Xiao Chengping retreated from the many palace attendants and stayed alone in the Yangxin Palace. He picked up the Yun Kingdom's traditional jade seal that was lying aside.
The jade seal passed down to the country is a symbol of the legitimacy of a country. Even if there is a change of dynasty, later dynasties still need this jade seal passed down from the country as a proof of legal authority.
The method of luck handed over by Li Xing needs to be mobilized by this thing.
Speaking of which, in the setting of Goldfinger, this jade seal is also a five-star treasure on the same level as the Raging Dragon Sword and the Seal of the Lord of War. Previously, Xiao Cheng once had the title of a five-star treasure because of the jade seal.
But there are no skills or effects, so I feel puzzled.
Now it seems that the jade seal is not magical, but the fact that it can have such a level of treasure evaluation is related to this luck!
When Xiao Cheng thought of this, he no longer hesitated. He immediately grabbed the jade seal passed down from the country, infused it with the energy of energy and spirit in his body, and moved it slowly according to the law of luck.
Originally just an ordinary jade seal passed down from the country, with the help of Xiao Cheng's power, a jade-colored light suddenly flashed on it, slowly floating in the air, and hanging in front of Xiao Cheng's forehead, looking strange and strange.
In an instant, in Xiao Cheng's perception, the world changed drastically.
All kinds of radiance coming from all directions turned into milky white light and gathered around Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng subconsciously stretched out his palm and stirred it slightly. The milky white light moved accordingly and wrapped around Xiao Cheng's palm, extremely docile.
According to what Li Xing said, this huge but extremely scattered force at this time is the power of national destiny.
The Yin-Yang School has the Guan Xin Pu, the Taoist School has the Heavenly Eye and the Taoist Mind, and Confucianism, Mohism, Ming Dynasty, Military Arts, Methods, Fang Ji, etc. all also have the theory of hope.
This kind of secret method is not unique to one family.
The reason for this is that outstanding people in the world, either because of their tenacity of mind, or because of their superb resourcefulness, or because of their achievements in martial arts, are able to make the power of heaven and earth secretly echo and interact with human spirit.
Qi and spirit are entangled and intertwined with each other, giving rise to various strange phenomena.
People have their luck manifested, and so do countries.
Such is the power of national destiny.
The forces around Xiao Cheng at this time are the aggregation of the civil and military officials of a country and the thoughts of the people, so they are extremely huge.
However, compared with the manifestation of people's destiny, the belief of tens of thousands of people in a country's national destiny is huge, but it is also extremely complicated, making it difficult to condense it into shape and use it accordingly.
Li Xing's method is derived from the method of manifesting one's destiny.
As the leader of the country, he relied on his own thoughts to replace the will of the country, and took the initiative to unite the destiny of the country, thus being able to mobilize this huge force.
This method, to say the least, is to imitate the principle of manifesting human visions, so that the power of the country's destiny can be condensed into one, and it is no longer disorderly and difficult to mobilize as before.
Over the past thousands of years, there have been countless talented and resourceful people in the world, but only Li Xing has figured out how to use the country's destiny. This is not because his wisdom is unparalleled.
It's because the outstanding kings of all countries in the world are all arrogant and have a high self-esteem. What they pursue is not to control the court and turn their hands into clouds and rain, or to go to war immediately.
All nations come and descend, spreading glory in all directions.
Even if these virtuous and outstanding kings could feel the destiny of their country in the dark, they would not pay attention to this somewhat imaginary theory of destiny because of their own personalities, ambitions, and broadmindedness.
As for kings with average qualifications, based on their ability and wisdom, they basically cannot discover the destiny of the country. Even if they discover it, they don't know how to use it.
However, even if the wise men and sages in the world are wise enough, they are not the king of a country and cannot come into contact with the power of the destiny of the country, so it is difficult for them to understand it.
Only people like Li Xing, who can be regarded as outstanding figures of the previous generation, but cannot compete with the great ancestors of Yun and Xia due to their own talents, can only rely on other means such as luck and witchcraft to succeed.
By accident, I figured out the method of utilizing the destiny of a country.
At this moment, Xiao Cheng's mind moved again, and he heard a clear chirping sound in his ear.
A divine purple bird with destiny manifested suddenly fluttered its wings and flew out.
After Xiao Cheng equipped the purple emperor card [King Qi Xuan], the luck on his head manifested, and he became such a purple divine bird, which was exactly what King Qi Xuan said: "If you don't sing, it will be a blockbuster."
The purple divine bird fluttered its wings, and the milky white power of national destiny also moved with it, wrapping around the wings of the divine bird. As the wings of the divine bird flapped, the power of destiny followed it, spinning and entwining.
