Dao fruit.

When it comes to background and origin, many of the officials in the court have family backgrounds.

At the beginning, the family confronted Qiu Yan, and both sides tore their skins apart. In the end, Qiu Yan won, which caused the family's power in the court to shrink and decline rapidly, but it was impossible to eradicate it.

With the passage of time, the power of the aristocratic family is also slowly recovering, but I am used to Qiu Yan's dominance of everything, even those who are not from the aristocratic family, once they step into the officialdom, they will have some intersections with each other, let alone many Groups and circles formed by the same year and fellow villagers.

All these circles are intertwined to correct mistakes. Qiu Yan can suppress it for a while, but it is impossible to suppress it for a lifetime. Besides, he didn't intend to really suppress it. The reason why he suppressed the aristocratic family at the beginning was to establish authority. Being able to command and manipulate others to achieve their goals, with the changes of officials, the flow of official energy, the twisting of dragon veins, and the change of luck, what is manifested on the surface is the impact of government policies on the lives of the people.

According to the normal trajectory, after these interest circles are restored, they will start to challenge the existing power structure and pose a threat to Qiu Yan again. An upgrade that has not been seen in years.

Therefore, when the aristocratic family and other interest groups regained their stability, the first thing they faced was actually foreign enemies.

When dealing with Zhizhou's invasion that day, there was no need to be persecuted by the ancestors of the family. Most of them would tend to Qiu Yan's side beforehand, and then they realized the power of mechanism creation.

If the new army hadn't been dispatched in time, Donghua's military strategists would have gained the upper hand. Given the previous series of defeats, some people would inevitably have strange thoughts. Even the compensation was used, which can be said to have given Darui enough face.Many people in the court are also honored. When looking at Qiu Yan, they also feel that it is not a bad thing to have such a fierce god in the court.

This kind of mentality quickly spread in the court and infected many people. Many people looked at Qiu Yan cheerfully and listened to Tian Zhizhou's reaction when he said it.

It was because Tianzhizhou showed a fierce and domineering look at the beginning, which made them tremble with fear.It is a strong enemy, so now that the strong enemy is subdued, it will give them a strange pleasure.

At this time, Qiu Yan told the details of the contract one by one.

Li Yan and the princes in the Zhengshitang had obtained some of these detailed rules a long time ago, and now that they are speaking out, they are actually for the officials in the Golden Temple.

All the censors were listening with pricked ears, trying to find some omissions.It's good to criticize, but in Qiu Yan's words, the law is strict, just like a man governing an army, and he will not give others a loophole.

Not only that.The many words that were said, on the contrary, aroused the approval of many civil and military officials in the hall——

"...According to the agreement, once Tianzhizhou withdraws, all 72 overseas islands will be given up."

"Actually, this time it's not just a compensation. Strictly speaking, Zhizhou also ceded the land that day..." Suddenly.Another whispered.

Immediately, someone on the side was dissatisfied and said: "Ceded the land? What kind of land? This Tianzhizhou is originally from outside, and it occupies the land of Darui. If you withdraw now, how can it be regarded as a ceded land? Liu Shilang, I know you have intentions recently. If you want to rely on Marquis Ding, you don't have to forcefully rely on him for your credit."

The man frowned earlier, not angry, but smiled slightly, showing good self-cultivation: "Zheng Shilang, you have misunderstood, the soil I mentioned is the island on the sea, the 72 islands on the sea. In the past, there were no official officials on the island, let alone any restrictions, but now the Marquis of Dingguo has brought such a contract."

Another official on the side said: "It's not bad to say that, the islands in the sea were not actually brought down by our soldiers, but by those heretics. Speaking of which, how these people were recruited by the Marquis Dingguo is also true. Curious."

……

These voices were circulated among the officials, and it was not until Qiu Yan finished talking about the results of the peace talks that they calmed down a bit.

Then, Qiu Yan talked about the next few plans, which were related to the organization's workshop and sending more troops to Zhutuolan for training.

For the former item, both civil and military are keen-eyed, knowing that a lot of real money is involved in it. If you can get a share, the benefits will be endless. Shi came forward and expressed his opposition.

Regarding these objections, Qiu Yan just glanced at them and did not respond. Instead, he said to Li Yan who was sitting on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, apart from agreeing on these things, I have another matter to listen to from Tian Zhizhou." Bring it up." When he spoke, he looked solemn.

There was a heavy charm in his voice, and when he said this, it spread throughout the entire Golden Luan Palace, and it filled everyone in an instant, shocking people's hearts, even those who were still whispering couldn't help but stop talking and listen intently.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Yan felt a sense of solemnity from Qiu Yan, and his heart sank.

