The fat young man looked like he was seeing a ghost. He screamed and suddenly turned around. [] No ads, full text, more
Xia Xun looked at him, it was really him, Zhu Yun! He was only a dozen years old, but he seemed to have aged several dozen years, with a fat body, fat cheeks, droopy eye bags, and a rosy nose...
How did he become like this in just ten years?
The white-faced and beardless old man shouted and flashed in front of Zhu Yun, opening his arms to protect him, just like an old hen protecting her chicks. His brows were slightly wrinkled, and a solemn murderous aura surged towards him.
Xia Xun shouted sternly: "Are you sent by the Yan thieves? You are so brave, do you dare to kill the king!"
Xia Xun looked at him deeply and smiled faintly: "Old man, I admire you very much, although many people look down on people like you with incomplete limbs."
He glanced at Zhu Yun again and said: "But he is no longer the emperor, you are free, go live your own life!"
The old eunuch flushed with excitement and shouted: "That's nonsense! You are being treasonous! The king is the king, and the ministers are ministers! Our family will be the slaves of the emperor all our lives! If you dare to do anything bad to the emperor, our family will follow suit.
You fight!" At this moment, he vaguely regained some of the majesty of the 1995 Supreme.
"Ke Zhou, he is right, I... am no longer the emperor!"
"Your Majesty, you..."
Zhu Yun waved his hand, slowly took a step forward, stood in front of Xia Xun, squinted his eyes and looked at Xia Xun for a long time, and then said slowly: "I know you, I know you, you are Yang... Yang..."
Xia Xun bowed slightly and said, "Yang Xu!"
"Yes! Yang Xu! Yang Xu! After so many years, you have almost...no change..."
Xia Xun said: "Your Majesty has changed a lot."
Zhu Yun smiled miserably and said: "You don't need to call me Your Majesty. You are right. I am no longer the emperor. From the day I abandoned my wife and children and cheated my life, I was no longer the emperor!"
Xia Xun said: "Then, should I call you Mr. Ribery?"
Zhu Yun didn't answer. He looked at Xia Xun, but his eyes seemed to have drifted to a far, far away place. After a long time, he asked softly: "He became the emperor, right?"
Xia Xun replied: "Yes! He became the emperor."
Zhu Yun asked again: "My son Gui, is he... still alive?"
Xia Xun said: "While alive, he was imprisoned in Guang'an Palace, Fengyang, Dudu."
Zhu Yun's tears flowed down, and he choked with sobs: "Da Ming...are you okay?"
Xia Xun's expression moved slightly, and he replied: "Very good, the Yunnan-Guizhou region has set up official posts, the Japanese pirates in the East China Sea are no longer a thing, and the Timur Empire's army wanted to conquer our Ming Dynasty but returned without success. To the north...
The Tatars and Oaras, who had separate states within the Ming Dynasty, were defeated by His Majesty's personal conquest. The imperial court also established the Nurgandu Division in the far north.
Now, the emperor is about to move the capital to Beijing to permanently suppress the nomads in the north of Saibei to prevent their resurgence. To the south, the imperial court has sent troops to Annan to quell its rebels and restore Annan's old land to our territory. At sea, a huge fleet has also been sent to declare peace and prosperity.
The barbarians are engaged in extensive trade, and I am a pioneer."
Zhu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked urgently: "Aren't you the one he specially sent to catch me?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "The ocean-going fleet has another commander, and I, my mission is to find your whereabouts. Just looking for it all the way, I no longer believe that you are in the Western Ocean, I wanted to find a way out
, I didn’t expect that when I no longer wanted to look for you, I bumped into you, just now in the bathroom..."
Xia Xun said a few words briefly, and then the old eunuch realized that he had been careless, otherwise his emperor would probably never have been exposed. The old eunuch immediately fell to his knees, kowtowed on his head and cried: "This slave deserves to die!
This slave deserves to die! It's all my fault. Your Majesty, please kill this slave!"
Zhu Yun said in a deep voice: "Get up! This is my life, not your fault!"
Xia Xun glanced at the old eunuch, then looked at Zhu Yun, and asked: "It is said that there are no less than dozens of people escorting you. Where are those people?"
Zhu Yun did not answer. He leaned down and helped the old eunuch up first. Then he turned to Xia Xun and said sadly: "I fled all the way to Quanzhou, where I boarded a merchant ship sailing to Nanyang and fled to Srivijaya."
, lived there for a while, because there were often merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty there. I was worried about it being unsafe, so I continued walking west. This time, I arrived in Guli and settled down there.
I thought I could spend my whole life there this time, but a few years later, a businessman from Southeast Asia said that the Ming Dynasty sent a huge fleet, as huge as a floating castle on the sea. This fleet has already
After arriving in Nanwuli, it is said that we will also go to Xiaogelan, Kezhi, and Guli. I had no choice but to continue fleeing westward because I was worried that something would happen..."
Zhu Yun said sadly: "Escape, escape, finally one day, I escaped to Bosi Bay. Along the way, some of my followers died of illness, and some were swept into the sea by the wind and stayed with me.
