Daxia Lingxian

Chapter 362: If I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?

As soon as Cai Ji said "accepting the order", he was startled.

Because with Luoning disembarking, there was also Yin Rong.

Yin Rong's powerful aura almost made him escape.He had already seen the black dog monster next to Luoning, but who knew that Luoning also had a silver monster wolf!

There are actually two first-grade monsters as pets!

Not even Da Xia Zi.

Before Cai Ji could restrain his surprise, he was shocked again by Lu Pianpian who came out of the cabin.

Another real person achieves perfection!
This woman is so stunning. Could it be that she belongs to Zhiyuan... How did Zhiyuan become so powerful?
Cai Ji was in a trance. He saw more than 3 ghost soldiers who were powerful enough to compete with an army of 20. Apart from being horrified, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

It is already difficult for the court to check and balance Zhiyuan's power.

At least when the court had no time to take care of him, Zhiyuan was no longer at the mercy of the court.

It's ridiculous that important officials in the DPRK are transferred to the DPRK and sent people to take over the three counties of Xifan.

Alas, today's Zhiyuan is far beyond his own comparison.

Sister, you are really mistaken.

Cai Ji's mood was complicated, but he had a tough heart and a deep character. These emotions were hidden deep inside, and he was just chatting with Luo Ning.

A month ago, the envoy sent by the Queen of the Japanese Kingdom arrived in Chang'an. They were extremely respectful, recounted the affairs of the Japanese Kingdom in court one by one, and requested to return to Xia.

The emperor was overjoyed and everyone in the court was shocked.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese country, which has always been ruthless in the sea, was actually conquered by Luo Ning using underhanded soldiers.

This is the achievement of destroying a country and opening up a frontier!The first time for the founding of the country!
Today, all 200 million elites of the Japanese country have been annihilated by Luoning, and all fifteen real strong men have been killed. Even the emperor and the shogunate have died in the hands of Luoning.

Luo Ning also established Queen Yingzi in the name of the imperial envoy of Daxia and changed the name of Japan to Yingzhou.

Although these behaviors were arbitrary, arrogant, and even disrespectful, he was far away overseas, and the emperor still understood these expedient measures.

Therefore, although many courtiers impeached Luo Ning for his evil intentions, and some even said that Luo Ning was ambitious and would be a serious problem for the court, the emperor still insisted on rewarding him.

Some ministers also requested to issue an edict to have Luoning hand over the Yin army's military power and distribute it to the commanders of the city gods in each state to split Luoning's military power.

Cai Ji, the censor of Qiandu, objected, saying that rebels were rising all over the world, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the Jin Kingdom was frequently moving south. When the imperial court was appointing people, it should not be suspicious of the heroes at home and abroad.

If Luo Ning is forced to rebel, it will undoubtedly make matters worse.

Chongzhen adopted Cai Ji's words and said: "Cai Qing is an old man who plans for the country and has won my heart."

Therefore, Cai Ji was sent as an imperial envoy to the Yangzhou estuary to wait for Luo Ning to return and issue decrees and rewards.

At this time, Cai Ji finished his greetings, took out the imperial edict, and said solemnly:
"Luo Ning accepts the order!"

The incense table has already been set up on the shore, so there is no need to set it up again.

Although Luo Ning was a little surprised, he still bowed his head and said: "I listen to the imperial edict."

Lu Pianpian, who was not far away, understood why Luo Ning still accepted the order.

With his current strength, he could completely turn a deaf ear to Da Xia Zi's imperial edict.The court was in troubled times and could not do anything to him.

Ke Luoning still respected Xia Ting.

This is because maintaining Xia Ting is the most time-saving and cost-effective solution.

If they rebelled against Xia Ting, established their own country, and intensified the civil war in the Central Plains, it would be the Jin Kingdom that took advantage.

I don’t know how many more years of war we will have to fight, and we don’t know how many more years of chaos the world will have.

Even if a new dynasty can be established, we still have to deal with the Jin Kingdom and continue to fight.

When the world is unified, the end comes, and the day lilies are cold.

Only by Kuang Fu Xia Shi and uniting forces on the basis of Daxia can we have enough time to change the doomsday disaster.

Cai Ji read: "The Emperor is entrusted to heaven, and the edict says: I heard that Zhongliang is in a foreign land, and his heart is in Zhongxia. He does not worry about the king's affairs every day, and does not do anything for the king's career. This is because the loyal minister is away and leads the king from afar. You can do whatever you want..."

