Become a disciple of Taoist Priest Four Eyes

Chapter 741: The court fights, Hong Xin goes to Longhu

…

"boom…!"

The delicate pen was washed off and smashed to pieces on the ground.

"Who on earth broke my Great Song Dynasty Dragon Vein?!"

Zhao Ji has never been so angry.

Although he was uneducated and not a good emperor, he was not a fool either.

He knew very well that once the Dragon Veins of the Song Dynasty was destroyed, it would be Shenzhou Luchen. When the time came, his throne, his luxurious life, and his superior power would no longer exist.

Therefore, he was angry and even a little scared.

"Your Majesty, the one who can sneak into the Chengtian Palace silently, hide it from the guards, and quickly kill the ninety-eight divine generals who protect the palace must be a Golden Immortal. Later, after an inspection by the Imperial City Department, the person who did it was This is Zhou Peihong, the king of the South Campus of the Liao Kingdom and the head of the Six Paths of the Demon Sect, the Holy Demon Sect."

A middle-aged man wearing a purple official robe, with a majestic and powerful aura, stepped out of the queue and said loudly.

Zhao Ji's expression changed slightly.

As the emperor, he was certainly no stranger to this demonic golden immortal.

"Damn Zhou thief, I will lead tens of millions of troops to the north to destroy the Liao Kingdom in the future to avenge today." Zhao Ji gritted his teeth.

But the officials below all knew that these words would only comfort themselves.

In the three thousand years since Taizu Zhao Kuangyin went into seclusion, the Jin and Liao Dynasties had changed their offensive and defensive positions with the Song Dynasty. They fought many battles and were defeated in nine out of ten battles.

Let alone destroying the Liao Kingdom, being able to hold on to the existing borders would be considered a blessing.

"I will work hard at night to help your majesty realize his ambition as soon as possible." Cai Jing said respectfully.

"I am also willing to help His Majesty realize his ambition as soon as possible."

Dozens of Cai Jing's ministers echoed.

"Okay, okay, with the help of all the ministers and princes, why worry about our Song Dynasty not being prosperous, and why worry about the Liao Kingdom not being destroyed."

Zhao Ji's self-esteem as an emperor was greatly satisfied.

"Your Majesty, the attack on Liao still requires careful planning. The top priority is to rescue the people affected by the disaster, otherwise there may be a civil unrest."

Wearing a red robe and a resolute face, Li Gang, the minister of the Ministry of War and the right prime minister of Shangshu, spoke.

Zhao Ji also knew the impact of the civil uprising on the Song Dynasty, and after some thought.

"Let's do this. The Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate 300 million taels of silver to help the victims."

"Your Majesty, this earth dragon's transformation involves hundreds of billions of people on Jingxi East Road, Jingbei North Road, Hebei West Road, and Hedong Road. Three hundred million taels of silver is really a drop in the bucket." Li Gang said quickly.

"Then we will exempt the affected people from taxes for another year."

Zhao Ji had long been accustomed to the "insatiable greed" of these ministers, so he deliberately spoke two steps apart to avoid being too happy and letting them take advantage of them.

"Your Majesty, the earth dragon is overturned. The people have no food to eat and no clothes to wear. It is indeed your Majesty's mercy to exempt the tax burden for one year, but if hundreds of millions of Guizhou leaders cannot wait for relief from the imperial court, they may not be able to survive even half a month."

Li Gang knelt down and made an impassioned speech.

"If I die, please give me a beating. I also hope that your majesty will allow you to stop the construction of Huayang Palace, and all the remaining silver will be used to help the victims."

"Li Gang, you are brave!" Zhao Ji said angrily.

Huayang Palace is his favorite, and it is also his carefully built comfort home. Not to mention a mere earth dragon turning over, even if the Yellow River bursts its banks and the world suffers a severe drought, it will not stop.

"His Majesty!"

Cai Jing spoke quickly, blocking Zhao Ji's next words.

After everyone turned their attention, "Your Majesty, you must listen to Mr. Li's words, but even if the construction of Huayang Palace is stopped, it will be difficult for the Ministry of Revenue to come up with enough silver to save hundreds of billions of people."

