Origin

Hearing the old blind man's words, Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. What the old blind man said was indeed true. In the past thousands of years, as the seal gradually loosened, the four mythical beasts aged day by day, and the sealed gods, ghosts and demons ran out. A lot of things happened. Previously, the battle at Luoshan severely damaged the remnants of the Demon Clan, and the Battle at East China Sea severely damaged the God Clan. But today’s battle almost completely wiped out the four remnants who took advantage of the situation. This is very serious for the human race. It's beneficial. At least in the next few months, I can prepare for war with peace of mind. I don't have to worry about the Four Paths secretly causing chaos and waiting for opportunities to destroy. "Sir, in your opinion, were the gods involved in what happened today?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. The old blind man thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Probably not. Those who support Wu Shang and Wu Shaojun should all be monsters. The reason why they are called gods is to bluff and frame blame." "I think so too," Wu Zhongyuan Said, "Although the Gods are enemies with us, they think too highly of themselves and disdain to join forces with the other three realms." "The Holy Ming," the old blind man nodded and said, changing the subject, "During the time when the Holy Clan left the court, Wei Wei In order to stabilize the overall situation, I have overstepped my authority and made many decisions. I also accepted many requests to borrow the Hunyuan Cauldron..." Before the old blind man could finish speaking, Wu Zhongyuan interrupted him, "As long as he is not humiliated. Regarding the national system, I will not change any decision made by Mr., and we will fulfill all the things Mr. promised." Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, the old blind man felt relieved, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly bowed to thank him. It is not easy to be the second in command. Yes, although the second-in-command makes the decision when the boss is away, the decision must adhere to the boss's governing philosophy. If it goes against the grain, the boss will correct it when he returns. In addition to thanking Wu Zhongyuan for his trust and respect, the old blind man was also a little frightened, because although Wu Zhongyuan would not change the decisions he made during this period, the promise he made had a premise, that is, the country should not be insulted. The reason why Wu Zhongyuan In addition to such a premise, it was undoubtedly because he and Wu Di took the initiative that day and tried to induce him to kill Jiang Zheng and Li Tai. Wu Zhongyuan has always been worried about this matter. "Sir, how is the farming situation this year?" Wu Zhongyuan is most concerned about the food issue. The old blind man said, "Thanks to the great blessings of the Holy Spirit, the weather has been good this year. One hundred days of rice and purple sweet potatoes have been harvested for one season. The growth of common millet is also very good. Although some fields in Yuancheng were burned and destroyed by the enemy, the losses were not great." , each walled city, city, and besieged city currently has caves to store grain. According to Wei Chen's estimation, in the autumn and winter, the grain storage in the Central Plains should be enough for the Sifang Camp to consume for two years." "Sir, during my absence, Thank you for your hard work." Wu Zhongyuan said. "This is a great blessing from the Holy One. All the ministries have worked hard. How can a humble minister take the credit?" said the old blind man. While the two were talking, Wan Shanhong came from a distance. Seeing Wan Shanhong, Wu Zhongyuan greeted him with a smile. Just when he was thinking about how to thank Wan Shanhong, Wan Shanhong smiled and said, "What? What do you want to say to me?" "Haha," Wu Zhongyuan laughed. He said, "I'm thinking about how to thank you. I always have to go back and forth for you, which makes me feel very uneasy." "Is it just uneasy? Is there no reward?" Wan Shanhong asked with a smile. "Whatever you want, as long as I have it, I'll give it to you." Wu Zhongyuan also smiled. Wan Shanhong curled his lips and smiled, "It's good to be back. You have too many things to deal with, so I won't bother you here. By the way, I forgot to congratulate you on being promoted to Tailing and enjoying immortality." "Haha, Same joy, same joy," Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile, "Leaving now? Don't you want to know where I have been for the past six months?" "No." Wan Shanhong smiled and shook his head, "Go about your business, I'll leave now. Now, you don't have to worry about me." "Don't leave in a hurry, stay for one day and leave tomorrow." Wu Zhongyuan persuaded him to stay. Wan Shanhong shook his head, and then quietly informed Wu Zhongyuan of the formation position of Bagua Qianyang. Wu Zhongyuan memorized it carefully and then asked, "How did they get the other set of Bagua Qianyang? Is Yanyun Mountain okay?" "It's okay. They deceived Bagua Qianyang, not snatched it away," Wan Shanhong shook his head again, "Their purpose is not to kill the human race, but to enslave the human race. Unless it is really necessary, these evil heretics will not kill people indiscriminately.

