Chapter 604: This life is just a dream
The scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is still beautiful.
The three people on the bow were speechless at this moment.
Zhongli Ruoshui looked at Li Chenan intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Chenan looked at the water in the river.
He can't tell Xiang Qingyun that he is the regent. He is still alive and well, right?
He could only shut up.
Xiang Qingyun seemed to be immersed in regret——
This young man has excellent knowledge and lofty ideals.
He originally went to Kyoto with hope, but before he even left, he heard the news that the regent had been bombed to death in Xishan.
This news was a huge blow to him.
With his knowledge, he has great hopes of being named on the Jinke Autumn Golden List.
But when it comes to being an official, some people do it for profit, some do it for fame, and of course there are also people who do it for the people.
But who you serve as an official is extremely important.
For example, if Ji Tai were in power, it would be almost impossible to serve as an official for the people.
But if he can serve as an official under the regent Li Chenan, in Xiang Qingyun's view, this is the best opportunity to realize his ideal.
Although he had never met the Prince Regent, he had heard many things about him.
He knew that he was a poet from Ning State, and he was not only good at poetry. He felt that the poem "The Charcoal Seller" written by the Regent was far more profound than his poetry.
It was also the article "The Charcoal Seller" that gave Xiang Qingyun a different understanding of Li Chenan.
He knew that this was a regent who had the people in his heart!
Following such a king will surely lead to great achievements.
But fate played a trick on man, and he died!
It's not that you can't fulfill your ideals and ambitions by following Wen Boiyu, but the eldest son of the emperor who is about to ascend the throne as emperor... he is the emperor of Ningguo!
Although he and the regent are as close as brothers, and he may not deny the five-year plan set by the regent, but in Xiang Qingyun's view, he may not have the same ambition and foresight as the regent.
Especially the courage to break old traditions and create new situations!
Li Chenan looked at the green mountains on both sides of the bank with a faint smile on his lips.
He turned to look at Qingyun and said:
"Listen to what I said that I shouldn't have said."
"I have never met the regent, but I have heard some things about him."
"It's just that in my opinion, his poems are really great."
"As for those new policies... in fact, he only proposed some prototypes of the new policies. After all, his time in Kyoto after becoming the regent was very short."
Xiang Qingyun also looked at Li Chenan, his eyes not very happy. He was about to retort, but Li Chenan waved his hand, "Just listen to what I have to say."
"I admit that his new policy is indeed bold, and it is indeed beneficial to the people of Ningguo."
"But the real executors of the New Deal are the six ministries of the three provinces headed by Wen Boiyu, as well as the officials at all levels below."
"Now, although the regent has left, the New Deal has been introduced to Shuzhou and implemented in Shuzhou. It can be seen that the New Deal did not die because of the departure of the regent."
"As for the eldest son of the emperor, I have also heard some things about him. He is actually smarter than most people in the world!"
"It's just that he didn't have a good reputation before this."
"Ning Guo has an enlightened emperor, a group of officials like Wen Boiyu who work hard to govern, and young people with lofty ideals like you, plus the hard-working and brave people of Ning Guo..."
"Actually, even without the regent, Ningguo will still become a better place!"
"I don't think there is any need to regret his death. Instead, I need you to work hard in the direction he led to realize your ideals!"
"After all, he is also a human being. Even if there is no incident in Xishan, he will die one day."
"Think about it, is it possible that without him by then, Ning Guo will have stopped moving forward?"
"Without him, the people's lives would be miserable?"
"That's not it!"
"Look..."
Li Chenan pointed to the rising sun, "Without him, the sun will still rise."
"Ningguo will still become more beautiful with you!"
Xiang Qingyun looked at the gushing sun.
Facing the river breeze and the brilliant rays of the sun.
He originally wanted to accuse Li Chenan, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that what Uncle Li said was very reasonable.
No one can survive forever.
The remaining road needs to be walked by generations of people.
Maybe you sweat, maybe you bleed.
As long as the goal remains unchanged, there will eventually be a day when we reach the other side.
Xiang Qingyun turned around, looked at Li Chen'an, and bowed: "Thank you, Uncle Li, for enlightening me. It's like an enlightenment for me. I know what to do next."
Li Chenan raised his hands and said with a smile: "Meeting is fate. I think you will be named on the gold list, and you will also become the humerus minister of Ningguo... I just hope that if one day you stand in a high position in the temple, don't forget it.
Today’s ideal!”
Xiang Qingyun's face turned red, "I will try my best to take the scientific examination. If the day comes that I will be an official in the court, I will never forget my original intention and serve the people wholeheartedly!"
"good!"
Li Chenan didn't talk about this topic again, and he looked at both sides of the Yangtze River under the morning sun.
The building boat has entered the Qutang Gorge. The mountains on both sides of the river are getting steeper and the river is becoming more and more rapid.
There is a vaguely visible city on the mountain on the north bank.
"Is that Baidi City?"
Li Chenan stretched out his hand and nodded to Qingyun.
"Have you been to Baidi City?"
Xiang Qingyun nodded again: "I have been there once."
"Is there a Baidi Temple in the city?"
Xiang Qingyun was dumbfounded for a moment: "I've never heard of the Baidi Temple, but there is a Earth Temple."
"Is there a Yi Zheng Temple or a Tuogu Hall up there?"
Xiang Qingyun was startled again and shook his head: "No such thing."
"Oh... I remembered it wrong."
Li Chenan looked at the vague city in a daze.
Sure enough, it's still different.
Zhongli Ruoshui also looked at Li Chenan at this moment, and felt that Li Chenan was a little mysterious at this moment——
He has been living in Guangling City!
This is his first time to Shuzhou, and it is also his first time to go down by boat.
How did he know that place was called Baidi City?
Why did he ask such a strange question?
He said he remembered it wrong. Where did he get the memory of Baidi City?
At this time, the building boat sailed past Baidi City.
Li Chenan casually recited a poem——
"Cha Ci Bai Di among the colorful clouds,
A thousand miles to Jiangling can be returned in one day.
The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying,
The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains."
Xiang Qingyun was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Chenan in shock.
Li Chenan withdrew his gaze and looked at the shocked Zhongli Ruoshui.
There was tenderness in his eyes.
He said two words that made Zhongli Ruoshui incomprehensible:
"Why bother asking about floating life? This floating life is just a dream."
"With you by my side, I feel like this is no longer a dream."
"Let's go back to the room."
The two were about to leave when a loud roar suddenly came from the cabin:
"Everyone, listen, let's rob!"
Chapter completed!
