Vol 2 Chapter 1151: Finale (2)

Lin Shuping dyed Emperor Liu Zhao's hair.
The hair dye cream is made by Gu Jiu himself, with a fragrance of plants.
Compared with later chemical hair dye products, Gu Jiu's hair dye cream is 100% natural and pollution-free.
Liu Zhao grinned at the mirror.
Gu Jiu laughed at him, "How old you are, no one is right!"
Liu Zhao laughed, "I didn't pay attention to my white hair before. I will take a closer look. It really is a lot more. No wonder you refused to pull my white hair. If you pull it off like this, I have to become bald."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I personally take care of your body. Don't worry, you can't be bald."
"I am so relieved."
Lin Shuping finished dyeing his hair and said with a smile: "Your Majesty looks younger than ten years younger."
Liu Zhao smiled triumphantly in the mirror, and his black and shiny hair made him stunned.
He ostentatiously said: "It's more than ten years younger, let alone twenty years younger."
"The old slave's eyes are clumsy, and your majesty can see it right." Lin Shuping implicitly flattered.
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and grinned Liu Zhao, "No matter how young you are, you can't become a strong guy in your twenties."
Liu Zhao laughed, and said indifferently, "I will surprise all the courtiers by changing the morning."
Liu Zhao is always an idle person.
After raising him at Xiaozhu for nearly two years, he returned to the palace and was busy dealing with government affairs every day.
After two years of meditation, the body has indeed improved a lot.
Energetic and full of energy.
Make trouble, make trouble, or make trouble all day long.
Fighting with courtiers for three days and fighting each other.
Gu Jiu reminded him, "I'm not too young, just relax! Don't overwork."
Liu Zhao promised, and occasionally stayed up late to work overtime.
...
Since the toll of the bell came out, it has brought millions of taels of income to the Polytechnic Institute.
Liu Zhao was envious of it.
As a result, the money did not fall into his pocket at all.
The Institute of Technology has made a large sum of money, so under Ren Qiu's indulgence, it burned more and more wildly!
Looking at the burning of millions of taels a year, Liu Zhao was distressed.
"A big money-burning player! You can burn money even better than me. It's simply a prodigal."
Gu Jiu said,
If the Polytechnic Institute doesn’t burn money, it can’t do anything. Only by constantly burning money will there be a steady stream of new things coming out. I’ve told you before that the bell can be as big as a child’s slap. , Carry it with you, it can be called a pocket watch.
If it is successful, with such a large population in the world, as long as one percent of the population owns a small pocket watch, how much value must be created? Pocket watches can also be updated, with new appearances and new selling points. Even if it is less than one percent, there is one thousandth, which is a huge amount. There is also the steam engine I told you about. If it can be built, the world will be rewritten! If you want to create all of this, you have to burn money. A large amount of investment can be exchanged for generous returns. "
"It makes sense! I hope that those people will not live up to your expectations and can really build the steam engine you said."
"There must be that day."
...
Liu Zhao was born and lived for one year.
The weather has changed for a few days, and the climate is changing.
A cold wind knocked Emperor Liu Zhao back to his original shape.
His body is not as strong as he thought, he will never return to when he was young and strong.
He was lying on the bed, sipping the bitter soup medicine, weak and upset.
Even with Gu Jiu by his side, he couldn't calm his irritability.
"Will I die?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gu Jiu whispered.
Liu Zhao smiled, "Are you worried about me? I'm dead, you are the empress dowager."
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes to him, "Do you want to die that way?"
"I don't want to die! I said that I have to accompany you to at least sixty years old. This is still more than ten years away. I can't bear you."
"Since you can't bear me, get well soon."
Liu Zhao sighed, "But I always feel that I can't get better! This body is like a piece of tattered body. East tonic, western tonic, the more ugly. I don't want to take medicine."
Gu Jiu coaxed him, "I have prepared frosting candy for you. You can eat the candy after drinking the medicine."
Liu Zhao wrinkled his nose, "Could you take the medicine before the pond."
Gu Jiu couldn't laugh or cry. He dared to feel that the medicine was too bitter, and he played a child's temper.
She took out the frosting sugar and fed it to Liu Zhao, "Is it delicious?"
"Sweet! I heard that sugarcane is planted in many places in the south to make sugar. I really want to see if I have a chance."
"When you get healthy, we will go to the south for a walk. Let's take a look at Gangneung. The Gangneung Academy run by Cui Qi is very impressive. This year's imperial examination, Jiangling Academy passed several Jinshi, and the rankings are not bad."
"I want to take a painting boat, and a boat of singers to sing a small song."
Without saying a word, Gu Jiu reached out and pinched his ears, "Is the skin itchy?"
"I am sick, and you bully me. You don't care about me at all."
"Do you want my palace to find you a ship of singers to sing a little song now?"
Liu Zhao said solemnly: "No need! When we go to the south, listening to Wu Nong's soft words, it will taste. You have to accompany me. If you are not there, I am worried that I will be swallowed up by the boat girl."
Come on!
This is clearly showing off!
Be angry with her!
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes three times at him.
Liu Zhao had a cheerful face, jokingly and eagerly.
After eating sugar, Liu Zhao's mood improved, and Liu Zhao finally agreed to drink the medicine.
Gu Jiu got tired of sweating.
She and Qi Wang Liu Yu said: "Old child, old child, this is true. Your father is sick all his life, and his temper is like a child. You have to be coaxed by the palace to take medicine."
Liu Yu lowered his head and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Jiu asked him.
Liu Yu stopped his laughter and said, "When the son went to visit the father, the father was still very majestic. Only when the father was with the mother, would he play a child's temper and let the mother coax him."
Is this the fun of life between old couples and old wives?
Gu Jiu couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this!
