Chapter 1: The Crossing of the Pit Daddy

Next Chapter

In the outer hall, a middle-aged man in a silk dress frowned, and a noblewoman in her thirties next to her complained while wiping her tears: "How did a good child become the way he is now, how can I live?" ”

The middle-aged man was also a little irritable, but he still endured his temperament and asked the old man sitting opposite: "Doctor Xu, Jie'er has been silent and sluggish since he woke up, and he didn't have any reaction when he called him, what is wrong with this?" ”

The old man on the chair opposite had white hair, and at this time he twisted his beard with one hand, and replied with a solemn face: "Bureau Envoy Li, you also know Ling Lang's situation, his madness has not been cured before, and now he accidentally fell into the water, it is really rare to be able to save his life, as for his next situation, the old man does not dare to assert, it is best to observe for a few days before speaking." ”

"My poor boy!" Mrs. Li, who was next to her, heard Doctor Xu's words, and immediately burst into tears.

Li Ju was already in an irritable mood, but now his wife couldn't stop crying, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "What's the use of crying and crying, can you still cry Jie'er?" ”

However, the words of Bureau Envoy Li provoked the hornet's nest, and I saw Mrs. Li wipe her tears when she heard this, pointed at his nose and said angrily: "You still have the face to say, if it weren't for the little of your old Li family, would Jie'er become what it is now!" ”

"You ......" Li Ju made a case when he heard this, but he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, and finally saw him sigh and sit back in his seat with a very depressed expression.

The sound of quarrel in the outer hall also spread very clearly to the bedroom inside, Li Jie was lying on the bed with his eyes open, and the expression on his face was also very complicated, he never expected that this kind of thing would fall on his head.

However, after experiencing the initial confusion, Li Jie is now slowly calming down, I saw him sit up and move his hands and feet, and found that his body no longer had the heaviness he had in his previous life, which made him can't help but show a happy expression, no matter what the result of this crossing is, at least it gave him a healthy body, not like in his previous life, he walked through the last period of his life in the hospital bed.

When I looked up at the room I was in, I saw that the floor was covered with thick blankets embroidered with colorful patterns, and the tables and chairs and other furniture were all made of mahogany and carved with intricate patterns.

Li Jie stretched out his hand and touched the bedpost, and found that the mahogany used was thick and hard, he didn't have any research on mahogany, and he couldn't tell what kind of wood it was, but from the texture, he could also feel that this kind of wood should not be something that ordinary people could afford.

"It seems that I am still a rich and noble family, can it be said that I have finally come to work, and I will be a gentleman in this life?" Li Jie looked at the extravagant decoration in the room and couldn't help but muttered to himself happily.

However, after the joy, Li Jie suddenly became a little worried, because he only knew that he was in ancient times, but he didn't know which dynasty this was, let alone who the current emperor was.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then someone rushed into the outer hall, and a young male voice shouted: "Uncle, aunt, how is my cousin?" ”

In the outer hall, a tall and thin young man hurried in, his forehead covered with sweat and panting as he spoke, apparently running all the way.

And when Mrs. Li, who was crying bitterly, saw this young man, she couldn't help but cry out again: "Yi'er, you are finally here, Jie'er...... Jie Er He ...... Woohoo......"

Seeing her own nephew, Mrs. Li also cried bitterly again, which made the young man anxious and asked again: "Auntie, don't cry in a hurry, what happened to my cousin?" ”

"Yi'er, you don't have to worry, Jie'er is fine, but after falling into the water, I woke up and kept silent, so your aunt and I are also very worried." At this time, Li Ju couldn't help but answer for his wife.

"Didn't someone look at him, how could he fall into the water?" The young man, known as Yi'er, asked again very anxiously.

"The caretaker was careless, thinking that Jie'er was asleep, so he stayed outside the door, but he didn't expect Jie'er to sneak out of the window, and ran outside from the corner door, and when the next person found out, he had fallen into the river." At this time, the envoy Li replied with a sigh again.

"When Jie'er was rescued, she didn't even have any breath, but fortunately, Doctor Xu was nearby, so she saved Jie'er's life, otherwise...... Otherwise......" Mrs. Li also held back her tears at this time, but when she said the end, she couldn't help but hide her face and cry again, after all, she only has a son like Li Jie, if he really has an accident, then how can she live the rest of her life?

"It's good that people can save me, thank you Doctor Xu!" The young man was also temporarily relieved when he heard this, and at the same time thanked Doctor Xu, and Doctor Xu hurriedly returned the salute, after all, he knew that the young man in front of him was not ordinary.

"I'm going to see my cousin!" The young man walked into the bedroom as he spoke, after all, it was the same place as his house.

