|||->-> When Xie Zhenliang raised his head and looked at the stars in the night sky, thousands of miles away in Jinling City, Nanjing, the capital division, in front of the steps of the imperial palace, the emperor Zhu Di was also holding his hands behind his back and looking at the night sky with his neck tilted with interest.

He didn't seem to be looking at any star, just looking at it casually, contemplating it in his head.

There were no chamberlains around, and those chamberlains had been sent away from him from a distance, only a thin figure kneeling behind him in official clothes, motionless.

After watching it for a long time, Zhu Di moved his slightly sore neck, and suddenly asked, "Seven Stars Alignment, you won't be wrong this day, right?"

The kneeling person on the ground did not dare to raise his head, and responded in a loud voice: "The minister has repeatedly calculated many times before, according to the previous ancient historical records, this anomaly appears every time it appears in more than one jiazi, and the minister deduces according to the stars, and the date of occurrence should be around the same day." ”

Yijiazi is sixty years, which means that there may be only one chance in this life to see the difference in the sky, and only this chance to complete this dream in his heart.

Zhu Di couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart, time is ruthless, the white horse flies, even if he is the Son of Heaven and the Ninth Five, he can't escape the clutches of the years.

Since Empress Xu, Zhu Di has increasingly felt the ruthlessness of time, his body is not as good as before, in the past, he could sleep for several days in a row, leading the army to run thousands of miles, and even at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he could also stay up all night for several consecutive days to review the chapters.

Now, I feel low on energy, and I am very tired at night, and I no longer have the energy I used to have.

Years of military life have left him with many old diseases, which will begin to ache faintly whenever the weather changes or when he is alone.

Along with the old illness, there are also those lingering memories buried deep in the depths of memory.

He even had some doubts about whether he was really old.

Only the elderly will often reminisce about the past, reminiscing about those lost years of youth.

But he can't get old yet, he doesn't want to be old yet.

He still has so much to do.

He also has to lead the iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, the desert grassland in the north, and sweep away the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty who have been eyeing each other.

He also wants to lead the people of the world to establish a rich and prosperous heavenly kingdom, attract all nations to worship, and become a legend that will be passed down forever.

He still has too many wishes that have not been fulfilled, these things that his father has not done, those so-called Ming monarchs and saints of all dynasties have not done, but they all dream of realizing them, beautiful dreams.

And, of course, the dream he's been hiding in his heart since he was a child.

Zhu Di was born in Jinling City, Nanjing, and his father named it Yingtianfu at that time, which means to obey the mandate of heaven and overthrow the Yuan Dynasty.

When he was born, his father was fighting a fierce battle with Chen Youliang, so when he was born in this world, his father hurriedly returned to the front line to command the battle because of the urgent military situation, and he didn't even have time to take a look at this newborn son.

So Zhu Di's childhood actually rarely saw his father, until he was seven years old, it was the end of the year, his father was ready to ascend the throne in the New Year, so he gathered their seven brothers together, sacrificed to the Taimiao, and officially named the seven brothers.

At the age of seven, Zhu Di and his brothers had their real name.

Since he was a child, Zhu Di has been willful and wild, lively and active, which is very different from the character of his eldest brother Zhu Biao, who later won the favor of his father.

When his father was not in Beijing, he often ran around alone in the palace.

Once, he stumbled into a room full of yellowed books and many ancient bamboo and wood tablets.

This room is very remote, usually no one goes to it at all, and there is no one in the room, so the curious Zhu Di looked at the books on the table.

then

He didn't know what it was, and it wasn't until years later that he learned the title of the book, which was called "Push-Back Pictures".

There were pictures and words in the book, but unfortunately it was so profound that he couldn't understand it at all.

There is also a thick notebook on the side, full of explanations and analyses of this book, from this, Zhu Di gradually saw a story, a story that fascinated him, a story about a treasure handed down from ancient times that should not exist in this world.

Zhu Di was fascinated by reading at the time, but at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps and someone came.

Zhu Di hid.

He didn't know who this Confucian was, and naturally he would never have imagined that many years later, he would often meet this Confucian in a dark secret room in the palace.

It's just that this Confucian has become old at this time, and his whole body is chained, and he also pierces the pipa bone with a pair of large iron rings.

At that time, the Confucian student walked into the room and began to concentrate on reading and studying.

He was so focused that he didn't even notice that Zhu Di had sneaked away.

Since then, the story in that book has been firmly engraved in Zhu Di's heart.

Later, he quietly went to that room several times, but the room had been emptied, leaving not a single book, not a page, and never seeing the Confucian again.

However, the book and the story have always fascinated Zhu Di, and he began to do everything he could to find everything about the book, everything about the story, and after many years, he finally knew the name of the book and the story behind it.

It's just that at that time, my father not only had strict monitoring of the civil and military officials, but even the words and deeds of their princes.

