Chapter 297 "The Turning Point of History"
For the rest of my life, I will never ascend the throne, I will only be the Regent!
In front of Du Wei, Prince Son revealed the hidden determination in his heart. Of course, this came as a surprise to Du Wei.
After revealing these secrets, Prince Son also seemed a little tired. Looking up at the sky, he faintly smiled: "Well, today's story ends here. Remember my words and stay in the capital for a few more days. At the beginning of spring, participate in my baptism ceremony before you leave. During this time, when the news is released, I'm afraid the capital will be in chaos for a while. "
After a pause, he smiled: "It's getting late. I originally wanted to keep you for dinner, but I'm a little tired today. And I know you won't be able to eat to your heart's content if you eat with me. Villa and the others must have been waiting for a banquet for you. I won't keep you any longer. In the next few days, if you have any business with me, you can come to the palace at any time. I've already told my subordinates that if the Grand Duke of the Tulip Family requests an audience, no one is allowed to stop him. "
Du Wei quickly said his goodbyes and left the palace garden with a stomach full of shock.
Today's harvest was not small. Du-Wei also didn't think that the Emperor, who was now in power, would voluntarily give up the throne!
When Du Wei walked out of the garden, the palace guards waiting outside came up and led Du Wei all the way out. But not long after he left, a young woman wearing palace maid attire came running out from a door next to the palace. Taking two steps forward, she whispered: "Grand Duke of the Tulip Family, please wait a moment."
Du Wei stopped in his tracks and turned around to take a look. Dressed in a palace maid uniform, the girl looked to be in her twenties. Her appearance was quite delicate and pretty, and her manners were clearly influenced by the palace etiquette.
Du Wei had learned some palace etiquette. Just by looking at this maid's attire, he could tell that her rank wasn't low. It's just that she's so young and looks like she rarely goes out of the palace. So when she spoke to him, she lowered her head as if she was shy.
"What's the matter? Does the Regent have any other orders? "Du Wei sized up this maid.
The girl's face turned red as she spoke in a soft voice: "Grand Duke of the Tulip Family, I'm the maid responsible for taking care of His Highness Charlie and Princess Karina … … Hmm, it's not the Regent who sent me, it's the two princes … …"
Hearing this, Du-Wei had some doubts in his heart. Looking at the female official: "Your Highness?"
"Yes." The maid took a deep breath and was finally not so shy: "The two princes said that it's an honor to be able to meet the world-famous Grand Duke of the Tulip Family today. They wanted me to convey their greetings to you. Also … … you must know the Regent's meaning. In the future, please teach them more. Although they have yet to formally acknowledge you as their master, the two princes are very much looking forward to your teachings. Originally, I wanted to invite you over, but it's getting late and I don't dare to delay your time. I can only look for an opportunity another day. However, in order to express their admiration for their master, I would like to ask you to … … leave a little bit of guidance so that the two princes can use it as an initiation before their formal teaching. "
These words were very appropriate. Du Wei estimated that the two children wouldn't be able to say such things. Although Prince Charlie looked like a little adult, such high-sounding words were not something an eight year old child would be able to come up with.
Thinking of this, Du Wei smiled at the maid and asked: "Hmm, what is your name?"
The maid blushed and lowered her head. She bowed her body and spoke in a very elegant manner: "Your Excellency the Duke, please call me Lanlan. In addition to being responsible for the daily life of the two princes, I also serve as the etiquette maid for the two princes. "
Hmm, so she is a court etiquette teacher. But such a young one is rare. This girl called Lanlan is not extremely beautiful, but her manner is gentle and elegant, making people feel very comfortable.
Du Wei pondered for a moment.
Today, the Regent took the initiative to ask him to teach his children. Moreover, he had told him so many secret stories, and had also expressed his desire to never ascend the throne as Emperor. Then the throne will definitely be given to his son in the future. Letting him teach the future emperor can be regarded as a kind of high regard and a great trust. It is not good to refuse.
What's more, I still have the title of a court scholar.
On the Roland Continent, especially in the aristocratic circle, there is such a custom! Whenever a noble family hired a teacher for their children, the teacher would have to give the children a gift of enlightenment before they formally acknowledged the teacher as their teacher. If it is a casual gift, such as giving an easy to understand book, the meaning is that the child should read more.
Or a delicate goose feather pen, the meaning is for the child to take more notes. Or some of the teacher's own insights, so that the child can figure it out by themselves. There are even teachers who believe in Shrines and will give their children a book of Shrines.
It is also a tradition in the aristocratic circle of the Roland Continent to worship a teacher.
For example, Du Wei's teacher in the past gave him the first volume of the history of the continent before the lesson. That was the hope that Du Wei would read more history and know that the past can be used to describe the present.