"...You are traveling thousands of miles across the waves, facing unforeseen dangers, daring to penetrate deep into the enemy's lair, sending out your Yin soldiers to fight against the unworthy ministers on behalf of heaven, annihilating the ugly ones, and opening up Yingzhou... You can't do this without great loyalty, great wisdom, great fortune, great courage and great faith..."

"Isn't it just human power? Is it God?"

"...Since you have made great contributions, I will not begrudge you the reward that will be forever..."

"With the hereditary title of Jin, I will not only serve as the founding of the country, but also serve as the loyal and loyal protector of the country. I will be awarded the title of Shaobao, and will be the commander-in-chief of the military forces in Tubo, Yizhou and other places... Your Majesty!"

The Marquis of Jingxi was promoted to Duke of Wei, and Prince Shaobao was promoted to Shaobao.

More importantly, the commander-in-chief of the military in Tubo and other places was changed to the commander-in-chief of the military in Tubo, Yizhou and other places.

Luo Ning knew it well.Chongzhen's intention was very obvious, which was to give himself an opportunity to intervene in Yizhou and help the court put down the rebels.

It can be seen that, let alone whether the emperor is relieved of himself, at least in the emperor's view, he is worthy of reuse now.

The title of Duke Wei is actually very particular.

Luoning is from Yizhou, and his sphere of influence is also in Yizhou Xifan.It stands to reason that even if one is granted the title of Duke, the most suitable one is the Duke of Shu.

However, Chongzhen did not give him the title of Duke of Shu, but made him Duke of Wei.

This Weiguo is obviously not the ancient Weiguo in the Central Plains, but means protecting the country.

Chongzhen hoped that he, the Duke of Wei, could protect Daxia's family and country and be a loyal minister.

At the same time, the emperor was worried and hoped that he would bring the ghost soldiers back to Xifan and not stay in Yangzhou.

"I accept the order! Thank you for your grace!" Luo Ning was eager, how could he resist the order?

Cai Ji presented the imperial edict to Luo Ning with both hands and said with a forced smile:
"Brother Zhiyuan, from now on, you are the king of the country. Congratulations, congratulations."

I never imagined in my wildest dreams that Luo Ning would become the Duke of the country.

A few years ago, he was looking down at Luo Ning.But now, he can only look up to Luo Ning.

It's really unpredictable, and good luck tricks people.

My sister doesn't know how much she regrets now, her heart is broken with regret, and she can't calm down when she mentions Luo Ning.

Fortunately, after I became a Jinshi in high school a few years ago, I "didn't forget the friendship between the poor and the humble" and at least maintained the friendship on the surface.

Otherwise, he himself will regret it to death.

Luo Ning smiled and said: "How can I compare to Brother Xuan Shu, Jian Zai Zai Xin? Brother Xuan Shu is going to be promoted again, right?"

Cai Ji nodded, "I'm still in your glory. I made great contributions to destroying the country and opening up the frontier. The emperor thought that I was your best friend, so he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War and Governor of the Northern Army."

"Governor of the Northern Army?" Luo Ning frowned, "Brother Xuan Shu has no military experience, but he goes to oversee military affairs in the north, so be careful."

Cai Ji smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to go either. But now that the border generals are becoming more and more domineering, Your Majesty is worried. Without trusted ministers to serve in the army, who knows what those Qiu Ba can do."

At this point, he immediately stopped talking, feeling that his words were inappropriate.

Because Luo Ning is also considered a military commander at this time.

Lu Pianpian, who was not far away, couldn't help but sneer.

Does Cai Xuanshu have military talents?In fact, there are still some.

She knew that after Cai Xuanshu arrived at the Northern Army, he slowly stabilized the morale of the army and gradually gained the recognition of the generals.

A few years later, he was promoted to the governor of Sanguan and stabilized the northern defense line.

In a few years, he was promoted to the military commander of Jizhou, Yanzhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou, and the minister of economics and strategy.

He once commanded a million troops in Beizhen and became the world-famous Cai Jinglue.

At that time, both the emperor and Xia Ting had high hopes for Cai Jinglue.The emperor called him sir but not his name.

However, this hard-working and loyal Mr. Cai, after being defeated and captured by the Jin army, shaved his head and paid gold, and became Huang Taiji's loyal minister.

Of course, these things have not happened yet, and they are probably unlikely to happen in the future, so Lu Pianpian is too lazy to pay attention to them.

