Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

"Lord Song is right. I have been feeling quite tired lately. I need to cultivate and handle court affairs, so I am really too busy.

Therefore, the matter of abdication should indeed be put on the agenda."

Zhao Pan said gently, "Lord Song, who do you think would be the most suitable person to be the next emperor?"

"Since Your Majesty has asked, I will speak frankly."

Song Xuan said in a deep voice: "The Crown Prince is without virtue and cannot handle this important task. I hope that Your Majesty will issue an order to depose Crown Prince Zhao Gou and appoint a new Crown Prince at the grand court tomorrow.

As for the selection of the new crown prince, it would naturally be decided by all the officials.

Of course, in my opinion, the Second Prince Zhao Zhe is a man of good character and has the potential to be a benevolent ruler, so he is the most suitable! "

Zhao Pan nodded and smiled, "Lord Song and I are of the same mind. I have been training Zhao Zhe all these years. Now that he has gained enough experience, he is indeed qualified to be the crown prince of a country.

I intend to reinstate him as Crown Prince tomorrow, and then he will handle court affairs in the name of Regent. Once he is familiar with all matters, I will abdicate. How do you do that?

Song Xuan smiled slightly, "It would be the best if Your Majesty could have such an idea. This would be a decent ending.

If Your Majesty has nothing else to say, I will withdraw first. I will await Your Majesty's order at the grand court tomorrow!"

With that said, he turned around and left.

"and many more!"

Zhao Pan was anxious and said quickly, "Lord Song, I have done everything I should do. Can't you give me a promise?"

"Oh?"

Song Xuan smiled slightly, "What guarantee does Your Majesty want?"

"After I decree that Zhao Zhe will be regent, he will retreat to the ancestral temple and will no longer interfere in state affairs!"

"I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can give me a guarantee to keep my queen and son Zhao Gou alive!"

Song Xuan turned around and looked at him quietly, "Why, Your Majesty, do you want me to swear an oath?"

"No need to swear!"

Zhao Pan had a smile on his face and said expectantly, "I know your sister Song Qian is still unmarried. How about I grant her a marriage before I abdicate and let her marry Zhao Gou?

With this relationship, your Song family will be related to the Zhao family in the future, and I won't have to worry about the safety of Zhao Gou and his mother. Isn't it wonderful to kill two birds with one stone?"

Chapter 827: It’s meaningless, just sending you on your way!

Song Xuan didn't say anything for a long time, but just stared at the other person quietly.

Originally, considering that this old man was proactive and decent, he was planning to spare his life.

What a pity, it is rare for Lord Song to be kind, some people are just not nice!

"Lord Song, what do you think about this marriage?"

Zhao Pan was a little nervous. He knew that it was unlikely that Song Xuan would agree to this matter, but he still wanted to give it a try.

In his opinion, even if it fails, the ancestor can save him from death. Anyway, he doesn't have to worry about his life in the worst case scenario, so why not give it a try?

What if it happens?

"I wasn't thinking about marriage just now, I was reflecting!"

"Oh? What are you reflecting on, my dear?"

Song Xuan's face was indifferent, and there was an undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.

"I'm wondering if I'm too easy to talk to and too generous to you, giving you the illusion that you can bargain with me!"

Zhao Pan's expression changed. "What do you mean?"

Song Xuan sighed lightly, "It's nothing special, I'm just sending you on your way!"

Before Zhao Pan could react, he saw Song Xuan's bronze-gloved hand had landed on his head.

His pupils suddenly widened and his face was full of disbelief.

It was just a marriage, but the evil villain Song Xuan dared to kill him, the emperor of the Qiyun Dynasty, in the imperial capital, in the imperial study?

He didn't believe it, but he had to.

Because Song Xuan's palm had fallen, crushing his body shield and tearing his ancient body protection treasure. Then, with a click, he felt his head and body separated.

Ever since the battle with Patriarch Daluo, Song Xuan has been able to easily crush cultivators like Zhao Pan, who is not even a veteran Mahayana cultivator, without any pressure at all.

