Chapter 119: When it’s over, brush off your clothes and hide your merit and fame (please subscribe)
Time went by and three days passed.

During these three days, Chen Qingyang did not leave the palace, but sat there to prevent any practitioners from coming to inquire about the news.

Therefore, in the past three days, many practitioners have been killed, and many techniques have been inherited in their hands.

All were sent to the Totem Temple to be exchanged, and blood was restored.

And in the past three days, even if no news has spread, the outside world can guess it.

There must have been a huge change in the palace!

After all, for three days, no news has come out from the palace, and His Majesty has not gone to court.

The Forbidden Army guards the palace and kills anyone who dares to break into the palace.

When the great scholar Liu Chuan entered the palace, he didn't even enter the palace gate and was beheaded directly.

Therefore, everyone has guessed that things will not be simple this time.

For three days, in the entire Ming Dynasty, those who were qualified to inherit the throne were a little excited at this moment.

But there is no definite news, and we dare not make any moves.

Chen Qingyang made arrangements one after another in the past three days and invited four princes to come to Beijing.

The respective ones are Zhu Han, king of Yan, Zhu Qi, king of Liu, Zhu Bian, king of Han, and Zhu Yi, king of Qin.

These four are the most outstanding members of the royal family among the news that Chen Qingyang has received in the past few days.

Everyone is similar. They are either ambitious or outstanding in political affairs.

Therefore, the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty will be selected among these four people.

…………

In the imperial study room, Chen Qingyang sat on the dragon chair. Every day in the palace, he ate well, drank well, and even had an open supply of medicinal materials.

For a time, the energy and blood in the body increased a lot.

The fifth round of Danjin, bone training!

In the fourth turn, Chen Qingyang had already consciously cultivated the Yin Qi to grow to the extreme. Under the combination of Yin and Yang, he simply burnt the bones.

But now that I have officially started bone training, I realize that bone training is not that easy.

Before, it was just manipulating the yin and yang qi to temper the surface of the bones.

Right now, the yin and yang qi are flowing, directly moving all the bones in the body from the inside out, without missing a single point.

The periosteum, bones, and marrow are all tempered together.

However, this time will not be too short. The tempering of the bones must reach the limit before the next turn can be carried out.

One unexpected thing was that a few thunderbolts that night gave Chen Qingyang unimaginable blessings!

The energy in the body now contains a trace of thunderous energy.

Not only was it extremely explosive, it also incorporated a trace of the power of Heaven, and punched with the power of Heaven.

Most people who are not mentally prepared will immediately lose their fighting spirit under this punch.

In itself, Chen Qingyang's fist intention was extremely terrifying.

However, Qingyang Qingyang is a thing in the sky after all, and Chen Qingyang did not go deep into it.

But now, these thunderbolts have penetrated directly into it, integrating the power of heaven into the fist intention, which is very terrifying.

To put it more exaggeratedly, Chen Qingyang could stand still at this moment.

When the fist intention spreads out, the evil ghosts can be instantly wiped out.

Back then, when fighting the white fox outside the pass, if he had such strength, he could easily kill the white fox, and none of his magical powers would be able to work.

However, there are a few good monsters outside the customs, and they are all very good to kill if the opportunity arises.

The monster meat that was obtained at the beginning is almost eaten now, except for the tiger monster, which Chen Qingyang has not touched yet.

Flicking through the memorials on the table casually, the more Chen Qingyang read, the more disdain on his face became.

The last thing I saw was that I was so furious that I threw the memorial directly to the ground.

"Hmph, the Ming Dynasty was extremely corrupt, but Chongzhen still looks up to him."

"Such a confused emperor, so overjoyed at his achievements, so self-willed, he should have been killed long ago and replaced by someone else."

"Maybe Ming Dynasty can go further..."

"I don't know if Chongzhen, his father, has a bad mind or something, but he became the emperor for this thing."

With a sigh, Chen Qingyang was also quite bored.

"Wang Xiang, come in."

Outside the house, Wang Xiang has been personally on duty outside the imperial study these days.

The purpose is to leave a good impression, and to be the first to know about anything, so that the news will not be timely and bad later.

Wang Xiang pushed open the door of the imperial study room.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"How long will it take for the four princes to enter the palace?"

Wang Xiang was silent for a moment, calculating in his mind.

