"The teacher's body is still the same.

In the palace, Chen An met Cheng Qi, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Counting the time, it has been several years since they last met.

After Cheng Qi ascended the throne, he basically had to visit every one or two months in the beginning.

Later, because of the busy state affairs and Chen An's obvious impatience, Cheng Qi gradually slowed down the frequency of visits, and then it became once every six months.

This frequency has not changed over the years.

It wasn't until ten years ago that Chen An decided to travel and hang out for some time, so we didn't see each other for a few years. Cheng Qi looked much older after not seeing each other for a few years, and his hair was now full of white.

.

The young boy he once was is now gradually transforming, and has finally become much older. He looks completely like an old man.

And Chen An is still young.

Counting his age at this moment, Chen An is already one hundred and twenty years old. No matter where he is placed, he will have a long life.

In previous lives and ancient times, that was a person of aristocratic status, someone who had to be praised.

But Chen An doesn't look like an old man at all.

Although he has aged a little, he still maintains his middle-aged appearance. He looks like a strong middle-aged man, but his hair is a little gray.

His hair is gray, but his physique and appearance have not changed. Overall, he still looks much younger than the emperor Cheng Qi.

If the two of them were standing together, and if they didn't know the situation, they might treat Cheng Qi as Chen An's junior. But in reality.

Counting from the beginning of Cheng Zheng, Chen An can be regarded as a figure of Cheng Qi's grandfather.

"We haven't seen each other for several years, but the teacher's body is still the same, but I am getting older.

Looking at Chen An in front of him, Cheng Qi had a wry smile on his face and said this.

"Your body...it's time to take good care of yourself.'

Chen An looked at Cheng Qi seriously, and then spoke after a long time.

Cheng Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "I think so too, but the country is busy with affairs and I really can't spare much time.

When people say that the country is busy with affairs, they are mostly just talking casually.

But Cheng Qi is different,

To a certain extent, Cheng Qi is indeed the successor chosen by Cheng Zheng himself, and he is extremely persistent in some things.

He is also a workaholic at ordinary times, and his workload in a day is far inferior to that of others. He is clearly a little Cheng Zheng.

In this regard, we can only say that Cheng Zheng was right.

But although the attitudes are similar, the conditions in other aspects are quite different.

Compared with the time Cheng Zheng was in, the environment Cheng Qi faced was much more dangerous.

As the people multiply, domestic conflicts continue to intensify, and various affairs come one after another.

All kinds of troubles are much more difficult than Cheng Zheng's time.

This is something that is hard to come back from. Many of the things left over from the beginning are now out of date. No matter how hard we try, we can only make changes and barely operate them.

There are still many problems.

If it were Cheng Zheng, he might have raised the butcher's knife with the support of Chen An at this moment and started drastic reforms.

Although Cheng Qi's abilities are good, he lacks courage, so he can only deal with various troubles passively, and is exhausted all day long.

Fortunately, because of Chen An's existence, Dahua's external environment was relatively stable during this period.

Although countries around the world, such as the Song Dynasty, have risen again, they would never dare to take the initiative to offend Chen An before his death.

The external environment is fairly stable, and with Cheng Qi's hard work, it has managed to maintain a prosperous situation.

But Cheng Qi's mind was inevitably distracted by these things, and he had no extra energy to focus on anything else.

This is also a kind of helplessness.

In order to refresh himself when he was extremely sleepy, Cheng Qi seemed to have been swallowing some kind of pill for a long time, which would also be a hidden danger in the long run.

"Those elixirs and the like, you might as well not take them.

Chen An looked at Cheng Qi's appearance and said, "Although those things are effective for a while, they are not good for your body in the long run.'

"yes.

Cheng Qi nodded, a little helpless: "Students also know that those are not good things, but sometimes they are really tired and have no choice.

"If your body is normal, there are always many substitutes, and there is no need to use that kind of elixir specifically."

Chen An shook his head: "In the final analysis, there is something wrong with your body. Except for those pills, other things are no longer effective.'

