What are people living for?

He never thought that people would not be afraid of death.The reason why you are not afraid is that what you want to protect in your heart is often more worthy of persistence than death.

Has he ever had his own attachments?Something that must be guarded even if life and death are torched?

He was established as a prince at the age of eight, and ascended the throne at the age of 12. His life has long been determined by an invisible hand.

emperor!He was born to be an emperor, and when he was young, he was repeatedly warned by his father. After he ascended the throne, he would sit on a high dragon throne and twist his body restlessly, while his mother would hang down the curtain behind him and reprimand him.The pampering of the father, the sternness of the mother, the assistance of the eight emperor uncles, the love of the Princess Cheshire, everyone used their different love to surround him, build him up, hold him up and pay him tribute, it was built like an imperial city wall Imprisonment is unattainable.For a moment he thought that was the way it should be, not considering how alluring this thing of freedom was.

So, when was the first time you thought about this question?

Ah, how could he forget.It was a cat sent as a tribute by foreign envoys on the day of his accession to the throne.

That cat was different from any cat he had ever seen. It had extremely short fur, long limbs, and extremely flexible body. It went up, down, stopped, and ran completely on its own. .But he just loved it and gave it the title of "Royal Cat".He still remembers the scene when his little self would often follow the royal cat and chase its free figure.

At that time, he often wondered whether people would never be as flexible and free as cats?

Yumao couldn't answer his question.Because it is not human, it will never understand human limits and constraints.

This question was not answered until meeting Zhan Zhao—a boy who was not yet twenty at the time—for him.When he saw Zhan Zhao jumping up Yaowu Tower, his heart suddenly felt an indescribable envy.Even the teacup in his hand fell in shock, and he couldn't help saying: "This is not a human being, it is clearly my royal cat."

I envy his nimble skill - even if I spend my whole life, I can't do it like him; I envy him that he has become famous at a young age - he relies entirely on his true ability, rather than being determined by an inescapable fate; he envies him even more. Freedom in the Jianghu——Whenever I can do this, that's fine.

The little secret in the bottom of my heart is the "greed" of the emperor that can't be told to anyone.

Making himself look like a child's play, he forced the title of "Royal Cat" on that free boy.Wanted to keep him and learn all he could ever hope to learn from him.But strangely, he felt that there was actually another strange energy stirring deep in his heart, and he actually wanted to see Zhan Zhao reject him forcefully.

After a long, long time, he realized that the thing he longed for at that moment along with freedom turned out to be "rebellion".

I am fed up with other people's finger pointing, and I want to devote myself to the world without restraint.This is the freedom he wants.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao did not resist.On the contrary, accept it calmly.It was only after a long time after listening to Zhan Zhao himself that he realized that everything was within Zhan Zhao's expectations.It turned out that he was never the one who imprisoned him, but he took the initiative to jump into this dangerous net.

Why is this so?

The freedom that I was desperately pursuing, but that boy wanted to give up easily...

There are right and wrong things in this world, but when it comes to the bondage between people, if it weren't for your love and my willingness, who would force each other? ——This is what Zhan Zhao told him once when he was drunk.

What real freedom, where am I not free?The path I want to take is my own choice, this is freedom!You don't even understand such a shallow truth, idiot...idiot! ——Ju, dare to call the emperor an idiot... This guy's wine quality is really not that good.

How can a person be completely free?In this way, what else is needed for the state and the law?The adults of the imperial court should go home and eat their own food. Your Majesty, you can also get out of here. Who else will take care of you?People, you still need to be restrained... Hey hey, why do you have such a serious expression, wouldn't it be better to be a bond?Isn't that how the fate and emotion between people come about?Doesn't a person who is not bound become completely lonely? ——The point of view is really different. Do you look at the problem from another angle?

Therefore, in order to be able to stay by Mr. Bao's side in a righteous way and help me, I can accept any position or title.Because it's worth it - get drunk and say something more sincerely, no?

