"Go ahead."

Jingtai waved his hand and motioned for Cao Zhengxian to step down.

"The old minister retired."

Cao Zhengxian bowed, rolled up the map of the country and mountains on the desk, and bent down to leave the imperial study.

Suddenly, Jingtai seemed to think of something and said:

"Wait."

"What else does Your Majesty command?" Cao Zhengxian raised his head.

"Spread my will, and after seven days, I ordered Wu'an Marquis Chen Yuan to go to Shushan to hold accountable, why would such a rebellion as the Daoshen Palace be linked with Shushan, could it be that he wanted to rebel against the imperial court?"

Jingtai said lightly.

Cao Zhengxian's eyes were slightly surprised:

"What if this forces Shushan to rebel?"

"The south is no longer under the control of the imperial court, it is the same whether it is reversed or not, it is good to let it mess up, and the imperial court can also withdraw and no longer care about the demon clan in southern Xinjiang."

"This"

Jingtai frowned, looked down at Cao Zhengxian and said:

"What, you have doubts?"

"What if Wu'an Hou doesn't go to Shushan?"

"Then remove his officials, cut off his knighthood, and make him enter Beijing to bear the guilt."

"If that's the case, I'm afraid he won't come." Cao Zhengxian frowned lightly and said slowly.

"It's the same whether to come or not, it's just that I don't want to see him so smooth, I'm afraid this son has other thoughts in his heart, and now the things in the south are one by one, all of which show his thoughts, if the world is in chaos, this son will definitely take advantage of the situation and rebel, and give him the name of a chaotic minister and thief, and the reputation of the battle of Liangzhou City is estimated to be offset.

He is just a mere cultivator, and without fame and protection, what can he be considered in this chaotic world where a group of heroes rise together? Talent?

Hehe, if you don't grow up, it's nothing! ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Jingtai's eyes, before he wanted to tie a rope around Chen Yuan's neck so that he would be loyal to the Sima clan forever, but he was unwilling, and deliberately accumulated strength in the south.

He saw it in his eyes, and he had already moved to kill.

It's just that his reputation is too heavy, and his current power is not low, and directly attacking him will only chill the officials below, so it is better to cut his reputation.

Let him die in the melee.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Okay, step aside, and invite the two princes and uncles to come to the imperial study."

"Yes."

When Cao Zhengxian left, Jingtai took out a transmission note from between his sleeves and said lightly:

"It's time to go!"

The hurricane in the Battle of Shushan blew very quickly, but in just a few days, it blew to the side of the capital, which immediately caused an extremely huge shock.

Many court nobles were a little panicked in their hearts, for fear that the troubled times would open and disturb their glory and wealth.

And like the eldest princess Pingyang and the princes, they are all worried, as if they have seen the time when the building is about to fall, and even the prince who was in full swing before has no movement.

The world is going to be in chaos, what are you fighting for the crown prince, are you really not afraid of the emperor's anger?

All they can do is stay honest.

After thinking about it, the fourth prince Sima Ke still sent someone to send a letter to the south, which was a letter to Chen Yuan, the Marquis of Wu'an, which mentioned his current situation, and also vaguely mentioned the concubine in the palace.

I hope that Chen Yuan's heart can always worry about their mother and son, and it is best to find a way to get out of the southern quagmire, so as not to be the first to be targeted in the world.

He wasn't really worried about Chen Yuan's safety, he just felt that now Chen Yuan was his and his mother's biggest support, if he fell, who would help him to take the position?

How do you compete with the brothers on your head?

There is turmoil in the world, and the safest place is still Zhongzhou, where the strongest power of the royal family is here, and no one can get in, so it's better to come back.

It's just that it can be expected that Chen Yuan won't pay attention to him at all.

For him, Sima Ke and Yang Guifei's mother and son are just chess pieces, and they are basically useless to him now, how can they still deal with him?

Woman? Is he short of women?

Righteous son? Does he lack a son?

It's night.

Now the governor of the Governor's Surveyor Division, the Duke of Weiguo, Gu Tianqiong, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses who have regained military power, and Sima Che, the uncle of Jingtai, have joined forces to go to the imperial study.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

"Yes."

The three of them saluted in unison.

Jingtai smiled and motioned for the three of them to sit down.

