Chapter 124: Politics Is a Game of Power, and a Good Ironsmith Must Be Strong Himself! (Subscribe)

"Your Highness, are you sure you want to do this?"

Zuo Zongzheng and Yang Kun frowned and couldn't help but persuade him: "You know, the influence of the golden dragon on national luck may not be able to be cut off."

"The royal family of Daqian has its own secret method that can cut off the connection between oneself and the golden dragon of national luck. As long as your highness devotes himself to practice for a few years, he may not be able to cut off the connection between himself and the golden dragon of national luck."

The practice of the Imperial Way is not the true practice of Shinto.

In Shinto practice, because there is no protection of the physical body, the soul can only survive in the world with the help of the power of Shinto belief.

As for the cultivation of the emperor's way, the Golden Dragon of National Luck and the will of all people are only auxiliary. If the emperor of the dynasty abdicates and practices secretly for a few years through secret methods, he may be able to cut off his connection with the Golden Dragon of National Luck.

Of course, the reason why the emperor of the dynasty is called the Immortal of the World and the strongest person in the world is also because he has the assistance of the Golden Dragon of National Luck.

Once you choose to abdicate and cut off the connection with the Golden Dragon of National Fortune, your strength will drop to the level of an ordinary heavenly grandmaster, and even be inferior to an ordinary heavenly grandmaster due to combat experience and daily neglect of practice.

This is also the reason why many dynasty emperors are greedy for the throne and are unwilling to abdicate early.

But what puzzles Yang Kun is why Yang An insists on pursuing temporary glory when he clearly has a path to the sky, but insists on taking a narrow path that doesn't work.

Is the position of the Son of Heaven so fascinating?

Yang An shook his head and said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Nine Emperors. However, I have already made up my mind on this matter, so I don't need to persuade you anymore."

Zuo Zongzheng and Yang Kun sighed: "Well, now that His Highness has made a decision, I won't say anything more. I just want to talk to His Highness about this matter in advance. The specific details can only be determined after returning to Tianjing City."

"Furthermore, although His Highness is the first in our Daqian royal family generation to break through to the realm of a first-level heavenly master in martial arts, and should become the Prince of Daqian, whether he can ultimately inherit the position of Emperor of Daqian depends on His Highness himself."

"I just hope that His Highness will not indulge in the game of power and politics, thereby neglecting his own martial arts practice."

"After all, you need to be strong to make iron. In this world, it is often your own strength that ultimately determines the final result."

At this moment, Yang Kun really regarded Yang An as his junior and gave sincere guidance.

He was worried that this peerless genius who had finally been born into the Daqian royal family would be tainted by power, politics and other worldly things, polluting his soul and corrupting his will, and would eventually be wiped out by everyone.

Of course, there is still a trace of hope in his heart, hoping that Yang An can really lead the Daqian Dynasty through the thousand-year calamity and create a second life of glory for the Daqian Dynasty, just as he said.

no way.

Yang Kun is also a human being. He also has descendants and needs to consider his descendants.

Once the Daqian Dynasty collapses, even if the Daqian royal family has the inheritance of ancient immortal weapons and will not be exterminated, its vitality will be severely damaged, and a large number of clan members will suffer heavy casualties.

But if Yang An, the supreme martial arts genius with the innate Taotie divine body, inherits the throne and becomes the next emperor of the Daqian Dynasty.

So even if the thousand-year evil calamity breaks out, I believe that with his strength, he will be able to lead the Daqian royal family to survive the thousand-year evil calamity safely, and once again put down the chaos in the world, and resume the glory of the second life of the Daqian Dynasty.

This is extremely good news for the entire Daqian royal family.

As Zuo Zongzheng of the Daqian royal family, Yang Kun naturally needs to consider his family and future generations.

So his choice of Yang An was full of complications.

I hope that Yang An can devote himself to cultivation, lead the powerful family members on the road to immortality, and ascend to the immortal world together.

He also hopes that Yang An can choose to practice the way of an emperor and stay in this world. After the dynasty's thousand-year calamity has passed, he will protect the Daqian royal family through the crisis and make the Daqian royal family glorious for another thousand years.

Yang An smiled and said: "Thank you, Uncle Nine Emperors, for reminding me. Yang An understands."

A political power play?

What a joke.

If he becomes the Prince of Daqian, or the Emperor of Daqian, the devil will play political power games with you.

He wants to be the supreme emperor in heaven and earth, not the puppet emperor who comes from behind.

