Han Fei passed on the throne to the crown prince Han Jin, and after the new emperor Han Jin succeeded to the throne, he respected Han Fei as the emperor. After Han Fei resigned from the throne, he did not retire to the harem to retire with peace of mind, but adhered to the principle of "helping the horse to give him a ride", and when the new emperor Han Jin was difficult to decide, he helped the new emperor deal with it behind the scenes.

After a three-year transition period, the new emperor Han Jin completely controlled the government, and the Ming Dynasty also completed the handover of the old and the new in a real sense. In April of the same year, Emperor Han Fei led some of the concubines, as well as the Shan Wazi couple, to the Western Regions to visit his son Hu'er and inspect the foundation created by Hu'er.

Hu'er is worthy of being a military genius, when he led 100,000 soldiers and horses out of Yangguan, the soldiers were invincible, and soon occupied a large area between the Western Regions and Europe, opening up the westward land trade road for the Ming Dynasty, and greatly promoting the trade between the Ming Dynasty and European countries. It is precisely because of the prosperity of commerce in the northwest that it has further promoted the integration of the northern region of the Ming Dynasty and made outstanding contributions to the long-term stability of the land newly incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the north.

Emperor Han Fei attaches great importance to Hu'er, the eldest son, which is why he chose to visit Hu'er on his first stop in Beijing. Hu'er's ability to quickly stabilize in the newly occupied territory is of course inseparable from Han Fei's unsparing support.

Emperor Han Fei lived in the Western Regions for three months, returned to the capital to rest for more than a month, and then Yang Fan went to sea to Fusang to visit his son Han Cheng and began his overseas trip.

The overseas territories of the Ming Dynasty today include not only Fuso, but also Luzon and other areas of the South Seas, out of the Strait of Malacca, and several territories, including Australia. The overseas military bases of the Ming Dynasty are even as far away as North America and Africa, but because the distance is too far, the area occupied is not very large.

Emperor Han Fei started from Fusang, passed through the Xuanfu Division, traveled through the South Seas of Luzon, arrived in Australia and other overseas territories, inspected the territory owned by the Ming Dynasty, and encouraged the princes and grandchildren to continue to forge ahead and open up new territories for the Ming Dynasty.

This overseas trip lasted more than two years, and in the sixth year after the new monarch of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, the Emperor Taishang led the traveling fleet to set off and return home. When the fleet set off from the Ming Dynasty, it took the waters of the East China Sea, and on the return trip, Han Fei specially asked to go to the South China Sea waters and inspect the islands in the South China Sea, so as to show that the Ming Dynasty has sovereignty over the South China Sea.

Han Fei was gossiping with a few concubines in the cabin, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's the noise outside?" ”

The eunuch on duty hurriedly went out to inquire, and soon reported back: "Emperor Qi, a Penglai Immortal Island was found in front of the fleet......"

"Penglai Immortal Island?" Han Fei scolded: "Nonsense, this place is the South China Sea of the Ming Dynasty, where did you come to Xiandao?" ”

"Emperor Qiyu, the sergeants looking ahead all say so, and the minions don't know!" The eunuch on duty hurriedly said: "It is said that on the island ahead, the mountains and rocks are peculiar, the white clouds are swirling, and there are faint immortals singing......

"Oh? The fleet has arrived at the island, and I will go and see for myself! ”

The fleet commander received Han Fei's order and immediately ordered the fleet to slowly approach the target island, but he didn't dare to approach the island too much for Han Fei's safety, after all, there were people on the island who were sure, and it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe at present.

Han Fei and a few concubines walked out of the cabin and looked at the island in front of him, only to see a pillar of strange peaks on the island, lush forests, and a belt of white clouds swirling in the mountains, creating a dreamlike scene, even he couldn't help but wonder if he had encountered the legendary fairy island. What's even more peculiar is that there are traces of human activity on the island, which is rare on a small island in the middle of the ocean, after all, it is difficult for such a small island to have the conditions for long-term life.

