On the Tianqing Palace, the Spirit King sitting on the dragon chair did not wait for His Royal Highness's ministers to start playing, and spoke first: "Yesterday, the prince went to Sitian Pavilion, intending to ask the Lord of Yiming Pavilion to take a divination, help explain the astrological chaos, and prevent the disaster for my Xuanyuan Defense. Unexpectedly, when the prince went to Sitian Pavilion, he had hanged himself, leaving only a book of last words. The widow has never been able to understand the secret in this last word, and I don't know if Zhong Aiqing can explain a thing or two for the widow. ”

"Of course, of course, it is our duty to solve the king's problems. The ministers agreed.

The Spirit King was very satisfied, and asked Qinghong to read it out loud in public:

"The vast world, I don't know where to end, the sun and the moon cycle, the cycle repeats. The night is coming, the world is falling, the two moons are in the sky, and the king is in the world. ”

"I think it's nonsense, there is only one moon above Kyushu, how can there be two moons in the sky. Taifu Xiao Yuanzhi was the first to stand up and question.

"Your Majesty, the minister does not agree with what Taifu said, and the minister thinks that this is a great omen. It is true that there is only one moon in the whole world, but the other moon refers to His Majesty's Gongde Yutian, which is as bright as the moon in the sky, and brings light to the world in the dark night. Chang Jin said.

The Spirit King nodded again and again, secretly praising Chang Jin in his heart for what he said.

"The High Priest of Yiming is clearly talking about two moons, not imaginary fingers. Xiao Yuanzhi snorted heavily, often into such a traitorous villain, he only knows how to blindly flatter, but the Spirit King loves to listen to letters, sometimes there is really no way to take them.

"False fingers, you mean that the Holy High Virtue is false, Master Taifu, you can't help but be bold. Chang Jin sneered.

"The minister has never said this, please let Your Majesty know it. Xiao Yuanzhi saluted the Spirit King.

"The widow summoned you today, not to listen to your quarrel, but to let you interpret the last words left by Mr. Yiming. With such a quarrel, it must be endless, and the Spirit King waved his hand to stop them, and turned to Shang Zhu and said, "Taibu, you can talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that the high priest of Yiming must have pointed something, but the minister was stupid and couldn't understand it for the time being. Shang Zhu replied weakly.

"Didn't understand it?" the Spirit King was suddenly displeased, and his face sank, "Last time, I asked you to calculate the Northern Calamity, and you said that you couldn't calculate the result. This time it's like this again, it's extremely incompetent, so what's the use of you sitting in this position of Taishi. ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are incompetent, it's really a heavenly opportunity that cannot be revealed. Shang Zhu was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and bowed, "The minister suddenly remembered that the high priest of Yiming was facing south when he hanged himself, and the minister thought that he had pointed out the direction for our Xuanyuan Kingdom. ”

"South?" The Spirit King was puzzled: this merchant is really a low-educated bastard, and he doesn't speak at a high level, and now it's obvious that there is a problem in the north, so how can he go to the south.

"Exactly. Nanzhou is the place where the descendants of Fuxi lived. Shang Zhu paused, and then said, "Your Majesty knows that the high priest of Yiming and the ministers are from the same family, but I don't know that our founding ancestor is Fuxi, and the previous masters are all descendants of Fuxi, and we have all learned divination and calculation from him." ”

"And such a thing?" The origin of Fuxi's descendants was too great, and the Spirit King immediately expressed great interest and asked Shang Zhu to stand up and speak.

"Yes, and the current master of the gate is none other than the king of Tongbai Kingdom. Shang Zhu had already stood up, still not daring to look up at the Spirit King, "Master Fu's ability is far above us, as long as we invite him out of the mountain, he will definitely be able to show His Majesty the way to the future and save the Xuanyuan Kingdom from danger." ”

"Tongbai Country?" the Spirit King vaguely remembered hearing the name.

The Spirit King is fond of witchcraft and has studied the history of witchcraft.

Outside of Kyushu, there are many small countries, and most of the countries regard themselves as the descendants of Fuxi Nuwa, and there seem to be five or six small countries called Tongbai Kingdom, as for whether it is really created by the descendants of Fuxi, it is difficult to distinguish. But whether it is true or not, due to the influence of the Witch Alliance, these small countries from the king to the small people love to study witchcraft, which is very much to the appetite of the Spirit King, and immediately asked Shang Zhu: "This little king is really a descendant of Fuxi?"

