Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 637 I Will Give You Your Fate

Hong Zhenji did not lie, he is indeed a minister of the Pro-Propaganda faction.

He had tripped up Liang Yuyao and almost killed Xu Zhiqiong, but he did advocate that Qiancheng and Daxuan should be friends.

Just because Hong Zhenji belonged to the pro-declaration sect, Hong Zhenji had suffered a lot of exclusion in the court these years.

Hong Zhenji smiled wryly and said: "The widow is in a situation where there is no favor from the king at the top, and no support at the bottom, but Yun Hou thinks that the widow can have any wild ideas?"

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "Since the pro-announcement faction is not welcome, why does King Shu still want to proclaim it personally?"

Hong Zhenji said: "As a minister, I should share the worries of the gods. This is my duty as a minister of Qiancheng!"

Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "If you talk about Jill, you might as well say less."

Hong Zhenji sighed: "Although I don't know what it means to talk about Jill, but if I guess correctly, Yunhou should be humiliating the widow.

Yunhou may not believe that the widow will do his duty as a minister, but Yunhou must understand one thing, the widow is a person of thousands of times after all,

Let's put those superficial words aside, and to be honest, the reason why I get close to Daxuan is because Daxuan does not want the land of Qiancheng, and will not let Qiancheng perish. "

Xu Zhiqiong kept looking at Hong Zhenji. Since the meeting, Hong Zhenji finally told the truth, which was the sentence just now.

He got close to Daxuan because he was afraid that Qiancheng would perish the country.

"Will Tu Nu let you perish?"

"Since the establishment of the country, Tunu has been asking for three things from my thousand vehicles, one is land, the other is food, and the third is gold and silver. These three things are the key to the country!
The Tunu people take [-]% of our food every year, and we give it back. Qiancheng’s land is still fertile, and Qiancheng is barely hardworking..."

Snapped!Xu Zhiqiong slapped Hong Zhenji's face.

Hong Zhenji covered his face and looked at Xu Zhiqiong in astonishment.

He has never been beaten since he came out of the womb.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "The slap just now made you remember. You Qiancheng people are not hardworking. Among the people I met, they are the most diligent."

Hong Zhenji rubbed his face, nodded and said: "Yes, Qiancheng people are really hardworking. In addition to paying taxes and taxes, an extra [-]% of the food produced each year is handed over to Tunu, which is barely enough..."

Snapped!
Xu Zhiqiong slapped his face again: "Aside from enshrining the imperial court and giving it to Tu slaves, is there no other use for the grain grown by the Qiancheng people?"

Hong Zhenji touched his face and said: "Return, there are state and county taxes..."

Snapped!
Xu Zhiqiong raised his hand and slapped again: "We'll talk after we think about it!"

Hong Zhenji covered his face and said with tears in his eyes, "He, they can barely eat enough..."

It's not that he doesn't know what Xu Zhiqiong means, the food grown by Qiancheng people, Qiancheng people also have to eat!

It's just that he really couldn't say these words.

Xu Zhiqiong shouted: "Barely enough to eat? Why so reluctantly? Tell me what you said?"

Hong Zhenji sobbed and said: "The royal tax and silver must not be less, the tax and silver of the state government must not be less, and the tribute to Tu Nu must not be less. Every year Tu Nu has a lot of gold and silver. I have to use food to make up for it, and half of my thousand times of food is actually given to Tu Nu every year."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "The imperial court collected a lot of food, where did it go?"

Hong Zhenji wiped away his tears and said: "Most of them were given to the warriors. I have a standing army of 80 soldiers."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "The 80 standing army is still being bullied by Tu Nu into this appearance?"

"This 80 army is not very good at fighting."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I'm not good at fighting, so why keep it?"

"Staying, after all, is a deterrent."

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and asked, "Is it to deter the Tunu people, or the Qiancheng people?"

"All, all..." Hong Zhenji couldn't think of a better answer.

Xu Zhiqiong was silent for a long time, and asked again: "Tu Nu has a vast land and few people, and it is not easy to gather an army of 20. I don't believe that an army of 80 can't even win with 20?"

Hong Zhenji sighed and said: "It's hard to predict how the sergeant will be, but I have a thousand troops but lack generals."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Since there is a standing army of 80, the generals only need to train troops, and the difference is not much worse."

