my unparalleled way

Chapter 1296 Special Candidate

To be honest, to take down a country as big as Qianlan, of course Yue Luoning, the king of Yue, had to come and preside over the situation in person.

Although the ministers of the Yue Dynasty had already received the battle report, they still couldn't believe it was true.

Many people feel like a dream, after all, the process is too fast, and the rewards are too great.This makes them feel a little at a loss, not knowing how to deal with it.

Yue Luoning could see all of this. She knew very well that although the Yue Kingdom was already strong after receiving the help of Jianzong and Shifanglou, the officials of the Yue Kingdom were not used to treating themselves as the masters of a powerful country yet.

In their bones, they still have the mentality of a small country and a small people.

But now they are like beggars who got a windfall overnight, and they don't know how to face the sudden wealth.

This kind of mentality is of course very bad, Yue Luoning can only hope that time will turn around a little bit.

She knew that not only the ministers in the palace, but also the people of Yue Kingdom.

And during this time, she herself was also busy with another important matter, which was the negotiation with Qingchuan.

The persuasion of Qingchuan to surrender was not smooth, after all, it was a country not much smaller than Yue Kingdom.It is impossible for them to give up resistance and surrender directly.

However, with the emergence of Shifanglou in the Qianlan War, coupled with the rapid demise of Qianlan, Qingchuan's monarchs and ministers could not but consider this proposal no matter how unwilling they were.

For example, Nan Qi can count on Zixing's assistance, who can Qingchuan count on? They are surrounded by the Moon Kingdom to the west, the Tianhe River to the north, Qingyue Forest to the south, and the sea to the east. There is no chance of seeking outside assistance at all.

If he resisted, Qingchuan would be baptized by the flames of war, and it would be impossible to stop the advance of Yue Guo soldiers.That's okay, the key point is that these ministers were probably assassinated before the country was subjugated.

Moreover, although resistance and surrender are both subjugation, even if they survive in the end, the status they get may be different.

What a huge thing it is to take over a country, and Yue Luoning had to preside over it himself.To put it bluntly, this is actually a war, but it just happened at the negotiating table.

Therefore, in the end, except for the Prime Minister Yang Yu and more than a hundred high-ranking officials who went to Qianlan to help Lin Si, there were only a large number of middle- and lower-level officials.

However, before these people left, Yue Luoning added another person, and that was Tang Xiaozhi.

Tang Xiaozhi was Yue Luoning's assistant, helping her read the memorial files, giving her opinions, and occasionally helping to draft orders.Although this position is similar to that of a clerk and does not have much discretionary power, after all, he is the person who accompanies the king every day, and he is actually another form of prime minister.

Because she already had experience in the Northern Territory fiefdom, she is now very comfortable in this position.

As for the court ministers, even the Queen Yue Luoning accepted it, so naturally not many people objected to her as a female official.After all, Tang Xiaozhi has another identity, which is Lin Si's wife.

Tang Xiaozhi's ability is already worthy of the position of Imperial Commander, who would go out and talk to Yue Luoning to dismiss her, and then make Lin Si and Yue Luoning unhappy at the same time?Isn't that just looking for trouble?
But this time, Yue Luoning asked her to go to Ganlan to help Lin Si handle government affairs, which surprised her.

Originally, Tang Xiaozhi thought that she would not let her go. After all, Yue Luoning was good in many ways, but there was one thing that was very harsh, that is, she didn't want Lin and Tang to indulge in their children's affair.

In Yue Luoning's eyes, Lin Si and Tang Xiaozhi are extremely important generals and subjects of the Yue Kingdom. She doesn't want to see these two people put their minds on those insignificant things, always thinking about pleasure and love, so that they can't Dedicated to the imperial court and Yueguo wholeheartedly.

She is very clear that although these two people are talented, they are both people with no ambitions.The reason why Lin Si is able to be what he is today, apart from his natural cultivation and command talent, is that the greater reason is that the external pressure and danger force him to work hard.

Back then when Mu Zheping, Nie He and others were all around, the fiefdom in the north was already strong enough, but because the situation seemed comfortable at that time, there was no danger, so he didn't want to do anything, he just planned to hang around the fief and wait for death up.

If it wasn't for a series of changes later, he might still be a happy prince in that fief, and he wouldn't even think about taking the initiative to do anything.

Now, although he has taken the initiative to take over the banner of foreign expansion, it seems ambitious, but that is only because the surrounding countries have invaded and dealt with the Yue Kingdom in the past, and the pressure from the Xuanluo Continent forced him to quickly promote the Yue Kingdom. Just power.

To put it bluntly, he didn't suddenly become very ambitious, he was just taking revenge and guarding against the more powerful enemies on the Xuanluo Continent like a Jianghu person.

Yue Luoning understood her younger brother very well, and she also had a thorough understanding of Tang Xiaozhi.

She has never complained about letting her be the imperial order, and she has always been conscientious and never slack off. However, she did this only because she felt that she should try her best to help her man, and try not to hold him back.

