Heavenly Desolation Immortal Court

Chapter 153 Promotion to the Kingdom
Prince Tianhuang's palace, inside Chaotian Palace.

With the arrival of Deng Yuzhen, a peerless beauty, Qin Hengtian immediately stopped the fighting in the hall, and at the same time he was very excited to introduce Deng Yuzhen's latest identity to the court officials.

However, the term chief consultant is a name that appeared on the earth where he was in his previous life. People around asked for advice.

"Chief advisor...what is this for? Since when did our Tianhuang Principality have this official position?"
"I don't know, don't say that we are in the wild, even the entire Dongxuan Island seems to have never heard of it."
"My lord Li Jun, you are the minister of offering sacrifices to wine, and you are knowledgeable, and besides Qin Zhong and the elder Qin Zhong, you have been in the court for the longest time. Do you know what the official position of this chief consultant is?"
Minister Li Jun stroked the beard of his chin, nodded, and then said something, "Uh... Well, excuse me for being ignorant, I don't know much about it, but... as long as the lord says yes There must be, we only need to act in accordance with the will of the country, and we will definitely not go wrong!"
"This old man..."
The ministers were speechless for a while, you don't know where you have been pretending for so long, making everyone think you know, but you don't know, and you took the opportunity to flatter the king, it is really shameless, the most important thing What's more, you don't take everyone with you when you flatter.

In the end, it was Guan Zhong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, who stood up and asked proactively, "I have the courage to ask the lord, what is the official position of this chief adviser?"
"Oh... this consultant, she is the latest official position I have created, so it is understandable for you not to know." Qin Hengtian patted his forehead lightly, and suddenly realized, "The main right of a consultant is that when the country is facing major decisions You can offer advice and suggestions at any time, and you can also directly propose some national policies that are beneficial to the principality to the owner, which will not be under the control of any department, and will be directly responsible to the owner."
"That's it... I see, I'll see the chief advisor!" All the officials in the hall suddenly realized, and all bowed to Deng Yuzhen's location.

"Don't dare, Yuzhen is being polite here!" Deng Yuzhen quickly stood up from the chair, clasped his hands on his waist, bent slightly, and returned the salute.

Qin Hengtian nodded in satisfaction, and in a good mood he took the initiative to ask about state affairs, "Is there anything else you want to start?"
"Report to the lord, the cabinet has a memorial." Guan Zhong, the chief assistant of the principality, came out with a memorial, "This is the [-] talents who have passed the assessment in the last talent recruitment conference. Both talent and character are superior, so all the cabinet ministers and I agree that they are qualified for the post of city lord of each city."
"Submit it!" Qin Hengtian straightened his body, and after watching it for a while, he readily stamped the seal of the ruler, "Let's do it according to the cabinet's wishes."
Guan Zhong then mentioned the problem of shortage of manpower, "One more thing, this time Dongxuan Island is unified, the territory has expanded hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant, and there are thousands of cities. Our officials are short of manpower in a short period of time. Please give instructions. "
"Uh... this is a problem. The problem of manpower has always been a flaw." Qin Hengtian also felt troubled by this, and unconsciously tapped the dragon chair with his fingers.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Qin Hengtian asked the cabinet ministers consciously.

Guan Zhong said very cautiously, "Reporting to the Lord, we can select talented people from the original Chiyan Principality, Qianyu Principality and other forces to serve as the city lord. However, this appointment involves a lot, so the lord must personally Just order."
"It can be done according to what Shoufu said." Qin Hengtian thought for a moment, and then made a decision on the spot, "As long as they are truly talented people, regardless of their status, background, or poverty, the ruler of the country will accept them all. As long as they are If you can truly serve the country and the people, then you can be directly appointed as the city lord, and this matter will be arranged by the cabinet."
"Yes!" Guan Zhong, Changsun Wuji, Wang Anshi and others responded in unison.

"Hmm...Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Qiao Feng, Jia Xu." Qin Hengtian thought about it and thought it was better to be on the safe side, so he named four names.

Guo Jing, his wife, and Qiao Feng immediately walked out of the array of the enshrining house, bowed their hands together, "I'm waiting here, what orders does the lord have?"

"My humble servant sees the king." Jia Xu bowed slightly with a gloomy face as usual.

"You beggar gang is responsible for monitoring the newly appointed city lords. Anyone who takes advantage of his power to commit crimes will be sorted out and reported to Jia Xu." Qin Hengtian looked serious, and ordered very coldly, "Jia Xu, you are responsible for forming a team." Zhi Jinyiwei, you can choose all the people you want, and directly obey the orders of the country's lord, and for those officials who harm the people, I allow you Jinyiwei to kill first and then play!"

