The fairy father

Donghuang Taiyi woke up and everyone was confused.

He was sitting on the throne, with a little blood in his eyes. His robe had been replaced by a black robe, and he wore a crown representing the king.

Below, hundreds of ministers bowed their heads in unison and saluted, shouting in unison:

"Meet the king!"

The first eight of these ministers are all well-known veterans of the great merchants.

The humerus of the two dynasties, oh no, it should be Shang Rong, the elder of the three dynasties now, ranking first among the ministers and standing at the front of the ministers. Next to Shang Rong is a representative of the Shang royal family, Emperor Yi's brother, Wang Shubigan, and the doctor Zhao Qi.

Behind the three ministers, there are five more important ministers in the Shang Kingdom. Behind each minister is a powerful political force.

For example, the minister Mei Bo, who along with the prime minister (the first prime minister) Shang Rong and the senior official Zhao Qi, was one of the three ministers who strongly recommended Emperor Yi and asked Emperor Yi to appoint his younger eldest son Zishou instead.

There is also Du Yuanxian, the Tianjian, whose star charts are said to be unparalleled in the world, and he can predict good and bad luck with a mortal's body.

In addition, there are two senior officials and Taishi Ling, as well as two military marshals.

The businessman is fond of martial arts, but when standing in the court, the two generals could only stand beside the doctor.

In fact, one of the eight ministers here was missing, Wen Zhong, who was automatically promoted to Taishi from Shaoshi.

Wen Zhong is still cultivating on Jin'ao Island and has not yet returned to Chaoge City. However, Wen Zhong's family power, especially the influence in the military, cannot be ignored. Therefore, Shang Rong, Bigan, and Zhao Qi in the first row were specially placed next to them. A place was reserved for Wen Zhong.

Donghuang Taiyi knew all these very well.

——After all, he grew up in the palace and interacted with ministers early on.

But now, Donghuang Taiyi is indeed a little confused.

He was in a depressed mood, drank some wine, and then fell asleep. When he woke up, he was sitting in the main hall of the palace, receiving visits from the civil and military officials of the court, and was called the king.

What's going on?

Was part of his memory cut off by his father?

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi saw the young man standing behind the pillars of the main hall out of the corner of his eyes, and saw the smile in the young man's eyes.

Before Donghuang Taiyi had time to call Ji Dan forward, Prime Minister Shang Rong had already shouted:

"Your Majesty! The late king has recently been mourned, and people in Chaoge City are in panic. Please issue a royal order to change the uniforms at Dingling!"

"Well," Donghuang Taiyi had seen big scenes after all. At this moment, he had regained his composure, nodded slightly, and said slowly, "First the king, then everything will be left to the hands of the Prime Minister and Uncle Wang."

Shang Rong and Bigan received orders at the same time: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A minister in the rear took two steps, bowed his head and saluted, and shouted: "Your Majesty! The late king has a new funeral. Princes Qi and Yan have not yet entered the palace. The other princes and princesses who stayed in Chaoge City have all arrived in the palace. There may be people here. A disloyal heart!”

Bigan immediately said: "The incident happened suddenly. The two of them must not have received the news yet. Please ask the king for permission. I will go to their mansion immediately and invite them to enter the palace!"

Donghuang Taiyi naturally knew what Bigan meant.

Bigan was the most capable talent in the Shang royal family. He had previously won the trust of Emperor Yi and was regarded as a role model for the royal family.

Now that Emperor Yi died and he, the new king, came to the throne, Bigan personally went to his two brothers' houses in order to make them give up and show that the royal family had made a decision to fully support his third brother.

This matter cannot be blamed on the eldest prince Ziqi for being dissatisfied.

How could Taiyi, the Emperor of the East, not know that Zi Qi and he were actually of the same mother and father, but when Zi Qi was born, their mother was not a queen. When their son was born, their mother was a queen, so Zi Qi had the status of the eldest son. .

Of course, later on, he was the one who was so proud that he compared Zi Qi in Emperor Yi's heart.

Bigan is standing up now, just because he doesn't want the royal family to bleed.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang," Donghuang Taiyi said slowly, "Both brothers are talented kings and they should help me, the great merchant, to work together to bring peace to the country."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Bigan felt confident after receiving such an answer. He bowed and took three steps back, turned around and hurried out of the hall.

If he had gone a little later, the attack on Prince Ziqi's mansion might have begun.

In fact, it was not just Donghuang Taiyi who was confused at this moment, most of the courtiers in the palace had not yet come to their senses.

Most of the ministers were recruited into the palace because of the Dongyi rebellion. After entering, they found that the atmosphere in the palace was a bit strange, with a large number of soldiers wearing purple armor guarding the important roads.

