Chapter 366: The Battle of the Founding of a Nation

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Emperor Longqing has not yet gone to court, and all the officials are looking at the front with strange expressions.

Cui Xiang, the chief minister of the cabinet, was one step behind. Du Xiang, a popular figure in the court, bowed to wait on him, and the six ministers did not dare to approach.

Sanwu sat on the chair that was given to him during the Daxing period.

At that time, Sanwu cultivated himself to become the Yang God, and his talent was extremely high. Emperor Daxing wanted to call him back to the royal family, and gave him a golden chair in front of the palace as a mark of honor.

As a result, Sanwu devoted himself to Taoism, accepted the benefits from the court, and went back to Wulong Mountain to practice in seclusion under the pretext of retreat.

After the retreat, Emperor Daxing collapsed.

"I heard that you, little baby, are very trusted by His Majesty. You will have to speak for me later."

Du Si said with a smile: "I don't dare to disobey the real person. I don't know what official position is appropriate for me in the court?"

"Official position?"

Sanwu thought for a moment, took out several seals from his sleeves, picked them over and said, "That's it, the late emperor's grand master!"

The title of Grand Master is the first rank, which is given by the imperial court to high-ranking officials and experts. It expresses favor but does not have actual duties.

Du Si agreed: "I will support the Grand Master..."

Sanwu nodded slightly, glanced at Cui Yongnian, who was waiting for His Majesty, and secretly wondered what the old scheming man had planned.

Cui Yongnian and Sanwu didn't have any deep hatred, but they had a lot of disagreements, and they secretly cursed each other.

"Your Majesty is here!"

The voice of Eunuch Chu came into the palace, and all the ministers stood in wait for Emperor Longqing.

After Emperor Longqing sat on the dragon chair, all the officials kowtowed to the ground and shouted three times: "Long live, long live, long live, long live, long live."

Ever since King Yan first shouted "Long Live Three Times" and the princes and ministers of the previous dynasty followed suit, it became a routine under Emperors Hongde and Longqing.

It was not that the officials didn't discuss it behind their backs, saying that the court was full of people who flattered the emperor and had no literary character. When they went to the court, no one reported the matter. Everyone knew in their hearts that His Majesty generally liked it.

Maybe if you submit a letter, you will cancel the three cheers, and your Majesty will praise you in public, but you will inevitably wear your shoes afterwards.

Even if His Majesty is magnanimous and doesn't care about it, he still can't stop someone from saying "Long Live Long Live" secretly and outwardly. The chaos in the court is a hundred times more intense than others.

Sanwu suddenly became an eyesore in the palace, sitting awkwardly on the golden chair. He did not stand up to salute, nor did he caress his beard indifferently.

Emperor Longqing ignored the officials and walked down the jade steps in a few quick steps. He took the initiative to greet Sanwu: "Uncle Zeng Huang, there is no need to get up. I have long heard of your reputation. You are the seed of Taoism that is unparalleled in the royal family."

Yunxiao Taoist Palace is now the leader of the Taoist sect, and with the True Immortal Patriarch alive, Sanwu's status has risen sharply.

When Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, the Taoist sect gave unequivocal support, so he was very kind to Sanwu.

Sanwu's face turned red when he heard this. His reputation in the royal family was not very good.

"Your Majesty is full of praise. The veteran's achievements are all due to the support of the imperial court."

The two foxes exchanged greetings and compliments. Emperor Longqing returned to the dragon chair and sat across from the officials, saying that everyone loved him.

After that, there were many miscellaneous affairs in the court, most of which were based on the changes made by the Dashun court, which caused a lot of trouble.

Daqian has a population of hundreds of millions, and the sixteen states have to deal with a lot of things every day, ranging from local rebellions to asking for instructions to be executed and beheaded.

Emperor Longqing did not have the magical power of the Zhouyi clone, so he had to decide one by one, and it was not until noon that he finally solved the problem.

"If you have something to do, report it early; if nothing happens, leave the court!"

