119 Longzu
The much-anticipated ceremony of sealing Zen finally came to an end with the sound of the dragon's chant and sword.
On this day, the people of the imperial capital saw too many strange things.
The huge pearl, the vicious Gu worm, the dry corpse witch god who came back from the dead, the monk who is not bad in King Kong, and the golden dragon in the sky above the Panhuan Imperial City, borrowed the sword light that turned into a sword in the city......
One by one, it seems to have come out of a legend.
People also gave the mysterious powerhouse who controlled the real dragon a name, called Dragon Ancestor.
It is estimated that in the next many years, these will become the stories passed down from mouth to mouth in the streets and alleys, and they will become popular among the people.
In the process of sealing the Zen ceremony, although there have been some twists and turns.
But in the end, in terms of the ending, it can be regarded as a success.
The civil and military officials, the people of the imperial capital, all witnessed the majesty of the emperor with their own eyes, and felt the strength of the Chu State, especially when the golden dragon of luck came out, swallowing mountains and rivers, majestic and magnificent.
The domestic people are aspiring, the civil and military are sincerely convinced, and the prestige of Emperor Jin has reached an unprecedented height.
The envoys of the Fanbang countries were also shocked by this scene, and they had great respect for Dachu.
The national fortunes of the state of Chu have been greatly improved as a result.
Emperor Jin took this opportunity to confirm the evidence of the crime of murdering the monarch and treason by the Shi clan's henchmen, and killed many people on the spot.
Under Gu Yinghua's report, all the friends related to the Zheng family were eliminated, or imprisoned or exiled.
The atmosphere in the court suddenly changed greatly.
The Qingliu party took this opportunity to let the emperor implement a new policy and take over the monopoly of salt and iron to the imperial court.
Of course, the emperor agreed, and immediately ordered Liu Changqing to take over the post of prime minister and fully implement the new policy.
Although the clan of the world is unwilling, at this juncture, no one dares to say a word of nonsense.
Otherwise, if you directly collude with the Zheng family's friends, it will be a big crime of raiding the house and destroying the door.
The emperor even hoped that they would jump out and die at this time, so that they could kill a few more fat sheep and enrich the treasury.
Those scholars are not stupid, how could they touch their heads at this time, and they all bowed their heads honestly.
After all, even if they lose the tax exemption and the salt and iron monopoly, they still have other rights, and if they don't know how to anger the emperor, then there is really nothing left.
With the help of the power of Feng Chan, the new domestic policy was implemented in an orderly manner.
Immediately afterwards, the Nanban royal family sent letters asking for guilt one after another, and the envoys came to the imperial capital in waves, crying that everything was done behind the scenes of the Wushen Sect and had nothing to do with the barbarian royal family.
Even in order to win the trust of the Chu State, an order has been issued to designate the Wushen Cult as a cult and the whole country will be killed.
However, how could Emperor Jin believe such words, and immediately drove those envoys back.
Soon after, a "Edict of Rebellion" was read and promulgated.
Among them, he bitterly disobeyed the covenant of the suzerain, sent an envoy without authorization, colluded with rebellion, and plotted to assassinate the king, and his crime was punishable.
He also said that the livelihood of the people in the grassland was difficult, and the people had been suffering for a long time, so he sent the army of the benevolent and righteous king, relieved the people from hanging, conquered the eastern, southern, and western military towns, gathered a million troops, and swore to destroy the barbarian king's court in the near future, and opened up the territory for the Great Chu!
Destroying the southern barbarians and leveling the northern Liang is a feather that the emperors of Great Chu have always wanted to do.
But because the state of Chu is located between the two countries, it is difficult to take care of the end, so few people really put it into action.
Now that the Great Chu soldiers are strong and strong, and they have just had the power of sealing Zen, deterring the Quartet, the northern countries do not dare to be enemies of the Great Chu at all, and even send envoys one after another, and it has concluded a peace treaty that will not be violated for a hundred years.
Emperor Jin, who had no worries, had a great increase in confidence and unprecedented prestige in China, and with his order, the million-strong army was magnificent.
A vigorous expedition is about to begin.
