Journey to Heaven: Kamen Rider’s Journey to Immortality

Jiang Chu State, located at the junction of Zhongzhou and the south of the Tianyuan Continent, belongs to the place where the soldiers must fight, the royal family of Jiang Chu is surnamed Chu, its ancestors were originally a general of the Zhongzhou Dynasty, five hundred years ago when the world was in turmoil, the Zhongzhou Dynasty sent the ancestors of the Chu family to invade the south, the ancestors of the Chu family attacked the city all the way, conquered all the battles, and fought until the Changjiang River in the south, and ruled according to the Changjiang River and the southern countries in accordance with the natural danger of the Changjiang River. After that, the ancestor of the Chu family was named the king of Jiang Chu for his meritorious work in expanding the territory, and since then he has guarded this place and has been hereditary.

Three hundred years later, the Zhongzhou Dynasty was in civil strife, and the rebels directly cut off the Jiangchu region from Zhongzhou, and then the Zhongzhou Dynasty was destroyed. At this time, the king of Jiang Chu did not do anything, and directly raised troops to stand on his own and established the state of Jiang Chu.

However, the geographical location of Jiang Chu is critical, it is the throat of Zhongzhou and the south, and now it is self-reliant, without the support of the Zhongzhou Dynasty, it has naturally become a piece of fat. In the west of Jiangchu State, in the upper reaches of Changjiang, there is a mountain forest, in this vast mountain forest there is a powerful country called Shu, Jiangchu people called Xishu. Shu has long coveted the Jiangchu region, but because of the strength of the Zhongzhou Dynasty did not dare to make a move, now the Jiangchu State is self-reliant, there is no foreign aid, it is a God-given opportunity, once the Jiangchu State is occupied, it can take the southern countries in the south, and go north to Zhongzhou, so the army presses the border and invades the Jiangchu State.

The invasion of Shu made the Jiang Chu State, which was still in the joy of the founding of the country, fall into the abyss, and had to pour the strength of the whole country to resist, fortunately, there is Changjiang in the south of Jiang Chu Garden, and the southern countries are not in harmony, so there is no danger, and the new Zhongzhou Dynasty is still shallow and has no time to take care of the south.

Jiang Chu and Shu held each other for several years, Jiang Chu lost a lot of cities, and finally the two countries fought a decisive battle in a long and narrow forest-Yilin. In that battle, Jiang Chu won with a fire, and the emperor of Shu died of illness on the way back to the court, because he did not appoint a crown prince to cause the prince to seize the throne, and finally the war of Shu division was quelled.

Although the war ended with the victory of Jiang Chu, the war depleted the savings of Jiang Chu for 300 years, and the founding emperor of Jiang Chu died of illness soon after, and the country was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, the emperors of Jiang Chu and later generations have worked hard to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and the national strength has flourished under the diligent administration of the six emperors for more than 180 years.

The current emperor of Jiang Chu State is named Chu Qizhen, who ascended the throne at a young age, with blood in his chest, and he wants to revive his ancestral industry. When he was young, Chu Qizhen was also a wise gentleman and had always been conscientious, but as the country became stronger, Chu Qizhen became more and more arrogant. In the autumn of last year, Chu Qizhen received news that the emperor of Xichuan Shu had just died, and as soon as the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he attacked the surrounding countries to reunify Shu.

On the one hand, he was afraid that after the unification of Xichuan, he would threaten Jiang Chu again, and on the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to expand his territory and enter Xichuan.

At the beginning, as Chu Qizhen expected, Shu was in turmoil, and there was no power to fight back, and in less than a month, Jiang Chu's army recovered several cities and went straight into Shu. Lian Zhan Lian Jie made this emperor in the prime of life forget about it, as if he would be able to create an immortal dynasty soon.

In order to motivate the morale of the army, Chu Qizhen listened to the advice of his minister Wang Zheng and drove the expedition in person, although Prime Minister Sima Li tried his best to dissuade him, but Chu Qizhen was already carried away by the victory, and did not listen at all, so he directly changed generals before the battle and went to the battlefield in person.

The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and just when Chu Qizhen commanded the advance front, the situation reversed, first of all, the Shu State suddenly annexed the countries in central Sichuan and completed the unification, and then the sergeant clan of Sichuan and even the barbarian kings of the jungles in the south of Xichuan resolutely supported the king of Xinshu and sent troops to support. And Chu Qizhen was too excited before, and the overseers went deep to make dumplings directly, and were besieged in a valley called Shengnu Peak on the border between the two countries.

The forces of Western Shu besieged Chu Qizhen under the Holy Maiden Peak, but they were not in a hurry to attack, but surrounded the point to send reinforcements, and constantly started a white-knuckle battle around the Holy Maiden Peak with the Jiang Chu army that came later. Blood stained the valley red, and the corpses of the two armies filled the ravine. In the end, Chu Qizhen escaped from Ascension after losing most of the elite of the Jiang Chu State, and when he broke through, Chu Qizhen's chest was shot through by a stray arrow that flew from nowhere, and the minister Wang Zheng was smashed to death by a brute.

Chu Qizhen died nine times in his life, and after returning to China, he couldn't afford to get sick, and when he was about to return to heaven and lack skills, civil strife broke out in Jiang Chuguo, and all this started with the three princes of Chu Qizhen.

It is said that there are three princes in this Jiangchu country: the eldest prince Chu Tianxiong is brave and brave, and the three armies are outstanding in martial arts;

the second prince Chu Tianjiao is gentle and sympathetic to the people, and the third prince Chu Tianzi is young but brilliant in literature. These three princes are all among the people, and they are deeply loved by Chu Qi, so they have never made a crown prince.

