The ancestral temple was brightly lit with rows of oil lamps. The memorial tablets on the altar made the hall feel gloomy.
The Yan Emperor Shang Jianxiong stood in front of the memorial tablets of the Shang Clan's ancestors and stared at them. His expression was dignified and his eyes were complicated. He was praying to the ancestors in his heart.
He was surprised when he heard about the battle between Zhao and Yan. He did not expect Zhao to be defeated so quickly. After all, they still had millions of troops. But in the end, Zhao's neck was strangled in just one battle. Zhao's destruction was imminent. Yan actually forced Zhao into a desperate situation and forced it to the brink of annihilation!
If it was one or two years ago, he would not have dared to imagine such a situation. At that time, it was Yan's unstable situation that made him unable to eat or sleep well.
Although presiding over the battle of Zhao had nothing to do with him, he was still the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom. Under his rule, the Yan Kingdom once again achieved great feats. Today, he was here to tell his ancestors about this.
In short, the Yan Kingdom destroyed the Zhao Kingdom in his hands!
The Chief of the Imperial Household, Tian Yu, walked into the hall and softly said, "Your Majesty, it's late. Let's rest."
Shang Jianxiong, who was staring at the memorial tablets, suddenly said, "Tian Yu, the merit of expanding the territory, something that TaiShu Xiong always wanted to do but could not do, I have done it!"
From what he said, it seemed that he was stronger than TaiShu Xiong!
Even though he was a personal servant, Tian Yu could not help but twitch his mouth when he heard this. He realized that this person really dared to say such words. He could not help but think, Does the merit of destroying Zhao have anything to do with you?
He even dared to guarantee that as long as there was a chance to stop the rise of Shang Chaozong, this person would rather give up the merit of destroying Zhao and drag Shang Chaozong down.
However, he also deeply understood that this was a difficult time. This Emperor really needed a self-affirmation.
Furthermore, the situation had changed very quickly. The repercussions of Niu Youdao forcing Tong Mo to death had yet to pass, and the expansion of the Shang faction's influence had pressured the Emperor to the point where he couldn't even breathe. This Emperor was furious, but he didn't dare to say anything. Just as he was feeling extremely vexed, the situation suddenly changed!
When the news that Shang Chaozong gathered his army and publicly fell out with the three main sects, this made this side overjoyed.
Everyone knew that the three main sects would not allow Shang Chaozong to continue being arrogant. It was not hard to imagine what would happen after the battle.
This side did not do anything and the situation was turned around in an instant. This was something that no of them had expected.
…
At this moment, of sword of sword of the Yan and Zhao, TaiShu Xiong, Shang Jianxiong.
Of sword of sword of sword of sword of sword. This matter made him inexplicably excited, because it proved that the stalemate between the various countries for many years was not impossible to change. In an instant, the blood in his heart was ignited. He longed and looked forward to dancing with his sword to liven things up and show off his heroic spirit!
"Your Majesty, the Headmaster of the Sect is here." Chief Supervisor of the Inner Palace Tao Lue suddenly came to report.
Hearing that the Headmaster of the Cloud Equipment Sect, TaiShu Feihua, had come personally, TaiShu Xiong immediately put away his interest. He did not dare to delay and rushed to welcome him.
Before he could go down, a figure flashed and landed on top of the pavilion. It was TaiShu Feihua.
TaiShu Xiong immediately cupped his fists and greeted, "Eldest Uncle!"
Tao Lue also bowed.
TaiShu Feihua grunted and glanced at the sword in his hand. He said calmly, "Cultivating? Ah Xiong, no one can be good at everything. You just need to focus on the affairs of the Jin Nation. There will naturally be people to take care of the other matters. "
TaiShu Xiong smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that the other had misunderstood. However, he still obediently acknowledged. After throwing the sword to Tao Lue, he asked, "Eldest Uncle, is there something urgent for you to come here at this time?"
"It's nothing urgent." TaiShu Feihua asked him, "I heard that the three major sects of the Zhao Nation have gathered almost all of their forces to defend against the enemy. Is that true?"
