Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

He talked about Song Xuan's rudeness, and emphasized the attitude of the great masters and elders in the Worship Hall who treated him like an ant.

He had lived for several decades and been in power for more than twenty years, yet he had never suffered such a great humiliation!

He did not expect the current prince to avenge him, but he had to plant the seeds of hatred in advance.

When the prince becomes the perfect grandmaster in the future, he will definitely avenge this grudge!

Ji Xuanfeng listened quietly, his brows furrowed unconsciously.

He really didn't expect that without him noticing, this incompetent father would cause him so much trouble.

If he does this, it will probably be a lot of trouble to repair the relationship between him and the Xuanyi Guards when he ascends the throne.

"Father, your health is poor, so please stay in bed and rest. From now on, I will handle the affairs of state!"

He's ready to take over.

He could not ascend the throne yet, but he could exercise the power of regent first. As father and son, he still felt a little sorry for his old father who had less than half a year to live, and planned to leave him some final dignity.

But as soon as he said this, the emperor's face changed drastically.

"Xuanfeng, are you trying to seize power?"

He struggled to get up from the bed, glaring at the son whom he had just relied on as his last support, "I am the Son of Heaven. As long as I am alive, you can only be the Crown Prince!"

"Remember this, what I give you is yours! If I don't give it to you, you can't take it away!"

Ji Xuanfeng looked quietly at his father, whose mind was full of power and who had become a slave to power, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Once upon a time, his father was his idol whom he admired and studied for. Who would have thought that in just twenty years, he had become like this.

Chapter 332: Don’t let your father die before I get married

"Father!"

Ji Xuanfeng stared at the emperor and said coldly, "Song Xuan is right about something."

"What?"

The emperor felt something was wrong. This son, who had always been sensible and obedient, felt particularly dangerous to him today.

"Am I giving you too much face?"

He approached the emperor, lifted him up by the collar like a chicken, and sneered, "For the sake of our father-son relationship, I wanted to give you some dignity, but you just can't see the situation clearly and don't know what to do!"

"What do you mean by what you give me is mine? I want to sit on the throne of the Son of Heaven. Do I need a piece of trash like you to give it to me?"

The emperor was stunned. He had suffered too many blows today. At this moment, he was a little numb. He just looked at his son, who had become his enemy, with a dejected look on his face.

"Rebellious son, you rebellious son, even you want to rebel against me!?"

Ji Xuanfeng sighed and suddenly felt a little pitiful for him.

My father was born in the wrong world. In this world of martial arts, he sits in the highest position without any strength, which is a sin in itself.

Ji Xuanfeng casually threw him on the bed, and said in a calmer voice, "I'll leave you some dignity. You can issue the abdication decree yourself."

He turned and walked out of the bedroom, "I'll give you ten days to sort out the mess in your harem and move out of my bedroom as soon as possible!"

"The traitor! The traitor!"

After roaring for a while, the emperor's face turned terribly cold when Ji Xuanfeng left.

"Rebellious son, you have held power for your father for over twenty years. Do you think you can easily seize power simply by relying on force?"

"If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

"Ji Xuanfeng, Song Xuan! If I don't have a good life, you won't have an easy life either. Even if I can't defeat you, I will disgust you to death!"

.....

Outside the imperial capital, by the river where Song Xuan went fishing last time.

After Ji Xuanfeng arrived, he found that Song Xuan was indeed fishing there.

He couldn't help but smile. There was indeed a tacit understanding between the two of them.

He knew I would come, and I knew he would be there.

Sitting not far from Song Xuan, after making a nest, Ji Xuanfeng cast out his fishing rod and asked with a smile, "How was your catch today? Did you catch any fish?"

Song Xuan shook his head. It was strange that he caught nothing last time because he didn't restrain his murderous aura enough and scared the fish.

But this time, he was already a perfect master, and his aura was completely restrained, but still no fish took the bait. This was a bit strange.

Is it possible that my luck is so bad?

Ji Xuanfeng laughed heartily, "I heard that you confronted the Emperor today?"

Song Xuan nodded, "Why, are you happy that I'm arguing with him?"

Ji Xuanfeng suddenly pulled the fishing rod and said, "Oh, I caught a fish right after I got here. I'm so lucky."

"What a coincidence! I just confronted him too."

Putting the fish into the bucket, he continued, "I've already given him an ultimatum: I'll have him resign in ten days. He's no longer fit to stay in that position."

Song Xuan nodded, "Alright, I'm a lazy person, and it's really annoying to argue with him every now and then."

"But I don't think your father is someone who would honestly abdicate."

"I know!" Ji Xuanfeng smiled and said, "But after all, we are father and son. I still hope he can think it through. If he abdicates in a dignified manner, at least he can travel around and see the world in his last days.

He has lived in the imperial capital his entire life, and his horizons have been completely limited. In the last six months, I hope he can be a normal person and see the real life."

"What if he can't figure it out and wants to trip me up?"

Ji Xuanfeng shook his head. "I've already given him the chance. If he still doesn't know what's good for him, then I can only send him on his dragon and ascend to heaven!"

"By the way, if I ascend the throne, you will support me, right?"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. Supporting your Majesty's work is the duty of the Xuanyi Guards."

Ji Xuanfeng laughed and said, "You are quite an interesting person.

Don't worry, I won't interfere in the internal affairs of the Xuanyi Guard. You can arrange it yourself.

But when something happens outside and you, the Xuanyi Guard, need to take action, you can't make excuses to shirk responsibility."

