0048 The ancestors have unanimously decided that she will be the emperor.
The thirteen emperors of the Great Yong Dynasty, from the earliest to the most recent, are:
Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong, Emperor Renzong, Emperor Yingzong, Emperor Shenzong... Emperor Shizong, Emperor Lizong.
They had already seen Zhao Jing and heard his prayers.
There was no response.
turn a deaf ear.
It turned out to be the case.
The eldest princess had already taken care of them.
That explains everything.
Although the Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation is ingenious, the power contained within the imperial tomb is immense.
Were the emperors of past dynasties truly incapable of breaking through these limitations?
the answer is negative.
Similarly, the fact that the eldest princess dared to stage a coup without fearing the power of the terrestrial deities suggests that she must have something to rely on.
The reason why the Dayong royal family has stood for eight hundred years is that the legacy of its predecessors is so rich.
The Imperial Palace Formation, combined with the Imperial Seal, can kill Grandmasters and contend with terrestrial immortals.
In the capital region, the Zhao imperial family held absolute control.
Grandmasters do not enter the Jade Capital for fear of being beheaded by the royal family.
The eldest princess must prepare for such power in advance, and cannot simply let it run rampant.
So Zhao Jing couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"Hahaha."
Chao Xi asked worriedly:
"Brother Jing, why are you laughing?"
Zhao Jing grinned:
"Isn't this funny?"
"The ancestors I want to rely on are on the side of others."
This is so funny it's almost funny to the point of making you laugh until you cry.
Chao Xi answered seriously:
"But I'm on Jing-gege's side."
"I will never side with anyone else."
"Because I was born for Brother Jing."
Even if her brother is a willful and bad boy, she will always protect and hug him.
Because this was my mother's last wish.
A deity born out of compassion and vows.
I've been quietly waiting for today.
Zhao Jing felt a warmth in his heart, and then nodded:
"Then Zhao Xi will come with me to pay homage to our ancestors."
"Yes, Brother Jing!"
Chao Xi suddenly became excited.
She's been staying in this imperial mausoleum for too long; now, Brother Jing is about to do something big.
This really excited her.
Let's cause trouble! Let's cause trouble!
Join Brother Jing in causing trouble.
fast!
Chao Xi suddenly became proactive, but Zhao Jing was in no hurry to act.
He still contacted Tusu through the Thousand Illusion Pearl.
Tu Su was sitting on the Blood Raven Flying Carriage, rushing with Chen Zhong and the others at top speed to escape Yongzhou and flee to Jiangnan.
The confluence of the Jiangnan region.
Tu Su held onto the Thousand Illusion Pearl tightly, his heart filled with worry.
The next second, she heard Zhao Jing's voice:
"Tu Su, help me break the formation."
A look of surprise appeared on the girl's face:
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Soon, Tu Su saw the most magnificent and powerful mystical array in the Great Yong Dynasty.
That profound power, as vast as the ocean, could crush almost anything.
If a cultivator is a bowl of water, then the imperial mausoleum is an ocean, and they are completely incomparable.
Tu Su looked at everything before him through Zhao Jing's eyes, and he almost felt suffocated.
because--
"Your Highness, Tu Su is useless."
"There are no flaws in this formation."
"The Imperial Mausoleum Formation is very simple; it is simply a vast amount of profound energy that envelops everything."
"To find an opening, one must surpass the opponent in profound energy."
Avenue to Jane.
Compared to the meticulously designed Qiankun Locking Dragon Formation, the Imperial Mausoleum Formation is not difficult at all.
It's simply a matter of stacking up mystic energy.
If it is stacked up enough, it will be enough to annihilate any opponent, and it will not be afraid of being used by the enemy.
Upon seeing this, Tu Su couldn't help but clench his teeth.
Instead, Zhao Jing comforted her:
"Tu Su, you've done enough."
"I will find a way to solve this."
"Tell me, where is the strongest point of this formation?"
Since there are no flaws, then we should look for the strongest point of the formation.
Because the strongest is often the weakest.
