Suddenly rushing to sit up on the bed, Zhu Pangpang looked left and right, then looked at the quilt on his body, then exhaled and wiped the cold sweat from his head.

"It turned out to be a dream, it scared me!"

He took a few breaths to calm down the panic in his heart.

Zhu Pangpang pulled the quilt and was about to lie down and continue resting.

He has to get up early tomorrow to go to court, so he can't get up late.

But just as his hand was on the side of the bed, he suddenly touched something cold.

Subconsciously looking down, Zhu Pangpang was stunned on the bed.

This is a thing made of bronze, the style is very rough, and there are traces of time on it, it looks like an old thing.

There are many old things in the palace, and it's not like Zhu Pangpang has never seen any treasures.

The reason why he was stunned when he saw this thing was because this thing was what his father gave him in his dream just now.

"This... this... this is not a dream!"

Zhu Pangpang picked up the bronze matching bird in a daze, and stared at the little thing with dazed eyes.

"My father really came back, he really came back just now."

After muttering a few words to himself, Zhu Pangpang rolled off the bed, staggered a few times before getting up, and ran to the door, shouting.

"Father... where are you, dad, come out quickly, don't scare your son, dad..."

Mrs. Zhang, who was packing up her things, heard her husband's shout, frowned suspiciously, put down the things in her hands, and walked out quickly.

"What's the matter? What's the matter, aren't you sleeping? Why did you run out again? What should I do if I'm freezing without wearing a thick coat?"

Seeing her man running out barefoot, Mrs. Zhang hurried forward with distress, and pulled Zhu Pangpang to go back.

"Did you see our father come back just now?"

Seeing his wife, Zhu Pangpang quickly grabbed Qi's hand and asked nervously.

"What are you crazy about? You still told me during dinner that the old man just sent a telegram that he was fighting in Tbilisi. After the battle, he would levy the Golden Horde. You still complained to me, saying that you knew In this way, the two of them will not be allowed to go out together, and always engage in this kind of sudden change of mind, don't you forget?"

Hearing what his wife said, Zhu Pangpang kept shaking his head.

"No, no, dad must have come back, he must have come back..."

As he said that, he showed the bronze bird in his hand to Mrs. Zhang, "Father gave it to me just now, and he handed it to me. There is no such thing in our palace, so it must have been brought back by our father. "

"This…"

Looking at the things in her husband's hands, Mrs. Zhang hesitated a little.

She knows best what is in the palace where she lives, and since her husband got off the bed, this thing must be beside the bed.

She makes the bed herself every day, and she knows best if there is such a thing.

It is also impossible for other palace people to let it go. Zhu Pangpang likes to sleep quietly. When he is sleeping, except for Mrs. Zhang and the guard eunuch at the door, no outsiders come in at all.

In addition to what my husband said, could it be that the old man really brought this thing back.

But the old man is thousands of miles away, even if the plane and airship are very fast, it is impossible to come back in a few hours.

Thinking of this, she shouted towards the door: "Come on, come in!"

"Your Majesty, Empress Empress!"

Hearing the movement a long time ago, the guards and eunuchs who had been waiting outside the door rushed in quickly.

The reason why Zhu Pangpang didn't come in immediately when Zhu Pangpang yelled just now is because they heard Zhu Pangpang calling the Supreme Emperor, and there was no other movement inside, so they didn't dare to come in. They were afraid of breaking in suddenly. What not to look at, their heads are about to move.

"Did you see the Supreme Emperor come back just now?"

Seeing that her husband was too nervous to speak, Mrs. Zhang quickly asked several guards and eunuchs.

Several guards and eunuchs looked at each other blankly and shook their heads in unison.

"Go back to empress, I'm waiting everywhere, but I haven't seen the Supreme Emperor come back."

"Really?" Mrs. Zhang asked again with certainty.

Several eunuch guards shook their heads in unison.

"Really do not have!"

"Understood, you all go out!"

Seeing the guardians shaking their heads, their eyes were also blank, Zhang frowned and drove them out.

"Are you sleepy or confused? You can't tell. This is what you brought before going to bed."

Asking the guards and seeing the old man, Mrs. Zhang wondered if her husband was too tired and had hallucinations.

"this…"

Zhu Pangpang was also a little suspicious. He looked at the bronze bird in his hand and scratched his head.

