The Tang Dynasty has become more and more prosperous, but the relationship between Li Shimin and Qin Tian has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

And Qin Tian was also thinking about changing places to live.

He has never lived in the most prosperous place in the world for more than ten years without leaving.

Mortals are always afraid of things that they cannot understand.

For ordinary people, a family that never grows old is really terrifying.

They will start to wonder, where did you get your lifespan? Did you absorb the lives of others to survive?

No? So why are you so nice to other people?

How can all this be explained?

Similarly, Qin Tian's perception of Li Shimin is no longer as good as it was more than ten years ago.

More than ten years ago, Li Shimin was really dedicated to the people, but in his later years, he seemed to feel that he had done enough, and began to sing praises for himself.

Just as Qin Tian was about to leave, Li Shimin seemed to have a premonition of something, and he actually came to visit again.

"Brother Qin...... I haven't seen you for a long time since I said goodbye last time, right? ”

More than ten years have passed, compared with the first time Qin Tian saw Li Shimin, his sideburns have a lot more gray hair, and he is no longer full of energy in his prime.

"I haven't seen you for two years, a month and seven days." Qin Tian smiled faintly: "It is indeed a long time. ”

"Has it been so long?"

Li Shimin seemed to sigh with emotion.

Looking at the furnishings in the house for more than ten years, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Qin and Brother Qin's two apprentices, they are all the same as more than ten years ago, nothing has changed."

He seemed to mean something.

"How can there be no change." Qin Tian smiled: "It's changed a lot, it's just that ordinary people can't notice it." ”

"Really?" Li Shimin nodded noncommittally and did not refute.

"Actually, there is another purpose for this visit......

Li Shimin stared at Qin Tian deadly.

"What you've already said, you don't have to say it again." Qin Tian smiled: "My answer is still the same as fourteen years ago, there will be no change." ”

Li Shimin exhaled a breath of turbid air slightly: "Brother Qin is really ...... Continue. ”

"Do you know who I am?"

"Yes." Qin Tian smiled: "How don't you know?" ”

"Fifteen years ago, on the fourth day of the sixth month, I saw it all."

Fifteen years ago...... The fourth day of June......

Qin Tian's words immediately brought Li Shimin back to that morning, the morning when he was ruthless and seized power!

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly froze: "Do you see it in your eyes? How do you see it?"

Qin Tian didn't explain: "I can see a lot more than you know, you should know something, shouldn't you?" ”

"Since you know who I am......"

Qin Tian smiled: "Since you don't want to take the initiative to say it, then I naturally won't break it, everything is just like now, isn't it?" ”

Qin Tian sighed: "It's a pity, since you have already said it, it is impossible for us to return to the previous appearance." ”

"It's time for me to leave, too."

"Let's go? Where are you going? Li Shimin frowned.

"Didn't you notice that there are already bad rumors about me in Chang'an City now?" Qin Tian said lightly.

"But don't worry, people are good at forgetting, for twenty or thirty years, for as little as three or five years, and they will soon forget that there was a doctor here who never paid for his treatment."

Li Shimin looked at Qin Tian and was silent for a long time.

"Dare to ask Mr. Qin, who is it?"

Li Shimin asked slowly.

Qin Tian glanced at Li Shimin: "If you asked me this question five years ago, I would definitely answer you without hesitation, but not now." ”

"Why? Why don't you answer now when I ask you? Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied.

He thought that Qin Tian was playing tricks.

"Do you really want to hear it?" Qin Tian sighed slightly: "The truth may not make you very satisfied. ”

"You may say that I have never been angry with my courtiers!" Li Shimin is very generous.

It's just that he seems to have forgotten that Qin Tian is not his courtier, and Qin Tian is not admonishing.

"You're nearing the end of your life, and you're aware of it." Qin Tian said bluntly: "So you, like all the emperors of all dynasties, have begun to fantasize about some unrealistic things. ”

"Isn't that what you're looking for me today?"

Li Shimin's face turned red visibly.

