Seeing Chu Huanyan pretending to be vicious, Xiao Jinzhi couldn't help laughing, and said in a long voice: "So Yanyan still has this intention, then I am really... getting more and more... I like you."

Chu Huanyan couldn't help laughing, "Are we the same species?"

"Nonsense, it's obviously a match made in heaven." Xiao Jinzhi smiled and took Chu Huanyan into his arms, and looked at the bustling people outside the teahouse with him.

After a while, Xiao Jinzhi suppressed his smile and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Yanyan, do you think I will be a good emperor in the hearts of these people?"

Chu Huanyan thought for a while, "It's hard to say."

Whether it was Emperor Xiao's death or the wedding, there was a lot of commotion, and the people of Jinzhou City naturally heard the news. If it is really considered, Xiao Jinzhi's behavior may not be like a wise king.

In addition, these people are far away from the imperial city, so the news will inevitably be distorted when it is transmitted, and they will start to add jealousy and gossip. It is naturally difficult to fully know what image they have in the hearts of these people, whether it is themselves or Xiao Jinzhi.

"I thought you would say something nice to comfort me." Xiao Jinzhi smiled.

"My words are not unpleasant." Chu Huanyan glanced at Xiao Jinzhi, "It's hard to say because I don't know what they think. But I know that people who have lived in Jinzhou City for generations The people are definitely not willing to stay away from their homeland or become Danyue people from now on.

Among those rumors, you may not be a wise king, but as long as you can take the people into consideration, consider their situation, and try your best to make their lives stable and happy, then no matter whether you are a wise king in the hearts of these people, you will at least They are all emperors with a clear conscience. "

"Is it enough to have a clear conscience?" Xiao Jinzhi looked into Chu Huanyan's eyes, "Aren't you afraid that if my clear conscience falls on the people, it would be a dereliction of duty to ignore it."

"You won't." Chu Huanyan shook her head.

"Are you so sure?" Xiao Jinzhi raised his eyes and looked at Chu Huanyan, "Actually, I don't mind how it is written in the history books. Even if it is really infamy for thousands of years and is criticized and reviled by future generations, I am too lazy to care."

"Although you don't mind how the history books judge, you care about these people, whether they really live and work in peace and contentment, whether they are willing to stay away from their homeland, and whether they should be the first to make sacrifices for the so-called overall interests of the court." Chu Huanyan said lightly He paused slightly and said with serious and firm eyes, "Xiao Jinzhi, I believe in you. You may not necessarily be a good and well-received emperor, but you will definitely not be a foolish emperor, because you can see the people in your eyes. .”

Tianyi Kingdom has experienced several generations of emperors, and the history books have mixed praise and criticism. Some people are surrounded by praise and praise, and they think he is a rare good emperor. There are also those who were criticized openly and secretly after their death, and felt that they were not worthy of being emperor.

But no matter which one it is, it can never be explained in just a few lines of text.

The quality of an emperor can only be left a few words in the history books, but for the common people, it may last a lifetime.

If the people of the world can find a good emperor who reduces taxes and eases labor, and the officials under his command are fair and strict, and try their best to protect the rights and safety of the people, they may be able to survive in a few decades. A little easier. On the contrary, a short life may be miserable.

Rather than caring about what is said in history books, it is better to see with your own eyes the living people who are running for a living day after day.

They will not leave a single word in the history books.

But they are more important than history books.

The wind blew across the sky, blowing away the clouds, and wisps of sunlight poured down onto the bustling streets.

But not many people stopped and looked up to take a look at the sunrise as the clouds dispersed.

They hawk and shout, they push carts and carry burdens. They are the most ordinary-looking existences in Jinzhou City. Day after day, year after year, we keep our heads down and bend over, running for a living.

But it was these people who formed a huge Jinzhou City.

It supports those in power, those in power, and drives the entire country forward.

And they deserve to be protected by their dependents.

……

Five days later, news came from Danyue Kingdom, agreeing to change the meeting place of the Three Kingdoms to Guiyang Mountain.

Xiao Jinzhi and Chu Huanyan also packed their bags and officially set off.

Chu Huanyan said goodbye to Zhou Yubai. The moment she stepped onto the carriage, she stopped and turned to look back.

Zhou Yubai, Zhou Xuanqi, and Zhou Muting all stood at the door and watched them leave.

On the second day after being rescued, Zhou Muting had already solemnly confessed and apologized in front of Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi, and everything seemed to have settled.

Looking at the Zhou family, although Chu Huanyan had already made up her mind not to return to the Zhou family, at this moment, perhaps because of separation, sadness still filled her heart.

"Take care." Chu Huanyan said softly, opened the curtain and walked into the carriage.

Zhou Yubai stood at the door, watching Chu Huanyan leave. He still didn't turn around to go home until the carriage completely disappeared.

"Father, let's go back." Zhou Xuanqi stood beside his father and spoke softly.

But Zhou Yubai still stood there, the wind blowing in his clothes and seeming to blow the white hair on his head into chaos.

"Xuan Qi, do you still remember when your sister left?"

Zhou Xuanqi was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Remember."

At that time, his father did not agree with his sister's adoption of Chu Ziyuan and the others, and he might still have some resentment in his heart, but he just stood in the house instead of seeing her off at the door.

But who could have imagined that after that farewell, it would become an eternal farewell.

Over the years, he and his father had been choking and unwilling to go to the imperial city. Although they exchanged some letters, most of them were just ordinary greetings. The younger sister may also feel guilty and has never returned to Jinzhou.

"Just watching Huanyan leave, my father couldn't help but think, if I could have given Linlang a gift, I would have felt less regretful."

"Father……"

"You remember." Zhou Yubai looked at Zhou Xuanqi and Zhou Muting, "Don't imitate me in the future, because a moment of anger will leave you with lifelong regrets."

"Grandpa, grandson, remember." Zhou Muting nodded and spoke.

Zhou Xuanqi also agreed, then held Zhou Yubai's arm and said, "Father, go back. The wind is a bit strong today, so don't stand too long. As for Huanyan, as long as you take care of yourself, we will definitely be able to meet again in the future."

"See you again?" Zhou Yubai exhaled and slowly shook his head, "No, it's still not good. I'm satisfied to be able to see him again. I just hope that everything will go well for this child and that he will be...safe in his life."
