The fourth year of Guangqi.
The imperial court gathered all the vassal states in the country to hold a spring search by the Kunming Lake, when suddenly a divine man appeared.
The divine man's surname is Lu, just like the Taoist priest Lu Yan who plays with the world and is kind to the people. As to whether he is Lu Yan, the divine man himself did not deny it, but did not admit it either, and outsiders only have this opinion.
A divine man appeared and killed the eunuch leaders Liu Xingshen (impersonated by Yang Sixu) and Yang Fugong on the spot, causing the eunuch group that was attempting a mutiny to give up.
At the same time, Taoist Lu also instructed the second general of Heshuo, Zhu Ya, to lead his troops into Chang'an, break into the imperial palace, and kill all the eunuchs in power. Without these eunuchs, the court suddenly became solemn.
The appearance of the Taoist priest surnamed Lu not only stopped a conspiracy and massacre, but also suppressed the feudal lords throughout the world, making them dare not act rashly.
Under the threat of his strange means, all the high-ranking officials of the feudal states and the civil and military officials of the imperial court were gathered together. They held consultations for several days on the current situation.
During the period when the local officials and court officials were negotiating, earth-shaking changes took place in the outside world.
In the northwest direction, under the instruction of Zhang Huaishen, the Guiyi Army, with Zhang Jiaxilang Suo Xun as the general, took the lead in launching an attack on Fengxiang; as a result, Li Congxun and Li Congchang who were left behind in Fengxiang suffered a great defeat.
The Xichuan troops who had promised to help Zhang Huaishen were attacked by the general of Xingyuan Prefecture when they passed through Xingyuan Prefecture, and they returned in defeat. (Xingyuan Prefecture: Hanzhong area, located between Sichuan and Fengxiang, which was Yang Shouliang's territory)
Just when the Guiyi Army was attacking Fengxiang, Gao Su, the general of Heshuo, led tens of thousands of guards and captured Sha, Gan, Su, Shan, Yi, Xi, He, Lan, Min, and Kuo states at lightning speed. The entire Longyou area was under the control of Heshuo.
When Zhang Huaishen's cousin-in-law Suo Xun returned to Ganzhou with the defeated Guiyi Army, he was ruthlessly killed on the spot by Gao Su who had returned.
Suo Xun, the treacherous man who married the daughter of Zhang family and seized the family property in history, never understood how he died until his death, which was quite a pity.
At the same time, the three Heshuo generals stationed in Yan, Sui and You states, Meng Juehai, Cao Shixiong and Li Chongba, launched a surprise attack on Bining and Fuyan under the planning of Wang Jing.
Without the two major vassal states commanded by Wang Chongying and Zhu Mei, there was no effective resistance at all and they were defeated by the Heshuo army in one blow. Since then, the six states of Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Ningzhou, Yanzhou, Fuzhou and Fangzhou were all incorporated into the territory of Heshuo.
In the Hedong direction, Huo Qing, Lu Fengxian and Zhao Zilong also launched attacks on Li Keyong's territory; without the support of powerful generals such as Li Cunxiao and Gao Xingzhou, Li Siyuan, Shi Jianjian and others were naturally no match for Lu Fengxian and Zhao Zilong's reckless charge.
With the help of Huo Qing's plan, Gao Siji and Ji Kui led their troops out of Jingxing, which were under the jurisdiction of Li Keyong's nine states, namely Ci, Qin, Jin, Ze, Lu, Guo, Xing, Ming and Ci. Except for Guozhou, the other eight states were all taken by Heshuo.
Of course, it was not only Heshuo that made big moves. Yuchi Xin in Youzhou was also not idle. Since Yujuro and the Xie brothers returned to Youzhou, Yuchi Xin immediately put aside all his concerns and led his troops to attack Jizhou, Cangzhou and other places.
The four states of Ying, Shen, Ji and Zhao, which were originally under the jurisdiction of Wang Rong, and Cangzhou, which was under the jurisdiction of Wang Chucun, were all caught off guard by the Youzhou army and changed their flags in an instant.
After occupying the territories of the two major vassal states, Yuchi Xin also sent people to contact Zhao Zilong. The two sides joined forces and captured the territories of Wei Bo Le Yanzhen, Bei De Zhu Xuan, and the seven states of Wei, Xiang, Wei, Bo, Bei, De, and Di.
