"I'm curious, with your strength, why aren't you pursuing Ascension? Rather, it's about pursuing power? ”

Emperor Chongming's eyes revealed a trace of doubt.

If he was still younger, he would definitely want to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts, in order to seek to ascend to the upper realm and live forever.

No matter how good the glory and wealth of the mortal world is, can it compare to the temptation of immortality?

Sun Jue smiled: "Actually, I don't have much obsession with being an emperor or something. ”

"Being an emperor is just a practice in my life."

"As for why you don't pursue flying through the sky and living forever, it's naturally because of danger."

"You should have heard it that day, the act of ascension is nine deaths, maybe something will happen."

"In the face of such a situation, I naturally want to accumulate strength."

In a world where such great power is attributed to itself, it is absolutely not wrong to pursue force.

And no matter what danger there is in Ascension, as long as the strength is strong enough, then no matter what, you can calmly deal with it.

The self-created exercises that Sun Jue is practicing now are incorporating the essence of the king's power and the emperor's imperial mountains and rivers, so they can also absorb the wishes of sentient beings and use them for cultivation.

In this way, once he can rule Shenzhou, for him, this help will definitely be huge.

For dealing with danger, Sun Jue will be able to have a greater grasp.

In fact, Sun Jue had secretly made up his mind, even if he cultivated his soul, mana, and physical body to the extreme of this realm, he would not easily soar.

He will learn from the sweeping monks, seal himself, and continue to stay in this realm, accumulating enough strength to survive the unknown calamity.

Emperor Chongming suddenly realized: "No wonder, this is indeed a good method." ”

As soon as he thought of this, Emperor Chongming had greater ambitions in his heart.

Sun Jue will have to leave sooner or later, and if he can pick the fruits of victory after Sun Jue leaves, he may not be able to go further and soar to the upper realm.

And with Sun Jue in front of him to clear mines, he may not encounter any danger.

"In that case, I'll help you, and I don't have much to do with this old bone anyway."

Emperor Chongming had a hearty smile on his face, and he looked like I had made a sacrifice for you.

Sun Jue doesn't care what thoughts he thinks in his heart or what calculations he has, as long as Emperor Chongming agrees, it will be a good thing.

"Then thank you, after the matter is completed, I will definitely fulfill my promise, if I violate this oath, I will not be able to advance an inch of martial arts in this life."

Although no matter whether Sun Jue swears or not, Emperor Chongming intends to help Sun Jue, because this is originally to help himself.

But seeing Sun Jue so sincere, Emperor Chongming still felt a lot more comfortable in his heart.

"Brother Sun is serious, can't I believe you?"

Emperor Chongming laughed, "If you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge, then you can do it when you are in Shaolin Temple, and even now you can come directly to the hard, I am still very relieved of Brother Sun's character, there is no need to make such a poisonous oath." ”

This is also the heart of Emperor Chongming.

He has seen Sun Jue's great might, so many masters of the divine body realm, under Sun Jue's hands, there is no power to fight back, and his strength is really terrifying.

Even if Sun Jue wants to be strong, he can't resist.

Even the Shaolin Temple has a secret method of degree, and Emperor Chongming does not believe that Sun Jue, who inherited most of the inheritance of the Shaolin Temple, will not understand this secret method.

Cooperating with Sun Jue, that is a combination of two benefits, and a division is his own sin.

Even if there are no other promises, Emperor Chongming will also agree, but it is impossible to have any enthusiasm or anything like that.

Sun Jue smiled: "With Mr. Chongming's cooperation, then our plan will become more than half." ”

For other forces, even if they have the support of Emperor Chongming and play his banner, it is not of much use, but they will be suppressed by the only remaining forces in the imperial court.

But for the beggars, they are numerous and with a little training, they are a huge army.

In addition, after playing the banner of Emperor Chongming, they can justifiably capture the states and counties, and then step by step take Shenzhou into their palms.

In this process, Sun Jue's strength will become stronger and stronger until he accumulates enough strength.

In fact, Sun Jue's struggle for the position of emperor is not only for the will of all beings, but also for the humane dragon spirit.

At the beginning, Sun Jue's original intention was just to experience this kind of life.

