Chapter Ninety-One: The Good Man and the Good Emperor

Lin Te and Ding Wei, Wang Qinruo and others are called the five ghosts, among which Ding Wei and Wang Qinku are the most famous, but Lin Te is also not bad, the history books say that he is "evil and dangerous by nature, good at attaching to the will", when Wang Qinruo was powerful, he was attached to Wang Qinruo, and now Ding Wei is powerful, he is naturally attached to Ding Wei, and Li Di has always looked down on Ding Wei, the two are like fire and water in the court, Lin Te is Ding Wei's person, Li Di naturally has no good face for him.

"Cousin, Lin Yishan is actually a very kind person, why do you want to conflict with him?" At this moment, Zhao Zhen suddenly said a little unhappy, Li Zhang and Lin Te are both people he is very close to, so he naturally hopes that they can get along peacefully, but now this hope has been disappointed.

"Cousin, you are still young, and you still don't know the sinister nature of the human heart, but you have to remember that you can't just look at the surface of people, especially not because a person is good to you, you can't think that he is a good person!" Li Zhang said solemnly at this time, this can be regarded as the first lesson he taught to Zhao Zhen.

"So cousin, are you a good guy or a bad guy?" Zhao Zhen suddenly asked a little trickyly.

"Haha, I'm not a good person, but I'm not a bad person either, if I have to make a choice, then I choose to be a bad person." Li Zhang laughed when he heard Zhao Zhen's words.

"Why?" Zhao Zhen asked again with some puzzlement.

"Because it's so tiring to be a good person!" Li Zhang said a little melancholy at this time, of course he would not tell Zhao Zhen that he had been issued a good person card too many times in his previous life, so he already had a psychological shadow, so whoever dared to say that he was a good person later, he would be anxious with whomever he could.

"Is it really tiring to be a good person?" Zhao Zhen whispered as if he didn't understand at this time, with his age, he couldn't understand the deeper meaning of Li Zhang's words.

"Of course it's tiring, and you won't be a good person in the future!" Li Zhang suddenly smiled at this time.

"Why can't I be a good person?" Zhao Zhen was also very unhappy when he heard Li Zhang's words, he thought he was very good, and the ministers in the court also praised him for his kindness as a prince, and no one ever said that he was bad.

"Because if you want to be a good emperor, you can't be a good person, such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and others, which of them do you think is a good person?" Li Zhang asked again with a smile.

Zhao Zhen in history is actually a good person, in order not to let the servants around him be offended, he would rather eat the rice with sand, and would rather be hungry at night than increase the expenses in the palace, and he can also be generous and tolerant of the offenses of the courtiers, so when he died, he added a Renzong temple number, and even the Northern Liao and Western Xia were very sad about his death.

However, in Li Zhang's view, Zhao Zhen, as an emperor, can't just think about being a good person, although he is also doing well as an emperor, he can only be called good, in fact, he can do better, for example, it was during his reign that the Western Xia rose, and the Liao State was also in a chaotic period at that time, but the Great Song Dynasty failed to seize the opportunity to recover Yanyun, which also laid the foundation for the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty in the future.

"This ......" Zhao Zhen was stunned again when he heard Li Zhang's words, although he was young, he was familiar with history books, and naturally knew the deeds of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, both of whom were the most famous heroes in history, but they were by no means good people, after all, even their own sons dared to kill, and it was really unconvincing to say that they were good people.

"Then can I be a good emperor and a good person at the same time?" Zhao Zhen was stunned for a while, and finally asked again with some unwillingness.

"There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world, there must be a gain and a loss, for example, as a prince, you have been clothed and fed since you were a child, but you have lost the freedom and happiness of ordinary children." Li Zhang also said with emotion at this time, he had just been here for a day, and he already felt very boring, I really don't know how Zhao Zhen persevered for so many years?

Zhao Zhen was silent for a long time at this time, and finally said in a heavy tone: "Good person? Good Emperor? If I really don't have a choice, I'm afraid everyone in the world wants me to be a good emperor. ”

"It's okay if you don't do it, anyway, I don't plan to be a good person, when the time comes, let's be a bad guy together, it's best to destroy Beiliao, the Khitan men are slaves, and the women are prostitutes, you can also taste the taste of being a generation of male masters!" Li Zhang patted Zhao Zhen's shoulder and comforted him at this time.

"Huh? Northern Liao and we are brothers, how can we attack easily? At this time, Zhao Zhen was taken aback by Li Zhang's words again.

"A country of brothers, which brother do you see asking for money from his brother every year? And when they fought Grass Valley, they didn't kill our Song people, these are all your subjects, don't you want to avenge them? At this time, Li Zhang said disdainfully again, the covenant is used to tear up, and no one in the Liao and Song dynasties can destroy anyone now, so the current situation is maintained, but if there is really a great increase in strength, it will definitely break the current balance.

