Li Laiheng's long life has experienced many setbacks, brilliance, suffering, failure and victory.
He created a world empire that was destined to go down in history, changed the life trajectories of hundreds of millions of people, and gave this land, and even the entire planet under his feet, a completely different look.
He was known to the world as Emperor Tianfa, and his fame spread far and wide, including all the monasteries in the Western Regions, all the lamas in the Snowy Region, all Taoist temples, temples, churches, and academies where Confucian scholars taught in the Central Plains.
Even in overseas Brahmin temples and under the totem poles of Indians, tens of thousands or tens of millions of court subjects prayed for the health of Emperor Tianfa in their own way.
People hope that he can continue to live, even if he lives like a statue, so that he can give hundreds of millions of subjects the strongest sense of stability.
"Did His Majesty say something?"
Fang Yiren came all the way from Tongcheng. His body was stooped and old. Even if several grandchildren were supporting the grand master, he always gave people the feeling that he was about to collapse in the wind.
Gu Junen had passed away. In the year of his death, Li Laiheng held a rare court meeting to discuss what posthumous titles and posthumous titles should be awarded to Gu Junen.
Many senior ministers who have returned to their hometowns to live a life of officialdom have also written letters, just as they used to discuss Yuan Zongdi, Liu Rukui, Liu Fangliang and many other people's posthumous affairs.
Fang Yiren also felt a sense of sadness.
On his left and right are his children and grandchildren, and behind him are the younger generation of courtiers, but what about the old people who broke into the camp in the past?
Where are the heroes who followed King Chuang to conquer the country?
Everyone has withered in the wind, and perhaps so has he.
"Lin Shang Palace."
Fang Yiren saw Lin Maomao, Guo Junzhen's widow. This female official who once held great power in the inner court had also fought many times with Fang Yiren, who was in charge of the outer court.
They often clashed over court affairs, and sometimes because of party disputes, which could bring matters to a point where there was no way to end them.
But in private, Fang Yiren certainly has a good relationship with the Guo family.
When Guo Junzhen died of illness in Japan, Fang Yiren's son made a special trip to Yingzhou to take his coffin back to Kaifeng.
That was a few years ago?
After all, Fang Yiren is old, and he has almost forgotten many things that were still fresh in his memory.
"Your Majesty wants to see you, Grand Master..."
The person who spoke was the eldest princess Li Huirou. Ever since Li Laiheng reached his later years, he had been especially close to his relatives. As a result, Li Huirou was extremely favored and could be said to have dominated the government and the public.
Fortunately, she was a very clear-minded person and did not rely on this position to seek any excessive benefits, nor did she push her son Li Chunhe, King of Huining, into an inappropriate position.
Fang Yiren's son helped him up the long staircase in front of the imperial palace. How many steps were there in the white marble staircase? Fang Yiren only felt that it had grown to the point of being endless.
Walking on it, it seems that you can see Yiling Prefecture many years ago.
"His Majesty……"
"Master."
The emperor's eldest grandson, Li Runshi, helped Fang Yiren up and took him into the palace. In order to prevent wind, the palace was now covered with bright yellow silk, and the air was not circulated well. Fang Yiren felt that his chest was a little heavy.
"How is the war in Nanyang going?"
The emperor was leaning on the royal bed, holding a broken arrow in his hand and pointing at the huge map in front of him.
He is over seventy years old, but his appearance increasingly resembles that of Taizu Taizong, who was never related by blood.
Fang Yiren even mistakenly thought that he had returned to fifty years ago and saw Emperor Taizong's appearance again.
The emperor's eldest grandson replied: "Grandpa Huang, the war in Nanyang has been successful again. After Daimi'er's country failed to siege Zhaonan Mansion, the main force was captured by Wang's navy in the Indian Ocean. After a fierce battle, Wang's navy captured more than a hundred
Warship."
The emperor's grandson did not tell Li Laiheng all the battle conditions. He did not talk about the heavy losses suffered by the various states in Nanyang in this war, nor did he talk about the 15,000 cavalrymen of the Dashun Expeditionary Force who were completely annihilated in the mountains of Afghanistan, let alone
Talk about how the Shun Army's stronghold in Ceylon was completely wiped out by the Ming Army.
