Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth Chapter Western Frontiers
Although Li Xiaowu believed that he was the True Dragon Emperor and deserved the throne, he was not stupid enough to wipe out all the power of the Heaven Confrontation Alliance.
Li Yuance brought these people from the Fighting Alliance from all over the world. The high-end combat power gathered by the entire Fighting Alliance was extremely astonishing.
Although this fighting power cannot overthrow the entire Daqian, it is definitely the best among the best in the world.
So Li Xiaowu said directly: "Alliance leader... In fact, I should call you the emperor's uncle. Has the emperor's uncle considered returning to my job? I will definitely not be stingy with a throne."
Li Yuance said calmly: "Since decades ago, the relationship between me and the Daqian royal family has been completely severed.
I have said before that I have no interest in the throne, and I am not an uncle standing here today, but the leader of the Heaven Contest Alliance."
Hearing Li Yuance say this, Li Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, this is good for everyone. If Li Yuance really becomes the prince of Daqian, it will be really awkward.
So Li Xiaowu said directly: "If this is the case, then what I promised to you, the alliance leader, will be fulfilled today.
Alliance Leader, your mother has been included in the Daqian Ancestral Temple, and I have directly awarded her several titles.
The area within 300 miles of Wucang Mountain in Haitian County has been allocated to the Zhengtian Alliance as a dojo. No one from the Daqian military, Jingyesi or other Jianghu sects can enter without permission.
I also have all the things that the gentlemen of the Heaven Confrontation Alliance want, including Qi refining materials, divine weapons, swords, ancient techniques, etc. The leader of the Alliance can just take them."
The price Li Xiaowu paid to invite the Zhengtian Alliance to take action was not low, and of course it was nothing compared to the throne.
Then Wucang Mountain in Haitian County should be the headquarters of the Zhengtian Alliance, which is where the crack is located as Li Yuance said.
Haitian County is a large county in the Central Plains. Three hundred miles is almost as big as half a small county, but it was directly assigned to the Zhengtian Alliance. Even the imperial court was not so generous to the Taixuan Dao Sect.
Of course, Li Yuance himself is also very generous. Except for his mother's birthright, which he has always been obsessed with, and Wu Cang Mountain, which he begs for for the entire Zhengtian Alliance, other things are asked for for other people.
For example, the weapon-refining materials and swords that Xie Xuanan asked for should be given to Liu Qi, and the ancient skills should be given to Zi Cheyou. Anyway, no one in the Tiantian Alliance was left behind.
"Then thank you Your Majesty." Li Yuance nodded.
At this time, Li Xiaowu turned his attention to Gu Cheng again, with a little embarrassment: "Master Gu, I promised you to be the commander before, but you also know about Jingyesi, your strength is enough, and your qualifications are still There are some shortcomings.”
Li Yuance said calmly from the side: "The qualifications are not enough, but the achievements are enough."
Everyone else in the Zhengtian Alliance has benefits. Gu Cheng has contributed a lot. It should be said that he is second only to Li Yuance himself. However, he did not get what he deserved. As the leader of the alliance, Li Yuance would not agree.
Li Xiaowu smiled bitterly and said: "Leader, don't worry, Mr. Gu has known me for a long time, and I naturally want to promote him to the position of commander.
But you also know the rules of Daqian. There are currently three vacancies for commanders. As soon as the news came out, half of the governors of the forty-nine counties of Daqian were interested in this position, and the remaining ones who were not interested were also opposed to it. Sir Gu, come and sit in this seat. They think this is breaking the rules.
Some of the governors in the forty-nine counties of Daqian are very old, and some of them have reached the fourth level.
These people are in charge of one side, and their strength and qualifications are extraordinary. It is not easy for me to reject all their requests.
The most important thing is that Commander-in-Chief Ye Wuzhao is not here at the moment. Without his appointment at the level of commander, my words will not count.
So I have a compromise here."
"Oh? What can I do?" Gu Cheng asked.
In fact, Gu Cheng was not in a hurry. No one else could take what was his, and he couldn't get what was not his by force.
Li Xiaowu said: "The Commander-in-Chief Ye Wuzhao has been in Western Xinjiang for more than a year. He has suppressed the rebellions in Western Xinjiang before. However, there were some accidents, which led to Commander-in-Chief Ye Wuzhao going to Western Xinjiang. It has been three months since we lost contact with Jingyesi's people over there.
The governor of Xijiang felt that something was wrong, so he immediately reported the news and asked the capital to send someone to investigate, at least to confirm whether something had happened to Governor Ye Wuzhao.
Moreover, there seems to be another cult causing trouble in Western Xinjiang during this time. I am going to send you, Mr. Gu, to suppress the local cult and at the same time go find Governor Ye Wuzhao.
Mr. Gu, you are eloquent. If you take the initiative to find Governor Ye Wuzhao this time, you will definitely be able to build a good relationship with Governor Ye Wuzhao.
When the time comes, Commander-in-Chief Ye Wuzhao will nod his head and agree, and I will also step up my efforts. Who else would you choose to take the position of commander?"
Gu Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "Then we will do as your Majesty said, but I don't know what the situation is in Western Xinjiang, and I can't guarantee whether I can find Governor Ye Wuzhao.
