The destruction of the barbarian cavalry on the grassland was the last battle for the Chu court to unify the world.

After this battle, the general trend of the world became clearer. Knowing that they had no chance, the remaining princes and major families in the north gave up their unrealistic plans and went to Beijing to pay homage to Zhao Yuanjin one after another, expressing their willingness to hand over all their territory and military power.

Completely surrendered to the imperial court.

Zhao Yuanjin also magnanimously expressed his intention to forget the past. Except for Ye Mingce and Zhang Chen, who were granted the title of Duke of the State, the remaining small and medium-sized princes were awarded titles and land and property that fit their status so that they could spend their old age peacefully.

Therefore, in June, the imperial army successfully entered Jizhou and Youzhou and took over the governance of all counties and counties. Including Bingzhou, the entire world except for the northwest area has become one.

Only Li Yunsong, relying on his own occupation of Liangzhou and Guanzhong, actually asked to demarcate the border with the Chu Dynasty and rule it. He only submitted to the court in name and regarded himself as the lord of a vassal state.

This excessive request was immediately sternly rejected by the imperial cabinet. After the talks between the two parties collapsed, Zhao Yuanjin sent an army of 300,000 troops to attack in separate directions. Within a month, there were consecutive battles and victories, Hanzhong and Tongguan changed hands one after another, and the Chu army successfully reached the

Forced under Chang'an city.

Hundreds of thousands of troops besieged the city. Although there were still more than a hundred thousand soldiers in Chang'an City, they had lost their fighting spirit. The important families in the city secretly offered their loyalty to the Chu army through various channels in an attempt to win for their own people.

Way back.

Zhao Yuanjin once again sent people to persuade him to surrender, but Li Yunsong still refused and insisted on leading the army to fight to the end.

After several days of confrontation, the wealthy people in the city finally found an opportunity and secretly opened the city at night to surrender. Tens of thousands of Chu army elites poured into the city, and Chang'an fell.

Li Yunsong led a group of pro-troops to defend the palace, but was killed by Qin Feng. At this point, the war in Guanzhong came to an end.

In Luojing City, on the second floor of a restaurant.

"... Master Wang has captured Guanzhong, and the world has finally been unified. There will be at least another hundred years of peace." A fat merchant said with emotion.

The surrounding drinkers all agreed. In the past few years, the Qi Dynasty declined, and wars and banditry continued all over the world. The lives of the people of Li were of course miserable. This is how the saying "I'd rather be a peace dog than a man in troubled times" comes from.

"Speaking of it, the current emperor is truly destined to return. When he was trapped in Jingnan County, the mountains and rivers were exhausted and he was in danger, but he was able to escape from the trap overnight. Then he became vigorous and conquered cities and territories without any disadvantages. Until now he dominates the world.

, it only takes three years," said a scholar.

In just three years, he could rise from a run-down prince to become Emperor Taizu who controlled the world and created a new dynasty. Such an astonishing achievement, looking at the history of the past thousand years, there is no one who can compare with it.

, including the founding kings of previous dynasties, all fell short.

"But, why did I hear that the emperor was able to conquer the world all because of the unswerving assistance of the mysterious national advisor, so that he could conquer all the enemies and be invincible?" A young scholar asked doubtfully.

Nowadays, Qin Feng's existence is no longer a secret, so many people are extremely curious about him. In the past history, perhaps only the gods in ancient legends can be compared with it. For example, Xuanyuan Huangdi was besieged by Chi You

At the end of the day, when the road was at a loss, the Nine Heavens Xuannv taught him the art of war, and he finally turned defeat into victory, captured and killed Chi You, and pacified the four directions.

"Well, the power of the imperial master is unpredictable, and it will undoubtedly help the emperor's great cause." An old man nodded slightly.

Qin Feng's various deeds in this world are indeed no different from real miracles in the eyes of people who don't know the truth. Apart from him, who else can have the same ability to lift a desperate prince to the throne of the Lord of the World?

?

"I heard that the emperor plans to choose a place with good geomantic omen on the outskirts of Beijing, build a temple for the imperial master, offer sacrifices all year round, and establish an ancestral system, so that descendants of all generations will go there to worship."

"Such a favor is unheard of, but with the ability of a national teacher, I can afford it."

"Yes, this is a genuine immortal. We should also go and pay homage to him in the future."

"..."

"It's just that... although the imperial master has great achievements in the world, he doesn't have a good impression of us gentry. He actually instigated the emperor to collect taxes from us. It is really the most ridiculous thing in the world."

A scholar said with a rather dissatisfied tone: "We scholars are the foundation of the country, but the court treats us so harshly. Aren't we afraid of chilling the hearts of the people in the world?"

There was a sudden silence in the restaurant, and most of the eyes fell on him.