After waiting in an anxious atmosphere for a long time, they were told that the king was in bad condition, and were taken to the place where the king was, and witnessed with their own eyes that the king died.

Later, Shang Rong and other ministers stood up and shouted that the new king should be established.

Prince Zishou, who was still "unsleepless for days and nights because he was worried about his father's physical condition and finally passed out from exhaustion," was put on by the palace servants and put on the king's attire, wearing a black robe and a crown. On the throne.

This is all the ministers experienced.

All the steps in this process are one after another. The steps are simple and there are no gaps.

When His Highness Zishou woke up, the ministers in the first two rows led their ministers to worship the king. The new King of Shang had been born.

At this moment, the ministers in the first two rows took the lead again and began to arrange how to conduct funerals, keep vigils, inform merchants and common people, and notify princes to attend the funeral. All the affairs were done in an orderly manner, as if they had been rehearsed many times before.

Corner of the main hall.

Li Ping'an looked at this scene with a smile.

Donghuang Taiyi was already busy and had no time to think about the damage caused by the Transcendents to him.

As for the eldest prince Zi Qi who lost the opportunity to compete for the throne before he could make any reaction...

Li Ping'an just used his celestial sense to appreciate the eldest prince's expression of astonishment, confusion, shock, anger, and fear, and did not do anything more.

The princes also paid attention to attending funerals;

Most of the princes are far away from Chaoge City. Even if they ride the fastest exotic beast, the Soma, and gallop day and night to Chaoge City, they will not be able to catch up with the burial of the late king.

Therefore, just like the Marquis of Xibo, there are protons in Chaoge City, and the great princes who are indeed too far apart are all protons attending the funeral of the late king as a representative of the prince's mansion.

Participating in the funeral of the late king meant that Chaoge City recognized the proton's future inheritance rights.

Li Ping'an didn't pay much attention to such a trivial matter at first, but later it caused some unpleasantness.

His attention now is actually outside Chaoge City.

Zi Shou has become Emperor Xin;

The Great Tribulation has once again taken a giant step forward;

If I flirt with the teacher again, what kind of reaction will my teacher make?

Li Ping'an felt a little more hopeful in his heart.

Keep moving!

…

Sea of ​​Chaos, in the secret realm opened by Old Man Wanri.

"The battle for the mortal throne is really interesting."

Taoist Zheyun looked at the Chaoge City Palace shown in the cloud mirror and couldn't help but admire:

"Our Majesty the Emperor of Heaven effortlessly excluded that eldest prince from the chessboard.

“The eldest prince spent more than ten years planning and contacted so many generals and ministers, but in the end it was useless.

"Could it be that Li Jing was arranged by Emperor Li Tian to go to Nanzhou to do what he did today?"

Old Man Wanri shook his head with a smile: "No, Li Jing is an important figure in the Great Tribulation of the Gods. He arranged for Li Jing to enter Nanzhou, probably because he wanted to gain more initiative in the Great Tribulation."

Taoist Hongjun said slowly: "Li Ping'an also has some inconsistencies in his actions. He doesn't want the catastrophe to happen, so why did he make such arrangements?"

"Is it a contradiction? Not necessarily."

The old man said warmly:

"If the catastrophe can be prevented from happening, that would naturally be the best. If the catastrophe can be prevented from happening, that would be the best policy.

"But what if they can't stop it? Taking enough initiative in the catastrophe is the middle strategy.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist my plan if he takes the initiative, so he is prepared to fail if it doesn't work. This is the last resort.

"It's not like you can only choose one of the three strategies: upper, middle and lower. He is executing them all."

Taoist Hongjun clicked his tongue, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was slightly meaningful: "In this case, I should congratulate fellow Taoist in advance for achieving my wish and eliminating the variables."

"Oh, Taiyichi has become Emperor Xin, why do I feel a little unsure in my heart?"

The old man Wanri frowned slightly and quietly stared at the picture presented in the cloud mirror, his eyes flickering slightly.

He murmured:

"Sometimes I don't want to lie to them, especially to this only disciple. The hundreds of years I spent with him are quite precious memories for me.

“But it would be too troublesome to explain many things clearly.

"It's better to leave it like this...I'm a little worried now that Taiyi may leave my side."

Hongjun said calmly: "It's not about leaving fellow Taoist, it's about breaking away from fellow Taoist's control, right?"

Taoist Zheyun explained warmly from the side: "Fellow Taoist, you worry too much. How much Taiyi respects fellow Taoist."

"No, no, no, you don't understand the humanity here."

The old man said with a smile:

“He treated me with respect and respect, and that respect, no matter how long it lasted, was just respect.

"But once he falls in love with a woman, like the nine-tailed fox Zhichu, he will soon fall into the gentle land of the nine-tailed fox. This kind of feeling can overwhelm him as long as it lasts for a long time. respect for me.

