Meng Fan's words fell.

Li Xingyun's face suddenly changed. He looked at Shangguan Yunque and Wen Tao angrily and asked, "Is what he said true?"

Wen Tao and Shangguan Yunque looked at each other and were speechless.

In fact, Shangguan Yunque only knew one or two of them. Wen Tao, who understood Feng Shui, was able to guess what the Bad Commander was planning.

Wen Tao hesitated for a long time before he bowed and stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, how the Marshal acts is not for us to comment. Brother Shangguan and I are just following orders."

"I hope...Your Highness will understand!"

"Consideration?!"

"Hahahaha!"

Li Xingyun laughed at himself: "I understand you, but who can understand me? I am being played around like a monkey in Yuan Tiangang's hands, like a puppet!"

"Does Yuan Tiangang really think that I dare not overturn his chessboard?"

Looking at Li Xingyun's eyes, he was about to burst into tears.

Unexpectedly, Meng Fan interrupted and said, "Li Xingyun, I'm afraid you don't have the confidence right now. Don't forget that the life and death of Ji Ruxue, who you care about most, is still up to Yuan Tiangang!"

After he finished speaking, it was Li Xingyun's turn to feel embarrassed.

Li Xingyun's momentum suddenly collapsed, and he looked at Meng Fan and said, "I'm saying something harsh, please don't ruin my show, okay?"

"If you want to overturn the chessboard, you must have the strength. Li Xingyun, do you have the qualifications?"

"You are nothing more than a chess piece now!"

"The world is full of turmoil and wars. The world is like a chess game and people are like chess pieces. Those who can transform from chess pieces to chess players all have their own confidence."

"A strong leader like Buliang can conquer the whole world by himself. Even weaker ones like the other vassal states in the south can hold military power and defend one side."

"But what about you?"

"Besides this Li Tang bloodline, what else do you have?"

"Overturned the chess game? Ha!"

Meng Fan laughed sarcastically: "I'm afraid it's just a matter of going from being a chess piece of one player to being a chess piece of another player!"

Li Xingyun couldn't help but frown when he heard this, but he said: "Those who take from the people are safe, and those who gather wealth perish. What's the use of having unrivaled martial arts?"

“How many people are there who are unwilling to accept the result?”

"He who knows how to be strong does not seek to be strong!"

"Administer equal taxes, govern the people according to the law, open up the fields, fill the granaries, and prepare for use. All things in the world, without virtue, no honor, without ability, no office, without merit, no reward!"

"Obey the will of heaven, let dynasties succeed one another, carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, reform the old and establish the new, and wait for a new ruler to come out and teach the world the way of the king, then the world will prosper!"

"Instead of just clinging to the old Tang Dynasty skin and changing the soup but not the substance!"

"Otherwise it will just be a repeat of the past!"

"Yuan Tiangang is blindly using his own strength to force the continuation of the Tang Dynasty. This is against the will of heaven and the principle of dynasty rotation. I see through this, so I am unwilling to obey Yuan Tiangang's words and become the emperor!"

"Even if I succeed, it will only bring another hundred years of chaos to the world. It is better to start all over again and live in a peaceful and prosperous world!"

Hearing Li Xingyun's explanation, Meng Fan's eyes lit up.

Li Xingyun still understood some concepts. He knew that he could not suppress the ambitious people in the world, and he was powerless in this chaotic world, so he gave up completely.

Follow the trend of history!

In a way, it is indeed in line with the truth of heaven!

Meng Fan sighed: "Li Xingyun, it seems that you still understand some of the concepts of kingly governance!" Li Xingyun shook his head: "It's just a superficial view. As you said, the world is like a chess game, and people are chess pieces. But I didn't want to appear on this chessboard from the beginning."

"Throughout the dynasties, the descendants of the royal family have all been scattered with the fall of the dynasty. It is not easy for me to escape with my life."

"The collapse of the Tang Dynasty is a result of deep-rooted problems that are difficult to cure. It is not something that can be cured by a single ruler. Rather than letting the people of the world suffer for decades more, I will become the emperor."

"It is better to change the world and start all over again. As the saying goes, a short pain is worse than a long one. Only then can we have the opportunity to truly prosper."

Meng Fan smiled and said, "So, you are placing your hopes on the ruler of the future, believing that he will bring peace and prosperity to the world?"

"That's right. The one who can conquer the world, rule the world, and put an end to the poisonous legacy of the Tang Dynasty, I believe he has that ability." Li Xingyun said firmly.

"Hahahaha!"

"Li Xingyun, Li Xingyun!"

"Should I still laugh at your naivety, or should I say that you see things clearly?"

Meng Fan smiled up at the sky, and then slowly said: "You are betting the world on the future, and I would say that this world of chaos will continue for at least another sixty years!"

"You are not Yuan Tiangang. He sees things much more clearly than you do!"

"Do you know more about the so-called heavenly secrets than Yuan Tiangang and I?"

"I tell you!"

"I'm not afraid of revealing any secrets!"

"From the time Zhu Wen abolished the Tang Dynasty and established the Later Liang Dynasty, to the time the person you expect to see appears, at least one Earthly Evil Number must pass in between."

"Seventy-two years!"

"In these 72 years, no one has been able to unify the world, and the common people have had to suffer through decades of chaos and war!"

Meng Fan and Li Xingyun passed by each other at this time, and said meaningfully: "Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng calculated the number of turmoil, so they chose you at the same time!"

"I chose you three hundred years ago!"

"Firstly, Yuan Tiangang hopes to continue the Tang Dynasty!"

"Secondly, we hope to end this chaotic world as soon as possible and restore the world to a peaceful and prosperous era. You, Li Xingyun, are not the only one who cares about the world!"

"It's just that he sees deeper than you, Li Xingyun, and his vision is farther than yours!"

"In his imagination, with his assistance, you could have become a ruler who remade the world like Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, sweeping away the ills of the previous dynasty and continuing the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. What a pity!"

"Li Xingyun!"

"You are a piece of crap that can't be helped!"

"What are you talking about? If it weren't for Yuan Tiangang's suppression, you would soon know what real chaos is!"

"When he has made several plans and you are still unable to grow up, I believe he will even risk his life to start the game for you!"

"Be buried with the past Tang Dynasty and serve as the foundation for the new Tang Dynasty!"

"Help you and walk towards that position step by step!"

"Ah~"

Meng Fan sighed, turned around and looked at Li Xingyun, whose expression was changing constantly, and sighed again: "History is like a rolling river, with vast smoke and waves. All he Yuan Tiangang can do is turn into a crashing wave. He would rather be shattered to pieces than to send you, the descendant of the Li family, into the Dragon Gate!"

"I just hope you can leap over the dragon gate and be reborn as a dragon!"

"What a pity! Some people only want to stay in this muddy river all day, blending in with the crowd, and are unwilling to take another look at the scenery in the sky!"
