Chapter 86: Turmoil in the Jianghu
"No matter what Emperor Chengwu does, he will last until Prince Jing reaches adulthood."
Jin Buhuan has a certain judgment on Dayan's current situation.
If Emperor Chengwu dies, the throne cannot remain vacant, and the officials of Dayan will definitely support a new king to take the throne.
This new king could only be a descendant of Emperor Chengwu.
There are three princes under Emperor Chengwu. The eldest Prince Jing is now thirteen years old and cannot take power before he reaches the age of crown.
The remaining two princes are only five or six years old, and have no possibility of taking power.
"Emperor Chengwu will have to last for at least five years before Prince Jing can take power. Otherwise, the scene when Emperor Hongguang ascended the throne will happen again."
Chu Chen nodded and agreed with Jin Buhuai's statement.
But how long Emperor Chengwu can last is something no one can predict.
Maybe less than five years, maybe much more than five years.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing has a reputation as a virtuous man, and has been praised by several great scholars Chen, saying that he has the appearance of Emperor Zheng of the Yuan Dynasty. If the crown prince ascends the throne, he may be able to continue the reign of Emperor Chengwu."
When Jin Buhuan talked about the Prince of the East Palace, he was very complimentary.
Emperor Yuan Zheng was the fifth emperor of the Yan Dynasty. When he first came to the throne, the situation in the Yan Kingdom was even more corrupt than in the later period of Emperor Jing Zheng. The country was in turmoil everywhere and was on the verge of collapse.
After Emperor Yuan Zheng ascended the throne, he strategized to suppress the unrest in Dayan and put the country back on track.
It can be said that, except for Taizu Taizu of Dayan, Emperor Yuanzheng is the most famous person among the emperors of the Yan Kingdom.
For Prince Jing to be praised so highly by several bachelors, his ability is not bad at all.
"Most of the academicians in Wenyuan Pavilion are human beings. They know what the emperor wants to hear, so they will naturally say what they say. Emperor Jingzheng was initially blown by them to be the reincarnation of Taizu Taizu of Great Yan. What was the result?"
Chu Chen said with a smile.
The mouth of the official is a deceitful ghost.
If you really want to believe this group of people, you have to be prepared to be tricked to the point where you can't find your answer.
There was an emperor in Dayan who believed in the words of Yan officials and governed indiscriminately, making the people of Dayan miserable. This also caused the subsequent emperors of Dayan to be unwilling to trust these great scholars from Wenyuan Pavilion.
As a result, Wenyuan Pavilion no longer had the splendor of its former heyday, and was not taken seriously in the Great Yan Dynasty.
Now that he has jumped out again, he is probably seeking attention in an attempt to regain his position in the court.
"As soon as Emperor Chengwu was in bed, all kinds of monsters and monsters came out. I heard that the military leaders of the four towns in Northern Xinjiang jointly presented a memorial, claiming that they had killed the enemy and asked the court to increase the military expenditures of the armies in Northern Xinjiang."
As Jin Buhuan spoke, he talked about Northern Xinjiang again.
"Is Zhao Mingan treating the civil and military ministers in the court and the Dukes of Gonggun as fools?"
Chu Chen sneered.
The so-called merit of killing the enemy by the military leaders in Northern Xinjiang refers to the fact that every once in a while, the soldiers in Northern Xinjiang killed thousands or tens of thousands of barbarians, and the good news was sent back to the imperial capital.
At first, the people in the imperial capital praised General Zhao for his bravery and the ability of the vassal army to fight, but after there were so many such messages, they became numb.
Anyone who takes it seriously is an idiot.
Exaggerating military achievements is not uncommon in the military. For example, when Duke Weiyuan suppressed the rebels, he counted hundreds of thousands of refugees as prisoners of the rebels.
But Zhao Mingan went too far, completely pressing the brains of everyone in Dayan Chaotang to the ground and rubbing them.
The barbarians are composed of many tribes, the total population is not too large, and the barbarian army is even smaller.
If we really go by the news coming back from Northern Xinjiang, the barbarians will probably be wiped out by the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang.
