Chapter 313: The Alliance Disintegrates
First of all, the front line is in a tight war, and the rear assists the military in action, it is easy to make contributions. Sending the new Jinshi over the past can enhance the control of the Zhou Dynasty over the counties and counties, and on the other hand, it can also use this to lay nails and monitor the aristocratic families.
The court has always blessed and wary the local gentry, after all, everyone knows their fence-bearing personality.
Secondly, to train newcomers, nowadays, the world is changing, and no one knows what will happen in the future. The court is preparing for such a move in advance in case of emergencies.
Emperor Shenwu's reform has only been implemented for decades, but the thirty-six states in the world are so vast. The accumulated Jinshi officials in the past few decades are far from enough to fall into the county. Most of the Jinshi can be promoted quickly, or the political achievements are very good, which is simply in the emperor's heart.
Even if there is another Zhang Daozhi in this election, it will happen fifteen years later.

"Bang!"
"Bang!"

Against the backdrop of the slowly rising sun, the entire temple seemed to be flowing with golden light, covered with soft brilliance, sacred and solemn, which made people admire it.
The big bell rings in the temple, thick and long, and the sound is spread for dozens of miles, and can be vaguely heard even in the west of the city. The bell sounds distant and has a particularly artistic conception, as if it can purify all the troubles in the world, make people feel peaceful and free from the world.
Outside the temple, there were crowds of people and bustling.
A wall is separated by apart, like two different worlds.
The distant bells, the incense rising from birds and birds, and the lifelike Buddha statues form a beautiful picture. Every grass, tree, brick and tile here contains a solemn, sacred and solemn atmosphere.
As long as you step into this place, you can calm down without realizing it.
But everything here is new, new Buddha statues, new bell towers, and new temples. In just three days, the court established a temple for Pudu Cihang. This temple is called the National Master Temple, which enshrines Su Ming’s golden Buddha statue.
Although it was a new temple, the threshold was almost broken on the first day of opening the door. There were so many believers coming to burn incense. Fortunately, the court established four national teacher temples in the imperial capital to divert the pilgrims.
The four national teacher temples in the southeast, west and northeast are each covering an area of more than ten acres. They are built at an atmosphere and magnificent. They are specially run by the Xuanjing Department. The money and merits obtained are transferred to the emperor's inner treasury, which is too large to cover the money. Even the Xuanjing Department dare not take over. Only the emperor can obtain it. The imperial court does not dare to subdue it into the national treasury. If it is spread, it will damage the national system.
After the temple was established, the people no longer gathered to pray under the withered statues, and came to the temple to eat incense. Moreover, the incense and oil here is very cheap, and only a penny is basically a cost. No one dared to interfere in these matters, which ruined the national reputation.
After the establishment of the four national master temples, the Yuanshen monk took action to connect them with the legal net in the imperial capital. The continuous power of incense and faith was connected to the legal net, which brought the strength of the legal net to a higher level, because although Su Ming had many thoughts before, he did not build a temple, so believers could not concentrate, so the power of faith was naturally not that strong.
However, after the temple was established, the incense beliefs of gods of all sizes in the imperial capital were greatly enriched. However, they rushed over and were granted by the imperial court, and life and death were under the control of the court. They did not even dare to arise about resentment and jealousy. After all, the legal reliance on them in the court's current situation has been greatly reduced.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Garden.
The lake water is rippling with green lotus leaves, like a lid, a small boat wanders among the lotus leaves, floating with the waves.
Although the scenery is there, people don’t return.
Li Wan'er sat on the boat with her knees in her arms. She was wearing a big red palace skirt. Her white and delicate skin formed a sharp contrast with her bright skirt, making her look even more distinctive and dazzling.
At this moment, she stared at the lake in a daze, her clear eyes were a little stunned. These days, every time she handled government affairs, she would come to the Imperial Garden to raft. The scenes of the past appeared in her mind, but people were no longer there.
She knew that he was not dead, but no one could find his trace now. After receiving the news, Li Wan'er quickly sent two souls to Yongzhou to explore his traces, trying to find him out.
However, it has been so long since there is still no news.
"Where are you?" The girl looked at the lake, feeling sad and uneasy.
······
"kill!"
In the land of Bazhou, there were wars that spread across the sky. The Great Zhou and the Xuanyi Army fought several times, siegeing cities and camps. In each battle, countless soldiers died on the battlefield.
