Chapter 70: The Greatest Emperor in the World, the Art of Clone
After the death of the Left Envoy of Juxing Tower, Dajing's offensive against the Jin Dynasty became more intense. There were fewer and fewer Jin Dynasty masters active on the battlefield. If this continued, it would not be difficult to annex the Jin Dynasty.
The morale of the Dajing front line was greatly boosted, especially among the martial artists who participated in the battle. Only when you face a god in person will you know how powerful a god is. Even a god was defeated in the capital, so how strong must Dajing be now?
After Jiang Ziyu once again witnessed Jiang Changsheng's strength, his ambition grew and he continued to send troops and generals.
Jiang Changsheng still lives a life of farming and practicing in the Taoist temple, feeling contented.
In the courtyard, Jiang Xiu and the thief god were sparring.
Because Jiang Changsheng was watching nearby, the thief was extremely nervous, fearing that he might accidentally hurt Jiang Xiu.
The ten-year-old Jiang Xiu's moves were already very fluent, but unfortunately they lacked killing power. The God of Thieves indulged him and allowed him to fully demonstrate what he had learned.
Hua Jianxin sat next to Jiang Changsheng, giving instructions to Jiang Xiu from time to time, while Jiang Changsheng watched the battle while refining the elixir.
for a long time.
Jiang Xiu was out of breath and called for a stop to the fight. The God of Thief immediately slipped away, fearing that he would be blamed by Jiang Changsheng. He couldn't help but use his Qinggong skills, causing Jiang Xiu to fall flat on his face and his chin was bruised.
Jiang Xiu was a little man, and he didn't cry. He stood up and continued to spar with his opponent.
Hua Jianxin called Jiang Xiu over and wiped his wound.
Jiang Xiu looked at Jiang Changsheng and asked with a disappointed look on his face: "Master, am I really useless?"
Jiang Changsheng glanced at him and said, "A little bit."
Jiang Xiu felt even more uncomfortable and his eyes turned red.
Hua Jianxin quickly comforted him and said, "Xiu'er, you are already very good, but your master has high standards. Think about who your master taught his disciples, General Ping An, Arakawa, and your father."
When Jiang Xiu heard this, he thought it made sense and his mood improved slightly.
Jiang Changsheng asked: "Xiu'er, how is your relationship with your other brothers and sisters?"
Jiang Ziyu has given birth to six sons and seven daughters, and the third prince is two years younger than Jiang Xiu.
Jiang Xiu replied: "It's fine, what's wrong?"
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, " Nothing , just asking casually."
After Hua Jianxin helped Jiang Xiu clean his wound, he asked him to go play with the Longqi Temple disciples. When he left the courtyard, Hua Jianxin said worriedly, "The third prince is a martial arts genius and has already worshipped Zong Tianwu as his master. The other princes have no talent for the time being."
Jiang Changsheng joked, "They are all your grandchildren, but you only favor Xiu'er?"
Hua Jianxin rolled his eyes and said, "Of course not, I'm just afraid that another dispute over the crown prince will break out and hurt their brotherly feelings."
There was one thing she didn't say, which was that the brothers in the Jiang family would always fight.
Except for Jiang Yu, all of Jiang Changsheng's other brothers died a miserable end. After Jiang Yu came to power, he used many means to get rid of the prince.
The same thing happened to Jiang Zihan. Many of his brothers were killed. In the end, Jiang Ziyu won, but he had no brothers left.
Jiang Changsheng also had such concerns, so he asked about Jiang Xiu's relationship with his brothers.
This is the case with the royal family. The attitude of the royal family towards their brothers and sisters in the early period of the dynasty can easily influence future generations. Just like Li Shimin, although he can be regarded as an emperor of all ages for his civil and military achievements, the Xuanwu Gate Incident had a profound impact on the Li family.
Jiang Changsheng said: "I will remind Ziyu later."
Hua Jianxin nodded and said, "Okay." Jiang Changsheng chatted for a while and then got up and left. Jiang Changsheng practiced and refined pills all day long, and it was boring to stay with him, so Hua Jianxin spent most of his time with his grandson.
