Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty

Duke Cao's Mansion.

Li Jinglong and Li Zengzhi were having a secret conversation in the underground secret room.

In order to isolate the underground darkroom of Cao Guogong's mansion from eavesdropping, it was not only made of bricks, but also cast with iron, and special sound insulation materials were added. It was a serious copper wall and iron wall.

After the stairwell was closed, only the two brothers were left in the secret room.

"Because Duke Cheng Guo was seriously ill and the Eastern Route Army had no commander, the civilian officials took advantage of the situation and asked to stop the attack on Annan on the grounds that 'it would be bad luck to lose the commander before sending troops'?" Li Zengzhi asked in surprise after hearing this.

"Um."

Li Jinglong nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, and said slowly:

"There was a lot of quarrel in the court over this matter, and some people even got red in the face. But I don't know the specific outcome or how His Majesty will decide. But I think the commander should be changed."

"Change the coach."

Li Zengzhi looked at his brother and said, "Brother, aren't you sure of it?"

Li Jinglong shook his head: "Qi State Duke Qiu Fu and Wei State Duke Xu Huizu both have opportunities."

Li Zengzhi knew that his brother might have his own considerations, but he did not delve into this issue. He added: "Annan's side is also a tough people. If I change the commander on the spot like this, will it make them feel that they have a chance?" To resist desperately? Although I don't know much about military matters, I also know that the soldiers recruited this time are all guards from the south. During the Jingnan Campaign, basically all the elites who could fight were lost after being transferred. , the main force currently conquering Annan is not considered old, weak, sick or disabled, but can barely be regarded as second-line troops."

The smile on Li Jinglong's face was a bit far-fetched. The elite soldiers of the Southern Guards were completely destroyed. If they said they had nothing to do with him, no one would believe it.

But the past was before, and the present is now. The matter of Jingnan Lao Huangli must not be discussed now. Li Jinglong just replied: "This time I just heard that there was a quarrel in the court, but His Majesty the Emperor seemed to I am still optimistic about this matter and believe that just changing the coach does not require giving up the campaign for Annan."

Speaking of the old almanac, Li Jinglong's heart skipped a beat.

The old almanac from last year had done him terrible harm last time. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been killed by Bao Zhao.

If we really go on an expedition this time, we still have to look at this year’s almanac.

Li Zengzhi pondered: "I just don't know how Duke Cheng Guo was rescued? Is it true that the elixir that can revive human flesh and bones is used, as reported outside? If it is true, brother might as well ask for two and keep them at home. Keep it as a spare.”

"Where is the elixir?"

Li Jinglong couldn't laugh or cry.

"There is no elixir? That's what is said outside. It has a nose and eyes."

Li Zengzhi was slightly surprised: "Moreover, the imperial doctors at the Taiyuan Hospital are helpless to deal with Cheng Guogong's condition. This can't be made up. Does Dai Sigong, the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, know? The one who was used by Emperor Taizu Gao was known as 'Hua' As long as Tuo was alive, he would still stare blankly."

"Envoy Dai has indeed made a diagnosis, but Jiang Lang did not use elixir to rescue Duke Cheng Guo, but a new drug called allicin. It is allicin, not garlic." Li Jinglong spoke in a very firm tone, because This is what Jiang Xinghuo emphasized to him.

"Okay, but even if Duke Cheng Guo takes his life back from the Lord of Hell, his vitality will be severely damaged and he will have to take a good rest for a while."

Li Zengzhi sighed and said: "But, in this case, brother, are you really not going to fight? There are many marquises who are also asking for a fight."

"You are more anxious than me!"

Li Jinglong glared at his younger brother, and Li Zengzhi smiled coquettishly and said: "I heard that you can make money selling things to Annan. If the eldest brother becomes the head coach, our family's property will naturally grow more."

"The reason why the country does not have a duke who can fight, but chooses a marquis to lead the army."

This time, Li Jinglong told his younger brother what was in his heart: "The Duke of Qi, Qiu Fu, and the Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, are even more unpopular and feared by Your Majesty than I am. What you say is not necessarily 100% certain, but 90% of the time it is true." .”

What I want to say here is that Li Jinglong himself feels that "he is better than Xu Huizu in every aspect", but in the eyes of others, this may not be the case.

But this is not a bad thing for Li Jinglong.

