The night in Hanshan is quiet and silent.
This place and Guanyun City are two completely opposite places.
Fu Xiaoguan stood in the courtyard of Yunqing Villa, looking at the sky full of bright stars and the moon, until his neck became sore.
After all these years, from the moment I first opened my eyes in that room in the Linjiang Fu Mansion, I saw a strange world. The bloodshed of my previous life had left me far behind, and I finally found a rare peace in this world.
This kind of tranquility was what he liked most, but then he entered the official career.
Life in Jinling during the Yu Dynasty was not exactly thrilling, but it was something he had earned with all his heart and soul in order to give his wife and children a stable home and a decent future.
At that time, I never thought about fighting for the world.
If everything were fine, the world would probably still be a five-nation tripartite alliance, and the Yu Dynasty would have risen.
As the Earl of Ding'an or the Duke of Shengguo, he would still live in the house by the Xuanwu Lake. When he had nothing to do, he would play with his children, talk about love with his wives, or have a drink with Ning Yuchun, Yan Xiwen and others in the Sifang Tower.
In the end, it went astray, as if there was an invisible hand pushing it.
When did it go astray?
To be honest, it was when I participated in the Wuchao Literary Meeting.
If there hadn't been that avalanche... I might have stayed in the Wu Dynasty and become the crown prince of the Wu Dynasty.
As long as Emperor Wen was on the throne, he, the crown prince, would still live a very comfortable life, living in Jinghu Villa, occasionally attending court meetings, occasionally making some small inventions, but most of the time he would probably still live an idle life.
In this way, there would probably be no conflict with Emperor Xuan of the Yu Dynasty.
Now Fu Xiaoguan thinks that he does not hate Emperor Xuan, because Emperor Wen is gone, and he, Fu Xiaoguan, will definitely succeed to the throne if he returns to the Wu Dynasty.
Emperor Xuan had to be on guard against the abilities he demonstrated in the Yu Dynasty, such as in economy, agriculture and especially military. For the sake of the country, he had to try to kill him. If he were to put himself in Emperor Xuan's shoes, he might have chosen the same thing as Emperor Xuan, or even used more violent means.
This is the beginning of the road to becoming an emperor, and people say that this is a road of no return.
The unification of the five countries is such a great achievement!
The four directions are pacified, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and Daxia's tentacles are extending to every corner of the world. Fu Xiaoguan believes that if he really retires at the age of sixty, Daxia's army and navy will have explored the entire world.
But this really wasn't what he wanted to do.
He wanted to take his wife and children to travel around while he was still young, and then find a place with mountains, rivers and fields to settle down and live the rest of his life.
Even though I told Zhou Hui that I would not be the emperor, the sun would still rise and set at dusk. But is it really as simple as it sounds?
Daxia's science and technology has not yet entered the era of the Second Industrial Revolution, but the West is already developing rapidly.
Many people in Daxia still live below the poverty line, and the officials' governing philosophy needs to be further strengthened.
Daxia's international trade has already begun. How can we ensure that Daxia's products remain invincible in the international competition?
All these things were like shackles on Fu Xiaoguan's body, and he had woven a cage for himself that was difficult to break.
"Is this what you call being trapped in your own cocoon?"
"I laugh at others for not seeing through me, and they laugh at me for being too crazy. Can I really let it go?"
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Fu Xiaoguan's face was as calm as water. He seemed calm, but in fact he was gloomy.
Su Su came out of the room, put a cloak on him, and spoke softly: "It's very chilly in the mountains... Husband, you haven't been very happy recently."
"Well, so I want to be quiet here and think about how to find my happiness again."
Susu almost never left Fu Xiaoguan. She watched with her own eyes as Fu Xiaoguan became the Earl of Ding'an in the Yu Dynasty, and then became the emperor of the Wu Dynasty. He then conquered this vast empire, unified the five kingdoms, and established the huge Xia Kingdom.
He has been busy all these years, for Daxia and its people.
It seemed that he had given up the morning court session, but in fact he had been working tirelessly to plan for Daxia.
No matter how big or small the matter is, from raising pigs so that the people can eat meat, to building warships to protect Daxia's sea routes.
He showed his energetic side to everyone, and even when he returned to the harem, he still did not reveal much of his inner fatigue.
But Sister Shulan said that her husband was tired.
That's why Sister Shulan discussed with her mother-in-law to establish the Daxia Jinfeng Group.
This is Sister Shulan making preparations for her husband's abdication. Sister Shulan said that our family is big and we need to make more money. After her husband is no longer the emperor, he will probably go out and travel around the world to see the world.
All of these require silver.
As for where my husband will end up, no one can guess, but Sister Shulan said that he definitely wants to be a wealthy landlord!
Susu thought that was a good idea.
The other nine sisters also thought that was a good idea.
Even the Queen's sister Yu Wenyun said that as long as her husband left, she, the Queen, would abandon him and follow him.
As Su Su thought about this, her big eyes turned to Fu Xiaoguan and she suddenly said, "Actually... you don't have to worry about anything. Wherever you are, that's our home."
"The Daoist temple's cultivation method reveres the original mind, meaning that whatever the mind desires is the Tao. My husband... why are you so entangled? The choice is nothing more than to consult your heart."
Fu Xiaoguan was suddenly shocked. Whatever you think in your heart is the Tao, and what you choose is just what you follow your heart!
Yes, I should have asked my own heart. My heart longs for freedom. I don't want to be trapped in this cage! Why should I ask other people's opinions?
He suddenly laughed and hugged Su Su in his arms, "You are right, my husband knows what to do."
Su Su raised her head from Fu Xiaoguan's chest and asked, "What should my husband do?"
"After this battle at sea, next year the Prime Minister will complete the second five-year plan, appointing Wu Tianci as the Crown Prince, and appointing three chancellors... no, a cabinet. The three chancellors will serve as elders assisting the Crown Prince. In addition, Yan Xiwen, Yun Xiyan, and Ning Yuchun will be transferred to the capital to serve as chancellors."
"Where are we going then?"
"Hey, we have to run away, otherwise, they will definitely come to bother me again."
"Where are you running to?"
"How about going to the other side of the sea?"
"good!"
"Susu, it's time for us to go to bed."
Su Su's face flushed instantly. She buried her head in Fu Xiaoguan's chest and whispered, "Okay!"
…
…
That night, Fu Xiaoguan completely got rid of the shackles on his body because of Su Su's words.
He was like a tireless ox, plowing the fields for half an hour, and then fell asleep with a contented smile.
Fu Xiaoguan slept very soundly that night. Susu looked at her husband, who was like a child, with joy on her face, until dawn.
