For Nanchu and Ye Xiangfo will raise the status of Jingguo in Southern Chu, in fact, the spies of each family are not very surprised, as early as when Li Yunyi issued the royal order to expand the army, they guessed it, but in their minds, Li Yunyi dared to do this must have been approved by Ye Xiangfo, otherwise he would never dare to face the iron law of the dynasty. They didn't expect that Li Yunyi hadn't gotten angry with Ye Xiangfo at all before he did this.

If Jingguo wants to expand its troops, it can only be achieved by increasing the level of the vassal states. And in the eyes of the major vassal states and the military princes of all walks of life, Jingguo also fully has such conditions, although in the thousands of years of history of Southern Chu, there has never been such a thing as the promotion of the level of the vassal states, but what Li Yunyi did during this period of time is already worthy of Southern Chu. Similarly, this is also the reason why they want to come to Ye Xiang Buddha to agree to Li Yunyi's condition.

But here's the problem

Why is it not the second class, but directly promoted to the first class?

Even if Li Yunyi provided a lot of help in Ye Qingyu's acquisition of the Southern Chu Imperial Power this time, Ye Xiangfo would not be so magnificent, right?

What's more, compared with Yasukuni Lu, which is also a first-class vassal state...... Is Jingguo really worthy?

The reason why Yasukuni and Lu were able to become the first batch of first-class vassal states in Southern Chu is known to all the people in the world, and that is because Yasukuni is close to Beiguan and Lu is close to Dongguan, and it is the Great Zhou and Eastern Qi that are the most powerful in Eastern Shenzhou that are separated from them! Of course, other vassal states also have borders on Great Zhou and Eastern Qi, but Southern Chu cannot always list them all as first-class vassal states, and can only promote two, otherwise, the power of the major vassal states will be too huge to be controlled.

The first-class vassal states are to take care of the family and the courtyard for Southern Chu, and they have to work hard!

But what about Jingguo?

Jingguo is located in the hinterland of Southern Chu, not bordering Eastern Qi in the east, not close to the Western Jin Dynasty in the west, the land ruled by the Southern Chu Dynasty and part of the border of Cai State in the north, and the endless Nanban Mountains in the south.

Such a "good place" to sit back and relax, also with an army of 200,000?

"There's no other stuff in there, right?"

The spies of the various families couldn't figure it out, their brows furrowed, no matter what they thought with their intelligence, they couldn't find a suitable reason and excuse for Ye Xiangfo's reward, except

"Tsk. ”

"Perhaps, this is the treatment of popular fried chicken. ”

Someone shrugged his shoulders, drank the wine in the cup, and sighed helplessly. A sigh immediately resonated with many people.

Is it Ye Xiangfo's preference?

Definitely!

Otherwise, how can we explain this imperial decree of his? Although this edict was issued by Ye Qingyu on the surface, everyone knows that there must be Ye Xiangfo's will in it, and if Ye Xiangfo does not agree, this edict will not be able to be conveyed.

"I'm just afraid that our prince's preference will eventually turn into a bamboo basket for water!"

Someone straightened up with a smile, threw down a few taels of silver in a dashing manner, and turned around and walked downstairs, with a posture of wanting to leave Jingcheng. In fact, he is not the only one who left, as Ye Xiang's will was implemented, the others were also ready to leave, in their opinion, this good show in Jingguo was about to end, as for the result......

There are surprises and joys.

Naturally, it was surprising that Jingguo had become the third first-class vassal state of Southern Chu and the first vassal state to be promoted in thousands of years.

As for the ...... Of course, it's the Huya Army.

Again, if Li Yunyi hadn't issued the order to visit the prince, Jing Guo would have become a first-class vassal state, which would definitely attract the vigilance and attention of all parties, because for any force, the strength of military strength is really strong, and Jing Guo, who has three major god camps, must have been a unique existence before, but now, the Huya Army has been broken up and reorganized!

This kind of taboo that disturbs the morale of the army, in the eyes of anyone, even Li Yunyi has absolutely no power to return to the sky. And Jingguo's current recruitment is undoubtedly verifying this conjecture in their hearts, so in their opinion

Jingguo.

Fearless!

It seems that if Jingguo's status is improved, the number of troops will skyrocket in a short period of time, but the turmoil from the military and the field will definitely not be so easy to solve, even Li Yunyi may have to spend several years to barely check and balance.

In such a situation where they can deduce the national conditions of Jingguo in the next few years with their toes, what is the point of them continuing to stay here?

"Walked away. ”

Half a day later, the restaurant, which had been overcrowded for several days, finally dispersed. And what they don't know is why Ye Xiangfo suddenly rewarded Jingguo so much, let alone them, even Li Yunyi's closest father-in-law, Fu Gonggong, was confused, and he didn't know why, he quickly rushed to the northern camp with the edict in his hand and came to the Black Castle. At this time, it was noon, the winter sun was shining, and it was an uncommon good day, but when he came to this black castle, Father-in-law Fu still couldn't help but feel an inexplicable depression, as if there was something inside that could threaten his life.

"Whew!"

