Wang Daoyi's idea is actually very simple,

Now that the emperor has divided the power of the ancient dragon,

Then don't worry about how he did it,

Don't care why the emperor doesn't consult with him,

Because all this has already happened, and it is useless to dwell on it.

You can't summon the power of time and turn everything back, right?

Just as Zhongli understands Wang Daoyi, Wang Daoyi also understands Zhongli,

The personalities of the two look completely different, but one thing is the same,

Then the things that are determined will definitely be done,

Since the emperor has decided to return the authority to the Dragon King Ruotuo, then, Wang Daoyi is already unable to stop it.

So, instead of dwelling on the past, it is better to care about the present first.

If cutting authority makes the emperor hurt the fundamentals, that's what matters.

"If there really is any serious damage, I can also make up for it."

Wang Dao said with sincere concern.

Feeling the care of the 'youngest son', Zhongli's heart warmed slightly, he didn't tell Wang Daoyi about cutting authority in advance, not that he didn't believe in Wang Daoyi, but that he believed in Wang Daoyi too much, and he was very satisfied with Wang Daoyi.

Even in his more than 6,000 years of life, no one could ascend from a mortal to a god like Wang Daoyi, and it only took two years.

"Don't worry, Fucarus did that because Fontaine's prophecy had been watching over him, and I am different, I am older than him, more powerful than him, and more lenient than him, so the cutting of the throne has weakened me a little, but it has not shaken my foundation."

As he spoke, Zhongli slowly sat up straight, his eyes slightly condensed, and looked at Wang Daoyi: "Although I have lost the authority of the Divine Seat, I am still Morax, I am still the God of Contract, and I am still the God of Man. ”

Zhongli's meaning is very simple, the Divine Seat is an unnecessary thing for him, and although cutting the Divine Throne has caused him a little damage, it is not important at all.

The Dragon King Ruotuo was beside him, opening his mouth slightly, but in the end he didn't speak, just took a sip of wine.

Wang Daoyi and Zhongli looked at each other, looking at the calm look in Zhongli's eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

Long

Wang Dao's momentum calmed down, and he reached out and pinched the teacup: "The emperor can't be like this anymore." ”

In the words, the previous things have been skipped.

Zhongli also smiled: "Now that Ruotuo has returned, and the martyrdom has also been brought back by you, you have the final say in the future." ”

The implication is that he will really be a retired veteran in the future.

However, if anyone really takes it seriously and invades Liyue, then the sky will still drop rock spears.

"......" Wang Daoyi was silent for a moment and decided to skip the topic, "The Sea Lantern Festival is approaching, what arrangements does the emperor have?" ”

"I discussed with Ruotuo, and the Sea Lantern Festival will be passed in the Hall of the Dead, and I will go out to visit friends after the festival."

After a pause, Zhongli continued, "Lishui Stacked Mountain and Cutting Moon Zhuyang have been changing their bodies to play in Liyue Harbor lately, and I don't think we can find them on the day of the Lantern Festival.

Stay... Xianyun also came to Liyue Harbor and took in a little apprentice, and the Lantern Festival was accompanied by someone.

Now that Xiao also has a cang, he has found the martyrdom, and there are still Yanxiao and others over there, but there is no shortage of people to talk to.

The little fish in Shenyu Valley is also accompanied by the mountain owner, and everyone is accompanied by this year's Sea Lantern Festival. ”

Hearing Zhongli say this, Wang Daoyi was also a little in a trance,

Yes, compared with the previous Lantern Festival, this year's Lantern Festival seems to be a little more humane.

"Ha, maybe this is the era of people, and having someone to accompany you is home." Wang Daoyi said with a smile.

"In the past, although the Lantern Festival was also lively, everyone liked to go to the immortals to pray for blessings, and now, everyone is more accompanied by their families..."Zhongli's eyes flickered slightly, he didn't know what he was thinking, and finally sighed, "This is a good thing." ”

Ruotuo Dragon King looked at Zhongli and Wang Daoyi, and couldn't understand what these two were talking about at all.

