The excitement of the canonization began to spread, and the old rumors exploded with astonishing power. After the glow, the ugly duckling turned into a white swan.
At least that's what the courtiers saw. Si Qin Mi walked up to the auspicious and auspicious high platform, accepted the canonization, turned around and sat next to Zhuang Xun. He had skin that could be broken by a blow, and a dignified and beautiful face. This was already It's a miracle.
Thinking that Zhuang Xun could kill the demon clan, and at the same time he ascended the throne and there was an earthquake from the sky, shattering the pass into layers, it didn't feel so strange.
It's just about curing the queen's disfigured face. Can this little magic trick compare to killing monsters and shattering them into layers?
In comparison, Li Rusi took over the position of general as a woman, which shocked the officials even more. After all, she was appointing a woman to do such a thing, and there was also a trust issue.
Although I had received some news, I was still shocked when Li Rusi became a general. After all, the hostility between Cheng Guo and Xia State was already semi-clear, and Li Rusi could be trusted so much.
After the canonization ceremony was over, everyone who left was finally able to have a heated discussion. Most of them were focused on Li Rusi's appointment as general. Only this matter was topical and related to one's future and destiny.
After all, when discussing the queen's appearance, one is afraid of being snitched. As for Zhuang Xun's courageous appointment of Li Rusi, this is more related to the ecology of the officialdom. This is equivalent to a strong infusion of political power.
In the past, Li Rusi led the army in the name of Zhuang Xun. Now that she occupied the position of general, it was equivalent to opening her own government. She no longer commanded the army in the name of Zhuang Xun, although she still had to be loyal to Zhuang Xun.
However, all these disappeared after knowing Si Qin Mi's true identity. On the contrary, Si Qin Mi's identity became the most heated discussion.
At first, everyone didn't understand Si Qin Mi's identity, because few people in Xia State knew Si Qin Mi, and Zhuang Xun didn't bother to explain to these ministers.
It's interesting to see their confused and surprised expressions, and after telling Si Qin Mi's identity, he also needs to explain how she came back from the dead, etc. Let these people guess.
The crack came quickly, because now that her identity has been restored, she will be guessed sooner or later. Si Qinmi does not intend to continue to hide her identity. There is no need. Zhuang Xun wants her to stand beside him openly. Si Qinmi stood beside him openly.
In the Xie Wen thanking Zhuang Xun above, as well as the Queen's edict from the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard, she signed her name as Wei Mi. The identity of the Si Qin family was almost abandoned, and she recognized her mother more.
If she had followed the Si Qin family's style of dealing with things, Si Qin Mi would not have met Zhuang Xun. Now she takes the name Wei, which can be regarded as her gratitude for meeting Zhuang Xun and a difference from her past self.
This word "Mi" is so crucial. People who are interested immediately connected it with Zhuang Xun's experience of making a fortune and the initial starting point of "Siqin Mi".
Originally, there were rumors about Zhuang Xun and Si Qin Mi. Now that Si Qin Mi has appeared, many people have guessed Si Qin Mi's true identity.
It's just that it's not certain yet. Just a piece of news has aroused people's endless imagination, because the things Si Qinmi involves are more eye-catching than Li Rusi, which is enough to cover up Zhuang Xun's thoughts.
That is the ultimate question of human beings, the question of where to go. Resurrection from the dead. Siqin Mi, who was beheaded in the Yu Kingdom, is resurrected. This is what people value. As for the broken appearance being cured, it is not particularly important, because some mortals Doctors can do it, but it is far less important than coming back from the dead.
Similarly, such a miracle is more desirable than any auspicious light and mist, especially Zhuang Xun's previous visit to the City God's Temple, which almost confirmed this possibility, and then people's minds were moved.
It seems to tell people that Zhuang Xun can contact the gods in the underworld, and then many people seem to see the situation after death. If they go against Zhuang Xun, they will not rest in peace after death.
If you obey Zhuang Xun's rule honestly, you will at least suffer less after death. Zhuang Xun's rule seems to be endorsed by the gods and becomes indestructible. After all, people always have to die.
They didn't expect Zhuang Xun to go to the Palace of Hell to lure them, but they didn't expect that Palace of Hell would be pinched, and they would suffer a lot when the time came.
This may be the advantage of the support of the King of Hell, and it can also be regarded as the biggest help for their support in the end. They have defeated many people psychologically, and it is a heavy bargaining chip for those who are swaying.
No matter how fair the trial of the King of Hell is, there will always be a place where the King of Hell can judge the punishment. No one wants to be put in the shoes of the King of Hell.
Most people still don't know that the underworld is impartial. After all, the matter of favoritism has been put before them. Si Qin Mi's death was in full view of everyone, and Zhuang Xun buried her body in full view of everyone. There is no doubt about this.
