Chapter 51: The Three-Leaned Stand
At the same time as the voice appeared, a powerful aura suddenly appeared behind Wang Zheng. Although it is not as thick and long as the return or not, you can already feel a breath with water chestnuts rushing straight from behind.
Wang Zheng, who was horrified, couldn't care about Liu Xuan, the first emperor who was still trembling like a quail. He instantly turned around and saw a white-haired man standing at the door of the main hall, leaning against the door frame. It was the person who brought his son's head out of the barracks, and after seeing the enemy who killed his son, Wang Zheng was extremely red-eyed at the moment. At the moment, he didn't care about whether he would return or not, and he was bent on revenge for killing his son, so he waved the long sword in his hand at the white-haired man.
He was still more than ten zhang away from the white-haired man, and the moment the long sword swung past, a fire dragon suddenly burst out from the tip of the sword and pounced on the white-haired man. Almost at the moment when the fire dragon came out, the white-haired man waved his hand at Wang Zheng casually.
At the same time as the white-haired man waved his hand, the fire dragon with the thickness of the bowl mouth was cut off at the waist. Immediately after that, Wang Zheng's body involuntarily took a step backwards, and before he could stand firmly, a blood line had already appeared on his neck, and then blood came out of it like a spring. Wang Zheng's head tilted strangely, and then rolled off his neck. Then, the blood in the cavity spurted out, splashing the face of Liu Xuan, the first emperor behind him.
After Wang Zheng's head hit the ground, another white-haired man walked in outside the main hall. After looking at the blood stains all over the ground, he forcibly walked to Liu Xuan, who was already scared stupidly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty was frightened, just now Xiaochuan and I couldn't see the figure of this rebel in front of the army, and I counted it as the rebel turned the tiger away from the mountain, and it was not good for Your Majesty to come." I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to return before the army, so I invited Mr. Wu Mian to come to escort him. It was also His Majesty Zi Weixing who came down to earth with the blessing of God, so he escaped. If Mr. Wu Mian had come one step late, I really couldn't imagine it......"
After listening to Sun Xiaochuan's words, Liu Xuan, who was like a wood carving clay sculpture, eased up. pushed away the palace maids and chamberlains who wiped their blood stains again, stood up and said to Sun Xiaochuan: "Don't go, the great monk, stay in the palace and stay by my side." I have made the Great Monk king, as long as I can stay by my side......"
After listening to Liu Xuan's words, Sun Xiaochuan's brows immediately furrowed. Looking at the frightened Emperor Gengshi, he said, "How can such words come out of His Majesty's mouth? I am a cultivator, because Your Majesty is the true Son of Heaven, and my senior brother and I will go down to the mountains to assist the Son of Heaven. What is it to keep cultivators like us in the palace? In the future, because of today's events, there will be rumors of filthy villains about Xiaochuan and my palace. Doesn't it make the monks of the world laugh at it? ”
Liu Xuan finally stopped trembling, and he couldn't care about the emperor's posture at the moment, and continued to Sun Xiaochuan: "I am the emperor, whoever dares to spread any rumors, I will destroy his nine clans!" I begged the two great monks to stay in the palace, as long as I saw the two great monks, my heart could be settled.
Liu Xuan had been on the battlefield with him, but he was also watching the soldiers fight from a distance on the city tower. It was the first time that such a direct blood incident occurred, and I was also stupid at that time, saying that I would not let Sun Xiaochuan and Wu Mian go.
In the end, Sun Xiaochuan sighed in embarrassment, and then said: "Your Majesty, we are all cultivators, and we still have to refine our techniques, how can we stay by Your Majesty's side all the time?" Three days later, we will go to Kunlun Mountain to attend the puja of the Queen Mother of the West, how can we let Your Majesty see each other from time to time......"
Speaking of which, after seeing that Liu Xuan was about to cry, Sun Xiaochuan changed the conversation again and continued: "But didn't Your Majesty think about asking the gods of the world to come down to escort him? Even if a few of us don't stay by His Majesty's side, as long as the Tongxian Pagoda is completed. If there are any more traitors in the palace, the gods in the Tongxian Tower will naturally come out to solve the disaster for His Majesty. ”
At this time, when the Immortal Pagoda was mentioned, Liu Xuan no longer had any dissenting intentions. At that moment, he said to Sun Xiaochuan: "Yes, I will arrange the construction of the Tongxian Pagoda." I only hope that before the completion of the Tongxian Pagoda, a few great monks can stay in the palace, if I don't see a few great monks for a while, I have no intention of ruling the government. Several great monks have mercy, please stay in the palace and do not leave......"
