Chapter 91 The Good Man and the Good Emperor

Lin Te, Ding Wei, Wang Qinruo and others called the Five Ghosts, among which Ding Wei and Wang Qin are the most famous, but Lin Te is also not bad. Historical books say that he is "absolute in nature and is good at supporting the association." When Wang Qinruo was in power, he depended on Wang Qinruo. Now Ding Wei is in power, he naturally depends on Ding Wei. Li Di has always looked down on Ding Wei. The two are as powerful as water and fire in the court. Lin Te is Ding Wei's man, so Li Di naturally has no good face to him.

"Cousin, Lin Yishan is actually a very kind person. Why do you have a conflict with him?" At this moment, Zhao Zhen suddenly said unhappily. Li Zhang and Lin Te are both people he is very close to, so naturally I hope they can live in peace, but now this hope has failed.

"Cousin, you are still young and don't know the sinisterness of people's hearts yet. But you have to remember that you can't just look at the surface, especially you can't think that a person is a good person just because he is good to you!" Li Zhang said solemnly at this time. This is also the first lesson he taught for Zhao Zhen.

"Then cousin, are you a good person or a bad person?" Zhao Zhen suddenly asked back with some trickyness.

"Haha, I'm not a good person, but I'm not a bad person. If I have to make a choice, then I'll choose to be a bad person." Li Zhang laughed when he heard Zhao Zhen's words.

"Why?" Zhao Zhen asked again in confusion.

"Because it's too tiring to be a good person!" Li Zhang said a little melancholy at this time. Of course, he would not tell Zhao Zhen that he had been sent too many good person cards in his previous life, which made him feel psychologically shady. So whoever dared to say that he was a good person would be anxious with him later.

"Is it really tiring to be a good person?" Zhao Zhen whispered at this time, not understanding. At his age, he could not understand the deeper meaning of Li Zhang's words.

"Of course I'm very tired, and you won't be a good person in the future!" Li Zhang suddenly smiled.

"Why can't I be a good person?" Zhao Zhen asked back unhappily when he heard Li Zhang's words. He thought he was pretty good. The ministers in the court praised him as the prince's kind-hearted and no one ever said he was bad.

"Because you want to be a good emperor, you can't be a good person, such as Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, etc. Which of them is a good person?" Li Zhang asked back with a smile.

Zhao Zhen in history was actually a good man. In order not to convict the eunuchs around him, he would rather eat the rice with sand than go hungry at night than increase the expenses in the palace. He could be generous and tolerant of the offenses of his ministers. Therefore, when he died, he added a temple name of Renzong, and even the Northern Liao and Xixia were very sad about his death.

However, in Li Zhang's opinion, as the emperor, Zhao Zhen could not just think about being a good person. Although he did a good job as the emperor, he could only be called a good person. In fact, he could do better. For example, it was when he was in power that the Western Xia rose, and the Liao Kingdom was in a chaotic period at that time, but the Song Dynasty failed to seize the opportunity to recover Yan Yun, which also laid the root of disaster for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty in the future.

"This..." Zhao Zhen was stunned again when he heard Li Zhang's words. Although he was young, he was familiar with history books. Naturally, he knew the deeds of Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang. Both of them were the most famous heroes in history, but they were definitely not good people. After all, people who even dared to kill their sons were really not convincing to say that they were good people.

"Then can I become a good emperor and a good person?" Zhao Zhen was stunned for a while, and finally asked again with some reluctance.

"There is no good thing in this world. There is always a gain and a loss. For example, as the prince, you have been frugal since childhood, but you have lost the freedom and happiness of ordinary children." Li Zhang also said with emotion at this time. He had just arrived for a day and felt very boring. I really don't know why Zhao Zhen persisted for so many years?

Zhao Zhen was silent for a long time at this time, and finally said in a heavy tone: "Good man? Good emperor? If there is no choice, I am afraid that everyone in the world hopes that I can be a good emperor."

"It's better if you don't do good people, but I don't plan to be good people anyway. Then we two are bad people together. It's better to destroy Beiliao. Khitan men are slaves and women are prostitutes. You can also taste the taste of being a heroic ruler in the generation!" Li Zhang patted Zhao Zhen's shoulder and comforted him.

"Ah? Bei Liao and we are brotherly countries, how can we attack easily?" Zhao Zhen was shocked by Li Zhang's words again and said.

"A country of no brothers, which brother did you see who asks for money from his brothers every year? And they killed us Song people a lot when they were fighting Grass Valley. These are your subjects. Don't you want to avenge them?" Li Zhang said disdainfully again at this time. The covenant was used to tear it down. No one in the Liao and Song dynasties can destroy each other, so the current situation is maintained. But if there is a great increase in strength, it will definitely break the current balance.

