Chapter 1284 Various Forms
On the other side, Lin Yi was also very excited at this moment.
Speaking of military power, now that the Yingtian Army has unified the Southern Wilderness, his military power is actually nothing in front of all kinds of talented generals. He was originally just a small soldier, but he followed Zhao Cheng, and his status has risen steadily.
After all, if he had extraordinary talent, he would not have been just a small soldier when he met Zhao Cheng.
But now, he is still the head of the military officers, especially the military officers of the Lianshan system, who are closely gathered around him.
And he also knows that his own ability is limited, so he knows how to use people. At the same time, the training during this period has also greatly trained his ability, making his position very stable.
Of course, he also knows that the most important thing for him is loyalty, which is his greatest reliance.
At this moment, he looks back at the past, but it seems like a dream.
A few years ago, he was still a commoner. Because he was too poor, he had to join the Huangtian Army just to have a meal.
But now, he is second only to one person, above ten thousand people, with high power and unlimited honors.
The former peasant is now a titled general.
He vaguely remembered that when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he took a look at the daughter of the landlord's family and was beaten by his father, saying that noble people were not for them to look at.
And now? !
He has killed countless powerful people, including famous scholars, and as for the landlords, they are just grass.
The taste of power is intoxicating.
No wonder so many people in ancient and modern times want to be made marquises and prime ministers.
If the generals rule the world in the future, I think I can also be made dukes and marquises...
Lin Yi's mind was full of various thoughts, and he couldn't calm down at all.
He couldn't help but think of Wang Shouzheng, this "old friend" and former boss in the past. In fact, no matter in ability or other aspects, he was better than him. If he was in Lianshan at that time, the other party knew the current situation and knew how to advance and retreat. Now his position might belong to the other party.
But now, because he was unwilling to accept it, even though he was an old member of Lianshan, he was still not taken seriously. Some time ago, he supervised the repair of the Temple of Heaven, but he was just a supervisor. Compared with himself, he was already a world apart.
Lin Yi could even foresee that as time went by, the gap between him and the other party would become larger and larger.
In the future, he would definitely leave a strong and colorful mark in the history books, and Wang Shouzheng might only leave a name in the Lianshan section, and there would be no more traces.
In his wild thoughts, the sky gradually brightened.
At the first ray of dawn, the gate of Yingtian City opened, and the imperial carriage carried by sixteen people walked out of the city, surrounded by the ceremonial guards in front and behind.
Behind the imperial carriage, there were several sedan chairs, but they were only carried by eight people, which distinguished them from the imperial carriage carried by sixteen people.
As for the sedan chair at the back, it was Zhao Sheng, Zhao Xiang, and Zhang Huang'er.
Zhao Cheng and Zhang Huang'er had already made an engagement, but they had not yet consummated their marriage. As for Zhao Sheng and Zhao Xiang, Zhao Sheng was the father of this Taoist. According to the etiquette, if Zhao Cheng was crowned as a king, he would also be crowned as a king. As for Zhao Xiang, she would naturally be crowned as a princess.
If Zhao Cheng ascended the throne and became an emperor in the future, he would have to crown Zhao Sheng as the emperor.
At this moment, both Zhao Sheng and Zhao Xiang looked confused. Zhao Sheng was just a blacksmith. There is a saying that there are scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. Industry is a lowly profession, even lower than agriculture. Farmers at least have their own land, while craftsmen only have craftsmanship.
A craftsman is naturally not comparable to the high and mighty prince. Zhao Sheng himself never dreamed that he would become a prince one day. He was afraid that he would not dare to dream of such a thing. He could dream of being rich and having no worries about food and clothing, which was already the limit of his dream.
Ordinary people in this era have only such a vision.
But when this incredible thing really happened, Zhao Sheng's only thought at this moment was that the two best things in the world are either being born well or having a good son.
When he was still in the mansion, he occasionally heard the servants in the mansion talking about the future emperor they were serving, saying that he had dragon energy and the items he carried with him could ward off evil spirits.
He naturally knew what the emperor was, that was the emperor's father.
Because he heard this, he didn't sleep well for many days.
On the other side, Zhao Xiang was sitting in Zhao Xiang's sedan chair, and she was also stupid. After a period of luxurious clothes and delicious food, she said goodbye to her dark appearance at the beginning, and also cultivated a little bit of the temperament of a young lady, but only a little bit, not much.
She was used to hard times, and now she suddenly became rich. Even though it has been more than two years, she still can't get used to it completely.
Even now, sometimes when she wakes up in the middle of the night and touches the precious quilt covering her body, she will doubt whether she is dreaming.
When she wakes up from the dream, she is still the black girl in the blacksmith shop. Her best brother has joined the army. She is afraid that one day, bad news will come from outside that her brother has died in the war.
At this moment, she is sitting in the sedan chair, feeling the slight bumps, and the dream-like feeling emerges again.
Princess, is she really going to be a princess? !
It wasn't just the servants who served Zhao Sheng who were secretly discussing, the servants who served her were also like this.
The general master naturally had no intention of eavesdropping on the servants' conversations, but since they were born in humble circumstances, they would always pay more attention no matter where they were.
Zhao Xiao heard that many servants were saying that her brother would soon become the emperor and rule the world, and she would be the eldest princess by then, and they, the servants, would be able to follow her and ascend to heaven in one step.
And that was the emperor!
She actually still clearly remembered that she was still very young at that time, and her family was fleeing famine. Her mother gave the last rations to herself and Zhao Cheng to eat, which allowed the two of them to survive, but she starved to death.
Zhao Cheng and Zhao Sheng both thought that she was very young at the time and didn't remember the things, but in fact she remembered.
Thinking in her heart, she took out a small piece of coarse cloth from her bosom, and inside the cloth was a piece of white soil. This was Guanyin soil. She remembered that her mother ate this during the most difficult times. At that time, she was ignorant and took a small piece to play with, treating it as a treasure and hiding it in her pocket.
The emperor's mother could actually die of starvation. Thinking about it, her eyes couldn't help but redden.
And just at this moment, the sedan chair suddenly stopped.
Then, the curtain of the sedan chair was also lifted. Zhao Xiang looked closely and found that it was Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng entered wearing gorgeous clothes and a crown. His every move showed a majestic demeanor, which was more and more uncommon.
"Let's go up together!"
Zhao Cheng said, and stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Xiang onto his own carriage.
"Back then, Da Cang was unjust. During the heyday, the country imposed heavy taxes. When it encountered natural disasters, it was unable to provide relief, so people ate each other in the years of disasters. My mother also starved to death in that natural disaster."
"This is a deep hatred that cannot be resolved."
"Although I did not have the intention of revenge at that time, the seeds of hatred had been planted."
"Now, I am doing something big, one for revenge, and the other to prevent the old things from happening again."
On the imperial carriage, Zhao Cheng said slowly, and his gentle voice gradually calmed Zhao Xiang down.
"If the heaven is unjust, then change it. Let the sun and the moon change the sky. This is the cycle of nature and the righteous way of heaven."
"Our country was obtained in a proper way. Every inch of land and every inch of blood did not come out of thin air. Your honor is also natural. Don't think too much about it."
"As for mother, if I found a country, I will posthumously confer titles on four generations of ancestors, including mother. Then her status will be certain. Even if her soul has been scattered, she can be reunited in the country of Taoism. We will meet again in the future."
Zhao Xiang listened to Zhao Cheng's voice and turned his head subconsciously, but he only saw Zhao Cheng's profile. In a trance, the young man in front of him, who looked like a beautiful jade, overlapped with the dark and thin boy in the past.
