The Eastern Palace!
Good news came from all directions in the Eastern Fiefdom, and all the officials showed joy.
"Is there any place where imperial examinations in various places are impassable now?" Wang Xiong looked at the officials in front of him.
"Your Majesty, everything went well in the preliminary examination of the imperial examination. Not to mention our relationship, because the officials who were promoted to nobility and official positions surrendered to us. They knew the purpose of the imperial examination and they worked harder. How could there be any reason to stop it?" an official said with a smile.
"Of course they have to work hard. They have just surrendered to us and have not yet established a firm footing. How can they do it if they don't make some achievements?" Wang Tiance said with a smile.
"Yes, and among those who were demoted, some have come to surrender, especially the Lord of East Heart City. Prince, do we accept him?" an official said with excitement.
Nowadays, the situation is very good. In the past, the number of officials controlled by the palace was only half of that of Taiwei Pang. Now, it has surpassed Taiwei Pang, and it is still increasing.
"Take it, why not? It's best to take all of Taiwei Pang's men!" Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, let Taiwei Pang have no one available, let Taiwei Pang get out!" Everyone suddenly laughed.
"But, Your Majesty, if you accept their surrender, what will be the position of these people after Captain Pang leaves...!" A member of the Wang family worried.
Yes, the purpose of the imperial examination is to fill the positions of these people. Moreover, not to mention the imperial examination, in the minds of these officials, those positions have been divided up. What should we do if we ask those people to surrender and there will be no room for them in the future
"After Captain Pang left, everything was not a matter of a word from me?" Wang Xiong said lightly.
"Yes, yes, drive away Captain Pang first!" The officials suddenly laughed.
In the eyes of everyone, Wang Xiong's words were already obvious. He was waiting to drive Taiwei Pang away before dealing with them. What else are you worried about
Wang Xiong looked at everyone with a smile, but a cold light flashed in his heart. If you have meritorious service, I will naturally reward you, and even reward you twice as much. However, if you are too greedy and regard your fiefdom and official positions as your family's wealth, then I will not agree to it.
"Your Majesty, the purpose of widening Enke is to fill the position of officials of the Pang Taiwei faction. Now everyone knows it. After the officials of the Pang Taiwei faction surrendered, they found that Enke had not been reduced. Would they be worried? If they had guessed Our plan, when the time comes...!" Wang Tiance frowned.
"Enke cannot stop. Once Enke stops, it will give Pang Taiwei a chance to breathe. The officials of Pang Taiwei's faction will no longer have pressure. Only when the pressure continues to increase, will they continue to come to surrender. As for the surrenders, Suspicions? It doesn't matter, start recording your achievements now!" Wang Xiong said solemnly.
"Record achievements?" Everyone was slightly startled.
"Yes, record the credit of everyone for forcing Taiwei Pang away, the credit of Ember for killing the enemy, the credit of the cooperation of officials from all over the country, and the credit of the surrendered officials, all in the record! Let's discuss the merits after Taiwei Pang leaves. Rewards!" Wang Xiong said solemnly.
"Rewards based on merit?" The officials frowned.
How to reward according to merit? The positions of the officials of Taiwei Pang's faction have been decided by me and others. How can I reward them? In everyone's mind, the power of the Eastern Fiefdom has actually been divided among themselves by tacit understanding during this period. What kind of reward will be given then
The officials immediately frowned and wanted to object.
"It's just a reassurance for the surrendered officials. Do you really think that the record of this achievement is so important?" Wang Xiong said with a smile.
All the officials were startled, and then they all suddenly realized.
"That's right, it's just to appease the surrendered officials. Haha, a group of people who betrayed the fiefdom still expect to stand up in the future?" An official laughed suddenly.
"Your Majesty's plan is superb, I admire you!" All the officials suddenly laughed.
Just a scam? The officials naturally have nothing to worry about.
"In order to be more convincing, remember that, just like the imperial examination, there must be no trace of fraud to prevent those who surrender from becoming suspicious. Whoever has merit will be recorded. No credit should be taken or derogation!" Wang Xiong said solemnly! .
To make it look more like a scam? The officials suddenly laughed.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, no one will dare to do anything wrong with this record of credit!" The officials suddenly laughed.
Wang Xiong nodded and looked at everyone with a smile.
scam? Do you really think it's a scam? The credit book cannot be fully used, but it is also the basis for Wang Xiong to govern the eastern fiefdom in the future.
Once Taiwei Pang leaves, this record of merit will be the basis for determining the fate of all officials.
As long as you officials work hard and have great political achievements in your credit book, you will never be stingy in giving generous rewards. However, if you are just doing nothing for the sake of intrigue and profiting from your own family, then you are sorry, although it will not be a case of ransacking your home. , but at least, if you are not qualified for your current position, forget about the fiefdom and enjoy the happiness in the clan.
Great achievements are in front of you. If you cherish them and work hard, Wang Xiong will naturally treat you favorably. But if you don’t know how to cherish it, then no one can help you.
As for those officials who surrendered? As long as the merits are sufficient, Wang Xiong will not be stingy with the grants. A court does not need a voice. Different voices can further consolidate his political power.
Wang Xiong appeased the ministers, explained something, and asked them to do their work.
Watching the officials leave, Wang Xiong took a deep breath: "The Eastern Fiefdom is really in short supply of talents!"
Wang Xiong was sitting in the main hall, meditating. Three more people came outside the hall, Wang Zhongquan, Wang Tiance, and Jumen.
Wang Zhongquan grabbed a scroll, followed closely by Wang Tiance and Jumen.
