"Huh?" Zhuang Xun reacted as he seemed to understand but didn't dare to confirm.
"Have you forgotten, Young Master? Your enthronement edict did not say who the queen is, and it did not even determine the order and position of the concubines. If you canonize the queen, it will naturally make the jade pendant invalid."
King Lun Lian laughed and was happy to see the result. He was the one who arranged the marriage between Zhuang Xun and Si Qin Mi. When Zhuang Xun came to ask, he naturally preferred Si Qin Mi.
"Well, I made a mistake." Zhuang Xun apologized to Si Qinmi. Logically speaking, the imperial edict should mention this, the reign name, the queen and concubines, and so on.
But, when there was an earthquake, there was no follow-up. I thought of disaster relief, and after praying to heaven, I took the first edict and went to disaster relief.
There is no follow-up, because the Chengdie Pass collapsed, and military work is more important than anything else. From the series of taking over Yindu, there was no time for Zhuang Xun to think about this problem anyway. Now that the king of rotation has mentioned it, Zhuang Xun can really react. .
Heng are all old people who have changed dynasties. They still use the establishment of King Xiayou to issue orders. Si Qinmi still carries the name of queen. Now that Xiayou Kingdom has been replaced by Xia Kingdom, she also needs to be canonized.
"What are you talking about? I understand what happened at that time. It is normal for your majesty to be late. Even palace concubines will be protected by the emperor."
Si Qin Mi looked at Zhuang Xun, who still had no airs even though he was the emperor. How could he blame Zhuang Xun for admitting his mistake in front of outsiders?
A little girl would overbearingly think that you don't take me seriously and throw a tantrum, but Siqin Mi is already an adult. She just thinks that Zhuang Xun's approach is flawed and it's not her turn to get angry.
After all, the first edict was used for disaster relief, but the odds were not good. The disaster was also closely related to the enthronement ceremony. It seemed like it was to make up for a sin. The monarch could not admit his mistakes in front of his subjects, otherwise he would lose his authority.
The question of whether to canonize her is not very critical, because Si Qinmi has even considered abdicating the throne in favor of someone worthy of his title, so it is not a big issue.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you Emperor for your advice. Xun will remember it." Zhuang Xun did not argue with Siqin Mi. He just held her hand and thanked the Lun Zhuan King.
"Speaking of which, I have received so much help from the emperor and have nothing to repay, so I would like to build a golden body with the emperor and offer incense." Zhuang Xun took the initiative to ask as he was embarrassed to trouble the king all the time.
"No, no. The purpose of immortals and Buddhas to appear as saints in the human world is to set a standard and lead people to do good. Are there still people in the world who don't know the name of the underworld? As I said before, young gentleman, if you can manage the country well and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, that is Give me the best reward."
The King of Wheels shook his head and refused, not only to make the world know about the existence of gods, but also to make them ignore the existence of gods. It is a good thing to persuade people to do good, but the rules of the world themselves do not require everyone to be good.
There may be some contradictions. The general understanding is that raising voodoos does not breed the most ferocious and fierce voodoos. Instead, it selects a group of good and evil deities who can eventually become transcendent beings.
"Understood, we are doing it, people-oriented, the common people first." Zhuang Xun said frankly. He could say this with confidence because compared to those anthropomorphic creatures, he was really considerate of the people.
There is still exploitation, he admits, the prerequisite is that the people can survive and have enough food and clothing, even though the level is not particularly high.
After all, industrialized countries have to tackle extreme poverty, and Zhuang Xun can only do his best to ensure that the interests of the country and the interests of the people are unified.
"That's good. You will get more help from the Tao. As long as Shaojun walks on the right path, there will be more and more gods like the Twenty-eight Stars, and they will support Shaojun overtly and covertly. This is the royal way."
The King of Wheels said with satisfaction that many immortals are not only good people, but also idealists, and Zhuang Xun is very appetizing to them in some aspects.
"There are not that many. At present, there are only seven Western constellations. There is no news about the other twenty-one constellations. I don't know if they can be completed. There are too many feudal countries in the world, and my place is only one of dozens of countries."
Speaking of the Twenty-Eight Souvenirs again, Zhuang Xun quickly explained that he was currently optimistic about the Western Seven Souvenirs, and there was no news about the important Xinyue Fox.
"Sooner or later, Shaojun's reputation among the gods is very good, but he is currently at a critical point, making the gods dare not bet easily."
The Wheel King said with confidence, but his expression was a little helpless, as if he had thought of something and hesitated to speak.
"Can you tell me what the key points are?" Zhuang Xun was full of curiosity. After all, it was about him and he wanted to know.
"The first is that King Jing of Jing State is about to die, and civil strife in Jing State is about to break out. Everyone is waiting to see how Zhao State performs and whether it can get rid of the obstacles and unify Yuzhou and complete the escape from the trapped dragon."
