"You're done, right?"

In the imperial study, Zhao Hongming saw Gao Yanshi walk in, looked up and asked.

Gao Yanshi bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's all done." The kings of Han, Zhao, and Qi died of cold, and their princes and their descendants were so grief-stricken that they did not want to survive, and followed their ancestors to hang themselves. ”

"They are all people with backbone." Zhao Hongming said without raising his head while reviewing the folds in his hand: "These people are all kings of a country, and they deserve to be buried thickly." Choose a piece of feng shui treasure outside the girder. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"When the tombs of these ancestors are built, some nobles from the original five kingdoms will be moved over, and let them guard the tombs for generations." Zhao Hongming finished reading a piece of music and put it down: "Which nobles you want to move, you go to the two prime ministers to discuss." ”

After unifying the Five Kingdoms, Zhao Hongming knew that the aristocratic power of the Five Kingdoms was deep-rooted, and if he did not take strict precautions, these old nobles were likely to rely on the clan power to "resurge", posing a threat to his rule of Great Wei.

Therefore, he had to weaken and divide these aristocratic forces.

Guarding the tomb is a good means.

Now that the tombs of the last kings were placed outside the city of Daliang, he could order the nobles of the Five Kingdoms to be forced to migrate to Daliang.

In this way, the nobles could be separated from their families and fiefdoms, and they would lose their original power and influence.

At the same time, these nobles can also be placed under the close surveillance of the imperial court to avoid dissent.

As for the nobles who were unwilling or unable to go to Daliang, Zhao Hongming would move them to remote areas.

Most of these areas have harsh environments and lack of resources, and the nobles of those countries are estimated to be unable to make any waves.

Gao Yanshi has been by Zhao Hongming's side for many years, is well versed in some political rules in the court, knows Zhao Hongming's plan, and hurriedly bows his head and says yes.

Needless to say, let's dispose of it.

The follow-up development was also as expected by Zhao Hongming, and the implementation of these measures dealt a huge blow to the aristocratic forces of the five countries.

They were forced to leave their families and fiefdoms, losing their original power and status, and many nobles were deeply dissatisfied and helpless about this, but they were powerless to change the status quo.

Zhao Hongming's series of methods successfully divided the aristocratic forces of the five countries.

With the passage of time, the resistance consciousness of the nobles of the five countries will inevitably gradually weaken, and the Wei State will definitely be much more stable in the future.

At this time, the Zhao clan of Wei began to visit him frequently.

Since he ruled the world, Zongzheng has repeatedly met with him, asking for the expansion of the imperial mausoleum of Zongmiao, and also said that he moved the emperor Zhao Yuxu and some court ministers to persuade one after another.

Only then did Zhao Hongming discover that now the power of the Zhao clan of Wei State has swelled uncontrollably, and this temple is a sign.

Zong Zheng was afraid that he wanted to condense the Wei State Zhao clan through the form of the sect temple, put a moral shackle on him, and tightly tied it to the Wei State Zhao family, further increasing the previous influence of their clan.

However, Zhao Hongming is not very worried.

In his eyes, these are all small ways that cannot be put on the table.

Today's Wei Zhao clan is still suppressed by the national fortune, and the children of the clan do not have much ability to commit crimes, and they are not the opponents of those civil and military generals in the court.

Not to mention that Zhao Hongming still has a few hundred years of life, which is almost no different from "immortality" for these clansmen, which is enough to suppress these people's impatience.

Having said that, Zhao Hongming can have such a situation now, and it is inseparable from the foundation laid by the ancestors of the Zhao family of Wei State.

If you refuse directly, you will inevitably forget your ancestors.

After comprehensive consideration, he did not obstruct the Zong Miao incident, and decided to follow Zong Zheng's intention and expand the Zong Temple of the Zhao clan of Wei to express his reverence for the ancestors.

The expansion project was carried out very largely, and Zhao Hongming personally supervised the work and did his best.

After months of meticulous construction, the area of the temple has doubled, and it is magnificent, and it has the style of the first temple in the world.

After the completion of the expansion of the Jongmyo Temple, Jongjeong followed the ancestral teachings to move the body of the first king to the ground and enshrine it in the Jongmyo to enjoy the incense of future generations.

Looking at the corpse of the first king enshrined on the temple, Zhao Hongming's brows couldn't help frowning.