Does it matter to her whether Cai Xuanshu is a loyal minister or a treacherous minister?
She wished she could make Xia Ting feel disgusted.Cai Ji said a few words and then mentioned ghost soldiers.

"Brother Zhiyuan, do you have any plans for these more than 3 ghost soldiers?"

He very much hoped that Luo Ning would take the initiative to hand over the military power of more than 3 ghost soldiers.However, he would not make this request.

Luo Ning sneered in his heart and said: "How to arrange it? Of course we will bring back the Western Fan, fight against the Tubo in the west, fight against the Jin Kingdom in the north, pacify the rebels in the east, and defend against the Southern Zhao in the south."

"Without these tens of thousands of ghost soldiers, it will be difficult for Xi Fan to protect itself. Can it still defend the border for the imperial court and His Majesty?"

"Brother Xuan Shu, I still need Brother Xuan Shu to report all this hard work to Your Majesty."

"Of course, brother Zhiyuan, don't worry." Cai Ji forced a smile, "Although I am in the government, now I rely on brother Zhiyuan as a foreign aid. I will lose both."

"However. Although Brother Zhiyuan is loyal to Daxia, he has led the emperor's will to annihilate the Japanese country, and has made great achievements in the world, but as the saying goes, the words of the people make gold, but the bones are destroyed."

"There is nothing that cannot be said by those courtiers with ulterior motives and short-sightedness in the court."

"Others are fine, but there is one thing that I have to remind Brother Zhiyuan."

Luoning Pili Yangqiu smiled, "Oh? Brother Xuan Shu, please speak freely. I'm all ears."

Cai Ji looked thoughtful, "Many people say that you destroyed the Japanese country, gained the Japanese treasure house, made a huge fortune, and are richer than His Majesty..."

"Ha!" Luo Ning gritted his teeth, "That's because they are jealous. Brother Xuan Shu, don't worry, I have sealed all the gains from the Japanese country and handed them over to Brother Xuan Shu to take back to the court and present to His Majesty."

He and Lu Pianpian had already prepared 3000 million resources to deal with Chongzhen.

That's right, he made a huge fortune of more than one billion, which was worth a year's tax revenue during the heyday of Great Xia.

But how could it be dedicated to the imperial court?He is not stupid, nor is he really loyal.

However, after making a fortune of more than one billion, I still have to think about it.

Just use 3000 million resources to deal with the court, just to coax Chongzhen.

When Cai Ji heard Luo Ning's words, he immediately looked happy, "Brother Zhiyuan is really loyal to the country and his will is pure. I admire him very much."

But Luo Ning took out a booklet and said, "Brother Xuan Shu, these are the resources that I got in Japan. Almost all of them are here. This is my loyalty to Your Majesty."

Cai Ji took the book and looked at it, and his smile suddenly froze.

Only 3000 million?
3000 million is a lot less?In fact, quite a few.The entire net worth of many high-ranking officials is not that much.

Daxia's annual treasury revenue is now only [-] million.

3000 million, nearly half of last year’s treasury revenue, almost as much as a state’s tax revenue, of course a lot.

But the problem is, this is the seizure of the country.

No matter how good the Japanese country is, they can still plunder hundreds of millions of resources. 3000 million, I’m afraid not even [-]% of it will be available!

Luo Ning has at least hundreds of millions of resources, and is definitely rich as a country, but he only spends 3000 million to perfunctory the court!
When it comes to how loyal Luo Ning is, Cai Ji is the first one not to believe it.

Unfortunately, Cai Ji couldn't break this window!

He could only hold his nose and admit that it was 3000 million.

Similarly, Chongzhen and the imperial court could only pretend to have only 3000 million.

Cai Ji was depressed at this time. Why wasn't Luo Ning depressed?

3000 million, just give it to the court.

If it weren't for the overall situation, if it weren't for the sake of preventing the doomsday from coming, would I have made a fool of myself with you?

You didn't do anything, but you got 3000 million, and you also got a Yingzhou. Isn't it the emperor and the court who made the biggest profit?

Cai Ji could only nod his head and said: "Zhiyuan is interested. His Majesty hopes that you will go to Chang'an to meet with the Holy Spirit to declare your duties. Are you willing to go there?"

When he said this, he felt very bitter in his heart.

Nowadays, the court can only try to appease Luo Ning and cannot force anything.

Even if he goes to Beijing to meet the saint, Luo Ning needs his own consent.

In short, Luoning, the leader of the Western Fandom with a mysterious background, cannot be forced to rebel.

