I'm really not a Daoist!

Chapter 188 I am not a phase, but a photo!
After the news that Li Xiuning ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Jiuzhan Magpie Nest in Nanliang spread throughout the nine states, it did not cause an uproar. The people did not care at all about who became emperor.

At present, the Three Kingdoms have only been established for a short period of time, and the people's sense of belonging is not yet that strong. Instead of worrying about who will be the emperor, it is better to worry about this year's harvest.

On the surface, the noble clan members looked down on Li Xiuning's operation of occupying the magpie's nest, but secretly they had already tilted their clan's resources towards Li Tang and Nanliang.

According to their predictions, Li Xiuning's proclaiming himself emperor is only the first step. The next step will definitely be the merger of Li Tang and Nanliang. After receiving the support of Nanliang Fang and the entire Xiao family in the city, Nan Qi Fang alone cannot hold the throne. To avoid the pressure brought by Li Xiuning and Li Tang.

In as short as one or two years, as long as three to five years, Li Tang and Nan Liang will definitely merge into one country.

Zhou Zuo sat on the sidelines and did not participate in these secret undercurrents, and there was no need to participate.

At present, the Great Zhou Dynasty has only been established for half a year, and it still needs a lot of time to accumulate strength. The current Great Zhou Dynasty must take stability as the first consideration.

As long as there is enough time, Dazhou is not afraid of Nanliang and Li Tang at all. Even Nanliang and Li Tang after the merger are useless. In front of the Yellow Turban warriors, everything is like a chicken and a dog.

The resources required to train the Yellow Turban warriors are very huge. Previously, only five hundred soldiers were supported by the whole country.

Now Dazhou needs more time and more resources to support more Yellow Turban warriors. As long as the Yellow Turban warriors exceed [-], it is no problem to kill through Nanliang and Li Tang under the leadership of Yu Juluo.

The current situation seems to be very unfavorable for Da Zhou, but in fact, this period of time is the most suitable for Da Zhou's development.

Li Xiuning had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and Nanliang still needed to stabilize the people's hearts. Moreover, the military power of Nanliang was still in the hands of Nanqi Fang. Even if Li Xiuning wanted to take back the military power, it would take a long time.

The people in Nan Qifang are not fools. Military power is their guarantee. The two sides have been entangled with each other for enough time for Zhou Qinhe to develop.

On this day, Ji Bofu quietly came to the palace and handed the seeds of Lingya rice to Xiao Yu.

Ji Bofu said: "This is Lingya rice. You are from a noble family and have heard what Lingya rice is. You can find someone to plant the seeds for the officials of Zhou Dynasty to eat. The excess can be sold to other countries to make a profit." Take resources to support the army!”

Xiao Yu looked excitedly at the Lingya rice seeds piled up throughout the palace and was so excited that he could not speak. In ancient times, Lingya rice was just an ordinary spiritual seed, only for those who had just entered the cultivation threshold for a hundred days. Rice eaten for foundation building.

But in this era, Lingya rice is no longer available except for some wealthy households. Who can imagine that rice that was eaten by people who were new to spiritual practice in ancient times would become so precious today?
Ji Bofu gently patted Xiao Yu's shoulder and said: "Pindao didn't take it out before because it was not suitable for large-scale planting of spiritual bud rice except in places where the vitality of heaven and earth is strong. But now the vitality of heaven and earth is getting stronger." Even compared with the ancient times, it is not much different, so Pindao only took it out now."

"You must find people you trust to plant it. If you can't recruit a large number of people you trust, you can go to the general. After all, their army will eat it after it is planted, so it is right to let them provide some people."

After saying that, Ji Bofu quietly returned to the manor.

Not long after Ji Bofu left the palace, Changsun Wuji, Ling Jing, and Wei Zheng hurriedly entered the palace.

Not long after, a merchant quietly appeared in Dazhou, Taiping Merchant!

