I wish you all a happy new year!

When Xu Ziling heard this, he frowned slightly: "It sounds like I advised you not to be an emperor? No, if you like, do it. It has nothing to do with me when you go back to Liyang to become an emperor tomorrow!"

The high-crown Du Fuwei laughed: "Is it true that I am too concerned? Old Du is not a material for the emperor, but he still has curiosity when listening to the emperor's suffering."

Su Su looked at the two of them and said weakly to ease the atmosphere: "Young master, I want to hear it too."

As soon as she said this, Xu Ziling became interested.

"Since you want to hear it, it's okay for me to say it. When it comes to the suffering of the emperor, it's really endless to talk about it for three days and three nights. Being an emperor sounds majestic and envious, but in fact he's just a large prisoner. Those who are desperate to fight for the throne are mostly idiots!" Xu Ziling said this, which caused Gao Guan's Du Fuwei to applaud: "Good boy, it turns out that you have scolded me, Lao Du, too."

"But, if it's not good to be an emperor, why are there so many people fighting?" Su Su asked.

"It's very simple, because those who are fighting for the throne don't know that being an emperor is actually the most unhappy person in the world. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the women around the emperor. The emperor has many women, three palaces, three courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and any beauties in the world look very happy on the surface! However, none of his women are united, and each one fights for favor and secretly, not only comparing appearance, clothing, figure, but also comparing family background, honor and fortune...even, even the son is a daughter who gave birth to a son.

Sons have to fight. In the palace, it is not easy to have a son. If it is not a noble man or a favored concubine, the son may have been poisoned to death before he was born. Finally, the son was born and finally grew up. These princes and grandchildren also have to fight against each other and fight each other, and even persecuted their fathers in order to seize the throne. Not to mention anything else, Yang Guang and Yang Yong are like this. Do you think such an emperor is interesting to do?”

"It sounds like that!" Du Fuwei frowned. Other emperors didn't know, but the open and secret struggle between Yang Guang and Yang Yong became well-known at this time.

Yang Guang was originally the second prince, and Yang Yong was the crown prince.

But when Yang Guang was young, he was very good at pleasing his parents, especially his mother, Empress Dugu, who was the one who had the greatest influence on Yang Jian.

His father Yang Jian likes simplicity. Yang Guang deliberately lives in a simple house and asks his wife to wear cloth clothes. Especially when his father came to see him, he hung the broken bow on the wall to decorate it, concealing Yang Jian. On the contrary, Yang Yong held that he was the prince, and his clothes were gorgeous, and he went to brocade cars, lived in rich families, drank fine wine, and ate deer jerky. In the end, Yang Guang was defeated. He was also slandered and murdered his brother and teased the palace concubine, causing Yang Jian to be imprisoned.

Later, after Yang Guang gained power, he was bold enough to have an affair with Yang Jian's concubine, which made Yang Jian discover it, but it was too late.

After a palace chaos, Yang Jian died, and Yang Guang ascended the throne to the emperor...

Of course, Du Fuwei, who opposed Yang Guang's embarrassing incidents in the palace under the banner of opposing the tyranny of the lewd king, was the clearest.

"I won't say my relatives." Xu Ziling gave another example: "Tell me about outsiders. There is no letter on the face of the loyal minister. Who knows who is loyal and who is traitorous? Besides, people will change. Those who are loyal can become traitors, and those who are traitors may become loyal. Of course, the possibility of traitors becoming loyal is very small. Who dares to believe a minister as an emperor? He doesn't know which one is sharpening his knife and preparing to usurp the throne, and which one is truly credible, and which one is a talent, and which one is a mediocre person. Being an emperor is simply unable to sleep even if he is sleeping. For example, Yang Guang now rebels every day, assassination every day, and assassination every day, and he is uneasy and unable to sleep at night. Will such an emperor be satisfied with doing it?"

"Being an emperor is really hard!" Su Su also sighed sincerely. Is it really worth it to fight brothers for being such an emperor?

"It's not too hard, but even more bitter is still behind! As an emperor, one must listen to the ministers quarrels under the quarrels every day. Ministers quarrels about the affairs of the people of the world, quarrels about their own selfishness, or quarrels about intrigue and gangs, which is so annoying!" Xu Ziling said calmly: "If the emperor doesn't care, eats, drinks and plays every day, then he will be a fool. In a few years, he will be like Yang Guang, and he will be ruined by his great country. It will be a good fortune in history. He will record a shameful record in history.

Pen! If you do your best and be selfless, then Yang Jian, although the country is solid, he is really tiring to live. After living for the rest of his life, he will live for others and live to others. Therefore, although everyone wants to do it every day, if he really wants to achieve that position, I believe that most people will complain, but he has nowhere to say and can only bear it himself! Otherwise, how could the emperor call himself a 'lonely'?"

"..." Gao Guan Du Fuwei heard Xu Ziling's words and was speechless for a moment and could not speak.

He felt that he had never thought about how to do the emperor's business, and just wanted to fight for the world rather than govern the world.

