Five years after Da Qian unified the world, something happened that shocked the government and the public. That was the death of the Queen Mother.
Xu Mochen stopped going to court for this reason and concentrated on handling the funeral of the Queen Mother.
The concubines in the harem and the immortal cultivators and court officials knew the inside story, but ordinary humans did not.
Therefore, the overall atmosphere in the government and the public was one of sadness.
Speaking of which, the Queen Mother made great contributions to Da Qian.
During those troubled times, when the late emperor passed away, it was the Queen Mother who supported the current emperor to succeed him, stabilized the government, and finally gradually unified the world.
Of course, this is history in the eyes of mortals.
In fact, everyone who knows the truth knows that everything is just an arrangement of Shifang World.
Naturally, in Xu Mochen's era, these "history" also need to be compiled and revised again.
The history books left to the human race cannot write about the immortal cultivators.
Xu Mochen still attached great importance to this aspect. He specially summoned the historian and solemnly explained the matter.
Historians are all mortals, and they don't know the inside story. They just feel that the changes in the emperor and court officials in Daqian are a bit strange in the past few years.
However, we cannot write about the emperor's tyranny and his like. After all, the current development of Daqian is obvious to all.
So I can only rack my brains to brag about Xu Mochen.
According to the standards of the times, the Queen Mother's mourning was equivalent to three years of mourning for her mother's death.
But the emperor has to deal with political affairs, and it is impossible to really spend three years in mourning and do nothing.
So usually at this time, it's just a formality, and after the funeral, the whole thing is done.
But no one expected that Xu Mochen really ordered to mourn, and for this reason, he stopped attending court meetings for three years.
It's okay if the emperor doesn't go to court.
So a group of loyal ministers wrote letters one after another with sincere words.
It just involves filial piety, and we can't directly say that the emperor, it's not a big deal if his mother dies, state affairs are the most important thing.
Therefore, every one of them is quoted from scriptures and written in a colorful way.
When Xu Mochen returned to the imperial study, what he saw was a pile of memorials like this on the table.
I randomly picked out a few books and read them, and I actually started to enjoy them.
Tang Derun laughed when he saw him from time to time, and quickly lowered his head and frowned, not daring to say a word.
"This human court official is really different," Xu Mochen sighed, "As for the immortal cultivators, they think that they can subdue ten monsters with one force, and everything they do can be slapped away.
The human race is a lot more euphemistic, but what they say makes sense, and it’s really hard to refute. "
Forget it, he said he was quitting the government, but in fact, there was not much delay in government affairs.
The courtiers here have to weigh how much they are sincere and how much they are fake.
Xu Mochen has to deal with matters in the Netherworld and the Buddhist Realm next, so the human race can only let it go.
Fortunately, political affairs are handled by the general staff of the board of directors headed by Zhao Lingbo, so there are no major problems.
The achievements in governing the country are there. In fact, it doesn't matter whether the emperor goes to court or not.
While he was looking at the memorial, the voice of a chamberlain came from outside, announcing that the admiral of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department was asking to see him.
In Daqian, the rules of the imperial court were not so strict. The Admiral of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division was responsible for the overall security of the capital. It was a very important position and he also had the power of audience.
It's just that Xu Mochen didn't have much interaction with him before.
After all, at that time, his main energy was on the Six Bu Jiu Qing.
He turned to look at Tang Derun.
Tang Derun knew very well about the courtiers. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, these admirals of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division are cultivators of immortality in the Netherworld."
One sentence is enough to represent everything. Xu Mochen understood that what should come will still come.
He immediately asked people to see him.
Not long after, a voice sounded outside the imperial study room door.
"Xu Jie, the humble admiral of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, is here to meet Your Majesty."
Xu Mochen let people in and saw a burly young man.
all of us are
You know what I know, so he didn't turn around and kept staring at Xu Jie: "I heard that the immortal cultivators in the Netherworld cultivate the soul body and soul core. Aiqing is like this..."
Xu Jie chuckled: "Your Majesty, your humble appearance is actually a puppet. I used the magic of illusion to look like a normal person."
Xu Mochen nodded.
Then Xu Jie reported to himself: "I originally planned to hand over my responsibilities to subordinates once the situation becomes more stable in the past two years. Talents are already being cultivated by His Majesty.
Your Majesty can arrange a meeting if necessary. "
These five-city military and horse divisions are in charge of the capital city, have certain military power, and have an unusual status.
Xu Mochen is an immortal cultivator, so of course it doesn't matter to him, but as for future emperors, they will definitely arrange their own people for the position of admiral of the Department of Soldiers and Horses.
