Chapter 100: Scarlet Coral
"Or not, put him here, or bring him back to the capital?" The soldier asked with a hesitant face, he actually didn't want to take Xiao Bai away, after all, Xiao Bai was not from the Bohai Kingdom, it could be said that his origin was unknown, and now he had triggered such a strange sign.
"Take it, maybe it works." Even if Xiao Bai Yunling succeeds, he is just a character in the Yunling Realm, and the person in the Yunling Realm is just an ant in her eyes, Xiao Bai is a person who has reached the peak of the Great Freedom Heavenly Realm, and he can't enter the Yunling Realm because he has no aura. When it comes to a world with abundant spiritual energy such as the Kunwu Continent, it is a logical thing to step into the spiritual realm, especially Xiao Bai's practice is a great road derivative, this exercise is inherited from ancient times, and the Chu family is one of the ancient families, it is understandable to collect one or two ancient cultivation exercises, and the most strange thing is this great road derivation, which can now be said to be cheap Xiao Bai.
"General Xuan Hanlin is here."
"General Xuan Hanlin is here."
"General Xuan Hanlin is here."
Dudu, Dudu, Dudu, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty have all stood under the royal court in an orderly manner, and all the civil and military courtiers are dressed in court clothes, and today is a special day. Because today standing on the high platform, standing in front of the quadripartite bronze giant tripod, is the emperor of Bohai Gongsun Mo, all the court officials know that Gongsun Mo has been in retreat for ten years, and the court situation is under the control of the queen, but now that the emperor is back in charge of the court situation, he will definitely reshuffle the court situation. Sure enough, when the emperor returned to power, he summoned the Hanlin general Shi Ying, who had almost been dispatched, back, and now held an extremely grand welcome ceremony for her. With the sound of a huge horn, the cultural relics courtiers stood on both sides, and a red blanket was now spread in the middle, even if it was to welcome the envoy of the crown prince of a country, it was not so solemn, except for the envoys of the imperial country. After all, Bohai still has to live under the protection of the imperial country, at this time Shi Ying is heroic, wearing silver armor, hanging a silver Han sword from his waist, step by step towards the emperor who is high, Bohai is wearing a black embroidered gold flying dragon robe, wearing a crown, and his eyes are extremely majestic to watch Shi Ying walk towards him step by step, and standing under him is the queen, a graceful and luxurious queen, looking at this Shi Ying at this time, there is no change in his eyes. You must know that when this Shiying returned to the national capital, the last person who wanted to see her was the queen, but her face was still graceful and luxurious, as if she didn't care about her at all.
"The last general, Shiying, visited my emperor, my emperor Wan'an, Bohai Wan'an." I saw Shi Ying come to the top of the stairs under the giant ding, half-knelt down, his left hand into a fist, his right hand into a palm, the fist against the palm, held high above his head, it seemed to be the action of a warrior in the rivers and lakes saluting. It's just that the people of the rivers and lakes only need to hold their fists and salute, and they don't need to kneel down like Shiying, nor do they need to raise their heads.
"Qing has been guarding the sea for ten years, it's hard work, let's get even." Gongsun Mo slowly walked down the stairs, came to Shi Ying's side, and bent down to support his arms.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shi Ying said with a frightened face, those who can get the support of the Son of Heaven are all people who are famous all over the world and have immortal merits, Shi Ying never thought that Gongsun Mo would come to such a hand. But Shi Ying's face has not changed in the slightest, she has been guarding the sea for so many years, the Hanlin Army has suffered so many casualties, and the accumulation of military merits is enough to pile up into a mountain, but no one cares about the military merits of the Hanlin Army.
