Chapter 1631 The World Is Not Just for Qi

The wedding between Bowang Hou Shisun and the adopted daughter of Yi Xingchen, a court official, was a grand one.

It is the most eye-catching thing since the New Year of Qi.

As Luan Lang, Marquis Wu'an rarely practiced for a whole day. He was busy and accompanied the newlyweds to complete the wedding. In short, they worshiped the heaven and the earth, the high hall and the high hall, the husband and wife bowed to each other, and then they were sent to the bridal chamber.

Weddings of famous families such as Shuo Fangbo's Mansion and Bowang Hou's Mansion show the stability and prosperity of Qi State after it conquered Xia State. Both Bao Yi and Chongxuan Yunbo have been involved in the military and political circles of Qi for many years. Choosing to promote the wedding of their descendants at this time can also be regarded as a political statement.

Of course, under this big political premise, there are also complex causes within the two families.

And of course the world does not work together alone.

Not to mention that Chongxuan Sheng was forcibly taken to the mountains and forests for "special training" on the second day of his wedding. It is also not necessary to mention that Yi Huaimin, the second son of the Yi family, was attacked by a mysterious man on the second day of his wedding and was forced to copy a The Agama Sutra. The Metropolitan Inspection Office initially suspected that it was the work of the remnants of Kureiin, and stated that it would fully investigate, but so far no useful clues have been found...

Every corner of the world has its own story happening every moment.

For example, in the Snow Country in the arctic northwest, the months-long isolation has ended.

This mysterious country that has always kept aloof from the world and rarely communicated with the outside world, during this period, a new powerful true king emerged, calling himself the Winter Emperor!

The Winter Emperor's first battle after he passed the Yan Dao was to go to the mainland of the Jing Kingdom to challenge Zhong Jing, the Longwu Governor of the Jing Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Jing is a military empire composed of six guards and seven guards. The military leader is the king of the country, and he personally controls the upper guards and front guards among the six guards, as well as the Yulin Guards among the seven guards.

The Longwu Army is among the six guards and is the lower guard army.

The political significance of the battle between the Winter Emperor and Zhong Jing is far greater than the battle itself.

The outcome of the battle is unknown to outsiders.

But the westward expansion war of the Jing Kingdom against the Five Northwest Alliance came to an abrupt end after it occupied most of the Gao Kingdom and the smaller half of the Liao Kingdom.

It is said that the Snow Country cannot see swords hanging on the border. Due to the reason of the cold lips and teeth, taking advantage of the power of a new true king, they took a tough stance of not hesitate to join the Five Northwest Alliance to attack the Jing Kingdom, and finally stabilized the situation in the northwest.

It is also said that Jingguo secretly exerted influence after absorbing the harvest of Dasheng Muguo.

Of course, the Jing people themselves say - "Small punishments and big warnings are the blessings of the villain."

They said that they were not keen on war, but because of the increasingly arrogant and arrogant behavior of the Northwest Five Nations Alliance, they stepped forward to teach them some lessons based on their responsibility to maintain peace in the northwest.

Now that the purpose of the lesson has been achieved, they can retreat with peace of mind.

Jing State will stop here and will never suffer any loss. They took advantage of the westward expansion war launched by the Jingmu War and defeated the Five Nations Allied Forces to pieces. In the territory of the Northwest Five Nations Alliance, they almost completely wiped out a country.

And the cost is next to nothing.

Compared with Jingguo's loss of influence in the southern region, compared with the heavy losses suffered by Muguo when it was driven into the grasslands, compared with Qi State risking the destruction of the country and gambling on the national destiny with Jingguo... In this chaotic situation... , Jingguo can be said to be a harvest.

However, there is a new Yan Dao strongman in the Snow Kingdom, the Five Northwest Alliance has suffered heavy losses, and the Jing Kingdom is overwhelming the Northern Territory. The current situation in the northwest will definitely change.

During the next period of time, the northwest will never be peaceful. It all depends on the methods of various parties.

The reason why Jiang Wang, who is practicing Buddhism, is able to know these general trends in the world is because he has attended the court meeting with Qing Yu Liyang in the past two days.

Yu Liyang participated in the court meeting in order to represent the people of Xia Di and conduct some communication on the governance of Xia Di. Qi State's new occupation of Xia Land was seriously short of manpower, and it had not annexed the countries along the way. It was equivalent to managing an extremely wide enclave, and many problems would inevitably arise.

The methods used by Qi people to govern Qi and Yang are not necessarily feasible in Xia.

Even if the laws of Qi are imposed rashly, the people of Xia Di may not be able to accept it... After all, the customs and customs are different in different places.

Changing customs takes a long time.

At this time, there is no doubt about the importance of Yu Liyang. He could represent the demands of the people of Xia Di to the greatest extent and deal with various issues one by one with Qi Ting officials. At the same time, he can also make Qi Ting's decrees most efficiently implemented in Xia Di.

In the age of Shenwu, he was the pride of the Xia people. After the end of the Shenwu era, he became the political link between Qi and Xia.

