"Since your Majesty came to the throne, you have worked diligently and did not dare to neglect state affairs for a day. The auspiciousness of Qingzhou's purple energy coming from the east must be because of your Majesty. I would like to congratulate your Majesty!"
Looking at Jingtai's expression, Cao Zhengxian knew what he was thinking and naturally wanted to echo it.
Jingtai's face was indifferent, but there was a hint of lingering joy between his eyebrows. It was obvious that he thought so too, even though there was still a lot of turmoil in the court.
But the border troubles in the north have been temporarily eliminated, leaving only the demon tribe in the south and the demon demons in the Blood State, and he has been planning for this for many years.
And the plan is in the south. Now that the purple energy appears in the world, he will naturally think that God is congratulating him.
Although he did not help with the matter in the north, and even deliberately delayed it, he was able to fight back the barbarians, so it seems that it is not an exaggeration to count him as his merit.
"I still have more things to do. When the purple energy comes out of Qingzhou, the next time the purple energy spreads all over the capital!" Jingtai smiled faintly, feeling very relieved.
Even the fatigue from practicing for many days before has been relieved a lot.
"Your Majesty said so."
"I see this purple energy appearing in Ping'an County. I seem to remember that Marquis Wu'an was born here, right?"
As Chen Yuan's reputation grows, people will naturally want to explore his past, and they also know that he comes from a small county in Qingzhou.
He can be regarded as one of the representatives of the poor family.
"Your Majesty remembers well that Marquis Wu An grew up here. His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his uncle, who also passed away before.
Ping'an County is now Chen Yuan's fiefdom. "
Cao Zhengxian told Jingtai Chen Yuan's experience in detail, without any progress during the period.
Jingtai frowned, and just now he had an idea that for some reason, the purple energy might not be caused by him, but he must not say such a thing.
Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that he doesn't have the appearance of a king?
"How is Chen Yuan doing now?"
Jingtai asked in a deep voice.
"Back to Your Majesty, Chen Yuan has left Qingzhou, and now I think he should visit his family in Tangshan Mansion."
"It seems that he has no confidence in the one-year contract and has probably given up. In this case, it is his honor for me to marry him.
Without the support of me and the imperial court, how could he become the Marquis of Wu'an who is famous all over the world today? "
Jingtai snorted lightly, but he was not angry.
The more this is the case, the more relieved he is.
This can only prove that Chen Yuan has given in. Otherwise, if he really goes to Shuzhou immediately to investigate the cause of Lu Renjia's death, it can only prove that he really has no intention of getting married.
Facing his oracle, he wanted to break free and resist.
"I also think that Marquis Wu'an has figured it out. After a year, he will probably come back to get married and become His Majesty's son-in-law."
Cao Zhengxian followed Jingtai's words very much.
Although he was not happy with Chen Yuan and did not want to see him reach a high position and become the emperor's son-in-law, it was difficult for Jingtai to go against his wishes, so he could only hold his nose and admit it.
No matter what, Chen Yuan is still the best genius in the world, and it is a good thing to be used by the imperial court.
"If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?" A faint sneer appeared at the corner of Jingtai's lips, and he continued:
"The news below may not be accurate. Send someone to confirm whether there is really purple energy coming to the world in Ping'an County. If so, investigate carefully and take it back to the court if there are any treasures.
Purple air is the essence of heaven and earth. The atmosphere of saints and kings cannot fall into the common people. "
"Old minister, I obey the order!"
"Go ahead."
"yes."
Tangshan Mansion, Xantian Hall.
When Jingtai learned about the arrival of purple energy in Ping'an County, he was very proud of it, thinking that his efforts were recognized by God, even if he did some cruel things.
Chen Yuan returned to Tangshan Mansion early.
As an important hub in the land of Qingzhou, Shuzhou, Xuezhou and Sanzhou, and with Chen Yuan's control of Tangshan, the real potential of this place has been stimulated.
It has become a must-go for many warriors.
Together with the caravans from various places, Tangshan Fucheng was very lively.
At a glance, everything is prosperous.
Chen Yuan is also very satisfied. After all, he is just a hands-off shopkeeper who delegates power to his subordinates. If he can achieve such results, what else can he criticize?
"Thank you for your hard work."
Chen Yuan put down the things in his hands and looked at Han Yu, Liu Zhengsong and others below with a smile of praise.
