Chapter 1279: Mountains and Rivers Are Safe

"To meet His Majesty together?"

"That's the only way."

...

The matter is too big, and it seems to have exceeded the control of the head of the Ministry of Rites. I can only go to the palace with me. Fortunately, the six departments are very close to the palace. The new emperor Xuanyuanli is reviewing memorials in the side hall. Feng Buwen assisted in political affairs together, but now Feng Buwen was crushed under Wenqiu Mountain, and it was already beyond his power.

"Re-designate the Mountain God?"

After listening to my description, Xuanyuanli looked shocked: "Brother, this matter is no small matter. For one thing, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to seal a mountain god, whether it is building temples or opening mountain roads, it will consume a lot of manpower. , Now that the empire is in ruins, I have mobilized a large number of reserve soldiers to reclaim wasteland and farmland on a large scale in Lingnan Province and Yunxi Province. If the mountains and rivers are sealed off and temples are built at this time, I am worried that the people will complain! "

"Things are prioritized."

I sat down in front of the new emperor, tapped the table with the back of my finger lightly, and said: "Eat a bite of food, the people will not starve to death, and the officials will not starve to death, but this thing I want to do must not be delayed, it should be sooner rather than later." Late."

Xuanyuan Li frowned: "What is brother planning?"

I breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just planning for the long-term peace of my human race. Maybe your majesty will trust me this time."

Xuanyuanli nodded: "Yes, the Ministers and Ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs are here. His Royal Highness Xiaoyao Wang can explain everything he wants to do, and then he will divide the work in detail and let them carry out it one by one."

"Well, thank you, Your Majesty."

I cupped my fists, stood up slowly, looked at a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and said with a smile, "Aren't you ready to write down the records?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

A group of people prepared their pens and inks, and then looked up at me together.

I pondered and said: "First of all, confirm the two main mountains, and confer the title of Lishan Mountain in the north of the empire as the new Beiyue Mountain of the empire, and the new Beiyue Mountain Lord Guan Yang. The old general fought all his life, and finally died fighting for the northern border. He is the righteous god of Beiyue, and he deserves his name. As for Nanyue, Luming Mountain in the southern border of the empire was granted Nanyue. god."

As I said that, I glanced at the two officials who were writing furiously, and said with a smile: "In addition, you must continue to select heroic spirits who are suitable to serve as mountain gods in the empire. Those local celebrities, loyal ministers and good generals are fine. Send someone to help them stabilize their souls, and make a ranking according to everyone's life, contribution, etc. I hope this list will be around 100-200 people, not too few, and I would rather choose to be useless in the end than not enough by then."

The people continued to write the records in the scrolls.

"Brother."

The new emperor Xuanyuanli frowned and said: "This list... Although our Xuanyuan Empire has many mountains and rivers, there are actually not many mountains that are worthy of conferring the gods of mountains and rivers, and conferring so many gods will consume a lot of the aura of mountains and rivers in the empire. Once the aura of mountains and rivers in the whole world becomes incomparably thinner, these gods alone will not help, and such a grand imperial conferment is neither emotional nor reasonable."

"I know."

I smiled slightly: "So don't worry, Your Majesty, what I was going to do is not a reasonable thing, but once it is done, maybe it can be done once and for all."

The new emperor looked solemn: "What is the elder brother planning? Can't you tell me?"

"At that time, I will naturally inform His Majesty. The less people know about this matter, the better. What does Your Majesty think?"

"Um."

Xuanyuanli nodded: "However, there is one more difficult matter. It has been more than a year since Lord Zhenyang died in battle in Longyu. I don't know if the soul of Lord Zhenyang has dispersed. Now, without the heroic spirit, Xin Beiyue can only be an empty shell, and Fu Yugong died in battle in the Xiangcheng area. The body has been buried, but the soul has not been collected. Someone from Nanlu Academy went to find it before Mu Tiancheng's remnant soul also wants to enshrine him as a god of mountains and waters. Whether it is a first-grade mountain god or a water god, as long as Fu Yugong nods, it is just a matter of my words. Unfortunately, Fu Yugong refused. He would rather wander in the Among the mountains in the southern border of the empire, look more at the mountains and rivers of his hometown, and know that the moment his soul is gone, he said that if he can die in battle, he will have no regrets in this life, but it is a pity that he can no longer kill the enemy."

I sat down quietly, my nose was a little sore, and I said, "Fu Yugong, you are really the backbone of the empire..."

The new emperor's eyes also turned red: "Brother, I'm sorry...I was the one who was bullied back then, otherwise Duke Fuyu would never have died in battle."

"The matter has come to this point, and regret is useless."

I took a deep breath and said, "Leave me the matter of restraining the souls of the two grand dukes, and I will personally go there to convince Fu Yugong. As for the important matter of sealing mountains and rivers, we have another important matter to come." Must do."

"oh?"

Xuanyuan Li was startled: "What else is there?"

I spread out the map of the southern continent, and moved my fingers lightly on it: "When our Xuanyuan Empire was guarding the Dragon Domain, how many countries in the south sent heavy reinforcements?"

"I'm afraid there is only Huang Longguo."

The new emperor frowned and said: "The rest of the dynasties are basically watching from the sidelines. Even when the strange demon army invaded the territory of the Daxiang Dynasty, except for our Xuanyuan clan and Huanglong Kingdom, the rest of the dynasties were still indifferent. , there is no intention of rushing to help at all, probably unless the strange demon army comes to their door, otherwise the sword will never be unsheathed."

"Fly camp dog dog, die is dead."

