Chapter 214, First Extraordinary Article
In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, a dazzling light shot into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire firmament.
The light was like the first rays of dawn, pure and bright, and in an instant it transformed into endless golden radiance.
Everyone in the Imperial Study was stunned by the strange sight.
"What's going on?!" Jun Youlan turned around in surprise.
"Ow—!"
Dragon shadows darted through the clouds, seemingly poised to burst through the sky at any moment.
Premier Zhang exclaimed in surprise: "The fate of the nation! That is the fate of the nation!"
The tangible destiny of the nation transforms into a swimming dragon, swaying in the sky.
In that instant, the national fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty surged like an explosive growth.
All the officials were shocked, feeling as if a veil had been lifted from their eyes, and the world became incredibly clear and transparent.
Eunuch Cao immediately ordered, "Go and see what's going on outside!"
A nation's destiny is not always in flux. If a nation's development stagnates, it will gradually accumulate like stagnant water, becoming difficult to access.
This is why, even with a nation's destiny in its possession, foreign invasions cannot protect everyone.
During the Qianlong era, the Imperial Observatory constantly altered the feng shui of mountains and rivers in order to ensure the flow of national fortune and maintain its vitality.
And now, something has stirred and revitalized the nation's destiny.
hum!
The emperor's brother-in-law looked into the distance and saw clearly.
At the edge of the earth, a mysterious purple light quietly seeped out.
At first, it spread slowly like silk threads, but soon it turned into a vast ocean, surging in all directions.
Wherever the light shines, the cracked earth heals, the withered grass and trees are covered in green again, and exotic flowers bloom in profusion.
Petals fluttered and fragrance filled the air, as if a fairyland had descended to earth.
The people from Daqian present felt a lightness in their bodies, with waves of warmth flowing through them.
It felt as if all the makeup had been washed away, leaving me feeling incredibly relaxed.
The emperor's brother-in-law had only recently regained his footing, and he felt his tranquility vanish like spring snow under the scorching sun.
The outsiders, including the Blue Wolf King, felt a sudden heaviness in their bodies, as if a thousand-pound boulder was pressing on their chests, making it difficult to breathe.
"The Great Qian people are about to make their move!" The beautiful concubine, startled, raised her hand, revealing a golden whip.
"Wait!" The Blue Wolf King reached out and stopped her.
The northern ruler's eyes sharpened: "No, it's not them."
The concubine was silent for a moment: "What is that?"
A sense of crisis rose in the Blue Wolf King's heart, and he clenched his fists involuntarily: "It's not just targeting us... it's targeting everyone!"
Sure enough, a scroll rolled up in front of Emperor Qian suddenly emitted a myriad of rays of light.
The eldest princess exclaimed in surprise: "The Map of the State and the Land! Elder brother, what happened to the Great Qian Dynasty!"
Emperor Qian's study is not a place that ordinary people can enter, and the things on this table are something that cultivators all over the world would covet.
For example, the Imperial Scripture "Divine Cloud Auspicious Cloud Method" given to Su Yun, and this painting "Landscape of the State and the Country"!
Emperor Qian raised his head, and his usually calm gaze finally revealed a hint of surprise.
That pure energy that influenced the nation's destiny was truly astonishing.
The last time I saw a similar situation was on the day I wrote "Memorial on Governing the People".
This time, however, it seems to be even more powerful and astonishing!
Emperor Qian merely glanced at the Azure Wolf King, then gently waved his hand and opened the "Map of the State and the Land".
It's no secret that the Great Qian Dynasty possesses such a treasure; it's good to let these northern barbarians see the world.
To prevent them from always coveting the fertile lands of the Central Region and thinking of plundering them all day long.
Om-!
The "Landscape of the State" unfolds like a scroll, instantly bringing to life a magnificent and awe-inspiring landscape.
The first thing that catches the eye is Qiandu, with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly fashion, and the streets and alleys bustling with traffic. You can even hear the laughter and chatter of the people.
As the gaze deepens, mountains and rivers gradually emerge, with towering peaks and overlapping ridges, shrouded in mist, resembling a celestial paradise.
