It's night.

Inside the deep palace.

Xun Jiayuan stood in the study of the dormitory, and under the bright light, he looked at the watercolor paintings on the wall.

From the beginning to the end, sometimes falling into sighs and sighs, sometimes full of pride, and sometimes dancing with eyebrows.

On that wall, there are portraits of Xun Jiayuan, all of them.

The first one is the scene of Xun Jiayuan's ascension to the throne decades ago, when the treasure was solemn on the throne, ten thousand officials came to the court, Kyushu was unified, and the surrounding countries paid tribute. That year, he was in high spirits.

The second picture is Xun Jiayuan's heroic Shenwu riding on a horse, his eyes flashing with fire, looking at the scene of the Rakshasa people lying in dormanship all over the ground. That year, he was invincible.

The third is a scene of Xun Jiayuan standing on the top of Mount Tai with another person, laughing and pointing to a luminous object. That other person is the president of the National Academy of Sciences, the father of direct current. In that year, direct current came out, and under the governance of Xun Jiayuan, someone led the world from darkness to light. He and the father of direct current declared the world at the top of Mount Tai, and finally Kyushu was one step ahead.

That year, he was full of hope and pride for the future of this country!

In the fourth, he was a little older, wearing a dragon robe and standing on the Jinluan Hall with a cold face, and a yellow-haired man kneeling at his feet. A British ocean-going ship rammed and wrecked a fisherman's boat in Nanzhou. The whole country of Britain was terrified, afraid that Kyushu would send troops to the other continent, and sent envoys to beg for mercy and apologize.

That year, his invincible blood flowed and shook the world.

In the fifth, his sideburns are gray. Sitting on the Golden Luan Palace, a young man appeared on the golden throne next to him. On that day, he was canonized as the crown prince, and his proudest son became the champion of Kyushu and the prince of Kyushu.

That year, he felt old. The future has to be born later.

In the sixth, his wrinkles are all over his cheeks, his hair is completely gray, and he sits honestly on a golden throne, and his golden sword is solemn, but the artist's cleverness paints his dying atmosphere.

That year, it was last year. It was the last painting of Xun Jiayuan's reign of more than 50 years. It is a painting and a posthumous painting that will be hung in the ancestral hall of the Xun clan in the future......

The six paintings record his life, from the heroic and brave spirit of the past to the sunset today.

Am I old?

A voice appeared in Xun Jiayuan's heart.

His face became extremely hideous, and he suddenly roared madly: "The Son of Heaven never grows old! ”

Sigh: "What about the seventh pair? Why is it that there is no longer a seventh painting, and that six paintings can end my life? No, I am the son of heaven, I am the god of this Kyushu, and I will create a glory that will make the world sing again. I am the most powerful person in this world, and I will never grow old. The future does not belong to the afterlife, the future still belongs to me! ”

He used the first person. Didn't say I.

Taking a deep breath, Xun Jiayuan wiped his face, and walked out of the study where no one was allowed to enter as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

He was dying, but he didn't recognize his fate. The future belongs to the afterlife, and the green and yellow will never stop, he doesn't believe it. He believes that he will always be the greatest god in the world, and he will always be the god who stands on the highest place and is praised by the world and supported by the common people from the heart, and he even feels that he can never die.

But I don't know when it started...... It seems that he has never stood on the highest place to be praised by the world again. The fall of God? No.

I don't know when it began, and the people who have been praised by the world seem to be no longer themselves. Have you become a person in the deep palace who has no sense of existence? Don't you even know I exist? Is there no one singing for me anymore? Why is it no longer me who is being sung?

The secret buried in Xun Jiayuan's heart is something that no one in this world will know.

The people could not feel the joys and sorrows of this emperor, the distance was too far.

Only the officials of the DPRK and China will feel as if this once heroic emperor has changed, I don't know where it has changed, I don't know when it started. He began to be jealous, he began to be stubborn, he began to be obsessed, he began to be stingy.

Some people still remember that ten years ago, when the crown prince became the champion, when Xun Tianzi canonized the crown prince on the Golden Palace, the first thing he said was not: My son, my father is proud of you.

Instead, he was afraid that someone would rob him of his merits, and announced to the world: "Son, all your achievements are for the hard work of your father." You must work hard and don't let me down. ”

It seems that he has changed since then, right?

He always felt that he had no sense of existence, and he always wanted to keep announcing to everyone that he was alive, even if no one ever thought he was dead.

"Huh? What did Your Majesty go through? Why does the old slave think that you are suddenly refreshed and full of vitality? ”

The old official who had been waiting outside the study for a long time stepped forward, looked Xun Tianzi up and down, and said.