"This news is about Tianwai." Qiu Yan said, paused for a moment, and followed suit, "According to Tian Zhizhou, the Buzhou where our Darui is located seems to hide some kind of secret treasure, and the news has spread all over the world. The starry sky, that's why Tianzhizhou and the Linjia clan are attracted."

"What?" Wen and Wu in the court hall were stunned when they heard it, because of the peculiar rhythm, Qiu Yan's words touched them deeply.

In contrast, Emperor Li Yan remained calm, but this was also the news that he had already learned about the promotion of Buzhou and the gathering of all parties from Qiu Yan, so it was not surprising.

Qiu Yan said again: "The records of people from beyond the sky have existed since ancient times, but they are all fragmentary, many of which are close to legends, and ordinary people have no way of knowing, but people from beyond the sky have poured in one after another in the past two years, even Not only one place, Tian Zhizhou and the Scaled Armor Clan are clearly from both sides, but they are fighting on our Donghua land, it can already be seen that they are attracted by something, and they are trying their best to snatch it."

When the officials heard it, they thought about it carefully, and felt that this statement was indeed true, not to mention that among the hundreds of officials, those with deep backgrounds had already known something through some channels, so they couldn't help but feel worried.

"In the face of an invading enemy, how can we passively defend?" Qiu Yan changed the subject at this time, "Not to mention, our battle with Tianzhizhou has stopped now, but the scales are watching fiercely, crossing the border in Jiannan from time to time , can’t be tolerated, it just so happens that Tianzhizhou is going to fight the Scaled Armor Clan, they are the main force, and it will be beneficial for us to send troops by the side.”

The people in the hall are all smart people, so Qiu Yan understood everything without being more transparent.

Sure enough, the voice of opposition became much smaller afterwards, but naturally it would not be eliminated.

After the court meeting, everything was as before, but Qiu Yan's words still stirred up many waves after all, the undercurrent became more and more turbulent, and everyone had something in their hearts.

"Master, why did you bring this up so early?" In the Qiu Mansion, Qiu An also asked with some doubts.

At the court meeting, although Qiu Yan used the name of the secret treasure to explain the motives of Tianzhizhou and the Linjia clan, but in this way, many people were able to arouse the same hatred, but it may also cause strange things Thought, that's why Qiu An had this question.

"I know your worries. People's hearts are changeable, the most difficult to measure, and difficult to control. Their minds and thoughts are easy to guide when they just erupt, but once they last for a long time, even the person who first instigated them can't control them. , will inevitably lose control." When Qiu Yan was speaking, he raised his hand and tapped lightly on the table.

"I'm spreading the news now. Under the surprise and fear of all the officials, most of them will fight against the enemy, but once it lasts for a long time, they will inevitably have other thoughts. At that time, not to mention the hatred against the enemy, it will not be easy to coordinate the mobilization, but... "

Having said that, he raised his eyes and looked out the window.

It was already night, and I could see a bright moon through the window.

"Now, this time will not be longer, because someone is coming..."

While speaking, the bright moon reflected in his eyes suddenly burst into light, and a star that was originally dim was suddenly brightened.

………………

Stars are all over the starry sky, and there are many near Donghua, among which there are many dim stars, but there is such a star, which was originally brilliant, but suddenly dimmed a few years ago, and gradually moved away from Buzhou, it seems that it will be in the vast starry sky get lost.

But suddenly, the star burst into light again, accompanied by a great will.

"After going through a lot, I finally came back. This Donghua Buzhou is my Shinto fiefdom, and now it is about to be upgraded. How can I participate without me?"

The brilliance of the stars became more and more brilliant, and the light seemed to penetrate the space and spread to an extremely far place, illuminating a corner of the starry sky, where two figures came together.

A man's robe flutters, his black hair flutters, his eyes twinkle like stars, and above these two eyes, there is a vertical eye between the foreheads, and the third eye is surrounded by stars. At first glance, it looks like a Miniature starry sky.

He walked slowly, step by step on the starlight, as if he was stepping on the ground, his body was rippling with divine light, but after the divine light spread out, it entangled with another figure, forming a five-color halo.

Inside the five-color halo, there are five completely different artistic conceptions, derived from the mysteries of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The brilliance is combined with the Taoist robe, and it changes on the second person.

A voice intertwined with the old and the young came out of his mouth: "Chimu, you may be able to reap all the merits when you come back this time. Those Tianjun characters who came here have not yet broken through the cage. Of course, it is They have come out, and you and I don’t need to be afraid.”

The three-eyed man smiled lightly and said, "I hope I can respond to your auspicious words, Patriarch of the Five Elements." (To be continued...)