In this regard, Su Chen did not stop it.
The growth of national fortunes is nothing more than strengthening the people's livelihood and national strength internally, pressing other countries externally, and expanding the territory.
After more than ten years of recuperation, Dachu is now strong and strong, and the morale in the country is like a rainbow, and the Nanban took the initiative to send a reason for the war.
If it can really sweep away the barbarian country in one go, the Chu State will no longer have the disaster of the south, and the national strength will be greatly enhanced.
This is of course a good thing for Su Chen.
There was just one thing he vaguely felt a little strange.
Judging from the actions of the Witch God Cult, they should have prepared for war and should have thought about the consequences of defeat.
But the Nanban royal family apologized several times and sued for peace, but it felt that this was not the case.
Could it be that there is another motive behind the assassination of the Witch God Sect this time, the purpose of which is to trigger a war between the two countries?
What's in it for you?
Of course.
This was just a little speculation on Su Chen's part, and there was no evidence to support it, so he didn't mention it.
Su Chen didn't plan to care about the next thing.
After killing those rats of the Witch God Sect, he can finally live a few quiet days in the future, and with the current national strength of the Chu State, it should not be a big problem to conquer the Southern Barbarians.
"It's a pity that the witch god cultivates all witchcraft techniques, and it is not the same system as orthodox immortal cultivation, and there are no exercises or treasures left. Only this silver Gu worm ......"
In the secret room, Su Chen was studying the bottles and cans in his hands.
Among them, there are the black Gu worms that were dug up from the Witch God Cultists before, the kind of blood Gu that the Witch God had on his body, and the kind of worms that were contained in the pearl that King Kong caught easily, and the silver Gu worms that the Witch God used to attack before.
"These ordinary Gu worms, the cultivation techniques are complicated, and they require professional cultivation experience, which is very troublesome and not suitable for me."
Su Chen put down those ordinary Gu worms.
In the end, his gaze focused on the silver Gu worm.
This thing is very powerful, hidden and fast, breaking through the protective barrier, and it has a fierce poison, and it seals the throat when you see blood, which is definitely an excellent means of killing and sneaking up.
By consulting the Poison Sutra and various classics, Su Chen knew its name.
This thing is called the beetle, also known as the white fish, silverfish, this is a common insect, but after special cultivation, it gave birth to a pair of silver wings, and became extremely fierce.
It is a powerful Gu worm specially designed to attack and kill enemies.
However, it is difficult to cultivate, and it is difficult to survive for decades.
The witch god has controlled the witch god sect for many years, and he has collected many poisonous weeds and poisonous insects on the grassland, and only then did he raise such one.
After the cultivation of this thing, it has a very long lifespan, and it is in a state of cultivation on weekdays, and it only needs a small amount of essence blood to feed, and it is awakened and activated at the critical moment, so as to achieve the effect of killing the enemy by surprise.
Visually inspect its ability and efficacy, below the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, it is difficult to guard against it without special means.
That's a killer feature.
Su Chen had the intention to adopt him, and with the strength of his divine thoughts, it should not be a big problem to control the white fish.
The problem is, he doesn't want to put this thing in his body, whether it's safe or not, he just feels a little disgusting.
It is better to keep it in a bottle to be safer.
But in this case, it is necessary to feed it regularly with other Gu worms and poisonous insects as food, so as to preserve and enhance the toxicity of the white fish.
"I don't know how to raise Gu worms, and I'm too lazy to bother, but if it's to enhance toxicity, refining a little poison pill is still easy for me now."
After solving the problem of food, Su Chen put away the white fish temporarily.
Immediately opened the Great Sun Flood Furnace, and the candle dragon Yang Pill inside was still in the process of refining.
In order to deal with the people of the Witch God Sect before, he used a glaucoma mirror, but fortunately, it was daytime, and the sun was shining outside, which did not affect the refining of the elixir.
It is estimated that in another half a year, the Candle Dragon Yang Pill will be completely refined.
At that time, he will be able to refine and absorb it, and his mana cultivation will definitely be greatly improved.
