Liu Mingzhi's mood was confused just because of what Wen Renzheng said.
In the past, many people said that they saw the shadow of Li Zheng in themselves, but I never cared about what they said.
However, the old man's words today made Liu Mingzhi feel enlightened and enlightened. Could it be that he was really deeply affected by his father, Emperor Li Zheng?
After being silent for a long time, Liu Mingzhi suddenly turned around and looked at Wen Renzheng beside him.
"Old man, if my nature is really affected by my father and the emperor, is this influence good or bad?"
Wen Renzheng pinched the jade pendant that he had been playing with for a long time and handed it to Young Master Liu on his fingertips. Young Master Liu looked at the jade pendant on Wen Renzheng's fingertips with confused eyes, not quite understanding what the old man's move meant.
Deep meaning.
"Old man, what do you mean?"
"This is a apprenticeship gift given to the old man by Yanhe decades ago. It is not a valuable thing, and it can even be said to be not worth mentioning among all kinds of precious jade pendants.
With the status of the old man, it was just a trivial matter to exchange for a priceless jade pendant.
However, whether it was when Monk Yan was still in the human world, or whether he had passed away to heaven for so many years, this jade pendant was always worn on his body and had never been replaced.
Although this jade pendant was given by Yan He, it does not represent Yan He after all. The reason why the old man keeps wearing it is just to keep it as a thought.
This person has passed away, and the living should cherish themselves. Do you understand what I want to say?"
Liu Mingzhi was silent for a long time with a contemplative look in his eyes. After about half a stick of incense, Young Master Liu's eyes suddenly lit up. He reached out and took the jade pendant from Wen Renzheng's hand, looked at it for a moment, and then handed it back.
After returning the jade pendant to the old man, Liu Mingzhi naturally put his hands on his back and stared at the glow of the sky with his head held high and a warm smile on his lips.
Young Master Liu's whole body was bathed in the warm rays of the morning sun, and his body seemed to exude a mysterious and mysterious aura.
"It doesn't matter who I, Liu Mingzhi, look like or not, I am who I am, as I was before, am now, will be in the future, and will always be."
Wen Renzheng looked at Young Master Liu with an outstanding temperament, his old eyes filled with admiration.
"Yes, maybe you look like a certain person, but you will not be him after all. So you are you, forever. This is a fact that no one can change.
Thinking about it on the other hand, when you look up to a good person that you admire, what's wrong with that?"
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, bowed to Wen Renzheng and gave a salute that he had not done for a long time.
"My mentor's words can be said to have made me clear the clouds and see the sky. Liu Mingzhi has learned a lesson. Thank you very much, my mentor, for clearing up my doubts."
"Okay, let's get up. Any attempt to clear up confusion is just that the authorities confuse the onlookers.
In fact, as long as you calm down and think about it carefully, you can naturally figure it out. However, sometimes if there is no one to guide you, you will always fall into a misunderstanding subconsciously.
I just said something that others didn't dare to say, it's no big deal. I never doubt your character, talent, virtue, but I hope you won't be too conceited.
You must know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. The old are getting older, and you are no longer young. You should understand the principle of the Yangtze River where the waves behind push the waves ahead.
Sometimes when looking at the overall situation, don’t always focus on yourself, and properly accept other people’s ideas. Maybe you will get unexpected gains from it!”
"Yes, what the teacher taught me is that the boy has learned the lesson."
Wen Renzheng waved his hand nonchalantly, turned around and walked towards the pavilion where he had rested.
"Okay, if I hadn't looked at my great-grandson's face, I wouldn't have bothered to waste so much time with you."
"Yes, yes, whatever the old man says is whatever it is."
"Let me ask you a rather presumptuous question, who do you prefer to succeed to the throne?
There is no deliberate personal affection involved, it is purely based on who you think is more suitable to inherit the throne."
Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a long time, then glanced around at his surroundings and quickly walked to Wen Renzheng's side and walked with him.
"This girl Yue'er."
"Yue'er? Girl? Which one...hiss...are you talking about the little girl with a ghostly character in the movie of Golden Queen Wanyan Wanyan?
"Yes, she is this stinky girl. You met her many times, old man. What is your impression of this stinky girl?"
