Chapter 291 The Change of Emperor Xin
The inheritance of the country is the first priority. If the king dies, it is an extremely troublesome matter for any dynasty and can easily lead to the turmoil of the country.
Therefore, for the great merchant Sheji, Di Xin only had two sons, which was still too few and very unsafe. Even if it was just for the sake of stability, he would have more sons to prepare for emergencies.
Like Xibohou, the famous King Wen of Zhou in later generations. According to rumors, he had a hundred sons. In reality, although there were not that many, there were still as many as a dozen.
This is the number of heirs a monarch should have. From this point of view, Emperor Xin should learn from him.
Since Emperor Xin lacked a son, it was normal for him to accept the daughters of princes into the palace.
Even if Emperor Xin had no such plan, the clan and ministers of the Great Shang would take the initiative to suggest that Emperor Xin open a harem out of a sense of responsibility to the great merchant community.
It is precisely because of this that Ao Bing can't figure out whether it was Emperor Xin's own idea to accept the daughters of princes into the palace, or whether it was the result of someone's deliberate promotion.
There is nothing wrong with admitting the daughters of princes into the palace. The problem is that the current situation is not right.
At a time when the Demonic Way is preparing to plot against Dashang, isn’t your high-profile draft clearly giving the Demonic Way an opportunity to fill the harem with people as much as they like?
You know with your buttocks that among the daughters of the princes who were selected into the harem, there must be someone with problems. They are either undercover agents of the devil or agents of the demon clan.
Knowing that there is a problem and still doing something about it can only mean that there is something wrong within Dashang.
If this matter was led by Di Xin, then there was something wrong with him. He failed to take all precautions and was finally succeeded by the devil. There were signs of being possessed, and the desires in his heart were amplified little by little.
If the minister took the lead in this matter, that would be fine. But there is a traitor in the court, so the problem is not too serious.
“It’s Fei Zhong and You Hun!”
"At a certain court meeting, these two people suddenly said that the eldest prince was not prosperous and that he should elect the daughter of the princes of the world to enter the palace to increase his popularity."
Knowing what Ao Bing was wondering, the man from Longcheng The senior management quickly told all the information they had learned.
“It turns out it’s them!”
Ao Bing understood instantly when he heard that it was Fei Zhong and You Hun who suggested it.
Anyone who has read the list of gods knows that these two people are the biggest traitors and jesters around Di Xin. It's not surprising that the two of them would do something like this.
In fact, Ao Bing could guess their purpose of doing this, which was to gain Di Xin's appreciation and gain greater power.
When Emperor Xin did not have many heirs, he was persuaded to open up a wide harem. Not only did this fail, but it actually worked. Regardless of why other people did not speak up about this matter, since they were the first to stand up, the credit belongs to them.
As for what happened afterwards, there was a problem with the daughters of the princes who were selected into the palace. What does it have to do with them? They just gave reasonable advice to Emperor Xin in accordance with their duties as ministers.
They didn’t choose the beautiful girl, so even if there is a problem, it’s not their fault. The blame should also be placed on the people who censored these beautiful women.
“Fortunately!”
"No, it should be said to be a demon!"
As if he thought of something, Ao Bing's face suddenly darkened. When I looked at the list of gods in my previous life, I didn't think it was anything.
But now that they have come to Fengshen in person, and combined with the current situation, it is not difficult to guess that Fei Zhong and You Hun may have fallen into the devil's way and become its lackeys.
According to the normal timeline, the two of them are just treacherous fools and may not become possessed by the devil. But now, because Ao Bing has opened up the mythical Taiyi Realm, resentment has risen between heaven and earth, and the luck of the devil has greatly increased.
Now that’s good, with the personalities of the two of them, it’s really hard not to be obsessed with them.
"Uncle Long, the purpose of the draft has been conveyed. Do we, the Dragon Kingdom, want to send women to Chaoge?"
Another senior official of Dragon City asked. In name, the Kingdom of Renlong was still one of the vassal states of the Great Shang. Therefore, the Kingdom of Human Dragon is also within the scope of Di Xin's draft.
"If you refuse, just say that girls from the Human Dragon Kingdom will not marry outside."
Ao Bing said subconsciously, but as soon as he finished speaking, he changed his words: "Wait a minute, this matter You don’t have to worry about it. I’ll go to Chaoge myself to see the king and ask him what he thinks.”
After thinking about it, Ao Bing felt that something was wrong with Di Xin’s current situation. He might as well go over and take a look in person, which would make him feel more at ease.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, everyone said yes.
Then, Ao Bing discussed with them the next development of Renlong City.