So Yang An knows the importance of his own strength better than anyone else.

This is also the basis for his control of this world.

How can one neglect one's own practice because of political games?

"That's good."

Zuo Zongzheng Yang Kun nodded and continued: "Last question, Your Majesty and the clan asked me to ask you when you will return to Tianjing City."

When will you return to Tianjing City?

When Yang An heard this question, he thought for a moment.

On the surface, Haizhou's matter has almost been settled at this time, and his assessment for the title of king has been successfully completed.

But this is all superficial.

The difficulties between aristocratic families and martial arts sects can never be solved by killing a few leaders and suppressing them severely.

For example, the aristocratic families and martial arts sects in Haizhou don't even have a first-level martial arts grand master. How could they have the courage to go against the imperial court, or even dare to murder a Daqian prince?

The main reason lies in two points.

First, because the world's aristocratic families and martial arts sects, etc., have formed a deep-rooted interest network covering the entire world through various in-law and interest relationships.

They themselves could not be opponents of the imperial court.

But their backstage can influence the court's decision-making, and even make them enemies of the entire court.

Therefore, they do not feel that the strength of themselves and others is much worse than that of the Daqian court.

The second reason is because the court needs them.

As the saying goes, if the imperial power does not go to the countryside, the court, the noble families, and the sects will share the world.

How can the court officials collect taxes if they do not interact with the big families?

How can the court officials control local public opinion if they do not interact with the sects and gangs?

How can the court officials maintain local stability if they do not interact with the sects and gangs?

What the common people at the bottom hear, see, believe, and want to say are all manipulated by the noble families and martial arts sects.

Once there are no noble families and sects, the difficulty of the court to manage the local areas will increase by thousands of times.

It is precisely because of this thought that the noble families and martial arts sects in the local area are not afraid of the court.

Because he feels that it is not that he and others cannot do without the Daqian court, but that the Daqian court cannot do without him, and it is even more impossible to uproot them and directly destroy the two major systems of noble families and sects.

Therefore, the local big families and sects are sometimes more daring than the nine sects and six ways and the twelve noble families, and can be called lawless.

But what they didn't expect was that they would meet Yang An, a man who didn't play by the rules. He didn't care about the unspoken rules between the court, the noble families, and the sects, and directly uprooted the noble families and martial arts sects of the entire Haizhou.

This also made the noble families and martial arts sects of Haizhou, who had survived by chance, tremble in fear and panic to the extreme.

However, this fear and panic was only temporary.

As long as Yang An left Haizhou, they would rush out like sharks smelling blood, fighting to compete for the interests left by the noble families and martial arts sects that were completely wiped out by Yang An.

This is also the reason why Yang An has not left Haizhou.

He needs to wait until the dust settles before leaving.

In other words, he needs to wait until he has digested all the flesh and blood that he has finally torn off before he can leave with confidence and let Haizhou become his own treasure pot and cash cow.

To put it more bluntly, he stayed in Haizhou at this time to digest the harvest after the war, so as not to be picked by others.

However, his crowning test has been completed, and he certainly can't stay in Haizhou forever.

And because of the "Innate Taotie Divine Body" and his successful breakthrough to the first-grade Tianren Grandmaster of martial arts, the Daqian Royal Family can't let him stay in Haizhou for too long.

If other forces really get the news, he will be strangled in Haizhou.

It is hard to guarantee that they will not send top masters to strangle him.

Therefore, Emperor Tailong and the Daqian Royal Family urged Yang An to return to Beijing as soon as possible, which is also a kind of protection for him.

"Seven days later!"

Yang An estimated the time in his mind and spoke lightly.

According to his calculations, in another seven days, the Jinming Gang in his hands will almost be able to deal with the wealth of the aristocratic families and martial arts sects that were confiscated and exterminated this time.

By then, it will be time for him to leave Haizhou and return to Tianjing City.

Zuo Zongzheng Yang Kun nodded and continued, "That's fine, then wait another seven days before setting off."

He naturally saw clearly what Yang An did in Haizhou.

He even knew the reason why Yang An did this, which was to collect as many precious medicines and spiritual medicines as possible, and then use the innate gluttonous divine body to continue to improve his strength.

This is also the reason why he watched coldly and even provided some convenience for Yang An.

Because the improvement of the innate gluttonous divine body is naturally built up with a large amount of precious medicine resources.

