Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Zhi'an in silence for a long time with a blank expression, and nodded silently.
"My young master, my young master seems to have understood."
Liu Zhi'an smiled lightly and refilled a glass of wine for Young Master Liu. After placing the wine bottle on the low table, he stretched his body a few times with a comfortable expression.
"Just understand, that's fine. Just understand.
In this way, the pressure in your heart should be relieved."
"Peace and prosperity, peace and prosperity."
Mr. Liu whispered these four words softly twice, picked up his wine glass with slightly trembling arms, and drank the wine in the glass with a slightly excited look.
"Old man."
Liu Zhi'an turned around and spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells, then glanced at Young Master Liu with a calm expression, who looked slightly excited.
"Why, do you have any other questions?"
Young Master Liu took a deep breath of alcohol, raised his hands and rubbed his hot cheeks several times after drinking the wine.
"Old man, are you telling the truth?
The so-called peaceful and prosperous age is not something you deliberately said to make me happy in order to relieve the pressure in my heart, right?"
Listening to the eldest son's somewhat excited and somewhat unconfident tone, Liu Zhi'an could not understand what was going on in Young Master Liu's mind.
He looked at Mr. Liu's complicated eyes that were filled with anticipation and nervousness, chuckled and shook his head, peeled off a melon seed with his hands, threw it into his mouth and chewed it a few times.
"I am your son's biological father. When I evaluate the achievements of you, the king of a country, I will be somewhat selfish.
As a result, my evaluation of you will inevitably be biased due to selfishness.
Therefore, whether it is true or false, what I say does not count.
Is it true or false, and what are the details.
When you are free, you can send people directly to the people to find out the news, wouldn't you know?"
Listening to Liu Zhi'an's plain words, Young Master Liu looked deeply at the sparkling water and was silent for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I know this, young master. When I'm not too busy, I will send someone to find out."
Seeing the relaxed smile on his eldest son's face, Liu Zhi'an happily picked up his wine glass and gestured to Young Master Liu.
"Come, Your Majesty the Emperor, I offer you a drink."
Hearing his old man's joking tone, Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows, picked up his wine glass and returned the favor with a look of helplessness.
"Come on, old man, you should continue to call me a bastard or a bastard. I feel more at ease, young master.
When you shout the words "His Majesty the Emperor" from your mouth, I hear it harshly, young master, and feel uncomfortable all over."
Liu Zhi'an raised his eyebrows, pretending to be unhappy, chuckled and shook his head.
"A dog sitting on a sedan chair doesn't know how to lift it."
"Hehehe, I can't help it, my personality is like this, young master.
Old man, I would like to give you a toast."
"cheers."
"Do it first to show respect."
After finishing the glass of wine, Liu Zhian raised his hand and wiped the wine from his beard with a smile.
"Bastard, since the Year of Peace will be evaluated by the people of the world as the Age of Peace and Prosperity.
Then you can feel at ease.
It doesn't matter how you got the throne, whether it was through rebellion or regicide to seize the throne.
As long as the people want it, everyone in the world will praise it.
The reputation of your boy, Emperor Taiping, in the history books will not be too bad."
Young Master Liu took the melon seed shell with his fingers, laughed and nodded.
"Maybe."
"Oh, you bastard, how can there be so many perfect things in this world?
To put it bluntly, to put it more simply, everything is just a matter of life and death.
What was done by the predecessors will be commented upon by future generations.
Death is like a lamp going out, everything becomes nothing.
It is not easy for people of the present to live well in the present and do things well in the present.
From now on, just let nature take its course.
What is right and wrong, true and false, what is there to care about?
The left and right sides are nothing more than a handful of loess."
After hearing his old man's extremely open-minded words, Liu Mingzhi pondered for a moment and nodded happily.
"Yes, from now on, just let nature take its course.
What is right and wrong, true and false, what is there to care about?
The left and right sides are nothing more than a handful of loess.
Old man, maybe when I get to your age.
All the past, all the old events, will slowly be put aside."
Liu Zhi'an chuckled and shook his head, opened his mouth and gently took a puff of dry cigarette.
"This is wrong. If you figure out some things sooner, you will be happier sooner.
Why do you have to wait until I am my age to understand it?
No one is perfect when it comes to his deeds but not his heart!
I still say the same thing as before, no matter what happens.
But just ask and be clear in your heart.”
After listening to Liu Zhi'an's words, Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and remained silent for a long time. He breathed out slowly, flexed his fingers and gently turned the jade ring on his thumb.
"I, the young master, try my best to be open-minded as soon as possible.
Old man, to be honest, after I ran into trouble with Mr. Xia Gongming several times about the Qingshi matter, I gradually started to think about it.
In fact, the main pressure in my heart, young master, is still on the matter of my future successor."
Liu Zhian raised his eyebrows, touched his nose angrily, and immediately cast his gaze to the float on the water without thinking.
"There is no use telling me about these things.
You kid, just watch it and it will be fine, you just watch it and it will be fine."
After Liu Dashan saw Liu Zhi'an's reaction, he looked slightly startled at first, and then he sighed helplessly after reacting.
"Oh, I knew this, young master, that the old man would definitely react like this."
Liu Zhi'an seemed not to have heard Mr. Liu's words, and clasped the crumbs of melon seeds at the corner of his mouth with his fingers, still staring at the float on the water.
Seeing his old man's deliberately deafening reaction, Young Master Liu naturally understood Liu Zhi'an's thoughts.
He shook his head gently, picked up the wine bottle on the low table, and began to pour himself a drink while sipping slowly.
While Mr. Liu was drinking one cup after another, Liu Yuan stood up suddenly, pointed at the water and shouted softly.
"Master, Master, come on, come on, there's a fish on the bait."
Young Master Liu's expression tightened, and he hurriedly put down the wine bottle and wine glass in his hand, grabbed his fishing rod, and looked happily towards the water in the distance.
Sure enough, the float on his fishing rod had already submerged into the water.
The water surface where the float was previously was now rippling in circles.
Mr. Liu suddenly stood up, holding the fishing rod tightly with both hands.
In the blink of an eye.
