It is impossible to gather military power for Emperor Qianning, but they can recover some of the debt.
So the feudal lord handed Emperor Qianning an IOU stamped with a jade seal. He didn't want more than what his grandfather owed, just five million taels.
Emperor Qian Ning's face changed, but it was impossible to repay the money. If he just said that the treasury was empty and there was no money left, he would be treated as an old scoundrel!
However, since the feudal lord collects debts, is it done through negotiation?
impossible, being a deadbeat with him is out of the question.
He did not engage in the national treasury, but quietly emptied Emperor Qianning's private treasury. A total of five million taels of real and equivalent treasures were swept away by him.
When the **** guarding the private treasury stumbled over to deliver the message, Emperor Qianning couldn't calm down for a moment and stared at Feng Xiu.
"It is only right that the father repays the debt and the son repays the debt." Feng Xiu said: "I don't care about silver or anything, as long as it is of equal value."
Originally, he didn't care about the money with the royal family, but because Emperor Ning wanted to die, he had no choice but to peel off a layer of his skin and teach the naughty kid a lesson by taking away the things he cared about.
Feng Xiu also burned the IOU in front of Emperor Qian Ning and said, "Hey, write it off in one stroke."
Before Qin Liuxi left, he said: "Being diligent and caring for the people is the only way you can change your destiny. It's a pity." She then looked at Concubine Gu who was lying on the side with her eyelids trembling, and said: "Don't give it to me. The Qin family granted marriage, but their lives were tough."
With me, life will be hard!
Emperor Qianning dared not say anything in anger. He watched them disappear with the long-browed Taoist. After a long while, he smashed everything in the hall and said, "Here comes someone."
The great **** trembled as he stepped forward to serve.
“Go and tell Qin Tianjian Zheng and Minister of Industry to demolish the temple for me.” Emperor Qianning went crazy and said, “Tell Xiang Lin and Marquis Ding’an...”
Qin Liuxi and Feng Xiu stood at the entrance of the palace. They looked back. The dragon energy dissipated, and then they looked up at the sky. Dark clouds were rolling in.
The sky is going to change.
When he returned to the Qin Mansion, Qin Mingyan came up to him and said, "Is it difficult for the sage to trouble the eldest sister? If it is because of the Qin family's affairs, the eldest sister does not need to pay attention to it, and there is no need to be involved in the cause and effect."
Qin Liuxi raised his eyebrows: "That ancient noble concubine wanted to marry a daughter of the Qin family, but you refused, and now Qi Mingjing wants to marry her."
Qin Mingyan's face darkened and he said: "Because of the birth of a noble concubine in the Gu family, the Gu family has become even more arrogant and domineering than the Meng family. On the surface, the Gu family's son is gentle and modest, but in reality he behaves dissolutely. He even goes in and out of small brothels. Our girl from the Qin family , they are not famous, but they are all well-educated, and there is no way they would fall into this pit of fire.”
“Then what if the marriage is really granted?”
Qin Mingyan said: "Sister, I don't know. Our Qin family has an iron coupon for the alchemy book. It was given by Emperor Kangping, but it was not publicized to the outside world. So you don't have to worry about the Qin family. In the worst case, just take out the iron coupon for the alchemy book." ”
Qin Liuxi didn't expect Qi Qian to give such a treasure to the Qin family. He smiled and said, "Don't worry if he doesn't dare to marry me. The Qin family has a very good family tradition. You have taken the trouble."
“I dare not live up to my eldest sister’s teachings, let alone lose my eldest sister’s face.”
Qin Liuxi looked at him intently for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand, touched his head and said, "You are old."
Qin Mingyan's nose felt sore and he said: "We have been waiting for you for many years. Fortunately, when you are here, you should be older. As long as you are willing to come back."
Qin Liuxi asked him to go down and rest, and then he called Taoist Changmei to ask about the offering.
