Chapter 189: Dragon Qi
The third prince is not a fool, and even, he is very smart. If he hadn't found out that this was Li Leng's plan and conspiracy just now, then at this moment, everyone jumped out, and things gradually became clear. This was simply a seamless plan for Li Leng to get rid of him. From the very beginning, Li Leng knew that he was spreading rumors that the Son of Heaven was afraid of the alliance of the six major vassal states, and did not dare to fight with them to protect the interests of the Tang Dynasty, but instead ceded land to stabilize his own rule. He thought that Li Leng didn't know, and he was smug that the plan was perfect. Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven is more insidious and cunning than anyone else. From beginning to end, the Son of Heaven is clear. The reason why he deliberately stood still was to wait for the opportunity to make a move. The three princes shuddered, thinking that they were smart and world-famous, but they were toyed with by Li Leng.
This maid is basically Qin Yanran and the Son of Heaven, and she is a chess piece that lures him into the game. Li Leng asked the maid to pretend to surrender, allowing him to grasp the situation that Qin Yanran was a demon saintess. After getting this situation, he must be ecstatic, he will not do too much verification and investigation, and will use the maid as the trump card in the hands of Li Leng. Once he brought the maid to the main hall, as long as the maid opened her mouth, then he, the mastermind behind the scenes, would not be able to escape. What a clever method! It's seamless.
The third prince continued to sweat coldly, his face turned pale, his body trembled slightly, he felt that his throat was particularly dry and uncomfortable, and when he saw the surprised, puzzled, and suspicious eyes of the ministers, he panicked even more, and hurriedly argued: "Your Majesty, no, I ...... I was wronged. This maid, she ...... She took the initiative to tell me this, and I, I felt that the matter was important, and I didn't dare, I didn't dare to assert myself, so I ...... That's why I brought her to the main hall. I didn't expect that she, she was framing her master!"
"No, it's him, it's him, it's he who persecuted me. He told me that as long as I did what he said, he would not only ensure my life, but also give me a lifetime of glory and wealth. The maid kept kowtowing, knocking out all the blood on her forehead. This kind of thing can only be determined to be mastered by the three princes, so that she has a glimmer of life. She doesn't want to die yet, she wants to live.
"Shut up, shut up!" the third prince roared, pointed at the maid, and said tremblingly, "There will be deaths! Say, who made you say this? Is it Qin Yanran? Is it the Qin family? Who the hell is it? If you want this prince to die, you don't have to do that! Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, someone is framing the minister, please don't believe this lowly slave and maid. β
"That's ...... Do you want to believe what you say?" Li Leng looked at the third prince coldly, slowly stood up, and said lightly, "You deliberately let people smear me, spread unfavorable news to Datang, and still want me to trust you? If it were you, is it possible? You disappointed me too much, I wanted to give you a chance, but now it seems that you don't need this opportunity." Very good. β
The third prince's face was pale and terrifying, knowing that it was impossible for Li Leng to let him go, and it was difficult to grab his handle, and finally he could get rid of him, and if it was him, it would be impossible to let go of this opportunity. Death is the only destination. The third prince was discouraged, laughed, pointed at Li Leng and said, "I understand, I understand, all this is your idea, and you are controlling all this behind the scenes." You've taken too much pains to get rid of me, Your Majesty. Haha, it's ridiculous that I thought I was smart, and you were being toyed with by me. I am defeated, and I am willing to lose, but the matter is not over yet, and your country is not stable. This time, the six vassal states jointly crusading against you is the biggest negation of you. Haha, I'll see how you finished it. β
"Do you really think I can't deal with it?" Li sneered, showing complete disapproval, a crisis at this level was nothing in his eyes. He sat on the dragon chair, looked at the three princes motionlessly, and said coldly, "I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, the alliance of the six major vassal states is nothing more than this in my eyes. I sent the Northern Xinjiang Army, cut off the support of the army of the alliance of the six princes, and ordered the Eastern Xinjiang Army to attack the important cities of the Ming Dynasty and the Great Qin, forcing them to return to support. In addition, I ambushed a surprise soldier, which could greatly stop the offensive of the alliance army of the six vassal states. Word by word, he gave a strategy to solve the current Datang crisis. Let all the ministers be stupid.