When Eunuch Chu finished speaking, all the officials were about to bow and retreat.

Sanwu stood up from the golden chair and said: "Your Majesty, I have a book for you!"

Emperor Longqing was not surprised by this. With Sanwu's habit of not going to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, he must have come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to seek something from the court.

"Uncle Zeng Huang, please tell me."

Sanwu said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Da Qian to send civil and military officials to support the founding of Da Chu."

"Dachu?"

Emperor Longqing was confused and looked at Eunuch Chu beside him.

Eunuch Chu was in charge of the Chamber of Servants, and he monitored local developments for the emperor's eyes and ears. He said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I don't know where Da Chu is."

The same was true for all the officials, who were talking a lot and asking where Da Chu was.

Sanwu replied: "Your Majesty, Da Chu is still in the process of preparation and has not yet established a country. Now Da Chu has occupied the periphery of Cangsuyuan and expanded into Fengzhou, with a population of millions."

"Fengzhou? Cangsuyuan?"

Emperor Longqing thought for a moment and said: "It is more than a million miles away from Daqian territory, and a common man has traveled through it in his lifetime. The imperial court's help to the civil and military officials of Dachu is wasted."

"Your Majesty, this matter should be based on the way of making friends from far away and attacking close by!"

Sanwu explained: "Fengzhou is far away from Daqian, with Dashun and Hunxi Demon Kingdoms in between. Attacking from the north and south, it may be possible to open up new territories!"

Opening up new territories is the ideal of all emperors, and Emperor Longqing was no exception.

"My dear friends, what do you think of this matter?"

The words fell.

All the officials stood with their hands tied and said nothing, and the originally bustling court suddenly became quiet.

The first is that I heard His Majesty’s intention, and the second is that Sanwu is not easy to mess with and likes to stab villains behind their backs.

"Uncle Zeng Huang, do you not know your relationship with Da Chu?"

Sanwu said: "Da Chu is the Grand Master, and it is a newly opened spiritual land for the human race. It is in urgent need of official management."

An official stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Fengzhou has now become a spiritual desert, and it is difficult for monks to grow their magic power in it. As a result, there will definitely be no monks going there, and it will be difficult for the country to grow."

"The only ones who don't have it are Buddhist and Taoist monks, while Confucianism and Law refine righteousness, and martial arts refine essence. The thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth has little impact!"

Sanwu said: "If Buddhism and Taoism don't go to Fengzhou, it happens that hundreds of schools and martial arts are prosperous. This is a God-given opportunity!"

Emperor Longqing pondered for a moment, and suddenly heard the voice of Yuexia Lao Ren, asking him to agree to support Da Chu.

The statue of Yuexia Lao Ren is now worshipped alone in the Yue Lao Temple of the imperial palace, which is one of the foundations of Da Gan's national defense.

Emperor Longqing nodded slightly when he heard the words. The true god issued an order. Not to mention sending civil and military officials, even if millions of people were taken to Fengzhou, it would not be a big deal.

"I promised my great uncle about this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sanwu had prepared many excuses, but he didn't think they would be useless. He suddenly felt that Emperor Longqing was much more pleasing to the eye than the previous emperors.

The court was full of shrewd people. When they heard Emperor Longqing's decisive words, their minds turned quickly. How could they not know that someone was guiding them behind the scenes? No matter whether it was the Martial Saint or the True God, no one dared to speak out against it.

The officials who originally opposed supporting Da Chu immediately changed their words and called Da Chu a brotherly country.

"That's great. Da Chu has no more than a million people."

Emperor Longqing said slowly: "My great uncle will draw up a list. Officials who have retired from the court and countless candidates waiting to be replaced can all serve in Da Chu."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sanwu stood up from the golden chair and bowed to show his gratitude.

Officials in the court had their own thoughts, thinking about which descendant to send to Da Chu to expand the family.

Da Chu is now vast and sparsely populated, so it may rise in the future. If officials and their families serve in Da Chu, even if Da Gan is executed, there will be a bloodline outside.

