Chapter 418: Heartfelt words
Zhongli Ruohua's worries are not unreasonable.
For example, Xiao Baozi, a vixen, has no intention of quitting because of Li Chenan's deep love for Zhongli Ruoshui.
In Xiao Baozi's mind, she didn't seem to know what retreat meant.
She kept this matter extremely simple and only followed one principle -
But please be happy with each other.
If you don’t give up, I won’t leave!
From now on, Li Chenan seems to show no signs of giving up.
He clearly knew that he was Xi Wei's daughter, and he also knew that there were many, many people who wanted to kill Xi Wei, whether in the world or in the temple.
But no one knows who Xi Wei is.
Then their swords will of course be pointed at themselves.
After beating the younger one, it’s time for the older one to come out!
So being by his side would be a trouble after all, but he really didn't care at all...
This man is more reliable than that dad!
Such a man is not easy to find, so he is worth cherishing.
Besides, in Xiao Baozi's heart, her understanding of inseparability is also different——
It’s not about getting along day and night.
She thinks they are disgusted with each other.
She agrees that a little separation is better than a new marriage.
So she has no intention of staying with Li Chenan for the rest of her life.
On the contrary, she hoped that Li Chenan could really practice the Eighteen Methods of Fu Er Zhou Tian Jue, so that Zhongli Ruoshui could be cured, and lovers could finally get married.
Zhongli Ruoshui will be by his side.
As for myself... I have to take my child back to Wanxi Zhai after all.
It's not that he is indifferent to this relationship, but that he leaves some space and time for each other. He occasionally has time to come to Wanxi Zhai to stay for a while. When it rains again, that is the most beautiful.
Zhonglisu poured a cup of tea for Li Chenan and Xiao Baozi, and suddenly asked:
"If, I mean if Ruoshui's disease cannot be cured in the end...what are your plans?"
Li Chenan has already thought about this.
He knew that the hope of this matter was slim, but he just didn't want to give up until the end.
"I think that if the eldest son of the emperor has certain abilities and is tolerant...and Wen Zhuyu, Nian Chengfeng and others can share the affairs of the state, then Ningguo will be better off after surviving the most difficult days of these two or three years.
"
"As for me, to be honest with my uncle, I am actually a happy-go-lucky person."
"I prefer to do business and live in the mountains and forests. I don't like the palace surrounded by high walls."
Zhonglisu raised his eyes and asked again: "But what if the eldest son of the emperor doesn't do what you want?"
"...Then I may be able to manage this country reluctantly for a while."
Zhong Lizu felt relieved and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "A good man should have his ambitions in all directions!"
"I already know what you have done in court these days. You have done many things extremely well during my visit, but there is only one thing... I am afraid it is too ideal!"
Li Chenan was startled: "Which thing?"
"That so-called constitution that cages the imperial power you are tinkering with!"
"I have been thinking about this matter carefully for a few days. Your intention is good, but you have ignored one issue."
"what is the problem?"
"The person sitting on that throne will never accept it!"
Zhonglisu leaned over slightly and said seriously:
"Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers!"
"The ancient law established the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules, using benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, loyalty, filial piety, brotherhood, tolerance and kindness to establish the basic order of the world!"
"This is the word of a sage!"
"It is the most important code of conduct for people in the world!"
"For the emperor, he needs the majesty of his words!"
"For ministers, they need someone to whom they can be loyal to the whole life!"
"For the people...the emperor is also the supreme being in their hearts!"
"It's like the worship of totems among the tribes in Shuzhou."
"Think about it, if the emperor's words are to be restrained, they have to be reviewed and approved by the three provinces before they can be implemented... Is such an emperor aggrieved?"
"Does he still have prestige in the hearts of the ministers?"
"What will the people do to him?"
After a pause, Zhonglisu sat up straight, picked up the tea cup, and said seriously:
"It will be a mess!"
"The emperor will resist and break the shackles you have set!"
"The ministers will not unite to maintain the shackles. They are more happy with the rules that have existed for thousands of years."
"The people may not necessarily think that you are doing that for their own good!"
"They even think in their hearts that you are doing that to ensure your power, and that you intend to turn the emperor into a puppet. What you really want to do is... to hold the emperor hostage to control the princes!"
"Uncle feels that this matter will have endless consequences!"
"I'm afraid that there are people who are interested in using this matter to make a fuss, such as starting a massive civil war under the banner of safeguarding the orthodoxy of Ning State, so as to achieve their goal of controlling the power of Ning State!"
"Jitai has many followers!"
"Your sword is now hanging over their heads. They will not surrender! I'm afraid they will use this to make a last ditch effort!"
Li Chenan listened carefully, and he did not show any displeasure at all because of Zhong Lizu's to-the-point analysis.
There was even a slight smile on his face.
After Zhonglisu finished speaking, he actually nodded, which was acknowledging that Zhonglisu's analysis was correct.
Zhong Lizu was surprised. He was originally worried that the establishment of a constitution would be the first big thing in Li Chenan's governance. As the regent of Ning State, he should not allow anyone to deny his idea.
He even thought that wise people like Wen Zhuiyu and Nian Chengfeng should advise Li Chenan after knowing this proposition. They must know the pros and cons.
And the disadvantages obviously outweigh the advantages!
Especially when the current situation is not stable.
But they still carried out the execution... When Zhongli came, it was Li Chenan who suppressed it with strong methods.
Of course this is not the case.
Wen Boyu and Nian Chengfeng did have fierce opposition at that time.
As for why they accepted this matter again and did it willingly, Li Chenan did not explain to Zhong Lizu.
"My uncle's words are very precise. It is true that I have oversimplified this matter."
"It's not easy to actually get that thing out. After all, the thoughts inside are, as my uncle said, divorced from the current reality."
"So the DPRK and China are not prioritizing this matter now. As for when this thing will be launched...maybe in three to five years, maybe never."
Zhongli Su was startled. The Constitution advocated by Li Chenan was promoted throughout the country, and even the people in Guangling City would talk about it when chatting. But now he said that that thing was not given priority...
Could it be that he just used smoke and bombs to hide people's ears?
Pass a sword to the enemy!
Let the enemy take this sword and walk into the light from the dark to chop him?
Catch them all again?!
Zhongli made a profound impression on Li Chenan, this guy is brave enough.
"Why take such a dangerous risk?"
Li Chenan took a sip of tea and said, "With internal and external troubles, I need to cut through the mess quickly!"
Chapter completed!
