Chapter 989 No more stopping

At dusk, the imperial chef on the car prepared four dishes and one soup, all of which were very light dishes, and a bowl of white rice porridge.

Zhu Gaoxu tastes bland and can't eat much at all.

Originally, his favorite seafood was not recommended to eat it many years ago. Sometimes, he insisted on eating it and it would indeed cause physical discomfort.

Xiaohe was the one who served him for dinner. This little girl looks good and has white and thin skin, but Zhu Gaoxu can only see and can't do anything. The word "food and sex" in life has been lost to him.

He quickly put down his chopsticks and returned to the study car.In the glass cover on the lamp stand, more than a dozen oil lamps had been lit. He picked up a book in the box on the bookshelf and sat back on the chair and watched slowly.

This is a very old hand-written book with yellowed paper but well kept.There are a few elegant words on the cover: The Daily Records of the King of Han.

He has long known the content, but Miao Jin's narrative is different.

The beautiful handwriting made Zhu Gaoxu seem to see her lonely and charming face again, and even the subtle and rich emotions in her beautiful almond eyes were revealed between the lines.

Zhu Gaoxu was imagining and slowly reading, and was very intoxicated.

After completely giving up the government affairs, Zhu Gaoxu's life became very simple, and it was easier to be in the car these days.

It’s just talking to Xiaohe, which is mostly trivial matters, reading books, and then washing, eating, drinking, and sleeping.

Four days and four nights later, the train arrived at Beijing Station located in the south of Beijing.After honking the horn, the train slowly began to slow down until it stopped on the railway tracks in the station.

With the support of the Jinyiwei Captain, Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the car with great difficulty.

At this time, he saw an old man with white hair standing outside, holding a crutch in his hand, he was Wang Bin.

Wang Bin wore a beam crown and a red official robe, and was dressed very formally and neatly.

There were also people around him who helped him, and there were also many officials and soldiers present, probably from Northern Zhili.

I haven't seen Wang Bin for several years. Wang Bin seems to have gotten a little older, but his rough round face still looks familiar.

Master!Wang Bin's turbid eyes suddenly lit up a little, and he immediately shouted.

He walked forward with a crutch in a hurry, and suddenly staggered, and the people around him quickly grabbed him.

Wang Bin called out again, walked over anxiously, then threw away the crutches, knelt slowly with difficulty, and leaned on the ground to bow. The people around him dared not help him anymore.

I welcome the emperor.Wang Bin said.

The officials behind them also lie on the ground and shouted long live.

Zhu Gaoxu adjusted his breathing, calmed down for a while, reached out and pushed away the Jinyiwei who was supporting him, and took a few steps slowly.

He bent down, grabbed Wang Bin's arm vigorously, and held it up with all his strength: Get up.Long time no see.

Wang Bin's eyes turned red, and he raised his head and said in a strange voice: I have often missed the Lord of God recently. I heard that the Lord of God is coming, but I was so happy.

Zhu Gaoxu was extremely relaxed. When he saw the only old friend left, he felt like he had fulfilled his wish again.

ha!Zhu Gaoxu reached out and patted his shoulder and looked at Wang Bin.

The face was also full of wrinkles and had many age spots.

In this situation, Zhu Gaoxu could hardly imagine Wang Bin's brave rushing back then.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Go to the palace and talk with me.

Wang Bin said: I am happy to receive the order.

The two of them returned to the city in the same car.They walked onto the imperial carriage from the Beijing Imperial Palace and left the station with the guards of honor and guards.

Along the way, the monarch and ministers had a random conversation. Wang Bin talked about the Liaodong Battle decades ago, saying in a joking tone that he would have stayed in Beijing after winning that battle and separated from the emperor for decades, it would be better to do something wrong back then.

It has been so long since then, and the king and ministers are old, and Wang Bin is not very particular about his words, so of course it doesn’t matter to Zhu Gaoxu.

However, after talking, Zhu Gaoxu noticed that they were talking about the past from a long time ago.

The carriage has been driving for a long time, and the street outside the window is lined with relatively high buildings, usually with several floors.

There are carriages in the middle of the street and there are sidewalks on both sides. The scenery of the city is very different from the past.

The scale of Beijing City exceeds the scope of the city wall, and the main economic zones are outside the old city wall; and the current mainland cities no longer build city walls.

On the street, there is a good horse model logo in front of many four-wheeled carriages. This is a brand called Qianlixue. The four hooves of the pony sculpture are white, indicating the largest carriage manufacturer in northern Zhili and even the north.

Qianli Snow Car Factory is an official factory.

When the people entered the city gate, the scene inside looked like another era. Most of them were old houses, mainly shops and residences.

When people arrived at the imperial city, the elegant atmosphere of the palace tower did not change. However, the emperor rarely lived in this palace, and there were very few people inside, which seemed a bit deserted in comparison.

Along the way, Zhu Gaoxu's architectural style continued to go back and forth from the newly built urban area, to the old city area, and then to the palace, giving people a feeling of passing through time.