"The second is that Shaojun's power is still a bit weak. Jizhou has not been unified, and even Yu State has not completed its occupation. There are also problems with its strength."
The king of rotation discussed the matter and pointed out Zhuang Xun's current shortcomings. By the way, he also mentioned the worries of the waiting gods. After all, Zhao Guo has the advantage now and is obviously more profitable.
"Strength? There is indeed a gap compared to Zhao State. It is too close to Zhao State. I have not unified Jizhou yet. It is normal for them to wait and see." Zhuang Xun nodded and said with understanding.
"It's not a comparison with the State of Zhao, but a comparison between your own strength, Shaojun, and that of other countries. Shaojun, have you encountered any tough battles so far?"
The Wheel King straightened his face and said, his expression became serious, and asked Zhuang Xun to recall the war he had experienced.
"Uh..." Zhuang Xun recalled carefully. If there were occasional tough battles in dangerous situations, it seemed that there were none.
Usually they either surrender or give way. The rebellion of the noble family is like a small fight between countries and cannot be brought to the forefront.
"Not even one. Most of Shaojun's current land was obtained by the surrender of the enemy. The immortals don't know how strong Shaojun is, so naturally they don't dare to place bets easily. If Shaojun fights against Chengguo, he will lose. , which is difficult for them to accept.”
The King of Wheels spoke the thoughts of the immortals and concluded that Zhuang Xun currently faced two reasons for not continuing to bet on the gods, external and internal. Externally, there was Li Pingyuan who was eyeing him, and internally, he did not know the combat effectiveness of the army.
"Do you want to prove it to them?" Zhuang Xun frowned. If he wanted to prove his strength, the best way is to have a fight.
"That's what I mean. Be prepared to deal with Chengguo this time. At least let everyone see your hope of unifying Jizhou. Otherwise, the other kings of hell will not be so easy to convince."
The king of rotation has already chosen his opponent, and he will have to argue with Cheng Guo no matter what. The obstacle to unifying Jizhou is an example of Zhuang Xun's ability.
"I understand, but the military may not necessarily follow your ideas, Emperor. The lives of soldiers are also lives. We cannot give up other ways to seize the country based on strength."
Zhuang Xun said understandingly, and then replied that soldiers must go through life and death for the sake of the emperor's cause and the restoration of the world's unification, but it cannot just be for the sake of face. This is also Zhuang Xun's bottom line.
"It's not what you think, Shaojun. I just hope that you can win the military and let everyone see that you will not be easily destroyed, Shaojun. I am not doing something to influence the decision-making just for the sake of face. Wouldn't that undermine my merits?" , mainly to remind Shaojun that it’s time to reorganize the army and deal with Zhao Guo.”
The King of Wheels waved his hand, knowing that Zhuang Xun had misunderstood. He was also satisfied with Zhuang Xun's benevolent attitude. At the same time, he told Zhuang Xun at the foot of the stairs that the original intention was the same, just to give the watching gods a determination.
"And what Shaojun said is right, the people are the foundation. The gods who support Shaojun now see Shaojun's efforts in this regard, so they do their best to support it. The situation of Zhao Guojingguo can only wait and see, Shaojun, please Just keep accumulating the steps.”
"I also know that my wife and I will continue to work hard. I also want to thank my wife. It was me who had this idea and she helped me realize it."
Pulling Siqin Mi in front of him, this is not his one-man show, Siqin Mi's role is crucial, and this is also a way of thanking the King of Wheels for betrothing Siqin Mi to him.
After changing the topic, Lun Zhuan Wang asked him to go down the steps. Zhuang Xun decisively stopped talking and walked down the steps.
"Without His Majesty's unconditional trust, I can't do anything." A woman will look good to please her, a scholar will die to be a confidant, and it is difficult to repay a favor with a ring and a knot. Zhuang Xun did his best to recognize Siqin Mi in all aspects.
"No, obviously..." Zhuang Xun wanted to say something else, but he was embarrassed when he saw the happy smile of the Lunzhuan King. The concerned smile of looking at the juniors made him realize that this was not the place for him and Si Qinmi to show their affection to each other. .
"It made the emperor laugh." Zhuang Xun handed over his hand again. He was embarrassed to say that he should keep his affairs with Siqin Mi private and make a joke in front of the King of Wheels.
"No, I'm quite happy to see Shaojun and his wife like this. I seem to have some Yue Lao talent, but it's a pity that I came to the Yin Division."
The King of Wheels joked, bringing the two parties closer. As a matchmaker and marriage seeker, the relationship suddenly became much closer when he said this.
While Zhuang Xun and Lun Lian Wang were engaged in family affairs, in the Netherworld, Xuannv was playing with the Flower of the Other Side and looking at the world of monsters and monsters Lu Li, which was strange yet familiar.
