There was a strange light in Tang Yin's eyes, as if his life had opened a window, allowing him to look at the world from a different perspective.
"Sir, don't you believe it?" Zhu Hao asked.
Tang Yin shook his head: "No wonder you have such knowledge. Some people say, 'You are like a bad person when you go to the countryside.' But you came back to the present from five hundred years later. So...how many years have you lived?"
Zhu Hao said: "Not much, more than forty years in the past life plus this life."
Tang Yin laughed when he heard this, but he couldn't help but cough violently because he was so excited.
After he recovered, he asked: "How many years did the Ming Dynasty last? Later... what did this place look like?"
Zhu Hao shook his head: "One hundred and twenty years later, the Ming Dynasty fell at the hands of rogue bandits, but the world was occupied by the Liaodong Jurchen tribe. Later, the world experienced too many changes, including foreign invasions and resistance. I really want to follow you.
I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it in three days and three nights."
"what about me?"
Tang Yin couldn't help but become interested, and there was some sadness in his eyes, "If you, Zhu Jingdao, hadn't appeared, what would my life have been like?"
Zhu Hao did not answer this question for a while.
The relationship between the two was so deep that many things changed just because of Zhu Hao's appearance, but some things were destined to be unknown and did not change much in the end, such as the date of Tang Yin's death.
"Sir, do you know why I said last year was your disaster?" Zhu Hao asked.
Tang Yin understood instantly, nodded and said, "That means, if I hadn't met you, if I hadn't survived the last year, I would have passed away, right?"
"Um."
Zhu Hao did not deny, "The unruly Tang Bohu was impoverished in his later years, and finally died outside the city of Suzhou, which is very sad. But your name Tang Yin has been passed down for hundreds of years. I know your future painting, a
How much is the fan worth? If you tell me, you won’t believe it yourself.”
Tang Yin shook his head and smiled bitterly, and asked: "What's the use?"
Zhu Hao was helpless.
Some things are just like this. If you can't see them while you are alive, what is the practical significance of becoming famous after you die?
You say you want to leave something for this world, but you yourself have already returned to nothingness. No matter how much you leave for this world you don’t know, it is equivalent to zero.
And even if a person leaves nothing to the world, as long as he lives, there are infinite possibilities.
Tang Yin may not have understood it before, but when he was about to die, he saw everything clearly.
Nothing is better than being alive.
Tang Yin asked: "Do you exist in history?"
Zhu Hao shook his head: "I don't know, probably not. My name is not in the history books, and I don't even know why I came to the Ming Dynasty... This is a dream, or something. A lot of history has changed because of me, even if I
Even if I live for five hundred years, it is impossible to go back to my time, and it is impossible for another me to be born."
This involves the issue of parallel universes.
It's a pity that Tang Yin's knowledge level is not up to this level. If he wanted to understand it, Zhu Hao would probably have to talk for three days and three nights.
It was obvious that the two of them could not have that much time to talk by candlelight at night.
We can only talk about some things that are not there.
"Jingdao, let me ask you, if it weren't for you, would His Majesty... would have ascended the throne? Would the late Emperor... have died?" Tang Yin asked seriously.
He also wanted to know what the normal evolution of history was, and how much had changed in the ten years since Zhu Hao's appearance.
Zhu Hao said: "Without me, the late Emperor would still have died of illness in the 16th year of Zhengde, and the throne would have been passed on to His Majesty. My appearance has not changed much. It's just that you, Tang Bohu, will not appear in Prince Xing's Mansion. You will come from Ning."
The prince pretended to be crazy and escaped, hiding all the way back to the south of the Yangtze River, hiding his name until Prince Ning rebelled and was annihilated by Wang Shouren's troops before facing the world again. From the beginning to the end, you had nothing to do with Prince Xing's mansion. And you were in the second year of Jiajing
He died suddenly at home in winter."
Tang Yin pursed his lips, and his heart was beating fast, because he had changed his life against the will of heaven, and at least he had lived for three or four months longer.
Zhu Hao sighed: "You know why I brought you to Prince Xing's Mansion from the beginning, right? Because only in this way can you change your miserable second half of your life. At the same time, you and I will witness one thing together, that is, Prince Xing
The crown prince's accession to the throne.
"I try to minimize all influence and arrangements on the royal family. Even if I have the opportunity to rise through some unconventional channels without passing the imperial examination, I still wait patiently for seven years and become an official by my own efforts until I wait for His Majesty.
ascend the throne."
Tang Yin forced a smile and said: "When you first came to this world, you were too young and couldn't do much."
Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Really? If I can't do anything, why would you follow me?"
"you……"
Tang Yin was speechless for a moment.
Think about it too.
Zhu Hao was already able to do many important things at that time, skillfully maneuvering between Prince Xing's Mansion and the Zhu family, and even took his mother, aunt, and sister to leave Anlu for Nanchang Mansion, almost settling there, and later brought him back to Tang Yin.
Xingwangfu completed a gorgeous transformation from a meticulous craftsman to a distinguished guest in the palace.

Zhu Hao has demonstrated unparalleled skills in his youth and gained respect from others at a young age.
But at that time, Zhu Hao seemed to have dedicated everything to Prince Xing's Mansion and had no plans for his own development. But now it seems that it was because Zhu Hao had known the "destiny" for a long time.
