Chapter 1126: Cutting the Mandate of Heaven (Part II)
Taizu Cai Xuan narrowed his eyes, no matter how much the panacea was exhausted, it would be difficult to recover, but the emperor did not retire to Zhishizhi, and it was expected that dying in the post would not be a bad thing for a generation of male lords, so he turned his head to look at Cai Anyu: "Prince, the emperor does not hesitate to choose to let your father bear the responsibility, but also to keep your position as the commander of the fleet...... The third batch of ships will be put into service today, and it is expected that your immortal throne can still serve for half a year, until the fourth batch goes off the assembly line, this time is precious, so you don't have to be distracted by government affairs for the time being, and you will win more heavenly merits for Tude, which will also be of great benefit to yourself......"
Seeing that the prince promised to express his understanding, Cai Taizu said lightly: "It is foreseeable that the Mandate of Heaven will be canceled, the hearts of the people in the twenty-four states of Xiaxi will be chaotic, and the Hou of Tude Prefecture will take the opportunity to become independent, and only recognize the position of the leader of our Cai family, and no longer the monarch and minister." â
Seeing that the prince's face turned red, Cai Taizu smiled coldly: "This is inevitable. â
"However, the leaders of the twenty-six states have some luck and material offerings, which are much stronger than the foundation and income of the Wei, Chu, and Han families......"
"Now that your father bears the blame of the world, you have washed away the stain when you take over as the immortal king, as long as the heavenly merit is enough, and you have grown into an earth immortal, you are still worried that you can't reunite the thirty states?"
Cai Anyu's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and asked: "We have 30 states directly under the jurisdiction of Tude, and the Yunzhou, Zhangzhou, and Fanzhou Dongtian occupied by Ye Qing are only one county where Dongtian is located, and the remaining counties are still in hand, and they were worried that they would be ceded before, but now it seems that the emperor has not chosen to give up an inch of land, or ...... At this time, it is better to give up the suzerainty of the Eight Desolations of Kyushu, which has existed in name only, than to give up the real Tude category, so as to preserve the largest strategic buffer space?"
"You can look at the layout with the long-term vision of the Immortal King, this is very good, and you are worthy of the important task of reviving the Cai family. â
Taizu Cai Xuan looked at this descendant with appreciation, and nodded: "Thick accumulation can be thin, only the six states in the west of the gorge are left in this period, and hard work is both a difficulty and an opportunity for you......"
"Your talent, character, and handling things are very modest, and you are deeply in line with the way of Tude, but even if the six states in the west of the Gorge are under the soil as the emperor, they are also completed step by step with the assistance of the ministers, and the mediocrity is not a bad thing in peacetime, but in the chaos of war, and the King of Wei, the King of Chu, and the King of Han, these heroes are fighting, and they are slightly inferior. â
"Yes. â
Cai Anyu respectfully accepted the order, he just said it on the spur of the moment, but in fact, he also knew that this was the best choice, but his eyes were slightly dim......
His own Immortal Prince, no, has been demoted to the Immortal King with the Mandate of Heaven, and he is a contemporary star of Tude, but this 'new' means weak under the path of accumulation in this vein, and it is far from being able to bear such a heavy burden, or ...... is not strong enough, can't protect his relatives, and has nothing to say when he is sacrificed.
"To become stronger...... the young immortal king said in his heart, his gaze swept to the east, about the outbreak of the risk of going to the earth, it really made Ye Qing material......
This time it was you who won a game, but the Cai Dynasty was demoted to Cai Guo, and our dragon game is not over yet......
...... Due to the issuance of the edict, as well as the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar and the disappearance of the cyan Mandate of Heaven, this vision can be seen by everyone, and there is nothing to hide or conceal, and the astonishing news that the Cai Dynasty has lost its family and demoted the Cai State quickly spread out.
The Mandate of Heaven was cut away, although it still retains the face of the last emperor, but this is equivalent to Wei Shizong going to the grassland back then, only recognizing the last generation and can no longer inherit it.
Suddenly, the authority of the central government was swept away, and it was no longer possible to justifiably order the twenty-four prefectures directly under the jurisdiction of Xiadong.
Coming down from the platform, Sihou felt that his whole body was soft, Da Cai had passed through Zhongxing, and his foundation was thick, no one thought that the court would collapse in one day, so where would he go?
Sihou thought of his dismal business, but his luck was impermanent, and he closed his eyes and pondered, when a scribe paced in, waved his hands and said, "Sihou, why worry deeply?"
At this time, he was able to come in, he was the mastermind, and the weapon was very heavy, Sihou stood up straight, gave up his seat and said: "Sir, it's not the emperor who has collapsed, Cai Ming has gone, and we are anxious!"
The scribe was speechless after hearing this, and only smiled for a long time: "Does the lord want to stand on his own, but he is afraid that Cai Guo will counterattack?"
Sihou was stunned when he heard this, looked out the window, took a deep breath for a long time, and said, "Mr. hit the nail on the head, and that's what Gu is worried about." â
"Lord, you have dragon energy, not a mortal species. â
"And the general trend of the world is like this, I'm afraid that I can't stand on my own. The scribe smiled and said, "Which of the surrounding states is not ambitious?"
"According to me, if the Lord does not stand, I am afraid that he will violate the great taboo of the princes, so why not be suspicious?"
"Oh......" Sihou glanced at him in surprise: "Then what do you say?"
"Exempt the monarch and the minister, worship the lord of the alliance, and pay a heavy tribute!" said the scribe in a sudden manner.
After pondering for a long time, Sihou spit out one word: "Good!"
Almost at the same time, Xiadong directly governed twenty-four states
"What a godsend......
"Enough of blood draws......"
