In the forty-eighth year of the Holy Dao, in 1766, the Great War entered its seventh year, and the smoke of gunpowder not only did not dissipate, but became more intense.

The course of the European battlefield was not as dramatic as the other plane, King George II of Britain was alive and well, and he would not let go of the Hanover territory, the belligerent Prime Minister Pitt was firmly on the throne, and the monarch and the courtiers continued to push Britain into the European battlefield. And the Russian Tsar Elizabeth is alive and well, like Maria Theresa, who never dies with Frederick II, and her stupid nephew, who adores Frederick to the extreme, fails to ascend the throne and helps Frederick bring a crazy peace. 【1】

Frederick II continued to be in the eye of the European blood, if he could understand that a key reason why this war was so long and arduous was that the "Médecins Sans Frontières Federation" led by Seris greatly changed the concept of medical treatment in Europe, and these key figures benefited from the advanced medical technology disseminated by Seris, and abolished religious ritual-like medical methods such as bloodletting, so as to escape the murder of the clergy doctors, he would definitely not enthusiastically embrace the new commander of the Seris European Dispatch Army, Li Kechong, the third prince of Seris, And he was awarded the honorary title of Duke of Berlin.

However, the European War was no longer under the control of Frederick II alone, and the battlefield was not limited to Prussia. Poland was deeply involved in the war, and if you want to trace the origins, it may have something to do with the large-scale recruitment of Polish mercenaries by Seris.

A large number of Polish nobles entered the Seris European Legion, which affected Poland's domestic political position, aroused Russia's deep jealousy, and forced the Polish nobles to join the Entente camp and fight against Prussia, Seris and Britain. The Polish nobility, under the pull of the two sides, each made a painful choice, and the whole of Poland was divided.

The Polish aristocracy who threw themselves into the Allies led the war in the direction of "rebuilding the Polish crown", a direction that not only frightened Russia, but also Denmark and Sweden, and the European War evolved into a combination of the Prussian Rise War and the Second Great Northern War.

The focus of the First World War was in Europe, and there were not only continental wars, but also naval battles around sea supremacy. Britain and Seris on one side, France and Spain on the other. Thanks to the military cooperation with Seris, Britain's artillery technology improved by leaps and bounds, and the naval power of France and Spain suffered a heavy blow, which also had a direct impact on the situation of the American War.

The operations of the Ceris Navy in the Mediterranean were only indirectly related to the European theater, and in addition to suppressing the actions of the French and Spanish navies in the Mediterranean, the Ceris Navy was more of an effort to dredge the Mediterranean shipping routes. These efforts included a series of pirate clearance operations, landing battles against Alexandria, No, and the Holy Dao Harbor, and a naval blockade of Egypt.

The most brilliant performance of the Seris Navy in the Mediterranean was the Battle of the Aegean Sea with the Ottoman Turkish Navy, which took place in 1764 AD, and brought the curtain down before the technical system of sail naval warfare reached its peak. The power of steam, rifled breez-loading guns, and ironclad allowed the sea to extend the distance of engagement to kilometers away. The huge Ottoman Turkish sail fleet fell victim to the times, just like the Indian fleet facing the European sail warships two or three hundred years ago.

Nearly 100 warships of the Ottoman Turkish Navy (although the vast majority of them were armed sailing ships of no more than 200 tons) sank into the sea, 30,000 people were killed and wounded, and under such a remarkable record, the losses of three cruisers and one battleship of the Seris Navy did not seem to be serious, and the wounding of the fleet commander, the second prince Li Keming, was also a common thing in the European naval war. However, since this naval battle, the European fleet of Seris has reached a tacit agreement with the rebuilt Ottoman Turkish Navy, with Cyprus as the line, and there has been no contact, which also shows that Seris does not have unrealistically high expectations for the power of ironclad steam warships.

Meng Songhai, who succeeded Li Keming, targeted the fleet in Egypt and North African waters, and the Ottomans were unable to help, so Seris gradually laid the foundation for seizing Egyptian domination, and the specific actions would have to wait until the North African war a few years later.

On the other side of the globe in the Americas, the intensity of war is several times greater than that of another plane. The competition between Britain, France, and Spain in the Caribbean, Central America, and Guyana is reflected in more than 100 single-ship duels at sea and the battle of the fleet to capture the port. The era of pirates in the Caribbean soon came to an end, and all pirates were turned into privateers and incorporated into the war system.