The Taoist Changmei replied respectfully: "Nowadays, there is abundant spiritual energy, and those who have entered the Tao, those who are talented, and their cultivation has increased sharply. Even when drawing talismans, the success rate of talismans is higher than before. But if people can cultivate, other spiritual objects and monsters will naturally do the same. able."
As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Xiu cautiously.
Feng Xiu said calmly: "It depends on what I do. As long as you don't mess with me, I am a good monster. We are all common people in this world. People can cultivate, so can monsters, and ghosts can also fight. Naturally, they can also fight." If a monster harms people, it is also the way for people to survive. In the same way, if a monster has no intention of harming people but cannot resist the greed of people, then it is not the case that the monsters will fight back. "
Taoist Changmei quickly apologized and said: "Xiaodao didn't mean that. That is to say, today's Dafeng is actually more dangerous than before under the revival of spiritual energy. Just like what the Demon King said, if a monster transforms into a human, ordinary people I don’t know whether it is a human or a demon. In the world, there are good and bad people, and the same goes for demons. If you encounter bad demons, ordinary people with no moral character will be fish on the chopping block. A powerful family somehow arises and asks for worship, just like offering sacrifices to a family immortal, to protect the family and the people.”
Seeing Qin Liuxi's silence, the feudal cultivator said, "Times have changed."
Qin Liuxi nodded, looked at Taoist Changmei, and said: "Since you know the offerings, do you know what the cultivation levels of these offerings are? Foundation building? You haven't even touched the threshold of foundation building, but you were found by Emperor Qianning. , it can be seen that you are the one with the highest cultivation level that he can find, what about the others? "
The long-browed Taoist chuckled: "Of course it's no better than the Immortal Lord."
“It’s not that he is no better than me. He is a truly powerful person. He will not be trapped by the world. Since he can serve as a family minister, if a worldly matter comes up and I ask you to help solve it, will you help?”
"If you are trapped by the world, you will not be able to practice wholeheartedly. You also know that now that spiritual energy has revived, anyone who is destined to the Tao can enter the Tao and practice. Whether they are humans, monsters, ghosts or monsters, there are many people who are better than you in cultivation. "Why won't they be worshiped by the family? Are they not worthy?" Taoist Changmei was startled, how could that be possible? Of course they disdain it.
Thinking of this, he stiffened slightly.
Qin Liuxi saw that he had figured it out and said quietly: "It's not that they are unworthy, it's that they prefer to wait for an opportunity."
The long-browed Taoist's face changed.
Qin Liuxi looked at the spiritual energy in the sky that was not particularly pure, but it was indeed more abundant than before, and said: "For thousands of years, no one has ascended in Buddhism because the spiritual energy is getting scarce and it is difficult to improve one's cultivation. Now that the spiritual energy has recovered, given time , is it possible to ascend?”
She withdrew her gaze, looked at the Taoist Taoist with long eyebrows, and said: "If you want to ascend, you have to touch the threshold of Dzogchen. If you can't even reach it through practice, how can you talk about Dzogchen? Why don't those who practice in the realm of nothingness come out of the mountain? Are they being noble by participating in secular affairs? No, it’s because they are smart enough to know what is at the end of the road, so they don’t put the cart before the horse.”
What is at the end of the road? Naturally, it is ascending to immortality.
They didn't dare to think about it in the past. Now that times have changed and spiritual energy is abundant, they dare to think about that possibility. And the prerequisite for ascension is endless practice until the Great Consummation!
Long eyebrows were like a ravioli, ashamed, took two steps back and worshiped Qin Liuxi.
Qin Liuxi stood with his hands behind his hands and said, "Do what you want."
After Changmei left, Feng Xiu said: "You need to enlighten me, he is really lucky."
"The Taoist heart is not crooked yet, so it doesn't matter if you give me some advice. I'm afraid it's just a wooden head." Qin Liuxi said: "Now that the spiritual energy has recovered, it's not just people like you and me who can cultivate. The same goes for demons and ghosts. Only when all things are balanced can all living things be balanced. Let this little world survive.”
