At this moment, Qingguo, which is entrenched in the southern part of the mainland, has instantly become the focus of discussion on the entire continent.

Sealed.

This is a ceremony held by emperors in ancient times.

And the emperor at that time was not the existence that the so-called monarchs of small countries can compare with now, but the emperor who can really unify the continent, and Emperor Qing's move is undoubtedly a provocation to the rest of the countries in this land.

Although Nanqing is the largest power in the mainland, it is still a little too early to unify the world.

Whether it was the Northern Qi Dynasty, which had been recuperating for many years, or the Dongyi City in the eastern part of the continent, which was called Chengchi but was a small country, or the Golden Horde camp on the Xihu grassland, it was impossible to accept Nanqing's edict.

Emperor Qing's seemingly crazy move also made the entire court unified.

There are several old bachelors with white beards under the Zhongshu Gate, desperately trying to let Emperor Qing retract his will, because such a holy decree puts the entire Qingguo on the cusp.

You must know that over the years, the Sigu Sword in Dongyi City has been assassinated in the Qingguo Palace five times, and even once he has come to the door of the imperial study, with a strong killing intent, the great master looked at Emperor Qing at close range.

Such a situation is chilling to think about.

There are countless people in the world who want to take Emperor Qing's head.

The sound of horses' hooves of these people for fame, courtesy, personal enmity, hatred for the country, and conquest of the world for the sake of celebrating the country can no longer sound.

And Emperor Qing seems to want everyone in the world who is hostile to Qingguo to know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, whether it is someone outside Qingguo or someone from Qingguo.

......

At the end of summer, a gentle breeze rises.

At this time, Dongyi City, which is located on the seaside, is full of salty and wet sea water, and the sea breeze and ocean currents on the sea blow the city all year round, and the temperature in summer is extremely pleasant.

It's just that at this time, no one in Dongyi City cares about the seasonal changes.

In the winery, restaurant, and tea shop, all of them are vying to talk about the arrogance of Qingguo and the conceit of Emperor Qing.

The location of the city lord's mansion in Dongyi City is in the center of the north of the city, this big city is famous for its commerce, and the daily flow of people has reached an extremely terrifying level, but the security conditions here are very good.

The reason is very simple, Dongyi City has the most nine-rank masters in the world.

Because there is a great kendo master here.

"It's better to mess around, it's better to mess around." The eyes of the big businessman with great courage and radical personality glowed with a thick essence, and it seemed that he could see the turbulent continent in the near future, and when the guns rang out, there were ten thousand taels of gold.

There are also stable people in the city, who do not want their peaceful and happy life to be broken, they go to ten miles outside the north city, and pray silently in the direction of the grass house: "Peace is blessing, who can guarantee that life in the future will be better than today?"

But, no matter what kind of person it is.

Everyone clearly knows a fact in their hearts: it is not the city lord in the city who really determines the fate of Dongyi City, but the old man in the extremely simple grass ten miles outside the city.

His name is Sigu Sword.

In front of the grass house in the north of the city, weeds are overgrown.

This very dilapidated looking grass house has its back to the direction of Dongyi City, and it seems that behind it, this prosperous city is resisting all the wind and waves.

It is said that when he was a child, he loved to cut reeds with wooden swords, and a great kendo master was cut out later.

In fact, when people can stand in a high enough position, all kinds of small trivial things in childhood will be read out by people, carefully watched in front of a magnifying glass, actively ignore the untruths, find out what they are willing to believe, and regard it as a goal of belief.

But in fact, only the parties concerned naturally know what kind of price they need to pay to walk all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

"It's definitely a trap."

"Emperor Qing, that old bastard, I don't know

What kind of conspiracy did Dao crochet with that old cripple, did he really treat Lao Tzu as an idiot?"

There were bursts of scolding from the grass house.

It looked like a vulgar old man in the market was scolding the street, and no one could have imagined that the great master behind Dongyi City was not as tall as they believed.

Outside the grass house, there was a middle-aged man kneeling reverently on the slightly moist dirt floor, the man's face was simple, but at the moment his face was full of a trace of fanaticism, and he was listening to the master's teachings respectfully.

He is the first disciple of the Sigu Sword, the sword master of the strength of the Nine Grades, Yun Zhilan.

On weekdays, Sigu Jian didn't pay attention to government affairs at all, and it was Yun Zhilan who represented the will of the Great Grandmaster, cooperating with the city lord of Dongyi City to manage this land and maintain the prosperity of Dongyi and the surrounding countries.

