The old man's face was suspicious, and he began to look at Yu Kongsang, his expression was gloomy, and he said, "Who are you? If you can't tell clearly, that person will be your fate, and with your strength at the peak of the ninth rank, there is no difference from him." ”

Yu Kongsang said: "Qiu Lao, please listen to the last general's words, there is no falsehood in what I just said, and now this letter is written by the only heir of the Qiu family, the Qiu Jue Prince, if Qiu Lao still thinks that I am talking nonsense after reading it, it is not too late to kill me, with the strength of your status realm, I can easily kill me no matter how far Qiu Lao runs, isn't it?"

The old man saw that Yu Kongsang was still polite, so he took the envelope he held in both hands, and suddenly scolded: "If you deceive me, I will make your life worse than death!"

Yu Kongsang said: "Yes!"

The old man didn't open the envelope in a hurry, walked a few steps on the edge of the emperor's dragon chair, turned his back to Yu Kongsang and began to read the contents of the letter, this process lasted for more than ten minutes, and the old man turned around with a complicated face and said, "Let me ask you, what kind of person is this Qiu Jue?"

Yu Kongsang said: "His Royal Highness Qiu Jue is a genius who has not been encountered in the Three Walls and Nine Fields for thousands of years, if one day he becomes the strongest person in this continent, I will not have the slightest doubt." ”

The old man was silent.

Yu Kongsang didn't speak either, and now everything was waiting for the old man's decision.

The old man suddenly said loudly: "The Qiu family can have such a descendant, I am also very pleased as a side person, but the plan he said is too bold, it is not like a young man in his twenties can come up with it, I don't doubt the authenticity of this letter, nor do I question the existence of Qiu Jue, I can already see some clues from this letter, but my thinking is still quite conservative, I don't dare to take the foundation of the Qiu family to do this kind of risk." ”

Yu Kongsang said: "Your Highness Qiu Jue, you have killed a person with a strong status. ”

When the words fell, the old man was startled again and said, "What you said is true?"

Yu Kongsang said: "His Royal Highness Qiu Jue is peerless and resourceful, and he can't fake it. ”

The old man stroked his beard and pondered for a long time, and the hall fell silent.

"Okay, I'll do what he planned, and I also want to see what the real prosperity of the Qin Dynasty looks like. ”

On the fourth day when Wohua Mountain really mastered the capital of the Qin Dynasty, an apricot yellow flag rose in Luanlai Lake, and then it was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers swept out of it, cleaning up all the bandits in Wohua Mountain and Daming Cave in the capital with lightning speed.

And the Qin soldiers in the city of Mourning finally set off, the Qin soldiers with unparalleled combat power quickly approached from all directions, captured several cities in a row, and regained all the cities controlled by Daming Cave and Wohua Mountain.

In just a few days, Wohua Mountain and Daming Cave surrendered nearly one million troops, in addition to the disappearance of the mountain lord of Wohua Mountain, the three major generals of Wohua Mountain, Hu Yanwu, Cheng Huan, Wang Xiang and the military division Sikong Jin were captured, and the other soldiers were all defeated by the army of Luanlai Lake, and the capital changed hands again.

On the same day, the soldiers of the city of Lincheng were stationed in the capital, and the three generalissimos of the soldiers and horses once again appeared in front of the people at the same time, and the months-long mountain bandit rebellion came to an end, and the people of the Qin Dynasty who were deeply affected by it sang and danced happily.

With the three generalissimos of soldiers and horses as the mainstay, most of the imperial palace of the capital city was demolished, and 820 palaces were repaired in the city of Wohua Mountain and Daming Cave, as the new site of the palace of the Qin Dynasty, and the capital was moved to the city of Qiulin, and the year name was Qiuqi.

Changing the new political system, although it is a dynasty, the policy of alliance is implemented, and the law of "the people are the first, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light" is universalized to the people. Each county set up a county guard executive envoy, a supervisory envoy, and a senator to supervise the administration, abolished the territorial system of soldiers and horses, went down to the city, recommended the sage as officials, and proposed the imperial examination to recruit talents.

Drawing on the Tianxin Empire to develop commerce, and at the same time building agricultural base stations, the two-pronged approach, and tax reduction, some people who have made significant contributions to cancel taxes for a certain number of years, in order to encourage the people to restore the post-war economy. At the same time, drawing on the system of guarding and executing the punishment of the Nine Provinces Alliance, an elite warrior organization was established to coordinate the administration of the imperial court and stabilize the local government.