"Wu Zhongyuan still wanted to talk to him. Those foreign aids who were searching for the remnants of the rebels came back. Wu Zhongyuan thought for a moment, thinking that he would not have a chance to talk to Wan Shanhong in detail in a short time, so he thanked her and let her leave first. Wan Shan After Hong left, Hu Tong also came to say goodbye to him. Wu Zhongyuan had a good impression of Hu Tong, so he offered to persuade him to stay, "Brother Hu is helping us with kindness and hard work. Bear stay for a few days, and let me do my best to the landlord." friendship. "I don't need you to show your kindness as a landlord," Hu Tong waved his hand and said, "I heard that you have a lot of black iron weapons. If you feel bad about it, give me one as a gift." ""what do you want? Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile. "Nonsense, of course you need a stick." "Hu Tong said. "Okay, just go around and look for me later. I'll give you one. "Wu Zhongyuan said. Hu Tong was overjoyed and turned around. He saw Wu Zhongyuan and the old blind man standing at the entrance of the palace. A group of foreign aid came to pay homage to Wu Zhongyuan. These people were from different places. Most of them were unknown to Wu Zhongyuan. Everyone was talking about it. He couldn't remember so many names when he signed up, but he knew very well why these people wanted to get close to him. It was undoubtedly what the old blind man had promised them before. After most of the people returned, Wu Zhongyuan got angry and spoke up, and solemnly thanked everyone, Then he expressed his attitude. No matter what promises the old blind man made to them, he would respect the old blind man's decision and repay them one by one. What everyone was waiting for was his words. After hearing what he said, they felt relieved. After the greetings, they all He said goodbye and left, Wu Zhongyuan offered a symbolic invitation to stay. Everyone knew that he wanted to clean up the aftermath, so they retreated. Qiu Yun did not come to meet Wu Zhongyuan, but left without saying goodbye. He came here to fulfill his promise and take back the fish, stone and turtle. He achieved his goal. After sending away all the foreign aid, Wu Zhongyuan summoned his own people to go to the Zhongtian Palace to discuss politics. The imperial throne, dragon chair and table still maintained the same appearance as when he left. This seat belongs to him, even if he is not in the court. , and no one dared to usurp and occupy it. After everyone was seated, Wu Zhongyuan stood up, looked around everyone, and then said seriously, "You must know the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus. The Nine-Leaf Green Lotus was not found by myself, but by a dying general. The person who died gave it to me. The person who gave me the Nine-leaf Green Lotus once asked me to help take care of a person whose soul was damaged. This person's situation is quite special. The demons intend to occupy this person's body and have been peeking from near his residence. Unfortunately, for some reason, I couldn't bring him to the bear, so I had to protect him from his place of residence, so I delayed it for a while. "Wu Zhongyuan paused briefly when he said this. Everyone in the audience nodded after hearing his words. In fact, there is no need for the emperor to tell his ministers where he went or what he did. Wu Zhongyuan explained the situation to them out of respect for them. . After a brief pause, Wu Zhongyuan continued, "If someone thinks that I am out of touch with the big, it doesn't matter whether it is serious or serious, but it doesn't matter. "Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Jiang Zhen stood up from his seat and said seriously, "It is a matter of loyalty to someone who is entrusted by others. Although the Holy Emperor is the Yellow Emperor of the Central Plains, he is also an entrusted person. He should keep his word and fulfill his promise. "Although Wu Di is in the harem, he supervises the household department. This time he is also in the court. After Jiang Zhen finished speaking, Wu Di stood up and said, "The nine-leaf green lotus obtained by the Holy Master was not used for personal use, but was given to us and others to promote our cultivators. Because, therefore, the loyalty of the Holy Spirit is not a private act, but for the country and the public. "After the two of them finished speaking, everyone agreed. Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. He is now the Yellow Emperor, and he has a high level of cultivation. People on his side don't dare to talk to him too casually. Although he is not flattering, he will definitely be nice. He said that this is human nature and cannot be characterized as flattering. What's more, Wu Di's statement is indeed reasonable. He obtained the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus and distributed it freely, benefiting everyone in his own party. It was indeed official. His previous worries were actually due to He underestimated the structure and opinions of everyone on his own side. In fact, the essence of this matter is very simple. He received benefits from others and promised to help others, and then distributed the benefits to his subordinates. When it came time to fulfill his promise, everyone on his own side would naturally understand. And support him. Only those who are selfish and narrow-minded will accuse him of ignoring the importance of small things and losing big things. They get the benefits themselves, but they blame the boss because he fulfills his promise. This kind of selfish subordinates are really unacceptable... "I During your absence from the court, you have worked very hard, and I am very uneasy. "Wu Zhongyuan raised his hands and bowed. Seeing how solemn he was, everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted. The old blind man replied on behalf of everyone, "Your Majesty's words are serious. As a minister, it is your duty to share your worries for the king. "Wu Zhongyuan said again, "All the purple warriors present today will be rewarded with copper caps and thorny python cloaks. Those who have received this reward will be promoted to one level. "Everyone was very happy when they heard the words and hurriedly received the order to thank them. In fact, this reward is not a practical reward, but more of an honor. Although honor is vain, it is also valued by the world. Everyone has vanity. Heart, the essence of honor is to satisfy the vanity of others and make the recipients different from ordinary people. Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand to signal everyone to return to their seats, then turned to Jiang Dahua, "Jiang Dahua, you are in charge of the Ministry of Government and Military Affairs. In your opinion, this How should we deal with the warriors who participated in the rebellion? "Among the heinous crimes, there are those who rebel and seek to usurp the throne. Logically speaking, they should be beheaded," Jiang Dahua said with a look of embarrassment on his face. "But there are too many people, so we can't kill them all. It's better to punish twenty with a rod." Reduce their salary by one level and allow them to perform meritorious service. "Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded in agreement, "I will leave this matter to you and Prince Li and Prince Jiang to discuss it together." "The three of them stood up in response. Wu Zhongyuan said again, "Jiang Tao, Wu Shaojun, Wu Shang, and Li Fan were all connected with outsiders and conspired to usurp the throne. Their crimes are inexcusable. Considering that they were bewitched by outsiders and had few evil deeds before, Therefore, he was buried properly and the burial followed the regulations of the warriors in the mountain.

"This matter is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. Jiang Youdao, the head of the Ministry of Rites, stood up to receive the order. "Everyone, please perform your duties. The two princes and officials from the six departments will stay. "Wu Zhongyuan said. After hearing the words, everyone stood up and took their leave...
