Translator: 549690339
Fifteen years ago.
The demons wreaked havoc in the capital and plotted a shocking plan to severely injure the officials of the various provinces, causing them to be leaderless and causing Great Xia to descend into chaos. Before the plan could be carried out, the experts sent by Emperor Xia’s Sect arrived and suppressed all the demons with thunderous methods. That battle shook the world, and ghosts and gods wept. Blood flowed like a river. Countless demons and ghosts were killed, and not a single one escaped.
Ten years ago.
The Grand Shang Empire was itching for action. They started planning to attack Grand Xia several years ago. Taking advantage of the fact that the Xia Emperor was unconscious, they suddenly attacked. Their army pressed down on the borders, wanting to use a lightning strike to tear open a gap and take down a prefecture. They had no idea that this was a scheme of the Xia Emperor. They intentionally pretended to be unconscious and used their body as a cover to set up an ambush in advance, waiting for the Grand Shang Empire’s army to arrive. They were caught unprepared and killed hundreds of thousands of enemies. That war was extremely intense and lasted for a very long time. It only ended when Great Shang was beaten up.
Although Grand Xia was already prepared and had the upper hand, war would still lead to death. Many outstanding generals died in this battle, but their gains were also great. They managed to seize half of the province from Grand Shang. This was the first time in many years that Grand Xia had gained so much from this battle.
After finishing the records of the Xia Emperor, Zhang Ronghua had a look of admiration on his face. He didn’t know how the other emperors of Grand Xia were like, but in the Xia Emperor’s life, from the moment he sat on the throne, Grand Xia had never been at peace. He had forcefully restored the mess that had been caused, and he had even killed so many True Spirit races, demons, ghosts, and even Grand Shang that they didn’t dare to do it again.
However, there was no introduction to his ascension to the throne among these books. There was not a single book among the countless books, as if there was a gap.
There was only one possibility.
When Emperor Xia ascended the throne, many people died. The capital was not covered in blood, but it was more or less the same. That was why records of this disappeared.
“Brother, have you finished reading?” Ding Yi asked.”
“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua replied.
“Let’s go! Return to the Scholar Hall.”
The two of them left the Hall of Ten Thousand Books and walked back.
Lu Junxiu and the others had already returned and were waiting in his palace. When they saw Zhang Ronghua, they hurried over to welcome him.
Cao Hang led them into his palace and closed the door behind him, waiting at the side.
Zhang Ronghua asked them to sit down. The table was full of people and he asked,”Have you collected them?”
Zhao Bai and the others placed the information they had collected on the table.
There were a total of five copies, each of which was dozens of centimeters tall. It seemed that they had put in a lot of effort.
Zhang Ronghua flipped through one of the documents, and after he finished reading it, he read the rest. It took him some time to finish all five of them. Three major events were recorded. Although they were not as detailed as the records in the Hall of Myriad Books, they were generally not bad. As for the minor events, the five documents added together were not even a fraction of the records in the Hall of Myriad Books.
Firstly, time was limited. Secondly, small incidents were not as easy to investigate as big incidents. Only by reversing the source and returning to the past and finding the person involved could they find out the truth. As time passed, other than the records in the palace, some were forgotten, and some disappeared.
If he did not have the True Dragon Token, he would not be able to enter the
Hall of Ten Thousand Books, and if he could not enter the Hall of Ten Thousand Books, he would not be able to compile a qualified biography of the Human Emperor. It seemed that Emperor Xia had the intention to help him.
Looking at them, the few of them felt uneasy and uncertain. They didn’t know how useful these events they had collected could be.
From tomorrow onwards, I will try to edit it,” Zhang Ronghua said.” Your duty is to revise and refine the new Emperor’s Legend that I have edited.’”‘
“Can you handle it all by yourself?” Zhao Bai asked.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew that he was asking nonsense. If he didn’t have this confidence, why would he make such a promise in the imperial court? Why would they come here to take credit?
Knowing that he had said something wrong, he hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.”
He gave them a few more instructions and let them leave.
“What has Cheng Zhijie been doing all day?” asked Zhang Ronghua.”
Lu Junxiu replied,” I’ve sent someone to keep an eye on him. He has been staying in the palace that was prepared for him and has never left. I just sent someone to deliver a document with his suggestion written on it. ‘”‘ He took out the document from his sleeve and placed it in front of Zhang Ronghua.
He flipped it open and casually glanced at it. Cheng Zhijie’s suggestion was very simple. He would edit it according to the existing Legend of the Human Emperor and then refine it.
He knew that he would not be able to change his fate, but he did not mess it up. He did it obediently. Although he could avoid endless consequences, at least he could keep his life! If he did nothing, it would not be as simple as losing his official position. He might even lose his head.
He closed the document.
“Send someone to tell him that there’s no innovation, no novelty, and that it can’t show His Majesty’s extraordinary achievements. Tell him to do it again.’”‘
“Yes, sir! This subordinate will do it now.”
Lu Junxiu took the document and left with Cao Xing before closing the door. He took a sip of tea and looked at the sky outside. It was just the right time to be on duty.
He put down his teacup and stood up from his chair. He called out, “Let’s go!” He walked out of the Scholar Hall and out of the palace.
Zheng Fugui had been waiting for a long time when he arrived at the Vermillion Bird Sect. His uncle had sent someone to inform him that his cousin had come forward to solve the problem of his name. The huge burden on his heart was finally lifted..