"Sir, King Yan estimates that he will arrive in seven days, King Qin and King of Han will arrive in about ten days, and the farthest is King Liu, who estimates that it will take half a month."

"How long is it?"

Chen Qingyang frowned. Staying in the palace seemed comfortable, but in fact it was also very boring.

He himself is not a person who can sit still, but now he is worried about the Ming Dynasty.

"Hurry up and spread the news. If you can't reach the capital within seven days, don't come."

"You are not active in being an emperor, so there is no need to be one."

"promise!"

"Well, in addition, arrange for someone to take me to the library in the palace."

"Yes."

Wang Xiang arranged for someone to take Chen Qingyang away, while he himself smiled.

Seven days!

King Yan will definitely be able to get there, but as for the rest...

Of course, the news still needs to be delivered to the kings, but the time is not up to him yet.

……

In the Ouchi library, Chen Qingyang stood in the library. There were more than a dozen neat rows of bookshelves filled with books.

There are Confucian scriptures and treatises, famous Taoist scriptures and treatises, and Buddhist scriptures, all from hundreds of schools of thought.

The library has three floors in total.

The first floor is the largest, but it contains books that can be purchased by the public, but the collection in this palace is more comprehensive.

The second level contains some unique copies that have been lost among the people, including but not limited to scriptures and treatises from various schools.

As for the third floor, there are not many books, but every one is a good thing.

In this way, Chen Qingyang calmed down and started reading books from the collection of books on the first floor.

He also read books very quickly, but he did not read some ordinary books.

Specialize in reading some relatively lonely books. There are often a lot of personal items in these books, but the authenticity is higher.

In this way, while killing time, seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Walking out of the library, there was excitement in his eyes.

This trip was a big profit!

The purpose of coming to the library is not just to read books.

Selling money is the key!

The library of the palace is full of high-quality books, and the major treatises and scriptures among them are also good things, with the annotations of the ancients.

Containing different ideas, these things are relatively valuable.

In this way, the three-story library provided Chen Qingyang with more than 5 totem points.

To say you became rich overnight is an exaggeration, but it can still be considered a small fortune.

…………

In the imperial study room, Chen Qingyang was sitting on the dragon chair, eating roasted whole lamb.

There was a smile in Wang Xiang's eyes below.

"Sir, three princes will arrive in the capital in seven days, and they can enter the palace tomorrow."

"Three?"

Chen Qingyang raised his head and looked at Wang Xiang inexplicably.

"Who's not here?"

"King Qin."

"What's the reason?"

Wang Xiang said: "I heard that King Qin was attacked on his way to Beijing, and it was delayed for a few days."

"I see."

After crushing the bones in his mouth and swallowing, Chen Qingyang took a sip of wine.

"Come, let's have a drink together?"

Chen Qingyang poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang didn't think much, just picked up the wine bowl and drank to the full!

"Wang Xiang, you are ambitious, I can see it."

"But, it doesn't matter if a person is clever, but don't let it out."

"After all, no matter what time it is, it's the fists that do the talking."

"Today, I am bigger than your fist, you have to listen to me."

Chen Qingyang said with a sneer: "I don't have to pursue this matter."

"However, King Yan has lost one point in Chen's heart."

"grown ups……"

"To shut up!"

With a cold snort, Chen Qingyang looked at Wang Xiang with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Since King Yan is so worthy of your sacrifice, then let me see what King Yan is capable of!"

"Let's go to the Qianyuan Palace and let the three princes enter the palace! I want to see the strength of these princes."

He strode out of the imperial study, while Wang Xiang's eyes flashed behind him, and finally became calm again.

It is simply impossible to kill this person.

In the Qianyuan Hall, Chen Qingyang didn't feel anything wrong when he was sitting in the emperor's seat.But speaking of it, this chair is relatively comfortable to sit on, and there is a silk cushion underneath.

Of course, Chen Qingyang was a little slutty in Nuo Da's chair, with his legs crossed and a bit of a carefree look, which could be regarded as an emperor's addiction.

Not long after, footsteps sounded in the palace, and Wang Xiang walked in with three middle-aged men.

Unfortunately, all three of them seemed to have a rough image.

He has a beard all over his face, and he walks with a somewhat unsteady pace.

Tsk, I have to say, these guys look like generals, without the majesty of an emperor.

The only thing left behind is probably just some of the rationality that still existed in the palace.

