032 The Dragon and the Four Guardians
Wei Xiao was very annoyed, and he began to reflect, should he use other methods to obtain the Six Meridians Divine Sword, or should he simply give up on this unique skill?
He didn't want to be the emperor of Dali as "Duan Yanqing's son", he wanted to go back to Wuliang Mountain.
But he must have a martial arts that can compete with Tianshan Tong Lao, because he feels that Tong Lao's everlasting eternity skill is the key to his breakthrough in this world.
After returning from the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, Duan Zhengming officially started the process of passing on the throne. First, he held a ceremony to become a monk in his secluded position. He went to Tianlong Temple to be ordained as a monk, and his Buddhist name was Benchen.
Then came the grander enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, with the whole country celebrating with lights and colors everywhere.
Wei Xiao wore a dragon robe and sat on the throne. He almost sat on the dragon chair in the previous life, but this time he finally sat firmly on it.
Seeing hundreds of officials paying homage and thousands of people paying homage below, Wei Xiao felt like he was dreaming about what night it was.
I still need to get the Six Meridians Divine Sword as soon as possible, and then pass the throne to Duan Yu, and I will leave immediately!
If I issue an imperial edict and ask Tianlong Temple to donate the Six Meridians Divine Sword Sword Sutra, can Tianlong Temple agree?
Well, there is basically no possibility of agreeing. Among the monks there are two or three abdicated emperors, all of whom are uncles and grandfathers. Wei Xiao's current status is that he is the great-grandson of Zen Master Kurong. His holy book in Tianlong Temple is not worth anything at all.
, and you can't use force, otherwise the old monk will be unhappy and burn the Sword Sutra.
Forget it, let's take it one step at a time, and be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day. Since you have become the emperor of Dali, so many people are looking forward to it, so let's be the emperor first, and then slowly look for opportunities.
Since Wei Xiao decided to do a good job as emperor, he started to do things vigorously and resolutely.
If you want to do something, you must first have someone, and nothing can be done if you have no one at your disposal.
What he can use around him are the four bodyguards Duan Zhengming left for him. The four of them are loyal to the emperor and are absolutely useful.
Wei Xiao asked the four of them to recruit young people suitable for martial arts training and form a force that would obey his orders.
The martial arts of these four people are not very high, and two of them can barely defeat Yun Zhonghe if they work together. This level is embarrassingly useless.
Wei Xiao gave the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu to Chu Wanli and Gu Ducheng, and used the Nine-Yang Pill to help them reach the fifth level. He then taught Chu Wanli the Vajra Prajna Palm and Vajra Demon Subduing Fist, and taught Gu Ducheng the Vajra Giant Spirit Palm and Vajra One.
Refers to Zen.
He gave Fu Sigui and Zhu Danchen the Turtle Breathing Xuanding Kung Fu, and also used the Nine Yang Kung Fu to increase his internal strength by a dozen. He then taught Fu Sigui the Dragon Claw Hand and the Seven Injury Fist, and taught Zhu Danchen the Eagle King Grappling Hand and Peach Blossom Island's Air Splitting Palm.
.
While the four of them practiced martial arts, they recruited young bodyguards. Wei Xiao rewarded them with Nine Yang Pills and taught them martial arts based on their merits.
Gao Shengtai, the Marquis of Shanchan, was a powerful minister. The Gao family was very popular in Dali, and the people knew more about the Gao family, and even more about the Duan family. At that time, Gao Shengtai put an end to Yang Yizhen's rebellion, had the power to support the dragon, and made Duan Shouhui the emperor. Duan Shouhui discovered
The power of the Gao family was overwhelming, and he was worried all day long. After only one year as emperor, he saw through the world and abdicated the throne to his cousin Duan Zhengming, and then left.
Now that Duan Zhengming has been passed on to Wei Xiao, he has become the emperor himself, and Gao Shengtai is already considered a veteran of the Four Dynasties.
He had long discovered that Wei Xiao was unruly and would have to seize power after he ascended the throne. Therefore, he often persuaded Duan Zhengming not to interfere with Prince Yanqing's affairs. He was the king of Dali, not to mention in his prime. Even if the throne was to be passed on in the future, he had to pass on his bloodline.
