Chapter 209 Cousin and cousin arrive, and the whole person is not good. (Leader
The next day, Jiang Yao entered the palace to meet Lord Qing.
"Prime Minister, Grand Tutor Jiang Yao comes to see you!" the salute officer at the entrance of Qinghuang Palace sang in accordance with the etiquette of the new dynasty.
Since Jiang Yao has not yet been given the right to praise and worship the nameless person, when he enters the palace now, he still needs to announce his name.
Immediately afterwards, the young prime minister, wearing a crown and sash and holding a snake staff, entered the Qinghuang Palace looking like a human and a dog.
Although this person has not been given the courtesy of entering the court, he only took three symbolic steps and walked straight into the main hall.
With the snake staff in his hand, "Duoduo" paused on the ground, echoing in the hall.
At this time, Qingzhu had taken the medicine eight times, and his trust in ginger medicine was simply incredible.
He even issued a special edict: the prime minister's order is equivalent to the emperor's order.
When he learned that he was ranked 149th on the Earth Ranking even though he was a Martial God, Qingzhu was very happy and thought that the reason why he was ranked on the Earth Ranking for the first time was because of the Prime Minister's transformation.
.
I have total trust in ginger medicine.
He said to Lan Sheng: "If it weren't for the Prime Minister's reform, how would I have been able to be on the land list?"
The tone of his voice expressed that he was very proud of his unreserved trust in Jiang Yao, and was quite happy.
After a few words, Lan Sheng retreated in disappointment.
Today, Qingzhu basically no longer participates in the government affairs of the new dynasty except for practicing in seclusion.
This time, Master Qing was really overjoyed when he saw Jiang Yao coming to the palace for an audience.
"I am deeply sorry that I have not seen you for a long time, Prime Minister." Master Qing said as if it was a happy occasion.
Whenever he sees ginger medicine, he feels at ease, relieved and happy.
Jiang Yao waved the feather fan in his hand, his eyes full of peace and contentment, and he saluted symbolically: "Although I am outside the palace, I am always grateful for my lord's kindness."
"Prime Minister please."
"Lord Qing."
After the monarch and his ministers sat down at the table, Lord Qing first congratulated him and said: "I didn't expect that the Prime Minister could be ranked twenty-fourth on the list of people. It really makes me overjoyed. The Prime Minister has become famous and well-known in China. I congratulate you."
"I can't believe that I, the Prime Minister of Daqing New Dynasty, am such an amazing and talented young man. I was disrespectful before."
Jiang Yao lightly shook his feather fan and said: "My lord is so complimentary, how dare I say this as your lord. I also congratulate my lord. This time my lord can be ranked among the outstanding people in the world, I am extremely pleased and overjoyed. This is a great blessing for me, Da Qing."
.”
The monarch and his ministers complimented each other in a strange way, and then got down to business.
"My lord, I have received a secret report that the Yue clan and other martial arts families will send a delegation to our Daqing capital. The purpose is to force the lord to abolish the new law and kill the minister to apologize."
Lord Qing gritted his teeth and said: "They dare to interfere in our internal affairs of Da Qing. They are really outrageous and rude. Don't worry, Prime Minister, my heart is as solid as a rock, and I will never be moved by it."
Jiang Yao smiled slightly: "I thank my lord for your trust. However, my lord might as well pretend to be in trouble and use a delaying strategy to delay the attack for ten days and a half."
"In this way, our army will be better prepared. On the other hand, if we fight against the coalition forces, we will have a better chance of winning."
Master Qing nodded: "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. Then I will delay it for half a month. Since we are taking the initiative to fight this battle, it is better to put all our efforts into it."
Jiang Yaodao: "My lord, please rest assured. Thirty thousand Wu Zun casual cultivators have been recruited and are being trained secretly. I have also ordered the recruitment of one hundred Wu Zhen masters to train the Baizhen formations day and night to defend Qinghuang City. It can be said to be impregnable."
"The leader of the Music Tribe is a quasi-sage with powerful strength. When the time comes, this person is likely to rely on his cultivation to attack the emperor's palace. I also have countermeasures..."
The monarch and his ministers discussed it for a long time before Jiang Yao left the palace and returned home.
Immediately afterwards, one after another imperial edicts flew out of the Jun's Mansion, and one after another Prime Minister Jun's edicts also flew out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Those who received the order immediately set up arrangements in full swing.