At a table by the window, a burly man who was drinking himself glanced at him and said calmly: "It is a matter of course that the imperial court collects taxes from the people under its rule. Why should you gentry be an exception? Are you?

Aren’t you subjects of the imperial court?”

"But I am a scholar, and I serve the king. I can only worry about you after passing the exam... How can I be compared with those mud-legged people?" the scribe blushed and retorted.

For various reasons, all dynasties have given preferential treatment to the gentry class. This was especially obvious in the Qi Dynasty. The government basically could not collect taxes from them, but they had the most wealth in the world.

, many privileges and benefits, but still not satisfied.

They have regarded this kind of preferential treatment as their natural right, which should be given to them by the court, no matter which dynasty. Dynasties can be changed, but the interests of the gentry class cannot be touched. Whoever does so will be a coward, that is,

Sinner!

"But in the final analysis, the imperial court only collected a few stones of rice and a few taels of silver from you in taxes,"

The big man sneered: "You still have the right to serve as officials, and you can still live a better life than most common people, but you are unwilling to let go of such a small benefit? To put it bluntly, your so-called loyalty to the emperor and the country are actually worth a few shi rice."

, it’s not even worth a few taels of silver!”

"But we are the foundation of the world's vitality,"

The scribe's voice became much softer, but his expression was still angry.

"Haha... if you recognize a few words and read a few books of sages, you will take it for granted that you are superior to others, and ask for preferential treatment from the court, but don't think about how much you have contributed to the world and the people? It's just a fool's errand.

They are just rotten worms waiting to die." The big man said sarcastically without politeness.

"you you……"

The scribe suddenly changed his color, grabbed the wine bottle at hand and was about to throw it at it, but when he saw that the opponent's physique was far stronger than that of an ordinary person, he hesitated a little.

"You really don't dare?"

The big man gave him a disdainful glance: "When a certain family followed the emperor to conquer the north and south, I killed too many people like you with one knife! They are all useless garbage."

"..."

In a quiet corner.

Qin Feng and Yun Qijun sat opposite each other, watching the argument calmly.

"After the imperial decree was promulgated, I heard that many gentry and landlords in the south gathered to make trouble. In a few months, there were hundreds of incidents." Yun Qijun looked at him and said.

“It’s normal,”

Qin Feng said disapprovingly: "There are always some people who don't understand the general trend and don't understand the general situation. Once the knife is cut down and a group of them are killed, the rest will naturally become honest."

Nowadays, the imperial court has not been established for a long time, and the ministers and ministers are all outstanding figures who have experienced the bloody battles of the founding of the country. How can they shrink back and hesitate by merely inciting public opinion and gathering people to cause trouble?

Anyway, we have killed a lot of people, and it would not be a big deal to add more of them. Without these pretentious and superior literati, the world might be more peaceful and peaceful.

"Okay, let's not mention this anymore."

Yun Qijun looked at him steadily: "How long do you have until you leave?"

Now that the world has been unified, Qin Feng's mission has been completed, and it may not take long for him to go to the next world.

"About half a year."

Qin Feng said: "But my incarnation will sit in this world to cultivate, and I will come back often, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Yun Qijun breathed a sigh of relief. She had not yet reached the level of true immortal. If Qin Feng really left simply like this, she would not have any hope of continuing as the leader of the spiritual world.

I'm afraid there will also be big problems in the Chu State's court. Don't forget the huge wealth in the name of the imperial master. Once they lose the absolute deterrence of force, they will be a super fat piece of meat to those officials.

"In the future, can you... take me away with you? I also want to follow you to see the world outside." Yun Qijun hesitated and said hesitantly.

"There is really no way around this. Except for myself, no living being in this world can break through the world barrier and leave." Qin Feng shook his head.

Not to mention that the current starships do not have the ability to take people through time and space at all. Even if they did, he would not dare to mess around. God knows what unpredictable consequences it would cause?

The starship center once vaguely reminded that the secrets deep in the space-time plane are far from as simple as he thought before. If you do whatever you want when your power is not strong enough, don't you think you will die quickly enough?

Yun Qijun sighed sadly, and did not continue to insist. Instead, she said: "This morning, the news came from the sect that the ancestor has successfully left seclusion."

Qin Feng responded lightly, this was the second true immortal born in the world of cultivation in the past thousand years.

The first one is of course himself, but this is because he has obtained enough world power and can only be useful in this world. After traveling to other worlds in the future, he will still only have the strength equivalent to the peak of human immortals.

"It seems that in the past six months, I will often practice by your side and strive to make a breakthrough as soon as possible." Yun Qijun stared at him angrily.

"no problem."

Qin Feng agreed, and she had already accumulated a lot. With the help of the world's authority, she should be able to do it in another half year.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them got up, went downstairs, and took the car back to the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Entering the backyard, Zhao Xinyue greeted her enthusiastically: "Sir, let's go drive. Mother will be here later."

"..."
Chapter completed!
