Chapter 450 Joy of Life 6
Li Chengze thought to himself: It's over!
This world is not only filled with eccentric and unruly officials, but even the crown prince seems like such a goofball.
I wonder if Emperor Qing is like these people?
If Emperor Qing were like this, then the original owner's memories of Emperor Qing in his mind would probably completely collapse.
Because he simply couldn't imagine that the emperor who had suppressed the original owner to the point of almost losing his will to live would actually be a goofball.
This was definitely a huge blow to Li Chengze.
After all, he found it hard to imagine himself being able to watch these people making jokes with a straight face without laughing when he was seriously pursuing his career.
Perhaps Heaven heard Li Chengze's heartfelt words.
Emperor Qing is perfectly normal.
At least during court sessions, he behaved perfectly normally.
Decisive, wise, and imposing, he exudes the demeanor befitting an emperor in every gesture.
The moment he ascended the throne, his innate imperial aura instantly filled the entire hall.
The civil and military officials who had been whispering just moments before suddenly fell silent, as if awed by an invisible force. They all bowed respectfully, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Emperor Qing sat on the dragon throne, looking down at his subjects with an air of majesty that made people afraid to look him in the eye.
Li Chengze: Hmm, that's right!
The majestic aura emanating from Emperor Qing gave Li Chengze, who was new to the place, a strange sense of familiarity.
Although he knew perfectly well that this old man wasn't very good to the original owner, he still felt strangely relieved.
He even inexplicably felt a sense of shared suffering.
With so many subordinates who were keen on causing trouble and vying for power, yet also tried so hard to be funny, it's no wonder that Emperor Qing went a bit morbidly crazy.
Imagine Emperor Qing standing above, passionately discussing state affairs with his officials, when one of them suddenly blurts out a funny remark.
How should Emperor Qing respond?
Laugh, for in the Golden Palace, all discussions concern matters of national importance, and laughter would seem unserious.
If you don't laugh, the joke is already blatantly obvious, so it seems difficult to hold back your laughter.
As he thought about it, Li Chengze almost couldn't help but laugh.
Because those absurd fantasies in his mind actually became reality.
If he hadn't been worldly-wise, he probably would have burst out laughing in the imperial court.
Li Chengze maintained the original owner's composure and endured until the end of the court session before rushing back to the palace.
Recalling the scene that unfolded in the imperial court, Li Chengze finally couldn't help but touch his forehead and chuckle softly.
"Oh no! What are we going to do now?"
Li Chengze never imagined that he would be troubled by not being able to stop laughing in another world.
I originally thought that after coming to this world, I would face serious political struggles and complex power games, but I never expected to have to deal with these ridiculous scenes.
The original owner probably grew up in this kind of environment, and the absurd behavior in the court was just part of daily life, so he didn't feel that anything was wrong. He even found himself laughing unintentionally.
However, Li Chengze was genuinely unable to adapt to this absurd atmosphere for the time being.
It seems he needs to go through the original owner's memories again to adapt to this atmosphere as soon as possible.
He can rectify this trend after he takes office.
Having made up his mind, Li Chengze carefully reviewed the original owner's memories again that day.
What if I still want to laugh?
Let's flip through it again!
Still laughing!
Flipping through!
laugh!
翻！
……
By the end, Li Chengze finally stopped laughing.
But what replaces it is an awkward feeling that makes one's toes dig into the ground.
It's that awkward feeling when someone tries their best to make you happy, but you find that the jokes aren't funny, and even make you feel uncomfortable.
Worse still, for various reasons, you have to force a smile in response.
Finally, Li Chengze stared blankly at the inkstone on the table, and finally gave up on his meaningless actions.
Life is short, why make things too difficult for yourself?
Instead of being bothered by these troubles all day, why not make things difficult for others?
It can not only bring you joy and pleasure, but also help you expand your career.
Thinking this way, Li Chengze decided to find something to do to distract himself.
So he immediately ordered his men to cause trouble for the Crown Prince and create some minor friction.
There was no elaborate plan; it was simply a routine battle with the Crown Prince, both to prevent the Crown Prince from striking first and to lull Emperor Qing into a false sense of security, making him feel that everything was still under his control.
The thought of the Crown Prince's flustered state in a moment made Li Chengze feel a little lighter.
His gaze drifted leisurely through the glass window in front of him, landing on the scenery in the courtyard.
and many more.
Glass window?
Glass!
Li Chengze's gaze suddenly froze, his eyes shifting from the lush trees outside the window to the glass window in front of him.
At that moment, Li Chengze felt as if he had been struck by something, and his heart suddenly raced.
In this world, glass is not a rare thing. Almost every wealthy family uses it to make windows or other things.
But the strange thing is that, given the current level of development in the world, it is not enough to mass-produce glass.
Moreover, besides glass, there were also sugar, soap, eyeglasses, perfume, horse-drawn carriages, and so on.
These things didn't come into being gradually as time progressed; rather, it's as if one day, someone suddenly brought them into the world.
and so--
Li Chengze's eyes suddenly brightened, and his heart pounded wildly.
There is a third time traveler in this world!
Do not!
The author of "Dream of the Red Chamber" has not yet been found, and it cannot be confirmed whether he was a time traveler.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Li Chengze can only identify two time travelers at present: one is himself, and the other is the person who brought advanced technologies such as glass to this world and quietly changed the course of history.
Comparing the time when things like glass appeared, this time traveler arrived in this world at least twenty or thirty years earlier than him, or even longer.
This person has such a great influence on the world, he must not be an unknown person, and he may even be easier to find than the author of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Li Chengze became excited and was about to order someone to investigate, but then he realized something.
Previously, he had sent people to find the author of "Dream of the Red Chamber," and he could also say that it was because he liked the book and wanted to meet the person who could write such a wonderful book.
However, items such as glass and sugar were controlled by the imperial court and were an important source of the court's economy.
If we rashly go to find that mysterious person, it will easily arouse Emperor Qing's suspicion, making him think that we have rebellious intentions.
Although that is indeed the case, it would be best not to attract Emperor Qing's attention.
Li Chengze suppressed his excitement, and after careful consideration, ordered his men to secretly search for all records related to glass and other materials, as well as information about the person who originally created it.
He expected that information about these things should be readily available.
After all, such a novel and practical thing has suddenly emerged in this era. Although it is expensive and not everyone can afford it, it is still quite common, and there should be quite a few people who know about it.
To their utter surprise, after half a month, they found nothing except the name 'Ye Qingmei'.
Even the person's gender, age, residence, family relationships, and even whether they are alive or dead, are all completely unknown and cannot be known.
How can this be?
That person possessed so many novel things and had such a great impact on the world; he could not possibly be an unknown individual.
Besides, his spies weren't useless; how could they not have discovered the slightest clue?
too weird!
It's really weird!
