Liu Dingshan handed over the little wooden figure in his hand to the head of the Mingxu Dao. Speaking of which, this little wooden figure is indeed a little hot in his own hands: after all, the Dingshan Daoist is a disciple of the Xiaoyao faction, you can kill him, but if you make a villain and prick a needle, the Xiaoyao faction will definitely not be soft.

But Mingxu Daoist didn't have to worry about this, he looked at the little wooden figure for a while, and smiled faintly, "In recent years, the Xiaoyao faction has not been carefree, and small actions in private have continued. Hey, it's time for them to lose something. ”

After accepting the wooden man, Mingxu Daoist looked at Zhang Hao and said to Liu Dingshan: "This kid has caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

"This period of time, thanks to Young Master Zhang. If it weren't for Young Master Zhang's efforts, the current situation in the country of Qixia would be very bad. Not to mention it from afar, let's just say that this time the Great Array of Heaven and Earth Sealing and I entered the late stage of the Transformation of the Gods, Young Master Zhang has made great contributions. ”

"Heh, return Young Master Zhang......" Mingxu Daoist repeated, "You have such a high opinion of him?"

"Of course......" Liu Dingshan explained leisurely, telling some of the things he knew. Liu Dingshan doesn't need to be exaggerated, as long as he says it plainly, it is enough to surprise Mingxu Daoist. After all, the information that can make a god stage pay attention to is shocking enough in itself.

This introduction lasted until dawn, and Liu Dingshan's introduction included artillery, explosives, steel, industrial facilities, steel giants, and more recently, industry and commerce. It also introduced the new knowledge involved in the research and production process of the Great Array of Heaven and Earth, as well as the process of his own epiphany.

In the end, he was full of praise for Zhang Hao going to the country of Jinyang alone to negotiate and bring back a large number of pills.

After the introduction, Liu Dingshan sighed with emotion: "In the country of Qixia, you can turn defeat into victory and kill two gods, and Young Master Zhang has made great contributions." ”

Mingxu Dao Chang went from shock at the beginning to suspicion in the middle, and then to numbness at the end...... Is this really my own disciple?

turned his head to look at Zhang Hao, but found that Zhang Hao was leaning on the pillar of the camp tent and fell asleep.

Mingxu Dao has a black line, you are asleep when the elders speak, you need education.

Liu Dingshan didn't seem to notice this, but continued: "If you want to say that Zhang Hao has any shortcomings, there are two. One is boldness. The last time I was playing chess with Fu Yun, he was able to go over and smash the artillery drawings on the chessboard.

And then there's the lazy sleep. Most of the time, Zhang Hao can sleep until three poles in the morning. ”

"Lazy sleep?" Mingxu Dao Chang's eyes suddenly became serious, "Cultivators can't wait to practice all the time, but he still sleeps lazy?"

As he spoke, he used a small magic power and shouted at Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao!"

This sound was heard in Zhang Hao's ears, like a thunderbolt. Zhang Hao woke up suddenly, "Oh, Master, you called me?"

"Did you sleep well?"

"Uh...... Not very comfortable. Zhang Hao still didn't react.

"Of course you're not going to feel comfortable like that. Come, stand up straight. Yes, that's right. As long as a cultivator in the foundation building period stands like a loose and sits like a clock, the true essence in the body will naturally circulate and comb the body. As long as you maintain the correct posture, it is no problem not to sleep for more than ten days. ”

Zhang Hao immediately said, "Master, have you noticed that if you don't sleep for a long time, your work efficiency will be very low?

Cultivators are certainly powerful, but after all, we can't completely change our lives against the sky, and some natural laws will still affect us.

That's why it is said: one piece and one relaxation, the way of nature. ”

"Hehe......" Mingxu Dao smiled a little coldly, "This is the reason why you sleep lazy?"

“......”

"But it's my fault, after I accepted you, I haven't instructed you to practice. Then you can follow me. As he spoke, he turned his head and continued to discuss with Liu Dingshan, and the two of them talked and talked about their cultivation.

Although Liu Dingshan is in the late stage of the transformation of the gods, his foundation is not as good as that of the Mingxu Daoist, and many of them are explored by himself, and for the Mingxu Daoist, the experience of a 'wild road' in the late stage of the transformation of the god is also very precious.

The two sat down and discussed, Zhang Hao stood straight and dozed off...... The things of the incarnation period sound like a book from heaven. If you have this time, you might as well study industrial technology.

This discussion lasted until noon, until Liu Xinyu came in to pay a visit.

