The new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty ascended the throne and issued a series of great plans for governing the country. At the same time, he also granted amnesty to the world. The entire Great Zhou Kingdom swept away the haze of the death of the previous emperor Guo Wei, and replaced it with a new high-spirited atmosphere. At the same time, the land of China
Various countries also sent envoys to congratulate the new emperor on his enthronement. Houshu, the land of abundance, Wuyue, another wealthy country in the east, and the small country of Jingchu, which was in a small land, were even as powerful as the Great Zhou.
The Southern Tang Dynasty, which was working side by side, also sent special envoys to express its goodwill.
When Chai Rong received this news, he had already reviewed piles of memorials. It was the beginning of the new year and the prosperity of all industries was spreading. The Great Zhou Dynasty dominated the Central Plains and was the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.
Like other countries, such as the Northern Han Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty, they were actually established under the banner of the previous Han dynasty, and their ancestors were basically of Hu origin. The former Han, the former Jin, the former Tang, and the former Liang
They all have the blood of the Hu people, but the Emperor Guo Wei of the Zhou Dynasty truly has the blood of the Han people.
The Great Zhou Dynasty occupies the Central Plains, and its capital has always followed the location of the capital of the previous dynasty. Therefore, the Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to be the orthodox country on the land of China. Other countries such as the Northern Han Dynasty, the Southern Han Dynasty, Jingchu, and Wuyue,
As a result, the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was as prosperous and powerful as the Great Zhou Dynasty, could still hardly be called orthodox.
Chai Rong, who was wearing a dragon robe, showed an even more majestic temperament, and his aura of calmness and self-reliance emerged spontaneously. Standing in front of him was his sworn brother Zhao Kuangyin, and his trusted ministers. He frowned,
His face was as calm as water, but his heart was raging. The whole country was celebrating with joy. At this time, many small countries sent envoys to show their goodwill. If the big imperial capital was a big one, there would definitely be a bloody storm.
"Why is Your Majesty so worried? It should be a good thing that all the nations are here to congratulate you. The security of the imperial capital can be handled by General Zhao. In addition, I have received a secret report that the Northern Han Dynasty has sent Prime Minister Wang Dezhong to Khitan secretly. It must be because Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne.
, the national power was unstable, so he hurriedly borrowed troops from the Khitan to attack." Fan Zhi's thin but slender face glowed with wisdom, and he said to Chai Rong.
"There is nothing to be afraid of, Liu Yu. It's just that this time the envoys from various countries have come to ensure their safety without losing the majesty of our great Zhou Dynasty. This matter is more urgent, and Liu Yu can't borrow troops in a day or two."
The states are ordered to strengthen their vigilance, especially at the border with the Northern Han Dynasty and Khitan. They must be on strict alert." Chai Ronghu's eyes lit up, and wisps of light came from his eyes. In the past few days, he has been in charge.
He began to exude the majestic aura of a Nine-Five Supreme Being, and his movements revealed an incomparable domineering air.
"Your Majesty, the security of the imperial capital and the safety of the envoys can be left to the general. The general also found out that there have been many Khitan spies in the imperial capital. According to rumors in the world, the second master of the Khitan Kingdom Yelu Wu
Ji has arrived in the imperial capital, but he has not found where they are staying, but he does not know what conspiracy he is planning to show up in the imperial capital." Zhao Kuangyin has this confidence, and he has become the highest general with military power in the imperial capital, so this
He was not too worried about the security of the imperial capital. However, the appearance of Yelu Wuji, the second master of the Khitan, in the imperial capital made him a little worried.
"The Jianghu matter is a Jianghu matter. Just let the people from the Shengyang Sect handle it. I'm just afraid that Wanyan Wudi will appear. Who in the Zhou Kingdom can compete with him? Don't talk about thousands of troops, even my big army."
All the martial arts cultivators in the Zhou Kingdom could not guarantee my life, so all the people in the Feique Camp were ordered to monitor all suspicious people in the imperial capital day and night."
What Chai Rong is most worried about at this time is the emergence of Wanyan Wudi. He is recognized as the best master in the world. Even the Central Plains Sword Saint Feng Lian Dao is slightly inferior. The only person in the world who can compete with him is Feng Lian Dao.
