Digging canals to connect the four directions, building the Great Wall to keep barbarians away, destroying hundreds of countries to rule the world, cutting down thousands of mountains to fill the sea of evil, suppressing evil religions to correct people's hearts, killing evildoers to pacify the wilderness, suppressing treacherous officials to rectify the government, establishing rites and laws to educate the world, Revise the Great Ceremony to pass it on to all generations, and abolish prostitution and worship to enshrine the gods.
These are the top ten achievements of the "Emperor Tianfu" of the Dayong Dynasty.
The Tianfu is the year number.
Heaven is supreme.
Talisman is the pattern of law.
The emperor took this as his year name, which meant that the laws of heaven would run for heaven, and all living beings, ghosts and gods would submit to him.
The Great Eternal Dynasty is located in the Endless Continent.
This continent is called "Boundless", and it is really boundless. Even a person with great supernatural powers who have cultivated the thirty-six transformations of the Dao realm can only glimpse a drop in the ocean.
The summer of the fourteenth year of Tianfu.
In the Imperial Palace University Hall in the capital, the children of the royal family are braving the scorching heat to study.
"There are floods and droughts in some places, and the hungry people are everywhere. How to appease and relieve the disaster? The nineteenth prince, you tell me first." The teacher Sanliu with long beard, gray hair, brocade clothes and Confucian clothes, with a calm demeanor, is Fu Liangtao, the elder prince of the imperial court.
"They have no food, they can eat meat." The nineteenth prince stood up.
He was fourteen years old, with a silly appearance and wrinkled clothes.
"Hahaha… "
"Nineteen is indeed an idiot! I will be punished again today."
"The common people can eat meat if they don't have food to eat? If this story gets out, people all over the world will scold it. If it is recorded in history, it will be a joke after a thousand years."
There was a roar of laughter.
"Is this son really stupid or is he hiding his power and pretending to be stupid on purpose?" A woman in red whispered softly: "No matter what, we must be vigilant against this son, after all, he is a tribute to the dynasty."
Originally, women were not allowed to show their faces, but after Emperor Tianfu came to the throne, he broke the old habits and vigorously encouraged women to study and practice martial arts. After many years of reforms, the customs have become extremely open.
"Gu Chensha, you go and stand outside for an hour, and I will punish you to sort out books in the library for three days." Prince Fu Liangtao pointed outside.
Gu Chensha is the prince who just said "eating meat", ranking nineteenth.
"Yes... yes yes..." Gu Chensha nodded again and again, foolishly walked out, click! When he got up, he almost tripped over the chair, looking as embarrassed as he could be.
"This guy is useless, his foot is unstable, and his martial arts are sloppy. He really doesn't seem to be a threat." Several princes exchanged glances with each other.
"Martial arts are too bad." The woman in red sneered: "My Yong Dynasty established the country with martial arts. Whether the prince can stand out and win the favor of the emperor still depends on his strength. Gu Chensha is already fifteen, and he missed the best age for martial arts training. , it will be difficult to achieve success, which is less of a threat to my Lou family."
The princes in the school had their own ideas, but Gu Chensha, who was standing under the scorching sun, was full of thoughts.
It has been more than 500 years since the founding of the Dayong Dynasty. Taizu Guyong flattened the world, and all the emperors of the past dynasties dominated the world with martial arts and martial arts. Especially now "Tianfu Emperor" Gu Taxian, with perfect martial arts, has pushed the court's influence to the extreme. , even overseas monsters outside the Great Wall and Daoists who cultivate Taoism dare not be presumptuous, fearing that they will be wiped out by the court.
The royal family has no flesh and blood.
Father and son are suspicious, brothers are fighting each other, palace ladies are fighting for favor, and they will do everything. It can be said that every step of the way is frightening. If you are not careful, you will be framed and your reputation will be ruined.
Gu Chensha has more than forty brothers and thirteen sisters, and he has the least background.
The background of the prince mainly depends on the power of the mother clan. He has a brother and uncle who is a general and holds military power.
There are big officials in the frontier.
There are peerless strong.
There are also millennium families.
And Gu Chensha's mother is the princess of the "Xian Dynasty" of the enemy country of the Great Eternal Dynasty, who was sent for marriage.
Later, the Great Yong Dynasty raised troops and destroyed the Xian Dynasty. All the princes and nobles, big and small, were killed. Even Emperor Xian held fire in the treasury. Hearing that the country was destroyed, the princess committed suicide and died.
This caused Gu Chensha to be helpless in the palace, not to mention other princes bullying him, even prestigious guards and court ladies and eunuchs would dare to punish him.
