Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

before the campaign begins.

The senior officials of Jingjue Country hosted a banquet for Fang Yuan.

Delicious delicacies from the country are served as quickly as possible.

Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan sat at the front, enjoying their compliments.

"Everyone, I am here mainly for Hong Xu's election as a saint."

Fang Yuan raised his glass, drank with everyone and then said.

When everyone heard this, their expressions immediately changed and they exchanged glances.

Many people showed dissatisfaction and placed their cups heavily on the table to express their dissatisfaction.

"Of course, I know that it is impolite to interfere with the political power of other countries, so I would like to ask you to see something first."

Fang Yuan didn't mind.

His current behavior is like someone else interfering with the succession of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

So he decided to show them something so that they would know the power of it and make the right choice.

Saying that, Fang Yuan came to the corridor of the pagoda, looked at the ground, and looked at the three cannons brought by Fang Yuan.

The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom came over one after another and looked at the three cannons on the ground with Fang Yuan.

Thinking of the power they just saw and Hong Xu's explanation, everyone's expressions changed again.

"This is called a cannon. It is the most powerful weapon in the Tang Dynasty. It is ready for mass production."

Fang Yuan gestured towards Xue Rengui below.

Xue Rengui, who was looking at Fang Yuan, nodded and immediately ordered the guards.

Under the operation of Xue Rengui and others, a bomb was put into the cannon and successfully fired.

With a bang, the explosives flew out and hit a wall outside the pagoda, which could be understood as the palace city.

With a bang, the explosives exploded on the wall. The huge explosion was deafening, and the wall collapsed, leaving a huge hole.

"hiss!!!"

The faces of the senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom changed drastically, and they all took a deep breath.

Although they were a little shocked when they heard Hong Xu's explanation just now, they were still very suspicious.

Now that they saw with their own eyes that a single cannon could really blow up a city, they immediately became uneasy.

If the Tang Dynasty really comes to kill, then nothing in their Jingjue country can stop the cannon.

Even if the 36 countries in the Western Region cooperate together, they will not be Datang's opponent.

At this moment, everyone was filled with panic.

At the same time, the city of King Jingjue was in chaos, soldiers took urgent action, and people fled in fear.

"If Hong Xu wins this election, I can give you two forts from Jing Jue Country."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly and said slowly.

For a moment, the frightened and undecided senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom showed surprises one after another.

If their elite country could use such a terrifying weapon, how could they become the strongest among the 36 countries in the Western Region?

"What if you lose?"

someone asked.

"If we lose, I will take Hongxu away, and then those forts will shoot at your Jingjue country."

Fang Yuan laughed, but his smile was cold.

The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom all have different thoughts and ideas, and there is no immediate statement.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, we need time to discuss."

Finally, the top leaders of Jingjue Kingdom wanted to discuss it.

Fang Yuan's status as King of Zhou Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty made them fearful.

Datang's forts and other advanced weapons also made them fearful.

Overall, it is best to do what Fang Yuan wants.

However, how can we agree to such a humiliation when someone is meddling in the government affairs of our country?
So we need to discuss and decide which choice to make?

"Hopefully soon!"

Fang Yuan nodded and said.

Negotiation is for sure, but it must be done as soon as possible.

Hongxu and the others have already started, Fang Yuan doesn't want her to be in danger.

Fang Yuan doesn't mind whether he achieved the status of saintess through his own victory.

As long as it is obtained, it doesn't matter if it is a normal or abnormal method?
"Husband, I feel like they will agree."

Du Miaoyan smiled lightly.

Jingjue Country is a small country after all, and it is probably normal to face a behemoth like Datang.

"It seems so, but you have to be careful."

"It would be bad if they take risks and force us to stay."

Fang Yuan laughed.

The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom should not have the guts to force him to stay.

But it is necessary to be on guard against others. It is better to be careful so that you can have a countermeasure.

Naturally, Fang Yuan also arranged for people to stay outside Jingjue Country. If he did not send a signal for a long time, then they would mobilize Wang Shiyu's army.

"Uh-huh."

Du Miaoyan nodded and said.

Then, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan came to another corridor.

Looking from here, you can see Hongxu and the others competing below.

Human figures flickered there, and occasionally some strange animals could be seen flying.

It took a long time for Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan to find the trace of Hong Xu.

Seeing many people surrounding her, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan were immediately worried.

I saw Hongxu and others running around in the park, doing strange things from time to time, as if they were controlling something.

Occasionally, I saw some people falling down and making no movement.