It is difficult to find the second person. If this person comes to the imperial capital and takes advantage of the chaos to do evil, then the imperial capital will surely fall into even more chaos.
Fu Heng was dressed in a smart attire. He was still dressed like a wealthy man. Although he was named a general, he still had another identity, that is, the leader of the Shengyang Gate. The Shengyang Gate can be said to be the largest in the Zhou Dynasty.
The martial arts sect can also be said to have become the guardian of the martial arts world in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are many disciples of the Shengyang Sect in the imperial palace, and they play an important role in protecting the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Yelu Wuji should not mess around. He also has a disciple, Xiao Tianye, who has also appeared in the imperial capital. Xiao Tianye has been lurking in the Daizhou Feng family for many years. This son should not be underestimated. It is said that the third Khitan prince Yelu Zongheng fought with Wanyan
Tian came to the imperial capital from different places. These three people can be regarded as the peerless geniuses of the Khitan. The younger generation is unmatched. I only regret that we do not have such young talents in the Great Zhou Kingdom. What I will be afraid of in the end is that they will
According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, I, the Great Zhou, will challenge the younger generation. When the time comes, I, the Great Zhou, will have very few people to fight with, and even if there are, they will be far from the opponents of these three people."
Fu Heng's words were like a poisonous thorn inserted into everyone's hearts. The Great Zhou Kingdom has always promoted martial arts and literature, but there are only very few young talents under the age of twenty. Shengyang Sect originally had several good disciples, but compared to those
The three Khitans came, but they were still missing by more than one level.
Fu Heng's worries are not unreasonable. Yelu Zongheng's visit to the imperial capital is by no means as simple as a tourist trip. They must have come with an ulterior conspiracy. But they have not deliberately hidden their whereabouts.
It means that they have no fear. Just as Fu Heng worried, they can challenge the younger generation of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and no one of the younger generation of the Great Zhou Kingdom can compare with the three of them.
"The troops are coming to block it, and the water is coming and the soil is flooding. It is too early to talk about this matter. It is now the second half of the first lunar month, and the envoys from various countries should be arriving soon. My dear friends, it is better to focus on the envoys from various countries first. Regarding the matter of Khitan Yelu Zongheng, it is also
Having to be on guard, General Fu tried his best to select a few outstanding young disciples who could respond in time. I don’t believe that the great Zhou Kingdom would not be able to find a few martial arts geniuses."
After arranging some details, Chai Rong left Zhao Kuangyin alone again. At this time, there were only two brothers but no outsiders. They did not have any etiquette between monarchs and ministers, so they seemed extremely relaxed.
"Second brother, if it is true as Fu Men said, is there really no one in our Great Zhou Kingdom who can compare with those three people?" Chai Rong directly changed the title. There was a trace of worry in his eyes, if it is true
As Fu Heng said, the Great Zhou Kingdom is really going to lose its face. Yelu Zongheng and Wanyan Zhantian are disciples of Wanyan Wudi, the world's best master, and Xiao Tianye is also a disciple of Yelu Wuji, the second master of Khitan.
The three people's martial arts have reached the innate state. All three of them are younger than the age of the weak. However, at such a young age, they have such extraordinary cultivation. They can be called peerless geniuses.
"Our Great Zhou Kingdom is vast and has many talents, but it is really difficult to find such a monster-like genius." Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then he continued: "Brother, don't forget, we
There is still one person who can compete with those three."
"Oh, who is it? Second brother, please tell me." Upon hearing this, Chai Rong's eyes flashed and he asked Zhao Kuangyin anxiously. There are such talents in the Great Zhou Kingdom. He couldn't wait to know who it was.
.Although he has never cared about the affairs of Jianghu martial arts, it is related to the national prestige of the Great Zhou Kingdom, so he is anxious to find out.
"Hahaha, brother, you are really careless. You have forgotten our third brother. If there are people in this world who can compete with those three people, then it must be our third brother. But this is
The world is vast and there are many talents. It is said that a peerless swordsman appeared in the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was only sixteen years old and had broken through the realm of innateness. If this person can be won over, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, must help me. There is another person who is even more mysterious.
I guess, he is dressed in white and is young. His cultivation has already surpassed the innate realm. There is also the thirteenth emperor's brother of the Southern Tang Dynasty leader. He is thirteen or fourteen years old. He is a monster and has also surpassed the innate realm.
