Chapter Eighty-Five: Temptation
From the Metaverse Prefecture to the Imperial Court, it is about 10 million kilometers or more, but even Gonggong Chu has the cultivation of a true god, so the speed along the way is not slow. But in this distance, Su Yi was apprehensive in his heart. He is an ambitious guy, but he is now fledgling, and it doesn't hurt to be noticed by Emperor Zhen, for fear that he is not sophisticated enough, and his own ideas and intentions will be trapped. At that time, even if Su Yi is a favorite again, no matter how powerful Su Yi is, Emperor Zhen will have an absolute excuse to completely strangle him and his "ambition"!
Therefore, Su Yi must be energetic, tense up, and keep his mind running at any time, so that he can deal with it freely and not be led by Emperor Zhen.
I haven't been to the Ancient Shenzhou for several years, but I found that the Ancient Shenzhou has changed greatly, and all kinds of settings that have never been set up before, such as novel military camp flags, as well as newly established checkpoints, and after stepping into the Ancient Shenzhou, Su Yi obviously noticed that the atmosphere here seemed to be quiet before the outbreak of the Great War. Su Yi frowned, worried, couldn't it be that the princes had begun to rebel against Emperor Zhen on their faces? But why, along the way, don't other major states have such a state of readiness? Moreover, when Si Mo and Lingyun God King came to the Metaverse State, they did not explain this situation.
Thinking about it, he soon came to the front of the imperial court, Su Yi stopped, and went to report from the father-in-law, and waited until the deep and strong voice of Emperor Zhen came out of the imperial court. Only then did Su Yi dust off his official uniform, straighten his shirt, and step into the imperial court.
The first step to enter the imperial court, Su Yi naturally knelt on the ground and called His Majesty. Emperor Zhen smiled and walked down the imperial seat, helped Su Yi up, and then the two monarchs and ministers spoke in place.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Aiqing is getting more and more energetic." Emperor Zhen held Su Yi's hands and wrists and did not let go.
Su Yi was secretly worried in his heart, because he clearly sensed that Emperor Zhen was looking at his body through his hands. He wanted to know that Su Yi's current cultivation was progressing.
Su Yi turned his head, and he directly let him check it generously, he smiled, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Don't dare, Your Majesty's health is the blessing of being a courtier." ”
Emperor Zhen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then stretched, after investigation, except for Su Yi's cultivation in the early stage of the God King Realm was more stable, there was no progress, he thought in his heart, although he had doubts, but he still calmed down. He stood with his hands in his hands, turned and paced, looking out of the imperial court.
"Su Qing came all the way, did you see Gu Shenzhou, and what changes have you had?" Emperor Zhen asked casually.
Su Yi held the courtier's gift in his hand and replied, "Your Majesty refers to those new border passes?" ”
Emperor Zhen bowed slightly.
"I don't dare to ask, why are there so many new levels? But what has happened over the years? Su Yi knew that Emperor Zhen was waiting for him to ask, so he naturally asked.
The corners of Emperor Zhen's mouth lifted slightly, sighed, and said: "It didn't happen, but it's a good thing to take precautions and prevent them in advance?" ”
"This..."Su Yi wanted to speak and stopped.
"It's not that someone rebelled, but it won't be too long, the rebellion of the princes has been revealed, Su Qing, it's difficult to ride a tiger alone, so I have to do it!" Emperor Zhen turned around, pointed to the emperor's seat, moved his lips, and said. "This position is not easy to do! If it weren't for the first emperor who had to pass this on to Lonely, why would Lone be so bothered? ”
"Your Majesty shouldn't say such things, the first emperor is located in Your Majesty, that's because Your Majesty has the qualifications to sit on it! Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and he has worked hard for the development of the Divine Dynasty, and his merits will be passed on to all generations! Su Yi could only follow Emperor Zhen's words and pat his ass.
Emperor Zhen's expression was satisfied, obviously very useful, he leaned down slightly, looked at Su Yi, and said softly: "Su Qing has brought any good news to Gu in the past few years?" ”
"The minister asks Your Majesty to forgive me, the minister is really limited in talent and learning, and with the help of the inferior disciples, he has only opened up a land of thousands of miles, and he has wasted several years of time, but there is still not much constructive!" Su Yi wanted to report the good news, but after thinking about it, he still wanted to report the sorrow, he wanted to see what Emperor Zhen would do.
