Chapter 2 Li Yuan's Edict
A few days have passed since the crown prince's canonization ceremony, on this night, the moon and stars are scarce, the prince Li Xingchen deliberately passed by the imperial study, but saw that there was no guard in front of the door, and suddenly felt puzzled, so he strode up, gently pushed the door open, looked left and right, and shouted tentatively: "Father, the emperor has something to see." But there was no response. Xingchen thought to himself: "Didn't my father deliberately leave this gap for me to enter?" Suddenly his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately closed the door and slipped in lightly, and indeed he didn't see his father's figure. So he came to the big vase, and Li Xingchen had memorized the rhythm of Li Yi's beating the vase before, so he concocted it and entered the secret room smoothly. After finding the floor, Xingchen said to himself, "Hehe, kowtow? With that, he raised his fist and slammed it on the floor three times, and sure enough, the floor went down, and the stone pillar immediately rose, and what appeared in front of him was the small box.
Li Xingchen thought that this box had a brain-consuming password and an attacking bow and crossbow mechanism or something, but after observing for a long time, he didn't find anything, just an ordinary box, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, so he directly turned the lid of this box up, only to see that the box was paved with high-quality silk, and there was a scroll of holy decree on the silk, next to the holy decree was a pendant, and the scarlet silk thread was strung with a crystal transparent substance, this thing was about half a finger in size, showing the appearance of angular crystals, the shape was simple, and there was no elaborate carving and flashy dazzling of today's ornaments, which was obviously not a thing here。 Li Xingchen looked at this holy decree, he suddenly felt bored, but he was interested in this pendant, so he picked it up and wanted to observe it carefully, but his fingers just touched the object, and in an instant, his head was stunned, and his body seemed to be unconscious...... Li Xingchen was deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate himself, as if these scenes were familiar but extremely unfamiliar, and his heart seemed to have a deep fit with these scenes. "This holy decree, don't you take it out and take a look at it?" Li Xingchen suddenly heard a voice in his ear, which made him suddenly wake up like a dream, and he replied angrily as if he had been woken up from a sweet dream: "What are you panicking about? Wait and see!" After speaking, he realized that something was wrong, the voice just now...... How...... As soon as he turned around, he saw Li Yi standing behind him, but when he came in, he didn't even know it! Just now he was completely immersed in that illusion and was unaware of it, which was normal. Although according to Li Xingchen's guess, his father deliberately let him into this secret room, and he should not be severely punished, but when he saw his father at this time, he couldn't help but be a little frightened. Li Xingchen stammered, "Father...... Father ......" The corners of Li Yi's mouth raised, and he pointed to the holy decree and said, "Xingchen, look at the holy decree." "Yes. Li Xingchen calmed down, swallowed his saliva, picked up the holy decree in the box, and presented it to Li Yi, who did not accept it, but just motioned to Xingchen to look at the holy decree. Li Xingchen didn't dare to disobey, and slowly unfolded the holy decree, and at a glance, Li Xingchen was shocked, it turned out that this was the edict of Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, "Junior children, I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shude, I was told by an immortal when I was in the second county, and I could get the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui, which was the fortune of heaven, so I responded to the mandate of heaven and built the country of the Tang Dynasty." However, the immortals also vented the opportunity in me, and the Li family will have an heir who will be born by stepping on the streamer stars, and this son can lead to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty...... "It turned out that when Li Yuan, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, was serving as the Taishou of Xingyang and Loufu two counties, suddenly an immortal descended from the sky and told Li Yuan that he could obtain the rivers and mountains of the Great Sui, which was the fortune of heaven, so Li Yuan persevered no matter how difficult the journey was, and finally established the Tang Dynasty." The immortal also told him that there would be one person in the Li clan who would be born on the streamer star, this person was the chosen person of heaven and earth, gifted, and had a grand mission, that is, to prevent a devastating catastrophe in the twenty-first century, and the pendant put together with the holy decree was the key to open the time tunnel, which was given to Li Yuan when the immortal came, as long as the person who stepped on the stars dropped a drop of blood on it, he could go directly to the twenty-first century, receive training, and stop the catastrophe. And there is a wonderful connection between the 21st century and the Tang Dynasty, if he succeeds in preventing this catastrophe, and then uses this pendant to return to the Tang Dynasty in the same way, he can get eternal life, assist the emperors of the past dynasties, and get the eternal inheritance of the Tang Dynasty. If it is defeated, then the Tang Dynasty will still gradually decline from glory to decline like those dynasties in the past. And no matter how long this God-destined person stays in the 21st century, and then returns to the Tang Dynasty, the time of the Tang Dynasty is only a short moment, which is really amazing. After that, Li Yuan built this secret room, and on the day of the establishment of the prince, he informed the prince Li Jiancheng and Li Shiming, who had the greatest credit, and Li Yuanji, and taught the method of entering the secret room, because this matter is related to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, so after the three sons are Li, they will not reveal this big secret, and Li Yuan also decreed that if any of the princes leaks the secret to outsiders, they will be immediately demoted to concubines, and the emperor after that must inform the princes of this secret on the day of canonization of the prince, waiting for the prince of later generations who came from the streamer star, and then, there was a matter of Li Yu leading Li Xingchen to the secret room, and Li Yu told Li Xingchen not to enter without permission, is just a test for him, if Li Xingchen is sluggish and old-fashioned, and he can't even pass this test, how can he still be worthy of being a person who will build the foundation of the Tang Dynasty?