After Li Xiuning ascended the throne in Nanliang, the world seemed to have truly stabilized. The three countries were developing vigorously, and even the small-scale frictions at the borders were gone.

Three years flew by in the blink of an eye.

In the past three years, Ji Bofu has lived in seclusion. Except for going to the palace three years ago to deliver spiritual sprouts to Xiao Yu, he has never appeared in front of the public.

In the past three years, apart from resting in Queen Xiao's room at night, he practiced in the worship courtyard.

In the past three years, the national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been greatly improved, and the Golden Dragon of Fortune in the Great Zhou Dynasty has become more and more powerful, entrenched above the palace like an ancient dragon god and wiping out all evil spirits.

The emperor's martial arts relied on luck to practice. The stronger the Great Zhou Dynasty, the more empress Xiao's cultivation became more and more advanced. Last year, empress Xiao's cultivation had successfully broken through to the Martial Saint.

Moreover, after breaking through the Martial Saint, Queen Xiao's cultivation seemed to have no barriers and was still improving at a terrifying speed.

Ji Bofu didn't know how many times he had sighed in the past three years, but every day when he saw Queen Xiao's increasingly sophisticated cultivation, he still kept sighing, "It's so scary."

At this moment, he finally understood why Zhou Dynasty was able to dominate the world and suppress the princes of the world.

Based on the founding environment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if the emperors after Wu Wang Jifa were a pig sitting in that position for a long time, they could become a sacred pig.

The emperor's martial arts is so terrifying! !
It is worth mentioning that Yu Juluo also had a breakthrough in his cultivation. After Yu Juluo made the breakthrough, he came to him for a drink excitedly. After the two of them got drunk, Yu Juluo had to pull him to show him. At that time, Yu Juluo had to pull him to show him. Kura almost sent him away with a punch.

His own cultivation has also made great breakthroughs in the past three years, but there is still a long way to go to temper all the scum in the Yin God, and it is still a long way to go! !

A blazing sun hangs in the blue sky, and the golden sunshine shines on your body, which makes you feel extremely warm.

“I haven’t felt such warm sunshine in a long time!!”

Ji Bofu looked up at the sky, and the eternally burning sun seemed to never go out.

"The four seasons have been abnormal in the past three years. It seems that the return of the God of Four Seasons is not far away!!"

He had been waiting for the so-called prosperous age for three years, but until now he had not waited for the so-called 'prosperous age'.

The scene of the gods returning and the monsters attacking Kyushu has been played out countless times in his mind, so he has never slackened on his cultivation in the past three years.

Three years can change a lot of things. For example, he has grown from the handsome young man to the handsome Taoist priest he is now.

Suddenly, Ji Bofu looked towards the south. The strong murderous aura dyed the sky with blood, and the blood-red sky was still approaching the north step by step.

On the official road outside Zhuojun City, a cavalryman covered in pitch-black armor rode a horse on the official road and rushed toward Zhuojun City quickly.

The horses neighed leaving little blood stains on the official road.

The cavalry rode all the way to the palace. The female officers and guards along the way made way for them after seeing the triangular flags planted on the cavalry.

"Report to Zuo Pushe, Nanliang knocks at the pass, Chunling, Huai'an, Xiangcheng and other counties have all fallen into the hands of Nanliang. Now the Nanliang army has approached Luoyang City. Wang Shichong sent a message willing to help our people during the Great Week. Dazhou sent troops to assist Luoyang City!!"

After saying this, the cavalryman suddenly fell to the ground.

Changsun Wuji waved his hand, and the female officer brought down the little flag officer who had been running thousands of miles.

Ling Jing walked in. In recent years, his gentle and elegant temperament had become a bit gloomy due to the fact that he was in charge of Dazhou's intelligence agency. The little flag officer wearing black armor just now was his unique messenger.

Ling Jing said coldly: "Nanliang Li Xiuning has completely captured Nanqi Fang. Li Xiuning goes north to attack Luoyang City, and then uses Luoyang City as a bridgehead to look at Zhuojun in the distance."

