I'm a scumbag

Chapter 222 The faint king is gone, but the courtiers are left alone! [Wan Zi Da Zhang, please subscribe]

Emperor Shun died unexpectedly.

Is it so sudden?

Without even giving any foreshadowing, he died directly.

One must know that not long ago, Ning Chen had met Emperor Shun.

And it's one-on-one, face-to-face.

At that time, Ning Chen felt that Emperor Shun was very energetic.

No signs of aging at all.

What's more, Emperor Shun's family is built for longevity.

Xiu Changsheng's short life, isn't this discrediting the Taoist sect of Changsheng?
Could it be murder?

In the past, Emperor Shun was not worth murdering, because if Emperor Shun was in power, it would be a good thing for the enemies of the Wu Dynasty.

They even felt that Emperor Shun's cultivation of longevity was simply not right.

Such a fool must live longer.

Only the faint king who lives for a long time is the most beneficial to them.

But now it's different.

Wu Zhao and Ning Chen jointly opened Jiuding, and a series of reforms followed.

Quickly accumulated the luck of the Wu Dynasty.

Before Emperor Shun abdicated, Emperor Shun was most closely related to luck in the Wu Dynasty.

If Emperor Shun died, it would be equivalent to cutting off a large part of the luck of the Wu Dynasty.

And the sooner this is done, the better.

Because when the Wu Dynasty has gathered enough luck, it will be considered as a successful assassination of Emperor Shun at that time.

The luck that was cut off will not affect the luck of too many Wu dynasties.

On the contrary, they will become cannon fodder during the growth of Wu Dynasty's luck.

According to this reasoning, it is the most suitable time to assassinate Emperor Shun at this stage.

However, Emperor Shun's strength is not bad at all.

Feng Wudi's one-on-one is just a [-]-[-] split.

If you want to kill Emperor Shun, you need at least the top three ranks.

In addition, Emperor Shun has always been in Fengjing, practicing under the sect of Changsheng Taoism.

There is also a second rank in the Longevity Dao Sect.

Under such circumstances, if you want to kill Shun Emperor, it is basically impossible to successfully kill Shun Emperor without a first-rank shot.

First-rank masters, when the Wu Dynasty was founded, there were all human races, monster races and barbarian races.

It's just that they were all wiped out by the human race.

In the following hundreds of years, none of the three parties could give birth to another first product.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for Yipin to murder Emperor Shun.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if there is really a first rank.

He really killed Fengjing, but with Fengjing's background, he might not be able to kill Chengshun Emperor.

And Ning Chen didn't think it would be a good deal to kill Emperor Shun with the first rank.

"Could it be that the Dao Sect of Longevity has rebelled?" Without the murder of external forces, the suspicion of Dao Sect of Longevity is undoubtedly the biggest.

There are two grades in the Taoist sect of longevity, and Emperor Shun is also a cultivator of longevity.

If you want to kill Shun Emperor, Changsheng Daozong is obviously the best way to do it.

But Changsheng Daozong had no reason to kill Emperor Shun.

Emperor Shun is the long-term meal ticket of the Taoist sect of longevity, and at the same time the protector of the Taoist sect of longevity.

Emperor Shun died, and the one who lost the most was Changsheng Daozong.

After much deliberation, Ning Chen couldn't figure it out, how did Emperor Shun die?

"Senior sister, how do you think Emperor Shun died?" Ning Chen spat out the grass stick in his mouth and asked Bai Yaoyao.

Bai Yaoyao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said to Ning Chen: "If Emperor Shun is really dead, there is a high probability that he died naturally."

Natural death is old age.

Because with Emperor Shun's cultivation base, it is impossible to get sick.

So death can be directly ruled out.

Being slender doesn't mean you can't die of old age.

It's just that Emperor Shun's age doesn't look too old.

So far, Emperor Shun has only reigned for more than forty years.

Even when Emperor Shun inherited the throne, he was already forty.

Emperor Shun is only in his 80s now.

For a cultivator who cultivates longevity and has already cultivated to a very high level.

Over 80 years old, that can only be regarded as the beginning of life.

Five hundred years old is a small hurdle, seven hundred years old is a big hurdle, and one thousand years old is a life-and-death situation.

Naturally die of old age.

