After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

The deserted city.

There is a street not far from the Imperial Palace of the Great Wilderness.

The name of the street is Zhongxiang!

Just because there is a small courtyard in this alley that is not too big or gorgeous.

This small courtyard is the Prime Minister's Mansion of Dahuang Kingdom, where Uncle Zhong lives.

This alley was named after Yu Wenfeng after Zhongbo after he built Dahuang City to highlight Zhongbo’s status in Dahuang Kingdom!

This is where Yu Wenfeng is extremely smart.

No matter how big a role Uncle Zhong played in Yu Wenfeng's uprising, he was not a deserter after all!

The barbarian people, a barbaric people, are extremely xenophobic.

To establish a country in the wilderness, Yu Wenfeng needs to rely on Zhong Bo's wisdom to govern the country. If he wants to be successful in politics, he must establish Zhong Bo's great prestige.

As for people and...

This can be adjusted slowly.

But since the country was established, it must operate with the highest efficiency. Although Yu Wenfeng was familiar with the Central Plains culture, he knew that he still lacked some experience in managing such a complex country.

As the founding emperor of the Wilderness Kingdom, Yu Wenfeng put his status quite low in front of Zhong Bo.

In court, he showed great respect for Zhong Bo.

Even treat him like a father-in-law!

He has never rejected any of the policy policies proposed by Zhong Bo!

With his attitude, the barren people gradually accepted Uncle Zhong, an old foreigner.

At first, they were dissatisfied with settling down to open up wasteland for farming, etc. But after getting food to fill their stomachs, they seemed to think it was good to not have to travel around as nomads.

It is said that this is called living and working in peace and contentment.

It is said that this is the best life that the people in the Central Plains countries long for!

Mr. Zhong, this is for their own good!

Zhongxiang even sent people from the Central Plains to various villages!

There are not many of them. They are mainly responsible for teaching them farming and teaching them how to read in the evening!

As the Prime Minister of a country, Zhong Xiang only eats simple meals and wears coarse linen and linen clothes...

I heard that Prime Minister Zhong said to all the ministers in the court meeting, he said that before the barren people got rich, how could we get rich first?

If you want a country to be strong and prosperous, when the monarch, ministers and the people work together, the monarch and the ministers must first suffer, and then they can share the joy with the people until they are rich!

Look, the lonely old man from No. 1 Middle School was buried up to his neck in soil. What did he want?

Not only did he help the emperor unify the grasslands and build a country, he also wanted to single-handedly make this country rich and powerful in his few remaining years!

He hoped that the barren people living in this land could live a life without worries about food and clothing!

He even hoped that the emperor would also work hard to govern, so that in the few remaining days of his life, he could see with his own eyes the emperor leading the desert cavalry to dominate the world and recreate the glory of the Dali Empire in the past!

What a lofty ideal this is!

This is a spirit of selfless dedication that no one can match!

Prime Minister Zhong was worried about the Great Wilderness Kingdom, and the officials and people of the Wilderness Kingdom naturally saw it, and they gradually changed from rejection to acceptance to admiration for the old prime minister.

The setting sun hung on the top of the western mountain.

The afterglow fell on the small alley Zhongxiang.

There was a not too strong west wind that turned the fallen leaves on the ground over. They changed places and lay down quietly again, waiting for the autumn rain to take them to the Yinma River behind the alley.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is backed by the Yinma River.

Walk six steps out of the door in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and you'll be standing by the Yinma River.

This is a big bend, and the slowly coming Yinma River water becomes calmer at this bend, making it the best place for fishing.

Uncle Zhong is sitting by the river now.

He was wearing coarse linen clothes and sitting on a small square stool, holding a fishing rod in his hand and staring intently at the few floats made of goose feathers exposed on the water.

Behind him stood a tall and burly man.

This man is in his thirties, with chiseled cheeks, thick eyebrows like swords, and eyes like stars!

He was also wearing coarse linen clothes, with a belt tied around his waist, and a dark sign made of polished horns hung on the belt.

The rest... there are not many decorations.

But when he stood with his hands behind his back like this, he had the power to swallow up mountains and rivers!

He is the Emperor of the Wild Kingdom, Yu Wenfeng!

He also looked at the few white floating grains on the water. He had been looking at them for half a stick of incense, but he hadn't said a word yet!

Because Uncle Zhong is fishing!

Uncle Zhong was serious about everything he did, and fishing was the most serious.

Uncle Zhong is not good at fishing now, but...

In the past, when he started his army from the Xiushan tribe, whenever he had free time, whenever there was a pond, it seemed that Uncle Zhong would dig out a few earthworms or catch a few bugs and sit by the pond.

As for the fishing rod, many times it is a branch, sometimes a reed. When the team was about to embark on the journey again, he abandoned them all, leaving only the fishing line and the hook with him.

Yu Wenfeng fished countless times with Uncle Zhong. Of course, he just watched and listened to what Uncle Zhong said.

In my memory, it seems that Uncle Zhong was not able to catch fish very often.

I once asked him what he enjoyed?

He said... what he was fishing for was not fish!

What he's fishing for is...the stories of the past, and the stories of the future.

There are successes and failures, joys and sorrows in those past stories.

And the story of the future he envisions must also include success and failure, joy and sorrow.

Because those stories are acted out by people.

No one knows how the people in the story will act out the story.

Just like this fishing.

Once the rod is thrown, no one knows whether it will catch a fish.

I don’t know what kind of fish I can catch.

The joy of the world lies in this unknown!

Between gains and losses.

Between mountains and rivers.

As the fisherman waits patiently, by chance, the fish happens to swallow the bait and take the bait, or the fish happens to miss the bait.

This is the simplest game.

No extra tricks.

There is no need to worry about the final victory or defeat.

if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.

The same is true for worldly affairs.

In this way, Uncle Zhong made a big fortune for Yu Wenfeng!

Yuwenfeng naturally had great respect for this old man.

So much so that when he looked at the old man's back, a light shone in his tiger eyes!

At this moment, the float on the water surface suddenly moved.

After just two gentle clicks, Zhong Bo's body leaned forward slightly, and he seemed to be ready to lift the pole.

suddenly,

The float sank suddenly, and Zhong Bo raised his pole, but it was empty.

He didn't catch this fish.

He put down the fishing rod, stood up with his hands on his knees, turned around, looked at Yu Wenfeng, and grinned:

"Look, this is the life of that fish."

"I took the bait of my old minister and escaped."

"Your Majesty, is there any news from the Yue Kingdom?"

Yuwenfeng nodded.

"Over there in the country of Yue, the Emperor of Yue is dying, the power of Zen is growing, and the swords of Fengyun Tower are about to leave the Mountain of Swords..."

"Our ship is ready."

"Six of the Thirteen Eagles are also ready."

"Excuse me, Father Zhong, can you send troops to attack it?"

Uncle Zhong pondered for three breaths, turned his head and looked at the last ray of afterglow on the horizon, then withdrew his gaze and walked a few steps along the river bank.

Yu Wenfeng followed closely behind.

After a moment, Uncle Zhong stopped and asked:

"Has Li Chenan returned to Yujing City, the capital of Ningguo?" (End of this chapter)
