Chapter 556 - 57

439  Chen Jie looked at Monk Peng and said, "Master, excuse me, you didn't come to Mianshui just to see me, did you?"

  Monk Peng said, "No."

  Um?!

  Chen Jie was stunned. This is so real. I knew that a great master like you would not travel thousands of miles just to find me.

  But this monk Peng is really honest. He couldn't just lie to me and say he came to see me. How could I know if it was true or not? And after I heard it, I was so grateful. You are so honest. You make it very difficult for me to do what I want.

  Chen Jie thought about it, but soon he was relieved. For someone who is the sixth best in the world, it is already a great honor for him to deliver a letter to you. What else do you want?

  Thinking of this, the ridiculous idea in Chen Jie's mind disappeared.

  Chen Jie looked at Monk Peng and asked, "Master, what brings you to Mianshui?"

  Monk Peng took a sip of wine and said, "The Medicine King's treasure!"

  "ah?"

  Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, and looked at Monk Peng and said, "Master, you, you are also going to look for the Medicine King's treasure?"

  Monk Peng said, "Really?"

  Chen Jie asked: "This, are there any herbs that Master needs in the Medicine King's treasure?"

  "No."

  Monk Peng shook his head and Chen Jie asked, "What about you, Master?"

  Monk Peng burped and said, "I'm going to look for a medicine. I heard from Han that there is one here."

  "Han girl?"

  Chen Jie looked at Monk Peng, who said, "Han Miaozhen."

  Uh, okay, you are a Zoroastrian, so there is nothing wrong with calling him the Dharma King. I am just narrow-minded.

  Chen Jie thought about this and asked curiously, "Master, what medicine are you looking for?"

  Peng Yingyu thought about it after hearing this and said, "Enlightenment Pill!"

  "Kaiwu Pill?"

  Chen Jie looked confused. What kind of medicine is this enlightenment pill?

  Peng Yingyu said: "Yes, Enlightenment Pills. Han girl said there are Enlightenment Pills in the Medicine King's treasure, so I came to see if I can find Enlightenment Pills."

  Chen Jie asked: "What kind of medicine is this?"

  Peng Yingyu said: "It's a medicine that makes people smarter."

  Chen Jie frowned when he heard this and said, "Take a fool and turn him into a normal person?"

  Peng Yingyu didn't answer, but it showed that Chen Jie's guess was correct. Chen Jie thought about it and looked at Peng Yingyu and said, "Master, what do you want this medicine for?"

  Peng Yingyu said: "To create an emperor."

  puff...

  Chen Jie originally wanted to take a sip of wine, but he didn't expect that after hearing these words, he spit out a mouthful of wine. "Creating an emperor", what a niche word, Chen Jie had never heard of it before.

  But suddenly a light bulb went off in his head.

  Yuan Sanjia, who was the third best in the world at that time, once told him that Monk Peng seemed to be preparing to reshape the world.

  However, he seemed to be taking a different path from Yuan Sanjia. Yuan Sanjia was trying to guess the secrets of heaven and look for the man of destiny.

  Then he found three people: himself, the beggar Zhu Chongba, and the contraband salt seller Zhang Jiusi.

  And this monk Peng, using some unknown method, selected a person who he thought should be the emperor.

  But is this guy a fool?

  Chen Jie thought about it and looked at Monk Peng. Monk Peng asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

  Chen Jie said: "I am astonished by the heavens. Master, how do you create an emperor?"

  Monk Peng smiled and said, "Thirty years ago, I met a couple who were both carrying the Zi Wei Dou Shu. I speculated that their son would have the appearance of an emperor with the Zi Wei destiny."

  "Unfortunately, at that time, the Zoroastrians wanted to overthrow the imperial court and become emperor themselves."

  "I don't think a Zoroastrian can be an emperor. Old Han and Fu Tong are too naive. If you want to govern the world well, you can't just rely on military force. You need talent and scholars."

  "I want to use the power of Zoroastrianism to support a true ruler for the world, but Old Han disagrees. He insists on becoming the emperor."

  "We had an argument, and then I left Zoroastrianism. A few years ago, I ran into the couple again by chance, and I remembered the person who once had the Purple Star Fate."

  "I met their son. He was born with a noble appearance and a Purple Star destiny. He is truly the emperor. Unfortunately, he had a high fever when he was a child, which damaged his brain."

  "I can only think of a way to treat his brain, and after searching for a long time, I found a kind of elixir recorded in the Medicine King's inheritance in Changchun Valley back then, called the Enlightenment Pill."

  "It can improve intelligence and enlighten people, so I came here."

  Monk Peng expressed his thoughts, and Chen Jie was also moved after listening. It was amazing that Yaowang Valley had such a wonderful elixir. It was amazing, amazing.

  However, Chen Jie was also somewhat curious, so he looked at Monk Peng and asked, "Master, who is this person that you value so much that you must support him to be emperor? What is his name?"

  Peng Yingyu said: "My surname is Xu and my name is Zhenyi. My family has been engaged in the cloth business for generations."

  "Xu Zhenyi?"

  Chen Jie was stunned. How come the name was different from the person he remembered? But the surname did match.

  Chen Jie was wondering, and Monk Peng said, "Oh, by the way, I later changed his name to Shouhui, which is in line with Zi Wei Dou Shu."

  "Xu Shouhui!"

  Chen Jie muttered the name with an indescribable expression on his face. It matched, it matched completely. Yes, it was Xu Shouhui!

  Emperor of the Tianwan Empire.

  Chen Jie was familiar with the strength of the late Yuan Dynasty. Since he might be Chen Youliang, how could Xu Shouhui be missing?

