It sits in the north of the world, governs seventy-two state capitals, and has thousands of miles of beautiful mountains and rivers.
In the capital city of Chang'an, within the high walls and green tiles, there are imperial guards standing like a forest.
"...In the battle outside Junzhou City, the 200,000-strong army was almost completely destroyed. General Tiance, An Rushan, was nowhere to be found. The lieutenant generals of this route army: Che Houxuan, Xue Lianshan, Meng Ziliang, Han Xianqu, etc., a total of 18
All the forward generals were killed..."
When this battle report from the front line was delivered to the desk of the most powerful man in the world in the study room.
The five officials who knelt down in the hall were covered in cold sweat and bowed their heads deeply, not daring to take a breath after receiving the report from Prime Minister Sun Fu.
The most powerful man in the Northern Tang Dynasty, General An Rushan, the leader of Tiance Mansion, was defeated in front of the two armies, and his arm was cut off. This insulted the country's prestige and greatly dampened Beitang's spirit.
The key is……
The death of two hundred thousand troops!
The whole army was wiped out!
The 800,000-strong army went south with the intention of conquering the world, but now it lost a quarter.
Such a big loss...
It was such a huge defeat that hurt the fate of the country and damaged morale.
No one knows what kind of thunderous wrath Emperor Tang will unleash!
quiet!
The only sound in the palace was the trembling breathing of a few officials.
After reading the battle report, I was silent for four or five breaths.
"Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. In the battle of Junzhou City, our army suffered serious losses. We need to order Marshal Yuan and General Shi to make their best plans and disperse the chaos first, so that our majestic army cannot lose its murderous spirit."
, it is inevitable for us, the Tang Dynasty, to go south to annex the Sui Dynasty. We must not mess up the overall situation just to gain or lose one city or one battle!"
The tone of the five officials in the palace who came back from the gate of hell was cold, but they did not seem to be concerned about the loss of the 200,000-strong army, and Long Yan was furious.
He still assessed the situation calmly and rationally.
This real dragon sitting on the dragon chair, although not angry at this time, is still majestic and majestic.
That was the confidence of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which was determined to dominate the world!
"According to the decree."
Several officials received the order cautiously, and the emperor's oral instructions were later drafted into an imperial edict and handed over to Yuan Shengxiang at the border.
After the rest.
The prime minister once again reported some domestic political affairs. He had encountered some minor setbacks in the suppression of Wang Xianzhi's rebels, but he did not dare to report them. He had to wait for the day when the emperor was in a better mood and look for another opportunity.
After the performance is over.
"The war ahead is urgent, but dear friends, you must still take care of yourselves and control the three provinces and six ministries for the Tang Dynasty. You must not create any flaws in the domestic political system during the war on the front line." Tang Emperor Shen Xiong said.
"My ministers must do their best in political affairs and must not be lazy in the slightest." The official said with sincerity and fear.
"Yes." Tang Huang said calmly: "Back off."
"I'll take my leave."
The officials bowed and backed away, lowering their heads and not daring to look directly.
After the officials leave.
Huhu~
In the study room, the wind blew in from the window, and the curtains were blown wildly.
An angry roar:
"An Rushan, you waste!!"
Boom!
The case before Emperor Tang was almost in pieces.
The middle-aged man on the dragon chair, his eyes flickered like a fierce dragon, like a volcano erupting. The endless anger, suppressed until now, finally burst out behind the officials!
On the dragon chair, the rolling momentum subconsciously swept out.
"puff"
…
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
…
"puff"
…
The few young eunuchs on duty in the study room were angered by Emperor Tang on the spot, and their internal organs were shattered by the shock of the leak.
at this time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of gentle applause came from the upper study room.
"I didn't expect that the Emperor of the Northern Tang Dynasty was actually a divine figure!"
The faint voice, as if it came from far away, seemed to fill every part of the upper study room.
Emperor Li's eyes suddenly moved, and he sat on the dragon throne, but did not move, but his voice became deeper:
"oh?"
"I wonder which immortal is here?"
During the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period, Emperor Li personally led his army to conquer the world. It can be said that he led his troops to win more battles than some of the country's generals. He was also a martial arts master at that time, and then became the emperor, with the world's resources at his disposal.
