Could Zui Qianqiu be the Fourth Prince Lu Qiuxi? This is a surprising discovery. But if he was the fourth prince and saw his eldest brother and fifth brother, why didn't he recognize each other? And what is the purpose of his arrival today?
"No, I still have to look for it." Lu Manxi stood up and started to walk out.
Xunfan stepped forward to stop him, "If he is the fourth prince, then he doesn't want to recognize you at all now. He said we would meet again, so there is no rush."
"That's right." Lu Manxi nodded, with a complex expression of excitement, happiness, and anxiety on his face. Who wouldn’t be excited when a brother who has been missing for nearly twenty years appears?
With this episode, the party ended early. The Lu brothers had no intention of drinking here. They wanted to go back as soon as possible to tell their father, emperor and mother the news.
Everyone returned to their residence. Telling the emperor the news was a private matter of the Lu family, and no one was involved. One night passed, and suddenly someone came to report that something had happened in the palace.
Wu Zhan was very anxious and led everyone to the palace. Entering the palace, I saw Bai Ling everywhere. After questioning, I found out that the emperor had died.
This was too sudden. Xunfan, Situ You, and Leng Wushuang have found the antidote. As long as the emperor takes it on time, the poison will be completely resolved sooner or later. But the emperor died. What happened?
Wu Zhan and the others rushed to the emperor's palace.
When we arrived at the emperor's palace, the road was long and long, and everyone was kneeling there. The emperor was lying peacefully on the bed, with a graceful old woman sitting next to him. It must be the queen.
Wu Zhan walked quickly to Lu Yuanxi and asked, "Xiaoyuan, what's going on?" Lu Yuanxi didn't say anything, but just handed Wu Zhan a few pieces of paper.
Martial warfare begins, which was written by the emperor during his lifetime. It is the emperor's suicide note.
"My favorite, my wife. Man'er, Yuan'er, Yuanyuan, my children. I'm gone, don't be sad."
"I am a person who should have died twenty years ago. You should be happy for me that I have lived twenty more years."
"For so many years, I have been sleeping with the God of Death. But I didn't dare to die. I was afraid. I was afraid of seeing Brother Zheng underground and the ancestors of the Lu family and the Wu family. How to explain to them? So I told myself to live Go down and survive no matter what kind of pain you endure. I want to find the real culprit who framed the Wu family, and now I finally found it."
"But my guilt has not diminished a little because the Wu family's great revenge has been avenged. On the contrary, it has become more intense. It was me, a member of the Lu family, who harmed the Wu family, and he is already dead. Could it be that revenge can make up for the Wu family? Injured?"
"As an emperor, I have a sycophantic minister like Lu. As the eldest brother, I failed to protect the safety of brother Zheng's family. As the uncle, I failed to take good care of the war boy, which has embarrassed the Wu family for more than 20 years. I am A sinner does not deserve to be alive."
"I will finally see them today. I can also apologize in person and win their forgiveness."
"In addition, about Qiu Xi. If he is Qiu Xi, he should not come to see me. He has been missing for so long. As a father and an emperor, I have not been able to find him. A competent father has no right to demand that he come to see me."
These words are full of deep apologies, apologies to the family, and guilt to the Wu family. Emperors are supposed to be tough-hearted and ruthless people. But this emperor was very affectionate and always asked himself whether he was doing the right thing for everyone. This is a benevolent king who is absolutely worthy of people's respect.
"I have an important decision to make."
"Today, the trend of cultivation is prevalent. This continent is no longer the original continent, and the previous governance methods are no longer suitable. I believe that in a few years, there will be more and more people cultivating. Such changes must have corresponding consequences. Governance method. So I decided to let the Lu family give up their position as emperor. Let the heroes of the world study together to formulate a governance method that is more suitable for today."
"The wind of cultivation has emerged, and such great changes will not be limited to our planet. Everyone should take a longer-term view and focus on the future. Maybe such changes will bring disaster."
"I give my advice as an old man and a former emperor. No matter what method is used to govern this planet in the future, its leaders should no longer adopt the hereditary method. Those who are capable are the kingly way. .”
"Nowadays, heroes appear frequently. Among the people I know and interact with, Situ You and Leng Wushuang are too aloof, as if they are not of the same era as us. Qianxunyu and Xunfan are the hope of the future, but Qianxunyu does things Too ruthless, and Xunfan is too kind. Neither of them are the best leaders."
