Chapter 1709: Rebellion and proclaiming emperor, ascending to the upper world
Chapter 1709: Rebellion and proclaiming emperor, ascending to the upper world
Su Mingzhe originally thought that Song Kuang, who forced the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty to abdicate, could unify the world.
Who would have thought that in the third year after Song Kuang ascended the throne, just after he unified the twelve northern provinces, he contracted a sudden illness and passed away.
The emperor who succeeded the Song family was not Song Kuang's newly grown son, but his third younger brother Song Geng who was rich and powerful at that time.
Because the son did not inherit his father's legacy, the Song family entered a precarious stage from the very beginning.
In order to prove himself, in the second year after Song Gen ascended the throne, he originally wanted to imitate his elder brother and march south and north.
As a result, before setting off for the expedition, he was "magnificent, swallowing the sun and the moon, unifying the mountains and rivers, and riding six dragons".
After the expedition, he said, "The stars fall and the clouds scatter like rain, and the falling flowers and flowing water mark the late spring."
After several defeats, Song Geng completely consumed all the wealth accumulated by his eldest brother Song Kuang.
After returning to the capital Bianliang, Song Geng noticed that people in Kyoto were restless. In order to consolidate his rule, Song Geng started a massacre mode.
The eldest brother's son, the eldest brother's confidant, and all the people who Song Geng thought might rebel were all killed.
Under this high-pressure rule, Song Geng was murdered by court officials within a few years.
The Song family only existed for twelve years and died in two lifetimes.
And this also revealed the chaotic wars in the Central Plains and the new pattern of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
…
Su Mingzhe originally wanted to "sit on a mountain and watch the dragon fight", but who would have thought that the world has been in chaos for fifty years. Not only has there been no stable trend, but it has become more and more intense. There are flames of war everywhere.
"Forget it, if you count on others, you definitely can't count on it!"
This day.
Su Mingzhe called his brother-in-law Weng Xiangting over and asked about the current life of the Weng family. He learned that he and his wife had given birth to four more children in the past ten years and the population was prosperous, so he said:
"Your eldest sister is pregnant!"
Speaking of Weng Changting's pregnancy, in fact, Weng Changting himself didn't even know about it.
In this life, Su Mingzhe originally wanted to continue the practice in the previous plane and not have children.
After each incident, he would help the woman refine the pure Yang energy.
As all the girls have gained cultivation, Su Mingzhe, in order to save trouble, left the matter of refining pure Yang energy to the women themselves.
Who would have thought that in recent times, Weng Changting had been irritable and had not practiced for more than a month. The Yuan Yin energy in his body combined with the man's pure Yang energy, and she finally became pregnant with the man's child.
…
"Congratulations, brother-in-law!"
When Weng Xiangting heard that his eldest sister was pregnant, he quickly congratulated her.
The reason Su Mingzhe took Weng Changting and Weng Hongting as his concubines was because he had no heirs and wanted Weng Changting to continue his legacy.
Forty or fifty years have passed since then, and maybe Weng Changting has almost forgotten her original intention of marrying a man.
However, now that Weng Changting is pregnant with a man's child for the first time, this is worthy of celebration.
Su Mingzhe waved his hands slightly and waited for Weng Xiangting to calm down before speaking calmly:
"I want to rebel!"
…
Raising an army to rebel is a grave sin for the entire clan.
However, Su Mingzhe is an immortal, and most of his women are also immortals.
Therefore, when Weng Xiangting learned that his brother-in-law was going to rebel, his subconscious was not fear of being implicated, but he was overjoyed:
"Brother-in-law, when will you raise the army?"
"I'm still waiting for my chance."
Although Su Mingzhe had the idea of rebellion, the Yanhuang Miao people’s style of doing things has always been about ‘replacing oneself with fame’!
He couldn't just take the tenants and attack the government when his head got hot, right?
…
After the two discussed it for a while.
Weng Xiangting left happily.
A few more days passed.
In Guobei County, Su Mingzhe began to recruit refugees and reclaim wasteland. At the same time, he suppressed pirates and conducted trade with the outside world.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and three years pass by.
Su Mingzhe already had thousands of hectares of fertile land, 100,000 farmers, and 1,000 merchant ships under his command.
The outside world began to spread rumors that Sujiazhuang was as rich as any other country, and there were mountains of money in the cellar.
This day.
King Wu Yue, who established his country in the south of the Yangtze River, suddenly led an army of 30,000 to surround Sujiazhuang, located in the east of Guobei County, and accused Su Mingzhe of colluding with pirates to rebel.
Su Mingzhe led eight thousand bankers to resist, and in one battle the number exceeded 30,000. King Wu Yue was so frightened that he peed his pants.
Five days later.
Su Mingzhe brought Zhuangke with him, captured the entire Jinhua Mansion, and proclaimed himself General Jinghai.
A few more days.
The King of Wu and Yue summoned an army of 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress them.
Su Mingzhe used 20,000 people to fight against the enemy, and once again defeated the enemy's army.
