Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 140 Left Prime Minister: The Ten Great Dao Courts, I'm Determined to Make a Move

Qin Xiu frowned slightly, lost in thought.

The Left Prime Minister did not urge him, but waited quietly for Qin Xiu to come up with an answer.

After thinking it over and over, Qin Xiu seemed to understand his father's words and suddenly spoke.

"I understand!"

"Father, I understand!"

"The Ten Great Dao Courts are not afraid of the backlash of their fortune because they govern a small number of people."

"If there are fewer common people, there will be less backlash from the fortune."

"The Ten Great Dao Courts can use innate spiritual treasures to forcibly suppress it."

"In this way, they have been able to pass down their knowledge from ancient times to the present day."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Left Prime Minister nodded in satisfaction.

"Ruzi can be taught!"

"That's why I said that Shennong Valley and other Daoist courts will never rise up in rebellion; at most, they will support the true dragon."

"Because they are unwilling to go any further and take on the burden of the whole world."

"The people of the Ten Great Dao Courts only care about their own families, not the greater good."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiu was deeply moved and couldn't help but sigh.

"In that case, Emperor Taizu was truly a man of unparalleled talent throughout the ages."

"He clearly had the opportunity to become the eleventh court, but he was willing to go further and shoulder the responsibility for the whole world."

"Emperor Taizu was indeed a man of unparalleled talent throughout the ages, but..." The Left Chancellor frowned halfway through his sentence.

"Emperor Taizu was blessed by the fortune of heaven and earth, and was propelled forward by the fortune of the world."

"He has no choice but to take it a step further!"

Even a true dragon has times when it is not in control of its own destiny.

"If you want to be in control of your own destiny, you cannot be influenced by the fortune of heaven and earth."

"However, in the great struggle, without the blessing of heaven and earth, one cannot even save one's life, let alone control everything."

"As for whether Emperor Taizu wanted to establish the Eleventh Daoist Court, I'm afraid no one knows."

After listening to his father's account, Qin Xiu seemed to suddenly realize something, and his eyes widened in shock.

"Father, our dynasty has been established for ten thousand years."

"According to what you said, no dynasty can last for ten thousand years."

"Then isn't our dynasty already...at its end?"

Hearing his son's words, the Left Prime Minister was both amused and exasperated, and glared at Qin Xiu.

"What are you thinking, you silly boy?"

"Although our dynasty has many problems, it has not yet reached the point of being the end of a dynasty."

"This is all thanks to His Majesty the Great Ancestor."

"His Majesty the Great Ancestor's achievements were unparalleled. The innate spiritual treasures he crafted far surpassed those of all previous dynasties."

"Even if we simply inherit the old system, the current dynasty will last longer than the previous dynasty."

"Most importantly, the system of establishing an heir established by Emperor Taizu was the most brutal in all dynasties."

"Every emperor had to go through a brutal struggle for succession in order to ascend to the throne."

"Although the process is extremely brutal and may even cause global upheaval."

"But the advantage is that the emperors of all dynasties have had remarkable abilities, and the proportion of wise rulers far exceeds that of previous dynasties."

"Judging from the current dynasty's fortunes, it has not yet reached the point of the dynasty's end and the people's lives being miserable."

"Moreover, the Ninth Prince cultivated the Sacred Emperor Rice, which is a great merit."

"If the Holy Emperor Rice can be successfully promoted, it is not impossible for it to extend the life of the Great Qian Dynasty by several hundred years, or even a thousand years!"

The Left Prime Minister spoke earnestly and eloquently.

It must be said that His Majesty the Great Ancestor was farsighted and had foresight, prolonging the life of the Great Qian Dynasty from two angles.

Refining stronger innate spiritual treasures can suppress stronger backlashes of fortune.

On the other hand, the brutal system of succession struggle was used to enhance the wisdom of emperors throughout history, thereby reducing the depletion of the dynasty's fortune and prolonging the reign of Emperor Qianlong.

As the Left Chancellor, he could vaguely sense that the fortunes of the Great Qian Dynasty still had some strength left.

As for how many more years it can last, he couldn't say for sure.

It seems that it should be able to sustain itself for another two or three thousand years without any problem.

The premise is that there shouldn't be another emperor like Emperor Li who acted recklessly.

"Of course, if one or two of the ten Dao Courts could be destroyed, the situation in the Great Qian Dynasty would be better."

The Left Prime Minister spoke in a low voice, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiu opened his mouth in surprise and stammered.

"To destroy the Ten Great Dao Courts? That's impossible."

Qin Xiu had been living in Shennong Valley for some time and was well aware of its power.

Destroying one of the Ten Great Dao Courts is no easy task.

The Left Prime Minister did not take his son's rebuttal seriously, but simply smiled.

"It's not impossible."

"After I have completed the promotion of the Holy Emperor Rice, I will submit a memorial to His Majesty."

"To formally confer titles upon the ten Daoist courts and establish their names."

The Left Prime Minister's words left Qin Xiu completely bewildered, his mind a jumbled mess.

"Father, the names of the Ten Great Dao Courts are known throughout the land. What difference does it make whether the imperial court bestows titles upon them or not?"

"Xiu'er, there's a huge difference!" The Left Prime Minister's dark pupils held a deep and meaningful look as he glanced at Qin Xiu.

"If the name is not correct, the words will not be proper."

"If the court can bestow titles upon ten Daoist courts today, then it can change those ten courts into nine Daoist courts tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiu was immediately jolted, feeling the hairs on his body stand on end.