Countermeasures have been formulated, and now it depends on how the surrounding martial arts factions will take action.
The Qing clan during the reform was like a tiger, sharpening its claws in secret, and ready to resist with force the allied forces of the armed clans at any time.
The next day, Qingzhu, on a whim, issued another edict:
"Prime Minister, Grand Tutor, General of Hussars, Governor of all military forces at home and abroad, Jiang Yao, with great hard work, talented people, noble character, and commendable loyalty. In fact, he is a pure minister of Daqing Gu, who is unyielding and can move the sky and shake the earth."
"If there is no Prime Minister, how can there be any reform? Although the Prime Minister is a minister, he is actually a person who has been reborn in Daqing. I really don't know how to cherish him..."
"According to the "Official Ceremony", the Prime Minister is given a fake yellow ax to praise and worship without recognition, and he will not be attracted to the court. He will be rewarded with 10 million spiritual jade, and will be rewarded with a cloud chariot with a unicorn, dragon and scales. Looking at the court and the public, they regard the Prime Minister as a mediocre person.
.Appreciate this!”
After the imperial edict was issued, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty could not avoid going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to congratulate him.
Qingzhu has a cool and sinister nature, but he really loves his prime minister by undressing him and giving him food.
………
"Zhongda, I would like to advise you one last thing, leave the Qing Clan behind and follow me back to the Yu Clan in the Central Region."
In the magnificent courtyard of the Prime Minister's residence, Yu Shu, the cheap aunt, said worriedly.
Pieces of withered yellow leaves were rolled up by the cold wind, and she seemed to see the fate of ginger medicine. It was a bleak fate that she could not bear to talk about, nor could she bear to see.
"Sister, you can't stand it anymore, are you leaving?" Jiang Yao had expected it. He poured a cup of tea for Yu Shu with a regretful expression, pointed to the solemn scene outside the court and said:
"The four seasons change, and this is the principle of the cycle of yin and yang. We should adapt to the conditions of the time and follow the trend, because the way of heaven is impermanent. Winter comes after autumn, and spring comes after winter, just like day and night, the moon sets and the sun rises."
"It has been tens of thousands of years in Shenzhou, how can anything remain unchanged?"
"Sister, I know very well that you understand in your heart, but you can't agree. It's just because you and I have different positions. I don't blame you either. Sister can go back on her own, and I can take care of myself here."
Yu Shu sighed, her beautiful eyes filled with sadness: "Zhongda, why are you here? What do you want? Are you just trying to fulfill your own desires, for the sake of your benevolent government?"
"You won't succeed. What will be the result? Even if you withstand the Le clan, can you still withstand the other martial clans? Can you withstand the powerful Jin clan?"
"Ten thousand steps back, even if you really withstand the Jin clan, can you withstand all the martial arts clans? You are fighting against the world's martial arts clans with only a small area. If a cricket flies to shake a tree, a mantis's arm is used as a chariot, it will be a disaster.
Bureau."
"If any Martial Saint takes action, the entire Qing clan, including you, will be wiped out."
"Your actions are even more intolerable to the powerful people of the martial arts family in the world than rebelling. How will you get along with Kuier? How difficult will it be for her?"
Jiang Yao sighed and smiled bitterly: "Sister, maybe it's fate. I can't stop doing this. I can only continue to do it without hesitation. As for the Yu clan... I want to ask, can't I become the Yu Kingdom?"
"Yu Kingdom? What is that?" Yu Shu was puzzled.
Jiang Yao explained: "It's almost like the Qing Clan. The Qing Clan can no longer be called the Wu Clan because it is no longer owned by the Wu family nobles. Today's Qing Clan is a country, but it doesn't have a country."
"If the Yu clan establishes a country and establishes a dynasty, the Yu family will be able to claim the title of king and implement reforms. The royal family will be more noble and the people's lives will be easier, isn't it good?"
Yu Shu shook her head: "If the Yu clan does this, it will immediately fall apart and war will break out. The Yu clan is not the Yu clan of the Yu family. There are many important ministers and military leaders who are all giant clans with thousands of years of history. Their strength is intertwined. How can we obey?"
"When the Yu clan is in chaos, and the surrounding martial clans attack, can the Yu clan still exist? You can succeed because the Qing clan is too small, and the opponents are just small aristocratic families. They are not as big as those of the Yu clan with deep roots and profound heritage.
Super rich family."
