Chu Nan's journey has come to an end, and the weather has begun to enter late autumn.
In the bleak autumn wind, Chu Nan walked through one city after another, breathing dragon energy to refine the luck. In the process, Chu Nan felt that his spirit seemed to be constantly being washed and washed away by the refined luck.
His god also broke through the limits of numbers and reached a strange state. As long as he let his mind go, in the city that had been refined by his luck, he could look down on the city like a god.
Anyone's every move will be sensed and noticed by him. He can mobilize the invisible power of heaven and earth. This is somewhat similar to the legendary City God. The difference is that his power as City God is somewhat greater. Among the three states and two counties,
No matter where he goes, he can control the local air of heaven and earth.
"Lord, we're going back to Xuchang soon." Zhou Cang followed Chu Nan. In the past six months, the two of them have traveled to various cities in the Central Plains. Even though they were flying fast, they still felt a little tired, but for some reason, they always felt that their lord was getting worse and worse.
Spirit.
"Yeah." Chu Nan nodded. Xuchang hadn't seen it yet, but he could see the sea of luck clouds and the luck golden dragon above Xuchang City. They were simpler than before and almost became phantoms.
It is not difficult to understand if you think about it. Xuchang is now the seat of the imperial court. Now the imperial court actually controls the land of three states and two counties. It stands to reason that the luck of the three states and two counties will continuously converge into the sea of clouds of luck for the imperial court.
Even if it is not as good as the heyday of the Han Dynasty, it should not be so gloomy.
However, the luck of the cities in these three states and two counties was refined by Chu Nan, and the steady flow of luck flowed into Chu Nan. The original cloud sea of luck for the court no longer supported it, but it continued to dissipate, and naturally became weaker and weaker.
The majesty of the imperial court was gradually replaced by Chu Nan during Chu Nan's wandering. Now when people talk about the imperial court, the first thing that comes to mind is not the emperor, but him, the Minister of Household Affairs.
The fate of the country is about to perish but there is still one breath left. This breath is the destiny of the imperial court itself and the recognition of the imperial court deep in everyone's heart.
In other words, no matter how powerful Chu Nan is now, in everyone's hearts, he is still Hanchen.
Moreover, this last ray of luck is not just the recognition of the three states and two counties, but the sense of belonging of the entire world to the Han Dynasty, which is also the most difficult to eliminate.
In other words, although the princes were divided into one side, they still had a little bit of luck to contribute to the court, maintaining the fate of the Han Dynasty.
If Chu Nan wants to perfectly represent the Han Dynasty, the next thing he has to do is to defeat this last trace of national destiny.
"General, will you tell the soldiers in the city to come out to greet you?" Zhou Cang looked at Chu Nan and said, it was always like this before.
"This is the capital, so it doesn't have to be like this." Chu Nan shook his head. He couldn't swallow Xuchang's luck. As long as the national luck was still there, he couldn't refine the capital's luck, no matter how weak the national luck was.
This national destiny is an intangible thing and represents the will of the people. If you cannot remove the recognition of the country from the bottom of the heart, you cannot change this final national destiny, so it is useless to put up any battles.
Moreover, his wife was about to give birth, and he had been running around for more than half a year. He really didn't want to deal with official matters. He just wanted to stay with his wife and wait for the birth.
The two of them walked very fast. As they spoke, they had already arrived outside Xuchang City. The garrison at the gate of the city had been replaced by new troops. During Chu Nan's absence, other departments in Xuchang City were not idle.
Lu Bu was either training soldiers or performing martial arts all day long, Chen Gong was promoting the concept of contemplation, and Man Chong maintained order in the counties and counties and perfected new laws. Now the guards of Xuchang have been replaced by new soldiers, and the veterans have been transferred to various places.
The recruits didn't know Chu Nan, but the generals knew him. When they saw Chu Nan returning, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "I have seen your Majesty at last."
"There is no need to be polite or make any noise, just keep guarding the city gate." Chu Nan stretched out his hand to help him up, and then walked straight through the city gate.
The Luck Golden Dragon above Xuchang City felt a huge crisis. From the moment Chu Nan approached, it kept roaring and threatening him, as if it wanted to get him out of its territory.
Chu Nan ignored him. The moment he entered the city, the dragon energy that belonged to him in his chest turned into a dragon shape. He looked up to the sky and let out a long roar. In Chu Nan's unexpected eyes, he suddenly rose up from the ground and rushed into the sea of luck clouds in the sky.
among.
The golden dragon of luck transformed by this dragon energy was not as huge as the original golden dragon of luck, but it was as solid as substance. With its long roar, infinite luck gathered towards this side in the sky.
Chu Nan looked up at the sky and saw a new sea of luck clouds forming below the original sea of luck clouds. The golden dragon of luck that belonged to Chu Nan opened its mouth and roared towards the golden dragon of luck that represented the great man. The sound shook the sky.
.
The original sea of luck clouds was almost washed away, and the original golden dragon of luck silently retracted into the sea of luck clouds, looking at the newly formed sea of luck clouds with some sadness.
Chu Nan looked up at the sky. This was the first time he saw the scene of two dragons in the sky.
Although it did not swallow up the original luck like in various counties, it completely covered the original luck cloud sea and seemed to isolate it.
"Lord, what's wrong?" Zhou Cang looked at Chu Nan in confusion.