In fact, even he knew that with him, the chief executive of the Jianghuai Army, if he wanted to be an emperor, it would be a big joke. That emperor dream was just a wishful dream! Du Fuwei never thought in his heart that he would have a day to become an emperor. Of course, he never thought that being an emperor was so difficult, and he never thought that being an emperor was so hard.

If he knew that being an emperor was so difficult, it would be strange if he would compete for the position of emperor!

According to the words of the boy Xu in front of him, only idiots will fight for the throne...

Du Fuwei suddenly became interested. He was not an emperor, but wanted to ask the other party, what kind of person he was in the eyes of this strange boy?

"Mr. Du, do you want to listen to my sincere evaluation of you?" Xu Ziling glanced at Du Fuwei and asked Qi: "Do you think people like you will have good evaluations?"

"No matter what, let's talk about it." Gao Guan's Du Fuwei slapped his thigh and took it a break.

"You are just a leader of the rioters and bandits. All the people in the world despise him. He has no help but helplessness. Moreover, no matter whether you are a person, his intelligence or means, you are not a material to be an emperor." Xu Ziling did not look at Du Fuwei without looking at him and commented without hesitation.

"Why isn't it a material for being an emperor?" Du Fuwei choked despite his mental preparation.

"First, your reputation is very bad." Xu Ziling shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Du, no matter how famous your reputation is, no matter how strong your Jianghuai army is, it will not be supported by the people of the world, nor will it be convinced by the people of the world. If you really force yourself to be the emperor, you will be the pseudo-emperor, and you will be the scapegoat for the people of the world to vent your anger!"

"What's the second?" Du Fuwei looked serious on his face, and his heart was sweating.

"Second, your background is too low." Xu Ziling shook his head again and said, "Although being an emperor does not care about his background, even a gangster and civilian can be an emperor. But now it is different from that time of the Han Dynasty. You are not Liu Bang. You don't have his personality charm, you don't have his group of good ministers and famous generals, and you don't even have an invincible overlord like him as an opponent. Do you know? Most of Liu Bang's world was picked up, and it was after the Chu king Xiang Yu defeated him.

, I picked it up again. You don’t have everything he has. You are from a humble background, like me, you are a gangster. Do you want to be an emperor? It is impossible. First of all, no one among the four clans will support you, and no one will have any good feelings for you. Confucian scholars in the world despise you, merchants and farmers are afraid of forced recruits, and no one in the world supports you, and without anyone’s support, you want to be an emperor smoothly? Maybe dreaming faster!"

"Is there a third?" Du Fuwei's face also turned into a rigid coffin face. From now on, he was really desperate, but his face was covered in cold frost. He hummed.

"Of course." Xu Ziling nodded and said, "The third point is that you don't have enough personal abilities."

"What?" Du Fuwei felt most uncomfortable when he heard this. What does it mean to have insufficient abilities? He led the JAC Army to be invincible in the world. Isn't this a manifestation of his ability? He asked a little angrily: "Although I am not a three-master, I am also a dominant side. Do you dare to say that I am not capable enough? The JAC Army under my command is invincible and invincible. Do you think I am not capable enough?"

Seeing Du Fuwei getting angry, Su Su uneasyly pulled Xu Ziling's sleeve and signaled that he would not be too aggressive to avoid angering the other party.

Xu Ziling didn't care at all.

He reached out and gently stroked Susu's hair, patted her little head, and signaled her to rest assured.

He said to Du Fuwei: "You heard it right, I just said that your ability is not enough. The three masters are very good at martial arts, but are they really the materials for emperors? Do you think that Ning Daoqi is so awesome, so he will definitely be emperors? It's not the same thing at all! No matter how good your martial arts are, what's the use of? Can you use tricks? Can you use people? Will you use your resources to expand and strengthen your army? Will you use your ability to govern the world to make the people of your territory convince you, and everyone will live a rich life? You can't tell anything about your ability?"

"If it were someone else, he might not be able to defeat such a large territory as you." Xu Ziling commented softly and pertinently: "These are all brought back by your experience on the battlefield and your barbaric martial arts. This is your ability. But if it was someone else, if there was such a strong army and gained such a large territory, do you know what would happen to him? He would do much better than you, and he would slowly accumulate strength and slowly win the world. Your soldiers are fewer and fewer than forceful soldiers to capture them. Other rebels, such as Wagangzhai, Zhai Rang, and Li Mi climbed the high ground and followed him immediately. Can you do it? Those who lose the people's hearts will lose the world... So you cannot be an emperor, even if you force yourself to be an emperor, you will not be able to sit firmly!"

"Speak." Du Fuwei stared at Xu Ziling.

"Do you want to know the real you? I'll tell you! You, Du Fuwei, stand by and hold your hands." Xu Ziling said firmly: "You may be a hero who can make a name for the world, but you will definitely not be a good emperor. And even if you are the emperor, you can't do it! I dare say, you have never thought about how to be an emperor, and you have never thought that you will become an emperor in your mind. In your mind, the emperor is just a supreme title and a throne that you want to snatch in your dreams, rather than the head of the family who is responsible for the food and clothing and safety of the people in the world..."

"Yes." Du Fuwei heard this, his expression was dull, nodded coldly, and admitted: "I really haven't thought about it."

