#534 - Change the world

“It's not an end, but a beginning,” Wu Yanhan said earnestly.

Listening to Wu Yanhan's words, Xu Ming's brow furrowed slightly.

Xu Ming naturally knew what Wu Yanhan meant.

If the laws of heaven and earth within Wu were altered.

Under such circumstances, Wu would certainly not be content with the status quo.

If Wu were content with the status quo, the Wu Emperor and Mr. Xiao would not have gone to such lengths.

What they wanted to do was not just change Wu.

What they wanted to change was the entire world.

However, with their current abilities, directly changing the world was simply a pipe dream, utterly impossible.

So, they began by changing Wu.

Using Wu as a springboard, they would slowly realize their ultimate ideal.

Without even thinking, the main theme of Wu's future would be expansion.

Once the laws of heaven and earth within Wu were modified, all sects would have to obey the Wu court, unless they no longer wanted to operate within Wu.

If those cultivators wanted to move away from Wu, then so be it.

The Wu Emperor would not care.

People can always be born again.

Cultivators can also be cultivated, it's just a matter of time.

Moreover, most of the children born these days will embark on the path of cultivation, and their talent for cultivation will only be high, not low.

But, well, there aren't that many blessed lands and grotto-heavens, you leave, but the land is still there, and as long as the land is still there, it will provide new cultivators to cultivate in this place.

Besides.

Do you really think there are so many blessed lands and grotto-heavens in this world?

Besides.

Does Wu really need those parasitic cultivators?

If they want to leave, then let them leave, Wu will not try to retain them in the slightest.

But it is foreseeable that under the threat of Wu's powerful national fortune, many human dynasties will band together for warmth.

And Wu will definitely expand its territory, trying to turn Wu's laws into the rules of the whole world!

“How is Your Majesty?” Xu Ming continued to ask.

Hearing Xu Ming mention her father, a hint of worry flashed in Wu Yanhan's eyes: “After that great battle, Father Emperor burned too much essence blood. Not long ago, Father Emperor pulled me into his bedroom and told me that he only had a few years left to live.

At most, it won't exceed eight years.

In these last few years, Father Emperor said he would pave the way for me.”

“Mm,” Xu Ming nodded.

In fact, at the beginning, Xu Ming only had some admiration for the emperor of Wu, at most with some goodwill.

But after this great battle, Xu Ming really felt that the Wu Emperor was a true emperor.

Now, Xu Ming only has admiration for the Wu Emperor.

Although the Wu Emperor is the emperor of the ten great human dynasties, no matter what, the Wu Emperor is still just a mortal body.

For a mortal body to achieve this level today is truly moving.

The Wu Emperor used his short decades to live out something that a cultivator couldn't achieve in thousands of years.

“Father Emperor has some free time today, he wants to see you, how about it? Are you free?”

Wu Yanhan turned her head to look at Xu Ming, asking in a calm tone.

The Wu Emperor did not let Wei Xun call Xu Ming in, but instead had his daughter come and ask, and from Yanhan's tone, it could be heard that Xu Ming could refuse.

This meeting should be like a meeting between elders and juniors, rather than a meeting between monarch and subject.

What the Wu Emperor wants to talk to Xu Ming about should not be state affairs, but a normal heart-to-heart talk.

“Of course,” Xu Ming nodded, “I actually really want to see His Majesty too.”

Wu Yanhan nodded: “I'll send you to the palace, it just so happens that the two of us can take a walk and chat.”

“Okay.”

Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan followed this road and walked towards the palace.

Along the way, Wu Yanhan continued to tell Xu Ming about some of the things that had happened in the court.

For example, those officials who defected during the war have already had their homes confiscated.

For another example, those feudal lords who took the opportunity to rebel are now in a dilemma. They originally thought that even if the Wu Emperor won, Wu's national fortune would be lost to such an extent that they would have many opportunities.

But who knew that because of Xiao Mochizuki, Heaven actually gave back to Wu's fortune, and after the deaths of those sect masters, they turned into spiritual power and dissipated in Wu, which also nourished Wu.

In addition, Xiao Mochizuki, such a Confucian saint, caused a ink rain that lasted for seven days throughout Wu when he was dying, and the ink pond of Bailu Academy even flowed for thousands of miles.

In the end, those sect cultivators had no way to stand on the side of any feudal lord.

Otherwise, it would be treason, and treason would be subject to thunder tribulation.

The current Wu is several times stronger than before.

But how can there be such a thing as doing half of a rebellion and then not doing it?

Some feudal lords have now fled to other countries, and some feudal lords are unwilling and feel that they can still fight for it, so they stayed and plan to try again.

The Wu court simply did not take these feudal lords to heart.

These feudal lords are not leaving now, and are still daydreaming, then there is no way to leave now.

In the eyes of the Wu Emperor, these feudal lords are already dead men.

Can you say that these feudal lords are fools?

Actually, not necessarily.

Because after Xiliang got the news, the Xiliang high-level officials, led by the Xiliang King's nephew, rebelled against Wu and are now killing towards the court.

In the past, the Wu Emperor was indeed more worried about Xiliang's rebellion, even killing the King of Beiliang was useless.

But now, the Wu Emperor doesn't care at all.

It can only be said that those desperate people do not have a clear understanding of Wu's fortune.

But it won't be long before they clearly realize how stupid everything they are doing now is.

“You go in, I won't enter the palace, I'll wait for you outside.”

Wu Yanhan sent Xu Ming to the palace gate and stopped.

“You don't need to be restrained in any way when you enter the palace to see Father Emperor this time. You can weigh some of the conditions proposed by Father Emperor yourself. You don't need to agree to all of them. I can see that Father Emperor is talking to you this time to talk heart-to-heart.”

“Mm.”

Xu Ming nodded and didn't say anything more, walking straight into the palace.

Xu Ming came to the door of the imperial study.

Wei Xun was still standing at the door.

“Sir Xu, you've arrived.” Wei Xun bowed.

The current Eunuch Wei also looks very haggard, and his eyes are very bloodshot, as if he hasn't closed his eyes for several days and nights.

“Eunuch Wei.” Xu Ming cupped his hands in return.

Wei Xun opened the way and said respectfully: “His Majesty is reviewing memorials in the study. Sir Xu, just go straight in.”
