"Work with heart, the end of the package, not the previous work." 》

Three years had passed since the war, and before that, the Qin had unified the entire continent and brought all nations, races, and every corner of the empire into submission.

At the supreme meeting of the imperial capital, the minister's door was already ready, but there was no twist and turn that the early dynasty had to bring, because at this time any affairs could be left alone.

This was not an early dynasty initiated by the emperor.

With the sound of footsteps, a man dressed in a black and gold-rimmed military uniform walked to the top of the meeting.

This military uniform was so black that it was breathless, as if falling into black water, silence, blindness, fear. And this military uniform can only be worn by one person in the whole world, and one person can bear it, that is, the first commander of the empire, the marshal of the empire.

Recall that three years ago on a hot summer day.

A young girl pestered the Imperial Marshal and watched curiously, occasionally asking questions that made the man bored by her curiosity.

Imperial Marshal: "Hmm... I didn't start the war, it just happened to end with me"

"Why do you keep wearing this dress? My face will never be as serious as my military uniform, and I need this seriousness to cover up my lack of age, and I think you will need it soon."

"What is the most gratifying thing for me? is that your father accompanied me until the last moment of the war," the Imperial Marshal touched the little girl's head and smiled at the Emperor in a wheelchair in the distance.

Back to the present.

The breath in the hall was exceptionally cold, everyone had different thoughts in their hearts, some people seemed to be planning to take this opportunity to do something, and some people were ready to die for their faith, and these causes all came from today, that is, the day when the imperial daughter came of age, and with the last wish of the imperial emperor, the imperial marshal will hand over power to the imperial daughter on this day!

Whether it is interests or righteousness, there are always disputes in the world, whether it is blind faith or the balance of gratitude and retribution.

The formation of two factions is inevitable.

Powerful New School: If there is no marshal, where is the empire? I obey the marshal of the empire! I follow any choice, unconditionally!

Weak old school: The emperor was kind to me, I will never forget it, even if I die, I will never retreat!

The Imperial Marshal asked to the left, "How many years?"

Doctor Yu Shi replied: "Back to the marshal, it's been three years. ”

The Imperial Marshal said, "How about three years?"

Doctor Yushi: "Everything is going well, according to the unification of the emperor and the marshal, there is no problem." ”

The Theory of Imperial Unification: Distinguish History, Unify Currency, Strengthen Culture.

How could there be no problem, it's just that the emperor endured too much. The Imperial Marshal sighed inwardly, and then asked to the right, "How many years?"

The prime minister replied firmly and loudly: "Back to Marshal! Today is the 17th anniversary!"

"Not bad!" the Imperial Marshal laughed, and then asked aloud, "How many years?"

Da Sima replied: "It's been five years."

The Imperial Marshal laughed loudly: "Yes! Five years! It has been more than five years, and I have lived up to expectations." ”

To be a responsible person, tired, to be a responsible reich marshal, even more tired. In just five years, I was confused about myself, and perhaps I was not the right Marshal of the Reich in the first place. I don't have a family burden, I have no desire for power, and what I do in power means nothing to me.

Maybe many people like me, when they force themselves to do things they don't like for five years, they will lose their selves.

The Imperial Marshal took off his heavy military uniform and overcoat, draped it over the chair of the Supreme Council, and said: "Today, the Empress has reached the age of seventeen, honoring the last wishes of the Emperor and officially ascending the throne as the Empress, the supreme ruler of the Empire, and the faith of the Empire. Now all the wishes of the former emperor have been fulfilled, and I have my wishes, I have become a marshal because of the war, and now that the war is over, I have decided to resign from the post of marshal, which is full of my selfishness. In the coming days, I hope you can do your best to help the empress, hope for the empire, and prosper. ”

The hall was silent, this was a result that no one expected, and some people were desperately trying to shout out and protect something, and the enthronement music had already sounded, and the former marshal of the empire had long since disappeared.

No one could veto any decision of the Reich Marshal, even dismissal.

