"My lord, are you Lord Hades?"
After the eunuch Chengen served the king of the dead country beside him and sat down, he cautiously bowed down and looked at Cheng Hao.
"Lord Hades, it's not wrong to say that!" Cheng Hao smiled, for ordinary mortal beings, he can control the life and death of the other party with a single thought, and it is indeed not wrong to say that it is the king of Hades.
"My name is Haotian, I am the owner of this inn, you are the first guests of my inn after it opened, and it can be regarded as fate!"
"Haotian?" the man in the imperial robe and the eunuch beside him glanced at each other with a look of surprise, and then got up and knelt on the ground one by one.
"Zhu Youzhen, the king of the Ming Dynasty, meet the God of Haotian!"
"Eunuch Wang Chengen, meet Haotian God!"
Haotian, this name, for Chongzhen and others, it is simply a name that can no longer be sounded, it is a high God, the name of God, and the incarnation of heaven.
They didn't doubt the identity of Cheng Hao at all, just ask the world, who dares to use Haotian God and the name of God to die?
"Don't be nervous, now I'm an innkeeper, you are a guest, between us, you don't need to care about the rules of the rank. β
With a thought, an invisible giant hand helped the two of them up, and after the two of them sat down, Gongsun Wan'er had already warmed the wine on the wine table, and was pouring wine for the three of them with a smile.
"Childe, I've heard of Zhu Youzhen's name Wan'er, it seems to be the king of the mortal realm, right?"
"Well, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen!" Cheng Hao nodded, and then couldn't help but look at Chongzhen.
This deceased monarch of the Ming Dynasty is actually in his thirties, but half of his hair is gray, and his eyebrows are full of wrinkles.
"The king of the Nether Realm, you have disgraced God, your old man!"
Hearing Cheng Hao mention his name, Chongzhen's face turned pale, with both fear and shame. He is the emperor, and he has always regarded himself as the Son of Heaven, but now he has finally met God, and this status makes him feel embarrassed and embarrassed.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. Cheng Hao shook his head, "I opened this inn to welcome guests from the heavens and all worlds, just to hear their stories." Now that I've got my wine ready, isn't it time for you to tell your story?"
"A king of the dead country, how can there be any story to tell? I'm afraid I will disappoint God, your old man!" Chongzhen waved his hand a little embarrassedly, should he be so embarrassed to tell his experience of losing the country in front of the old man of God?
"Let's talk about it, if you tell an interesting story, then I can also give you a chance to do it again, what do you think?" Cheng Hao said with a smile.
"Do it all over again?" Chongzhen was a little dazed, "God, do you want me to return to the yang?" Even if I live again, I will no longer be able to turn the tide!"
"No, as long as you tell the story to my satisfaction, I can let you be reborn with memories back to the day when you first ascended the throne as emperor, presumably two lives, you should have a way to pull the big ship that is about to run aground back to the right course, right?"
"What God says, can it be true?" Chongzhen trembled with excitement, if he could be reborn with his memory to the day he ascended the throne, then there were too many things he could change, at least the Donglin Party that harmed the entire Ming Dynasty and went to perdition, he didn't want to let go of any of them!
"Naturally, take it seriously!" Cheng Hao pointed to the wine on the table, signaled to Chongzhen, drink, and tell stories.
"Since you want to hear it, God, I'll just talk about it briefly!"
After drinking all the wine in the cup, a flush appeared on Chongzhen's face, and the spirit of the whole person seemed to have improved a lot.
"Thirty-four years ago, I was the fifth son of the emperor, and seventeen years ago, I was the king of faith. But because I am not the eldest son of the emperor, my fate may always be fixed in the palace of King Xin, eating and waiting for death every day, like other princes, for the rest of my life. β
"However, in a situation that I never expected, God gave me a chance, although this opportunity was not a good opportunity, but even so, I am grateful, for fear of disappointing God's love for me. β
"When I was seventeen years old, my brother Xizong Zhu died by school, because there were no children, so "brother to brother", only seventeen years old I took over the throne in the hands of my brother, or a mess, thus became the supreme ruler of the Ming Empire. β
"God, your old man is high up, and you may not understand this feeling of leaping into the dragon gate and stepping into the sky, this feeling is ecstatic, but also terrifying. β
"The power of the world is in the hands of hundreds of millions of people, the life and death of hundreds of millions of people, that kind of panic and anxiety, after ascending the throne, has been pressed on my body, I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will live up to the high expectations of God, live up to the expectations of my brother, live up to the expectations of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world. β
"I want to be a good emperor, like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, strong and prosperous, and a Ming monarch who will be famous through the ages. β
"It's a pity that my abilities are limited, and my intelligence is much worse than those of the Great Emperors of the Ages. β
Speaking of this, Chongzhen's expression languished again, picked up the wine on the table, and took a big sip again, before he could barely lift his spirits.
"God you may also know that in order to prevent the princes and princes from rebelling, the princes of my Ming Dynasty, except for the princes, are basically in a free-range state, although there is no shortage of brocade clothes and jade food, but they strictly control education, most of the princes are unambitious, inactive, not to mention the principles of governance, and they don't even recognize many words. β
"I'm lucky, my brother is the emperor, and he takes good care of me, so I can read and read, and the teacher teaches, although I have also been attacked by Wenchen, but with my brother's protection, I have survived without danger. β
"It's just a pity, although I am much better than other princes, but even so, what I have learned is very limited, and I have never left the Forbidden City in my life. β
"Congenital deficiencies, limited qualifications, in order to live up to the throne that came from this gift, I have to rely on diligence to make up for it, hoping that diligence can make up for it, so that Daming can regain his vitality again. β
Speaking of this, Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh, "I used to believe in the words 'diligence can make up for clumsiness', but now that I have died once, I feel extremely ironic. When knowledge, vision, mind, and strategy are not enough, relying solely on diligence to make up for the four words will only make the whole country die faster!"
