Chapter 1301: Special Candidates
To tell the truth, having laid down such a big country as Qianlan, of course, it was necessary for Yue Luoning, the Moon King, to come and preside over the situation in person.
Although the minister of the Moon Kingdom had already received the battle report, he still couldn't believe it was true.
Many people feel that it is a dream, after all, the process is too fast and the harvest is too big. This made them feel a little confused and didn't know how to deal with it.
Yue Luoning saw all this completely in her eyes, she knew very well that although the Moon Kingdom had become strong after receiving the help of the Sword Sect and the Ten Fang Lou, the ministers of the Moon Country had not yet been accustomed to treating themselves as the masters of a strong country for the time being.
In their bones, they still have the mentality of a small country and a small people.
And now, they are like beggars who have received a windfall overnight, and they don't know how to deal with the sudden arrival of wealth.
Of course, this mentality is very bad, and Yue Luoning can only hope that time will be reversed little by little.
She knew that not only the ministers in the palace, but also the people of the Moon Country.
And during this time, she herself was also busy with another big thing, that is, negotiations with Qingchuan.
The persuasion of Qingchuan to surrender was not smooth in the first place, after all, it was a country whose territory was not much smaller than that of the Moon Country. It would have been impossible for them to give up their resistance and surrender directly.
But with the emergence of Shifanglou in the Qianlan War, coupled with the rapid demise of Qianlan, Qingchuan Junchen was no longer willing in his heart, and he couldn't help but consider this proposal.
Like Nanqi, who can you count on Zixing's assistance, who can Qingchuan count on, they have the Moon Kingdom to the west, Tianhe to the north, Qingyue Forest to the south, and the sea to the east, so there is no chance to seek outside assistance at all.
If he resists, Qingchuan will suffer a baptism of war, and it will be impossible to stop the soldiers of the Moon Kingdom. That's okay, the key is that these ministers are likely to be stabbed to death before they die in the country.
Moreover, resistance and surrender, although they are both ruined countries, even if they survive in the end, the status they get is probably different.
How huge is this kind of thing to receive a country, this matter has to be presided over by Luo Ning himself. To put it bluntly, this is actually a war, but it is happening at the negotiating table.
Therefore, in the end, those who went to Qianlan to help Lin Si, except for Prime Minister Yang Yu and more than 100 senior officials in the DPRK and China, there were only a large number of middle- and lower-level officials.
However, before these people left, Yue Luoning added another person, and that was Tang Xiaozhi.
Tang Xiaozhi is Yue Luoning's assistant, helping her look through the folding files, putting forward opinions, and occasionally helping to draft a will. Although this position is similar to a clerical and does not have much arbitrary power, after all, it is a person who accompanies the king every day, and it is actually another form of prime minister.
Because she had the experience of the northern fiefdom, she was now in a good position.
And the ministers of the DPRK and China, even Yue Luoning, the queen, accepted it, and naturally there were not many people to oppose her, a female official. After all, Tang Xiaozhi has another layer of identity, that is, Lin Si's wife.
Tang Xiaozhi's ability was already worthy of the position of imperial order, who would have nothing to do to run to make a statement, let Yue Luoning dismiss her, and then make Lin Si and Yue Luoning unhappy at the same time?
But this time, Yue Luoning asked her to go to Qianlan to help Lin Si deal with government affairs, which surprised her.
Originally, Tang Xiaozhi thought that she would not let herself go, after all, many places in Yue Luoning were good, but there was one thing that was very harsh, that is, she didn't want Lin Tang and the others to indulge in their children's private affairs.
In Yue Luoning's eyes, Lin Si and Tang Xiaozhi are extremely important generals and courtiers of the Yue Kingdom, she doesn't want to see these two people put their minds on those irrelevant places, always thinking about pleasure and what kind of love and love, so that they can't do their best for the court and the Yue Kingdom wholeheartedly.
She knows very well that although these two people are talented, they are both unambitious. The reason why Lin Si was able to be where he is today, in addition to his innate cultivation and command talent, was just that external pressure and danger forced him to work hard.
When Mu Zheping and Nie He and the others were there, the northern fiefdom was already strong enough, but because the situation seemed comfortable at that time and there was no danger, he didn't want to do anything, he just planned to guard the fief and wait for death.
If it weren't for a series of changes later, he would probably still be a free prince in that fiefdom, and he wouldn't think about what to do on his own initiative.
Although he took the initiative to take over the banner of foreign conquest and expansion, he seemed ambitious, but it was only because the surrounding countries had invaded and dealt with the Moon Country back then, and the pressure of the Xuanluo Continent forced him to quickly improve the strength of the Moon Kingdom.
To put it bluntly, he didn't suddenly become very ambitious, he was just taking revenge and beware of the more powerful enemies on the Xuanluo Continent like the Jianghu people.
Yue Luoning knows her younger brother very well, and she also sees Tang Xiaozhi thoroughly enough.
She made her a royal commander, she never complained, and she always seemed conscientious and never slack, but she only did it because she felt that she wanted to help her man as much as possible, and try not to hold him back.
