Chapter eight hundred and eighty fourth inquiry
"Yang...Yang Xingzhou?"
The guard at the door glanced at Huo Yu, then at the chariot of fire and the chariot of fire, with a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face: "Brother, you can't say this nonsense. Pretending to be an emperor's master is a death penalty!"
Huo Yu said angrily: "Why does my master need to pretend to be someone else? Boy, please tell me quickly. It's also your benefit. If you dare to stop me, you will inevitably be punished in the future."
Several guards looked at each other, and the leader said: "Everyone, please keep an eye on this car first, and then I will make a decision after I report it to your lord!"
Now he entered the city, found Yang Chengdu, the general who defended the city, and reported to him the news of Yang Xingzhou's arrival. Yang Chengdu was one of the twelve servants of the Yang Mansion in the past. So many servants were named gods by Zhang Yuanding and ascended to heaven, but he was the only one.
He stayed by Zhang Yuanding's side and never left. He always protected Zhang Yuanding and became the leader of the Royal Forest Army.
This shows Zhang Yuanding's trust in him, but it also shows his loyalty to Zhang Yuanding. He didn't even give up the chance to become a god, just to protect Zhang Yuanding's safety.
At this time, when he heard that Yang Xingzhou had arrived, Yang Chengdu was surprised and happy: "What? Mr. Yang is here? Don't worry, no one will impersonate him, and no one dares to impersonate him! Follow me to greet him!"
At that moment, he led his men and horses in a hurry out of the palace, came to Yang Xingzhou's car, looked at it for a moment, turned over and knelt down: "Chengdu pays homage to the master! I wish the master a long life, immortality, and immortality!"
Huo Yu jumped down from the carriage shaft and said with a smile: "Chengdu, are you on duty today?"
Yang Chengdu recognized Huo Yu and hurriedly stood up and said: "Yes, senior brother. Please wait a moment, I will go and report the news of your Majesty's arrival!"
Yang Xingzhou's clear voice came from the carriage: "Chengdu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your cultivation level hasn't improved much."
Yang Chengdu hurriedly knelt down again: "What I'm saying is that in recent years, with the busy government affairs and the large number of assassins, your majesty has destroyed countless countries and attracted countless enemies. These people are deliberately planning to assassinate your majesty. In order to capture the assassins, I made
I haven’t been able to rest for many days, and my skills have retreated instead of improving. I have really lost the master’s face!”
Yang Xingzhou sighed: "People in the officialdom, even if they are motivated by interests, will not waste the foundation of their lives. If you continue like this, your energy will not be strong, and you may lose your path to immortality in the future."
Yang Chengdu said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Your Majesty's safety is more important than Mount Tai. I dare not neglect it for a moment."
Yang Xingzhou said: "That's up to you."
After a while, the palace suddenly erupted with loud drums, music, and playing. The guards on both sides knelt down on one knee and said, "Welcome to the Emperor!"
The door was fully opened. Zhang Yuanding, dressed in casual clothes, led the civil and military ministers in the palace, the imperial concubine, the prince and grandson, and strode over under the protection of everyone.
After leaving the gate and arriving in front of the flaming chariot, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Disciple Zhang Yuanding, along with hundreds of officials and wives, respectfully welcome the teacher's holy chariot!"
Huo Yu smiled, jumped up from the carriage, opened the door, and said to Yang Xingzhou in the carriage: "Master, the current king Zhang Yuanding is here to welcome you!"
Yang Xingzhou then walked out of the carriage, came to Zhang Yuanding, stretched out his hand to support him: "Good boy, you did a good job. Come, let's go to the palace to talk."
At this time, Zhang Yuanding was working hard. Although he was pampered and had deep internal skills, he still showed a trace of old age. His temples were already shining. On the other hand, Yang Xingzhou had red lips and white teeth. He was a handsome young man, just like before, even more than when he was selling food in Hangzhou.
A bit energetic.
Just looking at their appearance, the two of them must be twenty or thirty years apart, and Zhang Yuanding is twenty or thirty years older than Yang Xingzhou, but everyone at the scene knew that Yang Xingzhou was Zhang Yuanding's teacher.
What kind of methods Yang Xingzhou has, these officials have never seen before, but his appearance alone is enough to show that Yang Xingzhou is very different from ordinary immortals.
Zhang Yuanding helped Yang Xingzhou stand up, asked his concubines and children behind him to greet Yang Xingzhou, and said with a smile: "Teacher, according to your instructions, I can stay in office for forty years at most. If the time is longer, I'm afraid there will be problems, so I'll call you in advance."
My dear prince, I will abdicate this year and let my son take the throne."
He looked at a tall young man standing next to him: "Xuanyu, come and kowtow to our ancestors!"
The booklet that Yang Xingzhou gave to Zhang Yuanding not only wrote down the methods of rebellion, but also how to secure a position after the rebellion was successful, and how to govern the country. Zhang Yuanding followed the secret strategy given by Yang Xingzhou and implemented it bit by bit, tremblingly.
I didn't dare to disobey in the slightest. As expected, no major deviations had occurred over the years. Even if there were minor setbacks, they could be dealt with quickly and continue to stabilize.
Now that his forty-year career as an emperor has come to an end, thinking of Yang Xingzhou's secret strategy of governing the country and the art of being a king, even if he was greedy for the throne, he would not dare to disobey the teacher's instructions at this time, so he began to prepare for the crown prince to succeed him.
.
When he met Yang Xingzhou in the city of Hangzhou and sold all his descendants to Yang Xingzhou, he was already in his forties. By the time he successfully rebelled, captured Hangzhou all the way, and then captured the city of Beijing and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he was already in his forties.
He is a man in his fifties, nearly sixty years old.
