Thirteen Taixu Illusions (Complete Book)
In the early summer of Wuzheng's 60th year, Longshou Palace and small garden.
A tall figure stood silently among the flowers. His snow-white hair was slightly messy in the gentle warm wind. He was dressed in a military uniform without any wrinkles. His once handsome face could not hide the traces of time. Looking at the "Glass Crystal Palace" in front of me with a bitter expression, I stood there for half the morning.
Of course he is Zhou Yang, Emperor Wuzheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty and recognized as the most powerful person in the world. This year, he is 81 years old.
"Father!" After standing behind him for nearly a full moment without being ignored, the current Emperor of Zhou Kang, Zhou Kang, greeted him with a wry smile.
"Huh -" Zhou Yang breathed a long sigh of relief, then turned and looked behind him, "I read the battle report you sent. Has the war in Tianzhu been settled?"
"Father, it has been completely pacified." Zhou Kang replied respectfully, "According to your original opinion, all wars are only aimed at the upper class, and there is no difference between the people below and our own people. Basically, starting from ten years ago, we The only opponents on the battlefield are the puppets supported by the red-haired people, and their combat power does not matter at all.
However, our army still followed your instructions, step by step, and every territory must be thoroughly cleaned up before discussing the next step. This delayed the war for a full 20 years. Just two months ago, that is, the battle report On the day they were sent back, the Tianzhu Field Army and the Marine Corps of Gemstone Island officially joined forces. "
"The garrison troops are also in place?" Zhou Yang asked calmly.
"Don't worry, all ten army regiments are in place. Each one has a size of eight to one hundred thousand. They farm in peacetime and fight in wartime. Each regiment can guarantee to integrate a fully-formed regiment and camp within three days, and one month. We guarantee that all men of suitable age will be armed, and all of them will use the percussion rifles we retired." Zhou Kang replied quickly.
"In other words, our army has all replaced metal rifles with fixed ammunition?" Zhou Yang nodded and continued to ask, "Do you have any plans for the rapid-fire guns and the rapid-fire guns I mentioned?"
"We have samples, but they are not yet mature. We can only try them out at the testing site." Zhou Kang replied with a smile.
"No other sounds?" Zhou Yang's tone suddenly turned cold.
"This -" Zhou Kang's heart suddenly suddenly thought, and he said after thinking for a moment, "Father, there are indeed voices of opposition. The main reason is that the red-haired people are still using our obsolete percussion rifles and even flintlock rifles. Our army's equipment The single-shot rifle with a custom metal cartridge case is already a crushing advantage, so there is no need.”
"The leader of the Nine Clan's Execution Tribe, beheaded all the members of the family, and beheaded blindly." Zhou Yang interrupted him coldly, "Have you forgotten what I said to you again?"
"If the empire is unwilling to provide military expenses to the army, it is preparing money for the next defeat." Zhou Kang said without hesitation.
"Remember, running a country is like running a family. Whoever is making money for the family and whoever is working hard for the family should eat the best and use the best." Zhou Yang said coldly, "If you lie down all day The family talks nonsense and even criticizes those who work or even work hard. There is no need to keep such things. There are still more than [-] million people in the empire who do not have enough to eat, and there is really no extra food to waste on these things."
"I understand, kid," Zhou Kang said with a wry smile.
"This is also a warning." Zhou Yang said coldly, "I have only retired for less than five years. Do those unimproved people in the Government Affairs Council think it's okay again? Remember, military affairs can only be handled by the Privy Council staff. The royal family will decide, who else dares to reach out, I will reunite the nine clans, and this will never be compromised; I also heard that there is something wrong with the imperial examination?"
"The Government Affairs Council believes that the imperial examination and the military examination have been added for nearly ten years. If the new Jinshi is physically qualified, it is absolutely fine." Zhou Kang quickly replied
"That's no problem." Zhou Yang nodded, and continued despite his son's stunned expression, "However, after all, they are from academic backgrounds. It does not mean that they can lead troops to fight with basic military manuals. Well, in this case, The Royal Army Command College in Beijing and the Royal Naval College in Jinmen Town and Luda Campus each offer advanced training courses.
It is of course possible for a person who is a Jinshi to join the army and serve in the army, but he must undergo one year of modification training before he can enter the army. After another one year of internship, he is allowed to be awarded titles and arrange positions according to the customs of the army—— Well, let's see, after all, it took two years. The award can be increased by half a level, but the appointment must be based on the standards for military school graduates. "
These bandanas still want to cause trouble, but they are probably out of their minds. They must not know that there is a modern way to join the army called "special recruitment". After two years of military school and military career, even those who came from the imperial examination will , either they can’t adapt to elimination, or they won’t remember the bullshit “everything is inferior”.
After 50 years of strong advancement, the army now has a very high prestige in the Great Zhou Empire. "Guarding the border for the country" is an absolute honor. "Why don't men wear Wu Gou" is basic common sense in the world. First-class talents are admitted to the military academy. , Only the second class will take the imperial examination. Of course, it is not so absolute, but this is roughly the procedure.
It is also for this reason that although Zhou Yang has long stopped the issuance of titles and the inheritance of all Spyker, the "military aristocracy" system with the royal family as its core and military academies as its branches has long been deeply rooted. , this is also the cornerstone of the army's absolute support for the royal family. If the army is stable, the country will naturally not be in chaos.
As the status of the army rose, the turbans had no choice but to go down. Therefore, over the past 50 years, they have repeatedly adopted various methods in an attempt to regain their former advantages. At the beginning, Zhou Yang needed to use a knife to solve the problem, but now it is basically There was no need for him to take action, and the Privy Council itself solved the problem through propaganda. After all, the common people should know which is more important without having to think about the soldiers bleeding on the front line or the big headscarves who talk nonsense at home.
"My child thinks it's okay, but I haven't figured out how to connect it. Father is still far-sighted." Zhou Kang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded immediately.
"Are you also deceived by those people in turbans, thinking that the army has always been so strong, which is not good for the country?" Zhou Yang smiled and patted his son on the shoulder, "Didn't the history books say that all dynasties were destroyed by weakness, and only the Han Dynasty was defeated by the weak?" Forced death, even if the whole world is in chaos, the princes are fighting endlessly, and anyone's soldiers and horses can defeat the foreign tribes in the North, causing heavy casualties.
The other one is the Tang army. Why is it always referred to as 'Han and Tang' when mentioning the military achievements of the dynasty now?Because the same is true for the Tang army. Most of the defeats in the late Tang Dynasty were due to the mess at the top, but the combat effectiveness of the army never really deteriorated. Although there were victories and defeats in the battles with Tubo and Uighur, the overall country's In front of these foreign races, I never lost my pride. Do you understand? "
"I understand, kid!" Zhou Kang replied quickly, but then said uneasily, "It's just that if this happens, the army will be indispensable."
"Then it depends on the ability of the royal family." Zhou Yang said lightly, "If you can suppress it, it will be passed on from generation to generation. If you can't suppress it, don't say anything. Either get out of the way and give up your position as soon as possible, or just be like the royal family of all dynasties. As long as they die honestly, I can think about the current affairs for them, but it is impossible to truly achieve 'oneness for all eternity'."
"This-" Zhou Kang was dumbfounded.
"Okay, the Privy Council specially sent this battle report to me. It shouldn't just be for good news, right?" Zhou Yang changed the topic impatiently.
"Father, what the Privy Council wants is to continue to the west." Zhou Kang could only follow his father's tone and said, "Didn't you say at the beginning that although the land further to the west is barren and barren, the underground is full of It’s oil—”
"Oh?" Zhou Yang's expression changed, "Any news on the internal combustion engine?"
"The Academy of Sciences has produced samples, but they cannot be mass-produced." Zhou Kang said helplessly, "After testing, all internal combustion engine samples have similar problems. The most suitable fuel is different oils extracted from petroleum, but The requirements for steel are too high. With the level of steel plants we have in various places, it is impossible to use them in a short time.”
"Then it will be used as a technical reserve first until the smelting level is improved. At this stage, the coal-fired steam engine is enough." Zhou Yang nodded, not entangled on this issue, "It's just that further west from Tianzhu, there is Tianfang In this area, it’s better not to stretch out your hands for the time being. Maybe we have no problem with military strength, but without people to immigrate, it’s useless to conquer them - what’s the current population of Da Zhou?”
"Father, it has exceeded [-] million." Zhou Kang replied proudly.
"It's not enough, at least double it." Zhou Yang stunned his son with one sentence, "The current people cover the Nanyang Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands at most, and even Tianzhu can't be stabilized. If you want to completely control Tianzhu, at least add more Ten million people, don’t think about Tianfang, for the time being, oil is not a necessity, wait for national power, especially manpower to come up—who is in charge of the Privy Council now?”