"Excluding these four people, looking at the heroes in the world, there are not many people who can lead. Yuanxi is a more suitable choice. Yuanxi has a strong view of the overall situation and has experience in governing the country. Although he is not the strongest, Yes, but he is definitely an excellent person in terms of management. I recommend Yuanxi, not because he is my son, but I believe everyone knows Yuanxi as a person. But I live in a deep palace and know very little about outstanding people in the world. If If there are other more suitable candidates than Yuan Xi, he can also be chosen as the leader. If there is a suitable person among the beasts, don't limit yourself to only humans being able to lead. We are all creatures of the same world, with the same roots, why By race.”
This is indeed a big decision. Although the emperor was seriously ill, he had a clear mind and a clear understanding of world affairs. The current world is indeed no longer suitable for the previous governance methods. How broad-minded it is to be able to tell the Lu family to let go of their position as emperor. But he did not avoid suspicion and recommended the road far away. Appointing people on their merits further demonstrates their selfless nature.
"The most important thing now is to resolve the matter in the Western Region. Don't delay, so as not to cause trouble again. Remember this."
"I have a lot of worries, but I am already a mortal person. I won't think about it anymore and let me, an old man, be lazy for a while. The world will be left to you young people. I hope everyone will work hard and don't be ashamed of the people in the world. , I am ashamed of my descendants, so that our planet continent can stand in the boundless starry sky."
"My family, my subjects, I'm gone. Don't be sad, because I went to the place I wanted to go to the most and to meet the people I wanted to see the most. Everyone should be happy for me."
Everyone took turns to read this suicide note, and they all admired the emperor's heart that was comparable to the stars. What kind of courage, this empire just gives up. He has an extremely far-sighted vision and cares about the whole world. Great and selfless, a saint.
Xunfan asked: "Didn't the emperor take the medicine we prepared?"
"No." Lu Yuanxi replied sadly.
The emperor wanted nothing more than to die. No longer lingering on the world.
Suddenly a gust of wind rushed over, and a figure was already standing in front of everyone, facing the bed where the emperor was lying on his back.
It was him, the alcoholic lunatic who claimed to be Zui Qianqiu and was suspected to be Lu Qiuxi.
This Zui Qianqiu came too suddenly, and the speed was staggering.
He was seen slowly kneeling down in front of the emperor's corpse. He kowtowed three times, stood up slowly, and turned around to leave with an expressionless face.
"Stop." The Queen shouted to him. "You are my son Qiuxi. You are back. Are you leaving now? Your father has left. You still have me as your mother, as well as your brothers and sisters. Don't you even care about me? Qiuer." The queen choked with sobs, her husband was gone forever, and her son, who had been missing for many years, returned in a hurry and was about to leave again.
The queen's words made her drunk for a long time, but she still moved forward. "It doesn't matter who I am, and it doesn't matter who you are."
Lu Yuanxi and Lu Manxi hurried forward, trying to keep him by force. But it was in vain. Zui Qianqiu seemed to be walking at an unhurried pace, but he was already a hundred meters away. After a few flashes, it disappeared from people's sight. The vaguely understood poem came from the air.
"Heaven and earth are a pot of wine, and I have been drunk for several spring and autumn years. I have not yet awakened from the dream, and I am lying drunk in the world. How can I come and go in the wine pot in the sky."
The queen had burst into tears, and the emperor passed away. Si'er goes away. As a wife, she lost her husband, and as a mother, she watched the son she had missed for many years leave again. Who can not be sad?
There is no doubt that Zui Qianqiu is the way to go. Mother was unmistakable. The original bloodline is something you are born with. As for the emperor, he could come to say goodbye when his father passed away. It also shows that he is Lu Qiuxi. But why did he come and leave in such a hurry? Has he gone crazy again? is there any other reason?
And his cultivation level is extremely strong. His movements in coming and going were very skillful, just like Xunfan, and both Situ You and Leng Wushuang were deeply impressed by it.
A mysterious man.
Last night, Xunfan asked Situ You and Leng Wushuang about Zui Qianqiu. Based on their experience, they didn't know the existence and origin of this crazy person.