TaiShu Xiong wondered why he was asking about this. He replied, "According to the intelligence of the Black Water Platform, that should be the case. However, it's not completely empty. There are still some cultivators defending it. Eldest Uncle personally asking about this, could it be that you have some plans for the Zhao Nation Palace? "
TaiShu Feihua did not deny it. "Ah Xiong, in order to prepare you for the battle, the sect is tight on funds. You know this."
TaiShu Xiong hurriedly said, "I'm useless."
TaiShu Feihua said, "Don't say these useless things. What your uncles mean is that the Zhao Nation Palace is a good opportunity to take action. Not to mention anything else, as long as they can get their hands on the Zhao Nation's national treasure, they will be able to sell it for a good price. "
TaiShu Xiong was shocked. He said, "Could it be that Eldest Uncle wants to snatch the Zhao Nation Palace?"
TaiShu Feihua said, "You have to take action as soon as possible. If you're late, others might beat you to it. You don't have to worry about this. The sect will take care of it. Your Black Water Platform's net is in the capital of the Zhao Nation. What you need to do is use that net to scout out the early stages of the sect's actions. After all, no one from the sect has entered the Zhao Nation Palace before. "
TaiShu Xiong hesitated. "Eldest Uncle, the Black Water Platform might not be able to scout out the situation inside the Zhao Nation Palace. Just like this palace, even I don't dare to say that I know the situation inside the palace like the back of my hand. Also, because the three major sects of the Zhao Nation have mobilized a large amount of their forces, the security inside the Zhao Nation Palace will only be more cautious. Hiding and the like will probably be unavoidable. I'm afraid that we might not be able to plunder anything. "
TaiShu Feihua said, "You only need to use the Black Water Platform to lock onto Hai Wuji's position. As long as you can find Hai Wuji, if the three major sects of the Song Nation can do it, there's no reason that the Jin Nation can't."
…
Under the soaring eaves, Hao Yun Tu looked up at the morning stars with his hands behind his back. Occasionally, he would sigh.
The Empress walked over with a robe in her hands and personally draped it over him. She probed, "What made Your Majesty so emotional?"
Hao Yun Tu sighed. "I'm afraid that the Zhao Nation is finished."
The Empress was puzzled. "After the Waning Moon Pavilion raised their troops, wasn't it expected that the Zhao Nation would be destroyed?"
Hao Yun Tu shook his head. "You don't understand. Since the fall of the Qin Nation, the seven nations have been in a stalemate for a full three hundred years. Once the Zhao Nation falls, the situation that hasn't changed in these three hundred years has been stirred up. This also means that there has been a change in the structure of the great interests. This is not a good sign."
The Empress probed, "In other words, Your Majesty doesn't want the Zhao Nation to be destroyed?"
Hao Yun Tu raised his hand and caressed her cheek with the back of his finger. "The Zhao Nation's rivers and mountains are like beauties. You can't have them, but you don't want to watch others take them. If you want to sleep, it's best to sleep with them."
"How can you use such an analogy?" The Empress scoffed. Of course, she understood what the Emperor meant. What the Qi Nation couldn't have, they naturally didn't want others to have.
However, she enjoyed being treated like this by him. She grabbed his hand as if she wanted to share his burden. "Since Your Majesty doesn't want the Zhao Nation to be destroyed, is there no way to help the Zhao Nation?"
