Zachary Taylor, the 66-year-old 12th president of the United States who was only in office for 16 months, died of illness during his term of office, just like the old hero Harrison 9 years ago.
After the death of President Taylor, Congress finally passed the compromise bill proposed by Henry Clay, the leader of the Whig Party, and others.
This bill decided to add California to the Union as a free state and establish the two special districts of New Mexico and Utah. For the time being, there was no law on whether slavery was allowed. Slave trading was prohibited in the District of Columbia, and more powerful laws were enacted to help slave owners capture fugitive slaves.
…
In the seemingly eternal darkness and deathly stillness, a faint and hazy light suddenly appeared. As the light spread, a vague voice gradually sounded in this deathly stillness, and it became clearer and clearer.
"… Look, his eyes are moving!"
"That blood can really bring people back to life!"
Who am I?
I'm Zachary Taylor! The 12th president of the United States!
The two voices just now are so familiar!
And, am I not dead?
Zachary Taylor's consciousness returned from nothingness, and he gradually remembered what happened before. Didn't I die of illness?
The feeling of death and the boundless darkness and silence convinced him that he did not remember wrongly.
So what's going on now? Am I in heaven?
Feeling the hazy light in front of him, Zachary Taylor tried hard to open his eyes and see where he was.
Under his constant attempts and efforts, he seemed to have finally regained control of his body. The heavy eyelids slowly opened, and a white ceiling was the first thing he saw.
And in the corner of his eyes, there seemed to be a few figures. Thinking of the familiar voice he heard just now, Zachary Taylor couldn't help rolling his eyes. At the same time, he tried hard to raise his head and look in the direction of the figures.
After waking up from the darkness of death, Zachary Taylor gradually regained control of his body. He also felt that he seemed to be lying on a bed.
With his efforts, Zachary Taylor finally saw the figures standing in front of the bed.
Two of them were Viktor and James, who he was very familiar with!
"Why are you two here? Are you also …?! "
Although Zachary Taylor was still a little weak, his voice still revealed his deep concern for the two.
Obviously, he thought that this was heaven, and if Viktor and James were here, wouldn't it mean that they were dead like him?
"This is our home, of course we're here!"
Viktor looked at Zachary Taylor who had come back to life on the bed. He grinned, revealing two sharp canine teeth, and said in a mocking tone.
"I said we'll meet again if we're fated. It seems like we're fated."
Viktor's tone did not make Zachary Taylor angry. He had long been used to Viktor's "sharp tongue." What he cared about was the meaning behind Viktor's words.
Recalling the two sentences he heard in a daze, Zachary Taylor couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock as he asked the two of them in disbelief.
"You're saying that I'm not dead?!"
Vikter shook his head slightly.
"No! You are already dead! "
Looking at the confusion and confusion on Zachary Taylor's face, Viktor couldn't help but smile proudly before continuing.
"However, you were resurrected by our master!"
Master! Resurrected!
These two sensitive words made Zachary Taylor couldn't help but shift his gaze from Viktor and James to the tall and majestic figure standing beside them.
This is the omnipotent "master" that the two little guys mentioned? I was really resurrected by him?
Zachary Taylor had no doubts about his own death. He experienced the whole process personally, endured the pain of the disease, and clearly felt the whole process of stepping into death. Those feelings couldn't be faked, especially the seemingly endless nothingness and darkness.
It seemed to have passed for a long time, but also seemed to have been a moment of time confusion.
He was sure that he wasn't unconscious or asleep because the feeling was completely different!
As far as Zachary Taylor himself was concerned, he actually believed the fact that he was resurrected after death.
Moreover, these words came from Viktor. Although this brat was arrogant, always liked to go against him, and especially liked to see him suffer, he and James had never lied to him, so Zachary Taylor still believed these words from Viktor's mouth.
It seemed that he really died of illness in the White House, and was "resurrected" by this mysterious "master" in front of him!
Thinking of this, Zachary Taylor couldn't help but carefully size up this long-famous "master".
The first impression that the other party gave him was that he was powerful!
This kind of power didn't only refer to the height and strength of the body, but also the unique aura that the other party exuded.
Although his expression was calm, Zachary Taylor could feel a powerful majesty. This was a unique temperament that could only be produced by being in a high position for a long time, controlling great power and the lives of countless people. It was impossible for ordinary people to imitate it no matter how much they tried.
Zachary Taylor had been in the army for more than forty years. He had been a major general, commanding an army, and finally became the president of the United States that led the entire United States. He could be considered to have been in a high position for a long time, and held extremely great power in his hands. However, whether it was himself, or the domestic and foreign high-ranking officials, politicians, and nobles he had seen, they were far from the powerful majesty of the person in front of him who seemed to control the entire world.
He didn't think that this was his illusion or that the other party was acting, although he didn't know how to explain the other party's powerful majesty. Could it be that the other party was more powerful than the president of the United States or the king of a country?
He wanted to see the answer from Chen Mo's eyes, but when he cast his gaze on Chen Mo's eyes, those deep dark eyes that seemed to contain the entire world and the entire universe almost made him lose himself. These eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. Zachary Taylor felt that his thoughts and his heart were completely exposed in front of the other party, and there were no more secrets to speak of.
Zachary Taylor moved his gaze away from Chen Mo. His expression didn't change much, but his heart was like the sea in a storm, setting off waves that couldn't be calmed down for a long time.