Hearing that the cousin outside was coming in, Li Jie also hurriedly lay down, and then stared at the top of the bed expressionlessly, he was mainly afraid of revealing his stuff after opening his mouth, so he had been pretending to be dumb since he woke up just now.

Soon a tall and thin young man walked into the bedroom and came to Li Jie's bed with a concerned face, only then did Li Jie see the other party's appearance clearly, only to see that this cousin should be less than twenty, with a rectangular face, fair skin, good appearance, wearing a royal blue gown, looking both energetic and handsome.

"Cousin, how are you feeling?" The young man grabbed Li Jie's arm and asked eagerly.

Li Jie's face was expressionless and motionless, in fact, he was also hesitating at this time, after all, he couldn't always pretend to be stupid, he had to open his mouth sooner or later, but he hadn't figured out how to speak yet?

Seeing that Li Dao did not react, this righteous cousin was also very anxious, and called a few words again, and his eyes were slightly red, it seems that his relationship with the previous Li Jie should be very good, but unfortunately he is no longer the original Li Jie.

Cousin Yi grabbed Li Jie's hand and kept talking, most of them were interesting things when they used to get along, it seemed that he wanted to use these things to wake up Li Jie.

Li Jie wanted to get some useful information from this cousin's words, but this cousin mostly talked about some things about their brother's childhood, and rarely touched on other things, so it didn't sound like much to gain.

In the end, Li Jie gritted his teeth, made a confused expression on his face, and then turned his head to look at Cousin Yi and asked, "You...... Who are you? ”

As soon as Li Jie opened his mouth, Cousin Yi was stunned for a moment, and then shouted with a look of ecstasy: "Cousin, you are finally willing to speak!" ”

"Who are you?" Li Jie asked again pretending to be stupid, he didn't know anything about his current identity, so he simply pretended to have amnesia, anyway, the Li Jie in front of him seemed to have a bit of a problem with his brain.

"Cousin, what stupid thing are you talking about, I'm your cousin!" Cousin Yi had not yet woken up from his ecstasy at this time, and he still said loudly with joy on his face.

However, Li Jie shook his head blankly again: "I...... I don't know you! ”

Looking at Li Jie's blank expression, Cousin Yi finally felt that something was wrong, but at this moment, the Li couple and Doctor Xu in the outer hall heard the movement in the bedroom, and they also hurriedly walked in at this time, just seeing Li Jie talking to Cousin Yi.

"Son~, you finally spoke, scared to death!" I saw that Mrs. Li rushed forward in ecstasy, hugged Li Jie in her arms and cried bitterly, after all, as a mother, after her son's accident, she was more anxious than anyone else.

Although Li Jie knew that the other party was his mother in this life, he still felt a little unaccustomed to being hugged by her at this time, fortunately he was going to pretend to be stupid at this time, so he pushed the other party away with a frightened face and said, "Who are you, where am I, what are you going to do?" ”

Mrs. Li, who was crying with joy, was also stunned by Li Jie's reaction, and the envoy Li behind him was also stunned, but he reacted quickly, and immediately stepped forward and said eagerly: "Jie'er, what nonsense are you talking about, why don't you even know your father and mother?" ”

"You ...... Is it my mom and dad? Li Jie said with a blank face again, he admires himself too much now, although he didn't learn acting in his previous life, his natural acting skills are no worse than those actors in later generations.

"Doctor Xu, what's wrong with him?" Bureau Envoy Li also sensed that something was wrong with his son, so he immediately asked Doctor Xu behind him.

Doctor Xu also looked solemn at this time, only to see him step forward at this time, and then give Li Jie a pulse, and then pointed to the Li couple and asked, "Li Gongzi, do you really not know them?" ”

"I don't know!" Li Jie shook his head.

"Doctor Xu, my cousin didn't know me just now!" At this time, the righteous cousin couldn't help but speak.

Doctor Xu's expression became more solemn after hearing this, and then he asked again: "Then what do you remember Gongzi Li?" ”

"Head...... My head hurts, I can't seem to remember anything! Li Jie held his head and acted again, he remembered that people with amnesia on TV in later generations acted like this, anyway, the disease in the brain was the most complicated, and the medical conditions in later generations were so developed, and the understanding of the brain was still limited, let alone this era.

Sure enough, Divine Doctor Xu was also silent after hearing this, and in the end, Mrs. Li couldn't help but ask: "Divine Doctor Xu, what's wrong with Jie'er, why don't you even know us anymore?" ”

"Judging from the pulse, although Li Gongzi's body is a little weak, there is no major problem, but judging from Li Gongzi's performance just now, it is likely that he has lost his soul!" Divine Doctor Xu pondered for a moment before answering.

