Cao Cao, Jiang Dong, Liu Biao, Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan were all afraid of when Jiang Siming would deal with them in the future.
Although Gongsun Zan formed an alliance with Jiang Siming, he also understood that an alliance that was too powerful was a potential time bomb.
The five major princes secretly began to form an alliance, trying to find a suitable opportunity to deal the heaviest blow to Jiang Siming.
It's a pity that two years have passed and Jiang Siming has not taken any action, focusing on his development.
And because Cao Cao and his alliance lacked the most critical intelligence, the alliance lacked confidence.
Zhicai is a counselor. Cao Cao had an excellent counselor, Xi Zhicai. Unfortunately, Xi Zhicai passed away due to illness last year.
As a result, he doesn't have a single top strategist around him.
His Xun Yu, Xun You and Guo Jia had already taken refuge with Jiang Siming, and now they only had advisers like Cheng Yu.
Although Cheng Yu can be considered a first-class counselor, compared with Guo Jiaxunyu, he is still a level below.
Cao Cao recently heard that the poisonous scholar Jia Xu was near his territory, and he was sending people to look for him.
Among the others, Jiangdong Zhou Yu was ranked first, but Cao Cao and the others thought that Zhou Yu was a handsome man and could not compete with Guo Jia in terms of intelligence, so they did not adopt him.
In addition, the counselors under Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Gongsun Zan are not even first-class.
Liu Bei has been looking for Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chu, but unfortunately Crouching Dragon Zhuge Liang is staying in Jiang Siming's territory.
Moreover, almost all the Zhuge family joined Jiang Siming. Zhuge Liang, an elder brother and a younger brother, Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Dan, all served as officials under Jiang Siming.
Zhuge Liang hasn't left the mountain yet because he feels he wants to learn something more.
But everyone knows that Zhuge Liang will definitely follow Jiang Siming in the future.
Then only Feng Chu was left. Unfortunately, Pang Shiyuan loved to travel and his whereabouts were erratic. No one knew where he was.
Uncle Liu Huang could only worry.
Two years later, Chang'an City is already blooming with flowers. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most prosperous city in the world.
Even in the contemporary Rome, Kushan and Parthian empires, no city could compare with Chang'an.
Chang'an, Ming Palace.
The former Prime Minister's Palace no longer exists and has become the Ming Palace, a palace belonging to the king!
The grandeur of the Ming Palace is no worse than that of the Imperial Palace. This palace was designed by Jiang Siming.
In this era, the limit of what craftsmen can build is no better than the palace.
This was two years ago. Xun Yu personally took care of it and spent the efforts of thousands of people to build a splendid palace in just one year.
When Jiang Siming became queen, he was directly separated from Liu Xie's control. Although the prime minister was a senior official, he was still a Han official and Liu Xie's official.
But being a queen is different. Although her status is not as good as that of an emperor, she can issue her own laws in her own territory.
The king's subjects, soldiers, generals, and officials all submit to the king, not the emperor.
The status of the king is only slightly inferior to that of the emperor, not to mention that the king Jiang Siming is in charge of the six states!
In this way, Liu Xie was completely single, but in name, except for these six states, the other territories were still his.
But Liu Xie is not stupid. How could the princes in other territories obey his orders? He was completely ignored.
Now you don't even have to go to court. You just need to stay in the palace every day. All the officials are going to the Ming Palace to pay homage.
This made Liu Xie very happy and even dreamed of leaving Chang'an, because he knew that now Jiang Siming could become king.
Then in the future, after he unifies the world, he can also become emperor...
When the time comes, he will definitely be forced to give up his position as emperor.
The desire to escape has never been stronger.
The front hall of the Ming Palace was where Jiang Siming went to court and worked, and the back hall was where he and his concubines lived.
In the front hall, Jiang Siming sat on the highest throne, listening to the dozen or so counselors below arguing over an issue with red faces.
"I believe that disarmament of troops now is an act of self-inflicted harm. Our Lord still has many enemies that have not been eliminated. How can we disarm?" Hua Xin said with widened eyes.
Xun You on the other side said: "Disarmament does not mean weakening our army's combat effectiveness. On the contrary, we turn complexity into excellence and use these laid-off soldiers for urban construction management and farming, which will bring our strength to a higher level."
.”
"Nonsense, if it were a time of peace, we would naturally agree, but now the great cause is not over yet. Cao Cao, Jiangdong and other five princes have formed an alliance and will be watching us at any time. If we cut off some of our soldiers at this time, our army will definitely become weaker, and the enemy will
There is an opportunity to take advantage of." Jiang Ji said.
Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xu Shu and others all participated in this debate competition.
A group of scholars were quarreling fiercely. Finally, Jiang Siming coughed and they stopped.
"What you all said is reasonable. There are advantages and disadvantages to disarmament, but we must act within our capabilities. If we think so, we might as well try it out first," Jiang Siming said.
In the past, he claimed to be his true self, but now that he has become a king, he naturally claims to be an "orphan".
Moreover, Jiang Siming thinks the word "lone" is very domineering and likes it very much.
Of course, no matter how domineering you are, the word ‘I’ is not as domineering as the word ‘I’.
"Pilot? Lord, what does pilot mean?" Everyone was confused.
Jiang Siming said with a smile: "The pilot is to try it on a state and county first, lay off some of the soldiers in the state and county, and use it for the construction of the state and county. If it really makes a huge improvement to the state and county, then implement it in full. If the progress is very small,
, then we can discuss it later after the world is unified."
When everyone heard this, they all thought this method was good, very good, so they all agreed.
"Okay, is everything okay? It's okay. I'm going out of the palace to hunt. Is there anyone willing to follow me?" Jiang Siming stood up and stretched.
Being a king or an emperor is all good, but one thing is that you have a lot to do, you have to go to court every day, and there are a lot of memorials.
Jiang Siming is doing much better. He is a cultivator and will not feel tired except for being bored.
But boredom is also terrible for him.
In ancient times, the only fun was probably going out hunting.
"I'm willing to follow!" All the counselors agreed in unison.
"Okay, let's set off!" Jiang Siming waved his hand and left the palace.
Shortly after he left the Ming Palace, a tall, thin young man came outside the Ming Palace.
The guard stopped him. The man looked at the magnificent palace and the powerful soldiers and nodded in approval.
Subconsciously shaking the fan in his hand, he chuckled and said: "King Ming is worthy of being a figure who unifies the world. If this continues, within three years, the world will be unified. I hope that my arrival can contribute to King Ming's efforts and establish a little
achievement."
After saying that, the man took out a token: "This is the pass given to me by King Ming. Can I go in now?"
"Of course, let's go!"
When the soldier saw that the token was genuine, he immediately let it go.
The man looked inside the palace and stepped in. At the same time, a beautiful figure appeared in his mind.
"Xiaoying, I haven't seen you for three years. You're okay. Liang is here this time, firstly to make contributions to the king, and secondly to marry you."
After the man finished speaking, he strode towards the palace.
