"So you went out this time just to meet a woman?"
Li Longyuan looked at the emperor who was sitting on the throne in disbelief.
"You don't really care about chastity, do you? It's just a kiss."
The emperor sat upright, smiling.
"Taoists pay attention to the Supreme Being and forget their feelings. Do you also want to learn the way of Heaven, treat all things with indifference, and treat common people as stupid dogs? Li Longyuan."
The emperor directly called him by name for the first time.
"If you really had the mentality of being together for the rest of your life, I promise you would not do such a thing. But you are not. You are more arrogant and conceited than anyone else, and your strong possessiveness will not allow the woman you like. Out of control.”
"Actually, they have always been in your sight. When Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty Liu Che was young, he promised Princess Guantao to build a golden house to hide his beloved ones, but the golden house was too narrow. As an emperor, there are golden houses everywhere in the world. Where can't you hide your beloved ones?"
The emperor seemed to have seen through him, or in other words, he had seen through himself.
"Right."
Li Longyuan listened silently to the emperor's analysis of his inner secrets. After a while, he laughed softly.
"After all, for a man who is as virtuous as the Three Emperors and as powerful as the Five Emperors, a majestic Epang Palace three hundred miles away can accommodate countless beauties from the Six Kingdoms."
"Many scholars in later generations have said that you have a hobby of collecting, but few people accuse you of being lustful. I am very curious about the reason." Li Longyuan asked.
"Most of the monarchs who have made great achievements in the fields of politics, military, and economics have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. The difference between these wise monarchs and faint monarchs lies in whether they can maintain sober self-control."
"The former entertains himself with power and sex, while the latter indulges in desire. When people have no goals and cannot completely control themselves, they will become driven slaves. The monarch with a trough in his chest sits on the throne, looking at the world, and The mediocre master who indulges in pleasure is lying on the hem of a woman's skirt, and his eyes are confused by the naked body."
"To me, no matter whether it is glory, wealth or beauty, they are just fine wines to comfort travelers who are walking on a lonely journey. Just like the starlight that appropriately embellishes life, it is far from everything."
The emperor crossed his fingers and looked clearly at the young man below.
He traveled along the long river of time for thousands of years, experienced the wind, frost, rain and snow in the world, and saw the ups and downs of countries far beyond his imagination.
The pictures the emperor once showed Li Longyuan about the past were only a small microcosm of what he saw with his own eyes.
Just like a mortal who accidentally ate the Queen Mother's peach and gained a thousand-year lifespan, he could also glimpse his destiny in the mortal world that he constantly experienced, and get a glimmer of the opportunity to be ranked among the immortals.
What's more, this King of Qin, who has shown amazing willpower since he ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, later became the first emperor who unified the country, and is now the black-robed emperor.
He was horribly self-possessed and inhuman.
So much so that Li Longyuan couldn't figure out what the emperor who had not died for thousands of years was planning in his mind. What have I learned from the long millennium?
"You do have perseverance, I am nowhere near as good as you."
Li Yongyuan unconsciously used the honorific.
"But people's pursuits are different. I don't have to be the same as you. Besides, there is no emperor in this world now."
The young people spread their hands below, instead of looking at the ugly human heart and playing dirty tricks. He prefers to look at the scenery of clouds rolling in and out, flowers blooming and falling, wandering around the world aimlessly, and enjoying the still beauty of every moment of life.
"Without enough strength to support all this, all your dreams are empty talk."
"I have seen many kinds of ordinary people in this world, from being complacent in childhood to struggling in middle age. I have seen many lovers who have been clinging to each other until death, but their vigorous emotions have been dulled by the daily life of daily necessities."
"It's very interesting, isn't it? Just like what is always circulated in this era, the breakup season of senior year, the law that long-distance relationships are destined to break up, and poor and humble couples are miserable. Many couples think that they will be the special couple, and believe that the power of love is enough Beyond any barriers. But few people can break the iron rule."
"I just want to give this example. Young people always like to doubt history and the experience of people who have been there, but when they personally hit their heads and bleed, they realized that their power was so small that they could not resist at all. brutal reality."
"The same goes for you, Li Longyuan, your life is so good. Even though you have received a cruel elite education since childhood, it is not a setback in my eyes. Because you were born to be the person who should be supported on the throne, just like Qin Shihuang. The politics are the same. You have never walked down the steps of the palace with your feet on the ground and experienced real human suffering."
"However, history will tell us that even the remnants of the First Emperor who fought for the sixth generation, gathered the soldiers of the world, sharpened dysprosium and cast the twelve golden figures, and created a foundation for eternity, they could not stop the death of the second generation. The angry head of Guizhou Even with only bamboo spears and wooden spears, we can overthrow this huge empire."
"What about you? Li Longyuan. You live in this abnormal ethnic organization, and you were elected to the position of orthodox true king because of your noble blood and superior strength."
"But if one day Li Chengqian, who protects you from the wind and rain, dies of illness, and then the whole world turns against you. With your strength, can you stop all this? The orthodox clan elders will rest assured that a man who has no ambitions and desires and just wants to live a life of leisurely clouds and wild cranes Is this guy the head of the family?"
"There are always some stupid superiors who think that as long as the subordinates are loyal to the previous generation, they will treat them with the same loyalty. It seems that as long as they have noble blood, they can win over them with their domineering aura."
"If you ignore the desires in the eyes of little people and don't understand the power of the emperor, you are destined to become a pawn at the mercy of others."

"Unless you can kill all the rebellious ministers by yourself and dominate the world with the authority as majestic and supreme as the sun."
The emperor changed his subject and suddenly changed from a wise and powerful monarch to a tyrant who massacred the common people.
Yes, when the First Emperor was alive, even though the entire empire had mixed the six kingdoms, the people were displaced, and the cultural inheritance was interrupted, they still did not dare to resist when the emperor of the ages was in power.
People fell in love with his great achievements because of their innate longing for the strong, but the cruelty and harshness of Qin's law was also deeply engraved in the hearts of every Qin person at that time.
"If you are not strong enough to do this, then put your thoughts away. As a superior, it is more stupid to have no desires than to indulge in desires. You can seek the Tao, but you can't let the people below follow you to practice the Tao."
"Fortunately, I still have Gu behind you."
Li Longyuan stood at the foot of the palace steps and raised his eyebrows.
"If one day you no longer have any meaning in living, give this body to me."
"I still have two chances to make a wish. This is what keeps me alive."
The young man made a V sign with a smile on his face. A guy like the emperor is too dangerous, and every word he speaks leads him to the path he envisions.
Therefore, it is better for people to be stupid sometimes and never understand the cruel rules of the world, because people who are well aware of the status quo but unable to change the facts will be particularly miserable living in a cage.
But people in his position actually already have some ability to affect reality.
As for the emperor, what does he want to do?
Re-establish a Great Qin Empire?
Not that stupid.
Thousands of years of time were enough for him to realize the backwardness of the feudal system and the shackles on people.
ps: Many people may not understand after reading this paragraph. The black-robed emperor is obviously Ying Zheng, but why he always feels that he and Qin Shihuang are two different people.
Just as the black-robed emperor said to Li Chengqian earlier, Qin Shihuang is dead. His death is recorded in history books in 210 BC.
What survives may be the remnant of his past, or his legacy, but he is no longer Ying Zheng with the dream of unifying the world.
He is just the author, rewriting and continuing the spirit of the First Emperor.
It's just one of the things that thousands of Hamlets believe in.