"Li Tang took Li Yuanji as the commander and Li Yuanba as the vanguard. Now General Luo Yi is leading an army to confront Li Yuanji in Diaoyin."

Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji looked at each other. They didn't panic at all. The alliance between Nanliang and Li Tang had been expected for a long time, and this day would come sooner or later.

A cold light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes and he said: "Then let's fight. After three years of cultivation, our army in Dazhou is far from the army of the past. With three years of spiritual rice support, my Dazhou army will be able to fight every day." Every soldier has the courage that no man can match!!"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "Of course we have to fight, but how to fight still needs to be discussed."

Wei Zheng glanced at Changsun Wuji speechlessly and said, "Do we have a say in how we fight? Whether we fight or not depends on how the general wants to fight?"

Changsun Wuji hesitated and said quietly: "Wei Zheng, do you think that I will be arrogant enough to command a general to fight? What I want to do is to discuss with the general to see what kind of reserve resources the general needs. We Just support it at the back and that’s it.”

Ling Jing said in a hoarse voice: "I got a piece of news here, and I need a few people to help analyze it!"

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "What news?"

Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng also looked over. Ling Jing had his own think tank for analyzing intelligence since he took charge of Dazhou's intelligence agency. It was rare for them to analyze a piece of intelligence together.

Most of the time, Ling Jing's side has already analyzed the information and drawn one or more conclusions for everyone to look at together.

Ling Jing had a sinister smile on his face and said: "I have received reliable information that this time the two countries attacked Zhou Dynasty was decided by Li Yuan, but what is somewhat surprising is that Li Yuan only announced the order in the court and then retreated. He stayed behind the scenes and left everything to Li Jiancheng to do."

"Three years ago, it would have been nothing, but in the past three years, the overt and covert fight between Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng has been on the table. Not only the people in Li Tang know about this matter, but also the people in Nanliang and our Zhou Dynasty know about it. I know that Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng don’t get along.”

"So why did Li Yuan leave this matter to Li Jiancheng under such overwhelming circumstances?"

"You must know that Li Yuan has been firmly holding the military power since he married Li Xiuning to Nanliang. Li Jiancheng tried many ways but failed to get the military power. How could Li Yuan be so willing to give all the military power to Li Jiancheng now?"

"You must know that it is easy to put down military power, but it is extremely difficult to take it back."

"Although the matter of defeating Zhou is important, it is far less important than Li Yuan's stabilizing his position, so I would like to ask three people to help me analyze it. Is there something going on within Li Tang?"

Xiao Yu: "Li Yuan will die soon?"

Wei Zheng: "Did the father and son resolve the conflict?" Changsun Wuji: "Li Jiancheng took action against Li Yuan?"

As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Xiao Yu and the other three looked at Changsun Wuji. Xiao Yu's eyes widened and he took a step back.

Changsun Wuji sighed deeply when he saw this and said, "Brother Xiao, what do you mean?"

Xiao Yu looked at Changsun Wuji warily and said, "What the three of us said just now was completely the first thought that came to our minds subconsciously after hearing Ling Jing's information."

"Both Wei Zheng and I are fine. Why did you suddenly think of Li Jiancheng taking action against Li Yuan?"

"Brother Zhangsun, although the Three Kingdoms War is currently in troubled times, the people in the Three Kingdoms have become many times better than before the Sui Dynasty. The world is still very beautiful now. You should take a closer look at the beauty of this world. !!”

Ling Jing's mouth twitched and he silently took a step back.

Wei Zheng glanced at Xiao Yu with a strange expression and then stood together with Ling Jing.

"I"

Changsun Wuji sighed: "Brother Xiao, you have misunderstood. I say this because I know Li Yuan and his son better than you, so I came to this conclusion!"

The alertness on Xiao Yu's face dissipated and was replaced by concern, "Brother Zhangsun, I also understand Li Yuan and his son. Li Yuan and I have been old friends for many years."