Seeing this maid called Lanlan come to ask for an initiation gift on behalf of the two princes, it is most likely His Highness Chen's idea.
Du Wei pondered for a moment and felt around in his arms. From his magic storage bag, he pulled out a thick book.
This book is the first volume of the "General History of the Continent" given to Du-Wei by his teacher when he was young. (Of course, there is more than one book in the entire set of the "General History of the Continent")
Du Wei handed it over and said with a smile: "His Highness the Regent just told me about this today, so I did not prepare anything. However, this book was given to me by my teacher when I was studying. When I read it, I wrote some of my own thoughts and notes. Some of the points may not be correct, but fortunately, they are novel and should be of interest to the child. Take it and help me pass it to His Highness. "
Lanlan solemnly received it, then bowed to Du Wei before turning to leave.
Du-Wei was deep in thought … … The Regent really has high expectations for his child. Shaking his head, he then left the palace.
Today, he has an appointment with Biliaibuer, so naturally, he went back to the Duke's mansion to change his clothes. Then, he went to socialize with the core figures of the Regent's faction.
That night, Count Biliaibuer and De Lanshan, the two big moneybags, were present. Naturally, he had to go to the brothel outside the city to enjoy wine and beautiful women. Although Du Wei may not be that enthusiastic about these matters, but he is now the leader of the Regent's faction. Of course, he must give some face to his colleagues. Of course, he will have to deal with them.
•
Duwei, the Duke of the Tulip Family, went to drink the wine set up by his colleagues.
The female official named Lanlan carefully took the book Du Wei gave her and returned to the palace hall. Just as she walked in, a boy and a girl ran up to her. It was the eight year old Prince Charlie and the six year old Karina.
Charlie looked at Lanlan eagerly. Seeing Lanlan come back, he immediately hugged her hand and said loudly: "Lanlan, let me see. What good thing did the Duke give us?"
Having said that, he took the book from Lanlan's hands and read through it. However, he couldn't help but be disappointed. He angrily threw the book back to Lanlan and said with a frown: "This Duke of the Tulip Family is really stingy! The first volume of the continent's history, and it's even an old book! Humph, don't tell me I don't even have a book like 'Continental History' in my study? You want him to give it to me? I heard that the Duke of the Tulip Family is a famous magician. I thought he would give me a magic book … … Sigh, what a disappointment! "
With a face full of disappointment, Charlie turned and left. Lanlan called out twice, but he ignored her in anger and walked into the hall.
Lanlan's face was helpless, but she couldn't say anything. She softly said to Princess Karina in front of her: "Dear Little Highness, sigh, this book is an initiation gift from the Regent. Can you help me take it to Prince Charlie? "
Lanlan has been taking care of the princess since she was young. She has a gentle and delicate temperament, making the princess very intimate with her. Hugging Lanlan, the princess softly said: "Good Lanlan, is this book a gift from the Duke of the Tulip Family? Why doesn't brother like it? If he doesn't like it, then give it to me. Is this book about the Duke of the Tulip Family building a castle in the Northwest and beating up the prairie people? "
Lanlan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing the princess reach out and take the book away, she didn't dare to snatch it back. She quickly said: "Princess, this … … this is an initiation gift for Prince Charlie … …"
"It's also for me." Little Princess Karina's innocent face revealed a trace of mischief unique to children: "Brother's teacher is also going to teach me. Giving it to me is the same."
After saying that, she skipped away with the book.
After the little princess took Du Wei's book, she went back to her room and started flipping through it. She is a princess and has been extremely smart since she was a child. Inheriting the talent of Prince Son, she was able to read and read at a very early age.
She has heard of the legend of the Duke of the Tulip Family, so she has long been curious about it. Today, when she got the book, she was full of joy. She only hoped to see the story of the Duke of the Tulip Family in it. Unfortunately, after flipping through the book for a while, the little girl found that it wasn't what she expected. She couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and disappointed.
This book is an official historical document of the Roland Continent. Although the official history is more or less glossed over, it is still generally objective. Many people knew the principle of knowing the past and the present and using history as a mirror.
With nearly a thousand years of history of the Roland Empire, how can it be recorded in just one book? Therefore, there are more than a dozen books in total. The first book given by Du Wei is the first volume, which is the preface. It doesn't really talk about the history of the dynasty. Instead, it gives a general overview of the origin and current situation of the Roland Empire. For example, the human geography, customs, and habits of the continent, especially the imperial system, religious power, and so on.
Originally, these things are a bit profound for a six year old girl. After reading for a while, she would probably feel bored and throw it away. However, this Princess Karina is really an anomaly. She has been smart since she was a child, and her talent is comparable to her father, Prince Son. Although she seems to understand the preface of the first volume, she can only understand 20 to 30% of it. Most of it is completely unknown to her.
