The melodious song echoed in this wilderness, drifting with the autumn wind, drifting farther and farther.

The kneeling leaders on the ground couldn't understand the style of the song, but they could understand the goodbye in the song.

They sang along with Chen Ke.

"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green."

"The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain."

........

"The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered."

"Life is a rare reunion, but there are many separations."

On the tower of Linzi County in the distance, Tian Cheng, Wei Xin, Yu Que, Fan Muye, Huo Shi and others stood there, looking at the chariots that were far away on the road.

There was a little hope in everyone's eyes, with a little emotion.

"For the sake of the official, it is what the "gentleman" wants."

Huo Shi's voice was full of emotion, he was a Confucian in the past, and what he pursued was also Confucianism.

Although he received the education of Baijiagong, Baijiagong did not force people to change their "major" thinking.

It's just a matter of letting everyone take care of the rest.

Therefore, the highest standard of virtue he pursues is still "gentleman".

Tian Cheng, Wei Xin, and Yu Que looked at Chen Ke's back, but what they said was different from Huo Shi.

"The people can use the law and can respect the law, and what the governor does is the supreme pursuit of a legalist."

"The embodiment of the law is nothing more than this."

"In this Penglaizhou, the law of the governor is the law that can reassure the people, and it is also the embodiment of the law of Qin."

Most of what the three of them learned in their lives was the thought of Legalism, and what they sought in the Baijia Palace was also the education of the "Law Palace".

Therefore, from what Chen Ke did, what we see is the embodiment of "law" and the implementation of law.

Fan Muye also had a different opinion on this, he looked at Chen Ke and said, "You have only seen the governor's "for", but not the governor's "for."

"The Governor's 'not doing' is actually some kind of "doing."

He said with emotion: "Lao Tzu often said that everything has its own natural law, and the best way for us to deal with it is to go with the flow."

"After the Governor came to Penglai, he did nothing but cut off some branches that affected the normal life of these leaders."

"Isn't this the embodiment of the Tao?"

"Heaven is constant, and the governor is the way."

Several people glanced at each other, and they all laughed when they heard each other's descriptions.

Different people have different Chen Ke in their eyes, and they all feel that Chen Ke is in line with the path they are pursuing.

And this is precisely Chen Ke's own path.

It is different from the pursuit of Legalism, Taoism, and even Confucianism.

At this time, on the road, Chen Ke's chariot was driving slowly, and the people on the side of the road were all looking at the chariot.

Fusu looked at this scene, only feeling happy in his heart.

The year that his teacher came to Penglaizhou was not in vain....

Isn't it the best reward for the people to remember the teacher and spontaneously thank the teacher?

"What a teacher does is really what an "official", a "gentleman", or even a superior person should do."

Chen Ke sat on the chariot, and the chariot had already driven out of the place where the leaders of the Qianqian gathered the most.

….

But he still felt a little sad.

Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and it coincides with autumn parting.

In this year of Penglaizhou, isn't it a year of joy in Chen Ke's heart?

Some things that can't be implemented in Xianyang City at all have been gradually implemented, as long as the people of Penglaizhou can continue to implement them steadily, why not succeed you?

This is the first place where he actually ruled!

Seeing the sadness on Chen Ke's face, Fu Su said with a comforting face, "Teacher

Why bother?"

"Won't you be able to come back after sunset?"

"It's not that I'm not coming back."

Chen Ke shook his head, he looked at Fusu and said, "Penglai can indeed come back, but it is not certain how long he can continue to stay."

He sighed and said, "Your Majesty asked me to come, in fact, to spill these things and clean up the clan by the way."

"Now that the clan has taken the bait, I'm afraid that my days in Penglai are short."

Chen Ke estimated in his heart and said, "Come back after the year, that is, you can stay until around July and August."

"Then Your Majesty will call me back to Beijing."

When Fusu heard this, there was some silence on his face, in fact, it was not just Chen Ke who was reluctant to be here?

He can't bear to be here.

However, he still forcibly cheered up and said, "Teacher, isn't it good to go back to Xianyang City?"

Fusu said jokingly: "In Xianyang City, you can still continue to implement the teacher's policy, and you don't need the teacher to be so busy."