That wave of Emperor Shun is really a perfect wave of reverse delivery for Changsheng Daozong.

A majestic emperor, rich in the world.

I can provide whatever resources I want, but I have practiced Taoism for decades and died of old age.

After this, who would dare to cultivate longevity.

After hearing Ning Chen's complaints, Bai Yaoyao explained to Ning Chen: "Things are not what you think.

A person in a country can live no more than a hundred years.

This is a decree of heaven, Emperor Shun died, it can only be said that he did not break this law. "

A countryman, can't live to be more than a hundred?

What kind of strange cold knowledge is this.

I have never heard of it before.

Bai Yaoyao continued to explain to Ning Chen: "The way of heaven is fair, and you have to pay as much as it gives you.

Sitting on the throne of the king, you can enjoy the benefits of wealth and luck.

Naturally, you have to give something, and this contribution is the contribution on the longevity.

A person in a country can live no more than a hundred years.

This law has not been broken until today. "

Ning Chen curled his lips and said: "It seems that this emperor is not so easy to be."

If this is not an extraordinary world, it is nothing.

But this is an extraordinary world. The lifespan of ordinary people can easily reach over eighty.

Practitioners start at a hundred and fifty, and advanced practitioners can live for hundreds of years without any problem.

As a result, you, the emperor, will not survive a hundred years.

It's a bit miserable.

Bai Yaoyao said calmly: "You can't say that. When you become an emperor, you really can't live beyond a hundred years.

But it depends on how you look at it.

When you are in power, you can add luck to your body, and there is almost no peaceful cultivation.

At the same time, your qi and blood will remain at their peak until you die.

There will be no exhaustion or aging period at all, and even when you die, you will still maintain the strongest state. "

If that's the case, then it really needs to be looked at separately.

Ordinary practitioners, with the deepening of their cultivation, can indeed increase their lifespan.

But as long as the practice stagnates, with the increase of age.

Qi and blood decline and decline, that is something that is bound to happen.

At this time, if you want to prolong your life, you can only reduce activities as much as possible.

For example, the Taoist leader of the second grade of Changsheng Daozong, now basically can only sit on the death test.

Living like this is not much different from going to jail.

Even if the emperor dies, he will not have to worry about the decline of his blood.

So all his life, he was in his best physical condition.

If it is really better than the quality of life in this lifetime, it may really be happier to be an emperor who can live for about a hundred years.

Of course, this thing also divides people.

Some people like to live long.

Ning Chen's words are a little simpler, Ning Chen has to grasp with both hands, and both hands have to be firm.

It is necessary to live longer, but also to be refreshed.

"Chirp!"

A few bluebirds chirped, Ning Chen raised his hand, and a bluebird landed on Ning Chen's palm.

After checking the information in the blue bird, Ning Chen said to Bai Yaoyao: "Senior sister, His Highness Wu Zhao summoned me to return to Beijing immediately. He also specifically said that senior sister, you will come back to Beijing with me."

Bai Yaoyao nodded, and directly pulled Ning Chen into the air.

The third grade of Wufu can fly.

Ning Chen already knew this.

Based on the principle of not wasting money, Ning Chen directly sent the carriage to Huangquan.

The life stone can't hold living things, but Huangquan can.

Ning Chen had pretended to be himself before, and now it is a normal operation to put the car in.

Although Bai Yaoyao saw Ning Chen's actions, she didn't ask anything.

Bai Yaoyao took Ning Chen's hand and quickly flew towards Fengjing.

Combined with the strong wind in the sky and Bai Yaoyao's speed, if Bai Yaoyao hadn't given her strength to help Ning Chen stop it.

Ning Chen couldn't last long at all.

Normally, it takes almost a month to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

Bai Yaoyao returned to Fengjing in two hours.

Although Fengjing at this moment is not full of oysters, the atmosphere can feel an invisible depression in the sky.

Bai Yaoyao and Ning Chen went directly to Mingde Palace.

Bai Yaoyao didn't deliberately hide her aura, so Sun Banban had already noticed it as soon as it approached.

"Lord Ning, General Bai, this old slave has offended you.

Please show your respective waist badges and auras for the formation to judge. "Sun Banban said respectfully to Ning Chen and Bai Yaoyao.

At this time, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

After the two of them verified their integrity, Sun Banban opened a corner of the formation and led Ning Chen and Bai Yaoyao into Mingde Palace.

