Chapter 1709: Rebellion, Emperor, Ascension to the Upper Realm

Su Mingzhe originally thought that Song Kuang, who forced the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty to abdicate, would be able to unify the world.

Who would have thought that Song Kuang would die of an acute illness in the third year of his reign, just after unifying the twelve northern provinces.

The emperor who succeeded to the throne of the Song family was not Song Kuang's son who had just reached adulthood, but his third brother Song Geng who was young and strong.

Because the son did not inherit his father's business, the Song family's empire was in a precarious stage from the very beginning.

In order to prove himself, in the second year of Song Geng's accession to the throne, he wanted to follow the example of his elder brother and launch expeditions to the south and the north.

As a result, before going to the battle, he was "so awe-inspiring that he could swallow up the sun and the moon, and unify the world by riding six dragons."

After going to the battle, he was like "the stars falling and the clouds dispersing just like rain, the falling petals and flowing water mark the late spring".

After several defeats, Song Geng spent all the wealth accumulated by his elder brother Song Kuang.

After returning to the capital Bianliang, Song Geng realized that the people in Kyoto were restless. In order to consolidate his rule, he started a massacre mode.

The eldest brother's son, the eldest brother's confidants, and all those who Song Geng thought might rebel were all killed.

Under this high-pressure rule, Song Geng was murdered by court officials within a few years.

The Song Dynasty only existed for twelve years before it was destroyed in two generations.

This also unveiled a new pattern of chaos in the Central Plains and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

……

Su Mingzhe originally wanted to 'sit on the mountain and watch the dragons fight', but who would have thought that the world had been in chaos for fifty years, and not only was there no trend of stability, but it was getting worse and worse, with smoke and wars everywhere.

"Forget it. You can't count on others!"

This day.

Su Mingzhe called his brother-in-law Weng Xiangting and asked about the Weng family's recent life. He learned that he and his wife had given birth to four more children in the past ten years and that the family was prosperous. Then he said:
"Your eldest sister is pregnant!"

Speaking of Weng Changting's pregnancy, in fact, Weng Changting herself didn't know it yet.

In this life, Su Mingzhe wanted to continue his practice in the previous plane and not have children.

After each incident, he would help the woman refine her pure yang energy.

As all the women had achieved some level of cultivation, Su Mingzhe, in order to save trouble, left the task of refining the pure yang energy to the women themselves.

Who would have thought that Weng Changting had been in a bad mood recently and had not practiced for more than a month. The Yuan Yin energy in her body combined with the man's pure Yang energy, and she eventually became pregnant with the man's child.

……

"Congratulations, brother-in-law!"

When Weng Xiangting heard that his eldest sister was pregnant, he hurried to congratulate her.

The reason why Su Mingzhe took the sisters Weng Changting and Weng Hongting as concubines was that he had no children, and he wanted Weng Changting to continue his bloodline.

Forty or fifty years have passed since those days, and Weng Changting may have almost forgotten her original intention of marrying a man.

However, now that Weng Changting is pregnant with a man's child, this is worth celebrating.

Su Mingzhe waved his hands slightly, and waited for Weng Xiangting to calm down before he said calmly:

"I want to rebel!"

……

To rebel is a great sin for the whole clan.

However, Su Mingzhe is an immortal, and most of his women are also immortals.

Therefore, when Weng Xiangting learned that his brother-in-law was going to rebel, he was not afraid of being implicated, but was overjoyed:

"Brother-in-law, when are you going to start the war?"

"I'm still biding my time."

Although Su Mingzhe had the idea of ​​rebellion, the Yanhuang and Miao people's style of doing things has always been to "have a legitimate reason"!
He couldn't just take his tenants and attack the government in a fit of rage, right?
……

After some discussion between the two.

Weng Xiangting left happily.

A few more days passed.

In Guobei County, Su Mingzhe began to recruit refugees and reclaim wasteland. At the same time, he suppressed pirates and traded with the outside world.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and three years have passed.

Su Mingzhe already has tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, hundreds of thousands of farmers, and thousands of merchant ships under his command.

Rumors began to spread that Sujiazhuang was rich enough to rival a country and that there were mountains of silver in the cellar.

This day.

The King of Wuyue, who established his country in the south of the Yangtze River, suddenly led an army of 30,000 to surround Sujiazhuang, located east of Guobei County, and slandered Su Mingzhe for colluding with pirates to rebel.

Su Mingzhe led 8,000 farmhands to rebel, and defeated 30,000 in one battle, scaring the King of Wu Yue out of his wits.

Five days later.

Su Mingzhe brought his farmhands with him, conquered the entire Jinhua Prefecture, and proclaimed himself the General of Jinghai.

A few more days.

The King of Wu and Yue summoned an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress the enemy. Su Mingzhe used 20,000 men to fight against the enemy and defeated the enemy army again.

This time, Su Mingzhe took advantage of the victory, captured Hangzhou, destroyed the Wu Yue Kingdom, and proclaimed himself King of Wu.