Father-in-law Fu took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Come in. ”

Hearing Li Yunyi's slightly hoarse voice, Gonggong Fu dared to push open the gate of Black Castle and stepped in. He told Zou Hui before that Li Yunyi is very busy now, and he really didn't lie to him, but Li Yunyi is not busy with the Huya Army, he has been in this black castle for eight days, since that night he arranged for Xiong Jun and others to expand the Huya Army, he has been staying here, never went out once, three meals a day are personally sent by Gonggong Fu, and sometimes Li Yunyi still doesn't eat.

After Father-in-law Fu came in, he climbed the stairs with ease, and did not stop until the fourth floor, and if Xiong Jun and the others came up with him at this time, they would definitely be dumbfounded and surprised when they saw everything on the fourth floor, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

Is this still the clean and crisp Black Castle?

Three words

Dirty mess!

What was presented in front of Fu Gonggong was a mess, the ground was full of all kinds of papers, with all kinds of strange patterns painted on them, some like maps, and some so that Fu Gonggong couldn't guess what it was.

It's just that at the door, on a bookshelf, is the cleanest place in the whole room, and it is also paper, but it is stacked quite neatly.

Father-in-law Fu saw everything in the chaos on the fourth floor, and there was no surprise on his face, because he had been here too many times in the past few days, and many of Li Yunyi's instructions were passed out through his mouth, and he came every day, and he was not surprised by this scene for a long time. Even, when he saw Li Yunyi more embarrassed, it was a few days ago, the latter seemed to be troubled by some problem, he didn't eat or rest for three days, he didn't even drink a sip of water, and he kept scribbling and painting in front of the table, which almost made him think that Li Yunyi was in a magical barrier, but fortunately, Li Yunyi was in a good state these days.

Especially today.

Father-in-law Fu's eyes fell on Li Yunyi's face, and he saw that the latter's eyebrows showed a touch of relief that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The problem that has been bothering Li Yunyi in the past few days has been solved?

Father-in-law Fu didn't take the liberty of asking, he also had something to do this time.

"Your Highness, Zou Shouzun is here, and there is an edict from His Majesty, from today onwards, our Jingguo will be a first-class vassal state. ”

A vassal state of the first class?

Li Yunyi raised his eyebrows lightly and chuckled: "Okay, I know, just put it over there." ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Fu did as he said, and put the edict in his hand on the neat bookshelf on the side, but when he turned around and looked at Li Yunyi again, he was obviously a little more suspicious and curious, and even the movement of turning around was a little stiff and hesitant, although this detail was insignificant, but obviously Li Yunyi noticed it.

"Anything else?"

"Dragonfall is already here?"

Gonggong Fu hurriedly shook his head and replied, "Back to Your Highness, General Longfall should not arrive until late tonight." According to General Xiong Jun, the soldiers of the three battalions have also returned, and the others are still on the way. ”

Li Yunyi nodded lightly, but there were more doubts on his face, and said:

"Why are you frowning when it's okay?"

Gonggong Fu knew that Li Yunyi's words had come to this point, and he would definitely not be able to hide it, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Our family is just curious, Your Highness, you seem to have guessed that the King of Zhenchu would pave the way for our Jingguo to expand its troops? Or did you have a plan with the King of Zhenchu?"

Li Yunyi smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said:

"Of course it can't be, I never told Ye Xiangfo about this. ”

Gong Fu was even more surprised when he heard this.

"But you said ...... day"

Li Yunyi knew what day Gonggong Fu was talking about, it was the day he told Xiong Jun and the others to expand the Huya Army, he continued to chuckle, and even this time his posture was more relaxed, leaning back on the recliner, his legs on the table, and lifting Erlang's legs.

"Do you want to say why do I think that Ye Xiangfo will definitely wipe my ass for Jingguo?"

Seeing Gonggong Fu nodding, the light in his eyes became more and more urgent, Li Yunyi smiled and said, "Okay, anyway, I'm almost done, so I'll tell you about it......"

Wonder?

What is Li Yunyi pondering these days when he doesn't come out of Black Castle?

Gonggong Fu was also very curious about Li Yunyi's strange behavior these days, but it was obviously not as good as this matter on his lips, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being, and listened to it. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Li Yunyi's next sentence was not a direct explanation, but a rhetorical question.

"But in the light of the blessed elder, why did he Ye Xiangfo do this?"

"Trust?!"

Gonggong Fu replied almost instantly, and said: "Whether it is the Eastern Qi First Battle or the Great Monday War, not to mention the help His Highness gave him in Chujing some time ago, he must have seen His Highness's loyalty and trusted His Highness so much." ”

Fu Gonggong said, and also cited arguments, which does make some sense, at least that's what the spies of the various families in Jingcheng think in their hearts. It's just that Gonggong Fu didn't expect that before his words could be settled, Li Yunyi was already shaking his head.

"Nope. ”

"What I did before was only secondary, most important for him"

"Because, I make mistakes too. ”

Li Yunyi's voice came from another section of the messy wooden table, and when it reached the ears of Father-in-law Fu, the latter was stunned, looking dazed and sluggish.

Err?

What did Li Yunyi say about the promulgation of the royal decree on vacation a few days ago?

He also knew in his heart that this was a mistake?

But why did he do it anyway?

This is a suspicious point, Fu Gonggong can't figure it out, but what makes him even more incomprehensible is it

When will you be rewarded for making mistakes?

It only takes one mistake to get the status of a first-class vassal state? According to Li Yunyi's argument, the major vassal states of Southern Chu must not make mistakes as if they were crazy?
