Chapter 491: Civility can govern a country, and military power can stabilize the country

"What? The old Duke you mentioned is still alive?"

Chen Changsheng was speechless when he heard this...

Is it true?

This little guy is too long-lived, right?

Now, I am already 145 years old, and that little guy must be over 100 years old, and still alive?

This is longer than the average cultivator's lifespan...

"Of course the old Duke is still alive. If it weren't for him, the entire Rong Duke's lineage would have been gone long ago!" The boss said as a matter of course.

"This Rong Duke's lineage you are talking about... What did they do to make the new emperor treat them like this?"

"No matter what, this Rong Duke's lineage is also a founding hero!" Chen Changsheng asked in confusion.

After the new emperor treated the founding heroes like this, isn't he afraid of being abandoned by others and the instability of the court?

"What did he do..."

"This..." The boss looked around hesitantly after hearing this...

"We've talked about this, what else is there to be taboo about?" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.

"To be honest, the details of what happened are all gossips heard by the people..."

"It is said that the great-granddaughter of the old Duke entered the palace to have fun with Princess Zhaoyang, and ran into the new emperor. The new emperor thought she was a maid, and on a whim, he directly..."

"But the old Duke has been a soldier all his life, and the woman is from a military family, so she must have good kung fu. She beat up the new emperor as a pervert..." The boss said, still feeling unsatisfied...

"Ah? There is such a thing?"

"Even if the new emperor was beaten, he would not kill all the descendants of the Rong Duke, right? Anyway, this is just a misunderstanding..." Chen Changsheng said.

"It stands to reason that if the new emperor takes a fancy to the great-granddaughter of the old Duke, he can just issue an imperial edict to bring her into the palace. The lineage of the Duke of Rong is related to the royal family."

"But the new emperor not only did not invite her into the palace, but soon began to make a major change in the court, suppressing the power of the old Duke openly and secretly, until the year before last, the old Duke took the initiative to resign. Logically, a veteran like the old Duke, who has made contributions to three dynasties and is the only veteran alive since the founding of the country, should have refused three times, but no, the new emperor directly approved it..."

"And in the first month after the old Duke resigned, all the people in the lineage of the Duke of Rong were dismissed and imprisoned..."

"It has been almost two years since then..." the boss sighed.

The old Duke is a good man, and he is also a capable man!

Not to mention the contributions made in the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu had a group of ruthless people under him, and at that time, the old Duke's role was not highlighted.

But Emperor Taizu also had a problem. Perhaps he was too confident and did not appoint a crown prince. As a result, after Taizu died suddenly, the court was unstable. Fortunately, there was still a queen mother who could preside over the overall situation. In addition, the old Duke took the initiative to support the eldest prince to succeed the throne, and the court gradually stabilized.

Two years later, the queen mother passed away, and the princes of Dagan took advantage of the situation to riot with cavalry. It was called the Eight Princes Rebellion at the time. It was so powerful that it directly swept across most of the country.

At that time, the old generation of generals fell, and the new generation did not have any outstanding talents.

At that time, the old Duke, who was already close to 80 years old, took command in leather armor and finally quelled the rebellion after a year and a half. The country was able to be peaceful. From then on, the old Duke was the pillar of Dagan!

Later, he gave up his military career and became a civil official. He served as prime minister, presided over the court, and issued various policies that benefited the people. For a time, the old Duke's prestige soared again.

Ten years ago, the old emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. The ruler was young and the country was in doubt. The border was unstable and the government was turbulent. The Donghu and Nanman invaded Dagan. The general Tongyunhou was greedy for merit and advanced recklessly. He lost 300,000 troops in one battle. The entire border was like a naked girl, at the mercy of others. The Donghu and Nanman were rampant, and the Dagan Dynasty was in tatters...

At that time, the nearly 100-year-old old Duke was once again entrusted with the task of saving the country. He once again took up the general's flag and went to war with his coffin. It took only half a year to defeat the Donghu and Nanman coalition forces, and took advantage of the situation to penetrate more than 700 miles into the Donghu territory, forcing the two countries to sign a humiliating alliance. The merits of expanding the territory made the old Duke's reputation reach its peak!

It can even be said that when the old Duke returned, with the power of victory, no one could stop him even if the dynasty changed, but he did not do so. After returning from the victory, he left the army outside the city, entered the city alone, returned the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops, resigned from the position of general, and returned to become a civil official!

At this moment, both the court and the people worshipped the old Duke very much, and even deified him, built various temples to worship him, and every family set up a longevity tablet for him...

"Pan Wu, Pan Wu, you must be very proud to have such an excellent son..." Chen Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.

It must be said that Pan Hua's achievements, in the secular world, are already a legend among legends.

As long as the people of Dagan world are still there, it is estimated that his reputation will be passed down, even if the dynasty changes. When studying history, he has become an unavoidable historical symbol, and he has truly sat in the history of history, just like the feelings of the descendants of Chen Changsheng's world towards Zhou Gong and Zhuge Liang, or even higher than them.

Because, from a certain perspective, Pan Hua's achievements in Dagan are much more exaggerated than those of Zhou Gong and Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang went to Qilian six times, but he was unable to achieve the great unification until his death. Although Pan Hua went to war less frequently, he returned with great victory every time, assisted the young master who was not independent, and was able to write to pacify the world and to determine the fate of the world with his military skills. He is truly a legend!

"Alas, in recent years, the news that the old Duke was imprisoned has also spread to Donghu and Nanman. It is said that the border is now somewhat unstable. At this time last year, the envoys of Donghu and Nanman who escorted the annual tribute had already arrived, but this year... I think it's hanging..." The boss sighed.

This annual tribute was a city-surrendering treaty signed by the old Duke with the two countries after the battle that year. For more than ten years, it has never been late, regardless of wind and rain, and this year...

"I'm afraid that when the envoys of the two countries came last year, they saw that the old Duke was imprisoned, so they tested it..." Chen Changsheng smiled.

A figure like Pan Hua, who is a stabilizing force, as long as he is not dead, even if he only has one breath left, Donghu and Nanman know that he will not be able to go out again, and they dare not get angry at this time...

It's really because of the battle ten years ago that they were shattered!

History is like this. The so-called general trend is rolling forward and unstoppable. However, in fact, history is controlled by people. Many times, just an unintentional action of the superior, or early death, etc., will have a great impact on history.

"It must be like this. I don't know what the new emperor is thinking. How can he confine the old Duke?"

"In order to crack down on the old Duke and prevent people from talking about it, the Qingyi Guard was established, saying that it has the power to monitor all officials and the world... Isn't this the Xunxian Department back then?"

"Except for not searching for immortals, it has all the rights..." the boss shouted.

"Humph, dare to slander my Qingyi Guard? Your story is exposed!"

"Come with me to the Tianlao!"

At this time, more than a dozen Qingyi Guards, with knives on their waists and iron chains in their hands, came together, and the leader had a ferocious face...
