Da Zhengjing, Yong'an City.

When he was already in the child, the temple was still brightly lit.

The young chamberlain, somewhat uncontrollably, leaned against the pillar and quietly snoozed.

is in the prime of life, but he has already given birth to Huafa early.

The emperor can be the most leisurely profession in the world, or it can be the most tiring profession.

It's all up to the person who sits in that chair to choose.

An elderly chamberlain quietly sent a secret note to the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven held it in his hand, and after seeing that he could not breathe for three breaths, he slammed it on the table, waking up the dozing little eunuch.

Fortunately, this son of heaven has always been tolerant and preferential to his ministers, and even if he saw it, he never asked the little eunuch to be angry.

"Wen Yuanxiang... How could this old thief have changed like this?"

The Son of Heaven then turned his head and asked the old eunuch beside him, "Is it confirmed that the barbarians have not been submitted, and everything is really Wen Yuanxiang's trick?"

The old eunuch lowered his head and whispered: "Although there is no tangible evidence, but the eyeliner from all sides is true... Indeed it is!"

The Son of Heaven slammed his fist on the chair.

"Wen Lao Pifu, how dare you bully like this?"

"Kill people quickly, and put all the relatives and clansmen of the old man in prison in the Criminal Department. ”

The old eunuch suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "The saint can't! At this time, the Marquis of Dingxiang, the Marquis of Longchangbo, the Marquis of Yongding, the Luo family of Hedong, the Bai family of Xijun, the Sun family of Huyou, and the Liu family, as well as many nobles of the palace, have all been sent to the Wanshou Palace. If Your Majesty convicts the old man and sends all his relatives and family members to prison, then... How should these important ministers and nobles who ask for merit from the saints at the same time, and famous families from all walks of life, deal with themselves?"

When the Son of Heaven heard this, it was as if he was suddenly frozen.

Suddenly, all movements stopped, and even breathing became sluggish.

The Son of Heaven sits on the world and is rich all over the world, and the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

This is what he thought was 'real' since he was a child.

The first emperor Xianyou, when he first ascended the throne, he was also full of spirit, wanting to save the decline of the country and return to the grand scene.

It wasn't until the Yuan Shen Zhenren of the Amazing Immortal Sect traveled to the imperial city at night, and a three-foot long sword was hung above the head of the Son of Heaven, that the Son of Heaven suddenly woke up, this world is not really his world.

The reason why he is the emperor of the world is only because those great monks who are high up and seek immortals have no intention of managing mundane affairs.

In the dead of night, ask yourself, he is like the leader in the sheepfold.

Even in the flock, he has a unique majesty, but in the eyes of the shepherd, in the eyes of the sheep eater, he is still just a sheep, there is no big difference.

Princes and nobles, wealthy families, standing behind them, are not those immortal cultivation sects that seem to be ethereal outside the world, but have hidden tentacles that penetrate into all aspects?

After all, cultivation requires a lot of resources, and the prosperity of the sect also requires excellent disciples.

These are all real and ethereal, you need to go deep into the people, into a land, into the deepest part of a country, and then... Constantly, like a parasitic plant, frantically absorbing nutrients.

Until the country was overwhelmed, until the people living here began to fully realize that something seemed to be wrong.

And then... It was under the game and support of those sects that a new country was born in the ruins of the old times.

The anger of the people will also disappear with the fall of the old dynasty.

A hundred years of dynasties, a thousand years of families, and ten thousand years of sects, this is the real reality of the world.

"Hahaha... is a good Wen Yuanxiang, sure enough, it is Wen Yuanxiang, and he really caught the weakness of the widow. The Son of Heaven said angrily that if Lin Xi was right at the moment, he would definitely be able to feast on the negative emotions from the Son of Heaven.

"What about the people of the Heavenly Supervision Division, why didn't they report it?" the Son of Heaven asked in a cold voice, in fact, the answer was already self-evident.

The officials of the Heavenly Supervision Division are actually from the major sects.

Nominally, they were responsible for guarding the imperial city, guarding the Son of Heaven and the royal family.

Actually... Their real role is to monitor the Son of Heaven... Monitor this mysterious 'day'.

For the sect, Wen Yuanxiang can open the trade route to the barbarian tribe, and let the stubborn barbarians open up the treasures in the million barbarian mountains, which they are happy to see.

There are some things that people in the sect have always wanted to do, but they have never been able to do.

The young monk, who entered the million barbarian mountains, took a huge risk in one entry, not to mention the harvest, can only be said to be reluctant.

And if the powerful and older monks enter the Million Barbarian Mountain, but they are as bright and conspicuous as the bright moon in the night, those hidden, sleepy strong people among the barbarians will be awakened and beat them out of the Million Barbarian Mountain.

The Heavenly Supervision Division may have learned the truth about Wen Yuanxiang's (Lin Xi)'s so-called subduing of the barbarian tribe from the very beginning, but he was happy to see it happen, and chose to conceal it and not report it, and sat back and watched the whole lie get bigger and bigger, and finally enveloped half of the country.

The question of the Son of Heaven is destined to be unanswered.

In the direction that the Son of Heaven could not see, there were several people with sarcastic expressions on their faces.

