The first thousand two hundred and forty-three chapters cut the destiny (on)
jade capital city
The autumn air is crisp and clear. The wind from the northwest has swept away the dark clouds and driven the astronomical tidal warm current back to the Blackwater Ocean. After half a month of sunshine and nourishment, the rice flowers are fragrant everywhere, and it is harvest time again.
In the study room of the East Palace, several ministers were waiting. The emperor was in poor health, and the prince was supervising the country. He was handling political affairs day and night. The room was filled with cigarettes, which were good for the body and energy. Each one was worth ten gold.
The prince was reviewing a paper and was silent for a long time. He just looked at the scenery outside through the window. He took a long breath, leaned on the chair and said, "Prices have risen again recently."
"Yes, despite repeated government orders, people still rushed to buy food, causing market prices to rise rapidly." Minister Huang Zizhi bowed and said.
The prince glanced and said nothing, remaining silent.
The prince knows this. The shocking news of the Black Emperor's death spread in the heaven, and the news is controlled in the human world. However, the relationship between the immortals in the heaven and the descendants in the human world is inextricably linked. In recent days, the emperor, nobles, ministers, and other officials have been well-informed.
The monks gradually learned that everyone has different visions, personalities and positions. It is difficult to say what they are thinking. For a while, they only felt deep fear: "Even the emperor can't protect himself... so what about us?"
Of the two pillars of the Black Vein, the Black Water is more eager to the Black Vein Immortals, but it is very far away from people on the ground. Although the Water Palace system maintains a distance from human society, it has a great impact on farming, water conditions, and shipping logistics.
Therefore, the huge wave of the Black Emperor's fall gradually hit the lives of ordinary people, and the first change was the sharp rise in prices on the market.
As far as the lowest level of the information dissemination chain is concerned, the common people have a narrow vision, lag in information, no lack of survival wisdom, and are very sensitive to the changes in basic daily necessities. They can't help but pry - the people of the capital under the emperor's feet are inherently very political.
Gao is most interested in high-level gossip.
So your wife's uncle's cousin, my family uncle's Nian brother, his neighbor's employer, and various sources came together to create a hodgepodge of information. The battle was defeated in the sky, the external demons invaded the ground, and the Xiadong feudal king's coalition forces invaded Beijing...
All sorts of random rumors, both reliable and unreliable, were discussed in the streets and the atmosphere became tense. Many people bought food and hid it at home.
It's really hard to control this rise in prices.
"I know." The prince came back to his senses and felt that the atmosphere in the study was dull. He moved a little and said: "The people are all ignorant and cannot be persuaded, but the court cannot do nothing, and must strictly prohibit stocking and speculation.
, Violators will be dismissed from the market.”
At this point, the prince showed a trace of murderous intent: "Now is the critical moment. If you block the way of the imperial court, you will have to deal with it seriously. Moreover, you will also have to go to the surrounding states and counties to collect food. After the autumn harvest, it will be smooth."
Minister Huang Zizhi bowed and responded: "Yes"
Just when the prince was about to speak, he suddenly turned around and saw a ray of light falling on the Taizu Temple. Suddenly, the sky was filled with flowers and the bells and chimes were ringing. This was a very rare thing. The palace officials who knew the etiquette and rules were all surprised: "It's Taizu himself who surrendered."
"
The prince's heart went blank for a moment. He was stunned for a moment before he ordered: "Go to the Ancestral Temple quickly."
"No, go to the emperor quickly and go with him to the Imperial Ancestral Temple."
The prince was in a hurry, and after a while he reached the halfway point. He heard the sound of bells and drums, and the sound of music. When he opened his eyes, the banner and purple cover had already come over. The prince hurriedly fell to one side.
"Is he the prince? Come with him quickly." The emperor dropped a word.
"Yes." The prince followed him, saying that the emperor was riding with a bright yellow dragon handle and a purple canopy in front, while the prince was riding behind, a red dragon handle and a blue canopy followed behind. The guards and maids were kneeling on the ground, and there were still discussions a little further away.
