Under the auspices of Han Fei, the power of governance was smoothly transferred from the hands of Chen Sheng to the hands of the next consul Jia Yi.

Of course, it was not announced to the outside world that Chen Sheng had resigned as the consul of the National Government of the Han Dynasty. In the hearts of more than 120 million Han people, he was still the consul of the Han Dynasty.

Chen Sheng, who was completely separated from the heavy government affairs, was not at a loss as Han Fei, Fan Zeng and others expected. He felt disappointed and couldn't help but ask about state affairs again, or continued to express his opinions on state affairs in another way.

He is really like an ordinary retired old man, raising cats and dogs every day, cultivating wasteland, wearing comfortable clothes sewn by himself, eating simple food cooked by himself, and even irrigating his few acres of thin farmland.

He personally dug a pond in the palace, planted lotus roots, and raised river fish...

Not to mention that the officials of the National Government could no longer bother him with the government. Even Han Fei, Fan Zeng, Bai Qi and other old ministers and old friends who had achieved great success in the Han Dynasty found it extremely difficult to enter the palace to see him.

To be precise, Changning Palace basically does not receive any guests except during New Year holidays.

In Chen Sheng's words, that is: 'You old guys are poisonous. As long as I'm with you, there will be no time for purity.'

Han Fei and others really had nothing to do with them, so they could only let him lock him up in Changning Palace and be like a salted fish.

The new governor, Jia Yi, also showed great enthusiasm after taking over the power of the National Government of the Han Dynasty. He worked hard every day to handle government affairs, going to bed at midnight and getting up at the fifth watch, all year round, to serve the interests of the Han Dynasty.

Development has contributed all its light and heat.

When he took office, he still strictly implemented the basic national policies set by Chen Sheng during his reign, promoting the good development of the Han Empire, steadily improving, accumulating less and making more!

Of course, even Chen Sheng made mistakes when he was in power. Of course, he would not have no problems at all during his time in power.

But as long as the people's morale of the Han Dynasty is stable and the morale of the military is stable, there will still be a chance to correct mistakes after they are acknowledged!

In order for him to escape smoothly, Chen Sheng left the four great kings that he had carefully cultivated for many years: Dharma Saint Han Fei, Farmer Saint Lu Shu, Soldier Saint Bai Qi, and Martial Saint Xiang Yu!

Among the four Vajras, Han Fei is the most holy, and he is blessed by the laws of the Han Dynasty. Although the time to become the most holy is still short, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Confucius and becomes the most powerful holy in the nine heavens and ten earths, and this time is inevitable.

It will be extremely short-lived!

Although Lu Shu, Bai Qi, and Xiang Yu are all just sub-sages, each of them has super strong combat power and can collide with the Holy Saint head-on without falling behind!

What? Lu Shu?

What determines the strength of a saint is their achievements and merits. In terms of achievements and merits, which sub-sage in the world is better than the peasant saint Lu Shu? There are 120 million citizens in the Han Dynasty. How many of them dare to pat their chests and say that there is absolutely no such thing?

Are there any improved grains, vegetables, or poultry produced by Tarusu?

The reason why he seems to be weak in combat is just because of the hoe he wields... Give him a Qinglong Yanyue Sword and try it?

These four kings all have the power and strength to bring the Han Empire back on track when it deviates from the right track.

As for when it is time to use this power and strength, Chen Sheng believes that they will all decide on their own.

After all, he has just retired and is no longer a burp.

Even if he belches, as long as humanity is still a concern, he will still have countless ways to teach them what it means to be cautious in their words and deeds!

Even if one day the humane old father no longer recognizes him as his godson, he should never be bullied by dogs...

Those idiots who thought they could do whatever they wanted with the big man after his death, Chen Sheng would definitely let them know what it means to be the dead man!

…

This warm time after retirement.

This is Chen Sheng's rare leisure time in his life.

Although it is not as exciting as the time when he and A Yu were traveling on a budget pretending to be a couple of heroes.

But it has a timeless and warm flavor.

It's like the endless river of time. When it reaches the two old people's home, it deliberately slows down and becomes gentle and quiet. The broad surface of the river reflects the fiery red sunset, which is warm and gorgeous...

Isn't this exactly the life he dreams of?

'It would be great if my eldest sister was here too!'

He thought of this more than once.

It was not until the twenty-fifth year of the Han Dynasty that Chen Sheng sat on the bedside of his hospital bed again.

But this time, the one lying on the hospital bed was no longer the few remaining old ministers of Renwu, but Ayu...

…

Chen Sheng gently placed three fingers on Ayu's wrist, carefully sensing her pulse.

Ah Yu naughtily stretched out her left hand to smooth out the wrinkles between his eyebrows. The gracefully aging old woman, even though her complexion was gray, still had a bit of a daughter's coquettishness in her eyebrows.

Chen Sheng let her do useless work. After a while, he gently put her right hand under the quilt, tucked the corner of the quilt, and said with a chuckle: "It's not a big deal. Just drink two more decoctions and you will be cured!"