I have to say that Qin Tian successfully poked his sore spot, how can he play with blood anger in one second?

But his cultivation saved him after all.

In just a moment, Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Why have you been reluctant to do things for me for more than a decade? Will I do you badly? ”

Qin Tian looked at Li Shimin, his eyes gradually turning cold.

"If you were to be with me as a friend, I would gladly accept it."

"But if you want more ...... from me"

"So...... What can you bring me? Qin Tian said pointedly.

"Or do you think that the fame and fortune of mortals can have even the slightest attraction for me?"

Qin Tian sneered: "Even if the throne under your ass is just something at my fingertips for me, what else do you have to exchange with me?" ”

Qin Tian said lightly: "Ten years ago, you still had a true heart, but now, you don't even have a true heart......

"Let's stop here, more than ten years of friendship, if you continue to talk about it, I'm afraid I won't even have to be friends."

When Li Shimin came back to his senses, he was shocked to find that he didn't know when he came to the street.

He didn't even know how he got out of that door.

He wanted to go back and say something more, but he couldn't find the hut where Qin Tian lived anyway.

Under the rule of lost soul, Li Shimin returned to the palace.

The courtiers didn't know what was going on, and those who knew what was going on didn't dare to ask more.

What happened today was clearly beyond the comprehension of those soldiers, and they did not even dare to mention a word, for fear of angering the unknown existence.

Late at night, in the palace, Li Shimin wandered aimlessly in the palace.

Behind him was originally followed by a group of palace maids who served in Wuyang, but he looked upset, leaving only three or five people, and letting them go back.

The emperor who once dismissed three thousand palace maids, and now there are hundreds of concubines in the harem.

As for the palace maids, they are far more than three thousand.

Li Shimin's changes over the years can be seen.

And this is also the reason why Qin Tian gradually alienated Li Shimin.

Ten years ago, Li Shimin was still a young man full of vitality, bound to change the world and this country.

But after so many years, Li Shimin finally became the emperor who was unknown to everyone.

Didn't he do a good enough job?

Even if Qin Tian is asked to evaluate, he will still give a very high evaluation, an emperor through the ages, and his merits can be compared to that of Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

But when Li Shimin lived up to Qin Tian's expectations.

Qin Tian taught Li Shimin so much knowledge, hoping that he would be able to make some changes and break through the shackles of the world.

The result was naturally disappointing Qin Tian.

Li Shimin not only did not break through the shackles of the world, but instead used the knowledge taught to him by Qin Tian to stabilize his rule.

Is this progress?

For the current era, stable rule naturally means the progress of the times, and it is a great progress.

However, for the people at the bottom, the world has not changed much.

The progress that Qin Tian wanted to see was not this kind of progress that hardly changed anything.

So he was disappointed in Li Shimin.

……

In a trance, Li Shimin didn't know why, but he actually walked inside.

This is his little private vault, where he keeps his treasures.

At first, it was only used to store the income of the Fuman Building, but slowly, it was gradually enriched.

I don't know why, Li Shimin kept walking to the depths of the warehouse, and by the unquenchable fire, he actually saw a statue stored in the depths of the warehouse.

The statue is not large, less than half a person tall, and although it is made of jade, it does not weigh much.

After so many years of backlog in the warehouse, the jade statue still looks as glorious as if it had just been dug up.

That's right, this statue is the statue that Li Shimin prepared in advance as a backup plan.

But then it went well, and the statue naturally didn't work.

Later, Li Shimin had the statue stored in the storeroom, and then forgot about it.

Looking at the statue, Li Shimin once again remembered that morning of swords and swords.

He was confident enough that he had never stopped any of the guards from keeping a record of the living bets all these years.

Even he himself had never read the living note, because he was confident enough that his exploits would be praised by future generations.

But tonight, he didn't bring Lang Zhong with him, but came to the warehouse alone.

Li Shimin's palm lightly landed on the statue, and it was warm.

Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to come over.

The palace maid next to her held a palace lamp in her hand, illuminating the face of the statue.

Li Shimin's eyes gradually widened, and his breathing became rapid.