Deep down in their hearts, she and Lin Si were looking forward to ending all the wars as soon as possible, then throwing away the burden on their shoulders, and living a small life of staying together and flying together.

If it was possible to change people, then Yue Luoning would never use Lin Si and Tang Xiaozhi, two people who were not enterprising in their bones. Even if they were very talented, what Yue Kingdom needed now was expansion and diligence, and what it needed was ambition.

What's more, people like her are extremely disgusted with that kind of temperament and attitude.If other courtiers made any hidden gestures in front of her that they didn't like worldly affairs, she would never hesitate to withdraw them directly.

Unfortunately, these two cannot be replaced at all.

Regardless of his status, strength or ability to lead troops, Lin Si is an indispensable figure in the Yue Kingdom.Besides Tang Xiaozhi, she couldn't trust anyone else as imperial orders.

That being the case, the only way to force them into what you want.Anyway, for a king, the most important talent is to be able to employ people, isn't he good at controlling courtiers?
Lin Si and Tang Xiaozhi have special identities, and she has no way to directly force them. The method she chooses is very simple, which is to separate the two people.

In her opinion, as long as these two people stay together, it is easy to wear down each other's will.

Let Lin Si fight outside, and then tie Tang Xiaozhi by his side, so that after the two are separated, they can fully exert their talents and serve Yueguo without distraction.

Tang Xiaozhi's mind is so alert, she actually knows exactly what Yue Luoning is thinking.

There is nothing she can do about it, and there are still many battles to be fought in the Yue Kingdom. Lin Si and Bing Yun are both fighting on the front line, so of course she must help them build a rear as stable as possible.

For this reason, although she saw Yue Luoning's intentions, she never complained.

Sending someone to do the blue this time, I am not an indispensable candidate.With Lin Si in charge of the overall situation there, after Prime Minister Yang Yu and others went, it was enough to help him sort out the situation.

But Yue Luoning chose her own name, which made her a little puzzled.

"Why did you send me this time?" Before leaving, she finally couldn't help asking this question directly in the palace study.

Although she and Yue Luoning are divided into ministers and kings, perhaps because they once disliked each other, and Mingcheng has worked together for so long, the way of getting along has not changed much.

If the Moon King was Yueshan, then Tang Xiaozhi would be trembling, not daring to take a breath, but if it were Yue Luoning, she would not be in awe at all.

In her mind, Yue Luoning has no majesty at all, and she has nothing to be afraid of. She doesn't need to have any scruples when speaking, and she doesn't need to care too much about her feelings.

In this regard, even Lin Si would not be able to achieve her level.

"Why, you don't want to go? Then I'll change someone." Yue Luoning replied without raising her head.

Although she knew that Yue Luoning was deliberately playing tricks on herself, Tang Xiaozhi waved her hands quickly: "No, no, I'm just asking. As the Moon King, how can you change the order?"

As for Yue Luoning's temper, she could feel it very clearly.If she says whatever you want, then she will really change her.

"You wonder why I want you two to be separated, but why did I let you meet this time?" Yue Luoning put down the pen and paper in her hand, squinted her eyes with interest, and looked Tang Xiaozhi up and down.

"That's right, haven't you always been uneasy? Why did you change your sex this time?" Tang Xiaozhi muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Yue Luoning's face darkened, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly became solemn.

She is a cultivator in Yuan Realm, although Tang Xiaozhi's voice is low, she can't hide it from her.

If other ministers spoke to her like this, she would be furious, after all, it was a frivolous speech that despised the king.

But Tang Xiaozhi was obviously used to it, she just covered her mouth in frustration: "Oh, have you heard it again?"

This woman must have done it on purpose!
Yue Luoning gritted her teeth, although she was used to Tang Xiaozhi's way of getting along, and even felt that it was a good thing to have such an outspoken courtier by her side who dared to offend her.

But why is this woman so hateful sometimes?

"The reason why I let you go is very simple. His military exploits this time are too outstanding. I can still increase officials and reward gold, silver and property for others. But he has already been an extremely powerful minister. There is no reward at all. I sent you to reward him."

She glanced at Tang Xiaozhi lightly, and added as if deliberately annoyed her: "You are just something I use to reward meritorious ministers, why don't you thank me?"

Tang Xiaozhi glanced at her angrily and amusedly. It was obviously something that made both herself and Lin Si happy. Why did it sound so ugly when she said it?

"Then I'll thank Your Majesty, and I'll go home and pack my bags if I have nothing to do." She bent down without any respect, and was about to leave here immediately.

"slow!"

Yue Luoning's voice came from behind, and Tang Xiaozhi knew very well that her real intention was probably what she was going to say next.

"You and him are husband and wife, you..."

"What are we?"

"Cough!" Yue Luoning showed an embarrassing look that hesitated to speak for the first time, but in the end she forced herself to continue speaking: "There are three ways to be unfilial, and having no offspring is the greatest, so you should take care of yourself."

Tang Xiaozhi opened her mouth, wondering if she heard it wrong.But Yue Luoning had already quickly sat back at the desk, as if she had thrown herself into the government affairs in front of her in an instant.