As for the other various systems, the original Qin Dynasty system has been overturned, and it seems that a new dynasty has been re-established, and the most important thing is that under such a system, the people of all classes have tasted the sweetness, which can be described as a system that benefits the people, so the people are also willing to believe in the Qin Dynasty again, thinking that after a few years, the Qin Dynasty will definitely have a different appearance.

On the day when the old palace of the capital was demolished, many people in the capital vaguely saw that a golden dragon flew up from the demolished ruins and went straight to the sky, and then a dark cloud was instantly dispersed, and the bright sun appeared, and at the same time, under the bright luster, the sky rained.

This is considered by the people to be the starting point of the new dynasty, and Ganlin is the sign of the new year, after all, in this solar term, it is generally snowfall, and the snow on the high mountains has not yet melted. The world is the world of the people, and if ordinary people can be satisfied, then the rise of a country is not a lie.

In the city of Mourning, the new palace is still under construction, and in the official palace gate opened on the side, the officials of the previous dynasties are already discussing measures to rebuild the dynasty, and there are three generalissimos of soldiers and horses in the court, and no one dares to slack off.

The imperial dragon chair, which symbolizes the power of the Qin Dynasty, has also been relocated here, and when the old man of the status realm came to this city, he felt the unique place of the city, and sighed: "I was originally angry at the autumn relocation of the capital, after all, it was the address constructed by the first emperor, and the rash relocation would destroy the original dynasty luck, and it would cost people and financial resources to build a large number of buildings, but now I have some understanding." ”

"The aura of heaven and earth in this city is much stronger than in other places, and the structure of the city is more in line with the concept of one city for one country, which has a great effect on the establishment of the country. I even felt it even more vaguely, there is a very strong source of luck in the underground of this city, although it is an ethereal thing, but what is manifested is that it can be perceived. ”

"There is a dragon of luck in the palace of the former capital, but this junior ordered me to destroy it, so that the luck is returned to the people, in order to reach the peak of the national fortune in the short term, this is indeed the best way to raise the people with luck, but there is no luck to gather, it will make the national luck missing, which will cause problems such as mountain banditry and chaos, and now it seems that I am too worried. ”

Yu Kongsang, Deng Xing, and Meng Zhenyan, who were walking on the side, listened to these words and thought to themselves, Deng Xing stepped forward and said: "Qiu Lao actually doesn't know, His Royal Highness Qiu Jue has long known this method of luck, and after detecting the peculiarities of the Dead Lin City, he used this place as the site of the new capital, and breaking the source of luck in the past can also effectively curb people with intentions from using luck to make trouble, and from then on the Qin Dynasty will embark on a new era, of course, this is what His Royal Highness Qiu Jue said." ”

After listening to Deng Xing's words, the white-haired old man keenly noticed the expressions of the three of them, and asked: "You are all Qiu Jue's subordinates? Not enough I seem to remember the rules set by the previous emperor, but all the princes and nobles are not allowed to get close to the generals in charge of the soldiers and horses.

Deng Xing and Meng Jianyan were angry, if it weren't for the fact that the old man in front of him was the ancestor of the Qiu clan, and he had the strength of a strong person, they would definitely scold him regardless of proportion, not to mention that Qiu would never have to form a party, even if he relied on forming a party to gather power, it was nothing unusual in this troubled world, but being said by this old man was as if he had committed a heinous crime.

Yu Kongsang hinted at the two of them, and still greeted them with a smile: "Qiu Lao's words are exaggerated, His Royal Highness Qiu Jue is a reinventor of the collapse of the old dynasty, abolishing the old rule, and planning the national policy, which can be said to give the Qin Dynasty an opportunity to nirvana, what Qiu Lao said before, but the Qiu royal family was degraded to worthless." ”

The old man was speechless and said: "It's my mistake, if the Qiu clan really has such descendants, it is really a blessing for the Qin Dynasty, if the Qin Dynasty can recreate the peak moment of the five heroic states during the Jiufu Alliance State, at that time, maybe I will have the opportunity to become a real person." ”

The third general looked over, and Meng Yanyan said, "I don't know how to say this?"

