Ning Baifeng looked at Chen Songfeng, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Yuntai invited him to come to Shangdu after discussing the sword; There is news that Wei has luck to help him; The old snowplow said he was a little late; Conversation in the snowstorm at the top of the mountain; And now preemptively open your mouth to set the time of the competition.

Many seemingly unrelated things are strung together in one line.

If the news came out at the beginning, Xue Zhi's exploits in destroying Wei were due to the help of the Holy Master's luck, and it could barely be explained as Chen Songfeng's unintentional words, and it could even be explained that he was endorsing the matter of luck.

So now Chen Songfeng's words and deeds can obviously see that these are his calculations.

The result is that he and Xue Zhi will fight, as for what the ultimate goal is, it is still impossible to guess.

"You'd better give me an explanation!"

This sentence was not explicitly stated, but it sounded in the hearts of the two.

He doesn't like to be calculated.

The previous coercion on Donglai Mountain had already made him a little unhappy, and his heart was already angry at this time.

Chen Songfeng was very calm, just nodded slightly.

There was silence in the study.

The charcoal in the brazier burst into flames.

Ji Wu couldn't know the sound of the two of them, but he could see Ning Baifeng's expression, coughed lightly, and said: "Today's Xiaochao Meeting, the Holy Master, the Master of Chen, Xue Aiqing, and all of you here, it can be said that all the ministers of my Great Yan Humerus are here, so you might as well take this opportunity to discuss the national policy." ”

The stiff atmosphere in the imperial study was broken, and everyone didn't want to anger the holy master, let alone brush His Majesty's face, and their eyes all turned to Ji Wu.

As if the unpleasantness just now didn't exist.

After reporting the matter, Honglu Siqing immediately stood up again and saluted: "Your Majesty, Emperor Wei has been captured, and all the Wei clan has been captured, dare to ask what to do?"

Everyone looked at Ji Wu without squinting.

Originally, this matter had just been reported, and the matter was already decided, and the people who died of the country were hung in the post house first, and then waited until the year-end court meeting to promulgate the matter as a lottery head.

Now Honglu Siqing said it, which was tantamount to advancing the matter, but everyone didn't speak, and even Ji Wu glanced at him appreciatively.

Because no one wants to go back to the kind of confrontation that doesn't belong to their level just now.

There will always be a gap between cultivators and ordinary people.

What's more, in the eyes of the people, these three people are already immortal figures.

Ji Wu smiled slightly: "Emperor Wei was appointed as the Duke of Wei and stayed in Shangdu, and the children of other clans were punished according to the laws of Honglu Temple, and you can have any objections." ”

A group of ministers immediately sang peace, and there were no objections.

Then, another person stood up, but what he said was about Xue Zhi.

"Your Majesty, Wei Tu is newly returned, the people's hearts are unstable, and it is urgent to send Liuguan to govern, but there are not enough auxiliary officials in the Ministry of Officials, and the old minister implores His Majesty to persuade General Xue to be slower when wielding his sword, and leave some Wei officials who are willing to belong to my Dayan to help govern Wei Tu and reduce chaos in the backyard. ”

After speaking, the official turned his head to look at Xue Zhi and sighed helplessly.

It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

The army killed all the way, refreshing is refreshing, leaving behind the ruins, and in the end it is these civil officials who have a headache.

Before Ji Wu could give his opinion, another person stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there is still one more thing here, how should the Shanshui Shrine in Weitu deal with it, and whether it needs to be dealt with as appropriate, and turn some useless shrines into mountain and wild obscene shrines." ”

Within the territory of a country, ordinary people have their own officials to govern, but in places that the people can't see, in the face of the invasion of those mountain spirits-water monsters, ghosts and ghosts, they rely on the land of the city god in the shrine of mountains and rivers, and the god of Hebo Mountain.

But the problem is that if the gods are not the Great Yan Edict, then the gods who enjoy the incense of the people in a place will not be able to add fuel to the fortune of the Great Yan country, but on the contrary, it is easy to provide protection for the people who destroy the country.

In fact, the easiest way is to destroy all these mountain and water shrines, rebuild them with Dayan's funds, and then re-seal them.

But in doing so, the pressure on Dayan's treasury is too great, and it can't bear such consumption at all.

Therefore, the common practice is to seal the original shrine, confiscate the edict of the old country, and confiscate the spiritual objects of the seal, and then let the Qin Tianjian destroy them.

This is what this man meant when he said that he should be discretionary.

Ji Wu did not immediately reply everywhere, but slowly stood up and saluted towards Ning Baifeng.

Emperor of a country

, the status is extremely high, if you don't want to, even if you see a saint, you don't have to salute.

