Chapter 360(1/2)
"[Zhen Guo Gong] led an army of 100,000 to attack [Xianluo North Road], captured seven counties, and beheaded 80,000 people. He also captured [Maoshi City], killed Fusang God General Haraguchi Hayabusa, and beheaded more than 60,000 people..."
"Then he made a sharp turn like the wind and took the south of [Xianluo North Road] to [Guochang City]. He ambushed the enemy and reinforced his troops. He killed the god-killing general Hasegawa Beidou and beheaded 80,000 people..."
"Crossing the mountains into [Xianluonan Road], attacking cities and villages all the way, sweeping across thousands of miles, taking 79 large and small cities, invincible, and beheading more than 40,000 people in total. Now the army is approaching Kangxing City..."
………………
The low and solemn words echoed in the Jinluan Palace. Listening to the information coming from thousands of miles away, all the ministers looked at each other with inexplicable brilliance in their eyes.
Some are in disbelief, some are confused, some are surprised, but most of them are deeply fearful and gloomy.
The previous [Zhenguo Gong] was just a joke in the eyes of many people.
At the age of seventeen, he had no strength and was unable to convince the crowd. It was all up to the [Emperor] to forcibly lift him up.
Once [Emperor] Bintian comes, they have plenty of ways to deal with that yellow-haired boy.
But now, this seventeen-year-old yellow-haired boy is accumulating prestige little by little, turning the title of "Zhenguo Gong" from imaginary to real!
What's even more frightening is that this will change the situation in the court where the civil servants are strong and the military is weak!
From Wu Anjun to Champion Lord... to the current [Zhen Guo Gong], these titles represent the most glorious pinnacle of military commanders. If the successor is too weak, those vulgar Qiu Ba will only be dissatisfied and even hateful, but if the successor can prove that he is enough
powerful……
At the thought of the military generals group headed by the Four Pillar Countries uniting under the banner of [Zhen Guo Gong] and forming a whole, many people in the court broke out in cold sweat.
Civil servants check and balance military generals relying on the will of the [Emperor]. In order to suppress these arrogant and powerful generals, they did everything they could, and by the way, they even made a lot of money...
What if these Qiu Ba start to liquidate after gaining power...
Looking up at the tall figure as cold as ice, many ministers saw a strange and twisted black light flashing in their eyes.
If she succeeds to the throne, then [Zhenguo Gong] may really become a big mountain that suppresses everyone!
……………………
"The emperor should rule with dignity and conquer the world with benevolence. Now the whole court is praising the bloody atrocities of the butcher. The Jinluan Palace is full of fishy smell. Mr. Fan, you must clean up the turmoil and bring order to the chaos!"
After the court, a group of people gathered quietly at Fan Zhengyuan's residence and complained in the name of appreciating poems and songs.
"Haha, my Damin has been away from the battlefield for a long time. It is rare for me to have some inspiring external achievements, which can be considered a good thing... Even His Majesty was very excited when he heard the news..."
Fan Zhengyuan took a sip of the wine and smiled noncommittally.
I glanced around and saw that there was no one around. The person who spoke spoke in a dark voice.
"It would be fine if there were other generals who didn't follow suit, but that is [Zhen Guo Gong]. Every achievement he has now will be the foundation for suppressing us in the future!"
Fan Zhengyuan paused slightly while drinking, then pursed his lips meaningfully and chuckled.
"I am too drunk and want to go to the backyard to drink tea. I wonder if Mr. Lu would like to drink tea with me?"
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears."
The two of them quietly left the banquet and went to the hidden secret room in the backyard.
"Master Fan, there are no outsiders here, so I will open the skylight and speak frankly. The battle between Damin and Fusang is an unjust war. It will waste people and money. We must find a way to end it as soon as possible!"
Lu Zhe held a steaming tea cup in his hand, his eyes as cold as a hungry wolf.
Taking a sip of fragrant tea, Fan Zhengyuan pursed his lips with a smile.
"Master Lu, you also said that there are no outsiders here, you might as well be more straightforward."
"Well, Damin must lose this battle, and we must not let those Qiu Ba gain the upper hand!"
"Well...it seems that Mr. Lu bought a lot of Fuso's [War Bonds] through Shengjinlian. Once they are defeated, many people will lose all their life's accumulation..."
"…………"
After a moment of silence, Lu Zhe's face was as cold as snow meeting the scorching sun, and he suddenly smiled brightly.
"Isn't it the same, Mr. Fan? I heard that many people used their lost military funds to buy Fuso bonds. This is depriving their own military funds to subsidize the enemy. If they are discovered, they will probably be charged with treason."
Hearing this, Fan Zhengyuan's face showed no emotion, he just put down his teacup and sighed.
"I didn't want to do it at first, but I couldn't help it. They gave me too much."
