"Since the advent of the Holy King Yu of Xia, the civilization of Tianxia has been spread to this day. Today, hundreds of millions of people have experienced the suffering of their ancestors and have not found peace..."

"I have been recognized by the princes in the north and respected by eight million people in Dingzhou. Today I am proclaimed a duke, upgraded to the Principality of Daxia, and rebuilt as the capital of Dingzhou! I am willing to imitate the Holy King, calm the troubled times, appease the common people, and recreate the prosperous age of Tianxia.

!On the 30th day of the ninth month in the fourth year of Tongzhi, we offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth in the southern suburbs of the capital, where Duke Xia was seated."

There was silence in the southern suburbs. Only the sound of sacrificial chanting could be heard throughout the countryside. Everyone looked solemnly and looked up at Zhou Bai on the high platform with respect.

After the reincarnation of countless dynasties in the Middle Ages, class solidification was serious, and in modern times there were few people who really succeeded in doing things recklessly.

Zhou Bai, who was born in the Xiang clan, is considered to have the lowest starting point among the princes in the world, but now he is a being that most princes fear.

From the first September of the 47th year of Xiangxing's founding, it only took five years to reach Hongni Township, Pingcang County, Bei'an County, and finally the entire Dingzhou today.

There are only forty-eight states in the vast Central Plains, and Zhou Bai has occupied one of them. Whoever sees this experience would not praise him as a hero.

A stack of vassal documents were burned together with the sacrificial manuscripts, the incense was lingering, and the smoke was floating into the sky as usual.

The people of Great Xia, civil and military officials, soldiers of the three armies, and finally even the envoys from other countries who were watching the ceremony also began to shout for the Duke of Xia.

When you become a prince, you are already considered a great country and can be called the backbone of all nations.

When the princes go one step further, they become the overlord of the princes, who is called the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke cannot do this other than to subdue the surrounding princes, so he will receive more courtesy and respect from other countries.

"Xia Gong!"

The cry shook the sky, and Dingzhou's luck gathered in the sky, like the rolling waves, excited and restless.

But until a stick of incense burns out, the surroundings of Qionglu remain calm, and no strange sights can be seen, this means that there is no response from heaven.

At this time, some gentry and common people had begun to have doubts and panic.

"Hey, why hasn't there been any movement? This is the Duke's Festival."

"Why doesn't Heaven respond? Could it be that it doesn't recognize Duke Xia?"

"Why are you so anxious! Our Lord, of course, has destiny, otherwise why could he unify the state in just five years?"

"I am ashamed to associate with you. Could it be that if the Heavenly Court does not respond, you will not recognize the Duke of Xia? Only we Xia people know whether the monarch is wise or not!"

Seeing the argument gradually emerging, Zhou Bai shook his head and sent orders to Li Yuan who was waiting outside.

The familiar glow of the sky appeared leisurely, the shadow of the dragon crossed the sky, and the roar of the dragon came from the colorful auspicious clouds...

The rich purple energy lingered around Zhou Bai's body, and everyone onlookers marveled, this is not the destiny of the king, the orthodox can no longer be the orthodox destiny of the king.

Ahem, since heaven and earth are separated, heaven will naturally not spend too much money to respond to this unscrupulous king.

This is the artificial vision used by Lu Ding. Of course, it is also the default method of all countries now. If the people want to see it, just let them see it.

Moreover, Daxia has a lot of resources at its disposal. With the cooperation of several real people, ordinary low-level monks can't figure it out.

However, this also made Zhou Bai more determined. He wanted to unify his ideological understanding across the country. At least in the future, if he faced the Heavenly Court, the army must dare to take action, and the majority of the subjects must remain loyal to the monarch.

The ceremony of proclaiming the duke and offering sacrifices to heaven was over, followed by the first great court meeting of the Principality of Daxia.

After taking possession of Dingzhou City for more than a year, the majestic palace city has been basically built, and there are no longer just two or three scattered palaces inside.

