CHAPTER XLIII
Next, Ning Ling used a large paragraph to tell how wise and martial Zhong Liyi was in his previous life, and how profound his influence was in later generations, he can be called a generation of Tianjiao, the only empress in the entire ancient history to unify the dynasty, and the first emperor to unify the entire dynasty, known as Emperor Zichen in history.
What has been familiar with the Three Books and Five Classics since childhood, wise and decisive, Wen Tao Wuluo, all of them are understandable, it is simply a bug in the torrent of history, her life is also very legendary, and has been made into various TV series and movies countless times in later generations, when she was young, she knew how to hide her edge, dispel the vigilance of the regent, that is, Zhong Luolei, and defeated it in one fell swoop while he was unprepared, and completely grasped the power of Fenglin Kingdom, and then recovered various countries in the next few years, and finally completed the grand blueprint of the great cause of unification.
"Listening to you, it seems that I didn't have any shortcomings in my past life." Zhongli also pursed his lips secretly, with a look of disdain.
"Yes, there is, this is also where she is questioned by future generations, Emperor Zichen because of his young experience, many practices are too ruthless, he is a wise monarch but not a benevolent monarch, which caused many literati and scholars at that time to criticize her, resulting in the evaluation of her by later generations is also half of the merit, but in essence, she is more meritorious than demeritorious." Ning Ling explained to Zhong Li seriously.
"I don't know why, listening to you tell the story of my past life, I think it's quite interesting, it seems that you still have a very high opinion of my past life." Zhongli also glanced at Ning Ling and smiled at him.
"Of course, your previous life is indeed worthy of respect, although later generations think that she is not a benevolent monarch, but these are what those literati said, most of them represent the class of scholars, but she hurt the interests of these people, but for the people, she must be called an excellent monarch, but unfortunately because the affairs are too heavy and too hard, people go, and they have only been in power for ten years." After Ning Ling finished speaking, he glanced at Zhong Liyi, and suddenly the black line, the difference was too big, this was actually a person, and he couldn't help sighing.
"Hey, what do you mean, do you look down on me?" Zhong Li also looked at Ning Ling's sad face, stepped forward and pulled him by the hair and said closer, with a threatening tone.
"No, no, how is it possible, you are also very good now, such as ......" Ning Ling thought for a long time before he came up with a sentence: "You are still as smart."
Zhongli also let go of his hair, snorted coldly, and said, "Okay, let you go for the time being."
The two were silent for a while, and Zhong Li suddenly said: "Actually, I think my previous life must have been very bad, and she must be quite tired to fight all the scholars alone."
"And I'm different, although it's not very useful, and I can't make the kind of contribution in my previous life, but I'm very happy to follow you every day." Zhong Liyi's eyes at this moment were like the starlight in the sky, and the things contained in them made people dare not look at them directly, for fear of falling into them.
Ning Ling looked at Zhongli and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he bit his lip and didn't want to let himself speak. Actually, I'm here to get you back to that position.
The two tacitly pry open the topic and start arguing about the morning again.
"Didn't I say you're going to take me to play? As a result, the day was actually to run errands. Zhongli also pretended to be angry and glared at Ning Ling.
Ning Ling couldn't help but sneer when he saw Zhong Liyi's pretentious appearance, and said, "Isn't this that you haven't planned to sleep yet?" I'll take you to play now, you close your eyes first. “
Zhongli also glanced at Ning Ling with some suspicion, but still obediently closed his eyes.
Ning Ling pulled Zhongli Yi and walked a few distances and said, "Now it's okay, open your eyes."
"Hey, you're talking about the rooftop?" Zhongli also looked at Ning Ling with some dissatisfaction.
"What's wrong with the roof, you look up to the sky, and then look down." Ning Ling smiled at Zhong Liyi.
Zhongli also glanced at him, looked at the sky, the silver-white moonlight sprinkled on his body, as if a thin veil shrouded the earth, the moon hung high in the sky, and there were stars everywhere around, the beauty was not like the world, Zhongli was also a little stunned, and said, "It's so beautiful."
Ning Ling looked at her with a smile and said, "I didn't bring you to the wrong place, the roof at night is the most suitable place to play, you can take a look below."
Zhongli also hurriedly looked down again, this roof is extraordinarily high, the surrounding scenery and houses are unobstructed, the picture of the entire town is imprinted in his eyes, the scene of the day looks different at night, and there is a little more unique charm.
Ning Ling looked at Zhong Liyi's stunned appearance, laughed uncontrollably, sat on the roof with a buttocks, and said: "When I was a child, I liked to come to the roof at night the most, I always felt that staying on the roof was different from being on the ground, and every time my master couldn't find me, he would know that I was definitely on the roof again."
Zhongli Yi also sat next to Ning Ling, and said in an envious tone: "It's good, you will still have your master remember you and come to find you somewhere, your master is really good to you."
Ning Ling recalled the memory of his youth, with a few warm smiles on the corners of his mouth, and said: "Yes, the master treated me very well, I was not very obedient since I was a child, when I was just picked up by the master, I was very vigilant, and I didn't pay much attention to him, and the master was very stupid, I don't know how to coax the child, but he will remember me no matter what he has, and over time, I will slowly accept him."
"So you're an orphan?" Zhong Li also looked at Ning Ling and asked softly.
Ning Ling was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Yes, just because I was very inferior when I was a child, but now that I think about it, it's not a big deal, and I'm quite lucky, what about you, how were you when you were a child?"
Zhong Li also replied: "I'm not as lucky as you, I only remember that I have a concubine, who is a foreigner, born with a low status, so the people in the palace don't look down on me very much, the concubine seems to have died when I was very young, but fortunately she hid some gold and silver treasures in the palace for me, and I relied on these things she left me to survive in the palace."
Ning Ling listened to Zhong Liyi talk about his tragic experience when he was a child in a flat tone, and there was a slight sting in his heart, and he involuntarily touched the top of Zhong Liyi's head, and said distressedly: "It's okay, it's all over."
"Oh, I'm not that fragile, if I hadn't had these experiences, I wouldn't have such a good brain, would I?" Zhongli also winked at Feng Jin, looking playful.
"Hey, I suddenly thought of a sentence, how do you say that sentence, you taught me a few days ago," Zhong Li also frowned and thought, Ning Ling overflowed with a smile on the side, looking at her intently, Zhong Li also held his head and thought for a long time, and finally blurted out: "By the way, the lost east corner of the harvest of mulberry elm, this is the sentence, it is applicable in many cases, for example, if I hadn't been killed by Zhong Luolei in my previous life, I wouldn't have come to your destiny turntable, and I wouldn't have met you."
Ning Ling smiled and said, "You're quite right."
"That's nature, don't look at who I am, the little overlord of the imperial city, what I said is naturally right." Zhongli was as proud as a peacock, and his whole body seemed to float.
Ning Ling reluctantly agreed: "Yes, yes, you are the best."
The two continued to chatter, joking back and forth, Zhongli didn't say the real words in his heart, because he knew that it was impossible, so he didn't mention it, life must be happy in the world, one day is a day, and it would be good to be happy at the moment, but unfortunately when he was really separated, he felt regretful and didn't say that sentence to Ning Ling.
