The summer of the 40th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty.
In an unknown ruined temple in the east of Zhengtai County, a middle-aged man wearing tattered Taoist robes and a bearded face walked in quickly, trotting and saying: "Get up quickly, the Ming army is catching up, we have to
Leave quickly!"
At this time, a strong man dressed in short robes and holding a butcher's knife walked out of the room and asked: "Prime Minister Liu, what's going on? Are the officers and soldiers chasing you again?"
The middle-aged man in robes, who was called Prime Minister Liu, had a nervous look on his face: "Yes, they are at the foot of the mountain. It's too late if they don't leave. Where are General Chen, the Crown Prince and the Queen?"
Before General Chen, who was holding a butcher's knife, could speak, a middle-aged woman with a fat face and a round waist came out: "What? Are the officers and soldiers catching up again?"
Without waiting for the two people in front of her to reply, the woman started talking to herself and yelling: "It's all my fault, that damn old man, I'm living a good life, but in my dream I thought I was really destined to be the emperor.
And you, Liu Bagou, are also obsessed. If you hadn't bewitched our old man, he wouldn't have done anything to proclaim himself an emperor and build a country.
It’s better now. Our family is broken up and everyone is dead. If the old man dies, he will die as well. He also caused us, mother and son, to be chased like dogs by the government. There is no way we can survive this day!”
The woman yelled louder and louder, causing Prime Minister Liu and General Chen in front of her to look at each other. After a while, General Chen said: "What time has it been? You are still talking about this, we have to leave quickly.
Otherwise, if the officers and soldiers catch up, they won’t be able to leave. Where is the prince?"
"You bastard prince, our Xuan'er is very good at studying and is about to be admitted as a scholar. This great future has been ruined by you!" The woman became more and more excited as she yelled and scolded, and even stretched out her hand to point.
He was cursing at Prime Minister Liu's nose.
At this time, the prince they were talking about was in the room. He was a young man of about sixteen years old, named Li Xuan. He did not have the handsome features in the novel, nor was he eight feet tall or as tall as a tiger.
He is just an ordinary young man with this appearance and figure. If he were thrown into a crowd, his mother would not be able to find him for a while.
It's just that this ordinary-looking young man was wearing a khaki robe and had a sad look on his face that a young man shouldn't have. At this time, he was blaming God in his heart.
He was originally an ordinary person in the new century, and he finally managed to seduce the girl at the front desk of the company. Within a few days, he was struck by lightning, and when he woke up, he dreamed that he had returned to the Ming Dynasty four hundred years ago.
Forty years of Zhengde.
But that's not all, he discovered that he was actually a 'prince'!
After merging the original memory, he found that strange things happened every year, especially this year. It was not surprising that he had traveled through time. What was really strange was that his original father, Li Erbi, was originally just a rich country man who had never been to the capital in his life.
I had a dream one night. I dreamed that I dug a stone, and there were words written on it about mountains and rivers changing owners, and the virtuous people to live there.
This made Li Erbi very excited, thinking that he was the virtuous man, and then he went to the village head Taoist Liu, who also had no knowledge, to inquire. Taoist Liu counted his fingers and said that Li Xuan's father was destined by God to be the nine-year-old.
The Lord of Five, the Lord of China.
Then...then Li Xuan's father actually ascended the throne and founded the country...
He claimed that he was a descendant of Li Tang, founded the Tang Dynasty, was awarded the title of Anjian, and named Liu Bagou the prime minister, Chen Butcher from the same village as the general of Yuwei, and his wife's brother Bai Yunqi as the hussar general.
The general made his wife the queen and his son Li Xuan the prince. In short, everything in this novel is there.
As a result, a small dynasty with only more than 300 villagers serving as citizens was established in a grand manner. However, half a year later, when the county magistrate of Zhengtai County learned that a landowner in his jurisdiction, Lao Cai, who had never seen the world, actually ascended the throne and founded the country, he was very happy.
Didn't sleep all night.
This is a serious crime of rebellion. If he quells this rebellion, it will not be a matter of minutes for him to be promoted. So the county magistrate happily brought hundreds of county heroes who had been patched together here and there.
attack.
The result was no surprise. The dynasty established by Li Xuan's father evaporated even after a day. As the emperor, Li Xuan's father was beheaded on the spot, while the others fled in all directions.
Prime Minister Liu Bagou, General Yu Wei Chen Tufu and dozens of other people fled with the Queen and Prince Li Xuan. This was not because these people wanted to escape with them, but because they couldn't escape, and the government had already determined that this was a conspiracy.
It is a serious crime, and everyone wants to catch them, but they are promoted to nobility.
When Li Xuan learned that he had become a prince who was like a joke in the eyes of outsiders, Li Xuan felt as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. It felt like everything.
Many feelings were summed up and turned into one word: Fuck!
But now, it is obvious that there is not much time for him to sigh, because the officers and soldiers are about to catch up. If he doesn't escape at this time, why should he stay here and wait to die?
As a result, these twenty or so people began to pack their bags in a noisy manner, and once again went into the deep mountains and forests.
More than an hour after Li Xuan and others left, an official wearing a seventh-grade official robe and a goatee stood in front of the ruined temple: "Search me, I don't believe they can still fly out."
The palm of my hand!"
He clasped his hands behind his back and stood high-spirited. While drinking the water handed to him by the bastard next to him, he was already thinking about how to present a message to the court.
It should be written like this at the beginning: I was shocked to hear a month ago that Li Er in Lijia Village would raise his flag to plot rebellion, build a pseudo-Tang Hao and build thousands of troops.
The conscience of heaven and earth, there are only more than 300 people in Lijia Village. Even if you include chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, there are only a few thousand people. But this is reporting to the superiors. If you don’t make the enemy more powerful, how can you highlight yourself?
Where is his great contribution?
The next thing to write is this: I led the county's three hundred warriors to defeat Li Ni, fought hard for three days and three nights, and killed three thousand enemy soldiers. I fought hard to take the enemy's head ten levels, and wore hundreds of wounds, and beheaded the false emperor Li Erbi on the spot.
If you ask him how he beheaded ten people and wore hundreds of wounds on them, the answer is: no one was beheaded, but there must have been more than a dozen ants trampled to death on the road. Maybe there were hundreds more.
Although I didn't get stabbed, I still had a lot of small wounds from the wind and sand.
If you say you didn't see those wounds, just because you can't see them doesn't mean the wounds don't exist!
Just as he was thinking about how to write a memorial, it didn't take long for the county magistrate to hear a report from his subordinate County Yong: "The ashes in the temple are still warm, and the traces are messy. The fake Tang prince and others must have just left not long ago."
The county magistrate immediately waved his hand and said with great enthusiasm: "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you catch up with me!"