"However, Wei Chen has a plan to solve this problem."

"Oh? Does the Grand Master have any good ideas?"

At this time, Cai Jing had been granted the title of Grand Master.

"A few days ago, 'Guoguodaojun' Xu Zhenjun sent his disciples to the capital. He said that the three counties of Yanmen, Yunzhong and Wuyuan are vast and sparsely populated. He hoped that the imperial court could extradite some refugees to fill the three counties."

"However, our Song Dynasty is rich and prosperous, and the people are prosperous. How can there be refugees filling the borders? Therefore, I have never responded. I never thought that today I would encounter such a disaster."

"As a humble minister, it is better to agree to Xu Zhenjun and assign the Chongshan faction to be responsible for all the refugees caused by the earth dragon's transformation. I think that with the great power of Xu Zhenjun, the Golden Immortal Lord, these refugees will not have to endure hunger." Hungry."

"And without these refugees, the dilemma of the Central Plains being small and densely populated can be greatly alleviated and the imperial rule can be consolidated."

"Your Majesty, no, if hundreds of billions of refugees fall into the hands of Chongshan Academy, I'm afraid it will take the opportunity to grow bigger, and it will threaten our rule of the Song Dynasty in the future." Li Gang said loudly.

"Master Li, what you said is wrong. Chongshan Academy is located on the border of Song and Liao. If its strength increases, it will only become a barrier against the southward movement of Liao. It will never threaten our rule of the Song Dynasty. What's more, there are Tianshi Dao, Shen Xiaodao, Chunyang Sect, and Kongtong Sect are all restricting us, and our Song Dynasty has Taizu sitting in charge, so how can we talk about threats?"

"Could it be that Mr. Li thinks that with Taizu's cultivation, coupled with Lao Xiangguo and General Yang, he can't suppress Chongshan Academy?"

"Of course not, it's just...!"

"alright!"

Zhao Ji interrupted Li Gang and said, "The Grand Master's strategy is a good strategy that kills three birds with one stone. Let's act accordingly."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Seeing the situation in front of him, Li Gang could only accept it no matter how dissatisfied it was.

After all, he is just a minister, and Zhao Ji is the king.

"Your Majesty, this time the earth dragon turned over, the people suffered heavy casualties. I hope that your Majesty will grant permission to hold 3,600 Luotian Festivals in Bianliang City, and invite the Celestial Master Zhang Laozhen to preside over the ceremony to save the souls of the dead. To show Your Majesty’s mercy.”

After he finished speaking, he glanced to the right.

Tong Guan, also wearing a purple robe, walked out of the train to the left.

"Your Majesty, now that the earth dragon has turned over and the world is in chaos, it is time to worship the souls of the dead and soothe the hearts of the living people. I believe that the Grand Master's proposal is very good."

"I second the proposal."

At that time, nearly half of the ministers echoed, which shows that Cai Jing's power is at its peak.

"Your Majesty, there is still demonic energy in the dragon's veins, and we need to invite the Heavenly Protector of the Country to come to the capital as soon as possible."

Imperial City Division Commander Murong Qiu said in a deep voice.

Zhao Ji, who was a little hesitant, nodded and agreed.

"Since both the Grand Master and Lieutenant General feel that it is appropriate to hold the Luotian Festival, then let's do it accordingly."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Everyone said respectfully.

"It's just that the Celestial Master who protects the country is of great importance. Who among you ministers is willing to go to Longhu Mountain and invite the Celestial Master to come here on my behalf?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go!"

A man wearing a red official robe walked out of the queue.

Zhao Ji took a look and saw that it was Hong Xin, the Taiwei in front of the palace.

"Forget it, I will give you a sword, three pairs of fine jade, and thirty jars of fine wine. You can go out on my behalf."

"My lord, I obey the order!"

…

"Master, the imperial court has issued an order, agreeing to us attracting the refugees who have turned from Earth Dragon this time into the three counties of Chongshan." Yue Xiang said respectfully.

Xu Junming nodded.

"It was just a risky move at first, but I never thought it would lead to big gains."

There was a pause.