He has been the emperor for more than thirty years now, and he is already in his 70s. Although he does not look too old, his age is there after all, and he has indeed reached the age of abdication.
At his age, normal people would usually die long ago. Even though the country's national power is increasing, the life span of its people has not been fully improved. The average age is only over 40 years old, not even 50 years old.
, Zhang Yuanding can live for more than eighty years, and he is considered a longevity person among the emperors of the past dynasties.
His Zen position at this time is considered normal for anyone.
When people get old, they have to abdicate. There is nothing to say.
When he saw Yang Xingzhou at this time, he wanted to ask the teacher to bless his son. After asking the prince Zhang Xuanyu to kowtow to Yang Xingzhou, he said: "Teacher, this is the dog Xuanyu. He is quite clever. Can you see if he looks like a human king?"
?”
Yang Xingzhou laughed loudly: "Today, there are more than 300 righteous gods in the world, and more than 200 of them are your subordinates and acquaintances. They only care about the destiny of emperors in the world and have no intention of changing it. Who do you think is your successor?"
Whoever is the successor will be the successor, and there will be no one in heaven or on earth who will deliberately mess with his luck."
When he said this, he pondered: "But if your descendants are confused, ignorant, and incompetent, don't blame God for being ruthless, and ghosts and gods can't protect you."
Yang Xingzhou pointed to the sky: "You enshrine Mount Tai and all the gods, and the person you offend the most is the Jade Emperor. I hope that your descendants will make mistakes so that they can take the opportunity to retaliate and vent their bad breath. Hehe, what if the descendants of your Zhang family are like this?
If you have the guts, you might as well try to be a fool."
Zhang Yuanding shuddered and said: "Teacher, don't worry, the descendants of my Zhang family will never dare to be stupid and incompetent. I have made an agreement with Han Dian that if my children and grandchildren fail to live up to expectations and are incompetent and incompetent, he can take away their children in advance."
His soul will be captured and punished in Fengdu City to warn those who come after him!"
Yang Xingzhou smiled and said, "It's best if you have such a heart, so that I don't have to do it myself in the future."
He glanced at Zhang Xuanyu again: "The job of emperor is not easy to do. Before you become emperor, you'd better travel around the country as an ordinary person and understand for yourself the sufferings of the people. If you don't start from the grassroots, how can you do it?
Do you know the real situation in the country?”
Zhang Yuanding hurriedly said: "The disciple has followed the teacher's request and asked Xuanyu to serve as a guarantor in the countryside, a catcher, a county magistrate, a magistrate, and then joined the army to fight. He destroyed two countries in the west. During the war,
He has some talents, and he is quite familiar with the commander-in-chief of the army."
Yang Xingzhou smiled and said: "It would be best to practice for another year."
When he said this, he ordered Huo Yu next to him: "Huo Yu, take him to the east, west, north and south. Take a look at the sea, deserts, icebergs, mountains and poverty-stricken places. Hehe, huge mountains and rivers
, if you haven’t even traveled all over it, how can you know how vast the mountains and rivers are, and how big the area is? Only by being familiar with everything can you make effective judgments and avoid being a mediocre king."
Huo Yu said: "Yes!"
He reached out and grabbed Zhang Xuanyu's neck and said with a smile: "Boy, come with me!"
Catching Zhang Xuanyu, it suddenly jumped into the air, turned into a burst of fire, and disappeared in an instant.
There was a commotion among the imperial concubine and the prince and grandson nearby, and the queen shouted: "Bold Yang Xingzhou, how dare you act like this? Give me back..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Yuanding kicked him to the ground and cursed: "You blind bitch, how dare you disrespect the teacher, I'll beat you to death!"
He drew out the sword from his waist and struck at the queen.
Yang Xingzhou waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, don't let your palace be stained with blood because of me. This is not good. But your queen should really be punished. Let her go to a nearby farm to live for three years, living a simple life and farming.
Spending your days weaving is also a good way to sharpen your temper."
He chuckled and said: "Yang established the emperor and consecrated the gods. The emperor of heaven bowed his head and the Buddha frowned. How dare she, a little woman, be so rude to me? Are she really not afraid that her ancestral grave will crack?"
Zhang Yuanding kowtowed and said, "Disciple must be severely punished. Please forgive me, teacher! Please forgive me!"
Only those who are closer to Yang Xingzhou can better understand Yang Xingzhou's terror. Zhang Yuanding is a generational king with a high position and dares to challenge the Emperor of Heaven. He is only afraid of Yang Xingzhou. He knows that everything he has was given by his teacher Yang Xingzhou. Once Yang Xingzhou is no longer
I'm happy and can take it back at any time.
He, the queen, was so stupid that she was so rude to Yang Xingzhou. Even he didn't expect it. This time, he was really frightened to the extreme.
If your son is gone, you can regenerate, and if the queen is gone, you can remarry, but if the throne is gone, it will never be obtained again, and even the entire Zhang family will become the slaves of others.
When Yang Xingzhou saw Zhang Yuanding sweating on his forehead, he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, our master and apprentice have not seen each other for many years and we are just about to have a good chat. Let's leave him alone for the time being."
Zhang Yuanding said: "Yes, yes, yes, teacher, please come in and listen to the disciple report to you on what he has done over the years. If you have not done well, please correct me."
Immediately, Yang Xingzhou was invited to the main hall and discussed with Yang Xingzhou what he had done in the past thirty years. After finishing speaking, he said to Yang Xingzhou: "Teacher, thirty years ago, when I gave you an order, you said that I was short-sighted and could not achieve great things.
, Now that the territory under my jurisdiction is large and the people are numerous, it is as far away as the Han and Tang Dynasties. Can I give my order today?"
