After paying homage to Wang Yun, the Jinling army began to arrange the whole army in Luoyang to prepare for the return date.

After about a month's rest, the whole army of the Jinling Army began to advance to the southeast, and the target was Pengcheng in Xuzhou.

After a period of marching, the entire Jinling army finally returned to Xuzhou.

Chen Deng had already received the information, and he and Sima Yi rushed from Xuchang to Xuzhou, leading the civil and military officials and scholars of Xuzhou to meet the pottery merchants.

When the potters arrived in Jinling City, all the civil and military and family clans of Xuzhou were concentrated outside Pengcheng, and the people who led them were Chen Deng.

Seeing the army of potters appearing in front of them from far and near, Chen Deng and the others were really overjoyed.

The conquest of the world by potters was a great thing for them.

From the dragon heroes, they can be said to be the old department of Xuzhou.

When the Jinling army got closer, everyone hurriedly surrounded them and saluted the potter: "See the prime minister!" ”

The potter looked at them one by one, and finally smiled and nodded.

At this time, Sima Yi also rushed up and congratulated him: "Teacher, congratulations on pacifying Sichuan and Shu, returning with a great victory, and from now on leveling the world and enjoying peace forever!" Our good days are finally here! ”

The potter smiled and helped Sima Yi on the handrail, and said: "The Central Plains and Jingzhou are both quickly pacified, and they have not been carefully combed, if it weren't for Zhongda, Kong Ming, Yuanlong and others, I'm afraid that if I pacified Xichuan, I wouldn't be so stable, you are all working hard." ”

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Teacher, if it's decided today, isn't it time to do something that needs to be done?" ”

The potter walked with him into the city, and said lightly, "What is the right thing to do?" ”

Sima Yi looked at the Xuzhou ministers in the rear and said, "Teacher, those officials and former ministers in Xuzhou can wait to be the founding fathers of the country, and they will be the heroes of the dragon......"

The potter smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Seeing that the potter was smiling and silent, Sima Yi immediately asked, "Teacher, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "I will do what the teacher instructs, and the students don't have any ideas of their own." ”

The potter shook his head and sighed: "After a long time, I didn't expect you to become a powerful character, and you actually began to pick up good words and fool me with them." ”

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Chen Deng also hurriedly followed: "Prime Minister, I have already ordered someone to prepare a banquet for the Prime Minister in the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion." ”

The potter thought for a while and said, "I'll go back to the mansion first, and I'll talk about the banquet later." ”

Chen Deng did not persuade again, he knew the potter, and knew that every time he returned to the city after the conquest, the first thing he did was to go home and have a look.

The potter first turned his horse back to his mansion, but before he arrived at the place, he saw Diao Chan, Lu Lingqi, Mi Zhen, Yuan Wan, Zhen Mi and others waiting for him at the door of the mansion.

The potter turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and said, "Ladies, why have you all come out to wait?" is so polite, it's really unbearable for the husband. ”

It was strange that there was no smile on the faces of the women at the moment, and they did not seem to be happy about the return of the potter.

The potter was very strange.

Why did I suddenly become so unattractive to my daughters-in-law?

Diao Chan's eyes were red, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Mi Zhen stepped forward and said to the pottery merchant: "Husband, ......"

Before the husband and the other could finish speaking, they saw her crying.

Seeing this, the potter couldn't help but be stunned: "You ...... What's going on? ”

Mi Zhen choked up and said, "Husband, sister Hua'er...... went. ”

Potter: "......"

……

Outside the city of Xuzhou, in front of the mausoleum of Tao Hua.

"Sister, Tao Mou came to this world since he came, and the person who owes him the most is you, who just wanted to find someone from the clan to marry the Son of Heaven, but he never thought that he would bring you such an ending...... I can't stand you for my brother. ”

The potter made a long gesture towards the mausoleum of the pottery flower.

And beside the potter, his little nephew Liu Xi also kowtowed to his mother's grave.

"Knock, knock, knock~!"

Xiao Liu Xi is nine years old, although he is still very young, he is already sensible.

The child's personality is the same as his mother's, gentle, sensible, and easy-going...... But there is also strength in it.

"Your mother is not easy, remember her well, remember her forever, Your Majesty...... Mother is the greatest person in the world. The potter sighed rather desolately.

Liu Xi wiped the tears from his face, then stood up and looked at the potter.

"I have no father, no mother, and only my uncle is left in this world."

The potter reached out and touched Liu Xi's head.

"Uncle, I have something I want to tell you......"

"What's the matter?"

"I don't want to be this emperor anymore."

The potter's hand touching Liu Xi's head suddenly stopped.

"Who taught you that?" The potter frowned.

"My mother told me on her deathbed."

"Your mother?" The potter turned his head in surprise to look at Tao Hua's tomb and fell into deep contemplation.

Xiao Liu Xi was very calm when he spoke: "Mother said, if she goes, I am helpless in this world, only my uncle is my relative, but if I continue to be this emperor, sooner or later, my uncle will leave me...... At that time, I had no relatives......

Speaking of this, Xiao Liu Xi sobbed and said, "Xi'er has no mother, and I don't want to even have an uncle ......."

The potter leaned down, gently pressed Xiao Liu Xi's shoulders with both hands, and said, "Xi'er, do you know what the emperor is?" ”

Liu Xi nodded and said, "I probably know." ”

The potter sighed and said: "The emperor is the biggest existence in the world, everyone has to listen to him, everyone has to obey his orders, he can control the life and death of everyone, don't you want to be this emperor?" ”

Liu Xi shook his head vigorously: "I don't want to, I don't want to order others, I don't want others to listen to me, I don't want to care about the life and death of others, I just want my uncle and aunt ......."

Tao Shang said: "You are still young now, you don't understand the beauty of this, and when you grow up in the future, I'm afraid you won't think so." ”

Liu Xi said with tears in his eyes: "Then my uncle is going to make me the emperor?" And then don't want me anymore? Like my mother, leave Xi'er alone......"

The potter couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.

When he was young, he saw the potter faintly: "You really don't regret it?" ”

"No regrets!"

The potter nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you don't regret it, so what do I regret as an elder?" Hehe, everything has not been done as he likes all these years, but he is not as good as a child, my nephew doesn't want to be this emperor, I am such a big person, how can I let others lead me by the nose? Child, this emperor, let's not do it! ”

After saying that, he saw the potter stand up, lead Liu Xi back, and said, "Xi'er, do you want to see this world?" ”

"The world? What is it? Liu Xi looked at the potter in a daze, obviously not understanding what he was talking about.

"Slowly, you'll know." The potter said with a smile.
