Lü Yang had fallen, but Lü Yang's descendants were not capable and could not support the Da Ying Dynasty. Thus, the Da Ying Dynasty was destroyed.
The Da Qian Celestial Dynasty and the Daewon Imperial Dynasty quickly dispatched their troops. They wanted to take more of the Da Ying Dynasty's territory as quickly as possible. For a time, the smoke of war rose in Ying Province.
Lu Shen City:
After Gu Hai destroyed Lü Yang and returned, the former citizens of the Lu Shen Dynasty all acknowledged Gu Hai. The twelve cities all acknowledged Gu Hai.
After Gu Hai took over Lu Shen City, his first decree was to change the name of the city.
"Lu Shen City experienced a great calamity, but Huangfu Chaoge's soul will never be extinguished. From today onwards, Lu Shen City will be renamed Chaoge! Chaoge City! Let us remember Huangfu Chaoge forever and never forget her! "Gu Hai's voice spread to all the cities of the Han Dynasty through the sea of providence clouds.
Chaoge?
The countless citizens and officials were stunned at first. They did not expect Gu Hai to be so bold and decisive right after he took over Lu Shen City. However, in the next moment, they heard the name change to Chaoge. All the citizens and officials felt touched.
"We obey the emperor's decree!" the countless officials called out respectfully.
Some people could tell that Gu Hai was trying to win the hearts of the citizens to better control the twelve cities. However, no one could reject such a win. They could only feel grateful.
A few days ago, Huangfu Chaoge had told Gu Hai about the quality of the officials in the twelve cities. Although the twelve cities belonged to the Han Dynasty, Gu Hai knew that only Chaoge City was under his complete control. The other eleven cities were still drifting.
Hence, the first step was to quickly change the political system.
The two hundred officials from Nine-Five Island were quickly assigned to all the important positions in the eleven cities. However, in order not to stand out, they were all deputy positions.
For example, each city only had one City Lord, but Gu Hai arranged for the twelve most capable former shopkeepers to become Deputy City Lords, and promoted the original officials to become the second Deputy City Lord. The position vacated by that official was replaced by someone arranged by Gu Hai.
As a result, the authority of the original officials in the various cities did not decrease, and they were even promoted. However, Gu Hai's men were cleverly inserted into the ranks.
There was a terrifying amount of information about a country, and it was not something that could be read in a short time. However, time was tight, so Gu Hai could only find another way and spread out all the information.
Xiao Chen's gaze swept through all the information. Between his brows, each Go board had a clone of Gu Hai's consciousness on it. There were more than 9,000 Gu Hai consciousnesses. Gu Hai looked at each piece of information. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen read through all the information.
Gu Hai quickly digested the information and continuously sorted out everything about the twelve cities.
Orders were sent out one after another.
Gu Hai could not stop for even a moment, because Gu Hai felt a great sense of urgency.
News came in one after another. The Daewon Imperial Empire had gone all out this time, swallowing the territories of the Gengjin Sect, the Greedy Wolf Sect, the Great Huang Dynasty, and almost half of Ying Province. Now, they were in contact with the Da Qian Celestial Empire's southern army.
Gu Hai's twelve cities faced the sea to the east, and the south, west, and north were all territories that the Daewon Imperial Empire had seized.
Now, the twelve cities were surrounded by the Daewon Imperial Empire. They were basically food for the Daewon Imperial Empire. How could the Daewon Imperial Empire not eat them? That was why they did not send an army to suppress the border, and instead focused on seizing more territory in Ying Province.
Therefore, Gu Hai had to be quick. While the people still had Huangfu Chaoge in their hearts, he had to use her to stabilize the hearts of the people and do his best to preserve these cities.
Lu Shen City was renamed to Chaoge City. The original palace hall was renamed to Huangfu Hall. Gu Hai also arranged for people to erect statues of Huangfu Chaoge in the twelve cities as soon as possible. This was so that the hearts of the people and the army would not forget about Huangfu Chaoge.
Of the two hundred officials, Gu Hai sent a Lu Shi person to protect them. After all, those who came from Nine-Five Island were too weak.
On this day, after Gu Hai approved a large number of orders again, he went out and took a deep breath.
"M-Master!" The North Star Polaris walked up nervously.
"Hmm?" Gu Hai looked at Gouchen in confusion.
"Master, I have an idea, but I don't know …!" Gouchen said hesitantly.
"Just say it. I've been busy these days, and I don't have time to chat with you!" Gu Hai said doubtfully.
"Master, I want to go out and enjoy the scenery!" Gouchen said expectantly.
"Huh?" Gu Hai did not react immediately.
"I feel that my singing has reached a bottleneck. I want to go out and experience it myself. I want to find inspiration and come back to create music that everyone likes to listen to!" Gouchen said expectantly.
"Bottleneck? Find inspiration? Compose music? "Gu Hai rubbed his temples.
Why was it that when the Gouchen said those words, it sounded so wrong?
"I know that I shouldn't do this. I'm only a heaven-class zither and should follow Master. However, the world is so big. I-I want to see it!" Gouchen said expectantly.
Gu Hai stared at Gouchen for a while. Gouchen felt very nervous.
After a while, Gu Hai smiled and said, "Gouchen, do you know? Although I did not like your personality back then, I never thought of changing your way of thinking. Do you know why? "
"Huh? I don't know! "Gouchen shook his head.
"Pojun, his consciousness was given to him by Lü Yang. All of his will is based on Lü Yang. Although he has a soul, he does not have his own thoughts. Although I did not like your personality back then, it is still you. I will not change you, nor do I want to change you. Everything about you will develop by yourself. I only hope that you can work hard in the direction you like and help me one day!" Gu Hai said solemnly.
