Chapter 43: Unprecedented, King Wei Descends the Mountain
Eunuch Li did not leave, but stayed in Longqi Temple and transformed into an old Taoist priest. The reason why he was kept was that Jiang Changsheng was of course useful, but he had to be kept for future use.
Inside the house, Jiang Changsheng opened the box and found a piece of bone inside.
The white bones then emitted black air and condensed into a human figure in front of Jiang Changsheng. The person was wearing purple clothes, a bronze mask on his face, and his long hair was tied up under his crown. He looked extremely mysterious, and his figure resembled Jiang Yuan when he was in his prime.
Execute the head!
Jiang Changsheng felt his breath and unexpectedly reached the state of mind of a god. The level of his true energy was in no way inferior to that of Tianshan Ji Que.
Xing Shou clasped his fists and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
His voice was hoarse and his emotions could not be discerned.
Jiang Changsheng said, "I am no longer the crown prince, nor will I be in the future. Jiang Yuan has passed away, and I will hand you over to the King of Wei. You should know this, right?"
Xing Shou nodded.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xing Shou. Xing Shou had no time to react and was marked with the reincarnation mark.
Xing Shou retreated to the door as if he had teleported. He asked in a deep voice, "Master Changsheng, what do you mean?"
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "It's just a little trick. Although there is Jiang Yuan's order, he is dead after all. I can't gamble. You are an evil spirit. Just assist the King of Wei with peace of mind. When the great cause is completed, I may grant you a great opportunity."
Xing Shou was silent for a moment, then said, "What opportunity? For me, what opportunity can make me excited?"
"A true transformation? Or taking over another body and becoming a real person?"
Jiang Changsheng smiled, and Xing Shou shuddered when he heard it.
The demons and evil spirits in this world are all transformed from wild beasts and lonely ghosts. There is no way to cultivate immortality in the world. They can only rely on their talents to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or imitate martial arts practice, but these methods cannot change their nature.
The most evil spirits can do is possess a person, but they cannot possess the person for a long time.
When Xing Shou thought of Jiang Changsheng's various magical qualities and unfathomable skills, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
Maybe he can really do it?
Xing Shou came in front of Jiang Changsheng, half-knelt down, and said: "The late emperor has passed away. From now on, Xing Shou will respect you as the master. I am willing to obey your orders and assist the King of Wei."
This statement is very insightful, and it shows who the real master is.
Jiang Changsheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "You can practice for the time being."
The head of the executioner turned into black gas and dissipated, drilling into the white bones.
Jiang Changsheng placed the box in front of the windowsill so that he could absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.
Life returned to normal.
Wang Chen accompanied the Queen all day long, accompanying her through her last days, and she did not tell Wang Chen about her relationship with Jiang Changsheng.
The Queen Mother was very satisfied to see Jiang Changsheng every day.
Jiang Changsheng originally wanted to refine some life-extending pills for her, but was rejected.
Although Jiang Yuan had treated her badly, she had always loved this man deeply. Now that Jiang Changsheng had grown up, she had no worries anymore.
April.
The Queen Mother met with Yang Che alone. After talking for an hour, Yang Che left, and she died that night.
Jiang Changsheng buried her on the hillside behind the yard, and Wang Chen and Eunuch Li accompanied him to pay tribute.
Both of my parents in this life died of old age. Before they died, they recognized each other, so I really have no regrets.
The separation between life and death made Jiang Changsheng gain more insights.
The road to immortality is not only filled with expectations, but also with sadness. However, compared with the pursuit of immortality, these sadness are nothing, and he is not very familiar with his parents in this life.
He is already forty-four years old this year, and considering his past life, he is also an old man, but his mentality is still very young.
Only if you are strong enough can you experience less vicissitudes.
Wang Chen couldn't help but express his gratitude: "Thank you, Taoist priest. If my mother stayed in the palace, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Changsheng waved his hand and turned to leave.
Eunuch Li shook his head and laughed, then left. He did not point out the relationship between Jiang Changsheng and the Queen. Unless Jiang Changsheng wanted to, he was willing to keep this secret to the grave.