And Jiang Wang, who never left the door and never took a step forward, was devoted to practicing cultivation. The reason why he participated in the court meeting... was purely because of the emperor's roll call.

One day the emperor looked around and said: "Where is the Marquis of Wu'an? Where is the Marquis of Champion? Isn't it important to worry about national affairs?"

The courtier could not answer.

The next day Jiang Wang and Chong Xuanzun came running to court.

Chong Xuanzun even rushed back from somewhere deep in the mountains and old forests. After attending court every day, he rolled up his sleeves and hurried back...

Jiang Wang sometimes goes to observe.

Observing the various confrontations and applications of heavy mystical techniques, and understanding the mysteries of Taoism, I felt very good.

The only regret is... Chong Xuan Sheng refused to accept the assistant coach.

Jiang Wang and Chong Xuanzun both have the qualifications to practice with the help of national power, but this qualification comes from their "nobles" rather than their "positions".

So in theory, they don't have to attend the court meeting at all. There is no specific work to do, and they have no intention of taking power. Your own power is everything.

Of course, the official way is the mainstream in this world, but for peerless geniuses like them, there is no need to ride a horse or a boat on the road they can take.

They really avoided it if they could.

Many people regarded it as a symbol of power, and they almost never participated in the court meeting that could influence the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

But the emperor had spoken, and they had to "stand guard".

After participating in the court meeting for a few days, the two newly promoted military meritorious marquises did not say a word, like clay sculptures and wooden sculptures, they practiced meditation, and people at that time called it "standing guard."

No one blamed them.

Even if they said nothing, the emperor was also happy to see them standing in the crowd.

The emperor once said to Jiang Rumo in private: "I saw Wu'an and Guanjun, and I recalled the young and handsome men in the past, like a spring breeze."

It can be seen that he liked them.

"The Mu Kingdom will hold a succession ceremony for the high priest of the Cangtu Temple on June 27th." Wen Yanyu, the doctor of the court meeting, was reporting: "The letter of state has been submitted to the Ministry of Rites, asking our country to go to watch the ceremony. I don't know who is the appropriate envoy, please decide."

Hearing this, Jiang Wang's mind had escaped from his practice.

This mission to Mu State was probably more than just a ceremony.

Because he was worried about Zhao Rucheng, he and Chong Xuansheng specifically talked about Mu State.

In the war last year, Cao Jie first took Liyuan City for Mu State, and then there was a full-scale war between Mu and Jing. Qi State also got the opportunity to conquer Xia State.

Qi State and Mu State had a tacit understanding.

In the chaos that just ended, the connection between the two countries must be more than what happened on the surface.

At the current time point, looking back on the battle between Mu and Jing, there are too many things that make people puzzled.

For example, where did the confidence of Mu State and Jing State to go to war come from?

Mu State planned for a long time and reached a tacit understanding with Qi State, so it marched south and trampled on the central region. Why did it lose so quickly and so miserably in such a long-prepared war?

It is true that war has infinite variables, and there are too many factors that determine victory or defeat.

In other words, as the strongest country in the world, Jingguo's strength is well known to the world, and history has verified it countless times. It is not surprising that Muguo was defeated - so why did it take the initiative to start this war?

Jingguo has been wielding a sword, and it has been rotten for many years, and it may be the time of decline; Shengguo is becoming more and more swollen and more threatened; the border friction between the North and Central Regions has been going on for a long time, and people's hearts are hard to suppress; Cangtu God urgently needs to open up new land... To be honest, Muguo may have too many reasons to go to war.

Each reason is enough to promote war.

But why now?

I have been patient for so many years, why choose not to be patient this time?

What exactly does the empress of Muguo think?

There must be some unknown reasons, and there must be some truth that must go to war, hidden under the magnificent water.

What is that?

"Marquis Wu'an?"

The voice of the emperor fell from the throne.

Jiang Wang bowed slightly: "I am here."

"It's you." The emperor said.

Jiang Wang was stunned.

But the emperor had already changed his words: "Marquis Cuicheng reported to Xia Ling for handling matters, and Doctor Wen should come up with a set of rules as soon as possible..."

He actually skipped the topic of the mission to Mu State and said no more.

Jiang Wang retreated half surprised and half confused, but no one explained anything to him.

This continued until the end of the court meeting.

Han Ling announced the adjournment of the court, and all officials dispersed one after another.

But Jiang Wang did not leave, but followed the imperial carriage all the way to Donghua Pavilion.

The emperor sat on the dragon chariot and turned his head, and asked with some amusement: "What are you following me for?"

Jiang Wang hurried forward two steps and said with a little worry: "Your Majesty asked me to go to Mu State as an envoy, don't you have any instructions?"

"Didn't I already give instructions? Just watch the ceremony."

That's it?

But looking at the emperor's appearance, it didn't seem like he was joking. Besides, there was no reason to joke about state affairs.

Jiang Wang thought that this should be an extremely difficult task.

He went on a mission with the imperial seal and went to the grassland. The tacit understanding between Qi and Mu, the alliances of the hegemonic countries, the layout and secrets that stirred up the world...

