Taisu Kingdom, outside Xuanshenjing, about 11,000 leagues away from Lichen Mountain, south of Xuanshui River, Emperor Yuanping, the leader of Taisu Kingdom, stood on the newly renovated bronze crane platform, looking at the place below him with satisfaction. , that beautifully decorated garden. "Yes, yes. The Li Qing family is indeed a master of gardening, and this Bronze Crane Terrace is what I like. I found the right person to take charge of the renovation of the Tonghe Terrace." It seems that he is indeed satisfied, Emperor Yuanping's face There was a red tide on the top: "Passing a decree and commendation, Li Qing, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is planning to take over as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry after the new year. The current Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Yuan Xiu, also has the merit of mediating this time, and can be moved to another position on the right, and there are others "The many ministers and eunuch attendants who were following him all smiled when they heard this, and immediately some people from Zhongshushe went to write the official edict. However, among the people accompanying him, although there were a dozen or so people who looked happy, there were also a few who looked calm. The Tonghe Tower was built in the past when Taizu of the Taisu Dynasty was in his prime. Before Taizu became emperor, he defeated millions of troops from the Northern Xuan Kingdom in the north. When Banshi returned to the court, he passed south of the Xuan River. One day, he stayed in Xuanshan Mountain at night and saw golden light rising from the ground. The next day he excavated and found a bronze crane. So some ministers said that in the past, Hao's mother dreamed of a jade crane entering her arms and gave birth to Shang Hao, and this 'Shang Hao' was the sixth generation emperor of the past. When Taizu heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he decided to build the Bronze Bird Tower on Xuanshui to demonstrate its role in pacifying the four seas. When the Tonghe Tower was first built, it was magnificent and majestic, but the Emperor Taizu was frugal by nature. , and it was time to pacify the world, so it didn¡¯t cost much money. The entire Tonghe Terrace only has more than 200 Guangsha rooms. But the successive emperors of the Taisu Dynasty liked the beautiful scenery here and the warm spring-like winter, so it could be used as a place to escape the cold. The Bronze Crane Tower has been expanded several times, and now it has become a palace with an area of ??more than a thousand miles and 300,000 luxurious houses, which can accommodate the entire Taisu court and all civil and military officials. There are more than 400 large and small courtyards, countless hunting grounds, and nearly a thousand hot springs. It can be said to be the ultimate luxury. The Tonghe Terrace was last renovated fifty years ago, so it can still be used for hundreds of years. However, Emperor Yuanping insisted on repairing and expanding the palace despite all opinions, and did not hesitate to spend money from the treasury for this purpose. He reprimanded several ministers for this. Therefore, in the eyes of those upright ministers, this move wastes people and money, consumes national power, and is an act of foolishness. He even regarded the superiors and supervisors of the Ministry of Works as traitors. Today, the Tonghe Tower was completed. Those two people were promoted to high-ranking positions, but I don¡¯t know how much people¡¯s fat and money were wasted? How many corpses of civilians were buried under this magnificent palace? "Congratulations to Your Majesty, your twenty-year wish has been fulfilled today!" An old man with a white beard among the ministers joked with a smile: "It's a double happiness. In a few days, I'm afraid there will be no more in this world. Lichen Sect. If we can take back those Taoist temples in the outer areas of the country, then your majesty¡¯s achievements will be comparable to those of the previous emperors of our Taisu Dynasty, and our country will be rejuvenated.