Chapter 1 The emperors are reunited in the underworld

In the 17th year of Emperor Emperor's reign, the mountain monument collapsed.

The man in the emperor's uniform lies on the collapse and lost his breath. The tiger eyes that shocked the world during his lifetime closed and could no longer watch the country he had built with his own hands.

Several important officials and the princes stood on both sides, with a solemn expression. The palace concubines knelt in the side room through the curtains, and a faint sob sound came out. The eunuchs from the palace outside the palace knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

Crown Prince Li Derun stood on one side, his face pale. His servants were wearing the emperor's crown and court robes for him, and the servants also served the emperor's six seals.

Zong Zheng choked and asked to go closer to him, "Emperor Daxing has passed away. Please go to Chongzheng Hall immediately to ascend the throne to the precepts!"

The crown prince looked sad and nodded almost invisible. He turned around and kowtowed to the Emperor Daxing three times. After the ceremony, he stood up solemnly and headed towards Chongzheng Hall.

The emperor is surrounded by all directions, but the heights are so cold. The mother passed away three years ago, and now the father has passed away, he is truly alone.

The sky was dim, tears rolled down from his eyes and fell silently to the ground.

Although the emperor of Daxing is dead, his soul is still there. He stands on the side of the bed, watching his eldest son leave reluctantly, and said sadly: "The road from Jianzhou to Quanzhou has begun to be built. Never stop because of my great journey. There are many old ministers in the court, and redundant officials are gradually arising. You must calm down and slowly walk. Don't take too much steps. Since I was ill, the Northern Rong has been repeatedly moved. News of my great journey has come out. They must make some moves. They must be cautious and be impatient..."

The messenger from the underworld drove the hearse from the void, making a rumbling sound, and the time for parting came.

At the last glance at his son's resolute and upright back, the Emperor Daxing burst into tears: "Run'er, you and your brothers are all fine!"

...

Emperor Daxing's surname was Li, his name was Yuanda, and he died on May 16, the Gengzi year, at the age of forty-nine.

He made great achievements throughout his life, created the imperial rule and benefited the people, and began the four hundred years of Zhou Dynasty rule.

The posthumous law says: "The heaven and earth are called Wen, the morality is called Wen, the knowledge is called Wen, the diligent study is about asking, the knowledge is called Wen, the kindness and kindness of the people is called Wen, so he decided to be Wen, and the temple name is Gaozu, which is Emperor Gaozu Wen.

...

When Emperor Gaozu was in the human world, he was protected by the laws of heaven. After his death, he was also an extraordinary ghost. He was respectfully invited to the underworld by a group of secret messengers. After recording his famous books in front of the King of Hell, he was also aware of his outstanding achievements in his lifetime. The Ten Palaces of Hell demarcated merits and demerits, and was able to transcend the human world and be immortal.

After all, he was the Emperor of the World. After crossing the threshold of life and death, Emperor Gaozu only lost his mind for a few days, and soon turned around and asked the servants to lead the way and toured the underworld with great interest.

It is very interesting to see the ghostly Wangxiangtai, enjoy the flowers of the other side that stretch thousands of miles, and visit the solemn Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva with the solemn appearance of the treasure. It is used to seeing the mountains and rivers of the world, and then traveling to the underworld.

The emperors on earth who died in various time and space dimensions came to the underworld. The Ten Palaces of Yama evaluated their merits and deeds and made remarkable achievements. It is said that the emperors of later generations could be ghosts and gods, and lived in the underworld for a long time and were immortal. Emperor Gaozu was also assigned to this area.

The day after he settled in the underworld, someone sent a visit to him. Emperor Gaozu opened it and couldn't help laughing: "It's still my own family..."

His eyes quickly swept the greeting letter, and he asked the ghost servant who was standing in the hall: "Which emperor is the surname Shimin of Li? I have never heard of it, do you know?"

The ghost servant said respectfully: "This is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He opened the prosperous era of Zhenguan. He is also one of the few wise kings in the spatial dimension. His posthumous title is Wen and his temple name is Taizong. He came earlier than you and was also the owner of the western mansion." After saying that, he detailed the life merits and demerits of Emperor Taizong Wen.

"Oh?" Emperor Gaozu listened with great interest and smiled: "I am the first family, and the posthumous title is also the same as Wen. I really want to meet such a destined person."

The agreed time on the greeting post was tomorrow, but Emperor Gaozu could not hold back and ordered the ghost servant to take the burial wine from the treasure house and personally carried it to the west mansion to visit.

Li Shimin heard the ghost servant tell you that a new emperor named Li came next door. He also felt that the fate was so clever that the ghost servant handed over a letter of worship. He didn't want to visit the mansion that day.

He went out to greet him in person and saw that the visitor was about thirty years old, tall and handsome, and could not hide his power. He felt a little appreciative in his heart. He smiled and greeted each other, and felt quite sympathetic about each other. He also ordered the ghost servants to hold a drink and have a banquet, so that they must be drunk before they can stop.

Emperor Gaozu was a heroic person, and Li Shimin was not a stingy person. When it came to his fun, he took his weapons to the martial arts field to compete. After a hundred moves, he couldn't do anything to each other. The two laughed and returned to the banquet to drink together.