It feels...it's amazing...

Some people couldn't stand their own suffering and chose to flee from the inside of the city to the outside of the city.

In order to solve the suffering of others, some people choose to enter the city from the outside of the city.

Question: Will those who enter the city be able to solve the suffering of others?

Answer: How do those who flee outside the city know that there is no suffering outside the city?

Question: What will happen to those who enter the city if they cannot bear the suffering in the city?

A: Everything is your choice.No matter what the ending is, wouldn't it be a manly man to accept it readily?

The world is so enlightened.

This is what liberty is to man—something he could not have imagined.

The late Lord Cheshire once told him: Sometimes the most important thing in a person's life is not his own efforts, but the people he meets.

Now he has fully understood.

Reaching the goal depends on oneself, but pointing out the goal for oneself and guiding oneself to victory requires others more.Because human existence is from ignorance to knowledge.

From the first time he sneaked out of the palace, Zhan Zhao opened the door for him, allowing him to see the vastness of the sky and the earth.He learned how his future subjects would live, and found out how different their daily life was from his own. He even knew how much pork in the market cost per catty, how much it cost, how profitable it was, and at least how many catties had to be sold for a day’s daily life. In addition to the expenses, new clothes and materials need to be purchased for the wife and children during the holidays.

The life of the common people appeared inconceivable to him at first, but...it was only then that he realized the responsibility on his shoulders, and clearly realized the decisive influence of his future governance on these people.Ha, thank you very much!A butcher made him understand the importance of governing the country.If the queen mother knew that all these years, she was nothing more than a slap in the face, and it was not as good as the butcher wielding the butcher's knife, she would be half dead of anger.

But life is so strange, isn't it?

He chooses.

He is free.

So he exists.

It's just that he doesn't know if he still has the right to choose.

I couldn't move my limbs, and I couldn't feel any pain all over my body.

He... is... dead?

If he really died like this, he thought he would feel very unwilling.Give him another choice, maybe he won't be so impulsive...

Of course, this does not mean that he regretted saving Zhan Zhao.Being able to rush over instinctively, in some way, does it mean that Zhan Zhao holds an important position in his heart?

He is also a teacher, a friend, a minister and a companion.

The treasure of a confidant, it turns out that he also has the blood of the people in the rivers and lakes.

"There are rivers and lakes everywhere."

No wonder Zhan Zhao said that.

His unwillingness is dissatisfaction with his own life.There are still many things waiting for him to do, and there are still responsibilities waiting to be borne.

Death is such a terrible and hateful thing...

There was a tightness in his chest, and all his senses suddenly came back.Painful, numb, dizzy, swollen.Feeling that his clothes were being pulled desperately, he opened his eyes involuntarily to see what happened.

The first thing that catches the eye is Zhao Ying's delicate face covered with tears.The second person to enter was the familiar Imperial Physician Dong.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen woke up, Zhao Ying danced excitedly, and hurriedly grabbed the imperial doctor Dong and shouted: "Wake up, wake up, Brother Huang, he is awake." Then she threw herself on Zhao Zhen and cried loudly: "Brother Huang...Brother Huang... . . . "

Zhao Ying moved too much, which touched the wound on Zhao Zhen's body, causing Zhao Zhen to frown for a while.Seeing this, Imperial Physician Dong hurriedly said: "Princess Princess, be careful, Your Majesty is still injured."

"I...what's the matter?"

Zhao Ying cried and said, "Brother Huang, don't you remember? You were assassinated. When my queen mother and I arrived with the imperial guards, you shed a lot of blood and scared me to death."

"A lot of blood..."

"Long live, don't worry, the dragon's body is fine. It's just a little bit of trauma, and it will be fine after a few days of recuperation." Imperial Physician Dong kept wiping his forehead, and said faintly thankfully: "Thanks to Wan live wearing a warm leather. If it hadn't blocked most of the darts' piercing, the old minister would have died this time, and would have no face to see the late emperor."