Even though the opponent was the emperor and was protected by the dynasty's luck, he still couldn't resist at all in Song Xuan's hands.

Holding Zhao Pan's head in one hand, the once high and mighty emperor was not dead yet. After a brief moment of shock, he finally reacted, and a panicked and horrified voice came out of his mouth quickly.

"Madman! Song Xuan, you madman!"

"You are plotting a rebellion, killing the emperor in the palace. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

"It's over, you're done. The fortune compass has noticed this place. You're dead!"

Song Xuan ignored him and exerted force with his palm, but to his surprise, Zhao Pan's head did not explode as he expected.

An extremely strange aura seemed to envelop his head, saving him from the danger of falling.

Song Xuan knew in his heart that this was the beginning of the intervention of the destiny compass.

And at this moment, deep in the imperial palace, in a huge palace mottled by time, an extremely ancient breath, carrying a majestic power, came towards them.

"Fellow Daoist, please calm down. Can you please come to the ancestral temple to discuss this in detail?"

Song Xuan pondered for a moment, and a communication talisman appeared in his left hand. He moved his lips and conveyed a few words to Wang Lin. Then he held Zhao Pan's head, took a step forward, and arrived outside the gate of the ancestral temple of the imperial palace.

"Squeak~~"

The door of the ancestral temple opened automatically without any wind.

Song Xuan stepped in and as soon as he entered the door, he felt like he had come to a brand new world.

The hall was filled with clouds and mist, and it seemed like a secret world made up of mist.

And in the clouds and mist, fog from all directions began to gather together, and finally, condensed into a huge old face.

The huge cloud-like face suddenly opened its eyes the moment it took shape, and a tremendous pressure enveloped Song Xuan.

An old voice then rang out, "Fellow Daoist, it's understandable that there are conflicts between cultivators, but Zhao Pan is the Emperor of Dao Song after all. You're going too far by directly regicide!"

Song Xuan raised the head in his hand and shouted coldly, "Zhao Pan, come and tell your ancestor what you said in the imperial study!"

Zhao Pan shouted angrily: "What did I say? Didn't I just want to negotiate peace with you?

To resolve the feud, I propose that I arrange a marriage for your sister to my son, Zhao Gou. This kind of marriage is a very common thing, so why not?

Song Xuan raised his hand and slapped Zhao Pan on the head, then looked at the huge face of Patriarch Song with a deep gaze.

"Old Ancestor's power is comparable to that of creation. Do you think Zhao Pan should die?"

Patriarch Dao Song was silent, as if he was deducing something. After a while, a hint of surprise, even confusion, appeared on his old face, which was formed by clouds and mist.

"Your sister is a little weird!"

Song Xuan chuckled, "Is the ancestor trying to deduce her information? What did he deduce?"

Patriarch Dao Song seemed a little confused and was still making crazy calculations, but the next moment, there was a loud bang, and his huge face in the clouds and mist exploded with a bang.

The entire secret world of the ancestral temple began to shake violently, and the terrifying void cracks began to tear and extend wildly within the world.

Song Xuan stood in the void, quietly looking at the large cracks like ravines, and quietly looking at the depths of the void.

After a while, an old man in a black robe and with white hair, coughing constantly, slowly walked out of the clouds.

"Fellow Daoist, what is the origin of your sister?"

Song Xuan did not answer, but asked: "What did you calculate?"

"Your sister is at the Mahayana stage. Zhao Pan is so reckless that he dares to use his good-for-nothing son to propose marriage. It's understandable that you have murderous intentions!"

Patriarch Dao Song glanced at Zhao Pan, without a trace of affection in his eyes. At his age, he himself couldn't count how many generations of his bloodline Zhao Pan was.

For him, it doesn’t matter whether there is one more or one less descendant, as long as it does not affect the operation of the dynasty.

And it is obvious that Zhao Pan’s recent series of stupid actions have begun to shake the entire Qiyun Dynasty.

"I wanted to make some further calculations, but ended up being retaliated by the laws of nature!"

