Emperor Xiangxing couldn't afford to fall ill, and even his brothers, who had been locked up in the palace by hand, were released as regents, obviously the deadline was approaching.

The last time the Jin army invaded, he was still able to hold a great dynasty, but now Dongtai is in the rebellion of dozens of counties in the three states, but he has not shown a single face.

I really don't have any strength at all, not necessarily, but the vitality maintained by the imperial doctor and the secret method of the Great Inner Sect cannot be wasted at all.

Emperor Xiangxing had already taken a few steps back in the face of the imperial clan elders, and used the conditions of King Rui's regency in exchange for him to calmly arrange the future, and even the most favored prince did not lead the country.

The aftermath is how to arrange one's children, whether the mausoleum is thorough, and whether the life merits recorded in the history books have been repaired in place......

Otherwise, Emperor Xiangxing actually wanted to die quickly, so that he might still have a good ranking in the Dragon Court, he was afraid that the peaceful world that had been maintained for more than forty years would collapse under his nose.

In the palace, before and after the palace where Emperor Xiangxing recuperated, there were many guards, and the garrison was extremely strict, and all kinds of vague and powerful breaths were everywhere.

There are thousands of purple qi inside, and an old dragon is dying, but it is still closely connected to the Great Rising Heavenly Pillar and holds great power.

"How is my eldest son's transfer to Dongtai?" The old emperor, who described the withered weed, asked weakly on the sickbed.

On the side of the bed, the great eunuch Liu Zhen and the first assistant Zhang Xu were listening to the hadith respectfully and playing the tricks.

Hearing the emperor's question, Zhang Xu hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Back to Your Majesty, the clan has agreed that the king of Ruyang County will transfer Dongtai and replace the town with the imperial family." However, including the regent, they did not agree to promote the princes to princes, saying that the luck of the court could not be lost at will. ”

"It doesn't matter, the prince and the prince are all princes, whether they can grasp their own pulse depends on themselves, as long as they agree to transfer the seal, it is logical for the remaining prince to sit in the town." The old emperor breathed a sigh of relief and felt that this result was acceptable.

"Have all my daughters found good husbands?"

At this time, it was the turn of the great eunuch Liu Zhen to reply: "Your Majesty, several princesses have suitable candidates, just waiting for you to finalize, they are ......"

"None of the Jinshi are willing to take my daughter, which is very good, but I want to see how many of them can live forever." The old emperor's face was a little unsightly, he originally intended to find a few celestials to take care of his descendants, but he didn't expect that none of them would succeed.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there are several daughters of the world kings who can cultivate the Tao, and they have the idea of marrying this Jinshi, you see?"

The world king, that is, the meritorious prince who was sealed in the internal territory when Daxu opened the country, the world town side, and the country rested together.

Of today's forty-eight states, only the king can stay.

Even Emperor Xiangxing took advantage of the turmoil of the dynasty, so he reached an exchange condition, and continued the mission of the Daxu Temple outside the country to let the previous emperors bear the burden, and his sons could open the country without going out.

The old emperor's mind flashed over those few palaces of the world, and he frowned and said: "No need to intervene, this is what my younger brother is worried about, whether the prince can be another emperor or not, it depends on his fate." ”

"The ministers will do their best not to deviate the imperial line!"

"Dynasty reincarnation is destiny! As for those old guys who want to take advantage of the great changes and forcibly continue the national fortune for a hundred years, it is nothing more than a fool's dream. ”

……

Zhou Bai's heart is like an arrow, but the people who can imagine him don't know how many, just from the inner city to the outer city, he has received hundreds of invitations.

These so-and-so ministers and so-and-so uncles can shirk their invitations.

But now in Shenjing City, the news that the eldest prince Ruyang County King will leave the town of Dongtai has spread, and many princes can no longer hold back and recruit the team with great fanfare.

And Zhou Bai, as a celestial man, is even more fragrant.

I don't want to be an official in the imperial court, but I can become their guest secretary and enjoy a large number of spirit stones and elixirs and other resources to worship, so that I will not commit any taboos.

In the past, when many Jinshi did not have the resources to cultivate, in addition to traveling around and training, many of them accepted the recruitment of nobles.

After all, most of the time, you just need to put up a name, and there will be additional rewards for completing tasks, and there will be no punishment if you ignore it.

Originally, he offended a sixth prince, but Zhou Bai didn't take it seriously, because sooner or later he would have to go to the wilderness to open the country, and he couldn't interfere with what he was going to do.

But now the news has clearly spread from the imperial court that the princes of this generation are no longer sent to expand abroad, but to serve as guards in the feudal places.

From the point of view of luck, this is to suppress the early rise of the local hidden dragon with orthodox dragon energy, and try to extend the life of Daxu.

If he doesn't even do the superficial greeting now, then if any prince sits in Dingzhou or the nearby big states, it will definitely disrupt his big strategy.

Of course, there are only eleven princes in total, and there are so many rich and important states, and the general situation should not look down on the border state of Dingzhou.

