Lord God: Times have changed

Chapter 404

Aristocratic families, with the family as the foundation and blood as the bond, have been going on for thousands of years.

This type of power began to take shape from the Han Dynasty to the peak of the Tang Dynasty.

However, just because it reached its peak, the power of the aristocratic family was feared by the imperial court, and has been continuously weakened by the imperial court since then.

In the Song Dynasty, although the aristocratic family still existed, it was far less powerful than in the Tang Dynasty.

And the time Li Shimin was in, because the world was initially determined, and the monarch's control over the place had not been restored due to the war, it was the time when the aristocratic family was the most powerful.

People often say that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, but in this era, it can even be said that the imperial power does not go to the city!
Especially in the city where the five surnames and Qiwang are located, to put it bluntly, the imperial decree is not as good as their words.

But in this world of high martial arts, strength is the foundation of the strongest power. Most of the sacred objects in the land of China are controlled by various aristocratic families.

Although there are strong and weak holy objects, even the weakest holy object can at least give people a [-]% increase in power.

Of course, even though they have holy objects in their hands, the top powerhouses of these aristocratic families are still not as good as the team of Datang.

Otherwise, it would not be Li Shimin who became the emperor, but someone else.

The power limit set by this world for human beings is not so easy to reach. Although Li Shimin, Qin Qiong and the other four have already reached this level, it is actually because they are attracted by luck. Only with the help of others can we successfully reach this realm.

Others, even if they are excellent geniuses with five surnames and seven Wangs who spent a lot of resources to cultivate, none of them can reach the level of human limit.

Not to mention the four of Li Shimin, even Cheng Yaojin, if he went to any family of the five surnames and Qiwang, he would be able to sweep away the family with his own force.

To deal with him, Wu Xing Qiwang must invite out the sacred objects enshrined in the family.

Some people may say that since they are not strong enough, they must invite the sacred objects to fight, so they should simply invite the sacred objects!
But the reason why holy things are enshrined by people is because people must continue to offer them in order to exert the power of holy things.

Every time a holy object is invited to fight, it needs to consume the power of offerings accumulated in the daily life, so no matter what level of holy object it is, it cannot fight for a long time.

Moreover, Li Shimin's family is also one of the five surnames and seven wangs. The family enshrines a "Seven Star Dragon Yuan" sword. Although it is not the top sacred object, because it is an attacking type, it brings a considerable increase in combat power. big.

This sacred object, combined with the ultimate strength of human beings, can beat even a half-holy one.

In this way, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, and Li Jing, the three extremely strong human beings, as well as Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji and many other existences who have not reached the human limit, but are equally powerful and terrifying, can suppress all warlords and suppress Live with five surnames and seven Wangs, and win the position of the lord of the world.

Having said that, the five surnames Qiwang didn't like to see Li Shimin very much.

In addition, after ascending the throne, Li Shimin also gradually realized the influence of the five surnames and seven wangs on the world and on his own rights. Therefore, in recent decades, the power of the five surnames and seven wangs has been weakened intentionally or unintentionally, making the relationship between the two parties not very good.

That's why I was so upset when I heard that a holy object was needed to deal with the giant witch Taeken.

But hearing Changsun Wuji's reminder, Li Shimin suddenly came to his senses.

Don't worry about this at all!
He has indeed been constantly weakening the influence of Wu Xing Qi Wang, but also considering the power of Wu Xing Qi Wang, these years have been soft knives to cut flesh, and he has been doing it slowly.

Even sometimes, they will suffer some losses, allowing the five surnames and seven Wangs to take advantage.

The two sides are fighting in secret.

But if the ruler is replaced by the First Emperor Yingzheng.

Haha, let alone a secret confrontation, directly encircled and suppressed by a large army, it is tough in the open!

And in terms of strength, Daqin is stronger.

The giant witch Taiken, the first emperor Yingzheng, and the god of war Wang Jian, three strong men beyond human limits exist.

The strength of the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty can overwhelm the five surnames and seven kings, but facing these three strong men, I am afraid that they can only deal with one and a half of them.

If they collapsed and only five surnames and seven Wangs were left, they would definitely lose.

Therefore, the best choice for the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs is to support them, and the two sides will work together to eliminate the power of Daqin, and then play slowly with each other.

If they don't cooperate, both parties will die, there is no other possibility!

Therefore, the most urgent task at the moment is to invite the five surnames Qiwang and all other family heads who own holy objects to Chang'an.

