"Since ancient times, there has been a lot of life in the red face, and the world is not allowed to see the white head."

Lao Zhu sighed softly.

After ascending the throne, Lao Zhu occasionally cultivated his sentiments, and he didn't know how many troupes he had seen perform the scene of Farewell My Concubine.

No matter how good the troupe is, what they are acting is acting after all, and they are not as good as watching this scene.

'Not true. ’

Ji Boying didn't have time to enjoy the poignant scene of the overlord's farewell concubine.

His gaze has been on Xiang Yu and Yu Ji from beginning to end, looking for possible historical loopholes from these two people.

Suddenly.

At the moment when Yu Ji Cinnabar fell into tears and was about to kill herself with a sword.

Xiang Yu's speed was extremely fast, and he actually grabbed the blade of the sword and let the blood flow from his palm.

"Qing is burdened, how can Yu abandon each other."

"Liu Bang is a villain, but there are only hundreds of thousands of ants."

"There is a lonely black horse, there is a lonely overlord halberd, what are you afraid of."

Xiang Yu raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of Yu Ji's eyes.

"Husband..."

Yu Ji was stunned, burst into tears, and threw herself into Xiang Yu's arms.

Lao Zhu on the side was stunned, how could this plot be different from the troupe he had seen.

"Brother, why don't we feel that something is wrong, it is obviously not written like this in the history books, is it that Taishi Gong is making it up again?"

Hearing this, Ji Boying didn't speak, but frowned.

This place is the loophole.

The original historical process should have been broken by Yu Ji with a sword, and then it was staged to say goodbye to the overlord and yin and yang.

And then.

The overlord of Chu turned his inner grief and anger into strength, and led his eight hundred elite horsemen to break through and rush out of the siege, and after being chased and killed all the way, there was a follow-up Wujiang self-killing.

But now Xiang Yu obviously has no intention of breaking through.

Instead, he took Yu Ji to play self-explosion under this wall, and this posture was to blow up Liu Ji's leg.

"Gone."

Ji Boying thought for a moment and said a word.

Swish.

Ji Boying and Lao Zhu disappeared in an instant.

But.

With Ji Boying, it was not only Lao Zhu who disappeared, but also Yu Ji in Xiang Yu's arms.

Suddenly, he was about to save the last wave with Yu Ji, and then he went out with a knife to cut the overlord of Western Chu.

The whole person was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked down at his already empty embrace, and he couldn't react at all.

What about people?!

After a flicker in front of his eyes, Xiang Yu suddenly saw it.

Half a zhang in front of him, there was a woman in red lying in a pool of blood, and in Xiang Yu's attention, the body of the woman in red turned into an inch of red flower, completely dissipating in front of him.

The eyes were heavy and shrunk suddenly.

Everything is like a dream.

Xiang Yu subconsciously grabbed forward, but he didn't catch anything after all.

……………………

A few hours later.

In the starry night, on the bank of the Wujiang River, there is a flat boat, which is quietly moored on this bank at this time.

On the flat boat, there were two people standing side by side, a boatman and an old farmer.

"Brother, doesn't it seem a bit unauthentic for us to do this?"

At this time, Lao Zhu, who was wearing an old peasant costume, always felt that he had become unclean.

first played a wave of exciting ticket kidnapping activities, kidnapped Yu Ji from the big tent of the overlord of Western Chu, and then made a Jiangyang thief on the bank of the Wujiang River.

Lao Zhu never thought that he would be able to have such a magical experience in this life.

Who would have imagined that a founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty would rob a boatman.

Is this the corruption of humanity or the loss of morality?

At the same time, on the other side of the Wujiang River.

There was a poor boatman who had just experienced the first robbery in his life, and his whole body was stripped of his coat, shivering from the cold, squatting on the shore, snorting and tearful, and his eyes looked pitiful, helpless and full of doubt.

The boatman was rowing well, but suddenly two big men came up, didn't say anything, and in broad daylight, he even picked up his clothes directly, there was no royal law!

And what made the boatman even more angry was that just as he was about to accept his fate and dedicate his precious blood.

Suddenly it was discovered that the two brutes had only picked up their own clothes, and after picking up their clothes, they threw themselves on the riverside and ran away in their own boats.

Boatman: ('д′)! I'm so unattractive?!

"No problem."

Ji Boying calmly replied to Lao Zhu.

