Chapter 19: The Way of the Emperor

Emperor Qi couldn't help but recall the scene in this hall just now, and Xia Jin hurried over to intercede for Huoyun Zhenren's disciple. This son of his own, who is also the son of his successor, has a bearing that is far worse than the young man in front of him.

To control the imperial court, it is not only necessary to cultivate, wisdom, scheming, and generosity. If you have enough bearing, others will not be able to see through you, and if they can't see through you, they will not dare to underestimate you, and they will be in awe.

Of course, if the cultivation can reach the level of Emperor Xia, everything does not need to be said, in a word, it can decide the life and death of the common people, and no one can stop it. But... How many Xia Emperors are there in this world?

23,000 years ago, there was no strong person like Emperor Xia, and for 23,000 years, it has never appeared, there is no ancient, and there is no one after!

On the path of cultivation, how many amazing and brilliant characters were there at the beginning, but those who can really stand at the top... Too little, too little. Don't talk about others, it's just that he is the emperor of Qi, acting on behalf of the heavens, there is no shortage of spiritual stones, and there is no shortage of spiritual supplies. But it is also the Jindan Shidan realm, and even Cheng Yuanying is not the slightest sure.

In this world, there are many things that are easy to do, but to be unique, it is too difficult and too difficult. There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.

One person enjoys a lifespan of more than 23,000 years, and he also has monstrous strength, which is terrifying.

Emperor Qi looked at Xu Chuan, his eyes flickered, and he thought of a lot, the most was Emperor Xia and Xia Jin, Emperor Xia made him awe, that was the only thing he was in awe. And Xia Jin...

He likes Xia Jin's talent and cleverness, but he doesn't like Xia Jin's indifference and ruthlessness in his bones, human beings are an animal with feelings, whether they are strong or weak... They all pay attention to family affection, friendship and even love, because there is affection, so the strong will shelter the weak, pass on the torch, and become more and more prosperous. This is a world of emotional connection, too ruthless, using everything, leaving everything behind, Emperor Qi does not approve.

But Xia Jin is courageous, ambitious, and dares to speak and do, which is another advantage of an emperor, not only the advantage of an emperor, but also the advantage of a competent leader of King Qi.

Who doesn't have some blemishes?

Emperor Qi gathered his mind, looked at Xu Chuan, and said with a smile on his old face: "Xu Yu came to see me for Peng Hao and the Yin Ghost Girl?" I sentenced the Yin Ghost Girl to be executed, and it can also deter the Star God Sect from being small, Xu Yuma's work this time is very beautiful, I heard that Xu Yuma got the news early, and asked Qin Zuo and Li Dong to wait outside Huoyun Mansion in advance? Wonderful, wonderful. ”

Xu Chuan took a deep breath. I was about to speak.

Airplanes.

Two more options popped into his mind: "One, sigh silently. Luck +20. ”

"Second, state your own opinions, luck -30, Emperor Qi's favorability -10."

Xu Chuan glanced at these two options, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again, just sighing softly.

Emperor Qi praised Xu Chuan and started talking, and then looked at how Xu Chuan answered, is it questioning? Is it argued? There is no latter, only a sigh, but this sigh seems to contain a lot of things, disappointment? Lose?

Many people in the world are afraid that others will be disappointed in themselves, children will be afraid that their parents will be disappointed in themselves, students will be afraid that their teachers will be disappointed in themselves, husbands will be afraid that their wives will be disappointed in themselves, and who will be afraid of being disappointed in themselves as an emperor? The people of the world? A courtier in the court?

Many people live and struggle, don't they just want others to recognize themselves?

Emperor Qi is old, the older he gets, the more he cares about what others think of him, especially the concubine of Princess Miaoyin in front of him, Tian Cewei is ready to lead, maybe one day, Xu Chuan can see Emperor Xia, one day, Xu Chuan can become stronger, at that time, he doesn't want this strong man to be disappointed in his own emperor.