There are many palaces and pavilions, and the atmosphere is magnificent. It is not called a dragon tower and a phoenix palace, but at least it is a miniature version of the Daming Palace in Zhou Bai's mind.

According to the ritual system, it can be divided into the Hanyuan Hall of the outer dynasty, the Xuanzheng Hall of the middle dynasty, the Zichen Hall of the inner dynasty, and the expanded Zhongji Hall of the Hanyuan Hall, which is very spacious.

For the first time since Zhou Bai opened his palace and even founded the country, all civil and military officials qualified to go to court were accommodated in one hall.

Sitting on the dragon chair, observing the weather, I saw only a cloud of blue and purple, and the hall was full of yellow.

Wherever you look, your life will be upright and full of auspiciousness.

If the luck of a state is added to a dynasty, even a principality will not lack external transportation supplies.

When Zhou Bai was in Boguo, he established a meticulous and detailed system with six cabinets, six departments, and five temples.

Every moment, we can see that there is excess luck in the system, and the laws of the French Open are getting stronger and stronger day by day.

With every move he made, Zhou Baidu seemed to be able to summon overwhelming power. The personality of this overlord of the princes and the blessing of the country's destiny were truly abundant.

The heavenly book of destiny reflects on one's own body, and one's destiny is aloof and arrogant. When it wavers, it always attracts the orders of hundreds of officials to surrender, making one look like a king.

There is no dissatisfied person, all fortunes are directed towards him, the people in the court are upright, and the wise king is in charge.

After being proclaimed the duke and ascending the throne, he became the monarch of eight million people in Dingzhou. His luck benefited and his destiny completely transformed.

The last few rays of green completely faded away, leaving only pure lavender, surrounded by dragons and tigers, the standard destiny of the king.

[Luck: the overlord of the princes, the destiny of the king]

Overlord of the princes: If you occupy Dingzhou, subdue the princes in the north, and claim the title of duke, you can become the overlord. When you conquer countries under the status of duchy, you will be suppressed by luck and the winning rate of the war will increase.

The king's destiny: Your destiny is filled with Qianlong purple energy, which is the orthodox king's destiny. All evils will be avoided, and all officials and subjects will naturally believe in you. When you become king, you will not have to worry about being virtuous and unworthy of the throne.

[Origin points: one hundred] (You unify the state, establish the Principality of Daxia, and become famous all over the world. All the princes and dragons regard you as their enemy. The source points will be increased by 400. The fish and dragon will become smaller and raised to Dacheng. The origin points will be reduced.

Four hundred.)

The fish and dragon become more successful: the efficiency of the luck dragon and elephant in devouring luck is greatly increased, 50% of the battle results can be digested, and the dispersion of the previous luck is greatly reduced.

Just when he was checking the Book of Fortune, the eunuch who delivered the edict was already reading out the edict. According to Zhou Bai's practice, if he was promoted, his officials would follow suit.

"The promotion of Daxia, the whole country celebrates... You and others fight hard on the battlefield, they are loyal and fierce, and use soldiers like gods... Carrying out the wishes of heaven, bringing blessings to the four seas, the prosperity of the world will last forever... The country of Daxia depends on you and others for the prosperity of our principality.

.

Look forward to the great ambitions and obey the destiny. You and others should be pragmatic and honor your honor... Daxia is not just about establishing Dingzhou, it wants to become a prosperous age. It can happen overnight. I am extremely grateful. I should increase the rewards and promote them.

Knighted. After being demoted from the Sixth Department of the Cabinet, he was promoted to the first rank, and the officers and soldiers were also promoted to official ranks... Chen Zhongbang was promoted to..."

The cabinet and the six ministries were all upgraded to the first rank as usual, and there were a lot more high-ranking officials in purple robes and scarlet robes in an instant.

What is special is that a group of young civil and military officers were promoted. Military generals such as Huo Feiguang, Zhou Ping, and Huang Jingtong were all given serious general positions.

The civil servants are those who have performed outstandingly at the grassroots level in Dingxi in the past six months in terms of war logistics, caring for the people, and providing relief.

