Chapter 10: The Mandate of Heaven
Not to mention what Lan Qiu had in mind, Xuannu finally came to Chengdieguan, it was winter, and no one repaired it, and the broken Chengdieguan stood on the avenue, and the snow covered the entire pass.
The torn part is clearly visible, and it is impossible to tell whether it is the power of nature or the power of the gods, and the Xuannu can't judge whether the Hou Tu Niang, who is known as the land rule, has ended.
It is disrespectful and unconfident to ask rashly, you must first understand how the situation is, Cheng Dieguan looks like this, Xuannu has some numbers in her heart.
In this white expanse, her colorful clothes are particularly conspicuous, appearing independent of the world, and her fluttering demeanor constitutes the most beautiful picture scroll between heaven and earth.
She deflected her delicate countenance, as if sensing something, raised her powder, and white light descended in front of her.
"The disciple has seen Xuannu Niangniang." The person who came was Empress Dowager Jiang, and at this moment, there was not much delicate makeup, and there was a lot of coldness on her body.
"Are you coming?" Xuannu was not surprised, and the jade hand touched the collapsed city wall, as if exploring the source of power.
"I'm sorry, Niangniang, the disciple messed up all this." Admitting mistakes, there is nothing to argue.
"I don't blame you, you've been punished." The fingertips of the Xuannu touched the fine snow, and the snowflakes turned into dew drops and dripped down the jade hand.
Empress Dowager Jiang wanted to kill Zhuang Xun, but she was killed, she didn't pity or pity at all, she didn't pity her, and she didn't get angry, because Empress Dowager Jiang had been punished, how was she played, and Zhuang Xun also explained honestly.
"Mother?" Empress Dowager Jiang, who bowed her head, suddenly raised her head and looked at Xuannu in disbelief.
"I just went to see Zhuang Xun, of course I don't pity you, I have already taught you countless times, don't take it lightly against the king of the world, do you think you are me?"
Xuannu said lightly, what she talked about with Empress Dowager Jiang was her position, and Mrs. Jiang was too confident, she could be regarded as criticizing and admonishing, because this kind of mistake was too low-level.
"I am the Empress Dowager of Zhao State...... "Empress Dowager Jiang wanted to justify.
"You're also a cultivator," Xuannu didn't give her a chance to explain, picking up the snowflakes and letting the snow turn into ice and then into water.
“……”
"You have your ideas, Zhao Guo is also your work, I won't say much, you know in your heart what you did this time." Xuannu didn't look at Empress Dowager Jiang, but looked at her palm, letting the water in her hand slip through her fingers.
Just like Zhuang Xun, he obviously had a physical presence in his hand at the beginning, but in the end he quietly slipped away in his hand like water.
"I understand that at least three aspects are wrong, the trust is not human, the understanding of people is not clear, and the practice is inappropriate." Empress Dowager Jiang concluded that she is not repenting every day these days.
"It's good that you understand, do you understand why Zhuang Xun gave up the glory of Zhao State, and Lan Qiu, who faked you?"
As soon as Xuannu's words changed, her eyes also came to Empress Dowager Jiang, looking at this believer who had satisfied her.
"I understand, in Zhao State, he said that he wanted the people to have clothes and food, and the disciple said that the world would be reformed after reunification."
Empress Dowager Jiang replied that she was indifferent under the gaze of the Xuannu, and she knew that Zhuang Xun was dissatisfied with Zhao Guo at that time, but she didn't expect that it would be that kind of situation, Zhuang Xun actually wanted to run away and let him escape.
"It seems that he can't wait or can't trust you, and he doesn't believe that you can affect the development of Zhao State." Xuannu chuckled, such a situation can be said to be wrong.
If Empress Dowager Jiang accepted Zhuang Xun's marriage proposal, exposed her identity as the Empress Dowager and endorsed her, gave Zhuang Xun more platforms, protected him from being ridiculed by the magnates of Zhao State, and said that she would retain the current system of Xia Guo, would she soften Zhuang Xun's attitude?
I don't know, I can't make assumptions, Zhuang Xun and Empress Dowager Jiang, who are not married, can't show good signs, this kind of pity is helpless.
"He believed that he could do it, so he wanted to do it himself, but the disciple thought it was foolproof, and he was afraid of his mother's forced marriage, so he made the wrong choice."
Empress Dowager Jiang was blunt, she didn't mean to shake the pot, she just summarized her own shortcomings, these days she is also thinking about repentance, if she is more persuasive and accepts Zhuang Xun, is it not as tense as it is now.
I was thinking about my arrogance, what did it bring to me, and I raised a dragon as a fish, was I too arrogant, thinking that I had mastered the overall situation, but in the end I was crushed by this variable.
