Chapter 276 Find out
Chu Zhiyuan's expression was solemn.
He had always felt that something was wrong with the relationship between the emperor and the four demon sects. It was not just hostility, but a more complicated relationship.
The imperial court was so taboo on the Four Demonic Sects, and the Supervisory Department was so cautious that Tongtian Pavilion did not even have any records about the Four Demonic Sects.
Something is wrong everywhere.
Now I finally figured it out.
This should be the discord that has accumulated since the time of Taizu, and it has become a dead knot that cannot be solved.
He can understand the thoughts of emperors of all ages.
The four major caves and the four secret lands are certainly rich in resources, including natural materials, treasures, exotic flowers and fruits, as well as monsters and beasts, the list is endless.
But only the Grand Master can go in to pick and explore, and the Grand Master will guard it, and the number of Grand Masters is limited.
The four secret places of the four demon sects can be entered without a great master.
If everything is in the hands of the imperial court, and everyone from the innate to the grand master to the grand master can enter the secret place, the imperial court's strength will inevitably increase dramatically.
There is even hope of dominating the three major dynasties, and even the hope of unifying the world.
This was a great temptation for emperors of all ages. He knew that the power of the Emperor's Sword came from the hearts and minds of the people.
The more people there are, the stronger the Emperor's Sword will naturally be.
But now, they have to make excuses with the other two dynasties, or even compromise, which is too cowardly.
Of course, he also understood the thoughts of the four demon sects. They wanted to take back what they had promised, which was a typical case of burning bridges across rivers.
Moreover, the four major demon sects have deep foundations, so they may not be really afraid of the imperial court, so they will naturally have to wrestle with each other.
They didn't openly show off their faces, but they were fighting on the inside.
Chu Zhiyuan pondered: "Grandma, Dameng and Dazhen also have caves and secret places, right?"
"Of course there is." Concubine Rou nodded lightly and said: "Otherwise, why would we establish a dynasty? Even small countries like Dalie and Daguang have secret places, and secret places are the foundation of a country."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
In this world where martial arts flourish, it would be difficult to support a country without resources like secret lands.
How can a weak country not be annexed by others?
"Dajing, Dazhen and Meng are great countries because they have more secret places?"
"Well, more or less. The three major countries have twelve caves and secret lands. Other small countries, like Dali, Daguang and Dajian, only have two caves and secret lands."
"Then why not swallow them directly?" Chu Zhiyuan said: "If the imperial court swallows them, won't it also have four more secret places?"
"No matter how young they are, they still have the Emperor's Sword. The gains outweigh the losses. What's more, their secret places are not highly valued by the court. They are all low-level secret places."
"Low-level secret place?"
"Secret lands are also divided into levels, just like spiritual pills are divided into grades," said Concubine Rou: "For example, the four major caves, the four secret lands, and the secret lands of the four major sects are all high-level, and those from other small countries are It’s low-level and has limited potential.”
Chu Zhiyuan suddenly realized that these were secrets among secrets, and neither Tongtian Pavilion nor Mingwu Hall recorded them.
Concubine Rou's existence is too important.
He hesitated and said: "So, it must be from the four major sects?"
"The secret places of the four major sects are the best."
"...If this is the case, wouldn't it be an unsolvable knot?"
"Emperors of all dynasties have been thinking of ways, but the four major sects are not vegetarians and are in a stalemate."
"If Ling becomes a saint, it won't change the situation, right?" Chu Zhiyuan pondered.
"What if you become the emperor?" Concubine Rou chuckled: "That will be different."
Chu Zhiyuan was startled.
Concubine Rou said: "If you become the emperor, the resistance of Yaoyue Palace to you will be further reduced, and it will be more conducive to acceptance."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Isn't the Empress of the West Palace also inviting the Saint of the Moon Palace? The result is still the same."
"If the Empress of the West Palace was not the Saint of Yao Yue Palace, how could Yao Yue Palace be so close to the imperial court now?"
"The women from the other three sects..."
"They are not a women's sect. Female disciples entering the palace are different from inviting them to the Moon Palace."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly. Concubine Rou looked around and said, "Yuan'er, you will also compete for the throne in the future, right?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Grandma, you think I shouldn't fight?"
There were only Zou Fang and Huang Cheng around, so they were not afraid of spreading the news.
As for the emperor, he never wanted to hide it, and he couldn't hide it.
Whoever the emperor wants to listen to must have treasures or secrets, so there is no need to be secretive.
Xu Yingying has the secret method of intercepting and entering secret messages, let alone Emperor Dajing.
Concubine Rou said: "Do you think it must belong to the King of England?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Everyone thinks so, right?"
"There is no way to predict who will take the throne." Concubine Rou said: "Become a Grand Master first, then make meritorious service, and finally the Emperor Sword will choose the master. It's just three steps. In fact, everyone has equal opportunities."
"Who among the great masters has made the greatest contribution, and who is the master of the Emperor's Sword?"
"That's not necessarily the case," Concubine Rou said: "The Emperor's Sword selects people not only based on merit, but also on character, among other things. In short, it's not just about merit."
"So, Uncle Ten is more hopeful." Chu Zhiyuan said: "Uncle Ten is almost destined to become a Grand Master. He has outstanding achievements and good character."
"You don't want to give up the fight, do you?"
"...You have to give it a try." Chu Zhiyuan said.
No matter how wise and wise Uncle Ten is, no matter how kind and generous he is, he will make mistakes after all, and he will inevitably doubt himself.
The Emperor's Sword, which can kill him, hangs above his head all day long, which is really uncomfortable.
He is more accustomed to holding his destiny in his own hands, and it is better to hold the Emperor's Sword in his own hands.
Concubine Rou said softly: "The Emperor's Sword is spiritual and can see into people's hearts and human nature. If you want to fight for the throne, you must not do anything to deceive your heart, especially not to kill your own people. This is the most taboo among taboos."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly.
Concubine Rou said: "If your character is good enough, it will be more secure if you have world-shaking achievements. Yuan'er, this is what you are lacking now."
Chu Zhiyuan pondered.
He actually had an idea at the beginning, using his super sense to deeply analyze and thoroughly analyze the feelings of becoming a master, thereby lowering the threshold for finding a master.
As a result, the number of martial arts masters in the Great Jing Dynasty will inevitably skyrocket, and at the same time, the number of masters in the military will also skyrocket.
Once the strength increases, it is expected to surpass Dazhen and Dameng. Unifying the three dynasties is not a dream.
Later, I felt that this idea was wrong. If I really wanted to find a way, Dazhen and Dameng would definitely be able to steal it. After all, there were so many secret spies.
Da Jing's strength has skyrocketed, and so have they.
So I stopped working hard and focused on my own training.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Concubine Rou coughed violently again, and her veins stood up.
Bai Ningshuang hurriedly brought the jade bottle to her mouth and nose.
Chu Zhiyuan stretched out his palm and put it on Concubine Rou's bright wrist. He had already begun to look at the cave and found that her internal organs were vibrating, forming a strange rhythm.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
No wonder it's so difficult to do, it turns out to be so troublesome.
However, if it is not troublesome, the emperor will not be unable to think about it.
He illuminated it clearly and carefully analyzed the vibration rhythm, feeling vaguely aware of it.
This is an extraordinary force!
He suddenly had a guess and whispered: "Is my grandmother injured by the evil master?"
Concubine Rou's bright eyes suddenly flashed, her coughing gradually stopped, and she wiped away the sweat on her forehead with a white towel: "You can actually see that?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "The great master of Wuwei Sect, right?"
