Beijing, Army General Hospital, Special Ward No. 1.

It rained all the time.

Outside the window, there is a dripping world, every leaf is busy bathing, and every flower is busy crying.

On the hospital bed, there was a man in his early fifties with gray hair, loose skin, pale complexion, and a tired and fleshy chin...... The boundary between reality and illusion is completely desecrated.

A cold and beautiful woman in her twenties sat on a stool beside the hospital bed in disharmony, holding a huge copy of "The Complete History of the Navy in the Guangxu Period" and browsing quickly, glancing at the man on the hospital bed faintly from time to time, or delicately flicking the beautiful long hair that spread down like silk in her ears.

The man's eyelids on the bed were trembling slightly.

How do you know the way...... Is the end of the world here?

Destroy this world before you destroy it...... Your life is for destruction and self-destruction......

How much time do you have left? Five years? Decade?

Or do you give up and that's it?

So, surrender your life, because life is meaningless......

His eyes widened like a corpse, and the terrifying gaze collided with the faint gaze of the woman beside the bed very appropriately, and both of them couldn't help but tremble.

"You're awake...... Father. Daughter Liu Qianhua bowed her head and said, she didn't dare to face her father at this time.

"When did you come?" Father Liu Yun asked as kindly as possible.

"Aunt Luo brought me here two hours ago...... Is it better? ”

"Well, it's much better......"

Although it was still a nutritious conversation, at least the atmosphere was not so tense. Perhaps, as Luo Sulan said, only when her life and death are uncertain, her daughter will forget her hatred for herself. In any case, being abandoned by her father since she was a child is destined to be branded in her heart with a scar that cannot be erased for the rest of her life.

Liu Yun thought sullenly, and his eyes were faintly blurred again.

"Father, I'm here." A lark-like voice suddenly jumped into the room.

A thirteen-year-old cute girl, a thirteen-year-old bodybuilding boy, a ten-year-old gloomy boy, and a virtuous and beautiful woman about thirty years old all appeared in Liu Yun's blurred vision one by one following the voice.

"Yuchun, Ping'er, hurry, come to my father." Liu Yun happily called Liu Yuchun and Liu Ping, the dragon and phoenix twins, but did not mention the youngest son, Liu Fan.

"You're Chibir, aren't you? I've heard about you, my mother's surname is Ning, you can call me ......" The beautiful woman of about thirty years old smiled and nodded to Qianhua.

In the first second, Qianhua froze, apparently she was not ready to meet her stepmother and her half-siblings, and the next second, she picked up the book and ran out the door, knocking down the woman in a panic.

"You're fine." Qianhua hurriedly helped her up, and after dropping this sentence, she flew away and disappeared.

"This kid has been separated from me for more than ten years, and many things are not used to it, you can be considerate and considerate of her." Liu Yun explained to his wife Ning Chun.

"After all, it's your flesh and blood, how can I not treat her as my own?" Ning Chun, who was beating the back hem of her dress, did not have a gloomy face.

“…… Forget it, she is only six years different from you, I didn't expect her to call you mom, so I had to wronged you. ”

"Everything is arranged by the master."

Who would have thought that such a gentle and virtuous wife would be a spy with unique skills fourteen years ago.

Liu Yun sighed slightly in his heart, and then noticed his youngest son Liu Fan, who was shrinking in a corner.

"Fan'er, come here."

Hearing his father's call, Liu Fan responded with an indifferent expression and moved over in small steps.

"The three of you are honest, when you were in Shanghai, did you not listen to your mother and run around doing bad things?"

"I'll confess!" Daughter Liu Yuchun raised her little hand high, "Once my brother secretly ran to the river to see a foreign warship, I had to follow him in order to keep an eye on him......"

"What, obviously you want to go shopping, but your mother won't take you there, so you just have to grind and pester, and I have to take you out of the city, it's good now, Zhu Bajie is beating a rake, you remember, there will be such a thing in the future, I don't bother to pay attention to you." The eldest son, Liu Ping, snorted angrily, gritting his teeth at his sister's betrayal.

"You two, it's really not worry-free...... Fan'er, what about you? Liu Yun turned to Liu Fan.

"I'm all studying at home, I haven't been anywhere, I can ask my mother if I don't believe me." Liu Fan said seriously.

"Fan'er is the most worry-free, I want to take him out of the house to go shopping, he still doesn't want to, he works hard in the room all day long." Ning Chun nodded happily.

Liu Fan is the youngest son and the most obedient, so he is also the most loved by his mother Ning Chun. Father Liu Yun thought that this child was lifeless and very different from his own personality, so he was a little cold to Liu Fan.

The family reunion after a month of separation lasted only a few minutes.

