Chapter 199: It's hard to do both

He found Luoli and Zhuqi, and at the same time, Emperor Chu has been asking him to marry Nian Sixue as soon as possible to stabilize the Nian clan.

That night, he did not sleep, and sat in the pear orchard all night.

Motionless, watch the pear blossoms fall slowly.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the feet of his robe and the placket of his robe were dyed with dew like pear blossoms.

The whole person froze and stiffened, his face turned pale, and he didn't care at all. Xi Shu leaned against the pear tree and slept all night, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Feng Chen was still in the same posture and expression as before he fell asleep, without the slightest change.

"Prince, you haven't closed your eyes all night?" Xi Shu looked at Feng Chen in surprise.

The morning sun lazily sprinkled among the pear trees, leaking a few traces on the maple dust.

Xi Shu spoke before Feng Chen came back to his senses and looked at Xi Shu. After sitting all night, I felt a little stiff in my neck when I turned my head.

"Let's go, enter the palace, and restore the holy order." When he said this, the fog in his eyes was hazy, as if he had made some decision, but he wanted to hide the uneasiness and sadness in his heart.

He was on his feet, a little unsteady, and Xi Shu took two steps over to support him.

He waved his hand, gently pushed Xi Shu away, frowned lightly, and walked straight out of the pear orchard. Xi Shu looked at the figure he left, but in the bright morning light, he was so lonely.

Maple thought about it all night, and he knew he had to move forward.

Even though he is quite indifferent to emotional matters, he also understands that if he marries Luo Li and Nian Sixue, the relationship between him and Xi Wei will be affected and will change.

Perhaps, she will be sad too. So he hesitated, uneasy, hesitated.

But he finally made up his mind that he had to move forward.

She accepted the pears and also accepted Nian Sixue.

He pretended not to know that the pear was the pear, and he pretended not to kill Zhu Qi.

He also pretended not to favor Sivi. Carefully balance everything.

He sensed that, gradually, Xiwei was deliberately distancing herself from him, and she became more reserved than before when she saw her. She had some struggles in her heart.

Fengchen didn't explain anything, nor did he express his thoughts. Because he knows that if he accepts the pear and the year Sixue, Xiwei will be sad and disappointed. I just did something wrong, and what is there to explain.

Even if you have your own last resort, even if you have your own mission. However, after all, he made his own choice, killed Zhu Qi, and accepted the pear.

When he saw her, he felt guilty. Slowly, he wanted to care for her from afar, and when time made everything acceptable, he would approach her again.

He also believes that when he fulfills his wish to unify the world. When the country is prosperous and the people are safe, she will definitely understand herself, and at that time, he can also live according to his own wishes and love the people he wants to love.

Emperor Chu had a will before his death, one wanted Feng Chen to seal Si Xue as the queen, and the other wanted Feng Chen to complete the unification of the world. Emperor Chu also told him that as an emperor, he may be omnipotent in the eyes of the people of the world, have supreme rights, and stand at the pinnacle of everyone's admiration. However, the emperor is a human being, with the same seven emotions and six desires, but he is always expected to be a god by the world.

Standing on this high place has much more to sacrifice than ordinary people. Emperor Chu said that he once loved Fengchen's mother very much, but he had to make a choice at that time. This was his sacrifice. But without those sacrifices, it would be difficult to exchange for the prosperity and peace of the Chu State.

A generation of emperors with unparalleled scenery, when they are dying, they are full of old tears, and what they miss is only the uneasy feeling when they were young. Without the courage to guide the country, without the arrogance to scold Fang Xuan, he is just an ordinary old man who is about to die.

Maple Dust knelt beside him and listened to him finish that. But in the end, he still wants to make Nian the queen by himself and fulfill his last wish to dominate the world. Fengchen didn't have time to ask, if you could choose again, would you choose to confront the world and be a fairy couple with your mother, or still choose to sit alone at the top of power and cling to that long-cherished wish that has not been fulfilled for a lifetime.

He couldn't hear Emperor Chu's answer, but Emperor Chu chose a good path for him.

Ascending to the throne, Fengchen began the long trek.

The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to attack the Wei state. Royal Driver's Expedition. It's still effortless, and the victory is thousands of miles away.

Behind this effortless work, there is a lot of work at the desk all night, planning the layout day and day, and a few strands of gray hair on the sideburns. However, outsiders can't see these, they can only see the birth of myths, and they just want to listen to the legends in myths.

But in the final analysis, Fengchen did it, and captured the Wei State in the right time, the right place, and the people.

Before this war, Feng Chen vaguely felt that the Nian family was huge, and no one in the court could balance it. But at that time, the first emperor was still there, and he relied on Nian's very much. As the new emperor ascends the throne, he must rely on his old ministers to stabilize the power of the DPRK and China.

However, after the battle with the Wei State, the momentum of the Nian clan's power towards the government and the opposition became more and more obvious. Feng Chen cultivated Jin Yuwei when he was still in the Prince's Mansion, and before the battle, he had already sent Jin Yuwei to secretly investigate Nian Yong and Nian Sixiao.

Fengchen had also heard about Xiao Zhi before, so he also sent Jin Yuwei to follow up and investigate. So in fact, when Xiao Zhi was arrested and put in prison, Feng Chen had already figured out the truth of Xiao Zhi's case.

After fighting with Wei and winning a great victory, Feng Chen rode a fast horse and was escorted back to Chu by Jin Yuwei. The intention is to bury the thread layout, and stretch out his hand to Nian Sixiao.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is to cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey. However, imperial power has always been paved with blood, either you die or I die. How can he really be a benevolent emperor, and he can still sit back and relax, keep the country peaceful, and protect the peace of the people.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to do both.

On the day when Xi Wei was a prisoner on the street, Fengchen did not steal half a day of leisure, and met them when he was enjoying the warm colors of the world in a high-rise building. Instead, he was waiting there early in the morning for Xiao Zhi's prisoner car.

The road that Fengchen has to take does not allow him to have a half-day of leisure. It is even more impossible for him to see the injustice and draw a knife to help.

Every step he takes, it must be precise and in place. In order to make this high-rise building, flat from the ground, no accident.

Xiwei's appearance surprised him. But he knew that when she was in Yan Kingdom in the past, she would go out of the palace to play, and he also knew that she had the habit of helping each other. It's just that later, after she came to the Chu State, she became cautious and followed the rules, and she never did that.

Although it was unexpected, it was reasonable.

On that day, Fengchen asked Xiwei: "Since you came out secretly, why don't you keep a low profile and stop the prisoners?" ”

Xi Wei replied: "I see him familiar, and I think he is an old man from his homeland, Zhuqi." Fang stopped it. ”

Maple dust was stunned. Zhu Qi is already dead.

He killed him, and Xiwei didn't know it. He had a momentary weakness in his heart, and if she knew about it, she would be very sad. So he didn't ask about it again.

On that day, he and Xi Wei returned to the palace in a carriage.
