Chapter 1000 Epilogue: The End of the Empire (3)
When the battle is over and they rush back, they don't know that the Year of the Monkey is already here, and blood has already flowed into the capital.

Hearing this, Zheng Jun smiled softly, feeling helpless in the vicissitudes of life, raised his head, looked at the painting in front of him quietly, and suddenly stretched out his hand: "Give me the fire pocket."

Chen He didn't doubt that he was there, so he handed over the fire folder.

Zheng Jun took the fire folder, flicked it, and then lit a little flame. He moved the fire folder in his hand close to the wall, and slowly lit the painting on the wall.

"Duke..." Chen He was taken aback, and his eyes widened slightly.

Zheng Jun just quietly watched the painting slowly burn out.

The bright firelight made his old face look more and more vicissitudes.

"everything is……"

He was about to say something when he suddenly heard an old eunuch's voice outside the door: "Chief Chief, Your Majesty hastened to announce."

Zheng Jun was taken aback for a moment, and he and Chen He exchanged glances, both seeing worry in each other's eyes.

Emperor Shun hadn't summoned any of them in such a hurry for a long time.

The two immediately turned around and went out the door, picked up their cloaks, and stepped on the snow towards the Tai Chi Hall.

Zheng Jun simply explained to the old eunuch: "Old Tu, wait for a while, the painting is burnt out, put out the fire."

The old eunuch nodded submissively: "Yes."

Behind them, in the empty room, that western oil painting was slowly swallowed by the flames, and the man in the portrait with the bewitching purple eyes seemed to have a weird and cold smile in his eyes, arrogant and indifferent Looking down at the empire he built.

Let it live, let it die.

"Your Majesty?!" As soon as Zheng Jun and Chen He entered the hall, they saw Emperor Shun sitting on the Golden Luan Hall, dressed in a golden and gorgeous dragon robe, neatly dressed, which made Zheng Jun and Chen He almost stunned for a moment, as if seeing the young man. When His Majesty the Emperor came to court for the first time.

The officials below kneel down and bow in a majestic manner.

They were all shocked, His Majesty couldn't get up at all, how could he be able to sit all of a sudden?
"You are here." Emperor Shun slowly raised his head and followed the voice.

Zheng Jun and Chen He just woke up, looked at the empty and dusty Tai Chi Hall, and then hurried forward.

Zheng Jun looked at Emperor Shun with some concern: "Your Majesty, is your health well?"

Seeing Emperor Shun's complexion seemed to be much better, but he could only think of one word - return to light.

Emperor Shun smiled, his gray eyes seemed to be able to see them: "Zheng Jun, Chen He, I never thought that you would be the ones to see me off in my last journey."

Zheng Jun was taken aback for a moment, and he exchanged glances with Chen He, suddenly having a bad premonition in his heart.

"His Majesty……"

Emperor Shun raised his hand suddenly, blocking what he wanted to say, and said indifferently: "Zheng Jun, come and help me, I want to see the country of the empire."

Zheng Jun and Chen He felt a little heavy. Although they were not sure whether Emperor Shun could still stand, and even doubted that he could see nothing at all, they still stepped forward to help him up immediately.

But I don't want Emperor Shun to stand up barely despite his weak legs and feet.

Zheng Jun slowly supported Emperor Shun towards the gate of the Taiji Hall, while looking at Chen He, Chen He immediately moved an Eight Immortal Chair with the fastest speed and placed it in front of the gate.

Emperor Shun walked for a long time before reaching the gate of the Tai Chi Hall with the support of Zheng Jun. Although the heavy snow had stopped, the cold air poured in instantly, making him shiver instantly.

"Your Majesty..." Zheng Jun wanted to make him sit down with some worry.

Emperor Shun suddenly stretched out his hand and patted his hand: "I, it's nothing, help me to get the picture scroll and the short sword that I put on the desk."

Chen He silently turned around and left.

Just now Emperor Shun raised his face and turned slowly, as if he was feeling the wind, and as if he was looking around his palace, and sighed softly: "Don't lean on the railing alone, there are infinite mountains and rivers, sometimes it is easy to see, but sometimes it is difficult. Heaven and earth."

Looking at Emperor Shun, Zheng Jun was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, why are you so interested today?"

"Isn't this a good word? In heaven and earth, the country has changed masters. Only a subjugated king can write such words. The queen and I should be confidantes."

Emperor Shun smiled slightly, but there was not much sadness in his expression, he just looked ahead lightly: "The mountains and rivers in the sky are so beautiful, aren't they?"

Looking at the appearance of Emperor Shun, Zheng Jun suddenly realized the cruelty of time so clearly. He still remembered the appearance of the young and handsome emperor standing on the golden palace, full of vigor and ambition. In a blink of an eye, decades passed, the young emperor He looked even older than himself.

Emperor Shun couldn't stand anymore, Zheng Jun helped him to sit down slowly.

"Yes, the mountains and rivers of Tianji are so beautiful." Zheng Jun followed Emperor Shun's eyes and looked into the distance. The Taiji Hall is the highest place in the palace. At this moment, from the gate of the hall, you can still see the undulating mountains in the distance, majestic and desolate.

But, soon, this country will change hands?
At this time, Chen He had already taken the scroll and dagger from his hand, and placed them on Emperor Shun's lap.

Emperor Shun stretched out his hand to caress the scroll and the short sword on his lap, the violent and morbid twist in his expression had long since dissipated, leaving only a lot of melancholy.

"Eternal life in the world is just a dream, and it all flows eastward. How many people come and go... After all, I am just a lonely family." Emperor Shun stroked the scroll and dagger, then raised his head to look into the distance, and lightly laughed at himself. laughed.

"Concubine Chen is gone, Qingluan is gone, even my mother and Yunshang are gone, my enemies, my relatives, my love and hatred... are gone, and I am the only one left. Greedy retribution?"

Vaguely, he still seems to be able to see those once young figures passing by in front of his eyes in the snow, pointing at the mountains and rivers, stirring up the words, slamming Fang Qiu, or the hairpin in front of the mirror, and the paint is falling into ink.

Zheng Jun didn't speak, just stood quietly on the side.

"Heh..." Emperor Shun sighed lightly: "Zheng Jun, prepare a pen and paper, and pass on my will."

Zheng Jun looked at Emperor Shun sitting upright, feeling a little complicated, but still said very respectfully: "Yes."

After a while, he took a pen and paper and came over. With the assistance of Chen He, he finished preparations and said to Emperor Shun, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Emperor Shun raised his head, looked quietly at the desolate and silent palace and the mountains in the distance, and said slowly: "I, as a guilty king, Liang De contemptuously bowed down, blamed the heavens, and caused the rebels to go straight to the capital. It is my absurd mistake that the captives violated the border, and I have nothing to do with others. I cut myself off from the world and pleaded guilty for the people. When I die, I will have no face to see my ancestors, and let the enemy and captives split up.

"Your Majesty!" Zheng Jun's hands trembled too much to write, and he only raised his reddened old eyes to look at the emperor.
