016, Danzhu's request (below)
Shao Wu took out the jade proverb that Danzhu Tuolu Zhang carried, and everyone looked around, this Ba Jun's face was a little unsightly, and he slowly spoke: "Emperor Danzhu is far away in the land of China, but the things he wants are very detailed, Wufu Qiu's armor and sword talisman, Changlingmen's Bigu Pill, Meng Yingqiu's soul devouring smoke, these are just that, there are even runes on the top of the cool breeze!"
When Hou Liao was still alive, Mr. Yuandeng, the sect leader of Liangfengding, secretly supported Huiliang's plot to kill Shaowu, and after the conspiracy was revealed, he vowed not to leave Liangfengding for the rest of his life, and all the Liangfengding disciples have been extremely low-key for more than ten years. Mr. Yuan Lantern is good at making secret treasure runes, and in the later national war, he also refined a batch of secret treasures to dedicate to Shaowu.
Mr. Yuan Deng did this not for himself, but for the sake of his disciples and the people of his tribe, if he contributed to the country of Ba, Ba Jun would not embarrass them in the future.
Although Mr. Round Lantern is good at refining secret treasures, his methods cannot be compared with Tiger Baby, and the number and power of the runes presented are very limited, and they cannot play a decisive role on the battlefield, so Shaowu did not use these runes.
As for the secret treasure of Soul Eater Smoke, it is very vicious, the attack range is large and difficult to control, and it is easy to accidentally injure innocents, so Shaowu is not used on the battlefield.
In fact, the secret treasures refined by the masters are not used to kill enemies on the battlefield, but most of them are given to the younger disciples for self-defense. Danzhu actually asked for so many kinds of secret treasures, and even mentioned something as unpopular as the Cool Breeze Top Rune Stone, obviously someone has specially collected information for many years, and even has a lot of secrets that ordinary people cannot know, so it is strange that Shaowu's face can be good-looking.
Hou Gang smiled bitterly: "This is not surprising, although ordinary people can't go back and forth between Bayuan and China, they can't stop the world's masters. For example, my master can come and go freely, and he has his own way to inquire about the situation.
Since the master was able to bring me to Ba Yuan and stay here for many years, then there are no other people like me in Ba Yuan, and it is not difficult to collect all kinds of information and even secret information.
The masters of the land of China knew that there was Ba Yuan early. The information obtained by Emperor Danzhu may come from the imperial capital, and in some cases, it may be brought back by my master, depending on the intentions of the person who heard it. ”
Beidao frowned and said: "The high-grade armor made by Wufuqiu, he wants as much as he wants, and he still wants Ba Jun to send spirit beast cavalry and flying army array, is this trying to rebel?
Shaowu shook his head and said, "I also know some about the situation in China, which is different from Ba Yuan. Even when Ba Yuan was divided into five kingdoms. The cities and tribes are still directly under the rule of the king, and it is of course taboo to hoard such a large number of armor and materials privately.
However, the land of China is vast, and there are many subject countries and tribes around it that only serve the Son of Heaven as the co-master, but the affairs within the territory are still autonomously, some tribes are strong and strong, and some are small and poor, these are all good things for them.
Moreover, Emperor Danzhu did not specify the quantity, only said that the more the better, and he could equip his personal guards with these armor and materials. It can also be used as a reward, and it can also be turned to the Son of Heaven, which is not a prohibition. Listening to Lu Zhang, the Jiuli tribes moved to the southwest. The situation of living in the wilderness was difficult, and there were fights between them, and some tribes did not submit to the rule of the Son of Heaven.
In recent years, flooding has been frequent. There are also big demons such as snake repairers and nine babies as disasters. Danzhu was ordered by the Son of Heaven to tour the south, and he was already responsible for declaring grace, demonstrating, counterinsurgency, disaster relief, and killing demons. The situation of the Jiuli departments is different and needs to be dealt with separately. This is not only a test but also an opportunity for him. If Danzhu has the intention to expand the power of his headquarters, he will be a combination of grace and power, and try his best to subdue the Jiuli tribes for his own use.
There are often battles between the Jiuli tribes, and the same is true between the subjects of the Son of Heaven, if I do my best to provide such materials, even if I add the spirit beast cavalry and the flying battle array, I am afraid that it will not be enough for him to rebel in the land of China. But a wise man has a better choice, and with the help of this, it is enough to influence the dispute between the ministries, so that the ministries have something to ask, and he can choose the strong and the loyal to serve. ”
Shaowu is the monarch, and he certainly stands very high from the perspective of looking at problems. The various parts of China were divided into factions, and there were often fights between the large tribes and vassals, and the Son of Heaven was the mediator in the middle. Danzhu inspected the ministries on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and this was a good opportunity for him to establish his authority.
What Danzhu asked for from Ba Jun may not be anything in the eyes of the Chinese Emperor, but if it is in the hands of Danzhu himself, it will be enough to change the balance of the situation between many subject countries and tribes. For example, there are two competitions, and whoever Danzhu wants to support can let whoever win.
In this case, Danju can choose one side of the faction to serve him, and better yet, mediate the dispute between the two sides, so that both sides will listen to him, appreciate him, and be included in his faction.
Although Ba Jun cannot be compared with the Son of Heaven of China, except for the Son of Heaven, it is impossible for any subordinate tribe or subject state in the land of China to have so many and such important strategic resources as Ba Guo. If you have mastered these resources, it will be a great help to win in the land of China.
What is Danzhu fighting for? Di Yao is 92 years old this year, and he has been on the throne of the Son of Heaven for more than 70 years, and all the Chinese ministries are considering the issue of the heir to the Son of Heaven. There are many sons of Di Yao, but the next son of heaven may not be the son of Di Yao.