"Your ambition and ability determine your destiny." Xu Ziling sighed slightly: "At most you can be a prince or a duke, it is only if you give up on you when you give up fighting for dominance in the future. If you keep fighting to the end, you may have nothing in the end."

"I have no hope in my life to be an emperor?" Du Fuwei asked coldly.

"To describe it in one sentence: the widow died with her only son!" Xu Ziling made a metaphor and said, "Absolutely no hope!"

"Even if I get the legendary 'Yang Gong Treasure House', there is no hope?" Du Fuwei asked again.

"No hope!"

Xu Ziling affirmed: "I won't talk about whether you can get the 'Yang Gong Treasure House'. Even if you can get it, do you know what's inside? Do you think there are really countless gold, silver, treasures, swords, and halberds inside? If Yang Su really had such strong strength, he was a great minister and had a heavy army, and he would have rebelled long ago? Why would his son Yang Xuangan fail to rebel? Yang Xuangan's martial arts was the first in the entire Sui Dynasty. He had countless elite soldiers and had wise men. He once killed Goryeo and made great achievements. Why would he fail? Think about it, why didn't Yang Xuangan take out his father's 'Yang Gong Treasure House' when he was at the end of his journey?"

"Can you say that 'Yang Gong Treasure House' is just a rumor in the world? It doesn't exist?" Du Fuwei was shocked when he heard this.

"I believe it is not a rumor in the world." Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "But I believe that the 'Yang Gong Treasure House' is not what ordinary people think, and there is no many things. Why does the 'Yang Gong Treasure House' have a legend that can be obtained by the world? Because it is very simple, it has the advantage of geographical advantages. Once it is obtained, it can immediately revolt, attack the palace, and force the throne. Where is it? General Manager Du, I can tell you directly, because I tell you that you can't get it, and if you get it, it has no use. You can't take it out, and you can't use it..."

"Where?" Du Fuwei asked anxiously.

"Imperial City and Imperial Capital." Xu Ziling smiled slightly and said, "There are some weapons there. Once taken out, they can immediately attack the emperor's palace through secret channels. Therefore, if you get it, you can win the world. This is the advantage of the territory, not the huge wealth and military reserves."

"What?" Du Fuwei was stunned when he heard this, and after a long time, he murmured: "'Yang Gong Treasure House' is just a secret way to assassinate the emperor? It has no treasures and military weapons? How could this happen?"

"I think, as long as you let go of your greed and think about it, you will be able to figure it out." Xu Ziling's eyes shone with wisdom and analyzed: "Why did the Rakshasa girl make that piece of 'Long Live' ancient jade for pawning? She still wants to provoke internal struggles among us Central Plains people? If the 'Yang Gong Treasure House' is really so useful, it can be obtained, why would she still make a big publicity? Goguryeo is now weak and poor, and is in urgent need of a large amount of treasures to save her. Why didn't she take it out by herself? Help Goguryeo restore people's livelihood and overcome difficulties? Manager Du, this simple truth must be understood as soon as you think about it."

"Why do you force yourself to say that you can't get this 'Yang Gong Treasure House'?" Du Fuwei asked.

"After opening, there is only one way." Xu Ziling nodded and said, "That is a secret road that leads to the palace. All the retreats are blocked. If you don't attack the palace, you will never be able to come out. It means 'if you fail, you will become a lord', and there is no way to go. Just kill Yang Guang and occupy the imperial capital, and there is no other way to go! Now, General Manager Du, do you still have to take Yang Gong's treasure house?"

"Have you been there?" Du Fuwei asked.

"No." Xu Ziling shook his head negatively and said, "The Rakshasa girl has been there. She originally assassinated Yang Guang, so she felt more in line with her heart. She simply put on makeup and became a palace maid to assassinate Yang Guang. Later, she failed and escaped. So she sought to sow discord between the Central Plains forces, promoted it widely, and pawned the Long Live Ancient Jade, so the series of things happened later."

"No wonder she only took a piece of 'Long Live' ancient jade." Du Fuwei nodded heavily after hearing this, and said, "I understand a little now. Although I don't completely believe what you say, I don't doubt it all, because you are very strange and don't seem to be lying to me. I have heard countless people's evaluations of me. Your evaluation is the most uncomfortable, the most angry, but also the most convinced! You are right, I am such a person!"

The tall crowned Du Fuwei snatched the wine jar from Xu Ziling's hand and poured it on his back, making a big furious look.

After drinking the wine in his hand, he stood up and threw away the wine jar.

Then he nodded at Xu Ziling with expressionless expression: "Boy, I want to make a bet with you. If you win, I, Lao Du, will never ask about the 'Yang Gong Treasure House' from now on, and I don't care whether you will take out the 'Yang Gong Treasure House' in the future! In short, my mother, I will not think about it anymore. I will still go back to be the mighty general manager of the Jianghuai Army, or be the happy grass head king."

Xu Ziling laughed inwardly. Du Fuwei, who was so awesome that no one had convinced him, had already fooled him.

But he pretended to be very serious and asked: "What are you betting on?"