"It's Yuan Xian and Yuan Changshun." Zhou Kang replied immediately.
"What year?" Zhou Yang continued to ask.
"The second year of the first term."
"Then he can only be considered unlucky." Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Tell him that the two presidents should practice their internal skills, lay the foundation, and stop all large-scale external military activities. In the past ten years, the population has increased. [-] should be no problem, and we can continue to advance at that time, but it’s not completely idle—have you found the Nanyang Islands in the south?”
"I just found out. I didn't expect that my father's guess was right. There is really a huge land there. The most important thing is that the local aboriginal people are very primitive and are still in a state of ignorance. There are not many of them." Zhou Kang said excitedly, "Our people I also saw red-haired spies there and suppressed them easily."
"In the next ten years, we will focus our main efforts here. Anyway, there is no practical resistance there, and the resources are quite abundant. It won't take much effort to get it. It's just like hunting rabbits." Zhou Yang nodded, "Also, since the aboriginal people there are still very primitive, we should teach them well and absorb them. I believe that they will become our own people in less than 20 years."
"That's what my father said, and the Privy Council and the Government Council agreed upon the same idea after discussion." Zhou Kang replied with a smile.
"That's good. Speaking of the Privy Council -" Zhou Yang's heart moved, "You just said that the current military aircraft foreman's surname is Yuan?"
"Father, he is Uncle Yuan's second son." Zhou Kang understood what his father meant.
"It's a boy from Dongjie's (Yuan Xiu) family. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, these boys would also come up. I remember you and him were classmates?" Zhou Yang couldn't help laughing.
"Father, the two of us, three imperial brothers and brothers from other families were all admitted to the Royal Army Command Academy in Beijing in the 22nd year of Wu Zheng's reign." Zhou Kang said happily, "Two years ago, Uncle Yuan When we were leaving, we went to the Yuan family to see him off. My father specially issued a decree to reward the Yuan family and recalled Uncle Yuan’s original achievements."
"Yes, among the old brothers, Dongjie was the last one to leave, and it has been two years now." Zhou Yang's expression darkened, and he turned to look at the Glass Crystal Palace, "And they -"
"Father!" Zhou Kang said with a sad expression, "If the Queen Mother and all the other mothers and concubines are alive in heaven, I believe they would not want to see you like this."
"Huh—" Zhou Yang sighed, "In the 30th year of Wuzheng, your queen mother (Wang Shuying) was the first to leave. In less than three years, no one thought that Dongfang would be the second to leave. The old injuries from martial arts practice weakened the body year after year, until the 48th year of Wuzheng, when I asked you to take it, it happened that your mother (Princess Yongjing Guo Xuan) left not long ago, and until a few days ago, Lian. "
"Father!" Zhou Kang cried and knelt down, "I never thought that Concubine Xue (Baoqin) and Concubine Jia (Xichun) would leave so suddenly. It was obvious that they were only twenty years old. The day before I left, I was joking with my father and my children, why did it happen so suddenly?"
"Perhaps, they are really fairies in the sky. Now that the tribulation has been completed, have they gone back?" Zhou Yang looked bitterly at the glass "Crystal Palace". In addition to the flowers that bloom all year round, there are more than [-] flowers placed on the long tables. Twenty spiritual tablets, with familiar names on them, "Unfortunately, I don't know if they are happy because they will never see them again."
"Father, take care of yourself!" Zhou Kang couldn't help crying anymore.
"Okay, as the saying goes, 'You can't die young at fifty'. I'm over 80, and I can live a long life anyway. Why are you crying?" Zhou Yang sighed softly, "You don't have to worry about it after I die. Daban, I have also seen the mausoleum. Your mother and the other mothers and concubines have been arranged according to the courtyard of the palace, covering a total area of less than one acre.
Remember, no expansion is allowed, and no valuable burial objects are allowed. I can just put them in together after I die. There is no need to do anything 'closed' or 'secret'. The tomb can be opened directly. You can do it whenever you are free. Go over and take a look. Don't worry about 'tomb robbing' or anything like that. Aren't there guards stationed there? "
"Father, don't worry, my child understands!" Zhou Kang cried.
"Okay, don't waste time in my old man's yard. Go and do your work. Taking good care of our Zhou family is your greatest filial piety." Zhou Yang sighed and waved his hand to signal his son to leave, "Also, I will never Do you allow bullshit like 'everything is inferior except for reading' to continue to exist in this world? Do you understand?"
"Child, never forget!" Zhou Kang got up and replied seriously.
"The railway must be pushed forward unswervingly to ensure that it covers Korea and the Northeast in the north, all the way to the southern tip of the Nanyang Peninsula in the south, and Congling in the west. These will be the basic foundation of China in the future. If future generations lose even an inch, the world Everyone in the world can get it and kill it!" Zhou Yang said with a cold tone, "On the contrary, you might as well entrust Tianzhu and Nanyang Islands, as well as the areas to the west of Tianzhu and south of Nanyang Islands, to entrust them.
Now that there are so many people in the family, it makes no sense to keep them all in the country. Nanyang Islands can just select some larger ones with better conditions to be enfeoffed. Tianzhu and the area west of Tianzhu and south of Nanyang Islands can express their decree and enfeoff to those who have merit. Officials of the opposite sex, such as Tianzhu, can actually enfeoff more than a dozen princes and kings, as long as they are nominally subordinate to China. "
"I'll discuss it with you brothers when I get back." Zhou Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because with the level of governance in this era, it is really difficult to keep "overseas territories", "On the other hand, Goryeo, I met King Xue of Ryukyu a few days ago. Brother, he has now wiped out Kyushu and Shikoku among the four islands of Japan, but including the main island of Ryukyu, they are too barren, so I just thought "
"Take Goryeo? Tell him to get lost." Zhou Yang snorted disdainfully, "It's normal for overseas lands to be uncontrollable. Is there any reason to give up the land connected to the mainland? Tell him to honestly develop the sea by himself - -Forget it, send some people to help him and help him take down the entire four Japanese islands. From now on, they will be our maritime barrier east of China.
You should also be careful, expand the naval power of Ryukyu, and find a suitable area in the east ocean, roughly in the middle of the ocean, leaving a Chinese foothold and outpost, plus the Nanyang Islands and From now on, among all the countries in Tianzhu, China will be completely protected, and the entire population will be culturally connected. This is also the mission of the Zhou Dynasty! "
"My child understands!" Zhou Kang said with a serious salute.
"That's good." Zhou Yang turned around again, his eyes completely falling on the glass crystal palace, as if there was nothing else around him.
On April 60, the 22th year of Wu Zheng's reign, Emperor Wu Zheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Yang, passed away. The whole country in the Great Zhou Dynasty wept bitterly. However, in accordance with his will, the body was sent directly to the already built mausoleum. Everything was as usual everywhere, even the tombs were opened directly, and the people were speechless for a while.
However, in places they didn't know, there was another change.
"Brother Zhou?" I don't know how much time had passed, but a familiar female voice sounded in his ears. Zhou Yang slowly opened his eyes in confusion, only to see a bright girl's face almost touching his nose. When he opened his eyes, he still... He kissed her gently with a smile, "My little sister, I thought I couldn't wait long, but I didn't expect that I still had to wait for nearly half a month. You really can survive!"
"Baoqin?" Zhou Yang was confused for a moment, then shook his head, "No, I gave it to you personally a few days ago."
"It's true, Brother Zhou, he can't even part with a better tomb, a dark and cold stone house, and he doesn't want to think about people who are timid and scared." Another familiar female voice was holding hands with the first figure and joking at this time. , "Sister Qin, do you think he is too stingy? He was careless when he was alive, and he is careless when he is dead!"
"Fourth girl? You are not..." At this time, Zhou Yang finally "awakened" and looked at the two familiar girls in front of him in disbelief, and——
"Kekeke——" "Hehehehe——"
Not far behind the two of them, the girls who had formed a half-circle seemed to be in full bloom. Their beautiful smiles all focused on him, and they all looked familiar. Not to mention Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai in the middle, on the left They are Shi Xiangyun, Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing, and on the right are the remaining Sanchun and Li Wan.
Behind these "official gold hairpins" are Zhen Yinglian, Xing Xiuyan, Ping'er, Qingwen, Xueyan, Ying'er, Suyun and other girls. They don't look "dead" at all, and they all look at them with smiles. He was surrounded by himself, and even the most loyal maid, Qingwen, didn't have the slightest intention of "serving" at this time, and just covered her mouth and snickered.
"Brother Zhou, we've had a hard time waiting for you!" Finally, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai came up to them with smiles and hugged someone's arms. "None of the sisters thought that they could be like this after death. Shengjing, it’s a pity that the time difference between us is too long, it took nearly 30 years to get together, and now I’m missing you.”
