Chaoge City seemed to be a little lively recently.
Li Changshou, who had originally shifted his attention to a few important passes in the Shang Dynasty, had no choice but to temporarily shift his gaze back.
The small earthquake that Zi Shou had killed seemed to have endless aftershocks.
Li Changshou captured a communication jade token coming from the southeast and landing in Young Master Wen Zhong's residence. In less than an hour, Wen Zhong secretly left the Young Master's residence and rushed in the direction of the jade token.
He should have returned to the Green Touring Palace to report.
Just as Wen Zhong left, a few streams of light flew into the night sky of Chaoge City. The few "restaurant immortals" of Chan School returned and sneaked into Chaoge City.
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows.
His intuition told him that there would be a good show later. He continued to observe secretly and wait.
Wen Zhong returned three days later with a relaxed expression.
If Li Changshou was right, Wen Zhong should have told him about his gains in the mortal world over the years in the Green Touring Palace. He recommended Zi Shou to be the "commander" of the mortal game of Jie School and obtained the support of Jie School.
To be safe, Li Changshou still wrote a letter to Zhao Gongming and asked about the matter.
It was not much different from his deduction.
After Wen Zhong returned to the Green Touring Palace, he first paid his respects to the Goddess of Golden Spirit and was then brought to Daoist Duobao.
Wen Zhong knelt down and apologized. He said what he had seen and heard in the Shang Nation and analyzed the power structure inside and outside the Shang Nation. He explained the relationship between the merchants and the 800 dukes in detail.
There was another matter related to Li Changshou.
Wen Zhong actually said that Li Changshou supported Zi Shou to be the next King of Shang with the excuse of "the emissary argued with Di Yi and made Zi Shou his heir".
Hence, Jie School did not hesitate much and decided to fully support Zi Shou to become the King of Shang.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Fortunately, Zhao Gongming's reply also included Senior Brother Duobao's words after Wen Zhong left.
Daoist Duobao said,
"Disciple-Nephew Wen Zhong clearly likes Crown Prince Zi Shou. He has the love a teacher has for his disciple. His words can be trusted, but he cannot be completely trusted.
We still have to make two preparations for this matter. On the one hand, we support Zi Shou to become the king of Shang. On the other hand, we continue to observe the various vassals and see which one will suddenly rise in the future.
For example, the Jiang family in the east was wealthy and powerful. The Shang King had no choice but to use marriage as a pretext to keep Jiang Huanchu in line.
At least we won't lose anything if we bet on both sides. "
Only then did Li Changshou feel relieved. He was really afraid that Jie School would slap his thigh and confirm his future path.
It wouldn't be too late to make a decision after taking a look.
A few days after Wen Zhong returned to Chaoge City, the "restaurant immortals" of Chan School began to secretly become active.
First, they showed their special magic to attract the attention of the officials and nobles in the city. Then, they became familiar with these officials and gave them some magic pills and amulets that didn't increase their lifespans or cure diseases. As a result, they became the honored guests of the nobles in Zhaoge City.
Mortals yearned for nothing more than to prolong their lifespans and be free of diseases and disasters. Although that was not very open and aboveboard, it was just right.
Li Changshou concluded that the senior brothers of Chan School must have been guiding him behind his back.
The reason was probably because Wen Zhong and Zi Shou were too close.
Hence, Li Changshou … stabilized himself again.
A letter was sent to Perfected Taiyi's Cave Abode and he quickly received a reply.
Perfected Taiyi mentioned in the letter that Chan School was indeed worried about the third-generation disciple of Jie School, Wen Zhong. Wen Zhong's current status in Chaoge City and his future development potential.
According to Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, Chan School had to at least "match" Jie School on this matter.
Therefore, Chan School had made two preparations.
Firstly, he supported Wei Ziqi and promoted his identity as the eldest son of Di Yi.
Secondly, he planted a disciple of Chan School beside Zi Shou and gradually obtained Zi Shou's trust to check and balance Wen Zhong.