"No... yes!" The four agreed without hesitation.

Qin Hengtian felt relieved now, stood up and wanted to withdraw, "If nothing happens, then..."
All the officials in the court knew from his actions that he wanted to retreat from the court, which was fine, the most important thing had not been said yet.

So, before he could finish speaking, Li Jun, the minister of wine offerings who couldn't bear it any longer, came out slowly, prostrated himself on the ground, and said loudly, "Report to the lord, I have something important to report." !"
"Hey...do you have anything else to say?" Qin Hengtian took a deep breath and sat back on the dragon chair helplessly.

"Relying on the lord of the country, relying on the lord's wisdom and martial arts, Dongxuan was unified, Huoli Island belonged to our territory, and 30 miles of sea area was also opened up. This is a prosperous scene that never happens in ten thousand years. It is already comparable to the Dongxuan Kingdom ten thousand years ago. Already." Li Jun's face was flushed, and his emotions seemed very excited, "So, I implore the wise and mighty lord to promote my Principality of Tianhuang to the kingdom!"

"I implore the lord to be promoted to the kingdom!" Except for the Chinese sages who were summoned, most of the other court ministers knelt down on the ground and shouted in unison.

Venerable Chi Yan, Huo Li, Xuan Ling, and Venerable Lingjian looked at each other, nodded to each other involuntarily, then knelt down on one knee, and shouted respectfully, "We also implore the Lord to pray to the heavens!" , Promote Tianhuang Principality to Tianhuang Kingdom!"
To be promoted to the upper kingdom, and then he will be the king. At this moment, Qin Hengtian was really moved.

"My lord, do you really want to be promoted to the kingdom at this time?" Deng Yuzhen stood up in time at this moment, and said dismissively, "If this is the case, then I am too disappointed, and I will give it to a bumpkin lord of the land turtle kingdom. It's really embarrassing to be a chief consultant!"

Deng Yuzhen's words were very harsh, and he didn't save Qin Hengtian any face, and directly mocked him as a bumpkin of the Turtle Kingdom. As soon as these words came out, the officials were furious, and they scolded him angrily.

"Bold... Consultant Deng, what do you mean by this? You are openly insulting me and our king. What are your intentions!"

"Consultant Deng, please be careful..."
"Consultant Deng...you are presumptuous!"

But in the face of the censure of the ministers, Deng Yuzhen was completely indifferent, and just looked at Qin Hengtian with interest, waiting for him to express his opinion.

"Shut up!" Qin Hengtian frowned slightly, waved his big hand, calmly stopped the radical remarks of the officials, "Consultant Yuzhen, what did you mean just now?"

Deng Yuzhen's beautiful face was obviously surprised, "You are not angry, I have said that about you, and you are not angry?"
"If I were a stingy person, then my Tianhuang Kingdom would not rise step by step from a remote small country, let alone have the opportunity to become the strongest principality that unifies Dongxuan." Qin Hengtian said confidently, " Besides, I ask you Yuzhen to be the chief advisor of our country, just to hope that you can put forward some good suggestions when we are facing major national policies. Now you are exercising your due rights. Why should I Are you angry?"

"You... have to say, your attitude makes people feel very comfortable." Deng Yuzhen's red lips moved slightly, and she smiled sweetly, she is really more charming than Hua, "The reason why I said that just now is naturally because of me According to the evidence, Tianhuang's current promotion to the kingdom is a self-destructive foundation, and, in the eyes of outsiders, such a kingdom is a self-proclaimed land turtle kingdom, and the monarch is just a bumpkin."
The intelligent Zhang Liang thought for a while, came out and bent down slightly, and asked her humbly, "Dare to ask the advisor, are there any other considerations for being promoted to the kingdom?"

"That's right, it's too much to pay attention to." Deng Yuzhen said decisively, showing her erudite talents at this moment, "There are several basic requirements for being promoted to a kingdom, a vast territory, a dense population, a strong foundation, a profound The luck of the gods and the merits of heaven are indispensable, and the most important thing is to have the dragon veins!"

"The first is the territory. The kingdom must own a large island. This island can be occupied, or it can be extracted from many secret hearts or plane hearts, and build one by itself. The area of ​​each large island must exceed 300 million square kilometers."
"Population, each kingdom must have more than one billion people of the human race, followed by heritage, half of all the people must have reached the spiritual sea level, that is to say, at least more than [-] million people must have reached the spiritual sea level , there must be more than [-] venerable supernatural powers guarding the four directions, and there must be a false king sitting in the kingdom."
When Qin Hengtian heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt, "The false king? I know the half-step king, so what's the matter with this false king?"
"Oh... the king of hypocrites!" Deng Yuzhen was not annoyed when his speech was interrupted, but explained softly. "It is the existence of someone who has the strength of a king, but has not yet survived the catastrophe of the cave."