"It turns out that there really is this place -" Zhou Yang did not answer, but looked up at a white marble archway with the four characters "Taixu Illusion" written on it, as well as a couplet on both sides. It reads, "When the false is true, the truth is also false, and there is nothing but nothingness." "You are also true."
"It seems that the woman who claims to be the 'Violent Fantasy Fairy' is not lying. You do know this place and she is really a visitor from outside the world." Lin Daiyu gave him an annoyed look and said, "No wonder there are so many women in the world. You just focused on Rong Ning's second house and several families with whom you are related. It turns out that you had a premeditated plan."
"This—" Zhou Yang was speechless in embarrassment.
"Let's go, go back to the house to talk no matter what." Xue Baochai saw his embarrassment and gave Lin Daiyu a gentle slap. A group of girls turned around the archway and saw a tall palace gate not far away. There is a plaque with the four words "Nie Hai Qing Tian" written on it, and there is also a couplet on the left and right, "Thick earth and high sky, we can lament the endless love in ancient and modern times; crazy men and resentful women, poor romantic debts that are difficult to repay."
"Sister Lin, Sister Bao, if we don't count the so-called 'Violent Fantasy Fairy' and her group of fairy maids, just talking about the family, the two of you should be the top ones." Scanning the plaque and couplet with some disgust, Zhou Yang frowned and asked, "Since you have lived here for nearly 30 years, haven't you thought about changing it?"
"Brother Zhou said it lightly. It wasn't us who made the decision here yesterday. When I heard that you were coming over, that 'Alarm Fantasy Fairy' ran away reluctantly. She said, 'You can't be contaminated by resentment in the world of mortals, and it will break down if you're not careful. Practice'." Xue Baoqin on the side curled her lips disdainfully, "Before you came, she also advised us to say 'give up some romantic debts and stay here with her to seek righteousness', it was simply a crazy idea."
"She's not the only one here, right?" Zhou Yang continued to ask.
"It was definitely more than that when we first came here." Li Wan, the first among the Jin Chai people to come over, said with a smile.
"When you first came here?" Zhou Yang's expression changed, and he glanced around subconsciously. Only when he saw that there was no one else did he look at Xue Baochai, "Sister Bao, the first one to come here should be..."
"You..." Xue Baochai's cheeks turned red. He pushed him away and went back to the hall, leaving the other Jinchai to laugh at them. But after they finished laughing, they all followed him into the hall. Soon, Zhou Yang was beside him. Only Lin Daiyu and Xue Baoqin were left.
"They're all here!" A certain princess rolled her eyes at him, but she still explained kindly, "I heard that the police fantasy fairy said that only those who were registered here could come here, and the aunt and several other sisters couldn't come here originally. , but because of your relationship, all the sisters in the family couldn't be separated anymore, so they reluctantly accepted it.
It was also when the eldest uncle came here that the sisters came one by one. There were many fairies and fairies who originally stayed here, but they all ran away one after another. I heard from Sister Wan that the fairies who spent most of their time here were the ones serving here. Bai, the only one left running slowly is the police fairy. Yesterday, she heard that you were coming and she was scared to run away. "
"Um, I remember there are 36 people in total on the book. Not all of them have entered our house, right?" Zhou Yang asked puzzledly.
"Hmph!" As soon as these words came out, Sister Lin and Xue Baoqin glanced at each other, Qiqi threw him away and entered the hall, leaving only someone who was embarrassed; he didn't care about thinking twice, and quickly walked a few steps into the hall , but at the door, he was confused and looked stupidly at the girls standing on both sides.
This time, except for Jin Chai who was on the "book", other girls who were "not in the book" also gathered together. It happened that the two sides were "separated". The first ones were naturally Princess Guo Rong of Yongchang, Princess Guo Xuan of Yongjing, and Queen Mother Li Hong. Following closely behind, there were sisters Zhao Qiying, Zhao Yanling and Wang Shuying. This time the family finally gathered together - well, wait a minute, the one next to Wang Xifeng is
"Qiao'er has met my father!" The only girl "registered" but a generation below her is naturally his and Wang Xifeng's daughter Qiao Jie.
"Here? Find a place to sit down by yourself." Only Her Royal Highness Princess Yongchang was so arrogant. She waved her hands casually and sat down on her own. The other girls also smiled and took their seats. The only problem was that there were no chairs. ——That's not right either. Zhou Yang clearly saw that there was another seat facing north and south in the middle of the hall.
"You guys!" Zhou Yang smiled and strode to the seat. After looking at it for a while, he turned around and slowly sat on the seat.
"Buzz -" It seemed like an instant, and it seemed like 1 years. A large amount of news was poured into his mind at the same time as he sat down. However, there was no feeling of pain or discomfort. Instead, there was a feeling of "I see." "The moment I woke up, I finally understood what the problem was.
"Brother Zhou knows?" Lin Daiyu, the leader of the golden hairpins, said with a smile.
"You guys are so heartless!" Zhou Yang glared at the girls below angrily, causing laughter.
"Ziyang, don't laugh." Li Wan smiled and patted Wang Xifeng's Qiaojie, who covered her mouth and ran out of the hall with a smile, before continuing, "I am the first to come here with so many sisters on the list. At that time, Fairy Jing Huan also lied to me and said that I was originally a fairy who had gone through calamities, and I should have kept my chastity and self-cleaning all my life, so that I could recover my identity after returning. It was because you destroyed my innocence that I could no longer enter the fairy gate, unless "
"I'll die!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Yes, we were originally innocent fairies in the fantasy world, but we could live forever in the world of mortals. However, if we were deceived by someone and we were sincere and dirty, how could we go back to the old days." Xue Baoqin's voice was so loud. Calling someone miserable made all the girls in the hall laugh out loud, "It's such an injustice, it's really snowing in June!"
"Damn you, what are you talking about?" , how is it possible to be 'innocent'? Fortunately, Sister Wan has been in the palace for many years and has long developed the Royal Dragon Qi, sharing it with Brother Zhou. No matter how good the Jing Huan is, he can only talk nonsense in an attempt to deceive the sisters. , but didn’t have the guts to do anything.”
"In ancient times, the three realms of heaven, earth and man were connected. There was the emperor in the heaven, the earth in the earth, and the emperor in the human realm. There was no distinction between the three. The power of the emperor was not something she could interfere with." Zhou Yang said with a sneer, "This The Fang World only belongs to Xiaoqian, and does not even have a heaven or an underworld. Only the 'Taixu Illusion Realm' is a supernatural existence that barely suppresses the destiny of the world.
Jing Huan Fairy is not a god, she is just a small immortal. She was lucky enough to find this ownerless world, so she tried to speed up her cultivation by controlling the whole world. However, she was ruined by me, an outsider. She could have played tricks on her. He tried his best to get rid of me, but he didn't expect that although this world does not have the Dao of Heaven, it is not without a soul. "
"Yes, I have never thought that there really is a 'treasure book' in this world that can control the fate of others." Princess Yongchang played with a golden book, flipped through it and threw it to Zhou Yang, " But the person who makes me most angry is actually the person on the list."
"Many are just maids and slaves, but there is no our eldest princess!" Xue Baoqin jumped into the arms of Princess Yongchang with a smile and made trouble, "I'm so angry!"
"Hmph!" Princess Yongchang rubbed Xue Baoqin's bun and said dissatisfied, "So what? No wonder you are all 'immortal'. It turns out that in the so-called 'Twelve Beauties of Jinling' book, you should have died long ago. , there is nothing in destiny after the age of 30, so naturally there is no way to grow old."
"You will still die because your soul is immortal, but your body has its limits. The reason for your death is that your body cannot bear it anymore, so everyone on the list will only die without a disease, because there is no 'cause of death' in your destiny, only If you beat the 'death date', you will be free from illness and disaster." Zhou Yang casually flipped through the "Authentic Book of the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling" in his hand, threw it on the ground with disdain and stepped on it a few times, " It is purely for recording purposes and has no other value.
Fortunately, there are spirits in the world, and they have recognized you as the elves of this world. No wonder I am so lucky. It turns out that after getting you, I was able to almost "change my destiny against the will of heaven", so that I was so lucky that it was almost child's play to win the throne. , this is also how Fang Tiandi takes care of you. With the protection of my dragon energy, Fairy Jinghuan doesn’t even have the courage to do anything, so she can only run away in the end. "
"It's a pity that the power of my Guo family has been lost in such a mysterious way!" Princess Yongchang said quietly, causing all the "registered" Jinchai to laugh out loud.
"Princess, you have to be conscientious when speaking. If Brother Zhou didn't rely on the emperor's dragon spirit to link you with us, and just made up the number of Double Twelve, which is the so-called 'main book' and 'secondary book', where would you be?" Can you come over?" Xue Baochai retorted dissatisfiedly, "Besides, without Brother Zhou's elite firearms soldiers, how can the remnants of the slave establishment in Baishan and Heishui be wiped out? Sooner or later, the Guo family will still be taken over."
