Chapter 492: Great ambition(2/2)
Explanation. In short, he was completely tamed.
Although Guo Chong sometimes feels that his behavior is too much, deep down, Guo Chong doesn't actually want to have a bone-to-bone fratricide. He just doesn't want it to get to that point, so he does these things in advance to prevent his younger brother from doing so in the future.
He will become ambitious and compete with himself for things that do not belong to him.
In fact, one day after the two brothers grew up, Guo Chong also apologized and blamed himself to Guo Bing for some of his childhood behaviors. Guo Chong said that he was ignorant at the time and was too mean to Guo Bing. Guo Bing also said
That was just because he was ignorant when he was a child, and he had long forgotten this. But Guo Chong still felt awe and alienation from Guo Bing. But in fact, what Guo Chong wanted to see was this ever-present awe and alienation, because only
In this way, Guo Bing will never force himself to do something he doesn't want to do.
After that, his younger brother got the order and went to Hangzhou to suppress the bandits, and his father issued an order allowing him to guard the capital in Hangzhou. At first, Guo Chong was happy because it meant that he would no longer have any obstacles on his way to becoming the master of the world.
It wasn't until one day that he heard the truth about this matter from his mother, and he realized that it was all arranged by his father. His father saw that he was mean to his younger brother, and he told his mother that he was worried about his appearance.
Guo Bing couldn't be bettered, so he decided to let Guo Bing leave the capital and stay far away in Hangzhou in the name of suppressing bandits. This was actually a kind of protection.
When he heard this, the anger in Guo Chong's heart was indescribable. His father really liked his younger brother. But what was annoying was that his younger brother actually accepted such an arrangement. Just like when he was a child, he accepted his father again
Despite the care given to him, he forgot the warning he gave him when he was a child. All his awe and respect were actually fake. He went to Hangzhou and stayed away from himself, which just showed that there was something wrong in his heart.
Fortunately, there were no bumps in his path to the throne. Sixteen years after becoming the prince, he finally became the master of Zhou Dynasty and the most powerful person in the world. But after the initial joy, he soon discovered that
What kind of situation is he facing? It seems that it is not what he imagined.
When he was still the prince, Guo Chong had great revenge and ambition. He saw many things that made him very dissatisfied.
For example, when Huizong was on the throne, he made the terms of the Yan-Yun Alliance with the Liao people. When the Zhou Dynasty was at its peak, the Liao people invaded, which was a great opportunity to expand their territory. However, at that time, they actually concluded the Yan-Yun Alliance with the Liao people.
The Yun Zhimeng agreed to give 500,000 taels of annual currency in exchange for peaceful coexistence between the two countries.
This is simply unbelievable to Guo Chong. Huizong's reign was highly regarded, but in Guo Chong's view, this incident has become a stain that cannot be washed away. It is not actually a matter of money. Five hundred thousand taels
Money is nothing, it’s a matter of face and the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty. How could the Zhou Dynasty, which had millions of soldiers, be forced to form an alliance under the city by the opponent’s 200,000 cavalry? This is humiliating and unacceptable.
Guo Chong thought: Once he ascends the throne as emperor, the first thing he will abolish is this covenant. If the Liao people dare to violate it, he will take the opportunity to expand the territory and destroy them. If he can do this, he will undoubtedly take the throne.
Listed among the kings and emperors.
What's more, in such a glorious and prosperous country as the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were still mountain bandits, lake bandits, and sea bandits in the country, causing chaos and chaos. However, the previous dynasty and the emperor could not even calm down the banditry in the country for so many years.
To say something ugly and disrespectful, they are not worthy of being wise and promising. Once he ascends the throne, he will eradicate these cancers in the country one by one, so that the seas are clear and the rivers are clear, and the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be truly clear.
The peaceful and prosperous age is like a peach blossom garden.
In short, when he was young, Guo Chong had great expectations for his future. He felt that if he ascended the throne, he would make achievements that were no less than those of Emperor Qin and Emperor Han of Han Dynasty, and he would definitely become a wise king and holy lord praised by future generations. He
He was very dissatisfied with some of the practices of the previous emperors of the Zhou Dynasty. He believed that they failed to do what an emperor should do. They were all a bit cowardly and timid, and did not have the courage to kill decisively and resolutely. He thought that maybe this was
It was God's choice to let himself take on this heavy responsibility when the Zhou Dynasty was content with its status quo. On the one hand, it could reverse many of the previous mistakes of the Zhou Dynasty, and on the other hand, it could achieve its reputation as an emperor through the ages. All of this was
God has destined it, it is natural.
However, when Guo Bing came to the throne, he soon discovered how ridiculous and naive his previous ideas were. What he thought would be achieved overnight turned out not to be that way at all. What he thought was too simple and too idealistic.