Song Xuan nodded.

There was no messy confrontation.

As both are Wuque Grandmasters, they are equal in status.

Ji Xuanfeng respected Song Xuan's strength, and Song Xuan also recognized his status as the emperor. The two perfect masters completed a negotiation that was related to the power change of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty in just a few words.

After a brief silence, Ji Xuanfeng spoke again.

"Today, the Emperor said he would grant me and your sister a marriage. I heard you were very angry?"

Song Xuan looked calm, "My Song family is different from others. Song Qian's marriage is decided by herself.

If you want to use power to oppress others, I will make him understand what true power is."

Ji Xuanfeng hummed, "You are a good brother."

As the sky darkened, Song Xuan put away his fishing rod and prepared to leave with the empty bucket.

After taking two steps, he paused, glanced sideways at the bucket of fish next to Ji Xuanfeng, and asked, "Will you sell this fish?"

Ji Xuanfeng laughed, "I thought you didn't care about anything except your family.

It turns out that you also have a sense of shame!"

As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and the bucket landed in front of Song Xuan. "I'll sell it to you for ten taels of silver."

"You're robbing me!"

Although he said so, Song Xuan did not hesitate. He threw out ten taels of silver and poured a bucket of fish into his own small bucket.

Today's harvest was good, I caught a whole bucket of fish.

It's just that I was unlucky and lost ten taels of silver on the way.

But it doesn’t matter. I can’t go back with an air force and be laughed at by my dad.

Ji Xuanfeng weighed the silver and said, "Silver is not very convenient to transport or use when there is a large amount. What do you think about the court setting up a chamber of commerce to issue silver bills?"

There are silver notes in this world, but they are all issued by some large chambers of commerce and only circulate locally. If they are transferred to other states, many places will not recognize them.

"Given the court's credibility, issuing silver notes is naturally no problem." Song Xuan said casually, "It's never the matter that's difficult, but the people.

The interests involved are too great, and the impact on large chambers of commerce in various places will be catastrophic. It will inevitably be obstructed by various forces, both overt and covert.

It is said that your father had this idea, but was ultimately unable to carry it out for various reasons. If you want to do it, you must be prepared to deal with all kinds of troubles."

Ji Xuanfeng sneered disdainfully, "He can't do it, that's because the knife in his hand is not sharp enough, and he doesn't dare to use it."

"But I'm different. I'm ruthless when using the Xuanyiwei knife.

Commander Song, we may have to kill quite a few people in the future, so we need your support!"

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. It's just my job!"

Song Xuan carried the bucket and walked towards the imperial capital. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Ji Xuanfeng received Song Xuan's message.

"I'm getting married next month. If your father doesn't understand, please wait until after my wedding before ascending to heaven. I don't mind, but getting married during a period of national mourning is unlucky after all."

Ji Xuanfeng's lips moved.

"can!"

Chapter 333 Song Qian, why don’t you kneel down and accept the order?

Carry the bucket back.

Dad was drinking tea in the yard as usual. Li Mochou was practicing swordsmanship, and Old Song occasionally gave some instructions.

Xiao Longnu was practicing standing meditation with great difficulty. She had not yet cultivated any internal skills and was at the age to improve her body.

Seeing Song Xuan coming back, Xiao Longnu said happily, "Master, did you go fishing?"

"Correct!"

Song Xuan nodded proudly, "How about it, a bucket full of fish, impressive, right?"

"Master uncle is so amazing!"

Xiao Longnu exclaimed in amazement, trotting over and excitedly asking, "Uncle Master, can you let me play with these fish?"

Song Xuan lowered his head and pinched her chubby little face. "What's so fun about fish?"

Xiao Longnu excitedly said, "I'm going to dry them into dried fish!"

"Okay, go play with it!"

Song Xuan handed the bucket to her casually. Although the little girl was young, she was a martial artist after all. She walked briskly with a bucket of fish and rushed to the backyard with a smile on her face.

Song Yuanshan muttered in surprise, "It was actually caught by fishing."

Song Xuan said without hesitation, "Of course it's true. How can it be faked?"

Pulling a stool and sitting in front of the stone table, Song Xuan said, "Today I went to see the emperor with Ye Tian."

Song Yuanshan hummed, "Given the emperor's virtue, he will most likely propose some kind of marriage. Are you not impulsive?"

Song Xuan laughed dryly, "I wasn't impulsive, I just said a few words to him."

As he spoke, he briefly recounted what happened in the imperial study today.

Old Song was speechless and said, "He is the emperor after all. You can scold him a few times, but releasing pressure in the palace is a bit taboo.

You're not hurt, are you? "

Song Xuan shook his head. "The Grand Master who sits in the Imperial Palace probably has no intention of taking action. He and I only had a simple, exploratory exchange of spiritual senses, and neither of us gained the upper hand."

Old Song nodded and said, "You are the Grandmaster Wuque after all. Unless these royal officials have completely broken off relations with you, no one would want to offend you to death."

Song Xuan laughed and said, "I met the Crown Prince Ji Xuanfeng while fishing. He has already fallen out with the Emperor and has given him ten days to issue an abdication decree."

Old Song was not surprised, "Ji Xuanfeng's ascension to the throne was a consensus reached long ago by the Grand Masters of the Imperial Capital.

"The emperor changes his reign, so you and his ministers should cooperate well with each other. My Song family relies on the Xuanyi Guards for their livelihood. It's okay to be lazy at ordinary times, but at the critical moment, you must do your job without hesitation."
