At the end of December, the honor guard of the Son of Heaven was about to leave Suidu to prepare to continue the tour south, Mu Sheng still encouraged the local officials of Suidu to govern the place well and love the people as usual, so he boarded the royal car and went out of the city.

As the parade team set off to the south, Wang Yi, the right prime minister, and Gao Zhong, the acting left prime minister, entered the car to report the patrol plan.

The right prime minister, Wang Yi, said: "Your Majesty, the first stop on this southward journey is to cross the sea to Donghai County and inspect Donglai City. ”

Mu Sheng bowed his head and said, "Well, Donglai City? Tokai-gun! Gu Pengguo? ”

Gao Zhong said: "Yes, Your Majesty, it is the birthplace of the ancient country of Pengguo, when the first emperor was in power, he repeatedly toured Donghai County, and the legend is that there are often immortal palaces on the east coast of Donghai County to descend on the mortal world, and the minister remembers that when he followed the first emperor to tour the world, the civil and military officials present and the first emperor have witnessed the immortal palace coming to the world, and the first emperor was also very excited, and ordered the construction of Wangxiantai on the east bank on the spot, and the imperial court also specially sent people to wait on the east bank to observe the law of the appearance of the fairy palace, so as to send people to the ocean to find the fairy fate. ”

When Mu Sheng heard Gao Zheng's description, his heart moved, and he asked, "Gao Xiangguo, this immortal palace appears every year?" ”

Gao Zhong was surprised: "Your Majesty, the Immortal Palace does appear every year, usually from March to June, and the first emperor saw the wonders of the immortal palace on his seventh eastern tour. ”

When Mu Sheng heard this, he knew in his heart, what kind of fairy palace is this, isn't it just a mirage! It is estimated that the first emperor made a big move to cultivate immortals, which had a lot to do with seeing such a strange scene.

After the two retreated, Mu Sheng turned around and instructed the chief of the inner court: "Yang Jin, you open the map." ”

Yang Jin promised, and hurriedly stepped forward with another temple member to carefully open the map of the whole country and hang it in the car for the emperor to read.

Mu Sheng stepped forward and looked at the location of Donghai County on the map, he was very interested in seeing this place, looking at Nawang Sendai.

Donghai County is actually a huge island, very close to the Central Plains mainland, during the reign of King Wu of the Yu Dynasty, the king of this place came to the Central Plains to pay tribute, King Wu Dayue, was canonized as an earl, so Peng Guo was officially enshrined in the country, influenced by the Central Plains culture for thousands of years, the humanities and etiquette here, polite and Chinese.

Ancient Peng Guo passed on 1,217 years, after two dynasties and 59 generations of kings, almost with the same life of the Yu Dynasty for more than 1,400 years, until the middle and late Warring States period, Peng Guoguo was weak and weak, unable to participate in the competition of the Central Plains, and had successively done Yu and Chen, two strong neighbors of the vassal country, and was destroyed by Chen State, became a county of Chen State, more than 100 years later, Chen State perished, and this place became the Donghai County of the Great Jin Dynasty, the first stop of the south is here.

On the fifth day of the first month of the first year of Yongning, the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, tens of thousands of people marched to the tide viewing wharf, and Yang Jin supported the emperor's imperial car.

In front of the wharf, hundreds of large and small ships were parked, as well as a guard of honor of thousands of people to welcome the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials to cross the sea for inspection.

On the wharf is the banner waving, the gongs and drums are noisy, so lively, the county guard of Donghai County saw the emperor and the civil and military officials get off the car, and hurriedly took the local officials to trot all the way to bow down to the emperor and said: "Long live my emperor Weichen see my emperor, long live." ”

Mu Sheng said: "Excuse me, you are Donglai Ling Shi Xiao Shi Aiqing?" ”

Shi Wei stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, it is Weichen, and Weichen will accompany Your Majesty to tour Donghai County in the future." ”

Mu Sheng bowed his head and said, "Okay! ”

Shi Wei waited cautiously and guided the ministers and emperors present to board the ship.

Mu Sheng came directly to the east side of the ship and looked at the opposite side of Donghai County, the coastline of this Donghai County is almost visible to the naked eye in the distance, and it seems that it is about twelve or three nautical miles away, Mu Sheng knows in his heart, with today's navigation technology, it is difficult to compete for land across the sea, but he didn't think that this Donghai County is so close to the mainland? No wonder in the Warring States Period, Chen Guo easily destroyed Gu Pengguo, if the future Wanwan is also so close to the mainland, even if there is no boat, tens of thousands of soldiers can swim over with swimming rings to liberate Ya smoothly.

Boarding the ship, facing the sea breeze, less than half an hour, the fleet smoothly docked, and the opposite bank has already been prepared to drive hundreds of cars, thousands of soldiers, civil and military officials, board the car and go to Donglai City.

In the city of Donglai, its building retains some of the architectural styles of the ancient Peng Kingdom period, more or less still quite exotic, the emperor's guard of honor entered the city directly through the city, did not stop, the team went straight to the legend that can see the wonder of the immortal palace to the world.

