Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1771: The two factions finally became strangers, the minister of Jiuxiao

Therefore, under the circumstances of fear, the two families can only sit at the negotiation table to solve the problem and coexist under the Great Xia court. For the time being, no one dares to go to war easily.

Especially for Daxia, being able to hide and secretly seize back power once does not mean that if it fails this time, there will be a second chance.

Although Daxia relied on this wave of desperate counterattacks to give the original puppet emperor power, he still had a powerful minister under him who was equivalent to a king.

Although I couldn't bear to see it at this time, I still had to endure it.

The Dugu clan was originally the weakest among the four major clans. In fact, it has never had as big ambitions as the others.

In fact, the only ones who have been truly ambitious have always been the imperial family.

In other words, their status forced them to be ambitious. If they did not go further, what awaited them was an abyss.

When one's power becomes as strong as that of a country, one must either go further or die without a burial place.

The Li family also has some ambitions, but if nothing unexpected happens in Daxia, they may not do anything. If an opportunity arises, they will take advantage of it and will not give up such an opportunity.

As for the Cao Clan and the Dugu Clan, they were not very interested in the throne. After all, not everyone was vying to be the emperor.

However, the situation forced them to support a puppet in order to survive, just like the Di and Li families did, and grope forward in this chaotic world.

Moreover, in the turbulent situation of Daxia, the Dugu clan seemed to be lacking in stamina and had the idea of ​​retreating at the height of its power.

On the other hand, the Cao clan was the opposite. They were originally as ambitious as the Dugu clan, but as their power continued to expand, their ambitions also began to grow. In other words, during this period, their ambitions found a breeding ground.

As a result, the contradiction between the Cao clan and the Dugu clan became increasingly serious.

Originally, the status of the two companies was not much different, but now one company's ambition has grown, and it is eager to keep moving forward, while the other company wants to retreat. In this way, if things continue to develop, one company will definitely become the boss, and the other company will have to be a subordinate.

At this time, the relationship between the Cao clan and the Dugu clan was like that between the four generals' clans in Da Cang. The strength between them was almost the same, and the gap was not as big as that between the Di clan.

In this case, the person who was originally at the same level as you now wants you to stand below him and submit to him. Can you understand this all at once and be willing to do it?

Besides, even if you want to be a younger brother, when choosing a boss, why not choose a stronger boss? This way, you will have a greater chance of having the last laugh from behind!
Choosing someone who is almost as capable as you to be your boss, isn't that a complete injustice?
Therefore, with the intervention of some external forces, the two major families eventually parted ways!
Even if the Dugu clan wanted to emulate the boss, they naturally would not choose the Li clan or the Cao clan who were about the same size as themselves. Instead, they chose the Di clan whose strength far exceeded theirs.

The sudden loss of such a powerful ally, coupled with the attack from external forces when the Cao clan was weak, severely damaged the clan and fell into its weakest situation.

It was at this time that the remnants of the Great Xia court, which had been hiding, took advantage of this opportunity to launch a fierce battle for power.

In order to increase the chances of victory, the Great Xia Dynasty's desperate counterattack was indeed a desperate attempt. The forces hidden in several other clans were withdrawn one after another and all transferred to the Cao clan.

The Long family put all their resources at risk and finally overwhelmed the Cao family, allowing the imperial power to return to the hands of the Long family. At least, that was the case in the small court formed by the Cao family.

The imperial clan was happy with the fight between Long and Cao. When both sides were defeated, they would just sit back and reap the benefits. Moreover, when the two sides were fighting each other, they could also spare their energy to continue to pay attention to the Great Chu Dynasty.

However, the Li family was not happy.

If they continue to hurt themselves, the Li family alone will not be able to fight against the Di family.

Only then did they pretend that a large army was approaching, using external pressure to force the two families to temporarily put aside their dispute.

The imperial family, realizing that they could no longer watch the show, officially began preparations for ascending the throne and establishing a dynasty.

Originally, Emperor Zhiling supported a child as his puppet. However, this child was obviously not destined to be the emperor. He died of illness after only two years as emperor.

Sometimes, it’s just so helpless!

After all, in feudal society where medical and health care was underdeveloped, the survival rate of children was indeed a problem.

For wealthy and powerful families, the mortality rate can be reduced through various means such as hiring a doctor at birth, hiring a wet nurse, and having a special nanny to take care of the baby when the baby is growing up, but it is only a reduction.

