After Li Yan's well-founded metaphysical dream interpretation, his heart was relieved, and Lu Mou felt that he had become confident again and felt refreshed.

He stood up, stretched, and got rid of the depression in his body, and said to Li Yan: "Confucianism says that a gentleman does not create ghosts and gods randomly, and Buddhism says that appearance comes from the heart. It really doesn't trick us. I am obsessed with appearance. That’s why we have such nightmares.”

Li Yan smiled and said: "I think you are possessed." Then he stood up and poured a cup of tea for Lu Mou. He saw that there was no one else in the room, and his expression was dull, but he asked, "Morning?" The words that have been held in his heart for a long time: "With your efforts, you saved the Ming Dynasty and saved the world from crisis. If this world war you talk about achieves a decisive victory, your reputation will be as high as no one else can." And, the people worship and respect the ministers, and no one will dare to argue with your words. At this time, the emperor has become the Supreme Emperor in name, and the governing body is getting weaker and weaker, so you are no longer able to handle state affairs. Don’t you really have any ideas?”

Then Yixiao added a feeble explanation: "I am not a person who is greedy for power, and I have no idea of ​​​​following the dragon's merits. I am just asking. It is a question that a friend wants to know. Can you tell me what you really think?"

Friends talk about everything, and bad friends are even more connected: "Are you sure there are only two of us in this room? Are you sure even your wife is not here?"

Li Yan nodded: "I'm sure there are only you and me in this room. You can speak freely to me."

Lu Mou nodded solemnly, but suddenly raised his head: "But why should I tell you what I think?"

Such a rhetorical question made Li Yan choke up.

Lu Mou laughed easily: "Let me tell you, if a person doesn't covet that position and is not tempted, even a ghost would not believe it."

Li Yan nodded: "Who doesn't want to control the world by one person, who doesn't want to keep his word, and who doesn't want the world to operate according to his own ideas. This is understandable."

Lu Mou was stunned, because until now, he had not thought that far. He didn't know how to answer Li Yan, but actually how to answer himself.

"That's quite possible."

Xiao Lizi entered the room like a ghost and asked carefully: "My Lord, can we go back to Beijing?"

There was a crack, a bolt of lightning and thunder, which made the whole room seem to tremble, interrupting the conversation between the two people.

"And if you look at me again, how old am I this year? If I sit in that position at such a young age, although I no longer have the oppression of ministers, but I am surrounded by enemies, will my father also appear? The final twist of character like the emperor?"

Li Yan sighed regretfully for Chongzhen. This is really like knowing a father like a son.

After Li Yan thought about it for a while, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "This situation is the best now." Then the conversation suddenly changed: "But after you integrate the four weeks, you will be an adult by then, and you will do what you want to do now." What choice?”

Li Yan answered for him: "Looking at it now, it's better for you not to be in that position, but when you become an adult, your mind has matured——"

"So, I always remind myself to suppress the desires in my heart. Look how good it is now. The three emperors coexist, and the personalities of our father and son complement each other. And with the two emperors, I can use my military strength Isn't it good to be able to lead the troops and fight outside, just like now?"

"But, there are strengths and weaknesses, and no one in this world is perfect. My father is recognized as the most diligent emperor in the world, but it is a pity that he has good luck and bad luck. And when he was young, he died early After taking charge of the world, he had the idea of ​​being the only one above all others. As a result, he encountered a powerful Donglin Party group, and involuntarily started a battle between the monarchy and the ministers, making the monarchs and ministers as alienated as mortal enemies. It was in this kind of struggle that his character was completely distorted, he was overly aggressive and eager for quick success, and that was how Ming got to that point."

Lu Mou replied easily: "Of course I won't go back. Do you think running on the road in this heavy rain is a pleasant thing?" Then he thought about it for a while, but he was still frightened, and ordered: "After the rain, the sky will clear, and the flying pigeons will deliver the message." The Acting Factory Superintendent of the East Factory of the Capital asked him to come in person and report to me on the current situation of the Capital, especially the administration, without delay. "

Looking outside, thunder was rolling in the sky and heavy rain was pouring down.

"Yes."

Li Yan sighed slightly.

At this moment, a doorman came in and reported: "To the Prince Regent, someone has arrived from the capital." On this rainy day, someone suddenly arrived from Beijing, and they arrived late at night. Lu Mou, who had just relaxed, immediately lost his nerve again. stand up.

But don’t let your dreams come true.

"Quickly, call in quickly."

In the pouring rain, the person who got into the house was none other than Wang Chengen, Chongzhen's personal eunuch and the royal steward.

As soon as he appeared, Lu Mou's face turned pale again.

His whole body began to tremble uncontrollably again. Even though Li Yan put his hand on his shoulder, trying to give him some strength to stay calm, he couldn't.

Wang Chengen, who came in, closed his umbrella and complained with a smile: "I hurried slowly and hurriedly, but in the end I didn't arrive before the heavy rain, and ended up getting soaked. This is God punishing me for having fun on the road." Then he looked at the heavy rain outside: "However, this good rain is just in time for the summer grain filling. God bless the Ming Dynasty, and the summer grain harvest will be stable this year."

Just this simple sentence relieved Lu Mou's nerves a lot at that time.

"Before the heavy rain is about to start, why don't you take shelter somewhere temporarily? We are going from Tongzhou, Beijing to the front line, but there are military stations along the way, why can't we let you shelter?"

"This old slave is greedy, thinking that if I just hurry up and take two more steps, I will escape. Otherwise, who knows how long this rain will continue, and there will be so many things going on inside and outside the palace, which will delay the emperor." That would be a huge sin.”

Hearing this, Lu Mou felt relieved again and quickly ordered Xiao Lizi to serve hot tea and ginger soup.

After regaining his composure, Wang Chengen explained the purpose of his visit: "The queen is thinking about the prince, and the slave also misses the prince, so she came here to have a look."

"Did something happen to the capital?" Lu Mou asked anxiously.

"You have to say there is no, but there is. In fact, it will be posted on the arrival report. Let me tell you something first. The ruler is worried about the war on the front line, and I am afraid that there is a shortage of food on the front line. Therefore, I ask the emperor to come out, and the ruler Qingqi Jian pays a private visit incognito. In the end Let’s actually see how the summer grain harvest is, and see how the autumn grain farming is, so that we can have a clear understanding of the situation, so that the regent can command the battle with peace of mind on the front line.”

After saying this, Lu Mou was completely relieved.

I really had a dream that almost scared me to death.

Li Yan smiled and said: "Just now, the regent was preparing to return to Beijing in the rain."

Wang Chengen wondered: "Why is the regent so anxious to return to Beijing?"

Lu Mou smiled easily: "It's nothing, I miss home and want to go back to see my parents, brothers and sisters."

Li Yan asked again: "Are you still going back to Beijing now?"

"Eunuch Wang has brought news that my father, mother, brother, and younger brother are all well, so there is no need for me to go back. Besides, my brother is not here in Beijing, and my father is actually an honorary supporter. At this time, if I return to Beijing, there will be ulterior motives. People guess, it’s better to cause less trouble.”

Li Yan and Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief without being noticed.

Wang Chengen reported some more things and conveyed the words of comfort from Chongzhen and the Queen, and Lu Mou's nightmare was over. Everything is back to normal. (End of chapter)
