At the dawn of the fifth watch, the sound of bells and drums rang through the sky, urging the officials to come to court quickly. The officials set out from their mansions, passed through the vermilion gate of the imperial city, and walked towards the palace.
In Fengtian Hall, officials were lined up in front of the hall according to their official ranks, chatting in low voices, waiting for the emperor's arrival. At this time, the eunuchs hurried past them holding the imperial edict wrapped in yellow silk and entered the hall.
The drums beat loudly and the emperor appears.
He sat on the dragon chair, with gorgeous dragon flags and attendants behind him. The emperor's eyes swept across the queue, and the officials bowed their heads and kowtowed, shouting in unison: "Long live, long live, long live!"
The sound echoed in the hall, shocking people's hearts.
Subsequently, the court meeting began, and the emperor listened to the reports of the officials and made decisions one by one.
During this process, there was silence in the hall, with only the emperor's voice echoing. The officials stood upright, listened carefully to the instructions, and recorded these instructions for execution after returning.
Nowadays, the world is peaceful and peaceful, and there are great practitioners guarding the four places. Many major disasters have been nipped in the cradle before they appear. Most of the discussions in all the court meetings are new things.
Nowadays, humans, monsters and monsters have become one clan, so there are many things that are inconsistent with the ancestral rules and must be changed.
For example: According to regulations, regarding the division of the four demon clans, some ethnic groups, such as the Mountain God Clan, have to draw a clear line between themselves and the demon clan, and must be worshiped by humans unless they claim to be gods.
Also, the subject that new alien races, including humans, must learn is the Pure Heart Curse. If they fail to pass the Pure Heart Curse, they will not even have the opportunity to go to school and continue their studies. Parents and elders will be punished for privately teaching spells and cultivation.
As a result, many great practitioners are dissatisfied. Parents are still restricted from giving things to their children? You are not convinced!
There are even more problems with interracial marriages. Some ethnic groups have both boys and girls, and they give birth to children of both sexes. Some children are married off, and some take wives. How should inheritance rights be calculated in this way?
There are also those weird people who make friends with human women. One day they suddenly want to have in-depth communication, and then the girl Tiankui arrives and scatters the weird body. Is that considered murder or intentional injury?
There are also some plant-based monsters who are keen on others enjoying their fruits. They will actively give them to others even if they don't use them. However, after they transform, they enjoy them in a strange way, such as coconut trees. Does this count as sexual harassment?
…
Until the evening, the court meeting finally dispersed, and the emperor was dizzy due to the noise from the ministers. Everyone held their own opinions on these strange questions, and even made some very outrageous suggestions.
For example, the remains of human beings after death can be sold directly to those tree monsters, and the government can also open a long-term loan, sell houses and land, etc. After death, can't you still make money and repay the loan if you become a ghost?
There are many key issues. Father Zhong has not come back, and he cannot make the decision.
When it comes to the orders of great cultivators and emperors, they don't listen at all. There are only two orders in the world that they will be afraid of, one is Prince Zuo, and the other is the mysterious and lustful little yellow cat.
"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner!"
The emperor nodded and sat down: "Well! Let's serve it!"
At noon, he casually dealt with the civil and military officials in the Fengtian Palace and took a bite of the instant pre-prepared dish introduced by some idiot. It was said to be simple, fast, clean, hygienic and nutritious, but he couldn't even take half a bite of the taste.
But as an emperor, he naturally wanted to set an example, so he had to force himself to eat it. After eating, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he quickly took a Bu Yuan Dan to calm down his shock.
Uncomfortable!
Central hall.
When the emperor saw the people sitting at the dinner table, he looked surprised, and then he was overjoyed: "Father Zhong, when did you come back?"
After saying that, he scolded the eunuch who was waiting on the side: "You bitch, why didn't you tell me earlier when Father Zhong came back? I could prepare a grand welcome ceremony and go out of the city to greet him in person, and be the first to talk to Father Zhong."
"Your Majesty, forgive me, but this slave deserves to die!"
Zuo Zixiong raised his hand to stop: "Your Majesty, in the new era, there are no more slaves. Everyone has their own personal rights, freedom, and dignity."
The eunuch immediately knelt down, looking horrified.
"Your Highness, I have already decided to dedicate everything I have to Your Majesty. If you want me to die, I will die voluntarily. Please don't say this again."
Prince Zuo was a little helpless.
Although it is a new court and a new world, there are still too many people who want to be dogs, and they are even willing to use their lives to maintain their right to be dogs.
Why?
The new emperor of the Ming Dynasty was named Chongzhen. The previous emperor inherited the throne inexplicably. After finding that he had nothing to do, he played songs every night and even tried various alien games.
