Chapter 270: Chixiao Sword, come!
One does not have to rush when entering the court, does not have to name his name when praising or bowing, and only wears a sword and shoes when entering the palace.

Establish a government, and be equal to three officials.

He controls all the troops in the world and is the Grand Marshal.

Your Excellency, General Tiance!

As the ancients said, if you don’t make a sound, you will be a surprise; if you don’t fly, you will soar into the sky. Ji Daochun thought that this was an exaggeration in history - in the palace and among the royal family, the young emperor was trained, and his every move would be watched by the royal family.

Because I was young, I had no one I could trust.

Because he was young, he was not taught the mind of an emperor or the spirit of a hero.

Governing the world is like cooking a small fish.

The same applies to governing the emperor.

Such an emperor is nominally the common ruler of the world, but in reality he is just pushed forward by the royal family. It is the royal family rather than the emperor himself that is powerful. He himself has experienced three emperors, but has never been so caught off guard!

A heroic transformation!

The dragon changes and rises up with the momentum. Ji Zichang is Li Guanyi's great momentum. But is Qin Wuhou, who rose from obscurity and roamed the south of the Yangtze River, also Ji Zichang's great momentum?

When this series of titles were announced, the three words "Qin Wu Hou" had already become a powerful trend in the world. The entire Zhongzhou court fell into a state of deathly silence. No matter whether they were dukes, nobles, or members of the royal family, they were all silent for a moment.

Their hearts seemed to be clenched.

I was oppressed by the turbulent atmosphere and found it difficult to speak.

Ji Zichang is still the emperor. He may not be able to mobilize all the troops in Zhongzhou, and he may not be able to make the aristocratic families and clans obey his orders wholeheartedly, but he is still the master of the world, and he can still give the title.

The Zhongzhou aristocratic families do not approve of it, and the royal family does not approve of it.

However, people all over the world will still recognize this title.

Do you want to stand in the way of the world's trend and the eight hundred years of fame of the Red Emperor?

Ji Daochun suddenly stepped out and said, "No, Your Majesty!"

"No!"

He is already very old. In terms of seniority, his martial arts skills are higher than Ji Yanzhong, whose internal strength has reached the master level and whose actual martial arts skills are no less than the top ten masters.

However, Ji Yanzhong, this kind-hearted elder, was only focused on practicing martial arts. As a sword protector, he protected the Chixiao Sword and prevented it from falling into the hands of these clan forces and becoming a power for them to do whatever they wanted.

With the title of Marquis, he had a very high status in the royal family.

Add the titles of Grand Tutor and Grand Preceptor.

It can be said that he is already the head of the civil officials. Even when meeting Jiang Wanxiang and Chen Dingye, they would greet him with a smile and respectfully call him "Old Grandpa". At this moment, the first person in the contemporary clan walked out, knelt down with the help of the dragon head cane, and said:
"No, absolutely not."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has already violated a taboo by conferring the title Qin Wu Hou on him. He was born as a commoner, so even if he has military merits, how could he be promoted to the rank of marquis in one go?"

"Many generals have fought for their country, but they don't have this title."

"But you are His Majesty, the Emperor. I cannot say much. But, but such an honor cannot be given to him!"

What the royal family is obsessed with is not the so-called General of Tiance. Tiance is just a star in the sky, and the title of a general is nothing.

It is not the honor of entering the palace with swords and shoes as before.

They felt that they could easily possess such prestige.

It’s the treatment in the middle, [Kaifu Yitong Sansi].

Or it can be said to be the two words "Kai Fu".

Yitong Sansi means that Li Guanyi's status and treatment are directly comparable to those of the Sansi.

As for establishing a government, Li Guanyi himself has the qualifications to set up a government office and appoint any staff he wants. Under the government, there are military assistants, chief historians, chancellors, chief clerks, and deputy generals, all with their own ranks, just like in the court. Moreover, this government exists around Li Guanyi.

Like the eighteen prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, Yan Daiqing was the prefectural governor.

But if Li Guanyi lost control of this area, the so-called provincial capital would disappear. However, after Li Guanyi had the qualifications to establish a provincial capital, he could directly select talents as his staff, military officers, and chief historians, and these people were only responsible to him.

