Chapter 82 Bai Yujing, the Imperial Capital, Silhouette City
The Shinto Way is similar to the Human Way. Both are ways of gathering people. The more people gathered, the more powerful they will be.
Du Kang thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion:
If he could obtain the worship of the entire Yanzhou faith, it would only take him as short as half a year or as long as one or two years to complete the calligrapher's divine system and make this avatar possess the power of Renjie.
"It's been too long, it's been too long. Staying in the dangerous situation in the capital for so long and only getting this little profit is not a good deal.
Let’s see how the situation develops. If we can gain a firm foothold in the capital, we can harvest a wave of faith.”
Du Kang kept this idea in mind, and turned to Yu Feng to ask about the situation of all Ji Yun's sons, the supporters behind the princes, as well as the clan's children, generals, ministers and other noteworthy relevant personnel with high-level cultivation.
After Yu Feng rambled on for a long time, Du Kang discovered that the situation in Daliang Chaotang was extremely complicated. Dozens of high-level monks could be divided into dozens of you according to their origins, in-laws, grudges, and factions.
I, I have your large and small groups.
Some of these hidden interest entanglements are so deep that even Yu Feng, the ancestral eunuch of Liang Dynasty, has difficulty sorting them out.
It can be said to be simple, but it is actually very simple.
If we look at it from the perspective of a dynasty's imperial master, there are only civil and military officials headed by the royal family, sects headed by the Immortal Sect and the Rakshasa Sect, and the incense spirits who only obey the orders of the emperor himself.
The rest of the ministers are just fagots who fall with the wind.
The Wusheng Sect and the Rakshasa Sect have been able to stand together with the imperial court for many years, not only because of their strong strength, but also because they will not interfere with the replacement of imperial power. In the 400 years since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, they have never given explicit support.
Which prince takes the throne?
The gods canonized by the emperor would only maintain their respective duties and would be difficult to be transferred by others during the period when the throne was vacant.
The only people who would really fight for who will win the throne are ordinary ministers with various complicated backgrounds, most of whom only have one high-level monk in their family, and it is difficult for them to pass on their strength and power to future generations.
Depending on the spells they practice, high-level monks can live as short as a few hundred years or as long as thousands of years. When it is difficult to break through the spells and extend their lifespan, the ministers were canonized as gods by the emperor after their death. In their faith,
Obtaining eternal life is a good choice for extending your life.
Canonizing a Jinchi-level deity requires the consumption of a huge amount of dragon energy, but the output of dragon energy in Daliang is limited, and the emperor often allocates the limited quota to the heroes of the dragon.
Therefore, ministers who are about to die will place bets on the emperor's sons in advance to gain a chance to become gods after death.
If you fail in the fight for the throne, you will die decades prematurely, but if you succeed by luck, you can enjoy the long life of a god.
Even if you are lucky, you can live to the next dynasty and continue to serve the new dynasty. Many of the gods worshiped by Da Liang today were inherited from the previous dynasty, Dai Viet.
Throughout the game, the queen who has been promoted to the queen mother after the death of the former emperor will fully support her son's ascension to the throne. The concubines in the harem who are the daughters of ministers will also receive support from their fathers and brothers outside the palace.
Who would live without relatives and friends in this world?
With natural relationships such as in-laws, masters and apprentices, and old friends as ties, ministers who aspire to the divine position will automatically take sides.
Referring to Daliang's short history of more than 400 years, in the month before the emperor's accession to the throne, various conspiracies will continue to occur in the capital. All parties will fight, and the capital will be bloody, and even ministers will enter the capital.
The chaos in the palace and the murder of the Queen Mother had all happened before.
"The election of the emperor in Daliang is really chaotic. Fortunately, the two major state religions and the gods canonized by your majesty are loyal people and can keep my country in Daliang stable."
After listening to Yu Feng's description, Du Kang put his hands behind his back and sighed, frowning, looking like a loyal minister who was worried about the future of Daliang.
"If all the officials in the court were ministers like the Taifu, how could I, Liang, still shed blood like a river every few decades?"
Yu Feng also shook his head, his heart also filled with worry.
Du Kang insisted on returning to Beijing, and Yu Feng had no reason to stay outside. He was worried about whether he would be affected by the upcoming incident.
Du Kang glanced sideways at this eunuch, who was more beautiful than a woman, and felt that he must have concealed a lot of things and did not explain them to him.
Thinking of Ji Yun's rebellion against Haizhou, he went to Xingtian Cave alone to fight against Fu Ruhai who was wielding Xingtian's magical body. Of course, there was a reason why ordinary high-level monks could not help in the battle between Gui-level masters.