They are the officials of the Heavenly Prison Division... Of course, they are more willing and more willing to call each other only Taoist friends, they are high monks, and they are monks who are beyond ordinary mortals.

Each of them, within the sect, has a great future.

Coming here to be an official is just a secular experience, or a task issued by the sect.

They have never integrated into this great officialdom, and naturally lack the necessary respect for the emperor of Great Zang.

"How many barbarians are there in his hands at the moment?" the Son of Heaven slowly exhaled a long breath, and after all, he still did not delve into the issue of the Heavenly Supervisor.

In the depressing hall, the temperature seems to have warmed up slightly.

"Sage, according to the statistics of a day ago, in the hands of Lord Wen, there are already more than 3,100 barbarians, and under his control, they are well-trained and forbidden, the Liu family in Hedong provides them with armor, and the Shangnao Qu family provides heavy weapons, all of which are ridden by tigers and leopards who have become demons in the mountains. ”

"Rumors... When the army had 1,500 hours, after the Jindan ancestor of the Qu family saw it, he asserted that within a month, this army would roar the world's fierceness. Cold sweat was already breaking out on the old eunuch's forehead.

He didn't know very well when the old man who left the capital had such a skill, and he actually tamed those wealthy families to serve him.

It is more able to take the stubborn, savage, and ferocious barbarians for their own use.

Three thousand well-armed barbarian cavalry, what a terrifying force!

At this moment, the Son of Heaven is full of jealousy in his heart.

His anger was superficial, but jealousy almost drove him mad.

If he had such a barbarian cavalry team in his hands, even if he couldn't compete with the sect, how could those sect disciples, those arrogant and arrogant wealthy families, despise him so much?

"Order, restore the position of Prime Minister Wen Yuanxiang, and be the crown prince, and another... Feng Yongchangbo, fiefdom··· Eight hundred miles of wild mountains, quickly enter Beijing to be rewarded, and take power. After the Son of Heaven regained his composure, his mind couldn't help but come alive.

He began to think about how to restrain Wen Yuanxiang.

At the same time, find a way to take the barbarian cavalry in Wen Yuanxiang's hands into his own hands.

Now that things have happened, there is no way to change them.

It's better to work in a direction that is good for you.

In the city south of the mountain, Lin Xi is training a group of new barbarians who have come down the mountain.

The Son of Heaven was curious about why Lin Xi was able to control the barbarian team and get support from wealthy families from all sides, as if he had no suspicion or reservation.

Actually, the reason is very simple.

The Son of Heaven is the embodiment of feudal thought, a natural centralized man.

Even with the mountain of the sect pressing on their heads, they still thought about how to obtain the true supreme authority.

And Lin Xi is not!

Lin Xi chose to let go of the existing rights and retain his own necessity and functionality.

He took the initiative to let the tentacles of the wealthy family infiltrate into the barbarian cavalry ranks.

Take the initiative to get them to 'hook up' and reach out to the barbarian team, and even the barbarian tribe behind them.

At the same time, he also took the initiative to organize the major barbarian tribes, elected the commanders of the barbarian cavalry team, and even supported and encouraged them, and elected the barbarian cavalry commanders who were believed in by all the tribes.

This seems to be no good for Lin Xi, and it seems to be selfless.

But power is not in the hands of a clenched hand.

Instead, when you spread out your palm, you fall into the palm of your hand.

The barbarian tribes have their own hunting grounds, and when it is bitterly cold, they invade each other, which is a common thing.

It can be said that almost all major tribes have indissoluble blood feuds.

Perhaps a leader they trust together will emerge, but that will be many years away.

And the end result of different forces infiltrating the tentacles into the barbarian ranks is that none of them can take advantage.

There are conflicts of interest and contradictions, and in the end, we still have to go to Lin Xi to seek a 'fair' ruling.

Lin Xi seemed to have lost the barbarian cavalry, which could be called the champion of bravery, but in fact he had gained more power at his disposal and a higher, more secretive status.

The edict of the Son of Heaven came very quickly.

It shows the impatience of the Son of Heaven.

But Lin Xi did not reply to the edict.

He refused to return to Beijing because he was ill.

It's just that the words are not dead, and it seems to show a kind of 'resentment'.

This made the Son of Heaven happy.

So the Son of Heaven asked, pleased, pleased, pleased.

For a month in a row, the envoy of the Son of Heaven ran to the southern border city of the mountain nine times.

Nine call-ups, each one more and more heavy, the promised treatment and promises, also higher than one time.

By the ninth time, Lin Xi finally pretended to be helpless, and could no longer refuse the invitation of the Son of Heaven and the visit of lobbyists from all sides.

Only then did he decide to go out of the mountain, return to Yong'an, and then take power.

It's different from the downfall when you came.

Lin Xi returned to Yong'an and was escorted by barbarian cavalry.

Three hundred barbarian cavalry followed Lin Xi into Beijing, which was also one of the privileges granted by the Son of Heaven, or... One of the conditions of the compromise.

In addition to the three hundred barbarian cavalry, the accompanying monks, warriors, sergeants, servants, maidservants, and so on added up to no less than 5,000 people.

The convoy was long, with a total of more than 100 huge carriages, pulled by armored elephants, and drove heavily to the capital... Yong'an.
