This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 518 The Last Word
Lanling City, Imperial Palace.

Although the imperial palace was protected by the Xuanqiong Yuji True Dragon Formation, the battle between Yun Shu and Jing Heng still destroyed dozens of palaces, many bridges and attics.

After the war, the corpses and ruins everywhere had not been completely cleared away, so the once magnificent and majestic palace now had a sense of decay.

Gyeongdeok Palace, the prince's bedroom, was also affected and turned into complete ruins.

Fortunately, everyone inside was evacuated in advance and there were no casualties.

During these two days, the prince did not choose to live in another palace, but stayed in the imperial study.

In the battle two days ago, he suffered the backlash of the country's fortune and was also seriously injured.

Fortunately, he was young and strong, and had taken good care of himself over the years. At the last and most critical moment, the emperor took the initiative to take control of the country's destiny and bore the most intense backlash for him.

Therefore, the prince only suffered damage to his vitality in the end, and he only needs to recuperate for a few years. There will be no sequelae, and even no shortening of his life.

After being treated by the imperial physician, the prince has been spending the past two days in the imperial study, handling various affairs.

The emperor passed away suddenly, and there are so many things to deal with!

Fortunately, Jing Heng was severely injured and repelled, and the battle of Baifeng Plain was won after all, and the situation did not become unmanageable.

The central cabinet has the Prime Minister Ye Ze'an in charge, so there will be no chaos.

After two days of continuous busy work, the prince finally managed to temporarily stabilize the hearts of the people in the court and the capital.

"Your Highness, Commander Xing Sinan has led the Qingshuang Army to the Jingji camp."

The imperial eunuch Feng Cheng stood outside the study and reported to the prince respectfully.

The Jingji Camp is outside Lanling City. It is a place specifically for the army to garrison and provide supplies.

Before this, the Sky Blue Cavalry had been stationed in the Gyeonggi Camp for a long time.

The Qingshuang Army, which had come all the way from the North to "serve the king", finally arrived in Lanling City!
Upon hearing the news, the prince, whose face was still a little pale, put down the memorial in his hand and looked obviously much more relaxed.

Although the Buddhists were repelled, the national teacher Yun Shu was also dead, and Wen Renzheng and the Tianlan Iron Cavalry were still outside.

The capital city at this time is the weakest in history!
If someone still wants to do something bad, the prince really doesn’t know if he can hold on.

He has been staying in the imperial study for the past two days, because the imperial seal is kept here, which is the core of the Xuanqiong Yuji True Dragon Formation and can mobilize the power of the formation at the fastest speed!
Only by staying here can he feel some sense of security.

When the prince heard that the Qingshuang Army had finally arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and his tense heartstrings relaxed.

With the Qingshuang Army in charge, and the support he mobilized from the Xuanqiong Yuji True Dragon Array, even if Jingheng entered the city again in his prime, he could still fight!
After all, Yun Shu's condition was too bad, and he was definitely not as good as the full-strength Qingshuang Army. And the closer the distance, the stronger the power that the Xuanqiong Yuji True Dragon Formation could give.

Even with the support of the emperor's dragon energy, the Sky Blue Iron Cavalry far away in the Baifeng Plain could only barely suppress the Heavenly King Zhenhe.

But if the duel takes place outside Lanling City, King Zhenhe will be suppressed!
"I see, Eunuch Feng, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

The prince spoke to Feng Cheng in a gentle tone.

The situation was able to stabilize so quickly in the past two days. The central cabinet mainly relied on the Prime Minister Ye Ze'an, while the imperial palace mainly relied on this eunuch with the cultivation of a grandmaster.

Feng Cheng bowed slightly, still looking respectful:
"Your Highness is too polite. It's all part of my job."

The prince nodded, his eyes suddenly reddened:

"Get ready and inform everyone that our father has died for the country, and Long Yu has passed away!"

In order to avoid causing chaos, only a very small number of powerful ministers knew the truth of the emperor's death in the past two days, and the news was kept strictly blocked.

Now that the Qingshuang Army has arrived, the prince does not intend to hide any longer, otherwise it would appear that he is guilty, as if there is some conspiracy.

"Yes!"

Feng Cheng lowered his head deeply, and his tone finally fluctuated.

After Feng Cheng left, the prince did not continue to deal with memorials, but stood up and looked around the imperial study.

It was not until this moment that he finally took the time to take a good look at the study.

This is the emperor's private space.

Now it belongs to him.

After walking around the study, the prince came to a treasure chest and looked carefully at the collections placed on it.

There are rare books, calligraphy and paintings, as well as antiques and collectibles.

He touched each item one by one with his hands, and his expression changed from joy to calm, and finally to sadness.

When he touched a small jade box, he suddenly felt something in his heart.

This jade box was actually locked by the dragon energy of the emperor!
"What treasure did the emperor hide?"

The prince suddenly became curious.

Logically speaking, who would dare to steal things from the imperial study?
There is no need to lock it in this way, and use up a wisp of precious emperor's dragon energy.