Wen Renzheng stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, then suddenly nodded happily and chuckled.
"That little girl is extraordinary! Although I have only seen her a few times, I still have a very deep impression of this little girl.
Although this girl is just a little girl, she is bold and careful, brave and resourceful, and acts decisively and unconventionally. The most important thing is that this girl's temperament is very similar to yours."
"Oh? Which point?"
"Informal and thick-skinned."
"That's necessary. It doesn't matter who Yue'er belongs to... uh... uh..."
Liu Mingzhi originally thought that Wen Renzheng was praising his father and daughter, so he subconsciously felt "modest". Then he realized that the old man's words did not seem to be praising him.
It's very appropriate to be informal, but where does this thick-skin come from?
This young master is famous for being humble, polite, and unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. He just has the words "gentleman" carved on his forehead. How can he be associated with being thick-skinned?
Slander, proper slander.
Wen Renzheng glanced at Young Master Liu's bitter expression, chuckled and shook his head. He knew what Young Master Liu was thinking right now without having to guess.
If nothing else, it must be something about claiming to be a good person or a gentleman, which is incompatible with the other eight poles.
Regardless of what Young Master Liu was thinking, Wen Renzheng continued: "Although you have many children, this girl is the most like you.
Although the other children are also good-natured, they are slightly behind compared to this girl.
Because this girl is quite sinister, she looks smiling on the surface, but she can torment people to death when she plots against them. Maybe it has something to do with the environment in which she grew up.
And there's what I just said, being thick-skinned.
Sometimes being thick-skinned is not necessarily a bad thing. If you are too thin-skinned, you will easily suffer losses, especially in front of old foxes like the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Being thin-skinned is not good at all.
If you want to suppress old foxes like them, you can only treat them in their own way, and if you want to do this, you must be thick-skinned.
Thick-skinned is not a good word in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the court, it is completely normal. It is not even the thickest, only thicker.
Not only is this girl quite thick-skinned, but as far as I know, she had experience in supervising the country's governance when she was about ten years old.
It is not a rare thing to be able to supervise the country on behalf of the emperor when he is around ten years old. This has happened since ancient times. However, when he is around ten years old, he can manage the country's politics in an orderly manner by his own ability. That is no small matter.
This woman's temperament and abilities are beyond ordinary people or her peers. She is not just a bit of a monster, she is also a monster.
If this girl inherits the throne, within two years of training, she will definitely be able to take care of all the civil and military ministers in the court.
She can keep a group of old foxes in submission, let alone the underachievers in the future.
If this girl can inherit the throne, she is indeed an excellent candidate, but...but...but this girl is from a daughter's family after all.
The daughter's family will eventually get married. Once she gets married in the future, who will be named after Dalong's family in the future? Should she continue to be surnamed Liu, or should she continue to be surnamed by a certain surname?
Even if this girl doesn't need to marry and will devote her whole life to her family, country, and country, who will be the successor to her to shoulder the heavy burden?
If one thing is not handled well, it may cause another bloody storm.
Moreover, this bloody storm must have started among the descendants of your Liu family, because you want that position.
It seems that this girl’s succession to the throne is not a foolproof strategy, how difficult it is!”
Liu Mingzhi sighed solemnly, his eyes flashing with worry.
"Old man, this is what worries me. I am not afraid that this girl Yue'er will get married in the future, let alone that she will pass the throne to his children in the future.
What the boy is really afraid of is precisely what you just said, old man, that is, after Yue'er succeeds to the throne, will the Liu family and the future Yue'er's family fight over the throne?
If in the future the descendants of this kid get into a fight with Yue'er's descendants because of the throne, and it eventually comes to the point of a fight with each other, then I won't rest in peace even if I die.
Therefore, the boy knew in his heart that Yue'er was more suitable to inherit the throne at the moment, but he never made the final decision.
No matter who hurts whom, won’t it be my Liu Mingzhi’s blood that will be shed by then?”
"Well, if I were you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be much better than you. This choice is indeed too difficult."
"So, the kid is still thinking about it, always trying to find a way to get the best of both worlds."
"Do you have a rough plan?"
"Chengzhi, Chenggan and his brothers are both good, but neither of them cares much about being crown prince."
