Chapter 1432 Merit Map
"Shua!"
Descending from the sky, a straight line fell on the steps of the ancestral temple deep in the palace.
At this time, all the ministers were present, Lin Hui, Zhang Lingyue, Wang Shuang, Nan Gongchi, one minister and three princes, and many civil and military officials. In front, there was a grand and solemn building, the ancestral temple, where the king worshiped the ancestors, In the king's place, in the past, when Xuanyuanying and Xuanyuanli were there, before each large-scale expedition, it was necessary to burn incense in the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors and pray for protection.
Now, where is this trouble?
I walked up the steps step by step and said with a smile, "What is this for?"
Lin Hui frowned, and said: "I will follow His Majesty's imperial decree to go to the Ancestral Temple to worship on behalf of His Majesty when the four mountains of the empire are completed, so as to leave this mark on the merit map, but... the clan members who guard the Ancestral Temple Wait, they won't let us in, they say..."
He hesitated.
I laughed and said, "They said I'm not from the Xuanyuan family, so I'm not eligible to enter the ancestral temple?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please appease your anger."
"I am not angry."
I waved my hand and walked in front, leading all the ministers up the steps to the ancestral temple.
At the end of the steps, there are many armored soldiers, all wearing blue armor, who are responsible for guarding the ancestral temple. They are probably the Imperial Forest Army in the Imperial Forest Army. Behind the armored soldiers, there is a group of clan members. The so-called clan refers to the royal family. , are all members of Xuanyuanying's lineage, who hold considerable power in the empire, and sometimes even influence some important decisions in the court.
A group of people in the clan, headed by a man with a gray beard and hair wearing a princely robe.
Mingyang Wang Xuanyuanyi, the younger brother of Xuanyuanying's mother and compatriot, after Xuanyuanli was killed by "bandits" on the way to Yunxi Province, Xuanyuanying should be the most powerful person in the Xuanyuan clan, and now he is also the leader of the entire clan Yang, the real patriarch, naturally, people with the surname of Xuanyuan must be most hostile to me, who is not surnamed Xuanyuan but "steals Longting".
...
"King Mingyang!"
I stepped on the steps and walked in front of the crowd, ignoring the confrontation of a group of soldiers with swords, clasped my fists and said with a smile: "Why is this so, Prime Minister Lin just wants to leave a mark on the map of merits and virtues. The empire casts four mountains and protects the common people in the world. Shouldn’t the merits and deeds be left on the merit map of the ancestral temple?”
Xuanyuanyi frowned: "If you don't have the surname Xuanyuan, you can't enter the ancestral temple. This is the regulation set by the ancestors. It's not that I, Xuanyuanyi, make things difficult for you. It's just that the rules are here, and no one can trample on them at will."
"right!"
Behind him, people surrounded him and said indignantly, "If you are not named Xuanyuan, what qualifications do you have to enter my Xuanyuan's ancestral temple and let our ancestors see outsiders stealing the throne?"
They spit saliva, angry but timid.
"Okay, okay."
I nodded and smiled, and said: "My surname is not Xuanyuan. There is no way. If I am not qualified to go in to worship ancestors, I am not qualified. If I don't go in, let Lin Hui and other officials go in and write merit maps. Is that okay?"
"It doesn't work either."
Xuanyuan Yi frowned and said: "After every meritorious deed in the merit map is written, it must be signed and stamped by the emperor himself. Dare I ask, if Xuanyuan casts the merit of casting four mountains, if the name of the seal is not Xuanyuan Emperor, is this in line with the etiquette?"
"Then what to do?"
I laughed: "The deposed Emperor Xuanyuanli was killed by bandits on the way to Yunxi Province. Although I am sad and angry, there is nothing I can do. I have no way to revive Xuanyuanli and let him sign this cast." The map of merit and virtue of the four mountains."
"snort!"
Wang Shuang raised his finger and said with a sneer, "King Mingyang, there are some things you must never forget. The four mountains of the empire were all conferred by the Emperor Xiaoyao, and the last one was presided over by His Majesty Liuhuo himself. How could the merits not reach Xuanyuanli's death, right? Besides, don't the merits of foreign surnames count as merits?"
"that is!"
Nangong Chi frowned and said: "In this world, there are no courtiers with tens of thousands of surnames working together. Can the Xuanyuan family really survive forever? I don't think so. Emperor Longwu once said that we should rule the world together with scholars and warriors. When it comes to you Xuanyuanyi, your brother's words don't matter? The merit map has become the Xuanyuan family's family?"
"Rules are rules!"
Xuanyuan Yi suddenly raised a golden halberd in his hand, and said: "The Shenlongge bestowed by the ancestors is here, who dares to do it wrong? Seeing Shenlongge is like seeing the ancestors, even if the emperor Xuanyuan Ying is still there, he will be courteous." How dare you break into the ancestral temple with a foreign surname like Liu Huo?"
"No break, no break."
I shook my head and smiled, then pointed at the soldiers on both sides of Xuanyuanyi, my voice became colder, and said: "Xuanyuanyi is the king of Mingyang, I dare not touch him, but you soldiers guarding the ancestral temple are so wide-eyed! Dog eyes, you are pointing your sword at the current majesty, are you... want to die?"