Why? The answer couldn't be simpler. The emperor doesn't need a strong commander, he just needs a sufficient commander.

Whether Li Jinglong thinks he is invincible is not important to Zhu Di. What is important is that Zhu Di feels that Li Jinglong is actually not as strong as Xu Huizu. They are both leaders of the Huaixi Group among the founding nobles of Hongwu, but Li Jinglong is far easier to control than Xu Huizu.

Xu Huizu is Zhu Di’s uncle! Over the past dynasties, how many relatives have usurped the throne. Isn’t this enough vigilance? How did Wang Mang's world come about? How did Yang Jian's world come about? What emperor would dare to trust a brother-in-law who has a strong network of connections?

It is true that the fathers of Li Jinglong and Li Zengzhi are Lao Zhu's nephews, but after all, these two brothers are what Zhu Di thinks he can handle. With these hundreds of thousands of soldiers for Li Jinglong, Zhu Di can sleep well, neither afraid of Li Jinglong's rebellion nor afraid of Li Jinglong. Can't defeat Annan's army.

And if it were given to Xu Huizu, then Zhu Di might not be able to sleep.

"So, there is no need to argue about this matter. Just wait until His Majesty comes to see you."

Li Jinglong, thanks to the presence of the old god, made up his mind.

"Furthermore, regardless of whether he can succeed as coach or not, the situation on Annan's side may be more serious than expected."

"Brother, why did you say this?" Li Zengzhi frowned.

"Yesterday, I received news that Zheng He's fleet landed in the Champa State. It seemed to have helped the Champa State stabilize the offensive of the Annan army. The Annan army must have sensed something and was afraid that the Ming Dynasty would use the Champa State to attack from behind. , so when the king of Champa [Lai of Champa] recently suffered the death of his old king, he raised his troops to attack the territory of his old states such as Gelie, Shaliya, and Pandaliang Baihei, and made his own gold-plated silver seal. , Jiuzhang Mianfu jade belt and other items were given to the King of Champa [Lai of Champa], forcing him to surrender to the Annan Kingdom, and also killed all the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty to the Champa Kingdom at the port of Shibinai. "

"Are Annan people so crazy?" Li Zengzhi asked in confusion.

"Well, if Zheng He's fleet had not landed, the Champa Kingdom would have been swallowed up by the Annan Kingdom. After they joined forces to resist the Mongols, the two countries began to attack each other. The two countries did not look at the face of the Ming Dynasty when fighting. When the Champa Kingdom was strong, the capital of the Annan Kingdom was captured four times. Now when the Annan Kingdom is strong, the Champa Kingdom naturally has no good fruits to eat."

"Then if you, brother, succeed as the head coach, how will you fight? Do you need to take advantage of the Champa Kingdom?"

"you guess?"

"Oh." Li Zengzhi's eyes flickered: "Could it be that brother has some kind of plan?"

Li Jinglong smiled mysteriously: "Jiang Lang and I have talked about a tactic called amphibious landing in the past few days. It is not complicated to say. The principle is still the same tactic used by the Sui Dynasty to protect their children when they conquered Goguryeo. The only difference is that We now have artillery that can be moved to the ship, with artillery cover, and then use sampans and small boats to seize the beach. Naturally, there will be no disadvantage. Once we occupy the beach landing site, the army and supplies can continue to land ashore. Annan's thousands of miles of sea territory, in our Ming Dynasty Everything in front of us is a flaw, and every one is a landing site. When the time comes, our army will intercept them at the waist. Why don’t we just do whatever we want to do with them?”

Li Zengzhi was stunned when he heard this. Although he had never been involved in military affairs, he could tell that Li Jinglong's words were extremely domineering. He immediately said to Li Jinglong, "Brother's strategy is really well thought out, and my younger brother can't even match it!"

Li Jinglong laughed, put down the tea cup in his hand, replaced the wine bottle, filled the wine bottle and raised it: "Come, cheers to the free trade of our Ming Dynasty!"

"cheers!"

——————

While brothers Li Jinglong and Li Zengzhi were drinking in the mansion, they were also drinking in the Fengtian Palace. The emperor personally hosted a banquet for Jiang Xinghuo, Dai Sigong, Wang Boxan, Yuan Bao, Chen Kegong, Wang Bin and others from Taiyuan Hospital.