"I don't know what's going on..."
"I heard that nine Tudou states have been defeated recently... and they were suppressed as soon as they became yang."
"Hiss...this matter could be related to the death of the Black Veined One, wouldn't it be bad?"
"Hush, His Majesty is here..."
After arriving at the Ancestral Temple, the emperor got off the carriage and called: "Prince, follow me up."
The prince stopped talking and came down to follow. He went up the Chinese jade stone steps and arrived at the yellow platform. This was the continuous Ancestral Temple. Seeing that the emperor was a little tired climbing the steps, the prince hurriedly took a few steps to help him climb the steps and walked to the main hall door.
, the emperor straightened his crown and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I sincerely wish you a holy peace."
"Come in." Taizu's voice came from the palace.
"Yes" The emperor and the prince entered the palace. The hall was empty and dark, and one person stood in front of the sacred case in the palace.
The emperor was worried and his health had not been very good in recent years. At this time, he still supported his illness and paid homage again: "My grandson Cai Yuan would like to visit Taizu Xian'an and ask what Taizu's will is."
Taizu Cai Xuan did not speak for a while, only looking at a sand table in the Ancestral Temple.
When this sand table is alive, one part is red, and the rest is white gas, which gathers into streams and rivers and turns into a long river. Although it is not one-third as full as its full size, it is still turbulent.
When we arrived at Yujing City, we were still greeted by the golden lake, exuding a majestic atmosphere.
And faintly, a layer of cyan came from the void and enveloped the sand table. This was Da Cai's destiny.
The newly promoted Immortal looked at this long-lost land. He was silent for a while and then opened a purple edict: "Emperor Da Cai accepts the order."
The emperor hurriedly fell to the ground and kowtowed: "Prime Minister Heshan, minister Cai Yuan is afraid to accept the order."
"Due to... the death of the emperor, the four emperors have discussed and immediately abolished the Cai Dynasty and treated it as ordinary princes... no longer have the title of suzerain in the world... Emperor Cai Yuan will retain his title and will not inherit it."
The end of the Tianfu edict was signed by the four emperors, including the Yellow Emperor who was on duty in the middle palace. In his usual style, he also dealt with his own people without mercy.
"Boom", as soon as he said these words, his aura changed drastically.
In the sky above the capital of Emperor Cai, there was a pillar of heaven that reached straight into the sky and suppressed hundreds of states. At this moment, the decree was issued and it was rapidly collapsing.
Cai Taizu had a complicated look on his face. Looking at all this, he saw that half of the Tianzhu collapsed, and then it slowly stopped. There was another yellow dragon circling, making a sad dragon roar, but it shrank a lot.
On the sand table, a layer of faint blue destiny disappeared. The moment it disappeared, dragon energy rushed out from each of the hundreds of states.
"The Dragon Qi of Da Cai has lost its destiny and is no longer a real dragon. Dragons are everywhere in the world." Cai Taizu muttered to himself and looked at the emperor with complicated eyes. He was the last emperor of the Cai Dynasty.
"for……"
This shocking and tragic news of the end of the dynasty made Cai Yuan, the hero of the world, pale for a moment and move his lips in disbelief to ask, but he immediately understood that the minister was only accepting it respectfully at this time. After saying this, he could keep it in his chest for a long time.
At this moment, his body was hit by a blow, and he fainted and fell to the ground.
"Father"
Although the prince accompanying him was pale, even if he succeeded to the throne, he would only be called King Cai. However, when he saw this, he was still shocked and held him up. His aura sensor only revealed that he was short of breath, but he could wake up after resting and recuperating, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but follow my father's words and ask: "Emperor, what is this?"
It may not be said to others, but to this immortal prince who has set a precedent for millions of years... No, now he has to talk about the next King Cai. Cai Xuan couldn't help but sigh: "This is not your father's fault, it is just bad luck. Volume
Entering the vortex of the death of the Black Vein Emperor...do you remember the Eleven States?"
