Age of mythical princes

Chapter 428 Qi Gong’s clever plan to calm the world

Baijia Spring 87

The Marquis of Qi's proclaiming ceremony
Since the complete destruction of the Jin Kingdom, the three clans of Han, Zhao and Wei have been eager to proclaim themselves princes, and they have done so in one step and directly declared themselves dukes.

Immediately afterwards, the Marquis of Chu was proclaimed Duke, and the Marquis of Qin was proclaimed Duke.

Today, the Marquis of Qi will also be crowned Duke.

It is said that even the Marquis of Yan, the former Crown Prince Dan, plans to declare himself a duke.

But this time when the Marquis of Qi became Duke, he invited envoys from Yancheng. In recent months, Han Xin has not led his army to compete with Qi. Envoys from various countries, look at me and I look at you. What are the plans of the Marquis of Qi? That’s all I know.

"This war lasted for decades. Although Yancheng said on the surface that it was all for fairness and justice, everyone knows the truth. In essence, it is the rise of Yancheng, so I plan to pick a stepping stone and step on it. Prove yourself to the other party.”

"What does the matter between Tian and Lu have to do with Yancheng?"

"Is it because Yan Gong was born from the Jiang family? But there is no relationship between Yan Gong's Jiang family and Qi's Lu family. Yan Gong's lineage comes from a Jiang family member 800 years ago. This family member, according to Through research, we can’t find any relationship with Tai Gongwang.”

"You can't say that since we are all descendants of Emperor Yan, we become a family?"

"If this can be considered a family, then wouldn't there be families everywhere in the world today?"

"Obviously Yancheng is strong and bullies the weak by relying on its strength, but it is Yancheng who upholds justice. This is confusing right and wrong and calling a deer a horse!"

Amidst the discussion, Zhou Lang and Sun Lang arrived.

As ambassadors on the surface, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are young people, good-looking, and powerful masters.Especially Zhou Yu, who once commanded an army of 20 soldiers several times, is a rare handsome talent.

These experiences made envoys from various countries very curious about Zhou Yu.

While Zhou Yu was chatting and playing the piano with envoys from various countries, Sun Bin, Zou Ji and Zhuge Liang also began in-depth communication.

Neither Jiang Hua nor Tian He appeared here. Only the people below had almost finished talking. Finally, Jiang Hua and Tian He would meet and officially settle the matter.

"Yancheng is too domineering!" Zou Ji started to accuse Yancheng as soon as he came up.

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang raised his head and glanced at Zou Ji.At this moment, Zou Ji suddenly felt the threat of death.

Originally, Zou Ji thought about using more words to take advantage, but after being glanced at by Zhuge Liang, Zou Ji felt that what was the point of using words and calculations in the face of absolute strength?

Simply speechless!
What Zou Ji didn't know was that Zhuge Liang had just been thinking that as long as Zou Ji dared to point his finger directly at him, he would break his finger off and teach him a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Zou Ji raised his hand and then retracted it. This was really disappointing.

"I came here today for peace, so I hope both sides can show each other's sincerity." Sun Bin said.

Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan in his hand and seemed to agree with Sun Bin's opinion.Without the threat of imminent death, Zou Ji immediately regained his composure and became professional.

"Your Majesty is merciful, and all Lu Bo and the Lu family can be put back."

The position of the Marquis of Qi has changed from the Lu family to the Tian family.Therefore, it is impossible to give the title of Uncle Qi to the Lu family.In the end, it was given to Lu Bo.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's expression remained unchanged and he continued to shake the goose feather fan in his hand without moving.Anyway, it’s not Yancheng that’s anxious now, it’s Qi State, it’s the Tian family!
"All the tombs of the Marquis of Qi in past dynasties have been stolen by thieves. The thieves are very rampant. Even if they try hard to recover, they can only recover a few bones, and many of the bones are damaged. Therefore, your Majesty is willing to let Lu move these bones away. grave."

In this regard, Zhuge Liang still acted as if he had not heard anything and had no expression.

Even if these bones were exchanged, the value inside would have been drained out long ago.It's probably the kind that will be destroyed by a single touch.

"Tai Gong Wang's grave..."

……

Some people really want to negotiate.

Some people just want to delay time in the name of negotiation and take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Sun Bin may or may not know this.

Looking outside Taigong's tomb, Tian Dan and Tian Ji each led a group of prefecture-level Taoist soldiers, while Tian He himself was playing with a small Jiuding.

"Your Majesty, now the connection between the tomb and the outside world has been completely cut off. Over millions of years, we have found enough loopholes. As long as we give it a few hundred more years, we can find the loopholes."

The person speaking was the general person in charge of the Tian family’s Taigongwang project.

For Tian, ​​this project is not a day or two days, nor a year or two, but it lasts for several generations, 8 to [-] years.

