"Your Majesty has a queen, and the country is prosperous. It is truly a happy event!"
"Mrs. Cai is the daughter of the great scholar Cai Yong. She was born in the Chenliu Cai family and is also a member of my family!"
"Now we're just waiting for her to give birth to her eldest son..."
At the banquet, the children of the aristocratic family were talking a lot, the trend changed, and the topic all revolved around the unborn prince.
The prince has always been the guarantee of the country. During the previous great catastrophe, why the ministers were so frightened and uneasy was precisely because the emperor had no heir.
Now the attention shifts from when the Human Emperor will return to his unborn child.
Even those with dark minds are already looking forward to the human emperor being destroyed by the gods, so how to support the young emperor to come to power.
Although Empress He had some skills, she was far inferior to Empress Lu in the past. If she wanted the world to be stable, she would ultimately have to rely on the aristocratic family.
"Foolish!"
In the midst of excitement and anticipation, a discordant voice sounded.
Everyone was startled, and when they looked around, they saw that the person who opened the mouth was actually Yang Xiu, who was pouring a drink for himself.
"Dezu, be careful what you say!"
There were all the core disciples of the six major families in the field, and someone immediately tried to persuade them.
"snort!"
Yang Xiu frowned and said no more, stood up and walked away.
"If you miss this great opportunity, within a few decades, there will be no aristocratic family left in the world!"
When he returned to his room, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and swept all the four treasures of the study on the desk to the floor.
A person with a high family status, who has been an official for generations, is a member of a noble family.
He is born noble and cannot be compared to ordinary people, so he belongs to a noble family.
What is needed is inequality.
But the Emperor obviously wants all people in the world to have a fair path to advancement. The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System could have been used to make profits for the family, but it was manipulated by the Chancellor to be fair and equitable. It also popularized the method of spiritual cultivation in various states.
This is the most deadly!
How does an aristocratic family suppress a poor family?
In addition to selecting officials through the inspection system, it also firmly controls the secret method of spiritual cultivation, so that those from humble backgrounds can only take the barbaric road of spiritual refinement.
If things go on like this, if the imperial court wants to govern the world, it can only rely on aristocratic families.
Therefore, it seems that the prince did not let poor families become officials, but in fact he patiently cultivated talents from poor families.
When talented people from poor families have enough savings, abolish the imperial examination, and change the method of selecting officials, the monopoly of the aristocratic family will be completely ended.
"I'm old and stupid, I'm just muddle along, it's hateful and hateful!"
"well!"
Yang Xiu vented his anger and scolded all the elders including Yang Ci. Originally, the room was restricted and the inside and outside were separated, so others could not hear it. Unexpectedly, a sigh suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Who dares to spy on me!"
Yang Xiu's eyes were sharp, and his mouth was like thunder, and he uttered three words: "Limit! Absolute! Kill!"
The Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang have great supernatural powers! He speaks of Tianxian!
After mastering this magical power, it can be said that every word is followed, and infinite spells can be cast with a single thought. Yang Xiu is really a genius who can get started at his age.
However, the visitor just flicked his sleeves and eliminated the ruthless offensive.
Yang Xiu looked horrified. Even his grandfather Yang Ci did not have such means unless...
The Unparalleled Seventh Realm World Honored One?
He straightened his body, turned around, and saw two more people in the room.
The leader is an elegant old man, with straight eyes and a straight nose, five long strands of beard, and the air of a teacher with peach blossoms all over the world.
"Mr. Shuijing?"
Yang Xiu was surprised.
A few years ago, he went to Shuijing Academy to become a disciple, but was rejected. He returned to the capital angrily, with a grudge in his heart. How could he not recognize this great scholar who was famous all over the world?
But why did Mr. Shui Jing come here?
As he was wondering, Yang Xiu looked at the person behind him and his expression suddenly changed: "Are you the Eight Wonders of the Water Mirror?"
He couldn't help but be surprised, because this person was Chen Gong!
Recommended by Cai Yong, he was appointed as the general minister of the East Palace and one of the most senior ministers under the crown prince!