"Send a message to your third uncle, fourth uncle and fifth uncle, asking them to lead their disciples to hold our sacred mountain outside the sky and transfer all the refugees in the four roads of the Central Plains to the small world of Chongshan within half a month."

"Remember, I said everything."

Yue Xiang instantly understood that his master was taking the opportunity to recruit people.

But that's also a good thing.

Compared with struggling to survive in the Song Dynasty, living in confusion. After coming under the rule of Chongshan, at least those people in Guizhou no longer have to suffer from hunger, and their descendants can receive education, and as long as they are talented, they can stand out.

The situation is more than a hundred times stronger!

"Disciple, obey."

Seeing that Yue Xiang has not left.

"Anything else?"

"There is news from the court that the Hunjun is planning to hold 3,600 Luotian feasts, and is also planning to send Hong Xin, the prefect of the palace, to Longhu Mountain in person to invite Zhang Chongyang, the Heavenly Master who protects the country, to come to Bianliang to host it. "

Xu Junming was shocked and felt that this matter was somewhat familiar.

He subconsciously activated the heavenly secret divine ball, and in an instant, countless heavenly secrets appeared.

After a long time, the magic power converged and the breath calmed down.

Take a slight breath.

"So it's like this. It's beyond my expectation."

"Xiang'er, go ahead."

"Disciple, obey."

After bowing respectfully, Yue Xiang left Chongshan Residence.

He made a hand gesture, and after a moment, Xu Junming tapped his forehead, and then shook it.

A faint brilliance rose from the ground.

Soon, the figure of True Lord Taiyi became clear.

"What do you want from me?"

After briefly telling what happened in the capital, "Go to Longhu Mountain. If you find traces of Wanyanzhan or Zhou Peihong, don't act rashly, just follow them."

"This matter is simple. But if everything is as you expected, then this world will be much more interesting."

"Zhang Chongyang has extraordinary cultivation, don't let him discover your whereabouts."

"Haha, don't worry. Unless he has a treasure such as a bronze mirror, he will never discover my whereabouts."

Along with the sound of drinking wine, the figure of Zhenjun Taiyi slowly disappeared.

…

After receiving the emperor's order, Hong Xin packed up the gifts given by the emperor, took three hundred imperial guardsmen, took a speed car specially used by the Ministry of War, and rushed straight to Longhu Mountain.

The flying chariot is towed by four dragon horses and rides on the wind, traveling millions of miles a day at an astonishing speed!

In the carriage, Hong Xin was holding a copy of The Analects of Confucius and reading it at night by the bright light next to it.

The reason why he took the initiative to go to Longhu Mountain before was not to please Cai Jing, but to leave an impression on His Majesty.

Of course, what is more important is to seek an opportunity from the old heavenly master Zhang Chongyang to see if the few brats in his family can become a disciple of Longhu Mountain and practice.

Only by relying on the First Sect of Time can we have a greater future.

Suddenly, a cold breath came, and he subconsciously looked up, with a look of horror on his face. At some point, a man wearing a black robe, his whole body hidden in the darkness, appeared three feet in front of him.

"you…!"

Before he could speak, a stream of colorful light came straight to the door.

The speed was too fast for someone like him who had just become a soul to resist.

As soon as the stream of light touched the skin, it melted in instantly, and Hong Xin's expression instantly became dull.

The man in black robe made a seal with his hands, and in an instant countless streams of light flew into Hong Xin's body.

He stopped after a quarter of an hour, and Hong Xin's expression became lively again, but his temperament was much colder than before.

"This body is too weak." Hong Xin said dissatisfied.

"Only he can achieve our goals."

After the man in black robe finished speaking, he shook his hand and shot out a black light.

After Hong Xin used it, a black iron awl appeared in front of him.

"Be careful, don't get caught."

After saying that, the man in black robe disappeared silently.

Hong Xin picked up the Analects on the table and read it again.

But compared to before, now it looks more like a show-off.

At the same time, thousands of feet away behind the convoy, in a mustard space.

'Gudu' took a sip of wine, and the angry Dahongpao casually wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, looking into the distance with drunken eyes.

"I am really a master of calculations. The old devil Zhou Peihong has indeed appeared."
