027, Bo Yi and Chonghua (II)
On his southern tour, Danzhu brought three of the most important officials with him from the imperial capital Pingyang: among them, Lu Zhang was a ceremonial official who had been sent to Ba Yuan to canonize Ba Jun; Bo Yi was a war general who had always followed Dan Zhu and could ensure Danzhu's safety no matter what danger he had; and Chonghua was a magistrate who was responsible for handling various affairs.
With Danzhu's identity, he can't do everything himself, not to mention that this emperor has a comfortable temperament, and he doesn't like to worry about too many complicated and trivial things, and many specific affairs are handed over to Chonghua to take care of.
Danzhu smiled and said, "You're back, this trip is hard, how are things going?"
Chonghua replied: "You are a Chinese angel who inspected Jiuli on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the Shanli Department did not dare to be disrespectful, and asked me to bring back a lot of gifts." But they made a lot of demands, some of which may have ulterior motives. ”
Danzhu opened his mouth and said: "What are the requirements, you might as well talk about them one by one." ”
Chonghua: "At that time, the great witch princes of the Qili and Muli tribes were also present, according to these three people, the Jiuli tribes were convicted and migrated far away, and they moved to the sinister land of the Southern Wilderness to atone for their sins, and now it has been hundreds of years. Please ask the Chinese Son of Heaven to abandon the previous gap, and the Chinese people will no longer be hostile to the Li people. ”
Danju: "That's no problem, I've already made a promise. ...... If the great witch princes of each department are sincerely attached, they can be given a title by the Son of Heaven and receive their fiefs, referring to the current Siyue Department. ”
Chonghua: "There are great demons rampant in the land of Nanli, and there are even evil cultivators who have been exiled from the land of China, and they occupy important places to kill the people of Li. The Jiuli tribes asked the Son of Heaven to send a master to kill the demons and save the people from suffering. ”
Dan Zhu sighed and said: "I already knew about this matter, and before I was ordered to leave the imperial capital, my father and the emperor had specially told me, otherwise how could Lord Bo Yi follow me here?"
Some of the so-called evil cultivators were the masters who were banished to the wilderness many years ago or their descendants, and the emperors of the past generations had made them swear that they would never return to the land of China to cause trouble. But after Jiuli moved south, he met them in the southern wilderness. These people come from complex backgrounds and act unscrupulously. Indeed, there have been many acts of cruelty to the people of Lebanon.
As for those big demons who are making trouble, some are demon cultivators in the wilderness, some are monsters worshiped by some tribes in Jiuli, and there are even demon beasts and poisonous insects cultivated and driven by their ancestors, but in the end they are out of control and occupy important places for harm. This time, they want to use our hands to sweep away all these disasters, and they also want to test whether we have the strength. ”
Bo Yi sneered: "As long as they ask for help, I'm afraid that they won't ask for it! No matter what kind of great demon cultivator, to me, it's just an arrow to kill." If it is a demon that they worship or collude with. If you want to test us with it, we can take the opportunity to cut it off and make it lose our reliance, and if not, it will do it to the people.
Previously, it was not without masters who went deep into the southern wilderness to eliminate the harm, but the wilderness is vast and the traces of demons and evil are difficult to find. If you only kill one or two, it won't have much effect, and there will be other demons and evil spirits that will appear and occupy the original territory.
Those big demons are good to say, there is always a general territory, and those evil cultivators are secretive, and they often go away from other places to cause trouble. I'll come back when the limelight passes. If I do so, I must know in advance where they are entrenched, so that I can clean them up as much as I can with one blow. Lest the Jiuli tribes always talk about things like this!"
Chonghua took out a roll of animal skins, stepped forward and spread it out on the case, and said, "I have already thought of this, so when they made this request, I asked them to provide detailed information. Including which path to go to the depths of the Southern Wilderness to eliminate demons. What villages can be settled, and where are those demons and demons on weekdays?
Since the Jiuli tribe asked the angel to take action, they should send their people to monitor the movements of these demons. Provide timely updates. If we find those demons and fail to kill them, it means that we don't have the strength. But according to the clues they provided, they failed to stop those demons, so it is not that we are not subject to the covenant.
I also took advantage of the situation to make a pact with them, if the angels sent a master to kill the demons entrenched in the area according to the information they provided, they must sincerely submit to the rule of the Son of Heaven and not hinder the implementation of education. He also swore that whoever helped them kill the evil spirits who killed the Li people would support whoever became the Son of China. ”
Danzhu looked at the map carefully and said, "Lord Chonghua's trip has been very fruitful, and what I want is such a covenant...... Many of the roads marked on this map, which we didn't know before, may be the important places of the Jiuli tribes, but now they are entrenched by demons. ”
Bo Yi also leaned over and said, "These positions are very dangerous, the Jiuli tribes may want to continue to migrate or expand their territory, but they are precisely hindered by these demons. This is also to open the road with our hands, and to expand the territory currently occupied by the tribes. ”
Danzhu raised his head and said: "Chonghua, you are also a descendant of Emperor Gaoyang, you should understand the meaning of various legends of Jiuli, and you should also know the old grievances of Chongchen, Benli and Gonggong." Gonggong is opposed to Chong and Lebanon, and the attitude of the majority of these Lebanese people in the south is very important. If Zheng Bo Kun is here, how will he respond to these demands made by the Jiuli tribes?"
Chonghua bowed and said: "Although I am a descendant of Emperor Gaoyang, I am already a descendant of the sixth generation of the side branch, and the blessings have been exhausted early. I come from a humble background, and I am far from daring to compare myself with Lord Zheng Bo Kun, nor do I dare to speculate what Lord Zhen Bo Kun would do if he were here. ”
Danzhu smiled: "I believe in my father's vision, since he reused you and married my two younger sisters to you, he took a fancy to your talent and reputation." ...... Let's not talk about Bo Kun, what do you think of it?" At this moment, the two people around Danzhu are his cronies, Bo Yi is his uncle, and Chonghua is his brother-in-law, and he can say anything in private when he closes the door.
