Guo Peng knew very well that even if the Wei Kingdom collapsed one day, the colonial rule of the Empire of Sun-Don't Set would collapse, and the destroyed native civilization would not reappear.

They could only continue the civilization that the Wei Empire forced them to do so and continue to develop.

It is easy to remove physical bondage, but spiritual bondage is not so easy to remove.

It is easy to get out of the mountains, but it is difficult to get out of the heart. Fighting for national independence can be achieved by one generation or two generations, but realizing spiritual and cultural independence is not that simple.

This is the best and final gift that Guo Peng left for future generations.

It is not difficult to use well and continue to suck blood. Although the final collapse is inevitable, it is not something that Mr. Guo can solve.

Later generations naturally have things that future generations need to do, and they have to do everything alone. What should future generations do with their brains?

With such free and easy nature, Guo Peng saw everything away. He realized that he had done everything he should do.

"Is there anything else I need to do?"

Guo Peng turned his head and looked at Guo Jin. Guo Jin thought about it and found that there was indeed nothing that Guo Peng needed to do.

However, he was used to Guo Peng's existence.

Guo Peng has always been the Supreme Emperor and has not interfered in political affairs, but his existence is a symbol.

Even if Guo Jin does things against him, no one will dare to resist, because the founding king is still alive and he is enough to suppress the world.

Whatever Guo Jin wants to do, Guo Peng is the scapegoat, and he is Guo Jin's biggest backer, giving Guo Jin enough support and confidence.

As the emperor, Guo Jin always relies on the Guo Peng mountain. If this mountain suddenly disappears, Guo Jin will panic.

"It's true that there is no thing my father needs to do, but my father is the founding king. His father lives in the Taishan Temple, which is very important in itself."

Guo Jin looked at Guo Peng.

Guo Peng looked into his eyes and smiled.

"Emperor, you are over fifty years old. At your age, I am already the Supreme Emperor, so what are you worried about? I am dead, you live in, and you come to be the Supreme Emperor, the meaning is the same."

Guo Peng reached out and patted Guo Jin's hand: "When you live here, you will feel a little uncomfortable at first, you will feel lost, empty, at a loss, and you will feel at a loss, and you will feel suspicious of yourself.

But over time, you will think that it is better to be here. You can do a lot of things you wanted to do but couldn't do. At that time, you are very busy. When you are free, you can do a lot of interesting things.

You are busy, it is a habit. You are used to being busy, but over time, you will also get used to the Taishan Temple, the quietness and comfort here, and the sun, ponds, and small pavilions here. You will gradually stop thinking about major events in the world."

Guo Jin lowered his head and remained silent.

"What is important to be an emperor is not how long it takes, but whether you have done anything for the world when you are an emperor. It is worth remembering you, worthy of your identity, status, and power."

Guo Peng sighed: "I have only been emperor for thirteen years, but I have been abdicating for seventeen years. But today, the servants still remember me, can still say my goodness, and remember what I did for them. I think what I, as an emperor, did very well, what do you think?"

Guo Jin nodded silently.

"Although my father has not been the emperor for a long time, his father's achievements are unparalleled in the world, unprecedented, and there may not be any visitors in the future."

Guo Peng laughed out loud.

"Hahahahahahaha... that's not what I'm looking forward to. If future generations don't show up, we're going to keep going downhill? There are talented people in the world, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years. Talents are always endless and endless."

As he said this, Guo Peng looked at the sunset in front of him, turned his head to look at Guo Jin, and patted his hand again.

"Go, do what you should do, and do everything for your father to help you. Next, you are two of you, Chengzhi and his son. Never forget what your father once said to you, treat the people well, and start from the people's perspective, so that you can be invincible."

Guo Jin was silent for a long time, nodded slightly, then stood up and took back to Guo Peng.

From that day on, Guo Jin had never consulted Guo Peng for government affairs, and Guo Peng gradually stopped going to the court department.

He completely picked himself out of the court and became an ordinary old man.

All his fun was concentrated on his family. He went out with Cao Lan and the others, holding his great-grandson Xiaohu in his arms, traveling all the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, and then back to Luoyang from Chang'an.

In winter, I soak in hot springs, in spring, I go to the fields to watch the farmers' hard work, in summer, catch cicadas and hop in butterflies in the scorching heat, and in autumn, I go to the fields to see the farmers' joy of harvest.

