Chapter 366: Quietly Destroying the Southern Kingdom
"After the election?"
Li Mo's expression changed.
Logically speaking, the post-election process is not a trivial matter. It will take at least half a year to complete, and it shouldn't be that quick.
"Your Majesty, there are so many beautiful girls recommended by ministers from all walks of life..."
Dan Qiusheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, telling the truth.
It turns out that since the official documents of the draft were issued, unlike other vassal countries where many folk ladies were hiding in Tibet, the ladies of the Dragon Kingdom were rushing to send them in. In less than ten days, state officials from all over the country came to
There were too many outstanding beauties in the provincial books and reports, and daily government affairs were affected.
"Too much? What do the two adults mean?"
Li Mo was stunned.
Although the harem nominally has three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, in fact there are not that many.
"Your Majesty, I mean... to extend the draft time so that state officials from various places can better select candidates. I wonder if your Majesty will agree?"
"It's natural!"
Seeing the expressions of the two ministers, Li Mo couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded.
Judging from their looks, they should be afraid that they can't wait any longer.
But as a time-travelling person, it is normal to get married and have children in your thirties, not to mention that I am only twenty-four or five years old, not to mention a year and a half, but three or two years is fine. Anyway, things will be settled in the end.
"I obey the decree!"
Hearing that it could be postponed, Master Zeng and Dan Qiusheng looked at each other and nodded.
Now that this matter has been launched, it must be handled properly, and things like Zhou Yurou's will never happen again.
"By the way, the two Qing family members...have the 50,000 troops of our Dragon Kingdom ever arrived in Jianping County?"
After a pause, Li Mo suddenly thought of something and asked again.
It is said that the day after meeting Zhang Xu, news came back from the Ange that the person who was causing trouble behind the Wang family was found to be Yang Guoxiao from the Southern Kingdom.
So Qin Fang and Cheng Ruobing were temporarily transferred from Lingxiao Palace to let them resolve the matter.
"Your Majesty, General Qin has sent news that our army has arrived in Jianping County. It seems that the South Kingdom has also received the news and is gathering an army. It is estimated that there will be a big battle within two or three days. After the battle, it will be impossible to capture the South Kingdom.
question!"
When the war was mentioned, Master Zeng immediately spoke.
Although there are more than 200,000 Jiannan troops in the southern country, he is not worried at all that Qin Fang and Cheng Ruobing will be defeated. Not to mention that Qin Fang and Cheng Ruobing are already innate-level masters, and the strength of the cavalry under their command has also ushered in.
a wave of growth,
This time, the Dragon Kingdom's 50,000 cavalry also brought nearly a hundred red cannons. With this alone, the Dragon Kingdom was already in an invincible position.
"Well, has the governor chosen to take over Jiannan County been selected?"
Li Mo nodded slightly and asked again.
The moment he sent out troops, he did not want to leave another chance to the two brothers Yang Guozhong and Yang Guoxiao.
"It has been decided that this person's name is Li Mi! He has the ability to govern the country and should be able to take over Jiannan County in an instant!"
After thinking about it, Dan Qiusheng replied.
"Li Mi?"
Li Mo was shocked.
This name is very familiar. If you remember correctly, he was also a famous minister in the Middle Tang Dynasty in the history of the earth, with the talent of a prime minister! He is extremely reliable in terms of talent and loyalty, but it is really unclear when he became a minister of the Dragon Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, Li Mi originally served as an official in the former Tang Dynasty and was dismissed from his post because he was dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong and An Lushan. He has been living in seclusion in Wudang Mountain. After the establishment of the Dragon Kingdom, we were in short supply of talents... so I went to pick him up.
Ruyang, when he first served as a subordinate officer, he did not go to court!"
Dan Qiusheng was surprised when he saw Li Mo and then explained how Li Mi came to Ruyang as an official.
"So that's what it is!"
Li Mo nodded slightly.