Chan School had always been in check and balance.
The battle for the throne in Chaoge City officially began.
The first people to enter the arena from both sides were third-generation disciples. After Li Changshou's two pointers, Wen Zhong began to quickly adapt to the days of scheming.
At this stage, the battle between the two sides was mainly focused on roping in the courtiers and generals.
Zi Shou and Wen Zhong made a good move.
They chose Huang Feihu, the son of the military aristocratic family, Huang Rolan, and nurtured him carefully.
Zi Shou and Huang Feihu had known each other since they were young. The latter was proficient in the art of war and outstanding in martial arts. He had the power to tear tigers and leopards apart. He was a rising star in the army.
Zi Shou protected Huang Feihu and supported him to advance in the army.
Huang Feihu was rather hardworking. In the past three years, he had gone out on expeditions several times and won consecutively.
Huang Rolan had long been the commander of the Jiepai Pass. He was a high-ranking official and had close ties with many old aristocratic families.
Zi Shou suggested in front of the hall that Di Yi readily agreed. Huang Feihu was conferred the title of General Tiger and Wolf. He was in charge of guarding Chaoge City and leading the military affairs outside Chaoge City.
That was equivalent to handing half of Chaoge City to Zi Shou in advance.
Chan School reacted because of that. The Three Great Scholars Heavenly Legion came. Samantabhadra and Ci Hang, along with Chi Jingzi, conspired to plot against Chaoge City.
Not long after, rumors spread in the city. Soon, Li Changshou's familiar move appeared …
The river on the north side of Chaoge City dried up for three days. An ancient tablet appeared in the mud of the riverbed. There were four words engraved on it.
Shang Duanzi Shou.
That matter caused a huge uproar in Chaoge City.
A few days later, cracks appeared in the mausoleums of the past kings of Shang. Two mausoleums even collapsed.
Di Yi could not sleep because of that.
The mortals in the Primordial World had no choice but to be superstitious and believe in the words of gods and ghosts.
In the Young Master's Residence, Wen Zhong was so anxious that his hair turned white. He hurriedly asked the Jade Void Palace for help and invited the Goddess of Turtle Spirit and the Goddess of Wudang.
Fortunately, the Goddess of Golden Spirit did not come to Chaoge City to draw her sword …
The two parties attacked continuously and wrestled with each other across space. It did not matter if it was sinister or not. It was fine as long as it was useful.
Li Changshou was purely watching the show. He sat on half a stool in the Great Historian's Residence every day. He released his immortal senses and all kinds of situations appeared in his heart.
Although the scene was good, it was a little "expensive" for Di Yi.
Di Yi, who could have lasted for a few more years in the position of the king of Shang, "aged" at a visible speed. His physical condition was deteriorating every day. The handover would be in the next three to four years.
That further stimulated the power struggle in Chaoge City.
When the top immortal Dao factions began to interfere with the mortal royal authority, they would definitely affect the original order of the mortal world and a series of magical events would occur.
When an immortal of Chan School suggested that they secretly approached the palace and modified Di Yi's memories …
Li Changshou, who had been watching the show, had no choice but to stand up.
Play and mess around, don't joke about the Human Emperor.
Now, in the order of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, although the Human Emperor was only a mortal, he could not be messed with casually.
Li Changshou waved his wide sleeve. The soldiers and servants of the Great Historian's Residence almost ran out of their legs. The dark net that was woven in Chaoge City quickly surfaced, catching Chan School and Jie School off guard.
First, in the Great King's Hall, the twenty-nine ministers jointly submitted a memorial. They said that there were rumors in Chaoge City and alchemists were wandering around with the intention of disrupting the court. They should investigate this matter thoroughly.
Then, the female sacrificial group requested that the Great Heaven and Earth Ceremony, which should have been held three years later, be brought forward to an auspicious day in a month's time. They would worship their ancestors, the Heavenly Emperor, and pray for the prosperity of the country and good weather.