"And I was able to meet some of the teacher's old friends."

He looked at Chen Ke and said, "The teacher is not happy in Penglaizhou this year, is he?"

"In Penglaizhou, there are few people who are familiar to teachers, and there are few people who can make teachers open their hearts."

"I have a lot of government affairs to do, so I can't serve with my teachers."

"After returning to Xianyang City, the teacher can occasionally drink with General Wang, discuss with Prime Minister Li Cheng, and even tease Brother Hai."

"Discuss government affairs with my father."

"Isn't that fun?"

Chen Ke was slightly silent, his eyes looking at the distant sky.

If you can fly freely in the sky, who wants to sit still in one place?

In fact, he himself was hesitating in his heart.

If he insisted on being in the place next year, the First Emperor would not say anything.

Even he himself was able to live better.

But is that really the case?

He has not yet set foot in the vast and vast Great Qin world, and the world has not yet been able to be unified, he himself ...... Can you nest in this corner of Xianyang City with peace of mind?

Chen Ke's silence made Fusu a little confused, he didn't understand his teacher's thoughts.

It's just that he can feel the hesitation in the teacher's heart: "Teacher, why are you hesitating?"

"In Daqin, whatever you want to do, you just do it."

He said with relief: "Father supports you, I will also support you, with Daqin as your background backer, what else do you have to worry about?"

Chen Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Fusu didn't understand the hesitation in his heart, but he couldn't tell the reason for his hesitation.

….

He is not a person who can fight and likes to struggle.

But he has a lofty wish in his heart to soar into the world and show his ambitions.

Struggle and aspiration are mutually exclusive.

Chen Ke couldn't help but whisper: "It's difficult to walk, it's difficult to walk, it's divergent, where are you today?"

He sighed, but he couldn't say the words that followed, "There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea".

.........

Zhangtai Palace

Ying Zheng, Wang Qian, and Li Si sat together with a slight smile on their faces.

There weren't many people around the three of them who were serving.

They sat together in a relaxed atmosphere, like a few friends getting together.

Ying Zheng said with some emotion: "Wang Jian and Li Si, before Chen Ke came out, how long had it been since we had drunk together so easily?"

Li Si was in a half-drunk and half-sober state at this time: "Your Majesty, it's been about ten years."

Ten years.

How many decades can there be in life?

Wang Jian was also quite emotional: "If it weren't for Chen Ke's boy, I'm afraid we wouldn't have such a time in our lives, right?"

"Your Majesty's majesty is getting deeper and deeper, and even a glance at Your Majesty's ministers will have fear in their hearts."

"How can it be so easy and casual?"

Ying Zheng sneered, "You old thing, you just like to push this matter on me."

"When you wrote to me asking for women, money, and treasures, why didn't you say that my majesty was deepening day by day?"

"When you were old and still had trouble with Li Xin, refused to go out of the mountain, and asked me to find you in person, why didn't you say that my majesty was deepening day by day?"

Wang Jian just smiled, like an old man.

"Your Majesty said this, at that time, Your Majesty was not the emperor of the ages, but the king of Qin."

He picked up his glass and took a sip, "At that time, how can it be compared to now?"

Wang Jian recalled the events of that year, but said, "Over the years, the minister has been worried, all the foreign enemies are gone, is it the minister's turn?"

He shook his head: "But fortunately, there is Chen Boy out."

Wang Jian was a little silent: "Chen Xiaozi's credit is very great."

Li Si also said, "Yes."

Ying Zheng glanced at the two of them, with a disdainful smile on his face, "I know what you want to say."

"In the year that Chen Ke went to Penglaizhou, what he did was indeed to the point where he could be rewarded."

"I just want to keep it for now."

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "When Chen Ke has completely dealt with the matter of Penglaizhou and returns to Xianyang again, he can be rewarded."

"You can't escape the position of a county candidate or a county uncle."

Li Si laughed: "Your Majesty's reward, I'm afraid it will be rewarded in the heart of this kid Chen Ke."

"If he is rewarded with an additional official, he may be unhappy."

