The daily life of the retired devil

"Hurry up! Master, drive me to Zhongzhou Publishing House!"

"Okay! Sit still!"

As soon as he got into the car, Gu Han trembled and opened the book again.

【…

From then on, I began to review memorials with my father.

22 days a month, four hours a day, nothing can be shaken.

And after four hours, I will learn some physical exercises from my second father.

Compared with the boring memorials and dizzying numbers, I actually prefer the physical exercise of my second father, so later, some people said that I spent more time with my second father and was raised by my second father.

Well, I would like to, but four hours a day can't escape!

……

After reviewing the memorials with my father, I saw a brand new world.

This world is boundless and gorgeous, with high-ranking officials praising their virtues, flourishing flowers, and grand sights from all nations coming to court... Here, everything is beautiful, everyone is kind, and everyone can get the best life. It seems that Zhao Guo has really entered the world of Datong.

But in the afternoon, under the guidance of my father, I will read the information handed over by the supervisor, to brush away the blooming flowers of the prosperous age, and to see the shocking maggots and rot hidden underneath.

It's hard for me to describe how I felt at the time.

Just like when I think about it now, I still don’t want to believe all of this——

The cold-faced and warm-hearted wife who demanded himself according to the standards of a gentleman is the one who buried 26 lives in private to occupy the land and run on business; The person who robbed the women of the people, forced nearly ten innocent women to become his concubines, and even killed the other's parents and husbands for this; and the upright official who pleaded for the people in the court was actually a huge corrupt man who colluded with the Ministry of Commerce; The big squire who gave alms every month out of pity for the refugees was the one who colluded with the village's ancestral hall and abused the fatherless and motherless children...

For a whole month, I was a little bit overwhelmed.

I hesitated for a long time, and finally asked my father why this world is like this, and why everything that looks beautiful is so fragile, just like a flower in a mirror and a moon in water.

My father told me that in this society with emperors, the distribution of benefits has never been based on the amount of contribution, but on the basis of the degree of power. For this reason, they did not hesitate to crush their own kind into mud.

It appears in the information that these people harmed others, just like how the cousin Zhao Min harmed the servants back then. Many times, people even didn't realize that this was the harm, and they didn't realize that the other party was as flesh and blood as themselves, with parents and brothers. People... all of this is because of "power".

At the same time, some people who originally wanted to break the shackles of "power", after joining the circle of "power" and becoming a member of using "power", they will forget their original intentions at a terrifying speed.They originally wanted to stand on the opposite side of "power", but soon became a more solid cornerstone of "power", frantically eating everything that deprived them of their uniqueness... This is human nature, and this is power.

"So, is there really no cure for all this?" I couldn't help asking my father, and even felt panic in my heart, "Will I be like this in the future?"

"I won't have this chance." The emperor touched my head and said, "All the things collected from the special will eventually return to their original owners."

"Sorry Father, I didn't understand." I said.

"It's okay, you will understand later."

Up to now, I can’t remember the expression of my father’s expression when he spoke—maybe he was smiling, maybe he wasn’t—but such a passage, I recalled it over and over again after I got the status of "citizen" of Xinguo.

I thought, father, he really never believed me.

He didn't believe that I would maintain a clear and calm mind under the corruption of power, and he didn't believe that I could still maintain the compassion for people when I was a prince after being a master for many years. Push everything to the extreme, so that the world after his death can function as he expected.

Father actually never believed me.

He is right.

……

I don’t know how many years after I became emperor, I slowly changed my attitude towards those people who I used to disdain very much—those gentry, high-ranking officials, country gentry, and big businessmen who seemed to be cruel and heartless in the eyes of the common people, I think I have begun to understand them up.

Because the emperor is really a very hard job, and there are really too many things to manage. Even if I just give a general direction and hand over many things to the officials, I still have to be responsible for them. Show me the way!

I am exhausted physically and mentally.

And under such circumstances, if I still want to restrain my desires, restrain my privileges, and live like those ordinary people, what's the point of being an emperor?

I am really having a hard time.

And I am the emperor!God has endowed me with such power, so why not let me indulge?

This is what I deserve after working so hard!

So I changed.

I became, of course, the kind of person I hated the most as a teenager.

I started to build palaces, summer resorts, and everything that I once envied and restrained from thinking about.

