Section 2 Reputation in the world
For a while, it was difficult to deny the extraordinary mundane power of this self-proclaimed Divine Soul Immortal. It's just that he still has doubts in his heart, and he doesn't believe that this person is the representative of the will power of the divine soul.
"Is there really an immortal in the world?" Could it be that there are really many human race immortals in charge of everything hidden in the sky, if so, I am afraid that this immortal is just borrowing the name of the Divine Soul Great Immortal to deceive our clan, he said that he must be doubly guarded, and must not let him become the leader of the Divine Soul Army......
The step was frightened, but his face was calm, and he gently flapped his black light wings, and slowly flew into the air, looking down on the soldiers and civilians kneeling on the ground inside and outside the palace from a high place.
"Immortals have immortal ways, and there are mortal ways. The Divine Soul Great Immortal cannot set foot in the mortal world with the body of an immortal, and now it is said that an exception is made to show the immortal spirit to guide our clan, and our clan will never live up to the expectations of the immortals! The Divine Soul Great Immortal consumes divine power to show miracles, and all of our clan are excited, please believe in our clan's belief in pursuing the will power of the divine soul, and do not continue to consume divine power to consume immortal spirits!"
Bu Jingxian was afraid that this immortal would always come out and interfere with the future actions of the Divine Soul Army, so the surname Suo would plan and say that he could not appear at will.
The Divine Soul Army didn't know what was going on, and they all thought that Bu Jingxian had a clear understanding of the matter of the Divine Soul Immortal, and they all shouted and agreed, asking the Divine Soul Immortal not to continue to consume the immortals, and swore loudly one by one that they would always follow the will power of the Divine Soul and die unwaveringly.
The miracle in the sky gradually faded, and the figure of the Great Immortal gradually blurred and faded.
The sky is still cloudless, and the sun is still shining.
Under the scorching sun, the black wings of light on their backs, and the step-frightening immortals wearing dragon-patterned black armor have become the scenery of the military and civilians of Weidu.
The Great Immortal of the Divine Soul showed miracles in the former King of Wei, giving the Northern Monarch the will power of the Divine Soul on the left bank. It didn't take long for the news to spread all over the world, and the miracle was exaggerated more and more deviant from the reality, and it became more and more absurd and bizarre.
This news also made the Divine Soul Rebel Army all over the world excited, and more Divine Soul Will seekers stood up and took up arms.
When the Bai sisters, who were in Beiyin City, the capital of Zhou, heard about this, they all felt incredulous. For this reason, Feiying sent a letter to ask Zhao Ji, and only after getting her reply did he dare to believe the miracle of the immortal manifestation of the Wei State.
The worship of the stars was very happy about this, and always said, "The husband has been blessed by the gods! There are really gods and souls in the world!"
But the moon worships more and more sorrow, and for a while she hates the immortal spirit, and for a while she feels that she is too prejudiced. After saying this, Bai Yue suddenly proposed, "Sister, the husband is not going to lead the Divine Soul Army back to the north, why don't we sisters rush to meet the husband on the way?"
Worshipping the stars was overjoyed, she had long wanted to find the step frightened immortal, and she was able to meet earlier, and she happily hurriedly agreed.
The ghost was worried, so he led the troops to accompany him to protect, and he muttered to Bilian along the way, complaining, "Lao Tzu's qualifications are amazing, why didn't the gods take a fancy to Lao Tzu?"
It is said that Ling Luo hurried back to Zhengdu, and on the way received a message from his father, Zuo Chang, from the flying eagle.
There is only one sentence in it.
"Although there is no regret for the country and the people, there is no sin in protecting one's life. ”
After a little pondering, Ling Luo understood his father's reminder.
When Ling Luo returned to Zheng Du, King Zheng did not summon him immediately. Instead, he was asked to wait in the palace until the next morning, and then summoned him to the court.
Ling Luo found that the two princes now also had to discuss politics in the court, so he understood that the crown prince was eager to cultivate power after succeeding to the throne, and even the two brothers who were not successful at all also used it. He also noticed that many officials who were hostile to his father had hidden colors in their eyes, and he guessed that if he did not deal with it properly, he would face great trouble.
