Attacking the Three Sects and Two Dynasties was extremely fast without any accidents. Most importantly, the other four powers didn't interfere, allowing Gao Xianzhi and Mo Yike to report back to the Infinite Celestial Capital time and time again.
The gap between imperial and sovereign dynasties was still huge. Imperial dynasties and sovereigns were all above the middle celestial palace, and there was even a group of middle celestial palace officials in the imperial court. Just like Xiyu The Great in the past, if Xiyu The Great had interfered, the Dahan army would have been defeated again and again.
Now, the four powers had just received news of Gu Hai's return, and were still unsure of the Han Dynasty's situation. Moreover, the Heaven Realm was infamous. Now that he had returned, he would make an example out of anyone who interfered. The imperial dynasties and middle sects didn't get involved either.
Although the Han Dynasty had a huge lower celestial palace army, there weren't many peerless experts above that. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been forced into the Infinite Celestial Capital by the three powers several months ago.
Gao Xianzhi's method was to use violence to curb violence, and after a few exchanges, she killed the sovereign of the imperial court.
Mo Yike's method was to use soft knives. If the sect masters of the sects chose to accept the amnesty, then so be it. If they didn't, then the spies Mo Yike planted in the past would sow dissension within the sect. The Reliance Sect accepted the amnesty, and the Blue Cloud Sect resisted with all their might. However, after Mo Yike's sowing dissension, they actually killed each other internally. The Blue Cloud Sect's sect master even went crazy and slaughtered a group of elders. In the Burning Xiang Valley, Mo Yike killed a batch of people, recruited another batch, and escaped.
In a short half a year, the five powers were completely annihilated.
Streams of fate continuously flowed into the Infinite Celestial Capital.
After destroying the Three Sects and Two Dynasties, Gao Xianzhi and Mo Yike immediately returned to the imperial court. As for the following matters, the two didn't need to do it personally. The other imperial courts and sects naturally had their own Dahan officials who wanted to perform. The two didn't need to do it, and they could also share some of the credit with others.
"Rumble!"
The destiny of the Infinite Celestial Capital continued to increase.
Soaring Palace Hall. Mo Yike and Gao Xianzhi returned.
"Country Protector Daewon Marshal, First Army Commander Gao Xianzhi, has rendered meritorious service in conquering the border, vanquishing the Ye Hui Sovereign King and the Yongzheng Sovereign King. He is hereby conferred the title of Third Grade Country Protector of the Han Dynasty and rewarded with one hundred million high-grade spirit stones!" An attendant announced.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gao Xianzhi took a deep breath and smiled.
"Daewon, Grand Marshal of the Fourth Army, Mo Yike, has rendered meritorious service in conquering the border. He has recruited the Reliance Sect, annihilated the Blue Cloud Sect, and destroyed FenXiang Valley. He is conferred the title of Third Class Grand Duke of the Han Dynasty, and is rewarded with one hundred million high-grade spirit stones!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mo Yike also said respectfully.
…
…
…
A series of rewards were announced. Some of the officials who had contributed greatly in opening up the new territory were rewarded one by one.
With the rewards, it meant that Gu Hai had forgiven the mistakes of the officials in the past.
"Your Majesty, the Country Protector Duke and the Country Protector Duke have taken back many cities and opened up many new territories. Now, our Dahan Imperial Dynasty has reached three hundred cities. Among all the Imperial Dynasties in the world, we are one of the top few!" Chen Tianshan said with a smile.
"Three hundred cities? However, it is not peaceful. The people's hearts are not stable, and the country's prestige is not right. We need to appease the people and carry out good governance. "Gu Hai sat on the Dragon Throne and said after a moment of silence.
"Yes!" The officials nodded.
"Chen Tianshan!" Gu Hai said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"From today onwards, you will be in charge of appeasing the people of the cities and supervising the implementation of good governance. Quickly let the people who have just entered the Dahan cities accept the Dahan Imperial Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts and turn their wandering hearts into hearts that are loyal to the Han. The hearts of the people are the will of the heavens. They cannot be scattered, suppressed, respected, and loved! "Gu Hai instructed.
"This official obeys!" Chen Tianshan replied.
