Zhou country, Kyoto.

Early in the morning, before dawn, a large number of horse-drawn carriages depart from the Shifang Mansion in Kyoto.

The different patterns and symbols on the carriage faintly indicate the identity of the people in the carriage.

Official.

And he is a great official who can face the saint.

The carriage followed the avenue slowly and quickly, and soon arrived at the heart of Kyoto, in front of the Imperial Palace, which stood in the middle of the city.

When they arrived at the palace, the officials got out of the carriage and marched on foot.

After about a stick of incense, he came to the front of the Changlong Palace.

Changlong Palace, is the seat of the early dynasty of the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor went to court here, listened to the words of hundreds of officials, heard the court discussions, and decided the people's livelihood.

Correct......

That was thirty years ago.

Since the collapse of the Ling family thirty years ago, His Majesty Emperor Zhou Chang and Zhou Zhichang have become obsessed with immortal Taoism and gradually ignore state affairs.

Originally, according to the rules, this morning dynasty should be opened once a day, but it has slowly become three, five, seven, and a month......

Until now...... Once every three months.

Thinking of this, some loyal ministers inevitably beat their chests and lamented that the immortal path misled the country and ruined the people's livelihood.

But this kind of person generally can't last for 30 years, and he returns to his hometown early or is dethroned because of his loyalty.

What kind of goods can still be used in the court now, you can imagine.

Of course, it can't be said that all the people standing here now are stinky fish and rotten shrimp.

Because some people standing here can't even move Emperor Zhou Chang, and they don't want to move.

For example, the four people who are now at the front of the queue.

The first person was about forty years old, and his face was eight points similar to that of Emperor Zhou Chang, and he was wearing a golden gown, with four slits open, a five-clawed golden dragon printed on the front, and a golden belt at the waist.

When the crown prince of the dynasty, Zhou Xingdan.

The second person is slightly younger than Zhou Xingdan, burly and strong, and his face is similar to Zhou Xingdan, he is also wearing a golden robe and a gold belt, but the golden dragon on his chest only has four claws.

The second prince of the dynasty, King Lin, Zhou Xinglin.

The third person has a white beard and an old face, and there is a cloudy color in his eyes, and he doesn't seem to have martial arts and immortal cultivation.

But whether it is Zhou Xingdan or Zhou Xinglin, they are all respectful to the old man.

When the prime minister of the dynasty, Lin Zhengguo.

At the same time, he is also one of the five great families of the Zhou State and the contemporary head of the Lin family.

And the last person, handsome and tall, with a young face, looks between middle-aged young men - also in their thirties.

He was wearing a Taoist robe, and the pattern on the Taoist robe was like stars, and if he looked closely, those stars seemed to be faintly rotating and twinkling, but he only thought that he was dazzled.

This person stood alone, on par with Zhou Xinglin, Zhou Xingdan, and Lin Zhengguo, but no one came to his side to show affection or discuss state affairs with him.

Just because of this man, he does not understand state affairs, and he does not like to socialize with others......

He was able to appear in the early dynasty because he was the national teacher of the dynasty and the guide on the immortal road of Emperor Chang.

Javin.

……

At this time, the early dynasty had not yet begun, and the ministers had time to chat.

or groups of three or five to talk about the wind and snow, or sneak around to pave the way for promotion.

Woo woo is like a group of rabble, but it does not prevent the eldest prince and the second prince from quietly chatting secretly.

The second prince, King Lin Zhou Xinglin, is known as the strongest third-grade martial artist in the Zhou Kingdom, ranking second in the Zhou Kingdom Heavenly List!

As for Zhou Xingdan, the crown prince of the dynasty, his martial arts talent was ordinary, but the financial resources of the royal family still made him promoted to the five-grade condensation realm.

Five products and below, wealth can make up for clumsiness, after five grades, but money is useless, can only look at talent and understanding.

And once the condensation is completed, the blood and qi can be separated from the body, and the sound transmission is just simple.

Outsiders don't know that what the two are talking about at the moment is exactly what happened in Xuanshui City.

"Seven days ago, I received a letter saying that my people in Xuanshui City had stabilized the situation." When King Lin said this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

On the contrary is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

This crossbow smuggling line doesn't really matter...... But the breath in the chest of King Lin and the crown prince is very important.

The poor prince's mansion has paid the price, but what he thought was nine out of ten was messed up, and now he has lost his wife and broken his army......

Those who don't have money are secondary, and it's even worse if there is no place to put face.

Without waiting for Zhou Xingdan to say anything, Zhou Xinglin said again: "By the way, go back and tell your second child, the new successor is now my person." If he dares to use some small means in private, don't blame me, an uncle, for not being emotional. ”

The corners of Zhou Xingdan's mouth twitched and shook his head slightly.

"The second brother of my family made his own decision this time and made a loss, but it made you laugh at the second brother."

And the matter of Xuanshui City, in the eyes of the two of them, is probably just a matter of walking and mentioning.

Zhou Xinglin spoke again: "Where has the old man cultivated immortals?" ”

Zhou Xingdan said in a sullen voice: "I don't know." ”

"I don't know, the queen mother is your own mother, you don't know that I believe it, and the queen mother doesn't know if you guess I believe it?"

Zhou Xingdan and Zhou Xinglin have the same father, Zhou Xinglin's mother is the deceased Dong Guifei, but Zhou Xingdan's mother is the queen of the dynasty, and she is also the only second-grade true martial arts realm martial artist in Zhou State, the first in the heavenly list, and the contemporary head of the original demon gate.

As a second-grade martial artist and still in charge of the harem, it is basically impossible for the emperor's every move to leave the queen's eyes.

Zhou Xingdan stopped talking.

But not speaking is an answer in itself.

