Li Zeti poured a pot full of tea for Gongsun Changming, put down the teapot, looked at each other, and said, "Mr. Gongsun, are you all looking forward to me standing on behalf of Tang?" ”

Gongsun Changming laughed: "To this day, Li Xiang, do you still have to talk about him left and right?" Even if you really don't have this mind, I'm afraid that the times will push you step by step towards that position, and even if you really don't want to sit in that position, your subordinates will not agree, and they will put you in that seat if you carry it. Who doesn't want to be the founder of the country? ”

"Your Mr. Gongsun, you probably don't care about this, do you?" Li Ze shook his head and said, "If some of my other subordinates think so, I believe it, but your Mr. Gongsun is a real dung character. ”

Gongsun Changming's eyes dimmed for a moment, shook his head and sighed, "I'm tired." I've had no good luck in my life. Since the governor, all I saw was desolation, starvation, and the so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty, and I could only look for it from the stacks of books. After reading and enlightenment, he was determined to help the world, be a famous minister in the annals of history, and reproduce the glory of the prosperous era. has been studying for most of his life, but he is seeing that he is getting farther and farther away from his original intention. ”

"I heard Zhang Xun talk about it occasionally, are you and Zhang Hui still brothers in the same sect?" Li Zedao: "But why did you turn your back on it later? ”

"It's not the opposite." Gongsun Changming said: "At most, it can be regarded as different ways and do not conspire with each other." At first, I was the same as him, but seeing that the court was getting darker and weaker, and the world was getting darker and darker, I knew that I would delve into the universal road of moral articles again, but I was afraid that I would not be able to save the world in a short time, so I plunged headlong into the darkness. There was a fierce dispute with Zhang Hui about this, but at that time, even the master was on Zhang Hui's side, so I was angry and broke out of the door, which is also the reason why Zhang Hui hated me all his life, in his eyes, I was a traitor. ”

"I didn't expect to end up in the same place, right?" Li Ze burst out laughing. Life is indeed wonderful sometimes, Zhang Hui and Gongsun Changming, no matter how you look at them, they are also two extremes, if it weren't for Zhang Xun occasionally mentioning this matter, it would be hard for Li Ze to imagine that these two people were actually taught by the same person.

"Your Master is a great person, and he can teach both of you at the same time. But why is he himself nameless? Li Ze was a little curious.

"Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements." Gongsun Changming said. "From the moment I broke down the door, I walked farther and farther above the left side of Zhang Hui's mouth. And in order to prove me wrong, he also overcame difficulties and forged ahead, when I was in Lu Long to help Zhang Zhongwu, he also became the great sacrificial wine of the imperial court. ”

"At that time, you were all considered to be successful."

"But in the end, we didn't complete our ideas, Zhang Hui resigned gloomily and returned to the garden, and I, like a dog, escaped from Lu Long." Gongsun Changming said: "It's not strange to me that Zhang Zhongwu rebelled, but I know that his set can't save this world at all." It will only make the world more and more chaotic. ”

"Actually, what we did back then was similar to rebellion, why did Mr. Gongsun take a fancy to me later?" Li Ze asked with a smile.

"Where did I fancy you from the beginning?" Gongsun Changming smiled and said: "At that time, I had no way out, only you were willing to accept me." The others, including the Emperor and the other Jiezhen, probably wanted to send me to Zhang Zhongwu to appease his anger. ”

Saying this, Gongsun Changming pointed to the tomb not far away, "Although you are a little confused, you are still a man." Otherwise, I wouldn't know you Li Xiang. But when I met you at the time, I only thought that you would be a troublemaker, and I didn't expect that you would do so many things at such a young age. ”

"When did Mr. Gongsun think that I am a person who can be helped?" Li Ze asked.

"I really want to know?" Gongsun Changming's eyes widened and asked.

"Nature."

"From the moment you killed your brother." Gongsun Changming said: "At that time, I already knew a lot about you. I think this kid is amazing, he has the potential to be a hero, and he is more promising than Zhang Zhongwu. When you should endure it, you can endure it, and when you should do it, you will never be soft. But at some point, I don't really think you have the ability to end this troubled world, but you just rushed to the doctor. I never thought that along the way, my faith has become stronger and stronger, and I am glad that I chose someone in the first place. This troubled world looks like it's really coming to an end in your hands. I have a long-cherished wish in my life, and even if I die in the future, I will lie in the coffin and knock on the coffin board and sing. ”

Li Ze laughed: "If this is the case, I am afraid that it will scare the people who come to mourn." ”

"It's what I want to be happy to be shocked after a satisfying death." Gongsun Changming looked very proud.