Like a small court.

This time, Ji Zichang directly raised Li Guanyi's authority to the highest level.

For the royal family who control the world.

This kind of treatment and changes in the mechanism are far more terrifying than wearing swords and shoes into the palace or not bowing during court proceedings. It represents their absolute loss of control.

"Your Majesty, please think twice, Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The old man from the royal family kowtowed on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and was extremely sincere.

These tears are so sincere and sad.

Because his own interests suffered great damage.

Then the civil and military officials bowed down one by one.

When they bowed, the sleeves of their wide court robes fluttered. Li Guanyi stood there, looking at Ji Zichang who was sitting on the throne, and wondered whether, from his perspective looking down, the sleeves of the nobles fluttering one after another would be like waves rolling towards him?
Ji Daochun thought that Ji Zichang would give in.

But this time the king just lowered his eyes and said calmly:

"Oh? If you have any reason, please tell me."

! ! ! !
Ji Daochun's heart sank slightly. He raised his eyes and looked up from the Kirin-patterned court robe hanging beside him. Qin Wuhou's eyes were lowered, calm and indifferent. At that moment, Ji Daochun felt as if he was stabbed by something sharp hidden in his eyes.

Is it the sharpness of youth, or the indifference of heroes.

Or maybe, both.

The most boring and intense thing in the court was about to begin.

controversy.

………………

In Zhongzhou's first capital, the sunshine was warm and gentle, and the hottest period of midsummer had faded. When the wind blew, there was a refreshing feeling. Jiang Wanxiang looked at the sky quietly, leisurely and calm.

"It should be very lively in the court right now."

Jiang Wanxiang looked at the place in a carefree manner and drank a sip of wine. He lowered his eyes and looked into the distance, reading a book under the shade of a tree. Jiang Su stood beside him and said, "Your Majesty is not worried at all."

Jiang Wanxiang said calmly: "What are you worried about?"

"It couldn't be any worse."

"Zhongzhou is a muddy place. Anyone who still has a heroic spirit in their heart will never come here. The Red Emperor and his brothers created a legend that no one can reach. But this legend..."

"In the past eight hundred years, it has already rotted away."

"I hope they'll let Li Guanyi stay."

Jiang Su was surprised: "You wouldn't be the type to be happy about this."

Jiang Wanxiang squinted his eyes, laughed, and said, "In that case, I can naturally rescue this guy and give him a princess. He is very grateful!"

"The princes and nobles of Zhongzhou, I hope they will give me this opportunity."

Jiang Su smiled and said, "You don't want to show him favor, because even if the people in Zhongzhou want to keep him, he should be able to get out."

"Let me take a guess."

"What you want to see is probably Li Guanyi's face showing a frustrated expression as he has to thank you for saving him."

Jiang Wanxiang laughed triumphantly and said, "Hahaha, you are right. There are many heroes in the world, but among all these heroes, the only one who understands my heart is the Grand Master!"

"So, did the Grand Master accomplish what he said before?"

Jiang Su's smile faded, and he said, "I have already transmitted my aura to the whale fisherman."

Jiang Wanxiang asked: "When will we meet?"

Jiang Su replied, "The whale fisherman has an arrogant temperament, so you need to be polite to him. I have already sent a message to invite him through my breath. After talking to your majesty today, I will go to meet this youngest legend of martial arts."

Jiang Wanxiang nodded, raised his head, and stared at the distant Zhongzhou Palace with eyes as fierce as a tiger and a blue dragon, and said, "Tell me, will something surprising happen today?"

Jiang Su said: "When does this happen in the world?"

Jiang Wanxiang smiled with emotion and said, "Yes."

He picked up a fallen leaf, blew on it, and let it fly.

The fallen leaves fell gracefully in the wind.

The wind was blowing hard.

Ripples appeared in the pond. When the ripples subsided, a handsome but cold man was reflected in the water. Chen Dingye was sitting on a rock, fishing calmly. His eyes were calm as he watched the ripples on the water.

"Li Guanyi, have you arrived at the palace yet?"

The line on the fishing rod in Chen Dingye's hand dropped down, and the close ministers around him, including the eunuch in charge of ceremonies, lowered their heads quietly, some of them did not dare to look at the king. For some reason, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies felt in a trance that His Majesty was less and less like himself five years ago.

