Chapter 474: Chasing the World
Zhenyuan Dynasty capital.

“Lingzhou has completely fallen?”

Li Kang’s face turned extremely ugly.

Now, most of the northern border has become Bai Yuan’s territory, and he is undoubtedly the number one force in this world.

Moreover, Bai Yuan proved his truth through strength, his power far exceeded that of ordinary gods and he was extremely powerful.

Both he and Li Dai were extremely wary.

“Damn, damn!”

Li Kang’s eyes were red.

If this continues, Xuan Yang will really die.

Not to mention how he would face the interrogation of his ancestors after his death, in the writings of later generations, he and Li Dai would definitely be portrayed as incompetent rulers, and be used as examples of education.

Li Dai absolutely didn’t want to see this kind of thing.

Liang Yuankang stood aside.

No expression can be seen.

To prove one’s truth with force is too powerful. The North is not without powerful sealers.

But Bai Yuan alone can hold back at least three powerful Tongshen masters, and then Ji Feng can lead his troops to kill at will, and finally kill all the forces except for the three Tongshen masters.

Naturally, it is equivalent to the extermination of the clan.

There is no solution at all.

But in this world, only Bai Yuan can do such unreasonable things.

One force can bring down ten.

There is no chance of struggle at all, and all conspiracies and tricks become nothing in the face of absolute strength.

After all, Bai Yuan, who proved his truth through force, was simply too strong.

Although the power in the north is weaker than that in the Central Plains and Jiangnan.

But if they ask themselves, if they met Bai Yuan, the result would probably be no different from those forces in the North. They would all end up losing, without any surprises.

“Master, what should I do?”

Li Kang could only turn his head and look at Liang Yuankang.

This is his last hope.

Liang Yuankang sighed and said, “I will go to Bailu Academy and then head north. Whether it will work or not depends on God’s will.”

The Shuofang Army swept across the northern border.

Bai Yuan led the army to drive all the Northern Sealers out of the northern border, and there was a desert ahead.

Going further, you will reach the Western Desert.

Yang Fangyu looked at the desert in front of him.

A sense of heroism suddenly arises.

“That’s what a man should do!”

They set out from Dongling Prefecture in the northern border and traveled westward, capturing countless cities and destroying countless forces.

To the westernmost part of the empire.

Such a terrifying record of battle could probably only be achieved by the great men who had followed Emperor Taizu in battle.

“Leave a name in history.”

Yang Fangyu never thought that he would have such a glorious day.

This is the highest realm that a soldier pursues.

It’s all about choosing the right person.

Bai Yuan rode a handsome white demon horse, holding the reins.

The North is just the beginning.

The Divine Gate is about to open, so he must make adequate preparations. Although he has no use for luck, since the three great heavenly masters of the Dragon and Tiger Sect have calculated that it will be of great use, the more the better.

Ji Feng laughed.

“Where do we go next?”

He never thought that he, a mere Taoist priest, would one day be able to conquer the world.

Just as Bai Yuan was about to turn his horse around.

Several figures flew over the sky.

Looking closely, it turned out to be an acquaintance.

Yan Shaoan and Liang Yuankang came together, and with them came two middle-aged Confucian scholars.

Bai Yuan looked calm.

This is the confidence that absolute strength brings him.

“Master Yan, Master Liang, gentlemen.”

Although he had never met these two middle-aged Confucian scholars, he could still recognize from the portraits in the intelligence that these two were the vice-presidents of two of the four major academies today, Bailu Academy and Yingshan Academy, and the scholars of Tongshen Pass.

The reason why Xuan Yang is able to dominate the martial arts world is closely related to these scholars.

Yan Shaoan looked at Bai Yuan.

Feeling emotional.

He had seen Bai Yuan since he was in Lingzhou. At that time, he only thought that Bai Yuan was a good young man who would become an important official in the court in the future, but he did not expect that this person actually had the appearance of a real dragon.

To prove his truth with strength and be on par with Taizu, is he not a true dragon?

“Master Bai, long time no see.”

Liang Yuankang spoke first, and then got straight to the point: “I believe Lord Bai should know why we are here.”

“Stop the war.”

Bai Yuan chuckled: “Seniors, all I am doing is stopping the war.”

“.”

The four of them were silent.

“The gate of God will open, and there will be chaos in the world. We must put an end to the chaos before the gate of God opens, otherwise the world will be in danger.”

“Xuan Yang is the Xuan Yang of the world. If the world perishes, it won’t matter whether Xuan Yang is still there or not.”

This is a great disobedience.

If it were in the past, Bai Yuan would naturally not say such words. After all, Xuan Yang was still a giant to him, and any speck of dust was enough to crush him to death.

But now.

He is already qualified to be on equal footing with the entire Xuanyang.

