The capital, the palace of Annam.

Next to the vermilion lacquer gate, there are two stone lions, there are nine rows and seven rows of door nails on the door, the top of the house is covered with green glazed tiles, and the roof ridge is carved with a kissing beast, which is the highest specification of a mansion outside the palace.

In order to show his favor to Zhou Xingzu, the "king with a different surname", the specifications also occupied an area of ordinary vassal kings, which was particularly majestic.

"Originally, this mansion was the old residence of Emperor Zhengde in the capital before he was established as the crown prince."

"Zhu Chenhao gave me this mansion after renovation, is he pulling hatred for me?"

Zhou Xingzu took a group of subordinates, as well as a group of subordinates, and moved into this Annan palace a week ago.

Tang's mother, as well as Qiu Xiang's nine ladies, also came by boat from Jiangnan and lived in the palace together.

Walking between the pavilions and water pavilions, Zhou Xingzu gently shook the folding fan and looked at the dragonflies in the pool, looking quite handsome and chic. A group of royal warriors stood in the corner of the garden with halberds.

Looking at his appearance as a young man, it is very in line with the identity of the four great talents in Jiangnan, but he can't imagine that he is the first "king with a different surname" since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

More than three months have passed since the self-proclaimed king ceremony.

But the matter of Tang Bohu being crowned king is still the most talked about topic among the people of the world after dinner.

For example, if there were newspapers in the Tang Dynasty, Zhou Xingzu alone would have dominated the headlines for several months, which shows the power of his influence.

On the day of the palace of the king, the entire capital can be described as an empty alley, from hundreds of officials to the common people, all of whom went to the Temple of Heaven to witness Zhou Xingzu's gift of sealing the king.

He was given the royal seal, the python robe, the crown, and this palace of Annam......

If someone else is replaced, the people of the world will think that someone is trying to usurp the throne.

But Zhou Xingzu's real exploits have convinced the world.

"Out of the customs and sealing the king" has become the dream of every young man in Daming.

Of course, although Zhou Xingzu was crowned king and given a fief, he was a distant fief and did not go to the domain. It's just that in the fiefdom of Quanzhou Mansion, the annual field tax will be converted into gold and silver and sent to the palace.

"Although Zhu Chenhao has crowned me king, he has not mentioned the matter of the domain, not only arranging my fief in the distant Fujian, but also covering the palace of Annan directly in the capital."

"This is clearly trying to empty me."

"I obviously went out of the north to fight at Shanhaiguan, but I was named the king of Annan, does it mean to retire with peace of mind?"

Zhou Xingzu smiled, knowing Zhu Chenhao's actions.

also understands what Zhu Chenhao is afraid of.

In fact, he was not wrong, although Zhou Xingzu had no intention of rebelling again. But if he is really allowed to go to Quanzhou Prefecture to become a vassal, he will definitely open up shipping and vigorously develop the economy with the help of Quanzhou's port advantages. When the time comes, there will be more money and more food, and it will not be difficult to pull up a group of people to rebel.

Of course, Zhu Chenhao's methods are far more than these.

After sealing the king's hall, the mighty emperor issued a holy decree and withdrew his position as the commander of the military machine pavilion. Now Zhou Xingzu really has an empty title, without the slightest real power.

The new commander of the Military Aircraft Pavilion is a Grandmaster of Transformation called "Qian Ning".

I have to say that although there are very few Huajin grandmasters on the rivers and lakes, Zhu Chenhao, as the Supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, is willing to use high-ranking officials and Houlu, and it is really not difficult to invite a Huajin grandmaster.

Even the armor soldier standing in the palace was also a henchman sent by Zhu Chenhao, and his intention was nothing more than to monitor Zhou Xingzu's movements.

"Count the days, it's almost the day of the new issue, the announcement of the three books of Jianghu."

Zhou Xingzu teased the yellow oriole on the tree, put away the folding fan, and returned to the study.

Pushing open the door of the study, I saw several picture scrolls hanging in the study, with green mountains and green waters, but more of them were Iron Horse Jingo.

During this time, he was idle, and he really began to study and paint.

With the ability to "learn quickly", coupled with the authentic works left by Tang Bohu before, Zhou Xingzu started from copying, and mastered good calligraphy and painting skills step by step, and the works he painted were also a little smart.

"When martial arts reach a level, simple practice is no longer of much help."

"Self-cultivation and self-cultivation are the way to break through the immortals."

With hard work and talent alone, at most, he can only become a Grandmaster.

And when it comes to the realm of the Sect Master, martial arts have become an instinct engraved in the bones. Even if you don't do it with people for decades, you still won't have the slightest rustiness.

On top of the strength, it is the "human immortal".

If you want to break through to a human immortal from a Grandmaster, it is impossible to practice hard, and you must rely on the word "enlightenment".

Enlightenment and enlightenment, only when you are enlightened can you embark on the path of cultivation.

This is also the reason why many Transforming Strength Masters on the rivers and lakes will begin to withdraw from the rivers and lakes and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests after reaching a certain realm. Because they are all looking for an opportunity to become enlightened.

Now the most iconic character is the ancestor on Wudang Mountain.

It is estimated that when the ancestor comes out, it will be the time to become an immortal.

Zhou Xingzu also realized this truth after fighting Li Xunhuan in the last knife.

Therefore, during this time, he rarely practiced, and immersed his mind in the way of calligraphy and painting.

"Whew, this picture of Dapeng spreading its wings and swallowing the world is finally done."

"This is Tang Bohu's real handiwork."

Zhou Xingzu looked at the picture scroll that was deep in the essence of the gods, and couldn't help laughing.

If he had the ability to be a "deranged psychic", he would like to see what kind of eagle he could summon in this picture.

He reassured the paintbrush and beckoned, and a figure appeared in the corner of the study.

"Your Majesty, Captain Shen has returned to his life, and he has already arranged things properly."

Zhou Xingzu nodded, and that figure was a lieutenant in the Taonunnery.

Although he has now been removed from his official position as the commander of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, Peach Blossom Temple is a force he has created.

Even if he doesn't have an official position, he still only obeys him.

In a short period of time, Qian Ning did not have the ability to subdue the hearts of the people of the Military Aircraft Pavilion.

A dignified Spiritual Transformation Grandmaster has become the one who has been set aside. Even the lieutenants in the Military Aircraft Pavilion may not necessarily bird him, but the mix is really miserable.

"Now wait for the release of the three books of Jianghu."

Zhou Xingzu sighed, the second ring of the plot task he triggered was [Three Books First].

Only by obtaining the first ranking of the three books of rivers and lakes can you complete this task.

With the previous foreshadowing, it is not difficult to complete this task.

The difficulty is, how to find out where "Bai Xiaosheng" is......

During this time, Zhou Xingzu used all the power of Peach Blossom Nunnery, but he did not find out the true location of Bai Xiaosheng. can only judge through the clues gathered together that "Bai Xiaosheng" should be hidden in the mountains of southern Xinjiang.
