For the whole year of the ten years of Shengwu, all countries in the world were silently licking their wounds, but the horizontal and vertical alliances of various countries were very frequent. Under the auspices of You Ziyuan and others, the Ming Dynasty formed an alliance with the Great Jin Dynasty, plus the Dacheng Kingdom, the Xia Kingdom and the Liao State that were broken by the Ming Dynasty. But the Great Zhao side did not show weakness, and the Great Zhao united the Great Yan Kingdom and the Dai Kingdom, plus the Great Liang Kingdom of the silent alliance, and also formed a force that was not inferior to the Great Ming Alliance, and even stronger to some extent.

You must know that the former Yan Murong clan has been developing silently in Liaodong for so many years, and since more than 30 years ago, they have been continuously absorbing Han wealthy families and forces of various ethnic groups, and their strength is much stronger than that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which will only rely on the Yangtze River. Otherwise, he would not have defeated the martial mourning king Ran Min more than ten years later and inherited the inheritance of the Great Zhao State.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty seems to occupy a large territory in the south, but the south of this era is not the south of later generations, there is not much development at all, and only a few places such as Jiangdong are relatively prosperous. And the strength of the Great Liang Kingdom, which has always been forbearing, is also extremely extraordinary, don't think that it seems that Zhang Jun has been very obedient in the past few years, in fact, he has been attacking the Western Regions, and now the entire Western Regions is basically controlled by him. The Western Regions of this era are not a desolate land full of deserts hundreds of years later. The grain output in Dunhuang and other places is not low, and it is a good place to raise horses, so Qianliang is even stronger than the strength of the Ming Dynasty ten years ago. Moreover, they also co-opted the bald Xianbei and the begging Xianbei, and their strength increased greatly.

Of course, the Dai Kingdom in the Great Zhao Alliance is a soy sauce player, but the alliance of Great Zhao, Great Yan and Great Liang Kingdom really cannot be underestimated.

On the other hand, the alliance of the Ming Dynasty, Dacheng and Daxia are the same as the Dai Kingdom, and the Dacheng Kingdom is no longer the most powerful country in the world at the time of Li Xiong, but it was occupied by the Ming Dynasty Hanzhong and Jianmen Pass, and the strength is very weak. Yuwen Xianbei's Liao State is also strong enough, a few years ago, it was almost wiped out by the Murong Family's Great Yan Kingdom, you can imagine how weak the strength is, if it weren't for the support of the Ming Dynasty, maybe they would be the same as in history.

That is, Dajin is such a slightly more reliable ally, how to say that Dajin is also the original boss, the strength and popular support are still there, and with Wang Dao terminally ill, Yu Liang, a hawk who is also talented and has some ability, is still worth looking forward to. But you can't expect too much, after all, the capricious Han regime Chu Yun has seen too much, and the internal friction is too heavy, and many times it may be delayed. Therefore, it seems that Daming's situation is still very dangerous.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is in the land of the four wars, almost in the middle of the world, those who have played Go know that the golden horn and silver edge grass belly, the four golden horns in the world are occupied by the Great Yan Kingdom, the Great Jin Kingdom, the Great Cheng Kingdom and the Great Liang Kingdom, and the Great Zhao, Xia Kingdom, Dai Kingdom, Liao State and so on are all silver edges. There is only one grass belly in Daming, and the land of four battles, all sides are enemies, which is really not a good place.

But although the geographical location of Daming is not good, it is indeed the richest place in the world, so Daming is not completely without opportunities. All countries are sending envoys to each other to fight for their own country's initiative, but Chu Yun, the emperor, has not shown up for a year.

Chu Yun gave the five ministers and the four privy envoys full control of the military and political power of the Ming Dynasty, and he finally made time for retreat.

In a year's time, Chu Yun was able to expand the vitality in his body to the entire dantian, which meant that no matter how much Chu Yun overdrew his vitality, he would not fall back from the heavenly step back to the earth level, and Chu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. The rest is the water grinding kung fu, and after Chu Yun has converted all the internal forces in the eight veins of the Qi Sutra in his body into vitality, then it will be time to advance to the grandmaster.

Moreover, as long as the vitality in one's body is transformed into three percent, then it is the third order of the heavenly order, and then the martial artist can explore the use of the domain, less than this amount, the domain is likely to be unstable, after all, the domain is the martial artist mobilizes the aura of heaven and earth, and builds it according to the rules of heaven and earth that he masters. If you have mastered the fur of the realm, you have officially stepped into the fourth layer of the Heavenly Order. Just like the huge difference in strength between the early and mid-stage of the Earth Rank, there is also a huge gap between the early and middle stages of the Heavenly Rank.