Driven by Xiao Cheng's mind, he only saw the purple divine bird cry softly again, his body shook, and immediately dispersed, turning into dots of purple light, which also gathered into the scattered power of national destiny.
The milky white power of national destiny, driven by Xiao Cheng, is no longer scattered. They are entangled and intertwined with each other, and operate with each other in some indescribable order.
At this time, the rising sun was rising and shining brightly in the eastern sky. There were already golden auspicious clouds gathering in the sky.
At this time, in the sight that ordinary people cannot see, the energy of the dragon and tiger of the country is surging continuously, manifesting all kinds of auspiciousness. The power of national destiny condenses and turns into a golden dragon.
The scales and claws are clear, and the dragon's horns are majestic. The huge body is looming in the auspicious clouds, covering the entire Yun Kingdom, overlooking the world.
Xiao Cheng's gaze gradually rose, and finally turned into the perspective of the Luck Divine Dragon, overlooking the entire Yun Kingdom.
At this time, his state of mind was neither sad nor happy, looking at the mountains and rivers of the world, as indifferent as a god.
At the same time, in the Lumen Academy, Xu Su, the leader of the Yin Yang family, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the direction of the palace, with a strange expression on his face.
Sang Pan, who was waiting next to Susu, felt something in his heart at this time, and a purple light flashed in his eyes. But just when he was about to look up, he suddenly remembered that he had been injured several times after entering the Yun Kingdom.
When he reached his eyes, he immediately lowered his head with lingering fear, not daring to look.
Susu noticed the strangeness of his disciple, so he chuckled and said:
"No problem!"
Hearing this, Sang Pan looked sarcastic, and then he raised his head and looked in the direction of the palace.
In Jixia Academy, there were several lines of sight directed towards the palace.
"The great changes in the world are so astonishing! I, a famous master, must not fall behind others this time!"
"Tongchengmen, please come to Yun Kingdom as soon as possible."
"Cultivating oneself, managing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world is our Confucian ideal. Now that His Majesty the Emperor Yun is promoting the imperial examination, he is exactly the sage that our Confucians have expected for thousands of years!"
"There is no way to adapt to the situation, but to adapt to change..."
"Hahaha, the fate of the country has condensed, and the countries will inevitably be in chaos. My military strategist will flourish at this time!"
"..."
-----------------------
At this time, Li Chao was in Shenglong Mansion.
Li Weining suddenly raised his head, walked out of the palace, and looked in the direction of Yun Guo.
Feeling the throbbing in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:
"It's the method of luck, absolutely!"
At this time, he no longer had the same appreciation for Xiao Cheng as before.
Thinking of Xiao Cheng's claim that he had robbed him of his destiny and sent envoys to ask him to pay tribute and become a vassal, he immediately felt itchy with hatred! If Xiao Cheng appeared in front of him at this time, he would only wish to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
Only then could he relieve the frustration in his heart.
At this moment, his personal eunuch Pi Hui suddenly came over.
Although Pihui didn't know what happened, when he saw Li Weining standing outside the palace with an extremely ugly expression, his heart suddenly thumped and he thought something was wrong.
After hesitating for a moment, he carefully took two steps back, hoping to leave quietly before his king noticed him.
But obviously, he moved a step slower.
Li Weining turned around and saw Pi Hui creeping on his hands and feet. He suppressed the unknown fire in his heart and gritted his teeth and said:
"What are you doing!"
When Pi Hui heard Li Weining speak, his whole body trembled. He swallowed, walked forward with his hands and feet shrinking, and saluted:
"Your Majesty!"
Li Weining looked at Pi Hui coldly and said:
"What were you doing just now?"
As Li Weining's personal eunuch, he was naturally very familiar with his character. Hearing his words at this time, Pi Huidang knew that his king was still on the verge of rage.
The words he originally wanted to report were suddenly blocked in his throat and he couldn't say anything.
Noticing Pi Hui's expression, Li Weining's expression became even colder, his voice became colder and colder, and he said in a deep voice:
"Say it quickly!"
The overwhelming anger hidden within is already raging.
Pi Hui's heart trembled, and he could only say in a trembling voice:
"Yun, the envoy of Yun State is asking for an audience today. He wants to see the king at the court meeting..."
As soon as the words fell, there was deep silence.
After a while, Pi Hui heard the sound of a biting wind coming suddenly.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", and a dragon-shaped jade pendant hit Pi Hui's forehead. Then the priceless jade pendant that King Li carried with him fell heavily to the ground, breaking into several pieces.
