The seasons do not live, the years flow.

While Chi Yao was busy refining the sea of ​​suffering and filling the Dao Fruit, the process of the real world was also advancing in great strides.

In this era of doomsday that everyone knows, there are too many chess pieces laid by those on the other side.

They are either fighting for the Tao Fruit, or they are trying to survive the disaster, or they are seeking revenge, or they are trying to make a comeback...

Everyone has their own purpose, everyone has their own preparations, and these arrangements together push this era forward with an irresistible attitude, unstoppable, and it will be the same without everyone.

On this day, Emperor Zhao Mingyu of the Jin Dynasty was critically ill and he urgently recruited Prince Zhao Heng into the palace.

Before the edict left the imperial city, the news had already been received by many aristocratic families and sects. Suddenly, the city of God was in a turmoil and rain was about to come.

Although many aristocratic families had already compromised when Zhao Heng ascended to the position of prince, the prince is different from the emperor after all. From ancient times to the present, countless princes have been deposed.But once you ascend to the imperial heaven and offer sacrifices to heaven and tell the people, the situation will be different.

A noble family can ignore a prince, but they cannot ignore the emperor's wishes.Not to mention that the former prince Zhao Qian jumped up and down with the Buddhist disciples, hooking up left and right.

The capital of gods, the Cui family's mansion.

As the only family among the nine aristocratic families in the Jin Dynasty that has a person of Dharma height, the Cui family of Pingjin has always been the leader of the family during Cui Qinghe's era. When most families encounter any major issues that are difficult to handle, the first thing they think of is to come to them for discussion. .

Soon, representatives of four or five aristocratic families gathered in Cui Zhai, the capital of the gods. Among them were the princes of the political affairs hall, the chief ministers of various ministries, and even generals. At a glance, their influence could cover almost half of the court.

"Ms. Cui, what should we do?"

Representatives of the Longnan Zhang family, Xiliang Sima family, Hengyuan Zheng family, Langya Ruan family and other aristocratic families are all waiting for Cui Yan's reply.

As vested interests in the Southern Jin Dynasty, they were not the base of Prince Zhao Heng.What makes them even more uncomfortable is that behind Zhao Heng is a huge force that they all find difficult to fight against - the Spark Sect.

This made them a little panicked. The Jin Dynasty only had so many territories and interests. In the past, the aristocratic families were in the court, the sects were in the Jianghu, and the six gates spanned the two realms. Generally speaking, the pattern was that the aristocratic families suppressed the sects.

But if the Spark Sect takes advantage of Zhao Heng's accession to the throne and goes deep into the court, setting a precedent for a sect to enter the court, the family's life will be difficult.

Because whether they are willing to admit it or not, in terms of force, the aristocratic family has always been slightly behind the sect. If they lose the advantage of the court again, will the Southern Jin Dynasty become like the Northern Zhou Dynasty, where the aristocratic family is suppressed and driven by the sect, and it is difficult to breathe?
However, if they want to fight against the Spark Sect, which ranks second on the Heavenly Ranking, without Cui Qinghe, the Aristocratic Family really doesn't have much confidence.Therefore, they came together and asked Cui for advice in a low profile.

As the chief of the political affairs hall, Cui Yan smiled bitterly. To be honest, even with Cui Qinghe behind him, it was the first time in so many years that he had enjoyed the treatment of being praised by all the stars. Normally, these bastards would only give him various things. Kind of disruptive.

Only now can he be called the true leader of a noble family!
Unfortunately, since the battle with the Demon King, Cui Qinghe has warned all senior members of the family not to make enemies of the Spark Cult.

People under the Dharma Body may not be able to see it, but as a human immortal, Cui Qinghe can feel the terrifying aura from Chi Yao every time that makes him feel frightened. The gap between the two parties is not obvious at a glance, but he also knows it in his heart.

That is a powerful enemy that must not be provoked!
And as a dharma body, Cui Qinghe is also confident that even if the Spark Sect takes over the court, he can guarantee the interests of the Pingjin Cui family.After all, the Southern Jin Dynasty was so big, could Chi Yao eat it all in one bite?So he didn't care at all about these anxious so-called allies. After all, they were said to be an alliance of aristocratic families, but when had the interests of the nine aristocratic families been truly unified?
Even because of the emergence of Cui Qinghe, in order to prevent the Cui family from becoming dominant in Pingjin, the other eight aristocratic families in the Southern Jin Dynasty had a tacit understanding. They often joined forces to restrict the Cui family and vaguely formed an anti-Cui alliance, which made the Cui family Very unhappy too.

Oh, now do you think of Cui?
Humph, it’s too late!

Cui Yan sat upright with his eyes closed, his hands folded in his sleeves, just listening to the chatter of representatives of various companies, sneering in his heart, without making any statement.

"Brother Cui, please tell me something! You are the leader of aristocratic families. This is a major matter related to the fundamental interests of all aristocratic families. You have to make a statement, right?"

The representatives of each family argued for a long time, but seeing that Cui Yan remained indifferent, they finally couldn't help but press for a question.

It's a pity that Cui Yan will not be fooled by their words. When he relies on us to fight for his interests, he talks about the family community. After reading this article, he joins forces to oppose Cui and treats us as fools?

He opened his eyes leisurely and said calmly under the gaze of everyone: "Pingjin Cui family will always be loyal to the emperor. We will support whoever your majesty chooses to succeed you. This loyalty can be demonstrated every day!"

'Pooh! '*N
As soon as he said these words, all the representatives of the aristocratic families present spat in their hearts.

Do you want to be so shameless? !
You can still show your loyalty every day. Do you think we don’t understand what a noble family is?
To put it bluntly, there is no essential difference between aristocratic families and the royal family. Everyone is the ruling class of the dynasty, and the royal family is just the family with the most resources.Who are you talking about? !

The Zhao family in the divine capital took the lead in wiping out the Kang Dynasty, and that was how the Southern Jin royal family became today.In other words, before the royal family became the royal family, they were the leaders of the family.

But as a family, their development will eventually be limited, after all, there are still people above them.If you work hard and become a royal family, the world will be brighter, but the disadvantage is that there is no way out.

As dynasties change, many aristocratic families survive, but few people know about the royal family of the previous dynasty that was not wiped out.

This is the ultimate fight and the last stand.

For other aristocratic families, it is enough to have one royal family over their head. They don't need a second leader to overwhelm them, otherwise it would be too frustrating, right?
This is why the eight major families often join forces to restrict the Cui family.

But in this world, force is still respected. When the critical moment comes, they still have to turn to Cui Qinghe for help.

Unfortunately, Cui Qinghe had already seen the current situation clearly and was not deceived by the temporary fake stars. He firmly maintained the correct position of supporting the emperor, leaving many aristocratic families helpless.

But Cui Qinghe is sober and rational enough, which does not mean that others are like him.

For example, the former prince Zhao Qian and the Buddhist masters behind him.

The establishment of an earthly Buddhist kingdom is a major means for Buddhism to prepare for the end of the world. It is impossible to give up easily while there is still hope. What's more, Zhao Qian's identity is not ordinary. The Buddhist energy he can mobilize far exceeds that of everyone. Imagine. (End of chapter)
