Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 473 The court affairs are settled (6k4)

"Chen Sheng has great righteousness in his heart. On behalf of the Li Shu of Zhongzhou, I would like to express my gratitude here."

After hearing Chen Mu's words, Lu Zongxi bowed his hands to Chen Mu again, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

In his early years, Chen Mu served as an official in a remote corner of Hanbei. When he left, thousands of people even came to see him off. This incident has spread as Chen Mu became famous all over the world. Now Chen Mu has become the world leader. , invincible in the world, but he still did not turn a deaf ear to the common people, and never ignored all living beings, which is indeed a blessing to the common people.

"It's not about righteousness, it's just a little effort."

Chen Mu shook his head slightly.

He has never been a righteous saint, otherwise he would not have entered Zhongzhou in one day, swept across Kyoto, and settled the old grievances of the past at once. He just climbed out from the bottom, knew the sufferings of the people, and had an understanding of the present. For him, if he wants the world to be stable, it is just a piece of cake, so he naturally doesn't mind deciding the world's affairs with just one word.

Chen Mu glanced at the original picture in his hand again, then put it away, and then walked out of the palace with Lu Zongxi. As they were walking out of the palace, Lu Zongxi suddenly thought of One thing, he said from the side:

"By the way, does Chen Sheng know about Kunlun Theory?"

"What Hall Master Lu is talking about is probably the discussion between heaven and man on the top of Kunlun Mountain two years later."

Chen Mu nodded and said.

Lu Zongxi nodded and said: "Yes, when you reach the realm of Chen Shengzhi, you must know the world's martial arts. The seven realms before body tempering have been perfected, but when you reach the realm of blood exchange, there is no way to lead. Therefore, every thirty years, you must explore the world's martial arts before All the heavenly and human masters on the road will discuss the future of martial arts at the top of Kunlun Mountain. I wonder if Chen Sheng is interested."

Chen Mu had already walked outside the hall, looked up at the blue sky in the distance, and said with a smile: "Heaven and man discuss the Tao... It seems that Chen has not yet fully understood the unity of heaven and man. If he forced himself to climb the mountain, wouldn't it be terrible? People are laughing at it, if Chen can understand the realm of heaven and man in two years, he will not be absent, and he will compete with all the seniors on the martial arts of this world. "

Say it.

Chen Mu didn't stop and walked forward.

Lu Zongxi stood in front of the Martial Palace, watching Chen Mu go away, shaking his head slightly.

With Chen Mu's current military force, he is not a man of heaven, but better than a man of heaven. Who in this world dares to underestimate Chen Mu, and who dares to stop Chen Mu from climbing Kunlun Mountain to talk about Taoism? Even if there is a tacit understanding between warriors in the world for countless years, Chen Mu can completely ignore it.

But at Chen Mu's level, face is naturally more important than anything else. He obviously feels that using force to climb to the top of Kunlun Mountain and participate in the discussion between heaven and man is a bit inferior. Only by climbing to the level of heaven and man can he not fall behind. The name of the Martial Saint.

There are still two years left before Kunlun discusses Taoism.

No one doubts Chen Mu's innate understanding in today's world. He is the first person in the world. Now that he has obtained the original eight-phase diagram, it may not be impossible to comprehend the third step of the artistic conception within two years. Entering the level of gods and humans.

Today, Chen Mu is invincible in the world. He has advanced the physical training in the body tempering martial arts to an unprecedented level. If his artistic conception reaches that of heaven and man, it is unimaginable how powerful he will be.

Actually.

He was still very concerned about this Kunlun discussion.

Because this may be the last time in his life to participate in Kunlun's Taoism. Now he no longer hopes that he can break the shackles of heaven and earth and enter the realm of gods. He only hopes that he can do his best in the 'Martial Arts Code' before he dies. Adding a few strokes can guide the next two steps forward, so that we can live in this world and live in this world in vain.

…

Imperial City.

Front hall.

This is a palace located directly in front of the Jinluan Palace. It is slightly smaller than the Jinluan Palace. It is usually used as a place for court officials to prepare before going to court. However, because the Jinluan Palace was damaged in the previous battle, it could not be restored in a short time. Therefore, The important officials in the court, including Zhao Lie, the chief of the Supervision Department, all gathered in the front hall.