There is nothing to discuss, it is just repeating the same old tune. Outside the country, we strive to open up more trade routes. Within, we vigorously develop the planting industry and cultivate excellent spiritual food and elixirs, as well as edible spiritual animals.
In addition, the development of the spiritual diet method cannot be left behind. More dishes must be developed, and even matching exercises and even practice systems must be developed.
Practicing various arts must also be put on the agenda.
In short, there are many things to do in Human Dragon City. But fortunately, as Human Dragon City becomes increasingly prosperous, it attracts more and more talents. No matter how many things you have to do, you can still find the right talents to do it.
It's a pity that because of the matter of sorting out the earth's veins, Jiejiao's disciples are focusing all their energy on this, but they have neglected the research on cultivating tens of billions.
At first, Ao Bing felt that there were enough disciples of Jie Jiao, but now, even with the help of Jie Jiao disciples, he gradually felt that the manpower was not enough. We still have to think of ways to recruit more people.
Actually, it is not difficult to simply recruit people. You can easily recruit a large number of people.
But the problem is, Ao Bing has very high requirements for the manpower he recruits. The most important one is not to carry karma. This alone wiped out 90% of the monks.
These days, even breathing in and out of spiritual energy will produce karma for monks, which means even breathing is sinful. This shows how difficult it is to find a monk without karma.
Although the requirements are high, there is nothing Ao Bing can do. Now is the period of great tribulation, and if you are burdened with karma, you are at risk of falling into tribulation.
If he recruits a monk with karma to help him, if one of them fails, the entire force will be dragged into disaster.
If this were to happen, Ao Bing would have no place to cry. Therefore, for safety reasons, this requirement cannot be lowered no matter how high it is. At worst, just spend more time and energy, and you can always catch fish by casting a wide net.
About two or three days later, seeing that his senior brother had not returned from the Fire Cloud Cave, and no one from the Wu clan had arrived, Ao Bing left an avatar behind and hurried to Chaoge.
He had a hunch that the Conferring God Killing Tribulation would officially begin soon, and the peaceful days would soon be broken.
For him, the test has just begun.
Surviving the murder is no longer a problem. But how to get enough benefits from the killings requires careful planning.
If nothing else, if he wants to kill Little Golden Crow, Conferring God to Kill Tribulation is his only chance.
...
Although Chaoge City is far away from Longzhou, at Ao Bing's current speed, if he moves the void, he will reach a place hundreds of thousands of miles away from Chaoge City in just a few quarters of an hour. The main reason why we stopped so far away was because Chaoge City was guarded by the destiny black bird. If you get too close, it is easy to cause misunderstanding and be attacked by the destiny black bird as an intruder.
The Black Bird of Destiny is the transformation of the great Shang Dynasty. It is the image of luck. The weakest one is also a quasi-sage.
Ao Bing is just not afraid of the Great Luo Jinxian, and is not yet capable of contending with the Quasi-Sage. Of course, you have to be careful when facing such an existence.
As early as a few days ago, Ao Bing informed Di Xin that he was coming, so there was no need for him to hide his tracks and he walked towards Chaoge City in a swagger.
Chaoge City is as big as the ancient sacred mountain, and the city wall is tens of thousands of feet high, forming a circle that is thousands of miles long. Such a sacred city was the only one Ao Bing had ever seen in his life.
Even with his cultivation, he still felt insignificant in front of this divine city where the fortune of millions of years of great merchants had been condensed.
This city is powerful enough to kill a quasi-sage!
However, strong fortresses often disintegrate from within. No matter how strong Chaoge City is, it can only resist forces outside of the human race.
Facing the internal forces of the human race, it is just an ordinary strong city, and it no longer has the power to suppress the quasi-sage.
Protect the outside but not the inside, this is the case for most luck artifacts. Perhaps, this is the disadvantage of the way of luck. Success is due to the crowd, and it will naturally fail due to the crowd.
With emotion, Ao Bing came to the city gate.
"Long Bo is here, let us go quickly!"
From a distance, the soldiers guarding the city saw Ao Bing and recognized his identity.
Knowing that this was the most popular figure in Kyushu recently, how could they dare to provoke him? They didn't have the arrogance of people from the royal capital at all, so they cautiously stepped forward to clear the way for him, fearing that he would be slightly dissatisfied.
At the same time, the discerning man has already rushed to the palace to inform the man about Long Bo's arrival.
After entering Chaoge City, Ao Bing said nothing and followed everyone towards the palace with a face full of silence, making it impossible for anyone to see his mood.