In fact, Ji Boying can embody the boatman's clothes, but he really can't imagine what the boatman should wear these days, and he can't imagine it, so he simply borrows it and uses it.

As for the whole process, Ji Boying first took Yu Ji away from Xiang Yu's tent, and used holographic projection to create a wave of Yu Ji dying by herself, turning into a red flower and dissipating, just so that Xiang Yu could accept the fact that Yu Ji was dead according to the historical script and continue to break through.

And then.

In order to ensure that Xiang Yu could reach the bank of the Wujiang River smoothly, Ji Boying also arranged for Lao Zhu to replace the old farmer who showed the way, which is also the reason why Lao Zhu wore a simple farmer's clothes.

At last.

Ji Boying personally incarnated as a boatman and waited on the bank of the Wujiang River.

Moreover.

On the bank of the Wujiang River, there is a red-clothed figure, waiting quietly, this woman in red is Yu Ji who was taken away by Ji Boying.

This is Yu Ji's long-cherished wish, and Ji Boying simply fulfilled her wish.

"Brother, here."

Lao Zhu looked up and said loudly.

Ji Boying also stared. ，

With the sound of horses' hooves rolling, sure enough, there was a horse galloping in the distance, and this ride did not stop until the bank of the Wujiang River, this is Xiang Yu with blood all over his body.

At this time, Xiang Yu stood on his horse, and there was no tiredness in his tired eyes.

He didn't care about the Han army chasing after him, and at this time, his eyes only fell on one person, and that was the woman who was running towards him.

The red clothes are fluttering, and the light is like a dream.

Turning over and getting off the black horse, Xiang Yu opened his arms.

Strike.

"The King of Han has an order, whoever kills Xiang Yu will be rewarded with gold and gold, and the marquis of ten thousand households will be sealed!"

The surging Han army rushed up frantically.

"Are you afraid?"

Yu Ji in her arms, smiling like a flower.

"Don't be afraid."

Xiang Yu smiled.

Holding Yu Ji in his left hand and holding a sword in the other, he looked at these Han soldiers calmly, with a pair of eyes, looking at the world.

"Today, although lonely is dead."

"But it's still the overlord of Western Chu!"

On the wooden boat on the bank of the Wujiang River, Ji Boying calmly watched the scene of the hero's end.

Compared with the previous historical changes, it only changed the place of Yu Ji's death, and for now, this change will not provoke any butterfly effect.

Swish.

The wooden boat was empty, and there was no one left.

…………………………

Hongwu time and space, drunken immortal pavilion top private room.

At the moment when Ji Boying returned with Lao Zhu, in front of his eyes, a magnified font and golden subtitles popped up.

「NB」

The approximate meaning of this subtitle is that the bounty mission has been completed and "NB" has been obtained.

But.

There is one point, which is quite unexpected for Ji Boying.

Because it is the first bounty mission, the dog system gives double rewards, which also means "NB+2".

And "NB+2" can be exchanged for a key to restart the space-time gate.

Ji Boying did not hesitate and directly exchanged the "Door Key" once.

"Brother, what was the purpose of what we just did?"

After coming back, Lao Zhu couldn't help but ask questions while taking off his old peasant clothes and putting on his handsome and mighty dragon robe.

He always felt that this trip was confused, and he didn't know what he had done.

"I don't have to understand."

Ji Boying was too lazy to explain these things to Lao Zhu, and there was no way to explain these things.

Fortunately.

Under this wave of experiments, Ji Boying found that this bounty task was not as difficult as he imagined, and it belonged to the type of care gift package that sent blood packs.

Take a deep breath and your mind wanders.

"Whether to restart the gate of time and space?"

"Yes" "No"

Faced with this choice, there was no hesitation at all, and Ji Boying directly chose "yes".

Then, there was a brief silence.

Lao Zhu on the side saw that Ji Boying was frowning all the time, and he didn't continue to ask, and his expression was also very dignified.

In Lao Zhu's opinion, the elder brother must have encountered some problem when he was in Xianyou.

About half a tea time later.

"Reminder: The Gate of Time and Space in Chenghua has been opened, valid for 24 hours"

Ji Boying's eyes suddenly lit up with such a golden subtitle, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief.

The validity period of this space-time gate can also be understood.

The original rule was that for the door of time and space to be opened for a long time, the person named by the time and space must be alive.

