Fighter of the Destiny

Now that I think about it, His Majesty is really an amazing person. He stepped in front of his destiny with a cold-blooded and powerful attitude. He did not accept the arrangement of fate, but began to decide the fate of others. He did not wait for Taizu to choice, but made the choice on behalf of Taizu. He killed everyone and left Taizu with only a son like himself. Then there is no need to discuss whether it is the imperial chair or the bloody rumor of changing fate against heaven. , if we look at the effects alone, both the Great Zhou Dynasty and the entire human world need this kind of extremely efficient decision. In Tianliang County back then, his cavalry had been dealt a terrible blow by the demon wolf cavalry many times. In Luoyang City, he was defeated miserably at the hands of his eldest brother, but overall, neither the Demon Lord nor his eldest brother were inferior to him. He was indeed the most powerful man in this era, so the world finally fell into his hands. , It’s not beyond my expectation. Of course, too many things happened in this process, and there is really no way for me to be happy for him.”

What happened next was still as expected. His Majesty began to govern diligently and carefully manage the country. The mainland gradually calmed down, and the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty became increasingly prosperous. His Majesty Taizu finally became impatient to deal with the card table and the beautiful maids anymore. He closed his eyes and returned home. Maybe because too much time has passed, His Majesty did not let me stay in the deep palace anymore, and asked me to teach at the Star Reaching Academy. I can read while teaching. I have no objection to this. It's very cool. I’m grateful, and I also know very well His Majesty’s true intention of asking me to go to the Star Reaching Academy. It seems that the day of the Northern Expedition to the Demon Clan is not far away.”

After that night in Baicao Garden, Your Majesty and I are no longer friends, but monarchs and ministers. Although there are many things I don't want to do, I am willing to participate in things like fighting against the demons. Your Majesty wants to wipe out the willows. The alliance was a disgrace. The monarch, ministers, soldiers and civilians all worked hard to make preparations for the Northern Expedition in just a few years. Your Majesty directly appointed me as deputy commander, which caused a lot of discussion in the court. Fatty Cheng was the most angry. Everyone was My acquaintances all think that I can only talk about military affairs on paper and have never actually led a military force. How can I be able to play such an important role?

I didn't give any explanation for this. I know very well that His Majesty asked me to be the deputy commander. In addition to using my preparations in the past few years in the Star Reaching Academy, he also wanted me to decide my own future path, or die fighting against the demons. On the battlefield, or drifting away from the battlefield, looking for her or looking for my elder brother... But I didn't, because the war with the demons is not a matter of one or two years. Since I have decided to do this, no matter whether I die Or leave, you need to do it after the human world is free from the threat of demons.

Fortunately, we won.

When he saw this part of the note, Chen Changsheng took a deep breath. Although he was concerned about the secret of changing his destiny against the will of heaven, he still couldn't help but feel excited when he read the autobiography of the famous general who fought against the demons. Wang Zhice's understatement Here, there are countless bloody storms, hardships and hardships.

Fortunately, mankind finally won.

After the victory, there will be a discussion of merit. His Majesty decided to build a Lingyan Pavilion and hang the portraits of those who have meritorious service. I know that my portrait will definitely be hung on it. It feels a bit weird because I always feel that , hanging portraits is very similar to a memorial hall, something that should be done after death.

When Chen Changsheng saw Wang Zhice's words, he subconsciously looked around. With the radiance of the night pearl, he looked at the dozens of portraits of heroes and famous generals. He had the same feeling in his heart. In the soft light, the people in the portraits were silent. Looking at him quietly made him feel a little cold.

After the Lingyan Pavilion was completed, Wu Daozi began to paint our portraits. Not long after, the eldest grandson died, Zheng Guogong died, Wei Guogong also died... The guys in these portraits hanging in the Lingyan Pavilion, slow down It was at this time that a saying began to spread among us old guys. It is said that in order to defeat the demons, His Majesty, like his father, joined forces with the Pope to sacrifice in the starry sky, and finally changed his mind against heaven. The fate is successful, and the sacrifices His Majesty offers to the starry sky are the souls of the twenty-four ministers and generals in Lingyan Pavilion.

On the sixth day after Du Ruyu was buried, it was a day of continuous autumn rain. Wu Daozi came out of the palace and came to see me secretly. The painting saint who was so high-spirited in Luoyang City now has white hair and eyes. Full of fear, he said to me, after he finishes painting the twenty-four of you, he will also die. I know that he has also heard the rumors that His Majesty changed his destiny against heaven, and he guessed something. I don’t know anything about it. I didn't say anything, and I tried to find a way to secretly send him out of Kyoto. It is said that he later went to Jialan Temple. The reason why I didn't say anything was because I didn't believe in changing one's fate against the will of heaven at all, including the fact that Emperor Taizu drank wine in the deep palace. I thought the drunken nodding and the words he said before he died were all lies made by an old man unwilling to be lonely, trying to regain his own authority and power, and thereby adding a lot of mystery to his life.