"It turns out that this is the chess piece that was buried the deepest. The water mirror has a far-reaching layout. That's when I saw the threat of the prince."
Facing Yang Xiu's eyes, Chen Gong's face was expressionless, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart.
Although he and Chen Qun were the first elders of the East Palace, they were far less trusted than Xu Chu and Xu Huang, and they were unable to detect any information at all.
Although the chess piece was buried deep, it became useless.
Even gradually, Chen Gong was shaken.
The Han Dynasty has been controlled by relatives and eunuchs in turn for nearly a hundred years, making the people miserable. Finally, a hero was born to bring peace to the world. The Eight Wonders of the Water Mirror should join the Mingjun and show what they have learned.
Not to mention the dead Tian Feng and Li Ru, the missing Zhou Yu and Pang Tong, and Xun You all had the same idea.
But when Mr. Shui Jing approached him, Chen Gong came to repay his kindness.
"Sir, please sit down. I don't know what you are here for."
Yang Xiu paid careful attention to the ceremony. The guests and hosts sat down to serve tea and asked.
He had a guess in his mind, but Mr. Shui Jing opened his palm, and a simple purple and black key appeared in his palm, and asked: "Does Dezu recognize what this is?"
After Yang Xiu looked at it carefully, he shook his head: "I have little talent and little knowledge, and I don't know much."
"This is the Taotie Forbidden Key."
Mr. Shui Jing said: "In the past, Emperor Shun sealed the four evil spirits in the desperate situation of the Four Desolations. Over the past 2,500 years, the forbidden seal law became loose. I made many inquiries and found out that four forbidden keys were needed to come out at the same time to strengthen the seal.
Only then can I protect my health in this world!"
"Is this happening?"
Yang Xiu recalled carefully, his expression gradually changed.
Chaos, Qiongqi, Taotie, and Taotie were the four evil gods in ancient times who made trouble in the human world and were suppressed and sealed by Emperor Shun among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
As a member of the Yang clan, he had seen it when he was a child, but regarded it as a legend because it was too far away.
Unexpectedly, one day the seal was loosened. It was hard to imagine the scene of a vicious god wreaking havoc on the world. Yang Xiu immediately stood up: "This matter is not trivial. I will report it to my grandfather!"
"It's late."
Mr. Shui Jing shook his head: "When your Majesty was the prince, he took away the three forbidden keys kept by the three great families. Now your Majesty is missing. Once the evil god returns to the world, the world may be in catastrophe!"
The Yuan family in Runan has the blood of Emperor Shun, and is in charge of the forbidden key of chaos, the first of the four evils, while the Yang family and the Xun family obtained the forbidden keys of Qiongqi and Yaozhu by chance.
Gu Cheng searched the memory of Yuan Feng, and after destroying the Yuan family in Runan, he not only took away the Chaos Forbidden Key, but also asked the Yang family and the Xun family to hand over the Qiongqi Forbidden Key and the Yaozhu Forbidden Key.
This was originally a precautionary measure to prevent someone from releasing the evil god, but according to what Shui Jing said now, it actually brought great disaster to the world.
Yang Xiu said anxiously: "Do you have a solution, sir?"
"There is only one way!"
Mr. Shui Jing said slowly: "Use the Nine Dragons Absolute Immortal Formation to ban the four evil gods!"
Yang Xiu's eyes flashed: "The Nine Dragons Absolute Immortal Formation was deployed by Emperor Gaozu, and the Four Fierce Gods were suppressed by Emperor Shun. Is this possible?"
"In the past, Yingluo Shouxin was punished by heaven and the ancestral dragon was destroyed. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the origin of the human world was angered. With the help of the Great Ancestor, a divine formation was arranged to prevent the Holy Immortal Realm and even the powerful from entering the Middle Earth Divine Land!"
Mr. Shui Jing showed a look of compassion: "This original power will definitely strengthen the seal, make the four evil gods sleep again, and save the world from the catastrophe!"
"So you are here to lure me, Yang, to break the Nine Dragons Absolute Immortal Formation?"
Yang Xiu sat down, his anxious look gone, his expression instantly returned to calmness, and he stared at Sima Hui:
