Chapter 1297: Cannot Die
The old eunuch sat down and said, "Speaking of which, I asked around about that matter you mentioned last time. Heh, I thought you were talking nonsense back then, but it turns out you weren't joking at all. Good heavens, Emperor Shuncheng is truly something. Thinking about it now, though, it still feels a bit strange. It's just an empty title, so how could it be so important? Why go to such lengths to set up such a scheme?"
Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment, then shook his head as well. "At first, This Chen didn't quite understand either. For a mere disparity in a title, why go to such massive lengths? But later on, I slowly came to understand it."
"A difference is a difference in the end. Yan Ruchu's purpose in life was to one day restore Great Jing. Even though he had become the emperor and this world was practically the world of the House of Yan, it still fell short of perfection. He wanted the world to remember the word Jing, rather than Xiang. Only this way could he feel that he was truly living, rather than feeling like he could die at any moment."
The old eunuch looked a bit bewildered. He shook his head and said, "That really makes one wonder. In my view, he was a bit too stubborn."
"Yes."
Chen Changsheng said, "If he weren't stubborn, how could there have been so many years of chaos?"
The old eunuch sighed softly, lamenting, "A person's life is truly fascinating."
"They are all fascinating," Chen Changsheng said.
The old eunuch froze for a moment, then immediately began to laugh.
