Chang Geng stopped and said, "When you were a child, you often ran to me to ask questions. I would weave grass insects for you to play with. How come you're so distant with your Fourth Uncle now that you've grown up?"

Li Zheng was speechless and murmured: "There is a difference between the ruler and the subject, I... "

Thinking about it, when he was young, Li Zheng did not need his young imperial uncle to give him anything, Li Zheng simply liked him; therefore, he did not show restraint. Although he still lived in the palace these recent years, he always felt that he was living in someone else's place and was dependent on others. When facing his imperial uncle, he would involuntarily mix in a lot of flattery and caution. On the contrary, it caused things to be different.

When Li Zheng looked into Chang Geng's eyes, he knew that his Fourth Uncle 's heart who could shoulder a tilting building was as clear as a mirror, understanding every matter, causing him to feel even more ashamed of himself.

"It's a big thing to abolish and establish the crown prince," Chang Geng replied quietly. "It's not up to you and me to decide the law of state at will."

Li Zheng's face turned red, as if he was someone whose affection got reciprocated.

Chang Geng: "If there are things you find inconvenient to tell me, you can go talk to the Marquis of Order. He will leave the capital next month to inspect the military affairs of the four frontiers. If you want to, you can ask him to take you along."

Li Zheng was stunned.

He heard Chang Geng smilingly say, "When I was your age, your Fourth Uncle was also full of confusion. That year, my yifu and I, the one who was ordered to take care of me, the Marquis of Order, had a big quarrel, I insisted on running away from home. With Master Liao Ran and General Zhong, I traveled all over Great Liang, went to many places. I have seen countless families making a living, and have also seen the unruly bandits running rampant. In the world of separation and death, you can see more joys and sorrows, the things you put in your heart would also become smaller."

Even the young crown prince understood the importance of the Marquis of Order who held the Black Tiger emblem both in court and in the military. He was very curious about this legendary hero when he was young, clung to him and begged him to write a calligraphy note. Later, he no longer dared to. When his mother was alive, she tightly locked him in the palace and did not let him go out to interact with the court officials, afraid that her son would overstep the line in front of the new emperor’s eyes. She did not let him set foot in the Marquis's Manor either.