, go one step further and cultivate the Dharma of the Son of Heaven!
The forbidden area of the palace is heavily guarded. It is not only guarded by several old eunuchs enshrined in the palace, but also by the great Confucian scholar who sits in the White Horse Academy, one of the three most sacred places for Confucianism in the Imperial Academy.
It is impossible for the real Yuanshen from other three religions to get close to him.
He was also able to reveal the hidden cultivation level in him that even ordinary Yuanshen practitioners could not see through. There was no doubt that the person coming was an immortal.
The Immortal arrived in Chang'an today?
Who is the visitor?
How did you get in?
Why can you ignore Master's rules?
Under the solemn gaze of Emperor Tang.
When I went to the study room, the surrounding immortal energy suddenly surged, and I was surprised to see a middle-aged man in simple robes, exuding strong Tao Qi from his whole body, with a handsome face and a free and easy temperament.
"Since ancient times, there has been no emperor of a country who has cultivated and become an immortal, but the end has never been very good. As the saying goes, when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow. The secular emperors are already sitting on the highest wealth in the world.
Especially under the rules of the Master, even the gods of the three religions need to be respected. If you practice immortality to gain immortality, it will only take one or two hundred years. If you cultivate to become a soul and live for a thousand years, you are afraid that heaven will bring disaster!"
Tang Huang's eyes were calm and he said calmly: "Is the immortal here to bring disaster on behalf of the sky?"
While speaking, Tang Huang's eyes flashed coldly.
The immortal smiled indifferently: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was overly worried. It is not necessary for a human emperor to cultivate immortality. It is just due to his special position. Often, being an emperor represents the luck of the dynasty. A human emperor's cultivation of immortality means that he will gain success.
A country's luck can be used as an assistant to turn a country's luck into personal luck, but this has both good and bad consequences..."
"If the destiny of a person and the dynasty are integrated, the destiny of the dynasty will be damaged, which will naturally harm the emperor. On the contrary, if something happens to the emperor, the destiny of the country will also collapse."
"Three thousand years ago, Emperor Wu of Wei in Chang'an City was asked by Prime Minister Zhuge to strike with a sword from outside the sky and cut off his body. This caused the fate of the Wei Dynasty to collapse. This is the reason why."
The emperor of Tang Dynasty sneered when he heard this: "Three thousand years ago, it was the time when Master became a saint. At that time, the gods of the three religions held themselves aloof and controlled the decline of the dynasty. They occasionally participated in wars, and it happened that Zhuge Ya obtained the Zhongnan Ancient Immortal Yunzhong.
He asked the sword to come from outside the sky to kill Emperor Wu of Wei!"
"It is precisely because you, the gods of the three religions, regard the life and death of the human dynasty as child's play, that you have the great righteousness of the master. After becoming a saint, you establish rules for the heaven and the earth and confine the gods on the mountain outside the dynasty."
The implication is that in today's world, there are rules and regulations to protect the dynasty, and there is no longer the wooden sword of the mysterious Zhongnan Immortal Yun Zhongzi, nor Zhuge Ya who has soldiers to control the world. Who can imitate Zhuge Ya and use a sword?
It descended from the sky and plowed the land of Chang'an City for thousands of miles.
Afterwards, as the instigator, Zhuge Ya, who single-handedly killed the king of a country, couldn't bear the backlash of fate and fell to the ground in Wuzhangyuan?
Speaking of which.
Emperor Tang said coldly: "Although I don't know how you were able to enter the palace, if you came today just to comment on my cultivation, you are overly worried."
Even if the person in front of him is an immortal, as the king of a country, the Emperor Tang, who owns 70% of the mountains and rivers in Jambu, is not afraid at all, because no immortal can withstand the backlash of fate that assassinates the leader of a country.
What's more, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who practiced immortal magic and vaguely integrated his personal popularity with the destiny of the country.
Although in terms of cultivation, he is only an emperor in the supernatural realm.
But on top of luck, even this immortal has to be touched by it and feel pressure in his heart.
The Immortal immediately smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Mr. Song just mentioned one more thing. I hope your Majesty is aware of it. Furthermore, Mr. Song came here today specifically for the great cause of the Tang Dynasty going south. It is the same as the Tang Dynasty.
