It was hosted by the patriarch of the Li family, and the guests at the banquet were all direct descendants, collateral descendants, and even some promising people who were the descendants of Li Xiuyuan.
There are both scholars and brave men.
Li Shan was the senior one. He squinted his eyes and sat on the main seat, stroking his beard and smiling like an elder.
Little did they know that he was just a little kid in his original form. Even after seventy years, this ginseng baby is still a ginseng baby. His current appearance is just a deliberate change in order not to surprise mortals.
Seeing the respect given to him by all the guests, the ginseng baby felt that the peak moment of his life had come.
Although Li Xiuyuan of Lanruo Temple is not dead yet, he rarely beats himself, especially after he gained weight.
"Someone, please go outside and see. Hu Lanyu hasn't come yet?" Li Shanchang said.
A young man from the Li family immediately agreed and left the house to wait for Hu Lanyu.
Not long after, a man wearing a green shirt and with a handsome appearance that was not like a human being walked into Li's house. He glanced at it and then said, "Where is Mr. Li? Isn't he here?"
"The foster father does not intend to attend the banquet." Li Shanchang said with a smile: "With you and me here, there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved. From now on, you will be General Lanyu, and I will be Prime Minister Li. We have a close relationship with civil and military officials to help Zhu."
Chongba's attempt to pacify the world is just a matter of backhand."
"Aren't you afraid of being caught and eaten after you go out this time?" Hu Lanyu said.
"My foster father is still alive, who in this world dares to eat me?" Li Shanchang said somewhat proudly.
"How many soldiers, horses, and military pay have the Li family accumulated over the years?" Hu Lanyu said: "Young master Li's layout is invisible. He must have been 100% sure that he asked my little sister to let me go out."
"Enough to conquer the world." Li Shanchang said.
Hu Lanyu said: "That's good, then who will raise the troops?"
"A descendant of the Li family, named Li Zixing, took the surname Guo from Guobei County and took the pseudonym Guo Zixing with the money and food the Li family had accumulated for decades to start a war first in order to hide it from others and not to implicate the Li family.
After the soldiers were mobilized, they found Zhu Chongba to join the army, and then helped him to rise to power and help him conquer the world.
, the adoptive father said that he inherited the great fortune of Saint Zhu and would create a prosperous dynasty."
"How do you succeed and retire after conquering the world?" Hu Lanyu asked.
Li Shanchang said: "But you and I fight openly and secretly, pretend to rebel, attack each other, and finally retreat into the mountains by pretending to die. Is it possible that we will still miss the worldly dignitaries? We only need to leave a few of the Li family.
It is enough for future generations to stay in the imperial court and ensure the prosperity of the Li family."
"It seems that you have indeed learned a lot from Mr. Li. In that case, let's settle the matter like this." Hu Lanyu nodded.
With his intelligence, he didn't need to ask so many questions. He was just testing Li Shan's abilities. If he still raised the army in a weird style, then he would suggest that Li Xiuyuan replace him with someone else.
Facts have proved that Li Shanchang has indeed become cunning and cunning, and he has become a bit like a human spirit, without the recklessness and ignorance of the ginseng boy back then.
At this moment, a wandering Taoist priest came to Guobei County. After he walked around Guobei County, he was shocked and said: "Why is there so many princes and generals hidden in this small county? What on earth is this?"
Where? Could it be the land of Longxing?"
This year Zhu Chongba was just like a monk in the temple.
But time flies and ten years have passed.
A major event happened within these ten years, that is, a man named Guo Zixing appeared out of nowhere, spent a lot of money, and had enough money and food to raise an army and quell the chaos.
In the same year, Zhu Chongba enlisted in the army.
The following year, Zhu Chongba married Guo Zixing's adopted daughter Ma, whose Ma family identity was a descendant of Ma Dong. After that, Zhu Chongba officially changed his name to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Five years later, Guo Zixing died of illness. Zhu Yuanzhang took over the army, with Li Shanchang as his staff and Lan Yu as his general, and began a war that swept the world.
With heroes vying for the throne, the world has become more chaotic than before.
But this was the great chaos before the great rule.
Five years later, Zhu Yuanzhang led his army to a decisive battle at Poyang Lake. His opponent was Chen Youliang.
When he heard about this battle, Li Xiuyuan of Lanruo Temple was suddenly stunned: "The decisive battle against Chen Youliang at Poyang Lake? Isn't that place the territory of the Lord of West Lake? I remember that before I was twenty years old, during the battle in Jinling City, a waterman escaped
Mr. Chen, the thief, what is his relationship with Chen Youliang?"
Sister Hu San said, "Then Chen Youliang is the reincarnation of the Lord of the West Lake. The husband's path has been completed, and ghosts and spirits have begun to avoid the world, but the Lord of the West Lake does not seem to give up."
"Really? That old thief is really alive. He didn't kill him back then and let him live till now. Now he has been waiting for a hundred years and it just appeared now. Since ghosts and gods have joined the war, we can't be careful and let him
The King of Yangtze River and the Eight Great Kings should go to Poyang Lake and don’t let the Lord of West Lake influence them.
The trend of the world, by the way, I asked Li Shanchang, Mr. Chen still has a book of life and death in his hand, remember to get it for me after killing that guy." Li Xiuyuan said.
Although he is more than a hundred years old, he is not dead yet. He has lost weight over the years and his appearance has returned to that of his youth.
He asked Sanjie Hu that the medicinal power of thousand-year-old polygonum multiflorum essence is so amazing. In addition, he has been taking the fairy fruit all year round, and his appearance has not changed and his body has not aged.