The fleet was getting closer and closer to the island, and it was faintly visible that on a raised boulder, there was indeed a master with a crown and a bow, singing with his hands in the sky behind his back. After getting closer, the singing voice was also very clear, Han Fei listened quietly, and immediately understood the lyrics:

Where I live, the peak of the green ridge;

I wander, Hongmeng space.

Who dies with me, and who with me?

Slim and vast, return to the other wilderness!

……

Green Terrier Peak? Han Fei was shocked, he heard about this place name again! I remember the first time I heard about this place name, it was in the dream before the Zen position to the prince, and later he had secretly ordered the inner guard Jinyi Mansion to inquire about the Green Terrier Peak, but there was no result, I didn't expect to hear this place name in the middle of the sea, is this place the Green Terrier Peak?

Han Fei couldn't help but look at the peaks on the island carefully, there seemed to be similarities, but they were not the same, after all, they were in a dream, and there was still a big gap between them and reality. But since he heard the news of Qingjiao Peak again, Han Fei didn't want to miss it, and he was busy ordering the fleet to dock on the island, so he decided to go up and investigate it himself. He wanted to verify whether he could still meet the Taoist priest and monk in the original dream, and he had already asked about some things he didn't understand.

This is a secret that Han Fei hides in his heart, he didn't even reveal the closest people around him, now that he is old, and the relatives around him have passed away one after another, maybe one day he will also die, he doesn't want to leave this world with unexplained regrets.

Han Fei's fleet is all large ships, and they can't go directly to the island, so they anchor dozens of feet away from the island, and then prepare to send several guards to the island to investigate first. However, before the small boat of the investigation had left the big boat, the singing Gao Shi appeared on the beach of the island just now, shouting at the fleet: "Emperor Taishang, Xiao Ke Zhen Shiyin has been waiting here for a long time, and the family teacher and Miao Miao Zhenren have asked the Emperor Taishang to move around!" ”

The vast master, the misty real person and Zhen Shiyin are all characters who appeared in the original dream, and they are also the people Han Fei has been looking for, hearing Zhen Shiyin's shout, Han Fei understands that these people are waiting for him here, and he can't help but be very happy. He immediately ignored the opposition of his entourage, ordered the guards to take him ashore in a boat, and did not let his entourage follow, and walked straight to Zhen Shiyin, saying, "Please ask Brother Immortal to lead the way!" ”

Han Fei followed Zhen Shiyin into the white-clouded peak, and soon saw under a strange pine that the monk and Taoist priest in the dream were playing chess again, so he couldn't help but take a quick step and arched his hand: "I have seen two immortal elders, and the two immortal elders are unharmed!" ”

"The Emperor Taishang and Lao Wei are destined, no need to be polite, sit down and let's talk freely!" The vast master put down the chess pieces, looked at Han Fei and said with a smile.

Han Fei knew that these immortals and the like were not more polite, so he was honest and polite, sat next to the two of them, and said respectfully: "What do the two immortal elders command, I will listen to you!" ”

What the Emperor Han Fei said to the vast master and the misty real person, no one knows, and everyone in the fleet was also given a death order by him, not to reveal what they saw and heard. Of course, a few years later, some gossip still circulated among the people of the Ming Dynasty.

After Emperor Han Fei returned to Beijing, he lived in the harem to recuperate and no longer bothered with mundane affairs.

After another ten years in a hurry, the Empress Dowager Zhang Wanyi and other concubines of the Emperor Han Fei passed away one after another. At the end of the funeral of the Queen Mother, the Emperor Taishang left an edict and went into the mountain to cultivate, and he has not been seen since.

Emperor Han Jin of the Ming Dynasty followed the edict of Emperor Han Fei and announced that the Emperor would die, and the Emperor and the Queen Mother would be buried together. When the subjects of the Ming Dynasty heard the news, they wept bitterly, and consciously set up a mourning hall for the Emperor Taishang, which lasted for several months.

A few years later, from the Ming Dynasty to overseas territories, there has been a legend in the territory of the Ming Dynasty that someone saw the Emperor Taishang riding the Yellow Dragon, roaming in the sky, patrolling the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty. Even thousands of years later, this legend has been circulating, and later archaeologists, historians, and astrologers have tried to unravel this mystery, but the facts have become even more confusing.