After hearing this, the prince's eyes trembled slightly, and he had some understanding. As expected, he heard Taizu Cai Xuan say: "You are the Immortal King. You should know that the accumulation of earthly virtues from true immortals to earthly immortals often takes thousands of years."
"I was promoted ahead of schedule because the Yanghua of the six states in the west of the Xiaxia were enriched. It is said that the eleven tude caves in the east of the gorge this time are perfect for me, the founder of the dynasty. However, all the cave revolutions were blocked by the four emperors.
He was left to clean up, and because the caves of this dynasty were infiltrated and became a stepping stone, he is guilty."
"The Heavenly Court officially issued an edict to punish this dynasty, but did not remove Emperor Ge on the spot. It is because of your hard work throughout his life, but he will soon have to abdicate in favor of you... It's a pity that you are only King Cai."
The prince was stunned as he heard that the long-awaited position had come so easily, but its value had greatly shrunk. There was no excitement, only desolation.
At this moment, when the emperor Cai Yuan slowly woke up, he heard this paragraph and sighed: "I have no face to return to my ancestral court."
"Father..."
The prince lowered his head and looked at his old father's frail face as white as gold paper. Inexplicable emotions surged in his heart. He took a deep breath and said: "The Cai family...cannot fail. If we are to hold accountable, all the events in the Eleven Prefectures and Cave Heaven are caused by me."
, I am the only one to blame..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The emperor was shocked and angry, and shouted: "You are just the prince, why should you take responsibility?"
Taizu Cai Xuan took another look at the prince. He did not tense up and reprimand him, but he shook his head: "What the emperor said is true. Although you are an immortal king, you have also suffered in behalf of your father. Your filial piety is commendable, but your reputation is not justified."
…”
"The fall of the Black Emperor is such a big event. The world is shaken, heaven is shaken, and humanity is shaken. Such a great defeat must have a person with weight to bear the responsibility. It cannot be said that the strength of this region is weak and it is not a crime of war... Although it is almost
It’s true, but that’s not what billions of soldiers and civilians in the world want to hear.”
All of them have been emperors on earth or below, and they all know that this is the truth.
The people who are least likely to be bullied are the people when they don’t have enough food to eat.
The easiest thing to bully is the people, when the power is weak to create security...the people's hearts can be used, but cannot be relied on. If you tell the truth, it will only be interpreted. If you give up your confidence, the entire system of prestige and order may collapse, and no matter how powerful the strategic deterrent weapon is, it can save it.
No.
Naturally, these words could not be made public. Cai Xuan just smiled bitterly and said: "If heaven cannot be held responsible, then... it is inevitable for the imperial court to take the blame. The emperor's purple spirit and personality should be the only ones responsible for the emperor's fall."
For a suitable choice, even the emperor on duty in the middle palace can only acquiesce..."
"We, the Cai family, have to take the blame for the anger of the whole world... Heaven knows and the earth knows, and Heaven knows clearly that it will not really punish a serious crime, nor will the emperor's treatment be reduced when he returns to the ancestral court."
"You said...the emperor has recognized you?" The prince was shocked and speechless.
"Yes." Taizu Cai Xuan had communicated with the higher-ups above and received assurances. At this time, he was very calm and said: "As you think, it is actually a matter of losing the chariot to save the commander. There is still time to fight the war in the outer domain, so that the world can
It is better to lose confidence in the imperial court than to lose confidence in heaven..."
"For the sake of the overall situation, I can only let the Cai family bear more responsibility... The emperor promised to continue to support the Cai family. At most, the four families of Wei, Chu, and Han will take advantage in the short term. In the future, we will defend the overall situation of the world and do our job well.
The destiny will gradually come back... When the prince transitions to accept government affairs during this period, while the throne is not removed and the suppression of the vassals is still there, the emperor will have to protect him for a few more years to support our Cai family. "
Emperor Cai Yuan was shocked, raised his sick body, and solemnly nodded: "I respectfully respect your order."
His body... I fear he only has two or three years left to live.
