In the end, I don’t know what agreement Li Chengqian reached with the Sun, Liang, and Yu families.
Anyway, these three families, without exception, all left with smiles on their faces.
Wait until the three of them leave.
Li Chengqian dispersed the crowd and sat alone in the hall in a daze.
To be honest, he now couldn't figure out what the purpose of doing all this was.
Do you want to be the emperor, or do you want to change the current situation of this era...
He seemed to gradually understand why Li Tai and Li Yuanchang were so anxious...??.
After doing such a career, and being so favored by the emperor of the dynasty, I'm afraid anyone would be jealous.
He picked up the wine glass and took a slow sip.
"Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian, what do you want to do?"
"You just want to help me change this era?"
"Still want to inherit your father's position?"
Li Chengqian shook his head, sighed, and murmured to himself: "Maybe you won't be able to accomplish anything in the end..."
Although he was laughing and joking, he didn't say anything.
But only he knows how much pressure he feels in his heart.
There are curses in the city and malicious slander in the world.
He said he didn't care, but who knew how miserable he was in his heart...
He obviously wanted to do good things for this era, but in the end all he got was abuse.
He even began to understand Emperor Sui Yang somewhat now.
Whether this person is great or not will be clear to future generations.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was the first to challenge the authority of the aristocratic family head-on, and he was also the first to change the social status quo.
Militarily, it advocates external expansion and internal purge.
Politically, it advocates selecting talents from poor families and alienating aristocratic families.
Socially, people advocated building the Grand Canal to connect the waterways between the north and the south and completely integrate the cultures of the north and the south.
He only reigned for more than ten years, but he accomplished almost everything the three emperors had to do.
In other words, if there is no Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's drastic measures were not as brilliant as the Tang Dynasty in the future.
But at that time, who knew how much pressure he was facing?
At this moment, Lu Wanjie, accompanied by Zitao, slowly walked behind Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian looked straight at the table, because he was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice Lu Wanjie's arrival.
Seeing this, Lu Wanjie pursed her lips.
Then, she sat directly next to Li Chengqian.
At this moment, Li Chengqian finally came to his senses.
He showed Lu Wanjie a signature smile and said, "Why don't you rest up so late?"
"Can't sleep..."
Lu Wanjie chuckled lightly, took the cup handed over by Zitao, and poured a glass of wine on her own.
She looked very nice when drinking, sipping in small sips.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch her cheek gently.
Then, he looked down at Lu Wanjie's shoulder and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore..."
Lu Wanjie shook her head.
Li Chengqian smiled, took a long breath, stood up and said, "Let's go for a walk."
"good."
Lu Wanjie also slowly stood up and walked out with Li Chengqian, walked into the corridor, and walked towards the back garden.
She could tell that Li Chengqian was in a bad mood.
But Li Chengqian didn't want to say the reason, and she didn't know how to comfort him.
I'm thinking about what to say, but I don't know how to start.
Her tangled look seemed a bit coy.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled.
He took Lu Wanjie's hand and said, "You don't need to think about comforting me. I can figure out some things myself."
"Is it?"
Lu Wanjie raised her head and glanced at Li Chengqian, then lowered her head and said, "But since you came to Jiangnan, I have never seen you smile from the bottom of your heart."
Or……
She hadn't seen Li Chengqian's innocent smile for a long time.
When I first met him, he was still a child, smiling innocently and honestly.
That kind of smile, coupled with his beautiful face, is really a beautiful scenery.
Even now, he always has a smile on his face.
But there is always a little helplessness and sadness hidden in that smile.
Li Chengqian pursed his lips and pulled her to sit in the small pavilion.
"I also want to laugh from the bottom of my heart."
"But how can I laugh?"
"Everyone says that the Tang Dynasty was a prosperous age, but under this prosperous age, who knows how many turbulent waves and undercurrents there were?"
"Not to mention the intrigues and battles in the palace, there are too many things that I don't understand about the rights and wrongs in this world."
"But it doesn't matter, after all, this is life."
Li Chengqian suddenly remembered a sentence he heard in his previous life.
He sighed: "Life is long and short, high and low."
"Although the king of Chu is strong, he will inevitably kill himself in Wujiang River. Although the king of Han is weak, he has thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."
"Full of knowledge, white hair but no grades, few talents and little knowledge, a young man who has passed the exams."
"Some are poor first and then rich, and some are rich first and then poor."
"The dragon dives among the fish and turtles before it is encountered, and the gentleman loses his time and surrenders to the villain."
"When the sky is out of season, the sun and moon lose light; when the earth is out of season, no vegetation grows; when the water is out of season, the wind and waves are uneven; when people are out of season, their fortunes are blocked."
"In the final analysis, it's just one sentence: in life, wealth cannot be lascivious, poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be subdued."
"This is the cycle of heavenly principles, which comes over and over again..."
Li Chengqian raised his head and smiled: "To put it bluntly, we are all a bunch of miserable people. People..."
Hearing Li Chengqian’s sad words.
Lu Wanjie couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
She just pursed her lips and looked at Li Chengqian.
She didn't understand why Li Chengqian, as the King of Qin, wanted to go against the aristocratic family.
She didn't understand why Li Chengqian, as a prince, went to Mobei to farm.
She didn't even understand why Li Chengqian was against the people of Yangzhou today.
But she only knew one thing, Li Chengqian was an excellent person, and he would never plan to harm anyone.
Lu Wanjie sat next to Li Chengqian and rested her head on Li Chengqian's shoulder.
Neither of them spoke, they just stared at the bright moon in the sky...
It seems that it comes from emotion, and it seems that it is boring.
Li Chengqian slowly swayed his body and sang softly.
"You are kind-hearted and I put my heart and soul into it. I want to see you make a fool of yourself but there are too many..."
"You don't have a hard time yourself, but you have to be moved by other people's stories..."
"Moon Moon, don't sleep. A confused person is already drunk..."
"The person I miss is no longer there, life is just a pile of thoughts..."
"Moon Moon, please don't sleep and get through this difficult time..."
Li Chengqian swayed to the rhythm of his own music, and his eyes gradually became dull.
These lyrics are a true portrayal of his current mood.
Because he knew that sooner or later someone would understand what he was doing.
One day, the world will wake up, and everything he, Li Chengqian, does today is for their sake.
His voice is ethereal, making people immersed in the singing without even realizing it.
The maids around me couldn't help but stop and look in this direction after hearing this.
Lu Wanjie didn't know whether she was in a trance after listening to the song or because of Li Chengqian.
She only knew that the way he looked when he sang was really charming...