"Your hoof, you probably forgot the superiority and inferiority. It seems that I need to teach you the rules." The unreasonable Princess Yongchang simply got up, ran to Xue Baochai's side and hugged her, and resorted to all kinds of means. "Xue Shidu, accept the punishment well!"
Seeing the girls laughing and joking, Zhou Yang remembered the number "double twelve" mentioned by Xue Baochai just now, and counted it silently in his mind——
Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing, Sichun and Li Wan, this is the "main volume", Xue Baoqin, Zhen Yinglian, Xing Xiuyan, Ping'er, Qingwen, Ying'er and Suyun are considered the "auxiliary volume", Guo Rong, Guo Xuan, Li Hong, and Dongfang Bing are from the royal family, followed closely by Wang Shuying and sisters Zhao Qiying and Zhao Yanling, exactly 24.
Well, my dear daughter Qiao Jie was originally on the "official list", and she should have been calculated according to this when she came. Later she lost her position because she was "uncontrollable", but her mother is Wang Xifeng and her father is herself, so she still has enough " "Backstage" to stabilize his identity, and considering that now all the official and auxiliary members have become his own people in the house, his daughter should be regarded as the "additional head".
"Brother Zhou, have you figured it out?" Not mentioning the squabbles over there, Shi Xiangyun ran to him with a smile and Sister Sichun, pointed to the girls in the main hall and said, "The people have always praised you, Emperor Wuzheng, for not opening your eyes all your life. Through the 'general election' or 'minor election' to enrich the palace, you don't know that there are many sisters in the family!"
"You!" Zhou Yang stood up with some embarrassment, hugged Sister Yun and said, "It seems that the ten of you plus Rong'er and Xuan'er are the new 'official list'. The others are named Honghong and Qin. The girl, the leader, has gathered enough 'Supplementary Books', but I don't know that there is another 'Further supplementary book', how can I get it together, where have they gone?"
"Why, Brother Zhou still wants to get it together?" Sisters Zhao Yanling and Zhao Qiying came over dissatisfied. The third heroine Zhao didn't forget to hit someone and said, "That would be a pity. Seeing the 'official book' on the ground Is it? There is also a 'sub-volume' that Qiaojie took away, saying that she wanted to see if her name would appear on it.
As for the 'Additional Supplementary Book', after the two princesses came over, they were so full of dragon energy that the Fairy Jinghuan could not withstand the pressure and sealed it up. Not to mention that Qingwen and Ying'er were originally in the Secondary Book, but they have been serving you, and the same Possessing dragon energy, how can a so-called "magic weapon" that can only control a "maid girl" be trapped?In the end, the booklet was simply destroyed. "
"So, many of the 'extraordinary' means that I should have had were all because of your luck and protection. In the end, I couldn't use them on me. Later, I simply couldn't handle the general trend of the world and slowly withdrew from the world." Zhou Yang nodded and understood. In the past, he spent 50 years vigorously promoting the industrial development, or scientific development, of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As we all know, once "science" gained momentum, "theology" was out of the question.
"So, does Ziyang have any other questions?" Li Hong and Wang Shuying, who had been silent for a long time, came hand in hand, and also invited Princess Guo Xuan of Yongjing. "To be honest, although the scenery in this cave is beautiful, it is too boring. ”
"Last question, where is the 'psychic jade'?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Here it is!" Lin Daiyu threw it to him and said in a cold tone, "This Fangdongtian or the entire world has never had any connection with the so-called 'Western Spirit Mountain', let alone a 'spirit mountain'. "He', this jade pendant was made by the Jing Huan Fairy. Brother Bao was fascinated by this jade pendant, so he is her spy in the world."
"Real-time monitoring?" Zhou Yang shook his head speechlessly and said playfully, "I remember Jia Baoyu disappeared a long time ago."
"Jing Huan Fairy indeed brought him here, probably to convince us, but none of the sisters would care about him." Shi Xiangyun said disdainfully, "Seeing that it is of no use, we don't know where he was taken."
"Since the chess pieces are useless, you can imagine the fate." Zhou Yang sighed, "Since there is no underworld in this world, naturally there should be no souls, except for you 'registered golden hairpins' who are blessed by the 'Taixu Illusion Realm' Except, no one else will have it. Even I have benefited from you to form my own soul, Baoyu said."
"He was confused all his life and never lived a day of his own. It would be a kind of relief to get out of this sea of suffering as soon as possible." Yuan Chun, who had taken care of Jia Baoyu since childhood and had the deepest affection among the four springs, smiled bitterly. As for the other three springs, Jia Baoyu's Tortured by various "curious" news for decades, she has long since lost any feelings.
"That's all." Zhou Yang was even more indifferent to him, "The chair above is the core of this cave. Because the vigilante fairy who originally controlled it escaped, the cave became ownerless again. I just roughly completed it. 'Recognize the Lord', I'm just a little curious. After Jinghuan left, didn't you think about taking control?"
"Even we are yours, so what if you control us? I won't give it back to you when you come here." Guo Xuan curled her lips and said, "It's better to talk to each other as a family, so as not to ruin the friendship."
"Xuan'er!" Zhou Yang smiled and stepped forward to hug her, and then hugged Wang Shuying, who had never said a word, "What is control, what is the cave, nothing can compare with the harmony and beauty of a family; it's just that Honghong said something just now That’s right, even though this is the Immortal Cave, it’s still a bit boring after all, do you have any thoughts?”
"Then let's go to the lower world to play." Xichun, who loves to play the most, said with a smile, "Brother Zhou, now that the Zhou Dynasty is no longer under your control, who knows how far it can go? Anyway, idleness is idle, why don't we all continue Wouldn't it be more interesting to go down and have some fun, and come back and see you again a hundred years later?"
"Huh?" Xichun's words made everyone in the hall stunned.
"Dead hoof, if you lose your true nature and no one brings it back, wouldn't it be like ordinary people, whose souls will dissipate and be extinguished?" , "Is it possible that you still miss a sister?"
"Sisters?" Stay here just in case, and when you go down, stay with a few big connected families, and stay with Brother Zhou for the rest of your life."
"Is this okay?" Zhou Yang said stupidly, but found that the girls all showed excited expressions.
"No matter what, I don't want to be like this with Bao Yatou anymore." Wang Shuying rolled her eyes at someone and stepped forward to hug her daughter. Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, "What do you call the 'sister, sister' who you have abused all day long? It is better to be born as a pair of sisters in the next life, and avoid being laughed at and teased by outsiders."
"Your Majesty, we can't always be maids, right?" Qingwen pulled Ping'er, Xueyan and Ying'er and ran over, and even Zhen Yinglian followed behind with a blushing face, "I just don't dare to cross the mistresses, anyway. Consider me a concubine!”
"Ziyang, let us fight with you innocently." Li Wan hugged Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing, with a gentle smile on his pretty face. Even Wang Xifeng rarely lost his aggressive expression, "It's like a A piece of white paper with traces on it, even if it is bleached and makes people feel uncomfortable, it still looks clean."
"Although the surname of this world is Zhou, I don't want to just ignore it. If you let me manage it, maybe it will be better." A certain arrogant eldest princess obviously didn't give up and ran away with Guo Xuan, Li Hong and Dongfang Bing. When he arrived at someone's side, "Anyway, the Zetian Emperor Zhuyu is in front of you. I will reward you with personal service when the time comes. Even if Dongfang is my Shangguan Wan'er, why don't you thank me?"
"Brother Zhou, do you remember what you mentioned once?" Lin Daiyu blushed and pulled Xue Baochai up to someone. She rolled her eyes before saying, "Chai and Dai will serve together at the pinnacle of life?"
"Brother Zhou, we sisters don't dare to ask for anything else. At least we should start with a clean slate and be your woman with peace of mind." Tanchun pulled the other three springs with the same rudeness, "What are you adding? It’s upsetting to think about selling things, paying off debts, giving gifts, that sort of thing.”
"I want to be the main wife, no longer a concubine!" Xue Baoqin was straightforward, and naturally she was suppressed by Guo Xuan.
"Brother Zhou——" Shi Xiangyun hesitated for a moment, then knelt gently in front of Zhou Yang, "If there is an afterlife, my little sister would like to be born in a perfect family."
"Brother-in-law, where are we?" Zhao Yanling quickly pulled Zhao Qiying over.
"You are not afraid, so what am I afraid of?" Zhou Yang looked at the girls in front of him and couldn't help but laugh, "Well, let us never be separated again for the rest of our lives!"
"There is also Sister Qiao!" Wang Xifeng reminded quickly.
"I will never forget that my daughter is my old father's little cotton-padded jacket!" Zhou Yang couldn't help laughing!