"You and he are fighting for ideas, either you destroy him or he destroys him, there is no reconciliation, there is no chance to ease his position." Xuannu whispered, and her fair-skinned jade hands made a gesture of holding flowers.
She saw very clearly, in her realm, it seemed that they were on the same path, but in fact, on the scale of mortals, the actions and plans of the two were very different, and even opposite.
"The disciple understands that he will not leave any more affection." Empress Dowager Jiang responded that it was not clear about the intimate relationship between Zhuang Xun and Xuannu.
She will face Zhuang Xun squarely, and will not give him any more chances, and will completely destroy Zhuang Xun.
"Destroy his ideals, let him know that his path is wrong, he will definitely be a fierce rival of Zhao Guo when he grows up."
Xuannu looked at the sky, looked at the thick clouds, and saw something through the clouds, it was the majestic heavenly court, countless immortals.
Zhuang Xun's idea is very good, very good, very attractive, there is never a shortage of some "good" gods in this world, what does it matter if you throw some merit to help the good people.
Zhuang Xun is already doing it and has produced results, on the contrary, Empress Dowager Jiang's words have to wait until they are confirmed, it is too long, she can believe it, but the immortals in the sky and the gods in the earth can not believe it, probably not.
"The disciple understands, it's just that Zhao Guo can't have the energy involved now, otherwise he would have taken out the strength to sweep away everything in Jizhou."
If there was the ability to sweep away Jizhou, Zhao Guo would have done it a long time ago, and the power of the strong country would be flying, and there would be no one around to contend with it, and he would not be able to pull his hands and feet if he was tripped up, so he could only watch blankly, and at most he would shout two sentences.
"It's coming, King Jing is going to die, the opportunity that Zhao Guo is waiting for has come, seize this opportunity, and Zhao Guo will go to the sky from the rain."
Lan Qiu didn't guess wrong, Xuannu really didn't pay much attention to Zhuang Xun, because the biggest opportunity of Zhao State came, blocking Zhao State's heaven between Jing and Zheng countries, the alliance was about to fail, and Jing Guo was about to repeat the situation of Yu State.
Many sons will seize the heir, civil strife will be obvious, maybe how many people will fight in the civil war, this is also the top priority of Zhao State now, actively prepare for war, and strive to solve the two main opponents at one time, completely occupy Yuzhou.
As long as Jing Zheng is solved, Zhuang Xun will not be able to affect the unstoppable Zhao State in Jizhou, that is, depending on Zhao Guo's mood, Zhuang Xun will be eliminated.
"Really? It's finally about time. Empress Dowager Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then the spirit of the whole person was greatly improved.
"Yes, the local faction of Jingguo and the Zheng faction have already begun to prepare for a fight, and it is only a superficial peace at present."
Xuannu also just learned about this news, and it was quite easy to say it, this good news dissipated all the current pressure on Empress Dowager Jiang.
"Okay, Zhao Guo has been preparing for too long, and he can finally untie the shackles." Empress Dowager Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that the world in front of her was so beautiful and natural.
"The appearance of the emperor star should let these dragons show each other, the signal to unify the world has been sent, now let's see who is the true son of heaven, the gods have also bet, the world is colorful, Weiwei destiny."
Xuannu sighed, wiped the water in her hands with a handkerchief, and the appearance of the emperor star also means that a unified dynasty is about to appear.
"Are the immortals of Jing Zheng and Zheng? Ziwei and Gou Chen, the two emperors? Empress Dowager Jiang asked, saying the god behind Jing Zheng.
can confront Zhao Guo and not fall behind, and the gods behind him will naturally not be weak, otherwise they will not be able to grow together with Zhao Guo's national strength.
"It's them, but they didn't end up in person like me, which is considered to give me face." Xuannu showed a wry smile.
said that it was to give face, and it didn't end up in person, but the two supported Zhao Guo's sworn enemies, Jing Guo and Zheng Guo, whether this is considered to be face.
"It's also enough of a headache, the fate of these great gods will bring their respective forces, the Beidou master, King Jing can live for so long, and the operation inside is indispensable."
Empress Dowager Jiang was suspicious and said, after all, King Jing was old, but his life was extremely hard, and it was difficult for Zhao Guo to move an inch, and it was difficult to convince people that there was no credit for the Big Dipper.
"King Jing is not worthy of these great gods to lose merit for him, and giving things that prolong life to the emperors of the world is very detrimental to his immortal fate."
Xuannu denied that not everyone was herself, she wanted to experience the love of the mortal world, favored her lover, and fed him pills.
"However, the situation of Jingguo, Emperor Gou Chen also has a headache, after all, immortals can't interfere in the world, they are too good, but they can't choose a recognized monarch."
Unlike Yu Guo, who is full of rotten people, the princes of Jingguo are all eloquent, and all of them are like kings, if you don't take the throne, you can grab it yourself, and anyone can win.