Sun Banban is so cautious, it can be seen that Emperor Shun should be really cold.

Of course, Ning Chen never doubted that Shun Emperor had suspended his death.

Because luck is such a thing, there is no way to fake it.

I did lose a large piece of luck.

In the absence of any major events, only the death of Emperor Shun can cause a large chunk of luck to collapse.

Ning Chen and Bai Yaoyao followed Sun Banban to the meeting hall of Mingde Palace.

At this moment, the Prime Minister Lin Dunxin, the Military Minister Wang Lin, Cao Xing and six ministers, the ministers of the nine temples, the imperial doctor, and Dongtai representing the nobles, the servants of Dongtai and important relatives of the emperor are all in Ming Dynasty. In the council hall of the German Palace.

The area of ​​the political hall of Mingde Palace is actually not that big.

Usually, more than a dozen people discuss matters together without any problems.

But at this moment, when dozens of people squeezed in, it really seemed crowded.

Although there were many people here, no one spoke at the moment.

The sudden change caught many people off guard.

The point is, who would have thought that a long-lived emperor would not live forever, but would die of old age naturally.

The arrival of Ning Chen and Bai Yaoyao did cause some waves.

After all, Ning Chen hadn't appeared in court for two months.

It must be said that without Ning Chen's court, it was really very quiet, so quiet that it made people feel lonely.

Especially those censors, they all felt that it was time for them to retire and return to their hometowns.

If Ning Chen is not impeached, they will not feel the value of their existence.

As for Bai Yaoyao beside Ning Chen, although few people knew her.

But it can be seen that this aunt is good-looking, but she is definitely not easy to mess with.

Ning Chen Hao Bai Yaoyao came to Wu Zhao, saluted and said, "I have seen Your Highness."

Wu Zhao raised his hand and said, "Uncle Champion, General Bai doesn't need to be polite."

Ning Chen was slightly taken aback when he heard Wu Zhao addressing him.

Ning Chen already knew the title of Uncle Champion.

It's just that the imperial court has not come down with a decree, and Ning Chen thought it hadn't been passed.

Looking at the expressions of the court officials around, it is obvious that they have known about their being conferred for a long time.

All of a sudden, Ning Chen lost a lot of fun.

Originally, I wanted to appreciate the wonderful expressions of Manchao Wenwu in person.

Just when Ning Chen was thinking about this, Wu Zhao suddenly said, "Ning Chen stepped forward to accept the order."

Ning Chen came back to his senses, took a step forward, and bowed his hands in salute.

Sun Banban took out the imperial decree and read it aloud.

"Following the heavens, the emperor's edict said: Ning Chen, head of the Ministry of Officials, Ministry of Rites and Ministry of War, and president of the Hundred Schools Academy, has experienced military exploits and saved thousands of people from fire and water... Now he is bestowed the title of Uncle Champion."

"Sir, thank Your Majesty Long En."

Before Ning Chen could receive the decree, Sun Banban took out another imperial decree and said loudly: "Uncle Champion accepts the decree."

"and also."

Ning Chen was taken aback for a moment, but anyway, he straightened up, and it was fine to listen.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: I know very well that I have no way to return to heaven... For example, after I return to heaven, I will appoint Uncle Champion as the envoy of the mountain to be responsible for the affairs behind me."

Hearing the second edict, Ning Chen was a little taken aback.

Shanling envoy, to put it bluntly, is the chairman of the funeral committee.

But normally, shouldn't this position be held by a relative of the emperor?
Although he is now a Boss, he is considered a half-royal.

But he is just an uncle with a different surname, and he was just appointed uncle.

What does Shundi mean?
Could it be that he wants to play Baidicheng Tuogu.

However, no marriage was given, so it was directly rated negatively.

After Ning Chen took the order to thank Bai Yaoyao, he returned to Bai Yaoyao's side.

"Uncle Champion, these two edicts are the last two imperial edicts left by your father. Your father trusts you so much, I hope that Uncle Champion will not disappoint your father's entrustment."

Ning Chen could clearly hear that when Wu Zhao said these things again, there was unconcealable sadness in his tone.

This sadness is not faked.

From this point, it can also be proved that Emperor Shun should have really died.

