People sit in the southern sky and watch the ages

Chapter 273 Feast of Immortals

In the world of Dazhou, the cold winter has come, and the sky is full of snow like goose feathers.

The emperor also moved back to the capital from the palace on Mount Tai. In the imperial study room, the stove was lit up, and the delicate and beautiful peonies reflected the study room as if it were a spring day.

Half a year has passed, and the young emperor has grown a lot in height, approaching an adult, but his body is still a bit thin and frail.

However, unlike the rumors that the Queen of Heaven is good at governing, in the past six months, the Queen of Heaven has gradually handed over many documents to the emperor to handle personally, and there is a tendency to return to power.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty naturally noticed this trend, and there was an endless stream of voices proclaiming the saint.

"The Yi clan in Luocheng shines with colorful rays of light. The next day, the entire clan sacrifices to the Lord of Luohe Water.

The eunuch accompanied the reader and read the memorial in a low voice. The young emperor frowned and couldn't help pressing his temple.

In the past six months, the world seemed to be calm, and even the imminent battle between the Great Zhou and the Jiangnan Five Surnames stopped.

On the one hand, it was because Fanyang Lu and Jinling Wang, among the five surnames in the south of the Yangtze River, took refuge in Dazhou, pardoned and conferred kings with different surnames, which disintegrated the aggressive offensive of the five surnames in the south of the Yangtze River.

On the other hand, in the past six months, there have been constant incidents of immortals and Buddhas. It seems that overnight, the world has returned to the wild age, not to mention those famous schools, such as Shushan Sword Sect, Bodhi Court, and Xingxiu Temple. Even in various prefectures and counties, as long as the luck of humanity accumulates, there will be immortal Buddhas trying to come to this world with the blessing of humanity.

This also made Da Zhou more cautious, although now it seemed that he could take down Cui Mingcang who had lost the Son of Heaven Sword, completely end the situation of arbitrariness across the river, and rule the world as long as he sent troops.

But in fact, apart from the Mongolian country in the north, all the governments in the world have a tendency to rise from the land for a while.

Moreover, Qin Tianjian has clearly stated that troubled times are approaching, and Ziwei is shaken slightly.

Is there any way to solve the immediate problem?
The young emperor subconsciously looked at a heroic young man in Tsing Yi and a silver seal on his waist, cupped his hands and asked, "Li Zhonglang, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Li Changqing put the pen in his hand back on the inkstone stand, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "The important weapon of the country is only sacrificed to the Rong, and the Luohe Yi family privately sacrificed, so they should be reprimanded. ..."

Just after Li Changqing finished speaking, another Zhong Shulang beside him hurriedly got up and said, "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

This Zhongshu Lang was in his 30s, a good-looking talent, and came from a famous family. These days of official business, he probably understood Li Changqing's habits in dealing with people.

As long as it is based on facts, Li Fashan, who is rumored to have killed the Earth Immortal True Monarch, will not overwhelm others with power.

The young emperor looked at each other, "Chen Zhonglang, what's your opinion?"

Chen Zhonglang rationalized his thoughts and said, "Although Li Zhonglang's words are reasonable, there are not many gods and Buddhas in the world today. In order to avoid the rejection of the world's will, they will rely on human luck. If there are only one or two Venerable Earth Immortal, with the national power of Great Zhou, of course he is not afraid."

"But now that the Luohe Yi family has been dealt with, do other schools need to be dealt with? On a larger scale, do those Shushan Sword Sects and the immortal Buddhas who descended from Xingxiu Temple need to be dealt with?"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhonglang paused, and there was some meaning in his words, "What's more, although the Cui clan's thieves are on the decline, they still hold most of the land in the south of the Yangtze River. You can ride."

The companion reading too listened to this, and couldn't help holding his breath.

Li Changqing, Li Zhonglang and the Cui family are friends, this is something that everyone in the world knows, Li Changqing is now admonishing to take back the power of sacrifice, and to be an enemy of the immortal Buddha descending from the sky, it is very likely that it is to help the Cui family get a chance to breathe.

You Tianzi had a slight headache, he observed Li Changqing, the expression of this book-holder remained unchanged, as if he didn't know that Chen Zhonglang was insinuating.

In the past six months, working by his side, the young emperor obviously found that this man of five virtues seemed to be perfunctory. Although he answered all questions, they seemed to be in the middle way. Think 'too simple'.

For example, regarding the problem of the Luohe Yi family, he knew that he couldn't do it across the board, but this Li Zhonglang directly wanted to cut down the mountain and destroy the temple, and he didn't care about it at all.

