Chapter 48: Emperor Collapse
The imperial capital was prosperous, but with the transfer of batches of imperial guards and new imperial guards arrived. Under the seemingly prosperous surface, those who are interested could clearly notice that the atmosphere became a little weird. These new imperial guards were not as they were before, but they were more like they were divided into four parts, clearly divided. Of course, ordinary people could not see any clues, but the friction within the imperial guards has increased significantly recently.
Ziwei Island, Zhao Yin's bedroom, Zhao Yin's movements, who were working hard on the queen, suddenly stopped, his face turned pale, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, splashing the queen's face.
"Your Majesty!?" The queen didn't care about continuing to enjoy it, so she quickly reached out to support Zhao Yin and looked at Zhao Yin with a worried look on her face.
"No obstacle!" Zhao Yin's pale face showed a look of ecstasy, and he hugged the queen and said, "My beloved concubine, I have broken through, the first level of the Tribulation Realm, I have broken through!"
The queen looked at Zhao Yin's ecstatic expression, but her eyebrows were slightly frowned, a little worried. She was also a monk and a cultivator in the Kongming realm. Generally, she broke through the realm and not only had her strength greatly increased, but her body would also be nourished and tempered. She had never heard of anyone who broke through like this. Although her cultivation level had indeed improved, somehow, the queen felt that Zhao Yin felt a sense of weakness.
"Your Majesty..." After hesitating, the queen looked at Zhao Yin and frowned: "The strange book presented by the King of Zhenhai is quite strange. Your Majesty might as well practice it again."
The technique of combining yin and yang is not uncommon. Before the Jin Dynasty, there were already many such things, and there were also many collections of books in the royal family.
But everything must be done with a certain degree. Taoist yin and yang double cultivation method is also an auxiliary method. There are few practices that rely on this to practice. The queen can clearly feel that although her cultivation has improved rapidly in recent times, her body has become much weaker. This strange book has a very evil nature no matter how you look at it, but she can't tell the reason why it is completely contrary to common sense.
This is true for me just assisting in my cultivation. Zhao Yin is almost always practicing hard with the public concubines and even the palace maids. It can be imagined that Zhao Yin's condition is even more unbearable at this moment.
"Woman's opinion!" Zhao Yin turned the queen into a rough position, and continued to work hard, while snorting coldly: "This is the art of an emperor. I have the luck of a country to protect my body, and all evil will not invade. If there is really evil, how could I not know it? Let's get on!"
When the queen heard this, she sighed in her heart and could only let the other party do whatever she wanted. However, her beautiful face was filled with some undivided worries. Zhao Yin now looked a little bit obsessed no matter how she looked. However, she was weak by nature. Seeing that Zhao Yin was in a bad mood at this time, she immediately didn't dare to say anything again.
...
On Taibai Island, Jiang Cheng, who was wandering around the island with four ladies, suddenly felt a strange feeling and looked up at the direction of Ziwei Island.
"What are you looking at, husband?" Bai Zhirou looked at Jiang Cheng's gaze in confusion.
"Your Majesty has broken through!" Jiang Cheng frowned.
"What's strange about this?" Yan Ji leaned against the corridor column and teased the spirit bird on her shoulder a little lazy.
"Overyone's realm will have a great increase in qi and blood, but his qi and blood have not increased significantly." Jiang Cheng has now reached the Mahayana realm, and the Tribulation Realm has experienced it. It is a huge leap from breaking through the Kongming Realm to the Tribulation Realm. While his life span increases greatly, his life breath will also be transformed. However, although Zhao Yin's realm has been broken, his life breath has not increased much!
This is not reasonable!
"So what?" Yan Ji said in confusion.
Jiang Cheng shook his head: "I can't say it for the time being."
He knew what Zhao Yin was doing during this period. After all, the formations of the entire imperial capital were arranged by him, but he didn't look at such things, but the other party's cultivation method was definitely problematic.
...
The three major forces in the imperial capital began to fight for power and profits, especially as Zhao Yin rarely appeared, and many things were handled by the eunuch group headed by Liu Song, which also caused dissatisfaction among the ministers in the court. The eunuch group headed by Liu Song, Yanran also became the fourth largest faction in the imperial capital. After all, Liu Song often represented Zhao Yin. In this case, Liu Song took the opportunity to gather many depressed officials and arranged these officials in some important positions.
Jiang Cheng took the business route. There were not many subordinates in the court, but each one was considered an elite who could stand alone. Jiang Cheng also gave these talents enough room to display their talents. This is why Jiang Cheng had not been to court for a long time, but these elites rarely betrayed.
For ordinary talents, wealth, beauty, and status can be bought. Yuan Qiu, Zhenhai Wang and even Liu Song can give the price, but they cannot give these people a free space to play. Jiang Cheng does the most is to let them play, and help with the aftermath and guidance after the other party makes mistakes. This is the foundation for Jiang Cheng to win over these outstanding talents. For these people, realizing their own value is more fulfilling than simply wealth, beauty and status.