He just said that he didn't know Li Mi. It turned out that this person was not qualified to go to court before.
Master Zeng and Dan Qiusheng are already old. Once they retire...Li Mi will be a very good successor.
"Your Majesty...that...he..."
"Order him to go to court tomorrow and then take over Jiannan County again."
"yes!"
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."
After talking about Southern China, Master Zeng suddenly thought of something and reported it again.
"It's okay for the Qing family to just talk!"
"Your Majesty, there is news from the Ange that the Khitan will submit a tribute letter to our Dragon Kingdom in the near future. You see..."
Master Zeng told the story.
Nowadays, there are more and more secret agents in the secret chamber, and they are no longer limited to the Dragon Kingdom. They are distributed in all the secular vassal states. Therefore, if there is any movement in the various vassal states, the Dragon Kingdom will receive the news immediately.
This is an example,
The Khitan's credentials and envoys had not yet arrived in Ruyang, but they had already received the news.
Not to mention this, the Ange has recently begun to develop the secret agents of the Hidden Sect. Once successful, the Dragon Kingdom will also know about the Hidden Sect immediately.
"Yelüqi? What do you two ministers mean?"
Li Mo's expression changed slightly.
He didn't have much ill feelings toward Yeluqi. When the Dragon Kingdom was founded, he was the only one among the vassal states whose king personally visited him, which was considered a good deal.
"I think that as long as the Khitan monarch pays enough tribute every year and is sincere enough to accept this vassal state, it is not a bad idea."
Master Zeng thought for a while and expressed his thoughts,
"But other countries need to think again, especially Tubo!"
"Then it's settled. Let's see first whether the Khitan is sincere or not."
"Um!"
In this way, as the night got darker, the monarch and his ministers chatted for more than two hours.
at last,
When Li Mo said goodbye to the two of them, it was almost the ugly time the next day.
"Two prime ministers, how are Lin Dong and Xiaoman doing? Have they ever adapted?"
Li Mo asked casually.
Luo Yun and Luo Kong had brought Lin Dong and Xiaoman back to Ruyang a few days ago.
After meeting the two of them, he handed over Lin Dong to Lingxiao Pavilion and Xiaoman to Ruyang Embroidery Workshop, especially Xiaoman. She was very talented in embroidery and as long as she was trained well, she would definitely be able to take charge of Ruyang Embroidery Workshop in the future.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Lin Langjun and Miss Xiaoman have adapted to life in Ruyang in just a few days. Especially Lin Donglangjun... his qualifications are extremely high... Mr. Pei and others are full of praise.
The achievements will not be low."
"That's good!"
........
The sun rises and sets, and three days pass in the blink of an eye.
Everything is going as usual in Ruyang City, and the people are becoming more and more fond of Ruyang now, especially since the Longguo Medical Department has built several new Longguo medical clinics, which have solved many of the problems that ordinary people have in seeking medical treatment, making the people have a greater respect for their Majesty Li Mo.
He was so respected that some people even had statues of Li Mo in their homes.
but,
Early in the morning, a sudden news detonated Ruyang City.
"What? It's impossible! The Southern Kingdom has been captured by our Dragon Kingdom?"
A vendor selling candied haws couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"It's just that I didn't hear any news that our Dragon Kingdom was going to attack the Southern Kingdom. How come the Southern Kingdom... was destroyed!"
The vendor selling crispy pears next to him also had a look of disbelief.
"It's true. The news just came back from Xiangyang. Our Dragon Kingdom's 50,000 cavalry fought against the South Kingdom's 25 Sword Southern Army at the border yesterday evening. They killed all the generals of Jiannan County in a bloody battle overnight. It seems that there are also the previous ones.
Yang Guoxiao, the leader of the Tianyin Sect... At this moment, our Dragon Kingdom cavalry has marched straight into Huanglong and headed straight towards Jiannan County."
Opposite the two, a storyteller replied very seriously.
