When Yang Linglong returned, the people in the palace clapped vigorously behind him, and the Tianxiahui's cloud-dispelling palms set off air currents to prevent the long hem of the emperor's robe from falling down.
When Yang Linglong passed by, the palace officials stretched out their arms one by one, letting the hem of the emperor's robe fall on their arms to avoid getting dirty on the ground.
"Go back, it's late at night, there's no need to shout."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
Bedroom.
Yang Linglong changed her clothes, took off her imperial crown and headgear, and asked all the palace attendants to leave. Then she lost her solemn look and stretched lazily.
She didn't like the emperor's robe being too long, but there was nothing she could do about the pomp created by the Ministry of Rites.
If she didn't wear it, those old men, one or two, would have dared to bump into the hall and die.
Yang Linglong suddenly felt something strange behind her, and she immediately used her palm as a knife to slash at it. A total of sixteen streaks of powerful sword energy shot out.
But it was completely lost, but it seemed that the enemy's offensive was blocked, giving her a chance to turn around.
I don't know who it is that can hide from her spiritual sense and come in silently.
Just looking at it, it was dull.
Unexpectedly, it was that person—Shandai!
Shandai laughed playfully, "Tsk, tsk, you are stunned. You don't recognize me anymore? I haven't changed?"
"Shandai! Is it really you? Has the thousand-year appointment arrived?"
"No, but I still have to arrange some things, so I'm a little early."
"Then your brother...he, is he here?"
Yang Linglong summoned up the courage to ask, staring at Shan Dai, expecting her answer.
"Naturally, it's outside. This is your bedroom. It's not easy for him to come in."
Shandai didn't tease her and gave her the answer directly.
Yang Linglong sat down and felt her heart beating violently this time.
Shandai was amused, "What, you and he are no longer husband and wife, why are you so excited?"
Yang Linglong said harshly: "We can still be friends even if we are not husband and wife. It's great to have friends from far away."
"That's true."
…
Yang Linglong changed into casual clothes and combed her hair again, and then asked Shan Dai to call someone.
When I saw Yamazaki, I couldn't help crying.
Yamazaki was also a little moved, "If you don't cry, the days will be long."
"Yes." Yang Linglong wiped away her tears and paid her respects to Shanmao, "It's really gratifying and congratulatory for Wang Anyi and his family to return."
"I don't dare. I have to worry about Your Majesty's concern."
Shanchao quickly returned the gift, after all, he belonged to the emperor and his ministers.
"Please sit down and talk." Yang Linglong accepted the gift generously and waved her sleeves to bring a chair.
…
Yamazaki explained the process to Yang Linglong, Lichen Realm Fang Lingzhou, Dijie, Dixian Realm, also explained the current situation, and openly admitted that he had married another wife.
Yang Linglong was a little uncomfortable at first, but when she heard Yamazaki say that she had been tricked for eight hundred years, she couldn't help but laugh and felt much better.
She still doesn't understand the number of days.
But she knows a little about fate and knows that some things cannot be avoided.
When she heard that she was asked to go to the immortal world to become the empress, she had no objection as her path of cultivation in the mortal world was over.
If you don’t leave, the future will disappear.
"I want to take my mother and Bai Lan there, is that okay?"
"Of course it's okay, you all have a predestined relationship with Buddha."
"What about Chu Wuxia? She is waiting for you too."
"The Ten-Pillar Gate needs to be guarded, and dad also needs an acquaintance to accompany him."
At this time, someone from the palace knocked on the door gently. It was dawn and it was time to prepare to go to court.
…
After Yang Linglong came to court, she patiently listened to the advice of the officials and resolutely refused to retaliate.
After waiting for half an hour, seeing that they were still excited, he raised his hand to stop and asked someone to bring chairs for them, so that they could sit in a row against the wall.
They continued to scold over there, and continued to talk about business over here, without any delay.
After listening to the memorials from various ministries, Yang Linglong finished handling the major national affairs and threw away the big ones.