"The emperor has been in poor health in recent years, and he has few years to live, so he doesn't need to scruple about ......"
"Follow the example of the vassal states of the southwest, and no longer directly subordinate ......"
"No, it's not enough to go to the direct subordinates, we only be allies, not vassals...... Because this is the Mandate of Heaven! The Mandate of Heaven wants to support the rise of Immortal Marquis and even Immortal Kings in our states!"
The Tude princes were overjoyed, declared independence, and contacted Cai Guo to change the past monarchs and ministers into alliance leaders, and finally gave some face to the overall situation of the Heavenly Realm......
For a while, only the core and most prosperous and powerful six states in the west of the gorge were not shaken, and the Yujing City was still standing, which has always been the basic plate of Cai Guo.
However, in the productive forces of the traditional agricultural society, this kind of drunken gold and gold and the prosperity of Yujing were finally obtained by drawing blood from the states in the eastern part of the gorge for a long time, relying on coercion, and it was not reliable!
In the past, the three hundred and sixty dragon heads that crowded in the city were actually the gathering of dragon veins in the world.
The Mandate of Heaven was dispersed when the territory was sealed, and the middle and lower reaches of the Qianjing River and the Lingqing River were separated first, but at that time, the six states in the west of the gorge were grasped and the control of the twenty-four states directly under the central government was increased, and the prosperous atmosphere of Yujing City did not fall too much.
Now the twenty-four states directly under the central government have become independent, and the dragon qi that envelops the Cai family's palace has disappeared most of it at once, and the loss of blood drawing suddenly became stormy.
"The dragon qi is reduced by seven or eighty percent, and most of the green qi in the palace is dispersed, which is very ominous. â
The prosperity of the city has lost its support, and the merchants are all panicked, and find it difficult to do business, and now the chambers of commerce in various states have withdrawn their manpower, and most of the ships in the dense sea mouth have also dispersed.
The original requisitioned states have withdrawn a lot, and the node of the Yujing Super Yellow Dragon Great Array has been reduced from 5,000 real people to 3,000 real people, and the elite talents who have gathered in the world and cannot be reused have left Beijing and returned to their hometowns...... The hometown vassal country offered a lot of money to these wanderers who had spent money, and the most important thing was to give real power and position reuse!
This gap, the popularity of the Gyeonggi ground has become a withering phenomenon, prices once soared, all with the abundant and often closed to suppress the accumulation of millet back, three hundred years of thick foundation is not a joke, wash away the glitz of luxury, the food lifeline is not a crisis, but in the future, the economy of Caiguo will be much more ugly.
On the contrary, the strong industrial base is still there, those large and small satellite towns built around Yujing City, iron industry, weaving, grain processing, machine processing, ordnance, fire and thunder workshop, Taoist workshop, shipyard and other industrial chains are well preserved, especially the iron industry controlled by Cai Anyu's mother has been subject to Ye Qing's technological improvement, industrial planning and layout adjustment.
When he got the new financial report, the emperor's face was also very strange, and he looked back at the prince and said: "You, a little friend, had a somewhat unruly temperament back then...... Looking at all the plans that followed, there must have been a backlash, and they will arrange for you to arrange a military industry like the iron industry, instead of other weaving?"
Cai Anyu entered the palace to ask for his resignation, and was about to set off on patrol with the fleet, but he was slightly stunned when he heard it, and muttered: "Ye Qing is this person...... He has always taken the overall situation into account, and there have been many moves to increase the strength of friendly forces, which I also admire, but literally, it may be...... Worried about something happening to our Yujing?"
"Ha, how can it be ......" The emperor laughed, but as if he remembered something, his smile gradually retracted and became condensed: "In the past two years, the Emperor Purple Qi has been here, and with the cooperation of the Yujing Great Array, even if there is an attack by several times the enemy of the Lingqian fleet last time, I will not be able to eat and walk around...... But after two years I went ......"
"Father!" Cai Anyu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Where did Father come from the prosperity of the Spring and Autumn Period......
The emperor waved his hand to stop his words, and sighed: "People have a long life, why should I be taboo, the Taizu has already told me about the end ......of his life, and it is worth it to think that I Cai Yuan will suppress the two generations of Wei and Chu in this life."
"It's a pity that during this great change that has not been seen in millions of years, the situation has changed from the trend of ZTE to the end, and the late season is not guaranteed...... People are dying and their words are good, and the next thing is to fight with the foreign lands, to compete with other families, and the revival of the Cai family in the future can only be expected from you...... I will keep these last two years for you and help you succeed...... You are the immortal king, the next monarch, promise me...... I want to regain my position in the world!"
"Father's ......"
There were tears in the prince's eyes, although it was difficult for the heavenly family to share wealth and wealth, but in times of trouble, the emperor in front of him was no longer the source of danger of thunder and thunder, but just an old man who was approaching his lifespan and cared about the continuation of his family...... This side may remain in ZĂ i's own memories forever.
"Look at me...... Promise me. The old man stared into his son's eyes.
"I promise, whoever wants to stop me from returning to the throne will be my enemy, the enemy of our Cai family......" The prince took a deep breath and looked resolute.
Indeed, the recent situation of the Chu King Jingzhuang has been unified to the soil, not far from Yanghua, and to the Chu State since the Jingguo Dynasty pioneered heroes, in two years it will also be the immortal king, the princes of the new rise and unification of the soil is also a lot, in terms of the general world chessboard, now only the achievement of the immortal road is qualified to compete with the Wei, Chu, and Han families, and the men of the Cai family are only themselves immortals, do not expect themselves to be mortal brothers?
As for women...... For the subconscious of the father and son, there is no need to mention it, and it is useless to achieve it, not to mention that it is estimated that it will not succeed in the short term.