"I don't know why Your Majesty called me to come here tonight?" Li Qixiu is an anxious child, this time Jingtai summoned all three of them to the imperial study, and the bright-faced people knew that something was wrong at a glance.

As for what's going on. He estimated that it should still have something to do with the Battle of Shushan.

"How's Zhen Guogong's injury?" Jingtai didn't speak directly, but asked about other things.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, it's no big deal!"

Li Qixiu raised his hand and saluted, for him, the rebirth of a severed limb is nothing, and after this period of recuperation, he is basically back to the same as before.

There may be some obstacles, but it's definitely not much.

"That's good, Zhenguo Gong is the pillar of the imperial court, and there must be no damage." Jingtai continued to laugh.

"Huh."

After chatting a few words, Jingtai's voice changed and he sighed:

"I think the uncle and the two princes already know about Shushan, right?"

"Not bad."

"Exactly."

The movement of the Battle of Shushan was so big, how could they not know about it?

Even if Jingtai hadn't invited them into the palace today, they would have to face the saints.

"In the battle of Shu Mountain, the seven demon saints of the demon clan plus one true monarch of the human race, a total of eight true monarch level powerhouses descended on Shu Mountain, fought with immortal soldiers, and then a demon god appeared.

On the Shushan side, it attracted the Dao Divine Palace, Biyou Palace and other forces to contend with it, and finally forced the Demon Saint to retreat and smashed the Demon Emperor Bell, the supreme treasure of the Demon Clan. ”

Jingtai briefly recounted it and continued:

"The demon clan in southern Xinjiang has accumulated five hundred years, and its strength is all over the sky, and it can enter the Central Plains at any time, and Shushan is the three major forces joining forces, and there are no two powerful ones, and there are the Demon Gate of the Blood State, the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the uncontrollable Nangong Lie, the current south is like cooking oil on fire, and it may break out at any time.

The previous wars have made many wolf ambitions have the intention of subverting the dynasty, it can be said that the imperial court has reached the most critical moment, and the entire country may be buried at any time! ”

Jingtai's face was heavy, and as he spoke, several true monarchs present were also solemn, and they could all see the general trend of the world.

The power of the imperial court is still too weak in comparison.

"If there are people who are powerless to turn the tide, the Great Jin will repeat the disaster of the former Chu."

"Your Majesty has a solution?"

Sima Che raised his head to look at Jingtai, while Li Qixiu and Gu Tianqiong frowned, not quite understanding the meaning, but they also raised their heads to look at the emperor.

"I am not a celestial being, and I can't suppress the entire world, but I may be able to keep half of the country, and when the forces of the rivers and lakes are fighting, I still have a chance to regain the old mountains and rivers."

Jingtai's eyes seemed to flash with a flash of fire, and his gaze was calm.

"Your Majesty is going to officially give up the three southern states?" Gu Tianqiong frowned, and his face was a little unpleasant, but he didn't say anything.

Suppressing the whole world is still a little too demanding for Jingtai.

Not even an immortal can do it, let alone a mortal?

"Yes, survival with a broken arm is the best policy."

After the battle of Liangshan before, when the three of them came back, Jingtai said that as long as the lands of Zhong, He, Yun, Yang, and Sizhou were kept, there would still be hope for the imperial court.

At that time, it could be regarded as a preparation for the three of them, but now they are preparing to really survive with a broken arm, and most of the forces of the imperial court have been withdrawn to the four states.

It is also a good policy to give up those forces to them to fight for.

"That's fine."

Li Crazy sighed lightly.

"It's a pity that the ancestral inheritance."

Sima Che shook his head slowly, and all kinds of feelings suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Don't be depressed, a momentary victory or defeat is nothing, only the final winner is eternal, now it's just deliberately letting it out, and you can take it back in the future."

Jingtai said in a condensed voice.

The three people in front of him control the three major forces of the imperial court, the military, the Sky Survey Division, and the royal family, and the real power is very large, even if he is the emperor, he has to know the three of them.

This is a rule given by the imperial power, even if he is the emperor, but after all, he is not the founding emperor, and he must abide by this rule.

"How do I take it back?"

Sima Che asked calmly.

Jingtai stood up and said:

"Now the strength of the imperial court cannot overpower the rivers and lakes, and Taizu is in a dead pass and cannot get out, and now there is an urgent need for a strong man in the true sense."

