The next afternoon.

In the Palace of Ten Thousand Years.

Inside the Great Treasure Hall.

Li Zhi put his hands behind his back, looked at the backflow pot that De'an was serving, and said lightly for a while:

"Have you ever asked who sent such a thing into Zhong'er's Palace?"

Dean lowered his head, and said lightly after a while:

"I've already asked."

"Who?"

"Concubine Xiao."

Li Zhi shook his head, smiled indifferently, and said coldly:

"So...... In other words, it was the person who did it again? ”

"Mostly ......"

Dean didn't dare to look up, just stared at the ground.

Li Zhi was not angry, looking at him like this, he felt pity in his heart, and said softly:

"I don't blame you."

"The Lord is to blame for De'an's failure to get things done...... That's what keeps the thief's heart alive...... Got a chance. ”

The more Dean spoke, the more his head lowered.

Li Zhi shook his head and said:

"If he has this heart, then no matter how much you are, you will not be able to stop his heart. I can't say that I am under his handwriting, but I can retreat with my whole body, let alone you. ”

Dean raised his head and looked at Li Zhi, his eyes were ashamed and grateful.

Li Zhi smiled again, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, but said with a straight face:

"If you make a mistake, you might as well worry, what matters is whether you can solve these things completely."

With a long breath, Li Zhi said softly:

"It's been too long...... It's time to solve. ”

Dean looked at Li Zhi, his eyes were a little surprised, and even more excited:

"The Lord Means ......"

"Spread my will, the game that was laid out before, but now it's time to attack."

Dean was overjoyed and said softly:

"Yes!"

Then he hurried out of the temple.

Li Zhi looked at his figure, shook his head and smiled, became serious again, hung his head seriously, and thought about it for a while before asking softly:

"Master, you say, am I too anxious?"

Secretly, a figure suddenly appeared, but it was Li De Award, who bowed lightly to Li Zhi, but the Award asked softly:

"But I still remember what the Lord said to listen to the Virtue Award......

After returning the favor to his mother, he thought of returning to the countryside and living in seclusion, after all, although he knew that he was not talented, he did not want to get involved in too many things in the world.

However, in the end, because I heard the last sentence of the Lord:

Ning has carried the world all her life, and she is the one who should be exchanged for a beautiful wife......

After all, the award still failed to let go of this wish, and wished to see the world's lovers finally return with a good companion.

Therefore, the award really doesn't know where the Lord's sentence comes from?

Could it be that time is fleeting, and people's hearts are easy to age...... The Lord already thinks that this world is a little more important than Zhaoyi Niangniang? ”

Li Zhi turned his head, looked at him, and said calmly:

"I have known one thing since I was a child, and the rarest thing in this court for thousands of years is that what I encounter is actually truly loved. That's why when I met Mei Niang, I was also entangled for a long time, because I really understood a truth......

At that time, between me and Mei Niang, there was only one way to go, I was the emperor's plan, and she was the king's wife.

Although I also had a conjecture, I thought that I could persuade my father to give Mei Niang to me, and from then on I would only be a free husband and wife and live happily......

But later, after I learned everything Mei Niang was carrying, I deeply understood that such an idea was simply a fantasy.

Whether it is Mei Niang or me, neither I can nor can lose everything I have on my back.

For her, what she is burdened with is the hope of being cut off from her ignorant and heartless mother, forgetting her father's hurt and hatred for her mother, and finally she will be freed.

For me, it is to avenge my mother, comfort my father's heart, calm the brotherhood, and correct the responsibility of the Li royal family and even the future of the Tang Dynasty.

It's all that we both can't escape in our lives......

To be clear, this is what the two of us must do in this life, and it is also the responsibility that we have to face, and we can't escape or get rid of it. ”

Li Zhi took a deep breath and spit it out again, before he slowly lowered his head and frowned, and continued softly:

"So from that moment on...... From the moment I decided to fight for the throne, I knew one thing, if I wanted to get what I wanted, if I wanted her to be my lifelong companion, I had to accept a fact:

Or in this life, it is impossible to marry her. Even if she looked back, she was lucky, but she could no longer think that she would be able to devote herself to me after all, and be willing to transcend all shackles and entanglements for me, and move forward hand in hand with me. ”

Li Zhi closed his eyes, and only opened them again after a while, his eyes were full of warmth, like a spring breeze blowing spring water, and a pool of new blue and green ripples.

Subconsciously, he pressed a place in front of his chest:

"To put it more clearly, from the very beginning, I knew that between me and Mei Niang, or just a gamble, I gambled everything I had, and bet that she would eventually fall in love and be a companion......

And everything about me, what is it?

Power, status, wealth, the world......

Even revenge, brotherhood......

These are all and they are not. ”

Li Zhi turned his head to look at the thoughtful eyes of the German Award, and said with a light smile:

"All that I have is my good, my bad, my good, my evil, my kindness, my malice...... Everything I have, I use as a bargain to bet everything on her, her good, her bad, her goodness, her kindness, her malice......

It's a gamble, with the world as the attached chip, with everything I have, and she is a gamble on everything.

And this bet, for me at the time, I don't say that it is a seven-point chance of winning, but I am afraid that there is no five-point chance of winning or even a three-point chance of winning.

I'm betting on that just one possibility.

And I won the bet after all.

