Chapter 303: The Year of Dinghe, Grandparents Meet Grandchildren
In the fourteenth year of Dihuang, the people of the world all thought that the emperor's butcher knife would stop, but they did not expect that the emperor became more crazy, and princes and aristocratic families were demoted almost every month, and even a prime minister was dismissed. Shuntian City was in turmoil, and officials from all states in the world were terrified.
During this year, relations among the various states in Dajing became extremely tense, because in order to please the emperor, various states and factions would submit memorials to each other. The situation of this year was destined to leave an important mark in history books.
The summer is hot.
Jiang Changsheng was meditating and practicing in the Zixiao Palace. His soul left his body and came underground, overlooking the entire underground space.
With the underworld as the center, there is a vast ocean with a radius of tens of thousands of miles. It is the water of the Yellow Spring. In the dim underground, the water of the Yellow Spring is glowing and rippling. Looking from above, the sea is so deep, as if leading to an unknown world.
In front of the underworld, the souls of the dead lined up in a long dragon, and the world-destroying tree behind the underworld was larger than ever before, with a truly magnificent and shocking beauty that supported the world.
As the number of dead souls in the underworld increases, the speed at which the underworld evolves its reincarnation rules is getting faster and faster. It won't be long before the underworld will be able to open up reincarnation and get involved in the reincarnation order of this martial arts world. All the dead souls reincarnated from the underworld will have to return to the underworld after death and continue to be reincarnated from the underworld. This is reincarnation. The underworld controls the reincarnation order, and rewards and punishes good and evil clearly. All living beings will also help the underworld to become stronger and stronger.
Jiang Changsheng could spy on the space inside the underworld. Ten Kings of Hell had been set up inside the underworld, forming another world of its own.
Looking at the various states of being of all living beings, Jiang Changsheng 's heart of Tao became clear, and he entered the state of enlightenment again.
Only by comprehending the universe can one realize the truth.
Today, Jiang Changsheng's understanding of the principles of yin and yang, and of cause and effect, has begun to change.
I don’t know how much time has passed, maybe dozens of years, or maybe just an hour.
Jiang Changsheng's soul returned to his body. He slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Mu Lingluo was still practicing martial arts nearby and did not notice his abnormality.
"The tenth level of the Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong is really unimaginable."
Jiang Changsheng thought silently that now his Dao Fruit could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own without having to expend energy to absorb it. His daily practice mainly focused on practicing Taoism and tempering his soul and body.
There will be great changes in each level of Taoism. The ninth level will transform into magic power, and the tenth level will be to become an immortal!
As to whether becoming an immortal is the end, it is not known for the time being, but in Jiang Changsheng's view, becoming an immortal may just be another starting point.
The so-called survival system might be the inheritance of the way of cultivating immortals. The magic weapons, skills, supernatural powers, etc. he obtained might be the condensed world of cultivating immortals. Perhaps the survival system was originally transformed from the heaven and earth.
Jiang Changsheng thought about it silently, but did not dwell on this issue. He just focused on his own cultivation.
He began to habitually calculate the strongest people in each range.
The strongest people in the known range have reached 8 billion, while the supreme demon clan has not exceeded 6 billion. The strongest people in Tianjing Land except him are still more than 200 million, that is, the ferocious beast Tongtiandi who had entered Dajing with his consent before.
Tongtiandi has become the mountain god of the land and is deeply loved by the people.
The strongest people near Dajing have reached 1.5 billion. Another existence in the realm of emperor of heaven and earth has arrived, but he has appeared for a year and has not taken any action. He is probably observing the situation in Dajing. The tragic defeat of the Qiangliang tribe is enough to shock the southern part of Taihuang. The Qiangliang tribe has not made any move so far. It is estimated that they are brewing a real Taihuang war.
Jiang Changsheng was not afraid. Ninety years ago, he broke through to the ninth level of the Taoist Natural Power. At that time, his net worth exceeded 4 billion. Now his net worth has doubled.
If the Qiangliang tribe dares to come, we will give him a survival reward!
After Jiang Changsheng finished his calculations, he felt a little relieved, and then began to feel the thoughts of Jiang Jian and Lin Haotian. As for Ping An, this kid had no thoughts at all.
Recently, Jiang Jian encountered difficulties in the human tribe, but he had the help of Lin Haotian, Ping An and Ling Feng, and he never asked Jiang Changsheng for help. Even when facing a powerful enemy with a higher realm than himself, he was able to face it with gritted teeth.
Jiang Changsheng was very pleased about this. Although the emperor disappointed him, he still had some offspring that satisfied him.
Since Jiang Jian chooses to rely on himself, Jiang Changsheng will naturally not help. When Jiang Jian really faces a life-and-death crisis, Lin Haotian will definitely ask him for help, so there is no need to worry at all. Enduring the hardships will make them stronger.
Jiang Changsheng began to feel the voices of other believers and choose one to help him solve his difficulties. Until today, he still maintains the frequency of helping once a month. The six incense gods have also grown up completely. After Li Yi came to Dajing with Fengtian, the name of Thunder God began to resound throughout the land of Tianjing, and he was once regarded as the world's number one prodigy.
Although the emperor has made drastic changes, there are many circles and rivers and lakes in the world, and each has its own story going on.
…
Two years later.
In the sixteenth year of Dihuang, Emperor Jiang Han chose to abdicate, and the crown prince ascended the throne. At the end of the year, the coronation ceremony of the new emperor was held. The whole country was in an uproar, the people were worried and regretful, while the nobles and clans were relieved.
