Imperial City.
The gentle breeze lingered with the peaceful and melodious smell of fireworks, slowly drifting through the streets of the huge capital city.
The sound of hawking on the bustling streets is endless, painting the scenery of the world like a spring breeze.
There was silence in Mr. Xu Ge's office.
The old body was sitting tremblingly in the courtyard, waiting for the man in white to come.
The man in white asked him to go home and wait a few days before he came.
The elderly Xu Xixi has been waiting...
The Xu Mansion is now full of heirs, with three sons and two daughters, all of whom have descendants.
This life seems to be complete.
Xu Xixi resigned from her job and returned home a few days ago, and has never left home again.
There was quite a bit of criticism in the court regarding Mr. Xu Ge's resignation, but they thought it was because Xu Xixi was dismissed out of anger by Emperor Ying after he contradicted Emperor Ying in the court hall.
The so-called resignation is just to make him sound better.
However, all the officials were confused. Emperor Ying did not seem to be such a narrow-minded person, so why did he let Mr. Xu Ge resign?
All the officials lamented, and people often came to visit and asked about the reason.
Xu Xixi kept Su Mo's instructions in mind and just said: "It's time to have a good rest..."
The officials looked at Xu Xixi's expression and seemed to understand something, but none of them said anything else.
On this day, Emperor Ying came to visit.
Emperor Ying came to Xu Mansion alone without anyone, and he was greeted by Xu Xixi's eldest son.
The eldest son seemed a little flustered when he saw Emperor Ying coming, and immediately welcomed Emperor Ying in.
"Your Majesty, my father has been ill in bed for the past two days. He didn't know that Your Majesty was coming to visit. I didn't come to greet him from afar. I hope you will forgive me."
Emperor Ying waved his hand, "Nothing, I came here alone, I just don't want to attract attention."
"How is your father?"
The eldest son of Xu Mansion sighed and shook his head.
"The imperial doctors also came to see my father. They just said everything was fine and gave him blood-nourishing pills, but my father still..."
Ying Huang shook his head, "He is too old..."
The eldest son of the Xu family was startled, his eyes turned slightly red, and he said no more.
Emperor Ying said to the eldest son of Xu Mansion: "Take me to see Xu Qing."
"Yes!" The eldest son of the Xu family immediately stood up and led Ying Huang into the backyard.
Emperor Ying looked at the large and simple Xu Mansion and sighed deeply.
The dignified Xu Mansion is still so poor.
Xu Xixi devoted her life to the world, but she never brought much to her family.
Obviously, the world is not poor now...
Emperor Ying waved his hand to the eldest son of Xu Mansion, signaling him to step back, then he opened the door and walked into the dormitory.
There weren't many things in the dormitory, except for the bed and a bookcase.
Xu Xixi was lying on the bed, seemingly sleeping.
Feeling someone approaching, the elderly Xu Xixi slowly woke up, opened his eyes and saw Ying Huang beside him.
"His Majesty......"
Xu Xixi immediately struggled up, but was gently pushed back by Ying Huang.
"No need to be polite, Xu Qing just lies down."
Xu Xixi looked at Ying Huang, who had gray hair on his temples, and seemed to be choking, "I hope your majesty will forgive me for being unreasonable..."
"nothing."
Emperor Ying slowly sat on the edge of Xu Xixi's bed, looking at the late Xu Xixi, feeling a sigh of relief in his heart.
"You are so old..."
Xu Xixi's old face was filled with smiling wrinkles, and she slowly shook her head, "Your Majesty is getting old too."
Ying Huang nodded calmly, "Yes, you and I are already old."
"However, my cultivation level is higher than yours and I can live longer than you!"
Xu Xixi was startled, smiled bitterly and shook her head.
He found that Emperor Ying in front of him was much more active than before...
How could the former Emperor Ying, who looked so majestic, make such a joke. As for the reason, he naturally knows it.
It was simply because the return of the Human Emperor in white made Emperor Ying want to abdicate.
There is no need to put on that majestic look to scare the officials.
"God has given me a cultivation level that allows me to wait until my emperor returns, so there is not much meaning in living any longer. I am satisfied now." Xu Xixi looked distracted and looked at Ying Huang's calm words.
Emperor Ying shook his head and sighed deeply, "I remember when you were still a young man and stepped into the court."
"I watched you step by step until you reached a position below others, and now I'm watching you grow old."
"After all, my royal family owes you..."
Yes, when Bai Yi left, Xu Xixi was just a young man.
Xu Xixi shook her head, "I entered the court as an official just to repay my emperor for saving his life and to express his gratitude for his sacrifice of life for the common people in the world."
"Old minister also slowly realized the hardships of seeking life for the common people in the world."
"When the heart of repaying kindness fades away, I also understand that I care about the parents of the people. If I just want to repay the kindness, it is still not enough."
"Those who make a living for the world must first understand the sufferings of the common people!"
"The royal family owes me nothing. This is my lifelong wish!"
When he first entered the court, he just wanted to repay his kindness. Gradually, I came to understand that to protect the common people, it is not enough to just have a heart of repayment.
He also understood the vision that the Human Emperor in white carried in his heart.
Use your deeds as an official's credo throughout your life!
What Emperor Ying said: The royal family owes him because Xu Xixi delayed her cultivation in order to shoulder the fate of the common people.
If Xu Xixi had not become an official, perhaps his cultivation would not have been stuck at half-step into becoming a god...
But Xu Xixi thinks that practicing is of no use, and it can make him live longer, which is not bad.
In this way, we can also do more things for the people of the world...
Now that the world no longer needs him, there is no use living longer!
"This life is too tiring, it's better to rest early." The white clothes appeared in Xu Xixi's mind, and her eyes showed admiration.
That is really the person he has been chasing all his life...
Emperor Ying looked at Xu Xixi's tired and satisfied expression and sighed deeply, "It is a blessing for the people to have you in the world."
Xu Xixi shook her head in a daze, "The world is lucky, these are the four words of wisdom my emperor left to the world's scholars!"
Nowadays, all scholars in the world have been chasing those four sentences all their lives.
Respect it as the ambition of a sage!
Even he is like that...
After hearing Xu Xixi's words, Emperor Ying nodded in agreement, with a hint of pride in his expression.
"Let's go." Ying Huang stood up, looked at the poor mansion outside the window and sighed.
"Send your Majesty..." Xu Xixi wanted to get up.
Ying Huang shook his head, "No need!"
After saying that, Emperor Ying disappeared from the spot.
Xu Xixi looked at the direction where Emperor Ying disappeared, with a smile on his face and closed his eyes again.
He would continue to wait for the Human Emperor in white to arrive.
He said he was coming to tell him something...
"This world is so wonderful..."