…
In the Golden Palace, the new emperor Jiang Yu sat on the dragon throne. He looked down at all the civil and military officials in the court with great pride.
The emperor's seat is truly fascinating.
An old eunuch glanced at Jiang Yu from the lower part. Jiang Yu felt his gaze and said, "Guhan and Jin Dynasty are eyeing us covetously. Dajing and Guhan are fighting to the death. Dajing is facing an unprecedented crisis. Do you have any good ideas?"
All the civil and military officials in the court were silent, and no one dared to speak.
Whoever opens his mouth is asking for death.
They were full of resentment. They had been living in peace with the ancient Khan, but Emperor Jingwu insisted on attacking the ancient Khan in order to become the greatest emperor of all time. Now the two dynasties had become complete enemies and both wanted to wipe them out completely. There was no talk of peace.
Emperor Jingwu made mistakes, and so did the current emperor, who destroyed half of Dajing's military forces. Now famine is raging everywhere, and people are living in misery. The Jin Dynasty is even more insidious, and took the opportunity to win over Gu Khan. All the diplomats sent by Dajing were humiliated, and the Jin Dynasty threatened to crush Dajing within five years.
Faced with threats from the two dynasties, no general dared to stand up.
Someone stood up and said, "The most powerful general in Dajing is still the King of Qin. Your Majesty, why don't you give the King of Qin the power to recruit troops?"
Jiang Yu glanced at him, and scared him so much that he shut up immediately.
Ever since Jiang Yu was defeated, Jiang Yu forbad Jiang Yu to recruit soldiers. Even after the death of the late emperor, he did not allow Jiang Yu to return. Now Jiang Yu is guarding a city in the north, struggling like a trapped beast.
Jiang Yu slowly said: "I have a plan that can save the country from danger."
Civil and military officials raised their heads and looked at him, their eyes full of curiosity.
How can we resolve this situation?
"Change the country's name to Chu, and win over the people of Chu to jointly protect the land of the Thirteen States." Jiang Yu glanced at everyone in the hall and said slowly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall was in an uproar.
"Nonsense! How is this different from surrendering to the enemy?"
An old minister stood up and cursed angrily, and the other ministers also did not care about being afraid and started cursing.
They have been wondering over the years why Jiang Yu kept promoting people from Chu, but they never thought that Jiang Yu would actually want to restore Chu!
This is ridiculous!
Looking at history, this is unprecedented!
If this succeeds, Dajing will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame in history!
"Absurd! Your Majesty, are you crazy?"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"Restore Chu? What will the people of Dajing think now?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you say surrender to the Jin Dynasty?"
"Ridiculous! This is ridiculous, Your Majesty. Who gave you such a good advice? He is truly a genius!"
The ministers were so angry that they didn't even care about the emperor's dignity. All kinds of unpleasant words entered Jiang Yu's ears, making his face look extremely ugly.
He didn't expect that the usually cowardly civil and military officials would dare to insult him like this.
"How dare you! Are you tired of living? Do you want to be beheaded? Do you want your entire clan to be implicated?"
Jiang Yu stood up and roared, his energy surging, shocking everyone.
The Prime Minister of the Shangshu Province knelt down and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please give up this delusion! Otherwise, we will resist even if we die!"
"I hope Your Majesty will give up this delusion!"
The vast majority of civil and military officials knelt down, except for those Chu officials who did not kneel down.
Jiang Yu's face was extremely cold, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
…
In May of the first year of Zhenyu, the news that the emperor wanted to restore Chu spread throughout the world. Although it was suppressed by his ministers, this proposal made the people of the world extremely disappointed and they were full of abuse.
Inside Longqi Temple.
"Father is absolutely crazy. How could he say such a ridiculous thing?"
Fifteen-year-old Jiang Ziyu cursed angrily. He sat next to Jiang Changsheng. The two looked like brothers. The only difference was that the birthmark between Jiang Ziyu's eyebrows made him more handsome and majestic.
