I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 424: I follow the example of the ancient sages and abdicate, Empress Wu Zetian

The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty - Chang'an Imperial City
After several years, the Tai Chi Hall in the center of the imperial city was opened again.

Lin Xuan was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the supreme throne.

Shi Zhixuan and Song Que ranked first in civil and military affairs respectively.

Behind the two men stood a group of young talents from the Shengmen and Song clans.

In the process of the holy dynasty unifying the world, the Shengmen and the Song clan made the greatest contribution and were specially ranked first among the civil and military officials.

There is no problem on the Song clan's side.

Unless Song Beifeng, the ancestor of the Song family from the border plane, comes here, Song Que, the head of the clan, will be the respected one no matter what.

This is not the case with the Holy Gate. Theoretically, apart from the Holy Lord Lin Xuan, the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian should be the most respected.

But Xiang Yutian never liked to be in charge of things, and finally he gave the position of the leader of the Holy Gate to King Shi Xie and took the position of Prime Minister.

Shi Zhixuan is quite pragmatic.

After serving as prime minister, in addition to cooperating with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to govern the country, he also trained a large number of disciples and provided a number of professional talents to all walks of life.

Well, the Holy Gate is still full of talented people.

Even the fat man Anlong, the boss of Tianlian Sect, is a rare business genius.

It took two years to build chambers of commerce directly under the imperial court in all major provinces to carry out the transportation and dispatch of materials.

In prosperous times, it plays a huge role.

It was for this reason that when deciding on the country's name, all the civil and military officials in the court unanimously proposed to name the country "Sheng" and to establish Taoism as the state religion.

Well, it seems that Lao Zhu has done this kind of thing too.

Because the Ming Cult made great contributions, the Ming Dynasty was established.

Lin Xuan felt that the name of Holy Dynasty was quite good.

It sounds like a country with peace and prosperity, and a great country.

If it was called "Demon Dynasty", it would be a different style of painting...

In addition to the Shengmen and the Song clan, high-ranking officials above the third rank in the imperial court, martial arts masters from the martial arts world, and even the masters of Confucianism and Taoism were also invited, totaling hundreds of people.

Xiang Yutian, Zhu Yuyan, Li Jing, Wei Zheng, Xu Shiji, Shi Feixuan, and Kan Kan are among them.

It can be said that everyone here is an important figure.

"This is what has happened over the years..."

"The main reason for coming here this time is to build the Wonder Tower. It will attract the stars in the sky, gather the luck of all people, suppress the heretics, and make our human race prosper forever."

"Now that the five towers have broken ground, the Xunfeng Tower here still needs your help."

Lin Xuan glanced at everyone and said, "I am ashamed to say that my Holy Dynasty has been established for five years. During this period, I had to travel the heavens and was not here most of the time. I think this hall has only been opened a few times. I am really ashamed."

"Your Majesty, this is too harsh."

"While we enjoy a peaceful and prosperous age, Your Majesty is having to fight a life-and-death battle with those ancient giants to protect humanity in all realms."

Shi Zhixuan said solemnly: "I am a humble subject who is unable to intervene in this matter. I am extremely worried. Now I can help Your Majesty with my humble efforts, which can be regarded as a way to ease my mind."

"Song knows that people are as vicious as snakes and hide their evil intentions in the depths. But he never thought that gods and Buddhas are also like this."

Song Que knelt on his knees and said in a deep voice: "Song is not talented, but I will do my best to help your majesty."

"We are willing to share the worries of His Majesty the Saint!"

Wei Zheng, Li Jing, Zhu Yuyan and others bowed at the same time with solemn expressions.

"Thank you very much! When I left, the group was leaderless. Fortunately, the imperial court, the Holy Sect, the Song clan, and the Confucian and Taoist sects are full of talented people, and there are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Jianghu."

"You all work together to ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and we will not see the chaos of the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

Lin Xuan bowed in return: "The destiny of humanity is the origin of the Tower of All Heavens. If people's hearts are lost, even if we build a tower, it will be like water without roots and trees without fate."

"Your Majesty governs the world with benevolence. Now our dynasty is flourishing, sweeping away the fatigue of the previous dynasty. How can anyone say that people are disunited?"

Song Que said proudly: "Your Majesty just said that five wonder towers have already started construction, so we should be more serious and not let others outdo us."

"Brother Song, what you said is exactly what I want!"

"That's exactly what should happen. Our Saint Sect is full of talented people, and the court is united. If we can't even do this little thing well, won't the younger generations of the future laugh at us?"

"Marshal Song is right!"

"Father-in-law is right!"

"???"

"Damn it, Boss Song is right! If you need to work, I, Old Cheng, will come over and move the bricks right away."