But I look more and more like myself ten years ago.

The water surface was rippling; Chen Dingye had caught a fish. The eunuch in charge of ceremonies hurried forward with a bamboo basket to collect the fish, but Chen Dingye simply took the fish off his hands and threw it into the water at random:
"It's just a fish kept in a pond. It doesn't even have the qualifications to be caught, let alone leap over the Dragon Gate. The Emperor of Zhongzhou is just such a fish. Even if he had the potential to become a dragon, he would have been strangled long ago."

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies didn't dare to speak.

Chen Dingye put down his fishing rod. The eunuch in charge of ceremonies handed him silk. Chen Dingye wiped his hands clean and said calmly, "Since this is the case, I should make my decision. Give me the things."

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies delivered the imperial edict.

It was the imperial edict of the State of Chen. Chen Dingye stared at the words calmly. The whole world was in turmoil. If it came to his own choice, he would continue to weigh the noble families in the Jiangzhou city area at this time, but it was not the case at this moment.

Chen Dingye remained silent for a long time and just wrote an imperial edict.

"Decree Chen Tianyi to be the crown prince, and select famous officials and generals to teach him."

"Build the East Palace."

"One day, he will inherit the throne."

The eunuch's face changed a lot. He held the imperial edict in his hands, his body trembling slightly. Chen Tianyi was the son of Chen Dingye and Queen Xue. This imperial edict would be made public to the State of Chen.

Chen Tianyi will become the crown prince of the State of Chen known to all the world.

Chen Dingye said calmly:

"Tell the Xue family that I will only have one son, Chen Tianyi." "The future of Chen State belongs to him."

"This time, I'm not kidding."

He was talking about the Xue family, not Xue Daoyong.

The family is so huge that after knowing the news, the family members will become a check and balance to the brave tiger. This is exactly Xue Daoyong's weakness. His heroism, bravery and courage are ultimately for the continuation of the family.

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies felt his forehead throbbing. He looked at the king in front of him. Chen Dingye's temples had white hair at some point. The eunuch suddenly realized something and his face changed drastically. He said, "You, you practiced...!"

Chen Dingye said: "Yes, the magical power of our ancestors."

"If life span is fire, I am only forty now, can I live another twenty years?"

The eunuch suddenly knelt on the ground, his face full of sorrow: "You, Your Majesty..."

Chen Dingye didn't look back.

It is difficult to practice Chen Baxian's real unique skills without a sufficient foundation. Even Chen Baxian five hundred years ago did not live as long as Murong Longtu. Chen Dingye said:

"I don't care about the future. My era is just here."

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies held the imperial edict and the letter in his hands, and suddenly whispered:
"Do you regret it?"

When he said this, he realized that the person in front of him was not the little prince who was known for his "womanly kindness" and knelt in the rain for a little eunuch. A huge fear suddenly emerged in his heart.

Chen Dingye suddenly laughed. He sat there with his back to the eunuch in charge of ceremonies.

"Are you referring to the matter concerning Li Wanli, Tantai Xianming, and Yue Pengwu?"

Chen Dingye replied: "Those who repent are gentlemen and saints, but kings..." He raised his head, as if he saw the past, saw the Chen Kingdom at that time, Chen Fubi, Li Wanli, Tan Tai Xianming, Yue Pengwu, Xiao Wuliang, and himself.

Chen Dingye just quietly watched the illusion, without a ripple in his eyes, no fear, no nostalgia, and finally no more escape and regret, and said:

"Only the king will not regret. All the past events were caused by my own actions. Even if there is a cliff thousands of feet high ahead, I will jump on my horse. Even if I am smashed to pieces, I will die on the path I have chosen."

"Immortality... heh..."

His eyes dropped, just like the day when he killed with his sword the sorcerer who had bewitched him into using young boys and girls to make the elixir of immortality, he killed his desire for longevity, and his life span was thrown into the residual warmth of the remaining fire in his heart, burning fiercely.

He got rid of the influence of Tan Tai Xian Ming and faced the past of killing Li Wan Li.

