Lin Shuping dyed the hair of Emperor Liu Zhao.
The hair dye cream was prepared by Gu Jiu himself, and it has a plant-like fragrance.
Compared with the chemical hair dye products of later generations, the hair dye cream prepared by Gu Jiu is 100% natural and pollution-free.
Liu Zhao grinned at the mirror.
Gu Jiu laughed at him, "How old is he, no one is good at it!"
Liu Zhao laughed, "I didn't pay attention to my white hair before, but now I'll take a closer look, and it's really a lot more. No wonder you don't want to pull out my white hair. If you pull it out like this, I will definitely become bald."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I'll take care of your body personally, don't worry, you can't be bald."
"I am very relieved."
Lin Shuping finished dyeing his hair and said with a smile, "Your Majesty looks ten years younger."
Liu Zhao smiled triumphantly at the mirror, his shiny black hair made him very embarrassed.
He showed off: "It's not just ten years younger, let alone twenty years younger."
"The old slave's eyes are clumsy, but His Majesty can see clearly." Lin Shuping flattered him implicitly.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, complaining about Liu Zhao, "No matter how young you are, you can't become a strong boy in your twenties."
Liu Zhao laughed, and said indifferently: "I will definitely surprise all the courtiers by changing the court tomorrow."
Liu Zhao has always been a restless person.
After being raised in Xiaozhu for nearly two years, he returned to the palace and was busy with government affairs every day.
After two years of meditation and self-cultivation, my body has indeed improved a lot.
Energetic and full of energy.
Doing things, doing things, and doing things all day long.
Fighting back and forth with the courtiers at both ends for three days, it is very enjoyable.
Gu Jiu reminded him, "You're not too young, take it easy! Don't overwork yourself."
Liu Zhao fully agreed, and would occasionally stay up late and work overtime.
…
Since the bell came out, it has brought millions of taels of income to the Institute of Technology a year.
Liu Zhao was so envious.
As a result, the money did not fall into his pocket at all.
The Institute of Science and Technology has made a lot of money, so under Ren Qiu's laissez-faire, it burns money even more crazily, burns money!
Seeing the burning of several million taels a year, Liu Zhao felt very distressed.
"A big money burner! He can burn more money than me, so he's a prodigal."
Gu Jiu said: "The institute of science and technology can't do anything without burning money. Only by constantly burning money, will there be a steady stream of new objects coming out. I told you before that the chiming clock can be as big as a child's palm. , Carry it with you, it can be called a pocket watch.
If it is successful, with so many people in the world, as long as one percent of the people own a small pocket watch, how much value will be created? Pocket watches can also be updated with new looks and new selling points. Even if it does not reach one percent, one thousandth is still a huge amount. And the steam engine I told you before, if it can be built, the world will be rewritten! To create all this, you have to burn money. A lot of investment can be exchanged for rich returns. "
"It makes sense! I hope that group of people will not disappoint your expectations, and can really build the steam engine you mentioned."
"There must be such a day."
…
Liu Zhao was alive and well for a year.
The weather is changing for several days, and the climate is erratic.
A cold wind knocked Emperor Liu Zhao back to his original form.
His body is not as strong as he thought, and he will never return to the time when he was young and strong at the age of twenty.
He was lying on the bed, drinking the bitter soup, feeling weak and depressed.
Even with Gu Jiu by his side, he couldn't calm down his restless mood.
"Will I die?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Jiu scolded softly.
Liu Zhao smiled, "Are you worried about me? If I die, you will be the empress dowager."
Gu Jiu rolled her eyes at him, "You want to die that much?"
"I don't want to die! I said that I want to accompany you until at least sixty years old, which is still more than ten years away. I can't bear you."
"Since you can't bear to part with me, get well soon."
Liu Zhao sighed, "But I always feel that it won't get better! This body is like a piece of tatters, the east is repaired, the west is repaired, the more it is repaired, the uglier it is. I don't want to drink medicine."