Pi Hui felt the severe pain coming from his head, but he did not dare to move. He lay low on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
"Trash! Trash!" Li Weining roared angrily. In his excitement, he even stepped forward and kicked Pi Hui hard, causing him to turn over.
Today, the Li Dynasty has lost all its elites, and its military strength has not returned to 30% of its previous state. In addition, Chen Feng and Li Hu led troops to remove Li Xing's gang members, resulting in the loss of all the senior officials in the country, and the political turmoil in the country.
In such a situation, facing the imperial decree of Yun Guo's canonization, there is no other way except to avoid it and try to delay it with the excuse of the unstable situation between the DPRK and China.
But even if it is delayed, how long can it be delayed?
Today, the envoy from the Yun Kingdom made it clear that he wanted to meet Li Weining, and after reading Xiao Cheng's canonization decree in front of all the officials of the Li Dynasty, Li Weining could no longer find any reason to shirk!
Apart from being incompetent and furious, Li Weining had no choice but to do anything.
Pi Hui knelt on the ground, curled up, not daring to make any movement, and kept saying:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Li Weining looked at Pi Hui's embarrassed appearance, but he put down the foot he had just raised, with a look of dejection on his face.
After a long silence, he took a deep breath and murmured:
"Now that the situation in our country is like this, we can only accept this decree of canonization. Let me endure the humiliation of our country. After I rectify the country, I will wait for the opportunity and one day I can wash away the shame."
Li Weining said this in a very low voice, as if he was talking to himself. Obviously, Li Weining was just looking for a reason for himself.
--------------------------
The capital of Xia Kingdom, in the imperial palace of Jinling City.
Emperor Xia frowned and looked toward the southwest with a solemn look on his face.
The feeling just now made my heart throb, it seemed a little unusual!
The personal eunuch Si Xi on the side quickly stepped forward and asked cautiously:
"Your Majesty, are you worried about His Highness King Qi?"
After hearing this, Emperor Xia came back to his senses slightly, temporarily put down the strange feeling he had just felt, snorted coldly, and said:
"Hmph, a reckless kid who doesn't care about his own body and puts himself in danger. He asked for it. Why should I take it to heart?"
Although the voice was cold, the words were more dissatisfied. But to the old eunuch Si Xi, it had a different meaning.
Today, the Xia Emperor has more than thirty princes and daughters in total. When the royal family has more heirs, it is natural that there is less friendship between father and son. They are more like monarchs and ministers than father and son.
If it were an ordinary prince who just entered the plague area personally and did not die, Emperor Xia would never have such a big reaction.
For him to be able to do this, he obviously had Prince Qi in mind.
In the Xia Kingdom's court, due to the Xia Emperor's deliberate laissez-faire, the princes cultivated their power and fought for power among themselves. They fought for the vacant crown prince's position and fought for it.
It was fine in the early years, but now that Emperor Xia is getting older and older, this matter has reached the final outcome, and all parties can no longer sit still. Even Si Xi, the eunuch who is close to Emperor Xia, can't bear it.
I couldn't help but test it out.
Sixi's lowered eyes turned slightly, and she quickly smiled:
"Why did your Majesty say that? His Majesty, King Qi, is courageous and responsible. Now he has put himself in danger and personally entered the southwest counties to take charge. He is also worried about state affairs and wants to share the worries for His Majesty."
After saying that, the old eunuch quickly and secretly looked at Emperor Xia's expression.
Emperor Xia glanced at the old eunuch Sixi casually, then lowered his head and said:
"If he can return to Beijing as soon as possible, I can worry less..."
The old eunuch responded with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but feel waves in his heart.
I never expected that, seeing what His Majesty meant, it turned out to be King Qi, the most unruly among the princes, who was the most favored by His Majesty...
Well, it seems I have to tell my nephews to stay close to King Qi more often!
Thinking of this, Sixi quickly lowered his head and said:
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qi is in charge of the southwest army camp, so you don't need to worry too much for the time being. It's just that the food and grass supplies are absolutely indispensable. Do you want to send someone to keep an eye on the slaves?"
When Emperor Xia heard this, he raised his eyelids and sneered:
"That's good! These sons of mine are really holding back. It's been months of hard work, but only a small amount of food and supplies have been delivered. If someone hadn't worked hard, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to deliver even that little thing.
In the past...hehe!"
Si Xi heard the words, his eyes were lowered and he did not dare to answer the words.
These words are no longer something he can interrupt! His identity is, after all, just a eunuch. No matter what the princes are, they are still princes.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will leave it to someone to take care of it now!"
Emperor Xia nodded, sighed, shook his head slightly, and continued to lower his head at his desk to handle government affairs.
