Although Chen Cheng has repeatedly stated that there is no god in this world, his own existence is the most favorable refutation of this sentence. Decades have passed, and the ministers in the court have changed several times, but he still maintains his physical youth. Over the years, because he no longer participated in the war, his body has lost a little, he is no longer so oppressive, and his hard face has become a little softer.

However, his appearance has not completely changed back, but his body size is not so exaggerated.

The crown prince Liu Sheng was already in his sixties at this time, and his adviser Sima Yi was in his eighties. The two looked at each other in the main hall without saying a word, and after a long time, Sima Yi, who was old and long-looking, arched his hand towards Liu Sheng and said, "The minister will not be able to serve His Highness in the future." ”

Ten days ago, Sima Yi's body, which had always been healthy and had never been sick, had deteriorated sharply, and his original ruddy face had become what it should have been in a few days. At that time, Sima Yi knew that his time had come. This kind of thing has happened many times, and many people know the secret.

Those who have been reused by the emperor will always maintain abundant physical strength and vigorous energy without illness and disaster, and even if they are old, there will be no change. It is only when it is time to die that the body ages rapidly. Now that such a situation has occurred, Sima Yi knows that his death is near.

Chen Sheng has short hair and a three-inch-long beard on his chin, and he looks powerful and powerful, not at all like an old man in his sixties. His expression was a little sad, and he said: "I originally thought that with Zhongda's assistance, I would definitely be able to achieve a great cause, but who would have thought that the Tao would be such a result? ”

Sima Yi is also very helpless, he has lived long enough, and has survived Yan Zhong, Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others, but it is useless for him to live so long, and the emperor himself still looks no different from before. He once thought that the emperor himself would be like Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng, whose body would suddenly decay and then die quickly.

However, all the old acquaintances were dead, and the emperor still went about hunting every day, and there was no sign of decay.

Sima Yi sighed and said to the crown prince Liu Sheng: "Your Majesty is not a mortal, the prince should not think too much." ”

Liu Sheng lamented: "Is there a sixty-year-old prince in the world? ”

"Be careful, be careful!"

Sima Yi waved his hand and said, "I'm going back to prepare for the future, and the prince will have to come and go by himself." ”

Liu Shengxiong is superior in martial arts, and his resourcefulness is far beyond ordinary people, and he even thinks that if he was born twenty years early, he would even ....... But no matter how superb his martial arts are, no matter how good his learning is, others still only regard him as the crown prince. Many of his brothers have been divided into Americas, India and Europe, and become the rulers of a country, but he has been waiting, but he does not know exactly when.

In the thirty-fifth year of Yongle, Queen Liu Qian suddenly lost her appetite, and the luster on her skin faded quickly. Liu Qian, who had experienced many things, knew that time was running out, so she immediately called several children back. After Chen Cheng heard about it, he immediately rushed to the queen's bedroom.

Hearing the sound of familiar footsteps outside, Liu Qian shouted loudly, "Don't come in!" ”

Chen Cheng paused and asked, "Why?" ”

Liu Qian sobbed and said, "I don't want you to see me now!" ”

Chen Cheng lifted the curtain, walked in, hugged Liu Qian in his arms, and said, "Fool, I won't mind no matter what you become." ”

"I know, but ........" tears began to appear in Liu Qian's eyes, "After so many years of good life, I should be content, but now I am still unwilling!" ”

She tightly tied the placket on Chen Cheng's chest and asked, "Master, do you think there will really be an afterlife?" ”

Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did Zhi Qian say it?" ”

"Well, that monk still has some skills."

"Hmph, the gossip confuses the public! I told you a long time ago, don't believe the monks. ”

"Okay, he's been dead for more than ten years, even if you get angry, there's nothing you can do about him." Liu Qian sighed and said, "Now I understand why Master didn't want to marry me in the first place. ”

She stretched out her palm, stroked Chen Cheng's face, and said softly: "Zi Jia'er is dead, Diao Chan is dead, Cai Yan is dead, even Sun Shangxiang, who is much younger than me, is dead, and I will die now!" If I knew that this day would come so quickly, I should have picked some more beauties for you. ”

Chen Cheng smiled, lowered his head, and kissed her on the forehead.

