Volume 1, The Decree of the King Chapter 95, The Towering Ministers
The majestic Tianming Palace, when the oblique moon hangs high, is already overcrowded, everywhere you can see the full set of iron guards, wearing armor and generals gathered together, standing on the long stone steps outside the palace gate, each hesitating as if waiting for the next will.
After the Qin King took over, there was no difference between the Iron Dynasty and the first emperor when he was alive, and the speed of the promulgation of the Taoist decree was even higher than that of the first emperor, and the Iron Dynasty in this year's time, although there were some wars and turmoil, but the overall economy was quite stable, and the people did not complain too much, which was quite difficult.
The royal decree that he guarded was always carried close to him, and it was not long ago that he took it off and handed it over to others.
"What I am guarding is not this broken copper and iron, but the people of Li in this corner of the Iron Dynasty, these subjects who chose my Liao family, I can't let them down. ”
King Qin's courage is inferior to those other royal family members, the crown prince is fighting for power, the four princes are powerful, in his eyes, he can't get on the stage like a child playing in the water, and he naturally doesn't care about each other in his heart, what he is looking forward to is whether the next young man who comes back from the Heavenly King Road can teach the Liao family this lesson.
What can become a legitimate contender for the throne after being tempered by the Heavenly King's Road, in fact, it is all nonsense, and the older generation such as King Qin and the Empress who were present at that time did not believe it, but these younger generations thought so.
A year is enough time to muddy this long-dormant lake, whether it is a king or a rebel everywhere, you must always show your fangs and try to compare your self-sharpened edge with others, which is stronger or weaker.
"It's been three hundred and fifty-eight years, and the dynasties that have lasted so long in history should be on the verge of collapse, right?" King Qin was wearing gold silk soft armor, and he didn't wear the elaborate and bells and whistles of civil officials, so he always felt unsafe.
The people who followed him were not eunuchs, and the eggs were not serious, and King Qin couldn't believe it.
"Gongcheng, how long have you been with me?" asked King Qin.
"Back to King Qin, I followed when I was eight years old, and now I am thirty-eight, and it has been thirty years. The general standing beside him replied respectfully.
"The Xun family is really admirable, such a family with such a backbone, not only in Xishuizhou, but also in Zhongzhou. ”
Most of the big families in Zhongzhou rely on the imperial court and are involved in the turbulent tide of the struggle of hundreds of officials, except for the Xun family, after the establishment of Bai Yujing in the Iron Dynasty, step by step with the talent of the clansmen, they have gained a firm foothold in this place where every inch of land is valuable, and the Xun family has thousands of clansmen.
Wen Taowu, a disciple surnamed Xun, is proficient in everything, and every generation can produce talents from heaven and earth, and he is so forbearing, and his talent is not too exposed, so many years have attracted the attention of King Qin.
After the unremitting efforts of King Qin, the Xun family gradually appeared in the court, Xun Yong, the general of Huwei, and Xun Gongcheng, who followed him.
"King Qin, I don't understand why you chose to sit in such a chicken place, there are enemies on all sides, and it is too disadvantageous for us. Xun Gongcheng grew up with King Qin since he was a child, and he admired King Qin's strategy.
Obviously there is a better choice, but today's Bai Yujing is a hot potato, coupled with the weakening of the King of Qin in a year, to this day, the iron guards are scattered all over Zhongzhou, and the number of troops in the capital is less than 50,000, and it is at an obvious disadvantage to deal with either side.
"If it's easy for me to leave, what should the people do? Kyushu is in turmoil, surrounded by strong enemies, and will take advantage of the situation to enter the cholera mountains and rivers. King Qin stood in front of the palace gate with his hands behind his back and looked at the waning moon, waiting for the arrival of one person.
There was a Taoist robe, running from outside the door of the Nine Gates, not caring about sweating profusely and panting, he raised his legs and struggled to climb to the top of the stone steps, standing in front of King Qin.
"Mr. Gongsun, you're late, if it's dawn, my head will have to move. King Qin finally smiled, smiling sincerely, without embellishment.
Gongsun Qi was carrying a full set of magic weapons, and he embarked on the journey at night from the remote residence in the capital, and he didn't dare to ride a horse, so he finally arrived here on foot, "King Qin, you don't know how heavy this psychic compass is, my waist is flashing." ”
Just in front of the gate of Tianming Palace, Gongsun Qi removed the square table at the four corners behind him, lit the white candle in the baggage, carefully arranged it according to the lines, dipped the brush in cinnabar, and drew the familiar formation drawing on the bluestone.
Raised his hand to take the king's order, and placed it in the recess in the middle of the square table at the four corners, just enough to fill the recess, and the gossip compass lit up instantly, illuminating the faces of the three of them.
"The timing is just right, I ask again, do you really want to do this? Since the establishment of the Iron Dynasty, no one has done it again, and I am also talking on paper, and I have never really done it. Gongsun Qi's face was solemn, full of doubts about what he was about to do next.
"Hurry up, only this way can be sure of success, otherwise I would have left with the iron guard, the Gongsun family has been guarding the king's order, I believe this time it will be possible." ”
King Qin's firm eyes made Gongsun Qi make up his mind, and motioned for the two to stay away from him and not to disturb the spell.
Bai Yujing was built on the dragon vein, and in the generations before the Iron Dynasty, they all tried their best to crack the mystery of the dragon vein, and everyone, including the ancestors of the Liao family, failed to break it.