Zhuang Xun did not expect this effect. He could have imagined that the rumors about him and Si Qin Mi would be confirmed, and then he would be cast as a hypocrite. After all, it was not a simple repayment of gratitude.
Although Zhuang Xun did do it out of repayment, for example, a lawyer helped someone with a divorce case and ended up marrying the divorced person. You can imagine the fishiness in this.
This is also the reason why Si Qinmi would rather live with a broken face than recover, let alone become a queen, which has done great harm to Zhuang Xun's personal image.
Zhuang Xun suddenly changed from a compassionate and benevolent gentleman to a prodigal who stole wives and picked up concubines. His image was reversed 180 degrees, from a good guy to a bad guy.
However, Zhuang Xun didn't care. Confirmation proved that Si Qinmi was deceived and abducted by him. It was his own anyway.
In the past, ministers needed this kind of reputation, but now it is not important for the monarch. The reputation of the monarch comes more from the ability to govern the country.
When Li Shiming married the concubines of the previous dynasty, no one took issue with him. When he launched the Xuanwumen Revolution, a lot of people applauded him. As long as the country was well governed, no one would care about such small details.
Governing the country requires talents like Si Qinmi. Zhuang Xun only wished he could steal a few more Si Qinmi. If there were more Si Qinmi, wouldn't the country be more prosperous?
As he expected, the craziest thing was naturally the rumors in the market. There were many versions and rumors, which instantly detonated all the places in Hengdu.
Zhuang Xun did not regulate public opinion, and the story of Zhuang Xunqing provoking the Duke's wife began to spread widely, but the ending was changed to the story that Si Qinmi, the wife of Zhenguo, faked her death and escaped, or the king of hell gave Si Qinmi a chance to return to the sun.
In these legends, Zhuang Xun can be related to the King of Hell, and there are all ten palaces of Yama, but I don't know what the other seven palaces that I haven't seen think.
In the version closest to reality, the deep affection between Si Qinmi and Zhuang Xun moved the Lun Luan King. Because Zhuang Xun was destined to be emperor, the Lun Lun King made an exception.
All the confusion about Wei Lanzhi has been solved. Such a sensible and sensible woman, it is true that she has such ability only because she comes from a big family. She has endorsed her, even though she no longer needs this endorsement.
There was a lot of confusing news, but no one asked for confirmation in the end. Who wouldn't want to ask the emperor about such a private matter? Isn't it too long to live?
Zhuang Xun's carefully arranged celebrations and auspiciousness were completely wasted. Resurrection from the dead is more in line with people's discussion seats. Who is going to discuss the Caixia treasure.
The center of the earthquake source calmed down, and the impact spread to the periphery, causing ripples that lingered for a long time.
Just like the caravan walking on the mountain road, they are also vividly telling the story of Zhuang Xun and Siqin Mi, which is so satisfying for the people at the bottom.
Why did the principality's wife fall in love with me? Now that it is confirmed, the people naturally have something to talk about. After all, Zhuang Xun's characteristics are not obvious. He relies on Siqin Mi for literature and Li Rusi for military affairs. He sits on the emperor's throne with a soft diet.
"The King of Yama said: Even though your appearance is ruined, you are still willing to marry me? Will you never leave us? Zhuang Xun replied: That's the case..."
"There's a monster!"
A group of people chatted animatedly. Halfway through the story, someone exclaimed. There was a confusion of silhouettes, and a big black bird with two heads appeared in the sky. It screamed with a fishy smell.
The caravan hurriedly responded, but when faced with monsters, they were first afraid. The big bird had brute force and could overturn the guards in one go. Some people had been scratched by the bird's claws and were staggering.
Seeing the person fall, the big bird stretched out its claws and pounced on one of them, just about to catch the person.
"Whizzing……"
The arrows pierced the air and shot down the monster. The bird monster screamed and fled in a hurry. Then two more arrows were fired. The bird monster died and fell from the sky. It was like a big stone hitting the ground, and the ground shook.
A group of businessmen were panic-stricken and thankful. A young man with tanned skin and a bow came out of the woods. His expression was solemn, and he did not relax because of the monster's fall.
Four or five men of different ages walked out from behind him, holding bows, arrows, and knives. They all approached the monster in an orderly manner, and the monster struggled violently.
The young man picked up the knife and looked at the struggling monster. Without hesitation, he slashed at the bird's head with the big knife. As the two bird heads were decapitated, he took a long breath of relief.
Only then did everyone smile, feeling relieved.
"Thank you so much for saving your life. May I ask your name, I'm very grateful." The person in charge of the caravan came over tremblingly, feeling both gratitude and fear. These are strong men who can kill monsters but not merchants. Team member?