Although the front hall is smaller than the Jinluan Hall, it is actually still an extremely majestic and solemn palace. It can accommodate dozens or hundreds of people without feeling crowded at all, and the entire hall is still extremely spacious.

only.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the front hall was depressing, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"...You Hongye Sect are really overbearing. Not only did you seize the Guyang Mountains of my Guiyun Sect, you also tried to get your hands on Pingyun Lake. Our Guiyun Sect has been in a recession these years, but you can't just do whatever you want."

Someone sneered.

"Old Ghost Shen, my junior brother died in your hands, you should give me an explanation."

Someone spoke in a cold tone.

At this moment, there are nearly thirty masters of the blood exchange realm gathered in the entire palace. As the top blood exchange realm figures in the world, they come from various sects. Naturally, there are many people who have old grudges against each other, but they are in the imperial city at this moment. Among them, they came at the invitation of Chen Mu, and they were able to restrain themselves and did not fight, but it was inevitable to face each other head-on.

Zhao Lie and other important officials in the court frowned and felt a little headache when they looked at this scene.

As high-ranking ministers in the court, their status in the Daxuan court can be said to be very important. How could ordinary people in the world dare to be so presumptuous in front of them? But the problem is that the people in the world at this moment are not ordinary people!

Any one of them is a famous master of the blood-changing realm, a supreme figure who is famous all over the world. Therefore, even if they are facing each other head-on, the whole front hall will be depressed and chaotic, and they can't control the situation for a while.

"Everyone."

Shangguan Nan, the head of the Demon Slaying Department, saw that the atmosphere in the front hall was getting more and more depressing, and the hostility between the several masters of the blood exchange realm was getting stronger and stronger. There were almost signs of a fight at any time, so he finally spoke in a deep voice.

As the head of the Demon Slaying Department, Shangguan Nan also has a very resounding reputation. Although he is not a master of heaven and humans, he is recognized as one of the strongest blood exchangers in the world, and is almost the top figure among heaven and humans.

As soon as he opened his mouth, many people in the venue looked over.

"We are gathered here today at the invitation of that person to discuss the affairs of the eleven states of Gyeonggi Province. I hope you will put aside your old grudges for the time being and wait for that person to come here to decide the future affairs of Gyeonggi Province. "

"Otherwise, if a fight breaks out here and angers that person, I'm afraid it won't end easily."

Shangguan Nan spoke in a deep voice.

As the majestic head of the Demon Slaying Division, he is naturally not afraid of any of the blood-changing princes present, or of these sectarian gangsters. But the problem is that with his name, he cannot control so many people. , Chen Mu also had to move out.

Although he only referred to him as 'that person', everyone present naturally knew who Shangguan Nan was referring to. For a while, the people who had hatred towards each other looked at each other coldly, and then fell silent for a while.

Some people sat down slowly and drank tea indifferently.

For everyone present, although Shangguan Nan makes them fearful, they are not afraid of it, but Chen Mu is different. Now Chen Mu is sweeping across Kyoto and is invincible. Once Chen Mu is angered, their entire sect can only be uprooted. In a blink of an eye, although they were all major sects belonging to one side, no one felt that they were qualified to compete with the entire imperial court.

Being invited by Chen Mu today, they were actually forced to come because of Chen Mu's intimidation. They were actually afraid of Chen Mu, but they had to come. After all, this was to determine the future of Zhongzhou, and even the subsequent rule of the entire eleven states of Gyeonggi Province. If someone doesn't come, it will be a small matter to be excluded. If someone falls in Chen Mu's eyes and makes Chen Mu displeased, it will be a big trouble!

Therefore, after receiving the invitation, almost all the supreme figures from the major sects came to the appointment.

Although they have conflicts with each other, and some even go to the point of fighting to the death, it is really unwise to argue here, and no one wants to make it too conspicuous at this time.

The front hall soon fell into silence.

As time went by, other people entered the front hall one after another, causing some disturbances, but no more disputes were caused. Everyone put aside their previous grievances for the time being, and at most they closed their eyes and rested, unable to see their hearts. Not annoying.

The people gathered in the front hall were all people in the blood exchange realm and did not need food or water. However, there were still servants from the imperial court who came over from time to time to offer snacks and tea, not daring to be disrespectful.

At this moment, in the front hall, there was almost no sound of speech. Some people were trying to communicate, and they were talking to each other through sound transmission. The front hall where dozens of people gathered was quiet until a few hours later, a voice came from outside the hall.