"Fu according to the master to hide it very well, outsiders don't know his identity, Wei Chen didn't know when he first started, but also by mistake, by chance, I heard the conversation between him and the high priest of Yiming, only to learn that he is a descendant of Fu Xi. ”

"Then why didn't you explain the situation to me in the first place? ”

"It was because they saw me passing by casually that time and knew that I had discovered their secret, and made me swear that I would not spread it to the outside world, otherwise I would die with five thunderbolts. Now that the life and death of the Xuanyuan Kingdom is at stake, how can the minister let the country sink and ignore it, only to say it regardless of the poisonous oath of the year. The minister is naked to the Xuanyuan country, the sun and the moon can be revealed, and the heaven and earth can be learned. Shang Zhu's speech became more and more passionate and powerful, and his voice echoed throughout the Tianqing Palace.

After hearing Shang Zhu's words, the Spirit King's face became much better, and his tone was no longer so impulsive: "The great god of Fuxi and the widow ancestor Xuanyuan Heavenly Emperor have a very good relationship, and the little king is a descendant of Fuxi, and the widow is a descendant of Xuanyuan Heavenly Emperor, the two sides should communicate well and support each other, don't let this friendship be lost in the world." ”

"The minister is willing to go to Tongbai Country, and please come to Xuanyuan Country to assist Your Majesty. Shang Zhu said.

"Really?" the Spirit King swept away his usual tiredness, and almost jumped up with excitement, his eyes shining brightly, this was the best news he had heard in a while.

"Of course it is true, even if the minister has the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, he will not dare to deceive the king. ”

"Very good, very good!" the Spirit King changed his tired attitude just now and praised Shang Zhu.

"Speaking of the descendants of the Rising and Falling Xi, the minister heard that their ancestors had a nine-day gossip plate, and through this deduction, they can predict the major events that will occur within a thousand years. Chang Jin stood up at this time and said.

"Is there really such a artifact?" the Spirit King found it more and more interesting, these are the survival tools that wizards usually keep around, most wizards use this to divinate and predict, the more artifacts predict, the more accurate they are, and he understands the value very well.

"Shang Zhu Taibu must know. Chang Jin said.

"When Master Fu came to Jiande Palace, of course he would bring his Nine Heavens Bagua Plate. Shang Zhu said to the Spirit King, but said fiercely in his heart: This Chang Jin is really hateful, hmph, you must settle accounts with him another day.

"Without further ado, Shang Zhu Taibu will set off tomorrow, okay?" The Spirit King really couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and he couldn't wait for Shang Zhu to bring Fu Ji to him immediately, and learn the art of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil from Fu Ji.

"Yes. Shang Zhu stood up and bowed to King Ling, "The minister is worried that Master Zu is unwilling to go north, so he wants His Majesty to apply for a thousand gold shells, three thousand silver shells and a number of other rare treasures to show the sincerity of the saints." ”

"As it should be, the king agrees. Oh, no, to help Taibu, to show the sincerity of the widow, thou shalt fast and bathe for seven days, and then set out after the widow has sacrificed to heaven and thanked him. ”

"Holy one, never. Xiao Yuanzhi took a step forward and raised the divine wat to the Spirit King, his expression was very agitated, "In recent years, natural disasters have been repeated, the people have been wandering and disturbing, and the Five Elements Army has been fighting all year round, and those distant princes and countries only pay a little tribute or even no tribute at all, and the cost is huge, causing the treasury to become increasingly empty, how can you still come up with such a large amount of money at this time?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers also have different opinions. "It was Taibao Fu Xin who stood up and spoke. He wore a black six-pattern ornamented official uniform, wore a nine-fold crown, and his face was serious.

Fu Xinjing Xuan Wang, King You, King Ling, three dynasties, is the elder of the three dynasties, and was entrusted by the dying king of the previous dynasty to assist the king of Ling, ranked one of the three dukes, the status is impressive, speaking loudly, even the king of the spirit is afraid of three points, other ministers see him talking, they dare not say more.

