Chapter 442: Gilded
"General Chong's words are reasonable, but I don't think we should act immediately, after all, this is just the words of Elder Tian's family, and it has not been confirmed. The white-haired old man shook his head and objected.
"Bai Zhixu, what do you think?" Chongming smiled slightly and asked the old man.
"Gao Jian? I can't talk about it, but I suggest that this matter should be resolved safely, after all, the south is persuading King Liang to surrender, if we don't have a fair and honest name here, we will do it without permission, and it is difficult to guarantee that King Liang will not be cold when he sees it." Besides, the Qingcheng Sword Sect is not a small sect, although it is not comparable to King Liang, but it should not be underestimated. To put it mildly, the Qingcheng Sword Sect is not a big warlord!" the white-haired old man twisted his beard in one hand and said unhurriedly.
"Well, what does Bai Lao mean?" Li Qianwen hesitated and asked.
"I think it's mostly true, but there has to be solid evidence. First, in the name of righteousness, we have a reason for sending troops in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and secondly, it is better to avoid startling the snake. If you let the cronies of the Qingxu Gate and the Blood Shadow Gate do tricks and feet to investigate the details, if you can steal the maid of the Hades King quietly, it will naturally be the best of both worlds, if not, it will not be too late to send a large army to suppress the realm!"
"Well, ginger is still old and spicy, and I don't leak anything, and I'm still younger. ”
"Bai Lao's method is very good, I think, let's do it for the time being. Shuo Fang, you also heard it, you will inform the two factions of Qingxu Blood and Shadow, and show me a good look!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
Li Qianzheng stroked his palms and laughed, and then issued a holy decree to the head of state, and the other party stood up and bowed, and happily accepted the order.
"Next, let's talk about the frontline war......
When it comes to war, it is natural that money is inseparable, so he still set out to solve the problem of financial resources for expeditions, and Li Qianwen put forward the words "open source and reduce expenditure".
There are two things to throttle, the first is naturally to shorten the front-line war and make peace with the Hu people.
But now on the battlefield in the Western Regions, the Hu people are defeated like a mountain, and the momentum of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is like a rainbow, so how can they give up. Once the Hu people have gained respite, they will make a comeback in a few years, and at that time, the vast territory they have now built will be lost.
The second thing was to stop the construction of Jingtian City, Li Qianzheng thought about it and agreed. It's just that the construction of Jingtian City has actually stalled a long time ago due to the lack of resources, and only a holy decree from Li Qianzheng is missing. Everyone knows this, but they don't break it.
If you can't throttle, you can only open source, and open source can start from three aspects.
The first is to collect taxes, but the land of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has suffered from war for more than two hundred years, and the people have long been overwhelmed, and many immortal cultivation forces have also been levied again and again, and there is not much oil and water to squeeze. At present, they can only focus on the two directions of the eastern and southern kingdoms, after all, they are hiding behind the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and have developed steadily for more than a hundred years.
The second is to find the relics of the King of Chu, but unfortunately this matter depends on luck. Lin Anhou was imprisoned and imprisoned, and he insisted on not letting go, and the sea of divine consciousness was also blocked by a very strong ban, and the soul search was carried out for a long time, but no information came out, and they couldn't help it.
The third is to borrow materials from Hanzhong. For thousands of years, Hanzhong has not been invaded by the outside world, and the material reserves must be very abundant. It's just that because of Li Qianzheng's scruples about Li Qianhong, Li Qianwen didn't say it.
In the end, the focus was on the southeast countries to collect heavy taxes, which were handled by Li Qianwen with full authority.
Tianchen was hung by Li Qianzheng for a few days, and he didn't move, so he knew that things didn't want to be as easy as he thought, and at the same time, he also heard that the Shenhuo Sect did not have a wanted warrant for him, so it can be seen that the heart of the Holy Lord of Yunyao is not so small, so Tianchen is at ease. The reason why Tianchen agreed to become an elder of Keqing was that he was also attached to the big tree of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so that the Divine Fire Sect should also have three points before he started, so as to save his life.
