Chapter 442: Succeeding to the City Lord
Jingzhou after the war, full of holes, Xia Meng asked for orders to clean up the mess in Jingzhou, because he did not find a suitable person to be the lord of Jingzhou for a while, so the current Jingzhou was temporarily replaced by Xia Meng, and after the Holy Lord selected the right person, he would replace Xia Meng to manage Jingzhou.
Feng Ziyang fought the four sword gods by himself before, was seriously injured, and had returned to the Feng family in Yangzhou to heal his injuries, and Feng Yuerong and Chu Feng also accompanied him back to the Feng family and took care of them intimately.
Xia Hang was also injured because he was injured, so he also returned to the imperial city and recuperated in the palace. The entire Jingzhou is now all in the hands of Xia Meng.
After the affairs of Jingzhou were almost settled, Xia Meng also returned to the imperial city to meet his imperial uncle.
After experiencing the Jingzhou incident, the officials in the DPRK and China are also talking about it, in this suppression of the Shang Zhenglan rebellion, the greatest credit is Feng Ziyang, but Feng Ziyang is not interested in rewards, and this time he is seriously injured, so the saint can only ask someone to condole on his behalf.
And the second place in credit fell on Chamon. Most of the officials in the DPRK and China believed that in the process of suppressing the rebellion, it was all up to Xia Meng's strategy to wipe out Shang Zhenglan and others, and many people even went directly to the game, making Xia Meng the new lord of Jingzhou.
However, Xia Meng's strength has not reached the realm of the Sword God, so now he can only take care of Jingzhou on his behalf, and the city lord of Yuzhou, Xia Meng is indeed determined to win.
The imperial city is located in the territory of Yuzhou, so the safety of Yuzhou is directly related to the safety of the entire imperial city, since ancient times, the city lord of Yuzhou has been served by the royal people, but in recent years, the royal appearance of the sword god realm of the monks is getting fewer and fewer, even if some royal people have reached the realm of the sword god, but do not want to be the city lord of Yuzhou, so for so many years, it has been served by Xia Hang.
Xia Hang has been serving as the city lord of Yuzhou for almost fifty years, and now he is getting older, and he has more than enough strength to choose a suitable person from among the royal descendants to serve as the city lord of Yuzhou, but he has not been selected, and most of them are because the cultivation realm is not enough.
The royal people manage the affairs of the world, so many people start from a young age and learn the art of governing the country, the art of governing the country is not so easy, and there are too many aspects that need to be scrupulous, so many people can only give up cultivation in order to learn the national art well, which leads to the fact that the cultivation realm of most people in the royal family is not very high.
The most typical of these is the Holy One today. Today's saint Xia Yan is eloquent and intelligent, and he began to learn the art of governing the country since he was a child, so he succeeded to the throne at a young age, and during his tenure, he also governed the Xia country very well. For so many years, Xia Yan has basically had to work hard for state affairs every day, and it is said that he is cultivating, but he has no rest time at usual, since he succeeded to the throne, Xia Yan has not had a day off, and he has to be busy until late every day, and Xia Yan has only studied Taoism for a period of time when he was young, and his current cultivation is only in the realm of sword masters.
This time Xia Hang came back from Jingzhou, he has been recuperating at home, even the affairs of Yuzhou, there is no energy to deal with it, now the affairs of Yuzhou are becoming more and more complicated, the backlog is a mountain, if you don't deal with it, there will be more contradictions, in this case, Xia Meng took the initiative to ask for life, to take over Xia Hang in charge of Yuzhou.
The city lord of Yuzhou can only be a royal person to serve, but now he can't find a suitable person, he can choose to choose, and only Xia Meng is the most suitable, although Xia Meng's strength has not reached the realm of the sword god, but except for the city lord of Yuzhou, as long as he can reach the realm of the sword immortal, and Xia Meng's cultivation is in the realm of the early stage of the swordsman.
In fact, it has been several years since Xia Meng reached the realm of Sword Immortals, and during this time, Xia Meng's cultivation has not been enhanced at all, and he has basically stabilized in the early stage of Sword Immortal realm in the future.
Of course, this is directly related to Xia Meng's previous cultivation, when he was a child
, what Xia Meng cultivated, is the method of rushing to achieve, and later studied Buddhism in Luo Country for several years, and the progress of cultivation is very fast, not only that, but Xia Meng also takes pills that can improve cultivation every day.
Under this kind of cultivation, although he will cultivate very quickly, but there is a fatal drawback, that is, when he cultivates to a certain realm, he will stop there forever, and no matter how he cultivates in the future, there will be no breakthroughs.
With Xia Meng's current strength, he can only be regarded as having just reached the realm of sword immortals, but compared to the vast majority of monks, this is already very powerful, you must know that entering the realm of sword immortals is equivalent to having immortal roots, and there is a huge gap between the monks under the immortal sword.
The reason why Xia Meng wants to cultivate like this is so that he can become the city lord of Yuzhou in the future, and now, this opportunity has finally arrived.
In order to be the lord of Yuzhou, Xia Meng privately met with most of the officials in the court and many people from the royal family, and with the support and recommendation of everyone, the saint had no choice but to appoint Xia Meng as the new city lord of Yuzhou in accordance with the royal rules.
The reason why Xia Meng worked hard to become the city lord of Yuzhou was not only because Yuzhou was under the control of the royal family and was the center of Kyushu, but more importantly, it was the divine sword that guarded Yuzhou, the Xuanyuan Sword ranked first among the top ten nerves in ancient times.
