Chapter 457: The Lord of the Stars
"The Son of Heaven has a constitution in his mouth, and formulates the etiquette laws and rules of the world."
"In addition to those who run on the earth and swim in the sea, the stars in the sky must also have rules, and they must obey my will."
"Yes, I not only want to be the co-master of the world, but also the lord of the stars."
Emperor Xiaozong looked up at the starry sky and muttered to himself.
"From now on, build 20,000 stargazing platforms, recruit stargazers from all over the world, and I want to know all the secrets about the stars."
"Your Majesty, it takes a lot of money to build so many stargazing platforms in one go." Some courtiers persuaded that any large-scale construction would be a heavy burden for the people.
Xuanzong liked the Daxing Palace, and after Xiaozong succeeded to the throne, those palaces that had not yet been built were urged to be built.
After all, Hyojong is known for being filial to his father.
"The matter of silver is easy to do, and this observation of the stars is a great good thing for the benefit of the country and the people."
"Let the Hai family give more money first."
"Your Majesty, that's not enough."
"Cui Aiqing, there is always a way."
"During the reign of Gaozong, in order to recuperate with the people, the salt policy was relaxed, and the people were allowed to cook salt by themselves, and they received more than 100 million taels of silver."
"A few days ago, I checked the price of salt among the people, and it was only 20 yuan per catty, which was too cheap."
"From now on, only the imperial court can sell salt, and those who sell illegal salt will be killed."
"As for the price of this salt, I can sell it for 50 yuan a catty, and I don't want much."
"Let the Qian family handle the matter, and let Qian Ning go to Haizhou."
"If the family is poor, they will use less salt, and the rich and noble will eat more salt, and I will earn more of their money, isn't it a great thing?"
Emperor Xiaozong had this bill in his heart, and if he added such a small salt tax, there would be no rebellion.
His father, Emperor Xuanzong, once taught him that an excellent emperor tests the level of squeezing the wealth of the world.
It is necessary to squeeze out the cream of the world, but it must not exceed the tolerance of the people.
"Your Majesty, this?"
"Huh?" Emperor Xiaozong snorted coldly, looking very dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty is wise."
"This is great good government, and the people do not give more, but the country spares it."
"Observing the stars is beneficial to the country and the people, and the people are all cheering."
"That's right."
……
"Your Majesty, when we were sorting out the stargazing platform, we discovered the whereabouts of [Hetu]."
"Is that true?" Emperor Xiaozong was overjoyed.
"In ancient times, there were two supreme divine weapons left in the Supreme Academy of Excellence, one is [Hetu] and the other is [Luoshu], these two divine weapons can know the sun, moon and stars, all things in the world, good luck and bad luck."
"Later, in the Jiazi Rebellion, the vitality of the Zhishan Academy was greatly damaged, and he also lost Hetu, and he didn't expect to reappear here today."
"Your Majesty, do you want to inform Master Meng?"
Are you crazy?
Emperor Xiaozong almost slapped him in the face.
Think about it with your head, it's all my stuff.
Only then did his subordinates react and hurriedly said:
"There is no owner of the artifact, and the virtuous and capable live in it."
"Your Majesty's reopening of the stargazing platform is a grand event unseen in 500 years."
"These treasures should belong to Your Majesty."
Emperor Xiaozong showed hesitation at this time.
"Alas, how can this [Hetu] and even the divine soldiers of the Good Academy be able to plunder people's beauty?"
"Your Majesty, the number of days has changed, the artifact is easier, and it is natural for it to belong to the virtuous people."
"What Wang Aiqing said is very true."
"Then I have no choice but to be disrespectful."
……
"Master of the Si Ming Gate, I can give all the astrological data measured by the observatory so far, and the part about the six stars of the Southern Dipper, to the Si Ming Gate."
"But correspondingly, I want to get the complete Dementor Sutra."
"I now have one-third of the Tang family, but I still need the remaining two-thirds, especially the part about the martial arts."
"Lord Shenwu Country, this is impossible."
"No sect would agree to such a deal."
"What's more, the Si Ming Sect is at the forefront of the three thousand sects, how can it make such a deal with the Buddha Kingdom."
