Chapter 5 Beichen Emperor

The battle of the Donghua Emperor Que against the Scattered Cultivation Alliance came quickly and ended just as quickly. Lewen Mobile Network

In just one day, the war was over, and there was a bit of a comical feeling of anticlimactic.

The five Great Emperors True Monarchs, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of scattered cultivators, announced to Kyushu the next day and surrendered unconditionally.

In this battle, the most elite special operations command of the Ethereal Army lost a total of 100,000 soldiers, and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance went dozens of times more. Compared to the ratio of the two sides, the Ethereal Army is not too cheap.

Fortunately, because of Zhanbai's shot, with his means and scheming, he easily killed Sai Taisui and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord in a row, completely shocked the other three, and finally ended the battle ahead of schedule.

Needless to say, the post-war integration matters, tens of millions of loose cultivators unconditionally surrendered, attached to the Donghua Emperor, how to deal with it, is undoubtedly an extremely important matter. If it is handled well, there is no doubt about the improvement of the strength of Donghua Dique. But if it is not handled well, it may also become a great burden, and even drag down the Donghua Emperor Que to the catastrophe.

Just when the news had just spread all over Kyushu and it was too late to set off a huge wave, another shocking news spread immediately.

On the third day after the war, Zhanbai suddenly opened the court and publicly announced an extremely important will.

Donghua Emperor Que has since changed its name to Donghua Huachen Emperor Que, and Zhanbai is still the supreme ruler, but under it, he has been given a title that has never been seen before.

Literally, the word side by side means that he has a status comparable to that of the emperor, and the "pole" is that word, and the king of heaven is the lord. Taken together, the significance of the three is obvious.

The word side by side with the Heavenly King, still belongs to the king, although nominally side by side, but in fact it is still dominated by Zhanbai as the emperor, but in the ranks of the Heavenly King, it is the highest status. Even in some specific periods, it is possible to perform the duties of the emperor on behalf of the white.

And the one who enjoys this honorable title is undoubtedly Zhan Yibai.

Zhan Yibai does not have a fief, but he is about to build a slightly smaller palace group next to the Donghua Emperor Que, named Beichen Emperor Que.

The newly built Beichen Emperor Que will set up a meeting hall, also known as the small court, one to take care of the Beichen Emperor Que, and the other is to solve problems and deal with government affairs for Zhan Yibai, and the civil and military affairs are all appointed and dismissed by Zhan Yibai himself.

In addition, Zhanbai also created a new department with real power, called Siqingzhi, which is divided into internal and external direct.

The inner straight is presided over by Zhanbai himself, and the outer straight is handed over to Zhan Yibai to lead.

As for the purpose of this newly built department, Zhanbai was kept silent and listed as a top secret, and it was not until many years later that it was declassified, in fact, it was a secret spy structure, and the internal direct was responsible for inspecting the interior, from preventing internal rebellion and rebellion, to the dereliction of duty and slackness of officials, etc., all of which were in the ranks of the internal direct spying. The foreign government is responsible for the external and secret development of external agents to obtain information.

Because of the establishment of the Beichen Emperor, it is no longer appropriate to call this flying land Donghua Emperor, in this matter, Zhanbai did not become strong and self-dictatorated, but put it in the court, and after the discussion of the monarch and ministers, it was finally named the imperial capital.

Do not leave, the meaning is not to leave, the deep meaning is self-evident.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately exceeded the heat of the surrender of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, causing Kyushu to shake again and again.

I know that I am naturally secretive, but those who don't know are asking everywhere, who is this Zhan Yibai, and what is the relationship between Zhan Bai and Donghua Jiuxiao Emperor Zhanbai?

Not only the outside world, but also the court of Emperor Donghua has also set off great waves, and the most concerned about them is undoubtedly Guiguzi.

Before Zhan Yibai came, Guiguzi was undoubtedly the person with the highest status in the court, except for Zhan Bai, but now?

The word is side by side with the Heavenly King, and he has a small court subordinate to him, how can he be controlled by a big Sikong?

After staying in the next court, Guiguzi rarely refused the banquet of a colleague, returned to his mansion in the imperial capital with a blank face, and then locked himself in the study.

Zhan Yibai's sudden killing, in the eyes of outsiders, is more of an accident and doubt, but for Guiguzi, it is not so simple.

Guiguzi is a smart person, in fact, when he defected to Zhanbai with a dry and scattered cultivation, he had already expected that his actions would definitely attract Zhanbai's jealousy.

And being jealous of the king, as a courtier, is undoubtedly extremely dangerous. But as a smart person, Guiguzi still did this.

