Chapter 473: The Court Matters Are Decided (6k4)

"Chen Sheng has great righteousness in his heart. I thank you on behalf of the people of Zhongzhou."

After hearing Chen Mu's words, Lu Zongxi bowed to Chen Mu again, and a trace of relief appeared in his eyes.

In his early years, Chen Mu worked as an official in a remote corner of Hanbei. When he left, there were even thousands of people seeing him off. This matter has now spread as Chen Mu's fame spread. Now Chen Mu has become the world's best and invincible, but he still does not turn a deaf ear to the people and never ignores them. It is indeed a blessing for the people.

"It's not a great righteousness, it's just a little effort."

Chen Mu shook his head slightly.

He has never been a saint with great righteousness in his heart, otherwise he would not have entered Zhongzhou and swept across Kyoto in one day to settle the past cause and effect and old grudges at once. He just crawled out from the bottom and knew the suffering of the people. For him now, wanting the world to be stable is just a little effort, so he naturally doesn't mind deciding the world with one word.

Chen Mu looked at the original map in his hand again, then put it away, and then walked out of the hall with Lu Zongxi. As the two of them were leaving the hall, Lu Zongxi suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, does Chen Sheng know about the Kunlun Discussion of Dao?" "Palace Master Lu is talking about the discussion of the heaven and man on the top of Kunlun Mountain two years later." Chen Mu nodded and said. Lu Zongxi nodded and said, "Yes, when you reach Chen Sheng's realm, you must know the martial arts of the world. The seven realms before the body tempering are all perfect, but when you reach the realm of blood exchange, there is no more guidance. Therefore, every thirty years, the heavenly masters who explore the future of martial arts in the world will discuss the future of martial arts at the top of Kunlun Mountain. I wonder if Chen Sheng is interested."

Chen Mu has walked out of the hall at this time, looking up at the blue sky in the distance, and laughed: "Heavenly man discusses the way... Speaking of which, Chen has not yet fully understood the unity of heaven and man. If I force myself to climb the mountain, wouldn't it be a joke? If Chen can understand the realm of heaven and man in two years, I will not be absent and will meet at the top of Kunlun Mountain to discuss the martial arts of the world with you seniors."

After that.

Chen Mu did not stop and stepped forward.

Lu Zongxi stood in front of the martial arts hall, watching Chen Mu go away, and shook his head slightly.

With Chen Mu's current martial power, he is not a god, but better than a god. Who dares to underestimate Chen Mu? Who dares to stop Chen Mu from climbing Kunlun Mountain to discuss the Dao? Even if it is the tacit understanding of the martial artists in the world for countless years, Chen Mu can completely ignore it.

But at Chen Mu's level, face is naturally more important than anything else. He obviously feels that climbing to the top of Kunlun Mountain with martial power and participating in the discussion of the gods is a bit inferior. He must climb to the top at the level of gods to live up to the name of martial saint.

There are still two years before the discussion of the Dao in Kunlun.

Chen Mu's innate comprehension is naturally undoubted in the world today. He is the first person in the world. Now he has obtained the original eight phases diagram. It is not impossible to comprehend the third step of the artistic conception within two years and enter the level of gods.

Today's Chen Mu is invincible in the world, and has pushed the physical practice in the body tempering martial arts to an unprecedented level. If the artistic conception enters the level of gods, it is unimaginable how powerful it will be.

In fact,

He was still very concerned about this Kunlun Discussion.

Because this might be the last time he would participate in the Kunlun Discussion. Now he no longer asked himself to break the shackles of heaven and earth and enter the realm of God. He only hoped that before his death, he could add a few more strokes to the "Martial Classic" as much as possible, and guide the future generations a few more steps forward. Only in this way can he not be born in vain and walk through this world.

...

Imperial City.

Front Hall.

This is a palace located in front of the Golden Palace. Compared with the Golden Palace, it is slightly smaller. It is usually used as a place for court officials to prepare before going to court. However, since the Golden Palace was damaged in the previous battle and could not be restored in a short time, including Zhao Lie, the chief of the Supervisory Department, all the important officials of the court gathered in the front hall.

Although the front hall is smaller than the Golden Palace, it is still an extremely magnificent and solemn palace. It can accommodate dozens or hundreds of people without being crowded. The whole hall is still very spacious.