"What would happen without you?" Tang Yin asked.
Zhu Hao said: "Without me, the Great Ceremony Meeting will still happen, but the leader is Zhang Bingyong. In the third year of Jiajing, Yang Gelao and others will step down one after another. At the same time, the Zuoshunmen Incident occurred in this year.
Zhang Cong and Gui Ehui were transferred from Nanjing to the capital and served as Hanlin bachelors. Zhang Bingyong would join the cabinet a few years later and become the first assistant.
"There is neither you Tang Yin nor Huang Gongxian among them. Of course, Huang Gongxian will become an official as the right minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War. If he fails, he will become the Minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War or even join the cabinet as a bachelor. Yang Yingning will still return to the court, and Yang Yingning and Zhang Bingyong will
Conflicts would break out, even to the point of incompatibility. Later, His Majesty would become obsessed with fasting and worshiping, and would not care about court affairs, and did not attend court for twenty years.
"Xia Yan is the chief assistant, Yan Song and his son are in chaos, and the two dragons cannot meet each other... It is actually difficult to explain to you many things. But because of this, the Ming Dynasty also declined, and it came to an end one hundred and twenty years later."
When Zhu Hao said this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Just like what we have experienced in the past, neither you nor I can change it. Perhaps Mr. Tang, when you close your eyes and leave this world in the future, you will also take the memory of the Ming Dynasty to ancient times, to the Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty and even
Song Dynasty, to change everything there.
I hope you will still remember what I told you today - what you have to do is to change the times, not to integrate into the times, but to be a pioneer of the times, even if the future of this pioneer is full of thorns."
Zhu Hao was saying his final farewell to Tang Yin.
Although Tang Yin still had some time to live, he was indeed terminally ill. After the two met, Zhu Hao was busy with official duties and feared that it would be difficult to spare time to see Tang Yin.
Next time I come back, it’s hard to tell whether the yin and the yang will be separated forever.
Tang Yin nodded seriously, as if he had Zhu Hao's advice in mind, although he also knew that in all likelihood, without Zhu Hao's life, he would not have become a time traveler.
Zhu Hao sighed: "Sir, I really hope you can go to the era where I lived five hundred years later for me and tell them what we have experienced here. Although you do not have the skills to live there, with your skills
Your talent, as well as your painting skills, may allow you to gain a foothold in the future. Just pretend that our identities are exchanged, okay?"
Tang Yin smiled bitterly.
After chatting with Zhu Hao for so long, he was actually very tired, but he just worked hard to talk to Zhu Hao.
Tang Yindao: "So, you asked Zhang Bingyong to go to Shaanxi to sharpen him?"
"That's right."
Zhu Hao said, "There must be someone to take my place in the court, so that I can rest assured to complete the unfinished feats in history. I know that there is a territory outside the ocean, with rich products and vast land, why should I
What if you don't focus on that? You ask me to conquer the world and conquer the world. I don't have the energy, but if you ask me to change this era and change the destiny of our Chinese nation, I will still be happy to serve."
Tang Yin shook his head: "It's a pity that I can't be with you."
"Yes, sir, please go first. Sooner or later, you and I will meet in another world." Zhu Hao said.
Tang Yin smiled, the smile was very forced.
Zhu Hao said: "Look, sir, you are tired. If you have heard these things, please don't take it too seriously. Sir, you should focus on recuperation. If you can see the scenery for one more day, don't give up easily. No matter how long you live,
How many more days can I live longer than you? Every day in life is worth cherishing."
"good."
Tang Yin lay down again with Zhu Hao's support.
finally.
Zhu Hao solved the biggest mystery in his heart for him, and he died without regrets.
…
…
When Zhu Hao left the room, Tang Yin had fallen asleep peacefully.
Tang Yin's little wife stood in front of the rockery in the middle courtyard, dazed, as if she had not yet jumped from the joy of a wedding to the pain of being a widow with a posthumous child.
Zhu Hao did not go over to say hello.
Tang Yin was very worried, fearing that Zhu Hao would be too charming and abduct the new lady, so he could only try to avoid suspicion.
Although Tang Yin had not asked him before about whether he had left any heirs during the period of history that Zhu Hao knew, Zhu Hao expected that Tang Yin knew something about it.
Now that everything has been said, he was in poverty in his life, and many things were actually doomed.
Zhu Hao not only changed his life trajectory, but also brought him a stable and prosperous life in his later years that he had not originally enjoyed. However, even if he gained it temporarily, he would lose it forever... The sighs left to Tang Yin in history have transformed into a magical experience of Tang Yin in his later years.
emotion.
Tang Yin instantly changed from a loser in life to a winner in life.
But with this simplest change, can Tang Yin still become a household name hundreds of years later?
There are gains and there are losses.
"Sir, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace."
When Zhu Hao left the Tang Mansion, the carriage had been waiting for a long time.
When Zhu Si returned to the capital by train, the first thing he did was to summon Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao nodded and looked back at the gate of Tang Mansion. He felt familiar yet strange at the same time. His friend was about to leave, and his life was about to enter the next stage.
From helping Zhu Si become emperor, to helping Zhu Si stabilize the court.
Next, Zhu Hao felt that everything had to be planned for himself.
