Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Spring in Mingzhou is often humid and rainy, and the water vapor from the southern coast is like a gentle wipe, injecting new vitality into the earth.

On this day, the city was drizzled like a crisp.

An old man wearing scarlet court clothes walked in the thin rain curtain. He was slightly hunched, but his steps were as fast as flying. A shield of true energy that protected his body gently bloomed from his body, blocking the rain from the outside and preventing the court clothes from being stained.

Soon, he followed a long staircase and gradually climbed up to a high platform. There was an exquisite palace on the platform. Its dome was carved from water-colored soft jade. Its design was unique and its carving was exquisite. Now it is in fine detail. The rainbow-like sheen glowed in the rain, which was so beautiful... It was completely impossible to tell that just over a month ago, it was just a temporary patch for expediency.

Outside the palace, there was a group of fully armed Imperial Guards. These iron guards at least have the cultivation level of a new god, and they are like puppets refined by ruthless methods, exuding a coldness that does not belong to humans. After seeing the old man, one of the golden-domed iron guards whispered to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xia Houying would like to see you."

"Oh, I see."

The next moment, the wooden door of the main hall slowly opened inward, revealing a soft golden candlelight. In the hall, Wang Luo was sitting behind a desk with piles of official documents. More than a dozen red talismans symbolizing urgency were floating around him, but he turned a blind eye.

Seeing this, Xia Houying twitched his eyebrows slightly, but remained silent. He just bowed his head and followed the simple etiquette of a prime minister meeting the emperor...

"No courtesy. If you have something to say, come over and work overtime. I'm not going to read the official documents here, I've left them all to you."

When Xia Houying heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head, but he quickly raised his head and responded seriously: "I'm here to ask for instructions about this year's spring plowing..."

"I told you before that you don't need to ask me for advice on these issues. You can make up your own mind. It's best to take my newly engraved official seal with you and seal it when you want." Wang Luo sighed, "If you really can't make up your mind, go to the back hall and ask Tuo. Postian Cheng, let those academy experts give you authoritative arguments. If anything happens like this, they will be blamed... It is really not possible to find a few interns and temporary workers to be responsible for delivering the documents, and then blame them for poor delivery. In short The problem cannot be found in your head.”

Xia Houying couldn't help but sigh: "I... know it."

However, after sighing, Xia Houying neither went to work overtime nor resigned. Instead, he stayed where he was, with a trace of hesitation on his face.

Wang Luo asked: "Speak directly if you have anything to say, don't let me guess. Don't imitate little girls at your age."

Xia Houying had no choice but to bite the bullet and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, is it really irreversible to abdicate?"

Wang Luo smiled and said, "Why, you think Gan Ai is wise and mighty and can be a role model for the emperor, so you don't want to let him go?"

Xia Houying had no choice but to speak bluntly again: "After the rebellion in Dongdu, the Queen Mother was promoted to immortality, and the Yang family lost its backbone, the structure of the court must undergo earth-shaking changes. Not only the minor officials, but everyone in the court must have been prepared for this. But …”

"There's no need to tell you so much about the background. Let's just talk about the topic. Do you think Li Fengxian is not suitable?"

Xia Houying was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said solemnly: "It's inappropriate! Although he has talent and courage, he has no virtue and no popularity! If he is hastily promoted to the throne, it will only make the hearts of all the counties in the world unstable. The situation that has rarely stabilized will fall into chaos again.”

Wang Luo smiled and explained: "You can slowly boast about your virtue and popularity. You can also entrust Tuoba Tiancheng with relevant plans. Those academy scholars are very strong and are best at this kind of composition. In addition, you can also find some The historian revised the Notes on the Life of the Late Emperor and wrote Li Fengxian as the illegitimate son of Gan Yinghua, just as we planned outside Liuyan City. This way, even the legal system is not lacking. As for the fluctuation of people's hearts in the world, it is a major misunderstanding on your part. For most ordinary people who live from sunrise to sunset, it never matters whether the person on the throne is surnamed Gan or Li, and it doesn't even matter whether the person is a dog or not. They are the local gentry who often manipulate the people's hearts for their own benefit. It’s the floating minds that really matter. Without these people liaising with the organization, no matter how the people’s minds float, they won’t move anywhere.”

"but……"

"So, whose mind is wandering, which makes you think that the people of the whole country may be unstable? Make a list of the most wandering people for me. I will go through the Immortal Record later and try to get his name. Write your name and tick it.”

When Xia Houying heard this, he immediately became as silent as a cicada and did not dare to say anything more: "This matter was caused by my misunderstanding. Please forgive me."

