"It seems that I really misunderstood Xiao Wu." Xiao Lingpu sighed in Prince An's palace.

He rushed to the front in the fight to seize the line, but ended up being crippled. But Xiao Lingyan became the final winner.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Lingyan was once paralyzed and had not been cured for so long, his psychology would definitely be distorted. He felt that Xiao Lingyan was controlling everything behind the scenes, and he was like a fool rushing to the front to protect Xiao Lingyan.

Some time ago, as Xiao Lingyan recovered from his illness and became the future prince recognized by the entire Jin Dynasty, this idea popped up in his mind unconsciously and he couldn't get rid of it.

But for Zhao Ruxi, Xiao Lingyan would rather not be a prince than take a concubine. This kind of indifference to fame and fortune, and not paying attention to what they were fighting for, completely dispelled Xiao Lingpu's suspicion.

His younger brother never thought about grabbing the throne from beginning to end. He has always been so simple and kind.

Xiao Lingpu's disciples Lu Fei and Liu Tingrun were also speechless.

Could it be said that Xiao Lingyan wanted to retreat in order to advance?

Given the current situation in the Jin Dynasty, does Xiao Lingyan still need to play these tricks? Is it necessary to play this trick and push away powerful figures like the Minister of War who took the initiative to get involved?

"Your Majesty, why don't you advise His Highness Prince Qi?" Lu Fei said, "Tell him not to give up the throne to a woman and let the sixth prince take advantage. You almost risked your life for the throne, and so did Prince Qi. .In his eyes, is the weight of the throne really so light?"

"Yes, yes," Liu Tingrun said.

He understood what Lu Fei meant. In this way, he could give Xiao Lingyan's idea a try.

If Xiao Lingyan is really not interested in the throne, it will be a good opportunity for their prince; if Xiao Lingyan is interested, it can also arouse the prince's fighting spirit. Instead of being completely fooled by King Qi like now.

Xiao Lingpu nodded slowly: "Okay."

That day he went to Prince Qi's Mansion and told Xiao Lingyan what Lu Fei said.

"Brother, do you really think it's good to be the emperor?" Xiao Lingyan looked at him as if he were a fool.

Then he counted the numbers for Xiao Ling with his fingers: "First of all, the emperor seems to be the most noble person in the world. What's the result? For the sake of his children, he has to serve all kinds of women like a stallion every day. To put it bluntly, we It’s no different from the women in the brothels.”

Xiao Lingpu: "..."

This sounds really unpleasant to say at first, but when you think about it carefully, it is indeed the same thing.

"Secondly, as an emperor, you have to get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog every day. You have to worry about floods in the east, and you have to worry about droughts in the west. You have to worry about the common people not having enough to eat, and you have to worry about the aristocratic families and the extortionate taxation."

"After all, we have to prevent the ministers from forming cliques for personal gain and colluding internally and externally. Not to mention the ministers, even our own wives and biological sons have to be on guard at all times. Think about the prince, do the three emperors always want to take the life of their father?"

"I don't dare to eat, and those who like to eat don't dare to take more than one bite for fear of being poisoned by others knowing my preference; I don't sleep well, and I have to change places every night to prevent others from assassinating me. And the palace, the entire A prison. In order not to be assassinated, I have been trapped there my whole life. I can’t even think of a palace.”

"Tell me, what's the point of such a life?"

Looking at Xiao Lingpu's dumbfounded look, Xiao Lingyan continued: "But being a leisure king is different. You can eat and wear everything well, go wherever you want, and sleep as long as you want. Like. Now, I can have a concubine; if I don’t like it, I can live a quiet life with my wife. It all depends on my heart as to how I live my life. Such a life is a truly happy life."

"Is this like this?" Xiao Lingpu's outlook was completely refreshed.

When he was born, the entire Cen family and Concubine Cen had high hopes for him. He was educated since he was a child to become the best prince, then win the throne and become the emperor. He lived for more than 20 years, and he has been working hard to ascend the throne.

Fight for the throne.

So when he became disabled, he was confused, painful, and unwilling. He was completely unable to adapt to this peaceful and ordinary life.

Now that Xiao Lingyan said this, the faith that the Cen family and Concubine Cen had given him began to shake.

"Isn't it? Actually, brother, let me tell you, the Cen family pushed you forward and tried their best to make you the emperor, not for you, but for them. You became the emperor, and the hard part is

It’s them you who enjoy it. Think about it, think about it carefully, is this true?”

Seeing Xiao Lingpu leaving Prince Qi's Mansion in a daze, Xiao Lingyan smiled slightly and returned to the backyard.

"Pfft, won't your conscience hurt if you deceive your second brother like this?" Zhao Ruxi laughed at him.

Xiao Lingyan shook his head and sighed with emotion: "Sometimes I really feel that these imperial brothers are pitiful people. They have been fighting for their whole lives, and even paid their lives for it, but in the end, it is just because of one of their mother's clan.

private."

Zhao Ruxi looked at him sideways: "Aren't you doing the stupid thing you said right now?"

"So Xiaoxi, I regret it. Really. I really don't want to do this. It's boring."

Xiao Lingyan thought that if Xiao Ge suddenly collapsed and his son hadn't grown up yet, wouldn't he be struggling in pain every day?

Life is short. He finally traveled to ancient times and saved a life. If he doesn't enjoy life, will he have to work hard all his life?

"Do you really think so?" Zhao Ruxi asked.

"Really." Xiao Lingyan looked at Zhao Ruxi pitifully, "You know me, we are all the same kind of people."

"If you really are not greedy for power, then you might as well establish a constitutional monarchy." Zhao Ruxi said.

Seeing Xiao Lingyan's eyes widening, Zhao Ruxi glared back at him: "What? Can't bear to leave?"

"How could you be reluctant to let go? What I want to say is, my wife, you are so smart." Xiao Lingyan said, "I didn't even expect this."

After thinking for a while, he said: "But the resistance is quite big, isn't it? It's not that I want to give up the throne, it will succeed."

"It's nothing more than profit. Let's start the industrial revolution first. When a group of capital rises to compete with the aristocratic families, we can definitely take this matter forward." Zhao Ruxi said.

Neither she nor Xiao Lingyan were engaged in politics, so they really didn't expect this at first. Then she suddenly remembered, and then read a lot of information on this through the system, and found that it was totally fine for Jin Dynasty to change to a constitutional monarchy.

If there are no conditions, then create conditions. Anyway, Xiao Ge is still healthy, and she and Xiao Lingyan can have more than ten years to lay the groundwork.

"What kind of information can you see, check more, and what needs to be done, just tell me. I'm telling you, wife, whether we can sit and drink tea and enjoy life in the future, or whether we will be as tired as old scalpers, then let's see

It’s yours.”

"Then let's have a talk with the emperor in a while and start developing steam power." Zhao Ruxi said.
