Chapter 361: A Hasty Farewell

This is a good idea.

Yan Li thought carefully for a moment and nodded slowly: "To be the hegemon of the world is not to take over the territories of all 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 ones, Cruel and inhumane regulations should be abolished.”

It is the duty of a wise king to regard all people in the world as his own, to allow all common people 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."

The world is harmonious, prosperous, the people are rich, and there are no lost objects on the road.

This is the best state of the country that everyone envisions, but imagination is just imagination.

People's hearts are complicated, and everyone has their own greed. It is very 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 a rugged road full of thorns. Delicate flowers are grown in the greenhouse, and those are tempered through hardships. King."

Yan Li nodded slowly: "Yes."

Every time Yan Li experiences something, his thoughts will change.

From the initial surging yearning to become the overlord of the world, to the desire to leave a name for the ages, to the understanding of caring for the people of the world.

Yan Li felt more and more that this change in the empress's life was an experience given to her by God.

She needs to understand people's livelihood, understand the system, understand human nature, as well as various complex and ever-changing rules, customs, and people's sentiments, so that it will be better for her to govern the world 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.

He knew better than anyone else that the name of the God of War was earned with many lives - whether it was 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.

Yan Li only admired Mu Cang before, thinking that he was one of the few outstanding men in the world, and his reputation as the God of War was well-deserved.

Whether on the battlefield or in the court, he was 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 outstanding appearance, his powerful skills, or his invincible achievements.

It's a kindness that others don't have.

The god of war, the god of war, becomes a god through war and fighting.

But what he yearns for is peace.

He hopes that there will never be war in the world, and he hopes that people can live and work in peace and contentment, even if he is unknown.

How many people in the world can match such a broad mind?

That night, the couple reunited after a long separation and talked a lot about their dislike of war and their yearning for peace.

There are nine states in the world, and the territory is vast.

Only if they are strong enough can they keep all the nine states in the world in peace, curb those ambitions that are just around the corner, prevent wars from invading their homes, and prevent the people from being displaced in the raging 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. The places where the troops were stationed, the fertile soil, the steep mountains, the rapid rivers, the prosperous cities were outlined with a red pen...

Deep and quiet voices intertwined, and the calm and wise whispers were the king delineating the prosperous scene of the future.

Until the fish-belly white appeared in the east, the two 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 joked: "The ninth prince of the Mu Kingdom finally came to the Jin Kingdom. It is reasonable for the husband and wife to reunite after a long absence."

The phrase "reunited after a long separation" has been used a lot in the past two days. 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 need to meet again after a long absence every year, 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. Won't he and the eldest princess have to be separated again?"

"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 him come in."

It is time for the monarch and his ministers to attend court in the morning. What urgent matters does Prince Dugu have that cannot be discussed after they have gone to 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?

The whole court was shocked and turned to look at him at the same time: "Why did you say goodbye so suddenly?"

"What happened to Prince Dugu?" Emperor Wen was slightly surprised, thinking something had happened, "You were fine yesterday, why did you say goodbye so suddenly? The competition between the prince and the princess has not started yet. When the princess enters the palace, you can still have a competition-"

"I observed the stars last night and learned that something happened in the palace of Yan State. I was restless all night. I ordered people to pack up before dawn in the morning. I wished I could fly back to Yan State immediately." Dugu Qingyun bowed slightly, apologetic, "Originally, I should have waited until the emperor left the court, but I was too anxious, so I hurried over to say goodbye to the emperor, and thank the emperor and the queen for their hospitality for several days."

Emperor Wen said, "I see."

Dugu Qingyun said humbly: "It happened in a hurry. I am afraid I can't stay to attend the princess' birthday banquet. I am deeply sorry."

Observing the stars at night? It happened in a hurry?

The ministers looked at each other, with some subtle expressions on their faces.

When did Prince Dugu learn the art of astrology? He even observed the stars at night. I'm afraid he suddenly came to his senses last night and didn't dare to compete with the princess, so he hurriedly found an excuse to escape today?

Anyway, the marriage was doomed to fail, and he would only be asking for trouble if he stayed. It was better to leave in a logical way under the pretext of observing the stars at night than to lose miserably to the princess and lose a fertile land. Tianlai Novel Network

The ministers understood, and Emperor Wen and the Queen naturally understood as well.

However, they had no deep hatred with Dugu Qingyun, and would not make enemies for nothing. So after some politeness, Emperor Wen said: "After the morning court, I will order people to prepare a banquet for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to practice——"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Dugu Qingyun declined politely, "I will leave now. I will come to bother Your Majesty again when I have the chance in the future."

After hearing this, Emperor Wen did not force it, and ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the commander of the Imperial Guards to escort Prince Dugu out of the imperial city.