However.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the front hall was depressing, and the air seemed to be filled with gunpowder.

"...You Red Leaf Sect are really overbearing. Not only did you seize the Guyang Mountains of my Guiyun Sect, but you also intended to get involved in Pingyun Lake. My Guiyun Sect has been in a downturn in recent years, but you can't do whatever you want."

Someone sneered.

"Old ghost Shen, my junior brother died in the hands of your people. You should give me an explanation."

Someone spoke in a cold tone.

At this moment, the entire palace gathered nearly 30 blood exchange masters. As the top blood exchange figures in the world, they came from various sects. Naturally, there were many old grudges between them. However, they were in the imperial city at the invitation of Chen Mu. They could restrain themselves and did not fight each other, but they were still inevitably confronted.

Zhao Lie and other important officials in the court frowned when they saw this scene, and they also felt a little headache.

As high-ranking and powerful officials, their status in the court of Daxuan is extremely important. How could ordinary people in the martial arts world dare to be so presumptuous in front of them? But the problem is that the martial arts people present at this moment are not ordinary people!

Any one of them is a famous blood exchange master, a supreme figure who is famous in the world, so even if they are confronting each other, causing the entire front hall to be depressed and chaotic, they can hardly control the situation for a while.

"Everyone."

Shangguan Nan, the chief of the Demon Slaying Division, saw that the atmosphere in the front hall was becoming more and more depressing, and the hostility between the masters of the Blood Exchange Realm was becoming more and more intense, with signs of a fight at any time, and finally spoke in a deep voice.

As the chief of the Demon Slaying Division, Shangguan Nan's name was also very loud. Although he was not a master of the Heavenly Man, he was also recognized as one of the strongest Blood Exchange Realm in the world, and almost the top figure under the Heavenly Man.

As soon as he spoke, many people in the field looked over.

"We are gathered here today, invited by that person, to discuss the affairs of the eleven states of Gyeonggi Province. I hope you will put aside the old grudges for the time being, and wait for that person to come here to decide the future affairs of Gyeonggi Province together."

"Otherwise, if we fight here and anger that person, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end it at that time."

Shangguan Nan spoke in a deep voice.

As the chief of the Demon Slaying Division, he was naturally not afraid of any of the blood-changing Supremes present, nor of the Jianghu people from these sects and forces, but the problem was that with his name, he could not calm so many people, so he had to bring up Chen Mu.

Although he only referred to him as "that person", everyone present naturally knew who Shangguan Nan was talking about. For a moment, the people who had hatred for each other looked at each other coldly and then temporarily calmed down.

Some people slowly sat down and drank tea indifferently.

For everyone present, although Shangguan Nan made them wary, they were not afraid of him, but Chen Mu was different. Today, Chen Mu swept across Kyoto and was invincible in the world. Once Chen Mu was angered, it would only take a turn to uproot their entire sect. Although they were all large sects that ruled their own side, no one felt that they were qualified to compete with the entire court.

Today, they were invited by Chen Mu, but they were actually forced to come because of Chen Mu's intimidation. In fact, they were also afraid of Chen Mu, but they had to come. After all, this was to decide the future of Zhongzhou, and even the subsequent rule of the eleven states of Gyeonggi Province. If someone did not come, being excluded would be a small matter, but if it fell into Chen Mu's eyes and made Chen Mu unhappy, that would be a big trouble!

Therefore, after receiving the invitation, almost all the supreme figures of the major sects came together.

Although they had conflicts with each other, some even reached the point of fighting to the death, it was indeed unwise to argue here, and no one wanted to make a fuss too conspicuous at this time.

The front hall soon fell into silence.

As time passed, other people entered the front hall one after another, causing some waves, but no more disputes. Everyone put aside their previous grievances for the time being, and at most closed their eyes to rest, out of sight, out of mind.

All the people gathered in the front hall were in the blood exchange realm, and they did not need water or food, but the court still had servants who came from time to time to serve snacks and tea, and did not dare to neglect or be rude.

At this moment, almost no voices could be heard in the front hall. Some people tried to communicate, and they also discussed with each other through the method of voice transmission. The front hall where dozens of people gathered was quiet until a few hours later, a voice came from outside the hall.

"Master Chen is here!"

This was the voice of a palace eunuch.