Emperor Zhen was silent for a moment when he heard this, then smiled, patted Su Yi's shoulder, and said: "Territorial construction, where is it so simple, you see that this divine realm has also been from the hands of the Tianyi Human Emperor for tens of thousands of years, and it has only developed to this point, Su Qing's career has just started, and he is still in a hurry." ”
Hearing the words Tianyi Renhuang, Su Yi's heart beat half a beat slower, but he quickly adjusted, he didn't know if Emperor Zhen had found out, so he could only pretend to be calm today. After all, the Tianyi Emperor in Emperor Zhen's mouth was sitting peacefully in his Purple Mansion at this time.
For a year, Su Yi didn't find any useful help from the Tianyi Emperor, but he didn't want his emperor's corpse to be thrown here, which was really tyrannical, so Su Yi moved into the Purple Mansion together with Xiao Dao, and left it for future research slowly. Clever but clever mistaken, he didn't expect Emperor Zhen to check his cultivation progress as soon as he came up, but fortunately, there were Linglong Pagoda and Qianyuan Wooden Sword in the Purple Mansion, which helped cover up the traces of the emperor's corpse, so he was not discovered. And he also began to regret why he didn't put the corpse of the emperor of Tianyi in the Metaverse State before he came to the imperial court?
"Your Majesty's teachings, the ministers must keep them in mind!" Su Yicheng said in fear.
Su Yi's mood changed, and Emperor Zhen naturally found out, but because he didn't know what the reason, he could only hold his doubts and ask tentatively: "Su Qing, but what's on your mind?" ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the minister only thinks about building a majestic and strong city for His Majesty, where do you dare to have other thoughts?" Su Yi's body leaned lower.
"Su Qing is tired, but Su Qing is wrong, you are not for loneliness, but for yourself." Emperor Zhen put it in Su Yi's ear and whispered.
Su Yi's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, his eyes rolled, and hurriedly said: "The minister is frightened, the minister is His Majesty's minister, life is His Majesty's person, death is His Majesty's soul, everything he does is for His Majesty, for the sake of the God Dynasty, he never dared to have any selfish intentions, let alone say that it was the minister's Metaverse State, Your Majesty's words really frightened the minister, and please ask Your Majesty to see clearly, the heart of the minister's bright moon!" ”
Emperor Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he smiled, pulled Su Yi up, and complained: "Su Qing, Su Qing, you, it's too easy to be serious, Lone means that building a strong strength is a great achievement for both your life events and the safety protection of Lone." How can you not know Su Qing's bright moon heart? ”
Su Yi didn't dare to raise his head, the arm on the palm of Emperor Zhen's hand trembled slightly, and his voice trembled: "Minister... Minister..."
"Okay, Lone is making fun of you, Aiqing sit down quickly, you and I are just like chatting about family life in the mortal world, you don't need to be so restrained!" Emperor Zhen helped Su Yi and let Su Yi sit on the side of the seat.
But Emperor Zhen didn't sit down, how could Su Yi take the lead in sitting, he quickly stood up, took the opportunity to get rid of Emperor Zhen's palm, and said politely: "Don't dare!" Although the ministers are shallow, they still know the most basic courtesies of the monarch and the ministers, how can they be exceeded! ”
With a little starlight in his eyes, Emperor Zhen chuckled, sighed, sat down, and said: "Don't hide it from Su Qing, what Lone hates the most is these red tape, you and I are like old friends at first sight, and Lone can't help but be happy when I see you for the first time." You and I are like seeing each other late, and it's like reuniting old friends for many years, it doesn't have to be like this. ”
Even if Emperor Zhen sat down, Su Yi still didn't sit down, stood aside, showed an ugly smile, and said: "This ceremony and this festival are determined by the Duke of Zhou, and it is the foundation of the development of the Divine Dynasty. ”
Zhou Gong was originally the younger brother of Emperor Wu, and he made outstanding contributions to the future development of the Divine Dynasty throughout his life, and it was precisely because of the rules and regulations he set that the Divine Dynasty could come to this day. Therefore, his exploits also have the ability to open up the world, so he is called "Gong".
For Su Yi's performance, it can be said that he can't jump out of the problem, and Su Yi has perfectly resolved all the temptations of Emperor Zhen with the most loyal attitude. However, Emperor Zhen summoned Su Yi this time to see if his favorite minister had two hearts!
"Su Qing, please sit down, I want to say a few words to you." Emperor Zhen looked around, pulled Su Yi to sit down, and suddenly lowered his voice. "What do you think of Taigong?"
This question is actually profound and difficult, who is Taigong? It is the hero who fought the world with Emperor Wen and ruled the world with Emperor Wu, and it is the famous place to overthrow the dark rule of the ancient gods for hundreds of thousands of years and give the acquired souls a clear sky! How do you evaluate such a person? And how to evaluate?
