Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 195 Xuannv’s anger

After leaving the door, he notified King Yanghua to go in and listen to his last words. Zhuang Xun stood on the terrace with mixed emotions. He had seen too much about life and death, and King Yu was just a demon.

But the departure of an elder always makes people feel sad and lament the flight of time, which will never come back.

Crying could be heard from the house, and it was certain that King Yu was dead. Maybe he was dead. I don't know if he was really crying or fake. I hope it was real.

My mood was in turmoil, thinking about my future, thinking that King Yu had already lived enough, and I might not be able to live that long.

Feeling a little calmer, Zhuang Xun thought about the impact of King Yu's death. First of all, King Donghua still maintained his independence and became more orthodox.

Therefore, the longer King Yu lives, the more beneficial it is to Zhuang Xun. But this is already good, really good.

When King Yanghua came out and cried and said that King Yu was dead, Zhuang Xun also said to a group of people: "His Majesty King Yu is rich and virtuous. I have great pity on him and have ordered him to be buried according to the emperor's etiquette."

King Yanghua thanked him, and Zhuang Xun then went back to tidy up his appearance. At the same time, he gathered his mood and waited for a few days to perform rituals and send King Yu to his burial.

The person who presided over the ritual was Ge Laodao. Because King Yu did not go to the underworld, the ritual was just a ritual.

However, there is no doubt about the professionalism of the imperial master, and the atmosphere seems sad, as if King Yu is really a sage monarch.

On the contrary, the people of Jiannan were not sad. King Yu was unpopular. If Zhuang Xun was in the coffin, some people would cry. If King Yu said it, even if he didn't scold him, it would be because the people of Jiannan were looking at Zhuang Xun's face.

There was no way, Jiannan benefited from Zhuang Xun, so he naturally loved him. On the contrary, King Yu was very kind to Zhuang Xun, but King Yu himself was not very human, so he naturally did not get the support of the people. He only did the right thing. That is, he firmly supported Zhuang Xun.

The ceremony was heavy, but it only lasted three days. After all, King Yanghua knew whether the true emperor died.

This is also the first time Zhuang Xun has seen such things as a funeral. Of course, with his current status, he cannot stay in the Tang family for too long.

He can only show respect before the funeral. These are all etiquette and he cannot violate them casually, because it is not him who is affected by the violation, but the people below are frightened.

Zhuang Xun didn't like to cause trouble to others, so he stayed there for a few days and didn't show up again until he was about to say goodbye to King Yu.

This time it was outside the city gate. The escort team, regardless of whether it was windy or snowy outside, had to leave for the funeral. Seeing King Yu being carried into the carriage's coffin, Zhuang Xun and Ge Laodao said goodbye.

Because Ge Laodao wanted to escort the coffin of King Yu and the huge piece of Shoushan Jade into the royal tomb of the Yu Kingdom. The royal tomb was near Yindu, so he had to rush back now.

"Your Majesty, I have escorted King Yu away. There is no need to see you off." Ge Laodao bowed his hands and saluted Zhuang Xun in farewell.

"Taoist Master Ge, please be safe and come back soon." Zhuang Xun said as he was accustomed to, in a polite way.

"It's too late. The change of dynasty has severely damaged your vitality. Once His Majesty, King Yu, is settled, I will have to stay in seclusion for a period of time to recuperate. I won't be able to rush back immediately."

Ge Laodao said frankly that he himself was highly bound to the fate of Yu State, and it could be said that he died together with King Yu.

Fortunately, he helped Zhuang Xun a lot. Zhuang Xun's overthrow of Yu was not a violent overthrow, but a gentle concession. He also had his seat in the new country, but he was not officially named a national master.

Ge Laodao was not killed directly, but he himself was not unscathed. He was seriously injured and his cultivation level was greatly reduced. It is not so easy to jump off the ship.

However, there is nothing to complain about after saving a life. Ge Laodao already feels very lucky to be able to continue on the road.

"Is this so? Master Ge, please pay attention. I am still short of a national teacher, and the position is vacant." Both Lan Qiu and He Jung recommended Mr. Ge.

Lan Qiu knew that Ge Laodao was Mrs. Jiang's senior brother. He Jung simply felt that Ge Laodao was about to ascend to immortality and that Ge Laodao was stronger. Zhuang Xun was concerned about their previous relationship.

After being entertained by Xihe Water Mansion, Zhuang Xun also realized that more and more gods were investing in him, and he needed someone like Zhao Guo to coordinate these gods. But the problem now is that Bi Yuewu will not end up.

They just stayed at the stage of theocratic support. Holding official positions like Xuannv and trying to ascend were not what these middle-level gods wanted.

So after picking and choosing, I found that Ge Laodao was suitable. A half-immortal needed to support the country to gain merit, and Zhuang Xun also needed a half-immortal to communicate with the constant influx of star officials.

