"My teacher will lead the world's soldiers and horses, rebuild the Ming Dynasty, and open up the world."
"But I remember that when my father thrust the blood-stained prince's seal into his hand at Meishan, he was just a general military officer who was called up for his merits but failed to save the fate of the country."
In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the capital fell and the sky collapsed.
Li Lang came all the way from the post in northern Shaanxi in a bloody journey. Although he had reached the rank of commander-in-chief and became a trusted minister of Emperor Chongzhen, he was unable to turn things around in the end. He could only watch the solitary mountain become the end of the dynasty.
On top of Mei Mountain, before Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, he entrusted the trembling prince and the broken mountains and rivers to the only "loyal and brave minister" he could finally trust.
"Li Qing, I have wronged the world and am ashamed of my ancestors. I leave this child and Daming to you."
At that moment, what Li Lang took over was not only the prince's hand, but also the last destiny of a dynasty.
From a powerful minister to an emperor's master, his life has never been the same again.
Not only does he have to protect the prince to fight his way through the end of the world, but he also has to rebuild a brand new empire for him!
Crossing south! Rally the army! Political reform! Suppress rebellion!
Suppressing the rogue bandits, expelling the Tartars, and reclaiming the homeland is just the beginning.
His eyes have already been cast on the world beyond the waves.
"Your Majesty, in the past the Han and Tang Dynasties could see the Western Regions, but today I, the Ming Dynasty, should order all nations to come to court! Wherever the sun and moon shine, they should be the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