Xun Tianzi laughed, shook his body and bones, and strode forward: "Okay, you Yuan Cheng, you have to praise yourself when you find an opportunity." ”

The old official smiled: "I really can't hide it from you, you can see what the old slave said so vaguely." Alas, no one else praises me, and I can't praise myself for being as wise as a torch. ”

Xun Tianzi laughed: "Okay, I praise you." Your eyes are bright even in the dark. ”

"That's not it, otherwise how can the old slave see the domineering spirit in His Majesty?"

"Hahahaha."

Xun Tianzi laughed heartily. I appreciate this old official more and more.

casually asked: "Has Li Zhen left Beijing?" ”

"I'm out of Beijing."

"When did you leave?"

"Scattered and left."

Xun Tianzi was silent for a moment, and smiled: "He is not so smart, it is estimated that Xu Shenxue's old gang mentioned him." Okay, since you're gone, the pestle of the province is an eyesore in this Eight Dragons City. ”

The old official Yuan Cheng smiled lightly: "I heard that this champion is very majestic, and he beheaded ten people on the Baqiao." ”

"I know."

"One of them is a guard of the Eighth Prince, and another is ...... It is Du Taiping's sister-in-law. ”

"I know that, too."

Yuan Cheng's face was shocked: "Your Majesty has magical powers." The old slave just spent a lot of money to find out the news he heard, and he came to report to you like a treasure. I didn't expect Your Majesty to know in advance, Your Majesty is really full of magical powers, and he can't hide anything from you. ”

Xun Tianzi smiled proudly: "This is nature. Well, I'm going to continue to study the books from the ancient years, Yuan Cheng, you go and help me review the state songs. ”

Yuan Cheng hurriedly nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty." Alas, the world does not know His Majesty's painstaking efforts. ”

Xun Tianzi sighed with deep understanding and said: "Yes, the ministers of the DPRK and China have constantly advised me to stop being obsessed with the legendary ships that can travel the universe in ancient times. They know a piece of, and I don't even bother to study something infamous. If you want to study, you have to study the peerless science that can break out of the surface of this planet, and shock the world in one fell swoop. Hmph, let the world know that the wisdom of I, the son of heaven in Kyushu, shocks the past and the present. ”

"Yes, the old slave has always believed that His Majesty can always build the kind of ship of the ancients, hehe, when the time comes, you will take the old slave to travel the universe together. You sit in the bow of the boat, and the old slave paddles you. ”

"Inevitably. Now I have some eyebrows, as long as I get rid of gravity, I can fly into the universe. Now I just need to study how to get rid of gravity, and soon, in less than three or five years, I will definitely be able to fly into the universe. By the way, Yuan Cheng, you came to the dormitory after approving the recital, and I drew a drawing of the 'boat' yesterday, and you came to taste it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing Xun Tianzi take a group of people away, a sneer flashed in Yuan Cheng's eyes, he didn't say anything, and happily reviewed it.

I didn't learn to climb, Xun Tianzi wanted to fly.

It's a good thing that scientists have this kind of fantasies, this kind of obsession.

But an emperor has this kind of fantasies, this kind of obsession, but it is the sorrow of the country.

You call him naïve, he has reigned for more than 50 years, so old.

You call him stupid, but he plays the trick of power and empire deeply.

In fact, his problems only come from two factors - conceited and naïve.

The requirements for myself are too high, and I always want to be a god who is praised by the world, but I don't have such a big mind to embrace all rivers and swallow mountains and rivers.

The fantasy things are too far away and beautiful, but they can't see how far the current scientific foundation has developed, but they forget that they are not a scientist, but an emperor who carries the burden of the country on his shoulders.

10,000 years ago, there was an emperor who liked to study carpenter's work and made all kinds of gadgets, but he was too lazy to take care of the government, so when he was in power, the country was sad and all the people were suffering. The country was bruised, and after a few decades, the dynasty was changed.

10,000 years ago, there was an emperor who loved to study calligraphy and painting. His calligraphy and painting can be as famous as Wang Xizhi and others, and he is devoted to calligraphy and painting. So he almost lost his country.

You take responsibility for what you carry......

Few people know that Xun Jiayuan, the emperor, has rarely reviewed and reviewed the folds since five years ago.

Few people know that since five years ago, the operation of this empire has been entirely dependent on Yuan Cheng, an old official who only learned to read and write six years ago......

In Yuan Cheng's residence, the seal of the Son of Heaven was still on the table at will, poked by candlelight, and a piece of music more than one meter high was placed on the shore.

He thinks it's true, and he has to stay up until the early hours of the morning every day.