After all, only when you have it can you say let go, this is also a kind of practice, but it is the heart that is cultivated.

No matter how strong the strength is, it also needs to match the state of mind to control, otherwise it may end up endangering yourself.

Taoism and Buddhism pay attention to birth and entry into the world, which is the truth.

The so-called red dust refining the heart, if you don't have a crawl in this world and experience the flavors of the world, how can you strengthen a heart to the Tao?

Of course, this kind of thing, Sun Jue will not tell others if it is not necessary.

Emperor Chongming and Sun Jue looked at each other and smiled, and began to discuss the next plan.

In fact, Sun Jue had discussed this plan with Guo Changqing before.

And Emperor Chongming is a key part of it.

"We will spend some time to publicize what happened to you, Mr. Chongming, so that when we support you later, it will be justified."

"And with your chess piece, then we can directly swallow both Bazhou and Yangzhou, and then spend some time integrating the resources of the two states."

"At the same time, it is also to arrange manpower to firmly grasp the power of the two places."

"Based on this, we can attack Yunzhou and Yuzhou, gradually expand our territory, and finally swallow Shenzhou and establish a new dynasty."

Emperor Chongming nodded.

After all, he was an emperor, and he still has vision and insight.

There's nothing impressive about this plan, but if it can be done, the foundation will be very strong.

"When Yunzhou, Yuzhou, and Leizhou are all taken, and the five states are connected, that is the real foundation, and then my decoration will be dispensable."

"At this time, I can just give you the position Zen, after all, I am already old."

"As for whether it can be done in the future, it's up to you."

Emperor Chongming knew his worth very well.

He is also very aware of his own weight.

Be more aware of your position.

He is just a signboard in the early stage, if he is greedy for power and refuses to go down, then he will only end up with a dead end.

Unless he has the strength to rival Sun Jue.

To be honest, in the eyes of Emperor Chongming, as long as Sun Jue is not stupid, then the world is basically Sun Jue's bag.

After all, what if there are other forces that develop?

All it takes is a decapitation tactic, and the enemy's forces will collapse in an instant.

And as long as Sun Jue can know how to make good use of people and manage the territory under his command well, it is basically invincible, unless the other party also has a monster that rivals Sun Jue.

Sun Jue didn't expect that Emperor Chongming would be so knowledgeable, which really surprised him.

The position of the emperor, for the vast majority of people, is a position that is difficult to refuse.

This position represents being above thousands of people, deciding the life and death of countless people, and having great power.

Even if Emperor Chongming was the emperor before, he shouldn't be so unreasonable.

But the facts are right in front of him, and it's hard for Sun Jue to believe it or not.

"Mr. Chongming, don't worry, I will never let you down."

Sun Jue said solemnly.

Since Emperor Chongming said so, there is no need for him to hide it.

"That's good."

Emperor Chongming patted Sun Jue on the shoulder, "If there is anything after that, you tell me directly." ”

For Emperor Chongming, he wished that Sun Jue would take Shenzhou under his control now, so that he could also benefit.

"Thank you, Mr. Chongming."

Sun Jue clenched his fists and a smile appeared on his face.

……

In the next few days, Sun Jue first publicized the news related to Emperor Chongming through the remaining channels of the beggar gang.

Then he took Emperor Chongming to subdue the martial arts sects such as Mingxin Jianzhai and Qingfeng Sword Sect, as well as the government of Bazhou.

This was the first step of Sun Jue's previous plan, to unify Bazhou first, and then Yangzhou.

And after subduing Mingxin Jianzhai and other sects, it will be much easier to deal with the government of Bazhou.

Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons

The power of the government is certainly quite strong.

But for a local snake like Mingxin Jianzhai, that's it.

Whether it is the county government or the county government, they all have the tentacles of the local snakes, and every move of the local snakes can affect the entire Bazhou.

In the same way, it is much easier to take down these land snakes first, and then to take the entire Bazhou into the palm of your hand.

Officials may have been transferred from other places.

But whether it is the county government or the small officials in the county government, they are all locals, and many of them are passed down from generation to generation.

In this way, the ability of the head snake is also clear.

Whether it is the official face or the martial arts, they are all in a dead place.