However, the field developed by each martial artist may be different, after all, the rules of heaven and earth mastered by each person may be different, and even if it is the same rules of heaven and earth, the power of the domain may not be the same because of the depth of mastery.

Chu Yun originally thought that if he got the Freedom Living Buddha's Divine Stone, he would be able to master the realm, but he still thought it was too beautiful, this was impossible. However, the spatial ability of the Living Buddha Divine Stone is also an extremely powerful rule of heaven and earth, if it can be mastered, once Chu Yun constructs his own domain, he will also become an extremely powerful existence in the realm. It was much stronger than the psychedelic realm that Chu Yun had encountered in the Boundless Prairie Beast God Graveyard. Space is one of the most powerful rules in the rules of heaven and earth, and it is also one of the most basic rules of the construction field.

Of course, Chu Yun didn't know it now, he was still immersed in his own beautiful fantasies, he was going to find someone to test whether a person could fuse two, or even more divine stones, if it was successful, then he would use the Divine Stone of the Living Buddha of Freedom, and strive to build a realm in the early stage of the Heavenly Rank.

After Chu Yun left the customs, all the giants of the cabinet and the Privy Council immediately paid a visit, and even Chu Yun didn't have time to see his wife and children.

"Your Majesty, the grassland has undergone great changes, Tuoba Xianbei and Bald Xianbei and Rouran jointly deal with the Tiefu people of the Xia Kingdom, Tiefu is retreating and asking for help from the Ming Dynasty, we can't make up our minds, and ask Your Majesty for a holy judgment. After Lu Zhong finished speaking, Chu Yun was a little surprised.

"Where did they come from?" Chu Yun asked.

Lu Zhong and the others immediately replied, the bald Xianbei is one of the six Xianbei departments, just like Tuoba Xianbei and others, but unlike the Tuoba clan, Murong clan, Yuwen clan, and Duan clan, they have not entered the Central Plains until now, so their reputation is not obvious. In addition, the reputation is not obvious, and the beggar Xianbei has now run to the scope of Qianliang's rule, and now he has joined forces with the Qianliang Zhang clan. (This bald Xianbei later established Nanliang, and begging Xianbei established Western Qin)

Of course, Rouran Chuyun has heard of it, it is the overlord of the grassland in the late period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and now is the time to rise, they can be said to be the other part of the Xiongnu, and they did not follow Liu Yuan, Liu Cong and others into the Central Plains, but took root in the desert, and now they have unified the northern part of the desert and began to flourish. They opened their territory to the south and met Tuoba Xianbei, and the two sides fought hard, and Rouran couldn't even beat a ruined Daiguo, and Daiguo saw that the other party's strength was not weak, so he deliberately made friends and united with them.

Whether it is this bald Xianbei or Rouran, they are all raw beards, that is to say, they are not bathed in the light of Han culture at all, they are similar to barbarians, Chongxin The scimitar in his hand and the war horse under the seat have no reason to talk to them. And they obviously want to go south to herd horses, the Tiefu people are their first obstacle, when the Tiefu people fail, the Daming Kingdom that occupies the state will be the first to bear it, so Lu Zhong, You Ziyuan and others will pay so much attention.

"A group of barbarians who drank blood also dared to hope for Shenzhou, and passed on my order, ordering the right army and rear army in the Northern Army and the Five Forbidden Armies to defeat them, remembering that they could not be completely wiped out, and that they should find some opponents for the Tiefu people. In addition, ask Xie Aido to get me some prisoners, I will use them. Chu Yun immediately ordered, Da Ming is worried that he has no opponent to train his troops, and now a few barbarians suddenly jumped out, Da Ming doesn't have to use it in vain.

The Ming Dynasty is not short of war horses, Qinzhou and Bingzhou have a large number of horse farms, and weapons occupy an absolute advantage, not afraid of the so-called grassland people, the current grassland people are not the unified nation that the Central Plains Dynasty oppressed like the Khitan Mongols later, and they have not absorbed the smelting technology and other civilizations of the Han people at all, unless they are like the Jin Dynasty, they have completely crippled their country and cheapened the Hu people, the Han people are not afraid of the so-called grassland people at all, and the Hu people are now simply the dishes in the mouths of the Han people。 Chu Yun was also fortunate to come to the end of the Jin Dynasty, if another hundred years, the Han people would be afraid of the Hu people in their bones, and even the Sui and Tang dynasties were established by the Hu people, and the Han people even did not stand up completely until the Ming Dynasty, it is really sad to think about it.