What he meant was that what Changsun Wuji said was untenable.

"Are you a little too tired recently?"

"Is there anything going on at home recently?"

Ling Jing glanced at Wei Zheng: Has Xiao Yu always been like this?

Wei Zheng glanced back: This person's brain is not normal. He has talent but is not normal. He likes to do embarrassing things to liven up the atmosphere!
After the two made eye contact, Ling Jing nodded silently to indicate that he understood, and then looked at Changsun Wuji with a sad look.

Brother Changsun, you are suffering from such a thing every day! !

Changsun Wuji noticed Ling Jing's gaze, returned a helpless look, and said earnestly to Xiao Yu: "Brother Xiao, now is not the time to talk about my family affairs. We should focus on why Li Yuan lives in seclusion behind the scenes." Let’s get on with things!”

Xiao Yu coughed slightly and said with a natural expression: "Then please tell me, brother Zhangsun, why you think Li Jiancheng attacked Li Yuan?"

Changsun Wuji turned to look at Ling Jing and said, "Brother Ling, you are in charge of bad guys. How is Li Yuan's physical condition based on past intelligence?"

The bad guy is the name of the intelligence agency run by Ling Jing. This name was given by Queen Xiao herself when Xiao Yu went to the manor to report to Queen Xiao.

The information about Li Yuan in Ling Jing's mind was instantly recalled, "Li Yuan's health has always been good. Before he founded the country and became emperor, he himself was a great master. A great master can live for two decades without illness or disaster. Although In the past few years, the luck of the dynasty has wiped out all his cultivation, but his body is still much stronger than ordinary people, and it is still possible to live to the end of his life without illness or disaster."

A look of enlightenment flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes, and he said: "Li Yuan takes power very seriously. He will not allow anyone to touch his authority. The only situation when he allows others to touch his authority is He no longer has the power to hold on to his authority.”

"Logically speaking, Li Yuan's strong body would not allow Li Jiancheng to touch the power in his hands, but now Li Jiancheng has taken the general power in his hands."

"The real situation is that there is something wrong with Li Yuan's health and he has to hand over the power!!"

"There is only one person in Li Tang who has the ability and reason to cause Li Yuan's physical problems."

Wei Zheng said: "Li Jiancheng!"

"That's right!" Changsun Wuji nodded: "Everyone has seen the overt and covert fight between Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng in the past three years. Now it seems that this fight has ended with Li Jiancheng's victory."

Xiao Yu frowned and his IQ went up again, "Don't spend too much energy on this matter. Whether Li Jiancheng seizes power or not has no meaning to us."

"Now that Li Yuan has retreated behind the scenes, it doesn't matter to us even if he comes to the front again. The important thing is Li Tang, not Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng and his son."

"Both Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng will send troops to our Great Zhou Dynasty, so it doesn't matter whether Li Yuan is in power or Li Jiancheng is in power. We can just keep paying attention to this matter but we don't need to expend too much energy and strength to explore what's going on inside."

At this point, Xiao Yu suddenly said to Ling Jing: "Ling Jing, if you can, let your men Fang Feng go out and say that Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng and his son have turned against each other."

"Write more secrets about the imperial city and send them out. Although this matter will not have any impact on us, it does not prevent us from adding insult to injury. Anyway, we will write it with a mixture of truth and lies."

“Write a part that’s not outrageous and then write a part that’s outrageous!!”

As soon as these words came out, Ling Jing and others took a deep breath.

Changsun Wuji's eyes widened even more. Who just said that I have a dark heart?
Wei Zheng silently leaned in the direction of Changsun Wuji. Although he sometimes disliked Changsun Wuji's behavior, at the moment, Changsun Wuji seemed to be more upright and upright.

Ling Jing looked like he was smiling but not crying, and he said with a strange expression: "Brother Xiao is right, why didn't I think of this method before? This time, don't you think I will suppress the reputation of the Li Tang royal family?" Into the dirt!!”

