Yuan Shi Tian

Chapter 188
Dai Viet, the first year of Changlong!
Fire and rocks fell from the sky, and flames flew and burned the ground for more than a hundred miles.

At that time, the demons were in troubled times, with chaos in law and morality. Dozens of evil sects, including the White Lotus Sect, the Wusheng Sect, and the Vacuum Sect, were vying to rebel.

Suddenly, the words "The emperor has lost his virtue and will be exhausted" made a noise in the dust.

Hundreds or thousands of clouds of smoke from the rebel army caused beacon smoke to rise all over the thirteen states.The Dai Viet Dynasty, which lasted for 120 years and eight dynasties, seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

On the official road of Tongzhou, a fast horse was galloping. The officer's face turned red and he slapped the horse's buttocks hard. The post horse was in pain, and its four strong legs rolled up streaks of smoke.

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

This officer was dressed in a light blue bunt, carrying a package on his back, and on the cloth belt around his waist were three eye-catching urgent order flags.He couldn't help whipping the riding crop in his hand, sweat dripped down the bridge of his nose, and the turbid sweat soaked through his clothes.

"Eight hundred miles, hurry up, eight hundred miles, hurry up!"

The officer's heart was on fire, and the post horse galloped with its hooves under the whip.

After all, the [-]-mile urgent document on his back was related to the cult in the seven counties of Tongzhou, and it had to be delivered within the time limit specified by Shangfeng.Even if there is a moment of overdue, it is also a serious crime for the Yi people to copy their homes.

sieve!sieve!sieve!
Suddenly, the sound of arrows sounded in the woods on both sides of the official road.

Hundreds of hooked arrows suddenly shot out from the forest.When you enter your eyes, you will be greeted by a cold light, which makes you feel awe-struck.

The officer tugged on the reins hard, raised the two horse hooves high, and the post horse gave a long neigh.

puff- puff-

Of the hundreds of arrows, a small half landed on the stagecoach and the majority stuck in the ground.

The officer roared angrily, unsheathed his sword at his waist, and rolled off his horse while protecting himself.

"Bold monster, you dare to kill the imperial servants without permission."

The officer was frightened and angry, and waved his sword to deflect a few arrows.

"kill!"

Dozens of handsome men in white clothes sprang out from the woods, all with stern faces and a hint of stiffness in their movements.

"White lotus monster," the guard looked at the lotus flowers embroidered with pale silver thread on the chests of the men in white, and couldn't help but backed up a few steps.

Immediately, the guard gritted his teeth, turned around and ran away with all his might.

"kill!"

"Don't leave this little job!"

One by one, the swordsmen quickly chased after them, and their figures gradually disappeared on the official road as their steps crisscrossed.

…………

Dai Viet, Ngoc Kinh,
Forbidden in the palace, in the study room!

A young emperor with an immature face was sitting on the dragon couch, correcting the memorials sent from all over the world one by one.

Emperor Changlong said with a stern look on his face: "Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Jianghuai, Henan, Hedong, Hebei, there are wars everywhere, and there are wars all over the sky. What is going on in this world?"

"Is it because I have little virtue and poor fortune, because I don't care about people's livelihood, or because I am young and can be bullied?"

Emperor Changlong's hands were trembling, and he held the Zhu pen tightly, his face as gloomy as water.

"When the Imperial Father was here, you didn't rebel, and when the Prime Minister was here, you didn't rebel either. Now you dare to rebel, is it because I am a coward who is in power?"

Emperor Changlong's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said, "Mr. Li,"

An old chamberlain with white beard and hair strode forward and said, "I'm here, old slave."

"To prepare a decree,"

Emperor Changlong said calmly: "The south of the Yangtze River is the center of taxation in the world. The wealth of the world is divided into three parts from salt and profit, and seven parts from Jiangnan. Therefore, to control chaos in Jiangnan, we must do something, and we must do it."

"Xue Ning, the general and the right minister of the Ministry of War, is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He will lead the three armies of Dingxiang, Baotao and Shenji to quell the banditry in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Here!"

The old chamberlain wrote the words of Emperor Changlong neatly on the imperial silk in a matter of seconds.

"Sir, could you please go to Xue's house? I think Xue Ning will understand what I mean."

Emperor Changlong called an old chamberlain with the honorific title of "Sir". Moreover, this old chamberlain was completely different from ordinary chamberlains. His face was pale and there was no need to speak softly. Instead, his face was full of curly beard, and his words had a masculine air.

From all this, it can be seen that the identity of this old chamberlain is particularly special among the palace confinement.

The old chamberlain lowered his head and said, "Old slave, I know!"

"Um……"

Emperor Changlong nodded and said, "Sir, be careful along the way."

This old chamberlain could make Emperor Changlong his confidant, and even address him as "Sir", so he was certainly not an idle person.

