Li Ze brought the pot full of tea for Gongsun Changming, put down the teapot, looked at the other party, and said, "Mr. Gongsun, are you all looking forward to my independence in the Tang Dynasty?"

Gongsun Changming laughed: "Today, Li Xiang, do you still have to care about him? Even if you really don't have this intention, I'm afraid that the times will push you toward that position step by step. Even if you really don't want to sit in that position, your subordinates will not agree. They will put you on that seat as they carry it. Who doesn't want to be a founding hero?"

"Your Mr. Gongsun probably doesn't care about being here, right?" Li Ze shook his head and said, "If some of my other subordinates think so, I believe, but your Mr. Gongsun is a real person who is a man of the ten thousand houses."

Gongsun Changming's eyes dimmed for a moment, shook his head and sighed, "I'm tired. I'm actually not lucky in my life. From the time of governor, what I saw was desolate and hungry. I could only look for the so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty. I could only find it from the pile of books. I was determined to support the world, be a famous minister in history, and regain the glory of the prosperous times. But after most of my life, I saw that I was getting farther and farther away from my original intention."

"I heard Zhang Xun occasionally say that you and Zhang Hui are still fellow disciples?" Li Ze said: "But why did you turn against each other later?"

"It's not a question of turning against each other." Gongsun Changming said: "At most of the time, it's just different ways of doing things. At first I was the same as him, but seeing the court becoming increasingly weaker and weaker, the world became darker and darker, I knew that I would study the moral articles and universal paths, but I was afraid that I would not be able to save the world in a short time, so I plunged into the darkness. This had a fierce dispute with Zhang Hui, but even my master was standing on Zhang Hui's side at that time, so I broke out in anger. This was why Zhang Hui had been annoyed by me all his life. In his eyes, I was a traitor."

"I didn't expect that I would eventually be together, right?" Li Ze laughed. Sometimes life is indeed very wonderful. Zhang Hui, Gongsun Changming and the other two are two extremes no matter how you look at it. If Zhang Xun hadn't mentioned this occasionally, it would be hard for Li Ze to imagine that these two people were taught by the same person's disciple.

"My Master is an amazing person. He can actually teach you two at the same time. But why is he still a nameless person?" Li Ze was a little curious.

"A good at fighting has no great achievements." Gongsun Changming said. "After I broke out, I walked further and further down the side of the left and right path in Zhang Hui's mouth. In order to prove that I was wrong, he also struggled to advance. When Lu Long helped Zhang Zhongwu, he also became the high priest of the court."

"At that time, you all achieved success."

"But in the end, we didn't fulfill our ideas. Zhang Hui resigned in disgrace and returned to the garden. And I escaped from Lu Long like a dog." Gongsun Changming said: "I'm not surprised that Zhang Zhongwu rebelled, but I know that his tricks can't save this world at all. They will only make the world more and more chaotic."

"Actually, our actions back then were similar to rebellion. Why did Mr. Gongsun take a fancy to me later?" Li Ze asked with a smile.

"I didn't like you from the beginning." Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "At that time, I had no way out, only you were willing to accept me. Others, including the emperor and other towns, probably want to give me to Zhang Zhongwu to calm his anger."

As he said this, Gongsun Changming pointed to the tomb not far away, "Although you are a little confused, you are still a man. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known you, Li Xiang. However, when I saw you, I only thought you would be a troublemaker. I never thought that you had done so many things at a young age."

"When did Mr. Gongsun think I am a person who can help me?" Li Ze asked.

"I really want to know?" Gongsun Changming asked with wide eyes.

"nature."

"Start from the time you killed your brother." Gongsun Changming said: "At that time, I already knew a lot of things about you. I thought this kid was amazing. He had the potential to be heroic and was more promising than Zhang Zhongwu. When he was tolerated, he could bear it and never ruthless when he was to start. But at that time, I didn't really think that you had the ability to end this troubled time, but I was just a terrible person. I never thought that along the way, my confidence became stronger and stronger. I was very glad that I chose someone. This troubled time seemed to be over in your hands. I had a long-cherished wish in my life. Even if I die in the future, I would lie in the coffin board and sing."

Li Ze laughed: "If this is true, I'm afraid that the people who come to mourn will be frightened."

