Chapter 348
Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark pupils and said, "A good bird chooses a tree to inhabit, and a good minister chooses a master to serve. Let's write a good story about a wise ruler and virtuous ministers."
Zhang Jixian's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said, "Yes! What is now deeply rooted in people's minds is that the king's power does not come entirely from God's grant."
"That's right! Otherwise, how would we dare to rebel!" Tie Feng nodded hurriedly upon hearing this.
Zhang Jixian smiled and said, "Supreme power also comes from whether one has virtue. Only a virtuous person can be the king. An immoral person who murders loyal ministers and generals and causes the people to suffer cannot be the king."
"Yes!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with tender eyes and nodded slightly, "For ordinary people, you can choose a virtuous king, or abandon a king without virtue."
"The officials are forcing the people to rebel, so rebellion is justified!" the tiger shouted loudly.
Shen Hui'e was stunned when she heard this, then she raised her hand and rubbed her son's head and said, "You're right!"
"I'm afraid this will become the norm in the future. People will rebel whenever they feel the emperor is not good." Zhang Jixian looked at them with his dark eyes and said.
"Rebellion has conditions. As long as you have enough food and clothing, it will be useless no matter whose banner you use." Shen Hui'e said to them with her black pupils.
"The emperor and the common people under his rule are two-way choices. What kind of emperor you are, what kind of people you will have." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "From now on, our emperor will be bound to a high level of virtue and will lose the space to act recklessly. He can't be like the second emperor, who spent all day hanging out in the harem, ignoring state affairs, and wantonly building large-scale projects."
"Yeah!" The big tiger nodded when he heard this.
"Once the emperor starts to expand his own selfish desires at will, the ministers below will give advice, even at the cost of their own lives." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark eyes and said, "The civil officials will die for remonstrance, and the military officials will die for battle."
"All the loyal ministers who accepted advice were killed." Zhang Jixian said with emotion.
"So the Second Emperor killed the ministers who accepted the advice. He could not stand on the highest moral ground." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep eyes and said, "The tyrannical and incompetent emperor will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and will be infamous for thousands of years." She looked at them with raised eyebrows and said, "From now on, he will live forever."
"Cough cough..." Zhang Jixian was so frightened that he kept coughing.
"It's better not to have this kind of immortality!" Huang Zhongchang said awkwardly, "Besides, he can't hear it if he's dead."
"I wish there were eighteen levels of hell, and I could keep him there!" said the tiger angrily.
"Haha..." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "Yes!"
"Don't you not believe in ghosts and gods, mother?" The big tiger looked at her with his round eyes full of doubt.
"He's complaining a lot. The resentment of so many of us will make him suffer more punishment in the underworld." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her ink-black eyes.
"You are just coaxing a child!" Huang Zhongchang said with a mixed feeling of laughter and tears.
"Good wishes won't work! Knowing that he is a bad person, shouldn't we be happy?" Shen Hui'e looked at him unhappily.
"It's very satisfying, very satisfying, okay!" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with a smile, and said with deep eyes, "If you say so, I can foresee that at the end of every dynasty, when the emperor is immoral, incompetent, and inactive, the people will rebel and overthrow the unjust court, and they will not feel any moral discomfort for rebelling."
"Yes! Anyone can kill the unjust and tyrannical ruler!" Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with bright eyes.
"Hey, hey! Second sister, what if your descendants are like this? How can they curse themselves like this?" Tie Feng was frightened when he heard it.
"This is not subject to personal will." Shen Hui'e looked at them calmly and said, "It is so important to choose a good successor."
"Sister-in-law, do you advocate establishing a legitimate heir or a virtuous one?" Zhang Jixian asked her with a gleam in his eyes.
"Establish a successor!" Shen Hui'e said without thinking, "to ensure the stability of the court and reduce conflicts."
"I thought you would make Lixian famous." Zhang Jixian looked at her in surprise and said.
"What if the legitimate son is not capable enough?" Huang Zhongchang said worriedly.
"I'm afraid that he is capable enough and wants to surpass his ancestors, but the more he struggles, the faster he dies." Shen Hui'e said unhappily, "Just like the second emperor, if he hadn't made trouble, would the country have been gone so quickly? If he had just been hanging around in the harem, the previous dynasty could have run smoothly with the ministers." She said bluntly, "I'm not afraid of the second emperor being extravagant, I'm afraid of his ambitions."
"Ahem..." Huang Zhongchang was so shocked that he kept coughing. He said in a hoarse voice, "It's not nice for you to say that!"
"How much can the Second Emperor eat, drink, and play?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and penetrating eyes and said, "As long as he doesn't cause trouble for the people, what can he do if he messes around in the four directions of the sky?"
"Hehe..." Zhang Jixian shook his head and laughed when he heard that.
"The four-sided sky?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her in confusion and asked.
"Palace! Look up at the sky, isn't it the sky in all directions?" Shen Hui'e said to them with her bright eyes.
Huang Zhongchang looked at the blue sky when he heard this, "It's true. I can't leave the palace, isn't it."
"What if you really want to appoint a virtuous person?" Zhang Jixian asked deliberately, "What if you want someone who is capable and ambitious?"
"Kill them out!" the tiger suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Jixian looked at the young master in confusion.
"This world is so big! Become stronger and bigger, and if you have the ability, you can carve out a name for yourself outside of the Nine Provinces." The tiger looked at him with its sparkling black eyes.
"That's right! Why do you have to be so arrogant in your own home!" Huang Zhongchang's eyes lit up when he heard it, "If you have the guts, go out and be like his father, and become the king!"
"Haha..." Shen Hui'e looked at Zhang Jixian with her lively eyes and said, "What do you think? We did it with our bare hands. How big is the world outside of Kyushu? Why bother to destroy the land under our feet!"
"That's too hard." Zhang Jixian grunted for a long time before saying this.
"Isn't our life hard?" Huang Zhongchang said without thinking.
"What if you don't want to? What if you have no ambition? It's like a quarrel between brothers, a fight to the death." Zhang Jixian looked at her intently and said.
"It's so easy, just raise him like a pig! After all, I am his mother!" Shen Hui'e said simply and easily.
Zhang Jixian looked at her in astonishment and stammered, "Sister-in-law, you...you..."
"Am I wrong? Those who are capable and ambitious can go out and explore as long as it does not hurt them. Those who are not ambitious can be idle nobles, just raise them like pigs!" Shen Hui'e suddenly said seriously, "Of course, you can't go whoring and gambling."
"Is it as simple as you think?" Zhang Jixian asked with deep doubt.
"The same goes for you." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes.
