Chapter 222: Killing to establish power, you can go now
Chongzhen directly handed over the heavy responsibility of rebuilding Tianzhi to Chang Xiao. This move seemed a bit childish no matter how you look at it.
After all, Chang Xiao felt that he could count the number of meetings he had with Chongzhen, and there were not many private exchanges. Chongzhen would put such a heavy burden into his hands for no reason, which made him feel a little inexplicable.
Chang Xiao didn't know that Chongzhen had no one available at this time. The emperor Chongzhen seemed to be rich all over the world, but in fact, the only place he could really control was a small place like the Forbidden City. Although he spent every day
He was busy reviewing memorials, but he knew very well in his heart that it would be good if one out of ten memorials he approved could fully comply with his will without compromise, and the remaining ninety-nine memorials could be implemented in accordance with his wishes.
He would burn incense when half of his will was completed. Even though he knew this, he still had to work tirelessly to approve the memorial. At least if he approved the memorial, it would be better than not approving the memorial.
Therefore, Chongzhen had too few truly available people, otherwise Zuo Liangyu would definitely be beheaded this time, but Chongzhen still suppressed the impulse and kept him because Chongzhen had no one in his hands.
In fact, if Chongzhen had been given another ten years to run the court, he would not have been so passive. The key was that his time on the throne was too short, and his brother's death was too sudden, and his accession to the throne was also very sudden.
, before he had time to form his own truly and completely controlled power, on the contrary, those wealthy families passed down the inheritance from generation to generation, and their positions were stable, and they formed cliques for personal gain, which greatly divided his imperial power. He even relied on the power of numbers to suppress the emperor of Chongzhen.
above power.
Appointing Chang Xiao at this time was really a helpless move by Chongzhen, but currently there is indeed no more suitable candidate than Chang Xiao around Chongzhen.
The first Changxiao is his nephew Chongzhen, and they are relatives.
Second, Chang Xiao’s grandfather, Mr. Chang, was extremely knowledgeable and Chongzhen had a very good impression of him. Even though Chang Xiao’s father, Chang Youzhang, was not a great talent, he was still a first-class loyal man. This is passed down in such a family.
Chang Xiao, of course, shouldn't have any big problems, not to mention Chang Xiao's various actions have proved Chang Xiao's loyalty to Chongzhen. Chongzhen also slowly accepted the idea that Chang Xiao was a loyal minister.
It can only be said that Chongzhen was deceived miserably by Chang Xiao.
Chongzhen walked outside a palace with a smile on his face and said: "The guys from Tianzhuo left very simply and left nothing for me, but I am not without any other means."
As he spoke, Chongzhen raised his voice and said, "Everyone, come out!"
Following Chongzhen's words, more than a dozen people walked out of the hall. These people had different descriptions and looked arrogant. Chang Xiao could tell at a glance that these more than ten people had a certain level of cultivation. As for their level of cultivation, if the other party
If he didn't show it deliberately, Chang Xiao wouldn't really be able to tell.
Chongzhen said: "From today on, Chang Aiqing will be responsible for all matters of heavenly punishment, and you will all be under his jurisdiction."
As soon as Chongzhen's words came out, the eyes of the more than ten people glanced at Chang Xiao, and each of them showed an unconvinced look. They were all invited by Chongzhen through various connections in recent days, although Chongzhen was
Emperor, but it is not a simple matter to invite people from the immortal world. These people were eager to try after hearing that Chongzhen was going to build an organization equivalent to Tianzhuang.
Although they usually scold Tianzhuo for being a royal eagle dog and a bitch, deep down they still envy the characters in Tianzhuo.
After all, the benefits for monks and the royal family are endless. The royal family can provide them with various things for cultivation. Sometimes, these things are something that they themselves cannot get anyway, especially those with supernatural powers.
Treasures, many of which are nearly extinct, are enshrined from various places and even overseas.
