On seventy-three and eighty-four, the King of Hell did not invite him to go. In the seventeenth year of Guangwu reign of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hengjia obviously felt that his energy was not as good as before. He was not in a good mood either. Zhu Ruodeng, the king of Ji, was too disobedient and naughty!
He stayed in the capital and refused to become a vassal.
Just when he was worried about his second son's vassal affairs, another bad news came: Duke Yan Tianfeng of Fujian died of illness.
Yan Tianfeng was an old brother who followed him in the army in Guilin. He was one of the earliest batch of military officials who had made great achievements in the war. When he heard that he died of illness, Zhu Hengjia remained silent for a long time and left a few muddy old tears. He decreed that Yan Tianfeng be posthumously named as
The prince of Jianning County was worthy of enjoying the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and his son Yan Xiao bravely attacked the Duke of Fujian.
Then, the old emperor became gloomy. On the one hand, he was sad that he had lost an old brother, but on the other hand, he also felt that the Lord of Hell was waving to him. He did not want to die, and wanted to live for another five hundred years. However, birth, old age, illness and death naturally
As a rule, no matter how great a hero or invincible overlord is, there will be a day when he ascends to heaven.
Seeing that his father was in a bad mood, Crown Prince Zhu Ruoji was busy and often brought his eldest grandson Zhu Yixuan and his grandson Zhu Yican to greet him.
This move was taught to him by Tang Zhen. Tang Zhen said to him: "The Holy One likes the emperor's eldest grandson very much. If you want King Ji to leave Beijing and join the feudal clan as soon as possible, you must often bring the emperor's eldest grandson into the palace."
Sure enough, it is true that they are related to each other one generation apart. When the old emperor saw his two lovely grandsons, especially the clever eldest grandson Zhu Yixuan, he became more determined to prevent the Xuanwu Gate incident from happening again in the Ming Dynasty and to let King Ji become the vassal as soon as possible.
Determination.
"Wow~wow~wow~"
Zhu Yican, who had just turned one year old, cried, and Zhu Hengjia hurriedly coaxed his grandson.
"Your Majesty, Grandson Can is probably hungry and wants to drink milk. Please leave it to me," Queen Shi said with a smile.
"Well", the old emperor picked up Zhu Yican and handed it to Queen Shi. Queen Shi called the wet nurse to breastfeed the emperor's grandson.
"Grandpa Huang, can my grandson go to the Imperial Garden to play?" Zhu Yixuan, the eldest grandson of the emperor, asked jumping up and down.
"Okay, okay! Grandson Xuan wants to go to the Royal Garden, so we will go to the Royal Garden together," Zhu Hengjia said amiably. He has always responded to Zhu Yixuan's requests.
There was a noise in the imperial garden. It was Zhu Yixuan and several palace people playing. The busy government affairs made it rare for the old emperor to enjoy family happiness. He watched the young Zhu Yixuan running around in the imperial garden, chasing and playing, and his
I feel very comfortable.
Zhu Hengjia was sitting in the pavilion in the imperial garden, feeling a little tired. He closed his eyes and saw the shadows of swords flashing in the sky, the sound of galloping horse hooves echoing in his ears, and the figures of the Ming Dynasty soldiers fighting and fighting on the battlefield were looming.
What's wrong with me? Why do I keep recalling the past? The old emperor was secretly frightened.
"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Kingdom of Bangt requested an audience, and they brought two more unicorns," the chamberlain reported.
The Bunte Kingdom is located in Somalia in the Horn of Africa and is rich in spices. It is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and the main source of the Ming Dynasty's unicorns."
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson wants to see Qilin." Zhu Yixuan jumped on his lap, laughing and clamoring to see Qilin.
Who can refuse the innocent smiling face of a child? A face radiating sunshine can heal all pain and fatigue. Zhu Hengjia was infected and smiled sincerely. He was stunned for a moment and returned to reality.
