Chapter 102 Afterword of Number One in the World
1514 AD.

The first day of the fifth lunar month.

Emperor Tai'a Wu was determined to be missing in the world, just like no one knew where he came from. His departure did not leave a single trace. A heavy stroke was made.

Unparalleled.

What makes future generations elusive is that, according to unofficial records, after Emperor Tai'a Wu disappeared from the world, the Humin Villa and the royal family were all mourning for Tai'e's disappearance, and tried their best to search for his trace within the country.

But Princess Yunluo, the younger sister of Ming Wuzong who deeply loves Tai Ah, doesn't care about Tai Ah's traces at all. Instead, she is full of smiles day and night, full of playfulness, and travels all over the places of entertainment around the capital.

Only that year, the imperial city was full of purple lavender.

From time to time, court ladies saw Princess Yunluo sitting in a lavender garden full of flowers, looking at the stars and chanting.

No one knew who she was talking to and what she was talking about.

In 1515 AD, the seventh day of the first lunar month.

It snowed heavily in the imperial city.

The big and small streets, with brick and tile cornices, are covered with rime and covered with silver.

A cry of a baby came from the Humin Villa.

The second owner of Humin Villa, the son of Duan Tianya, was born and named him Duan Zhengchun.

It is said that this name was given by Emperor Tai'a Wu, and later confirmed by Tai's younger brother Cheng Shifei himself.

On that day, the five ambassadors of gold, wood, water, fire, earth and Princess Yunluo gathered in Humin Villa to congratulate Duan Tianya.

The fire envoy Cheng Shifei and Princess Yunluo accepted Duan Zhengchun as his adopted son on that day. The fire envoy claimed that he would pass on the mantle of the tenth generation disciple of the Vajra Immortal Art to this adopted son who was named by his elder brother.

Princess Yunluo regarded it as her own, and the congratulatory gifts were filled with the treasure house of the Humin Villa, and she personally invited the three wet nurses in the imperial court to take turns taking care of Duan Zhengchun and his mother, Liu Shengpiaoxu.

In 1517 AD, in the tenth month of the lunar calendar, there was an emergency on the frontier of the Ming Dynasty. The Mongolian Prince Boyan knocked on the pass and led an army of 30 to attack.

Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, was not worried but happy. Later generations speculated that he might use this campaign to strengthen the imperial power and weaken the general situation that the people only knew Tai'a but did not know the emperor.

The two sides fought for several days and nights. It is rumored that Zhu Houzhao came to the front line to fight the enemy and even beheaded one person with his own hands.

Cheng Shifei's golden body is immortal, one person directly smashed into the enemy's hinterland, and one person fought hard against the enemy's more than a hundred martial arts masters, from which the ten thousand troops killed more than five thousand enemies.

It has the demeanor of Tai'a Wuhuang's coming to the world, powerful and powerful, one man guards the gate, and thousands of troops fight against change.

Finally, five days later, the Mongolian army had tens of thousands of casualties. Boyan knocked on the pass, silenced the flags and drums, and retreated.

This battle was won.

Zhu Houzhao's Longyan was very happy, and Cheng Shifei, the envoy of fire, was appointed as the second king of Wu, and he was the second rank of the official residence of Tai'a.

In 1518 AD, the twenty-eighth day of the fourth lunar month.

Emperor Tai'a Wu has been missing for four years.

Princess Yunluo drove away all the servants as in previous years, and sat alone in the lavender garden for three whole days without eating or drinking.

According to her personal maid, during these three days every year, Princess Yunluo, who was innocent and joyful earlier, would be alone, looking at the moon, talking in a low voice, vaguely holding a dry lavender in her hand.

Inside the high wall, there would be bursts of wailing and crying from time to time.

But every time these three days passed, Princess Yunluo, with a haggard face and extremely melancholy, would eat and drink again after walking out of the high wall of the flower garden, and instantly regained her usual joy. tears.

In 1520 AD, in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the daughter of Shangguan Haitang, the water envoy, and Guihai Yidao, the wooden envoy, was born, and she was named Guihaiyanhui.

It is said that it was taken by Princess Yunluo.

The implication is self-evident.

In the same year, in July, the daughter of King Wu Cheng Shifei was born, and she was named Cheng Luoye.

It means that the lost leaves will return to their roots soon.

In 1527 AD, Zhu Houcong, the grandson of Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen and the cousin of Ming Xiaozong Zhu Houzhao, succeeded to the throne.

Emperor Jiajing was wise and strict in his early days, implementing continuous reforms, controlling officials strictly, governing the people leniently, rectifying the government, reducing taxes, fighting against Japanese pirates, and revitalizing the state affairs.