So what Ji Boying has to do now is to find out how Zhu Jianshen died within 24 hours, and then get an "NB" to exchange for "time and space regression", and go back to the timeline before Zhu Jianshen died.

"Come with me to Chenghua."

Ji Boying closed the light curtain in front of him, looked at Lao Zhu and said.

"Okay."

Hearing this, Lao Zhu, who had just changed into the dragon robe on his body, nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly frowned slightly.

Ji Boying remembered something and pondered for a moment.

With a thought, I saw that in this private room, on the side of Ji Boying and Lao Zhu, another figure appeared, and the person who came was Emperor Tianshun - blackened Zhu Qizhen.

The blackened Zhu Qizhen who suddenly appeared was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't react a little.

After all.

When the class ended a year ago, the immortal master said that the class would be held in a year and a half, but now it has only been a year, and it is far from the duration of a year and a half.

And.

The wind chimes have not sounded, and this is obviously not the main hall of the Drunken Immortal Building, but the private room on the top of the pavilion, and except for the grandfather, only he appeared alone.

Emperor Tianshun thought quickly, and quickly figured out that this should be a special call from the Immortal Master.

"You and me and Lao Zhu will go to Chenghua time and space together."

Regarding the blackened Zhu Qizhen that had just appeared, Ji Boying did not explain too much.

The reason why I wanted to bring the blackened Zhu Qizhen on this trip to Chenghua time and space was also simple.

When a dynasty is in the midst of a period of subversive reform, and during this period of time, His Majesty the Emperor who led the reform suddenly dies without any arrangements for the future, then what the situation of the dynasty will look like, even if you think about it with your feet, you can guess it.

One word, messy.

Under the chaos, any demons and monsters will come out, and perhaps the once rotten cowardly bag will become an iron-headed man in an instant.

Of course.

For Ji Boying, because sooner or later he has to go back to the timeline of Chenghua time and space, it doesn't matter what the current Chenghua Dynasty will end up messing with, even if it is destroyed in situ.

However, Ji Boying's core need is to find out how Zhu Jianshen died.

In this way, after looking back on the timeline, the problem can be solved at the root, and it is impossible to go back and let Zhu Jianshen die again.

And in order to find out the cause of Zhu Jianshen's death, it is necessary to prevent someone from fishing in troubled waters, and it is necessary to let Chenghua settle down in this pool of water, then someone must come out of the town.

This candidate is none other than Emperor Tianshun's blackening of Zhu Qizhen.

In the thirteenth year of Chenghua, this time has not been long since the year of Tianshun, and the important positions in the court and the central government are basically orthodox-Jingtai-Tianshunnian's jinshi, and they still recognize the face of Emperor Tianshun.

Blackening Zhu Qizhen is definitely enough to brush.

"Yes."

Emperor Tianshun nodded.

He didn't ask what to do, and he still knew what to ask and what not to ask.

"What are you doing?"

Lao Zhu on the side, his eyes fell on Emperor Tianshun at this time, and he felt an extremely strong aura of slaughter from the body of the blackened Zhu Qizhen, which was obviously just brought back from the battlefield.

"Hui Taizu."

"I just led the army to the second son in Mobeiping, and I beheaded 18,000 level warats, and this will be on the way back."

Blackened Zhu Qizhen spoke calmly, as if the head of the 18,000 whara cut off was not a human head, but 18,000 watermelons.

"Good!"

"There is a chance."

Lao Zhu was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled.

He didn't expect that this Tianshun Zhu Qizhen could have such a big change, and when he thought of Zhu Qizhen's appearance before, compared with the front and back, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth.

In Lao Zhu's view, this also fully illustrates the plasticity of his old Zhu family's descendants!

"It seems that the beating we beat you before was not in vain."

Lao Zhu patted the blackened Zhu Qizhen's shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Ji Boying tilted his head slightly and glanced at the blackened Zhu Qizhen.

Now he definitely has reason to believe that the blackened Zhu Qizhen usually sticks to Wang Yangming as long as he is in class, and he definitely not only asks Wang Yangming for the essentials of mental learning, but he is afraid that he has also learned the art of war.

Take a deep breath and continue to focus on the Chenghua Space-Time Gate, which has been restarted.

Ji Boying was really curious.

This Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen, how did he die.

Did you die yourself, or were you killed?!

If someone really killed him, who would have the ability and guts?!

A thought.

Swish.

In an instant, the figures of the three disappeared in the elegant room at the top of the pavilion.