If you are a layman, you will definitely find this behavior very boring and incomprehensible.

But having experienced the poisons that entered the Jingjue Kingdom, Fang Yuan knew that every move they made could bring fatal danger.

The people of their elite country are very scary, and they may give their enemies a death hug without realizing it.

It's strange to say that Fang Yuan has never seen Hongxu use poison, and he doesn't know that she uses poison. How can he be elected as the Saint of the Jingjue Kingdom?
In fact, what Fang Yuan doesn't know is that the saints of the Jingjue Kingdom can participate without using poison. Before they become saints, they need to use poison to gain fame, but after becoming saints, they are more about managing the country and no longer need to Use poison.

This is why Hongxu can't use poison, and with the support of her mother, she can still become one of the candidates for the saint.

About a stick of incense or so.

The top leaders of Jingjue Country finally returned.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, we can promise you, but we still have a condition."

The top executive of Jingjue Country said.

"Tell me."

Fang Yuan nodded and motioned for them to continue talking.

"We want you and the saint to be married, and your daughter to become the next saint of the Jingjue Kingdom!"

The senior executive of Jingjue Kingdom said in a deep voice.

Fang Yuan was the King of Zhou in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Fang Yuan was one person below ten thousand people.

If Fang Yuan marries their saint, then their Jingjue country will become the strongest among the 36 countries in the Western Region.

As long as Fang Yuan is still there, then their Jingjue Nation will still be there, and even become stronger and stronger.

"That's it?"

Fang Yuan was greatly surprised.

It's just a favor, how come it's a condition?

In fact, Fang Yuan didn't know that it seemed that his and Hongxu's daughter would become the next Jingjue Kingdom Saintess, but the Jingjue Kingdom Saintess was elected every five years.

As soon as she passed Hongxu and Hongxu's daughter, the saint of Jingjue Kingdom returned to the state of running for election.

During this period of time, with the support of Fang Yuan, Jing Jue Country may have become stronger than ever before.

It seems that Fang Yuan has benefited, but their country is waiting for more benefits.

"Yes, that's our condition."

"As long as you agree, Gonghua Xiaoyun will win today and become the saint of my country."

The top brass of Jingjue Kingdom nodded heavily.

Fang Yuan nodded, but did not reply immediately, but looked at Du Miaoyan.

Du Miaoyan is her principal concubine, and she decides all matters in the harem. Whether or not to marry Hongxu requires her nod.

The top management of Jingjue Kingdom was stunned, and their expressions changed slightly. Then they also looked at Du Miaoyan, and Du Miaoyan made the decision.

"I'm attaching a condition. If you agree, then we agree."

Du Miaoyan said solemnly.

"Please tell me." The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom asked quickly.

"We not only want to marry Hongxu, but also Qinggao!"

Du Miaoyan said in a deep voice.

Hongxu and Qinggao are Fang Yuan's maids and have served Fang Yuan for many years.

According to the custom of the Tang Dynasty, if they are not released so that they can get married and have children, then they will be kept as side wives.

Now that Hongxu is about to become a saint of Jingjue country, just like the king of the same country, it is naturally inappropriate to have a side wife, and she can just marry as a princess normally.

But there can be no partiality, Qingguo also has to join in.

"Qinggao, who is Qinggao?"

The top brass of Jingjue Country asked in confusion.

"That's the soldier who protects Hongxu."

Du Miaoyan explained.

Hongxu and Qinggao were their pseudonyms in the Tang Dynasty.

Both of them have their own names in Jingjue Kingdom. Among them, Hongxu is called Gonghua Xiaoyun, but Qinggao doesn't know.

"no problem!"

The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom nodded.

It's just an extra warrior, no different from a dowry.

"Okay, let's officially cooperate."

Du Miaoyan said solemnly.

"it is good!"

The senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom nodded.

Then he whispered and arranged for people to do it.

Not long after, changes occurred in the duel arena, and another group of people entered the arena to support Hong Xu.

In the originally evenly matched scene, more people entered the arena to support Hongxu. After several life-and-death struggles, Hongxu won.

"Won!"

At the moment of victory, Hongxu could hardly believe that she had won.

Before Fang Yuan came, she never dared to think that she could be hard.

After Fang Yuan came, Hongxu was full of confidence in herself.

But this confidence is false, it is just to comfort myself.

However, unexpectedly, he actually won?
"Hong Xu, this victory doesn't seem that simple."

"The number of manpower on our side suddenly increased, and it seems that the higher-ups are also taking action."