Havana, Port-au-Prince, Santo Domingo, San Juan, and the Caribbean strongholds that originally belonged to France and Spain fell into the hands of Britain one by one, coupled with the expansion of the colony of Guiana in South America, the original colonial pattern of the three colonial countries in the Caribbean and Central America has become a monopoly of Britain. This was also due to the presence of the Seris European Fleet in the Mediterranean, which not only contained at least a third of the main naval forces of France and Spain, but also played a key role in the pre-war construction of super-cruisers (also known as heavy frigates) inspired by the Seris.

For France, the main force of the Entente camp, the limitation of the range of force projection was both good and bad, and seeing that the navy was half abandoned and the loss of the Caribbean stronghold was irretrievable, Louis XV became more concerned about the North American colonies. As a result of the concentration on the North American theater, Britain was unable to resist the French invasion in Canada, and the war burned red south of the Three Great Lakes and on the east bank of the upper Mississippi River.

In contrast, Britain invested too much in the European theater and in the Caribbean, affecting North American power. Britain had to do its best to mobilize the colonial power of the thirteen North American states, and at the same time acquiesced to the fact that Ceris would use the USA (United Arab Emirates) as a proxy to unite the Indians and work together against the French. A series of hidden dangers buried in this, as well as the post-war expropriation of the thirteen states in order to make up for the national treasury, and the short-sighted act of turning the other cheek and denying the United States, directly led to the birth of the thirteen states, the American Union, and another USA.

In the forty-eighth year of the Holy Dao, in 1766, the smoke of Central Asia turned from blazing to slowing down.

The alliance of the Central Asian khanates formed by Seris firmly occupied the Aral Sea region, and the front reached the northeastern shore of the Caspian Sea, only 1,600 kilometers from Moscow. This has rekindled the fears that have been buried in the hearts of Russians for 500 years.

The "Cossack-Untysy Movement", in which the Cossack serfs under Russian rule were promised the status of Seris Untys, sparked a large-scale uprising of the Cossacks in southern Russia. Pugachev, the Cossack hero who stirred Russia in another plane, joined the Cossack rebels against Russian rule more than a decade in advance.

The tremendous pressure forced Russia to seriously consider withdrawing from the European battlefield several times and fully coping with Seris's westward advance. However, due to the turmoil of Poland in Europe, Denmark and Sweden joined in full force, coupled with the cohesion of pro-Russian forces in Poland, Russia was able to relax a little in the direction of the European continent and invest more resources in Central Asia.

In addition to the increasing number of troops in Central Asia, the alliance between Russia and Ottoman Turkey deepened, and the Persian puppet regimes supported by both sides played an increasingly important role. Gradually, it formed an encirclement of the westward advance of Seris.

Cyris originally had a larger encirclement pattern, that is, the Western Regions of Persia - Tianzhu north and south attack, but the Syris-Tianzhu authorities made a mistake in the direction of the policy of dealing with the Islamic forces in the north of Tianzhu, and the domestic industrial and commercial capital was far more interested in Tianzhu, a ready-made market and raw material land, than the distant and barren Persia, and was unwilling to continue to march westward regardless of costs and benefits, so Tianzhu failed to play a flanking role.

In this year, the last thing that Seris wanted to see finally appeared, that is, the Ottoman-Persian coalition army was in the south, and Russia was in the north, and the westward advance of Seris was clamped up and down.

The Battle of Khorezm, which broke out at the Khwarazm Oasis in the Khiva Khanate at the beginning of the year, was the largest battle since Seris moved westward into Central Asia. The two sides of the battle were divided into twenty or thirty forces, and the rebellion and defection of each subordinate force during the battle was dazzling.

The battle, which lasted for nearly a month, consisted of a series of small and medium-sized battles, and in view of the supply problems that were in front of the main forces of both sides at the same time, the regular armies of Seris, Russia, and Ottomans did not rush into the decisive battle, but fought with their respective subordinate armies. As a result, the nearly 200,000 casualties on both sides within a month will be meaningless, and it will be difficult to judge the winner by relying on them.

If there's anything to be gained from this battle, it's all down to the political realm. Seris realized that it would not be possible to effectively control the eastern shores of the Caspian Sea by military force alone until he had overcome the supply problem. Russia and the Ottomans also realized that unless they improved their position in the political environment of Central Asia, they would not be able to return Seris to the east of the Green Ridge by military means, and Seris had effectively organized a khanate alliance in Central Asia.