"Yes, they gave too much..."
Nodding in agreement, the two people in the secret room looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
"In this case, Master Fan must have already made up his mind. I wonder if you can teach me?"
"Well, let's sort out the main opponents we face..."
"Appreciate further details."
"The first one is the Northern Ming Zhu Kingdom. The powerful families of the Youzhou family have been fighting with it for decades, and they have a lot of grievances. There are also many people in the imperial court who have been suppressing it for a long time and swallowing up its military resources. However, the Manchu ministers tacitly cut off their speech before.
These guarding generals are speechless..."
"But if this battle is won and they return with the power of saving the country, then all the previous grievances will probably be settled!"
"The anger of the eighth-level soldier Dao Yasheng, and even the entire general group, may make the land of China flow like a river of blood..."
With a pitiful sigh, Fan Zhengyuan wiped the moisture from his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
"For the sake of the common people, I can only aggrieve the Beimingzhu Kingdom."
"Master Fan really cares about the common people and the country and the people!"
"Where, where, what a helpless act, nothing worth mentioning."
“Then how exactly does it work?”
"When we choose an opponent, we naturally choose a friend. Many people in the Youzhou family and the court do not want the Beiming Pillar Kingdom to return victorious, and they will become our strongest allies!"
"I'm afraid it's difficult for them to influence the war situation alone, right? If they do it too openly, His Majesty will..."
Seeing Lu Zhe hesitate to speak, Fan Zhengyuan chuckled and nodded.
"Don't forget, we have a more important opponent - [Zhen Guo Gong]!"
With a thought in his mind, Lu Zhe seemed to have caught something and stared deeply into Fan Zhengyuan's eyes.
"This son is full of evil. What he has done in [Liu Yin Kingdom] is simply too numerous to describe. All the sages in the world want to get rid of him quickly. Regardless of the government or the public, there are many people who want to skin him and cramp him. However, [King Liu Yin]
】He is favored and protected in every possible way, and those talents cannot find a chance. As long as we connect a little bit, this will be a force that can overturn the world!"
Listening to Fan Zhengyuan's talk, when he heard the words "overturning the world", Lu Zhe's breath froze and his eyes became extremely solemn.
As if aware of his emotions, Fan Zhengyuan smiled meaningfully.
"Finally, our most important opponent - [King of Liu Yin Li Min]!"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhe's whole body was filled with excitement, and he suddenly realized something in his heart.
Everything above is just foreshadowing. Fan Zhengyuan’s real purpose is to involve himself in the battle for the throne!
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the [Emperor] wants to pass the throne to the eldest princess, otherwise he would not force Zhao Yinshun to take the throne.
The seventeen-year-old [Zhen Guo Gong] is consuming the emperor's prestige behind this!
The situation was so clear that they actually...
The words 'overturning the world' suddenly flashed through his mind. Lu Zhe realized something and took a breath.
This water... is too deep!
"The emperor and his scholars rule the world together, but [King Liuyin] does not listen to advice, appoints evildoers, is headstrong and arrogant, and is definitely not a wise king..."
"What's more, she has ascended to the throne of God and inherited the sainthood. Such a powerful [Emperor] will definitely not be a blessing to the people."
"What? The eldest princess has become a god?"
His pupils shrank, Lu Zhe wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded subconsciously.
"The [Emperor] should rule by doing nothing, and professional matters should naturally be left to us ministers..."
A seventh-level god who inherits the title of [Emperor] is not as easy to fool as this false saint who was promoted as a mortal...
Many dynasties in history were resurrected because of the smoke coming out of the royal ancestral tombs, and a Qilin who became a god with his own power, and then inherited the throne of [Emperor] as a god, and forcibly restored the heavens!
But the price... naturally the government and the public were bleeding like rivers, the original ruling group was completely dismembered and liquidated, and all power was vested in the [Emperor] himself!
The most terrifying thing is that now the eldest princess is not only powerful herself, but also has an assistant with unlimited potential [Zhenguo Gong]!
At only seventeen years old, breaking the army and killing gods is like searching for something. If he grows up for a few years, he may not be unstoppable!
In a daze, the four characters [Qin Huang, Han Wu] flashed rapidly in Lu Zhe's mind.
The Qin Emperor's Wu'an Jun, the Han Wu's champion, and today's Damin [Zhen Guo Gong] are no less powerful than the two previous sages, and even... their potential is even more terrifying!
If he suppressed the unknown situation of being banned and did not die young, then he could have suppressed an entire era by himself!
Is Damin destined to be reborn in this era?
Otherwise, how could a monster like Zhao Yinshun be born that goes beyond common sense?!
Phew~
Slowly exhaling a breath, Lu Zhe's panicked eyes gradually became cold and firm.
To be continued...