He took two steps back, scrutinizing the statue's face.

In a trance, he felt that he saw a familiar figure!

Li Shimin shook his head in disbelief.

How is this possible?

How can a statue that is at least a few hundred years old look exactly like a person today?

Li Shimin, who was short of breath, subconsciously went to support the statue, never thinking that he would knock the statue down.

It happened suddenly, and no one reacted.

Bang!

The statue fell to the ground with a bang, but nothing happened.

If you change to other statues, if not you will be smashed, at least there will be cracks, but this statue is as if nothing happened.

Li Shimin hurriedly went to help, but suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a font engraved under the statue.

Li Shimin squinted his eyes and carefully felt the base of the statue with his fingers, and finally found that it was indeed a text.

However, due to the fact that the burning is too shallow, and the texture of the jade, these fonts are extremely difficult to find.

If it weren't for the flickering firelight tonight that made him discover a clue, I am afraid that Li Shimin would not have known that there was a font burning on the base of this statue in his life.

But since it was really unrecognizable, Li Shimin asked people to bring ink and paper to rub the font on the base.

In Li Shimin's nervous gaze, the font on the base was rubbed.

"I am grateful to my friend Qin Tian...... Yaode ten years of Zhuge Liang. ”

Li Shimin read out the rubbed article word by word.

Engraved on the paper is an article, not much content, brief but not simple, telling the story between Zhuge Liang and Qin Tian.

In just a few hundred words of article, Zhuge Liang's address to Qin Tian has also changed from a friend at the beginning to the last immortal.

Li Shimin looked at the font of the paper carefully, and was sure that the names on it were indeed Qin Tian and Zhuge Liang.

He also knows what year Yaode is in ten years.

Because that year was the year when Zhuge Liang completed everything and gave up everything and returned to Chibi!

History will always remember this year, because this year Zhuge Liang fulfilled his promise to the first emperor and gave Shu Han a perfect ending!

This year is the year when Zhuge Liang retired after his success!

If it was ten years ago, Li Shimin would definitely not believe the nonsense on it, and even began to wonder if Qin Tian had come to contact him on purpose.

A man who has lived for hundreds of years? Who would believe it?

Anyway, Li Shimin will never believe it!

But now Li Shimin can't help but believe it.

Otherwise, how could the apprentice beside Qin Tian who had not changed in the slightest in the past fifteen years?

How to explain the meow that is still alive and well after fifteen years?

How can a normal meow live so long? What can this not be a youkai?

In the past fifteen years, Qin Tian has not changed, his apprentice has not changed, and even the cat, there has been no change!

Isn't that the best proof of this?

Combined with what Qin Tian said today and what happened in Qin Tian's house, Li Shimin finally understood what he had missed!

It turned out that he had already come into contact with the immortals, and even the immortals had taught him knowledge!

Recalling what Qin Tian said at the beginning, Li Shimin gradually understood something.

A wry smile appeared on his lips.

It turned out that the things that Qin Tian taught him at the beginning were not to give him advice!

Li Shimin recalled many of Qin Tian's teachings over the years, and he regarded them as a means of how to stabilize his rights.

But he never thought that Qin Tian taught him these things in order for him to improve the lives of the people and solve those problems.

Li Shimin sat on the ground and remained silent for a long time.

……

It's just that Li Shimin forever missed the opportunity to see Qin Tian again.

But it also gave him a little bit of a change.

In his later years, Li Shimin was not obsessed with enjoyment or doing other things.

Li Shimin has his own plans, he is an emperor, and what the emperor wants to do is naturally to stabilize the power in his hands.

In his later years, Li Shimin took this step to the extreme, and the cadres were so decisive that even the prime minister could not restrict him.

But on the issue of the heir, Li Shimin pondered for a long time.

In the end, under the influence of various factors, Li Shimin still chose the more moderate Li Zhi.

The Tang Dynasty needs a gentle-tempered emperor, and after years of conquest, he needs to recuperate and recuperate, and he can no longer forge ahead.