The procession of the procession came and went, from the departure to the early morning of the third day, and finally crossed the whole island and finally arrived at Wangsendai on the east shore of Tokai-gun.

Wangsentai several palaces criss-cross, cloister ring courtyard, the royal palace should have the same specifications are a lot, Wangsentai middle square, is as high as more than ten zhang like a watchtower general tower-type building, but the scale of this watchtower is much larger than the general watchtower, a bit of astronomical observatory meaning in it.

Shi Wei, the commander of Donghai County, guided a group of civil and military officials to climb the tower, and stepped forward to say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the real Wangxian Terrace, standing on this platform and looking far away, it is the best place to watch the immortal palace come to life." ”

Shi Wei paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, now this month, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the wonders of the Immortal Palace, at least until the weather warms up, in February and March." ”

Mu Sheng bowed his head and said: "Well, my trip is only to revisit the road of the first emperor to inspect the world, as for whether I can see the immortal palace in the world, it depends on fate." ”

Shi Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it seemed that the emperor didn't want to delay here for too long.

The weather is fine, from the view of Wangsendai, the blue sea can not be seen at a glance, dozens of fishing boats are floating on the sea in fragments, the terrain of Tokai County is mountainous and there is not much arable land, compared to the mainland, the population is relatively sparse, and the locals mainly go out to sea to fish for a living.

In fact, Mu Sheng himself is not so interested in the so-called immortal palace, isn't it just a mirage? It doesn't matter if you can see it or not, the principle is just an image presented by atmospheric refraction.

At this time, the right prime minister Wang Yi stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, when will we hold the ceremony of changing the yuan?" ”

Mu Sheng looked at the blue ocean in front of him, turned his head and ordered: "The day after tomorrow, after the sacrifice is over, we will set off and continue to the south." ”

Three days later, the emperor and the civil and military officials, gathered in front of Wangxiantai Square, set up an altar to worship heaven and earth, Mu Sheng dressed in a grand crown dress under the guidance of the praise officer to ascend the high platform to worship the heaven and earth, this is already the turn of the year, this year the whole world will change to his year name Yongning for the year, because on the parade road, it is impossible to hold a ceremony in Qingyang, the capital, and can only be simple because of the ugliness, set up an altar in the palace of Wangxiantai, respect heaven and earth, and then, announce the amnesty of the world.

After the salute read out the edict of amnesty to the world, Mu Sheng temporarily added: "Spread my will, in addition to reducing half of the taxes in all counties in the world, all men in the country will be given a knighthood, so as to see the new atmosphere of the new dynasty." ”

When the right prime minister Wang Yi heard this, his face changed slightly, and he dissuaded: "Your Majesty, by all means, since the founding of our dynasty, there has never been a precedent for giving titles widely, and the people will inevitably go to the battlefield to kill the enemy." ”

Although he did not agree with the emperor doing this, he thought that he had not officially corrected the left prime minister, so he stepped forward and echoed the emperor's intentions, and said: "Your Majesty's move, the grace of heaven is immense, and all the people in the world will be grateful for Your Majesty's grace." ”

The right prime minister, Wang Yishang, said: "Your Majesty, if you give such a wide title, the people of the world will thank Your Majesty for your kindness, but acting like this will make the children of the military officials who already have the title resentful, after all, it is not easy to kill the enemy on the battlefield and get the knight." ”

Mu Sheng said: "In this way, the children of military officials, on the basis of it, it is enough to upgrade to another level, who in the world will refuse the benefits of nothing?" That's what I mean, and I don't need to say more. ”

When the prime ministers heard this, they looked at each other, and they had no choice but to draft an edict to carry out this gift package for the young son of heaven.

Of course, Mu Sheng knows the consequences of doing this, the title of this era is very valuable, he does this, it will lead to the actual value of the title shrinking, when the Jin Kingdom changed the law, in order to reward military merits, a fifteenth-class title system was established, divided into fifteen grades of military lords and civil lords, and the titles are directly linked to the treatment.

The reason why Mu Sheng is in a hurry to distribute gift packages to the whole people is to strive for the hearts of the people, he still remembers the situation in the world analyzed by Wu Xie at that time, and now that he is the emperor, he obviously does not want the world to be in chaos, he not only wants to change the yuan, reduce taxes, but also distribute titles and invite people to buy the hearts of the world.

Although Mu Sheng comes from the next generation, he is not as familiar with the back of the history book as other travelers, no matter what era he goes, he can step on the historical node and make a great difference, the history of this different world, he only knows what happened in the past, but he doesn't know what will happen in the future, he can't open the eyes of the sky, and he doesn't know if there will be chaos in the world? Because he himself is a part of the history of this otherworld, he cannot be left alone.

Mu Sheng thought more than once in his heart, if he knew what would happen in the future, just like some traversers do, finding a key historical figure to vigorously woo him, or getting rid of this key figure at a fixed point, it is enough to change the historical context of the future, he is now the Son of Heaven, he has this ability, but now his eyes are black, and he really doesn't know what to do.