In the 25th year of Jiajing, that is, in 1532 AD, in July, the 17-year-old Duan Zhengchun, the [-]th generation successor of the Vajra Immortality Magical Art, opened the golden body for the first time with the help of King Wu Cheng Shifei.

In the same month of the same year, after paying homage to the ancestors Gu Santong and Wuhuang Tai'a, he asked Emperor Jiajing for orders to go to the coast to fight against Japanese pirates.

The young and energetic Duan Zhengchun fell into an ambush by more than [-] Japanese pirates. His subordinates were killed and injured, but he was alone. With an indestructible golden body, he killed more than [-] masters and chased the remaining Japanese pirates for thirty miles overseas. .

When Emperor Jiajing heard about it, his face was delighted, his outstanding military exploits, and Aunt Yunluo's strong recommendation, he was named a second-class uncle, a general of Zhenyuan, and rewarded Shangfang with a golden sword.

The successes in the frontier are repeated, Zhenyuan Duan Zhengchun is immortal, he leads the army to win consecutive battles, and finally rushes to Mongolia hundreds of miles away. The Mongolian Khan has no choice but to raise the flag to negotiate peace. Under the persecution of the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, he signed a series of unequal treaties , pilgrimage every year, and paying tribute every year.

Emperor Jiajing was very satisfied, and appointed Duan Zhengchun, who was still young, as the third King of Wu, with a first-rank official residence.

The Five Envoys of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth and Princess Yunluo congratulated him one after another. That year, the Humin Villa was hung with red lanterns.

1541 AD, Dragon Boat Festival.

The 49-year-old Princess Yunluo is very playful. He watched the dragon boat race on the banks of the Huaihe River. Afterwards, his playful heart became so great that he went into the water and caught the shelduck tied with a red rope as a prize. It was a great joy.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Princess Yunluo, who originally wanted to go to the Tianshan Ice Pool, accidentally contracted a cold and coughed continuously.

A group of servants hurriedly sent him back to Beijing, and the imperial doctors diagnosed him one after another. They all shook their heads and sighed, and they were diagnosed with tuberculosis.

Five important ministers from the Humin Villa came to visit one after another. The second king of Wu, who was 50 years old, tried to forcefully continue the life of Princess Yunluo with the invincibility of King Kong, but with little success.

In 1542 AD, the first day of the first month.

Happy new year.

However, the extremely ill and skinny Princess Yunluo made the entire imperial court fall into silence.

The five important ministers of the Humin Villa, the third Martial King Duan Zhengchun, Gui Haiyi's daughter Gui Haiyan, and others guarded the side of Princess Yunluo day and night.

They took turns using deep qi to extend the life of Princess Yunluo, but they could only hold their breath and kept coughing up blood.

The 50-year-old King Wu, Cheng Zhengfei, looked at the sky full of stars in the other courtyard, stroked his gray goatee, remained silent for a long time, and whispered to himself: "Brother, it's been 30 years, you are so cruel..."

Suddenly heard the bad news from the house.

The second King Wu hurried back to the house. Princess Yunluo was already haggard and dying, and the blood beside the bed was stained with more than a dozen white cloths.

But even at this moment, she was still smiling, or looking back, she tremblingly took out a dry and almost broken lavender from the sachet, leaned against the bed, and said weakly: "You guys, go, go Come on, don't waste your true energy for me, let me and Mrs. Ye stay alone."

As she spoke, she fell into a memory and looked at the lavender.

Everyone hesitated to speak, and finally they walked out of the house under the greeting of Cheng Zhengfei, who was already a father and matured a lot.

Cheng Shifei was the last one to walk out the door. He sighed and said, "Yunluo, you said happy time, why is it gone forever... Sigh."

After saying that, tears welled up in his own eyes, and he closed the door and walked out.

Princess Yunluo finally couldn't hold back, couldn't maintain a weak smile, burst into tears in an instant, and thousands of memories flooded her heart, in the past in the casino, in the palace, in the long-burned East Factory, in Hulong Villa, in the lavender flowers ocean……

I have deceived myself for so many years, forced myself to smile for so many years, really, is it really happy?
The cheers of the past are still echoing in my ears, as fresh as yesterday.

But why is it gone forever?

She whispered to herself: "Ye...too, a hundred years old is too far away, yes, sorry, I, still, so useless, not even half alive..."

Before she finished speaking, her figure had already slid down to the head of the bed, she was about to lose her breath, and hallucinations had begun to appear in front of her eyes.

In the hallucination, she saw endless light coming from endless distances, breaking through the clouds, spreading the courtyard, and then passing through the windows from the courtyard and shining into the house.

A vague figure came from the endless light, holding in his hand a fresh lavender that can revive the dead.

She smiled and cried: "You, here you are."

"I am coming."
