The most arrogant in history

Chapter 754: Man is about to die.

Ye Feng nodded: "I understand. Father is worried that I will become a tyrant and spend money recklessly, leading to fiscal deficits, people's livelihood being in dire straits, and wars everywhere, right?"

Ye Kun nodded: "Yes, that's what I'm worried about."

"But it's useless for your father to worry. At Wu Qiong's age, he will always be older than me. By the time I ascend the throne, Wu Qiong might be dead. Even if he's not dead, he'll be in his seventies or eighties."

"You kid, tell the truth."

Ye Kun chuckled: "I will abdicate soon and lead my troops to conquer overseas. I will leave the nine provinces of China to you. But you are young after all, and I am worried about many things."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Father, there is no need to abdicate in a hurry. Your son is still young, and it won't be too late to take over when he is fifty. By then, your son will be old and lack energy, so he will naturally not make any trouble."

"No, in about five years, I will definitely step down and help you take over and preside over the overall situation in China."

Ye Kun shook his head and sighed, "Let's have a meeting in a few days to discuss Wu Qiong's resignation."

Ye Feng nodded and continued to accompany his father in government affairs.

After lunch, Ye Kun wanted to rest for a while, but Huang Ye came to report: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Prince of Wei's Palace that Xiahou Chang is critically ill and probably won't be able to hold on for much longer."

Ye Kun frowned: "Xiahou Chang, is he going to die?"

"Yes, it is said to be a complication of diabetes. He can't urinate, his whole body is swollen, and he is dying."

"understood."

Ye Kun was stunned for a moment, then ordered, "Prepare the car, inform Concubine Zhu and Concubine Jie to come with me to visit Xiahou Chang. Oh, and send a telegram to Tianzhu to inform Xiahou Jun."

Huang Ye asked: "Your Majesty, do you want Xiahou Jun to come back for the funeral?"

"I just asked you to inform him, I didn't ask him to come back for the funeral!" Ye Kun glared.

Xiahou Jun was still leading troops in Tianzhu, and when he came back to attend the funeral, he was unable to see him for the last time.

Huang Ye shuddered and quickly ordered his men to do it.

"Old Huang, I had a bad attitude just now and spoke a little aggressively, please don't mind it."

Ye Kun sighed and went to find sisters Xiahou Zhu and Xiahou Jie.

The Xiahou sisters had not received the news yet and were chatting, basking in the sun, and teasing the two little princes in the palace.

Seeing Ye Kun, the Xiahou sisters bowed together: "Why is the emperor here?"

"I came to see you sisters and the children."

Ye Kun patted the little prince's head and told them to go play. Then he whispered, "I just got the news that the King of Wei is seriously ill and is on his deathbed..."

"Oh, my father died of illness?"

The Xiahou sisters each shed tears.

"Life is full of birth, aging, sickness and death. You don't have to be sad." Ye Kun sighed, "Change your clothes and come with me to see the King of Wei. I have summoned the imperial physician to do his best to treat him."

The Xiahou sisters hurriedly changed their clothes and followed Ye Kun to the Prince of Wei's Palace.

Unexpectedly, Xiahou Chang was still alive and not dead yet.

But he is conscious.

It means that the eyes are blind and cannot see anything at all.

Upon hearing that the emperor had arrived, Xiahou Chang struggled a bit on his sickbed.

"Lord Xiahou, please stop being so polite and lie down."

Ye Kun stepped forward and held Xiahou Chang's hand: "I brought you the best doctor and the best medicine, and I will definitely cure you. You should also have some confidence and cheer up!"

"Your Majesty, I have sinned against the heavens, and there is no one to pray for..."

Xiahou Chang closed his eyes, but two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks: "The emperor is merciful and has taken good care of me, so I am still alive today. Logically, I should have died a long time ago. Living for another ten years is a gift from the emperor."

“What nonsense are you talking about…”

Ye Kun held Xiahou Chang's hand and said, "Lie down and let your two daughters talk to you."

It seems that Xiahou Chang is really in bad shape, and Ye Kun doesn't want to talk to him any more.

"No, Your Majesty!"

Xiahou Chang used all his strength to grab Ye Kun's hand and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you... to take care of my unworthy descendants, so that they can live, peacefully... calmly..."

"You, Lord Xiahou, still think the same as before. Do you think I will bully your children and grandchildren when you are gone?"

Ye Kun shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, your children and grandchildren will definitely live better than you. In this peaceful and prosperous era, everyone will live a good life with plenty of food and clothing."

A smile appeared on Xiahou Chang's face: "Your Majesty, you are still... the same emperor as before, a good man, a good man."

Ye Kun smiled faintly and happily received a Good Guy Card.

The Xiahou sisters stepped forward to speak, but Xiahou Chang shook his head: "I just want to... talk to the emperor..."

Ye Kun shook his head and asked the Xiahou sisters to step aside. He asked, "Master Xiahou, do you have any unfinished business in your mind?"

Xiahou Chang took a breath:

"If there is anything unfinished, it's that my life span is a little short... I'm not even sixty years old yet. I can't see the new inventions and technologies that the emperor has developed, and I feel dissatisfied."

Ye Kun thought about it and comforted him:

"In fact, many of the King of Wei's peers died in their teens, so they really didn't see the new technology. The King of Wei saw our steam engines, trains, ships, muskets and cannons, as well as glass, brown and white sugar, and flying balloons. It can be said that he opened his eyes."

"That's true..." Xiahou Chang suddenly smiled: "A few years ago, when I was still able to see things, I used a telescope in the planetarium to look at the moon. I was content."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "There are some things you haven't seen. Let me describe them to you. Tell me what you want to hear."

Xiahou Chang took another breath and asked intermittently, "The emperor mentioned...the plane, can it be made?"

"We have already started research on the aircraft. We expect a breakthrough in ten years. After twenty years, we will be able to carry people into space. After fifty years, the technology will be mature and can be put into civilian use."

Ye Kun boasted boldly: "The largest plane can carry 300 people. At that time, our descendants will only need half a day to fly from Zhuo County to Loulan in the Western Regions."

"That's great, that's great."

Xiahou Chang's throat moved, and he asked again: "Then...will the phone call reach Loulan?"

"Wireless broadcasting and telephones are being studied. In three to five years, global wireless communication will be realized." Ye Kun suddenly missed the smartphones of the future and said with a smile:

"In fifty or a hundred years, we will have smart wireless mobile phones. Moreover, every citizen will have one, the size of a palm. Not only can we transmit voice over a long distance, but we can also use high-tech means to see the other person's smile and every expression."

Xiahou Chang couldn't understand and frowned, "Could it be that the emperor is trying to comfort me, can such a magical weapon really be created in this world?"

"For modern people, high-tech products are all magical tools. You can see our cars and trains. They don't eat grass or drink water, but they can travel thousands of miles a day."

"That's true, but unfortunately I can't see it, I can't see it..."

Xiahou Chang's voice became smaller and smaller.

Ye Kun opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped himself, and called the Xiahou sisters to come forward.

A stick of incense later, Xiahou Chang passed away.

Ye Kun cursed in his heart.

This old guy fought with Ye Kun for many years, causing a large number of casualties in Chang'an and the Central Plains, and also harming Ye Kun badly.

Everyone in Prince Wei's palace began to prepare for the funeral.

Ye Kun bowed deeply three times in front of Xiahou Chang's body, and then said goodbye.

As for Xiahou Chang, Ye Kun had no intention of keeping vigil for him.

It's not necessary.