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "I learned this from the Taoist Priest before. Unfortunately, he didn't teach me anymore when I went to ask for advice. However, I still thought of many methods from it."

"Although these are some methods that cannot be put on the table, they are more than enough to discredit a person or a force!"

Ling Jing exclaimed: "This is not only a method that is not on the table, but also a method of killing people based on people's hearts. The results will not be seen in a short time, but after a long time, they will naturally become what everyone says."

Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, what the little Taoist priest said at that time was that although the person is still alive, in everyone's eyes this person is already dead!!"

Ling Jing left the Zichen Palace with a look of ecstasy, "Everyone, just watch, I will ask the novelist among my bad guys to write a book for the Li Tang royal family!!"

After Ling Jing left, the three of them made an appointment to discuss the dispatch of troops with the general tomorrow and then dispersed.

Late at night, Xiao Yu came to the foot of the mountain outside Zhuojun City. Looking at the top of the mountain shrouded in white mist, he felt a little dry. After finally climbing up the mountain and arriving at the manor, he looked at the road behind him and murmured to himself: " Why does it feel like it’s getting harder and harder to leave!!”

After entering the manor, he sat in the reception hall and drank tea. After a while, Queen Xiao came over.

What Queen Xiao saw was Xiao Yu who was sweating profusely and drinking tea. "Xiao Yu, you are too weak. You still need to pick up your own martial arts skills after you go back. I don't ask for it." You go into battle to kill the enemy, but at least you have to have a strong body."

Xiao Yu had a bitter look on his face. He could sit in the study all day if he was asked to study, but he couldn't hold on for even a quarter of an hour if he was asked to practice martial arts.

"Sister, why am I still practicing martial arts at my age?"

Queen Xiao frowned and said coldly: "I am older than you. Do you mean that my martial arts training is of no use? I am already a Martial Saint now!"

"You and I are both of the Xiao family's bloodline. Since I can become a Martial Saint, you can also successfully advance your cultivation to the Martial Saint realm."

Xiao Yu said with a look of reluctance: "Sister, when you are not dealing with government affairs, you are practicing martial arts all day long. Unlike you, I still have to deal with government affairs."

Queen Xiao's face became even colder, "You mean that my failure to handle government affairs will prevent you from becoming a Martial Saint? Besides, your political affairs chief Sun Wuji can also handle it!!"

Xiao Yu's face turned pale at first, then he sat up straight and said proudly: "Sister, not everyone can handle my government affairs. Everyone says I am a powerful prime minister, but I am not!!"

"I am not a phase, but a photo!!"

Queen Xiao's eyes turned cold and she squinted at the younger brother in front of her. This younger brother was rebellious and could not be kept!

Snapped!
Queen Xiao knocked Xiao Yu to the ground with a slap and said coldly: "Such a weak regent?"

Xiao Yu smiled, climbed up and said with a smile: "Practice, practice, I will start practicing martial arts tomorrow!!"

Queen Xiao glared at Xiao Yu before sitting on the chair with his help, "Tell me, is there anything you want to do to come to me so late?"

Xiao Yu sat down carefully, looked at Queen Xiao's face and said, "Sister, I'm a little unsure about something. I've been tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come to you and ask."

"Oh?" Queen Xiao's eyes lit up. In the past three years, her younger brother had almost never come to her to ask about government affairs. This made her sister feel a little uncontrollable.

As a sister, you must not only be able to suppress your younger brother with force, but you must also suppress your younger brother with talent, learning and political wisdom! !
Queen Xiao suppressed the excitement in her heart and said softly: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yu was slightly startled when he heard her sister's voice. There must be some deception in speaking so gently.

Empress Xiao looked at Xiao Yu who was still reluctant to speak and said impatiently: "Tell me quickly, what is going on!!"

Xiao Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, and the familiar feeling came back!