After meeting with Daoist Mingxu and Liu Dingshan, Liu Xinyu said that he wanted to hold a small discussion meeting and needed Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hai was temporarily out of trouble. Coming to the outside of the camp, Zhang Hao looked at the bright sun in the sky, and actually had a feeling of escaping and ascending to heaven. I couldn't help but sigh: "It's good to be free!"

Liu Xinyu couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this: "You can be content, how many people want this kind of treatment but can't get it." Disciples of the Holy Land, Master is still in the stage of incarnation. I think there are very few disciples like this, even on the Xuanzhen Sect's side. ”

"A disciple like me is the only one in the world. During the foundation building period, he participated in the battle of the Transformation Period, and he had at least one of the combat exploits of the Transformation Period!

By the way, what kind of reward is Your Highness going to give me for such a military exploit?"

Liu Xinyu smiled: "Didn't you say it before, after the war, you will be made a duke, the only duke in the country of Qixia." ”

"But no, we only legislated a few days ago, and the nobility only has honor and no real power. ”

Liu Xinyu was a little proud: "That's your own proposal, it's not my proposal anyway." In other words, you cut the reward for yourself yourself, and it's useless for you to look for me!"

"I want a fief!"

"The Zhang family has already been a fief of eight towns, and it can't be sealed anymore! Now only your family has a fief in the whole country. Even if it is Xinglintang, it only has a scope of influence, and the law does not stipulate its fiefdom. By default, it is only dozens of miles around Xinglin Hall. ”

"Tsk......" Zhang Hao suddenly felt like lifting a stone to hit his own feet.

The tent used for deliberations was a few steps away, Liu Xinyu sat on the main seat, and said slowly: "Just now we received a call for help from the north and the country of Zhoushan. They couldn't withstand the attack of the Yanyun Country.

Tell me, what should we do?"

Zhang Hao was already serious at this time, and he was the first to speak: "There must be a buffer zone between us and the country of Yanyun. The country of Zhoushan in the north must be preserved. ”

Wu Fanghai and others also agreed, and everyone agreed to keep the country of Zhoushan in the north. There is only one point, how to protect it, is the problem.

Some said that they provided them with weapons, dark iron, and elixirs, and some said that they would send troops directly. It is also said that Liu Dingshan's ancestor was invited to come forward.

After discussing for a long time, Liu Xinyu looked at Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, you haven't spoken, what is your opinion?"

"Your Highness, I think we have one less issue to discuss. That's ...... The division is famous. Since ancient times, only emperors have been able to mobilize the entire strategic resources of the country and support foreign countries.

If His Highness supports the north as a 'regent', then when His Highness encounters the emperor of the country of Zhoushan, will he still have to bow his knees?"

As soon as Zhang Hao's words fell, there was an instant silence in the camp tent.

Liu Xinyu's eyes became brighter and brighter, while Wu Fanghai, Zhao Duo, Liu Jingming and a few other old ministers were full of hesitation.

There are also newcomers such as Zhou Jue and Xu Jie, and everyone is still spinning in circles. Zhang Hao: What does this mean...... Let Liu Xinyu ascend the throne and become emperor?

It's going to subvert tradition. After the silence, everyone whispered continuously, and even Wu Fanghai couldn't help but communicate with Zhao Duo and Liu Jingming next to him.

Pushing a woman as emperor is unprecedented! At least in the West of the Continent of Fertile Land, it is unprecedented.

In the past few thousand years or tens of thousands of years, it is not that there have been no women in power in the West of the Fertile Land Continent, but they are all in power behind the scenes. Great, that is, directly in power as a queen. But to say that to make an empress, it is still the same as before.

But the current country of Qixia is also somewhat special. First of all, when the building was about to collapse, Liu Xinyu almost single-handedly shouldered the heavy responsibility, and then, now the direct bloodline of the Liu royal family is left Liu Xinyu. The most important thing is that Liu Xinyu's ability has also been recognized by everyone.

But to set up a queen to come out, it still makes everyone a little ...... Surprise.

Maybe for Zhang Hao, it's nothing. But for the locals of this Xiuzhen world, the empress's thoughts are still a little shocking.

Liu Xinyu was also very ambitious before, but she didn't dare to raise this question herself.

This is subversive of tradition, this is earth-shattering, maybe Zhang Hao thinks it's nothing, but the resistance to this matter is not trivial.

After a while, everyone was still talking to each other, shocked.

Zhang Hao coughed twice, "Everyone, what are you discussing?" Well, I'll ask a couple of questions. First, does the current country of Qixia need a king?"