He did not answer Sima Che's words, but changed his voice and mentioned his purpose.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"Could it be that Your Majesty has attracted such a strong person?"

If there is a strong man in the true sense, the court will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai, and there will be a chance to regain the mountains and rivers in the future.

"It's better to ask for others than for yourself, I have read ancient and modern strange books, and found a way to bless the emperor with the help of the power of national fortune, and then have the power to rival the six realms."

Jingtai said in a deep voice.

And his words were like a heavy hammer, hammering into the hearts of several people.

A flash of joy flashed in the eyes of Li Qixiu and Gu Tianqiong, it seemed that they didn't expect it to be like this, if the emperor could match the immortals of the Six Realms, then it would naturally be the best.

If you count Taizu, I'm afraid no one will dare to enter the capital.

But Sima Che frowned deeply, as a member of the royal family and one of the four sons of Taizu, he knew much better than Jingtai.

He had never heard of such a strange story, and if there were, why didn't he use this kind of power when he was the Spirit Emperor of the previous dynasty?

Yes, he had deep doubts in his heart, looked at Jingtai and asked in a condensed voice:

"The old man has heard of such things, Your Majesty might as well speak up."

As soon as he spoke, Li Qixiu and Gu Tianqiong also immediately restrained their smiles and looked at Jingtai with solemn eyes.

The emperor has the protection of the national fortune, and everyone knows about it, but it is only under the yang god, and there is no power to match the six realms.

"This matter is not unheard of, the former dynasty Chu Taizu had the power to use the national fortune, as for me, I can't reach its realm, but I can use external forces."

"Your Majesty, please speak up."

Looking at the more solemn look in Jingtai's eyes, Sima Che faintly had a bad premonition.

"Blood sacrifice for millions of living beings, relying on a strange treasure, so that the power of national fortune is added, although it is not immortal, but for the sake of the great Jin Dynasty to be eternal, I am willing to abandon everything!"

"Millions of Lives !!"

As soon as these words came out, the imperial study instantly fell into silence, and the needle drop could be heard.

Millions of living beings are not millions of livestock, they are fresh lives, at this time, there is harm to the heavens, once it spreads, the reputation of the Great Jin Dynasty will be completely ruined!

"Your Majesty think twice!" Li Hugh's brows furrowed.

"In addition to this, what might the Generalissimo teach me how to turn the tide? Those creatures are all the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I am extremely sorry in my heart, but."

Jingtai raised his head, and there seemed to be some sadness in his eyes.

"Okay, that's how it works!"

Sima Che took a deep breath, no matter what, he can't let the Great Jin Dynasty be in danger of overturning, the left and right are just some pariahs, and besides, it is only a million, compared to hundreds of millions of people in the world, it is just a drop in the bucket.

At most, in a hundred years, nature will multiply.

Compared with the Sima family, the people are dead when they die.

Gu Tianqiong frowned, but he didn't say anything, and even grabbed Li Qixiu, who wanted to continue to persuade, and shook his head at him.

Li Qixiu let out a sigh of relief and said no more.

"I invite the three of you to come here today, just for that strange treasure, this treasure is still in Shu, it is the family inheritance treasure of the painting saint Wu Daozi, I hope you can escort it back to the capital."

"Yes."

Sima Che nodded expressionlessly.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Your Majesty has other things, and the old minister is a little uncomfortable." Li said softly.

Jingtai's eyes narrowed, his mind turned, and he smiled:

"There are no other things, but I still want to tell Li Gong about one more thing."

"What?"

Jing Tai smiled without saying a word, and turned his gaze to Gu Tianqiong and Sima Che, the two of them naturally understood, and understood that it was the emperor who wanted to dispel the emotions in Li Qixiu's heart.

Then he got up and took his leave.

When the two of them left, Jingtai left the desk and walked to the side of Li Crazy.

"I wonder what else Your Majesty commands?"

Li Crazy Rest was a little puzzled.

"Li Gong, I heard that your little daughter has been practicing in the Taoist temple for many years, and her temperament is extraordinary, and now she is in turmoil, the court is turbulent, and the harem is not stable.

I hope to ask Li Gong for a family affair, marry Hongshuang to me, and make me a concubine, I don't know what Li Gong thinks? ”

The two pillars of the imperial court are basically loyal, Gu Tianqiong needless to say, as an old general of Taizu, his loyalty is unshakable, only the generalissimo is furious, so he can't rest assured.

