Arossa, the capital of the Western Oga Empire, was filled with a cheerful and enthusiastic rhythm.

Today is the day when the new pope officially ascends the throne, and the pope will ascend the throne, which is naturally indispensable for the welfare of the people.

All the nobles who come to the Cathedral of the Holy Grace to watch the Pope's enthronement will be blessed by God.

And civilians also have benefits, and for civilians, the most tangible benefit is to send money!

After the currency crisis a few days ago, many civilians are now empty in their pockets, and they are very excited when they hear that the new pope has ascended the throne and distributed money!

"May God bless you, my children. ”

Several old priests took vouchers and distributed them to the commoners, and the vouchers of the church were equivalent to the purchasing power of gold coins!

A voucher is equivalent to a gold coin!

A family, according to the head, one head, one gold coin.

The population of the city of Arosa was more than 300,000, which was directly scattered with 300,000 gold coins.

That's a lot of money! But it's nothing to the church today.

Several nobles who were willing to dedicate all their family money to the teachings in pursuit of a higher faith relieved Evan of his urgent need.

By the way, the ruling priest was dispatched to get a few loan sharks from Maro, and the money was returned.

The Maro people are the moths of the city! These guys specialize in loan sharks in front of the casinos, and they make real money!

Faced with a debt crisis, Evan directly destroyed three casinos in the name of God, captured dozens of Maro people with mortgages, and took their property directly back to the church.

Coupled with the conversion of several nobles, all of a sudden, the situation in the Oga Empire was very good!

Several other countries did the same, and in this way, all of a sudden, the deficit crisis in the western continent was directly lifted!

Not only did he not let other countries take advantage, but he also suppressed a wave of aristocratic forces, and all the nobles he didn't like were bankrupt.

A good move!

"I have to say that sometimes, doing what Satan should do in the name of God is indeed a pleasing thing to the eye!"

Evan is preparing for the enthronement ceremony, and the enthronement of the church is not such a simple matter.

You need to be prepared and everything needs to be organized.

Subsequently, after asking God to bless him according to the ancient and sacred rites, he can be called pope as a matter of course.

For Ivan, this is not a big deal.

But it's a very important thing for the church!

At stake is the prestige of their church in the West, especially for the old-fashioned patriarchs.

The reason why Evan was able to be called the pope so smoothly this time was due to the contributions of these patriarchs.

Because Evan handled the incident very decisively and effectively, he had the full support of most of the clan elders.

Those old immortal guys, one by one, have already been half cut into the ground, and they still have very strong energy.

The wealth they have, the strength they have, and the connections they have are enough to subvert the pattern of the entire Western continent.

Therefore, Evan likes and dislikes them.

If they're on their side, then Evan is happy.

If they stand opposite him, then, Evan will curse them!

"Dear Pope, you are getting more and more glamorous. ”

Satan's followers said very respectfully, every time he came here, he would bring good news to Evan .

"My Angelo, what good news has you brought me back this time?"

Evan asked, and the believers of Satan handed a letter to Evan and said:

"If our information is correct, this is the information of the family members of the clan elders who oppose you. ”

"If you don't like them, Satan will make them disappear. ”

"Oh, no, my dear friend, that's not right!"

Ivan said, covering his forehead.

"Orientals often say, 'Woe to your family'. ”

"If I do this, I will be spurned!"

Evan said in a very tangled manner, but the believer said in a very fanatical tone:

"It's okay, dear pope, how about this matter on the head of the great Satan?"

Glancing at the believer, Evan shook his head.

I wish they would be more religious when they see God. ”

"Please, too, do a little bit neatly. ”

"Respect your will, dear Pope!"

The believer's form suddenly became blurred, and he left the room.

"It's boring, it's boring, it's ......"

Ivan didn't know what to say for a moment, he walked to the front of his desk and stroked the beautiful laurel of glory.

"It's beautiful! and, brilliantly!"

He grinned happily, and for a while, he couldn't tell whether he was the Son of God or the devil.

......