I really started to face the word fate head-on, and began to think about whether Emperor Taizu and His Majesty really used some secret method to sacrifice the stars and change their destiny against the heavens. It was a few months later. At that time, Qin Zhong was because of the old year's death. The injured patient was bedridden, and it was rare for me to go out to see him. It happened that Master Ji had received the order to treat him, and looking at Master Ji's expression, I finally confirmed that there was something wrong with this matter.

After seeing these words, Chen Changsheng's hand holding the note trembled slightly.

At this point, Wang Zhice's narrative finally began to touch on the core of the matter. What made him react so strongly was not this matter. There were too many legendary names mentioned in this notebook. For example, the eldest brother should be Zhou Dufu who defeated His Majesty Emperor Taizong in the battle of Luoyang. At this time, he unexpectedly His master's name appeared again.

When I write these words on paper, seventeen of the so-called twenty-four heroes in Lingyan Pavilion have died, or it will be my turn soon. Over the years, in accordance with His Majesty's wishes, I have never As he serves in the imperial court and only teaches in the Star Reaching Academy, it is difficult to find out something, so I have to ask Qin Zhong directly before he dies. I believe that even if His Majesty really sacrifices the lives of these loyal subordinates to the stars , he will not hide it like Qin Chong, and as expected, not only Qin Chong, but also Yu Gong and others know about this matter.

That night, I looked at Qin Zhong, who was countless times older than his real age. I was silent for a long time. I didn't understand why they could accept it so calmly since His Majesty had told them clearly in advance. He told me that Your Majesty treated me as a nobleman and saved me several times, so it was only natural for him to return this life to Your Majesty.

There are many people like Qin Chong and Yu Gong who are willing to sacrifice for His Majesty's royal dominance, but that doesn't include me. I don't want to.

You want your subject to die, but I don't want to die.

Your Majesty has been suspicious of me for many years, and I can't even express my loyalty to him.

Qin Chonglin was right what he said the night before he died. I have never corrected my position. I have never regarded His Majesty as my monarch. I was still the young scholar in Luoyang City who was greedy for sex and forgot the destination of his journey. I always thought that His Majesty was still the dashing young man that he was back then, and that he was still my friend.

The most important thing is that I can die for many things. Even when His Majesty's life is threatened, I am willing to sacrifice for him. In order to defeat the demons and to ensure that the country can live in peace for thousands of years, I am also willing to die. , In fact, I was about to die many times in the snowfield, but I was unwilling to die for such a thing.

Because I don't believe in such a thing.

I don't believe in changing one's fate against fate.

The great Zhou Dynasty was able to establish a country, Taizu was able to defeat Luoyang and Kyoto, and finally ascended the throne in front of the Tomb of Heavenly Books, not because he really sacrificed the lives of his disciples in the starry sky to light up his own imperial star, but because he was extremely Fortunately to have these outstanding sons, under some unspeakable pressure, these outstanding sons competed with each other, and they all burst out with dazzling brilliance in the remote Tianliang County and later on the mainland stage, especially the King of Qi. The best among them are forbearing, ruthless, and strong in looking at the overall situation. They are perfect. Without these sons, how could the Chen family in Tianliang County be where it is today?

As for the so-called luck, it is the random speculation of people who do not know the inside story. Taizu led 30,000 troops eastward from Qishan and conquered seventeen cities. The first three battles were the most brutal and dangerous, but he could To survive from a desperate situation, it was never luck, but the three thousand wolf cavalry borrowed by King Chu and King Qi from the demon clan. As for the final solution to the siege of Luoyang, what methods were used to hide it from the enemy? If I can hide it from all living beings in the world, how can I hide it from my close subordinates? My eldest brother went on a killing spree in Luoyang City that night. Others didn’t know about it, so how could I not know about it?”

The reason why humans can defeat the demons lies in the strength of the country, the wise king, preparation, collective efforts, alliance with the demon realm, and the dedication of all people. It also depends on the blizzard in the north for six consecutive years, and the civil strife of the demons. In order to suppress it, the demon king The rebellious tribe and the Wolf Cavalry suffered heavy injuries. What does this have to do with changing fate against the will of heaven? The twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion sacrificed themselves to the stars? There is indeed a problem with the cause of their death, but in my opinion, it is just His Majesty's imperial means. , I just want to live with you and die together...

On the last page of this notebook, Wang Zhice said this.

There is no road in the world. The road is just under our feet. It depends on how you walk and how you choose your position.

Positions are relative. If I regard you as a king, I am a minister. If I do not see a king, I am not a minister.

So, there is no destiny, only choice.

(There is actually an update at noon! If there are no accidents, there will be another chapter updated late at night! Then there should be only one chapter updated tomorrow! There are indeed no rules and no destiny in the world! The article is about roads and no destiny. Earlier, Chen Changsheng entered Lingyan Pavilion The sentence about stabbing a sword into a wall, these are all from Terminator 2. I believe most people have seen it, but if there are younger friends who haven’t seen it, I strongly recommend it. I insist that this is the best in Cameron. The movie after that was all bullshit.)
