Three days later, the empress, who had been bedridden for many days, improved her condition and returned to the Qiankun Palace.

It was a Japanese meeting, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty saw that the empress was full of energy, full of energy, and her body was much better, and they couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and they all said that God blessed Dachu, and the emperor was auspicious, and her longevity was boundless.

Immediately afterwards, the empress promulgated a series of political measures.

Among them is the most important military restructuring, which requires the four regiments of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, as well as the military towns of all routes, to be inspected and assessed every year, and to be rotated for three years.

The purpose was to prevent a situation similar to that in the south, and it was also to further weaken the control of the king of Nanning over the south.

Jingcha, rotation, if it is once in a while, everyone can still accept it.

But if it becomes the norm from now on, it will shake the interests of many people.

Originally, the empress planned to wait for the death of King Nanning before implementing this policy, but now her time is running out, and some things must be advanced.

Fortunately, now the Northern Army is still firmly in the hands of her cronies, and she has also made corresponding concessions with the high-level of the eastern military town in advance.

In the end, the military reform strategy was supported by the majority of the people, and a few thorns who jumped out to oppose it were killed, and the remaining ones could no longer control the overall situation.

The implementation of the military reform has also made the south feel a strong threat, and it is rumored that there has been a trend of frequent mobilization of troops and horses in various towns recently.

Because everyone understands that weakening the military power is only the first step, and next, Your Majesty is afraid that he will have to bring up the old matter again and start to cut the feudal domain.

Naturally, the king of Nanning could not sit still, and the other vassal kings were also in fear.

But no one expected it.

At this time, the emperor did not mention the matter of cutting the feudal domain again, but made a decision that no one expected.

She was to make a royal tour of the south, inspect the reconstruction and recovery of the southern towns after the war, and inspect and reward the southern army.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked.

Everyone knows that in the past few years, the empress and the king of Nanning have been suspicious, and at this time, she is in danger with her golden body.

If the other party has the intention to make trouble, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

Everyone was advising the emperor not to be so tired, but the empress seemed to have made up her mind, and after deciding to tour the south, she took this opportunity to appoint the prince of Jin Huang to supervise the country and officially pushed him to the front of the stage.

In this regard, Su Chen saw it thoroughly.

Now that the situation is sensitive, the emperor personally patrolled the south in order to strengthen his control over the south and deter those other military towns from being coerced by the king of Nanning.

At the same time, she drove the patrol in person, and the world attracted attention.

The king of Nanning didn't dare to do anything to her at such a time, and even asked the empress to be safe and sound.

Otherwise, as long as the empress dies in the south, he will be infamous for killing the king, and the whole world will condemn him, and he will not want to win orthodoxy again in this life.

After all, no matter how strong the military strength of the south is, it is not enough to forcibly subdue the entire world.

Of course, there are risks associated with this.

First, the empress is not in the imperial capital, and the prince of Jin is young, I am afraid that some things will be mishandled, and secondly, it is not excluded that there will be ambitious people who will make a hindrance from it, attack and kill the royal driver, and thus blame the trouble.

Under normal circumstances, the empress would not use such a risky trick.

But now she has little time left, so she can only cut through the mess quickly.

This southern tour, the royal car is in person, which can suppress the situation in the south, and at the same time, let the prince of Jin really start governing the country, and when he ascends the throne in the future, he will not be in a hurry.

"If you love your son, you have far-reaching plans."

Su Chen was lying on the recliner in the courtyard, sighing softly, and a wooden eye was being carved with a carving knife in his hand.

The major affairs of the family and the country have their own emperor to worry about.

What I should do has been done, and the next thing is to do my best to obey the destiny of heaven, those big people are fighting for me, how to live your own small life, how to live.

After several years of polishing, his puppet has been preliminarily completed.

Just to keep improving, Su Chen planned to get another eyeball for it.

While the puppet doesn't rely on its eyes to lock onto its target, it is at least pleasing to the eye.

"That's it."

After a while, Su Chen brushed off the sawdust on his body, stretched out his hand and shook the copper bell next to him.

Immediately after, the door opened, and a puppet with an almost identical silhouette to himself walked out slowly.

Its whole body is made of rare steel and wood, the strength is comparable to fine iron, the chest, back and limbs are engraved with spirit control runes, and the joints of the meridians are inlaid with Sanskrit Buddhist beads, and the appearance is coated with a layer of Su Chen's special medicinal juice, which can prevent fire and insects.

After so many years of transformation and improvement, the puppet is very flexible in its movements, and can walk and move its limbs like a normal person.

Not only that, but under the drive and control of the spirit control talisman, it can also make various attack actions according to the owner's instructions.

Su Chen got up and put the last eyeball into his socket.

Then he took another prepared black robe, put it on the puppet, and looked left and right, and there was a feeling of being real and fake.

Of course.

The puppet he's spent so many years building isn't just a stand-in.

I saw him shake the copper bell, and the puppet's eyes suddenly bloomed with golden light, and the power of the sun's brilliance gathered flowed around his body through dense rune tracks, just like the tendons and veins of the human body.

