Chapter 333 The Goddess of Childbirth for the Heirless Emperor 23
Zhu Yin's mission ended when the crown prince was fifteen years old.
But she was not in a hurry to leave, because someone who said he would return to his "hometown" in a few years had not left yet.
Seven years after Li Ji said that, Zhu Yin visited him once.
At that time, Li Ji was in a remote little village called Lushui Village, where the scenery was particularly beautiful.
He works as a teacher there.
He told Zhuyin that although this place is beautiful, the people living here don't feel it. Lushui Village is the poorest place in the county. According to the villagers, they never had enough food in the past and some even starved to death. It has only gotten better in recent years.
The county town was recruiting people, so all the able-bodied men and women in the village went to work, leaving only the elderly and children.
No teacher is willing to come to this remote place.
There is a free elementary school in the county town, which was built with money from the imperial court. Teachers are invited to teach children how to read and write.
But the school does not provide food or accommodation, and the parents of these children have to work and have no spare energy or money to take care of them.
He came here just to enjoy the scenery at first. Because he was good-looking, well-dressed, and from outside, the children in the village liked to talk to him and ask him some very interesting questions.
After staying for a while, he couldn't bear to leave.
Facing Zhu Yin, Li Ji was very honest: "I am alone, I have no worries, I can just do what I want."
He stayed in Lushui Village for another five years.
After leaving Lushui Village, he headed north and met a family returning home on the way.
The host was very welcoming and when he saw that Li Ji was alone, he invited him to have a meal and asked him if he wanted to go with him.
He was a businessman who had been doing business abroad for more than ten years and had earned a lot of money.
Now that his parents were old and missed their children and grandchildren, he sold his property, took his wife and children, hired bodyguards, and escorted his family back home.
"My eldest daughter is already eleven years old, and she has never met my parents." When the man said this, Li Ji saw tears in the corners of his eyes.
Eager to return home, Li Ji said goodbye to them the next day and watched the convoy go away.
But just three days later, Li Ji saw the family again.
In a way he never wanted: the convoy encountered bandits.
The carriage rolled to the ground, all the silver and valuables were looted, and the host, who had warmly invited him to dinner a few days ago, fell on the road along with his wife, his eleven-year-old daughter, nine-year-old second son and seven-year-old youngest son.
The blood has dried.
Li Ji didn't want to leave again.
He had been in Xindu in his early years and thought that Daxuan had reached the ideal state of not picking up things on the road.
But after I got out of it, I realized that the real grassroots people still have a long way to go.
The messenger of God interrupted his travel plans and returned to Xindu.
He used the Encyclopedia to find more improved varieties, acquire more technologies, and make Daxuan richer.
On the one hand, he began to make suggestions to the emperor, promote welfare national policies, and improve legislation...
The identity of "God's messenger" is more useful than he imagined.
In this era when the true goddess appeared, every step he took would make those in power speculate on deeper meanings.
For example, after traveling for many years, the messenger of God returned to Xindu and suddenly paid extra attention to people's livelihood and enforced the law. Was there any instruction from the goddess behind this?
God represents Heaven, and Heaven loves all living things.
The emperor realized: The goddess thinks that I have not done enough and that not all of my people are living a good life.
That's why the goddess sent a messenger to attack him.
The emperor and core ministers would analyze every move Li Ji wanted to make, and try their best to fulfill his ideas while complying with Daxuan's current national conditions.
not only that.
After several days of thorough discussions with the divine envoy, the emperor quickly made a decision: the crown prince would stay in Xindu to govern the country, while he would travel around the country.
This would definitely be a grand scene that would be recorded in history books, and Li Ji certainly couldn't miss it.
So, he didn't leave again.
As time went by, Taizu grew old.
Because of taking the fairy spring water, Li Ji's appearance did not change significantly, but with the increase of age and experience, his demeanor became more profound and graceful.
The people around him, seeing that he looked young despite the passage of time, respected him more and more.
The goddess had not appeared in public for many years, and both the emperor and the court officials had already regarded Li Ji as the de facto "imperial teacher".
It has been nearly ten years since Li Ji last saw the goddess.
He once tried to call the goddess. When Zhuyin heard his voice, she used her spiritual consciousness to take a look at him. She found that he was fine and just wanted to see if she was there. She withdrew her spiritual consciousness silently.
At this time, she was on the continent at the northern end of the world. Her black hair, black eyes and relatively soft features made her a source of curiosity wherever she went.
Wherever she went, the local nobles would invite her to visit and ask her if she was from the Great Xuan Dynasty in the East.
After receiving a positive response, Zhu Yin will be treated as a distinguished guest.
The reputation of Daxuan's power and wealth has spread to every corner of the world along with their fleet.
some day.
Zhuyin stood on the thick ice and watched Barbara fishing for fish under the ice with her tail, when she heard a dull bell sound in her ears.
When one cry ends, another one begins.
She looked far toward the east.
The bell rang three times, and the emperor passed away.
Because Taizu had eaten the meat of exotic animals, he lived twenty years longer than historically, which was an absolutely long life.
Zhu Yin picked up Barbara and said, "Let's go back."
In a flash, Zhuyin returned to Xindu after traveling thousands of miles.
The city is full of raw materials.
Her messenger stood before all the officials, dressed in plain clothes, crying sadly.
Zhu Yin did not show up. She watched quietly for a while, then suddenly pointed.
All those immersed in sorrow saw a bright light flying out from His Majesty's coffin and escaping out of the palace.
The new emperor and his court officials chased after it and saw the ray of light shooting straight into the sky and transforming into a star in the center of the northern sky.
The new emperor knelt down without saying a word, and behind him, the court officials knelt on the ground in white.
Li Ji did not kneel.
He stared blankly at the bright stars in the sky, his mind a mess: Huh? What is this? It is rumored that His Majesty Taizu is the reincarnation of the Purple Star in the sky. Isn't this an exaggeration? Is it true?
Is this returning to the throne of God after death?
In short, after this incident, even though everyone was still sad, their mood was much more relaxed.
For example, some ministers who were originally full of loyalty and grief and wanted to be buried with the late emperor changed their minds - Your Majesty is the reincarnation of the Star God, and even if I am buried with him, I may not be able to go to heaven and continue to serve him.
Moreover, as soon as the court officials thought that His Majesty had not really left, but was still watching them from the sky, they were shocked and almost immediately recovered their spirits and devoted themselves to the construction of Daxuan.
Li Ji was no longer sad.
The goddess said that he was also an immortal official who came down to earth, so after he died, he could go back to heaven to have a look, right?
He suddenly wanted to die.