"Impossible, you haven't done anything in the past few days, how can you have a strategy to deal with it?" The third prince was disheartened and discouraged, thinking that the deployment was exquisite, Li Leng should be flustered, why was he still so calm? Why could he formulate such a powerful coping strategy? He was not convinced! But the facts were in front of him, and he had to recognize the reality even if he didn't believe it.
Li Leng snorted and said, "Do you think I didn't do anything, so I really didn't do anything?" Li snorted coldly, and the black-clad ironclad guard rushed into the main hall, murderous. Li Leng pointed at the three princes and said coldly, "Take down the three princes and put them in prison." All the people who have a relationship with the three princes, and the people who are involved in this matter, there are many of them, and they will all be taken down by me. I'm Datang...... From today onwards, there is only one voice, and that is the voice of the Son of Heaven. There is only one power, the power of the Son of Heaven. β
"Yes, Your Majesty. "These ironclad guards can't control so much, they have captured the Three Princes, and the people in the main hall who participated in the Three Princes' plan, as well as those who are hardcore supporters of the Three Princes, have all been arrested. Even the soldier Yang Lian was taken down by the Iron Guard. All of a sudden, there were one-third fewer civil and military ministers in the main hall. The ministers who were not taken away were all terrified, and cold sweat continued on their foreheads. Although they are not members of the Three Princes, nor are they involved in the affairs of the Three Princes, there are still other princes above them, and they also have other thoughts about the Son of Heaven. Tomorrow, it may be another prince, and even they will be taken down by the Iron Guard. In everyone's hearts, they suddenly realized that instead of taking risks with other princes, it was better to follow the Son of Heaven to do things with sincerity. The new emperor is a hard-working emperor, as long as he sincerely does things for Datang, he will be trusted and reused by the new emperor.
"Haha, hahaha......" The third prince was dragged away by the ironclad guard, laughed loudly, and shouted, "Datang...... It's over, haha, Datang...... It's over!" the voice faded away until no sound was audible. The Chancellor stood still in fear.
"I know that many of you are the people of a certain prince, and if you want to move any of you, you will be affected by one hair and your whole body. Li Leng was full of anger, the reason why he laid out this situation was not only to eradicate the three princes, but also to really control the court situation and control the general trend, his eyes were cold and terrifying, like two knives, to dig out everyone's hearts, "but...... I tell you that in the Tang Dynasty, I am the Son of Heaven. Your allegiance is only to the Son of Heaven, not to the Prince. Today, the incident of the Three Princes is a reminder, in the future, let me find out that the prince has formed a party for personal gain, and your ministers have become a force with the prince, then don't blame me for being ruthless. I found one, killed one, found a gang of people, killed a gang of people. I'm not afraid that the situation will be chaotic, and you don't take yourself so seriously. Any vacancy will be filled by countless talents. Only those who really do things for Datang will be reused and trusted by me. This belief must be firmly remembered by each of you. With a wave of his hand, he walked directly into the apse. As for the life and death of the maid, it doesn't matter anymore, someone will take care of the aftermath for him. Even if everyone can see that this is his one-handed plan, so what? What does the Son of Heaven do, there is no need for reasons and explanations. That's the real power.
After the early dynasty was dispersed, all the ministers of civil and military affairs still had lingering palpitations, and several ministers caught up and surrounded Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo, among whom the officials bowed and saluted and said: "Prime Minister, this son of heaven...... A few days ago, the personnel he transferred did not pass through our ministry at all! Alas, at first, I thought that the new Son of Heaven did not understand the rules here, but now that I think about it, I am too naΓ―ve and think of the Son of Heaven too immaturely. Even the three princes are not opponents of the Son of Heaven, and we are even less opponents of the Son of Heaven. Thankfully, I didn't raise any objections at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to imagine the consequences!"
"The Son of Heaven also said just now that as long as you sincerely do things for Datang, you will be trusted and reused by the Son of Heaven. Zhou Wenbo said lightly, "You, the secretary of the ministry, if you really do it for the good of the Tang Dynasty, the Son of Heaven will know in his heart, even if you oppose him, the Son of Heaven will not blame you, but will use you more." It is true that this son of heaven of ours cannot be viewed from the eyes of ordinary people, and his scheming and resourcefulness are far superior to those of the first emperors? I advise everyone to put away their desire to form a party and engage in selfish interests in the future, and do things well!"
