Ever since he got to know Wang Mingzhen, Li Yuan seemed to have good fortune, and he successively served as the governor of Qiao, Qi, and Long Prefectures, and his official career was prosperous!
When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian passed away, Li Yuan followed Wang Mingzhen's advice and pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger, drank alcohol and accepted bribes, and defiled himself in order to protect himself.
In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the world was in chaos. Li Yuan raised troops from Taiyuan, ostensibly under the banner of "aiming to respect the Sui Dynasty", and led 30,000 soldiers to march directly to Chang'an.
In October of the same year, Li Yuan occupied Chang'an, honored the acting king Yang You as the emperor, used Huang Yue as his envoy to control the festival, made him the governor of all internal and external military affairs, became the prime minister, recorded the affairs of the minister, and promoted him to the title of king of Tang Dynasty.
The following year, Li Yuan accepted the abdication of Emperor Gong of the Sui Dynasty Yang You, proclaimed himself emperor in the Taiji Hall, established the Tang Dynasty, and initiated the rule of martial virtue.
In the first year of Wude, with Li Shimin as the marshal, he led the troops to defeat Xue Ju and Xue Rengao, and pacified the northwest region.
In the second year of Wude, the rebel generals An Xinggui and An Xiuren of Li Gui's tribe captured Li Gui and pacified the Hexi area.
In the third year of Wude, with Li Shimin as the marshal, he defeated Song Jingang and Liu Wu's Zhou tribe, occupied the Shanxi area, and completely consolidated his rule over the Guanzhong area.
In the fourth year of Wude, Li Shimin adopted the strategy of "encircling Zheng and attacking Xia", pacifying the two princes Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in one fell swoop, and pacifying the Guandong region.
In the same year, with Li Xiaogong as the commander-in-chief of Jinghu Road and Li Jing as the commander-in-chief of the march, he commanded the Twelve Army of the Land and Water, defeated Xiao Xian, and pacified the Jinghu area. He recruited Feng An from Lingnan to surrender and pacified Lingnan.
In the fifth year of Wude, Li Shimin defeated Liu Hehe and Xu Yuanlang's tribe and pacified the Hebei area.
In the sixth year of Wude, Li Xiaogong was the commander-in-chief, and he led the generals to march by land and water to conquer Fu Gong'er and pacify the Jiangnan area.
At this point, almost all the ancient land of Kyushu became the territory of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was about to usher in an unprecedented prosperous age.
In the ninth year of Wude, Qin King Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Rebellion and killed the crown prince Li Jiancheng. Qi King Li Yuanji placed Li Yuan under house arrest and began to take charge of the Tang Dynasty.
In the Chang'an City Imperial Palace, Tai Chi Hall, Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair with a livid complexion, his face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were filled with evil spirits, and the atmosphere in the hall was solemn.
"Your Majesty, King Qin wants to see you!" the voice of the chamberlain came from outside the palace.
"No, let this traitor get out of here!" Li Yuan roared angrily.
"Father, I would like to see you." The voice of King Qin Li Shimin came from outside the hall.
With a "pop" sound, Li Yuan threw his favorite tea cup to the ground, tea splashed all over the floor, and he roared angrily again.
"You unfilial son! Executioner! Get out of here, I don't want to see you again in this life!"
Li Yuan screamed at the top of his lungs, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart. The servants around him were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling, for fear of being angered.
After all, everyone knew that since the Xuanwumen Incident, the King of Qin was the real master of the Tang Dynasty.
"Since you named your son Shimin, don't you just hope that he can help the world and bring peace to the people?"
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he left the Tai Chi Hall without looking back. There was a fire in his heart. He wanted to prove to his father that becoming emperor was the best choice for the Tang Dynasty!
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan couldn't help but froze on the spot, and the past pictures appeared in his mind.
It was more than twenty years ago, when he was still the Duke of Tang Dynasty. When he and his wife returned from an outing, they met a young man in black clothes.
He still clearly remembers how free and easy that young man in black clothes was, as if he had been banished to the mortal world.