"The minister will do his best to live up to His Majesty's entrustment." Ning Chen said loudly.

Standing behind Ning Chen, Lin Dunxin and Wang Lin looked at each other.

Obviously on this issue, the two people have the same idea.

In fact, it wasn't just Lin Dunxin and Wang Lin, many people in the room felt a bit of enlightenment when they heard what Ning Chen said.

Uncle Champion supported Wu Zhao.

Ning Chen's words, "I live up to your majesty's trust."

It can be understood as expressing one's heart to Emperor Shun, and it can also be understood as expressing one's heart to Wu Zhao.

After all, Emperor Shun passed away, so he should be called Xiandi.

Therefore, Ning Chen's seemingly ambiguous expression has actually shown his heart.

"There's Mr. Champion."

Because of Ning Chen, the envoy of the mountain, the next matter will naturally be handled by Ning Chen, the envoy of the mountain.

Although Ning Chen has no experience in this field, but the funeral committee, he must not be the only commander.

So Emperor Shun dumped the responsibility to Ning Chen, and it would be fine for Ning Chen to dump the responsibility to someone else.

Lin Dunxin would definitely not be able to run away, and Wang Linna must also go.

Then Lu Gao from the Ministry of Households, and Cao Xing from the Ministry of Punishment.

In the palace, it is Sun Banban.

Ning Chen didn't choose anyone for the royal family, mainly because he only knew one person, Wu Angwu, the seventh.

Wu Ang is not in Fengjing, so there is no way for him to take up a position.

But it doesn't matter if you don't choose, because Ning Chen himself is considered a half-royal.

As for these five people, whoever they plan to take with them, let the five of them find it, and Ning Chen will not participate.

Although in Ning Chen's view, he did it entirely for the convenience of being the hands-off shopkeeper.

But in the eyes of others, this is not the case at all.

This is Ning Chen's team, which is equivalent to Wu Zhao's future team.

If you want to be successful in the future, these five people will have five thighs.

In the end, Ningchen's Baijia Academy sent Zhao Zizhan as a representative to assist the group of five in organizing the funeral of Emperor Shun.

Sending Zhao Zizhan was purely Ning Chen's purpose to show his presence in the Hundred Schools Academy.

After confirming the main team of five people, the rest of the civil and military officials are all sent home for the time being to wait for the order.

Before the officials left, Lin Dunxin warned everyone with a gentle but firm voice.

Let everyone know what to say and what not to say.

At the same time, let everyone know what the result will be if you say something you shouldn't say.

When Emperor Shun passed away, those who could know knew it immediately.

These civil and military officials only knew about it after being notified.

Notifying them is not valuing them.

Just to warn them and let them know what to say and what not to say.

After the officials left the council hall, Ning Chen also paid homage to the five Lin Dunxins: "Next, please cooperate with me."

"Don't dare to try your best!" The five people also bowed to Ning Chen.

After Lin Dunxin and the others left, Ning Chen was about to bid farewell to Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao first said to Ning Chen: "Uncle Champion, you and Bengong go to meet Emperor Father."

"Okay." Ning Chen nodded in response.

Sun Banban accompanied Wu Zhao, and Bai Yaoyao accompanied Ning Chen.

After the four of them left Mingde Palace, they came all the way to Zichen Palace.

Zichen Hall is the sleeping hall of Emperor Shun.

Looking at the whole piece of Zichen Palace.

Ning Chen didn't have much contact with Emperor Shun, let alone in-depth communication.

But seeing such a piece of plain, Ning Chen couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Sun Banban pushed the door of the palace open and stepped aside.

"Father wants to see you." Wu Zhao stepped aside and said to Ning Chen.

"Meet me? Emperor Shun is not dead?" Ning Chen was stunned for a moment and asked back.

"A remnant soul left by the father." Wu Zhao said to Ning Chen with a downcast expression.

"Yin God?"

Ning Chen forgot about it, Emperor Shun is a method of cultivating Taoism, and there is a yin god.

Wu Zhao shook his head: "It's not a yin god, it's a real remnant soul."

Wu Zhao paused for a moment, and said, "Father's remnant soul can't hold on for too long, don't keep Father waiting."

"Okay." Ning Chen nodded and went in.

Ning Chen raised his foot to go in, and Bai Yaoyao followed Ning Chen to go in.