This is the ruthless man who destroyed the Japanese country!
Sure enough, Luo Ning apologized and said: "Well, I heard that Western Fan is unstable and Tubo is about to make a move. I rushed back from Yingzhou to return to Western Fan to stabilize the overall situation."

"If I go to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit, won't I miss important court events?"

What a joke, how dare he go to Chang'an?What if you get detained?
The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall!He has a family and a career, and he has not yet completed a major event, so how can he stumble forward?

Cai Ji smiled bitterly and said: "That's true. Your Majesty has also considered it. In this way, Brother Zhiyuan doesn't have to go to Chang'an and can just return west."

Luo Ning smiled and said: "My dear brother, my heart is like an arrow. I can only go to Chang'an to meet the Holy Spirit again in the future. Brother Xuan Shu, you and I say goodbye."

Of course, he was just making fun of this little thing, and was making excuses.

Lu Pianpian said that Cai Ji was defeated and paid gold to help the Jin people destroy Xia, which also made Luo Ning feel disdain for Cai Ji.

Cai Ji didn't want to talk to Luo Ning anymore. He didn't like the pressure Luo Ning put on him.

But before leaving, he still revealed it like a ghost: "Brother Zhiyuan, Quan'er, Quan'er, she..."

His expression was very bitter, with an unspeakable meaning.

Luo Ning smiled slightly, "What's wrong with your sister?"

Cai Ji sighed, "Brothers, I'm not afraid of your jokes. Quan'er was divorced by Uncle Wenchang, and she is no longer in Uncle Wenchang's house."

"Oh?" Luo Ning's expression was indifferent, and his heart was not touched. He asked perfunctorily: "Why is this?"

Cai Ji's face turned gloomy, "The previous Wen Changbo Zhang Tao was actually a fake! Can you believe it?"

"It turns out he is a monster! He is not the real Wen Changbo at all! But this monster has been pretending to be Zhang Tao for nearly a hundred years!"

"Not only did he commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, he also deceived the people of the world."

"After the real Zhang Tao exposed him, he was arrested and imprisoned by the Xiuyi Mansion and died in prison. Do you know what his true identity is? It's a bug!"

"Zhang Tao takes back his identity, restores the title of Earl of Wenchang, immediately divorces all the wives and concubines married by the monster, and drives them out of the Earl's Mansion!"

This incident spread throughout the government and the public, and Cai Ji was deeply ashamed.If the emperor hadn't favored him, he would have been implicated this time.

After all, he was once recommended by the monster pretending to be Wen Changbo.

What made Cai Ji even more ashamed was that his sister actually worked as a concubine for an insect monster, and she thought she could fly to a high branch.

Luo Ning was not surprised at all when he heard this.

As early as a year ago, Wenchang Bo Zhang Tao told himself that he was going to Chang'an to plan to restore his identity and expose Ruo Shen who was pretending to be him.

I don’t know what connections Zhang Tao used to find his identity.

"Is this happening?" Luo Ning pretended to be surprised, "But how was it exposed that the monster had been pretending to be Wen Changbo for nearly a hundred years?"

Cai Jidao: "I'm not sure about this. In short, I got help from Yan Shenggong. This cannot be wrong. Wen Changbo has indeed been impersonated for nearly a hundred years."

"Monsters deserve to die, they do a lot of harm to people."

Luo Ning sneered in his heart.The monster is pretending to be Wen Changbo, and he has not apologized to you Cai Xuanshu, right?
Without the monster's strong recommendation and help, can you be favored by the emperor and become a new member of the imperial court?
People in the world can call monsters, but you, Cai, are not qualified!
Cai Ji didn't want to mention this matter anymore, so he changed the topic and said, "Quan'er has returned to Tuo County, Emei County."

"She was worried that if she followed me, it would hinder my career. So she insisted on staying alone in her hometown."

"My brother apologized to you for what happened in the past."

"Zhiyuan, we grew up together...Oh, forget it, I'm leaving. Take care along the way. See you later."

After Cai Ji said this, he was too embarrassed to say anything more and could only say goodbye.

"Brother Xuan Shu, I'll see you soon, take care of yourself along the way." Luo Ning also said goodbye.

It wasn't until Cai Ji's figure disappeared that Lu Pianpian's voice came gloating:
"Women are most afraid of the word snobbery. If I had known this, why would I do it in the first place?"

PS: Xinfan passed away in July, I feel so sad.
