Chapter 1032 I am the world
[Cao Changqing, from "The Swordsman in the Snow".]
Respectfully called Cao Guanzi, he was ranked among the top three in martial arts evaluation for many years and was known as the invincible one.
After the fall of Western Chu, Cao Changqing entered Tai'an City three times and the Imperial Palace twice over the years, and was only one step away from assassinating Emperor Liyang.
He wanted to find the princess of Western Chu to restore the country, but he didn't know that the princess Jiang Ni was right beside Xu Fengnian. Known as "the one who has the most romantic and elegant astronomical knowledge", he asked the white-robed monk Li Dangxin to compile a new calendar in Liangchan Temple to save Western Chu.
Later, he took Jiang Ni away from Xu Fengnian. He became a Confucian sage in Xileibi, secretly contacted the remnants of Xichu to build momentum for the restoration of the country, and promised to win over Gu Jiantang to help him win the Central Plains. The restoration of the country was only to prove that Sejia was not the cause of trouble for Xichu.
Before his death, he was in the heavenly realm on land, and changed from Confucianism to hegemony, and his combat power was the highest among the four great masters at that time. 】
Cao Changqing is also one of the five supreme pillars of the country, and is the commander of the Human Path Legion among the Six Path Legions.
Compared to Liu Zhengtang, who only holds the honorary title of Shang Zhuguo, the weight of his standing up at this moment is extraordinary.
In particular, he defeated the two Hidden Dragon Envoys with ease, which shocked the three elders in the Worship Hall.
But now, facing the questioning of Emperor Xuan, he did not behave as defiantly as Liu Zhengtang did. Instead, his eyes were filled with a hint of grievance after being betrayed.
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to abdicate?"
"Cao Changqing! I am asking you, do you want to be with this criminal?"
The moment their eyes met, Yu Huangtian, who had been showing unprecedented arrogance, suddenly sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, forget it this time."
"Your Majesty!" Cao Changqing suddenly stepped forward, his eyes full of stubbornness, "I don't care about your promise to the other four supreme statesmen. I even think that once this promise is fulfilled, it will be a real disaster!
I just want to know whether your ambitions remain the same as when you talked with me about the layout of the world that night!
Also, is there someone behind the succession? "
The moment he finished speaking, the two Hidden Dragon Envoys whose wrists had just been crushed suddenly attacked him. It took them a while to react. It turned out that they failed to make an example of someone and instead their limited face was trampled on again by the other party!
Even though the two Hidden Dragon Envoys were under Heaven's suppression, they were still unwilling to accept being defeated so easily!
After all, if we really talk about the strength of these envoys from outer space, even if they are judged to be from the Great Xuan Dynasty, these Hidden Dragon Envoys are the most severely suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. If they encounter the rampant Murong Fu yesterday, they can kill him in a one-on-one situation!
So after realizing that the Cao Changqing who had repelled them was at most in the middle stage of the Dharma Realm, the two of them decisively decided to save face on the spot!
In order to be on the safe side, the two Hidden Dragon Envoys standing in the Hidden Dragon Hall team, a total of four people, chose to attack together!
boom--!
In an instant, the sudden gust of air pushed back all the ministers, but the strength of these ministers present could also be seen from the impact of the remaining force.
People like Li Taike and the six cabinet ministers casually waved their sleeves, and the surrounding space was instantly distorted, and they easily and comfortably eliminated the incoming storm. The response methods of the other four senior pillars of the country also did not seem to be difficult.
He directly activated the Qi shield and blocked the impact head-on.
On the side of the Worship Hall, Qi Lianhua stood out, snapped his fingers, and an invisible sword force turned into a barrier, blocking all the dust that was sweeping over.
Afterwards, people like Cao Zhengchun, Han Diaosi, Lu Yulou, Li Qianshou also used their own methods. Although they seemed to be much more serious in dealing with it than the previous strong men, at least they would not be covered with dust and look embarrassed in such a solemn occasion.
As for the only one of the Four Great Constables present, Nie Yunhua's strength was obviously not enough, but he was cunning enough to approach the disciples of the school, and using them to help save the little face that was left of the Six Gates.
At the same time, Jade Emperor, who was on the thirty-three heavenly steps, sighed deeply.
It was said that in order to control the Six Paths Legion and ensure that he had a certain amount of security force in his hands, he did make all kinds of promises to the Military Merit Group, such as the promise to the five great pillars.
It is said that it will be divided up at the right time.
As an existence that was once used to check and balance the eight great families, they are the most hostile to the eight great families, but also the most envious and eager.
After all, the owner of these eight states is said to be the Great Xuan Dynasty, but in terms of actual control, it belongs to the eight major families.
Although the governors appointed later also had the power to recruit soldiers, which seemed to limit the possibility of the eight great families becoming local emperors to a certain extent, the truth was that these governors either colluded with the local families or were brought into disgrace.