Bullying is still a trivial matter, and there are many people who want to take the opportunity to kill him.
Back then, "Xianguo" and the Dayong Dynasty were at odds, and the two countries had been at war for a hundred years, forging blood feuds, and it was not until the "Tianfu Emperor" ascended the throne that the country was completely destroyed.
In this war, the Dayong Dynasty also lost a prince, several military marshals, and dozens of generals. After the two countries fought a real fire and broke through the capital of the Xian Kingdom, they did not seal their swords for three days, and all the troops slaughtered the city, killing all the people in the capital.
Up to now, there are still civilians in the Xian Dynasty rebelling among the people, and the blood feud has not been forgotten.
Because of this important relationship, many court veterans who slaughtered Xianguo were hostile to Gu Chensha.
The throne is definitely not for him, and it is not a question of saving his life.
Fortunately, he has suffered a lot since childhood, knows how to hide his strength and bide his time, and pretends to be crazy and stupid all day long, so he survived.
Discussions continued in class.
"Lou Baiyue, tell me, how do you provide disaster relief?"
Prince Taifu Liang Tao pointed at the woman in red.
Lou Baiyue stood up: "First kill the local officials, saying that they withheld relief food to appease the victims."
"Then if the magistrate is an upright official, it is only because of a natural disaster that the people rebelled." Liang Tao said.
"I remember in the history books it is recorded that a great emperor sent troops. The army lacked food and grass, and there were many complaints. So the chief general beheaded the food officer, saying that he withheld the army food, and the army's morale stabilized." Lou Baiyue's cold light flickered.
"That would be inhumane." Liang Tao frowned: "Governing the country should be based on benevolence and righteousness."
"If you don't borrow the head of the local officials, how many people will die if the hungry people are bewitched by the tyrants and thugs, and they will attack the city and loot the land? My brother went to Yinzhou to relieve the disaster. Among them were cultists and gangsters who fanned the flames. At that time, there was no food to relieve, and internal and external troubles were on the verge of breaking out. It wasn't my brother who killed the county magistrate to calm people's hearts, and then killed hundreds of troublemakers. It would spread to several provinces, even It will damage the foundation of the imperial court." Lou Baiyue's voice is like gold and stone: "If a place starts a riot, no matter how clean the local officials are, it will be detrimental to the people. We must die to apologize."
The woman in red is called Lou Baiyue, and she is not a child of the royal family, but the daughter of Lou Chongxiao, an important official of the imperial court.
Most of the students of Zongxue are disciples of the royal family, but there are also some children of meritorious officials.
Since the Lou family followed the Taizu to set up an army and set the world, it has experienced the unfailing favor of several generations of emperors, and it is even more glorious and prominent in the Tianfu dynasty.
Lou Chongxiao is the "Duke of the Yuan Kingdom", his two younger brothers, Lou Chongtian, are the "Marquis of Wei Ling", and Lou Chongyun is the "Marquis of Wu'an". , So the Lou family got the nickname "Lou Banchao" in official circles.
With such power, the prince will give the Lou family three points.
"Brother Ling has made great contributions to disaster relief in Yinzhou, and he was personally commended by the emperor." Crown Prince Tai Fu Liang Tao nodded: "However, the way of governing the country is based on benevolence. Excessive killings will damage the virtues of Yin, and secondly, it is easy to develop a cruel temperament, which is good for nourishing Qi." Unfavorable. I hope you go back and tell Brother Ling what I said."
"I must tell you." Lou Baiyue didn't contradict him, just nodded and sat down.
Got it... got it...
The cicadas were making loud noises in the woods, and the accompanying eunuchs wrapped bamboo poles with spider silk and stuck them down one by one. The sun at noon was already making me dizzy, and the cicadas made me even more disturbed. Can't hold on.
When he was punished to stand, this group of clan children had finished their literary lessons and entered the lecture hall to learn martial arts.
"Baiyue, Liang Tao is the leader of the Qingliu in the court. He impeached your father. This time he gave us a disaster relief class and talked about benevolence and righteousness. I think it is quite meaningful. The magistrate your brother killed in disaster relief was his disciple." A prince approached the building to pay homage to the moon. He was dressed in silver, and he looked a bit chic, unlike Gu Chensha's foolishness.
"Who doesn't know how to sit and talk?" Lou Baiyue just sneered: "There are too many Qingliu in the imperial court, and they talk all day long, which is of no use to the people's livelihood and society."
The silver-clothed prince didn't think so, he looked at Gu Chensha who was standing outside as punishment: "Do you think this kid is really stupid or fake? It seems that he became like this when you beat his head when he was ten years old. For this reason you He was also imprisoned for ten months."
