Chapter 484 Finale
After Wulianghe died in battle, although the barbarians were still rushing up to surround and kill the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry, because the dragons had no heads, this meaningless persistence was over after persisting for several hours.
The million-strong army, the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry, killed less than 300,000 yuan, and the rest were already defeated and scattered. No matter how hard the supervisor team tried, they could not recover the scattered soldiers.
The main force of the barbarians was completely destroyed in this battle. As for the barbarians in Longbei, they were also led by Xu Boyuan to Dengying and Sinying Camp, killing nearly two-thirds of them.
After the Battle of Defense, Mo Zizai directly brought the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry to settle in the capital of the Defense Kingdom.
The ministers and families of the original defending country, when Wuliang came together, they all dared to compete with each other, which was quite similar to the barbarians.
But at this moment after Mo Zizai entered the capital, they were all honest and as quails as they dared not let Mo Zizai lead his troops to station in the palace. Facing Mo Zizai's orders, they didn't even dare to fight at all, and their execution ability was simply overwhelming.
After all, they knew Mo Zizai's reputation very well. He dared to kill half of the ministers in the Great Zhou court, let alone the ministers who defended the country.
Mo Zizai was not interested in staying in Weiguo. He waited in Weiguo's capital for more than a month. After the officials sent by Yang Weishang successfully took over Weiguo, he went straight back to the court.
Zheng Ying, the king of Zheng State who closely monitored the trend of this battle, finally understood why Xiao Yanbing vaguely persuaded him to surrender. The strength of the two sides was not of the same level and could not compete together.
So after he decided to win and lose in this battle, he began to deal with the ministers of Zheng State, those who often cause trouble for him and those who disliked him, he cut them all down.
On weekdays, because Zheng State still needs these ministers, and they have a wide connection, it is easy to cause bad influence if they move them. Therefore, although he, the king of the country, wanted to kill all the ministers in his heart, he could only give in vain.
But now it's time, he doesn't care about so many things, killing half of those people. After the treatment is almost done, he directly handed over the surrender to Dazhou.
In short, just one sentence, I quit doing it, I will do whatever I want.
After learning the news, Mo Zizai thought Zheng Ying, the lord of Zheng State, was quite interesting, so after discussing with Tang Weiyi, he directly granted Zheng Ying a false position as Zheng Wang, who had the position of a prince and a prince. He could receive salary according to the level of a prince and a prince every month, but he had no real power.
Moreover, King Zheng cannot be hereditary. After Zheng Ying dies, the throne will be taken back.
After all, Mo Zizai can suppress the Zheng Dynasty. It is hard to say whether the emperors of later generations can suppress it. So Mo Zizai doesn't want to leave such a big trouble for the funeral to be fun.
After receiving the news that Zheng State had surrendered, Lu State did not dare to hesitate anymore and directly offered a surrender statement.
However, because the king of Lu had the intention of speculation, and Mo Zizai didn't like this person very much, he was reluctant to give him a title, which was considered a comfort.
After all the Three Kingdoms were included in the territory, Mo Zizai directly broke up the original structure of the Three Kingdoms and incorporated the various counties and counties of the Three Kingdoms into the territory of the Wei Kingdom. In addition, Mo Zizai's original officials in the Three Kingdoms were almost useless, and all the officials from the Great Zhou Dynasty were transferred to the heads of the Three Kingdoms.
As for the officials with relatively good talents in the Three Kingdoms, Mo Zizai did not waste it and directly transferred them to the Great Zhou to be officials. Although they changed their positions, their official positions did not change much.
Originally, some ambitious people in the Three Kingdoms felt that Mo Zizai would not be able to take care of both the current Great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, they accumulated strength in secret, preparing to wait until Mo Zizai had no time to control them, and they would revolt again and separate the Three Kingdoms again.
But before they could take the idea, the steam train was placed directly at their doorstep, which not only brought fast transportation, but also cut off the ambitious people and searched the houses, and then used their money to continue laying the tracks forward.
There were warriors who accelerated Mo Zizai to work. The construction of these railway tracks was very fast. In just five years, they had already spread all over the world, directly connecting the new Great Zhou.
Although some of them are now trunk lines with initial scale and many small places have not been spread out, it is enough for the current Great Zhou.
What's more, the next few days were that as long as Mo Zizai was not dead, no one could overthrow his national policy, and the railway tracks could be laid until they were spread all over the corners of the Great Zhou.
In addition to these, Tang Weiyi also took five years to fully implement the new policy of the Great Zhou and reorganize the administration. From top to bottom, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was almost a new look, with vibrant scenes everywhere.
...
Inside the Great Zhou Palace.
"Xiao Lu, how about it?"
Mo Zizai looked at Tang Weilu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and slowly opened her eyes, and asked nervously.
"It's still not possible."