Hao Yun Tu: "Yan has obtained a favorable attacking environment and has no worries. No one can persuade him. He is unwilling to give up the fat piece of meat that is the Zhao Nation. Anyway, the Waning Moon Pavilion is blocking the Qi Nation and the Wei Nation in the west. I don't know what happened to the Waning Moon Pavilion. Facing the threat of the Qi Nation and the Wei Nation, they are determined to destroy the Zhao Nation. Most importantly … no one expected that the Zhao Nation would be defeated so quickly. Now, even if someone wants to help the Zhao Nation, there is nothing they can do. The Zhao Army won't be able to last until the reinforcements arrive. "
"Unless the Misty Pavilion takes action, but this is almost impossible. Or the other nations can join forces and gather their top cultivators and experts to rush there. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope. However, the Han Nation and the Song Nation are too busy to help. The Qi Nation and the Wei Nation want to help, but the other nations are in such a mess. The Jin Nation is probably like a wolf that smelled the scent of blood. I'm afraid they can't wait for the Qi Nation and the Wei Nation to be delayed so that they can pounce on them from the back. "
"Furthermore, the premise of the Qi Nation and the Wei Nation's help is that the Zhao Nation has the ability to resist the enemy. Do they still have the ability to resist now? The journey is long. Even if the Qi Nation sends their troops, the water from afar will not be able to put out the fire nearby. Even if the Qi Nation and the Wei Nation send some experts, it will not be able to change the entire situation. "
…
In Tianwei Residence, under the moonlight, Xuan Wei and Ximen Qingkong wandered side by side.
Looking at her face that was emitting a hazy radiance under the moonlight, Ximen Qingkong really wanted to hug her and want to have her.
However, Xuan Wei was worried about the consequences of the Zhao Nation's destruction.
The two of them abided by the bottom line and didn't dare to cross it.
However, there was someone in the palace who was extremely happy and indulged in sex.
Inside the gauze tent, Imperial Concubine Chang and the Wei Nation's Jun. Xuan Chengtian whispered intimately and enjoyed the pillow breeze.
After a while, Xuan Chengtian sighed, "Look, my royal sister has let go of some things recently. My royal sister is really not the kind of person you think. She even wants me to get used to it as soon as possible. There are so many things that I am tired out."
Imperial Concubine Chang laid on his chest and complained, "I am also thinking for His Majesty, but now it is I who is stirring up trouble. Humph, if I didn't hear some news, I wouldn't be bothered to say these annoying words. "
Xuan Chengtian was amused and poked her nose with the tip of his finger, "You stay deep in the palace. What news can you hear? Is there anything that I don't know?"
Imperial Concubine Chang said coquettishly, "There are some things that I dare not say. If I say it, I am afraid that I will make His Majesty angry."
Xuan Chengtian became more interested, "Say it. No matter what wrong you say, I will pardon you."
Imperial Concubine Chang drew circles on his chest with the tip of her finger, "No matter how magnanimous His Majesty is, I dare not say it."
Xuan Chengtian raised his hand and slapped her waist, "I ordered you to say it. Do you want to defy the imperial edict?"
Imperial Concubine Chang looked like she had no choice but to comply. In the end, she whispered in his ear, "I heard that royal sister and that Ximen Qingkong already have feelings for each other …"
After listening, Xuan Chengtian laughed, "I thought it was some secret. Just this? Who doesn't know about royal sister and that man? Do I need you to tell me? "
"Isn't His Majesty worried at all?"
"What is there to worry about? We can't let royal sister be a widow for a lifetime, right? It is a good thing to meet someone she likes, just like how I feel about you, my beloved concubine. "
"His Majesty, this matter is really different. I am just a concubine, but royal sister is the female husband who holds the military and political power of Wei Country. After royal sister and that Ximen Qingkong get together, what if they have a child? The power is in royal sister's hands. Who can guarantee that royal sister won't hand over the power of Wei Country to her own child in the future? Is royal sister willing to see her own child bowing down to others? "
"This … you think too much. Royal sister is already gradually returning the power to me."
"Is she really returning the power?"
"Can it be fake?"
"I have a way to easily find out if it's real or not. Just like what Your Majesty said, after taking over, you will feel busy and tired! But the real power shouldn't just be the work, but the people who work under you. I wonder if I am right? "
"More or less."
"This is done by Your Majesty, but who are the people who work for? They are all people promoted by royal sister. If Your Majesty wants to know if royal sister is really willing to hand over the power, you might as well use the biggest power in royal sister's hands, the military power! Your Majesty can pretend to remove the military power of Grand Commandant Nan Renyu to test royal sister's reaction. If royal sister doesn't object, then it means that I am talking too much. If she strongly objects, I dare not say what royal sister is thinking. "