The reason is very simple, that is, before Zhanbai's power is established, he will fight for greater interests and gain greater power for himself.

Since ancient times, the relationship between monarchs and ministers has been complicated.

The king is strong and the minister is weak, and the king is weak and the minister is strong, which is not a good thing.

Zhanbai seems to be weak, but Guiguzi has never looked down on him from beginning to end, just because he is the reincarnation of Fuxi and one of the Nine Emperors during the flood famine.

In the hands of this kind of emperor through the ages, if he can't be strong, then it is very easy to become a vassal, and this is obviously not what Guiguzi wants.

In order to avoid this, he would have to establish a huge advantage at the beginning, so that he could have the background to wrestle with Zhanbai in the future to achieve the balance he wanted.

Unfortunately, different people stand in different positions, even for the same purpose, and their thoughts and ideas are completely different.

As far as Zhanbai is concerned, he may also know the principle of the balance between monarchs and ministers, and after the court is stabilized in the future, it is bound to slowly develop in this direction, but as a king, there is a premise, that is, this change must be under his own control.

And this is the source of the conflict between him and Guiguzi.

Even if the ultimate goal of the two is the same, they both seek the initiative, to put it bluntly, in fact, they still do not fully trust each other.

Guiguzi wanted to have more say from the beginning, and at a critical time, he even did not hesitate to kidnap the entire court to compete with Zhanbai. And Zhan Bai hopes that everything is under his control, and there can be disagreements and arguments in the court, but it must not touch his own interests, otherwise, if everything is pointed out by the courtiers below, then what does the emperor mean.

To this end, the two made moves one after another.

Guiguzi recruited hundreds of scattered cultivators to take refuge in Zhanbai first, in exchange for a large number of official positions and honors, which can be said to have taken the lead.

In contrast, although Zhanbai also made some moves, such as sealing the Great Sage of Qi Tian as the king of heaven, and sealing some of the descendants of the Sword Pavilion, he was still at a great disadvantage in the court.

Fortunately, when the court was first built, there were strong enemies outside, which made Guiguzi extremely low-key more often.

This problem must be solved.

Xudu is the back hand of Zhanbai's preparation, as for Zhan Yibai.

In fact, Zhan Yibai is not intended to target Guiguzi at all, because in his eyes, Guiguzi and Zhan Yibai are not at the same level at all.

The reason why this is so is just to give Zhan Yibai a promise and express his heart with actions, that's all.

But he thinks so, but Guiguzi may not be empathetic.

At this time, Guiguzi obviously regarded Zhan Yibai as Zhan Bai's backhand to limit himself.

The existence of the Beichen Emperor's Political Affairs Hall undoubtedly divided the power of the Great Court to a certain extent, and dividing the power of the Great Court at this time is tantamount to dividing the interests belonging to Guiguzi.

This is one of them.

The second is the title of Zhan Yibai, the word side by side with the king of heaven, and the title is "extreme", which shows that he has surpassed Guiguzi's position as the great priest in terms of status.

These two are still the main sources of danger, and there are more other aspects, such as the mysterious Si Zhizhi, although he does not know his duties, but he can be established by Zhanbai himself, it is by no means a useless yamen.

Now that Zhanbai has already made a move, how should he deal with it?

For this reason, Guiguzi fell into deep thought.

The matter must be resolved as soon as possible, it is a must.

If you don't fight back while the Beichen Emperor Que has not yet been built and the political hall is still just a name, it will be too late when everything is settled.

But the question is back, how to deal with it?

Guiguzi's bitter and hateful face was dark and difficult to understand, and at this time he suddenly discovered a situation that was extremely unfavorable to him.

Because the current court was first built, in addition to sealing a large number of honorable people, most of the civil and military officials were idle.

And without civil and military officials, he, the big boss, is almost a bare-bones commander.

Do you rely on honor?

This is indeed a solution, but it also has its own difficulties.

Zhanbai can be said to be extremely generous to the nobles, not only to the fief, but also to the army. But he did not give a clear voice in the court.

In other words, if Guiguzi wants to rely on the strength of the nobles to fight against Zhan Yibai, there is only one way to admonish him, and this is obviously a forbidden place that must not be touched.

"Tsk, what a Zhanbai, a good Fuxi, he dug a big pit for the old man quietly." After some contemplation, Guiguzi, who couldn't think of a good way with a hard time, not only sighed, but soon showed a gloating smile, "It's just that you have taken so much pains to restrain the old man, but have you ever thought about it?" One word side by side with the king of heaven, and has the right to open the government and build a government, as time goes by, the tail will not be lost, and even eat itself, at that time, what should you do? ”

It was an unintentional complaint, but it made Guiguzi's eyes light up suddenly.

yes, isn't that your chance?