The old man said: "I am no longer a real person in a sense, as we all know, even if the martial arts realm reaches the status realm, it can not be truly immortal." I am the first generation of status cultivators of the Qin Dynasty, and I am also the only martial artist who has reached the status realm. In order to protect his rivers and mountains, I chose to use secret methods to temper my body to become the living dead, and seal my soul in the emperor's throne, so as to achieve several times the long life to guard the rule of the Qiu clan. ”

In this way, as the guardian of the Qiu family's imperial power, this Qiu Lao has gone through a hundred years of dynastic changes, and he can be regarded as extremely qualified, and he can achieve such strength, largely because of his long lifespan, and the importance of life to living beings is self-evident.

Meng Jianyan said: "Don't worry, Qiu Lao, you will definitely be able to see the Qin Dynasty become a Xiongguo, the Nine Provinces Alliance shook Zhu Tianye a hundred years ago, and forcibly recruited countless forces with black-clothed teeth, His Royal Highness Qiu Jue sat down with such a careful arrangement, and he would definitely be able to reach that point in the future." ”

The old man nodded, neither denying nor admitting it. Because from beginning to end, he did not see the unparalleled wisdom of the three generalissimos of the autumn prince, this genius who only existed in the hearsay, seemed to have died at such an age, just relying on the many good strategies he left behind, to decide the direction of the Qin Dynasty in the next hundred years, it is simply a fool's dream.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but sigh with emotion that the Qiu clan's talents were withering, and asked: "Have you discussed the new generation of Qin Emperors? Do you really want to do what Qiu Jue said in the letter to me? Those with different surnames cannot inherit the throne, this is the rule given to me by the previous emperor, but he meant to make me abandon my mission, do you think I will agree?"

Deng Xing said: "The order left by His Highness, all the arrangements are carried out according to the strategy he left behind, and we will not change it." ”

The old man said: "The major matter of the throne, how can you allow a junior to change without authorization? As the decision-maker of the Guardian Dynasty, you are so confused?"

Meng Jianyan said coldly: "The dynasty is all rectified by His Royal Highness, if there is no His Highness, the Qin Dynasty will still be a situation where bandits are rampant, this dynasty is the dynasty of His Royal Highness Qiu Jue, the rules here, we only recognize the rules set by His Highness." ”

The old man snorted, and did not argue with Meng Jianyan, but said, "But I don't agree." ”

Yu Kongsang, Meng Jianyan, and Deng Xing looked stiff, and then the three of them laughed indifferently, Yu Kongsang stepped forward and bowed and said: "Don't blame Qiu Lao, we actually don't want to say this, Qiu Lao is the guardian of the Qiu clan of the Qin Dynasty, but he is not the ruler and adjudicator, whether we want to take such measures, Qiu Lao can't interfere." But His Royal Highness Qiu Jue still prepared a letter to you early, this is His Royal Highness's respect for his predecessors, and Qiu Lao, as a strong man of a generation, should understand the truth. ”

The old man's eyes glared sharply at the three of them, and said, "None of the emperors have left any evidence of a guardian, I want to know, how did your highness, who is respected as a god, know about my existence?"

Deng Xing said: "His Royal Highness knows everything, so he can be resourceful." ”

Meng Jianyan said: "If Qiu Lao insists on blocking it, it is okay for the Qin Dynasty not to have a guardian, just change to an emperor dragon chair, it is not a difficult task." ”

The old man had no words again, he was just a guardian after all, what the Qiu royal family wanted to do he couldn't stop, the three generalissimos didn't continue to talk, his body dissipated, and it seemed that he followed the soul back to the throne.

This already means that there is no opinion.

Meng Jinyan looked at Yu Kongsang and said, "I remember, His Highness intended to recruit you before, but you refused, and now that His Highness is leaving, you choose to carry out his will, Deng Xing and I still have suspicions about you, and I hope you can explain." ”

Yu Kongsang smiled: "Are you doubting me?"

Deng Xing said: "Yes, we are doubting you, you have never been a person who has abandoned your will, we know you very well, you are more realistic than anyone else." ”

Yu Kongsang said: "Since this is the case, then I have to explain, I remember that the reason why Meng Jianyan chose to completely surrender to His Highness Qiu Jue was because he did something, and you made up your mind, right?"

Meng Jianyan had previously agreed with Qiu Jue that if Qiu Jue could use his wits to calculate the two status cultivators, he would choose to surrender, and later he witnessed Qiu Jue's success and obtained all the plans.

