Zongman: Became the owner of Uesugi at the beginning

"It's getting late, and it's time for Ma Yin to make dinner. Let's go to bed early after eating." Xia Ge said with a smile, it is difficult to help the other party make great progress in a few days, the main thing is to let her understand the gap, Having the goal of climbing is a good thing for those looking for strength.

Night, bedroom.

Shager lay on the bed and said woodenly: "The last house was not as strong as imagined, even though it was made of stone. But the smart big bad wolf learned to use tools, and he used the principle of leverage to pry open the stone door and break in." go in."

Ma Yin lay beside him, the oil lamp on the bedside table was emitting an orange light, she opened a page of a picture book made for her by someone, in which the big bad wolf looked at the three little pigs in the corner with its teeth and claws.

Xia Ge continued: "The big bad wolf first pierced the neck of a piglet with its sharp claws, then knocked down the other one by sweeping its tail, and finally swallowed the remaining one with its bloody mouth. So the big bad wolf lived a happy winter."

Ma Yin turned to the last page, the big bad wolf dove occupied the magpie's nest, behind him was a row of bacon, he looked boredly at the snowflakes outside the window, the whole article reflected the loneliness after being rich.

"Some content is too bloody, so skip it. The story ends here. Go back to your room and sleep." Xia Ge impatiently began to chase people away.

"Thank you master, see you tomorrow." Ma Yin has no dissatisfaction, as long as the story is finished, she jumped off the bed and left.

Xia Ge continued to write his Northland Prosperity Plan after she left. The excellent construction mentioned in [Prosperity] may require deeper reforms in addition to a certain degree of land scope. Smudged over the Northland.

The next morning, it was very late in winter in the Northland, Esdeth woke up from sleep, and walked into the familiar bathroom to wash up.

After this vacation is over, it is estimated that it will be difficult to come back for a long time in the future. Usually, after going to the imperial capital to report on work, you need to stay for a period of time, and if there is a war, you may have to be dispatched. This is necessary for the local generals to develop to a certain extent. In order to prevent the army from only recognizing the general but not the empire, the troops under his command need to be rotated when necessary.

But she didn't worry about this, because her elder brother was the Grand Duke of the Northland, and she could even keep the army under her command, even if she didn't go to the imperial capital.But in this way, it is destined to only accept protection, and hunters are not used to relying on others.

After washing up and putting on the imperial white uniform, Esdeth went out to look for Shag. The white boots made a slight creaking sound when they stepped on the floor. This kind of boots were used to cope with the ice and snow environment of the Northland. Of course, Mainly because she likes it.

In the kitchen on the first floor, Ma Yin was still cooking breakfast cheerfully, Esdeth despised her a little with a sense of superiority, and then went straight into the garden.

"By the way, when are you going to leave?" Xia Ge asked furiously as he watched the person put away.

"Three days later..." Esdes replied. He was supposed to be on vacation for half a month, but it took a lot of time to go back and forth.

On the open space next to it is a row of large boxes, which have reached a very high level of stability through the processing of words and alchemy.

"Inside is a kind of explosive, the power and method of use I remember telling you before, a small gift."

Xia Ge said with a smile that the quantity is about half of the inventory.But this thing is only useful for ambush to him, there is no real shot from the front.

"Hmm..." Esdeth's face was a little strange, and it would probably be a scene of destruction when he attacked the city in the future.

"Stay for a few more days, and I'll take you there when the time comes." Xia Ge suggested that it would be too hasty to stay for three days for a vacation.

Estes asked suspiciously: "Isn't it still going to take time?"

She knew that Xia Ge was very fast, but she couldn't run to the frontier with her behind her back. If someone saw him, the Grand Duke of the Northland would become a joke.

"Fly over there when the time comes." After Xiager finished speaking, two huge and ferocious bone wings appeared behind him. Exquisite and mysterious patterns appeared faintly on the pitch-black bones, and the whole had a strange aesthetic feeling.

Esdeth's body instinctively became alert in an instant. She had hunted countless dangerous species.But it was the first time I felt such a terrifying aura.In comparison, the super dangerous species that I encountered by chance before seemed so gentle.

"Is there a price for using this power?" Estes asked, she didn't care what the other party was, anyway, she must have very little contact with people.

"No, but you will get hungry after flying for a long time." Xia Ge answered after thinking for a while.

