Guarding the mortal world for 300 years, I am invincible in the world

Chapter 116 Zhao Ji's Promise, Gongsun Jiu's Art of Refining Weapons
Zhao Ji, who was still the son of King Yu at the beginning, stayed overnight on the cloud boat.

That incident almost caused Zhao Ji's marriage with Shenjian Villa to be terminated.

At that time, Zhao Ji was just a prince that no one was optimistic about. After the matter was over, it was just a joke.

But who would have thought that within half a year, Zhao Ji would become the emperor of Zhao.

Immediately, who Zhao Ji favored on the cloud boat that night, and whether there will be royal blood flowing to the people, became the most noisy rumors in the market.

Moreover, the more it is passed on, the more mysterious it becomes.

The reason why the cloud boat was taken away by Yuan Wutang, and why it became a Qingshui painting boat added mystery to what happened that night.

The more so, the more confusing the rumors.

After the people's leisure time, the rumors about the emperor leaving an illegitimate child among the people became more and more bizarre.

After doing the math, if there is an illegitimate child, it will be born soon.

Zhang Li glanced at Zhao Ji.

Following King Wu to pacify Yongzhou and become emperor, it can be said that he ascended to heaven in one step.

But this is in exchange for the lives of King Yu and Princess Yu.

At this moment, Zhao Ji lacked the ease and freedom that he had when he came to Jingyuan Temple to see Zhang Li.

There was a little more flicker in his eyes.

How can there be a relaxed and unrestrained emperor in the world?
"What you are actually asking is that the court is orthodox and the royal family is inherited." Zhang Li shook his head and said lightly, "You know in your heart that this throne was not obtained by the right way."

Zhao Ji asked what happened that day, but it was just an introduction.

Although he, Zhao Ji, is now the emperor, his throne is not stable, and countless people still think that Wu Wang Zhao Cheng is the most suitable person to be emperor.

In Luojing City, there were various rumors about the succession of the throne, one of the loudest ones was that King Yu changed the imperial edict before his death.

There is no corroboration for this kind of rumor, just like whether Zhao Ji got lucky in Yuncaifang that day.

When Zhao Ji asked Zhang Li about this matter, he was indeed testing Zhang Li's views on the succession of the throne.

It's just that he didn't expect that Mr. Zhang would speak so directly.

Zhao Ji trembled all over, and a trace of fear and panic flashed in his eyes.

So what if it's the emperor?
In front of Mr. Zhang, isn't he so helpless?

Even though he is already in charge of the imperial power of the Zhao Kingdom, in front of Mr. Zhang, Zhao Ji is still the same as the prince who had nothing but Gui Yunxue, which was treasured in Prince Yu's mansion as a gift.

There are no secrets.

Nodding, Zhao Ji stretched out his hand and uncovered the flagon he brought.

Some tremblingly, he opened the mud seal, but pressed it again, shaking his head: "Drinking is not allowed during the funeral."

Taking a deep breath of the fragrance of the setting sun's blood from the clay-sealed flagon, Zhao Ji looked up at Zhang Li.

From his arms, he handed a light yellow book to Zhang Li's long case, and then slowly unfolded it.

"This is the imperial edict left by the first emperor."

Stretching out his hand to brush it, Zhao Ji said softly: "Indeed, the first emperor wanted King Wu to inherit the throne."

His fingers trembled uncontrollably, and pain flashed in Zhao Ji's eyes.

"My concubine died to let me understand that without power, I would be like an ant."

"Father, against the disapproval of the world, tampered with the imperial edict, and in exchange for his life, gave the throne to me."

"Sir, tell me, can I refuse?"

Clenching his fists tightly, Zhao Ji gritted his teeth, a twist appeared on his face.

"Everyone in the world knows that my second uncle is more suitable to be emperor than me."

"But if I don't become the emperor, I will be sorry to my father, queen, mother and concubine, let alone avenge them with my own hands."

"When I walked up to the deposed prince wearing a dragon robe and stabbed the long sword into his chest with my own hands, I could see the unwillingness and remorse in his eyes."

Putting his hand on the edict, Zhao Ji said softly: "Sir, if I can return the throne to the second uncle now, I will not hesitate."

return?
How to pay it back?
Zhang Li knew that Zhao Ji was just talking.

If you sit in this seat, don't you just pay it back if you want?

It is impossible for Zhao Ji to publicize this edict tampered with by King Yu.

