Although it is freezing cold, it is already spring after all, but this spring, the cold seems to be much more severe than before.
Prince Zhao Hanqing's hands and feet were now a little blue from the cold, but he didn't seem to notice. He just stared at Li Chengfeng, intently, as if to observe his true attitude and reaction from his reaction.
This question really stumped him. Considering his current situation, there was no doubt that siding with Zhao Feiyue was the best choice, but by doing so... Li Chengfeng betrayed his heart, and he became Those profit animals he hates the most!
What is a benefit animal
Those who like to play tricks and only see gains and losses are profit animals. In their eyes, as long as there are enough benefits, everything can be sacrificed.
But Li Chengfeng has never been such a person. He was silent for a moment, raised his eyes, looked directly at Zhao Hanqing, and said: "Your Highness, I have a sweetheart, and I have disappointed Your Highness."
Zhao Hanqing took a deep look at Li Chengfeng, nodded slightly, and quickly changed the topic: "Come for a walk with me again."
The two of them continued to walk forward. After walking for a while, Zhao Hanqing said, "My younger brother has already started to counterattack. Although your three plans are good, my father has some concerns. I'm afraid no matter how good the policy is, it will not work." I can do my best!"
Li Chengfeng thought to himself: Why are you worried! It's obviously because they are afraid that you will be too powerful and want to use the fourth prince to restrain you! With you as my younger brother trying so hard to hold me back, it’s really hard for you to run fast in front! The enemy is in the imperial city! !
Naturally, Li Chengfeng would not say this out loud. He said, "Does His Highness know what the fourth prince's plans are?"
Zhao Hanqing said: "I have inquired a little bit, but it is nothing more than fighting with me in the ring. As far as I know, he has opened a Baixi House opposite every gambling site..."
Li Chengfeng was shocked: "Huh? There is a Baixi Theater opposite every store? How can there be so many places?"
Zhao Hanqing smiled and said: "As he said, there is only one Baixifang, which is located on Shenmiao Street. The others are just sites for gambling and lottery tickets."
Li Chengfeng asked: "What other plans does the Fourth Prince have?"
Zhao Hanqing said: "The fourth child is going to cause trouble at the Chunlan Club you organized, so you should be careful."
Li Chengfeng laughed: "What a way to ruin things?"
Zhao Hanqing smiled happily: "It's just a competition. If you hold a Chunlan Party, he will hold an Qiuju Party. If you hold one in Bichun Garden in the west of the city, he will hold one in Luotian Garden opposite you. Anyway, he won't disturb you. He won't give up."
Li Chengfeng laughed: "If we start a battle and fight with real swords and guns, then I'm not afraid of him, I'm just afraid that his hands and feet are not clean and he's here to mess with me!"
Zhao Hanqing said sternly: "Although the fourth child has a surly and paranoid personality, he has real talents and learning. Don't underestimate him. Moreover, his attainments in music and dance are extremely profound, no less than any of the contemporary masters."
Li Chengfeng said confidently: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Let's go to his theater tonight and see what kind of tricks he can do! It's just in time to let him see what we're doing... Ahem, eating, drinking and whoring... Ahem, let’s see how good we are at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, playing, playing and singing!”
Zhao Hanqing stared at Li Chengfeng with a half-smile but said nothing. After all, in his eyes, he regarded Li Chengfeng as his friend and not as his subordinate, so he did not If there were too many demands on him, he just patted Li Chengfeng on the shoulder and said: "There are many empty talkers like Lao Si in the world, but there are few doers like you who work hard! The world rises and falls, and all people suffer. I hope these three strategies of yours can truly bring blessings to the people of the world!"
Li Chengfeng said very seriously: "Your Highness has given you too much praise. I am just talking with words. Your Highness is the real man of action. I deeply admire you!"
Zhao Hanqing had no complacency on his face. He looked at the women who were planting rice in the farmland with deep eyes. He said: "When I was very young, my master had an accident when he took me on my first trip. That was my accident." When I was less than ten years old. Before that, I was actually no different from the fourth child. I read the books of saints, spoke the words of saints, and talked about how to harmonize the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. But how to harmonize the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world? ? I don’t know! We don’t know what the world is. The world only exists in the books we read and in the imagination in our minds. It wasn’t until the master took me out to see it that I knew, The world is not as simple as the saint said. The world is for everyone, for all living beings, and for the hardworking people!"
Zhao Hanqing said casually, not even using the formal title "Gu" in his words, but using the ordinary "I". He walked slowly and spoke slowly, while Li Chengfeng walked beside him. Follow and listen.
Zhao Hanqing continued: "Everyone thinks: first-class monks, second-class scribes, and third-class warriors, these people determine and promote the pattern and development of our world. This is a big mistake! What really drives the world and determines the pattern of the world Yes, it is the common people of the world, it is the people of the world! You may think that I am saying this because I can stand and talk without pain! However, when my master took me on a long trip for the first time, we encountered a ground dragon. At that time, the entire convoy dispersed I even fell under the cliff and was separated from the guards and my master. Thirteen bones were broken in my body at that time, and I fell under the cliff and suffered from hunger and cold for two days and two nights!"
Li Chengfeng was shocked. He didn't expect that the prince had such a story.
Zhao Hanqing added: "At that time, I thought I was dead, until a herb farmer found me when he went to the mountain to collect herbs and picked me up. At that time, I was dressed plainly and had no money. They didn't know who I was. , I don’t know what’s the benefit of saving me, but they used their last remaining food to save me... "
There were faint tears in Zhao Hanqing's eyes, and he said emotionally: "When they slaughtered the last old hen, the children who were waiting for food were not even willing to give them an extra sip of the chicken soup. I drank almost all of it." Only later did I understand what the master meant by this world!"
"It is the people of this world who have worked hard to support us with their last bits of food, and that is why we have the status of masters like us, and why Daqi has been a country for five hundred years! Only then can we, the cultivators, be born. The path of cultivation without distractions! Without them, would you really be able to live without food, and would we really be able to live in the open and wind?"
Zhao Hanqing sighed and said: "The most lovable people in the world are the people who serve us without any regrets! You tell me, if I don't let them live a better life, then...am I, the prince, still a human being?" "
Li Chengfeng always thought that Zhao Hanqing was a prince who aspired to be a saint, and everything he did was done for the sake of his own sainthood. It was an innate sense of justice and mission, but now he knew that That's not the case. It turns out that the prince has such a secret past. This fully explains why the prince is so determined to change and stand on the side of the people of the world, even if he does not hesitate to offend the powerful, the spiritual world, and even Qiankun Divine Sect takes action!
Because the prince saw clearly that the people who really support the world, the monks and nobles like them, are the poor people who stand in the dirty mud fields and are not afraid of wind, rain, cold and hardship, and work hard all their lives!
At this moment, Li Chengfeng was sincerely convinced, and for the first time he bowed deeply from the bottom of his heart: "Your Highness Renming, Your Excellency Li Chengfeng is willing to follow you to restore peace to the world and peace to the people!"