From then on, the entire northern part of the Central Plains, including Hebei, Hedong, Henei, and Longyou, were all conquered by the forces of Zhu Li and Yuchi Jin.
Looking at the world now, these two people occupy half of it.
When the warlords gathered in Chang'an, under the mediation of a Taoist named Lu, decided to determine the fate of the country based on "the will of the people", almost half of the numerous military governors in the world were wiped out by the coalition forces of Heshuo and Youzhou.
Wang Chongying, Zhu Mei, Zhang Huaishen, Le Yanzhen, Wang Chucun, Wang Rong, Zhu Xuan and others have obviously become mere figures in name only.
Li Keyong, who was originally very powerful, only had Guozhou left. His general Li Siyuan died in the battle, and Shi Jiantang fled to Guozhou with Li's family. If Guozhou had not been located in the south, I believe that even this state would not have been left.
The only territory left under Li Maozhen was Qizhou, and all other states were taken over by Gao Su.
Such a fierce and sudden surprise attack achieved such brilliant results, which not only shocked other vassal states, but also made them even more frightened.
There was no other reason. Wherever the Heshuo army went, people from all over the country not only risked their lives to serve them; wherever the flags pointed, the people were all excited, just like hungry young birds seeing their mother bringing food back to the nest.
This is what the people want!
The two Guos of Heshuo, Guo Qizuo and Guo Chongtao, had been planning to take over the world for several years but had never made any big moves. However, now they had taken over half of the country with a thundering blow.
If someone says that half of the country does not belong entirely to Heshuo, but also to Youzhou; then they have ignored the deep meaning of Li Keju's giving up the throne to Yuchi Jin.
Although the Tang Dynasty had an iron lady, Wu Zetian,
But in the society at that time, women were not recognized by the mainstream figures.
Just like Master Li, who tried his best to help Wang Yueyao to the top, his purpose was only for himself. If he succeeded in the future and forced Wang Yueyao to marry him, he could take over everything about her.
However, Li Keju did not pass the post of Jiedushi to his own sons and nephews, nor to the son of his old friend Yuchi Xin, but instead passed it to Yuchi Jin, because he wanted to give Yuchi Jin the several states under the jurisdiction of Youzhou as a dowry.
This old man actually sincerely hopes that Zhu Li and Yuchi Jin can be successfully married.
After the rebellion in the north was pacified, Guo Qizuo, along with Zhao Zilong, Lu Fengxian, Gao Su, and Huo Qing, led 100,000 elite troops to besiege Chang'an, which awakened the Chang'an vassal state.
Guo Qizuo did this without any intention to do anything, just to ensure Zhu Li's safety; however, as soon as they arrived in Chang'an, they heard the news that Zhu Li was seriously injured and unconscious, and his life was in danger.
This was a serious matter. Not only was Guo Qizuo furious, but the 100,000 Heshuo soldiers were even more furious.
Zhu Li was the military god of Heshuo, a hero in the eyes of the palace guards, and an idol of countless young men. He was forced by Li Fazhu with his own family, and was tortured by nine cuts and eighteen holes. Just thinking about it made them furious.
The angry Heshuo guards, led by the four angry generals, rushed directly into the camp by the Kunming Lake and killed anyone they saw from other vassal states. For a moment, the entire Kunming Lake was filled with shouts of killing and blood.
Even the divine Taoist Master Lu couldn't stop them. No matter how powerful the Taoist master was, he was only one person after all. The madness of the army of more than 100,000 was simply irresistible to gods and ghosts.
The chaos lasted for three whole days. During these three days, almost all the former Tang court officials were slaughtered by the angry Heshuo guards. Most of the high-ranking officials of the vassal states were also killed or wounded. Those who survived were all captured by Heshuo.
Three days later, Li Tianfu took the lead and beheaded Li Fazhu in the presence of tens of thousands of Heshuo guards.
At the same time, the enraged Yuchi Jin also killed Li Cunxiao; the sad Wang Yueyao hacked Li Keyong to death; the furious Qian Muran shaved Ying's hair alive, and even the usually amiable Qing Ruo chopped Li Nu'er alive.
After the deaths of several people, a grand, clear and exciting voice resounded throughout the world: "The vast land of China is blessed with talented people, and heroes have emerged one after another."
"In the Battle of Zhuolu, the world was united. A divine general appeared at that time, helping the Chinese people to rule the world."
