That year, I was still struggling in the turbulent years of the imperial capital, but I didn't think that I would be kicked to the frontier by my ex-wife.
"Li Yuan, you useless thing, you still want to fight with me?" My ex-wife, Zhao, looked at me coldly, and her tone was full of disdain.
My eyes widened, and I couldn't believe that the woman in front of me, who had once been gentle, had become so fierce. I stiffened my neck and said stiffly: "Zhao, don't go too far!" ”
"Excessive?" She sneered, "You are now an ant under my feet, and you have to go wherever I want you to go!" ”
In this way, I was sent to the frontier by the Zhao family, the place where birds don't. When I first got there, I was so unaccustomed to the water and soil that I almost didn't make it. But whenever I thought of Zhao's smug face, I gritted my teeth and survived.
During my days in the frontier, I met a local named Chen Laohan, who took good care of me. Chen Laohan told me that although the frontier is hard, it also has its way to survive.
"Li Yuan, since you came here, you have to learn to adapt." Chen Laohan patted me on the shoulder, "Don't always think about the glory of the past, look forward." ”
I nodded, but I still couldn't let go of the hatred in my heart.
One day, news suddenly came from the frontier that the Zhao family was seriously ill and there was no one in the court. I know, this is my chance. I immediately packed my bags and prepared to return to the imperial capital.
Before leaving, Chen Laohan asked me: "Li Yuan, what are your plans for this trip?" ”
A hint of fierceness flashed in my eyes: "I want her to know that I, Li Yuan, am not easy to mess with!" ”
Back in the imperial capital, I secretly contacted the old ministry and prepared to regain the power that belonged to me in one fell swoop. And Zhao, who was already terminally ill, looked at me with horror in her eyes.
"Li Yuan, you ...... How did you get back? She asked, trembling.
I sneered: "Zhao, your good days are over." ”
Just as I was about to make a move, Chen Laohan suddenly appeared in front of me. He looked at me and said in a serious tone: "Li Yuan, do you really plan to do this?" ”
I was stunned, not understanding why he was stopping me.
"Li Yuan, have you ever thought that everything you have now is because of your hard days in the frontier." Chen Lao Chinese said earnestly, "If you really do this, what is the difference between you and Zhao?" ”
I was lost in thought. Yes, I learned to survive in the frontier and understand the meaning of life. If it's just to get revenge on the Zhao family, then haven't I become the same person as her?
In the end, I let go of my hatred and put Zhao under house arrest in the palace, and did not kill her. And I will continue to work hard for the country and the people.
Time flies, and I'm no longer young. Whenever I think of that past, I will think of Chen Laohan's words: "Li Yuan, life is like a play, you have to learn to let go." ”
Perhaps, this is how I grew up. The grinding in the frontier has taught me to be tolerant and let go, and it has also made me a better person.
The precipitation of the years has given me a new understanding of power, and I no longer pursue nihilistic power, but pay more attention to how to make the country prosperous and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. On this day, I was discussing state affairs with my ministers in the imperial study, when I suddenly heard a commotion outside.
When I walked out of the study, I saw a palace maid running in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good!" Zhao's mother, she ...... She escaped from the palace! ”
I was shocked, I didn't expect Zhao to have such guts. I immediately ordered: "Seal the city gates, and make sure to get her back!" ”
However, the Zhao family seems to have been premeditated and disappeared without a trace. I couldn't help but wonder why she had escaped from the palace. Is there any secret that cannot be hidden?
A few days later, I received news that the Zhao clan had joined the rebel forces in an attempt to overthrow my rule. I felt angry in my heart, but I also felt a trace of sadness. Once a lover, but now he has become an inseparable enemy.
I decided to personally confront the Zhao clan to correct the law of the country. Before leaving, I went to meet Mr. Chen and wanted to hear his opinion.
"Li Yuan, if you go, the outcome is unpredictable." Chen Laohan said worriedly, "Do you have to think clearly, is this the hatred in your heart that is causing trouble, or is it for the country and the people?" ”
I was silent for a while, and then replied: "Old man Chen, I have let go of my hatred, and this expedition is for the peace of the country and for the people to live a stable life. ”
Chen Laohan nodded, his eyes revealing trust: "Since you have thought it through, then go, may you return safely." ”
I set out with the army, and along the way, I was thinking about how I could solve this problem without bloodshed. Finally, when a big war was about to break out, I decided to go and see the Zhao family in person.
In the enemy camp, Zhao looked at me with a sneer: "Li Yuan, you are finally here, do you think I will give in to you?" ”
I replied calmly: "Zhao, I am not here to defeat you, but to save you. Why did you embark on this road of no return? ”
Zhao was stunned, she looked at me, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. I continued: "Once, we were married to each other, and although we have broken off, I still don't want to see you fall deeper and deeper. Come back to me, and we will work together for the country and the people. ”
Zhao was shaken, she was silent for a long time, and finally nodded with tears: "Li Yuan, I was wrong, I am willing to go back with you." ”
In this way, I solved the crisis without bloodshed. After returning to the imperial capital, I did not punish the Zhao family, but let her reflect in the palace. And I continue to be committed to the prosperity of the country.
