After being struck by Lu Hongyi's sword dozens of times, Tiandao Palace not only did not get angry, but quickly disappeared from the top of Xudao Mountain.
The entire palace seemed as if it had never existed.
No one can detect it at all.
This made Chen An, who learned the news, extremely surprised.
Ting Tianzheng meant that he was the incarnation of the Immortal Lord of Tiandao Palace, just with an independent personality.
After being provoked by his divine wife for a long time, Chen An waited on the side for a long time, but the Heavenly Venerable of the Supreme Temple did not move.
Originally, Chen An was thinking that if the old guy came out, he would make him know the price of tampering with his magic jade.
The result... is gone!
"As expected of the old Gou who is so cowardly!" Chen An said with a sneer.
Tiandu City is now full of flowers.
It seemed to be unaffected by the many whirlpools in the sky.
Because the people believed that the emperor of their Tianyue Dynasty would definitely be able to protect them.
This trust seems to be deeply rooted.
After all, no matter how powerful and arrogant the Tiandao Palace was, it returned empty-handed after coming to Tiandu City.
Chen An's arrogance and domineering attitude in front of the Tiandao Palace had long spread throughout the world.
In addition, Zhu Guo blocked the Tiandao Palace, making the people inside afraid to come out.
It also destroyed the prestige of Tiandao Palace, a mysterious and powerful sect with a long history, in the eyes of practitioners all over the world.
Now, it seems that in this Divine Land, their emperor is omnipotent and invincible!
Chen An's return naturally shocked the court and the public.
Chief Minister Wu Zhang, Left and Right Prime Ministers Zhang You and Li Feng hurried to meet Chen An.
However, Chen An did not see them, and the three of them did not give up and waited outside the Nine Dragon Hall.
In the Nine Dragon Hall, the chubby Liu Tong was standing in front of Chen An.
After he left, everything that happened inside and outside the Tianyue Dynasty was revealed.
This includes some things in the western, southern and northern parts of China.
In Western Shenzhou, the existence of the Heavenly Demon Palace and the Pure Land has made several chaotic and separatist dynasties in Western Shenzhou want to submit to the Tianyue Dynasty.
Therefore, if one wants to unify the world now, there will only be some resistance from southern and northern China.
As for the problems within the dynasty, the biggest problem now is Zhang You, who has the most disciples and old friends.
Zhang You, a scholar and the prime minister of the time, was respected by scholars all over the world.
Among scholars, Zhang You is even respected as the Second Sage.
Some people even found some clues to prove that Zhang You is a direct descendant of the ancient strategist Zhang family.
In this way, countless scholars voluntarily became Zhang You's disciples. These scholars even spontaneously placed the spirit tablet of the sage at home and worshiped him every day.
In the imperial court, Zhang You's power has become extremely huge.
Chen An listened calmly and said, "If the civil officials are like this, what about the military generals?"
"Many people from the Military Generals Group came to visit Zhang You. For some reason, Zhang You didn't meet any of them. In addition, he even suppressed the military generals in the court. Now, he has become the enemy of the Military Generals Group."
Chen An was immediately amused when he heard this: "This old guy still knows what he can and cannot do!"
Liu Tong glanced at Chen An and whispered, "Your Majesty, I feel that if Zhang You continues to develop like this, he will really become powerful. By then, I'm afraid that only Prime Minister Zhang will be known, and not the Emperor!"
Chen An glanced at Liu Tong and said, "This is a common problem among civil servants. They want to follow the dragon, but they also have the means to slay it."
"Dragon Slayer?" Liu Tong's expression changed slightly. "He wants to rebel?"
"To put it simply, the dragon slaying I mentioned is nothing more than a trick played by some scholars. The so-called dragon slaying is a means of limiting the emperor's power, so that the imperial power cannot do whatever it wants."
"Damn it!" Liu Tong's eyes were icy. "Your Majesty, I will bring Zhang You's head here right now!"
Chen An said calmly, "What does it take for a dynasty to last forever?"
Liu Tong was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said seriously, "Of course it depends on the wise governance of the monarch!"
Chen An shook his head: "You are wrong. The emperor is only part of the story. Liu Tong, let me ask you, if I were a tyrant and no one could restrain me, what would happen?"
Liu Tong said without hesitation: "How could the Lord be a tyrant? The Lord is an eternally wise ruler!"
The flattery was still pleasant to the ear, and Chen An couldn't help but laugh.
But he asked, "Who can guarantee that the emperors after me will be wise rulers?"
Liu Tong said with a serious expression, "Since the Lord is immortal, he can naturally continue to command hundreds of millions of people. Naturally, there is no need to worry!"
Chen An was stunned: "Damn it, I have to be a tool for the rest of my life?"
Chen An has never wanted to be an emperor in his life!
Liu Tong was stunned. He didn't understand what it meant and didn't dare to speak.
Chen An frowned and said, "If a dynasty wants to prosper forever, it must have appropriate rules as its foundation. However, rules are far from enough. It also needs a code of conduct that is recognized by everyone in the world, such as punishing evil and promoting good, filial piety, and human relations, such as Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents, and Teachers!"
Liu Tong frowned, he didn't understand anyway.
Chen An glanced at Liu Tong and said unhappily, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. After all, you're not an educated person!"
Then, Chen An said, "I have heard of this strategist, but what is his origin?"
Liu Tong's spirits lifted. "This Saint of Counsel, according to legend, was a counselor who assisted the Human Emperor in ancient times. He helped the Human Emperor pacify the world. Later, this counselor unexpectedly became a god. The war between the Human Emperor and the gods broke out, and the Saint of Counsel died."
"God?" Chen An's eyes flashed slightly.
Liu Tao nodded: "So, Your Majesty, you must be careful of Zhang You. I think he is very likely to follow this path. He may even become the next Sage of Strategy!"
"Scholars become gods?" Chen An narrowed his eyes. Could it be that scholars also have alternative methods of cultivation?
"Ask Zhang You to come see me!"
"Yes, my Lord!"
…
Zhang You knelt and saluted, smiling, "Your Majesty has finally returned. Now everything is ready. We only need to wait for Your Majesty's return before we can march into the south and north!"
Chen An waved his hand and Zhang You stood up.
Chen An suddenly asked, "Zhang You, how can a scholar become a god?"
As soon as these words were spoken!
Zhang You's expression changed drastically, and he knelt on the ground again: "Your Majesty, I dare not follow the old path of our ancestors!"
Chen An looked at Zhang You and suddenly smiled: "I'm just asking, why are you so nervous? It seems like you are guilty!"
Zhang You's forehead was covered with sweat. He laughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty's sudden question makes me very frightened."
"I'm shocked. So, it must be groundless?" Chen An stared at Zhang You.
Zhang Youyi said righteously, "I have no extravagant hopes for what happened to my ancestors. My life's ambition is to assist a wise ruler, pacify the world, and unify it. I will be content if my name is recorded in history."
However, the more Zhang You spoke, the softer his voice became, because Chen An kept looking at him, which made Zhang You feel extremely oppressed.
At this moment, Chen An said calmly: "I heard that Mr. Yasheng has disciples all over the world. Scholars only know about Prime Minister Zhang, but not me, Chen An?"
"Your Majesty, I am guilty of the death penalty!"
Zhang You lay on the ground, trembling all over.
