"No disappointment."

There was a brief silence, and a smile of remembrance appeared on Gu Dan's face.

He still remembered when Mo Qiu sat at the stone table in the Gu family's courtyard and talked about the ideal of revenge in his heart.

At that time, he was still an unknown little doctor, the Mo family had not yet been established, and Da Yue had quietly come to the brink of collapse.

Everything seems to be close at hand, and everything is so far away.

It took more than 50 years and the efforts of a group of people to change the fate of the people of Dayue.

The hungry are fed, the cold are clothed, and the toilers are rested.

Naturally, it is simple and easy, but it is just a few words, and it is a countless day and night of hard work to do it.

From the perspective of the emperor alone, Wang Mang can be regarded as handing over him an almost perfect answer sheet of this era, and an emperor who does not deliberately reveal himself will eventually be discovered by others in his ability.

More than 50 years, two generations.

The part that denounced him at the beginning is now dying, and perhaps some people can still vaguely remember the jubilation of the Xia Dynasty when it was just founded, and then the resentment and sadness when they learned that the emperor was not the saint in the mouth of the people, but the nameless Wang Mang.

At this time, it seems to have become a joke.

"It's tiring to be an emperor."

Wang Mang also laughed, his spirit was slightly uplifted, there was a noisy noise outside, all of them were stopped by the guards, no one was allowed to come in again, Wang Mang had already ordered.

"Brother Gu, the next emperor. Give Xun Ke, right? ”

On the bed, Wang Mang said suddenly.

"Oh?"

Wang Mang was able to say such a thing, but it really made Gu Dan feel a little surprised.

In this era, the world has always been a matter of course.

Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the children of mice will make holes, all of which are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Especially on the throne, the matter of Zen concession has become a distant legend.

Although it has not happened, take a look at the group of people who are "conceded" by Zen, they can fight according to the emperor.

The twists and turns are all laughing stocks.

Most of the time, because of this behavior, Zen Rang itself is not a good word.

But despite this, it is the right to look down on the world.

For the people of this age, the highest right that can be reached, the hereditary authority!

"Xun Ke is very capable, and I am very relieved to have him succeed the Xia Dynasty. And he is also a great grandmaster, he has enough time to protect the Xia Dynasty without you having to work hard.

When Xun Ke can't do it anymore, he will definitely seek someone who is enough to deal with the situation to replace him, I believe in his vision.

In this way, three generations, all of whom have chosen the virtuous and capable Zen Rang, may be able to establish the foundation of the country. ”

Wang Mang's face became solemn, even if he didn't even have the strength to get up, his voice couldn't help but increase slightly when he spoke, and he said seriously.

He had clearly thought it through these words.

When the Xia Dynasty was founded, Wang Mang actually had no commendable deeds at all.

It was only because Gu Dan nodded that he was lucky enough to ascend the throne.

In this respect, Wang Mang himself can be regarded as an emperor who has been conceded by Zen.

The Xia Dynasty has been painstakingly managed by him for more than 50 years, but it does not mean that his throne is really won by himself, and he does not become a grandmaster, or even deserves to compete in the world, this is the consensus of this world.

In Wang Mang's opinion, the safest way is naturally to hand over the throne to Xun Ke, Xun Ke is Mozi's apprentice, but he is not confined to the former, has his own ideas, and is a person who knows how to be flexible.

Coupled with the strength of the great grandmaster-level, not to mention guarding the Xia Dynasty for another hundred years, there will definitely be no problem for decades, so how strong will the Xia Dynasty, which has been developing peacefully and steadily for a hundred years, be strong?

Even if it is still far away from the world of Datong, it is enough to be called the most powerful country in the world, right?

Everyone said that his child was the fifty-year-old prince, but in fact, they seemed to forget that Wang Mang had never officially canonized the crown prince.

This idea is by no means groundless.

Gu Dan's eyes were thoughtful.

Wang Mang was chosen because there were not many people who could choose.

Wang Mang did show the corresponding talent.

Since the throne was handed over to him, as long as Wang Mang did not make a big mistake, Gu Dan would no longer point fingers.

However, if Wang Mang took the initiative to mention this matter, it would not be impossible.

As Mozi's apprentice and the leader of Confucianism, after Yu Lisheng left the Xia Dynasty with the vast majority of Mozi and spread morality to farther places, there was no one in the Xia Dynasty who could sing against Xun Ke.

