The fairy father

"Greetings, Your Majesty, and Sister-in-law."

"No need to be polite."

Li Ping'an raised his hand to support her, and Mu Ningning took the initiative to move forward, holding Yao Ji's hand and sitting down together.

Mu Ningning's bedroom is not an office space. The main hall here is also decorated warmly and cozy. At this moment, Li Ping'an is sitting behind the long table in the main seat, and Mu Ningning is chatting with Yao Ji beside him.

Yao Ji was afraid of delaying Li Ping'an's enlightenment, so she quickly explained her purpose.

She said: "Brother, sister-in-law, I always feel a little irritable when practicing in the Heavenly Palace. I want to go to the mortal world to take a look. I wonder if it's okay?"

Mu Ningning was a little surprised: "If you want to go out, go. Why does our Li family have such a family rule?"

"This..."

"Do you want to go to Nanzhou?" Li Ping'an smiled with narrowed eyes.

Yao Ji sighed softly: "Brother knows me."

"Did someone tell you something?" Li Pingan said, "Nanzhou is in a turbulent time. If you want to go out, you can go to Dongzhou, Xizhou, or the eight surrounding worlds."

Yao Ji said: "No one said anything to Yao Ji, but Yao Ji has recently realized something, and it seems that part of Yao Ji's destiny has not been fulfilled."

"That part of the destiny has been abolished."

Li Pingan shook his head:

"Besides, now I don't interfere with the thoughts of living beings, and the way of heaven can't do anything wrong without telling me.

"There is no destiny... What you accidentally saw when you were practicing was just a trace left by the original way of heaven. There is no so-called great calamity of the gods in this world."

Yao Ji was slightly stunned.

She whispered: "Then, if I don't go to Nanzhou, it won't have any impact?"

"Of course not," Li Pingan smiled, "Not only you, I won't let Long Ji go down either, because there is really no need for it. "

Yao Ji blinked, seeming a little disappointed.

Li Pingan knew what she was thinking.

In this world... she didn't seem to be a real person, her background was too strong.

In short, the reason why Yao Ji had this idea was actually due to a sense of being needed. When the sense of being needed is satisfied, you will gain a sense of existence and recognition.

This is one of the topics that Li Pingan has recently realized.

Li Pingan said in a gentle voice: "Have you been stuck recently?"

"Well," Yao Ji blinked, "how did you know, brother?"

"Nothing can be hidden from me," Li Pingan smiled with narrowed eyes, "The reason why you are now hitting a bottleneck is because you are uncertain and lack a goal, and you don't know how to go on the next road."

Yao Ji hummed softly.

"So," Li Pingan said, "I will arrange a small job for you to keep you busy, how about it?"

"Please give the order, brother! "

"Okay, okay," Li Pingan smiled proudly.

The difference between Yao Ji and other immortals in heaven lies in her origin.

Chaotic creatures.

Li Pingan said seriously: "There are not many worries in the world, and now there are only two disasters, one small and one big. Needless to say, the small disaster will be returned to the power of the Great Dao in heaven, but the big disaster is the end of heaven and earth."

Yao Ji and Mu Ningning listened carefully.

Li Pingan's voice inadvertently brought a sense of chanting:

"I have previously issued four plans to fight against the end of heaven and earth. Among these plans, the most important thing is to hunt down innate gods and demons.

"Yao Ji, I know you don't want to face the matter of your origin here..."

"Brother! I am willing."

Yao Ji immediately said:

"I have thought about it before, whether I can help do these things. After all, although I am not as comfortable as the Peacock Fairy in the Chaos Sea, my soul will not have too many obstacles."

Li Pingan thought for a while: "In this case, then this heavy matter will be handed over to you."

Yao Ji's eyes lit up, she stood up and turned outside the table, kneeling on one knee to Li Pingan.

"I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

"Don't be so serious," Li Pingan said with a smile, "Get up, I haven't told you what to do yet."

"Hey, aren't you going to fight against the innate gods and demons?"

"The innate gods and demons in the Chaos Sea all have the power of a semi-saint."

Li Pingan opened his left hand, and several intertwined auras appeared on it, and then condensed into a jade plate.

He pushed the jade token over and said with a smile:

"It contains a magic spell, which has no other function. You can use it in the Chaos Sea to mark those innate gods and demons.

"Each innate god and demon is formed by a huge number of true spirits. These true spirits are our breakthrough point.

"Later, you will use this marking method to mark as many innate gods and demons as possible.

"In addition, you still need to retreat for a period of time, so go to Xuandu City. I have prepared a retreat place for you. When you come out, you must have at least the strength of Taiyi Realm, and with the special attributes of your soul, you can come and go freely in the Chaos Sea. "

Yao Ji pursed her lips tightly, bowed her head and saluted: "Yes!"

"You can take a look at the Demon Scouts of the Heavenly Court. If you are trustworthy and have good qualifications, you can also choose to take them with you. "

Li Pingan said slowly:

"This matter is indeed a bit difficult, and it is not a one-day job.

"You are just one of the sentinels. I will send more sentinels to enter the Chaos Sea to mark the innate gods and demons and explore the secrets of the Chaos Sea.