In the case that almost everyone in other states did not react, Bazhou completed the unification from the official face and martial arts.

At this time, the entire Bazhou was in the hands of Sun Jue.

After that, without waiting for Bazhou to stabilize, Sun Jue led people to raid Yangzhou, and Lu Shiyuan was directly killed.

In this way, it is also very easy for Yangzhou to be brought under control.

When many Yangzhou forces had not yet reacted, they directly brought most of Yangzhou into control.

After that, there is the division and co-optation of various forces, and the most important thing.

Under the gaze of many people, on the high platform, Emperor Chongming appeared in the eyes of everyone wearing a bright yellow gown and a crown.

Sun Jue then also ascended the high platform.

Compared with Emperor Chongming, who had little reputation before, Sun Jue can be said to be known to everyone in Yangzhou.

Almost no one doesn't know Sun Jue.

It can be seen from the cheers after Sun Jue took the stage.

"Everyone can come today, it is really to give my grandson someone's face, thank you for coming."

"I'm sure you've guessed the identity of the person next to me."

Sun Jue's eyes swept over the audience, and then said with a smile: "That's right, this is Emperor Chongming, that is, an old father who was persecuted by Emperor Yongchang." ”

"When the world is in turmoil, His Majesty Chongming is willing to rebuild mountains and rivers for the sake of the common people in the world, so that the people of the world can live a happy and healthy life."

When Sun Jue's words fell, whether it was a high-ranking official or a person at the helm of the martial arts sect, the audience applauded very face-saving.

After that, Emperor Chongming made a speech and looked forward.

In this way, the banner of Emperor Chongming was erected.

Because it has just recovered Yangzhou, there is no big move, and it is more of an internal governance problem.

Fortunately, Yangzhou has just experienced the war, and after getting rid of Lu Shiyuan and a group of others, it is easy to clean up the situation.

And with the reputation of orthodoxy, coupled with the spread of the Shaolin Temple, many talents have come to take refuge.

In the eyes of many people, with orthodoxy, fame, and strength, this side of the force is still very promising.

The only disadvantage is probably that the geographical location is average, Bazhou and Yangzhou are not big states, and the economic level is average.

But three months later, everyone was impressed with this side of the force.

In just ten days, Yunzhou and Leizhou, which connect Yangzhou and Bazhou, were smoothly taken over.

Among them, there is not only the resistance of the martial arts sects and governments in various places, but also the resistance of various so-called rebels and the forces behind them.

It's just that in front of an army of 100,000 and a master like Sun Jue, it is not used at all.

Those who dare to resist will be killed, no matter who it is, they will be treated equally, only based on ability.

After another three days, Yuzhou, where the Shaolin Temple was originally located, also fell under control.

The Chongming Army, which owns the land of five states, suddenly has a great rise in prestige, and it is really believed to have the ability to recreate the world.

After occupying these five states, the Chongming army did not continue to expand wantonly, and they needed time to digest the results.

At the same time, the Zen ceremony is also quietly preparing, and when the five states are stabilized, the handover will begin, so that Sun Jue can officially step onto the stage of history.

"The Imperial Capital sent someone?"

When Emperor Chongming heard the news, he felt a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was normal.

After all, he knows very well about the urine nature of those people.

Now in the imperial capital, there is basically the last bit of territory left.

In such a situation, those who don't want to be buried with them naturally have to find a way back.

And taking refuge in Emperor Chongming, the "former emperor", is obviously a good choice.

Not only is it powerful, but at the same time, it is not ashamed to take refuge in the "former emperor".

was originally a courtier, and it was nothing to go back again.

It's just that Emperor Yongchang has obviously become an outcast.

Emperor Chongming glanced at Sun Jue next to him and asked, "Do you want to see him?" ”

Emperor Chongming knew very well that he was a puppet on the surface, and he did not have the slightest idea of fighting for power and profit, so he was very cooperative.

This made Sun Jue a little embarrassed.

After all, this tool person is not only conscious, but also has high work efficiency, and also understands his own catties.

can be selected for the best tool person award.

"Call over and listen to it, and see what those people think, if it's interesting, then we can do less trouble."

"But if it's not interesting...... Hehe......"