This war gradually turned into a meat grinder, consuming a lot of resources. The Great Zhou had thirty states in the world as support, with a strong foundation, and the Xuanyi Army was even more afraid of consumption with the support of the Demon Cult.
The generals of the court were not arrogant or impatient in the battle, and took every step forward, and suppressed people with a grand and upright momentum. The Xuanyi Army was supported by the Demon Sect and did not lose the least in the battle.
With the war between the two sides, various means emerged one after another. The Xuanjing Si secret guards also fought with the Dragon Clan's naval army several times, steadily suppressing the opposite side, making the Great Zhou naval army unobstructed on the river.
However, this battle is destined to be fought for a long time. Even if the Demon Cult supports the Xuanyi Army, it will take a long time for them to convert resources into strength.
The Demon Sect let their vassal sects and aristocratic families launch rebellions in various places to attract the attention of the court, distract their energy, and buy time for the south.
Now, although the situation in the Demon Cult has been very good after entering the game, all this is based on the fact that Taoist and Buddhist sects have not entered the game. Now they are suppressed in the five southern states and cannot expand their territory and advantages.
Now, the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism are still watching. Once time goes by, if the other two sects are moved, all the previous investments of the Demon Sect will be wasted and will be the pioneer of the king.
So, they are actually the ones who lack the most time.

East China Sea.
Deep in the East China Sea, the Dragon Palace.
Outside the Dragon Palace, there are jade stews, long-winged water-slides, strange fish square eyes, the big ones are like mountain tombs, the small ones are heavy Jun stones, the Benjiao big shells, the bright moon and the night light, the tortoise turtle, and the gold black seal.
Going further forward, there are hundreds of palaces, with winding coral trees in front of them, hanging on them with pearls, jade, agate, jade, etc., with halos and flowing colors and shining brightly.
Thousands of green jade steps winding up, with jade-like railings on both sides, and sea beasts withered in various shapes, with red light rising on them, and misty smoke.
After walking through the steps, I was facing the magnificent red gate tower, with golden nails and red paint, pearls inlaid, engraved with dragons and phoenixes flying clouds, covered with blue glazed tiles, curved rulers and red railings and colorful sills. When the skylight shines, the clear light flows, and the fairy sounds and birds are endless.
In the hall, white jade is spreading on the ground, glass is bright, and thousands of lotus lanterns are hanging high in the dome, circulating like stars, sprinkling clear light, illuminating the hall as daytime.
The throne on the central high platform celebrates the gathering of clouds, and the green air is filled with mist. The thin orchestral sounds appear and the light and shadows float, and the faint fragrance fills.
The Dragon Lord of the East Sea sat upright on the throne, with a high crown and a garment, with a mysterious top and a red bottom, and a coat of arms painted. However, the crown and tars were hung down, and the face was not clearly visible. Only the momentum was as imposing as the abyss and the sea, unpredictable.
Beside him, there was a woman with tall hair, tucked in the palace skirt, thin eyebrows and long eyes, delicate skin as jade, and no trace of time. While charming, she was full of grace and luxury.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was low, with a storm coming, and six figures with a weak aura stood in the hall, with bitterness and anxiety.
The Dragon Lord of the East Sea sat upright on his head, and even through the crown, he could feel the anger contained in his eyes. At this moment, Mrs. Long Lord spoke, "Your Majesty, I have not done my best to do my best in this failure, so I can't blame them." The gentle and gentle voice made Long Lord's spiritual platform clear, and the anger in his heart also dissipated a lot.
"My desperate person, why should you plead for them?" Although the anger dissipated, Long Jun was still angry. He really couldn't imagine that such a luxurious lineup could make them lose.
Seeing Mrs. Longjun pleading for mercy, the six souls and true dragons in the hall were begging for mercy, "Your Majesty, it's not that we are incompetent. It's because the Great Zhou National Master is too powerful, beyond our ability."
When he thought of Pudu Cihang, the Dragon Lord of the East China Sea did not fight. He worked hard and even did not hesitate to cooperate with the Demon Cult. Unexpectedly, this would be the result.
At the bank of the East China Sea, Pudu Cihang used the water of the East China Sea to travel and rain. He suffered a great loss under Pudu Cihang. For this reason, when Mo Lihai came to him, he easily formed an alliance with him.
Now the dragon clan has occupied the large and large water systems of the five southern prefectures. The water gods enfeoffed by the Great Zhou court were slaughtered by the dragon clan, which was considered a fierce sigh of relief.