The barbarians have always been a serious problem for Dayan. If they could be killed so easily, Emperor Chengwu would be so happy that he would jump up from his bed.
"Zhao Mingan has grown up, and Northern Xinjiang is so high that the emperor is far away. Before Emperor Chengwu's injury recurred, he couldn't even control Northern Xinjiang, let alone now."
Jin Buhuan said.
The problem in northern Xinjiang may have to wait for the next emperor to solve it.
…
In the twenty-sixth year of Chengwu, summer.
There is an undercurrent surging in the Great Yan Chao Hall, and the same turmoil is rising in the rivers and lakes.
News about a "Sucking Gong Dafa" has been widely circulated among martial arts people.
It is said that this is a magic power.
Pursue taking away what others have and make up for one's own deficiencies.
Once this technique is practiced, it can absorb the Qi and blood of others and integrate it into one's own body to speed up one's own cultivation.
The origin of the power-absorbing method has long been unknown, but five hundred years ago, there was an evil warrior named Old Man Baimei on the Dayan River and Lake who practiced this method.
Relying on this technique, the old man with white eyebrows traveled across the Great Yan River and Lake, absorbed the inner energy and blood of countless martial arts masters, and achieved a breakthrough in marrow refining. He was only one step away from the innate realm.
Later, because he massacred too many people in the martial arts world, various factions in the world joined forces to pursue him, and he eventually fell under the siege of many strong men.
The Dharma of absorbing energy practiced by the old man with white eyebrows has disappeared and no one can find it.
Some people say that the eminent monk of Xichan Temple destroyed the practice of absorbing energy with his own hands at that time. Others say that the old man with white eyebrows had a premonition of his own death and hid the practice in advance.
Regardless of the reason, the practice of absorbing energy has disappeared since then.
but.
Half a year ago, the practice of absorbing gong reappeared in the world.
Luo Tiezhu, a young gangster from Shengshan City in northern Xinjiang, found this technique from nowhere.
Luo Tiezhu was originally a low-level gangster in a small gang in Fangshan City. After receiving the power-absorbing method, he began to make a fortune. Not only did he become the gang leader in a short period of time, but he also led the gang to defeat other gangs in Fangshan City and became the number one gang in Fangshan City.
Up to this point, although Luo Tiezhu showed something unusual, he did not attract too many people's attention.
But as time went by, a strange thing happened in the city of Qianshan and many nearby cities.
Martial arts masters died one after another, and each of them died in a very similar way, as if they were possessed by a demon and died of qi and blood deficiency.
If it was one or two martial arts masters, it would be fine, but a large number of martial arts masters died one after another, which suddenly attracted the attention of the Jinyiwei strongmen.
Jinyiwei sent people to investigate the cause of death of these masters and found Luo Tiezhu.
After Luo Tiezhu was exposed, he killed dozens of Jinyiwei strongmen and escaped.
"Can you absorb other people's internal qi and qi and blood?"
Chu Chen flipped through the information in his hand and was very interested in this absorbing power method.
This method is somewhat similar to the Soul-stealing Body-building Sutra, which made him want to take it for a look.
After thinking about it, he left a comment on the information that he would try his best to collect the absorbing power method.
A month later.
This method was delivered to Chu Chen.
In other words, this method is no longer a secret in the Great Yan Jianghu.
Luo Tiezhu was exhausted by the Jinyiwei strongmen and many warriors who claimed to be fighting against demons and defending the way. In desperation, he took the opportunity to cut off the firewood.
He spread the power-absorbing method and left several copies of the method in various places in the northern border, hoping to use it to confuse the situation and escape.
"Good idea."
Chu Chen commented.
If he were in Luo Tiezhu's position, the best way would be to do this.
Of course.
If he were Luo Tiezhu, he would not let himself fall into such a dangerous situation.
The Soul-stealing Body-building Sutra can also absorb the internal energy and blood of others, but he has never used this method to directly absorb the internal energy and blood of warriors.
It may be convenient to do so, but the hidden dangers are too great and it is not advisable.