He was trying hard to smile, but he didn't know that the corner of his lip had been bitten and bled.

"Brother, can I ask you something?"

A Yu had a flattering smile on his face and whispered softly.

Chen Shenghu said with a face: "I can't do it now. If anything happens, I'll talk about it after you get better!"

A Yu shook his head, still speaking in a soft and weak tone, but there was a hint of stubbornness in his eyes: "I have never asked my eldest brother for anything in my life. This is just one thing. How can I do that, eldest brother?"

"

Seeing her look like this, Chen Sheng knew that he couldn't defeat her...

All her life, she has lived with the word "perseverance".

I thought he was a good person back then and risked my life to block the blow that almost killed him. It was persistence.

If he doesn't marry later, she will never marry for the rest of her life, which is stubbornness.

Later, even though he knew that his body was not suitable for childbearing, he insisted on giving birth to a daughter for Chen Sheng, which was also stubborn.

At her core, she is more stubborn than most men and has more courage than most men!

Chen Sheng sighed in his heart and gently stroked her soft but not warm cheek: "Let's talk about it, but let me declare first that I may not agree to you!"

Ayu continued to shake his head: "No, I only ask for this one thing from my eldest brother in my life, and my eldest brother must agree to it no matter what... Unless, my eldest brother doesn't want me anymore and disowns me!"

Chen Sheng lowered his eyelids sadly and whispered: "You don't want me, don't you want to recognize me?"

Ah Yu reached out to caress his tangled brow again, and said with confusion: "But, but... I still want brother to take care of the children again on our behalf."

Chen Sheng put his weak palms against his cheeks and whispered softly, as if crying and laughing: "But the children all have their own homes. After you leave, I will never have a home again."

Ayu said softly: "But the eldest brother is not only my eldest brother, but also the Emperor of all the Han people. How could the eldest brother abandon all the Han people and come with me because of me?"

Chen Sheng: "Without me, they will still have a new Human Emperor, but without me, can you find other husbands?"

Ayu was startled, as if his mind couldn't turn around for a moment. When he came to his senses, he shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, eldest sister will blame me..."

Chen Sheng: "If I'm not afraid of her, I still want to settle the score with her. Why did you leave us alone back then?"

Ayu struggled to sit up: "But, but..."

Chen Sheng comforted her and coaxed her back to the hospital bed: "It's nothing to worry about. I have arranged everything. I have asked Meng Yi to take care of our blessed land. I am in the middle, the eldest sister is on the right, and you are on the left. Who are we to do this this time?"

Don't leave anyone behind anymore, let's go together..."

Ayu's mind was filled with confusion, but he still shook his head hard: "No, no, brother, you are the Emperor of Humanity, there is no such reason..."

Chen Sheng calmly made the final decision: "I have done all the things that the Human Emperor should do. Now I am just your husband, the father of the big cow, the two horses, and the small fish, and the grandfather of Shu'er, Lang'er and the others!"

Ayu still wanted to struggle, but she no longer had the strength to argue with him. She was really too tired.

…

That night, Chen Sheng summoned all Chen family members into the palace.

Even Chen Ao, he asked Da Mao to go to the grassland to pick him up.

The specifications are the same as when Chen Shou was famous.

In front of all Chen family members, Chen Sheng called brothers Chen Qi and Chen Tai to him. In front of them, he took out two ping-pong-sized balls, one red and one black, and put them one after another into the upper opening.

in a black wooden box.

"Back then, you two brothers had a quarrel over the matter of establishing a prince. I think you all know why I didn't do it back then!"

Chen Sheng shook the black wooden box, nodded and affirmed: "You haven't come to me to make trouble about this matter in these years. This shows that you have read the book clearly and are sensible. It also shows that the three of us, father and son, are like-minded.

I am proud to have such outstanding descendants as you!”

After saying this, Chen Qi and Chen Tai, who already had strands of white hair in their hair, couldn't help but blush!

When the Han Dynasty reformed the system, why didn't they want to make trouble with Chen Sheng?

Obviously I don’t dare!

When they were young, they could rely on their status as sons to come to their old father to kowtow with confidence.

When they truly saw the world, they gradually came to the same realization as their grandfather: 'Our dad is not just our dad, he is also an emperor throughout the ages!'

At the same time, they also admired themselves more and more for being a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers... That was a real tiger!

Ji Zhou, a great man who could defeat millions of coalition troops on Taiping Road, dared to argue with him?

After Chen Sheng finished his PUA as usual, he stretched out the black wooden box in his arms to the two brothers: "You should also know what is going on in our Han royal family now. The disadvantage is that the power is gone, and the advantage is that there is no responsibility.

Got it!"

"With the remaining property, as long as the children and grandchildren don't commit suicide, even if they are stingy or mean, with your father's old face, he can still protect them for a hundred years, and they will have enough food and clothing for a thousand years!"