"Heh..." Estes sneered, this is showing off, definitely, thanks to the fact that she was still a little worried just now.

Chapter 110 Nine

1024 in the imperial calendar.

This year, the rebel forces in the south became more and more fierce. They turned a deaf ear to the two counties that had already been captured, and instead retreated back into the wild.

Two years ago, the newly promoted General Esdes, the most powerful in the empire, was ordered to crusade against the alien races in the Northwest. With the precedent of the Southwest War, no one doubted whether she would succeed.

At the beginning of the year, an organization called Night Raid suddenly appeared in the imperial capital. They assassinated high-ranking officials and nobles, and distributed the stolen money to civilians.

This year, a young man with outstanding martial arts broke into the imperial capital, dreaming of becoming a general to improve the poor and backward villages.

In the same year, the emperor summoned the Grand Duke of the Northland, Xia Ge-Balust, to Beijing, and gave him a special gift:

Going forward but not trending.

Praise the nameless.

The sword is on the temple.

……

As the heart of a millennium empire, the imperial capital is unparalleled in the world in its prosperity and bustle, with straight and wide roads and complex drainage systems underground.

Even though the aristocrats of the imperial capital were known to be tyrannical, there were still many shops and vendors on the roadside. Given the huge population, the deeds of the nobles became rumors that only existed in whispers.

The imperial city stood tall in the center of the imperial capital, like a sharp sword hanging above the head, and the majesty of the emperor was on everyone who tried to raise their heads.

Today is the Grand Court Meeting, and it is also the day when the Grand Duke of the Northland enters the capital. It is rare for all departments of the empire to really function.

But like a clockwork that has not been maintained for a long time, it will rust. Many officials have served for several years, only to find that they don't even know who they are handing over to.

In front of the palace hall, all the officials trotted forward, neither too fast nor too slow.Not only must the emperor feel the respect of his courtiers, but he must also maintain his dignity as an imperial official at all times. Any coughing, spitting, or disordered appearance will be recorded and waited to be reported.

In the main hall, elegant stone pillars support the roof of the veranda. Under a main crest and four vertical crests, gilded beams and rafters connect the stone pillars. In the middle, under the moon beam, the emperor's seat is at the head, and behind it is a screen with dyed teeth, and the pattern of back characters on it is beautiful and elegant.

The distant bell rang, and the internal servants began to roll their names against the dawn. At this time, there was finally a problem with the process. Many official positions were taken concurrently, and some people were paid but did not have specific positions.

But fortunately, no one is pursuing these things now, and the little emperor can't recognize all his subjects, so everyone gave each other a look, and then entered the arena in an orderly manner according to their secret ranks.

General Budde walked in the forefront, looking back and frowning at a little secret official walking in front of the imperial court, just because he was the legitimate son of a certain court marquis, he said slightly angrily: "Your father can't come out because of illness. Didn't even teach you etiquette?"

The young secret officer was stunned for a moment, then bowed with a sneer, said nothing, and silently retreated behind the crowd. The ranks of officials were also confused for a moment, and then rearranged, barely letting Bude relax his brows. .

Bude has a sturdy body and short dark yellow hair. His face is firm and solemn, his eyes are steady, and his whole body reveals a staid majesty. He is the owner of Tegu Thunder God's Wrath-Admiral, the armor-shaped Teigu Provided him with the power to manipulate thunder and lightning. Facing the only third strongest in the empire, the secret officer did not feel wronged by his regress.

But no matter how respectful it is, anyone with a good eye can see that the minister is the real master of the court.

Ever since the brother and sister stood beside Ornest, Bude seemed powerless to protect those conscientious civil servants.

In the main hall, the little emperor sat on the big chair with a serious face and looked at the civil and military officials who came in. The minister Ernest stood at the lower right, eating a piece of animal meat.

Seeing this, Bude was silent for a few seconds, then went to his place and closed his eyes to meditate.

It is against the rules for Ernest to enter the palace without being called. As a foreign minister, this alone is enough for him to be dismissed and detained in the past, but now the imperial power has plummeted, and the little emperor did not realize the consequences The danger is at hand.

Bude can only hope that the little emperor can recognize right and wrong when he grows up. He and Ornest are old, and there will be a day when he will really come to court.

The family precepts that he has been instilled since childhood made Bud loyal to the imperial power and the empire.But he was not as pedantic as he imagined, and he was not involved in internal affairs, and it was just a last resort, all because of Ornest's Teigu.