"The divine generals are: first, Zhifu; second, Tengshe; third, Taiyin; fourth, Liuhe; fifth, Baihu; sixth, Xuanwu; seventh, Gouchen; eighth, Zhuque; ninth, Jiudi; tenth, Jiutian; and last, Qinglong."
"Now there is Zhu Li, the holder of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, who killed the demon with his own hands. With the help of Li Tianfu, he obtained the quality of a divine general."
"The way of heaven is right, the principles of heaven are followed, and Li Tianfu is given the power of the nine heavens, and is named: the God of the Nine Heavens; Zhu Li is given a great merit, which can be superimposed, and when the merits are full, they are all; the legacy of the mountains and seas is given to the meritorious people."
Before he finished speaking, the magnificent and clear voice continued to chant: "The vast China is blessed with talented people, and heroes have emerged one after another."
"In the Battle of Zhuolu, the world was united. A divine general appeared at that time, helping the Chinese people to rule the world."
"The divine generals are: first, Zhifu; second, Tengshe; third, Taiyin; fourth, Liuhe; fifth, Baihu; sixth, Xuanwu; seventh, Gouchen; eighth, Zhuque; ninth, Jiudi; tenth, Jiutian; and last, Qinglong."
"Now there is Zhu Li, who holds the Classic of Mountains and Seas. He killed the demon with his own hands. Qian Muran assisted him and he obtained the qualities of a divine general."
"The way of heaven is right, the principles of heaven are followed, Qian Muran is given the power of the white tiger, and he is called the White Tiger God General; Zhu Li is given a great merit, which can be superimposed, and when the merits are full, they are all; the legacy of the mountains and seas is given to the meritorious people."
The vast heavenly music continued: "The vast Shenzhou is full of talented people, and heroes are emerging in large numbers."
"In the Battle of Zhuolu, the world was united. A divine general appeared at that time, helping the Chinese people to rule the world."
"The divine generals are: first, Zhifu; second, Tengshe; third, Taiyin; fourth, Liuhe; fifth, Baihu; sixth, Xuanwu; seventh, Gouchen; eighth, Zhuque; ninth, Jiudi; tenth, Jiutian; and last, Qinglong."
"Now there is Zhu Li, who holds the Classic of Mountains and Seas. He killed the demon with his own hands, and with the help of Qing Ruo, he has obtained the qualities of a divine general."
"The way of heaven is right, the principles of heaven are followed, Qing Ruo is given the power of the Azure Dragon, and he is called: Azure Dragon God General; Zhu Li is given a great merit, which can be superimposed, and when the merits are full, they are all; the legacy of the mountains and seas is given to the meritorious people."
Such a mighty and majestic voice seemed to come from above the nine heavens, like the will of heaven and earth, and like the voice of destiny. It was ethereal and deafening, making countless Chang'an emperors and ministers, dignitaries from all parties, and hundreds of thousands of palace guards all in awe.
Li Tianfu, who was named the Nine Heavens Divine General, successfully broke through his current realm and advanced to the realm of relief; White Tiger Divine General Qian Muran and Azure Dragon Divine General Qing Ruo, were also promoted to the realm of Tianxuan at the same time.
Just as everyone was looking at the three people with envy, Haohao Tianyin continued to chant: "In this life, Yueyao, in the previous life, Jingshu, was virtuous and brave, and loved Yongzhen. She was specially granted the direct talisman, ranking first among the gods, ruling the world and nurturing a benevolent monarch."
"The divine generals are all heroes born to meet the needs of the times. Now there is the direct divine general Wang Yueyao,
The snake god Meng Taiji,
The Taiyin God General Mo Wenlan,
Li Gu, the God of Six Harmonies
peak,
White Tiger General Qian Muran,
Xuanwu God General Zhou Ran,
The god of Gou Chen, Gai Songtao,
The Vermillion Bird God General Mo Yangguang,
The Nine Earth Gods play chess in Jiangnan.
Li Tianfu, the Nine Heavens God General,
The Azure Dragon God General Qing Ruo and other eleven heroes have come to the mortal world to ensure the eternal prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and to go out of Shenzhou and march into the sky! "
"The eleven generals have gathered, and Zhu Li's mission is complete."
"I was not born in troubled times, but I have experienced the disasters of troubled times. I have a good fate in this world. Heroes are blessed by heaven. Zhu Li and Yuchi Jin are granted eternal life as husband and wife. Go back. Your parents are still waiting for you to support them!"