Is it really just a ceremony now?

"Haha." The Emperor of Qi looked at him with interest: "Do you think that I sent you to Mu to give them some support and help them do something? Or is there any earth-shattering plan for you to communicate and implement?"

"Uh..."

Jiang Wang really thought so. Otherwise, why did the emperor say nothing in the court?

Isn't this a matter of great importance that requires private disclosure of secrets?

That's why Lord Jiang didn't leave after the court meeting, and ran to the emperor without watching the reserved program of Chong Xuanzun beating Chong Xuansheng.

The embarrassment on his face has exposed everything.

The Emperor of Qi laughed loudly: "Jiang Wang, Jiang Wang, why do you think the hegemony is the hegemony? Do you think that Muguo is no good after losing a game? What kind of person do you think Helian Shanhai is? I dare not say that I can grasp her thoughts. Do you think that you can influence the situation in the Northern Territory by hanging the name of an envoy of Qi?"

Jiang Wang had given up struggling and did not want to be laughed at by the Emperor again, so he just said: "Oh."

The Emperor of Qi stopped laughing and finally restored some of the dignity of the Emperor. He said softly: "Bring a pair of ears and a pair of eyes, listen more, see more, come back and tell me what you heard and saw, and then you can..."

He looked at Jiang Wang and added: "If you are sure, you can also learn from the genius of Muguo."

Oh, learn.

If you said so earlier, wouldn't I understand it a long time ago?

Jiang Wang cursed a few times and responded gently: "I understand."

After saying this, he bowed: "I take my leave."

"Wait a minute." The emperor suddenly said again.

Jiang Wang was shocked. Could it be that the Emperor, like Master Guanyan, also has other minds? I didn’t curse anyone.

Then I heard the emperor say: "You are all here. Han Ling, you stay and test his "Mu Lue" to see how well he memorizes it. Otherwise, he will know nothing on the grassland and make people laugh."

Han Ling bowed and said, "What if Marquis Wu An can't recite it?"

"Then you have to supervise him to carry it before leaving. In addition..." The emperor pondered for a moment, and said briefly and forcefully: "Fine!"

Long Chai left without stopping.

Jiang Wang stood there blankly.

Linzi in May is a bit cold for some reason.

"Master Hou?"

Jiang Wang came back to his senses.

Han Ling, who was wearing a purple official uniform, had his hands in front of his sleeves and looked at him with a smile: "Should we carry it here, or should we change places?"

…

…

Jiang Wang's salary is now mainly three yuan. One is the salary of Marquis Wu'an plus three thousand households, and this one is the big head. One is a third-grade golden melon warrior and a third-grade green brand head catcher, because the former is only a false position, and the latter does not do anything serious in the inspection office, so his salary is not much. Another one is the tax revenue from the Qingyang Town fiefdom, and he can withdraw part of it regularly for his own use.

The sum of these three pieces is enough to make him live comfortably. Desheng Trading Company is still building a business, making more money and spending more money. Taixu Jiaolou's profits are all invested in it, so there is nothing to say.

In short, today he, Jiang, is also very wealthy. When going out for a banquet, as long as Brother Yan Xian is not present, it is not a problem to rush to pay the bill.

But when leaving Qi Wang's palace, Jiang Wang's steps were empty.

It's only May now, and his salary this year no longer belongs to him...

Han Ling, who killed a thousand swordsmen, didn't know when he was offended. The emperor only said a fine, but he didn't say that every wrong sentence would be punished.

Jiang Wang really wanted to ask him - "Does the Han official think my sword is disadvantageous?"

But after all, he couldn't beat him, so the only words he could say out of his mouth were - "Guan Han, please don't forget the friendship we had in the past."

Therefore, Han Neiguan did not detain him until next year.

"It's bad luck, bad luck."

They were almost out of Qi Wang Palace, and Jiang Wang was still sighing in his heart.

He couldn't help but said to Qiu Ji who was escorting him out: "Qiu Neiguan, you said that everyone is standing guard. Why is it that the errand of the envoy to the Mu Kingdom falls on me and not the champion?"

Qiu Ji said seriously: "I think it's because Marquis Wu'an's beauty and handsome face can better represent my great Qi Tianwei."

Jiang Wang was silent for a while, and said earnestly: "Qiu Neiguan, you have to work hard. If you push Han Neiguan down as soon as possible, you may be able to deduct less of my salary later."

Qiu Ji just smiled and said: "We will try our best."

At this point, he stopped and raised his eyes forward to indicate that someone was waiting.

The spiritual awareness of this eunuch Bingbi is extraordinary.

Jiang Wang's heart moved slightly, but he just looked forward calmly——

It was an old woman with silver hair, standing quietly outside the palace gate.

Seeing Jiang Wang looking over, he bowed and said, "Master Marquis, the Master of Palace Huaying would like to ask you to come over and have a talk."

We had a drink together a few days ago, why did you suddenly invite me tonight?

Jiang Wang looked up at the moonlight, and for some reason, he suddenly felt good.

He laughed: "I guess there is some good news."
