Stunning beauty

The sun rises eastward.

The morning light sprinkled the earth, dispelling the chill of darkness.

The imperial palace, the Xuanwu gate is wide open, and the forbidden army comes and goes. On a new day, each performs his duties.

Shou'an Hall, the servants gathered outside the hall, all were kicked out.

A maid of honor and a young eunuch stood there, looking at each other from time to time, with a look of nervousness on their faces.

The news in the palace has always been spread quickly. Moreover, those who can work in the palace and live to this day are not human beings. Everyone knows that it is definitely not a good thing for the Emperor Shang to call the Li family's son into the palace.

Today's Li family and the royal family have almost reached the point where fire and water are incompatible. The reason why they haven't broken their faces is just because both sides have their own scruples.

Surrounded by foreign enemies, big merchants cannot withstand large-scale civil strife. Although the Li family is as rich as a country, it is still too weak for a family to compete with a country's heavy weapons.

Checks and balances are the only way and the only result.

While all the servants were waiting nervously, the atmosphere in Shou'an Hall was also very heavy.

Taishang appeared, the Taoist sage who lived for more than 1000 years, just the majesty, made the hibiscus in the hall a little breathless in fear, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Beside Mu Jin, Li Ziye stood quietly, stretching out his hand to press the shoulder of the woman beside him, staring at Taishang in front of him with fiery eyes, without any fear, nor did he flinch in the slightest.

How could Ziye of the Li family, who had never bowed to the knees before the gods and life and death, showed timidity to a senile old man.

On the side, Mu Jin felt the warmth from her shoulders, the fear in her heart gradually subsided, and her body no longer trembled so much.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

Taishang noticed the eyes of the young man in front of him, and a strange color flashed in the old eyes, and asked.

"Why are you afraid? The old man is kind, so how can the younger generation be afraid." Li Ziye replied calmly.

"kind?"

Taishang smiled slightly and said, "In these years, you are the first person to comment on the old man like this, Li family boy, I heard that you went to the land of the extreme night, how did you fight against the gods, how do you feel?"

"Not much." Li Ziye replied calmly.

"It's just mediocre, haha."

Hearing this, the Taishang couldn't help laughing anymore, and said gratifiedly, "Yes, this arrogance, the old man likes it, the bullshit god, since he came to the world, he should kneel down. My human race, for thousands of years, has risen in the world. Wei Mo, everything is achieved by fighting with my own hands, why should I bow my knees to other people!"

On the side, Shang Huang saw the rare smile on the ancestor's face, and frowned involuntarily.

Li Ziye watched the arrogant laughter of the Taoist sages in front of him, but he didn't feel any joy in his heart.

Daoists have always been conceited, and this is engraved in their bones. Similarly, conceit and stubbornness can often be equated.

To a certain extent, they are the same kind of people. If they have the same ideas, it’s okay, but if they run counter to each other, it’s impossible to convince each other. Life and death is the only ending.

"This girl, why is she still kneeling, get up."

After laughing a few times, Taishang noticed the hibiscus next to the Li family boy in front of him, and said in a meaningful way, "There is gold under the men's knees, and women are the same. Don't bend your knees to others so easily. On this point, you girl!" You should learn from the kid around you."

Mu Jin trembled, suppressing the fear in her heart, and stood up.

"Girl, where's Wenqing?"

Taishang looked at the girl in front of him, and said seriously, "I know that you have followed him for many years, and I will only believe the answer you tell me yourself."

"My lord, I'm dead." Mu Jin's eyes dimmed and she replied.

When Taishang heard this, his expression sank, and he continued to ask, "Where's the corpse?"

When Mu Jin heard the old man's question, she raised her head and answered word by word, "Between heaven and earth!"

Taishang's face immediately turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't care about the overall situation, stupid!"

"What is the overall situation?"

Li Ziye took half a step forward, stood in front of Mu Jin, and said calmly, "Old man, only those who are like-minded can unite, and only those who wish can go together. The prince has the faith of the prince. A man stands in the world and restores the world. Why not?"

Taishang turned his eyes to the Li family's son in front of him again, and said in a cold voice, "How long has it been, what else should you pay attention to? As the helm of the Li family, don't you know that you will be the leader of the Li family? Is it the truth? The benevolence of a woman will only make things worse."

"The Li family has always been a group of like-minded people."

Li Ziye said calmly, "There is no common philosophy, and if you stay, it's just a superficial fit. The Li family doesn't need such a person."

"You are the same as Confucius, the benevolence of a woman!"

Taishang reprimanded in a cold voice, "As a person who has the destiny, how can you focus on the gains and losses of one person, a hundred people, or a thousand people."

"Ruthless is not necessarily a real hero. How can Lianzi not be a husband? I admit that there must be sacrifices in doing great things, but there must be a degree in everything."

Li Ziye said tit for tat, "It's still the same sentence, those who wish to go together, before others put their lives in your hands, the elderly have no right to decide the fate of others."

"It's a joke, don't tell me you want me to ask everyone in the world if I want to walk with me?"

Taishang sneered, "Your thinking is too naive."

"Why not?"

Li Ziye said seriously, "Aren't the Taoist sect a thousand years ago and the Confucian sect a thousand years later all like-minded fellows? The Confucian leader created the Confucian sect and educated the world, isn't it to win more fellows? Thousands of years ago, the Taoist sect was able to win because of the mutual support of like-minded people."

Having said that, Li Ziye changed his tone and asked, "Old man, since when did you start to set your sights on those mediocre people you didn't even want to look at? It's because your companions passed away, old man Are you starting to feel powerless?"

When Taishang heard this, his body shook violently.

That's right, since when did he degenerate to the point where he started to force those idiots to walk with him?

"This time going north, we fought against the God of Light, and Shao An also went."

Li Ziye continued with a calm expression, "The young master of the Taoist sect is still so rebellious and has no lower limit. There has been no change in the millennium, and he has never mentioned anything about the world. It’s just a kalpa, what are you anxious about, the path of sentient beings can be left to the sentient beings to walk, even if you fail in the end, so what, you old man has no obligation to save the world, and likewise, you don’t have the right to make decisions for sentient beings.”

At the end, Li Ziye couldn't help cursing in his heart.

His uncle, he said a bunch of stuff.

Poor old man, if it wasn't that the young master couldn't beat you, how could he be in the mood to talk nonsense with you here? Little Red Riding Hood is still waiting for the young master to save him!