But Wu Zhao stretched out his hand and stopped Bai Yaoyao.

Bai Yaoyao turned to look at Wu Zhao.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Ning Chen quickly said to Bai Yaoyao: "Senior Sister, it's okay, I can go in by myself."

Bai Yaoyao nodded, took a step back, and stood side by side with Wu Zhao.

After Ning Chen entered Zichen Hall, Sun Banban also closed the hall door.

There is a huge coffin parked in the center of Zichen Hall.

The coffin is a special kind of wood that can keep the body alive for thousands of years.

Ning Chen took the incense to Emperor Shun and put three sticks of incense on it. Taking advantage of the incense burning time, Ning Chen also sneaked close to the coffin to take a look.

"Don't look at it, it's dead."

Just when Ning Chen was thinking about whether he should check it carefully again.

Emperor Shun's voice came from the front.

Ning Chen raised his head, looked at Emperor Shun who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Your Majesty is here, I was so sad that I didn't see His Majesty just now."

"You really dare to lie to ghosts." Emperor Shun was also very speechless about Ning Chen's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense.

"Your Majesty looks like this, but it doesn't look like he's dead at all. Look, Your Majesty, the face is still rosy now, but it looks dead there.

What kind of body does His Majesty like, young or old, handsome or old.

Your Majesty, if you order, I must find a way to get it done. "Ning Chen patted his chest and assured Emperor Shun.

"I think your physical body is not bad." Emperor Shun said coldly.

Ning Chen took a step back, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm not suitable for you. I belong to the handsome and fouled kind. Therefore, my body is suitable for such an interesting soul as I. Your Majesty's is not suitable."

Ning Chen's words also made Emperor Shun speechless for a while.

"Come here and have a good chat with me." Emperor Shun calmed down for a while, and then regained his seriousness.

"Your Majesty, it's okay, such a long distance is just right. Distance creates beauty, such a distance is the most beautiful distance." Ning Chen stood still and said to Emperor Shun.

Emperor Shun raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Chen, and said: "The entire Zichen Palace is covered with formations, and the dominance of this formation is still in my hands. If I really want to do something to you, Bai Yaoyao can't do anything to you." It's too late to save you."

After hearing Emperor Shun's words, Ning Chen directly picked up a jug of wine and a roast chicken on the altar table, and ran to Emperor Shun in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, this distance minister suddenly finds it more beautiful."

After finishing speaking, Ning Chen was not polite, and sat directly opposite Shun Emperor.

"You are really thick-skinned." Seeing Ning Chen like this, Emperor Shun laughed angrily.

Ning Chen poured two glasses of wine, clinked the two glasses of wine, drank one by himself, and poured the other on the ground: "I respect you, I will make an apology to Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, Ning Chen noticed that Emperor Shun stretched out his hand ready to take the wine glass.

Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, and said to Emperor Shun: "Can Your Majesty drink?"

"Who told you that remnant souls can't drink anymore?" Emperor Shun said angrily.

Ning Chen quickly poured another glass of wine and put it in Emperor Shun's hand.

After clinking glasses with Emperor Shun again, Ning Chen confessed: "Your Majesty, I really didn't know that a remnant soul can drink. It was my hometown just now, and it is a custom to worship the deceased elders in the family."

Emperor Shun put the wine glass on the table, and asked Ning Chen with an angry look: "Do you think I'm just a remnant soul now, so I can't order to kill you?"

Ning Chen said: "Of course I believe that His Majesty can still order to kill you.

However, I feel that it is rare for His Majesty to find someone to talk to.

And I am also an elder who really regards His Majesty as a minister. When chatting with the elders, the minister prefers to be more natural.

This way I am comfortable, and so is Your Majesty. "

Emperor Shun suddenly laughed, picked up the wine glass on the table again, and said to Ning Chen with a smile: "I really feel very comfortable in such an atmosphere."

After a pause, Emperor Shun said with emotion: "Once upon a time, I also thought that I could talk to my father and emperor like this. I also thought that my heirs could have a few words with me like this."

Looking at Emperor Shun who was full of emotions, Ning Chen sneered in his heart: I can't control you, little Emperor Shun, just because I brushed Zhen Huan ten times and Yanxi Palace five times.

