In fact, the requirements of the people are very simple,

Having enough to eat, warm clothes, and a place to live, this can make most people satisfied,

But if there is nothing to eat and no place to live, many people will take risks.

In order to live, to live for his wife, children and mother.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat.

In the capital, the snow is falling,

Some starved to death, froze to death, and were homeless, selling their sons and daughters for a bite to eat.

Some people drink in the pool and meat forest, and sing every night,

The way of the world is such a way of the world, how can there be any fairness and benevolence.

In this way, it is impossible to expect the people to abide by the law and respect the teachings.

For the sake of law and order, strict laws were immediately implemented in the capital.

In the capital, anyone who steals, with ten taels as the boundary, less than ten taels, is caught and cut off his hands, more than ten taels, killed!

Those who provoke trouble in the street shall be punished with two hundred rods.

With these two hundred sticks, a tiger can be beaten and can't get up, and ordinary people are one result - death.

Those who dare to slander the court, discuss the government indiscriminately, and cut off their tongues.

Armed robbers, slash!

……

The activities of the internal guard of the Hundred Horsemen Division have never been more frequent.

For a time, the capital was in turmoil!

It was not only the common people who were afraid, but also the ministers of the court.

In less than a month, the emperor had already beheaded forty-two officials of all sizes in the capital. On average, at least one minister is beheaded every day.

So much so that some officials took the initiative to resign and return to their hometowns.

They are officials in the capital for the future, for the glory and wealth, but not for the sake of trembling and losing their lives.

It's a pity that some officials of Zhishi have not been able to return to their hometowns and meet their fellow villagers at all.

Not long after they left the capital, they were robbed and killed by a group of men in black.

The criminal department of the imperial court, the internal guard of the Hundred Cavalry Division, investigated for several days, but there were no clues at all.

The capital Qin Tianjian, stargazing platform.

The wind was bitterly cold, and the snowflakes swirled and drifted over, and when they got closer, they were blocked by an invisible barrier.

A middle-aged Taoist in a Taoist robe drank tea on it.

"Oops."

With a few sighs, an old man in a purple robe with a white beard went up to the stargazing platform.

"This place is too high, too."

The old man sat down and gasped for air. The man poured him a cup of tea.

"You watch the heavens here every day, have you ever seen when the snow will stop? The snow fell for ten days in a row, and the snow in the capital was nearly three feet, and more than 1,000 people froze to death every day. ”

"It will be ten days away."

"Ten more days? At least half of the people in the capital will die. What about Guanzhong near here, how many people should die? ”

"This is providence." The Taoist said calmly.

"Providence? Oops, it's these two words again, God doesn't let the people live, and the people will rebel! The old man sighed.

"Today, there's an excerpt down there, guess what?"

"I have never been involved in the political affairs of the court."

"I know, I said, you listen, it is rumored in southern Yunnan that there is purple qi flourishing in Rongcheng, and the qi is like a dragon and a tiger. Only two of the Hundred Cavalry Division's internal guards who went to investigate survived and returned. ”

The Taoist on the side had a calm face and drank tea as usual.

"That is the younger brother of the Holy One today!" The old man took a sip of tea and calmed down.

"Aren't you afraid of being on that god list?" He stared at the Taoist sitting in front of him.

"Your Majesty will let me go up, and I will go up." The Taoist said calmly.

"Yo, you can see it." The purple-robed old man said with a smile after hearing this.

"Seeing that the New Year is approaching, Your Majesty has issued an order to let those princes who are in various places return to Beijing for reunion."

"That's Your Majesty's family business."

"But I don't think those princes will come back, if they don't come, hey"

A golden-winged eagle landed on the stone shelf next to the observatory, looking a little tired.

"This snow covered at least 2,000 miles." The man stared at the golden-winged eagle.

"Two thousand miles? How many people would have to die! The old man on the side sighed.

The Taoist held the teacup and looked at the snowflakes that were still falling.

"Can't you cast a spell to stop this snow?"

"Two thousand miles of heavy snow, how much magic power can make this snow stop, even the legendary Buddha and Tianzun are afraid that they don't have such mana, right?"

The Taoist's tone was very calm throughout. It seems that the political affairs of the imperial court and the life and death of the people in the world really have nothing to do with him.

"Well, at my age, I don't know how long I can live." The old man sighed again.

"Coming here again to trick me?" The Taoist poured a cup of tea for the old man.

"The heavens are chaotic, the qi is also chaotic, and the only thing that remains unchanged is that everything between heaven and earth is changing all the time." The Taoist looked at the heavy snow outside.