After Li Xingchen finished reading, the corners of his mouth had already raised a trace of cunning, "I am not a thing in the pool, how can I be willing to be trapped in shallow water......?" Li Xingchen has lived in the palace since he was a child and has never gone out, just like a canary trapped in a finely carved golden birdcage, although it looks luxurious and comfortable, in fact, he yearns for the outside world in his heart, even if he is the current prince and the future emperor, but even if he becomes the emperor, he is not bound by a group of ministers like this, just like a puppet raised by people, so there is no big expectation for the future in his heart, and now, there is an opportunity in front of him, the opportunity to get out of the palace and reach an unknown world, which is absolutely tempting for Xiao Xingchen。
Li Xingchen turned his head to Li Yu and said loudly: "Father, the emperor will not disgrace his mission and do his best to complete such a major matter related to the foundation of the Li family!" "Hmm...... Then ...... Let's get started......" Li Yi said. Xiao Xingchen nodded solemnly, hesitated, and picked up the pendant, this time there was no feeling just now, but he felt cool and pleasant between his fingers, and he was suddenly relaxed, and then pinched the pendant and stabbed it lightly with the tip of the finger of his left ring finger, a drop of blood dripped on the pendant, and the pendant immediately showed a dazzling light, Xiao Xingchen was surprised by this change, the light suddenly spread outward, Xiao Xingchen felt a wave of light coming, his mind was blank, buzzing, dizzy He gradually fell into darkness......
The mother's face appeared vaguely in front of him, Xingchen knew that he was dreaming again, his thoughts about his mother had been deep in the bone marrow, he often saw his mother smiling at him in his dreams, his mother's lips moved, but Xingchen couldn't hear any sound, every time he stretched out his hand, but he could only touch a void, his mother disappeared, and every time he woke up, he always found that he was crying. But this time, the feeling was not quite the same, Li Xingchen hesitantly stretched out his hand, but his hand was grabbed, the warmth of the palm was so real! Xiao Xingchen suddenly came to his senses. "Feng'er, I'm my mother, do you still know me?" Feng'er, Feng'er...... "The person in front of her is her mother, her face has long been deeply imprinted in Xiao Xingchen's heart, and it will never be erased. Xingchen's eyes gradually filled, and soon burst into tears, "Mother...... "It......'s been a long time since Xiao Xingchen has shouted so happily, and he doesn't feel that the tears are even more turbulent. Mother leaned down and hugged Xiao Xingchen and cried: "I'm here, Mom is here, Feng'er, don't worry......" The two finally finished crying, and the mother covered the quilt for Xingchen and gently wiped her tears. Xingchen saw that there was a smiling father standing next to him, although he was smiling, he also exuded endless majesty. "Father...... Father, why are you here?" But my father's costume looked really strange to Xiao Xingchen, I saw that my father was wearing a set of weird black clothes that were ironed straight, and there was a silk belt hanging from his chest, Xiao Xingchen was from the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally didn't know suits and ties. And the mother wore a dress, which was not weird compared to the women's clothing of the Tang Dynasty. The mother looked at her father, pursed her lips, looked at the stars again, frowned slightly, and said to her father, "I'll call a doctor to come and see." After glancing at the two of them again, the father nodded, and the mother went out. "Father......" "Don't talk, you just woke up, have a good rest." Xiao Xingchen had no choice but to stop talking, closing his eyes and thinking vigorously. I remember that I was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and came here according to the edict of Gaozu Li Yuan, after that burst of light, I felt that the heavens and the earth were rotating, and I slowly lost consciousness, and when I woke up, I found myself in this strange place, Xiao Xingchen looked around, here is not as magnificent as the palace, but it is also clean and bright, and the warm sunlight in the window is projected in, but this window is covered by a transparent square, if it is not for Xiao Xingchen's careful observation, he will not find this dusty glass at all, because he has never seen this kind of thing before, and of course he doesn't know that this thing is called glass。 In this room, there is only this hospital bed, and some strange household items. For these, Xiao Xingchen knew that he had come to the twenty-first century as mentioned in Li Yuan's edict, so it was not surprising that there were some things here that he had never seen before, but Xiao Xingchen was determined, so he was not too surprised. However, he actually picked up his parents here, what is going on? The more Xingchen thought about it, the more confused his thoughts became, and he simply didn't want to think about it. When he opened his eyes suddenly, he saw his mother just walk in, followed by a doctor and two nurses, but now Xingchen didn't know this modern name, and only thought that these people were wearing white coats that looked like Taoist priests.