"Nothing, let's go home." Chu Nan shook his head and continued to move forward.
In the Yang family, Yang Biao, who had already become an official and cultivated himself, suddenly felt something in his heart. He looked up at the sky and saw the scene of two dragons in the sky, and his expression changed slightly.
"Why did father change his color?" Yang Xiu curiously followed Yang Biao's gaze and saw that there was no change in the clear sky, and he asked a little puzzled.
Yang Biao withdrew his gaze with a flash of sadness in his old eyes, looked at his son, thought for a while and said: "Go to the city and ask, are there any important people entering the city today?"
Yang Xiu nodded doubtfully and turned around to inquire.
The family history of the Yang family can be said to be of the same age as that of the country. It has been enfeoffed since the time of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. The prime ministers and three-gong-level figures that have emerged in the past dynasties are not just as simple as the fourth generation and the three princes. It has continued for four hundred years and has its own characteristics that others do not know.
s method.
Now in Xuchang City, although the ministers have no right to speak, their family background and connections are still there. If you want to find out any news, you can probably find out by going around the various government offices.
And Yang Biao himself had the ability to observe good and bad luck. After the method of visualization spread, Yang Biao was able to see the luck. Today, others did not know the changes in luck in the city, but he could see clearly.
An hour later, Yang Xiu came back in a hurry, looked at his father in surprise and said, "How did father know?"
"Who's coming back?" Yang Biao didn't answer, just asked lightly.
"Shang Shu, Chu Nan!" Yang Xiu said with a smile, "But he didn't make any announcement. He only found out that Chu Nan had returned when he heard someone talking near the city gate."
"Is it him?" Yang Biao was a little distracted. He especially remembered that the first time he met Chu Nan was three years ago. That young man with a merchant's temperament stepped into the court and was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the emperor. Kong Rong was even more angry and vomited blood.
He was sharp but he was still just a young man. Apart from his sharp tongue, he did not leave a deep impression on others. Cao Cao also tried to teach the other party, but his knowledge was mediocre.
Later, the understanding of Chunan only existed in legends. The Xuzhou Butcher, the Jianghuai Butcher, and the Runan Butcher. The first thing they did after taking over Xuchang was to be a butcher, and they killed them from the root.
The princes of the Manchu Dynasty were relatively loose-minded and only massacred local powerful people.
Everyone is waiting to see the joke of massacre and the final tragic end. Anyone who dares to do this in history will not end well.
However, what Yang Biao saw was that the more people he killed, the more stable his foundation became, until now.
In Lu Bu's small group, Lu Bu is nominally in charge, but in fact he is in charge of the overall situation. Yang Biao can probably understand what the other party wants to do. In fact, it is not that no one has done it in history. Wang Mang is the best.
For example, his new tax law is somewhat similar to Wang Mang's Wang Tian Law, but it is different and does not completely restore the ancient law.
Wang Mang blindly restored the Zhou rites, but at the same time he offended the common people, the powerful and the nobles.
However, Chu Nan always stood on the side of the common people, poor families and some powerful people, and then went to death to punish the Gongqing noble family. The more ruthless he was, the more people surrounded him.
From the time Lu Bu entered Xuchang, Yang Biao had predicted that Chu Nan would be ten times stronger than Wang Mang in terms of means and courage. He had a very clear purpose and knew what he wanted and who his opponent was. This alone
, Wang Mang is far inferior to him.
And now, although they have not met, the two dragons are in the same sky, which means that the legend that is being circulated now is true. This person has been recognized by the Yellow Emperor in the secret realm and has the dragon spirit around him.
The Han Dynasty is about to die, and a new royal family will be born. In addition, the world is currently undergoing a great change that has not happened in a thousand years, and this person has already seized the opportunity of the new era.
What a young man!
"Dezu." After Yang Biao was lost for a long time, he withdrew his gaze and looked at his son.
"What are your orders from father?" Yang Xiu bowed.
"You have reached the age where you should become an official." Yang Biao looked at his son and smiled and said, "Father, I remember that the assessment of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be in the early spring of next year. You go and try it."
In fact, Yang Xiu was three years older than Chu Nan, so he should have joined the officialdom long ago. However, the Yang family was naturally opposed to Lu Bu's regime. Even if he joined the officialdom, he would not end well if he went against Lu Bu.
"Father, if we want to deal with that Chu Nan, I think this is not the time to become an official. I think that Chu Nan is not a person who has been living under others for a long time. In the future..." Yang Xiu frowned and opened his mouth to persuade, but was interrupted by Yang Biao.
"As a minister, how can you think of dealing with the master?" Yang Biao interrupted his son and looked at Yang Xiudao seriously: "Remember, no matter what happens in the future, you only need to stand firmly by Chu Lingjun's side.
Just help him solve his problems, and don’t worry about other things.”
"This..." Yang Xiu stared at his father in shock, not believing that these words came from his father's mouth. They were different from Chu Nandao.
"Go and prepare. You will understand in the future that many things, in the long run, are just passing clouds. Don't let the small gains in front of you blind your eyes." Yang Biao said solemnly: "Remember, no matter what happens in the future
, all stood by his side.”
"My child understands!" Yang Xiu nodded in confusion, and then bowed to leave. He needed to sort out his thoughts, and he was not sure whether his father had made up his mind. He wouldn't be confused, right?
