past events

Since Liu Xuande left, Kong Ming's health has been declining day by day, but for the sake of Dahan, Chan'er, and Yong'er, he must cheer up.

On a clear and bright night, Kong Ming stood alone under the moon and said softly: "Xuande, I will definitely do my best to revive the Han Dynasty!"

Kong Ming stood there for an unknown amount of time, his body was thin, and the night air was cold, but he didn't notice it at all. He didn't realize how cold the night air was until he put a cloak on him. Putting on the cloak, he called softly, "Yong'er!"

"Father, it's cold, so pay attention to your health!" Liu Yong said with concern.

"Yeah, it's getting late, you should go back to the house and rest!" Kong Ming also said to Liu Yong with concern.

"Father, why do you have gray hair!" Liu Yong suddenly asked in surprise.

"They're all in their 40s!" Kong Ming said with a chuckle.

But Liu Yong almost cried, "No, some people are older than their father and have no gray hair!"

Kong Ming didn't know how to answer after hearing this. After all, Liu Yong was still a child. He had worked hard and even exhausted his efforts for the restoration of the Han Dynasty for many years. How should a child understand.

The young master Liu Chan visited Kongming alone. As soon as he entered the prime minister's mansion, he saw a young woman playing the piano under the moonlight. Liu Chan looked at the girl playing the piano and felt extremely happy, but felt that the sound of the piano was so familiar. A song that Kong Ming often plays.

The woman who was playing the piano suddenly realized that there was someone coming, and she quickly saluted: "Your Majesty, Yue didn't know that His Majesty was coming, so I am far away to welcome you!"

"Sister Yue, this is not the imperial court, so why come Your Majesty!" Liu Chan smiled lightly and helped the girl up.

"Chan Lang!" Zhuge Yue called out the title he had been calling since he was a child.

"Sister Yue, your piano sound is very similar to Mr. Kong Ming, no, you should call him 'Father Xiang' now!" Liu Chan asked.

"Chan Lang is too proud. Yue learned the piano from his father since he was a child, but Yue's piano sound is not half as good as his father's!" Zhuge Yue replied modestly.

"Sister Yue, don't be too modest!" Liu Chan said with a light smile, "You and I grew up together since we were young. I have heard Xiangfu's piano countless times, and I can hear it!" Then Liu Chan asked again: "Where is Xiangfu now?" ?”

"To be honest, my father has been tired for many days, and he just took the medicine and is resting!"

Liu Chan sighed softly, "Since that's the case, come back another day, sister Yue, and help me take care of Xiangfu!"

"Yes!" Zhuge Yue replied softly.

Immediately after Liu Chan returned to the palace, he sent an imperial physician to see Kong Ming. Not long after Kong Ming recovered, Liu Chan issued an imperial decree to make Zhuge Yue the empress.

"No, I firmly oppose it!" Kong Ming immediately resisted the order after hearing it.

"Father, why are you resisting the decree!" In Zhuge Yue's memory, his father had always obeyed Liu Xuande and his son, but for some reason he suddenly resisted the decree today.

"Yes, sir, why did you resist the order!" Jiang Wei was also puzzled.

"No matter what, I won't let you enter the palace. I will bear everything that happens!" Kong Ming remained firm.

"Why is this?"

"There are two reasons. First, Gongdou is the cruelest and will kill you at any time. Second, our Zhuge family must not sacrifice our daughters to the emperor and interfere in the government as foreign relatives like those powerful officials before!" Kong Ming sighed. Said, "Yue'er, if you and Chan Lang are ordinary people, I will marry you to him, but—" Kong Ming explained with tears in his eyes.

"Father!" Zhuge Yue suddenly knelt down and cried.

Kong Ming held his daughter in his arms, and the father and daughter cried in each other's arms. Jiang Wei tried his best to persuade them, but they didn't notice that Liu Chan had entered the house.

"Father!" Liu Chan called softly.

Only then did Kong Ming let go of his daughter and wanted to salute Liu Chan, but Liu Chan stopped him, "This is not the imperial court, so there is no need to make such a big salute!"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty, I cannot betroth Yue'er to Your Majesty!" Kong Ming remained firm.

Liu Chan smiled wryly, "I've heard everything you said just now, anyway, since Xiangfu was a precept from others and didn't want to sacrifice his daughter to the emperor, then I won't force it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!"

Liu Chan said to Zhuge Yue, "Sister Yue, although you can't be my wife, you will always be my confidante, my younger sister, and I will protect you for the rest of my life!"

Zhuge Yue thanked him, "Thank you Chan Lang!"

But Liu Chan bowed deeply to Kong Ming, "Father Xiang, Zen lost his mother since he was a child. To Zen, you are Zen's mother. Chan loves you, and a big man will not have a second prime minister except you!"

After hearing this, Kong Ming burst into tears: "Your Majesty! I will not let you down and the late emperor..."

Since then, Kong Ming started the fourth Northern Expedition, and continued to work hard to revive the Han Dynasty. Although he failed to destroy Cao Wei, Kong Ming never gave up. During the last Northern Expedition, Kong Ming had already exhausted his efforts and fell ill.

"Sir!" Jiang Wei knelt beside Kong Ming's bed and cried out.

"Wei'er, my life is not long. After I'm a hundred years old, you must continue to assist Your Majesty," Kong Ming lay on the bed, more haggard than Liu Xuande was back then, a man in his early 50s, his hair was completely pale.

"Weiding never forgets Master's teaching!"

"Also! Yong'er has been crowned king and has a salary every year. I don't need to worry about it. It's just Yue'er, she's a weak girl and hasn't married yet. Yue'er also please—please—"

"Sir, Wei Ding will take good care of Miss Yue!" Jiang Wei replied crying.

Before Kong Ming died, he still endured his discomfort and asked Jiang Wei to take him out of the camp to look to the south—the place where the Shu Han Palace is located. Although it is far away, the Shu Han Palace cannot be seen at all.

At this time, Kong Ming found that the discomfort in his body had disappeared. Liu Xuande was standing in front of him, wearing a red imperial robe, a twelve-pronged crown for emperors, and a pure white Shu brocade cloak. He was still as majestic and heroic as before. Fa, followed by Zhang Yide, Zhao Zilong, Pang Shiyuan and others.

"Xuande!" Kong Ming walked towards Liu Xuande.

A few days later, Kong Ming's coffin was transported to Dingjun Mountain. Liu Chan personally led hundreds of officials to greet him, and all the officials and common people shed tears.
