Li Fan implemented his plan in an orderly and step-by-step manner.
With two lifetimes of experience, everything fell into place as smoothly as a matter of course.
He still took the imperial examination.
But this time, with decades of experience in power, the articles he wrote were naturally far superior to those in his previous life. Ranked first in all provincial examinations, joint examinations, and palace examinations, won three yuan in a row, and became famous all over the world!
Later, he invited himself to serve as an official in other places on the grounds that his youth would increase his seniority. The destination is naturally Wen County.
Although there was a lot of confusion and regret in the court, his request was still approved.
So three years after anchoring, he came to Wenxian again.
This time, it's much better than the last time. Because he is so famous and knows the temperament of all the officials in the county. It took almost no effort for him to bring everyone in Wen County into submission.
Then, he began to promote and train his confidants in the previous life, and continued to strengthen his power.
At the same time, he drew a drawing of the flintlock gun, ordered the craftsmen to produce it according to the drawing, and told him all the difficulties in production. After that, he ordered people to recruit skilled craftsmen privately in various places, striving to develop more advanced guns.
The mining of minerals in the mountains has not been idle either. Li Fan swept away all the bandits in the mountains near Wen County and dragged them all to mine. Relying on the mining area, he built many workshops in the mountains to mass-produce handicrafts and ironware. At the same time, he secretly organized a caravan to travel and sell in various places to accumulate funds.
After four years of anchoring, Li Fan secretly searched and finally found Emperor Xuan Jing's replacement. It was the existence of this double that almost failed his assassination plan in his previous life. Fortunately, he has always been cautious in doing things, and relied on many back-ups to avoid failure. Li Fan personally trained the stand-in, and after half a year, there were almost no flaws.
After five years of anchoring, there was a severe drought in Jiangnan. Li Fan ordered his confidants to pretend to be refugees and attack Prince Langya's palace. Li Fan led the crowd to pretend to rescue, but in fact, he secretly killed King Langya and his family. At the same time, let the substitute appear.
From then on, Li Fanjiu occupied the Magpie Nest and secretly controlled the Langya Palace.
The news that King Langya's family was killed and only King Langya himself was saved shocked the government and the public. The emperor was furious and sent troops to suppress the refugees. Li Fan had meritorious service and was promoted to the prefect of Jianghuai Prefecture.
Li Fan's power further expanded. However, he became cautious after that. It did not continue to expand outwards, but kept a low profile on technological advancement and productivity development.
After 7 years of anchoring, the locust plague arrived as promised. Li Fan had already taken precautions, so there was no disaster in Jianghuai Mansion. He also applied to the court to open a warehouse to release grain and help the victims. The court agreed.
With this opportunity, Li Fan gained a large population. After that, these disaster victims settled down under Li Fan's rule, and Li Fan's strength also grew explosively.
After 9 years of anchoring, the wedding of King Langya and the granddaughter of the chief bachelor was held as scheduled. That night, Li Fan broke into the bridal chamber at night and scared Princess Langya almost to death. After learning that Li Fan killed King Langya and used a substitute dove to occupy the magpie nest, he angrily denounced Li Fan as a traitor. Li Fan didn't take it seriously, but laughed loudly and asked her to write down this shocking thing in the letter.
Li Fan took this letter with him, pretended to be King Langya's messenger, and secretly went to Beijing to meet the chief bachelor.
Li Fan looked as usual and told the whole story that he now controlled the entire Langya Palace, and claimed that he and the grandmaster's granddaughter became husband and wife on the night of their wedding banquet. Although the scholar was frightened, he asked Li Fan what he wanted to do.
Li Fan bluntly said that the bachelor had been in power for many years and had made too many enemies. And the sons are all useless. After the death of the bachelor, it may be difficult to protect the family. As long as the Grand Scholar helps him, Li Fan, when necessary, Li Fan will definitely protect the Grand Scholar's family's prosperity for hundreds of years.
The bachelor pondered for a long time and slowly asked what was going on. Li Fan smiled and said that he would figure it out in the future, and then he drifted away.