After a great battle with the Turks, the country entered a period of recuperation, with the national policy focusing on recuperation and restoring the people's strength.

Many generals had nothing to do and spent their days instigating Shi Zhixuan and Song Que to send troops to attack Goguryeo, Tubo and the like.

Shi and Song were naturally unmoved, which greatly disappointed these troublemakers.

Seeing that there was something to do, the group of people suddenly became excited.

"This tower doesn't need so many people, and you are generals after all. It would be foolish of you to go and move bricks."

"Forget it. After this tower is built, I will find something for you to do."

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and smiled, "I remember that Marshal Song's civil engineering skills are considered to be at the top of the world. Can this tower be completed on schedule?"

"This tower is ingenious and mysterious. The person who designed the tower has extraordinary talent. I, Song, cannot even compare to him."

"But every aspect of this blueprint is clearly marked. If we have enough manpower and resources, it shouldn't be that difficult."

"Why not let the Song clan provide the people to build the tower? The Song family city has been under renovation for over a hundred years, and everyone in the Song clan is an expert at this. There is no need to abuse the people's manpower."

Song Que hesitated: "But Song feels that there is a big problem that is not easy to solve..."

"Marshal Song, please feel free to speak."

"This one……"

Song Que's eyes flashed: "In terms of civil engineering, Minister Lu is the best in the world. Let Minister Lu speak. Maybe there is a solution."

"Alright."

Lin Xuan looked at the Minister of Industry, Lu Miaozi, and asked, "Does Minister Lu have any advice?"

Lu Miaozi's civil engineering skills are quite good, and even involve some black technology.

The world-famous Yang Gong Treasure House was also entirely designed by him.

According to the original plot of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Miaozi died quite early.

He gave some benefits to the two dragons in the early stage, told some secrets of the treasure house, and then hurried off to get his lunch.

However, Lin Xuan and Yao Yue pushed the plot forward like crazy, and the world was settled before the old man had a chance to die.

Taking the old man's temper into consideration, Lin Xuan took Song Que to visit him three times in a row according to the etiquette of visiting the thatched cottage three times, and also cured the old man's internal injuries.

So the old man happily came out of retirement to serve as an official.

Although this old man has a bit of a strange temper, he is still very fair and indeed very capable, and he has a good reputation among his colleagues.

After all, no matter how straightforward this old man is, he can never be compared with Hai Rui, a steely straight man who only appears once in a thousand years.

"I never thought Brother Song would think so highly of me. I am truly ashamed."

"I have just discussed this with Marshal Song and Prime Minister Shi. Simply building a tower is not difficult."

"But the selection of the tower owner is quite demanding. According to the tower map, this tower corresponds to the Xun position, which represents wind and is yin. The tower owner must also be a woman."

"Your Majesty may be the supreme ruler, but as a man, you are not the master."

Lu Miaozi let out a sigh of relief: "In my opinion, since Your Majesty is the Immortal Emperor, you might as well ask the female immortals if they can come to help."

"Well, Mr. Lu, don't worry. I also know that the tower master needs a woman's body. This gathering of everyone is also for this matter."

Lin Xuan pondered and said, "Besides, there shouldn't be many female fairies of the Xunfeng genus, right?"

"There really aren't many. I originally thought that maybe I could ask Madam Chang Xi to try, but that's not appropriate..."

"I'm not familiar with Madam Chang Xi, and I don't even know where she is."

"I invited Master Zhang and Tiannv Ba before because one of them is an immortal from the human race, and the other is the adopted daughter of the Emperor of Man, so they can also be considered as human beings."

Lin Xuan waved his hand and said: "Since the Tower of All Heavens is a tower of humanity, then the human race should be the tower master."

"Your Majesty is a man of foresight. I'm sure you have already made up your mind, right?"

Lu Miaozi was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "I would like to hear your majesty's advice!"

"As a human ruler, I usually travel the heavens and have no time to take care of this realm."

"It is said that a ruler should be as important as a divine weapon, occupying a great position in the domain, and should be as high as the sky, and maintain endless peace forever."

Lin Xuan glanced at everyone and said, "I feel ashamed when I think about this, so today I want to follow the example of the ancient sages and abdicate."

"Your Majesty!"

Shi Zhixuan, Song Que and others were shocked and said quickly: "Your Majesty ruled the country with ease and did nothing, and the world was at peace. The ancient sages were no more than this. How can you abdicate for such a small matter?"

"This Tower of the Heavens is of great importance and is by no means a trivial matter."

"Besides, I have already been listed as an immortal, so I am not fit to be an emperor anymore."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "To be honest, I was originally prepared to step down and let others take over, which is why I summoned you all just now."

