In the endless open field, snow covered everything, and the sky and the earth were white.

Looking from afar, you can vaguely see the Great Zhou Emperor's Mausoleum faintly in it, which is also covered by snow and turned white, only revealing a round circle of black altars, and there is green smoke rising from the big incense burner on the altar, diffusing into a thin cold mist, and the fragrance is diffused everywhere.

A young man in plain clothes, holding a big broom, swept the altar alone, this man was Zhou Dan, who was punished by King Zhou to guard the spirit.

It has been nearly two months since Zhou Dan was sent to the imperial mausoleum, and his emotions have slowly calmed down from the initial anger, anxiety and worry. In addition to incense, cleaning, and reading the texts written, approved, and read by his father, which were forcibly asked to be read by his brother, the rest of his time was to play the music and fuqin, study the sixty-four hexagrams, and ponder in a daze......

Zhou Dan's only contact with the outside world was through Junbao, who stayed in the palace, and sent it every two days to find out the news in the palace.

Xiao Wu is Zhou Dan's biggest concern, almost all her conditions, Zhou Dan knows very well, except for arranging Junbao and asking the imperial doctor Huang Qian to treat her injuries and send some items, Zhou Dan doesn't know how to help Xiao Wu, who is suffering.

Zhou Dan has been living in anxiety, he is afraid that Xiao Wu will not be able to stand the insult, and chooses to go to a dead end, so he arranges for Junbao to protect Xiao Wu in secret most of the time.

Knowing that Brother Wang and his grandmother are really brainy, Zhou Dan doesn't dare to care about Xiao Wu blatantly, if he is discovered, he will definitely blame himself for the innocent and poor Xiao Wu, and bring her even greater disaster.

The third brother Zhou Xian was also kicked out of the palace because of Xiao Wu, and he must have been very annoyed with her.

Concubine Rong hated Xiao Wu even more, taking advantage of the fact that she was punished, or she was determined to avenge Die'er.

I haven't heard that Xiao Wu offended the fifth brother Zhou Du, a king's wife is bullying Xiao Wu, and if she is hurt by being in a hurry, they will also wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

Zhou Dan worries about it every day, thinking about it day and night, and is often woken up by the bloody little dance in his dream, and he can't sleep anymore.

Listening to Junbao come back, Xiao Wu slowly adapted to the current day and slowly survived the difficult moments, everyone seemed to gradually forget her, and few people deliberately bullied her anymore. Xiao Wu can eat and drink now, and she no longer deliberately throws people, so she is not beaten again, she also finds new things to do, and goes to dig big stones with an old man every day.

Although Zhou Dan didn't understand why Xiao Wu went to chisel stones every day, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to eat well, meditate and have fun, and care about some other things

In addition to worrying about Xiao Wu, Zhou Dan also remembers his second brother Zhou Jue, knowing that he is restless and tormented by nightmares, often walking aimlessly in the palace in the middle of the night.

Whenever he heard Junbao say that Brother Wang was not in good health and couldn't sleep, Zhou Dan felt guilty in his heart, Brother Wang supported the foundation of the Great Zhou with his sick body, and he knew best that he was supposed to share the burden for Brother Wang, but let him worry about himself.

Zhou Dan was very self-reproachful, and he couldn't explain himself, he set up three animals on the altar to sacrifice to the sky, barefoot and hair, and knelt on the cold altar in a single robe, sincerely praying to heaven.

"Gods, I'm ...... Virtue is not as good as Brother Wang's Zhou Jue, nor is Shenwu, there is no Brother Wang's ability to save the people from suffering, but once he has the heart of his fists, has a healthy physique, and has many talents, if he can serve the gods, he will be able to be more meticulous and thoughtful...... I will live 20 years with Brother Wang's Zhou Jue, and I am willing to inherit Brother Wang's illness, and invite the gods to ...... Perfection".

The sky was gray, the biting cold wind hung with snow and mist, whipping Zhou Dan in a single robe, and the black-haired robe was hunting and flying.

In response to Zhou Dan, it was just the rumor of "whirring".

"Heaven, gods, please yourself...... I will live 20 years with Zhou Hao, and I am willing to inherit the pain of Brother Wang, and invite the gods to ...... Fulfilled!"

“......”

The sky began to snow again, and Zhou Dan's constant prayers were drowned in the wind and snow, and Zhou Dan gradually became a snowman.

"Grandpa, God, it's ...... Hear it, go back."

Junbao burst into tears and choked up to persuade him, but he was forced to retreat by Zhou Dan's sharp eye knife, and when he saw that his grandfather was frozen, he trembled from trembling to almost stiff, and he was unstable on his knees.

Junbao couldn't take care of it anymore, so he stepped forward and picked up Zhou Dan and ran to the house.

Zhou Dan was seriously ill, and he was about to lose his weight, Junbao was not at ease to return to the palace, and insisted on staying to take care of him, until the grandfather had a fever and gradually improved.

Knowing that the grandfather was worried about Xiao Wu, Junbao returned to the palace once, brought back Xiao Wu was unharmed, and gained some weight, as well as Xiao Wu chiseled stones, which should be to make a guardrail for the old plum tree, and the news that he started practicing martial arts again.

The news made Zhou Dan feel relieved and have a lot of energy, and he finally believed that Xiao Wu had survived the most difficult moment.