...

Spring Breeze Tower.

Orioles sing and swallows dance, and the hibiscus tent is warm.

After Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, his governing style was gentle, and the brothels gradually returned to their bustling and prosperous state.

Even at noon, there were already quite a few people in the building.

The newly promoted courtesan stretched her waist and danced, singing in a clear and melodious voice, attracting guests to shout and spend money, just to get a beautiful woman to thank her.

Men outside the building always like passionate and hot women, but when they enter Chunfeng Building, they look for pure and clean women.

"This courtesan sings well."

Zhang Cheng sat upright in the private room, without hugging left and right, just listening to the music.

Today, I met Zhou Yi in Chunfeng Building, claiming that I am a pure and upright god, and I am in charge of the marriage of husband and wife, so I must be clean first.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Brother Zhang can tie a red thread for me."

"Old Zhang, I am a playboy, and I have long been disheartened. Don't harm others."

Zhang Cheng's eyes sparkled with spiritual light, looking at the guests in the field. Many of them were involved with the courtesan, and some of them were involved in marriage, but it was a pity that the shallow illusion was not a good relationship.

Among them, there was a scholar in a green shirt, who was painting for the courtesan.

"You have purple clouds on your head and look like a top scholar. You are the one!"

Zhang Cheng tapped his finger lightly, and the courtesan and the scholar were connected by the red thread of marriage. Under the influence of Yue Lao's divine power, they will definitely have an unforgettable love in the future.

Zhou Yi calculated with his fingers and shook his head slightly, saying: "It's a pity that it is not a good marriage, and the ending is difficult to be happy."

The red thread of marriage can be said to be a destined couple, but it is not destined to be successful. It is also affected by many external factors, such as the scholar will eventually marry a woman from the royal family of Da Gan.

Dagan's fortune is prosperous, and the scholar seeks power, even if the red thread of marriage is difficult to tie.

Zhang Cheng wanted to tear the red thread when he heard it, but raised his hand and finally gave up.

"At least this result is much better than being reduced to being a prostitute."

As the position of Yue Xia Lao Ren, Zhang Cheng has seen many breakups and reunions, and few people can grasp a good marriage. Sometimes Zhang Cheng deliberately intervenes, but the man and woman still go their separate ways, and he is really discouraged.

The courtesan naturally didn't know that the immortals and gods were talking about her. She was dancing and her feet suddenly tilted and she fell off the stage.

The scholar was quick to throw away his brush, rushed over to catch the fallen courtesan, and hugged her tightly.

The fragrance filled her nose and her mind was rippling.

The courtesan gently pushed the scholar away, returned to the stage, and quickly blended into the music and continued to sing.

The scholar was lost and looked down to find a mandarin duck handkerchief on the ground.

In the eyes of Zhou Yi and Zhang Cheng, such a scene could easily be calculated by divination.

"I remember that the first time I came to Chunfeng Tower, I listened to this song. Unfortunately, the courtesan who sang the song and the scholar who painted no longer felt the same as before!"

"Hehe."

Zhang Cheng smiled proudly, "Old Zhang has listened to Taizu opera for me for two hundred years, and I have never been bored. It's just that every time I listen, it's different."

Zhou Yi listened to the courtesan's graceful tone on the stage and said slowly.

"The battle for the founding of the Great Chu is about to begin. Similar to the Taizu in the song, I wonder if he was nervous when Yunzhou was founded."

"Of course not."

Zhang Cheng said with reason: "The battle for the founding of Dagan was not fought against the coalition forces of the Yunzhou countries, but against the Luoshui Dragon Palace that had occupied Luoshui for thousands of years..."

At that time, Ao Lie led the Yunzhou monster tribe and attempted to divide the land with Dagan, with the mountains and waters belonging to the Dragon Palace and the plains and cities belonging to Dagan.