"But we ...... You see, all the people who have a relationship with the three princes today have been arrested by His Majesty, and I guess those people are ...... It's not coming back. Another minister, worried, said, "I'm afraid that the time will come...... If that prince falls, all of us will suffer with it!"
Zhou Wenbo cut off and said: "Saying that you are a pig brain, do you really think that you are a pig? Don't you look at who are the people who were taken away today? All the people of the Three Princes, not a single one of them was taken away? No, those who were taken away, they were not only the confidants of the Three Princes, but also participated in the Three Princes' plan to deal with the Son of Heaven. From now on, you will immediately cut off contact and relations with those princes, and follow the Son of Heaven wholeheartedly, as long as you do not participate in the plans of those princes and do things for the Tang Dynasty wholeheartedly, the Son of Heaven will not do anything to you. Don't think of the Son of Heaven as being so narrow-minded, then you don't know the Son of Heaven too well. After saying that, he got into his car and left, regardless of what the ministers were thinking. Anyway, today's Li Leng's hand really shocked him a lot, and he began to get to know this young man again. Different identities and different statuses will have different corresponding thoughts.
......
After Li Leng left the early court, he returned to the place where the new emperor specialized in cultivation. There are three best cultivation places in Datang, among which the Longmen Grottoes are known as the first-class cultivation city. It is not easy to enter the Longmen Grottoes, without the order of the Son of Heaven, even if you cultivate to the sky, you will not be able to enter the Longmen Grottoes.
The Longmen Grottoes are built at the bottom of the entire palace and are the strongest place to connect to the dragon qi. Li Leng opened the gate with the Son of Heaven Order, so that the formation here would not be activated for the time being, and then walked down the stairs step by step. When he was halfway there, a stream of fiery red heat came up from the bottom of the abyss, and he faintly heard the sound of a dragon groaning.
Walking to the center of the ground, Li Leng saw tens of thousands of arm-thick fine steel chains, pulling an ancient altar together, square in shape, made of 10,000 catties of boulders, and the surface of each boulder was engraved with sacrificial texts and catalogs. The stone platform goes down and is connected to the altar underground. Between the two altars, there are a total of nine powerful formations, and the foundation stone of the formation more than one person high releases a surging aura and urges the operation of the formation.
"What a powerful dragon qi!" Before Li Leng reached the first grotto, he had already felt the strong dragon qi in the ground, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes showed a solemn expression.
Dragon energy is the greatest resource of the monk, but it is also the greatest harm. Once you can't control the dragon qi in your body, it will cause huge impact and damage to your body.
Therefore, if you want to use the dragon qi for cultivation, you must learn how to control the dragon qi in the dragon cave.
The Dragon Cave is divided into nine layers, and the dragon energy of each layer grows geometrically. For example, the first grotto is the qi of one dragon, the second grotto is the qi of two dragons, the third grotto is the qi of four dragons, the fourth grotto is the qi of eight dragons, the fifth grotto is the qi of sixty-four dragons, and the sixth grotto...... To the ninth realm is the qi of billions of dragons.
It can be called the dragon gate qi of the entire starry sky, and the power is incomparably huge.
Looking at the entire world, no one has ever been able to withstand the crushing of the billions of dragons, let alone control them.
Li Leng looked calm and walked into the Longmen Grottoes on the first floor.
The light of the formation cornerstone flickered, the gate of the formation slowly opened, and a suppressed dragon qi was released.
The air currents, like boiling hot magma, seem to be able to incinerate people.
"Ugh!"
Li Leng had just absorbed the slightest trace of dragon qi, and a muffled sound came out of his mouth, absorbing the dragon qi, and the skin, bones, blood, and meridians all melted, and bright red blood continued to overflow all over his body.
"It's so powerful!" Li Leng's face changed drastically, he couldn't use his Yuan Force to suppress or resist the dragon qi, if he did that, the dragon qi would not be able to enter the body and refine his physique.
He had to make the dragon qi fully recognize his body, which required him to endure pain and suffering that very human beings could endure.