"Any one of the top Yu Clan wealthy families is more powerful than a second-class martial arts clan. Their influence is spread all over the place and is pervasive. The Yu family is just the most powerful family among them. The so-called clan leader is just the leader of the alliance."
"There are four great martial saints in the Yu clan, two of whom are important ministers, not named Yu. There are seventeen quasi-sages in the Yu clan, ten of whom are not named Yu. They are within the Yu clan, just like the Wu clan, they occupy a large amount of land
, soldiers, horses, resources.”
"If all the feudal lords do this, chaos will break out in the Divine Continent. Why shouldn't the two demon clans take the opportunity to invade?"
"So, if a tycoon wants to claim kingship and build a country, he is simply asking for his own destruction. They are all sober, how could they do what you do?"
Jiang Yao nodded and said: "Sister, what I mean is that the lords are actually willing to become kings, but they are just powerless, right?"
Yu Shu said: "Which clan leader doesn't want to monopolize power and keep his word? Which clan leader is willing to just be the leader? However, for the support of the major martial arts families, we can only maintain this balance. This situation cannot be touched or broken!"
Jiang Yao thought for a while and said: "After I return, I can convey my younger brother's words to your father, saying that I hope to give me twenty years to set an example in the Western Regions, which may have unexpected effects."
"Sister, please tell those lords that even if I, Jiang Yao, am an enemy of the Wu family, I may not be an enemy of the lords."
Yu Shu smiled bitterly: "I will definitely tell you, but I'm sure it won't make any sense. Things are really not as simple as you think."
"As long as Kuier is here, the Yu family will promise not to touch you, and will give you at least ten or twenty years. But for other martial arts families, it's different."
"Zhongda, thank you for the Taiyin Youlian lotus root you gave me. I will never forget it. No matter what, Kuan'er and I will save your life. But I can't guarantee anything else."
After the two talked about this, they finally could no longer cooperate closely because of their positions.
Parting ways is certain.
Yu Shu left the Qing clan without staying for even a day. However, she left her bodyguard behind.
After all the calculations, she only stayed for a year and a half.
Jiang Yao looked at Yu Shu's flying spaceship and thought that the next time they meet, they may be enemies rather than friends.
Things in the world are really unpredictable, and people’s hearts are unpredictable.
………
"Is this the Qing Vale?" Outside Qinghuang City, a luxurious spaceship landed, and a group of people stepped off the ship, all with strong auras.
The leader among them was a young man.
This young man is less than forty, and he is like a peerless sword, with sharp sword intent.
It is none other than the young master of the Mu clan, Mu Yue.
There were two beautiful girls beside him, one on the left and one on the right, one was Mu Yaochai and the other was Jiang Xiucheng.
The three brothers and sisters took the teleportation array to the Western Region, and then took the spaceship over at the teleportation array station. It can be said that they came from a long distance.
As for the purpose of coming, of course it is to bring ginger medicine back to Qingva.
"Why does it feel different here?" Mu Yue looked at the crowds coming in and out of the city, feeling a little confused.
It seems different here than other places.
After entering Qingmen along the way, I didn't see the fighting that is common in other places.
Moreover, the appearance of the casual cultivators seems to be very good, with many of them looking bright and excited.
What happened to this master?
Mu Yue did not enter Qinghuang City immediately.
He saw a group of people heading towards a mine, and they all looked happy, especially Rahan.
"Little sister, cousin, let's go to that mine first. This place seems a bit strange."
After Mu Yue finished speaking, he collected the spaceship, gathered his breath, and headed for the mine with a group of people.
This mine is a fourth-level medium mine with dense caves and more than 10,000 miners are always busy.
Each group of several people is responsible for a mine.
Although there were many miners, there were no supervisors or soldiers to suppress the chaos.
But the miners have no intention of being lazy.
strangeness.
Whose mine is this? Where is the mine manager? Where is the supervisor? Where is the soldier?
There is no supervision or control among the miners, so why are they so motivated?
Mu Yue moved his breath to the warrior cultivation base, and then walked over.
"Brother, may I ask who owns this mine? Why are there no supervisors or soldiers?" Mu Yue came to a mine at the edge and asked a warrior who flew out of the hole carrying ore.
"Whose property?" The miner smiled.
"You are not a member of my Qing clan, are you? This is no one's property, but the imperial court's property." The warrior Yue Yuan successfully saw Mu Yuefu's luxurious clothes and noble demeanor, so he did not dare to neglect it.
What is the imperial court?
