Zhou Chen served as emperor for twenty-six years until the country was stable and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Then he abdicated the throne to Crown Prince Zhou Ye, and he himself moved out of the palace and lived in a temporary palace not far behind the imperial city, enjoying his old age.

During the 26 years of his reign, he was almost always busy with political and military affairs in the first 10 years. When the crown prince had matured, he began to train Crown Prince Zhou Ye, gradually delegating power to him, taking charge of the general direction and leaving some ordinary political affairs to Zhou Ye.

In this way, he was indeed much more relaxed and had more time to spend with his wife and children and enjoy himself.

That's right, when you become an emperor, why can't you enjoy yourself?

As long as the world is at peace and the court affairs are proceeding in an orderly manner, why can't the emperor enjoy himself?

If he was always busy with government affairs, then what was the difference between him and a 997 worker? Zhou Chen would never do such a thing anyway. He would rather put more pressure on his son, no, it should be said that he would train him, train the prince.

In his harem there are women he loves and women who love him, so he must definitely spend time with them;

What's more, after becoming emperor, there are so many concubines in his harem. If he doesn't do something meaningful, is he just going to sit there and watch every day?

Of course, the reason why Zhou Chen can still be so carefree at this age is because his physique is strong enough and he has the skills of an old horse still waiting to be stable. As long as he is less than a hundred years old, his physical fitness will not weaken. So even though he is over fifty years old, his physical energy is much stronger than that of a young man in his twenties or thirties, enough to deal with the concubines in the harem.

In order to complete his side quest "Listening to Music in a Brothel", he would even often go on private visits in disguise to experience the Jiaofangsi and brothels in Xindu and criticize them thoroughly.

In the eighteenth year of Xinghua, Concubine De Song Yinzhang was seriously ill. After more than a month of treatment, it was still ineffective, and Song Yinzhang was also terminally ill.

Deyi Hall is the palace where Defei Song Yinzhang lived.

At this time, Song Yinzhang no longer had the beauty she once had. The illness had made her very thin, and she no longer looked as beautiful as before.

But Zhou Chen didn't care at all. He held her hands tightly, his face full of worry and reluctance.

In fact, Song Yinzhang was the youngest of Zhou Chen's original four women. Even though she had been the Defei for eighteen years, she was only in her fifties, but she had been tortured by illness for several years.

On the other hand, the oldest one, Zhao Paner, is over 60 years old, but she is still in good spirits and well maintained. She looks like she is in her 40s, except that the wrinkles on her face are more obvious.

The second is Zhang Haohao. She is a little younger than Zhao Paner, but looks about the same as Zhao Paner and much younger than her actual age.

The one who looks the youngest among the four girls is Gao Hui. It may be because she has a lively personality, a good attitude, and usually cares about her appearance. She lives a very refined life. Also, it is because Zhou Chen dotes on her very much, so she ages the slowest.

Among Zhou Chen's harem, Zhao Pan'er, as the queen, is naturally the most favored. Apart from Zhao Pan'er, Gao Hui is the most favored. She is also Zhou Chen's only concubine.

Song Yinzhang was originally weak. When she was young, she gave birth to several children in order to have a son, which damaged her vitality. As she got older, she began to suffer from symptoms.

Song Yinzhang, who had slept for a long time, woke up like a flash of light.

"Your Majesty, can you hug me?"

"it is good."

Zhou Chen didn't say a word extra. He had already seen that the time had come for Song Yinzhang, so he helped her up from the bed and held her in his arms.

Song Yinzhang showed a satisfied smile on her face: "Your Majesty's embrace is still as warm as before. I have loved Your Majesty since Qiantang. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost forty years. It's great, it's great."

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, but asked Song Yinzhang to get closer to him. Yes, forty years had passed since he left Qiantang.

"Your Majesty, it is my lifelong fortune to be able to serve Your Majesty. I have no regrets and I really want to continue to accompany Your Majesty. It's a pity, cough, cough, cough."

Gently patted Song Yinzhang's back to smooth out her breath.

"I understand. I understand everything. Yin Zhang, if you have any ideas or wishes, tell me and I will definitely help you fulfill them."

Song Yinzhang's face was as pale as snow. After hearing Zhou Chen's words, he forced himself to look more energetic.

"I have been able to accompany Your Majesty for forty years, and I have no regrets in my life. As I leave, I have only one wish, which is that I hope I can still accompany Your Majesty and serve Him after my death."

Zhou Chen understood what she meant, and replied without hesitation: "Okay, I promise you, my concubine De, will be by my side in life and death."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

A brilliant smile bloomed on her pale face. Being able to accompany Zhou Chen even after death was the greatest happiness and affirmation for her.