Although Jiang Xinghuo used allicin to bring Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng back from the line of life and death, the follow-up care was still done using the methods of the imperial doctors. These people all worked hard. Now, although Zhu Neng is still He is very weak and has some difficulty getting out of bed, but he is generally fine. As long as he takes a good rest for half a year, he will be able to fully recover.

It has to be said that antibiotics are really a miracle drug for ancient people who have never had any contact with them.

Even allicin, which has the least efficacy and the shortest shelf life among antibiotics, can still cure respiratory infectious diseases. After all, the ancients had no resistance at all and can be 100% effective.

After three rounds of drinking, Dai Sigong, the Imperial Hospital envoy, still couldn't hold back. The old man toasted Jiang Xinghuo with a wine glass and asked: "May I ask the Imperial Master, what is this allicin about? Why can it have such a resurrecting effect? ?”

Jiang Xinghuo still respected the old man, so he returned the drink, and then said: "It's not even about bringing the dead back to life. It mainly has an effect on diseases in the lungs, throat and intestines."

"Then why does it have such an effect, and why has no one discovered it for thousands of years?"

"The reason you ask why it has such an effect is quite simple."

Jiang Xinghuo raised his head and looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, is there a microscope in the palace? If so, you might as well use it to clarify the doubts of Dai Yuanshi."

Of course, there was one in the palace, and his beloved general Zhu Neng was rescued. Zhu Di was in a good mood at this time, and he readily asked the eunuch to get it.

Not long after, a crystal-polished microscope was brought up by the eunuch on a tray.

Dai Sigong, the doctor from Taiyuan Hospital, looked at this strange thing curiously.

"Is this a microscope?"

"good."

Jiang Xinghuo nodded and said, "The secret is inside. Once I make some adjustments, Ambassador Dai can watch it."

He first lightly pressed the edge of the upper lens with his right hand, then pressed the inner wall of the lower lens with his left thumb, and then dropped a drop of water. He grasped the handle of the lens with his right hand, moved the upper lens forward, and stood it parallel to the lower lens.

"alright."

Dai Sigong couldn't wait to take the microscope and carefully placed it on the banquet table. Then he slowly rotated the microscope and studied it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he felt, and the more incredible he felt.

Jiang Xinghuo was not in a hurry and sat quietly, watching him study the microscope.

"Did you see any clue?"

Soon, a small blank area appeared in the microscope, and this blank area was filled with a large number of white swimming insect-like substances, and they were moving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the field of view of the microscope, all substances are flowing at high speed. They are composed of finer particles one after another, and they change erratically under the microscope.

"This, this, this is actually..."

Dai Sigong was so excited that he spoke incoherently, his eyes widened and his face flushed, as if he was greatly shocked. Several imperial doctors also gathered around, staring at the microscope one by one, wondering what Dai Lao saw.

After a long time, Dai Sigong calmed down a little, handed the microscope to the people around him, and sighed with emotion: "Today we know that the so-called 'Buddhist view of a grain of rice is as big as Mount Sumeru; if a person does not know the way, he will be covered with hair and horns. 'It's true."

"Yes, there are so many swimming insects in this drop of water. It's hard to imagine that if you drink other things that are dirtier and contain more insects, you won't get sick after drinking it."

Another person reluctantly put down the microscope and said: "Buddha sees eighty-four thousand insects in a bowl of water. If I had said this before, I would never have believed it. Until today, I have seen it with my own eyes. I don't know this." The statement is not groundless.”

Dai Sigong said thoughtfully: "So this allicin is used to kill these insects that are invisible to the naked eye?"

"Yes, these wandering insects are called bacteria, and bacteria can be divided into three categories: cocci, bacilli, and spiral bacteria according to their different shapes."

Although they haven't seen it, it's not difficult for imperial doctors to understand the three forms of bacteria. As the names suggest.

Jiang Xinghuo continued: "Mr. Cheng's disease was caused by B. pertussis."

"Whether it is cocci, bacilli or spiral bacteria, they are generally composed of an outer cell wall, a cell membrane, and an inner layer of cytoplasm. Plant cells are different from bacteria in that they have a formed nucleus, while bacteria do not. Nucleus."

