Chapter 89: Chen Shaofeng's Little Secret
In the Jingshi Imperial Court, all the children of the royal family have the power to support the doormen, and the doormen under their command will be granted a certain amount of real power.
Having power, but not being corrupted by official influence, is a dream for most cultivators.
Because with his power, he can easily obtain a large number of cultivation resources, and even enter the blessed land to practice, which is not a difficult thing.
However, 6,000 years ago, there was a rebellion against practitioners.
At that time, the imperial court did not have much defense against cultivators, and even local officials could give cultivators certain powers and positions.
With the joint efforts of cultivators and the government, the dark age of 10,000 years ago passed quickly, and whether it was the immortal cultivation realm, the government, or the mortal side, they all had sufficient development.
The Great Qian Dynasty has also entered the stage of prosperity.
The situation of other dynasties is roughly the same, except for the barren land in the west of Shenzhou, the Red Dragon Dynasty, because of the scarcity of cultivation resources, it is also backed by a million demon mountains, so the cultivators are not in the majority.
Even the cultivators of the Red Dragon Dynasty mostly practiced some methods that were quickly similar to the outer paths.
Because over there, in the long-term confrontation with the demon clan, death happened too quickly, and the life span of a cultivator was meaningless over there.
The Red Dragon Dynasty, where wars broke out almost every day, and the whole country was like an army.
And the Million Demon Mountain is the last habitat of the demon clan, it is said that in the deepest part of the Million Demon Mountain, there are ancient demon gods sleeping, even if the human race dominates Shenzhou, they don't want to provoke.
It may be that the so-called demon god is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and he has even died a long time ago, but there are thousands of human race gods with great power, and they have formed teams to investigate.
The last one didn't come back, and all the natal cards were broken, which means that there is no life left.
In the end, a death confrontation between the Red Dragon Dynasty and the Million Demon Mountain was formed.
The Shenzhou Continent seems to be a situation where the Three Kingdoms are in full power, but the Great Qian Dynasty, as well as the Great Zhou Dynasty next door, will send a large amount of cultivation resources every year to supply the Red Dragon Dynasty.
In order to let it have enough resources to fight against the Million Demon Mountain.
Whenever there is a demon tide, a large army will be sent to help resist.
And the reason why it is so friendly is that the two dynasties rebelled seven thousand years ago, and it all depended on the Red Dragon Dynasty to send troops to help, otherwise it would have changed its course long ago.
Because of the problem of longevity, the cultivators who choose to be in the court are constantly controlling the power, even the emperor has changed for several generations, and the former cultivators are still alive and well.
This led to a large number of cultivators, flooding the court and setting up the emperor.
With a long lifespan, even if there is a Tianjiao who is a human cultivator, he will soon be brutally suppressed.
When power accumulates to a certain extent, greed and ambition cannot be satisfied.
The cultivators of Da Qian and Da Zhou joined forces, and a large number of members of the royal family were slaughtered and almost withered.
The imperial dynasty generation was on the waning stage at that time, and it was about to be lonely.
And the new era is naturally the generation of the sect.
However, the Red Dragon Dynasty sent 20 million troops, each with tens of millions of troops, and flocked to the capital divisions of the two major dynasties.
The remnants of the royal family relied on the power of awakening the dragon veins to recover the Jingshi and sweep away all the rebellious cultivators in the Jingshi.
Of course, at that time, it no longer matters whether they are rebellious cultivators or not, but all the immortal species that cultivate, whether they are righteous or demonic, will be purged.
And then it was a chaotic scene.
On the cultivators' side, even those who did not participate in the rebellion were forced to join the camp, and a large amount of territory was exhausted, and a great war broke out between the imperial court and the cultivation world.
This fight is 800 years of time.
Immortal cultivators found that it was difficult to achieve victory in a head-on confrontation, because it only took a few years for mortals to join the army and be able to form combat power.
And even for a foundation-building practitioner, it takes more than ten years to do the routine.
Then there is the fact that although there is an alliance in the cultivation world, but
After all, they are all independent sects, and there are many internal contradictions, and it is difficult to completely screw the forces together.
The last shocking decision was established.
A large number of cultivators, with their supernatural powers, began to attack the mortals of the Imperial Dynasty.
How terrifying is the power of a god-transforming realm, when he completely unshackles and attacks mortals?
The city of hundreds of thousands of people only needs a supernatural power, and in an instant, all mortals are shattered.
And more of it is the evil demon outer way, using mortal flesh and blood gods and souls for sacrifice.
