Wu State
In Helu's palace, there were only five people in the huge palace at the moment, one of whom was still kneeling, and the remaining four were sitting.
The hall is so big, but at this moment it is so quiet that you can hear people breathing. Fu Chai's hands were tied and he knelt directly on the ground with his head lowered waiting for treatment. He felt like a dead pig at this moment. It was really torture and shame!
After a while, Helu glanced at Fu Chai, who was not up to expectations, and said directly: "What a shame, what a pain. My brother is gone like this..."
"I never expected that even the resurrection ceremony that had been prepared failed. My brother's will was not found deep in the will of heaven and earth. He was completely wiped out. It is really scary!"
Having said this, Helu looked at a man in Tsing Yi with black hair and a black beard standing aside. This man was the famous Mr. Changqing, who had been trying to train a group of prefecture-level Taoist soldiers for these years.
"In my opinion, this is a special magical power. Using this magical power, you can summon the traces left by King Dayu. This time, King Dayu defeated him."
"My defeat at the hands of King Yu was not unfair at all."
Having said this, Chang Qing looked at Fu Cha who was kneeling on the ground: "After the young master saw King Dayu, he chose to retreat in time. It was actually a rational move. No one knows whether King Dayu can still score the second Down."
After all, for a being like King Yu, an opponent of the first generation monarch's level is just a matter of one axe, and it is impossible for him to use the second axe. He doesn't look at what level he is, and he wants to see the great master. King Yu’s second ax?
"On the contrary, a timely retreat can avoid greater losses. Otherwise, if even the young master dies in Yancheng, then Wu State will have no choice but to fight Yancheng to death, which will directly affect Wu State's next national policy."
Every qualified country has a basic national policy. Since it is a national policy, it cannot be changed at will unless a huge accident occurs.
Fu Chai died in Yancheng, which was a huge accident.
He was not only the first generation monarch, but also the son of the Wu Kingdom and the next generation of Wu Hou. If such a person died in Yancheng, if Helu had not expressed his wishes and refused to fight to the death with Yancheng, then the entire Wu Kingdom would not have agreed. I will only feel that Helu, the Marquis of Wu, is old, fatuous, and frightened. He has reached a state of old age where he has lost his reason. It is time for him to abdicate in retirement.
Hearing this, Wu Zixu on the side also said: "Chang Qing is right!"
"Let's be honest, before we got the recognition and support of the Jin State, it was a barbaric and backward country. Even the eldest son inheritance system was not universally recognized."
This matter was an untouchable topic in Wu State, so Wu Zixu mentioned it briefly and then said nothing. Everyone knows what he means.
Helu's father was the eldest son of the previous generation. Later, when his father died, he did not let Helu succeed to the throne. Instead, he let his younger brother succeed. After his younger brother succeeded to the throne, he also died not long after. After his death, his younger brother did not let his children succeed. Succession, but continue to let the next brother succeed.
After the next brother succeeded to the throne, he died soon after. He wanted to pass the throne to the youngest brother, but the youngest brother shook his head repeatedly. Maybe what he was thinking was: no dog can take the position of Marquis of Wu.
Then, the youngest brother ran away without saying a word.
After he ran away like this, the third brother realized that he couldn't let his younger brother inherit, so who should he inherit?
Just let your son inherit it.
Helu was very opposed to this decision, so he recruited assassins, launched a coup, and became the contemporary Marquis of Wu.
Now Wu Zixu's reform of the State of Wu has initially achieved results, but there are many people who support the eldest son inheritance system and the brother inheritance system.
Therefore, Helu was not as sad as he appeared on the surface regarding Xiang Liu's death.
Because in the eyes of many people, younger brother Xiang Liu also has the right to inherit.
Better to be dead!
Thinking of this, Helu looked at Fu Cha who was kneeling on the ground: "Humph, this kid went with his uncle when he went there, and now when he comes back, he is the only one left. How can this be so simple? Never mind?"
"Then let the young master go to the Shiwan Mountain and kill a ferocious beast to prove his bravery." Wu Zixu said casually.
"If the young master dies inside, it only means that the young master does not have this fate. If the young master successfully kills the beast and comes back alive, then the matter is over."
Hearing this, Fu Chai's eyes widened. However, he still lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head. He was already scolding Wu Zixu to death in his heart: You Wu Zixu, my father is just saying this, but you actually take it seriously. ? You are trying to harm me!