  Xu Shouhui was a cloth merchant from Hubei. He later founded a country with the help of Peng Yingyu and named it Tianwan.

  Why was it called Tianwan? Because the dynasty they wanted to overthrow was called the Yuan Dynasty, and Xu Shouhui hoped that his regime could suppress the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, the character "Da" was added with a horizontal line to represent "Tian", and the character "Yuan" was added with a "Bao Gai" to represent "Wan", hence the name Tianwan Empire.

  If Han Ling'er is the leader of the Northern Red Turban Army, then Xu Shouhui is the successor of the Southern Red Turban Army.

  Xu Shouhui also had two generals under his command, who served as prime ministers successively. One was Ni Wenjun and the other was named Chen Youliang.

  That's right, it's Chen Jiusi.

  Chen Jie was thinking about the historical records in his mind. Although this history may not be correct in the parallel time and space of Daqian, it still has certain reference value.

  And what is more valuable for reference is.

  In the end, Xu Shouhui was killed by Chen Youliang. Because of this, Chen Youliang was criticized all his life. Even in the final battle with Zhu Yuanzhang, he lost because he was once labeled as a regicide.

  From then on, he was infamous for all eternity and was despised by the people at that time, which even led many people to abandon Chen Youliang and defect to Zhu Yuanzhang.

  The most famous among them is Fu Youde.

  Chen Jie recalled that historical record, which only recorded that Ni Wenjun first rebelled against Xu Shouhui, but was found out by Xu Shouhui, so he fled to Chen Youliang for refuge. However, Chen Youliang killed Ni Wenjun soon after, and found Xu Shouhui with Ni Wenjun's head.

  Xu Shouhui was overjoyed and rewarded Chen Youliang, appointing him as Prime Minister. Then Chen Youliang took away the power.

  In the end, Chen Youliang risked the world's condemnation and killed Xu Shouhui!

  He became a regicide who was despised by everyone in the world at that time.

  Later generations commented that Chen Youliang was very immature in politics. He just wanted to seize power and should not have killed Xu Shouhui. Otherwise, he would not have forced away Xu Shouhui's generals, such as Fu Youde and Ding Puluan.

  Chen Jie also felt that Chen Youliang was too unscrupulous. He was determined to become the emperor, and if he defeated Xu Shouhui, he could just imprison him for a while, then give him poisoned wine, or use other methods, and he could kill him quietly.

  There was no need to use such drastic measures to kill Xu Shouhui, and be branded as a regicide, leaving behind eternal infamy.

  As Chen Jie was thinking this, Monk Peng burped and said, "Jiu Si, you haven't read the letter your brother Ni wrote to you yet. After you finish reading it, we can talk later."

  After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately said, "Yes, I was chatting with the master and forgot to read the letter."

  Chen explained as he opened the letter and pulled out a piece of letter paper from it.

  [Nine Four Brothers]

  [After we parted at Mianshui, I always thought of you. Today, when I talked with Brother Peng, I couldn't help but think of you even more]

  [I don't know if my brother is doing well now. I am entangled in the secular world and cannot meet him. I feel very sad.]

  [However, Brother Peng is going to Mianshui, so I asked him to take this letter with him to express his longing for me.]

  [Also, Brother Peng is looking for talented people recently, and I immediately thought of you. I want to do something big with Brother Peng now, and I wonder if you are interested.]

  [If you are interested, you can come back with me, we can drink and chat happily together.]

  [If you have other ideas, you can trust Brother Peng. Brother Peng is a man of high moral character. If you have any difficulties, you can talk to him.]

  [I hope to meet you soon and have a drink with you. I still remember your promise to me. I will make you look at me with new eyes when we meet again.]

  [I don't know how far I've come…]

  [Brother: Ni Wenjun's handwriting! ]

  Chen Jie felt warm at heart when he read the contents of the letter. This Brother Ni was really a quick-witted man. In fact, Chen Jie also wanted to get together with him and have a drink with him.

  Monk Peng looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Jiusi, Ni Wenjun calls me Big Brother, and you call him Big Brother too, so I am your Big Brother, don't you have any objection?"

  Chen Jie said: "It is my blessing to have a brother like Brother Peng."

  Monk Peng said, "Okay, you have the same temperament as me, and you are not nagging. I like that."

  Monk Peng looked at Chen Jie and said, "So, are you willing to join my Maitreya sect? My Maitreya sect is in need of someone who can take charge."

  After hearing this, Chen Jie asked, "Master, who are you referring to as the manager?"

  Monk Peng said: "Jiu Si, you also know that my goal is to create an emperor. This person in charge can be the prime minister of the empire in the future, second only to the emperor and above ten thousand people!"

  Upon hearing this, Chen Jie had to say that what Peng Yingyu said was indeed very tempting. Second only to one person, above ten thousand people, who wouldn't be tempted!

  Moreover, this empire is full of masters. The leader of the Southern Red Turban Maitreya Sect, Monk Peng, is ranked sixth in the world. Only with such masters in charge can something be achieved. However, Chen Jie's current team is just a makeshift one, and their strength is only third-rate at best.

  Compared with the prime minister of this great empire, he is simply not worth mentioning. It can be said that Peng Yingyu was sincere.

  It was also a kind of trust in Ni Wenjun, but Chen Jie could not agree to it. Ever since he knew that the emperor was Xu Shouhui, Chen Jie did not want to agree to it.

  Chen Jie didn't know whether there was cause and effect in this world.

  However, Chen Jie was afraid that he would come into conflict with Xu Shouhui in the future. If he killed him, he would be charged with regicide.