postscript
Thirteen Taixu Illusions (Complete Book)
In the early summer of Wuzheng's 60th year, Longshou Palace and small garden.
A tall figure stood silently among the flowers. His snow-white hair was slightly messy in the gentle warm wind. He was dressed in a military uniform without any wrinkles. His once handsome face could not hide the traces of time. Looking at the "Glass Crystal Palace" in front of me with a bitter expression, I stood there for half the morning.
Of course he is Zhou Yang, Emperor Wuzheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty and recognized as the most powerful person in the world. This year, he is 81 years old.
"Father!" After standing behind him for nearly a full moment without being ignored, the current Emperor of Zhou Kang, Zhou Kang, greeted him with a wry smile.
"Huh -" Zhou Yang breathed a long sigh of relief, then turned and looked behind him, "I read the battle report you sent. Has the war in Tianzhu been settled?"
"Father, it has been completely pacified." Zhou Kang replied respectfully, "According to your original opinion, all wars are only aimed at the upper class, and there is no difference between the people below and our own people. Basically, starting from ten years ago, we The only opponents on the battlefield are the puppets supported by the red-haired people, and their combat power does not matter at all.
However, our army still followed your instructions, step by step, and every territory must be thoroughly cleaned up before discussing the next step. This delayed the war for a full 20 years. Just two months ago, that is, the battle report On the day they were sent back, the Tianzhu Field Army and the Marine Corps of Gemstone Island officially joined forces. "
"The garrison troops are also in place?" Zhou Yang asked calmly.
"Don't worry, all ten army regiments are in place. Each one has a size of eight to one hundred thousand. They farm in peacetime and fight in wartime. Each regiment can guarantee to integrate a fully-formed regiment and camp within three days, and one month. We guarantee that all men of suitable age will be armed, and all of them will use the percussion rifles we retired." Zhou Kang replied quickly.
"In other words, our army has all replaced metal rifles with fixed ammunition?" Zhou Yang nodded and continued to ask, "Do you have any plans for the rapid-fire guns and the rapid-fire guns I mentioned?"
"We have samples, but they are not yet mature. We can only try them out at the testing site." Zhou Kang replied with a smile.
"No other sounds?" Zhou Yang's tone suddenly turned cold.
"This -" Zhou Kang's heart suddenly suddenly thought, and he said after thinking for a moment, "Father, there are indeed voices of opposition. The main reason is that the red-haired people are still using our obsolete percussion rifles and even flintlock rifles. Our army's equipment The single-shot rifle with a custom metal cartridge case is already a crushing advantage, so there is no need.”
"The leader of the Nine Clan's Execution Tribe, beheaded all the members of the family, and beheaded blindly." Zhou Yang interrupted him coldly, "Have you forgotten what I said to you again?"
"If the empire is unwilling to provide military expenses to the army, it is preparing money for the next defeat." Zhou Kang said without hesitation.
"Remember, running a country is like running a family. Whoever is making money for the family and whoever is working hard for the family should eat the best and use the best." Zhou Yang said coldly, "If you lie down all day The family talks nonsense and even criticizes those who work or even work hard. There is no need to keep such things. There are still more than [-] million people in the empire who do not have enough to eat, and there is really no extra food to waste on these things."
"I understand, kid," Zhou Kang said with a wry smile.
"This is also a warning." Zhou Yang said coldly, "I have only retired for less than five years. Do those unimproved people in the Government Affairs Council think it's okay again? Remember, military affairs can only be handled by the Privy Council staff. The royal family will decide, who else dares to reach out, I will reunite the nine clans, and this will never be compromised; I also heard that there is something wrong with the imperial examination?"
"The Government Affairs Council believes that the imperial examination and the military examination have been added for nearly ten years. If the new Jinshi is physically qualified, it is absolutely fine." Zhou Kang quickly replied
"That's no problem." Zhou Yang nodded, and continued despite his son's stunned expression, "However, after all, they are from academic backgrounds. It does not mean that they can lead troops to fight with basic military manuals. Well, in this case, The Royal Army Command College in Beijing and the Royal Naval College in Jinmen Town and Luda Campus each offer advanced training courses.
It is of course possible for a person who is a Jinshi to join the army and serve in the army, but he must undergo one year of modification training before he can enter the army. After another one year of internship, he is allowed to be awarded titles and arrange positions according to the customs of the army—— Well, let's see, after all, it took two years. The award can be increased by half a level, but the appointment must be based on the standards for military school graduates. "
These bandanas still want to cause trouble, but they are probably out of their minds. They must not know that there is a modern way to join the army called "special recruitment". After two years of military school and military career, even those who came from the imperial examination will , either they can’t adapt to elimination, or they won’t remember the bullshit “everything is inferior”.
After 50 years of strong advancement, the army now has a very high prestige in the Great Zhou Empire. "Guarding the border for the country" is an absolute honor. "Why don't men wear Wu Gou" is basic common sense in the world. First-class talents are admitted to the military academy. , Only the second class will take the imperial examination. Of course, it is not so absolute, but this is roughly the procedure.
It is also for this reason that although Zhou Yang has long stopped the issuance of titles and the inheritance of all Spyker, the "military aristocracy" system with the royal family as its core and military academies as its branches has long been deeply rooted. , this is also the cornerstone of the army's absolute support for the royal family. If the army is stable, the country will naturally not be in chaos.
As the status of the army rose, the turbans had no choice but to go down. Therefore, over the past 50 years, they have repeatedly adopted various methods in an attempt to regain their former advantages. At the beginning, Zhou Yang needed to use a knife to solve the problem, but now it is basically There was no need for him to take action, and the Privy Council itself solved the problem through propaganda. After all, the common people should know which is more important without having to think about the soldiers bleeding on the front line or the big headscarves who talk nonsense at home.
"My child thinks it's okay, but I haven't figured out how to connect it. Father is still far-sighted." Zhou Kang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded immediately.
"Are you also deceived by those people in turbans, thinking that the army has always been so strong, which is not good for the country?" Zhou Yang smiled and patted his son on the shoulder, "Didn't the history books say that all dynasties were destroyed by weakness, and only the Han Dynasty was defeated by the weak?" Forced death, even if the whole world is in chaos, the princes are fighting endlessly, and anyone's soldiers and horses can defeat the foreign tribes in the North, causing heavy casualties.
The other one is the Tang army. Why is it always referred to as 'Han and Tang' when mentioning the military achievements of the dynasty now?Because the same is true for the Tang army. Most of the defeats in the late Tang Dynasty were due to the mess at the top, but the combat effectiveness of the army never really deteriorated. Although there were victories and defeats in the battles with Tubo and Uighur, the overall country's In front of these foreign races, I never lost my pride. Do you understand? "
"I understand, kid!" Zhou Kang replied quickly, but then said uneasily, "It's just that if this happens, the army will be indispensable."
"Then it depends on the ability of the royal family." Zhou Yang said lightly, "If you can suppress it, it will be passed on from generation to generation. If you can't suppress it, don't say anything. Either get out of the way and give up your position as soon as possible, or just be like the royal family of all dynasties. As long as they die honestly, I can think about the current affairs for them, but it is impossible to truly achieve 'oneness for all eternity'."
"This-" Zhou Kang was dumbfounded.
"Okay, the Privy Council specially sent this battle report to me. It shouldn't just be for good news, right?" Zhou Yang changed the topic impatiently.
"Father, what the Privy Council wants is to continue to the west." Zhou Kang could only follow his father's tone and said, "Didn't you say at the beginning that although the land further to the west is barren and barren, the underground is full of It’s oil—”
"Oh?" Zhou Yang's expression changed, "Any news on the internal combustion engine?"
"The Academy of Sciences has produced samples, but they cannot be mass-produced." Zhou Kang said helplessly, "After testing, all internal combustion engine samples have similar problems. The most suitable fuel is different oils extracted from petroleum, but The requirements for steel are too high. With the level of steel plants we have in various places, it is impossible to use them in a short time.”
"Then it will be used as a technical reserve first until the smelting level is improved. At this stage, the coal-fired steam engine is enough." Zhou Yang nodded, not entangled on this issue, "It's just that further west from Tianzhu, there is Tianfang In this area, it’s better not to stretch out your hands for the time being. Maybe we have no problem with military strength, but without people to immigrate, it’s useless to conquer them - what’s the current population of Da Zhou?”
"Father, it has exceeded [-] million." Zhou Kang replied proudly.
"It's not enough, at least double it." Zhou Yang stunned his son with one sentence, "The current people cover the Nanyang Peninsula and the Nanyang Islands at most, and even Tianzhu can't be stabilized. If you want to completely control Tianzhu, at least add more Ten million people, don’t think about Tianfang, for the time being, oil is not a necessity, wait for national power, especially manpower to come up—who is in charge of the Privy Council now?”
