Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Mi Dao Palace is a secluded and beautiful palace in the Great Jin Palace.

The pavilions and towers in the courtyard are hidden in the lush woods, and in the center of the courtyard, there is a pond full of lotus flowers.

This is the residence arranged by Zhou Yu Niang for Zhao Mu.

According to historical records, this Mi Dao Palace is where the Changsheng Emperor usually lived in seclusion.

As soon as Zhao Mu moved in yesterday, he felt as if he was in another world.

I still remember that when I just crossed over, the Great Jin Dynasty seemed to be ruled by the Changsheng Emperor.

Unfortunately, the emperor pursued immortality for a lifetime, but ultimately failed to cross the heavenly life.

Now even the bones are probably about to turn into a pile of yellow earth.

But Zhao Mu has been in this world for nearly two hundred years.

Today, everything has changed.

"Time flies so fast!"

Zhao Mu sighed slightly.

At this time, Shen Yu brought a group of palace maids and eunuchs to move a pile of books into the Mi Dao Palace.

"Sir, all the copies of the martial arts secrets are here."

Shen Yu bowed and said.

"Well, you go out, remember to give orders, no one is allowed to enter the Mi Dao Palace without my order in the future."

"Yes, sir."

Shen Yu led people away.

Zhao Mu picked up a book of secrets and read it at a glance.

Although there are many secrets, it doesn't take too long to read them all with his Tianren realm.

However, it takes a lot of effort to remove the dross and keep the essence, and learn from the strengths and make up for the weaknesses.

Zhao Mu is ready for a protracted war.

He estimated that it would take him at least ten years or even longer to complete the "Martial Classic".

But it doesn't matter, he has plenty of time, just be patient.

Just as Zhao Mu began to read the martial arts secrets, the pond in the Mi Dao Palace suddenly rippled.

On the surface of the pond, two shadows swam slowly underwater, passing through lotus leaves.

Suddenly, the shadows emerged from the water.

It was a small turtle as big as a fist, and a black snake as thick as an arm and a thumb.

The eyes of the small turtle and the black snake were smart, full of intelligence like humans, and they were obviously not ordinary creatures.

They swam several feet apart in the water, and each other's eyes were full of vigilance and hostility.

They looked at Zhao Mu, who was flipping through the martial arts secrets in the palace, and then turned over and went into the water and disappeared.

Time passed day by day.

Except for occasionally going out of the palace, Zhao Mu spent most of his time in seclusion in the Midao Palace, concentrating on studying various martial arts.

After constantly learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, his "Martial Classic" has gradually taken shape.

While Zhao Mu was concentrating on studying "Martial Classic", Zhou Yu Niang continued to deal with the court.

She continued to gather power and win over various forces, allowing herself to step closer to the throne step by step.

Five years later, Sima Hongyi was critically ill. After diagnosis and treatment, the imperial physician confirmed that he would not live long.

Two years later, Sima Hongyi died, leaving behind a huge harem.

Zhou Yu Niang selected a young one from his many descendants and pushed him to the throne, with the reign title Xinyuan, but he was just a puppet.

There was not no one in the court who opposed this.

Some people even secretly conspired to push the biological mother of Emperor Xinyuan to be the empress dowager in the name of Zhou Yu Niang's lack of descendants.

Unfortunately, Emperor Xinyuan had already been adopted by Zhou Yu Niang and became her legitimate son.

Coupled with Zhou Yu Niang's overwhelming power, those people were ultimately unable to stir up much waves.

Even afterwards, those people disappeared directly, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead?

Two years later, Zhou Yu Niang abolished Emperor Xinyuan in the name of Emperor Xinyuan's disrespect for ancestors, and then pushed another prince to the throne, with the reign title Yongguang.

But Emperor Yongguang's reign was shorter, and he was deposed again after only one year.

So far, Zhou Yu Niang did not push other princes to ascend the throne, but began the final preparations for her own ascension.

…

In the tenth year since Zhao Mu moved into the Seeking Dao Palace, the deduction of "Martial Classic" has reached its final stage.

That day, Zhao Mu sat by the lotus pond, reading a secret book carefully, which was Zhou Yu Niang's "Female Extreme Overlord Secret".

Although this secret book is suitable for women to practice, it is a method that leads directly to the heavenly realm after all, so it is of great research value.

Suddenly, a small turtle and a black snake in the pond climbed ashore, lying on Zhao Mu's feet on the left and right, staring at each other covetously.

"What, are you two fighting again?"

Zhao Mu chuckled at the two little guys.

He found these two little guys in the pond a few years ago, and he didn't know when they entered the palace?

Zhao Mu asked the people in the palace, and there were no such wild turtles and snakes in the palace.

Although the two little guys live in the same pond, they seem to be born to be incompatible and like to fight in the pond for no reason.

"Okay, we all live together, can't we get along well? Are you going to glare at each other like this every day in the future?"

Zhao Mu shook his head and stood up: "I have something to go out for, you two play at home, remember not to fight."

He ignored the two little guys, put down the "Female Domination Secret", and walked out of the Midao Palace.

A breeze blew, and his sweaty back suddenly felt cold.

...

After all, almost two hundred years have passed, and many places in the capital are different from when I first crossed over.

Even the Jiaofangsi, where I had lived for decades, has undergone great changes.

In addition to many beautiful courtesans, there are also many handsome young men in the Jiaofangsi.

This is a change that has gradually appeared after Zhou Yu Niang came to power.

After all, Zhou Yu Niang is a woman. After coming to power, in order to consolidate her position, she not only won over powerful families from all sides, but also personally promoted many officials to positions, a large part of whom were female officials.

This also made the status of women in the Jin Dynasty rise, so in order to cater to market demand, the major brothels in the capital, including the Jiaofangsi, made major changes to the personnel structure.

So now the Jiaofangsi has a wider business scope.

Speaking of Zhou Yu Niang, she is now in the limelight in the court.

In less than ten years, Zhou Yu Niang deposed and enthroned the emperor twice in a row.

On the surface, she was dissatisfied with the current emperor, believing that his ability or virtue was lacking and unable to lead the country.

But in fact, she was using the means of deposing the emperor to test the reactions of all parties.

During her two deposing of the emperor, she did not encounter any decent resistance, which means that most people in the court have accepted the fact that she is in charge of the country.

And this also means that the time for Zhou Yu Niang to ascend the throne and become emperor has finally come.

Zhao Mu walked around the street for a while and then walked towards the palace.

When he walked to the gate of the palace, suddenly a luxurious carriage drove up from behind.

The carriage was engraved with the family code of the royal Sima family. Obviously, there was a royal family member sitting in the car, but I don’t know which one it was?