However, the leaders of the Wusheng and Rakshasa sects did not come to help, which already revealed many problems in the Daliang court. This trip to the capital will definitely be more dangerous than Yu Feng said.
"How can there be any loyal people in a place like the capital, the most evil place in the country? I have a hunch that these two leaders will definitely be extremely difficult characters. They should be the most troublesome."
He chose a difficult path, but what jumped in Du Kang's heart was the burning fire of greed that wanted to swallow everything.
Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be martyred. Only by setting a lofty goal can he satisfy his insatiable desires.
The sky was as blue as blue, and the farmland under their feet was like grids. The two of them flew all the way to the capital. The cities they flew past became larger and larger, and the people along the way became more and more dense. They even saw several cities that were not inferior in size to Canglan City.
big city.
The city's luck was at its peak, and gods of the Jinzhi level were stationed there. When they saw Du Kang and Yu Feng crossing the border, they did not stop them. Instead, they respectfully sent them out from a distance. It was obvious that the official seals on the two people were sensed through the official aura system.
…
It took another hour before Dukan saw a magnificent city appear on the horizon from a distance.
It floats on the clouds like a heavenly palace, as if it were carved from white jade. Amidst the clouds and mist, the huge city exudes colorful rays of light.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the clouds higher than the Heavenly Palace, a giant dragon with only one scale and a half claws could be vaguely seen. Just when Du Kang wanted to see more clearly, a
The dazzling golden light took the opportunity to shoot into his eyes.
"Um--"
The blinding stinging sensation made Du Kang close his eyelids, and two lines of golden tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Uncontrolled dragon energy is extremely dangerous. Don't rely on children's skills to spy on it. If you die because of the anger of the dragon energy, you will die unjustly."
Yu Feng's reminder was a step too late. Du Kang closed his eyes, wiped the blood from his face and said.
"It's worth shedding some blood to see the true form of Dragon Qi, but this Dragon Qi is really overbearing. It even hurts me, the holder of the Taifu Seal, and doesn't give him any face."
"Dragon Qi can only act on instinct. Since you are wearing the official seal of Taifu, it means that the blindness in your eyes is the result of its hand.
However, Dragon Qi is the supreme authority bred together by the Way of Heaven and Humanity. I have served several emperors, but I have never seen the true appearance of Dragon Qi. The Taifu can see it. I am afraid it is the combined effect of the Taifu's position and the skill of children.
Bar."
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app, huanyuanapp, that is used by all chasing bugs.]
Yu Feng cast his gaze to the sky above the Tiangong, and sure enough, he saw nothing as before.
"People in the mountains and wilds don't have any clever child skills, they just rely on the official seal."
Du Kang put his index and middle fingers together and applied it on his eyelids. A strong cooling sensation immediately spread in his eyeballs.
[Jade Pure Vase]: It contains nectar water, which has the effect of resurrecting people and dead people, as well as flesh and bones.
(Incense filling progress: 8/1000)
When Du Kang opened his eyes again, his eyes that had been blinded by the dragon's energy had returned to their original state, and he turned to look down at the Tiangong.
On the ground five or six hundred feet away from the Heavenly Palace, there is a city that occupies a larger area. There are no city walls built around the city, allowing dense flows of people to freely enter and exit on numerous roads.
On the contrary, inside the city, tall walls separated each city in the city to facilitate the government to maintain management of the people.
The two cities in the sky and underground are both the capital city. The complete capital city is composed of three parts: the cloud city, the above-ground city, and the underground city.
The so-called capital is just a collective name for the three cities. They all have their own independent names, namely Baiyujing, Imperial Capital and Silhouette City.
Baiyujing is the imperial city, where the emperor and all members of the royal family live; the emperor is a civilian city, where mortals and monks live; all the yamen and official residences of the capital are also located in this city; Silhouette City is the sacred city, located in
In the shadow world, the gods and demons who surrender to Daliang live, and the guards of the gods who only obey the emperor's orders live here.
There are more than 100,000 people living in the White Jade Capital, including the royal family and the serving maids and eunuchs. Silhouette City is a secret place. Yu Feng is not sure how many people live there. However, the permanent population of the Imperial Capital is as high as 8 million. The three cities together
It has created a prosperous atmosphere for the capital of a country.
The two of them were silent all the way and flew straight towards Bai Yujing in the sky.
After entering the airspace several miles around Bai Yujing, Du Kang's body couldn't help but sink, and he felt an overbearing force suppressing him.
The movement of divine power within the body is not hindered, but the flying speed of the somersault cloud is reduced several times.
"Taifu, there is no need to panic. There are many high-level monks in the capital. Once they fight, it will easily cause catastrophe in the capital, so the dragon energy will suppress the power of all high-level monks.