Therefore, Zhuang Xun's words are extremely sincere, and he attaches great importance to talents, because he understands the role of talents best, which is to accumulate more strength.

"Don't worry, the old Taoist won't run away. It's tied to the national destiny of the Xia Kingdom, so naturally he has to do his best. This time he is really seriously injured and must retreat to recuperate."

Ge Laodao smiled. He was very happy when he saw Zhuang Xun. The hypothesis was successfully verified, the danger of death was temporarily lifted, and he successfully set foot on a new ship. All these made him feel like he was about to die, and the mood that he had looked away from was aroused. More flames of hope.

Zhuang Xun is hope. He is more hopeful than King Yu 30 years ago. He trusts his ministers more than King Yu.

"That's good. Thank you, Taoist Master Ge, for setting His Majesty up. I don't know how long it will take to transform into a demon. I don't know if I can see it."

After receiving Ge Laodao's affirmative reply, Zhuang Xun turned to look at the cart. Not only were they burying the coffin, but they were also burying Shoushan Jade and the demonized King Yu together.

"Your Majesty is so sage, you will definitely be able to see it when you come to the immortal world. Your Majesty, King Yu, will also be able to enjoy the blessings your Majesty has created. He will definitely be able to transform as soon as possible."

Ge Laodao complimented and said that he wished Zhuang Xun could seize Kyushu and ascend to the immortal world in one fell swoop, because there were many stories of the founding emperor's ascension, and the one that is still spread is the ascension of the founding emperor of the Ji Dynasty.

"That would be great. It means that we have also defeated the State of Zhao. The State of Zhao..." Zhuang Xun fell silent when talking about the State of Zhao.

The Ge Laodao who needed to retreat in front of him reminded him of Xuannv. He didn't know how Xuannv was doing now. She also needed to cultivate. How was she doing? Is she feeling better?

Even if I say I hate her, I can't hate her. Xuannv has already taken good care of herself. Zhuang Xun knows very well that the positions are inherently opposite. Xuannv can think of protecting herself and taking care of herself. Zhuang Xun really has no reason to be resentful.

There is even a little bit of guilt for overturning a table of food prepared by others. It is equivalent to someone giving you 2000 million to buy you out of favor and asking you to stop working. You are guarding the [-] million company and saying that you will have a bright future. It will bankrupt the other party's company and reject the proposal. "What happened to Zhao Guo?" Ge Laodao was a little confused at first, but looking at Zhuang Xun's tangled and guilty expression, he vaguely guessed it.

"Nothing, I just hope that Daoist Ge will come back soon. After all, Zhao Guo and Cheng Guo are not an easy task. They have to unite all their forces."

Zhuang Xun did not hesitate to list Zhao Guocheng as his enemy to deflect Ge Laodao's doubts. Although there were people he knew well in both countries, he would not back down and his goal was to destroy them.

"I understand..." Sensing Zhuang Xun's attention, Ge Laodao did not reveal what Zhuang Xun was thinking.

Turning around and walking towards the motorcade, Zhuang Xun stared at it for a long time. When he saw the motorcade disappearing from his sight, he came back to his senses. Perhaps it was what he was thinking that resonated with Xuan Nu.

Jiutian Xuannv, who had consolidated her cultivation, was released from seclusion. After four or five months, she had sorted out the cultivation that had been depleted by the loss of merit. She came out with full expectations to check and accept the results.

There was no trace of Zhuang Xun anymore, Lan Qiu was missing, and Empress Dowager Jiang was not in Jinyang. At first, Xuannu thought that Empress Dowager Jiang had taken Zhuang Xun to play somewhere, but she didn't realize that Zhuang Xun among them could play in many places. Escaped from Zhao State under blockade.

When she first came out, she optimistically calculated that Zhuang Xun and Queen Mother Jiang should also get married. Xuan Nu felt a little regretful for missing the wedding. After all, in her opinion, Queen Mother Jiang was the real talisman of Zhuang Xun. She gave Zhuang Xun Compensation package.

As a national advisor, you should first ask the gods how they are doing, and if there are any special circumstances that require contact between the gods and the king.

Because generally speaking, gods and kings do not know each other directly. After all, they have to avoid the suspicion of heaven, so the national preceptor also has the function of translator to communicate between gods and gods.

But it happened to be this routine inquiry to the coordinating god that Xuannv got a piece of news that made her lose her composure, and she even felt that the injury she had just repaired had relapsed.

"Zhuang Xun escaped?" Hearing the news, it was like a bolt from the blue, and thunder shook his heart.

"How did he run away? How could he run away? With so many gods in the sky, you just watched him run away? Are there Jiang Xiannuo and King Zhao? Are they all living on dry food?"

Xuannv couldn't suppress her anger, it was too shocking to her soul, so even her tone was harsh. A group of gods were as silent as ice, and they didn't dare to touch Xuannv's brows at all.