.The Khitan Kingdom is a tribe of barbarians, so we have nothing to fear. Why don’t you have confidence, big brother?”
As soon as Chai Rong heard Zhao Kuangyin's words, his eyes couldn't help but shine with brilliant light. At this time, a figure of a young man in black clothes who was as straight as a pine appeared in his mind, with starry eyes.
Jianmei looked upright, that person was none other than Ling Tianyun. But he didn't pay much attention to the other people Zhao Kuangyin mentioned. He only had his sworn third brother in his mind.
"Yes, with the talent and strength of the third brother, the three young men from Khitan can give it a try. But after so many days, second brother, why don't you bring the third brother to see me?
Brother, this is a dereliction of duty on your part. You have been busy with the affairs of the late emperor recently, and I am afraid that the third brother will think that Brother Yu is keen on imperial power and ignore him. Hurry up and ask the third brother to bring him, so that the three of us brothers can get together."
"Brother, you have misunderstood the third brother. There is indeed something wrong with the third brother these days, and he almost lost his life. A demon monk came from the Western Regions. I don't know why, but he pursued the third brother. If it weren't for the high
If someone helps me, my third brother may be taken away by the monster." Zhao Kuangyin gave a bitter smile and explained to the other party.
"A demon monk from the Western Regions?" Chai Rong's eyebrows tightened. This was the first time he had heard of this person. He seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed slightly, "Have you found the whereabouts of Master Huaisu, Brother Yu?
I always feel that this matter is a bit strange. The late emperor recovered from his illness at first, but why did it become more and more serious later? If you don’t mention this, second brother, you will almost forget it."
"Not yet. All the members of the Flying Bird Battalion are distributed throughout the imperial capital, and Master Huaisu is still not found. Brother, do you suspect that Master Huaisu used some means to fail? I don't think it is Master Huaisu's problem.
.There must be some conspiracy here. It’s just that Master Huaisu is not seen alive or dead, which really makes people suspicious. The identity of Master Huaisu’s younger brother is still very certain, but I don’t know why the late emperor recovered and worsened. Among them
There must be something fishy."
After hearing what the other party said, Chai Rong pondered for a while. He went through everything that happened in the past half a month and found that there was nothing suspicious. The only explanation was that there was something wrong with Master Huaisu, but everyone in the world knew it.
, Master Huaisu of Mount Wutai has superb medical skills and is compassionate, so it is impossible for him to do anything to hurt people. Previously, the condition of the late Emperor Guo Wei had improved, but why did it accelerate its deterioration after the year?
I really can't figure it out.
"Okay, second brother, you have worked hard these days. Find the third brother as soon as possible. The three of us brothers will have a good drink. Brother Yu needs to relax. His nerves have been tense these days.
, almost out of breath." Chai Rong was a little taller than Zhao Kuangyin. He reached out and patted his second brother's shoulders. Everyone wanted to be the emperor, but when he sat in this position,
He discovered that he had no control over many things, and that he could not do anything he wanted. For example, when it came to drinking, there might be fewer and fewer people drinking with him in the future. Maybe this path,
Destined to walk alone.
"Brother, there is one more thing. The third brother is originally from the Northern Han Dynasty. If the third brother is pushed to the forefront of this storm, I am afraid there will be some people who are interested in doing harm to the third brother." Zhao Kuangyin saw the lonely look on his sworn brother's face.
, how could he not guess what the other person was thinking, he could only change these topics. The two have been friends for many years, and they know each other's character very well. With different status and different positions, the friendship between the two will also change accordingly.
, it’s just a matter of time. If it were him, what would he do? Facing the brothers with different surnames who were once sworn friends with him, they were detached overlords who covered the sky with one hand. But from the standpoint of a country, they were just
The relationship between monarch and minister is followed by sworn brothers.
"It doesn't matter, there is no need to hide this, and there is no need to exaggerate it. Whether it is a dragon or an insect, the third brother's road to fame will be taken in the imperial capital. Maybe the third brother's name will be resounding throughout the world. By then, the third brother will definitely
Become a famous hero. The great Zhou Dynasty will be proud of him. How can the small Northern Han Dynasty retain this dragon like the third brother?"