Zhu Di's behavior soon reached his father's ears, and he was extremely angry, severely reprimanded Zhu Di, asked him where he learned these stories, and even made a move.

Zhu Di gritted his teeth, but he insisted that he was out of curiosity, and never said a word about the books and the Confucian student in the mysterious room back then.

My father had no choice but to send Zhu Di back to his hometown in Fengyang to live, and sent someone to strictly guard him, and he had to be very careful in everything he said and did.

That year, Zhu Di was seventeen years old.

A few years later, it was about his father's suspicion that gradually faded, and Zhu Di was finally named the king of Yan, because he was good at martial arts since he was a child, and he was skilled in bows and horses, and was assigned to go to Beiping to defend against the remnants of the Northern Yuan forces in the north.

From the thirteenth year of Hongwu to Beiping, until his father died of illness and his nephew Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, Zhu Di stayed in Beiping for 20 years.

In the past 20 years, he has personally experienced countless battles large and small, defeated the remnants of the Northern Yuan in the north and fled, and gradually established supreme prestige in the army.

Beiping, from a small feudal town, became the most powerful military and economic feudal state in the country at that time.

However, in the past 20 years, he has never forgotten or given up on the book, the story, and the treasure that haunted him.

He used all kinds of methods to explore the book and the secrets hidden behind it, and the more he knew, the more he felt the immense depth of the ocean hidden behind it.

Until he had his true strength, he waited for a heaven-sent opportunity, so he set up a huge plan.

No one knows the whole picture of his plan, even these people in his plan are all the same, they are just a chess piece in his huge chess game, and Zhu Di himself is the one who really controls the direction of the chess game.

It's just that this chess game is not only about success or failure, but also about the future of the world, and an incomparably brilliant future!

This chess game is very big, so big that Zhu Di has to be patient, waiting quietly, waiting for all the seeds he has planted

A day that can ripen and fall.

The wait is long, a lot of things happened in the middle of this wait, his brothers died one by one, even the eldest brother Zhu Biao died unexpectedly, but his father set up the eldest brother's son, nephew Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson, to inherit the throne.

Then his father also died, but his nephew, who had just ascended the throne, couldn't wait to make a move on him, the uncle Wang.

After that, it was Zhu Di who won, and his nephew suddenly disappeared, so he became the emperor in a grand manner, sat on the throne, and became the master of the world.

And yet his plan, his chess game continued.

Just like this time, no matter what happens, it will pass without wavering, and his plan will continue without fail.

No one can stop his plans now, just as no one can stop the passage of time.

He finally waited for this day, and finally waited for this day of the seven stars.

Zhu Di's thoughts slowly drifted back from his memories, he sighed faintly, and said: "You should understand that this time the stakes are very high, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes, and all the years of hard work are for this moment, which can only succeed and not fail." ”

The man kneeling on the ground said: "Wei Chen understands that Wei Chen's son has been by his side for so many years, and the yin and yang arithmetic techniques that Wei Chen taught him since he was a child are all for today's use. ”

Zhu Di nodded, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "I naturally trust you as a great talent. ”

The people on the ground raised their heads and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely not dare to disappoint the Holy Hope!"

He raised his head and revealed his face, this person was the number one talent in the world who had been deposed to Huazhou before, the former first auxiliary minister, and the university scholar Xie Jin!

Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin and asked, "The matter of the Seven Stars Alignment, Ling Gongzi already knows?"

Xie Jin replied respectfully: "Wechen has already asked someone to quietly notify him by letter, and I expect that at the critical moment, he will definitely live up to the trust." ”

Zhu Di nodded, and then asked with some concern: "I heard that the plague is spreading in Xi'an City at the moment, can they solve the trouble before the date and proceed as scheduled?"

Xie Jin paused, as if it was not easy to speculate on this matter.

But soon, he realized that he must not say a word about it, it was impossible to get around it.

He thought for a moment before he replied: "At this time, there are still ten days before the Seven Stars Alignment Period, with Ye Gongzi's cleverness, it is expected that he will be able to solve the problem in front of him before this." ”

"Besides," Xie Jin said with some meaning, "If you want to talk about trouble, when did they get less trouble along the way?"

"Ye Gongzi has a great life, and the emperor is blessed with great fortune, this time he must be able to survive safely. Please relax and wait for the good news. ”

Zhu Di nodded, turned around with satisfaction, put his hands behind his back again, and looked up at the stars in the night sky.

Blessing is great?

Hopefully this time it's really like that.

This time, Zhu Di really made a risky move.

But this is also a move that he has no choice but to take.

Without this step, I am afraid that it will be difficult to balance that person, and my plan may fail.

However, this dangerous move of oneself is also dangerous, and once you make a slight mistake, it may also lead to the situation getting out of control and is irreparable.

It's just that it's too late to say anything, the chess pieces have fallen, and it's too late to regret it.

Everything depends on the boy's own creation.

I hope that this time he will also be blessed with a great life and turn evil into good fortune.
