Chapter 123: I don't want to have a day when I will be dressed in a yellow robe!
Chapter 123 I don’t want to see the day when I’m wearing a yellow robe!
Eight hundred years of national destiny...
Emperor Baode's face couldn't help but become serious, enfeoffment?
"What does Jia Qing mean?"
"This is just an idea for the time being. Our Central Plains has been full of heroes since ancient times. But so many heroes have wasted their lives on this small land of their own. Why not set your sights outside the Central Plains and let these heroes
Go and work hard in the outside world, and if you are lucky enough to achieve something, you can make them become my vassals in Daqing."
Emperor Baode looked at the two cabinet ministers with a solemn expression. No wonder he was talking about the eight hundred years of national destiny. It turned out that Jia Lian wanted to entrust overseas!
"What if I don't agree?"
Jia Lian looked at Emperor Baode with a smile and called you His Majesty. Do you really think that you are the only one in the world?
"No, Your Majesty, this is not just chatting. If you have any concerns, you can tell me. Besides, don't you think this is the best way for His Highness Yi Zhong? It's better than leaving them alone in the Central Plains.
It would be much better to kill."
"..."
When it came to the person who had made Emperor Baode sleepless and uneasy in recent years, Wen Renti, the First Assistant who had been opening his mouth to speak, couldn't help but shut his mouth. For such important matters involving the succession of the throne, even he had to think twice before he dared to speak.
However, these words pierced Emperor Baode's heart a little bit. What kind of fratricide? With whom?
Glancing at the Supreme Emperor above him, Emperor Baode held back a breath and asked expressionlessly:
"What Lian Xiaoziyou means is to entrust Yi Zhong to Luzon?"
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Luzon is still too close. If the descendants of both sides become stronger in the future, there will inevitably be disputes if they are too close. Luzon goes eastward and crosses the endless ocean.
There is a rich and fertile continent that is more than twice the size of the Central Plains. I suggest that His Highness Yi Zhong and even other aspiring clan princes can be enfeoffed there!"
The east of the endless ocean? Three times the size of the Central Plains?
Emperor Baode and Wen Renti, Liu Yiping looked confused, what mythical story are you talking about?
In the Daqing Dynasty at that time, "The Central Plains is the most fertile place in the world." This concept has long been an inherent belief of all classes from top to bottom. Now you tell them, outside
There is a broader and more fertile land in the world, and the first thoughts in their minds are desolation and contempt.
However... Emperor Baode and Wen Renti looked at each other. The chief minister at that time was Emperor Baode's teacher when he was young. He was a hardcore figure in the imperial party. At least in the struggle for the throne, he absolutely supported Baode.
Emperor's.
Both of them confirmed the other's thoughts from their eyes. It seemed... it was a good idea to separate these restless guys. As for what kind of wild land they ended up going to, what did it have to do with Emperor Baode?
relation?
Prince Yizhong, Prince Wu Zhongshun, and even...the Jia family!
Huh? The Jia family…
Emperor Baode glanced at Jia Lian suspiciously, with an incomprehensible expression.
"General Jia, miasma is still raging in the southern barbarian land and malaria is rampant.
During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered Fujian and Yue, but twenty-three out of ten of his troops died of illness before they could fight. His horsemen marched to Jiaozhi, and forty-five out of ten were killed by miasma. In this dynasty, they attacked Annan several times and rebelled against the vassal, but they were all unable to do so due to malaria.
If we remain standing for a long time, we can only return to the imperial court. How can the further overseas land be a good place?
Your Majesty, in my opinion, this matter needs long-term consideration."
What Liu Yiping said is indeed reasonable. Although traditional Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years for malaria, in fact, at least at this point in time, their curative effect on malaria is almost non-existent.
Of course, Artemisia annua was also included in the prescription, but among the many prescriptions for treating malaria that were popular at that time, Artemisia annua rarely had the chance to become the main drug.
Moreover, this Qinghao seems to be different from the Qinghao of later generations.
Most of the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions used to treat malaria during this period were outrageous or even nonsense, such as Huanglong Decoction.
The decoction with such a name actually uses pig manure and human feces to boil...
…
"Master Liu's concerns are indeed reasonable, but malaria has now been solved by a secret medicine of the Westerners. This time in Jiangnan, I discovered a group of Castilian illegal churches. After checking, I found such
The existence of medicines, and some of their medical classics and nautical charts were found.
The efficacy of the medicine has been verified before, and people have also been sent to the overseas Castilian governor of Nanyang to retrieve the secret medicine - cinchona tree species. At this time, trial planting has been carried out in Yunnan and Qiongzhou.
Got it!"
Hearing Jia Lian mention his own manpower, Emperor Baode felt a little unhappy in his heart. When he heard that there was a secret cure for malaria, a horrible disease that makes people talk about it, he just nodded slightly with a dull expression.
"Speaking of which, little Lian, how strong are the people under your command now?"
"Your Majesty, you are not an outsider. I will tell you straight away. Among the Jia family's personal guards, there are thirty-one innate martial arts masters and one hundred and fifty pseudo-innate realms. The others are still unwilling to give up advancing to the innate realm.
My only hope is to become a martial artist in the acquired realm."
"..."
Five hundred personal guards, the lowest acquired level for all members???
The main hall of Longshou Palace suddenly became silent. Even the Supreme Emperor, who had been silently checking the [World Chart], couldn't help but cast his gaze over.
There are more than thirty innate masters, and the number of all the innate combat capabilities of the entire Daqing military is similar to this number!
There are still one hundred and fifty fake innates, your Jia family is going to defy heaven!
The first assistant, Wen Renti, asked quietly:
"I heard that General Jia's East China Sea Chamber of Commerce is offering a reward for a copy of "Legendary of the Warrior Monk", which even contains a legacy that is superior to innateness?"
"Oh, have you heard of it, Lord Chief Assistant? Yes! There is indeed such a inheritance, but this method is more in line with Buddhist scriptures, and it talks about the fourth level...that is, the practice above the innate is an ascetic-style self-abuse practice. According to this
It seems that the chance of success is too low, so it would not be a pity to let him go."
Jia Lian responded to Wen Tiren's questions with a smile while looking at the still solemn expressions on the faces of the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Baode.
"Haha, your majesties, are you also worried that one day I will be dressed in yellow robes by my subordinates?"
Born into a noble family, and one of the top noble families like Rongguo Mansion that had never fallen into decline, Jia Lian's character could not remain contented forever, and he waited until Rongguo Mansion was completely defeated before he started to revolt.
So, no matter in terms of people's hearts or feelings, Jia Lian had no reason or excuse to directly rebel and seize the throne.
Well...except for what Jia Lian just said about "yellow robes"!
When Emperor Baode heard the words "yellow robe plus body", his body trembled slightly, and he looked at Jia Lian's bright smile. He went through the series of actions of Jia Lian during this period in his heart, as well as the enfeoffment proposal he just mentioned, and understood.
