Chapter 1274: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (One Hundred and Sixty-Four) Seizing the Present

While cleaning up the messy case, He Weiyuan smiled and said to Gao Yuan: "Minister Wang is really interesting. Only he dares to quarrel with you, the king." He Weiyuan couldn't help laughing when he remembered how Wang Wudi stuffed the IOU into his mouth and swallowed it at lightning speed two years ago. At that time, Gao Yuan and He Weiyuan were both martial arts masters in the room, but no one could have thought that the then dignified Minister of Revenue would actually use this trick. They didn't react at all. The adults in the Political Affairs Hall in the room were stunned and could do nothing.

"For all these years, Minister Wang has been running such a big stall, which is also difficult for him. It was a mess at that time." Gao Yuan sat down, stretched out his legs, and let himself lie comfortably on the chair. "We are always short of money, and his family is in trouble."

"My king, do you really want to ask the Ministry of Finance for the unpaid wages for these years?" After tidying up the desk, He Weiyuan stood up and asked curiously.

"What do you think? Do you think I should ask for it?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.

He Weiyuan laughed, but did not speak.

"You also think I shouldn't ask for it, right?" Gao Yuan asked.

"My king, I just think that the whole world of Han belongs to you, and these hundreds of millions of people are your people. Isn't it the same whether you want this salary or not?" He Weiyuan shrugged and said.

Gao Yuan stared at He Weiyuan for a long time, shook his head and said, "You have been with me for so long, but you still think like this. It seems that it is not easy to change some deep-rooted things."

Looking at Gao Yuan's disappointed look, He Weiyuan said puzzledly: "Your Majesty, am I wrong?"

"Of course you are wrong." Gao Yuan said: "If you say that I am rich now, the dividends from those companies and workshops far exceed my salary. It doesn't matter whether I want it or not, I think this is reasonable, but you are wrong to say that the world belongs to me."

"I don't think there is anything wrong with this!" He Weiyuan rarely said to Gao Yuan, "Doesn't this Han Dynasty belong to you? Whose can it be?"

"Whose?" Gao Yuan stood up and paced a few steps in the room. "Of course it belongs to all the millions of people in the world. It belongs to me, yours, and everyone. Weiyuan, you must remember that turning a family into a country is the most unacceptable idea."

"Your Majesty!" He Weiyuan didn't understand Gao Yuan's idea.

"Take your time to read it, you will understand it little by little." Gao Yuan shook his head. This kind of thing.

I am afraid that it is difficult for people to understand it at once. Even Wang Wudi, a well-read scholar, does not understand it, let alone He Weiyuan. "The country I want is like this with me and like this without me."

"How can the Han Dynasty exist without the king?" He Weiyuan suddenly became anxious, "Whoever wants to rebel against the king, I will tear him into pieces."

Gao Yuan laughed. "Can you rebel against the King of Hell? Wei Yuan, how long can a person live? Finally one day. You are going to die, and so am I. If the Han Dynasty really cannot survive without me, that would be the biggest failure of my life."

"The Han Dynasty I want does not need a wise ruler, nor does it need the upright judge that the people call for. Because what does this show? It shows that there is still darkness in this world."

"But without a wise ruler and an upright judge, how can we protect the interests of ordinary people? Wouldn't that make it impossible for people with grievances to complain?"

"The system should make everyone understand little by little that what they can expect is not a wise ruler or an upright judge, but the system that our Han Dynasty is beginning to improve little by little, step by step. Wei Yuan, to be honest, I feel that it is much more difficult to establish such a country than to destroy the Qin and Chu countries."

He Wei Yuan stared at Gao Yuan, who was sighing, with a look of confusion on his face. If everything depends on the system, where will the king's majesty come from in the future?

Because the joy brought by the glass was diluted, Gao Yuan was a little depressed. He left the study and walked slowly towards the backyard with his hands behind his back. He Weiyuan wanted to follow him, but Gao Yuan waved his hand at him, indicating that he wanted to walk alone.

Walking on the path between the palaces, the pebbles embedded in the ground gently massaged the soles of his feet wearing soft-soled cloth shoes. The night breeze blew gently, and the landscape trees on both sides of the road danced with the wind. Looking up at the sky, small stars were embedded around the bright moon, and the soft moonlight sprinkled down, dragging his shadow long. Gao Yuan stopped for a moment, looking at this lonely shadow, and sighed silently. In this world, he was destined to be lonely, at least in his mind, he would always be lonely. Although he had tried his best to change the world, how much the world could change because of him was not something he could decide.

The sound of a zither came to his ears. The melodious sound of the zither suddenly pulled Gao Yuan's thoughts back from a distant place, cheering him up. Why think so much? Just do your best. You can't control the future, but you have the ability to control the present.

He quickened his pace and strode towards the backyard. He passed through a moon gate, and the scenery in front of him made him brighten up.

