“How’s An Chang’s condition?”

After the Emperor finished laughing, he turned to ask.

The God of Thieves answered, “He is trying to rope in the aristocratic families in Shuntian City to help their descendants obtain official positions.”

The Emperor said, “Continue to keep an eye on him. Don’t let him die easily.”

“Yes!”

The God of Thieves answered and then bowed and left.

The Emperor summoned a White-robed Guard to invite the Crown Prince, Jiang Xuannian.

An hour later, the twenty-five-year-old Jiang Xuannian arrived. When he grew up, he was handsome and exuded a noble aura as he walked. His left hand was behind his waist and his right hand was placed in front of his abdomen. He held a small cauldron in his hand. Inside the cauldron was the Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad.

“Father, why did you call me here?”

Jiang Xuannian cupped his hands and asked with a smile.

The Emperor snorted and said, “Now that the world is in chaos, as the Crown Prince, you can still smile?”

Jiang Xuannian smiled and said, “Of course I can smile. Now that there are many heroes in the world, Xu Mang is destined to be eliminated. This chaos is a good thing and serves as a wake-up call for Great Jing. At the same time, many capable officials have appeared. If they have contributed to this solving chaos, once they were to obtain my father’s favor, wouldn’t that encourage imperial power?”

The Emperor revealed a satisfied smile. He was extremely satisfied with his eldest son and was even filled with expectations. Everything he did was to pave the way for Jiang Xuannian. Even if his reputation was ruined and he was criticized by the historians in the future, he did not care.

When the dynasty stabilized, he would give it to Jiang Xuannian while he pursued longevity.

The Emperor suddenly asked, “How is Xuanzhen?”

When Jiang Xuannian heard him mention Jiang Xuanzhen, he excitedly said, “Father, Xuanzhen has successfully become Saint Qi’s disciple. He will definitely be a pillar of Great Jing in the future.”

“Oh? I have underestimated him.

The Emperor stroked his beard and smiled. He was proud in his heart. Who said that Great Jing was not as good as before? My sons were very outstanding!

He added, “I will write a reward decree. Send it to the Yang Mansion personally and rope in the Yang Family. In this decree, I will make the daughter of the Yang Family the Empress.”

Jiang Xuannian was not angry when he heard that. Instead, he smiled and nodded.

Born in the imperial family, marriage was not up to him to decide. He was already prepared.

Year 9 of the Dinghe Era.

At the beginning of April, Yang Zheng led his army to defeat Xu Mang’s army and chased after them. One of the three great generals, Yang Yuanlie, severely injured Xu Mang with a single spear. Just as Xu Mang was about to die, a mysterious expert repelled the three great generals by himself and saved Xu Mang.

At that point, Xu Mang’s army was leaderless and began to split up. However, there were Blue Wave Cultists and rebels everywhere. In order to protect themselves, they formed their own forces and started an attrition war with Great Jing.

It was May, and the weather was pleasant. The sun was shining brightly, and the mountain was covered with purple clouds. It was like a celestial mountain.

Within the Purple Cloud Palace.

Jiang Changsheng was currently circulating his energy, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surrounded him, preventing Mu Lingluo from cultivating by his side in peace. She had no choice but to return to the courtyard to train.

Jiang Changsheng had no choice. He could only tell Mu Lingluo that he was preparing to break through, and she also expressed her understanding.

Ever since his Dao heart stabilized, Jiang Changsheng’s cultivation became smoother and smoother. He used his mental cultivation method and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper his soul. Often, he would flash back to his memories and suddenly wander into the sky.

Jiang Changsheng’s understanding of the rules of heaven and earth was also deepening, but he was still not sure when he would break through. Perhaps he only lacked an opportunity.

Recently, he had a bold idea that could resolve Great Jing’s predicament and increase his incense points.

That was to open up a sky in the sky of Great Jing so that his believers could ascend and become immortals. Of course, the immortals here were under his control, not free and unfettered immortals. They were equivalent to heavenly officials.

In Great Jing, the civil and military officials who made merits and the saints in the human world could ascend to the sky after their merits were fulfilled and help him take care of his believers and the common people. In this way, they could be separated from the system of the royal court of Great Jing and achieve balance.

Even the Emperor could ascend!

For the time being, this was only an idea. If he wanted to do this, he had to create his own luck. However, heavenly officials were not true immortals after all, and they also had a lifespan limit. This still needed to be considered.

As Jiang Changsheng comprehended the rules of heaven and earth, he also had his own understanding of fate.

Just as Jiang Changsheng was fantasizing, the Head of Punishment’s voice sounded in his mind.

“Master, reincarnation has started in Hell!”

Hearing this voice, Jiang Changsheng immediately disappeared and appeared in Hell.

When the Head of Punishment saw his sudden appearance, he was not frightened. He stood up and brought him over.

“I built the Bridge of Helplessness in front of the Spring of Reincarnation, in the deepest part of Hell…”

The Head of Punishment introduced as he walked.

Along the way, Jiang Changsheng saw many reapers coming and going. Many reapers looked at him curiously, but with the Ultimate Yang Divine Light, even ghosts could not see through his true appearance.

“Ancestor…”

A voice suddenly sounded. Jiang Changsheng caught a glimpse of Jing

Hongzong, Jiang Han. Jiang Han was very excited to see him, but Jiang

Changsheng did not stop, and Jiang Han did not dare to chase after him.

Jiang Han looked at Jiang Changsheng’s departing back with indescribable emotions.

Jiang Han was not disappointed for long. Soon, he perked up.

With his relationship with his ancestor, as long as he performed well, it was not impossible for him to become Yama-king in the future!

