Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 649: Zhuanxu Wants to Abdicate, Mingyu Has Already Taken the Throne

He had been looking forward to his abdication for a long time, so he immediately summoned Emperor Ku to the imperial capital to assist in the administration.

The fifteen-year-old Emperor Ku observed government affairs beside Emperor Zhuanxu for seven years.

Through words and deeds, Emperor Ku mastered the key points of governance at an extremely fast speed.

And almost instinctively, with the vision of a superior, he discovered the shortcomings of the system in place during the Zhuanxu era with incredible accuracy.

He put forward constructive suggestions on the world's "difficult and complicated problems".

Emperor Zhuanxu was very happy about this.

He praised Emperor Ku, saying, "It has been a long time since the world has seen a talent as outstanding as you!"

Zhuanxu was telling the truth.

He has been looking for a successor since the day he ascended the throne.

There are outstanding talents and many people with extraordinary talents.

But there is not a single one who can be called a natural emperor!

The last time a candidate like Emperor Ku appeared.

It was the Gaoyang clan during the Baidi era.

That person's name is Zhuanxu!

Emperor Zhuanxu thought quite complacently, and the more he looked at Emperor Ku, the more satisfied he felt.

"As expected of the former Demon Emperor, it's very fitting for him to come to our human race!"

The human world is experiencing unprecedented changes.

The devil who is ready to make a move will not stay quiet forever.

They are delaying action just to wait for their leader to abdicate, and to make trouble at the time when the new and old leaders are taking over and the fortunes are in turmoil.

At this time, the situation cannot be controlled without a strong leader.

And Emperor Ku, the former ruler of the Demon Court, is the perfect candidate for the next co-leader!

"Ku, I have witnessed your performance over the past seven years, and the ministers at court are also very satisfied with you." Zhuanxu said to Emperor Ku earnestly, "I want to entrust the world to you, but I am also worried that your prestige is not enough to convince all the races of the world!"

Emperor Ku understood the elegant meaning of the music by hearing it.

He knew clearly in his heart that after seven years of observing the government, the leader had decided to test his ability to govern.

Then, Emperor Ku put on a serious expression, bowed his hands and said: "If the Lord has any command, I will not refuse even if it means death!"

A smile appeared on Zhuanxu's face.

He was more satisfied with Emperor Ku.

"From today on, I will appoint you as an Inspector. You will carry the seal of the Lord and leave the Imperial Capital to tour the country. Are you willing?"

Emperor Ku bowed again and said, "Ku, I obey your command!"

Therefore, Zhuanxu bestowed upon Emperor Ku the imperial seal and talisman, and thoughtfully provided him with special ceremonial equipment for the emperor's travels.

The news of Emperor Dai's tour spread throughout the world.

All races were shocked.

Everyone knew that this was a signal that Emperor Zhuanxu was going to abdicate and let someone more capable take over!

For a time, the world was in turmoil.

Except for some forces that know the truth, all parties want to see whether this heir can shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

Emperor Ku toured the country on behalf of the co-ruler.

It goes east to Mount Tai, south to Cangwu, west to Liusha, and north to Mingchi .

Along the way, he not only observed the customs and habits of the tribes all over the world, but also killed many strange beasts.

Emperor Ku cut off Fei Yi at Taihua, killed Xi Meng at Renshui, destroyed Dang Hu at Chongshan, and beheaded Ming Snake at Dahe...

This not only helped the local creatures eliminate the threat from strange beasts, but also won Emperor Ku considerable fame.

Of course, in addition to this, Emperor Ku also enriched the human diet.

Because through his own example, he confirmed that some exotic beasts can be eaten.

For example, "Dang Hu, its appearance is like a pheasant, and it flies with its beard. Eating it will not hurt your eyes."

The reason why some of them are edible does not mean that other exotic animals cannot be eaten, but that there are significant side effects after eating them.

