I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 519 Say hello

After all, Prince Wanli could not enter Haozhou City.

He originally wanted to attack the city by force.

Even at this moment, the prince is still confident in himself.

The little Haozhou can be destroyed with one blow.

but……

High arch objected.

Chen Yiqin objected.

Even Zhang Juzheng rarely raised objections.

"Your Highness, if we forcefully attack the city, the ten thousand soldiers who have finally gathered together will probably scatter like birds and beasts immediately."

"The morale of the army has been lost. We must not fight!"

"If we bypass Haozhou and return to the capital, and gather the fleeing soldiers along the way, and bring the army back for His Majesty, we can at least make up for our mistakes."

"Prince, please think again!"

Zhang Juzheng finally convinced Prince Wanli after much earnest talk.

"The entire army...return to Beijing!"

Wan Li almost squeezed out these words through his teeth.

Then, he led three cabinet ministers and more than 9,000 remaining defeated generals, bypassing Haozhou and heading north.

Wanli left.

Fan Li is here.

The gates of Haozhou City are wide open!

Zhang Daoling led a group of generals who captured the city and went out to meet Fan Lishengjia.

"Start your Majesty."

"All the officers and soldiers of Haozhou have fled, the government's inventory of grain, weapons and equipment are still there, and there are still 67,000 households in the city."

"I have posted a notice stating that I, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, will punish the guilty according to the decree of heaven, and will not harm the innocent, so as to calm the hearts of the people."

Fan Li nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear."

Zhang Daoling is indeed capable.

If he doesn't do this, Fan Li will immediately put up a notice to calm the people.

These are all basic operations to avoid post-war riots.

Of course, if the people of Haozhou are restless, they will really cause riots in the city.

So, Fan Li has a notice to calm the people, and he also has a butcher knife to kill him.

"Preach my will."

"Calling all the people of Haozhou, including gentry, workers, farmers, and merchants, to gather at the Minghuang Ancestral Temple."

"I want to talk to Ming Taizu... for a while."

Minghuang Ancestral Temple.

Since Taizu of the Ming Dynasty ascended to the throne, later emperors of the Ming Dynasty built this temple for him to worship Taizu and enjoy the incense in the world.

Although it may not be useful, it is still a precaution.

When Fan Li came to the ancestral temple, he saw a statue of a magnificent emperor on the main throne of the main hall.

The appearance of this statue is majestic, majestic and extraordinary.

Although it was a clay sculpture made by future generations to pay homage to their ancestors, it still had a hint of imperial style, and Fan Li couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

The founder of the country should have such an image!
only……

Fan Li shifted his gaze to the right and saw a vulgar statue with bright colors and full of wealth and splendor. It was also worn by an emperor.

Who is this?
Actually sharing incense with Ming Taizu?

Fan Li stepped forward and saw a line of writing on the base of the statue.

"Knowing the Way of the Heavenly Guard, Hong Deyuan, Ren Kuan, Mu Chunsheng, Gong Jian, Jian Jingwen Emperor?"

What the hell?
Upon closer inspection of this long and complicated posthumous title, apart from the strong praise, not even a single word in the nearly twenty words can reflect his achievements during his lifetime.

If we really want to draw the key point, the word "Xian" is quite worthy of consideration.

Ming Dynasty did not surrender the country, so how could it use this word?
Moreover, Emperor Xian is worthy of sharing the incense with Taizu?

"Depend on!"

"So it's him?"

Even though Fan Li had learned a lot and was rich, it took him a long time to think of such a 'famous' emperor.

His name is Zhu Youqi.

The temple name was Ruizhong, and the posthumous title was "Emperor Gong Mu Xian", which was later changed to "Emperor Gong Rui Yuan Ren Kuan Mu Chunsheng Xian".

However, Emperor Jiajing still felt that this was not enough and continued to pursue posthumous titles, finally creating the only one in the history of the Ming Dynasty who had only a name for himself [Emperor Zhitian Shou Dao Hong Deyuan Ren Kuan Mu Chunsheng Gong Jian Jing Jingwen].

Yes.

He has neither civil knowledge nor martial arts.

But to say that he is mediocre and a foolish king would be an injustice to him.

Because this king had never been emperor for even half a day during his lifetime.

He is an emperor who pursues honor because he has a son who is an emperor.

The current emperor of the Ming Dynasty is known as the number one person in the world. He is the most powerful ninth-level emperor in thousands of years. He once destroyed the country, slaughtered immortals and destroyed the pure land. Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty... is his biological son.

This kind of practice of honoring one's own father as an emperor has indeed happened throughout the ages, and Emperor Jiajing was not the first. However, letting my biological father compete with Taizu for incense is something that no one has ever done before.

