One side of the hegemon?

How can Xu Hongru be worthy of these four words? He is clearly just the overlord of a city, out of this Wenzhou city, the dignified White Lotus Sect Master will become a street rat, either escape into the mountains and see no one, or he will become the No. 1 Daqin prisoner in the Ming Dynasty.

With such an identity, how can he ascend to the pole and become the emperor?

However, Xu Hongru couldn't wait.

He is now nearly 70 years old this year, and he once suffered a gunshot wound in the city of Nanjing, and he has not yet recovered well, and he has no bottom in his heart for how many years he can live, let alone when he will be able to ascend the throne and become emperor.

The so-called being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day. Xu Hongru can become the emperor, which can be regarded as a wish in his heart - although his authority as the emperor can only cover this empty city and last only three or five days.

Zhou Xiuying knows this, and has a few words to say to Xu Hongru: "Daddy, the crisis has not been eliminated now." Daddy is the reincarnation of the White Lotus Sect Master and Mingzun, and he is about to lead the disciples of the whole sect to break out of the encirclement and kill the born. Why do such unhelpful things? ”

Xu Hongru was poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his face suddenly became a little unbearable, and said, "What do you mean that it is not helpful?" The Buddha-figure's ascension to the throne as emperor is an unprecedented prosperity in the White Lotus Holy Sect, and it will inevitably boost the morale of the disciples. At that time, when the destiny returns, he will be able to defeat the imperial eagle dog outside the city in one fell swoop and capture Ji Qingwen, the thief, alive. Then we take advantage of the victory and chase after it, and great things can be done! ”

Zhou Xiuying listened, shook her head, and said, "Daddy's words are easy, but it's a pity that the world's major events are not so easy. If you can succeed as long as you ascend to the pole and become the emperor, then how many people in the world are still kings and how many people are hegemons? Daddy, it is Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who also adopted Zhu Sheng's idea back then, and engaged in a set of strategies of 'building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king'. Even Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms, wasn't he just subject to Jiuxi and called the King of Wei, but did not usurp the Han Dynasty and stand on his own? ”

Zhou Xiuying has been trapped in the empty city of Wenzhou these days, in addition to practicing martial arts and training soldiers and horses every day, she also found a few books from the city to read, which can be regarded as gaining some knowledge, so she said angry words to quote scriptures and classics, and dismissed Xu Hongru as incomplete.

When Xu Hongru heard this, his face turned red, and he scolded: "Xiuying, you have been getting more and more presumptuous recently, and the deity is actually compared to Zhu Yuanzhang and Cao Cao." These two people can be regarded as heroes among people, but who am I, Xu Hongru? It's the White Lotus Sect Master, it's the Ming Venerable, how can these ordinary people be compared? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang started as a little monk begging for food, picked up equipment for more than ten years, played for more than ten years of experience points, and finally became the founding king of the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years. In terms of ability, ability, and luck, among the emperors of all dynasties, even if they are not ranked in the top three, they can be ranked in the top five anyway.

Although Cao Cao has never been an emperor, in the Three Kingdoms period, which was full of heroes, he was able to unify the Central Plains to suppress Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and he was able to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he was not an emperor.

is these two great figures, but Xu Hongru said that they are all ordinary people, and they are not as good as himself, the mortal Mingzun, isn't this crazy?

Therefore, when Zhou Xiuying heard the news, she couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded: "Xiuying, don't worry about other things, help your father complete the preparations for ascending to the palace, that is the first achievement." Also, I think Xu Daoqing's house is also a piece of mud that can't support the wall, and the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the White Lotus Sect in the future will still be on your daughter. Daddy also knows that he doesn't have a few days to live, and after I die, you will be the emperor. Originally, there was also a story of Wu Zetian being the emperor in ancient times. The female emperor, it's not a big deal......"

Zhou Xiuying helped Xu Hongru do things, firstly, to repay her for the nurturing grace of her "godmaster father", and secondly, to sincerely establish a legendary "Elysium". Therefore, she has no interest in fame and fortune, and she sneers at this illusory "female emperor".