After 10 years of anchoring, Princess Langya gave birth to a son. Obviously, this is Li Fan's seed. Li Fan wrote a letter and went to the Grand Scholar's Mansion to announce the good news.
After 15 years of anchoring, the emperor finally became seriously ill. After receiving the decree to pass on the throne, Li Fan and his confidants traveled to Beijing quickly at night and under the stars.
After King Langya succeeded to the throne, Li Fan used the emperor's will to arrange his confidants in the court. At the same time, the Grand Master secretly cooperated and controlled the situation without causing any trouble.
After 16 years of anchoring, rebellions broke out everywhere. Li Fan took the opportunity to insert his confidants into the army, and then promoted him extensively based on his military achievements in countering the rebellion. However, within three or four years, the army was firmly under Li Fan's control.
Anchored for 20 years, the world gradually recovered from the turmoil of the emperor's replacement. At this time, Li Fan decisively poisoned the fake Emperor Kang Ning, smothering the last possible threat in the cradle.
After supporting his son to proclaim himself emperor, Li Fan named himself Grand Master, stepped from behind the scenes to the stage, and once again gained power over the world.
After that, not only did the gears of the development of Daxuan Kingdom not stagnate, but they moved even faster because of Li Fan's will!
Anchored for 35 years, Taishi Mansion.
Li Fan looked at the secret letter handed over by his subordinates, read it carefully for a moment, and couldn't help but frown.
"So, the fog on the ruins will dissipate for half a day every fifteen years?"
"Reporting back to Grand Master, that's exactly what happened. Our Immortal Visiting Camp was ordered to station beside the Xuyuan and observe day and night. Finally, we have gained something in the past few days." The Immortal Visiting Officer kneeling on the ground recalled the scene at that time, with still lingering emotions on his face. With a shocked look. "After the fog dissipated, there was a faint light shining from the bottom of the abyss. We used telescopes to observe and found various inverted scenes."
"Although everyone sees it differently, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains rolling up and down, majestic buildings hidden among them, which are vaguely visible; there are towering cities standing on the plains, with prosperous fireworks and a population of no less than a million; there are also cities in the sky surrounding them. Under the glow of the rays, all kinds of rare birds and animals are flying in it, it’s really..." The visitor to the immortal paused for a moment before expressing his emotions. "It's really incredible."
"Sure enough, it's from Xuyuan." Although he had known the news for a long time, now that he had received confirmation from his subordinates, Li Fan was still a little excited. However, many years of experience have already made him emotionless.
He asked calmly: "Have you found a way to get to the bottom of the abyss?"
The Immortal Visitor's breath stagnated, and then his face turned pale. He quickly kowtowed and apologized: "My subordinates are incompetent. We tried various methods, but as soon as we went down to a certain depth, we were cut to pieces by the sudden strong wind. The strong wind was so powerful that even our hardest armor could not withstand it for a moment." "
When Li Fan heard this, he didn't look disappointed at all.
After waving his hand and letting the visiting immortal officials leave, Li Fan said to himself: "It seems that I still have to wait for you."
…
Anchored for 50 years, Daxuan Kingdom, Xuanjing.
Xuanjing City, which used to be extremely lively, is now eerily quiet.
Under the decree of the current imperial master, the vast majority of Xuanjing people were forcibly moved to surrounding cities a month ago, said to be to avoid disasters. Of course some people don't believe this ridiculous excuse. However, the grand master didn't do anything when he arrived, and he didn't force himself if he really didn't want to leave. He just suggested digging a basement at home to take shelter. These people only treat it as a joke.
After Li Fan received the report, he didn't take care of it. He has done his best.
Today, in the streets and alleys of Xuanjing City, there are special troops that he has carefully prepared over the years to deal with the two immortals.
Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!
At night, with the bright moon hanging high, the two immortal cultivators arrived as scheduled!
"Dao Xuanzi! Don't bully others too much!"
Kou Hong's angry shout spread throughout Xuanjing City.
"Da da da da..."
Countless tongues of fire suddenly lit up, and tens of thousands of bullets bombarded the two immortals like a waterfall in an instant!