"As for why allicin can kill B. pertussis and then save Cheng Guogong's life, it is because allicin is a type of antibiotic. The so-called antibiotic is a thing that can kill bacteria. It mainly targets bacteria that exist in humans. There are no mechanisms for killing, including inhibiting the synthesis of the outer cell wall of bacteria, enhancing the permeability of bacterial cell membranes to make them easily destroyed, interfering with the synthesis of growth substances inside bacteria, and inhibiting bacterial replication."

"I see!"

Dai Sigong suddenly realized: "So this allicin uses various methods to destroy bacteria, thereby dragging people out of the erosion of bacteria."

"That's what it means."

The imperial doctors were all excited. There is no doubt that if this road works, they will bring epoch-making changes to medicine, and their names will be passed down to future generations together with those famous medical scientists!

"Put another drop of wine in and give it a try."

The imperial doctors had just watched Jiang Xinghuo's operation, and it was not difficult to get started at this time. It was just a matter of replacing water with wine.

And when you look at it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it. Once you look at it, it’s a new world.

There are hardly any wandering insects in the wine!

"Why?"

"This is why I have always advocated using alcohol to clean wounds, because alcohol does not contain many bacteria, and it has a certain bactericidal effect. It can be used to treat wounds and prevent wound infection and suppuration."

Jiang Xinghuo added: "If you are interested in these things, Kong Xilu will publish relevant articles in Ming Pao soon, and please pay attention to it. If you can support me, it will be great. But then the microscope will It might be too expensive.”

Zhu Di, who had been watching with interest with a glass of wine, didn't know what Jiang Xinghuo meant?

He immediately waved his hand generously and said: "One for each person! I will ask the workshop to make new ones later and deliver them to your house."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Jiang Xinghuo was also very happy when he saw that he had found new orders for members of the prison literacy class such as Xiaowu who were responsible for polishing mirrors.

These people who were originally illiterate and illiterate and could only hang out at the bottom of society are now living a pretty good life by being responsible for technology and research and development under Yuan Gong's workshop. The fate of these people can be said to be completely Changed because of Jiang Xinghuo.

When the banquet was over, the imperial doctors reluctantly left, leaving only Zhu Di and Jiang Xinghuo in the palace.

Zhu Di put down his wine glass. He was drinking one glass after another. At this time, his face was a little red and his hands were a little cold. He rubbed his hands and asked first: "Master, how is the glass workshop? Didn't I say before that if the glass is made?" It can be used as a cheap crystal stone. By then, glass mirrors will not only be better than copper mirrors, but also lenses such as magnifying glasses, telescopes, and microscopes can be made of glass, and then they will be widely promoted and popularized."

"The progress is a bit slow."

Jiang Xinghuo could understand Zhu Di's urgency. The emperor was used to living a hard life and wanted to get rich. But whether or not burning glass could be done did not depend on anyone's will. He had to wait.

"But don't worry, Your Majesty. It will definitely be possible. It will only take a few more months of trying. Now that the manpower and material resources have been invested, we just need to try different methods exhaustively."

There is no difficulty in the manufacturing process.

Because to put it bluntly, China ranks first in the world in making porcelain, and porcelain and glass are essentially silicate non-metallic materials, both made of silica. There is no essential difference in terms of manufacturing processes.

It’s not that China couldn’t make glass before, it just couldn’t make transparent glass.

The problem is that the glass raw material requires sodium carbonate, which cannot be prepared artificially in ancient times. China does lack natural alkali, but Jiang Xinghuo knows that plant ash can replace sodium carbonate. Soak the plant ash in cold water, and then Filter through cloth and finally boil to obtain potassium carbonate which has the same effect as sodium carbonate.

There is no trona, and aren’t plant ash everywhere?

Of course, Jiang Xinghuo only knew the general content. The other specific principles and steps had to be explored by Yuan Gong and the others, so there was no problem in succeeding, it just took time.

After hearing this, Zhu Di also felt relieved.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Not to mention other telescopes and microscopes, who among the wealthy ladies of the Ming Dynasty wouldn't want to buy a good mirror to look at? First, sell it more expensively. It's easy to earn hundreds of thousands of taels from just a dressing mirror. "

Zhu Di took a reassurance and then tried to ask the question he was most concerned about.

This question is also a question that has been lingering in Zhu Di's mind since he learned that Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng was seriously ill.

