Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 149: The Troubles of the Yu Dynasty
When the Dayu Dynasty was founded, Emperor Tianwu was able to conquer nearly half of Shuiyun Continent with the help of the Yao Clan.
Among them, there were nine great demons who had killed immortal figures and were named demon kings by Emperor Tianwu. Nine areas were specially divided from the dynasty's territory as their fiefdoms.
These places are collectively called the Demon Realm, where nearly 70% of the demon clan in the Dayu Dynasty gathers together, as well as a large number of demon beasts.
Nowadays, in Guanxia City, there are blood descendants of two demon kings. They have high status in the two demon realms and are equivalent to the direct descendants of the princes in the human race.
"One is called Feng Mian, who comes from the Split Wind Demon Realm, and the other is named Wan Hu, who comes from the Scarlet Flame Demon Realm."
Xu Lin said with an ugly expression.
Although these two demon clans are only the bloodline of the demon king for more than ten generations, their status is still very noble, and they act arrogantly and domineeringly, and do not take the laws of the dynasty into consideration at all.
Wherever it went in the past, it killed many human monks, and even harmed innocent people many times, causing hundreds of deaths.
"I thought Mingjiansi's knife would be sharper for this kind of beast."
Ji Yuan spoke calmly, but the calmer his expression became, the more ugly the other party's expression became.
After a long time, Xu Lin sighed: "If we put it in the founding of the country... no, even tens or hundreds of years ago, let alone the bloodline of more than ten generations later, even if it is the biological son of the Demon King, I, Mingjian Division,
It’s not like I haven’t killed him before.”
"As long as you dare to violate the laws of the imperial court and bring harm to innocent people, Mingjiansi's sword will never hesitate."
"But a few decades ago, a lot of things were a little different."
The Dayu Dynasty was founded more than 700 years ago. Including the past years, Emperor Tianwu was already over 800 years old.
According to common sense, it would not be a problem for His Majesty the Emperor to live to be a thousand years old. In addition, with the efforts of the whole country to find life-enhancing spiritual objects, he would still be able to live another two to three hundred years.
However, decades of war had already seriously damaged Emperor Tianwu's body. Even the foundation of the great avenue had almost collapsed many times, which also led to a serious loss of longevity.
Even with countless longevity-enhancing spiritual objects, the emperor would not live to be nine hundred years old. If he could not break through the last step and become an immortal, his energy and blood would decline, and his body and soul would dissipate between heaven and earth.
Seventy or eighty years ago, it was Emperor Tianwu's last chance. Unfortunately, despite the efforts of the whole country, he was unable to take the last step, and there will be no hope of breakthrough in this life.
Now that decades have passed by so quickly, no one knows how much life Emperor Tianwu has left, and when he will suddenly leave Hexi.
It is precisely because of this that everything in the Dayu Dynasty remains the same on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent, and all forces are ready to move, wanting to support their favorite princes to ascend the dragon throne that symbolizes the authority of the emperor.
"Now that Emperor Tianwu is approaching his end of life, and he has not yet appointed a prince to inherit the throne, no one knows what the future will be like, but a turmoil that affects the nine prefectures and thirty-six counties is unavoidable.
of."
Xu Lin sighed, if this were not the case, how could a mere demon king whose bloodline was more than ten generations back dare to act arrogantly within the borders of the human race?
If he hadn't been worried about the possibility of a war between humans and monsters at such a critical moment, Mingjian Division would have cut off his head long ago and hung it high on the city gate.
After Ji Yuan heard this, his expression couldn't help but he suddenly remembered what the possessed magistrate Yuan Yongcheng said to them that day in Qianyu City.
The other party said at that time that the Dayu Dynasty was about to usher in turmoil, and it would be difficult to even protect itself. It was a good time to rise up and build a territory of our own.
At first, he thought that the other party was talking nonsense, that his mind was confused by the demonic energy, or that he was bewitching everyone, but he did not expect that this was actually true. _o_m
According to what Xu Lin said at this moment, no matter whether Emperor Tianwu finally appoints a successor to the throne, once his life span is exhausted, there will inevitably be a turmoil in the dynasty.
For the royal family or the sect, although there is a ritual system, it is not like the eldest son, eldest grandson, or the person determined by the elders to inherit the family business like in the ordinary family.
In this world where demons and monsters run rampant, in addition to having an orthodox background, the most important thing for an heir is to be strong enough to stand alone.
Otherwise, there will be internal and external worries. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 149 The Troubles of the Dayu Dynasty
If the trouble cannot be suppressed, how can we secure the supreme position?
If one's own strength is not strong enough and there is no powerful force behind him to back him up, even if he ascends to the throne, even an imperial edict may not be able to penetrate the huge palace.
Even if it is successfully sent out in the end, no one will really take it seriously.
"Among Emperor Tianwu's descendants, there isn't even one who can stand alone, right?"
Ji Yuan thought for a while, then frowned and asked.
Hearing this, Xu Lin smiled helplessly. Among all the princes today, it is not that there are no outstanding ones. On the contrary, there are too many with extraordinary talents.
This also resulted in many princes being dissatisfied with each other. No matter who Emperor Tianwu finally decided to inherit the throne, the other princes would eventually take action, and they would never accept their fate.