He heard that Li Hongshuang had a relationship with Chen Yuan, and he had some relationship with Jiang Hezeng, the golden envoy of Qingzhou.

And marrying together can eliminate these hidden dangers.

After years of suppression, the Li family's power in the military has declined a lot, but he is still a protégé and an old official all over the world, and now he is back in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, he is really a little uneasy.

"This" Li Crazy Xiu instantly understood what Jingtai meant, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say anything when he looked at Jingtai's light smile.

"Why, Gong Li doesn't think I'm worthy of Red Frost?"

Jingtai asked with a smile.

"Naturally not, the old minister is just worried that the little girl has a bad temper, she is too willful, and she has collided with Your Majesty, it is better to "Li Yanxiu wanted to refuse, but before the words fell, he was interrupted by Jingtai.

"It's okay, I have a good temper and can tolerate everything, whether it's Red Frost Cultivation or anything else, I will agree to everything, and besides, I believe that Li Gong's daughter is naturally virtuous and virtuous!"

Jingtai said lightly.

"Your Majesty"

"Okay, let's settle this matter for the time being, tomorrow I will issue a letter of appointment, choose a good day and an auspicious day to marry Hongshuang into the palace, and then Li Gong will be my father-in-law."

A smile appeared on Jingtai's face.

Li Qixiu's frowning brows slowly calmed down, looked at Jingtai's expression, hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and saluted, and said:

"Wechen. Obey! ”

Regarding the things in the imperial study, Chen Yuan and Jiang He naturally didn't know, and they didn't know that Jiang He's fiancée was targeted by Jingtai because of his hard work.

However, they have a lot of speculation about Jingtai's reaction.

According to what Chen Yuan discovered, now that the imperial court is shrinking its strength across the board, it should be ready to give up half of the country and stick to the four states of the Central Plains to wait for the time.

There may be some other small means, but they are not as unpredictable as they are, and they can only judge after Jingtai makes a move.

What they are concerned about now is what is going on with them.

Yes, the Supreme Heavenly List has changed, and it is not small.

In the battle of Shushan, Chen Yuan and Jiang He shined, causing a lot of shock, coupled with the continuous accumulation of momentum in secret, the impact will naturally be greater.

Biyou Palace's head sect Zhao Danqing, holding immortal soldiers, did not take down the Terran traitor, and his strength could not be accurately judged by Dengxian Tower.

After the final measurement, it is still left as it is, and it is still the eleventh place on the Supreme Heavenly List.

The Shushan Sect True Monarch Ling Xuan True Monarch and the Demon Saint are inseparable, and because they are already in the top ten on the Supreme List, they have not changed, and they are still ranked eighth.

Qingxu Zhenjun did not kill the Demon Saint, it is difficult to judge, but it was listed in the thirtieth place, in the same way, the original Lord of the Sword Pavilion, and the current Chongxu Daoist is also ranked in the thirtieth place.

Basically nothing moved.

As for those demon clan powerhouses, they are not human races at all, and they will not be included in the heavenly list, and the black-robed true monarch who does not know his identity is not defeated in terms of strength and strength Zhao Danqing and the immortal soldiers, but they are suppressed.

In fact, the strength should also be able to rank in the top fifteen, but its impact is too bad, and it has been criticized by the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible to determine whether it is a human or a demon under the black robe, and in the end, Dengxian Lou still did not include it.

After confirming that it is indeed a Terran, it will still be boarded.

After all, Dengxian Lou looks at the battle record, not anything else.

And Jiang He's pseudonymous Heavenly Sword True Monarch, because he forcibly suppressed the great sage of the Azure Demon Bull Clan, and repelled the Demon Emperor Zhong with one sword, he was listed in the eighteenth place by Dengxian Tower, crushing Lu Guangsheng.

As for Chen Yuan, the progress is even greater.

With one enemy and two, he killed the demon saint, and then hit a demon saint hard, with an amazing record, and the ranking skyrocketed directly, overpowering the national teacher Puxian, and Shenwu Zhenjun was furious, and won the ranking of Feng Jiuge, the original goddess palace master.

Ranked twelfth on the heavenly list, the limelight is unrivaled for a while!