Whether from the perspective of strength and fame, it seems that Xun Ke will take over the throne is a pretty good choice.

But

"Let's wait for someone else to come."

Gu Dan thought about it and didn't immediately nod in agreement.

Fortunately, the speed of the Great Grandmaster is very fast.

It didn't take long for Xun Ke to come over, and there was another person on his back, Xiao Ying.

Someone outside the door took advantage of this time to look inside, but was pushed aside by the guards.

"Uncle Gu."

Xiao Ying and Gu Dan greeted each other.

In recent years, she has really traveled to the north and south, and the medical hall has been opened in various places, in order to respond to the call for care, this goddess doctor, who is currently the Tai Doctor of the Tai Hospital, is not less busy.

The medicine field needs someone to take care of it, and the matter of the woman's midwife cannot be left behind, and the medical centers around the country will also ask all kinds of questions, but fortunately, Xiaoying is no longer the ignorant little girl she was at the beginning, and she has handled these things very well.

But inevitably, because of all sorts of tedious things, compared to the years

When it was light, we rarely got together again.

Gu Dan nodded lightly.

After so many years, Xiao Ying is not old, only her gray hair is quietly telling everything, but her face still looks beautiful and delicate.

She has also taken feast flowers, this irresistible gift for women, even if it does not have the power to soothe the years, but it can also leave a beauty.

Only in this way did she look more like her peers when she was with Xun Ke at this time, but her hair was slightly whiter.

Gu Dan nodded slightly, this is not the place to talk in detail after all, and the two of them stopped talking in time.

On the other side, Wang Mang and Xun Ke officially mentioned the matter of Chan Rang.

The surprise on Xun Ke's face couldn't be hidden.

He really didn't expect that Wang Mang would be able to do this.

But after thinking for a moment, Xun Ke immediately shook his head and refused: "The throne is given to me, it is of little use." ”

The throne is indeed a good thing, but it also depends on the identity.

He was the great master and the leader of Confucianism.

If you want another throne, what is the use of tying yourself to the palace?

If the new emperor is not a person and wants to learn from Emperor Zongming, he can take it down without fear of outside words.

Many people only know the grandmaster who protects the country, but they don't know that the grandmaster also has the responsibility of supervising the country.

At the beginning, Dayue was able to make such a scene, on the one hand, it was a natural and man-made disaster, and it was really unreasonable to see stars falling from the sky at night.

On the other hand, isn't it because Ji Lao and Emperor Zongming have a grudge for a long time, Ji Lao has begun to seek the innate path again, and he doesn't care much about the earthly world, and the reason why another grandmaster has died?

If it really comes to the time when Xun Ke needs to stand up, it will be the same whether there is Zen or not.

The rules of this world itself are like this, individual force does occupy a place, and the higher the realm, the more obvious it is.

The great master has reached the point where he can't do anything, and when he needs to do something to abolish it, he doesn't need anyone's consent, Xun Ke can do it if he wants to.

What's more, Yu Lisheng has the ambition to help the world, is it possible that he Xun Ke doesn't have it?

The difference between him and Yu Lisheng is that he has already started a family.

It really can't be a walk-and-go journey, and Confucianism has only just flourished for too long, and it still needs a solid enough leader to sit in charge.

The world is not limited to the Xia Dynasty.

It's just that because they were born in this land, the people in this land are also the first to be helped, that's all.

In the future that Xun Ke himself is looking forward to, he is bound to leave the Xia Dynasty and expand his morality and ideas to a farther land.

"I didn't think about it, I can't even give the throne."

Wang Mang was a little helpless and had mixed feelings.

What many people dream of, in front of these people, there is no great temptation.

Perhaps only when his position is high enough and his strength is strong enough can he let go of the extravagant hopes that many people can't ask for, follow his heart, and jump out of the cage of others.

"Don't worry, although I don't want the throne, if your descendants are faint, I won't be polite."

mentioned this kind of thing, but Xun Ke was also ruthless, and did not beat around the bush just because Wang Mang was lying on the bed.

"That's the right thing to do."

Wang Mang was not angry, but felt a little regretful.

These great grandmasters, one by one, have escaped from the cage of the world, of course, it is a good thing for this world, but for the Xia Dynasty, it is a loss for the Xia Dynasty.

It is precisely because they are so powerful that they will look into the distance.

