Yangjing was destroyed and rebuilt. With the power of Tianyao and Feng, the huge pit in the center of Yangjing was filled up. The newly built imperial city and palace were not as grand and magnificent as the previous Yangjing, but there were also tens of thousands of buildings.
There was heavy snow outside, covering the corners and eaves of the palace. Palace servants walked hurriedly inside the palace. It was dark at night, and many palace servants were holding lanterns.
In the past, Dahuan preferred black and red, and after Dapan unified the world, he preferred white. The emperor and his ministers wore the same colors. However, Da Zhou preferred vermilion and purple. A sharp difference can be seen in the clothing. The change of dynasties also easily changed the customs of the world.
Lu Wu, dressed in a bright red official uniform, hurried through the palace gate and entered the emperor's bedroom in the night. At this moment, Kong Huai had not yet officially ascended the throne, but everyone inside and outside the palace called Kong Huai "Your Majesty". The systems and etiquette inside and outside the palace were all in accordance with the status of the emperor and the Son of Heaven.
Kong Huai was sitting in the palace in casual clothes, reviewing memorials. At this moment, the country had just been settled and there was a lot of work to be done. Various affairs came up, making Emperor Kong Huai so busy every day that he didn't even have time to practice.
However, at this moment, Kong Huai's interest in cultivation gradually faded. Now that he had already conquered the world and become the emperor, the position of the emperor had already fallen into his hands, and he was destined to follow the Shinto system in the future. As for his current cultivation, although he was a third-rank cultivator, his aptitude was not that of a celestial being, and his hope of breaking through to the fourth rank was not great.
Lu Wu stepped forward and saluted. Although Kong Huai's cultivation was not as good as his, he had already become the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and was destined to be an emperor of the underworld. In terms of status, he was not comparable to the cultivators in the realm of immortality.
"His Majesty!"
Kong Huai raised his head and saw Lu Wu. His eyes flickered as if he had anticipated something.
"A letter from the present world?"
"Yes! The letter has come!"
The Great Zhou Emperor Kong Huai put down the memorial and brush in his hand and said, "Speak now! Now that you are here."
The fire in the stove leaped up and exploded, making slight popping sounds. The atmosphere in the palace became a little strange, and the large number of eunuchs and palace servants who were originally guarding the surroundings retreated one after another. Only the Emperor Kong Huai and Lu Wu were left in the huge palace.
Lu Wu frowned, feeling that Kong Huai's attitude was a little wrong. He also felt that what Zhou Yang had said to him before was right. With the establishment of the Great Zhou, the strength of the Great Zhou royal family will flourish and even surpass the present world. Kong Huai, the first Emperor of Zhou, has already been out of control. How should the present world get along with the Great Zhou
Is it control? Or cooperation? Or other means
The lesson learned from King Shao Che Yan was tragic enough, and they absolutely could not allow such a problem to occur again.
It is impossible to control it and problems are more likely to occur. Moreover, this kind of thing can only restrict one generation at most. As the Zhou Dynasty is passed on, problems will always arise.
Then the only thing left is cooperation. But what kind of cooperation and commitment can last for thousands of years and be recognized and abided by by generation after generation of emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty
"This is a deed from the Yin Law Department of Yin Tianzi City. I hope Your Majesty can stamp the imperial seal on it and sign your real name."
Lu Wu took out an imperial edict that was emitting a faint light. There were densely packed negative characters on the corners. On the back was a huge vortex that seemed to be able to swallow everything, and seemed to represent the will of the cycle of heaven and earth.
This is a divine edict from the underworld. It was not written by the Yin Emperor, but it was also an edict from the Yin Law Department of the underworld. The Yin Emperor is in charge of reincarnation in the world, and the Yin Law Department is the department in charge of all underworld laws. Once you sign your real name on it, you must abide by the above contract and regulations even for thousands of reincarnations.
Not to mention, if the imperial seal is stamped on it, if the above contract terms are violated, the dragon energy of the Great Zhou will collapse in an instant and enter a situation of dynasty change again.
Such a thing is definitely not something that ordinary people can get. It is also not something that an ordinary fourth-level immortal realm cultivator or an ordinary underworld god can do. The only one who can do it is Chang De, who is on duty in Yin Tianzi City and serves as the judge of the first department.
The authority of such an important god of the underworld is unimaginable and is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary gods. Not to mention that he is in the underworld and not someone that anyone can find or contact.
They didn't know how much it cost to obtain this piece of paper, just to solve the problem once and for all, and to sign a contract with the royal family of the Great Zhou that must be abided by for generations.
After Kong Huai took it, he read it carefully. The negative text on it was not difficult to understand. There were only seven lines in total, but each one struck Kong Huai's heart.
After becoming the emperor, holding great power and becoming the nominal master of Dongzhou and the Son of Heaven, Kong Huai's mentality also changed.
"What if I don't agree?"
At a glance, this warm palace suddenly became cold as ice.
"His Majesty!"
Lu Wu's voice became extremely heavy: "It is beneficial for both sides to cooperate! The Dahuan Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years before it perished, and the Dapan Dynasty perished after seven generations. Your Majesty wants to create an unparalleled dynasty, which is far beyond the power of one person."
"In today's world, demons are everywhere, noble families are everywhere, and sects and gods control the four directions. The Da Pan Dynasty perished in an instant, not at the hands of the King of Hell, but because he was no longer able to control the situation in the world."
"This document from the Yinlusi not only binds the Great Zhou royal family, but also binds us. We will also safeguard the rule of the Great Zhou royal family from generation to generation and rule the world together."
Kong Huai pondered for a long time, and finally signed his real name in Chinese characters with a brush, and then stamped the imperial seal on it.
The Yin edict instantly turned into black smoke, and millions of Yin characters exploded and gathered into a huge vortex.
The sky was full of wind and clouds, and there were lightning and thunder in the dark night. The heavy snow turned into tiny hailstones and fell down.
And finally, the myriad of dark characters followed a black opening that opened up in the ground, drilled in, and headed for the underworld.
The contract is concluded!
Lu Wu bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The next month, the end of the year.
Amid the grand sound of ritual music and chime bells, tens of thousands of soldiers from the capital stood at the foot of the imperial city, kneeling before the emperor who was wearing a purple robe with a golden dragon pattern. The three huge staircases inside and outside the palace were filled with civil and military officials, who simultaneously shouted "Long live the emperor" like a tsunami.
After praying to heaven and earth, the Left Prime Minister Gu Hong, who came from a branch of the Southern Academy School of Theorists, came forward with the Nine Dragon Imperial Seal and presented it. Only after completing this step could the Great Zhou be considered to have truly inherited the Mandate of Heaven.
As the Great Zhou Emperor Kong Huai took over the Nine-Dragon Imperial Seal, he saw nine divine dragons rushing down from the end of the sky, gathering into a five-clawed golden dragon hovering in the sky, and a dragon pillar that reached the sky and the earth rose from the imperial city.
Kong Huai, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, opened the sky and erected a golden pillar of destiny.
"May the Great Zhou Dynasty continue forever from generation to generation!"
