Youzhou City.

Li Xingyun and others walked along the way, feeling the prosperity of Youzhou City. Looking at this scene of peace and prosperity, the people were rich, happy and healthy, and many of them smiled.

Several people couldn't help but sigh.

It is hard to imagine that in today's ever-changing turmoil, we can still see such a scene. Unlike people elsewhere, the eyes of these people are full of longing for future life and are more energetic and vigorous.

"With such talent in governing the world, perhaps, he is the true Lord of the Dragon of Destiny!" Li Xingyun lowered his head in thought.

Afterwards, he bought a candied haws from a vendor nearby, put it in his mouth, and felt the sour and sweet taste. The candied haws in Youzhou contain more sugar than those in other places, and are more delicious, but the price remains the same.

A glimpse of the details can reveal the whole picture.

Sometimes, just by looking at one thing, you can know the local customs and life. After all, in the Tang Dynasty, the price of sugar was not cheap.

When Li Xingyun and others arrived at the Prince of Qin's Mansion, they were shocked by its scale at first. Then a man who looked like a strategist or aide came to receive them.

However, this person's dark blue hair and squinty eyes easily make people think of a fox.

"Please wait for a moment. My prince will go to the reclamation department in an hour. I have sent people to look for him. He should be back in a while."

Afterwards, Zhuge Qing retreated, but after he left, his eyes, which had been narrowed, suddenly opened, and it was unknown what he was thinking in his mind.

Knowing the person, observing his appearance, understanding his affairs, and knowing his heart, it is obvious that Li Xingyun has fallen into Zhuge Qing's future plan.

Sure enough, as Zhuge Qing said, Meng Fan returned after a while.

After seeing Li Xingyun, he didn't say much, but directly took out a square piece of iron and placed it in front of him.

"This is?"

"The black iron you've always wanted!"

Meng Fan spoke.

Li Xingyun was suddenly shocked when he heard this.

Seeing this, Meng Fan smiled and said, "Yuan Tiangang has always been very thorough in his actions, but people's minds are hard to predict, and the laws of nature are a trick on people. This time, he miscalculated."

"According to Yuan Tiangang's original plan, the Longquan Sword did not encounter such a disaster. Next, you should go directly to Qianling Mausoleum to look for the Longquan treasure."

Meng Fan was calm and composed, and did not expose the embarrassment of Yuan Tiangang's plan at all.

Li Xingyun stood up in surprise, exchanged glances with Zhang Zifan, and then asked, "From your tone, it seems that you are quite familiar with this Longquan treasure?"

Meng Fan said bluntly: "I can tell you that the so-called Longquan treasure is real. It does contain enough wealth to restore the country. It can also be said to be a ray of hope for the Tang Dynasty."

"However, this glimmer of hope also depends on who can use it to turn the tide and revive the Tang Dynasty's dead end."

"Yuan Tiangang's original plan was actually very good. Because the Tang Dynasty was in a state of crisis, he chose to allow Zhu Wen to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, and to start all over again, in order to give the Tang Dynasty a glimmer of hope."

"The plum tree was dead, its roots rotted, and only the hollow wood remained. No matter how wise and wise a monarch was, he could not bring the decadent Tang Dynasty back to life in his lifetime."

"So, Yuan Tiangang simply cut off the old branch that sprouted from this plum tree and grafted it onto another plum tree. This plum tree will use the original plum tree as its nourishment and gradually grow up under the guidance of this old branch." "Li Xingyun, I let you wander among the people so that you can experience the suffering of the people, but Yuan Tiangang didn't expect that you would have such an ambition to live a carefree life."

"In his imagination, you should have been a successor emperor like Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He even made many plans for you just to promote your growth."

"Suffering and tempering are nutrients for this young old branch. On the one hand, they can arouse your desire to dominate, and on the other hand, they can also train your way of dealing with things."

Meng Fan looked at Li Xingyun deeply and said, "Li Xingyun, Yuan Tiangang is so devoted to you. He is a minister who has worked hard to support the country. Even I am jealous. Why don't I have such a loyal minister around me?"

Hearing Meng Fan's remarks, Li Xingyun couldn't help but cough awkwardly and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I don't want this kind of training."

Meng Fan felt sorry for his lack of ambition, then stood up, looked at the huge Qin Palace, and said, "Compared to you, a descendant of the legitimate family, I, a bastard, can only rely on myself to build something from scratch."

"I understand your idea of ​​living a carefree life, although I don't agree with it. After all, since you have the blood of Li Tang, you have to take responsibility for the world."

"The Son of Heaven is the father of all the people in the world, and he is also the heir of all the people in the world. Since he is supported by the people in the world, he has the responsibility to protect the people."

"My Li family has been supported by the people of the world for three hundred years, but how many days have they really enjoyed peace and prosperity?"

"The Zhenguan Reign or the Kaiyuan Prosperity?"

"Let's not talk about the Turkic southward movement after the Xuanwu Gate Incident. There was the Wu Zhou overthrow of the Tang Dynasty, the Shenlong coup, the Jinglong coup, the Tanglong coup, the Xiantian Rebellion, the Anshi Rebellion, the Yongzhen Internal Abdication, the Ganlu Rebellion... and finally the Huang Chao Rebellion."

"He was surrounded by many people, and was given a bushel of gold and a bushel of chestnuts. He was still allowed to eat wood veneer in the kitchen, while Huang Chao butchered human flesh on the loom."

"The prosperity of the past has all been buried, and there is nothing left to see. The inner storehouses have been burned to ashes, and the streets are full of the bones of the nobles."

"Ah!"

"In the final analysis, it is my Li family that owes the world."

"You have enjoyed wealth and prosperity for three hundred years, and now, you, a descendant of the Li family, want to leave. Do you think the people of the world agree?"

As Meng Fan spoke word by word, Li Xingyun's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. After all, Li Xingyun had never thought about these things carefully.

In other words, he was unwilling to think about it from this perspective. He himself had wandered among the people, but he had never deeply realized that the displacement of these people was caused by his Li family.

Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer.

It is said that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, but in reality, it is always the common people who suffer, and the common people do not ask for much, just a full meal is enough.

I'd rather be a peaceful dog, and don't leave people alone.

Human life is as worthless as grass. The common people have always been slaughtered by the rulers and their ministers. Their heads are cut off by knives, and all that is taken away is the blood and sweat of the people.

Even though Li Xingyun had never done anything, he was still responsible for his father's debts. Since he had Li family blood, he could not escape the responsibility.

Why was it that so many dynasties collapsed and so many royal descendants died with the collapse of the dynasties, but Li Xingyun was able to escape?

When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer. In fact, Li Xingyun's fate has long been tied to the fate of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Xingyun has been trying every means to escape this fate.
