Kim Yoon was shocked. In fact, everything had happened too naturally. He did not know much about the change in status.
Was there a difference between being an emperor and being a prince?
GongYimo sighed. Now, she felt like she was the old mother.
"You … From now on, you are the emperor of Yuheng. You no longer belong to yourself. Your only responsibility and obligation is to make Yuheng prosper. Everything in the past is in the past. From now on, what you yearn for and care about should be the country of Yuheng."
Kim Yoon's eyes suddenly flashed with pain. He understood what GongYimo meant. But, was this the price to pay for being an emperor?
He looked at GongYimo and frowned slightly.
"Can't I even choose the woman I like?"
GongYimo covered her mouth and smiled. "… That's great. I'm really flattered that you all like me so much. But … have you ever thought about reality?"
Although she was smiling, her tone was serious.
"If you really marry me, do you think I can bring more benefits or more disadvantages?"
Not to mention the benefits, the disadvantages were more obvious, right?
Kim Yoon was no longer the Kim Yoon of the past. He stood high and saw far. If he wanted to marry GongYimo, it would be impossible before she handed over the firearms. Even if he could keep the position of empress empty and not take any concubines, would the courtiers agree? Would the people of Yuheng agree?
He was not doing this because he loved GongYimo, but because he was causing trouble for her. Even if he took a step back and thought about it, what if she really married him?
This fantasy was sweet, but he did not dare to think about it in the past. Now that he thought about it, he could only sigh sadly.
GongYimo was not someone who would belong to any country. If she really married Yuheng, with Gong Dai's character, he would definitely start a war! Even if they were willing to start a war over a woman, Mo'er … was the last thing she wanted to see.
Moreover, in the future, when the four countries developed, they would be neck to neck. GongYimo could not be the sole owner of a country, or else it would break the balance. The reason why there was no problem now was because the four countries were in a stage of transformation and had no time to care about each other.
But in the future, with Mo'er's intelligence, if she were to get married, people would definitely think that she was biased towards her husband's country, which would cause dissatisfaction from other countries. Perhaps this was also the reason why she was unwilling to hand over the firearms and was unwilling to get married. She was much more far-sighted than he was.
Seeing that he did not speak, GongYimo sighed.
"Balance means development. It's not that I'm overestimating myself, but based on the current situation, I won't marry any monarch. This isn't marriage, it's more like shifting the blame onto someone else. "
She joked with herself in a relaxed tone.
And Kim Yoon immediately thought of the oath that Gong Dai made in front of everyone when he broke the ladder — Gong Dai must have understood this point long ago, so he swore that he would never fight for the throne. He was really … prescient … Kim Yoon smiled bitterly.
GongYimo saw his miserable expression and could not help but comfort him.
"Brother Kim Yoon, you have to believe that there is no lack of people in this world. They come and go, it doesn't matter. When a person is empty, there will be countless people to replace him. No one will accompany you to the end. Life … is a journey of enjoying parting and giving up."
Kim Yoon's heart ached, "You wouldn't say this in the past. Such sad words shouldn't come out of your mouth."
GongYimo blinked and smiled. Her expression changed, like an elf.
"You feel sad? But I don't think so. After one person leaves, you get another person. This is a kind of gain, isn't it?
How can your eyes only see the back of one person leaving, but not the smile of another person coming? You have to know that there are two sides to everything. I've always told you to look at the other side. Look at you, have you forgotten again? "
Kim Yoon suddenly grabbed her finger. His expression was sincere and somewhat fearful.
"But what can I do? I only want one person. Can't I even have such a small wish as the Emperor? Then what's the point of being the Emperor?! "
This time, GongYimo did not withdraw her hand. Instead, she used her other hand to hold his somewhat cold hand.
"It's very meaningful. Although every kind of feeling is supreme, there is one thing that is above all feelings."
"What?"
Kim Yoon asked subconsciously.
GongYimo smiled. Her smile was always so bright and beautiful. That pair of clear eyes seemed to contain everything in the world, including everything in the world.
"It's the throne."
She said, "You alone carry the hopes of all the people of Yuheng. Just this alone, can't it be above all feelings?"
She raised her eyebrows slightly. Her tone was faint and filled with endless yearning.
"Do you know how big this world is?" She looked in a certain direction and gestured with her hands. "If you keep going north from here, you will reach a world of ice and snow. The glaciers will not melt all year round …
And if you keep going south, you will encounter large expanses of blue ocean. There are fish in the North Sea. This has never been a myth.
In Yuheng … I'm afraid not many people have seen the sea, right? "
When she said this, Kim Yoon seemed to have seen the sea from her eyes. He had never seen the sea before, but at this moment, his heart was surging with emotions. He suddenly wanted to see the legendary sea and see if it was as vast as her eyes.
"Also, on a faraway land, there are people with white skin. Their skin is as white as yours. They have blue and red eyes, and blonde and brown hair … And on another land, there are people with ink-like skin. They are born black. Isn't that amazing?"
GongYimo said softly, "You are in your position, so you have to focus on your work. Do you think that it's enough just to make the people of Yuheng rich? People are not animals in captivity. Why can't they go out and see the world? And the force that supports them to leave their homeland and head towards the unknown is not themselves, but their country.
So … you have so many things to do. Why do you want to sink into a person, a kind of feeling, a memory? "
"The reason why an emperor is an emperor is because his climb is endless." GongYimo smiled. "If you become strong, you can go out to sea with me and see the world together. Why must we be husband and wife? Big Brother Kim Yoon. "
Jin Yun knew that she was only trying to comfort him, or perhaps she was rejecting him. However, she was right. After today, he … could no longer do as he pleased. He had to shoulder a heavy responsibility, a very, very heavy responsibility ….
This was really painful.
This was also reality … He looked at GongYimo.
He did not have the power to open the sea and sky. What could he use to imprison a born eagle? Moreover, her world was much wider than he had imagined! Those white people, black people, the snow and the sea, everything that did not appear in his world existed in her world!
This was the real reason. He could not leave everything behind and leave with her. So, he would never be able to enter her world.
At this moment, someone announced that the auspicious hour had arrived. Kim Yoon should go out.
He closed his eyes. GongYimo did not disturb him until he reached out his hand to her …
GongYimo saw that he was smiling, but his smile looked like he was crying. There was an indescribable sadness.
"Once, I dreamed of holding your hand and walking to the throne with you. If we can't, I hope that the crown representing the Yuheng Emperor will be crowned by you."
GongYimo was stunned for a moment, then she smiled.
"It's my honor!"
