Chapter 365: Wine and Wealth
The news of Da Chu's loss of land soon reached Fan Li's ears.
But he has four bodies that are cultivating, leaving only one doppelganger of the Jin Kingdom to deal with many affairs.
"Your Majesty!" Hu Zongxian took a step forward and reported: "The Ming Dynasty lost Hongzhou, and the Great Chu lost Xiongzhou. When the minister heard this, Emperor Jiajing personally killed the envoy of the Tang State and sent the Prince of Wanli to lead his troops to Hongzhou."
"As for Da Chu, it has been confirmed that it has been invaded by the Later Jin."
Fan Li's country name is [Jin], therefore, the ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty all refer to the Shi Jingjiao forces occupying Xiongzhou as [Later Jin].
"The envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty also appeared in the Great Chu Imperial Palace and passed down the so-called Heavenly Pilgrimage Holy Emperor's edict."
"The edict clearly states that the people of the Great Chu from Xiang Chong should all surrender to Shi Jingjiao, the son of heaven in the Later Jin Dynasty."
"Xiang Chong should abolish the throne and only retain the status of a commoner in the Later Jin Dynasty."
"As for the rest of the Great Chu courtiers, they will be demoted to civilians or demoted to employment depending on the situation."
Hu Zongxian's information was provided by Fan's firm.
Fan Li has recently cultivated into a madness, squeezing as much time as possible, and the intelligence work has also been entrusted to Hu Zongxian.
"Oh?"
Fan Li smiled when he heard this.
"Shi Jingjiao is arrogant enough?"
"He sent an envoy to convey this meaning, is it a surrender or a declaration of war?"
Fan Li believed that even if he was as wasteful as Xiang Chong, it would never be possible to accept such humiliating and harsh surrender conditions without fighting a single battle.
"When the minister heard that Xiang Chong was annoyed and ashamed, he ordered the chief eunuch to capture the envoy of the Later Jin State." Hu Zongxian said again.
"What was the result?"
At this moment, Fan Li was also interested.
"That old eunuch surnamed Chen was defeated by the envoy of the Later Jin State and was seriously injured and defeated."
"But Bai Rong, the Queen of Chu who was hiding in the shadows, seized the opportunity to sneak attack and successfully injured the other party. But the envoy of the Later Jin State was injured and retreated, and no one in the court of the Chu State could stop him."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Fan Li had a vague judgment on the strength of the envoys of the Later Jin Kingdom.
I'm afraid that he is a master of the upper grade of the Dao realm, but he may not have entered the Mahayana.
Odd.
It's really weird.
In the Heavenly Empire, Fan Li felt that even if Shi Jingjiao sent a Mahayana realm as an envoy, it should be reasonable.
And it didn't turn out that way?
Although the high-grade masters of the Merge Dao Realm are powerful, they have not yet reached the level of being able to show off their might.
Isn't the strength of the Later Jin Kingdom as strong as he thinks?
What Fan Li is most worried about is whether the three so-called Heavenly Empire Upper Kingdoms have an existence beyond the secular power and the immortal level?
"Wang Ban."
"The minister is here!"
The third generation of Guiguzi Wang class is out of the court class.
The original owner's body occupied by Fan Li is already the best among young talents, and he is rich in five cars.
But in terms of true erudition and knowledge, there are still at least two people in the world who are far above Fan Li.
one, Lu Chunqiu.
The other is Wang Ban.
"Prime Minister." Fan Li said with a serious expression: "Since the pre-Qin period, there have been records of immortals descending to earth in the world? Or is it any description of the strength of the Immortal Realm?"
He originally thought that this question would make Wang Ban embarrassed, and he couldn't even answer it.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ban answered so neatly!
"Your Majesty."
"Since the first emperor burned books, the records of ancient historical materials have almost been cut off."
"But by word of mouth, I still know far more about the Guigu lineage than the mortal family."
"The realm of immortals, which has been handed down from ancient times to the present, does not have any clear records."
"The only thing that the world knows is that immortals transcend life and death, and their longevity is indefinite."
