"You don't have to answer me, I haven't finished speaking yet." He turned his face away and looked at the dark place where the light of the fireflies could not shine. "Before the founding of the Taiyi Kingdom, you single-handedly defeated the coalition forces led by the Jingyao Dynasty.
You have indeed turned the tide, but this cannot conceal the fact that you have been missing for sixty years, leaving all the troubles to your subordinates."
"This is just like when Fengyun and Ten Thousand Stars were fighting, you aided the great world of Fengyun, but left the pressure of the invasion of demons and ghosts to the mountains and seas. You may have worries in your heart, you may have calculated the outcome of the war, and you may have made clear arrangements in your heart.
Bai Bai will not cause too many casualties to his subordinates, but again, where were you when your subordinates were defending your legacy?"
"The overall situation is important, but the small situation cannot be ignored. Your subordinates may not always think about you and understand the meaning of every step you take. What they see most intuitively is that you are often absent from important moments, leaving them alone to deal with the pressure."
Xiang Ji said, "Ministers often cannot see their monarchs, just like fish cannot enter the water, fallen leaves cannot return to the branches, and birds cannot find their nests, then why not change the river, why not nourish the new seedlings, why not build a new one"
A nest?”
"I have learned the lesson." Zhan Changfeng waved his sleeves and raised his fists in salute, "As long as the people yearn for peace and tolerance, Taiyi will exist for one day, and Gu Yi will re-examine his attitude towards the ministers and listen to their requests for Gu.
"
Xiang Ji was not surprised at all by her attitude. From the beginning to the present, Emperor Changsheng always followed the good deeds.
"I don't understand." His tone was lighter than a firefly, but it was always full of weight. "What is the Celestial Empire to you? What does the minister represent to you? Before the establishment of the Celestial Dynasty, you were often not on the throne.
, I can understand that if you want to practice cultivation, you have to go outside to pave the way for the future of the country, but what about after the establishment of the Celestial Dynasty?
You are already the Venerable Returning to the Void. If you care about Taiyi and all the ministers, wouldn’t it be okay to condense a clone and put it in the court hall?"
Zhan Changfeng said, "Based on Gu's chances of getting into trouble, if you use more of your strength, you will be closer to your demise. However, this can be solved for now. In addition, Gu's stay away from the ministers actually stems from a worry."
"...Please make it clear." Xiang Ji knew that when he said these words, the initiative of the topic fell into her hands. What he wanted to question has been said. Let's see what tricks she can come up with.
.
Zhan Changfeng said sincerely, "Gu often wonders what will happen to Taiyi if Guruo dies."
Xiang Jina's expression, which was colder than the moonlight behind the clouds, was more real, as if he heard the incredible words, "Do you want them to adapt to the life without you?"
"Do you believe it?"
"..." Xiang Ji fell silent, "I have never met a reigning emperor who started thinking about his posthumous affairs so early."
"Gu has been wandering on the edge of life and death several times. I can't help but not think about it." Zhan Changfeng looked solemn, "There is another point. I am not afraid of your jokes. I am confident. If the minister of Gu sees Gu every day, he will be more and more impressed by Gu.
Under his majesty, he became a fanatical admirer of Gu."
Not only was Xiang Ji stunned, the fireflies flying around him all folded their wings and fell to the ground.
"Gu is afraid that they don't know what is right and wrong. They take Gu as their main focus, criticize people who disagree with Gu, over-interpret Gu's words and deeds, and persecute innocent people for Gu's sake."
"..."
"Gu Geng is afraid that he will affect their path. Since you have found out about the seal of the Second Emperor, you should know what the demons who worship Yuan Ming have done. I don't want to fall one day, and a large group of people will die."
In order to resurrect the orphan, he did incredible things."
Xiang Ji took a breath and said, "The Immortal Emperor's focus is a bit strange."
"Do you think this is not possible?"
Xiang Ji looked at her serious expression and didn't know what to answer.
Narcissism or having a full understanding of yourself are two completely different concepts!
Zhan Changfeng was worried, "If Gu's majesty is not greater than the light of thousands of feet, why would Gu's subordinates stick to the foundation for Gu many times when Gu's life and death are unknown, even if it is ten or sixty years without flinching?"
Xiang Ji couldn't answer. He had thought about this question before. At that time, he felt that the senior leaders of the Day Clan were really lacking in strength, even with such irresponsible clan leaders.
"Gu has always believed that monarchs and ministers, the emperor's court, and the millions of creatures under his jurisdiction should keep an appropriate distance. The former complement each other, and the latter should preferably not disturb each other on the surface."
He raised his eyes, "Why?"
"For the former, only by achieving mutual success can we work together to find the right path. For the latter... You should understand the rebellious psychology of living beings. Secondly, all the laws in the world have their own splendors, major and minor paths, and their own ideas and principles.
, even the small world where ordinary creatures live has their own trajectory. If I don’t want to interfere too much, there are no legal provisions in this world that all people can accept.
What I want to do is to establish a general solid order and avoid some inevitable disasters, such as massacres by high-power levels against low-power levels, externally induced world-destroying disasters, and the consequences that cannot be controlled.
Destructive war, etc.”
Zhan Changfeng asked him, "What do you think of Gu?"
Xiang Ji thought, "It's grand and dangerous."
But it's worth supporting.
She was the first emperor who clearly wanted to let go of the common people, yet she had order in her heart.
"The road ahead for Taiyi will only become more difficult and dangerous. Don't make a wrong step. Your Excellency Gu Guan has a lofty vision, a firm mind, and knows the smallest things. I would like to invite you to join Taiyi as an official to remonstrate with me and the ministers, so as to save me from worries about the future."
Xiang Ji stroked a strand of hair on his chest, laughing loudly, "You are not afraid that I will scold you and disperse your imperial court."
"I believe in the ability of the ministers to bear it."
"Eternal Emperor, please come back, I will think about it again."
He didn't give an answer immediately, stood up, and rushed into the depths of the forest with the fireflies like a sea of light, and gradually the night returned.
Zhan Changfeng also returned to the rocking chair and waited for dawn.
Finally, a ray of skylight burst out, and the purple clouds were coated with clear light, making it colorful.
Emperor Chao Mu stretched himself out of the cave. He looked at Zhan Changfeng who had taken out a book to read, and muttered, "It's early in the morning. It's the best time to drink a cup of tea made from dew and taste some fresh fruits with frost.
Eat some freshly roasted animal meat, you wait while I do my best to be a landlord."
After that, he started preparing everything. Three moments later, he put everything on the table and said, "Have a try."
Zhan Changfeng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and praised it to save his face, "It tastes good. If it's so comfortable every day, it would be nice to go into seclusion."
"Haha." Emperor Chaomu took a piece of shiny and crispy barbecue and put it into the rocking chair, but there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
This place is within a thousand miles of his dojo, and he certainly knows that person will come at night.
Although he didn't know what they talked about, he only saw Zhan Changfeng this morning, so he must have failed to invite that person.
When I heard her talking about going into seclusion, I couldn't help but say something in my heart, that evil guy wouldn't persuade another person to retreat, would he?