Xu Mochen knew what he meant: "Aiqing, there is no need to think too much, it is not something that happens overnight.
Now I am still in control of the whole thing, just take it step by step. "
Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. After expressing his loyalty, he began to turn to the topic: "Your Majesty, I am humbled to see you. In fact, I have something important to report to God."
Xu Mochen signaled to continue.
"Recently, immortal cultivators from the underworld appear frequently in the underworld," Xu Jie presented a jade piece, "There are many conflicts between the two sides.
Since it involves many places, the higher-ups in the humble position are worried that immortal cultivators from the underworld will break through the blockade and come to the mortal world..."
Xu Mochen understood. With a flick of his finger, the jade piece flew into his hand.
His consciousness turned and extracted the information inside.
"You are from the underworld." There was quite a lot of information. Xu Mochen asked while digesting it, "Can you tell me about the underworld?"
Only insiders know the internal affairs best.
For example, Tang Derun, although he knows a lot, he cannot say that he has complete grasp of the deep inside stories and cross-border matters.
This was one of the purposes of Xu Jie's visit. He bowed respectfully and said, "I obey the order, but I will bear with you and explain it in detail."
This underworld is the force of the Netherworld native to the ten directions of Middle-earth.
In the earliest times, it did not become the territory of immortal cultivators.
"The first generation who cultivated his soul body to become an immortal was called the Taiyin Emperor," Xu Jie introduced. "This title is a symbol of the person who currently controls the highest power in the underworld."
There is no eternal life in the world of ten directions, so the title is just inheritance.
"Taiyin Emperor," Xu Mochen nodded, "So, in the beginning, there was no such thing as the underworld."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty," Xu Jie couldn't help but flatter him, "That's true.
The underworld in the Nether Realm initially only dealt with the problems after the death of mortals, not those who cultivated immortals.
In our Shifang world, we need a stable turnover to maintain the number of human beings and the birth of immortal fate in response to the induction of heaven. "
Chi Mobei also said this, and Xu Mochen knew it.
"In the beginning, there were not many immortal cultivators in the Nether Realm." The development process of each realm is different. Xu Jie explained very patiently, "But then there was an era when spiritual energy was thin and unable to ascend.
According to Yunshangjie, abandoning the physical body and cultivating in the spirit mode has been widely recognized.
As for us in the Netherworld, we enter the Tao with our soul body from the beginning and find a new way to solve the problem of spiritual energy to a large extent.
So around that time, the number of immortal cultivators in the Netherworld increased. "
Development coexists with change.
Xu Mochen didn't plan Xu Jie's story.
"Later, during the era of difficulty in ascension, various realms gradually became independent from the mortal world. The underworld and the underworld were originally semi-separated at first, but by that time, the barriers to communication with the mortal world were completely established.
Then gradually, self-defeating immortal cultivators appeared. We found that these people had strong remnants of spiritual thoughts and thought they could be reincarnated and practice cultivation again. "
"Obviously," Xu Mochen sighed, "Shifang World does not allow the dead souls to continue to occupy the top of the pyramid."
Xu Jie chuckled: "So gradually an independent place was created to deal with this type of immortal cultivators, and then people
The number grew and grew, and eventually it became the underworld. "
Xu Mochen frowned: "Once it takes shape, I'm afraid your Taiyin Emperor won't be able to control it."
Xu Jie's expression was also a bit awkward: "After all, it's just inheritance. If there is one or two fluctuations in the middle, it will lose control."
Xu Mochen asked: "Who is the real controller of the underworld now?"
"It's said that he is an immortal cultivator with the title of Pluto," Xu Jie said honestly, "but no one has seen him before, so we don't know what he looks like."
Xu Mochen didn't go into details: "Ai Qing came here just to popularize the information."
"Your Majesty," Xu Jie's attitude was very respectful, "The underworld has always been at odds with us, so that's okay.
Now that it has invaded the mortal world, we are really worried and hope that Your Majesty will pay attention to this matter. "
Xu Mochen glanced at him and said so nicely, but in fact he just wanted to drag him down.
Let’s not talk about Xu Mochen’s strength, but the incident in the world of monsters and beasts made him somewhat famous in the world of Shifang.
The relationship between Tu Dao Xiaoyao Immortal and him is unclear. Ordinary immortal cultivators are not qualified to know about it, but it is impossible for a big boss with a little ability in this realm not to know about it.
So the big guys all looked at Xu Mochen in a different light.
