Chapter 339: Cause and Effect, How to Choose
He understood that the other party possessed a power that was completely beyond his reach.
After experiencing what had just happened, Li Shimin felt that his life was both absurd and brilliant.
But at the same time, he is now wondering, how should he choose?
What would happen if those mistakes could be undone?
Moreover, as an emperor, everything he does will be recorded and left in history books for future generations to evaluate.
"well."
Li Shimin let out a long sigh.
Later generations' evaluation of him is that his merits outweigh his faults.
So he was not satisfied.
Originally his idea was very simple, to protect the people and become a wise ruler.
Then become a model for all emperors.
But unfortunately...
He has already killed his brother, and there is no chance of change.
All he can do now is to stay calm and stick to his original intention in the future.
And you have to consider the consequences when doing anything.
After watching his life unfold, he knew very well that some of his decisions were extremely stupid.
"Boss, is what I just saw true?" Li Shimin's voice trembled when he said this.
Li Shimin, who was originally very proud, now looked at Chen Fan, lowered his noble head, with a look of respect on his face, and became very humble.
Hearing this, Chen Fan smiled and said, "Whether it is true or not, you know it best in your heart."
"You asked me just because you wanted to know more information."
"But have you ever thought about it? Everything has a cause and effect."
"Now that you know the situation, what will you choose? Or what should you do?"
"It all depends on you."
The meaning of Chen Fan's words is very simple. What to do next depends on you, Li Shimin.
Master Xuanzang felt very melancholy after hearing these words.
He was lucky this time. He came here with His Majesty and met a master who gave him guidance, which gave him an epiphany.
Will my destiny change because of this?
That remains to be seen.
But, apart from anything else, just this epiphany made him very appreciative.
At this time, Li Shimin's face was full of bitter smile.
"Yes, everything has cause and effect."
"After I knew these things, I realized that everything was a foregone conclusion, and I felt a little unwilling."
If there was a chance, he would definitely not want to leave behind a scene of fratricide.
That is something that people will always remember.
Unfortunately, no matter how unwilling you are, things have already happened.
And he did it on his own initiative, no one forced him.
Chen Fan shook his head, finding the other person very funny.
"What happened happened, there's no need to dwell on it."
"If you said that you were trying to save your life, I think some people would understand your actions."
"When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked; when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. This principle has never changed."
"To be more powerful than the master is a big problem in itself."
"Think carefully, during the time you were the emperor, were there things you were very afraid of?" Chen Fan asked.
Hearing this, Li Shimin was stunned, and his whole body became much more depressed in an instant.
"No, no, that's not the case at all. I just wanted to live a good life. Why didn't they even agree to my request?"
"So they deserve to die! They are the ones who want to harm me, not me killing my brothers!"
"Besides, in the royal family, where is the family affection?"
After Li Shimin said these words, he became crazy.
When Chen Fan saw this scene, he shook his head, not knowing what to say.
He himself doesn't want to care about mundane matters.
At this moment, the only voice in the entire restaurant was Li Shimin's crazy voice.
Only
Several people looked at him with very calm expressions.
They were totally indifferent.
No matter what choice Li Shimin made, it had nothing to do with them.
Bai Zhantang spoke only after he had finished going crazy.
"If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"
"Since you chose to take action, you should not have any regrets."
"And what's the use of regretting?"
Bai Zhantang had no good feelings towards Li Shimin.
This kind of person is a typical one who takes advantage of others and acts ungratefully.
Moreover, the other party's state was too fake, he couldn't bear to watch it at all.
Therefore, his face was full of sneer.
After hearing these words, Li Shimin immediately turned to look at Bai Zhantang and glared at him fiercely.
Although he was very wary of Chen Fan.
But why would Bai Zhantang, dressed like a waiter, dare to talk about him?
And everything he did had his own reasons.
At that time and in such a dangerous situation, he had to do it.
Otherwise his life would be in danger.
Therefore, Li Shimin felt very unhappy when he saw Bai Zhantang dare to talk about him like this.
"Why do you talk about me?"
"Don't you see what you look like? How dare you point fingers in front of me?"
"Are you worthy?"
After hearing these words, Master Xuanzang, who was standing by, looked helpless.
He didn't expect that the emperor, who had always been very smart and his majesty, whom he respected very much, would now become so unwise.
He wanted to open his mouth to remind Li Shimin, but seeing Chen Fan's half-smile, he simply kept silent.
Everything always has cause and effect.
Since the other party has made a choice, he or she must bear the consequences.