The king of Shang pondered for a long time and agreed. The people inside and outside Chaoge City immediately became busy.
Chan School had the idea of the Great Sacrifice this time. They had made many arrangements outside and were prepared to make Zi Shou embarrass himself and lose his position as the heir.
Jie School had long expected that. They naturally protected him secretly and wanted him to complete the ceremony smoothly.
However, on that day.
The king of Shang slowly climbed up the platform in the middle of Chaoge City. Before Zi Shou could move forward, golden light suddenly filled the sky. Muffled thunder sounded from all directions.
The king of Shang was overjoyed when he saw that. He finished chanting the prayers with a trembling voice. The golden light turned into two groups of golden-armored divine generals and flew over from the sky.
What followed was the vast heavenly might!
He looked at the leading Divine General. She was dressed in a light red dress and a golden armor. Her slender figure became more and more fiery, but she had an unconcealable dignity that mortals did not dare to look at.
She was naturally Youqin Genya.
The allowance for this trip was 30,000 Spirit Stones.
Youqin Genya flew into the sky and looked down at the old king of Shang below. Her gaze swept across the city, and her calm and lark-like voice spread everywhere.
"By the orders of the Haotian Golden Palace, the Jade Emperor!
The Shang Nation is protected by the Celestial Court in the mortal world. Those who dare to use spells to disturb the Shang Nation's court will be listed as demons and enemies of the Celestial Court. "
After saying that, Youqin Genya turned around and left. Her ponytail swung in the air in a carefree and awe-inspiring manner.
"Ancestor!"
The king of Shang recognized Youqin Genya and could not help but shout,
"Ancestor, can you bring me back with you!?!"
Youqin Genya frowned slightly and looked down at the trembling Di Yi. She did not know how to answer, but when she heard a voice transmission, she immediately replied,
"Since you're the human emperor, how can you let down your subjects and people?
There are differences between immortals and mortals. The Human Dao has its prosperity, and the Immortal Dao has its pain. Be a good king. If you don't do anything against your conscience, the world will not treat you unfairly. "
After saying that, the golden light in the sky retracted. Youqin Genya and the two teams of Divine Generals rose into the sky and disappeared.
As soon as Youqin Genya left, the Chan School and Jie School immediately stopped the plan today. The disciples of both sides temporarily withdrew from Chaoge City and discussed it later.
The two sects naturally knew about Youqin Genya's identity.
Although her cultivation level was not high, she was the Goddess of War of the Celestial Court, a disciple of the Duxian Gate of the Immortal Sect of Ren School, and a junior sister that Lord Taibai Jinxing, Li Changgeng, trusted.
Her appearance in Chaoge City today could be interpreted in several ways. It was basically equivalent to the person in charge of the tribulation shouting in the ears of the Eldest Senior Brothers of the two sects.
"You've crossed the boundary. Stop."
He carefully experienced it, but he was reminding the Chan School and Jie School that the battle for the throne could not involve the current human emperor.
After the ceremony, Chaoge City finally calmed down.
However, the peace only lasted for two months. There was another commotion in the army. Huang Feihu's deputy general was assassinated. His death was extremely strange.
The Inheritance Battle had already begun to show signs of blood.
Li Changshou turned a blind eye to that and allowed the Chan School and Jie School to torment each other. He stuck to his principles as a "referee".
Firstly, he would definitely not be angry … Ahem, he had taken the wrong script.
His principles were actually very simple. He could not attack the Human Emperor or innocent mortals. Apart from that, there was only one last rule.
Those who could play in Chaoge City were only limited to the Chan School and Jie School.
…
In the dead of the night, at Chentang Pass near the sea.
In the backyard of the Li Residence, Li Changshou's paper effigy and high-ranking servant, Wang Chang 'an, had already returned to his residence and was lying on the bed to sleep.
Recently, he had also obtained a new job. He was to teach Jinzha how to read.