Ning Chen filled another glass of wine for Emperor Shun, and said to Emperor Shun, "Your Majesty, what is your purpose here?"

Emperor Shun put down his wine glass and asked Ning Chen: "Do you think I am a good emperor?"

Ning Chen also put down his wine glass, and said seriously: "If you let the minister judge you, in the eyes of the minister, you are the best emperor. If your majesty dies, the minister will definitely bear the brunt of the biggest loss."

When Ning Chen said these words, he was really serious.

In fact, Ning Chen also thought so in his heart.

It is a perfect match for a faint king and a courtier.

Now that the faint king is gone, if he wants to be a courtier, he has to spend a lot of effort.

Emperor Shun looked at Ning Chen, from Ning Chen's eyes, Emperor Shun did not see any trace of flattery.

"Zhen, I saw the right person, I didn't trust you in vain." Emperor Shun said happily.

Ning Chen curled his lips in his heart after hearing Emperor Shun's words.

However, he still agreed: "Your Majesty, the two of us, the monarch and the ministers, are a perfect example of the emperor, the sage and the minister. The two of us, the monarch and the minister, must live forever."

Emperor Shun interrupted Ning Chen and said, "Okay, I already know what you want."

The conversation turned to Emperor Shun, and said: "However, I also know that in the eyes of others, I am a fool, a complete fool.

They feel that my practice of Taoism is harmful to the country, and they feel that they favor traitors and crowd out loyal and good people. "

Hearing the word treacherous, Ning Chen curled his lips, feeling deeply offended.

"Even if I die, they won't feel any sadness at all.

On the contrary, I will celebrate with my forehead and hands, thinking that a foolish king like me is finally dead.

I feel that the human race and the Wu Dynasty are finally saved. "

Ning Chen interrupted Emperor Shun, and said: "Your Majesty, you really can't say that. If you are still alive, Your Majesty, then it's okay for them to think that Your Majesty is a fool.

But His Majesty passed away. If His Majesty is really a fool, how could he cultivate longevity and kill himself? "

Emperor Shun said: "You are a virtuous minister, you can understand. But not everyone in this world is as virtuous as Ning Aiqing and you. They don't look at me like that, they only think that I deserve to die, that It's too late for me to die."

For the sake of Emperor Shun saying that he is virtuous, Ning Chen planned to comfort Emperor Shun again: "Your Majesty, you can't say that.

Although there is no second person who is as virtuous as Chen, there is someone who is not as virtuous as Chen.

Let them think about it, maybe they will be able to figure it out. "

"Now that you have understood why I died, I will not explain to you why I died. I will tell you what you need to do for me, right?"

Ning Chen interrupted Emperor Shun, and said: "Don't, Your Majesty. My time in court is still too short. There are some things that I still don't know clearly. Your Majesty should explain it to the minister in detail.

In this way, I have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of His Majesty, and it will be good for me to help His Majesty in the future, isn't it? "

Emperor Shun took a sip of wine, and Ning Chen immediately filled it up, and at the same time filled up his own glass.

As if you have a story and I have wine, waiting for Emperor Shun to tell a story.

"Do you know why I am called Emperor Shun?" Emperor Shun asked Ning Chen.

Ning Chen nodded and said, "I know a little bit.

People outside said that His Majesty is because all of His Majesty's brothers are dead.

His Majesty became emperor without any competition.

Your Majesty is called Emperor Shun because he feels that he has successfully become the emperor. "

Emperor Shun sneered and said: "Sentiment? No one will think that I am emotional. They will only think that I am arrogant and stupid."

After a pause, Emperor Shun changed the subject, and said with a murderous tone in his tone: "But how do they know that those are my blood brothers!

Those are the brothers who love me the most!

How could I wish them to die, how could I harm them!
I can't wait to kill those enemies who killed my brother with my own hands.

But I am the king of a country, and I want to protect the country left to me by my brothers.

I can bear the infamy, but I can't go to see my elder brothers without words after I die!
I can be stupid, I can be incompetent, and I can bear the scolding of everyone in the world.

I can make people all over the world think that I am the one who annihilated brotherhood and betrayed the country.

But I must defend, the country that my brothers are desperately trying to defend, the human race that is defending! "

After listening to what Emperor Shun said through gritted teeth, Ning Chen's views on Emperor Shun were really overturned.