"Master Chen is here!"

This was the voice of a palace eunuch.

In fact, there was no need for the inner prison to transmit the voice. Many of the blood-transforming masters in the front hall, the sect's supreme leader, and even Shangguan Nan and other important officials in the court all turned their gazes outside the hall and looked at the man who was walking slowly from outside the hall. That figure.

Chen Mu did not deliberately hide his aura. He just walked into the hall dressed in simple clothes and with a calm expression. When almost everyone present looked at Chen Mu, they couldn't help but show a bit of solemnity and awe.

Chen Mu swept across Kyoto with unparalleled means. Almost most of the people present had a panoramic view. They all knew how terrifying Chen Mu's strength was. His reputation as a Martial Saint was definitely not overstated.

In the front hall.

There was silence.

When Chen Mu stepped into the hall, almost all the princes of the various sects who were seated in the hall, and even the important officials in the court, all stood up one after another. No one dared to sit openly in front of Chen Mu.

Under the attention of many people in the world and important officials of the imperial court, Chen Mu did not show any overwhelming aura. He just walked calmly and walked into the palace step by step. He did not go straight to the main seat. Then he glanced at everyone present, and then slightly cupped his hands.

"Chen Mu, I have met you all."

"I've met Chen Sheng."

"I've met Mr. Chen."

Many of the sect princes present did not dare to neglect and returned the courtesy to Chen Mu. The important officials of the court, such as Shangguan Nan, Zhao Lie and others, also bowed to Chen Mu, but the honorific names for Chen Mu were slightly different. , more official.

Chen Mu looked at Shangguan Nan, Zhao Lie and other important officials of the imperial court, and said in a calm tone: "Chen is a secular warrior and cannot be called a great man. I invite you all to come today because I want to draw up some regulations for the future affairs of Gyeonggi Province. "Don't dare."

Zhao Lie and others responded to Chen Mu.

Seeing Chen Mu calmly walking to the throne and sitting down, Zhao Lie and many other courtiers felt a little relieved. Just imagine that a few years ago, they tried to invite Chen Mu to Kyoto, hoping to win Chen Mu over to the side of the courtiers. Let Chen Mu get rid of the disputes among the eight kings and avoid causing chaos in the world in the future.

As a result, in just a few years, Chen Mu had reached the realm of blood exchange, and had developed his personal martial arts to the point where he was unrivaled in the world. He did not even need to develop his power. He suppressed the entire royal family by himself. All of this is still a bit incredible to think about. .

"It's nine points today, and I have no intention of unifying them for the time being."

After Chen Mu took his seat at the main table, he was the first to speak. This sentence also surprised many people in the room, but some people did not find it strange and their expressions remained very calm.

With the strength that Chen Mu has shown now, it may be an exaggeration to say that he can unify the country in a single thought, but it does not take much effort. In just a few seconds, he can rebuild the world, open up a new dynasty, and create the world of the Chen family.

But precisely because it is only a matter of seconds to ascend to the position of Ninth Five-Year Plan, this position may not be very attractive to Chen Mu. After all, he is already detached from the world and above the ordinary world. If one thought can determine the ownership of the entire world and determine where the world will go, then the position of emperor will be nothing more than a cloud of dust.

"In the past, someone once said that the general trend of the world will be united for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. The Daxuan court has been ruling the world for thousands of years, and the two generations of emperors have gone against the rules, so that the government has been corrupted and the people have no life. But today, Jiufen is in perfect harmony with all parties. Starting anew and reshaping the New Deal will be a good thing for the common people in the world, as long as there is no war. "

Chen Mu said slowly: "Therefore, I have no intention of changing the current structure of the world. This nine-point land of Daxuan is suitable for mutual supervision. Whoever does well will continue to govern. If he does poorly, he will be replaced by someone with integrity and talent." Those who rule it.”

After listening to Chen Mu's words, many important officials of the imperial court and even the supreme figures of various sects were surprised, but they were slightly relieved in their hearts. What they were most worried about was that Chen Mu was dissatisfied with the current situation of the world and wanted to make some changes. , relying on force to change the world into what it wants to see, then chaos will inevitably arise again.

As a result, Chen Mu was more indifferent to the situation of the world than they expected. He didn't even care to declare that the world was divided into nine points and each of the nine points had their own affairs. He also felt that the current situation was in line with the development and changes of the world, so he supported it to a certain extent.