We must understand the principle that the moon wanes after it is full.
Tu Su immediately replied:
"Your Highness, at the very front!"
"All the profound energy is distributed from there, to the point of overflowing."
That is where Emperor Taizu was located.
Soon, Tu Su added:
"But Your Highness, only those with the strength of a thousand pounds can use four ounces to move a thousand pounds."
"You must not act impulsively."
Zhao Jing grinned:
"It's alright, I have a way."
"Your Highness!"
Tu Su was somewhat anxious. She didn't know what had happened at the imperial tomb, but breaking this formation was far beyond their capabilities.
She was very anxious.
Zhao Jing simply offered a word of comfort:
"Tu Su, you must believe in me."
"One can create miracles."
He remembered his mother's teachings: no matter what dire situation you are in, you must have absolute self-confidence.
Even if there's no other way, you should at least build up your confidence.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"I await Your Highness in Jiangnan."
"Your Highness must come."
Tu Su then abandoned his impulse to go to the imperial tomb.
"certainly."
Zhao Jing comforted Tu Su and strode forward toward the tomb of Emperor Taizu.
This time, he still called out loudly:
"The sixteenth generation descendant of the ancestor of Dayong..."
"...Paying respects to the spirit of my late grandfather!"
With Chao Xi's help, he could vaguely see the emperors of past dynasties around him.
Their faces showed a range of emotions: calmness, pity, or interest.
They didn't say anything.
The spirits of our ancestors, having received state sacrifices, have gained consciousness and spirituality, and have lived here for hundreds of years, witnessing the joys and sorrows of countless descendants.
Most of them have long since become hard-hearted.
But Zhao Jing did not stop.
He carried a wine vessel and sprinkled wine on the ground along the way, and set up many ceremonial objects.
There were flags, wine glasses, statues, and so on.
Some were just to make up the numbers, while others were prepared in advance for the priests.
Since Zhao Jing was coming to the imperial mausoleum, he would naturally prepare the appropriate ceremonial objects.
As he set up the formation, he also recited as he walked:
"Princess Zhao Huang violated human ethics, harbored a wolfish heart, colluded with other tribes, and plotted to seize the throne, causing the imperial regalia to be overturned and the ancestral temples to be covered in dust."
"May our ancestors in heaven, if they have divine insight, discern the wicked and the loyal!"
"If the Zhao family bloodline is not extinguished, and the hearts of the people are not dead, we earnestly request that you be granted the Bone of Heaven's Mandate to help Jing restore order and restore peace to the land!"
"Now that this wish has been fulfilled, we must hold a sacrifice to comfort our ancestors!"
"May I be punished by both heaven and man if I break this oath!"
Zhao Jing walked step by step toward the tomb of Emperor Taizu and issued his challenge.
Along the way, he saw the faces of many of his ancestors.
Emperor Lizong, adhering to outdated practices, allowed regional military governors to grow powerful, ultimately making the Yuwen family unstoppable.
Emperor Shizong revitalized the Dayong Dynasty and washed away the shame of the Yan and Yun regions, but he also left behind veteran ministers who helped restore the dynasty.
Among the most noteworthy emperors of recent generations, one reached the level of a near-immortal.
Unfortunately, he failed to ascend to the rank of Human Immortal and died with regret.
He still possessed some human emotions, and was most interested in Zhao Jing.
Emperor Qinzong, the architect of the Yan-Yun humiliation, was captured and taken to Da Xuan. Later, Emperor Shizong restored the dynasty and signed a new peace treaty, which allowed his remains to be returned.
The emperor who least deserves to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Emperor Huizong, the originator of the Yan-Yun humiliation, sat at the same table as Emperor Qinzong.
……
There have been many emperors throughout history, but not all of them deserve to be enshrined in the imperial mausoleum.
When Zhao Jing presented his ancestral tablets, he did not regard Emperor Qinzong or Emperor Huizong as his ancestors.
I don't even want to mention it; I'll just pretend it never happened.