"National Master." Zhu Di's voice had a slight tremor without even noticing it.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Jiang Xinghuo looked at Zhu Di with some confusion.

"Since you predicted the future of Duke Cheng Guo and successfully intervened to change it, avoiding Duke Cheng's death. Then, what do you see my future like? Will I be murdered or die of illness? ?" Zhu Di looked a little excited, clenched his fists slightly, and stared at Jiang Xinghuo without blinking.

In fact, Zhu Di should have asked this question a long time ago, but he kept hesitating again and again. It was not that he was worried that Jiang Xinghuo was unwilling to reveal it, but that Jiang Xinghuo's ability was so much beyond common sense that Zhu Di couldn't help but wonder if he would really be like him. If the future he said is going to be bad, wouldn't he be causing trouble for himself? It would be better not to know.

It's just that if Zhu Neng hadn't come to the rescue without Jiang Xinghuo, he might have returned with a corpse. This incident deeply touched Zhu Di, so Zhu Di asked this question at this time.

Looking at the nervous vampire, Jiang Xinghuo was a little speechless.

For this person, it may not matter when it comes to other people's affairs, but when it comes to oneself, especially when it comes to one's own strength, no one is immune, no matter how heroic he is.

"Your Majesty, your destiny is blessed by the natural dragon energy. How could you be murdered casually? You must have died at the end of your life." Jiang Xinghuo replied with a faint smile, as if he was not surprised by Zhu Di's question.

But Zhu Di was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

"Didn't the Imperial Master once say what would happen to the future Emperor of Ming Dynasty? Why are you refusing to answer directly now? Can't you see through it?" Zhu Di's tone revealed a hint of eagerness and suspicion.

"Of course not everyone can see through it. If I really had that ability, I would have ascended long ago!"

Jiang Xinghuo seemed to notice Zhu Di's abnormality and joked in a relaxed manner.

In fact, Jiang Xinghuo's words were half true and half false.

It's true that he can't see through everyone. What's false is that the people he can't see through are just historical figures that he has no impression of.

Jiang Xinghuo's mind was spinning a thousand times, and he had already vaguely guessed Zhu Di's psychology.

"Your Majesty, you came to see me today. Could it be that you want me to deduce your future?"

Hesitation flashed across Zhu Di's face.

In his heart, he really hopes that Jiang Xinghuo will help him deduce the future. After all, Jiang Xinghuo's predictions are so accurate, but he is also a little worried. If he deduce it, he always feels that something will happen or it will affect him.

"Well, you can do the math for me. If I really encounter misfortune, how should I deal with it?" Zhu Di nodded and admitted after a moment of silence.

"I"

"His Majesty!"

Zhu Di just wanted to ask Jiang Xinghuo to help with the deduction, but was interrupted by Jiang Xinghuo.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you for being bold. I don't want to get involved in your future. There are some things that won't work if you say them."

"National Master, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, I can only tell you."

Jiang Xinghuo consoled him, "You have at least twenty years left to live. If you live longer than that, you won't be able to count."

Today is the first year of Yongle (1403). According to the historical line of the previous life, Zhu Di died of illness in Yumuchuan on his way back from the fifth expedition to Mongolia in the 22nd year of Yongle (1424) at the age of sixty-five. In fact, Calculated at this time, there were still twenty-one years of life left. Jiang Xinghuo was afraid that Zhu Di would be frightened by the lack of success, so he simply said "at least twenty years of life" to comfort Zhu Di.

"Can you live to be at least sixty years old? That's not bad."

To Jiang Xinghuo's surprise, Zhu Di showed no other expression after learning about his lifespan.

Obviously, Zhu Di was satisfied with at least twenty years, which was enough for him to realize his ambitions.

"but."

Jiang Xinghuo sighed, which made Zhu Di feel heartbroken.

"In the future I see, after His Majesty's death, he will be treated the same as Qin Shihuang."

Zhu Di's face became a little embarrassed.

The same treatment as Qin Shihuang after his death is really not a good word.

Although Zhu Di's cultural level may not be comparable to that of civil servants, he is not purely illiterate. He has read some classics and historical records, at least "Historical Records".