At this time, Ji Wu saluted, and although everyone was surprised, they were gradually relieved to see that it was the white-clothed young man who was respected as a holy teacher by the first emperor.

Ning Baifeng was also surprised, and stood up to return the salute.

Ji Wu raised his head and said, "This time the Holy Master returns, Ji Wu has something to ask for. ”

Ning Baifeng's eyebrows raised slightly, "Your Majesty said it directly. ”

Ji Wu nodded and said, "I want to use the name of the Holy Master to cooperate with the sects on the mountain to recruit qi practitioners who are willing to go down the mountain as monks to expand the military strength of Dayan." ”

The army is on a foreign expedition, and although ordinary soldiers are the main force, the monks accompanying the army are also indispensable.

Especially when the two armies are facing each other, the soldiers do not move, that is the battlefield of the monks of the army, and the battle will appear anywhere, until one of the monks has suffered heavy casualties, and the whole army will attack.

Dayan has its own army monks, the most of which are the Fulongshi, and the recruitment of Qi practitioners from various sects can only show that the number of Fulongshi is insufficient, and then it shows that Dayan's army will continue to expand outward.

It can be seen that Ji Wu's ambition is far from being as simple as annexing Wei.

Ning Baifeng looked at Ji Wu, was silent for a long time, and asked, "Where does Your Majesty's army want to fight?"

Ji Wu stretched out his hand and lifted it.

The old eunuch who was waiting next to him immediately walked to a beam and pillar, and stretched out his hand to pull the hanging rope that was braided with gold wire.

A huge map hangs from the beams of the house.

Everyone looked at the map.

Ning Baifeng only glanced at it slightly, and he recognized that what he was painting was the land of Kunzhou.

On the land of the approximate triangle, there are countless small kingdoms and dynasties below the Northern Sword Pavilion and the Great Yan Dynasty. The southern sword forest, the small countries are very few around the Great Chu Dynasty, the middle of Kunzhou Tianxu River originates from the Spring and Autumn Tianyuan vicinity, dividing the land of Kunzhou into two, and the northwest of Kunzhou is the wasteland Gobi.

Ji Wu took an ebony staff handed over by the old eunuch and pointed in the direction of the capital of Wei, "Conquering Wei is only the first step of Dayan's southward journey. ”

With the sound of the words, the wooden staff in Ji Wu's hand slid all the way down to Wushan in the middle of Kunzhou.

Then, Ji Wu continued: "I know that the Holy Master is going south to fight for the sword, I only hope that in my lifetime, I can see my Great Yan Iron Horse riding across the Tianxu River to the southern stone forest and drink the horse in the South China Sea!"

As soon as these words came out, the room was silent.

Everyone present was shocked by Ji Wu's ambition.

It's just that Kunzhou is too vast, from north to south, even if you take the Xianjia ferry, it will take nearly a month.

If it is said that the land of Banzhou is a country, with the Great Chu Dynasty in front, it is not a very surprising move. However, if the vast Kunzhou is the territory of Dayan, its ambition is so great that it can be called ancient and modern.

Ji Wu turned his head to look at Xue Zhi, "Xue Aiqing, I let you come back at this time, so that rumors are spreading, and even rumors that I suspect that you are a master of high merit, these will make you feel uncomfortable, I know it." But now I want to tell you, you just have to let go and fight outside, I don't believe that an old minister who has fought for Dayan all his life will support his own army. What's more, with Xue Aiqing's cultivation comparable to that of an earth immortal, no matter how high the secular power is, what is the significance. ”

Xue Zhi looked at Ji Wu quietly and was silent.

When he returned to the dynasty this time, he was indeed unhappy because of these miscellaneous things, and even felt that the new emperor was too young after all, his heart was low, and his strength was not enough, so he slightly despised Ji Wu.

Although there are three visits back to the city, they are just conventional means of buying people's hearts. The words that directly interrupted Ji Wu before were all these contempts.

And now, he suddenly realized that he really underestimated the courage of this new emperor.

A continent is a country, drinking horses and the South China Sea, how rampant.

Ji Wu didn't wait for him to speak, and continued: "Summoning Xue Aiqing back to the court, in addition to revealing my heart, another point is that your marching speed is several times faster than before, and the place where you fight, all battles are successful, and the degree of smoothness is far greater than before. Even Wei Du was only a three-day walk, which was so unexpected that the domestic auxiliary officials couldn't keep up. ”

Xue Zhi let out a sigh of relief.

With this emperor, the backyard is worry-free.

Killing one person is a crime, killing 10,000 people is a hero, killing a million people is a male among heroes!

The way of cultivation of a soldier is not a qi practitioner sitting in the mountains.

Even if he conquered the land of half a continent, Xue Zhi was expected to set foot in the realm of heavenly immortals.