The prince's mind moved, and a wisp of purple-gold aura flew out from the imperial seal on the desk and merged into the small jade box.

Soon, the 'lock' was opened.

The prince opened the jade box, and found no precious treasure inside, just a folded piece of ordinary letter paper.

He carefully picked up the piece of letter and opened it.

The first sentence on the letterhead reads 'Written personally by Crown Prince Qin Ziheng'.

"It's my father's handwriting!"

The prince immediately perked up.

However, the words on the letter looked weak and feeble, and should have been written by the other party after he became seriously ill.

After reading only the first paragraph, the prince burst into tears and his hands trembled slightly:
"I have been entrusted with the mandate of heaven for more than 40 years. Now my life span is coming to an end and I am about to pass away. Thinking that the foundation of our ancestors is entrusted to you, I am here to warn you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you will think carefully and act with sincerity, and do not let me down.

Since I ascended the throne, I have been vigilant and vigilant. I have suppressed the powerful families, reduced the power of the rich and powerful, and centralized power in the central government. I have reformed the military system, promoted military training, and implemented the Mingxin Reform.

Build the Lanxun Pavilion to gather the power of the martial arts world.

Conquer the northern barbarians and expand the territory!
Although he had the ambition to revive the country and the desire to march to the west.

However, there was an invasion from the west first, and the troops were at the gates of the city.

There was also Qingxu's rebellion. When the smoke of war broke out in Ming Province, the sound of the people crying blood is still ringing in our ears!

If there is another disaster caused by the New Tianhui, the killing of Qiming will cause the country to be in turmoil again.

Now there is a military rebellion in the south, the country is in turmoil and its national strength is constantly being depleted.

With such great merits and demerits offsetting each other, how dare I usurp the temple title?
The Central Cabinet is ordered to propose the title of "Renzong", which means to govern the country with benevolence and be lenient to his subjects."

The prince's hands were shaking and tears were streaming down his face.

In the first paragraph of the letter, the emperor talked about his posthumous reputation.

After the emperor's death, the most important thing is not his posthumous title, because the posthumous titles given to emperors are whatever sounds good and have basically no reference value.

The true measure of an emperor's achievements is his temple name.

This was decided jointly by descendants and court ministers to serve as the final conclusion.

When the temple name system was first established, only monarchs who had made great contributions to the country and were worthy of eternal worship by future generations could have a temple name, and there were only four types of temple names: "Tai", "Gao", "Zhong" and "Shi".

The founder of a business is called "Tai", the one with great achievements is called "Gao", the one who revives the country is called "Zhong", and the one who worships from generation to generation is called "Shi".

Then, according to the standard of "the ancestor has merits and the ancestor has virtues", the title of "ancestor" or "ancestor" is added.

Those who have made great contributions to the development of a country can be called "ancestors", otherwise they can only be called "clan leaders".

The requirements for temple names were too high at the beginning, but as more and more emperors, both big and small, appeared, the requirements for temple names were lowered accordingly.

Thus, there were secondary temple names such as Xiaozong, Xianzong, Suzong, Xuanzong, etc. The Dalan Dynasty had a foundation of more than 500 years and was the first empire in history to unify the Central Plains, so the standards for temple names were naturally extremely high.

Except for the fact that the founding emperor was called 'Taizu', there is no dispute about it.

Among so many emperors in later generations, none was worthy of the four first-level temple names: "Tai", "Gao", "Zhong" and "Shi".

By the time of Hong Guang, everyone had witnessed the changes that the Mingxin Reforms had brought to the Da Lan Dynasty, and he already had the aura of a ruler who would revive the country.

Later, he conquered the Northern Barbarians and turned the seventeen tribes into fourteen tribes. He went deep into the wilderness, occupied a piece of territory, and expanded the territory for the Great Blue Dynasty!
It can be said that whether in terms of civil administration or military achievements, Emperor Hongguang was the most outstanding emperor of the Da Lan Dynasty after Emperor Taizu!
But during his 49 years in power, too many unexpected changes occurred in the Great Lan Dynasty.

In his words, it can only be "merits and demerits offset each other".

The reason why the prince felt sad was that out of filial piety, he would definitely try his best to get a better temple name for his father.

If we only look at the achievements made by Emperor Hongguang, even if he could not become "Taizong", he could at least compete for the temple name of "Gaozong"!

However, the country suffered from successive turmoil, internal unrest, and loss of national strength.

These are indisputable facts.

If the crown prince insists on getting a first-class temple name for his father, will the court officials agree? Will he be able to convince the people?

But if they do not fight, the emperor and the prince's personal image and future reputation will be affected.

The prince had just ascended the throne, and Emperor Hongguang did not want him to argue with his ministers over this matter, which would leave hidden dangers, so he took the initiative to leave a letter and mentioned his temple name.

With this letter, the prince can give an explanation to his ministers, the people of the world, and future generations.