"Heh, since the emperor is fine, then I will leave first." Wang Daoyi stood up, arched his hand at Zhongli, and then looked at the Dragon King of Ruotuo, "The Dragon King will come to Wanmin Hall next time, I will treat you with my own wine." ”

"Go ahead, I'm fine here." Zhongli smiled and nodded at Wang Dao.

The Dragon King of Ruotuo also smiled: "I will go to you for a drink in a few days." ”

Wang Daoyi arched his hand again and turned to leave.

After the royal road is gone,

Ruotuo Dragon King looked at Zhongli: "What you just said, who is the person who accompanies you, what do you mean?" ”

Zhongli was stunned by the Dragon King's question, and then smiled dumbly: "Hahahaha, Ruotuo, I am no longer a rock god, now, it is the era of people, and the mutual companionship between people is the mainstream of this era. ”

The ancients said: Home and everything is prosperous.

Nowadays, the people of Liyue are more willing to accompany their families than to seek immortals, which is a sign of prosperity.

It's also a trend that Zhongli wants to see.

Zhongli had always been the most enlightened monarch, and he never cared that the people of Liyue forgot about him, or that the people of Liyue no longer needed him.

Even, if Liyue doesn't need his protection one day, he will be happy.

This shows that his people are truly self-reliant.

Of course, the people of Liyue aren't white-eyed wolves.

Although the Seven Stars have been pushing for the arrival of the Rule of Man, Liyue's rules are still within the framework set by the Emperor.

The advent of the rule of man does not refute the past of theocracy.

The incense of the immortal temple under Tianheng Mountain is still flourishing,

But no matter how prosperous the incense was, it didn't affect the sound of the reading in the academy next to it.

The immortal statues at the dock of the Lantern Festival are still there every year,

But Xuan He's immortal statue will not affect the reunion of the family.

The Seven Stars understand very well that although the era of [rule of man] has come,

But Liyue is not only the Liyue of people, but also the Liyue of immortals, the Liyue of gods, and the Liyue of everyone.

It would be the most foolish thing to treat the immortals and gods and humans as a class.

The best way to do this is to use the great stories of the gods and ancestors to teach the new generation to strive for self-improvement.

Since then, the inheritance has been endless, and the rule of people has not ended, and it is the right way.

Listening to Zhongli's tirade,

Ruotuo Dragon King felt that his brain was not drunk, and it was a little buzzing.

"Stop, stop, don't read it, I don't understand." Ruotuo Dragon King looked unbearable, and waved his hand vigorously, "Anyway, whatever you say is good, we can live well in the crowd without being immortals." ”

Listening to the words of the Great Wisdom and Foolishness of the Dragon King of Ruotuo, Zhongli smiled and shook his head, where did his old friend not understand, he understood too much,

He just doesn't care,

The only thing the Dragon King cared about was Morax.

Whether it's a human-ruled or theocratic Liyue, it's the same for the Dragon King.

As long as His contract with Morax is not ended,

Well, these are the Liyue he is willing to protect.

Whether or not the people of Liyue still remember him doesn't matter to the Dragon King.

"You~"

Zhongli's soft sigh echoed in the small courtyard, and finally returned to peace.

……

Leaving the Hall of Death, Wang Dao returned to the avenue of Crimson Cloud Slope,

It was noon, and when it was time to eat, there were more people on the streets.

The shouts of the little two of Xinyue Xuan and Liuli Pavilion are like a battle, you press me, I press you,

It was convenient for foreign tourists, who walked into the two hotels one after another, and then donated generously.

There are also tourists who have made a good strategy, and they stubbornly endure the screams in their stomachs, and continue to walk forward, ahead of them, in the direction of Tiger Rock, they have all inquired, the best snacks in Liyue are eating Tiger Rock, and the best restaurants are also eating Tiger Rock.

The coming and going of tourists did not affect the footsteps of Wang Daoyi,

Walking in the crowd, passers-by will subconsciously get out of the way for him,

came all the way to the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, but saw Xingqiu, who was full of tiredness, just at the door.

His eyes lit up, and Wang Daoyi approached.

"I'm looking for you, and you're back so soon? Is the business of Qiao Yingzhuang settled? Wang Daoyi patted Xingqiu's shoulder and spoke.