"The king, aside from the emptiness of the treasury, go to Tongbai Kingdom, all the way south, you must pass through Yang, He, Jing, Feng, Ding, Ying, Xiang and other vassal countries, along the way mob flow, the princes are two-hearted, and they must be eyeing this money. Leaving Kyushu, you have to cross the Qingjiang River, sharks are infested, and blocking the river is really dangerous. Even after crossing the Qingjiang River, you still need to pass through a few small countries in Nanzhou, these local indigenous people are unintelligent, barbaric and rude, and will inevitably pose many dangers. To sum up, the minister thought that it was not safe to carry a lot of property on the road. ”

"Taibao, you are worrying about the sky. As for the mob, the princes have already sent troops to suppress it, and it is not a problem, Qingjiang is dangerous, please open the way to the national water division, there is no need to be afraid, Nanzhou is a small country, although the people are fierce, but when they hear the name of our Xuanyuan country, they will inevitably abandon their troops and flee. Chang Jin said.

"I'm worried? haha. Fu Xintian laughed, suddenly suppressed his laughter, stared at Shang Zhu, and then looked at Chang Jin, with an inviolable majesty on his body, "Don't think I don't know what you guys are up to." Hmph, isn't it just a clever name to collect the wealth of the people. ”

"Taibao, don't spew blood, we are dedicated to sharing worries for the saints and solving problems for the people, how can we covet the people's wealth, Taibao is really slandering his subordinates, please see the king. Chang Jin first defended himself, and then bowed to the Spirit King.

"If you don't take out such property, how can you show Your Majesty's authority to care for talents, and how can you show that my Xuanyuan Kingdom is the head of all nations?"

"Your Majesty, please think twice, now is not more than ever, there is an undercurrent between the vassal states, and war breaks out at any time. "The dissenting opinion is Shao Bao Fu Fang, who is Fu Xin's protégé and Fu Xin's nephew.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to understand the information left by the Lord of the Yiming Pavilion, and the rest of the things are not as important as this matter. Si Kou Qibo said, but unfortunately his voice was very small, and it was drowned out by the noise of different opinions, and it could not reach the ears of the Spirit King at all.

......

The ministers in the Tianqing Palace shouted one after another, and it was obvious that they were divided into two different lineups, one was the faction headed by Taibao and Taifu, who resolutely opposed carrying Jinbei south, and the other was Shang Zhu, Chang Jin and others who had diametrically opposite attitudes, striving for the emperor's consent, and a few courtiers were silent, hiding aside, or secretly observing or watching the excitement or indifferent.

The Spirit King watched the arguing in the hall, rubbed his temples, the pride and ambition of wanting to meet the King of Fu just now disappeared in an instant, he only felt exhausted, and he couldn't stop this situation.

Suddenly, Dazai Himemoto whispered.

Ji Yuan is the grandparents of King Ling, although he is from a side lineage, but his seniority is extremely high, his identity is extremely respectful, Taishi, Taifu are his students, and the other six Qing and Wuguan are his grandchildren, so his status in the court is high, no less than Fu Xin, and his fief is very powerful, faintly the strongest among the princes, after he spoke, the ministers were quiet, and no one dared to speak.

Ji Yuan is sixty-three years old this year, with an eagle hooked nose and a long chin, like two hooks stuck together, his eyes are shining, and he is full of anger when he speaks: "Taibaogong, you are too timid." I just happened to hold the opposite opinion, and this time I went south, I felt that it was more important to inform the princes, just like the king going south, to show the majesty of the Central Empire, and to make those vassal states submit to the Central Empire again. ”

"Your Majesty, don't ......"

"Taigong, this king thinks that what you said is reasonable, so he decided. The Spirit King didn't expect Ji Yuan to support him, so he was very excited, stood up, and raised his hands to the sky, "The widow decided to tour the south in person, and asked the descendants of Fuxi to go out of the mountain to assist the widow." ”

"Your Majesty, you..... You..... You ....." Fu Xin suspected that he had misheard the words, and in a fit of rage, he couldn't change it in one breath, and he died in anger.

The ministers around hurriedly surrounded him, calling the imperial doctor, calling Fu Xin's name, gossiping to give first aid advice, and some even learned the wizard's spiritualism, wanting to bring back the soul of Taibao's newly departed body.

The Tianqing Palace was suddenly in chaos, and the Spirit King knew that he had caused a big disaster, so he ordered a thick burial of the Taibao and hurriedly disbanded the early dynasty, and then hid back to the Ruoqi Palace.