He asked Zongzheng on the side: "Why did you move the body of your ancestor out of the ground instead of setting up a mausoleum, so that your ancestor can be buried in the ground?" ”

"I don't know." Zong Zheng shook his head and said: "This is an ancestral precept since ancient times, but the first king personally explained that his body should be enshrined in the temple and not buried in the imperial tomb. ”

"Zu Xun?" Zhao Hongming muttered in his heart.

He looked at the body of the first king in the temple, and there was no sign of decomposition.

Not only that, but the skin on his whole body was still a little ruddy, and he looked like he was asleep.

Zhao Hongming knew that the first king was a martial artist with nine grades of martial courage in front of him, his cultivation was superb, his qi and blood were extremely vigorous, and his physical body was more powerful than ordinary ordinary people.

But after so many years of death, he was a little surprised that he could still maintain such a state.

It is reminiscent of the scene that appeared during the first worship of the year.

I don't know why, Zhao Hongming always has a bad premonition.

Time flies, and the years go by.

Before you know it, a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Zhao Hongming worked hard to sort out government affairs after the unification of the five countries.

After discussions with many ministers, he finally divided the territory of the world into 36 counties, which were placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Wei court.

Unexpectedly, this move immediately caused a shock in the world.

The major martial arts forces, whether they were prestigious sects or hidden families, all felt unprecedented pressure.

They were all familiar with Zhao Hongming's attitude towards the martial arts forces, and long before the Wei State was unified, the martial arts forces in the Wei State had been subsumed into the court.

Many martial arts forces directly fell apart and died out completely because of this.

Many martial arts forces in the Five Kingdoms were also worried that their martial arts inheritance and family interests would be harmed, so they united one after another, intending to rebel against Zhao Hongming's rule.

The world that had just calmed down became turbulent again.

However, Zhao Hongming is not one of those ordinary kings.

He had expected this day for a long time, so he prepared in advance.

The Wei Wushu under the command of the Wei State, under his intentional cultivation, began to grow in overall strength, which was no longer the same as before.

Under the orders of Zhao Hongming, Wei Wushu ruthlessly suppressed the resistance of the major martial arts forces.

In addition, the Wei court has incorporated many of the best martial arts forces, and the remaining martial arts forces and families of the other five countries are not opponents of the Wei court.

All those who were dissatisfied and resisted were slaughtered.

For a time, there was a lot of noise on the rivers and lakes, and everyone was in danger.

At the same time, in order to completely cut off future troubles, Zhao Hongming decided to confiscate the world's martial arts.

He ordered that all the martial arts exercises in the whole world must be handed over to the Great Liang of the Wei State, which would be kept and taught by the imperial court.

This order is simply a bolt from the blue for the major martial arts forces, and the bottom of the kettle is drawn.

They knew that once the martial arts were confiscated, their strength would be greatly reduced, and they might even collapse from now on.

Many people join their martial arts forces because they are going for exercises and cultivation.

If the martial arts are all taken, and the court can still teach the corresponding martial arts, then these martial arts forces will become extinct in name.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

However, Zhao Hongming's determination has been decided, and no one can change it.

Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die!

Under Zhao Hongming's strong will, Wei Wushu was invincible and pushed all the way.

Although the major martial arts forces were unwilling, under the coercion of Wei Wushu, they had to hand over their own martial arts techniques.

For a time, the Great Liang of Wei became the gathering place of martial arts in the world.

In the face of more and more martial arts, coupled with the private collections of the royal families of various countries that have been confiscated, it turns out that the Tibetan martial arts building of the Wei State can no longer be satisfied.

Zhao Hongming took advantage of the situation to build the imperial arsenal and set up Taixue, which was open to the people of the world, allowing people with lofty ideals to practice martial arts after joining the imperial court.

This move can not only enhance the strength of the imperial court, but also win the hearts of the people, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

After two years of turmoil, those martial arts forces finally realized that the general trend had gone, and they had to choose to submit to the Wei court.

The whole world has undergone earth-shaking changes and gradually stabilized.

Until this moment, Zhao Hongming could finally focus more on martial arts cultivation.

In the practice room deep in the palace of the Wei Kingdom, Zhao Hongming was closing his eyes and concentrating, immersed in the world of martial arts.

The air around him seemed to be frozen, and only the aura on his body was constantly fluctuating and changing.

In the past five or six years, Zhao Hongming's martial arts cultivation has once again broken through the bottleneck and reached the realm of the four products of creation.

At this point, he deeply felt the difficulty of martial arts progress.

Zhao Hongming's consciousness moved, and he glanced at the [Heavenly Dao Reward for Diligence] martial arts panel.

It shows that the experience points he needs to break through further have reached a huge number, and there will be no tension in the past ten years.