Bai Qi was admitted to the hospital only after she left.
It was sent away by Jiang Changsheng to prevent this guy from hearing anything.
Bai Qi came to Jiang Changsheng and said, "Master, I have driven away the birds in the medicinal field. I left their scent behind. They will not come back in a short time."
Jiang Changsheng nodded slightly and concentrated on refining the elixir.
Bai Qi asked curiously, "What kind of elixir did you make this time?"
Jiang Changsheng replied: "Body-tempering pills."
Even if you are a cultivator, you still need to have a strong body in order to carry more spiritual power.
When Bai Qi heard this, his eyes lit up and he began to look forward to it.
When Jiang Changsheng made elixirs, he would always share them with those around him. Although his treatment was not as good as Bailong's, at least he could still eat them.
After following Jiang Changsheng for sixteen years, its strength has improved by leaps and bounds, surpassing decades of hard training.
…
In April of the fifteenth year of Qianwu, Xu Tianji led a large army to break through the royal city of the Jin Dynasty, entered the imperial palace, and planted the military flag of the Jing Dynasty. From then on, the Jin Dynasty was incorporated into the territory of the Jing Dynasty.
When the news was passed back to Dajing, the people of the Thirteen States and the Outer Nine States were all jubilant. They were witnessing the rise of a powerful empire!
After annexing the Jin Dynasty, the Northern Zhou began to withdraw its troops and the war also stopped. Jiang Ziyu decided to rest for two years and store more war food, horses, weapons, etc. He still had great ambitions and was not in a hurry.
Jiang Ziyu is only thirty-six years old now!
Emperor Jingwen ascended the throne at this age, but he had already made great achievements.
When Jiang Ziyu was still the King of Wei, he turned the tide when the Jing Dynasty was about to collapse and recovered the country. After he ascended the throne, he swallowed up the ancient Khanate and the Jin Dynasty and doubled the territory of Dajing. With such achievements, as long as he is not stupid in old age, his status in history books will surely surpass that of Emperor Jingwu and Emperor Jingwen, and he will even be ranked among the top three among all the dynasties in the Thirteen States throughout the ages. The whole country is of one mind, and the monarch and his subjects, and the monarch and the people are of one mind. The people all believe that the emperor can achieve more.
In the imperial study.
Hua Jianxin came to visit Jiang Ziyu, and Jiang Ziyu closed the door after having someone serve him some snacks.
"Zi Yu, you are busy with the country and the people, and I should not have interfered. But now the princes are getting older and older. It is the age of mental stability. The position of crown prince should be decided as soon as possible to avoid future troubles. Not only that, it is best to let them study together and enhance their feelings for each other when educating the princes." Hua Jianxin said seriously.
After hearing this, Jiang Ziyu smiled and said, "Mother is right. I also wanted to make Jiang Xiu the crown prince. I just thought he was too young. Mother, don't worry. The stain of the first three generations of the Jiang family will not be passed down from generation to generation. I will correct the Jiang family."
When facing Hua Jianxin, he did not call himself "I", giving Hua Jianxin enough face.
Hua Jianxin nodded. She looked at Jiang Ziyu and said with pity, "Ziyu, you have lost weight recently and your complexion doesn't look too good. Do you want me to ask your father to make some pills for you to nourish your blood? Although the country is important, your health is more important."
Jiang Ziyu sat back at the imperial table and said, "Of course I would love to have that. Don't worry, I know what I am doing. I don't want to be a short-lived emperor."
Hua Jianxin felt relieved after hearing this. The mother and son chatted for a while. Hua Jianxin did not disturb him for too long and got up and left.
Jiang Ziyu picked up the memorial, but put it down after not reading it for long. Hua Jianxin's words reminded him that he was indeed a little negligent about the harem.
"Jiang Xiu..."
Jiang Ziyu's eyes flickered and his fingers tapped on the table.
He actually had another plan in mind.
When it comes to who will be the crown prince, he would rather look at talent, but if Jiang Xiu is not made the crown prince, it would indeed easily cause chaos.
Rather than fighting within the royal family, he didn't want to hand over the throne to a tyrant.