Under the bright moonlight, Ning Xin sat cross-legged, with the Jiaowei Qin placed on her knees. She plucked it lightly with her slender fingers, and bursts of melodious piano sounds slowly flowed out from her fingers like a gurgling stream. Ye Jing'er sat On one side, there was a tea set on the small table in front of the case, and they were concentrating on making tea. In front of them, He Lanyan, with flying gauze, was holding a long sword and dancing to the sound of music.

But what attracted Gao Yuan more was his three children. Zhiyuan also held a small sword in his hand and danced with He Lanyan in a decent manner. Looking at his movements, it was obvious that he had practiced for a long time, and he could barely follow. He Lanyan's movements could not be matched, and the younger Mingzhi could only hold a wooden sword in his hand. He was clumsily trying to follow his mother and brother, but he missed at least nine of the ten movements. After spinning a few times, he felt dizzy and sat down on the ground with a porcupine sound. However, he quickly got up, rubbing his butt with one hand, and still waving his wooden sword with the other hand. Ning Xin's personal girl Yao'er hugged her Looking at Gao Ning, the little girl had two pigtails that reached the sky. She stretched out her two little hands and waved them in the air, making cheerful sounds of chi-cha from time to time.

This is my present! Gao Yuan breathed out softly. In his last life, he was alone, with no relatives, no worries, and lived a life where he didn't know if there would be tomorrow after today. But now, he has such a big family.

Clapping his hands vigorously, Gao Yuan strode towards his family, "Okay, okay, he plays the piano well and dances the sword well." He praised loudly, and when he saw Ye Jing'er who was making tea, she looked up at him and hurriedly Added: "The tea is also brewed well!"

After a few chirps, the women all laughed. This flattery was beyond the pale.

"You didn't even drink the tea, how do you know if I made it well?" Ye Jing'er said angrily.

"Jing'er brewed it, so you don't need to taste it, it must be very good." Gao Yuan smiled and bent down, reached out to pick up a small cup of tea, poured it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully, "It is indeed very good."

Ye Jing'er rolled her eyes at him and filled the cups on the table one by one. He Lanyan had already sheathed her sword, sat down at the table, picked up the cup, poured it down in one gulp, and then handed the empty cup to Ye Jing. In front of my son.

"How can you drink tea like you? It's just like drinking tea. I can't change it no matter how I teach you." Ye Jing'er shook her head.

"Tea is just for quenching thirst. Sister Jing'er, the way you and Ning Xin drink is so gentle, but I'm really not used to it!" He Lanyan shook her head.

Gao Zhiyuan ran to Gao Yuan excitedly, "Father, did you just praise me for my excellent sword dance?"

"Of course, my Zhiyuan dances well, even better than your second mother." Gao Yuan pressed his shoulder and said.

"Father is lying, I can't dance as well as my second wife." Gao Zhiyuan's face suddenly fell.

"Hey, I know what's good, kid. It seems I can't lie to you. Well, my father didn't lie to you either. I mean, when your second wife was your age, she definitely wasn't as good at dancing as you."

"Er Niangniang, is that true?" Gao Zhiyuan turned to look at He Lanyan aside.

Looking at the little guy with an expectant look on his face, He Lanyan couldn't help but shake this little guy's burning heart. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Of course, at your age, Er Niangniang is still a silly girl!"

"Dad, what about me, where about me?" A pair of small hands climbed up Gao Yuan's arms. The second boy, Gao Mingzhi, saw his brother being praised and ran over eagerly.

"You're fine too." He bent down and picked up Gao Mingzhi. Gao Yuan laughed loudly. Gao Ning on the other side also stretched out his hands to Gao Yuan, "Daddy, give me a hug, give me a hug!"

He took Gao Ning over, one in each hand. In the past few years, he had often stayed with the guys, and the little guys finally got closer to him. Looking at his lovely wife and children, Gao Yuan put aside all his worries at this moment. On the other hand, what I should do on this night and this scene is to enjoy this wonderful moment with my family in a relaxed way.

"Zhiyuan, Mingzhi, do you want to see your father wield the sword? Do you know that your father can be regarded as the best master in the world?" He Lanyan was drinking tea while seducing the two little guys. .

"Really? Really?" The eyes of the two little guys suddenly lit up. At this age, it is the time to worship heroes. The fathers they see on weekdays are always wearing light robes and clothes, but they rarely think of it. My father is actually the best in the world.

"Okay, bring me the knife!" Looking at his son's expectant eyes, Gao Yuan suddenly became full of pride. In the past few years, he has no chance to go to the battlefield to fight. His good skills are really going to waste.

Gao Yuan tore off his robe and found his upper body naked. Although he had done more document work in the past few years, his muscles were still sharp and angular.

With a clang, the tail of the knife shaft hit the ground heavily. Gao Yuan looked at Ning Xin who was standing aside with a smile. Ning Xin nodded with a smile, her fingers stretched out, the style of the knife suddenly changed from before, and bursts of killing energy rushed towards her face.

In the courtyard, cold lights suddenly flashed. (To be continued...)