Tang Weilu shook her head and said, "It feels like there is still something missing, and it is difficult to change the true qi in a qualitative way."
Over the past ten years, the strength accumulated by Tang Weilu has reached an extremely terrifying level. She is also an accelerated human realm warrior. Now Qiu Wuping has no courage to fight with Tang Weilu. But I think the strength of the second tiger son Tang Weilu has been exaggerated to a point.
But the problem is that Tang Weilu's strong strength can never break through the shackles of the human realm.
Especially in the past two years, the true qi that Tang Weilu can accommodate seems to have reached its limit. If she continues to practice, her true qi will not increase much.
This situation made Mo Zizai feel helpless. He searched through all the ancient books of the Great Zhou Dynasty and finally found some words, saying that he wanted to break through to the human realm and change his true temperament to be reborn and step out of the human realm.
But the problem is that in the description of that book, transformation seems to be a natural thing, and there is no need for any special means, so there is no record of how to change the true temperament.
This made Mo Zizai feel helpless. He accompanied Tang Weilu to experiment with many methods, but unfortunately they were useless.
"Is it still not possible?"
Seeing that the attempt failed again, Mo Zizai couldn't help but feel helpless. He said, "Are you really going to Tianzhu Mountain?"
Before, Tang Weilu realized that something was wrong with the spiritual energy branch. Later, as Tang Weilu's strength became stronger, and Mo Zizai took time to take Tang Weilu to Tianzhu Mountain. Finally, it was confirmed that the true energy was indeed becoming more and more intense as it went north.
Moreover, the difference is not very big on the flat ground, but the higher the Tianzhu Mountain, the higher the concentration of true qi, the more obvious the difference.
This situation also made Mo Zizai understand why the legendary barbarians were originally very strong, but as they descended from Tianzhu Mountain, their strength was weaker than each generation.
This is because the spiritual energy on Tianzhu Mountain is rich. At that time, the barbarians living on Tianzhu Mountain lived in this spiritual environment. The starting point of their birth was much higher than that of the people at the foot of the mountain, so their overall strength was naturally far higher than that of the people at the foot of the mountain.
Later, as the barbarians moved down to Tianzhu Mountain, without that spiritual environment, the barbarians' strength will naturally decline overall, and each generation will be worse than the other.
However, because Tianzhu Mountain is too high and the situation above is unclear, Mo Zizai and Tang Weilu only looked up a little last time and did not go much further.
"Forget it, don't go."
Hearing Mo Zizai say this, Tang Weilu refuses. After all, the situation above is unclear. They don’t know when they will come back after they go.
But Tang Weiyi is still the emperor and cannot go with them. Tang Weilu naturally doesn't want to leave her sister here alone.
"It's okay, go if you want to."
Mo Zizai also knew Tang Weilu’s concerns. He touched Tang Weilu’s head and said with a smile: “I’ll find a way to your sister.”
Now, the Great Zhou Dynasty has become regular. In order not to make Tang Weiyi so tired, Mo Zizai asked the cabinet to share a lot of power. Now, unless it is a major event, the cabinet will make the decision. Emperor Tang Weiyi, as a ruler, seems much more idle, and only needs to hold a morning court every day.
Therefore, if Tang Weiyi disappeared for a while, there would be no emperor in this Great Zhou for the time being, so there should be no big problem.
Of course, if an ordinary emperor dares to do this, he will definitely be incapable of being undermined, and it is normal for powerful ministers to usurp the throne.
But Mo Zizai was not worried about this. Now the military power is basically in his palm. Even if these cabinet masters have ideas, what can they do?
What's more, in order to make these ministers have a good body, Mo Zizai also opened the position of the accelerator to them. In other words, these ministers were basically held in his palms.
Therefore, unless Mo Zizai did something that was angry and resentful, and let these ministers sacrifice their lives and reject them, otherwise, the great Zhou dynasty would be as stable as an old dog.
After getting an idea in his heart, Mo Zizai first told Tang Weiyi that after being the emperor for so many years, Tang Weiyi never fell in love with this feeling of being in power.
After Mo Zizai talked about this, she felt that there would be no problem with the current cabinet handling the political affairs of the Zhou Dynasty. In addition, if Xiao Lu breaks through, it would have brought great changes, so she agreed to this matter without much hesitation.
If Tang Weiyi agrees to this matter, it will be much easier to deal with. However, because he is worried that the ministers' opposition is too fierce, Mo Zizai does not reveal this at the beginning, but let Tang Weiyi stop for a few days of morning court.
After these ministers got used to Tang Weilu's failure to attend the morning court, Mo Zizai pulled another person to the cabinet. The six cabinet ministers have now become seven.
In this way, if there are any different opinions between the cabinets, they only need to vote to determine the direction of their opinions.