Everyone didn't speak, but they had to nod. In a society that has always been centralized by monarchy, a country must have a king.

Zhang Hao continued to ask: "Second, do you think that apart from His Royal Highness the Regent, who else is there in the country of Qixia who is qualified and capable of the position of king?"

If you let Liu Jingming ascend the throne now, can you approve of it?"

"No, no! This joke can't be made!" Liu Jingming was so frightened by Zhang Hao's words that he trembled and broke out in a cold sweat. Although he is also of the Liu bloodline, he has long been a side branch, unless he rebels, or the mansion will fall, otherwise this throne will not be his turn.

And at the moment, this Liu Xinyu is not a soft-handed person. Not to mention that she killed her brother with her own hands - there is no way to do it. Let's just say that in terms of cleaning up the domestic families and other means, Liu Xinyu has killed everything, that is definitely a mistake and not a mistake.

After Liu Jingming was frightened, he suddenly opened his mind. He roared: "I approve of the regent being honored and the emperor being crowned!"

Zhang Hao's gaze slowly swept over Zhao Duo. "Prime Minister Zhao, do you have a better candidate?"

Zhao Duo opened his mouth, and had to turn to Liu Xinyu and said, "Your Highness, now that the country is in turmoil, the dragons are leaderless. For the sake of the country, please enthrone Your Highness as emperor!"

Then without waiting for Zhang Hao to continue asking, everyone said: Please regent ascend the throne!

Liu Xinyu smiled, she looked at Zhang Hao's gaze, full of faint gratitude. Don't look at it today, it's just a few words, but for this traditional society, this is the most difficult step.

Tradition is the inertia and habit of a society, and it is an invisible but difficult force to resist. And to elect a princess to the throne as the emperor is definitely "risking the world's disapproval". It's against the tide.

And it is precisely because of this that if Liu Xinyu wants to ascend the throne, he still needs to build momentum. Today, it can only be said that the upper echelons of the country have reached a consensus, and the next step is to let the whole country reach a consensus.

So today, Liu Xinyu resigned.

When an emperor ascends the throne, he has to resign and give up, which is not just a hypocritical act. At least for Liu Xinyu at the moment, these three resignations and three concessions are a process that must be taken.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Liu Xinyu changed the topic. "The matter of enthronement will be put aside for now, and we will discuss the situation in the north. Well...... Zhang Hao, how do you think we should support the north?"

"Salute first, then soldier!" Zhang Hao set the tone as soon as he spoke, "That's what I think."

As a brand new country, we need to create a good image. Therefore, we can't come up and support the country of Zhoushan in the north, there will be a feeling of being reckless.

We can first send an envoy to inform the country of Yanyun and express our attitude. We must be 'friendly' in this process, and we must not let others grasp the handle. Words such as threats to send troops cannot be said.

Of course, I believe that the country of Yanyun will definitely refuse.

Then we will support the country of Zhoushan, and then we will be famous. With the slogan of maintaining peace in the West, we will work together with the country of Zhoushan to fight against the country of Yanyun. Maybe it can also pull up to the country of Zhongshan.

After that, if we defeat the country of Yanyun, we will not be able to occupy its territory, and our army will withdraw even if it invades the territory of the country of Yanyun, and the country of Zhoushan will not be allowed to expand. We have to create a positive image. ”

Liu Xinyu frowned slightly: "Zhang Hao, many of your recent suggestions are like this. For the sake of a so-called 'reason' word, and give up a lot of interests. I don't quite understand.

After so many battles, I believe you should understand that this world is respected by the strong. If we do this, we are afraid that we will be underestimated. And more benefits are lost in vain. ”

Zhang Hao said slowly and thoughtfully: "Your Highness, the situation in my country has changed. What we are going to take next is the route of industrial and commercial development. Industry and commerce need to be exchanged with foreign countries.

May I ask Your Highness, if there is a country that has established diplomatic relations with the country of Qixia and wants to exchange commerce, will you choose a reasonable one or one who likes to use your fists?"

Liu Xinyu thought for a while and said, "I choose, I can bring benefits to the country of Qixia." If you can do both, then you can communicate with it. ”

Zhang Hao: "......"

Seeing that Zhang Hao was speechless, Liu Xinyu suddenly smiled proudly. "I see what you mean. If I had to choose one or the other, I would definitely choose a country that is reasonable.

So, who wants to go to the Land of Yanyun?"

"Your Highness, I would like to go. Yan Qing suddenly came out of the ranks. Then Zheng You also came out.
