Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

"Deng Tai'a, you are just bragging like a blind chicken. Do you think I didn't see anything? If it weren't for Nagarjuna's enlightenment and leaving a glimmer of hope for Buddhism, you would have been beaten to a pulp."

"You, damn it, Dugu Jianmo, do you know what it means to expose someone's shortcomings without exposing their weaknesses?"

"Oh, really? This is really lonely and embarrassing."

"Mad, Dugu Junior, do you want to fight?"

"Hit me if you want. Am I afraid of you?"

The two top sword masters were confronting each other, causing dense sword lights and sword energy to rise up in the entire courtyard, as if they were going to fight to the death if they had a disagreement.

Yang Zhao was shocked by this scene.

Damn it, if Deng Tai'a and Dugu Qiubai really start fighting, I'm afraid the entire Xiangyang city will be destroyed.

Almost instinctively, Yang Zhao said, "Uncle, Senior Deng, please don't do anything."

Dugu Qiubai said arrogantly, "My dear nephew, don't be afraid. My sword is shining brightly in my heart and my sword skills are even better. Please get out of my way. I am going to beat the shit out of Deng Tai'a today."

Deng Tai'a sneered and said, "It just so happens that after I have broken free from all the shackles and fought with the old monk Longshu, I have accumulated a lot of experience and am now ready to learn the Gengjin Shattering Light Sword Dao. I will let you, a young man, know what the sky is high and the earth is thick."

Dugu Qiubai and Deng Tai'a still considered it a bit after all. They didn't really fight, but just threatened loudly.

Yang Zhao had no choice but to take out two secret books and said, "Uncle, Senior Deng, these are the insights I gained when I was researching the Void Sword Scripture. They contain methods of controlling the sword with the mind, flying the sword a thousand miles, and some methods of refining weapons that are close to immortality. Why don't you two elders learn from them and let them settle for a while before deciding the winner?"

Dugu Qiubai's eyes gleamed, and he said, "My nephew, what you said makes sense."

Deng Tai'a was also a little jealous and said, "Today, for the sake of Yang Zhao, I will let you go."

The two of them quickly took a side of the Void Sword Sutra, then glared at each other, broke through the void and left.

Yang Zhao was very upset about this, but he could do nothing about it.

Deng Tai'a and Dugu Qiubai are both close to the ceiling of human level in swordsmanship. It is impossible for them to be defeated in a fight, so they can only be appeased as much as possible.

Shaking his head, Yang Zhao's gaze quickly fell on the exquisite jade pendant and the relic.

These two items, like the jade talisman that left the image of Zhu Xi's preaching, the corpse of the Blood Wolf God, and the fragments of the Heavenly Gate, all have unimaginable benefits for Yang Zhao's improvement in the path of Taoism.

But now is not the time to retreat and concentrate on meditation.

After dealing with the monk Longshu of Liangchan Temple, the six martial arts forces that once stood on the side of Beiliang were all perfectly resolved by Yang Zhao.

The situation in the Song Dynasty at this time could almost be said to be at its most peaceful and prosperous period.

However, within the Gen Palace in Bian Jing, there lay the last and greatest internal threat to the entire Song Dynasty.

Once we deal with Emperor Zhao Ji and repel the attack from Northern Liang, the Song Dynasty will be stable.

As for the Buddhism in the Great Song Dynasty, it is not impossible to leave a trace of incense for it.

Yang Zhao was playing with the Tongwen Jade Token and the relic in his hands. He could already guess that the Sweeping Monk and the Longshu Monk must have deliberately used Dugu Qiubai and Deng Tai'a to give these two treasures to him.

Yang Zhao knew what he wanted and what he thought.

Chapter 307: Responses of the Major Dynasties

Zhang Fuyao of Shangyin Academy turned against Beiliang and, under the leadership of the Xie family in the north, has become a major pillar of the Song Dynasty court in the north, specializing in suppressing the former literati families and martial arts masters.

The Kong Mansion in Qingzhou, along with three Martial Saints including Kong Pingzhong, and a dozen celestial beings, were all killed.

Zhu Xi of Lianghuai, probably because of the change of the way of heaven, turned to Taoism and left. A sermon he gave before his death earned Yang Zhao unparalleled reputation among literati and Confucian scholars.

In Taohuawu, Jiangnan, Deng Tai'a, the former Peach Blossom Sword God, was so fooled by Yang Zhao's nonsense that he was at a loss.

The Wudang Sect in Jingchu was affected by the rebellion of Beiliang and was oppressed by Yang Zhao on the shore of Taihu Lake. The sect leader Wang Chonglou committed suicide, and all his descendants disappeared, including the Zhenwu sect.

The Wudang incident even caused severe damage to Longhu Mountain in the Song Dynasty.

At the Liangchan Temple in Xiangfan, the monk Nagarjuna and the monk Sweeping the Floor passed away one after another, which made the entire Buddhist community in the Song Dynasty tremble in fear.

The Song Dynasty was at peace.

Not to mention the forces within the Song Dynasty, even the entire Jiuzhou can see that the Song Dynasty is still on the verge of taking off and is about to enter a process of complete transformation.