The chaos in the world may be Wu Xie's speculation, or maybe he is exaggerating, and the world may not really develop in the historical direction of the Qin Empire in the future, and history itself has many accidental factors.

But he still has to take precautions, it is best to avoid the seeds of the disaster in time, if he does not become the emperor, regardless of the flood in the Central Plains, his own people are soft-spoken, and they can't change anything, now it's different, this heavy family business fell from the sky, and directly smashed his head, then he had to take care of it, and he didn't dare to make a mistake. The ass decides the head, he is now the master of the dynasty, and he doesn't want the good country to fall into chaos.

After tossing for a morning, the ceremony of worshiping the heavens and changing the yuan was coming to an end, and just as everyone was about to exit the square, a bell was suddenly heard from the high platform.

Donghai County Shou Shi Xiao's face changed slightly, and he ran to report to the emperor in small steps: "Your Majesty, the immortal palace is coming, please come to the stage to watch the ceremony." ”

Mu Shengxin said so coincidentally? Served just after the sacrifice? God really gave face, in fact, he guessed that it may have been a rain last night, and the high humidity of the air reproduced the mirage on the sea.

When the civil and military officials heard this, they all showed joy on their faces, and they stepped forward one after another and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this is the ...... of auspicious arrival."

Mu Sheng pursed his lips, and naturally said yes again and again, but he didn't think so in his heart, surrounded by all the civil and military officials, he Shi Shiran climbed the high platform to watch the ceremony.

I saw that the sea in the distance was full of fog, and the visibility was obviously not as clear as a few days ago, but at this time, a brilliant ancient city gradually emerged in the sky, the towering towers, exquisite stone carvings, and rows of luxurious palaces, just like the heaven and earth, the fairy palace was in general, and the ministers were amazed after watching the ceremony, although this wonder will appear every year, but it is not every time you can see it, and it appears in this month, it is really incredible.

Shi Wei has obviously seen it many times, naturally his face is as usual, seeing that the emperor and the ministers are fascinated, Shi Wei stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, now this month there is actually such a strange scene as the fairy palace coming to the world, and Weichen is also the first time to see it, Weichen thinks that it is His Majesty's sacrifice ceremony and heaven and earth, and God will descend auspicious at this time, which indicates the peace of the country and the people." ”

After Shi Wei finished shooting a bucket of rainbow farts, all the civil and military officials also reacted, and stepped forward to congratulate Xiangrui, and the dragon farts continued.

The ministers were full of tricks, but they didn't see any reaction from the emperor, Shi Wei looked up and saw the emperor's face solemn, and his expression seemed to be shocked.

At this moment, Mu Sheng saw the wonders of this fairy palace, and his heart was like a stormy wave, in the middle of this ancient city stood this magnificent giant tower that soared into the sky, the familiar stone carving, the magnificent stone palace, this is not the ancient city ruins of the ancient Kunwu Divine Kingdom that I saw when I cleared the customs in Tianque?

Mu Sheng knew that time was pressing, and the mirage was generally displayed for more than ten minutes, it was just an atmospheric refraction under specific meteorological conditions, since this ancient city could appear in the mirage, then this wonder must be real, but it was just thousands of miles away from the real destination.

He immediately turned his head and summoned the head of the inner court and ordered: "Yang Jin, go and get my clairvoyant mirror, and also call Ah Jiu to me, ...... immediately."

Yang Jin saw that the emperor's tone was so serious, and he was also a little surprised in his heart, and hurriedly trotted to deliver the decree.

The ministers of Gaotai also looked at each other, only that the little emperor was a little out of shape when he saw this wonder for the first time.

Soon after, Ah Jiu flew to the emperor's side, at this moment she had recovered from her injuries as before, everyone saw a silver-haired beauty floating to the emperor's side, and they all secretly guessed the identity of the person, except for a few ministers who were on an errand in the Taiji Palace, the rest of the people had never seen the great patriarch Ahelami who had lived in the inner palace to help the emperor alchemy.

At this time, Yang Jin also snatched the clairvoyant mirror from the hands of a temple man who had just run up to the high platform, and trotted all the way with both hands.

Mu Sheng didn't say a word, he took the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the ancient city of the Kingdom of God in the distance, with the help of the clairvoyant mirror, he saw more details of the ancient city.

I saw that the ancient city of the Kingdom of God looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and the towering towers did not see the original divine light flickering, and some of the statues in the city had become potholes under the erosion of a long time, and some had even collapsed, and the palaces and temples in the city had been covered with all kinds of low plants floating in the wind.

Today, all that remains of this ancient city are the magnificent buildings that seem to tell the traces of the long past, the existence of that once glorious civilization.

Mu Sheng sighed, silently handed over the clairvoyant mirror to Ahelamita, and asked her to take a good look at it, she had also been to the Tianque Ancient Treasure World to see these relics of the divine kingdom, but she didn't expect that this legendary myth really existed in the real world.