As a result, large-scale warfare in Central Asia has gradually subsided, replaced by small-scale raids and intensive diplomatic games. In contrast, the Ottoman-Persian alliance of 200,000 soldiers and the Ottoman and Persian alliances of 300,000 soldiers were almost crushed by military spending, and Seris, although also under financial pressure, was far more relaxed than the enemy. After the Battle of Khorezm, the situation in Central Asia turned into a confrontation, and peace negotiations have become the general trend.

The effects of the Great War were everywhere, and as a consequence of Russia's clumsiness, Central Siberia and Eastern Siberia were completely abandoned. The Northern Manchurians of the first faction benefited from this, and used Yakutsk as a base to bring the Sakha people under their rule, and continued to survive in the ice and snow. And Zhaohui's Dongman held high the banner of Aixin Jueluo and the old Qing Dynasty, and with the secret support of Yinghua, he was endlessly entangled with the newly-born Jianzhou Joseon.

The war is still going on, and for the British and Chinese, this war has nothing to do with victory or defeat, but how much benefit can be shared after the war. In October of that year, the people of the country left the war behind, and their hearts were tightly grasped by one thing, and deep and complicated feelings were raised.

On October 9, Emperor Shengdao abdicated, and the crown prince Li Kezai ascended the throne, with the year name Xianwu.

In the main hall of Weiyang Palace, when the Emperor of the Holy Dao awarded the twelve crowns to the crown prince who was also wearing the twelve chapters, hundreds of civil and military officials in the hall, and thousands of people from all walks of life in the square outside the hall shouted at the same time, and the voice was filled with strong sentimentality. As the Emperor of the Holy Dao, no, the Emperor Taishang said, the era of alternating between the old and the new in his hands is over, and the new era has arrived.

On October 15, Emperor Taishang set off and cruised the Yangtze River in a dragon boat, and then entered Guangdong from Hunan to respond to the Tianfu Baicheng hometown to retire for the New Year. For several consecutive days, from Jiangyin to Zhenjiang to Jinling, millions of people waited along the river to see off the emperor. Throughout the country, flowers and candles were swept away, and the cloth shops were also sold. The dragon boat travels for 300 kilometers, and the sound of drums along the coast has never stopped. Along with the sound of drums, the crying continued, and the old man who had fainted from crying could be seen carried away for ambulance.

The boat passed through Jinling and traveled to the train ferry on the north and south banks, where countless people gathered and shouted long live in unison.

"This is not calling the emperor, but calling the father of the country......"

The old dragon clock, Zheng Xie, who was recuperating in Jinling, bowed deeply to the dragon boat, and sighed in his heart.

"Not only the father of the nation, but also the father of my knowledge and the father of the heart......"

Li Xiangyu, the head of Jinling Women's College and the deacon of the Lawyers' Association, bowed down to the dragon boat Yingying, with her husband next to her and a large number of children and grandchildren behind her.

"The old world is gone, and it's time for "Dream of Red Mansions" to be written."

More than fifty years old, when Cao Zhan, who served as the governor of Jiangsu, bowed to the dragon boat, he saw Li Xiangyu out of the corner of his eye, and he also felt a deep sigh in his heart, the old world is like a dream, and it has passed.

"Your Majesty stays!"

When the dragon boat was about to cross the mouth, the crowd suddenly burst out like a tidal call, and a thin figure appeared at the bow of the boat, waving to the crowd on both sides of the river, the call was louder, and the river seemed to stop flowing for a moment.

"Hundreds of rivers enter the sea, its momentum is surging, I want to stay, and the river does not leave me ......"

Even if he has been in charge of the country for half a century, in the tide of people's hearts, Li Xi is also excited, and ordered his attendants to pass on these words to comfort the people.

"The hearts of the people are the rivers, and Your Majesty will always stay in the hearts of the people!"

"Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, and you should live with Tianqi!"

The two young officers dressed in blue clothes and red pants, the leaders were all black, and the golden moire was blushing, and boldly refuted Li Shi's words, these were two guards from the Fubo army. Even if Li Shi abdicated, the Praetorian Guard and the guards were still in charge of security.