During that time, the world withered, and many villages did not even appear as living creatures overnight.
Cultivators who disguise themselves are simply unable to guard against it.
And it was under that circumstance that the Great Imperial Array began to be established.
Just to protect the mortals living in the city, but in the wild, there is no way.
The population of Qingzhou County is so concentrated and vast, and even the capital city and county seat are concentrated together.
It is because of the legacy of this historical problem.
After that, it was naturally the defeat of the sect, but at that time, it was already completely red-eyed.
The final turning point of the matter was the demon tide of the Million Demon Mountain, tens of thousands of demon clans sprung up like a tide, and the Red Dragon Dynasty had already lost one-third of its territory in just a few years.
Under the coercion of the demon clan of external forces, the human race had to unite again.
Because once the Red Dragon Dynasty is defeated, the entire land of Shenzhou will completely fall into the paradise of the demon clan.
In the final ending, naturally, the demon clan was forced back to the Million Demon Mountain, but the Red Dragon Dynasty still lost one-tenth of its territory and became the territory of the demon clan.
Seven thousand years have passed, and even if the longevity is a long immortal cultivator, almost all of them have turned into a cup of loess.
Even the remnants of some old antiques are in a state of half-life and half-death in an endless sleep.
Today's Daqian Dynasty still can still give cultivators false positions, and they also have real power, but this right to confer titles is limited to members of the royal family.
And the cultivators who have been given the title are not qualified to enter the central decision-making power of the imperial court.
Members of the royal family are also not allowed to give titles at will, and there is a strict limit on the number.
If a member of the royal family dies, then the cultivator who is attached to him and given a false position will also be automatically relieved of his official position.
But even so, the pursuit of a false position is a rush for cultivators.
Because the feeling of being in control of power is so fragrant.
In particular, when it comes to the transfer of troops, it can almost be said that it is a struggle for the top.
Not only for individuals, but also for families, it is a great help.
But whenever there is such an opportunity, no family will be willing to let it go.
At present, the solicitation of the Twelfth Prince Zhao Qiyun obviously has this meaning, but the specific situation will not be known until the Beijing Division.
"It's not that simple."
After Chen Shao'an said lightly, he explained again: "Jingshi naturally wants to go there, so it's good to have a little more knowledge."
"But on the Twelve Princes' side, don't think too much about things."
"Even if you have this kind of affection, you may not be able to get any official position, before you want to pursue something, you must first know what the other party needs and what you can bring to it."
"If it's just us and others, it doesn't mean anything to the Twelve Princes at all, what the Twelve Princes want to fight for is the family behind us."
"Your Majesty is nearly one hundred and fifty years old, just in the prime of life, and the dragon son has always been extremely cruel."
"For the Twelve Princes, the failure to seize the heir is just a rich and idle prince, and for the families involved in it, what they may encounter is the disaster of annihilation and purge."
"If the Chen family is not willing to participate in it, do you think that even if we go to Jingshi and get an official position, will we have a good life?"
Hear Chen
Shao'an's analysis, except for Chen Shaofeng's appearance of nothing.
The third brothers, Chen Shaojie and Sima Xue, couldn't help but show a look of sudden realization on their faces.
Many people only see the great temptation in front of them, but they don't know the hidden crisis under this beauty.
Once you fall into it, you can't help yourself, and if you want to break free, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Powerful things like besieged castles, people outside the city want to rush in, people inside the city want to come out.
The case of the princess's disappearance is over here, and the next few days will be easier.
Because of the rise in fame, many people sent invitations to Chen Shao'an for banquets, but they were all politely rejected one by one.
"It's good to give up, now the fourth brother is too public, it's not a good thing to enter the bluestone ruins, it's easy to become the focus."
"Although it is now listed in the official government, for the cultivation world, it is just an after-dinner conversation, and many people will not pay attention to it at all."
"It is important to know that some people are jealous and may end up in unnecessary trouble."
The third brother Chen Shaojie is very satisfied with the choice of the fourth brother.
Things are done in secret, and words are defeated.
Low-key development is king.
The so-called hatred for no reason means that some people, even if they have nothing to do with him, will make them red-eyed, so that they hold grudges and secretly make trouble.
"It's already the beginning of May, and in half a month's full moon night, it's time for the bluestone ruins to open."
"Now all we have to do is recharge our energy and get ready to enter the ruins."
"Yan Hongjiang, the commander of the government army, has already received 300,000 spirit stones from me, and at the signal of the state lord, he has already promised to bless us after entering."