The great river flows ceaselessly, its waves surging and clearly visible.
As the fate of the Great Qian Dynasty arrived, all its territories became a small dot on a painting, presented to everyone.
The "Map of the State and the Land" allows the Great Qian Dynasty to survey the entire territory and see the situation in every place.
Only a few places are shrouded in mist or are as impenetrable as black holes.
Those were the various sects located within the Great Qian territory, or perhaps due to the excessive greed of local officials, which led to popular uprisings and the dissipation of the nation's fortunes.
They thought no one knew about their affairs, but little did they know that everything was under the observation of the Great Qian Dynasty.
At this moment, countless strange phenomena appeared on this "Landscape of the State and its People".
The eldest princess exclaimed in astonishment: "A qilin has appeared in the world! It's an auspicious omen! A true blessing from heaven!"
On the painting, a small dot, and dozens of other small dots emitting iridescent colors, are riding the clouds and the wind.
With its ram's head, wolf's hooves, and musk-like body, it was none other than the Qilin, a mythical beast!
These mythical beasts are extremely rare, and each one is incredibly precious.
If tamed and used as a spirit pet or mount, it can bring great help to its owner and even improve their luck.
It is a treasure from head to toe; its scales, hair, and even flesh and internal organs can all be used as top-grade medicinal herbs.
Once such a precious spirit beast appears in the world, it will be fiercely sought after by various forces. There is no reason for it to remain in the wild.
But now, these dozens of ownerless Qilin are simply galloping freely through the clouds.
Emperor Qian did not hesitate: "General Dong Sheng, go immediately to the northwest of Yintong County, five thousand li away, and search for the beast herd!"
The sound traveled thousands of miles away, and on the scroll, a small dot led a large army out of the city immediately.
"How wonderful! We have discovered such an auspicious omen!" The eldest princess smiled, very happy.
Using the "Map of the Land and its People" consumes a great deal of resources, and discovering the anomaly upon opening it is truly a huge gain.
"Huh?" Before she could finish speaking, she pointed in surprise, "There's light at the bottom of this river, and pearls!"
Emperor Qian's eyes turned serious: "It's not a pearl, it's an underwater mineral vein!"
"Magistrate Ruizheng, immediately travel 700 li to the upper reaches of the river and locate the mineral deposits!"
On the map, several small dots flew out from next to the county town in just a few breaths.
The eldest princess exclaimed, "An earthquake has occurred here! The protective barrier has been broken!"
"It's actually an ancient immortal sect, completely deserted. Who knows how many treasures it holds!"
She pointed to the map and realized she couldn't possibly look at it all.
A mountain peak sprouts a patch of spiritual herbs, a valley flows with a divine spring, an ocean is evaporated by a volcano, leaving behind mineral salts, and a piece of land cracks open to reveal the tomb of a powerful being...
"How can there be so many auspicious omens!" The eldest princess exclaimed in shock.
The ability of cultivators to move mountains and fill seas, their productivity and combat power are all built upon rare and precious natural resources.
Normally, discovering a mineral vein and a group of spirit beasts would be considered an extremely fortunate event.
But now, one after another, countless auspicious omens and endless opportunities have emerged!
Emperor Qian issued an order: "Commander-in-Chief of the naval patrol, urge the navy to travel three thousand li to the South China Sea to search for underwater relics!"
"Commander of the Imperial Guards, immediately lead your troops three thousand miles into the depths of the Qingyan Mountains to find the Immortal Garden of Spiritual Plants!"
"Supervisor, please travel 2,500 li to the Sunset Wasteland to observe the source of the unusual celestial phenomena!"
"..."
As orders were issued, countless people across the vast land of Daqian sprang into action, moving in all directions.
Every single one of these opportunities was a chance for the emperor, who only regretted that he didn't have enough manpower!
The "Map of the Land and its People" is powerful, but it also consumes a lot of the nation's lifespan every second.
Although they could anticipate the enemy's moves, the Great Qian region was simply too vast, encompassing an endless array of sects and forces.