"It's Yuan Xian and Yuan Changshun." Zhou Kang replied immediately.
"What year?" Zhou Yang continued to ask.
"The second year of the first term."
"Then he can only be considered unlucky." Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Tell him that the two presidents should practice their internal skills, lay the foundation, and stop all large-scale external military activities. In the past ten years, the population has increased. [-] should be no problem, and we can continue to advance at that time, but it’s not completely idle—have you found the Nanyang Islands in the south?”
"I just found out. I didn't expect that my father's guess was right. There is really a huge land there. The most important thing is that the local aboriginal people are very primitive and are still in a state of ignorance. There are not many of them." Zhou Kang said excitedly, "Our people I also saw red-haired spies there and suppressed them easily."
"In the next ten years, we will focus our main efforts here. Anyway, there is no practical resistance there, and the resources are quite abundant. It won't take much effort to get it. It's just like hunting rabbits." Zhou Yang nodded, "Also, since the aboriginal people there are still very primitive, we should teach them well and absorb them. I believe that they will become our own people in less than 20 years."
"That's what my father said, and the Privy Council and the Government Council agreed upon the same idea after discussion." Zhou Kang replied with a smile.
"That's good. Speaking of the Privy Council -" Zhou Yang's heart moved, "You just said that the current military aircraft foreman's surname is Yuan?"
"Father, he is Uncle Yuan's second son." Zhou Kang understood what his father meant.
"It's a boy from Dongjie's (Yuan Xiu) family. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, these boys would also come up. I remember you and him were classmates?" Zhou Yang couldn't help laughing.
"Father, the two of us, three imperial brothers and brothers from other families were all admitted to the Royal Army Command Academy in Beijing in the 22nd year of Wu Zheng's reign." Zhou Kang said happily, "Two years ago, Uncle Yuan When we were leaving, we went to the Yuan family to see him off. My father specially issued a decree to reward the Yuan family and recalled Uncle Yuan’s original achievements."
"Yes, among the old brothers, Dongjie was the last one to leave, and it has been two years now." Zhou Yang's expression darkened, and he turned to look at the Glass Crystal Palace, "And they -"
"Father!" Zhou Kang said with a sad expression, "If the Queen Mother and all the other mothers and concubines are alive in heaven, I believe they would not want to see you like this."
"Huh—" Zhou Yang sighed, "In the 30th year of Wuzheng, your queen mother (Wang Shuying) was the first to leave. In less than three years, no one thought that Dongfang would be the second to leave. The old injuries from martial arts practice weakened the body year after year, until the 48th year of Wuzheng, when I asked you to take it, it happened that your mother (Princess Yongjing Guo Xuan) left not long ago, and until a few days ago, Lian. "
"Father!" Zhou Kang cried and knelt down, "I never thought that Concubine Xue (Baoqin) and Concubine Jia (Xichun) would leave so suddenly. It was obvious that they were only twenty years old. The day before I left, I was joking with my father and my children, why did it happen so suddenly?"
"Perhaps, they are really fairies in the sky. Now that the tribulation has been completed, have they gone back?" Zhou Yang looked bitterly at the glass "Crystal Palace". In addition to the flowers that bloom all year round, there are more than [-] flowers placed on the long tables. Twenty spiritual tablets, with familiar names on them, "Unfortunately, I don't know if they are happy because they will never see them again."
"Father, take care of yourself!" Zhou Kang couldn't help crying anymore.
"Okay, as the saying goes, 'You can't die young at fifty'. I'm over 80, and I can live a long life anyway. Why are you crying?" Zhou Yang sighed softly, "You don't have to worry about it after I die. Daban, I have also seen the mausoleum. Your mother and the other mothers and concubines have been arranged according to the courtyard of the palace, covering a total area of less than one acre.
Remember, no expansion is allowed, and no valuable burial objects are allowed. I can just put them in together after I die. There is no need to do anything 'closed' or 'secret'. The tomb can be opened directly. You can do it whenever you are free. Go over and take a look. Don't worry about 'tomb robbing' or anything like that. Aren't there guards stationed there? "
"Father, don't worry, my child understands!" Zhou Kang cried.
"Okay, don't waste time in my old man's yard. Go and do your work. Taking good care of our Zhou family is your greatest filial piety." Zhou Yang sighed and waved his hand to signal his son to leave, "Also, I will never Do you allow bullshit like 'everything is inferior except for reading' to continue to exist in this world? Do you understand?"
"Child, never forget!" Zhou Kang got up and replied seriously.
"The railway must be pushed forward unswervingly to ensure that it covers Korea and the Northeast in the north, all the way to the southern tip of the Nanyang Peninsula in the south, and Congling in the west. These will be the basic foundation of China in the future. If future generations lose even an inch, the world Everyone in the world can get it and kill it!" Zhou Yang said with a cold tone, "On the contrary, you might as well entrust Tianzhu and Nanyang Islands, as well as the areas to the west of Tianzhu and south of Nanyang Islands, to entrust them.
Now that there are so many people in the family, it makes no sense to keep them all in the country. Nanyang Islands can just select some larger ones with better conditions to be enfeoffed. Tianzhu and the area west of Tianzhu and south of Nanyang Islands can express their decree and enfeoff to those who have merit. Officials of the opposite sex, such as Tianzhu, can actually enfeoff more than a dozen princes and kings, as long as they are nominally subordinate to China. "
"I'll discuss it with you brothers when I get back." Zhou Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because with the level of governance in this era, it is really difficult to keep "overseas territories", "On the other hand, Goryeo, I met King Xue of Ryukyu a few days ago. Brother, he has now wiped out Kyushu and Shikoku among the four islands of Japan, but including the main island of Ryukyu, they are too barren, so I just thought "
"Take Goryeo? Tell him to get lost." Zhou Yang snorted disdainfully, "It's normal for overseas lands to be uncontrollable. Is there any reason to give up the land connected to the mainland? Tell him to honestly develop the sea by himself - -Forget it, send some people to help him and help him take down the entire four Japanese islands. From now on, they will be our maritime barrier east of China.
You should also be careful, expand the naval power of Ryukyu, and find a suitable area in the east ocean, roughly in the middle of the ocean, leaving a Chinese foothold and outpost, plus the Nanyang Islands and From now on, among all the countries in Tianzhu, China will be completely protected, and the entire population will be culturally connected. This is also the mission of the Zhou Dynasty! "
"My child understands!" Zhou Kang said with a serious salute.
"That's good." Zhou Yang turned around again, his eyes completely falling on the glass crystal palace, as if there was nothing else around him.
On April 60, the 22th year of Wu Zheng's reign, Emperor Wu Zheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Yang, passed away. The whole country in the Great Zhou Dynasty wept bitterly. However, in accordance with his will, the body was sent directly to the already built mausoleum. Everything was as usual everywhere, even the tombs were opened directly, and the people were speechless for a while.
However, in places they didn't know, there was another change.
"Brother Zhou?" I don't know how much time had passed, but a familiar female voice sounded in his ears. Zhou Yang slowly opened his eyes in confusion, only to see a bright girl's face almost touching his nose. When he opened his eyes, he still... He kissed her gently with a smile, "My little sister, I thought I couldn't wait long, but I didn't expect that I still had to wait for nearly half a month. You really can survive!"
"Baoqin?" Zhou Yang was confused for a moment, then shook his head, "No, I gave it to you personally a few days ago."
"It's true, Brother Zhou, he can't even part with a better tomb, a dark and cold stone house, and he doesn't want to think about people who are timid and scared." Another familiar female voice was holding hands with the first figure and joking at this time. , "Sister Qin, do you think he is too stingy? He was careless when he was alive, and he is careless when he is dead!"
"Fourth girl? You are not..." At this time, Zhou Yang finally "awakened" and looked at the two familiar girls in front of him in disbelief, and——
"Kekeke——" "Hehehehe——"
Not far behind the two of them, the girls who had formed a half-circle seemed to be in full bloom. Their beautiful smiles all focused on him, and they all looked familiar. Not to mention Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai in the middle, on the left They are Shi Xiangyun, Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing, and on the right are the remaining Sanchun and Li Wan.
Behind these "official gold hairpins" are Zhen Yinglian, Xing Xiuyan, Ping'er, Qingwen, Xueyan, Ying'er, Suyun and other girls. They don't look "dead" at all, and they all look at them with smiles. He was surrounded by himself, and even the most loyal maid, Qingwen, didn't have the slightest intention of "serving" at this time, and just covered her mouth and snickered.
"Brother Zhou, we've had a hard time waiting for you!" Finally, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai came up to them with smiles and hugged someone's arms. "None of the sisters thought that they could be like this after death. Shengjing, it’s a pity that the time difference between us is too long, it took nearly 30 years to get together, and now I’m missing you.”
