537th Schler (iv)

In 334, the dragon qi of the state of Zhao was transferred from Shi Hong to Shi Hu.

For the first two years, Shi Hu obediently continued to be loyal to Shile, and the power structure of the Zhao State did not seem to have an effect.

It was not until 337 that the conflict between Shi Hu and Shi Le suddenly intensified.

One day, Shi Hu accidentally had a conflict with Cheng Yao. Shi Hu knew that Cheng Yao had suggested that Shi Le imprison him, and he had long been resentful and hated Cheng Yao. During the quarrel, Shi Hu suddenly drew his sword in a rage and almost killed Cheng Yao on the spot. Cheng Yao hurriedly asked Shi Le for help, and Shi Le coordinated the two with human common sense: first appease Cheng Yao and say that Shi Hu has such a temperament, so there is no need to make a big fuss; He also appeased Shi Hu and said that Cheng Yao was dedicated to the country, and his former advice was not selfish. Cheng Yao was familiar with Shi Le's character, and while pleading guilty to Shi Le, he deliberately slandered: "Even if Weichen deserves death, he should be condemned by the King of Heaven (Shi Le), how can the King of Zhongshan (Shi Hu) be allowed to trespass?" If it is done again and again, the world will only know the king of Zhongshan from now on. ”

Shi Le felt something in his heart and considered whether to take the opportunity to crush Shi Hu.

After all, Shi Hu still has twelve years of good luck, and if he continues to be arrogant, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not endanger Shi Le's authority.

Shi Hu was also familiar with Shi Le's character, and when he sensed Shi Le's suppressive thoughts, he roared angrily on the spot: "The old thief wants to imprison me, but he is also dedicated to the country?" ”

If Shi Le and Shi Hu were both non-immortals, the anger would definitely come and go quickly, after all, no matter how brave and good the non-immortals were, they would be able to defeat a hundred soldiers. Shi Le was the founder of the Zhao Kingdom of Qianhu, and whether it was Xiangguo or Yecheng, there were loyal Shile's generals everywhere. If Shi Hu was a non-immortal, no matter how angry he was with Shi Le's ruthlessness, he would not have the courage to ignore the sharp soldiers around him and confront Shi Le.

However, supernatural forces changed everything.

As the saying goes, with a sharp weapon in hand, the murderous intent arises. Since Shi Hu advanced to the rank 7 immortal, he has become more and more freewheeling, often taking matters into his own hands if he doesn't agree with him. Now that he has the protection of purple dragon qi, Shi Hu can borrow dragon qi to enjoy the full defense of a level 11 immortal. Whether it was the full-value attack of the level 8 immortal Shi Le, or the ordinary bow and crossbow firebolt, it was difficult to hurt Shi Hu at all. Now that safety is guaranteed, why should I, Shi Hu, be afraid of you Shi Le?

The more Shi Hu thought about it, the more he hated, and punched Shi Le: "The destiny of heaven is mine, I, Shi Hu, am the real dragon, why should I be your courtier!" ”

Although Shi Le was of high rank, his fists and feet were forced to be reduced to level 4 attacks by the Purple Dragon Fist, and they seemed to tickle Shi Hu's body. And although Shi Hu has a low level, every punch and kick is a pure level 7 attack, and Shi Le doesn't dare to take it hard at all. Shi Hu ignored Shi Le's attack, opened and closed and rampage, and actually beat Shi Le's nose and face to be swollen.

The Purple Dragon Fist is so domineering.

Shi Le and Shi Hu went head-to-head, and they were absolutely defeated and invincible.

But Shi Le still has a heart, and he is the recognized leader of the Zhao State after all. Shi Le gave an order, and all the non-immortal elites and immortal elites of the Tunjun Xiangguo flocked to the front, suppressing Shi Hu regardless of casualties. Shi Hu knew that Sima Shi besieged and killed Chen Min, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he resolutely fled in embarrassment.

But where can Shi Hu flee to?

There is only a faint connection between the dragon qi of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom and the dragon qi of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei can find Liu Yuan's location with it. Shi Le was the founder of the Karma Zhao Kingdom, so he had some dragon qi authority over the Karma Zhao Kingdom. Just by looking up at the purple dragon qi that soared into the sky, Shi Le could accurately track down Shi Hu's hiding place.