Therefore, after hearing Chu Yun's order, a few people had no objections, and the current Central Plains people were not soft eggs who were afraid of Hu people like dogs and had no blood at all like in later generations. Why they refused to make their own decisions and send troops to the grassland, it was just that they were afraid that without the permission of Chu Yun, the emperor, they would privately contaminate the military power and make Chu Yun suspicious.

In order to prevent the military power from falling, Chu Yun even deprived the cabinet of military power, established a new department, the Privy Council, and even removed the first assistant Mo Han, it is conceivable that how can a group of smart people like You Ziyuan and Ma Liang make their own decisions again. Although Lu Zhong and others mastered the Privy Council, they did not dare to transfer troops without Chu Yun's consent, and Chu Yun's series of methods were all centralized.

After discussing the matter of the grassland, Chu Yun discussed some of the situation in the world with a few people, and the three strongest countries in the world, the Great Zhao State, the Great Ming Dynasty and the Great Jin, were silently recovering their strength. However, the Great Yan Kingdom and the Great Liang Kingdom were not honest, and the Great Yan Kingdom actually took advantage of this time to attack the countries on the Korean Peninsula, and also won a great victory, defeating Goguryeo and losing one-third of its territory, and the strength of the Great Yan Kingdom increased greatly. Originally, the Great Yan Kingdom peeked into the Central Plains in history, but now the Ming Dynasty and the Great Zhao are not easy to mess with, so they can only retreat to the next best thing and bully North Korea.

And the Great Liang Kingdom is not honest, they not only annexed the entire Western Regions, but also wooed the beggar Xianbei and the bald Xianbei, and their strength increased greatly. This bald Xianbei and the bald Xianbei on the grassland are of the same species, not only the bald Xianbei in the territory of the Great Liang Kingdom accepts the Han culture, but the sinicization is very serious, and the part of the grassland is unwilling to be sinicized and split out.

With the support of the two Xianbei, Da Liang Guo was ready to move again, but Da Ming didn't have time to deal with them now, so he could only order the Zhengxi Army and Zhenxi Army led by Yang Ye and Zhao Hao, who had been transferred to the Western Front, to deal with it carefully.

"Your Majesty, Fu Hong has been loyal to His Majesty for many years, and he has always been loyal, and this person has good ability and excellent reputation. After talking about foreign affairs, everyone began to discuss the government, Chu Yun sighed that there were too few capable people, and You Ziyuan opened his mouth to recommend.

As soon as You Ziyuan finished speaking, Ma Liang also spoke: "Your Majesty, Yao Yizhong is upright, he is a clean up official, and he is deeply loved by the people, he has served as a county guard in Wudu County for seven years, and his achievements are obvious to all, why doesn't Your Majesty reuse his people?"

After hearing this, Chu Yun remembered these two guys, one of them was the leader of the Di people, and the other was the leader of the Qiang people, after Chu Yun occupied Qinzhou, they were forced to take refuge. But Chu Yun has never reused them, back then they sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, making Chu Yun and Shi Hu desperate, and they didn't help, which was one of them. The second is that Chu Yun is jealous of the two of them, after all, Chu Yun remembers that their descendants are all people who claim to be the emperor and founded the country, and Chu Yun has always been on guard.

However, after so many years, they have long since integrated into the Great Ming Kingdom, and they have not shown any rebellion. It's just that gold always shines, and the two of them, who are famous in history, still show extraordinary.

Chu Yun was still a little entangled, but after thinking about it, current events create heroes, they have no chance, and it is impossible for them to rebel, after all, the Di and Qiang people under their command have become the people of the Ming Dynasty, and those Han people are no longer separated from each other, they are all Chinese people. It was a waste that there were no people under him, no threat, and two people who were very capable did not use them, so Chu Yun nodded.

"Pu Hong is proficient in military affairs, Yao Yizhong is known as a virtuous person, since this is the case, let Pu Hong serve as the former commander of the five battalion forbidden army, and Yao Yizhong will let him serve as the secretary of the ministry, and their qualifications are enough. After Chu Yun finished speaking, several people received the order.

"In addition, Wen Qiao's guy has been idle for several years, Dajin and Daming have formed an alliance, and they are not considered hostile countries, let Wen Qiao serve as the secretary of the military department, this man is both humanistic and martial, it is really a waste to do so, and let him serve as the deputy privy envoy of the Privy Council and participate in military affairs. Mo Aiqing, you do this, I only look at the results. Chu Yun looked at Mo Han, and Mo Han nodded to accept the order.