There was no way, Zhou Bai could only stay in Shenjing City for another five days without eating a few meals, but he still did his best and visited them one by one.

During this period, no matter how many ministers and nobles wanted to marry their daughters, no matter how advantageous the princes offered to solicit them, they were all politely rejected by Zhou Bai in the name of seeking Taoism.

If you don't accept any of your conditions, it means that no one will be offended.

Moreover, Zhou Bai visited the exchange room, and also pointed out some small problems to several princes with the method of hope.

In addition, he chatted from the perspective of local management and town guarding, and many of his views were sophisticated and mature, which won the great favor of the princes, and he couldn't wait to pull him to talk at night.

When all the palaces were walked over, Zhou Bai already had a lot of tokens in his hands, a gesture of welcome at any time.

However, these are all people who want to befriend Zhou Bai, and only one of them is he who took the initiative to invite.

That was the eunuch Wang Xiu who gave him the decree earlier, and in the past year, the Zhou family has never cut off contact with him.

To be precise, it is a special allocation from the Inner Government, and people are sent to Shenjing to give gifts to Wang Xiu during the New Year's holidays.

Today, when the political situation at the upper level of the imperial court is unpredictable, if someone in the palace delivers a message, Zhou Bai, who is far away in Dingzhou, will not be caught off guard.

For the gold master, Wang Xiu will not arbitrarily put on music.

Especially in the case of the imperial examination as the king and the previous dynasty as the master, there are not many nobles who really look up to eunuchs, and they don't even attach importance to eunuchs with the atmosphere of the whole society.

Wang Xiu has now climbed to the inner eunuch of Zhengliupin, serving the emperor in shifts, and knows a lot of turbulent inside information.

The more he knew, the more worried he was about his future, and now that Zhou Bai, a new jinshi, had clearly extended an olive branch, he accepted it immediately.

The celestial man is still a restless celestial, and maybe he can be his backing.

So Wang Xiu reached an alliance with Zhou Bai very frankly, and established more hidden and frequent contact with the Xuanyi Guard of Shenjing City.

On April 3, Zhou Bai dealt with everything in Shenjing City and left Beijing.

Looking back, the National Fortune Heavenly Pillar in the middle of Shenjing City is still towering, and a five-clawed red dragon is attached to it.

Most people who have practiced the method of observing qi, when they take a look at this, will think that Daxu is prosperous.

But those methods of waiting and looking at luck are all castration or incomplete methods, and you can see the surface, but not the essence.

Even if there is an ancestor of a major sect who has the true transmission method that can contemplate the natal life, he will not directly observe the essence of the national fortune, otherwise the backlash will be too great.

Zhou Bai is different, even if his Qi Hope Technique is not perfect, he can't carefully observe the Daxu Dragon Vein and the national fortune, but when he has a rough view of the national fortune, he will not suffer backlash.

At that moment, Zhou Bai's vision appeared in a picture that was different from that of other Qi watchers.

He saw that the luck dragon elephant representing Daxu was indeed a five-clawed red dragon, the only humane true dragon in the entire world, including other Fanbang vassal states.

But there are also different things, such as the dragon scales that are falling off from the red dragon's belly, and the fifth toe on the dragon's claws is obviously much smaller, and it seems to be fading.

In addition, in the depths of the National Fortune Heavenly Pillar, the dense gray and black spots are clearly revealed for a moment, representing that Daxu's foundation has been broken.

However, the red dragon seems to have the support of the dragon court, the dragon scales have fallen off, but the spirit is still uplifted, and the dragon qi has not been much lowered.

Coupled with the vast fortune of the sea, it still supports this big empire, and it will not fall easily.

It's a pity that Zhou Bai didn't dare to take a closer look, otherwise he might be able to judge what the Daxu royal family was doing and how long Daxu had to live.

Of course, after Zhou Bai now has sufficient mana support, the Dacheng of Wangqi can also allow him to spy on a lot of things.

In general, Emperor Xiangxing will collapse within a year.

And although the foundation of Daxu is rotten, the overall luck is still there, and the people's hearts have not been lost, so they can't easily raise the anti-flag.

After going back, we should pay attention to both rigidity and softness, and we should not be too eager and wait for changes.

Rigidity is to strive for the interests of identity, and softness is to build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become king.

The Jumping Horse had digested all the spiritual food that had been fed before, and his physique had further grown, and Zhou Bai continued to feed the spiritual fruit brought out by the Golden Ting Cave Heaven, which made his speed increase a lot.

The starry night galloped, from Shenjing City to Tianjiang Dadu, it only took less than a month.

In the middle, there were nearly a dozen major states and hundreds of counties and counties reported disaster warnings, and the situation in various places became more and more unstable, and the imperial court officially ordered the coastal people to move inward.

On May 1, Zhou Bai crossed the Tianjiang River by dragon boat.

There was no accident on Tianjiang, and there was no incident where the Dragon Palace Ancestor found out that he was the first in the second class in the examination, and he wanted to forcibly marry him as a dragon girl.