Yan Shaoan sighed softly.

Bai Yuan is indeed planning to rebel.

But all this was not surprising to him. The situation was different and Bai Yuan was just going with the flow.

At this time.

The vice president of Bailu Academy suddenly laughed out loud: “I think what Lord Bai said makes a lot of sense. Lord Bai, I wonder if Shuofang can accept my Bailu Academy disciples as officials?”

Yan Shaoan looked at the vice-president of Bailu Academy, Jiang Shang.

He had already guessed Jiang Shang’s intention.

Just as Yingshan Academy had done before, the academy never cared who was on the throne.

What they want is a stable, unified empire.

Previously, Li Kang and Li Dai were the most likely candidates, so they supported Li Kang and Li Dai.

Now Bai Yuan is the most likely candidate, so of course he would side with Bai Yuan without hesitation.

Go with the flow.

In layman’s terms, it’s a fence-sitter.

This is how scholars learn the art of following the emperor.

Just like Emperor Taizu
The trend is irresistible.

With the current strength of Li Kang and Li Dai, even if they are combined, it is impossible to reproduce the glory of Xuan Yang in the past.

A hint of determination flashed in Yan Shaoan’s eyes: “We are willing to help Lord Bai quell the war. Lord Bai can be crowned as the King of One Word. We only ask that Lord Bai can give Xuan Yang a good reputation, and the throne can be established by himself.”

As soon as these words came out.

The other three looked surprised.

The throne can be established by oneself.

They didn’t expect Yan Shaoan to be so cruel and say such words.

In this way, it is equivalent to Xuan Yang becoming Bai Yuan’s Xuan Yang, and the one on the throne is just a puppet.

And Bai Yuan is not even sixty years old yet.

There are still more than 500 years left to live, and by then it will be almost impossible for the Li family to regain power.

If Bai Yuan chose a member of the Li family as the emperor.

It is even questionable whether the Li family is still the current Li family.

The vice president of Bailu Academy laughed and said, “Master Yan’s move is in line with the will of heaven. If Master Bai is willing, I can write a letter in the name of Bailu Academy.”

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Originally I came to persuade him not to rebel.

Now, just give Xuan Yang to him, as long as he keeps the last bit of face for the Li family.

He is the one who decides who will be the emperor.

This is not a big deal.

The King of Side by Side?

“interesting.”

If he had the power of the two former princes, it would be much easier for him to unify the world.

“Senior Liang, Dean Wang, what do you think?”

Liang Yuankang sighed softly.

He also understood that the general trend could not be violated.

Although Yan Shaoan’s approach seems absurd, it is actually the best solution. A puppet emperor is better than the direct destruction of Xuanyang’s country.

“Master Bai, everything is up to you.” In contrast, Vice President Wang of Yingshan Academy did not have so many concerns: “Master Bai, this move will benefit the country and the people, and it is a great good.”

After one month.

A piece of news shocked the world.

Former Jiedushi Bai Yuan led his troops into the old capital of Xuanyang and reopened the imperial city.

He carried the imperial seal into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The previous emperor’s last will was passed down, enthroning Li Huan as the crown prince of Qingzhou and making him emperor, with the reign title of Yuanqi.

No one expected it.

Xuan Yang actually survived like this. They had all suffered enough from the war, and everyone praised Bai Yuan as a savior.

Bai Yuan’s fame spread throughout the world in a short time.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The morning light shines on the golden palace.

Emperor Li Huan looked at the dragon robe and felt that everything was too unreal.

“Brother Li, if I ask you to be the emperor of this world, would you be willing?”

“it is good!”

He still remembers the conversation he had with Bai Yuan.

He thought it was a joke, but he didn’t expect Bai Yuan to actually give him the throne of emperor.

“how?”

At this time, Bai Yuan’s voice came from behind.

Li Huan turned around and said with a wry smile: “Are you really confident that I can be the emperor?”

Bai Yuan said indifferently: “Just give it a try. If you don’t want to do it, then just change it.”

Li Huan rolled his eyes: “You think the emperor is a girl from the Jiaofangsi, why don’t you change a batch?”

Bai Yuan chuckled.

He had his reasons for choosing Li Huan.

On the one hand, Li Huan has the closest relationship with him and is the most reliable, which is also a crucial point. If a traitor is chosen, there will be some trouble.

On the other hand, Li Huan’s actions in Lingzhou made Bai Yuan feel that Li Huan might be a good emperor.

There are many definitions of a good emperor.

Those who expand the territory can be called good emperors.

Those who work hard to govern the country can also be called good emperors.

Bai Yuan felt that Li Huan might become a good emperor who could rest and recuperate.

Then he gained a good reputation as Renzong in later generations.