"It is our honor to serve the Lord."
“Tangshan is what it is today, all because of the Lord’s prestige.”
"There are many warriors who actually come here for the Lord."
Du Ming and the others immediately bowed and saluted.
He didn't mean to take credit or be arrogant at all, but showed more humility.
Tangshan is gradually prospering, but Chen Yuan, the real person in charge of Tangshan, is also rising. The reason why they dare to expand their power unscrupulously is because of Chen Yuan's reputation.
At that time, the Ten Thousand Households in the dynasty, the divine envoy of Tianzi who patrolled the sky, shocked the world with the battle in Liangzhou.
It can be said that as long as Chen Yuan maintains a strong progress rate, the people below will never dare to have second thoughts. In fact, they are sometimes still afraid.
Because the gap between them and Chen Yuan has become a bit too big.
The strongest Han Yu has not formed a pill yet, and is still a long way away. Chen Yuan has become a real person in the fifth realm. What if one day he despises them as useless and unworthy of following him.
Even if they were still accommodated, they would not be willing to take away most of the power under their control due to their strength.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
In Qingzhou, there are two big mountains, Chen Yuan and Jiang He, which protect you. Not to mention walking sideways, but that's about it. Not many people have the courage to provoke them.
And this is becoming more and more true.
Chen Yuan is not in Tangshan, and Jiang He is in charge of Qingzhou City, so most of these powers fall on them.
Not to mention Huayang Zhenren, at least the Dan Realm Grandmaster treated them as equals, and even faced them with a vaguely superior attitude.
They are used to it now.
In order not to lose this power, they can only develop Tangshan better to give back to Chen Yuan, so that this power can stay with them forever.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
They aspire to be like chickens and dogs without falling behind in the process.
Chen Yuan's development prospects are known to the world. As long as he does not fall, the possibility of becoming the True Lord of Yangshen in the future is very high, and once he becomes a powerful person at the True Lord level.
In the imperial court, he did not say that he could hold the sky with only one hand, but he also had power over the government and the public.
There are not many people in the world who offend a true king.
They don't want much, they just want to be rich forever.
"Haha, you are all my old subordinates, so you don't have to be reserved in front of me. You have done well and you should be rewarded. Well, starting from today, your salary will be compared to that of a master.
You should also improve your strength and don't be complacent just for the petty gains in front of you. In the future, Tangshan will only get better and better, and you will also get stronger and stronger. "
If you give me some sweet dates, I will naturally give you a stick.
Just let them think about it.
They are not stupid, and they must understand the meaning.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!"
"Thank you, sir. Please keep this in mind."
"Thank you, Lord." Han Yu clasped his fists and saw that Chen Yuan was in a good mood, so he continued:
"Back to the Lord, I have one more thing I want to report to the Lord for decision."
"explain."
"Some time ago, there were two casual cultivator masters in the Jianghu who wanted to join the Lord. I couldn't make up my mind, so I asked my wife and then stayed in the city.
Lord, would you like to take some time to meet me? "
Tongxuan warriors and others can make a decision, but Dan realm masters still don't dare, and are afraid that the other party will overwhelm the guest and usurp the title. Therefore, he has always been a little worried.
Now that Chen Yuan has returned to Tangshan, he doesn't know if Mrs. Xu has told him about this, but his attitude must be in place.
"I have free time today, so it doesn't hurt to meet him."
When Chen Yuan returns to Qingzhou, he will almost have to make Tangshan's power semi-open. Now it is also necessary to meet some of the masters who have surrendered.
Since they came to serve, they knew that Chen Yuan was behind them.
"My subordinate understands."
Han Yu stood up and walked out of the hall.
Chen Yuan also turned his gaze to Du Ming and said in a deep voice:
"How is the situation inside the Tangshan Mountains?"
"Back to my lord, the cavalry has been replenished with exotic war horses from Liangzhou. It is now quite capable. Some generals from Liangzhou said that this cavalry is almost the same as the Northern Liang army."
The Beiliang Army is the first-class cavalry in the world, and it is definitely useful to be able to compete with such elite soldiers.
"very good."
Chen Yuan was very satisfied.
It takes more than a year to build a strong army, which is definitely not an exaggeration.
It will take many years for Wei Jinfeng to restore the vitality of the Northern Liang Army, because too many resources are consumed, and Chen Yuan only has a cavalry of ten thousand people, and natural resources will be poured on them like crazy.