"Counting the time, the one-year period has arrived. It's time for me to meet that Gu Yinghua again......"
While thinking, Su Chen walked out of the secret room.
At this time, in the courtyard, Xiao Lizi was snorting and punching.
Because of the battle of the Feng Chan ceremony, the world shook, and Xiao Lizi also witnessed the power of the warrior with his own eyes and admired it.
Although he knows that his talent is mediocre and he is past the age of martial arts training, who can't dream?
After working every day, practice more boxing and kicking, maybe one day you can achieve something.
Of course.
This stupid boy still doesn't know that the ordinary looking old eunuch of Kwai Yuan in front of him is the "Dragon Ancestor" rumored by the people.
"Good boxing. However, it is too much, and be careful that the qi and blood are empty, but it will hurt the body. ”
Su Chen opened his mouth to remind.
Immediately threw a bottle of Qi and Blood Pill over.
This thing is no longer worth anything to him now, and he can refine a lot of it at will.
Xiao Lizi is quite diligent and obedient on weekdays, and he looks quite pleasing to the eye, so occasionally give a reward.
Just like Gonggong Li's cultivation of himself back then.
As for whether he could achieve anything, Su Chen didn't care at all.
Push open the door.
Su Chen swaggered out of the palace.
Now he has a transcendent status in the palace, although he still has no official authority, but Emperor Jin has grace for him, so the waist card of the head of Kwai Yuan can almost be used as a royal gold medal.
In addition to not being able to mobilize troops and horses, the palace Ouchi has no obstacles in and out.
It's okay, after all, it's not a matter to go home and climb over the wall every day.
It is also a pastime to walk through the gate once in a while and see the scenery along the way.
After leaving the palace, Su Chen quickened his pace, walked through a forest, and when he came out again, he was already wearing the iconic black robe.
Then he came to the mansion of General Zhonglang.
After the ceremony, Gu Yinghua received the attention of the emperor and personally corrected his name, and then handed over the matter of the investigation and investigation of the Shi clan's henchmen to him to supervise.
Today's Zhonglang General can be described as a hot figure in the imperial capital.
Every day, in front of the Zhonglang General's mansion, there is a stream of guests, gift-giving, and relatives, and endless exchanges.
"Thinking that Gu Yinghua was working under the Shi clan back then, everyone spurned him and avoided him. Now that the situation has changed, it has become the object of everyone's scrambling to curry favor. This man is such a snob. ”
Su Chen shook his head.
I didn't bother to deal with the housekeepers at the door, so I directly urged the mana, and my body turned into clouds and mist.
When he reappeared, he had already appeared in Gu Yinghua's study.
At this time.
There was also a royal eunuch in Gu Yinghua's room, who seemed to be persuading him bitterly: "I said my Zhonglang general!" Your Majesty also trusts you very much and has the heart to entrust you with important responsibilities, why did you have the intention of resigning? Your Majesty asked me to ask you, but if you have suffered any grievances, you just have to say, Your Majesty will make decisions for you! ”
"Your Majesty, Gu Yinghua is grateful!"
When Gu Yinghua heard this, he sighed, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, so he could only say: "It's not that I don't want to continue to serve His Majesty, it's just that Gu also has unspeakable hidden ......."
"What's so hard to say? Your Majesty has just issued the order of the Southern Expedition, you are loyal enough, have outstanding merits, and have the talent and experience to lead the troops, Your Majesty intends to let you, as one of the commanders of the Southern Expeditionary Army, kill the barbarians, open up territory for my Chu State, and establish immortal achievements, how can you ...... at this time"
"Father-in-law, kill the enemy to serve the country and expand the territory, so I want to do what I want. However, Gu really has something unspeakable, and if this matter is not decided, I am afraid that I can only live up to His Majesty's good intentions......"
"You ......"
The father-in-law wanted to persuade him again, but seeing his resolute attitude and depressed expression, it seemed that there was really something unspeakable, and it was not good to persecute him too much.
Just said: "Okay, anyway, there will be a period of time before the official expedition, Your Majesty asked our family to tell you, think about it carefully." If you figure it out, you can enter the palace at any time to meet ......"
