Chapter 195: The Age of Priests
Taoist Taizhen entered the palace late at night, walked all the way to the sword to control the wind, avoided the heavy guards in the night, and entered the emperor's bedroom.
The Emperor of Great Zhou had already gone to bed and suddenly woke up when he heard the footsteps outside.
The life over the years has made it a little more frightened, and a little movement makes it look like a frightened bird.
"Who?"
Taoist Taizhen came forward at this time, and with the moonlight, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty saw that it was an old Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe.
"Taizhen Taoist, I'm visiting late at night, I hope the emperor will not blame him."
"Long live my emperor."
When I met with the Taoist Taizhen whom the King of Northern Han, Zhu Cheng, had been holding on to him, this time I seemed extremely respectful, as if I really admired the emperor. Even though the Great Zhou has fallen to this day, I still missed the Great Zhou and were loyal to the Great Zhou.
"It turned out to be Taoist Master Taizhen. I wonder what happened when I came late at night?" The Emperor of Great Zhou's voice was a little surprised, but he was still calm and sophisticated.
Even though the Emperor of Great Zhou was under house arrest, he had heard the name of Taoist Taizhen. This was already the most famous Taoist master of this era.
He still trusts Buddhist disciples very much, perhaps because of the former sword immortal Yan Chixia's rich spirit of killing immortals and killing gods, or the former Grand Zhou national teacher Zhang Shanshui's spirit of dying for the country and the people.
Taoist Taizhen: "There is not much time, so I can only tell a long story."
"I am helping the emperor regain control of the world and restore the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou."
After Taoist Taizhen left, the emperor did not sleep all night.
A few days later, the kings returned to their fiefdoms one after another. The King of Lu also led the King of Lu to the previous Han Jing, and occupied the capital of the previous Great Zhou Dynasty, and drove the real Emperor of the Great Zhou to the so-called Shenjing in the Southern Han Dynasty.
Then, as Taizhen Taoist said, a military general named Wu Zhang was sent by King She Chao of Lu to serve as the general of the imperial guards, responsible for the day and night patrols and palace vigilance of the entire Shenjing, as well as the emperor's travel.
The King of Lu firmly controlled the emperor in Shenjing. The so-called Great Zhou court was also composed of officials sent by the kings, and the kings even occupied high positions in the temple. For example, King of Lu She Chao also served as the title of General of the Protective Country and Prime Minister.
The dignified emperor can only sit on it like a puppet, at the mercy of others.
The so-called Great Zhou court can actually control the affairs of the city of Shenjing. The fiefs of Lu, Chu, Shu and Wu were surrounded by Shenjing.
Even so, Lu, Chu, Shu, and Wu were still worried about the emperor, and for the King of Lu, it was not his purpose to just launch a Great Zhou emperor to press on his head.
King Lu started his best arrangement in Shenjing with his post as a general of the country and prime minister, and wanted to erode and annex countries little by little with political means and push his prestige to the top. This method was actually the most difficult method for these kings, princes and vassal states who were born in the country and military.
But before he could start, a series of combination punches in secret directly confused the proud King She Chao of Lu.
First, Yunxi County had been in contact with the King of Lu. Murong Yanchao, who wanted to surrender to King of Lu, She Chao, suddenly entered the pass and fought back, and surrendered to the Emperor of the Great Zhou in the name of serving the king.
Then, Wu Zhang, the general of the imperial guards who was used by King She Chao of Lu, turned against the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
A major change occurred in the entire Shenjing. Wu Zhang, who seemed loyal to She Chao, purged the entire Great Zhou court and the forces of the kings in the Shenjing, especially King She Chao of Lu.
That night, blood flowed into a river, and soldiers and generals could be seen everywhere searching for King She Chao of Lu.
However, King She Chao of Lu was also very scheming. He had prepared a substitute and stayed in the mansion. He fled to Shenjing overnight and then escaped from Hanjing and was almost left directly in Shenjing.
After King She Chao of Lu escaped, he was so angry that he immediately formed an army to join forces with other kings to fight back to Shenjing again.
At this time, the painting wall appeared on the Xianxiantai of Shenjing again.