In fact, there was no need for the eunuch to transmit the voice. Many blood exchange masters in the front hall, the sect's supreme leader, and even important officials of the court such as Shangguan Nan, all cast their eyes outside the hall, looking at the figure walking slowly from outside the hall.

Chen Mu did not deliberately conceal his breath. He just walked into the hall in simple clothes with a calm expression. Almost everyone present couldn't help but show a bit of solemnity and awe when their eyes fell on Chen Mu.

Chen Mu swept Kyoto with his unparalleled skills. Almost half of the people present saw it all. They all knew how terrifying Chen Mu's strength was. The title of Martial Saint was absolutely not an exaggeration.

In the front hall.

There was silence.

When Chen Mu stepped into the hall, almost all the seated Taishangs of various sects and even the important officials of the court stood up one after another. No one dared to sit in front of Chen Mu.

Under the attention of many Jianghu figures and important officials of the court, Chen Mu did not show any overwhelming momentum. He just stepped in calmly and walked into the hall step by step. He did not go straight to the main seat. He glanced at the people present and then bowed slightly.

"I am Chen Mu, and I am honored to meet you all."

"I am honored to meet Chen Sheng."

"I am honored to meet Lord Chen."

The many great sects present did not dare to neglect and returned the greetings to Chen Mu one after another. The important officials of the court, such as Shangguan Nan and Zhao Lie, also bowed to Chen Mu, but the respectful titles for Chen Mu were slightly different and more official.

Chen Mu looked at Shangguan Nan, Zhao Lie and other important officials of the court, and said in a calm tone: "Chen is just a secular warrior, not a great man. I invited you all here today to formulate some rules for the future affairs of the capital."

"I dare not."

Zhao Lie and others responded to Chen Mu.

Seeing Chen Mu calmly walk to the main seat and sit down, Zhao Lie and many other court officials also felt a little sad. Just think about it, a few years ago, they had tried to invite Chen Mu to Kyoto, wanting to win over Chen Mu, stand on the side of the court officials, and let Chen Mu get rid of the disputes among the eight kings and avoid chaos in the world in the future.

As a result, in just a few years, Chen Mu cultivated to the blood exchange realm and reached the level of personal martial arts that was invincible in the world. He didn't even need to develop his power. He suppressed the entire royal family with his own strength. It was still a bit incredible to think about it.

"The world is divided into nine parts today, and I have no intention of unifying it for the time being."

After Chen Mu took his seat at the main table, he spoke first. This sentence also surprised many people in the room, but some people did not find it strange and their expressions remained very calm.

With the strength that Chen Mu has shown now, it may be an exaggeration to say that he can unify the country in a single thought, but it does not take much effort. In just a few seconds, he can rebuild the world, open up a new dynasty, and create the world of the Chen family.

But precisely because it is just a matter of a few seconds to ascend to the position of Ninth Five-Year Plan, this position may not be very attractive to Chen Mu. After all, he has transcended the world and is above the ordinary. If one thought can determine the ownership of the entire world and determine where the world will go, then the position of emperor will be nothing more than a cloud of dust.

"In the past, someone once said that the general trend of the world will be united for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. The Daxuan court has been ruling the world for thousands of years, and the two generations of emperors have gone against the rules, so that the government has been corrupted and the people have no life. But today, Jiufen is in perfect harmony with all parties. Starting anew and reshaping the New Deal will be a good thing for the common people in the world, as long as there is no war. "

Chen Mu said slowly: "Therefore, I have no intention of changing the current structure of the world. This nine-point land of Daxuan is suitable for mutual supervision. Whoever does well will continue to govern. If he does poorly, he will be replaced by someone with integrity and talent." Those who rule it.”

After listening to Chen Mu's words, many important officials of the imperial court and even the supreme figures of various sects were surprised, but they were slightly relieved in their hearts. What they were most worried about was that Chen Mu was dissatisfied with the current situation of the world and wanted to make some changes. , relying on force to change the world into what it wants to see, then chaos will inevitably arise again.

As a result, Chen Mu was more indifferent to the situation of the world than they expected. He didn't even care to declare that the world was divided into nine points and each of the nine points had their own affairs. He also felt that the current situation was in line with the development and changes of the world, so he supported it to a certain extent.

If the governance is not good, then people with good governance will govern it.