It is also impossible for Zhao Ji to let King Yu bear the infamy.

Even if people all over the world look down on him, Zhao Ji, he still has to sit firmly in this seat.

It seems that since ascending to the throne, Zhao Ji has never talked to anyone. Sitting in front of Zhang Li, Zhao Ji kept talking about his recent difficulties.

His only biological sister can only agree to marry the Northern Wei Dynasty, otherwise, the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty cannot be stabilized.

No one in the court hall can be used by him, and all the worship halls are full of people who look down on Zhao Ji.

The sixteen mansions in the southeast are now controlled by Su Ming, and there is only a thin line between whether they will leave Zhao and return to Chu.

If the sixteen mansions collapsed, he, Zhao Ji, would be ashamed of the ancestors of Zhao's royal family.

After becoming the emperor, Zhao Ji knew that Zhao Guotian had already been unable to sustain himself.

Luo Jing now has no available army or money to allocate.

"Sir, tell me, what should I do?"

Looking up, Zhao Ji's eyes showed confusion.

Before you know it, the sky is full of stars.

In the side hall, fluorescent beads hanging on the surrounding walls slowly light up.

"Zhao Cheng came to see me today and said that you would come to ask me about this matter." Zhang Li's words made Zhao Ji's shoulders tremble.

What Zhao Ji wanted to do, he couldn't hide it from King Wu.

Or, he, Zhao Ji, is still too tender in the eyes of King Wu.

"Now the general situation of Zhao State, even if Dongfang Jing returns, it will be difficult to stabilize." Zhang Li's face was indifferent, and his voice was calm.

Instead of saying it in a suggested tone, he said these things directly.

It's as if major events in this world can be resolved with one word.

"Sir, do you really have to invite Su Ming back to the capital?" Zhao Ji's face flashed with embarrassment, and he said in a low voice, "Su Ming is self-reliant, using Confucianism and Taoism to fight against martial arts, and he is not entangled with the Jixia Academy of Chu State. Qing, also ordered those thousand-year-old families..."

His voice stopped.

Because the expression on the front of the chapter did not change at all.

Any worries are just Zhao Ji making excuses for himself.

The general trend of the Zhao Kingdom is that Su Ming must return to Luojing and take charge of the Zhao Kingdom's court.

Only in this way can Zhao Guochaotang be stabilized.

Zhao Ji clearly has the answer in mind, but he is hesitating.

Because his own throne was not obtained rightly, he was extremely disgusted with the fact that Su Ming took advantage of the general trend to force the court.

But this general trend can't be changed by his disgust.

If Mr. Zhang in front of him is willing to make a move and sit in the court, it will indeed change the overall situation.

It's a pity that from the beginning to the end, Zhang Li didn't show the slightest expression.

"Zhao Ji understands..."

With a soft whisper, Zhao Ji stood up and bowed to Zhang Li.

"I'm going to issue an edict right away, asking the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Officials, Su Ming, to return to Luojing and pay homage to the country's phase."

Bowing and taking a few steps back, Zhao Ji said again: "I know Brother Zhang Chu's Yuanwu Hall is for Mr. Zhang to collect information about Luo Jing."

"In the future, not only the Yuanwu Hall, but also the Royal Family Hall, and the Jingzhao Mansion will send a copy of the latest news from all parties to Jingyuan Temple."

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ji looked up at Zhang Li.

He generously sent all the information about Zhao Guo to Jingyuan Temple.

"Mr. Zhao Jizhi only wants to have a place for meditation. Zhao Ji will decide on major issues in the future, and he will never disturb him."

"Zhao Kingdom is not in chaos, Luojing is not in chaos, and Jingyuan Temple is not in chaos."

"Zhao Ji may not be able to be a good emperor, but Zhao Ji will try his best to be an emperor who can make the people of Zhao country live a stable life."

Why did Zhao Ji become the emperor?

Is it really the edict changed by the father?
The court hall, the worship hall, and Luo Jingzhong's aristocratic family, although they have complaints, they dare not speak up. Why?
Because he, Zhao Ji, once drove a black tiger chariot and confronted the Great Qin Emperor.

Because Zhao Ji once drove to the bank of Jinjiang, and dared to challenge the 30 troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty across the river.

Because behind him, Zhao Ji, there is Mr. Jing Yuanguan Thunder Immortal Master Zhang.

On that day, when he was holding the imperial edict in his hand, he turned his head and saw Zhang Chu leading all the masters and powerful men in Jingyuan Temple to come, and he also brought him a sentence.