When everyone saw this, they just thought he was dissatisfied with Emperor Xin's selection of concubines. But in fact, Ao Bing's mind was not on this at all at this moment, but was attracted by the destiny black bird in the sky.
Both are images of luck, but Dashang's destiny black bird is different from the images of luck of other forces. It is more powerful.
Not only does he have combat power comparable to that of a quasi-sage, he can also suppress his cultivation and turn Daluo Jinxian into a mortal. And all of this was given to it by Ziweixing.
Da Shang is the royal court of the human race. With the blessing of royal luck, he will naturally be favored by Ziwei Star.
The Ziwei Starlight, also known as the Emperor's Qi, is the most domineering force in the world. It is born with the ability to suppress the avenue and destroy all laws.
Therefore, when Ziwei Starlight is mixed with Dashang Guoyun, it immediately gives it stronger power.
Externally, the attack power is greatly improved, and it has the ability to destroy all laws. Internally, it can suppress the rules of heaven and earth, making it difficult for monks to activate Taoism in Chaoge City, just like ordinary people.
Many immortals don't want to get close to Chaoge, that's why. No matter how high their cultivation level is, even if they have become Daluo Jinxian, they will still be suppressed by Ziwei Starlight and lose 99% of their abilities after arriving in Chaoge City.
This is very dangerous for them, as it is tantamount to leaving their life and death in the hands of the great merchants. Therefore, if it is not necessary, the Immortal will try to avoid getting close to the royal capital and similar places.
In the past, Ao Bing was the same, unwilling to get close to Chaoge City.
Although he is a prince, protected by the luck of the race, and is not afraid of the suppression of Ziwei Starlight, he will still be affected more or less because of his cultivation.
But now, Ao Bing suddenly discovered that the influence of Ziwei Starlight on him was gone.
Not only that, at this moment, under the shining of the purple starlight, he felt like a fish in water. It was as if this purple starlight could be used by him.
This is a bit exaggerated. Being able to control the light of Ziwei Star undoubtedly shows that he has become a king recognized by Ziwei Star.
As we all know, only the king can control the power of Ziwei Star. In addition, no matter how high your destiny is, you can only get the protection of Ziwei Star, but cannot control its power.
Sure enough, Ao Bing turned out to be a king, which surprised him. But the next moment, he figured out the reason.
He is indeed the king, the lord of the underworld, and the king of the underworld.
Nowadays, he not only has the destiny of the Netherworld, but also has created a lot of achievements in the Netherworld. Although he is still some distance away from becoming the Supreme and the Emperor, there is still no problem in calling himself a king.
The king of humans is a king, and the king of ghosts is naturally also a king. In terms of personality, Ao Bing was already on an equal footing with Di Xin, the human king.
Since he is a king, it is no big deal to be able to control the purple starlight.
"Unfortunately, my ghost king's authority is limited, and the blessings I receive from Ziweixing are also limited. They are far inferior to Di Xin, the human king."
"Otherwise, just the blessing from Ziweixing, I can make the quasi-sage be polite to me without making the slightest mistake.”
After coming back to his senses, Ao Bing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Even if they are both kings, they are still strong and weak.
To give a simple example, Emperor Xin is a human king, Cheng Tang is also a human king, and Chi You is also a human king. But who dares to say that these three are at the same level?
Sometimes, the gap between kings is quite big. And Ao Bing was undoubtedly the weakest among the kings.
It has a name, but has no practical effect. Its symbolic meaning is greater than its practical significance.
……
Just as Ao Bing was sighing, the palace arrived.
Di Xin, who had received the news early, had already left the palace in advance and came out to greet Ao Bing in person.
This is the greatest etiquette when a king comes out of the palace to greet you. Even the three princes are no more than this. It can also be seen from this that Emperor Xin did not treat Ao Bing as a minister, but as a guest.
The three princes and dukes receive the courtesy of guests. They are not the king's ministers, but the king's guests. Their status is equal.
“It’s broken!”
Di Xin came out of the palace to greet him in person, which moved Ao Bing very much. However, all the emotions in his heart turned into shock the moment he saw Di Xin.
After seeing Di Xin with his own eyes, Ao Bing just discovered that Di Xin's situation was far more serious than he imagined. It was no longer as simple as being possessed by a demon, but a backlash from humanity.
If you are possessed by a demon, as long as you get rid of the demonic energy, there is still a possibility of recovery. But if there is a backlash from humanity, it is basically hopeless. Even if the saint takes action himself, he can't save the situation.
“We have finally reached this point!”
Ao Bing felt helpless. In fact, he had expected this scene, but he didn’t expect it to come so quickly.