When she was alive, she was weak and unable to serve Zhou Chen well, but after her death, she would definitely stay with Zhou Chen wholeheartedly and forever.

Song Yinzhang looked at Zhao Paner, Gao Hui and Zhang Haohao.

"Sister Pan'er, Sister Hui'er, Sister Haohao, I can't do it anymore. Please take good care of His Majesty in the future..."

Song Yinzhang said the last words of his life without even hearing the affirmative response from Zhao Pan'er and the others.

Until the end, she did not worry about her children, and the person she was most reluctant to leave was still Zhou Chen.

"Quote chapter."

Zhao Pan'er was the most sad. She rushed over, grabbed Song Yinzhang's hanging hands, and burst into tears. This was the first time she was so heartbroken after becoming the mother of the world.

Although Song Yinzhang is not her biological sister, she watched her grow up. The two have known each other for more than fifty years, and she has taken care of Song Yinzhang for more than fifty years. She has long been closer to her than her biological sister.

Now seeing Song Yinzhang pass away, she was the saddest one among everyone.

Gao Hui and Zhang Haohao were also very sad. After all, they had been together for many years. Although they were in the same harem, there had never been any major conflicts among the four of them and their relationship was very close.

Especially since they are all elderly and are full of fear of death, now seeing their good sister die in front of them, they feel very sad and shocked.

Song Yinzhang's funeral was grandly held by Zhou Chen, and finally she was buried in the royal tomb he had already chosen.

As an emperor, Zhou Chen had naturally already selected a burial site for himself long ago and had already cultivated it.

Song Yinzhang's death had a great impact on Zhou Chen and others, but had little impact on the world and the previous dynasty.

It was not until the 26th year of Xinghua that Zhou Chen abdicated to Zhou Ye and became the emperor of Dayan, and then he took his concubines to a temporary palace far away from the imperial city.

Zhou Chen's abdication caused a huge shock, but fortunately the new emperor Zhou Ye had already been involved in handling government affairs, especially in the few years after Xinghua, when he was basically the one handling state affairs. Therefore, after he came to power, he did not cause much chaos and quickly stabilized the government.

During Zhou Chen's reign, especially the first two years after he became emperor, he was extremely murderous and killed too many people who opposed him, especially scholars.

Therefore, compared with Zhou Chen, the "brutal" founding emperor, most scholars admired the benevolent and well-reputed Crown Prince Zhou Ye more, and also tried their best to maintain the rule of the new emperor.

If he had a choice, Zhou Chen certainly didn't want to kill people, but during the time when he was emperor, he couldn't stabilize his rule without killing people, so he could only imitate the Hongwu Emperor of later generations, but he was more restrained.

Killing people is not a good thing, but to be honest, it was precisely because of his murderous nature that all the scholars in the world were frightened. They dared not resist him anymore, and the world gradually became peaceful.

During his more than 20 years in power, Zhou Chen seldom launched foreign wars. It was not that he did not want to destroy the Liao Kingdom, but the war between the two countries back then, coupled with the subsequent civil war, caused heavy damage to the Central Plains. If there was another war, the people of the world would suffer.

Therefore, Zhou Chen did not start a war, and the Liao Kingdom was half-crippled by Zhou Chen. During these years, there were minor frictions, but no major war occurred.

It took more than twenty years for the Central Plains to recuperate and slowly recover to its former state. When Zhou Ye ascended the throne, all aspects of the Yan Kingdom had been greatly improved.

If Zhou Chen used force to stop war and implemented military rule, then Zhou Ye implemented civil rule. The new emperor Zhou Ye was more respected by court officials and the people.

Zhou Chen hopes to see himself as a bad guy and his son as a good guy.

After abdicating, Zhou Chen became the Supreme Emperor with peace of mind, never touching the government affairs again.

After living in the palace of the retired emperor for three years, Concubine Li Zhang Haohao could not withstand the erosion of time and passed away peacefully in Zhou Chen's arms at the age of seventy-two.

After becoming emperor, Zhou Chen married more than a dozen concubines. Over the years, two of them have passed away, but most of them are still alive.

Zhou Chen was very caring towards these concubines. He did not restrict their freedom, allowing them to move around the palace and return to their parents' homes occasionally.

In addition to Zhao Pan'er and Gao Hui, there is also a girl from the Meng family who has been with Zhou Chen all the time. In fact, she has a slight kinship relationship with Zhou Chen because she is from the Meng family, the family of Zhou Chen's maternal uncle. She is also the most favored concubine besides Zhao Pan'er's four daughters.

Today, Princess Meng is only in her early forties, but she has been serving Zhou Chen wholeheartedly.

Time flies, time flies.

It has been eight years since the new emperor ascended the throne.