The world is so bad. Bai Yuan couldn’t do anything before. Now that he has the ability to do it, he will do more within his ability.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

The ideas of scholars are still interesting.

Bai Yuan patted Li Huan on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go. It’s time to go to court.”

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The long-lost civil and military officials all stood in the hall.

The old eunuch shouted in a shrill voice: “Kneel!”

All officials knelt down.

The people cheered: “Long live the emperor!”

Li Huan looked at the civil and military officials. He could never have imagined that he would one day sit on the throne.

The first day of the new emperor’s accession to the throne.

Naturally, there was a lot of things to do, and the court meeting lasted from morning until late at night.

From how to regain the world to how to reduce taxes.

Each item was discussed for a long time.

Yan Shaoan is still the Grand Tutor, Liang Yuankang is still the Grand Tutor, Xu Dingchun is still the Great General, and many of the old men in the six ministries have not changed.

Li Kang and Li Dai were both granted the title of idle prince and stayed in the capital.

As a newly promoted spiritual master, Dong Wanjun was named King of Lingzhou.

Bai Yuan is the king of the world.

There is also a more common name, Regent.

All important decisions made by Xuan Yang must be approved by him before they can be implemented. He is the one who truly decides the direction of the empire.

outside the hall.

Dong Wanjun and Bai Yuan stood on the magnificent walls of the imperial palace.

“Why don’t you try ruling from behind the scenes?”

Dong Wanjun looked at Bai Yuan with a smile.

Bai Yuan said calmly: “I’m not a woman, I’m not interested in that, Master, please don’t tease me.”

Neither he nor Dong Wanjun attended the court.

They are all princes.

Have the power not to attend court.

Originally, he was planning to give his advisor Xu Dingchun a title of prince with a higher title, but Xu Dingchun said that being a national general was more familiar.

Bai Yuan no longer forced it.

“The emperor’s mind is ever-changing. Once he sits on that throne, he will eventually change. You should understand what I mean.”

Dong Wanjun spoke.

Bai Yuan nodded: “I understand.”

There are too many cases of brothers turning against each other.

The emperor is a power animal and does not allow anyone to put pressure on him.

Li Huan is willing now, but that doesn’t mean he will be willing in the future, and there is no guarantee that his descendants will be willing.

There will definitely be a conflict between the Li Bai family.

This is an almost unsolvable problem.

But… this is almost non-existent for Bai Yuan.

Not to mention that he can live for a full six hundred years, and after his genes have been transformed by the Divine Mansion Technique, his offspring will become more and more talented.

Rather than establishing a thousand-year dynasty, he was more interested in establishing an eternal family.

The Bai family has produced heroes from generation to generation, so naturally they can transcend everything.

If the emperor is obedient, then he is the emperor.

If you don’t listen, just change someone else.

The success or failure of a dynasty depends on luck.

Since ancient times, no dynasty has lasted more than ten thousand years.

But families and sects can. It’s not that these forces are really stronger than the dynasty, but it is precisely because they did not get too much that they have been able to preserve themselves.

Bai Yuan did not think that as long as he became emperor, he would be unstoppable forever.

Emperor Taizu couldn’t do it, and so could he.

This iron rule.

So it is better to settle for the second best and be a family idler.

The new emperor Xuanyang ascended the throne.

The reactions of various sects in the world were very different. Some rose up to resist, while others decisively chose to surrender.

The fastest of them is the Hanging Temple.

The Hanging Temple was most powerful in supporting the rebels, and after they surrendered to the imperial court, it was also most powerful in suppressing the rebels.

Bai Yuan had to admit it.

There must be something about these bald donkeys that can survive this long.

Since he could conquer the Hanging Temple without any soldiers, he certainly wouldn’t do anything unnecessary.

Those who had a great grudge against the Hanging Temple were the late emperor Li Chengyuan, Li Kang and Li Dai, and they had almost no intersection with him, the former governor of Shuofang.

The Hanging Temple may also be aware of this.

Only then would he surrender so decisively.

They can also maintain their status as the majority.

In just five years, under Bai Yuan’s strong suppression, the world showed signs of stability.

The late emperor dreamed of clearing up the martial arts world.

Unexpectedly, this wish was fulfilled by Bai Yuan.

When he traveled around the world, he naturally took away the files of each sect and registered them in a book.

The sect should stop trying to expand blindly.

All the sealers were also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

Of course, the combined strength of these people is still extremely powerful, so Bai Yuan turned a blind eye to them.

As long as you don’t commit any serious mistakes.

He hardly ever bothered these people.

The two sides gradually developed this tacit understanding.

Because the Divine Gate is about to open, many sealers are secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the day when the Divine Gate opens.

With a stable environment, Li Huan had room to implement a series of policies.

For a while.

The world is in peace.

Xuan Yang’s luck condensed again.
