Dachu, the capital.
Jinling City.
Ten miles away from the Qinhuai River, there is a land of golden powder from the Six Dynasties.
In the world of Dachu, Jinling City was more than just the capital of the Six Dynasties?
Moving forward from Dachu, the previous dynasties such as Dawu, Dayue, and Dajing all had their capitals in Jinling.
Today, Jinling has long become the most prosperous place in the world.
Here, there is no distinction between day and night.
Whenever night falls, thousands of lights will rise throughout Jinling City, and the stars will illuminate Jinling City as brightly as day.
This is a city where the sun never sets.
Paradise on earth!
Compared with the city of Yanjing, the northern capital, which was responsible for guarding the country's gates, Jinling undoubtedly felt a lot more extravagant.
The smoke cage is cold, the moon is caged in the sand, and I stay in Qinhuai at night near a restaurant.
The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river.
Although this poem does not exist in this world, it is not inconsistent at all to use it to describe the ten miles of Qinhuai in Jinling, the great Chu.
Refugees are everywhere in the north, the White Lotus Sect is in rebellion, and the Tunu slaves on the grassland are about to invade.
But on the Qinhuai River, there was still singing and dancing, and people were drunk and dreaming.
Boat after boat is wandering on the Qinhuai River, and the sounds of singing and dancing of orioles and swallows float out from time to time.
On the shore, suddenly several groups of servants in green clothes and hats came looking for him in a panic.
"Master Hou, where is my Master Hou?"
"Ladies, hurry up and call my heir..."
"My lord, where are you? His Majesty has summoned you. Please come out quickly."
"Master, something big happened."
Amidst the shouts, a few drunken heads or disheveled figures popped out of the boats.
When they saw that it was their own slaves who were looking for them, and His Majesty Yan called for them, they all got excited, and most of their drunkenness was frightened away. They quickly changed their faces and shouted at the boat to move towards the shore.
For a time, the Qinhuai River was very busy.
When this group of dignitaries and nobles stumbled ashore, only chicken feathers were left on the Qinhuai River.
This made the madams of various boat houses sneer in their hearts.
He secretly scolded the emperor in the palace who only cared about cultivating immortals and ignored government affairs for ruining his own business.
An hour later.
Jinling Palace, inside the Wende Hall.
All high-ranking officials, nobles and generals were present.
But...the emperor who summoned them was still missing.
The civil and military officials didn't think there was any surprise.
This is the current style of Emperor Baode, and they have long been accustomed to it.
Immediately, all the civil and military officials knelt down and waited patiently, looking at their noses and hearts.
About an hour later, the legs of all the civil and military ministers began to feel numb from sitting down.
finally.
"Your Majesty is here!"
The sharp and shrill sound of the eunuch singing resounded in the Hall of Wende.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Baode, who was wearing a linen Taoist robe, with disheveled hair, and wooden clogs on his feet, with a bit of a crazy attitude in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, walked up the steps with lazy steps and sat in the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, your majesty has the celestial spirit and the posture of a luan and a phoenix. He is soaring in the daytime and is just around the corner!"
All the ministers saluted and praised Tao.
There is no shouting "Long Live the Mountain" or "kowtow or kneel down" or anything like that.
Some are just... nondescript tributes.
Emperor Baode, who was sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly smiled, and his already rosy face became even more rosy.
"Okay, okay, I would like to borrow your kind words from all of you. If the day comes for me to ascend in the daytime, I will never forget you, and I will definitely take you with me to ascend to the fairy world."
He looked cheerful, and now he had even put aside most of the sadness he felt after hearing the bad news.
The ministers saluted again.
"Your Majesty's grace, I will deeply appreciate it."
For a time, the atmosphere in the hall was surprisingly good.
The monarch and his ministers are in harmony, and the harmony is incomparable.
Prince Xiang Yu, who was ranked first among the ministers, secretly glanced at his father and saw that his father was beaming with joy, and felt a little sad.