Since Li Qianzheng had no drama on his side, Tianchen planned to go to the Qingcheng Sword Sect alone to collect evidence, and Xiao Biling naturally had this thought, so the two sides hit it off.
Xiao Biling suggested that he could find his brother Xiao Qingque and use the power of the Xiao family to put pressure on the Qingcheng Sword Sect, although the Xiao family is now in decline, it is not as good as before, it may be useless, but it is better than the two of them fighting alone.
When the two of them left Tongtian City, Xiao Biling released a secret transmission note, notifying the nearby Xiao family disciples to come to help, and the two of them went all the way south.
But what they didn't expect was that a big trouble was coming.
The two of them were waiting for a group of killers, and there was even an existence at the early level of a spirit infant. Fortunately, Tianchen relied on his powerful mana to support it, and urged Elder Keqing's token to send out a distress message.
It just so happened that Li Qianwen was nearby, and after getting the news, he came over with Bai Zixu and others, subdued this monk in the early stage of the spirit infant, and then collected the soul and learned that the Xiao family had changed.
When Xiao Biling learned that Xiao Qingque had been secretly killed by this person, and the entire Xiao family had fallen into the hands of others, she suddenly wanted to cry without tears, and Tianchen comforted her.
In the middle of the night, Li Qianwen had a secret conversation with Xiao Biling, wanting to accept the Xiao family as the immortal cultivator family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and then tax the two major immortal cultivation worlds in the southeast.
Xiao Biling is also smart and clever, bargaining with Li Qianwen, and the final result of the negotiation is to use the Eastern Zhou Dynasty as the backing to help her sit on the orthodoxy of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family has become synonymous with the Li family's cultivation of immortals in the southeast, and began to impose taxes and harsh policies.
After that, Li Qianwen came to Tiancai alone and asked Tianchen to quietly and silently go to the Qiandu Palace in the north to persuade Li Er and Li Qianhong's group of Hanzhong monks to borrow military supplies from the king of Hanzhong.
As soon as Tianchen heard the other party's intention, he immediately became angry and categorically refused.
"Who in the world doesn't know that Li Qianhong and the current emperor are like fire and water, if the prince wants to die until the heavens are dead, he can say it clearly, there is no need to beat around the bush like this. ”
"As the saying goes, brothers work together, their profits are gold, Li Er is my Li family's bloodline, and he will naturally not stand idly by before this embarrassment. If Daoyou can persuade him to help his eldest brother, I believe that the old grudges accumulated over the years will also be reduced a lot. This matter is secretive, if it is not done, naturally no one knows, if it is done, the predecessors are also a great achievement. With the status of Daoyou in His Majesty's mind, he naturally won't say much. ”
Li Qianwen's lips opened slightly, and he said to Tianchen Chuanyin, which shows that he is extremely cautious, and it is far from being as simple as he says.
"There is no other candidate for the prince, so you have to go down to do this?" Tianchen's face sank, and he said in the same voice.
"The temples of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are majestic and complex, nepotism is very heavy, the seniors have just joined me in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the foundation is innocent, except for Taoist friends, I can't trust others, if I look for them, one is not careful, even I will be affected. ”
Tianchen was silent for a long time, so he had to take care of this matter, after all, his family was still in the hands of the other party, and the other party was the son of the world, so he asked someone to do something inconsequential, and the people who were attentive grabbed a lot of it. As long as he acts secretively, Tianchen has no way to refute anything.
After all, he is just a gold-plated, how can he be compared to real gold!
Li Qianwen was naturally overjoyed when he saw Tianchen's response, gave Tianchen a secret talisman, and told him to hurry to the north. Tianchen asked Xiao Moxue about it, Li Qianwen was afraid of some secrets, but said that the matter had already begun to act, and told him not to worry, so as not to spoil the big thing.
