Dragon Warrior

Chapter 211 Epilogue [-]: Visitors in the Palace

In the second year of Xuanguang in the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Prime Minister Pu Buhua killed Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng, and his power shocked the world.But shortly thereafter, it was heard that Pu Buhua and the hero Xiao Jing fought in Dongting and were defeated.

As the news spread, the heroes rose again, the Great Yuan collapsed, Emperor Xuanguang disappeared, and the army and the people surrendered in anticipation.In the same year, Mingjiao advocated Wuji to inspect Haozhou. Soon, a decree was handed down to pass the position of leader to Yang Xiao, the left envoy of Guangming, and he retired with his wife.

Yang Xiao is old and weak, and he is not popular with the public. The volunteers all over the country obeyed and disobeyed, and did not obey orders.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew people well, and his servants were like rain, and generals were like clouds, all the way to attack the city and pull out the village. Within two years, he occupied most of the world, so he founded the country and called it Ming Dynasty. He became the emperor in Jiqing and changed it to Yingtianfu.

After Zhu Yuanzhang came to the throne, he made great efforts to govern, diligently governed and loved the people. Under his rule, the politics was clear and the people were obedient.After the Northern Expedition of hundreds of thousands of troops, the remaining Mongolian forces fled all the way back to the grassland, and the world was once again in chaos.

In the third year of Hongwu, the third year of Zhu Yuanzhang's accession to the throne, the princes from all walks of life were eliminated one by one, either died or surrendered, and the remaining Mongolian forces fled north to the grasslands.

Xiao Jing strolled in Yingtianfu City, seeing that the city was extremely prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and she nodded secretly in her heart.Although Zhu Yuanzhang's character is not good, but when the emperor really has nothing to say, as the two diligent emperors who are also known as Qin Shihuang, and when the new dynasty was established and flourishing, politics was indeed extremely clear.

He found an inn to stay, and when night fell, Xiao Jing went out alone and entered the palace leisurely all the way.Although the palace is heavily guarded, with three steps for one post and five steps for one post, it doesn't make any sense to him.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Hongwu was receiving Zhengyi No.40 second-generation celestial master, Chongxuzi Zhang Normal, and asked him about the way of governing the country in the Taoist Huang Lao thought, the art of the king's south, and some methods of longevity.

Zhang Normal is knowledgeable, rich in experience, and has unique insights into the changes in the world situation. After some eloquent talk, Zhu Yuanzhang kept nodding his head in praise. .

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and with the sound of "Papapapa...", a person walked in with his palms, and laughed loudly: "The old Tianshi is so insightful, he can be said to know astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, and Xiao Xiao at the bottom." Renhe. Even I feel that I have benefited a lot from listening to it, and the emperor must have gained a lot too."

There are only two people in the room, the old master and the emperor, plus five or six eunuchs who are waiting on the sidelines. At this time, they suddenly saw someone breaking in, and they were shocked. When they looked up, they saw a handsome young man in his twenties.

All the eunuchs opened their mouths and were about to yell loudly, but the young man glanced at him, and saw a star-like brilliance flashed in the eyes of the other party, and then they were dizzy, and they retreated without saying a word. Turn a blind eye to that person.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned cold, but his heart sank.He was naturally impressed by such an unparalleled person with unpredictable means, he was the person he feared the most in the whole world, and immediately said: "It turns out that Hero Xiao came to visit, I haven't seen him for many years, Hero Xiao is still handsome, I am very happy. "

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty does not blame me for taking the liberty to come here and disturb Shengjia. The grassroots are deeply impressed. I came here today to discuss two things with the Emperor, but in order not to be disturbed, I will take the Emperor to a relatively quiet place." The place."

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Old Heavenly Master, save me..."

Zhang Normal had been prepared for a long time. He took a step forward, swept the fly in his hand, and stopped in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, saying: "Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun. This is Xiao Daxia, who is the most prestigious in the martial arts world? Poor Zhang Normal is polite."

Xiao Jing returned the salute and said: "Old Master, don't worry, I just want to say a few heart-to-heart words with the emperor, and I don't have any intention of harming him, so why bother drawing swords."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If you have anything to say, just say it here, I'm listening."

Xiao Jing said: "I want to climb to the top with the emperor, take a look at the mountains and rivers, and say something from the bottom of my heart. This imperial study room does not see the sky and the moon, it is a bit dull, I don't like it very much, please move the emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "Bold, I am the Son of Heaven, how dare you be so rude, aren't you afraid that I will punish your nine clans?"

Xiao Jing's expression was still indifferent, and said: "Don't be afraid. The emperor has the heart but not the power. If I can do it, I will be a prisoner by now. On the contrary, if I want to kill the emperor's nine clans and make your foundation unsustainable, It's just a backhand, and you can judge the gains and losses by yourself."

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his face swelled purple, and said: "Lawless, lawless. Do you still have the law of the king in your eyes?"

Xiao Jing said: "The king's law is for the obedient people to abide by. A reckless person like me has never known what the king's law is since he was a child. Your Majesty should have personally experienced this."

Zhu Yuanzhang said bitterly: "I just know that you gangsters are bold and disobedient, so I want to cut you off gradually. Judging from your performance tonight, what I am worried about is not wrong. "

Xiao Jing said: "You pick up the bowl to eat meat, put down the chopsticks and scold your mother. Without the support of me and other people in the world, would you be where you are today? After becoming the emperor, no one expected you to repay, but you were born in the world. In turn, I am afraid of the heroes of the world, for fear that another person like you will come out and overthrow your country. This kind of behavior is very ridiculous, and it makes me and other heroes very disdainful."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Presumptuous, I am the Lord of Destiny, the real dragon emperor descended from the gods, who can overthrow me?"