Some minor matters can be handled by ordinary people.
However, only by sending generals and officials could Emperor Qian feel at ease regarding these important resources.
The vast pool of experts that the Great Qian Dynasty possessed was insufficient at this moment.
Emperor Qian felt a bittersweet sadness. What monarch could have so many opportunities that he would be short of manpower?
The concubine beside the Blue Wolf King was dumbfounded: "What... what's wrong with the Qian Kingdom?"
"Where did such an auspicious omen come from!"
Her beautiful eyes widened in astonishment, finding it utterly unbelievable.
Although the Great Qian Kingdom is rich in water and grass, and cannot compare with the barbarian kingdoms in terms of grain and livestock, it also has many precious opportunities.
Every year, a large number of merchants travel thousands of miles to purchase those Ganoderma lucidum and snow lotus.
However, the auspicious signs and resources discovered in the Northern Region over the past thousand years are not as numerous as those that have emerged in this small gathering of the Qian Kingdom!
If this wasn't a gift from heaven, no one would believe it.
Only when one's fortune reaches a certain level will the string of destiny be plucked, bringing forth countless opportunities!
"What has the Qian Kingdom done!" the concubine exclaimed in shock. "What have they done to gain so much national fortune?"
"What makes the barbarian kingdom inferior to you?!"
When the Blue Wolf King heard about those resources, his eyes initially showed greed.
But the more he listened, the more serious his expression became.
In the end, he had completely calmed down and no longer had the slightest hint of covetousness.
Swish!
The Blue Wolf King suddenly looked up and gazed towards the door.
blah blah blah!
A young eunuch rushed in, looking very anxious.
He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed in wild joy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Our Great Qian Dynasty has produced another masterpiece for all time!"
Behind the young eunuch, Yu Yanying, holding a document, followed in with great joy: "I understand!"
"So that's how it is! Policies can not only control themselves, but also control others!"
"This is the second half of 'The Strategies of a Prosperous Nation'!"
After hearing Su Yun mention that he wanted to see his "Prosperous State Policy", he immediately went back to his residence to retrieve it.
Yu Yanying was waiting in the duty room when he casually asked the guard if he could have an audience.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing that it was related to Su Yun, the guards allowed him to wait outside the Imperial Study almost without hesitation.
Yu Yanying paid no attention to the fear in the guards' eyes, nor did she notice the bloodstains that had not yet been washed off!
Dai Zui commanded a force of Imperial Guards, a rare and valuable fighting force in the Great Qian Dynasty.
But just because he sided with the wrong side, he was beaten to death by Emperor Qian!
This shows how high Su Yun's status was in the heart of that supreme ruler.
Having been arrested this time, Dai Zui thought he could take the opportunity to curry favor with certain people.
Instead, it became his death warrant, and he died on the spot.
Yu Yanying waited outside the Imperial Study. Because they were both officials, they had a faint connection through the fate of the nation and overheard the discussions inside.
He was quite troubled by the threat from the Blue Wolf King, unable to figure out how to repel the enemy.
Unexpectedly, Su Yun's words shattered the shackles in my mind!
Domestic affairs can not only govern oneself, but also govern others!
Diplomacy doesn't need to rely on weapons; a soft knife can still cut flesh!
The "Decree of Grace" and the "cultural invasion" suddenly opened up Yu Yanying's thinking.
He immediately began to write furiously, and as the last stroke fell, the world changed.
The surging and concentrated national destiny, the shadow of a dragon soaring in the sky, and auspicious omens spreading throughout the Great Qian Dynasty.
All because of writing this strategy!
hiss!
Upon hearing the eunuch's words, everyone in the room gasped in shock.
The Grand Secretary Zhang was astonished: "It was actually a strange text that caused this extraordinary phenomenon! Our Great Qian Dynasty... truly has a wealth of talented people!"
"Minister Jun, this gentleman seems to be a secretary in your Ministry of Rites, right?"
Jun Youlan was astonished: "How...how could he also write such extraordinary articles?"