In the third year of the unification of the empire, Emperor Renqing succeeded to the throne and changed the name of the country to Shuai, and set the capital Yang

Three days later, on a clear river, an ordinary man was fishing with a fishing rod in his black everyday clothes without even a pattern, and the fire next to him had long been extinguished, and the man just couldn't catch a fish.

"Well, it's been three days, why can't I catch it?" the man sighed, as if to say to himself, "You're right, I'm not qualified to call you an adjutant now, what should I call you now?" I'm ashamed to say that I don't know your name, it's embarrassing. ”

With a 'brush', a figure jumped down. The pitch-black military uniform, from her feet to her face, wrapped the short-haired woman all the way.

The woman knelt down and asked, "Marshal, why?"

"Have you ever thought that maybe we live in a very beautiful world, but you and I didn't notice it because of the war. "This is the only person who worries about letting the man leave the imperial capital.

The man looked up at the sky and yearned, "I want to take a serious look at the world as a person." Also, I'm just a vagrant now. ”

"Okay, I'm your lieutenant wherever I am. The woman said. She didn't understand what he was thinking, and neither did she want to. She was pulled up from the sea of corpses, as long as he was alive, she could feel at ease.

"I see. "Men understand that women don't have a proper view of the future. The future is one's own, not someone else's, how can one live for others. Then he smiled and said, "Hello, this girl, what is your name?"

The woman was stunned, not knowing if it was because no one had ever said such a thing to her, or because the Marshal of the Iron and Blood Empire who had been on the battlefield would have such a side.

Then he said respectfully: "Thunder"

"Alas. The man looked at the woman who was still respectful, and perhaps wanted her to change, which was much more difficult than himself. She has endured more than she does.

The man clearly knew that Ray, like himself, was very special in the empire, not the original nobleman, nor did he have any desire to have power for the prosperity of the family, nor for his own ideals.

"You can call me by my name in the future, Blackwater"

"Obedience"

"You don't have to be so respectful to me, we're like friends, all the time"

"Obedience"

"Ah, I knew it was going to be like this, do you know how many fish I've caught here these days?"

Of course, Ray knew that from the moment Blackwater sat down until now, he had never left.

"Not a single one. ”

"Then do you know why I can't catch it?"

"I don't know"

"Because I don't have a hook and I don't have bait. Heishui took a deep breath of fresh air, closed his eyes and said: "But here I can enjoy the quiet air here, look at the free fish in the water, watch the dragonflies and butterflies flying around me, I can lie down when I am tired, and I can watch the sunset in the distance in the evening." It's easier than anything else, I can't describe it, but it's so comfortable that I can spend my precious time here. ”

"You know?"

"I don't understand"

Blackwater was speechless, maybe it was really hard for her to understand.

"It's like a fish in the water, I don't need a rod, I can grill it at any time, but I don't do it, can you understand a little bit?"

"Understand, the marshal is the best in the world in terms of force"

"You don't even understand the important point!

"Understood! the same thing you once said to me. ”

"What is the word?"

"I could have killed them all, but that's not the future I want. Ray said, also falling into a fond memory, one night, the Imperial Marshal stood on the highest mountain and pointed to the next target in the distance, this moment, this picture, that is, eternity.

"No!ah, forget it. Blackwater gave up.

"Go to the Empress, I think she needs you so much right now. ”

"Yes!" As soon as the words fell, there was an afterimage.

Heishui looked at the departing figure and thought, I hope that one day you can also take off your heavy military uniform and soar in the free sky.

Set sail!

Heishui returned home and changed into a brand new set of clothes, took his luggage and set off, and the trip began!

On the other side, a brocade pheasant entered the palace unimpeded.

In the palace, Emperor Renqing touched the head of the beautiful brocade chicken, took down the letter, and stretched his waist. "What a gentle man, I want to tell you that being an emperor is so tired and does whatever he wants, but it does not include freedom. ”

Letter: "I'm gone, I hope Ray can understand the meaning of life and find happiness for himself." ”