If it is said in peace, such words are the welcome of Chi Guoguo, but in this situation, these words should be the hearts of the two young officers, without a trace of distractions.

Li smiled knowingly, and said lightly: "It's good that you didn't say that longevity is boundless, otherwise I would be annoyed and report my name." ”

The two have dark complexions, but their eyes and eyebrows are delicate, and they obviously have rich experience overseas. Hearing Li Shi's joking tone, he was even more excited. It's not for the sake of wealth, being able to transfer from the grassroots troops to the guards and pro-army is an honor in itself, and a year later it will either be submitted to a more advanced military academy, or entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and the wealth and nobility are already ahead, and they are excited that their names can enter the ears of the emperor.

"Subordinate Fu Kang'an!"

"Subordinate Chang and Shen!"

The two of them held their heads high, stepped on the march, and shouted forcefully.

"Oh...... Well, not bad......"

Li Xian's eyes flickered slightly, Fukangan, and Heshen, they are really outstanding talents, and they can still emerge in this new world and show their style, so I don't know what kind of achievements they will achieve for Yinghua.

"Good job! Yinghua depends on your generation! ”

Li Shi's encouragement made the eyebrows of both of them fly quickly, and it was not until Li Shi's figure disappeared that the two of them came back to their senses slightly.

"We didn't say that we were full of people, isn't it inappropriate?"

"Manchurian? You have to hold the heart of a man, don't get involved with me. ”

"I didn't mean that......"

"There are no Manchurians, our military registration, our household registration, where is it still written Manchurian? Aren't they all British, aren't they all Chinese? ”

The two muttered for a while, the knot disappeared, and they chewed the words of encouragement from the emperor, and then condensed their minds and guarded their posts.

In the cabin, Li Shi unfolded the newspaper, and after his abdication, he instructed the secretary and supervisor not to deliver the report to him, but to be responsible only to the emperor. From now on, if he wants to know about state affairs, he has to read the newspaper himself.

"Nanzhou East Hospital's Ji Yun Corruption Incident ......"

The newspapers were full of articles praising himself and remembering the Holy Dao era, and Li Xian could only find some current affairs reports from a few corners. Slightly stunned when he saw this news, Ji Yun ...... It's a familiar name.

Looking at the content again, when Ji Yun was the president of the Nanzhou East Court, he accepted a bribe of 3,000 taels from the North Iron and Steel Company, and put pressure on the Nanzhou Branch of the East State Yuan to promote the subsidy bill for the northern coal and iron industry, violating the decree of the court and was charged with corruption.

Li Xian sighed, and said in his heart that the stall that his son took over was not so glamorous.

Then he suddenly woke up, Ji Yun, isn't it Ji Xiaolan Ji Big Cigarette Bag? How did this guy run to Nanzhou and become a hospital officer? Ben thought that this character had long since sunk into history.

Looking at the report carefully, he was born in the Coral State Academy, and he was ...... in the Coral State

Another name that has been pressed at the bottom of the memory box for many years jumped up: Zhong Shangwei, Lu Hanshan mentioned to him back then, Zhong Shangwei ran to Nanzhou and established Coral State, which is located on the coast of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia on another plane.

After that, there was another incident related to Zhong Shang's position, that is, four or five years ago, news came from both the Hanlin Yuan and the Fuxing Bank, saying that the Fuxing Bank had contacts with the Jewish upper class, and the Jews were very interested in finding a place to return to their homeland in Egypt first, and were willing to help them on the Suez Canal.

At that time, Li Shi didn't care too much about the Jews, and only ordered the Tongfu to follow up, but the perpetrator of this incident asked him to keep a snack, Zhong San, the son of Zhong Shang.

But it was only a thought for a moment, and then I forgot that the Suez Canal and the Jews were not something that could be done in the short term.

Greeting his wife who followed him back to his hometown to care for the elderly When Yang Shi went to check the situation of Zhong Shang, Li Shiren's old heart is also old, and the grievances with Zhong Shangzhi are no longer taken to heart, so he wants to see the old man, nag about the old things, and he should be in his eighties, I don't know if he is still alive.

A few days later, the ship arrived in Wuchang, and Li Xian learned the whereabouts of Zhong Shangwei, this person was still alive, and he was recuperating at his house near Baicheng. Instructed the attendants to send the news first, and then choose to meet them after arriving in Baicheng.