If the governance is not good, then people with good governance will govern it.

This sentence almost set the tone for the future of the world. Don't look at the nine points of the world. The kings of Jin, Chu, etc. were all divided into separate parties, including Yuan Hong, the king of Zhenbei, who also occupied Hanbei. However, Chen Mu's words Therefore, all the kings in the world are still just subjects, ministers responsible for managing their fiefdoms.

Even Chen Mu's will is more shocking than the will of the imperial court in the past, because in the past, even the Daxuan imperial court would not arbitrarily deal with the Taoist jurisdiction of Hanbei Road, Shangyong Road and other places. After all, in the past, it could Those who rule over a land are all real feudal officials. They all have important positions in the court, and they are not likely to be weak in the blood exchange realm.

Even the current Emperor Xuan, a Taoist official who wanted to change a place, had to consider the entanglements of many forces.

But Chen Mu is different.

Once Chen Mu wants to do something, no one dares to disobey him. He will not consider any power entanglements or complicated court politics. He will only rely on his unrivaled personal force to decide the outcome with a flip of his hand!

A person who wields supreme force and acts based on his own joy and anger is above the whole world. No one is afraid of him. If the Supervision Department is to monitor the world and inspect all officials, then Chen Mu is like a god. Overlooking the human world.

Zhao Lie, the chief of the Supervision Department, had a slight glimmer in his eyes at this time.

As the chief of the Supervision Department, he oversees the administration of hundreds of officials. He has great power and is feared by the government and the public. However, he is still a minister after all. Faced with the perverse behavior of two generations of emperors, he has no choice but to sigh in his heart.

The Supervisory Department can supervise hundreds of officials and subordinates, and the emperor controls and supervises the Yamen Bureau. Who can supervise the emperor?

No one could do it in the past.

Even when the world is in chaos and the rule of the Daxuan court is weak, Emperor Xuan is still the most powerful and the lord of the world. No one dares to offend and rules the whole world!

but now,

Chen Mu can do it!

Going to Kyoto alone and pacifying the imperial city in one day, Chen Mu used his unparalleled force to demonstrate that one person can be above the imperial power and above the emperor. From now on, as long as Chen Mu is around, even if The emperor can no longer act recklessly, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, and work hard to govern.

The perverse actions of the past will never return, and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings will never reappear.

"The world has been in chaos for a long time. If we divide it into nine points and rule it, we can indeed start anew and reshape the new government. But today, in this land of 11 states in Gyeonggi Province, we don't know how to govern it?"

This sentence was not asked by Zhao Lie and other courtiers, but by the old owner of Tiance Village cautiously.

Tiancezhuang is one of the eleven states in Gyeonggi Province and occupies a force in Liuzhou. The nine points of the world do not have a great influence on them. He does not care about the governance of other countries, but the future of the eleven states in Gyeonggi Province Where to go is an important question.

Chen Mu glanced at the old owner of Tiance Village and said: "Chen is a martial artist and has no achievements in governance. If it comes to governance, naturally it should be arranged by the ministers of the imperial court."

He finished.

He turned to look at Zhao Lie, Shangguan Nan and even Han Kuo, the chief minister of the cabinet, who were on the other side.

Although Han Kuo, the chief minister of the cabinet, has gray hair, his face is stern and his eyes are firm, giving people a sense of awe. As a person in the Daxuan court, who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, he is naturally He is both civilized and military. When it comes to martial arts, he once shocked Zhongzhou. He is a top figure in the blood exchange realm. When it comes to civilized governance, he is also a great Confucian, with disciples and disciples all over the government and the public.

But at this moment, the chief minister of the cabinet, who could be regarded as the actual helmsman of the Daxuan court after the death of Emperor Xuanfei Ji Xuanfei at the hands of Chen Mu, behaved very cautiously in front of Chen Mu.

"what do you mean…"

Han Kuo looked at Chen Mu and asked cautiously.

Chen Mu said in a calm tone: "From the descendants of the Ji family, choose a young, virtuous and talented person to inherit the throne. Mr. Han and other courtiers will assist Emperor Xuan in running the government. I hope that you can assist with your wholeheartedly and work hard to govern. Don't let it happen." Zhongzhou is in trouble again."