In the celestial world, underground is the netherworld, which is also the so-called demon world. Unlike the pure world above, the world below is vicious and fierce.
The sun is covered in blood red, and the faint red light is like blood, which nourishes the growth of thousands of monsters. It is a place where monsters can escape.
The blood light was blocked by Xuannv for three feet, and was replaced by another kind of freshness and brightness within three feet, so she could stroll around like the sun.
The delicate Bianhua flowers were inserted into the jade vase. Xuannv admired the endless sea of flowers, and then stopped and waited, holding the jade vase with a solemn treasure.
She was waiting for a summons from a certain Supreme Being. The message for her visit had been sent out and she was waiting for the other party's response.
The soft wind blows down the sea of flowers, like waves, a crack opens in the earth, the jade steps extend downward layer by layer, the light of night pearls disperses the blood light, and the earthy yellow decoration is thick and simple.
Xuannv naturally walked down the stairs slowly, without using magic to speed up, to express her respect for this supreme being. Time was both meaningless and meaningful to them. The road was neither long nor short, and they came to a treasure pavilion.
Xuannv walked inside in a familiar manner, and she heard the Supreme's teasing before she even entered the palace.
"Qingluan'er, you have to give me a bouquet of flowers every time. You're really not particular."
The voice is slightly old and heavy, yet somewhat natural and comfortable.
Xuannv entered the palace and saw a woman in her fifties standing at the door, with kind eyes and kind eyes. She nodded slightly to welcome her.
"After all, Empress Houtu, you don't cultivate many flowers, and I always feel happy when I see her." Xuannv smiled and saluted Houtu.
That's right, this old woman is the only supreme being in the world, the emperor, the queen of heaven, and the master of the laws of heaven and earth.
"Take my position, this sea of flowers will be yours, and these palaces will also be yours." Empress Houtu pointed at the magnificent palace.
"Your Majesty wants to see the scenery outside, and I want to see it too. Let's look for someone else." Xuannv held her hand on the jade bottle and bowed her head.
"Slippery, I have no choice but to find someone else. Don't regret it." Empress Houtu hummed and sat down on the throne.
With a wave of her hand, there were delicacies and Liquan fruits on the table. Xuannv also sat aside, wondering why the usual fairy was not there.
"Stop coaxing me, empress, I'm tired of staying here. I want to see how wonderful the outside world is, see more ways, more worlds."
Xuannv's words were all about evasion. She didn't want to accept the opportunity of being the next Hou Tu, because she was already ready to transcend.
"Are you so confident? Will you be able to help Zhao Guo pacify the world?" Empress Houtu drank the glass in one gulp, then put down the glass and sighed at Xuannv's confidence.
"Without your intervention, it would have been a certainty. No one in the world could compete with Zhao." Xuannv expressed her determination and tested at the same time.
Today's visit to Queen Houtu, the first purpose is to find out what happened after the earthquake, whether it was a coincidence or man-made, and whether Queen Houtu had any plans to end it.
"Are you talking about the earthquake in Jizhou? I intervened, but the effect seems not as shocking as the snow they made."
Empress Houtu admitted generously, and Xuannu's eyes suddenly became sharp, like a bird of prey hunting. She wanted to question something, but she swallowed the words as they came to her mouth.
"Don't be so scary. I just like Zhuang Xun. His prayer edict was burned to me. I read it with sincere words and enthusiasm. I also looked at what he did. The country is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment. When I am happy, I will surrender." A blessing."
Empress Houtu's tone was full of apologies, as if she already knew that she had a bad influence on Xuannv, and at the same time she felt embarrassed that I was not careful.
"Is that all?" Xuannv put down the vase, and the flowers on the other side bloomed and faded.
"Otherwise, my merits no longer need to support any human king. My desire to transcend is simply because I don't have a satisfactory successor. It's really Zhuang Xun who wrote his prayer so well. His words and deeds are consistent."
Empress Houtu had an expression of "you understand me", and Xuannv thought about it, her expression relaxed. Empress Houtu's accumulated merits no longer required her to support anyone.
"Little Qingluan changes his face so quickly. Isn't he the little Xia Kingdom? Isn't the Zhao Kingdom easily solved?"
"That's true, but you, my queen, also know me. If you want to achieve perfection, my queen, you probably won't support Xia Guo."
Xuannv breathed a sigh of relief obviously, and after finding out the attitude of Empress Houtu, she felt much more relaxed now. If she was worried, she might as well ask for confirmation.
"I don't support anyone. I'm happy to see whoever can unify the world. Don't worry, I won't stand in your way."
Empress Houtu promised that the words spoken by powerful people of their level are a kind of promise and they will not change their ways easily. After all, they have to save face, and the relationship between the two parties is not unfamiliar and hostile.