Li Ze picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, "Mr. Gongsun, do you still have something to hide from me?" ”

"Nope!" Gongsun Changming said categorically.

"A few days ago, Tian Bo came to me, and he stopped talking." Li Ze smiled indifferently: "On the second day, Yang Kai came to see me, and he was also spitting. ”

Gongsun Changming shrugged: "Li Xiang, do you believe me?" ”

"Nature."

"Then do you believe Yang Kai and Tian Bo?"

"Of course, it's trust."

"In that case, why does Li Xiang want to know everything?" Gongsun Changming shook his head and said: "You are the one who sits in the highest position, there are some things, I think you just need to know the result, as for how some things are done in the middle, you know it clearly, but it is not necessarily a good thing, sometimes, it is better not to know." ”

I am also clear about this truth. I am a human being, not a god, and I cannot control everything. Li Ze said slowly: "There is no problem for Mr. Gongsun to have his own ideas, Yang Kai is in charge of the Yixing Society, and there is no problem with having his own ideas, in fact, there is a big gap between the current Yixing Society and what I originally envisioned, but it seems that the effect is not bad." But Tian Bo is different, he is an internal guard, and he is my retainer. ”

Gongsun Changming nodded and said, "So after this incident, Tian Bo should leave this position." I've known this cripple since the first day I met you, and he's always been very respectful to me, and I don't want him to end up in the future. ”

"Do you think I'll deal with him someday?" Li Ze was a little dissatisfied.

"People who have been in this position for a long time have definitely not ended well." Gongsun Changming said: "Li Xiang, this is not transferred by your will. Now the internal guard is still mainly external, once Li Xiangyou dominate the world in the future, a large part of the responsibilities of the internal guard will be turned inward. At that time, this location was a crater, ready to carry the black pot at any time. So I wanted to take this opportunity to get him out as well. ”

"So you're not ready to tell me about it yet?" Li Zedao.

"When it's time to tell Li Xiang, it will naturally be revealed, and now, there is not a single word of the eight characters." Gongsun Changming pouted.

"Or, I can probably guess what's going on." Li Ze sighed and said.

"Seeing through and not saying through is the quality that a superior person should have." Gongsun Changming said with a smile.

"Then who do you think will be able to take over this position after Tian Bo? That's a big deal. Li Ze asked.

"I think it's good for Gao Xiangsheng." Gongsun Changming recommended a candidate who surprised Li Ze: "When Li Xiang dominates the world and sits on the dragon throne, Gao Xiangsheng is the best hunting dog, Li Xiang, at that time, you need a person who has nothing to do with the vast majority of people now to sit in this position, only in this way can you really achieve deterrence, do you think Tian Bo is good?" He is ruthless to his enemies, but he is too soft-hearted to his own people. ”

"I see. Mr. Gongsun was really far-sighted. ”

"I'm all a small way, but to govern the country, in addition to conspiracy, conspiracy is also indispensable, yin and yang, balance is the right principle." Gongsun Changming said.

Li Ze nodded: "Mr. Gongsun, in fact, I have come to this point, saying that I don't want to go further, that is a lie, and besides, I don't care as much about reputation as you think." What is fame, and what is history books? It's just the victors who smear and rewrite. ”

He pointed to another tomb in the distance and said, "Mr. Bu Lie said that I will definitely cut off the relationship between the Su family and my Li family in the future." And before I could say it, someone was already doing it for me. ”

Gongsun Changming nodded, this matter, he understood after a little thought, if Li Ze became the emperor and posthumously sealed his parents, he would inevitably posthumously seal his biological mother. And in order to achieve this goal, the Su family can only be erased from the history books. In his opinion, this is not a big deal at all.

"The reason why I hesitate and look forward to the future in the eyes of the gentlemen, is not because of the reasons you think, but I have been thinking, how can I make the dynasty established by Li Ze not like the previous dynasties, after all, from prosperity to decline, from decline to death? It is said that the gentleman's Ze will be beheaded in the fifth generation, and I want to do it for thousands of generations, what should I do? ”

Listening to Li Ze's words, Gongsun Changming couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he really hadn't considered this question.

Every founding emperor, who doesn't want to be eternal, but since Yan Huang Yaoshun, who has done it? Li Ze's topic is too big, and he feels that he can't do it.

"Then Li Xiang has been thinking about it for so long, but can he get something?" Gongsun Changming faintly felt that a new door was opening to him. Li Ze's ideas sometimes are always so wild, but they are often effective.