Your Majesty, you know the strength of Governor Ye Wuzhao. If you encounter a problem that he cannot solve, I will not be able to solve it either."
Li Xiaowu said quickly: "If nothing happens, if we can't solve it, Mr. Gu, please immediately send a message to the capital headquarters, and I will immediately ask Eunuch Chen or other powerful people from the imperial court to go and provide support."
Seeing Gu Cheng agree to Li Xiaowu, he was relieved.
After all, the Zhengtian Alliance had just helped him ascend the throne. It would be okay if he failed to fulfill his promise to Gu Cheng. It would be bad if there was a stalemate at this time.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether Gu Cheng goes or not, but he definitely won't be able to become the commander if he doesn't go.
In the absence of Ye Wuzhao, even the emperor Li Xiaowu was not qualified to appoint a commander at will.
To a certain extent, Jingyesi was not only independent of the military and civil servants of Daqian, but also independent of the imperial power. Even the emperor could not ask too much from Jingyesi.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I cannot go to Western Xinjiang alone this time. If I need to suppress rebellion, I will need an army at hand."
Li Xiaowu frowned and said, "Mr. Gu, you are now the Inspector-General. If you go with my imperial edict, you are qualified to command the original army in Western Xinjiang and the people of Jingyesi.
But the capital has just experienced a turmoil, so I’m afraid I don’t have much power for you.”
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I don't want much. All I want is General Hong Dingshan of the Imperial Guard and some of his elite soldiers."
Li Xiaowu didn't remember who Hong Dingshan was for a while. When he thought of Hong Dingshan's identity, Li Xiaowu immediately said: "No problem, I will issue an imperial edict to let Hong Dingshan set off with you."
Although Hong Dingshan was not the second prince's confidant, he was still someone who relied on the second prince's side.
During the battle for the throne, Hong Dingshan was stationed outside the city because he was in charge of the Imperial Guards and did not take direct action.
But even if Hong Dingshan didn't take action, as the second prince, he would still be implicated to some extent, and at least he couldn't stay in a central position like the Imperial Guard.
So at this time, Gu Cheng wanted Hong Dingshan to leave, which Li Xiaowu really wanted.
Li Yuance also said to Li Xiaowu at this time: "Your Majesty, I still have things to do with the Heavenly Alliance, so I won't stay any longer."
Li Xiaowu shook his head and said: "Actually, I want you to stay a little longer, leader. After all, I have just ascended the throne and my position is still a bit unstable.
But since it is a matter of the Fighting Heaven Alliance, I will not delay you, Alliance Leader."
Li Xiaowu didn't mean what he said.
In fact, he wished Li Yuance could leave quickly.
For Li Xiaowu, he would only feel uncomfortable if Li Yuance stayed here, especially with his status.
As for the instability of the throne, it is pure nonsense. They just seized the throne but did not rebel. The people who died the most were the Xianqin Daomen group. Daqian's core combat power was not lost. The new emperor could inherit everything as soon as he ascended the throne.
The core strength of Daqian is very realistic. They are only loyal to the emperor of Daqian. As long as the person sitting there is named Li and is a direct descendant of the Li family, it is enough. As for whether it is Li Yuangong or Li Xiaowu, it doesn't really matter. important.
And being able to successfully ascend to the throne also proves that the emperor still has some strength and means, at least he is not too stupid to bring Daqian into decline.
After leaving the palace, Gu Cheng asked a little strangely: "Leader, is there really something going on with the Tianzheng Alliance?"
Li Yuance nodded, then shook his head and said: "Li Xiaowu would not feel comfortable here, and I, the Heavenly Alliance, don't have to compete for this area of the capital, so why bother being an eyesore here?
And the Tiantian Alliance does have some things going on.
I told you before that Wucang Mountain, where our Zhengtian Alliance is located, also has a crack that connects to the outside world.
We don't know what the outside world is like, but once other cracks appear or fluctuations occur, the ban on Wucang Mountain will also be loosened.
But it shouldn't matter. The person who imposed the ban in the past should be a strong man in the Holy Realm. Even if it is loose, it is generally very solid.
Just in case, I will take Xie Xuanan and the others back to re-impose the ban, and others can also take the opportunity to practice.
If the ban is not a big problem, I will take others to Xijiang to support you.
The evil cult in Western Xinjiang has gone too far, and even if we, the Zhengtian Alliance, do not contribute to the imperial court, we cannot just sit back and watch the collapse of the Great Qian."
Gu Cheng nodded, he knew what Li Yuance was thinking.
Even though Dagan had many shortcomings, and even some areas at the grassroots level, such as Jingyesi and the military, were completely bad, at least Dagan was a unified dynasty on the surface.
Even if such a dynasty is internally corrupt, it can at least maintain peace on the surface. Just like the ten countries competing for hegemony and attacking each other five hundred years ago, that is when the people are truly in dire straits.
Therefore, no matter it is Da Gan or some Jianghu sects, as long as they are not those cult lunatics, no one wants Da Gan to collapse.
Although dogs in prosperous times are humble, people in troubled times don't know whether they will survive tomorrow.