"I ...... I ......" Zhao Zhen couldn't say it at this time, although he felt that what Li Zhang said was very reasonable, but it was contrary to the education he had received over the years, so he didn't know how to choose for a while.

"Well, you're still young, and it's a little too hard for you to think about these issues." Li Zhang also knew that he was talking a little too much today, and Zhao Zhen couldn't accept it for a while, so when he said this, he took out the Rubik's Cube given to him by Zhao Zhen from his arms and said with a smile, "Don't you want to learn the Rubik's Cube, I'll teach you!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Zhen is a child after all, and when he heard that Li Zhang was going to teach him a Rubik's Cube, he immediately threw away the troubles just now.

The Rubik's Cube is known as a miracle in the world of intellectual games, this thing looks complicated, and it is more complicated to play, if you don't know the skills, you may not be able to play well in your life, so Zhao Zhen has studied for a few months and has not made any progress, but now under the guidance of Li Zhang, he has also quickly mastered the trick, but it still needs a long time of practice.

However, when Zhao Zhen was playing with the Rubik's Cube with great interest, Lint came here again, this time he came to teach, Zhao Zhen hurriedly hid the Rubik's Cube in his sleeve, and Lint didn't dare to trouble Li Zhang again this time, but he ignored Li Zhang, but Li Zhang was happy and relaxed, sitting there and looking at the thousand words of Wen silent.

The afternoon class time was relatively short, and it was over in about an hour, and then Lin Te packed up his things and left, probably because he was reprimanded by Li Di, and he didn't dare to stay here longer, but when he left, he glared at Li Zhang fiercely, and Li Zhang naturally didn't show weakness and gave him a roll of his eyes.

In fact, Li Zhang can also see that this Lin Te is known for being opportunistic, he probably saw that Zhao Heng was not long in life, so he wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Zhao Zhen as the crown prince, and may even want to manipulate Zhao Zhen through his feelings, in fact, he is also about to succeed, and Zhao Zhen has a very good impression of him, but Li Zhang suddenly killed, and compared to Lint, Li Zhang simply has too many advantages, not only Zhao Zhen's cousin, but also the two are of the same age, which makes Cai Lin feel threatened.

"Cousin, it's still early, tell me a few more jokes!" At this time, Zhao Zhen grabbed Li Zhang's sleeve and said, as if he was afraid that Li Zhang would go back now.

"It's not funny to hear too many jokes, so let's do something else." Li Zhang refused to talk about it at this time, after all, no matter how many jokes he had in his head, there would always be a day when he would finish speaking, and he also felt a little tired after studying this day, so it was better to do something else to relax.

"So what to do?" Zhao Zhen asked rhetorically without any idea at all, he was usually used to it alone, but now that there was suddenly Li Zhang, a playmate, he didn't know what to play for a while?

"Is there anything interesting in the palace?" Li Zhang asked again at this time, the last time he came to the palace, he only went to the Vertical Arch Palace, and this time since he had time, he also wanted to go around the palace more.

"Yes, the Imperial Garden can fish, and if we can get rid of the waiter, maybe we can climb trees and dig birds' eggs." Zhao Zhen suddenly became excited at this time, and when he mentioned digging birds' eggs, his two eyes were shining brightly, as if in his opinion, this was the most fun thing.

Li Zhang covered his head helplessly when he heard this, and felt more and more that Zhao Zhen was too pitiful, it seemed to other children to be an ordinary thing, but it was a luxury for him, but climbing a tree was really a bit dangerous, in case Zhao Zhen really fell, he couldn't afford to take this responsibility.

"Well, I'll teach you a game!" Li Zhang picked up a piece of paper from the table as he spoke, and after a while, it was folded into an airplane, and then with a gentle push, the paper airplane flew out for a long distance before landing.

"It's fun!" When Zhao Zhen saw this, he immediately jumped up and picked up the plane, and threw it around the house, Li Zhang didn't care about him, and continued to pick up the paper and folded some things, such as frogs, paper cranes, boats, etc., he liked origami when he was a child, and these small things also came casually.

"Cousin, you're amazing, how do you seem to come up with these things?" Zhao Zhen looked at the delicate origami in Li Zhang's hands, and he also admired the five-body throwing to the ground at the moment.

"These are nothing at all, I came today without preparation, and I will bring you something interesting when I come tomorrow!" Li Zhang smiled indifferently at this time, this is a place to study, there is nothing else except paper and pen books, otherwise he can teach Zhao Zhen to play more games.

"Really, that's great, cousin, don't forget to say something fun for me today, you'll have to bring me something fun tomorrow!" Zhao Zhen also showed an ecstatic expression when he heard Li Zhang's words, and even wished that time would pass quickly.

"But play and play, don't fall behind in your homework, otherwise I won't be able to do this companion for too long!" At this time, Li Zhang suddenly opened his mouth to warn, he didn't want to cause Zhao Zhen to abandon his studies because of his own reasons, otherwise even if Liu E protected him, Li Di's ministers would tear him to pieces.
