Chapter 141: Can be settled anywhere, who has ever been like this throughout history!

【The ownership of the northern frontier territory is settled, irreversible, and has changed hands from this point on.】

【Prince of Yan, Lu Chen.】

【There is no turning back.】

【The clan leaders of the noble families in the misty rain of Jiangnan, although unwilling, have no power to contend further at this time!】

【The northern lands are a barren and ill-fated place, with twenty years of flames of war and a bitter, cold frontier, which is a world of difference from the prosperity of Jiangnan.】

【At this moment, they finally realize or comfort themselves that the northern lands have effectively become a place beyond the reach of the imperial court.】

【The name exists, but the reality is gone!】

【Thus, after weighing the pros and cons, the various Jiangnan clans trade the northern lands, which have no benefits, for a moment of peace. In the weighing, they even feel a sense of relief.】

【The Jiangnan noble families, with auspicious beasts embroidered on their chests and wearing red court robes, wake up from their shock. Amidst their intersecting gazes, a trace of imperceptible joy quietly spreads.】

【Suddenly feeling that this deal is not a loss!】

【Only Xie Chunan, standing in the crowd, has deep eyes and sighs secretly.】

【He looks at the figure sitting in the seat of honor, his heart filled with mixed feelings, not knowing what to think.】

【The northern lands, the Kan position in the hexagrams, belong to the water element, the Lu family's iron cavalry, in mysterious black armor.】

【The Qian-Yuan in the south, inheriting the fire virtue, raises red flags.】

【The Chu State belongs to the earth, the beginning of the five elements, and the five countries in the world begin to truly stand in opposition.】

【This change is not only a change of territory but also a shift of destiny.】

【Although the northern lands are poor, they are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, waiting for the time to act. And that Lu Shaobao, having obtained it, will have no more shackles on his future path, and his momentum will be limitless.】

【Like a dragon obtaining water!】

【When the Lu Shaobao stepped out of Mount Zhongnan and entered the capital, Xie Chunan, the Minister who made a living by divination in his early years, also gently stroked the tortoise shell at this time, carefully studied the yarrow stalks, and cast another hexagram for the general trend of the world.】

【"Using the Nine, see the group of dragons without a leader, auspicious!"】

【The hexagram appears, with profound meaning.】

【The general trend of the world is just like a group of dragons wandering above the nine heavens, ruling without a leader, each displaying its ability!】

【If this hexagram is applied to the world, it predicts that heroes will rise together, there will be no unified leader, and each country will govern itself and compete for development.】

【Within the four seas, a hundred boats compete for the current.】

【Qian-Yuan, Northern Wind, Han, and Chu, these four countries, plus the newly enfeoffed Prince of Yan, Lu Chen, five forces, each occupying one side, white, blue, black, red, and yellow, the five colors intertwine, just like the five elements of the world being complete, checking and balancing each other.】

【The five elements generate and overcome each other, and the world is thus able to transition steadily, with yin and yang intersecting.】

【Xie Chunan knows that from the moment Lu Chen was enfeoffed as a Prince, the general trend of the world was quietly settled.】

【Although the four countries surround the capital, they cannot form a siege, each harboring their own ulterior motives, making it difficult to truly join forces.】

【The capital is settled!】

【Your eyes are calm, looking at Feng Haiping, you say faintly: "All troops, follow me north."】

【The Lu Army, hearing the order, moves, their morale like a rainbow, shouting:】

【"Obey the order of the Prince of Yan!"】

【You walk out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the most magnificent building in this imperial palace.】

【Towering and magnificent, resplendent and magnificent, it is the symbol of the world's power, with jade buildings and towers, fully displaying the imperial style.】

【Behind it are three thousand beauties of the harem, and a crowd of eunuchs and servants.】

【Below the Hall of Supreme Harmony are steps made of white jade, and below the steps is a huge square.】

【No matter who it is, whether enfeoffed as a Prince or appointed as a Minister, they all walk in from the square, then climb the steps, until they walk into the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a serious expression.】

【In the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, in the seat of honor, there is a large chair, symbolizing the supreme royal power.】

【The place where the Emperor lives is called the Imperial Palace, the chair he sits on is called the Dragon Throne, and the bed he sleeps on is called the Dragon Bed.】

【Calling oneself the Son of Heaven!】

【Endowing imperial power with mystery and nobility, attempting to draw boundaries with this, dividing people into different ranks.】

