witch chaotic country

Chapter 684
"Many courtiers in Qiuchi have handed in memorials, asking senior sisters to establish themselves as emperors. Of course, there are also people who have written letters saying that it is not legal for a woman to claim the title of emperor."

"If you become emperor, neither the Southern Song Dynasty nor the Northern Wei Dynasty will sit idly by. If you don't take refuge in one side, the worst case is to be attacked by two sides."

"If you don't claim the title of emperor, Qiu Chi has already annexed the entire Northwest. If Senior Sister doesn't have the status of serving the people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to govern such a large country."

"Wang Wulang and Xie Jiulang will definitely be asked about this matter by the Northern Wei Dynasty when they are envoys to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Before that, we must discuss a countermeasure."

Yun Daosheng quickly recounted the key points of the two days' debate among the practitioners.Ever since the Salvation Army returned to Qiuchi, the matter of whether Tan Yaoyu became emperor has become a top priority.

Nowadays, most of Qiu Chi's courtiers are young and middle-aged courtiers, although there are some discussions about it, they seldom hit the point.On the contrary, the discussion in Mancui Building became increasingly intense.

Qin Zhongzhi knew that there was no complete solution to this matter.Regardless of proclaiming himself emperor or not, Tan Yaoyu will face constantly overlapping difficulties.

In order to prevent the walkers from making a move at a disagreement, Qin Zhongzhi could only mediate and said: "This matter is indeed difficult to make a decision..."

But before he finished speaking, a traveler stood up and said, "What's so difficult? Xingzhelou adheres to the upright Taoism, and what we seek is inaction and nature. If we try our best, how can we call ourselves kings and emperors for one person? ! If being an emperor can change the way of heaven, why should we work so hard to cultivate people with inflection points?!"

Another traveler immediately stood up and objected, "How about the emperor? How about the landlord? It's just a title. The current situation dictates that if you don't claim the title of emperor, how can you convince the public? The landlord is not the true king of the Sanqing in the gymnasium, and he only relies on daily incense. Enough! If you don’t claim the title of emperor, taxation will be unfair and unsatisfactory. Is it possible that the needs of a country are all supported by the Zhu family’s business?”

Qin Zhongzhi only felt that he was asking for trouble.With the knowledge and insight of the practitioners, why does he think he can mediate from it?
Qin Zhongzhi was thinking about finding a way to alleviate it, when a palace official reported from outside the hall, "Beining Xingzhe just sent his servant to pass on the message that Immortal Fairy wanted to go out for a while, but he couldn't stop him, so he had to follow Go up and protect."

Everyone looked at each other when they heard the words, they didn't understand why Tan Yaoyu left in such an urgent time, they didn't know what to do for a while.

It was Venerable Cangwu who spoke first: "The pros and cons of this matter, the little girl must have known from your debates. In the end, how to make a decision, I still have to listen to her own thoughts. Give her some time to think clearly."

"But... Wang Wulang and Xie Jiulang are going to leave in a few days, if the landlord can't make a decision before then, so what?"

"Then let them go first," Venerable Cangwu said decisively, "at worst, wait for the little girl to make a decision, and then Feige will pass the letter to the two of them."

When everyone thinks about it, it is true.For now, we can only wait for Tan Yaoyu to make his own decision.

At this time, in the imperial palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Kou Qianzhi was standing in front of Jiang Gan's door, waiting quietly.

Kou Qianzhi knocked on the door a few times until the sound of copper coins knocking on the back of the turtle completely stopped, and then pushed the door open and entered.

Jiang Gan didn't seem to notice that Kou Qianzhi came in, staring at the scattered copper coins and turtle backs on the desk, he seemed unwilling to get the result and went to grab the copper coins again.

Kou Qianzhi took the first step to hold down the back of the turtle, and shook his head at Jiang Gan, "Brother, you have done divination three times. If it is the same three times, why do you waste your merits? Even if the host knows, he will not agree."