It stands to reason that the royal family is generally based on the primogeniture inheritance system, but Chu Qizhen has been undecided, and later Yuan Benchu, a veteran of the three dynasties in the court, proposed to Chu Qizhen that since the three princes are all talented, it is better to let them develop their own forces, and the most powerful one will inherit the unification at that time.

Originally, no emperor would adopt this kind of heir cultivation method with a lot of disasters, but Chu Qizhen was empty-eyed, firstly, he thought that he was in the prime of life, and now he was only in his early forties, and he was sure to suppress his son, and secondly, he was extremely ambitious to conquer the entire Xichuan and even the south, and then he might be able to let his sons divide the land and claim the king, and there was so much land that he didn't want it, so he agreed to the practice of the princes to build their own forces.

Unexpectedly, a sudden arrow on the battlefield not only pierced Chu Qizhen's chest, but also almost pierced the entire country.

The eldest prince, Chu Tianxiong, his biological mother is the current Empress He, and his grandfather is He Jin, the general of Jiang Chu. If Chu Qizhen was most injured by the defeat of the Western Expedition to Shu, then He Jin was the most frightened, because he was also one of the people who proposed to Chu Qizhen to conquer in person.

Originally, He Jin wanted to behave in front of Chu Qizhen in order to gain political capital for his grandson Chu Tianxiong, but he didn't expect Chu Qizhen's arrogant advance to lead to the defeat of the Western Front, and he was shot through with an arrow. Now Chu Qizhen's life is dying, once it is investigated, let alone whether Chu Tianxiong can succeed to the throne, there is a possibility that his life will not be guaranteed. Thinking of this, He Jin simply contacted his grandson Chu Tianxiong and his son He Yan, who was the commander of the Imperial City Forbidden Army, to prepare to force the palace to seize the throne. And the eldest prince Chu Tianxiong, himself is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, he has long been dissatisfied with his father's refusal to appoint him as the prince, and the two of them hit it off and prepared to start an incident.

However, the sky net was restored, and the conspiracy of rebellion finally fell into the ears of the second and third princes. The second prince, Chu Tianjiao, and his mother are folk women, so he does not have much power in the court, but he is diligent in government and loves the people, and has a wide range of friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes, and has great prestige among the people. The third prince Chu Tianzhi, although he is still young and has not participated in political affairs, but his teacher is Sima Li, the prime minister of the dynasty, this Sima Li is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he is only eight years old, and he is a model for students in the world.

After receiving the news of the eldest prince's rebellion, Chu Tianjiao and Sima Li immediately set up their subordinates. Chu Tianjiao ambushed a large number of retainers and dead soldiers around the imperial city to wait for the time to move, while Sima Li invited the general He Jin to the palace after the day of dispersal of the dynasty on the grounds of discussing the emperor's illness.

This He Jin is also an arrogant and arrogant person, at this time his son He Yan has completely controlled the entire palace, and his grandson Chu Tianxiong is also acting as the government with the support of his daughter Empress He, so he thinks that now the overall situation has been decided, no one dares to do anything to him, so he ignored the dissuasion of his generals to go to the banquet alone.

When He Jin came to Sima's Mansion, he obviously saw that there were soldiers in the mansion, and he still disdained it in his heart: "I am a general of the dynasty, and a group of scholars dare to bear me." The

result was this hubris that killed him.

When He Jin entered the hall, he saw a cadre of Wenchen sitting in the hall, and Sima Li was standing in the center of the ministers with his sword at his waist and waiting for He Jin

He Jin was frightened and wanted to leave, Sima Li pulled his sword to catch up with a sword and cut it to the ground, and then all the Wenchen came forward with daggers and stabbed him to death, and a generation of reckless generals finally died at the hands of all doctors.

After that, Si Li hung He Jin's head at the door, He Jin's generals were shocked, and killed the Prime Minister's Mansion to take revenge on He Jin, not wanting to be ambushed, the armor in the mansion was exhausted, and the two sides started a street battle, and this gave Chu Tianjiao a chance, he immediately summoned the warriors who had been ambushed around the imperial city to cooperate with Sima Li's armor to besiege and kill He Jin's retainers.

He Jin's generals were either killed or captured, and some of the generals who originally took refuge in He Jin also defected one after another when they saw this, and a cadre of civil and military ministers led the crowd into the imperial city, and the palace originally thought that the victory was in his hands, and the prince Chu Tianxiong rushed to the battle, leading the imperial forest army in the palace to defend the imperial city.

After a night of fierce fighting, the commander of the forbidden army, He Yan, died in the chaos, and the eldest prince Chu Tianxiong saw that the general trend had gone, and wore a dragon robe to cut himself on the dragon chair, and then Queen He was beaten into the cold palace to commit suicide by taking poison, and the He family was wiped out of the three clans.

As the saying goes, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

Finally quelled the civil strife, and the border pass sent a war report, Shu in order to avenge the invasion of Jiang Chu, united with the Southern Barbarian King to raise 500,000 troops is expected to come after the beginning of spring, this news made Chu Qizhen, who was originally a little bit back, directly shocked and vomited blood and fainted. Then, Chu Qizhen set up a recruitment list to seek a solution to this national disaster from people from all walks of life, not only promising high-ranking officials, but also taking out the treasure of the country Gu Soul Pill as a reward.

This Soul Solid Pill was awarded to the ancestors of the Chu family by the Zhongzhou Dynasty five hundred years ago in recognition of their efforts to expand the territory, and it was originally intended to be used to save Chu Qizhen's life, but Chu Qizhen knew that if the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, he would have no face to live in the world, so it was better to use this elixir to seek a way to save the country, so as not to suffer from the suffering of the people, which could be regarded as the emperor's last conscience and redemption.
