Wudang's extraordinary status in the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot be explained by a word of piety.
Zhang Sanfeng began to support Taizu before Wudang was officially founded. At that time, Taizu was just one of the many princes in the world.
Officially, with the support of Zhang Sanfeng, Taoism began to favor Taizu. After Zhang Sanfeng became the new generation of Taoist, Taoism began to truly stand behind Taizu.
Since then, Taoism, which has always been indifferent, even participated in the Mingjiao rebellion.
With the support of the top masters of the Taoist sect headed by Zhang Sanfeng, who was able to bring chaos to Chao Gang, the Lanhu Rebellion was quickly put down to maintain the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zhang Sanfeng's series of actions showed the Taoist master's skills, but why he chose Taizu is still a mystery.
Taizu was also too kind to Wudang. Among the scholars, Taizu was criticized as being mean and ungrateful because he killed heroes. However, Taizu was indeed different from Wudang.
Before Zhang Sanfeng established the sect, he granted Wudang eight hundred miles to Zhenwu Temple. However, in terms of the size of the fiefdom, the five princes combined were not as big as Wudang.
If you think that's all, then the situation is too small. During Taizu's lifetime, he visited Wudang three times to visit Zhang Sanfeng. Such actions cannot be explained by the word "advocating Taoism".
On the day when the sect was founded in Wudang, Taizu was already seriously ill, so he sent the crown prince to come to Wudang personally to celebrate on Taizu's behalf. This kind of honor was rare in the history.
Zhang Sanfeng's 100th birthday has also become a major event for the court.
Emperor Zhou was successfully diverted by Yang Qingyuan, "This is the birthday of Master Zhang, and the imperial court should have expressed it. Since you are going back to Wudang, you should go to Wudang on behalf of the court to congratulate Master Zhang on his birthday!"
This time it was not a loss, from asking for leave to a business trip at official expense.
"I obey the decree!"
"Also, when you go to Wudang this time, take Xiaojiu and Shisan with you! They are your disciples and the direct descendants of the second generation of Wudang. They should go to Wudang to become their masters... Congratulations to my uncle on his birthday. By the way, you also want to pay homage to me.
Taizu."
After Zhou Taizu's death, he set up a spiritual throne on Wudang Mountain.
While speaking, Emperor Zhou's expression was a little strange.
Although Yang Qingyuan noticed it, he didn't say much. He just asked, "Are His Highness the Ninth and His Highness the Thirteenth to accompany the ceremonial guard or..."
Yang Qingyuan said half of his words, but Emperor Zhou already knew what Yang Qingyuan meant, "You don't want to go with the guard of honor, do you want to go first?"
"yes!"
It's a waste of time to follow the guard of honor, and you have to be responsible for the complicated affairs of the guard of honor. Yang Qingyuan is not interested in it, so he might as well go ahead. As long as the guard of honor arrives at Wudang on time, it will be fine. It just announces a decree, and the guard of honor only ensures etiquette.
tool man.
Emperor Zhou gently tapped the table after hearing this. It was unreasonable for a prince and princess of a country to travel around the country, but it was not without precedent in Zhou Dynasty.
His own imperial brother, the iron-courage god Hou Zhu, is a precedent. Moreover, if you follow the honor guard, you have to send someone to protect Xiaojiu and Thirteen, but if you follow Yang Qingyuan, you don't have to worry about it.
Although he was not proficient in martial arts, Emperor Zhou was familiar with Yang Qingyuan's martial arts. Cao Zhengchun of Dongchang commented that he was invincible against Dongxuan and could even fight against some weaker Dongxuan.
Even if Emperor Zhou sent someone to protect him secretly, he couldn't use anyone more powerful than Yang Qingyuan, so it would be better to just use Yang Qingyuan.
"Then let Xiaojiu and Shisan follow you! The civil society can also temper them. The late emperor was born among the common people, how can we forget our roots?"
Originally traveling freely in the world, Yang Qingyuan suddenly had to bring two little ones with him, which caught Yang Qingyuan off guard.
But it's not a big deal. The two little ones were just his students, and later they became his true disciples. It was his duty as a teacher to teach the two little ones. In this case, let's bring Yang Guo with him!
The three of them went to Wudang together to authenticate their identities as second-generation disciples.
"I accept the decree!"
In an instant, after considering everything, Yang Qingyuan stood up to receive the order.
After Emperor Zhou explained the matter, he waved his hand to send the two of them away.
"I still have matters to attend to, so please step aside first!"
The suspicion flashed in Yang Qingyuan's eyes, and then he bowed to Li Xunhuan and left the imperial study.
After Yang Qingyuan left, Emperor Zhou lost his previous energy and suddenly leaned on the dragon chair.
Cao Zhengchun, who was accompanying him, immediately stepped forward, took out a jade bottle from the secret compartment of the drawer, took out a pill from it, fed it to Emperor Zhou, and then used his true energy to help Emperor Zhou convert the medicine.
"Your Majesty! Your dragon body is important!"
Emperor Zhou waved his hand towards Cao Zhengchun, "My body, I know very well in my heart. If it were not for the blood ginseng pills that can prolong my life, it would have run out of fuel long ago."
Cao Zhengchun didn't dare to speak. When it came to the dragon's health, it was not something he, the chief internal manager, could say.
"The imperial doctor has long advised me to rest more, but the current situation is gradually out of my control. I have been unable to make a decision on the dispute between the crown prince and the king of Chu. There is no successor to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Who do you think I should choose?
succession?!"
Cao Zhengchun was shocked by Emperor Zhou's words.
"Your Majesty, this is a major event for the Great Zhou Dynasty and will last forever. How dare I, a disabled person like you, dare to speak nonsense!!"
Cao Zhengchun knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. He did not know if this was Emperor Zhou testing him again.
"Hey! Get up!"
Emperor Zhou sighed, "I know your loyalty."
Then he said to himself, "The prince is mellow and virtuous, and has the style of a benevolent king. He should have inherited the throne, but it is a pity that he is too affectionate and surrounds his wife all day long. He loves beauty more than the country. If the prince had died first
If I leave, the prince will naturally be the best candidate for the throne, but if I go to control Long Bintian first, I am afraid that the story of King You of the ancient Zhou Dynasty will happen again."
"Although the King of Chu is very clever and scheming, he is very fond of great achievements and self-righteous. He is not a human king."
Emperor Zhou was very entangled. Although he was not as decisive as the late emperor, he was not an indecisive person. However, facing the successor of the empire and his own flesh and blood, he could not make an easy decision.
"We can only take one step and see one step at a time!"
Now that the power between the Crown Prince and the King of Chu is out of balance, if it is really difficult to make a choice, the only choice is to kill the Crown Princess before she dies!

After Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan left the palace, they separated. Both of them are now in important positions, and they are not as cool as they were two years ago.
Yang Qingyuan was walking on the road, but he was thinking about Emperor Zhou's behavior before. It was too abnormal. His innate body was also extremely sensitive to vitality, and just now Emperor Zhou's body had reflected the breath of decay. Emperor Zhou's body should be
there is a problem.
This is no small matter, Yang Qingyuan thought about it all the way, and when he raised his head, he had already returned to Dali Temple.
Yang Qingyuan immediately cleared away his distracting thoughts. Compared to Emperor Zhou's physical condition and the replacement of the supreme power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was another more important matter.
Yang Qingyuan did not go back to the study, but went straight to Guangwen Division and found Ji Yaohua.
"Miss Yao, do you have any news about the Binghuo Island I asked you to find?!"
