Humane Yongchang

Chen Shouyi couldn't get sick.

Chen Shengshou stayed in front of the sickbed and took care of him day and night for half a month, but he could only watch helplessly as he became thinner day by day, and his waking hours became less and less day by day.

The doctors who came to see Chen Shou told him that the internal organs of the Taishang Emperor had already exhausted, and even if he could be forced to stay in the world for three to five months with tiger wolf medicine, the great pain of exhausted internal organs would also be severe. It made him feel worse than death.

This made Chen Sheng know that the old father's time had really come, otherwise, as the Great Han Supreme Emperor, he should not have suffered this bad luck.

Such a choice is very difficult for all sons, because no matter which choice they make, it is wrong, and no matter how they choose, they will regret it in the future.

Chen Sheng is no exception.

From the son's point of view, since there is a way to procrastinate, he certainly wants to keep his old father to reunite in the world for a little longer, even if it is only an extra hour or a day?

As long as Chen Shou is still in this world for an hour, he still has a place to come from, and when he leaves Changning Palace, he still has a home.

But from a man's point of view, if this day comes to him, he definitely hopes that he can keep his dignity as a man and walk away quickly, instead of losing all his dignity and lying half dead on the sickbed, watching death approaching step by step in fear.

He knew that the old father must be strong in his life, and he must be the same as he thought...

He hesitated, feeling extremely tormented.

Chen Shou seemed to have guessed Chen Sheng's difficulties, and seemed to know that he would not be able to survive this test. Before Chen Sheng could make this difficult decision, he refused to take any more decoction, whether it was Chen Sheng or A Yu who took the decoction to go To persuade, or his dearest great-grandsons and great-granddaughters to shake his hand and act like a baby, he was so stubborn that he refused to take a sip.

It stands to reason that this undoubtedly rescued Chen Sheng who was in great torment.

But he didn't feel relieved at all...

When Chen Shou's final moment was approaching, the Chen family who were scattered all over the world rushed back to Jinling.

The old Chen family passed down two lines from the generation of Tianzu (five generations), and both lines were passed down through four generations.

The only daughter, Chen Yue, from Chen Ao's lineage, married to Wang Ben's second son, Wang Wu, and had three sons and two daughters.

The second son, Chen Jiang, married Xiang Yu's eldest daughter, Xiang Qing, and had four sons. The eldest grandson, Chen Po, was 23 years old.

The second daughter, Chen Jiao, married Wu Guang's eldest son, Wu Zhong, and had two sons and a daughter. The eldest grandson, Wu Shi, was 15 years old at the time and was in the first year of high school.

The second wife, Chen Shou, is of the same lineage. His only son, Chen Sheng, married two daughters, Zhao Qing and A Yu, and had two sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Chen Qi, married Zhou Yun, the daughter of Zhou Dashi, a veteran of the Red Army, and had five sons and two daughters. The eldest grandson, Chen Shu, was eighteen years old and had just entered college. Xiang, and Meng Tian's great-granddaughter Meng Xian's childhood sweetheart since childhood, has been engaged in the middle of the year, and the wedding date is set for the beginning of next year.

The second son, Chen Tai, was unruly by nature, married two wives and four concubines, and had nine sons and seven daughters. The eldest grandson, Chen Lang, was seventeen years old and had just graduated from high school. Chen Sheng was promoted to a higher level, and Chen Sheng was so angry that he beat him fat. Even now, seeing Chen Sheng, both legs are trembling.

The youngest daughter, Chen Yu, married Fan Zengzeng and his grandson, Fan Ji, and had two sons and two daughters. The eldest grandson, Fan Ye, was seven years old and had just entered the second grade of elementary school. Whenever his mother wanted to beat him, he would go to his great-grandfather's house...

The two single seedlings passed down from Yangcheng, Sizhou, finally blossomed into towering trees in the seventh generation.

When Da Mao finally found Chen Tai, who was on a long voyage in the Atlantic Ocean, and took him back to Jinling, Chen Shou was already dying.

He almost fainted for an hour or two before he was awake for a few minutes.

Every time he opened his eyes, he counted the Chen family members around the sickbed one by one like a mother hen counting chicks. Whenever he saw who was added to the crowd, he would show a cheerful smile with his front teeth , and then passed out again unbearably.

When his waking time became shorter and shorter, but his spirit became better and better, Chen Sheng knew that the old father's time was coming...

At sunset, Chen Shou woke up again, turned his head around laboriously, and then looked nervously at Chen Sheng: "Da Lang, Da Lang, where is your uncle? Why hasn't your uncle come yet?"

Chen Sheng held his father's withered hand, his heart was so heavy that he couldn't breathe, but he tried his best to slow down his voice, and said softly: "Da Mao is going to pick up uncle, just wait, wait, Coming soon..."