After calming down, the prince continued to read the letter:

"You have been smart since childhood, but you are too cautious and not bold enough. Although you can respect others, you still lack tolerance.

After I leave, Ye Ze'an will guard the interior, and Wen Renzheng will guard the exterior. You must treat these two people with reason and use them in a just manner.

Prince Cheng is guarding the northern border. While I am alive, he should have no second thoughts. After I am gone, you should not press him too hard, but you must be on guard.

Jing'an Hou Li Fei, I once asked the national teacher to tell his fortune, and the hexagram was -

Safety and danger change, and fortune and misfortune are interdependent.

This boy has a kind nature and is a man of temperament. You should control him with your emotions, beware of his temptations, and be suspicious of him at all times.

When I was alive, he was a blessing to my country.

After I leave, you must not force him to become a disaster for Da Lan!"

The prince held the letter and let out a long breath.

In the second paragraph of the letter, the emperor explained how to employ people, and only mentioned four people:
Ye Ze'an, Wenren Zheng, King Cheng Qin Shixian, and finally Li Fei.

Needless to say, the first two people are the right-hand men left by the emperor to the prince. Without these two people, it would be difficult for him to sit firmly on the throne!

As for Prince Cheng Qin Shixian, now that the eldest prince and Prince Li have rebelled and the third prince is dead, he is the only hidden danger to the royal family.

The other party has reached the peak of the Li Dao realm and there is a certain possibility that he will break through and become a Martial Saint!
He is a prince, commands a large army, and guards the northern border, but the emperor is far away.

When Emperor Hongguang was in power, he was able to suppress Prince Cheng, making him unwilling and afraid to have any bad thoughts.

But after the prince ascends the throne, it’s hard to say.

As for how to solve this hidden danger, the emperor had actually already laid out the chess game for the prince and made his moves:

Li Fei's barbarian-killing army is in the northern border!

Using Li Fei to check and balance King Cheng is undoubtedly the best choice.

So the emperor finally emphasized Li Fei.

Even the words used to remind the prince were very harsh!
After reading these words, the prince immediately remembered the emperor’s last edict two days ago.

The opponent used the country's destiny to gather supernatural powers for Li Fei, allowing Li Fei to complete the final winning blow.

At the same time, it is also for the prince, the last son for the Da Lan Dynasty!
When the magical power of [Jing'an] was created, the prince knew its effectiveness and naturally understood the emperor's good intentions.

He was overwhelmed with emotions for a moment.

There is one last paragraph in the letter in my hand:
"The grassland royal court is now hiding its ambitions. The southern border is wide open, and the desert country is ready to make a move. The western land is also eyeing it covetously.

Internal troubles have not yet been resolved, and external troubles may arise. You shoulder a heavy responsibility, so you must not be lazy, nor be afraid.

You can gather the power of the martial arts world and suppress Buddhism with Taoism.

Take it step by step, and wait until Marquis Jing'an's martial arts are fully developed. Then, he can be used as a vanguard to resist millions of soldiers!

On July 8, the 49th year of Hongguang, the last words of the Great Blue Emperor were written.

This letter ends here.

This is a last letter from a father to his son.

It is also a letter of instructions from the previous emperor to the future emperor.

The prince looked over and over again at the last sentence on the letter: 'If you rely on it as a sharp weapon, you can stop millions of soldiers.'

He had also read the contents of the note written by Li Fei.

In the imperial study, the future emperor stood for a long time holding the letter paper.

The black flying boat is flying high in the sky.

After the battle of Baifeng Plain, Li Fei was no longer responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.

So Li Fei planned to go back to Lanling City as soon as possible.

He wanted to see the emperor who gave him the seventh magical power and helped him break through for the last time.

Wen Renzheng actually had the same idea as him, but the Grand Marshal had to stay and take charge of the situation.

The most important thing is that Wenren Zheng must bring the Sky Blue Cavalry back safely.

So I can’t go back with Li Fei.

Before Li Fei left, Wenren Zheng specially handed him something, a wooden box:
"This is something His Majesty specifically asked me to do. I will pass it on to you in the future."

For some reason, after Li Fei took the wooden box, he didn't want to open it to see what was inside.

It was not until he had flown the flying boat for two days that he gradually calmed down.

He took the wooden box out of his arms and opened it carefully.

There was a note inside that looked familiar to Li Fei.

He took out the note, which was written by Li Fei himself:
"We should have lofty ambitions,

Live up to the eternal flow of rivers.

He fought in many battles over three thousand miles.

One sword can be as powerful as a million soldiers! "

This was the note he had specially left for the emperor.

The corners of Li Fei's mouth curled up slightly, and recalling the past made him feel a little better.

Then he noticed there were words on the back of the note and immediately turned it over.

There were two lines of words written on the back of the note:
“If he can one day conquer the Western Continent, he will have accomplished his ambitions and will be able to bring the land of other countries to my tomb.

Even in my grave, I will clap my hands and laugh loudly! "
