Facing Li Chen's extremely sincere invitation, Tantai Jingzhi smiled.
He did not respond positively to the invitation, but asked a question.
"Your Highness, do you think there will ever be a real He Qing Haiyan in the officialdom of the Qin Dynasty?"
Li Chen frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and replied: "No."
"For thousands of years, China has gone through many dynasties. Each generation of emperors hopes that the officials will govern the Qingming Dynasty, the rivers will be clear and the sea will be prosperous, and all the people in the world will live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone will be prosperous. However, it turns out that this is just a beautiful fantasy. No matter how great the prosperous age, there are
There is a game of power, and there are those who are greedy for their own selfish interests, ranging from corruption and bending the law, to tampering with the country. As long as there is power and people's hearts in this world, intrigues will never stop."
Dantai Jingzhi solemnly said: "As Your Highness, it takes a lot of courage to analyze the officialdom so thoroughly and say it without reservation. I admire you."
Li Chen frowned and said, "Sir, you haven't answered my question yet."
Tantai Jingzhi smiled and said: "Isn't the old man's answer hidden in what His Highness just said?"
Li Chen was stunned for a moment.
At this time, I heard Tan Tai Jingzhi say: "Official career is not what I want, and intrigues are not what I am good at. I am just an old teacher who has been studying for several years. My biggest wish is to put in my belly a little bit from the sages.
It is my greatest wish that ink can be passed down and be passed down to scholars all over the world."
"Today, in order to make the government clear, His Highness can restart the cabinet and let the old man serve as the new cabinet minister. But in the future, when this group of people fall and a new group of people take over, won't the old man become another cancer?"
"As His Highness said, as long as the power is still there and the hearts of the people are still there, the intrigues will never stop. The old man may not forget his original intention, but others may not. If the old man is not willing to fight with His Highness, he will simply not join this day.
I would like to ask Your Highness to understand the wishes of an old teacher."
Li Chen stared at the Dantai mirror for a moment, sighed softly, and said: "It's windy and snowy outside, sir, please come back."
After saying that, Li Chen turned around and got on the carriage.
As the carriage left behind deep ruts and gradually disappeared into the wind and snow, Dantai Jingzhi bowed deeply to the carriage and said: "Regards...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The carriage was on its way back to Beijing. Li Chen opened the curtain and looked outside. With the ban on contact, some people were already taking to the streets one after another, but everyone's expression was very serious, as if there was an invisible cloud.
shrouded in everyone's mind.
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve."
Li Chen breathed out gently, leaned against the car, closed his eyes slightly, and had countless thoughts running through his mind.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage paused slightly.
"Your Highness, we are here."
Hearing this, Li Chen opened his eyes, the fatigue on his face was wiped away, and he stood up and got out of the carriage.
Looking up at the plaque of "Zhao Mansion", Li Chen went straight inside.
"This young master will stay."
The servants in Zhao Xuanji's house were quite polite, and there was no show of pretentiousness or contempt.
"May I ask if the young master is here to see my master? If so, do you have a greeting card?"
Li Chen said warmly: "I don't have a greeting card, please let me know."
The servant smiled and asked again: "Since I don't have a greeting card, can you tell me the origin of my name? I can go and inform you."