¡± Emperor Yuan Ping heard this! , couldn't help but smile more and more, and for a moment I just felt high-spirited. He put his hands behind his hands and looked eastward and said: "I faced those immortal cultivators, relying on Lichen as my support, and they broke the law and banned the law. I and all the late emperors have suffered for a long time. That's right. Those Taoist temples in the fields were also the fault of our previous emperors, and they occupied nearly 10% of our land. However, because of the power of the Lichen Sect, they never dared to act rashly, refused to pay the land tax, and were not controlled. Several imperial ancestors died in depression. It would be the best if they could get their wish this time. By the way, what is the situation of Lichen Mountain now? Tao Zun and Shantideva did not know whether they could successfully manage Lichen Mountain. Take it?" "After all, I'm still a little worried. If I can't take the Li Chen Mountain successfully, Tai Suchao may not be able to withstand the crazy revenge of the Li Chen Sect. They said that there would be definite news within fifteen days, but now it is already the tenth day. "Father, there is no need to worry. News came from there not long ago, saying that Li Chen can no longer hold on. If the Xuanbi Immortal King does not return, then within one day at most, the entire Li Chen Sect will be wiped out. "Tu Jue." The person who answered was the accompanying Third Prince Yan Wang Li Longxian. He smiled quite relaxedly and replied: "This battle was not only fought by the two Buddhas Xuande and Buddhism, it is said that the Red Fire State of Antarctica also participated. . Several Taoist ancestors joined forces to suppress it, and more than a dozen Daluo worked together. The Lichen Sect was an enemy of a quarter of the world. How could it be invincible? Then Yuan Guoshi also asked his ministers to convey it, and he would definitely not disappoint His Majesty. Disappointed. I think my father will know the good news in the next two days. " He had been imprisoned for a period of time due to the Li Chen Sect's prosecution. Not only was he thin, but his face was also slightly pale, as if he was about to collapse in the wind. . Emperor Yuan Ping felt quite distressed when he saw this, knowing that his beloved son had actually suffered on behalf of others. However, after hearing this, he still smiled dumbly and said: "Won't you let me down? It's better not to let him down." Yuan Guoshi and?The Lichen Sect has often had grudges, but has tolerated them many times. This time it is necessary to go all out in the attack on Lichen. " Hearing what King Yan Li Longxian said, he felt a little more at peace in his heart. Indeed, this time the four Taoist ancestors are in charge, how can they be invincible? Even if the Lichen Sect is not captured, Taisu **** has this With some powerful help, the losses afterwards should not be too heavy. Thinking that the thorn in his heart would be removed soon, he felt extremely happy in his heart. And it's not just the Imperial Master Yuan Wenshu alone? "By the way, Long Chan, you just said that if Xuanbi doesn't return, Lichen Mountain will definitely fall within one or two days. But he didn't say what will happen after Xuan Bi returns? "Although he is the emperor of a country and the lord of the mortal world, he also knows the reputation of the Xuanbi Great Immortal, and he also knows how terrifying the 'Taixiao Zhoutian Wheel' is. "There is no need to worry about this! Shantideva has long been prepared. If the Xuanbi Great Immortal does not return, it will be fine. There is still a glimmer of hope for the Lichen lineage. But if he really threatens the 'Taixiao Zhou Tianlun' to return to Lichen, he will definitely suffer a big loss. Perhaps Li Chen's last hope of inheriting the Taoist tradition will be cut off. " Li Longxian coughed lightly before continuing: "And the Tathagata has said that even if his plan fails, we can calmly clip his wings first. If the Li Chen Sect had no minions and only three great figures sitting in charge, it would be of no help. If it lingers on, it can only last for several thousand years in Tiandong. The Buddhist sect, Phoenix Ancestor and Xuande Taoist Master have also promised to ensure that I, Tai Suchao, will be safe and sound. With this promise, I, Tai Su, will be able to live in peace for hundreds of thousands of years. " Emperor Yuanping couldn't help but nodded slightly with satisfaction, but at this moment, one of the many ministers in the rear suddenly stepped out of the queue. "I don't agree with what King Yan said! Your Majesty's move is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house. The Lichen Sect has made great contributions to our royal family. Although its vassal Dao Sect has repeatedly violated the prohibition, it has no major faults. I turned against him and was suspected of betrayal. And if you join forces with the demon clan, you may be able to benefit for a while, but you can only fear that it will cause endless disasters in the future. " Emperor Yuan Ping was stunned for a moment, looked sideways, and then narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a bit of sternness. The