The three of them looked at Chen Qingyang sitting on the dragon chair, their eyes twinkling.

They knew everything that happened in the palace in the past few days.

While I was excited, I was also a little worried.

Practitioner!
The emperor doesn't seem to be that easy to do. After all, he stands in different positions on many things and has different ideas.

Chongzhen Neng was forcibly executed in the palace, protected by thousands of forbidden troops.

Will the same thing happen to them in the future?

However, for now, I still want to take the position of the Dragon Throne.

"Zhu Han, I have met Mr. Chen!"

"Zhu Qi, I have met Mr. Chen!"

"Zhu Bian, I have met Mr. Chen!"

Chen Qingyang smiled and said: "The three princes don't have to do this."

"Chen doesn't care about the throne. He invited the three of you to come. In these days, I learned that there are still some wise kings in the Ming Dynasty royal family."

"The three princes are all aware of what happened in the palace, so Chen didn't say much."

"Three questions, if the answers are in line with Chen's wishes, the throne will be decided."

"You don't have to be suspicious. The throne has been decided today, and you have to do the rest yourself."

"Chen is a man from the mountains and will never interfere in court affairs again!"

The three of them looked at each other and said, "Sir, please ask."

Seeing that none of the three were timid, Chen Qingyang was initially satisfied.

"Okay, that's the first question."

"How do the three princes view the people."

King Yan Zhu Han frowned and was not the first to answer.

Liu Wang Zhu Bian thought for a moment and said: "Sir, the common people and the Ming Dynasty are the cornerstone."

"Mencius once said that water can carry a boat or overturn it. The people and the Ming Dynasty coexist. If the people are strong, the Ming Dynasty will be strong."

Chen Qingyang had no expression on his face and looked at the remaining two people.

Zhu Qi, the king of Han Dynasty, said: "What the third brother said is fine, but my younger brother thinks so."

"The king is not more important than the people, and the people are not less important than the king. However, there must be divisions between the king and his subjects."

"A country should be dominated by a king. Without a king, there is no country; without a country, there are no people."

"Therefore, the king is above, the people are below, and the ministers are in the middle."

It's the same old thing again. Chen Qingyang sighed secretly. It was really difficult for ancient people to reverse this thinking.

"Where is King Yan?"

Zhu Han said lightly: "I will not deal with these nonsense."

"The common people and this king are the people. The centralized system of power has been used for thousands of years, and it makes sense."

"If the people's lives are good, they will naturally support the king. If their lives are not good, they will naturally criticize the foolish king."

“When the king and the people unite as one, the country will be strong!”

After listening to what the three people said, Chen Qingyang felt nothing.

It may be more influenced by the influence of later generations. To be honest, it is unrealistic to want to agree with this kind of thinking in ancient times.

However, the answers of several people are actually still saying that the king is above and the people are below.

Sighing softly: "That's it, second question."

"What do the three of you think of the Jurchens outside the Great Wall and Mongolia beyond the Great Wall?"

"Of course it's a fight!"

Zhu Han continued to be arrogant: "People of foreign races invaded our Ming Dynasty, harmed our people, and robbed our Ming Dynasty women!"

"These alien races should be killed!"

"If the two major races can be exterminated, I will have my own grazing land tomorrow!"

"Yes, when dealing with foreign races, of course we must kill them all!"

"Extremely!"

……

Chen Qingyang was speechless. Did Chen Qingyang, the three of them, agree in advance?
The answers to the two questions are almost the same. If this is the case, if I want to hear the true opinion, I have no choice but to separate.

The eyes flashed, and the magic spell was cast instantly.

Zhu Han was directly shrouded in the illusion, and Chen Qingyang was like a god, overlooking the world from the throne.

The huge figure covered the entire sky!
Zhu Han's pupils were dilated, but there was heat in his eyes.

"Mr. Chen!"

"Zhu Han, let me ask you, what do you think makes a good emperor?"

"To petition for the people, you can listen to the words of ordinary people, and you can also recognize the sufferings of the people. You need to have a clear eye to see people and select talents. You need to have a vertical and horizontal way!"

"The Ming Dynasty has a lot of criticisms now, but the biggest cancer is the group of scholars in the Donglin Party. If I ascend the throne and stabilize the situation, I will be the first to attack those worms in the Donglin Party!"

"Civil and military forces should work together, not just one family..."

