inferior to your enemy."
"The so-called enemy of ten thousand people and one person is just to defeat the enemy, to preserve oneself, and to maintain one's own heart."
"What does Your Highness the Great Prince think?" Taipan lowered his eyes.
"Mr. Yun's words are too far-fetched."
"No matter how exquisite the art of one enemy is, how can it be comparable to that of ten thousand enemies?"
"It's fine if a common man fights ruthlessly on the streets, can it still be determined by the battle formation court?" Liu Rong shook his clothes.
“Excellent, wonderful!”
"I don't want Mr. Yun to be idle in Yun Yehe, so Jing has such an opinion." It was at this moment that Liu Qi came slowly while applauding.
"Let's do this. Since Rong'er wants to learn from the enemy of ten thousand people, then just get it apart."
"When you teach someone to the enemy, Rong'er, you go and find Mr. Zhu and practice the principles and strategies of various schools of thought."
"When it's over to Mr. Yun's side, you come to Mr. Yun's side again and learn the art of enemies of thousands of people."
"The dispute between ten thousand enemies and one enemy has been growing for three thousand years. Mr. Yun has such a unique view. I think he should have a brilliant view on the art of ten thousand enemies."
"What do you think, gentlemen?" Liu Qi's eyes glanced at Taipan and Mr. Zhu on the other side.
"I should obey your orders." Taipan bowed towards Liu Qi, then said to the princes, "Since that's the case, then the other princes should learn from those enemies of thousands of people with His Highness Rong and others?"
"We are willing to learn from the enemy of ten thousand people." As soon as Taipan finished speaking, Liu Yu, Liu Fei and Liu Duan stood up and bowed to Liu Qi, "I would like to ask my father to fulfill my promise, and Mr. Yun to fulfill my promise."
"I am also willing to learn the art of enemies with Brother Rong." Behind Liu Duan, the Princess Pingyang who had been training by the audience, also spoke out.
"It's all right." Taipan glanced at these people, "It's all, His Highness used the method of one enemy and the technique of ten thousand enemies to prove each other, and it may not be possible to gain something else."
"However, after this, Mr. Zhu is afraid that he will have some leisure time. I wonder if Mr. Zhu is not energetic?" After speaking, Tai Pan's eyes fell on Mr. Zhu again.
Obviously, Mr. Zhu had already stood on Liu Rong's side at some point.
If he taught Liu Rong alone, he would be able to teach some unique knowledge and means, which would make Liu Rong widen the gap with others in this regard.