The ship arrived at Wuchang and docked for a while, and the people also gathered and hugged each other on the shore. An old man was led onto the dragon boat and was about to kneel down, but was pulled by Li Shi.

"One-eyed, aren't you old and confused......"

"I'm not foolish, Your Majesty...... The fourth brother is afraid that he is a little confused, how can he frolic in front of thousands of people? ”

Li Shi pulled Fan Jin up, and the two laughed at each other.

Fan Jin has retired for many years, serving as a mountain chief at the Wuchang Army Academy, and devoting himself to sorting out military literature. Li Xi came here not only to see him, but also to take him back to Baicheng to retire together.

"The bridge can't be built yet, there are too many problems that can't be solved, so we can only expand the ferry first......"

In the train ports on both sides of the river, trains that are about to get on the ferry to cross the river are parked. The whistle sounded as a sign of respect. When Li Xi asked about the Wuchang Bridge, which was hotly discussed in the country before, Fan Jin shook his head and said.

"If you can't build it now, in 20 years, 30 years from now, you will definitely be able to build it!"

Li Shi cheered up Fan Jin, as the grandmaster of military science in the country, Fan Jin paid special attention to the railway, believing that only when the railway was unblocked, Yinghua could Yongzhen border. And now the railway project is facing a big bottleneck: how to cross the river. With Yinghua's current construction technology, it is still difficult to solve the technical problems of large projects such as thousands of meters or even two or three kilometers of cross-river railway bridges.

Fan Jin's one-eyed eyes flashed with regret: "Twenty years later...... Fourth brother, we can't see it anymore. ”

His words were also lower: "When Boss Xiao was dying, he had to be carried to the shipyard and touched the ironclad battleship to feel at ease, after all, he didn't see the majestic posture of the ironclad ship galloping across the ocean. ”

Li Xian's heart was also gloomy, Xiao Sheng originally thought that after the ironclad steam fleet was formed, he would be able to lead the army by himself.

"Don't be too greedy, we've seen enough, the changes that the old world can't see for thousands of years, we've seen it in the past fifty years."

Then Li Shi showed his face, and Fan Jin also smiled with relief.

Then pass Yueyang, October 26, the dragon boat to Changsha. I met an old guy here again: Xie Dingbei. More than 10 years ago, he retired with the rank of general and retired in Changsha, and at the same time served as an honorary mountain chief at the Changsha Army Academy. This time, Li Shi abdicated, and also sealed the old minister, and gave Xie Ding the title of general of Peking University.

When he saw Li Shi, Xie Dingbei wanted to kneel and bow, but when he bent over, he suddenly woke up to the identity of the old subordinate of the Emperor Taishang, and hurriedly held his head high, snapped a military salute, and the whole person jumped up as usual, and then there was an ouch and folded the old waist.

Li Shi sneered and said, "General Xie, the old bones can't stand the toss." ”

Xie Dingbei still sneered: "No matter how old this bone is, Your Majesty will call, and the old minister can also get on the horse and wield the knife!" There is still Manyi in the north, if Your Majesty uses me, you will know that Daying still has me Xie Lianpo! ”

Li Shi beckoned: "Two pigs, let us see, is Xie Lian still able to eat!?" ”

Xie Dingbei said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the old minister only eats vegetarian food now......

Accompanied by Xie Dingbei, an old pistachio, Li Xi went to the old Changsha battlefield to revisit. It is a pity that the war monuments can no longer be seen, except for a Shengwu Temple and a number of monuments, Changsha Tuocheng, the old battlefield is not built houses, or reclaimed as fields.

"The past is gone after all......"

Li Shi stopped the proposal of relocating the battlefield residents in Hunan and building a large memorial hall, and once again embarked on the road to return home.

Hengyang, Yizhang, both the blood and fire memories when the army started, as well as the bits and pieces of heart left by the deceased Xiao Fumei, when passing through Shaozhou, and told Sanniang about the old things of the Shaozhou assassination case, looking at Sanniang's head full of silver threads, Li Xian, who let go of his authority, finally felt that his lover was old, he was old, and he was gradually separated from the world, and the old memories were irrepressibly recovering in his heart.

"I originally wanted to go to sea to escape the world, but it seems to be too dramatic, so let's wait quietly for the summons of heaven in my hometown."

Bai Cheng was in his eyes, and Li Xian's heart also calmed down.