…………………………

Formation of time and space.

For Chenghua time and space, Ji Boying has carried out a total of two timeline slides, once for more than half a year, and once for the current year.

At present, the time and space of Chenghua, from the spring of the eleventh year of Chenghua, when the immortal master Ji Boying first came, is already the thirteenth year of Chenghua, and it is the time of the alternation of autumn and winter.

After a year and a half of reforms, especially under the efforts of Emperor Zhu Jianshen of Chenghua to burst his liver day and night, there have been great changes.

A series of state-level co-ordinating institutions, such as the Daming Royal Tiangong Institute, the Royal Academy of Medicine, the Royal Academy of Chinese Studies, and the Royal Silver Head Office, have all been built and officially started to operate, from office space to staffing.

Then there is the reform of household registration, the reform of the army, the reform of the imperial examination, the reform of the people's livelihood, the reform of the clan, and so on, each of which is in full swing.

The silver from Wajima had been continuously transported back to the Ming Dynasty as early as a year ago, and the Japanese slaves were also transported back in large quantities to serve as hard labor.

The silver expansion plan has also expanded to most of Southeast Asia, and the surplus silver has been continuously injected into Southeast Asian countries.

With the injection of silver into overseas, it was the economic control of the overseas countries of the Ming Dynasty, and in exchange for the large amount of productivity of these countries pouring back to the Ming Dynasty.

Under this virtuous circle system, the overall national strength of Chenghua Daming is rising at a doubling rate.

The army's firearms have developed rapidly, and the first batch of projects after the Royal Tiangong Institute began to operate, including the research and development of flintlock pistols, because there are samples, there is basically no difficulty in research and development improvement.

Now the Chenghua Ming Dynasty has been able to mass-produce flintlock pistols, one gun per capita, which is not an exaggeration.

And the Ming Dynasty paid the most attention to the northern situation.

Since the autumn of the twelfth year of Chenghua, Emperor Chenghua has issued an order to build a long military grain route in the north, and there is no need to be afraid of spending money!

After the construction of the grain road, he ordered an army of 100,000 to go north to warat.

At first, Warat also wanted to face up to Da Ming, but it turned out that he couldn't be rigid at all, and in front of 100,000 flintlock muskets, this Warat cavalry was a group of live targets.

The Ming army went all the way deep and built more and more fortresses outside the Great Wall, and the farthest fortress had reached 500 miles away from Mobei, forcing the Wara Tartars to graze.

And that's far from over.

In Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen's long-term plan for the north, the Warat Tartars in the north of the desert must be completely wiped out, and these Tartars will either be killed, or they will leave Asia and go to Europe to rob.

This is also one of the prerequisites of the 'Siberian' policy in the classroom, and Zhu Jianshen resolutely implements it.

As for Jiannu, which is also in the north, the entire Jianzhou from last spring to this autumn, in just one and a half years, the Jianzhou Jurchens have been repeatedly plowed seven times by Emperor Chenghua before and after.

History said, seven ploughs to build a state.

Especially the surname Aixin Jueluo, if you catch one, you will be counted as one, and they will be chopped up and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Now in Jianzhou, there are 30,000 regular garrisons in the Ming Dynasty, all of whom are carrying guns, and even a Jurchen dog on the street does not dare to bark loudly, for fear of being dragged out to stew.

The only thing that didn't move was Annan and other countries in the south, and the immortal master didn't talk about this part of the content, so Zhu Jianshen didn't move for the time being.

So to speak.

The national strength of the entire Chenghua Dynasty is in a stage of rapid improvement, and the absolute dragon is taking off.

However.

It's all there.

With the sudden death of the dominant Emperor Chenghua, it came to an abrupt end.

Although it is not obvious for the time being, it can already be seen.

For example, on the second day of Emperor Chenghua's death, the massive R&D funds that should have been provided to the Royal Tiangong Institute were forcibly cut in half by the cabinet for no reason, and more than half of the R&D projects were paralyzed.

From the point of view of the process, the funding resolution of the Royal Tiangong Academy can only be proposed by the head of the Royal Tiangong Academy, and directly submitted to the Son of Heaven, who will personally approve it.

But now the time and space of Chenghua.

The Son of Heaven has collapsed, and the new Son of Heaven has not yet determined who it is.

The head of the Royal Tiangong Academy (Taichang Song Yingxing) was not there, and the cabinet naturally forced the matter to do it.