Zhu Han talked a lot, talking about how he would develop the Ming Dynasty in the future and how he would govern the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Qingyang quite agreed with Zhu Han's words.

This man's governance in Yangzhou was not bad, and the people of Yangzhou rarely had unjust, false, or wrongful convictions. This was something he saw with his own eyes when he came here.

Zhu Han is indeed a capable person, but he is weak in handling government affairs.

Zhu Han escaped from the illusion, and then Zhu Qi entered the illusion.

"Zhu Qi, do you think Zheng He's voyages to the West can be revived?"

Zhu Qi was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Chen Qingyang high in the sky.

"Sir, Zheng He's voyages to the West are certainly possible, but the Ming Dynasty cannot do it now."

"Even whether I can do it in my lifetime is a question."

"Although the Ming Dynasty has eliminated foreign troubles, it has not been eradicated. The insurrectionary armies are also causing chaos from all directions. The Ming Dynasty's army is in arrears with military pay, and there is no money in the treasury."

"In my opinion, if I ascend the throne, the first thing I will do is confiscate my family and exterminate my clan!"

"The Donglin Party and even all the salt merchants in the world should die!"

"As a man of great wealth, he is unkind for being rich, and he is an unclean official. He has completely forgotten the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty!"

"When you have money, develop and stabilize the current situation, then supplement the army's salary, first put down the rebellion, train the army, and sweep across the grassland."

"In this way, the Ming Dynasty's rear will be stable and the prosperous age will begin again!"

"Recreating Zheng He's voyages to the West is no longer a castle in the air!"

Chen Qingyang was a little surprised. Zhu Qi was more comprehensive than Zhu Han, and he didn't seem to have lost his blood courage, which was good.

Next is the last Zhu Bian.

The question Chen Qingyang asked was.

"How do you view the current civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty?"

This person talked a lot and even deliberately deviated from this question, which disappointed Chen Qingyang.

He immediately denied this person. This person is also a person who likes to be popular, and there should be support from the Donglin Party behind him.

…………

In the Qianyuan Hall, Chen Qingyang stood up from the dragon chair.

He walked to the stage and looked at the three princes: "Just now, Chen knew everything he wanted to know."

"I've asked what I need to ask. The reason why I ask you questions is not to look at the actual situation. The three princes are all in charge of the same place."

"Before this, I have already investigated the territorial status of the three princes."

"It's all good."

"As for the first two questions, the three of you have the same answer. For the third question, the one I am most satisfied with is the King of Han."

"King of Han Zhu Qi, I hope you can do what you say."

After saying that, and taking a deep look at Zhu Qi, Chen Qingyang walked off the stage and pulled Zhu Qi onto the dragon chair.

Turning his head to look at the two people below, Zhu Han showed dissatisfaction on his face and his eyes flickered.

"Chen Qingyang, what ability does Zhu Qi have to sit on the throne?"

"He doesn't understand the matter of commanding the army, that is, he is better than me in government affairs. The most important thing for the Ming Dynasty today is to put down the civil strife!"

"A person like this who doesn't know how to lead an army sits on the dragon's throne. Does he know how to fight a war?"

Chen Qingyang said nothing, Zhu Qi stood up and looked directly at Zhu Han.

"What Ming Dynasty needs is not generals, but wise kings!"

"Your Majesty, I only need generals who know how to fight. Why do I have to go to war myself?"

"A gentleman does not stand under dangerous walls. I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If talents are used by me, then I am a good emperor!"

Chen Qingyang nodded slowly: "That's right."

"Zhu Han, if you are not bad at being a general, haha..."

"Okay, Chen's mission ends here!"

"However, Zhu Qi is the emperor I chose. If you have any ideas, please think carefully before taking action!"

"Zhu Qi, Chen can protect you and stabilize the situation, but after this is over, you will be on your own."

"Remember what you said, if you can't do it, I can replace Chongzhen, and I can replace you too!"

After saying that, Chen Qingyang disappeared into the palace.

When things are done, go away and hide your merits and fame!
　What do you think of the new volume?
　　You can mention it in the comment area, and I will adopt some of it. The new volume is different from these two volumes. The core is to kill the breakers and defectors.

　　You can provide some ideas and I will add them if appropriate.

　　Thank you for your support. Of course, it would be best not to raise books. Two hundred or three hundred new books are added every day, which is a bit low. In total, it is 20 yuan...
