Relying on the help of food that appeared out of nowhere, Liu Shengyan arrived in the capital smoothly.
He concealed his identity and went to Beijing not just for a visit, but also to ensure the safety of his family.
After knowing that the emperor wanted him to take the blame, Liu Shengyan knew that his family might also be held accountable.
On the one hand, he knew that the emperor had ordered that the Liu family would definitely not be able to survive.
On the other hand he was hopeful.
What if.
Ji Changze promised that he would protect his family.
Although that person is wilted and bad, he is not the kind to go back on his word.
Along the way, because of his status as a criminal, Liu Shengyan did not dare to communicate with anyone. He wore a cloak to cover himself all the way. With amazing perseverance and natural luck, he was free from illness and disaster and even had food on the roadside. He finally made it. Arrived in the capital.
He had been traveling for three months.
After all, we were walking, and besides getting lost a few times along the way, it was pretty good to be able to walk there in three months.
When he arrived at the gate of the capital, Liu Shengyan breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed all over. He quickly covered his face and walked towards the city with eagerness.
"wait!"
The soldiers guarding the city did not take a nap like before. Their eyes were wide open, looking around to see if there were any bad guys.
As soon as he saw Liu Shengyan, who was timid and hiding his face from others, he immediately raised the alarm and strode forward to stop him.
"Registration information."
Liu Shengyan: "... What information are you posting?"
Although the soldier doubted him, before he got the evidence, he still answered very professionally and steadily: "Of course it is to register the identity information, what is your name, where are you from, how old are you, what are you doing here, when do you plan to leave, These need to be registered.”
After speaking, he looked Liu Shengyan up and down: "It's my first time in the capital. I don't even know this."
Liu Shengyan, who grew up in the capital: “…”
He eventually came to register obediently.
He definitely couldn't use his real name. Liu Shengyan thought about it and made up the name of Li Zhou. He once dreamed of being named Li Zhou. Later, when he wanted to write something that was not convenient for his real name, he would use Li Zhou. Write under the pen name Zhou.
After the registration information was completed, the soldier waved to let him go.
As Liu Shengyan was walking, he was thinking about when the capital city became so strict in inspections. Didn't the previous city guards always stand and doze off all day long? When he suddenly heard a loud voice from behind him:
"Li Zhou!"
When his pen name was called, he turned around subconsciously.
The city guard who called him turned his head when he saw him and waved his hand: "It's okay, you can go."
Liu Shengyan: "?"
What to do.
He took two more steps before his stagnant brain started to work, and he suddenly reacted.
The soldier just now was testing whether the name was real.
If his name wasn't Li Zhou, he would definitely not have reacted immediately when he was called this name.
Now we have to use tricks to defend the city
Liu Shengyan was confused in his heart. He didn't know what happened in the capital while he was away. But since he entered the city, he naturally wanted to see his family quickly.
He walked quickly towards Liu's mansion with expectation and a little fear.
When I got to the door, I saw that there was a seal in the middle of the door.
Liu Shengyan stayed on the spot, looking at the seal in disbelief.
After all, was it actually a house raid?
His Majesty didn't even give him a chance to survive and just ransacked his home
He has never done anything wrong! !
No, ransacking his home does not mean he is dead. There are only women and young sons in his family. Logically speaking, they will not be executed. They should be sold into slavery.
As long as he is still alive, even if he is a slave, he can just buy it back.
Liu Shengyan comforted himself and headed towards Ji Mansion.
He believed that Ji Changze would definitely help him.
When they arrived at Ji Mansion, they saw that the plaque had been taken off, the door was open, and there was no one inside, making it look like an abandoned house.
Liu Shengyan: "..."
Ji Changze... also overturned
What happened.
Why did the Ji family become like this? Could it be that the emperor found out that Ji Changze wanted to overturn the case for his master, so he took the murderous action
Liu Shengyan walked down the street in despair. He suffered such a huge blow that he even forgot to continue covering his face.
"Master Liu?!"
"Is this Mr. Liu?!"
"Master Liu! It's Mr. Liu Shengyan and Mr. Liu!!"
Voices suddenly appeared frequently in the crowd, and then more and more people came towards Liu Shengyan with bright eyes.
Liu Shengyan: "..."
"What are you doing!"
"Let me go!"
"I grabbed Mr. Liu's arm, I grabbed it!"
"Obviously it was me, I was the first one to catch him!"
There was almost no suspense about how the weak scholar Liu Shengyan could stand up to so many people. He was grabbed tightly by countless hands and was sent to the princess's house in a daze.
etc.
Princess Mansion.
Doesn’t His Majesty only have princes? Where did the princess come from
Liu Shengyan was brought to the door in complete confusion by these people noisily. Then the boy he had been with before hurried out and stepped forward immediately when he saw him.