Including the eight major families today, some seem to be disabled or dead.
Its influence in the local area cannot be ignored.
For example, the southwestern prefecture that Ghost Market incorporated into its territory was originally owned by the Zinong Xie family. However, because they were caught off guard by Yu Cangmiao, the entire family was killed. As a result, the Xie family completely disappeared from the stage of hegemony before they could truly demonstrate the most powerful side of their family connections.
However, the demise of the Zinong Xie family does not mean that everything has been settled.
It seems like the hidden pawns that Xie of Zinong had laid in ambush in the early years are now taking advantage of the outbreak of the rat tide to create some small internal unrest.
For this reason, Qin Fan did not mobilize the troops stationed in the three southern states. Even the Quxi Yuan family had to help Yuan Suiyun, the governor of the state, to watch the southwestern state that could become chaotic at any time.
The previous plan to have the Huanjia Fang family move to the southwestern provincial capital was also to use the methods of the aristocratic families to deal with the troubles left behind by the aristocratic families.
To get back to the point, the terrifying influence and control of the land by the eight great families is the next target of the five great pillar states. However, due to the restrictions imposed by the seventeenth Emperor Xuan, a rule was set that the five great pillar states cannot be divided into eight states.
This also led to the fact that these five major families could suppress the eight major families in the imperial city, but once they left Zhongxuan Province, they could only behave themselves.
Therefore, if one wants to break the rules, only another Xuan Emperor can lift the ban.
It was also because he had grasped the most desired pursuits of the five major pillar states that the Jade Emperor was able to hold the military power firmly in his hands despite the apparent situation of the ministers being strong and the monarch being weak.
This is also the reason why Liu Zhengtang behaved so inappropriately when Jade Emperor wanted to pass on the throne.
After all, not every Xuan Emperor dares to overturn the ban of his ancestors. In addition, the eight great families are now in the weakest state in the past two thousand years. If the five great pillars do not attack at once, they will not even be able to eat the hot food.
However, not every Shangzhuguo has this idea.
For example, Cao Changqing.
He is a loyal minister who is devoted to his country. His goal is to seize the kingship of King Wuwei and annihilate the Ten Northern Barbarian Kings who have been eyeing the north. This weakness is easily discovered by Yuhuangtian.
And in front of him, he fully revealed his side as a wise ruler of all ages.
And with his talent, if he wanted to govern the country well, it would not be a difficult task. Even without Qin Fan's intervention, he would have a great chance of killing Yu Wusi.
But the key point is that he had long seen through the nature of the Great Xuan Dynasty and knew in advance that there is always someone better.
Therefore, in his view, the throne has become a prison that restricts his pursuit of immortality. Even if he governs the Great Xuan Dynasty well, it will be of no use, as it will be nothing but a handful of earth in a few decades.
So he hit it off with the equally restless Yu Cangmiao, and did not mind showing his cowardly side in the court. Everything was in preparation for today.
But he still felt some guilt towards Cao Changqing.
"Your Majesty, it seems that these Hidden Dragon Envoys cannot defeat this Cao Guanzi unless they are unsealed."
It was the young eunuch who spoke, his brows showing a hint of eagerness to try. According to the original novel, Cao Changqing failed in assassinating the emperor several times, or it could be said that this was an impossible thing.
The root cause was the presence of this young eunuch.
The fate of the two has long been entangled. Even if it is not as dangerous as a fatal calamity, a battle is inevitable.
After hearing the young eunuch's words, Yu Huangtian calmed down his excited mood and looked at the four Hidden Dragon Envoys who were fighting four against one and were being chased and beaten by Cao Changqing.
When Cao Zhangqing threw a domineering punch, Yu Huangtian's pupils shrank slightly and said:
"Is this... the rule of space? It feels a little off."
"He is a practitioner of both civil and martial arts. He should have absorbed the original owner's experience of changing from Confucianism to hegemony. By learning from the civil and Taoist system, he gained a full understanding of the rules of space and then integrated it into his own boxing."
The young eunuch also felt a little emotional.
The practitioners of the Taoist way are the most agile with their control over space, but they lack the high burst and high endurance characteristics compared to warriors. Now Cao Changqing not only possesses the strength of a warrior, but also fully integrates the Taoist way's use of the rules of space.
On the field, he almost transformed into four bodies, completely dividing the four Hidden Dragon Envoys into four different battlefields, leaving them no chance to join forces.
"At this point, all I need is an answer."
A white chess piece suddenly appeared in Cao Changqing's hand. The moment he threw it into the sky, a phantom of a chessboard with 19 lines vertically and horizontally covered the sky and the earth. In an instant, the four Hidden Dragon Envoys became stiff.
Faced with the four black chess pieces that were bouncing towards his face, he couldn't even dodge!
