Twenty-three years of exposure.
The New Year is approaching.
There is nothing going on in the DPRK, but if there is something else, it will be postponed to next year.
All the officials were either bored or busy going up to the peak to pay homage. When they heard the sound of the drum, most of Qianjing was shocked.
There was nothing new in the palace, and news spread quickly.
Mr. Zhou, who saved the life of the Holy Emperor and taught him the skills, later came to join the Li family with a token of his own.
The history of the Holy Emperor's family is well known to families with a longer history. Especially after the death of the Holy Emperor, many historians in the court have thoroughly studied it.
Among them was a mysterious case, the secret of which was not revealed until the Holy Emperor's death. That's how the Li clan survived the siege and killing by bandits when the whole family was exiled, and how they managed to establish themselves in the deserted city under the pseudonym Zhou Hong.
Historians investigated the officials in Huangcheng and found that there seemed to be a young man named Zhou who rescued the Holy Emperor and taught him the skills.
Before Li Hong died, the mystery was completely revealed.
After a hundred years, the descendants of the Zhou family came to visit, and all the officials watched the excitement with their hands folded.
This matter is purely an internal matter of the royal family, and no one can interfere. Whether he is kicked out as a liar or given a leisurely and noble title, it will not have much influence on the court.
at this time.
Qianyang Palace.
Emperor Chenglu invited the clan elders to discuss the matter together.
"For the time being, I will invite people to the Changhe Hall to bathe and change clothes. I am anxious to invite all uncles here because this matter cannot be delayed. Everyone inside and outside the court is watching. If it is not handled well, it will become a stain on the Holy Emperor!"
The clan elders lined up on the left and right, nodded in agreement and discussed in low voices.
An old uncle Wang asked: "Your Majesty, are you sure the person coming here is genuine?"
Emperor Chenglu shook his head and said: "It has not yet been determined. I have already ordered the imperial dining room to hold a banquet. To show the royal family's sincerity, I will inquire about it personally."
"For such a great favor, it is okay to be granted a royal title. It will show the virtue of the royal family!"
"You can ask the Immortal Master of the Immortal Pension Department to investigate secretly. The truth will be revealed!"
The clan elders discussed it a lot, and generally supported repaying the favor.
This was a favor without any expense, and the kindness was still repaid three generations later. Publicizing it would bring great honor to the Li family. As for refusing to admit the debt or kicking the person out, that would be a slap in the face. Which high-ranking family in Qianjing does not have poor relatives, so they must treat them well when they come to their door.
Another Uncle Wang frowned slightly and sighed: "I'm afraid people don't like the glory and wealth."
Emperor Chenglu asked: "What does Uncle Zhong know?"
"Your Majesty, I am an old man who manages the royal family's classics and knows quite a bit about Mr. Zhou. According to the records, Mr. Zhou is secretly in charge of the Royal Guards. He is not interested in power and glory, but only seeks immortality."
Uncle Zhong Wang said: "With Mr. Zhou's martial arts and immortal magic inheritance, future generations will not lack wealth. The only thing that the royal family can see is probably the land to the east."
Emperor Chenglu nodded and said, "Uncle King Zhong is right."
Uncle Zhongwang looked quite sad. Nowadays, everyone in the Daqian royal family knows the method of cultivating immortals, but their spiritual roots make people despair.
"Your Majesty, it's okay to give him spiritual land and spiritual stones. With the kindness and connections of the Zhou family, he will be more successful in practice in the future than those who practice casually. But does he have spiritual roots?"
"Most likely not."
Emperor Chenglu said: "Back then, the Holy Emperor was able to join the Immortal Sect because of Mr. Zhou's guidance. If he had spiritual roots, he would go directly to Xiaodan Mountain."
The other elders listened to the conversation between the monarch, ministers, uncles and nephews, and quickly understood the key.
With inheritance but no spiritual roots, the help that the Daqian royal family can give is spiritual land and spiritual stones. They can pile up resources to promote martial arts innates and forcefully embark on the path of cultivation.
Someone suddenly asked: "Isn't this... a waste?"
There is only one spiritual root among ten thousand, but God has not completely cut off the path. It's just that the innate difficulty of martial arts is even rarer than spiritual roots. For example, among the mortals in Zhengyang Abyss, only occasionally can they become monks.
The Daqian royal family can maintain a steady supply of monks in a similar way to the Jiangnan family, which is to marry more and have more children.