"Sir, why are you in such a mess? If the madam and the princess see you, they will definitely feel heartbroken."
"My lord, where have you been these past few months? Many people sent by the princess could not find you. Madam has cried several times."
Liu Shengyan: "...wait, wait."
"Princess? What princess?"
It's normal for the lady to be worried about him, but is it normal for the princess to be worried about him
Let’s not say that there is no princess under His Majesty’s knees now. To put it bluntly, even if there was, the princess would not worry about a minor official like him.
Liu Shengyan touched his face, it was hot.
Zhuang Zhou Mengdie
Is he dreaming
Liu Shengyan! You are so shameless! How dare you have such a dream where the princess is worried? Do you want to eat soft rice
Liu Shengyan, Liu Shengyan, you beast!
"Daddy!"
Just when Liu Shengyan was condemning himself, a familiar voice of surprise sounded, and then his well-behaved, obedient and obedient daughter appeared in front of him with her skirt lifted up with a happy face.
After excitedly arriving at his father's side, Liu Leping calmed down a little and bowed obediently: "Daddy is fine."
Then, the people around him knelt on the ground.
"Meet the princess."
Liu Shengyan looked at the common people kneeling on the ground, and then at his daughter standing obediently in front of him.
Silence for a few seconds: "..."
It turns out that I didn’t dream about being a woman, but my daughter.
Liu Shengyan! You actually want to eat your daughter's soft rice, you are worse than a beast!
****
After burning the incense, Liu Shengyan sat on the expensive chair, moving uncomfortably, with a dazed expression on his face.
"So, my daughter is actually Ji Changze's daughter. His Majesty has abdicated and the new emperor is now the eldest prince. Lord Li's grievances have been redressed. Ji Changze has returned to his hometown. Leping has been named a princess by his eldest prince."
Mrs. Liu wiped the dust from her husband's face distressedly: "That's it."
"Three months ago, after Ji Changze learned that His Majesty ordered to deal with you and us, he forced the palace to allow the new monarch to take the throne. Naturally, these orders were not included. It happened to be the Princess Le Parallel Ceremony, and the new monarch sent people to Gezhou to pick you up. Jing, when we got there, the prefect said you had just left."
"I thought it was just a matter of front and rear foot skills, but I sent out so many people, but I couldn't see you. Later, Leping guessed that you must be returning to Beijing, so he went to the missing person notice board and posted your information. With a heavy reward, they really sent you back."
Liu Shengyan: "..."
He felt a little guilty.
In fact, he knew that someone was chasing him along the way, but he thought they were sent to chase him, so he avoided them all.
He was very lucky and managed to avoid it time and time again.
You can imagine how frustrated those who tried to get him back would be.
"Wait a minute, wasn't our house ransacked? I saw the seal."
"It's not that the house was ransacked, it's that the old lady disappeared, and several other families divided the property and sold the house. It hasn't been sold yet, so that's why the seal has been put on it."
Liu Shengyan nodded in sudden realization: "Oh...it turns out that the old lady is gone...Huh? The old lady is gone?"
Aren’t old ladies always alive
When he was a boy, he once thought about competing with the old lady in longevity. As a result, the old lady had an unexpectedly long life, and she lived to be in his thirties despite being strong and strong.
Mrs. Liu showed a sad smile: "Although the old lady has always been in good health, I don't know why. Just half a day after knowing that His Majesty was going to execute us, I found out that the new king had ascended the throne and Leping was named a princess. "
"In the midst of great sorrow and great joy, after all, I couldn't hold on anymore as I got older. I didn't feel well that day. I went away after struggling all night."
Liu Shengyan understood.
What is great sorrow and great joy? It is clearly great joy and great sorrow.
The old lady has been working hard to suppress their room, and when she is about to see the results, His Majesty personally gives the order.
Your Majesty, that is the most powerful person in the world.
No matter how lucky Liu Shengyan is, he can't escape.
Seeing that something she had been waiting for for many years was about to come true, the old lady was naturally very excited.
As a result, she never dreamed that His Majesty was indeed the most powerful person in the world, but Ji Changze actually replaced him with His Majesty in order to save Liu Shengyan's family.
Sadness and anger cannot be used to describe the old lady's mood when she heard the news.
It can be called a bolt from the blue.
After her death, her biological son was about to fight for the family property, only to find that the house was already empty here and there. Only one house was still worth some money, so they immediately put the house up for sale.
Originally, someone came to the princess's mansion to cause trouble.
Liu Leping sent people to beat him out directly.
In the past, she had to abide by filial piety, but now she is nominally the emperor's adopted sister, and actually Ji Changze's daughter. Theoretically, she has no relationship with the Liu family.
She could take care of her mother and brother, and at the same time beat these blood-sucking insects away with a stick.
