Chapter six hundred and eighty seventh emperor's grace [1 more]
After listening to Chen Ming's words, many people showed a look of understanding on their faces. What kind of miraculous effects the heavenly essence and blood in Zhu Houzhao's hands had can be known just by looking at the changes on Qin An's body.
Perhaps some young officials among the hundreds of civil and military officials present were not so eager for the powerful essence and blood that could prolong life and even rejuvenate youth. However, among the many officials present, the majority were elderly.
Although Chen Ding was a representative among many officials, when Chen Ming spoke, everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao.
Although they don't know how precious the powerful essence and blood is, just based on the efficacy of this powerful essence and blood, a fool can imagine that this is definitely not an ordinary treasure.
If these officials knew that even the direct descendants of the mighty might not be able to enjoy such great power's essence and blood, they would probably understand how precious the great power's blood is.
But at this moment, everyone was looking at Zhu Houzhao to see what kind of reaction Zhu Houzhao would have.
Chen Ding definitely made a great contribution to the Ming Dynasty. He worked conscientiously throughout his life and was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs for the Ming Dynasty for decades. He was an upright person, but he was as honest as water. Even the official position of his son Chen Ming was considered by Zhu Houzhao.
Chen Ding was rewarded by decree for his meritorious service.
Originally, with Chen Ding's position in the court, if he wanted to, he could easily seek some official positions for Chen Ming, and there was no need to wait for the emperor to specifically issue an edict.
Therefore, Chen Ding has made great contributions to the country. Now Chen Ding is about to die, but the powerful essence and blood in Zhu Houzhao's hands can make Chen Ding rejuvenate and regain his youth. It depends on whether the emperor is willing to give such precious powerful essence and blood to Chen Ding.
The tripod is broken.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Chen Ming, and without the slightest hesitation, nodded to Wang Zheng beside him and said: "Wang Zheng, go ahead and invite Mr. Chen here!"
Wang Zheng nodded and walked towards the bottom of the altar in an erratic manner.
The surrounding civil and military ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this situation, and many people showed joy on their faces.
It can be seen that the emperor is probably preparing to bestow Chen Ding with powerful essence and blood. Otherwise, the emperor would not have sent someone to bring Chen Ding.
Since the Emperor can bestow powerful essence and blood on Chen Ding, do they also have the opportunity to receive the Emperor's reward?
You must know that among the many civil and military officials present, not to mention others, such as Zhu Fu, Xu Guangzha and other old princes, they are all in an old state, and it seems that they don't have a few years left to live.
Just like the British Duke Zhang Mao of the previous generation, Zhang Mao lived for more than eighty years and can be said to be a longevity person.
However, Zhang Mao could not hold on after all, and died on the bed of old age. If Zhang Mao could survive until now, if a drop of the powerful essence blood were given, would he be able to rejuvenate like Qin An?
Zhang Mao is dead, but Zhu Fu and Xu Guangzha are still alive.
At this moment, looking at the jade bottle in the emperor's hand, Zhu Fu, Xu Guangzhao and others' eyes flashed with strange looks, and they made up their minds to ask the emperor to give them powerful essence and blood no matter what.
At some point, a chamberlain brought the dragon chair up, and Zhu Houzhao offered sacrifices to the sky. After some unexpected events, he stood on the altar for most of the day, and now he was naturally a little exhausted.
Zhu Houzhao, who sat down, looked at the civil and military personnel around him, then looked at Chu Yi beside him, feeling infinite joy in his heart.
His long-held goal was finally achieved, but he himself did not expect that everything would go so smoothly. Although there were many crises after his ascension, he reunited with Chu Yi without much effort. This made Zhu Houzhao feel that what he had done before
Everything is worth it.
Seeing Chu Yi standing aside, Zhu Houzhao immediately ordered people to prepare seats for Chu Yi. The two seats were placed side by side. Obviously, Zhu Houzhao was using his actual actions to show everyone that his previous words were not meant to be a lie.
gesture, but really wanted to share the entire Ming Dynasty with Chu Yi.
Amid everyone's envious gazes, Chu Yi sat aside. The two of them sat side by side. In the gaze of everyone, they looked so harmonious and natural. Chu Yi's temperament was not suppressed even in front of Zhu Houzhao's brilliant imperial aura.
Under the sky, it is like the sun and the moon shining together.