"Taizu was so courageous that he rebuked the Dragon Palace messenger and broke with him before he was certified as a Martial Saint. He immediately led his troops to attack the monsters in the mountains and waters. Those who obeyed were enthroned as mountain and water gods and spared their lives, while those who resisted stubbornly were killed!"

"Ao Lie was furious and made Taizu flee to the underworld with his great power."

"Come out again, and suppress Dagan's luck with the honor of a Martial Saint!"

Zhang Cheng said passionately, wishing he could take his place: "Now the battle for the founding of the Chu State must be fought against monsters and demons, so that it can be respected by the human race in the world!"

"It should be so!"

Zhou Yi said: "The Chu State is the first, and there will be the Qin Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty in the future... until the world is full of human dynasties!"

The monsters plundered the spirit veins everywhere and established the Monster Court, causing the spiritual energy of many continents to collapse.

The thin spiritual energy is not suitable for cultivation, but the human race is born with spiritual intelligence, and can build villages and cities even without cultivation.

The monster race has no spiritual energy, but is just a muddleheaded monster beast, and even the blood in the body will degenerate, gradually becoming a wild beast.

Zhang Cheng said: "I, Old Zhang, can't fight and kill, but I can make men and women more obsessed and have more children, otherwise there will be no people under the rule with the name of the country."

The Qingfu Zhengshen on the Conferred God List is not only immortal, but Hongluan and Yue Lao increase the population, the door god guards the house, the rain god and thunder god can bring good weather, etc. Many powers can strengthen the human race.

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, listening to the opera sung by the courtesan, and couldn't help sighing.

"It's a pity that Dagan Taizu, such a great hero, can't sit and talk!"

Zhou Yi listened to the courtesan's gentle tone on the stage and said slowly.

"The battle for the founding of the Great Chu is about to begin. Similar to the Taizu in the song, I wonder if he was nervous when Yunzhou was founded."

"Of course not."

Zhang Cheng said with reason: "The battle for the founding of Dagan was not fought against the coalition forces of the Yunzhou countries, but against the Luoshui Dragon Palace that had occupied Luoshui for thousands of years..."

At that time, Ao Lie led the Yunzhou monster tribe and attempted to divide the land with Dagan, with the mountains and waters belonging to the Dragon Palace and the plains and cities belonging to Dagan.

"What a courageous Taizu was. He rebuked the Dragon Palace messenger and broke with him before he was certified as a Martial Saint. He immediately led his troops to attack the monsters in the mountains and waters. Those who obeyed were enthroned as mountain and water gods, and those who survived were killed, while those who resisted stubbornly were all killed!"

"Ao Lie was furious and made Taizu flee to the underworld with his great power."

"Come out again, and suppress Dagan's luck with the honor of a Martial Saint!"

Zhang Cheng said passionately, wishing he could take his place: "Now the battle for the founding of the Chu State must be fought against monsters and demons, so that it can be respected by the human race in the world!"

"It should be so!"

Zhou Yi said: "The Chu State is the first, and there will be the Qin, Tang, and Han in the future... until the world is full of human dynasties!"

The monsters plundered the spirit veins everywhere and established the Monster Court, causing the spiritual energy of many continents to collapse.

The spiritual energy is thin and not suitable for cultivation, but the human race is born with intelligence, and can build villages and cities even without cultivation.

The demon race has no spiritual energy, they are just muddleheaded demon beasts, even their blood will degenerate, and gradually become wild beasts.

Zhang Cheng said: "I, Old Zhang, can't fight and kill, but I can make men and women more obsessed and have more children, otherwise there will be no people under the rule even if there is only a country name."

The Qingfu Zhengshen on the Conferred God List is not only immortal, but Hongluan and Yue Lao increase the population, the door god guards the house, the rain god and thunder god can bring good weather, etc. Many powers can strengthen the human race.

Zhou Yi nodded slightly, listening to the opera sung by the courtesan, and couldn't help sighing.

"It's a pity that Dagan Taizu, such a great hero, can't sit and talk!"