"Mr. Zhang agreed."

Mr. Jing Yuan Guanzhang promised Zhao Ji to be the emperor, this is his greatest confidence!

Just today, he sent the imperial edict to the desk in front of Zhang Li.

No one in the world can take away this imperial edict in front of Mr. Zhang!

Walking out of Jingyuan Temple today, no one in the world will be able to question Zhao Ji's improper position.

After today, whoever questioned Zhao Ji was questioning Immortal Master Jing Yuanguan.

Whether it is active or passive, in the eyes of outsiders, Immortal Master Jing Yuanguan is tied to Emperor Zhao Guoxin.

Watching Zhao Ji leave, he also knew that Zhao Ji was here today to take advantage of the situation, but Zhang Li didn't feel any ill feeling.

Looking at the imperial edict on the table, and the uncovered setting sun's blood, Zhang Li's eyes revealed a gleam.

With a gesture, the imperial edict fell into the storage bag.

Zhao Ji took the initiative to present his biggest handle in front of Zhang Li, which was to vote for a certificate.

Carrying the setting sun blood, Zhang Li went to the Zhenyao Pagoda.

That night, Dongfang Jing went out of the Demon Town Tower and headed towards the East China Sea to pick up the Merman Clan in the East China Sea, along with Qingyue and Yu Mengmeng.

Regarding the disappearance of Qinglin, Yu Honggu, who barely maintained her life, was also extremely anxious.

It's just that now her cultivation base can't get out of the Zhenyao Tower at all, so she can only let Dongfang Jing and Qingyue go.

The fox demon Tu Zheng and the tiger demon Zhao Hu also left the Demon Town Pagoda under Zhang Li's order, and headed for the imperial city with Daoist Qingyu, a strong master in Jingyuan Temple, and ten other disciples in the Qi Condensation realm.

This is Jing Yuan Guan's greatest support to the new emperor Zhao Ji.

That night, all parties in Luojing City were in chaos.

In the early morning of the second day, there were two more messages in the bamboo tube sent by Yuan Wutang, which mainly recorded not only the affairs of Luo Jingzhong, but also messages from the Chaotang and Zhao Guo.

Because His Majesty returned to the Imperial City from Jingyuan Temple, and then there were strong Jingyuan Temple stationed in the Imperial City. This was regarded by all parties in Luojing as Jingyuan Temple's most direct support for His Majesty.

As soon as this news came out, last night several senior officials from the aristocratic families in the city kicked out the people from the southeast aristocratic families who had been interviewed.

According to the news controlled by Yuanwutang, several large commercial houses drove the merchant ships moored outside the city to the pier overnight, and unloaded various materials on them.

Jing Yuanguan took the initiative to stand behind His Majesty, and Luo Jing's situation was sure to be stable.

In this way, all kinds of prices in Luojing that were originally raised will inevitably fall back.

If you don't rush to take advantage of the price before it has completely dropped, you will be at a loss.

If you earn less, you lose.

"Your Majesty personally wrote it all night, and the three masters in the enshrinement hall went out of the city, and went southeast to invite Shangshu Su Ming to return to the capital."

This note is dedicated to the church.

"Your Majesty called people from the southeast family to Beijing at night." This note was written by Zhang Chu himself.

The southeast aristocratic families who were kicked out by various families in Luojing were quietly summoned by the emperor.

It seemed that Zhao Ji was also unwilling to call Su Ming into the court unconditionally.

Perhaps, he wanted to use the Southeast family as a constraint on Su Ming?

It's just that such actions are somewhat petty.

But in Zhang Li's view, Zhao Ji did it deliberately for Su Ming to see.

Let Su Ming know that he, Zhao Ji, does not trust you unconditionally, but because of the current situation, he can only let you, Su Ming, enter Beijing.

Anyway, Zhao Ji was not afraid of Su Ming.

With the backing of Jing Yuanguan and Thunder Immortal Master, Zhao Ji is not afraid of anyone.

Zhang Li thought of Zhang Chu's previous note, which contained an introduction to the counselor behind Zhao Ji.

At that time, Gao Shishan was the staff member of the Prince's Mansion.

Qian Yan, a staff member of Prince Yu's mansion.

These two are people with extraordinary strategies.

Zhao Ji acted in the shadow of these two people.

One day later, news spread throughout Luojing that Su Ming, a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials in the southeast, and a disciple of Dongfang Jing, the Prime Minister of the State, wanted to return to Luojing.