You know, in the Qing Dynasty, even the royal family with the best conditions and the best treatment could not guarantee that the princes and princesses would live to adulthood, and more than half of the princes and princesses died young.

From Shunzhi, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, to Xuantong, who abdicated, there were a total of 10 emperors in the Qing Dynasty. Tongzhi and Guangxu had no descendants. Xuantong ascended the throne at the age of three and abdicated at the age of six. Although he had no children in the end, he was not counted. The remaining 7 emperors gave birth to a total of 146 princes and princesses. Among these 146, 74 died before the age of 15.

Therefore, Emperor Zhiling could only find another incompetent person from the royal family, make him the stepson of the empress dowager, and let him ascend the throne to serve as a puppet.

But it can only be said that he made a wrong move. Before he even used Emperor Zhiling's power, this guy made a mistake by actually trying to rape his own mother.

Although this one was only a stepson, adopted by the Queen Mother from the royal bloodline, and although the Queen Mother was only a few years older than him, but, at least in name, they were mother and son.

Sometimes, some people are blessed by God. When they are sleepy, God gives them a pillow. He doesn't even need to usurp the throne himself, the throne almost falls into his hands directly.

This time, Emperor Zhiling found the most favorable reason for himself to ascend the throne.

Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, the dragon and the emperor have coexisted with each other. The Great Xia Taizu at that time once left a will for the emperor, stating that if any of the younger generation of the Great Xia were incompetent in the future, the emperor's descendants could replace them.

In fact, Taizu of Daxia made such a will in order to leave a sharp sword hanging over his head for his descendants, so that they would be prepared for danger in times of peace and serve as a reminder.

No matter what, when the Great Xia Dynasty was founded, if it were not for the fact that Emperor Yi preferred beauties to the country, and Taizu of Great Xia was a person who could give up everything for the country, these two men would not only have supported each other in establishing the Great Xia Dynasty, but I'm afraid that the two brothers would have already started fighting with each other.

If this really happened, even Taizu of Daxia would not have much confidence in defeating Di Yi.

Therefore, since such a powerful internal legacy of the imperial family has been left over since the founding of the dynasty, and Taizu of Daxia was unable to solve it, he could only use it to urge future generations, hoping that they could solve this problem.

Only when this knife is really placed on the necks of future generations will they rack their brains to solve this problem. However, the imperial family is still strong today. Even for this reason, the Cao family, which also existed at the founding of the country, was supported, and subsequent emperors successively supported the Li family and the Dugu family, but they still could not shake the imperial family.

And today, hundreds of years later, this legacy has become Emperor Zhiling's sharpest knife.

This gave him enough reputation for righteousness and successfully transferred the throne from the Long family to the imperial family.

Therefore, the emperor announced his rise to power to the world in Anyi, the capital of Xia, and changed the era name to emperor, established the country's name as Xiao, changed Anyi to Kaiping, and made Kaiping the capital, meaning to usher in eternal peace.

The Yin-Yang School mainly carried out its activities within the Xia and Wei dynasties. Although they had little market share in the other dynasties, they still had some influence at least within these two dynasties.

The Yin-Yang School's theory of the Five Elements has a certain process in Daxia.

Xia was the virtue of gold, and gold gave birth to water, so his next dynasty should be the virtue of water.

The word "Xiao" not only means the virtue of water, but also echoes the meaning of "Ling" in Emperor Zhiling's name. Moreover, this name is the most authentic portrayal of Emperor Zhiling's ambition to soar above the nine heavens. Therefore, he chose "Xiao" as the name of the country. Moreover, the word "Xiao" also comes from Emperor Zhiling's respect for the God of Creation.

Great sky.

Anyi, the former capital of the Xia Dynasty, is now Kaiping, the capital of the heavens.

The coronation ceremony was held as scheduled.

At an auspicious time in the early morning, civil and military officials and envoys from various countries gathered at the Temple of Heaven in the imperial capital.

In Kaiping, hundreds of thousands of people came here, and at the same time, teams from all over Daxiao came to watch the ceremony and worship. At one time, millions of people gathered in a radius of more than ten miles to watch the ceremony and worship. There were loud gongs and drums, firecrackers, colorful flags, and huge crowds of people.

The people gathered here spontaneously, heralding the beginning of the prosperity of the Daxiao Dynasty.

The sun as big as a basin in the sky was overjoyed. His spherical tiger body shook violently and emitted the warmest light of spring.

