After Yao Yun returned to Xi Kingdom, he immediately summoned all the ministers of Xi Kingdom, including the Second Elder Wu Tong, Bald Long, Second Master Long, Black Water Black Snake, Wushan Yellow Bird, Liusu, Sun Muyue, Yanzhe Aqi, Cangman,
Hundreds of miles of wilderness, green bamboos, and cows are all listed one by one.
After hearing about Yao Yun's experience of meeting the Holy Spirit, everyone in the Xi Kingdom was extremely angry, especially the bald dragon, who even turned on the scolding mode and snarled at Zhu Xiazi.
"That's unreasonable! Di Mu, that shameless person with a wolfish heart and a dog's heart, was chased by Lord Bingyi that day. He was as embarrassed as a dog. We abandoned our past grudges and rushed thousands of miles to help him. If the prince hadn't invited the female emperor, he, the emperor, would have been killed.
There will be no recovery!
You ungrateful bitch, if he didn't repay his kindness, he would bite us hard with his backhand, which made me angry!
Returning to the common master of the world, the pattern and magnanimity are not as good as mine, Long Aotian!
Externally, he is obedient and willing to compromise, and internally, he strikes hard. He is a good player when fighting in the inner circle, and he is such a great emperor..."
...
If it were in the past, the second elder Wu Tong would definitely have spoken to stop the bald dragon and said "be careful", but this time, the second elder remained silent and his chest was rising and falling.
"This time the Heavenly Dynasty really went too far. The Emperor said it nicely and gave us the most generous reward. But who knows where the land he rewarded is. From the intentions of the Emperor and the princes in the DPRK, it is obvious that they want to curb the strength of our Xi Kingdom.
, will not give fertile land and ritual vessels at all!"
The face of the second elder was full of pain, and the anger in his heart was uncontrollable.
What is most important to a vassal state?
Population, land and army.
Of course, population and land need not be mentioned much. The army, as the backbone of a country, is also a top priority. If you want to create an elite army to control the country, the ritual weapon that suppresses luck becomes the key.
Ritual vessels restricted the development of elite divisions. With the national strength of Xi State, the number of elite divisions of the fifth rank under his command could already exceed two.
With Xi Kingdom's current luck, it can barely cultivate another fifth-grade elite teacher.
The [Sheng Si Tianbing] commanded by Niu Dali and the [Ten Thousand Demons Palace] commanded by Qingzhu are expected to be promoted to the fifth-level elite division of the country. Originally, the Xi Kingdom planned to seize the ritual weapons in the crusade against the southern barbarian countries.
It doesn’t take much, just loot one or two ancient ancient kingdoms and seize their ritual vessels. With the strong national power of Xi Kingdom now, as long as there are enough ritual vessels, Xi Kingdom’s fortune will immediately rise, skyrocketing like crazy, Niu Dali,
The elite troops under Qingzhu's command were also able to advance through the ranks.
By then, the Xi Kingdom will have four elite troops to control the country. Looking at the world, no vassal state can compete with it, second only to the twelve divisions of the Emperor Yunshi.
This is the benefit of a strong country. Other vassal states do not have the strong national power of Xi State. Even if they have sufficient ritual vessels, they cannot cultivate the third and fourth elite divisions.
Just like when Lord Tiger swallowed the ritual vessels of Yao Yun's lineage, the country had enough ritual vessels to suppress luck, but it was unable to cultivate the third and fourth elite troops of the fifth grade to control the country.
Xi Guo has the ability, but it is a pity that Xi Guo's plan failed.
"Your Majesty, how could you so simply agree to the Emperor's command of the rear? There can be no changes in the Ghost Realm of Kongming and the Wilderness of the Southwest. Now our development has reached a bottleneck."
The bald dragon sighed and complained.
Before Yao Yun could speak, Sun Muyue smiled and said: "Uncle Long, the emperor and the princes will not allow such a powerful vassal state to be born. No matter whether we agree or not, the result will not change much, unless our Xi country rebels.
Out of Zhu Xia, otherwise, no matter how much trouble you make, it will be unreasonable and unreasonable, and you will be looked down upon by all the princes in the world."