This sentence almost set the tone for the future of the world. Don't look at the nine points of the world. The kings of Jin, Chu, etc. all divided themselves into separate kingdoms, including Yuan Hong, the king of Zhenbei, who also occupied Hanbei. However, Chen Mu's words Therefore, all the kings in the world are still just subjects, ministers responsible for managing their fiefdoms.

Even Chen Mu's will is more shocking than the will of the imperial court in the past, because in the past, even the Daxuan imperial court would not arbitrarily deal with the Taoist jurisdiction of Hanbei Road, Shangyong Road and other places. After all, in the past, it could Those who rule over a place are all real feudal officials. They all have important positions in the court, and they are not likely to be weak in the blood exchange realm.

Even the current Emperor Xuan of the Taoist government who wanted to change a place had to consider the entanglements of many forces.

But Chen Mu is different.

Once Chen Mu wants to do something, no one dares to disobey him. He will not consider any power entanglements or complicated court politics. He will only rely on his unrivaled personal force to decide the outcome with a flip of his palm!

A person who wields supreme force and acts based on his own joy and anger is above the whole world. No one is afraid of him. If the Supervision Department is to monitor the world and inspect all officials, then Chen Mu is like a god. Overlooking the human world.

Zhao Lie, the chief of the Supervision Department, had a slight glimmer in his eyes at this time.

As the chief of the Supervision Department, he oversees the administration of hundreds of officials. He has great power and is feared by the government and the public. However, he is still a minister after all. Faced with the perverse behavior of two generations of emperors, he has no choice but to sigh in his heart.

The Supervisory Department can supervise hundreds of officials and subordinates, and the emperor controls and supervises the Yamen Bureau. Who can supervise the emperor?

No one could do it in the past.

Even when the world is in chaos and the rule of the Daxuan court is weak, Emperor Xuan is still the most powerful and the lord of the world. No one dares to offend and rules the whole world!

but now,

Chen Mu can do it!

Going to Kyoto alone and pacifying the imperial city in one day, Chen Mu used his unparalleled force to demonstrate that one person can be above the imperial power and above the emperor. From now on, as long as Chen Mu is around, even if The emperor can no longer act recklessly, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, and work hard to govern.

The perverse actions of the past will never return, and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings will never reappear.

"The world has been in chaos for a long time. If we divide it into nine points and rule it, we can indeed start anew and reshape the new government. But today, in this land of 11 states in Gyeonggi Province, we don't know how to govern it?"

This sentence was not asked by Zhao Lie and other courtiers, but by the old owner of Tiance Village cautiously.

Tiancezhuang is one of the eleven states in Gyeonggi Province and occupies a force in Liuzhou. The nine points of the world do not have a great influence on them. He does not care about the governance of other countries, but the future of the eleven states in Gyeonggi Province Where to go is an important question.

Chen Mu glanced at the old owner of Tiance Village and said: "Chen is a martial artist and has no achievements in governance. If it comes to governance, it should naturally be arranged by the ministers of the imperial court."

He finished.

He turned to look at Zhao Lie, Shangguan Nan and even Han Kuo, the chief minister of the cabinet, who were on the other side.

Although Han Kuo, the chief minister of the cabinet, has gray hair, his face is stern and his eyes are firm, giving people a sense of awe. As a person in the Daxuan court, who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, it is natural that he He is both civilized and military. When it comes to martial arts, he once shocked Zhongzhou. He is a top figure in the blood exchange realm. When it comes to civilized governance, he is also a great Confucian, with disciples and disciples all over the government and the public.

But at this moment, the chief minister of the cabinet, who could be regarded as the actual helmsman of the Daxuan court after the death of Emperor Xuanfei Ji Xuanfei at the hands of Chen Mu, behaved very cautiously in front of Chen Mu.

"what do you mean……"

Han Kuo looked at Chen Mu and asked cautiously.

Chen Mu said in a calm tone: "From the descendants of the Ji family, choose a young, virtuous and talented person to inherit the throne. Mr. Han and other courtiers will assist Emperor Xuan in running the government. I hope that you can assist with your wholeheartedly and work hard to govern. Don't let it happen." Zhongzhou is in trouble again."

After hearing Chen Mu's words, Han Kuo was slightly startled, then took a deep breath and said solemnly: "If this is the case, I will do my best to assist the new emperor in order to ensure the stability of the world."