And this is just a microcosm.

Not only the Royal Heavenly Academy, but also other newly established institutions, with the death of the Son of Heaven, more or less began to have problems, and even the army that had just completed the reform began to have black hands involved.

After all, the imperial court now spends several times more on the army than in the past.

Can't wait to get here, they all want to get a piece of the pie as soon as possible.

And speaking of the new emperor.

This is the moment.

In the Fengtian Temple of Chenghua Time and Space, a court meeting is underway.

However, it is interesting that this court meeting only has ministers, not a monarch.

On the dragon chair, empty.

And now, three full days have passed since the death of Emperor Chenghua, that is to say, in these three days, the entire Chenghua Ming Dynasty is completely in a state of no emperor.

Theoretically speaking, the sky cannot be without a day, and the country cannot be without a king for a day.

Since the previous emperor has died, the next one should immediately ascend the throne before the spirit.

But.

Who will succeed to the throne?

This became a problem.

What the Chenghua Dynasty is arguing about at the moment is this matter, who can ascend the throne and succeed to the throne?!

The main group of people who are facing the gang is divided into two groups.

First, the Wenchen group headed by Wan'an, a bastard.

Second, the eunuch group headed by Wang Zhi, the commander of the West Factory, of course, there is Wan Guifei standing behind Wang Zhi.

In fact, without this major reform that began last year, this issue would basically not need to be debated.

The father dies and the son replaces, this is the ancestral system.

In addition, before Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen died, there was only one cub like Zhu Youzhang, so Zhu Youzhu should be the next son of heaven.

However, here comes the core problem.

This major reform includes the reform of the prince system, which was decided as early as a year ago, and the prince must meet the age of fifteen, which is a hard condition for succession!

This also means that from the perspective of the prince system, even if Zhu Youzhu is Zhu Jianshen's only son, he still cannot inherit the unification.

Therefore, the current situation is divided into two factions.

First, the civil official group demanded that the vassal kings who were close to Zhu Jianshen by blood be selected from other places to succeed to the throne, that is, the sons of Yingzong.

Second, the eunuch group resolutely supported the eight-year-old Zhu Youzhang to succeed him.

The reason why these two factions made such a different choice is also simple.

As long as the civil official group can welcome the vassal king to the throne from other places, the civil official group will collectively have the merit of being a dragon, and will turn over and sing from then on.

And the eunuch group wants Zhu Youzhu to succeed to the throne because the eight-year-old Zhu Youzhu cannot govern in person, and can only be regent by Wan Guifei, so this court is naturally the eunuch and his relatives have the final say.

"The system of the prince, this is the system personally set by Emperor Daxing during his lifetime."

"Wang Zhi! Are you going to disobey the orders of the Emperor Daxing?! ”

In the Chenghua Dynasty, Wan'an, who has always been known as a bastard, will become extremely rigid.

In fact, Wan An is not the first assistant of the cabinet now, but the second assistant, and the first assistant is Li Bing, who participated in the training course of the first assistant.

It's just that Li Bing is too upright, and when Zhu Jianshen supports him, Li Bing can stabilize and implement it drastically, but as soon as Zhu Jianshen dies, basically no one among the civil officials listens to Li Bing's words anymore.

For example, the cutting of the funds of the Royal Heavenly Academy was done by cabinet members collectively bypassing Li Bing.

In the end, Old Man Li still couldn't hold his hand.

In addition, Li Bing has been seriously ill for more than half a month since the beginning of autumn, and now he can't even get out of bed, so he can't even participate in the court meeting.

"Huh."

Wang Zhi glanced at Wan An and smiled coldly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen up."

"Today's words of this governor are the edict of the noble concubine, who will not accept it?!"

Eunuch Wang was dressed in a majestic python robe, standing in front of the hall with his waist crossed, holding his head high, and slapping these ministers with his nostrils.

The voice fell.

From both sides of this Fengtian Palace, suddenly a large number of brocade guards poured out, and the embroidered spring knives in their hands were all pulled out.

Dare to show your sword in the Fengtian Temple, good guy, the rebellion is like this.

This posture is like being cut by the court, and the shocked group of Wenchen are all pale, after all, no one wants to be stabbed.

"Don't say that you corrupt Confucians, even if Emperor Yingzong manifests today, it won't work!"

Bang~!

The glimmer of time, Yu Long did not stop, and a dragon golden thunder divided the sky into two.