Yin Reston, a gem-type Teigu, can destroy the Teigu held by the enemy at the cost of breaking gems.And it only takes a week to restore the function and use it again.

Bud's Admiral was an important reliance for him to suppress the empire.Once Teigu is damaged, he will lose the strongest deterrent force of the empire. Esdeth conquers the northwest, Xiagar-Balust rules the north, and Bud acts as the pillar of the center.

Once it collapses, the south of the empire will instantly be filled with gunpowder.Whether the siblings were truly loyal to the Empire is unknown.

And before the rise of the two, he was the only pressing stone.

Although Bude's current behavior can be regarded as a slow death.But he still has hope, the little emperor may not be able to become a wise king in the future, with that supreme power, the imperial power will have the final guarantee.

It only takes ten years.

Bud closed his eyes and said to himself.

After all the officials arrived and saluted, the officials of Jiaoyi Temple should be the first to go out and report to the little emperor the people who left and entered the capital. These people were prepared in the mansion the day before, and if the emperor wanted to summon them, they would enter the palace If you don't see the audience, you can leave on your own after saluting outside. Usually, important envoys from other countries will definitely have the opportunity to enter the palace.

But today's situation is special, and the routine report has been postponed.

"Xuan, Grand Duke Balust, enter the audience."

The main gates of the imperial city and the imperial palace were opened, and the left and right gates for civil and military walks were tightly closed. A dark red figure gradually approached, with ten strings of beads hanging down from the crown, and a beautiful sheathless long knife hanging from his waist.

He walked very slowly, but everyone waited patiently, because the other party had the privilege of staying in court.

After a while, the man walked into the main hall and stood still in front of the imperial throne. Under the bead curtain, the handsome face of the other party could be vaguely seen.

"Sir, Shager-Balust, see my emperor."

There were several whispers among the ministers, and even Ernest stopped eating meat and turned his head in astonishment. Bud clenched his fists, ready to rush forward at all times.

The man just stood there and looked at the little emperor quietly.

"Aiqing is free of courtesy." The little emperor was a little at a loss, even though the other party had a series of privileges.But as a courtier, you should at least bow your head and hold your fists together.

Xia Ge nodded slightly, then turned around and walked straight into the queue on the right.

The little emperor pursed his lips, and the feeling of anger began to rise continuously.

"It's really domineering. Are you just defending the Northland for the empire like this?" Hornest yelled, throwing the beast meat to the ground.

"I'm a barbarian from the north, and I don't know how to be polite." Xia Ge said with a slight bow.

Ornest suddenly said: "Your Majesty is loyal to the country, so it is understandable that you don't have time to learn these details."

"Extremely so."

The little emperor nodded secretly, so that's the case, he said that the barbarians in the north should not be too demanding, and judging from the relationship between Xia Ge and Ernest, the words of those rebellious officials and thieves in the past should also be alarmist.

Bude's face was extremely ugly, this kind of clumsy trick could not even fool the children in the market, and those two people dared to fool the emperor as a fool.

"Come on, drive him out."

"Come here, give my Grand Duke Jiuxi."

The little emperor and Bud said in unison.

The little emperor frowned, he didn't think Jiuxi was a precious object, and could even be described as boring.

But since the courtiers seem to like it, it is better to give Balust a share to show his generosity, and the minister questioned Xia Ge for his own majesty, so as not to hurt the harmony between the two in the end.As a wise monarch, it is the proper meaning to ease the atmosphere.

But Bude, who didn't know it, thought he was the emperor, and dared to give orders on his behalf in the court.

The little emperor glanced at Bude. He didn't want to take too much aim at the general who had also served as Gu Ming during the former emperor's time, but it always became more and more distasteful.

"Come here, give me Jiuxi."

Bud lowered his head firmly.

Chapter 120

Xia Ge accepted the emperor's nine tins with a smile. Of course, these things would not be given to him on the spot, but someone would send them to his mansion in the imperial capital.

[Frenzied Feast] was completed at that moment just now, including the completion of [Thriving], half of the ceremony was successfully completed.

The second thing to do at the Grand Court Meeting was to report on the situation at the border. A gray-haired middle-aged man came out.

"Sir, under the command of General Esdes, Liwa, see my emperor." Liwa bowed his head and saluted.