Seeing his extraordinary demeanor, he invited the man to his mansion as a guest. They had a great conversation. The man was knowledgeable and seemed to know everything, and he regarded him as his lifelong confidant.
Even the name of his second son comes from a comment made by the other party: "This son will definitely be able to help the world and bring peace to the people when he is twenty years old."
Before the man left, he left three tips for him to open at a critical moment, and he would surely be able to make all his wishes come true and turn danger into good luck!
At that time, Li Yuan was jealous of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and saw that his life was in danger. With the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he opened the first tip bag, which recorded the strategy of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
It was precisely with this strategy that he became prosperous under Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, and accumulated a lot of political capital.
Before revolting in Taiyuan, Li Yuan opened his second kit, which contained eight characters: "Destiny lies in the Tang Dynasty, and disaster comes from Xiao Qiang!"
At that time, his mind was completely attracted by "Destiny is in the Tang Dynasty", and his subconscious mind forgot about "Misfortune caused Xiao Qiang".
Before ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, Li Yuan opened his third kit. The record inside was very mysterious: "Li Er is the ancestor!"
It was with these three tips that the foundation of the Qi of the Tang Dynasty was laid. Only then did Li Yuan understand that this man was not an ordinary person, but an immortal god playing games in the world of mortals.
At this time, thinking of the warning that "Destiny is in the Tang Dynasty, disaster comes from Xiao Qiang", Li Yuan regretted it too late!
It turns out that my husband had early warning, but unfortunately he was deceived by "Destiny is in the Tang Dynasty" and failed to take precautions, so he planted such a disaster!
Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but slumped down on the dragon chair, his expression extremely decadent. From then on, he was addicted to wine and sex, drunkenly and dreamily!
Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye it is the thirteenth year of Zhenguan. After more than ten years of recuperation, the Tang Dynasty's national power is booming, and it seems that the prosperous age is approaching!
At this time, a strange man came to the west market of Chang'an City. This strange man was the uncle of Yuan Tiangang, the imperial eunuch at that time, and he was also Yuan Shoucheng.
Yuan Shoucheng had extraordinary charisma, and his fortune-telling and fortune-telling were all efficacious. In just half a month, he became famous in Chang'an City, and there was an endless stream of dignitaries who came to him for fortune-telling.
But this Yuan Shoucheng always only depends on fate when fortune telling. If there is fate, he will not take any money and only make a small request. If there is no fate, even the royal family and nobles will not want him to tell fortunes.
On this day, Yuan Shoucheng was still setting up a stall to tell fortunes, but a fisherman wearing a raincoat, a bamboo hat on his head, a fish basket hanging on his waist, and a fishing rod on his shoulder came forward.
I saw the fisherman with a smile on his face. He took out a golden carp from the fish basket. With a smile on his face, he complimented: "Sir, your calculation is really accurate. I am really convinced, Lao Zhang. This golden carp is what we promised."
Gua Zi."
Yuan Shoucheng looked up at the fisherman and said calmly: "Did you believe it this time?"
"I believe it, I believe it, sir, he is really a god! According to your instructions, he is really able to do it a hundred times, it is simply a god!"
After saying that, the fisherman raised his thumb and boasted loudly.
Yuan Shoucheng smiled and said nothing, and the fisherman also stepped back knowingly. After seeing Yuan Shoucheng's magical power, he naturally wanted to build a good relationship so that he could get more guidance in the future.
After the fisherman's propaganda, the people around him became more anxious and begged Yuan Shoucheng for advice. However, Yuan Shoucheng sat on his chair, unmoving, closing his eyes and concentrating.
"Sir, can you read my palm for me?" A gentle voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
As soon as he finished speaking, a scholar in black clothes with a face like a crown jade and a dragon-like appearance came slowly towards him, with a sense of carefreeness as he walked.
Seeing the extraordinary scholarly attitude, everyone around him tacitly moved aside to allow the scholar in Xuanyi to pass.