What Wu Zixu was thinking was: If you say so on the surface, you can actually send someone to help secretly. If that doesn't work, just find the head of a ferocious beast from the treasury of the State of Wu, and just say you killed it. It's such a simple thing. Son!
Helu nodded and changed the topic: "Gentlemen, what kind of magical power does Mr. Yan use? What are the limitations of this magical power?"
Changqing thought for a moment and said: "It feels a bit like the sacrifices of the previous dynasties. Legend has it that when King Wu and King Zhou fought in Chaoge, King Zhou once recruited the heroic spirits of the twenty-eighth generation of great Shang monarchs to help."
Wu Zixu thought for a moment and said, "Chang Qing is right!"
"These magical powers are somewhat similar to those of the great witches in ancient times. It is said that in ancient times, the great witches were all under the command of heaven and man. Each great witch had various magical abilities and could communicate with the departed sages. Many great witches had similar powers. ability."
"This kind of magical power must have sequelae, and it consumes a lot of money. I heard that Mr. Yan has not shown up for several days. If he hadn't frequently met with key people, rumors that he might have died have come out now."
"I feel that Mr. Yan must also feel uncomfortable. This magical power will definitely cause great troubles. Moreover, no one knows whether the traces left by King Yu in this communication were made with the help of some one-time treasures, or whether they can be repeated again and again. Communication. If it’s the former, it’s nothing, but if it’s the latter, it’s the biggest threat.”
"Moreover, we can communicate with King Yu today, but what about tomorrow? Can we communicate with Emperor Yan? Emperor Huang?" A certain bearded minister said directly.
"If you really have this ability, then there is no need to worry. Then it will not be a problem for our country of Wu, but a problem for the princes of the world. Therefore, I feel that we can wait and see what happens. As long as Lord Yan does not attack our country of Wu, we will Pretend that none of this happened.”
"As for the prestige issue caused by this, I need to leave it to Mr. Changqing."
Chang Qing nodded: "The training of the earth-level Taoist soldiers is almost completed, and they can see the blood."
Wu Zixu continued: "Chang Qing is right. When a divine weapon is born, there is always one who wields the blade and sacrifices the sword. This earth-level Taoist soldier appears again after so many years. He must choose a good partner to shock the world!"
Helu was thinking about the map of the world and the countries bordering Wu: "Let's try attacking Xu first. Xu is conservative and backward. It has not carried out any reforms so far. It also just ended the war with Chu and suffered heavy losses. Give it a try, give it a try, see.”
Although the earth-level Taoist soldiers sound very powerful, I have never seen them with my own eyes. Therefore, Helu did not intend to take the prefecture-level Taoist soldiers to fight with the Chu State right away. He had to find a soft persimmon first to see how capable the prefecture-level Taoist soldiers were.
…
Yancheng
Since there have been a lot of rumors recently, Jiang Hua has temporarily started seeing guests.
From today on, Jiang Hua will spend half an hour every day meeting some guests in the Jun Mansion through projection.
This was used to show the outside world that Gu was seriously injured and not dead. Although the consequences will be great, his life is still there. Moreover, today's Yancheng still calls the shots alone, and there is no such thing as usurpation of power by powerful ministers. The Hundred Schools of Thought will continue to be maintained and published, and everything in Yancheng will continue.
Even today, Jiang Hua directly cast a magic projection, sat on a recliner, and was carried around the streets of Yancheng.
Following Jiang Hua's many actions, many people couldn't help but sigh: Why didn't you die? How wonderful it would be if you were dead!
If Jiang Hua dies, Yancheng will disappear soon, and then the wealth of Yancheng and all the knowledge of Yancheng will be divided up by interested people: this is a huge amount of wealth, and destiny alone involves a lot. .
Looking at Jiang Hua, who was wrapped up thickly in cotton-padded clothes, Taiping Taoist couldn't help but sigh: "When Jun Shang was here, he didn't notice anything strange."
Hearing this, the second brother on the side also nodded: "Indeed, in the past few years, I only knew that Mr. Salt was important, but I never expected that Mr. Salt would be so important. He had just disappeared for a decade, and the entire Yancheng and Dongning The island, as well as us people, are all in chaos."
"He is still here today. Even if he only takes two steps as a projection, and his real body is still healing, people's hearts have suddenly calmed down. Perhaps unknowingly, he already has a very important and important character in our hearts. Important position."
