Chapter 423 You are going to subjugate your country
It was originally a good thing to enter the realm of dual masters in martial arts and Qi refining, but Gu Cheng's face was dark because he felt that he had suffered a disadvantage.
In fact, Gu Cheng didn't want to come out originally. Even if he broke through in one day, he still wanted to stay for three days.
As a result, when he actually practiced, he discovered that this place was indeed not suitable for daily practice.
There is too much and too much violent energy from heaven and earth. What you absorb will not have time to be refined. Over time, it will be blocked in the body. Forcibly refining it will even damage the meridians.
So after staying for a day, Gu Cheng had to come out early.
However, his motto is that if you don't take advantage, you will suffer a loss. At this time, he didn't take enough advantage. Of course, he suffered a big loss this time.
Just as Gu Cheng was about to go to Jingyesi's martial arts arena to experience the power of the master's realm, he saw Fang Henshui waiting for him as soon as he left the Merit Division.
"Sir, do you have anything to do with your subordinates?"
Fang Henshui nodded and said, "His Majesty is going to summon you and General Qin. Come with me."
Gu Cheng nodded and followed Fang Henshui all the way to the palace.
On the way, Gu Cheng asked curiously: "Why don't you see the Governor coming with you?"
Fang Henshui said: "The Governor is not in the capital. He went to Western Xinjiang two months ago to suppress some things that happened there."
Gu Cheng nodded, not paying much attention.
Although there are many strong people in Daqian, there are more things to do.
The role of the four major commanders is actually to help the governor handle some affairs when he is not at the capital headquarters. When the governor returns to the capital, the commanders can also be sent out to perform various tasks on his behalf.
This was the first time for Gu Cheng to come to the Imperial City of Daqian. During the last ancestor worship ceremony, all Gu Cheng saw was the periphery of the Imperial City.
When Gu Cheng and other Jingyesi people entered the imperial city, their swords and weapons were not confiscated. In fact, it was not necessary.
The emperor is surrounded by dragon shadow guards, which is safe enough.
Moreover, for practitioners, swords and weapons are also dispensable. Those who are empty-handed may not be safer than those who carry swords.
Emperor Li Yuangong of Daqian was waiting for them in a side hall of the imperial city. Old General Qin Ming was already waiting there, along with a middle-aged general wearing silver dragon armor and a resolute face.
Fang Henshui sent a message to Gu Cheng: "That is Li Yuanxing, one of the great generals of the Shenwu Guard, a strong man in the Wanghai realm of the fourth level of martial arts."
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "A relative of the emperor?"
The emperor of Daqian was named Li Yuangong, but this one was named Li Yuanxing. It is inevitable that people will not be biased.
Fang Henshui said: "They can be regarded as relatives of the emperor, but they are already a very remote branch. Their ancestors can be traced back to the Daqian royal family more than 400 years ago. They were re-added to the family tree by Your Majesty after they showed their prominence in the army.
Listed in the Yuan generation."
Gu Cheng nodded and suddenly asked in surprise: "Why didn't General Fan Sihai of Longxiang Guard come?"
Among the three armies in the capital, the Longxiang Guard has the smallest number, and there is only one general, Fan Sihai. However, that man is Li Yuangong's true confidant. Logically speaking, he should be the one bringing Qin Ming here today.
"Something happened over there in Beidi. General Fan Sihai went there to unite several border troops and take charge."
Hearing that Fan Sihai had also gone to Beidi, Gu Cheng's mind turned and he intuitively told that there was definitely something going on.
It was normal for Ye Wuzhao to go to Western Xinjiang, but Fan Sihai, who was Li Yuangong's confidant, actually went to Northland. What happened to Da Gan?
Before I had time to think too much, a young eunuch came out of the side hall and screamed: "Your Majesty declares your presence here!"
Several people present walked into the side hall one after another. Gu Cheng and Qin Ming looked at each other and exchanged glances. There was nothing to be nervous about.
Gu Cheng even dared to fool ghosts in the ghost city of Song Dynasty. Is he still afraid of fooling people now?
As for Qin Ming, after all, this old general has lived for nearly two hundred years, and he still has this psychological quality.
"See Your Majesty!"
Everyone bowed and bowed.
They are all considered important ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty, and of course they don't need to kneel down or worship the emperor.
At this time, Li Yuangong was not wearing a formal dragon robe, but was wearing a loose black dragon-patterned robe. In one year, the old emperor felt older than when he last held an ancestor worship ceremony. .
Li Yuangong raised his hand gently: "Everyone, please get up, no need to be polite.
Did you encounter a lot of trouble while escorting Xiao Kaishan?"
Qin Ming stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I have done something wrong, my Majesty, please forgive me."
According to what was discussed with Gu Cheng before, Qin Ming did not hide the slightest, and directly explained all the dangers encountered on the road one by one, but the core point is that they have repeatedly failed, even in the face of powerful opponents. Not flinching at all.
If Gu Cheng said this, he might be a bit self-proclaimed, but General Qin Ming is already this age and is still working hard for Daqian. Does he, Li Yuangong, have the nerve to punish them?