As a result, even with various tonics and services as a practitioner, he still died young. But because he made no contribution during his reign, he is still serving in the underworld, waiting for the opportunity to be reincarnated as an adult.
Of course, I heard that the guy wanted to be reincarnated into a Yellow-bellied Iron-clawed Bunting, because according to research by researchers, Yellow-bellied Iron-clawed Buntings have to mate at least 365 times a week, and when the desire is strong, they mate more than five times an hour.
In the end, I was directly rejected by the Ministry of Reincarnation Affairs because this behavior really discredited the human race.
Then the emperor succeeded to the throne, with the reign name of Chongzhen. In his view, it was time to revitalize the Ming Dynasty by taking over the mess left by his father and brother. "Chongzhen" and "revitalization" are homophonic, which is exactly the same as his
consistent with the ideals of governing the country.
Chongzhen sat next to Zuo Zixiong and personally served the meal with the dignity of an emperor, showing great courtesy.
He still respected his father-in-law very much. Not only did he respect his invincible strength, but he was also grateful. If this man hadn't come out of nowhere to turn the tide and help the building to collapse, the crumbling tomorrow would have disappeared early.
The current prosperous age of Chongzhen.
Maybe he will be recorded in the history books in the future.
However, sometimes people's desires are higher than the sky.
The little yellow cat jumped up and down on the big long table, taking a bite from this one and a bite from that one. Then Prince Zuo didn't mind and just ate what the little yellow cat jumped over.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! While eating meals and drinking ginseng tea, Chongzhen said intentionally or unintentionally: "Father Zhong, my son is now an adult. According to the rules of my Ming Dynasty, it is
Isn’t it time to do something practical for the people and the world? I don’t want to be like my brother and have to serve in the underworld after my death. It’s too embarrassing.”
Lao Zuo was a little surprised: "Why did your Majesty say this? Nowadays, aren't all major affairs in the world decided by your Majesty and the ministers?"
"Father Zhong, I mean, all rights! The emperor should have been supreme, but now the soldiers and even the imperial guards in the capital only obey the orders of Father Zhong. I feel like a decoration.
.
Do you think this is okay?"
Lao Zuo laughed: "Your Majesty, how far has your martial arts cultivation reached? Even if I give up my position to you now, do you think they will listen to you?"
"Haha, Father Zhong is joking. Today is a peaceful and prosperous age. As an emperor and a respected figure, my son only needs to sit in the rear and arrange troops. There is no need for any martial arts training.
As for disobedience, then find someone who is obedient. My Ming Dynasty has prosperous martial arts and is rich all over the world. The treatment of officials far exceeds that of previous generations, and there are many practitioners who want to work for me." Chongzhen said confidently.
Lao Zuo shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Son, have you usually gone to the Imperial Garden to see the red carps kept there?"
Chongzhen was startled, hesitated for a while, and then replied: "I have seen it. It seems that these are the species specially selected by Mr. Le from the aquarium. They are graceful and graceful. Just watching them on the shore makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"
Lao Zuo nodded: "Yes, they have the protection of Mr. Le, intentionally or unintentionally. Every day, people come to feed them on time. When there is a drought, some people transport water from thousands of miles to add water to the pond. When they are sick, there are practitioners who come to treat them. The cold weather is scary.
They were frozen, and strong men came to interfere with the celestial phenomena.
Even so, carp will die from time to time in the pond, do you know how they die?"
Chongzhen was a little surprised and seemed to remember something: "My children once saw that they like to jump to the shore, and then have special people to take care of them, and then throw them back. But people always slack off, and sometimes there are carp alive on the shore.
Fuck to death.
It's also possible that some caretakers didn't pick them up and let the carps die 'naturally', and then sell them to wealthy families to eat. After all, this is the carp that Mr. Le loves to see. Maybe there is something magical about it. Maybe if you eat it,
Your cultivation will greatly increase and you will live forever."
After saying this, Chongzhen looked at his father proudly, obviously very satisfied with his intelligence and reasoning, which most people would never expect.
Lao Zuo took a deep look at him and said with a meaningful smile: "What I mean is that when nothing in this world can threaten the safety of those carp, sometimes, the biggest danger actually comes from themselves.
That's how life is. You just want to escape, but what you don't know is that if you jump out, you may not be able to survive."
Chongzhen's smile faltered, and he stared blankly at Zhong's father, who was always friendly and full of goodwill to him, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart.
Only with the support of Father Zhong can he secure the throne, but similarly, if Father Zhong objects, the Ming Dynasty can also change its emperor at any time.
