Vol V Chapter 63
Zhang Liang frowned. He clearly did not agree with Shen Hao's statement.
"Brother Shen, I don't know what you think of the current Emperor."
However, in my opinion, the current emperor is not stupid and incompetent.
On the contrary, he was a man of great talent and bold vision. He had an extraordinary gaze.
He was a wise ruler who dared to break through.”
"Removing the three chancellors and forming the cabinet are the core powers of the Imperial Court.
In less than a month, he had gotten rid of the rebellious Second Prince and gained control of all the soldiers in the capital. He had completely secured the throne. This kind of ability was not something an Emperor who had just ascended the throne would have.”
"Through the thunderous methods, we have seized a group of corrupt officials. The national treasury is full, and the reputation of the people is high.
Especially that token of gratitude. In my opinion, it's simply a wonderful open scheme.
It could be said that the eight kings were gnashing their teeth in hatred towards this Token of Grace.
However, there was nothing they could do. After all, the eight kings had many sons, and all the princes wanted to inherit the throne.
The eight kings knew that it was a scheme, but they had no choice but to jump. If the eight kings did not agree to the token of grace, the first person to oppose it would definitely be his son. This was the most powerful part of an open scheme.”
"Although the eight kings have grown stronger and have the strength to dominate the world, without the imperial jade seal and the fate of the country, no one is willing to be the first bird to stand out.”
"The eight kings of today are all formidable heroes of the world. Each of them is proficient in both literature and martial arts. None of them is inferior to the other.
It was also because of the existence of the eight kings that the Central Plains was safer.
Because no one wanted the Emperor to be controlled by another party and thus control the overall situation.
After all, righteousness is still in the emperor's hands."
"The current emperor has another stroke of genius, and that is the Enke system. It is truly a stunning policy.
In this world, the aristocratic families monopolized culture, and the Humble Class had no hope of advancing.
Outstanding talents could not get a good position, which led to corruption and the protection of officials.
There was no possibility of promotion at the bottom, and it was a huge disadvantage for the country.
The successive kings of Zhou wanted to change this ending, but none of them succeeded.
Similarly, the eight kings also wanted to get rid of the aristocratic families, but they still had no results.”
"No one would have thought that the Emperor who had just ascended the throne would push down the imperial examination against all opposition. This was exactly what the eight kings wanted, so the eight kings did not object and passed it very quickly.
Isn't this a wise ruler?"
"Ruling a big country is like cooking a small dish.
However, when the illness was beyond cure, it needed heavy medicine to treat it.
I believe that the current emperor definitely has the image of a wise ruler.”
"Moreover, the current emperor has promoted the cabinet's capital, Zhang Juzheng, the deputy chief, Pei Ju, and Di Renjie.
His reputation in the court was very good. It could be said that he definitely had the ability to govern the world!
Such a talent could be said to make the Eight Kings extremely envious.
As an emperor, the most important ability was still the use of talents. In this regard, the current emperor was absolutely qualified.
I admire the current emperor very much. If he is given time, it will not be a problem for him to completely unify the world.
Compared to the other eight kings, the new emperor's greatest advantage was that he dared to be flexible and could find the root of the problem. This was a wise ruler for all eternity.
Thus, Brother Shen, you must have many misunderstandings about the Emperor.”
The corners of Shen Hao's mouth curled up. Hearing Zhang Liang praise him so much, his mood was still very good. As expected, different people who flattered him had different effects.
Thus, he deliberately said,"I remember that the current Emperor doesn't only respect the Confucians. As a disciple of the Confucians, don't you feel unhappy?"”
Zhang Liang smiled lightly and shook his head."Although I am a Confucian, it doesn't mean that I can't accept the teachings of other schools.
In my opinion, each school of thought has its own merits and wonders. It just depends on how they are used. The current emperor doesn't seem to like that school of thought. Instead, he is very tolerant and takes the essence of each school. It really makes me look at him in a new light. Therefore, I also want to go to the capital to meet the current emperor. I don't want to waste my life.”
"I agree with what Zifang said. The current emperor is not bad."
"For us, descendants of the Humble Class, this is considered preferential treatment. At least it gives me hope.
Unlike King Qin, King Tang, and King Song, they are all recommended by noble forces. You have to rely on them to do things for you to be qualified to be an official. This is what I despise the most.”
Shangguan Haitang rolled her eyes and was speechless when she saw Shen Hao grinning.
This Emperor was really different from others.
Shen Hao was in a good mood after meeting Zhang Liang and Han Xin.
Thus, he said with satisfaction," It's fate to meet you guys today. Why don't we travel together? When we go to the capital together, I'll take care of your expenses on the way."
"Why is Young Master Shen helping us so much?" Han Xin was a little moved.”
Shen Hao smiled." There's no reason. I think that with your talents, you'll both become the pillars of the country in the future."
According to them, they are comparable to Li Jing, Wang Jian, and Liu Bowen."
Zhang Liang and Han Xin did not expect Shen Hao to trust them so much.
This made the two of them a little embarrassed.
Li Jing, Liu Bowen, and the others were all famous generals. Although they were very confident in their talents, they didn't know until they put them into practice.
To be able to become such a character, their hearts were also surging with blood.
Shen Hao wanted to see if Li Jing or Han Xin was stronger.
Liu Bowen was still Zhang Liangniu.
In addition, the Great Zhou Academy of Science had refined gunpowder and steel. Shen Hao believed that the flag of the Great Zhou would be planted everywhere.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Liang and Han Xin had a good impression of Shen Hao.
The two of them were not strong, only in the Xiantian Realm. They were very powerful for ordinary people, but they were still far from being powerful for a great grandmaster like Lu Xiaofeng.
At night, Shen Hao also arranged a guest room for the two of them.
The next day, Shen Hao's team increased again.
Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Shangguan Hai Tang, Yi Lin, Liu Bei Zi, Lu Xiao Feng, the team was made up of handsome men and beautiful women. They were also very eye-catching.
Apart from Xiangyang City, there were disaster victims everywhere along the way, and there were children being sold everywhere.
Shen Hao's heart was filled with anxiety.
"Why are there so many disaster victims here?"”
Zhang Liang sighed and said," In front of us is Xiangyang City. This is the border between Yuan Monarch and Ming Monarch. Due to the strength of Yuan Monarch's cavalry, they often burn, kill, and rob here. In addition to this year's flood, hundreds of thousands of mu of fertile farmland has been flooded. There are refugees everywhere."
Looking at the endless tide of refugees, Shen Hao sighed.""Rise, the people suffer, die, the people suffer"
'Prosperity, the people will suffer. Death, the people will suffer.' Han Xin, Zhang Liang, and Shangguan Haitang trembled.
She looked at Shen Hao in disbelief. She did not expect Shen Hao to say such philosophical words.
Especially Han Xin, who was deeply moved by this sentence. For some reason, he respected Shen Hao a lot more in his heart.
Even Zhang Liang bowed to Shen Hao and said,""To be able to say such a sigh, Brother Shen must be a great talent in the world."
Shen Hao waved his hand and said,"I'm not that high and mighty. I just can't bear to see the sufferings of the world."
Shangguan Haitang looked at Shen Hao with a hint of confusion. This kind of Emperor seemed to be not bad, at least for ordinary people.
Shangguan Haitang felt a sense of guilt when she thought of her foster father asking her to monitor Shen Hao.
Especially when she looked at the tens of thousands of disaster victims, her heart seemed to have broken.