Immediately afterwards, the eighteen Buddha beads in the body flickered, turning into a golden light curtain, covering the puppet's whole body, as if it was cast in gold and iron.

Boom –

It stepped out in one step, and the air waves under its feet sprayed, and it instantly swept a distance of several feet, and then slammed into the rockery in the distance with a fierce punch.

The terrifying force shocked and shook, and the Qinggang stone the size of the table top shattered in response.

Su Chen tried to condense his mana again, and a fierce sword qi burst out from his fingertips, stabbing at the puppet, and a crisp sound came immediately, and the sword qi penetrated the golden light of the body protection on its body, and fell on the surface of the body, leaving only a shallow white mark.

"Not bad. Although I didn't comprehend the golden body of the old monk of Jingyun Temple from the Buddha beads, I can use the runes to absorb the sun's rays to drive the Buddha beads, and the effect is similar to that of a real person. ”

"This puppet, in terms of strength and defense alone, is no longer inferior to the master of the marrow refining master, but it lacks internal strength and change, and the means are relatively few. But it is still easy to suppress ordinary martial arts masters. ”

Su Chen was very satisfied.

After all, it was the first puppet created by himself, and it had a strength comparable to that of a half-step innate strength, which was already very good.

Su Chen gave it a name, called King Kong.

In the future, when he is not there, King Kong can guard his home, encounter some dangerous situations, he can also use it to explore the way, and he can also be used as a helper at critical moments.

"It's better to get it another part that simulates vocalization, and something that conducts thoughts. In this case, it is even more perfect as a stand-in. Even as a low-profile version of the incarnation outside the body. ”

Su Chen thought in his heart.

Anyway, he has time, and it's fun to tinker with these gadgets when he's fine, and maybe he'll use them one day.

"Tick-"

A sharp whistling sound came from overhead.

Su Chen raised his hand, and Kun Luo landed steadily on his arm.

Six years have passed, Kunluo has grown stronger, and at the age of eight, it is the most energetic age of Hai Dongqing.

And because Su Chen often fed it some Qi and Blood Pills, its body looked much stronger than its peers, and it seemed to have a tendency to continue to grow.

It may have something to do with the other half of its bloodline.

Su Chen had already noticed this, Kunluo was different from his mother, he not only had the blood of Hai Dongqing in his body, but also had some characteristics of Peng Bird.

It may have something to do with its father.

But unfortunately, Su Chen has not seen it.

"Good work."

Su Chen reached out and took down the letter from Kunluo's feet, then fed a Qi and Blood Pill as usual, and let it go to play by itself.

After Lao Hai Dongqing's death, Kunluo has not been in a very good mood, and most of the time he flies to the mountains by himself except for coming back to deliver letters normally.

Perhaps, I want to find the traces left by my mother.

Su Chen also understood.

grabbed a handful of melon seeds and sat back on the chair, while the puppet King Kong was sweeping the yard under his command.

In recent years, the business of Tsing Yi Lou is still booming, and it has become the most famous Goolan in the east of the city, and countless dignitaries and talented people are famous.

There is also a monthly contest dedicated to the Oiran competition.

Those who can be rated as Oiran by Tsing Yi Lou are all talented women with outstanding appearance, and they have attracted the attention of dignitaries and nobles, and they spend a lot of money, just to ask for a smile from the beauty.

Therefore, Tsing Yi Lou has gained a lot of money, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily progress.

Such a big piece of fat meat has naturally attracted the covetousness of many people.

However, the current Zhang Mingyuan is also regarded as the No. 1 figure in the imperial capital, firmly in control of the city guards, sitting on tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and is also one of the few real power figures at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Of course, when it comes to Su Chen's current realm, he doesn't care much about money anymore.

In the early years, I thought about using the money to do something else.

Later, I felt troublesome, so I simply didn't bother to take care of it, so I invested part of the money in Zhang Mingyuan's Tuogu Temple to help adopt homeless orphans, and selected some qualified children from them, and secretly cultivated them as dead soldiers.

The past few years have also paid off.

Su Chen was planning to take some time to go over and take a look for himself.

The rest of the money was through the channels of the city guards, and they invested in Wanbao Pavilion, not to make money, but to collect information and news more conveniently through Wanbao Pavilion's channels throughout the country.

In the past few years, Su Chen has asked the chambers of commerce of Tsing Yi Lou and Wanbao Pavilion to secretly investigate all kinds of strange things all over the country.

Especially some of the things mentioned in the original ghost fox biography, after many verifications, most of them are real examples that have happened.

Su Chen wanted to find more news about the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Although I won't set foot in a short period of time, I can also send someone to explore the way or something like knowing in advance.

But alas.

So far, no practical clues have been found.

"It's another piece of news, and it's of little value."

Su Chen shook his head, and a golden flame immediately rose in his palm, burning the letter to ashes.

Then he stood up and stretched.

Today's weather is good, just go out of the palace and take a walk, just go to Natuogu Temple to see.
