Chapter 845: Goodbye Jiang Ming
In the 12th year of Yongsheng, in early spring, the spring river was warm. In the morning, the sun was shining. On Qinxin Lake, there were a few rafts and a few beautiful figures, and the laughter was rising and falling. Ning Caichen stood on the bow of the cruise ship, looking at Bai Xue who was rowing a raft below playing like a girl. Yongle, Zhao Linger, Yun Yao and a few girls, behind him, the guqin was clanging and melodious. This was Fu Qingfeng and Nie Xiaoqian sitting together playing the piano. The two really looked so similar, just like carved from the same mold. Now wearing the same white clothes, sitting together was simply twin sisters, and it was hard to tell.
The spring breeze blows gently, causing ripples on the lake surface, reflecting ripples in the sun, and also blowing the white veil and curtains on the boat, blowing the hem of the skirts where Bai Susu, Meiji, Meier, Chen Yuanyuan and other women were dancing.
"Maybe, it's good to keep going like this, and live happily this life..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ning Caichen suddenly had this idea in his mind. He no longer thought about ancient things, nor did he think about breaking the seal of this world. Anyway, the world is unified and the world is unified, and he has reached a peak that most people cannot reach in their lifetime. Why do you have to pursue ancient times? Just live happily with your family, as long as you live happily in this way, you can live your life happily. As for the death, you don’t care about the flood.
This is not the first time Ning Caichen has come up with this idea. Since the Miracle Continent surrendered and the world has been truly unified, Ning Caichen has come up with this idea more than once every time he is with Bai Susu and others, because he really likes the feeling at this moment. The family is living a happy and carefree life, and he doesn't want such a scene to be destroyed.
"Husband." Bai Susu walked from behind, hugged Ning Caichen's waist with both hands, and pressed her whole body against Ning Caichen's back: "What are you thinking, so trance?"
With his head leaning against Ning Caichen's shoulder, Bai Susu looked at Ning Caichen's side face without blinking, with deep obsession in her eyes.
"I was thinking that the world is now pacified, and we will be like this in the future. The whole family will be together forever and be happy. If we get tired of staying in the capital, we will go out to play and travel all over the world."
Ning Caichen smiled slightly and said, "It is not a great blessing in life to be invincible with the world, and letting go of everything is not necessarily a great blessing in life." Hearing Ning Caichen's words, Bai Susu's eyes were first happy, and her eyes showed a look of yearning, but soon, a hint of gloom in her eyes.
"Being able to be with your husband in this life is Susu's greatest happiness in life. But Susu is afraid and cannot accompany your husband to the end." Bai Susu held Ning Caichen's arms tightened unconsciously, as if she was afraid that Ning Caichen would suddenly leave: "It would be great if a person did not have birth, old age, sickness and death, and Susu could be with his husband forever."
"Su Su is afraid that her husband will grow old early and cannot accompany her until the end."
Ning Caichen's body was trembling like a thunder blew in his mind. Yes, even if he wanted to continue like this, even until he died, how long could Bai Susu and the others accompany him? With his current cultivation level, his life span is at least five hundred years. Even if Bai Susu and the others broke through to the realm of martial arts and magical powers, they were only over two hundred years old, but only half of their lives. For the next half of their lives, it was difficult to walk by themselves. Watching Bai Susu and the others grow old one by one, then disappear in their lives, leaving only themselves alone, and spending the second half of their lives alone, Ning Caichen could not imagine that if this was the case, he would see his wife dying in front of him one by one, Ning Caichen felt that he might go crazy.
"Don't worry, no, I will keep holding you in my hands, and no one can take you away." He held Bai Susu's hand in front of his waist with both hands. Ning Caichen smiled gently, turned his head and kissed Bai Susu's forehead: "In this life, in this life, we will walk together, and no one can be missing."
"Well" Bai Susu blushed a little by the sudden love words of Ning Caichen, and responded shyly, but her heart was sweet, and the trace of sadness just now also dissipated.
Ning Caichen smiled slightly and pulled Bai Susu in front of him and held it in his arms.
After a day of traveling on Qinxin Lake, Ning Caichen took his daughters back to the palace in the evening. Just after the dinner, Li Zi hurried in and reported a message to Ning Caichen-
"Your Majesty, Lord Fu Tianchou is gone."