Jiang Gan slammed his fist on the desk, and angrily said in puzzlement, "How could this be?! Yu'er has already gathered the entire western region, so why hasn't the way of heaven changed?! It doesn't make sense! Could it be true? Is it necessary for her to proclaim the emperor to change the way of heaven?"

Kou Qianzhi sighed softly, took a seat opposite Jiang Gan, and persuaded him: "Whether it's the divination by senior brother or my stargazing, the trend of the way of heaven has not shown the slightest difference. Maybe this is the power of the way of heaven, you and me mortals , will never be changed.”

"How is it possible!" Jiang Gan said unwillingly: "We have spent so much time, and Yu'er has suffered so much, is it possible that it is only to save her own life? If I know that all this is futile, why should I let her live in the underground palace?" Ten years of suffering here? Just take her to a deep mountain and hide her."

Kou Qianzhi couldn't help regretting and said: "Although it is recorded in the hexagram history that the person at the inflection point can change the way of heaven, I don't know how many seniors have tried this, but they all failed. We have tried our best. If it is still in vain, we should accept it calmly." .”

Jiang Gan sighed deeply when he heard the words, and he also knew that such a thing as reversing the way of heaven could not be achieved so easily.He put the copper coins and the turtle back into his sleeves again, and said to Kou Qianzhi: "If Yu'er's side doesn't work, I can only rely on you to save as many people as possible. Although Emperor Wei agreed to build Jinglun Tiangong, but after all I will listen to your persuasion, but I still don’t know.”

Kou Qianzhi nodded, "Although Emperor Wei can listen to advice, but he already has suspicions as an emperor. I am afraid that even if I persuade him with astrology, he may not be able to fully believe it."

Jiang Gan thought for a while and said: "I have seen the face of Empress Dowager Dou, she is a person of great virtue, you might as well use her mouth to persuade Wei Huang."

If there is anyone in the palace that Tuoba Tao can trust wholeheartedly, it is only Empress Dowager Dou.However, one month ago, Tuoba Tao officially conferred the title of Empress Dowager Dou Bao as the "Empress Dowager", and the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dou was promoted to the title of King of Liaodong.

Although the difference is only one word, the meaning is quite different.Adoptive mothers are treated as biological mothers.

And Dou, who became the first lady of the Northern Wei Empire, held the power to train and manage the entire Northern Wei royal family from concubine to clan, but was still as kind and loving as ever.

She looks at power very plainly, behaves in a pure-hearted and ascetic manner, and shows no signs of emotion or anger.

Kou Qianzhi recalled several conversations he had with Empress Dowager Dou, and felt that what Jiang Gan said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "It's just like what senior brother said."

The palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty had long received the news that Wang Wulang and Xie Jiulang were going to help the spirit go eastward. Before seeing them, the Northern Wei court obviously did not intend to take any action.But King Pengcheng in the south couldn't sit still.

He never expected that he would be on guard against Tan Daoji and his son day and night, but a daughter of the Tan family would get the job done first.Thinking of the "marriage that almost happened" between him and Tan Yaoyu, I feel even more regretful.

After receiving the news, King Pengcheng entered the palace anxiously to meet Liu Yilong.

As soon as he entered Liu Yilong's bedroom, King Pengcheng immediately knelt down and begged, "Brother, please summon Tan Daoji and his son to return to Beijing to report on their duties!"

King Pengcheng knew in his heart that with Tan Daoji at this time, the commander of the army and the official position of the official in Xinjiang, he could not recall it at will.

Liu Yilong silently watched the recall edict handed over by King Pengcheng.

With all his plans, Tan Daoji had only left the capital for two months.Liu Yilong thought that the Tan family had been separated, and that the border would not be without a commander for a long time, so he asked Tan Daoji to return to the Hu army camp to guard.

It's only been two months... If Tan Daoji is going to return to Beijing to report on his work, no matter how stupid a person is, he will be able to see the abnormality in it.

But even so, Liu Yilong still asked his servant to fetch the jade seal, and stamped a heavy seal on the imperial decree.
