When Zhuang Xun saw King Yu again, King Yu returned to his appearance of being exhausted and exhausted. He was leaning against a large piece of white jade stone with dry grass and wood, and he was as angry as a gossamer.
"Your Majesty." Zhuang Xun saluted forward.
"King Xia You is here? Aren't you in Chengguo?" He reluctantly opened his eyes, and King Yu was pleasantly surprised, and his energy suddenly improved a lot.
"Escaped back..." Zhuang Xun slowly talked about his experience in Chengguo, hiding his underworld dealings with King Cheng.
"Fortunately, fortunately... I'm back after all. Li Pingyuan is your father-in-law, why are you so careless in doing things?"
King Yu was frightened after hearing this for a while. He was originally very happy to hear that Zhuang Xun escaped from the Zhao Kingdom. If what he saw this time was not Zhuang Xun, but the news that Zhuang Xun was imprisoned, he would probably be sent away by this news.
"I'm afraid Cheng Guo also has the will to fight for supremacy in the world. Judging from Li Pingyuan's actions, he is trying to win over Cheng Guo to fight for supremacy in the world."
Zhuang Xun was not sure, because this was the only reason why his father-in-law was so careless, because he and Zhuang Xun were enemies on the road.
"Let's see if he has the Emperor's veins. If the Emperor's Star appears, and if he wants to get the blessing of the Emperor's veins, he can only rely on grafting."
Ge Guoshi told Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun looked puzzled. In fact, he didn’t know much about the Emperor’s Bloodline because he never had a channel to learn more about it.
"The Imperial Vein is equivalent to Heaven giving other monarchs a pass to fight for hegemony, protecting them from the infringement of gods, monsters and ghosts."
"Tiandao feels that those who are ambitious and capable, and have the status to participate in the struggle for world hegemony, can use methods such as usurping the throne before the emergence of the Emperor Star, and competing to be king to gain the country, and then gain the recognition of Heavenly Dao, and obtain the emperor's lineage. It doesn’t mean that there will be a national destiny, but there is a great chance.”
"After the Emperor Star appears, it won't work to connect the small ponds together, because the National Games are like streams flowing into a river. For a country that dies, the National Games will only be given to other people with the Imperial Line, unless special means are used to intercept them. Just like Master Zhou back then, he knew that he could not obtain the imperial bloodline recognized by Heaven, so he seized the imperial bloodline of other countries."
"So unless Li Pingyuan really has the imperial bloodline, it would be wishful thinking for him to usurp Chengguo and obtain the imperial bloodline now."
Ge Guoshi came to the conclusion, and Zhuang Xun nodded half-understanding. That is to say, Dimai is a ticket to get on the train, and it is only a one-way ticket. When you reach the destination, there is no special means. Even if someone gets off the train, others will not be able to get on. .
"Then I don't know. I don't know if the Imperial Master can go and have a look. If you don't have the imperial bloodline, wouldn't it be enough if you have high abilities? Is there any other impact?"
Zhuang Xun has always been taught that the Imperial Vein is very important, but the one who knows that he has the Imperial Vein is the King of Wheels. Others either pretend not to know, or really don’t know, and have no way to give him an answer. Now he meets a Experts, please ask for help.
"No matter how powerful you are, can you resist natural disasters? The imperial vein is the most important object in maintaining the destiny of the country. It symbolizes the imperial power and is given by heaven. It is the carrier of destiny and human destiny. Without the imperial vein, there will be no national destiny. Without the national destiny, there will be four seasons. It’s out of tune, the grain is not abundant, evil spirits are rampant, no matter how powerful you are, what if you encounter such a situation?”
"Then the others will never be able to make a comeback, and they won't even dare to do a coup?" Zhuang Xun felt that this was too terrible. To put it simply, droughts and floods are already serious natural disasters.
Anyone with a bit of scientific literacy knows that artificial rainfall requires water vapor. If there is no water vapor, it will not rain even if the coagulant is sprayed.
Nowadays, society cannot control clouds and rain. This is why he was surprised when he saw a dragon pulling clouds to rain in Zhao State, because it defied physics.
Now the Imperial Vein can actually affect the normal climate of a country. If this were the case, wouldn't it mean that the emperor would never be couped?
"That's not true. The emperor's veins are like this when the emperor's star shines. In a unified dynasty, the monarch's virtue will affect the emperor's star, making the people miserable. The emperor's star will dim, and the monarch will lose such a talisman. All heroes will compete for the throne. In the troubled times of the Warring States, the Emperor's Star has long since disappeared, but now it is about to return to unity, so the Emperor's Star is revealed."
