My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 128 126. The golden cicada sheds its shell and the fallen leaves return to their roots

The dim palace.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

Emperor Qianli suddenly asked: "People have seven emotions and six desires, and everyone in the world has selfish emotions. Why can't I feel them in front of the Grand Master?"

Zhao Xuanqi replied: "Of course I have selfish emotions, but I am already old. After death, everything will be empty and everything will no longer matter."

Emperor Qianli asked again: "You said that everything will be in vain after death, but even if you die, you can make such a contribution to the country and the monarch. I don't believe there are such selfless ministers in the world."

"You are not just a test for me, are you? Do you want to take the opportunity to seek power and usurp the throne? Or do you have other plans?"

Zhao Xuanqi said: "If I had other plans, I wouldn't have said so many words to you. Wouldn't it be a waste of time? And with my current power, I can't do what I want to do?"

Emperor Qianli lowered his head and tried hard to ask: "I really want to know why you are doing this? It's hard for me to believe that there are people in the world who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others and the stability of the people of the world."

Zhao Xuanqi fell into silence.

Memories swirled in his mind, remembering the late Emperor Qinglong and the late Emperor Jingming.

He thought of the two poor imperial examination geniuses Ouyang Fugui and Wang Shilin, and also thought of the many college friends who helped him.

Open your mouth, wanting to say something.

But nothing could be said.

Finally, the poem he had written about his ambition during the imperial examination came to his mind.

"Be anxious when the world is worried first, then be happy when the world is happy."

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, and create peace for all generations."

In the end, I just copied the sentences of the Chinese ancestors, but I didn't expect that it would eventually infuse my own life.

He slowly told a story:

"In ancient times, there lived a tribe of giants deep in the mountains and forests of the north. Their leader was named Kuafu."

"The people of this tribe are kind-hearted, hard-working and brave, and live a life of freedom without fighting against the world."

"One summer, the weather was very hot. The sun shone directly on the earth. The crops were burned to death, the trees were scorched, and many people died in the scorching heat."

"Kuafu felt very sad. He vowed to catch the sun and make it obey human orders."

"I heard that Kuafu wanted to chase the sun, and the tribesmen tried to dissuade him, saying, "The sun is so far away, can you catch up? Besides, the sun is so hot, even if you can catch up, you will be roasted to death by it."

"But Kuafu has made up his mind and must go."

"The next day, as soon as the sun appeared, Kuafu said goodbye to his people and strode towards the sun."

"The sun was moving very fast in the sky, and Kuafu was desperately chasing it on the ground. He climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, chasing the sun."

"Seeing that the sun was getting closer, Kuafu felt that his whole body was extremely hot and thirsty, so he ran to the Yellow River to drink water, and ended up drinking all the water in the Yellow River in one breath."

"This was not enough to quench his thirst. He ran to the Wei River again and drank all the water in the Wei River."

"After drinking enough water, Kuafu continued to run towards the sun, but after running for so long, he was exhausted. He fell down with a bang before running two steps and never got up again."

"When he was about to die, Kuafu threw out the wooden stick in his hand, and a lush peach forest grew up where the stick fell."

"Kuafu believes that there will be people chasing the sun like him. This peach forest is for them to quench their thirst."

Zhao Xuanqi said seriously: "Everyone has his own ideal. Just like Kuafu chasing the sun, people work hard to chase this ideal. Ideals, ideals, even if they don't make any sense in front of others, even if others can't understand, There will always be people who are willing to fight for their ideals, even if it means going up the mountain of swords. Even if it means going down into the sea of ​​fire, there will always be people who are willing to pay for their ideals!"

"People always have their own meaning when they live. If you die for your ideals, you will not regret it even when you die."

"To report my gratitude to you on the Golden Platform, and to guide the Jade Dragon to die for you, in addition to thanking the late emperor for his kindness, my ideal when I came to this world is to realize the great unity of the world and let the people live a prosperous life. "

"Just like Kuafu threw away the crutch before his death, he would use the crutch to turn it into a peach forest even after death, to help the subsequent sun chasers and convey the ideal flame in his heart."

"When I died, I chose you and supported you. I hope you can inherit the fire in my hands and work hard for the people of the world and this country."

Emperor Qianli said again: "Those ministers say that I am unkind and unjust. Aren't you afraid that I will not redress your injustice after your death and make you slandered?"

Zhao Xuanqi smiled and said: "Although I have not educated you, Jin Yiwei's eyes are on me, and I have been observing you."

"Although you are ruthless and ungrateful, you are a person who understands justice, and you are a proud person."

"Just like when you were very young, you learned that you would be the emperor in the future. You started to practice martial arts on your own since you were a child, and you were familiar with military books. You took the initiative to study your lessons every day. You wanted to work hard to be the emperor, and you wanted to not let others go. Disappointing others and wanting to prove to everyone what you can do.”

"Your pride does not allow you to become a fool, so you are already 15 years old and have already done so many things."

"You regard the country as your home, you regard the people as your own, you regard yourself as the head of the country, and work hard to be a good emperor."

"You are a born monarch, very suitable to be an emperor."

"I have helped you so much, and you already owe me so much. People like you never owe anything to others. You can't sleep even if you owe others a little bit. I believe you will treat my family well, and I believe you will vindicate me." .”

"Besides, there is Princess Xiaoyao. With her here, I believe everything will have a perfect ending."

Emperor Qianli listened to these words.

I still can't believe that a person like Zhao Xuanqi is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the world.

It was clear that he had all the power in the government and it was easy to change the government, but he did not choose to change the government, but adhered to his duty as a minister.

Obviously he can enjoy his old age in peace, enjoy the world's reputation, leave his name in history and be praised by countless people, but he would rather risk his reputation and make some plans for the future generations after his death.

If he didn't know how to change his name, I'm afraid he would be insulted in future generations, but for the sake of greater stability in future generations, he was still willing to risk this stigma and choose to believe in an emperor who hated him a little.

Regardless of whether he is a person or a minister, the Grand Master has gone to the extreme, and he has done his best for the people of the world, and he has done his best for this country.

Kuafu chases the sun, Kuafu chases the sun.

Others cannot understand Kuafu.

I can't understand the Grand Master myself.

Although he could not understand Zhao Xuanqi, Emperor Qianli respected Zhao Xuanqi and the man who had given him great help. He was also willing to take over the torch in his hands and work hard to make the country more prosperous!

So he couldn't afford to kneel down, and he knelt down affectionately for Zhao Xuanqi three times.