"Old Fourteen, don't talk nonsense, the man was beaten by Old Ten, and you were there at that time." Lou Baiyue's face turned cold.
The silver-clothed young prince was ranked fourteenth, named Gu Yunsha, with a smile on his face: "You didn't instigate this matter. You said that this kid said bad things about Lao Shi, and Lao Shi is also a quick-tempered person. He beat him violently without asking. You Father also knows it well, otherwise he wouldn't have gone back and imprisoned you, and Old Ten has also been punished by the clan's house for this."
"What's the matter?" Lou Baiyue disagreed: "My elder brother died when he attacked Xiandu, two of my uncles died in that siege, and my cousin was poisoned and murdered by the remnants of the Xian Dynasty. Xianchao's evil seeds are still lingering, and my father was assassinated last year, do you think I will have a good impression of this kid?"
"After all, he is the blood of the father, and now he has become a fool. Some things should not be overdone." Old Fourteen Gu Yunsha smiled.
"Old Fourteen, don't be hypocritical, you have punished him a lot these years." Lou Baiyue flicked his nails: "You instigated those eunuchs, not to mention deducting his monthly allowance, even the elixir that the prince deserves for practicing martial arts. No, it has caused him to be unable to succeed in literature and martial arts."
"Isn't this just what you want? Besides, when this kid and his old mother were alive, they competed with my mother for favor and played a lot of tricks and tricks. If they don't make trouble now, when will it be?" Gu Yunsha squinted outside: "Bye Yue, I heard that you have improved a lot in martial arts recently? Why don't you show it?"
Lou Baiyue didn't speak, but lightly pressed his soft palm on the big wooden stake for practicing, click, click, the stake suddenly exploded, and sawdust scattered on the ground.
Understatement, unpretentious, but causing crushing destructive power.
"Suyin God Palm, your martial arts cultivation has reached the level of a master?" Old Fourteen Gu Yunsha's eyelids twitched.
"The four mortal realms of martial arts, first glance at the door, enter the hall, enter the room, reach perfection, reach the pinnacle, become a martial artist, a warrior, a master, and a master. In fact, they are all ordinary people. Only the thirty-six transformations of the above realms are the true meaning." Lou Baiyue is always sharp.
"Stepping into the Dao Realm is not easy. Even if our royal family's resources and skills are the best in the world, there are only four princes who can step into the Dao Realm." The fourteenth prince Gu Yunsha frowned, "It is the most important thing to break through the Dao Realm. The main thing is talent and luck, if you have enough talent, but not enough luck, it’s useless.”
Lou Bai looked at the sky with moon eyes: "Once the Taoist realm changes, if you accept Bigu, you will be able to cut off the fireworks in the world, eat Qi for a living, and absorb the spiritual energy of the world with a strong spirit. At that time, the human body will be free from filth, which is really desirable."
"Baiyue, the Suyin Sutra you are practicing now was created by the ancient Su Nv. The Emperor Father surrendered the Su Nv Sect. He got this scripture and gave it to you to practice. It seems that the Emperor Father's favor for you is still in the hands of many princes. Above." The fourteenth prince Gu Yunsha's tone was quite jealous: "This Su Nu Jing is an emperor-grade exercise. The ancient Su Nu is an ancient empress, and the Moyun Jin I cultivated is only a king-grade exercise. That's all."
"I heard that the Seventh Prince has recently cultivated to the Eight Transformations of the Dao Realm, the True Fire of Samadhi. As long as he survives the calamity of burning his body with the real fire, he can cultivate into the Nine Transformations Glazed Jade Body. This level of cultivation should be the first among princes. "Lou Baiyue asked quite meaningfully: "The first nine changes in the Taoist realm, convincing bigu, nine oxen and two tigers, copper skin and iron bones, swallowing gold fossils, gathering spirits from a hundred orifices, refining qi into gangs, flying from the ground, samadhi true fire , Glazed jade body. The rings are intertwined, laying the foundation for the immortal way. Once the nine-transformation glazed jade body is achieved, there will be no disasters, no diseases, no blemishes, and a long life of three to five hundred years."
"Hmph! Lao Qi is the empress's own son, he can be called the son of the eldest son. I don't know how many adventures and the cultivation of the masters behind him to get there. His cultivation is far beyond what we take for granted. But the samadhi is really burning the body, extremely dangerous, and how many surprises are the most beautiful. The characters are all spontaneously combusted into ashes in this level." Gu Yunsha's face was ugly: "I don't believe he can succeed."