"It turns out that there really is this place -" Zhou Yang did not answer, but looked up at a white marble archway with the four characters "Taixu Illusion" written on it, as well as a couplet on both sides. It reads, "When the false is true, the truth is also false, and there is nothing but nothingness." "You are also true."
"It seems that the woman who claims to be the 'Violent Fantasy Fairy' is not lying. You do know this place and she is really a visitor from outside the world." Lin Daiyu gave him an annoyed look and said, "No wonder there are so many women in the world. You just focused on Rong Ning's second house and several families with whom you are related. It turns out that you had a premeditated plan."
"This—" Zhou Yang was speechless in embarrassment.
"Let's go, go back to the house to talk no matter what." Xue Baochai saw his embarrassment and gave Lin Daiyu a gentle slap. A group of girls turned around the archway and saw a tall palace gate not far away. There is a plaque with the four words "Nie Hai Qing Tian" written on it, and there is also a couplet on the left and right, "Thick earth and high sky, we can lament the endless love in ancient and modern times; crazy men and resentful women, poor romantic debts that are difficult to repay."
"Sister Lin, Sister Bao, if we don't count the so-called 'Violent Fantasy Fairy' and her group of fairy maids, just talking about the family, the two of you should be the top ones." Scanning the plaque and couplet with some disgust, Zhou Yang frowned and asked, "Since you have lived here for nearly 30 years, haven't you thought about changing it?"
"Brother Zhou said it lightly. It wasn't us who made the decision here yesterday. When I heard that you were coming over, that 'Alarm Fantasy Fairy' ran away reluctantly. She said, 'You can't be contaminated by resentment in the world of mortals, and it will break down if you're not careful. Practice'." Xue Baoqin on the side curled her lips disdainfully, "Before you came, she also advised us to say 'give up some romantic debts and stay here with her to seek righteousness', it was simply a crazy idea."
"She's not the only one here, right?" Zhou Yang continued to ask.
"It was definitely more than that when we first came here." Li Wan, the first among the Jin Chai people to come over, said with a smile.
"When you first came here?" Zhou Yang's expression changed, and he glanced around subconsciously. Only when he saw that there was no one else did he look at Xue Baochai, "Sister Bao, the first one to come here should be..."
"You..." Xue Baochai's cheeks turned red. He pushed him away and went back to the hall, leaving the other Jinchai to laugh at them. But after they finished laughing, they all followed him into the hall. Soon, Zhou Yang was beside him. Only Lin Daiyu and Xue Baoqin were left.
"They're all here!" A certain princess rolled her eyes at him, but she still explained kindly, "I heard that the police fantasy fairy said that only those who were registered here could come here, and the aunt and several other sisters couldn't come here originally. , but because of your relationship, all the sisters in the family couldn't be separated anymore, so they reluctantly accepted it.
It was also when the eldest uncle came here that the sisters came one by one. There were many fairies and fairies who originally stayed here, but they all ran away one after another. I heard from Sister Wan that the fairies who spent most of their time here were the ones serving here. Bai, the only one left running slowly is the police fairy. Yesterday, she heard that you were coming and she was scared to run away. "
"Um, I remember there are 36 people in total on the book. Not all of them have entered our house, right?" Zhou Yang asked puzzledly.
"Hmph!" As soon as these words came out, Sister Lin and Xue Baoqin glanced at each other, Qiqi threw him away and entered the hall, leaving only someone who was embarrassed; he didn't care about thinking twice, and quickly walked a few steps into the hall , but at the door, he was confused and looked stupidly at the girls standing on both sides.
This time, except for Jin Chai who was on the "book", other girls who were "not in the book" also gathered together. It happened that the two sides were "separated". The first ones were naturally Princess Guo Rong of Yongchang, Princess Guo Xuan of Yongjing, and Queen Mother Li Hong. Following closely behind, there were sisters Zhao Qiying, Zhao Yanling and Wang Shuying. This time the family finally gathered together - well, wait a minute, the one next to Wang Xifeng is
"Qiao'er has met my father!" The only girl "registered" but a generation below her is naturally his and Wang Xifeng's daughter Qiao Jie.
"Here? Find a place to sit down by yourself." Only Her Royal Highness Princess Yongchang was so arrogant. She waved her hands casually and sat down on her own. The other girls also smiled and took their seats. The only problem was that there were no chairs. ——That's not right either. Zhou Yang clearly saw that there was another seat facing north and south in the middle of the hall.
"You guys!" Zhou Yang smiled and strode to the seat. After looking at it for a while, he turned around and slowly sat on the seat.
"Buzz -" It seemed like an instant, and it seemed like 1 years. A large amount of news was poured into his mind at the same time as he sat down. However, there was no feeling of pain or discomfort. Instead, there was a feeling of "I see." "The moment I woke up, I finally understood what the problem was.
"Brother Zhou knows?" Lin Daiyu, the leader of the golden hairpins, said with a smile.
"You guys are so heartless!" Zhou Yang glared at the girls below angrily, causing laughter.
"Ziyang, don't laugh." Li Wan smiled and patted Wang Xifeng's Qiaojie, who covered her mouth and ran out of the hall with a smile, before continuing, "I am the first to come here with so many sisters on the list. At that time, Fairy Jing Huan also lied to me and said that I was originally a fairy who had gone through calamities, and I should have kept my chastity and self-cleaning all my life, so that I could recover my identity after returning. It was because you destroyed my innocence that I could no longer enter the fairy gate, unless "
"I'll die!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Yes, we were originally innocent fairies in the fantasy world, but we could live forever in the world of mortals. However, if we were deceived by someone and we were sincere and dirty, how could we go back to the old days." Xue Baoqin's voice was so loud. Calling someone miserable made all the girls in the hall laugh out loud, "It's such an injustice, it's really snowing in June!"
"Damn you, what are you talking about?" , how is it possible to be 'innocent'? Fortunately, Sister Wan has been in the palace for many years and has long developed the Royal Dragon Qi, sharing it with Brother Zhou. No matter how good the Jing Huan is, he can only talk nonsense in an attempt to deceive the sisters. , but didn’t have the guts to do anything.”
"In ancient times, the three realms of heaven, earth and man were connected. There was the emperor in the heaven, the earth in the earth, and the emperor in the human realm. There was no distinction between the three. The power of the emperor was not something she could interfere with." Zhou Yang said with a sneer, "This The Fang World only belongs to Xiaoqian, and does not even have a heaven or an underworld. Only the 'Taixu Illusion Realm' is a supernatural existence that barely suppresses the destiny of the world.
Jing Huan Fairy is not a god, she is just a small immortal. She was lucky enough to find this ownerless world, so she tried to speed up her cultivation by controlling the whole world. However, she was ruined by me, an outsider. She could have played tricks on her. He tried his best to get rid of me, but he didn't expect that although this world does not have the Dao of Heaven, it is not without a soul. "
"Yes, I have never thought that there really is a 'treasure book' in this world that can control the fate of others." Princess Yongchang played with a golden book, flipped through it and threw it to Zhou Yang, " But the person who makes me most angry is actually the person on the list."
"Many are just maids and slaves, but there is no our eldest princess!" Xue Baoqin jumped into the arms of Princess Yongchang with a smile and made trouble, "I'm so angry!"
"Hmph!" Princess Yongchang rubbed Xue Baoqin's bun and said dissatisfied, "So what? No wonder you are all 'immortal'. It turns out that in the so-called 'Twelve Beauties of Jinling' book, you should have died long ago. , there is nothing in destiny after the age of 30, so naturally there is no way to grow old."
"You will still die because your soul is immortal, but your body has its limits. The reason for your death is that your body cannot bear it anymore, so everyone on the list will only die without a disease, because there is no 'cause of death' in your destiny, only If you beat the 'death date', you will be free from illness and disaster." Zhou Yang casually flipped through the "Authentic Book of the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling" in his hand, threw it on the ground with disdain and stepped on it a few times, " It is purely for recording purposes and has no other value.
Fortunately, there are spirits in the world, and they have recognized you as the elves of this world. No wonder I am so lucky. It turns out that after getting you, I was able to almost "change my destiny against the will of heaven", so that I was so lucky that it was almost child's play to win the throne. , this is also how Fang Tiandi takes care of you. With the protection of my dragon energy, Fairy Jinghuan doesn’t even have the courage to do anything, so she can only run away in the end. "
"It's a pity that the power of my Guo family has been lost in such a mysterious way!" Princess Yongchang said quietly, causing all the "registered" Jinchai to laugh out loud.
"Princess, you have to be conscientious when speaking. If Brother Zhou didn't rely on the emperor's dragon spirit to link you with us, and just made up the number of Double Twelve, which is the so-called 'main book' and 'secondary book', where would you be?" Can you come over?" Xue Baochai retorted dissatisfiedly, "Besides, without Brother Zhou's elite firearms soldiers, how can the remnants of the slave establishment in Baishan and Heishui be wiped out? Sooner or later, the Guo family will still be taken over."
