The 18th year of Hongchang.

One year of Yongxing.

Emperor Yongxing appointed treacherous ministers and greedy for military pay, which triggered a mutiny and besieged the imperial city.

Zhu Xian, the deposed prince who was imprisoned in the cold palace, joined forces with people of kindness and ambition to enter Shangyang Palace to meet him.

Zhang Zhengyang said earnestly: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the stability of the country, the old minister dared to ask Your Majesty to abdicate the eldest son of Zhongzong!"

Emperor Yongxing was so angry that he attacked his heart, and he was killed!

Since Emperor Yongxing only served as emperor for half a year, he ascended the throne in May and died in the twelfth lunar month, historical books call him the "half-year emperor".

So the first half of that year was the 18th year of Hongchang and the second half of that year was the 10th year of Yongxing.

After Zhao Xian ascended the throne, he announced his mercy to pardon the assassination of the Three Princes' Mansions and committed rebellion. However, the whole family of the Three Princes' Mansions was dead and could only allow the royal family to adopt it from the side branches to continue the incense.

All civil and military officials and nobles of the royal family all talk about your majesty’s kindness!

Three days after ascending the throne, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Zhao Xian announced the new year name Jinglong, and brought civil and military officials to worship the Taimiao to inform his ancestors.

at this time.

The officials of Taimiao discovered that the mountains, rivers and tripods disappeared.

The government and the country were in an uproar.

Emperor Jinglong ordered the Jinyiwei to investigate strictly, and soon learned that on the night of the rebellion, many people heard the sound of thunder.

The soldiers on duty said: I saw a large ball of purple air with my own eyes that night and flew straight to the northern border!

Only a few days after Emperor Jinglong ascended the throne, he did not dare to transfer from the Beijing camp at will. The imperial guards were finally left alone.

The Ministry of Works recast the sacrificial cauldron, with a weight of more than ten times, engraved with gold and silver threads of Fengyang Kingdom maps, and inlaid with jade jade, which is luxurious and gorgeous, far more than a hundred times higher than the mountain and river cauldron.

Emperor Jinglong was extremely satisfied and named it "Jinglong Ding".

The mountains and rivers were lost, and various rumors spread among the people. It is inevitable that Emperor Yongxing killed his younger brother. Jing Long was the same, and he finally got angry with the ancestors of Fengyang Kingdom.

Later history records: The destiny of the tripod fell into the northern border!

...

The court changes, and you finish your singing and I will appear.

All have nothing to do with the Zhouyi.

The carriage was not stopped day and night, and several horses were exhausted from the middle.

Three days later.

The first day of the Lunar New Year.

Zhou Yi had already left the capital and came to the central part of Xuanzhou.

Among the six northern prefectures, Xuanzhou does not belong to the northern border. Since the northern border is a natural dangerous snake mountain, it has been more than a hundred years without war and the city is quite prosperous.

Pengshan County.

There is a short mountain in the west of the city, named Pengshan, hence the name.

at this time.

A porridge shed was set up outside the city gate, and large undressed refugees lined up with pots and pans to receive the porridge.

Zhou Yi asked, "Brother, where was the disaster in Xuanzhou?"

"We fled from the northern border and fought again."

The old man's face was dark and his age was no longer visible. He held a baby in his arms and dripped his fingers with porridge and soup.

Zhou Yi said in confusion: "Didn't the court keep discussing peace?"

Da Yong took advantage of the change of power in Fengyang State and the morale of the northern border was declining, and he regained the lost territory in one fell swoop. After Emperor Yongxing ascended the throne, he transferred the army of prefectures from all over the country to the north to confront the Da Yong army.

Emperor Yongxing has the family fortune saved by his father. If he really fights, he may not lose to Da Yong.

Emperor Dayong was not insatiable and asked Fengyang State to cede land and pay compensation, and returned the corpses of the prince and marshal from the Taimiao.

The envoys of the two countries have been arguing for a long time and have not decided on specific regulations. Why did they fight again?

The old man shook his head and said, "How can I, the old man, know about the war?"

The younger refugee next to him said, "I heard that it was our side that a general refused to admit defeat and attacked the Da Yong army, burning down tens of thousands of people to death!"

"They're happy to kill, but we're the ones who suffer."

"You can't say that. It's still a good thing to win, but you're afraid you'll lose again!"