So now, I never think that whether it is the supreme position in the world or the power of the Son of Heaven in the sea, there is nothing to lose, and there is nothing to lose.

Because these were just appendages to what I wanted the most, they were just necessary means to be able to be with her for the rest of my life.

What can't you afford to lose, what's so big about it? ”

De Cheng looked at Li Zhi in shock, and opened his mouth for a while.

Li Zhi chuckled and said lightly:

"Yes......

Or if I let others listen to what I said today, they will think that I am really a big faint king, and it is really better to push it down.

But master, since I was a child, I have always looked at my father and emperor, looked at the emperors in the history books, and thought about one thing:

The so-called emperor, what is a good emperor and what is an evil emperor? ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhi turned his head and looked at Li De Award.

The award was silent, and after a while, he said lightly:

"If you look at the eyes of the people of the world, you have the world in your heart, love the people like a son, and only care about the well-being of the country, you are the real good emperor. is only for his own pleasure, regardless of whether the people live or die, that is the real evil emperor. ”

Li Zhi shook his head and said seriously:

"No, the master is wrong. A truly good emperor is one who loves people. The real evil emperor never knows how to love people. ”

The award was stunned for a while, and then said:

"The artistic conception in the Lord's words, the moral award is really difficult to understand."

"And what is there to comprehend?" Li Zhi shook his head with a smile, breathed a long sigh of relief, got up and slowly walked to the steps, sat down on the lunch steps, and said slowly after a while:

"Master, think about it, what is this so-called emperor going to do?

Governing the country, leveling the world, and ensuring people's livelihood, right? ”

De Zhi thought for a while, nodded silently, and then under Li Zhi's signal, he also sat next to Li Zhi, who was dressed in a dragon robe, but sat casually like the young man in the past.

Li Zhi watched him sit down, nodded and smiled, and then continued:

"Governing the country, leveling the world, and ensuring people's livelihood...... It may seem difficult to say, but it couldn't be simpler......

Everything should be headed by the hearts of the people. ”

Thoughtful Awards:

"The ...... of people's hearts"

"Yes, human hearts. As an emperor, if you really think that you are the son of heaven, you can abandon all the seven emotions and six desires in the world, and ignore all love, hatred, and hatred......

To be as if you were a god is a great absurdity.

Not only is it just a big absurdity, but it is not worthy of being an emperor at all.

Because the so-called emperor is first to be a man, and then to be the emperor of man.

From beginning to end, I can't get rid of this glyph. So what I don't like the most is to watch Zhong'er being taught by those old masters to read the so-called Book of the Son of Heaven all day long......

Shengsheng actually gave this child to the appearance of the so-called Ming Jun who pretended to be the son of heaven in the previous dynasty and set himself up to save the people from fire and water.

It's a pity that this kid can no longer know the truth that if he wants to be an emperor, he must first be a human being. ”

Li De seems to have realized: "If you want to be the emperor, you must first be a human ......

If you can't be a good person, how can you be an emperor?

If you can't love your wife and children, how can you love all the people of the world? ”

Li Zhi nodded with a smile:

"Look at your father, and you'll know.

Why can my father be a king?

To put it bluntly, it's just because my father was fortunate to be loved all his life and knew what love was like, and because of this, he understood better than the so-called previous generations of Ming monarchs what was most important to the people......

Because for him, the most important thing is the same thing:

The family is prosperous, the food and clothing are worry-free, the body is healthy, and the wife and children are happy......

Master, do you know? My father had spoken to me again and again during his lifetime, saying that in his life, he had also thought about achieving the name of the Emperor of the Ages, but in the end, he found that what he really wanted was to see his mother and brother, as well as me, and my sisters, gather together in His Highness, laugh and be happy, and wait for him to come back, tell more new and happy things, and tell how he has done great things......"

Li Zhi said lightly:

"As far as my father is concerned, what he ultimately desires in his life, what he finally desires, and what he finally obtains is nothing more than the supreme satisfaction brought to him by a wife who knows him and understands him, loves him and values him even more......

Such a woman who knows him and understands him, and the recognition of a woman who loves him and values him more than he loves can let him know who he really is, and can make what he does in this life have some sense of reality...... So......

Master, although I couldn't figure it out before, since my father had already had the intention to marry Mei Niang to me, why did he design it like this?

Is it really just for the Tang Dynasty?

It wasn't until two days ago, after I heard about Zhong'er, that I suddenly figured it out......

It turned out that what my father did was not for the Tang Dynasty, but for me......

In order for me to finally know how to protect my loved ones from being hurt by others after going through all these hardships, it is actually just the bottom line of protecting myself from being hurt by others......

For his father, this Tang Dynasty came to an accident, but it is not something that cannot be abandoned, he thought that he would help the world and the people all his life, but if there is no confidant who understands, the ambition of this life will be realized, and it will be praised by the world, but it is also boring in the end.

After all, all the people in the world are not that confidant. ”

Li Zhi said lightly:

"Therefore, as far as my father is concerned, what he wants me to understand is not how to be a good emperor, but how to be a good person, a person who really knows how to love people, and even love all the people in the world......

Person. ”

He smiled faintly again: "That's why my father designed it like this...... Because he knows that only for Mei Niang can I let myself grow up and become the responsible and open-minded Li Zhi, not the willful and reckless slave who will always hide under the protection of my father and mother. ”