King Zheng first praised the achievements of Ling Luo's army in destroying Wei, and all those who deserved meritorious service in the army were duly rewarded. He also rewarded Lingluo thousands of miles of fertile land, 10,000 taels of gold, several pieces of imperial sword armor, and a mansion.
After Ling fell to thank him, he hurriedly asked for his life, "Your Excellency, the minister was secretly injured in the low mountain pass, and these people have not been able to meditate and cultivate. The post of general of Zhendong is temporarily unable to hold it, and he implores the king to withdraw the general's seal, choose another virtuous man, and allow the minister to recuperate at home and not go to court for the time being. ”
Ling Luo suddenly resigned and let go of power, which surprised the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty.
King Zheng groaned for a while, but still nodded his head accurately.
"Since Aiqing is injured, let's go back to recuperate first. Aiqing is the pillar of the country, and health must not be neglected, and there are many places where this king relies on Aiqing. ”
Ling Luo thanked him on the spot and retired, and left the palace straight home.
Soon after arriving home, Princess Tian Lai also rushed back. Seeing him at home, he couldn't help but wonder, "How is Xinhou at home?
I haven't seen each other for a long time, and when Ling Luo held Princess Tianlai's hand, she felt that she had lost weight, and couldn't help but say with pity, "The princess has lost weight!"
"Xinhou doesn't have to be like this, Xinhou is really hard to lead the troops outside. ”
Ling Luo helped the princess to sit down, and after saying the resignation, the princess nodded again and again, "Xinhou is so good." This time, when he came back, he was about to meet the king, asking to take back Zheng Wangjian, and no longer go to the court to discuss politics. ”
Ling Luo's heart trembled when he heard this, and he clenched the princess's hand with both guilt and emotion, and said, "The princess has been dedicated to the country and the people since she was a child, and she was finally able to do something for the country, but now for me, she does not hesitate to give up the court!
"How can the marquis say such things? What the marquis does is worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the king, and worthy of the subjects. Now that I have suffered this humiliation and have not complained, if I only care about myself, and I can't avoid disasters for Xinhou and accompany Xinhou at such a time, wouldn't I be worthy of my affection for Xinhou!"
King Zheng wants to suppress him, and Princess Tian Lai is bound to be implicated. Now that he took the initiative to resign so that King Zheng could no longer be held responsible, it was like making King Zheng full of anger and having nowhere to vent, only Princess Tian Lai also stayed away from the court to avoid right and wrong, and King Zheng was really helpless against them.
Ling Luo couldn't help but feel guilty when he thought of the princess's intentions.
After a period of time, Ling Luo lived in a simple place. Chao Chinese Wu knew that King Zheng was dissatisfied with him, and many officials did not go to his mansion.
Soon Zuo Shuchang returned to Zhengdu from Beiguan, handed over the general seal, and let go of the military power. The father and son were idle for a while, and they were also at ease every time they talked about military books in the house, practiced martial arts and played chess.
The initiative of the chief of the left is very happy to King Zheng, the civil and military positions of Zheng Guo have changed one after another in a short period of time, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have gradually changed to only look at the face of King Zheng.
There are always people who come to the door to ask to see Zuo Shuchang, but they are all turned away.
When Ling Luo heard that Beijun proposed to return the land of the old capital of Zhou with the land owned by the Divine Soul Army of Wei, he was very worried in the palace.
"What? The king agreed?" The subordinate who inquired about the news came back to report that King Zheng had agreed, Ling Luo couldn't help but be anxious, walked around a few times, and was about to change his clothes and leave the house to ask to see King Zheng, but was stopped by the chief Zuo who heard the news.
"Father! The land of the old capital of the Zhou State must not be handed over to the Divine Soul Army, it seems to be insignificant, but the Zhou capital and Beiguan were originally separated by a long river, and the distance was far away, and the Zhou State must cross the river if it wants to send troops, and when the army crosses the river, it will inevitably be noticed by our army. If Beijun gets the land of the old capital of the Zhou Kingdom, it will be tantamount to facilitating the use of troops against our country!"