"It turns out that the lady, son, and young lady are all here, disturbed, disturbed......" The fifty-year-old man who was busy saying useless kind words was Wen Yi.

"You guys go back first, I'm fine now." Liu Yun issued an expulsion order to his family, and he didn't need to ask him to know the purpose of Lu Daowen's coming here - nothing can be claimed to be absolutely important in front of state affairs.

"How's your body? Do you want to learn from me and find a good place to recuperate for a while? Wen Yi said, closing the door of the ward. This special ward, located on the third floor of Building No. 4 of the Army General Hospital, was guarded by a guard detachment led by Liu Yun's personal adjutant Zhang Ziyi in shifts, and only Liu Yun's family, including Qian Hua, and three dignitaries, Wen Yi, Zhang Zhigao, and Yang Zhengjin, could enter directly without notification.

"Maybe, where do you think it's better to go?" Liu Yun motioned for this close friend, who had once been opposed to him, to sit down on the edge of the bed.

"Do you want to go back to Guilin to have a look?"

"Not interested. Forget it, I don't have time to talk to you, I have seen through everything hidden in your stomach, in fact, I know very well in my heart that it is time to choose a successor. Liu Yun's words revealed the helplessness of refusing to admit it but having to admit it.

"Do you feel it too? This can only be explained by the damaging effect of space-time teleportation on the body, in recent years, Niu Jin has often fallen into the hospital, in addition, other comrades are still alive and well, so I thought, you and I plus Niu Jin, when we perform space-time teleportation, we are already in our thirties, and our physical condition is not as good as those young people, and the recovery ability after being damaged is also weaker......"

"I know all this, so I am anxious, I want to see China dominate the world in my lifetime, and I can do whatever it takes to do this...... Can you understand that? ”

After experiencing death in person, the hope of human beings pouring out the truth is simply unstoppable, and Liu Yun is no exception.

"I can understand that, but I'm going to stick to my fundamental position." Wen Yi had a look of life and death in his eyes.

"Well, tell me what you think."

"You are the lifelong leader of the group, and no one can replace you." Wen Yi emphasized.

"And then? What if I die? Liu Yun asked.

"Break down power before you and I lose control."

"Decomposition?"

"Through the constitution, the implementation of the system of veterans and important ministers, the selection of several important figures in the group by the emperor to be crowned as senators, the elders have the power to recommend to the emperor the next prime minister and minister of defense, and are qualified to attend any form of imperial council, at the same time, the senate will control the political, economic and military key points through the group, in fact, to achieve the future people's clique of the control of the country's major affairs."

"Does that mean that the system of the senators should be replaced by the system of leadership?" Liu Yun grasped the key.

"That's right. But I'm worried about one thing. Wen Yi frowned slightly.

"About royalty?"

"You know very well that even among the most conservative royalists, opposition to the Manchu emperor was very popular, and the Manchu-Han confluence was both resisted by the Manchus and considered meaningless by ......the Han Chinese, and with the rise of national consciousness, the fact that the leader of the minority in the country was the monarch has become more and more dissatisfied with the majority of the Han people, and the Manchu nobles, who have been deprived of many privileges, hate us even more."

"The princes and Belles want to kill you, and I don't think it's going to happen overnight." Liu Yun added.

"We have to make a choice."

"Do you want to get rid of that emperor? He didn't do anything bad, and the country was so strong during his reign......"

"Isn't that all our work? If it weren't for us, he would have been locked up by the old witch. Wen Yi smiled coldly.

"So, you want to overthrow the emperor and establish a republic?"

"No, I want to go with the flow and put you on the throne." Wen Yi had a straight face, and he didn't mean to joke at all.

"Then I won't become Sima Zhao?"

"Why can't you be Sima Zhao? In addition to the will of the people, it is completely possible to re-establish the Liu dynasty with the Han people as the monarch after an interval of 2,000 years, and at the same time re-canonize the princes and sects of Manchu, Mongolia, and Tibet into the aristocratic sequence, forming an imperial political system of common respect of the five ethnic groups and a constitutional monarchy, so that national unity can be maintained, and the will of the people can be conformed to the will of the people, the morale of the military can be appeased, and political continuity and stability can be maintained. You will be a monarch who is respected by all five ethnic groups, supported by all walks of life, and abides by the constitution, laying a solid political foundation for future generations, and at the same time you are still the leader of our future group, and it is up to you to decide the differences within the group in private......"

"Wait a minute, a middle-aged man from 2025 returned to the end of the Qing Dynasty but usurped the throne of the Qing Emperor, this kind of plot is too ......"

"This kind of plot came up in a novel I wrote thirty-four years ago." Wen Yi shrugged, not caring about the other party's surprise.
