Chapter 559: The Dead Are Like Sifu
Sixty years after the opening of the Han Dynasty.
Li Xiake, dressed in civilian clothes and wearing a soft hat, covered the blood on his forehead, and came to a restaurant in Hanjin City.
The box was already full of people, Long Chun, Lu Tianlin, Lian Yunxu, Zhou Shandong, Zhou Yuanqing, and Gong Baiyu were all among them, and when they saw Li Xiake entering the door, they all stood up and called Your Majesty softly.
"Okay, let's all sit down, this time let's just talk about the past, regardless of identity!"
Li Xiake glanced around, saw the appearance of everyone, and sighed: "It's all old!"
At this time, the handsome Long Chun was already 100 years old, even if he was a martial arts master, it was still difficult to resist the invasion of time at this time, his white hair was bleak, his forehead was wrinkled, although he was still strong, but after all, he had aged a lot.
Lu Tianlin next to him is a few years older than Long Chun, and he is even older, and his teeth are about to fall out, but fortunately, he is pampered, well-raised, and diligent in martial arts, but he is also healthy.
Both of them are like this, and Zhou Yuanqing's uncle Zhou Shandong is even more unbearable, this former feng shui master is now dazzled and deaf, and he is so old that he even has a crutch.
Only Gong Baiyu and Zhou Yuanqing have not changed their appearances, they are still the same as before, but their temples are slightly white, and there is a little more wind and frost.
These two people have been taught a lot by Li Xiake, and they have their own opportunities, and now they have long become the peerless masters of the Han Kingdom, a generation of martial arts masters, and they have a great reputation in the martial arts and the court.
"Your Majesty, that is, you and Lian seniors don't change their voices, and the rest of us are old!"
Long Chun sighed when he saw Li Xiake, and also sighed: "Decades have passed in a blink of an eye, and it feels like a big dream when you think about it!"
He got up and poured wine for Li Xiake, his palms were still steady and powerful, and he said with a smile: "Throughout the dynasties, there is no dynasty that can compare to our Han Empire, and there is no emperor who has the merits of His Majesty! Books are the same, cars are on the same track, weights and measures are unified, and even township chiefs and village chiefs have been set up in the countryside, compulsory education, and wide range of words, hehe, I never dreamed that our Han could reach this situation!"
Zhou Yuanqing echoed: "What Marshal Long said is! Since ancient times, in all dynasties, there has never been a dynasty as strong as our Han Dynasty, and there has never been an emperor as wise as Your Majesty!"
Gong Baiyu said with a smile: "Yes, now where the sun rises, is the land of the Han Dynasty, in our Han Dynasty, the sun never sets, this kind of territory, sixty years ago, I couldn't have imagined!"
Li Xiake laughed: "A good gathering of old friends, how did it become a sycophant?" Bai Yu, I heard that you are going to have a fight with Anto'er these days, is this true or false?"
Since the last time Gong Baiyu sent Huluoba back to Jinding Snow Mountain, he had already formed a bond with Huluoba's young apprentice Antoer, and then the two sides traveled and practiced, always contradicting each other, and finally had to resort to force, fighting each other, and winning and losing each other.
The two of them, one is the Jinding Snow Mountain in the Western Regions, and now they are the descendants of the gods and monks of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, the lord of the Snow Mountain, and the other is the descendant of the Central Plains Buddhism.
Now that both of them have reached the bottleneck of their cultivation, and the Buddhist conference once every ten years is about to begin, in order to make a breakthrough, the two agreed to have a duel on the conference.
Naturally, this matter could not be concealed from Li Xiake's ears and eyes, and after seeing Gong Baiyu today, he asked questions.
Gong Baiyu said with a smile: "I didn't expect the competition between the two of us to alarm Your Majesty. Anto'er is a peerless genius, profound Buddhism, and his spiritual secrets have been promoted to the extreme, and his martial arts cultivation is also earth-shattering...... Of course, it still can't be compared with my emperor, but in my opinion, it should be not inferior to his teacher Huluoba, or even surpassed!"