But why, since you have made yourself the supreme and only one, the lord of the world, why don't you give everything you deserve? Is your existence just a mascot?
Even sometimes, he felt that he was not as good as the cat raised by Zhong's father. At least he had dignity! The dignity of countless people to please and respect him.
No, he is the emperor, so he should not change his face even if the mountain collapses before him, and he should endure what ordinary people cannot endure.
"Hahaha! What Father Zhong taught me is that the child is still young and should study more. In the future, I ask Father Zhong to teach the child more martial arts. In the future, I will be like Father Zhong, riding on horseback in the underworld.
Shock the world!"
Chongzhen forced a smile on his face, stretched out his chopsticks, picked out a piece of braised pork from the plate of braised pork that the little yellow cat was lying on the table, and put it into Lao Zuo's bowl.
"Speaking of which, everything in this world is really unpredictable. Twenty years ago, when the world collapsed, who would have thought that now every household has meat to eat and can still eat three full meals a day.
Hey, Father Zhong, I heard that if I had a big bowl of stew, I could have five wives, is this true?"
Lao Zuo gave him a strange look: "Your Majesty, you may be overthinking it. If it comes to that time, there will be drought and food shortages, people will not be able to make a living, and even the bark of the trees will be eaten away, there will probably be no one to replace it with you."
"Why?" Chongzhen was a little surprised.
"Do you know how many bowls of meat can be stewed by five wives?"
Little yellow cat:......
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lao Zuo with a complicated expression: "Father Zhong, you are really good at being a human being!"
…
The sun sets in the west.
Prince Zuo finally ended his friendly and cordial conversation with the emperor, and slowly stepped out of the palace with the respectful attitude of the attendants and guards.
The palace wall is tall and solid, dyed golden yellow by the afterglow of the setting sun. On the top of the city wall, soldiers standing guard can be vaguely seen, and their figures look particularly solemn under the reflection of the setting sun.
There are few pedestrians and vehicles on the streets. Some people are still busy on the streets, some are shopping, some are walking, and some are chatting.
In the small river not far away, the water was exceptionally clear. There were several small boats driving slowly on the river, and people on the boats were fishing. It was obvious that they had harvested a lot for the whole day, and there was no trace of the fish baskets.
As for Le Ye, he was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, and there were whispers and envious looks from the guards behind him.
"Hey, I really envy Mr. Le. He has the two incredible abilities of "strong stomach" and "falling asleep at any time". It's like being born with billions of wealth."
"Are you talking about "he eats a lot and is always hungry?" and "is listless all day long and never gets enough sleep?" I have both of these functions, but I'm not happy!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone:...
Zuo Zixiong smiled, took a step forward, rose into the air, reached the high altitude, stared attentively, raised his hands, and clenched his fists.
One punch!
"Bang~"
Smashing the void, one person and one cat came to a mysterious place.
This is the source of the world, the origin of all things, and the birthplace of the way of heaven. Ten years ago, after he convinced people with his virtue and conquered practitioners from all over the world, martial arts advanced several steps.
Refining the marrow, refining the orifices, shattering the vacuum, and finally chasing the stars and the moon are easy.
After that, I followed the guidance in the dark and came to the place where the way of heaven originated. At that time, the place was dark and gloomy, even shabby, and there was an aura of decay and decay everywhere. Only a little immortal golden light allowed the way of heaven to last forever.
According to common sense, he should conform to the way of heaven and use his unparalleled cultivation to bear the power of sinking and decay. At that time, he can be like the legendary golden immortal, and the world will be destroyed but he will not be destroyed.
But he didn't do that. Instead, he wanted to dedicate the world to Le Ye. According to his thinking, since Le Ye loves to eat so much, then this way of heaven may be more to his liking.
Tiandao:???
Discuss this matter with Le Ye, the little yellow cat is also stupid.
Later, Lao Zuo entered the inner world of the little yellow cat and learned what it meant to sit in a well and look at the sky.
One sand and one world, one water and one paradise.
There is actually a vast and boundless world inside Le Ye's body. There are thousands of huge planets like theirs alone, and there are also a dozen or so boundless planets that make him feel like he will be burned just by getting close to them.
day.
So scary.
During these ten years, Lao Zuo has been thinking about his own future and the future of the world.
In the end, he finally figured it out. No matter when in this world, there is actually the simplest way to win: hug your thigh and recognize your father.
This is called not forgetting the original intention.
Now that the place of origin of Heavenly Dao has been almost restored to its original state, letting Master Le eat it won’t hurt his stomach. Will he always be Master Le’s loyal minister in the future?