"Huh? Master, you're letting me go? But I heard you say that there might be a threat from the Daewon Imperial Dynasty? Don't you want my help? "Gouchen was slightly taken aback.
"No need. I, Gu Hai, am not someone who can't live without others. Go, before I change my mind," Gu Hai said with a smile.
"Yes, Master. You are the best master in the world! I will compose a song on the way back. When I come back, I will sing it all for you! "Gouchen said emotionally.
Gu Hai's face darkened. "Scram!"
After Gouchen left, Gu Hai continued to busy himself.
Another three days later, Gu Hai's eight hundred decrees were all sent to twelve cities. However, the decrees that were issued in the past few days left the old officials flabbergasted.
The efficiency of the new Emperor was too terrifying. Eight hundred decrees in six days?
The officials suddenly had an intuitive understanding of the new Emperor.
Although Xiao Chen did not have a good understanding of Gu Hai's character, his ability to govern was extremely horrifying. This gave Xiao Chen even more respect for Gu Hai.
"Your Majesty, there is a flying ship from Silver Moon City. The leader calls himself Shangguan Hen and wishes to see you!" A guard came forward to report.
"Oh? Shangguan Hen? You have come at the right time! "Gu Hai said with a smile.
Soon, Shangguan Hen led the first batch of officials that Gu Hai had brought to Silver Moon City to Huangfu Hall to see Gu Hai.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live for ten thousand years!" The officials said respectfully.
"Greetings to the Emperor!" Shangguan Hen also said with a smile.
After half a year, Shangguan Hen's aura was more restrained. He looked ordinary, but Gu Hai saw a strong self-confidence in his eyes. Obviously, his cultivation had improved tremendously.
"How is Silver Moon City?" Gu Hai asked.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Silver Moon City is temporarily guarded by Silver Moon Villa and Mu Chenfeng with the Wood Branch disciples. Everything in the First Zither Building on this street is in order! "An official said with a smile.
"Tang Chu!" Gu Hai looked at the official.
"Present!" the official said with a solemn expression.
"You have been with me the longest. Before Nine-Five Island was established, you were the manager in charge of the country. You are very experienced. Now that you have operated the First Zither Building on this street for so long, you should have some understanding of the business of the cultivator world, right?" Gu Hai looked at the official.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Tang Chu nodded.
"This batch of sixty officials is the first batch of officials to operate the First Zither Building on this street. Here is a batch of information. Go back and take a look. At the same time, I will send a large number of experts to listen to your orders. Tang Chu will be in charge of opening branches for me and expanding my territory! "Gu Hai said.
"Yes!" Tang Chu and the other officials answered.
Gu Hai handed over a large amount of information to Tang Chu. Tang Chu called the other officials and took the information back to his residence to read it.
"Silver Moon City is one of our contact points. The news from Nine-Five Island will reach Silver Moon City first before it reaches you. This is a letter from the crown prince to you! "Shangguan Hen took out a letter and handed it to Gu Hai.
Gu Hai quickly opened the letter and read it. As Gu Hai read the letter, he narrowed his eyes. "The Great Myōjin?"
"I also heard from the person who delivered the letter that this Great Myōjin is here to repay your kindness?" Shangguan Hen asked, feeling confused.
Gu Hai remained silent for a while. Then, he narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "Repay your kindness? Hah! This Great Myōjin does not come with good intentions! "
"Oh? He does not come with good intentions? "Shangguan Hen raised his eyebrows.
Gu Hai nodded.
"That is problematic. This Great Myōjin is a troublesome person. Furthermore, he is extremely strong!" Shangguan Hen said with a frown.
"Oh? Extremely strong? Opening the Heavenly Palace? "Gu Hai asked.
Shangguan Hen nodded.
"How is he compared to Lü Yang?" Gu Hai asked doubtfully.
"Lü Yang? Haha, he is not his opponent! "Shangguan Hen smiled bitterly.
"What do you mean?" Gu Hai asked, puzzled.
"Opening the Heavenly Palace is just a general description of cultivation. Humans have three spiritual souls and seven physical souls. When one cultivates to the fifth physical soul, which is the Five Nascent Soul Realm, one can attack the Heavenly Palace. The Heavenly Palace is the place where the three spiritual souls live! "Shangguan Hen explained.
"The three spiritual souls live in the Heavenly Palace? At the head? "Gu Hai asked doubtfully.
"Yes, the Heavenly Palace is divided into three levels, where the three spiritual souls, heaven, and earth reside. Lü Yang only opened the Lower Heavenly Palace where the human soul resides. Perhaps he is at the peak of the Lower Heavenly Palace, but it is still the Lower Heavenly Palace," Shangguan Hen explained.
"The Heavenly Palace has three levels, the Upper Heavenly Palace, the Middle Heavenly Palace, and the Lower Heavenly Palace, where the three spiritual souls reside?"
"Yes. Back then, Old Man Guanqi opened all three levels of the Heavenly Palace. That was why he was qualified to play chess with the heavens and wanted to become an immortal. Lü Yang has only opened the Lower Heavenly Palace. He is far from Old Man Guanqi! "
"What about the Great Myōjin?"
"At least he opened the Middle Heavenly Palace!"
"You said at least he opened the Middle Heavenly Palace. At least, what do you mean? "
"I can only be sure that he opened the Middle Heavenly Palace. As for whether he opened the Upper Heavenly Palace, I am not sure!" Shangguan Hen smiled bitterly.