Maybe it's not as good as in terms of combat power, but as long as you have experienced a few battles and can develop an iron-blooded killing spirit, it's almost enough.
"Now that this army has been trained, there is no need to hide it all the time. Find a way to let them see more blood. In addition, expand it by 10,000."
Ten thousand cavalry are just enough to fight against an ordinary Tiandan Grandmaster. These are far from enough.
Chen Yuan doesn't have much time. Firstly, he has grown too fast. Secondly, there is a one-year appointment with Jingtai. He estimates that after one year it will be almost time for a showdown.
There must be some strength under the hand.
Du Ming hesitated for a moment:
"My Lord, Tangshan is more than enough to support 10,000 cavalry, but if it is 20,000, we have to allocate resources from Brother Han."
He is in charge of the military, while Han Yu is in charge of Jianghu forces. Now they have expanded to Shuzhou and Xuezhou, and the resources they consume are not much less than him. It would be inappropriate to allocate resources from there to support the cavalry.
"You just have to do what I want, and you don't have to worry about resources. Here, I will give you a solid foundation. Within one year, I will have at least 50,000 available troops.
There will be no shortage of resources for you, and the rest will depend on your recruitment and training. "
Chen Yuan's face straightened and he said in a deep voice.
He has many years of experience in the Qishan tribe, and his staff is very well-off. It is more than enough to raise another 10,000 cavalry. The resources have been handed over to Mrs. Xu, and she is in charge of this matter.
As for the gap in the other 30,000 cavalry.
In the past, he was only a master of Tongxuan, and he dared to venture into the notorious Tangshan alone. Now that his soul is perfect, he can fight against powerful gods, and he is also in charge of major and minor affairs in the three states.
It is easier to obtain resources.
There has been no major event in the south for many years. The power of the Jianghu is many times that of the north, and the wealth and resources are even more incomparable. His main purpose is to track down the Wusheng Cult, and isn't he trying to figure out who is who?
There is only one year of preparation time. Chen Yuan is not going to boil the frog in warm water. We will talk about the rest later. Now he is searching for resources in the south!
Strive to have stronger strength before falling out!
Qingzhou, Shuzhou, Xuezhou, and Nanzhou, which was shaped into an iron bucket by Zhennan Wang Nangong Lie, he has regarded these three states as nourishment!
If you want to take over the world, you have to be more ruthless than others.
"Fifty thousand elite cavalry!"
Du Ming almost lost his grip on the wine glass in his hand, and couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart.
This is not fifty thousand civilians, but fifty thousand fully armored cavalry!
Once the battle formation is completed, Huayang Zhenren can also suppress and kill.
However, it is completely impossible to support 50,000 elite cavalry in the land of Tangshan. Going militarily is not considered crazy, it can only be regarded as madness.
Liu Zhengsong frowned and frowned. He knew that Chen Yuan was raising private soldiers, and he also knew that he had a disobedient heart, but in the face of a benefactor who pulled him out of the quagmire and gave him power, he could only obey and be loyal.
But fifty thousand is really not enough.
Tangshan, which had just restored people's livelihood and had a somewhat prosperous atmosphere, could not withstand such devastation. He sighed and knelt down in front of Chen Yuan:
"My lord, I think that fifty thousand cavalry is really inappropriate. I hope that for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people in Tangshan, please restrain yourself."
Liu Zhengsong knelt on the ground and lowered his head.
He knew that his benefactor's character had always been tough and iron-blooded. Perhaps with this sentence, the power he had gained would be wiped out, and it would even harm his family.
But he had to say it for the sake of the people of Tangshan.
"Liu Zhengsong, you are so presumptuous, why don't you apologize quickly?"
Du Ming's expression changed and he scolded him quickly, not even daring to look at Chen Yuan who was standing above him.
But Chen Yuan was not angry. Just as these subordinates understood him, he also understood these subordinates. Liu Zhengsong was famous for his courage to give direct advice, and he valued this.
It’s not like there’s no room for people, he just put down his glass and said:
"Masamatsu, raise your head."
"My lord!"
Liu Zhengsong looked a little determined and ashamed, and did not dare to look directly at his benefactor.
"My intention is not to expand the number by 50,000 immediately, but to do it step by step. Don't you still understand me? Will I do things that I am not sure about?"
