The most arrogant in history

Chapter 940: Flight Show.

Tan Jingang’s grandfather is Ye Kun’s godson Tan Bamao.

I am over seventy years old this year.

When Ye Kun abdicated, Tan Bamao also resigned from his post as governor of Zhuo County and retired in Zhuo County.

He was first the prefect of Zhuo County and later the governor-general of Zhuo County.

Tan Bamao has worked in this position for twenty years.

He also participated in the nine cabinets and took part in important state affairs.

A real iron-hat king.

Moreover, this age was considered absolute longevity in ancient times.

It can be said that he has a life of wealth and honor, good fortune and happiness, many children and grandchildren, and is a winner in life!

Tan Jingang smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. My grandfather is still on the way and won't arrive until the afternoon."

"No, I'm going to go greet your grandfather."

"Grandpa, my grandfather is your son. How can a father go to greet his son?"

"This..." Ye Kun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Then you can go and welcome your grandfather on my behalf. Tell him to take his time and not to rush on the way. I'll wait for him to have lunch at noon."

"As ordered!"

Tan Jingang took the order and went to meet his grandfather Tan Bamao.

Ye Kun also returned to his own Taihuang Palace and ordered a few more dishes to be prepared for lunch to entertain Tan Bamao.

Ye Kun also specifically instructed: "My godson is old and his teeth may not be good. Cook the lunch dishes softer. Also, don't have too many irritating dishes. Keep them lighter."

Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "Grand Emperor, you treat this godson better than your own son."

Ye Kun laughed and said, "My biological sons are all young, so I don't need to take care of them. But my godson is old, so I need to take extra care of him. I don't want this godson to die before me. I live to be 100, and I hope he lives to be 120!"

In fact, Tan Bamao is only about ten years older than Ye Kun.

Logically speaking, if Ye Kun lived to be 100 years old and Tan Bamao lived to be 110 years old, that would be enough.

The two of them can embark on the road to the underworld together.

Xie Baochan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, our precious son is here. Don't let him go back. Take him with you to Africa. Having him by your side can make you happy, which is better than anything else."

Liu Yuejuan also joined in the fun: "Yes, the ancients wore colorful clothes to entertain their parents and show filial piety. Let this old son follow the emperor and wear colorful clothes to entertain his parents."

Entertaining Parents with Colorful Clothes is a short story in one of the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars.

There is an old man in his seventies who is filial to his parents. In order to make his parents happy, his son in his seventies wears colorful clothes every day, rolls around and does somersaults to make his parents laugh.

According to the thinking of later generations, this family is somewhat abnormal and mentally ill.

What should I do if my son, who is over 70 years old, still does somersaults and breaks his arms and legs?

However, in ancient times, filial piety was highly valued, and entertaining parents with colorful clothes became a beautiful thing.

Ye Kun laughed: "You don't have to dress up to entertain your parents, but you can chat with me occasionally."

At lunch time, Tan Bamao finally arrived.

"Godfather, your son is here to serve you."

As soon as they met, Tan Bamao kowtowed.

"Hurry up, help him up." Ye Kun stood up, waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Although you and I are father and son, you are already old, why do you need such a big gift? Come, sit next to me, and let's have a good chat as father and son!"

However, Tan Bamao was very polite and bowed to Jiang Yourong and others.

Jiang Yourong and the others all stood up and said with a smile, "We are family, so don't be polite. Come and sit down, Bamao. Your godfather was so happy when he heard you were coming that he didn't know what to do. He has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Only then did Tan Bamao take his seat.

His grandson, Tan Jingang, also sat down below.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "You've been traveling so long, let's eat and drink something. After you've had enough, we can chat again!"

"Godfather, I'm not tired."

Tan Bamao chuckled and poured wine for Ye Kun: "Let me toast to godfather and the ladies first."

After three rounds of drinking.

Jiang Yourong said with a smile: "Ba Mao, you are now free from official duties, so why did you think of traveling across the ocean to visit us?"

"My godmother, after I retired, I suddenly had nothing to do and felt uncomfortable. After thinking about it, I decided to follow my godfather. This way, I can live a few more years."

Tan Bamao said, "Now, my children and grandchildren have all grown up. Thanks to my godfather's care, they have all become officials or generals. I don't have to worry about them anymore. I also want to come out and see how big the empire my godfather has conquered is!"

Everyone laughed.

Tan Bamao laughed again and said, "My godfather said that the earth is a sphere, but I still don't quite believe it. I plan to follow my godfather and take a spin on this sphere."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Liu Yuejuan said: "Let your godfather take you on a trip around the world. From Yizhou Island, go eastward. After a year, you will find that you are back to Yizhou Island!"

Tan Bamao nodded repeatedly: "That's what I think!"

"Let's leave the world travel to the young warriors."

Ye Kun smiled and shook his head: "At our age, we can't stand drifting on the sea for a year or two. However, I can take you to the African continent. Along the way, I will let you visit the coastal areas, Qiongzhou Island, Jiaozhi Continent, Tianzhu Continent, and Oil Peninsula.

These places are enough for you to see. When you reach the African continent, the place is even bigger. There are all kinds of strange and bizarre products and animals. Even if you live to be a hundred years old, you still can’t see them all.”

Tan Bamao nodded repeatedly: "Anyway, wherever my godfather goes, I'll go!"

Jiang Yourong was still kind and said thoughtfully:

"Ba Mao, thank you for accepting us as your godparents. But at your age, if you go to Africa and get sick due to the climate, what should you do?

This matter is not to be taken lightly, you should discuss it with your children. And King Kong, you should also consider it.”

Tan Bamao smiled and said, "Godmother, I have thought it through. If I really die outside, just burn me and bring my ashes back. I have also made arrangements with my children. They all agree that I should follow my godfather."

Tan Jingang also said: "Yes, my grandfather follows the emperor, he is in good spirits and will live longer."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Okay, let your grandfather rest for a few days, and then I will take him to run three kilometers to see if he can do it!"

Tan Bamao said with a smile: "Godfather, as long as you take me with you, we can swim to Africa from the sea!"

Everyone laughed.

Can two old men swim from Iju Island to Africa?

After dinner, Ye Kun asked Tan Bamao to rest.

Tan Bamao didn't leave: "Godfather, let me chat with you. Before I came here, Zhuo County held an airplane flight show. Wow, it was so lively."

Ye Kun knew about the air show, there were telegrams and radio broadcasts, but he deliberately asked: "How lively is it? Tell me about it."

Tan Bamao nodded and danced with joy:

"There were three planes that day that participated in the show. Each of the three planes weighed more than 10,000 pounds, all made of iron, yet they could actually fly into the sky!

The officials and people of Zhuo County were all dumbfounded.

Planes flew over Zhuo County and dropped leaflets. The people cheered, saying that the emperor... no, the emperor emeritus was a scholar, a reincarnated god, who could make a pile of steel fly into the sky! "