Old couples and old wives have only a tacit understanding that others can't match.
Gu Jiu sat on the soft table to read a book, while Liu Zhao lay on the soft table with his head next to her.
He is breathing heavily and his condition has not improved yet.
"My broken body is worse than you."
Gu Jiu flipped through the book, "I have been recuperating since I was young, and I have persisted for decades. Of course, you are not as good as my body if you are an injured person who can't be cured."
Liu Zhao hugged her waist, "You have been restoring my body for many years, why is my body still declining?"
Gu Jiu said solemnly: "Because you missed the best time to recuperate. You were poisoned on the battlefield. If you can return to the barracks in time, you will be able to recover from illness, and you will not be in the same situation as you are now. But you wanted to be able to do so. If you are injured, use some medicine at will, and continue to fight on the battlefield as long as you can't die.
Time after time, countless injuries piled up on the body, spanning several years. After returning to the capital, he has been busy again and again. The imperial physician reminded you several times not to work hard, and you did not listen. If you don't get sick, you'll get sick all the time. After the body improves, it is not as good as before. "
Liu Zhao sat up and looked at her seriously, "Can you tell me the truth, how much life do I have?"
Gu Jiu frowned, "Why did you ask this question again? I said, you can't think about it, you just have to follow the doctor's advice..."
"I want to know my lifespan so that I can make proper arrangements and want to stay with you for a few more years."
Gu Jiu gaped.
She rubbed her eyebrows, "I said that is not appropriate. I call all the doctors of the hospital and let them answer you."
"That group of imperial doctors are all cowards, and they dare not tell the truth. I want to hear you tell the truth."
Gu Jiu was embarrassed.
Liu Zhao comforted her, "You can say, no matter what the result is, I can bear it."
Gu Jiu sighed, very tired!
She asked him, "How do you feel when you are sick this time?"
"After taking so many medicines, the disease healed very slowly. I am old, not as good as when I was young, and a wind-cold, it took less than two or three days to recover. This time it will take half a month, and I still haven't gotten better. . You said, how long will it take for my illness to get better?"
Gu Jiu said: "It is estimated that it will take another half a month of medicine to heal."
Liu Zhao frowned, "A little bit of wind and cold, you have to take medicine for a month?"
"For young people, it is indeed just a small wind chill. But for you, wind chill can kill you."
"My body is so bad? The recuperation in the previous two years is not for nothing."
"Without the recuperation of the previous two years, you simply can't resist this wind chill."
Liu Zhao was dumbfounded.
Gu Jiu squeezed his hand tightly, "So, you must follow the doctor's advice. You can't miss a meal."
Liu Zhao took a deep breath, "Do I have two years left?"
Gu Jiu said nothing.
"Tell me the truth! I have to plan early."
Gu Jiu deliberately said: "If you are willing to put aside government affairs and follow me to the other hospital for meditation, let alone two years, ten years of life can be expected. If you insist on being busy with government affairs and refuse to take a good rest, I can only say, two years It is already very lucky."
"Do I have only so much time left?"
Liu Zhao's eyes were blank.
He thought about all kinds of things, but he didn't think about death!
Gu Jiu hugged him, "Don't think too much, I will always guard you."
Liu Zhao came back to his senses, "You let me think about it."
Gu Jiu fell silent.
Liu Zhao thought of night from day to night, and from night to dawn.
The sun is good at noon.
Gu Jiu took him to the embroidered building, basking in the sun through the glass.
He said to her: "I thought about it all night. You said before that if I am willing to put aside government affairs, I will cultivate as you, and I can live for ten years? Is this true?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Your body has been subjected to high-intensity work."
Liu Zhao sighed, "I knew it would be like this. I might have spent more time recovering."
Gu Jiu smiled bitterly.
Liu Zhao suddenly made up his mind, "I decided to abdicate and pass the throne to the boss. I made an order to let the second child and Ruyang return to Beijing. When I abdicate, I hope they will all leave."
Gu Jiu looked shocked, "Are you sure? Can you really abandon the throne?"
Liu Zhao told the truth, "I can't bear to give up the throne! But if you live forever, you must make a choice. Whether to continue to love the throne, or abandon the throne to live for a few more years and stay with you for a few more years, I choose the latter. Even if there are many disagreements If I can afford it, I can put it down."
Gu Jiu hugged him tightly.
"You don't have to abdicate, just let the boss supervise the country."
"No! This is too cruel for the boss. I have been in charge of the country, but I have never been able to reach that position. After a long time, there will be chaos without chaos. I believe that he will be a good emperor. Hand over the throne. Give him my peace of mind!"
Gu Jiu looked at him, "Have you really thought about it? Don't you regret it?"
That's the throne!
The supreme throne.
Although Liu Zhao abdicated, he was the Supreme Emperor.
However, there is a saying that he is not in his position and does not seek his own government.
The Supreme Emperor cannot interfere with the emperor in everything, nor can he interfere with the affairs of the emperor.
If you become the Supreme Emperor, you have to put yourself in the right position, and you can't interfere too much in the emperor's decisions, and you can't interfere too much in political affairs.
This makes an emperor who is used to the golden mouth and jade words and commands the world, how to adapt?
Will there be conflicts between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor?
Will unspeakable consequences occur?
Liu Zhao has already thought about everything, "After abdicating, we will leave the palace. You will restore my body, and when my health is good, we will play southward. Remember to find a few singers for me to sing a little song."
Gu Jiu was very sad at first, but he laughed out of excitement when he sang a small song by the singer.
"You are thinking of the little song. I think you abdicated, it is clear that it is to go out and enjoy the scenery in Beijing."
Liu Zhao laughed, "I didn't expect you to see through the truth! The lady's eyes were like a torch, and she couldn't hide anything from you for her husband."
