Chapter 29 Rumors
"The Taoist priest is aware of it," said Ge Shuhuan, "this is exactly what I want to mention, but it is still early today. Why don't you let me tell you?"
Zhang Heyan nodded, "It's so good, I also want to hear a slightly longer story."
"First of all, let me tell you about the affairs of the Great Zhou National Church..."
The Great Zhou is one of the four countries under the world, so it naturally has the power of the sky. The Great Zhou royal family is the only minority of the four countries that can allow women to inherit the throne. It is precisely because of this that there has been a voice that is not peaceful in the entire country.
However, the empress of the Great Zhou Kingdom today has extremely cruel and domineering methods. She is the daughter of the emperor and has been in the position of the eldest princess for twenty years, and she has a solid foundation.
After taking office as Emperor Zhou Long Yubin Tian, some tribes in the East China Sea and those pirates wandering in the sea gathered together to tear off a piece of flesh and blood while the country was most turbulent.
The female princess asked her younger brother, the second prince, to supervise the country, to hold a series of sacrificial activities after the death of the Zhou emperor. She personally led a large army to start from the coastal areas and spent half a year to clean up all the pirates.
She even sat on the most powerful flagship of the Great Zhou Kingdom and cleaned up all the islands around the East China Sea, so that there would be no more pirate disasters on the entire seaside for twenty years.
Afterwards, she returned to Beijing with the power of victory, and the second prince of the regent abdicated and gave up the wise, and was crowned the emperor.
But it was this inappropriate ascension that caused the Zhou Kingdom, a country with benevolence and filial piety as its tradition, to send a disharmonious voice. The literati clamored that the second prince should have inherited the throne, because he was the old emperor who kept mourning until the last moment.
How domineering the Queen was? How could she allow these literati to talk nonsense? So the flag of Confucianism in the Great Zhou Kingdom suddenly collapsed, and the academies and holy temples spread all over the country were all destroyed in front of the Queen's extremely cruel means.
It was not until the Han Dynasty came that the Master of the Democratic Republic drove a carriage to the Palace of Zhou State and had a long talk with the Empress all night that the action of destroying the Confucian academy and arresting Confucian students came to an end.
However, in this country, all Confucian literati were also prohibited from participating in so-called preaching activities, and their scope of action was limited to the officialdom and academic circles. As for other places, they were forcibly prohibited by the Queen.
The empress also followed other countries and decided to support several sects to fight against the overpopular Confucian culture in China, which led to the theory of national religion this time.
"This queen is really a decisive person. If it were someone else, it might not have dared to make up such a determination!" Zhang Heyan sighed.
Ge Shuhuan nodded, "She holds the military power of the entire country in her hand, which is similar to the founding emperor. The rights she has are completely incomparable to every king who inherits the country!"
Zhang Heyan took a sip of sour plum soup, "But, under the suppression of power, chaos in the country will inevitably prevail. I'm afraid this queen has already seen it, right?"
"It's not just chaos. The Great Zhou Dynasty has been very lively in recent years, so there is not only one empress, but this empress is obviously unwilling to share the full strength. Those princes have a big opinion. If it weren't for the army's suppression, this country would have been a pool of mud in an instant."
Zhang Heyan smiled and said, "I'm afraid there's more than that? The other two countries are eyeing each other. Even if there is some chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they will not sit and watch the other two countries find opportunities for invasion!"
"Maybe like what the Taoist priest said, there is part of the reason, but this actually has little to do with the people in the rivers and lakes on the boat." Ge Shuhuan glanced around. Those merchants and scholars had actually left at this moment. The most common people in the entire lobby were the shouting rivers and lakes.
"The hero violates the ban with martial arts. The so-called knights are never a person who keeps his composure!" Zhang Heyan commented, "Tell me, is it that a magic weapon came to the world or a martial arts secret book reappearing? Is it because a myth in a certain world that speaks out and wants to accept disciples?"
"The Taoist priest guessed correctly, but it was also true. Looking at the entire world, only these things can attract so many people's attention!" Ge Shuhuan smiled, "The children of the world are actually just running for the benefit!"
"It's like my identity. My identity will only make them feel awe-inspiring, but if you say my master's name, I will become the center of the entire world tomorrow!"
Zhang and Yan smiled, making each other's heart tremble slightly, which could be regarded as a naked threat.
"Wudang Temple's reputation as the old immortal Zhang is vividly remembered by everyone!" Ge Shuhuan said, "This matter may not be as good as that of the old immortal Zhang, but it is not much worse."
He told the story again, but this story was a little shorter than the previous one.
Although the world is not very prosperous, the courts of the four countries are very strong, but due to the long-term success of the world, the number of knights in the world has become more and more.
As long as people are not around the four countries and have not been affected by foreign invasion or war, they will still have to embark on the road of martial arts.
Especially compared to ordinary people, the life of the heroes of the martial arts world drinking big bowls and eating meat is naturally envious.
However, many famous mountains and rivers, wild beasts and monsters in the wilderness also made the governments of the four countries not forcibly prohibit the fall of swords. Instead, they also encouraged people to learn martial arts and fight against the monsters that ran out of the wild mountains and rivers.
It is in this environment that all kinds of heroes emerge in the world, and all kinds of stories in the world are naturally spread everywhere. There is never a lack of luck in the world. After jumping into the cliff, you will get martial arts secrets and have been famous for years.
That's true, whether it is the magical weapon, sword or the martial arts secret book, it has become a must-fight item for every person in the martial arts world, and they all yearn for the opportunity to soar into the sky.
This time, this opportunity came from the Great Zhou Dynasty that caused these people from the world to come. This story comes from a sword more than a hundred years ago.
The story is naturally very cliché. The owner of this sword is respected by people in the martial arts world as the Eagle King. This king was invincible for more than 20 years in the martial arts world more than a hundred years ago, and then disappeared.
Originally, his news would not have been spread by so many people. Until about twenty years ago, a literati from Xia State took out a book from the tomb of the Eagle King, and that book turned out to be a diary!
The diary records in detail the Eagle King's success, and then all the goals point to the long sword he got when he was a young man. It is rumored that he has a peerless set of mental methods, and the changes in learning can spread throughout the world.
"And just about three months ago, someone found the King's sword burial place, which is the so-called... Sword Tomb!"