Let them all see the situation in Xianyang City clearly, and let them understand the danger that the world is facing at this moment.

Otherwise, people would never believe what they just said, and they might even suspect that Li Shimin was designing it.

Li Shimin immediately issued an order, and even asked his strong men to make a move, so he didn't need to ride a horse, and flew over directly.

Turning around, Li Shimin looked at Zhou Ming and said, "Master Qingfeng, do you think this is okay?"

"This method is wonderful."

Zhou Ming nodded.

"Does the Taoist have any other ideas?"

Zhou Mingdao: "The so-called masters are among the people. In the face of such a crisis, His Majesty might as well issue a recruitment list and invite those masters who are hidden among the people to deal with this matter together."

"Folk master?"

Li Shimin didn't quite believe it was useful.

Because the enemies I faced this time were too high-end, three enemies who surpassed the limits of human beings and reached the holy level.

This is too powerful.

There may be masters in the folk, but it is basically impossible to participate in this matter.

Think about it, even at the level of the human limit, one must rely on strong luck to be able to cultivate successfully.

Even among the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, they couldn't find anyone whose strength was comparable to Cheng Yaojin's.

That ordinary person, how powerful qualifications are needed to have the strength to participate in this matter.

But when he thought about it again, he felt like he was a little cornered.

What they are facing is not three masters, but a huge force centered on three saint-level beings. In addition to the three saint-level beings, there are many masters and more than [-] terracotta warriors.

The recruited folk masters may not be able to participate in the top battles, but they can also deal with the strong below.

If it doesn't work, it's no problem to fight a few terracotta warriors and horses.

In fact, Zhou Ming didn't think that there would be any masters from the people. The reason why he let Li Shimin do this was to find other reincarnations.

It's not that they need their help, but that they don't help.

A group of reincarnators with different minds, even if they have the same goal, may pit each other under the circumstances of their respective actions.

Recruiting them all here and obeying their command will naturally prevent this from happening.

In addition, other reincarnations do have the strength to help him.

But these reasons, Zhou Ming did not explain clearly to Li Shimin.

On the one hand, it is not clear, on the other hand, it is because it is not needed.

Li Shimin, and even the entire Tang Dynasty, in this operation, only need to obey his orders and assist him.

I just had a fight with Li Shimin and the others, but it can only be regarded as a brief confrontation, so I can get a general understanding.

Besides, when people from five surnames Qiwang and other aristocratic families arrive later, I am afraid they will also have objections to his command.

"At that time, let's put a bigger one."

Zhou Ming thought.

"I will immediately order people to place a list of talents."

Li Shimin said: "Does the Taoist priest have anything else to say?"

Zhou Mingdao: "No more. Please Your Majesty arrange a residence for Pindao. Before this matter is resolved, Pindao still needs to settle here."

"Of course, I'm in the palace and cleared out a palace for the Taoist priest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Ming saluted, and said: "Before the arrival of the holy object, please do not send anyone to Xianyang City for the time being, so as not to startle the snake."

Li Shimin said: "This is natural."

The last time I tried it briefly, it turned out that the enemy was too strong, and it scared him all of a sudden.

I haven't dared to do anything these days.

Although everyone knew in their hearts that the opposite side hadn't made any moves in the past few days, there must be something that got in the way.

If you give them time, after they sort things out, it's going to be bad.

But Li Shimin had no choice, because they needed more time than those resurrected on the other side of the Weishui River.

The enemy is strong and we are weak, so a sneak attack that takes advantage of others' danger will directly turn into a surprise attack after the sneak attack, and eventually kill yourself.

Even without Zhou Ming's reminder, he would not do such a stupid thing.

After saying the last sentence, Zhou Ming didn't stay here any longer, he turned around and left, and Li Shimin immediately sent someone to follow.

After he left, everyone gathered together, their gazes fell slightly on Li Shimin's face, trying to read his emotions.

But Li Shimin was really calm, and said: "Stop standing here, go to work quickly. Pharmacist, you stay in Chang'an City, Jingde, you go to the dealer, Shubao, you go to the Kong's house, please The heads of the two families came with holy objects."

"Yes."

Pharmacist is Li Jing's nickname.

Respect for morality is Yuchi Gongde's expression.

Shubao, of course, is Qin Qiong's nickname.