This suppression applies equally to all, with the exception of the True Dragon Emperor, and the Tutor will gradually get used to it in the future."
Du Kang nodded and did not express any further opinions on Long Qi's tyranny.
The somersault cloud finally stopped in the square at the north gate of Baiyujing. A eunuch who had been waiting in front of the gate stepped out and saluted Yu Feng.
"I have met Mr. Yu. The Empress Dowager has ordered me to wait here for your return, so that you can return to the palace to see you."
When the emperor passed away, the empress dowager this person referred to was naturally the former empress dowager, Ji Yun's mother. The new empress dowager in the White Jade Palace was already Ji Yun's empress.
There is only one Queen Mother's Seal that can mobilize dragon energy together with the Seal of the Three Lords. The fight for the Queen Mother's Seal should have already begun. Since the Queen Mother's people are waiting here, I am afraid that the situation of the new Queen Mother is not good.
"The Empress Dowager only asked me to return to the palace alone? Didn't she meet the Taifu appointed by His Majesty during his lifetime?"
Yu Feng frowned slightly, obviously not expecting the Queen Mother to make such an arrangement.
The eunuch never raised his bent waist and continued to reply in a clear voice.
"The Empress Dowager has already given instructions. Now that His Majesty has passed away, she is extremely sad and cannot see foreign ministers for the time being.
The Empress Dowager asked the Taifu to go to the Taifu's residence to rest first, and she will summon the three princes to discuss matters together tomorrow."
This reason for not letting Du Kang enter the palace was a bit perfunctory, but Yu Feng didn't ask any more questions, but immediately turned around and said to Du Kang.
"Mr. Du, Yu Feng declared that the mission of bringing you back to the capital has been completed. It is inconvenient for internal and external ministers to have too much interaction, so we will leave here."
After speaking, Yu Feng walked towards the palace gate step by step without looking back.
"This servant has met the Grand Tutor, and in compliance with the Emperor's decree, I will take you to the Grand Tutor's residence."
Yu Feng left, but the other eunuch did not leave. He was still bending down respectfully, obviously wanting to lead him the way.
Du Kang looked at Yu Feng's retreating figure without saying a word. He felt that the entire capital was in a strange calm. He did not expect the fierce situation surrounded by ministers outside the palace gate. Even the emperor below was still very lively.
, there is no sense of tension at all that the emperor should have after his death.
"What a black eye!"
Du Kang sighed in his heart and said to the eunuch.
"Then my father-in-law will lead the way."
"Master, you are too polite. This is what a slave should do."
This eunuch could also fly. Under the guidance of the eunuch, Du Kang followed him and flew towards the capital below Bai Yujing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Du Kang went straight to Bai Yujing just now without observing carefully. Only after flying down from Bai Yujing did he realize that the bottom of this heavenly palace was actually glowing.
Flying at the bottom of Bai Yujing, you can feel that it provides light to the emperor like the sun, just like the emperor of Daliang will illuminate his people like the sun, brilliant and dazzling.
The eunuch took Du Kang and flew all the way over the bustling city. Some people in the city noticed their figures and showed no signs of surprise. I thought that when I came to the Imperial Capital, I would often see people coming from the White Jade Capital.
The two of them arrived at an area near the center of the Imperial City before landing in front of the gate of a vast mansion. The eunuch introduced them respectfully.
"Master Taifu, your residence has arrived. All the staff have been prepared two hours ago. If you see that there is no problem, I will go back to the palace to recover."
Du Kang had already seen it when he was flying in the sky just now. There were tall buildings and halls, red trees and green tiles, rockeries and green trees in this mansion. There were a large number of servants and maids standing in the mansion, ready to be dispatched at any time.
The entire city where the mansion is located is full of deep mansions. There are no people on the spacious street in front of the door. The door is an elegant five-bay three-door door. On both sides of the door, there are two mighty stone lions who have sealed the great demon Yinshen.
I don't see anything dissatisfying about it.
"Excuse me, father-in-law, please report back to the Empress Dowager. I like this house very much."
After the eunuch agreed, he left in the clouds, leaving only Du Kang standing there.
He clapped his hands, and the door of the mansion opened directly. Two rows of young men stood respectfully in the door, saying all kinds of nice and auspicious words.
Du Kang did not come to the capital to enjoy himself. He stepped into the door of the mansion and came to his room surrounded by his servants.
After finding an excuse and driving all the servants out, he said to the empty space.
"Come out, you have been following me for a long time."
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
A crisp voice sounded in the air, and after a flash of light, a handsome figure appeared in front of Du Kang.
With willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a high nose bridge and thin red lips, she looks like a woman, but has a raised Adam's apple on her throat. This is the Si Xiong whom Du Kang has not seen for a long time...