His Majesty has issued an order to invite Su Ming to return and assume the position of Minister of State of Zhao.

As soon as the news came out, the people in Luojing all celebrated together.

But the families of all parties panicked.

Su Ming was in the Ping family in the southeast, and the blood flowed like a river.

The official family does not enter the southeast mansion, and there are three major gangs, one village, two factions.

Shenjian Villa took refuge in the court hall, and the owner of Shenjian Villa entered the enshrining hall, which was regarded as wise and safe.

Of the other two sects and three gangs, only the Qinghe Gang focused on water transportation, and they took refuge in Su Ming early on and survived.

Other powers in the rivers and lakes, and aristocratic families in various states were basically wiped out.

Now if Su Ming returns to Luojing with great momentum, Luojing's aristocratic family may collapse.

Zhang Li didn't care about these things, he only knew the news, so he burned those notes.

Let the wind and waves turmoil, as long as the general situation of the world is stable, there is no need for him to take action.

The side hall of the small courtyard.

Zhang Li sat upright with a calm expression.

In front of Zhang Li, the red-faced Gongsun Jiu carefully closed the book, and put it on the long case with both hands.

"Mr. Zhang, judging from the classics given by Mr., the method of refining artifacts in the immortal way does have something in common with ordinary weapon refining."

Gongsun Jiu took out a blue long sword.

The blade of this sword is clear, with a faint streamer flashing.

This is the sharpness of the sword that is too sharp.

"I am confident that the art of refining weapons is already at its peak in the ordinary world. Coupled with the legacy of refining weapons in the practice world left by our ancestors, it is absolutely impossible for this world to have a means of refining weapons that surpasses that of my Shenjian Villa."

Gently stroking the edge of the sword, Gongsun Jiu sighed softly, with a trace of disappointment and longing on his face.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to have five inheritances of refining weapons in the practice world."

"These methods of inheritance really opened Gongsun Jiu's eyes."

Looking up, he looked at Zhang Li.

"According to the agreement, Gongsun Jiu will stay in Jingyuan Temple for ten years."

"These ten years are dedicated to refining weapons for Mister."

It takes ten years to refine the weapon after reading the classics, is it worth it?
For Gongsun Jiu, not to mention ten years, it is worth spending all his lifespan hereafter.

In this world, there is still a weapon refining technique that surpasses his Excalibur Villa, so why isn't it worthwhile for him to gain enlightenment?

Although he is currently serving as an enshrinement in the Royal Family's Enshrining Hall, it's just an idle job.

Another layer of his identity is the grandfather of Gongsun Xue, who is about to become a queen.

Who can control him in the enshrinement hall?
In his capacity, staying in Luojing is the greatest support for Emperor Zhao Ji.

As for whether it is in the Imperial City or Jingyuan Temple, it really doesn't matter much.

"Okay, then it's settled."

With a smile on his face, Zhang Li raised his hand, and the iron felt made of spiritual materials in the practice world, the hammer with the spirit pattern, the spar with the color of fire, and all kinds of refining tools all flew down.

Gongsun Jiu didn't turn his eyes to those refining tools, but stared at Zhang Li's sleeves, widened his eyes, and murmured in his mouth: "The universe in the sleeves, is it really the method of the fairy family..."

In the next few days, Zhang Li watched Gongsun Jiu refine a top-quality sword that was hard to find in the world.

As long as this sword is engraved with the spirit pattern, it is a mortal weapon.

Holding the sword, Zhang Li returned to the quiet room and raised the array.

In front of him, a book was opened.

The classics of spirit pattern seal cutting in the basic refining technique.

Using the power of the soul as a guide, engrave the spirit patterns into the body of the sword by drawing talismans.

Both of these conditions are met by Zhang Li.

In addition to swordsmanship and guarding the way, you can also sharpen your practice.

Thunder method, the method of protecting the way, can be practiced with the power of the way of heaven.

The way of talismans, based on the idea of ​​squeezing Zhu Yunshan, can be cultivated as much as possible.

Today's method of refining weapons is also one of the means for practitioners to get close.

Most low-level practitioners don't have the energy to practice these methods of protecting and assisting the way. Zhang Li is not short of time and energy now.

A trace of aura flashed on the edge of the cyan carving knife, filled with true energy, and then walked on the spine of the sword.

"Om-"

The blade vibrated and the streamer lit up.