No matter what, it was better than being a struggling mortal in the secular world!

Following the Head of Punishment, Jiang Changsheng soon arrived at the Bridge of Helplessness. The Yellow Spring covered the surroundings of Hell, and there was also the Yellow Spring in the deepest part of Hell. It was extremely dark here, and the water of the Yellow Spring was suffused with heat.

Souls lined up in front of the Bridge of Helplessness. Jiang Changsheng saw a woman with a bucket by her side, scooping a bowl of water for every passing soul.

“In order to prevent the souls of the dead from revealing the existence of Hell, they have to drink the Life-Forgetting Water and forget everything before they can reincarnate. This can also reduce the variables in the world.” The Head of Punishment introduced the woman as Jiang Che’s beloved,

Concubine Yu.

When Concubine Yu saw Jiang Changsheng from afar, she immediately bowed.

When he saw her, Jiang Changsheng thought of Meng Po. However, Concubine Yu did not turn into an old woman. She still had a peerless and elegant figure, which made the souls in the queue willing to drink the Life-Forgetting Water.

Jiang Changsheng looked at her for a while and said, “Not bad. If you continue like this, the stronger Hell is, the more capable you will be. This is your cultivation. ”

The Head of Punishment nodded and said, “Thank you, Master, for giving me this supreme opportunity.”

Back then, he was still hesitating if he should help Jiang Yuan deal with Jiang Changsheng. As time passed, he became Jiang Changsheng’s loyal subordinate.

Time was the most powerful force that could change everything.

Jiang Changsheng did not stay any longer and soon disappeared on the spot, returning to the Purple Cloud Palace.

The establishment of Hell’s reincarnation cycle had deepened his understanding of the rules of reincarnation.

Hell was his magical treasure and had an inseparable connection with him. Even if they were far apart, he could still comprehend the power of reincarnation in Hell and the rules of reincarnation.

Jiang Changsheng sat on the praying mat and comprehended the power of reincarnation in Hell. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into his body and with the help of the Purple Cloud Palace, he soon entered a mysterious state.

He had a premonition that his strength would undergo a complete transformation after he broke through to the tenth level of the Dao Technique. This transformation was not something that the previous breakthroughs could compare to.

In June of the 10th year of the Dinghe Era, rebels were eliminated everywhere. The rest hid everywhere, living a life worse than death.

The Emperor summoned those who had contributed to the war to enter the throne room to receive their rewards.

“Yang Zheng, you have performed a meritorious service and are conferred the title of Marquis of Expedition.”

“King of the Northern Frontier, you have reclaimed the land of the five provinces. You have performed a meritorious service and are rewarded with the right to establish a vassal country.”

“Mu Jiang, after recovering four provinces, you have performed meritorious service and are conferred the title of Marquis Yonglie.”

“Chen Quan, you have contributed greatly to the recovery of two provinces. You have been conferred the title of General of the Huoqi.”

In the hall, the head of internal affairs read the imperial decree in his hand. His voice echoed in the hall. Other than the two rows of civil and military officials, dozens of people knelt in the middle. They were all meritorious officials of this war.

An Chang stood among the officials and looked at those who had contributed greatly. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a long time.

The officials who had been rewarded and punished thanked the Emperor in unison before they stood up at the Emperor’s signal.

The Emperor smiled and said, “Xu Mang’s rebellion has lasted for five years and has finally ended. Even though I live in Shuntian City, I have always been worried about the front line. Yang Zheng, can you tell me what kind of person Xu Mang is?”

Yang Zheng, who was dressed in an official’s uniform, looked to be about fifty years old. His hair was black and white, and he had a dignified appearance. He did not look aggressive, but he still looked awe-inspiring. He cupped his hands and said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, Xu Mang is no different from ordinary people. He only has a head and a mouth. He has a violent temperament and is extremely impulsive. After being scolded by my son, Yang Yuanxiong, he went to war in a fit of anger, causing the army to fall into chaos. In my opinion, Xu Mang would not be able to reach the stage without the support of the forces behind him.”

As soon as he said that, whispers immediately broke out in the hall, making it very noisy.

The Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, “Oh? Official Yang, who do you think is supporting him?”

Yang Zheng did not look up, and his expression did not change as he said, “There are people in the martial arts world and the imperial court who support him. If we don’t investigate thoroughly, there will be another Xu Mang!” The imperial court!

The officials’ expressions changed, and the way they looked at Yang Zheng completely changed.

This guy had just made a great contribution and he wanted to draw his sword against them?

An Chang snorted. “Marquis of Expedition, you can’t talk nonsense. Then tell me, who is supporting Xu Mang?”

Yang Zheng glanced at him and said, “My words don’t mean anything. We need

His Majesty to investigate thoroughly and cleanse the court. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, the Yang Family is willing to bear any responsibility and go through fire and water for Great Jing.”

With that said, Yang Zheng turned around and looked down on the officials. “The ancestors of the Yang Family followed the Martial Ancestor to conquer the world. My grandfather also followed Taizong to conquer the world. The first rule of the ancestors of the Yang Family was to always respect the Emperor and protect Great Jing! ”

The civil and military officials had different expressions. Some were disdainful, some were mocking, and some were uneasy.

The Emperor’s smile deepened. “From today onwards, Prime Minister An and the Marquis of Expedition will investigate the court together. I will wait for your results.”

Hearing this, An Chang and Yang Zheng looked at each other. An Chang was calm while Yang Zheng’s eyes revealed contempt.

Some of the old officials realized something and looked at the Emperor deeply.

They suddenly realized that the Emperor was not as unbearable as he seemed, and An Chang was not that trusted by the Emperor..
