Fortunately, the next day, Cheng Yu explained the reasons for these abnormal behaviors.
Du Yan stood in Cheng Yu's study, watching him take out a delicate wooden box from the dark compartment.
Inside the wooden box are secret letters. A secret letter about Du Yan.
Du Yan read them one by one, and found that all his private behaviors were clearly investigated by Cheng Yu.
Seeing this, Du Yan's heart settled down instead. Cheng Yu knew what she had done, and as a person of the other party, she would not do anything to treat herself as a forbidden descendant.
He said: "As expected of a person who can rule the world, the intelligence network is very powerful."
Seeing that there was no anger on Du Yan's face, but rather a sense of relief, Cheng Yu said bluntly: "Yan, why don't you explain a thing or two to me, what is the purpose of your self-destruction of the original country?"
"You have absolutely no interest in power and in the world. What you have done, I can only draw one conclusion, and that is to push me to the position of the Lord in the sky."
Cheng Yu smiled bitterly: "Although I hope in my heart, I know that your feelings for me are not the same as mine and you."
Du Yan looked at the slightly distorted scene in front of Cheng Yu and Wei Wei, and knew that the master of the dream began to think that things were too weird. If he couldn't explain his behavior perfectly, the dream would collapse.
He motioned for Cheng Yu to take a seat on the couch by the window together, and then began to explain: "I really don't have much interest in power. At first, I wanted to be on the throne, just to keep the Wu family."
"After becoming the original king, I discovered a lot of things that I didn't know before. The original country has been Shen Ke for a long time, and the skeleton is already rotten. From the resistance I encountered in implementing the New Deal, I restrained one or two."
Cheng Yu said: "You are too impatient to implement the new policy, and it is natural that it will be difficult to carry out for a while."
Du Yan said: "There is no time. After I took charge of the original country, I discovered the changes in the northern land. The nomadic people on the grassland used to be separate and divided into different tribes, so they naturally had no time to pay attention to the central plains. Just a few years ago, one tribe began to conquer other tribes, and now the northern grasslands are about to be unified."
"When the northern grassland tribes are unified, it will be the time to invade the Central Plains. If the original country does not seek to change, and the nomadic tribe enters the customs, it will be a disaster."
Cheng Yu said softly, "I didn't even notice the changes on the grasslands in the north."
Du Yan glanced at Cheng Yu and said, "Chenggu is located in the south, so it is natural that I don't know much about the situation in the north. I wanted to use the reform to bring the original country to life, so that I would not be disturbed by the barbarians."
Cheng Yu suddenly realized: "After you implemented the New Deal, you found that it is too difficult to change the original country, and you have to completely destroy it before you can gain a new life."
"Yes." Du Yan nodded, "The situation of the Chengguo is different from that of the original country. Although the national strength is weak, the power has always been concentrated in the hands of the king. As long as there is a clear master, it can be transformed very quickly. I know you, Chengyu, are able to The person who brings change to this land. I have no obsession with power, as long as I achieve my goals.”
"So you decided to put me on the throne of the Lord..."
The two had a long conversation, from early morning until sunset. Du Yancai told Cheng Yu what he thought and all his plans for the Central Plains.
In the end, the two walked out of the study side by side, watching the sunset and the afterglow scene, and their hearts were filled with emotion.
Cheng Yu looked sideways at the person beside him: "I can let you witness the world you want, Haiyan Heqing you want, but I have a request."
Du Yan looked at Cheng Yu: "Why?"
"You already know my thoughts. You have no selfishness towards me, and I don't force it. I just hope that you can stay, stand side by side with me, and embrace the rivers and mountains for thousands of miles."
"How do you want."
"You have great talent. As a waste king, it would be too reckless to remain silent since then." Cheng Yu smiled and said, "How about being the regent of the new dynasty?"
Du Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "The emperor cannot divide power, the regent will inevitably lead to instability in the imperial government, and partisan disputes will emerge one after another. Even if there is no suspicion between you and me, there will be a puddle of muddy water above the imperial court. "
"People's hearts are always the most difficult thing to grasp. Only when you have all the power in your palm can you smoothly advance the reform and new policies."
Du Yan saw that there was no surprise on Cheng Yu's face, but looked at it with a smile: "You are not stupid, you know all these truths, right?"
Cheng Yu nodded.
"Then you said this to test me?"
Cheng Yu said: "No, if you agree, I will do it even after all difficulties."
"..." Du Yan looked at Cheng Yu in front of him and felt that this wise man of the ages seemed to be teetering on the verge of dizziness.
He had to pull Cheng Yu back from the brink of danger: "It's just to help you govern the world. You can give me an idle marquis and let me live in the capital."
Cheng Yu shook his head: "Idle Marquis, how can you be worthy of your status. In fact, I already have plans in my heart, so that you don't need to bow down to me even in front of all the ministers."
After more than a month, the general Wu Qi changed his flag and became an important minister of Chengguo. Cheng Yu led his division northward, joined with Wu Qi's army, and attacked the Northern Plains Dynasty.