"However, the newly fused ruins are full of dangers inside, and the government army is only a protection for us, and cannot be completely relied on on it, so the life-saving elixir and magic weapon should be prepared."
"I have life-saving treasures from the clan elders here, don't worry, third brother and Xue'er, don't be economical in this regard, everything you can buy is ready."
"Even if you don't need it this time, you can use it next time." Chen Shaoan thought for a while and said seriously.
The third brother, who heard this, hesitated slightly, but nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll listen to the fourth brother."
At this time, Chen Shaoan found that Sima Xue had a taste of wanting to speak and stopping: "What's wrong Xue'er, it's all my own family, if you have anything to say, just say it, there's no need to worry about anything."
When Sima Xue heard Chen Shao'an's words, after struggling a few times, she said, "Senior brother, let's go in this time, why don't we team up with Zhao Qing'er."
"Zhao Qing'er is the Young Pavilion Master of the Seven Star Sect's Shaking Light Pavilion, or the concubine of the Zhao family recruited by Yuzhou, so there must be no shortage of treasures in her hand."
"The main thing is, she... She has a deep affection for her senior brother, if there is any danger, she will definitely take action and stand up, I heard that she is still a cultivator in the Jindan realm, and the senior brother will have a little more security."
Hearing this, not only Chen Shao'an, but also Chen Shaojie and Chen Shaofeng all looked at Sima Xue with some surprise.
Chen Shaofeng said directly; "Sister Xue'er, didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to prevent the fourth brother from meeting with that Zhao Qing'er, why did you say that you wanted to be together today."
"Aren't you afraid?"
Sima Xue interrupted: "What do I have to be afraid of, I believe in Senior Brother, besides, even Zhao Qing'er is married to Senior Brother, according to the rules of our Daqian, unless Senior Brother withdraws from the marriage, otherwise I have to wait until I get married to Senior Brother."
"I'm not a jealous woman, and it doesn't seem to be a bad thing to have a younger sister."
Hearing this, the third brother Chen Shaojie, couldn't help but turn to Chen Shao'an and blinked his eyes many times.
It's as if to say: Fourth brother, how did you do it?
Chen Shaoan shrugged helplessly, saying that he didn't know such a situation at all.
But then again, what Sima Xue said is true
A little bit of truth.
Although he still doesn't know why Zhao Qing'er has to pester himself, he doesn't even care about being a concubine, but he also understands that judging from the current situation, at least Zhao Qing'er will not say that he wants to harm himself.
Even at present, if she makes any slightly "excessive" requests, Zhao Qinger seems to not refuse.
Even the true female disciples of the Seven Star Sect can open their mouths and say that they will give it to themselves, and there is anything else that they will not agree to.
The third brother, Chen Shaojie, coughed lightly.
said: "Since Xue'er has said this, and there is indeed some truth, then the fourth brother may be able to find Zhao Qing'er to try it, and it is more likely that he will agree."
Sima Xue didn't speak, in fact, the last time Zhao Qing'er came to find Chen Shao'an, Sima Xue already knew.
I just didn't say it.
Chen Shao'an glanced at Sima Xue and said; "Then I'll contact her and tell her about the ruins fusion, maybe she can make some preparations in advance."
Once this is decided, it's time to send the message.
There is a post station in the city, and through the prefect Chen Guangcheng, the news can be quickly transmitted to the Seven Star Sect in the city.
After chatting about the matter, Sima Xue stayed alone and said to Chen Shao'an:
"Senior brother, there seems to be something wrong with my little sister recently, as if doing anything is boring, and she is no longer cheerful as before."
When Chen Shaoan heard this, he recalled the recent developments, but he didn't take it too seriously.
"Perhaps, it's because of the matter of building the foundation, and the little sister really can't intervene in these things we talked about recently."
"Maybe you've had enough fun, and if you want to practice, you can't say."
"But these can only be decided by herself, no matter what the decision is, it is her own choice."
Sima Xue nodded, it seems that this can only be the case at present.
At this time, Chen Shaofeng was alone, sitting alone by the window in the house.
Below are lively streets, crowded and boisterous.
Chen Shaofeng looked at it blankly, but there was no focus in his eyes, and he was obviously in a state of distraction.
After a long while, Chen Shaofeng suddenly spoke, "Da Bai, do you say that I really want to cultivate, but cultivation is really bitter."
As Chen Shaofeng's words fell, in his originally empty room, a white phantom gradually emerged.
