I don't want to do it, but he has a health bar

Chapter 260: Unfortunately, I'm dying (Subscribe)
While Lu Jing was discussing plans against the alien races with a group of alien leaders in the main hall of the Confucian Temple, Zhang Taiyue was sitting on the steps of the Qianqing Palace with the Emperor Wanchang, who had regained his consciousness, looking at the world outside the deep palace walls.

Although the young Emperor Wanchang was once one of the most noble people in the world.

But he never left the capital.

He even rarely leaves this imperial city.

His life seemed unattainable.

But the scale of his life... is only within this palace.

at this time.

Those ministers who had regained their consciousness also knew that they did not have much time left.

However, many of the high-ranking officials who have reached the position of important officials in the court are already very old.

Their lives have been full of ups and downs, which is quite exciting.

So many of these senior officials are not afraid of death.

They just want to go home and make arrangements for their final arrangements.

At that time, Zhang Taiyue looked at their backs and knew in his heart that the moment of true despair for these high-ranking officials was when they returned home.

Because they no longer have a home.

Not to mention what kind of trouble might arise afterwards.

This huge capital city suddenly became deserted.

And in this deep palace, there is not even a eunuch to be seen.

The young Emperor Wanchang, who only had seven days left to live, did nothing but sat on the steps of the Qianqing Palace, looking at the sky outside the palace, watching the sun slowly move until the sky was filled with sunset glow.

And Zhang Taiyue has always been by his side.

at last.

Emperor Wanchang said, "It turns out that the sunset is so beautiful."

Zhang Taiyue nodded and said, "The sunset glow is always charming."

Emperor Wanchang smiled and said: "As expected of Mr. Zhang, your mouth is full of embroidery."

Zhang Taiyue: “…”

He is sad.

He was filled with sorrow, but didn't know how to express it.

Emperor Wanchang said with a smile: "I never felt that before, and I didn't even think there was anything wrong with the deep palace. But when I found out that I was dying, I suddenly wanted to go outside and take a look."

"What is there outside the capital?"

Zhang Taiyue turned his face away and wiped his sour and warm eyes: "I will take you there. Let's go to Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Chang'an. Let's eat the water banquet in Luoyang, drink the lamb intestine soup in Kaifeng, and eat water basin lamb and fire crystal persimmons in Chang'an..."

"Leave now!"

As he said that, Zhang Taiyue pulled Emperor Wanchang up and prepared to set off.

But Emperor Wanchang just sat there without moving.

Zhang Taiyue turned around and looked at the young man beside him in confusion, not understanding what he was thinking.

Emperor Wanchang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, there is not enough time."

Zhang Taiyue said resolutely, "How can it not be enough? I will go and ask Brother Lu to help us! You know the Supreme Divine Power, right? It will be very fast! In the blink of an eye, even the vast world can be reached."

Emperor Wanchang smiled even more happily: "But if the Min Dynasty wants to rule Zhongzhou, in order to gain status, it must ask Dayu to issue an abdication edict."

"This great ceremony of abdication requires three refusal and many ceremonial preparations."

"It's hard to say how many of the civil and military officials in the court are willing to attend at this time. If I want to visit..."

Emperor Wanchang shook his head: "There are many things to do, seven days is already very tight."

Zhang Taiyue: “…”

Emperor Wanchang is very sensible now.

Just like before he faked his death.

This is probably why he had to endure it until after his own death.

When a person dies, he or she dies.

But through those seemingly excessive actions, on the one hand, he could vent the dissatisfaction that had been pent up in his heart for many years; on the other hand, he could take advantage of the situation to take all the power in the world into his own hands.

This kid...

He has been smart since he was young.

It's because he didn't teach well.

Zhang Taiyue was extremely upset.

Just then, Lu Jing's discussion in the Confucian Temple Hall ended.

He strode to the front of the Qianqing Palace.

He heard what Zhang Taiyue said just now.

So, in order to satisfy Zhang Taiyue's wish, Lu Jing took the initiative to say, "It's just the abdication edict, Brother Taiyue can write it yourself; as for the ceremonies required for the grand ceremony, just leave it to the officials to handle; as for the court officials of Dayu...if they don't come, our officials of the Min Dynasty will make up for it."

Zhang Taiyue gave Lu Jing a grateful look.

Lu Jing smiled and said, "It's just a piece of cake."

So Lu Jing raised his hand and waved, and white clouds lingered around Lu Jing, Zhang Taiyue and Wan Changdi, and then slowly rose into the air.

Lu Jing and Zhang Taiyue were both wearing casual clothes.

Only Emperor Wanchang was wearing a torn crown.

Without waiting for Emperor Wanchang to speak, Lu Jing raised his hand and waved it. A ray of spiritual light enveloped Emperor Wanchang, and in the blink of an eye, his crown was changed into casual clothes.

Emperor Wanchang smiled when he saw this: "It turns out that those with advanced cultivation have such convenient abilities. If I had known this, I would have practiced it earlier."

Lu Jing smiled and said, "This may seem simple, but it is not easy to do."

Cultivation is not some kind of practice or strange novel.

Anyone can master the magic of turning stone into gold and creating something out of nothing.

That's just the imagination of ordinary people.

in contrast.

What a true practitioner can do is nothing more than an extension of his own power.

We must also act in accordance with legal principles.

soon.

Lu Jing and the other two arrived in Luoyang City, not far from the capital.

Luoyang is also a thousand-year-old capital. It is located in the center of the world and is named after its location on the south bank of the Luo River.

