Chapter 49

Everything in this world will be as predicted on the Eastern Emperor's astrolabe. Regardless of the process, the ending is doomed. Taiyimen, who served the Eastern Emperor, usually added a sentence when promoting this doctrine: the result is doomed, but the process depends on your personal karma.

In a sense, she inspired the Chu Kingdom, which had finally risen for eight years, and finally died in her hands.

And Xuan Jingchen, the ruler of destiny, in the order leaked at that time, was to end the domination of the Zhongli dynasty.

But no one knows how long she can rule the young Qing Kingdom, this is the variable left by Donghuang in the established fact.

Zhong Li's family came from the east of Lizhou, and his ancestors held the dragon-killing sword Guhong and ruled this continent for more than 900 years. Because of belief, this dynasty has stood for nearly a thousand years. But when belief collapsed, some thoughts that dare not exist floated up.

During the reign of Emperor Ling of Chu, the struggle between the Li and Yang families affected many nobles with floating minds. Ten years ago, when the King of Zhongzhou rebelled in the name of the Qing monarch, he revealed to the nobles that Zhong Lichen was the order of the fallen monarch.

So the nobles thought that the emperor of the East had punished, and the country where Zhongli's home was close to a thousand years was about to collapse.

They waited and watched, watching the beheading of the King of Zhongzhou, seeing the Emperor Thorn leaving the state heir, and finally waiting for another order to come out.

When Xuan Jingchen, the great general of the army and horses in the world, was given marriage to Prince Zhaoming by the Emperor Tsassin, Yu Jiantiansi got a shocking result. The nobles suddenly realized that the Emperor Thorn married the future lord of the world to the crown prince simply because he wanted the princess to be able to take care of the prince Zhaoming in the future.

None of them are optimistic about Prince Zhaoming, even if she is unparalleled and talented. Such talent, in the Taiping period, may be able to become an emperor that has been passed down through the ages, but it is useless in the time of Chu State's crisis.

The state of Chu is no more. With this thought in mind, they are more or less inclined to the future monarch Xuan Jingchen. But there are some pretentious families who have other ideas.

For example, in the third year of Yuanhe, the Li family who launched the Liangshui rebellion was. Another example is Xu Mingyi from the Xu family who was originally a second-rate family in Yuanzhou City.

In the year when Prince Zhaoming ascended the throne, Xu Mingyi, like many families, showed his favor to Emperor Zhaoming. Because of his son Xu Renqing, the Xu family was quickly accepted by the queen and entrusted with important tasks. The Xu family suddenly became a powerful person in the court, and Xu Mingyi felt that he could finally fulfill his grandfather's wish, and the Xu family could also have a strong ear.

During the Wanzhou Rebellion, he did something to kill Emperor Zhao, and went north to support Xuan Jingchen's ascension to the throne.

He did a great job, and the Xu family got what they always wanted. The only dissatisfaction is that, as a father, he cannot make the marriage of his eldest son Xu Renqing happy.

Later, Xu Mingyi thought, fortunately, the eldest son has never been favored by Xuan Jingchen, otherwise, what if he turned his face in the future? I'm afraid it will be another twist.

Such an idea came to him after he saw the Taoist Tsing Yi again.

Twelve years ago, Xu Mingyi, who was still a general in Zhongzhou, met Nianwang for the first time. When they met for the first time, he and Nianwang hit it off, and Nianwang took a word test for him.

He said that in the future, he would be under one person and more than ten thousand people, and also vaguely revealed that the king of Zhongzhou was not a minister, so he quickly adjusted the defense. He obeyed Nianwang's advice, and within a year, the king of Zhongzhou rebelled, and all officials in Zhongzhou were demoted.

His friendship with Nianwang became even deeper. With his help, he sang all the way and ascended to the position of Zuocheng. The friendship between them finally came to a complete change half a year after Xuan Jingchen took the throne.

Half a year ago, he helped Xu Mingyi make a decision and waited for Yuanzhou city to break the hope, and suddenly gave him a big gift when they met, and revealed the reason why he took the initiative to befriend him back then.

But it turned out that Xu Mingyi also had the gift of the East Emperor.

"Master Xu, they all say that Emperor Qing is the Lord of Destiny, but what will happen to the Lord of Destiny after he ascends the throne? Does the astrolabe say anything? Of course, the astrolabe says it, but the Superintendent of Heaven has not said it all. Emperor Qing can't be enthroned. In ten years, the country will change its owner." The middle-aged Taoist vowed and said to him, "And the master who takes over the Qinghuang Jiangshan is you."

Xu Mingyi has a new goal. The puppet dynasty can be the emperor, and Xuan Jingchen can be the emperor. They are all officials of the Chu State, so why can't he become the ruler of the country.

Once there is ambition, everything after that has a clear plan. Nianwang went to Subei for him, seeking a situation where Xuan Jingchen's troops could be contained in the future. Nianwang once told him that when the commander of Qinglan who was protecting Xuanjingchen died, they could come to the country.

Nianwang planned with his heart and mind, and he asked Nianwang what he wanted. What Tai Dao people wished was nothing but the position of commander-in-chief under one person and above ten thousand people. Every big commander will be handed down in the annals of history. Xu Mingyi learned of his thoughts, so he gradually calmed down and prepared with him to achieve this ten thousand miles of land.

Xu Mingyi, who knew the characters of the two children, did not reveal his thoughts. He also had his own concerns, but he was more confident. Compared with the young Xuan Jingchen, he has enough experience to cope with the changes of the court. He is old, and before he is old, another feat will be accomplished.