Zhou Xinglin's eyes narrowed: "So, the foundation is complete, and you are about to get married, right?" ”

Zhou Xingdan bowed slightly, and then said: "Once the knot is completed, the aura and the dragon qi will collide, and it will be difficult to return." ”

"So before the knot, the old man will inevitably abdicate......"

Speaking of this, the prince's face sank and King Lin's faces sank, and they were silent.

Just as a sharp voice rang out.

"Please enter the palace!"

The ministers entered the palace in an orderly manner.

Zhou Xingdan's ears suddenly sounded Zhou Xinglin's voice: "I asked the immortal dao offerings in my mansion, and the aura and the dragon qi can never coexist in theory. It stands to reason that the old man should have abdicated before he built the foundation, but he has been wandering until now. ”

"Big brother, in case the old man really finds a way to resolve the conflict between dragon qi and aura......"

"You're going to be the prince for five hundred years."

Zhou Xinglin said with a smile, but Zhou Xingdan faintly heard the serenity.

He half-squinted and didn't say a word, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

Yudan, longevity five hundred.

But how can there be a 500-year-old prince in this world?

To be old and not to die is to be a thief!

……

The ministers entered the Changlong Palace.

In the Changlong Palace, the main hall is majestic and dignified.

Emperor Zhou Chang sat on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, overlooking below.

He is sixty-two this year, but he looks only about thirty, and he looks even younger than Zhou Xingdan and Zhou Xinglin.

His face is white and beardless, his eyes seem to be full of stars, and the temperament of the whole person is both majestic and ethereal, giving people a complex and conflicting feeling.

When the ministers stood up, Emperor Zhou Chang spoke softly.

"There is something to say, nothing to retreat."

The voice was indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.

Lin Zhengguo took a step forward and spoke.

"Minister, I have something to say."

"Lin Qing, please speak."

"Your Majesty, three weeks ago, there was a sudden flood in Wuguang Province, and the flood poured out and the people were ...... poor."

"The drought in Hongyuan province intensified two weeks ago......"

Lin Zhengguo's old voice echoed in the Changlong Palace, talking about the people's livelihood in China in the past three months. It can be clearly seen that after listening to two sentences, Zhou Zhichang leaned on the dragon chair, looking bored and unconcerned.

It wasn't until Lin Zhengguo finished speaking that Emperor Zhou Chang spoke again: "These things will all be handed over to the Prince's Mansion to deal with." ”

As early as more than ten years ago, the state of Zhou was the prince's prison state, and domestic trivial matters were discussed by the prince and his ministers.

- It can also be seen that this so-called early dynasty is actually just a show, proving that I, Zhou Zhichang, am still the emperor of this Zhou State......

The ministers were not surprised by this scene.

For about a minute, no one spoke again.

Zhou Zhichang said softly: "Let's disperse." ”

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing for the minister."

Suddenly, another voice sounded.

Zhou Zhichang frowned, but when he saw the person who spoke, his brows quickly eased.

For the one who speaks is his actual teacher.

Javin.

"What else does the national teacher have to say?"

Jia Wen stepped forward, bowed his hand, and spoke.

"Yesterday, I watched the stars at night and found that the domestic celestial phenomena had changed suddenly, and there seemed to be ghosts breeding."

Zhou Zhichang's brows furrowed.

Seeing Jia Wen silent for a moment, he spoke solemnly.

"Your Majesty, if the dragon qi of the Son of Heaven is weakened, the fortunes of the country will fall, and if the fortunes of the country are declining, ghosts will be born and ghosts will dance wildly!"

"This is a great calamity for the people of Zhou."

"Minister, please think about it carefully, abdicate as soon as possible and return a bright future to the people of my Great Zhou Kingdom!"

This is a big rebellion!

For a time, the entire Changlong Hall could be heard.

The ministers and officials are all looking at me, I look at you, they are full of surprise, but they don't dare to say anything.

Lin Zhengguo didn't move, and he couldn't see the look in his eyes clearly.

On the contrary, Zhou Xinglin and Zhou Xingdan glanced at each other, and a strange look flashed in their eyes......

This Jia Wen is wearing a pair of pants with Zhou Zhichang, and the two have a close relationship, not only to make friends when they were young, but also to be masters and apprentices.

But he didn't want to go up early this morning, Jia Wen dared to risk the disapproval and say the abdication in front of Emperor Zhou Chang......

I could see that Emperor Zhou Chang's face suddenly became indifferent.

He looked at Javin and found that Javin was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other with burning eyes, but they didn't give up half a step!

After a long time, Zhou Zhichang spoke again: "I have made a decision on this matter...... Leave that to a later date. ”

"Scatter!"

This time, Zhou Zhichang didn't give anyone a chance to speak.

He flicked his sleeves and stood up, and strode out of the Changlong Palace.

After a long time, the ministers retreated one after another, but they all avoided Jia Wen, as if this person was a plague god.

Javin didn't care about any of that either.

He just glanced at the dignified dragon chair and sighed heavily.

A deep voice rang out from its mouth.

"Emperor Chang sought to visit the ministers, and Jia Wencai was even more incoherent.

Pity the front seat in the middle of the night, don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods! ”

But that's it......

Shaking his head, he walked out of the Changlong Palace.

It was the light of the morning sun shining on Javin's face.

He raised his head and faced the rising sun, his eyes were dotted, and he faintly saw the collapse and decay under the rising sun.

"Zhichang, brother, I still want to save your life again...... But you don't listen. ”

"I've done too many wrong things for you...... Now, I really can't be wrong again and again. ”

Sighing and whispering, Jia Wen seemed to see another scene from the sky.

Hundreds of beasts are fighting, and corpses are everywhere!

The wolf roars and the tiger is in the tiger, and the python swallows it!

True dragon blood!

"But these are useless."