After all, Emperor Zhaode had a deep mind and was used to seeing examples of powerful officials and eunuchs colluding to evade imperial power.As Emperor Zhaode, this person was the secret hand left to assist the young emperor. Naturally, he was the most trusted person of the two emperors Zhaode and Changlong.

The old chamberlain said dryly: "Your Majesty, please relax, the eternal foundation left by Taizu Taizong cannot be shaken by just one or two thieves."

"In this way, the meritorious ministers should not respond, the various schools of thought should not respond, the vassal kings and princes should not respond, the three mountains are still there, and the sky of Dai Viet cannot be overturned."

Emperor Changlong said: "I hope so..."

Because Emperor Changlong was too young, he lacked the authority of the king.Therefore, there are many meritorious generals who violate the law in both positive and negative ways.

And this old chamberlain, who had served emperors of four dynasties, could be said to be an antique among antiques. His prestige was extraordinary, and he was the best choice to check and balance the domineering ministers in the court.

Looking at the back of the old chamberlain, who was like a lonely pine, Emperor Changlong confidently placed the red pen on the pen holder made of sandalwood.

"What a troubled time!"

"A troubled year?"

The Dai Viet Dynasty of Nou Da is like a tight string, constantly bearing the burden, and it is not known when it will break.

Emperor Changlong steeled himself, looked at the piles of memorials on the slips, smiled and shook his head.

I don't know when or where, in the hazy atmosphere, several calls seemed to echo in Emperor Changlong's ears.

"Your Majesty, please move!"

The groggy Emperor Changlong opened his mouth unconsciously and responded.

In a daze, Emperor Changlong found himself in a narrow path with dead grass growing on both sides of the road, and the yellow water boiling in the springs at his eyes.

Emperor Changlong was surrounded by bones and could not help but be alert, asking: "Where is this?"

Because when Xun Shaoyu conquered the world in the past, he purged a number of Taoist sects and looted more than ten thousand Taoist scriptures.Although the royal family's children have dragon energy and cannot cultivate the middle path, nourish the energy, and retain the essence, there are still people who like the way and love the way and read the scriptures and Taoism books.

Therefore, regarding the status of the royal family and the advantages and disadvantages of those who face Taoism, they are all clear about it.

Although Emperor Changlong was young, the late Emperor Zhaode admired the way of immortality in his later years, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also knew that humanity suppressed Taoists.

Therefore, Emperor Changlong never changed his calm demeanor when looking at the illusory scene in front of him.

After all, even if a giant monster wants to plot against a human being, he will have to pay a heavy price.

And a red dragon that has been accumulated for [-] years will make all those with ulterior motives have their heads bruised and bleeding, and their steel teeth broken.

This is to know the depth of it, so Emperor Changlong will not be afraid.

clang--

clang--

The bells rang 12 times in a row, hundreds of waiters guarded the entrance of the Yangchang Trail, and a 12-carry dragon cart slowly entered the trail.

Hundreds of waiters walked through the void and came towards Emperor Changlong step by step.

"Your Majesty, are you His Majesty Changlong?"

After a moment, this group of Luan Jia came to Emperor Changlong's face. The leader, a ghost with several pure white divine lines on his face, shouted loudly.

Although Emperor Changlong was young and immature, his commanding demeanor could not be faked.

Emperor Changlong looked at the impressive ghosts and gods and said calmly: "I am Emperor Changlong of Dayue, Fang Guangren!"

"If it is His Majesty Changlong, please hurry up and come to the banquet, and your attendants will be waiting to see the Emperor."

As the ghost spoke, he bowed his head towards the south.

"Your Majesty, please come to the throne as soon as possible... It is not the duty of a minister to keep the Emperor waiting for a long time."

"It's the duty of a good minister,"

Emperor Changlong looked at the dragon-riding golden carriage carried by the twelve ghosts and gods, and suddenly smiled and said: "I don't dare to invite you despite my wishes!"

After saying that, Emperor Changlong went straight into Jinyu and sat on the dragon couch.

…………

Dayue Dragon Court, Jade Emperor Palace!

Xun Shaoyu is wearing a five-clawed red dragon robe and leaning against the dragon bed. There are several emperors standing beside him, all of them are like four-clawed red dragons.

Due to the different personalities of the Yang world and the Yin world, after the death of the emperor, the five-clawed image dropped from three to four claws depending on his merits and demerits.Only the founder of the country, in line with the great destiny of the country, can maintain the five-clawed image.

Xun Shaoyu rubbed the jade cup with his fingers, clusters of golden flames danced in his eyes, seeming to burn everything, making the space around him slightly distorted.

Emperor Taizong frowned and said: "Royal father, is this extraterrestrial devil really so difficult to deal with that you have to spend such a price to summon the emperor of Yangshi?"

When Xun Shaoyu heard this, he paused his fingers slightly and glanced at Emperor Taizong.

"Are you feeling sorry for the three points of dragon energy I used?"

Emperor Taizong was panicked and said: "My son, I don't dare."

