Chapter 889: Chapter 264: Ascension to the Throne_3

From the initial moments at the Great Wall of Po Yang with Xia Dazhi and Li Erniu, to Fang Buping who perished in the chaos at the Fei River...

Regardless of rank or realm, all have remained here.

As long as the Han Dynasty exists, their names will be remembered by the world.

The soldiers of the Han Dynasty no longer need to worry about becoming wandering ghosts after dying on the battlefield; they will forever have a resting place, forever have people to commemorate them.

Chen Sansi rebuilt the Confucius Temple, listing the fourth senior brother Fang Qingyun as one of the ten sages of the temple. He posthumously honored Yun as Guannei Marquis, titled Jing Hou, and buried him at Luofeng Slope with royal ceremonies.

Then, most importantly, there were the administrative institutions.

Relying solely on the Emperor is not enough to govern the country well.

Chen Sansi retained most of the institutions from the previous dynasty.

Then he appointed Zhao Kang as the Jinyi Guard Commander, selecting elite survivors from Po Yang to join, and conducted inspections of officials left from the previous dynasty one by one.

The entire Yan Family of former Chief Minister Yan Liang was executed.

The rest of the corrupt officials met the same fate.

Third-rank and below honest officials were temporarily retained.

Officials above the third-rank were all replaced.

The cabinet system was retained.

Xu Wencai was appointed as the head of the Three Ducal Ministers and Crown Prince’s Grandmaster, was granted the title Special Rank Grand Master, appointed as Senior Scholar of the Zhongji Hall, and served as the Chief Minister of the cabinet, called the Prime Minister.

Regarding the harem.

Chen Sansi had only two wives.

Gu Xinlan was bestowed as Empress, and Sun Li as the Imperial Concubine.

Regarding offspring.

Chen Duhe was bestowed as Prince Yu, and Chen Yunxi was granted the title Princess Taiping.

Regarding the realm.

Chen Sansi re-counted the national land records in the Fish Scale Book, redistributing land occupied by sect families including Shangguan Haichang to local farmers.

Faced with much resistance during the process, he raised his arm, galloped through the Jianghu, slaughtering with heads rolling and rivers of blood flowing.

Next, he exempted taxes for more than ten states troubled by years of warfare for three years, and in other states significantly reduced taxes, implementing a one-twentieth tax on each mu of land, allowing the realm to recuperate and recover.

After handling all the above affairs, two years had passed, and the stability of the Han Dynasty’s Central Plains was gradually moving into the Tian Wu flourishing era.

In the third year of Tian Wu, on October 9.

Inside the Taiji Palace.

Chen Sansi, after discussing with ministers and handling the last batch of sect families, announced the dismissal of the court.

At this moment.

The mystical energy in the Xuanzhu within him underwent a qualitative transformation.

Transforming the mystical energy of the people’s hearts into the national destiny of Han.

This step took him a full two years!

Chen Sansi returned to his quarters, took out the Heavenly Book he had retrieved from Cao Kai’s leftover storage bag, and once again carefully reviewed the formation within it.

If national destiny could replace the original mystical energy, it would certainly unleash even more powerful formations. If national destiny could be raised by another level, it could even forcefully encircle and kill cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm with ordinary troops.

The higher the national destiny, the stronger the power of the formations.

Of course, it is a long process.

Recently, Chen Sansi did not rush to attack the remaining two countries; the court could not afford the consumption of continuous warfare.

With his presence, no one dared to invade, so there was no need to rush.

Apart from the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Imperial Jade Seal, the legacy of the Longqing era included a withered tree.

According to identification by Wei Xuan and others, it was an extremely rare spirit plant even within the Cultivation World, named the ’Fuling Taiqing Heavenly Treasure Tree’. If cultivated successfully, it could replace spirit veins to provide cultivation for people.

However, the original tree had already withered, leaving only a few seeds.

Chen Sansi attempted to plant them, nurturing them with spirit stones, to see if they could grow, then went to the Longevity Palace, where the plaque had been removed, to cultivate.

In the past two years, the newly established dynasty had so many affairs to handle, he only had one-third of his daily time for cultivation.

Fortunately, as the world trends towards stability, Chen Sansi will gradually have more time for cultivation in the future.

He went to the courtyard, summoned the Longdan Bright Silver Spear, and began cultivating the Dragon Scripture.

The early, middle, and late stages of the True Power Realm correspond to upper, middle, and lower three sections and twenty-four Scenic Gods, and now he needs to open the lower eight Scenic Gods to proceed to the late True Power Realm.

With the dance of the Silver Dragon, a yellow-clad mystical light gradually lit up at Chen Sansi’s upper left abdomen until it merged into the same color as the Bright Yellow Dragon Robe on him.

Inside him, another new Jingshen opened.

The Stomach God, named Tonglaiyu, styled Daozhan, seven inches long, yellow clothes!

[Cultivation Technique: Dragon Scripture (True Power Middle Stage)]

[Progress: 63/500]

Breaking through to the late True Power Realm, it’s best to have a second-tier spirit vein.

Chen Sansi only had a first-rank Spiritual Pearl, and with the daily busyness, it took him two full years to make any progress.

In fact, this is a normal pace.

Whether it’s Martial Arts or the Immortal Path, both are long roads requiring years of persistent effort to achieve something.

Normally, moving from the True Power Middle Stage to the late stage requires twenty to thirty years for those of average qualification, though elixirs can shorten this time.

According to Chen Sansi’s current speed, it still needs seven or eight years, which is quite slow and needs replanning.

He did not rest but, after putting away the Silver Spear, sat in meditation to cultivate the Swallowing Fire Technique.

The Spiritual Pearl is currently more than enough for the Immortal Path.

Chen Sansi sat cross-legged until the mana inside his Dantian once again broke through the bottleneck.

[Cultivation Technique: Swallowing Fire Technique. Qi Refinement Seventh Layer]

[Progress: 0/1200]

[Utility: Top-grade Spirit Root]

Top-grade Spirit Root!

Finally broke through to the Late Stage of Qi Refining!

Chen Sansi’s spirit root talent had once again improved.

With a top-grade spirit root, he could enter any sect, become a True Disciple, and his future cultivation speed would inevitably become faster and faster.