The master of the Si Ming Gate shook his head and refused.
This time, the Shenwu Imperial Court sent out an invitation, saying that it was to discuss the new measured data of the stargazing platform, which made Si Mingmen deeply interested, so the master of Si Ming Gate secretly came over.
"Nothing is impossible."
"What if I add the part of Beidou and part of the content of the Star God Descending Formula?"
"Lord of the Divine Martial Kingdom, do you want to condense the [Lord of the Stars]? Incarnate the Ziwei Emperor of my Daomen? The face of the master finally changed, because the two were not the same concept at all.
Si Ming Xingjun is just the palace of the first day of Nandou, how can he compare to the [Lord of the Stars] and [Ziwei Emperor].
The gap between the two is like the difference between an arhat and an amitabha.
In the system of the Daomen, this Ziwei Emperor is only below the Jade Emperor.
Emperor Xiaozong smiled slightly and continued:
"Shenwu used to be Jinpeng, Jinpeng used to be Tianlong, what about before the Tianlong Dynasty?"
"Some historians don't know what to say about this, but I believe that Si Mingmen must have recorded it."
"It's the Star Dynasty." The Master of the Commanding Sect replied without hesitation.
The history books of this world are in the hands of families, sects, and dynasties.
Ordinary scholars who do not have a collection of books at home, at most they only know about the end of the current dynasty and the previous dynasty, and cannot know more.
Just like the Han Dynasty in the previous life, Liu Yu, the king of Dongping, once asked the Son of Heaven for the book "Historical Records" to watch, but was directly vetoed by the Son of Heaven.
Because you are a prince and king, you should read more books on self-cultivation and loyalty to the Son of Heaven, and you should not read dangerous things like "Historical Records". (Note 1)
So Emperor Xiaozong smiled and said:
"Yes, it's the Star Dynasty."
"But do you know that the emperor of the Xingyao Dynasty, the martial arts they practice, is the "Star God Descending Technique"."
"Is that true?" The masters of the Siming Gate were stunned, because the thickness of the Siming Gate in the history of accumulation was different, unlike the Xiao family's royal family who robbed the accumulation of the Jinpeng Dynasty.
"When I was sorting out the sealed rooftop, I accidentally found the general outline of the "Star God Descending Technique", and although I couldn't cultivate, I had the confidence to deduce a complete set of exercises."
"Our means of observing the stars far surpass those of the ancients, and we can naturally condense better martial arts."
"I'll give you a portion too, how about it?"
"Of course, neither you nor I can teach others."
"Good!" The Master of the Commanding Gate agreed.
……
"Wait, Doctor."
"You went to the Chu family's compound this time, Hetu raised an alarm, and there is a great risk."
"I'll give you a doppelganger so that nothing happens."
"Yes, thank you."
……
I see.
Chu Qianqiu walked on the official road, trying his best to digest His Majesty Xiaozong's martial doppelganger.
Under the baptism of yellow spring water, the layers of memories continue to bloom.
He finally figured out the royal family's methods.
It turned out to be an ancient divine soldier [Hetu], who could sound an alarm and let him predict good and bad fortunes, so that he avoided being ruthlessly pitted by Chu Qianqiu.
I didn't expect that the Xiao family's royal family even embezzled the divine soldiers of the Supreme Kindness Academy, and I don't know if it would be useful to report it.
[Chu Aiqing, there is something to discuss, I am a reasonable person. 】
"You let me go, and I give you innocence. 】
After His Majesty Xiaozong's doppelganger was crushed, there was still a large amount of residual consciousness, even if it only had residual consciousness, it was still struggling, trying to survive.
[Your Majesty.] 】
[Chu Aiqing, do you understand? 】
[Please die, Dog Emperor. 】
Chu Qianqiu sneered, and the yellow spring water completely killed the remaining consciousness.
Note 1: From the Book of Han, General Wang Feng replied like this:
"Taishi Gongshu" has the strategy of the Warring States Period, the strategy of the ministers at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the natural officials and disasters, and the terrain and Essai: all of them are not suitable for the princes and kings. No, no.
