Chapter 80: The world is unified, and the sun never sets on the empire
Three months later, Songshan Dao Palace, Zixiao Palace on the top of the mountain.
Mo Chen was dressed in a gorgeous purple robe, standing outside the gate of Zixiao Palace, his eyes looking at the nascent sun in the east with lost eyes.
Beside him, there was also a figure dressed in an ordinary Taoist robe. The figure's temples were slightly pale, and his face was not angry and arrogant, which looked like it was not easy to get along with.
"Zhijing, it's been a long time since we've seen each other." Mo Chen stood behind him with his hands behind him, staring at the scorching sun in the distance, and said in a flat voice.
Zhao Zhijing's face was full of respect, his hands were crossed in front of him, and he lowered his head and said, "Senior Brother Hui, it has been twenty years, one month and fifteen days. ”
Mo Chen took a deep breath, his eyes were a little more distracted, and he sighed: "Twenty years, it's really fast." Count it, you're already past the age of ear shun. ”
Zhao Zhijing's eyes flickered, revealing a bit of different color, and said respectfully: "How old is Senior Brother Zhijing, and this year is indeed two out of sixty." ”
Twenty years is not a long time for Zhao Zhijing. It's just that if he is given another chance to choose, he will still go to Beimeng without hesitation.
It's not for Daomen, it's not for Mo Chen's plan.
He simply wants to get out of the shadow of Mo Chen and achieve his own great cause. It's just that he finally realized that he was just a puppet manipulated by others after all, a puppet that was quite useful.
Mo Chen looked sideways at Zhao Zhijing, his face was a little more solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Lian Po is old, can you still eat!" ”
When Zhao Zhijing heard this, his body trembled suddenly, and his eyes looked at Mo Chen with a little excitement.
Senior brother, do you really want to reuse yourself?
Zhao Zhijing fought, knelt behind Mo Chen with a plop, trembled and took out the letter that Guo Jing had brought him from his arms, held it high above his head with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Although Lian Po is old, he can still eat rice and ten catties of meat!" ”
Mo Chen glanced at the opened letter in his hand, took it casually, and slowly opened it.
There are only four words written on it, can you still eat?
Mo Chen exhaled lightly, looked at the hazy mountains and rivers in the distance, and said softly: "You did a good job this time, if it weren't for your decisiveness, the more than one million Mongolian troops in the south would not have surrendered easily." I said before you left that as long as you do things for me, you will not be able to benefit you in the future. ”
Zhao Zhijing's eyes flashed violently, his calm face twitched slightly, and his heart was full of excitement.
Senior brother, you really haven't forgotten yourself!
He took a deep breath, forcibly endured the excitement in his heart, and kowtowed: "If it weren't for the cultivation of Senior Brother, where would there be today's Zhijing." Zhijing's loyalty to his senior brother can be seen from heaven and earth. ”
Mo Chen bowed slightly, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Regardless of whether Zhao Zhijing is sincere or false. With his statement, it is enough. As long as you are alive, the world will still move forward according to your own will.
Mo Chen bowed slightly, helped him up, and said softly: "Zhijing's loyalty, Senior Brother has never doubted it. It is precisely because Senior Brother understands your loyalty that he intends to make you the next head of the Dao Sect! ”
Daomen Master!?
Zhao Zhijing had just stood up from the ground, and before he could stand firmly, when he heard Mo Chen's words, his legs and feet were weak and he almost fell to the ground. He looked at Mo Chen in disbelief, his eyes full of incredulity.
Senior brother, do you want to make yourself the head of the Dao Sect?
This, how is this possible?
I.
Zhao Zhijing's face was full of confusion, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. His mind went blank, and he didn't even know what he was thinking.
Mo Chen distracted him, patted him on the shoulder, and chuckled: "Senior brother has been the supreme of the Dao Sect for twenty years, and he is also tired. This vast empire is about to usher in a new era. In this era of drastic change, it needs a strong leader, a supreme master who can hold high the butcher's knife and chant the Yellow Court. ”
When Mo Chen said this, his eyes stared at Zhao Zhijing tightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You, can you do it?" ”
Zhao Zhijing felt Mo Chen's gaze and finally recovered from the shock. He fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed to Mo Chen three times, and said in a trembling voice: "What kind of person does Senior Brother want Zhijing to be, what kind of person Zhijing is." ”
By now, Zhao Zhijing couldn't care about the puppet butcher or anything.