"So, you don't have to feel too much pressure, and don't think about what will happen if you can't do it.

"If you are bored outside, come back and reunite with your family at any time."

"Yes," Yao Ji agreed with a smile, and walked back to Mu Ningning's side with a smile.

A fairy brought fairy fruit and fine wine.

Li Ping'an didn't stay for long. After drinking a few cups, he went to the inner hall under the pretext of retreating to gain enlightenment.

He placed a small house in Xuandu City, surrounded by the Chaos Bell Daoyun, which accelerated the flow of time. He also placed many insights into it based on the path of Yao Ji's cultivation.

He can't do this kind of thing too much, otherwise it will trigger a backlash.

But it can still be used if you train a few masters.

After doing this, Li Ping'an appeared as a phantom and chatted with the Archmage who had returned to his 'post'.

Then he strolled around the edge of the heaven and earth formation, and the shadow turned into a wisp of spiritual energy and dissipated.

Heaven’s fleet still needs to be built.

If these non-original resources between heaven and earth are not used to make weapons to hunt the innate gods and demons that can fill the origin of heaven and earth, do we have to wait for the end of heaven and earth and let everyone die together?

‘Is this a form of hegemony? ’

‘The innate gods and demons were still alive and well. ’

‘It should be considered. ’

Li Ping'an fell into deep thought.

‘There seems to be no way to reconcile the great love in the world with external plunder. ’

‘Well, as long as you lower your moral standards, no one can stop your plan. ’

‘It’s pretty good for Pindao to be able to consider living beings instead of just human beings. ’

He raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't think much about these things.

All kinds of views and arguments here can all lead to the Tao.

Just like the struggle between big countries in his hometown, the essence is to compete for resources and living space. This principle is universal everywhere.

The prehistoric civilization plundered the chaotic civilization. This is the essence of what he will do next.

Nothing to sugarcoat.

‘The blame is mine and I will bear it. ’

…

Once a person starts to fall, it's like stepping on the accelerator while going down a mountain.

The speed is like taking off.

Li Ping'an's clone lives in Xiqi City, so far away from Chaoge City, but he can always hear "romances" about Emperor Xin.

If we look closely, the fact that the people of Xiqi City dared to discuss Emperor Xin's affairs was actually a great improvement in the people's wisdom here, and also reflected the success of Ji Chang's plan to "get rid of the threat of sacrifices to the great merchants".

Emperor Xin was in the prime of life and had great achievements in conquering the Dongyi tribe, so it was inevitable that he would be praised.

At the beginning, he liked to drink and have fun, choose beauties, and play songs every night.

Later, there was singing and dancing day and night.

However, Di Xin's physical foundation is really good - after all, he was left behind by Donghuang Taiyi, and he can be regarded as an entry-level physical trainer - so his record is very strong.

What is talked about by the people is Ye Yu Qi Ba and so on.

What it refers to specifically, the Taoist master certainly doesn’t understand.

He only has a few wives.

The Shang Kingdom can be passed down for such a long time, and it is inseparable from the remonstrance ministers of the Shang kings who dared to speak out. According to the rules set and strengthened by Shang Tang and Wu Ding, the Shang kings could not kill the remonstrators at will.

If they dare to scold the king, they will be killed by the king, that will be their honor.

But who is Di Xin?

He proclaimed himself the Ming Lord, and wanted to solve the Shang Kingdom's internal and external troubles before he ascended to heaven.

So Di Xin made up his mind about the ministers in front of him.

The Shang State had a feudal system, which was the basis for the birth and existence of princes. Most of the ministers in the court came from one family. Many of these families had fiefdoms outside. These fiefdoms were spread everywhere and were worked by slaves.

The first thing Di Xin thought of was to use the fiefdoms of these ministers as a threat. If anyone came to remonstrate and scold him, he would take over the fiefdoms of these ministers.

The method is also very simple - reward the edges of these fiefdoms to other ministers.

This really caused several families to fight each other.

Di Xin heard less than half of the advice, so he continued to drink and have sex, and developed various novel ways to play, which became popular among businessmen.

Gradually, Di Xin was no longer satisfied with this.

He started doing some fancy things.

He also began to set his sights on some women with more mature charm, such as... the wives of some ministers.

There is no such thing as loyalty in the Shang Kingdom.

The wives and children of ministers are often more open-minded. Those with deeper backgrounds have a wider range of friends, while those with weaker backgrounds are honest and obedient.

Therefore, it was very convenient for Emperor Xin to take action. When this kind of thing happened at first, it was actually beneficial to the friendship between the monarch and his ministers. Some ministers who wanted to make progress were very happy, but when they met two ministers with a hot temper, they started to yell loudly.

Emperor Xin's reputation for this incident spread like this.

For a time, all the ministers remonstrated.

Di Xin almost killed someone in anger.

However, he still adhered to the laws of his ancestors and did not blame the admonishers too much.

After two years of this, Di Xin really came up with an idea.

change.

What he made was not a major change, but he began to select capable ministers and generals from those social groups with humble backgrounds, such as leaders and generals among prisoners of war.

A group of capable officials entered the various power classes in Chaoge City, and the voices of the admonishing ministers suddenly became softer when they spoke.