Wang Jian also said teasingly: "This kid knows how to be lazy all day long, how long can we old things occupy this position?"

He pointed at Li Si and said, "Let's just say that Li Si has been doing it for more than ten years at most."

….

He pointed to his nose again, "I'm an old thing, and now my bones are barely moving."

"After all, I have to abdicate and make way for Xian."

"At that time, will that kid Chen Ke still be able to escape?"

At this time, Ying Zheng's body faded away, and he carried a little female dry smile, like a child who suddenly attacked and intimidated his friends.

"It's not just you, I'm getting older every day."

"Chen Ke, that dog thing says every day that there is no way to live forever, thinking that he hid his words tactfully, who can he deceive with his look and pretence?"

Ying Zheng smiled disdainfully, "Why do I pursue immortality?"

"Isn't it because I feel that no one in the world can suppress it except me?"

"If I pass away, what will happen to this world?"

"And now, Fusu has gradually grown up, and even Hu Hai and Jiang Lu have begun to grow up."

"What else do I have to worry about?"

He smiled and touched his chin: "Fusu is still his apprentice, you said that when Fusu becomes the emperor, can he still help?"

"That kid from Fusu, now that he has lost his pedantic sourness, he has become more and more feminine and cunning, and more and more like the emperor."

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all thought out of thin air that after Fusu ascended the throne, Chen Ke became the prime minister, busy to death, and looked helpless in the yamen of the official office.

There was another burst of laughter.

"Hahahahaha

Li Si even gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Chen's body, although it is no longer good, it will be hard to survive until that day

！」

"I want to see with my own eyes that kid Chen Ke handles government affairs all day long, and he can't rest for a day!"

"Hmph"

........

On the way back to Beijing

"Ahh

"Ahh

Chen Ke sneezed twice in a row, and he rubbed his nose with a blank look on his face.

Fusu beside him looked at Chen Ke a little nervously: "Teacher, but you have a cold?"

Chen Ke shook his head, looked at Fusu and said, "It's not like I'm catching a cold, it's like someone is thinking about me and scolding me."

He said self-deprecatingly, "In my hometown, if I sneeze, someone will scold me."

"I just don't know, who is scolding me?"

There was a hint of anger in Fusu's eyes: "Insulting the teacher?"

"When I get to Xianyang, I will definitely ask my father to give an order and let the people from Heibing Platform check it!"

"I'm going to deal with that man severely!"

........

The winter of the second year of the First Emperor came quickly, and December was approaching in the blink of an eye.

Leaders all over the country were preparing for the New Year in a month's time, and everyone was elated and had hope in their eyes.

Among them, the people of Xianyang City and Penglaizhou are the most excited.

One is the capital, the other is the first "state", the development is good, and the living standards of the Qiantou in these two places are generally a little higher than the normal Qiantou.

With the cold wind of autumn and the first snow of winter, a chariot drove slowly outside Xianyang City.

This chariot was strange, unlike the others, it had a lot of cloth on it, and it was firmly covered.

It's like a small, moving house.

The wind of the cold wind could not blow into it, and the people in it could not see outside.

In this way, the chariot entered Xianyang City in a low-key and peaceful manner.

And the officers and soldiers in charge of verification at the city gate were also polite to him, and he couldn't help but wonder if there was any big official who had returned.

As the chariot entered the city, several people at the gate of the city headed in the direction of the palace.

When the chariot came to the gate of the Chen Mansion, in the palace, there was also a chariot quietly driving out.

........

Chen Ke stood in the courtyard after a long absence, looking at the scenery in the courtyard, and his face was full of joy.

He stretched out his hand and looked at the snowflakes drifting in the sky.

"The snowflakes in Xianyang City are a little different from the snowflakes in other places."

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter at the door.

"Chen Qing, what is the difference between the snow in Xianyang and the snow in Penglaizhou?"

"Can you talk to me?"

Chen Ke turned around and saw the First Emperor Yingzheng standing in the distance in a dark robe, with a slightly kind expression.

He smiled dumbly, "Your Majesty, the minister will tell you about it."

ps: It's hard to roll, end.

What should I do if I was asked by the First Emperor at the beginning? .

Sweet and sour workers