After hearing Guoshi Ge's explanation, Zhuang Xun felt that it was much more normal, so he felt that it was more reasonable.
King Yu felt something was wrong. He felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Isn't it too late for me to pass the throne to King Xiayou? King Xiayou should be allowed to establish himself as king as soon as possible. Have we done anything wrong to hinder King Xiayou's struggle for hegemony?" The world is over."
"That's not the case. King Xia You is at the peak of his imperial fortune at the moment. He is so glorious and so powerful that he is a nobleman from who knows which country."
Ge Guoshi was not surprised. He had already guessed that Zhuang Xun might have an imperial lineage, which was why he showed such an unusual promotion speed and good luck.
Because monarchs protected by the Imperial Lineage of National Fortune are very lucky, even if they are unlucky, they cannot become monarchs. Xuan Nu's request for divination later made him even more convinced, and now it is just confirmation.
When it was King Yu's turn, his eyes widened and he couldn't accept it and said: "King Xia You has the imperial bloodline. Is it recognized by heaven?"
"No, it was inherited from some country, but I don't know which country it is." Ge Guoshi observed the golden flow of luck.
Gold is inheritance, green is God-given, and red is interception, so Zhuang Xun's gold color must indicate that he comes from a certain royal family, and the people in the royal family recognize his inheritance rights.
"Uh, I'm a side branch, I barely made it into the roster, otherwise I wouldn't have come to Yu State to beg." Zhuang Xun laughed to cover it up, this is not a side branch, it's just a tail end.
One of the 1.4 billion people, a speck of dust of the times. Come to think of it, he can only beg here, which is quite fitting for his status.
"Your Highness, please don't say it's a joke. He's so angry that he has a bright future. Is it because of the political struggle that he was exiled to the Yu Kingdom? The golden scales are not things in the pond. They turn into dragons when the wind and rain happen."
Ge Guoshi didn't believe it and said, how could such a golden legend among Wangqi monks be ordinary? Coupled with Zhuang Xun's various previous performances, Ge Guoshi even suspected that Zhuang Xun might be a monarch who fled a rebellion after ascending the throne.
"That was because the fate of You Kingdom was intercepted and the imperial veins were infused, so it became like this." Because he didn't want to talk about the content of the deal with King Cheng, Zhuang Xun changed the location. Anyway, he was the one who destroyed You Kingdom.
"Yes, His Highness is undoubtedly the most suitable king to unify Jizhou at this moment." Ge Laodao did not expose Zhuang Xun and said with a smile.
"I think so too. King Xia You must unify Jizhou, and I am willing to do my best to support it." King Yu became energetic because he knew that he had made the right choice, so he became passionate. Now not only did he make the right choice, he felt grasped for the first time. Despite being in the spotlight of the times, he can still struggle.
"It is my duty to fulfill my duty. Your Majesty is abroad and I don't know the situation in Yu State. Could you please introduce me to me?"
Zhuang Xun asked curiously. He only heard that Donghua and the kings launched a rebellion. He didn't know how it was launched and how King Yu and others responded.
Now that he was about to visit the Yu Kingdom, he wanted to learn about it quickly so that he could make preparations later.
"Nothing, I just want to tell King Xia You to conquer the Yu Kingdom and bring glory to the orthodoxy." King Yu just wanted to throw this mess to Zhuang Xun, and Zhuang Xun became more and more satisfied with it.
Wanshou Yan was able to notice Zhuang Xun at a glance and felt that his temperament was unique. It turned out to be the sympathy of a king. No wonder the dragon aura was hovering above his head. There was a reason for this.
King Yu slowly began to tell, and Zhuang Xun also roughly understood some of the situation.
With Siqin Mi's warning and having a target after the conversation, they did not sit still and waited for death. They took the initiative to transport money and grain and mobilize troops and generals in the name of guarding against the barbarians in the north. They also recruited the personnel that King Yu could still control to go to the north.
These are all normal. After all, shrinking strength to defend is indeed useful. King Yu is still alive now, which also shows that the person he chose is reliable.
"In order to disrupt the political situation of Yu State, I killed all the innocent people in Yu State." King Yu had no special emotions, and his words were calm as if he had killed a dog.
Zhuang Xun didn't pay attention at first, but then he came to his senses and asked, "Kill them all?"