Is it true that I have hallucinations, but where did this thing come from? There is really no such thing in the palace.

Just when Zhu Pangpang frowned and doubted himself, Zhang Shi supported him to go back to his room and continue to rest.

Yang Rong, who was on duty in the palace today, rushed to the palace where Zhu Pangpang was resting.

I don't know whether it was because of the hurry or because he was walking in a hurry. He staggered several times on the road. If it wasn't for the support of the accompanying officials behind him, he might have fallen down several times.

"Is the emperor here?"

Rushing to Zhu Pangpang's bedroom, Yang Rong grabbed the officer guarding the gate.

"Scholar Yang, the emperor has already rested. If you have nothing important to do, can you come back tomorrow?"

Glancing at the closed bedroom door behind him, the officer hesitated to persuade him.

"Oh, it's still tomorrow, and now I can't wait anymore, so I hurried to call the emperor, and said that there is something important, it's about the emperor!"

"The Supreme Emperor!"

The officer was taken aback when he heard it. He was also called in just now, and he was the one who answered.

The emperor suddenly asked if the emperor was there, but they really didn't see it.

However, as soon as they returned to their posts, Bachelor Yang Rong talked about the Supreme Emperor.

Thinking of what the emperor and queen asked just now, and looking at Xueshi Yang's pale face, the officer suddenly realized something, and suddenly pushed open the door of the bedroom behind him and rushed in.

Yang Rong and the others didn't understand the notification, so they followed in directly.

The other guards wanted to stop them, but seeing the dignified expressions on the heads and these adults, they knew something big should happen.

If they stopped a few people at this time and delayed the military aircraft, it would be light to be skinned, and they might not even be able to keep their heads.

So the guardians hesitated for a moment, and followed directly, planning to take them away if the emperor gave an order not to allow them to enter.

After being notified by the officer, Zhu Pangpang, who was still holding his things and sitting by the bed, bounced off the bed, and staggered towards the door with Mrs. Zhang's support.

When the two met in the courtyard, Yang Rong looked at Zhu Pangpang who was looking at him nervously, his eye circles were filled with mist, and he fell to the ground, choked up and said: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor... the Supreme Emperor... died Already!"

"Boom!"

The news was like a thunderbolt, and it exploded violently in Zhu Pangpang's mind. He staggered violently and almost fell to the ground.

"You...you...what did you say?"

Although he heard it clearly, Zhu Pangpang still couldn't believe it. He hoped it was just a lie, a joke.

But as a cabinet scholar, how could Yang Rong make such a joke, even if he wanted to die, he couldn't drag the nine clans to die together.

Slightly raised his head, his face was already wet with tears, Yang Rongyu was crying and said in a hoarse voice: "Just now, we received a telegram from His Royal Highness His Royal Highness King Zhao of Han. died in the barracks outside Bliss."

After being confirmed again, Zhu Pangpang's eyes suddenly went dark, and his body fell backwards.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Fortunately, the officer who reported just now had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and he dragged Zhu Pangpang back.

Zhu Pangpang took a few breaths, glanced at his wife who was full of concern, but also tearful, patted his wife's hand lightly, turned to Yang Rong and said:
"Ring... ring the bell, summon the officials..."

Zhu Pangpang, who was supported by everyone, suppressed the grief in his heart, and gave the order with tears on his face.

Originally, according to the rules, the emperor could not ring the bell immediately after his death, but the imperial city had to be put under martial law first, and the world would not be notified until the new emperor ascended the throne and all preparations were completed.

But the current Ming Dynasty is different, there are no two brothers around, and Zhu Pangpang, the emperor, has not been in office for a year or two, so he is not afraid of ringing the bell now.

Coupled with the communication system, it is impossible to arrange it to all the officials. If someone is sent to notify, it is unknown when they will be gathered together, so Zhu Pangpang can only use the bell to remind everyone to come and go to the court.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang..."

Just as everyone in Beiping City fell into a sound sleep, a mighty and majestic bell sounded from the bell tower of the Forbidden City.

The person who was awakened turned over irritably, ready to stare for a while, and continued to sleep when the bell stopped.

However, after waiting for a long time, the sound didn't stop, and even the rhythm of the knocking was different.

"broken!"

Yu Qian, who opened his eyes as soon as the bell rang, thought it was telling the time, but when he heard the rhythm was different, he got up from the bed, slapped his wife next to him and shouted: "Hurry up, come on... I'm getting ready for court clothes!"