Xuanyuan Sword, also known as Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, it is a divine sword cast by the gods in ancient times for the Yellow Emperor. The sword body is engraved with the sun, moon and stars on one side, and the mountains, rivers and plants on the other, and the hilt of the sword is written on the art of farming and animal husbandry, and on the other side is the policy of unifying the four seas. It is a sword of the Holy Dao, and it is also the head of the sword of the gods, with the Xuanyuan sword in hand, it is equivalent to mastering the lifeblood of Kyushu, and it is easier to get other divine swords.
On the day when Xia Meng succeeded as the lord of Yuzhou, the whole city cheered for Xia Meng. The saint also ordered someone to take the Xuanyuan sword from Xia Hang, and on the succession ceremony, he personally handed over the Xuanyuan sword, which symbolizes the holy way, to Xia Meng's hand.
Xia Meng took the Xuanyuan Sword with both hands, and could not hide the excitement in his heart, the first divine sword that he had dreamed of for many years, and today he finally held it in his hand.
Xia Meng was excited, holding the Xuanyuan Sword in his right hand, pointing directly at the blue sky, and suddenly, in the sky, a large number of colorful auspicious clouds appeared, a group of fairy birds circled and chirped in the air, and the colorful glow directly shone on the Xuanyuan Sword, and Xia Meng's whole person seemed to be dressed in a colorful Xia robe, and his divine power was extraordinary.
Everyone was clapping and congratulating Xia Meng, but Xia Yan didn't say a word, not knowing who was wrong or wrong in this decision.
Xia Yuhan said very reluctantly: "Brother Huang, now that Uncle Huang has obtained the Xuanyuan Sword and has become the new city lord of Yuzhou, in the future, our situation will be even more difficult." ”
The muscles on Xia Yan's face trembled slightly, and then said: "This is the result of the discussion between the ministers and the imperial family, we have no choice but to let the imperial uncle become the new city lord of Yuzhou, maybe it is already destined in the dark, there are too many implications between us and the imperial uncle." ”
Xia Yan said a little helplessly, as the king of a country, he seemed very helpless at the moment, knowing that this was not a good thing for himself, but he still had to give the sword to his opponent with a smile, the will of heaven made people, fate mocked, Xia Yan felt that he was a saint, he was too sloppy, and he wanted to lead Xia Guo to a new glory, but it seemed that everything was against him, before he succeeded to the throne, Xia Guo was already in turmoil, and he tried his best to save, but it ushered in a greater storm.
After Xia Meng's succession ceremony ended, Xia Yan walked back silently alone, Xia Yuhan saw the imperial brother leaving, and hurriedly followed, now at this time, it should be the most uncomfortable and helpless time for the imperial brother.
Xia Yan didn't take the dragon chariot, walked back, only Xia Yuhan and a few guards were around, and a warm wind was blowing in the air, but Xia Yan felt a little cold, and the warm sunlight looked a little dazzling now.
Along the way, Xia Yan didn't say a word, and the people around him were silently accompanied, and no one dared to speak.
After walking to the gate of the palace, there were two people standing at the door, one was the current queen mother, and the other was the queen with a baby in her arms.
Seeing Xia Yan walking back, the Queen Mother and the Queen also hurriedly greeted her.
"Yan'er, why did you come back?"
Looking at the haggard beloved son, the Queen Mother asked distressedly.
Xia Yan smiled slightly, and said weakly: "I want to walk alone, it's okay." ”
"Wow...... Wow......"
The baby in the queen's arms suddenly cried, and the queen hurriedly coaxed, but the baby in her arms kept crying.
Xia Yan walked to the child and looked at the infant child, at this moment, Xia Yan suddenly found that between himself and his child, it was so strange, since the child was born, he had seen it no more than three times, and he had only hugged it once, that was when the child was just born.
"Let me hold it for a while. Xia Yan suddenly spoke.
The queen thought for a moment, and then handed over the child in her arms to her husband.
When the child was held in Xia Yan's arms, he suddenly stopped crying, and looked at Xia Yan with a pair of extremely clear small eyes.
Looking at his child, Xia Yan suddenly smiled, this is a smile from the heart, and it is also a father's warmest smile for his child.
"Brother Huang, the child really doesn't cry anymore, it seems that the child misses the royal brother too much. ”
Xia Yuhan looked at his little nephew, and he was also full of infinite love.
The Queen Mother said: "Yan'er, you have been really tired for this period of time, these days, just take a good rest." ”
Xia Yan nodded silently, and at this moment, Xia Yan really realized that he was still a son, a big brother, a husband, and a father.
The previous self was like a puppet on the holy throne, facing the ministers of the court and the people of the world, everything he said and everything he did had to be carefully considered, everything had to be from the perspective of the country and the people, and most of the time, he had to face the people who were against him in the dark, and he had to be careful all the time, feeling that his head was like a sharp sword hanging from him, forcing himself not to have any slack.
How many times I can't sleep at night, how many times I am lonely and helpless, this feeling can only be best experienced by myself, as the king of a country, I am destined to be like ordinary people, I can eat with my family every day, I can accompany my wife and children to play in the mountains and rivers, I can let go of all things, and I can embrace this world to my heart's content.
Today, his imperial uncle has become the new city lord of Yuzhou, but his heart is a little relaxed, maybe he is disappointed in himself, or maybe he knows that the facts are difficult to change, it is better to start again from now on, and be the most true self.
After going through so many things, Xia Yan has also seen the current situation clearly, maybe the big star official is right, as early as many years ago, his fate has been stereotyped, and he can just follow his own destiny trajectory, when the most unwanted thing has happened, and he has no ability to change, then the best way is to accept him.
Xia Yan hugged his child and walked into the palace with his family, and many people also smiled when they saw today's saint for the first time today, it was a very relaxed smile, like a colorful cloud in the sky, so that the people who saw it also relaxed in their hearts.