"Speak, what's going on!" Looking at the gods who looked like quails, Xuannv suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, picked a god at random, and looked directly at it.

The chosen one was the dragon-faced Dragon King of the East China Sea, the real dragon that Zhuang Xun saw in the mirror, pulling up vast expanse of black clouds and creating majestic heavy rain.

However, this real dragon was not majestic in front of Xuannv. This incident was not only embarrassing for the Zhao Kingdom, but also for these gods. It happened twice, once for Prince You and once for Zhuang Xun.

They were all escaping right under their noses. If Nie Xu's escape can be considered as being deliberately let go, then Zhuang Xun really left the country this time. Only then did these gods react and Zhuang Xun escaped.

"Because of the coup in the Yu State, Jiang Shuxian went to Jizhou to support King Donghua of the Yu State to ascend the throne, and asked Lan Qiu to marry Zhuang Xun on her behalf. Lan Qiu rebelled, and we went everywhere to give blessings. By tracking the colorful blue geese, In the name of taking Zhuang Xun to the northwest border of Cheng Kingdom, and using the identity of Queen Mother Jiang Xiannuo, he asked the generals guarding the city to let Zhuang Xun leave, and Zhuang Xun transferred to Cheng Kingdom and finally left the border of Zhao Kingdom."

The Dragon King of the East China Sea said briefly and briefly, and then stepped back, not daring to say more for fear that Xuan Nu would turn her anger on him.

"Jiang, Xian, 婌!" Queen Mother Jiang's name came out from her teeth. Xuannu, who had a delicate mind, figured out what Jiang Xiannuo was thinking after just a moment's calculation. In the end, the consequences were like this. The anger in her chest made her want to kill someone.

I have lost so much merit, and in the end, it was taken away so easily. Doesn't this seem extremely stupid for me to waste my merit?

"King Zhao, doesn't he know that Lan Qiu is not his mother?"

Jiang Xiannuo was not here, and Xuannu was not an impulsive person, so she patiently continued to ask if Jiang Xiannuo was entirely responsible.

"I know, but King Zhao doesn't think Zhuang Xun can make waves. Zhuang Xun and the others have already planned it. They often go hunting and camping, so King Zhao is used to it. When they want to escape, they don't go straight to the northwest checkpoint, but go around in a big circle. Slowly Slowly repatriating the spies, and finally heading straight to the northwest border. Before King Zhao could react, Zhuang Xun had already escaped."

The Dragon King of the East China Sea continued to say that it was not that they had not thought about the possibility of Zhuang Xun escaping, but they had not thought of the possibility of Zhuang Xun escaping with the help of Lan Qiu. In all aspects, Lan Qiu was one of their own.

Someone later reacted in advance and fell into the trap, but no trace of Zhuang Xun and his group could be found. There was a god covering their whereabouts, and it was a relatively powerful god.

"Zhuang Xun is not a threat, but his wife and wife are not easy to get along with. Such contempt for them will lead to a knife in the back. What on earth is King Zhao thinking? What is the situation like when he escapes back to the Yu Kingdom? .”

Xuannv has a long-term vision. She doesn't want any surprises in her path to transcendence. She takes a serious attitude towards strategy and tactics. She treats Jing and Zheng the same way, and she treats Jizhou the same way.

"King Yu killed a large number of courtiers, escaped from Yindu before the coup of the kings, and went to Hebei Road. Finally he met Zhuang Xun who had returned from Chengguo, and gave up the throne to Zhuang Xun. Zhuang Xun changed Yu to Xia. Now Call him King of Xia."

"At the same time, because of the abdication, he also began to use the name of the monarch to attack the coup kings. At present, he has captured a large area of ​​territory east of Yindu, forcing King Huayang of Yu State to surrender. At the same time, Cheng State also sent troops to annex the northern part of Yu State. Currently, only King Donghua We are struggling to support.”

Because it was not clear that Zhuang Xun and Li Pingyuan had fallen out, in the eyes of these gods, Zhuang Xun and Li Pingyuan were still allies, and now the situation of King Donghua was in danger.

"However, there was heavy snowfall in Jizhou in the past few days. At present, Xia Kingdom and Cheng Kingdom should not be able to attack King Donghua. King Donghua can take a breather for the time being."

Xuannv's blood pressure surged as she heard that the last thing she wanted to see happened. Zhuang Xun or Li Pingyuan formed a regime in Jizhou that could threaten Zhao.

"One winter can still be saved, it can still be saved..." Xuannv comforted herself and said that she could only comfort herself now, and there was still a chance, there was still another winter.

"Do you have anything else to add?" The situation in Jizhou has reached this point, and Xuannv just said casually.

"..." A hint of embarrassment appeared on the Dragon King of the East China Sea's face.

"Is there anything else?" Xuannv said feeling uneasy.

"In the abdication ceremony, when Zhuang Xun ascended the throne, a strange phenomenon occurred. It was an earth dragon turning over."
