Zhu Wen was sitting in a sedan chair.

"Quick, fast......"

Zhu Wenzheng urged the sedan chair man to move forward.

I was in such a hurry to go out that I even wore the wrong shoes.

He didn't care about that.

From the very beginning, the day when Princess Yunyang found him and said that she wanted to do business with him.

He had already expected that sooner or later he would stab Lou Zi.

The day has finally come.

To be expected.

Although Zhu Wenzheng had been mentally prepared in advance, when this day really came, he was still a little flustered.

Fluster!

I haven't felt it in years.

He Zhu Wen is in the position and the ministers, and he is used to seeing too many flattering faces in the court, so he is not surprised and is at ease.

thought that he had already put life and death, fame and fortune out of the way.

Fame and fortune are just things outside the body, and they are just dispensable.

His life is a legendary life, from a Confucian to a prince and a prince, a court teacher, and a first-class master...... It took him a lifetime, and he spent a lifetime of energy.

Do your best to take care of everything in your hands.

I really think that my realm has been detached from the thinking of ordinary people.

can't talk about being a faction of his own, but if you want to say that he is a mountain in officialdom and a champion among literati, he Zhu Wenzheng is also well-deserved.

However, it was only from the moment he received the holy order that he wore the wrong shoes in a panic that he suddenly found out.

No matter how high his official position is and how profound his humanistic cultivation is, he is still a mortal.

Living in this red dust, there are too many mortals who he can't let go of and can't let go.

Except for death, his concern and attachment to all this cannot end.

Even he feared death more than mortals.

I am afraid that my official position will not be guaranteed.

I'm afraid that I will fall into Pingyang.

Alas!

With the ups and downs of the sedan chair, Zhu Wenzheng sighed faintly.

Behind him is a large family with lush branches.

There are countless protégés, all of whom are relying on him, and the garden is full of peach and plums.

And he is the rhizome that goes deep into the ground and absorbs nutrients, without him Zhu Wenzheng, everything will be wiped out.

The heart of the emperor, don't speculate.

One thought of joy, one thought of sorrow, one thought of life, one thought of death...... The heart of the emperor is unfathomable.

Emotional shifts are often on the line.

Zhu Wenzheng has a deep understanding of this.

He can't ignore it, he can't open his eyes and not see it.

For too many years, Zhu Wenzheng has infinite scenery in front of people, but when he is alone, there is a loneliness like an abyss that swallows him silently.

Maybe it's because I'm getting old.

The high-spirited self back then has long since disappeared, and he is afraid...... I am afraid that the king will blame, I am afraid that my colleagues will plot, and I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will never recover.

Afraid!

There are so many things that scare him.

Like the stars in a clear night sky, they can't be counted.

He wanted to put an end to it all, and he wanted to return to his hometown.

However, there are too many unwillingness, so that he circulates above the court.

Still moving forward.

I heard the sound of the sedan chair man opening the way loudly.

Zhu Wenzheng listened to the voice of the palanquin man, and suddenly felt that he was so envious.

He wanted the end.

I want to change my lifestyle.

Return to the hometown of the other half of his life, build a hut, plant a few acres of idle land, feed his younger generations, and enjoy the joy of his children and grandchildren.

But ah, all of that is clearly at your fingertips, but it is so far away from you.

He couldn't figure out why this was happening.

What kind of power is it that binds him firmly to this officialdom that is like a wave sweeping away and may capsize at any time.

Alas!

Zhu Wenzheng sighed again.

He looked down at his two funny shoes.

"If you are Qin Tao, then in the face of all this, there will definitely be a way to deal with it, and you won't make a mess like yourself."

Pity!

He is Zhu Wenzheng, not Qin Tao.

Qin Tao has already said that he doesn't want to get involved in officialdom and doesn't want to chase for fame.

I just want to be a carefree little landlord.

Qin Tao's realm is really high.

Remembering that when he was as young as Qin Tao, he seemed to just want to be a big official, his dream became a reality, Shaohua was no more, and looking back on it was like a bubble bursting, endless emptiness.

Let's get past today's hurdle!

Zhu Wenzheng said to himself in his heart, and he also silently prayed to the heavens, let himself retreat in peace!

After today, I will return to my hometown.

It's time.

It's not that there are no capable people in the DPRK who can replace them.

It's that he, Zhu Wenzheng, himself, never allows others to have that ability.

He does not allow others to endanger his position.

Selfish!

It turns out that he has such a selfish side.

The sedan chair stopped.

The sedan body leans forward slightly.

The palanquin driver lifted the curtain.

It's in place.

We have to face the storms that are coming.

Can't hide.

Inevitable.

It will have to be faced.

Whether you live or die, you can't help yourself.

Zhu Wenzheng gathered his mind and tidied up his clothes, he was a prince of the court, a member of the first rank, and a teacher of the emperor, and he had enough momentum before and after.

Step out of the car door with one foot.

He saw his funny shoes again.

I'm afraid it's too rude to go to the Holy One like this.

So, Zhu Wenzheng made a bold decision.

He took off his shoes and got into the sedan chair barefoot.

The palanquin drivers were full of stunned eyes, and he just didn't see it.

Somewhat awkward.

But it turns out that in this capital, the prosperous capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven is so rough on the streets.

The sun was hot.

A small shop is right in front of you.

Zhu Wenzheng seemed to hesitate.

"Qin Tao, the old man has been pulled into the water!" A wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Wenzheng's mouth.

If it weren't for Qin Tao's peerless wine, he Zhu Wenzheng would not have looked at the princess's face and started a business on the street.

I want to go back now.

But you can see the shore when you come at all.

Calm shop.

There is a man in it who can make him beautiful for a lifetime, and can also beat him into the bottomless abyss.

He was a king, and once upon a time, he was also his own student.

Zhu Wenzheng looked up, the sun was dazzling.

There are rock sugar gourds in the air, mixed with the aroma of fried chestnuts.

Zhu Wenzheng has never really observed and experienced this, the people's livelihood is suffering, the border is in war, the country is in danger, and the officials are demoted...... That's always what he cares about.

As for the real life, he has been far away for too long.

After today, I hope to spend this day safely, and I hope that the emperor can see his old ministers of the four dynasties who have worked tirelessly for the country, so that he can live today safely and let him go.

If he can live through today, Zhu Wenzheng decided to live a fireworks life of firewood, rice, oil and salt from now on.

Tiny paving.

A low-hanging blue cloth curtain.

Zhu Wenzheng took a deep breath and mustered up the courage of this life before slowly reaching out his hand.

This curtain seems to be a barrier separating the two worlds.

He didn't want to touch it, but he had to lift it and walk in with the confident posture that he had always used to go up.
