Chapter 301: Mourning the Fate
After some pleasantries, the Crown Princess mustered up the courage to state her purpose.
"I would like to ask you to bless Xuannian and Xuanzhen, and wish them a peaceful life."
The Crown Princess spoke cautiously, and Jiang Changsheng couldn't help laughing.
He began, “Everyone has his own destiny, but if you do good things, destiny will favor you.”
This is not false statement. The underworld will examine the virtues and karma of the dead souls. If the virtues are great enough, there will be better choices and destinations after death. If the karma is heavy, one must atone for his sins in the underworld, and will not be reborn into a good life in the future unless he accumulates virtues.
Yellow Springs have begun to appear around the underworld. Yellow Springs contain the power of reincarnation. Once formed successfully, the undead in the underworld will be able to reincarnate. It will continue to radiate from the land of Tianjing to the entire martial arts world until it controls reincarnation.
Virtue and karma determine one's fate, which was decided by Jiang Changsheng. The underworld is just a magic weapon that can spy on the souls of the dead. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Jiang Changsheng thinks this is reasonable and can also reduce resentment in the world.
The Crown Princess sighed and said, "Since the battle with the Qiangliang Clan, undercurrents have been surging in Shuntian, and the imperial power has been increasingly restricted. I am worried..."
Jiang Changsheng heard the hidden meaning in her words and said, "It is not easy to be born in the royal family. God is fair. You are born higher than the common people, so the dangers you face will naturally be greater. Teach him well and control your own destiny. In addition, Ziyu once said that you should not fight against your own family."
The Crown Princess smiled, but was still worried. She said, "If that happens, even if the other party gets revenge, my two children..."
Jiang Changsheng pulled out three strands of hair from his head and said, "Let them carry them with them. They can save their lives when necessary . You should also carry one."
Over the years, only the Crown Princess brought her two sons to visit him. As an elder, he naturally had to express his gratitude.
The Crown Princess was surprised and quickly took the three strands of hair and knelt down to worship Jiang Changsheng.
This time, Jiang Changsheng did not stop her.
At this time, Bai Zun said in surprise: "This boy's luck is not simple."
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at him, only to see him standing next to Mu Lingluo, staring at Jiang Xuanzhen in her arms.
Jiang Tianming and Jiang Xuannian also looked at Bai Zun.
Bai Qi asked curiously, "Why is it not simple?"
Bai Zun shook his head and said, "It cannot be said."
"Tsk, you're just being mysterious."
Bai Qi said disdainfully, but did not ask any further questions. It guessed that he might be concerned about the Crown Princess and Jiang Xuannian.
The Crown Princess stood up, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Jiang Changsheng said: "You can go back now. I have received your kindness."
The Crown Princess nodded, and could only walk over to take Jiang Xuanzhen, and then leave with Jiang Xuannian.
"Xuan Nian, come and play when you have time!"
Jiang Tianming said reluctantly, and Jiang Xuannian nodded. He also had a good impression of this little ancestor with three eyes.
Just like that, the Crown Princess and her two companions left.
The Sword God sighed, "The Emperor and the Crown Prince are not as good as a woman."
Ye Xundi laughed and said, "As a man, sometimes you just can't save face, and he's the emperor."
Everyone followed suit to tease the current emperor. Although the arrival of the Crown Princess and the other two was brief, it brought joy to the courtyard and made the atmosphere more lively.
"Bai Zun, what's going on with that little grandson of the emperor?" Ji Wujun looked at Bai Zun and asked.
Bai Zun said: "This boy's destiny is the same as that of the Holy Dynasty's Emperor Daotian."
Hearing this, Ji Wujun's eyes widened and he said in astonishment, "Emperor Daotian Wu is an eternal genius who has continued the Holy Dynasty for another two thousand years. How can this boy compare with him?"
Everyone was also frightened. Could it be that Dajing was going to produce a wise ruler?
Bai Zun said: "Historical records show the destiny of Saint Daotian. I am not mistaken. However, it is hard to say whether this boy can become the second Saint Daotian. Different environments and experiences will affect destiny."
Mu Lingluo looked at Jiang Changsheng and asked, "In that case, do you want to train him?"
Jiang Changsheng poured himself a glass of wine and said, "I don't have that much energy anymore. It's tiring enough to raise you guys."
At this time, the Golden Crow shouted from the tree: "The festival in the city is about to begin."
When everyone heard this, they immediately stood up, and Jiang Changsheng also stood up.
Ever since Emperor Jingzhao Jiang Qing promoted the culture of bliss, the capital city has inherited a strong legacy. During every festival, talented men and beautiful women, literati and merchants would come to the capital city. Even though the capital city is no longer an imperial city, the culture of joy is still strong. Every few years, Jiang Changsheng would take time to accompany Mu Lingluo for a stroll.
Nowadays, few people can recognize him, so there is no need to worry about being exposed.
…
Inside a bright hall, the floor was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the silver pillars inlaid with exquisite gems.
There are dozens of pools in the hall, and the water in them is colorful and extremely bright.
Lin Hongchen was meditating in a pool. The potion was steaming hot. His upper body was burning red. His blood vessels were coiled around his body like long snakes, twisting constantly, which was very scary.
A hurried sound of footsteps was heard, and a man in silver armor was seen walking quickly towards them. It was Jiang Changsheng's follower. Because he knew the Taoist very well, he was appreciated by Lin Hongchen and his status continued to rise.
"My God, another Martial Emperor's body has been stolen!"
The silver-armored man said in a deep voice.