Ling Luo was anxious, but Zuo Shu Chang was not in a hurry, and stopped him and said, "So you want to ask to see King Zheng, explain the benefits, and ask King Zheng to refuse Beijun's proposal?"
"That's good!" After Ling Luo agreed, seeing his father's indifferent face, he hurriedly bowed down again, and humbly asked, "Father thinks this move is inappropriate?"
"If you are not in your position, you are not in charge. At this time, King Zheng will not listen to you, and you will only dissuade you, but you will only set yourself on fire, so that King Zheng will think that you are arrogant, and it seems that Zheng Guo will decline without you, and King Zheng will not only not consider your good words, but will have the intention of killing you. ”
"But......" Ling Luo was still waiting to say more, and he had no strength to beat him with Zuo Shu's words.
"Those who do not know how to protect themselves are by no means pillars of the country, and if you are impulsively sent to death for one thing today, how can you do thousands of things for the country and the people in the future? If you have the heart to become a courtier who has died of loyalty and advice, and has spread a good reputation, my father, will not stop you. ”
Ling Luo sighed and regained his composure. He certainly wasn't born to be like that.
"Father--the power cannot be used, and the taste of loyalty not being used is so abrasive!" Ling Luo sighed and said, "If the first king was alive, how could he be so ......"
Zuo Shuchang smiled faintly.
"My son is not like this, no one is perfect. At that time, the former king once snubbed his father because of his refusal to marry, and was demoted six times in three months, and served as a janitor for three years. ”
Ling Luo couldn't help but be stunned, in the past, he had only heard about his father's majesty, and he had never heard of such an embarrassing experience. These words made him suddenly feel cheerful and understand that life is in the world and there are many experiences. After the present is over, it is said that the present is just a cloud of smoke that has passed. Sorrow and troubles are useless, it is better to open your heart and enjoy the peace of the moment.
"I'm afraid that my father will be anxious. ”
"Haha...... Although my father is old, he is not afraid to go to the battlefield, and he is not in a hurry to leave the battlefield. For many years, the time spent at home is limited, and now I should only enjoy the joy of family. Why the hurry?"
"Okay! I will learn from my father's mind, and sit and watch the situation change. ”
The two fathers and sons casually talked about some battlefield combat experiences, and most of them were Zuo Shuchang who listened to Ling Luo's detailed account of the battle against Wei. At the end, speaking of Beijun's left bank, Ling Luo said with great interest, "What is Father's plan to see Beijun now?"
Zuo Shuchang shook his head and smiled. "The father is just a general's talent, then the northern monarch is the emperor's talent, and the father can't guess his plan. It's just that the current situation seems that it is inevitable for Beijun to destroy the Black Wolf Clan. ”
Ling Luo couldn't help but laugh dumbly. "My father was always so modest, saying that he didn't know, but in fact he hit the nail on the head. The Northern Monarch was very ambitious, and he knew that the land of Wei would not be held for a long time, but now that he had abandoned it, he was bound to unify the Northern Land, and then seek a way to destroy Han! At that time, he would be able to deploy heavy troops in the old capital of the Zhou Dynasty to guard against our Zheng State, and take advantage of the Korean territory to facilitate the attack of Zheng and Chu together, or take the Qi State. Beijun acts quickly and absibly, aspires to dominate the world within ten years, and refuses to recuperate for a long time, and the Beidi may be ignited in less than a month. ”
"My son's talent is far above that of his father, and he will resist Beijun in the future, and it depends on my son-"
"Father was humble. But he who is the son of man ought to share the sorrows of his father. The battlefield is dangerous, and the child really doesn't want his father to put on his armor and fight the enemy again. ”
Zuo Shu raised his face with a smile and looked at the sky, and said indifferently, "My son's filial piety is commendable." It's just a wolf and a tiger, and the battle is dead......"