"The way of heaven is not subject to the will of man. You can only conform to it, not disobey it. ”

Well, the old man looked up at the sky.

"However, isn't cultivation itself a practice that goes against the sky?"

"The way of heaven is not that cultivation is not allowed, but it depends on how to practice, not to mention that there is also the heavenly tribulation, and the heavenly tribulation itself is a test of cultivation."

"The alien troops in northern Xinjiang entered the customs and plundered, breaking three cities in a row, and the excerpts of the disaster reports reported below were one after another."

"It's useless to tell me this." The man said calmly.

"Complaining to you, some things can only be said to you, I don't dare to say that to others, for fear of being invited to tea by the internal guards, and there will be no tongue when I come out."

"When you are the prime minister, who dares to invite you to tea?" The Taoist said with a smile.

"That's hard to say!" The old man smiled and waved his hand.

"What's next?"

"Another day, it's time for you to go." Humane.

As soon as he finished saying this, a bell rang outside.

The old man's expression changed greatly after hearing this, the bell came from the palace, and when the bell rang at this time, something must have happened!

The old man left in a hurry.

Pulala,

As soon as the old man left, the golden-winged eagle standing on the stone frame flapped its wings a few times and landed on the ground, and then the spiritual light on his body shone brightly, and it became bigger in an instant.

After a while, he turned into a person, a distracted and handsome young man.

"Master."

"How?"

The disciple searched along the way according to the master's instructions, but did not find any trace of that person, and there was indeed a vision from heaven on the side of West Kunlun.

Rumor has it that someone once saw a golden gate in the clouds in mid-air. ”

"Heaven's Gate?" The Taoist was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"It's been hard all the way, let's go down and rest."

"The disciple retired."

The disciple left, and only the Taoist was left on the stargazing platform, standing here alone, looking at the heavy snow outside.

In the palace of the capital,

On the dragon chair, when today's son wears a crown on his head and wears a dragon robe, he is high on the top, looking down at the important ministers below.

The courtiers on both sides did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere.

"Yan Qing." The emperor on the dragon chair spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received the news that the king of Zhennan sealed the territory and set himself up as the king, and named it the Dian Kingdom."

As soon as these words came out, the aura in the entire hall instantly stopped.

No one spoke, no one moved, and one by one seemed to be deaf and dumb.

Although I knew that this would happen sooner or later, I decided to be shocked when I heard it now.

"Dian Kingdom, this name is good, he wants to subvert the imperial power, he wants to subvert Dayong!"

No one took the initiative to speak, and Xiao Guang, who was high above, stared at the courtiers below.

"Xu Aiqing?"

"Back to the emperor, what the king of Zhennan did was really rebellious, and the heavens were intolerable, and he should have sent troops to levy it, but he held the military power of a state.

If you want to send troops to suppress it, you need to send troops from Jingzhou or Liangzhou, and you need the cooperation of the two princes of Liang and Chu.

It is also necessary to mobilize grain and grass, and it is necessary for the household department to allocate money and grain. The military department Shangshu came out and said.

At this time, among the ministers on both sides, an official in a purple robe frowned, and sweat was on his forehead.

As he spoke, the soldier carefully observed the reaction of the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

I saw Xiao Guang sitting on it, not moving, like a statue.

The military department Shangshu soon stopped reporting.

He knew very well that in this situation, the military department was simply unable to send troops to encircle and suppress it.

How can you fight a war without money and food?

What's more, it's winter, it's icy and snowy, it's not appropriate to send troops out from Guanzhong, but send troops from Liangzhou and Jingzhou, will the two princes listen?

At the end of the day, it's just an internal matter for their royal family.

Xiao Guang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, waved his hand, and the military department Shangshu hurriedly retreated, secretly relieved.

This level is passed.

For a time, there was silence in the hall. No one knew what the emperor was thinking when he sat on the dragon chair.

The world is in chaos, and it is not a day before it is chaotic, and the general trend of the world is not something that these people can control.

Xiao Guang sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the courtiers below.

These are all chess pieces, chess pieces in his hands, at his mercy. Life and death were just a thought of him.

He is the emperor of Dayong and a chess player, using heaven and earth as a chessboard and all things as chess pieces.

His opponent is the sky!

"Order the king of Chu to quell the rebellion, the household department will allocate silver taels, and Zhan Wushuang will stay."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

retreat,

The eunuch shouted, and the ministers lined up and left the hall.

Tobe Shangshu and the two squires had deathly expressions on their faces.