In this regard, it is obviously not that Yuan Qiu and Zhenhaiwang did not have enough courage to give it. The most important thing is that they cannot have the ability to suppress these talents in all fields like Jiang Cheng, so that these talents do not dare to plot against Jiang Cheng while admiring and grateful to Jiang Cheng.
Human nature is evil, and Jiang Cheng never overestimates his personal charm. Only when they are shackles in their hearts can these people show their most upright side. Otherwise, Jiang Cheng's behavior that has only been concerned about the government for decades, even for decades, will he be dissatisfied with the desires in the hearts of people.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Cheng had the least officials in the court, but he always stood firm, and the quality of talents was the highest among the four factions.
However, compared to the disputes in the court, what Jiang Cheng valued was Zhao Xian's physical condition. After breaking through the Tribulation Realm, in just three years, Zhao Xian's cultivation level actually broke through the fourth level of Tribulation. This growth rate can be described as weird. Even Jiang Cheng has systematic help, and the breakthrough is not so exaggerated. Moreover, he seems to have taken very short time, but in fact, if the time in the Spiritual Time House is not much worse than that of ordinary people, even because of the complicated learning, if the time in the Spiritual Time House is included, his growth will be much slower than that of ordinary people.
The most important thing is that the life fluctuations emitted by Zhao Xian were constantly weakened as his cultivation level improved. Now, they are even less powerful than most cultivators in the Kongming Realm.
"Taiwei!" On this day, Jiang Cheng accompanied the four beautiful wives to relax and entertain in the mansion as usual, but saw Wen Lingzhao hurriedly coming in from outside the door.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Cheng poured a cup of fairy wine for Wen Lingzhao and asked with a smile.
"The queen has nurtured the prince!" Wen Lingzhao took a deep breath and said.
Jiang Cheng's eyebrows were deeply locked when he heard this, and Bai Zhirou, Yue Shan and Yin Wei were frowning slightly.
Logically speaking, this should be a good thing, but in fact, when you reach their level of cultivation, you are very cautious about reproduction of offspring. Once you have a child, it will be the greatest loss to the origin. Zhao Xian was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and his cultivation has been continuously broken in recent years, so it is impossible to consider the issue of reproduction of offspring. Now that the queen is pregnant, it can only show one problem. Zhao Yin has insufficient control over his own Yuanyang, and this result is a bit incredible.
Not to mention the powerful person in the Tribulation Realm, even the Jindan realm cultivator or even the lower Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator can control it to ensure that his Yuanyang is not lost. At this time, Zhao Xian should have prepared for the upcoming heavenly tribulation. Unless he knew he could not get through it and made plans earlier, he would never choose to reproduce a prince at this time.
"It seems that he has not had much time!" Yan Ji did not have any sense of belonging to Da Kun, and he was not afraid of speaking. He just said lightly: "Husband, I know what the wonderful book presented by King Zhenhai is."
"The technique of heaven?" Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Ji.
"Well." Yan Ji nodded and said, "A quite evil practice is not even considered an evil practice. The evil practice technique is at least a harm to others and oneself. However, this technique seems to be a dual cultivation of Yin and Yang. In fact, it only obtains improvement in the realm by constantly overdrawing one's potential. Although the cultivation level will surge and lose its own potential in the short term, it is its own origin. The most terrifying thing is that once this technique starts to be practiced, people will become addicted, their temperament will become irritable and irritable, and their hearts of Tao will sink. Until the moment the source is exhausted, breaking through the cultivation level will increase life span, but the technique itself is exchanged for cultivation at the cost of its own origin. Even if he can eventually overcome the heavenly tribulation, the exhausted origin cannot be compensated."
"Fourth Lady..." Wen Lingzhao hesitated for a moment and said with a serious expression: "I wonder how long can it last if Your Majesty continues like this?"
"Different from person to person, your emperor's cultivation talent is good, but after all, human power is sometimes poor. When his life breath is difficult to control his cultivation level, it will be the time for him to die suddenly." Speaking of this, a gloom flashed across Yan Ji's face: "This is the thing that harmed the prince in the palace in the Great Yun Tianchao in the past. Later, it was designated as a forbidden book by the emperor, and now it appears on this Emperor Dakun..."
Jiang Cheng nodded silently. Yan Ji's meaning was already very clear. Prince Dayun's hand had already reached into the court and had a certain ability to influence the situation in the court. This also means that if there is a change in the Dakun Dynasty in the future, Jiang Cheng will face much more than what he is like now, as simple as Zhenhai King, Yuan Qiu, and Liu Song.
"So that..." Wen Lingzhao took a deep breath, bowed to Jiang Cheng and said, "Taiwei, we will prepare early!"
