"In my opinion, this Leng Palace has become the land of Taiyin, and the clouds are so thick. It is better to set up a Yin refining formation and use the formation method to refine the Yin in Leng Palace. I think I can solve the clouds in Leng Palace."
Qing Xiao put away his eyes and calmly expressed his thoughts beside Cao Su.
Qingxiao is one of the most profound cultivators in the field and a good friend of Cao Su. He came here to respond to Cao Su's call on behalf of the Taoist Palace. After investigating, he was the first to give his own suggestions.
Cao Su said "hmm", formation refining seemed to be a way.
However, he summoned ten sects to gather here today, not to listen to their opinions. What should be done is a matter for professionals. What he has to do specifically is to supervise their implementation of methods to solve the problem of Taiyin.
And at the same time, they used their means to convey the affairs of the cold palace.
There is actually a Taiyin Land in the imperial city. No wonder the destiny of the entire empire is plummeting. Even the destiny Canglong ran out during the previous turmoil in the city of gods and wanted to escape from the prison of destiny. Looking at it now, everything is in trouble.
There is a reason.
"It seems inappropriate to refining Yin in a large formation."
Not long after Qing Xiao finished stating his opinions, Taoists from other sects stood aside and put forward different ideas.
Cao Su turned around and saw that it was Taoist Jin Ling from Jiuling Mountain.
Taoist Priest Jin Ling holds a high position in Jiuling Mountain and is also an accomplished monk in the late stage of alchemy. He said bluntly: "If it is a large formation, it will inevitably destroy the feng shui of the entire imperial city. You must know that the establishment of this imperial city
, ranging from the east-west pattern to the small pillars and the planting of each tree, all are particular. It doesn’t matter if we cast spells in the imperial city, but once a large formation is set up, the feng shui of the imperial city will be ruined."
What Taoist Master Jin Ling said seemed to make sense. After hearing this, Cao Su solemnly nodded in affirmation.
Qing Xiao frowned. He had not thought about the issue of Feng Shui, but the current imperial city was controlled by Cao Su both inside and outside. Although the imperial city was still an imperial city, it was sparsely populated, not to mention the concubines that should be there.
Even the internal servants were pitiful. It was said that it was a cold palace, but it was a cold palace. The entire imperial city was like a cold palace, deserted and deserted. Most of the palace was filled with soldiers under Cao Su's command.
Does such an imperial city still care about Feng Shui? Even the Luck Canglong...
Although Qing Xiao is obsessed with practicing swordsmanship, it’s not that he doesn’t understand anything. No matter what, the emperor is still there, so the emperor’s influence must be taken into consideration. Therefore, after Taoist Master Jin Ling raised his objection, Qing Xiao stopped talking.
.
Jin Ling was surprised. He didn't expect that Taoist Master Qingxiao sent by the Taoist Palace this time was so easy to talk to.
Although he is a swordsman by training, his personality seems to be that of a pure and inactive wood cultivator.
Tai Shiqiu, the Taoist sent by the Xuanyun Sect, said in a deep voice: "Then why not send disciples to the Taiyin Land to investigate first. If the Taiyin Land really swallows up the entire small world, then the actual scope of the Taiyin Land will be...
It may be much wider than imagined.”
It is a reasonable approach to investigate first and then make a judgment.
Bai Laiming's Qi Refiners are all here, Taoist Palace, Jiuling Mountain and other Taoist priests. After thinking about it, they all nodded in agreement.
It can be said that Xuanyun Sect's suggestion was accepted, and the rich Yin Qi and unusual clouds here have completely aroused everyone's interest.
Cao Su didn't expect that after thinking for a long time, they would come up with such an impossible solution.
"Normally speaking, it is very easy for Zhiyin treasures to be born in the land of Taiyin. If you can find the treasure in this land of Taiyin, it will be an extra surprise." Taoist priest Jin Ling next to Cao Su smiled, and their three major sects
The cause is great, but even they themselves are very moved by some of the treasures of heaven and earth that are helpful for cultivating Taoism.
However, this is all just speculation at the moment, and further exploration is needed to determine what it looks like inside.
The leaders of several sects gathered together and without hiding anything from Cao Su, they began to discuss some matters regarding entering the Cold Palace.
Cao Su didn't have much interest when he heard about the Taiyin Treasure. As long as he spends a certain amount of time to digest the essence gained in several battles, he can continue to progress to an incredible state, and wait for the Tongtian City
Before anyone comes, if he breaks through to the mysterious realm in one fell swoop, then he can change his appearance and truly enter a new realm.
Therefore, his demand for treasures is not very high. Seeing that the various sects are very interested, he will not stop them.
Instead, he said: "Since you are interested in exploring, the Cold Palace will be left to the various sects. However, this imperial city is an imperial city after all. When you act in the Cold Palace, you need to be careful and do not collide with the Holy Frame."
