After the battle of Cangmang mountain, three million people were trapped in the upper capital city, and the three million Ren were trapped in the city all the time. The Emperor didn't order them to be released or killed, which puzzled me. I went back to ask Xiaoke about it.

Xiaoke said: "in fact, it's very simple. The emperor wanted to kill them, but he didn't dare to kill them."

"That's why."

"The reason why they want to kill them is that they are encouraged to revolt, but they dare not because there are too many people. If they kill all of them, it will certainly cause public anger. Moreover, his reputation as a tyrant will be taken for granted. Although these people are rebellious, they have no name. It's just an unreasonable excuse to say that they should overthrow feudalism 。”

"Do you mean the emperor will surround those people all the time?"

Xiao Ke thought for a while and said, "no, the emperor will release people, and will let some people become imperial officials to show the generous heart of the Chinese royal family. However, some people will be killed, those who refuse to surrender will be killed, and those who are just like dogs will be assigned some official positions. They are all idle officials."

It's really reasonable to hear Xiao Ke say that. I find that she is really a talented person in governing the country with a mind of the world, but it seems that she can't get a place to play with such a city master as me. If she follows an emperor, she will surely have a great development.

I went to Tianxiang again and said, "Tianxiang, what do you think will happen to the people in the capital?"

"I don't know. I don't know how to talk about state affairs."

I think it's also true that how can Tianxiang, a beautiful girl, care about these things? What she should care about is where the flowers are blooming and she can go to enjoy the flowers and write poems, but such a girl is a man's favorite.

After a day's training with Tianxiang, Tianxiang always flies in the sky to cheer me up. It makes me fight with great energy. I kill two boss of dark gold level in one day, and I get a lot of harvest. Tianxiang also gains some magic. Although it's not much, it's still very useful.

It's evening when I got back to Weiyang city. After arranging where Tianxiang lives, I went to find Xiaoke alone, because I wanted to ask Xiaoke more questions.

"Xiao Ke, do me a favor. I want to learn something about war and country."

"What's the matter? You're interested in it."

"It's not that you can't understand everything as a city Lord. You need to do everything. It's not good for people to see."

"Well, go to the main hall."

I quickly went to the main hall of the city. Unexpectedly, the scoundrel, maple and Qin Wuyang were all there. I went over and asked, "Why are you all here?"

Xiao Ke waved his hand and said: "these people also want to ask me some military law or something?"

I looked at a few people and said, "it's good. Are they all self-motivated?"

Small but helpless said: "you these people are really no brain alliance, one by one will fight, will not think, still spirit a little bit better."

I can't tell if I was praised or criticized by Xiao Ke.

Xiaoke took out a military map, and the same military map was distributed to everyone's hands, saying: "you think of a way for me to win the battle drawn on it."

I said, "why didn't I?"

Xiaoke said: "you are different from what they want to learn, come with me"

then he took me to a small study next to him, where there is a pair of chess. Xiaoke sat down and motioned me to sit opposite.

I felt very strange and asked: "Xiao Ke, why do you want to play chess with me?"

"I want to discuss with you how to be a good leader. You are the city leader and our boss. I think you need to take a good study of this course."

I suddenly realized and said, "Oh."

"Ling, what qualities do you think a leader needs most?"

"Bold and wise." This is what I read in the book.

"Very right, but not all right, because the most important temperament of leaders is cohesion. Bold and wise people can have cohesion, but obscene and unscrupulous people can also have cohesion. It depends on the circumstances."

My complexion is stiff, but is this praising me or scolding me.

Xiaoke then said: "in fact, you are the only one who didn't find out the spirit. You are the most cohesive one among us. Everyone likes to surround you. Xinwu shuixinyue and Ningxian all like you. Fitz and Xiaoyu are your brothers and sisters."

I said, "is that cohesion?"

"Cohesion is not something that can be seen from the surface. It can only be said that you have the power to make people want to get close to you. Qin Wuyang was recruited by you, and so are several other people."

I nodded as if I knew nothing.

