Chapter 210 Goal Achieved, Emperor of All Ages (Grand Finale)

"Today I officially issue the imperial edict, officially appointing my eighth son, Liu Fu, as the Crown Prince. At the same time, I decree that the Crown Prince shall oversee the state affairs, not only in Liaodong, but throughout the entire Later Han Dynasty, he shall exercise the power of overseeing the state to make adjustments, supervisions, and governance changes."

After Liu Laowu's investiture, Liu Fu officially became the second most important figure in the entire Later Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, we are truly reluctant to see you leave. Liaodong is blessed to have a king like you, a blessing we have earned for generations!"

"Your Majesty, we will not stop you from leaving. Although we are truly reluctant to part with you, you must come back and visit this place often. This place is like your second home!"

"Your Majesty, these are the 'Ten Thousand People's Umbrella' and the 'Ten Thousand People's Umbrella' presented by all of us together!"

"Take care on your journey, you will always be our king!"

…………

Riding in a carriage, Liu Fu and Xiao Ying'er officially left Liaodong and headed straight for the capital.

This time, Liu Fu will leave as the Crown Prince and Regent, and will reside in the capital from now on.

Just as Liu Fu was leaving, all the people of Liaodong came to see him off. The crowd was dense and dark, and the sound of weeping rose and fell in an endless stream.

Seeing so many people come to see him off, Liu Fu was moved to tears.

Liu Fu's carriage traveled across the fields, with the procession of people following behind.

They quickly covered the ten miles.

They quickly covered another twenty miles.

Seeing that everyone was still following him and unwilling to leave, Liu Fu also felt reluctant to part with them.

But there's a saying: "Even after seeing someone off for a thousand miles, there will eventually be a parting."

Liu Fu didn't consider himself a gentleman, but he shouldn't keep sending gifts like this indefinitely; there had to be a time when this matter would end.

It was only then that Liu Fu remembered the farewell poems he had learned in Chinese class on Earth. He hadn't felt anything deeply about these poems before, but now he could understand the feeling; it was truly heartbreaking.

Parting is always sad and reluctant. Liu Fu didn't understand this before, but now he finally does.

Seeing that everyone was still reluctant to leave, the sky gradually darkened.

Liu Fuzhe stepped out of the carriage, looked at the people seeing him off, and bowed three times:

"Everyone, please stop seeing me off. If you keep doing this, you'll be taking me all the way to the capital. Even if you see someone off for a thousand miles, you will eventually have to part ways. If you keep seeing me off like this, we will still have to part ways one day. Why don't you leave this hope and wait for me to come back again?"

"I assure you all here that Liaodong is also my home. After all, my fiefdom was once here. I will bring Ying'er back to visit you every year."

With Liu Fu's promise, the people were moved to tears. Liu Fu bowed to them three times, and they returned the favor by bowing to him three times in return.

After arriving in the capital, Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu officially began working in the central government. The structure remained the same, with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, Vice Prime Minister Xun Yu, Xiao He, and others joining, along with Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Hai Rui, Bao Zheng, Song Ci, and Changsun Wuji.

At this moment, Liu Bei felt the joy of being an emperor for the first time. He no longer had to review memorials every day. Zhuge Liang did everything meticulously, and Xun Yu was even more serious and upright in his work.

The memorials they processed were practically perfect. Unless it was a very serious matter that required Liu Laowu to make the final decision, these two could handle everything else.

Moreover, it can guarantee complete fairness and impartiality, without any bias.

Soon after, Liu Laowu issued an imperial edict stating that the Crown Prince would be required to study the principles of governance and administration, and would be temporarily immersed in a period of study.

The Crown Prince, Liu Fu, suddenly came up with this statement, saying that the tutor didn't need to study anything anymore, and that he was planning to take a spontaneous trip with Xiao Ying'er.

Actually, calling it a trip wouldn't be quite right; it was more like an incognito visit.

Liu Fu couldn't possibly go without anyone by his side, but if he were to bring someone along, it would definitely be his closest confidante, and that would be Xiao Ying'er.

This trip could be described as an incognito visit, a journey, a traveler's tour of the world, or even a complete traversal of life. In short, Liu Fu planned to go wherever the road took him, intending to see the entire world.

Of course, he would also secretly investigate how local governments treated the people, whether they seriously adhered to the various systems of the imperial court, and whether there were still many wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice in the countryside that needed to be corrected.

He will take note of all these things and resolve them all if he can.

After that, news of Liu Fu rarely appeared again. Only occasionally, when there were major events, would Liu Fu return to Liaodong once, and every year he would make a trip to see the people of Liaodong.

Apart from that, no one knew where Liu Fu went. Most people outside thought that Liu Fu was still studying diligently.

But in the following year, a new generation of chivalrous king and a new generation of chivalrous heroine suddenly appeared in the martial arts world.

Both the King and Queen of Heroes were swordsmen, with the King of Heroes possessing exceptional skills.

It was also revealed that the two were actually husband and wife, and soon they were given a new title in the martial arts world: the Sword God Couple.

A new male and female sword god have emerged in the martial arts world.

Wherever he went, he acted chivalrously and fought for justice.

If there are truly corrupt officials, they dare to kill them; if there are wrongful convictions, they dare to defend them.

Soon, their fame spread throughout the martial arts world and throughout the entire Later Han Dynasty.

Three years later.

When Liu Fu and Xiao Ying'er returned to the capital, they had a boy and a girl with them.

This is the culmination of their three years of love.

After years of eager anticipation, Liu Fu has finally returned.

"Old man, how have you been these past few years?"

At first, Liu Fu did return, but then there was no news of him. For the past two years, Liu Laowu has been eagerly waiting and missing Liu Fu.

I had been hoping to have a chance to meet him, and now my wish has finally come true.

More than three years had passed since they last met, and Liu Laowu had more white hair, a more hunched back, a more stooped waist, and more wrinkles.

"Kid, don't even think about escaping my grasp this time. You'll be the emperor whether you want to or not. Your father can retire now. I'll be managing my vegetable garden, governing the country, and ruling the world. You can do those things yourself!"

Liu Laowu had long been eager to abdicate and make way, and Liu Fu had returned this time to succeed his father.

When Liu Fu first arrived in this place, he didn't feel much of a sense of belonging to the Liu family. But now, after spending more time with them, he has truly begun to regard them as family.

He also began to treat all his brothers and sisters as his own family.

On a bright and sunny day, Liu Laowu formally handed over the entire Later Han Dynasty to Liu Fu, along with the Imperial Seal of the State.

On this bright and sunny day, the First Emperor of All Time abdicated, and the First Emperor of Ten Thousand Time officially ascended the throne! (The End)