"Okay, let the envoy bring the unicorn to the imperial garden so that my good grandson can see enough," he roared.
"The envoys of the Xuanbang Special Kingdom are here to meet you!"
Following the summons, several dark-skinned envoys from the Bont Kingdom entered the garden.
Ordinarily, as a time traveler, Zhu Hengjia had met African friends. Even in this time and space, he had received several envoys from the Bonte Kingdom. But today the old emperor's reaction surprised everyone. When he saw these people, his chin was shaved clean.
, her hair was cut short and she was wearing a grass skirt made of animal skin. She suddenly felt frightened and suddenly started to cry.
Yes, Emperor Guangwu, who was crying and not afraid of heaven or earth, was frightened and cried. He regarded these people as messengers from hell. Did the Lord of Hell send them to seduce me? No, no! I still have countless emperors.
If Tu Hegemony is not realized, I cannot die! I will live for another five hundred years!
However, there was no use crying. In a daze, the black envoys from the underworld continued to walk towards him, "The envoys of the Bangte Kingdom come to see His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and wish His Majesty an eternal kingdom and a long life!"

For some reason, the old emperor couldn't hear their voices at all, and howled with horror on his face: "No, I don't want to die! You can tell Lord Yama of the Tenth Palace and let me live for another five hundred years, no,
In fifty years, wait until I have flattened all the nations and unified the world before you take me away!"
"Your Majesty, the King of Hell asked you to die at the third watch. Who dares to keep you until the fifth watch? Your life is up, come with us." In a daze, I heard the messengers sneer.
"I will never agree!"
In excitement, the old emperor tilted his head and fell to the ground, saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"Quick! Doctor Xuan," Queen Shi exclaimed, and then she regained her composure and said to the envoys from the Kingdom of Bangte: "Your Majesty's dragon body is not well. Envoys, please go back to the post to rest first. Don't let anything happen today."
”.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen, I will retire." The envoy from Bangte Kingdom bowed and resigned.
After the envoys retreated, Queen Shi looked around at everyone coldly, "If anyone dares to reveal even a single word about today's events, he will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes, Your Highness the Queen", everyone responded in unison.
Empress Shi ordered the palace gate to be sealed, and sent a close friend to send a message to the Crown Prince, Chief Assistant Guan Shouzhen and others, ordering them to immediately send people to seal the post and prevent the Bangte envoys from contacting the outside world. In any case, King Ji could not be allowed to die.
The party got the news.
??
The imperial doctors came and judged that the illness was caused by fatigue and lack of sleep.
They performed acupuncture on the old emperor and fed him some drugs to refresh his mind and help him sleep. Zhu Hengjia's condition was generally stable and he fell asleep.
At the critical moment, looking at the chaff, Queen Shi served with no clothes on.
In the early morning of the next day, although he still had a low fever, Zhu Hengjia regained consciousness. He stood up and said to Queen Shi, who had been serving beside him: "I'm sorry for you, Queen, yesterday was a terrible day." He sighed, and then
He complained intentionally and said: "I'm afraid this is the worst sleep I've ever had!"
"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body and don't work too hard," Queen Shi said with concern, tears streaming down her face.
Zhu Hengjia smiled and nodded cordially, the look on his face vaguely looking like before.
Queen Shi helped the old emperor up a little, put a pillow on his back, and helped him struggle to eat something. Seeing his haggard look, her heart ached, so she forced a smile and handed him a glass of warm water.
"Drink, Your Majesty, you have just finished your meal, please bring in some water."
A smile appeared on Zhu Hengjia's pale face, but as soon as his lips touched the cup, he shook his head and said: "It's too hot!"
Queen Shi immediately brought another cup of warm water. He tasted it and said, "It's too cold!"
This time, Queen Stone was at a loss.
Zhu Hengjia calmed his breath and said with a wry smile: "Oh my god, I'm afraid no one can give me water of the right temperature??"
Mumbling, he fell asleep again and entered dreamland.