So Xu Chuan sighed, and without opening his mouth, Emperor Qi himself couldn't help but explain: "Do you think I should check Huoyun Zhenren again?" Even if Huoyun Zhenren knows about the Yin Ghost Girl, but with his cultivation strength and military guard status, the Yin Ghost Girl can't help him with anything, so even if Huoyun Zhenren knows, he just knows, who his disciples are friends with, and the master can't ask about everything, right? ”

Huoyun Zhenren can't have an accident, Emperor Junwei's two Yuanying monks, General Lu and Huoyun Zhenren are all supporters of the Qi Emperor's lineage, and it is impossible for Emperor Qi to move Huoyun Zhenren.

Of course Xu Chuan understands this, what he wants to say is Peng Hao, and he is ready to speak again...

This time there is no trial option presented.

Only then did he say: "That Peng Hao." ”

"Peng Hao... An ant, just a bed bug. Emperor Qi smiled. Peng Hao is such a person, such a thing, and he deserves to mention it? Worthy of being in front of him?

Xu Chuan said: "Your Majesty just pardoned him like this?" In the capital, I don't know how many women who are waiting to give birth because of him, causing the heavens to be angry and resentful, he will not die, and the people's grievances will not be removed. ”

"The people's grievances are not removed? Not necessarily, Peng Hao is just being used and an accomplice, and the culprit is the yin ghost girl. Emperor Qi spoke.

When the words fell, without waiting for Xu Chuan to refute, Emperor Qi himself first exhaled a deep breath of turbidity. He looked up at the exquisite decorations on the top of the temple, painted and carved, and said slowly: "Can you convince the public for this reason?" ”

His words seemed to be asking Xu Chuan, and it seemed to be asking himself.

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Emperor Qi.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel a trace of helplessness in this dying old man. But Xu Chuan was still very firm and said: "For the tiger, the accomplice is even more hateful, heinous, Peng Hao should be killed!" It's hard to convince the public if you don't kill! ”

Emperor Qi retracted his gaze from the top of the palace, his eyes were calm, he looked at Xu Chuan fixedly, and said slowly: "Xu Yuma is right, the accomplice is more hateful, and he should be killed, I also like to be happy and revenge, just such a bedbug, an ant, pinched to death, pinched to death, and a justice for the victims, and a clean and righteous person in heaven and earth, but I can't." Just because he is just a bed bug, an ant, he has no effect when he is alive, but when he dies, it will affect even more. ”

"Your Majesty is talking about Huoyun Zhenren?" Xu Chuan frowned.

Emperor Qi smiled lightly: "People have desires, have weaknesses, because they have desires, so they are greedy, they want to get what they can't get, and they want to get more if they get it, the court governs the world and manages the people of the world, and the cultivators are no exception, power has become another pursuit of the cultivators in addition to their strength, using power, the weak can shelter themselves, protect their relatives, they can have beautiful women, enough cultivation resources, and there are many people who are attached to you and work for you." I have given them power, and they will die for me, and they will work for me, and of course I will defend them. Some small things, you can get a loyal heart, why not? ”

Xu Chuan was stunned, he asked himself that his eloquence was not bad, and today he was so shocked by this old emperor that he couldn't speak.

Emperor Qi's words are too realistic, when the water is clear, there are no fish, even if he is a saint, he has desires. Desire is not a pure derogatory term, wanting strong strength is a kind of desire, wanting the beloved to stay together, it is a desire, wanting to live forever, glory and wealth, it is also a desire, it is precisely because of desire that the human race has gone from unclothed to beautiful clothes, carriages and horses, from coarse tea and light rice to delicious food, brocade clothes and jade food!

It can be said that desire is the greatest driving force for a person and a nation to move forward! If everyone really has no desire, does not eat the fireworks of the world, and is muddy, what is the difference between living and pigs and dogs? Without desire, rest on your laurels, and sooner or later let more desires devour your life! Eliminated by the world!

"This is a point, and another point, Xu Chuan, if I tell you that you will die for me, are you willing?" Emperor Qi laughed.