Duan Zhengchun and Duan Yu, who are more recent, cannot pass it on to Wei Xiao, but if Duan Zhengming refuses to listen, he must pass it on to Wei Xiao.
Wei Xiao still practiced most of the time every day, and used his spare time to deal with government affairs. Most of the affairs were left to the Third Duke of Dali. The Third Duke noticed the subtle relationship between Gao Shengtai and him, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain everything to both sides.
and.
Wei Xiao remembered that in history, Gao Shengtai took away the power of the Duan family and became the emperor himself, but before his death, he said that he would return the throne to the Duan family so that his descendants could no longer imitate him.
In fact, Wei Xiao didn't pay much attention to Gao Shengtai. If he wanted to kill Gao Shengtai, no one could stop him.
He just wanted to leave Duan Yu in a better situation.
Speaking of Duan Yu, this guy is really not someone who can govern a country. In addition to practicing Buddhism every day, he either reads books by himself, finds others to play chess, drinks tea and chats, or hangs around, visiting the homes of ministers, businessmen, and landlords for tastings.
The camellias they grew.
Duan Yu loved camellias. He planted many camellias in his own garden and cultivated various famous products.
Wei Xiao gave him the title of Chief Clerk of Imperial Clerical Affairs and asked him to come to the palace to work every day.
This official function was created by Wei Xiao. Duan Yu was responsible for sorting out the memorials, classifying them, and then reading them to himself. Then he wrote his comments on the bottom with a red pen, stamped them with God's seal, and sent them back in envelopes.
.
Wei Xiao also formed a cabinet, which included the three Dukes of Dali and three ministers. Situ Huahegen was the chief minister, Sima Fanhua was the left prime minister, and Sikong Batianshi was the right prime minister. State affairs came to the cabinet in advance, and the cabinet gave
The opinions are submitted to the emperor for approval. After the emperor approves, he sends them out for implementation. If the emperor disagrees, he will send them back to the cabinet to draft them again.
Duan Yu was not interested in state affairs and was very dissatisfied when he forced him to come to work every day: "Brother Emperor, why do you want me to do this? I will not be the emperor in the future, and you still ask my opinion on everything.
…”
"I am the emperor, and you can do whatever I ask you to do. Do you dare to resist?" Wei Xiao's expression was serious.
"Don't you dare..." Duan Yu was a little frightened by him, "Brother, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Then you should read these memorials and write down your opinions on paper. You will have one hour to finish them and show them to me." After Wei Xiao finished speaking, regardless of whether Duan Yu agreed or not, he turned around and entered the inner hall.
Go to the couch and sit cross-legged to meditate and practice your true energy.
After several days of this, Chu Wanli and others came to report that the Four Heavenly Dragon Guards had been formed.
Wei Xiao asked them to call everyone to the palace and gather them in the courtyard. He formed the Tianlong Four Guards with a total of 800 people. They were all young men in their twenties. They had all taken the Nine Yang Pill, and their internal strength was far beyond that of ordinary people in the world.
, but the actual combat experience is still too poor.
Wei Xiao decided to take them out to practice: "Follow me to Wuliang Mountain!"
The emperor of Dali often went out of the city in casual clothes, which did not cause any commotion. However, eight hundred young men in brocade clothes rode out of the city on horseback, which caused the people to talk a lot and wonder what happened.
Wei Xiao led people to the foot of Wuliang Mountain: "Chu Wanli, Gu Ducheng, you lead people to block all the roads going down the mountain. No one is allowed to go out! The rest of you follow me up the mountain!"
He left four hundred people at the foot of the mountain and took the other half up the mountain quickly. Along the way, he saw people from the Wuliang Sword Sect. He caught one and tied them up with ropes and killed them all the way to Jianhu Palace.
Sikong Xuan dared to attack him with a poisonous blade. Wei Xiao never trusted Zuo Zimu and Xin Shuangqing. After he became emperor, he sent people to investigate and learned that Zuo Zimu and Xin Shuangqing no longer recognized Xingxu Laoxian as their master.
Moreover, they and Sikong
Xuan teamed up to do something that was extremely against the will of Old Immortal Xingxiu. Sikong Xuan died in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations. They didn't know whose hands he died in, but they were also a little panicked. They had already carved up Sikong Xuan's Southern Sect power.
