Chapter 1503: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (50)
Chapter 1506: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (Fifty)
Time flies like an arrow, years fly by, and ten years have passed in a flash.
The biggest news in the world this year is the death of Emperor Li Zili of the Wei Dynasty!
Li Zili rose to power in Yixiang, then experienced ups and downs, and finally defeated various princes and established the Wei Dynasty with Nanli State as its core.
He is a well-deserved hero of the generation, a son of destiny destined by destiny.
During his twenty-year reign, Wei's territory continued to expand outwards, the country became increasingly powerful, and its prestige was unmatched.
The founding emperor of the Wei Dynasty was actually not very old, and he was an innate warrior himself. His sudden fall shocked countless people.
Wang Chen, who was far away in Yunmeng Daze Tianyun City, only received the news on the seventh day after Li Zili's death.
There is no way, the communication system in the mortal world is very primitive. Even if the message is sent through a falcon, it will take several days to reach it thousands of miles from north to south - in fact, it is already extremely fast.
Wang Chen was also a little surprised.
The last time he saw the Wei emperor in Changyi, he didn't see any sign of decline. He estimated that Li Zili would have no problem living another twenty or thirty years.
Now, only ten years have passed, which is really abnormal.
In the next few months, more news was continuously delivered from Changyi to Tianyun City.
Li Zili's sudden death had a great impact on the originally stable and prosperous situation of the Wei Dynasty.
Since Li Zili never established a crown prince, several princes of equal strength started a fierce fight, and even Changyi was affected by the war, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.
As a result, when these princes fought so hard that both sides suffered losses, the ninth prince Li Yuanhao, who was far away in the Western Regions to conquer foreign races, suddenly secretly returned to Changyi and led 5,000 cavalry to crush all his opponents.
Finally, the young prince, who was brave and good at fighting, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor with the support of many veterans and generals.
Founding title: Hongwu.
As a result, the situation between the court and the public in the Wei Dynasty was calmed down.
Wang Chen was not interested in who would become the emperor, he was just curious about the reason for Li Zili's death.
The answer was not revealed until a year later by an insider.
When Li Zili was trying to reach the realm of the Grand Master, he accidentally went crazy, causing his Dantian to self-destruct and his meridians to break off. He finally struggled painfully for three days before dying.
It is said that the Wei emperor appointed a crown prince before his death, but at this time he could no longer control the overall situation.
Wang Chen was speechless after knowing the answer.
Li Zili is the king of a country. He is the dragon spirit of the Wei Dynasty and carries the huge destiny of the country. It is already the limit to reach the innate realm, and it is impossible to break through it.
Li Zili's attack on the Grand Master is undoubtedly acting against nature, and it is inevitable that he will suffer backlash!
It can only be said that the unrestricted power blinded his rationality, thinking that he was omnipotent, and ended up ruining his life.
This can also be regarded as the cycle of karma and retribution.
Three years after arriving in Hongwu, Wang Chen welcomed his first grandchild.
Wang Chen married one wife and two concubines, and gave birth to five sons and four daughters, a total of nine children. After that, he never gave birth to any new children.
It’s not that I can’t, but I feel like it’s enough.
In the next ten years, Wang Chen's children, except Wang Zhenzhen, married men and women one after another, and the family size and power continued to expand.
As for his most beloved eldest daughter, Wang Zhenzhen, after her first attempt at the Grand Master realm failed, she swore to Heaven that she would never marry, and then traveled alone in search of inspiration to break through the realm.
In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Wang Zhenzhen returned to Tianyun City.
Already the supreme master!
Then follow Wang Chen to continue practicing quietly.
In the same year, Wang Chen sent away his father-in-law Ye Xiangming.
On the day of Ye Xiangming's funeral, the entire city was filled with mourning and honor, and Emperor Hongwu sent a special envoy to see him off.
Starting from the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, the Wei Dynasty stopped its pace of expansion.
Due to years of continuous foreign aggression, the Wei Dynasty's national power has reached its limit, and the territory it has swallowed is dozens of times that of the Nanli Kingdom. The vastness of the territory can be said to be unprecedented.
Under such circumstances, Emperor Hongwu wisely suppressed his territorial ambitions and turned to recuperation and restoration of national strength.
By the 20th year of Hongwu, the Wei Dynasty had basically solved the problem of internal troubles and entered a period of all-round development.
In the 21st year of Hongwu, Wang Chen suddenly received a secret report from Changyi.
The Wei Dynasty had a great master!
His name is Huo Wuji.
This name evoked Wang Chen's memory, reminding him that he once gave the secret book of "Nine Yang Magic" to a young boy.
Unexpectedly, this young man has entered the realm of the supreme master.
As expected of a son of fate with profound causes and consequences, he was born in response to a calamity, and he actually broke through the extreme realm by relying on an abridged version of the technique.
Although Wang Chen didn't care about this, he felt that this guy would still be involved with him.
But Wang Chen's intuition was not wrong. Three years later, in the 24th year of Hongwu's reign, he received a secret report from Changyi again.
Emperor Hongwu decided to send 300,000 elite troops to conquer Yunmeng Daze, and the commander he appointed was Huo Wuji.
In addition, Huo Wuji is no longer the only great master in the Wei Dynasty. There is another great master from the imperial palace who will participate in the conquest of Yunmeng Daze.
As for the reason why Emperor Hongwu conquered Yunmeng Daze, it is said that it was Li Zili’s last wish!
After Wang Chen understood the situation, he handed this information to Wang Zhenzhen: "Zhen'er, what do you think?"
Although thirty years have passed and Wang Zhenzhen is now in her forties, her appearance is still that of a young girl, but her temperament has become colder and she has lost the innocence and naivety of the past.
Faced with the threat of the Wei Dynasty's 300,000 elite soldiers and two great masters, Wang Zhenzhen said calmly: "Dad, I think we should teach the Li family a lesson to prevent them from always being evil."
Wang Chen chuckled: "If this matter is left to you, how do you plan to solve it?"
Wang Zhenzhen thought for a while and replied: "My daughter went to Changyi once and solved the culprit, and the problem will naturally disappear."
"inappropriate."
Wang Chen shook his head: "You still have to push the final limit of martial arts. If you kill Li Yuanhao, you will definitely be counterattacked by the Great Wei Dynasty, and the gain will outweigh the loss."
"Then kill Huo Wuji and the other great master."
Wang Zhenzhen said without hesitation: "If you can't kill him directly, then cut off his hands and feet!"
Of course she has not forgotten Huo Wuji, after all, this young man from the past once left a shadow in her heart.
But this shadow quickly dissipated, and now there is only one name left.
"very good."
Wang Chen asked: "Do you want dad to go with you?"
"Need not."
Wang Zhenzhen raised her head, her eyes as bright as stardust were calm and calm: "My daughter is enough alone."
At this moment, Wang Zhenzhen was like a sword that had been dusty for a long time, suddenly showing its sharp edge.