Preventing Yang An from making money and plundering the resources of the Haizhou aristocratic families is to prevent his martial arts practice from improving. If he really does this, it would be strange if Yang An doesn't hate him.

The most important thing is that the energy will not disappear, at most it will be transferred.

If Yang An uses his own ability to get more resources in Haizhou, the Daqian royal family will need to take out less, and the Daqian royal family will have enough resources to cultivate more royal descendants.

In this way, Yang Kun has another reason to stop Yang An's behavior in Haizhou?

Even if this matter was brought to the court, it would only be a self-punishment of three cups and confinement, which would have no impact on Yang An's future.

Using a slight punishment that was not painful or itchy in exchange for tens of millions of wealth from the entire Haizhou family and martial arts sect.

The Daqian royal family made a lot of money, okay?

So regarding Yang An's behavior in Haizhou, whether it was Zuo Zongzheng Yang Kun or Emperor Tailong and others who had already known the situation, they remained silent and did not speak.

Even Emperor Tailong had people suppress the crazy petitions of Haizhou officials to buy as much time as possible for Yang An.

Anyway, the losses were all from the local forces of Haizhou, not the Daqian court or the Daqian royal family, so why not do it?

Zuo Zongzheng Yang Kun heard Yang An's answer and nodded and said, "That's good, I will report all your intentions to His Majesty and the Zongrenfu truthfully, and the rest depends on His Majesty and the Da Zongzheng's intentions."

Just as he said.

He came to discuss this matter with Yang An today, just to inform him in advance.

What kind of arrangements will Emperor Tailong make for Yang An?

I am afraid they will have to wait until they return to Tianjing City to know.

And this matter is not something that Emperor Tailong and the Grand Master can decide alone. Maybe they have to discuss it with the older generation of royal family elders.

After all, it is related to the number of immortals that the Daqian royal family can get, as well as the future of the Daqian royal family, whether they can survive the dynasty's demonic disaster and create a second glorious life.

No matter how much discussion and consultation, it is not excessive.

In front of these people, let alone him, even Yang An, the person involved, may not be able to make his own decision.

Of course, this is also Yang Kun's own idea.

Yang An doesn't think anyone can change his mind.

He can't put himself in danger for some old families of the Daqian royal family.

So he has thought about it. After returning to Beijing this time, if he can't become the prince of Daqian, he will directly apply for a vassal and come to Haizhou to develop. Guarding the two treasure pots of Haizhou and Nanyang Sea, there will be no lack of cultivation resources in the future.

Moreover, as long as his strength is enough, where can't he enjoy life?

There is no need to be controlled by others for the position of the emperor of Daqian.

"I'll trouble Uncle Nine for this matter."

Yang An smiled and said, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, I reported to my father the news of the large-scale spiritual crystal mine in Nanyang before. Did my father issue any decree?"

But he suddenly thought of the large-scale spiritual crystal mine mentioned by the Blood Slaughter Venerable.

This is also the secret behind the hijacking of the Daqian court navy's spiritual crystal ship, which implicated the governor of Haizhou and the Dongshan Luo family.

After Yang An learned the news, although he concealed it a little, he also informed Zuo Zongzheng Yang Kun and Wang Gonggong of the Silijian before clearing the White Demon Pirates, and under their advice, he directly reported it to Emperor Tailong.

But for some reason, after reporting this matter to Emperor Tailong for so long, no relevant decree has been issued.

Is the Daqian court not interested in the large spiritual crystal mine at all?

Or is it concerned about the Dongshan Luo family?

This made Yang An a little confused, and he didn't know what Emperor Tailong meant.

Zuo Zongzheng Yang Kun shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint your highness. This old minister doesn't know about this matter. I think your majesty should have other plans."

Politics is an art.

Unfortunately, Zuo Zongzheng Yang Kun doesn't understand this art very well.

So he really didn't know what Emperor Tailong and the Grand Master thought.

Perhaps the Daqian court and the Daqian royal family didn't care about a large spiritual crystal mine at all.

Or perhaps the court and the royal family had reached some kind of cooperation with the Dongshan Luo family.

Or perhaps the court and the royal family didn't want to cause trouble at this critical moment and make enemies everywhere, so they gave up the spiritual crystal mine and pretended not to know.

These are all possible.

Although Yang Kun is the left master of the Daqian Zongrenfu, it doesn't mean that he must be informed of any major decisions made by the court and the royal family.

So it is difficult for Yang Kun to answer Yang An's question.