It belongs to each with its own troubles, Jizhou and the Central Plains are just a wild place, and people are all talents to grab, can't compare, can't compare.
"If this is not the case, Zhao Guo will be trapped and die in Yuzhou, which is a good thing for us, that is, this time we will be sorry for Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Gou Chen."
Empress Dowager Jiang is a little lucky, Yuzhou, the essence of the land, the three countries are not easy to get along with, Zhao Guo is just waiting for the monolithic Jing Zheng to have a problem.
"There is nothing to be sorry for in this kind of thing as fighting for the dragon, the king and his ministers practice their path, even if they collide, this is the fate of dividing the kingdom."
Xuannu was very calm, she tried her best to pull Zhuang Xun, and finally embarked on the road of confrontation with Zhao State, this is the general trend, the avenue, it should always be like this, she is proficient in divination and can understand it best.
"Niangniang is right, Zhao has shouldered the task of unifying the world, and all divided kingdoms should be unified, and it is the disciple who is in the picture."
Empress Dowager Jiang smiled, due to the arrival of good news, she was as delicate as a peach and plum, and she was as colorful as a spring.
"What is the situation in Jizhou?" Xuannu grabbed the void, and a branch appeared in Su Bai's hand.
"Now ......" Empress Dowager Jiang immediately told Xuannu about the overall situation in Jizhou, the king of Donghua and Chengguo, focusing on Li Pingyuan and Zhuang Xun of Chengguo, who turned their faces, and now because of the winter, a situation of confrontation has temporarily formed.
"Did you turn your face? This is news that is second only to Emperor Jing's critical illness for our Zhao State, and Jizhou in the backyard is stable, don't let them fight and consume each other's strength. ”
Xuannu listened and nodded, a plum flower appeared in Xuannu's hand, proud of the snow Lingshuang, she admired the beauty of the flowers, and was thinking about something.
"If it weren't for this snow, Xia Guo and Chengguo would have a fight, completely tearing apart each other's trust and alliance, and at the same time, it is possible to trap Zhuang Xun in a secluded place, just like the previous Youguo."
Empress Dowager Jiang regretted that the suppression of Zhuang Xun that she wanted to be stopped by this snow, although she did not expect Li Pingyuan to conquer Yin Du and completely drive Zhuang Xun out of Yu Guo's sphere of influence.
"This snow?" Raising the branch in his hand, the sky responded, and the snowflakes fell faster.
"The heavens are not beautiful, this snow is too untimely, the deployment of the army, the baggage are all difficult, the road to attack is also blocked, and it is a siege war, Li Pingyuan refused, I am afraid that I will still lose the battle in Yindu at that time, but let the Xia country benefit."
Describing the difficulties, Empress Dowager Jiang's regretful tone was full of it, and the heavy snow disrupted the plan, which showed how much she didn't want to see this snow.
"It's not that the heavens are not beautiful, but that someone is artificially made." The Xuannu lifted the branch that had been ripened by herself, and the flower went from blooming to withering for a moment, and then bloomed again.
Seeing the movements of the Xuannu, Empress Dowager Jiang seemed to have an understanding, and half guessed: "Is Zhuang Xun protected by gods?" ”
"Well, it's time for snow too, so it's a convenience, and it's a god's side guard."
Xuannu gently threw down the branches, and the branches were firmly inserted in the snow, and the plum blossoms were bright, and the snow scene became a perfect match, just like two people in the snow.
"How can the gods ......" Realizing this possibility, Empress Dowager Jiang couldn't go on, it was indeed possible, and it was already known that there was a reincarnation king behind Zhuang Xun to help.
"So you are a battle of ideas, and you have been opposed, no, it should be said that Zhuang Xun and all the countries in the world stand on the opposite side, only one side conquers and destroys the other, there are always immortals and gods who are mostly ideal, and Zhuang Xun's theory is not surprising that they are very attractive."
Combined with Zhuang Xun's reasons for talking to himself about his opposition to Zhao Guo, coupled with his own identity as a god, it is not difficult to come to this conclusion, such a heavy snow has exceeded the limit of normal time, but it is under the control of the gods, that is, it has reached the upper limit of abnormality.
"Which gods? can control this kind of Blizzard, it shouldn't be a nobody. ”
Empress Dowager Jiang secretly screamed in her heart, her sense of joy was diluted a little, and Zhuang Xun could always bring her some surprise.
"Anyone can possibly, weather is not the exclusive power of some gods, many gods have weather-related priesthoods, and I have one too."
Xuannu walked to the city wall, as if to avoid the increasingly heavy snow in the sky, came to the wall, and pressed on the cold city wall.
"It's just that only one person has the power of earthquakes."