Gu Jiu coaxed him, "I prepared frosting sugar for you, you can eat sugar after drinking the medicine."
Liu Zhao wrinkled his nose, "Could you take the medicine in the pond first?"
Gu Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, because she disliked the medicine being too bitter and played childish temper.
She took out the frosting sugar and gave Liu Zhao one, "Is it delicious?"
"Sweet! I heard that sugar cane is being grown in many places in the south for boiling sugar. If I have a chance, I really want to see it."
"When you are in good health, let's go for a walk to the south. Let's go to Jiangling to have a look. The Jiangling Academy run by Cui Qi is very impressive. This year's imperial examination, Jiangling Academy passed several Jinshi, and the rankings are not bad."
"I want to take a painting boat, and I want a boat full of singers to sing ditties."
Without further ado, Gu Jiu stretched out her hand to pinch his ear, "Is it itchy?"
"I'm sick, and you still bully me. You don't care about me at all."
"Do you want me to find you a boatload of singers to sing ditties right now?"
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "That's not necessary! When we go to the south and listen to Wu Nong's soft words, we will have a taste. You have to accompany me. If you are not here, I am worried that I will be swallowed alive by the boat lady."
Come on!
This is clearly showing off!
Deliberately angry with her!
Gu Jiu rolled eyes at him three times in a row.
Liu Zhao had a happy face, and he was eager to succeed in the joke.
After eating the candy, his mood improved, and Liu Zhao was finally willing to drink the medicine.
Gu Jiu was so tired that he was sweating all over.
She said to Qi Wang Liu Yu: "Old child, old child, this is indeed true. When your father is sick, his temper is like a child's. You have to be coaxed by me to take medicine."
Liu Yu lowered his head and snickered.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Jiu asked him.
Liu Yu stopped laughing and said: "When the son went to visit the father, the father was still full of majesty. Only when the father was by the mother's side would he play childish temper and let the mother coax him."
Is this the joy of life between old husband and wife
Hearing this, Gu Jiu couldn't laugh or cry!
Old husband and wife, there is only one kind of tacit understanding that others can't match.
Gu Jiu sat on the ottoman to read a book, while Liu Zhao was lying on the ottoman with her head next to her.
He is breathing heavily and his condition has not improved.
"My broken body is not even as good as yours."
Gu Jiu flipped through the books, "I have been recuperating since I was a child, and I have persisted for decades. You, a person who can't heal your injuries well, of course can't compare to my body."
Liu Zhao hugged her waist, "You have taken care of my body for many years, why is my body still getting dilapidated?"
Gu Jiu said solemnly: "Because you missed the best time for recuperation. You were poisoned on the battlefield back then. If you could return to the barracks in time to recover from your illness, you wouldn't be in the situation you are now. But back then, you had to be brave If you are injured, you can use some medicine at will, and continue to fight on the battlefield as long as you can't die.
Time after time, countless injuries accumulated on his body, spanning several years. After returning to the capital, he has been busy non-stop. The imperial doctor reminded you several times not to work hard, but you didn't listen. If you don't get sick, let it go, once you get sick, you will definitely attack fiercely. After the body improved, it was not as good as before. "
Liu Zhao sat up and looked at her seriously, "Can you tell me the truth, how long will I live?"
Gu Jiu frowned, "Why are you asking this question again? I've said it all, you can't think about it, you just need to follow the doctor's advice..."
"I want to know my life expectancy so that I can make proper arrangements, and I want to stay with you for a few more years."
Gu Jiu was tongue-tied.
She rubbed between her eyebrows, "It's inappropriate for me to say that. I'll call all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital and let them answer you."
"The group of imperial doctors are all cowards, they dare not tell the truth. I want to hear you tell the truth."
Gu Jiu looked embarrassed.
Liu Zhao comforted her, "Just say what you want, no matter what the result is, I can afford it."
Gu Jiu sighed, very tired!
She asked him, "How do you feel about being sick this time?"
