emperor becomes prince

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Seeing Zhu Di's uncertain expression, the people below asked cautiously.

Zhu Di pursed his thin lips, and suddenly burst out a word with deep meaning, the voice was long and long, but it made the person kneeling below him feel chilly to the bottom of his heart.

"Are they still there?"

——Jin is still there?

Because of this sentence, a generation of talented Xie Jin was buried in the cold wind and snow outside the prison.

——Ping Baoer is still alive?

Because of this short number, Ping An, who had only emerged in the midst of Jing Nan, lost his life.

Except for Zhu Di's cronies, no one can understand what kind of murderous intent is hidden behind these seemingly ordinary words.

Seeing the bewildered and confused expression of his subordinates in front of him, Zhu Di felt a flash of disappointment, but his mind was unprecedentedly sober.

After all, it was not his time.Naturally, it was not the era of Kangxi either.

That day, he won the Qing Dynasty with a breath of blood and unwillingness in his chest, but no matter how many things he did, no matter what he did in this life, he will eventually be remembered by the world as "Aixinjueluo".Thinking of the desolate figure on the isolated island, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.The Zhu family, the Aixinjueluo family; the former Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, who won the fight?

Looking at the top of the Forbidden City, although once again boarded the dragon chair, the state of mind is no longer the same as before.

It's not that the pride is no longer there, it's just that looking back, my heart has changed.

At the end of this year, the winter snow is flying, and the city is full of green.

It was extremely cold.

"It's a new year, the Supreme Emperor." An old eunuch walked out of the quiet room. He was an old man who had served Kangxi before. His surname was He. It's much better to have a sour eunuch at the helm.

Since he learned the bad news last year, Kangxi fainted on the spot and couldn't get sick.After the new emperor learned about this, he repatriated Yingying Yanyan who had come from the palace, leaving only half of the usual staff guarding the door. is never short.

He was pointed out at that time.

After staying in the palace for so many years, he also thinks that he is sober in seeing things.When he is old, he doesn't fight for the glory and wealth, nor is he greedy for fame and fortune. He does what his superiors order him to do, and he does it with all his heart.

Now around Kangxi, he is the only one who can speak a few words.As for the rest, Kangxi would never let them get close.

"Old He—" In the eaves of the window with burning candles, a thin and thin figure trembling was faintly seen, as if unable to bear the overwhelming cold.There was a quick and fierce coughing sound, as if he wanted to cough up his heart and lungs.

For some reason, Eunuch He felt an ominous feeling in his heart. He trembled all over his body. He trotted forward and called out repeatedly: "This old slave is coming, this old slave is coming!" Messy thoughts.

Kangxi was lying quietly on the bed. At this time, he had been lingering on the sick bed for several months. His youthful and majestic face, which had been properly maintained before, was now so thin that only skin and bones remained, inlaid with a pair of mighty At this time, the eye sockets of both eyes also seemed to have exhausted the energy of a lifetime, sinking deeply.

Seeing the thick shadow over the eye sockets of the emperor who had been so beautiful in the past, old eunuch He couldn't help but sigh.But he didn't say anything, he just brought a cup of black medicine to Kangxi and reminded him: "Master, it's time to take medicine..."

……

……

Today, in this cold season, Yingtai ushered in an unexpected distinguished guest.

Seeing the people in casual clothes led by the chief guard all the way in, Eunuch He seemed to dazzle his old eyes and wiped them vigorously.

"emperor?"

Zhu Di nodded to him, his brows were tightened, as if he didn't want to say more.

The head guard at the side spoke up: "The emperor is here to visit the Supreme Emperor, how is the Supreme Emperor's condition now, can you take a rest?"

This question was naturally asked for Zhu Di.

"Just took a rest." Eunuch He wiped the cold sweat from his nose, and said hesitantly, "The Supreme Emperor is in better spirits today than yesterday, but the imperial doctor said... Hey, would you like to visit him personally?" ?”

Zhu Di glanced at him lightly, and walked in.