Life is like a play, and drama is like life. In this game of power, I learned to be tolerant and let go, and I also understood responsibility and responsibility. In these turbulent years, I will continue to move forward with this understanding.
As time passed, Zhao's days in the palace gradually calmed down. She seemed to really repent, and began to silently help the palace maids in the palace and do what she could. I visit her occasionally, and although we don't have much conversation, I can feel the change in her.
One day, while I was taking care of my affairs, I was strolling through the garden alone, thinking about how I could make the country more prosperous. At this time, Zhao came over, and she looked at me with mixed emotions in her eyes.
"Li Yuan, these days, I think about it a lot." There was a hint of softness in her voice, "I have done a lot of wrong things for power, hurt you, and hurt many people. ”
I smiled and motioned for her to continue.
"I'm only now understanding that power doesn't bring real happiness." Her eyes became determined, "I want to do something to make up for my past mistakes." ”
I nodded, relieved by her change: "As long as you are truly willing, no matter what you do, I will support you." ”
In this way, Zhao began to participate in the charity of the palace, she helped many poor people, and also won people's respect.
Soon after, an urgent report came from the frontier that a foreign enemy force was gathering in an attempt to invade the mainland. I immediately summoned my ministers to discuss countermeasures, and decided to personally lead my army to resist it.
Before leaving, Zhao found me, her eyes were full of worry: "Li Yuan, this trip is dangerous, you must be careful." ”
I took her hand and felt a hint of warmth: "Don't worry, I'll come back safely." ”
On the battlefield, with swords and swords, I led the army into a fierce battle with the enemy. Every time I charged, I seemed to hear Chen Laohan's voice echoing in my ears: "Li Yuan, life is like a play, you have to learn to let go." ”
The battle lasted several months, and in the end, we managed to repel the enemy and defend the peace of the country. In the joy of victory, I was even more determined in my heart: I want to make this country more prosperous and let the people live a better life.
When I returned to the imperial capital, I was warmly welcomed by the people. Zhao was also in the crowd, her eyes glistening with tears, and I knew that she was so proud of me.
That night, Zhao and I stood on a high platform in the palace, overlooking the bustling imperial capital. The moonlight shone on us like water, and Zhao asked softly: "Li Yuan, do you think our life has found the true meaning?" ”
I looked at the starry sky and took a deep breath: "Yes, Zhao, our life is no longer for power and status, but for higher ideals, for the prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people. ”
We looked at each other and smiled, and at that moment, I seemed to see the shadow of our past and the hope of our future. In this turbulent era, we will move forward hand in hand and write our own legend together.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the country has become more and more prosperous with the joint efforts of the Zhao family and me. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the frontier is unharmed. I often take a stroll in the garden with Zhao after handling government affairs, enjoying a rare tranquility.
One day, Zhao suddenly proposed: "Li Yuan, I want to go to the frontier and go there to help those in need." ”
I was a little surprised, but looking at her determined eyes, I knew she had made up her mind. I nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go together." ”
The scenery of the frontier is very different from that of the imperial capital, with vast grasslands and rugged mountains. Along the way, we have witnessed the hard work and tenacity of the people in the frontier. Zhao gave full play to her talents here and solved many practical problems for the local people. And I have gained a lot of valuable experience here.
One day, we were wandering around a small town on the frontier and stumbled upon a teahouse. In the teahouse, an old man is telling a story about a frontier hero. He spoke eloquently and attracted many tea drinkers.
"This hero, he is brave and fearless, dedicated to the people, and is the patron saint of the continental frontier." The old man's eyes flashed with admiration, "He is Li Yuan." ”
Hearing this, Zhao and I looked at each other and smiled. I shook my head slightly, "I'm not much of a hero, I just did what I was supposed to do." ”
After returning to the imperial capital, I told Chen Laohan about this experience. After hearing this, he smiled and nodded: "Li Yuan, you finally understand that the meaning of life is not only about power and status, but also about working for the well-being of the people and contributing to the country." ”
I thought so, and I was even more convinced. Together with Zhao, I will continue to work hard for the country and the people. The years are like a song, and we have spent one stormy day after another hand in hand.
Until one day, I felt that my body was gradually not as good as before. Zhao looked at me, his eyes full of worry: "Li Yuan, you have to take care of your health, the country still needs you." ”
I gently held her hand: "Zhao, in my life, it is enough to have you by my side." I have already arranged the affairs of the state, you can rest assured. ”
At the last moment of my life, I looked at Zhao and my heart was full of gratitude. She has accompanied me through ups and downs and has become the most important person in my life.
After my passing, Zhao continued to work for the prosperity of the country. She has become a hero in the hearts of the people and an outstanding woman in the history of the mainland.
And I, although I have left this world, my story, my spirit, will always live in people's hearts. As Chen Laohan said: "Life is like a play, you must learn to let go." "In this scene, I found my true self and found true happiness.