Little Lizi reported to Ning Caichen that Bai Susu, Yongle, Yang Ruyu, Yun Yao, and Zhao Ling'er were all there. When they heard the news, they were all stunned. Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi's two women were even more shocked, and their eyes suddenly turned red.
"When did it happen?" Ning Caichen took a deep breath and asked.
"Just just now, I heard from the housekeeper of Lord Fu's mansion that Lord Fu went to bed to rest after dinner, and then went there. Just now, Prime Minister Zhuge and Lord Ji and others went there and also asked the imperial doctor for examination. The imperial doctor said that Lord Fu is old and is a normal death. The imperial doctor also said that Lord Fu left peacefully."
When he said the last sentence, Li Zi glanced at the two sisters Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi. This was obviously said to Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi. However, it was obvious that Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi were obviously in sadness at this time and did not listen to Li Zi's words. Ning Caichen sighed in his heart, not knowing what to say. Fu Tianchou is indeed old and looks old when he resigned from office two years ago. At that time, Ning Caichen knew that Fu Tianchou had not had much time, but now when he heard the news of Fu Tianchou's death, he was a little touched. Fu Tianchou left, who will be the next one?
Time is the ruthless butcher knife. Who can avoid this knife? From the time when Jin State was established to the present, Fu Tianchou is one of the old ministers of Jin State and also a person around him. Now that Fu Tianchou has left, who will be the next one?
"Mr. Fu is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has worked diligently for our Jin Kingdom. Now that Mr. Fu is gone, let's go and send him the last journey." Ning Caichen sighed.
"No!" Little Lizi responded.
"Um."
Bai Susu, Yongle and some women nodded, while Nie Xiaoqian and Gan Yuying held the shoulders of Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi respectively.
"Don't be too sad, and Lord Fu left peacefully, let's go together."
Ning Caichen looked at the two girls Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi again.
"Yes" Hearing Ning Caichen's words, the two women nodded with red eyes.
Half an hour later, Ning Caichen and his group came to Fu Mansion. Many people had already arrived here, including a group of ministers of the court, including Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, Fan Zeng, Han Xin, Chen Gong, Ji Yuan, Ji Xuan, Liu Qingcheng, Tang Renjing and others. There were no less than a hundred officials of all sizes. When they saw Ning Caichen and his group coming, they all came forward to salute.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, I've seen all the ladies!"
"Get up."
Ning Caichen said something, and then walked into the room with Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi. At this time, Fu Tianchou was still lying on the boat, wearing white pajamas, lying quietly on the boat. He had no sound, his face and lips had lost their blood, but his appearance did not look terrible. In addition to his pale face, he felt like he was asleep and walked peacefully.
"Dad" "Woo..."
Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi two girls walked quickly to Fu Tianchou's bed and couldn't help crying. There were two great pains in life, life and death, separation and family passing away, who could truly let go?
"Mr. Fu has been working hard for the country all his life, and he has devoted himself to it. The funeral will make the scenery more glorious. I personally send you the last journey of Lord Fu."
"promise!"
Fu Tianchou left, as expected, because Fu Tianchou was really old, but waiting for this day would touch people's hearts, especially some old founding ministers of Jin who were as old as Fu Tianchou. At this moment, they were even more touched, and some were uncomfortable. Life, old age, sickness and death are topics that people can never escape, and they are also the heaviest topics.
Fu Tianchou was buried on the third day, and the funeral was held very glorious. Ning Caichen personally brought the civil and military officials in the court to attend the funeral, and even many people from the capital.
Some people say that the death of an old man often represents the end of a generation. Ning Caichen felt that this sentence was not wrong at all. Just like Fu Tianchou, Fu Tianchou's death now, it also kicked off the end of their generation of officials. In the following days, Ning Caichen continued to receive letters from some officials to resign. They were all old ministers, belonging to Fu Tianchou's generation. Many of them were ministers who joined Jin after the Liang State was reinstated. They belonged to the same generation as Fu Tianchou. More than ten years have passed, and these people have also become old. At this moment, they chose to resign one after another.
Ning Caichen also approved this one by one, and there was no less regret of the old ministers, nor less joy of the old guys. It was more of a feeling. Looking back, I was in my thirties and had been in this world for more than ten years. More than ten years were like a dream, everything seemed to be inadvertently. Looking back, it turned out that so many people around me were old.