Once the Beichen Emperor Que shows signs of stealing the lord in the future, then at that time, he can not just take advantage of the situation, if the operation is appropriate, not only can he fall into the place of no return, but he can even take the opportunity to rise up to achieve the purpose of restricting Zhanbai.

Of course, this premise is that Emperor Beichen must have the intention of seizing the master, but in Guiguzi's view, this is almost inevitable.

The so-called one mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers, in the early stage, Donghua and Beichen may be able to respect each other like guests, but as time goes by, under the impetus of interests, even if that Zhan Yibai does not have this heart, he will be forcibly pushed by his subordinates, and even the yellow robe.

Well, there is only one remaining problem, and that is patience.

Guiguzi only needs to be patient and slowly accumulate his power in a low-key manner, and it is not difficult to have a chance to soar.

"Patience? The old man has been waiting for hundreds of thousands of years, and what else can't wait. After having a plan, Guiguzi smiled and stroked his beard, where was the previous anxiety and anxiety.

At the same time, Zhan Bai and Zhan Yibai sat as guests of honor in the side hall and sword pavilion.

"Your actions have pushed me to the forefront." Zhan Yibai looked at Zhan Bai, who was calm and relaxed, and said with a wry smile.

"There is a saying that how great the ability is, how great the responsibility. I'm a fool to let a master like you live a comfortable life. Zhan Bai smiled slightly.

Prior to this, Zhan Bai originally wanted to set up some independent palaces for Zhan Yibai to live in in the Emperor Que of Donghua, but after some careful consideration, he finally abandoned this plan.

Either you don't play, or you play big if you want to.

What's more, in this way, it will not make Zhan Yibai feel like a parasitic person in the future.

"If you do this, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people who won't be able to sleep tonight." Zhan Yibai is obviously not as easy as Zhan Bai, after he learned of Zhan Bai's decision in advance, he has already sorted out the possible consequences of this change.

Needless to say, the court of Emperor Donghua is definitely enough to make that Guiguzi worry a little. Externally, the news will be even more explosive.

Zhan Yibai: Suddenly, the news of the Great Emperor's True Monarch Realm had already reached the ears of several other Great Emperors and even Heavenly Court when he was in Huaguo Mountain that day.

And Zhan Bai's impatient move to divide Zhan Yibai undoubtedly acquiesced to a large extent to the issues that several other people were most concerned about.

That is Zhan Yibai's identity, to put it more bluntly, it is the reincarnation of Haotian.

Donghua Emperor Que, Beichen Emperor Que, no matter how you look at it, this is the same status. And the word side by side Heavenly King, in the eyes of those people, is just a temporary expediency.

When the world is decided, it is impossible to say, and this word side by side Heavenly King will become another emperor who is completely parallel to Zhanbai.

In this way, the change of direction proves the previous speculation.

Fu Xi and Haotian reached some kind of agreement, one bright and one dark, coordinated development. Fuxi is in the light, Haotian is in the dark, and because of their status, this agreement must be equal. In other words, in the early stage, although Fuxi had an advantage, in the future, in order to fulfill his promise, he would definitely support Haotian step by step.

And the word "Heavenly King" is the first step for Fuxi to support Haotian.

"Zhan Yibai must be Haotian, and Haotian must be Zhan Yibai." The same words sounded in Heaven, Julu, Spring and Autumn, the three continents of the earth, and even in the Daomen Penglai and the abbot of the Buddhist Gate, and they spoke in unison.

At the same time, it is also a signal.

Haotian finally couldn't bear the loneliness and was about to turn into the light. And after the alliance between the two emperors of Yan and Huang, Fu Xi and Haotian also appeared in the eyes of the world for the first time in the form of an alliance.

"Teacher, should we talk to Chiyou?" In the Spring and Autumn Continent, Taihao stood on the top of a big mountain and suggested to Bodhi without worry.

Bodhi didn't seem to hear half of it, and looked down, looking at the hot scene at the foot of the mountain, and replied, "With the current progress, if these hundred mountains want to rise from the ground like the imperial capital, I'm afraid it will take some time." ”

"Teacher, it's time like this, how can I have time to care about these little things?" Taihao said anxiously.

"Hey, although we have a heart for this matter, Chiyou may not be intentional. To put it bluntly, the situation here is a little different from that of Yan, Huang, Fu, and Hao. "Bodhi corrected the positive color, not without solemnity.

"What's the difference?"