Leather... Following Imperial Physician Dong's gaze, his eyes were drawn to the piece of leather placed aside.

It turned out that it was Yuzhen who saved her... Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing when he thought of how he had repeatedly resisted wearing something that stinks when he sweated.

"You still laugh, you can still laugh." Zhao Ying said angrily.

Seeing that the imperial sister was crying so much, he hugged her into his arms, and Zhao Zhen patted her on the back tenderly: "Okay, okay. It's my fault. Isn't I all right now?"

"Brother Huang, it's okay for you to have something to do. But someone who was fine will have a big trouble because of you."

"Yinger, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Ying knelt down in front of Zhao Zhen's bed with a face of pain, took Zhao Zhen's hand and pressed her forehead against it: "An accident happened to the guard Zhan."

"What?" He sat up in shock, but hummed because of the pain in his back.

"Long live, you can't move around." Imperial Physician Dong discouraged.

"I'm fine, Ying Er, you continue to talk."

Zhao Ying wiped away her tears, and said: "The queen mother was furious because you were injured. Brother Huang, you also know how precious the queen mother is to the person she likes. She angrily blamed the Zhan guards and all the guards for not being able to protect them, and said that they would be punished. But... the guard Zhan contradicted his mother, saying that her punishment was unfair. He said that the guards who were on duty nearby at that time had all been killed, and the others didn't know about it, so it was not fair to punish them."

"Guard Zhan... Sigh, why is he so confused? The empress mother was so angry, she didn't make sense at all. She just wanted to calm down. Zhan Zhao should know this, isn't he doing it out of force?"

"There is no other way. The empress originally meant to kill the other bodyguards who are not good for the guardian except Zhanwei. Brother Huang also knows the character of Zhanwei, and he absolutely cannot stand by. How can I argue with the empress without reason?" Okay, so the queen mother was mad and said: "Okay, since they have no responsibility, it is your responsibility? Since you have to carry it, Aijia will let you carry it thoroughly."" After taking a breath, he continued: " It's useless for me to talk dry, the queen mother has already ordered Bao Zheng and others who came to intercede to be driven out of Funing Palace. Whoever intercede now, the queen mother will only be more angry."

Zhao Zhen was shocked: "What does the empress mean... to kill Zhan Zhao?"

Zhao Ying couldn't continue, she just bit her lips and nodded vigorously.

Zhao Zhen was so anxious that he couldn't help but jump out of bed and put on his clothes, completely ignoring the throbbing pain in his body.

"Long live... Long live...." Imperial Physician Dong knelt down, bewildered, "I beg you, old minister, if you tear the wound open again, it will kill you!"

"It's my life if you tear it apart, so what's your business?"

"Long live, is it better to take your life than to take the life of an old minister? I beg you, old minister, please long live to cherish the dragon's body."

Zhao Ying suddenly knelt down and kowtowed a few times desperately: "Now only Brother Huang can save him, so... so Yinger begs Brother Huang to be patient and don't offend Queen Mother again. I'm really afraid that things will get worse. It gets worse."

"That's why I'm going." With the imperial sister mixed up, Zhao Zhen stared at the direction of the door with piercing eyes, "I won't make a mess. The reason why the Queen Mother is so angry is entirely because of my injury. I will let her see that I am fine now, and it will definitely calm her down. The queen mother is an elderly person, so if you coax her, it will not be difficult to intercede for Zhan Weiwei."

Glancing back at Imperial Physician Dong, she thought for a while and said, "Aiqing will come with me too. But... Aiqing needs to learn to speak first, and if you say something wrong later, the Queen Mother will not spare you, I, I can't forgive you."

The natural courage burst out from every word and every look, implying that Imperial Physician Dong, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled even more.This is the majesty of the emperor.The little prince whom he had grown up with was gone, and now his lord, his lord, his king was in front of him.

"Xiao Xue, pass on the order to drive to the Palace of Funing."