"No need to thank you, I'm Yao Zongwen. It's my duty to slay demons." Yao Zongwen said with his fists clasped, looking at the monsters with a relaxed expression, and the monsters had begun to dissipate like smoke.
"But the officer of the Demon Slayer Department?" the person in charge of the caravan exclaimed.
"Demon Slayer?" Yao Zongwen was confused. He didn't know anything about the Demon Slayer.
"Yes, Director Yao's reputation is far-reaching. Your Majesty killed the demon king and founded the country. There are many remaining demons in the territory, so he set up a demon slaying department to annihilate the demon clan. Therefore, Director Yao went everywhere to slay demons and eliminate demons."
The person in charge of the caravan said excitedly, his eyes were filled with surprise and gratitude, he was amazed and full of respect for Yao Zongwen and the others.
"Ah, there is no such department, but we are indeed here to eradicate the demons that fled in all directions."
Yao Zongwen shook his head. When Zhuang Xun killed Nie Jin, he chopped off his head and hung it on the city wall for public display. Yao Zongwen got his revenge and was briefly happy for a few days.
Watching the corpse slowly dissipate, and finally all gone, he got drunk all night, and the next day he felt empty without Nie Jin's corpse.
There is no family anymore, nothing left, and now the revenge has been avenged, it feels like life has no meaning.
This lasted for half a month. Hearing that there were monsters harming people, he finally had a new goal to hunt down the escaped bird monsters.
So he gathered a group of like-minded companions who had been killed by these bird monsters and started a monster hunting journey. As the leader, Bi Yuewu had given up on these evil monsters and would clean up the house when he encountered them. These monsters would hide away. He got up and occasionally ate people to survive.
Look for clues, then find the hiding places where the monsters escaped, and finally hunt them down. During this period, I borrowed the power of the state machine, but I really don’t know what the demon slayer is.
"The danger is over, let's say goodbye." I used this caravan to drag the monster out. Now my goal has been achieved and the monster has been killed. Although I have doubts, there is no need to explain to strangers.
"Director Yao, wait, let me thank you. You have worked hard too." The person in charge of the caravan said enthusiastically.
"No, we have important things to do." Yao Zongwen shied away, then without even looking at the monster, he took the people and caravan members on the opposite route, away from the caravan.
A group of people from the caravan looked at them with fear and admiration until they disappeared from sight. Yao Zongwen and the others walked the caravan for most of the day with laughter. Then they arrived at the small town, where they found a few inns, drank wine, ate meat, and celebrated. Waited for more than ten days for the results.
After three drinks, he went back to rest. Yao Zongwen opened the door and saw He Jung enjoying tea in his room.
Without any hesitation, Yao Zongwen immediately knelt down and saluted devoutly: "Congratulations to Shangxian."
Whoever provided these weapons for him to destroy monsters was naturally He Jung, who was familiar with him. He proposed the idea, and He Jung produced the weapons. If he found a monster that he couldn't deal with, He Jung could be asked to take action.
So he was very grateful to He Jung in his heart, so he didn't feel any shame in giving such a big gift. Instead, he felt that he was not respectful enough.
"You're back? You had a celebratory drink. It seems like you succeeded again?" He Jung asked, playing with the folding fan.
"It was successful. Thanks to you, I hunted it down without using any props, just bows and arrows. This monster had no sense." Yao Zongwen said gratefully. Every time he killed such an evil monster, he would feel a little empty in his heart. Enrichment.
"The Immortal Cultivation Sect has killed all the strong ones. These weak ones are hidden deep and hard to find. If your luck is broken, you only have the intuition of wild beasts. You have to have the patience to stay here."
After analyzing the characteristics of monsters, Yao Zongwen nodded in agreement, and He Jung changed the subject and asked:
"The demons and demons of Xia Kingdom are almost finished. Immortal cultivation sect, what are you going to do next?"
Yao Zongwen was stunned. He had almost killed the demon. What was he going to do next? It was easy.
"Do you want to kill the demon of the world?" He Jung saw that Yao Zongwen had been thinking for a long time and made no move, so he asked aloud.
"A worldly demon?" Yao Zongwen said blankly.
"In this big family, our Lord intends to eliminate the vampires that are attached to the body of the country. I wonder if you, Zongwen, are willing to do your part."
"Your Majesty's business is my business, but what can I do?" Zhuang Xun was a great benefactor, the benefactor who killed Nie Jin.
"His Majesty is planning to merge the Supervisory Office and establish an intelligence organization, Jinyiwei. He plans to promote our country's reform strategy among the people of Zhao State. I am the candidate. I don't know if Zong Wen will appreciate it."
"Dare to fail to die."
