Chapter 643: Persuading Kong Rong (II)


"I wonder if the Han Emperor wanted to be like me and Xuzhou City and Taishan City," Kong Rong said.

While speaking, he looked directly at Liu Qi, with a firm look in his eyes, and a flash of light flashed from time to time.

Liu Qi had a smile on his lips and did not avoid Kong Rong's gaze.

Instead, he looked at him with no intention of giving in.

He asked instead, "I don't know what Mr.

Kong thinks."

Kong Rong, who looked at him, was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Liu Qi would kick the question back.

Then, thoughtfully, he said: "I don't know what Emperor Han thinks of me."

Instead of answering Liu Qi's 9 questions directly, he changed the topic.

Although he had a guess in his mind when he saw Liu Qi, Liu Qi's attitude made it impossible for him to be sure.

On the contrary, he became even more confused, and some of his thoughts overturned his guesses.

"Master Kong is an upright and loyal man.

Even I admire Master Kong as a person, but I cannot be the same as Master Kong because my thoughts are different from Master Kong's," Liu Qi said seriously.

Indeed, Kong Rong's character was still worthy of his admiration, but that was just admiration.

If he wanted to be like Kong Rong, he couldn't do it.

"What do you mean?"

Kong Rong was a little confused about Liu Qi's statement.

Liu Qi looked at Kong Rong, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "I wonder how Lord Kong understands loyalty and how he treats the people of the world."

"Loyalty means loyalty to the king.

The king is the king, and the ministers are ministers.

Just as the ancients said: If a loyal minister does not serve the two masters, then the world is not the king's land; the people of the world are not the king's people."

Kong Rong thought for a while and then said the answer in his mind.

Moreover, he did not feel that there was any mistake in his answer.

This statement was also formal and correct.

And this is also integrated by predecessors, which is very suitable to answer Liu Qi's question.

However.

Kong Rong felt that this was the most appropriate answer, but he saw the disappointment in Liu Qi's eyes and shook his head.

It was obvious that his answer was not approved by Liu Qi.

Liu Qi's actions also made him feel dissatisfied.

If it was compared to war, he was really not as good as Liu Qi, but if it was compared to knowledge, he didn't think he would be any worse.

At the same time, he also felt a sense of contention, and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Could it be that Emperor Han had a more suitable explanation?"

I heard Kong Rong's question and Kong Rong's tone.

Liu Qi didn't know that his actions just now aroused Kong Rong's dissatisfaction.

But he doesn't have any ideas because of this.

After all, he does have different ideas from Kong Rong.

He took a sip of tea and said: "There is nothing wrong with Master Kong's statement.

This is the difference between me and Master Kong."

"In my opinion, loyalty is only to the country.

To put it simply, loyalty is not to the people in power, but to the people of the world.

Even if I am now the king of a country, this idea has not changed."

"The world is the world of the people of the world, not the world of individuals.

After all, without the people of the world, I would not be where I am now.

I am just governing."

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.

If you don't support the people of the world, how can you support the king?

The second generation of Qin Jing died, and the Han Dynasty also came to an end more than 400 years after its founding.

They are all Because the people of the world don’t need me to explain why they are like this.”

"Except for the names, there is no difference between us and the many common people.

Could it be that Mr.

Kong thinks that we have one more head or more shoulders than the common people in the world?

No, after a hundred years, we will all be just the same person.

It’s just holding loess.”

"As for why there are different differences, it's just that the nobles are in charge of all the books, and only a few of them are among the people."

"And I am not doing it because of righteousness, let alone for the people of the world.

It is just sprinkled on the road.

The reason why I work hard is just to wait until I grow old.

Looking back, my life is just mediocrity.

Yes, at least there are passionate memories.”

"I am only doing it for myself.

As for the others, it is just incidental.

What's more, I can't stop now."

To the end.

Liu Qi's face was a little flushed, obviously excited.

And there was a burning light flashing in his eyes.

Hear the words.

Kong Rong was also stunned.

Liu Qi's words had a great impact on him.

The belief in his heart was shaken a little because of Liu Qi's words, as if he was trying to overturn the belief in his heart.

On the surface, there is no problem with what Liu Qi said.

It seems to be correct, but if you think about it carefully, you feel that it is wrong.

But if there is something wrong, I can't tell.

He pointed at Liu Qi with trembling fingers and trembling lips.

After a while, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and said: "After all, Emperor Qi is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so why do you, Emperor Han, have to kill everyone?"

Liu Qi glanced at Kong Rong, shook his head and said: "This is the general trend, and it is better for me to take over Emperor Qi's territory than to fall into the hands of others.

What's more, the people of Qingzhou will always be better under my governance than under my rule.

It will be better under Emperor Qi’s governance.”

"I don't want to make things difficult for Master Kong, let alone go to war with Master Kong.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come in person today."

After saying that, he looked at Kong Rong quietly, waiting for Kong Rong's answer.

After listening to Liu Qi’s words.

There was hesitation in Kong Rong's eyes.

He also felt that Liu Qi's statement was not wrong.

After all, Liu Qi was also a descendant of the Han clan, so he was no different from what he was loyal to.

What's more, he also knew that under Liu Qi's rule, not to mention that all the people were very wealthy, but the people were all living in plenty, which was very different from that under Liu Bei's rule.

This may also be the reason why Liu Qi's subordinates are able to fight even to the death.

His eyes slowly became firm.

"Han Emperor, what do you want me to do?"

After saying that, Kong Rong seemed to be a little older.

His originally straight waist was a little slouched, but his eyes showed a feeling of comfort.

It was as if the repression in his heart was released and his whole body relaxed.

Hear Kong Rong's question.

Liu Qi also showed a look of joy and said: "I don't need Master Kong like Xuzhou City and Taishan City.

I only need Master Kong to lead his army back to the East China Sea.

I can guarantee that as long as Master Kong obeys my governance plan, The East China Sea is the land of the Confucius family."

Now that he had a way, he didn't want to get rid of Kong Rong.

After all, Kong Rong still had a certain reputation in Qingzhou.

And it was just for the Kong family to govern the East China Sea.

What's more, that was what the Kong family said after accepting his orders.

"Okay, if that's the case, I'll take my leave first."

Kong Rong took a deep look at Liu Qi, and after making his decision, he also corrected his identity.

He cupped his hands and walked out of the simple shed
