Zhang Mo was invited here by Chen Liqiu. After arriving, she found that Chen Liqiu was not alarmist. Changsheng's mood was indeed extremely low. Even if Changsheng tried hard to hide it, she could still feel that Changsheng was forcing a smile and cheering up.
Changsheng's mood has always been very stable. There has never been such a big fluctuation. Before she can give advice, she must find the real reason for Changsheng's low mood. And she is inconvenient to ask directly, so she can only make insinuations. Fortunately, Changsheng's words finally made her feel. She found the root cause of longevity.
Changsheng was originally an orphan. After many years of solitude, he had become accustomed to being alone. The appearance of Lin Daozhang, Batulu and others gave him family affection and warmth, but at the same time, it also burdened him with responsibilities that did not belong to him. and mission. From the moment he met Lin Daozhang and others, Changsheng never lived for himself again. Everything he did after that was to repay the kindness of Lin Daozhang and others to him.
In order to repay Taoist Lin's kindness, Changsheng traveled all the way to Gezao Mountain to deliver medicine. Later, in order to repay his father's status as Qingtian Master, he made an exception and restored Taoist priest Lin's Taoist membership. Changsheng joined Longhu Mountain. In order to repay Longhu, Thanks to Shan's kindness, Changsheng would represent the Shangqing sect in the martial arts examination for children, and even later become an official.
In the process, Changsheng got to know Batulu, Datou and others. The presence of everyone gave Changsheng companionship and warmth, but at the same time, it also gave him endless worries and concerns. In fact, Changsheng hoped that everyone would always be there, not because he needed it. Everyone, but everyone who is kind to him, Changsheng hopes that the other party will have a good outcome.
However, what everyone does is often dangerous, and one is always in danger of one's life. He is always nervous and worried about everyone, and he cannot guarantee everyone's safety. This is the main reason why Chang Sheng is depressed.
In addition, there are secondary reasons. What Changsheng is doing now and what he did before is not what he wants to do. Doing things he doesn’t want to do cannot guarantee the safety of people who are kind to him. , which made Changsheng feel that the sacrifices he had made were meaningless, and Changsheng was not a person who gave up halfway, so although he felt that what he was doing was meaningless, he still struggled to support it and gritted his teeth and persisted.
Although he found out the reason why Chang Sheng was depressed, Zhang Mo was not in a hurry to persuade him, because people are different. Extremely smart people like Chang Sheng are the most difficult to persuade. Any evasion and self-deception will be rejected by others. He is keenly aware that if he wants to persuade people like Changsheng, he must respect the facts and be completely fair.
While Changsheng bowed his head to drink the soup, Zhang Mo recalled eagerly in his mind and sorted it out one by one. Changsheng's loyalty to the emperor was not entirely because the emperor had given him the kindness to meet him, but also a large part of the reason was because the emperor granted marriage to the two and made exceptions. The crimes of Chen Liqiu and Li Zhongyong were pardoned. You must know that Chen Liqiu and Li Zhongyong committed heinous crimes. The emperor pardoned them, which made Changsheng feel that he owed the emperor a huge favor.
The emperor's promotion and sealing of Datou and others were all based on Changsheng's face. Changsheng naturally knew this, so he took this favor to himself.
In addition, Ni Zhuo and others were let go by Chang Sheng, but the emperor did not refute Chang Sheng's face and allowed Ni Zhuo's family to escape intact. This was also a great favor, and Chang Sheng was remembered on his head.
A drop of kindness is repaid by a spring. This is Chang Sheng's style of doing things. In order to repay the emperor's kindness, Chang Sheng can only turn the tide and shoulder this heavy burden. However, until now, he has found that no matter whether it is Li Zhongyong or others Still, Datou and others, including himself, everyone in Longhu Mountain, and even the Ni family far away in the Western Region, did not stay out of the matter because of his sacrifice, and were still facing danger, which made Chang Sheng helpless and frustrated.
By this time, the whole thing was clear. Changsheng had no concern for the country and the people, nor did he have the ambition to leave a name in history. Everything he did was just to repay favors and to make Changsheng open his heart. Yue has only one way, and that is to make him understand that the sacrifices he has made and the pressure he has endured are meaningful.
