Missy, she always does not seek to make progress 2

It is impossible to take back the military power for Emperor Qianning, but they can recover some of the debts.

So, Feng Xiu threw an IOU with the imperial seal on it to Emperor Qianning. He didn't want more than what his grandfather owed him, so five million taels would be enough.

Emperor Qianning's face changed, but it was impossible for him to pay back the money. He just made an excuse that the treasury was empty and there was no money on deposit. He was a deadbeat!

However, since Feng Xiu is asking for a debt, is that negotiable?
It's impossible. Don't even think about being a deadbeat in front of him.

He did not bother with the national treasury, but quietly emptied the private treasury of Emperor Qianning. A total of five million taels of genuine treasures of equal value were all swept away by him.

When the eunuch who was guarding the private vault came stumbling over to deliver the message, Emperor Qianning instantly lost his composure and stared at Feng Xiu.

"It is only natural that a son should pay his father's debts and a debtor should pay it back." Feng Xiu said, "I don't care about silver or anything like that. Anything of equal value will do."

Originally, he didn't care about the money with the royal family, but Emperor Qianning was so suicidal, so he had to peel off a layer of skin from him to teach the naughty boy a lesson and take away the things he cared about.

Feng Xiu even burned the IOU in front of Emperor Qianning and said, "Well, it's all written off."

Before leaving, Qin Liuxi said, "Being diligent in government and caring for the people was the only way you could change your fate. What a pity." She then looked at Concubine Gu, who was lying on the side with her eyelids trembling, and said, "Don't grant marriage to the Qin family. They have a tough life."

With me, life will be strong!

Emperor Qianning was angry but dared not say anything. He watched them carrying the long-browed Taoist away. After a while, he smashed things in the hall and said, "Someone come."

The chief eunuch stepped forward tremblingly to do his duty.

"Go tell the Imperial Observatory and the Minister of Works to tear down the temple for me." Emperor Qianning was furious and said, "Tell Prime Minister Lin and Marquis Ding'an..."

Qin Liuxi and Feng Xiu stood at the palace gate, looked back and saw the dragon energy dissipating. They looked up at the sky again and saw dark clouds rolling.

It's going to change.

When they returned to the Qin residence, Qin Mingyan came up to them and said, "Saint, are you making things difficult for me? If it's because of the Qin family, I don't have to care about it, and I don't have to get involved in this cause and effect."

Qin Liuxi raised an eyebrow: "That so-called Concubine Gu wanted to marry the daughter of the Qin family, but you refused. Now Qi Mingjing wants to grant the marriage."

Qin Mingyan's face darkened, and he said, "The Gu family has become even more arrogant and domineering than the Meng family because of a concubine. The Gu family boy appears to be a gentleman, but in fact he is dissolute. He even visits prostitutes. The girls of our Qin family may not be famous, but they are all well-educated and will never fall into such a trap."

"What if the marriage is granted?"

Qin Mingyan said, "Sister, you don't know that our Qin family has a red book and iron certificate, which was given by Emperor Kangping, but it has not been publicized. So you don't have to worry about the Qin family. At most, you can just take out the red book and iron certificate."

Qin Liuxi didn't expect Qi Qian to give the Qin family such a treasure. He smiled and said, "He doesn't dare to grant the marriage. Don't worry. The Qin family has a good family tradition. Thank you for your trouble."

"I dare not disappoint my elder sister, and I dare not lose her face."

Qin Liuxi stared at him for a while, then suddenly reached out his hand, touched his head, and said, "You're old."

Qin Mingyan's nose was sore, and he said in a low voice: "We have waited for you for many years. Fortunately, we have finally come. It doesn't matter if you are old. As long as you are willing to come back, that's good."

Qin Liuxi asked him to go down and rest, then called over the Taoist priest Changmei and asked him about the offering.

Taoist Long Eyebrows replied respectfully, "Nowadays, spiritual energy is abundant. Those who have entered the Dao and have talent have increased their cultivation rapidly. Even when drawing talismans, the success rate is higher than before. But if humans can practice, other spiritual creatures and monsters can naturally do so as well."

