Chapter 464 General Soldiers of Five Towns(1/2)
"Nowadays, there are many cultivators in power in the court, which may arouse the wrath of our ancestors."
As a large number of extraordinary people intervened in the summer court and the inner court, the original officials were worried about the next changes.
Recreating the grand events of ancient times is certainly a virtue, but if it goes too far, it will be suspected of establishing a divine kingdom on earth. This is a situation that will inevitably be suppressed by human ancestors.
In ancient times, the kings with great talents and strategies, especially those who were excellent in civil and martial arts and wanted to seek immortality on earth, were all killed by human ancestors without exception.
Without any discussion or warning, he appeared suddenly, took action suddenly, and then returned to calm.
Anyone with an orderly royal lineage knows that this is a boundary. If you cross it, you will die, and there is no other possibility.
"It's not that far yet."
Nowadays, many knowledgeable people in the court gather together to discuss the future direction, and it is not that no one plans to directly start cultivation in order to cope with the current changes.
Because Ji Tianxia was one of the few ministers who came from an old family in Central Africa, most of the officials with no backers were surrounding him.
And Ji Tianxia did convince those who surrounded him because he predicted many changes in the foreign dynasty and the inner court, and most of them came true.
"Xianggong Ji, the pig Haba in the North has become powerful, and there has been no news about the 'Flying Bear Army' for several months. If there is a change, I am afraid that the North will suffer disaster in the summer and autumn. Now that the imperial court has recruited so many cultivators, demons also want to
Save money and food, but the way to save money is to enfeoff mountains and rivers in various places, or give them as dojos, or reward them as caves. If things go on like this, Daxia can't just keep one Xiayi, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Ji, together with the 'Sifanghou', the areas that the imperial court can control are becoming less and less. Last year, the money and food preparations were raised, and all the disaster relief food in Huaihe River was cut off, but there were still more than 10 million
There are two holes. The Fengxiang Army and Longxiang Army still owe more than a year of food and salary..."
Each of these things is a big deal, and any one of them may be painful, but for Ji Tianxia, the Minister of Rites, it is meaningless.
He cannot control the general trend.
"As long as the imperial court is not an official of beasts, human ancestors will not show their saintliness in the world so easily. Besides..."
Ji Tianxia raised her head and continued, "How many people still remember Renzu? You have heard about it, right? During the Chaohu Incident, the Renzu who tied up the Jishui Dragon God, compared with the records of previous dynasties,
But the power is too different."
"Is it true that as those noble families said, the heaven has changed and the human ancestors have weakened? But if this is the case, what will the human race do?"
"Yes, what will happen to the human race without the ancestors?"
Ji Tianxia agreed, and immediately thought of Wei Hao. Although they were both tall people, the madness displayed by Wei Hao made him amazed.
With one stab from Changhong Guanri, Wei became the number one assassin in history. Even the dead soldiers raised by various wealthy families would admit that this was the moment they most longed to achieve in their lives.
"If what I predict is correct, there will be some changes in the next government affairs."
"Mr. Ji, I am humble enough to listen attentively."
"Please ask Mr. Ji to clarify my doubts..."
These middle- and low-level bureaucrats do not have prominent family backgrounds, so how to avoid risks has become a daily struggle for them.
"Officials in the DPRK and Beijing should not change much. They should be engaged in administration as they were in the past. But when officials are released outside, I am afraid there will be great changes. After all, outside it is just like the wilderness in ancient times, full of demons and rebellions.
All over the land, at this time, officials are released to outsiders, regardless of whether they are the chief officials of various provinces or prefectures, which will also weaken the official prestige, and it is not easy to accumulate official reputation."
"This...why is this?"
"Because it is very likely that cultivators and monsters will start to take charge of military affairs. At that time, there will be many non-human monster soldiers who will need to be restrained by the monster general..."
"..."
With this prediction, Ji Tianxia was not making nonsense, but came to a conclusion after repeated analysis.
At the same time, Ji Tianxia also had a premonition that an opportunity would arise that would force officials in the DPRK to practice cultivation.
It's just that he doesn't know how this opportunity will occur, but one thing is certain. When he can inhale and exhale, refining the Qi, the opportunity has probably already happened.
"Ms. Ji, if so... if so..."
An official from the Ministry of Justice hesitated. After being urged by his companions, he gritted his teeth and continued, "If this is the case, wouldn't the Wei thieves be even more ferocious? I think before he was in Xiayi, he could only perform the bravery of an ordinary man, and no one can do it anymore."
If there is a change in Daxia, with his strength, he can kill monsters like chickens, and he will be even more brave..."
"To be honest." Ji Tianxia rarely smiled bitterly, "Nowadays, various methods will only push people's hearts to Wei Xiangxiang. Now he can't do everything he can. When people's hearts change, thieves and bandits are on the right track, it's just a change overnight."
It's a pity that even if she knew, Ji Tianxia was powerless. It was impossible for the prince-in-law of the outer dynasty and the queen mother of the inner court to compromise, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.
What's more, Wei Hao directly killed Li Huairou in front of everyone. Anyone who talks about negotiating with Wei Hao, no, just talks with Wei Hao, is a traitor in the imperial court, an enemy of the "Gaotao family", whoever
You have to bear this kind of pressure and then be criticized by thousands of people.