So after listening, Li Yuangong said quickly: "Old General, you don't have to blame yourself. This matter was caused by the court's negligence. I didn't expect Xiao Kaishan to have such a big influence in the southwest.
If they knew that the other party's influence was so great, the imperial court would definitely send more people to escort him.
However, although Xiao Kaishan is not dead, you have also killed Ling Tianming, the second leader of the Red Leaf Army, and the Hongye Army in the southwest can no longer cause any trouble.
Old General, you are already old now, so I will find you a residence in the capital, and you can retire there."
Li Yuangong's move was to win over people's hearts and let other people in the court see that Da Qian still treated these old ministers very humanely.
But Qin Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, I have stayed in the southwest all my life and am used to the life there. I have long regarded it as my hometown.
Therefore, I have already planned to return to my roots in the southwest. If it is not necessary, this will be the last time I leave the southwest."
After hearing what Qin Ming said, Li Yuangong didn't force it.
At this time, Li Yuangong turned his eyes to Gu Cheng again, nodded slightly and said, "Gu Cheng, right? You're not bad either.
From Nanyi County to the capital, and then to Jiangnan County, Jingyesi has reported all your achievements to me, as well as the escort of Xiao Kaishan and his party this time, Long Qi and the old general Qin Ming have all expressed their respect for you. Quite appreciated.
Yes, what I, Da Gan, need are young talents like you, and Da Gan’s future belongs to you."
Li Yuangong, an old general like Qin Ming, of course wanted to win over and show his goodwill to show his kindness to the veteran heroes.
But for young people like Gu Cheng, it is necessary to encourage them and make them feel that there is hope.
Gu Cheng also looked excited, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "I will definitely work hard for Da Gan and sweep the world for His Majesty, and live up to His Majesty's grace!"
Li Yuanxing, the general of the Shenwu Guard over there, glanced at Gu Cheng and curled his lips slightly.
People born in Jingyesi know how to talk, but people like them in the military are just straight-headed and will not make His Majesty happy.
Sure enough, Li Yuangong over there also smiled with satisfaction.
Although he is old, he prefers young ministers like this. Why? Because it is difficult to fool older people.
He would not talk about these things to those powerful people who have become famous. Only high-ranking officials and generous salaries can win their loyalty. It would be easy for a young and enterprising 'simple' young man like Gu Cheng to talk about his ideals with them. Already.
Li Yuangong was satisfied. Gu Cheng and others had finally survived this disaster. The emperor had spoken, and no one should be bothered about escorting Xiao Kaishan.
At this moment, a eunuch came in with an official document. Seeing so many people present, he hesitated, not knowing whether to say something or not.
Li Yuangong frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. Either the people here are from Jingyesi or the military. They are all ministers of my Da Gan. There is no need to hide it from them."
What Li Yuangong said was beautiful. In fact, what the eunuch conveyed to him was all intelligence information about Daqian as a whole. If there were any secrets related to the royal family or other secrets, others should send them to his royal study.
This information was originally supposed to be circulated to other people present after he read it, so it didn't matter if he let everyone know in advance.
The eunuch said quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty.
Jingyesi and officials from various places have sent intelligence, and rumors have arisen in various parts of Daqian, saying that Your Majesty has collected secret treasures from all over, causing shock in the North and Western Xinjiang.
This time Xiao Kaishan's suppression of the Southwest Red Leaf Army was not because Xiao Kaishan raised a rebel flag, but because he was preparing to seize something from the Liang Kingdom's royal family's secret treasure.
Your Majesty gathered these secret treasures to refine the secret elixir of immortality on your birthday, in order to live forever in the world and become the immortal human emperor, but he did not care about the earthquake in the Central Plains of the world.
Many people from martial arts forces from all over the country have come to Beijing to find out the news, and the number of Jianghu people in the capital has increased by 50% in just two or three months."
As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell silent instantly.
Li Yuangong angrily smashed the paperweight on the ground with a loud noise.
"Nonsense! Who wants to harm me?"
Immortality? This may be a beautiful wish, but it is definitely not a good thing for the Daqian royal family and Li Yuangong.
Countless examples have proven over thousands of years that whenever an emperor reaches the pinnacle of his power and begins to idle and pursue the so-called immortality, it is the beginning of the decline of a dynasty.
Who in this world doesn’t want to live forever?
But even if they have reached the limit of human strength, a strong man in the holy realm who is comparable to the legendary immortal gods cannot live forever. He can only live hundreds of years longer than normal people.
Therefore, powerful people in the holy realm are rarer, even less than emperors. Two or three emperors may be born in a hundred years, but there is a possibility that not even a powerful person in the holy realm can be born.
Once an emperor begins to pursue the illusory eternal life, the other emperor will definitely gather the power of the entire world and do all kinds of weird things, doing things to the left and to the right. In the end, the people will be in dire straits and the world will fall apart.
If this kind of thing happened once or twice, it would be fine, but in the history of thousands of years, there are no less than ten emperors who have done this kind of thing, and none of them had a good ending.
Therefore, when such remarks spread, they almost pointed at Li Yuangong's nose and said: You are going to subjugate the country.