Sun Xiaochuan was very embarrassed and thought for a long time, then he sighed heavily and said, "Alas...... It's time to do something for Your Majesty. The once-in-a-century Western Queen Mother Puja seems to have to go again next time. ”
It wasn't until they returned to Chang'an City that they had driven back the rebel army, Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Rensan, that they knew that Liu Xuan had issued an order to let them all move to the palace to live. Except for Wu Mian, the other great monks (including Bai Wuqiu) had to take turns to appear in front of the First Emperor. They don't have to do anything, as long as people appear Liu Xuan's heart can land.
Subsequently, Emperor Gengshi began to prepare for the construction of the Golden Tongxian Pagoda. However, when the person in charge of the project made the budget and sent it to Liu Xuan, Emperor Gengshi was taken aback. The gold needed to build a tower of Babel is not to mention that he is an unstable emperor, even when he was Emperor Wu in the heyday of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible to build such a golden tower with a pedestal of three feet and three feet and a height of thirty-three floors that can accommodate people to walk up and down.
In desperation, the first emperor brought back the returnee, Sun Xiaochuan and others. With a bitter face, he put the craftsman's budget in front of several great monks, and said, "A few great monks, I really don't hide it. Now the world is not under the control of me alone, even if all the gold in the land under my jurisdiction is used to build towers. At most, it is only enough for the base and the three-story tower body, and only ......"
Return, Liu Xi and Sun Xiaochuan all witnessed the transformation of the Han Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and now that the war is still unsettled, the first emperor really can't come up with such a large sum of gold. In the end, after Sun Xiaochuan and Gui Fu exchanged glances, Sun Xiaochuan said to Emperor Gengshi: "Since this is the case, then Your Majesty will gather the gold first, let's build the pedestal first, and wait until the world is decided, and then collect gold from all over the world to build Your Majesty's Tongxian Pagoda." After the completion of the Tower of Babel, it can ensure the eternal stability of the Han Dynasty for thousands of years. ”
Wang Zheng's assassination had already frightened Liu Xuan. Now what Sun Xiaochuan is saying is what, and now he aims to gather all the gold. The first emperor now collects gold in the palace, except for a few gold ornaments left by the queen mother and queen, all the gold ornaments of the concubines, princes and princesses in the palace must be handed over. In addition to gold, other jewels and jade treasures were also collected and used to decorate the body of the tower after it was built.
Poor Liu Xuan's concubines and princes, after the gold and jade things were handed over. You can only go out with a silver hairpin and copper hairpin on your head, and you can only pin a wooden stick to your head if you don't have time to buy silverware or bronze.
At the same time as collecting in the palace, Liu Xuan also returned the people to collect gold utensils in the places under his jurisdiction. After more than a month, the gold objects sent to the palace began to be melted and cast into gold ingots for the purpose of casting Tongxian Pagoda in the future.
Taking advantage of the nationwide collection of gold artifacts, the father and son surrendered all the remaining 36,000 people of Wang Mang's remaining army, which was the biggest heart problem of the first emperor. Subsequently, Emperor Gengshi brought all this force to the front line of the battle against the Red Eyebrow Army. Little by little, the battle situation favored the side of the First Emperor.
After the turn of the year, the battle between Emperor Gengshi and Red Eyebrows began to stalemate. Just when the two sides were fighting for a city and a pool, Liu Xiu in Hebei had slowly emerged. In just one year, Liu Xiu swept away all the forces in Hebei. It has become the third force in addition to the First Emperor and the Red Eyebrow Army, as long as Liu Xiu's force is biased towards that side, the entire situation can be reversed.
When there was a stalemate with the Red Eyebrow Army, Emperor Gengshi also proposed to let a few great monks go out and directly solve the bandit leader of the Red Eyebrow Army. The bandits collapsed without a head, and when the time came, the army of the First Emperor could sweep away the bandits in one fell swoop. Then draw a scoop according to the gourd, and do this to Liu Xiu again, and the world will be safe.