"Come on!"
Zhang Lingyue, Lord Lingyue raised his hand lightly, and said: "The guards of the Tiebu Camp and the Shengong Camp, come up to me, and anyone who dares to use a sword against His Majesty will be killed directly!"
"yes!"
Thousands of soldiers flocked to the ancestral temple.
Immediately, a group of soldiers who originally supported Xuanyuanyi lowered their swords and dared not put on a look of death. If they really wanted to fight, the thousands of soldiers guarding the ancestral temple were not enough to kill them. Their combat power was useless in front of the Liuhuo Legion. That's all.
...
I took a deep breath and said, "King Ming Yang, I didn't intend to make things too bad. I don't care if you guard your ancestral temple. As a foreigner, I really don't want to enter the ancestral temple, but you don't want to interfere with my work. Such a major event as casting four mountains must leave a mark on the merit map, whether you want to or not, you have to leave this mark."
"You..." Xuanyuanyi's body trembled slightly, he was indeed old, and his cultivation level was not good enough, so he couldn't stay young forever.
I lightly waved my hand and said: "The reason why I didn't order the cavalry to level the ancestral temple was also because of the late emperor Xuanyuanying. He regarded him as his nephew. I must maintain this respect. The ancestral temple is the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family. I can't move it, so Let’s all make some concessions, I won’t enter the ancestral temple, on the contrary, you take out the merit map, and we write merits outside the ancestral temple, how about it?”
"no!"
Xuanyuan Yi was already trembling all over: "On the emperor's seal of the merit map, there must be no foreign surnames!"
"Can."
I waved my hand: "Lin Hui, send someone to pick up Chujun Xuanyuanji, and ask him to sign the merit map after it is completed."
"yes!"
I looked at Xuanyuanyi again, and said, "I have made concessions to this point, if you are aggressive again, I will kill you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Both Zhang Lingyue and Wang Shuang showed hideous faces.
Xuanyuan Yi had nothing to say, so he could only sit on the steps with a group of people from the ancestral temple.
...
After waiting for a while, Crown Prince Xuanyuanji was picked up. Although he was young, he was dressed in a Confucian shirt. When he saw me, he immediately saluted and shouted to see His Majesty, which made a group of Xuanyuan people very upset, and I was even more upset. This emperor is really aggrieved. It was a bit difficult for Xuanyuan to let me be a strongman. If I had known this, I would have established Xuanyuanji as the new emperor. I would be the regent and take charge of the court. Xishan should not have such strong luck as it is now. The strength of the emperor can also affect the luck of the mountains and rivers, there is no doubt about it.
"Master Lin."
I also sat down on the steps and asked, "What is the effect after the merit map is written?"
Lin Hui cupped his hands respectfully, and said: "The map of merit and virtue is a gift from heaven, which can reflect the existence of the way of heaven. Once we write on the map of merit and virtue, we will forge the merits of the four mountains. This merit will reach the will of heaven, and then the sky will feed back to the earth. The higher the merit, the stronger the repayment you will get, maybe, our Xuanyuan Empire can gain some vitality."
"Well, does it matter who signs the seal?"
"some."
Lin Huidao: "Longwu Emperor Xuanyuanying, as the emperor of Zhongxing, once signed a meritorious deed to open up the southern border, which was refuted by the heavens, so our Yunxi Province and Lingnan Province have good weather every year, and have become the empire. The granary, the luck is high, and these two provinces have become the heads of the major provinces of the empire. The higher the merit and the more tenacious the heart of the signer, the more God's will will feed back, and it should be like this."
I said secretly: "Since there are so many benefits, why would Xuanyuanji sign and seal it? He will sneak it to me later, and I will sign it myself."
Lin Hui couldn't help smiling: "Yes, the minister leads the decree!"
...
Not long after, a four-meter-high and six-meter-long golden dragon wall was carried out from the ancestral temple. At that time, Prime Minister Lin came forward, conveying the true meaning of Confucianism in his handwriting, and quickly left a passage about Zhu Siyue in the merit map.
"Shua!"
The moment Lin Hui finished writing, a majestic golden light shot up into the sky, resonating extremely strongly. God's will had already understood everything about Zhu Siyue, and the surrounding world became dark. , a long and ancient voice came from the air——
"Those who cast the Four Mountains will burn in July, come forward and sign the seal!"
...
Tsk tsk, God's will is manifest!
I stepped forward, raised my eyebrows at a group of people from the ancestral temple, and said, "I can only sign the seal myself, do you still insist? If you go against God's will, I will help God kill you all."
Everyone trembled, and no one spoke.
...
I stepped forward slowly, holding a brush in my hand, and with all my strength, I wrote down the four words "Jiuyue Liuhuo" under the merit text with my strongest pen power. The moment I finished, the radiance was overwhelming, and the signing and sealing were completed instantly. Immediately afterwards, Lin Hui stamped the seal of the newly engraved "Liuhuo Emperor", and another ray of light rose into the sky. Xiyue, Nanyue, Beiyue, and Dongyue feed back this land.
In just this moment, Si Yue's luck has increased by at least 30% again. I am afraid that even if Lin Hai, Fertuna, and Shire join forces to ask the sword, they will not be afraid.