Even Emperor Tianwu's brothers, whether they are princes, surnamed kings, or relatives of the queen, are likely to have some thoughts.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. According to this view, once Emperor Tianwu's life span is exhausted, the world will probably be in chaos, and war will be everywhere.
"Fortunately, our Lingyang Mansion is located on the border of the dynasty's territory, so those things should not be affected here."
Xu Lin shook his head and stopped talking. Instead, he lowered his head and drank.
He has said too much today, and some of the things he said are not something that his current status allows him to talk to outsiders at will.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the words spoken in the restaurant today were spread, if someone had evil intentions, I am afraid it would attract the attention of a supervisory agency of the imperial court.
Even if he has the protection of the boss, he will at least lose some skin because of this.
More than half an hour later, the three of them walked out of the restaurant. Under the gazes of Ji Yuan and Xia Dong, Xu Lin, smelling of alcohol, staggered towards Mingjian Division.
After the other party's figure disappeared inside the gate of Mingjian Department, the two of them left in a carriage.
"Sir, where should we go next?"
In the carriage, Xia Dong asked softly. She could see that the person in front of her was in a low mood at the moment.
Ji Yuan thought for a while and then said: "Let's go to the square area of Haohan Tower."
Originally, his plan was to go to crowded places as little as possible for fear of being contaminated by something. But now that he learned about the current situation of the Dayu Dynasty from Xu Lin's mouth, his thoughts changed a little.
No one knows when the turmoil will break out, but before that, it is better to improve your cultivation as much as possible so that you can be more sure of transcendence in the future.
Otherwise, once passively and randomly involved, even the monks of the Third Realm may not be able to say that they can protect themselves, let alone their relatives and friends around them.
"I hope our emperor can live for tens or hundreds of years longer."
He looked at the scenery passing quickly outside the window and suddenly murmured to himself.
This was the first time that he hoped that people other than his master could live safely and smoothly for a few more years.
After hearing this, Xia Dong couldn't help but fall into silence. She didn't hope that Emperor Tianwu, who had been a legend all his life, could create miracles again.
Otherwise, if there is turmoil and chaos, even if Lingyang Mansion is located on the border of the imperial court, it will still be involved in the chaos.
From the nobles to the common people, even to the otherworldly practitioners, no one will be unaffected unless they leave this dynasty.
Full of thoughts, the two of them rode a carriage and arrived at the square area of Haohan Tower.
For ordinary chambers of commerce or forces, it is already considered very good if they can own a city in a place like a county.
But Haohanlou did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to acquire the entire district to run its own business, attracting numerous small and large shops, and even Ming Xinxuan opened a branch here.
When they arrived here, there was no longer a dedicated lane for carriages, so the two of them could only walk down to the ground.
"Selling steamed buns! Big steamed buns with thin skin and lots of stuffing! Steamed buns made from Lingniu beef!"
"A bunch of candied haws worth ten taels of silver, each one is a spiritual fruit!"
"Don't miss it when you pass by. They are all treasures just dug out from the immortal ruins. The minimum price is only thirty taels. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 149 The Troubles of the Dayu Dynasty
Patterned Silver!”
However, as soon as he entered Fang District, Ji Yuan couldn't help but froze on the spot, looking at the scene in front of him with twitching eyes.
If it weren't for the energy fluctuations on the passers-by and the items sold by the vendors on both sides containing a little bit of spiritual energy, he might have thought that he was in a busy city of mortals.
In his original imagination, this place should be filled with a kind of fairy spirit. Most of the monks coming and going were otherworldly, and occasionally there were scenes of people flying with weapons.
But I didn't expect that the famous and vast Loufang District looked like a busy place for ordinary people.
That monk even started working as a vendor, setting up a stall on the roadside and started selling snacks, and he hawked them loudly without caring about his image.
"Sir, not all monks can live a good life like a master."
Xia Dong whispered beside him: "If a casual cultivator without power doesn't have any skills at his disposal, even his daily practice will be difficult to satisfy. He needs to run for a living every day. In addition to having cultivation skills, and
Ordinary mortals are no different."
In other words, this is the true situation of most monks.
Apart from the fact that he has some cultivation and can fight better than ordinary warriors, there is no other difference.
In this case, if you don't have any skills at your disposal, you will either become a thug of a certain force, or you will have to try your best to find some work.
Not to mention setting up a stall to sell food, when you are forced to make a living, you have to do some dirty work.
This is why it is often said that in the Dharma Land of Wealthy Couples, finance is placed first.
After walking several streets in a row, Ji Yuan was still in a trance state, finally accepting what he saw and heard.
In his original impression, even if he was just in the early stages of enlightenment, even if he joined a gang or worked as a nurse, he could receive a lot of offerings every month, and he would not have to set up a stall on the street.
hawking.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that not all monks were good at fighting and killing, and many of them even set foot on the path of cultivation due to a combination of circumstances.
Furthermore, even if you want to join a gang, if you don't have any skills, it is impossible for others to accept you. Even if you are used as a facade, the monthly tribute is pitiful, and you have to be shouted around without any dignity.