And in his eyes, a black spot seemed to fill the entire world, rushing towards him like a mountain range that could collapse the world!
Boom! X4
Explosions sounded in all directions, and after Cao Changqing collected the white pieces that fell from the crack in the sky, the four of them vomited blood and flew backwards towards the location of the remaining two Hidden Dragon Envoys.
Then Cao Changqing did not even look at the situation of the Hidden Dragon Envoys, but walked to the Thirty-three Heavens Steps again, bowed solemnly and said:
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask you for an explanation!"
"Your Majesty, I do the same!" Liu Zhengtang also stood up at this time. Although he realized that Cao Changqing and he might not be the same kind of people, but as the same Supreme Pillar of the State, and following the momentum of the other party defeating the four Hidden Dragon Envoys, he also wanted to take off the hat that Yuhuangtian had just put on his head!
"I would like to ask, what crime have I committed?"
Yu Huangtian first looked at Cao Changqing with a headache, who looked stubborn. After he gave a look to the young eunuch beside him, the other's figure disappeared instantly. Then there was a loud bang, and the figures of the two appeared in the sky.
Just when the ministers thought they had to wait for another fight to end.
Yu Huangtian spoke.
"Oh, what do you think?"
He was asking Liu Zhengtang. At this moment, there was no longer the struggle in his eyes that he had when facing Cao Changqing. What was left was calmness, indifference, and a kind of indifference.
This look also completely angered Liu Zhengtang. You know, in his impression, Yu Huangtian was just a useless emperor who could only drive the five great pillars of the country with empty checks and barely gain a foothold in this imperial city.
Especially a few days ago, it was reported that Queen Xuan had an affair with an outsider!
A man who can't even take care of his own wife can no longer be described as trash!
Of course, from his point of view, he naturally hoped that Jade Emperor Heaven would become as useless as possible, but now he saw this piece of trash looking at him with such a gaze as if he were an ant.
He couldn't help but burst into cold laughter.
"Hahahaha, if you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext!
I only know that those who are praised as criminals by Your Majesty are the pillars that support the entire dynasty!
This time, Your Majesty acted on his own will without informing any of your ministers beforehand. Doesn't this also mean that those present here are not trustworthy, and can even be considered guilty ministers?
In other words, they are all traitors!
Hahahahahahaha, you are a traitor!"
Liu Zhengtang first pointed his finger at Li Taike, the prime minister.
"You, you, you are also traitors!"
Then he pointed to the six ministers standing behind him, with their eyes on the nose and their nose on the heart.
"And you, all of you, are traitors!"
Liu Zhengtang let out a thunderous laugh, and the arrogance in his eyes was gradually filled with madness. His eyes were bloodshot and his breathing became more and more rapid.
He looked at the Jade Emperor who was standing on the thirty-three heaven steps, who had no talent but controlled the entire world.
He then looked at the Hidden Dragon Envoys who looked like a bunch of miserable rats. In his opinion, the dignity and nobility of the so-called angels from outer space were not as worthy of respect as that of a third-rank official.
He felt the hot blood rushing to his chest, and the crazy thoughts that emerged in his mind made him shout:
"The pillars of a country are its foundation, and the noble families are its roots.
Now that the noble family no longer exists, the pillar of the country has been demoted to a criminal and a traitor!
This is betraying Daxuan and betraying the entire world!
Hahahaha, you want to pass on the throne, right? Then everyone, stand up and depose this tyrant together!"
His voice echoed in front of the altar, causing horror to appear in the eyes of the ministers who had only wanted to watch a good show!
It was because of his words that Dugu Qiubai, who had already endured to the limit, drew his sword!
It was a flash of sword light that seemed to cut through the sky, directly shattering the shoulder blade of the increasingly arrogant Liu Zhengtang!
Seeing that only one person took action, Liu Zhengtang's expression became more and more fanatical. He burst out with an aura that was just one step away from breaking through the Dharma Realm. After his vitality burned, a vague black shadow gradually condensed behind him!
"Jade Emperor, I am the Supreme Pillar of the Nation, and today I will restore order to the world!"
Its speed reached its peak at this moment. Dugu Qiubai wanted to intercept it, but was pinned to the spot by a terrifying pressure.
"You said, I have betrayed the world?"
The majestic power of merit condensed into a five-clawed golden dragon behind the Jade Emperor, one of its claws was tightly gripping Liu Zhengtang's head!
Then a sneer and the sound of heads smashing resounded through the sky.
The flying five-clawed golden dragon cast a shadow on the entire sky. The face that used to be kind and slightly cowardly now revealed a domineering and willful attitude that the ministers had never seen before.
"What a joke! I am the world."
The voice of Jade Emperor began to echo. In an instant, heaven and earth became solemn, and the whole world seemed to have lost its color.