Liu Qian closed her eyes and said, "I'm not afraid of death, I'm just worried that if I die, there will be only one person in this world, Master." Although those people outside regard Master as an immortal, I know you don't like them. It would be very uncomfortable if you were the only one living alone in this world. ”

"Over the years, I have also changed Luoyang and the surrounding dozens of miles," Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "I won't feel bad, because I'm used to it." ”

Liu Qian opened her eyes and asked, "Master, will you leave this world after I die?" ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "En." ”

Liu Qian looked at this familiar person in a daze, and suddenly felt a chill on her cheeks, and water droplets dripped down. She forced a smile and said, "For so many years, I have never seen Master cry." ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Do you like to see me crying?" ”

"I don't know," Liu Qian's brows furrowed slightly, and then she stretched out again, "If Master goes to another world, maybe he will meet me again." But I don't have the ability of Master, if I forget what happened between us at that time, Master, you must get me back! ”

"Yes!"

Liu Qian closed her eyes again and muttered, "I'm tired, let's sleep for a while, maybe when I wake up, we'll meet again in another world." ”

Ten days later, Empress Liu Qian died. Chen Cheng stopped his safari and reappeared in the court. A year later, Chen Cheng announced his resignation as emperor, he stood on the main hall and said to the civil and military officials: "It's been so long, and it's time to move forward." If you don't give up your position, the wheels of history will run over. ”

But it was clear that no one thought the emperor's joke was funny, and everyone maintained a strange silence. Chen Cheng looked around the court, and he couldn't see any of the old people in the past. Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Wei Ran, Zhao Si, Xu Wen and others have all passed away one after another in these years.

Chen Cheng let out a long sigh, pressed Liu Sheng to his seat, and said, "This is your new emperor, cheer, ministers!" ”

The civil and military ministers in the main hall looked at each other, then stood up from their chairs together and said in unison: "See Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Sheng was sad in his heart, but he was very excited and said in a trembling voice: "Everyone, please take a seat!" ”

The imperial court gave preferential treatment to ministers, abolished the ritual of kneeling, and sat down to talk about the Tao as long as they went to the temple, and this rule has lasted for more than 30 years. The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the world fell into a panic. The vast majority of the people live in the emperor's time, they have heard of the existence of the emperor in their lives, and when they grow up, they learn the books compiled by the emperor, and they hear the miracles of the emperor, and they are used to having the emperor in charge of everything.

Now that the emperor has abdicated, won't the world be in chaos?

From the perfect city at the top of the mountains to the cold and damp British Isles, to the Americas across the ocean, many people are terrified, and many are gearing up for a new era. When the emperor was there, the prestige overwhelmed everyone, and now that the emperor has finally abdicated, a new era will soon come, right?

Especially the sons and daughters of the emperors, who discovered what made them different early on. Tireless, not sick, infinitely powerful, learning everything is fast, like a demigod walking in the world. When they grew up, they quickly built up a career all over the world.

But how can being king in a wild land compare to the glory of entering Luoyang? That's the heart of the world!

However, everyone did not dare to come forward first, and the emperor only abdicated, but he was not dead. So many people poured into Luoyang to find out what was going on with the emperor. Even the third-generation pope on the top of the mountain personally ran to Luoyang to find out the situation.

However, Chen Cheng did nothing, he just urged the Admiralty to build a warship with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. Seeing that the emperor himself was still alive, all the commotion subsided. Because Chen Cheng is still alive, Chen Sheng still uses the era name of Yongle.

In the thirty-eighth year of Yongle, the battleship named "Shine with the Sun" was launched, and after the sea trial, Chen Cheng took his guards and soldiers to board this unprecedentedly powerful battleship. Touching those thick pipes, Chen Cheng couldn't help laughing. Then he gathered everyone together and said, "It's time for it to be over." ”

The guards didn't understand what he meant, and Chen Cheng didn't explain, so he ordered someone to put down the boat and drove everyone up.

"I command you to return to Sasebo at once!"

"Huh?" Guards, you look at me, I look at you, and someone asked loudly, "Then what should you do, Your Majesty?" This battleship can't be driven back alone! ”

Chen Cheng stood at the bow of the ship, pointed to the sky with high spirits, and said in a loud voice: "I have placed all my treasures in the sea of stars, if you want, go there and find it!" ”

It had been a long time since he had spoken such gibberish, and the guards and soldiers were suddenly a little uncomfortable. But under Chen Cheng's orders, they also had to return to Sasebo in a small boat and report the situation to the town guard. Yang Ye, the general of the Hao army who was guarding Kyushu, was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately sent a fleet to look for the battleship "Tonghui with the Sun", but found nothing.

Yang Ye sent all the ships and men to search the nearby islands, but found nothing. He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately reported the matter to Luoyang by telegram. Liu Sheng, who was in Luoyang, actually knew about this matter for a long time, because Chen Cheng had already arranged everything and had left a long letter to Liu Sheng.

In this way, the emperor disappeared from this world forever. But it's not the end of it, on the contrary, it's just the beginning.