Wang Bin and some officials accompanied him, and Zhu Gaoxu lived in the palace for a few days.

Life is very slow, he even needs help from walking, and he is prone to fatigue, and he sleeps intermittently for a long time.

When the weather was good, he asked someone to push him and checked everywhere in the palace with Wang Bin.

When he was in the Imperial Garden, he would sit there for a long time, carefully observing the vitality of the willow branches, peach and plum blossoms, and looking at the flowers.

Sometimes I look up at the sun and clouds.

It is strange that Zhu Gaoxu has lived at such an age and has never been so meticulous and focused on watching every grass and tree and everything in the world. At that time, he was always exhausted by power, desire, and various things related to interests, or interested in people.

These ordinary things in front of you are really boring.

However, he seemed to have a premonition in his heart that he was going to take that path and everything in the world should never be seen.

Only in the remaining life will he seize the opportunity to take a few more glances, but maybe it is meaningless.

Sure enough, one day he suddenly fell into a coma and his physical condition began to deteriorate.Soon, except for the very clear porridge and water, he could basically not eat, and it became increasingly difficult for him to sit up.

The officials were panicked. A group of doctors were on duty day and night in the Ganqing Palace in the Beijing Imperial Palace, and they could often hear their discussions.Then he sent someone to the capital to invite more imperial physicians to come.

Everything is useless. In Zhu Gaoxu's perception, people who have serious illnesses usually die. At worst, they can delay for a few more years. It is unnecessary struggle to think that they can be cured.

Moreover, he is so old that he can't stand treatment at all, and the medicine cannot be heavy.

Zhu Gaoxu also clearly felt that something was gradually withdrawing and disappearing in his body, and the pain in his chest was more frequent.

Moreover, he couldn't swallow things, and the food could only be mixed in water to enter his stomach.

If you can't eat, you will definitely not last long.

The people around them are afraid and worried, and sad.On the contrary, Zhu Gaoxu himself seemed relatively calm. He was ready, without regrets or reluctance. All he left was an instinctive fear.

In a daze, he thought of the gradual development of human beings from primitive people to the industrial age. He had no consciousness for tens of thousands of years, as if in the blink of an eye.

Even the long ten billion years of the universe's formation of stars has never had his consciousness and has nothing to do with him.

And there are still billions of years in the future, which may be just a snap of your fingers for me, but what if I blink my fingers?

Eternity is like an endless abyss. He is very scared, but he also understands that he cannot escape.

Zhu Gaoxu took advantage of his clear mind and called Wang Bin and the civil and military officials and issued the last imperial edict: all the officials in Beijing have been loyal and loyal, and no one is guilty.

After my death, the funeral was kept simple and Qi 𬭎 inherited the throne according to the etiquette system.

After hearing the imperial edict, Wang Bin knelt in front of the bed and cried.

Zhu Gaoxu moved his arm and Wang Bin hurriedly approached.Zhu Gaoxu said slowly: This time, you can't stop me.

Wang Bin said: I wish to exchange my life for the emperor's longevity.

Zhu Gaoxu's mouth showed a playful smile.

Wang Bin said a lot more, and he seemed to be in good spirits and should be able to live for a few years.

Zhu Gaoxu heard what he said intermittently, and he didn't hear much clearly, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Sometimes Wang Bin seems to be saying, "What starts with the grass, and when he meets the emperor, he will be grateful to the emperor from then on."

I have a virtuous wife and beautiful concubines in my life, and I have a lot of children and grandchildren, and I still live to my eighties, all thanks to the grace of the Lord.

I don’t know how long it took, Wang Bin’s voice came again: In the next life, I will still be willing to follow the emperor and drive forward to the emperor.

Zhu Gaoxu whispered: OK, see you in the next life.

However, it seems not easy for a person to die, so Zhu Gaoxu has been struggling for a few more days.Later, I couldn't even swallow water, so I could only rely on infiltration into my body.

Once he saw all kinds of strange and indescribable images, which expanded infinitely like a balloon, and all kinds of dense and colorful things. He thought that if a person died, he would still have some consciousness?

Unexpectedly, I woke up later and was still lying on the bed, confused and had no strength at all.

Only then did I vaguely understand that I might have some more or less consciousness when I was in a coma.

Then the things in my mind became particularly strange, and the things I had experienced were going back in my heart like a quick look.

Everything was not continuous, and some things he thought he had forgotten long ago and scenes that he hadn't thought of for a long time became extra clear at this time.

He even saw the secret hairs on the bodies of the Semen Asari and Yisuwa, and recalled the voices of Miaojin, Yao Ji, Guo Wei, Enhui, Du Qianrui and others, and the laughter of a bell.

He felt more and more comfortable, more and more relaxed, and he could no longer feel the pain.

Finally, at some point, Zhu Gaoxu felt a burst of darkness, and then he no longer had any consciousness, and everything became nothing.