Chonghua replied: "Since ancient times, all the tribes of the world have not submitted to the Son of Heaven for no reason, but have obeyed his grace and authority and ruled by his virtue. The Son of Heaven not only promotes education in the world, but also mediates disputes between various countries and ministries to his subordinates, and helps in case of trouble. Jiuli is willing to ask for help and form an alliance, which is exactly what you came to do, and you can't ask for it.
If you return to the imperial capital with Jiuli's dedication book and tribute, you will have a great merit for the country and will spread it to all departments in the world. Whatever their intentions in slaying these demons, we have fulfilled the covenant by doing so, and they will keep their promises, which is something to do among allies.
If it is said that Jiuli is attached, in fact, it has already surrendered, but it is just a remote place and unwilling to be governed by the Son of Heaven. But it doesn't matter, as long as there is this covenant, when all the tribes of the world jointly promote the Son of Heaven, they can only support those who are allied with it.
Jiuli did not participate in the election of the Son of Heaven, and no one asked them. But if there is a conflict between the various tribes of China, such as Chongli and Gonggong, as long as they are on the side of our allies. As for the future, if you become the son of China, it will be easier to do it.
If they have any more rebellions, they can send a general to behead their leaders, and then replace them with the heads of the tribes. The land of Jiuli is sinister and suffers from evil spirits, if you regard them as the people of China, you should help them. If they do not want to regard them as Chinese people, how can they sincerely form an alliance and join them?
As for the future of appointing the great witches of various ministries as uncles, or whether they will establish themselves as vassal states, it is not a bad thing, and it can be regarded as opening up territory and expanding territory for China. ”
Dan Zhu nodded again and again, while Bo Yi frowned and said, "One of the demons they want to kill is actually a snake cultivator. This strange beast is entrenched on the eastern slope of the southern end of the Wuyun Mountains, far from the existing residence of the Jiuli tribe. This strange beast has vast magical powers, and even the masters who pass by in the sky are often devoured by it, and it is more cunning and good at change, which is difficult to deal with. ”
Dan Zhu was a little worried: "Is Uncle Yi sure to kill him?"
Bo Yi: "It's not difficult to cut the enemy head-on, but it takes a lot of effort to stop it from changing and escaping. I'm just wondering why the Jiuli tribes want to kill the Xiu Snake, do they want to open the way to Ba Yuan?"
Entering Bayuan from the south of Yunmeng Juze, it was blocked by lofty mountains and mountains, and the large-scale migration was difficult and dangerous. The most suitable road is a pass at the southern end of the Wuyun Mountains, from which access to Ba Yuan is equally difficult, but it is easier than elsewhere. But there is a demon king who occupies that pass, known as the snake repair, also known as the snake.
This demon king can soar through the clouds and fog, and his magical powers are vast, not to mention that ordinary people dare not approach its territory, and even the high-ranking people will try to avoid that area. There are all kinds of unpredictable risks in the deep mountains and wilderness, and it is not very safe to fly in the sky, and the flesh and blood of the monks who are superb will even be regarded as a great tonic by some strange beasts and demons, and if they don't get it right, they will be swallowed inexplicably.
Danzhu groaned: "If they really think so, I'm afraid they have made a mistake, Ba Yuan is no longer the Ba Yuan of the past, Ba Jun Shaowu is eloquent and strategic, and he has unified Ba Yuan to restore the country of Ba Yuan." If they really want to move there, they can only submit to the king of Ba, or they can get rid of their status as sinful people and not be burdened by their ancestors, but it is better to be canonized by the Son of Heaven, and I have made the same promise.
If Yi Bo had killed the cultivators first, it would have opened a path for those evil cultivators, and they might have wandered to that area, or even entered Ba Yuan. Since the Jiuli tribes have made this request, we will kill the cultivators according to the covenant, but we must put it at the end to prevent those evil cultivators from escaping in that direction. ”
Chonghua shook his head and said: "To kill the monsters, you can put the snake cultivation last, but you don't have to put it after killing those evil cultivators." As long as Lord Bo Yi makes a move, those evil cultivators will avoid it when they hear the wind, and they will definitely flee when they should escape, just depending on which direction they flee.
The emperor has sent Lord Lu Zhang to canonize Ba Jun by Yunlin, but I feel that Lu Zhang's trip will not be too smooth, and this matter will not be completed at least once. The emperor has asked for Ba Jun, but Ba Jun has no request for the emperor, this is the difficulty.
If the snake has been cut down, there are demons and evil fleeing into Ba Yuan, and chaos will inevitably arise. In fact, the situation is similar wherever they flee, but the emperor can bring Lord Boyi to chase into Ba Yuan to eliminate the harm, which can be regarded as helping Ba Jun solve the disaster, and they can form an alliance with the situation. ”
Danzhu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then you have to bother Uncle Lao Yi!"
Bo Yi said lightly: "Anyway, it's all about killing demons and evils, who to kill first and who to kill later, it doesn't matter to me." ...... It's just that Lu Zhang's envoy Ba Yuan has not yet returned, if I go deep into the Southern Wilderness to kill the demons, and the emperor does not have Yun Yuan by his side, I am afraid that something will be wrong. ”
Danzhu waved his hand and said, "Uncle Yi doesn't have to worry about me, you go deep into the Southern Wilderness to kill demons is the real danger." As a Chinese angel and an acting emperor, I also have guards around me, can I still be afraid?...... Chonghua, is there anything else?" )