Shi Hu had no escape.

Sima Shi besieged Chen Min, and Liu Bei imprisoned Liu Bei, all of which have proved the powerlessness of the lonely family.

Even with the protection of the Purple Dragon Fist, Shi Hu could not resist the hunting of groups of immortals.

What to do?

When Shi Hu was anxious, an immortal who fled with him suddenly offered him a plan: "Please forgive your majesty for the crime of deception, the humble position is actually a spy placed by Emperor Zhangwu (Liu Bei) to Shi Le's side." Shi Le's crusade against Yongqin ruined a lot of effort for Emperor Zhangwu, and Emperor Zhangwu thought about how to defeat Shi Le all day long. If His Majesty is willing to leave Qinzhou and Liangzhou to Emperor Zhangwu, Emperor Zhangwu will definitely support His Majesty in overthrowing Shile. ”

The cronies around him turned out to be spies planted by Liu Bei, and Shi Hu couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

But in the face of life and death, Shi Hu had to tightly hold on to Liu Bei's life-saving straw: "Liu Bei himself is still shrinking in Qinzhou, what ability does he have to help me?" ”

The spy laughed, "The Gate of the Absolute Holy often says that a fortress always crumbles from within. Emperor Zhangwu couldn't help Shi Le, because the dragon qi of Zhao Guo protected the descendants of the Shi family, and outsiders couldn't do anything! And His Majesty is the true dragon of the Mandate of Heaven favored by Zhao Guolong, how can he disobey the mighty Mandate of Heaven. ”

Shi Hu was full of hope and humbly asked for details.

However, during Liu Bei's puppet Xiongnu Han Kingdom, he conducted in-depth research on the phenomenon of dragon qi transfer and gradually mastered some laws. Then, Liu Bei first shared the research results with the Absolute Holy Gate, in exchange for the relevant research of the Absolute Holy Gate puppet country and the Duchy of Liaoxi, and further improved the theoretical conjecture; Then he stole Qiu Chi's national fortune, and once again verified the law of dragon qi transfer.

The key to Shi Hu's ability to turn defeat into victory is the privilege of the Heavenly Mandate True Dragon's "holding the prince in his hand and holding the heavenly constitution in his mouth".

The Mandate of Heaven is majestic, and he only recognizes the dragon spirit of the sky, ignoring the power of the world. In the case of the state of Qihu Zhao, Shi Le is indeed the undoubted leader, but the dragon qi only recognizes Shi Hu who it now favors. Shi Hu is qualified to manipulate the dragon qi of the Zhao Kingdom. Sima Jin Guo is actually the same, even if Sima Yi is a recognized leader, only the current Jin Emperor Sima Yan is qualified to invoke the Jin family's dragon qi.

Holding the meaning of the king, you must first get the favor of the dragon qi before you can become the true ninety-five lord of the Zhao Kingdom or the Sima Jin Kingdom.

With the meaning of Tianxian in his mouth, only those who are favored by the dragon qi can truly grasp the authority of the national fortune and decide whether the subordinates are eligible to enjoy the national fortune bonus.

Because of rules such as "holding the prince in his hand and holding the heavenly constitution in his mouth", whether Liu Bei imprisoned Liu Yuan, or the puppet state of the Absolute Holy Gate and the principality of Liaoxi, they could not simply be detained in prison. or coercion, or inducement, or corporal punishment, first force the parties to agree to the puppet identity, and the conspirators can really steal the national fortune.

Back to the dispute between Shihu and Shile.

The spy explained, "Holding the prince in your hand and holding the heavenly constitution in your mouth is a privilege that only a true dragon has. As long as His Majesty declares Shi Le and his cronies a rebel and deprives them of their luck, even if Shi Le is the founder of the Zhao State, what is there to fear? ”

The favor of the dragon qi is the real emperor.

Whoever can get the favor of the dragon qi can sit firmly on the throne of the emperor.

Shi Hu's eyes flashed.

Shi Hu understood what the spy was up to.