As soon as he spoke, the dragon robe on Lin Xuan's body changed rapidly and turned into a green Taoist outfit.

The vast Donghua Qi rolled and transformed into the magnificent Dharmakāya of Emperor Donghua.

Billions of rays of light burst forth, transforming the entire Tai Chi Hall into a sea of ​​light.

"We, we pay homage to Emperor Donghua!"

"So the Emperor is the Emperor of our Great Saint Dynasty. Our Dao Sect will prosper!"

"Oh my God! My sect has such a grand occasion. I should be smiling in my grave."

"Brother, we should worship Huang Tian..."

"My Great Saint Dynasty is invincible in the world!" All the Taoists present showed fanatical expressions, knelt on the ground decisively, and kowtowed like crazy.

"Nian'er pays respect to the Emperor!"

"Fei Xuan is getting further and further away from her master..."

"Master Ling, it turns out that the Saint King is really a Divine King! Shall we kowtow to him too? Well, are you already kowtow?"

Although all those present were experts, their determination was extremely firm.

But the Dharmakāya of Emperor Donghua gives people a feeling of being too magnificent...

Even Xiang Yutian, a peerless martial arts master whose martial arts had already reached the level of a half-step human immortal, felt his scalp tingling when he saw the Dharma body of Emperor Donghua.

He had no doubt that Lin Xuan could kill him and make him fall into eternal damnation with just a thought.

Even the great demon of the past was not so terrifying as to possess such an irresistible power.

This made Xiang Yutian feel a little lost involuntarily.

"Immortals live forever, while human dynasties are governed by destiny. It is indeed inappropriate for an immortal to serve as an emperor in the human world..."

Shi Zhixuan was also a little confused, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Since His Majesty has abdicated for this reason, then we can't persuade him. But the emperors of the world also have their own destiny. If an ordinary woman takes the throne of the emperor, I am afraid that disaster will happen."

Lin Xuan’s opponents today are basically all mythical giants.

When talking about secrets, there are probably some causes and consequences...

Given the level of cultivation of these ministers, it would be better for them not to know too much.

Therefore, when Lin Xuan mentioned his experiences before, he mostly just mentioned them briefly.

Shi Zhixuan thought that Lin Xuan's "becoming an immortal" was a metaphor for a state above the broken void.

Considering that His Majesty the Emperor could even defeat the Great Demon, Shi Zhixuan didn't think it was too strange.

But in the blink of an eye, Lin Xuan transformed into Emperor Donghua, emitting billions of rays of light...

Nong Shi Zhixuan was also speechless and felt that the world was becoming strange.

"What Prime Minister Shi said makes sense. Although our dynasty governs the country according to the Taoist philosophy of inaction, it is indeed difficult for an ordinary woman to bear the throne."

"The so-called destiny of humanity may be a little illusory in your eyes. But this thing is the foundation of the Tower of All Heavens after all, and we can only choose the master based on it."

Lin Xuan glanced at Zhu Yuyan and others who were thinking differently: "The matter has been made very clear, and all the women present can give it a try. Whoever can light up the Xunfeng Pearl will be appointed as the master of Xunfeng Tower by me."

"This one……"

Kankan hesitated for a moment: "Kankan is now the Saint of the Saint Sect. If I am lucky enough to light up this bead..."

"The position of the leader of Xunfeng Pagoda must be held by a woman."

Lin Xuan thought about it, then laughed and said, "Now the Lord of Xunfeng Pagoda can temporarily occupy the position of the Son of Heaven and accumulate the luck of humanity. After a few years, the Lord of Xunfeng Pagoda will choose whether to be the emperor or the immortal official."

"How come the emperor is like a temporary worker in the mouth of the Holy Lord..."

Xianxian muttered a few words: "Xian'er is not very enthusiastic about being the emperor, but if the Holy Lord lets me try, I will definitely obey."

"I called you all together to give it a try. What's there to refuse?"

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly: "Don't think that making these beads resonate is a common thing. Sometimes you can't find a suitable candidate in the entire plane."

"OK then……"

Wan Wan was a little worried: "If we women become the emperor, Uncle Shi and Uncle Song will be willing to help, right?"

"The Emperor has already said that this Tower of the Heavens is the Tower of Humanity. If this tower recognizes its master, we will certainly assist it with all our strength."

Shi Zhixuan smiled and said, "You can rest assured. According to the court system improved by the Saint King, it is very difficult to become a tyrant."

"OK then."

Xianxian bowed to Zhu Yuyan and said, "Master, you go and try first."

"I am already quite old, why am I still fighting over this?"