For example, Emperor Ku killed the leader of the local strange beasts in Kushan.

The strange beast here is called Shan Gao. It is red all over and is fat and strong, just like a domestic pig.

Logically speaking, this exotic animal is very suitable as food.

But Emperor Ku did not include it in his recipe.

This is because the strange beast Shan Gao has a characteristic - it likes to curse.

The reason why Emperor Ku killed their leader was that as soon as he arrived at Kushan, he was surrounded and killed by the Shangao leader, and he was also cursed by him.

Emperor Ku killed it on the spot and ate it.

Then, Emperor Ku began a day of sweet talk.

Its "combat effectiveness" is terrifying.

So much so that the accompanying personnel almost reported to the underworld on the spot.

And the side effects of this food are only the mildest.

Others include "eating it will make you crazy", "eating it will cause serious illness", "eating it will cause severe drought", etc., which are too numerous to list.

In short, during the five years that Emperor Ku toured the world on behalf of the co-leader, the accompanying personnel suffered a lot.

Of course, as the biggest foodie of the time, Emperor Ku was not much better.

He hated and hated the strange beasts!

"Look at yourselves, it's okay if you're ugly, but you can't even eat it!"

In a lake in the south, the local specialties gave themselves up to treat Emperor Ku with great hospitality.

However, Emperor Ku was very disappointed with this.

He noted down the characteristics of this strange beast.

"A hook snake, several feet long, with a forked tail, will make a long, incessant howl when eaten."

When the last word fell, Emperor Ku suddenly screamed, and the long whistle sounded endlessly.

The accompanying personnel had gained sufficient experience and left early.

But still couldn't escape this "disaster".

They were all frightened and fell to the ground, and many immortals and gods fell to the ground.

Emperor Ku howled by the water for a whole day and night.

As a result, people from a radius of 100,000 miles had to relocate their families.

“How brutal!”

The creatures who fled their homes were trembling. This was more terrifying than the strange beast, the hook snake!

After tasting the 444th kind of exotic beasts, Emperor Ku realized a problem: there are very few exotic beasts that have no side effects after eating them.

If we want to incorporate these exotic animals into the human diet, it will probably take a long domestication process.

"When I get back, I'll find a professional to do it so I don't have to suffer this pain."

Emperor Ku looked back at his entourage and saw that everyone was still frightened.

So he decisively ended his foodie journey and prepared to return to the imperial capital.

This decision won everyone's unanimous approval.

"Great is Emperor Ku!"

…

Lu State.

Tan Zi of Tan State came to Lu State.

This year, Mingyu was twenty-seven years old.

"I heard that you are an elder from the State of Tan?"

After Mingyu left the Taimiao, she met Tan Zi who "accidentally" passed by.

"Kong Qiu! You have nothing to do here, please leave!"

The person in charge of meeting Tan Zi was Yang Hu, a retainer of the Ji family. He was extremely powerful in the State of Lu , even surpassing the head of the Ji family and even the contemporary king of Lu.

Mingyu didn't even look at this powerful official.

Even Tan Zi, who was received by Yang Hu, did not go to see Yang Hu at this time.

He smiled faintly: "I wonder if you have any questions?"

Mingyu said, "I've been reading classics lately and have become interested in the official system of the State of Tan. I wonder if I could ask you for some advice?"

"Kongqiu, you..."

Yang Hu was immediately furious when he saw Mingyu ignoring him, and immediately stepped forward to scold her.

"Um?"

Mingyu frowned and looked at Yang Hu expressionlessly.

"you……"

The invisible momentum pressed down on him, and Yang Hu was speechless for a moment.

Suddenly, he realized that Confucius' figure was so tall, a head taller than himself.

Yes.

Confucius was a well-known strongman in the State of Lu!

Yang Hu thought so.

The shadow that had been covering him had dissipated at some point.

When he came to his senses, he couldn't even see Tan Zi and Ming Yu.