Father, Father, Shangxi County in the north of the Yangtze River has been conquered by the White Lotus Demon.
A fire burned down the entire city and killed countless Guizhou leaders, but you are still here thinking about ascending in the daytime?
Father, you...hey!
Prince Xiang Yu wanted to give advice.
It's just that he has a tolerant and weak temperament and is deeply brainwashed by ethics.
The sage said that a son will not tell his father of his faults.
How could he speak out in front of the ministers and prevent his father from coming to power?
That's all, at best, you can work hard alone and try your best to deal with the aftermath for your father.
After puckering his lips, Prince Xiang Yu lowered his head deeply and did not dare to stand up and speak after all.
On the other side, the third prince Xiang Yan was also peeking at Emperor Baode.
There was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
Old guy, he's still here looking forward to ascending in the daytime, haha.
That's fine, just slowly cultivate your immortality.
Let the lonely king control this great country for you.
After the lonely king gets rid of the prince, this big Chu will be decided by the lonely king.
Xiang Yan's ambition continues to grow, and now he hopes that Emperor Baode can live a few more years and make the country of Chu worse.
As for the corruption of the country, will he get a mess after he ascends the throne?
Xiang Yan didn't care at all.
He was thinking about that position, and it was never because he wanted to be the emperor.
He is taking revenge!
If possible, it might be more to his liking to bring the entire Chu State to destruction.
"Your Majesty."
After Emperor Baode calmed down in the dragon chair, he spoke.
After a slight pause, he considered the words.
"Today, I heard some terrible news. It said that some county in Jiangbei... was attacked by the White Lotus demon."
Emperor Baode seemed unable to remember the name of a small county town.
After thinking for a while, I still couldn't name it, so I could only use some county to refer to it.
His words trailed off.
In the originally quiet hall, bursts of low shouts suddenly came out.
The White Lotus demon conquered the county?
So...the White Lotus Sect started causing chaos again?
For a moment, all the ministers in the palace were surprised and angry.
Although most of this group of people did not take the country of Dachu and the leaders of Guizhou of Dachu seriously.
But when it comes to the White Lotus Sect, it's different.
The White Lotus Sect is their natural enemy.
Even if other people replace Da Chu, most of them will win over them and it is unlikely that they will be killed all.
After all, how can we govern the world without them?
But the White Lotus Sect is different.
That's the demon who came specifically to revolutionize their lives.
The class between the two is naturally incompatible.
"Your Majesty, Demon White Lotus is very ambitious and specializes in rebellion. He has caused great disasters."
"I suggest that we must kill all the White Lotus demons without letting any one go."
In the queue of civil servants, a white-haired veteran who was first in line stood up and came out to play.
He was the leader of the princelings and the first civil servant in the Baode Dynasty.
Xiao Zhengliang, the prince's grand master, Qixiantai, in charge of all matters, supervises government affairs and military affairs.
Xiao Zhengliang is not only the teacher of the current prince, but also the prince's tutor to Emperor Baode.
His prestige is so high that no one in the government or the public can compare with him.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the officials immediately followed suit.
For a time, the Wende Palace was full of people who wanted to vigorously suppress the White Lotus Sect.
The Third Prince Xiang Yan couldn't help but clenched his fists.
There was a hint of jealousy in the eyes he looked at the prince.
If... if Xiao Zhengliang was his teacher, why should he be so cautious and patient?
It's a pity that this veteran minister belongs to the prince, so he is naturally hostile to him.
Xiang Yan took a deep breath, calmed down his expression, stepped out of the queue, and bowed to play.
"Your Majesty, I also recommend that the White Lotus Sect be suppressed by force."
When the third prince expressed his stance, his followers also hurriedly stood up and echoed him.
The princelings and the three princes, who were already fighting fiercely in the court, surprisingly maintained the same attitude on this matter.
Suppress the White Lotus Sect!