Hong Zhenji shook his head and said: "A person who can lead an army cannot be a general, and a person who becomes a general cannot lead an army, because I employ thousands of people and put virtue first."

Hearing the words "morality first", Xu Zhiqiong laughed, and Hong Zhenji sighed and said: "The strength of the army of thousands of chariots, the god knows it well, since the god has succeeded to the throne, the food, gold and silver given to Tunu are countless, The land cut to Tu Nu is also countless."

Hearing this sentence, Xu Zhiqiong felt a little taste, at least it could be seen that Hong Zhenji was dissatisfied in his heart.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Tu Nu bullies you Qiancheng so much, there are still people close to Tu Nu in the court? Your divine ruler still insists on being close to Tu Nu?"

Hong Zhenji said helplessly: "If you don't kiss Tu, Tunu is really fighting. In the past two years, Daxuan started a war with Tunu, and Tunu lost three provinces in a row. In a fit of anger, Tunu declared war on me.

I fought with him thousands of times, I couldn't bear the bloodshed of the soldiers, and cut off ten cities to Tunu, this war just ended, to this day, there are still countless ministers who hate Daxuan for this. "

Snapped!
Xu Zhiqiong slapped Hong Zhenjie again.

"Tunu beat you, why do you hate Daxuan?"

Hong Zhenji covered his face and said: "I understand the reason. I have never hated Daxuan. Daxuan doesn't want my Qiancheng land, and there is a huge sea between me and Qiancheng. You will not use force against me. With Daxuan restraining him, Tunu will be afraid of Qiancheng in the future,

I asked my brother Hong Zuchang to go to Xuanguo as an envoy. I wanted to form an alliance with Xuanguo, but Xuanguo didn't want to treat each other with courtesy, and he looked down on me everywhere. We can only use the old master Yu Xian as a threat In addition, Xuanguo sent envoys to take the initiative to repair Qiancheng with me. "

Xu Zhiqiong slapped back and slapped again: "How good do you say you put this thought on Tu Nu?"

Hong Zhenji covered his face and said: "Yun Hou, you beat me up, and you're out of breath. Let's undo the soul-stirring technique on me. If I lose this life, Xuan Guo and Qian Cheng will be separated from each other from now on." To break."

Xu Zhiqiong sneered and said, "How can we break with you? Daxuan is not even afraid of Tunu, how can he be afraid of you?"

Hong Zhenji said in a low voice: "Multiple friends are better than many enemies."

Xu Zhiqiong sneered and said, "It's not easy to be your friend? Just beat you! Tunu beat you the worst, and they are your friend!"

Hong Zhenji was speechless, when Xu Zhiqiong stretched out his hand, Hong Zhenji quickly covered his face.

Xu Zhiqiong didn't slap him, but just sealed the breath in his body with a bag.

"Are you comfortable?"

Hong Zhenji let out a long breath, and pulled out the knife in his heart again.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I'll ask you again, do you want to be emperor?"

Hong Zhenji lowered his head and said, "I don't have that fate."

"If I give you this fate, do you think it or not?"

Hong Zhenji pursed his lips and said, "Is there anyone in the world who doesn't want to be the Ninth Five-Year Master."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Okay, if you have this word, I will fulfill you. You first do three things for me,
The first one, go back and raise 10 taels of silver, and deliver it within three days,

The second thing is to tell me all the garrisons around the capital, and it is best to draw a picture, and it will be delivered tomorrow.

The third thing is to tell me all the cultivators of the fifth rank and above of the Shenji Division, including Taoist sects and cultivation bases. "

Hong Zhenji couldn't speak smoothly when he heard the words: "Yinzi is easy to say, the last two things, if there is a slight mistake, the family will be destroyed..."

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "Be more careful, don't let him make mistakes?"

Hong Zhenji bowed his head and remained silent.

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "If you don't agree, I will restore the soul-stirring technique right now!"

Hong Zhenji waved his hands again and again and said: "Yes, I promise, I just agree, but Yunhou must be careful, this matter must not leak the slightest word."

"Since you are going to be an emperor, you are a little bit courageous anyway, go back and order a dragon robe, find a reliable tailor, and make it fit better."

"Don't dare to do that!" Hong Zhenji said, "How could such a meaningless act be done before the matter is clear?"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "It's not for you to wear, it's for your brother."