Gonggong Deng's drooping eyelids lifted.

Xu Chuan hurriedly got up, his thoughts were spinning, and he was about to speak, but Emperor Qi had already waved his hand and said: "You are the concubine of Princess Miaoyin, a relative of the emperor, you only need to obey the orders of the emperor's ancestors." You don't need to die for me, because I can't give you more. ”

"But Huoyun Zhenren is different, everything about him is given by me, if I encounter this kind of thing when I am young, it will also be thunderous and angry, and kill that Peng Hao on the spot, which will make Huoyun Zhenren tremble. But I'm old, Jin'er is the future Emperor Qi, and his favor, Huoyun Zhenren has written it down, this is the reason why Huoyun Zhenren wants to work hard for Jin'er, isn't it? Emperor Qi smiled.

Xu Chuan was silent.

He understood, of course he understood, he was singing blackface and gave Huoyun Zhenren a stick, and Xia Jin was singing whiteface and gave a sweet date. Speaking of which, Xia Jin should also be grateful to Xu Chuan for giving Huoyun Zhenren such an opportunity to be grateful to him.

This is the emperor?

"Xu Chuan, you have done a good job, the laws of the court cannot be broken, the cultivators gather under the court, without constraints, they will become a wild horse that has escaped, it is precisely because of the constraints of the law that this wild horse can be tamed and on the right track. Do you understand? Emperor Qi looked at him with a smile.

It is also a great power to be able to put the law in place.

"Yes." Xu Chuan nodded.

Emperor Qi smiled, he said so much to Xu Chuan today, explained so much, it was already very rare, it was very rare, which showed his love for Xu Chuan. The future, after all, belongs to these young people.

"Okay, you go, I'm a little tired, remember to say hello to Princess Miaoyin on behalf of me." Emperor Qi waved his hand.

Xu Chuan bowed.

But he didn't get up, but bowed his head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is right, the way of the emperor, Xu Chuan doesn't understand, Xu Chuan has been a county order, a prefect, and now his Majesty appreciates, and Xu Chuan is even more young to do the position of inspector of the great imperial history, ranking in the Nine Emperors, supervising hundreds of officials, Xu Chuan can't see the love in His Majesty's eyes, Xu Chuan sees the law, it is justice!" Today, His Majesty said something heartfelt to Xu Chuan, Xu Chuan listened to it, Xu Chuan also had a heartfelt word, Your Majesty would like to hear it? ”

Gonggong Deng looked at Xu Chuan, Emperor Qi looked over, with a smile on his face, he remembered that Xu Chuan told him that story last time, and the expressions of those sons and sons made him very happy for a few days. He liked to talk to Xu Chuan very much, and nodded with a smile: "Speak!" ”

Xu Chuan didn't raise his head, and said loudly: "My Great Xia Imperial Court dominates the nineteen states of the world, commands the world, protects all the people, monsters are eyeing the outside, and evil cultivation is a disaster for the country and the people, have I ever been afraid of Great Xia?" Has Emperor Xia ever been afraid? His Majesty is in a high position, acting on behalf of the heavens, is the lord of the court, looking down on everything, but unfortunately he only sees his own veins and acres in his eyes, the bottles and cans at home, this is afraid of knocking, that is afraid of touching, as a Jindan monk, Shouyuan has not arrived, and the catastrophe has not been completed, so he has no intention of thinking about future generations, to be honest, the minister is uneasy for His Majesty. ”

"My human race, the integrity will not disappear, the heart fire will not be extinguished, and the struggle will not stop! This is the only way to prosper and thrive to this day. The law can restrain the cultivators, but once the law is made today and relaxed tomorrow, what deterrent will there be over time? The ministers are uneasy, not for the Great Xia, the Xia Dynasty has the Xia Emperor, there is a pillar that supports the sky, and the stone of the sea. But Your Majesty's lineage, if you can't even determine the law of Emperor Xia, the majesty of the court is gone, and your majesty is still there today, what about him? ”

Emperor Qi stood up from behind the golden case, his whole body seemed to be trembling, his chest rose and fell, his true yuan aura was mighty, and a pair of tiger eyes exuded a terrifying light.