Rather than icing on the cake, they want to be in the snow.

This is the luck of the common people.

"Brother Gu, I'm a little sleepy."

After a short silence, Wang Mang looked at Gu Dan and said softly.

His gaze was very calm, there was no struggle, and there was only a calmness in his old eyes.

In this world, I have come, I have struggled, and I have completed my mission.

"If you're sleepy, just rest."

Gu Dan said in as calm his voice as possible.

A similar but somewhat different scene, no matter how many times he watches it, he can always experience the loss of his own existence again and again.

Wang Mang didn't close his eyes, he struggled on the bed, and sat up hard, Xiao Ying wanted to help, but Wang Mang shook his head, and he sat up by himself.

Then from under the pillow, he took out an edict that had been written long ago and handed it to Gu Dan.

Gu Dan stretched out his hand to take it.

Wang Mang smiled, leaned on the bed, and looked ahead.

A happy smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen someone he hoped to see.

His tired body became lighter, blocked thoughts were penetrated, and his body suddenly gained strength.

But he didn't have anything to say, and what he had to do, he had done.

"Brother Gu, I'm leaving."

Wang Mang's eyes did not look at Gu Dan, as if it was a simple goodbye.

“.”

Gu Dan didn't say anything, only held the hand of the edict, and unconsciously tightened a little.

Wang Mang's eyes were closed.

An indescribable silence pervades this place.

After a long time, no one moved.

Gu Dan opened the edict in his hand and saw the familiar handwriting on it.

[I have heard that all things in heaven and earth sprout and grow, and death is the common sense of heaven and earth, and the law of all things, what is there to be sad about?

I am so shallow in my virtue that I cannot support the people, and now that I have passed away, if I still let people mourn and mourn, let them suffer from the scorching heat, let other people's fathers and sons grieve for me, and make my virtue even more shallow, how can I explain to the people of the world?

It has been more than 50 years since I was able to rule the world and be lifted up by the people of the world with my small body. Relying on the well-being of heaven and earth and the well-being of the community, the country is peaceful and free from war.

I often worry about my misdeeds, I am afraid that I will not die well, and now that I can live out my life, what should I be sad about?

Therefore, the order is to go down, the world is not allowed to overserve mourning, everyone mourns for three days and returns to normal, especially in the palace, the people who should mourn cry fifteen times in the morning and evening, and stop after the salute, and in the harem, from the lady to the young envoy, these concubines are sent home and live well.

Bury me in Yuzhou, and don't change the surrounding mountains and rivers. 】

In the fifty-third year of the Xia Dynasty, the Xia Emperor, who had worked hard and also ruled the Xia Dynasty for 53 years, died in Weiyang Palace.

This edict was the last order he left to the Xia Dynasty as the Xia Emperor.

Generosity, benevolence.

Emperor Xia, who reigned for fifty-three years, abolished the crime of criticizing the emperor on the day he ascended the throne, and any common people could scold him without being punished.

During his reign, he always demanded himself according to the requirements of the ink man, and he was the emperor, and he did not wear gorgeous clothes, and he did not even allow his concubines to wear clothes with various patterns.

He was very stingy, and refused to repair the dilapidated and collapsed palace; He is very generous and has never slackened in the governance of Yuzhou.

He loved the people like a son, abolished the strict criminal law of Dayue, adjusted taxes, encouraged farming, humbly accepted advice, and in his 53-year ruling career, the people under his rule were given the opportunity to recuperate and recuperate for two generations.

As far as an emperor is concerned, he is a good emperor.

Gu Dan handed this edict to Xun Ke.

Xun Ke looked at it again, and he was speechless, and tears suddenly flowed out, and he was no longer as indestructible as he was when he said 'I won't be polite' not long ago.

Gu Dan pushed open the door of the palace, and there was a bustling crowd of people standing outside.

Countless eyes converged on him.

Gu Dan didn't speak, he squeezed through the flow of people, and looked back, there were no more familiar people in the somewhat familiar palace.

Gu Dan suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe.

It was like something was stuck in my throat, and it ached.

There is only one of his descendants left.

Mortal life, sad for a hundred years.

How long is longevity?

He turned his back from the crowd behind him, who seemed to sense something, crying.

Lonely and lonely, he walked forward, and there was no one beside him.

I wish you all a safe and healthy Dragon Boat Festival.