Later, Mo Lihai borrowed someone from him and set up a killing plan against Pudu Cihang, in order to use his head to shock the Great Zhou, and at the same time, he caused trouble to Yongzhou and opened the door to the five southern states.
By then, their dragon clan can also benefit from it. This was a good thing that won one stone, but unfortunately he bumped into a killing god like Pudu Cihang.
The plan was still in the womb in the first step of implementation. They did not expect that Pudu Cihang would hide so deeply. He killed the demon clan with just one sword. He survived under the siege of more than ten soul cultivators and a congenital spiritual treasure. If he hadn't sealed the spiritual treasure with himself, the current situation would have been worse.
In fact, when he killed millions of demon soldiers with one sword, Su Ming had already thought of a way out. Even if Mo Lihai's people didn't cause trouble for him, he would take the initiative to cause trouble for Mo Lihai.
But he didn't expect that Mo Lihai's move was so fast and he even set up such a big situation. So Su Ming followed the flow and disappeared quickly after demonstrating his powerful force. In that case, he had to disappear. He had already revealed his trump card. Even if he made great contributions in this battle and returned to the court, all officials would be vigilant and secretly resisted him to take over power.
After all, his combat power was too strong. Wan had a strange mind. The court had no way to restrain him unless they led the wolf into the house and let the people from the three major sects deal with him.
In order not to make himself lose, Su Ming disappeared from the sight of all forces. Anyway, he could untie the seal of the Yin-Yang millstone at any time.
Now, Su Ming is comprehending the mystery of the origin of Yin and Yang, and is still constantly erasing the imprint of the Demon Sect with his own power. Perhaps when he reappears in front of the world, this innate spiritual treasure may no longer belong to the Demon Sect for a long time.
For Su Ming, this is just like being in seclusion. Now that he has made all his tricks, he must accumulate other trump cards. Understanding the Origin Dao can help him improve his realm and increase his foundation faster.
When he leaves the seclusion, it will surely be a rock that will shock the world and stir up the general trend of the world.
At this moment, when he heard their words, the Dragon Lord of the East Sea couldn't help but remain silent. He had to admit that what they said was the truth, and it was even a blessing for them to escape by chance. What else could he force?
The only regret is that I failed to completely kill Pudu Cihang and get rid of this trouble.
"What you said is the most true thing, I just lost my voice."
"Your Majesty is so serious. It is our duty to share your worries." The six of them dared not say anything else, so they quickly gave a step.
The Dragon Lord of the East Sea looked a little nervous, and his voice eased, "You can save yourself in the war and preserve your strength for the Dragon Clan, so I will naturally give you no stingy rewards. You can go down and heal your wounds first."
"Thank you, Longjun!" The six people hurriedly saluted and then stepped down.
"Oh, it's a turbulent time." After they left, Long Jun sighed for no reason.
"Your Majesty, are you thinking about how we should do things in the future?" Mrs. Longjun heard what her husband meant and asked softly.
"Madam is really Lan Xinhuizhi, and I am deeply attracted by my heart." Longjun held his wife in his arms and continued, "Now, the Demon Cult is confronting the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there is no chance of winning or losing in a short period of time."
"Before, the demon clan lost millions of demon soldiers and eleven soul demons. In order to preserve its strength, it is definitely not daring to participate in the battle again if the other two sects do not anger."
"The previous promise of the Demon Sect was just to tie us up on their chariots. At that time, we can combine the power of the three families, and even if the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism put pressure on them, they will not be able to do anything."
"But now, the so-called alliance has been destroyed. Since the demon clan has escaped, he will definitely not enter again. The demon clan is in a disadvantage, so he dare not force it. On the contrary, my dragon clan is a bit difficult to get on the tiger." In his words, he actually had the plan to escape from the demon clan alliance.
"Husband doesn't want to cooperate with the people from the Demon Sect?" Mrs. Long asked softly with a smile.
"Well, although we are in alliance with the Demon Cult now, the previous cooperation conditions have been fully met, and even if we breach the contract, we will not be backfired."
"The war is stalemate. My dragon clan has occupied the water system of the five southern states, and my subordinates have a place to survive. If you go further, you will step into the Central Plains and will completely compete with the Great Zhou. It will be difficult to leave at that time."
"Besides, the people of the Demon Cult may not be kind. If this continues, they will inevitably drag us into the water. The water system in the Central Plains is not so good. Even when my dragon clan is in full swing, it is impossible to take it down, let alone now."