"As you all know, I will be the emperor for a thousand years, and now the thousand years are coming..."
"Your Majesty!" The officials were in an uproar, and they all understood what it was about.
"Listen to me."
Yang Linglong shouted softly, and the emperor's power was suppressed. The whole hall suddenly became silent, and even Yan Guan stopped talking.
No matter what, everyone has to admit that Yang Linglong is a good emperor.
Although he has been occupying the throne for thousands of years and has killed batches of ministers and royal families who wanted to be emperor, it has also reduced a lot of disputes in the world.
His martial arts skills are truly unparalleled in ancient times and have made everyone in the martial arts world bow down to him.
He always promoted benevolent government and put an end to harsh government to avoid disturbing the people. The people worshiped Yang Linglong as a Bodhisattva.
This is not only the people of this country, but also the people of other countries, and the people of the entire world have returned to the dynasty.
If he abdicates, I can't even imagine how big a mess it will cause.
…
Yang Linglong raised her voice and let her voice spread out of the hall and throughout the imperial city.
"I am a prostitute. In the first hundred years, countless people criticized me like this."
"I have used time and facts to prove that I am a well-deserved emperor."
"Having said that, I didn't have any confidence in my heart at that time. I just relied on believing in this thousand-year period to hold on."
"Because this is what my former husband, Prince An Yi, said."
"Now that the thousand-year period is approaching and my merits have been completed, it is time to take off the heavy burden on my shoulders."
"It's just that if this throne is left vacant, it will cause unnecessary disputes, so I will hold the World's Best Martial Arts Competition at the World's First Peak later, and select from the participants a worthy man with enough martial arts skills to protect himself to sit in this position."
"At the same time, in order to prevent successors from disrupting the government in the future, I have decided to reorganize the six ministries. All major national affairs will be discussed and decided by the six ministries."
"The emperor only has the power to propose and veto, but has no decision-making power."
"The throne has not been inherited by the royal family in the past thousand years, and it will no longer be inherited by the royal family in the future."
"The emperor will be selected by the No. 1 Martial Arts Competition in the World held every ten years, and the decision will be made through consultation among the elders of the royal family."
"If you are a member of the royal family, go to a martial arts competition if you have the ability. If you survive, the elders of the royal family will consider you."
"In short, after me, the emperor is just a decoration, chosen once every ten years."
"Of course, if there is someone with unparalleled martial arts skills, he can dominate the martial arts world, unify the country, and dominate the world."
"In this world, it's always true that the fist is big."
…
Yang Linglong's words spread throughout the imperial city from the Golden Palace, shocking countless people and arousing many people's ambitions.
Some people thought she was crazy and came to inquire about her.
Even those who were as thoughtful as Chu Wuxia and Huanwan immediately understood that it was most likely Yamazaki who was back.
These words are what Yamazaki meant. Only a guy with unparalleled resourcefulness would have such unbridled ideas and treat the emperor like a decoration.
…
Royal Palace.
Yang Linglong was dealing with the ministers and scholars in front, while Chu Wuxia and Hanhan went to the backyard and quickly found the three Yamazakis in the garden.
"Watch the move!"
The two of them had a tacit understanding of each other, and Yamazaki smiled wryly and fought hard without evading, neutralizing all their efforts.
"Let's sit down and talk about old times, please." Yamazaki invited the two of them to sit down and spoke in detail.
…
When Chu Wuxia heard that he would stay in China for an unknown period of time, he couldn't help but glare at Yamazaki.
However, she has practiced Buddhism for thousands of years and understands fate and cause and effect, and knows that some things cannot be forced.
Perhaps it is indeed her destiny to accompany Shanchao in China and gain merit for Shanchao's Dharma protector.
Huanwan didn't even speak, thinking about what Yamazaki said about his apprentice.
She does have a disciple who is from the royal family. Although he is not outstanding, if Yamazaki is willing to help her practice, I am afraid that another thousand-year-old empress will be born.
