In the 23rd year of Hongwu, the Han people had restored their country. However, China had been submerged for a hundred years. The heroic spirit of the powerful Han Dynasty, the elegance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the fireworks of Bianliang that illuminated the world had all disappeared.
The backward grassland and decadent Neo-Confucianism combined to strangle the flourishing Han civilization. The newly born Ming Dynasty had to become conservative due to historical limitations. It was eventually destroyed by the Tartars and sank into darkness again.
Li Qi traveled through time and space as the son of Li Shanchang, the Duke of Han. Everywhere he looked, he saw families overthrown, blood flowing in the fields, and the sons of dukes and marquises in ruins. "I have one wish: for my family to prosper and for the world to be at peace!"
————
In the winter of the first year of the Yongle reign, there was a heavy snowfall. On his deathbed, Li Qi looked at his handsome young son, and recalled his own youth. "Mu'er, your father is about to die. He has lived a short life, with nothing good to say. I can only sigh that I have seven regrets that have not been fulfilled, and I cannot rest in peace.
I regret that my ancestors could not be cleared of their sins, and the Li family is still a criminal clan. This is because their descendants are unfilial.
The second regret is that the teachings of Cheng and Zhu are still popular, while few people respond to Hengqu's four sentences.
The third regret is that the Ming Dynasty could not recover the old territories of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
The fourth regret is that I have never seen Jiaxuan’s old poem about the never-sleeping scene in Bianjing.
The fifth regret is that I don’t know the scenery of all the countries overseas.
My sixth regret is that I have never seen the way to eternal peace.
I regret not having traveled to the palaces of heaven, not knowing that among the stars there are infinite births and deaths."

"The Chang'e-1 lunar exploration spacecraft, developed by Chinese scientists, officially arrived on the moon today. Astronaut Li Bangyue left the spacecraft to explore. This is a great breakthrough in my country's space history!"
Nanjing, Li's Ancestral Hall.
"Li Bangcheng, the 30th generation head of the Li family, respectfully informs our ancestors that the descendants of the Li family have ascended to the heavenly palace. The seven great grievances have ended today!" (There is already a 20,000-copy book on the same subject, "Establishing a Millennium Family from King Wu's Conquest of King Zhou").
Luo Zhao traveled through time and space to become the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, and was appointed regent. Starting from the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, he established a family and continued to pass on the legacy through the successive dynasties.
"The Luo family has survived to this day, spanning over 2,300 years. Starting with our ancestor, King Su Zhao, who served as regent, nine generations have taken over the government, each returning it to the king. We have witnessed the rise and fall of countless dynasties, and when their fortunes run out, the royal family falls into ruin. The supreme position carries the stain of the state, carrying the misfortune of the state. The Luo family will never taint themselves with it. Destiny is predestined, and the Luo family respects and understands their destiny. How could they defy it and covet a divine artifact?"
The Luo family of the Ji surname is well-known in the world.
For thousands of years, there have been regents who have absolute power and are insolent; there have been prime ministers who have taken the lead in saving the world and saved it from decline; there have been unparalleled generals who have quelled the chaos and rebuilt the country.
Therefore, there is a saying that Luo and Huang share the world.
