Chapter 291 And You
"What?" Lin Wen was stunned for a moment.
Li Longxing smiled and said, "I mean, I'm marrying you the First Princess. She's the most beautiful woman in the empire, the most shining jewel in the imperial crown."
Lin Wen flatly refused: "I can't afford it."
Li Longxing smiled and said, "No, no, that's not something I can't reach. I think you can..."
Lin Wen refused forcefully: "No, it's because she is too high to reach me. I am the future Lord of the Great Dao. How can a mortal woman dare to dare to touch me?"
What?
Li Longxing almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.
What is the "Lord of the Great Dao"? What does "mortal woman" mean?
The first princess of the empire, is there anyone who cannot reach her height?
Emperor of the Empire?
That’s not too far off… No, this brat is just a county chief, what is he dreaming of?
Li Longxing thought a lot in an instant.
He has an extremely sharp mind and a strong ability to deduce things, which is why he was able to understand the two paragraphs of Lin Wen's words that were very jumpy.
As long as he is given a clue, he can quickly deduce and fill in most of the missing content. Complex and obscure academic papers and classic tomes are no reading difficulties for him at all.
Li Longxing’s dream was to be an artist who changes the world with art and a thinker who changes men with philosophy.
He hated Zhengzhi very much.
But the empire was in turmoil at the time, with fierce internal strife, so he was the only one who could come to power.
The moment he became the crown prince, he changed from a thinker who thought rationally to a politician who thought in terms of interests.
His mind is so active, like a jumping spark, and he likes efficient and purposeful communication.
And communication among politicians is extremely slow and inefficient.
They will not easily express themselves clearly, and they will fill interpersonal communication with countless nonsense and garbage.
For Li Longxing, communicating with them was an extreme torture, and he spent most of his time in the Emperor's Tower under this torture.
Therefore, when Lin Wen communicated with him in minimalist language, the joy of rain after a long drought and the sparks of inspiration generated by the collision of wisdom made his soul almost tremble, and also won Lin Wen greater favor from him.
It was because of this that he decided that this was a boy to whom he could entrust the most precious thing in his heart.
However, this brat not only refused, but also gave a reason that made him overload his mind and still couldn't figure it out.
Li Longxing looked at him and said in a bad tone: "Boy, explain it to me."
Lin Wen scratched the back of his head. What he had just blurted out had made things difficult to resolve. He could only bear the pain and open a new [Seven Apertures Heart].
The soul consumed 7%, which should have been only 5%, a loss of 2%.
The Seven-Aperture Heart said, "I do not care about the appearance or status of my spouse. Youth is fleeting, beauty fades, beauty leaves the mirror, and flowers leave the tree. There is no eternal youth, just as there is no eternal royal power."
"And identity is merely something the world attaches to her. It simply means she's your daughter, and it doesn't hold any other value. The truly precious things of humanity are knowledge, inner qualities, and the soul."
After hearing these words, Li Longxing was filled with awe.
"I underestimated you. You possess such noble character and integrity. It seems that your so-called Lord of the Great Dao is a thinker who has mastered philosophical truth, and the mortal woman refers to a superficial and ignorant woman..."
Qiqiao Linglongxin said: "In the field of philosophy, the fusion of minds far exceeds the collision of bodies..."
Lin Wen closed his ears to avoid being shattered by the amazing operation of the Seven Apertures Heart.
After immersing himself in cultivation for a while, he opened his eyes and regained his five senses.
Li Longxing had put the matter aside for the time being, but he still forced his treasured complete photo album of the First Princess (Emperor Exclusive Edition) into Lin Wen's arms.
The content of their conversation had gone completely off the track.
"...Read more, especially in the dead of night when everyone is alone. The pursuit of truth is boring, and it's good to have someone to accompany you. As a man, sometimes it's okay to be a little superficial."
The Seven-Aperture Heart is particularly good at this kind of conversation. Lin Wen wisely turned it off to avoid the situation where two wretched men were discussing the measurements and legs of a beautiful woman, and forcibly ended the topic.
"I want to go back."
"Ahem! It seems like our aesthetics are very similar. We could communicate more."
But Lin Wen didn't want to waste time, he had to go back quickly because he found that Zhao Minggong's lifespan was decreasing rapidly.
Since he set out on the expedition, Zhao Minggong single-handedly held up half of Changshan County.
In addition to the huge and complicated refugee affairs, the construction affairs of 500,000 workers, and administrative affairs, they also have to arrange for the transportation, reception, and support of spoils on the front line.
Otherwise, thousands of cars cannot run non-stop for three days.
The transportation and receipt of hundreds of thousands of tons of materials and tens of thousands of personnel have never been so fast.
It was also from that time that Wolong's life span began to pass away at a faster rate. After Lin Wen came to the imperial capital, the speed did not slow down, but became faster.
Now Wolong only has more than 70 days left to live, and his life is passing away at five times the speed of an ordinary person. This makes Lin Wen a little restless.
"I have an urgent matter."
Lin Wen said.
"Changshan County is in danger."
If anything happens to Wolong, it will be a huge loss to Changshan County.
Li Longxing's expression turned serious: "Really? It seems like you're having a hard time too."
"That's it, then."
Li Longxing quickly sent him out of the Emperor's Tower, shortening the conversation time to the road.
"I've proposed changing the governor-general to state governor, but the Great Elder hasn't agreed yet, nor has he explicitly opposed it..."
Lin Wen said, "That's a big step. The Great Elder is worried that it will affect the foundation of the empire's governance. You can set up two heads, one governor and one governor."
Li Longxing suddenly forgot what he was going to say next. It was as if a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, illuminating the dark night of his soul.
A hundred better advantages of this method suddenly occurred to him.
The most important thing is that it is highly executable and will not cause backlash.
There is only one governor in a state, and there are so many officials in the empire, it is more than just a case of too many wolves and too little meat.
Wouldn't adding one more governor give space to the countless bureaucrats who have been stuck at this threshold for years to move up a level?
Although the Governor may oppose it, everyone under his administration will support it.
This is a very good transition policy with a lot of room for further operation.
And the one who came up with such a sophisticated and vicious plan was just a young county chief.
He didn't even think, he just said it in response to what he was saying.
"The young are truly formidable."
Li Longxing sighed.
The forty-six-year-old was sitting in the royal car heading to the imperial capital airport. He looked at Lin Wen beside him, and his eyes were full of his twenty-six-year-old self.
“There’s still a future.”
He thought.
"If we old guys from the old days fail, we still have you."