After Cao Su gave a few warnings, he designated the area of Leng Palace and handed it over to the ten sects.
He led the armored soldiers and left the cold palace and walked towards the imperial city.
The imperial city was deserted, but there were many of Cao Su's troops, almost every five steps to one post. After all the soldiers saw Cao Su, their expressions remained unchanged and they continued to guard, paying slight attention.
Cao Su led some generals and walked quickly, and soon arrived at the Qianyuan Hall in front.
The Qianyuan Hall is the main hall of the imperial city, and the main hall is also the place where people go to court. However, since Cao Su took control of the imperial city, the time and number of times that officials went to court has been limited to a handful. In addition, the Military Machinery Pavilion has been established and is temporarily ruled by the general.
In the Junji Pavilion, all matters in the pavilion must go through the hands of the general. The Qianyuan Palace is like an empty shell, leaving only a deserted palace and a lonely figure.
】
That figure sat there all day long. Although someone took care of him, his complexion was getting worse day by day.
When Cao Su walked to the Qianyuan Hall, he was lying on the green bricks of the Qianyuan Hall like a dead body. After hearing the noise, he had no intention of getting up. However, Cao Su's huge body stood at the entrance of the hall, blocking the way.
When he caught the sunlight coming in, he roared in a hoarse voice.
"Be bold!"
"I am the emperor, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
Wen You was lying there. His dragon robe was wrinkled and torn. He was as skinny as firewood. He had lost an unknown amount of hair. He seemed to have lost all his energy, flesh and blood. He was obviously not yet twenty years old, but he looked like a dying tree.
old man.
Cao Su shook his head slightly, the world was in ruins, and the Qian and Yuan Dynasty would also come to an end. Now that Wen You is here, he is just a tool of his.
The man has lost his vitality, and his flesh and blood have been drained by the great luck. The reason why he can survive until now is because he is young, otherwise he would have died suddenly.
He walked up to him and looked down at him with a stern look.
Through the messy hair, Wen You saw Cao Su's indifferent eyes. The cold and indifferent eyes seemed to reveal a little pity, which stung him, and he sneered "ho ho ho".
"Emperor, the world is in chaos. As the emperor, you are responsible."
Cao Su explained the facts and spoke calmly to Wen You.
Wen You seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world: "I am the emperor, and the world belongs to me, so what responsibility do I have to bear? Besides, the world is in chaos, isn't it because of you... there are too many rebellious officials and traitors?
Is that so? If all the people in the world are loyal to the emperor and serve the country, how can the world be in chaos?"
"What you said makes sense, but there is something wrong with your logical sequence."
The first half of Cao Su's sentence made Wen You stunned, thinking he had convinced him, but in the second half of the sentence, Cao Su pointed out the emperor's problem so bluntly, which made Wen You even more angry. In the past, Rong Zheng would at least address him respectfully.
"Your Majesty", now this Cao thief doesn't even bother to cover up, and his ambition is obvious.
Cao Su had wanted to say these words for a long time, but he never had the chance. He said calmly to Wen You: "It's very simple, because everyone's ultimate goal is only one thing, and that is - to live."
"What you call loyalty to the emperor and serving the country must be based on living. If everyone is gone, how can we still be loyal to the emperor?"
"But look at this world, how many people can survive now? Land annexation, oppression by wealthy families, soaring food prices... Human life is like grass, falling one after another, and there is no way to survive.
, who will listen to you?"
"And everything I said is related to your Heavenly Family. You hold high positions but do not seek political leadership. You ignore the lives of thousands of civilians, which leads to the decline of national power. In addition, natural disasters and man-made disasters have occurred all over the world.
How can we enjoy the incense of the Emperor's Temple any longer?"
Wen You listened to Cao Su's deafening voice and said three words in every word - he is not worthy!
So straightforward, so brutally tearing open the fig leaf, trampling on his remaining dignity and rubbing it under his feet, and the last sentence was more like raising a butcher's knife, making Wen You, who was originally a bit cowardly, suddenly
His face turned pale and he was slightly scared.
But immediately, he felt ashamed for his fear just now. What else was he afraid of? The world was almost gone, and he was about to become a subjugated king. What else could he lose?
Just like the old traitor Rongzheng, what Cao Su did was the same as Rongzheng.
This empire is rotten to the core. No matter how many people are replaced, there will be no good results. However, his face is still full of dissatisfaction, and he laughs "ho ho ho" a few times.
: "Speaking of a thousand words, you are still trying to get your hands on the artifact for your own selfish desires. You said that I don't seek politics. Have you given me this opportunity? Have I ever issued a political order since I ascended the throne?
"
Cao Su shook his head repeatedly and laughed dumbly: "In the political affairs of the DPRK, every detail needs to be carefully studied and investigated before implementation. You ascended to the throne at a young age, and all your energy was used to seize power. You are not good at generals and military skills.