Although Ning Chen didn't think it before, Emperor Shun was so stupid.

But Emperor Shun is definitely not a wise king.

After listening to what Emperor Shun said today.Ning Chen discovered that this matter was really not as simple as what he saw on the surface.

Emperor Shun, an old boy, actually hides so many things in his heart.

"Is this a plan to forcibly wash white before death?" Ning Chen complained in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Ning Chen asked Emperor Shun: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask one more question. Why does Your Majesty practice Taoism?"

Emperor Shun drank all the wine in his cup and asked Ning Chen, "What do you think of the Taoist sect of longevity?"

"Your Majesty, let's put aside my personal grievances with Changsheng Taoist Sect, it is definitely not a good thing?" Ning Chen swore.

Emperor Shun nodded and said, "Then how do you think the Taoist sect of longevity will survive if I don't practice longevity?"

Ning Chen really didn't think about this question.

But this question is actually not difficult to answer.

If Changsheng Daozong did not have the long-term meal ticket of Emperor Shun, it would inevitably enter the folk.

"How many people in the world do you think can endure the temptation of longevity?" Emperor Shun asked back.

"This..." Ning Chen thought for a while, it seems that there are really few people who can resist the temptation of longevity.

According to Emperor Shun's idea, Ning Chen suddenly figured out the key point.

Emperor Shun cultivated the way of longevity, indeed the harm was not small.

But if you look at it the other way around, Taoism of Changsheng has a stable and long-term meal ticket with whatever you want because it is in place in one step.

Indeed, there is absolutely no need to go to the people to spread their morality.

At the same time, because Emperor Shun directly made Changsheng Daozong into something that only nobles can play.

As a result, the folks naturally hated the Taoist sect of longevity.

In this way, Changsheng Daozong would have no living environment among the people.

Without the living environment of the people, the destructive power of the Taoist sect of longevity has indeed been greatly reduced.

If the Taoism of Longevity is really allowed to spread among the people.

That's rotten from the root.

As for why Emperor Shun didn't directly destroy Daozong of Longevity, the answer is also obvious.

Changsheng Daozong has a second-rank Taoist leader, if you really want to wipe it out.

It is necessary to bring troops back at the level of Marquis Ding and Prince Jing.

But if this happens, there will be a lot of movement.

And if they fight like this, whether it is for the human race or the Wu Dynasty.

It's all a disgraceful thing.

From this point of view, Emperor Shun's own cultivation would indeed be considered the least loss.

Ning Chen looked Shundi up and down, as if meeting Shundi for the first time.

In fact, it is right to think about it, when Emperor Shun came to power.

Although the Wu Dynasty defeated the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, in fact, the foundation of the Wu Dynasty has been almost exhausted.

Wu Dynasty is basically an empty shelf.

With such an empty frame, Emperor Shun can toss for almost 40 years, and can continue to maintain such an empty frame.

It can also make all parties look at this empty shelf, keep their hands on it, and always firmly believe that Emperor Shun can kill himself.

This skill is actually not easy.

"Your Majesty, in fact, if this is the case, it's okay if you don't die." Ning Chen thought for a while and said to Emperor Shun.

Emperor Shun shook his head and said: "My ability can only go so far. How to revive our human race and our Wu Dynasty depends on you."

After a pause, Emperor Shun said: "Besides, I can't decide when I will die."

Turning the subject, Emperor Shun said with great fighting spirit: "And I don't think at all that if I die now, it will have any impact on our Wu Dynasty and our human race.

Although my Wu Dynasty still does not have a full granary or a full bank.

But in my Wu Dynasty, there is now a second-rank Marquis Ding with an army of 30, and a second-rank King Jing with an army of 20.There are also 40 government guards who have regained their combat power.

Moreover, there is no food, money and silver in my Wu Dynasty now, but what about in another year? "

Ning Chen knew that Emperor Shun was talking about Min Si.

Minsi's progress is indeed very smooth, as far as Liangzhou's current situation is concerned.

There will be no problem at all to increase production by [-]% next year, if planted properly.

It is entirely possible to increase production by [-]%.

As the big granary of the entire Wu Dynasty, Liangzhou increased its harvest by [-]%.

Absolutely can completely support, the next possible series of battles of the Wu Dynasty.