Lin Hongchen opened his eyes, frowned and asked, "Who stole it, a human or a demon?"
The man in silver armor replied, "I don't know. He is so stealthy that our people can't catch him at all. But one thing is clear, he is following us. If we continue, we will be helping him."
Lin Hongchen frowned even more tightly.
He slowly raised his eyes, looked at the silver-armored man, and said, "Let's put this plan aside for now. Have someone prepare the gift I've prepared. I'm going to the demon tribe myself."
"yes!"
The silver-armored man responded, turning around and preparing to leave.
"Wait, have you investigated the whereabouts of Daozu?" Lin Hongchen stopped him and asked.
The silver-armored man turned around and said, "It is impossible to track him down, but recently people from all the major dynasties have moved north. I have sent people to inquire, and everyone I have asked said that they were going to track down the Taoist Ancestor and the immortal way. Perhaps the Taoist Ancestor is in the north. If the God of Heaven wants to investigate, I am willing to personally lead people to the north to track down the Taoist Ancestor."
Lin Hongchen's eyes flickered, and he said, "Okay, after I leave, you take people to explore the north."
"Yes, sir!"
The man in silver armor responded and turned away again, but this time Lin Hongchen did not call him again.
Lin Hongchen looked at his departing back, and waited until he left the palace before he murmured, "Northern Daozu, I don't know about this, so how do those believers know? What is Daozu planning?"
Ever since Daozu moved away from Fengtian Dynasty, he felt that Daozu was not as indifferent to fame and fortune as he seemed, and that he must have some ulterior motives.
First it was Dajing, then Fengtian, and now people from various dynasties are rushing there to seek refuge.
Could it be that the Taoist Patriarch wants to establish a holy dynasty?
Thinking of this, Lin Hongchen felt pressured.
Looking at the whole world, he felt that no other dynasty could compare to Daguangtian, but he didn't know much about Dajing, because he couldn't find where Dajing was at all.
If Wu Di Island was still there, he could observe Da Jing's fortune and make a judgment based on it.
Lin Hongchen took a deep breath and slowly stood up from the pool.
"Wan'er, I should go see you too."
…
In the ninth year of Dihuang, the whole country was peaceful.
Jiang Han was reviewing memorials in the imperial study when the God of Thieves entered the room and said, "Your Majesty, I have investigated and found that An Chang, who has recently gained the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is the disciple of Qi Sheng and has practiced with him for a hundred years."
"Qi Sheng? That's not bad, at least his background is clean. Let him continue to follow the prince. Maybe he can be used to mobilize the power of Daozu Sect in the future."
Jiang Han smiled, he knew best how useless his son was, he would be happy if he could get help from a big force, he admired the character of Qi Sheng very much, everyone in the world knew that Qi Sheng traveled the world for two hundred years, erected a statue for the Taoist ancestor, promoted the spirit of non-war, and the civil and military ways he founded promoted the progress of literati.
Outside the Dajing court, Daozu, Qisheng and Guansheng are beings revered by people all over the world. The one ancestor and two saints hang high above the martial arts world, and the most talked-about thing is that the two saints both worship Daozu.
The thief hesitated for a moment and said, "Since you issued the new regulations, the princes of various places have agreed to reduce their troops on the surface, but they have delayed it with various issues such as money, taxes, resettlement, etc. A year has passed, and still no prince has actually reduced his troops. Your Majesty, this is not a good sign."
When Jiang Han heard this, his face turned cold.
The imperial study fell into silence.
a long time.
Jiang Han slowly said, "What do you think if I strike a vassal king first?"
The thief said: "I and the White Guards have already found out the crimes of the princes in various places. If your majesty insists, I will select the worst prince, but the prince will definitely not give up."
At this moment, a eunuch came in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Northern Frontier wants to see you."
King of Northern Frontier?
Jiang Han raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him in."
The thief god immediately walked aside, lowered his head and waited.
After a while, the King of Northern Frontier walked quickly into the imperial study. He looked at Jiang Han and laughed, "Your Majesty is really diligent, much better than the late emperor."
Jiang Han smiled and said, "I wonder why the King of Northern Frontier came all the way to Shuntian to see me?"
The King of Northern Frontier glanced at the God of Thieves, then stepped forward, took out a military token from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and said, "Let's get started. If your majesty still wants to stabilize the country, reducing the power of the vassal kings is the only way. If you reduce the military power of the vassal kings, the aristocratic families will surely be shocked. I am willing to support your majesty."
Jiang Han was moved. He took a deep look at the military token and asked, "I am very curious. You are also a vassal king. Why do you support me?"
The King of Northern Frontier grinned and said, "Because I am a member of the Jiang family, I don't want the country to be in turmoil."
"Then, King of Northern Frontier, are you really willing?"
"I was unwilling before, but I went to Longqi Mountain and completely let it go. Now that Your Majesty is in trouble, I naturally have to take the lead."
"Daozu ordered you to help me?"
Jiang Han asked in surprise, feeling pleasantly surprised that his ancestors still cared about him.
The King of Northern Frontier said without comment: "I saw someone in Daozu's courtyard. This matter has not yet spread. That person is Mingzong's youngest son who was born in the Cave Heaven Realm. As long as Daozu does not want the country to be in turmoil, this child will be the cauldron that stabilizes the country."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Han's face changed drastically.
Jiang Che's youngest son was called the Son of God by the world, but no one knew where the God was exactly. Many people had even forgotten the existence of the Son of God, including himself, the Son of Heaven, who could not even think of him.
Born in the Cave Heaven Realm...
Jiang Han felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