Wen doesn’t know about agricultural benefits and household registration, so it’s really embarrassing for you to be the emperor.”
Wen You:..........
He stared at Cao Su angrily, and he didn't know where he got the strength to struggle to sit up. Under his hanging hair, his eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes.
Cao Su turned around and left the Qianyuan Palace. Before leaving, he said: "Your Majesty, you should prepare yourself. You will be king by the end of this year. When the world is peaceful, your Majesty can leave this cage-like imperial city and go outside."
Take a look, maybe then you won't have the same thoughts you have now."
Wen You was shocked when he heard the previous words, but his expression did not change.
Is this day finally coming?
In fact, he had already made preparations in his heart. After becoming king, he would become emperor. Unexpectedly, after hearing you, he became the last emperor of Qianyuan Kingdom and the king of subjugation... Cao
He didn't listen at all to the last sentence Su said. In ancient history, how many kings who subjugated their country could die a happy death?
A feeling of sadness surged into his heart, and Wen You fell limply on the ground and began to cry sadly.
At first, the cry was very soft, just his shoulders twitching. Perhaps he thought that he was the only one in the entire Qianyuan Palace and the entire imperial city, so he no longer had any scruples and started to cry loudly, lamenting his own misfortune.
I mourn the fate of Qianyuan.
------------------
Cao Su returned to the general's mansion.
There are many office workers coming and going in the General's Mansion every day, mostly military attachés.
A large number of military attachés brought intelligence from various places and gathered it into Cao Su's hands.
"Lingzhou was in turmoil. Wei Hai, Zhang Yin, and Zhencang were fighting in a melee. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were involved. More than a million people were swept away by the war, and a large number of refugees fled."
The recent important focus, in addition to the war in Xizhou, is the unrest in Lingzhou.
Cao Su put down the Lingzhou official newspaper, frowned, and looked at Wei Kai: "Master Wei, this seal..."
"It seems that those who came to Jiangzhou in the early years were indeed from Lingzhou. The three brothers Zhang Yin were good at martial arts. Later they went to Ruzhou to develop. I don't know where they got some people. They came to Lingzhou a few months ago.
He was treated as an honored guest by Bai Bao, the master of Lingzhou Palace. After Bai Bao died, he entrusted Lingzhou to the three brothers Zhang Yin, and also handed over eight thousand silver dragon troops to them."
"What? How can such a thing happen?"
After hearing this, Cao Su was surprised: "Who does this seal belong to Bai Bao? An illegitimate son? Why should Lingzhou be entrusted to this person? Isn't it good to entrust it to me, Mr. Cao?"
Wei Kai smiled awkwardly: "The general doesn't know that Bai Bao and Zhang Yin are brothers in the same sect. They have known each other a long time ago, but Zhang Yin's background is relatively humble, and he has never been able to have anything since then.
As a result, when he was in Lingzhou, Bai Bao supported Zhang Yin more, and Zhang Yin was quite courageous. Later, he had to go out on his own, and after meeting two sworn brothers, he left Lingzhou and went to Jiangzhou.
Ruzhou and other places.”
Cao Su frowned and said, "What sect?"
Wei Kai shook his head and said: "It's not the Jianghu sect, it's the sect of the great scholar Kuang Fu of the Dao sect."
He paused and then said: "That Kuang Fu is the eldest uncle of Kuang Yuanzhou, the former head of Youzhou Palace, and he is also a famous Confucian of his generation."
"It turns out he is a disciple of Confucianism."
It suddenly dawned on Cao Su that he could probably understand why Bai Bao made such a choice.
Wei Kai said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, Zhang Yin raided Zhencang. Now in Lingzhou, Zhang Yin's silver dragon army is in full swing. If there is no external force to hinder it, it won't take long before Wei Hai and Zhencang will be defeated.
The three Zhang Yin brothers drove out of Lingzhou."
When Cao Su heard this, he knew what Wei Kai meant, and he frowned: "Lingzhou has a vast territory, rich resources, and a large population. It is one of the areas that has not been affected by the Wanping Rebellion before. It still retains considerable strength. If it is defeated by Zhang
I'm afraid it's not a good thing for Yin to completely control Lingzhou. Does Master Wei have any good ideas?"
Wei Kai didn't hesitate and said seriously: "Why don't we make Chu Xinfeng the Lord of Lingzhou Palace? I heard that Chu Xinfeng is not profitable in Yuzhou now. I think he is also willing to go to Lingzhou to get some benefits."
Cao Su was startled. He kept focusing on the land in Lingzhou. He didn't expect Wei Kai to give him such a suggestion.
Is it a plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves? He thought about it carefully and burst into laughter.
"Master Wei is a good calculator. I have Master Wei alone, which is better than thousands of troops!"
