Volume 14 Chapter 14 Qinghe
The current Son of Heaven of Dayue Kingdom, His Majesty Li Shihao, who takes "Zhenda" as the year name, is a very dignified person. This is unanimously recognized by both the subjects of one's own country and the kings and subjects of other countries.
He was in his early thirties, in the prime of life, with a tall figure and a slightly square face, full of a sense of strength. And his speech and demeanor also exude an unsettling oppressive force, and those who are a little less courageous cannot even speak neatly in front of him. (Pea Update)
Liu Yu, the former monarch of the Great Han Kingdom, Xingguo Emperor Liu Yu, once commented on Li Shihao: "This person who will become the emperor of Nanyue in the future will definitely use his own strength to firmly control the entire country in his hands, and will not give even the slightest power to others." He would not allow anyone to share his authority, such as the kind of harmony and cooperation between the emperor and the prime minister Lin Lushan, such as the situation between Emperor Tianyou of Eastern Chu and Prime Minister Lin Lushan, would never happen. ”
His Majesty Liu Yu reigned for 35 years and was known for his discernment. When he made this evaluation of Li Shihao, the future Emperor Zhenda was still a teenager who was only fourteen years old. However, facts have proved that the insight of the Emperor Xingguo is indeed not wrong, and after ascending the throne, Li Shihao changed to the practice of saying that "the emperor and the famous family share the world" in Nanyue, and used all kinds of overt or covert means to deal a big blow to those famous families in Nanyue.
It took him ten years to completely change the political structure in which dozens of famous families controlled at least one-third of the power of South Vietnam, and in the process, cut off at least a thousand noble heads and shed the blood of tens of thousands of people. In this process, many people speculated that he would go overboard and even collapse the country. But it turns out that Li Shihao has the strength to match his ambitions, and he succeeded!
The current Nanyue Kingdom is Li Shihao's country alone; The current Li Shihao is the most eloquent and authoritative reader among the emperors of the seven kingdoms of Kyushu!
Li Shihao has always enjoyed this absolute majesty, he is very happy to see people bow their heads in front of him, not daring to face the scene of their own eyes, one by one, perhaps, the reason why he wants to completely control the power of the country in his own hands is to make this kind of scene the norm, so that anyone has to bow to himself.
Those who dare not bow to him are not found in South Vietnam; Even if there were in the rest of the nations, it had nothing to do with him.
But today, once again, he saw people who did not bow to him.
It was a man as tall as him, with long gray hair almost up to his waist, this kind of hair was supposed to look very old, but anyone who saw this man could not think that he was old, because he had a terrifying momentum, even if it was just a slight look, it made people tremble from the bones, and they couldn't help but have the idea of wanting to run away and not dare to stand in front of him.
If it was just vicious, it would be fine, but Li Shihao clearly saw a kind of contempt from this man. He seems to be accustomed to looking down at others with a downward gaze, which is very similar to Li Shihao himself, but his kind of downward gaze is not because of power and status, but completely by his own strength
So this man called "Li Zixiao", of course, will not bow to Li Shihao. It's not because he has a reason not to bow his head, but because he hasn't thought about it at all.
"I'm here to deliver a letter." After Li Zixiao followed the chamberlain to the imperial study, the first thing he said was not to greet His Majesty the Emperor, but to explain his intention directly, "This is a letter from Mr. Yi to you."
As he spoke, he took out an ordinary-looking letter and asked the chamberlain to hand it to Li Shihao.
Li Shihao did not discuss etiquette with such a domineering figure, and opened the letter directly in front of him.
It is said that this is a very unetiquette thing, but for people like them, etiquette is nothing at all, as long as they are happy, there is nothing that cannot be done in the world.
There is really nothing special about this letter, it is just a very ordinary paper with very ordinary words written on it. If there is anything special, it is probably that the calligraphy is very good, the things said are very important, and the last payment is amazing.
The letter says three things roughly:
The first thing is that the Great Chu State is about to perish, which is due to heavenly fate; But the destruction of the Great Chu State does not mean that other countries can prosper, especially when a country is destroyed, the countercurrent generated in the fortune of heaven will be very strong, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better for Da Yue not to come out of this head and shoot the first arrow.
The second thing is that a certain sect called the Nine Swords Sect has an Immortal Dao Sect Master who has stepped into the end of the world's law. Although such an immortal would not easily meddle in the affairs of the world, just because it might make him unhappy, it would bring completely unnecessary trouble to the Great Yue Kingdom.
The third thing is that the country of Da Viet is vast and sparsely populated, and what is lacking is not land but population. Instead of considering occupying a few ports in the north of the 100,000 Great Mountains, it is better to show goodwill to the monarchs and ministers of the Great Chu State now, and when the Great Chu State is destroyed, a large number of people can be relocated to enrich the national strength. A strong national strength is the foundation of a country's existence.