Zhu Yuyan shook her head and said, "In my eyes, you and Qing'er are both pretty good. Well, Miss Shi is not bad either, go and give it a try."

"You and your disciples are good at martial arts, but you are so fussy when you talk."

Hong Funu rolled her eyes, walked to the Xunfeng Pearl floating in the air, and touched it with her hand: "Where do children of Jianghu get so many rules?"

The Xunfeng Pearl trembled slightly, but there was no luster at all.

“It’s really difficult…”

Hong Fu Nu shrugged her shoulders in a casual manner, turned around and walked to Li Jing's side: "I am not destined to be a fairy, so I can only be content to be a royal lady. You should work hard."

Li Jing: "..."

"Then let's try it too..."

The atmosphere became much more relaxed after being interrupted by Hong Fu.

Kanan gritted her teeth, stretched out her little hand and covered the Xunfeng Pearl.

The Xunfeng Pearl emits a faint green light that is almost indistinguishable.

"This one……"

Xianxian was stunned, and looked at Lin Xuan awkwardly: "Saint Lord, is this considered glowing?"

"What do you think?"

"It should be..., but it still can't be considered..."

Qianqian sighed and said in self-abandonment, "This time I am embarrassed."

"At least it's a little brighter, which is quite rare."

Lin Xuan's mind moved slightly: "But this shouldn't be your own luck, it just seemed a bit like a mirage."

"Hmm? What do you mean by that, Saint?"

"Let others try first."

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves and said, "Qingxuan, Qing'er, Feixuan, why are you all standing there? Do you want me to call out your names one by one?"

"Don't dare!"

The three women tried in turn, but the Xunfengzhu was still lifeless and didn't move at all.

"Oh, why is this bead so disrespectful?"

Kou Zhong looked extremely anxious: "Young Master Ling, shall we try it too?"

"Just now, Minister Lu said that he wanted a girl. Why did Master Zhong go and join in the fun?"

Xu Ziling was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that Master Zhong is imitating Hua Mulan in the past, disguising himself as a man and going through life and death with me?"

"Go away! You have a beautiful idea!"

Kou Zhong felt a chill and said, "I was afraid of delaying the Saint's business, so I made a slip of the tongue."

"Shut up, both of you!"

Kanan glared at Kou Zhong fiercely, then sighed softly.

Seeing that Shi Feixuan also failed, she felt relieved but also felt a little regretful.

There is no Cihang Jingzhai now, but people still compare her with Shi Feixuan out of habit.

Although Shi Feixuan focused on education and was not very interested in martial arts.

But relying solely on the demon seed in her body, she can improve her cultivation by just eating and sleeping.

As a result, during this period of time, apart from teaching her apprentices, Xianxian also had to practice hard, which made her very tired.

If Shi Feixuan became the master of Xunfeng Pagoda, then she would be sure that she could not compete with him, and she could just lie down and give up.

Unfortunately, I have to continue rolling...

"We are ashamed, we are not the master."

Zhu Yuyan also tried it, but when she saw that Xunfengzhu ignored her, she said helplessly, "Please ask the Holy Lord to issue an order to gather the power of our Holy Dynasty and ask all the talented women in the country to come and try it."

"It would be weird if word got out that we were doing this with such fanfare."

Lin Xuan laughed and said, "I'm afraid others think that this dynasty is also going to select concubines."

"But this matter is much more important than selecting a concubine..."

"It's important, but don't bother."

Lin Xuan looked at Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, please ask your disciple to come over and try."

"Disciple?"

Xianxian was stunned: "Your Majesty, are you talking about Er?"

"Is she still called Wu Wei at this time? This name is really not as good as the one she changed herself."

Lin Xuan pondered and said, "Take her to the palace. If Xun Fengzhu approves of her, you can call her 'Zetian' from now on."

To be honest, Lin Xuan had never seen this version of Wu Zetian, and didn't know her personality.

He is usually closer to Kankan, Shi Qingxuan and others.

So Lin Xuan gave the opportunity to others and did not directly choose Wu Zetian.

If other women can get Xun Fengzhu's approval, that would also be fine.

But unfortunately, these beads seem to have strict selection criteria.

It's fine that Shi Qingxuan and Shi Feixuan are indifferent by nature, but even the ambitious Zhu Yuyan can't let this bead show its ability.

Then Lin Xuan had no choice but to give up.

If we use emperors as the standard, Wu Zetian's legendary status is indeed far greater than that of this group of people.

Let’s make good use of the time later to create a quick version of “Zetian the Little Saint”.

"what?"

Wan Wan thought of the dim light of the Xun Feng Pearl just now, and her mind moved: "Wan Er understands! Saint Lord, please wait a moment!"