Many of these more than ten monks were determined to become the first person in this Heavenly Punishment. At this time, these people suddenly heard that Chang Xiao had become the leader of Heavenly Punishment. Naturally, they were all dissatisfied.
As the saying goes, "Wen Wu is the best, Wu Wu is not the second", the figures in the monasticism look down on each other, especially at this time, neither party has shown their own cultivation, and no one will feel that they are inferior to others.
Moreover, some of the people present had heard of Chang Xiao’s deeds and reputation. In their impression, Chang Xiao was a treacherous jester and the chief culprit of the chaos in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Chang Xiao is still
Being under 20 years old made them think that Chang Xiao was just a young man who rose to power through nepotism. Even if Chang Xiao had some cultivation, it would not be too high.
At Changxiao's age, even if he started practicing since he was born, he may not be able to cultivate such profound Taoism. If Tianpu is controlled by such a person who knows nothing but flatters, then Tianpu will not be able to do anything at all.
There is no possibility of development. They monks are all chasing after them. If they cannot achieve their goals, they will definitely leave with a slap on the butt. The monks' time is very limited and very precious. They are not willing to do useless work here.
Waste of time.
Sure enough, one of the monks with a three-foot long beard stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Chang Xiao is just a jester. It's enough for you to stuff such a character into the punishment of heaven, but the Emperor even wants this treacherous fool."
As the person in charge of the day-to-day punishment, I, Gou Lianyu, cannot accept such an arrangement."
The characters in the Immortal Realm really don't think much of the secular emperor, so Gou Lianyu's tone doesn't show much respect for Chongzhen.
Chongzhen said nothing and glanced at Chang Xiao. He had already paved the way for Chang Xiao. How far Chang Xiao can go depends on Chang Xiao himself.
Chang Xiao naturally understood this truth. Chang Xiao glanced at Gou Lianyu, then smiled lightly and said: "This fellow Taoist seems to have a bad impression of Chang."
Gou Lianyu sneered twice and said: "Master Chang is being humble. Not only is it not good, the name Chang Xiao is simply shameful. We cultivators are not willing to play tricks. Chang Xiao, if you really have the ability to hook someone
If you don't have the ability, I think you'd better not get involved in this matter of heavenly punishment. If you get involved, we people won't be willing to serve the royal family anymore."
Gou Lianyu said the next words to Chongzhen. Everyone else nodded in unison. Obviously, this was to tell Chongzhen that if the emperor insists on using an unlearned and unskilled person like Chang Xiao as our leader, we will
Withdraw from the punishment of heaven and I will spare you.
Chang Xiao secretly sighed in his heart, these monks seemed to be just common people, otherwise why would their minds be filled with such common thoughts?
Chang Xiao asked knowingly: "I don't know how Chang can make you think that Chang is capable enough to take on the position of the leader of the Heavenly Punishment?"
Gou Lianyu sneered and said: "This is not difficult. If you can beat me in Taoism, Gou will be willing to listen to your orders!"
Chang Xiao grinned and said, "If Chang takes action, he will never stop until there is blood. Even so, fellow Taoist, do you want to see Chang's cultivation?"
Gou Lianyu smiled and said proudly: "Exactly!"
Gou Lianyu blurted out the word "yes". Before his voice could finish, Chang Xiao had already withdrawn a purple light.
Everyone in the field was stunned, especially the dozen or so people behind Gou Lianyu, whose eyes suddenly widened and their pupils shrank instantly.
Gou Lianyu felt a slight itch on his neck, and reached out to touch it, but he didn't want to use too much force with his hands, and his neck suddenly broke. The living head fell backwards, and fell to the ground with a thud. At this time, Gou Lianyu
I was also surprised that my head was separated from my body.
When the blood in Gou Lianyu's mouth spurted out, Gou Lianyu changed from bewilderment to shock. At this time, he knew that he was dead. Unfortunately, he might as well not know. At least dying in shock would be better than death.
It is much better to live in fear.