The avenue is ahead, and he Xue Zhi wants to let go of the levy

Attack.

At this point, Ji Wu turned his head to look at Chen Songfeng, "Master Chen, I don't know if those scholars and scholars in Chen County are willing to be used by Dayan?"

Chen Songfeng chuckled and said, "As long as Your Majesty speaks, thousands of scholars will move with the army." ”

In the past, Chen Guo was famous for the majority of scholars, and Chen Songfeng can be said to be the leader of these scholars.

As long as Chen Songfeng speaks, these readers are Dayan's readers.

Ji Wu looked at the official secretary who proposed that there were not enough auxiliary officials, and said with a smile: "Look, isn't the problem of auxiliary officials solved? ”

The secretary immediately bent down to receive the order.

Ji Wu looked at Ning Baifeng again and said, "If Dayan is strong, the greater the benefit to the Holy Master, this is a matter of mutual benefit, and I also ask the Holy Master to help." ”

Ning Baifeng retracted his gaze looking at the map, looked at Ji Wu, and said after a moment of silence: "My reputation may not have such a big effect. ”

He thought to himself that although he got the name of the first disciple of the Sword Sect, he might have some fame in Huiyuan Mountain and play some role in the disciples of Sword Pool, but if he was placed outside the mountain, it might not have much effect.

Ji Wu laughed lightly, "The Holy Master has lived in the mountains for a long time, and he really underestimates himself, as long as I issue a holy decree in the name of the Holy Master, there will be countless followers, not to mention, under the heavy reward, there will be brave men." ”

Although Ning Baifeng was surprised that his reputation was really that big, he still thought about the sentence that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward.

What kind of heavy reward can attract the qi practitioners in the sect on the mountain.

Ji Wu looked at the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and said with a smile: "All the land under the capture, those unwilling to surrender and useless mountain and water shrines, all destroyed, the golden body of the god is shattered, and its fragments and all kinds of spiritual objects and treasures obtained are all used as rewards, so that the monks in the army can exchange them for military merits." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu's expression immediately changed, he stood up, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, this move is inappropriate!"

Ji Wu didn't get angry, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"It is easy to destroy, but to rebuild, it will cost countless money, and the treasury may not be able to support it." ”

Ji Wu's gaze turned to Qin Tianjian Zhengwen Yangshuo, "You come and explain it to him." By the way, I also let you know how much the Holy Master has paved the way for Dayan. ”

Ning Baifeng was stunned, what does this have to do with himself?

Hearing this, Yangshuo stood up and said with a smile: "After the recommendation of the Holy Master, I had a very good conversation with Wei Xing, a disciple of Jimo Shenji Mountain in the territory of Lu State, and reached a deal with the giant of Shenji Mountain, they will send the disciples of the Mo family to come to help, and the reconstruction of the golden body of the god of mountains and rivers will be done by them, and they can even use the cost price to provide Dayan with an immortal ferry as a warship to contribute to the army's conquest." ”

Hearing the name of Wei Xing, Ning Baifeng suddenly remembered that when he was in Huiyuan Mountain, he heard that Yangshuo and Wei Xing went in and out together, and they really talked very happily.

Unexpectedly, they were preparing for it at that time.

When the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard this answer, his brows furrowed slightly, "I'm afraid the price of such a transaction is not small." ”

Ji Wu said with a smile: "The Great Yan Society will establish the Mo family as a prominent scholar, and like the Confucian scholars, they can open the Mo Academy in the territory of the Great Yan." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu frowned, "Your Majesty ......"

Ji Wu stretched out his hand and shook it, stopped his words, and chuckled: "I know what you want to say, Mohist learning is not an evil theory, and in some aspects it is even of great benefit to the country, as for how to balance it, it is up to you Confucian scholars to debate." ”

The Ministry of Rites did not say much more, and retreated and sat down on the pony again.

If the benefits of a country's national policy outweigh the disadvantages, no matter how much he says, it will be implemented after all.

Ji Wu looked back at Ning Baifeng and asked with a smile, "Holy Master, what do you think?"

Ning Baifeng pondered.

In these things, even if he didn't agree to use his reputation, the Great Yan Iron Cavalry probably wouldn't stop, at most it would only cooperate slowly with the various sects, which would slow down the march of the army.

But if he agrees, the speed is amazingly faster.

It can be said that his role is both useless but significant.

Moreover, as Ji Wu said, the stronger Dayan is, the greater the benefit to him.

Even from this point of view, it will be beneficial to the future kendo battle.

It was quiet in the study.

Everyone looked at the young man in white, waiting for his answer.

After a long time, Ning Baifeng raised his eyelids and nodded in agreement.

"Yes!"
