Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 908 Although bleak, but perfect

"Cruel?" The young master shook his head lightly, "Zi Feiyu, An Zhiyu is happy."

"It's true to say that, but personally, I can't accept such a result without a reasonable explanation. It's not fair to King Tong."

"Oh?" The young master looked at his younger brother with a smile, "How do you say it?"

"For Emperor Chongde, when he died, it was over. Those bad things and people left him. He could finally enjoy the long-awaited peace and quiet, but what about King Tong? To continue to struggle in this quagmire, although the life expectancy is much longer than expected, but without the closest person to accompany him, no one can listen to his complaints, no one can comfort him, and all those messy troubles must be Is it fair that he took it upon himself?"

The young master didn't say anything, he just picked up a piece of pastry and took a small bite.

"Brother?" Master Chu Ran held his cheek, "Did I say something wrong?"

"As a person who doesn't know the inside story, you are not wrong to say so." The young master finished the snack in his hand and wiped his hands with the wet handkerchief prepared next to him, "In fact, this is Tong Wang himself s Choice."

"He chose it himself?" Master Chu Ran was taken aback, "Did he tell you?"

"En!" The young master nodded, "When we met him, he was still young, and he thought we would only listen to it as stories and not take it into our hearts, so he told all the things hidden in his heart. "

"That's true, because I don't have any memory at all. Not to mention what he said, I don't even remember what he looks like now." Master Chu Ran looked at his elder brother anxiously, "He What did you say? Emperor Chongde should have been dead for many years at that time, right?"

"Yes, for so many years, he has been traveling around, taking the place of Emperor Chongde to see this river and mountain that he has never seen before." The young master thought for a while, "Half a month before Xijing was captured, they moved Entering the Biezhuang." He glanced at Young Master Chu Ran, "King Tong said that there is a secret underground passage between the palace and the Biezhuang, but it was completely destroyed when they finally left Xijing."

"Leaving Xijing through the secret road half a month ago, did something happen to Emperor Chongde?"

"It's not an accident, it's that Emperor Chongde is already terminally ill, and the medicine is useless. The two wanted to use the last time to be alone, so they came to the villa through a secret way. King Tong's original intention was to accompany Emperor Chongde to spend the last days of his life. For a period of time, after the death of Emperor Chongde, he walked with him. He said, different quilts in life, but the same acupuncture point in death."

"And then? Don't they have that elixir? Can't that medicine save lives?"

"No." The young master shook his head lightly, "They originally had two, and they could be together for a long time, but because Emperor Chongde suddenly became seriously ill, he also thought whether the medicine could save his life, so he took it I took that. According to Tong Wang, the effect is very good, and the condition has improved, but it only lasted for two or three years. I don’t know if the effect of the medicine has disappeared, but the condition is more serious than before, and the condition worsens. The speed is faster, and the imperial doctors are at a loss. Originally, King Tong proposed to give the other one to Emperor Chongde, but Emperor Chongde refused. Obviously, that medicine did not help his disease. There is no need to waste any benefits."

"That's true." Master Chu Ran sighed, "But King Tong is willing?"

"If you don't want to, there is nothing you can do. At that time, we were about to break through Xijing. Even if he took the medicine, he wouldn't live long. Instead of waiting in the palace to die without dignity, it is better to go to Biezhuang and enjoy their rare time alone, this is also the wish of the two of them.” The young master sighed, “Although it seems not very responsible. , but the two of them have shouldered too many things in their lives, and it is not impossible to be willful at the last moment of their lives."

"Yeah, the real culprits of the situation in the previous dynasty were their grandfather, father and two uncles. The two of them have tried their best to clean up the mess. Again, the two of them are just bad luck. It’s not good, but the ability is still there.”

"To the outside world, they just said that Emperor Chongde was seriously ill and didn't see anyone, but he still had to manage the government. Every day, the closest and most trustworthy people around him were sent to Biezhuang through secret channels, waiting for King Tong's instructions. Send it back when you're done."

"At this time, Emperor Chongde is no longer able to personally approve the papers?"

"I don't know about that." The young master shook his head lightly, "Prince Tong said that they spent a rare period of time that only belonged to them. Later, Emperor Chongde's situation became worse and worse. I don't care about government affairs, and stay together every day. In the last few days, Emperor Chongde felt that his time was approaching, so the two of them had a formal talk about future arrangements."

"In the future? Does Emperor Chongde want King Tong to take that elixir?"

"This was proposed by King Tong himself, but Emperor Chongde also had the same idea. They all felt that the little prince has the ability, but he is young, too inexperienced, and prone to radicalization, so someone must watch him. And this person must be trusted by the little prince, so they all agreed that King Tong is the best candidate. At the same time, Emperor Chongde also hoped that he could help him see this great river and mountain, and see the lives of the people."

"King Tong agreed?"

"En!" The young master nodded, "Before he met us in Xijing, he had fulfilled all his wishes, and he came back to accompany Emperor Chongde."

"Accompany?" Master Chu Ran was taken aback, "Are they in another village?"

"You can't live in the same quilt, but you must die in the same acupuncture point." The young master chuckled lightly, "Although it sounds a bit bleak, the ending is also perfect, right?"
