Chapter 123 The Seventeenth Emperor of the Northern Qin Dynasty
Chapter 123 The seventeenth emperor of Northern Qin this year
With a customized identity of one thousand life points, you can customize any identity up to the world limit.
This seems to be a BUG of the Ship of Fortune. In fact, it has been described before. If there is not enough fate to suppress it, and the identity is too high-profile, it may only be felt for a moment.
For example, if he is customized as the commander-in-chief of a huge country, he will die suddenly on the spot due to various reasons and reasons.
Or if you customize the identity of the leader or elder of a certain major sect, you will inevitably be in a desperate situation where you have lost all your skills and are being hunted by a large number of powerful enemies.
So don’t even think about reaching the sky in one step.
Monks who are truly qualified to suppress these identities essentially no longer need the bonus of such identities. Therefore, mature cross-border practitioners should use their capabilities and stop in moderation when customizing their identities.
All in all, if you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work. If you don't have strong enough cultivation, a big enough destiny, and a treasure that can suppress your luck, don't easily challenge those difficult identities.
A good identity is indeed very beneficial to the start, but it also distorts too many people's perceptions, so the backlash from this world is also particularly serious.
Theoretically speaking, with Ye Chuxiao's current strength and confidence, he should not have chosen such a challenging position as emperor.
However, because of Ye Chuqi, he had some confidence and had a reason to choose.
The Huangdou Realm is vast, and in terms of overall area, it is not inferior to Daheng in the slightest. However, it is different from Daheng in that the Huangdou Realm is divided into five quite powerful countries, as well as dozens of smaller countries.
Survive in the cracks between these five powerful countries.
Northern Qin is a small peninsula country close to the far north. The land area is not large, but there are quite a lot of bullshit.
Ye Chuxiao was sitting quietly on a chair that could only carve dragons, staring blankly at the clan nobles lined up on both sides below, listening to the envoy from the sect leader Qiang Chu read out the list of tributes for the coming year.
There was no imperial examination system in the Northern Qin Dynasty, and all civil and military officials were recommended by court officials. Therefore, when the reign of the Northern Qin Dynasty was close to 400 years ago, the power of clan nobles had become entangled both inside and outside the court, and it was obviously beyond control.
With limited domestic resources and the inability to expand externally, these clan nobles who originally relied on sucking blood from Northern Qin have now entered a stage of strangulation and embezzlement.
The fighting in the court had been endless for more than ten years.
As for the Northern Qin Emperor Li Zishan that Ye Chuxiao now incarnates, he is the seventeenth emperor of the Northern Qin Dynasty who ascended the throne this year.
That's right, it's this year, not the Communist Party.
"According to my younger brother Ye Chuqi, before the fall of the country, the Northern Qin Dynasty entered a period of extreme chaos and fighting for power. The two major factions headed by the Qu family in Jiangyang and the Ming family in Nanshan continued to grow in fighting and mergers, and gradually became more powerful in the court.
On the court, it evolved into a tit-for-tat confrontation between the two forces. This also led to the Northern Qin Emperor, who was almost regarded as a puppet, always having accidents. In just one year, twenty-three emperors were replaced.
This emperor finally triggered the secession war in the second year, and the small Northern Qin once again split into two parts, the north and the south. Then in the following year, it was swallowed up by the Chu State, and the Northern Qin completely became history."
"When I first came to Huangdou Realm, Northern Qin had already fallen into the past. However, it was the treasure of the Li family of Northern Qin that caused a series of turmoil in the world, which made him pay attention to this small and dying country. And
An important treasure that had been ignored or forgotten by the Northern Qin Li family was also revealed in that turmoil, causing huge fighting and disputes."
"And the reason why I chose the identity of the Emperor of Northern Qin is to use the maximum and most convenient identity to get close to the treasures of Northern Qin and take out the Guanjian treasure that will help me improve my cultivation." Recalling the reason for choosing the identity.
So far.
Ye Chuxiao began to sort out the transferred memories of being ‘Li Zishan’.
In memory, he is a branch of the Li family of the Northern Qin royal family. Due to the replacement of sixteen emperors within a year, the few descendants of the main lineage clan in Northern Qin are now all interested in the position they once longed for.
Fear him like a tiger.
Those with some ability fled abroad one after another, abandoning their ancestral heritage long ago.
Therefore, "Li Zishan", a member of the side branch who had no right to resist, was pushed to the throne inexplicably.
He didn't even have a decent succession ceremony. He simply read it out in the court hall by the Minister of General Affairs, and then he became the 31st emperor of Northern Qin and the 17th emperor who ascended the throne this year.
If there were no accidents, he would lose his life within a month due to sudden illness or accidentally falling into the water.
"There is not the slightest memory clue about the secret treasure house of the Northern Qin royal family... This is normal."