"What's the matter? Why are you ringing the bell in the middle of the night! Didn't the court decree that the bell should not be used to tell the time? Why is it ringing again?"

"Oh, don't ask, find clothes for me quickly."

Not only Yu Qian, but all the honorable officials in the capital got up immediately, put on their court clothes, and ran to the palace as fast as they could.

At the same time, on the way there, they also noticed that the Jinyiwei, Yueyingwei and the Royal Guards guarding Beiping had already guarded all the important exits of Beiping.

Seeing this scene, everyone's face was extremely solemn, and listening to the ringing of the bell that hadn't stopped, they all guessed in their hearts what happened.

Soon, everyone gathered at the gate of the palace with lights on, and saw Yang Rong who was on duty today.

The imperial court is not on duty during normal times, but when there is a war in the country, all departments must retain personnel to deal with emergencies at any time.

"Scholar Yang, what happened, this... this is..."

Yu Qian, who already had a guess in his heart, wanted to ask who it was, but he realized something was wrong just halfway through the sentence, and immediately closed his mouth, looking at Yang Rong anxiously.

Yang Rong, who still had tears in his eyes, looked around and calmed down, all looked at his officials, and said slowly: "The emperor is waiting in the hall, if you have anything to say, let's go in and talk about it."

As soon as they heard that the emperor was waiting, some officials who were already worried were suddenly relieved.

When they came, they were actually thinking, if something happened to the emperor, who would have the guts to order the bell to ring.

Before the crown prince comes back, those big bosses who can know will definitely try their best to hide it.

Now that the emperor is fine, the only thing left is...

Thinking of this, the faces of some veterans and ministers paled slightly, and their steps towards the hall became a little vain.

"is not it…"

While marching, Yang Pu asked Yang Rong in a low voice.

He wanted to tell who it was, but he couldn't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, he could only show it with his eyes.

Glancing at Yang Pu who already had a rough guess, Yang Rong sighed slightly and didn't speak, stretched out his hand to support the old man, and walked towards the palace hall step by step.

Yang Pu's heart sank in an instant, thinking about the little things that accompanied that person, his eyes sparkled.

After entering the main hall, some ministers saw Zhu Pangpang sitting on it, and their hearts were completely relieved.

As long as there is no accident with the emperor, as long as the emperor is around, everything can be suppressed.

After bowing silently to Zhu Pangpang, the officials stood in two lines silently, waiting for the emperor to announce that they had roughly guessed the news.

"Announce it!"

Seeing everyone getting up, Zhu Pangpang, whose eyes were still red, waved at Yang Rong.

Yang Rong saluted, stood up and looked at everyone and said, "Just two hours ago, the imperial court received a telegram from the Third Army. The telegram was jointly sent by His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, King Zhao..."

Speaking of this, Yang Rong took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "The Supreme Emperor is dead!"

In the military camp outside Tbilisi City, all the generals and officers who had just dispersed knelt silently in the big tent, looking at Zhu Zhangui who was grooming the old man with tears in his eyes and biting his bloody lips beside the brocade couch Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaosui.

No one expected that the old man would just leave and leave them so suddenly.

After being driven away by the old man just now, they took Zhu Zhangui to take some night scenes and photos.

However, before everyone took a few pictures, the little snot who was serving the old man staggered over and said something in Zhu Zhangui's ear.

Then they saw the camera in Zhu Zhangui's hand dropped to the ground, and rushed into the camp like a madman.

Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Zhanji, who also sensed something was wrong, also rushed to the camp immediately.

When they arrived at the old man's tent, they saw the old man hugging the photo poster, sleeping peacefully with a smile on his lips.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of the three who rushed over were extremely painful. Zhu Zhangui threw himself on the ground, crawled to the old man's side, and stretched out his trembling hand several times before reaching under the old man's nose.

No crying, no daze.

Zhu Zhangui immediately let Hu Yu, Zhang Fu, and Jiang Huai, who followed in, control the army, and demanded that no one should move around without his order, and anyone who dared to disobey the order would be killed without mercy.

And the generals who followed after hearing this order, understood what happened, they all fell silent, knelt down silently, looked at the old man and hugged him, looked at the front helplessly, and bit their lips Bleeding Joo Joo Kyu.