The new pope in the West ascended the throne, and a couple of newlyweds in the East got married, and the newlyweds were not ordinary newlyweds.

One is a newly promoted brigadier general with great military achievements, a direct descendant of the hidden Tang family, Tang Xin.

The other is the only female champion of the Cloud Empire, the granddaughter of Lin Taishi, Lin Ruo.

The combination of these two people is definitely the most savorable thing in the Cloud Empire this year, which not only represents the combination of the hidden Tang Sect and the Lin family, but also represents the change of the new direction of the imperial court.

The combination of these two families is destined to make a huge change in the direction of the wind above the court!

At this time, the Chen family and the Xiao family were already tightly attached to Taishi Lin's surroundings, Chen Haoshang had just taken office, and his foundation was unstable, so he naturally needed someone to mention it.

Therefore, he, Liu Wenye, Fang Zhen and Li Han, the newly promoted foursome directly worshiped under the Taishi.

Xiao Borui of the Xiao family, Xiao Baishan is naturally already a person under the Taishi, due to the death of Xiao Ding's ancestor, the Xiao family hurriedly needs to find a backer.

Now in Yunjing, the most stable backer is Taishi Lin!

Although the current castle tower is still firmly in the position of the double heaven, in the past few years, the castle tower has gone through too much chaos.

Qi Heng died, Luo Buyu died, Elder Liu Ye defected, and Elder Guo Yunfeng was seriously injured.

In this case, the castle tower seems to have become a little unreliable.

Therefore, these families could only defect to the command of the Taishi and became frequent visitors to Tingxuan Pavilion.

These days, there are too many people who come to Tingxuan Pavilion to greet them.

Almost in the court, Taishi Lin has become a master under one person and above ten thousand people, of course, his position was also very stable before, but it is not as dominant as now.

"So, does the Taishi still support the Great Prince?"

When Tang Buregret asked about this, Taishi naturally nodded.

"Among the three princes, the eldest prince is the most gentle, the second prince is the most free, and the third prince is the most calm. ”

Master Lin said it over and over again, playing chess with Tang without regrets.

Both of them are very good at chess, and it is also very interesting to chat and play at the same time.

"For the monarch of the world, we must be benevolent and open, and be benevolent and loyal first, so that the people of the world can be convinced. ”

"As a courtier, you need to share your worries for the saint at all times, and the saint can be benevolent, but the courtier needs to be thoughtful for His Majesty. ”

"Boxun seems to be weak, but he has great talent. ”

Zhong Chen seems to be astute, but he is like a galloping horse. ”

"Shu Yun seems to be calm, but he is too angry. ”

Indeed, Taishi is very accurate in looking at people.

The three princes are different, and their personality traits are simply completely different.

Yang Yi felt that the three princes were all his sons, and everyone was the same, but in the eyes of the Taishi, they were completely different.

Among the three, the eldest prince is the one who can be a good emperor.

Because, he listens.

Other people's opinions, but whatever he hears, he will ponder carefully.

He is self-aware, not overly arrogant.

This is a very rare quality, and it is also a very gratifying quality.

"Actually, I think you just don't like the Third Prince. ”

After Tang Buregret finished speaking, Taishi sighed.

That's right, he really doesn't like the three princes.

When he was in Yongzhou Mansion, he had met the three princes a few times, and that person was too angry, and he didn't look like a royal child at all.

Moreover, he seems to have stayed with Liu Ruyu in Yuelai Inn for a long time, and after staying with those people in the rivers and lakes for a long time, it is inevitable that he will be rusty.

If you can't do it alone, how can you help the world?

Let him be emperor?

It's a very indescribable thing.

"Speaking of which, there are no more people available in this court now. ”

"The new scholars are still young and need to be cultivated, and the castle tower and the Zhongzhou pastor are all employed now. ”

"Those geniuses at the beginning, now after the big waves, there are not many left. ”

Tang Buregret sighed, although among the previous competitions, whether it was the world competition or the palace test, there were still very few people who could become imperial talents in the end.

Many people are stuck in the third level of contemplation, and there are also many people who have done nothing after becoming a clerk.