"Somebody come!"

Recognizing the identity of the clay sculpture, Fan Li rolled his eyes in frustration.

He pointed at the clay sculpture of Emperor Xingxian and said angrily: "Take it out!"

Several stout soldiers immediately took orders and carried the clay sculpture dedicated to the emperor out of the ancestral temple.

They were quite polite and did not smash the clay sculptures, but just discarded them in an inconspicuous corner outside the ancestral temple.

"call……"

Fan Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Jiajing's excessive praise for his biological father made even an outsider feel depressed.

The ministers of the Jiajing Dynasty had really been wronged. They had endured it for so many years, but Fan Li would have rebelled long ago.

At this time, outside the ancestral temple, the people of Haozhou had already responded to the call.

They now also knew Fan Li's identity, and they all looked frightened and at a loss.

"Have you heard? The Jin Emperor who captured Haozhou turned out to be a famous powerful traitor in the Chu Kingdom!"

"He's so powerful! He's trying to support the emperor of Chu State, and he's still founding a country and proclaiming himself emperor outside!"

"This guy has a bad reputation. He is a very evil person."

"real?!"

"Is that still false? I heard that the Emperor of Chu often couldn't sleep at night because he was afraid of him. He was even forced to wear women's clothes during the day. How shameful and humiliating is this?"

"Ah? How come I heard that Emperor Chu is a woman?"

"Fart! What do you know? I also heard that this Jin Emperor not only likes to force the emperor to wear women's clothes, he also eats people!"

"Oh my God! He eats people?!"

Haozhou is the place where Ming Taizu Longxing lived, but it is also a remote place with little information.

The people gathered together. Although they were frightened, their nature was hard to change and they liked to chat.

They whisper, even if they can't hide it from the ears of the practitioners?

Even Zhang Daoling, whose cultivation was sealed, vaguely heard rumors that Fan Li could eat people.

"Your Majesty, they..." Zhang Daoling couldn't laugh or cry.

"It doesn't matter."

Fan Li shook his head and didn't care.

He had just finished writing a memorial ceremony and placed three sticks of incense on the statue of Ming Taizu.

Fan Li opened his mouth and recited the sacrificial rites.

His voice echoed inside and outside the ancestral temple, as if from far to near, and also seemed to be whispering softly in the ears, and the common people could hear it.

"Emperor Fan Li of the Jin Dynasty pays homage to Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty."

"The Emperor of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu, was born in commoners. He was smart and martial, and had the ambition to help the world and bring peace to the people. He became an emperor in fifteen years, and his legacy has been passed down for thousands of years. This has never happened before in the history of the world."

The people of Haozhou heard it clearly, but their eyes instantly became wet.

The emperor of an enemy country actually praised me, the Ming Emperor?
The people of Haozhou are different from other places in the Ming Dynasty. They have lived here for generations, are close to Taizu, and are deeply proud of Taizu's wisdom.

If Fan Li cursed Ming Taizu in his memorial service, even if the local people did not dare to cause trouble, they would still hate Fan Li deeply in their hearts.

However, his respect for Ming Taizu is another matter entirely.

Heroes cherish heroes!
Fan Li's image instantly grew in the hearts of the people in Haozhou.

Emperor Jin was also a figure!

The people thought so.

But then, Fan Li changed the topic.

"Of course, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was cunning and manipulative."

"Driving the ministers like oxen and horses, exploiting the people without restraint. He even disobeyed the destiny and killed the angels!"

"All these things are too numerous to write down. How can the Ming Dynasty last long?"

Rumble!
The sky above the Ming Taizu Temple was originally clear, but suddenly there was thunder and lightning, as if God was angry!
When the people in Haozhou City heard the thunder, they all looked up at the sky.

strangeness.

There was constant thunder, but the sky remained cloudless.

Wrath of God?
It’s really the wrath of God!
"No way?"

Some people screamed.

"My Majesty the Ming Dynasty has so many sins. Is Emperor Jin complaining to Taizu?"

"Is God angry? Or is Grandpa Taizu from the immortal world angry?"

"Emperor Jiajing killed the angel?"

"How could he do this!"

"How can the country of Ming Dynasty be called for a long time?!"

Fan Li listened to the people screaming and panicking outside the ancestral temple, but he remained unmoved.

His eyes were fixed on the clay sculpture of Ming Taizu.

Can you hear me clearly?

It’s not that I, Fan Li, want to destroy your Ming Dynasty. In fact, he should be destroyed during the Jiajing Dynasty!
Hello said.

When I destroy the light, you are not allowed to protect me from the lower world!
Sorry, I'm really in poor health. I slept all day and barely managed to write. In a few days, my family will come to pick me up, and I will go back to my parents to eat and drink and recuperate.