Mu Yue was even more confused?
"The imperial government's property is publicly owned, and is allocated to us for management. We only pay 30% of the income, and the rest is our own. Where do we need supervisors and soldiers?"
Mu Yue frowned and said, "Is this the confiscation of the Wu family's property?"
The samurai's happy face immediately darkened: "Yes. This was the Han family's property before, but if the Han family rebels against the imperial court, of course his mines will be confiscated."
He saw that Mu Yue was also a nobleman of the Wu family, so his tone became harsh.
Mu Yue did not ask again, but left with deep thoughts.
"Yao Chai, Xiucheng, let's enter the city. I want to see what the city looks like and what's weird about this Qing clan."
Mu Yue and his two girls entered the city smoothly.
The so-called Qing Clan Juncheng is just a small town in his eyes, not worth mentioning.
Soon I saw an arena.
The arena is divided into a life and death stage and a victory and defeat stage. When Mu Yue inquired about it, he was immediately surprised.
Good guy, it turns out that the Qing clan is guilty of murder!
Those who murder treasures and kill innocent people are not even considered capital crimes and must be arrested and tried by the government.
There is also a "Da Qing Jian Lu".
In the real world, there are risks in killing people. However, this risk mainly comes from the revenge of the relatives and friends of the killed person, or from being taken advantage of by others.
But neither the city lord nor the lord will care about killing people. This is because the city lord and lord also kill people casually. The more powerful and high-status they are, the more casually they kill.
Killing is the right of the strong and the noble. This has been the case since ancient times.
Just talk about Mu Yue himself, how many people did he kill?
Then according to the "Da Qing Jian Lu", wouldn't he deserve to die and commit a heinous crime?
After seeing the posted laws, the Mu brothers and sisters looked very gloomy.
What kind of place is this mere Qing Clan?
Who would have done these shocking things? The clan leader? Wouldn’t the martial artists object?
But after some inquiries, the faces of the Mu brothers and sisters became even more ugly.
Ginger medicine reform!
The new policy of the imperial court!
Most of the martial arts families in the Qing clan were confiscated and exterminated!
The huge resources they had accumulated for many years were actually distributed by the imperial court to casual cultivators!
County and county offices were set up in various places, and all the city lords and lords were deposed!
The industries of the martial arts have all become state-owned or publicly owned!
All of this was actually done by my cousin Jiang Longcheng!
This is not bad!
What does he want to do?
This cousin is too courageous, and he has done something inexplicable to become the prime minister or the master!
What kind of hussar general is he? He is the governor of all military affairs at home and abroad. He is very majestic!
What's even more speechless is that he was praised by the whole city.
When Prime Minister Lao Shizi Jiang was mentioned, many people showed admiration.
Jiang Xiucheng also didn't expect that after not seeing his brother for two years, he would make such a big fuss.
But her senses are different from those of her cousins, and she thinks this is good.
really good.
I never thought that my brother could do such a big thing.
She couldn't help but feel proud.
After careful investigation, Mu Yue finally calmed down from his initial anger.
He thought for a while and had to admit: "My cousin is very courageous. He did the right thing and did it well."
However, my cousin shouldn’t do this either, he can’t do this!
He also didn't approve of his cousin doing this.
My father and Mu Clan would not agree either!
Mu Yue came to the heavily guarded Prime Minister's Mansion with a solemn expression, and said unceremoniously: "I want to see Jiang Yao, and his cousin, cousin, and sister will come to visit in person."
Jiang Yao, who was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, was not surprised when he heard the announcement.
He had known for a long time that Uncle Cheap would send someone here.
I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
It seems that they will come as soon as the monthly vote list meeting of Medicine Road Shrine is over.
"Go and see for yourself."
Jiang Yao stood up and took Uncle Lang out.
Sure enough, it was really Mu Yue, Mu Yaochai, and Jiang Xiucheng.
"Brother." Jiang Xiucheng's face lit up when he saw Jiang Yao, and he finally called him brother.
"Xiucheng, why are you here? They are..." Jiang Yao asked pretending to be ignorant.
Jiang Xiucheng quickly introduced: "Brother, this is cousin Mu Yue, and this is cousin Mu Yaochai. I have found my uncle..."
Then, he briefly told what happened when he was found by Mu Wuji in the Central Territory.
Jiang Yao showed a look of "surprise" and said: "It turns out to be my cousin, cousin, uncle. Is he okay?"