"My poor child...... "Mrs. Li cried out in grief again when she heard this, and reached out to hold Li Jie in her arms again.

However, he didn't expect Doctor Xu to speak again: "Mrs. Li, don't panic, in fact, for Li Gongzi, this loss of soul is a good thing!" ”

"How can it be a good thing?" Envoy Li asked eagerly.

"Li Gongzi's previous madness was very serious, and now although he has lost his soul again, he has no memories of the past, but it's a good thing, haven't you noticed that Li Gongzi spoke very methodically after waking up, and he was very calm, and there was no more madness before......"

Doctor Xu smiled and introduced Li Jie's condition to the Li couple, and although Li Jie knew that he was talking nonsense, he perfectly concealed his changes, so of course he would not expose it.

In addition, from the conversation between Dr. Xu and the Li couple, Li Jie also got some information, that is, his predecessor even had madness, what is madness? In fact, he is a madman, but this Li Jie doesn't seem to be born crazy, but is stimulated by something to go crazy.

"A madman, even if he returns to normal, seems understandable to occasionally do something abnormal, right?" Li Jie said to himself in his heart, for others, it is definitely not a good thing to have a crazy disease, but for him, it is a perfect disguise.

“…… Envoy Li, I will prescribe a few soothing medicines for Li Gongzi, you should also pay more attention to his situation during this time, and if there is any problem, find me for a follow-up in time! In the end, Doctor Xu took out a pen and paper from the medicine box, wrote the prescription and handed it to the Li couple.

"Thank you Doctor Xu, I'll send you!" Envoy Li took the prescription and said very politely, and after speaking, he personally sent the other party away.

Mrs. Li came to Li Jie again with tears in her eyes at this time, stretched out her hand and grabbed her son's hand and said, "Son, do you really not know your mother?" ”

Li Jie shook his head blankly again.

At this time, Mrs. Li also burst into tears of sadness, after all, the son she raised single-handedly suddenly didn't know herself, which made her sad and lost as a mother.

"Aunt don't be sad, didn't Doctor Xu say just now, it's a good thing that my cousin has lost his soul, after all, it's much stronger than the crazy one before!" The righteous cousin next to him also opened his mouth to comfort Mrs. Li when he saw it.

"That ......" Li Jie hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "Did I really go crazy before, why did I go crazy?" ”

Hearing Li Dao suddenly take the initiative to ask questions, and also asked about his previous madness, this made Mrs. Li and Cousin Yi stunned, and then the aunt and nephew glanced at each other, and Mrs. Li showed a look of embarrassment, as if there was something hidden in this?

"Auntie, although my cousin has lost his memory, there are some things that I still need to let him know, so why don't you let me talk to my cousin alone!" At this time, Cousin Yi was silent for a moment and took the initiative to speak.

Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and finally sighed and said: "That's it, you can't hide this kind of thing if you want to, Yi'er, you and Jie'er have the best relationship, and it is more convenient for you brothers to talk to each other!" ”

When Mrs. Li said this, she turned her head to look at Li Jie again and said gently: "Jie'er, Yi'er is your cousin, the two of you grew up together since childhood, and your relationship is like brothers, and he is also one of the most trusted people in this world. ”

Li Jie nodded after hearing this, hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Thank you...... Thank you Mother! ”

Hearing that her son finally called herself "mother" after waking up, Mrs. Li couldn't hold back her tears again, and hugged Li Jie and cried for a while, and then she was reluctant to leave the room.

As soon as Mrs. Li left, Cousin Yi immediately asked with a serious face, "Cousin, tell me honestly, are you really amnesia?" ”

"I really can't think of anything, and how dare I joke about such a big thing?" Li Jie also replied with a wry smile, judging from the reaction of this cousin, the last Li Jie didn't seem to be an honest child.

Seeing that Li Jie didn't seem to be lying, Cousin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew his cousin's temperament very well, although Li Jie's amnesia performance before was not flawed, he still had a trace of suspicion, and now he finally completely dispelled it.

"Cousin, can you introduce yourself first, and then introduce me to my family." Li Jie asked with a wry smile again at this time, asking others about his life experience, this kind of question is really weird.

"My name is Liu Yi, I am your cousin, your mother is my aunt, your father's name is Li Zhu, I work in the Ministry of Industry, although the grade is not high, but I ......"

Liu Yigang introduced Li Jie's father, but Li Jie thought of a very critical question, so he couldn't help but interrupt him: "Cousin, who is the current emperor?" ”

Li Jie must figure out the era he is in, and whether he is even still on earth? What if I go to another world? Only by knowing these backgrounds can he take a long-term view, after all, the power of the individual is too small in the face of the development of the times.