When he said this, great self-confidence surged on his body: "But that's it! Let's change the law in the Central Plains, Your Majesty collects the world's martial arts, establishes a martial arts hall, and explains the way of martial arts, I also often listen to the teachings, and I think that martial arts cultivation is not inferior to Antoer, and I will definitely win the battle tomorrow!"
Since Li Xiake ascended the throne, in addition to governing the country, his biggest hobby is to collect hundreds of martial arts, and he opened a martial arts hall to explain the way of cultivation for meritorious officers or martial arts masters, and at the same time write books and lectures to explain the basics of martial arts.
Gong Baiyu once traveled far and wide, assisted the Han Kingdom to carry out trade, spying on intelligence, killing the leader of the enemy army, and made a lot of meritorious contributions, so he was instructed by Li Xia Ke many times, and his cultivation was rising, and he had gone beyond the scope of ordinary martial arts masters and entered an extremely special realm, especially in the past ten years, he had conquered the world and had no enemies, so he cultivated a strong confidence.
"Regardless of the Western Regions and the Central Plains, it is the territory of my Han Dynasty, whether Anto'er is defeated, it is just right to start with him, clean up the grassland faith, and avoid more trouble. ”
Li Xiake's index finger tapped on the table, thought for a while, and said, "Let Brother Lian press the formation for you tomorrow, so as not to have any accidents." ”
Gong Baiyu smiled: "I can't ask for it, let Your Majesty bother!"
Everyone talked and laughed, talking about the past, as if in front of them, a meal down, the guests and hosts were happy, when they walked out of the restaurant together, Li Xiake walked forward with his hands, and said lightly: "On the second day of February of the next year, I will leave this world, if you have time, please give me a ride in Shouyang Mountain!"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and everyone's bodies were stiff.
Zhou Yuanqing exclaimed, "Your Majesty, are you leaving?"
Li Xiake said with a smile: "I have been the emperor for sixty years, and I should be regarded as the longest reigning one throughout the ages, and now that this big man is without me, there will be no big problem, I have done everything that should be done, why should I covet this red dust power?"
Zhou Yuanqing said: "Your Majesty, do you already know that the crown prince and the mother have already known that you will be so prosperous in this world, if you leave suddenly, I am afraid that there will be a big mess." ”
Li Xiake smiled dumbly: "There are still you and Marshal Long in this world, as long as you don't mess up, who dares to mess up?"
He walked towards the palace with his hands in his hands, and in a moment he had already walked away: "Prince, I have already informed you, you should also prepare in advance!"
Li Xiake didn't think about getting married and having children in this world at first, but when he became the founding emperor, the matter of marrying his own son was not his own business, but a big issue related to the safety of the world!
The unprecedented territory, unprecedented population, and unprecedented force of the Han Dynasty, if there is no good candidate to take over, and there is no prince to inherit, when Li Xiake is not there, God knows what will be the chaos.
Therefore, in the third year after Li Xiake ascended the throne, the courtiers collectively begged Li Xiake to get married, and at the same time begged him to choose the beauties of the world and summon them to the palace as concubines, give birth to a dragon son early, and set the prince and prince as early as possible, so as to calm the hearts of the people.
However, Li Xiake was reluctant to get married, and it was not until the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Han Empire that hundreds of ministers shook the ground with their heads in the Jinluan Palace, crying and begging Li Xiake to choose a concubine for the wedding, and Li Xiake agreed to choose a concubine to marry.
After getting married, a few boys and girls were born that year, and then when these children were in their twenties, Li Xia set up a prince, and now, the prince is already sixty years old, and even has a grandson, but he still can't wait for Li Xiake to abdicate, this child is desperate to wait, I feel that even if he dies, Li Xiake, the emperor, will sit well in the Jinluan Palace.