It’s not easy to feel refreshed, there are many ways.

Not to mention conventional physical methods, using internal energy to stimulate the body's acupuncture points can also achieve similar effects.

However, Cheng Qi's body has aged and it is hard to recover. Except for things like pills, other methods can no longer have much effect.

My patience has long been exhausted.

In response to Chen An's persuasion, Cheng Qi verbally agreed, but in reality, he would do whatever he wanted from now on.

After Chen An knew the result, he already knew the ending.

Sure enough, three years later, Cheng Qi suddenly fell ill in his study and fainted on the spot.

After this incident, he became ill and stayed in bed.

"Teacher, the prince.

Before he died, Cheng Qi used his last strength and looked at Chen An pleadingly.

Standing beside him is Cheng Qi's child, the prince who is now thirty.

Meeting Cheng Qi's eyes, Chen An sighed silently, then nodded.

Only then did Cheng Qi feel relieved, and then looked at the prince beside him, and opened his mouth to explain something.

Compared with Cheng Qi back then, the current prince is already in the prime of life and has sufficient prestige, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

It's just that the chaos in the country was so troublesome that Cheng Qi had to be careful and give serious instructions.

Finally, one deep night, Cheng Qi also died.

The prince ascended the throne and became the new emperor.

The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and he had accomplished some things in the first few years, working as diligently as his grandfather.

He handled the government affairs, treated ministers seriously, appointed talented people, and had Chen An, the King of Chen, as his backing. For a while, he looked like a wise king and was praised by all parties.

Okay, a tough guy can't be tough for long after all.

Many domestic chaos are not easy to resolve. The relationships among them are intricate and complex. It is easy to end them all at once, but it is very difficult to change them step by step through internal operations.

Just think about it.

Even with Cheng Qi's workaholic-like work attitude, he could not completely solve the problem. It will be easier to deal with it after the new emperor comes to power.

Doesn't exist.

In just a few years, Xintei has encountered obstacles everywhere. Except for some minor issues, the most fundamental problems have not been solved.

For young people, this is of course a huge blow.

If it was Cheng Zheng or Cheng Qi, perhaps after a brief setback, he mustered up the courage again and continued to work hard.

But the new emperor is different.

From Chen An's point of view, neither Cheng Zheng nor Cheng Qi are actually normal people, but are creatures other than normal people.

With their good abilities and workaholic attitude, they will always excel no matter where they are placed.

But this new emperor may have pretty good abilities, but he is just a pretty normal person.

Facing one blow after another and under the gaze of many expectant eyes, he made a decision that went against his ancestors.

It was completely ruined.

After experiencing repeated blows, he realized a truth.

There is no point in working or anything like that.

He is already the emperor and has been promoted for a long time. No matter how hard he works, is it possible that he can still change his life? The throne?

With Chen An, the King of Chen, in charge, Dahua is not afraid of anything and does not have to worry about losing its position at all.

Since there is no difference between showing off and working hard, why not just show off?

So from that day on, the king gradually degenerated and fell into another kind of life.

He began to indulge in pleasure, built a gorgeous palace, kept beauties in captivity, and ran wildly in the direction of debauchery. The ministers of the government and the public were stunned to see the whole process.

It has only been a few years, Your Majesty, you are letting yourself go so fast, why don’t you do it so soon?

Facts have proven that it may take decades to cultivate a suitable person, but it only takes a few years to corrupt a person. Sometimes it may not even be needed.

As for normal people, there are a few people who can bear not to enjoy themselves but to deal with boring and boring things.

In Chen An's view, the previous Cheng Zheng and Cheng Qi were actually not normal, and the new emperor in front of him was considered a normal person.

The only good thing is that although the new emperor gradually degenerated, he still maintained enough restraint after all. He just stopped being diligent and became indolent, and the rest was nothing.

Although he cannot be compared with Cheng Zheng and Cheng Qi, he can at least be regarded as a moderate king.