Moreover, no matter what, he played a very important role in the incident in the world of monsters and beasts.
Even if it is a chess piece, it is a dazzling chess piece.
"Okay," Xu Mochen said to him, "You, Emperor Taiyin, probably want me to be involved in this matter."
This seems very clear.
Xu Mochen had a conflict with Heavenly Court, and Heavenly Court wanted to deal with and kill the human emperor.
No matter what excuse or opportunity, in short, the underworld will be the first to jump out.
But there is an underworld between the underworld and the mortal world, so if the underworld wants to deal with Xu Mochen, it must go through the underworld.
But the relationship between the underworld and the underworld is close to opposition. How can they just leave the door open to let their opponents come in and out.
As a result, various frictions occurred.
The underworld is not as powerful as the underworld. Since the incident was caused by Xu Mochen, we might as well let him participate.
"Your Majesty," Xu Jie said with an upright face, "We are all thinking about your Majesty and the mortal race.
This underworld is different from us, it is quite cruel. "
Xu Mochen didn't believe it: "Are you thinking that it would be best to be like the world of monsters and beasts and bring down the entire underworld?"
At this point, Xu Jie just bowed.
It's just that the more simple the game is, Xu Mochen really has no reason not to join the game.
After all, the underworld is indeed here for you.
"That's all," Xu Mochen waved his hand, "I will naturally pay attention to this matter.
But please tell your boss, I don’t have any immortal cultivators that I can command.
Mortals cannot defeat the underworld. "
Xu Jie couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty, the entire realm of monsters and beasts has fallen into the mortal world, they..."
Xu Mochen was embarrassed: "If that's the case, the monster world has no reason to join the war.
Besides, they can't solve their own problems now, so what's the use of just having soul. "
Xu Jie swallowed his saliva and took out another jade pendant: "Your Majesty, this is our special reliance technique in the Netherworld.
Using this technique, you can make souls and the like temporarily attached to other people, such as dolls, to gain a certain amount of time and space for activity. "
On the way, Xu Mochen motioned to Tang Derun to take it over. He took it and looked at it carefully: "It seems that you are very sincere."
Xu Jie nodded desperately: "That's natural.
We and the underworld are basically the result of a fight to the death. If we have such an opportunity, of course we will not let it go. "
"Aren't you worried about heaven dealing with you?" Xu Mochen put away the jade pendant.
"There is no reason," Xu Jie shook his head, "We are originally responsible for blocking the exit of the underworld.
Now it's the underworld's breach of contract,
We still have to appeal to heaven. "
Of course, this appeal is useless.
"Okay," Xu Mochen settled the matter, "Exactly what I want to do."
"I would like to ask your Majesty to go to Danzhou in the south," Xu Jie finally said his last words, "Your Majesty also went there last time.
Although the formation of the Huangquan Hidden Crossing is no longer there, it actually still has an impact on the crossing into the underworld in Danzhou in the south.
So we think that if the underworld wants to break through, where should it start? "
Xu Mochen agreed: "Ai Qing, please go back and recover, I will make arrangements here.
Are there already lurking cultivators from the underworld here in the capital? "
Xu Jie didn't dare to hide it: "The lower-ranking officials are already investigating."
That's it, Xu Mochen knew it well: "In this case, I need to clean up the door of my house first. After the matter is completed, I will naturally go to Danzhou in the south."
When Xu Jie achieved his goal, he bowed and left the imperial study.
Xu Mochen stood up and walked slowly around the room.
After a while, he stopped and said, "Tang Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"
"Your Majesty," Tang Derun asked him, he told the truth, "compared to the secretiveness of the monster world last time, the underworld's behavior this time seems much more upright.
The reasons given were also very sufficient, and Wei Chen couldn't find anything suspicious about it.
Just a little doubt..."
Xu Mochen said "ha": "It's not a small doubt, that's not a small doubt.
The underworld is just one of the ten worlds in the mortal world, and the level of the upper world of the clouds is not even included.
They put it nicely, they suppressed and blocked the underworld, so they were against the underworld.
But doing so violates the instructions of heaven. "
This is the most critical point.
Xu Mochen didn't think that his value as the emperor of the human race would be so great that they would ignore heaven.
I don't think that destroying the underworld and confronting heaven are exchangeable benefits.
"Your Majesty feels," Tang Derun followed his words, "the underworld has other plans."
"Well," Xu Mochen confirmed, "Maybe there are people in heaven secretly supporting them.
On the contrary, the underworld on the front is the real bait or abandonment! "
So, is this local fight part of the final game of ten games?