A friend, not an enemy.”
Song.
"Your Excellency, are you the Immortal of Songcheng?" Emperor Tang instantly recognized the person from his last name. Then, after hearing the second half of the sentence, a burst of light bloomed in his eyes: "Immortal, are you coming south for me, the Tang Dynasty?"
"You, being able to enter Chang'an, is enough to surprise me, but you actually want to intervene in the dynasty's war?"
"Who are you? Can you really ignore the rules?"
Emperor Tang couldn't hide his surprise.
Unexpectedly, the Songcheng Immortal suddenly laughed, looked deeply at the Tang Emperor, and said: "I'm afraid the specific battle report of the battle in Junzhou City has not yet appeared in your Majesty's eyes. Doesn't your Majesty still know that Master's rules have disappeared?
Now, I, the Immortal, can directly intervene in the secular dynasty."
What?
Immortals can intervene in the dynasty!!
Master's rules... disappeared.
That's why he can appear in front of him openly.
Emperor Tang lost his mind for a moment.
this……
Could it be that An Rushan was defeated because of this?
Just now Song Cheng mentioned the specific battle report of the battle in Junzhou City?
In the battle of Junzhou City, immortals actually intervened?
And if the Immortal can intervene in the dynasty.
Suddenly, Emperor Tang's inexplicable eyes looked at Song Cheng tentatively.
Under the gaze of Emperor Tang, the Immortal from Songcheng smiled slightly and said:
"No talent, I am here just to help the Tang Dynasty unify the world."
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was so wise. In just a moment, he had figured out a lot in his mind. He squinted at Song Cheng and said, "For me, the Tang Dynasty, to rule the world? I'm afraid it's because after the Tang Dynasty unified the world, you can be like Confucianism."
Generally, in the Tang Dynasty, people founded a religion and called themselves their ancestors to divide the fate of the world?"
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty thought, is all this a drastic change after the Confucius' rules disappeared?
"Yes, and I am not the only one who has such thoughts."
Immortal Songcheng admitted it directly without covering up, and even mentioned others.
He smiled and said: "If I am not mistaken, Immortal Youtan from Guanyin Temple may have already arrived at Marshal Yuan Shengxiang's camp at this time."
Tang Huang suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Oh?"
"If you follow what the immortal said, since you came south for the Tang Dynasty, why did you come to my palace instead of the battlefield?"
Immortal Songcheng smiled faintly and said: "I and Immortal Friend Youtan both became immortals in the Tang Dynasty. Purely based on their backgrounds, it is understandable that we should help the Tang Dynasty. However, I and Immortal Friend Youtan have two divisions of labor. On the battlefield going south,
With her leading the Guanyin Buddhism sect, and perhaps more immortals from other sects coming to help, it is enough to go south to conquer the Sui Dynasty."
"My going south to conquer the Sui Dynasty is just the icing on the cake, but I am here for another war within the Tang Dynasty..."
Emperor Tang looked at the Immortal of Songcheng in shock, and couldn't see the emotions clearly in his eyes, "You're not here for the battlefield in the south, Immortal, are you here for that little Wang Xianzhi?"
"Exactly."
Immortal Songcheng smiled.
…………
Half a day later.
Emperor Tang looked at the figure of the Songcheng Immortal who had disappeared and frowned deeply.
"Although this immortal does not belong to the three religions, he comes from the San family, but he can cultivate into an immortal. His character is unfathomable. What I just said is very good, but I am afraid that I can only believe it two or three points..."
But even if the opponent's Immortal Lord does not dare to take action against him, he cannot control the order.
What the two people said just now made Emperor Tang frown deeply, thinking about which of them was credible and whether he should agree to it.
At this time.
Suddenly, a young eunuch said overjoyed:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, King Zhao is out of confinement!"
Upon hearing this news, Emperor Tang couldn't help but look shocked, and then he was filled with uncontrollable surprise, and he hissed hoarsely:
"What??"
King Zhao comes out of seclusion?
Go outside the study room.
The young eunuch said excitedly and tremblingly: "The news reported that His Highness King Zhao came out of seclusion and stepped into the end of martial arts. He even stamped a peak of Zijin Mountain to the ground and shouted to the sky that he wanted to see His Majesty.
