Chapter 423: Qiao Qingcheng's Calculations
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
After a long period of rest and expansion, the strength of the Yang family's army increased to as much as 100,000.
When Chen Feng was in retreat, the affairs of the army were entrusted to Nangong Zhanpeng to take care of them, and he did a very good job, orderly inside and out, and very neat up and down.
In addition, some of the Source Realm monks who were rescued by Chen Feng from the Immortal Demon Cave also crushed the teleportation mark from different places and went directly to the Shenchuan Domain, adding a strong backing to the Yang Jiajun again.
Chen Feng was immersed in the state of cultivation, almost forgetting the time, and the realm finally stepped into the late stage of the Holy Monarch, but he still did not stop, and continued to break through to a higher realm!
Good thing inside the crystal ball. The strength of hope is extremely huge, otherwise it will definitely not be able to support Chen Feng to continue.
Because as the cultivation increases, the amount required also increases, and it is hoped that the power can indeed be converted into cultivation, and it will not leave any side effects, and it will be perfectly compatible with itself. But it also takes a process, it takes time, Chen Feng can't eat a single bite, such a big piece of cake.
And at the same time.
In Luo Tianyu, Qiao's house.
Qiao Qingcheng was preparing to enter the palace and go to court, by the eldest grandson Qiao Shaojie. personally put on the official uniform, looking leisurely.
Today is the day of Qiao Jiuxiao's return, and he has already planned to take credit in front of the new majesty.
This new majesty is even more mediocre than Luo Xiao, after taking over the throne, he can be described as a drunken gold fan, and even Nangong Qiu, the former queen, took over directly, and the power of the court is still in his hands.
Although compared to the Nangong family, the Qiao family still lacks confidence, after all, the foundation of the Nangong family is here, and there is the half-step master of Nangong Ancestor, no matter how hard the Qiao family tries, it is impossible to catch up, so Qiao Qingcheng is already content with the status quo.
"Grandpa, today my father returned from a foreign expedition, you will enter the palace later, how do you plan to invite merit with Your Majesty?" Qiao Shaojie asked with a smile.
"Naturally, I asked for permission to see if there was a chance for your father to enter the Emperor Yin Palace to cultivate, you must know that your father still has a lot of weaknesses in terms of strength. Qiao Qingcheng opened his mouth confidently, he didn't think that going out to fight would be wrong at all, after all, Luo Tianyu's reputation was here, which star domain would dare to resist?
In addition, the new Majesty has special trust in him, and there may not be no opportunities.
"Enter the Emperor Yin Palace to cultivate, that place has the previous wives, and Luo Tian Ancestor, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, right?" Qiao Shaojie's face sank, the Emperor Yin Palace was definitely the reserve power of the royal family, how could ordinary people easily enter.
"You can rest assured, Your Majesty has great trust in me, and you will definitely help me when you are done, and apply to the Diyin Palace, and Your Majesty has just taken office, if you can't do this thing, how can you establish your authority in front of the ministers, and how can you stand on the government? So I conclude that the Diyin Palace will definitely give full support to Your Majesty, and it will be 100% agree. Qiao Qingcheng smiled calmly.
As long as Qiao Jiuxiao can enter the Emperor Yin Palace, get a chance in it, or be valued by Luo Tian's ancestor, then it is also a great thing for the Qiao family.
No matter how you look at it, it's good for the royal family. There is no harm to the Qiao family, it can not only win over the ministers, but also support His Majesty's throne, maybe through this matter, it can stimulate the fighting spirit of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, so that everyone can work harder, and it is impossible to refuse.
"It's still grandpa who is thoughtful. Qiao Shaojie said complacently.
"Stay in the house and wait for the good news. Qiao Qingcheng put down a sentence, slowly put on his official hat, and went directly to the palace.
Soon.
Arrived at the Daluo Palace.
The ministers and officials gathered on the main hall.
The new Majesty's name is Luo Hou, and he is sitting on the dragon chair with a happy expression.
"Your Majesty, according to the original time, today is the day when my son Jiuxiao returns from the expedition, and the task of this expedition is extremely heavy..."Qiao Qingcheng folded his hands and deliberately only spoke halfway.
Luo Houshu raised his brows and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, the Qiao family has made great contributions to Luo Tianyu, so naturally they will not be treated badly, you can rest assured of this, just mention any requirements." ”
"Your Majesty, wait for Jiuxiao to return with his troops. Weichen wanted to apply to His Majesty to let Jiuxiao enter the Emperor Yin Palace for further cultivation. Qiao Qingcheng spoke without hesitation.
When Luo Hou heard this, he was immediately a little embarrassed.
The ministers below were also a little surprised when they saw this.
"Enter the Emperor Yin Palace to cultivate?"
"Before that, you can't go in except for the royal family. ”
"Prime Minister. What does this mean? How could the Emperor Yin Palace agree?"