In addition to a guard, a waiting temple person, and Junbao who came once every two days, there was no one else, and the days of Zhou Dan were extremely boring and monotonous.

Zhou Dan began to read quietly, and from the texts left by his father, he gradually understood how tragic and helpless his father was when he braved the world's disapproval and called the king self-reliant!

The father watched his eldest brother be sacrificed to the sky by the king of Shang as a high-ranking person, and he was forced to eat it by making meat soup.

Between the lines, Zhou Dan could vaguely see that in the silent night, the boundless pain and struggle endured by his father, as well as the unspeakable sadness, his tears flowed into his heart, and the whole person was soaked in bitterness.

The father swore that he would sacrifice his life for righteousness, and was determined to be a spark to lead the humiliated princes and the people living in dire straits, to overthrow the brutal Yin Shang regime, and to build a beautiful Datong world where the cultivators have their fields and the dwellers have their houses.

Brother Wang inherited his father's last wish, and under the unknown huge pressure and difficulties, he hesitated to move forward, and he knew best that he had spent countless sleepless nights with his own company.

Zhou Dan's heart is more and more pretended to be in the world of his family and country, he thinks of going back, going back to help Brother Wang share the burden, for the ideal in his father's heart, and for the well-being of the world, he will do his best and die......

"I want to go back! For the sake of my loved ones, for the sake of my family and country, I must go back!"

The cry of going back became more and more urgent in Zhou Dan's heart, but there was also a knot that still couldn't be untied, that is, he didn't know how to balance? Brother Wang and the girl he punished he cared about the most, he couldn't see Xiao Wu being belittled and tortured, but he was indifferent and rational, and he couldn't accept a marriage without love, Zhou Dan knew that his heart was filled with Xiao Wu with the same heart, and he couldn't tolerate others anymore.

"Go back, what else can I do besides my daily routine?"

Zhou Dan suppressed the cry in his heart, and did not return to the palace immediately, but knelt in front of his father's tablet and fell into bitter thought......

After more than 400 years, to the Ji period, its tyranny of not practicing virtue and hurting the people by force aroused the anger of the people and the indignation of the state, making it difficult at home and abroad, betraying relatives, and destroying the country by the great merchants in one fell swoop.

The ancestors of the Great Shang Dynasty became a soup, the reason why he was able to destroy the Xia, was that he was virtuous, made great efforts, and attached importance to the trade of the rich country and the strong army, his diligent and thin, sympathetic to the people's feelings and other measures, so that the people's hearts wanted, created a situation of "Tang Xiude, the princes are all returned to the business", he was supported by the people and the country, and the tribes were attached, and the powerful power accumulated destroyed the Great Xia in one fell swoop.

How similar the histories are.

After more than 500 years, the Great Shang has changed from the cultivation of virtue in the soup to the current King Yin Xuan who harmed the people in fire and water, and the Great Zhou State.

However, the gap between history and reality is huge, and the current Great Shang has a complete governance system and a huge army, and has the sharpest weapons and the strongest chariots, and its strength is much stronger than the decaying Great Xia.

And now, although many tribes are attracted by the benevolence of the Great Zhou Dynasty and have come to take refuge, they have been bullied and intimidated by the obscenity and intimidation of the king for too long, and their hearts are full of fear...... How can more faith be condensed into a monolith?

We must not increase the people's endowment, otherwise we will lose the support of the people, so where will the national treasury reserves come from? We must reform the land system, develop trade, improve smelting and other technologies, and improve efficiency......

There are no rules, there is no circle, the patriarchal law is different, the hierarchy is part, and each should be in its place, so that each can perform its own duties, then it is necessary to establish rules first......

All kinds of rules and regulations still need to be improved, but strict laws can only be used to preempt people, and to educate people with morality, etiquette, and music, so that the people can know etiquette and righteousness, and know how to be honest and self-disciplined......

"Shunde seeks things, respects God and protects the people, and Mingde punishes prudently"

Only with such an ideological system can we help Da Zhou achieve great things, but there are too many things to do to promote and implement a series of ideas......

When the country is in crisis, we should not avoid hardships, stand up, take on the heavy responsibility of the family and country, work hard, work hard, and help Brother Wang to build a better world in the eyes of his father.

Zhou Dan locked himself in the ancestral hall, for ten days, it gradually became clear in his mind, the big frame of governing the country, he knew what he should do, those things were complicated, and he really didn't have time to restrain himself.

"To create a ...... The world is the same...... A whole new world!"

A broader vision, slowly unfolding in front of Zhou Dan's eyes, feeling that Xiao Wu with the tenacity on her body, smiling Yingying came to her face, Zhou Dan saw her endless life, more than a vivid appearance, Xiao Wu into her own life, what brings her is not only concern?

At this moment, Zhou Dan believes that the future of the excellent Xiao Wu will be very beautiful, and he also believes that the future of the people of his family and country will be infinitely beautiful.

For these, he is willing to pay his life's work.

Zhou Dan pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, the first rays of light in the morning shone on him, Zhou Dan looked at the glow, his heart echoed with the sun.

Zhou Dan suddenly thought that the word "Dan" means that the half sun is rising from the sky, presumably when his father named himself, he hoped that he would be like the newborn sun, able to illuminate the dark world, send light to the world, and send hope.

Zhou Dan made up his mind in his heart that he would live up to this ardent expectation and leave something for the world.