Gonggong Deng's face also changed, he looked at Xu Chuan in surprise, and even nervously couldn't help but take a step forward, for fear that Emperor Qi couldn't help but be angry and shot at Xu Chuan.

"Minister, retire."

Xu Chuan was unconscious, he didn't even raise his head, and slowly withdrew from the hall, until Xu Chuan withdrew from the hall, and Emperor Qi's chest was still there, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a while, he was dejected and looked at the long case in front of him.

"I... Has my sharpness been gone? He took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and said, "No! I am the Emperor of Qi, if I survive the catastrophe, become a primordial baby, and have a lifespan, who can make my sharp spirit disappear completely?! ”

"The imperial court guards are all for my use, my kindness is kindness and affection, and my strictness is the strict rule of law, why should I be afraid of people?"

He said in his mouth, but his temperament was obviously different. Xu Chuan's words are still useful.

The attendants trembled like quails.

Gonggong Deng was not shocked, just thinking about what Xu Chuan said earlier, a special look flashed in his eyes.

……

"Emperor Qi's opinion is -80. Existing friendship is 0. ”

"Emperor Qi's opinion +90. Current opinion is 90. ”

Xu Chuan withdrew from this golden hall, two favorability hints appeared in his mind, and he took a deep breath.

There was no option prompt just now, but he really didn't vomit or be unhappy. Of course, Xu Chuan felt in his heart that Emperor Qi had the potential to be a good emperor, and the latter also said very clearly, he was not young, he was old, and he was going to pave the way for Xia Jin, so he relented.

This proves that even if Xu Chuan asks to kill Peng Hao again, his black face will just sing louder. In the end, Xia Jin's white face took advantage.

Xu Chuan simply didn't bother to say.

"How long does Emperor Qi's Shouyuan last?" Xu Chuan's heart moved, and he watched Emperor Qi through the future catalog.

In the future catalogue, on a pavilion, Emperor Qi sat on it in a gorgeous robe, as if waiting for something, his face was like ashes, but there was an insect in the dantian that was biting his golden pill.

"This is? Didn't Emperor Qi die at the end of his life? ”

Xu Chuan didn't know why. While thinking, he walked out of the court. Outside the main entrance of the palace, four figures were walking in the same way.

Conversations could be heard in the distance.

"Thank you Gongzi for rescuing my apprentice this time, Lao Dao swears by the catastrophe, from now on, I am willing to die for my son, and go to the soup and fire!"

"The real person is polite, the real person is loyal to my King Qi, who will this son help you if he doesn't help you? Peng Hao, this is a high-grade healing elixir refined by the alchemy master "Master Gu Xuan" in the womb of this father, and it will be given to you. ”

"Thank you, Childe."

Xu Chuan's heart moved when he heard the voice, and when he looked up, the four people in front of him came from the east palace, although they were also out of the palace, but they could just see Xu Chuan, and when they saw Xu Chuan.

Three of the four's faces changed.

Xia Jin smiled, Huoyun Zhenren had a blue face, and Peng Hao immediately shrank behind Huoyun Zhenren like a frightened cat.

Only the black-robed monk guard behind Xia Jin had the same expression.

Xu Chuan's gaze must have fallen on Xia Jin's hands. Xia Jin's palm was suspended with a green elixir, exuding a rich aura, at first glance it was a healing elixir, originally Peng Hao was going to take it, but when he saw Xu Chuan, he shrank timidly.

Xia Jin's hand remained in this position.

When Xu Chuan saw the elixir, a light flashed in his eyes instantly.

"If the emperor doesn't uphold justice, then I'll seek justice myself!"

The thought flashed in his heart, Xu Chuan showed a smile on his face, and walked over with a smile.
