But until this moment, the other party had not really appeared in front of him, and there seemed to be no trace of the other party's action in the entire Central Plains.

This made Chu Qiguang very confused. Logically speaking, the human-monster war in the Central Plains should be the best opportunity for the opponent to take action.

Jiaojiao asked: "Then shall we go to Datai?"

Chu Qiguang shook his head: "With Emperor Tai Tai's Taoist skills, even if I want to find him after losing him, it will be extremely difficult for me."

"And he is nothing to fear now. Instead of wasting time looking for him, we should seize the time to develop ourselves..."

With the human-monster war coming to an end, there are too many things waiting for Chu Qiguang to do in the Central Plains, and he no longer intends to continue hunting down Emperor Tai Tai.

…

Shenjing City.

Several months have passed, and in today's capital, only Mount Kumgang outside the city still tells the story of the tragedy of that war.

The capital city has restored some of its former prosperity, and the legends about Chu Qiguang are being told in the streets and alleys.

At this moment, in a garden in the longevity palace.

The protagonist of the legend is standing behind Emperor Yong'an.

Today's Emperor Yong'an has white hair and a haggard body, curling up quietly in a recliner, like a dying old man.

Chu Qiguang looked at the other party and sighed softly: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an said calmly: "This may be the price of changing one's destiny against nature and suppressing one's luck."

Emperor Yong'an had already paid a huge price in order to break through to become a saint.

During the war between humans and monsters, he used the capital formation that penetrated the world's spiritual veins to suppress luck and prevent the Gang Qi layer from being destroyed, and even suffered a huge backlash.

Yong'an said with a hint of pride: "Chu Qiguang, you said that I can't break through the Tongsheng, so what now?"

Chu Qiguang sighed: "I was wrong. Whether it's luck or God's will, everything has a chance to change. Your Majesty's ability to break fate and break through to become a saint is proof. We will definitely be able to defeat the foreign gods in the future."

Emperor Yong'an laughed, as if Chu Qiguang's comment made him very happy, but the violent coughing the next moment made the expression on his face become ferocious again.

After a long time, he slowly said: "Chu Qiguang, you are wrong about the fact that I cannot break through to the Saint."

"But you are saying that I have not taken care of this country. I have thought about it for a long time, and you are not unreasonable. Unfortunately, it is too late."

"This great country of Han Dynasty has been suffering from civil and military abuses for a long time, so I drove Fei Yi away and reused you and Wu Siqi."

"But two hundred years of serious illness can affect the whole body. We must use our supreme cultivation to clear obstacles and compete with foreign enemies. This is the reason why I am determined to practice Taoism. The thieves of Tianjian Sect don't understand this, and they still want to assassinate

I, such a rebel, should also be eliminated."

Chu Qiguang did not comment on this and just listened to the emperor's words silently.

At this time, Emperor Yong'an slowly looked at Chu Qiguang: "There is no talent among the descendants of the Han royal family. Don't embarrass them."

Chu Qiguang raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Yong'an stopped him and continued: "I have cleaned up the cabinet and the six ministries and nine ministers to clear the obstacles for you."

"The remaining ones... whether you want to fight those corrupt officials or reform the new system in the future, they will be the sharp swords in your hands..."

"But as time goes by, the sword will also rust. When you sit on those seats, sometimes it's not up to you whether it's black or white. You'd better use it when the time comes... But from your point of view, there's probably no need for me to say more about this.

…”

"I have asked Yang Jinzhong to organize the imperial palace in the capital. Now it is in ruins and waiting to be renovated. You can return the imperial palace to the people so that the people can cultivate their lives..."

Yong'an was talking about the affairs of the court one by one. Chu Qiguang listened silently, feeling that the energy and blood in the other party's body were slowly weakening bit by bit.

It is a kind of irreversible weakness, just like overflowing water and being unable to recover, a boat is in ruins, it is a person's lifespan coming to an end, it is a powerful monk falling into demonic contamination.

The eunuch Yang Jinzhong on the side burst into tears and couldn't help but touch the tears in the corners of his eyes with his hands.

"Chu Qiguang." Emperor Yong'an stretched out his hand towards Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang felt that a pair of thin hands grasped him tightly, like a man seeking survival grasping the last straw.

"From now on, you will be the chief minister of the cabinet, a big man... I leave it to you."

Chu Qiguang nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong'an coughed violently again, and after a long time he slowly asked: "Am I a wise king?"

After Chu Qiguang thought for a moment, he saw that Emperor Yong'an in front of him had fallen into a deep sleep, with a trace of relaxation on his face.

"You take good care of the emperor, I'll leave first."

Chu Qiguang explained to Yang Jinzhong beside him and left the palace directly.

Yong'an's edict has been sent to the cabinet, and Chu Qiguang will be officially appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet soon.

There may be many irregularities in it, but with Chu Qiguang's current status, even if he rebelled directly and said he wanted to be emperor, some ministers would probably jump out and say yes.

