Jiang Gan was silent for a moment, then chewed the dried fruit again. A faint sadness overwhelmed him. He felt mixed feelings and impulse.
So that's it... No wonder she likes eating dried fruit so much, no wonder she always feeds dried fruit to him. It turns out that she has been comforting him in this way.
"It's okay... I should apologize to you." Jiang Gan said.
"What are you wrong?" Li Qingyao touched his head, looked at the people coming and going on the street, and said softly, "The sunrise is ten feet high, and everything in the world is as fine as hairs. The wild man is angry and sees injustice, and wears the eternal knife in his chest... It is correct for you to feel angry and sad. The king enjoys the joy of the people and worrys about the people, and then he can rule the world."
It’s not because of this. Jiang Ganxin said.
But it’s good that Li Qingyao misunderstood. If she didn’t have a misunderstanding, then Jiang Gan would really be nervous.
Jiang Gan swallowed the dried fruit in her mouth, and she thought a lot in her heart, but she just said in a bad mood: "Sometimes I also think, maybe I really don't have the amazing talent like Emperor Wen, but I might be the High Emperor..."
Li Qingyao shook his head and laughed: "Is it necessary to be a high emperor? In the past, the Gao emperor, who shone with the Shengwu, broke the heroes, raised a three-foot sword to eliminate tyranny, and used the heroes of the world to comfort the four extremes. The hardships are no less than those of Emperor Wen."
"But Emperor Gao needs meritorious people to achieve his imperial career... Are you willing to be my meritorious people?" Jiang Gan looked up at Li Qingyao with hope.
A few months ago, he was half a head shorter than Li Qingyao, but now the gap has gradually narrowed. The two of them looked at each other. The evening breeze blew Li Qingyao's hair, like a dancing ribbon, which made Jiang Gan's face slightly warm.
"I should do my best, but you shouldn't think so. Since ancient times, there has never been an emperor's career, but I hope for someone who is capable of doing it first." Li Qingyao let out a light sigh and showed a helpless smile.
"You said this again, those who are capable should work harder. What's more, even Emperor Wen led the heroes of the world back then to achieve this great cause. How could there be a king who ruled alone since ancient times?" Jiang Gan said.
Li Qingyao frowned slightly, and a trace of inexplicable expression flashed, but this flash of micro-expression did not attract Jiang Gan's attention.
Yu Huai's night market was also bustling, and the two of them were just moving forward silently.
"Do you always eat dried fruits because you feel sad?" After being silent for a long time, Jiang Gan looked up at Li Qingyao, then lowered her head.
Li Qingyao did not answer Jiang Gan’s question, but suggested: “Do you want to go to the teahouse to rest for a while? There are all kinds of people there.”
Jiang Gan raised her head silently: "Okay."
It seems that he didn't ask anything just now.
The two of them were in the night market, and the teahouse was also particularly lively. The shop was crowded with people, and they were talking and talking.
"This little Ni Ri is really not a thing. If it weren't for Qinglianjun this time, they would have really let their trick succeed!"
"Ni Ri has been provoking our country for decades. Now I, Yu Huai, have strong troops and horses, and Zhang and Yu, two generals, can't help but advance eastward!"
"So too, huh, the clown jumping, I wanted to take advantage of the situation a few years ago. Do you really think that I, Yu Huai, can't destroy them?"
"I wonder what the court officials thought? If I really beat Ni Rimonu one day, I would like to donate all my belongings!"
"So too. If I can really destroy Ni Ri, I would rather hand over all the money to the country!"
“…”
Li Qingyao and Jiang Gan sat in a corner, listening silently as everyone talked, Jiang Gan smiled and said, "I am so popular, but someone refuses to use it for his own selfish desires."
"The people's hearts can be changed easily. The adults are like the wind, and the villains are like grass. The wind on the grass will silence." Li Qingyao disagreed and whispered, then stood up, walked to the people, and said to them with a bitter face, "Don't mention it, I heard that the court seems to be really going to use troops against Ni Ri!"
Everyone looked over curiously: "How did you hear it?"
"I have a distant relative who works at the Shangshutai... Oh, I'm not a big shot, I'm just a minor official, but I often get a lot of news!"
"Oh? The court really wants to use troops against Ni Ri?" Regardless of whether it is true or false, everyone immediately became interested.
"That's what he said, but he also said that once the court sends troops on a large scale, the amount of 10,000 yuan will be spent on a daily basis, and the taxes and labor service will be raised... I heard that it will increase at least 30%!"
Everyone was stunned and then they were in an uproar.
"So much has risen? Will it make people live? It's so damn!"
"Who is the most nobles in the court, who is not richer than us ordinary people? Why don't you ask them for it?"
"It's really a meat eater. Why do we have to bear the military and military force of the court?"
"That's right! Can you send me a wife after taking Ni Ri? We can't get any benefits! What can Ni Ri be beaten?"
Everyone immediately scolded.
"Hey... this is just discussed by those big guys and may not be approved. My relative said that he should have just mentioned it. After all, the king is old and it is time for power to change. The court should not make any big moves in a short period of time..."
Li Qingyao hurriedly added and returned to her original seat.
"Look, this has changed." Li Qingyao said.
Jiang Gan's eyes twitched slightly: "But you are lying, they will always know that this is a lie!"
Li Qingyao whispered: "Yes, but this also shows a problem. In this world, the only certainty is uncertainty. Nothing will definitely not change, especially when it is related to one's own interests. People can easily change their position. All the people cannot believe them all. Can they believe the words of the people easily?"
Jiang Gan understood that Li Qingyao was teaching himself again, and nodded and received the teaching: "Well, I have written down..."
Li Qingyao nodded slightly, but heard Jiang Gan laugh and said, "From now on, I will believe in you."
Li Qingyao was slightly stunned and sighed softly: "You should not believe in anyone completely. Anyone may betray you, and anyone may deceive you."
"Including you?"
“Yes, including me.”
Jiang Gan smiled again, obviously not taking it in his heart, but just waved his hand with a smile: "Okay, okay... I understand, I'll write it down, this is OK!"
Li Qingyao frowned slightly: "This is not a joke, but a king..."
"Okay, OK, I understand!" Jiang Gan felt annoyed, but smiled, "By the way, this time I worship Emperor Wen, I want to recite the sacrificial text myself. So, can you write the sacrificial text?"
"…There are many talented and scholars in the court, why do you ask me to write?"
Jiang Gan looked at Li Qingyao solemnly, begging on his face, and even said to be coquettish: "After all, I read it myself, and I still missed it to me!"
