I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Yang Zhen smiled and said, "You are the son of the Duke of Zhenxi, why do you need to establish achievements?"

Zhang Lun said, "I have already told my father that I do not want the title of Duke of Zhenxi."

"As long as a man is in this world, why should he worry about not being successful?"

"I want to follow General Yang and be crowned a marquis!"

Yang Zhen pulled Zhang Lun and said, "Okay, since you are following me, I will definitely make your wish come true!"

"Come here, serve the wine!"

There was a grand banquet in Lake City all day, and the aroma of wine filled the air!

Because of the previous defeat, the Yue people lost the ability to control the Silk Road, and the number of merchants traveling to and from Lake City gradually increased.

The Bodan people were good at doing business. Without the obstruction of the Yue people, many Bodan merchants rode camels and carried goods to Lake City.

The spices, carpets, and nuts of Bodrum are all excellent commodities.

Some bold merchants from the Great Zhou also crossed the desert and came to Lake City.

The bandits from Checheng and Gui countries did not dare to rob the merchants of the Great Zhou.

The Silk Road is showing signs of revival.

And Yang Zhen, the Protector General of Western Frontier, never prohibited merchants from other countries from coming to Hucheng.

Soon, merchants from the Turtle Kingdom and the Checheng Kingdom discovered that making money from trade was really lucrative!

The price of a Bodan carpet can double as long as it is sent to Mobei!

The wine from Xinjiang can be doubled in value if sent to Luzhou!

Goods such as nuts and dried fruits have also become very popular among merchants.

These things are not heavy and were originally carried around.

However, merchants from the Great Zhou sent dried fruits and melon seeds to Kyoto.

Soon, Kyoto became popular.

Kyoto has a huge population and its current spending power is terrifying.

It has become a trend for wealthy families to buy melon seeds and raisins as snacks.

The people of Checheng and Guiguo both put aside their hostility towards the Great Zhou.

How great it is to make money!

Even the Checheng people began to take the initiative to eliminate the bandits along the way.

But at this time, the Great Zhou did not notice the changes in the Western Xinjiang.

The most important thing at this time was the Salt and Iron Conference that was about to be held.

The entire Great Zhou began to operate.

All the states and counties began to nominate talented people to go to Kyoto to attend the Salt and Iron Conference.

Although the topic of the meeting was to discuss the issues of official salt and official iron, everyone understood that this was a state meeting.

At the Salt and Iron Conference of the Han Dynasty, less than a quarter of the discussions were on salt and iron.

The Salt and Iron Conference was actually a meeting to discuss state affairs.

The virtuous and wise people selected locally were all representatives of local wealthy families.

The patriarchs of local noble families, academic leaders, and grassroots officials from all over the country.

These people representing local interests all began to gather towards Kyoto.

The provincial governors from all over the country also received imperial edicts and returned to Kyoto to attend the Salt and Iron Conference.

Mist Hidden Mountain.

The Grand Master of the Great Zhou, Master Jing Biquan, received an imperial edict from the court.

After sending off the eunuch who announced the decree, Master Biquan said:

"I'm going to Kyoto!"

The disciples were surprised and asked, "Master, you are actually going to go in person. Can't you just send a disciple to go?"

"The imperial decree did not say that Master had to go in person, did he?"

Master Biquan said: "This meeting is of great importance, so of course I have to go in person!"

Many disciples did not understand Master Biquan’s meaning.

Seeing that his disciple was so stupid, Master Biquan said:

"This Salt and Iron Conference convened all the clan leaders in the world. In addition to the various Confucian schools, Buddhism and Taoism also sent representatives."

"This means that the court is determined to re-arrange the order of the three religions."

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are the most influential religions in the Great Zhou Dynasty today.

The court of this dynasty respects Taoism.

However, Buddhism is still popular among the people.

It is obvious that religious issues will also be discussed at this Salt and Iron Conference.

Master Biquan and his disciples headed for Kyoto.

The abbots of Shaolin Temple and Foguang Temple also led their disciples to Kyoto.

In a college in Yuhang, a white-haired old man stood in the yard.

This great Neo-Confucian scholar was Xia Dongqing, who had submitted many articles criticizing Lu Weibin.

Xia Dongqing was the leader of the Southeast School of Neo-Confucianism. He stood in the courtyard and said to his disciples:

"Enter Kyoto!"

Not just Buddhism and Taoism.

The court invited leaders of almost all schools.

These days, with the eloquence of Lu Weibin, the School of Mind has overwhelmed the School of Principle in the New Dibao.

Many young scholars in Kyoto began to study the philosophy of mind.

Xialin Academy is the largest private academy in Yuhang. Xia Dongqing is the leader of the Donglin School and the person who most protested against the School of Mind.

These great scholars all understood that this Salt and Iron Conference was definitely not just about discussing the sale of salt and iron.

This is also a fierce battle among various schools of thought!

This result may affect the rise and fall of the entire school!

Many great scholars who lived in seclusion led their disciples to Kyoto!

In addition to the Confucian scholars, all the martial arts sects also gathered in Kyoto.

But these martial artists are not here to cause trouble.

Now that the imperial court has established the Six Gates, it has provided a way of survival for many martial artists.

However, the imperial court also increased its control over the martial arts world.

However, the court arrested those scum who committed crimes.

The impact on the righteous martial arts world is not that great.

However, the various martial arts sects also wanted to understand the court's attitude towards the martial arts world.

The issue of Wulin will definitely be discussed at this Salt and Iron Conference.

Therefore, each sect sent disciples to gather in Kyoto, waiting for the final answer from the court.

A conference that concerns the entire country has begun to be prepared in a grand manner.

In addition to the people of Great Zhou, all of the vassal states of Great Zhou also sent delegations of envoys.

After hearing about the Salt and Iron Conference, Jeon Min-ho of Goryeo personally led thirty of his men to Kyoto to attend the conference.

The Japanese Protector General also sent important officials to attend the meeting.

Small Luzon, Kalimantan and other countries also sent delegations.

Queen Mother Zheng of Gao Cambodia had been staying in Kyoto and attended this meeting directly.

The Mobei Kingdom and the Lanlu Kingdom also sent envoys led by their princes to Kyoto to attend the meeting.

The new marquises who were granted titles of nobility from all over the country also gathered in Kyoto.

The whole of Kyoto was like a pot of boiling water, bubbling with water.

But Li Tian didn't care about any of this.

Because the queen is about to give birth!

After ten months of pregnancy, Tang Hanxue finally gave birth.

Tang Hanxue has been nourished by Li Tian's spiritual energy for a long time, and her health is very good.

But having a child in this era is also a matter of life and death.

Li Tian paced anxiously outside the Queen's Palace.

Listening to Tang Hanxue's cries of pain.

at last.

A cry was heard.

Five midwives rushed out, kowtowed to Li Tian and said:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! It's a prince, a prince!"

Li Tian was stunned.

After coming to this world, he finally had his own bloodline here.

A wonderful feeling arises.

Then the midwife came out holding the prince.

Looking at the baby's wrinkled face, Li Tian smiled.

"deliver an imperial order!"

"The queen gave birth to a dragon! Amnesty for all!"

The news that the queen had given birth to a prince quickly spread from the palace to outside.

The outer court was even more excited!

The emperor finally has an heir!