For so long, it has been the family of the person in charge who has been in charge.Of course, in addition to digging Taigongwang's tomb, his family was also responsible for digging the tombs of previous Qi marquises.

So all in all, he is also a serious Captain Mojin.

"Tai Gong Wang's tomb was built millions of years ago. It should be a tomb of robes. Tai Gong Wang himself should have flown away in the end."

"According to the research over the years, there should be his inheritance "Six Tao" inside. The "Six Tao" records the training methods of prefecture-level Taoist soldiers, and also records many secret methods of great immortals and saints..."

Hearing this, Tian He had no expression on his face.

Tian He has heard this kind of words many times. The first time he heard it, he was particularly excited.At that time, Tian He was still a teenager, and he once fantasized about what would happen after Tian got these treasures and received Taigongwang's inheritance.

But today, I have heard similar words at least dozens of times, and my ears are numb: "I remember the last time you said it would take hundreds of years."

As soon as these words came out, the person in charge immediately shut up.

Not just the last time, but the last time, and the last time after that, almost every time he said this to Tianhe: "Your Majesty, if you add some more money and a little more manpower and material resources, you can completely break the formation. Got it!"

But what about in practice?

Tian He has increased money and manpower and material resources many times. Taigongwang's tomb is like a bottomless pit.

Every time, some breakthroughs were made, and every time it seemed that success was close at hand, but this was already the eighth time that Tian He heard that he was close at hand and that he was about to break through.

Thinking of this, Tian He said: "Tai Gongwang is good at military tactics, and is also good at rectification, and is also good at the art of Qimen Dunjia. His mastery of heavenly secrets is no less than that of King Wen, and his mastery of formations is the best in the world."

"Perhaps, this tomb is also equipped with a large number of magical formations."

"Now that the situation is like this, there is no time for further delay."

Hearing this, the person in charge immediately became anxious. This was an iron rice bowl for his entire family, his children and grandchildren, generation after generation.If this tomb were gone, how would we be able to eat and drink and ask for money and supplies in the future?
"Your Majesty, this is really the last time. It's just a little bit close. If you don't succeed, please behead me!"

The person in charge really worked hard. When he said this, he had already decided that even if he was beheaded by then, he would ensure that this project could continue to operate for generations to come.

When the time comes that he will be beheaded, it will only be because of his lack of ability, but his loyalty will still be no problem.

Isn't this the principle that aristocrats employ when employing people? Loyalty is the most important, and ability is secondary.

A mediocre person who knows the basics and is loyal is better than a genius who is not very loyal.This approach makes more or less sense.The shortcomings and advantages are obvious.

Tian He thought for a moment: "I'll give you one last chance to break the formation now. If you fail, I will break the formation forcibly!"

Having said this, Tian He took out Jiuding.

In Tian He's view, Tai Gong Wang was indeed powerful, but after all, he had been ascending for millions of years.

Previously, this formation was maintained by someone, so it could always run smoothly.

But now, no one has maintained the formation for a long time.Moreover, for tens of thousands of years, the entire perimeter of the formation has been destroyed, and recently, it has been directly isolated from the world.

Tian He still didn't believe it. He was holding the Jiuding, but he couldn't break through a large formation with no one in charge!

After a while, looking at the person in charge of the failure, Tian He began to mobilize the national destiny of Qi and input it into Jiuding. Slowly, Jiuding began to shine brightly. Perhaps because victory was close at hand, Tian He was a little excited, so Tian He There are more words.

"The secrets here have been blocked for a long time, and the outside world cannot figure out what happened here."

"Nowadays, everyone thinks that Gu is about to be crowned Duke. Who would have thought that the person in the mansion is just a stand-in?"

"The world's attention is attracted by the peace talks between Qi and Yancheng. They will only think that Gu is forced to negotiate with Yancheng under pressure and has to compromise."

Speaking of this, Tian He remembered what Sun Bin said a few days ago: "Your Majesty, now, the money spent on this war every year accounts for almost half of the total income. If this money is used to train prefecture-level Taoist soldiers, , now, we may be training the fourth prefecture-level Taoist soldiers..."

"This is only the most superficial impact of the war. At a deeper level, many profiteers (nobles) colluded with Yancheng and smuggled Yancheng products on a large scale through the black market. In the past, the trade between Yancheng and us was business-to-business. At that time, we could The key to generating a lot of profits is that most of them belong to you."

"But now, the local nobles have tasted the sweetness of smuggling, which has been going on for decades. They have a close relationship with Yancheng. For them, it is best to keep the war going."

"So, they all seem to support this war. They also donate money and materials from time to time. This is not because they are loyal, but because they can profit from this war!"

"And all this money should be yours!"

"Gu's money, Gu's money! This is Gu's money!"

After shouting these words from his heart, the Jiuding in his hand was stimulated to the extreme. Tian He aimed the Jiuding at the tomb and blasted it out...
