New Shun 1730

"How long do you think the emperor can live?"

After talking about the future escape, Liu Yu suddenly asked such a "treasonous" question.

He did not call him Your Majesty, but only the emperor. And how long can he live.

Tian Zhenyi only cared about the question itself, but not the etiquette format of the question.

After thinking seriously for a while, he shook his head and said, "No one can say about life span. But if there is no acute illness, according to the royal family's history, twenty or thirty years should be no problem. However, if the third brother has the intention to escape, he can't delay it for so long."

"Although it will take twenty or thirty years, it is best to escape in more than ten years."

"People say that retreating at the peak of one's career is a great wisdom. You don't want to retreat, and you don't believe in the saying that the emperor wants his subjects to die, so you can only run away when no one can see it."

"In terms of life and death, it is best to run away now. But I know what you are thinking, and there are still many things to do, so you can't just talk about life and death."

"But if it takes too long, when the emperor really feels that his life is coming to an end, it will be difficult to escape."

"The rest of the things that the third brother has to do..."

Tian Zhenyi thought about it and paused the words that were about to come out.

She had heard many "stories" told by Liu Yu. She was also a person who was curious about astronomy and the universe when she was a child. She knew that the mysteries of the world were endless, and now she believed that the potential of machinery was unlimited.

Since it is infinite, there should be no end to what needs to be done.

Today, let the people wear one foot of cotton cloth a year, and tomorrow let the people change clothes every month, where is the end?

If you don't have such a saintly compassion, then in terms of personal preferences, how can you examine it when the upper and lower are not yet formed? Who can reach the limit of darkness? Feng Yi is only an image, how can you know it? What is the time for light and darkness? The circle is nine layers, who can manage it? Aren't you curious about these questions and want to figure them all out?

The rest of the things...

The rest of the things, the previous principle of benevolence and righteousness thought that the end is to return to the rule of the Three Dynasties.

But now it seems that the rest of the things are endless, and you can't even see where to go. How can it be compared with the previous return to the rule of the Three Dynasties?

Endless, where is the end?

Thinking of this, Tian Zhenyi changed her words and said, "In the past, Duke Zhou established rituals, which were passed down for two thousand years; Confucius became a saint, and his benevolence and righteousness lasted for more than a thousand years. These are all saints."

"How can you and I compare with saints? Why do you always talk about things that last a thousand years?"

"If you have some ambition, I think you should take a hundred years as the period. This hundred years is probably the limit of what ordinary people can see."

"Besides, Zhu Ming fell and Dashun rose. Not to mention that Emperor Taizu entered the capital and left, just talking about the Battle of Jingxiang, it has been a hundred years."

"Things that lasted a hundred years, now think of it as history. Now the court , no one has ever experienced what happened back then. A few days ago, the old Earl of Xingcheng passed away, and even the people born before Emperor Shizong abdicated to Emperor Gaozong are gone. "

"A hundred years is too long."

"Third brother, what you want to do may be considered as a hundred years. If you think that there is something that you must do within a hundred years, then do it; if within this hundred years, you, Liu Yu, are missing, but there are still Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li Yu, then you don't have to do it."

When Tian Zhenyi mentioned a hundred years, Liu Yu knew what she meant. She meant that the things that Liu Yu usually talked about might not be accomplished in a hundred years. If you really want to do everything, you might not be able to complete it until you die.

In this case, think about what must be done and what others can do without you. Distinguish them, do the things that must be done well, and then fly away.

However, Tian Zhenyi's words of a hundred years made Liu Yu a little stunned for a while.

A hundred years...

A hundred years...

Liu Yu thought to himself, yes, a hundred years.

One hundred years ago, the world was about to fall. Emperor Taizu of Dashun died in Jiugong Mountain in the month when he pacified Nanyang.

It has been exactly one hundred years.

Some time ago, the only "second generation of meritorious officials" left in the court, the 100-year-old Xingcheng Bo, also passed away, just when Dashun not only saved the world, but also took back Nanyang.

On May 17th a hundred years ago, the hero who promoted the Yibing and equalized the land and exempted the grain died in Jiugong Mountain.

On May 17th a hundred years later, the Dashun Dynasty completed the installation of the fortress artillery of Colombo Fort in Ceylon, and officially changed "Colombo" to the old Chinese name "Gaolangbu", which is a translation of "coolie" in both pronunciation and meaning. It established the first military fortress in the Indian Ocean; and sent the first colonization team to the continent in the southern hemisphere in Jakarta, which was renamed "Coconut Grove City", with 200 people, 50 sheep, 20 cows, 12 horses, as well as cats and dogs.

The death of the old "second generation of meritorious officials" who theoretically witnessed the abdication of Emperor Shizong to Emperor Gaozong was almost at the time when Dashun pacified Nanyang and drove away the Westerners who had occupied Nanyang for more than a hundred years.

It was like the change of times.

This was the previous hundred years.

What about the next hundred years?

It was exactly the 1840s.

If it was the events in the world in 1840, it seemed to be almost over.

