A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 131 The art of entering dreams!Xuande died!
At this time, in a room of Duke Chen Guogong's mansion in the capital, another person suddenly opened his eyes.

Yan Ling wiped the sweat from his head, with an excited expression on his face.

Of course, what Zhu Zhanji just faced was not Zhu Yuanzhang’s dream.

This was the reward Yan Ling received when he witnessed Zhu Zhanji's ascension to the throne.

[The art of entering dreams]

[You can enter other people's dreams for a period of two quarters of an hour (three 10 minutes). During this period, you have absolute control over the dream. This skill ignores distance and has a cooling time of one year. 】

This is a real magical skill. It is comparable to the Gale Card I got before. However, the cooling time of one year is a bit long, but this is normal. There must be limitations for a skill of this level. It is as if I have constructed the image of Zhu Yuanzhang and deceived him. I stayed with Zhu Zhanji for half an hour. When he woke up, he was sweating profusely and his body was weak. The price was still high.

During the ten years of Zhu Zhanji's rule, he had rehearsed for this moment many times, and some people in the capital had also been dreamed of by him.

This also caused a wave of fairy talk in the capital.It is said that someone was told by King Jingping in a dream that he would become an immortal before he died, and that he had a nose and eyes. Another person dreamed that King Jingping said that he had great fortune and wanted to give him a fortune.

That man also believed in the popular legend about Yan Ling, so he set up an altar in his home and spent all his money just to collect the tribute of three animals and six animals.

At that time, he was offering sacrifices in the city, and people from several neighborhoods came to see his joke, saying that this man was delusional. Even if King Jingping really became an immortal, how could he give a dream to such a humble citizen like him?

Unexpectedly, the next day, the man found a large ingot of gold in his shabby house for no apparent reason. Holding the gold on the spot, he excitedly kowtowed to the sky on the street and shouted:
"Thank you King Jingping for the gold! I kowtow to King Jingping. May the Yan family prosper!"

Attracted a large crowd of people to watch.

Everyone knows this man. It is impossible for an ordinary citizen to get so much gold.

At this time, most of the people in Beijing were shocked. This good guy actually got a reward!The dream thing turned out to be true!

That night, I don't know how many people made sacrifices in a similar way, but no second person was blessed. Gradually, everyone began to doubt the authenticity.

However, the next year, a similar situation occurred again!Another man received a dream, saying that his son who was a soldier would meet a noble man.

The neighbors were skeptical, and the man was also a little unbelievable.

As a result, only half a month later, his son was spotted by a general because of his bravery in suppressing bandits, and he was recruited as his subordinate. Soon after, he made meritorious deeds and was directly appointed as an official of a thousand households.

Now, everyone can believe it even if they don’t believe it.

King Jingping's reputation as a god has completely spread.

This was of course Yan Ling's handiwork, which not only made him more famous, but also made him more proficient in the art of dreaming. In the end, even Emperor Xuande, the emperor, was convinced.

The structure of the scene, the rendering of the atmosphere, the timing of the appearance, and the tone of the words are all correct. Zhu Zhanji has never met Zhu Yuanzhang, and he also got the information about Zhu Yuanzhang from various anecdotal records. At a glance, they are exactly the same.

Moreover, Yan Ling also deliberately made it look magical and half-sentence, which further whetted Zhu Zhanji's appetite and created his own mysterious image.

……

The tenth year of Xuande, the first month.

The palace of Emperor Xuande was crowded with people.

Surrounded by a group of military eunuchs and pure soldiers outside, followed by the eunuchs who were in charge of rituals, at the innermost level, in addition to Empress Dowager Zhang, Empress Sun, and Prince Zhu Qizhen, there was also a minister from the outer court.

It is Chen Guogong Yan Keng.

Earlier today, he was called to the palace by the eunuch who rushed over. It turned out that Zhu Zhanji realized that he seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, so he immediately called him, the prince and others.

When Yan Keng arrived, Zhu Zhanji was lying on the hospital bed. He was obviously still 36 years old, but his hair was already graying. He coughed twice from time to time, and his voice was extremely weak.Seeing Yan Keng's arrival, he suddenly gained strength and sat up from the bed suddenly. His movements were so big that everyone around him was startled.Before Yan Keng could react, he saw a thin hand with skin close to the bones reaching out and holding his wrist.

"Mr. Chen Guogong, I am leaving... After my death, please assist the prince with all your heart."

Emperor Xuande clearly looked like he was dying, but his hand was extraordinarily strong, and he grabbed Yan Keng's wrist tightly, almost pinching it out!His voice seemed to have some energy.

During this time, he had already made a decision.Since this so-called "breaker" is from the Yan family, he must be related to Chen Guogong to some extent.I don’t know who it is anyway, so the only plan I can make is to reuse Chen Guogong.

And Yan Keng has been their confidant for three generations, and he has proven his loyalty with his actions.

What's more, even Emperor Taizu said that the people of the Yan family can be trusted. How can this be false?
Zhu Zhanji recalled what Zhu Yuanzhang said in his dream, and became more confident.

Great-grandfather, have you become an immortal now?As an immortal with vast magical powers, what he said must not be false.

This is my great-grandfather, how can he still cheat me?
When Yan Keng heard this, his nose felt sour and his eyes felt a little moist.

Naturally, he didn't know about Yan Ling's dream, so Yan Keng was deeply moved by Xuande's trust in the orphan before his death.

What kind of trust is this to entrust your youngest son and the entire dynasty to your trust!This is simply the pinnacle of being a minister!
This is what a scholar dies for his confidant.

"I will live up to His Majesty's entrustment!"

He knelt on the ground, his voice choked with sobs, but also firm.

After receiving Yan Keng's answer, Zhu Zhanji finally let go of his hand.He seemed to have settled an important matter on his mind, and his whole body collapsed visibly.

He exhaled and said softly in a loving voice:
"Qi Zhen, I went to be my father."

"If you are not deciding on internal affairs, you can ask the Queen Mother; if you are not deciding on foreign affairs, you can ask Duke Chen Guo. The two of them will assist the government together."

"With these two people here, there will be no chaos in the Ming Dynasty."

"Don't be sad for me, I will watch you from heaven and bless all living beings."

"Qizhen, I hope that with the help of your ministers, you can recreate the era of Yao and Shun!"

These were the last words Zhu Zhanji left in the world, carrying his infinite expectations for his son.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes.
-
In the spring of the [-]th year of Xuande's reign, on the first day of the first lunar month, the emperor did not hesitate and ordered Chen Guogong to enter.

Holding a clang in his hand, he said to him:

"My illness will not come back now. It is destiny that my eldest son, Crown Prince Qi Zhen, will succeed me. The heir is young, but I hope that the Holy Mother and Queen Mother will teach me day and night, and Chen Guogong will devote himself to his guidance."

Kang responded with tears in his eyes.

The emperor smiled and said: "My son should be Yao and Shun."

Then he died at the age of 36.