So Zhou Xiuying persuaded again: "Daddy, the female emperor, the male emperor or something, I have never taken my daughter to heart, I just hope that my father can take care of his body and recover as soon as possible." ”

Although these words did not echo Xu Hongru's opinion, they were quite intimate, which made Xu Hongru, who was deeply trapped in the chair, breathe a sigh of relief, slowly stood up, stretched out his fingers that were as thin as a few dry branches, patted Zhou Xiuying on the shoulder, and said: "Daughter, as long as you can do the matter of ascending the great ceremony in a beautiful way, it will be the best elixir." ”

Zhou Xiuying was about to persuade two more words, but heard Xu Hongru say again: "Don't talk about it anymore, the deity has made up his mind, and he has already calculated the number of innate - three days later is the auspicious day of the zodiac, which is the period for holding the great ceremony." Okay, Daddy is tired, you go down and run errands. ”

When Zhou Xiuying heard this, she shook her head helplessly, persuaded a few more words, and walked down.

Xu Daoqing waited outside the door, and when he saw Zhou Xiuying coming out of the house with a worried face, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Holy Maiden, I don't know what the sect leader has to order?" ”

Zhou Xiuying sighed and told Xu Daoqing about Xu Hongru's decision.

Xu Daoqing was shocked: "What? Isn't the Master joking? When has this been? Still doing this? It's not ......"

Xu Daoqing's voice didn't fall, but he heard Xu Hongru's voice coming from the room: "Daoqing, what are you talking about?" ”

It turned out that although Xu Hongru had suffered a skin injury, his internal strength was not dissipated, and under his full attention, any wind and grass within a distance of one or two zhang inside and outside the house was within his perception range.

Although Xu Daoqing is Xu Hongru's "eldest disciple", after all, he is a halfway monk, and it is not as convenient as Zhou Xiuying to speak, so he had to agree loudly: "I didn't say anything, the disciple will definitely do it wholeheartedly." ”

With that, Xu Daoqing made a gesture to the house and retreated.

Zhou Xiuying just hurriedly caught up with two steps, came to a secluded corner with Xu Daoqing, and admonished: "Daoqing, you have to figure it out." Daddy's ascension to the throne this time is to inspire people and boost morale, and then fight a decisive battle with the imperial court eagle dogs outside the city. What I mean, of course, the matter of ascending to the great ceremony must be done well, but the matter of training soldiers and horses cannot be wasted, and you must know how to be proportional in this regard! ”

Xu Daoqing can also be regarded as a hero among people, so he naturally knows the position and weight of Zhou Xiuying's words, and immediately nodded and said: "Holy daughter, I understand, I understand." It's just that now the enemy army is besieged heavily, we lack medical care and medicine, food is also empty, and the hearts of the people inside and outside the country are not in harmony. I wonder how long it will last? ”

When Zhou Xiuying heard this, her face tightened, and she said: "You can only say this in front of me, if it is spread and shakes the morale of the army, it will be a big crime." ”

The authority of the Holy Maiden Zhou Xiuying in the White Lotus Sect is second only to the sect leader, so Xu Daoqing could only nod his head and agree when he heard it, and said: "I know, I just said it casually, I will do my best to do what the sect leader and the holy woman ordered." ”

Try your best to do it, but you may not be able to do it well.

The great ceremony, even if it was placed in the orthodox court of the Ming Dynasty, was also a sensational event in the world, and it was extremely difficult to do it seamlessly without three months of preparation.

But there are ways to do ceremonies, and there are ways to do it. If there are many people, money, and things, it is natural that you can do it beautifully, but you can handle it perfunctorily if you have nothing.

So Zhou Xiuying, Xu Daoqing and others learned the half-truths and half-truths written in the play and began to prepare for the grand ceremony.

But it's okay not to prepare, and as soon as the preparations started, Zhou Xiuying was taken aback. According to her calculations, even if this ascension ceremony is only handled by the most sloppy standard, it will consume all the materials in Wenzhou City now. In other words, after Xu Hongru becomes the emperor, let alone breaking through, even if he continues to hold the empty city of Wenzhou, I am afraid it will be overstretched.