This time, Su Mingzhe took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, captured Hangzhou, destroyed the Wuyue Kingdom, and proclaimed himself the King of Wu.
At the moment when he established the country and became king, Su Mingzhe felt something in his heart. He looked up at the sky, his eyes became deep and unpredictable.
…
Another ten years have passed.
Su Mingzhe raised an army with his family background in a corner of the Yangtze River, unified several provinces south of the Yangtze River, and finally stopped when he reached Jiaozhi County.
Then another ten years passed.
Su Mingzhe led his troops in the Northern Expedition, which not only conquered the Central Plains, but also reached beyond the Pass.
Nearly a hundred years after traveling to this plane, Su Mingzhe finally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and established the country as Wu.
On the day he ascended the throne, Su Mingzhe led all civil and military officials to the outskirts of the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices.
When Su Mingzhe finished reading the edict of enthronement, he threw it into the blazing fire in Xuanyuan Cauldron.
Suddenly, in the Nine Heavens, there was a faint fairy sound, and the gate of heaven opened.
Hundreds of fairies descended gracefully like giants.
There are dragons, phoenixes, chariots and chariots, guards in golden armor, and they are as powerful as prison.
All civil and military officials were shocked by this scene and quickly kowtowed, not daring to make any sound.
Su Mingzhe, on the other hand, looked calm and looked at the man wearing a golden crown in the carriage:
"Your Excellency is the Emperor of Heaven?"
"I am the Human Emperor Xuanyuan!"
The Human Emperor Xuanyuan, surnamed Gongsun and named Xuanyuan, was one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the ancestor of humanities.
When Su Mingzhe learned the identity of the other party, he bowed and saluted to show respect:
"I am not the only one who has come to the throne. Please forgive me for any negligence!"
"No problem!"
Human Emperor Xuanyuan stepped out of the carriage and revealed his true appearance.
Judging from his appearance, he is only in his thirties. His eyes are calm and domineering, but when he speaks, his tone is relatively gentle:
"Not long ago, my two brothers, the Emperor and the Emperor of Earth, and I were doing meditation in the Fire Cloud Cave. We were reminded by Heaven that a new co-owner is about to be born in the human world, who can ensure the prosperity of the human race for another 120,000 years... I have come down to earth specifically to give you a gift.
Imperial Seal!"
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Although Su Mingzhe doesn't care about the Human Emperor's Seal, this thing is still very beneficial to the human race as a whole.
Therefore, he respectfully took it from Human Emperor Xuanyuan.
Human Emperor Xuanyuan bestowed the Human Emperor Seal, then smiled and said:
"You are an immortal and live as long as heaven and earth. Remember, you must not be greedy for wealth in the world. It is best to ascend to the upper world within a period of time, otherwise it will easily lead to disaster!"
"Thank you, Emperor, for reminding me!"
Su Mingzhe was not familiar with Human Emperor Xuanyuan, so he received the reminder and thanked him respectfully.
After Human Emperor Xuanyuan finished his instructions, he returned to Huoyun Cave with his support.
…
With the blessing of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan and the blessing of the Human Emperor's Seal, Su Mingzhe began drastic reforms on social issues after becoming emperor.
The Great Wu Dynasty was represented by Confucianism and based on law. It established Taoist, martial arts and engineering schools in the capital to educate all people.
Historically known as the ‘Great Wu Xian Dynasty’.
…
Time flies so fast, sixty years go by in the blink of an eye.
This day.
Su Mingzhe called his daughters and descendants to his side, and ordered people to ring the Jingyang bell to summon the civil and military officials.
When everyone walked into Qianqing Palace, they noticed something strange.
The Palace of Qianqing was originally the place where the emperor discussed politics and handled government affairs. There were imperial cases, steps, dragon stone pillars, etc.
Now, as soon as everyone walked in, they found Su Mingzhe wearing a Qiankun Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon, with a towering tree planted behind him.
The laurel tree has billions of roots, rooted in the void, continuously absorbing the energy of chaos.
This chaotic energy is transformed by the laurel tree, then spits out through thousands of leaves, and is absorbed by the stars in the sky; the vast galaxy is nourished by the spiritual energy, and swims around the man, making the man's aura vague and invisible, as if merging with the void.
.
When everyone took a closer look, they saw that Su Mingzhe's eyes were slightly lowered, and his whole body was filled with glowing light, exuding bursts of strange fragrance.
After everyone was surprised, they quickly paid homage:
"Kowtow to my emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, and wish the Great Heavenly Lord the same longevity as the sky, the same root as the earth, unbreakable for all tribulations, and eternal existence for eternity!"
"Everyone is safe!"
Su Mingzhe opened his eyes, and the light flashed deep in his eyes, which contained endless principles of truth.
After scanning the crowd, Su Mingzhe sighed:
"Sixty years ago, when I ascended the throne, the Human Emperor came and warned me not to reign for more than a year, otherwise disaster would befall me!
"Now that my term has expired, it's time for me to ascend to the upper realm. Before I leave, I have some words to tell you..."
