Chapter 13 Tang Sufan’s Loneliness

In his previous life, he had an equally unfair life experience. His parents died in a car accident when he was nine years old, and his sister shouldered the heavy responsibility of making money to support the family.

But I was young and ignorant, rebellious and disobedient. When I was a child, I stayed with my grandparents in the countryside. My sister worked outside to earn money. Even when I grew up and returned to the city to study, my sister also worried a lot.

Until later, his sister suffered from acquired coronary heart disease, and she never told him in order not to let him know.

After he recognized the reality of society, he worked hard to get into a business school and studied domestic business and foreign trade. After graduation, he worked hard to make money, start a business, and was busy at work all day long.

Time passed by so unconsciously...

It wasn't until the day his sister was lying on the hospital bed that he knew what was most important to him.

Later, his grandparents also left one after another, and he seemed to become the loneliest person in the world. He had no relatives and no home...

He numbs himself by working and being busy.

Until one day, he wanted to go out for a walk to liberate his heart, which was almost numb in the world.

So I went out alone and took a trip that didn't require any choice. I accidentally fell from the mountain and came to the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago.

When he woke up, he was lying in a field of ice and snow, his body transformed into a teenager's body, exactly the same as when he was a teenager. He also inherited the memory of the original 'Tang Sufan'.

Later, he wandered around the Tang Dynasty for more than half a year, eager to find a place to stay like a lonely ghost...

Finally, he returned to Chang'an, to the home where his 'travelling body' once lived, and he barely found a sense of belonging.

Sometimes, many people in the world will be lonely, but no one can bear loneliness.

Every time he dreamed back at midnight, he still couldn't fall asleep, and even developed the habit of falling asleep peacefully only when there was some movement around him.

This is mostly due to his psychological problems, but perhaps this is also the root of his illness caused by his poor living habits from modern times to ancient times.

This is why he takes a nap at a street stall every day when he goes out on the street.

In the past life, I was in a hurry and it was over. In this life, I did not choose what I should choose, and I did not protect what I should protect. Only when those things that I thought should exist were lost did I know how much I regretted.

.

In this life, I never thought that I would still be alone...

The setting sun shone slightly on Tang Sufan's young but not immature face, making the flush due to alcoholism more conspicuous, and the corner of Tang Sufan's mouth curled up in a self-deprecating arc.

He murmured in a low voice: "Haha, am I just damn destined to be lonely..."

Tang Sufan was lost in thought, and suddenly called Li Shimin beside him: "Old Li."

Li Shimin looked at him, and he found that the current Tang Sufan revealed a desolation and sadness that should not appear in a young man.

Tang Sufan's voice paused, and he softly asked a question that has been commonplace throughout the ages.

"You said...why do people live this life?"

Li Shimin thought for a while, but he didn't answer. He glanced deeply at the wine in the glass and fell into deep thought.

Why do people live this life?

I work hard to govern, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous.

I have pursued imperial power and hegemony all my life, and for this reason I even killed my brothers and imprisoned my father.

But in the end, my family is broken, my country is broken, I am surrounded by wolves and tigers, there are natural disasters one after another, internal and external troubles, and I have to face the eyes of countless people from all over the world who are criticizing me.

I work hard to govern and dare not slack off, just for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the country and the people! But why do so many people not understand me?

Why don’t all the sentient beings in the world understand me?

When Tang Sufan saw that he didn't answer, he pursed his lips and smiled, and let it go. Looking at Old Li's face, everyone had his own sufferings and worries.

Li Shimin glanced at Tang Sufan, his depressed expression softened a bit, and said, "Tang boy, after listening to a certain advice, you entered the imperial court. With your abilities, why should you worry about not being able to gain glory and wealth?"

"Prosperity and wealth?" Tang Sufan tilted his head slightly and looked at Li Shimin sideways. Although the two of them had different ideas, Tang Sufan knew that Lao Li's words were truly for his own good.

He smiled and then said: "I really have no interest in glory and wealth. Besides, do you think the officialdom is so easy to mess around with?"

Tang Sufan rested his head on his hands, thought of a poem, looked at the sky and continued to say slowly and freely: "Furthermore... An Neng bows down to serve the powerful, which makes me unhappy~"

This sentence made Li Shimin startled, and Fang Xuanling, who was sitting beside him paddling, also raised his ears.

They were all used to this boy's unrivaled talent, but the meaning of his words...

Could it be that this boy is dissatisfied with the imperial power? Or does this boy just want to live a free life?

Li Shimin said again as if joking: "You lazy boy, why, aren't today's saints worthy of your following?"

"A saint today?" Tang Sufan muttered for a moment, then glanced at Li Shimin lazily and said slowly: "You mean Li Er?"

Li Er!!!

Tang Sufan's name made Fang Xuanling, who was very nervous, feel his heart tremble violently. This bitch still likes to seek death. Do you know that the old Li in front of you is Li Er?

In this world, although the title Li Er exists, who dares to say it without risking his life in front of the current emperor? Even the current queen calls him "Erlang" affectionately.

I don't know whether it was due to drunkenness or other reasons, but Li Shimin didn't have any emotion at all. Looking at Tang Sufan, who had his legs crossed high and his head resting on his hands with a lazy look on his face, he asked seriously: "What do you think of today's saints?"

If he hadn't been drinking, Tang Sufan would never have talked about Li Shimin in Chang'an with his seemingly careless but cautious temperament.

And now, having drunk two or three ounces of white wine, he said slowly: "How is it..."

He seemed to be thinking, or perhaps because he was drunk, and then continued: "It seems that it has been two years since Li Er launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, beheaded his brothers and ascended the throne, oh no, almost three years."

Hiss~

Bang~

Even though he was sitting on the back chair specially made by Tang Sufan, Fang Xuanling still leaned forward and propped up the table to listen to what this kid had to say. His feet slipped and fell.

Killed brother?

This brat is really crazy! Dare you say it!

When Tang Sufan saw the old man slipping down, he thought he was drunk, so he said hello: "Hey, Old Fang, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Fang Xuanling got up quickly, not even daring to look at Li Shimin's face. He could tell what Li Shimin's face looked like now even if he thought about it with his toes.

Thank you for having the time to ask me if I'm okay. You should worry about yourself first!

At this moment, under Tang Sufan's words about killing his brother and ascending to the throne, Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes that were a little drunk just now suddenly became a little cold.

The Xuanwu Gate Incident has always been the biggest thorn in Li Shimin's heart, and it is also the most untouchable thorn for him as an emperor.

Since he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, no one dared to say this in front of him, or openly said that you killed your brother to ascend the throne.

This guy is the number one!

I am going to read some books about time and space later, because I feel really uncomfortable when the word time travel always sums up everything...