"The household department allocates silver taels, how can there be silver taels? Isn't that killing them? ”

After leaving the main hall and returning to the household, the three of them gathered together.

"My lord, the household is now an empty shell, and there is no money and food to call it in!" The right attendant said anxiously.

"Isn't it, this successive years of floods and droughts, the household department has to contribute money and grain for disaster relief, and the frontier is also unstable, and the war has been fought year after year.

In recent years, the grain harvest has been insufficient, and this only can not get in and out, and this year there has been a snowstorm, and the household department can only go in and out, and there is really no money and food. ”

"Of course I know, but Your Majesty has spoken, we have to find a way, the last time I disobeyed the holy will in the court, it was Hong Yushi,

His grave should be overgrown with weeds now, do you want to learn from him? ”

"But, where does your money come from?"

"Are there any vacancies down there?"

"It's been sold out a long time ago, and the official positions in ten years are all sold out!"

……

The royal palace, in the main hall,

There were only three people left, Emperor Xiao Guang, an old eunuch, and a military general in armor.

"Chengbo, go to southern Yunnan and bring Xiao Ren's head back."

"Go to Wanbao Pavilion, you can pick any magic weapon."

"Yes."

The man in armor turned to leave.

Xiao Guang's fingers tapped lightly on the dragon chair.

"You say, what will Xiao Ren's reaction be when he sees him?"

"Well, I guess I'm surprised, right?"

"Know what to do?"

"The old slave will arrange it, and he will definitely let them know the news at the right time and surprise them."

Xiao Guang waved his hand, and the old eunuch turned to leave. In the vast hall, Xiao Guang sat alone on the dragon chair.

A real loner,

Thousands of miles away, in the middle of Qinchuan, there are also snowflakes in the sky, which are not big, and they are disturbed.

In the cave, the five-colored divine light flows,

Wang Zhe silently comprehended the mystery contained in the innate five elements, and reinvigorated each other.

Heaven and earth are almost all in the five elements,

He opened a door and saw a whole new world, and he was able to swim in it and explore the excitement of the time.

Gold, profit and strength, can become King Kong is not bad,

Wood, vibrant, flowers bloom instantly,

Water, nourishing all things,

Fire, burning, destroying, illuminating the four directions,

Earth, the earth bears everything,

In the past, Erlang Zhenjun practiced eight or nine Xuangong, and realized all kinds of wonderful methods from it, seventy-two changes, King Kong is not bad, the original spirit is out of the body, and the incarnation outside the body is in it.

At this time, Wang Zhe also realized all kinds of wonderful uses from this innate five elements supernatural power.

He even had a feeling that he could use this innate five elements to exert a considerable part of the thirty-six Heavenly Gang supernatural powers.

Shaking the mountains and shaking the earth,

Dividing the river into land,

Five Elements Escape,

Dividing the river into land,

Refers to the ground into steel

In time, it seemed that he could do all of this if he wanted to.

With the congenital and the acquired, with the five elements to transform all things,

Wang Zhe sat in the cave and forgot the time outside the mountain.

Day and night to comprehend the wonderful law,

No matter what spring is outside and autumn and winter,

On this day, with a pop, a man fell from the sky, dressed in armor and covered in blood.

Hearing the voice, Rifty stepped forward to take a look, raised his paw and scratched his face twice, and the man passed out without the slightest reaction.

At this time, it was raining in the sky, but it fell on this man's body and became ice, and soon he became an ice sculpture.

Laifu looked at the man, then turned his head to look at the cave that emitted a multicolored divine light, thought for a while, and decided not to care whether the person lived or died.

There was a return to the mouth of the cave lying on his stomach.

It rained for a day, and the man was frozen straight into an ice lump.

Suddenly, a ray of light floated out of the cave, like a stream of fire, and fell on the frozen man's body, and after a little leaning, the ice on the man's body melted.

Another blue light flew out of the cave and sank into his body.

After a few moments, the man's fingers moved, and he woke up,

Got up, looked up, looked around, looked at the earth dog in front of him, and looked at Wang Zhe who came out of the cave,

He didn't speak, he just sat there dumbfounded, as if he was stupid.

Wow, Laifu doesn't seem to be happy.

As soon as Wang Zhe saw him like this, he knew that he must have been strongly stimulated.

I didn't persuade him, I didn't care about him, I just let him stay outside,

This stay is three days of work, sitting there, like a stone carving,

"It's not a solution for you to sit in a daze like this, you can't solve the problem."

The man glanced up at Wang Zhe and lowered his head again.

"I killed my father!"
