King Su did not let Shang Qingjun live in Queen Jiang's main palace. Instead, she found another palace and let her live next to Deng Chanyu.

That night, it was inevitable to turn the dragon and the phoenix upside down, so that the king could enjoy the blessings of others.

Early the next morning, the king looked at the shy second daughter, laughed and went to the court of the Nine Palaces.

Coming to the Nine Palaces, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces had already been separated on both sides.

After the king sat down, he spoke: "The lonely king had a dream last night, and in the dream, the four divine beasts appeared in the four directions of Chaoge City. The whole song of the dynasty fell into the sky, and the sky was full of flowers. I don't know which Aiqing can interpret the dream for the lonely king?"

Listening to the words of the king of Dao, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all said that this dream was a good omen. But no one could tell what the dream meant.

In the end, Taishi Yu Yuan stood up and said to the King of Xuan: "The Great King, the Green Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, and the Xuanwu are the divine beasts that guard the four extremes of heaven and earth. With them guarding the four poles, heaven and earth can be stable. ”

"Now in the king's dream, they actually appeared in the four corners of Chaoge City. That means that the king is blessed with all the heavens, and the four divine beasts personally guard these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers for the king. ”

Therefore the dream of the king is a good sign. The minister felt that the king should build the holy icons of the four divine beasts in the four directions of the Song City, so that he could forever town the four sides of the Song City. ”

When the King heard this, he laughed and said, "The Lone King definitely feels that only building the sacred icon of the divine beast is not enough to show its majesty. ”

"The lonely king wants to build four cities in the four directions of Chaoge City, named after the four divine beasts. I don't know what you think?"

Hearing that the king was going to build a large number of buildings again, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but whisper again.

"My lord, now that the treasury is empty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support the construction of the city. Please also ask the king to think twice. Shang Rong opened his mouth and said to the King of Xu.

Hearing Shang Rong's words, King Su couldn't help frowning, and then said, "No money, no money." As long as the lonely king asks for money, you say that there is no money. Then what's the use of the lonely king raising you?"

"King, it has cost countless money to build Lutai and Star Picking Tower now. And now Eshun led the 200 small princes to raise troops to rebel. The money needed to suppress its rebellion is not a small amount. ”

In addition, Liu Bowen of Yaxiang excavated water conservancy, and countless money was needed. So now the treasury is beyond its means. Shang Rong opened his mouth and said to the King of Xu.

"In that case, how about you come to build Qinglong City for the Lone King, old prime minister? The King of Xuan opened his mouth and said to Shang Rong.

Shang Rong was stunned when he heard this, and only after a while did he speak: "King, although the minister has some family assets, it is like a drop in the bucket to build a city. ”

"That's your business, the Lone King doesn't care. The Lone King wants a Green Dragon City, and the scale can't be too small. Otherwise, it will not be able to show its majesty. After waving his hand, King Xuan said to Shang Rong.

Shang Rong sighed and then could only receive the order, and then stood aside with a depressed face and stopped talking.

But the king opened his mouth and said: "Then the old general Huang will come to build Vermilion Bird City, Deng Jiugong will come to build White Tiger City, and Su Hu will come to build Xuanwu City." ”

"The lone king will not let you pay for nothing, after the city is built, you will be the king of the city. The title is named after the four divine beasts. ”

This time, not only Shang Rong was sad, but the other three were also helpless. But he didn't dare to object, so he could only accept the holy decree with a sad face.

The matter of building the four cities has been decided, and the face of the king is naturally full of smiles.

At this time, Wen Zhong said: "King, the harvest of grain is very limited now, if there is another big war, I am afraid that the supply of grain and grass is not urgent." ”

When the king heard this, he said, "What's so difficult about this, the king of Gu will make a holy decree to collect grain from the people, and then there will be no grain and grass." ”

"The king doesn't know that now when the autumn and yellow are not coming, the surplus food in the people's homes is barely surviving. If the grain is forced again, I am afraid that the people will complain. Shang Rong opened his mouth and said to the King of Xu.

After hearing this, the king couldn't help but nodded, and then said: "There are countless wastelands in the world, why not let the people open up the wasteland and farm by themselves." Won't there be enough food then?"

"Spread the will of the lonely king, and call on the people of the world to cultivate fertile land around Chaoge City. The Lone King will provide them with tools and seeds. ”

"Within three years, the king asked them to pay taxes on five percent of their harvest, and after three years, the king only received three percent. Moreover, the cultivated land is directly owned by the reclaimer. ”

Listening to the words of the king of Dao, some nobles immediately stood up against it. And said to the king: "King, if the people are allowed to open up the wasteland at will, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos." ”

"Are you afraid that the people will not rent the land of your nobles if they have their own land? The King said with a gloomy face.

"This world, my king, is the king's world. And the aristocracy is the foundation that supports the king to sit firmly in the world, if the foundation is shaken, I am afraid that the country will be unstable. ”

Random officials of the nobility spoke one after another, asking the king to take back his fate.

Usually, no matter how ridiculous the king is, these people are like clay sculptures and wood carvings. Never speak out against it.

And now that their fundamental interests have been hurt, they have jumped out in a swarm.

The King of Xuan sneered and said, "It's not difficult to let the Lone King take back his life, then it's up to you to solve the problem that the Lone King has no food available." ”

"The Lone King will not let you take more, and each of you will take out a million stone of grain. If you can't take it out, shut up the lonely king. ”

After the king finished speaking, he snorted coldly and turned around and left the Nine Rooms, ordering Wen Zhong to take charge of this matter before leaving.

Kunlun Mountain Biyou Palace

"Teacher, Poor Dao has already found out the cause of the incident. The Lantern Daoist opened his mouth and said to Yuan Shi Tianzun.

"What is it that can make the fortunes of the Great Shang suddenly rise, could it be that the king has done something big?"

"Teacher, Shang Qingjun, who was supposed to be the queen of the Great Zhou. Just yesterday, she became the queen of the main palace of the king of the Emperor. That's why the fortunes of Dashang suddenly rose. The Burning Lamp Daoist shook his head and said to Yuan Shi Tianzun.

"You said that the king of Xuan married the future queen of the Great Zhou, why did this happen, could it be that the heavenly machine had changed?" said Yuan Shi Tianzun with a puzzled expression.

At this moment, the White Crane Boy walked in, saluted to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and said, "Master Zhang, Senior Brother Deng Hua is asking to see you outside the Yuxu Palace. ”

"Tell him to go back and wait first, and now Poor Dao has no time to see him. Primordial Tianzun said to the White Crane Boy.

The White Crane Boy received the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's decree and turned around to leave, but was stopped by the Burning Lamp Daoist.

I only heard the lantern Daoist open his mouth and said to Yuan Shi Tianzun: "Teacher, when the King of Xuan canonized Shang Qingjun as the queen of the Great Shang. This Deng Hua actually sent his blessing in the name of the teacher. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shi Tianzun's face became very cold, and he directly said to the White Crane Boy: "Bring Deng Hua to Poor Dao." ”
