Chapter 205: Immortal Stone
The wind is beautiful and the sun is shining. Under the illumination of the sun, in the majestic palace of the Jade Capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, the roof of countless halls paved with golden glazed tiles shone brightly, emitting colorful light.
However, at this moment, in the heart of Xia Qingtian, the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, no matter what kind of dazzling light it was, it seemed that it was not as bright as the luster emitted by the nearly two-foot-long immortal stone in front of him.
This piece of the best fairy stone is placed in a wooden box, this wooden box is exquisitely made, the surface is carved with dragons and phoenixes, no matter what kind of pattern, it is carved lifelike. The wooden box is covered with a thick golden yellow silk cloth, and on the silk cloth, a crystal clear, the surface is like a high sky and clouds, and all kinds of luster are misty and ethereal, like a dream.
Xia Qingtian sat on the dragon chair behind the table, carefully looking at this rare treasure.
This is Xia Qingtian's imperial study, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, Xia Qingtian will review the chapters in this place. Today, however, the pieces on his desk were piled up, but he had no time to bother with reviewing them, and he was always carefully looking at the treasure in front of him. Now, Xia Qingtian's cultivation has reached the peak of the Spirit God Realm, but as the king of a country, his cultivation has stayed at this level for more than ten years, and he has never been able to break through and reach a higher realm. Now, the cultivation of the four major sects that supported the Great Xia Kingdom had all reached the peak of the Spirit God Realm, and he was completely comparable to him in terms of cultivation of the exercises. He even faintly heard that the sect masters of two sects were about to break through the Spirit God Realm and were about to enter the Void Realm. Once the other party enters the realm of nothingness, then even if he, the lord of a country, after meeting others, he has to bow respectfully and respectfully call him the national teacher.
In order to ensure the absolute authority of the imperial court and a strong ruling force, as the supreme ruler of the Great Xia Kingdom, its cultivation must be at the peak of the country, so that it can rely on advanced cultivation and the imperial power in its hands, firmly control the power and maintain the rule of the imperial court. Although the power of the four major sects was strong, none of them could compete with the imperial court. However, once this balance is broken, then the dominance of the Great Xia court will inevitably be weakened. Now, someone has brought back this rare treasure, a superb immortal stone, with the immortal qi contained in this superb immortal stone, if it is slowly refined, it should be helpful for Xia Qingtian's breakthrough in cultivation.
Looking at the satisfied smile on Xia Qingtian's face, Xia Zicheng, the king of the Great Xia Kingdom Cheng County, who was standing in front of the bookcase, was happy in his heart. He didn't expect that his gentleman son Xia Muyan, who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day, would bring back a rare treasure after returning from a business trip, which was really a long face for himself.
After Xia Qingtian looked at it for a while, he closed the lid of the brocade box, and then said: "This time, Xia Muyan did not fail in his mission, won glory for our Great Xia Kingdom, and brought back a treasure for me. I will reward you well, and I will make you the king of the county. ”
After listening to Xia Qingtian's words, Xia Zicheng turned to Xia Muyan who was standing behind him and said, "Silly boy, don't hurry up and thank you." ”
Xia Muyan took two steps forward, stood in front of his father, and then knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
At this time, Xia Ziran, who was also in this study, felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, which was extremely unpleasant. Xia Ziran is Xia Muyan's uncle and Xia Zicheng's half-brother. Xia Ziran was bent on overthrowing his brother and then he would take over the throne of the county king. Although Xia Ziran is not the eldest son, his mother has been corrected, so he is not willing to be a coverer all the time, and only after his brother Xia Zicheng is brought down, can he justifiably serve as the king of the county. Because the laws of the Great Xia Kingdom stipulate that no matter how many sons a prince has, when the prince is in power, only one of his sons can serve as the king of the county, and when the prince dies, the son who serves as the king of the county can succeed to the throne. After succeeding to the throne, the new prince could appoint his brother or his own children as princes. Generally speaking, after inheriting the throne of the prince, the prince will leave the throne of the prince to his son, so his brother will be permanently disqualified from inheriting the throne. Xia Ziran planned to overthrow his brother and let him take the throne of the county king. However, Xia Ziran did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would make his nephew Xia Muyan also the king of the county. In this way, after his eldest brother and son are all the kings of the county, then his dream of becoming the king of the county will be cold. For today's plan, Xia Ziran tried his best to prevent Xia Muyan from serving as the king of the county. However, on the surface, Xia Ziran is still Xia Muyan's uncle. If Xia Ziran clearly opposed Xia Muyan as the king of the county, it would be unjustifiable in any respect, and it would easily arouse the prejudice of His Majesty Xia Qingtian, the supreme ruler of the Great Xia Kingdom. So after hearing the news, Xia Ziran still showed a look of joy on the surface. He quietly glanced at Xie Hang, the minister of the upper study who was standing opposite him. After Xie Hang comprehended, he bowed down and said to Xia Qingtian: "Your Majesty, although Xia Muyan has made great contributions this time, he is too young after all, if he is named the king of the county now, it will inevitably cause complaints from many royal children in Yujing City." Because among these royal children, there are many people who have been fighting abroad all the year round, performing military exploits, and they have not been named the king of the county, if they are named the king of the county because of the dedication of treasures, then many royal children will send troops to resist foreign enemies again, and they will change their minds from killing the enemy in blood to establishing military merits to exploring treasures and pleasing the dragon's face. Therefore, the matter of making Xia Muyan the king of the county is in a hurry, you can take it slowly, it is better to make him a marquis first, and then promote slowly, so that no one can give any opinions. ”
Xie Hang is worthy of being an old fritter in officialdom, hiding needles in the cotton, on the surface, he does not object to Jin Feng Xia Muyan as the king of the county, but just reminded the emperor not to seal it immediately. Xie Hang used this method of playing Tai Chi to push the grinder, and he slowly pushed Xia Muyan off the position of county king.
At this time, whether it was Xia Muyan or his father Xia Zicheng, they were all so angry that their teeth were itching, thinking: Good for you, thank you, make a stumbling block at a critical moment, and ruin our good deeds.