"Compared to throwing a broken chair here and asking you to kill each other and fight with swords over this broken chair, I think what I am doing is truly the way to be a father!"

"Of course, even if you don't agree with my point of view, there's nothing you can do about it. I'm trying to earn this chair with my head in my hand. I naturally have the power to deal with it. Are you not convinced? If you are not convinced, just go out and try it out on your own. You must be able to

When you build a country overseas, I don’t have any problem with it even if you build a slave country!"

"If you don't have the guts and are still not convinced, then hold it in for me and don't let it slip. If anyone dares to grin and talk nonsense outside, I will break their legs!"

"This is the situation. I don't know which one of you wants this chair and which one doesn't want this chair. We are a family, so we won't talk about establishing a long-term and virtuous person. Anyway, no matter how you talk about it, it will be fine."

There will always be people who are dissatisfied, who always feel that others are playing dirty tricks and using tricks, and in the end, the brotherhood will be hurt!"

"If I see you fighting for such a broken chair up there in a hundred years, I will jump out of the coffin and strangle you unfilial sons to death!"

"So, let's simply make a decision and decide by drawing lots. We are all men and are willing to admit defeat!"

"Catch the black ball and become the next Emperor of the Han Dynasty. As a symbol of the Republic of Han, enjoy all the courtesy and preferential treatment given to the Emperor by the country!"

"Catch the red ball and become the next head of the Chen family. He will be responsible for taking care of all the royal family's property, distribute it uniformly, and accept the supervision of all royal family members!"

"Of course, as long as you two make good decisions and seize the position of Human Emperor and want to give it to your brothers, I have no problem with it!"

"In short, it's just one sentence: I'm willing to admit defeat, and when I walk out of this door, everything will be settled!"

"If anyone comes out of this house and presses Lai Lai again, saying that I am unfair and partial to others, then immediately hand over all the property and identity given by the Chen family, and get out of here naked!"

"I, Chen Sheng, the first hero, don't have such descendants who are like flies and dogs, and are willing to compare every penny with the baht!"

"What I said, you two brothers, do you recognize it or not?"

Chen Sheng was not angry, and stared at the two brothers Chen Qi and Chen Tai with eyes like tiger eyes.

The two brothers stared at the old father's majestic face in stunned silence, and then looked at the wooden box in front of them, which they dug out from some corner of the carpentry room. They both secretly doubted life: "It's so difficult to decide who will be the emperor."

A solemn and grand event... so casual?'

Although Chen Sheng said that the throne of the Human Emperor was as worthless as dirt, the two brothers were both old men who had been involved in the officialdom of the Han Dynasty for a long time. What did the position of the Human Emperor mean to the Han Dynasty? Who could not figure it out?

The two brothers had the intention to reject their old father's childish way of drawing lots, but looking at their old father's unquestionable majestic face, no one had the courage to speak.

The Chen family members in the room looked at the two brothers, and no one dared to speak, and it was difficult for them to speak.

Someone as senior as Chen Ao can only serve as a witness at this moment and cannot express any preference.

Soon, the elder brother Chen Qi secretly gritted his teeth, nodded with a red face and said: "What my father said, if your son accepts it, he must remember it in his heart and pass it on from generation to generation. He will never forget his father's teachings!"

When Chen Tai heard that his brother, who was obviously at a disadvantage, acknowledged the distribution method, he quickly admitted: "My son also admits it. He will definitely listen to his children and never forget his father's teachings!"

Chen Sheng nodded approvingly to his two sons and said happily: "Very good, you have such courage, I am proud of you!"

After speaking, he placed the wooden box on the ground: "Who comes first!"

The two brothers looked at each other.

Chen Qi made a "please" gesture to Chen Tai with a warm face: "Second brother, you come first!"

Chen Tai quickly replied: "Brother comes first. How can I be a younger brother? It's better for me to go first!"

Chen Qi took a deep look at him, and was not shy about Chen Sheng's presence in front of him. He scolded softly: "You, you, you are good at everything, but you are a little too narrow-minded!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, reached into the black wooden box, grabbed a small ball, and took it out.

Everyone took a closer look...the black ball!

The view inside the house was as complex as a market.

But the light of hope that had just appeared in Chen Tai's eyes was extinguished in an instant, and his face was even darker than when he first arrived!

Chen Sheng looked at the second son seriously and said in a deep voice: "Second son, do you accept it or not?"

Chen Tai secretly gritted his teeth and tried his best to squeeze out one word from between his teeth: "Submit!"

Chen Sheng nodded: "Just obey. Today, while our family is here, I will say it to death. I have no preference for anyone. Who can be the Human Emperor and who cannot be the Human Emperor are all decided by you. In this case, if

If anyone makes an argument about this matter again, or even fights in private... Then don't blame me for being serious. I always speak with a sharp tongue. If I can say it, I will definitely do it, even my son can't do it.

Will be excluded!"

When Chen Tai heard this, his heart suddenly trembled.

He's not stupid, how could he not realize that the old father's words were meant for him?
Chapter completed!