"Your Majesty, the Assistant Minister of Rites, Lord Li, is a conscientious man who serves the country and the people. In the past, he even helped to clear the grievances of the citizens of Mending Sky City, and was conferred the title 'Li Qingtian' by the people. Today, the Embroidered Uniform Guards broke into his house, and a large number of his family members were captured and thrown into the Embroidered Uniform Guards' prison. Those who resisted were all executed. Your Majesty, Lord Li has been wrongly accused. This subject will jointly impeach the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Meng Tai, for abusing his power and harming a loyal subject!"
"This official agrees! Your Majesty, please punish Montes and let him face the music! "
"This official agrees!"
"This official agrees!"
… … …
… … … …
… …
Immediately, many officials stood up and criticized Montes of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
On the Dragon Throne, Gu Hai lightly tapped his fingers on the armrest as he looked at Montes through the beaded curtain of the flat imperial crown.
Montes walked out.
"Your Majesty, the Embroidered Uniform Guards have received news that the Assistant Minister of Rites, Lord Li, colluded with the Yongzheng Dynasty and had his son open the gates of Heaven Mending City. They worked with the Yongzheng Dynasty and betrayed the country for glory. In the end, the Lord of Heaven Mending City and his family were forced to die in the Lord's Mansion. The Embroidered Uniform Guards conducted a thorough investigation and entered the Li Mansion. Lord Li resisted stubbornly and did not repent, resulting in a battle. This is the evidence of the crime. Your Majesty, please take a look!" Montes respectfully took out a thick stack of documents.
"Let my beloved officials examine it!" Gu Hai said calmly.
"Yes!" Montes held the documents and handed them to the officials who had just jumped out to impeach him.
The officials took them blankly and looked at them carefully. At first, they thought that Montes had done it deliberately, but as they looked at them, they were shocked. The evidence was irrefutable. The officials broke out in cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, I was deceived by a villain and misunderstood Lord Meng. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"I was deceived by a villain and almost misunderstood Lord Meng. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
… … …
… … …
… …
All of a sudden, the crowd of officials changed sides and began to beg for forgiveness.
"Those who don't know are not guilty!" Gu Hai said calmly.
The officials immediately returned to their positions and were ashamed.
Today was just the beginning. The bloody purge of the Embroidered Uniform Guards had just begun. One by one, the officials were found to have colluded with foreign enemies and caused chaos in the imperial court. Kill, kill, kill!
For a time, the impeachment memorials floated like snowflakes to the study. However, Montes had collected enough evidence this time and suppressed everything.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards were also completely covered by the evil reputation of the Demon Army. For a whole month, the officials of the Dahan felt that they were in danger.
Fortunately, a month had passed and everything was fine. The Embroidered Uniform Guards no longer killed people. Gu Hai also needed a stable political environment.
Everything in the Dahan Imperial Dynasty went back to normal. Now that it had just become an Imperial Dynasty, there were a lot of things to do. Fortunately, Gu Hai approved policies and decrees quickly.
Decrees after decrees were passed down, allowing the Dahan Imperial Dynasty to quickly get on the right track.
The officials also worked hard and did their best to pacify the three hundred cities of the Dahan Imperial Dynasty.
During this time, the four powers also sent envoys to build good relations. Gu Hai also asked the Ministry of Rites to send envoys to other countries. For a time, the Dahan Imperial Dynasty seemed to be like a normal Imperial Dynasty, resting and building up strength.
Until half a year later. A guest came to the Dahan Imperial Dynasty.
Guan Jiu, the former Ninth Young Master of the Sky Chess Pavilion, once played chess with Gu Hai on Nine-Five Island and helped Gu Hai. Later, he was invited by the Long Zhanguo to start the Thousand Sage Conference. The Ninth Young Master was in charge of chess.
The Ninth Young Master came alone. Gu Hai was still quite friendly to him. They did not meet at the National Ceremony but instead held a family banquet, just Gu Hai and the Ninth Young Master. A group of attendants was in charge of pouring wine and adding dishes.
"Ninth Young Master, it has been a long time since we last met. What wind blew you here?" Gu Hai smiled and raised his cup to toast.
The Ninth Young Master no longer had the arrogance of the past. Instead, he drank a cup of wine bitterly and said, "Congratulations to the Ancient Emperor. The Dahan Imperial Dynasty is flourishing!"
Gu Hai smiled and looked at the Ninth Young Master, as if waiting for the Ninth Young Master to continue.
