I'm The Emperor of All-Heavens

Chapter 613

The setting sun is like blood, shining on the vast earth, with a dim red light.

On the ancient city wall stood a man in white fur.

He was thin and his clothes were not luxurious, but the jade ornaments around his waist showed his noble identity.

The emperor wears white jade and Xuan ribbon.

He is the son of Zhou.

The Lord of the world.

But this should have been the most powerful man in the world, but he was alone, looking at the south, like a statue, silent for a long time.

"Since the news of the state of Chu came back, your majesty has been standing here all day. Who will advise!"

"Your Majesty's bones can't stand the cold wind in winter. If you freeze your body, how can you get it?"

Several officials led the palace servants on the steps and talked anxiously.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the palace is very old, old and in disrepair, and has long been bleak.

A few palace maids and monasteries walked on the desolate road, with slow steps and dusk, exposing the sunset of the Zhou Dynasty.

The officials serving the emperor here are either old-fashioned elders who pay attention to rites and seek fame, or losers who have been excluded by the vassal states and have to make a living here.

The most miserable thing is the son of heaven. As the emperor of the world, he can't even enjoy Dayton spiritual food. He often feeds on miscellaneous food like ordinary people. In addition, his mother brings some roots of disease. He is actually weak, sick and weak.

It has reached this point. Now that barbarian Chu Zi dares to call himself the leader of the alliance, he will deprive his majesty of his last power!

No wonder the bad news came that your Majesty would stand in the city and not speak for a long time.

"Ha ha!"

However, just then, a hoarse and sad laughter suddenly sounded.

When the ministers looked, they saw the son of Zhou laughing loudly and walking down the stairs step by step.

"Your majesty!"

All the ministers rushed up and booed the cold and asked for warmth.

"Step back!"

Zhou Tianzi waved his hand and was too lazy to speak. He returned to the main hall, sat in front of the only brazier and stretched out his hand to keep warm.

"Shadow, how's Jin?"

After half a ring, Zhou Tianzi slowly exhaled and asked.

"Liu Qing returned after a disastrous defeat. The Duke of Jin tried to recover his power. Now he has been under house arrest."

A dark shadow came silently behind him and told him.

"Hurry!"

Zhou Tianzi sighed.

The princes have been superior to the son of heaven since the Canrong conquered Haojing, the king you of Zhou was killed, and the king Ping of Zhou moved to the capital Luo.

The state of Chu was good at calling itself king and despised the control of the emperor of Zhou. King Zhuang of Chu asked the emperor of Zhou about Jiuding, and his ambition was clear.

Although the state of Jin has a desire to dominate, as a vassal surnamed Ji, it can maintain the orthodoxy of the Zhou Dynasty on the surface.

At the same time, due to regional discrimination and conflict of interest, they even took up the banner of safeguarding kingship and regarded themselves as the guardian of the world.

Unfortunately, over the past hundred years, the kings of Jin have been elevated by their princes, and the emperor of Zhou has been implicated. The days have become more and more tight.

"What about the state of Chu?"

Of course, the king of Chu despised the authority of the emperor and established his own king, which also set the worst example for the princes in the world. The emperor of Zhou asked.

"The prince of Chu ascended the throne and hired Kong Qiu as the great situ with the land of the bookstore thousands of miles!"

The shadow replied and added, "Lingyin's position is temporarily vacant."

Zhou Tianzi's eyes were cold: "that's what Confucius left. He traveled around the world and peddled theories. Finally, he was paid attention to."

The great stu is in charge of civil affairs, and the registered residence is the only one under the command of Yin.

Now Kong Qiu is in this position and Lingyin is vacant. Obviously, as long as he has merit and qualifications, it is logical to become Lingyin.

Prince Zhou asked again, "how did Prince Jiang react when Kong Qiu went to the state of Chu?"

The shadow said, "don't give up sending each other."

Zhou Tianzi said strangely, "he doesn't stop?"

"Compared with Chu, Jiang is still a small country. Kong Qiu naturally hopes to go to Chu to show what he has learned. It should be unstoppable."

The dark shadow said, "Kong Qiu is very grateful to him. If he needs anything, he will lead his seventy-two disciples back to Jiang!"

"The king of Chu will not let go!"

Zhou Tianzi said coldly, "what about the state of Qi?"

The dark shadow said, "three thousand multiplied and destroyed, which hurt Qi's vitality. There are four aristocratic families fighting for power inside, and various departments of Dongyi set up troops outside. There is neither peace nor trouble at home and abroad."

Although the state of Qi is not like the state of Jin, and the power of the king is all overhead by the public Secretary, there are also four major families in China. While fighting openly and secretly, they compete for favor in front of the state of Qi, they also collude with Yan Ying to compete for power and profit.

In the past, Yan Ying was steadily suppressed. This time, he was defeated miserably, and he inevitably fell to the disadvantage.

As for the outside world, the Yan state in the north and the Lu state in the West are not very threatening, but the Dongyi tribes in the south are the trouble in their hearts.

Similar to the state of Jin, the state of Qi also annexed the territory of the Dongyi people under the banner of respecting the king and bustling the foreigners.

Since Duke Huan of Qi, the territory of the state of Qi has more than doubled and destroyed more than 40 small countries. Most of them are small tribal countries like the Dongyi. The two sides naturally become feuds. Now, taking advantage of the defeat of the state of Qi, the Dongyi tribes immediately set up troops and approached the border of the state of Qi.

The prince of Zhou raised his mouth: "where's Wu?"

"Qingji won the throne again. After he destroyed the state of Yue in the south, he was unable to forge ahead."

The shadow said, "Helu is still in exile in Chu. Sun Wu is smart in using his troops and wreaks havoc in Chu. Chu people can't help them."

"So to speak, there is no winner in this great chaos, princes and countries?"

Zhou Tianzi wondered.

This war is strange.

Among the three great powers in the world, Jin, Qi and Chu have suffered varying degrees of damage, especially the state of Chu. The Yan God array has been broken, the fire spirit pearl has been lost, and the main army has suffered heavy losses. If it does not still occupy such a large territory, it has fallen to the level of a great power.

In the newly rising state of Wu, the king has changed again. Although Qingji was originally a legitimate successor, the rising momentum of the king of a country has also been curbed.

Jiang lost Confucianism, the army returned to China, recuperated, continued to do business and opened up business routes.

Normally speaking, the son of Zhou should be the happiest to sit and watch the internal friction among the princes and countries, but somehow, he always felt that something was wrong this time.

Black shadow was his most powerful confidant. Seeing that the emperor's face was cloudy and sunny, he speculated: "Your Majesty, the Confucianism and Taoism of Kong Qiu are growing, isn't it driven by them?"

"Chu and Confucianism are great enemies!"

Zhou Tianzi looked sternly: "I will never make them feel better!"

The Confucianism and Taoism of Kong Qiu preached the restoration of Zhou rites, but never saw him, the son of Zhou. What does this mean?

It shows that Kong Qiu believes that the general trend of the Zhou Dynasty is gone, and only princes can carry out what Confucianism has learned.

Now the most hated king of Chu and the most hated Kong Qiu come together to call themselves the leader of the alliance. When other big countries are in trouble, this is a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh.

"I will send an edict to the world in a few days. You continue to explore the intelligence of various countries!"

"Yes!"

The dark shadow retreated quietly and disappeared into the palace. Looking at the empty hall, Zhou Tianzi suddenly looked up to the sky. It seemed that there was a floating mountain with a divine sword inserted obliquely in his eyes.

His lips trembled and he said two words, full of expectation:

"Divine world..."