The spy may really be sent by Liu Bei, or it may be sent by Sima Yi or Wei Dongsheng. But no matter who is behind it, their purpose is to exacerbate the contradictions between Shihu and Shile. Even, the reason why Shi Hu and Shi Le met today was because these spies were hiding behind the scenes, and they continued to sow discord like a pawn. There are still 14 years left in the national fortune of the state of Hu and Zhao, if the tragic infighting between Shi Hu and Shi Le wastes this precious time, no matter who wins or loses, don't want to take advantage of the national fortune of the state of Zhao to crush Liu Bei and Sima Yi in the future.

But what does it matter?

If the country of Qihu and Zhao is not my country, no matter how brilliant it is, what does it have to do with me?

Shi Hu quickly made up his mind: "It's done." ”

Under the guidance of the spy, Shi Hu simply set up an altar and announced in the name of the Great Zhao Heavenly King that he would deprive Shi Le's henchmen of their luck. With Tianxian in his mouth and his words in his mouth, Shi Le and his cronies, who were tracking and capturing, suddenly felt a trace of malice between heaven and earth, and then found themselves beginning to be disgusted by the national fortunes of the Zhao Kingdom. Shi Le was particularly sensitive to this, and his internal organs suddenly became funnels, and the dots of aura escaped outward. If this phenomenon continues, there is a high probability that Shiler will be downgraded to level 7 or even lower to level 6.

The dragon qi that is gained, and the dragon qi that is lost.

Shi Le is the Emperor Gaozu Ming of the Zhao Kingdom, and naturally enjoys the privilege of excess dragon qi, so he can quickly advance to level 8. When Shi Hu deprived Shi Le of his luck, the national fortune of the state of Zhao not only closed the privileged channel to Shi Le, but also reversed Shi Le's dragon qi and left grace.

Fortunately, the reverse extraction speed is very slow, and after ten years of escaping at such a speed, Shile will retreat back to level 7.

Shi Le didn't understand the laws of Heavenly Constitution, but he understood where something was wrong, and it was very likely that it was from Shi Hu's counterattack. Shi Le secretly said that it was not good, and he was anxious to gather more immortals to round up Shi Hu. However, weakening Shile was the consensus of Liu Bei and Sima Yi. Hearing the news that Shi Hu and Shi Le turned their faces, Liu Bei and Sima Yi quickly rushed to Shi Hu's aid to resist Shi Le's round-up.

Repelling the first wave of round-up by Shi Le, Shi Hu struggled to save his life.

After a little time, Shi Le's henchmen were horrified to find that they could no longer enjoy the protection of the national fortune of the state of Qihu and Zhao. The difference between the old leader and the new dragon of the Mandate of Heaven quickly spread among the group of immortals: the inheritor of dragon energy, who seemed to be a puppet, also had the ability to fight back against the founding fathers.

Most of the immortals in the Jin Dynasty did not think so, because Confucian culture emphasizes filial piety, how can future generations draw swords to their ancestors? Besides, the initiator, what does it do? Today you dare to deprive your ancestors of their luck, and tomorrow your children will dare to deprive you of your luck. These simple moral concepts brought heavy ideological pressure to the Jin Emperor, so that they did not have the courage to challenge Sima Yi's majesty. The subordinates of the immortals who were loyal to Emperor Jin could hardly agree with Emperor Jin's brainless counterattack.

However, the state of Zhao is different.

After the founding of the country, Shile admired the custom of the strong man of the steppe derived from Mao Dun Shan Yu, and the civil and military ministers were inclined to offer loyalty to whoever was strong. Sensing that Shi Hu might win, some people gradually began to side with Shi Hu, which directly led to the rapid division of the Zhao Kingdom into two major political plates.

After the state of Qihu and Zhao fell into infighting, not only the pressure on Sima Yi and Liu Bei was instantly relieved, but the people of Youping and Youping were also smiling. However, the more intense the infighting between Shi Le and Shi Hu, the more Zhao Guo had no intention of expanding outward.

The perspective shifts to the Holy Gate.

By 337 years, the total number of immortal seeds had grown rapidly to 2,610, and almost every county in the Central Plains had immortal people. If this exponential growth continues, the total number of immortals will double every twenty years, and both human and non-human immortals will increase rapidly in the coming decades, becoming a social problem that cannot be ignored.