"I did not inherit the throne through normal inheritance. It is reasonable for me to cut off the secret treasure house clues about the Northern Qin royal family."
"However, there are still some old clan members of the Li royal family in Northern Qin. They may know the whereabouts of the treasure house and how to open it."
"What I have to do is to temporarily secure the throne, and then in the name of the emperor, let them reveal the location of the treasure house, and then... The mountains are high and the rivers are long, who cares about the Northern Qin Congress? I only have six years, and I don't have the energy to do it.
We are playing dynastic hegemony here." Ye Chuxiao's thinking was very clear. He came here just for the Northern Qin treasure house, or to be more precise, for the important treasure in the Northern Qin treasure house.
Turn the tide for Northern Qin?
This really can’t be done!
There was no one available inside or outside the court, and the Emperor of Northern Qin had no real power in the court or in the public.
No matter how you look at it, this is a dead end.
Looking at the arrogant Qiang Chu messenger at the foot of the steps, Ye Chuxiao felt that this was a good medicine for 'drinking poison to quench thirst'.
Therefore, in the middle of the envoy reading out the 'tributes' for the coming year, Ye Chuxiao violated the 'rules' set by the Minister of General Affairs and said: "Envoy! Xiao Wang has long been yearning for the customs and culture of Qiang Chu.
It is helpless to be located in a remote and bitter cold place. No matter how hard you imagine, it is difficult to imagine the style of the prosperous capital of Chu State. If the emperor is willing to give up, why not go to the palace and have a detailed talk with the little king, which will also relieve the little king's lovesickness.
The suffering.”
Before the envoy from Chu could speak after hearing this, Mingda, the Minister of General Affairs, had already sternly scolded him: "Your Majesty! When the envoy is reading out the emperor's decree, please do not interrupt. Otherwise, you will be blamed by your Majesty. Can your Majesty bear this?"
"
The tone of these words was not like speaking to the emperor, but rather like reprimanding a servant.
The Ming family of Nanshan and the Qu family of Jiangyang have grown stronger for many years, and have long eclipsed the Li family, the real masters of the Northern Qin Dynasty.
In their eyes, although the Li royal family is not really like slaves, they are just tools for them to rule and hollow out the country.
Few people will deliberately retain respect for tools.
Even in Ye Chuqi's description of part of the future of the Huangdou Realm, the early battles surrounding the treasures of the Li family were not the descendants of the Li family, but the remnants of the Ming and Qu families.
One of them established a killer organization, and the other pretended to be a descendant of the Li family, weaving lies to fight for the whereabouts of the treasure.
In the end, due to mutual quarrels, the matter was exposed and expanded, attracting many sects in the world, and experts became involved, and it became a hot topic for a while, and was remembered by Ye Chuqi.
"Mr. Ming, you don't have to be like this. The emperor of your country yearns for the Shengjing of our great state of Chu. It's normal. I have a few days to linger during this trip, so I took the time to go to the palace and explain it to the emperor of your country. It's all right." Chu.
The envoy said reservedly and arrogantly.
He would not have agreed to Ye Chuxiao's 'request', but it was Mingda's reprimand and rebuttal to Ye Chuxiao that had the opposite effect.
Mingda, who held a high position in Northern Qin, obviously did not notice the pride and arrogance of this envoy from Chu State. His generous offer, but he pushed him and helped Ye Chuxiao achieve his goal.
"The envoy does not need to be so accommodating. He...if the king wants to know about Shengjing of Great Chu, there will be businessmen who have been to Shengjing to explain to the king the prosperity of Shengjing." Mingda still wanted to stop him.
Although he has not yet realized why this Chu State envoy agreed to Ye Chuxiao's request, he knew that he could not let Ye Chuxiao get close to this Chu State envoy, otherwise he would inevitably control the king, control the court, and attack the Qu family.
The plan creates variables.
Of course, if the envoy from Chu made a strong request, he would not resist too much.
Compared with offending the Chu State envoy, he was not taken seriously by a mere 'emperor'.
If you don't listen, just change it to another one.
Seeing Mingda's tough attitude, the Chu envoy also hesitated a little.
After all, he is just an envoy. Even if he carries the pride of an envoy from a powerful country, he should still be cautious when he is in another country.
"Your Majesty, Brother Wang left in a hurry, but he left some antiques from the Kingdom behind. Little Wang can't understand them, and he would like to ask your Majesty to help distinguish and identify them," Ye Chuxiao added.
The only things he might take out now are some of the belongings left behind by the previous emperor.
He couldn't take these things out, let alone sell them in the market, so they might as well use them to lure the Chu State envoy.
As for using force to force him to masturbate, let’s not say that Ye Chuxiao didn’t have the force value. Even if he did... it would be contrary to his original plan.
