Chapter 225 Yingying, You Become the Imperial Teacher

"There is no emperor?" Liu Xiu was suddenly stunned. "Brother Wang, what do you mean by that?"

"That's exactly what it means. You've been to the future too. Did we still have emperors in our time?"

"Indeed not." Liu Xiu shook his head.

"Then have you ever thought about why there are no emperors in later generations?"

"This..." Liu Xiu was stunned by Wang Mang's question and was speechless for a long time.

"Yes, I never thought about why there is no emperor after two thousand years. Brother Wang, Miss Su, do you know why?"

"I remember the history books said that the feudal monarchy was eliminated because it was not adapted to social development," said Su Jiahe.

"That's right, but why can't the emperor adapt to society?" Wang Mang continued to ask.

"Because the West experienced the Industrial Revolution and rapid technological development, they colonized and invaded the Xia Kingdom. To save the nation, the Xia people overthrew the emperor and adopted the new systems and ideas of the West. That's probably how it is. I'm not very good at history either."

"Jiahe is right, but ultimately, it's because productivity determines production relations. As productivity advances, the existing social system must change, otherwise it will become an obstacle to progress."

"What is all this?" Yin Lihua was confused.

"I think I understand," Liu Xiu said, putting down his wine glass. "What your brother is saying is that although technology may be advanced in later generations, advanced technology cannot coexist with the emperor. If there is an emperor, we will never reach the technological level of later generations."

"Xiu'er, your summary is correct." Wang Mang nodded.

"Ah, will there be a day when there is no emperor in the world?" Yin Lihua looked incredulous.

"Yes, there were indeed no emperors in later generations, and the people did not have to kowtow when they saw officials. It was a very strange world." Liu Xiu lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

"But if there is no emperor, wouldn't the world be in chaos?" Yin Lihua still couldn't understand.

"Queen Yin, although we don't have an emperor in later generations, we have our own order and laws. No matter how society changes, there will be a set of corresponding rules." Su Jiahe said.

"Alas, since there will be no emperor in future generations, will I no longer be able to be the emperor in a few decades?" Liu Xiu suddenly said.

"Xiu'er, according to the original history, you would have died of illness in your early fifties, but with the improvement of medical technology, maybe you can really live for a few more decades and see that day."

"If it is true as you said, and one day in the future the emperor is eliminated, how should I deal with it?" Liu Xiu looked at Wang Mang with a very calm tone.

"This... I haven't actually thought about this question. I have traveled through several dynasties before and helped them develop modern technology, but I only suddenly thought of this question recently." Wang Mang looked a little embarrassed.

"Oh no, I don't think I've thought about this question."

Su Jiahe didn't know how Liu Xiu would deal with the contradiction between technology and the imperial system in the future, nor did he know what Ying Zheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Di, Li Shimin, Lanling King and Li Qingzhao did in the end.

Liu Xiu was silent for a while, and finally spoke slowly again.

"Brother Wang, I have another question."

"Xiu'er, ask."

"Did the last emperor of Xia feel that he was hindering the productivity you mentioned and voluntarily abdicated?"

"You must be joking. He has no such awareness. He was kicked out of the palace."

"That's it. If that day really comes, whether I will continue to be the emperor or not is not up to me to decide." Liu Xiu couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty, do you want to continue studying those books from later generations that you brought back?" Yin Lihua looked at Liu Xiu and asked in a low voice.

"I don't want to be kicked out," Liu Xiu said, pouring himself another cup of wine and drinking it all in one gulp. "But life in later generations is really good."

After hearing what Liu Xiu said, Yin Lihua stopped talking and just silently picked up some food for Liu Xiu.

"Brother Wang, I think we should not discuss this topic anymore. Everyone has their own choices." Su Jiahe patted Wang Mang gently.

Su Jiahe did everything he could to help every ancient person he met. However, history has its own destiny, and no one can interfere with its direction.

"Today is my birthday, Brother Wang, let's have another drink." Liu Xiu raised his glass, and his expression suddenly became a lot more relaxed.

"Okay, okay, I wish Xiu'er a happy birthday, a long life, and many descendants." Wang Mang also raised his glass.

Just after the first month of the lunar year, Su Jiahe received a system notification.

【ding dong】

[Congratulations, the traveler has completed the system mission of the Eastern Han Dynasty plane]

[From now on, the time limit for the Time Document to travel through time has been increased to 3000 years, and the number of people who can travel through time has been increased to ten]

[The host can choose to go back or stay, but the maximum stay cannot exceed seven years]

"Brother Wang, the mission is complete. Do you want to go back?"

"Ah, the mission is over so quickly. I wanted to spend more time with Xiuer."

“Sister Su, if you miss home, you should go back first. The girls’ school has only been open for two years. If I go back now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find a successor for a while. Besides, I can’t bear to leave these students,” He Shuangqing said.

"Qingqing, how could I leave you all behind and go back by myself? I was just asking if you wanted to go back."

“If you want to stay, I won’t go back either,” Wang Mang said decisively, shaking his head.

“I’m not going back either. Sister Deng just gave me a new task: to be the Emperor’s teacher,” Yingying said from the side.

"What? Yingying, you've become the Imperial Tutor?" Su Jiahe asked in surprise.

"Sister Deng said that she had invited many teachers for the Emperor before, but the Emperor would not listen to what those old men said. I am about the same age as the Emperor, so maybe the effect will be better."

"Our Yingying is amazing, she can be the emperor's teacher!"

Wang Mang was overjoyed and reached out to pick up Yingying, but Yingying dodged away.

"Yingying, why won't you let Grandpa hold you?"

"Brother Wang, Yingying is a young lady now," Su Jiahe whispered a reminder.

Yingying was originally seven years old. Considering the two years she spent in the Northern Qi Dynasty and the two years she spent in the Eastern Han Dynasty, she was actually about twelve years old.

“Look, I’m with Yingying every day, and I’ve forgotten that she’s grown up.”

"Your Majesty, shall we go back?" Yin Lihua asked Liu Xiu.

"Let's stay a few more years. It'll be a good opportunity for Zhuang'er to learn more about governing the country and gain some experience."

"But in a few years, when we're all old men and women, will Zhuang'er still recognize us?"

“Empress Yin, you don’t need to worry about this,” Su Jiahe said. “You came from another plane. A year here is only a day there. When you go back, you will still be the same as before you came here.”

"Oh, I see." Yin Lihua said incredulously, "Then I'm relieved. We've only been away from Zhuang'er for three days."