And all this took only two or three years.

With the deliberate publicity of the Six Bats Hall of the Ming Cult, people soon learned that all of this started from the meeting between Ming Cult leader Yang Zhao and Nankang Princess Zhao Shirong in Jiangnan in late spring of that year.

With the assistance of Yang Zhao.

Zhao Shirong, the former ordinary Princess of Nankang.

In just two or three years, she took control of Gusu, pacified the south of the Yangtze River, executed the six thieves, rectified the imperial court, and resisted the northern invaders. She was even about to ascend the throne and become the first empress in the world of Kyushu.

In a sense, this was also a form of momentum building to intimidate Emperor Zhao Ji in the Gen Palace.

At the same time, all the major dynasties and forces in the world also obtained information about Yang Zhao.

The Qin Dynasty, Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, who was less than forty years old, wore a black dragon robe and rigorously reviewed a large number of memorials. Even though he said nothing, he was shrouded in a kind of humane majesty that made people awe-inspiring.

It lasted for two hours.

Ying Zheng put down the pen in his hand, slightly stretched his stiff neck, and lowered his eyes to the few people under the dragon table.

The people in the hall were Zhao Gao, Yueshen, Fusu, and several important officials of the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng's eyes were calm, yet they made people's hearts flutter. After a little thought, he said, "Zhao Gao, are you sure that the Wuji Immortal Pill fell into the hands of Yang Zhao?"

Zhao Gao had no expression on his face, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I am sure that the Wuji Immortal Pill has fallen into Yang Zhao's hands. The Yin-Yang family's Dongjun Yanfei and my sword slave Jingwei are all serving as maids and following Yang Zhao. According to intelligence, it has been at least two years."

Ying Zheng shifted his gaze to the Moon Goddess and said, "Moon Goddess, what do you, the Yin-Yang family, say?"

The Moon Goddess wore a veil on her face, and her figure was like an angel. She bowed to Ying Zheng and said coldly, "Your Majesty, the mastermind behind the theft of the pill was the Prince Dan of Yan. Concubine Yan is also guilty. After the head of my Yin-Yang family learned the news, he went to the Song Dynasty, but was stopped by the elder of the Hongnong Yang family and Zhao Pu of the Song Dynasty, so..."

The Moon Goddess had not finished her words, but her meaning was clear.

Behind Yang Zhao, there is the protection of the elders of the Hongnong Yang family, and he has also been recognized by Zhao Pu, a land immortal of the Song Dynasty. Such an identity is not something that can be easily taken advantage of.

The Martial Saint can be said to be the pillar of the dynasty.

But only the immortals on land are the real stabilizer, who can defeat an entire country alone.

With the protection of at least two land immortals, even the most powerful of the six dynasties, the Qin Dynasty, cannot act rashly.

Ying Zheng raised his hand and said, "Pardon Concubine Yan, grant her a bucket of Jingniu Sea Pearl, and send someone to contact Yang Zhao, telling him that our Great Qin can help him seize the throne of Song, or help him return to Sui, restore order, and kill Yang Guang."

"There is no need to hide this matter. We can announce it to the world and see how Song and Sui react."

Everyone agreed.

The capital of Ming Dynasty, Hulong Villa.

Zhu Wusi looked at the information sent by the spies below, frowned tightly, and glanced back and forth at the four major spies, Tiandi Xuanhuang, in the hall.

Shangguan Haitang was the first to speak, "Foster father, Yang Zhao is the grandson of the Sui emperor, and he is gaining power in Song. I'm afraid he wants to use the power of Song to return to Sui and seize the throne. Do we need to intervene? Perhaps..."

Zhu Wusi waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "No need. The Great Sui royal family is from the Hongnong Yang family, and the water is too deep. Besides, the emperor of the Great Ming is stubborn, the government is in chaos, the rivers and lakes are troubled, and the Mongolian Yuan foreign race has repeatedly invaded the border. I will not get involved in that muddy water."

Shangguan Haitang felt quite sorry and said, "Yes, godfather."

Zhu Wusi quickly collected the intelligence and sent the four spies away. Then he looked towards the direction of the palace and murmured, "The Song Dynasty is on the rise, and the Sui Dynasty is about to fall into chaos. My nephew, it's not that my uncle wants to seize your throne, but this great era is about to come, and you can't control the Ming Dynasty."

"Su Xin, just wait. I will succeed soon. When I succeed, I will surely make the Ming Dynasty stronger and have more power to look for Tianxiang Doukou. By then, I will make you the queen..."

The Yuan Dynasty, the Shengjing of the grassland.

In a huge, luxurious and magnificent palace, Kublai Khan's eyes swept over the people in the hall like an eagle or a wolf, with a suffocating aura of dominance and tyranny trembling continuously.

Prince Ruyang crossed his hands over his chest and said almost prostrating himself, "Your Highness, please forgive Chahan for being incompetent and unable to help the Mongols become stronger. I also allowed the magic master to take risks and fall into the Southern Song territory. Please punish me with death."

Beside Prince Ruyang were Zhao Min and Taoist Baisun.

