Chapter 155: The Founding Father’s Big Secret.



“After entering the 6th Heavenly Layer, with my current Cultivation speed, I can enter the 7th Heavenly Layer in, at most, ten years.”

Su Qin thought.

Once an Arhat or Legend reaches the 7th Heavenly Layer, it means one has truly set foot in the Peak of this Realm.

“After the 7th Heavenly Layer, my Cultivation speed will inevitably slow down again, maybe I should prepare for the future?”

When he first entered Arhat Realm, he felt that his Cultivation speed was not as good as before. If he hadn’t obtained the Glazed Golden Core from the Bodhi Court and other pills, Su Qin would’ve still been at the 1st or 2nd Heavenly Layer, at most starting to approach the 3rd Heavenly Layer.

After coming to the Imperial Palace, Su Qin had obtained resources such as Innate Spirit Liquid, Blood Bodhi, Vermilion Fruit, etc., and it once again increased his Cultivation speed; hence why he could reach the 5th Heavenly Layer Great Perfection in just over ten years.

Su Qin can already imagine that when he reaches the 7th Heavenly Layer, whether it was the Innate Spirit Liquid, Blood Bodhi or Vermilion Fruit, their effects on him will definitely be greatly reduced.

This was not to say that they were not good, but rather, Su Qin’s strength made their effects insignificant.

It’s like when you have ten cents. If you add ten cents to it, it will double your wealth.

But when you have ten thousand cents, and you add ten cents, you won’t be able to tell the difference.

During this period of time, Su Qin continued to Sign In and Cultivate, also occasionally giving pointers to Li Wan.

On the other hand, Emperor Li Sheng finally integrated the Fiefdoms of the ten Kings and now had a firm grasp on them.

At this time, Emperor Li Sheng was at a loss, wondering whether he should continue to implement the Order.

While the Kings’ legacy would continue, Emperor Li Sheng doesn’t need to provoke hostility anymore.

They were completely under the control of the Tang Empire. Was there still a need for the Order?

Emperor Li Sheng tossed and turned for a few nights, before finally running towards the Right Spring Square with his wine flask.

“Third Brother.”

Emperor Li Sheng waved his hand and yelled.

Su Qin walked out of the Right Spring Square. When he looked at Emperor Li Sheng, he immediately knew what had happened.

“Third Brother.”

“What do you think I should do?”

Emperor Li Sheng sat down with Su Qin and talked to him about the difficulties he had encountered.

“Who do you plan to give the Fiefdoms to?” Su Qin asked instead of answering Emperor Li Sheng’s question.

“Who would I give the Fiefdoms to?”

Emperor Li Sheng was lost in thought.

Indeed, he had not really considered this.

The Fiefdoms were located on the border of the Tang Empire. They were set up to resist the invasion of other countries. It was impossible to leave them without a leader.

“I plan to choose a few Imperial Family disciples to take care of them.” Emperor Li Sheng thought for a long time, before looking at Su Qin and replying.

“Imperial Family disciples?” Su Qin laughed. He asked: “Are you not afraid that they will rise up in rebellion one day?”

When he asked this, Emperor Li Sheng’s expression changed.

Since the founding of the Empire, the Tang Empire has had a rule that no Imperial Family disciple is allowed to hold military power.

The purpose of establishing this rule was to prevent civil unrest in the Imperial Family.

If they really follow the instructions of Emperor Li Sheng and hand over the Fiefdoms to the Imperial Family, wasn’t that asking for a rebellion?

“Then I will send a few loyal Officials to take care of it.” Emperor Li Sheng said.

“Officials?”

“Loyal?”

Su Qin shook his head, he indifferently said: “How long can you guarantee their loyalty? Ten years? Twenty years? Or thirty years?”

“Even if the Officials you send are loyal throughout their lives, what about their next generation? When they take over the Fiefdom, will they remain faithful?”

Emperor Li Sheng tightly frowned.

“Then I will send an Order that the throne shall not be inherited through father and son…”

Emperor Tang said solemnly.

Su Qin raised his head slightly and looked out of the Right Spring Square: “People are selfish. If they are rich in this life, of course, they hope that their future generations will be richer…”

“So that’s how it is.”

“I think too much.”

Emperor Li Sheng sighed slightly: “No matter from which perspective, no one can compare to Third Brother.”

Emperor Li Sheng’s look towards Su Qin was full of sincere admiration.

Whether it was him or the Officials, they only saw the current Tang Empire, but Su Qin saw the Tang Empire thousands of years in the future.

“Third Brother, do you want to enter the court as an Official? As long as you are willing, the Prime Minister position is yours.”

Emperor Li Sheng suddenly said seriously.

The Prime Minister position is so powerful, that it can even replace the Emperor to exercise Imperial Power. As early as 200 years ago, such a position was abolished by the Emperor of that generation.

However, Emperor Li Sheng was willing to reappoint a Prime Minister for Su Qin. This just shows how much importance he attaches to Su Qin.

“No.”

“I am already used to my free and idle life.”

Su Qin refused without even needing to think much.

If he was interested in power, would he have stayed in the Imperial Palace for more than ten years with his Arhat level of strength?

“Since Third Brother is unwilling, then forget it.”

Emperor Li Sheng sighed softly, as if he had already expected Su Qin’s answer.

It was not the first time that Emperor Li Sheng had invited Su Qin to the court these last ten years, but every time, he was rejected without the slightest hesitation.

Sometimes, Emperor Li Sheng really wondered if Su Qin was a Saint who looked at power and fame like it was nothing.

Except a Saint, who can resist the temptation of a Prime Minister position?

The two chatted for a while, and their topic soon came to Chang’an City, the ancient capital of the previous ten Dynasties.

“Speaking of which, the Tang Empire has had inheritance for more than 500 years ever since the Founding Father accidentally established the Tang Empire. I really didn’t expect the Empire to exist for so long…”

Emperor Li Sheng shook his head and said with emotion.

“Accidentally?”

Su Qin raised his brows and looked at Emperor Li Sheng, “What do you mean by accidentally?”

“Let’s forget it Third Brother, you don’t need to know this…” When Emperor Li Sheng saw Su Qin’s reaction, he immediately said: “I also don’t know whether this matter is true or false. It is just from the elderly people in the palace and there are no related records proving it.”

Emperor Li Sheng paused before saying in a low voice: “I heard that the Founding Father didn’t even think about establishing an Empire back then…”

“Have not thought of establishing an Empire?”

Su Qin’s thoughts fluctuated and he vaguely felt that he was about to come into contact with a big secret.

In fact, as soon as Su Qin learned that the Founding Father was a Legend, he had some doubts.

After all, why would a Legend want to establish an Empire?

For posterity?

If the Founding Father wants his descendants to inherit his legacy, he could’ve just created an Aristocratic Family or a Sect, and not an Empire.

Throughout the past and present, almost no Dynasty has lasted longer than a 1000 years, but some Aristocratic Families often survive for over a 1000 years.

And for a Sect like the Shaolin Temple, it can survive for thousands of years.

While Su Qin was in deep thought, the voice of Emperor Li Sheng sounded: “It is said that the reason why the Founding Father established the Empire was because he found a secret in Chang’an City…”