So he picked up his sword again and headed out into the world.

Chen Dingye put down his fishing rod, stood up and walked past the eunuch in charge of ceremonies. When he spoke slowly, he suddenly stretched out his hand and struck the eunuch on the neck, saying, "This will serve as a punishment for your outrageous words just now."

"Your head will remain on your body for now."

The eunuch in charge of ceremonies felt a chill down his spine. Chen Dingye, with gray hair on his temples, paced back and forth:

"After I die, Tianyi will be the king. You tell him that his father..."

"Neither a good person nor a bad person."

"Good and evil are too narrow for me."

"He is just a king in this troubled world."

.....................

In the academy, Wen Lingjun looked at the sky, feeling a little melancholy. Before, Fang Zi Qiao, a disciple of Master Wang Tong, came here, hoping that Wen Lingjun could make a plan for Fang Zi Qiao's junior fellow apprentice, Li Guanyi.

Because of their previous friendship, Wen Lingjun wrote a letter to Li Guanyi, which led to the steps of expelling the Ying State and the Chen State, occupying the upper hand, and gaining the title of Qin Wu Hou, as well as the current situation in that area.

It can be said that Pojun planned the strategic direction for Li Guanyi to lead his troops.

Wen Lingjun's strategy allowed the Qilin Army to gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan and the world.

However, even Wen Lingjun had not expected that Qin Wuhou's spirit would be so fierce and powerful, like a trapped dragon flying into the sky, which was unstoppable. At this moment, he even regretted his plan.

If this person has a rebellious heart...

Just when Wen Lingjun was lost in thought, there were suddenly sounds of footsteps, and then it was Feng Xiao, who was always drunk, who came. However, Feng Xiao seemed not to have drunk any alcohol today. He just ran in wildly, grabbed Wen Lingjun and ran out.

Wen Lingjun asked, "What's wrong? Feng Xiao?"

"What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"

Feng Xiao replied hastily: "Ah, it's too late to talk to you slowly, let's go, let's go!"

"I heard that Li Guanyi, the Marquis of Qin, came to the palace with a sword and shoes on, and did not bow when entering the court!"

Wen Lingjun's face changed drastically.

Wearing sword and shoes to the palace, but not bowing? !

The next moment, this scholar, who was as gentle as jade but actually had the internal strength of the second level peak and the physique of a Confucian, reached out and grabbed Feng Xiao with one hand. He ran out a few steps and jumped directly onto a carriage. He held Feng Xiao with one hand and grabbed the reins with the other.

He took control of the carriage drawn by four dragon horses and rushed towards the Zhongzhou Palace.

Wen Lingjun's heart was beating wildly and his heart was filled with regret.

With such behavior of a powerful minister, could it be that he had really done something wrong, and a very big mistake, to raise such a powerful minister?
Under such circumstances, he hurried to the imperial court. At the same time, many students also went there. Some of these students were worried about the orthodoxy of the Red Emperor like Wen Lingjun, and some were there out of curiosity. Students of the academy were not allowed to enter the court and enter the imperial road.

But they could still wait outside. When they arrived, there were already many people gathered outside the imperial gate. There were many Confucian students, famous scholars, and many diplomats. The Mohists did not seem to have any interest in this.

Wen Lingjun greeted a few students he was familiar with, found a place, and waited anxiously. Soon, the court session ended, and many students used their own methods, either riding on carriages or relying on their martial arts skills, to see a group of high-ranking officials walking out of the palace.

Someone shouted, "It's the nobles in the court."

The people who walked out were clearly divided.

There were a large group of dignitaries, and the other one was a young man.

He had an upright back, an extraordinary bearing, a majestic court robe, and held a sword in one hand.

Wen Lingjun said: "Qin Wuhou, Li Guanyi..."

Li Guanyi felt extremely bored. Just now, these old guys had spent most of the hour in the court arguing about something that was against etiquette and so on. It ended with Ji Zichang leaving in anger. In the end, Li Guanyi still retained the qualifications to establish his own government.

The reputation is secondary, this is about building your own team all over the world.

Moreover, all the famous people in the world know that they can come here.

It is in line with the righteousness and no one can say anything.