A look of confusion crossed Dao Song Patriarch's aged face. "This old man has been warned by the Heavenly Dao of the Myriad Spirits World! Could it be that your sister is the reincarnation of an immortal? Her origin is so great that even the Heavenly Dao has issued a special warning!"

Song Xuan put one hand behind his back and said indifferently, "Some things are better not to be known!

"Old Ancestor, instead of worrying about my sister's situation, why don't you talk about how to deal with Zhao Pan?"

Patriarch Dao Song pondered for a moment, opened his mouth, but said nothing, and seemed a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Song Xuan waved his sleeves and a sealing force swept out, directly sealing Zhao Pan's head.

After doing all this, he smiled faintly and said, "Now, if you have any ideas, you can speak freely!"

Dao Song Patriarch closed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Before deciding Zhao Pan's life or death, I have a few questions that I need you to answer.

The answer given by fellow Daoist will determine my attitude from now on! "

Chapter 828 Not only him, but also his queen and his prince must die!

Song Xuan smiled slightly.

He knew that the real negotiations had begun.

This did not surprise him.

Zhao Pan might be a fool, but as the ancestor of a dynasty with great fortune, Patriarch Dao Song could definitely not be a fool.

It is basically impossible for Patriarch Dao Song to do something like what Zhao Pan did, who plotted against his Mahayana ministers for a personal dispute and even colluded with foreign sects for this purpose.

"First of all, I want to know what you want from me, Daoist friend, in becoming an official in our dynasty?

I don’t know what happened in the secret realm of Daluo, but I know that fellow Daoist came out alive, but the ancestor of Daluo died.

With your strength, I can honestly say that even if it's not a taboo, it shouldn't be much different. I really don't know what else in the Dao Song Dynasty is worth your attention?"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "I think the ancestor can also feel that although my combat power is strong, I have not practiced for a long time. Compared with other peak Mahayana beings, my luck is still a little shallow.

The dynasty's destiny still has some appeal to me.

Besides, don’t you think, Grandpa, that it is interesting to help your own disciple ascend to the throne?”

Patriarch Dao Song narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded noncommittally, "Then my second question is, are you interested in the throne?

If you are interested, I can make the decision and you can sit in that seat!

If you get tired of sitting there, just pass it on to my Zhao family's descendants!"

Song Xuan waved his hand, "Forget about being the emperor. There are too many things to worry about. But I am a little interested in the position of the commander of the Imperial City Department."

Patriarch Dao Song laughed heartily, "So that's how it is. Daoist friend, are you interested in the authority of the Fortune Compass?"

As he spoke, his expression relaxed a lot, and he smiled and said, “Apart from this old man, the commander of the Imperial City Division has the greatest authority, which is indeed very beneficial for cultivation.

The current commander joined our Song Imperial City Division for this very purpose.

In recent years, he has been in seclusion all year round, leaving all official duties to the two deputy commanders, so that he can have some free time.

However, I cannot directly decide on the position of Commander. You need to accumulate enough merit points, and then the Emperor will apply. After the application is reviewed by the Qiyun Compass, the Commander can be reappointed."

Song Xuan waved his hand, "There's no rush for this matter. I will handle matters worthy of merit myself!

So, does the ancestor have anything else to ask?"

Dao Song Patriarch waved his hand and said, "That's all. I am very satisfied with your answer."

Song Xuan pointed at the sealed head of Zhao Pan and asked, "Now, could you please tell me what to do with this person?"

Dao Song Patriarch pondered for a moment, "Do you want him to die, fellow Daoist?"

Song Xuan nodded, "Not only will he die, but his queen and his crown prince Zhao Gou will also die!

I gave him a chance, but unfortunately he kept asking for trouble and wanted to die, so I had no choice but to help him!

Besides, if they don’t die, Zhao Zhe will have a lot of troubles to deal with after he comes to power!

Later on, I need to be busy completing meritorious service missions, so I don't have that much time to stay in the capital for a long time to deal with these troubles for him!"

Dao Song Patriarch thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that case, let's do as you say!"