"Besides this, there is another thing, and that is the so-called close friends. A scholar will die for his close friends, and Taiyi happens to have such a temperament.

"The Chaos Clock really posed a big problem for me. If she messed it up like this, Ping An would really realize something."

Hongjun calculated with his fingers and raised his eyebrows slightly: "The way of heaven shows that the body of our Majesty the Emperor has moved again."

Wan Ri pointed his finger with a smile, and the cloud mirror in front of him changed again. After shaking several times, a gray cloud appeared.

The gray clouds gradually dissipated, revealing the scene of Li Ping'an walking outside the painting of heaven and earth. He crossed thousands of miles with every step he took, and the slightly trembling scenery outside kept changing.

Finally, Li Pingan stopped and looked down at the place outside the painting.

The old man's smile grew stronger and he slightly narrowed his eyes.

Taoist Hongjun was a little curious when he saw this.

Once the old man shows this expression, it actually means that he is getting serious.

What did Li Pingan realize again?

Hongjun looked carefully at the picture scroll displayed in the cloud mirror. The area Li Pingan arrived at at this moment was...

The main hall of Xuanyuan Mausoleum.

…

Li Ping'an looked at the emaciated back of the female master, and felt a little distressed after all.

In fact, there is no conflict between the two, it is just because of their respective missions and responsibilities.

No matter what, I will give it a try today shamelessly!

Li Ping'an coughed dryly first to remind the female master that he had arrived. After waiting for two breaths, he walked into the room from the corner of the hall and looked at the female master with a smile.

The eldest sister didn’t even look back;

But the voice is still quite gentle.

"Why did Your Majesty come to me suddenly?"

The female demon said softly:

"If there is something urgent, your Majesty can just give the order directly. Now that all the responsibilities here are on Your Majesty, it will be easy for the Queen Mother to be dissatisfied if Your Majesty comes to me."

Li Ping'an and Shi Shiran walked to the nvba's side, took a futon, and placed it next to the nvba.

He just sat down carelessly, turning his head to look at the female slayer's profile.

The female demon looked to the side, but she did not move, as if she acquiesced to him being so close.

Li Pingan knows how to push the envelope.

He raised his hand and pulled the female demon's wrist.

Snapped!

Li Ping'an touched his beaten right hand and smiled nonchalantly: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to get closer to you. You and I can't always be so unfamiliar, right?"

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself."

The female demon lowered her head and sighed:

"This is enough for now. Why do you have to be a Taoist couple? I don't want to separate you from the other two, and you still have to be jealous or something. It's really unpleasant.

"Your Majesty, let's get down to business.

"According to His Majesty's character, he should be here for something important."

Li Ping'an sneered, and then said: "Okay, I'm not here for anything important. I just want to talk to you about the human race."

"Oh," the female slave was obviously unhappy, "What does Your Majesty want to talk about the human race?"

Li Ping'an said: "Xuanyuan Emperor once passed on a secret method to me, saying that this was the human race's last means of counterattack. It was the method he used to condense the human race's essence and turn it into a golden dragon to fight the out-of-control chaotic beast head-on. Law."

The female master looked solemn and nodded slowly: "Did father pass it on to you before? I thought I was the only one who had a share."

"Can you lend me your share?"

Li Pingan's heart moved and he asked softly:

“This matter is extremely important to heaven and earth.

"To be honest, I am currently making plans in Nanzhou. The emperor of the secular Shang Kingdom of Nanzhou has just ascended the throne. His name is Zi Shou and his nickname is Emperor Xin. He is an important part of the Taoist Immortal's God Ceremony.

"You should already know that he also has an identity, Donghuang Taiyi, the son of the Transcendent."

"Um?"

The female master tilted her head slightly: "They have reported it to me, are you plotting against him too?"

"I'm trying to get him to join the camp that resists the Transcendents, and now I have some ideas."

Li Pingan said seriously:

“His lover, his disciple, is now under my control;

“I will continue to operate next to him later on.

"I want to give him this method... I must find a suitable opportunity to let him get this method, and then let him fight against the Transcendent in the name of the Human Emperor.

"As long as we can win him over, our chances of winning in the future will increase by at least 10%."

The female demon thought carefully.

Donghuang Taiyi is the ancient demon emperor. The ancient heaven has caused great harm to the human race. This cannot be explained in a few words.

How can the secret method used only when the human race is in desperate situations be given to the ancient demon emperor?

The female demon looked up at Li Ping'an and saw those clear and expectant eyes.

"Okay," the female master responded softly, "It's a big gamble anyway. If the gamble fails, I will bear the responsibility together with you."

Li Ping'an suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes.

But a certain detached person who was watching this scene had already begun to calculate something with his eyes closed, his expression unusually serious.
