The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 48 Life Experience

Chapter 48 Life Experience (Seeking monthly ticket)

Shi Delong also has the surname Shi, and he has also learned the Lightning Thunder Fist. Needless to say, he must be the ancestor of Maoshan's senior brother Shi Jian.

Li Jingxiao nodded in agreement, and then wondered who the group of people in the valley were.
But if you think about it carefully, it's actually easy to guess.

One of the groups must be the former prince who rebelled, but Li Jingxiao couldn't guess who the other group was.

However, since Shi Delong and the other two said that the weapons and other things left in the cave should be related to Mr. Huang Er's disciples.

Maybe it will involve the forces of foreign ethnic groups outside the Great Wall.

There is nothing much to say about colluding with foreign races, and death is not a pity.

But these people are obsessed with rebellion, simply wanting to take back the country.

There must be some people among them who don’t want to destroy the Great Zhou.

At least I don't want to see people suffer.

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but look at Lu Erfu.

Erfu saluted awkwardly, "Sir, I did see someone riding a horse into the camp.

I was guarding the watchtower at the west gate of the garrison, and I saw that after the man entered the camp, he did not go to the tents where the generals lived, but instead went to the area where the officials lived.

It was quite far away and it was dark, so I couldn't see the man's face clearly.

Moreover, when the man entered the official's residence, there were too many tents and obstructions, so it was difficult to see who he was looking for.

After saying that, he simply knelt down, not daring to look Li Jingxiao in the eye.

Li Jingxiao felt much more relieved.

The scholar's rebellion failed in three years.

On the contrary, if the generals who lead and command the troops have ulterior motives, the destructive power will be even greater.

And it is possible that the former crown prince is involved. Whether it is the retired emperor or the emperor, they certainly do not want the royal scandal to be known to more people.

So Li Jingxiao made up his mind to push this matter out.

The next morning, the group rode back to Beijing.

Li Jingxiao took a few people to the palace.

Zhao Junming took other people and more than 20 horses to the Daoluo Division to wait for orders.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, Li Jingxiao handed over the bronze medal and was soon taken by two eunuchs to see the emperor.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he met the emperor and before he had time to report, an old eunuch in bullfighting clothes walked in with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the Holy Lord has learned that Lord Li has entered the palace and has specially ordered Your Majesty and Lord Li to go to the Daming Palace."

The emperor nodded expressionlessly. In fact, he had long guessed that his father would definitely inquire about matters involving the former crown prince.

Li Jingxiao could only follow.

However, when he fell behind by a few meters, he exchanged glances with Xia Shouzhong.

Xia Shouzhong shook his head slightly, then nodded at Dai Quan who was walking in front of him.

Li Jingxiao knew at a glance that although the emperor lived in the Daming Palace, there might be spies throughout the palace.

I secretly sighed that this emperor was really a coward.

However, Emperor Longde got the throne for free, and even if he endured a little humiliation, he still made a lot of money.
-
When he arrived at the Daming Palace and saw the retired emperor, Li Jingxiao was a little surprised.

Although the old emperor was over 60 and his hair was a little gray, he looked surprisingly good.

I thought to myself, no wonder the Jia family was ransacked more than a decade later, and the book didn't mention that the emperor had died.

This old guy is really alive.

There are not many emperors who live to be seventy or eighty years old.

Including the Qing Dynasty, there were 83 dynasties and a total of 559 emperors, with an average age of only 39 years.

Five of them lived over 80 years old, and six lived over 70 years old.

Among the unified dynasties, only five lasted for 70 or 80 years or more.

After the Emperor and Li Jingxiao paid their respects to the Retired Emperor, the latter's tone towards Li Jingxiao was quite cordial. The relationship between the Emperor and the Retired Emperor seemed quite harmonious; at least the relationship between father and son had not yet reached the point of tension.

It’s normal to think about it, Li Shimin seized power through a military coup.

He killed his brothers and several of his nephews, and forcibly forced his father to step down.

Emperor Longde was not outstanding among the princes at first, and he himself did not expect that the throne would eventually belong to him.

After becoming emperor by chance, he was naturally at a disadvantage to the emperor emeritus.

No matter how stupid one is, he won't be so anxious to seize power.

Instead, he worked hard and diligently to handle state affairs.

However, it is hard to say whether Emperor Longde hated the retired emperor, but he must have hated those ministers who helped the retired emperor to gain power.

It was actually quite difficult for the ministers. When the retired emperor was still alive, they stood on his side, not only because of the long-standing friendship between the monarch and his subjects, but also to fulfill the duty of loyalty between the monarch and his subjects.

Moreover, the retired emperor was seriously ill before and almost died. Normally, he would not have lived for many more years.

Waiting for the old emperor to die and then swearing loyalty to the emperor, although they might not be reused, this idea is definitely the first choice of most ministers.

But no one expected that the emperor could live that long.

It is not a good thing to have two suns hanging in the sky.

When Li Jingxiao thought of this, he immediately revised the draft he had prepared in his mind.

If what Liu Hongshi said is true, and if the evil spirit appears in the imperial mausoleum, the Great Zhou will not be able to prosper, it means there are traitors in the court.

Damn, aren’t they just talking about the old ministers of the retired emperor?
It even hinted that if the emperor abdicated but refused to give up power, he would be courting death.

The retired emperor was not in a hurry to ask about the imperial mausoleum case, but instead began to inquire about Li Jingxiao's background, age, academic performance, martial arts skills and other trivial matters.

Just listening to it makes people feel that the old emperor values ​​you very much.

Li Jingxiao felt a little impatient. He had seen this kind of rhetoric many times on the Internet in his previous life and knew that it was just a means to win people over.

However, being won over by the old emperor is also a manifestation of one's value. Only when we all have something to gain from each other can it benefit both of us.

So Li Jingxiao answered very politely.

Fortunately, this body has a clean background and has been raised in Zhenwu Temple since childhood, so there is nothing to investigate.

Li Jingxiao believed that the old emperor and the emperor must have sent people to investigate him thoroughly.

What Li Jingxiao didn't expect was that when he said that he was an orphan, taken in by his master, and grew up in Zhenwu Temple.

But the Emperor suddenly interrupted, "Lord Li, you still have relatives alive."

Li Jingxiao was stunned. What did this mean?
Threaten yourself with your relatives?
The emperor, who was sitting not far from the retired emperor, also looked at his father in surprise.

But then he felt happy again.

When you have family around, you are not alone and you can do things recklessly.

Then the Emperor said, "You are the posthumous son of the eldest wife of the second wife of the Li family in Jiangzhou.

18 years ago, the first branch of your Li family fell into poverty. Although the second branch was granted the title of Xing'an Earl when the country was founded, after several generations, the second branch also fell into poverty.

Your father Li Huaiyi was ambitious back then. After joining the army, he went to southern Xinjiang with the army.

I remember that your father was on the list of meritorious soldiers submitted by the Ministry of War.

It is said that he captured eleven heads and was promoted to a centurion for his merits.

He just didn't want his 50,000-strong army to invade Siam, only to suffer losses of more than half due to acclimatization.

It was at that time that your father died of illness in Siam.

Your grandmother died early, and your grandfather fell seriously ill due to grief and passed away within a month.

But unexpectedly, half a year later, a woman came to the Li family's second branch, the Xing'an Earl's Mansion, with a young child in her arms."