"Kill them all. They are useless to the country. They are all worms. Kill them to relieve hatred. Moreover, most of these people are colluding with the kings. Killing them can also disrupt the rhythm of the kings' rebellion."
King Yu was ruthless and said that he was never ambiguous when it came to killing people and was gentle with Zhuang Xun because Zhuang Xun was a human being, but it did not mean that he had a good temper towards people who were not human beings.
He himself knew very well that he was a tyrant and would not be destroyed or established anyway, so there was no need to be polite to these people, and he would kill them all, leaving no one behind.
"So, Prime Minister Yang, Minister Qian and all these people are dead? There was no resistance?"
Zhuang Xun looked at King Yu in disbelief. He had a new understanding of King Yu's cruelty. He did so amazingly. There must have been hundreds of these officials at least, and they were killed like chickens.
"I organized a Hungry Ghost Festival dinner just when they were preparing to rebel. I put poison in the wine glasses and food of these rebellious officials."
King Yu smiled, one of the few things that made him feel happy. Then he sneered and said, "I gave them an advantage. I didn't chop their heads off or quarter them into pieces. I just fed them poisonous wine."
"Yes, some Lingchi are tolerant to them, but the Yu Kingdom should be in chaos."
Zhuang Xun was a little speechless. A group of senior officials who originally thought to be a roadblock were destroyed in such an understatement, and he was a little sad.
"This is also to pave the way for you. Isn't what you are doing now to wipe out the aristocratic family? These people are basically the heads of the big aristocratic families. Killing them will also cause a struggle for power within the aristocratic family. It will be easier for you to cut them off later. "
King Yu said with concern that Zhuang Xun's current development model clearly meant killing aristocratic families and returning their fields. Small landowners, farmers and military households were happy, but big aristocratic families could not tolerate the creation of this system.
It can be said that Zhuang Xun is reenacting the drama of enmity with hundreds of officials at the Wanshou Banquet. It is also the King of Yu who supports him, but this time the King of Yu is more ruthless, completely regardless of the consequences and the impact.
"But this will cause chaos in the Yu State!" Although Zhuang Xun was grateful, he couldn't help but say that after killing so many people, the families behind them, and the power and power vacuum, the entire Yu State might have been in chaos. .
"If we don't kill them, won't the Yu State be in chaos? They are all rebellious ministers and traitors. Now several kings are killing each other. Can these rebellious ministers and traitors be solved? If they can't be solved, they may even fan the flames. It's better to let them all die, and the Yu Kingdom will be more peaceful. .”
King Yu had no regrets in this regard. He even enthusiastically introduced to Zhuang Xun how he killed people. When it came to announcing the crimes of these people when they were poisoned, he only felt that the emperor of thirty years would truly be the emperor on that day. It's great, I have truly become the master of Yu State, I can kill whoever I want.
Zhuang Xun listened to King Yu describing the crimes of the prime ministers and ministers. Looking at King Yu's happy expression, it was obvious that he had tolerated these high officials for a long time. No wonder he looked so excited. Zhuang Xun was the one who shared his happiness.
"For twenty years, I haven't wanted to kill these bastards all the time. It's really beyond my power. They are all dead now, haha..."
He let out a hearty laugh. He had been enduring the humiliation of the bandits twenty years ago, and he had been enduring it, and now it finally broke out.
He didn't know if any of them accidentally killed people unrelated to the rebel incident twenty years ago, but one thing was certain, that is, he must have killed everyone who participated, so he could make him laugh. A gentleman's revenge would last for ten years. It’s not too late, even twenty years is not too late.
He also had the courage to risk everything, so he was able to do such a terrifying feat. At least King Yu felt that he had achieved this step and had no regrets about his death. He could turn into a demon and sit in prison for a hundred years.
However, he still had a trace of regret, and said with a helpless expression: "It's a pity that their little cubs were not poisoned, otherwise you would be under even less pressure."
"As for this, it's almost done. If you want to be picky about it, then why don't you just inherit the entire Yu Kingdom directly in your hands? You've already done a good job."
Zhuang Xun comforted him and said that he did feel that the pressure was much less. After all, it was easier to clean up the turbulent Yu State.
"Afterwards, I and the Imperial Preceptor and his entourage withdrew from Yindu, escorted them to the Northern Army camp, and then retreated to the north near Hebei County. There was a coup, but I was not here. As expected, the brothers started fighting on their own, and they all wanted the throne. You idiots. , there are enemies outside who are watching eagerly, and they are fighting over a city that has no strategic significance."