Yu Kongsang said: "I also have an agreement with His Royal Highness Qiu Jue, he will come to pacify the Qin Dynasty, and I will help him complete the rest of the things, His Highness has done it, I naturally chose to surrender, but now there is no one to corroborate for me, do you believe it or not?"

The three of them are all generalissimos, although they usually have no contact in their own territories, but they have a unique tacit understanding.

"In that case, let the three of us fulfill the will of His Highness and protect this new Qin Dynasty. ”

In the city of Mourning, in the prince's mansion, the new emperor has already prepared his clothes, and under the teaching of the minister of etiquette, he is learning the etiquette to be used on the day of the emperor, but depending on his face, it is Xu Cong, who once had a dispute with Jiang Ming.

Those officials who had been taught a few times ago were all pointing and looking at the appearance of the new emperor, and his bold appearance was not related to the emperor's son at all, but he was appointed by the three generalissimos, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city that belonged to the four of him.

"I heard that this Xu family is the landlord family of Jiaozhi City, not to mention who Xu Cong is, his son who looks kind is Xu Fanshi, who has been widely praised in the Qin Dynasty. ”

"What? Is it Xu Fanshi, who is the only one in the world? Isn't he notorious, how did he come here?"

What's even more strange is that the father and son of the Xu family have more than 100,000 troops, and the three marshals have also allowed Xu Cong to become the acting Qin Emperor of the Qin Dynasty and supervise the adulthood of the son, during this period of more than ten years, he will be the real king of the Qin Dynasty. ”

"Confused, the three marshals are confused, how can this kind of person be allowed to supervise the dynasty? If it causes chaos in the world again, where is there a second His Highness Qiu Jue? I will go to Prime Minister Wen Yuan to make it clear. ”

"Yes, yes, we must not allow this kind of unidentified person with a different surname to ascend to the throne, otherwise the foundation of the Qin Dynasty will be ruined. ”

At this moment, four people walked in outside the palace gate, three in armor and one in Confucian robes, who were now in power in the court, the three generalissimos of soldiers and horses and the former prime minister Wen Yuan.

When Xu Cong and Xu Fanshi saw the visitor, Lang walked over with a smile, and the former did not give a salute, so he said: "The three marshals and the prime minister have a lot of opportunities, and they have only come to see me in the past few days, and I am going to have a lot of complaints." ”

Xu Fanshi bowed down, and all the officials knelt and bowed.

Wen Yuan raised his hand and said, "Master Xu, you are the future Emperor of Qin, you don't need to greet us, there is nothing wrong with the three of them, but I don't have an official position now, so I have lost my worth." ”

Xu Cong said: "Prime Minister Wen is a virtuous minister in the world, and his merits are outstanding, even the Qin Emperor should bow down." The three marshals have contributed to the stability of the Qin Dynasty, and such achievements are worthy of my current status. ”

Meng Jianyan said: "Your Highness said that you are as cunning as a wolf, and you have already revealed a few points between your words. ”

Xu Cong smiled lightly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation, and thank you Marshal for your compliment." ”

Meng Zhenyan said: "Your Highness also said that you, although you are cunning, but you are the best candidate for this new country to start managing the dynasty, and having you govern the country is enough to bring the Qin Dynasty from decline to prosperity, Your Highness believes that we have no reason to support it." ”

After hearing Meng Jianyan's words, all the officials were shocked, such a decision was actually issued by His Royal Highness Qiu Jue, let the person with a different surname be the emperor and take charge of the power of the dynasty on his behalf, this is an unprecedented decision after all.

Xu Cong said: "I understand that His Royal Highness asked me to take charge of the Qin Dynasty on his behalf because he can afford my ability, and I will definitely live up to my expectations, let the Qin Dynasty become strong quickly, and cultivate the prince of Qiu Ji, and return this position to him when he becomes an adult." ”

Deng Xing said: "If the prince is not talented, you will also be passed on as the emperor of the Xu family, which is also an order of His Royal Highness." Since you left Jiaozhi City, you have been under the surveillance of His Highness, if you want this great position, Your Highness can give it to you, as long as you can make the Qin Dynasty strong, we will spare no effort to support you. The time limit is eighteen years, and I hope you can take advantage of the opportunity. ”

Xu Cong and Xu Fanshi's bodies were shocked, and the coercion of Qiu Jue was like a vast heaven and earth pressing on them, even if they could reign over the Qin Dynasty, but in the eyes of the invisible Qiu Jue, they were still as small as ants.