Wang Luo said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. You are the prime minister, and you do have a say in the choice of the emperor under the current situation. It's not a crime. But you should also think that if Xinheng can't even accept a change of emperor, why not?" How to prepare for the future? We can still discuss the choice of emperor here, but there is no need to discuss the entry of the Immortal Alliance. It will be beneficial to both people and ourselves. "

Xia Houying was completely speechless at this moment. He bowed and was about to leave, but was soon blocked by several flashing red talismans. When he raised his head again, Wang Luo was no longer behind the table.

In desperation, Xia Houying had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and was pushed by the magic talismans to sit in Wang Luo's seat to deal with the mountain of paperwork.

On the other side, Wang Luo had arrived at the Dongdu Qianxing Platform outside Fancheng in an instant.

After more than a month, a free transmission channel has been built between the High Hall of the Temple of Heaven and the Eastern Capital Qianxing Platform. As for Zhang Jincheng on the stage, he was no longer in a miserable state with only a remnant soul, and had to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form a temporary body.

An immortal puppet modeled after a real person is standing on the stage. The puppet looks handsome and upright, with white clothes and red lips, just like a reclusive immortal in a painting. Today, the heroic spirit Zhang Jincheng in the picture temporarily resides in this thing.

However, after seeing Wang Luo, Zhang Jincheng had a look of helplessness on his face. For a moment, even the drizzle around him was blown away by the wind, and he seemed to become a little sadder.

"Lord Mountain Master, this puppet...can't you really change it?"

Wang Luo said: "Why, what else are you dissatisfied with? But this is the immortal-level treasure given by the previous generation of Hongyinfang's master craftsmen. It is several times stronger than your original body. I have searched it all There is no better collection found in the Imperial City's Forbidden Treasury..."

Zhang Jincheng said helplessly: "I'm not dissatisfied, I'm... too satisfied. The craftsman of the Red Marriage Workshop who was gifted by the immortal was not good at sociability and was lonely all her life. When she was refining the puppet, she put all her beautiful imagination of the opposite sex into After being integrated into the puppet, I can now spit out rainbows when I sneeze. This is too... too exaggerated. Every time I am possessed, I feel like I am no longer me."

"Isn't this great? Your popularity among female audiences will be unparalleled. As for self-perception, when you become a Heroic Spirit, you will inevitably face a similar situation. People will worship you and beautify everything about you. , so that you are no longer you in the story. But this kind of excessive belief can bring real power to resolve the situation. In many cases, the truth is not as effective as lies, so adapt early and don't be pretentious. . If the Immortal Alliance encounters any obstacles from the public in the future, I will still need you, the heroic national master, to spray rainbows and guide public opinion."

Hearing such words, Zhang Jincheng had no choice but to sigh slightly sadly, making the breeze in the rain seem to sigh with him.

"So, what is the mission of the mountain master to find me today?"

Wang Luo said: "It's not about being on an errand. I'm just skipping work temporarily to avoid official duties. I'll tell you some good news that I can't completely confirm yet."

Zhang Jincheng was stunned and puzzled at first, then thought of something, his face lit up, and he quickly acted like he was listening.

Suddenly, a ray of sunshine and a rainbow burst out from the rain clouds over Dongdu.

Wang Luo couldn't help but be speechless: "This seems to be a bit exaggerated, and it can easily reduce the male support rate... But back to the topic, a few days ago, we sent a batch of messenger flying swords to the Immortal League, and the results have been achieved."

"..." Zhang Jincheng was stunned for a moment, shocked by the news that he had expected.

After the Dongdu Rebellion ended, Wang Luo immediately sent the news back to the Immortal Alliance... However, there was a technical problem.

The two places seemed not far apart, but the information was completely isolated - that day, the Golden Immortal of Wonderful Magic came to the world and shattered Xinheng's glazed net, but the damage was only partial and did not affect the entire territory. Moreover, the Lord of Heaven repaired most of them before returning to Jingzhou.

Without the protection of Liuliwang, Xinheng would have to face the risk of survival in Mingzhou, a place full of wild beasts. Therefore, the existence of Liuli Net is still indispensable... But Liuli Net is indispensable. It will be even more difficult for Wang Luo to get in touch with the Immortal Alliance in Xinheng.

Even if it is Feishenglu, it is difficult to break through the isolation of this treasure of the Immortal Family and directly talk to the Lingshan people in the Immortal Alliance. And it was inconvenient for him to go back in person, let alone choose a reliable messenger, so he simply used a powerful method that worked wonders - he collected nearly 10,000 messenger flying swords from all the counties and armies in Xinheng, and then unified them all. The swords fired together and shot towards the Immortal Alliance with mighty force.

