In the Right Spring Square.
Su Qin sat cross-legged, his thoughts fluctuating.
"After entering the 6th Heavenly Layer, with my current cultivation speed, I can enter the 7th Heavenly Layer in at most ten years."
Grab, grab, grab. Su Qin thought leisurely.
Whether it's Venerable Arhat or a Legend, once they reach the 7th Heavenly Layer, it means that they have truly set foot on the peak of this realm.
"After the 7th Heavenly Layer, my cultivation speed will inevitably slow down again. Maybe I should prepare for the future?"
Su Qin's eyes were deep.
When he first entered the realm of Venerable Arhat, he felt that his cultivation speed was not as fast as before. If it weren't for the Glazed Golden Core and other Holy Pills from the Bodhi Court in time, Su Qin would still be wandering around the 1st and 2nd Heavenly Layer, and at most, he would start to touch the 3rd Heavenly Layer.
After coming to the Imperial Palace, Su Qin received Innate Spirit Liquid, Blood Bodhi, Vermilion Fruit, and other Spirit Liquids and Spirit Fruits, which once again increased his cultivation speed. In this way, he could reach the 5th Heavenly Layer in just over ten years.
Su Qin can already imagine that when he becomes the 7th Heavenly Layer Arhat, whether it's Innate Spirit Liquid or Blood Bodhi Vermilion Fruit, the effect on him will definitely be greatly reduced.
This is not to say that Innate Spirit Liquid and Blood Bodhi Vermilion Fruit are not good, but Su Qin's level has increased.
When you have ten copper coins, every ten copper coins increase your wealth will double, and you will be overjoyed.
But when you have ten thousand copper coins, if you increase your wealth by ten copper coins, I'm afraid you won't notice it if you're not careful.
In the following time, Su Qin continued to enter the state of Signing In and Cultivating. In addition, he would occasionally give advice to Li Wan.
And during this period.
The Emperor of Tang finally integrated the fiefdoms of the ten kings and firmly held these fiefdoms in his hands.
At this time, The Emperor of Tang finally fell into a daze, not knowing whether to continue to implement the 'Order of Pushing Grace'.
When the Ten Kings still existed, The Emperor of Tang needed to push the Edict of Grace to provoke the disciples of the Kings to be hostile to each other.
But now, even the top ten fiefdoms had fallen into the hands of The Emperor of Tang. They had completely returned to the control of the Empire of Tang. Was there still a need to continue implementing the Order of Pushing Grace?
The Emperor of Tang tossed and turned in bed for several nights before he finally ran out of the Right Spring Square with a wine pot in his hand.
"Third Brother."
The Emperor of Tang waved his hand and shouted.
Su Qin walked out of the Right Spring Square and glanced at The Emperor of Tang. He immediately knew what had happened.
"Third Brother."
"What do you think I should do?"
The Emperor of Tang and Su Qin sat facing each other and told Su Qin about the difficulties they had encountered.
"Who do you plan to give the top ten fiefdoms to in the future?" Su Qin did not answer The Emperor of Tang's question first. Instead, he asked.
"Who do you want to give the top ten fiefdoms to?"
The Emperor of Tang was lost in thought.
Indeed.
This problem really needed to be considered.
The top ten fiefdoms were located at the border of the Empire of Tang. The purpose of their establishment was to resist the invasion of other countries. It was impossible for there to be no one in charge of the overall situation for such a long time.
The Emperor of Tang thought for a long time and looked at Su Qin and asked tentatively, "I plan to choose a few disciples of the royal family to manage them."
"Disciples of the royal family?" Su Qin smiled and said casually, "Aren't you afraid that they will also rebel one day?"
As soon as he said this.
The Emperor of Tang's expression changed.
Since the establishment of the Empire of Tang, there had been a rule that no disciple of the royal family was allowed to hold military power.
The purpose of establishing this rule was to prevent internal strife in the royal family.
If The Emperor of Tang really took the initiative to hand over the top ten fiefdoms to the disciples of the royal family, he was afraid that he would be the second vassal king …
"Then I will send a few loyal subjects to manage them." The Emperor of Tang was silent for a long time this time and said.