"Today, Lone is here to announce that General Hanlin will be awarded the title of first-class duke and hold the tiger seal." Gongsun Mo said slowly, but as soon as his words came out, not to mention Shi Ying's surprise, even the civil and military courtiers on the ladder were surprised, and even the queen was surprised. This kind of duke has nothing, just a title, although it is the most honorable title in addition to the prince, but if it is not given real power, it doesn't matter, but at this moment Gongsun Mo even gave the tiger seal to Shi Ying, the tiger seal is the handsome seal of the Bohai Sea, and the generalissimo who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses can personally palm the tiger seal, that is to say, now Gongsun Mo has handed over all the soldiers and horses of the Bohai Sea to her.
"Your Majesty, there is no opinion on the concubines of the first-class duke of General Shiying, but the tiger seal is very important, do you have to think about it carefully?" The queen immediately stood up and said to Gongsun Mo.
"What the queen said is that Your Majesty's tiger seal is a matter of soldiers and horses in the world, and please think twice." At the bottom of the stairs, a burly man with a bearded face among the military ministers also stood up and echoed the queen's words. His name is Lin Lang, and he is the queen's cousin, and the Lin family is now under the protection of the queen, as if they have become the first family in Bohai. After the Hanlin Army was dispatched, the queen not only rebuilt the Weiyang School Palace, but also formed an army, called the Weiyang Army, and now Lin Lang, who is standing up, is the only general of the Lin family, and has won the trust of the queen, so she controls the Weiyang Army for her. Originally, he wanted to give Lin Lang the position of the palm tiger seal, but now it was taken by Shi Ying, and the queen didn't want to see it, and Lin Lang was naturally unwilling to let the tiger seal that originally belonged to him be taken by Shi Ying like this.
"General Shi Ying has guarded the sea area for ten years, and my country's sleeping town has never been harassed by pirates, and on the occasion of returning to the capital, he killed Lin Yu, the remnant of Hanlin, who can match such outstanding feats today, and not only ordered Shi Ying to personally hold the tiger seal, but also to reward the Hanlin Army for meritorious deeds, and the two deputy generals of Shi Ying Aiqing should be awarded the title of right general." Gongsun Mo said coldly, his eyes were extremely majestic, and it seemed that no one would be allowed to question his majesty. As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy civil and military courtiers became quiet, at this time, who didn't know that the emperor wanted to suppress the arrogance of the queen's family, after all, the Weiyang army was all under the control of the queen, and now the position that originally belonged to Lin Lang was given to Shi Ying. If it weren't for what happened ten years ago, Shi Ying would indeed be worthy of sitting in that position, but ten years ago, it was impossible for the queen and Shi Ying to get along, they were both human spirits, how could you not imagine that Your Majesty was using Shi Ying to warn the queen and her party.
"Thank you for the grace of heaven, my emperor is safe, my country is safe." Shi Ying seemed to be extremely excited and said, it can be said that he was grateful, and a chamberlain beside him had already brought a pitch-black wooden box to Shi Ying's side, and slowly opened it, and inside was a white jade seal, only the size of a palm, but it carved a tiger head on the jade seal, which looked powerful and extraordinary, watching the tiger mark fall into Shi Ying's hands, Lin Lang's eyes were full of unwillingness, looking at Shi Ying's back above, his eyes were full of coldness and gradually turned into a vicious color.
"Qing has worked hard, the general's mansion has been prepared in the city, I hope not to live up to Lone's trust in Aiqing, and in the future, as in the past, for the benefit of the people of Bohai." Gongsun Mo looked at Shi Ying with great anticipation and said.
"The minister will not fail in his mission." Shi Ying said solemnly.
"Very good, my expectations for you hope not to disappoint Lone, the queen's pressure is Lonely, the time to pay tribute is up, the envoy of Yu is about to arrive, I don't want the country to be in chaos, of course, if anyone destroys this chaos, you can let him disappear, but only under the Holy Realm, after all, the Holy Realm of the Bohai Sea, each of them is a rare wealth." Gongsun Mo leaned into Shi Ying's ear and whispered.