Behind him, Eunuch He looked at the figure that was gradually disappearing in front of him from a distance, rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, and then said in a low voice: "The imperial doctor said that the Supreme Emperor does not have much time. Since that serious illness Afterwards, my body collapsed completely, and I was just waiting for time. Now, looking at the emperor's appearance, it seems that I don't want to ignore the emperor. Hey, if I knew this, why did I do it in the first place? Well, this is not an old man and a slave The only thing that can be cared about is that the Supreme Emperor has served the country all his life, and the sky is full of Bodhisattvas, gods and Buddhas, at least let him go in peace."

"You came."

Not interrogative sentences, but faint declarative sentences.

Kangxi was lying on the bed, as if he had guessed that Zhu Di would come.

Looking at the almost unrecognizable person on the bed, Zhu Di felt suffocated, as if a huge stone was blocked in his chest.

"You don't ask me why I came here?"

Zhu Di's clear eyes echoed on Kangxi's thin face, and there was a touch of tenderness in his tone that he himself hadn't noticed.

Kangxi slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, his previous lethargy was swept away, and the eyes that were shining with light were so bright that it penetrated people.

"You and I are both smart people, why bother with these pretense?"

Kangxi suddenly felt some strength and sat up.

Those eyes reminded Zhu Di of the scene when he first met Kangxi.At that time, Kangxi was full of joy and joy when he faced the lost and recovered "Prince", and his eyes were almost full of joy in the world.

It's just that at that time, there were still scruples between each other, and there were still guards against each other in their hearts, so they were not as pure as they are now.

Zhu Di looked at Kangxi at this time, inexplicably, a kind of extreme sadness mixed with extreme joy rose from the bottom of his heart. He stretched out his arms and embraced the dying old man into his arms, feeling the pain in his body. The piercing chill came, and miraculously, his mood, which had been turbulent for a long time, calmed down.

At this time, they are like friends who have not seen each other for many years. After going through the vicissitudes of life, there is a detached atmosphere between them.

They quietly absorb the body temperature of each other, that is, across ages, powers, and dynasties...even... across countries and families.

A moment becomes eternity.

Zhu Di's hand was in Kangxi's hair, and his eyes were softer than ever. At this moment, they were as sincere as newborn babies, and they pulled off their huge masks to each other.

"You shouldn't come, and I shouldn't let you in..."

"But I'm coming, and you didn't stop me." Zhu Di put one hand on Kangxi's cheek, and slowly combed the hair on his head with the other.

"It's a mistake..."

"But I'm happy with it."

Kangxi raised his head with some difficulty, and twitched the corner of his mouth to show a barely visible smile, "When did you think so much about me?"

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, and retorted unceremoniously: "Should I ask you this? Xuan Ye, you can really shirk 'guilty'!"

Kangxi buried his head in Zhu Di's arms, took a deep breath, and suddenly said: "I will never forget the hatred of my sons. So, Zhu Di, if there is an afterlife, if I see you again, I will kill you."

"I will never forget the Zhu family's enmity. Therefore, if we meet again, you don't want to escape. Even if I chase you to the ends of the earth, I will not let you go."

This is an agreement, right?A promise of fate?

Kangxi listened silently, and suddenly seemed extremely tired, and said to Zhu Di: "I'll sleep for a while, don't wake me up..."

……

……

The wind and snow blew away the fallen plum branches, turning them into mud and dust.

Zhu Di silently picked up Kangxi, got up and opened the door, ignoring the surprised eyes of Eunuch He and others outside the door, as if lost his soul, stepped into the Meilin with deep and shallow steps.

The flying snow quickly hit the corners of his hair and eyebrows, and gradually turned into water droplets and fell down.The chief guard looked anxious, and tried to step forward several times, but was dissuaded by senior seniors here, who silently shook their heads at him.

They just watched from a distance like this, looking at the dots of sparkle on the emperor's cheek in the distance...

Xuan Ye, you know, if it wasn't for your dying time, no matter how urgent I was, I wouldn't have come to see you.

Love is too fragile, but hatred is too heavy. We have been looking for the balance point, but we can't find it everywhere, and we return empty-handed.