If you want to die, you can only wait for the day when your life span runs out.
He asked Wang Ping how long he would live, but Wang Ping didn't tell him, only that he still had a lot of time left before the end of his life.
The following month.
The Yangtze River King and the Eight Great Kings lead the water spirits of the large and small lakes in the south and go northward against the water into Poyang Lake.
March.
Poyang Lake has a howling wind, continuous rain, and frequent strange phenomena. The lake surface often stirs up big waves and rolls up whirlpools, making it simply unsuitable for warships to go into battle.
This bought Zhu Yuanzhang, who was short of warships, valuable time to build a warship.
In May, the strange phenomenon in the lake gradually subsided, and then the bodies of many big fish, big turtles, and crocodiles floated on the water, and the lake surface was dyed red with blood.
The Lord of West Lake suffered a disastrous defeat in this battle.
In the water battle, the Eight Kings and the Yangtze River King won, the Poyang Lake waters changed hands, Mr. Chen lost his geographical advantage, and the situation was reversed.
In June, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the right time, place and people. He raised his troops to defeat Chen Youliang and killed him. From then on, his reputation was so powerful that no one could stop him.
In the same year, Li Shanchang asked ghosts and gods to deliver the last book of life and death. Hei Wuchang escorted it to Li Xiuyuan, and then entered the underworld.
Since then, the nine books of life and death in the underworld have been gathered together, and the lonely ghosts remaining in the world have been cured.
A few years later.
After Li Xiuyuan left Lanruo Temple, he went to Changshou Town, climbed Immortal Mountain, and returned to his master's gate again.
When he reached the top of a mountain peak, a red dragon roared and appeared among the clouds and mist.
"You are the divine dragon in the sky. You were caught by me and have been living in this mountain forest. I want to ask you to become the guardian dragon of a new dynasty in the world and guard the new dynasty. I hope you can agree." Li Xiuyuan said and took out the dragon.
He asked many pieces of Emperor Liujian: "This is the reward for you, one Emperor Liujian
The syrup can increase your Taoism for a hundred years. In exchange, if you eat one piece, you will protect the country for a hundred years."
"If you agree, please take the emperor's liquid."
The red dragon let out a dragon roar and swallowed three pieces of emperor ooze, then flew out of the mountain and rushed into the mortal world.
The following year, Zhu Yuanzhang settled the troubled times and established the Ming Dynasty.
The world is finally settled.
But soon after the great rule of the world, strange things began to happen in the court.
First, Hu Weiyong was killed, and then the general Lan Yu was executed for rebelling. Then, because officials sent by Hu Weiyong were held accountable, Li Shanchang and his Yigan were also executed.
Several of the great Wencheng generals who conquered the world back then were slaughtered and disappeared from the imperial court ever since.
Many people in the world talk about Zhu Yuanzhang's death.
The elderly Zhu Yuanzhang roared on the Golden Palace: "I am not a ruthless and unjust person, and I am not a villain who can only share hardships but not enjoy blessings. My mentor taught me benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety when he taught me elementary school. Li Shanchang wants to punish Hu Weiyong.
, Hu Weiyong also accused my general Lan Yu of treason, civil and military
The officials were killing each other, and all the old ministers of my dynasty were dead. Even in the struggle for power, there must be a winner. In the end, there was no one. They were all killing each other. All the deaths are unknown.
Bai, I didn't even issue an order, so I killed all their descendants, wives, and concubines before I had time to hold them accountable.
The person who created the figurines is dead. I am not afraid of historical records or criticism from future generations, but I have to let me figure it out."
But no one answered his question.
The Hu Weiyong case, the Li Shanchang case, and the Lan Yu case have become a mystery. Historians don't know how to record them, so they have to bite the bullet and write that they were arrogant because of favor, tried to rebel, and were executed by the emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang carried a big pot on his back in confusion. It was not until he died of old age that he went to the underworld and asked Yan Wang that he understood what was going on.
That night, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he ran out of the underworld and chased Li Shanchang, who had faked his death, in Guobei County. He chased Li Shanchang for dozens of miles along the mountain road.
Li Shanchang said while running: "Zhu Chongba, why don't you go after that Hu Lanyu? He is in Daqingshan. Didn't your adoptive father tell you to think that I like to govern the world for you? I am tired and want to dismiss you but you don't want to.
What kind of official do you want me to be? How can I get away without cheating my death?"
"And when you were alive, don't order to find your ancestral graves. If you kneel on a grave, blow it up. No ordinary grave can withstand you kneeling down to worship. Your ancestor is Zhu Shengren of the Song Dynasty, and you have inherited Zhu Shengren.
Only with the great fortune can you have the destiny of an emperor and conquer the world, otherwise you, a cowherd boy, are afraid
I have been herding cattle all my life."
"You dare to scold me?" Zhu Yuanzhang's ghost was furious.
"I'm just scolding you, what can you do? The dead emperor is the Yin Emperor's son. You didn't know where you were when your adoptive father killed a Yin Emperor in the Han Dynasty." Li Shanchang said proudly as he ran.
I have been groveling in front of this kid for decades, and now I can stand up and make the decision. Not to mention how comfortable it is.
However, with this merit of governing the world and calming down the troubled times, he, the ginseng spirit, has finally come to an end and has the capital to become an immortal.
Hu Lanyu is no longer a thousand-year-old fox spirit. With this merit, she has become a fox spirit and is free in the world.
As for the Li family in Guobei County, because many of their descendants were officials in the court, they are still prosperous, and their descendants are all over Yangzhou.