As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Xiu cautiously.

Feng Xiu said calmly: "Look at what I do, as long as you don't mess with me, I'm a good monster. We are all common people in this world. Humans can practice, monsters can practice, ghosts can practice, and we can fight. If monsters harm people, people will hunt monsters. This is also the way for common people to survive. Similarly, if monsters have no intention of harming people, but cannot resist people's greed, then you can't blame the monsters for fighting back. The strong prey on the weak, and it happens everywhere."

Taoist Long Eyebrows smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant is that the current Dahuan, with the revival of spiritual energy, is actually more dangerous than before. Just like what the Monster King said, if a monster transforms into a human, ordinary people have no idea whether it is a human or a monster. In this world, people are divided into good and bad, and the same is true for monsters. If you encounter a bad monster, an ordinary person without Taoism will be a fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered. So some wealthy and powerful families have somehow started to offer sacrifices to it, just like offering sacrifices to a guardian deity, to protect their homes and people."

Seeing Qin Liuxi was silent, Feng Xiu said, "Times have changed."

Qin Liuxi nodded, looked at the Taoist with long eyebrows, and said, "Since you know the worshippers, do you know what their cultivation levels are? Foundation Building? Even you haven't even touched the threshold of Foundation Building, but you were summoned by Emperor Qianning. It shows that among those he could find, you are considered to be one of the ones with high cultivation levels. What about the others?"

Taoist Long Eyebrows sneered: "Of course he is not as good as the Immortal Lord."

"It's not that he is not as good as me, he is a truly powerful person who will not be trapped by the secular world. Since he can be the family's offering, if he comes up with a secular matter and asks you to help solve it, will you help?"

Since Taoist Changmei didn't say anything, we naturally had to help him. After all, the cause and effect had been determined. It didn't make sense for you to receive offerings and resources from others but not do anything about it. That would backfire on you according to the cause and effect.

"If you are trapped by the secular world, you will not be able to practice wholeheartedly. You also know that now that spiritual energy has revived, anyone with a predestined relationship with Taoism can practice Taoism, no matter if they are human, demon, ghost or monster. There are many people whose cultivation is stronger than yours. Why are they not worshipped by the aristocratic families? Are they unworthy?" The Taoist with long eyebrows was stunned. How could that be possible? Of course they were disdainful.

Thinking of this, he stiffened slightly.

Qin Liuxi saw that he had figured it out, and said calmly: "It's not that they are unworthy, it's that they would rather wait for an opportunity."

The Taoist with long eyebrows changed his expression.

Qin Liuxi looked at the spiritual energy in the air. It was not particularly pure, but it was indeed more abundant than before. He said, "For thousands of years, no one in Buddhism has ascended to heaven because the spiritual energy is becoming increasingly scarce and it is difficult to improve one's cultivation. Now that the spiritual energy is reviving, will it be possible to ascend to heaven in time?"

She retracted her gaze and looked at the Taoist with long eyebrows, saying, "If you want to ascend, you have to touch the threshold of great perfection. If you can't even reach the level of cultivation, how can you talk about great perfection? Why don't those who cultivate in the realm of nothingness come out and participate in worldly affairs? Are they too noble? No, they are smart enough to know what the end of the great way is, so they don't put the cart before the horse."

What is the end of the road? Naturally, it is to ascend to become an immortal.

They didn’t dare to think about it in the past, but seeing that the times have changed and spiritual energy is abundant, they dare to think about that possibility. The prerequisite for ascension is endless practice until the great perfection!
Changmei felt as if he had been enlightened. He was filled with shame and took two steps back and bowed to Qin Liuxi.

Qin Liuxi stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Take care of yourself."

After Changmei left, Feng Xiu said, "Thanks to your advice, he is really lucky."

"Your heart is not crooked yet, so it's okay to give it some pointers, but I'm afraid you're just a blockhead." Qin Liuxi said, "Now that spiritual energy has revived, it's not just people like you and me who can practice, but also demons and ghosts. Only when all living things are balanced can this small world survive."