After pondering for a while, the young emperor said, "I'll discuss this matter later, I'm a little tired, so please step back first, dear friends."

In the imperial study room, several Zhongshu Lang got up, saluted slightly, and then filed out.

Chen Zhonglang caught up with Li Changqing who was striding away, cupped his hands and said, "Li Zhonglang, I was just talking about the facts, don't take it to heart."

It is impossible for Chen Zhonglang not to worry about the other party's retaliation, alluding to a big man who can kill the earth immortal. Besides, this Changqing Taoist is rumored to have a bad temper.

But he had to speak just now, because there was an exiled immortal in their Chen family, but they hadn't started to plan for the support of humanity and luck.

Li Changqing turned his head and smiled slightly, "Of course."

Then, ignoring the other Zhongshu Lang who followed up, he strode away from the Forbidden Palace.

On the other side, the young emperor took the little yellow gate to the Taining Palace, which is the permanent residence of the Queen of Heaven.

After paying respects and greetings, the young emperor turned his back, considered his words and said, "Mother, Li Zhonglang seems to have two minds."

Tianhou's expression remained unchanged. Now that she was gradually handing over the documents in her hands to the Young Emperor, she also took a break, playing with peonies in the Taining Palace.

"why do you say so?"

The young emperor hurriedly explained Li Changqing's questions and answers in the imperial study today, and then he was a little angry, "For the past six months, I have been treating him as a teacher and asking his opinion first in everything, but he doesn't seem to want it. Help me!"

Tianhou looked at the angry young emperor and shook her head slightly, "In this matter, Li Zhonglang's suggestion is not wrong. The most important weapon of the country is the priest and the Rong, and the Luohe Yi clan privately sacrifices. Felony, deserves to be punished."

The young emperor was a little surprised, "The queen also thinks it should be punished?"

The Queen of Heaven smiled, "Do you still remember when the City God was established?"

The young emperor nodded slightly.

"I knew it was right to set up the City God back then, but I couldn't do it. It could only make Wei Xiaodi Yinluo Tianzi come out on top. The crusade against private sacrifices is also the same."

"The same?"

The young emperor was thoughtful.

"We have a different perspective from that Taoist Changqing, and the way of natural selection is also different. He is full-fledged now. Although he is not a celestial immortal, he is better than a celestial immortal, so even if he faces the banished immortals from outside the territory, he will not be afraid of it." fear."

"More importantly, he took the position of Longkoudu City God, but with his ambition and methods, the position of Longkoudu City God is obviously not enough for him."

"I heard that he has a beloved apprentice who is now cleaning up the disasters left by the old man of Baigu Mountain in Tianzhu Mountain. After the death energy is completely eliminated, I am afraid that he will be able to ascend to the realm of the Three Calamities True Monarch."

"The most important thing is that his beloved apprentice has a dragon body and holds a dragon gate. Naturally, he wants to gather the luck of the world's water gods, and the Luohe god's position is private, which obviously touches his core interests."

Hearing this, the young emperor gritted his teeth and said, "He wants to use us for personal gain? Why doesn't he say that he has a private god?"

Tianhou didn't have much resentment, she smiled, "He is not a private god, have you forgotten the decree I gave at Longkoudu?"

The young emperor looked a little embarrassed. In order to call the world's young talents to station at Longkoudu, the Empress issued a military merit examination system, so that those who have made great achievements can claim their priesthood.

Whether it is Li Changqing, or his Palace Master of Fengze Dongquan named Aoyue, they have truly made contributions to the world and received the priesthood. No matter from the point of view of law or morality, they cannot be regarded as wrong.

"But he······"

The young emperor was still a little confused, but he couldn't think of words to refute for a while.

After finishing with a pot of peonies, Tianhou walked to the side of the young emperor, "I did make a big mistake when it came to Longkou Ferry."

"I didn't expect that Li Changqing could get to this point so quickly that he lost the best opportunity to recruit him. Now he is only using his teacher Xu Sanyou's name to keep him in the palace. It is already too late to let him help Cui Mingcang. Fortunately, if you are too demanding on him, it will only make him go further and further away."

"Remember, for a king, happiness and anger should not be based on color."

The young emperor adjusted his mentality, came to understand, and said, "I understand, but these days I can't recruit Li Zhonglang no matter what method I use, and let him surrender sincerely, so I am a little anxious."

Tianhou looked out of the hall with deep eyes, "Actually, Li Zhonglang's opinion just now hides a second meaning, or it is the path he chose."