The second elder Wu Tong also nodded and said: "There is no need to accuse anyone. If we continue to grow stronger, we will touch the foundation of the Xia Dynasty. We resisted fiercely on the spot, but fell into their trap. There is no problem with the king's handling this time."
.”
"This dragon is not complaining about the prince, I just..." The bald dragon looked embarrassed and looked at Yao Yun angrily.
Yao Yun waved his hand and didn't care. He knew the bald dragon's temperament all too well. It was just that Long was stupid and had no objection to him. On the contrary, if he caused a big disaster, the bald dragon would not hesitate to follow him and fight his way out.
"Okay, it's useless to talk about what has happened. Let's think about how to deal with it in the future. Our country of Xi has reached this point. There is no way back. Right now, there are only two roads in front of us."
When everyone in Xi Kingdom heard that there were two ways, their curiosity was aroused in their hearts, and they all looked at Yao Yun.
"Your Majesty, which two roads are there?"
Yao Yun drank a glass of wine, looked at his subordinates, and said in an intriguing tone:
"The first way is to stand and be beaten. The emperor and the princes are afraid of rising at an alarming rate. Then we will keep a low profile and dormant, no longer expand the power of the Xi Kingdom, endure what ordinary people cannot bear, shrink into a corner, and slowly figure it out, etc.
It will take another ten or twenty years before I can strive for the throne of emperor."
After saying this, the Fenghuang Palace suddenly exploded.
Bald Dragon: "How can this be done? Our country, Xi, has tolerated development for so many years. How can we allow outsiders to bully us? They want to suppress us, but we want to develop and grow."
Bailihuang: "Uncle Long's words are reasonable. No one can say what will happen in ten or twenty years. Even if you are in a tight spot, you must seek opportunities for development. You must not let the heaven dictate you!"
Sun Muyue: "Your Majesty, I am passive and unable to do anything. We will never let the emperor and the princes from all sides get their wish. Now the power of the Xia is unstoppable. After the destruction of the Southern Barbarians, Beidi, Dongyi, and Xirong will probably not escape the disaster. In the future, the world will be unified.
The choice of emperor may be tricky..."
...
In the main hall, voices opposing the first path arose one after another. Whether they were civil servants, military generals, or Yanzhe Ah Qi, they all expressed their attitude and did not want to stand and be beaten.
Yao Yun was quite satisfied with this. The reason why he proposed the first way was to test the minds of the ministers. What surprised Yao Yun most was that Sun Muyue saw the situation so thoroughly and hit the nail on the head.
"Your Majesty, what is the second way?"
When Sun Muyue saw Yao Yun nodding to her, she immediately understood that the king's first path was just a pretense. She immediately felt happy and asked quickly.
Yao Yun smiled slightly. At first, his idea of breaking the situation fell on the underworld. Di Mu and the princes from all sides joined forces to suppress and suppress his development. He could completely turn from light to darkness, from the earth to the underworld.
But thinking about it carefully, Yao Yun soon encountered a problem. The pool in the Yinming Ghost Domain of the Southern Wilderness was too small, and it was impossible to train the elite divisions of the Nine Nether Tribes and the Nine Great Suppressing Countries. In the early years, Yao Yun's Jiuyou Nine
The department was formed, but there were only three elite fifth-level national-level divisions that were truly promoted, and their development was also limited.
If he wants to truly develop without any hindrance, Yao Yun must refine the gate of ghosts, open up the two realms of yin and yang, and let the underworld go to the underworld.
It's a pity that Yao Yun won't be able to conquer the Yinming Dragon Vein for a while.
In the past few years when Yao Yun was practicing hard, Xi Guo could not sit still and wait for death, but had to seek a breakthrough.
"The second way is very simple. I heard that there is a vast plain in the Ba people basin in the southwest. The land is vast and the ancient kingdom of Manghuang has lived in it for generations. The emperor asked our Xi country to guard the southwest and strictly guard against barbarian invasion. Then we will obey the order and stand firm.
Pass through the Ghost Realm and take the initiative to attack the barbaric ancient country in the Ba people's plain!"