However, Chu Qiguang was naturally not interested in becoming an emperor. In his opinion, the position of chief minister of the cabinet was just right, which would facilitate his subsequent reforms of the entire country.

Although the demon clan has been temporarily repelled, there will still be threats from alien gods in the future, and Chu Qiguang needs to reform the entire national machine and run it at high speed.

Then squeeze out everyone's efforts and let everyone contribute to the development of the country and the cause of fighting against foreign gods.

…

Yongan 22 years, October.

The reform of the army was first proposed by Chu Qiguang. The new army structure, new defense system, new equipment procurement, food supply... the whole Han Dynasty started to move.

With Chu Qiguang's strength and prestige, almost no one can oppose his implementation of the New Deal. Coupled with the intelligence network he built, the reform progressed very quickly.

After the military reform is completed, he still has to reform the tax system, the official system, the martial arts system, agriculture, the economy, etc.

There are also the knowledge base of the Chamber of Commerce, Tongtian Baobao and Tianxia Tongxing, as well as the blood pool network, farmers... these all need to promote the world.

In the future, Chu Qiguang also plans to use Qi and blood to replace silver and copper coins and become the new currency in circulation.

Of course there are many things, but they all need to be done one by one and cannot be rushed.

The first thing Chu Qiguang popularized was the dream world constructed by Lin Lan, which allowed Han officials and chamber of commerce employees to start a hard-working life of working during the day and then working in dreams at night.

…

Yongan 23 years, January.

Beijing.

Jinnu said to Chu Qiguang: "The clone of the Indestructible Buddha is still looking for Buddhist inheritance. The remaining half of the body has officially begun to practice martial arts and Taoism with your permission."

The Indestructible Buddha once had extremely powerful strength during his lifetime, and his realm was even higher than that of a saint.

It's just that after being hired by Chu Qiguang, he has been deliberately suppressed to prevent him from breaking through before Chu Qiguang.

Now that the human-monster war is over and Chu Qiguang has gained great strength, he allows the Immortal Buddha to try to recover some of his strength.

Jinnu continued: "Ji Haoran is still not found. No one in the Ji family has found any trace of him. It's like he disappeared from the world."

"There is also no news about the whereabouts of Xuan Xuzi's golden body. We have sent people to search for it in the direction of the Western Region, but it seems there is little hope at the moment."

"In addition to the "Star Scripture", the search for the other two major scripture kings has also been officially launched. Notices have been sent to all tribes and sects to collect clues about the scriptures."

"Shuzhou's relocation plan has officially begun, and the first batch of 100,000 people have begun to move to the Buddhist world..."

In order to fight against foreign gods in the future, Chu Qiguang decided to vigorously develop the Buddhist world.

On the one hand, the Buddhist world naturally has Jiaojiao's ability to assist him, making it easier for him to manage and monitor.

On the other hand, it was the inspiration given to Chu Qiguang by Emperor Tai Tai. He planned to study the Buddhist world in depth. If he could control the Buddhist world like a spaceship, then humans would be able to escape from this planet in the future, and it would be considered a time when facing alien gods.

There is one more way out.

"Jiaojiao's programming technology has improved again. Now she can effectively control more than 50,000 individual monsters, which are spread all over the Central Plains. She is working with the Jin girls to establish a communication network covering the entire Central Plains..."

"Shuzhou's qi and blood payment pilot is currently running well, and local residents have become accustomed to conducting daily transactions through 'Tian Xia Tong Xing'..."

"The second phase of the development plan of the Great Demon Prajna led by Li Yaofeng has officially begun. The goal is to miniaturize and make the Great Demon Prajna more everyday..."

"Bo Nan still refuses to communicate and is unwilling to reveal any information..."

"King Cang Long, King Mirage officially led the Dragon Clan to surrender. We have sent officials to receive the Dragon Clan troops. Regarding the Dragon Clan's demilitarization, democratization, and free trade reform, who do you think is better to preside over it?"

"The troops stationed in the Dragon Palace have not yet been decided..."

"As for the Tianshi Sect, Huang Daoxu and others have agreed to the religious reform. In the future, the directors of every Taoist temple in the world, as well as the officials of the Dao Gang Department, will all be selected by the imperial court..."

Under Chu Qiguang's leadership, the entire Han Dynasty was like being wound up. The whole society was running faster and faster, and everyone felt like there was a whip whipping behind them.

As the state machine continued to accelerate, officials or people gradually began to secretly complain about Chu Qiguang's policies. However, in a blink of an eye, they were suppressed by Chu Qiguang's strength and prestige, and there seemed to be no waves at all.

…

Yongan 23 years, June.

The "Star Book" was finally dug out by Qiao Zhi, and then he rushed to deliver it to Chu Qiguang himself.

"I finally found it. The cat hair on my body is almost soaked."

Qiao Zhi rubbed Chu Qiguang hard, pointed at the "Star Sutra" in front of him and said, "How about it? That's right, it's the original version of the "Star Sutra", right?"

Chu Qiguang nodded: "Master Qiao, thank you for your hard work."