It's just that in this book, between the lines, there are a lot of Du Wei's personal notes. Some of the notes are more messy and can't be said to be any insights, but when Du Wei was in the mood to read, he casually left behind some of his own thoughts and feelings.
This was the time when little Karina was curious about Du Wei. Although she only flipped through a few pages of the book and couldn't understand most of the content, but Du Wei's notes were very interesting. Gradually, little Karina's interest was piqued.
The original text of the book talks about the separation of government and religion in the Roland Empire. It also talks about the introduction of the Shrines of Light and the Goddess of Light.
Below, Du Wei left a line of crooked words:
"What did God give to humans? Why do humans worship God? Ordinary people contribute the fruits of their hard work to God. When they are hungry and thirsty, what can God do? Can they be full just by praying a few words of 'Bless the Goddess'? "
The book introduces the Holy Shrines of Light, the continent's number one religious organization, and talks about some of the clergy.
Du Wei wrote at the bottom: "The so-called clergy are nothing more than charlatans! They don't produce and enjoy the fruits of others' labor! Shameless to the extreme! They are clearly social parasites! If everyone on the continent becomes a charlatan, sitting in the Shrines and praying a few words of 'Long Live the Goddess', waiting for others to bring them food and drink – if everyone does this, the world will starve to death! "
In the book, it is written that the clergy are not allowed to marry and have children. Du Wei wrote at the bottom: "Bullshit! If everyone is like this, the human race will be extinct! If people are gone, how can the Shrines flourish! "
Originally, there were some vulgar words in these words that the honorable Princess Karina could not understand. However, she had never seen such words before. The more she thought the Duke of the Tulip Family's point of view, the more she felt that it was interesting. She could not help but flip through the pages...
In fact, Du Wei wrote a lot of anti-religious remarks in this book. In the eyes of the outside world, it can be considered as a rebel heresy. However, these words were written many years ago. Many of them were written in the heat of the moment. After writing them down, he forgot about them later on. After so many years, how could he remember what he wrote in the book? Today, he rashly took it out and gave it to the young Princess. It was not that he was reckless. First, he himself could not remember what he wrote. Second, the royal family was not happy with the Shrines anyway. Letting the royal family see these things was not a big deal.
But this young Princess Karina, with a pure heart and a blank slate in her life, could not help but be greatly affected when she read Du Wei's point of view!
Little Karina was so engrossed in reading that she could not help but read until night time. She even hurriedly ate her dinner. In fact, she may not have understood it, but she felt that Du Wei's point of view was something that no one had ever told her before.
Finally, she turned to the last page and saw that Du Wei had written a few sentences in the blank space of the book: Any religion in the world is nothing more than using the name of God to fool the world. Whether God exists or not, that is God's business. However, in these religions, when a human puts on the robe of God, they can oppress other humans! The essence is obviously 'human oppressing other humans', what does it have to do with God?
If a bandit uses a knife to rob someone of their money, that is a criminal. But if the bandit replaces the knife with the robe of God and then says' in the name of God 'to the person being robbed, then he is no longer a bandit, but a noble!
There were a few more sentences at the end, but they were not written by Du Wei. Instead, they were famous sentences in a novel that Du Wei had read on the internet in his previous life:
I want this sky to no longer be able to cover my eyes!
I want this earth to no longer be able to bury my heart!
I want all living beings to understand my intentions!
I want all gods and demons to vanish!
These few sentences that Du Wei had written on the internet in his previous life had shocked countless people. Little Karina was immediately stunned! Although she was limited by her young age and was unable to comprehend all of it, the boldness and decisiveness in the sentences made her feel excited whenever she thought about it.
The more she read, the more agitated her heart became. Her simple mind could not help but let her imagination run wild. Looking at the shocking views written by Duwei, she couldn't help but fall into a trance as she thought about it ….
Du Wei would never have thought that this notebook that he had inadvertently given away would become an episode that changed the history of the entire Roland Continent. It was a turning point in the long river of history!
When the intelligent little princess happened to be at the most blank period of her life, it affected her thoughts, views, and even her personality!
Although Karina was still young and might not be able to understand it, she had always kept this book by her side. In the process of growing up, she would take it out and read it from time to time. As she grew older and learned more, she became more and more deeply influenced by Du Wei's views!
What Du Wei did not expect was that relying on this enlightening notebook to influence the little princess, he would create an important person with epoch-making significance for the entire Roland Continent in the future!

"In my life, I do not believe in any god. If I really want to believe in something, then it is in everyone's heart! We can believe in the spirit, but we don't have to believe in a god doll! "
"To me, anyone can be doubted, but he is an exception. Because he is the one who made me, who taught me everything I need to know! "
— Years later, in the Roland Empire's Augustine Dynasty, Her Majesty Queen Karina was crowned with the title of "Bloody Thorn Flower" by the later generations.