"It's just what I wish for if I can die with satisfaction." Gongsun Changming seemed extremely proud.

Li Ze picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Mr. Gongsun, are you hiding something from me?"

"No!" Gongsun Changming said decisively.

"A few days ago, Tian Bo came to me, but he wanted to speak but stopped." Li Ze smiled calmly: "The next day, Yang Kailai saw me, and he was also hesitant."

Gongsun Changming shrugged: "Li Xiang, do you believe me?"

"nature."

"Then do you believe in Yang Kai and Tian Bo?"

"Of course, it's trust."

"Since that's the case, why do you want to know everything?" Gongsun Changming shook his head and said, "You are the person sitting in the highest position. There are some things, I think you only need to know the result. As for how some things are done in the middle, you know them clearly, but it may not be a good thing. Sometimes, it's better not to know."

"I also know this principle. I am a person, not a god, and it is impossible to control everything in my hands." Li Ze said slowly: "It is no problem for Mr. Gongsun to have his own ideas. Yang Kai is in charge of Yixing Society, and he has his own ideas. In fact, there is a big gap between the current Yixing Society and what I originally thought, but it seems that the effect is not bad. But Tian Bo is different. He is an inner guard and my retainer."

Gongsun Changming nodded and said, "So after this incident, Tian Bo should leave this seat. From the first day I knew you, I also met this cripple man. He has always been very respectful to me. I don't want him to have no end in the future."

"Do you think I will deal with him one day?" Li Ze was a little dissatisfied.

"People who stayed in this position for a long time will definitely not end up well." Gongsun Changming said: "Li Xiang, this is not based on your will. Now the inner guard is still mainly external. Once Li Xiang, you will unify the world in the future, a large part of the inner guard's responsibilities will be turned inward. At that time, this position is a crater, and you must be ready to take the blame at any time. So I also want to take this opportunity to pick him out."

"So you are not ready to tell me about this?" Li Ze said.

"When it's time to report to Li Xiang, I will naturally tell you. Now, there is not a single word yet." Gongsun Changming curled his lips.

"Or, I can probably guess what's going on." Li Ze sighed and said.

"Seeing through but not saying it out is a quality that a superior should have." Gongsun Changming smiled.

"Then do you think who can take over this position after Tian Bo? This position is extraordinary." Li Ze asked.

"I think Gao Xiangsheng is good." Gongsun Changming recommended a candidate who surprised Li Ze: "When Li Xiang unified the world and sat on the dragon throne, Gao Xiangsheng is the best hunting dog. Li Xiang, by that time, you need someone like this who has no connection with most people now to sit in this position. Only in this way can you truly be deterred. Do you think Tian Bo can do it? He is cruel and ruthless to the enemy, but he is too soft-hearted to his own people."

"I understand. Mr. Gongsun is indeed far-sighted."

"I'm all a trivial way, but in addition to open conspiracy, conspiracy is also indispensable. Yin and Yang are born, and balance is the right thing to do." Gongsun Changming said.

Li Ze nodded: "Mr. Gongsun, in fact, has come to this point. He said that I don't want to go further. That's a lie. Moreover, I don't care as much about reputation as you think. What is reputation and what is historical books? They are just rewritten by the winners."

He pointed to another tomb in the distance and said, "I'm going to say that I will definitely cut off the relationship between the Su family and my Li family in the future. And before I could say anything, someone was already doing it for me."

Gongsun Changming nodded. He understood this matter after a moment of thinking about it. If Li Ze became the emperor and was conferred his parents, he would have to confer his biological mother. In order to achieve this goal, he could only erase Su from the history books. In his opinion, this was nothing at all.

"The reason why I feel hesitant and look back in the eyes of gentlemen is not because of the reasons you think, but because I have been thinking about how to make the dynasty established by Li Ze not be like the previous dynasties, and eventually decline from prosperity and decline from decline? It is said that the greed of a gentleman is killed for five generations. What should I do if I want to achieve it for thousands of years?"

Listening to Li Ze's words, Gongsun Changming couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He had never considered this issue.

Who wouldn't want every founding emperor to go all the way? But who has done it since Yan, Huang, Yao and Shun? Li Ze's question is too big and he feels that he can't do it.