Xiao Jing said: "Really? In fact, Emperor Yuan Shun's son, Aiyoushili Dala, was also the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, but he died without even being the emperor for a day. Does the emperor know?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank, and he said, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Jing said: "It means that we have no idea of ​​rebellion at all, otherwise you would have been the second Aiyou Shili Dala long ago. You are not the only one who is the so-called Lord of Destiny. If you die, Destiny will be transferred to Others, such as Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, and even Chen Youliang who also have the fate of the dragon. Because you are the ultimate winner, you will be considered the master of destiny. For another person, as long as they are Han people, it is fine."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was as gloomy as water, and he looked at Zhang Normal calmly, with a glimmer of haze in his eyes.

Xiao Jing saw his movements in his eyes, and said: "I have long said to find a place where there is no one to tell the emperor, but the emperor refuses, do you regret it now? Forget it, I will take you there." After speaking, his body shook , Then came to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Normal had been very vigilant for a long time. He swung the dust whisk in his hand and unleashed boundless sword energy, but only halfway through, he felt a numbness in his waist, and his body became stiff and unable to move.

Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded. The main reason why he invited the old celestial master to accompany the holy driver was to prevent the misconduct of the outlaws in the world, especially the lawless and peerless master like Xiao Jing.He originally expected that the old master, as a master who has stepped into the super-first-class realm for decades, even if he is not invincible, can block Xiao Jing for a short time, but the scene in front of him made him pour down like a basin of cold water, the old master He was subdued before even finishing a single move. The strength of the enemy had already surpassed his comprehension.

Regardless of Zhu Yuanzhang's stunned expression, Xiao Jing directly grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulders, his body swayed, and he was on the top of the tallest palace in the next moment.

At this time, the moon is full and bright, and the sky and the earth are clear. Standing on the top of the main hall, one glance at the past, the huge moon seems to be in front of you, round and bright.Looking around again, he could see the entire imperial palace and even Yingtianfu City in a panoramic view.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the ground, but seeing that he seemed to be standing on the cliff, and his body might be smashed to pieces at any time, his heart skipped a beat and he didn't dare to look any more.None of the guards patrolling back and forth in the palace expected that someone could go to such a high place at night, so no one paid special attention to it.

Xiao Jing and Zhu Yuanzhang stood side by side, looked at Emperor Hongwu's uncertain face under the moonlight, smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the world has never been a threat to you, if you want to ensure the longevity of your country, you should look to the northeast , if you operate properly, your dynasty may last for a few more generations. Even if you can’t avoid the historical law of the country’s fate of only 300 years, you can also avoid Shenzhou’s land sinking again, and Hu’er mistaken me for China’s 300-year catastrophe.”

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, my martial arts has reached the state where I am one with heaven and man every moment. I can see many things that ordinary people can't understand in the dark. Otherwise, such as plum blossom poems, Qian Kun Wannian songs, pushing How did you get the pictures on the back? The moonlight is beautiful today, and I’m in a good mood, so just talking to your majesty can be regarded as avoiding some disasters in advance for us Han people.”

Following Xiao Jing's eloquent talk, Zhu Yuanzhang's complexion kept changing, and his heart was overwhelmed. Although he didn't really believe in some words, the emperor's heart has always been that he would rather kill than let go. If it is false, he should open up the frontier. If it is true, he will kill the sworn enemy who will overthrow his own country in advance, no matter how you look at it, he will make a profit without losing money.

At this moment, two men standing at the top of the world stand side by side with the moon. This meeting was not considered friendly, but it quietly changed the course of history for thousands of years in the future, and finally made the Shenzhou Dynasty always stand on the land of the Far East. Become a superpower that affects the direction of the world.

After two full hours, when Zhu Yuanzhang came out of the imperial study room again, the guards on duty outside stood solemnly, and a gust of iron and blood rushed towards his face.But the guards who were always considered to be very reliable and powerful in the past were no different from trash in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.The corners of his eyes twitched, he sighed helplessly in his heart, waved his sleeves, and went straight back to the harem.

Zhang Normal, who followed Zhu Yuanzhang, looked calm, but felt a little helpless in his heart. Tonight, he saw something he shouldn't have seen, and heard some disrespectful words, all of which harmed the majesty of the emperor, and he himself did not play his due role. In the eyes of the emperor, I am afraid that he has already been rejected. If Tianshidao wants to obtain the orthodox status of the leader of the Taoist sect, it seems that it has to fall on the next emperor.

The next day, the six eunuchs who served Zhu Yuanzhang last night never showed up again, and the old master Zhang Normal was still accompanying him as always. No one knew what happened that night, and what made Emperor Hongwu withdraw The big net that spread across the entire rivers and lakes, and made the decision to march into the Northeast, wipe out the Jurchen survivors, and immigrate to the border.

By the 15th year of Hongwu, after more than ten years of uninterrupted suppression and application of policies, the fishing and hunting peoples in the deep forests of the Northeast had either died or surrendered, and finally became extinct. , Speaking Chinese, learning Chinese characters, and wearing Han clothes, Jurchen's unborn civilization was stifled in the cradle, and the vast black land was already full of hardworking and simple Han people.

Xiao Jing came out of the palace, rested in the inn for one night, and left the city at dawn the next day.In a quiet and secret small courtyard, Xiao Jing met Zhao Min who was waiting for him, and the two left together.

It has been five or six years since the battle with Pu Buhua, and Zhao Min is already in his early 30s, but he still looks like a girl in her twenties, except for the charming, sexy and deep style that has accumulated over time , she is still as alert and courageous as ever, bold and domineering, just like when she was in the Green Willow Villa.

The long-term practice of the Great Joy Zen secret method with Xiao Jing made her look more and more attractive, with delicate skin and rosy complexion. She, who was already a country-beating figure, now exudes a ubiquitous charm.