But Zhou Bai still sensed that there was something wrong with Tianjiang, not anything else, but the water level was wrong.

The direction of the Tianjiang River is from west to east, and the so-called rushing to the sea does not return, and like other smaller rivers, it also wants to merge into the boundless ocean.

The estuary of the Tianjiang River is the East China Sea, and Zhou Bai found that the water level of the Tianjiang River rose by at least 100 zhang, and after he dived into the water, he found that there was a hidden countercurrent.

It is the water of the East China Sea, and the East China Sea is actually pouring into the Tianjiang River!

He was pretty sure it was still seawater, because the salinity was excessive.

Even if the rising water level does not threaten the embankments on both sides, it is an obvious omen.

Within three months, neighboring states and counties in the north and south of the Tianjiang River may be hit by floods that cannot be resisted.

The Tianjiang River bursts? Zhou Bai didn't dare to think about it.

He was not a saint and did not want to see such a devastating catastrophe happen.

So after changing to the dragon boat and entering the Ningjiang section of Tongzhou, whenever the dragon boat slowed down or docked, Zhou Bai would take out the young dragon horns left by Ao Lin Ao Xia for him.

"Pour the water of any river into the dragon's horn, and if they are nearby, they will come to their aid."

At night, Zhou Bai came to the uninhabited deck, cast a spell to scoop up two balls of water from the river, and then poured into the dragon's horns.

Half an hour, an hour, just when he thought the two little dragons were still gone, two children with red lips and white teeth jumped silently from the water onto the deck.

Their eyes were full of joy and excitement, and they still bowed respectfully: "Master." ”

"Congratulations to Master Zi for being the first in the second class of high school, ranking among the heavens!"

Zhou Bai stepped forward to help the two little ones, and said with a smile: "As a teacher, I also want to congratulate you, I haven't seen you for the past two months, and I have officially received my vocation." ”

"The master is smiling, and the nine products are looking for water, but they have nothing to do all day long, and they are not worth mentioning." Ao Lin seems to have matured a lot, and when he heard Zhou Bai's praise, he actually humbled himself first.

Ao Xia, who is more calm in the painting, is now more bright and lively, and she said coquettishly: "Hmph, if it weren't for the mission of the water envoy, how could we have received a message from the master so coincidentally." ”

"Yes, our first class this year is to give a vocation from the ninth grade, you are stronger than me, a grass people."

"Master, I don't want to take people like you."

"You'd better say if there's anything you need our help with, or we won't dare to please you."

Zhou Bai was stunned when he heard this, and immediately laughed, then took out two gourd fruit wine from the storage ring and said: "I almost forgot, this is a congratulatory gift for the teacher, which can be used to restore mana, so that you don't get drunk." ”

Well, in order to eliminate the so-called risk of exposure, Zhou Bai reprocessed all the spiritual objects in the cave.

He couldn't bring too much spirit fruit, so he brewed spirit fruit wine according to the records in the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.

The two couldn't wait to uncover the gourd, and the rich fruity aroma and aura inside came from the surface, and only a small part of it was the smell of wine.

Zhou Bai then continued: "I called you here to see where you are assigned, but I didn't expect it to be traveling all over the world.

"And I want to ask, this day the river is rising, and the water vapor is accumulating in all directions, and it is about to flood hundreds of millions of innocent lives.

The two of them put away the gourd, glanced at each other, and said solemnly: "Ao Xia and I are carrying out the order of the Heavenly Court, checking the water situation near the Tianjiang River, and the Heavenly Court is on guard. ”

Ao Xia added: "This excess water vapor will probably be transferred to other places by the dragon gods, and this year's rainy season may be a little ......."

Zhou Bai slowly bowed his head, understood the method of the heavenly court, evenly distributed the water vapor, and let the rainy season of the Tianjiang River cover the world.

As long as the Heavenly Court is acting, it proves that this is feasible, and I still remember that in my previous life, there was no such extinction event as the Tianjiang River bursting.

For the Zhou people who repaired the drainage facilities early, it should not have much impact, but it will become an opportunity to seize the leading position in Pingcang.

Then there was a small talk, and in the middle of the conversation, there were already boatmen getting up early.

The two little ones were reluctant to say goodbye, and at the same time found the scene of being in the stable, as if lying on the ears of this horse taught some method.

In their words, the Master is a celestial being, and there is nothing to give, but he can teach him how to make it a better mount in the future.

Over the next two months, the rainy season arrived, and there were almost no sunny days.

Because he was worried about the situation at home, Zhou Bai did not accept the banquet of the state and county officials along the way, but only sent a letter to explain.

However, it is obvious that he underestimated the reputation of a jinshi, and there were countless "great talents" who recommended himself to seek refuge, and it was not until mid-August that he rushed back to his hometown in the rain.

This has been going for most of the year, and when I returned, I had already returned to my hometown in brocade clothes and glorified my ancestors.
