Chapter 213 Jiang Family Heritage, Seeking to See the True Dragon
late at night.
In front of the emperor's bedroom, Jiang Che came to the door, saluted respectfully, and said, "Father, I am here."
There were no eunuchs or palace maids in front of the bedroom, so he had to shout outside.
"Come in."
Emperor Shuntian's weak voice was heard. Jiang Che took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and then closed the door.
The palace was brightly lit with eight oil lamps lit. He walked up to Emperor Shuntian who was reading a book.
Emperor Shuntian was lying lazily on the dragon couch, with jars of wine and cakes on the small table next to him.
Jiang Che looked at Emperor Shuntian with complicated eyes.
He already knew why his father had called him here. He once hoped that his father would die sooner so that he could ascend the throne. But when this moment really came, he suddenly felt uncomfortable and even confused.
The throne lasts for sixty or seventy years, and the warriors last for more than a hundred years. How to choose?
Do people want to live a wonderful life or live a long life?
For the first time, Jiang Che felt fear for the throne.
Emperor Shuntian put down the book in his hand and raised his hand to motion him to sit on the other side .
"Tonight, we father and son will put aside our identities as emperor and crown prince and have a good chat." Emperor Shuntian said with a smile. He sat up and looked at Jiang Che carefully.
He hadn't taken a serious look at Jiang Che for many years.
When Jiang Che was young, he was worried that his son was not strong enough. In recent years, Jiang Che had the idea of seizing the throne, which made him quite dissatisfied, causing the relationship between their father and son to drop to freezing point. Looking back now, he suddenly felt that he was really contradictory.
It's such a failure that the father and son have ended up like this.
Jiang Che sat down and looked at Emperor Shuntian. At this moment, he also felt regretful.
Is the throne really that important?
He knew very well that he was definitely the happiest prince in history. Before, a prince had plotted against him, and Emperor Shuntian had directly ordered him to be transferred away. The other brothers were also suppressed by their father and dared not have any ambitions.
"Let me tell you the story of the Jiang family. This is what your royal grandfather told me."
Emperor Shuntian smiled and began to recall the past.
Jiang Che listened patiently. When he heard Emperor Shuntian mention the first prince of Dajing, he felt puzzled.
By bringing up the Crown Prince, does your father want to teach him a lesson?
However, as he listened, he began to be moved.
When he heard that the first prince supported his son to ascend the throne, he was filled with shock and fear.
Emperor Jing Taizong!
His great grandfather had such a background...
No wonder Emperor Jingtaizong was extremely unkind to Emperor Jingwen and belittled him in various ways, making Emperor Jingwen the emperor with the worst status in the history of the Jing Dynasty.
Wait, that great grandfather’s father…
He thought carefully about who supported Emperor Jing Taizong.
He suddenly thought of a name and trembled all over.
All doubts are resolved!
I see!
Jiang Che was extremely surprised, and the stone that had been weighing on his heart finally fell.
Daozu is actually their ancestor!
For a long time, people inside and outside Jiangshan have been curious about why Daozu was so indulgent to Dajing. Jiang Che also wondered whether Daozu had other ambitions. Now that he knew the truth, he was completely relieved. It turned out that it was the blessing of his ancestors.
Emperor Shuntian talked about himself from Emperor Jing Taizong all the way. He warned: "This secret must be passed down from generation to generation. Only the crown prince can be told. Daozu will definitely live for a long time. As long as he is still alive and the Jiang family has not forgotten their relationship with him, he can save Dajing at a critical moment. Che'er, remember, only the crown prince can be told. If too many people know about it, the country will be in chaos."
Jiang Che took a deep breath and said, "I understand, and I will keep it in mind."
He was already overwhelmed by the huge surprise and felt a little dizzy.
Emperor Shuntian talked about Jiang Che's childhood again. The father and son were very warm, which made Jiang Che break away from his surprise and be filled with reluctance and regret again.
"When you ascend the throne, you must choose a wise ruler and pass on Dajing's ambition to unify the world. Dajing cannot stop. This is the will of Taizong and Renzong, and it will also be my will..."
Jiang Che's face was serious and his eyes were extremely determined.
At this moment, he truly understood the meaning of inheritance.
…
Noon time.
In the courtyard, Ji Wujun looked towards the direction of the imperial palace and said with emotion: "Is this the inheritance of the Human King of the Dragon Vein Continent? Incredible, it looks very similar to the inheritance of the Holy King of the Holy Dynasty."
At this moment, Emperor Shuntian is using the luck of the Human King to transfer his own power into one of Jiang Che's sons. This is Jiang Che's idea. Since the emperor will not live beyond a hundred years, it is better to give it to his son and let his son establish military exploits as soon as possible.
After some screening, Emperor Shuntian chose a young prince. It was not known whether he wanted to emulate himself or whether that prince was really the most compatible with the destiny of a human king.
Jiang Jian asked: "Can the emperor of the Holy Dynasty also pass on his power?"
Ji Wujun nodded and said, "Of course, the martial arts of the Holy Dynasty are extremely powerful. If Your Majesty does not have a strong military force, it will be difficult for him to suppress a group of strong men with his momentum alone. The number of Cave Heaven Realm strong men in the entire ocean combined is not as many as in the Holy Dynasty. Now that the Holy Dynasty has collapsed, those Cave Heaven Realm strong men have returned to their hometowns, and the martial arts in the ocean will also rise as a result."
Jiang Jian was fascinated by what he heard, and then asked: "The Holy Dynasty is so powerful, why doesn't its luck cover the entire ocean?"