At the moment of establishing the country and becoming king, Su Mingzhe felt something in his heart. He looked up at the sky, his eyes became deep and unpredictable.

……

Another ten years passed.

Su Mingzhe started an army with his family fortune in a corner of Jiangnan, unified several provinces south of the Yangtze River, and only stopped when he reached Jiaozhi County.

Another ten years passed.

Su Mingzhe led his troops to the Northern Expedition, not only conquering the Central Plains, but also fighting beyond the Great Wall.

Nearly a hundred years have passed since he traveled to this dimension. Su Mingzhe finally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, naming his country Wu.

On the day of his enthronement, Su Mingzhe led civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven in the suburbs to offer sacrifices.

When Su Mingzhe finished reading the edict of accession to the throne, he threw it into the raging fire in the Xuanyuan Ding.

Suddenly, in the ninth heaven, immortal sounds were heard and the gate of heaven opened.

Hundreds of fairies fluttered down like startled swans.

There are dragon and phoenix chariots, golden armor guards, and divine power like a prison.

All the civil and military officials were shocked by this scene and kowtowed in haste, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Su Mingzhe, on the other hand, looked calmly at the man wearing a golden crown in the carriage:

"Your Excellency is the Emperor of Heaven?"

"I am Xuanyuan, the emperor of mankind!"

The Human Emperor Xuanyuan, whose surname was Gongsun and given name was Xuanyuan, was one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the ancestor of human civilization.

Su Mingzhe learned the other party's identity and bowed to show his respect:
"I, your humble servant, have not only received the Emperor's presence, but I also ask for your forgiveness for my negligence!"

"It doesn't matter!"

The Human Emperor Xuanyuan stepped out of the imperial carriage and revealed his true face.

Judging from his appearance, he was no more than thirty years old. His eyes were intimidating and domineering, but when he spoke, his tone was relatively gentle:

"Not long ago, I was cultivating in Huoyun Cave with my two brothers, Tianhuang and Dihuang, and was reminded by the Heavenly Dao that a new leader will be born in the human world soon, and will ensure the prosperity of the human race for another 120,000 years... I came down to earth specially to give you the Human Emperor Seal!"

"Thank you, Emperor!"

Although Su Mingzhe doesn't care about the Human Emperor Seal, this thing is still very beneficial to the human race as a whole.

So, he respectfully took it from the Human Emperor Xuanyuan.

Emperor Xuanyuan bestowed the Emperor Seal and said with a smile:
"You are an immortal, with an age as long as the heaven and earth. Remember, you must not covet the wealth and honor of the human world. It is best to ascend to the upper realm within sixty years, otherwise you will easily invite disaster!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Emperor!"

Su Mingzhe was not familiar with Emperor Xuanyuan, so after being reminded, he thanked him respectfully.

After Emperor Xuanyuan gave his instructions, he returned to Huoyun Cave with his belongings.

……

With the blessing of Emperor Xuanyuan and the seal of the Emperor, Su Mingzhe began to carry out drastic reforms on social issues after he became emperor.

The Great Wu Dynasty took Confucianism as its appearance and law as its foundation. It established Taoist temples, martial arts temples, and engineering temples in the capital to educate the people.

It is known in history as the 'Great Wu Immortal Dynasty'.

……

Time flies, and sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

Su Mingzhe called all the daughters and descendants to his side, and ordered people to ring the Jingyang Bell to summon civil and military officials.

As soon as everyone entered the Qianqing Palace, they noticed something strange.

The Qianqing Palace was originally the place where the emperor discussed and handled government affairs. It had an imperial desk, steps, and stone pillars with coiled dragons.

Now, as soon as everyone walked in, they found Su Mingzhe wearing a Qiankun Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on a cushion, with a towering tree behind him.

The laurel tree had billions of roots that penetrated into the void, continuously absorbing the energy of chaos.

These chaotic energies were transformed by the laurel tree, then spewed out through thousands of leaves and absorbed by the stars in the sky; the vast galaxy was nourished by the spiritual energy, circling around the man, making the man's breath seem elusive and as if merging with the void.

When everyone looked more closely, they saw that Su Mingzhe's eyes were slightly drooping, his whole body was glowing with light, and there was a strange fragrance.

After everyone was amazed, they immediately paid homage:
“I bow to my great emperor, and wish him to live as long as the heavens, to share the same roots as the earth, to be indestructible through all calamities, and to live forever!”

"Everyone is safe!"

Su Mingzhe opened his eyes, and a bright light flickered in the depths of his eyes, containing endless great truths.

After scanning everyone, Su Mingzhe sighed:

"Sixty years ago, when I ascended the throne, the Emperor of Man descended upon me and warned me that my reign should not exceed sixty years, otherwise disaster would befall me!
"Now that my term has expired, I should also ascend to the upper realm. Before I leave, I have something to say to you..."