"Subjects?"
"Loyal and devoted?"
Su Qin shook his head and said lightly, "How long can you guarantee their loyalty? Ten years? Twenty years? Or thirty years? "
"Even if the subjects you send are loyal for a lifetime, what about their next generation? How can they be loyal to the fiefdoms? "
The Emperor of Tang heard this and frowned.
"Then I will order that the position of vassal king cannot be inherited through father and son?"
The Emperor of Tang said in a deep voice.
Su Qin raised his head slightly and looked out of the Right Spring Square. "People are selfish. If they have a rich life, of course, they hope that their descendants will have a rich life …"
"I see."
"I think too much."
After a long time, The Emperor of Tang sighed softly. "If we look at the long term, no one can compare to the Third Brother."
The Emperor of Tang looked at Su Qin with eyes full of sincere admiration.
Whether it was him or the civil and military officials, they only saw the current The Empire of Tang, but Su Qin saw the Empire of Tang thousands of years later.
"Third Brother, do you want to enter the court as an official? As long as you are willing, the position of Prime Minister will be yours, Third Brother. "
The Emperor of Tang thought of something and said seriously.
The power of the Prime Minister was so great that it could even replace the Emperor to exercise the imperial power. As early as two hundred years ago, it was abolished by The Emperor of Tang.
However, The Emperor of Tang was willing to reestablish the position of Prime Minister for Su Qin, which showed how much he valued Su Qin.
"There's no need."
"I'm used to being an idle person."
Su Qin refused without even thinking about it.
If he was interested in power, would he have stayed in the palace for more than ten years with the strength of Venerable Arhat?
"Since Third Brother is unwilling, then forget it."
The Emperor of Tang sighed softly, as if he had expected it.
Over the years, it was not the first time that The Emperor of Tang had invited Su Qin, but every time, he was refused without hesitation.
Sometimes, The Emperor of Tang really wondered if Su Qin was the kind of Saint who valued power over nothing.
Except for Saints, who could resist the temptation of being the Prime Minister?
The two chatted for a while and soon talked about Chang 'an, the ancient capital of the ten dynasties.
"Speaking of which, The Empire of Tang has been passed down for more than five hundred years. When Taizu accidentally established The Empire of Tang, I'm afraid he didn't expect it to exist for so long …"
The Emperor of Tang shook his head and sighed.
"Accident?"
"Yes." Su Qin raised his eyebrows and looked at The Emperor of Tang. "What accident?"
"I forgot, Third Brother, you don't know about this …" The Emperor of Tang saw Su Qin's reaction and immediately said, "I don't know if it's true or not. It's all from the mouth of the old people in the palace. There aren't even any relevant books."
When Emperor Li Sheng said this, he paused for a while and lowered his voice: "I heard that the Great Ancestor never thought of establishing a country at all …"
"Never thought of establishing a country?"
Su Qin's thoughts fluctuated. He vaguely felt that he was about to come into contact with a big secret.
In fact, as early as when Su Qin learned that Taizu of The Empire of Tang was a Martial Arts Legend, there was a doubt in his mind.
Why would a Martial Arts Legend want to establish a country?
For his descendants?
If Taizu of The Empire of Tang really wanted his descendants to pass down the legacy for generations, he would never choose to establish a country. Instead, he would establish a family or simply a martial arts sect in the world.
A century-old empire, a thousand-year-old family.
Throughout history, almost no dynasty had lasted for more than a thousand years, but often some families had lasted for more than a thousand years.
And a martial arts sect like the Shaolin Temple had been passed down for thousands of years.
If Taizu of The Empire of Tang had been the emperor at the beginning, then it would be fine. But The Empire of Tang's Taizu had clearly established The Empire of Tang after becoming a Martial Arts Legend.
Just as Su Qin was thinking.
The Emperor of Tang's voice slowly came. "It is said that the reason why Taizu established The Empire of Tang was because he discovered a secret in Chang 'an …"