Li Shimin invited Qiwang of five surnames and other families, and the people they sent were all ordinary people, but when they went to the dealer, the two families of the Kong family sent two of the only four extreme human beings in the world today. , naturally because these two families are important.

Regardless of how well-known the five surnames and Qiwang are, the thousand-year-old family has a profound heritage, but in the final analysis, it was only the beginning of the Han Dynasty.

In the land of Shenzhou, if you say that there are no families that surpass them in terms of power, but in terms of background, there are so few families that surpass the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.

It's just that with the passage of time, the development is not smooth, so in terms of power, it is weaker than them.

But the bottom line is still there.

Among them, the strongest background is naturally the sacred objects left by the ancestors!
It was this kind of family that Li Shimin specially asked the two generals to invite.

Among them, the banker is the Taoist sage after Zhuangzi.There is a Liangyi jade pendant enshrined in the house. It was originally just an ordinary jade pendant, which was carried by Zhuangzi, but later Zhuangzi went on a "happy excursion". jade pendant.

Such a coincidence is rare in the world.

Later, Zhuangzi specially warmed and nourished the jade pendant, so that the power in it continued to increase, and finally turned into a holy object.

Later, Zhuangzi ascended to the throne, so the jade pendant remained.

The other Confucian family is naturally after Confucius, the founder of Confucianism.

The sword of Confucius is enshrined in his home.

Unlike Zhuangzi, the sword of Confucius followed Confucius to the north and south, and it gradually became a sacred object after absorbing the power of Confucius under the influence of a long time.

After Confucius ascended, the sword remained.

In addition, the Confucius family also has a volume of "The Analects of Confucius", which was made by many disciples of Confucius after Confucius ascended.

There are many disciples of Confucius, many of whom are sub-sages, and even dozens of semi-sages. The "Analects" created by them together has become a holy object the moment it was born.

These three are the three strongest holy objects on the land of Shenzhou.

In comparison, the sacred objects enshrined by the five surnames and Qiwang are still one level behind.

Of course, the strongest holy relic in the land of China right now does not mean the strongest in history. The land of China has a history of thousands of years, and there are countless holy relics, and these three are not yet ranked.

Among other things, there were several sacred objects created by Confucius back then, and the sword of Confucius that remained was only one of the weaker ones.The others all ascended with Confucius.

Lao Tzu, a Taoist sage back then, also had many sacred objects, which were extremely powerful, but none of them survived, and all of them went to the God Realm with Lao Tzu.

In addition, there are Fuxi Eight Diagrams, Xuanyuan Sword, and Kyushu Ding, all of which are extremely powerful sacred objects.But these sacred objects are all by the master's side, either hidden in the cave, or in the God Realm, so there is no need to count on them at all.

"With the strength of the four of us, holding the sacred object, maybe we can turn it around and crush the opponent?"

Li Shimin thought well, but within a few hours, Yu Chigong came back with bad news.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. Two days ago, the dealer was attacked by unknown forces. Please take out the Liangyi jade pendant. Although the enemy has been repelled, the power of offerings in the Liangyi jade pendant has also been exhausted!"

"what!"

Li Shimin was shocked, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Not long after, Qin Qiong also returned to the palace, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the Kong family was attacked by an unknown strongman five days ago, and the current head of the Kong family fell. Later, I asked the 'Analects of Confucius' and the 'Sword of Confucius' to repel it." Enemy, the 'Analects of Confucius' is exhausted, and the 'Sword of Confucius' still has some power left, but it can only last for 2 minutes at most."

After that, bad news came one after another.

"Your Majesty, Fan Yang Lu's three days ago..."

"Taiyuan Wang's yesterday..."

"Qinghe Cui family seven days ago..."

Hearing the news of these feedbacks, Li Shimin was shocked to find that most of the families enshrining sacred objects in the whole world have encountered unknown attacks.

The five surnames and Qiwang, and the Zhuang and Kong families are the first to bear the brunt.

However, the holy relic is an important heritage of the major families, and once it is used, it often takes decades of offerings to restore it. Therefore, all the families that were attacked will hide the news on their own to avoid being known by other families.

If it wasn't for the fact that the people Li Shimin sent out were all first-class strong men, who were intimidating, I am afraid that these aristocratic families would not have told them about the matter.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid..." Changsun Wuji was called over as early as the beginning, and his face sank when he heard the reports.

Li Shimin sighed, turned to Qin Qiong and said, "Shubao, hurry up and invite Daoist Qingfeng!"
