Armillary Boots @ Chapter 64 Impulsive Punishment One

Author: polarisa

On the Qinzheng Palace, the Grand Duke of Muhai is high, and the military and political ministers of the Muhai Principality sit on the left and right sides of the hall. There is only one main content of today's political deliberations, and that is the warning message presented by Zhao Wude, the head of Qingyun Gate: The Holy Realm has sent people to the lower realm twice, and every time they come, they have to go to the Muhai Principality, why did they come.

Muhai Grand Duke Zhao Yingjie is nearly forty years old, and he is in his prime. The last Grand Duke Muhai died in a hurry, and he stepped down before he was sixty, which caught Zhao Yingjie, who had just won the crown at that time, a little unprepared. The previous Grand Duke Muhai was his uncle, and because his son was still in infancy and could not succeed him, this freed up his opportunity. However, it is only an opportunity, not a 100% succession right.

There are many heirs in the Zhao family, including many uncles and uncles of Zhao Yingjie, and even his father doesn't seem to want to support his son-in-law. As for Zhao Yingjie's brothers and cousins, counting the young ones, there are countless of them. Even excluding those who have not yet reached the crown, there are more than 30 people.

Although those uncles are not outstanding, they are all veterans of officialdom with rich qualifications. Zhao Yingjie could only play the matriarchal card skills, and under the persuasion of his mother Rong, the Rong family at the end of the four major families came to support. Fortunately, those uncles didn't look down on this nephew, and their own father was vying for the top position, and he was gloomy and weak, which allowed him to survive. In the end, in the context of a tie among the uncles, Zhao Yingjie rose to prominence, won the highest support rate of the elders in the clan, and successfully ascended to the throne of the Grand Duke.

However, such a high-ranking experience also left a hard wound for Zhao Yingjie. After ascending to the throne, in order to ensure that the governance program can be effectively implemented in the entire principality, he can only continue to rely on the strength of the Rong family, which has led to the current tail of the Rong family. Jingnan, Jingbei, and Jingxi were almost all infiltrated by the Rong family. If it weren't for the Zhao family controlling the palace guards inside and the Qingyunmen controlling the twenty-four counties outside, I'm afraid the Rong family would have to become bigger. Even so, the Rong family also relied on smuggling to make a fortune by controlling the three guards and controlling the only three trade routes in the principality, and in just twenty years, they have become the head of the four major families in the principality.

In recent years, Zhao Yingjie has secretly strategized and has gradually established his own power, and is slowly getting rid of the suppression of the Rong family. This is a good opportunity to listen to the political discussion.

Zhao Wude entered the palace last night and secretly reported the alarm. With years of inheritance, Muhai Dagong and Qingyunmen rely on each other and develop together. Zhao Yingjie's warning message, Zhao Yingjie disagreed, but considering all the information as a whole, Zhao Yingjie thought that this was an excellent opportunity to weaken the four major families and major sects. Subsequently, the two sides agreed that the official family and Qingyunmen would not participate in this matter, and the official family would not interfere with how the four major families and major sects responded.

At this time, at the Qinzheng Palace, officials representing the four major families and major sects were all present. Since the people from the Holy Realm related to the Mu clan were discussed, Grand Duke Mu Hai appointed Mu Zhengqin, the patriarch of the Mu clan and the master of the Duchy Situ, to speak first.

According to Mu Zhengqin's view, whether the previous Holy Ancestor or the later Saint of the Nether Realm, they no longer have good intentions towards their own family, they are only cooperative relations with each other, and it is also a one-time cooperative relationship, so the Grand Duke has a question, and he never tires of reporting in detail: from the original Holy Ancestor coming to the door to exchange the Holy Realm care of the Holy Church and the Holy Stone for Mu's martial arts, to the fact that Mu led the Saint who visited the Nether for the second time to go to Qingyun Town to find the Holy Ancestor, and then to the Holy Ancestor asking the Mu family to take care of the only son Hua Lun born in the Nether Realm through the Holy Church, and giving the Mu family Peiyuan Danfang, The spiritual material, and in the end, the third nether realm, the saint who was entrusted by the Holy Ancestor to deliver the holy stone, destroyed the Peiyuan Danfang and confiscated the spiritual material, and the process was clear.