At this time, the Northern Plains Dynasty was actually colluding with the northern grassland tribes. For a time, the battle situation fell into a quagmire, which was very difficult.
At this time, Du Yan was at the place of the yin and yang master, and followed him to learn astrology and divination. Although the war in the north was difficult, Du Yan was watching the stars at night, but he knew that the emperor star had risen to the sky, and the road to rule the world would no longer be hindered.
Three years later, the Northern Plains Dynasty was overthrown, and the grassland tribes were beaten by Cheng Yu back to the bitter and cold places outside the customs. When the teacher returned to the DPRK, Cheng Yu brought a small group of people and took Du Yan back to Yicheng by detour.
As soon as he entered the palace of Yicheng, Du Yan felt that something was wrong. Near Chengyu's bedroom, there was a palace with almost the same style standing side by side.
The distance between the two palaces can only be seen by walking in an instant.
"You are this?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said: "Gu is a sincere person, and to show his sincerity to the national teacher, he should naturally live next to each other and communicate frequently."
"… "
There is more than one thing that makes Du Yan helpless.
Now that the world is stable, Cheng Yu is proclaimed emperor, and the enthronement ceremony is already under preparation.
As a disciple of Qi Zi, a master of Yin and Yang, Du Yan's current identity is the national teacher of the new dynasty.
Cheng Yu gave the national teacher the supreme privilege, as promised at the beginning, even in front of the officials, Du Yan did not need to bow down to the emperor.
As a national teacher, Du Yan naturally presided over the sacrifice to heaven when the emperor ascended the throne.
At this moment, Du Yan looked at the dress that was brought over and was quite speechless.
At this time, they were all respected in black and red. The emperor's dress was a black brocade robe with red piping and embroidered dragon patterns on it.
Du Yan looked at the dress in front of him, it was clearly the imperial style, not the dress of the national teacher.
Cheng Yu asked, "How is it?"
Du Yan said, "Are you sure it's not that you sent your dress here by mistake?"
Cheng Yu reached out and took the dress, and shook it on Du Yan's shoulder for a comparison: "From the perspective of length, it must be correct."
Du Yan glared at him. The height he set for the convenience of being a woman was now a pain in his heart.
Cheng Yu saw that he was a little annoyed, so she restrained her smile and said sternly, "This dress is made according to my requirements, you don't need to worry about it."
Du Yan took the dress, looked at it for a moment, and said, "This system is beyond the norm."
"The national teacher is a person outside the party, and there is no need to respect the etiquette of this world. Moreover, what the national teacher conveys is the will of God, how can it be more humble than me, the king of this world."
"… "
A few days later, it was the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.
Cheng Yu walked up to the sacrificial platform step by step, looking at the man standing on the high sacrificial platform.
Finally, the man reached out to him for the first time.
Cheng Yu grabbed the hand in front of him, and the two stood side by side.
When the ceremony was completed, all the ministers under the steps suddenly felt that they saw the twin dragons soaring among the clouds, the sound of dragon roars harmonized, and the dazzling dragon scales complemented each other.
Auspicious clouds all over the sky, a good omen.
At the banquet that followed, Du Yan saw an unexpected person.
"Brother, are you surprised?" Yuan Ning is now dressed as a woman, her face is ruddy, and she looks much healthier than when she was in the former king's palace.
Yuan Ning attended as a family member of the royal family. After she lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, she rescued Cheng Yu's clan brother in an accident, and the two became husband and wife over time.
For the past three years, Du Yan has been staying by Qi Zi's side, naturally he doesn't know these things.
"Why didn't you tell me..." Looking at the sly smile on his sister's face, Du Yan felt a little dumbfounded.
"This is His Majesty's intention. On this happy day, I want to prepare a special surprise for you."
How did Du Yan listen, how did he think Yuan Ning's words were very strange, he frowned and looked at Cheng Yu beside him, but only got a smiley look in his eyes.
Since he has decided to assist Cheng Yu in governing the world, Du Yan doesn't care about other things, so he just stays by Cheng Yu's side in peace.
Du Yan found that he didn't hate the days with Chengyu. He even felt that the current situation was much more comfortable than when he was the original king, when he tried his best to calculate everything.
The awakening process this time was long and sudden.
After the world is stable and the four seas are at peace.
One winter, the first snow fell in Yicheng.
Du Yan, together with Chengyu, cooked wine in the pavilion in the garden, watching the snow fluttering outside.
Cheng Yu suddenly asked, "Do you regret it?"
Du Yan puzzled: "regret?"
"Do you regret that you walked towards me in the snow?" Cheng Yu said, "I know that you are not a person who admires power, and even thought about seclusion in the mountains, but I imprisoned you by my side for so many years. …”
Du Yan looked down at the drink in the glass, which reflected his eyes. He found that there was a soft color in his eyes.
He raised his head, looked at Cheng Yu, and smiled: "I'm very glad that I walked towards you at the beginning."
"With your words, even my deepest wish has never been fulfilled, and I am satisfied."
Cheng Yu's smile gradually became blurred. The master of the dream wakes up, and the nightmare dissipates.