"Take so many medicines, but the disease is getting better very slowly. I am old, not as good as when I was young, a cold, in the past, I can recover in two or three days. This time it has been half a month, and I haven't seen any improvement. Tell me, how long will it take for my illness to get better?"
Gu Jiu said: "It is estimated that he will have to take another half a month of medicine before he can recover."
Liu Zhao frowned tightly, "A little cold, you have to take medicine for a month?"
"To young people, it's just a little wind chill. But to you, a wind chill can kill you too."
"Is my health so poor? The previous two years of recuperation were not in vain."
"Without the recuperation of the previous two years, you will not be able to resist the cold at all."
Liu Zhao was dumbfounded.
Gu Jiu held his hand tightly, "So, you must follow the doctor's orders, and you must not miss a single dose of medicine."
Liu Zhao took a deep breath, "Do I still have two years?"
Gu Jiu didn't make a sound.
"Tell me the truth! I have to make plans early."
Gu Jiu thought it over and said: "If you are willing to put aside government affairs and follow me to another hospital to recuperate quietly, let alone two years, ten years can be your life expectancy. If you insist on being busy with government affairs and refuse to take a good rest, I can only say, two years It has been very lucky.”
"Do I only have this little time left?"
Liu Zhao's eyes were blank.
He thought about all kinds of things, but he never thought about death!
Gu Jiu hugged him, "Don't think too much, I will always guard you."
Liu Zhao came back to his senses, "Let me think carefully."
Gu Jiu fell silent.
Liu Zhao thinks of night from day, and thinks of dawn from night.
Sunny at noon.
Gu Jiu took him up to the embroidered building, where he basked in the sun through the glass.
He said to her: "I've been thinking about it all night. You said before that if I'm willing to put aside government affairs and let you cultivate, I can live ten years? Is this true?"
Gu Jiu nodded heavily, "Your body has already endured high-intensity work."
Liu Zhao sighed, "If I knew this would happen, I might have spent more time recuperating."
Gu Jiu responded with a wry smile.
Liu Zhao suddenly made up his mind, "I have decided to abdicate and pass the throne to the boss. I decree that the second son and Ru Yang should return to Beijing. When I abdicate, I hope they will all go."
Gu Jiu was shocked, "Are you sure? Can you really give up the throne?"
Liu Zhao told the truth, "I can't bear to give up the throne! But people have to make a choice in their lifetime. Whether to continue to love the throne, or to give up the throne and live a few more years and spend a few more years with you, I choose the latter. Let it go, if I can afford it, I can let it go."
Gu Jiu hugged him tightly.
"You don't have to abdicate, just let the boss supervise the country."
"No! This is too cruel for the boss. He has been in charge of the country, but he has never been able to reach that position. As time goes by, there will be chaos if there is no chaos. I believe that he will be a good emperor. Hand over the throne to Give it to him, I'm relieved!"
Gu Jiu looked at him, "Have you really thought about it? Don't you regret it?"
That is the throne!
The supreme throne.
Although Liu Zhao abdicated, he was the Supreme Emperor.
However, there is a saying that if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.
The Supreme Emperor cannot interfere with the emperor in everything, nor can he intervene in the government affairs in everything.
As the Supreme Emperor, you have to adjust your position and not interfere too much with the emperor's decisions or government affairs.
This makes an emperor who is used to golden words and commanding the world, how can he adapt
Will there be conflicts between the overlord and the emperor, father and son
Will there be unspeakable consequences
Liu Zhao has already thought about everything, "After abdicating, we will leave the palace. You take care of my body, and when I recover, we will go south to play. Remember to find some singers for me to sing ditties."
Gu Jiu was very sad at first, but he laughed aloud when he was provoked by a singer singing a ditty.
"You are thinking about Xiaoqu. I think you abdicated for the sake of going out to Beijing to play in the mountains and rivers in an upright manner."
Liu Zhao laughed, "I didn't expect you to see through the truth! The lady's eyes are like a torch, as a husband, I really can't hide anything from you."