Murong Yanchao entered the southern part of Han and successively guided several cities, proclaiming his allegiance to the Emperor of Great Zhou. He was named the General of the Protective Country by the Emperor of Great Zhou. Wu Zhang, the original general of the Imperial Guard, was named Prime Minister for the recovery of Shenjing and Tianhan County.
The two formed a balance and became the powerful ministers and cornerstones of the New Zhou court.
The emperor even appointed Taoist Taizhen as the national teacher, and then rebuilt the Imperial Heavenly Prison, where the Immortal Old Man was in charge of the Imperial Heavenly Prison.
The monk Wudeng was appointed as Wudeng's master, and was responsible for establishing the Daolusi, which was in charge of all the priests in the world and sacrifices to the gods.
The painting wall of the Heavenly Palace is enshrined on the Xianxiantai. In the hands of others, this may be just a stone. However, Taoist Taizhen is not allowed to be a monk. The painting wall of the Heavenly Palace in the hands of the Immortal Old Man is different. It is a magical tool that can control the situation in the world.
In addition, the Emperor of the Great Zhou, who was originally alone, suddenly had tens of thousands of soldiers and so many loyal people.
More importantly, the kings had helped him again as the emperor before, and now he is still the real master of the world.
The world was in an uproar. King Lu, King Shu, King Chu, and King Wu all felt that they were a little playful. The emperor, who was just a puppet before, had already escaped control.
And more importantly, neither party is sure that they are sure to conquer Hanjing again.
If you are not careful, it is likely that you will be like the previous Southern Han and Northern Han, and you will be able to get a bargain by others in the end.
In Hanjing, King She Chao of Lu suddenly sighed after seeing the defender of the city at Pegasuskou and fled and lost the city.
He knew that he might never have the chance to get into that position again.
She Chao seemed to grow old in an instant: "It's a mess, you'll finish your singing."
"In the end, I don't know who I made wedding clothes for."
———————————————
Tong Xingzhou stood on the Xianxiantai platform, wearing a monk's robe and silently chanting the scriptures. In the end, he became ethereal and heavy, and the Zen sound and Sanskrit sing sounded within a hundred meters. Even a Buddha light came down from the sky to cover him.
Wu Zhang, the prime minister of the Great Zhou who had just taken office, came on stage and looked at Tong Xingzhou: "How? Can you use the power of the painting wall of this Heavenly Palace to be the same as Nie Xiaoqian in the past?"
Tong Xingzhou shook his head: "Nie Xiaoqian ascended at the last moment of the Dharma-Ending Calamity in the Heaven and Earth. The opportunity has been missed and it is impossible to have it again."
"But! It seems that Yan Chixia left something in the painting wall of this Heavenly Palace."
"I hope I can see through the mystery."
Wu Zhang said, "It may be a waste. I am now the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I will not participate in the work of painting walls and priests in the Heavenly Palace."
The palace gate of Xianxiantai closed, as if it divided the inside and outside into two worlds.
Since then, batches of sacrifices have emerged from this Xianxiantai.
Daolushi, the Imperial Heavenly Prison, some of these people are good at refining weapons and metallurgy, and can control the sky fire, some are good at the Five Elements of Dunjia, some are good at military Taoism, and some are good at various secret techniques and calculation of the secrets of heaven.
These priests who take the painting wall of the Heavenly Palace as the core and control the mysterious power eventually appeared one by one, with sects and aristocratic families as the main force, which controls the situation in the world.
On the surface, it looks like the world of the Great Zhou, but in fact it is a situation of separatist rule by the princes. If you look closely, the various princes and even the Great Zhou Dynasty are controlled by these aristocratic families and sects that are mainly priests.
The world is under the control of the priest, and the situation is like the Warring States Period. The priest has been in charge of the world behind the scenes.
This era gradually brought curtains to such a chaos controlled by princes, families and priests.
No one can change the times. Everyone is just the time of the priest and the background under the painted wall of the Heavenly Palace.
In this movie, all the dream actors began to leave the scene one after another, either dying of old age or dying of illness, leaving the world one by one.
The end of the story.
Many years later, among the many aristocratic families, one of the most powerful aristocratic families seized the Painted Wall of the Heavenly Palace and the Dayin Dynasty was established.
After the establishment of the dynasty, all major sects, families, and priests were killed, and they were able to get rid of this chaotic situation.