Although Northern Qin is only a small country in the Huangdou Realm, the special characteristics of the Huangdou Realm mean that the people of Northern Qin do not lack strong people.
The heads of the Ming and Qu families are both artistic conception monks on the Ming side.
The artistic conception monks of the Northern Qin royal family had died a long time ago. They had not had the support of top-level monks for many years, which was also one of the reasons for the decline of the Li family.
"In this case, it would be disrespectful for me to do so!" said the Chu State envoy.
He did not resist the temptation.
In the Chu State, he was only a fifth-grade official of the Ministry of Rites. If he could make a fortune in Northern Qin, it would be very useful for him to smoothen his relationships after returning to the Chu State.
Staring at Ye Chuxiao fiercely, Mingda wanted to come forward immediately and break Ye Chuxiao's neck.
However, after looking at the envoy from Chu, Mingda finally temporarily restrained his ill will.
But when he looked at Ye Chuxiao again, it was clear that he was looking at a dead person.
Once you start killing your master and emperor, you will break the psychological barrier and you will feel no pressure if you do it again.
When the Chu envoy finished reading out the list of tributes, Ye Chuxiao led him back to the Northern Qin Palace.
The Northern Qin Imperial Palace is not considered luxurious. In Ye Chuxiao's opinion, it is several notches lower than the Royal Manor in Daheng.
The maids in the palace are all ordinary-looking women over thirty years old. As for eunuchs, there are none!
Having learned from the "experience and lessons" of neighboring countries, the noble clans of Northern Qin did not allow eunuchs, a special group that was naturally more protective of imperial power, to continue to appear in the palace to help the Northern Qin royal family get out of its predicament.
Therefore, many years ago, all the eunuchs in the palace were released, and no more eunuchs were added after that.
As for some of the heavy work in the palace, it is left to strong women to handle.
Instead of riding in a soft sedan, Ye Chuxiao led the Chu State envoy and trotted all the way into the harem dormitory.
In the dormitory, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and civil and military equipment from all over the world were brought out by Ye Chuxiao without hesitation and piled up in front of the Chu State envoy.
Seeing Ye Chuxiao's "generous" behavior, the Chu State envoy was also surprised.
As soon as his mind turned around, he knew that Ye Chuxiao was probably plotting against him.
Therefore, the envoy from Chu State unceremoniously stuffed these antique calligraphy and paintings into the storage bag and said: "The national law of Chu State stipulates that without the order of the emperor, envoys sent to other countries are not allowed to interfere in other countries' internal affairs at will. The King of Qin...
I understand your current situation, but I’m sorry that I can’t do anything about it.”
Ye Chuxiao asked calmly: "I dare to ask the envoy, what is your achievement in terms of opening up the territory and expanding the territory?"
The envoy from Chu State said: "If you expand the territory for five thousand miles, you can be granted the title of Duke of the country, for three thousand miles, you can be granted the title of marquis, and for one thousand miles, you can be granted the title of general."
Ye Chuxiao said: "I don't know, can I, the land of Qin, help the envoy to win the title of Duke of the country?"
The Chu envoy was shocked. What did the young King of Qin in front of him want to do?
"If the envoy is willing to help me control the real power of Qin, I am willing to draw a map of the country by hand and present it to the emperor. I will no longer call myself emperor in the future, but invite myself to be a minister, and guard Beihai for Chu for generations." Ye Chuxiao said.
In fact, Ye Chuxiao didn't even want the Qin Kingdom, he just wanted to get the location of the treasure house and how to open it.
However, when negotiating terms, of course, you need to negotiate from a high place first, and then slowly push the envelope.
If the conditions are set too low at the beginning, the other party may not even pay any price and just want the female vote.
The Chu State envoy showed an extremely surprised look on his face, looked at Ye Chuxiao seriously and said: "Does the King of Qin know what you are talking about at this moment?"
"Of course it is clear that the Li family has lost to the Qin Dynasty, and it is not my fault. It is clear that the Qu Er family has betrayed its master for many years, and its wolfish ambitions have long been obvious."
"Seventeen kings of Qin were replaced in one year. How can there be such a ridiculous thing in this world? If I don't sink the boat, maybe tomorrow, maybe today... will be the day of my death." Ye Chuxiao said solemnly.
The envoy from Chu State heard this and began to consider it carefully.
The more I think about it, the more excited I become.
Although it was not effortless for Chu to destroy Northern Qin, it was not difficult either.
What held Chu back was not just Northern Qin, but the many small border countries that were dependent on Chu.
If the State of Chu could obtain the formal letter of return from the Emperor of Qin, it would be a great success.
If he operates well in it, the position of Duke is of course a luxury, but it may not be difficult to win over a prince...