"This..."Luo Hou's face was embarrassed, although he succeeded to the throne, to put it bluntly, he was an imperial power manager, and the greatest power was always in the Emperor Yin Palace!
Qiao Qingcheng's eyes flashed, in front of all the ministers. He walked directly to the dragon chair, gently echoed Luo Hou's ear, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I don't mean to embarrass you, nor do I want to save your face, think about it." You have just succeeded to the throne not long ago, and if you want to convince the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, you have to do something more convincing than Luo Xiao. ”
"What the prime minister said, then what do you mean?" Luo Hou nodded approvingly.
"You just follow what I said, break this precedent, and go directly to the Emperor Yin Palace to apply. I guarantee that after this incident, many people will squeeze their heads and want to enter the Emperor Yin Palace to cultivate, and they will definitely continue to perform meritorious services for this, so Luo Tianyu will definitely be even stronger!" Qiao Qingcheng explained.
"It makes sense, it's still the prime minister's cleverness. But whether I can get consent or not, I can't say for sure, if the Emperor Yin Palace vetoes this application and does not allow me to break this precedent, then won't I lose face?" Luo Hou glanced around the hall and replied softly.
"Your Majesty is too worried. The Diyin Palace will definitely agree, how can the Diyin Palace make you lose your prestige in the court? On the contrary, it is necessary to support you, if you speak in the main hall, the Diyin Palace will not refute your face. Qiao Qingcheng said.
"The prime minister deserves to be the prime minister, you go back to your place first. Luo Hou looked overjoyed.
Qiao Qingcheng was secretly proud. Hurriedly returned to his original position, and said in his heart that His Majesty Luo Hou was just a useless puppet at his mercy.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Hou coughed a few times and cleared his throat before saying, "This proposal of the prime minister." Yes, in the future, anyone who has made great contributions will have the opportunity to enter the Emperor Yin Palace to cultivate. ”
There was a bang, and there was a burst of surprise and excitement in the hall.
"I also want to enter the Emperor Yin Palace to cultivate. ”
"Qiao Jiuxiao has already made a great contribution when he comes back this time, he is the first non-royal family to enter the Diyin Palace. ”
"Qiao Jiuxiao, I'm afraid I'm going to soar into the sky in the future. ”
Listening to the sounds around him, Qiao Qingcheng couldn't help but look at some people from the Nangong family in the main hall, intentionally or unintentionally.
No. 1 Generalissimo Nangong Qian. With a thoughtful look, he seemed to agree with Qiao Qingcheng's approach, after all, it was good for anyone, so he simply glanced back from afar.
Qiao Qingcheng nodded secretly in response, undoubtedly flattering on both sides. not only deepened Luo Hou's trust, but also secretly patted the Nangong family's sycophants.
"Fei Peng, in the future, you have to fight for the opportunity to perform well, if you can enter the Emperor Yin Palace to cultivate, you may be able to enter the Source Realm. Nangong Qian admonished.
"Yes. Nangong Feipeng stood beside him. At this moment, Xiu Wei is already the peak of the Holy Monarch, and in fact, he doesn't have a good impression of Qiao Qingcheng, but in the middle of the court, this matter cannot be denied, and it is indeed good for everyone to do it.
Of course. Nangong Feipeng is not stupid, if there is no benefit, Qiao Qingcheng will not do it.
Looking back now, Yang Ding didn't get any rewards for Luo Tianyu's great achievements at the beginning, but now Qiao Jiuxiao led the troops to conscript, but it was really unfair to be able to get such an honor.
Nangong Feipeng suddenly remembered Chen Feng, and he didn't know whether Chen Feng was alive or dead now, after leaving Luo Tianyu.
He still remembers that he had made an agreement with Chen Feng to have a hearty battle!
Similarly, no one knew that when Chen Feng left Luo Tianyu, he Nangong Feipeng let him go.
In the blink of an eye.
Half a day passed.
In order to wait for Qiao Jiuxiao to return to Luo Tianyu, the hall did not disperse for a long time.
Qiao Qingcheng can be said to be full of joy, and he has a plan for himself in his heart. Appeared very satisfied.
Outcome...
As a result, when it was dark, there was no movement.
"It can't be an accident, right?" Luo Hou frowned.
"Impossible, this expedition mission is very smooth according to the original plan, and with the reputation of Luo Tianyu, plus more than 300,000 troops. Who dares to resist, and who can resist? It must be a waste of time. Qiao Qingcheng shook his head.
"Okay, just wait. Luo Hou nodded.
However, in the dead of night, there was still no movement!
"Could it be that something really happened, right? Even if something really happened, shouldn't there be no one who came back?" Qiao Qingcheng began to panic, if Qiao Jiuxiao died, then his plan would not only be completely ruined, but also made a dowry for others.