【They want to divide people!】

【In the final analysis.】

【Whether wearing a dragon robe, a phoenix crown and robes, or riding in an eight-bearer sedan chair, or a carriage pulled by nine horses.】

【They are all people!】

【You have no attachment.】

【A crowd of the Lu Army follows you out one after another!】

【Zhou Jinyu hurriedly lifts her skirt and looks from the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, watching you slowly walk down the steps.】

【From beginning to end, she never saw you look back.】

【Zhou Cheng, standing on the steps, performs a salute from afar.】

【Xie Chunan is the same, appearing exceptionally solemn.】

【Dai Zhong also follows and leaves; this Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is already a true top-level figure of Daqing.】

【In the crowd, there is no lack of people who admire Dai Zhong.】

【An old man suggests: "Minister Dai, why not stay in the capital and continue to take charge of the Court of Judicial Review? With you here, our hearts will be at peace!"】

【"Yes, Minister Dai, Jiangnan is peaceful, while the northern lands are full of wind and frost; you should also marry and have children, leaving incense for your family!"】

【Someone echoes: "The northern lands are not a good place to go!"】

【Living in Jiangnan, it is difficult to think of one's hometown accent.】

【The words come from the mouths of two old men, who are the most prestigious clan leaders of the Li and Chen families among the Jiangnan noble families.】

【With Lu Chen's departure and Zhou Jinyu's son ascending the throne at a young age, the Jiangnan noble families' right to speak in the court becomes increasingly important.】

【Only then do they dare to say this at this time and make such a guarantee.】

【The reason they hold Dai Zhong in such high regard is not only because of his outstanding ability but also because he is fair and selfless, willing to work for practical matters.】

【Only then could Jiangnan be so "clear," and the people have fewer unjust, false, and wrong cases.】

【For fifteen years, Dai Zhong has been diligent and tireless in the Court of Judicial Review, which is enough to see his character and personality!】

【Distance tests a horse's strength.】

【Dai Zhong has won the recognition of the Jiangnan noble families!】

【Dai Zhong just smiles at the words of the two.】

【This smile is rarely seen by the people present, and they cannot help but feel surprised; Dai Zhong has never smiled before!】

【Dai Zhong smiles and says:】

【"I won't trouble the two lords; a great man stands in the world, why does he need a place to go!"】

【"As long as Dai Zhong follows the Lu Shaobao, no matter where it is in the world, one can be settled anywhere!"】

【An unexpected answer, yet also within reason.】

【Someone in the Lu Army shouts, "Dai Zhong, hurry up," it is Yu Xu; the two were brothers in their early years.】

【Dai Zhong's face has more smiles.】

【"Dai Zhong, farewell!"】

【Once these words are spoken, everyone feels surprised, yet it is also within reason.】

【The Chen clan elder watches Dai Zhong leave, with a crowd of the Lu Army following closely behind the person at the very front.】

【He cannot help but sigh!】

【"This Lu Shaobao, the old man is also increasingly unable to see through him!"】

【The Chen clan elder thinks that if he were not the clan leader of the Chen family, or if he were not in his position, then people would leave and the tea would go cold!】

【He does not understand: "Cultivating the Dao for fifteen years, having left the northern lands for so many years, logically speaking, the Lu Army, and even the world, should have forgotten him long ago."】

【Who would have known!】

【The result is the opposite; as long as he walks out of Mount Zhongnan, everyone in the world follows him one after another.】

【The heroes of the world all abandon their homes and businesses to follow him.】

【Historical records from the past state that when Gao Zu started the uprising, heroes also responded, and the slogan he shouted was.】

【Raise the righteous flag, divide the fields, and followers were like clouds!】

【The Chen clan elder looks at the square below the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where the Lu family flags are snapping in the wind.】

【The person at the very front riding a horse is just in ordinary cloth clothes, slowly walking out of the Noon Gate, followed by a crowd of the army like black clouds!】

【What does Lu Chen have?】

【What can he give these people?】

【Xie Chunan shakes his head and cannot help but smile helplessly:】

【"Throughout history, I also do not know who can be like this."】

【Zhou Jinyu, however, remembers all the political decrees written by the Lu Shaobao last night.】

【Thirty-eight thousand words, not a single word was for himself!】

【All were for the people!】

【Therefore!】

【People of the world have been yearning for him for a long time.】