After hearing Chen Mu's words, Han Kuo was slightly startled, then took a deep breath and said solemnly: "If this is the case, I will do my best to assist the new emperor in order to ensure the stability of the world."

He and other courtiers will assist the young and talented people from the Ji family. This is completely different from the past when Emperor Xuan ruled the world. This means that the political affairs of the entire Daxuan court will no longer be determined by Emperor Xuan's words. The decision will be made by courtiers like them!

Even from Chen Mu's words, it can be heard that they are also responsible for the new emperor's 'morality', that is, guidance, teaching, admonishment, and even regulation of the new emperor.

It can be said that from now on, although the person sitting on the throne will still have the surname Ji, the imperial power will no longer be as supreme as in the past.

"Then the court affairs will be hard work for Mr. Han."

Chen Mu nodded slightly towards Han Kuo.

He was not familiar with government affairs and was not good at it. Under such circumstances, he was even less interested in getting involved in governance. The so-called specialization in the art could be left to Han Kuo and other courtiers to minimize chaos.

Moreover, the Daxuan court still regards the Ji family as the royal family. Although it selects one person from a collateral branch, many things do not need to be changed, and it can still minimize chaos.

As for whether Han Kuo and others can control the government well, there is no need to worry too much.

Just as he said.

The nine parts of the world are governed by those with virtue and talent. If Han Kuo and others can't do it well, then someone else will be replaced, just like the other eight states of Donglin, Shangyong, etc. who were divided. People will do it and he will watch.

At this moment, Chen Mu thought of Yan Jingqing who was far away in Yuzhou, Hanbei. For a moment, there was a sigh in his eyes: "Today, Mr. Yan can finally show his ambition in life."

Entering the government has always been Yan Jingqing's long-cherished wish in his life. Today, when the world is first established and order is first established, it is also the time for Yan Jingqing to display his talents. Although Zhongzhou has high mountains and long roads, Yan Jingqing will not refuse to go to Zhongzhou and step into it. As a member of the court, he received a lot of care from Yan Jingqing in the past, and now he can repay this karma.

"Chen Sheng."

At this time, someone spoke again, but it was a figure from the sectarian side.

A middle-aged man bowed his hand to Chen Mu and asked cautiously: "I, Fei Li of the Bahuang Sect, would like to ask Chen Sheng that the situation in the court has been decided, but what will happen to the situation in the world?"

There are inevitably many conflicts between the sect forces and the court. The rules of the world and the court's laws are destined to be impossible to be completely unified. As long as the world is still a prosperous world of martial arts, sects and the court cannot coexist completely peacefully.

After hearing this, Chen Mu pondered for a while and said: "The affairs of the world are all matters of the world. As long as it does not cause trouble to the world, the sect forces can act in accordance with the rules of the world. But if it causes trouble to the world, the court's laws will not be merciful."

In a world where martial arts are prosperous, it is impossible for the imperial court to govern the sectarian forces according to the law unless the sectarian forces are completely wiped out, and Chen Mu does not intend to do so. Countless years have passed since the world has developed to the present point, and the rules and regulations of the world have been formed. The imperial laws and regulations naturally have a set of nodes for harmonious coexistence, and there will be no problem if they follow the laws of development in the world.

"If so, then there is no doubt about it."

After hearing Chen Mu's words, Fei Li nodded immediately.

He saw that Chen Mu attached great importance to the governance of the court, and was worried that Chen Mu would support the court forces too much, which would end up fighting each other and seeking revenge. It would be too awkward to have to greet the government in advance and be under the constraints of the court. , if things go on like this, there will inevitably be chaos. After all, in the past when the Daxuan court was at its peak, it never fully intervened in the sectarian forces.

He was relieved to hear that Chen Mu meant to maintain the status quo ante and had no inclination toward the sect or the court.

"Okay, there are only a few things that I invite you to come here to discuss. Now that we have almost explained them, I won't waste your time anymore. If you have any other questions about Jianghu affairs and court affairs, please Just discuss it with each other.”

Chen Mu saw that many of the sects' princes present and the important ministers of the imperial court had no objections at this time, so he nodded slightly, stood up, said something in a calm tone, and walked out of the palace.

After a few steps, the figure disappeared outside the hall.

Only many important officials of the imperial court and the replacement princes of various sects were left behind, watching Chen Mu leave with either solemn or sighing expressions.