"I...I..." Zhao Zhen was hesitant and couldn't say it. Although he felt that what Li Zhang said was very reasonable, it was contrary to the education he had received over the years, so he didn't know how to choose for a while.

"Oh, you are still young now, it's really a bit too difficult for you to consider these issues." Li Zhang also knew that he had said a little too much today, and Zhao Zhen couldn't accept it for a while, so when he said this, he took out the Rubik's Cube that Zhao Zhen gave him from his arms and smiled, "Don't you want to learn Rubik's Cube? I'll teach you!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Zhen was a child after all. When he heard that Li Zhang wanted to teach him the Rubik's Cube, he immediately lost his troubles.

The Rubik's Cube is known as a miracle in the intellectual game world. This thing looks complicated and is even more complicated to play. If someone who doesn't know the skills may not be able to play well in his life, so Zhao Zhen has studied it for several months without any progress. But now, under the guidance of Li Zhang, he has quickly mastered the trick, but it still takes a long time to practice.

However, just as Zhao Zhen was playing with the Rubik's Cube excitedly, Lin Te came here again. This time he was here to teach. Zhao Zhen hurriedly hid the Rubik's Cube in his sleeve. Lin Te did not dare to cause trouble for Li Zhang again this time, but he ignored Li Zhang. Li Zhang was happy and sat there looking through the thousand-character text memorized.

The afternoon class time was relatively short, and it ended in about an hour. Then Linte packed up his things and left. It was probably scolded by Li Di, and he didn't dare to stay here for too long. However, when he left, he glared at Li Zhang fiercely. Li Zhang naturally rolled his eyes back without showing weakness.

In fact, Li Zhang could also see that Linte is famous for taking advantage of opportunities. He may have seen that Zhao Heng was not long ago, so he wanted to develop a good relationship with Zhao Zhen, the prince, and might even want to use his feelings to manipulate Zhao Zhen. In fact, he is about to succeed. Zhao Zhen has a very good impression of him, but Li Zhang suddenly came out, and compared with Linte, Li Zhang had too many advantages. Not only Zhao Zhen's cousin, but the two were also about the same age, which made Cai Linte feel threatened.

"Cousin, it's still early, tell me a few more jokes!" At this time, Zhao Zhen grabbed Li Zhang's sleeve and said, as if he was afraid that Li Zhang would go back now.

"It's not funny if you hear too many jokes. Let's do something else." Li Zhang refused to tell it at this time. After all, no matter how many jokes there are in his mind, there will always be a day when he finishes it. And he feels a little tired after studying this day, so he should do something else to relax.

"What should I do?" Zhao Zhen asked without any idea. He was used to it alone, but now he suddenly had Li Zhang, a playmate, and he didn't know what to play for a while?

"Is there any fun place in the palace?" Li Zhang asked again at this time. The last time he came to the palace, he only went to the Chuigong Hall. Since he had time this time, he also wanted to take a walk in the palace.

"Yes, Imperial Garden can fish. If we can get rid of the eunuch, we might be able to climb a tree to dig bird eggs." Zhao Zhen suddenly became excited at this time. When talking about digging bird eggs, his eyes shone brightly, as if in his opinion this was the most fun thing.

When Li Zhang heard this, he was helpless and covered his forehead. He felt that Zhao Zhen was so pitiful. It seemed very ordinary to other children, but it was a luxury for him. However, climbing a tree was a bit dangerous. If Zhao Zhen was really thrown, he would not be able to bear this responsibility.

"This is it, I'll teach you a game!" Li Zhang said at this time, picking up a piece of paper from the table. After a while, he folded it into a plane. Then he pushed it gently, and the paper plane flew out and landed on the ground.

"It's fun!" Zhao Zhen immediately jumped up and picked up the plane when he saw this, and threw it around in the house. Li Zhang ignored him and continued to pick up the paper and folded some things, such as frogs, paper cranes, boats, etc. He liked origami when he was a child, and these small things were also available at will.

"Cousin, you are so amazing. How do you think of these things?" Zhao Zhen looked at the exquisite origami of Li Zhang's men, and said in an admiration.

"These are nothing at all. I'm not prepared to come today. I'll bring you some fun things when I come tomorrow!" Li Zhang smiled calmly at this time. This is the place to learn, and there is nothing else except paper, pen and books, otherwise he could teach Zhao Zhen to play more games.

"Really? That's great. Cousin, don't forget what you said today. You must bring me some fun tomorrow!" Zhao Zhen also showed an ecstatic expression when he heard Li Zhang's words, and even wished that time would pass quickly.
