Working Emperor of the Northern and Southern Dynasties

Xiao Yan, the founding emperor of the Southern Liang Dynasty, was a quick thinker and well-versed in literature and history. He wrote thousands of poems and many famous works. After he came to the throne, he ordered the compilation of 600 volumes of "General History" and personally wrote the preface to it.

Later generations believed that "the ancient emperors' artistic skills were rare and erudite." He was also good at music and calligraphy. Under his advocacy, the literature and art of Nanliang developed greatly.

But in the end, during Hou Jing's Rebellion, he was lying in the Jingju Hall of the Taicheng Palace. His mouth was bitter, and he couldn't get honey when he asked for it. After making two sounds of "ho! ho!", he died of hunger and thirst.

Eighty-six years old.

Chen Chang said it in a very tactful way, but he almost said: "Is there any point in studying?"

Despite this, Lou Qingyi was so angry that her chest was heaving and she couldn't even speak.

Chen Chang was also annoyed in his heart, and he didn't even think about showing mercy to the beautiful woman. He continued: "I admit that I am disrespectful to the late emperor. But look at it, since the Hou Jing Rebellion, people have been devastated and mountains and rivers have been broken. What were those scholars doing at that time?"

"Also, when the rebels marched straight in and finally approached Jiankang and besieged Taicheng, the late emperor originally called for troops from all over the country to rush to the rescue. However, due to the different intentions of the reinforcements from all walks of life, after several unfavorable battles, they stood still and waited to see the success or failure, so the rebels

The army was able to continue the siege of Taicheng, but where were the scholars at that time?"

"Humph, I just hold a book in my hands all day long. What Confucius said, Lao Tzu said, oh, these people are so confused when they really encounter things, they even become cowards. I read their books and read them like idiots.

I've been here, I haven't done anything worthwhile, and I've been bullying weak women like Madam all day long."

"Let me tell you, as long as Madam is happy, she can marry whatever she wants, no matter what those people do?"

After this scolding, Lou Qingyi was stunned. Every word Chen sang echoed in her ears. Although she didn't like to hear it, every word made sense.

However, Lou Qingyi had never been so wronged before. Her eyes were full of tears, but she bit her lip and refused to let the tears flow down. She retorted: "You are talking nonsense. What is wrong with Sister Wan'er for guarding her late husband?"

But this rebuttal seems a bit weak.

When Chen Chang heard this, he immediately felt happy and asked with a smile: "Lou Qingyi, do you know what is the most despicable and shameless thing in the world?"

Lou Qingyi hummed: "Only the most despicable and shameless people know about the most despicable and shameless things in the world."

…

After Chen Chang heard this, he was slightly stunned. This was a roundabout way of scolding me! He retorted, "That's why I asked you!"

"you……!"

Lou Qingyi is known as Jiangling's talented girl. She is naturally knowledgeable and quick-thinking. When she used to debate with those Confucian scholars, she had few opponents, but now she is teased by Chen Chang again and again. What's even more frustrating is that she can't find someone to fight back.

reason.

Chen Chang saw that her pretty face was red with anger, he smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "That's all, since it's hard for you to say it, let me tell you for you. The most despicable and shameless thing in the world is to deprive others of their thoughts.

.”

"Deprive others of their thoughts?" Lou Qingyi whispered.

Chen Chang asked: "That's right! By the way, do you understand what thought is?"

Lou Qingyi showed a barely understandable expression and nodded slightly.

Chen Chang sighed and said: "Everyone has the right to pursue freedom, happiness, and love from the moment they are born. This right is given by God. No one can try to take away all of this. And what you said

Those scholars who don’t know what they are talking about use the nonsense of the saint’s teachings to try to change destiny and deprive everyone of the rights given by God. Isn’t this even more despicable than those who commit adultery and plunder?”

Having said this, Chen Chang sighed again and said: "Actually, you women are the ones who suffer the most. Think about it, madam, she is a good woman, but she has been deprived of her thoughts by others, and she can only live like a walking zombie every day.

Stay in that small room and compare yourself with others. If it were you, would you be happy? Can you be happy?"

These words are extremely bold. If you encounter those pedantic scholars, you will have to fight with Chen Chang.

Fortunately, Lou Qingyi is not a pedantic person. In fact, she is also very resistant to the ethics and secularism. But today, in order to refute Chen Chang, she brought out these unwritten rules. Unexpectedly, she was reduced to nothing by Chen Chang.

value.

Lou Qingyi's expression softened a little and said: "You are right. Since the death of sister Wan'er's husband, the smile on her face has become less and less, but... but this does not mean that you are writing in her name.

An excuse to believe.”

Chen Chang laughed and said: "First of all, I want to clarify that I am not deliberately taking my wife's name. I am just stating a fact. People live for themselves, not for someone who has passed away, let alone for that person.

What kind of bullshit is it? You are truly happy when you are happy, and your life in this world is not in vain. But you, huh...?"

When he said this in a strange way, Lou Qingyi said anxiously: "What about me?"

Chen Chang squinted at Lou Qingyi and said aggrievedly: "You always say that you are Madam's good sister, but why did you see her trapped in the mud and didn't think about saving her, but condoned it, and now you are trying to hurt the one who will save Madam?"

A well-intentioned person who has gone through hardships, well, that’s fine, as long as my wife is happy, it doesn’t matter if I, Chen Chang, am a little wronged.”

Are you wronged?

Lou Qingyi rolled her eyes at Chen Chang angrily, but now she understood. She knew that Chen Chang was not disrespectful to Sister Wan'er from the bottom of his heart. It was just that Lou Shaokang was forced to do it as a last resort.

It's just a counterattack.

If he hadn't asked Xiao Yu'er about this matter, Xiao Yu'er would have rotted in his stomach, and Sister Wan'er wouldn't know.

If I make such a fuss now, there is no guarantee that it will reach the ears of Sister Wan'er, which will be troublesome.

Lou Qingyi also gradually regretted it at this time, secretly complaining that he had not figured out the right and wrong before coming to investigate, resulting in being so passive now. But seeing Chen Chang's aggrieved look, he smiled and said: "Don't you still want me?"

Thank you?"

Chen Chang shrugged and said: "I think I am fully qualified to accept the thanks from anyone who cares about my wife!"

Lou Qingyi bit her lip gently. This guy was indeed very sharp-tongued. I just came here to ask for forgiveness, but now I have to thank him. It's really unreasonable.

The more she thought about it, the more unconvinced she became. An idea came to her mind and she smiled and said, "You are right. I do have to say 'thank you' to you, but you have to apologize to me first."

"I apologize to you? Miss, are you okay?" Chen Chang asked in surprise.
