Perhaps sensing something, Zhao Zhi opened his eyes and saw Li Xun standing in front of him at this time.

"Dog, you're here."

Zhao Zhi's voice pulled Li Xun back from his contemplation.

Zhao Zhi, the long-lost dog, immediately lifted Li Xun's emotions.

Li Xun's eyes suddenly turned red, tears couldn't help but flow out, he knelt on the ground, and said with a cry: "Uncle Emperor, you must persevere, the country can't do without you." ”

Zhao Zhi said softly: "Before Wuzong, the emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty, most of them believed in Taoism, liked to eat pills, and pursued immortality, few people could live to be fifty years old, I have three out of sixty this year, among the emperors of the Zhao family, it is considered to be a long life, and now that he is dead, it is not a loss." ”

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, Taoism was the state religion, inherited for more than 400 years, until Wuzong succeeded to the throne, in order to increase the national tax revenue, liberate the population, began to reduce the Taoist temples on a large scale, where more than ten years, millions of Taoist priests were restored to the civil register, enhance local production and labor, countless land belonging to the Taoist temple was confiscated, this matter continued for decades, it was a very important political event in modern times of the Jin Dynasty.

Li Xun was silent.

Zhao Zhi grew up in the people, and was poor in his childhood, so that he knew the suffering of the people, so Zhao Zhi was different from other emperors, he was a man and did things, and even governed the country, talking about reality, more rational, and less utopian.

Zhao Zhi's personality and style of doing things have a great relationship with his childhood growth experience.

"When they saw me, they said a lot of words of consolation, thinking that you would do the same, but they didn't expect you to say nothing."

"Originally, I wanted to say something, but the emperor's uncle obviously has enough psychological preparation for what is about to happen, and it seems a little redundant for me to say those words."

Li Xun smiled bitterly and shook his head, everyone will be afraid of death, but from Zhao Zhi's body, Li Xun did not see these emotions, maybe Zhao Zhi just said what he was talking from his heart, he felt that it was enough to live to be sixty-three years old.

Zhao Zhi asked strangely, "Then why is it necessary for you to come in to see me?" ”

Li Xun said silently: "If you can take one more look, I'm afraid I can only remember the emperor's uncle in my memory in the future." ”

Listening to Li Xun's words, Zhao Zhi was slightly stunned, and then laughed, looking very happy and happy, he raised his palm tremblingly, touched Li Xun's face, and said with a smile: "Dog, everyone will change with experience and time, but the nature is difficult to change, you are a child who has been free and naughty since he was a child, his nature is very good, and he values love and righteousness, which is what I value the most." ”

Li Xun touched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "I am a little embarrassed by what the emperor's uncle said, in fact, most of the people in the world are still good people, and bad people are only a few, and many people have a character like mine." ”

Zhao Zhi said softly: "It is difficult for a bad person to become a good person, but it is very simple for a good person to become a bad person, it depends on a person's experience and environment, my biggest dream in my childhood is to be able to have a hundred acres of fertile land, a wife and a good child, but then ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhi stopped talking and didn't continue, maybe he thought of something, he didn't have a smile on his face, and he felt a little sad and guilty.

Li Xun knows what Zhao Zhi wants to say, a person may be kind and affectionate at the beginning, but often with the change of time and environment, and have to change, I remember when I just recognized my aunt Li Yi, Zhao Xun at that time took great care and care of himself, and he was very happy to suddenly have an extra cousin, Zhao Xun at that time had tenderness and affection in his heart, but to this day, how much is left of this emotion in Zhao Xun's heart?

What changed Zhao Xun? Maybe it's power and status.

Li Xun couldn't help but think of himself, is it still the same between himself ten years ago and his current self? Obviously, no, with the change of experience and environment, the perception and cognition of a thing may have been different for a long time, so what has changed itself? It's rights and status.

"Dog, what are you thinking?"

Zhao Zhi asked softly.

Li Xun said silently: "I've been idle for a while, in fact, I have figured out a lot of truths, rights and status may make people get great satisfaction and enjoyment, but at the same time, they will lose a lot, no rights and status, simple life, in fact, is very good." ”

Zhao Zhi said: "Have you ever hated me? ”

Li Xun pondered for a moment, and finally said silently: "At first, I had incomprehension and grievances, but in the end, I figured it out, the emperor's uncle is thinking about the overall situation, the whole world, my existence, I can't lose control, if I change it, I will definitely do it, this is not something that can be controlled by personal will." ”

Zhao Zhi looked at Li Xun, and there was a smile on his face again: "Dog, you can understand this truth, I am very pleased, as the son of heaven, as a superior, you must maintain enough sanity, and you must not be swayed by emotions to do things that violate the rules and the original, I am like this to Li Zhong and Zhao Bolin, and the same is true for you Li Xun, my actions towards you are for the country, the overall situation, not personal feelings." ”

"Dog, you have to remember that if a person reaches a certain height and status, you can be hypocritical, because you represent not yourself alone, but a group or a whole, your emotions and thoughts must not be easily seen through by others, once seen through by others, it is easy to be exploited by others, so that in the end by others to play between applause, do not do things like this, do not easily believe your own judgment, because that is often wrong, once things go on, Often there is no turning back, you must think about the retreat and consequences in advance, don't listen to the bullshit in the book, or don't do it, once you do it, even if you are wrong, you have to carry it out to the end, this is all nonsense, if I govern the country with such a reason, I am afraid that the Great Jin will already be dead in my hands. ”

Li Xun shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "It doesn't matter, because of my aunt's relationship, you don't want me to be too powerful, and the prince thinks the same, so ah, I'm afraid I'll be an idler in the future, what do you want to do so much." ”

Zhao Zhi looked at Li Xun and said lightly: "Are you really willing? ”

Li Xun was silent, and after a while, he said, "You'll get used to it." ”

After that, Li Xun looked at Zhao Zhi and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Emperor, as you know, I don't have any other ideas, I just want to do something to make life less boring, that's all." ”

Zhao Zhi looked at Li Xun silently, and after a long time, he said softly: "I believe in you." ”