If you praise the prince, wouldn't the status of Emperor Zhen be very embarrassing? But if you belittle Taigong, he is the benefactor of all acquired souls, and if you backstab your benefactor, there will be problems with your character. Therefore, Su Yi chose to be silent.
Seeing that Su Yi didn't speak, Emperor Zhen was kind and seductive: "I have been sitting alone in the Divine Dynasty for thousands of years, and I have always been thinking about a question, should the existence of Taigong be there!" He has given us the qualifications to be masters, but at the same time, he has also limited the development of acquired beings. There is a sky above our heads, but under this sky, there is also a sky, this sky is thick and dull, just like the ancient gods, and this sky, is it not Taigong? ”
Emperor Zhen's words are quite insightful, it is true, Taigong is the person who opened up the new Shinto, but it is precisely because he is a pioneer and has his own selfishness, so that the development of the new Shinto, following his own footsteps, he is like a shackle of heaven and earth, everyone respects him, but also fears him. He is an idol in the hearts of the beings of the Six Realms, but he is also a demon in his heart.
Since the opening of the new Shinto for more than 80,000 years, how many people have been outstanding and how many people have been arrogant, but in the end, no matter how talented Rao is, no one has surpassed Taigong and truly attained enlightenment!
This is Taigong's selfishness, he is regarded as the master of the New Shinto, and all the cultivated souls are New Shinto, in other words, they are all Taigong's Dao. Just as Su Yi persuaded Lin Shiyi before, the acquired soul imitated the growth of the innate ancient gods, and for hundreds of thousands of years, only one Taigong appeared. And the current beings of the Six Realms are moving in the footsteps of Taigong, but unfortunately, 80,000 years may be too short a time to fail to appear a second Taigong!
But in this kind of words, where can Su Yi go, where can he dare to pick it up?
"Hehe, Su Qing is cautious, the God Realm in the past few decades has indeed not been in vain." Emperor Zhen patted Su Yi's shoulder again and said with a smile. "It doesn't matter, at this time, there are only two people, you and me, we throw away the identity of the monarch and the minister, and speak freely, and it will definitely not reach the ears of the third person. But I want to hear the truth from you! ”
Emperor Zhen pressed forward step by step, and Su Yi had to open his mouth to evaluate, but Su Yi knew in his heart, where was the third person, the only emperor realm powerhouse of the God Dynasty-Yaobei, who was hiding where to listen secretly, in case he said the wrong thing, he would not be able to leave the imperial court.
Su Yi's brain was running rapidly, and he felt that his mouth was a little dry, but he couldn't be presumptuous in front of the God Emperor, so he licked his lips quietly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Please Your Majesty to condemn the crime!" The minister is just an ordinary courtier, even in the cultivation world, he is just a god king. Taigong is a high-ranking figure, and with the status of a minister, he is not qualified to evaluate! ”
Su Yi's answer made Emperor Yun both satisfied and dissatisfied, after all, the meaning of Su Yi's words was still a bit of admiration for Taigong.
"Su Qing once went to the realm with Taigong, don't you know anything about Taigong?" Emperor Zhen changed his words and asked in a different way.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister went to the realm, it was just an accident. Your Majesty may not know that since he was a child, the minister has embarked on the path of cultivation with hatred, and he went to the realm of the earth in order to find the enemy and kill the enemy. And after the prince brought his ministers into the realm, he disappeared! Su Yi had to come up with his miserable experience, which was counted as a bitter ploy.
"It's really hard for you, Su Qing, don't worry, from now on, Lone is the backer behind you, and no one will bully you anymore, let alone have enemies!" Emperor Zhen's eyes showed distress.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Yi hurriedly knelt on the ground again.
"Okay, it's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, so I bothered Su Qing, go back quickly, build a good territory for Lone, if you are passive and slack, be careful that Lone really blames you!" Emperor Zhen laughed.
Su Yi didn't raise his head, and said "don't dare" in his mouth, so he retreated and slowly walked towards the door.
"By the way, Su Qing, you said Lonely, is it really a mediocre person?" When Su Yi was about to withdraw from the imperial court, Emperor Xun was caught off guard and asked such a sentence.
When Su Yi heard this, he almost tripped over the threshold of the imperial court, and he hurriedly knelt down again, but when Emperor Zhen saw this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, Lone just asked casually, go, go." ”
"Yes!" Su Yi withdrew from the imperial court at this time.
After walking out of the imperial court, Su Yi let out a sigh of relief, his face immediately changed his expression, and he didn't have time to straighten his body, so he hurried towards the Yuan Realm State.