He really didn't want to associate with the Mu family, but he also knew that there was no way to escape.
Mu Yue said angrily: "Of course your uncle is very good, but if he knew what you did, it might not be good. Cousin, what do you want me to say?"
Mu Yaochai also said unceremoniously: "Cousin, what are you going to do? We should be happy to see each other as siblings, but you... well, let's talk about it after we go in."
Jiang Yao personally brought a few people into the inner court, and Mu Yue got straight to the point:
"We already understand almost everything. I really didn't expect you to be so brave!"
"You are a retainer, lord, why do you do this? You don't want your life? What do you want?"
"If your uncle knew, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to justify it without a reprimand."
"Today, when you and I meet as brothers, we should be happy and having a drink. But after knowing all this nonsense about you, I don't have any thoughts at all."
Jiang Yao sighed: "Cousin, this man has to do something while he is still alive, right?"
Mu Yue was silent for a while and shook his head: "I'm not saying what you did is wrong, but you can't do it. You are seeking death. It hasn't spread yet. Once it spreads, will you still have a way to survive?"
"Many people will kill you, many."
"You are number 25 on the Herringbone monthly vote list. That is an incredible talent. Don't ruin yourself."
Mu Yaochai also said: "Your uncle will never let you do whatever you want. Come back with us quickly and leave in three days, okay?"
Jiang Yao shook his head: "Cousin, I can't go back with you. I'm used to it here."
He would never go to the Mu Clan and be controlled by that cheap uncle.
Although Qing clan and Daming Mountain are small, they are his own foundation.
Mu Yaochai frowned:
"Cousin, don't be confused. You are the twenty-fifth person next to the Chinese character, and you are also a medicine spirit body. You have a bright future. Your uncle plans to use you to become the Taoist disciple of the Medicine Dao Shrine. Besides, what does Mu Clan have?"
"Is it reasonable not to go and meet my uncle after I know who he is?"
Mu Yue said coldly: "Your uncle has said that you have to go even if you go, and you have to go if you don't go. As long as he is here, it will not be your turn to be willful, let alone see you destroy yourself."
"You come back with me and abandon everything here. We can hide what you do here for you."
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly: "Cousin, cousin, I'm very grateful that you came all the way to pick me up. But... I still have something to do for the time being, so I really can't go back with you."
Mu Yue said solemnly: "I came here this time, just in case, but I brought a Martial Immortal and three Martial Gods with me. Cousin, do you think there is room for refusal? If you are stubborn, don't blame me.
Thanks."
Jiang Yao looked extremely embarrassed and stopped talking.
Mu Yue immediately realized something was wrong.
"Cousin, does he have something to hide?"
Jiang Yao stood up and searched around the tightly guarded painting hall before saying with a helpless expression: "I really don't dare to say anything."
Mu Yue frowned and said: "Cousin, to tell you the truth, you are a direct descendant of Shennong Tiancheng and a close relative of my Mu family. What do you have to be afraid of?"
Jiang Yao pretended to be surprised when he heard the direct pulse of Shennong Tiancheng, and then let out a long sigh.
"Is it true? I just found out today that I am a direct descendant of Shennong Tiancheng."
"But even if Shennong Tiancheng is thrown into the United Mu Clan, I don't dare to say anything."
After Jiang Yao finished speaking, he pointed to the top of his head with his finger, meaning: heaven.
Mu Yue was stunned at first, and then his expression changed.
He seemed to have thought of something.
"My cousin is saying that it was three ancient people who asked you to do this?"
Jiang Yao's face turned pale: "Cousin, don't talk nonsense, be careful of big trouble!"
Mu Yue also became solemn, "Don't worry, Jiugong Gua Sheng told your uncle that the three ancient seniors have left the Divine Continent, and it is estimated that they will not come back for more than ten years at the earliest, or for decades at the earliest?"
"Seriously?" Jiang Yao asked with a happy expression.
Mu Yue even verified his guess: "Seriously. The Jiugong Gua Sheng cannot be wrong about this. The three ancients are no longer in the Divine Continent, so you can rest assured."
Jiang Yao smiled with relief, looking much more relaxed.
"Forget it, since Gua Sheng has calculated that the senior has left, I will tell you. But I have something to say first. This matter is related to my life, so please keep it secret."
The expressions of the Mu brothers and sisters became more solemn than ever before.
They speculated that the reason why their cousin did such weird things must have something to do with the ancients.