King Yu sighed and said, again, if even one of his sons was decent, he would not be able to choose Zhuang Xun. He had already established the candidate for the prince and trained him as soon as possible. Is there any need to be in such embarrassment?
Isn't this because his sons are scrap metal? Fortunately, Zhuang Xun is real gold, and he is the real gold who can resist the temptation of becoming a king in the Zhao Kingdom. He originally invested a wave of money based on the idea of the elders caring for the younger ones.
I am also grateful to the Imperial Master for his persuasion to retain the real dragon Zhuang Xun. Otherwise, Zhuang Xun might have gone to other countries, which would really be a miss.
"There is political significance. After all, it is the capital of the Yu State. I think that if I can occupy Yindu, I will be orthodox. In fact, having military power and financial power, and being supported by others is orthodox."
Zhuang Xun thought about the reason why these people wanted to occupy Yindu, and it turned out that they were really in ruins. So what if Yuan Shu had the jade seal, he didn't become the Skeleton King in the end.
"What King Xia You said is absolutely right. These people can't understand this truth. Is Yindu orthodox? I am also orthodox, the jade seal is also orthodox, and the edict is also orthodox. They are all orthodox. What you need to be a king is prestige and power."
King Yu strongly agreed. The experience of being a king cannot be taught easily. Zhuang Xun said exactly what he thought. Things like name are important, but they are definitely not as important as strength. What can you do if your name is coerced by others' strength.
Because of the behavior of these traitors, he has no intention of becoming a professor. Now that he does such a stupid thing, he can only say that there is no accident, no accident.
"We waited until you, the State of Zhao, escaped, and then we set off from Hebei Road to Jiannan Road, preparing to hand over the throne to Xihe County. I will immediately abide by you, King Xiayou, so that King Xiayou can crusade against others in the name of the king. minister."
Can't wait, the great merit is right in front of him. This time, he must firmly grasp it. It will never be the same as before. If he had the current awareness at first sight and raised Zhuang Xun as a prince earlier, where would he have these things? A mess.
"So soon, at least we have to go to Hengdu. There are a lot of altars there and the ceremonies are sufficient. Xihe County is still too simple."
Zhuang Xun shook his head. He was not prepared yet. King Yu asked him too suddenly. Zhuang Xun's meeting with King Yu was sudden, but now he was asked even more suddenly.
"If I don't take the Zen position, I will go to the west. I have already said that I should not care about external things. I can pass this name on to you. You can use this name to defeat those traitors. That is the most important thing."
King Yu coughed twice and said, it's not that he was pretending to be sick. He had already run out of oil and now he was hanging on forcibly. It was because of this obsession in his heart that he finally made the right bet this time.
"Okay, we will prepare for the abdication ceremony when we arrive at Xihe County." After hearing this, Zhuang Xun looked at King Yu's emaciated appearance and agreed quickly.
He was quite grateful to King Yu, because his purpose of helping him was purely to wish him well. Now that he said it was for merit and to reduce his sins, Zhuang Xun was also grateful to him.
Many of his fellow entrepreneurs always feel that they are God's unique darlings. It is natural for others to help them without purpose, but they do not need to be grateful if others help them with purpose, and they even have to be held accountable.
Zhuang Xun didn't have this habit. If he helped, he would help. He should be grateful and repay when he could. Unless the benefactor had become his enemy, like Mrs. Jiang, who could not avoid conflict even if he retreated, then he would not be soft-hearted.
Now that King Yu is running out of gas, thinking about it, it is all to help him have a good rear environment. How many people opposed his sending troops to Youguo were suppressed by King Yu.
So this was King Yu's request. Of course he agreed and even thought about how to arrange it.
"I'm tired. I didn't hand over the entire Yu Kingdom to you, and you have to get it back yourself." He sighed, partly because he felt helpless that he had lost again, and partly because he really felt ashamed that he didn't teach the entire Yu Kingdom to Zhuang Xun.
There is no way to give in. If you give in to an empty country, you still have people to conquer it.
"It's okay. Didn't His Majesty say that? I can't get along with the family, so we happened to get rid of them through fighting." Zhuang Xun said with relief.
King Yu didn't speak, his eyes were dull.
"I have a request, and I hope King Xia will agree to it, regarding my daughter of the Tang family."