"Historical Records: The Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin" records: "On Bingyin of the seventh month, the First Emperor died on a sand dune platform. The Prime Minister Siwei died outside. He was afraid that the princes and the world would change, so he kept it secret and did not mourn. The coffin was carried in a cool carriage. Therefore, it was fortunate that the eunuchs participated in the rides and had the best food. All the officials were performing their duties as before, and the eunuchs often came to see them from the carriages. During the summer heat, the carriages smelled bad, so they ordered the officials to carry a stone of abalone on the carriages to disturb the atmosphere. Smelly."

Of course Jiang Xinghuo didn't lie. In the history of the previous life, Zhu Di died in Yumuchuan. The eunuch Ma Yunmi and the bachelors Yang Rong and Jin Youzi conspired to keep the Sixth Army outside without announcing the funeral secretly. As a matter of fact, the meal was served as usual every day and night.

But no matter how Zhu Di asked, Jiang Xinghuo refused to tell the specific situation.

"This" Zhu Di hesitated, and had no choice but to ask: "National Master, in your opinion, can my future be reversed?"

"There is no talk of reversal. His Majesty's future is basically good, but there is no way to avoid a story like Qin Shihuang's after death."

"Oh? Is there anything the Imperial Master can do?"

Zhu Di's spirit was suddenly shaken, and he quickly urged: "Speak quickly! If the Imperial Master can really turn decay into magic, I will definitely thank you very much!"

"Edicts have always been written by descendants for Emperor Daxing since ancient times, but who has the rule that the emperor cannot write them before Daxing?"

Jiang Xinghuo pointed to the plaque on the Fengtian Palace, and then pointed to the wooden box on Zhu Dilong's case used to hold secret folds.

Zhu Di seemed to have been opened up to Ren and Du's second channel, and he understood immediately.

"Yes, I can definitely write it in duplicate and finalize this system. In this way, both the government and the public will know about it, and the story of Qin Shihuang will naturally disappear."

"Can the Imperial Master explain in detail?"

Jiang Xinghuo smiled and did not answer.

He didn't want to be involved in the whirlpool of history.

"I forgot, the Imperial Master doesn't need anything."

Zhu Di sighed and said: "Then the Imperial Master might as well make the request himself. As long as the Imperial Master is willing to say it, I will agree to it."

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will tell you nonsense?" Jiang Xinghuo asked with a smile.

"The Imperial Master is joking."

Jiang Xinghuo suppressed his smile and said: "I only hope that your majesty will promise me one thing, and we will discuss this matter later. Apart from this matter, your majesty probably knows what will happen in the future. Don't spread it out, and don't let anyone know about it." , Your Majesty, is it willing?"

"Okay, Imperial Master, all you need to do is help me know my destiny, and I will keep this matter in my stomach."

Zhu Di was very satisfied with his promise to Jiang Xinghuo in exchange for predicting his own destiny.

"Young emperor Wenhuang trained his troops, and took advantage of the beautiful land of Youyan. He took advantage of the weakness of Jianwen, and drove inwardly, and was about to be surrounded by the world. After he came to the throne, he practiced frugality, and floods and droughts came to an end in the morning and evening, without any obstruction. Know people well and do their job well, both externally and internally. Dongda, a majestic strategy, is in line with the great ancestor. The Sixth Division came out repeatedly, and the dust in Mobei was clear. By the end of the year, his mighty virtue was so great that guests from all over the world were convinced, and those who paid tribute were ordered to pay tribute to almost thirty countries. The scope of the fall was vast. , far away from the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. Successful and heroic, outstanding and prosperous."

"It's for Ming Taizong."

"A hundred years later, because later emperors were vassal kings and the small sect succeeded the big sect, it was changed to - Ming Chengzu!"

"In the Ming Dynasty, since the founding of the ancestors, there has been no marriage, no indemnity, no land ceding, no tribute. The emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country."

Looking at the big vampire with trembling lips, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly felt a little emotional and asked.

"This is your Majesty's destiny for the next twenty years. Your Majesty, do you feel satisfied?"

Zhu Di suddenly shook his head, trying to get rid of this sense of fate. He looked at Jiang Xinghuo with an unprecedented seriousness.

At this moment, something burned like a fire in his ambition.

This kind of thing is a break away from fate, a disdain for the established future, and a complete catharsis of one's never-ending goals.

"National Master, I want to do better. Do you think there is still a chance?"