Kublai Khan remained silent, just staring at the information handed over by Zhao Min. The words "Nine Martial Saints", "Deng Tai'a", "Wang Xianzhi", "Ling Donglai" and so on made his face look very ugly.

After a long while, Kublai finally spoke: "Chagan Temur, you should get up. The Eternal Heaven will decide your guilt."

"As for the matter of the magician, you and Minmin cannot be blamed. This was something that I agreed to. I just didn't expect that after the Song Dynasty had been in decline for more than a hundred years, those extremely powerful martial saints would still stick with us. It's really hateful..."

The Sui Dynasty, Daxing City, inside the Imperial Palace.

The entire study room was in a mess after being smashed and a large group of civil and military officials sat in silence.

Only Yang Guang had a gloomy look on his face, staring intently at a portrait of Yang Zhao on the dragon table.

"Waste, all waste..."

Chapter 308 Returning to Bianjing and forcing Zhao Ji to abdicate

The members of the Ming Cult didn't know yet that the information that Wu Jianzhang, Gao Zuo and He Ruobi had the Six Bats Hall pass on had already caused unusual movements throughout the entire Jiuzhou.

In just two or three years, Yang Zhao stirred up the situation in the Song Dynasty with his sharp means.

During this period, the abilities displayed by Yang Zhao made Wu Jianzhang, Gao Zuo, and He Ruobi on Guangmingding feel extremely surprised. They also kept passing Yang Zhao's information to Yang Jian, Dugu Jialuo and others in the dark of the Sui Dynasty.

In addition, after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, his ability to govern the Sui Dynasty was far less outstanding than Yang Jian and others had imagined.

Therefore, under the instruction of Yang Jian, Wu Jianzhang, Gao Zuo and He Ruobi asked Liufutang to deliberately spread Yang Zhao's deeds throughout the world.

The purpose was to speed up Yang Zhao's growth and let him return to the Sui Dynasty as soon as possible.

After all, the changes that had taken place in the Song Dynasty over the past two or three years had been witnessed by Wu Jianzhang, Gao Zuo, He Ruobi and others.

Such an outstanding grandson and heir is helping other countries to become better and better.

On the contrary, the changes in our own Sui Dynasty are far less than one-tenth of those in the Song Dynasty, which is really worrying.

If Yang Jian had not had such a high prestige.

Perhaps Wu Jianzhang, Gao Zuo, He Ruobi and others all felt resentful towards Yang Jian's past decision.

As for Yang Guang, Wu Jianzhang, Gao Zuo and He Ruobi, I can only say that the more I look at them, the more I dislike them.

At this time, Yang Zhao had no idea that someone was doing all kinds of weird things behind him.

After completely solving all the internal troubles of the Song Dynasty except Emperor Zhao Ji, Yang Zhao took a short rest for a few days in the Xichu Garden in Jiangnan, and then returned to Bianliang of the Song Dynasty with Huang Rong, Yan Fei and other women.

However, this time, Yang Zhao did not enter the princess's residence, but blatantly drove the carriage directly into the Song Dynasty Palace.

For a while.

The entire Song Dynasty court and Bianliang, inside and outside, were all shaking like a drum being hit by a heavy hammer.

"Damn it! Is this thief Yang Zhao planning to usurp the throne?"

"I really can't say. The princess is away, and the emperor is a useless person. No one cares."

"No one is in charge? Where are the officials in the court? The Eighth Sage King can definitely take care of it."

"Oh, you are a bunch of fools. Everyone knows that the officials in the court and the Eight Wise Kings are all in the same boat with Yang Zhao. So, isn't it good for the Song Dynasty if Yang Zhao and the princess take the throne?"

"Humph, if the Emperor Ji takes the throne, I won't say anything, but what right does Yang Zhao have?"

"No problem, I accept the Emperor Princess, but Yang Zhao cannot."

"Well, Yang Zhao seems to be the husband of the princess. Who knows, maybe they are two saints ruling the country."

"Damn, Yang Zhao is so lucky..."

As soon as Yang Zhao entered the palace, the Liufutang, which had developed quite well throughout Bianjing and its surroundings, began to operate at full capacity, controlling public opinion and constantly guiding it.

It's not just the Liufutang, but also part of the Imperial City Division, and the fireworks place controlled by the Yinkui Sect.

Even top court ministers like Xiao Qinyan had to take part in the event personally.

In just less than a day, the entire court and Bian Jing began to frantically discuss Yang Zhao and Zhao Shirong.

However, the core of this trend is the discussion.

But it is the throne of the Song Dynasty. Should Zhao Shirong take the throne, or should Zhao Shirong and Yang Zhao rule the country together?

Under the guidance of Liufutang, Huangchengsi, Xiao Qinyan, and even many famous prostitutes in Bianjing.

It is very puzzling that the current emperor Zhao Ji has been ignored by everyone.

It seemed that Zhao Ji's abdication had already been deeply rooted in people's minds.

It only took less than three days.

Just as Yang Zhao had expected, affected by this wave of rumors, Emperor Zhao Ji in the Gen Palace soon became unable to sit still.

After the 200,000-strong army was destroyed in a battle at Taihu Lake in Jiangnan.
