I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 133 The Butterfly Effect

After Wei Canghe came back, he found Chang Ningchen and said that he liked broadcasting and hoped that Chang Ningchen could help them.

Chang Ningchen asked the radio several times, and the radio said that it was Wei Canghe who was pestering him and he just wanted to pursue his career.

This doesn't count as a two-way relationship! Chang Ningchen comforted Wei Canghe and said, "You have to take your time with relationships, don't be so anxious..."

Wei Canghe said somewhat unhappily, "Didn't Your Majesty give the radio to me first? It's just a small item. Could it be that Your Majesty has deeper feelings for him than for me?"

Chang Ningchen stared at Wei Canghe blankly and said, "The radio isn't an object, it's a person!"

Wei Canghe frowned and asked, "Is he the illegitimate son of some minister?"

Chang Ningchen had not yet investigated the background of the broadcaster, but he found him in the list of slaves in the palace, and his background should not be good. Thinking of this, Chang Ningchen shook his head.

Wei Canghe looked at Chang Ningchen and said, "I will not snatch something that Your Majesty does not want to give it to me." After that, he left.

Chang Ningchen sat in the room looking at the gorgeous room, recalling his conversation with Wei Canghe and feeling a little uncomfortable. The lives of common people were not that important to them, the nobles.

The bored Chang Ningchen went back to find Lian He. In this world, Lian He was different from the others. He usually would not come to see him, and Lian He would not coax him when they met alone. Chang Ningchen felt quite relaxed when getting along with Lian He.

Lian He saw Chang Ningchen coming back with a droopy head, and he asked curiously, "Is that Master Guang okay?"

Chang Ningchen sat on the chair and replied, "He's fine, but Wei Canghe took a fancy to him... Alas... They think common people are like gifts. I can't understand it."

Lian He looked at the depressed Chang Ningchen and said, "Because of their different positions, different education, and different people. Those dressed in silk and satin are not silkworm breeders. Common people are like one of countless silkworms. As long as the silkworm breeder arranges their lives well, they just spin silk. That is their value."

Chang Ningchen looked at Lian He and asked, "Is there a way to crack it?"

Lian He looked at the book in his hand and said, "The rules are already set. If you want to change them, you have to break them."

This is why every dynasty will be overthrown by another new dynasty at some stage. What's more, his country has not yet completed unification, and there are many other countries around him who are eyeing it covetously.

I can't possibly revolutionize myself again, can I?! Chang Ningchen held his head and banged his head on the table. Why did the plot always turn around when he became a tyrant and started mobilizing the masses to start a revolution?

The system couldn't help but complain: "Maybe you want to overthrow such a country in your heart."

Chang Ningchen howled inwardly, "Ahhh! I really want to do this! But I'm the emperor of this country! Isn't this like standing on the ground and pulling at your hair to pull yourself off the ground?!"

"Your Majesty is with the young marquis!"

Qiu He's voice came, and Chang Ningchen looked up and saw Qiu He and asked in surprise, "Why is the Prime Minister here?"

Qiu He looked at Lian He and said, "Your Majesty has been out for too long. It's time to return to the palace."

Chang Ningchen looked at the sky outside and said reluctantly, "Okay! Let's go back to the palace!"

After Chang Ningchen left the room, Qiu He looked at Lian He with a warning in his eyes.

Qiu He escorted Chang Ningchen back to the palace. Seeing that Chang Ningchen was unhappy, he handed him some pastry and said, "It's very dangerous for you to be outside the palace. If anything happens, it would be better to call someone into the palace."

Chang Ningchen ate some cheese and said, "I see. Does Qiu He have any ideas for resolving this predicament?"

After this period of contact, Chang Ningchen discovered that Qiu He was also a time traveler, but he did not have a system and was just an ordinary time traveler. The two time travelers naturally formed an alliance.

Chang Ningchen told Qiu He about the subsequent development of the plot. Qiu He felt that it would be more beneficial for them to maintain the current status. Their weapons have been developed almost completely, and by then they will not have to worry about external enemies. The remaining problem will be within the court.

After returning to the bedroom, Chang Ningchen went to sit with the Queen Lin Jiangting. The Queen was not in good health and was always sick. Xiong Chen only treated the Queen as a sister. The Queen wanted to select concubines for Xiong Chen, but Xiong Chen refused. He disliked that there were too many people in the harem and it would disturb Lin Jiangting's recuperation.

Chang Ningchen could see that everyone in the palace treated Xiong Chen as a child, so he followed the rules and had a meal at Lin Jiangting's place before returning to his own palace.

Gaobo stayed with Chang Ningchen. He was diligent and spoke nicely. He was good at talking about interesting things outside, so Chang Ningchen kept him by his side.

Chang Ningchen learned from the radio that glass, soap, and sugar were all controlled by bureaucrats. The Zhang family was now the richest in the capital. Although Zhang Chenhe had taught his family not to bully the weak, there were many members of the Zhang family, and in remote areas they were treated like local tyrants.

Zhang Chenhe's father was a former prime minister, and he became an important cabinet official after completing his studies. On the surface, he and Qiu He seemed to complement each other, but in fact they were two equally powerful forces.

One represented the old clans and bureaucrats, the other the commoners and the new aristocracy. These two classes often clashed, especially when the outflow of glass, sugar, and soap, a large amount of wealth, flowed into the old bureaucrats represented by Zhang Chenhe. The new aristocracy represented by Qiu He was severely oppressed.

After hearing what was said on the broadcast, Chang Ningchen broke out in sweat. The formula he originally wanted to use to make the people rich had actually become a tool for the upper class to seek personal gain. This also led to a difficult situation for Qiu He's side. He hadn't discovered this problem for so long!

Chang Ningchen has been paying close attention to the court during this period. Suddenly, he discovered that not only did Zhang Chenhe dominate the civil service forces, but Wei Canghe also suppressed Ke Baihe's power. The court, which was originally divided into four parts, has now become a two-part state.

This is the butterfly effect! Chang Ningchen regretted not telling Lian He the truth. If he had told Lian He everything he had done, maybe he would have noticed these things earlier, and they could have found a way to deal with them.

After the court session, Chang Ningchen asked someone to invite Lian He to the study. Although Lian He was the Marquis of Zhenbei, it was a hereditary title. Although he had a civil servant job in the court, his job content was basically just doing supporting work.

Chang Ningchen told Lian He about his concerns. He said, "I'm afraid I've done a lot of wrong things..."

Lian He shrugged helplessly after hearing Chang Ningchen's words. This matter could no longer be mediated, and it was difficult to break the deadlock. He said helplessly, "How could Your Majesty be wrong?"

Chang Ningchen was shocked when he saw Lian He's action. He immediately asked, "Dongfang He?"

Lian He blinked and looked around and asked, "What is your majesty talking about?"

Chang Ningchen looked at Lian He's reaction and said somewhat disappointedly, "Nothing."