Fan Li frowned when he heard this.
Is that all?
Immortality, longevity and heaven?
He shook his head: "Ladies and gentlemen, if a person becomes an immortal and enjoys eternal life, his cultivation will increase
To what horror is it?"
The monarchs and ministers have the same heart, and Wang Ban, Hu Zongxian and others all know that their majesty still has something to say.
Fan Li continued: "Shi Jingjiao, Li Yu and others were all figures of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and if they had risen to immortality at that time, thousands of years had passed. Why did the envoy they sent end up with one dead and one wounded?"
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately pointed out the crux of the problem.
Emperor Jiajing killed the envoy of the Tang State with one blow, and Bai Rong's sneak attack succeeded in the envoy of the Jin Dynasty, which is too strange.
Aren't the envoys of the two countries immortals who crossed the gate of heaven and descended into the world?
"Fairy...... Can't you cultivate?" Huang Longshi muttered quietly.
Hu Zongxian shook his head when he heard this: "If the immortal realm can't cultivate, isn't it even inferior to the human world? What's more, the immortal immortal longevity is enough to prove that the immortal realm is far superior to the human world."
"Oh, yes." Huang Longshi nodded.
Fan Li also had a wry smile on his face.
He found himself throwing out an unsolvable question, how can mortals know the secrets of immortals?
Unless, ask an immortal?
"Huh?"
"Is there really a dynasty here?"
"Hee-hee-hee!"
"There are two cities, but the palace of Jinluan is built with great splendor and extraordinary weather."
"Really...... The sparrows are small, and they have all the organs!"
Fan Li was talking when he suddenly felt a gentle and charming laughter echoing in the sky outside the hall.
Although this laughter was sweet and could hook the men's thoughts, the faint cultivation was so high that even Wang Ban's expression became serious.
"Your Majesty, be careful, it's the Mahayana realm!" Wang Ban reminded.
"Got it."
Fan Li nodded, holding the [Son of Heaven Sword] in one hand and the [Heirloom Jade Seal] in the other.
Since his cultivation reached the Yuan Infant Realm, he could barely control these two magic weapons.
Especially when used as a protective body, the effect is excellent.
However, there is a huge gap between Yuanying and the Mahayana realm, and Fan Li thinks about it and feels that the two magic weapons of the Son of Heaven protect him at all.
"Thankfully, it's just a clone."
As soon as this thought came to mind, I saw a beautiful woman descending from the sky outside the Jinluan Palace.
There is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and she is proud and does not let her eyebrows be shaved!
The woman is boldly dressed, and her sex appeal is more than the Holy Lord of the Pure Land.
Fan Li suddenly felt that her clothes were very similar to the Tang Dynasty women's clothes recorded in the pre-history books.
"Who's outside the palace?" Fan Li asked loudly.
"Huh?"
The beautiful woman had a smile in her eyes, and her gaze swept over everyone in the hall one by one.
Gradually, her gaze became solemn.
"You ...... Not bad."
Is this an endorsement or a disparagement?
Fan was shocked!
What kind of strength do you have to have to be able to just give a 'good' comment after examining Wang Ban, Hu Zongxian and others one by one?
"You're the Emperor?" The woman said to Fan Li again, "With such a weak cultivation, you can actually make these people surrender? It seems that you are not only handsome, but also really a character."
"Presumptuous!"
Hu Zongxian and the others scolded in unison, but Fan Li waved his hand to stop.
People should not be underestimated.
Fan Li's cultivation realm has always been low, and it is common for him to be despised by others.
However, after this woman saw through her cultivation at a glance, she recognized it quite a bit.
Just this insight shows that women are extraordinary.
"This official ...... Shangguan Wan'er, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was ordered by the Holy Emperor to gather four outstanding people, [Wine], [Color], [Wealth], and [Qi], to serve the Holy Emperor."
The woman reported herself to the door.
The name, Fan Li is extremely familiar!
"You!"
Shangguan Wan'er pointed at Fan Li in the air.
"To be qualified to be one of the Four Greats, yes
He went with him."
