Chapter 13 Is there anything special about this Zhou Kingdom?
Xiao Mo's consciousness broke away from the Book of Hundred Worlds.
For nearly two months, Xiao Mo has been obsessed with "cultivating immortals" every day and basically doesn't care about court affairs.
When Xiao Mo was hungry, he would ask the imperial kitchen to send food over.
Anyway, as an emperor, even if he is a puppet emperor, there are people to serve him when he eats, drinks, defecates and urinates.
Xiao Mo felt that even the Emperor Wanshou didn't stay at home alone.
"Wei Xun." Xiao Mo shouted.
Wei Xun, who was serving outside the palace, heard the voice and hurried in: "Your Majesty."
At the beginning, Wei Xun thought that His Majesty practiced Taoism just to paralyze Yan Shanao and then prepare something secretly.
For example, after a prince of the State of Chen was sidelined by a powerful official, he secretly raised a group of assassins and did various things to paralyze the powerful official.
Finally one day, the prince of Chen State called the powerful minister into the palace, and his assassins ambushed him secretly and killed him, taking back power.
But His Majesty has really been cultivating the Dao during this period.
And I can meditate for the whole day.
"Could it be that His Majesty has truly given up on seizing power?"
Thinking of this, Wei Xun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling a little lost.
But on second thought, it would be better for Your Majesty to give up.
It is not easy to kill Yan Shanao, as he is a cultivator at the Longmen realm.
If there is any negligence, His Majesty will not be able to regain power, and he may even die in the palace.
"Wei Xun, you look so serious, is there something wrong?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your concern. I can help you with anything. As long as Your Majesty is well, I am well too." Wei Xun said with a flattering smile.
"Okay, okay, stop flattering me all the time. Ask someone to send some food over. I'm a little hungry." Xiao Mo said.
"The imperial kitchen has prepared it and is on its way to your majesty."
Ever since His Majesty started practicing Taoism, Wei Xun has had a vague idea of His Majesty's meal times.
"Yes." Xiao Mo nodded. "What has the court thought of me during this period of time?"
"That." Wei Xun hesitated to speak.
"Just tell me what you want." Xiao Mo looked at Wei Xun, "Tell me the truth!"
"." Wei Xun organized his words in his mind, and then said word by word, "Many ministers have complained about your majesty's practice, and think that your majesty should...should..."
"Should I focus on state affairs?" Xiao Mo smiled. "Are they still cursing me behind my back as a tyrant?"
As soon as Xiao Mo finished speaking, Wei Xun quickly knelt down in front of him: "No one would dare to speak of Your Majesty in such a way!"
"Alright, alright, why are you so nervous? I didn't say you said that." Xiao Mo said calmly, "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wei Xun stood up tremblingly and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Most of the ministers who scolded him were just trying to show off their image as "loyal ministers".
Everyone in the court knew that Empress Dowager Yan and Prime Minister Yan were one outsider and one insider.
How can he personally manage the government if he has lost all his power?
And what if Yan Shanao feels he is a threat.
That guy might really change the emperor.
If an emperor is forced to resign, there is only one outcome, and that is death.
So until you have enough strength, you have to survive.
It won’t be long before my first experience of life in the Book of Hundred Worlds will be over. I will see what rewards I can get then.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister requests to see you." A palace maid shouted outside the bedroom.
"Please invite the Prime Minister in quickly." Xiao Mo said.
"Yes." The palace maid bowed outside the bedroom and opened the door, "Prime Minister, please come in."
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Yan Shanao, with a sword at his waist, walked into the bedroom and bowed to Xiao Mo.
"Father, why are you so polite?" Xiao Mo hurriedly got off the bed, not even wearing shoes, and walked forward to greet him, "Father, why are you here?"
Yan Shanao looked at Xiao Mo, dressed as a Taoist priest. "Your Majesty has been practicing Taoism for almost two months. I came to visit Your Majesty and wanted to ask how your practice is going."
"Hahaha. Not bad, not bad." Xiao Mo said with a smile, "I feel that the affairs of the court are too complicated and too stressful. Since I started practicing Taoism, my mind has been in good shape every day. It's all about the big and small affairs of the court. I'm sorry to trouble you, Prime Minister, to take care of it."
"Your Majesty, that's not true. Sharing your worries is my duty." Yan Shanao bowed again. "However, Your Majesty, in about a month, Elder Huang of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect will come to our Zhou Kingdom. The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is the world's number one sword sect. Your Majesty will need to personally receive Elder Huang then."
"That's no problem."
The original body did not know much about the world of immortal cultivation. He had only vaguely heard of the reputation of the Wanjian Sect. Apart from that, he knew nothing else, not even the name of the Sect Master.
"Besides, Your Majesty is already not young anymore. I have selected some women for Your Majesty to enter the palace. They are all ladies from famous families. In particular, my Yan clan has a talented woman named Yan Ruxue. She is both talented and beautiful. I believe Your Majesty will like her."
"." How could Xiao Mo not understand what the other party meant? Yan Shanao almost said "You must choose Yan Ruxue as your concubine". It might not be long before Yan Ruxue would become the queen.
"I have heard of the talented girl from the Yan family for a long time. I will definitely pay close attention to her!" Xiao Mo nodded, and he was willing to do as he was told.
Seeing Xiao Mo being so obedient, Yan Shanao curled up the corners of his mouth.
In the past, Xiao Mo would have fought with me a little, and even tried to take back the power, but now it seems that he has given up completely.
This is the best, otherwise changing the emperor will only add more complications.
"Since everything is fine, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
"Father, take care. You should take care of your health. Wei Xun, please see you off."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Wei Xun saw Yan Shanao off, Xiao Mo frowned, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Old Turtle San, just wait for me!"
Qinghe City is the place where all laws are practiced.
This place is only thirty miles away from the border of Zhou State.
On the streets of Qinghe City, Elder Huang was followed by two "disciples" wearing the uniforms of the Wanjian Sect.
During the past few days of traveling, Elder Huang felt very uncomfortable when he was with them.
Although they were wearing the clothes of the inner disciples of the Wanjian Sect, if Elder Huang really regarded them as inner disciples, he felt that he must be tired of living.
These two people.
One of them is the leader of his own clan, the best swordsman in the world.
The other is Qiu Ye, the sword servant who serves the sect leader.
To be honest, Elder Huang really didn't know why his clan leader was going to Zhou Kingdom with him?
My diplomatic mission to the State of Zhou was just an ordinary matter. I would just go through the procedures and accept the State of Zhou as a vassal state of the Wanjian Sect.
But he didn't expect that the sect leader would also follow him, and he concealed his identity and pretended to be an inner disciple.
Is there anything special about this Zhou Kingdom?