However, the ancestor of Gongsun Qi found the Dao method to temporarily awaken the dragon vein through the king's order, as long as the holder of the king's order is within the range of the dragon vein, the dragon vein forcibly activated by the Dao law will take the initiative to make a choice and choose the person who is blessed by luck.
There were many times when the emperor wanted to use this technique to screen his heirs, but he was worried that his luck would be accidentally taken away by others, so he hesitated and caused today's disaster.
The golden dragon soul in the king's order was activated by the compass formation, and a peerless force shook the entire Bai Yujing, and the millions of sleeping people in the city all woke up from their sleep, ran out of the house in panic, and looked around nervously.
A clear map of the terrain appeared in front of Gongsun Qi, whose eyes were closed, covering his eyes with two leaves, and chanting words in his mouth.
The center of the eyebrows cracked a little bit, the third golden pupil suddenly appeared, the bones turned in circles, looking around on the vein map, the golden light woke up one of the things that looked like a river, and the loud dragon roar suddenly resounded in the nine skies!
"The twenty-third generation of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Qi, please show up in the dragon vein, choose the one who blesses the luck!" Gongsun Qi's feet unconsciously flew off the ground, floating in mid-air, opposite him, there was a golden dragon head gradually revealing its body, and the position of the waning moon was the golden dragon's pupil.
Obviously, this time is not the best time to summon the dragon vein, the waning moon is only half, and the golden dragon's eyes are also half-open, after hearing Gongsun Qi's words, the golden dragon raised the dragon claw and pointed into the distance, from the ground in the middle of the Tianming Palace to shatter inch by inch, the golden light extended like magma along the rift in the direction it pointed.
King Qin's whole body was loose, and he was sweating profusely in an instant, and the dragon vein did not choose himself, but besieged a certain one.
"I don't know if it's the fourth prince, the crown prince, the queen's mother, or the young swordsman?" King Qin thought quickly, and immediately started the next arrangement, where should he and the iron guards of the capital go.
But the dragon's head twisted his body, and actually got close to the front of King Qin, and spit out a round gold bead, King Qin raised his hands high to take it, and the gold bead was round and hot.
King Qin looked puzzled, but seeing that Gongsun Qi was still casting spells with his eyes closed, it was inconvenient to ask, so he had to hold the dragon ball first and wait for the will of the dragon vein.
The sound of the dragon can only be understood by Gongsun Qi, and at this time he was listening to the extremely clear voice in astonishment, narrating to him: "The dragon soul left with the destined person, temporarily entrusted the dragon ball to the hands of Yuer, with the luck of Kyushu, Wang'er knows himself, and treats all things well." ”
The voice dispersed with the golden light, and it couldn't stop in Gongsun Qi's ears for a long time, King Qin was on the left, Gongsun Qi was on the right, the two of them stared at each other, and Xun Gongcheng was confused.
"What the hell is going on? King Qin doesn't speak, and you don't say Mr. Gongsun, but I'm in a hurry, can you talk about it?"
The waning moon sank down again that day, and the two of them recovered from their trance, Gongsun Qi shouted with joy: "Congratulations to King Qin, this Kyushu is in your hands!" said and pointed to the beads held by King Qin's hands, "This is the dragon ball, the dragon vein said that someone is destined to take away the dragon soul ordered by the king, and this dragon ball will become a supreme treasure that upholds luck, and it will be handed over to you for safekeeping, and the dragon vein chooses you!"
"What!" King Qin was shocked, he thought that the dragon vein would choose a few young juniors, and the most unfortunate thing was that the country would give up to the young man with a foreign surname, as long as he could treat the people well, it didn't matter what the surname of the throne was.
Unexpectedly, the dragon vein chose himself, "What kind of emperor should I be at my age?"
Dragon Ball seemed to be able to feel his emotions, and turned into a hot stream and flew into his mouth on its own, and suddenly King Qin fell to the ground on his back, his gray hair quickly turned black, and his appearance was at least twenty years younger.
As his eyes jumped, King Qin's body underwent earth-shaking changes, and the dragon ball sank into the dantian, bringing him surging vitality and strength.
The dragon head at the height of Tianming Palace, the entire white jade capital city can be seen clearly, and the people who are dazed and unaware of it have knelt down in the direction of the dragon head, bowing their heads.
In their view, this is a sacred and solemn scene, auspicious rain from the sky, golden dragons appear, and the coming year will be a good year of abundant grains.
Liu Xiaoyi, who was riding a horse towards Bai Yujing, suddenly saw four golden rays of light flying rapidly from the sky, and at the same time submerged into his body, the scorching sensation rushed straight to the sea of knowledge, and hurriedly leaned over the horse, trying his best to stabilize his mind.
After his soul was fused with one-fifth of the remnant soul, he always felt the incompleteness of his soul, and he often felt palpitations, and as the four golden lights were entangled with his soul, a feeling of completeness arose in his heart.
The little tiger in his arms drilled out of his head, and his vertical pupils flashed with golden light, which was exactly the same as Gongsun Qi's third eye, and told Liu Xiaoyi what the dragon vein said.
"The king's order has expired, and all the luck belongs to the king of Qin?" After Liu Xiaoyi came over, he was a little stunned when he heard what the dragon said.
Now that the big event has been decided, he approached Bai Yujing with the army, but he just accompanied King Qin to perform a good show.
Liu Xiaoyi made up his mind, handed over the Luhuang Sword, and immediately left with Yu Wenwan and never returned to the capital.