This is what he understands now.
No one is exempt from this.
Bai Zhantang looked at Li Shimin's condescending attitude and laughed.
"What does my identity have to do with you?"
"Don't call yourself "I" in front of me. You are not worthy."
"Why don't you look in the mirror and dare to put on airs here? Are you worthy?"
"Besides, your Tang Dynasty power is useless here."
Bai Zhantang was very arrogant at this time.
Not to mention anything else, just from the perspective of his own strength, he is in the Qi training stage, and there is a world of difference between him and Li Shimin.
If this was not Zuishenglou but outside, if Li Shimin dared to speak to him like this, he would have slapped him in the face.
Give him face?
"This guy." Chen Fan looked at this scene, shook his head, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Outsiders are all guests, especially when the other party has not yet successfully challenged you and is living a life of drunkenness and dreams. There is no need to make things so awkward.
Chen Fan fixed his gaze on Li Shimin and spoke.
"Don't regret your move, don't worry too much."
"Besides, right and wrong, merits and demerits are all judged by others, so don't care too much about it."
The meaning of Chen Fan's words was very clear, which was to tell Li Shimin not to dwell on the past.
At this time, Li Shimin lowered his head and said nothing.
Bai Zhantang was indeed very offensive to him, and he was very unhappy.
However, Chen Fan's words just now made him reflect.
No regrets in making a move.
Seeing Li Shimin lost in thought, Chen Fan looked at Master Xuanzang beside him.
"Xuanzang, I will ask you one last time."
"You are a monk. If you really challenge the dream of drunkenness, you may violate your practice."
"Do you really want to continue the challenge?"
Chen Fan really doesn't like trouble, and if possible, he still wants to prevent this from happening.
This way, it will be easier for him later.
Master Xuanzang naturally knew what Chen Fan meant by these words.
However, when I thought of the gods and Buddhas in heaven, I was too busy to take care of myself.
These powerful people who are high up in the sky all have their tricky moments.
And he was just a monk who had just entered the door of practice, so it was not surprising.
If you accept the challenge of Drunkenness and Dreams and successfully complete it, it means you are recognized here.
At that time, it is very likely that you will give up what you have learned in Buddhism.
He hadn't been so hesitant before.
But now, he had already made his first steps into the world of immortality, and he knew he had to make a decision.
Unfortunately, this is too difficult to choose.
Should I choose Buddhism or Taoism?
At this moment, Master Xuanzang's face was full of struggle.
Chen Fan was not surprised when he saw this scene.
All this was within his expectations.
Instead he stared at the drunken dream on the counter.
In the state of drunkenness and dream, it seems that everything is there, yet it seems that nothing is there.
"Remember, everything has two sides."
"You have successfully challenged and lived a life of drunkenness and dreams, and have embarked on a special path."
"How far you can go on this road depends on how hard you fight."
“It’s always going to be a tough road, so don’t give up.”
Chen Fan said to Bai Zhantang and others.
He really hopes that these people will have a bright future.
At this time, Li Shimin's mind was full of thoughts.
He knew very well that he came here just to find out if there was a way to achieve immortality.
If not, where should he go?
He really doesn't want to give up the power in his hands.
As an emperor, he gave up power and lived an ordinary life?
How is this possible?
You know, even if he wanted to live an ordinary life, there would probably be people who wouldn't want him to go on living.
He was now wondering how he should proceed.
And after knowing the future trajectory of his life, he felt the burden on his shoulders was even heavier.
Therefore, after hearing what Chen Fan said, he suddenly had some enlightenment.
This is a road full of thorns and we cannot give up.
And he must be careful.
Any choice you make at this moment is likely to cause earth-shaking changes in the future.
As for how it will eventually develop, I guess only God knows.
Whether the future development will be good or bad depends entirely on Li Shimin's one thought.
And every choice he makes has consequences.
Chen Fan's words just now were deafening to everyone's ears.
It took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses.
At this time, Master Xuanzang looked at Chen Fan closely.
"Have you thought about it?"
"Don't worry. There's no rush for this matter. Think about it first." Chen Fan looked at Xuanzang and said seriously.
This is the first Buddhist practitioner to appear here, which really surprised Chen Fan.
As for the monks in Kyushu, to be honest, they cannot be considered Buddhist practitioners at all.
So, Chen Fan gave Xuanzang some time.
After all, it is not easy for the other party to practice to this point.
If you make a decision blindly, you may waste decades of other people's time.
Therefore, no matter what decision Xuanzang makes, Chen Fan will respect him.