Of course, there is some truth in these three articles, but Li Shihao doesn't care. He believes in his own ability, and he also believes in the strength of the Great Yue Kingdom. In his plan, the population must be grabbed, and the land must also be occupied!
So when he looked at the letter, he had a disdainful smile on his face. But when he saw the signature at the end of the letter, the disdainful smile was immediately put away and replaced with a serious and respectful color
The signature is very simple, only six words: Qinghe Yi Ji Shou.
But behind these six words, there is a figure that Li Shihao has to pay attention to and respect
The head of the princes of the Great Yue Kingdom, the Marquis of Qinghe, Yi Yi Changgong!
This Qinghe Marquis is the champion of the prince more than 60 years ago, and his age is probably close to ninety. However, he is neither a civilian nor a military attaché, but a figure with a knighthood that has never appeared, like an idle cloud and a wild crane.
In fact, the Marquis of Qinghe was an immortal.
All countries in Kyushu have the practice of giving congenital masters the title of marquis, due to the tradition of "non-royal family can not be crowned king", so the highest title that courtiers can get is generally the marquis, and the identity of the duke is generally posthumously, except for the three giants known as the "three dukes" in the Han Kingdom, the highest title that the living courtiers of the rest of the countries can get is the marquis.
Among the princes, the position of the innate masters is generally in the upper middle range. Although they are noble, unless they have other abilities besides martial arts, it is impossible to surpass the important ministers of the court.
But there is an exception to this situation, that is, there are immortals who are willing to be officials.
The situation of immortals being officials is very, very, very rare, and it is almost impossible to happen. Because the immortals pursue immortality and leisure, they don't want to have much to do with the state, even if they occasionally meddle in mundane affairs for various reasons, they will leave quickly and will not accept any rewards.
Occasionally, there are immortals who remain in the earthly court, but they often exist as a kind of guest secretary or worship of the power of reading, or they may serve as national teachers in order to spread enlightenment, and this is the limit.
However, Kyushu is so big, there are always exceptions. The most famous immortal minister in the world is the "Zhenguo Gong" of Xishu Kingdom.
The contemporary Zhenguo Gong Bai Qingyan has lived for hundreds of years. His ancestor was the Bai family who founded the country in this place in the past, and later the Bai family's dynasty declined, and the ancestors of the Bai family, who had become immortals early, descended on the red dust and ordered their descendants to abdicate and make way for Xian, and not to cause wars for personal gain. The new dynasty not only felt the Bai family's knowledge of current affairs, but also in order to show respect for the immortals, the Bai family was named the prince of Zhenguo, and later the dynasty of Xishu changed several times, but the title of the Duke of Zhenguo of the Bai family has been passed down from generation to generation, and has never been broken.
The famous Bai family of the White Emperor Pavilion among the immortal cultivators, that is, the Bai family of the Guogong of Xishu Town, which is also famous among the mortal dust. Bai Qingyan, the contemporary head of the Bai family, is not only the world-famous "swordsmith" Qingyan Zhenren, but also the world-famous Zhenguo Gongbai Gongpa.
In addition, the most written in the generation, the immortal is Wu Zhifei, the Marquis of Jishi, who is the husband of the country.
When this Marquis of Ji Shi had not yet stepped into the immortal path in the past, he had a good relationship with the Great Chu State Tian'an Emperor Xiong Du.
At that time, he was given the title of Jishihou. The Great Chu State canonized the Wu family and their relatives and friends a lot, and the Wu family and the Du and Lin families, who were brothers and sisters with them, also made a lot of contributions to the Great Chu State. Entangled with each other, even if they know that they are not real people and are famous immortals in the world, it is not easy to resign.
Over the years, Ji Shihou has stepped into the mortal world twice, and twice saved the Great Chu State in times of crisis. His brother-in-law Du Pre and brother-in-law Lin Lushan are also famous ministers of the Great Chu State.
Whenever the sons of heaven in the countries of Kyushu think of this, they have to admire that His Majesty the Tian'an Emperor, who has been dead for many years, is really far-sighted and lucky, and he has made friends with him when he knows that the real person has not yet made a career. Now the reason why the Northern Qi and the Han Dynasty are hesitant to do it is also because they are afraid that they may be inserted by non-real people (pea update)
In the past few decades, there has been a great drought in Kyushu, and hundreds of people have survived this difficult period by relying on a strange plant called "cactus" that suddenly appeared. And this strange plant was made by a real person.
This article alone has made Zhifei Zhenren admired by hundreds of people, and his reputation among the people is so high that even Li Shihao, who is high in the sky, is often blushing.
For the sake of the Great Chu State, which will be finished sooner or later, it is really not worth offending such a virtuous and respected immortal!
In addition, there is also a well-known immortal courtier, who was also a member of the imperial court before becoming an immortal, so he has never resigned from his title.
That is the champion of the Great Yue Kingdom in the past, Qinghe Hou Yiyi.