Feng Xiu said: "Is it really possible to ascend?"
“Do you want to?” Qin Liuxi asked back.
Feng Xiu blinked, transformed, and turned into a small one again, lying on her shoulder, and said: "If there really is a spiritual world of cultivating immortals, I heard that those fairies have spiritual pets, you think I can do it Really? Boss, just take me to the sky!"
Qin Liuxi laughed and scolded him, and flicked him down: "Get out!"
She raised her head and looked at the cloud that looked like a dragon swimming towards the west. She lowered her eyes. It was not yet known whether the cultivator could ascend, but this throne was really going to be occupied by someone else.
Sure enough, in the spring of the thirteenth year of Qianning, Emperor Qianning, in order to consolidate his monarchy, used the Wanshou Festival to invite the vassal kings from all over the country to return to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays and intended to withdraw the vassal. At the same time, he asked General Dingxi, who was stationed in the northwest, to lead his family to congratulate him. The general said that the border was unstable. And the abnormal movements are frequently rejected.
At that time, the Quan family in the Dingxihou Mansion in the middle of the capital was found to be secretly hiding a yellow robe with the intention of treason. Emperor Qianning was furious and did not prove the authenticity. He convicted him of treason, seized the title, and jailed the Dingxihou who was in Beijing as a hostage, forcing him to Dingxi General Quan Xi returned to Beijing to defend himself.
The prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Quan Jin, who had gray hair and was wearing a prison uniform, was sitting cross-legged in a single cell. He coughed from time to time. He suddenly froze and looked to his side.
Qin Liuxi appeared in front of him.
Quan Jin's eyes brightened slightly, and he smiled and said, "I've heard that you're back a long time ago. It's because I'm not strong enough to get up from the bed and go to see you. I didn't expect that after decades of not seeing each other, you and I would be like each other. But in this filthy prison, it’s a pity that I am a prisoner now, and I can’t even entertain you with a pot of wine.”
"You're almost dead, and you still want wine?" Qin Liuxi took out a pot of wine and two cups.
Quan Jin was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Xi Zheng has been gone for many years, and I should have died long ago."
He poured the wine himself, took a sip, raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you here to give me a ride?"
"Hmm." Qin Liuxi said, "Do you know the meaning of Quan Xi's name?"
Quan Jing was silent.
Qin Liuxi filled a cup for him and said: "The word "xi" means that when the sun goes away, it becomes Xi. Xi means the emperor of human beings. When the sun goes away, it becomes Xi. Do you understand?"
Quan Kyung’s heart skipped a beat.
The names and bright scenes of today’s saints all contain the sun. Does this mean their families are rebelling?
Qin Liuxi looked at him and said, "The saint is fatuous and self-willed. He listens to sycophants, and the people are miserable." She poured another glass of wine and said, "So it's okay for the Quan family to rebel, and it's not in vain for you to sit down." In this prison."
Quan Jin laughed and drank the wine in the glass: "I'm sure!"
At the end of March in the thirteenth year of Qianning, the Marquis of Dingxi crashed into the wall and died in prison. In the prison, blood letters were hung on the wall, crying out for injustice. The news spread to the northwest. General Dingxi told the world's powerful families in blood letters about their past achievements, and that the holy king was deceived by traitors. , the loyal ministers had no choice but to rectify their names. In order to bring order to the chaos, the Quan family punished the sycophant ministers and cleared the emperor's side.
In April of the thirteenth year of Qianning, the Quan family rebelled. In December of the same year, the army came to the city. Emperor Qianning cut his sword and committed suicide on the city wall. A Taoist who was somewhat similar to Emperor Qianning held a jade seal and presented it to General Dingxi in person. He said that he was destined to return to his destiny. From then on, the master of the world changed his dynasty to the west, the country's surname became Quan, and the world was settled. (End of chapter)
