Buddhist Cultivation: Starting from Divination

Chapter 190 Empress Crisis, Shenluo will be destroyed
Daxia Palace.

In the broad palace square, statues of auspicious beasts stand tall, and on both sides of the royal road are loose guards, making the whole road look solemn and solemn.

In the center of the square stands a majestic palace. The roof of the palace is made of glazed tiles. Under the sunlight, the roof shines brilliantly, echoing the arches and stone railings, making it look extremely simple and elegant.

At the gate of the hall, there is a pair of lifelike stone lions that echo each other with the lintel. Above the gate are two jade-carved dragons, crouching on both sides of the gate in a coiled posture.

In the main hall, all the civil and military ministers held their breath and concentrated, not daring to neglect.

You know, it has been a long time since Daxia held a court meeting.

This is the first court meeting held by the imperial court in more than a year.

As early as a year ago, the Great Xia Empress suspended the early dynasty.

The reason is that it is too cumbersome, both for myself and for the minister.

According to the etiquette system, the time of the early court was set at Mao time, which was five o'clock.

The emperor is better, after all, he lives in the palace, and he can be late, but the minister is different, he has to get up early every day, and has to go to the palace to wait before dawn.

Unlike Emperor Taizong Wen's workaholic behavior, this newly enthroned empress simply stopped going.

New rules were issued.

All important affairs of the imperial court were dealt with by the cabinet first, and after screening, they were sent to Longtashang for approval by the emperor Zhu.

In this way, the emperor doesn't have to do everything himself, and he doesn't have to work too hard, and the civil and military officials don't have to get up early. It really is the best of both worlds.

Because the morning court is actually a meeting, but there is not much news every day, and many of them are trivial things.

Most of the time, the early morning is just a moment of loneliness.

The empress's style made many ministers secretly agree, and she slept soundly for a year.

But gradually, they also discovered that something was wrong.

Unnecessary meetings may not be held, but it does not mean that all meetings will not be held.

For a year and a half, many ministers became worried again.

I'm afraid that the empress will be like those stupid kings in the late period of Yan Dynasty.

He did not go to court for four or fifty years, and he could not see a single person. He even killed many ministers. There were a lot of vacant seats in the court hall, and no one could be seen.

Fortunately, after many days, His Majesty finally opened the morning court.

After reuniting after a long absence, they can be regarded as seeing His Majesty's appearance.

In the center of the hall, there is a luxurious and noble dragon chair. Sitting on the throne is a slender woman in a red robe. She is still very young, but her phoenix eyes are bright, and her beautiful eyes are full of wisdom and ambition.

It's just that the youthful face has matured a lot. Compared with before, his eyes are restrained, his temperament is calm, and he has a touch of atmosphere.

This made the ministers below secretly sigh.

Your Majesty has grown up.

"I heard that all your lovers are arguing about the crusade against Dayan, are you right?"

Yu Qinghan glanced sharply at the ministers below, his voice was cold and majestic.

A minister in a peacock scarlet robe came forward to report: "Now that Song Heqing, the former Prime Minister of the Great Yan Dynasty, has passed away, it is an excellent opportunity for us."

"Yes, there is a gap between the Shenluo Empire and Dayan, and the relationship between the two sides is tense. According to the news that I have learned, the Shenluo Empire may send troops to Dayan." Soon, another military official with tigers and leopards embroidered on his chest echoed. .

"Da Yan's old party is not dead, and must be eradicated as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Yu Qinghan was slightly distracted, recalling what her husband had said.

Time is the best antidote, the land of Central Plains cannot be allowed to regenerate Lingtu charcoal.

Yu Qinghan regained his senses and asked, "Beilang in the ten states of the northern border, have you thought about how to solve it?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside."

"Dayan occupies the state capitals of the three towns in Huainan. They are all tax-paying states and extend in all directions. If they don't get them back, where will they get the money to fight the Northern Wolf?"

Peacock Scarlet Robe Minister persuaded.

"In addition, Daxia has established good relations with many sects in Beizhou. At present, there is no need to worry about the invasion of the Northern Wolf Empire. As long as they dare, then we will not be soft."

"Where did this come from, why don't I know?"

Yu Qinghan narrowed his eyes and sensed something was wrong.

Although it has become extremely common for monks to go down to the secular world, but

The minister's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said hastily: "It happened one month ago. King Changning reached an agreement with several sects on behalf of the imperial court, saying that they can take action when necessary. The old minister thought that His Majesty knew."

"King of Changning"

Yu Qinghan frowned.

What kind of mess has this uncle made.

Without my own consent, I made my own decisions?

As soon as King Changning was mentioned, many young ministers below made winks.

But they were all stopped by the old minister, with warning eyes.

However, a young official who was hesitant to speak couldn't bear it any longer, stepped out and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I impeached and reported King Changning. He has a bad style of conduct, annexed fiefdoms, and raised private soldiers and other serious crimes."

Hearing this, Yu Qinghan's expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly:
"Where do you start?!"