No one can say anything about her. Liu Leping is Ji Changze's daughter.
This identity alone is enough for everyone to be very tolerant of her no matter what she does. What's more, she doesn't go too far. I've only heard that sons should be filial to their mothers, but never heard of brothers raising them. I belong to a large family.
So I waited until Liu Shengyan came back.
He has been promoted, his daughter has become a princess, and his blood-sucking relatives have been beaten with a big stick by his daughter so that they dare not come. When he goes out, people are willing to talk to him and invite him to dinner, just to ask about his sixteenth year. Did you know about Ji Changze's forbearance in recent years
Liu Shengyan, who won again: "..."
He knew nothing. He had scolded Ji Changze for sixteen years. How could he know
But look at the bearded Fang next door who is praised as "a discerning and straightforward person".
Liu Shengyan: "Of course I know. Nagasawa and I grew up together. I know very well what his character is. When Mr. Li's incident happened and he immediately changed his attitude, I expected that there was something different about this matter. Eh. , It’s a pity that my official position is low and I can’t help him much.”
"On the surface, I scolded him because I didn't want to expose him. Yes, yes, that's right. At the beginning, I also felt that someone was helping me behind the scenes, and I vaguely guessed that it was Nagasawa."
"Do you remember Huang Ginseng? He was the one who stepped on Nagasawa and was exiled. Nagasawa once asked me to redeem him. It was only after I met Huang Ginseng that I realized that Nagasawa did what he did to save him. His life, eh... He is good at everything, but sometimes he is too good, and he has been able to survive alone for so many years."
With the supporting testimony of Mr. Liu, Ji Changze's childhood friend, Ji Changze's image becomes even more full of high-level pathos.
As a result, even if Mr. Ji didn't say it, everyone knew how he endured the humiliation and burden in the past six years, how he took risks to quietly save people, and how he gave up his family's wealth to send food to the front line.
It's a pity that Mr. Ji may have been scheming in the court for sixteen years. He really got tired of the court. After doing these things, he returned to his hometown and lived in seclusion with his wife. He was filial to his mother and mother-in-law, and never showed his face again.
That's what officials think.
In fact, Ji Changze showed up. After paying homage to his teacher, he came to look for his mother.
Mother Ji has always had no sense of existence.
Her life was also full of hardships. She became a widow at a young age and managed to raise her son. She watched him worship a good master, and with his master taking care of the family, everything gradually got better.
We were happy, but what happened sixteen years ago happened.
Ji's mother is a country woman. She ages faster than ordinary people because of hard work. She looks like an ordinary country woman, but she knows the four words of "repaying kindness with kindness".
After knowing that her son actually stepped on his master who was so kind to him, Ji's mother started to eat fast and chant Buddha's name just like Mrs. Li.
He refused to go to Beijing to accept his son's filial piety, and refused to eat delicious food and wear good clothes. He wore linen clothes and ate vegetarian food all day long, locking himself up like self-abuse and refusing to see anyone.
After raising such a white-eyed wolf son, she was ashamed to see others and did not want to enjoy any filial piety from this son.
Then, the news came.
It turned out that her son was not ungrateful.
Nor is he a cold-blooded person who climbed to the top by stepping on his master's bones.
He was also forced to do so to protect his family.
Now, he has vindicated Mr. Li, letting everyone in the world know Mr. Li's innocence and understand what happened back then.
When Ji's mother found out, she cried all night while holding the Buddhist scriptures.
Her son, her son was indeed not that kind of person.
Great, great.
When Ji Changze came, Ji's mother opened the door and saw her son for the first time, hugged him, carefully looked at whether he had lost weight, and asked him if he had endured hardship.
"Mom knows that our Nagasawa is not a bad person, but our Nagasawa is a good person."
Ji's mother wiped her tears and touched her son's head tenderly, just like she did when he was a child.
At this moment, the big stone that had been weighing on her heart for more than ten years finally fell to the ground.
Her son is not a bad person, but a good official who endured humiliation and suffered injustice for sixteen years for his master.
A year later, as in the original timeline, Ji's mother passed away in her sleep after suffering for more than ten years, but this time, she had a smile on her lips before leaving.
She no longer has to suffer the guilt of her conscience, nor does she have to lock herself in a house to imprison herself.
After Ji Changze observed her mourning for three years, his family moved to the mountains and forests.
Twenty-five years later, Li Ziqian passed away, and Ji Changze followed closely. When Yishaosao found out, he went to the village to find someone for help. Everyone in the village knew about Ji Changze's affairs, and they all stepped forward to help with the funeral arrangements.
After the monks in the surrounding temples heard about it, the whole temple came here to chant sutras for the legendary Master Ji and his wife, wishing them good health in the next life.