It is also one of the birthplaces of Central Plains civilization, with a history of more than 9,000 years.

It is the starting point of the Tianhan Silk Road and the center of the ancient Sui Canal.

Throughout history, more than ten dynasties have established their capitals here.

Taoism originated here.

Confucianism flourished here.

The rich culture and prosperity here are not inferior to that of the capital.

The Luoyang water banquet is a famous delicacy known far and wide.

Luoyang Water Banquet has a total of 24 dishes, including eight cold dishes, four large dishes, eight medium dishes, and four table dishes, including hot and cold, meat and vegetarian, sweet and salty, sour and spicy.

Even the order in which the dishes are served is extremely particular.

Eight cold dishes were served first as appetizers, each dish was a combination of meat and vegetables, for a total of sixteen items.

Serve hot dishes after guests have had three rounds of drinks.

First, four large hot dishes were served, each followed by two accompanying dishes, which was euphemistically called "bringing children to court."

Finally, four dishes are served, one of which is egg soup, also known as farewell soup, to indicate that the table is full.

Hot dishes in the water banquet must be served with soup. Chicken, duck, fish, wild delicacies, mushrooms and seasonal vegetables are all used in the dish. They can be shredded, sliced, striped, chunked or diced, and fried, stir-fried, deep-fried or roasted, with endless variations.

Eating this feast not only satisfies your appetite, but also allows you to experience the authentic Central Plains table manners.

The complicated and particular way of eating it reminded Lu Jing of a question he had seen on the Internet before.

At that time he was in the Eastern Kingdom on Earth.

Because of a century of weakness, foreigners wreaked havoc.

Even though the power of the University of Tokyo as a nation has shocked the world, it is still beaten culturally, and even has many sheep-worshippers and banana people.

They asked online, "Why doesn't the University of Tokyo have table manners like those in the West?"

The original intention of this question was to belittle the history of the University of Tokyo.

But Todai has never lacked talent.

One answer was pushed to the top:

"The table etiquette of Dongda University has already started from the moment you received the invitation, but you are just smug about the inappropriate things on the table."

The question was then deleted shortly afterwards.

At that time, Lu Jing was very excited about the table manners but he did not realize how complicated the table manners at Dongda University were.

Until today, he is still fascinated by the eating style and etiquette of Luoyang water banquet.

So after Lu Jing finished eating, he immediately fled with Zhang Taiyue and Wan Changdi.

He hates all this formality!
I also increasingly understand that the so-called table manners in the West in the past were just a cumbersome thing that was just pretended for the sake of being pretentious!
Depend on!
Just eat!
Why is it so important which direction the fish head faces?
Seeing Lu Jing's depressed look, Zhang Taiyue's mood improved a lot. He laughed and said, "I didn't expect that you, a master of supreme magical power, would be so weak at the dinner table!"

Lu Jing's face twitched, and he said fiercely with a stern face: "Lu is not good at table manners, but he is very good at preparing ingredients."

Any mountain goblins or wild monsters can be killed with just one knife!

and so!
Lu Jing said proudly, "When I eat, I value freshness. I can slice the beef monster with a knife even if it's exposed to the sun. This is the true taste of the food. Brother Taiyue, let's go. I'll treat you to beef monster sashimi."

Raw sashimi is also called sashimi.

Zhang Taiyue: “?”

To be honest, Lu Jing, you are going too far!

There are children here!

Emperor Wanchang laughed and said, "I also want to see Mr. Zhang eating the raw meat of the bull monster."

Zhang Taiyue frowned and swung his sleeves: "Nonsense!"

Chatting and laughing, the three of them took advantage of the night to arrive in Kaifeng, strolled around, ate Kaifeng's mutton hotpot, and after resting for ten thousand minutes, they enjoyed a wide variety of Kaifeng dishes in a big restaurant in Kaifeng early the next morning.

At night, the three of them rushed to Chang'an without stopping.

It was late at night.

A month in Chang'an, thousands of households slapped their clothes.

Walking on the quiet streets of Chang'an, the three of them found a random restaurant, ordered mutton in a basin and some hot appetizers and started eating them.

after that.

Huangshan, Huashan, Jiangcheng, Huaicheng...

They would often go wherever Emperor Wanchang thought of.

Where there is a will, there will be action.

Finally, on the fourth day, Emperor Wanchang arrived at Mount Tai under the leadership of Lu Jing.

Standing on the top of Mount Tai, overlooking the clouds and mountains, the vast rivers are like giant dragons crawling on the ground, which is extremely magnificent.

Especially when the morning sun pierces through the horizon and the brilliant light illuminates the entire earth, the golden and red morning glow interweaves into a masterpiece above the white, rolling sea of ​​clouds.

At this moment, no description in words can be as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.

At this moment, people can truly appreciate the wonders of heaven and earth.

Only then can we truly understand the insignificance of human beings.

Emperor Wanchang stared blankly into the distance.

At the end, a line of tears slid across his expressionless face.

"It turns out that this world is so magnificent and charming."

"The imaginary scenery we only know from the writings of our ancestors is nothing compared to the true magnificence of the world."

After saying this, Emperor Wanchang slowly closed his eyes.

"It's a pity that I didn't leave the imperial city until now and saw the charming mountains and rivers."

"pity……"

"I'm dying."

There was a strong wind on the top of the mountain, and the three people's clothes fluttered.

After Emperor Wanchang finished speaking, the top of Mount Tai became exceptionally quiet.

After a long time.

Emperor Wanchang resolutely turned around and said, "I should go back."