Tell Xiaohu the past stories, tell Xiaohu about his struggles along the way, hold him and tell him interesting things, talk about astronomy, geography, and sun, moon and stars.

In this way, time has come to the twenty years of Xingyuan.

In early spring this year, Guo Peng was infected with a cold wind and lay in bed for a month, barely recovering.

But since then, he often felt in poor spirits, tired and heavy, and needed to sleep more and more, and gradually couldn't do it.

The feeling that aging brings him makes him a little new because this is his first time aging.

However, the end point of aging is death. He is familiar with death and does not feel unacceptable.

Don't worry about anything, just wait slowly for the end of your life.

In April, news came from the Roman Empire that the Roman Civil War, which began several years ago, had a result.

The local power in Rome was too strong, Emperor Caracala was killed, and the centralized plan was completely failed.

The army who killed Karakala replaced it and became the recognized new emperor, abolished all the regulations set by Karakala and the real power seized from the local area, and turned everything back to the original appearance of Karakala as emperor.

It seems that the heroes from the sky from the Roman Empire have not been born.

Of course, this has little to do with the Wei Empire, and the Wei Empire still does business with the Roman Empire as usual.

The newly founded Persian Empire was booming, and its trade exchanges with the Wei Empire became increasingly close, and the Silk Road on the land became more and more prosperous.

The Kushan Empire finally split, and the war between the north and the south continued, which affected the stability of the Silk Road, which made the Persian emperor very angry and even wanted to send troops to attack the Kushan.

However, this fact greatly benefited Guo Jun, who swept across South India. He seized time to consolidate the foundation, consolidate the regime of the South India and Western Shu Kingdom he founded, and sharpened his sword and turned his back to the remnants.

Guo Qiong wrote a letter and sent it back, saying that he had achieved great military victory, occupied more and more islands, and also established a big city that conforms to his status, and had the idea of ​​building more big cities in the future.

It seems that they are all doing very well.

After reading it, Guo Peng put down the letter in his hand, stood up with a cane, walked out of the study room, walked to the palace gate, and stood there looking at Nanfang in a daze.

Cao Lan, who had been doing needlework by Guo Peng, put down the needlework in her hand and walked slowly to Guo Peng.

"What are you looking at?"

Looking along Guo Peng's gaze, there was only a vast sky.

"I'm wondering how Arjun is doing now."

Guo Peng said slowly.

"You..."

Cao Lan shook her head and sighed and said, "When the children are all here, you don't care about them. The children have left Wei and gone overseas. You just want to see them. If you had known today, why would you have been there?"

Guo Peng turned his head and looked at Cao Lan's old but calm face and smiled.

"I've known today for a long time, but even if I make another choice, I'll send them away. I never regret this. What I regret is that I didn't spend any time with them, so that they might not hate me so much."

Cao Lan pursed her lips and could only sigh.

"You've never regretted it before."

"Who doesn't regret it? It's just that I know that regret is useless, so I never waste time regretting it. I... cough cough... cough cough..."

Guo Peng coughed a few times, and Cao Lan hurriedly stepped forward to help him get calm.

"Is it okay? Don't always stand. After you recover from illness, I feel that your health is worse than before. Don't catch a cold, take a rest."

Cao Lan said this, and helped Guo Peng back to the side of the recliner, and asked the palace servants to help Guo Peng lie on the recliner.

Guo Peng lay on the recliner for a while and gradually felt a little more comfortable.

My body is getting worse day by day, and Guo Peng himself seems to have some premonitions.

After thinking about it, he was about to stand up again.

"What are you going to get up again?"

Cao Lan quickly stopped him.

"I want to go out and have a walk."

Guo Peng called the eunuch beside him and asked the eunuch to help him stand up.

"What are you going to do? It's still a little cooler now. Can't you wait a little warmer?"

Cao Lan looked worried and dissatisfied.

Guo Peng smiled and said, "What else should I warm up? It's already past April, and it's time to get hot in May. Then you will say that it's too hot, so don't go out. Be careful of heatstroke, right?"

Cao Lan was amused by his appearance.

"Go and go, come back early."

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

Guo Peng walked out of the palace gate with a cane and supported by the eunuch.

"Grandpa, where are you going?"

The eunuch asked softly.

"Go to Shouyang Mountain. I haven't been to Shouyang Mountain this year... I'll ask for more people, and I probably can't climb up now."

"The Supreme Emperor, your body..."

"You're not going to ask someone to prepare?"