Yun Zhilan, who has cultivated an extremely keen sense of politics over the years, knew it as soon as he heard the news from Qingguo, and this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Now that the opportunity was in front of him, he had to consider whether this was the only opportunity in his life.

Emperor Qing...

It's a presence that will strike fear into the hearts of all enemies.

And if you can get rid of Dongyi's biggest threat in the world...

At this moment, Yun Zhilan's breathing couldn't help but be a little short.

If Emperor Qing can be eliminated, then Dongyi City will no longer have to face Qingguo in such a low voice.

No matter what happens on Qingguo's side, every time he likes to let Dongyi City carry the black pot, it's not for no reason.

Because Dongyi City has to pay enough price.

What is the most in Dongyi City?

Naturally, it's money.

And the reason why Qingguo was able to achieve the hegemony on the mainland today is that the supreme military wizard who is good at crusading the east and the west, Emperor Qingguo, is the most fundamental reason, this is a turbulent era when personal strength can change the vast history.

Emperor Qing faintly became the king who pressed on the heads of the four great grandmasters.

No one in the world doubted the ambition of this king.

People were afraid of him, so they wanted to kill him.

This time, it looks like the best chance.

Yun Zhilan adjusted his breathing, and once again revisited his plans and thoughts with his teacher.

"Master, the seventh secret report from Kyoto in Qingguo..."

"The disciple thinks..."

After a long time, a voice sounded in the grass house.

"Emperor Qing pits money, don't be afraid, because this thing can't kill Dongyi."

"Do you know, why is Dongyi and the surrounding small countries sandwiched between Northern Qi and Nanqing, left and right, and compromised, but they have never been swallowed up?"

Facing the master's question, Yun Zhilan did not hesitate at all, and immediately answered, with indescribable fanaticism and confidence in his voice: "Because Dongyi has you, because Dongyi has a sword."

"Yes, although this thing of the Great Grandmaster is not a big deal, it is disgusting enough, if that old bastard of Qingguo hadn't cared about me and that bald donkey of Northern Qi, I am afraid that he would have set off a big war to annex the world a long time ago." Si Gu Jian's voice looked a little lonely: "Therefore, the Great Grandmaster will not choose to make a move at will, let alone show his attitude easily."

If the towering tree tilts with the wind of heaven and earth, there is a risk that the foundation will be broken if one is not careful.

At that time, it is impossible to turn back.

"But alas, no matter how big the ancient tree is, it will dry up, Grand Master... and die."

Listening to the voice of the master in the grass house.

Yun Zhilan's back was instantly hit by cold sweat.

The great grandmaster in everyone's heart belongs to the supreme person standing in the clouds, even if it is Yun Zhilan, a master of the nine grades, he thinks the same as ordinary people, but everyone seems to gradually ignore the important point - the great grandmaster is also a human being.

Why does the world revere the ethereal temple so much?

Isn't it because the temple is stained with a divine word?

"Let's take a look again."

......

Northern Qi, Imperial Palace.

The stream between the streams flows to the pool next to the palatial palace, the flawless white jade piled up into the small Tan shows the invisible nobility, the Northern Qi Dynasty is far more luxurious than the Nanqing, after the collapse of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Hao clan warriors raised troops in the smoke of gunpowder, and finally established the mountains and rivers of the Northern Qi Dynasty today.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the Northern Qi Palace all bowed their bodies and bowed their heads silently, far away from this pond water.

Different from the slightly open atmosphere of Qingguo, the management of eunuchs and palace ladies here in Northern Qi is extremely strict and cold, and since the little emperor ascended the throne, for various reasons, many people have been lifted out of this palace.

Today, the three most respected figures in Northern Qi are fishing together at the moment, and these three people, even the personal eunuchs who serve the emperor and the queen mother all the year round, rarely see the three of them together, which can only prove that something big will happen.

Sitting in the middle is the little emperor of Northern Qi, his black hair is tied behind his head, the little emperor's eyebrows are straight, his facial features are extremely handsome, and the whole person exudes a heroic spirit.

The little emperor's slender hands casually held the precious fishing rod in his hand, but his mind was not on the Tan Zi pond water and the fish in front of him.

After a long time, the little emperor calmly spoke, "Senior Ancestor, Queen Mother, this incident, I thought... I, Northern Qi, don't participate as well. When the two countries confront, in the end, they will compete with each other to be strong in their national strength, so don't take risks."