If you break through at this rate, it may take more than a hundred years to break through again.

And there has not been much improvement and change in combat power.

Zhao Hongming faintly realized that he had almost touched the limit of this world's martial arts.

After a long period of penance, his strength has also reached an unprecedented height.

It's hard to go further.

You can try to condense the heirloom jade seals of several other countries.

The jade seal of the country, the symbol of a country, contains profound national fortune.

Zhao Hongming knew that if he refined these jade seals one by one, he would almost unite the national fortunes of the whole world.

"In the ancestral teachings left by the first king of the Wei Kingdom, it is mentioned that the national fortune can live forever, but what I saw in the ancient tomb of the Yin State is that the national fortune cannot live forever, and the two contradict each other."

"Looking at the anomaly of the national fortune when I worshiped the first king, it is obvious that there is a lot of secret in this national fortune."

Zhao Hongming did not immediately sacrifice the jade seals of other countries when he received them, because of this concern.

Now in the past four or five years, his cultivation has gradually touched the limit of this world, and with the god and demon blades, it is enough to deal with all kinds of emergencies, so you can try it.

Zhao Hongming waved his sleeves.

Three clear lights flashed.

In front of him, there was the jade seal of the three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, and Qi that had not yet been condensed.

Each of these jade seals exudes a different aura, some are calm and heavy, some are as sharp as a blade, and some are restrained.

Zhao Hongming was already familiar with the refining methods of these jade seals, took a deep breath, and began refining them one by one.

He first picked up the jade seal of the Chu State, pinched the trick with one hand, urged the true intention in his body, and began to practice according to the condensation method of the Chu State.

I saw a stream of brilliant light pouring out of Zhao Hongming's palm and slowly injecting into the jade seal.

With the infusion of light, the jade seal began to undergo subtle changes, and the originally scattered aura gradually became condensed.

Zhao Hongming's consciousness was raised, and he saw the vast mountains and rivers of the Chu State, and the wisps of national fortune on them began to gather towards him.

Rumble!

There was a muffled sound.

Under Zhao Hongming's gaze, the mountains and rivers of Chu and Wei were connected.

The next moment, a familiar feeling of falling hit.

The heirloom jade seal of the Chu State was smelted by the ancient seals of the four directions.

Zhao Hongming did not stop the movements in his hand, and the next thing was the jade seal of Zhao Guo.

He carefully urged the true intention, discarded distracting thoughts, and began to practice.

The heirloom jade seal of Zhao State floated and fell in his hand, like a turquoise flame beating.

In a trance, the same scene appeared with the sacrifice of the jade seal of the Chu State.

Finally, there is the heirloom jade seal of the Qi State.

This jade seal looked unremarkable, but Zhao Hongming didn't dare to be careless.

He was engrossed in urging his true intentions and earnestly refined.

After some arduous refining, Zhao Hongming finally succeeded in refining the heirloom jade seal of Qi State.

Bang.

Under Zhao Hongming's gaze, the heirloom jade seal of Qi State burrowed into Zhao Hongming's chest and merged with the ancient seals of the Quartet.

Just after the fusion of the ancient seal of the Quartet and the jade seal of the Qi Kingdom, a powerful and incomparable aura instantly erupted.

The entire palace trembled under this breath.

Zhao Hongming felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

The national fortunes of the whole world have been condensed into the ancient seals of the four directions, and the eight characters engraved in the ancient seals of the four directions, "life in the sky, longevity and Yongchang" are all lit.

He clearly sensed that this ancient seal was like an ancient god awakening.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhao Hongming felt that the heirloom jade seal of the Six Kingdoms was stripped from this ancient seal, and this matter was completed.

Rumble!

The Quartet Ancient Seal rushed out of Zhao Hongming's chest like a true dragon, and he felt an unprecedented tremendous pressure surging from heaven and earth, as if it was about to crush his whole person.

His face turned pale, sweat rained down, and his body trembled slightly.

He understood that this was because he had gathered the fortunes of the whole world into one, and this heavy responsibility was almost beyond his capacity.

At this time, Zhao Hongming vaguely heard a burst of dragon groans.

There were suddenly three dragon qi surging in his body, resisting this huge national fortune power for him, making his whole body light, as if he had broken free from the mire.

Just when Zhao Hongming was trying to stabilize his body and wanted to adapt to this pressure, there was a sudden movement in the temple.

The first king, Zhao Xuancheng, who had been dead for many years, slowly opened his eyes. (End of chapter)