Yuan Shoucheng was also awakened by this voice. He raised his head and looked at the scholar in Xuanyi walking slowly, his eyes were extremely horrified.
If others couldn't see it, how could he not see it? This scholar was obviously no ordinary person. Although he concealed his feet, the magnanimity between his brows was so precious that he didn't dare to show any slights at that moment!
"I don't know what you are doing here, sir?"
Yuan Shoucheng was very polite in his words, which surprised the onlookers around him. This fortune teller usually ignored even the royal family members, but he never expected to be so polite to this scholar!
"Since I'm here, of course I'm here for fortune telling, sir, do you dare to tell fortunes?" Scholar Xuan Yi said with a chuckle.
"Why don't you dare? Since Mr. Yuan is here, how dare you let Mr. Yuan go back empty-handed! Please extend your hand, sir, and I will read your palm for him."
Hearing this, scholar Xuanyi stretched out his right hand and faced Yuan Shoucheng with his palm. Yuan Shoucheng's eyes looked at the lines on the palm. He also wanted to see where this person came from.
Yuan Shoucheng still had quite a lot of information about the secrets of heaven. He activated his magical power, and with a faint light shining in his eyes, he looked directly at the scholar's palm.
At this time, Yuan Shoucheng felt as if his mind had entered a chaotic void, with no top and no bottom, no left and no right, chaos and disorder.
At this moment, his mind was shaken and he couldn't control it. He snorted softly before getting out of this strange situation.
Looking at the smiling scholar Xuan Yi in front of him, Yuan Shoucheng's eyes became more frightened, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Sir, your Taoism is as high as the heavens. He jumps out of the Three Realms and is not among the Five Elements. How can I be able to read this palmistry with my humble Taoism? Sir, please show your respect. If you have any questions, Yuan should tell you."
"I only have one question when I come here, who is behind you?" Scholar Xuanyi stared at Yuan Shoucheng with burning eyes and asked.
When watching Journey to the West, he was quite confused about this. Is behind Yuan Shoucheng Buddhism or Heaven? Both are possible!
Yuan Shoucheng did not answer immediately, but asked: "Who is this gentleman who I haven't asked yet?"
"Someone once called me the First Emperor!"
Yuan Shoucheng was stunned when he heard this and almost fell to the ground in shock. Qin Shihuang Yingzheng was a ruthless character who rebelled against heaven. Even the Jade Emperor was sent to reincarnation and passed away.
According to the rumors, wasn't this person suffering from the backlash of human energy and already dead? Now, he has returned against the will of heaven. This is too terrible! The water in it is deep enough to easily submerge his small body.
Yuan Shoucheng knew that the existence of this realm would not deceive him, so he quickly raised his hand and pointed to the sky.
Wang Mingzhen nodded in understanding and sneered: "It is indeed the Supreme One who still likes to play tricks as always!"
Seeing Wang Mingzhen disappearing quietly, Yuan Shoucheng felt as if he was being pardoned, and his hanging heart finally let go.
As for reporting the news about the First Emperor, Yuan Shoucheng thought for a while and immediately gave up the idea. Such matters between existences were not something that his level of cultivation could involve in!
For the next month, Yuan Shoucheng kept instructing the fisherman to fish with the net, and he always caught fish. At least one golden carp was caught every day.
This golden carp is a descendant of the Jinghe Dragon Clan. It contains a trace of true dragon blood in its body and has the possibility of transforming into a dragon!
Catching a large number of golden carps is equivalent to weakening the foundation of the Jinghe River aquatic community. How can the Jinghe Dragon Palace just give up!
After the Yaksha patrolling the river heard about this, he hurriedly reported it to the Dragon King of Jinghe River. Upon hearing this, the Dragon King of Jinghe River turned pale, turned into a white-robed scholar, and went to settle accounts with Yuan Shoucheng.
The Dragon King of Jinghe River came to Yuan Shoucheng's hexagram stall. A flash of light flashed deep in Yuan Shoucheng's eyes. He invited the Dragon King to take a seat, served tea, and said lightly: "I wonder what you want to ask, sir?"
