When it was bright, Tang Wanzhuang went to court.
There were indeed a lot of things to do these past two days, and no one had time to play. The fake had been imprisoned, and no one had decided how to deal with him. Tang Wanzhuang's own subordinates, such as Qin Dingjiang, had attacked her, and she had no time to care whether they should be punished. The new dynasty had just been established, and under such a special environment, there were too many more important things to discuss in the court, and these things were not included.
If it weren't for the fact that the evening makeup treatment couldn't wait, in fact, yesterday shouldn't have been the time outside Cao Tang's window. It would have been a hard and fast rule for the emperor and his ministers to discuss matters for the entire day.
It was hard for Zhao Changhe to imagine what emotions the king and his minister, who took turns refilling their cups at night, would feel when they met each other in the court. He always felt that their relationship had been sliding towards an extremely absurd state.
This absurd premise is that Wanzhuang is now truly serving the emperor wholeheartedly, and putting the interests of Zhao Changhe first. So in Wanzhuang's eyes, it is a good thing that you can let the new emperor serve you, and even those women of the Four Symbols Sect should be subdued.
Zhao Changhe shook his head. Everyone was busy now, and he was the one with the most free time. To put it nicely, he was in charge, but to put it bluntly, he was just an idler. There was nothing else he needed to do. It seemed that what he really needed to do was to subdue the Four Symbols Sect.
Now is also an extremely important node in the reform of the Four Symbols Sect. As Tang Wanzhuang said, everyone's goals are actually different. Now that the new dynasty has just been established, everyone needs to cooperate with the outside world, and there will not be any conflicts. But once the situation stabilizes, differences may gradually arise, and even the seeds of hostility may be buried.
The same is true for evening makeup. I will cooperate with them because they are yours. If it is the other way around, and you are theirs? Then the whole mentality is different.
The Four Symbols Sect is a demon sect. Its doctrine is to lead the Night Emperor to unify the era. Whether it is heaven or earth, it all belongs to the Night Emperor. The leader is just a spokesperson. Even if Chi Chi ascends the throne, he is only "in charge of the world", just like the ancient Azure Dragon, who is called the Human Emperor, but is still a subordinate of the Night Emperor, the Emperor of Heaven.
In a sense, Zhuque and Xuanwu's view of the world is not much different from Xia Longyuan's... Xia Longyuan sees people as NPCs, while they see everyone else, except their own believers, as untrustworthy pagans. They either believe in the religion or die, so they become a demon cult. This hat was not put on them by Xia Longyuan, but was determined by the doctrine. This has been the reputation for a long time. The eyes of the people in the world are sharp.
In the past, it didn't seem powerful enough, because it was weak, because it was suppressed by the real number one in the world, and because it was constrained by the Demon Suppression Bureau. What will happen now that there is no one to suppress it
At the ceremony yesterday, Xia Chichi announced that the Four Symbols Religion was the state religion. Obviously, they were followers of the Four Symbols Religion and everyone was prepared for such an announcement. However, when the announcement was made, everyone's faces inevitably changed slightly, and Tang Wanzhuang was no exception. It can be seen that everyone was very resistant... If this matter is not resolved, it will inevitably become a bomb for this new dynasty and will be blown to pieces sooner or later.
As for the so-called subjugation of the Four Symbols Sect… Chi Chi is not a problem. Guigui’s personality does not care much about these things. Since she accepted the Water Soul and had the concept of gods, her devotion to the Night Emperor has been questionable. So in fact, the focus of the contradiction is Zhuque alone.
Zhao Changhe was walking in the palace while thinking, and his footsteps subconsciously went to the former imperial concubine's bedroom.
Although Huangfu Qing has become the Queen Mother, she has not moved to the same palace, and still lives in the same one. Zhuque does not care about human etiquette and luxury. At this time, people are coming and going, and the complexity of controlling the affairs of the inner palace is no less than that of the court.
"Your Highness..." The palace maids saw Zhao Changhe and bowed in fear: "The Queen Mother is not here..."
"Not here? You guys are so busy, where can she go?"
The palace maids looked at each other and dared not say a word.
Zhao Changhe knocked his head and realized that Huangfu Qing must have just come here to arrange a bunch of things, and then ran out of the palace in a hurry to go to the headquarters of their Four Symbols Sect to do Suzaku's work.
It must be said that the Four Symbols Sect has been able to develop to this point and successfully take over the biggest fruit after Xia Longyuan's death. Suzaku has made great contributions. She is really one person doing the work of two people. If they were all turtles, this sect would have been gone long ago... She is the actual leader.
Since Huangfu Qing was not there, Zhao Changhe didn't know what to say to these girls. He waved goodbye and wandered around aimlessly.
As I walked, I subconsciously walked to the familiar Taimiao again, the battlefield of the previous day.
Old Xia's body has been put into a coffin and is ready for burial. No one knows where the coffin is now. There are some guards here, mainly because the bottom of the temple is a secret place created by Old Xia. That special sky is still of great research value. It corresponds to the sky above and the mountains and rivers below. At that time, Old Xia lost control of the mountains and rivers because of the backlash of his qi, which made the home advantage completely invalid. Otherwise, this thing itself should be a secret weapon of nuclear bomb level.
Besides, he has been staying here for a long time, so there should be some special collections under the platform. It is impossible that he is penniless. It is not likely that he would keep them in the inner treasury of the palace. There is no need for that. The inner treasury should contain ordinary things. The important things should be here.
Zhao Changhe thought about it and went in directly. If there was nothing else to do, cultivation was the most important thing for him to do. He hadn't even studied the page of the heavenly book given by Lao Xia. He was so busy...
The guards hesitated to speak and did not stop him.
Zhao Changhe's existence in the palace is extremely special, and no one knows how to treat him. Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with just treating him as the emperor... No one is brave enough to stop him.
They reached the platform below without any obstructions. Zhao Changhe stood on the top of the platform and looked up. The sky was still shining, but he could not tell what it was made of. It felt different from the rising and setting of the sun and moon seen by the elves, and it was also different from the "real sky" in the far east. He could not even understand the principle behind it.
But it is conceivable that since Xia Longyuan has determined that this world is a man-made small world, he must be exploring in this direction. This sky dome is an attempt to build his own world. The so-called control of his realm is achieved by controlling the world, which should not be entirely true. Controlling the world is only a step in the process, and there should be control of heaven and earth in the follow-up... Only by walking on this path can he achieve his terrifying level 2.5 of control of the realm.
Zhao Changhe suddenly jumped up and reached out to touch the sky above.
The touch was very strange, and the position where I touched was changing, as if something was flowing. The night sky was like black brocade, flowing continuously.
Wait a moment…
Zhao Changhe suddenly widened his eyes: "Xia Xia, is this Ye Liusha?"
The blind man sighed: "You should have studied this a long time ago. What have you been doing these past two days..."
