Chapter 821: Farewell (II)
"Why on earth am I doing this?"
Huang Zhengyuan muttered and repeated Xu Rui's words, a look of confusion first appeared in his eyes, and then he regained his firmness, laughing and said, "What else can there be?" Of course, it's just that each is his own master! β
"To each his own master?"
Xu Rui frowned: "You are also a spy of the Southern Dynasty?" β
Huang Zhengyuan nodded: "If I say that it is the royal blood of the Southern Dynasty, will the Hou Ye be surprised?" β
Xu Rui shook his head: "Your city is too deep, and I don't even notice it when I get along day and night, it is enough to see how powerful you are, and now you say that you are the king of heaven and I also believe it." β
Huang Zhengyuan chuckled, waved his hand and said: "Hou Ye doesn't have to be so ridiculous, since Hou Ye gave him a chance to speak, then it doesn't hurt to talk to Hou Ye below."
In the next is the first emperor's blood, but the mother concubine fell into the palace fight, was beaten by the emperor's brother into a rebellion, and was also convicted in the next, fortunately met the prince, he stole the day, and arranged the next to live in the Northern Dynasty.
Originally, this may have been just the mercy of the prince, but he couldn't forget the revenge of his mother's tragic death, which was to seize the power and let those guys with blood on their hands pay for their blood debts.
Therefore, he will study hard, gain fame, approach His Royal Highness King Yu, and try to take revenge through his hands.
However, I didn't expect my brother to be overwhelmed, so he launched a coup d'Γ©tat first, wanting to murder the prince, and the end was naturally given death by the prince.
The enemy in the lower part of the country died like this, so that the lower part was a little at a loss, so he had to take the collapse of the Northern Dynasty as his own responsibility to repay the prince's life.
Hou Ye knew the rest of the matter, and he did everything in the next, but he didn't expect to be betrayed by the prince and into the hands of Hou Ye.
Although I don't know what the prince is planning, this life is given by the prince, so I should return it to him today. β
After speaking, Huang Zhengyuan walked to King Yu's corpse and said lightly to Xu Rui: "Master Hou, do it." β
Xu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed and said, "You are also a character, but it's a pity ......"
After speaking, Xu Rui suddenly took out a pistol and pulled the trigger on Huang Zhengyuan's head.
With a "snap", Huang Zhengyuan's head blossomed, and he fell on Liu Yi's grave like King Yu.
Xu Rui put away the pistol, walked straight to the grave, knelt down without thinking, and knocked his head three times at the short part.
"Father-in-law, the child has avenged you, and the child promised to return to you Dawei will not break his promise, you can rest in peace under the nine springs, forgive the child for being unfilial, the child still has important things to do, your new grave funeral, the child may not be able to attend......"
Xu Rui looked at the parting head, his eyes were full of tears, and after muttering this sentence, he kowtowed three more times.
Zhong Qingyuan's men and horses followed Xu Rui all the way, but they did not follow him up the mountain, and when he came to the foot of the mountain, he knew the purpose of Xu Rui's trip, so he simply let his men and horses stop and wait for Xu Rui to come back on the side of the road.
After more than half an hour, Xu Rui's men and horses finally returned, and they were not the slightest surprised to see Zhong Qingyuan and his party, and they didn't even put on any defensive posture, as if they were two caravans meeting on the official road, ready to stagger.
On the return trip, Xu Rui did not take the car, but chose to ride a horse, and happened to pass by Zhong Qingyuan, as if he did not see Zhong Qingyuan, let alone say hello.
"Master Hou!"
At the moment when he passed by, Zhong Qingyuan gritted his teeth, took the initiative to hug his fist at Xu Rui, and called out.
Xu Rui pulled the reins of the horse and stopped, and with his movements, the whole team stopped.
"General Zhong has something to say?"
Xu Rui slowly turned his head and looked at Zhong Qingyuan.
At this moment, Zhong Qingyuan only felt an invisible pressure, as if he was about to bend him over, as if the person in front of him was not Xu Rui, but an angry lion.