Whether it is from martial arts or from literature, there are many wonderful and glamorous, and few perseverance.

"How many genius boys has the Taishi seen?"

Tang asked without regret, and Master Lin shook his head.

"I can't remember for a long time. ”

"Every palace exam, every big competition, I will go to watch the ceremony, those talented and powerful young geniuses, I have seen too much. ”

"However, they tend to stop in some strange places. ”

After Lin Luan finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Brother Tang, do you know about mountaineering?"

"What do you not know about mountaineering? Who hasn't climbed a mountain yet?"

"This man's practice is like climbing a mountain. ”

After Lin Luan finished speaking, a sunspot fell.

"People who are too smart to climb the mountain will sit down and rest when they are halfway up the mountain because they see the top of the mountain and feel tired. ”

"Those who can climb the mountains are the ones who keep their heads down and climb with all their might. ”

"So, those people who think they are smart, those young people who are full of confidence and come to Yunjing, I have seen too many over the years. ”

Listening to Lin Laozu's words, Tang Buregret seemed to have some understanding.

"However, over the years, I have rarely seen people climbing with their heads down. ”

That's exactly what happened.

Life now, though it is indeed getting better and better.

At the end of the war, the Zongjia directly issued an agricultural recovery plan, and the agricultural production of the entire cloud empire made everyone hungry.

Resolute and decisive execution has enabled the cloud empire to usher in rapid development in just ten years.

People were well fed, warmly dressed, and rich.

However, the spirit of hard work has also become lazy.

Not to mention others, even Tang doesn't regret it, he doesn't have the strength to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

It has become an old man who wanders in the green building five out of seven days a week.

How did this change come about?

"In the final analysis, it's a matter of the heart, it's a matter of education, it's a matter of the castle tower. ”

"At the same time, it's our problem. ”

Lin Luan Ancestor felt that the reason why people became lazy was because war no longer drove them.

Ordinary people always have inertia, and inertia will make them unconsciously choose to stagnate when they feel comfortable.

The smarter a person is, the harder it is to get out of that comfortable environment.

They know too well how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Whether it is practicing, reading, or creating, it is all drudgery.

You need to temper yourself, polish yourself, make yourself covered in blood, wounds, and exhaustion before you can make a huge breakthrough.

Without war, the warrior has no blood.

Without war, merchants became utilitarian.

Without war, the population began to become numb.

But, war, is definitely not a good thing!

Although he can make the whole country boil, make everyone's blood gush, and satisfy people's sense of national pride and honor.

However, war is never a good thing!

"We need to lead the people correctly. ”

After Lin Luan finished speaking, he looked at Tang Buregret with a smile, and at this time, Tang Buregret's game of chess was still defeated.

"How?"

"Through, our thoughts. ”

After Lin Luan finished speaking, he got up and looked out the window.

"Commoners are ignorant, nobles are lazy, merchants are profit-seekers. ”

"We need to make the ignorant sober, the lazy diligent, and the profit-seekers generous. ”

"This is our mission. ”

After Lin Luan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Tang Buregret.

"This marriage, at the very least, is to make the two children happy, and at the big level, it is to make everyone in this country happy. ”

Tang nodded in understanding, he understood what the master meant.

The thoughts of this master are always so rational and always so convincing.

Indeed, this is a great belief established for the entire Cloud Empire.

"In that case, I'm willing to make a sacrifice for you. ”

"For the sake of your great cause, I am willing not to go to the Qinglou for a month, how about it?"

Hearing Tang's statement that he did not regret it, Master Lin laughed.

This old guy is still so humorous!

......

At this time, in Tiantong Mansion, Lin Ruo looked at the documents in front of him in a daze.

She wanted to work, however, she was not in the mood to work at all.

If she really wants to marry Tang Xin, she doesn't know how to face herself.

She tried to convince herself, but was unsuccessful.

"Lin Fuchen, there is a bouquet of flowers outside, which is for you. ”

"Was it sent by Tang Xin?"

Lin Ruo asked, and the clerk replied:

"No, this bouquet is interesting......"