Everyone in the palace listened to Mu Zhengqin's detailed report, although they suspected that there was moisture, but compared to the rumors, his words were still very credible. Everyone asked about Mu's attitude towards Warren again, and learned that Mu's Holy Ancestor had been imprisoned in the Holy Realm, and the last time the Saint of the Nether Realm wanted to kill Warren, Mu's could only give up his care for Warren and leave him to fend for himself. And the eyes of the people lit up. The elder sent by the Qingyun Sect asked what the three groups of saints were searching for in the lower realm, Mu Zhengqin indicated that he did not know, but explained that he was not in the territory of the Muhai Principality, and the reason why he came to the Principality three times was because of Hua Lun.

The next day, on the 24th day of February in the Wu Yuan calendar, early in the morning, Donghai County sent officials to Qingyun Town to declare the official establishment of Jingdongwei, the acropolis was located in Qingyun Town, and then Qingyun Town was renamed Jingdongwei, the marshal was recommended by the Mu family, and the military Sima was Mu Qiusheng, the son of the Mu family, who did not arrive for the time being due to injury.

Qin Zhigang asked Hua Lun to agree, and gave the old site of the Venus Gang's den to Jingdongwei for the construction of the official office, and at the same time built a guard barracks on the west coast of the town and a guard port on the east coast of the town. The Venus Gang den is located in the west of the town, covers a large area, and is not directly connected with the surrounding dwellings, the front and rear alleys are spacious, extending in all directions, and the back is against Langya Mountain, although it is not the center of the town, but it also sits north to south, and the feng shui is excellent.

On the third day, on the 25th day of the second month of the Wu Yuan calendar, Qingyunmen sent Elder Du Weifeng to Qingyunmen to convey the instructions of the helper: appoint Hua Lun and Song Zhengzhu as the elders of Qingyunmen in Qingyunfang, Zhou Jie as the elders of Qingyunfang, and Du Weifeng will continue to remain as the elders of the outer gate and jointly act in the affairs of Qingyunfang. During his acting tenure, Qingyunmen was no longer responsible for the defense of Qingyunfang, and no longer invested in operating expenses, and the other incumbent personnel continued to remain in office.

After conveying the instructions, Elder Du smiled wryly and took out a hundred bags and handed them to Warren. Sure enough, except for the two inner doors and one outer gate elder identity waist card, there were no more materials. Since Liu Wen absconded at the end of last year, Qingyunfang has not repaid the operating fees for the next year, and has been provided by the Donghai County Branch every month. Now that the main hall and branch halls are no longer subject to operating fees, it may be difficult to continue to maintain them.

Qingyunfang is very prosperous, its own transport ships to transport supplies, the income from the purchase of seafood, as well as the leasing and operating income of the fang market can only meet one-third of the expenses in the fang, and the operating expenses of the main hall meet the remaining two-thirds, which comes from the return of the commercial tax in the fang. Now, Qingyun Town has become the Jingdong Acropolis, and the commercial tax must be handed over to Jingdongwei, whether it will be returned or not.

Hua Lun smiled generously and said, "Elder Du doesn't need to worry, fortunately, he just cleared the Venus Gang den a few days ago and obtained three Purple Spirit Crystal Beads again. According to the original plan, an auction will be held on February 28, and in addition to the original materials, three more purple spirit crystal beads will be auctioned. The estimated auction income can meet the operating expenses of Qingyunfang. When Elder Du heard this, he was skeptical, and as soon as he arrived, he heard that Sun Jin led two teams of guards to directly exterminate the Venus Gang den. It's just that I heard that Sun Jin controlled the boulder and directly smashed the den flat, and found nothing, but when Hua Lun said this, Elder Du could only listen to it.

Hua Lun was also a little unhappy in his heart, thinking to himself, you are really not virtuous, you gave us three elders an empty name, and you don't have a military salary. Well, then don't blame me for making the money myself. Especially the three brothers, they actually arranged for two to be the elders of the inner gate and one to be the elders of the outer gate, and they played the skill of killing three soldiers with two peaches, so wait for it!
