That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 960 Turning the world by one's own power
According to counting, Daqi has been established for 54 years, nearly a period of time, and Wei State was renamed Wei State. It has been 52 years since the second year of Huanglong. In the past fifty years, Although the State of Wei is a vassal state of Da Qi in name, it is actually a small world of its own, with all civil and military officials, six ministers and nine ministers, and the king of Wei is no different from an emperor. I am afraid that the only difference is the title. One is the king, the other is the emperor, the difference is only one word.

At the beginning, Chen Gongyu said in the Dabaoen Temple that he had been seeking a white crown for 60 years. After all, adding white to "king" means "emperor".

After the Dongting Lake water battle, the three major battalions of Jundao, Nanhu, and Tieshan of the Jiangnan Navy all fell, and they were all in the hands of the Wei State Navy. After the war, Xiao Jin ordered people to repair Jundao Wanshi Garden and took this place as his own. Where the palace is located.

The Wanshi Garden used to belong to the palace and bedroom of Emperor Daqi. Although the surname has not been changed at this time, it has been replaced. Everywhere in Jundao, wait quietly for His Royal Highness King Wei to be summoned. Among them, there are high and low points. Respectable people can get closer to the Palace of King Wei. Generals who hold real power, such as Shangguan Tan, can even stay directly in Wanshi Garden In the middle, there is the meaning of Suwei, to show closeness.

Today, Wei Wang Xiaojin summoned a group of ministers to discuss matters in his palace, which was also called "sitting and discussing Taoism" by Wei Guowen and Wu in private. Standing tall and sitting north and facing south, other people's seats are not too obviously high or low, which is very different from the court meeting of the Daqi court in the Central Plains.

The scope of this court meeting is very small, and the people who can attend the meeting, in addition to many noble and high-ranking officials of the Wei State, even people from the ghost palace such as Xiao Lin and Meng Dongfei, who are sitting on the left and right of Xiao Jin , It seems to be a piece of paper and a weapon.

With the end of the Battle of Dongting Lake, Shangguan Tan ranked No. 1 in martial arts in the Wei Kingdom, and there was only Xiao Lin separated from Xiao Jin in the ranking. However, after he came to the palace today, he has been silent all the time. It is a person with military power in his hands who understands the situation on the frontal battlefield more and more, and also does not know how to speak.

He subconsciously glanced at his elder brother, Shangguan Yun, who was sitting opposite him.

Since the deaths of Shangguan Feng and Shangguan Luan, the Shangguan family, who were once among the five powerful families of the Wei State, are left with only their brothers to support the family, so the second brother who has never been directly involved in the officialdom of the Wei State is here for the first time. Participating in the discussion made Shangguan Tan's heart a little darker.

The high-ranking clans of the Five Great Kingdoms back then, apart from Zhang and Gongsun, who have already faded into obscurity, there are still three left. Blooming everywhere is not limited to the Wei country, so even His Royal Highness King Wei can't restrict the Murong family too much, on the contrary, he has to rely more on it.

Only their Shangguan family, after the death of their ancestor Shangguan Xianchen, often went downhill, and now they have to be tied to the big ship of the Wei State.

It's like a big gamble, it's gratifying to win the bet, but what if you lose the bet?

Shangguan Tan didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

At this moment, Xiao Jin, who was sitting at the highest position, looked around and said slowly: "I think you already know that in the previous battle between Liangxiang and Jianzong Xu Beiyou, our army was defeated. I have to retreat for the time being. I wonder if you know what Xu Beiyou did after this battle?"

There was no sound in the palace.

Only Xiao Lin, who single-handedly created the Ghost King's Palace, replied in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, Xu Beiyou has left Liangxiang after the battle of Liangxiang, and went to Shu Prefecture via Baidi City with Qian Muzhai and others. When passing through Baidi City, I had a private meeting with Sun Shaotang, the former governor of the left army of Shu Prefecture."

Xiao Jin nodded, and then said: "What happened after Xu Beiyou met Sun Shaotang? I think you don't know, so I will tell you that Xu Beiyou went to Southern Xinjiang from Shuzhou, and Zhao Qing and Lanyu were there to help. According to the news sent back from the Daomen, Zhu Jiuyin, the Great Elder of the Southern Xinjiang Witch Sect, and the Man King have both died at the hands of Zhao Qing, and now the entire Southern Border barbarian tribe has no leader, and it is difficult to restrain the former army of Shuzhou."

As soon as Xiao Jin's words came out, the faces of all the high-ranking civil and military officials of the Wei State were obviously ugly. Everyone present was familiar with important military and political affairs, so they naturally knew what it meant.

Xiao Jin continued: "If nothing unexpected happens, Sapphire has already gone to Baidi City at this time, then there is no surprise that the former army of Shuzhou sent troops to help the rear army in the south of the Yangtze River. The lord of the Sword Sect actually relied on With his own efforts, he reversed the situation in Huzhou by half."

The faces of the people present are no longer as simple as a little ugly, but extremely dignified.

Shangguan Tan kept silent. In the battle of Dongting Lake, the Jiangnan Navy lost a lot. It can be said that only one coach Yu Kuang was able to break out of the siege alone. In Liangxiang City, if Xu Beiyou hadn't rushed to help Liangxiang unexpectedly, then Liangxiang had changed hands at this time.But who can restrict Xu Beiyou?Chen Ye, the black-clothed head teacher of the Taoist sect, led the deacons of the Temple of Demon Suppression, so what?Such a huge Demon-Suppressing Hall was killed by one person and one sword. Even the first chief deacon, Taiyi Save Ku Tianzun, surrendered to Jianzong.

Xiao Jin smiled, "People in the Sword Sect have always believed in turning the world around by their own power. This was true for Shangguan Xianchen back then, and it is still true for Xu Beiyou today. Of course, it was also in the south of the Yangtze River back then, and Shangguan Xianchen died in the river. There are bound to be many people thinking in their hearts, will Xu Beiyou also die by the river? Let me tell you, there are already a lot of masters who died directly at the hands of Xu Beiyou, Li Fenggu, Xiao Shen , Zhongli Anning, Ksitigarbha, Central Ghost Emperor, Yama, the lowest level is also the [-]th Floor of Dixian, if Xu Beiyou suddenly appeared in this Ten Thousand Stones Garden today, how would you stop him?"

There was silence in the palace, and no one could answer this heartbreaking question.

Xiao Jin sighed softly: "Based on closeness, the Emperor Shenzong of Zheng is the lonely uncle. How did he die back then? He died at the hands of the lonely elder brother. That time, he invited Shangguan Xianchen, it's a pity Xiao Yu was superior in skills, and invited the old headmaster of the Taoist sect to teach Zi Chen, so don't underestimate these earth immortal monks. Although they cannot easily attack on the battlefield due to the restrictions of heaven, if you learn from assassins and dead men, Its effect is even greater than being in the battlefield, if someone can kill Gu, or kill any one of Mu Tangzhi and Lin Hanzhong at this time, I am afraid that the situation of the world will change immediately..."

Having said that, Xiao Jin fell into silence.

There are only a handful of people in the world who have this ability, but that Xu Beiyou who gave him such a headache is one of them.