"Doctor, Feng'er still knows me and his father, but he calls us 'Mother' and 'Father', what's going on?" the mother asked the doctor anxiously. "Well, I'll ask him some questions first. The doctor said slowly with a calm face, then walked to the bedside and asked Xiao Xingchen, "Little friend, do you still know him?" he asked, pointing to Xingchen's father. "He's the Father. "What about her?" the doctor pointed to his mother again, "Mother." Xingchen replied. "So, who are you?" the doctor looked at the stars, his face furrowed and his eyes deep, as if he was interrogating a philosophy of life. Xingchen suddenly thought that the edict of the first emperor Li Yuan said that he would travel back in time to more than a thousand years later, and remembered that his mother called him "Feng'er" just now, and thought that his identity must have changed after more than a thousand years, but he couldn't tell the doctor that he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he would be suspected of having a brain problem, so he had to shake his head, "Then do you remember what happened before?" The doctor continued to ask. Xingchen didn't know anything about himself more than a thousand years later, so he shook his head again, "Don't remember at all?" the doctor asked. The mother next to her frowned, but the father stood calmly with a natural expression. "Don't ask, I really don't remember anything. Xingchen pretended to be helpless, but he couldn't help but feel a little weak, after all, there are some unspeakable secrets, and even if he says it, who will believe it? Your child suffered amnesia due to a violent blow to the head, but fortunately, he still remembers you, but it may be that watching too many court dramas has had a deep impact on his subconscious, so he has changed his name to you like this, but it doesn't matter, you go back and let him rest well, maybe he can still remember something, this kind of thing can't be rushed, you have to take it slowly......" Xingchen only felt that this old man was too verbose, and finally listened to him, and his parents completed the discharge procedures and changed his clothes to take him home.
Walking out of the hospital gate, I saw a Mercedes-Benz Spin RV parked in front of me, and there were two bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses standing next to the car. "This driver has been following Xingchen's father since he was in his twenties, and has been driving for his father for more than ten years, just like an old friend of his father, so his father is not harsh on him. The father nodded slightly, let Xingchen and his mother get into the car first, and then he got into the car, and after the bodyguards closed the car door for them, one of the two bodyguards immediately sat in the passenger seat, and the other sat in the back seat, which was for the need to protect the employer. The car started and gradually drove away from the hospital.
In the car, the unsmiling father told Xingchen some things he should know, Xingchen learned that his father's name is Ouyang Muzi, and he is the chairman of the Ouyang Consortium in City C, and the status of the Ouyang Consortium in City C is very high, and only the Qiao Consortium has the ability to compete with it. Her mother's name is Bai Yunjing, she was born in a scholarly family, her parents are both university professors, and she also has a double master's degree in medicine and biology, and she is dignified and elegant, and she has a beautiful demeanor. And his name is Ouyang Zangfeng. Zang Feng means that people should not be exposed to the sharp edge and cause trouble; the long-term solution is to collect their sharp edge and work hard secretly. This is also full of Ouyang Muzi's expectations for his son. Xingchen also consciously changed his name to his parents, calling him "Dad, Mom". The three of them sat together, talking and laughing, it was really a warm scene of family reunion, Xingchen had not experienced such happiness for a long time, so he closed his eyes intoxicated and enjoyed this short period of happiness. However, at this time, Xingchen did not know that the three of them would soon be teased by fate......