Even if there are one or two generations without spiritual roots, they still have the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Skill to maintain, and there is no shortage of monks in the early stage of Qi refining to take charge.
"Most of the monks recruited by the Immortal Pension Department in recent years are extremely lonely and frustrated. Any casual monk with skills would rather live in poverty in Xiaodan Mountain."
Emperor Chenglu pondered for a long time and said: "The reason is not inheritance, but the word "faith"!
"That's true."
The Immortal Bureau can continue the inheritance of Daqian, which is the foundation for the continuous wealth of the elders and descendants of the clan, so they are very concerned about its development.
"If Da Qian wants to become like Da Chu, he must maintain his reputation for at least three to four hundred years. Only those capable casual cultivators will defect to him and enjoy worldly glory in peace."
Emperor Chenglu said: "The things in front of us are opportunities. We spare no resources to cultivate the descendants of the Zhou family. This can be said to be trustworthy!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Mr. Zhou is a pity to the Holy Emperor. This would make things perfect."
"Your Majesty has carefully considered it. It will be much more convenient to recruit casual cultivators in the future. The descendants of our benefactors separated by hundreds of years can be treated well by the royal family, let alone others."
The elders of the clan praised him repeatedly. Emperor Chenglu had obviously made a plan. Calling the clan's office to discuss it was just to show his face and to show his wisdom.
…
Chengtian Hall.
Needless to say, there are all kinds of delicacies and delicacies.
Zhou Yi stood outside the door for a long time with the chamberlain, and finally waited for His Majesty to make an announcement.
Emperor Chenglu looked to be in his thirties or forties, with a strong figure. When he saw Zhou Yi coming in, he smiled and signaled that he would not be polite.
"The Zhou and Li clans are family friends. As I grow older than you, we will refer to you as my nephew from now on."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhou Yi transformed into a young man with a simple and honest face. Even if he changed his clothes, he could not hide his rustic look.
Emperor Chenglu got straight to the point: "My nephew claims to be a descendant of Mr. Zhou. Apart from the wooden sign, is there any other evidence?"
"other……"
Zhou Yi was about to speak when he sensed a subtle fluctuation in mana. He immediately pretended to be blurred and spoke like he was dreaming: "My great-grandfather often scolded the Dog Emperor when he was alive. Does this count?"
"Dog Emperor?"
Embarrassment flashed across Emperor Chenglu's face, and he immediately remembered the records in the Holy Emperor's Records, and asked: "What are you going to do if the Li family doesn't recognize you?"
Zhou Yi said: "Go home and farm."
Emperor Chenglu glanced behind him at the casual cultivator hiding behind the screen. Chuanyin had already cast the spell of ecstasy.
"My dear nephew, do you have other skills?"
Zhou Yi answered honestly: "I only know how to farm and make wine."
Emperor Chenglu continued to ask: "How old are you this year?"
"Eighteen years old."
Zhou Yi is exactly four decades old, which is a bit embarrassing to say. Jindan Zhenjun is already halfway through his lifespan, and he has not yet established a foundation.
Emperor Chenglu asked a few more questions, such as whether he had spiritual roots and martial arts qualifications, and signaled that the enchantment technique should be withdrawn.
Zhou Yi woke up from a trance and said honestly: "Did I say something wrong? Does the royal family still recognize Grandpa?"
"The greatest regret of the Holy Emperor's life was that he was unable to repay Mr. Zhou's kindness. Now that my nephew has arrived, I have fulfilled my ancestor's last wish. But if you have anything you want, just say it and I will do anything you want!"
Emperor Chenglu still called him nephew and kept a gentle smile, but his voice sounded much more official and distant.
Without spiritual roots and low martial arts qualifications, even if the royal family vigorously cultivates them, it will be difficult for them to become innate in the future. Originally, Emperor Chenglu thought of recruiting a consort and not leaking the resources he invested, but now he has given up on this idea.
"Your Majesty, the greatest regret in my great-grandfather's life is that he sought immortality and asked questions."
Zhou Yi said: "It is rumored that the royal family has a spiritual land, and I hope to use it to practice. It would be great if there are some spiritual stones to support it."
"I agree."
Emperor Chenglu was disappointed. Since he believed in the tree, he would not be stingy with the spiritual stone.
"Some time later, my nephew will go to the royal family's spiritual land to practice. Every year, one hundred spiritual stones will be used to purchase elixirs."