Looking at the fountain-like neck, more than ten people behind Gou Lianyu showed shocked expressions on their faces. Although Gou Lianyu's cultivation level is not the first among them, he is still ranked in the top three.
, Chang Xiao casually killed him, this shock was too strong.
Even Chongzhen didn't expect Chang Xiao to be so strong. He knew Gou Lianyu's cultivation level. Gou Lianyu was the cultivation base of Dancheng. Although Dancheng was a low-grade one, he was at least a monk of Dancheng. Such a person would be placed in today's world of immortal cultivation.
He was considered outstanding in this world. Chang Xiao killed him with just a few moves. This level of cultivation was truly astonishing.
Chang Xiao stretched out his hand and took a photo of Gou Lianyu's lower abdomen, and took out a golden elixir seed from his lower abdomen. The golden elixir seed was still struggling, but it was too much to hold back. Chang Xiao took the photo directly.
Lost it in the pocket.
Chang Xiao gave the dozen or so monks opposite him enough time to digest what had just happened. After a while, he asked: "Anyone else who feels dissatisfied with Chang can also come forward and discuss with Chang.
"
Just kidding, people are very particular about the point of the competition, and those who are not very particular can only seriously injure the other party. It's a good thing to laugh often, because doing it can lead to life and death. You must know that destroying people's lives and destroying their cultivation is a taboo. Chang laughs at this temperament and kills people at every turn.
Gou Lianyu didn't know how much hard work and years it took to cultivate the golden elixir seeds. He often laughed and said that he would just kill him. It was really too much and shouldn't be done.
However, although they feel that Chang Xiao should be wrong, no one dares to stand up and challenge Chang Xiao now. Even those with higher cultivation than Gou Lianyu are still standing there. Although their cultivation is superb, they are definitely not that fast.
The ability to kill Gou Lianyu.
In fact, it was Zi Guang who killed Gou Lian Yu. Zi Guang had fully recovered by this time. Chang Xiao had not been idle for more than forty days after returning from Wuchang. He was practicing almost on horseback to warm up his elixir energy.
, the cultivation base has grown a lot compared to when he first entered the realm of alchemy. Just now, Chang Xiao gathered all the alchemy energy in his body on Ziguang. In addition, Ziguang's own swordsmanship cultivation level, and his own
The Lingbao cultivation levels were added up one by one, and it was like two masters in the realm of alchemy struck at the same time. Only then did they achieve the stunning strike just now. Taking advantage of Gou Lianyu's arrogant moment, he unexpectedly killed an alchemy monk.
Jiu Shou. Therefore, Chang Xiao seemed to be able to strike the sword easily, but in fact, after it was released, Chang Xiao's back was slightly sweaty. In order to succeed with this sword, Chang Xiao spent too much elixir energy.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Chang Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, Tianpu is a brand new organization that the emperor wants to build. This organization is more powerful than Tianzhuo, and the benefits for you will definitely be much greater. However,
If you don’t want to join, it’s still too late to leave Heavenly Punishment.”
Hearing this, Chongzhen couldn't help but frown slightly and glanced at Chang Xiao, but he still remained a bystander, watching Chang Xiao perform his tricks without saying a word.
Among the more than ten monks, there was a young monk who looked to be in his early twenties. He seemed to have just finished his studies and came down the mountain. There was still a bit of youthfulness in his eyebrows. After hearing this, he said goodbye, turned around and walked away.
.
In his eyes, Chang Xiao's temperament is too violent. He kills people and destroys people's cultivation without blinking an eyelid. This is simply the work of a demon. Following such a demon, what kind of bloody chaos will there be in the future?
Unsurprisingly, I decided to leave on the spot.
Looking at the young man's back, Chang Xiao sighed slightly, his robe sleeves shook slightly, and a ray of purple light shot out, then retracted into Chang Xiao's robe sleeves.
The young monk suddenly turned around and stared at Chang Xiao with his big eyes.
Chang Xiao shrugged helplessly.
A line of blood suddenly spurted out from the young monk's neck.
