Chapter 17 Return the Emperor! What kind of Emperor?
Facing Ji Ruxue’s question, Li Xingyun was silent for a while.
But soon.
A trace of determination flashed across his pupils, and then he took a deep breath and answered Ji Ruxue's question.
"Xue'er, since Zhu Wen and his son usurped the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has existed in name only. Thirty years have passed. Maybe the bad people of the Tang Dynasty will still recognize me as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but it does not mean that the people of Li will still remember the great Tang Dynasty.
Tang."
"You are right. The capital Chang'an was indeed destroyed by the Huangchao Rebellion in the past, but it was also the capital that everyone in the world aspired to when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak."
"Since Chang'an, like the Tang Dynasty, was destroyed due to warlord rebellion, then I will build the capital Chang'an and the Iron-Blooded Tang Dynasty from scratch brick by brick."
"If he [she] Li Maozhen dares to stop me, even if he breaks through Fengxiang Mansion and hundreds of thousands of troops come to Qi Kingdom, he [she] will still compete with him [her]."
When Li Xingyun spoke, every word in his mouth showed the dominance of the king.
The way of heaven flows without any accumulation, so all things come into being.
The emperor's fortune is good but there is no accumulation, so the world returns.
The holy way is full of luck and has no accumulation, so it is served within the sea.
When the king dominates, the country will be determined.
If the king does not dominate, the country will be unstable.
Now that I have made a choice and chosen to ascend the throne and become emperor to restore the Tang Dynasty, I must learn to be a good king.
However.
Li Xingyun also understood that he wanted to restore the Tang Dynasty.
It's easier said than done.
But now that he has embarked on this path.
Just keep going on in a domineering manner.
The word kindness never belongs to the king.
The capital Chang'an, he, Li Xingyun is determined!
"Could it be said that if you want to restore the Tang Dynasty, you must fight with war..."
Talk half way.
Ji Ruxue's tone was a little helpless, and she soon couldn't speak anymore.
Because even she knew that if Li Xingyun wanted to restore the Tang Dynasty, he would inevitably cause endless troubles and bloodshed in the future, and it would be impossible to live in peace forever.
This bastard.
Do you think you are his woman now, so you are the first one to attack Qiguo on purpose?
"It's only a matter of time before we meet in war. Xue'er, you have to understand that it's only a matter of time that I take action against other vassal kings. It's just that Qi Kingdom is standing in front of me now."
The vassal kings mentioned by Li Xingyun were the former military governors of the Tang Dynasty. Now they have established themselves as a country, respecting the Tang Dynasty as the supreme kingdom of heaven, and calling themselves vassal states to unite the people.
Although they respectfully called Li Xingyun the emperor, in fact they all wanted to replace him, just like Daliang before, who successfully stole the orthodox political power of the Tang Dynasty.
"Xingyun, you have changed and become domineering. You never spoke like this before." Ji Ruxue said softly.
Li Xingyun used to have a sunny and cheerful personality.
At that time, Li Xingyun still had a trace of innocence.
I don’t know when it started.
She suddenly discovered that Li Xingyun had changed and matured, as if in an instant, he had grown up and experienced many things that she didn't know about.
No matter how much Li Xingyun’s own personality has changed.
Ji Ruxue still remembers the old Li Xingyun, who dreamed of three wives and four concubines all day long, pinned her hopes on the life of Xianyun Yehe, and even secretly missed her junior sister.
It was a bit reluctant to talk about love, but she could tell that Li Xingyun simply didn't want to see the juicy cabbage he raised at home end up being fucked by another stinky man.
But now...
Ji Ruxue discovered that no matter how a person changes, the essence of a man cannot be changed, just like a dog cannot change its habit of eating shit.
These days, under the personal care of the two Jiutian Saints of Huanyinfang, she felt that Li Xingyun seemed to be a little fascinated by the sisters Xuan Jingtian and Miaochengtian.
Just as Ji Ruxue thought, no matter how Li Xingyun's heart changed.
In essence, he is still the man who longs for three wives and four concubines, but he has just given up on Xianyun Yehe. He does still like these sisters.
This is nothing surprising.
Even Ji Ruxue felt it was nothing, but the desire for exclusivity in her heart was a bit unwilling. She didn't want to share Li Xingyun with other women.
And.
Regardless of whether Li Xingyun is a descendant of the Li Tang royal family, even if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is really an ordinary person, it is not a heinous crime to want three wives and four concubines.
Today is not the modern era.
Is it wrong for a man to have three wives and four concubines?
That's right.
In this era, it is natural to want three wives and four concubines.
No woman would think that Li Xingyun did anything wrong in this regard, but she just couldn't reconcile why she was not one of his women.
"Yes, I have changed and I no longer recognize myself. Can I really do what that person once did?"
Li Xingyun wanted to smile bitterly, but he couldn't. He seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and crying but not crying. This made his whole person look so vicissitudes of life.
Take a look at ancient and modern history books.
Except for Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, a lucky man in the eyes of others and an emperor who was ridiculed as a great magician by later generations, no other person successfully restored the previous dynasty.
At the beginning.
Li Xingyun does not want to accept the free throne now, nor does he want to assume the power given by the Li Tang royal family. He just wants to enjoy the life of Xianyun Yehe freely.
But it wasn't until he experienced more and more things that he realized how much he had lost and how many people had been hurt because of him.
In the end, he gradually understood that unless he committed suicide directly, otherwise he, the most orthodox bloodline of the Li Tang royal family, would never be able to achieve true peace and harmony.
But...
Li Xingyun once promised a person that he must live well.
So.
At that time, he was thinking, if he had not refused to ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, would he not have to go through these sufferings again?
Fortunately.
He can start all over again and make up for his past regrets, but he doesn’t know whether this is luck or misfortune.
This life.
He wanted to live up to himself, the bad guy Yuan Tiangang, the bad guys who had spent thirty years for him, and the common people who looked forward to the restoration of the Tang Dynasty.
As for Lu Linxuan and Ji Ruxue.
Li Xingyun doesn't want them to follow him through life and death. He doesn't know whether tomorrow will be fine. Now, it's good to be like this. By his side, he no longer has to worry about any grudges or grudges.
.........
At the same time.
Fengxiang Mansion, Qi State.
"What do you mean by Li Xingyun? Fortunately, I sent two Nine Heavens Saints to serve him personally, but in the end, I didn't care about the kindness at all, and finally bullied me alone, right?"
The person who spoke looked extremely noble, with a handsome face and a cold complexion, eyebrows as bright as stars, and a radiant look. His hair was tied high and he had a heroic aura coming towards him.
It is worth noting.
Although he [she] is dressed in boy's clothes, he still cannot conceal his daughter's heroic temperament. Her whole body exudes maturity and coldness, and she invisibly displays a deep and domineering aura.
No need to ask any more questions.
He [she] is Li Maozhen, the Qi Prince of Fengxiang Prefecture, and the aloof empress of Huanyinfang.
"Empress...King Qi, I feel that the emperor simply wants to formally ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in Chang'an, and does not have much intention to target Qi Kingdom or King Qi."
"Although Chang'an was destroyed due to the Huangchao Rebellion in the past, when it comes to the eastern capital Luoyang and the capital Chang'an, the most recognized capital of the Tang Dynasty in the hearts of people all over the world is probably the capital Chang'an."
As one of the Nine Heavenly Saints of Huanyinfang, Sanskrit Saint Princess, although she has a hot temper and wants to beat up Li Xingyun, at this moment she can only try her best to comfort King Qi in front of her.
"Return to the emperor! What kind of emperor? Let's call him Li Xingyun in private." Li Maozhen [Empress] said angrily.