After a while, two lithe chamberlains behind Wang Zheng came over carrying a stretcher, and on top of the stretcher was Chen Ding, who was stooped and extremely old.
Compared with his previous high spirits, within a short period of time, Chen Ding's whole body seemed to have collapsed, and he looked like he might run out of energy at any time.
Chen Ding was lying on the stretcher and was gently placed on the ground. At this moment, Chen Ding struggled to get up and salute Zhu Houzhao, but was stopped by Zhu Houzhao.
Looking at Chen Ding, Zhu Houzhao nodded towards Chu Yi, and the two of them stood up and walked to Chen Ding.
Chu Yi looked at the old Chen Ding and sighed in his heart. Chen Ding was very difficult to deal with back then. Among the hundreds of officials, few officials dared to disobey him, but Chen Ding was one of them.
One thing I have to admit is that Chen Ding's ability is very strong. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom, there are really not many officials like him.
Chen Ding was like a very qualified housekeeper, taking care of every penny in the treasury for Ming Dynasty.
With Chen Ding in charge of the household department, the emperor and all the officials felt very relieved.
At this moment, Chen Ding's turbid eyes fell on Chu Yi, who was helping him up. Although Chen Ding said that his body and bones were failing, there was nothing wrong with his head. When he saw Chu Yi clearly, he was naturally stunned. He was so skinny.
His big hand subconsciously grabbed Chu Yi and gasped: "Big...big manager, is it really you?"
Chu Yi patted Chen Ding's hand, nodded slowly and said: "Master Chen, I never thought that you and I would meet each other under such circumstances."
Chen Ding grabbed Chu Yi's arm, stared at Chu Yi, and said tremblingly: "I want to apologize to the general manager for questioning the general manager back then. If it weren't for the insistence of the former general manager, I, Ming, would never have done it.
Today’s grand occasion.”
Everyone present knew that Chen Ding almost never admitted his mistakes in his life. It was not that Chen Ding knew his mistakes and never corrected them, but that he rarely made mistakes in major matters of right and wrong in his life.
When Chu Yi insisted on opening the sea, although Chen Ding said he did not oppose it with all his strength, he still held opposing views.
But facts have proven that Chu Yi's persistence was right. The Ming Dynasty is what it is today, and it is indeed all thanks to Chu Yi's contribution.
Chen Ding himself was at the end of his life. Now he suddenly saw Chu Yi and said what he had been holding in his heart for a long time. However, it took a lot of Chen Ding's energy and he was about to be unable to support himself.
Already.
Zhu Houzhao quickly handed the jade bottle to Chu Yi and said: "Save Mr. Chen quickly!"
Chu Yi took the jade bottle from Zhu Houzhao's hand, and his eyes fell on Chen Ding. He stretched out his hand and saw a drop of bright red blood like red clouds flying out of the jade bottle.
Chu Yi stretched out his hand and pushed, and saw the drop of powerful essence and blood sinking into Chen Ding's mouth.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Ding. Although everyone said they saw Qin An rejuvenate, they all looked at Chen Ding with expectation.
Chen Ding is different from Qin An. Qin An is a cultivator. Everyone can accept that he can rejuvenate himself after receiving the powerful essence and blood. However, everyone is worried about whether Chen Ding can be rejuvenated like Qin An. After all, Chen Ding is not a cultivator.
If the blood essence is only effective for cultivators, wouldn't it mean that many of them have no hope of extending their lives?
Under the attention of everyone, Chen Ding, who had a drop of powerful blood essence transferred into his mouth by Chu Yi, felt a warm breath permeate his whole body, and his whole body seemed to have returned to his mother's womb in an instant.
The feeling of comfort deep in the soul makes people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.
Chen Ding's body was undergoing drastic changes, and everyone looked at Chen Ding with wide eyes. In addition, Chen Ding's face, which was originally like dry tree bark, and even his exposed veteran hands were undergoing earth-shaking changes.
If Chen Ding was as shriveled as a mummy just now, now Chen Ding seems to have been injected with moisture, and his whole body is becoming younger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, as the majestic life essence contained in the powerful essence and blood was completely integrated into Chen Ding's body, Chen Ding had changed from a state of exhaustion to a person who looked no more than thirty years old.
Youthful appearance.
Um!