Well, Pojun is the military officer, Wenhe is the chief secretary, Daiqing is the chancellor, Yuanzhi...

Li Guanyi was thinking about the configuration of the Tiance Mansion.

He paced on the imperial road and felt much happier. With this title, he would have a legitimate reason to go to the Western Regions or anywhere else. Even when he went to the Western Regions to meet Li Zhaowen, Li Zhaowen's father, the Duke, could not exclude Li Guanyi.

Just having this title, the qualifications to establish a government office, etc., is meaningless.

If you have soldiers, talents and territory, you can still have this title.

That's different.

Li Guanyi thought about what he was going to do next. He found that the imperial road didn't seem to be very long. But when he walked here, he suddenly heard a shout: "A man who disturbs the world! Traitor!"

It seemed as if something hit Li Guanyi's back, making a loud crisp sound. Li Guanyi paused, and the atmosphere around him froze. Even the students who were watching outside the imperial gate subconsciously held their breath.

The one who hit Li Guanyi with a dragon-headed stick was an old man with white hair and beard.

It was Ji Daochun, the first clan elder to oppose the imperial edict. At this moment, Ji Daochun stared at Li Guanyi. Even if Li Guanyi, the unicorn, turned around, he still had a cold and powerful voice and was not at all weak. He said, "Traitor!"

"You were originally a minister of the State of Chen. The Emperor of Chen took pity on your background and gave you a title and made you a member of the Jinwu Guard. But you turned out to rebel against your country. Ahem, you rebelled and left the country. This was just self-protection. You accepted the big beating and left. This was also considered loyalty and filial piety."

"But you, first you broke through Zhenbei Pass, and then you occupied the Eighteen Prefectures of Jiangnan. That is, ahem, that is your homeland of the Chen State. How could you do such a thing? You are disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, and now you are a powerful official!"

"I absolutely don't recognize you, old man!"

The civil officials around him all spoke frankly. The students over there were dumbfounded and whispered to each other. Ji Daochun coughed for a while and said softly, "Marquis Qin Wu, although the emperor has great ambitions, he has forgotten that the eyes and ears of the people in the world cannot be changed by just one imperial edict from him."

"The world belongs to my Ji family."

"It's not the emperor's world."

"Although you have the emperor's help today, you will lose your reputation as a student. In the discussion in half a month, I want to see what you can do. What if you can open a government office?"

"I want you to enter the treasure house alone and return with your reputation ruined."

"No student in the world should enter your Tiance Mansion."

"Unless you are willing to marry into my family, I am willing to sacrifice my dignity to protect you."

Qin Wuhou held his sword and took a step forward.

Ji Daochun was frightened.

He suddenly remembered the bravery of Qin Wuhou. His body tensed up, and he picked up the dragon head stick in his hand. He said righteously: "I have assisted three generations of emperors and was highly valued. I fought bravely for my family and country. What do you think of me, a traitor?!"

"If you have the guts, come and kill me!!!"

"Powerful official?"

Li Guanyi looked at him.

Looking at the civil and military officials behind him, he seemed to see the layers of interest connections behind them.

Li Guanyi looked at Ji Daochun in front of him, thought of Ji Zichang who sat in a high position but seemed lonely and desolate, and thought of the student who acted arrogant and unruly after getting drunk last night, and suddenly sighed, so this is the kind of person you have been facing all these years?

You are willing to do a great thing for Li Guanyi and are willing to go against the clan and the aristocratic family for this. However, Li Guanyi is not the kind of person who just accepts the kindness of others and watches others bear the pressure.

Li Guanyi's hand was already on the sword. The situation was tense. Ji Daochun's body was tense. The other gentlemen also had their own reactions. The students were also tense in their minds under such a situation.

Ji Daochun asked, "Marquis Qin Wu, do you understand the overall situation?"

"For your own good, don't be reckless!"

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes and then let go of his hand.

The sword that came with the court robe fell to the ground.

There was a sound.

In the dead silent atmosphere, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense spirits relaxed. Qin Wuhou looked at the white-haired old man, and then looked at the group of dignitaries in red and purple robes, and smiled at this corrupt and crowded world.

He turned his back to the palace and stretched out his hand, saying loudly:
"Red Sky Sword!"