So - if there is an afterlife, if there is an afterlife, I hope we are not enemies, not lovers, but comrades in arms.

We stand side by side, from ancient times to prehistoric times, we fight side by side, from hell to heaven...

The author has something to say: I feel a little guilty about writing this kind of plot during the Chinese New Year.

The next chapter should be the finale, not counting extra words.

Happy New Year to the followers here, although I don’t know how many followers are still reading my articles, but it is because of your support that I can come to this point.Thank you all!

& after it's all over, before it all begins

Kangxi felt light all over his body, shedding the heavy skin of his body, and felt indescribably comfortable all over his body.

Consciousness was ups and downs in the sea of ​​illusion, and gradually, he came to nowhere.

In front of him was a chaotic world, fighting and shouting, and he was alone, isolated from the world.He just watched quietly, and gradually figured out some clues...

Three years to Zhengzheng...

"Hey, Zhu Si, your father is dating Chen Youliang again, and he won't be able to take care of you then, let's run away!"

The child tugged at another boy next to him.

The child known as "Zhu Si" pursed his mouth tightly. He was only three years old, but he looked fearless.His father Zhu Chongba went out to fight again, and he hadn't seen him much since he was born, and he didn't even have his own name yet, but this didn't hinder his admiration for his father.

Because, father is a hero!

"I want to learn swords too! One day, I will drive out all those who bully me!"

The child stared blankly at Zhu Qi's bright eyes, as if countless stars in the universe had fallen. At that moment, he didn't know what infected him, and he shouted loudly: "Okay, I'll do it with you!"

Zhu Si didn't say anything, just patted the child's shoulder like a little adult, and the child touched his nose embarrassedly, and they became brothers from then on.

Next, Hongdu's miracle, the navy of Poyang Lake, confronted Zhang Shicheng's destruction of Beiyuan, and the defeat continued...

Kangxi, who was a bystander, thought that he already understood what kind of place he had reached.

And he is still just a wandering soul, without body, shell, and sustenance, all he can do is to take all the joys and sorrows in this world into his eyes.

But he didn't know when it started, but his eyes habitually followed that child, Zhu Si.

In the seventh year of Zhizheng, the turbulent situation gradually calmed down, and Zhu Si also had his own name, Zhu Di.

Seeing the stubborn little Zhu Di wielding a knife and a gun and getting knocked down again and again, Kangxi felt a softness in his heart.

It was obviously still such a weak body, but he couldn't help but believe that there were countless powers hidden in it...

The founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, Zhu Biao was crowned prince, Zhu Di was crowned king of Yan, military generals gathered, cups of wine were intertwined, for a while, it was hard to tell whether it was a dream or reality.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, Zhu Di set out from the fiefdom of Beiping and started the first battle of great significance in his life.

The child who followed Zhu Di earlier disappeared because he got separated later, but Kangxi could see clearly that the dirty child had now grown into a young man and returned to Zhu Di's army with great difficulty. Just a minion.

And this little soldier unfortunately died in the fight between Zhu Di and the Xiaogu Yuan army...

Looking at the cold corpse lying on the ground, Kangxi felt an inexplicable heat all over his body.The powerful suction sucked him in, and his cold body and his scorching soul gradually merged into one.

The feeling of regaining his life made him so excited that he wanted to cry, and what made his mind flutter even more was the person riding the horse on his opponent.

That name, this little soldier had been tossed and turned countless times in his heart, but he couldn't say it out.

He had tossed and thought about that noun countless times in his mind, but forcibly suppressed his excitement and chose to remain silent.

Although he knew in his heart that the person in front of him was no longer the person he had thought at the beginning, but he still stubbornly wanted to prove something.

"Zhu Di!!!!!!!!!"

While galloping wildly, he shouted the name loudly, and under the setting sun, the black-haired figure was slowly turning around...

The author has something to say: the more important side story, Comrade Zhu Zhanji's side story, will explain some of the follow-up of the empire.

The original version of Yinreng's special episode, add some JQ...

Cough, well, Wa admits that Wa's Wen Qingshui, it can be regarded as compensation, we accept it with a smile.