The national teacher in the mouth of the little emperor was dressed in sackcloth and wore a hat, like an ascetic, sitting cross-legged on the bluestone platform.

When the Northern Qi Kingdom was in turmoil and the Northern Qi royal family was in crisis, it was the national teacher Kuhe, who sat firmly in the depths of the palace, who supported the woman beside him, so that the little emperor survived smoothly, and the precarious situation was resolved by this bald national teacher.

Holding a fishing rod in his hand, Kuhe looked at the surface of the lake, which was calm on the surface and churned inside.

"That emperor of Qingguo is not an ordinary person, to a certain extent, he is a far more terrifying existence than the great grandmaster, and he uses soldiers like a god."

"Emperor Qing has endured it for too long over the years, which makes me a little scared."

"The only point that can be used... Maybe it's because the inside of Qingguo isn't like an iron bucket."

At this moment, Kuhe's eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance.

The Empress Dowager of Northern Qi raised her eyebrows, and suddenly said, "The second child of the Southern Dynasty has no hope, and the crown prince doesn't seem to be very prominent, what does the uncle think of the second generation of this Qingguo?"

The people in power in the Northern Qi Dynasty all know that there is a gap between the national strength between the Northern Qi and the Southern Qing in the final analysis.

It is difficult for the Northern Qi to catch up with Nanqing in a short period of time, and for many years to come, the Northern Qi will be at a disadvantage in the relationship between the two great powers, and it is fortunate not to lose the country, so the Northern Qi royal family is very concerned about the princes of Nanqing.

If there is another heroic and capable Emperor Qing among these princes, this is definitely something that Northern Qi extremely does not want to see.

Kuhe did not answer this question directly.

After a long time, he slowly spoke: "That prince of the East Palace has behaved well in the past two years, not as ridiculous as described in the intelligence, but Emperor Qing has put too much pressure on the prince of the Southern Dynasty, and it should be difficult to surpass this emperor."

The little emperor was thoughtful.

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face: "Uncle, let him do what the Emperor of Qingguo is willing to do, let's let them make trouble, and watch from afar, it will always be good for Northern Qi."

The fishing rod in Kuhe's hand quickly shook at this time.

The national teacher put away the carp with a blank face, and then put it back into the pool, he shook his head.

"Time... There's no time left."

"If I can't completely solve Nanqing's Menghu when I'm in the world, then if I die, how should I deal with it?"

The Queen Mother was shocked, and hurriedly whispered, "Uncle, you... How could you die?"

"Everyone dies."

"So this time, I might have to go see for myself."

"Otherwise, I will not be at peace."

......

At this time, Keikoku Kyoto is really lively.

No matter what faction people are, they all strongly oppose Emperor Qing's move to seal the edict, and the reason is very simple.

Because Emperor Qing did not plan to hold a ceremony at the Hanging Temple on the outskirts of Kyoto, but to go to Dadong Mountain on the shore of the East China Sea, although Dadong Mountain was under the jurisdiction of Dongshan Road, one of the seven roads of Qingguo, and belonged to the territory of Qingguo, but Dadongshan was too close to the border.

Not far from the sea is the area where Dongyi City and many small neutral countries are located.

Lu Ze's head was also a little big during this time.

The Wenchen led by Zhongshu seemed to know that it was difficult to say that Emperor Qing had made up his mind, so he turned his head and looked at Lu Ze, hoping that the future successor of Qingguo would be able to stand up, and many people would come to the door every day to ask to see him here in the East Palace.

There is an old lady Xu who is idle at home after retirement, a generation of famous people in the literary world, and a generation of people who are well-known in the literary world.

Of course, there are also many people who exude a different kind of kindness towards Lu Ze.

Because, Emperor Qing planned to make the East Palace supervise the country this time, which contains a lot of meaning.

During the period of imprisonment, the crown prince can take over military affairs in the name of justice, which is undoubtedly an extremely bold move for His Majesty the Emperor, who regards military affairs as a forbidden body, and at the same time, it also allows people to see the importance that His Majesty attaches to the East Palace.

......

"You know, it's hard to see a person's heart."

"People often say that the Sacred Heart is unfathomable, but in reality, it is difficult to see the hearts of everyone in this court carefully."

"I want to see the prince's heart again."

In the study at night, a few candles are lit.

Emperor Qing whispered to Hong Sizhen, the chief administrator of the Great Inner in front of him, "Over the years, you have worked hard."

The old eunuch smiled slightly: "If you can sacrifice this old bone for Qingguo and Your Majesty, what is the pain of the old slave?"