The young emperor focused his attention and asked curiously, "What way?"

Tianhou straightened the armor on her hand, "His strength is unfathomable now, even in the face of the gods and Buddhas, he can be the champion. Now that the Dazhou world is about to be upgraded, and there are many hidden secrets, he naturally wants to occupy the largest place." the benefits of."

"You said he has strength and plans, but now he hasn't done anything. What's the difference?"

The young emperor came to his senses in an instant, "It's a big mistake!"

"The important weapon of the country is the priest and the army. This is the righteousness he is waiting for! As long as he uses this righteousness, he can justifiably crusade against many descended immortals and drive them out of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he himself can obtain the greatest benefits." .”

"No wonder the other Zhongshu Lang didn't take the opportunity to throw this hard work to him after he made this suggestion in the hall today, because it would be right in his hands!"

Tianhou nodded, "That's true. He was willing to go to Beijing at the beginning. Apart from the fact that I used Xu Sanyou's name to force him, the more practical point is that I, Da Zhou, still hold the righteousness of the world."

"This is extremely important even for immortals and Buddhas. Otherwise, if the luck of humanity is constrained, no matter how powerful the supernatural power is, it will be rare."

"Today, Taoist Changqing proposed that 'the most important weapon of the country is the sacrifice and the army', which is to give our mothers a choice to conquer the world and sweep the universe."

Tianhou suppressed her smile, and her body burst out with arrogance, not angry and majestic, no less than a man.

The young emperor was also agitated when he heard it, and asked the most important question, "If he really sweeps up the world, will the world still belong to our Great Zhou?"

Tianhou had no doubts about this point, she replied, "Don't worry, this human being is in the world, and his path is not beneficial, he will not take it arbitrarily, if we really choose this path, Taoist Changqing will naturally not have two minds , will assist you wholeheartedly."

Then she couldn't help sighing, "Conquering the world and sweeping up the universe is easier said than done."

The young emperor looked at his mother suspiciously.

Tianhou explained, "If the Great Zhou is at stake now, or if we are just one of the princes fighting for the dragon, of course I will directly bet on Taoist Changqing without hesitation."

"But we are not without a way out now, and we even have a lot of choices. With so many choices, we are betting on Changqing Daoist alone. As an enemy, I dare not bet, at least I can't bet all on him alone."

The young emperor nodded thoughtfully. After all, fighting the world is different from sitting in the world.

Conquering the world requires a brave and indomitable drive, but what is needed to conquer the world is a plan that advances and retreats.

"What does mother mean?"

The Queen of Heaven didn't answer directly, but asked instead, "My Great Zhou holds the orthodox sacrifice of humanity, but do you know why those immortals and Buddhas don't directly join my Da Zhou, but are willing to choose a prominent family who controls a place?"

The young emperor was startled, he only realized this now, in the past six months, immortals and Buddhas have come to the world, but it seems that apart from Li Changqing, no other immortals and Buddhas took the initiative to seek refuge in Da Zhou.

"They are also afraid of losing!"

Tianhou said firmly, "Dazhou masters human sacrifices. If Dazhou directly pardons them, then the immortals and Buddhas from outside the territory don't have to worry about the world's will. However, if they are sealed by Dazhou, they will directly fight with us Due to the entanglement of luck, if Dazhou is really destroyed overnight, even the immortals who live in the world may be in danger."

"In comparison, famous families from all over the world are much better. Although coming to the world requires more planning, it is easier to escape. It may be that they will continue to uphold the merits of the dragon and make a big step forward in the way of the earth immortal."

After listening to Tianhou's deduction, the young emperor's face became ugly, "I have a good week, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and there is a mother who sits in the town, and the eyes of those immortals and Buddhas from outside the territory are not very good!"

The Queen of Heaven smiled, "Maybe we can take a look at how good these immortal Buddhas are."

"What does the queen mother mean?"

"I want to hold a banquet for the immortals. When the time comes, I will invite these immortals and Buddhas from outside the territory to Beijing. Naturally, I can distinguish the good from the bad and their thoughts."

"As for those foreign immortals and Buddhas with evil intentions, they should be punished!"

The young emperor's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good idea, splitting the immortals and Buddhas who came from outside the territory, and using Li Changqing's sharp sword to attack, Da Zhou will naturally be able to grasp the righteousness and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

He said excitedly, "Queen, I want Li Zhonglang to host this feast of immortals."

Tianhou nodded and said, "Yes."