Almost all the ministers could feel the anger in the words.

"Guangling Mansion outside Changning County has become the private land of King Changning! Not only that, many imperial troops in the palace have been transferred and replaced by King Changning's private soldiers!"

"Shi Yue, don't exaggerate the facts!"

An old minister came out and explained to Yu Qinghan: "The reward of the fiefdom was established by His Majesty when he became the throne, in order to reward the King of Changning, and the King of Changning did not exceed the organizational system of a government, but only reached the Kankan state system. .”

"Xu Ziwu has nothing to do with mobilizing the imperial army. King Changning doesn't have the right to mobilize troops at all. Where are the private soldiers?"

Many senior ministers followed up and said, "That's right, I recognize this person. He was originally a staff member of the Changning Palace, and he was expelled from the palace later. He must have held grudges, just to stir up conflicts between His Majesty and the prince."

"King Changning is for the country and the people, and he is sympathetic to the people. Princess Pei and His Majesty are like sisters. How could he do such a treasonous thing."

At first, Yu Qinghan thought it was nothing, but now seeing more and more people speaking for King Changning, he secretly thought something was wrong.

There are quite a few ministers in the court who speak for King Changning, so they are not all bribed, right?
His uncle's mind is not pure, and he doesn't look bad at the moment, but he certainly can't be called good.

When these ministers started to boast, she realized that something was wrong.

As if there was a tendency to turn black things into white things, she immediately stopped the quarrel and said without anger:

"Enough, where is King Changning now?"

"King Changning has already left Xiadu and is in the fiefdom."

broken.

Yu Qinghan's jade hand caressed the handle of the dragon chair, and his heart sank.

She wanted to put her under house arrest, but obviously the other party didn't give her this chance.

"How about the sale of salt?"

Yu Qinghan continued to ask.

When she was in Lingshan, she heard the news that King Changning had bought out the inventory of salt merchants in the capital.

He is very good, why buy so much salt?
"Your Majesty, this is also a major event. Now that the price of salt in the three places in Gyeonggi has soared, many people can no longer afford salt for daily use, and they are complaining endlessly." A senior scholar of the cabinet came forward and reported.

When Yu Qinghan heard this, he immediately reacted.

I know what my uncle wants to do.

He wants to drive up the price of salt, and then bring down the imperial court, so that he can benefit the people and win people's hearts.

If the price of salt cannot be lowered, it will inevitably lead to a large-scale rebellion.

Combined with the previous news about the joint sect, it is not difficult to deduce that King Changning is already looking for a way out, and he has even found a helper.

Let's not talk about the background of these sects.

Which sect would agree to a vassal's request for no reason, what conditions did he ask?
Already she smelled a rebellion.

In the past year, her uncle has done a lot of things.

Especially in the past few months when she left the court.

Yu Qinghan was thinking.

"boom!"

The temple trembled violently.

"Hey!"

Great Xia New National Games, the fire phoenix with nine feathers on its tail, spread its wings and cried, staring at a masked man in a bamboo hat on the top of the palace.

A rapid stream of light followed the [-]-meter symmetrical royal road, and the hurricane brought up by it swept away the Imperial Guards guarding the left and right sides of the gate, and arrived at the Golden Dragon Hall.

The ministers were shocked.

Yu Qinghan's beautiful eyes narrowed, he stood up, his cultivation was no longer hidden, and the air flow was surging. The five-color golden pill contained various colors of blue, red, blue, and purple. It is extremely difficult for a person to assassinate an emperor in the palace.

Soon an invisible force blocked the incoming streamer.

"Your Majesty, if you abdicate to the virtuous, things may turn around. The Immortal Sect cannot protect itself. I will give you a seven-day time limit. Consider it carefully."

A hearty laugh came into the hall, and Yu Qinghan's expression changed slightly after he caught the thing in his hand and saw that it was a letter.

Sending messages across thousands of miles, affecting the laws of heaven and earth, this method is the Nascent Soul cultivator.

She opened the envelope heavily, and just glanced at it, her eyebrows furrowed.

"It's a member of the Demon Sect, and King Changning has taken refuge in the Demon Sect?"

Yu Qinghan tore the envelope into pieces, with anger in her phoenix eyes.

Sure enough, her guess was correct.

If there are not enough conditions, how can the other party get help from the sect.

For the sake of the throne, King Changning has united with the Demonic Dao and started to attack Daxia.

Obviously, he didn't trust himself either, and was already planning to tear his face apart and start a war.

The day is finally here.

Nanyu Prefecture, between the mountains and fields.

"call out!"

A red figure flew out backwards.

The eminent monk in red was beaten to death with a black sap.

"jingle!"

The bell continued to ring, like a big hand transformed into a magic sound, grabbing the red robe monk's neck and throwing him away again.

"Wow!"

The red-robed eminent monk couldn't stop spitting out a big mouthful of blood, and there were several bumps on his bald head, obviously from being beaten like this.

