In April, the emperor issued an edict to prepare for the Taihuang Grand Meeting, inviting envoys from all ethnic groups that Da Jing had already contacted to come to Shuntian during the New Year's Day next year.
When this edict spread, the world was in an uproar. Most people were full of fear and prejudice against foreign races, thinking that the emperor was inviting wolves into the house! But the emperor issued an edict, and the matter was settled. Luozhou is one of the most fertile states in Dajing.
In a mansion.
A man in black robe wearing a silver mask was drinking tea. The mask only covered the upper half of his face, exposing his mouth and nose. Judging from his skin and white beard, this man was very old.
A figure appeared out of thin air, half-knelt in front of him, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, Canglang has been chosen." This person was wearing a tight-fitting warrior robe, and looked at the man in black robes with a look full of fanaticism. The man in black robe responded: "Yes, I already know. Pay close attention to him."
"yes!"
The warrior then disappeared from the same place, as if he had never appeared before.
A door suddenly opened and a figure walked out of the house. It turned out to be an old Taoist. If Jiang Changsheng were here, he would definitely recognize him. He was the founder of Longqi Temple, Taoist Master Qingxu.
He looked the same as he did two hundred years ago, except for a strange black line on his forehead.
Taoist Master Qingxu walked up to the black-robed man and sat down. While pouring himself tea, he asked: "Now that the emperor has consolidated the imperial power and the world is at peace, are you going to forcefully push out of Canglang?"
The man in black robe said calmly: "Peace in the world is just an illusion. When Hongzong was assassinated, Daozu did not take action, which shows that Daozu has abandoned Dajing. Without Daozu's protection, Dajing is already a meal on the plate, waiting for the destined people to come and share it. "
Jinghongzong Jiang Han was the first emperor in Dajing to be successfully assassinated since Taizong. Before the capital was moved, no one dared to assassinate the emperor because Taozu was there. However, after the capital was moved, assassinations occurred one after another, and Taozu did not take action. The successful assassination of Hongzong caused undercurrents among all parties.
More and more people feel that after the capital was moved, the relationship between Daozu and the Jiang family was broken. Before the powerful clan attacked, Daozu only took action for the sake of the people of the world.
"Is Canglang really suitable?" Taoist Master Qingxu asked.
The black-robed man's eyes flashed coldly and he said: "If he is only suitable to be Canglang, he is suitable, but he is only suitable to be Canglang." Taoist Master Qingxu nodded slightly.
"Let's take a look at Canglang's actions first. If the world is in chaos and Dao Ancestor still doesn't take action, then we can really implement the big plan. The former Chaozong and the current family,
They are all waiting for Daozu's attitude. "
The man in black robe said slowly. When he mentioned Daozu, his eyes fluctuated and he didn't know what he was thinking. He looked at Taoist Priest Qingxu and said, "Get ready, you will play a great role, even greater than Canglang." Taoist Priest Qingxu smiled and said, "I have been prepared for this for a long time." The black-robed man's mouth rising.
In the third year of Dinghe, the New Year's day arrived, and the eyes of the world fell on Shuntian City. It is said that ten spiritual races from Taihuang came to visit, and many people were worried about it.
Worry about something happening in the Imperial City.
The grand event in Taihuang lasted for ten days, and all the tribes left. The whole event was without any disturbance and everything went smoothly. It is said that all tribes paid tribute to the great scene and respected the great scene.
The people of the world were relieved and began to look forward to the future of Da Jing.
The Taihuang Grand Meeting marks the official integration of Dajing and Taihuang, and will definitely leave a mark in history.
The emperor was pleased and promoted An Chang, the Minister of Transport who hosted the Taihuang event, to prime minister. He was included in the three provinces and could participate in the decision-making of state affairs. An Chang's promotion was too fast, which caused turmoil in the court and the dissatisfaction of many ministers. Many ministers have endured several dynasties without ever becoming prime minister. An Chang was promoted to prime minister just by organizing a grand event, which is simply ridiculous.
It is said that the morning court was very noisy, and the civil and military ministers put pressure on him, but the emperor insisted on it.
After An Chang became prime minister, he quickly promoted his cronies. Within half a year, all those who opposed him were gone, at least in the court.
Dinghe four years.
In early July, a rare severe drought occurred in northern Dajing. Within two months, the drought broke out, followed by famine, and countless people suffered.
Longqi Mountain.
"Drought? Ridiculous, it must be the Ministry of Transport
Someone is playing tricks, causing the power of luck in that area to be reduced. Otherwise, with the national destiny of Da Jing, how could there be such a disaster? 「
Chen Li said disdainfully, his tone cold.
Bai Zun shook his head and said: "It seems that today's people do not know the way of luck, and there are no loyal ministers around them who can convey the sentiments of the people."
Chen Li said: "That was his own choice. He made a mistake from the moment he placed An Chang in high regard. An Chang had long since severed the master-disciple relationship with Qi Sheng. His Majesty still thinks highly of him. He must have been deceived. An Chang This man is indeed very capable. Within a year, he has gained power and power. It seems that there are many forces behind him."
He looked at Jiang Changsheng next to the medicine cauldron and said, "Tao Ancestor, you must hold back, the opportunity has come to make a big breakthrough."
Jiang Changsheng didn't answer. Bai Qi, who was lying next to him, said angrily: "The master has sent people to control the situation, but they still got scolded."