Although he did not want to admit that he was related to Li Jing as an adoptive father and son, when he looked at Jinzha, he really felt like he was looking at his grandson.
Pui!
Remember the mission of pure Yang and stay young!
The night wind brought with it some sounds of conversation. It was Li Jing and Lady Yin talking on the bed.
Chentang Pass was at the edge of the mortal world. It was almost cut off from Chaoge City. Only the officials who would bring news from Chaoge City, as well as the military orders and government decrees, would come once every half a month.
Of course, the taxes here had to be sent to Chaoge City. Due to the long journey, the transportation team would only set off once every three years.
The foreign enemies that Chentang Pass had to face were not only bandits and barbarians, but also demonic beasts that often appeared.
In addition, when Chentang Pass was still Chentang Town, there were many human Qi Refinement cultivators who stayed there. Although their standards were not high, they did have some superficial Qi Refinement techniques.
Lady Yin was originally from an ordinary noble family in Great Yin City. She did not know anything about cultivation. However, with Li Jing's help, she had already become a Qi Refinement cultivator. Apart from increasing her lifespan, she was also young, but she had a mature charm.
Li Jing and Lady Yin were still in love. If there were no military affairs or government affairs, they would definitely be in his house.
That was really …
Every night, they would sing and talk, and they would be drunk and dreaming. It was as if the Sun would not rise the next day.
If Li Changshou's Wind Speech Incantation could not be put away in time at night, he would always blush and feel rather awkward.
Mu Zha was already on the way.
Tonight, Madame Yin said softly, "Alas, when will the chaos in Zhaoge City come to an end? It has already spread to the army."
"The Eldest Prince is unconvinced. It's a little far-fetched for the Third Prince to obtain the throne. They have the same mother and father, but because they were born at different times, one is a minister and the other is a ruler …"
Li Jing sighed softly and smiled. "Madam, let's not worry about that. The sky is high and the ruler is far away. Just guard Chentang Pass well."
"There are many relatives and friends in the clan who are officials. How can I not be worried?"
Lady Yin asked, "Husband, you are an immortal. Do you know if there are really immortals causing trouble in Chaoge City?"
"Of course there are. However, they are all hiding in the dark. It's not convenient to say," Li Jing said in a low voice. "Madam, you also know that our godfather is a top existence among immortals.
He had set the rule long ago that immortals and mortals were separated. Immortals could not interfere with mortals, and mortal monarchs could not seek immortals.
The ancestral teachings of the Shang Nation are the same. Previously, the King begged the ancestors of the Shang Nation to bring him away. He also violated a taboo and suffered a few nightmares because of that. "
"Husband, how long do you think the King can last?"
"That's hard to say, but Madam." Li Jing chuckled. "If we don't take off our clothes and sleep, I won't be able to hold on."
Li Changshou had determined that the television station would not allow it to be broadcasted.
The Wind Speech Incantation was temporarily deactivated. Just as Li Changshou was about to shift his attention away, he suddenly sensed a stream of light flying over from the sky.
After sensing carefully, he realized that the immortals of Chan School were inside the stream of light.
Wen Shu?
You want to take Jinzha away?
It's so late at night. Aren't you afraid of disturbing the couple's love?
Li Changshou turned around and sat up. He wondered if he should remind Jie School. Wen Shu had already changed to riding a cloud and slowly landed in the military headquarters.
Wen Shu also had a middle-aged face. He was dressed in an exquisite gray Daoist robe, and elegant Dao runes were wrapped around him. At that moment, he smiled and looked very friendly.
Hundreds of feet above the ground, Wen Shu stopped the cloud and his voice spread throughout the Li Residence.
"Is Nephew Li Jing at home?"
In the backyard of the Li Residence, Lady Yin hurriedly buttoned up her half-untied dress. Li Jing hurriedly put on his armor. When he was done packing, he closed the layers of barriers around the house and left together.
He was in a sorry state.