"Hey, you're too young to deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The chubby Zhou Ping carried a black sap in both hands, and said with a harmless smile.

In his hands, the Arhat strongman in the Nascent Soul Realm was still heavily packed, as if he was in a crushing situation.

"Hand him over to His Highness the Crown Prince."

The barefoot woman with a black veil stepped on the rushing river with an indifferent expression.

"Row."

"Bang!"

Zhou Ping grabbed it with his big hand, like catching a chicken, and threw him in front of Zhao Huai.

At this time, Zhao Huai's mana boiled, and his robe soaked in water dried up immediately. He took a step forward, fixed his eyes on the red-robed monk, and then looked at the two young monks.

"Zhou Ping."

"Dongfang Xuan."

The two introduced each other in turn.

"Are you the flame generals from other altars?"

"Exactly."

Zhou Ping and Dongfang Xuan said in unison.

Zhao Huai carefully looked at the appearance of the two of them.

One looks honest and honest, with a slightly fat body, but has superb stick skills and vigorous skills.

The other woman was wearing a black veil, so she couldn't see her face clearly. She had a lot of silver accessories on her body, and the golden bell seemed to be an extraordinary magic weapon that could manipulate other people's actions.

But looking at the dress, it should come from a foreigner far away.

"I am waiting for Lord Yan's imperial edict to come to help the crown prince. My benefactor is guarding the altar in the East China Sea, and I can't get away, so he sent me here."

Zhou Ping's voice was full of air, and he clasped his fists and explained.

Dongfang Xuan's reaction was not so confident, her beautiful eyes were slightly complicated, and she said slowly: "The Nanzhou altar fell 60 years ago, and my family teacher disappeared. The grace of cultivation."

"Fall, why?"

Zhao Huai frowned, puzzled.

"The Nanzhou altar leads to Shenwu Tiandi. 60 years ago, the glaciers in Nanzhou melted and flooded the altar. The heaven and earth rules of Shenwu Tiandi were discovered by the Dao of Heaven, which led to thunder calamity. The master was buried in the sea and the seal was broken for 60 years. I was guarding, but I didn’t notice any changes in the altar, so I came to Zhongzhou to assist the prince.”

Zhao Huai nodded slowly and said in doubt:

"Shenwu Tiandi? I've never heard it mentioned before. What do you specialize in?"

Heavenly Demon Heaven and Earth is the source of demonic ways, Huangquan Heaven and Earth is the end of the birth of demons, False South China Sea comes from the wild world and is a part of it, monster races are rampant, strange beasts are everywhere, demon emperors are respected, Shenwu Heaven and Earth has never been mentioned.

"Returning to Your Highness, it is Wuji Tianxia dominated by Tianzun."

"Tianzun? Do you practice martial arts?"

"That's understandable."

Zhao Huai glanced at the half-dead monk in red robes, and said sternly, "Now the entrance to Xizhou's wild world has been lost, and we need your help."

"This is a matter of mine, please rest assured, Your Highness."

Zhou Ping nodded his round head and said solemnly.

"How to deal with this monk?"

Dongfangxuan turned sideways, with the black veil fluttering, pointing to the sorceress on the ground to teach the Arhat way.

"The gods will be destroyed."

Zhao Huai said coldly, and gave a reply.

Since the Shenluo Empire wanted to put him to death, he didn't have to look any more.

It can be killed directly.

"As ordered."

Dongfang Xuan nodded and looked at the monk on the ground without any sympathy in her eyes.

The slender hand clapped hard, hitting the opponent's dantian.

The eminent monk in red robe showed pain on his face, and his breath dissipated in an instant.

A spirit body resembling a baby emerged, and with a "swoosh", it wanted to escape.

Dongfang Xuan had already prepared for it, and when the golden bell rang, the crisp sound waves made Yuan Ying stagnate.

crash into the ground.

Holding the young spirit body in her palm, she said calmly: "This Nascent Soul is the prototype of the Nascent Soul, which contains the monk's hundreds of years of cultivation. Your Highness may wish to accept it. It will be of great benefit to your cultivation."

Zhao Huai was also polite, and put the crystal clear Nascent Soul behind Xuanjie.

Looking to the other side of the mountain forest, he said solemnly: "The Shenluo Empire has sent many strong men to target my Great Yan. The two seniors are still fighting fiercely. Go and help one or two."

His voice just fell.

"Boom!"

Two majestic phantoms appeared above the mountain range, sending out a collision.

One is a vision of a Bodhisattva, a tall Bodhisattva with six golden leaves on his back and a white elephant under his crotch, which is extremely sacred.

Another high-spirited general holds a long spear, and his eyes are shining.

Zhou Ping and Dongfang Xuan looked at each other and jumped up.

Fly towards the direction of the middle of the mountain forest.

Zhao Huai stretched out his hand to catch the sword, and the three flying swords came together, stepped on the red rusty sword, and followed.

ps: Thanks to the big sweeping monk of the Zhatian Gang for the reward!The boss is awesome!