"The minister understands, it's just the same every year, why does Your Majesty value this opportunity so much?" Shi Ying said with a puzzled face, Bohai has been doing it for many years to welcome the envoy of Yu, as long as he prepares the tribute, it is obvious that this time Gongsun Mo attaches great importance to the envoy of Yu. Yu is an imperial country, and it is considered a midstream country in the imperial country, all the island countries on the entire East China Sea, as well as many countries on the road to the Eastern Regions are subject countries of Yu country, but the territory of Yu country is not necessarily very large, but to be able to control so many subject countries, it does not necessarily need a wide territory, but strength, as long as Yu country has the strength to destroy the Bohai Sea at any time, then it is okay.
"This tribute heard that there are nobles to visit Yu country, want to find a treasure, if it is favored by the nobles, our country will get the supreme glory, so the surrounding countries this year are enshrined are countless treasures, so Lone also netted a lot of treasures, I hope that the noble man can take a fancy to him, once he fancies, I Bohai is valued by Emperor Yu, so how can I not care?" Gongsun Mo said very solemnly, this matter has been transmitted from Yu to the ears of the surrounding countries, that person is still in the country of Yu, I heard that even Emperor Yu trembled in front of that person, you must know what kind of person Emperor Yu is, that is the existence of Gongsun Mo and other figures. Even he is so careful about people, unless he is the prince of the ten imperial kingdoms, or someone from a higher place, such as the four empires, if he can shine a glance in front of such a person, the status of Bohai will definitely soar into the sky, and even become an imperial country is unknown, how can Gongsun Mo not be excited when he thinks of such a big event. Therefore, he persuaded Shi Ying to shake the national capital with an iron and bloody wrist, but he couldn't kill the strong people who entered the Holy Realm, that was because the strength of a country still depended on those strong people, otherwise even if it was valued, if it didn't have a little strength, it would not be a good thing.
"I understand, Weichen and the Hanlin Army have surrounded and suppressed the pirates for ten years, and they have suffered heavy casualties, but they have obtained a treasure, which is presented to Your Majesty today, and I hope Your Majesty will grant your Majesty a request." Shi Ying said solemnly.
"What treasure?" As soon as he heard the treasure, Gongsun Mo's eyes lit up, you must know that what he lacks most at this moment is a rare treasure, a treasure that can be valued, he is now looking for an East Pearl, although the East Pearl is very common in the East China Sea, but what Gongsun Mo is preparing is a East Pearl King, like a full moon like a full moon, he believes that the entire East China Sea has no country that can be more generous than him. Dongzhu is hard to find, Dongzhu King is even more difficult to find, even if it is Yuguo, it is a very rare treasure, but he knows that Dongzhu may not be able to impress the people above, after all, the people above Yuguo, more resources, what treasures have not been seen, Dongzhu King is a rare treasure in the Bohai Sea, but among the ten imperial kingdoms, I am afraid that it has become a vulgar thing.
"Bring the stuff up." Shi Ying turned his head and said loudly, and in an instant, one of her lieutenants came towards them quickly with a jade box, and all of them stared at the jade box curiously. They are also speculating about what is in the jade box, but the queen and Lin Lang's eyes are full of disdain, the Hanlin army has been assigned by them, and they have not enjoyed the military resources and armaments of the Bohai Sea for ten years, and can only be eaten in the hands of pirates, what treasures can those pirates have, even if there are pirates with treasures, they will be swept away by the fleets of various countries immediately. At the beginning, Gongsun Mo's East Pearl was obtained by sweeping a famous pirate in the East China Sea, and when the jade box was brought to Gongsun Mo's body, Gongsun Mo slowly opened the jade box. I saw a coral shaped like a palm and colored like blood fell in Gongsun Mo's eyes, and the most peculiar thing is that this coral is like a heartbeat, coo, all at once, it seems to be affecting Gongsun Mo's heartbeat, Gongsun Mo's eyes are stagnant, and his breathing is trembling.
