Everything seemed to make sense.
Things that had been seen as foggy and unclear before now seem to have corresponding explanations as Xu Shanshan's identity is exposed.
After being extremely shocked, everyone knelt down tremblingly. To see you in white, you need to bow to the ground and not look directly at him.
Until the Huo family's army welcomed the king back, the group set off back to the capital. The wheels were sparkling, the morning snow was falling, and the wind was blowing the military flags.
The gate of Qihe City was opened in a hurry, and the people inside rushed out. The main staff of the city and others waved their hands and shouted excitedly - Your Majesty...
They threw themselves to the ground, took a mouthful of ice and snow, gasped for air, and stared anxiously ahead with their eyes, following the figure of the emperor riding on the golden horse.
But I can't see you on the winding mountain road, and there is only a place for horses to walk in the sky above the snow.
"Your Majesty...are you really your Majesty..."
They felt melancholy, with regret, confusion, loss and panic in their eyes. They were afraid that this day... was going to change.
When Wei Canghao, Chi Jiangdong, Gu Yuejiarong, Li Yehe and Tang Jiashan heard the dull sound in the distance, they raised their heads and stood up slowly.
The fiancée jumped from a commoner to the supreme Nine-Five Supreme. As soon as she regained her identity, she severed ties with the five of them...
Oh.
Self-deprecation, bitter laughter, laughter, boredom, and resentment.
How are the five of them different from those abandoned wives in folk tales?
Oh, there are still some differences.
Those women can also seek comment from upright officials and ministers, redress their grievances, or publicize the situation to the public to condemn and express their grievances.
But who are they trying to sue?
Which minister dares to comment?
Which common people dare to cricket?
The five of them stood quietly in the morning light. Their tall and straight figures seemed to be outlined with a layer of gold in the halo, and their chiseled faces exuded varying degrees of charming charm.
... But I don’t know if it’s because they were dazzled, but they also vaguely exude a kind of resentment after being abandoned. The resentment is as real as a substance. When people get close, they feel a depressing aura.
"Your Majesty..." Chi Jiangdong held his head and said irritably and angrily: "How can she be Emperor Yue?"
Wei Canghao also took a deep breath, but this breath obviously couldn't make him feel comfortable, and his chest was still tight.
"Did you hear what she said? She wants the world to be unified and does not allow any independent jurisdiction beyond her control, nor does she allow any existence that threatens the royal power..."
It just so happens that he is the only overlord in Longdong now. If she feels that his existence is a threat, she will definitely launch another war against Longdong.
Meeting her on the battlefield and becoming her enemy is definitely not something Wei Canghao would like to see.
Li Yehe wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, his lips stained with red, which made his face look cold and white.
He smiled: "Now that King Yu is dead, Sheyuan has become a truly unclaimed land. I have always been secretly in charge of several cities and Xianglian. I am afraid that I, the Dark Emperor, will also become a thorn in her side. ”
"She wants Jingguo to enjoy eternal peace, eliminate the influence of Xuanzong Taoism, and only believe in monarchy and law. She is afraid that there will be a great turmoil in the sect of Buddhism." Gu Yuejiarong looked at Master Jiashan worriedly.
As for the Gu Yue family, they are loyal ministers to the emperor, and they have not colluded with other dark forces in recent years, so it is okay.
It’s just that students from their academy participate in politics and serve as officials, and they are closely related to the imperial court. If they are instigated by someone with intentions, it will easily arouse suspicion...
It seems that he should do something to keep his Gu Yue family safe in the sudden changes in the future.
Master Jiashan's eyes were slightly closed, and his long and thick eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyelids: "Everything in the world is impermanent, and your future destiny will be determined. You should observe the nature of the Dharma Realm, and everything is created only by your mind." Chi Jiangdong listened to the concerns of several of them. After that, I no longer continued to worry about Xu Shanshan's true identity, but felt lucky: "I am a Jianghu person, so I should have no conflict of interest with the court..."
Seeing his relaxed look of staying out of the matter, Li Yehe felt unhappy in his heart and raised the corner of his mouth: "Who knows, she only thinks that it is under Pu Tianxia, is it the king's land, is it the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers, these years Those of you who have become more and more arrogant in the past may also be within the scope of her purge. ”
Chi Jiangdong's face turned dark instantly.
——
For hundreds of years, Jingguo has been a country that believes in the way of heaven. Divine power has greatly affected and restricted the majesty of royal rule. They even have to pay homage to the god Wenchang and Fortune in exams, destiny, and to help with reading and writing.
Xuanmen, Tianmen, Dharma Gate, Taoism Gate, and Buddhism were also very prosperous for a while, with the temple where the great master was located as the center of power.
But gradually, the interference of divine power made Jing's internal affairs chaotic.
The emperor gradually realized that relying on divine power to govern the country was far inferior to laws and systems to govern the people. The process that a country should complete was to establish a more efficient governance system and fight against feudal forces through political and military means.
Thirty-six years ago, a fight between thirteen of the most powerful magicians on the coast of the South China Sea was to change all this.
The Grand Master's attitude at the time was ambiguous, and she had a vague intention of "ruling by doing nothing", but she was not the winner in the end.
Nor was it presided over by Jialan, who governed the country with kindness and tolerance according to Buddhist teachings.
But Qingwu Shen.
An unknown person, but one who is at the top of the magic arts.
This person's origin, age, and gender were all a secret at first, but now someone is spreading the news that Qingwu is not only a legendary woman, but also the Emperor Yue who has been bedridden.
Of course, few people are willing to believe such ridiculous and bizarre things.
But recently, this unhealthy rumor has become more and more serious.
Jingguo Palace
Yanshou Palace
The Empress Dowager was fiddling with the precious Buddhist beads in her hands, looking calmly at Emperor Yue on the sickbed.
He wore a jade-white mask, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his exposed skin was pale and purple, looking weak and dying.
"Aren't you back yet?" Her old and deep voice sounded in the empty palace.
The purple and gold incense burner behind the gauze curtain floated white smoke quietly, and a wisp of smoke that rose up turned into a white figure, kneeling on the ground.
"Back to the Queen Mother, your Majesty will enter the palace immediately after handling some private matters."
The Queen Mother's slightly cloudy eyes lit up, and the corners of her drooping mouth raised: "She finally came back smoothly."
She stood up, glanced at the person on the bed again, and sighed heavily.
"After keeping you for so long, I can't keep you anymore..."
She stepped out of the gate of Yanshou Palace and looked up at the sky. The blue sky was like a huge sapphire, so pure that there was no trace of impurities, but a layer of gray clouds in the distance was slowly drifting towards this side...
There was a damp smell in the air, indicating that a storm was coming.
"Son of God, the Ai family believes in you just as they believe in the late emperor. The Ai family will not tolerate anyone who blocks your way." (End of Chapter)