They just selected a few great victories won by the Shun Army, and the eldest princess also exaggerated how magnificent the victories of these battles were, as if the long southern war was finally coming to an end.
After hearing these words, Li Laiheng shook his head: "After I die, the war will stop - there is no point in continuing the fight. The sky is not clear, so I can establish another country overseas, why should I suffer?
Where is Rensheji?"
Li Laiheng asked everyone to bring Fang Yiren to the royal bed. He held Fang Yiren's hand tightly, and the two of them talked for a while, but the others could not hear clearly.
There are many speculations in later generations about what Shizu finally said to Taishi Fang.
But because Fang Yiren passed away within a few months after this, this issue eventually became an unsolved mystery in the history of the Shun Dynasty.
Emperor Changsun finally came up and asked, what other key points need to be reformed in Dashun's state affairs?
What should he do with his powerful uncles?
"Grandpa Huang, who is the person that Grandpa Huang admires most in his life?"
Li Laiheng thought for a while and replied: "There is only one most powerful person I have ever met in my life. His name is Huang Taiji, and he was a former Khan king of Manchuria."
The emperor's eldest grandson was very puzzled: "He is just the Khan King of Manchuria. How come there are thousands of people like him who tied their necks and bowed their heads when the king's master swept the world? Why does the emperor admire him?"
"Haha, no, I don't admire Huang Taiji. He is indeed the most brilliant person of my time, but the person I admire the most is Grandfather Taizu."
Taizu Li Zicheng made pioneering contributions in the history of the Shun Dynasty, but many people do not think that his historical status will be higher than that of Emperor Tianfa.
Li Laiheng just murmured: "If the deer is lost, the whole world will chase it away. When the world is in chaos, only Taizu obeys the people and rises up with benevolent and righteous soldiers to save the people from the fire and water. He lives up to his loyalty and filial piety before, and later
He is benevolent and righteous, has no shame in the people, and has made great contributions to the world. If I don't admire Taizu, who can I admire?"
Emperor Tianfa's eyes suddenly became bright again, as if full of wise insight.
He called the emperor's eldest grandson and the eldest princess, and said: "I have a weak virtue and am not as lenient and lenient as Taizu. From now on, do not imitate me, but imitate Taizu."
The emperor's grandson asked again what the foundation of Dashun was.
Various scenes quickly flew through Li Laiheng's mind, including how he split an army of his own in Suizhou, how he preserved his strength in Chu when he went north, and how he later solved the problem of Tian
What happened to Jianxiu and Li Shuangxi.
Finally Li Laiheng told his grandson:
"Taizu raised an army of benevolence and righteousness to save the people from fire and water. Taizu, Taizong and I, three generations of people fought against all odds and obstacles to achieve today's cause.
The two words of benevolence and righteousness are the foundation of the founding of the country of Dashun. In my later years, I used military force to spread the imperial power all over the world. Do not follow my example. After I leave, you should cultivate your virtues and start to rest with the people. Only then can the foundation of the country of Dashun be established for all generations.
.”
Only Fang Yiren on the side knew the details of Li Laiheng's life, but he said nothing and just stood aside and smiled.
Finally, Fang Yiren also said to the emperor's eldest grandson: "Your Majesty obeyed the people and assisted Taizu Taizong with his body of commoners, so that the world today exists. This Li family is virtuous and destiny is here. The descendants of future generations will inherit his blessings.
Success, no need to worry."
The emperor's grandson didn't seem to hear these words. He walked to the bed and wanted to ask Li Laiheng again if he had any strategies for governing the country, but Li Laiheng had no response this time.
Everyone looked at each other and quickly asked the doctor to come forward.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you have passed away."
In the fiftieth year of Tianfa, Shun Shizu Li Laiheng passed away and was buried in the Yan'an Imperial Mausoleum of Tianbaofu.
After Shizu, Dashun experienced eleven emperors for a total of 210 years, and the first republican revolution broke out; later Zhongzong was restored and the royal family was restored, and five emperors for a total of 63 years, the second republican revolution broke out, and the Republic