After thinking anxiously, Zhang Mo decided to go straight to the point. For someone like Chang Sheng, deliberate encirclement and guidance can easily backfire, making him feel that his mind has been slighted, and he must tell the truth to him.
"I, my eldest brother, and the others did something against the will of heaven and lost my Yangshou. Are you angry with me?" Zhang Mo asked in a harmonious voice.
Changsheng didn't expect Zhang Mo to ask this question suddenly, so he put down the spoon and looked up at her.
"I am yours, and I should consult with you before doing these things, but I didn't. This is my fault." Zhang Mo said.
"I have no right to be angry with you," Changsheng shook his head and said, "I almost died in Silla and made you sad and sad. My fault is even greater."
"I promise you, no matter how difficult the war is in the future, I will never make any other mistakes." Zhang Mo said seriously.
Changsheng nodded, "I will try my best to think more carefully about things in the future, and no longer put myself in danger easily."
"By the way, there's something I have to remind you." Zhang Mo said.
"What?" Changsheng asked casually.
"The palace you are living in now was the residence of Prince Hong. Back then, you and Chen Liqiu broke into the palace and killed Prince Hong," Zhang Mo said. "Will Chen Liqiu be moved by the scene and feel unhappy if he lives there?"
Hearing Zhang Mo's words, Changsheng suddenly realized, "I would have forgotten it even if you didn't tell me. It's necessary for you to remind me. I still have several houses in Chang'an. Wait until I choose one to give to them, and they will come to Chang'an in the future." There’s also a place to stay.”
"Did Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu encounter danger a few days ago?" Zhang Mo asked casually.
"Yes," Changsheng nodded, "In order to raise money for the imperial court, they were trapped by a mechanism in an ancient tomb. Fortunately, I arrived in time and they were safe. If they had arrived a little later, day, the consequences would be disastrous.”
"You don't need to worry too much," Zhang Mo said, "Li and Chen were originally prisoners of the imperial court, but now not only have they been pardoned, but they have also been made generals. They should make up for their mistakes and share the worries of the imperial court."
Chang Sheng glanced at Zhang Mo and did not answer.
Zhang Mo added, "Without you, Shuzhou would have been captured by the imperial court a long time ago, and they would have lost their lives. As a junior brother, you are impeccable. You have done everything you can do for them."
"What did you and them say at the door this morning?" Changsheng asked with a frown.
Zhang Mo did not answer Chang Sheng's question, but said, "There are also Datou and Yang Kai. As a superior, you are extremely benevolent to them. Without you, they would not be able to be a general, let alone a general."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Changsheng asked doubtfully.
Zhang Mo said seriously, "What I want to say is that you are worthy of all of us. Don't always worry about us in the future. You are not a god. You can't predict things in advance, control everything, and you can't protect everyone."
Without waiting for Changsheng to answer, Zhang Mo said again, "That day, I only thought you were dead in Silla, so I wouldn't be sad, but I felt very calm in my heart, because it was God's blessing to get to know you. After several lifetimes, if I can do it again Isn’t it too greedy to wish for eternity?”
"I'm not as good as you said." Chang Sheng was a little embarrassed.
Zhang Mo added, "It's the same between you and me, and it's the same with you and Datou, Batulu and others. You are also a Taoist priest. You should know that fate is determined by fate. You can gain it calmly and lose it calmly. There is no need to be nervous and worried, let alone panic. disturbed."
"I'm not panicked either." Changsheng denied casually.
"You do," Zhang Mo said seriously, "you are always worried that we people can't accompany you to the end."
"What happened to you today?" Chang Sheng asked in confusion.
Zhang Mo did not answer Chang Sheng's question, but said, "I shouldn't have gone with my eldest brother last time. You were still injured, so I should have been by your side."
Changsheng didn't understand why Zhang Mo was acting out of character today, "What happened to you? Did something happen?"
"It's okay, I just felt it," Zhang Mo said, "Eat it quickly, it will get cold if you don't."
"I'm full." Changsheng said.
"Are you really full?" Zhang Mo asked with a smile.
"I'm really full." Changsheng nodded.
"Are you really full?" Zhang Mo was still laughing.
"It's okay to eat some more..."