After speaking, the clerk brought the bouquet of flowers in, and when Lin Ruo saw this bouquet of flowers, he also burst out laughing.

"Who's going to bring popcorn? ”

Lin Ruo looked at this popcorn helplessly, if she remembered correctly, there was an old man who sold popcorn on the way up the mountain behind Tianheng Mountain.

At the beginning, she often sneaked out with Hu Yue and went down the mountain to buy popcorn to eat.

Naturally, he would also bring a little food to Yang Ming's guy, and Yang Ming said that this popcorn had no taste, and at the same time stuffed these things into his mouth.

can send this bouquet of flowers, except for Hu Yue, it is estimated that there is no one else.

"Give it to me, I know who sent it. ”

After the clerk handed the popcorn to Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo found a letter from the popcorn.

"Senior sister, I know you don't like to be forced, but you are different from us. ”

"But, for your happiness, we have prepared a carriage that will be able to go directly to Jiangzhou Mansion. ”

"If you don't like this wedding, then, I, Mo Lin, Yang Ming and Uncle Shi, we will take you away!"

"If you are willing to accept it, then we will bless you at the wedding. ”

"I love you forever, Hu Yue. ”

Looking at the letter that Hu Yue wrote for her in a crooked font, Lin Ruo's tears couldn't stop staying.

In the end, only Hu Yue and the others cared about whether she was happy or not.

At this time, Lin Ruo was extremely nostalgic for the days when he was in Tianheng Mountain, the days when he practiced swords and realized the Tao, and slipped into the back kitchen to eat a small stove.

However, after descending the mountain, everything was different.

There is no going back.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruo burst into tears, buried his head in the crook of his arm, and sobbed in a low voice.

......

"It's finally back!"

With the opening of a spatial gate in Yunjing, the two families and the three elders reappeared in the Qianqing Palace.

With the efforts of Ao Chun and Xue Zhongnan, the seal of the prison realm was finally completed.

This seal, it is very perfect, very strong, very strong!

Relying on the strength of the nine-clawed golden dragon itself, he was able to keep this layer of seals, so Yang Yi didn't have to go to the prison realm to guard it.

Such a happy ending is really gratifying.

"Today, you have to set a table for me to celebrate anything!"

The Heng family said very happily, since the matter of this prison world has been resolved, then Li Sheng does not have to guard the entrance and exit of the prison world every day.

If we had called Ao Chun earlier, why would we have made such a mess.

"I have to be good, please please, this time the pacification of the prison realm, you are definitely the first credit. ”

The Zong family said with great appreciation, and when talking to the Heng family, his tone became very calm.

Yang Yi and the two elders stepped forward and looked at the returning people very happily.

"It's good to come back, if things settle down, then everyone will be free. ”

"Your Majesty, since the matter has been settled, then the ministers will also retire. ”

Lin Yuchen and the others naturally wouldn't stay for long, so after informing them and saluting slightly, they left together.

After the five elders left, only the two families present, Ao Chun and Yang Yi, were left.

"I won't mix with you anymore, I've been away from Neptune Island for so long, and that group of beasts has no one to guard, so I guess I've been restless for a while. ”

"I need to go back quickly. ”

After Ao Chun finished speaking, he also left in a hurry, and then, there were only three people left.

"Looks like the three of us can have a good drink. ”

Xuanyuan Ming looked at Li Sheng and Yang Yi.

"The last time I drank like this, it was at Lingyun's funeral. ”

He said, then sighed.

"Thinking about it this way, my daughter-in-law has been dead for more than 50 years. ”

Suddenly, a gloom rose on the face of the Heng family, Li Sheng patted him on the shoulder, and the three of them walked towards the back of the Qianqing Palace.

In the back garden, the three of them had a long talk and talked a lot about the things of the year.

Here, they are not the emperor, not the queen, nor the top Heng family.

They are still as young as they were back then.

It's just that time has passed and gone with the wind.

Now, there's just one less.

Love and hate, wandering.

I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life.

Volume 8, war songs are everywhere, end.