In a mansion somewhere outside Baicheng, a gray-haired fat man was panting heavily, his eyes were shining, and he kept muttering: "Long live the lord, no, the emperor, no, the fourth brother is going to see me......"

Zhong Shangwei has been retired outside Baicheng for many years, his condition has come and gone, and he almost hung up several times, I don't know what anger he has in his heart, and he has survived again and again.

Now that he received a report that the Emperor Taishang wanted to see him, thinking that he was unwell, and that he would come in person, Zhong Shangwei was suddenly pushed up by a fiery heart, the bed was no longer sleeping, and the sickness disappeared, while nagging, while directing his family to decorate the house.

"What should I call me, you say? Hooray...... Not suitable, Your Majesty...... Too distant, fourth brother...... Will it be disrespectful? ”

Late at night, Zhong Shangwei was still muttering in bed, his eyes were shining.

"I think...... It's better for the fourth brother, and the fourth brother came to see me, just thinking about the old love. ”

Zhong Shang's wife was both happy and worried, and she didn't know how to settle down.

"I'll just say, the fourth brother won't hold a grudge against me......"

Zhong Shang's voice gradually became quieter, as if a matter had been entangled for a lifetime, and the doubts that penetrated into the bones had been answered.

"Huh...... Hey...... Haha......"

Zhong Shangwei smiled and smiled, his voice gradually lowered, and when he returned to tranquility, his wife thought he was asleep, and he was breathing a sigh of relief, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he touched his heart, there was no heartbeat.

"Go? Is...... It's a pity. ”

Hearing the news of Zhong Shangwei's death, Li Xian was slightly stunned, he had become a life talisman.

Guan Xuan has been thinking about the bad fat man: "Zhong Fat Man should have died a long time ago!" has lived for so many years, and it is all the forgiveness of Tov-kun! ”

Recalling the story of the Zhong Shangshang listed in the information, Li Xian shook his head and said: "It is also his own heart that guards the surname after all, so that he can enjoy his life." Hard work is wealth, kindness can do the world......"

On the large terrace of Baicheng Manor, although it was winter, there was still a warm sun at this time, covering Li Xi and his wife. Looking at Sanniang, Guan Xuan, Siniang, Zhu Yuyou and Xu Zhifei, although the red face has passed away and the flowers are all there, for Li Xian, it is still like a dew in his heart, attached to his heart one by one, making him feel carefree.

In the past four years, Li Xi has lost two more wives, An Jiuxiu died of old injuries, and Ma Qianyue died of childbirth. However, compared to others, especially the emperors of the old world, Li Xi felt that he was too happy.

"I've worked hard all my life, isn't it just for such a world?"

Li Shi's words reminded Sanniang of the promise made decades ago, and she subconsciously frowned.

"Ah, in fact, I still don't quite understand what kind of world you are asking for. I really don't understand the great principles of civilization and freedom. ”

Li Xi smiled slightly, beckoned Sanniang and Guan Xuan and others to come over, and looked into the distance from the terrace, the fields were stretched soothingly, and the farmers were driving the cattle and turning the soil.

Li Xian said: "It's not complicated, what I ask for is just a world where everyone can make their own decisions and make a choice, and everyone can take responsibility." ”

Under the warm sun, the light and shadow are blurred, it seems that time is reversed, and Li Shi's voice seems to be younger: "I am my own emperor!" ”

Sanniang, Guan Xuan, Siniang, Zhu Yuyou, and Xu Zhifei all looked at Li Shi quietly, the sun washed away the erosion of time, and the beautiful woman stood beside her, smiling, and her eyes as deep as Qiuhong had both admiration and deep love.

Li Xian was aware of it, and looked back at it, Xiao Fumei and An Jiuxiu were like fairies in the picture, standing in Yingying, behind Baoyin and Ma Qianyue leaning on each other, pursing their lips and smiling, there was a half-hidden dress in the corner, and Luo Shenniang's silhouette was clearly visible.

In the Weiyang Palace in Tokyo, Li Kezai sat on the throne, and there was no one on the back seat next to him, and there was a book on it.

Nanjing, in an old temple outside the Xiguan Yingci Monastery in Guangzhou County, the saint statues are lined up on the left and right, and a stone statue is being carved in a position that has been vacant. On the wall behind the stone statue is the word "Last Sage".

End of the book