Around the Temple of Heaven, 100,000 Xiaojun soldiers guarded the temple, and 50,000 Xiaojun soldiers were on guard on both sides of the road from the Temple of Heaven to Kaiping. The mighty soldiers were all wearing bright armor, with swords and spears in their hands shining like a forest. They were full of vigor and showed the prosperity of Daxiao's military fortune to the world.

Amid the sound of bells and drums, Emperor Zhiling appeared.

Emperor Zhiling wore a golden crown with twelve jade tassels hanging down in front of it, covering most of his face. He was wearing a black imperial robe and holding a jade disk in his hand. He exuded an imperial majesty that was awe-inspiring.

At the hour of Mao, Emperor Zhiling had already left the palace, with hundreds of officials surrounding the emperor's sedan chair, a ceremonial guard of several thousand people, and canopies and flags stretching for more than ten miles on the official road, with no end in sight. Wherever he passed, the soldiers and civilians of the Xiao army bowed to the ground like waves, shouting "Long live the emperor".

Emperor Zhiling seemed to enjoy this scene very much, so he did not walk fast along the way. Only now did he finally arrive at the Temple of Heaven where he ascended the throne.

The drums stopped beating, and all the officials in front of the Temple of Heaven knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Zhiling.

Emperor Zhiling stood at the highest point of the Temple of Heaven, accepting the worship of all officials and people.

The first step is to worship heaven and earth.

Including the pedestal, the Temple of Heaven is nearly tens of meters tall and is extremely magnificent, unprecedented in history.

Emperor Zhiling walked through the Dan Bridge in front of the main hall and entered the altar of heaven on one side of the hall. When he arrived at the altar, the civil and military officials and the emcee walked quickly and entered the altar from the steps on both sides of the Dan Bridge.

At this time, 128 talented young men wearing Confucian robes and holding feather fans came to the left side of the square in front of the main hall and lined up.

At the same time, the sound of footsteps was heard, and one hundred and twenty-eight burly warriors in refined armor, holding mountain-splitting axes in their right hands and tiger-patterned shields in their left hands, lined up on the right side of the square in front of the hall.

There are eight rows in both directions.

The man with feather fan and scholar robe represents the flourishing culture and talent of the Daxiao Dynasty.

The warriors represent all the soldiers of the Daxiao Army, following the mighty and majestic posture of His Majesty the Emperor Di Zhiling to conquer the world.

Taken together, it means that the Daxiao Dynasty is walking on two legs and is bearing fruit in both the civil and military fields.

On both sides of the altar of heaven are the shrines of the gods, divided into seven groups according to their subordinate relationships. Each group has a green curtain to form a shrine, with a total of six groups on both sides, with three groups on each side.

The group guarding the middle has the main seat: the first one is the tablet of the Emperor of Heaven, and on both sides are the tablets of the secondary gods, such as the tablets of the gods who control the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, etc.

Before the tablet of each god, there are three kinds of animals, fine wine, fresh fruits, delicacies and other large offerings. The number of ritual vessels for storing the sacrificial offerings alone is more than a thousand.

There is a huge sandalwood tripod in the southwest of the altar, and a fire pillar sky lantern in the southeast.

Among them, the sandalwood turned into mist, covering the entire altar like misty clouds. When the candlelight flickered, it gave people a sense of mystery.

In front of the altar, Emperor Zhiling folded his hands in front of his chest, with his thumbs facing each other, and bowed solemnly on the golden cushion in the middle.

At this time, Bai Luodi, the master of ceremonies, knelt down and presented the incense stick.

Originally, with Bai Luodi's status, there was no need for him to do such hard work as the master of ceremonies himself, but Emperor Zhiling had come to this point, and most of it was his hard work. Therefore, he had to personally preside over Emperor Zhiling's coronation ceremony, which was his way of checking the answer he had given himself.

Bai Luodi has always made outstanding contributions under Di Zhiling, and he has been the driving force behind most of the progress along the way.

Precisely because he was too dazzling, Huang Qiudao made his move in Da Chu and designed a plan that almost killed most of the younger generation of Da Chu’s military. Later, after the unexpected surprise of Xiang Yu appeared, he used Xiang Yu as a chess piece to stir up the situation in Da Chu.

When Huang Qiudao made an effort, Bai Luodi refused to show weakness. Together with Cai He, another of the Seven Great Confucianists, he eventually contributed to the establishment of the Dugu clan.

Among Emperor Zhiling's ministers who assisted Jiuxiao, Bai Luodi directly took the first place and became Jiuxiao's chief minister.