"Can"
"I have given the specific resources to my wife. It is more than enough to expand the cavalry by 10,000. Don't forget what my current status is. I am the Governor of the Three Prefectures of Military Affairs.
In the south, I have the largest number of officials and the most power. Do you think I cannot provide the resources to support the army based on my ability? "
Chen Yuan asked in a solemn voice.
Liu Zhengsong's expression froze. He thought of Tangshan who had been washed with blood. He understood what Chen Yuan meant. After thinking about it in his mind, he seemed to really have this ability.
whispered:
"My subordinate understands."
"You two and Han Yu are all my old teammates and are loyal to me. Now let me tell you a few words. I am disgusted by Jingtai, and sooner or later there will be a confrontation.
What I am doing now is to prepare for a rainy day. It is impossible for him to want me to die, so I will die. You know my character. Generally, if someone wants me dead, I will kill them all.
What kind of bullshit emperor? The old thief Sima usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, seizing the Xiang family's kingdom. He can do it, but I can't? "
"It can take as little as one year, or as long as two years. I will definitely rebel. Jingtai has been plotting to cut down the vassal for many years. King Beiliang has learned from the past. Now the court is in turmoil and turmoil is everywhere.
It's not that I want to cause turmoil for my own selfish interests, I just want to bring peace to the world as soon as possible.
Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed! If I succeed, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, and your legacy will last for thousands of years. However, I will not force you to do such things as killing the nine tribes. If you want to leave now, I will not stop you. When we meet again in the future, we may be able to toast and drink together. "
Chen Yuan's tone was very indifferent, and his eyes were really fixed on the two people below. If there was the slightest movement, he would send them away today.
With his cultivation strength, no subtle perception of these two people could escape his eyes.
There was silence in Xantian Hall, and the words Chen Yuan just said still echoed to this day.
He wants to rebel!
They had all thought carefully before, and could tell from various aspects that Chen Yuan was disobedient, and they had completely surrendered in their hearts. But now that his attitude was revealed nakedly, they were still shocked.
He was frozen in place, not daring to move at all.
Direct showdown!
Du Ming reacted the fastest. After hearing what Chen Yuan said, he just froze for a moment and then knelt down:
"The Lord has the world in his heart, and he will definitely accomplish something in the future. To destroy the old dog Jingtai, my subordinates have no talents, but only a heart of pure loyalty that can be used by the Lord.
Follow the master and become rich! "
He has already boarded the ship, and now he knows Chen Yuan's true purpose. It is not difficult for him to imagine that if he hesitates at all today, he will surely die on the spot.
Perhaps the Lord will be thinking that their merits and hard work will not harm their families, but if they can live, who wants to die?
Who wouldn’t want to gain the power of a dragon?
My master is a wise and powerful man with the best civil and military skills in the world. His fame is rare in the world and his talent is rare in the history. He is really qualified to compete.
He, Du Ming, was willing to risk his life and take a gamble!
If you win, you can choose any of the oirans in the capital, but if you lose, they will all be executed.
He doesn't want to choose, and he doesn't have to choose!
After Du Ming finished speaking, Liu Zhengsong's mind moved as he was frozen in place. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"My subordinates have already surrendered to the Lord and do not dare to have the slightest dissent. From today on, all family members will be sent to the Tianxian Division, and my wife will be asked to take care of them on my behalf.
As for the subordinates, everything is subject to the orders of the master. In the Jin Dynasty, the subordinates were hidden in the snow and depressed. When the master enabled me, I had only one life to dedicate to the master! "
"My family members are also willing to be sent to the Sky Patrol Department, and my wife will teach a few incompetent children. Please give me a clear warning!"
When Du Ming saw this, he did not hesitate to bow and salute immediately.
While Chen Yuan was observing, Han Yu, who went outside to send someone to notify them, walked in and saw Du Ming and Liu Zhengsong kneeling on the ground. The atmosphere in the hall was also very solemn.
Thinking that something was wrong, he immediately bowed and saluted:
"My Lord, what did Brother Du and Brother Liu do wrong?"
"Old Han."
"My subordinate is here."
"I want to rebel, what do you think?"
I would like to recommend a new book by an old author to everyone, "My Lady Guards the Frontier, I Listen to Music in the Capital, Leaning on the Railing"
You can give it a try.
