On the occasion of the New Year, Zhao Cheng also showed up. First, he convened a court meeting with hundreds of officials, both civil and military, as a sort of annual summary.
Afterwards, a New Year's banquet was held and hundreds of officials were entertained.
At the same time, he also wrote an imperial edict to pay his respects to the Supreme Emperor, who was retiring in the Southern Wilderness far away, and to allow him to retire in the Southern Wilderness with peace of mind.
He wrote this decree because he had been in seclusion for a long time and had been letting Zhao Xiang, the eldest princess, supervise the country, which made some people think.
As for the Emperor's sons, the eldest one is now seven years old.
Nowadays, although the Daxin promotes equality between men and women, the shackles of thought cannot be broken instantly.
Therefore, Zhao Xiang's supervision of the country caused some people to have illusions in their lives.
Indeed, the lowest lifespan of a Jinxian is a thousand years, and Zhao Cheng's lifespan is definitely more than a thousand years after establishing a country. However, Zhao Cheng's frequent seclusion and neglect of state affairs have led some people to speculate that perhaps there is something wrong with Zhao Cheng.
The road to the Tao Kingdom has always been just a legend. Maybe a certain one, Zhao Cheng, suddenly died suddenly.
And if he died suddenly, it would undoubtedly be an opportunity.
If he were far away in the Southern Wilderness and Zhao Xiang was in the court, it would be difficult to do anything. But if the Supreme Emperor and his children were in the divine capital, things would be very promising.
Even Zhao's father believed that a woman was not qualified to rule a country, which is why Zhao Xiang thought that his father was old and confused.
But this is normal. Zhao's father used to be just a blacksmith, but now he is just a father based on his son. He has no awareness at all. In addition, there are people around him who talk about it. As time goes by, it is inevitable that some inappropriate feelings will subtly develop.
Thoughts come.
Just a few days ago, there was even a rumor in Southern Wilderness, saying that the Supreme Emperor missed his emperor to the point that he became ill with longing for him, but the eldest princess was like Si Chen, unkind and unfilial, and would not allow the Supreme Emperor to see him.
There is even a theory that the eldest princess imprisoned the emperor.
Even though Zhao Cheng killed countless people along the way and tried his best to break up the big families, but as time passed, some signs began to appear again.
Regarding this matter, although the imperial court arrested and killed a group of people, some rumors could not be stopped, so Zhao Cheng simply wrote an imperial edict to end the matter.
Youdao is that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, and it will only be even more difficult for the royal family. This is why some people want to start with the Supreme Emperor and use it to negotiate a country.
Furthermore, with all those beauties, who wouldn’t want his son to have the chance to become the emperor?!
Therefore, Zhao Cheng simply used a decree to temporarily put an end to some people's unwarranted delusions.
Of course, Zhao Cheng also knew that as long as he did not come to court for a day, and as long as the Supreme Emperor was still alive, it would be impossible to completely put an end to those delusions.
However, it didn't matter to him. He dealt with this matter just because he didn't want to cause too much trouble with Zhao's father one day.
And after such a shocking appearance, he went into seclusion again.
After all, human mental power is limited, and all his thoughts now are focused on how to refine the earth with humans, and then use the Tao and Fruit of humans and the Tao and Fruit of earth to in turn refine the Tao of Heaven, thus achieving the triple Tao and Fruit of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
The unity of Tao creates the country of Tao.
This is undoubtedly a counter-refinement!
After all, it is the right way to let man become the heaven and refining the earth.
But now, there is something wrong with the void that represents the sky.
If you really achieve the way of heaven first, it will be the road to death.
It's just that the earth is so thick, there are countless difficulties in trying to refine the earth with human methods alone.
However, no matter how difficult it was, Zhao Cheng had no way out.
At this point, even if he tries to delay the founding of the Tao Kingdom, as time goes by, even if he does not sacrifice to heaven and earth, the Tao Kingdom will naturally improve, or it may take ten or twenty years, without the need for sacrifices.
The Tao Kingdom was naturally achieved.
As for destroying his own foundation and allowing himself to destroy the country, it will only lead to faster destruction.
His current triple Dao Fruit is using his human nature to fight against the Heavenly Dao, and to fight against the demonic stain of the void. The stronger his empire is, the more time he can delay. Once the empire collapses and loses the support of the power of humanity, it will be over in an instant.
In the meantime, he will be assimilated by the Void Demon and turn into a real demon to destroy the world.
And because he lacks the support of the power of heaven, he wants to use the human way to refine the earth, but he cannot follow the orthodox path of proving the way through strength. He can only constantly understand the mystery of the human way and the earth, and look for it.
The matching point, and abandoning the interference of one's own heavenly path, path, and fruit, allows the human being to deeply align with the path of the earth, only in this way can success be achieved.
This is destined to be a long and difficult process.
However, Zhao Cheng was not in a hurry.
The majestic pass and the long road are really like iron. How can there be any great achievements in this world that can be easily accomplished?!
It's all about moving forward.
In the midst of hardships, search for and grasp the glimmer of hope that exists.
Moreover, the current situation is much better than the situation when he just woke up from the memory of his previous life, and when he woke up from the dream, he was defeated and exhausted.
…
Beiyuan, Beihuangji.
It is said to be the Northern Plains here, but it actually goes deep into the grassland boundary.
At the gate of Lianshanji, there is a Jingguan with human heads piled up. These heads have been treated with antiseptic treatment to ensure that they will not deteriorate for decades.
The reason for this is naturally to shock.
These barbarians in the Khanate forget their pain very quickly. Otherwise, I am afraid that in five or ten years, someone will have some thoughts again.
Only by constantly suppressing these races, making them frightened and fearful, will the other side not dare to offend.
Therefore, not only at the gate of Jingguan, but also at the gate of Beihuangji, there is a big stone with ten iron rules written on it in Khan and the language of China. The first of them is that if the trade route is cut off,
, the grassland nobles are all dead, the northern wilderness is destroyed, and the grassland is empty.
This article is naturally not a decoration. The grassland that has just experienced the war will never doubt Daxin's determination and strength.
If Daxin didn't have this kind of power, there might be people who would dare to try it themselves, but after seeing Daxin's cavalry, no one doubted that Daxin couldn't do it.
With ability and determination, the world will naturally be at peace.
The once unruly barbarians no longer dared to attack Daxin's caravan.
As for the bandits within China, when the country was first founded, there were indeed sporadic cases of occupying mountains and becoming kings.
But now, they have all been wiped out. With the combined efforts of the regular army and militia, nothing can be wiped out. It all depends on the determination of the court.
What's more important is that now the imperial court is determined to trade. If there is a problem with the caravan somewhere, the entire local officials will be held accountable.
The imperial official reserve system still exists today.
Even if all the officials of an entire state were replaced in one day, there would not be any big problems in the local area.
Under this situation, as early as two months ago, the first batch of caravans had arrived at Beihuangji and started trading.
They exchanged salt, ironware, and clothing for a large number of cattle and sheep.
Because the imperial court was doing business, salt and ironware were all at cost price, so the gross profit was a hundred times. Even if transportation and manpower were taken away, the profit would be seventy times!