After more than half an hour of drinking, the two of them couldn't help but talk about their experiences when they were emperors in the world. After discussing government affairs, they talked about their children and wife's houses.

Emperor Gaozu sighed and cried, "My wife, Xu, was gentle and virtuous. When she was young, she was with me. She was a partner of God. When I was angry, the ministers did not dare to advise her. Only she dared to speak out. It's a pity that the sky was not over again, and she left first. She was not afraid of making fun of me. If it weren't for her children, I really wish I could not go with her..."

Li Shimin was touched by love, thinking of Empress Changsun, who died early, she burst into tears: "Isn't that the same? My wife, Guanyin maid, is virtuous, and she is truly a mother in the world. When I wanted to kill Wei Zheng, the country bumpkin, I was persuaded by her - but the heavens did not give mercy. Guanyin maid passed away early, it is said that men will not cry easily, but if they are sad, especially humans can control it?"

When the two of them talked about this, they really felt the same and felt even more sad.

Emperor Gaozu wiped his tears and said, "Short after Empress Xu left, my little daughter died of illness. She was our youngest child. She was only six years old. Before I could choose a prince consort for her, I had no time to designate the richest fief for her, so she went with her mother. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man..." Speaking of this, tears that were finally stopped flowing out.

Li Shimin burst into tears: "My rhino! I gave my daughter this name in the hope that she is healthy and sick, but I didn't expect that... The child was only twelve years old when he went there!"

The two emperors on earth cried bitterly, and those who heard it were all sad and crying.

Zhu Yuanzhang came in with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but sneer: "A man, why should he be a child? He cried and made people laugh! I heard that Li Yuanda came from a new family, but he was born in a wild place but ascended the throne, and he thought he was a talkative person. I didn't expect that you saw you two crying here as soon as you entered the door. It was so embarrassing!"

Emperor Gaozu was not angry or wiped his tears, but said, "People's hearts are all flesh. Is the emperor different from ordinary people? I and Shimin thought about the early death of their virtuous wife, and they also had the trouble of having a young daughter die prematurely, so they were sad and crying, and they made the Lord laugh."

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered Empress Ma and his beloved son Zhu Biao, who died early. His face dissipated, his expression became gloomy. He pulled a chair and sat down, and said in a muffled voice: "Pour me a glass of wine."

Emperor Gaozu poured wine for him himself and asked again: "What do you call this brother?

"He was named Zhu, Yuanzhang, and his courtesy name was Guorui," Li Shimin briefly introduced a few words and said, "He started with a bowl and became the emperor, and he was also an extraordinary person."

Emperor Gaozu smiled and said, "It turns out that it is Brother Zhu, who is disrespectful and disrespectful."

"So what about the emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and burst into tears: "Even the old wife and son can't be kept, and after death, the children and grandchildren...ah, it's better not to say it!"

The three of them had their own thoughts, and no one spoke. The night wind was howling, and a shrill scream came into their ears, and even the smell of blood seemed to be added to their noses.

Emperor Gaozu's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously followed the direction of the sound and bloody smell, but Li Shimin patted his shoulder: "No need to worry, it's nothing big, it's just Ying Zheng beat his son at home."

Emperor Gaozu was confused: "Which emperor is Ying Zheng? His son must be the emperor of Shengming who can get here, so why should he fight?"

"You don't know anything about this," Zhu Yuanzhang added him a glass of wine and said gloatingly: "Ying Zheng is the first emperor in the world where Li Shimin and I live. He is known as Zulong, and has great achievements. He is truly the emperor of the ages. He lives with him not an ordinary son, who abandons the government affairs and kills all his brothers and sisters. A huge empire was destroyed by him, and even the Ten Palaces of Yama can't stand it. He is allowed to come here to atone for his sins, and he is ping the anger of Shihuang."

Emperor Gaozu understood: "So that's it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and gloomy figure appeared in front of the door. Ying Zheng held the sword in his hand and sneered: "How much better are you than me? Sun Sha'er, Er Kill Sun, laugh at her fifty steps!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was poked into the pain point by him and suddenly changed color. He then stood up and distinguished it from him. Emperor Gaozu and Li Shimin held him down from left to right: "Drink and drink, and calm down!"

Ying Zheng snorted, and his tiger eyes fell on the faces of the three people in the seat, and a hint of suspicion flashed across his expression. Finally, he looked at the only stranger, Emperor Gaozu, and said strangely: "You are the new Li Yuanda? Have you all cried?"

"That's right, the First Emperor is polite." Emperor Gaozu performed a kindness among his peers to him, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "We think of deceasing our wife and children early, and we couldn't help but feel sad, so we burst into tears."

"This doesn't matter to him," Li Shimin snorted and said, "He has never made a queen, and his children, and there is nothing particularly close to and favored. He just wants to unify the six kingdoms and live forever, and is not distracted by these things."

Emperor Gaozu was surprised: "Oh?"

Ying Zheng was tall and said proudly: "I am in the world, and I am intimidating the eight wildernesses. The three emperors of merits and demerits, and the five emperors of virtue. How can anyone in the world be able to go along with me? You are so entangled in the love between children, it is really a woman's attitude!"

Liu Che walked over with brisk steps and said sarcastically: "It is because you are so mean and sharp that your son is afraid. After receiving a fake edict, he committed suicide in dishearteningly."