The war of the extraordinary is fought on talent and strength.

But the war under the extraordinary is about logistics and background.

Without food, what do you fight for?

However, the appearance of Min Si and the farm family completely solved the logistics problem.

After being silent for a while, Ning Chen asked Emperor Shun: "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"

Emperor Shun said to Ning Chen seriously, "I have no intention to pass on the throne, but I hope you can assist Zhao'er to secure the throne."

Ning Chen couldn't understand this.

Emperor Shun still has a remnant soul, so he can make a decree to determine who will take over his throne.

Don't you just wait to see your children kill each other by playing such a trick?

"I'm a faint king, wouldn't it be very normal for me not to leave such a will?" Emperor Shun asked Ning Chen back.

When he was dying, he still thought about conforming to the human design.

Emperor Shun can be considered hard enough.

Of course, Ning Chen can also guess about Emperor Shun's true intentions.

Emperor Shun did such a thing in line with the human design, just to buy a little more time for the Wu Dynasty and the human race.

It doesn't matter if you let the monster race or the barbarian race.

We can look forward to the civil strife in the human race and the four kings vying for the throne.

Ning Chen felt that in Emperor Shun's life, he did the best job of raising expectations.

Even if he died, he would be able to fill up the sense of anticipation.

But Emperor Shun did this, and there was one thing that made Ning Chen unhappy.

Ning Chen asked Emperor Shun with a dark face: "Your Majesty, are you really a worthy minister?"

Emperor Shun smiled slightly and said: "I, of course I regard you as my minister, the most capable minister around me. Otherwise, why should I persist until I see you for the last time?"

Ning Chen didn't even believe a single punctuation mark.

Just now Ning Chen thought Emperor Shun was a good person.

Looking at it now, Emperor Shun is really a wonderful person.

At least for Ning Chen, that was really great.

Emperor Shun, a person who maintained the image of a faint emperor when he was dying, lost Zhongliang at the last moment.

Just waiting to see myself, a courtier.

Think about what those Zhongliang would think of themselves.

When the time comes to hold the funeral for Emperor Shun, it will be more extravagant.

On the one hand, the image of sitting on the emperor and the faint emperor makes everyone think it.

The reason why Emperor Shun saw Ning Chen last was to explain these extravagant things.

On the other hand, you can also take a solid look at Ning Chen's reputation as a courtier.

Kill two birds with one stone, if you don't lose money, I will also make a lot of money.

It was a very deliberate choice for both parties.

"Thank you for your majesty's appreciation. I will do my best to do my duty as a virtuous minister, and I will never disappoint your majesty." Ning Chen saluted seriously.

After accepting Ning Chen's worship, Emperor Shun also said to Ning Chen: "My time is up, just remember what I told you."

"Have you not seen His Highness Wu Zhao?" Ning Chen asked, looking at Shun Emperor who was already beginning to feel illusory.

Emperor Shun shook his head and said, "It's gone. I'm going to see my elder brother and my father."

After saying that, Emperor Shun disappeared with kindness and satisfaction in his eyes.

Looking at Emperor Shun who had disappeared in front of him, Ning Chen picked up a glass of wine that Emperor Shun hadn't had time to drink, spilled it all on the ground, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

After finishing all this, Ning Chen returned to the altar with the uneaten roast chicken.

Putting the roast chicken back on the altar, Ning Chen replaced the burnt three sticks of incense with new ones.

After doing all this, Ning Chen pushed open the door of Zichen Palace and left Zichen Palace.

"Uncle Champion, Your Highness and General Bai are waiting for you in the side hall." Sun Banban, who had been guarding the door, said respectfully to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen nodded, and said to Sun Banban: "Take me to see His Highness, Emperor Shun is gone."

When Sun Banban heard Ning Chen say that Emperor Shun had left, he froze there.

With Emperor Shun gone, Wu Dynasty and Human Race will start a new chapter.

However, this new chapter will definitely not be a harmonious chapter.

　This chapter can be regarded as the last chapter of this volume, and it is time to open a new chapter for the human race and the Wu Dynasty.At the same time, this chapter can be regarded as an ending and an explanation for Emperor Shun who appeared at the beginning. . .Tomorrow's New Year's Eve happens to open the third volume tomorrow, good night everyone. . .