Xingqiu's face was tired, and he turned his head to see that it was Wang Daoyi, and he cheered up a little: "It's done, thanks to Ying, otherwise it will be troublesome." ”

Xingqiu took over the business of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce in Qiaoyingzhuang for the first time, but he also knew that it was related to the livelihood of the entire tea farmers in Qiaoyingzhuang, so he didn't dare to delay, and worked overtime to finish it before the Lantern Festival.

"Although the quality of tea this year fluctuated slightly due to the influence of mountains and rivers, it has stabilized and the tea farmers have not suffered much." As he spoke, a smile appeared on Xingqiu's tired face.

Wang Dao's eyes flashed slightly: "Feiyun Chamber of Commerce resisted?" ”

He had been to Qiaoyingzhuang and knew that the quality of tea had declined slightly this year, and if the tea farmers did not lose, it would mean that the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, which bought the tea, would lose.

Xingqiu smiled: "Otherwise, why do you think I'm so tired, it's not to convince those old guys, our Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is making money in Liyue, we can't always make money, where we should lose a little, we still have to lose a little." ”

Saying that, Xingqiu smiled again: "If you leave me idle because of this loss of money, it would be even better." ”

If he hadn't been able to hide, he wouldn't want to do business things, so he might as well go chivalrous, how interesting it would be.

Looking at the 'smirk' on Xingqiu's face, Wang Daoyi felt that he might want to fork it.

As one of the largest chambers of commerce in Liyue, how could the old guys of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce be so unorganized.

Perhaps, the fact that Xingqiu gave profits to tea farmers would make them cede more rights to Xingqiu.

In this era, a young master of the Chamber of Commerce with a pattern is obviously a very good investment object.

In addition, the benefits that Xingqiu gave away, these old guys can definitely exchange more benefits from Qixing's hands.

Therefore, Xingqiu wanted to end his career in the Chamber of Commerce by losing money, obviously thinking too much.

"Haha, good job." Wang Daoyi first praised him, and then asked, "There is still something to do next, what are the arrangements for the Sea Lantern Festival?" ”

Xingqiu looked even more tired: "I still need to check the ledger on Mondstadt's side, the Lantern Festival... I just want to take a good rest, I'm afraid I won't be able to play much this year. ”

Mondstadt's business was originally developed when Xingqiu wanted to go out to play, but it was unexpectedly developed, so the old guys in the Chamber of Commerce were directly left to him to deal with.

“… Okay, this year's Lantern Festival is a kite, but do you want me to prepare one for you? Wang Daoyi patted Xingqiu's shoulder with some sympathy.

He could completely understand what the old man of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce thought,

Although Xingqiu has a brother above,

But there is no way, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is too rich,

In addition, in recent years, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly, and it has also had a large business in other countries.

The existence of this downward autumn was suddenly highlighted,

The second young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, he is very knowledgeable, he is the best choice for people and things, and he is also the holder of the Vision of God, plus he has an irreversible relationship with a certain god.

Where do you find such a good helmsman?

All factors have caused Xingqiu's current 'tragic situation'.

"Kite ......" Xingqiu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Forget it, the Chamber of Commerce will prepare itself, and I guess it will also release the Chamber of Commerce." ”

After Xingqiu finished speaking, Ah Xu, who had been behind him, also spoke: "What the young master said is right, this event uses the mechanical device of Fontaine, and when we first came into contact, it was through our family's commercial channels, and then it was transferred to the General Affairs Division, and our family really prepared a large number of kites." ”

Feiyun Chamber of Commerce never misses any business opportunities.

When the General Affairs Department was still in contact with the mechanism for flying kites, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce had already prepared the materials and templates for the kites.

"Alas......" Xingqiu sighed slightly, "I don't need it here, but I can help Chongyun prepare some materials and let him make one himself." ”

Wang Daoyi nodded sympathetically: "I know, then I'll contact him later, you go to rest first, look at your appearance, I'm a little tired." ”

Xingqiu nodded, didn't speak again, and took Ah Xu back to the Chamber of Commerce.