But if it was the events in the world in 1848, it seemed to be far from it.

Judging from the events in the world in 1840, if it were in the past, the opium in the Gengzi Year might have been a common necessity in the dynasty, but the failure in the Jiawu Year a few decades later was a unique humiliation.

Now looking at the present, the emperor can still move forward for a few more years, or even more than ten years.

At least, Liu Yu can be sure that the opium incident in the Gengzi Year will not happen again. The failure of the Jiawu Year would have been unlikely if it was Dashun, but he also killed it in advance just in case.

If we only look at a hundred years, and only look at the internal affairs of the world in 1840, it seems that we can really learn from Liu Hou and Tao Zhu at this time.

But if you look outside the world and within the world, if you see the world events in 1848... the storm is rising, the black flag and the red flag are being raised, the barricades are smoke, the crown is about to fall, the king is shivering, the noble women are fleeing in disguise, the republican trend is resurrected, and the declaration is flying. Born.

What we are doing now is not enough.

After seriously considering Tian Zhenyi's question, Liu Yu frowned and thought for a long time, and said slowly: "If it takes a hundred years, there will still be a few things that need to be done. There is still some left to do."

Tian Zhenyi nodded and did not ask what else to do, knowing that Liu Yu would tell her slowly in the future. At this point, just know that you have to keep doing something.

"That's fine. Didn't His Majesty ask you to supervise the industrial and commercial affairs? In fact, you don't need to be involved in military matters. Since I have given you the task of supervising the industrial and commercial affairs, just take advantage of the situation and do it well."

"Those military matters, you said that the military is the continuation of politics, the essence of politics, and the economy. Then I think you can just take care of economic matters."

"Whether it's India or Nanyang, if those people go to fight, they may not be inferior to you. You do everything yourself, and they are just awls, so how can they stand out?"

"If you want to keep doing it, I will stay with you."

"Let it be whatever happens in the future. Why worry?"

After saying that, Tian Zhenyi stretched out her hand, hooked Liu Yu's neck, stood on tiptoes, kissed her softly and said: "To be honest, if the woman next to you hears you talk about astronomy, geography, and economics, it will always be boring. But. I really can’t get enough of it.”

"I just like watching all this change slowly. It feels like watching a piece of water that has never been rippled suddenly start to ripple."

"It's such a big lake, but I don't know why the ripples arise or where they come from. It's an unexpected surprise."

"Now every time I look at it, it looks like spring flowers after the winter snow has melted. Even if I heard you say it and knew it would be like that, I am still happy."

"Everyone knows that when the snow melts and spring comes, flowers will bloom. But who is not happy about spring flowers?"

"More than ten years ago, I liked you on the banks of the Heilongjiang River, wearing a big cloak and catching the barbarians in the rain. At that time, I wrote you many, many letters, and I wanted to tell you everything about me."

"Now, I still like you. But I don't want to write anymore, and I don't want to write everything about myself to you. At that time, I wrote to you for the days without you. Now I just look forward to it. , experience the days to come with you.”

"No matter what happens in the future, I think it's worth it. Whether it's life or death, the most exciting thing is the excitement. If you can watch the world change, wouldn't it be more enjoyable than watching a hundred dramas? Besides, you can accompany me I’ll watch it together, and I’ll watch it with you too.”

When Liu Yu heard this, his heart felt warm and indescribably comfortable.

With Nephrite in his arms, his hair gently disturbed his chin and neck, making him feel slightly itchy. I couldn't help but smell Tian Zhenyi's hair. I was intoxicated by the faint fragrance of flowers, but what I couldn't hide was the faint coconut-like fragrance.

I couldn't help but stretched out my hand, hugged Tian Zhenyi in my arms, and wrapped her up tightly. Tian Zhenyi no longer moved, but gently hugged him, lying on his chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat.

After a long while, Liu Yu gently blew on Tian Zhenyi's earlobe. Her body suddenly softened and she lazily muttered: "What are you doing?"

Liu Yu blew lightly twice more and whispered in his ear: "You say that, I like you even more."

Tian Zhenyi, who was already limp, stretched out her hand, tried it a little, and muttered: "It's too cold and the wind is strong. I'm afraid if I catch a cold..."

As he said this, his body moved away softly, stretched out his hand to hold the railing of the hot air balloon's basket, and shook his waist slightly.

My heart was burning, and there was a bit of coolness in the high-altitude wind. I felt a hand slowly approaching from my back, trying to lift up my skirt, and my whole body suddenly trembled.

His face was not red at all, he just lowered his head and looked at the many ant-sized people on the ground. Even though he was so high up and there were hanging baskets, he couldn't see them.

But just at this time, someone below shouted something unknown. It was not calling them, maybe it was just a chore, but the still calm voice finally came.

So her face turned red, she reached back and opened the hand that had touched the skirt, and changed her mind.

Then he pulled Liu Yu and slowly sat beside the hanging basket. With his heart pounding, he glanced at the height of the hanging basket's frame, glanced at the falcons flying high in the distance, and slowly leaned down. , bend your head lower...