"Father, is it you who wanted to use the 'two peaches to kill three warriors' strategy?"

"Not bad! All that studying these past few days hasn't been in vain." The Left Prime Minister stroked his long beard and chuckled with satisfaction.

"Does this work?"

"Even I can see through this plan, how could the Ten Great Dao Courts not?"

"What if the Ten Great Dao Courts join forces to pressure His Majesty and try to take your life, Father?"

"Father, you mustn't do anything reckless!"

"You are the pillar of this family!"

Qin Xiu looked anxious, as if he were an ant on a hot pan.

In his opinion, his father's idea was too reckless.

The slightest misstep could lead to total defeat and utter death! "That's why I say we must wait until the Holy Emperor Rice has been successfully promoted."

"Besides... Xiu'er, you must understand that the word 'unity' seems simple, but in reality, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Countless heroes and great men have fallen because of the word 'unity'."

"Anyone who can unite the majority is a hero of all time."

"You shouldn't treat the Ten Great Dao Courts as a whole."

"There are also many internal conflicts among them."

Qin Xiu glanced at his father, then stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Based on his understanding of his father, he knew his father must have another plan, but he just hadn't told him.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Fang Heng took Yun Menglan to Changqing Temple.

Inside the ornately decorated carriage, Yun Menglan spoke softly and hesitantly, making indistinct sounds.

"Your Highness, why do you want me to stay at Changqing Temple for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng showed a helpless expression.

Before setting off today, he told Yun Menglan to stay at Changqing Temple for a while.

This made Yun Menglan somewhat dissatisfied, and she asked Fang Heng twice, but he did not give her an answer.

Left with no other choice, Yun Menglan had to resort to her trump card, serving Fang Heng at every turn.

"Ugh--"

"This is for your safety!"

"Staying at Changqing Temple for a while and avoiding this period is not a bad thing."

Upon hearing this, Yun Menglan's charming face immediately showed surprise.

"Your Highness, what about you?"

"Me? Of course I should stay in Yujing City to oversee things, how could I stay in Changqing Temple?"

Fang Heng spoke resolutely, his expression firm.

This time, he's going to make a big splash.

He felt uneasy sitting in the center of Yujing City, not in the capital.

“But…” Yun Menglan stopped, looked up at Fang Heng, her eyes brimming with tears.

"I also want to stay in the Prince's Palace. Even if there is danger, I will face it with Your Highness."

Sensing the affection in Yun Menglan's heart, Fang Heng gently stroked her head and said firmly.

"no!"

"You will stay at Changqing Temple. That's settled then."

Fang Heng's domineering words made Yun Menglan's pretty face puff up with anger.

Noticing that the beauty was angry, Fang Heng offered a comforting word.

"I came to Changqing Temple not only to bring you here, but also to ask for help."

"With experts from Changqing Temple guarding the area, what danger could I possibly be in?"

Hearing this, Yun Menglan's heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, calmed down slightly.

"What exactly is going to happen in Yujing?" Yun Menglan asked, puzzled.

She could sense it from Fang Heng's cautious attitude.

Something momentous is about to happen in Yujing City.

"It's nothing much, it's just that the Crown Prince wants to purge the court of corrupt officials!"

"hiss--"

"You almost bit me in half!"

"I know, it was an accident!" Yun Menglan's eyes showed a hint of apology, but then her worry overwhelmed the apology.

We must purge the court of corrupt officials!

This is a scene that only appears in novels and storybooks.

It's actually going to happen in Yujing City.

As for whether Fang Heng might be mistaken, Yun Menglan had no doubt at all.

"Your Highness..."

Yun Menglan's sweet cry carried an almost imperceptible hint of coquettishness.

When the two arrived at Changqing Temple and got off the carriage, Yun Menglan's mouth was full of a fishy taste.

"Disciple greets Master." Fang Heng bowed to Xuanqing Daoist.

Xuanqing Daoist sensed the aura emanating from Fang Heng, and two beams of light burst forth from his pupils.

"Another breakthrough?"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Xuanqing Daoist uttered three "good"s in a row.

He had already discussed it with Changqingzi beforehand, and he would teach Fang Heng the Immortal Technique.

However, Fang Heng's cultivation level was too low, and even with Changqingzi's Life-Giving Pill, Xuanqing Daoist was still worried.

However, today I saw that Fang Heng has already advanced to the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

The last trace of worry in my heart vanished.

"Heng'er, do you know about our sect's Immortal Technique?" Xuanqing Daoist suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng's spirits lifted.

He had been exposed to the immortal teachings of Changqing Temple since childhood.

This is the highest method of Changqing Temple. If Fang Heng is not mistaken, it is a Taiyi Divine Power.

"Master, isn't it said that the Undying Law has cultivation requirements, with the minimum requirement being a fifth-realm cultivator?" Fang Heng asked curiously.

Xuanqing Daoist stroked his long beard and chuckled.

"You should thank Senior Brother Headmaster for this."

"Your senior brother, the sect leader, is giving you a Life-Giving Pill, which can greatly lower the cultivation threshold of the Undying Technique."

So that’s it!
Fang Heng suddenly realized that he had naturally heard of the name "Eternal Life Pill".

This is a sacred healing medicine from Changqing Temple.

It takes a hundred years to refine one batch, and a batch contains anywhere from three to five pieces, making them extremely precious.

Unexpectedly, the sect leader was actually willing to take out a Life-Giving Pill.

"Heng'er, come with me."

"Today, your master will impart to you the Undying Technique!"