Xu Tianji looked at the master and disciple and muttered to himself, "Why are they becoming more and more alike?"
Wang Chen also noticed this. It was usually difficult to detect, but when Jiang Ziyu was angry, his aura was very similar to that of Jiang Changsheng when he faced a peerless master.
Jiang Ziyu looked at Jiang Changsheng and said, "Master, I want to raise an army to suppress the northern border. As long as we defeat the ancient Khan and the Jin Dynasty, my father will never mention restoring Chu again."
His martial arts skills are now perfect. Although he is not yet at the Tongtian realm, he is still a leader among the top masters in the Lingshi realm. With the help of the Yang and Chen families, he is full of confidence.
Jiang Changsheng said: "Wait until Ping An achieves Tong Tian, then we can start the incident."
Jiang Ziyu couldn't help but look at Ping An. Ping An was playing with Bai Long in the courtyard. Bai Long, who was as strong as a dragon, was swung around in his arms, feeling dizzy.
Ping An is not handsome, but his facial features are sharp and angular, he looks heroic, and with his strong body, he looks like a fierce general who can defeat thousands of enemies.
Jiang Ziyu frowned, he also knew the role of a master in the Tongtian realm.
Without peace, he would not be able to deal with the ancient Khan and the Grand Master of the Jin Dynasty.
"Then wait a little longer."
Jiang Ziyu said depressedly, and he secretly swore that when he started the rebellion, he would wipe out the chaos in the world.
Jiang Changsheng called Ping'an over. Although Ping'an was stupid, he was obedient to Jiang Changsheng and listened to Jiang Changsheng the most.
"Today I will begin to teach you the Miao Zong Dharma."
Jiang Changsheng spoke, and when these words came out, other people looked at him sideways.
The ten-year period had expired, and Xu Tianji, who had been preparing to go down the mountain, also became interested. Miao Zong's Dharma Image, that was the unique skill he had been dreaming of.
But how can I get the Taoist priest to teach me?
Xu Tianji was in a dilemma.
…
In the second year of Zhenyu, the emperor appointed his son Jiang Zihan as the crown prince. The crown prince led an army of 100,000 to the northern border. He was full of energy and wanted to prove himself.
June.
Ping An finally reached the Tongtian realm. Jiang Ziyu bid farewell to Jiang Changsheng and went down the mountain. Before leaving, Jiang Changsheng gave him the Xingshou. Now he had a master of the divine mind realm in his hands.
Jiang Changsheng stood in front of the mountain gate, watching the two brothers go down the mountain. Wang Chen, Huang Chuan, Wanli and others stood behind him, as did other disciples. After so many years of getting along, Jiang Ziyu had a good relationship with every disciple in the temple. Naturally, they were reluctant to let him go to the battlefield, but at the same time they also looked forward to him making a name for himself.
Xu Tianji couldn't help but ask, "Master, if I help King Wei, when he succeeds, can you teach me the Miao Zong Dharma?"
He struggled with this for a year and could only think of this solution.
Jiang Changsheng looked at the mountain path and said softly, "Yes."
Xu Tianji was overjoyed. He immediately thanked Jiang Changsheng and rushed down the mountain.
"Your Highness, wait for me!"
"How did you come?"
"I will help you conquer the world."
"Didn't you say that we had to wait until His Highness ascended the throne?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait."
"Go away. When the time comes, I will make sure you charge in front."
The laughter and scolding of Jiang Ziyu and Xu Tianji echoed on the mountain path.
Wang Chen sighed, "Now the King of Wei has no shortage of brave generals. As for counselors, the children of the Chen and Yang families can take over."
With such a lineup, he saw hope.
But even if the King of Wei could turn the tide, how could he ascend the throne?
Is it to please the emperor or to force him?
Wang Chen couldn't help but look at Jiang Changsheng. His profile made Wang Chen feel that it was most likely the latter.
Jiang Changsheng's presence in the capital is the biggest threat to the current emperor, but the emperor doesn't know it yet!
