Chapter 574
Li Chenan's words completely overturned the cognition of Mei Fangxi and Zhong Liyou.

As a great Confucian in Ningguo, Mei Fangxi has of course read many books and has extremely high talent.

But in his bones, he still upholds the thought of the three cardinal guides and five constant principles.

Of course he thinks more, for example, he believes that the people are the foundation of the country, and that the king should treat his people well.

In his cognition, the people are still attached to the existence of the king, and the people are the servants of the king.

When he asked Li Chenan this question, he wanted to know what measures Li Chenan would treat the people if he ascended the throne as emperor.

He never expected that Li Chen'an's words would be so radical... If Li Chen'an was not the regent of Ning Kingdom, he would even think that Li Chen'an was intending to rebel!
Because in Li Chenan's words, the people have already become the masters of the country!

The country is the kingdom of kings!

How can the people be compared with the king?
But after thinking about it carefully, although he couldn't accept it completely, he didn't say anything to refute it.

He found it impossible to refute.

Because of the history of thousands of years, it is because of the corruption and tyranny of the imperial court that the people are in dire straits, and finally the ending of a change of dynasty.

This is water can capsize a boat.

This is the power of the people!
Since this is the case in the end, if the people of Ningguo are upright people from the beginning, they are those who dare to resist injustice, they are the people who supervise the court, and they exercise the power of the master of the country, will the court be restrained because of this?
When the operation of the entire imperial court is under the supervision of the people, it is like exposing all the darkness to the sun.

When power is checked and balanced, there is no absolute right.

The words and deeds of officials are within the eyes of the people, and if the officials' actions are inappropriate, they will be opposed by the people. In this way, corruption may be reduced to the greatest extent.

But it is easy to say, but it is difficult to implement it.

Because this completely subverts the sacred doctrine and completely denies the greatest authority of imperial power.

This will inevitably be fully opposed by those with vested interests.

What stood in front of Li Chenan was not any thorns and bumps, but a huge mountain!
No wonder Hua Manting insisted that Li Chen'an must be the emperor!

Besides him, who can really change his life?
Who else knows how to establish such an unprecedented new order except him!
Mei Fangxi did not ask Li Chenan how to do it.

Instead, he chatted with Li Chenan about the past.

After drinking a pot of tea, he asked Li Chenan to write a poem with the theme of spring.

It was only when he saw Li Chenan writing the pen without hesitation... that he knew that this boy's name as a Poet Immortal really lived up to his reputation!
In the world, no one is invincible!
Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, he wrote sixteen poems in a row, and there was absolutely no falsehood!

It's just that this kid's handwriting is really ugly.

But I can't stand the exquisiteness of this poem!
Mei Fangxi took this piece of paper as if she had found a treasure, and left contentedly.

At this moment, Zhong Liyou looked at Li Chen'an with great concern, and asked in a low voice:
"These, are you really thinking?"

Li Chenan nodded, but shook his head again.

"I don't know if I can achieve it..."

He looked at the red sun in the blue sky, pondered for a moment, and said: "Uncle, there is no need to worry. What I want right now is to cure Ruo Shui's disease."

"As for the others...it's hard to change a person's mind, let alone change the minds of countless people in an entire country."

"If a person who has been kneeling for a long time wants to get him to stand up, he will think that you are harming him."

"Let's let everyone have enough food and clothing first."

"This is what the Ningguo court urgently needs to do. Only after they have no worries about food and clothing, they may raise their heads and look further afield."

……

……

In the next two days, Li Chenan really didn't leave Zhongliyuan again.

In the past two days, Xia Hua still wore the white dress and the white face scarf, and went to many places in Chongqing Mansion with her second senior brother Lin Zifeng.

He never ran into Li Chenan again.

The girl felt a little lost in her heart.

It was dusk when she went out alone that day.

She walked on a stroll and came to the archway of Wenweng Academy.

She thought of the kind old man she met here a few days ago.

The old man drank two glasses of wine last time... So she went to buy a jar of Huapingchun, walked into Wenweng Academy again, and came to the courtyard behind the academy.

There was still an old man sitting in the pavilion.

But not the one I met last time.

Xia Hua thought for a while, carried the wine jar into the gazebo, and put the wine on the table.

Mei Fangxi was startled, and the corner of Xia Hua's mouth twitched: "Old man, last time that old man...is he here?"

"...Who is the girl talking about?"

"I don't know the name. The little girl came here unintentionally two days ago and happened to meet the old man. He invited me to drink two glasses of wine."

Mei Fangxi stroked his long beard, "Oh, he has left Chongqing Mansion."

Xia Hua was slightly disappointed, so she heard Mei Fangxi say another sentence: "Since the girl is here, why don't you treat me to a couple of glasses of wine?"

"it is good!"

Mei Fangxi brought two wine bowls.

Xia Hua patted open the mud seal of the wine jar, poured two bowls of wine, and handed over a bowl respectfully, "Please!"

"Thank you!"

Just when Xia Hua handed over the wine, she noticed that there were two pieces of paper in front of the old man.

She took a closer look and saw the same poem written on the two pieces of paper!

It's just that the handwriting on one piece of paper is very scribbled, while the running script on the other piece of paper is extremely beautiful.

When her eyes fell on the paper, it was hard to move away immediately.

She simply stood up, came to Mei Fangxi's side, stretched her neck, took a breath after reading the poem, and then asked in amazement: "Good word!"

"Old man, what did you do?"

Mei Fangxi shook her head and smiled proudly: "I don't have such skills."

Xia Hua returned to her seat, her beautiful eyes widened: "Can you tell the little girl who made this word?"

"Such beautiful words are of course our Ningguo's poet fairy!"

Xia Hua was startled suddenly, pondered for three breaths, and then happily said three words: "Li Chen'an?"

"Of course, apart from him, who can write such tender words!"

Xia Hua was full of joy, leaned over, and asked curiously:
"... When did he write it?"

"Two days ago... Isn't this Wenweng Academy going to hold a spring outing literary meeting tomorrow?"

"The old man thinks that since the regent is in the Chongqing mansion, and since he is the poet of our Ning country, if he can participate in this spring festival, he will be able to inspire the students in the academy."

"However, he was attacked at Shuijingtai three days ago. The murderer has not yet been caught. It would be dangerous for the regent to go there, so the old man asked him to compose this poem."

"Oh……"

Xia Hua picked up the wine bowl, turned her beautiful eyes, "Old man, I respect you a bowl!"

After drinking a bowl of wine, Xia Hua's face turned slightly red, but she couldn't see it covered by the face towel.

She didn't stay here any longer, she memorized the poem, exchanged a few words with Mei Fangxi and then left.

The sunset is just right.

Xia Hua was in a great mood as she stepped on the setting sun.

Mei Fangxi turned her head to look at Xia Hua's back when she left, grinned and shook her head.

I don't know who the girl is, that heart is probably hanging on that kid Li Chenan again.

He picked up the scrawled piece of paper again, and the more he looked at it, the happier he was.

On the contrary, I feel that this word is more flavorful when paired with this word.

After thinking for a while, he took a piece of paper and laid it out, picked up a pen, and wrote down what Li Chenan said that day.

After thinking about it, I gave these remarks a name——

"On the Five Characters of the People"!