Ji Wujun said: "Because the territory is too large, the luck is scattered, which tends to lower the martial arts spirit of Shenzhou. Shenzhou is where the Holy Dynasty is located. It is the largest continent in the world and is extremely vast. The Holy Dynasty concentrates the luck, which makes Tianjiao emerge in an endless stream. Moreover, allowing the various ocean dynasties to grow is also easy to consolidate the position of the Holy Dynasty."
This is very similar to Dajing’s current strategy. They could have annexed the Dragon Vein Continent, but they allowed other dynasties to exist.
"Is there only one holy dynasty in the world?" Jiang Jian asked.
Bai Qi also looked at Ji Wujun.
Ji Wujun shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. After the ancient times, when the human race was at its peak, there were five holy dynasties. But later, the Holy Dynasty War broke out, and the human race was torn apart and began to decline, until now it has been counterattacked by the demon race."
After the peak, it will inevitably go downhill.
Bai Qi couldn't help but ask, "Apart from Shenzhou, are there only humans in the ocean? On the other side of the Holy Dynasty, on the other side of the demon race, are there other humans?"
Ji Wujun glanced at it and said, "That's unclear. The demon race's territory is no smaller than that of the human race, and no one knows how vast the world is."
Although Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes, he was still listening.
Even the princess of the Holy Dynasty didn't know how big the world was, which made him curious.
Could this be the big world that all the heavens and worlds are heading to?
Strangely enough, he had never heard of ascension. According to the fantasy and fairy-tale novels he had read, when one's strength reached a certain level, one would ascend to a stronger world. The limits that the warriors of this world could reach were absolutely terrifying. It was not impossible to shatter the earth of the previous life with one punch. However, even with such a martial arts civilization, there was no rumor of ascension.
Just when Jiang Changsheng was daydreaming, Qing'er came to visit.
"Daozu, a man who claims to be the master of Hualong Mansion came to visit me. He introduced Hualong Mansion to me. There are strong men in the Cave Heaven Realm in their mansion. Do you want to meet him?"
Qing'er asked, although Dajing is no longer what it used to be, the Dongtian Realm is still the highest realm that is high above and yearned for by countless people.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and said, "Let him in."
He killed the Six Cave Heaven Elders of Hualong Mansion, and the Mansion Lord actually came to him in person. It didn't look like he was an enemy, otherwise he wouldn't have behaved so well.
Since this group of people entered the Dragon Vein Continent, Jiang Changsheng has been keeping a close eye on them. They have not done anything evil along the way, which is why he was willing to meet them.
Ji Wujun said: "It seems that the existence of the white dragon has made them restless. The Dragon Transformation Mansion has worked hard for the real dragon all its life. After they know that the Taoist master rode a dragon, they will definitely go crazy."
Jiang Jian followed up, "I've heard of Hualong Mansion. It's a holy place on the ocean. Master, you have to be careful."
Jiang Changsheng nodded.
Soon, Qing'er brought the Lord of Hualong Mansion, who was the white-haired old man. He had changed into solemn robes and had an extraordinary demeanor.
He walked up to Jiang Changsheng, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "I am Zhu Tianzhi from Hualong Mansion. I heard that Daozu has a real dragon, so I came here to see it. I wonder if Daozu can let me see the demeanor of a real dragon? If it really exists, Hualong Mansion is willing to serve Daozu without any second thoughts!"
As he said this, he half-knelt down.
Ji Wujun frowned, she could see that the other party's realm was the same as hers, but he actually knelt down directly. She had witnessed the true martial arts power of Daozu, and it sounded like the other party was a newcomer, so how could she make such a judgment?
Jiang Changsheng stared at him and asked, "Does Hualong Mansion really want to do this?"
Zhu Tianzhi raised his eyes and said, "Daozu, I already know about Zhu Wuji's affairs. I don't blame you. It was entrusted by the Fengtian Dynasty. If Hualong Mansion wants to blame someone, it should be Fengtian. Hualong Mansion will definitely not care about Zhu Wuji's affairs!"
"Please be merciful and let me see the real dragon."
Jiang Changsheng stared at him, making him feel uneasy.
After a long while, Jiang Changsheng said leisurely: "Tomorrow at noon, I will bring the real dragon. It will appear over the capital. You can make plans after seeing it."
"Thank you Daozu!"
Zhu Tianzhi hurriedly thanked Jiang Changsheng and left quickly.
Jiang Jian asked curiously, "Who is Zhu Wuji?"
Jiang Changsheng briefly talked about Zhu Wuji and said that the Vajra body came from Zhu Wuji.
Jiang Jian was horrified when he heard that the Six Cave Heavens strongman died at the hands of Jiang Changsheng.
It seems that in the decades since he left, Longqi Temple is still as wonderful as ever, even more wonderful than he was.
Ji Wujun said: "The Hualong Mansion regards dragons as gods, and they can indeed put aside their hatred for the sake of dragons. Of course, if Daozu is worried, I can deal with them for you."
Although they were both in the Six Caves Heaven Realm, she did not take the entire Hualong Mansion seriously.
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and said, "We'll see tomorrow."
…
Early the next morning, Jiang Changsheng entered the Yugu Green Bamboo Forest and used his divine sense to isolate the bamboo forest so that no one could spy on it. He then released the white dragon and gave some instructions. Then the white dragon slowly flew out of Longqi Mountain. The huge dragon body pushed through the mist and became a hundred feet long, looking very majestic.
“Yin——”
A dragon's roar pierced the sky above the capital, causing countless people to look up.