Chen Shou's eyes flickered violently, like two flickering electric lights. He slightly lowered his eyelids, and whispered angrily: "Okay, it's so dark, why don't you turn on the lights in the room..."

Chen Sheng couldn't help but glanced at the bright incandescent lamp above his head, and didn't answer, but slightly tightened his old father's palm.

"Pu Chi Pu Chi..."

Suddenly there was a muffled thumping sound outside the door, and all the Chen family members looked at the door together, and saw a majestic figure in armor, with disheveled white hair, and a burly figure like a lion, rushing into the door quickly.

"Father (grandfather, maternal grandfather, great-grandfather...)."

"Uncle (great-grandfather, great-grandfather, great-grandfather...)."

Amidst the chaotic greetings, the majestic figure quickly passed through the Chen family members and came to the sick bed.

Chen Sheng pursed his lips, and called softly: "Father, uncle is here."

Chen Shou opened his eyes suddenly, and two bright lights bloomed in his cloudy eyes. He held Chen Sheng's palm tightly with one hand, and raised the other palm to fumble in the void: "Brother!"

Chen Ao stepped forward to hold his groping hand, glanced at Chen Sheng, forced a smile and said, "Second brother, why did this happen? Get up, brother brought the best kumiss on the prairie, let's take care of it." Let's drink two bowls!"

"Hehehe..."

Chen Shoushang laughed out of breath, wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word with his throat throbbing, and finally managed to utter a word hoarsely: "Brother, brother, we Life is worth it!"

After finishing speaking, his undulating thin chest slowly collapsed like a deflated tire, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he was no longer breathing.

Chen Ao burst into tears suddenly, he held Chen Shou's palm tightly, and gently pushed him as if trying to wake up a sleeping person: "Second brother, second child, it's still early, don't sleep ..."

The Chen family members in the room were stunned for two or three breaths, and wailed in unison.

Chen Sheng knelt in front of his old father's sickbed, holding his old father's arm, pursing the corners of his lips vigorously...

Ah Yu stood behind him, gently stroking his vest, calming his turbulent emotions.

After a while, Chen Shengcai finally exhaled softly. He gently put down the old father's palm, helped the old father tidy up the loose skirts on his chest, and said in a low voice: "Father, we are not afraid, ah, There is also our home below, you go home first and put the house back together..."

At the right time, a burst of clear and powerful bells sounded outside the house.

Eighteen chimes of the bell signaled the collapse of the mountain.

When the people in Jinling City heard the ringing of the bell, they all put down their work and tried to listen to the direction of the ringing. When they heard the ringing came from Chang'an District, they knew that the one who died was the Supreme Emperor Chen Shou. .

Every household spontaneously took off all the brightly colored things outside their houses, and changed into white silk and plain clothes.

Some people lamented that in the future Jinling will never see that lovely old man who is rich and bold, with nearly a million people.

In the 19th year of the Han Dynasty, autumn.

The Supreme Emperor Chen Shou, surrounded by relatives, died suddenly with a smile at the age of 82.

No one in the world dared to pat the table with Chen Sheng, blow their beards and stare.

……

In a daze.

Chen Shou didn't know how long it had passed, but he only remembered that he seemed to have walked through a long, dark and narrow passage.

When he regained his sanity again, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure standing in front of him with a smile like a flower, saluted him with his hands, and called him father-in-law.

He rubbed his eyes subconsciously, trying to tell if he was looking at the fork, but the figure in front of him was clearly the same as the daughter-in-law in his memory.

"Qingqingqing... Qingniang?"

he asked incredulously.

He witnessed Zhao Qing's incarnation of the Six Realms of Reincarnation with his own eyes, but he didn't know what the Six Realms of Reincarnation was, and he didn't dare to ask Chen Sheng. Even if he asked someone privately, he was vague. Ten people could give him ten different answers.

He never expected that he would have the chance to see Zhao Qing again in this life!

Zhao Qing laughed foolishly, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth: "Don't father-in-law recognize his daughter-in-law?"

She was happy, because with Chen Shou in this family, it finally felt like home, and it was no longer just a dead thing conjured up by her magic power.

Chen Shou rubbed his eyes vigorously again. From the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the surrounding scenery, and the movement of rubbing his eyes froze: the familiar courtyard, the familiar pear tree, the familiar hall, and even the big water tank at the door of the kitchen. The location is exactly the same as in his memory!
"Here, here, here..."

He turned around on the spot, stuttering and asking, but couldn't utter a single word... He felt like he had traveled through time and space, although he didn't know what time travel was.