"It's because I don't dare, it's not that I don't want to!"

Xun Shaoyu's faint words made Emperor Taizong silent.

It’s not like you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, but Emperor Taizong has been in charge of the family for more than 1000 years in Dayue Longting, so he naturally knows the weight of three-thirds of dragon energy.That is one-thirtieth of the Qi of Longting. It can last for hundreds of years and can directly create a powerful ghost and god.

Even in the whole of Dai Viet, how much dragon energy can there be?

"Oh... I'm so angry."

Xun Shaoyu smiled faintly, pointed at Emperor Taizong, and said, "Do you really think that this great turmoil will be calmed down so easily?"

Emperor Taizong's expression changed slightly and he said, "Is it possible?"

Thinking about the battle situation in the Underworld, the tragic battles that almost destroyed the entire Underworld, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

Xun Shaoyu's eyes opened and closed, as if he had an insight into the tragedy, and said: "This is just the beginning, and it is far from the end. This war is about the world and the world. If it does not destroy a few golden emperors, it will not destroy many worlds. , it will never end."

Although the lower world has limited force, it cannot destroy mountains with just a few moves.

But at the critical moment when the world was promoted to the Golden Order, the source of power surged and boiled, and some tyrannical beings with the Golden Order's combat power also lost the restraints of heaven and earth.

With the power of a grandmaster level to destroy a city, how many times can this world go through?
Emperor Xuan whispered softly, "Is this just the beginning?"

The five emperors Xuan, Wen, Wu, Zhao, and Mu in the Jade Emperor's Palace can be said to be the most powerful factions among the hundred emperors of the Yue Dynasty, occupying the first level of power in the Dragon Court.

Xun Shaoyu was indifferent and said: "I won't elaborate on the importance of Yang Shi to Longting. If the war situation in Yang Shi changes, our Yin Shi Longting will be implicated."

"Under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs!"

The emperors' expressions were uncertain, and it was obvious that Xun Shaoyu's words made it difficult for them to choose.

"This is not our battle with the earth lords. Even if we win or lose for a while, it may not damage our roots. But, 'they' are different! If they are not my race, their minds must be different. This is a battle. In a life-and-death battle, how can there be any room for contempt?"

"After all, your realm is far behind mine. If you don't reach the realm of the Golden Imperial Order, you won't be able to feel comfortable."

Xun Shaoyu's eyes sparkled, causing the six powerful emperors to bow their heads and remain silent.

After all, Xun Shaoyu opened up Dayue with one hand. Even though he has not been in Longting to preside over the great fortune of the country all year round, his identity as the pioneer can naturally suppress many dissatisfaction.

"Taizu!"

Emperor Taizong looked ashamed and said, "I thought this matter simply and did not understand the key point."

Xun Shaoyu said lightly: "The blame is not yours, it's just that you are not qualified enough to have an overview of the overall situation."

"The yang world is the foundation of our yin world. The yang world is full of rebellions. We must not let it go. Otherwise, the red dragon will change and my personality will drop by half. It will be the time when the crisis of our Great Yue Dragon Court breaks out."

"Our opponents are not just 'them'. If circumstances permit, those land lords will not hesitate to bite us a few times. How can we leave our life and death, our survival, to others?"

Emperor Mu pondered for a while and then said: "Taizu, Sun Chen is worried that Emperor Changlong will not be able to hold a big position. When the rebellion from all sides becomes out of control... what should we do?"

Xun Shaoyu lowered his eyelids and said, "So, this is still a choice!"

"If Changlong's performance is really unsatisfactory, then he will not need to return to the Yang world. I will choose a suitable candidate to return to the Yang world to replace him as emperor and stabilize our country."

"Dragon Qi, I can't afford to lose it!"

Looking at the restless red dragon, Xun Shaoyu's face was expressionless. The authority of Zulong slowly comforted the restless red dragon.

But having said that, if Xun Shaoyu forcibly suppressed the emperor, even if he was an ancestral dragon, he would have to endure a lot of backlash.

"Let's take a look at the results of Zhao De's godson."

"Here!"

Only then did the emperors deeply realize the importance Xun Shaoyu attached to this war.

He actually said the words of deposing the emperor. Even if Xun Shaoyu, as the great ancestor of a dynasty, had such words, it was inappropriate for the times.

It is precisely because of this that several emperors have become increasingly aware of the tragedy of this war.

"It seems that I have to be more cautious!"

The six emperors all chanted in their hearts at the same time.

For Xun Shaoyu to pay so much attention to it, it is almost self-evident that the danger of that battle is huge.

Emperor Taizong sighed secretly: "This is another test!"

In the past, Taizong was just a concubine, but he was able to stand out among many vassal kings because he had a clear idea of ​​Taizu's mind.At the right time, did the right thing.

At this time, Emperor Changlong's situation was very similar to that of Emperor Taizong.

If Emperor Changlong made a wrong step, his fate could be predicted.
