Chapter 232 Gambling
Fan Qinghui said to Song Que earnestly, "Are you willing to stay?"

Song Que stared at Fan Qinghui in silence.

Fan Qinghui said, "If you leave today, the world will once again be handed over to the tyrant Yang Guang. The common people of the world will once again be ruled by him in a bloody way. Can you bear it?"

Song Que remained silent.

Fan Qinghui continued, "It's easy to change a country, but it's hard to change one's nature. Think about what Yang Guang did in the past. He built a palace on a large scale, and in order to make it easier for him to travel to Yangzhou, he dug through the Nanbai River without any consideration for the people's strength. After that, he invaded Goryeo three times, and launched an endless war of aggression and slaughter."

"It is not a blessing for the world to have such an unjust and incompetent ruler in power!"

Fan Qinghui added: "Yang Guang's actions in Luoyang are obviously to make everyone in the world read books and become superior people. This is obviously absurd. It should not be allowed to everyone. If everyone reads books and is wise, the world will be completely in chaos. How can a country have so many official positions for them?"

"This world needs scholars to govern the country, warriors to guard the borders, merchants to do business, and farmers to farm. If Yang Guang violates this rule, there will be chaos in the world."

Song Que remained silent.

Fan Qinghui said: "If you want to keep the world in order, let the common people not be too smart. This is an eternal rule. Let these people be a little stupid and foolish, so as to maintain peace and stability in the world. Once they have knowledge, they will become smart, and when they are smart, they will have ambitions, and when they are ambitious, they will want to break the class system."

Fan Qinghui didn't say the rest, but Song Que knew what he wanted to say.

That is, those who gain knowledge will think of overthrowing the aristocratic families who occupy the resources.

Fan Qinghui said seriously: "Are you willing to contribute to the welfare of the people of the world?"

Song Que ended his silence and said, "You should know that Yang Guang's strength is unfathomable, and there are so many masters at his disposal. If the battle continues, the situation will be extremely tragic. At that time, it will inevitably be a race against time!"

Fan Qinghui nodded and said, "I know. At that time, Li Jiancheng's 200,000 troops will invade Luoyang and massacre all the people in the city, cutting off the foundation for Yang Guang to rule the world again. Or Yang Guang will be quicker to behead Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng."

Song Que said: "You are a monk and should be compassionate. Helping Li Shimin and others to commit such a massacre will definitely make your Taoism collapse."

Fan Qinghui was also confused, but he finally made up his mind and said firmly: "In order to prevent the world from falling into chaos again, the people from being displaced, and the land from being ravaged by war, Qinghui is willing to bear the endless slaughter, even if he cannot see the way of heaven and goes to hell after death."

Finally, Fan Qinghui asked Song Que again: "Are you willing to contribute to the welfare of the people of the world?"

but,

Song Que shook his head.

Fan Qinghui was stunned for a moment.

Song Que said, "Qinghui, you still underestimate me, Song Que. The fact that I, Song Que, can keep the Song family standing proves that I am not stupid. I know what you are thinking. I also understand that you want to use my feelings for you to interfere with me. Let me make the decision and do things for you."

Fan Qinghui's face turned pale immediately, and he thought to himself, "Did I fail?"

Song Que said: "As the supreme leader of the Song clan, I can't easily make a decision just because of my feelings for you. It would be disastrous for the Song clan."

Fan Qinghui said: "You..."

Song Que said in a deep voice: "But if you can really get all the grandmasters to resist Yang Guang together, I am willing to fight."

Fan Qinghui was overjoyed when he heard this, and then went to contact other people.

Song Que looked at Yang Guang in the distance and sighed secretly.

Song Que has always looked down on Yang Guang. Even though Yang Guang's military power won his recognition, he still looked down on Yang Guang.

I think Yang Guang is a fool. He could destroy the vast territory left by his father Yang Jian. What else could he be but a fool?
but,

Today his three views were refreshed.

After hearing what Li Yuan said, he felt a palpitation.

He was shocked.

His fear of Yang Guang has now reached the highest level. Yang Guang's scheming and cunningness are simply unprecedented in the history of mankind.

Song Que thought to himself, "To Yang Guang, the world is just a chessboard, and all living beings are just his chess pieces. To play this game, the chess player must be extremely ruthless, extremely cold-blooded, and have an extremely big mind. Otherwise, it will be impossible to proceed. Every step will cost thousands of lives, and every step will result in endless blood."

The powerful Sui Dynasty collapsed, and rebellions broke out all over the country. The people didn't know how many people died because of this.

Ordinary people like Kou Zhong thought that Yang Guang was simply stupid and that Yang Guang exploited the people to the extreme for his own pleasure.

People from aristocratic families like Song Que believed that Yang Guang was trying to get rid of the dependence and restrictions of the Guanlong clans, but he accidentally failed.

But they were all wrong.

This was deliberately collapsed.

The purpose is to wipe out all the aristocratic families in one fell swoop and then have a clean dynasty.

Song Que couldn't help but sigh, "Yang Guang really dared to gamble! He used his vast territory to set up a big plan, and let the noble families in the world fall into the trap. If he won, he could get a world completely under his control, but if he lost, he would inevitably lose his country and be infamous for eternity."

At this time, Song Que was actually forced into a corner.

He had no choice but to fight to the death with Yang Guang.

He represents the aristocratic families, while Wang Ming is clearly trying to subvert them.

Song Que admired Yang Guang's courage for setting up such a big plan.

and,

It now seems that Yang Guang has a good chance of winning.

Song Que thought to himself, "It's a pity that he and I are destined not to live in peace. There is no morality or grudges between us, only positions."

Song Que was well aware of Wang Ming's terrifying strength. If he could keep his momentum and state of mind in perfect condition in a battle alone, he would be able to win.

But the probability of this is very small.

If I choose to fight Yang Guang at this time, my chances of returning alive will be very slim.

then,

Song Que found his second brother Song Zhi and sent him a message: "Go back to Lingnan immediately and arrange for some of the clan members to go out and hide, leaving a spark for the family!"

Song Zhi was shocked when he heard this. He just opened his mouth to ask his elder brother what happened, looked around and immediately sent a voice message: "What happened?"

Song Que said: "Once Yang Guang wins, our Song clan will inevitably be liquidated. So you must prepare in advance."

Song Zhi said: "What are you afraid of with my elder brother here? You were able to lead us to stop the attack of Yang Guang's father back then, and you can definitely do it this time."

Song Que shook his head and said, "This time is different! We only have one chance to win, and that is now. If we miss today, we will never have another chance."

Song Zhi had a dazed look on his face.

Song Que said with a heavy face: "Today I will fight with Yang Guang, and I may never come back."

Song Zhi said: "Brother, why are you so pessimistic?"

Song Que said: "You don't understand, just leave quickly."

Finally, Song Zhi quietly left the battlefield with a heavy heart.
