Chapter 22: Is It Him?
The Tianqian Kingdom has a history of nearly 400 years, and during these years, although there are very few monarchs who are not very careful, most of the others can be regarded as hard work.
The current monarch's name is Han Fengtian, which means that he is the king by the order of heaven, originally Han Fengtian was not the prince, but only the second prince, at that time he was obsessed with martial arts and had always been concerned about political affairs.
But helplessly, the prince at that time, that is, his eldest brother, actually caused a disaster and was removed from the position of prince, and the other princes saw that there was such an opportunity, and they all circled around the emperor every day like the peacock who opened the screen, but he was unmoved, and he was still a refined martial arts cultivator who could not be touched every day, and was promoted to a grandmaster-level master of the martial arts six heavens at the age of less than thirty.
It is also because of his persistence and calm temperament, as well as his incomparably strong strength, that he stood out from many princes, became the prince of the East Palace, and finally ascended to the position of the Ninety-Five Honor, which represents the ultimate power in the world.
Now it is the twenty-third year of Han Fengtian's reign, and he has also stepped from the original martial arts six heavens to the martial arts seven heavens, and he can be regarded as truly stepping into the top masters.
Over the years, his favorite thing to do is to drive the expedition in person, and it is also with that brave and good fight, and the courage of the first soldier, so that his prestige in the Tianqian Kingdom is far better than that of the previous monarchs, and there are even many kneeling people who compare him with the founding saint.
Although he is obsessed with martial arts, since he succeeded to the throne, he has been diligent in government affairs, even Meng Fuzi, who is known for his strictness, rarely said anything, except for his temper, Han Fengtian can be regarded as a generation of Ming Jun.
It's a pity that when he was in office, he encountered such a once-in-a-century drought.
The drought, which lasted for almost two years, left the entire country starving to death, and the people were struggling to make a living. The Xia Yuan Kingdom and the Qingque Kingdom next to them also took advantage of this opportunity to encourage the surrounding small countries to plunder, and even sent troops to attack the border fortresses.
The applications for disaster relief sent from all over the country were like snowflakes, and he even took out his own private treasury to make up for it, but it was still far from enough.
The country of Tianqian is too big, and how can it be filled with billions of people.
Fortunately, some time ago, there was good news, it is said that in a small town called Qingyun Town, there is a young man named Mo Yu who invented a waterwheel, which can assist in taking water for irrigation, and it is said that the effect is not bad, but it must be in a place where there is a river.
Although it can't solve the fundamental problem, it's at least much better than the guys who know every day that they are intriguing at the court meeting.
"Your Majesty, Duke Wei and the Third Prince asked to see him, saying that there is important information."
At this moment, a father-in-law in a crimson palace robe trotted all the way to his side and whispered.
"Well, let them come." Han Fengtian put down the fold in his hand, and the pile on this table was full of applications for treasury appropriation for disaster relief, and he was about to recite it every day.
"Xuanwei Gongjin sees ......"
"The third prince of Xuan, Jin meets ......"
The slightly harsh voice of the father-in-law passed all the way.
After a while, Wei Wudi took the third prince Han Chengyan to the imperial study and saluted.
"Humble greetings to Your Majesty."
"The child has seen his father."
Han Fengtian nodded lightly and said, "Excuse me, give a seat." ”
"Your Majesty, you don't have to sit down, I came here this time to send an intelligence from Xia Yuanguo, and I ask Your Majesty to take a look." Wei Wudi is also a person who doesn't like red tape, so he immediately took out the information and handed it to the father-in-law next to him.
This is not the original text, but what he translated based on the ciphertext in the original text.
Han Fengtian took the information and looked at it carefully, but the content in it made him more and more frightened the more he read it, and after reading the content in just a few hundred words, his momentum as a martial arts sevenfold heaven great master suddenly exploded.
The entire imperial study was filled with his extreme killing intent, the table in front of him was lifted a few meters away, and the folds were scattered all over the ground, even the purple clay pot that he usually liked was smashed and he didn't care, he only had this information in his eyes now, and the content on it.
"Gong Wei, personally Qi, after investigation, it has been determined that the drought is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. Xia Yuanguo united with Qingque Kingdom to find the ancient wonder armillary sphere, and borrowed the energy of the armillary sphere to send a great drought to Tianqian, and the specific operation is unknown. Now that the two countries have reached an agreement, they want to promote the dispute over the ranking of the nine major sects, although they are ranked, they actually want to kill the elite of the various sects in our Tianqian. Fearing that the heavens would not be dry, the two countries planned to present the armillary sphere as a reward for the eventual winner, and the matter was conspired and decreed by the two countries, and it will be announced in the near future, hoping to prepare in advance and fall into the trap by mistake. ”
"Is the intelligence reliable? So what exactly is an armillary sphere? Han Fengtian gradually calmed down after making a fire, he believed that Wei Wudi would not just come with that inexplicable piece of information, but he still couldn't help but ask.
The old god Wei Wushu was there, and said slowly: "The armillary sphere does have something, but it is all owned by the Divine Capital Kingdom thousands of years ago, and it is recorded in ancient books that it does have the ability to confuse the heavens, but it has disappeared for thousands of years, and now it suddenly appears, and before it is verified, I dare not assert it." ”
Anyway, it means that this thing did exist before, but now the information is accurate, which is another story.
Han Fengtian also knew that he shouldn't ask this, and he was just dizzy from anger, and asked again, "What does Duke Wei think?" ”
"The first person to come into contact with the information was Su Miaomiao, the girl of the Su family, I brought the person here, Your Majesty might as well let her come over first and carefully state what happened." Wei Wudi said.
"Okay, let's announce her here." Han Fengtian glanced at his father-in-law, who understood it and walked out immediately.
"Xuansu Miao Miao Jin See ......"
Soon, Su Miaomiao, who was pale, stepped into the door of the imperial study and saluted one after another.
"See Your Majesty, the Third Prince, Duke Wei."
"What's wrong with your injuries?" Han Fengtian could see at once that Su Miaomiao had suffered a lot of injuries, and it was a new injury, and it was no more than two hours before and after.
"Ahem...... cough cough" Su Miaomiao had just saluted and touched the wound, coughed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, when I and the Qingling Mountain Lord Lingxuzi came back from sending information all the way, we encountered several ambushes, just in front of the headquarters of the Night Division, we relaxed our vigilance, but we were ambushed, fortunately, Wei Gong made a timely move, otherwise the information might have been snatched away by the other party." ”
"Why is it involved in Qingling Mountain again, you tell the story of the matter in detail, and you can't hide it in the slightest." Han Fengtian sat back down, and then glanced at the housekeeper's father-in-law.
The other party moved a chair and asked Su Miaomiao to sit down, after all, she was injured.
"Your Majesty, here's how it happened......"
Su Miaomiao told everyone present about her experience from obtaining information, to leaving Xia Yuan Kingdom, to returning to the imperial city all the way.
"Mo Yu? This name sounds familiar, huh? Han Fengtian muttered, but he didn't remember who it was for a while.
The steward's father-in-law quietly walked to his side, lowered his body and said, "Your Majesty, Qingling Mountain is not far from Qingyun Town, since he is of the same age, it is very likely that it is Mo Yu who built the water wheel." ”
Listening to the reminder of the father-in-law in charge, Han Fengtian remembered it instantly.
It turned out to be him......
