Transmigration begins with archery training

Beside him were Sun Buqi, Ye Fengxiu, Rong Yanqiu, Deng Feng, Wang Li, and other elders from the Taizu era, as well as Qi Wang, the brother of Emperor Jianlong.

"Report!"

"A letter from the Eastern Continent!"

"read."

Lü Ji uttered a single word in a deep voice.

The general opened the letter and said loudly: "When the founding emperor rose to power, heroes followed him. Your ancestors either wielded weapons and armor, serving on the battlefield; or they devised strategies and made plans in the command tent. Their images are recorded in the Hall of Literary Glory; their oaths are still preserved in the imperial edicts. You all know this."

"Now you are misled by heretical words, willingly committing rebellion, dividing up territory and raising armies. Is this not absurd? I have received the mandate of Heaven to rule the world. Considering that you come from families of meritorious service, and that you have temporarily lost your minds, I feel deep compassion for you."

"This decree is hereby issued: If they can repent and surrender, I will pardon their past transgressions, treat them with sincerity and righteousness, preserve their rank and emoluments, and protect their clan. If they continue to defy me and remain incorrigible, then the imperial army will strike them down with lightning speed. At that time, not only will they be executed, but I will also issue proclamations to all corners of the land to thoroughly punish their associates. The extermination of their entire clan is not what I desired; it is their own doing!"

"Misfortune and fortune are different paths; the choice is yours alone. Heaven and earth are clear, their warnings are not far off. Be careful! Be careful!"

"That's unreasonable!"

Sun Buqi flew into a rage and slammed his fist on the table in front of him, shattering it to pieces: "Exterminate nine generations? I'd like to see whose nine generations he wants to exterminate!"

"This bastard!"

Rong Yanqiu angrily rebuked, "Wang Zhi was imprisoned, Princesses Chen Yunxi and Xu Yunhuan were detained, Yu Ji was killed, Yu Lie was deposed, and Su Can has disappeared without a trace... It's unbelievable that in just two thousand years, the Han Dynasty has become like this."

Ye Fengxiu asked, "What do we do next?"

"Of course we'll fight them!"

Deng Feng shouted, "How can we allow them to defile the land and its people left behind by the founding emperor!"

"This is difficult, very difficult..."

Second Senior Brother Cheng Wei paced back and forth: "The uprising was hasty, and our forces are insufficient. Moreover, the imperial court is now incorporating sects of all sizes. In addition, with the cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators using the Imperial Heavenly Soil over the years, there are quite a few. In terms of high-level cultivators, we are far inferior. If they really raise an army to attack, the entire Thunderous Continent will fall within two or three years at most."

"boom!"

King Qi slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "My ancestors! I do not wish to rebel, nor do I desire the throne, but if things continue like this, what difference will there be between the Han Dynasty and the previous dynasty's great prosperity?!"

"Yes."

Wang Li echoed, "Even if we are shattered to pieces, we cannot dishonor the name of the Han Dynasty!"

"All right."

Lu Ji slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, "There's no need to argue anymore. Putting everything aside, the Ascension Platform is also in the hands of the imperial court. If we don't take down this scoundrel Jianlong, even if we can hold out in Leiming Linzhou and be unable to ascend, we will eventually be trapped and die in the mortal realm. Since there is no way out, we can only fight to the death."

As the strongest fighter among the older generation, he was ambushed by Jianlong shortly before the incident and is now seriously injured, unable to exert much of his strength.

Everyone is well aware of this.

The atmosphere inside the Temple of the God of Slaughter was oppressive.

But they had no other choice.

"Junior brother, oh junior brother."

Cheng Wei looked up at the Jianmu tree on the horizon: "If you can find the time, you must come back and take a look..."

……

Poyang.

On the edge of the field, Chen Sanshi found a withered old man working and greeted him, "Old man, which household in Yanbian Village are you from?"

"I?"

The old man raised his head, revealing his ugly face: "My surname is Li!"

A bald man's head?!

In a trance.

Chen Sanshi seemed to see the bald man from the same village, but he quickly realized that this should be a descendant of the bald man, so he could be considered an acquaintance.

He asked, "Isn't it forbidden to plant spirit grains in our Great Han Dynasty? Why are there spirit grains everywhere in the fields now? Did you plant them and then exchange them for money with cultivators?"

Hear this.

The bald-headed man stared at the white-robed man with a look of utter astonishment, scrutinizing him from head to toe as if he'd encountered a fool: "Young man, are you out of your mind? Not planting spiritual plants? That was so long ago! I've planted not a single spiritual plant since I was born!"

Chen Sanshi's face instantly darkened.

He turned and left to inquire about the details, only to learn that it was now the fifth dynasty of the Great Han Dynasty, and the emperor's reign title was Jianlong.

He is Chen Duhe's great-grandson.

Now, it is the 230th year of the Jianlong era.

The system of levying Linghe (a type of grain) was implemented starting from the end of the Yongchu era of the previous emperor.

It's already the fifth generation?

Chen Sanshi then found a scholar in Yanbian Village, borrowed books from him, and looked into what had happened over the years.

original.

Not long after Chen Duhe ascended to heaven, demons and monsters suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the border. Emperor Xuanhe took the lead and repelled the demon army several times.

But this person has a problem.

He just had an excessive fondness for personally leading military campaigns.

He personally participated in almost every battle, big or small. His military skills were decent, but not invincible, and his level of expertise was not particularly high.

In a later major battle, he was defeated and surrounded, and committed suicide.

Immediately following this, Emperor Yongchu ascended the throne.

Because the final battle of Xuanhe was a disastrous defeat, the Han Dynasty suffered heavy losses and its national strength was depleted. Emperor Yongchu essentially inherited a mess.

In his later years, in order to win over various sects, he issued an imperial edict requiring the people to start paying the Spirit Grain Tax again, and at the same time began using the blood sacrifice of prisoners of war to improve their cultivation.

Later, Xuanhe went mad with demonic possession and deliberately entered the demon territory. He fought six demons by himself, killing three of them before dying and his cultivation dissipated.

Then came the current Jianlong Emperor.

After ascending the throne, this person began to utilize the foundation left by the previous two emperors to carry out sweeping reforms. The most important thing was to banish the old officials of the Tianwu era to the "cold palace".

In fact, this matter began during the Xuanhe reign and took three generations of planning to finally be able to restrain the old officials of the Tianwu reign.

After that, Emperor Jianlong made full use of cultivators from sects and continuously increased the spiritual grain tax, until today's situation is no different from the previous dynasty's great prosperity.

Further details are beyond what can be obtained from the general public.

The scholar from Yanbian Village said indignantly, "Back in the days of Emperor Taizu, countless lives were shed to establish the Han Dynasty, yet after only five generations, it has become like this! How hateful, how hateful, how hateful!!!"

"Yes."

Chen Sanshi's face grew increasingly gloomy.

Just as he was about to take his leave and go directly to Kunxu, a commotion arose outside.

"Master Immortal! Master Immortal, please spare my daughter!"

"Enough with all this nonsense!"

"..."

Chen Sanshi immediately went out to check the situation.

He saw a Qi Refining cultivator abduct a beautiful young girl from a house.

A middle-aged man clung tightly to the cultivator's leg: "Immortal Master, this is my only daughter!"

"Fuck off!"

The Qi Refining cultivator kicked him away.