""They are generally the masters of the upper powers. The reason why they suppress their own strength is mainly because they want to take advantage of the monstrous national fortune and the power of Ziqi merit to become the three witness kings. Invincible, even cutting enemies across borders, can also use this to get the blessing of the human race's heavenly law! "

"Of course, there are also some who are not strong enough and dare not cross the catastrophe. They are afraid of falling in the catastrophe of the cave, so they forcibly suppress their own momentum and dare not attract the catastrophe of the king. There are not a few such people. In order to survive the catastrophe They will usually choose some powerful kingdoms or royal courts, and join them to enjoy the protection of merit and luck!"

"Understood, everything is to make myself stronger and live longer!" Qin Hengtian nodded in understanding, and then asked another puzzle in his heart, "Consultant Yuzhen, you continue to say , this luck and merit, I basically know that the country is prosperous and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. If you integrate some secret places and planes outside the big world into your country's territory, and perfect the avenue of the big world, you can If you get the merit of heaven, then what is the dragon vein?"

"Dragon veins, the veins of the earth, are the foundation of a kingdom. Only those who have obtained dragon veins are eligible to pray to heaven, sacrifice to heaven, and pray to be promoted to the kingdom." Deng Yuzhen arched his hands towards the sky with a serious expression, "Only by getting Only by obtaining the dragon veins can you get the approval of the human race's heaven, and all the forces in the world recognize that if any kingdom does not have the approval of the heaven, it is just a self-proclaimed land turtle kingdom."
"I understand. The current Tianhuang really doesn't have any of the conditions for being promoted to the kingdom." Qin Hengtian knocked on the dragon-carved jade chair subconsciously with his fingers, lowered his head and muttered to himself, "The current Tianhuang land area is only There are more than 100 million people, and there are barely [-] million subjects, but their cultivation is uneven, luck and merit are still very thin, the number of supernatural beings is not enough, and there is no false king sitting in the town, and most importantly, there is no Dragon Vein!"

Deng Yuzhen kindly reminded, "My lord, don't you still have five secret realms? They are large-scale secret realms. Each secret realm has more than 50 land, and the total is more than [-]. There are still a lot of land. The merits of heaven."
"Oh... that's right, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me." Qin Hengtian suddenly remembered, and patted his forehead, "After we retire, I have to trouble Yuzhen to choose with me, see See where it is most appropriate to integrate the five hearts of the secret realm into the principality."
"Okay!" Deng Yuzhen simply agreed.

"Hmm..." Qin Hengtian hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and asked softly, "How about Yuzhen, tell us about the strength of those upper kingdoms in the outer domain, so that we can I know, I know, how far is our Principality of Tianhuang compared with them?"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the court looked at Deng Yuzhen with expectant eyes, especially those cabinet ministers who were seeking knowledge, the eyes full of fighting spirit from the generals and many martial arts priests, she couldn't bear to refuse.

"Hmm... alright, but the outer domain is still too far away from you. Let me just talk about a newly promoted kingdom that I have seen when I was traveling in the Cangxuan domain." Deng Yuzhen considered his words and introduced slowly. Get up, "That is a principality that has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years. After thousands of years of accumulation, they have successfully occupied a large island of nearly 500 million square kilometers. There is an earth dragon vein, a dozen high-grade spirit veins, hundreds of middle-grade spiritual veins and nearly ten thousand low-grade spiritual veins."
"Their population has exceeded 15 billion, and most of them have cultivated above the Spirit Sea Realm. The country's luck has almost materialized, and the merits of purple qi have condensed like stars."
"They have an army of tens of millions, including a 3000-strong Holy Embryo Legion, 360 supernatural beings, and the king of the country, Tianxing Hero, who is about to pass the catastrophe. Your prince, that kingdom is also an extremely powerful force in the Cangxuan Domain, not even worse than some titled royal courts, and the name of the kingdom is Tianxing!"
"Hero of the Heavenly Star... the Heavenly Star Kingdom!" Qin Hengtian muttered to himself.

"The Heavenly Star Kingdom is so powerful..."
"Skystar...the kingdom...we are really inferior."
From time to time, longing whispers sounded in the hall.

"Report to the lord, Venerable Jubao is here to see you!" At this time, a guard outside the hall reported loudly, breaking the wonderful atmosphere inside the hall.