A low groan came from Chen Ding's mouth, and Chen Ding, who had been immersed in the infinite peace and tranquility of absorbing the essence and blood of the powerful, slowly came back to his senses.
Hearing the familiar sound of crying, Chen Ding could not help but frown, and shouted subconsciously: "Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet!"
Chen Ming watched his father become younger, and he couldn't help crying with excitement.
Suddenly hearing Chen Ding's angry roar, Chen Ming couldn't help wiping away the tears on his face with joy, and kowtowed to the emperor and Chu Yi: "Chen Ming thanks your majesty, thanks your highness King Wu..."
…”
Chen Ding was the backbone of the Chen family, and their brothers were self-aware. With their ability, they were able to obtain this official position in the court. In the final analysis, the emperor wanted to take credit for Chen Ding.
If the emperor hadn't thought of Chen Ding's contribution, how could their brothers have the glory they have today.
But the principle of people taking tea to cool down is completely normal in the officialdom. Maybe one year, two years, three years or five years, the emperor can remember Chen Ding's contribution and treat them preferentially, but it has been a long time.
Once time passes, the emperor will one day no longer value them because of Chen Ding, and then the Chen family will go downhill.
Because of this, when Chen Ming saw Chu Yi transforming the Green Rhinoceros Celestial Lotus into the powerful essence and blood, and when so many people had a peep at the powerful essence and blood, he stood up without hesitation.
On the one hand, Chen Ming is a filial man, but whenever there is a glimmer of hope, he hopes that his father can live longer.
If this were not the case, in that situation, no one would be the first to stand up and plead with the emperor to give him powerful essence and blood.
Turning over, Chen Ding was shocked to find that he could get up easily. You must know that it was very difficult for him to even move before, but now he felt as if he could kill a tiger with a punch.
Looking down subconsciously, Chen Ding was shocked. What was going on? Why did his hands and legs change.
"I...what's wrong with me!"
Everyone looked at Chen Ding's shocked look, with infinite envy in their eyes.
Just now, Chen Ding really looked like he might not be able to hold on any longer, but with a drop of powerful blood, Chen Ding suddenly became more energetic. Such magical changes made countless people full of excitement.
Looking expectantly at the jade bottle in Chu Yi's hand.
There are no less than a dozen drops of the essence and blood of the great power in the jade bottle. If the great power can ask the emperor to give a drop!
Chu Yi patted Chen Ding on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Congratulations to Mr. Chen for returning to old age and regaining his youth."
Chen Ding, who was a little confused, finally understood what happened after his son Chen Ming's explanation.
Chen Ding never dreamed that he could be rejuvenated. You must know that when he saw Chu Yi, he personally apologized to Chu Yi. He was already facing death calmly, because he felt that his end was approaching, and he could only take an hour or three at most.
.
But who would have thought that he would regain his youth all of a sudden now.
However, no matter how old-fashioned and pedantic Chen Ding is, he is not a fool. How could he not know how powerful the emperor's favor is.
They saw Chen Ding bowing to Zhu Houzhao and bowing to the ground: "My lord, Chen Ding, would like to thank your majesty. Your majesty's kindness is so great that it is hard for me to repay your majesty even if I am shattered to pieces!"
Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand to help Chen Ding up, and said with a chuckle: "Master Chen, there is no need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, then thank Chu Yi."
Chen Ding reacted and saluted Chu Yi: "Chen Ding thanks His Highness King Wu!"
The civil and military officials were naturally very happy at this happy scene. Although many people died not long ago because of Wuliang Old Man and Green Rhinoceros Celestial being, they thought that it was because of the essence and blood of Celestial beings that the kind of
atmosphere.
Although many civil and military officials did not speak at this moment, all fools knew that everyone was eyeing the remaining powerful essence and blood in Zhu Houzhao's hands.
"Go back to the palace!"
Although the series of changes were quite exciting, at this moment, a large number of civil and military officials gathered around the emperor and Chu Yi to return to the capital.
On the carriage, Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao sat side by side.
Needless to say, after the Emperor Luan drove, it was natural for the Queen and the Prince's carriages, but the carriages of the two were one step behind.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi and said with a bit of joy: "Big companion, I really had a hard time looking for you!"
The flow of time between the Ming world and this world is different. Although Chu Yi only returned from the Ming world for a few days, so many years have passed in the Ming world.