person who made this strange statement was Li Chunchen, the concubine of the left. He couldn't help but subconsciously look in the direction of the prince again. Sweeping it over. The so-called Zuo Shuzi is the chief officer of Zuo Chunfang of the East Palace Zhanshi Mansion. He is responsible for cashiering the prince's orders, advising and advising the prime minister, and is one of the most important wings under the prince's command. Therefore, Emperor Yuanping instinctively thought that this was the prince's envoy. He was dissatisfied with the fact that King Yan Li Longxian was favored by him, and that the miraculous power of cutting off Lichen was obtained by King Yan. However, when Emperor Yuanping looked over, he saw the prince Li Long. Jia had a look of panic and surprise on his face, and his hands and feet were at a loss. It looked like Zuo Shuzi was really making a decision. Emperor Yuanping still snorted coldly. He was so timid and unreasonable. How can a man like this be worthy of being the king of a country? He didn't bother to reprimand the prince, but turned his gaze back to the concubine Zuo: "This is strange, I would like to hear it, how did I lure the wolf into the house? How to betray one's trust? What disaster can be left behind? "The words were low and murderous, making all the ministers here shudder. Li Chunchen gave Emperor Yuanping a determined look, then his eyelids drooped and his expression was dead. He knelt down and bowed to the ground, and then said: "I just want to ask, after expelling the Lichen Sect, wouldn't the Buddhist and Nanhai sects privately store Lingtian mineral veins? Wouldn't it be possible to use magic to ban people? Mahayana Buddhism has a deep foundation and great plans. Almost half of the Yuanhuang Divine State in Western Heaven has been transformed into a Buddhist kingdom. As for Xuande Taoist Master, he has always acted arrogantly and arrogantly, causing the South China Sea to be filled with smoke and making life difficult for the people. After destroying one Lichen Sect, two more jackals were invited. Isn't this inviting wolves into the house? I believe that in the future, the disciples from the three islands of the South China Sea will be even more arrogant and domineering than Li Chen is today. As for betrayal, I heard that when Taizu founded the country in the past, he received help from Lichen several times. There were two major disasters before and after my dynasty, and three major demon disasters. It was only with the help of Li Chen that we were able to turn the crisis around. Such a great virtue, but there is no repayment in our court. Now, not only is he ungrateful, he actually does this to his benefactor. Li Chen showed no guilt, but our court sent a large army to attack. I'm afraid that if word of this comes out, people in the world will become cold-blooded because of my actions. As for the remaining disasters, the Golden Crow Clan of the Great Sun rebuilt the royal court, and the Purple Sun State of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty fell, leaving me with no barrier to the east. I'm afraid that in the future, the East China Sea will be subject to constant disputes, and the monster clan will be as troubled as the North Sea. " Emperor Yuan Ping's complexion became even more livid, and his right hand was trembling slightly. King Yan Li Longxian also had a cold expression, but at this time he smiled and said: "Zuo Shuzi's words are wrong. The Xuande Taoist Master and the Mahayana Buddhism are indeed powerful. Yes, they do have their own plans for the land of Tiandong. However, precisely because of this, there will definitely be conflicts between these two families in the future. Wouldn't it be more convenient for our government to check and balance? Lichen was kind to my Taisu country, but I can repay it with all the honors and honors I have received over the years. todayWhat happened was that Li Chen's disciples didn't know how to restrain themselves, and they didn't care about their luck, so they brought disaster upon themselves! It is said that those who are unjust have few helpers, and our actions are just to follow the crowd. As for the Great Sun Golden Crow clan rebuilding the royal court, if the demon clan to the east really wants to cause trouble in China, how can Taoist Xuande and Mahayana Buddhism sit back and watch in the future? " He spoke softly, and with every word he spoke, Emperor Yuan Ping's expression softened a little. The surrounding ministers and eunuchs also agreed and smiled one after another. Li Chunchen was not persuaded, but He smiled with a smile, his eyes full of ridicule: "Of course! "