The Zen throne system is nominally a leader jointly elected by each ministry, and it is a virtuous monarch who is recognized by everyone and has both ability and political integrity. But in fact, the successor must meet several conditions, one of which is that he must be born in a clan, such as the Chinese Son of Heaven, and those who are qualified to receive Zen should be a descendant of Xuanyuan.
Another condition does not need to be explicitly stated, it has been agreed since ancient times. In the era of the barbarian tribes, the selection of the patriarch or leader, of course, must choose the smartest and most powerful one, such as Ruoshan back then, which is how he became the patriarch of Lu Village. In small tribes, individual wisdom and force are important, but in large tribal confederations, it evolves into the power they possess.
Those who received Zen in various countries are not necessarily the sons of the monarchs, such as Fan Chong Dai Fan Kang, Zimo Dai Gong Yang, and Hongzhu Dynasty Tricky Gu in Ba Yuan, and the new monarch has won the support of the largest forces in the country, which is also conducive to the stability of the political transition.
But in the vast majority of cases, the leader of a tribal alliance himself represents the largest tribal power in the alliance, and he will personally appoint and train heirs, such as Shaowu to inherit the position of Hou Di.
Therefore, under the ancient Zen system, the transmission of father to son is still the most common situation. The sons of kings or tribal leaders are often many, and the throne is not to be passed on to the eldest, but to the wisest, the most robust, and the one who has the most support and support among them. On the one hand, it depends on the successor's own ability and talent, and on the other hand, it also depends on the cultivation of the parents.
Danzhu is said to be the most outstanding of the sons of Emperor Yao, just in his early thirties, and he also has a great cultivation, and he has gained a lot of support among the factional forces directly under the Son of Heaven Emperor Yao himself. But this alone was not enough, and Danzhu did not have a good reputation among the various tribes that belonged to the land of China, and did not have any commendable achievements.
After Emperor Yan annexed to the Yellow Emperor, the Siyue, Lieshan, and Jiuli tribes to which the descendants of Emperor Yan belonged became an important force for factional contention in the country, because they were distributed over a wide area, and their population and products combined were also very large. With this as a background, Danju's plan can be clearly seen.
Xuan Yuan suddenly spoke: "I think that when Ba Jun succeeded to the throne, there was actually no one in the country who could fight, and those who wanted to compete for the throne such as Zhong Lan and those who would be good could only collude with foreign enemies and make assassination methods. Danzhu is not only the emperor's son, but also can go out on patrol on behalf of the Son of Heaven, which shows that his position is stable, as long as he is cautious and correct, why is there such an urgent plan?"
Hou Gang still smiled bitterly: "Sect Master Xuanyuan doesn't know, the Yellow Emperor's lineage is special, and it is not passed from father to son according to convention. Shao Hao is located in Gaoyang, Gao Yang is not the son of Shao Hao, and Gao Yang is located in Gaoxin, and Gao Xin is not the son of Gao Yang.
But today's Emperor Yao is the son of Emperor Jun of the Gaoxin clan, which is already a mess of the rules, but after all, there is a reason for it, and there is also my master in the middle of the temporary reign of the emperor's seal. But when it comes to Di Yao himself passing on the throne, I am afraid that it will be difficult to openly break the rules again.
And the emperor's son Danzhu, precisely because he saw that his father Di Yao inherited the position of his ancestor Di Jun, so he had hope in his heart, so he also wanted to fight. ”
Shao Wu asked with great interest: "You haven't mentioned these situations before, can you elaborate on them?"
Hou Gang: "It's a family affair of the Son of Heaven, and I don't want to talk about it outside." But today, since Ba Jun wants to ask, then I will say more. ...... Xuanyuan Sect Master, I heard that you were born in the Yilang branch of the Baizhi clan, so do you know where the Gaoyang Heavenly Emperor was born back then?"
Xuan Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, why do you ask this?"
Hou Gang sighed and said: "Gaoyang Heavenly Emperor was born in the territory of Yilang City, Bayuan, and lived in seclusion with his father on the shore of the water. ”
Everyone was taken aback and asked, "How is this possible?"
Shaowu was even more surprised: "When Emperor Gaoyang was in power, the first monarch Yanzhao had already entered Ba Yuan, and there was already a country of Ba in Ba Yuan. How is it that I have never heard that he was born in Pakistan?"
Hou Gang waved his hand and said, "Ba Jun is not in a hurry, listen to me explain slowly." Although Emperor Gaoyang was born in the territory of today's Yilang City, there was no Yilang City in Bayuan at that time......"
Pakistan was not built in a day. At that time, Yan Zhao led the people into Ba Yuan, rested in Baiju City, and finally came to the plain in the center of Ba Yuan to settle, built the original Ba Du City, and then pacified and subdued the Ba Yuan tribes that were still in the wilderness step by step, after nearly a hundred years of father and son generations, Ba gradually became a scale, and extended the scope of rule to the entire Ba Yuan.
There are now more than 70 castles on Ba Yuan, all of which were gradually formed later. The Bai-Forehead clan living on the east coast is known as the descendants of Shaohao, and the city of Yilang where they live was still a fishing village three hundred years ago, and later developed into a market town, and gradually formed a city outline more than two hundred years ago.
At the time of the birth of Emperor Gaoyang, there was no Yilang City on Ba Yuan, and the scope of Ba Guo's rule had not yet extended to that corner. The source of this matter can be traced back to the sons of Emperor Xuanyuan vying for the throne. (To be continued.) )