"Is there another flood in Nanzhou? Alas, why did there be another flood, and I pity the people of Nanzhou. ”

Looking at this piece worriedly, Yuan Cheng couldn't help but cry. After thinking for a long time, he replied on the recital:

"Order, all officials in Nanzhou are waiting solemnly, and the first thing is to rescue the people's property. All the garrisons and government servants in Nanzhou were mobilized to rush to the front line to fight the flood, and they must not be slackened. Priority will be given to the families of the people most affected by the disaster. The imperial court temporarily allocated 100,000 gold coins, and every cent must be used on the people. At present, the national movement is severely punishing corruption. The imperial court will send an inspection team to investigate the whereabouts of every imperial relief payment......"

Organized and steady.

After all, it is an old official who has reviewed the chapter for five years (the official is actually a eunuch, but he is not castrated.) ）

Yuan Cheng, who was beside Xun Jiayuan, was logically a big traitor. But Yuan Cheng was not corrupt in his life, he was not corrupt, and he loved the people like a son. than Xun Jiayuan, the son of heaven in Kyushu, he cherishes the people of Kyushu more.

How ironic.

This is also a great blessing for the country. Yuan Cheng embarked on the same path as Wei Zhongxian more than 10,000 years ago, but he was honest, wise, and long-sighted.

He is not a woman, he is not good at eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he is not interested in money.

He has no interest in power, as evidenced by the fact that he does not develop henchmen.

However, his only hobby is to review the recitals...... He loved the feeling of being in control of the lifeblood of this country.

Oops, it's the kind of soul sublimation that ordinary people can't experience at all. It's that kind of detachment. Oops, I can't say it, it's the feeling that the pores are all open. The feeling of being a god for a moment......

He was very busy until late, and the old official was heartbroken about the operation of the empire.

Xun Tianzi also studied the spaceship very seriously, and this Tianzi was also worried about when mankind would be able to land on the moon.

This is an absurd empire, this is an absurd court. Maybe the two of them switch places, and the country will be better.

'Knock knock'

There was a knock on the door.

Yuan Cheng, who had already fallen asleep, sat up, hurriedly ran to the table, hid all the pieces under the bed, and quickly hid the seal of the Son of Heaven into the pillow, and then hurriedly put it on: "It's here." ”

When I opened the door, there was a handsome young man standing outside.

Yuan Cheng looked behind him and was relieved to see that he was the only one coming.

Yuan Cheng himself also knew that the news of helping the Son of Heaven to review the chapter spread out, so he was sure that he would be cut by a thousand knives tomorrow. The court officials would drink their own blood and eat their own flesh. Don't say anything, he serves the Son of Heaven comfortably, and has the Son of Heaven as a backer. When the matter spread, the Son of Heaven in Kyushu did not dare to protect him, and the Son of Heaven in Kyushu had to say one in order to clear his charges: "It was this traitor who bewitched me." ”

"Eighth Prince, is there anything wrong with this late hour?"

Yuan Cheng smiled calmly.

The Eighth Prince clasped his fists and smiled: "Lord Yuan, dare to ask...... What about Li Zhen and others? Why didn't you stay in the guest hall? The big man with him was gone. ”

Yuan Cheng frowned, and looked at the Eighth Prince with a puzzled face: "Before sunset, Li Zhen had already left Beijing. ”

"What!"

The Eighth Prince snorted loudly, grinning and roaring, "Leaving Beijing? How could it be, how did he go so fast? Did he leave Beijing? ”

"Yes." Yuan Cheng said lightly.

The Eighth Prince immediately had a pair of bloodshot pupils, and his whole body trembled: "This grandson is running so fast, and his nose is so smart." It's so fast, you're just one step away. ”

Yuan Cheng was very well-informed, he naturally knew about the things between these young people, and he didn't want to get involved, so he said indifferently: "Rest early, Eighth Prince, if it's okay, I'll sleep first." ”

"Oh, my Lord Yuan, why didn't you inform me when he left?"

Yuan Cheng was stunned, blame me?

He really wanted to say, why did the old man inform you? But because this is the Eighth Prince, he didn't say that.

"I didn't know you were looking for him. Hehe, the Eighth Prince's blame is unwarranted. ”

"Offended, offended. I'm too anxious, I have no intentions, don't be surprised by Lord Yuan. Alas, good night Lord Yuan. ”

"Rest early."

“……”

After closing the door again, Yuan Cheng sneered and muttered, "Have a virtue with your Lao Tzu." If you don't find problems from yourself for a day, you blame others for everything. Still want to compete for the crown prince? If you become the son of heaven, will you still have it? Alas, the court is not afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past, the most afraid is the younger generation, there is no longer such a loyal, righteous and wise me. ”

Yuan Cheng sighed on his back, and began to break his heart for the empire again, and he didn't sleep all night......