There were less than ten people left. I didn’t dare to continue walking along the sea road. God knows if there would be a storm and we would all disappear into the sea?
I thought that even if the Ming Dynasty's fleet came to search for me, they would not be able to abandon so many warships and board the land to search for me very far away, so we abandoned the ship and landed, and kept moving forward.
When I got here, there were only a few people around me due to injuries and bandits along the way.
When I came to this place, there were only four people left with me, one of whom later died of illness. The people here told me that if I go further, there is an endless sea, and no one has ever been able to reach it.
At the end of it, no one has ever seen a ship coming from the end of the sea. I think this is the end of the horizon..."
Xia Xun asked: "Luo Kedi..., he really arranged it like this!"
Zhu Yun looked at him in surprise, and Xia Xun smiled with some relief: "You actually know how to cover up for him? Haha, you have really changed a lot in the past few years. You don't have to worry about him anymore. When the city is broken, Luo
Your Excellency took poison and committed suicide. He has been dead for many years, so you don’t have to worry about what he will be implicated in."
A flash of shame flashed across Zhu Yun's face. How many people have died for his country? Those martyred ministers and generals, and the countless unknown soldiers who died on the battlefield, whose names are not passed down to the world...
But he, the emperor, was living an ignoble existence, abandoning his loyal ministers, his married wife, and his own son. He said: "I'm right here, just kill me! They were just ordered to escort me."
People, do you want to kill them all?"
When the old eunuch heard this, he got up again and guarded him nervously.
Xia Xun shook his head and said: "I'm just curious, why is there only one person left around you, and the other two have abandoned you?"
Zhu Yun's face suddenly turned red: "You are talking nonsense! They are loyal to me and will not tolerate you insulting me like this! I have gone through many ups and downs all the way to the west. The money I carried was either spent, lost, or robbed by bandits.
When we got here, there wasn't much left, and they didn't want to follow me and live in vain.
Except for the old man Ke Zhou, who stayed with me to take care of me, the other two protected me for a while. After finding that there was no danger here, they went to fend for themselves. However, they would come to me every New Year and respect me as always.
!They are our loyal ministers and righteous soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"
Xia Xun said: "I apologize! Although the positions are different, such people are very admirable!" He looked around and said: "The environment here is not bad. You also married a beautiful French bride and gave birth to a child.
A pair of daughters. But, why do you age so fast?"
Zhu Yun's cheeks twitched a few times, and he said painfully: "Because I have been living in guilt, because I often have nightmares. I have been told all along that I will be the future emperor, the crown prince of the country, and everything in the world."
All the people are my subjects, and it is natural for me to stand at the highest place and look down at them, and enjoy their dedication with peace of mind.
Including my queen and my prince, I think it is right for anyone to die for me. Everyone can die, but I cannot, because... I am the emperor, and God has given me a special mission.
Life doesn’t just belong to me! But when I fled all the way to Nanyang, and then all the way west, I began to wonder, was my idea right?
If I hadn't put on that dragon robe and sat in the Golden Palace, what would be the difference between me and an ordinary person? Why could I let so many people die for me? I often dreamed about them, mother and son, if I hadn't been timid at the time
Instead of running away and facing King Yan bravely, will their mother and son still die?
Fourth uncle does not dare to openly kill the king. Even if he uses some methods to get rid of me, in order to cover up others' eyes and show his innocence, he will treat my wife and children well, at least... he will not let them die. But I..."
Zhu Yun's eyes were shining with tears and he sighed: "I lit the fire and said I would die for my country. In the end, it was my wife and my biological son who were pushed into the pit of fire, and I...
But he ran away shamelessly!
If I had not fled shamelessly, these people who were loyal to me would not have abandoned their wives and children and given up everything to escort me west. They would not have to be buried in a foreign country one by one. I often have nightmares, and I will dream about them.
I can only drink, keep drinking, only then can I sleep."
The old eunuch shed tears as he listened, but Xia Xun was silent. After Zhu Yun finished speaking, he pushed the old eunuch away again and took one step, two steps, three steps forward, slowly but firmly, until he stood at Xia Xun's side.
In front of him: "Ke Zhou is old. He is just a useless eunuch. Don't kill him!"
Zhu Yun turned around and glanced at his wife again. From that look, Xia Xun knew that Zhu Yun's French wife should know his true identity, so she understood why he was an uninvited guest, so she showed worry and concern.
fear.
Zhu Yun smiled at her, then reluctantly looked at his daughter, turned to face Xia Xun, and begged: "My wife is just an ignorant country girl. When you are here, my daughter will grow up."
None of them look like people from the Ming Dynasty. My daughter has blond hair and my son has blue eyes. No one from the Ming Dynasty would regard them as the blood of the Ming Emperor! They pose no threat to my fourth uncle...
!”
Zhu Yun took a long breath and said seriously: "In the face of the country and life and death, I chose to escape! In the face of my family and life and death, I still chose to escape! For this reason, I have suffered from regret for many years. Now.
, you are here, I will no longer run away, I am willing to suffer death, I just ask you... let them go!"
Zhu Yun's legs flexed and he knelt down with a thud!
