"Minister..."
The old emperor chuckled and said, "What crime does Xu Qing have? Everything he says and does is for my realm, truly a gentleman-scholar. I have said before, I do like such people. Alas, I am old now, so there are some things I cannot do as he advises."
In his youth, he too dreamt of reviving Great Yu.
Only at his age now did he understand, all the so-called great achievements are worth nothing before the decline of old age.
Only while he lives do all these things have meaning.
Once he is gone, all will vanish like smoke.
Xu Qing is still a young man, with a long future ahead, his heart harboring the whole world.
While he, at the twilight of his life, can only harbor himself.
However, managing the kingdom well is also a way to extend his lifespan, their goals are temporarily aligned.
"Your Majesty is magnanimous and generous..." the Chaotian Temple Master praised.