Zhong Qingyuan was shocked in his heart, this was the first time he faced Xu Rui's true heart, how could he have imagined that this young man in his early twenties in front of him would have such a terrifying momentum.
However, Zhong Qingyuan is a famous general after all, and he was only stunned for a moment, so he immediately put that momentum behind him, hugged his fists and said: "There is a question that I can't figure out, so I came to ask Master Hou." β
Xu Rui arched his hand towards Zhong Qingyuan and said, "Don't dare, what's the problem, it's okay for General Dan to say!" β
Zhong Qingyuan nodded and said, "Dare to ask what means the Hou Ye used to make my prince make such a big concession?" β
Xu Rui smiled and said, "Why don't you ask your prince about this?" β
Zhong Qingyuan hesitated slightly, as if he had some scruples, but after a moment of silence, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "There has always been a feeling of nothingness in the future, and the prince doesn't seem to care about the merits of the war at all, or even ...... Don't even care about the world! β
Xu Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he took a good look at the opponent in front of him, and said with a long sigh: "Does the general love this world?" β
Zhong Qingyuan nodded: "Of course!" β
Xu Rui also nodded and said, "Since this is the case, no matter what other people's attitudes are, the general should take good care of this world."
People are also amazing creatures, they always think that the values they adhere to are correct, but in fact, no one can convince anyone, compete with them, or forcibly persuade the other party how to do what they want.
It's not about proving to anyone you're right, it's just about living up to everything you love and believe in. β
Zhong Qingyuan was shocked when he heard this, suddenly looked at Xu Rui, and asked: "It is said that Hou Ye is an immortal in the sky like Wang Ye, and the last general wants to ask, Hou Ye, do you care about this world?" β
Xu Rui was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhong Qingyuan with a smile and said, "What do you say?" β
Zhong Qingyuan nodded: "Just avenge Liu Yi for you, and desperately save the decline of Great Wei, the last general will think that you love this world." β
Xu Rui smiled, patted Zhong Qingyuan's shoulder gently, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and walked forward slowly.
Zhong Qingyuan looked at Xu Rui's back, and did not withdraw his gaze, as if he was pondering something.
On the last day of November of the twentieth year of Hongwei, the army of the Southern Dynasties returned to the south, and Cao Siyuan led his men and horses to follow all the way, responsible for retaking the vast territory occupied by the Southern Dynasties.
On the same day, three shocking news came out in Changxing City.
The first is that Princess Qixia Zhao Xiuying held an enthronement ceremony in the palace, becoming the first and only empress since the Han Dynasty.
The second was that Xu Rui proposed a new political system, a constitutional monarchy, and the first constitution of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Wei Dian, was promulgated, declaring that the emperor would share power with cabinet members as the highest decision-maker in the country.
Members of the Cabinet are elected, and every citizen of the Empire who has been taxed for more than three years has the right to vote and be elected, and all future bills will be passed by a majority in the Cabinet before they can be submitted to the Emperor for final decision.
Although Xu Rui's constitutional monarchy still had many flaws from the perspective of another world, it greatly improved the status of merchants, and it is foreseeable that the industrial and commercial base he left behind would be greatly developed.
In addition, there is an even more shocking news, Xu Rui was elected as the first cabinet speaker, but he was absent from the enthronement ceremony of Princess Qixia, because he wanted to retreat to hit the bottleneck of the martial saint, and the power of the speaker was temporarily replaced by Vice Speaker Yuan Zixiong.
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was jubilant, and the Great Wei will not only have a new future, but also have a young martial saint again, which is bound to turn into a butterfly and become the strongest country in the world.
After the lively crowd, Princess Qixia, who had just ascended the throne, stood alone on the palace wall in the night, staring at the northeast from afar.
At the end of her sight, a Xuanyuan chariot was slowly leaving the city, and Xu Rui, who was wearing a hat, was also staring at his beloved through the car window.