Zhao Qing pointed around: "This is our home... Well, our home in the underworld!"

"Hell?"

Chen Shou was stunned for a moment, and finally realized... Oh, so I'm already dead!

At the right time, there was a loud "bang bang bang" knocking on the door.

With a wave of Zhao Qing's hand, the gate of the courtyard opened automatically, and a large group of people rushed into the courtyard, and they saw Chen Shou who was still in a daze in the center of the courtyard at a glance.

They laughed and rushed forward, surrounding Chen Shou in an instant.

"As soon as we heard the bell, we knew it must be the fourth brother!"

"That's right, the bell rings eighteen, and apart from the elder brother, only the fourth uncle can enjoy this treatment..."

"I said fourth, you're quite alive, I thought you wouldn't come down after you haven't come for so many years!"

Chen Shou slowly scanned these familiar and unfamiliar faces. Even though they had become younger, lighter and stronger, he still recognized them at a glance: the second child, the sixth child, the seventh child, the ninth child, and the tenth child Three, old fourteen, old fifteen, old sixteen, little six, knife...

His eyes suddenly turned red, and he hissed, "You, you are all here!"

Chen Hu patted him on the shoulder, and said in relief: "This is our home, if we are here, where else can we go!"

Chen Shou looked at his strong arms that were thicker than the mouth of a bowl, couldn't help stretching out his hands and pinching them: "Second brother, your arms..."

Chen Hu folded his arms and said with a smile: "Ours is someone who died once, so we can't still be missing arms and legs, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another heroic young man in a shiny python robe squeezed in front of him, flaunting triumphantly, "Si Bo, look at our clothes, aren't they colorful?"

Chen Shou, who had gradually realized what was going on, slapped him on the back of the head with his backhand, causing Chen Xiaoliu to stagger, and almost fell to the ground: "You bastard, you're just playing around, and you still have such virtues!" , do you know how sad your elder brother was when you passed away? When I returned home for the banquet, I never forgot to leave a pair of bowls and chopsticks for you, just for fear that your boy would become a lonely ghost, even a half-breed There is no place to eat!"

"Hahaha……"

All the elders of the Chen family laughed happily in unison.

Chen Xiaoliu rubbed the back of his head, and also laughed "hehehe".

At the right time, Zhao Qing who was behind suddenly had a heart move, stretched out his hand to grab in the void, and grabbed out of thin air a black brocade embroidered with a dark gold Nine Dragons Holding Beads pattern.

All the people in the courtyard were silent, looking at the scroll of brocade in Zhao Qing's hand...the black document embroidered with the pattern of nine dragons holding pearls, and the one who can appear here at this time, in the sky and on the earth, only Chen Sheng's emperor's decree.

After Zhao Qing opened the brocade and browsed quickly, he raised his head and looked at Chen Shou with some embarrassment.

Seeing this, Chen Shou wondered, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Qing put together the emperor's decree, and handed it to Chen Shou with awkward hands: "Why don't you take a look for yourself..."

Chen Shou took it and opened it suspiciously, his eyes glanced straight at the "my wife Zhao Qing personally read" Yunyun, and directly locked a key sentence in the text: "Father is bold in nature, informal, has the courage to preside over the overall situation, but has no business His talent and patience can serve as a general judge for the underworld, to reward the good and punish the evil, and to rectify the laws and regulations of the underworld...'

It just so happened that at this moment, Chen Ji poked his head out of nowhere and looked around: "Uncle Si, what are you talking about?"

When Chen Shouzheng thought to himself that there was nothing wrong with Chen Sheng's words, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the shiny four-clawed python robe on him from the corner of his eye, and immediately became furious: "Nizi..."

Hearing his roar, Zhao Qing's big bright eyes couldn't help but bend into crescent moons again.

That's right, that's the right taste!
This is... the taste of home!

……

The 20th year of the Han calendar, the end of the year.

When Chen Sheng's second ten-year term as consul expired, Han Fei repeated his old tricks and once again joined forces to drive all the officials into the palace to force the palace.

However, when he led a group of gray-haired veterans into the Yanqing Palace, he saw the same gray-haired Chen Sheng standing on the Yanqing Palace with a sword, watching them enter the palace calmly.

Seeing that he was holding a sword, Han Fei was also happy and unafraid, and sneered to himself: "Does Your Majesty think that just a handful of scrap metal can make us give up our determination to 'ask' His Majesty to continue to be in power?"

The implication: I advise you not to be ignorant of good and bad!
Chen Sheng smiled contemptuously. He drew his sword out of its sheath, slashed it across his neck, and said in a cold voice: "You stinky and shameless old guys, if you dare to force me to be re-elected as consul again, I will die for you now!"

Han Fei: ...