As the saying goes: Few people have been named Hui since the Song Dynasty, and I feel ashamed to be surnamed Qin when I stand before his grave.
The most awkward problem with ancestor worship is that some ancestors may not be able to withstand the test.
This also shows that major martial arts sects are gradually gaining an advantage over aristocratic families.
As Zhao Jing traveled along, his sense of awe diminished, and he began to have some ideas in mind.
Since imperial tombs aren't particularly sacred, there's a lot more room for manipulation.
He walked to the tomb of Emperor Taizu and completed the final ceremony.
Wine was spilled in front of the tomb.
At this moment, he finally heard the voice of the founding emperor:
"Child, go back."
"I will have her spare your life."
Your requests have been received by our ancestors.
But I don't intend to help you.
Because all the ancestors agreed that the eldest princess should become the empress.
Zhao Jing remained calm and simply replied:
"There's no going back."
"Just one question for you, Ancestor: what conditions did your aunt offer?"
Since we all share the same ancestors, let's not talk about blood ties, let's talk about interests directly.
The founding emperor did not appear; he seemed to be integrated into the Xuanli system.
"The Great Xuan and the Great Yong have been separated for far too long."
"She had the ability, and she won."
"It's time to end this."
It turned out to be the case.
Zhao Jing understood now.
The reason why the eldest princess allowed the ancestors to watch the show from the sidelines was because she set conditions.
I will surely destroy the Great Xuan and unify the world.
Just as Li Shimin had the stain of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he still pacified the surrounding barbarians and established the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.
He ended the trend of Han Chinese decline that had begun in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, becoming the most powerful voice of the era.
Neither ordinary people nor historians would deny his merits because of the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
His achievements are enough to overshadow all the problems.
Compared to the bloody massacres of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Xuanwu Gate Incident is insignificant.
The eldest princess also led the Xuanwu Army to defeat the Xuanjia Army of Da Xuan, demonstrating the prowess of a renowned general.
To cover up the Xuanwu Gate Incident and improve her reputation in history, she would inevitably launch a foreign war.
They destroyed the Great Xuan in the north, conquered the Holy Temple in the south, and subdued the orcs.
She launched three major expeditions to prove that her achievements were worthy of the title of Empress.
Our ancestors had longed for the unification of the world for far too long.
Only when the nation is strong enough and the Great Yong Dynasty unifies the world can their incense offerings flourish even more and break through the existing limits.
Is becoming a human immortal the ultimate goal?
Obviously not.
If Emperor Hongjing is incompetent and still clings to power, then let's replace him with someone else.
Our ancestors tacitly accepted all of this.
They want to improve and go further.
In the game of the Nine Princes' Succession, no matter which prince—the Prince of Qi, the Prince of Kang, or the Prince of Min—wins, the ancestors will acknowledge it.
After all, they are all our own children.
They'll help whoever wins.
Anyway, over the past eight hundred years, they have seen similar cases before.
The Great Yong Empire was never sacred.
Zhao Jing frowned:
"Isn't our ancestor worried that the Yuwen family will seize the temple?"
It would be understandable if it were any other king.
The eldest princess, however, has a fatal flaw.
Emperor Taizu gave a simple answer:
"Child, you should understand."
"You mentioned that thing earlier too."
Destiny Bone.
The last piece of the Destiny Bone contained such power that even the founding emperor believed that as long as one obtained this divine object, along with the power of the ancestors, one could achieve great things.
Yuwen Huan is not a threat.
The Empress's lineage will ultimately rot within her flesh.
This generation is an empress, and the next generation will still be descendants of the Zhao family.
Clearly, the eldest princess must have made a similar promise.
Zhao Jing laughed.
He finally discovered the flaw.
"Ancestors, you were really wrong this time."
"Because the Yuwen family also knows the whereabouts of the Destiny Bone."
"The day the princess ascends the throne will be the day the Yuwen family steals the Bone of Destiny."
From this moment forward, Zhao Jing will shatter the illusions of his ancestors.
He is the only heir.