So when he received Nianwang's message today, Xu Mingyi knew that his great cause would soon be completed.

On August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion is also a time to realize their dreams, and it is suitable for them to start.

Besides, Nianwang also gave him a message. Nianwang, who has not been to Yuanzhou for a long time, made an astonishing discovery. Nianwang met the prince of Zhongzhou, Zhong Licheng.

This is a pawn that can be used, Xu Mingyi thought, especially Nianwang also said that Zhong Licheng revealed the cause of Emperor Zhao's death.

Xu Mingyi summed it up and decided to make good use of this chess piece.

Xu Mingyi, who was thinking about how to use Zhong Licheng, was completely unaware that the Taoist who he had gradually trusted after more than ten years was also using him. After all, Tai Tao's loyalty to serving the monarch has never disappointed.

But unfortunately, the person Nianwang really serves is not him.

Late at night, a crescent moon hangs in the sky, Nianwang rides the wind and comes out of a yard in the suburbs of Beijing.

He came to Zhuang Zili's residence a few days ago, but unexpectedly found that the old medical worker, who was with Young Master Yang Wang in Hongwen Pavilion when he was young, was visited by the supervisor of Tiansi.

As early as many years ago, Nianwang had contact with Zhuang Zili in order to let him take care of the frail Zhong Lishuo.

But after Zhong Lishuo was eight years old, Nianwang left the palace and had to flee everywhere, and in the end never saw each other again.

Another contact was when Zhong Lishuo was enthroned.

Zhuang Zili told him the news of Zhong Lishuo's poisoning. Nianwang immediately investigated the reason, and finally found that the initiator was Zhong Licheng, who no one would notice.

Zhong Licheng turned his back on Nianwang and secretly poisoned Zhong Lishuo.

Nianwang didn't kill him immediately, because he still needed Zhong Licheng at that time. Later, he wanted to kill, but he couldn't kill it, all because this changed boy ran to Qinglan's realm.

Zhuang Zili, who knew nothing, was so worried about Zhong Lishuo's body, waiting for Nianwang to bring the antidote to Zhong Lishuo. In the end, he waited until the city of Yuanzhou was broken, and waited for Xu Mingyi's words.

An angry Zhuang Zili hid this secret and never quit his job again. He always thought that it was the empress who murdered Emperor Zhao, and he went into seclusion with such heartache.

Therefore, when Si Ming asked again today, Zhuang Zili explained the secret, he did not tell the Empress directly, but just said: "Master Si Ming, please also ask Your Majesty for me, how many years of sleeping Are you still at ease on the couch?"

Nian Wangle thought that Zhuang Zili misunderstood the queen so much, who made Xuan Jingchen, who is Zhong Lishuo's pillow, not protect her well. He originally planned to make Zhuang Zili stunned, and he should stab Xu Mingyi with a stab by Si Ming. Who would have thought that Zhuang Zili would come by himself.

So good.

Nianwang thought so, and walked out of Zhuang Zili's Zhuangzi. But he never thought that after the ministers left, he felt that he did not have the courage to face the powerful Zhuang Zili, and he died in depression.

But it doesn't matter, Nianwang doesn't need a witness anyway. He didn't want to discredit Empress Zhao, what he wanted to do was to give Empress Zhao a peace.

Everything went according to Nianwang's plan, and he felt very satisfied.

He rode the moon, like a ghost in the world, swaying back to the palace.

The night disappears with the day, and the days pass like water. As spring draws to a close, the scorching summer finally comes. With the arrival of summer, there are also the northern waiters who visit Yuanzhou.

After Shizi arrived in Yuanzhou, the upstream tribes began to migrate toward the middle of the fertile grasslands. Mingoqi finally settled the tribe and sent messengers to the former source state. One is to thank Emperor Qing for his kindness, and the other is to visit the prince who is in Yuanzhou.

In order to welcome the waiters from the north and show the majesty of a great country, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War discussed changing the time of this summer hunting.

Summer hunting was postponed to early autumn, and it was combined with this year's military exercise. Zuo Cheng Xu Mingyi also suggested that after the autumn hunting, the Mid-autumn festival would be followed by a feast, so that the envoys could see the style of our great country.

The Queen responded, and the entire court began to get busy with these few things.

After half a year, the arsenal has gradually become clearer. Xuan Jingchen, who was sitting on the throne, looked at His Highness's ministers with different thoughts, waiting for an opportunity to end.

The matter of welcoming the envoy once again affected Hongwenkan. Subei belongs to the fierce race of horses. In order to make the young people stronger, Hongwenguan has also increased the study of martial arts. Simply, Zhong Lishuo followed Su He to learn from Lan Dan, and her physique gradually became stronger. This kind of homework was much easier for her.

Although Le Zheng has been ill for 16 years, she has been using this body for so long, and it is getting better and better.

Therefore, Zhong Lishuo, who was not overworked by his schoolwork, went to Lin Mengdie's appointment in a very happy mood when he was resting.

As early as a few months ago, Lin Mengdie said that she would have a small show. After waiting for a long time, everyone finally agreed. As soon as Zhong Lishuo heard the names of many contemporary people, he went there without hesitation. It was a rare opportunity, and Zhong Lishuo was going to bring his little friend along.

So the weather was fine that day, and Zhong Lishuo led Su He to the Chunfengyilou Building on the bank of the moat.