"The founding emperor of our Ming Dynasty is, of course, the wise and martial Hongwu Emperor!" When Liu Yi mentioned the current emperor, he couldn't help but stand up and bow his hand in the direction of the imperial city, and his face was full of respect.

Note: Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, the era name Hongwu, and the name Hongwu has not changed, so the folk also call him Emperor Hongwu, or Zhu Hongwu.

"The Ming Dynasty! Founding Emperor! Li Jie also showed a shocked look when he heard these two key messages, he actually traveled to the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and it was still when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Jie also breathed a sigh of relief, although there were still wars from time to time during Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, but the national strength was on the rise, and the country was generally relatively peaceful.

"What year is it?" Li Jie asked again, if it was already the last year of Hongwu, then he would have to prepare to stand in line in advance.

"It's the twenty-second year of Hongwu, and His Majesty just celebrated his sixtieth birthday last year, and the two of us went into the palace to ask for a glass of imperial wine to drink that day, don't you remember any of this?" When Liu Yi mentioned the matter of entering the palace last year, his face also showed an excited look, and finally asked Li Jie again with the hope of what happened.

Li Jie shook his head silently, but he was also relieved in his heart, it was now the twenty-second year of Hongwu, and he remembered that Zhu Yuanzhang died in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, that is to say, Zhu Yuanzhang still had nine years of life, and this year the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, and the Ming Dynasty also completed the unification of the territory, which can be said to be the peak of Hongwu's rule.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the crown prince Zhu Biao, that is, Zhu Di's eldest brother and Zhu Yunwen's father, is not dead yet, so there is no urgency to stand in line, at least there are more than ten years to prepare.

"Wait a minute! Entering the palace? Can the two of us enter the palace? Li Jie reacted suddenly at this time, just now Liu Yi said that his father was not of high grade, how could he take the two of them into the palace? Unless something else!

"I'm also a little marquis, although I am not qualified to enter the palace usually, but on His Majesty's birthday, it is not difficult to take you into the palace alone, not to mention that you have a grandfather who has been a prime minister." Liu Yi patted his chest and said again, seemingly very proud of his family background.

"My grandfather was the prime minister!" Li Jie was also ecstatic when he heard this, he thought that he was just a second-generation official, but he didn't expect it to be the third-generation official, and he was also the grandson of the prime minister, you must know that the prime minister is under one person and above ten thousand people, except for the emperor, the entire court counts him the biggest!

"In this way, am I not the legendary top gentleman, and the existence of the entire capital can walk sideways?" Li Jie muttered happily in his heart, being a human being in two lives, does God also know that he had suffered too much in his previous life, so he has to compensate himself in this life?

Seeing the joy on Li Jie's face, Liu Yi next to him sighed secretly, it seems that his cousin is really completely amnesiac, otherwise he would definitely not show such an expression when he mentioned his prime minister's grandfather, and even if it wasn't for his grandfather, he wouldn't have gone crazy and lost his memory and became what he is now.

"Cousin, what's the name of my grandfather?" After Li Jie was secretly happy, he immediately asked again, he is now full of the words "after the prime minister", even if his grandfather retired from the prime minister's position, but the connections and influence left behind are probably not comparable to ordinary officials.

"Your grandfather is a big man, when His Majesty first got up, he took refuge in His Majesty's side, followed His Majesty to birth and death, and made countless contributions, and later His Majesty ascended the throne, awarded the title of 'Founding Auxiliary Yun Tui Cheng Shou Zhengwen Chen', promoted to Tejin, Guanglu Doctor, Zuo Zhuguo, Taishi, Zhongshu Zuo Prime Minister, into the Duke of Korea, Nian Lu 4,000 stones, descendants hereditary ......"

Hearing Liu Yi introduce his grandfather's exploits, Li Jie was very excited at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt wrong, especially when he heard his grandfather's series of titles and official positions, Liu Yi's face turned white every time he reported one, because he seemed to have guessed who his grandfather was.

At this time, I only heard Liu Yi continue to introduce: "It can be said that among the many founding heroes, your grandfather's merits also rank first, and His Majesty also awarded him an iron coupon to avoid two deaths, and his son to avoid one death, his name is ......"

"Li Shanchang!" Without waiting for Liu Yi to finish speaking, Li Jie cried and reported a name, he was still very familiar with this first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

"Huh? Cousin, do you even remember his name? Liu Yi was also surprised when he heard this.

Li Jie smiled bitterly and nodded, but he didn't explain, his mind is now full of Li Shanchang's life, according to historical records, in the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Li Shanchang was given to death by Zhu Yuanzhang, and more than 70 people from his family, including his wife, daughter, brother and nephew, were executed, and now it is the twenty-second year of Hongwu.
