Chao State was defeated, and Huai State completely occupied the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. More importantly, Chu State's access to attack Huai State was blocked. Unless Chu State was willing to detour to the south, there were many hills in that area, the roads were inconvenient, and there were many Yi Di in the mountains. , only the Yangtze River waterway is a plain.
In this era, there is no development time for decades or hundreds of years, so basically don’t even think about passing through here.
After conquering Chao Kingdom, Wang Jin ordered the people to migrate to Chao Kingdom and at the same time reformed the system of Chao Kingdom.
Move the upper class and move in the common people to disrupt the people of the Chao Kingdom and prevent them from connecting, reform the system, reduce taxes and people's cultivation, and at the same time send academy students to manage it. With one set of combo punches, Chao Kingdom was basically under control.
The Huai State army was stationed in Chao State to prevent Chu from attacking. After staying in Chao State for a year, Gongzi Min prepared to return to Huai State by ship. Young Master Min destroyed Chao this time and gained a lot of loot, especially because Wang Jin ordered that he could obtain one-third of the treasures of Chao's treasury.
One-third of the wealth of Chao Kingdom was a huge sum, and Gongzi Min specially transported it with water. The charioteer of Gongzi Min had just come out of the mansion. This time he returned to Huai Kingdom. Gongzi Min also brought an alchemist with him. This alchemist was the most famous alchemist in Chao Kingdom.
Alchemists have been around since ancient times. During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, they used witchcraft to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits. They also knew how to use herbal medicine to cure diseases and save people, or to communicate with gods through divination.
There are also alchemists in the Huai Kingdom, but since Zijue became the ancestral god, these alchemists have lost most of their functions and their status has been reduced a lot. However, many of these alchemists want to live forever, and most of them communicate with the nobles.
Young Master Min fell ill in Chao and was cured by this alchemist. When he returned home, he was prepared to take him back and recommend him as a medical officer. Huai State attaches great importance to medical officers and will summon medical officers every once in a while to summarize medical skills.
Because of the attention paid by the Huai Kingdom's official office, Huai Kingdom's medical skills developed rapidly.
A group of people took a boat to go down the Yangtze River. The water flow in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is gentle, but there are many mountains and rivers on both sides of this section, and the scenery is beautiful.
Just when the ship was passing Jinling City, the alchemist An Shangqiao suddenly pointed to the mountains not far away and said: "This mountain has majestic mountains, graceful water flow, dragon veins living here, and this place has a royal aura!"
"Kingly?" Young Master Min beside him was slightly stunned and reacted instantly.
Then he asked the others to disperse, and then asked: "An Qing, why did you just say that there is a king's energy here?"
"Sir, this place has beautiful bells and beautiful scenery, as well as the Yangtze River's dragon veins. If we build a city here, we will have the opportunity to rule the world!" An Shangqiao said, pointing to the land on the other side.
"Wang Tianxia!" Young Master Min's face changed slightly, but he quickly recovered and said solemnly: "An Qing, are you sure?"
An Shangqiao smiled and said, "Sir, what I'm best at is looking at energy, not medical skills!"
"Master, look over there!" An Shangqiao pointed at a mountain peak not far away.
There was nothing strange about the mountain peak surrounded by clouds and mist, but at this moment, the sun seemed to penetrate the clouds and mist, and streaks of purple light emerged from the rain and mist. The young master was dumbfounded.
"The purple light soaring into the sky and the auspicious clouds shrouding it are signs of rising kingly aura. This place has the foundation of kingly dominance!" An Shangqiao said with a smile.
Seeing the purple light soaring into the sky, Gongzi Min immediately believed it. The scene just now was really too magical.
"Come here!" Young Master Min shouted, and two guards immediately came forward.
"Go and ask, what's the name of that place?"
"Here!" The guard quickly hurried over after asking.
"Sir, that's the city of Jinling, which was established by Duke Wu Zhao to defend against Chu's attack."
"Well, you go down!" Young Master Min waved his hand.
"An Qing, don't tell anyone about what's going on here!" Gongzimin said, staring at An Shangqiao.
An Shangqiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, I know!"
Gongzi Min looked back at the mountain peak that had returned to normal, and then returned to the cabin.
The ship had a smooth journey and soon arrived at Weiyang, then headed north through the canal back to Huai'an. return
After arriving in Huai'an, Gongzi Min did not go home, but went directly to the Huai Palace.
Wang Jin was discussing state affairs with several officials at this time. When he saw Young Master Min coming in a hurry, he asked a little strangely: "My uncle just came back and he didn't go home to rest. Is there anything important to come to see Gu in such a hurry?" "
Young Master Min looked around with a serious look on his face. Wang Jin suddenly understood and said, "My lords, let's stop the discussion today. You can discuss the rest of the matter first and then bring it to me tomorrow!"
All the doctors resigned one after another!
After seeing everyone retreating, Gongzi Min told Wang Jin what had happened.
"Does Jinling have the aura to rule the world?" Wang Jin was slightly startled. Then he smiled and said: "Uncle, Jinling is a small city on the Yangtze River, with only three thousand people in it. It has the aura of kings in the world. My uncle couldn't have been deceived by some alchemist!"
"Your Majesty, this alchemist is the most famous alchemist in Chao Kingdom. I was seriously ill last year and was cured by him!" Young Master Min said, "This time I took the boat back to the country, I saw it with my own eyes on the boat."
"There is a mountain peak south of Jinling. It is surrounded by clouds and mist. Suddenly a purple light suddenly appears, rising into the sky, and being enveloped by auspicious clouds! This is what I have seen with my own eyes!"
Seeing that his uncle was so serious and expressed repeatedly, Wang Jin, who was originally very skeptical, couldn't help but believe it, so he asked: "Uncle didn't lie to me, did he really see it with his own eyes?"
"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can find those boatmen. Although the purple light didn't last long at that time, many people still saw it."
Wang Jin hesitated for a moment, then shouted outside the palace: "Come here!"
"Your Majesty, my servant is here!" Two attendants walked in and said respectfully.
"Go out immediately and ask for all the boatmen on the ship that my uncle mentioned. If you have any questions, ask them!"
"Here!" The two attendants handed over their hands and left.
About half an hour later, two attendants brought dozens of people outside the palace, and then Wang Jin questioned all of them.
As a result, except for a few who didn't see it, the rest said they saw a purple light rising into the sky.
So many people said that there was a purple light rising into the sky, and Wang Jin was hesitant for a while. Of course, he actually believed it 70% of the time.
Wang Jin immediately found a confidant and asked him to follow the boatmen to Jinling City by boat to see if it was true.
Five days later, the confidant returned with excitement on his face, and then said to Wang Jin: "Your Majesty, this place is indeed magical. I stayed here for five days and finally saw a wonderful sight of purple light rising into the sky and auspicious clouds shrouding it."
After hearing what his confidants said, Wang Jin finally believed what An Shangqiao said: Jinling has the aura to dominate the world.
Immediately no longer hesitate and sent Minzhuang to build the city in Jinling!