"After Emperor Lu got the news, he personally mourned Ji Changze. He said that Ji Changze was like a teacher and an elder in his heart. Whenever there was something he couldn't decide, he would think of Ji Changze. The biggest regret in his life was After Ji Changze spent sixteen years in court, he resolutely resigned and lived in seclusion all his life."
"Although Ji Changze was only active in history for sixteen years, and even in the first fifteen years he was still known as a traitor, his influence on the Wen Dynasty was huge. The seven generations of emperors who followed would regard Ji Changze as their teacher. , use him to alert yourself."
"Emperor Lu's younger brothers also followed Ji Changze's example and made a lot of contributions at that time. The second king was a famous architect, the third king was a famous designer specializing in design, the fourth king was a weapons expert, and the fifth king was a famous designer. He was very good at business and was also a famous painter. The most noteworthy thing is that Emperor Lu showed great tolerance to his half-brothers. He was only talking about the four kings, and he was able to allow him to do so. To make weapons privately, in ancient times, was the greatest trust an emperor could give."
"And this trust cannot be ruled out as being influenced by Ji Changze's leadership."
"The commercial street left by Ji Changze generated huge financial resources, which also led to the strong military strength of the Wen Dynasty. When the enemy invaded at that time, the enemy country was included in the territory of the Wen Dynasty with one attack."
"And those who went on that expedition were the royal soldiers who had been trained by Ji Changze."
"At that time, countless people wrote poems and poems for Ji Changze, praised what he did, and admired his character. You should have seen a lot when you took Chinese classes, and his biological daughter Princess Leping also inherited her father's excellence and kindness. My adoptive father’s talent was that of a rare female writer at that time…”
After one class, the history teacher announced the end of get out of class.
The students who heard this history for the first time were still immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves.
After his master died unjustly, he used his reputation to climb up the ladder. He served as a traitor for sixteen years, held great power in one hand and gained military power, and immediately fell out with the emperor.
When he went to court, he directly led troops in and forced the emperor to admit what he had done. He also successfully made the emperor abdicate to the eldest prince who was still imprisoned at the time. After that, he resigned and went into seclusion.
This history is more exciting than novels!
I really want to go back to that period in the past and see this magical figure who is so scheming but still sticks to his heart and has persevered for sixteen years to overturn the case for his master.
In any case, when he was scolded as a traitor, he must be full of grievances.
But even so, he had to accuse himself of being a traitor before resigning, and let himself leave the court on the charge of being someone else, just to convict the emperor.
Because the more guilty the emperor was, the more innocent his master was.
How could such a gentleman meet that kind of dog emperor
But I also want to thank that dog emperor. Before he harmed anyone, he had to visit the prison and tell people that if he hadn't told them, Mr. Li wouldn't have left a blood letter. If Ji Changze hadn't seen the blood letter, he wouldn't have endured it for sixteen years just to let him go. Master's reputation.
Therefore, when you are a villain, you should not talk too much.
It's so good, what kind of prison are you visiting
This is a word for later generations. In the Wen Dynasty, before Ji Changze closed his eyes, he suddenly thought of the stroke emperor who died early.
I heard that he could move his tongue before he died, and he managed to spit out a sentence: "I... didn't..."
But no one knew what he meant by this.
After saying this, the old emperor died, and this incident did not attract anyone's attention, except for the culprit Ji Changze.
[Ding! mission completed!]
[Please choose: 1. Continue the mission, 2. Vacation.]
[Continue the mission.]
****
Ji Changze opened his eyes and found that he was sitting on a throne, holding a dark scepter with a snake's head on top.
In front of him, there was a mirror. The person in it was wearing a crown and holding a scepter, but he was dressed in a modern style.
Um…
This picture is a bit middle-of-the-road.
After reading the memory, Ji Changze realized that he had misunderstood the original owner.
This is not a little bit average at all, this is a tenth average.
This is the era of great purges in this world. Miraculous gases suddenly appear in the modern world that originally focused on science.
After these gases are inhaled, they enter the human body. Some humans have some strange abilities after getting these gases.
Some humans will directly evolve into demons if they have impure thoughts after getting the gas. Demons feed on resentment, so they will go to any lengths to do all kinds of bad things to arouse people's hatred and resentment.
This caused an uproar after the study was published.
this is too scary.
You have no grudges or holidays with him, but he just killed your family, relatives, and friends in front of you just to make you hate him.
However, these villains are all very capable, and if you kill one, you can regenerate another one, which is even stronger than the decent ones. People are panicked and can only think of ways to protect themselves.
Demons also have levels. They know their own level from the time they are born, and have strict rules that subordinates must listen to their subordinates. When they see a demon with a higher level than themselves, the demon with a lower level will obey unconditionally.
The original owner was the biggest demon in the original timeline, and had the most powerful ability since his birth.
To put it simply: he is the king of demons.