"Guqin is the son of the Ancient Emperor. Sigh, he should have been the one to come. However, he came with Feng Yue last time, which can be considered as having bad relations with the Dahan Imperial Dynasty. That is why I am the one running the errands!" the Ninth Young Master said with a bitter smile.
"Bad relations? He is my son after all. There is no such thing as bad relations. However, I am rather puzzled about Guqin's current state. Is he Guqin? "Gu Hai stared at the Ninth Young Master.
The Ninth Young Master nodded and said, "He is indeed Guqin! He has inherited the Pavilion Master's legacy and has the Pavilion Master's mark. No matter which of the nine sons of Guanqi dies, their three souls will be transferred to the Sky Chess Pavilion and their bodies will be reconstructed. He is Guqin. However, he no longer has his seven emotions and six desires. He is only loyal to the Pavilion Master! "
"Oh? He is really Guqin? "Gu Hai's expression suddenly changed.
"Yes. Not only Guqin, but the Qing Emperor is also the same. He is only loyal to the Pavilion Master. Therefore, it is normal for Guqin to have some unusual offending. The Sky Chess Pavilion revived him. He is only loyal to the Pavilion Master! "the Ninth Young Master explained.
"He is only loyal to Old Man Guanqi? His seven emotions and six desires are gone? His past feelings are gone? Is there a way to recover? "Gu Hai asked worriedly.
"No. Perhaps the Pavilion Master knows. However, there is nothing I can do!" the Ninth Young Master said with a bitter smile.
Gu Hai's expression changed. After a while, he sighed softly and bowed to the Ninth Young Master. "Thank you for telling me!"
"It's nothing. You will find out about this sooner or later. I am just telling you in advance!" the Ninth Young Master said as he shook his head.
"I wonder why the Ninth Young Master is here …?" Gu Hai asked curiously again.
The Ninth Young Master flipped his hand and took out an invitation card. He passed it to Gu Hai.
"This is?" Gu Hai took it curiously.
The invitation card was half black and half white. On the white side, the words' Resurrection Conference 'were written in large letters.
Revival Conference? Gu Hai's expression changed.
"One year later, the Pavilion Master will be revived. The Ancient Emperor is invited to the Thousand Islands Sea to attend the ceremony!" the Ninth Young Master said Solemnly.
"One year later, Old Man Guanqi will be revived? Revival Conference? Wasn't Old Man Guanqi killed by the Immortal of the Six Paths? "Gu Hai suddenly raised an eyebrow.
"The Pavilion Master has his own means to revive. Therefore, he has invited the leaders of the two Sacred Grounds, the two Celestial Dynasties, and some extremely powerful experts, such as the Ancient Emperor," the Ninth Young Master said with a smile.
"Oh? One year later? Old Man Guanqi reminded us early. Isn't he afraid that someone will come and ruin it? "Gu Hai frowned.
If someone came with good intentions to attend the ceremony, it wouldn't matter. However, if someone came with bad intentions and ruined the revival process, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
If it were him, he would definitely carry it out quietly. Why announce it to the world?
"The Pavilion Master's revival this time isn't as simple as that. He will also bring back the heavenly souls of all those who died in the past 800 years!" the Ninth Young Master explained.
"What did you say? Heavenly souls? "Gu Hai's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Yes. The Pavilion Master failed in the Heavenly Battle and died? No, the Pavilion Master planned his entire life and always had a backup plan. Back then, the Pavilion Master fought the Heavenly Battle to retrieve the heavenly soul of his wife, Murong Yan. In the end, even though he had failed and died, the Cabinet Leader had done it on purpose. He had gone to the place where the heavenly spirits were and had gone to look for Murong Yan's heavenly spirit. He had probably found it. This time, he had not only brought back Murong Yan, but also all the heavenly spirits who had died in the past eight hundred years. All the major powers have people who can be revived, right? Family, friends, and heavenly souls will follow the Pavilion Master back to the Thousand Islands Sea. Therefore, no one will ruin it. Instead, they will stand guard for the Pavilion Master and await his return! "the Ninth Young Master explained.
"Heavenly souls? Heavenly souls? Doesn't that mean...? "Gu Hai's heart skipped a beat, and he was overjoyed.
Chen Xian'er? He was most worried about the heavenly souls. Now, they were going to return?