"Do you know who burned the Dayong Army Camp? Ergouzi, who fled back, said that he was a young general in his teens. He was said to have his surname Zhou or Zou, but he didn't hear it clearly."

"That's amazing, not worse than Duke Zhenguo."

"If Duke Zhenguo was still alive, how could those bastards of Da Yong dare to fight?"

“…”

The news that refugees know about them is mostly about dozens of moves. The truth is still to be determined, and the general direction should not be bad.

"Fengyang fought undeclaredly! Scholars became cruel, but those who served in the army were really not as good as those who served in the army..."

Zhou Yi sighed, when the great defeat and peace talks were held, who would dare to start the battle lightly if there was no central order?

In order to completely cut off Emperor Yongxing's life, Zhang Xiang did not hesitate to fight the Northern Frontier to avoid being transferred to the government army to Shenjing to protect the enemy.

"Using the arrangement of Shenjing, it is almost certain to seize the throne, so why should so many people die again?"

Zhou Yi cannot understand the ideas of big shots, so he is not a big deal after all, so he can only work hard to live his own life.

Military soldiers investigated the people entering the city, and refugees could only sleep outside the city.

Zhou Yi stuffed two taels, and the soldiers smiled and waved their hands and let them go. Sure enough, what could pass the world was not the imperial edict, but the silver.

After replenishing a few bags of rice and flour in the city, he left the city and walked towards Pengshan.

Pengshan is in Fengyang and has no nationality, no natural and dangerous passes, nor beautiful scenery.

Occasionally hunters come in and out of the mountains, and no one else disturbs them, but this is just suitable for seclusion and cultivation.

Those who live in seclusion in famous mountains are thinking of shortcuts!

I found a bear cave on the unknown mountain peak, and boiled black bear with meat porridge. My magic power cuts stones like mud, turning them into square and neat stone chambers.

There is a huge rock blocking the entrance of the cave. If someone really pried it opens it, you can know it in advance.

"Cold, silent, silent..."

Zhou Yi murmured: "Compared with living in seclusion in the world, there is no breath of fireworks, and it has a different taste."

The mountain and river tripod stood in the middle of the stone chamber. Zhou Yi followed the techniques of blood refining spirit weapons and forced drops of essence and blood out of his body, and used his magic power to immerse himself in the bronze inside.

"The first step is to refine blood. This mountain and river cauldron... is a bit big!"

Zhou Yi thought to himself that there is no other person in the world who was wasting his essence and blood like himself.

Blood-refining spirit soldiers need to use essence and blood to infiltrate all parts of the spiritual objects, and directly empty the essence and blood of hundreds of people with the volume and weight of the mountain and river cauldron.

Essence and blood are not ordinary blood, but come out of the heart, and are the essence of human qi and blood!

Zhou Yi consumes more than ten drops of essence and blood every day, and it takes more than ten days of practice to recover.

"No wonder Li Ye suggested refining the jade seal. Ordinary innate masters are unwilling to refine the mountain and river cauldron. After finally refining it, it will take a few years to survive!"

The spiritual energy in the mountains is slightly stronger than that in Shenjing.

With the bloody refining of the mountain and river cauldron, Zhou Yi practiced the Guiyuan Art and finally made a breakthrough in the third year.

The magic power penetrates the body and turns into sword energy, which is a few% solider than before, and it expands from a range of two or three zhang to five or six zhang, with a significant increase in lethality.

"This is probably the first level of Qi refining to the second level of Qi refining?"

"It's really a bit slow... But for me, as long as it can grow, it doesn't matter how fast or slow it is, safety ranks first."

Zhou Yi broke through the realm of magic power, his mood was not turbulent, and he continued to refine the mountain and river cauldron with blood.

The infiltration of essence and blood is about to be completed. The next step is to communicate with the Ding Spirit, and then refine the Ding Spirit...

The sun rises and the moon sets, and time passes by.

Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Life is old, sick, and death, and plants rise, decline, and prosperity.

Only Zhou Yi who practices in seclusion still has youth on his face, and time and time cannot leave any trace.

This day.

Zhou Yi pinched the magic tricks with his hands and shouted loudly.

"disease!"

The mountain and river tripods standing in the stone chamber flew up and swirled in the sky, quickly shrinking to the size of rice grains.

Zhou Yi opened his mouth and swallowed the small tripod into his belly, stroked his belly, and smiled.
Chapter completed!