He said, "Chief Xing, pass down the order. Starting tomorrow, the Crown Prince will come to accompany me to review memorials for two hours every day."
This was his win-win strategy, to personally cultivate Jiang Xiu's talents, but if he was still not as good as other princes, then there would be nothing he could do.
"yes."
A cold voice sounded in the imperial study.
…
After the ceasefire of the Jing Dynasty, the country was peaceful and the people were safe. The surrounding dynasties did not dare to provoke the Jing Dynasty. Faced with the Jing Dynasty's overbearing trade demands, none dared to disobey. The national strength and economy of the Jing Dynasty grew day by day.
October.
Boom boom
The capital city was suddenly hit by an earthquake. Longqi Mountain shook violently and houses collapsed. Jiang Changsheng pressed the ground with his right hand and poured his spiritual power into Longqi Mountain, using his own great strength to stabilize the mountain.
But the capital city was not so stable. The streets were cracked, the city walls were broken, as if the end of the world was coming.
The earthquake lasted seven times before it completely stopped, with the longest lasting nearly two minutes.
After the earthquake, the Imperial Guards began to rescue the people in the city, and the disciples of Longqi Temple also began to rescue the injured disciples and pilgrims. Thanks to Jiang Changsheng's intervention, no one died in Longqi Temple.
Bai Qi grinned and said, "Isn't the capital the dragon vein of the Thirteen States? How could there be an earthquake?"
Wang Chen picked up the broom and said, "There was an earthquake several decades ago, but this time the earthquake was much smaller than that one."
Bai Qi shook his head, looked at Jiang Changsheng under the tree, and said, "That may not be the case."
Its eyes were full of awe.
Wangchen’s martial arts skills were too low to be able to feel it, but he could feel that during the earthquake, a vast force was holding Longqi Mountain steady.
It couldn't imagine how powerful Jiang Changsheng's skills were, he could even shake a mountain.
Jiang Changsheng didn't say anything. In order to stabilize Long Qishan, he consumed a lot of spiritual power. It was not so difficult to attack the Mahayana Dragon Tower, because not only did he have to stabilize Long Qishan, but he also had to stabilize the rocks under the ground. Of course, this amount was only relative to the previous battle.
He didn't think much about it. After all, it was a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, so he planned to continue practicing.
[In the fifteenth year of Qianwu, Sizhou encountered a major earthquake that was rare in hundreds of years. Longqi Mountain almost collapsed. Fortunately, you took action and successfully survived the disaster and received the survival reward - the spell "Doppelganger Technique"]
Sizhou?
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly and found that he had underestimated this earthquake. The earthquake decades ago only affected the capital, but now it involves the entire Sizhou. In addition to the capital, Sizhou has more than 20 cities, and it is unknown how many casualties there are.
It’s not his place to worry about these things. Let Jiang Ziyu worry about them.
Jiang Changsheng began to pass on the art of clones.
The art of clone is a good thing!
He now has no shortage of offensive or defensive spells or unique skills, but he lacks these strange and bizarre spells to make himself omnipotent.
After he had passed on the art of clones, he stood up and walked into the house and began to practice the art.
The clone technique can create a clone. The strength of the clone depends on how much spiritual power Jiang Changsheng injects into it. The clone can also fight!
Good spell!
…
The capital city was desolate, with cries of grief echoing throughout the city.
Han Tianji stood on a ruin, frowning and looking around. He held a golden jade pendant in his hand, and the jade pendant was trembling.
He frowned and murmured, "What's going on... The dragon vein's luck has changed..."
He looked down at the ground, his eyes full of confusion.
He inherited the knowledge of destiny in Xiansheng Cave, but he couldn't figure out the current situation.
He suddenly remembered his master's words:
"The thirteen states of the Jing Dynasty contain dragon veins. There are only nine dragon veins in the world, and each dragon vein contains huge luck. However, the dragon veins of the thirteen states are weak. How strange! If it is not man-made, there must be a great disaster."
At that time, he thought that it was because Mahayana Dragon Tower dominated martial arts and its luck declined, which led to the weakening of the dragon vein. Now it seems that this is not the case.
The dragon vein hides a big secret!