Of course, as the chief minister of the cabinet, Mo Zizai gave him a veto. To be honest, this power was only subordinate to the emperor before, but Mo Zizai had absolute trust in Yang Weishang, so he asked him to command the cabinet.
If Yang Weishang unilaterally feels that there is something wrong with the cabinet, even if the cabinet agrees, Yang Weishang can reject the cabinet's opinion and submit the matter to the emperor.
Of course, if the emperor is not here, then it is up to Yang Weishang, the chief minister of the cabinet.
After completing the cabinet system, Mo Zizai took Tang Weilu to the world, today he went to Yancheng, the world's number one city, tomorrow he went to the capital of the old Wei Kingdom, the day after tomorrow he went to the capital of the old Zheng Kingdom. He even went to visit Zheng Ying, who was idle at home and started studying steam trains, and he looked like he was traveling around.
This has caused great opinions from the cabinet, especially the cabinet chief Yang Weishang.
Because logically speaking, his son Yang Yanzhang is in charge of the strongest army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry, so he, as the chief assistant, should avoid suspicion and retire as soon as possible.
But the problem is that Mo Zizai not only refused to let him retire, but instead gave him more power, which made him feel helpless.
Especially recently, Emperor Tang Weiyi, who is no longer in the capital, has followed Mo Zizai to wander around the world, which makes Yang Weishang even more helpless.
Because although the empress Tang Weiyi, the empress, has already started to be in charge of things, after all, she is in the capital. If something really happens, they can still go to the empress to discuss countermeasures and ask the empress for her opinion.
But now, people are no longer in the capital, and their cabinet handles big and small matters, making their cabinet look like the emperor.
But Mo Zizai abducted everyone. Now they are thousands of miles away, so they dare not blame Mo Zizai, so after a long time, they get used to it.
As a result, after they got used to it, Mo Zizai went out for half a year and went back to bring them a big news, saying that they were going to Tianzhu Mountain, and their return date was unknown, which may be one or two months, or one or two years, so the government affairs during this period were handed over to them.
"I just knew..."
Yang Weishang looked at Mo Zizai with a little bit of a look of slight expression. He knew that Mo Zizai suddenly took the empress out and tested their bottom line step by step. He must have some plans. Now it seems that it is true.
But now, their cabinet has been dealing with the government affairs for half a year when Tang Weiyi was away. Even if they oppose it, they can't come up with a better reason now.
Therefore, looking at the noisy and firmly opposed the cabinet, Yang Wei couldn't help but rub his eyebrows with a headache. After a long time, he spoke to stop the words of the cabinet masters and said, "Prince, you should have planned this matter very early. The old minister knows that you have decided on your mind, and it will be useless to persuade him again, so the old minister won't say much."
"But the situation in Tianzhu Mountain is not clear, and it is said that there are some barbarians living on it, so there is one thing that you must follow the old minister."
"Otherwise, if you insist on leaving, the old minister will retire and return home."
“…”
Looking at Yang Weishang with a firm tone, Mo Zizai felt a little guilty. He laughed dryly, and then said, "Old Yang Ge is so serious. I just made up my mind to go to Tianzhu Mountain to have fun. It's not that serious."
"But, if you have something to do, it's okay to say it. I will follow you if you can do it."
Yang Weishang did not expose Mo Zizai either. He shook his head and said, "Tianzhu Mountain is no better than other places. If the prince has to go, there must be a Red Flame Dragon Knight following the prince."
"Red Flame Dragon Knight..."
Mo Zizai thought for a while and felt that what Yang Weishang said was very reasonable. After all, what is the situation on Tianzhu Mountain is still hard to say. If there is an army, no matter what situation he encounters, he will not be in any danger. "Okay, I agree to this."
...
After Mo Zizai discussed this matter with the cabinet, Mo Zizai and Tang Weiyi, Tang Weilu and Mei Shuying took five thousand Red Flame Dragon Cavalry to Tianzhu Mountain.
As for what was on Tianzhu Mountain, this matter is unknown, but Mo Zizai and his group came back after only staying in Tianzhu Mountain for more than a year.
However, after he came back, Mo Zizai stayed for a few years and threw the throne into his sixth uncle, while he himself disappeared from the Great Zhou Dynasty and rarely appeared again.
And those who disappeared with him were Tang Weiyi, Tang Weilu sisters, and Mei Shuying.
In addition to them, Mo Zizai's absolute confidants were also gone, such as Zhou Qi, Yang Yanzhang, and the Red Flame Dragon Knight...
According to folk legend, it is said that behind Tianzhu Mountain, there is another world, and it is a world where strong people are everywhere. After King Zizai took the Empress to abdicate, he took the Red Flame Dragon Knight to Tianzhu Mountain and conquered the world again.
As for whether this legend is true, what kind of world is behind Tianzhu Mountain, this is another story.