No chancellor in the court would do this, unless he planned to retire and return home, and then start cultivating immortality.
But this goes back to the original rule. If you want to cultivate immortality, you must have merit. Political animals like them have merit in China and Great Xia, and their official reputation is their merit.
The bigger the official, the greater the merit.
The greater the merit, the easier it will be to cultivate immortality after retirement.
This is a cycle.
So even if I know there is something wrong with this operation, I still stare at the last bit of wool in Xia Shi and frantically pick it up. This is instinct, inertia, and it is natural and indifferent.
It was also because he understood the lowest level rules that Ji Tianxia had already made plans. He planned to gain full official status in the Ministry of Rites in the shortest possible time, and then wait for the right time to cultivate and enter Taoism with his many years of official status.
He has consulted the records of past dynasties and has figured out more than a dozen highly feasible methods. Even if his current official position of Minister of Rites remains unchanged, once the time is right and he begins to practice Buddhism, he will at least be in the realm of ghosts and immortals.
By that time, I will also be qualified to not die in this world.
On this basis, no matter how the heaven and earth change, or how the human dynasties change, there will be more operability.
The highest level of risk aversion, from the perspective of the whole Daxia, Ji Tianxia is particularly recognized by Wei Hao.
Even though he showed off his bravery and assassinated people in the court, it was still a reckless act, but this was viewed from the perspective of the court of a human dynasty.
If it were magnified to the human world or even China, it would be completely different.
The truth is that the assassination of Wei Hao was a particularly pure act. Ji Tianxia could give a direct answer to those who were secretly grateful for his virtue - countless.
If Wei Hao cultivates his true nature, the moment he completes the assassination, his merits will be added to his body, and his cultivation will skyrocket.
It's a pity that he doesn't practice magic, so these hidden merits can only be secretly envied by knowledgeable people who understand this matter.
"Mr. Ji!"
While Ji Tianxia was explaining to the officials, shouts came from outside. A green-robed official straightened his hat and hurried in. Then he said: "The inner court has issued an order and has sealed five general officers in one go!"
"There is no vacancy at the frontier fortress, so where can we get the general officers?"
"It's absolutely true that there is an immortal slave in the inner court, and he went to the 'Xuntian Prison' to distribute official documents. I heard that the five general officers are from the 'Yuanwei Blessed Land' in Daxi Mountain, and are the disciples of an old immortal..."
"Yuanwei Blessed Land!!"
Ji Tianxia stood up abruptly, and Ji Tianxia was a little surprised. As the Minister of Rites, he was naturally very aware of the immortals and gods who had been granted imperial titles in the past dynasties.
The Taoist master of this "Yuanwei Blessed Land" is an old immortal with the Taoist name "Five Treasures Yuanweizi", and his magical power is boundless. It was recorded in the previous dynasty that he was the "Yuanhui Earth Immortal".
With a cultivation level of 129,600 years, he is an Earth Immortal who has surpassed the limits of Earth Immortals. According to the records of previous dynasties, he was respected more than some gods.
"Where are these five general military officers... appointed?"
"Huaixia."
"Where is Huaixia?"
Ji Tianxia's expression was serious. The green-robed official thought for a moment and said quickly, "Add five additional towns: Huaiyin, Shanyang, Shuyang, Siyang, and Sheyang."
"The General Soldier of the Five Towns..."
Ji Tianxia's mind went through the place names quickly. It was clear to Ji Tianxia that these five places should be places where demons are everywhere. It is impossible for children of noble families to go to these five towns to take up their posts.
Then, if it is not gold plating, it is very likely that the newly added five towns soldiers and horses will be used to make a difference.
Ordinary soldiers are definitely not good. They must be people with great supernatural powers. Not only can they make soldiers by spreading beans, but they can at least lead soldiers and horses without fear of evil spirits.
The disciples of "Yuanwei Blessed Land" are completely suitable, and maybe they can bring in a few thousands or hundreds of families...
After all, how can you lose if you fight with an immortal?
Not long after, more and more officials came to report the news, and the officials began to discuss the details. Ji Tianxia quickly found more useful information from the official documents.
For example, the chief military officer of Shuyang Town can also open a dojo in Shushui to protect the people on both sides of the strait.
Similarly, the chief military officer of Huaiyin Town can also open a dojo in Huaiyin to protect the people of Huaiyin...
It sounds reasonable, but this is nothing more than ennobling the gods, which is equivalent to giving part of the country of Daxia to the immortals as a place for preaching.
"No wonder the word 'Feng' is used..."
Many of his guesses were further turning into reality, and he really couldn't be happy.
However, one thing is certain, Wei Hao, who is now "illegally slaying demons", will at least have conflicts or even friction with the three towns of Sheyang, Shanyang and Huaiyin.
This kind of conflict is no longer something that miscellaneous troops can get involved in. Troops without the "power of a military formation" are just a mob at this time, no matter how well they are trained and prohibited.
News was flying all over the place. In order to confirm her suspicion, Ji Tianxia returned to the Ministry of Rites and easily learned all the details of the appointment.
"Earth...Earth Immortal?!"
Ji Tianxia was extremely astonished. Looking at the host and guest who were taking a break, she felt that she had heard wrong, "Are you really in the realm of earthly immortals?"
"Does the minister not believe it?"
To be continued...
