Chapter 369: Reforms have never had a good ending
"It's really good," Zhang Juzheng nodded.
"It's okay, it's okay," Li Wu shook her head. She was just a little choked. This strong liquor was not suitable for her. She was used to drinking sweet wine, and she felt like her throat was on fire when she drank other liquors.
"That's good, that's good," Wang Anshi nodded, feeling relieved.
"Seniors, please try these delicacies. They are specially prepared for you," said Li Wu.
"Okay, little immortal," Shang Yang was the most excited. He was almost crying for the delicious food from the little immortal.
Who doesn’t love delicious food, right?
If so, it's definitely not delicious enough.
Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng lived in a later dynasty, and they had eaten a lot of delicious food, which was at least much better than that of Shang Yang's time.
Until now, Shang Yang hasn't even learned how to cook.
"It's delicious, little immortal. The delicacies from later times are really delightful," Shang Yang ate very elegantly but his movements were not slow.
I envy people in later generations so much because they can eat so many delicious things. What did he eat before?
Most of them are either boiled or roasted. The taste is not important, as long as they can fill your stomach.
Everyone was short of food. They only had two meals a day and were hungry every day. But everyone was like this, so they got used to having two meals a day.
Being used to it doesn’t mean you won’t be hungry, and there’s no oil or fat in it.
So when Shang Yang ate this greasy, delicious, meaty food, he felt so happy that he felt like popping bubbles.
People in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period should not be too greedy and want to eat too much.
"Senior Shang Yang, I'm glad you like it. Senior Wang Anshi, Senior Zhang Juzheng, you can also eat. You're welcome," Li Wu also ate a little.
"Don't worry, little immortal, we won't be polite," Zhang Juzheng said with a smile, and seemed to have become much closer.
When he doesn't smile, I really don't dare to get close to him. I feel like he's going to teach me a lesson as soon as he opens his mouth.
Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng also started eating, nodded with satisfaction and commented.
It tastes really good, no wonder everyone who came before ate it so voraciously.
The people before were full of questions. They, wolfed down the food? Could they talk? How could they? They were still very polite.
"I heard from the little immortal that you two are also planning reforms," Shang Yang asked. He had also given careful consideration to the reforms.
Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng nodded, "That's right."
"Senior Shang Yang, your reform was very successful and enabled the Qin State to develop rapidly at that time. It's a pity that the ending was not very good. However, since ancient times, how many people who carried out reforms had a good ending? Wu Qi was shot to death by arrows after his reform failed. Senior Shang Yang, you were also torn to pieces by five horses. We all know that no matter whether the reform is successful or not, the results it brings to us are not good," Zhang Juzheng shook his head and looked at Shang Yang and Wang Anshi with some regret.
They naturally knew that reform would affect the interests of too many people, so how could they develop without reform!
Even though they knew their fate, their thoughts never changed.
Wu Qi in Tianmu knew his fate and stood there in a daze. Was he shot to death by arrows from behind?
Wu Qi just smiled bitterly, but his eyes were already red.
The emperors of Qin State were no longer calm and asked in the barrage which unfilial descendant killed Shang Yang.
King Huiwen of Qin did not dare to read the barrage. He was not cowardly, he just followed his heart.
He naturally had his own reasons for killing Shang Yang, and he did not regret killing him.
But seeing that most of the comments were scolding him, he didn't want to refute.
They are not him and do not understand him at all.

"Even if the ending is bad, so what? If you know what your ending will be, won't you change your ways?" Shang Yang asked with a smile. Knowing that he would be torn to pieces by a chariot in the future, Shang Yang felt so chilled for a while.
But knowing the ending, will he change his mind?
No, he will still change the law, and he will never regret it even if the consequences remain the same.
If he doesn't change the law, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Hearing Shang Yang's question, Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng shook their heads without thinking.
As Shang Yang said, even if you know the outcome, you will not change your mind.
"I have the same idea as you, Senior Shang Yang," Wang Anshi said with a smile, and the three of them raised their glasses and drank again.
Respect to myself, and also to the reform trio.
The three of them talked to each other for a while, each of them talked about their own reforms and gave each other suggestions. The conversation was very pleasant.
They simply ignored Li Wu. Li Wu could only eat this thing and listen to their conversation, saying that he didn't understand, he didn't understand.
Many people in front of the sky curtain who wanted to reform or change the status quo also pricked up their ears and recorded their conversations.
It sounds reasonable and can be used as a reference.
"Little immortal, I'm sorry, little immortal, we overlooked you," the three of them were communicating very happily, and they all felt embarrassed when they noticed that Li Wu was not in the mood.
The little immortal shouldn't blame them, right? They were just too excited. They finally met someone who shared the same ideals as them, who was not from the same dynasty and who could never be their rival. How could they not chat for a while?
It is good to listen to other people's opinions.
Li Wu shook his head. "Nothing, nothing. Just be happy, three seniors. It's rare to meet someone you can talk to, isn't it?"
If she meets someone with similar interests, they will chat for at least several hours without stopping.
It's a pity that she doesn't want to meet new people or make friends now.
Real friends were only available in the past. There are no true friends nowadays, and even if there are, there are not many.
The older I get, the less topics I have to talk about, so I don’t have any friends anymore.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Little immortal, I wonder where you will take the three of us to play today?" Zhang Juzheng asked. It would certainly not be good to ignore the little immortal all the time.
They should talk less about the reform and then they can discuss it on the barrage.
"Little immortal, we three old guys can't go to any place that is too exciting," Wang Anshi joked, saying that the three of them were old guys.
Shang Yang and Zhang Juzheng did not refute, as they were indeed not young anymore.
I already have some gray hair, even though I'm only in my forties. I guess I've worried too much.
"I'm not afraid of those exciting things," Shang Yang said, he was not afraid at all.
"I have no objection to going anywhere, let's go and see the little immortal," Zhang Juzheng said that he could go anywhere, and he also wanted to see the future.
The comments also expressed where they wanted to go.
"Ah, me?" Li Wu pointed at himself. "Three seniors, can you go wherever I want to go?"
The three of them nodded. "Of course, you know the world of immortals best, don't you?"
Li Wu smiled awkwardly and said that he didn't quite understand it, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Then keep it secret for now. I'll tell you after I finish telling you about the deeds of the three predecessors," Li Wu said with a mysterious smile.
The three of them felt a chill on their backs. Could it be that someone was plotting against them?