The Dragon King of Jinghe laughed loudly and said: "I would like to ask you, sir, to predict whether the weather will be cloudy or sunny?"
Yuan Shoucheng counted with his fingers and said: "The clouds are confusing the top of the mountain, and the fog is covering the forest tops. If there is rain, it will definitely be in the Ming Dynasty. Clouds will appear at the hour of the day, thunder will occur at the hour of the day, it will rain at noon, and it will rain at the end of the day. There will be three feet of water in total."
Three inches and forty-eight points.”
The Dragon King of Jinghe laughed loudly when he heard this. The rain in the world has its own set number. He, the majestic general manager of the Eight Rivers, and the Great Dragon God Si Siyu have not received the imperial decree from heaven. How can a mere human magician calculate it?
The Dragon King of Jinghe said with a smile: "This is not a joke. If it rains tomorrow, depending on the number of hours you have stopped, I will give you fifty taels of tuition money as a thank you.
If there is no rain, or the number is not according to the hour, I tell you the truth, I will destroy your facade, tear your signboard to pieces, drive you out of Chang'an, and you are not allowed to confuse the public here!"
Yuan Shoucheng replied happily: "It's all up to you. Please meet me after the rain tomorrow!"
After the Dragon King of Jinghe returned to the Dragon Palace, he told the truth about his bet with Yuan Shoucheng.
All the water tribesmen in the Dragon Palace laughed one after another and said: "Your Majesty is the general manager of Bahedu and the Great Dragon God who is responsible for rain. If there is rain or not, how could you not know that this person who sells fortune-telling will definitely lose."
At this moment, a powerful man in golden clothes, holding the Jade Emperor's decree in his hand, came straight to the water house. He stood in front of the water house and said: "The Dragon King of Jinghe River receives the decree."
The Dragon King was so panicked that he straightened his clothes and solemnly burned incense to receive the order. The warrior in golden clothes returned to the sky and left. The Dragon King thanked him. When he opened the package and looked at it, it read: "I ordered Bahe General to drive away thunder and lightning; Ming Dynasty Shi Yuze, Puji
Chang'an City."
The number of hours in the decree was exactly the same as that judged by the gentleman, and it frightened the Dragon King of Jinghe to death.
At this time, the Jinghe Dragon Palace's military advisor rolled his eyes and suggested to the Dragon King that the rain should be delayed by a few hours and a few points, so the fortune teller would definitely lose!
The Jinghe Dragon King followed the plan, and then went to find trouble with Yuan Shoucheng. Yuan Shoucheng was unhurried and pointed out that the Jinghe Dragon King had violated the Jade Emperor's edict, changed the time, defeated the points, violated the laws of heaven, and wanted to
Take a walk on the dragon cutting platform!
When the Dragon King of Jinghe heard this, he was frightened and his hair stood on end. He straightened his clothes and bowed, and knelt down to pray to Yuan Shoucheng for guidance on a way out.
Yuan Shoucheng said with a smile: "I can't save you, but at three o'clock tomorrow, the official Wei Zheng will be responsible for killing you. You can go to the Emperor of Tang for help, and you should be able to protect yourself!"
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had human Dao Qi to protect his body, invulnerable to all laws, and immortals and gods to overcome changes. However, when the Dragon King of Jinghe was not born, the Immortal Qin was destroyed. By chance, the last qi of the Immortal Qin was fused with it, which can be said to be the remaining Qi of the Immortal Qin.
Born out of water.
It was precisely with the help of this ray of Immortal Qin Qi that protected his body that the Jinghe Dragon King successfully broke through the Qi Dragon of the Tang Dynasty and successfully entrusted a dream to Tang Emperor Li Shimin to ask for help.
Tang Emperor Li Shimin agreed to the Jinghe Dragon King's request. At noon the next day, Li Shimin invited Wei Zheng to play chess. Who would have thought that Wei Zheng deliberately fell asleep, and in his dream his soul came out of his body and killed the Jinghe Dragon King.