Deep down, she and Lin Si are looking forward to ending all the wars as soon as possible, and then throwing away the burden on their shoulders and living a small life of living and flying.
If it can be replaced, then Yue Luoning will never use Lin Si and Tang Xiaozhi, two people who are not enterprising in their bones, even if they are very talented, but what Yueguo needs now is to expand and improve, and what is needed is ambition.
What's more, that kind of heart and attitude, people like her are extremely disgusted. If the other courtiers made any secluded gestures in front of her that they did not like mundane affairs, she would never say a word and withdraw them directly.
But unfortunately, these two people cannot be replaced at all.
Regardless of his identity strength or his ability to lead troops, Lin Si is an indispensable figure in the Moon Kingdom. And except for Tang Xiaozhi, she can't trust anyone else as a royal order.
In that case, you can only forcibly turn them into what you want. Anyway, for a king, the most important talent is to be able to use people, and be good at controlling courtiers, isn't it?
Lin Si and Tang Xiaozhi have special identities, she can't force them directly, and the way she chooses is very simple, which is to separate these two places.
In her opinion, as long as these two stay together, it is easy to wear each other's minds to each other.
Let Lin Si fight outside, and then tie Tang Xiaozhi to his side, so that after the two are separated, they can use their talents without distractions and serve the Moon Kingdom.
Tang Xiaozhi's mind is so alert, what Yue Luoning thinks, she actually knows it clearly.
She was helpless about this, and now there were still many battles to be fought in the Moon Country, Lin Si and Bingyun were both fighting on the front line, and of course she had to help them create a rear that was as stable as possible.
Because of this, although she saw Yue Luoning's intentions, she never complained.
This time, he sent someone to Qianlan, and he was not an indispensable candidate. With Lin Si in charge of the overall situation there, after Prime Minister Yang Yu and others went, it was enough to help him sort out the situation.
But Yue Luoning just named herself, which made her a little puzzled.
"Why did you send me this time?" Before leaving, she was in the study in the palace, and finally couldn't help but ask this question directly.
Although there is a distinction between her and Yue Luoning as a courtier and a king, perhaps because they once looked at each other unpleasantly, and because Mingcheng has worked together for so long, the way of getting along has not changed much.
If this Moon King was Moon Mountain, then Tang Xiaozhi would definitely tremble, and she didn't dare to take a breath, but in the case of Yue Luoning, she had no awe at all.
In her mind, Yue Luoning has no majesty at all, and there is nothing to be afraid of, she doesn't need to have any scruples when she speaks, and she doesn't need to care too much about her feelings.
In this regard, I'm afraid that even Lin Si won't be able to do it to her level.
"Why, you don't want to go? Yue Luoning replied to her without raising her head.
Although she knew that Yue Luoning was deliberately playing tricks on herself, Tang Xiaozhi still hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, no, I'm just asking, as the Moon King, how can you change your order?"
As for Yue Luoning's temper, she also felt it very clearly. If she says whatever you want, then she will really change people.
"You wonder why I want to separate the two of you, but why did I let you meet this time?" Yue Luoning put down the pen and paper in her hand, squinted her eyes with interest, and looked Tang Xiaozhi up and down.
"That's it, haven't you always been at ease, how did you change sex this time?" Tang Xiaozhi muttered quietly.
"What did you say?" Yue Luoning's face sank, and suddenly the atmosphere in the study became solemn.
She is a Yuan Realm cultivator, and although Tang Xiaozhi's voice is small, she can't hide it from her.
It would have made her furious if other ministers had spoken to her like this, for it was a frivolous remark against the king.
However, Tang Xiaozhi was obviously used to it, she just covered her mouth with a frustrated face: "Oops, have you been heard again?"
This woman, it must be on purpose!
Yue Luoning gritted her teeth, although she was also used to Tang Xiaozhi's way of getting along, and even felt that it was a good thing to have such a outspoken courtier around her who dared to anger her.
But how can this woman be so hateful sometimes?
"The reason why I let you go is very simple, his achievements this time are too outstanding, and I can still add officials to the knighthood and reward gold and silver property. But he is already a very popular minister, and there is nothing to reward at all, so I can only send you to reward him. ”
She glanced at Tang Xiaozhi lightly, as if she was deliberately angry with her, and added: "You are just an item I use to reward meritorious officials, and you are not grateful?"
Tang Xiaozhi glanced at her angrily and funny, it was obviously a thing that made both herself and Lin Si happy, why was it so ugly when it came out of her mouth?
"Then I'll thank Your Majesty, and I'll go home and pack up if it's okay. She bent down without respect, and turned to get out of here.
"Slow!"
Yue Luoning's voice came from behind her, and Tang Xiaozhi knew very well that her real intention was probably what she was going to say next.
"You and he are husband and wife, you ......"
"What are we?"
"Cough!" Yue Luoning showed an unprecedented look of embarrassment that she wanted to say and stopped, but in the end, she still forced herself to continue: "There are three unfilial pieties, and there is no queen, so you can do it yourself." ”
Tang Xiaozhi opened her mouth, only thinking that she had heard it wrong. But Yue Luoning had quickly sat back at the desk, as if she had instantly thrown herself into the government affairs in front of her.