The emperor has been beheading people in recent years. Those he has beheaded are all the heads of the nobles, clans, and powerful people. Every time he confiscates their property, he distributes the money to the people of the world. Naturally, he has a high status in the hearts of the people. Of course, except for those vassal states that have been targeted, some vassal kings are very kind to the people, so the people under their command are very dissatisfied with the emperor's dismissal of their vassal kings. However, compared with the people of the world, this situation is not worth mentioning.
End of the year.
The coronation ceremony began in Shuntian City.
In front of the Human Emperor Monument, under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials, Jiang Han prepared to personally put the emperor's crown on the prince.
The atmosphere was solemn and the scent of sandalwood filled the palace.
Jiang Han looked extremely weak due to accumulated injuries. He picked up the emperor's crown tremblingly with an expectant , but the prince's expression was not good, and his eyes were full of anxiety.
"I leave Dajing to you. This is all I can do..."
Jiang Han smiled with difficulty. He had been in power for sixteen years and worked diligently, but he did not enjoy himself like Emperor Zhao and Emperor Anzong. At least he felt that he had done his best for Dajing and his ancestors.
The prince was about to speak.
At this moment, an old official suddenly stood up and angrily shouted, "Jiang Han, you slaughtered so many people, and you think that giving up your position can wash away your sins? Impossible! The Jiang family is not worthy of being the master of Dajing. Dajing's fate has come to an end. Jiang Han, you'd better live to see Dajing destroyed!"
After saying this, he slapped his own forehead, blood gushed out of all his orifices, and he died.
When the ministers saw this scene, they were moved but all fell silent.
They had been living in fear day and night over the years, and the old minister's idea made them feel proud.
Jiang Han's face looked extremely ugly, and he subconsciously wanted to curse back, but after thinking of something, he finally sighed helplessly. The prince immediately asked An Chang, a disciple of Qi Sheng, to send people to collect the bodies.
Jiang Han looked at the prince again and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Such a situation occurred during the coronation ceremony, making the atmosphere weird.
The prince took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I... I am not afraid. Dajing is the Jiang family's world. It has been like this before and it will be like this in the future. Don't worry, father. Your Majesty, I will not let you down!"
Jiang Han showed a gratified smile, his eyes full of anticipation.
After the coronation ceremony, the palace began to be renovated.
At the beginning of the following year, the new emperor issued an edict to change the reign title to Dinghe.
In the first year of Dinghe, the emperor valued his confidants and directly promoted An Chang to the position of Minister of Transport. An Chang accompanied Qi Sheng in traveling around the country for a hundred years and made friends with many powerful warriors and merchants. With the emperor's consent, he began to promote a large number of warriors and businessmen.
In addition to An Chang, some of the guests who had previously accompanied the emperor in practicing Taoism were also promoted.
The emperor did not kill people like the Emperor of Earth, but he promoted many people and demoted many old officials. However, since he only demoted them and did not abolish their families, it did not cause any waves.
However, in early July, the Emperor of the Earth was assassinated in the ancestral palace, which shocked the world. The emperor was furious and ordered the White Guards to conduct a thorough investigation. Anyone who was related would be punished along with his entire family, causing panic among the people of Shuntian City.
That month, the emperor sent Jiang Han into the Taimiao, and gave him the temple names Hongzong and Jinghongzong.
During the reign of Emperor Hongzong, he led Dajing to defeat the invading powerful tribes of Taihuang and brought benefits to the people of the world. His temple name was recognized by the people, but was criticized by the civil and military officials in the court. However, Jiang Han had just died and the emperor was still furious, so no one dared to refute him.
After Jiang Han died, he was in a daze. When his soul regained consciousness, he found himself in a bamboo forest.
He looked up and saw a Taoist sitting next to him. The Taoist had an immortal look and a small sun was hanging behind his head. The divine light was so bright that it obscured his face.
Jiang Han was horrified. He subconsciously wanted to salute, but soon felt something was wrong.
Am I not dead?
He looked down at his hands, which passed through his body easily and could touch nothing.
"That's right, you are dead." Jiang Changsheng's voice came.
Hearing this, Jiang Han did not despair. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. He respectfully saluted Jiang Changsheng.
"Unfilial descendant Jiang Han pays homage to the ancestors."
This was the first time they met.
Jiang Changsheng asked calmly with an indifferent tone, "What's unfilial about that?"
Jiang Han said: "There are too many unfilial acts. My descendants understand, but there is nothing they can do."
The bamboo forest was silent, and a breeze blew by, bringing great coolness, but the dead Jiang Han could no longer feel it.
Jiang Han raised his head and said, "Ancestor, don't blame my son. I hinted to him to do this. He needed an excuse, an excuse to help him eliminate the enemy and consolidate the imperial power."
The person who killed Jiang Han was none other than the current emperor .
Jiang Han understood why his ancestors called him. He said helplessly, "Emperor Taizong once said that we should not fight against each other within the same family. However, in the royal family, such things cannot be prevented. I am saying something unpleasant, please do not blame me. Emperor Taizong has made contributions, but the current situation is the root of the disaster. His will forced the emperors of later generations to be lenient to their brothers, resulting in more and more vassal kings. The relatives of the clan became more and more contemptuous of the emperor because they were sure that the emperor would not dare to kill them. But ancestors, rest assured, no one of the descendants knows the truth of this action. The only person who knows this will definitely be eliminated by the current emperor."
"History books will not record our fratricide. They will only praise the emperor as a father who angers the world. My cruelty during my reign will only make him more wise and merciful."
