The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 844 0007, Seven Kingdoms Weakest ([-])

Zhao Gao single-mindedly persuaded Zhao Zheng to mourn his sorrows, and then found an envelope under the table.The letter was left by Xia Yufang to Zhao Zheng, and there were only [-] short characters in the letter.

"Life and death are in harmony with each other. Talk to Zicheng, family, country and world, death is worthy of death."

Xia Yufang died.

Zhao Dan, who came to ask questions, had already cried into tears. She was pregnant, so she couldn't be too sad, otherwise it would affect the development of the fetus.Zhao Ling'er and Li Nishang also came here after hearing the news. Although they were very sad, they were still rational and would not do anything radical.

But Zhao Zheng is different. He grew up with Xia Yufang since he was a child, and his biological mother, Zhao Ji, only cares about her own enjoyment and never cares about him.It can be said that he has been dependent on Xia Yufang since he was a child. If Xia Yufang hadn't been with him in those years, he might have starved to death on the streets of Handan.

In Handan at that time, who would care about a little beggar living on the street.Several serious illnesses, if Xia Yufang hadn't tried his best to rescue him, he might have died of illness in a foreign country long ago.

He never forgot all this. He was young and ignorant at that time, and later he left Handan and returned to Qin.Someone arranged for him to read and write, and someone arranged for him to practice martial arts to strengthen his body.Someone arranged everything for him until he became the king of a country.

In those years, he enjoyed the wealth and glory that he never dreamed of, but he was not happy.Clothes and fine food are everyone’s dream of life, but true happiness depends on who you are with, not on how big a house you live in, how good clothes you wear, how good your food is.

When Zhao Zheng understood all this, he was almost thirty.

That period was the darkest day in Zhao Zheng's life. He stayed in the room where Xia Yufang used to live every day.There is no need for anyone to go in. Although he goes to court early every day, he will not talk to anyone except to deal with state affairs.Including Zhao Dan and Zhao Ling'er, and Li Nishang who was always by his side.

No one knew Xia Yufang's position in his heart, just like no one knew what he thought about his biological mother Zhao Ji.If it were someone else, if his biological mother did such scandalous things, she might have killed her relatives long ago.

But he won't, he doesn't hate his biological mother for ignoring him, because they were abandoned in Handan for so many years, and she just wanted to make her life better.

Xia Yufang has always been very kind to Zhao Zheng, and she has already become the only relative in Zhao Zheng's mind.If Xia Yufang hadn't been there in those years, he wouldn't have everything he has now.

Time is not forgiving, time will always make people see something clearly.When it is too late, the only thing we can do is deeply regret.

Regretting why he didn't choose to persevere at the beginning, such as when he just returned to Qin.Why didn't he try his best to bring Xia Yufang to Qin, but waited until everything was ready before picking her up.

Is there really a day when everything is ready?

All of this will never happen again, Xia Yufang has already been buried, and Zhao Zheng will never have another chance.But he still believed that he could fulfill all the promises he had made to her.

He promised that he would buy her a big house in the future, and then she could eat whatever she wanted.I can wear clothes of different colors every day, and I can go to many places I have never been to.

He will accompany her on her birthday every year, and then give her different birthday gifts.Every day during the Spring Festival, I will accompany her to celebrate the new year and sing her favorite songs with her.

Of course, he will also help her out and protect her from being bullied by anyone.

All of this is the promise he made to Xia Yufang a long time ago.They were all young at that time, and their world was not as complicated as it is now.

Everything has changed, the only thing that remains the same is the original dream.

When sending Zhao Dan and Xia Yufang back to Zhao country, Xia Yufang asked Zhao Zheng about it.If he hadn't returned to Qin, would it be as agreed now?Open a pharmacy with her in Handan, he will be the shopkeeper, and she will be the proprietress.

At that time, Zhao Zheng only thought she was joking with him, after all, there was no turning back.There are corners at every intersection, and once you choose, there is no way to turn back.Because life is a one-way street, if you miss it, there is no way to get it back.

Zhao Gao has been staying by Zhao Zheng's side, always paying attention to Zhao Zheng's daily life.Usually Zhao Dan treats him well, so he will often report Zhao Zheng's current situation to Zhao Dan.After all, Zhao Dan is now the imperial concubine of Qin, maybe he can become the queen of Qin one day.Don't they all say that mothers value children more than others?

The imperial physicians have already diagnosed that Concubine Zhao Dan is pregnant with a boy.Back then Xia Yufang joked that from now on, when a child is born, she must be recognized as a godmother.

Zhao Dan naturally remembered this incident, and Zhao Zheng also remembered this incident.

He can't collapse because he is a descendant of the Ying family, and he can't cry because he is the king of Qin.He can't act like a loser because he has a lot of work to do.

However, the original dream is still there, but the original person is not.Even if you get the whole world, even if you can be famous all over the world, what's the point of that.

It's not that he doesn't understand, it's just that he can't figure it out.Why did everyone force him to do so many things he didn't like to do.

When he was a child, Zhao Ji forced him to treat Lu Buwei as his father.When he grew up, Lu Buwei forced him to learn so many things he didn't like.Later, he forced himself to flee from Qin, and traveled around the country to calm down the grievances in his heart.But since he returned to China, he realized that the most unfree person is the king of a country.

As the king of a country, the last thing you can't do is what you want to do.Because he is the king of a country, he can only do what he should do.When the age is reached, the crowning ceremony should be performed, and after the crowning ceremony, it is time to get married.All of this must be done in accordance with the ancestral system, and there must be no deviation in the slightest.

The choice of a spouse for a big marriage must be a princess of another country, otherwise it will not only embarrass Qin, but also lose face to the other six countries.So he chose Princess Zhao, just because he didn't want Zhao Dan to be like him.

He doesn't want any glory and wealth, but it's a pity that he was born in the emperor's family.Many things cannot be controlled by him, many routes cannot be controlled by him, and many people cannot be controlled by him.

For example, if he wants to marry Xia Yufang, he can even exchange everything he owns.But he couldn't do that, because he would be sorry for those soldiers who died for the great cause of Qin.He can't give up the position of monarch, because he is afraid that the person who will take this position in the future will lead Qin to a place of eternal doom.

He can be selfish, and he can do everything for personal reasons.But he still couldn't escape this cage, and couldn't escape the shackles made of glory and wealth.

So he hesitated, he didn't know how to choose.He just wanted a solution that got the best of both worlds, he could keep Xia Yufang by his side without getting into trouble with the ministers.Li Si was also thinking for him, but it was a pity that he was still a step late.