... ... .
Before Hongran's voice fell, Zhu Li's unconscious body and Yuchi Jin's sad figure gradually dissipated until they disappeared in front of everyone.
In a VIP ward next to a window in a hospital in Xinjiekou, Nanjing, a "mummy" wrapped like a rice dumpling slowly opened his eyes.
"Xiao Li, you're awake, you're really awake. I was so worried about you!" A woman with a kind face cried with tears in her eyes when she saw the "mummy" open its eyes.
"The child is awake, everything is fine. Why are you crying? It's so unlucky!" A middle-aged man, with an excited face and tears in his eyes, looked at the "mummy" on the hospital bed with trembling lips, but shouted at the woman with a different meaning.
The "mummy" turned out to be Zhu Li, who returned evil with kindness and saved someone only to die tragically.
However, it seems that he is not dead and is now lying in the hospital. Moreover, his parents who are far away in his hometown also appear here, which surprises Zhu Li who just woke up.
"Dad, Mom, what's going on? Didn't I get stabbed to death by the fence while trying to save an old bookseller? How come I'm not dead yet?" Zhu Li was very surprised. He felt for sure that he was indeed dead at that time, and his soul had returned to the chaotic ancient times.
I never thought that he would be alive again. How could I not be surprised
"What nonsense are you talking about? You were fine, how could you die?" Zhu Li's mother immediately rolled her eyes at her son in reproach when she saw him keep saying the word death.
"Yes, the person is fine. Why are you talking about death? It's so unlucky!" His father also glanced at him.
Then the honest middle-aged man continued: "You are brave enough to save others at the cost of your own life. It is a righteous act and you are a hero."
"The city leaders have spoken. They said that even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance of success, the hospital will never allow a passionate young man like you to give up treatment."
"For such a serious injury, we didn't pay a penny. It was all paid for by the government!" When they mentioned this, a look of gratitude appeared on their parents' faces.
If they were asked to pay, with their meager income, they would not be able to afford a VIP ward even if they sold everything they had.
There is also a special nurse to take care of them. What a nice girl! It would be great if she could be their daughter-in-law. The old couple couldn't help but become distracted when they thought of the nurse.
Speak of the devil, a young and beautiful nurse in a white coat came hurriedly. As soon as she reached the door, the beauty said, "Uncle, auntie, is he awake?"
"In theory, he should be able to wake up today. Don't worry, he will be fine!"
When Zhu Li looked over following the voice, her pupils suddenly froze and she exclaimed, "Jin'er, how did you become a nurse?"
In another dimension, Wang Yueyao ascended the throne with her son and governed the world after the chaos; because Wang Yueyao claimed that the child in her belly was Zhu Li's, she was supported by all the important officials of Heshuo.
The second general, Zhu Ya, was named regent and married the White Tiger General Qian Muran.
Li Tianfu was appointed as the Imperial Master. Every day he would take Cha Shuchen with him to draw some talismans to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts in the imperial palace. As for whether those so-called talismans were useful or not, even the couple themselves did not know.
Yi Jiangnan, Li Gufeng, Meng Taiji and Gai Songtao were appointed commanders of the Chang'an imperial guards, leading 200,000 imperial guards to defend the capital. After Yi Jiangnan, Li Gufeng married Xiyao and Gai Songtao married Yuqiong. The three brothers all treated their wives with respect and were inseparable.
Liang Bo, the left envoy of Shanhai League, was deposed, and Guan Yu was named the new Liang Bo. He brought his wife Yang Liuye and stationed in Shanhai League.
Zhou Ran was conferred the title of King of Yunnan. He returned to his fiefdom with his three wives and lived a life of plenty.
Mo Wenlan was appointed as the number one cook in the Tang Dynasty. All the food in the country was provided to her to cook for Wang Yueyao. In less than a year, this young lady turned into a little fat girl. The key point was that she couldn't control her mouth and kept shouting about losing weight.
Mo Yangguang finally realized his dream and was appointed by Wang Yueyao as a folk song collection envoy. He traveled all over the country, calling it folk song collection, but in fact he was just wandering around and running around, all at public expense.
The vassal states had been almost completely eliminated, and the world was finally at peace. With the assistance of wise ministers such as Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao, and Wang Jing, Wang Yueyao's role as empress was very easy. Her biggest priority was to keep her pregnancy safe.
Because the child in my belly is the benevolent master of Tianyin!