Next, as long as the Immortal Alliance does not treat this sword array as a long-range strike and directly intercept it in mid-air... then even if there are many dangers between the two places, there should always be a few flying swords that can successfully reach their destination and will Important information is conveyed.

Now it seems that although this method seems clumsy and crude, it is actually effective.

"So, the news about your family has also been responded to."

When Zhang Jincheng heard this, he couldn't help but hold his breath and felt a little at a loss.

"Oh, although you didn't mention it last time, I am quite curious. And now that you are a heroic spirit of Ning Yuan Tu, you should have a testable background. In short, according to Qing Yuan, the leader of Ziwu Kingdom, According to Jun's investigation, your father's family should be from the original family in Yangquan County...and to this day, the original family is still from Yangquan and several surrounding counties. If you have the opportunity to go to Yangquan, you can pay homage to your ancestor's name. , has been included in the genealogy.”

Zhang Jincheng nodded silently.

"However, there is no hurry. You can't leave until this ninth Ning Yuan Diagram is connected with Bafang Dinghuang. And to realize the connection, we still have a lot of things to do."

At this point, Wang Luo also sighed.

Many of these things were really not what he wanted to do. Unfortunately, just like Zhang Jincheng had to accept the puppet, Wang Luo also had to accept the job at hand.

After the rebellion in Dongdu, he temporarily stayed in the Temple of Heaven in Fancheng to preside over the aftermath of Xinheng. After all, you have to deal with the chores here before you can see the Lord of Heaven again...

However, this process took a full month. Although Wang Luo had immediately summoned a group of think tanks from the local academy to brainstorm and come up with a plan, even though the backbone of the Yang family, headed by Yang Jiuchong, also stood by him very wisely. There was no needless resistance on this side... However, Yang Shijun's sudden departure still left Xinheng without a leader. Coupled with the sudden death of Dasheng Guanzhu and the death of Feng Guogong, the domestic situation was turbulent for a while. Not to mention steadily cultivating the cornerstone of the Desolation of Desolation and supporting the Desolation of Desolation enchantment. If it is not handled properly, there may even be the risk of civil war and division.

At this point in time, the only one with enough prestige to make all parties surrender, and even make the people return, is Wang Luo, an "outsider" who is inextricably linked to the old royal family.

The so-called inextricable connection means that he is not only the clone of the late emperor Gan Yinghua, but also the dead and alive heir who inherited the true bloodline of Gan Yinghua. At the same time, he is the reincarnation of the founder of the country, and the resonance body between Xinheng and the Immortal Alliance... At that time, the academy scholars There was a heated debate over Wang Luo's origin theory, and the final conclusion was to adopt a multi-pronged approach, and all the theories were laid out together for the public to freely use.

The effect was extraordinary. Wang Luo, who had countless blessings from legends, won the surrender of the imperial court in an extremely short time, so he had no choice but to temporarily take charge of the country's affairs as a special envoy.

"By the way, this time the Immortal Alliance also proposed a very interesting plan. After carefully considering the current situation, they prepared to build temporary desolate fortresses between Xinheng and the Immortal Alliance - ten in total. Starting from the foot of Lingshan Mountain, one will be dropped every thirty to fifty kilometers, and then all the way to Liuyan City, a safe passage can be opened for free communication between the two countries."

Hearing this, Zhang Jincheng couldn't help but restrain his distracting thoughts about himself, and began to think seriously about business, and then he was sincerely amazed.

"There are ten Dinghuang fortresses in a row... The power of the Immortal Alliance is really unbelievable. And the decisiveness of their decision-making is even more admirable."

Wang Luo said: "It just coincides with the development cycle of Zhuwang, and the production capacity is naturally sufficient... As for making decisive decisions, huh, this method will never be passed in normal times, because the risk is too high. There is no complete Protected by the Bafang Dinghuang Barrier, the lonely fortress may be destroyed by one or two immortal officials from the lower realm at any time. But now, even the Lord of Heaven has reconciled, and the safety risks should be minimal, so you can take a gamble. ”

Zhang Jincheng couldn't help but ask: "Even I, who has witnessed it, find it unbelievable about the Lord of Heaven. Does the Immortal Alliance... just believe it like that?"

Regarding this issue, Wang Luo said: "It's hard to say whether others believe it or not, but the person who can really make the decision must believe it."