There were twenty-three people named in the imperial edict, which meant that twenty-three county officials were promoted from twenty-three township offices. Most of them were candidates for the first session of the imperial examination.

Seeing the depletion of luck, the overall law was even more majestic. Zhou Bai observed it carefully from the law net and felt that it was running more smoothly.

When the people below were promoted, Zhou Bai would certainly not forget the senior ministers, viscounts, barons, and national scholars who were in charge of the overall situation, and a large number of them were promoted to new titles.

However, those who are earl and above are very strict in their control, not only because their status is too high, but also because they are afraid that they will not be able to be sealed in the future.

Don't call yourself a king or an uncle, don't call yourself an emperor and don't make a marquis. This is Zhou Bai's principle. Otherwise, the excessive granting of titles will only do a lot of harm to the country but not a single benefit.

When the reward is over, a lot of luck is consumed, and the twenty-foot towering sky pillar can come to a standstill, increasing instead of decreasing.

This is how fame and fortune touch people's hearts. A big reward stimulates the motivation of officials at all levels. They are politically clear and work together to achieve the same goal.

Everyone is trying their best to do their job well, looking forward to the next expansion, and then receiving rewards for their contributions.

They knew that if they followed Zhou Bai and rode the flying dragon of Daxia, even if they could not be famous forever, they would still be able to drink soup with the wind.

…

The festival and court are over, but something more important has just begun.

Cast the Dingzhou Ding! Cast the Dingzhou Ding to suppress Dingzhou’s luck!

The idea of ​​using the tripod to suppress luck can be traced back to the founding of the Xia Dynasty by Emperor Yu of the ancient Xia Dynasty. At that time, there were only nine states in the Central Plains in the world.

When the dynasty was first established, everything was ready to be revitalized, and people's minds were set.

However, the local political power was controlled by powerful families, fortunes were dispersed, and the people knew the gentry and landlords but did not know the imperial power and official laws.

So Xia Yu thought of collecting and transporting goods. He ordered the pastoral guards of Jiuzhou to pay tribute in bronze.

At that time, copper mines were hard to find, copper utensils were extremely noble, and the shepherds and tribute coppers required the concerted efforts of the people of the state.

The copper finally obtained will contain the wishes of the people of the state and the unique destiny of a state.

The Jiuding was cast from the copper donated by Jiu Mu in the world, and the famous mountains, rivers, and strange objects of Kyushu were engraved on the body of the Jiuding to symbolize Kyushu. This was the picture of Kyushu recorded in the Jiuding.

The Jiuding was built and stored in the capital of Xia, symbolizing the return of the Nine Provinces to the Xia Dynasty and the gathering of the fortune of the Nine Provinces in the hands of the Emperor of Xia.

According to some secret rumors, the Human Emperor's power reached its peak after the gathering of Zhuding.

In the era of the Human Emperor, the Nine Tripods were passed down from generation to generation, and the one who obtained the Nine Tripods would be the orthodox.

Jiuding disappeared mysteriously, and it was just announced that the human emperor had come to an end and the emperor's era had entered.

However, the importance of ruling the world has been passed down.

There are even regulations on the number of uses such as "nine tripods for the emperor, seven tripods for the princes, five tripods for the ministers, and three tripods for the Yuanshi". With the gradual evolution of this symbol of rank, identity, and status, the tripod gradually became a symbol of royal power and the country.

of great treasure.

The founder of a country often used the power of the entire country to build a large cauldron.

More and more newly-opened states were opened, and state tripods were cast one after another. Logically speaking, the power of the ruler should be greatly increased, but the ruler of the dynasty was determined to surrender to the heaven.

However, it may be that the Nine Cauldrons were lost, and the latecomers were unable to build the cauldrons in the right way, which resulted in the emperor being far less powerful than the emperor.

Of course, one tripod constitutes a state, embodies the beauty of mountains and rivers, and the great fortune of all people's lives. Even ordinary gods and gods cannot bear the power of one tripod.

Even in the history of humanity, a few heroic leaders who dared to aspire to greatness met a good end.
To be continued...
