Chapter 361: A hasty farewell
This is a good idea.
Yan Li thought carefully for a moment and nodded slowly: "Being an overlord is not to take over the territories of various countries as your own, but to allow the people of all countries to have a stable life. Those tolerant systems can continue to exist, and the old and decadent systems can continue to exist. Yes, the cruel and inhumane regulations should be abolished.”
It is what a wise king should do to regard the people of all countries as his own, to allow all civilians to live a stable life, and to prevent them from suffering from war and poverty.
However……
Yan Li quickly laughed at himself: "However, this will be an extremely long process, and the final result may not be as beautiful as I imagined."
꽭Xia Datong is prosperous, the people are rich, and there are no lost objects on the road.
This is the best state of the country in everyone's imagination, but imagination is just imagination.
People's hearts are complex, and everyone has their own greed. It is difficult to implement it, and there will always be people with interests who will block it.
Even some important officials in the court would weigh the pros and cons, and would loyally and wholeheartedly pursue the emperor's will as long as their own rights and interests would not be greatly affected.
"Nothing is smooth sailing." Mu Cang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "The more you want to achieve something big, the more you have to walk through the rugged road of thorns. Delicate flowers are raised in the greenhouse, and they are tempered through hardships. is the king."
Yan Li nodded slowly: "Yes."
Every time he experiences something, Yan Li's thoughts will change.
From the beginning, the surging yearning to become the overlord of the world, the excitement of leaving a name for thousands of people, and later the understanding of having the world in mind.
Yan Li felt more and more that this change in the career of the empress was an experience given to her by God.
She needs to understand the people, the system, human nature, as well as various complex and changeable rules, customs, and people's sentiments, so that it will be better for her to govern in the future.
Mu Cang is a god of war. He knows the cruelty of war, how precious stability is to the people, and how valuable peace is.
놛Knows better than anyone else that the name of the God of War was earned with many lives - whether it is the blood of his own comrades or the blood of his enemies.
The battlefield made of blood has always been cruel and depressing. The corpses everywhere are not an exaggeration, but the piles of corpses and the broken families.
In the past, Yan Li only admired Mu Cang and felt that 놛 was a rare outstanding man in Jiuzhou, and his reputation as the God of War was well-deserved.
Whether on the battlefield or in the court, 놛 is so dazzling and shining.
However, the more he learned, the more Yan Li understood that the most valuable thing about Mu Cang was not his beautiful appearance, his powerful skills, or his invincible talent.
It's the kindness and kindness that other people don't have.
The God of War, the God of War, becomes a god through war and battle.
But what I yearn for is peace.
놛I hope there will never be a war, 놛I hope the people can live and work in peace and contentment, even if I am unknown.
With such a broad mind, how many people can match it?
That night, the couple reunited after a long separation and talked a lot about their dislike of war and their yearning for peace.
꽭Xia Jiuzhou has a vast territory.
Only if we are strong enough can we keep Jiuzhou in peace, curb those ambitions that are ready to take off, prevent wars from invading our homes, and prevent people from being displaced in the flames of war.
The map of the nine kingdoms' territory is spread out on the record.
The slender fingers moved on the map, as if pointing to the country, with ink strokes outlining the places where the troops were stationed, the fertile soil, the steep mountains, the rapid rivers, the prosperous cities...
Deep and quiet voices intertwined, and the calm and wise whispers were the king delineating the prosperous scene of the future.
When the fish belly turned white in the east, the two of them looked at the densely packed marks on the map, smiled at each other, and then each washed up and went back to the house to sleep.
So when Yan Li was absent in the morning and asked for leave, someone immediately said with a smile: "The ninth prince of the Mu Kingdom finally came to the Jin Kingdom, and it is reasonable for his wife to reunite after a long absence."
The term "reunited after a long separation" is often used in these two terms. Most of the ministers in the DPRK are civil servants, who are best at choosing words and sentences: "I don't know how long the ninth prince of Mu will stay in Jin this time. Although Mu and Jin Neighboring, but they are two countries after all. We won’t have to meet again after a long separation, right?”
"Yes, Mu and Jin are two countries after all. Even if the Ninth Prince stays in Jin for a few more months, he will still have to return to Mu sooner or later. Wouldn't he and the eldest princess have to be separated in two places?"
"The Ninth Prince has the important responsibility of guarding the border. He should put his family and country first. He should not put his children's personal relationship first."
"But this is not a long-term solution -"
"Your Majesty, the Queen." A member of the Royal Forest Army went to the palace and knelt down on one knee. "The Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom wishes to see you."
Emperor Wen and the Queen looked at each other, and then said: "Let 놛 come in."
It's time for the king and his ministers to attend court in the morning. What urgent matters does Prince Dugu have that cannot be discussed until they are in court?
"Yes." The Royal Forest Army took the order and left.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also very strange. They didn't know why Dugu Qingyun asked for an audience at this time.
Is it for a martial arts competition with the eldest princess?
After a while, Dugu Qingyun, dressed in robes, slowly stepped onto the hall. Behind him were the envoys of the Yan Kingdom and two princesses who came over for marriage.
"Your Majesty, the Queen." Dugu Qingyun bowed in greeting, "I'm here to say goodbye."
Farewell?
Manchao Wenwu was startled and turned around to look at him: "Why did you say goodbye so suddenly?"
"What happened to Prince Dugu?" Emperor Wen was slightly surprised, thinking something had happened. "Were you fine yesterday? Why did you leave so suddenly? The competition between the Crown Prince and the eldest princess has not started yet. When the eldest princess enters the palace, you guys We can also discuss it—"
"I watched the stars last night and learned that something happened in the palace of Yan Kingdom. I was restless all night. I ordered people to pack my bags before dawn in the morning. I wished I could fly back to Yan Kingdom right away." Qingyun bowed slightly, with an apology on his face, "I should have waited until the emperor came down to court, but I was too anxious, so I hurried over to say goodbye to the emperor, and thank the emperor and the empress for their warm hospitality."
Emperor Wen said, "That's it."
Dugu Qingyun said in a humble tone: "The matter happened urgently. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay to attend the eldest princess Chen's banquet. I'm deeply sorry."
Stargazing at night? Was it urgent?
The ministers looked at each other with subtle expressions on their faces.
When did Prince Dugu learn the art of astrology and divination? You still watch the stars at night, maybe you suddenly came back to your senses when you went back last night, and you didn't dare to compete with the eldest princess, so you just hurriedly found an excuse to run away today?
Anyway, the marriage is destined to fail, and if you continue to stay, you are just asking for trouble. It is better to leave logically with the excuse of watching the stars at night, than to suffer a complete defeat at the hands of the eldest princess and lose a fertile land. 꽭Lai Novel Network
The ministers were convinced, and Emperor Wen and the Queen naturally understood.
However, we have no deep hatred for Dugu Qingyun, and we will not make enemies for nothing, so after some polite remarks, Emperor Wen said: "After the morning court, I ordered a banquet for His Highness the Crown Prince to practice -"
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor." Dugu Qingyun declined politely, "I will leave now. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will come back to bother His Majesty the Emperor."
Emperor Wen heard the words and did not force himself any further, so he ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the commander of the Royal Forest Army to escort Prince Dugu to the imperial city.