The third brother thought for a while: "Me too!"
Soon after, Taiping Taoist sent a greeting card.
On the second day, Taoist Taiping saw Jiang Hua's projection in the palace.
After chatting for a while, Taiping Taoist discovered that Jiang Hua was really Jiang Hua, and the projection was not pretended by someone else. He immediately felt more relieved: "As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. Now that Mr. Yan has gone through hardships, what will happen next?" It’s time to enjoy yourself.”
Jiang Hua smiled and waved his hand: "It's early, I have a hard life. I originally had to worry about the 24 million people in the fifteen counties of Yancheng, but now? Suddenly there are four more counties in the south, There are seven counties in the west and six counties in the north.”
"In the past, there were fifteen counties, but now there are thirty-two counties. In the past, there were 24 million people, and now there are 39 million people, almost reaching 40 million."
"With so many people, I have to worry about it. Do you think this is more work than before?"
"Moreover, in the past, the national power of Chao Kingdom was limited, and it has always had a suppressive attitude towards the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest. These four parties have not been connected to each other so far. They are not connected on land at all and can only be connected through the Chao River. The Chao River is simply vast. Water transportation is also very convenient, but there is no land border, which makes me feel uneasy."
"If you want to connect Yancheng and the four southern counties on land, you have to open up the jungle in the two counties. This is another big project. Moreover, the land in the two counties is not safe. If you want to be safer, it is best to open up the jungle. Three counties or even four counties.”
"It's the same in the north. There are six counties there, which are further away from Yancheng. If you want to have a land border, you have to open up at least three counties. If the connection is closer, it would be better to open five counties."
"If you want to connect the seven most remote counties in the west with the four counties in the south and the six counties in the north, at least five counties and seven counties must be developed respectively. Taken together, Yancheng will open up at least 21 counties in the future. county."
"These twenty-one counties all have to be developed from scratch. Do you think it is difficult to face the monsters and monsters in the forest?"
"When Gu Gu thinks about these problems, he can't help but sigh. Gu has a hard life. He really doesn't have a day off."
Hearing this, Taiping Taoist raised his hand towards Jiang Hua: "Then Taoist, I have to congratulate Mr. Yan!"
"Oh? Where does joy come from?"
"Now Yanjun has thirty-two counties. In the future, these jungles will be opened up to create twenty-one more counties. There are still twenty-six counties in Chaohe River. Together, these will make eighty-nine counties."
"Twenty years later, at least ten counties can be opened up on Dongning Island, and then there will be ninety-nine counties."
"Whether it's a hundred counties or a population of tens of millions, it won't be a problem for Lord Yan twenty years from now."
"Twenty years later, Lord Yan will become a prince. Isn't this a happy event? Isn't this worth celebrating?"
Hearing this, Jiang Hua waved his hands repeatedly: "Hey, this is all in the future, who can say for sure?"
"Just like now, Gu can only take good care of his wounds and recuperate. The future can only be discussed in the future."
Taiping Taoist smiled and said: "Li Sheng once said that misfortune lies where blessing lies, and misfortune lies behind it. After recovering from his injury, Mr. Yan will not be far away from becoming a Xiantian. Then we will accumulate more In some years, it can be as fast as ten or twenty years, or as slow as thirty or fifty years, and it can be expected that one will become an innate person."
"I hope so." Jiang Hua said.
"Mr. Yan, in addition to visiting Mr. Yan's injury, I have another plan when I come here this time, which is to directly attack the opposite Hanoi County."
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
If you tell me this, I won't feel sleepy anymore!
In an instant, Jiang Hua became energetic.
"Now Lord Yan, as a Taoist priest, rebelled against the first emperor, and his reputation has spread throughout the world. No Taoist priest has done this for a long, long time."
"Now the whole world is curious about what Mr. Yan's magical power is and what the sequelae are. Everyone's attention is here, and the secrets near Yancheng are blocked layer by layer. At this time, the secrets of the secrets are almost useless."
"Winter is coming soon, and this is not a good time to send troops."
"The more we send troops at this time, the less people will think about it."
"Moreover, when the troops are sent out at this moment and pass through Chaohe River, they will be hidden among the fleets heading to the south, west and north from Yancheng and will not be discovered at all. As long as they are disguised as caravans, no one will be suspicious at all."