After Xingqiu left, Wang Daoyi said with some sighs: "This is the price of growing up, it's terrible." ”

When we first met four years ago, Xingqiu was still a very young knight.

But now, he is like a young master of the Chamber of Commerce who carries the fate of his family.

"Tut-tut, I don't know if this change is bad or good." Wang Daoyi turned to leave.

……

Leaving the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce,

As soon as Wang Dao walked in the bazaar on the dock, several familiar figures suddenly appeared in front of him,

It's Ying and Paimon, as well as a few immortals.

Wang Daoyi suddenly became interested, leaned over, and his ears moved slightly,

"Well, since it's a good thing, then the two of us naturally have no problem, but how should this robber act?" The middle-aged man with a patch of green hair on his head spoke,

In Wang Daoyi's sight, this is the incarnation of the True Monarch of Cutting Moon and Zhuyang.

And beside him, the red-haired man with glasses is the true monarch of Lishui Stacked Mountain,

These two, for some reason, appeared in Liyue in the form of ordinary people.

"You don't need us to really rob, you just need to be pretty." The red-haired man in glasses said.

The green-haired middle-aged man immediately retorted: "How can it be done, if someone sees through it, wouldn't it be a disservice." ”

Wang Dao was interesting when he heard it, and approached closely: "You two, what are you arguing about?" Tell me about it. ”

"Who?" The two True Monarchs looked at each other, turned to look at the back, and saw that it was Wang Daoyi, and then their expressions relaxed, "It turns out to be the Lord of Mysteries." ”

Wang Daoyi arched his hand: "Just call me Daoyi, what are you two doing?" And Ying and Paimon, what's the fun going on? ”

"It turned out to be Daoyi, it scared me, I thought I was discovered." Paimon patted his chest.

Wang Daoyi raised his eyebrows, with a curious expression: "I heard you talk about robbers just now, what's the matter, who are you going to rob by pretending to be robbers?" Ningguang? ”

"Oh, no, that's ......"

[Paimon tells Wang Daoyi about the lion dancer Jiaming and his father, and outlines their plans to help the father and son reconcile.] 】

After listening to their plan, a smile appeared between Wang Dao's eyebrows,

The plan is very good, but it sounds a little wrong to use the master-apprentice friendship between Liuyun and Shenhe to activate the affection between father and son.

Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun is an immortal, and her upbringing of Shenhe and Ganyu is not understandable to mortals.

Think about what Shenhe used to eat when he first came to Liyue Harbor.

Herbs.

From the perspective of mortals, it is simply the abuse of the female baby.

"I see, is this to reconcile this Jiaming with his father?" Wang Daoyi nodded slightly.

Paimon looked at Wang Daoyi expectantly, "How about it, do you want to come along?" ”

Wang Daoyi immediately shook his head: "If you pretend to be a robber to rob Ningguang, I am a little interested, but I should forget about this kind of thing of helping others." ”

Wang Daoyi felt that if there was still a possibility of reconciliation between the father and son, then what they lacked might be the opportunity to sit down and have a good chat.

Generally speaking, most of the conflicts between father and son come from the inability to communicate with each other.

The father thinks that the child is rebellious and has embarked on a path of insecurity,

And the child thinks that the father is old-fashioned and can't accept strange things.

But in fact, as long as the father is willing to understand the path chosen by the child, and the child is willing to show the father what he has achieved,

They can always reconcile in the end.

After all, there is no real enmity between father and son.

The father just wants the child to live a little better,

The child also hopes that his father can support the path he has chosen.

However, Ying and Paimon's actions still made Wang Daoyi feel a little emotional.

In the first few Lantern festivals, Ying and Paimon were mostly busy with festival-related things.

This time, however, they paid attention to a family conflict.

I have to say, this is really more 'human' than before.

Family conflicts and neighborhood harmony are the most basic problems of [rule of man].

It doesn't matter if the family is restless, but the family is a big problem.

A family is not peaceful, if the family is peaceful, then it is a great rule.

Ying, the traveler's attention from 'everyone' to 'small family', may also be one of the changes that have occurred after [Renzhi].