To be able to become the supreme of Taoism and the pioneer of the new era is destined to be the supreme of the world in the history books, let alone a puppet. Even if he was asked to kneel down immediately to recognize his godfather, Zhao Zhijing would not hesitate at all.
This is the true supreme of the world!
Mo Chen looked at Zhao Zhijing's face, which was flushed with excitement, and his eyes full of supreme fighting spirit, nodded with a gentle smile on his face, and never spoke again.
Although Zhao Zhijing is greedy for power, he is not a useful chess piece.
The Mongol Empire had come to an end, leaving a vast power vacuum in the vast Eurasian continent. This is the timing of the expansion of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the timing of the expansion of the Daomen.
Back then, if it wasn't for the Mongols to clear the obstacles for themselves and make it easier for the Great Song Dynasty to dominate the world, why did he keep them for 20 years and secretly help the Mongols develop. At present, the European Holy See is still alive, and many sects in the Western Regions are almost extinct.
Such a God-given opportunity, it is a good time for Daomen to conquer the world!
Mo Chen's eyes looked directly at the sun, and there was an unprecedented look in them.
Half a year later, the Great Song Dynasty recovered the vast territory north of the Yellow River to Lake Baikal. With the Mongol army of three million wiped out, the resistance encountered by the Song army along the way was unusually weak, and the casualties were almost negligible.
After a month-long rest, 200,000 Song troops and tens of thousands of Daomen missionaries embarked on the road to the Western Regions.
Three years later, all the rebel forces in the Western Regions were put down by the Great Song Dynasty, and this land full of exotic characteristics was completely incorporated into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. After initially leveling the remnants of the Mongols, Daomen established more than 300 Taoist temples in various parts of the Western Regions, and vigorously spread Taoist ideas.
It's just that the initial propagation was unusually difficult.
Faced with such a predicament, Yang Guo, as the pioneer of the Daomen of the Western Regions, had no choice but to restart the third-class policy of the Mongols. He also put forward the slogan that only by learning Chinese and knowing Chinese characters can one become a first-class person. After that, under this friendly and kind leadership atmosphere, the people of the Western Regions devoted themselves to the activities of learning Chinese characters with enthusiasm.
Six years later, Song Lizong abdicated, and with the support of Mo Chen, the princess of Ruiguo ascended the throne as emperor, and the era name was Kaiyuan.
For a time, this incident caused a monstrous wave in the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that what makes Mo Chen a little strange is that those so-called Confucians, except for complaining in the court, no one stood up to stop them.
Of course, what he didn't know was.
The reason why everyone didn't dare to stop Princess Ruiguo from ascending the throne was because she had stayed in Songshan for three years and stayed next to him for three years.
In the eyes of everyone, Princess Ruiguo is just a disguise, a puppet who has been pushed to the stage. As for the opposition, don't joke, and don't look at what happened to the millions of Mongol troops now, and don't look at the white bones on the road to the Western Regions of the Great Song Dynasty.
That's the road paved by corpses!
In the third year of Kaiyuan, the army of the Great Song Dynasty completely swept the entire Nanyang region and established huge overseas ports in India, Malacca and other places.
In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, the army of the Great Song Dynasty arrived in Western Europe.
In the tenth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there was no trace of the Holy See in Western Europe, and the power of Taoism spread all over the Eurasian continent.
At this point, the world was unified, and the territory of the Great Song Dynasty expanded to an unprecedented step, and it was called the empire on which the sun never sets. And the name of the unequaled female emperor Ruiguo has become one of the most famous symbols of this era.
Of course, in such a prosperous world, there is a person's name that cannot be avoided.
He is revered by the world as the Holy Emperor, the Holy Pope, and the Unparalleled Saint!
Of course, in the eyes of more people, he is no longer a man, but a god, from the divine residence of the heavens!