I tapped the territory of Huanglong Kingdom lightly, and said: "Your Majesty, immediately send envoys to Huanglong Kingdom. The envoys must have a high official rank, and persuade Huanglong Kingdom to move the whole country to the north. Let the envoys directly tell them to start moving north immediately." , The entire Huanglong Kingdom moved into the fertile soil in the west of the Xuanyuan Empire, and established a new country. Our Xuanyuan Empire will reclaim wasteland and build residences for them in advance.

"..."

Xindi was completely stunned.

"Ahem..."

Hubu Shangshu coughed and said, "Does His Royal Highness Xiaoyao know that Huanglong Kingdom has a population of 30 million? Is it such a big deal to move the whole country to the north? Moreover, our Xuanyuan Empire provides them with food, fields, houses, such things... ...enough to exhaust our national treasury and make our Xuanyuan Empire impoverished!"

"Huanglong Kingdom is our ally. When we are facing the danger of destroying the country, they will provide reinforcements with all their strength. So what if we exhaust the treasury?"

I frowned and said, "You don't have to tell me how powerful these are. I'm in charge of formulating the strategy. You two officials only need to be responsible for how to implement it. As for how to implement it and to what extent it is up to you, I only look at the last one." result."

"Yes, Your Highness."

A young servant of the household department said: "But Your Highness, have you ever thought about it? Even if our Xuanyuan Empire is willing to cede part of the territory of the western region and let Huanglong Kingdom re-establish the country, Huanglong Kingdom has lived in the southern jungle for thousands of years and has long been deeply rooted. We are willing, but Huanglong Kingdom is not willing to move the whole country to the north, so what can we do?"

"It's very simple."

I raised a finger and said with a smile: "Let the envoy tell the emperor and ministers of the Huanglong Kingdom directly that the southern continent will soon become a sea of ​​flames, and the territory of strange demons will capture every inch of land there, turning the human settlements into ruins. Turn those living people into puppets covered in plagues, and only the territory of the Xuanyuan Empire will be safe at that time, whether they are willing to move north is their business, but as long as they make a choice, they will bear all the consequences."

The new emperor Xuanyuanli smiled slightly, and said: "At that time, I will ask the envoy to add a sentence that it is King Xiaoyao's intention to let them move the whole country to the north. I believe that the young king of Huanglong Kingdom will make a wise choice."

"Um."

I smiled and nodded: "That's it. In short, these few things must be handled as the current national policy of the Xuanyuan Empire. Everything in hand can be put aside for a while, and these things can be done while farming and harvesting, otherwise If so, the Xuanyuan Empire is now facing a situation of being attacked by the north and the south, and once the strange demon army recovers, we will face the destruction of the country."

"good!"

The new emperor stood up and said, "Dear dears, since my brother has formulated the national policy, you should immediately convene the government office to discuss the matter. This matter will be handled from this moment on, and no one should delay. During this period, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Hubu Its authority is higher than that of the other four departments, you can dispatch them beyond the level, this is what I mean."

"Yes, Your Majesty is wise!"

...

When everyone was flattering and flattering, I had already crushed a scroll to return to the city and came directly to Longyu.

In the command hall, the seasons are like spring.

"I already know what you mean."

Senior Sister Yun got up from her chair and said with a smile, "I'm not very good at constricting the soul. I'm only good at destroying the soul with a sword. If you need someone to help, I can recommend the best person here."

I chuckled: "Let me guess, Uncle Lin Fengnian?"

"Exactly!"

Senior Sister Yun nodded and smiled slightly: "Master Lin Fengnian is already at the peak of immortality, and he is proficient in refining souls and sensing heroes in the world. You can go to him directly and ask him for help."

"Well, thank you, Senior Sister, I'll go find Senior Uncle Lin right now!"

Turning around and leaving the command hall, after "Peng" stepped into the Transformation Realm and transformed, he rushed to the front of Lin Fengnian's residence in Longgu at an incomparable speed before. Now he really feels like a master, and he feels a little proud in his heart. He said with a smile: "Uncle Lin Fengnian, you should have overheard the matter, let's go?"

"snort!"

The stone door opened, and Lin Fengnian, who was wearing a gray gown, actually had a sense of immortality. After this necromancer stepped into the peak of immortality, it seemed that he had really been reborn, and the breath of death on his body had been honed completely. Some of them just lost their fairy air, looked up at me, stared at me with dead fish eyes and said, "How do I get there?"

"Go to Yujian!"

I raised my hand and pointed, and the white star of the flying sword in Lingxu appeared in front of me. The body of the sword soared to a length of five meters. It was a piece of silvery light, and when Lin Fengnian and I jumped onto the back of the sword, it directly melted into one Hong Guang flew to Xiang City, where the Daxiang Dynasty and the Xuanyuan Empire bordered, where Fuyugong Mu Tiancheng died in battle.

...

In less than 20 minutes, we arrived at our destination.

Overlooking the land, there is a devastated scene after the great war, the entire Xiangcheng has been reduced to a piece of scorched earth, and there are even many dead bodies of the strange demon army that have not been refreshed, and fat maggots are crawling among the huge bones, which is disgusting , and in the city of Xiangcheng that has been reduced to dust, when I opened my eyes to look at it with the power of transformation, wandering souls appeared one after another, some were hiding under the window, some were holding iron spears, patrolling battlefield.

"Are you looking for Mu Tiancheng?" Lin Fengnian asked.

"Um."

I nodded: "Contain Mu Tiancheng's soul so that it will not disperse."

"Don't look for it."

Lin Fengnian smiled slightly and said, "Go straight ahead, and he will be on the general platform outside the city."

"oh?"

I turned into a speck of golden light and flew out against the ruins. When I came outside the city, a dilapidated dot general platform with burnt wood appeared in my field of vision. A figure stood under the moonlight, dressed in military armor, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, looking towards the direction of his home in the north.

Homeland, old people, are all safe?