Anyway, my father left me a sufficient treasury before his death, so why not use it a little?I am the emperor!

Later, fortunately or unfortunately, before I could do anything more outrageous, the New Party’s rebel army came before me.

These great businessmen and squires who defeated the decayed gentry and royal families, defeated the remnants of the army, came to me holding "Critique of Political Economy" and "New Democracy" that I had read but had no interest in, and will I kicked off the throne.

What a ridiculous thing.

These people took the book written by my father and ruined my father's country.

——I used to think so resentfully and full of curses, if my father knew all this, would he regret his past actions.

However, when I took off the crown in front of countless people and cameras and announced the abdication of the last emperor Zhao Feng, I looked at this world where a group of people had been completely changed without any major disaster, and suddenly understood something .

Royal father, he actually never chose me.

He just gave his things to people in another world through my hands.

He believes that this new world will no longer be bound by power, but instead will lock power and capital into cages, because the power handed over to the emperor from everyone has been returned to everyone with the disappearance of the emperor .

This is the world he wants.

And I am just the key between the two worlds.

I finally figured this out.

……

After many years, I finally saw the world in the eyes of my father.

I have to admit, he was right.

He is always right.

……

This is my life.

This is my royal father, Zhao Sheng. 】

At this moment, Gu Han once again turned to the title page——

The filth of the country is called the master of the country, and the bad luck of the country is the king of the world.

She looked at this line of words, blinked, and suddenly burst into tears.

·

After that, another 20 years passed.

The last emperor in the world, Zhao Feng, has passed away, and Gu Han of Zhongzhou Publishing House has also been the chief editor for many years.

Twenty years ago, Gu Han became famous in one fell swoop with "Memoirs of the Last Emperor" and "Biography of Emperor Zhao Zheng" which combines memoirs and epics!

The truth hidden in these books has shocked the entire historical world. Even historical textbooks, literary works, film and television themes, etc. have been drastically changed because of this, causing a lot of wailing, and countless people who have spoken rudely to Emperor Zhao Zheng Confession—after all, who would have thought that the real author of "Critique of Political Economy" and "New Democracy" was actually Zhao Zhengdi?

Who the hell would have known that Emperor Zhao Zheng was so powerful that he hammered feudalism with his left hand and capitalism with his right hand, and finally hammered out a communism with his own hands?

This is so goddamn!Are you really the emperor? !

If there were no historical materials and memoirs to testify, who would believe it? !

It is precisely because of such earth-shattering news that Gu Han, who has become famous over the years, has been invited countless times to give speeches at various TV stations and schools, to tell about Zhao Zhengdi's life, his thinking process, his policies and influence, and the events he stirred up. World situation.

And on this day, Gu Han received another invitation from a school to give a speech.

On the way to school, Gu Han unconsciously turned into a bookstore, picked up a book, and looked a little surprised.

"The third edition of Memoirs of the Last Emperor? Is it already the third edition?"

Gu Han was a little funny.

The owner of the bookstore thought that Gu Han was the book buyer, and when he saw her pick up the book, he shouted loudly.

"Ma'am, are you buying books for your family? Our bookstore just happens to have an event, "Memoirs of the Last Emperor" and "Biography of Emperor Zhao Zheng". Buy the two books together and get [-]% off!"

Gu Han froze for a moment, turned to the other side of the bookshelf, and saw his own "Biography of Emperor Zhao Zheng".

Her expression gradually became complicated, she reached out to take off the book, gently flipped the title page, and read it slowly.

At this moment, she seemed to return to the tear-filled afternoon 20 years ago.

[In this world, following the rules and being independent is the option with the lowest cost and the highest return, but there will always be some people who, after seeing the truth of all this, still ignore their fame and do some earth-shattering events.

The crime in the present age, the merits will cover the future.

Do not destroy the heroic soul, revitalize our homeland.

——The Biography of Emperor Zhao Zheng. 】

The author has something to say: I was going to sleep, but finally got up and finished writing the little Xie in my heart

Ah, I really still like Xiaoxie

This episode is too long, it’s a bit inappropriate to put it behind the small world, so at first I thought about not writing it at all, but in view of everyone’s strong request, hahaha, I still wrote it

The liver is tired, no update on the tenth

On the 11th, I wrote a side story of the interstellar chapter, about the truth about why Xiao Xie is a "perfect fraudster"