"Is this blood-colored coral?" Gongsun Mo trembled and held the jade box, extremely cautious, seeing Gongsun Mo's gaffe, all the courtiers were extremely depressed, the things in the jade box, the queen and Lin Lang had some doubts in their eyes, and there was an ominous feeling in their hearts.
"Yes, Weichen wants to use this blood-colored coral to seek justice for the dead soldiers, the Hanlin Army is a soldier of the Bohai Sea, but in the past ten years, the soldiers have not been allowed to have a grain of grain in the court, and they have not been paid a penny, Weichen wants to ask Your Majesty, is the Hanlin Army still the army of Bohai, or Your Majesty's army?" Shi Ying knelt down in front of the emperor with great dignity and said.
What does Aiqing mean by this? Lone Ke has always ordered the Hanlin Army to be cut off, and there is a salary every year, how can it be said that the Hanlin Army has not received a penny of military salary? Gongsun Mo's face became ugly, although the Hanlin Army was involved with the Hanlin Academy, although Gongsun Mo didn't like it and sent them to guard the sea area, but after all, they were the army of the Bohai Sea, and they had meritorious service in guarding the sea area, so Gongsun Mo had never deducted his military salary at all, reduced his armament, and before the retreat, he instructed the queen that the Hanlin Army was as usual, and the sea area was dangerous, and he knew that the Hanlin Army would have losses. But taking into account the influence of the Hanlin Army, so the Hanlin Army is not allowed to recruit troops, this is an order, and also informed the queen that with the loss of the Hanlin Army, the salary and armament are reduced as appropriate, but it is not harsh, he has seen those salaries and armaments for the first time, and the salary and armament spent this year are still enough to prepare a million troops, he thinks that the Hanlin Army still has a million army, and now the Weiyang Army is also enough to have a million people, so there are two strong armies in the court, so the Hanlin Army will be transferred back to the country to balance the Weiyang Army, and he ordered to transfer back 100,000 elites, As everyone knows, these 100,000 elites are already the surviving soldiers of the Hanlin Army, and Gongsun defaults to the fact that there are still a million Hanlin troops stationed at sea, so he will be transferred back to Shiying.
"Your Majesty, since ten years ago, the Hanlin Army has never received a penny of military pay and armaments from the imperial court, and in the first year, the Hanlin Army alone starved to death as many as 600,000 soldiers." The lieutenant also knelt on the ground and said it loudly, and many people standing at the bottom of the stairs changed color at this time, especially the faces of the queen and Lin Lang became ugly, because they knew these things very well. At this time, Gongsun Mo's face was completely ugly, he naturally knew that the queen would definitely have something to hide from him, but it would not be too much, how could he hide so much from him.
"Aiqing, I ask you, how many soldiers are there in the Hanlin Army today?" Gongsun Mo said very solemnly.
"Your Majesty, there are still 100,000 soldiers in the Hanlin Army now." Shi Ying shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, to be exact, 99,732 soldiers." The lieutenant general beside him reported the accurate number, Gongsun Mo staggered and fell, and Shi Ying hurriedly supported him.
"Lone is not in good health, what will happen tomorrow Lone will definitely give the general a satisfactory answer, General Lone Shiying immediately led all the soldiers of the Hanlin Army to assist in the defense with the Royal Forest Army, and the town and the country will be peaceful." Gongsun Mo said with a trembling voice.
"The minister commands." Shi Ying knelt down to receive the order, she also knew that this was not the time to talk about these things, so she left in a hurry, and Gongsun Mo returned to the palace with the support of the inner servants, and those courtiers gradually left, never thought that there would be such a big change, Queen Lin Yu and Lin Lang's faces were very ugly, because the preparation of the Han Lin Army was greedy by the Lin family, otherwise, how could a Lin family become the largest family in Bohai in ten years, and it could also form the first strong army, Weiyang Army.