Qingyao is a warrior here, more flexible and knows more.

She obviously felt that it was very difficult at the beginning, but when she was about to win later, the pressure suddenly decreased.

The two saint candidates who were originally staring at Hongxu suddenly disappeared from behind, seeming to be entangled in difficulties.

The two sides seemed to have reached a cooperation. No one could entangle the two saint candidates, but they were entangled.

It can be seen that the above should have taken action.

"Is it the master?"

Hongxu said in a deep voice.

She doesn't like this unfair competition.

But if Fang Yuan takes action, then she has no objection.

Anyway, she agreed to run for Saintess, actually just to help Fang Yuan.

Hong Xu and Qing Wei knew that one of the points of Fang Yuan’s Maritime Silk Road was in the Western Region, so they wanted to help Fang Yuan.

The Maritime Silk Road is not only farther than the land Silk Road, but also involves more places. The Western Region is just one of them, and there are other overseas places.

"It should be, let's go up and have a look."

Qinggao nodded.

Except for Fang Yuan, no one should help them.

The difficulties that I and others have faced these days are clearly visible. There is no one to help, and it is impossible to win.

But the situation changed after Fang Yuan came, so besides Fang Yuan, Qingyao couldn't think of anyone else who would help them.

Hong Xu nodded and prepared to leave the competition venue.

However, at this moment, the two saint candidates were pressed past.

"Gong Hua Xiaoyun!!!"

The seductive woman roared.

She struggled, trying to rush towards Hongxu.

But she was detained by two guards and could not escape.

"Gong Hua Xiaoyun, in Han Chinese terms, you can't win without force, and I despise you."

The other saint candidate had a much calmer expression and a much colder look.

But at this time, he was looking at Hongxu fiercely, wishing he could eat Hongxu.

"The Han people also have a saying, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."

Hongxu snorted coldly.

She didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Indeed, this time it was Fang Yuan who took action and he was able to win.

However, this campaign is all about the strength of the supporters.

Fang Yuan is his master and his supporter.

Therefore, Hongxu did not feel that her victory was insignificant.

"If I don't die, I won't let this go."

The cold woman said coldly.

"If I don't die, I will definitely kill you."

The charming woman said harshly.

"Wait and see."

Hongxu chuckled.

Waving their hands, the two were taken away by the guards.

Facing the danger between the two of them, Hongxu was actually a little worried.

If these two people don't die, then they will be the future bosses.

The chief executive is not a high-ranking official in the Jingjue Kingdom, but he is a high-ranking official in the Saintess Cult.

The Saintess Cult has the supreme status in Jingjue Country. If the two of them do not cooperate with their policies, it will be difficult to implement the policies.

"Don't worry, if they don't die in the punishment, we will send them on their way again."

Hongxu looked at the direction in which the two saint candidates were leaving and said in a deep voice.

She does not allow any existence that threatens the stability of the position of the Red Cat Saint.

"Then let's go up."

Hongxu smiled slightly.

He and Qingwei headed towards the pagoda.

Along the way, people kept appearing from the forest, standing on both sides of Hong Xu and their heads, bowing their heads respectfully.

This is a ceremony that represents Hongxu's victory and her upcoming status as a saint of Jingjue Kingdom.

Hong Xu was in a surging mood, but she knew she couldn't lose her composure.

Take a deep breath, try to control your emotions, and finally climb the pagoda.

The ninth floor of the pagoda is a physical exercise. When reaching the ninth floor, Hongxu felt a little breathless.

But when he saw the senior officials of Jingjue Kingdom, the chief executive, Fang Yuan and others waiting for him, the fatigue on his body was swept away.

"Gong Hua Xiaoyun, congratulations on your victory. After the canonization meeting tomorrow, you will become the No. 30 Saint of Jingjue Kingdom."

The Chief of Staff said loudly.

Everyone looked at Hongxu with congratulatory eyes.

"Thank you, Chief Manager, thank you all, thank you, Master!"

Hongxu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Even now, she is still called Mr. Fang Yuan.

Even though it was somewhat inappropriate for a saintly lady from an exquisite country to call a Han man master, Hongxu didn't care and just called her like this.

"Gong Hua Xiaoyun, after tomorrow, you will be the saint of Jingjue Kingdom, and you will also marry the King of Zhou of the Tang Dynasty. Please don't call him "Master" in the future, which will damage the face of our Jingjue Kingdom."

The head of the department reminded.

The saint is supreme, not someone else's maid.

You can ignore the past, but you cannot ignore the future.