"Your hoof, you probably forgot the superiority and inferiority. It seems that I need to teach you the rules." The unreasonable Princess Yongchang simply got up, ran to Xue Baochai's side and hugged her, and resorted to all kinds of means. "Xue Shidu, accept the punishment well!"
Seeing the girls laughing and joking, Zhou Yang remembered the number "double twelve" mentioned by Xue Baochai just now, and counted it silently in his mind——
Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing, Sichun and Li Wan, this is the "main volume", Xue Baoqin, Zhen Yinglian, Xing Xiuyan, Ping'er, Qingwen, Ying'er and Suyun are considered the "auxiliary volume", Guo Rong, Guo Xuan, Li Hong, and Dongfang Bing are from the royal family, followed closely by Wang Shuying and sisters Zhao Qiying and Zhao Yanling, exactly 24.
Well, my dear daughter Qiao Jie was originally on the "official list", and she should have been calculated according to this when she came. Later she lost her position because she was "uncontrollable", but her mother is Wang Xifeng and her father is herself, so she still has enough " "Backstage" to stabilize his identity, and considering that now all the official and auxiliary members have become his own people in the house, his daughter should be regarded as the "additional head".
"Brother Zhou, have you figured it out?" Not mentioning the squabbles over there, Shi Xiangyun ran to him with a smile and Sister Sichun, pointed to the girls in the main hall and said, "The people have always praised you, Emperor Wuzheng, for not opening your eyes all your life. Through the 'general election' or 'minor election' to enrich the palace, you don't know that there are many sisters in the family!"
"You!" Zhou Yang stood up with some embarrassment, hugged Sister Yun and said, "It seems that the ten of you plus Rong'er and Xuan'er are the new 'official list'. The others are named Honghong and Qin. The girl, the leader, has gathered enough 'Supplementary Books', but I don't know that there is another 'Further supplementary book', how can I get it together, where have they gone?"
"Why, Brother Zhou still wants to get it together?" Sisters Zhao Yanling and Zhao Qiying came over dissatisfied. The third heroine Zhao didn't forget to hit someone and said, "That would be a pity. Seeing the 'official book' on the ground Is it? There is also a 'sub-volume' that Qiaojie took away, saying that she wanted to see if her name would appear on it.
As for the 'Additional Supplementary Book', after the two princesses came over, they were so full of dragon energy that the Fairy Jinghuan could not withstand the pressure and sealed it up. Not to mention that Qingwen and Ying'er were originally in the Secondary Book, but they have been serving you, and the same Possessing dragon energy, how can a so-called "magic weapon" that can only control a "maid girl" be trapped?In the end, the booklet was simply destroyed. "
"So, many of the 'extraordinary' means that I should have had were all because of your luck and protection. In the end, I couldn't use them on me. Later, I simply couldn't handle the general trend of the world and slowly withdrew from the world." Zhou Yang nodded and understood. In the past, he spent 50 years vigorously promoting the industrial development, or scientific development, of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As we all know, once "science" gained momentum, "theology" was out of the question.
"So, does Ziyang have any other questions?" Li Hong and Wang Shuying, who had been silent for a long time, came hand in hand, and also invited Princess Guo Xuan of Yongjing. "To be honest, although the scenery in this cave is beautiful, it is too boring. ”
"Last question, where is the 'psychic jade'?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.
"Here it is!" Lin Daiyu threw it to him and said in a cold tone, "This Fangdongtian or the entire world has never had any connection with the so-called 'Western Spirit Mountain', let alone a 'spirit mountain'. "He', this jade pendant was made by the Jing Huan Fairy. Brother Bao was fascinated by this jade pendant, so he is her spy in the world."
"Real-time monitoring?" Zhou Yang shook his head speechlessly and said playfully, "I remember Jia Baoyu disappeared a long time ago."
"Jing Huan Fairy indeed brought him here, probably to convince us, but none of the sisters would care about him." Shi Xiangyun said disdainfully, "Seeing that it is of no use, we don't know where he was taken."
"Since the chess pieces are useless, you can imagine the fate." Zhou Yang sighed, "Since there is no underworld in this world, naturally there should be no souls, except for you 'registered golden hairpins' who are blessed by the 'Taixu Illusion Realm' Except, no one else will have it. Even I have benefited from you to form my own soul, Baoyu said."
"He was confused all his life and never lived a day of his own. It would be a kind of relief to get out of this sea of suffering as soon as possible." Yuan Chun, who had taken care of Jia Baoyu since childhood and had the deepest affection among the four springs, smiled bitterly. As for the other three springs, Jia Baoyu's Tortured by various "curious" news for decades, she has long since lost any feelings.
"That's all." Zhou Yang was even more indifferent to him, "The chair above is the core of this cave. Because the vigilante fairy who originally controlled it escaped, the cave became ownerless again. I just roughly completed it. 'Recognize the Lord', I'm just a little curious. After Jinghuan left, didn't you think about taking control?"
"Even we are yours, so what if you control us? I won't give it back to you when you come here." Guo Xuan curled her lips and said, "It's better to talk to each other as a family, so as not to ruin the friendship."
"Xuan'er!" Zhou Yang smiled and stepped forward to hug her, and then hugged Wang Shuying, who had never said a word, "What is control, what is the cave, nothing can compare with the harmony and beauty of a family; it's just that Honghong said something just now That’s right, even though this is the Immortal Cave, it’s still a bit boring after all, do you have any thoughts?”
"Then let's go to the lower world to play." Xichun, who loves to play the most, said with a smile, "Brother Zhou, now that the Zhou Dynasty is no longer under your control, who knows how far it can go? Anyway, idleness is idle, why don't we all continue Wouldn't it be more interesting to go down and have some fun, and come back and see you again a hundred years later?"
"Huh?" Xichun's words made everyone in the hall stunned.
"Dead hoof, if you lose your true nature and no one brings it back, wouldn't it be like ordinary people, whose souls will dissipate and be extinguished?" , "Is it possible that you still miss a sister?"
"Sisters?" Stay here just in case, and when you go down, stay with a few big connected families, and stay with Brother Zhou for the rest of your life."
"Is this okay?" Zhou Yang said stupidly, but found that the girls all showed excited expressions.
"No matter what, I don't want to be like this with Bao Yatou anymore." Wang Shuying rolled her eyes at someone and stepped forward to hug her daughter. Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, "What do you call the 'sister, sister' who you have abused all day long? It is better to be born as a pair of sisters in the next life, and avoid being laughed at and teased by outsiders."
"Your Majesty, we can't always be maids, right?" Qingwen pulled Ping'er, Xueyan and Ying'er and ran over, and even Zhen Yinglian followed behind with a blushing face, "I just don't dare to cross the mistresses, anyway. Consider me a concubine!”
"Ziyang, let us fight with you innocently." Li Wan hugged Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing, with a gentle smile on his pretty face. Even Wang Xifeng rarely lost his aggressive expression, "It's like a A piece of white paper with traces on it, even if it is bleached and makes people feel uncomfortable, it still looks clean."
"Although the surname of this world is Zhou, I don't want to just ignore it. If you let me manage it, maybe it will be better." A certain arrogant eldest princess obviously didn't give up and ran away with Guo Xuan, Li Hong and Dongfang Bing. When he arrived at someone's side, "Anyway, the Zetian Emperor Zhuyu is in front of you. I will reward you with personal service when the time comes. Even if Dongfang is my Shangguan Wan'er, why don't you thank me?"
"Brother Zhou, do you remember what you mentioned once?" Lin Daiyu blushed and pulled Xue Baochai up to someone. She rolled her eyes before saying, "Chai and Dai will serve together at the pinnacle of life?"
"Brother Zhou, we sisters don't dare to ask for anything else. At least we should start with a clean slate and be your woman with peace of mind." Tanchun pulled the other three springs with the same rudeness, "What are you adding? It’s upsetting to think about selling things, paying off debts, giving gifts, that sort of thing.”
"I want to be the main wife, no longer a concubine!" Xue Baoqin was straightforward, and naturally she was suppressed by Guo Xuan.
"Brother Zhou——" Shi Xiangyun hesitated for a moment, then knelt gently in front of Zhou Yang, "If there is an afterlife, my little sister would like to be born in a perfect family."
"Brother-in-law, where are we?" Zhao Yanling quickly pulled Zhao Qiying over.
"You are not afraid, so what am I afraid of?" Zhou Yang looked at the girls in front of him and couldn't help but laugh, "Well, let us never be separated again for the rest of our lives!"
"There is also Sister Qiao!" Wang Xifeng reminded quickly.
"I will never forget that my daughter is my old father's little cotton-padded jacket!" Zhou Yang couldn't help laughing!