Zhou Chen and his queen and concubines have been living in the palace for eight years, and in the past few months, he has been staying by Zhao Pan'er's side.

Zhao Pan'er, who was nearly eighty years old, finally succumbed to the passage of time and was on the verge of death.

Zhao Pan'er said that she didn't want to die in bed, so Zhou Chen passed a stream of his internal energy to her, allowing her to regain some of her strength.

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to be proud of in my life. The only thing I am proud of is marrying you. The only skill I can show off is making tea."

"Sir, let me make you one last cup of tea."

Looking at Zhao Paner who was busy making tea, Zhou Chen's eyes became red.

Zhao Pan'er had been married to him for more than fifty years and was devoted to him. She arranged all the affairs in the harem for him, which was why he was able to conquer the world and achieve such brilliant achievements.

So, half of his success was given by Zhao Paner, and he always remembered it.

For so many years, he loved Zhao Pan'er very much, and now, Zhao Pan'er was about to leave him. He felt extremely heartbroken and even breathing became difficult.

On the contrary, it was Zhao Paner, with her silver hair and wrinkled face, who was full of smiles, and happily made tea for Zhou Chen for the last time.

Zhou Chen finished his last cup of tea and sat in the pavilion with Zhao Pan'er, watching the sunset.

"We will be together forever and never separate. I have done it. Sir, Pan'er is sleepy."

"Go to sleep, Pan'er, we will never be separated. I will always be by your side."

Zhou Chen hugged Zhao Paner and hummed a song, as if he was coaxing Zhao Paner to sleep.

Zhao Pan'er, with a smile on her face, slowly closed her eyes and left this noisy world beside Zhou Chen.

Until the end, she had a satisfied smile on her face.

"Pan'er, have a safe trip. Don't be afraid. I'm right beside you."

In this way, Zhou Chen stayed with Zhao Pan'er until dusk.

In the fourth year of Tianqing, the eighth year of Zhou Ye's accession to the throne, the first queen and the first empress dowager of the founding of Yan State passed away.

Zhao Pan'er was the empress for more than twenty years. She was virtuous and well-known, and was deeply loved by people all over the world. Her death mourned the world and the whole country.

As soon as Zhao Pan'er left, the system prompted that Zhou Chen's main task had been completed.

Now, Gao Hui is the only woman Zhou Chen had before he became emperor.

He also didn't expect that the woman he would accompany in the end would be Gao Hui. Speaking of his fate with Gao Hui, it was indescribable. The two of them were together because they were really destined to be together.

But if you think about it carefully, Gao Hui has a cheerful personality, is carefree, and has a good attitude, which may be the reason for her longevity.

Zhou Chen had always been with Gao Hui. Gao Hui was indeed very resilient and accompanied Zhou Chen until he was 80 and 90 years old. She passed away when Zhou Chen was 92 years old.

"Your Majesty, I am not as smart as Sister Pan'er and I can't make tea. I don't have a nice voice like Sister Haohao and I can't sing for you. I am not as good as Sister Yinzhang in playing the pipa, but I can accompany Your Majesty to the end. I am satisfied and I have no regrets in my death."

"I really want to ..."

After leaving behind her last words, Gao Hui passed away in Zhou Chen's arms with a smile on her face.

The moment Gao Hui closed her eyes, Zhou Chen gave up the desire to live and passed away with Gao Hui.

Zhou Chen lived to be ninety-two, which was a very long life in that era, not to mention that he was an emperor. For many superstitious people, this was a good omen.

Zhou Chen, the founding emperor of Dayan, was a legend throughout his life. Although he was criticized a lot, he restored the prestige of the Han people. No one can deny the changes he brought to the Central Plains, and his achievements can be said to be unprecedented.

Zhou Ye was also a long-lived man. He was over sixty years old and still alive. After Zhou Chen passed away, he buried Zhou Chen, Queen Zhao Pan'er, Imperial Concubine Gao Hui, Virtuous Concubine Song Yinzhang, and Lifei Concubine Zhang Haohao in the imperial mausoleum according to Zhou Chen's will.

Live in the same quilt, die in the same hole! ! !

…………

Inside the villa, Zhou Chen, who was sitting on the sofa, opened his eyes. He did not feel tired, but rather full of energy.

Having stayed in the Menghualu world for more than seventy years, he could already be ranked among the top few among all the worlds he had traveled through.

The first few decades in this world were indeed busy, especially after he ascended the throne and became emperor, he was very busy, but after he abdicated, his life was still very leisurely.

So after returning, he didn't feel tired at all and was in good spirits.

The time of traveling through time and returning was just a matter of a moment. The auction in the villa had not yet begun, and everyone was still sitting together in groups of three or five, talking and chatting.

Zhou Chen communicated with the system.