Di Xin couldn't help but be happy.

Managing hundreds of officials is so simple.

He can also get a reputation as a 'promoter of virtuous people'.

He then started to think about the important ministers in the court.

However, Emperor Xin also knew that there would be no problem if he found those talented people, slaves, and declining nobles to serve as minor officials, but if they were placed in the court, it would definitely cause big troubles.

But this was not difficult for Di Xin.

The Shang Kingdom has developed for so many years, and many nobles have declined.

Within half a year, Emperor Xin appointed and promoted four ministers, and these four ministers stood directly in the court.

Here Fei sickle, evil comes to father and son.

Fei Lian has talents in political affairs and making decisions. He is nine feet tall and has the strength to subdue a tiger. He is an absolute fierce general among mortals.

There was also Fei Zhong, a royal relative who was not valued at first.

There was also You Hun, who was good at speaking nice words and was born in the common people.

E Lai and Fei Zhong entered the army system of the Shang Dynasty. Fei Jian was a doctor, and You Hun was arranged by Emperor Xin to be a censor.

When the ministers tried to remonstrate, Fei Jian and You Hun stood up to block the gun. When there was nothing to do, You Hun sang praises to the King of Shang. Fei Zhong and E Lai led the group of "new nobles" in the army to quickly capture cities and restrain the previous "valve" in the army.

After several years of tossing like this.

The Shang Dynasty actually had the initial style of revival.

Emperor Xin did not expect that he originally just wanted to find a few people to quarrel with Shang Rong and other old ministers in the court, and by the way, promote a group of military generals who were completely loyal to him... The effect was so good.

Fei Zhong was good at managing the army, E Lai had supernatural power, and Huang Feihu, who was originally promoted by the aristocratic class, gradually lost his voice in front of Emperor Xin.

And Wen Zhong... Wen Zhong was fighting against the barbarians outside.

The spring of Emperor Xin finally arrived.

Those old ministers scolded him for breaking the rules of his ancestors and employing "low-class people". He asked the old ministers to recommend a son of a noble family with a good background, and he selected a son of a "low-class person" to compete with each other in literary talent and political affairs.

The former was defeated directly.

However, such a reform would inevitably affect the interests of those "old nobles". With the support of Emperor Xin, the new nobles fought openly and secretly with the old nobles.

The officials of Chaoge City and the army of the merchants were full of vitality.

In the midst of prosperity, You Hun did not forget to jump up and down, collecting beauties from all over the place. In order to accommodate these beauties, Emperor Xin built some civil engineering and some villas.

The Shang Kingdom, which should have been weak, actually won several wars in a short period of time.

The old nobles of the merchants became more and more angry but dared not speak out;

Most of the royal relatives who were originally just muddling around began to hone their martial arts and learn strategies;

The voices of various princes quickly decreased.

As the number of prisoners of war in Chaoge City continued to increase, Emperor Xin changed the memorial service to a small one every three months.

It was at this time that Emperor Xin made a big news.

Wine pools and meat forests, the king and his ministers enjoyed themselves.

Emperor Xin was also very skillful. A lackey like You Hun, who he used, was not qualified to enjoy himself.

Old ministers like Shang Rong could not afford such happiness.

Emperor Xin used wine pools and meat forests, beautiful concubines and fine wine to entertain some princes who were strong and loyal to the Shang State, such as Chong Houhu.

Although this method became a new "hot spot" for the old ministers to criticize, the two hundred princes in the north became more convinced of Emperor Xin.

At this time, a smart old minister like Bigan had already reacted.

Emperor Xin pretended to be addicted to beauty and wine to make the ministers despise him, and then he began to use "low-class" ministers seemingly casually to check and balance the court, control the military and politics, and inspire the royal family and merchants to work hard.

Most of the infamy was borne by You Hun;

The pressure was borne by Fei Zhong, E Lai, and Fei Jian;

In the process of pursuing self-enjoyment, Emperor Xin had completed the change of the power structure of the court, and he gained stronger control.

Emperor Xin, who was thought to be corrupted by beauty by the ministers and princes, finally showed his fangs.

His primary target was the Xibo Hou, Ji Chang, whose reputation as a sage has become more and more famous recently.

…

Occasionally, there will be a hearty rain in the early autumn of Xiqi City.

Fortunately, the millet has been harvested in advance.

This year, the Zhou Kingdom is another bumper year.

In the courtyard where Ji Dan lived, Li Ping'an stretched out the door, admired the clear sky after the rain, and strolled in the wet courtyard.

There were already children cheering and running outside the courtyard.

Li Ping'an squinted and smiled, just about to go out to take a look, but the sound of the hoofs of strange beasts was heard outside the door.

Ji Fa turned over and jumped down, rushed to the front door in two steps, and pushed the door open and rushed in.

"Fourth brother!"

Li Ping'an said with a smile: "Why are you so scared, second brother?"

"Something bad has happened!"

Ji Fa shouted anxiously:

"Father has been imprisoned by the king! This news was more than half a month ago, and now we don't know whether he is alive or dead!"

Li Ping'an leaned back slightly.

Is this the day?