Feng Xiu said: "Is it really possible to ascend to heaven?"

"Do you want to?" Qin Liuxi asked back.

Feng Xiu blinked, and transformed himself into a small one again. He lay on her shoulder and said, "If there really is a spiritual world for cultivating immortals, I heard that those fairies all have spiritual pets. Do you think I can do it? Big Boss, just take me to ascend!"

Qin Liuxi laughed and scolded, and pushed him down: "Get lost!"

She looked up at the cloud that looked like a swimming dragon drifting westwards, then lowered her eyes. It was still unknown whether the cultivator could ascend to heaven, but someone really had to sit on the throne.

As expected, in the spring of the 13th year of Qianning, in order to consolidate his royal power, Emperor Qianning took advantage of the Wanshou Festival to ask princes from all over the country to return to Beijing to celebrate his birthday and intended to withdraw their fiefdoms. At the same time, he asked the Dingxi general stationed in the northwest to bring his family to congratulate him. The general refused on the grounds that the border was unstable and there were frequent changes.

At that time, the Quan family of the Dingxi Marquis's mansion in Beijing was found to have secretly kept a yellow robe and intended to rebel. Emperor Qianning was furious, and without verifying the truth, he convicted them of treason, stripped them of their title, and imprisoned the Dingxi Marquis who was held hostage in Beijing, forcing General Dingxi Quan Xi to return to Beijing to defend himself.

The Penal Department Prison.

Kwon Kyung, now gray-haired and wearing prison clothes, sat cross-legged in the solitary cell. Coughing sounds were heard from time to time. He suddenly froze and looked to his side.

Qin Liuxi appeared in front of him.

Quan Jing's old eyes lit up and he smiled, saying, "I heard you were back a long time ago, but I was not in good health and could not get up from bed to see you. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for decades, we would meet again in this filthy prison. It's a pity that I am a prisoner now and cannot even offer you a bottle of wine."

"You're almost dying, and you still want wine?" Qin Liuxi took out a pot of wine and two cups.

Quan Liang was stunned for a moment, then smiled again: "Xi Zheng has been gone for many years, and I should have died a long time ago."

He poured the wine himself, took a sip, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you here to see me off?"

"Yes." Qin Liuxi said: "Do you know the meaning of the name Quan Xi?"

Quan Liang was silent.

Qin Liuxi filled his cup and said, "The word Xi, without the sun, becomes Xi. Xi means the emperor of mankind, without the sun, it becomes Xi. Do you understand?"

Kwon Kyung's heart skipped a beat.

The name of the current saint, Mingjing, contains the word "sun". Is this a sign that they are going to rebel?

Qin Liuxi looked at him and said, "The sage is stupid, stubborn and self-righteous, and he listens to flatterers, and the people are suffering." She poured another glass of wine and said, "So it doesn't matter if the Quan family is convicted of rebellion, and it's not in vain that you are sitting in this prison."

Quan Jing laughed and drank the wine in the glass: "I think it's okay!"

At the end of March in the 13th year of Qianning, Marquis Dingxi died in prison after hitting his head against the wall. There were blood words hanging on the wall in the prison, crying out for injustice. The news spread to the northwest, and the general of Dingxi wrote a blood letter to the world to tell the world about the merits of the Quan family throughout the dynasties, and how the holy monarch was deceived by treacherous ministers, forcing loyal ministers to commit suicide to clear their names. In order to restore order, the Quan family killed the treacherous ministers and cleared the emperor's side.

In April of the 13th year of Qianning, the Quan family rebelled. In December of the same year, the army approached the city. Emperor Qianning committed suicide by cutting his throat with a sword on the city wall. A Taoist priest who looked a bit like Emperor Qianning presented the imperial seal to the General Dingxi, saying that he was destined to rule the country. From then on, the dynasty was changed to Xi, the national surname was Quan, and the world was settled. (End of this chapter)