Xiaoke continued: "in fact, you don't need to know so much about the art of war. What you need to do is not the same as the scoundrels. They want to become generals. They need to know the use of the art of war and how to manage logistics. Tiannan will help you do it well. What you need to do is to know how to be a city leader or the way to govern the country."I was surprised. The way of governing the country is what the emperor needs to do.

"Ling, you have asked yourself this time. I'll tell you. Since we have established the Weiyang City, we can't go down. The leader Li Lin of Longwang city nearby is covetous for this country. Now the emperor Liu Qi is the emperor of all ages, but this country is full of crises."

"Why."

"You don't know the history of this country. Before the founding of Huaxia, there were 24 countries in this land. Now the emperor destroyed the 24 countries and unified Huaxia, and the hidden danger was buried. Just like the Sui Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty, the remnant of those destroyed countries must want to revenge, so they have been waiting for opportunities. Once there are some small problems, they will be punished infinitely It can be said that every move of the emperor is related to the survival of the country. "

I was surprised. I didn't expect it to be like this.

"Ling, we also need to make contributions. I know you want to say that war is not good. Give up your simple idea. If we don't fight, we can only be destroyed. There are so many covetous people who can't tolerate our existence. Besides, men are ambitious. I think most people in the city want to make contributions. Otherwise, people like scoundrels are not good It's possible to learn the art of war. "

I didn't speak.

Xiao Ke looked at me and said, "I know you don't want to hear these things, but you are our boss and the Lord of the city. Your decision is related to all of us. If you really don't want a war, you will submit to the royal family. I believe the royal family will be very happy, and the people in the city won't say anything. When you come to the emperor's side, you can still make contributions."

I didn't answer. It's chaotic now. I can't analyze it according to my ability.

"I won't force you. Since you are the Lord of the city, I will do my best to work for Weiyang city. After all, we have been together since the establishment of Weiyang city. This is not only your city, but also one thing I need to tell you. The wise monarch doesn't need to have strong force and strategy. He only needs to have cohesion and correct sense of responsibility Judgment is the golden mean. I don't think I need to say more about it. "

I lowered my head and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Ke, if one day, I said that if your enemy is your best friend or your lover, you have to go to the battlefield, will you choose to fight or retreat?"

I thought Xiaoke would choose to fight because of the following reasons. In my opinion, Xiaoke should be the kind of person who is considerate of righteousness.

But Xiaoke answered me decisively: "retreat."

"Why."

"I think normal people don't want to fight with their friends, so do I. But if you order me, I will still go to the battlefield. My retreat is because of my own, but you are different. You represent the whole Murong villa and Weiyang city. Your decision must be the most favorable one for everyone. Whether to retreat or fight depends on which one is right It's better for everyone. "

I sighed and said, "it seems that I'm really not suitable to be the Lord of the city. Let Tiannan do it."

"It's impossible. If you don't want to be the Lord of the city, you have to quit Murong villa and Weiyang city."

I was surprised, Xiao Ke then said: "don't forget that so many people have joined Murong villa because of you. If you are no longer the leader of the city, many people will not accept it. Tiannan has no ability to convince the public."

"But I'm really tired. I can't do it." I'm a little depressed.

"Ling, you may be the only one in the whole city who thinks you can't do it. Take a look at the present Weiyang city. So far, you have made no mistakes in your decision. You dare to take responsibility and bring the fan'er people into Weiyang city. You dare to give up. When Weiyang city was attacked by others last time, you resolutely gave up the city and didn't defend it. You also dare to fight to win back Weiyang city In the battle, everyone can see that you are desperate. You are already the Lord of our city, the unchangeable Lord of our city. "

I slightly raised my head and said, "can I really?"

Xiaoke nodded and said: "you just need to continue to do what you have done before. You are not suitable for intriguing with others, so you should be more powerful in personal strength and become the pillar of everyone, so that people can have a sense of security and give people a sense of reliance."

I sighed. For me, the way of governing the country and the war are all illusory. There is only one thing I work very hard to do. That is to protect my friends, relatives and lovers. I will try my best to protect them from being hurt. This is my way of governing the country.