In this year's time, Mo Han was not at all abnormal, Chu Yun sent Qingfeng to personally monitor him, he was still as diligent in state affairs as before, but Chu Yun still had a problem with him in his heart, and he still secretly monitored him.

After dealing with the business, Chu Yun had time to return to the harem, and when Chu Yun advanced to the Heavenly Rank, the Demon Source Murderous Qi had almost never been cultivated, so there was no need to find a woman to vent the side effects in his consciousness, so he suffered from these women of his own. Chu Yun basically hadn't touched them for two years, and even many women hadn't seen him for a long time.

There is no way for Chu Yun to do this, after all, cultivation is lonely, since Chu Yun has advanced to the Heavenly Rank, his life has reached a thousand years, so a few years of retreat is the same as playing, but these women only have a lifespan of several decades. Even Chu Yun had never touched the two princesses from the Great Jin, and I had to say that Chu Yun was likely to delay others for a lifetime.

Chu Yun's return caused a sensation in the entire Daming Palace, and the concubines with status all visited Chu Yun directly, while those without status were looking forward to it in their respective palaces. Chu Yun thought about it again and again, and decided to meet Wang Guifei and Liu Guifei first, how to say that they were also the highest-ranking women in his palace, and helped him take care of this huge harem.

Chu Yun spent a few days comforting this group of poor women, well, after all, Chu Yun had not reconciled yin and yang for a year or two, and he couldn't hold it back. Then he plunged headlong into the heavenly prison, Chu Yun still remembered that Buddha Tucheng was able to fuse two divine stones.

For two whole months, more than a thousand people died, and Chu Yun didn't experiment with how to make a person use two divine stones at the same time, ordinary people have no problem using one divine stone, but if they were given a second one, then this person would be blown up into ashes with a bang.

"Could it be that their realm is not enough, and they can only use it above the ground level?" Chu Yun said to himself as he looked at the scrapped test items in the late stage of this realm in front of him.

"Come on, give me a good look at them, and if something goes wrong, all the nine clans will be destroyed. Chu Yun said to the guards of the Heavenly Prison. He is going to train these guys to the ground level, and then see if he can fuse the divine stone, and raise the ground level martial artists as guinea pigs, it is estimated that only Chu Yun will be left.

Chu Yun may be the person who has the most divine stones in this world, he now has a total of thirty-seven divine stones, not counting the three pieces that Hu Tiezhu, Qingfeng and Liu Dog can get their hands on at any time, this is half of the divine stones in the world, you must know that there are only ninety-nine eighty-one divine stones in the entire world. Chu Yun was going to cultivate these experimental objects to reach the ground level, and then try to see if they could be fused. Of course, Chu Yun also wanted other methods, such as arresting Fo Tucheng's apprentice Dao An back, and Fo Tucheng should tell his apprentice about the fusion method. But the world is so big, who knows where that kid went, he is not the master of the Divine Stone now, and Chu Yun has no way to determine his location. Moreover, the little monk is now in Da Zhao's territory, and Chu Yun doesn't have the heart to go to the enemy country to wander around. So I had to explore it slowly on my own.

Chu Yun in the harem doesn't want to stay longer, to be honest, men envy the emperor's three palaces and six courts, but when they really become emperors, they know that where do these women in the harem have any love for themselves, and even if they do, they will slowly disappear with the passage of time, and they pay more attention to who they will pass on the throne to after their death. Even if there are only two men in Chu Yun's harem, this situation is obvious, those women are divided into two factions to fight each other, and even when they are by their side, they also inquire about their own thoughts openly or secretly, Chu Yun gets along with them, except when he does that kind of thing, the rest of the time is a tired.

One of the two sons was born to the princess of the Murong family, and the other was born to a concubine of the Han people, the eldest was ten years old, and the younger was eight years old, and the two of them had already learned to compete for favor at a young age, and Chu Yunxin was even more tired. They didn't know that Chu Yun had already chosen an heir, how could an heir who had been cultivated in the ivory tower be better than an heir who had come step by step from the grassroots level?

Chu Yun shook his head and stopped thinking about these troubles, he still liked the kind of life in the Xianwu Continent, as long as his strength was strong enough, he was not afraid of betrayal by his subordinates, so it was not a joke for one person to top a million troops.

Chu Yun is ready to continue to transform internal force into vitality, and in addition, Chu Yun also wants to explore the use of heaven and earth aura, although his strength is stronger, but the more he feels that there is not enough time. Chu Yun chose to retreat again.