Li Yi is the god of thunder. He can stir up thunder from the sky and gather seas of clouds. However, the problem lies in luck. With his ability, he cannot control the wind and rain every day. When he failed in disaster relief, the people began to scold him. These repercussions were reflected in the world of Shenyou. The news has spread in the Dajing circle, making believers very unhappy with those people who have not become believers.
The people of Dajing had not suffered hardship for a long time, at least the famine was far away from them. The suffering people scolded the God of Thunder, the Taoist ancestors, and the court. They did not feel grateful to the God of Thunder for his rain, but instead blamed him for his incompetence.
When more and more people complained about Daozu, the followers of Daozu became more and more dissatisfied. Because of the existence of Shenyou Datiandi, the believers all knew that it was the Ministry of Transport. No wonder Daozu, the people did not dare to resist the emperor, but they came Blaming Dao Ancestor, what's the point? As a result, two waves of camps are forming in Da Jing. There are even some believers who want to rebel, overthrow the Jiang family's imperial power, and solemnly worship the Taoist ancestors from now on.
Jiang Changsheng's followers of Dajing are distributed in all walks of life, ranging from court officials to the bottom of the martial arts world. This force gathered together is enough to overthrow Dajing. However, Jiang Changsheng did not do that. Managing a country requires energy. He I also want to see if the descendants of the Jiang family can turn the tide.
"It has been comfortable for so long that people in the world have forgotten the sufferings of the past and who brought the great prosperity." Ye Xundi hummed, and he was one of the dissatisfied believers.
Ji Wujun said: "In addition to An Chang's rebellion, I think there are people behind the scenes who are promoting all this. Why does the Ministry of Transport want to create a drought and inflame people's resentment? What is it for?"
Mu Lingluo frowned and said, "You mean, An Chang wants to rebel?" First force the emperor to lose the support of the people? "Ji Wujun nodded and said: "Everyone in the Yun Department is An Chang, how could he not know?"
Mu Lingluo wanted to ask her to kill An Chang, but when she thought of Chen Li's plan and Jiang Changsheng's acquiescence, she fell silent again.
The aristocratic families and vassal kings restricted the imperial power of Dajing, and the conflicts became deeper and deeper, reaching the point where they could not be resolved. Even some people in the Mu family complained that Hongzong wielded his sword indiscriminately.
"There must be a lot of people behind An Chang. If we pull him out, I'm afraid the emperor will be scared to death. When the world is in chaos, these people will fight. Let them consume each other. When the people of the world hate them, Daozu will support them. With the imperial power of the Jiang family, the emperor at that time was loved by the people of the world, and then he could carry out a great purge of the family, and everything would be in accordance with nature and people's will."
Chen Li sighed, his words were cruel, but no one could refute them.
The truth is so ironic.
Jiang Changsheng calculated and found that the strongest person in the scene besides him was still Tongtiandi, and there was no threat. No matter who is plotting secretly, he is not interested, because no matter how strong he is, he is still a bug in front of him.
…
In October, the drought ended, but at the end of the year, a cold disaster hit the east side of Dajing.
In the early March of the fifth year of Dinghe, in the imperial study.
The emperor sat meditating on the futon, with a mountain of memorials piled up on the table next to him. He faced the scorching sun outside the door, and his hands changed gestures, as if he was practicing martial arts.
An Chang came and came in deliberately along the door without blocking the sunlight. The emperor didn't open his eyes and asked, "Have you detected the fluctuations in the fortunes of the great prosperity?"
As the emperor, he can sense the world's destiny, but he can only sense fluctuations and does not know exactly what is happening.
"It's still a fight between the martial arts sects. A lot of people died, but the people are fine. Your Majesty, the martial arts should
After rectification, they fight wantonly, easily hurting the people, and ignore the law of the country, how can they be tolerated? An Chang said while bending down, with a very low posture, not like a prime minister at all.
The emperor continued: "Then suppress it and elect a martial arts leader. It is up to you to handle this matter."
"As you command!"
An Chang responded, then took out a small wooden box from his sleeve and said: Your Majesty, this is the Gui Yuan Dan, which is made from the blood and blood of the ten thousand year black turtle. It can increase life span. "
The emperor opened his eyes and took the object, saying, "Yes, you are interested."
An Chang said with a smile: "I can live today only because of your majesty's favor. Long live your majesty, so I can live happily for ten thousand years." The emperor said angrily: "Long live? I can live to be two hundred years old. It will be good." The two monarchs and ministers said with a smile. After chatting for a while, An Chang left.
The emperor continued to cultivate immortality.
Since replacing his confidants, he has become accustomed to delegating power. The success of the Taihuang event and the statements of various tribes indicate that Dajing will take off. In his opinion, he has completed the task assigned to him by Hongzong, and he does not need to devote himself to it. With so much hard work, you can spend most of your time on cultivating immortality and refining elixirs.
When Jiang Xuannian reached the cave heaven realm, he would abdicate, so that Jiang Xuannian could suppress the ministers and avoid the situation of the previous emperors. The emperor felt that he was in control. If there was a drastic change in the fate of the world, he would naturally intervene personally. This is the benefit of luck, knowing that luck can be seen in the world.
However.
The dramatic change in fortune has really come, and it's coming very quickly.
November.
The emperor was sitting in the imperial study, his face extremely gloomy. An Chang walked in quickly and was about to salute when he was interrupted by the emperor: "Tell me, what happened?" An Chang quickly replied: "Someone is inciting the people of a state. Conspiracy has led to drastic changes in the fate of the country. Your Majesty, don’t worry, I have already arranged people to suppress it, and it will be resolved soon."