He and other courtiers will assist the young and talented people from the Ji family. This is completely different from the past when Emperor Xuan ruled the world. This means that the political affairs of the entire Daxuan court will no longer be determined by Emperor Xuan's words. The decision will be made by courtiers like them!

Even from Chen Mu's words, it can be heard that they are also responsible for the new emperor's 'morality', that is, guiding, teaching, admonishing, and even regulating the new emperor.

It can be said that from now on, although the person sitting on the throne will still have the surname Ji, the imperial power will no longer be as supreme as in the past.

"Then the court affairs will be hard work for Mr. Han."

Chen Mu nodded slightly towards Han Kuo.

He was not familiar with government affairs and was not good at it. Under such circumstances, he was even less interested in getting involved in governance. The so-called specialization in the arts could be left to Han Kuo and other courtiers to minimize chaos.

Moreover, the Daxuan court still regards the Ji family as the royal family. Although it selects one person from a collateral branch, many things do not need to be changed, and it can still minimize chaos.

As for whether Han Kuo and others can control the government well, there is no need to worry too much.

Just as he said.

The nine parts of the world are governed by those with virtue and talent. If Han Kuo and others can't do it well, then someone else will be replaced, just like the other eight states of Donglin, Shangyong, etc. who were divided. People will do it and he will watch.

At this moment, Chen Mu thought of Yan Jingqing who was far away in Yuzhou, Hanbei. For a moment, there was a hint of sigh in his eyes: "Today, Mr. Yan can finally show his ambition in life."

Entering the government has always been Yan Jingqing's long-cherished wish in his life. Today, when the world is first established and order is first established, it is also the time for Yan Jingqing to display his talents. Although Zhongzhou has high mountains and long roads, Yan Jingqing will not refuse to go to Zhongzhou and step into it. As a member of the court, he received a lot of care from Yan Jingqing in the past, and now he can repay this karma.

"Chen Sheng."

At this time, someone spoke again, but it was a figure from the sectarian side.

A middle-aged man bowed his hand to Chen Mu and asked cautiously: "I, Fei Li of the Bahuang Sect, would like to ask Chen Sheng, the situation in the court has been decided, but what will happen to the situation in the world?"

There are inevitably many conflicts between the sectarian forces and the court. The rules of the world and the court's laws are destined to be impossible to completely merge into one. As long as the world is still a prosperous world of martial arts, sects and the court cannot coexist completely peacefully.

After hearing this, Chen Mu pondered for a while and then said: "The affairs of the world are all matters of the world. As long as it does not cause trouble to the world, the sect forces can act in accordance with the rules of the world. But if it causes trouble to the world, the court's laws will not be merciful."

In a world where martial arts are prosperous, it is impossible for the imperial court to govern the sectarian forces according to laws unless the sectarian forces are completely wiped out, and Chen Mu does not intend to do so. Countless years have passed since the world has developed to the present point, and the rules and regulations of the world have been formed. The imperial laws and regulations naturally have a set of nodes for harmonious coexistence, and there will be no problem if they follow the laws of development in the world.

"If so, then there is no doubt about it."

After hearing Chen Mu's words, Fei Li nodded immediately.

He saw that Chen Mu attached great importance to the governance of the court, and was worried that Chen Mu would support the court forces too much and end up fighting each other and seeking revenge. It would be too awkward to have to greet the government in advance and be under the constraints of the court. , if things go on like this, there will inevitably be chaos. After all, in the past when the Daxuan court was at its peak, it never fully intervened in the sectarian forces.

He was relieved to hear that Chen Mu meant to maintain the status quo ante and had no inclination toward the sect or the court.

"Okay, there are only a few things that I invite you to come here to discuss. Now that we have almost explained them, I won't waste your time anymore. If you have any other questions about Jianghu affairs and court affairs, please Just discuss it with each other.”

Chen Mu saw that many of the sects' princes present and the important ministers of the imperial court had no objections at this time, so he nodded slightly, stood up, said something in a calm tone, and walked out of the palace.

After a few steps, the figure disappeared outside the hall.

Only many important officials of the imperial court and the replacement princes of various sects were left behind, watching Chen Mu leave with either solemn or sighing expressions.
