The first year of Hongwu (1368)
Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing. The name of the country was Ming Dynasty and the year was Hongwu. In the same year, the Northern Expedition Army broke through Dadu.
Emperor Yuan Shun fled north to the desert and ended the Mongol rule in the Central Plains. He recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Dark Cloud that had been lost for 400 years.
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Tang He and Liao Yongzhong to attack Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi to eliminate Chen Youding and He Zhen.
At this point, the Ming Dynasty world has just been pacified, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived.
……
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, looking mighty and extraordinary. He coldly swept his gaze down. Every courtier he saw was trembling in fear.
"The 30,000 cavalrymen of Northern Yuan attacked Beiping and surrounded it. Tell me, what should we do now?”Zhu Yuanzhang was full of energy.
The ministers looked at each other, but no one stepped forward to answer.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to flare up, someone suddenly stood out from the crowd and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, I'm willing to lead the army to defeat the remaining members of Northern Yuan.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said,
"Xu Da, how many soldiers do you think you need to lead to defeat the Yuan army?”
Xu Da frowned and pondered for a moment before saying,
"Give me 10,000 cavalrymen and I will definitely defeat the Yuan army!”
"Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said," The imperial edict has been drafted. Xu Da will be appointed as the General of the Northern Expedition. He will lead 10,000 cavalry to defeat the remnants of the Northern Yuan.”
"This subject receives the decree to thank you." Xu Da cupped his fists and received the decree.
……
At night, after Zhu Yuanzhang left the court, he brought Xiao Hu with him and went straight to the high-rise building facing the street in the Imperial City, the Stargazing Tower.
The Stargazing Tower was the tallest building in Nanjing, and it could even be said to be the tallest building in the Ming Dynasty. It was built after Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor and spent a lot of money.
The huge Stargazing Tower was very deserted.
Although this building was very tall, there was only one person living there.
Zhu Yuanzhang came to the Stargazing Tower. The area within a twenty-meter radius was strictly guarded and no one was allowed to approach.
Looking up at this ridiculously tall building, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart. Why didn't the state preceptor come out of the mountain?
I'm already the emperor. If Imperial Preceptor can come out of the mountain and help me govern Great Ming, how good would that be…
Feeling helpless, Zhu Yuanzhang told Erhu to wait here. He stepped into the Stargazing Tower and went up the stairs.
The roof of the Stargazing Tower was not a normal roof, but an octagonal platform, which matched the Eight Trigrams.
Hence, it was called the Eight Trigrams Stage.
At the edge of the Eight Trigrams Stage, a white-robed youth was crouching in front of a table. He held a wine cup in one hand and supported his head with the other. He looked drunk as he looked down at the capital.
Zhu Yuanzhang was tactful and did not disturb him. The state preceptor usually did not do anything serious. He liked to sit at the Eight Trigrams Stage, drink, and enjoy the scenery.
She didn't like to be disturbed.
He took a glass of wine, narrowed his eyes, and said that he was focusing on the human world.
"Chongba is here?" The white-robed youth laughed.
"State Preceptor!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, not minding that the other party called him Chongba.
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, no one could call him by his name except Empress Ma.
There were people who dared to call Zhu Zhongba, but they all went down to meet the King of Hell. As time passed, no one dared to call him that.
Now, the young man in front of him was naturally called Zhongba, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not unhappy at all. He seemed to be very happy that the other party called him that.
Zhu Yuanzhang walked over and stood at the edge of the Eight Trigrams. His posture was a little reserved, and this scene was even more unbelievable.
The decisive Zhu Yuanzhang was actually so reserved in front of others. No one would dare to believe it.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the young man and exclaimed in his heart.
He had known this white-robed young man since he was eighteen. Now, he was already middle-aged, but the other party still looked like a young man, and his appearance did not change. This really made Zhu Yuanzhang marvel.
"Why are you looking for me?" the young man said slowly.
He didn't stand up and bow. He only spoke in a very normal manner.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mind. He laughed and said,""Imperial Preceptor, thanks to your auspicious words, I have really become the emperor. I came here this time to ask Imperial Preceptor to come out of the mountain and help me govern Great Ming.”
The young man in white opened his eyes slightly and looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang. He nodded and said,"Sit down and talk!"
"Sigh, okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang sat down happily.
Lu Ya sighed." Oh, Chongba, how many times have you said this? Why are you so persistent? Why do you insist that I become your state preceptor?"”
Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed and said," State Preceptor, to be honest, from the day we met at Huangjue Temple, you've been silently supporting us all the way. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today, much less become the Emperor.”
After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a serious expression,
"I was able to go from a beggar monk to the current ruler of the country all thanks to the silent support of the state preceptor. This is a great kindness that I can never repay in a few lifetimes, so I really want to invite the state preceptor to come out of seclusion and share in the glory and wealth.”
"That's because you're a person with great luck. I'm just giving you a little advice.”Lu Ya said.
"No, Imperial Preceptor, without your Great Prophecy Spell, which can detect the heavenly secrets in advance and predict the future, I would never have become the emperor so easily.”Zhu Yuanzhang was stubborn.
Lu Ya sighed.'I already said I don't want to leave the mountain. Why are you so stubborn?'
The young man's name was Lu Ya, and he came from the 21st century.
Twenty years ago, he had traveled to the end of the Yuan Dynasty and met Zhu Zhongba, who was still begging as a monk.
After that, he used his Great Prophecy Technique to help Zhu Zhongba overcome all obstacles and eventually become the emperor, establishing the Great Ming Dynasty.
There was only one reason why he was unwilling to leave the mountain. That was that his golden finger was not in place yet.
Lu Ya stared at the blue light screen in front of him. There was a progress bar there. This damn progress bar had been loaded for twenty years, but it was still not loaded.
In the Ming Dynasty or the Hongwu period, without the system, you still want to go out and act?
Are you tired of living?
This was also the reason why Lu Ya had always been acting mysterious.
Lu Ya was still feeling emotional and was about to say something when the blue light screen in front of him suddenly flashed, followed by a mechanical voice,"System loading complete. Do you wish to activate?”
Lu Ya's heart shook.
F * ck, the golden thigh is finally here.
"Activate!"
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded in Lu Ya's mind. Then, Lu Ya's vision went black and he almost fainted.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly went forward to support Lu Ya and said worriedly,"State Preceptor, you drank too much again."
Lu Ya looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and was about to say something when a voice suddenly sounded in his mind,"
Mission: Agree to Zhu Yuanzhang's request.
Lu Ya's eyes widened and he spat out,"
"Chongba, I promise you that I will leave the mountain."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he said excitedly,"
"State Preceptor, are you serious?"
"Really!" Lu Ya nodded seriously.
"Good, hahaha, with Imperial Preceptor's help, my Great Ming will definitely prosper and the commoners will be able to live a good life.”