"Your Majesty, a messenger came to Chilian Holy Land just now. He left after delivering the letter!" Wang Zhongquan stepped forward and handed over the scroll.
"The person who sent the message said before leaving that he would like me, Jumen, and Yi Yan to go to the Chilian Holy Land together? Your Majesty, why is this?" Wang Tiance also said in confusion.
"Oh?" Wang Xiong took the scroll letter with a hint of confusion and started reading it.
--------
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the 'Ascending Immortal Conference' was held in Chilian Holy Land. I took a Nine Dragons Pill Furnace and refined the 'Ascending Immortal Pill' in the furnace. The anger has been burning for nine years, and the furnace is opened on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. The martial saints from all over the world are invited to come and watch the ceremony. The kings of the East, Wang Xiong, Wang Tiance, Jumen, and Ember, should come and watch!
--------
"Sir, what are you writing about?" Jumen asked curiously.
Wang Xiong handed the invitation out.
Wang Zhongquan and Wang Tiance immediately looked around carefully.
"The Immortal Ascension Conference? The Immortal Ascension Pill? It's actually the Immortal Ascension Pill? Real or fake! The Immortal Ascension Pill is hard to find in the world. If you want to become an immortal at the peak of a martial saint, you have to go through tribulations to become an immortal. Many martial saints eventually died in It's under heavenly calamity, but can the Ascending Immortal Pill help the Martial Saints overcome the calamity? This is the most precious treasure of the martial saints in the world! Moreover, the Ascending Immortal Pill is the Supreme Yang Pill, even if the immortal swallows it, it will be of great benefit!" Jumen was shocked! shouted.
"Elixir of Immortality? Nine Dragon Pill Furnace?" Wang Tiance's expression changed.
"It's the master's alchemy furnace, it's the master's!" Wang Zhongquan's face darkened.
"My father?" Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, Jiulong Alchemy Furnace. My lord, have you forgotten? I have never allowed you to go to the alchemy room before!" Wang Zhongquan explained.
Wang Xiong raised his eyebrows. It was indeed the case. At that time, there was a billowing heat wave in a large hall. Wang Hong was worried about hurting Wang Xiong, so he sent people to guard the outside to prevent Wang Xiong from entering.
"The master opened a furnace of pills when the prince was ten years old! This furnace of pills took nine years to be refined. It was said to be given to a senior brother of the master named Chiyunzi. After the master's death, the furnace of pills disappeared. ." Wang Zhongquan said with a bitter smile.
"Chi Yunzi?" Wang Xiong frowned slightly, not impressed.
However, Wang Xiong also heard a hint of surprise. This was a furnace of pills refined for his senior brother. It would take nine years to open the furnace. And his father knew that he would die early and could not wait for the day when the furnace of pills would be opened. Why did he continue to refine it? This furnace pill
"It's called Chi Yunzi. I really want to hear the master once mentioned that he wanted to ask Chi Yunzi to take care of the prince...!" Wang Zhongquan said bitterly.
In an instant, Wang Xiong guessed that Wang Honglian's elixir was used to benefit Chi Yunzi, and he asked Chi Yunzi to protect him after his father died. However, Chi Yunzi did not stay to protect him at all. But left early.
"Chiyunzi? Ha!" Wang Xiong showed a sneer.
"That alchemy furnace, I heard is the most precious treasure of the old prince!" Wang Tiance frowned.
"Well, I also heard the master mention that this is the best treasure he got in the Holy Land of Shengdan!" Wang Zhongquan also nodded.
"Chilian Holy Land, please invite me to attend the Immortal Ascension Conference?" Wang Xiong frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, there are us too!" Wang Tiance also said.
"My lord, the Chilian Holy Land is a dangerous place. You can't go there! They must want to harm your lord!" Wang Zhongquan said immediately.
Wang Tiance and Jumen's eyes flashed with anticipation.
The elixir of immortality! Anyone who is a Martial Saint is extremely eager for it. Wang Tiance also knew that only one tenth of the catastrophe that a Martial Saint would face when he was promoted to an Immortal could survive. But the immortal elixir is guaranteed to be delivered. Who doesn't want that
"You guys go down first and let me think about it!" Wang Xiong said.
"Yes!" Everyone slowly exited the hall with their own thoughts.
But soon, Wang Zhongquan returned to the hall again.
"Mr. Wang?" Wang Xiong looked at Wang Zhongquan doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, when the old slave returned to the room just now, another arrow was shot!" Wang Zhongquan stepped forward and handed out an arrow.
"Oh?" Wang Xiong was slightly startled.
In the past, before the two holy sons of Chi Lian Holy Land attacked, someone used an arrow to inform Wang Zhongquan. At that time, it was guessed that it was Wang Xiong's uncle, but now another one has arrived.
"Old slave checked, it's the same material as the original arrow, and the paper tied to this arrow is also made of the same material!" Wang Zhongquan handed over the note.
"It was the same person who shot me!" Wang Xiong opened the note in confusion.
------
Holy Master Chi Lian invites martial saints from all over the world to gather at Chi Lian Holy Land to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference. It's a conspiracy, don't participate!
------
"Invite martial saints from all over the world? So it's not just the Eastern fiefdoms!" Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes.
"Your Majesty, what does the letter say?" Wang Zhongquan showed a trace of doubt.
Wang Xiong handed over the note.
Wang Zhongquan frowned after reading it: "My lord, this is to remind you of the danger, don't participate!"
Wang Xiong was silent for a moment: "Go and call Xiao Si, I have something to ask him!"
"Yes!" Wang Zhongquan nodded doubtfully.
Soon, Holy Son Sixin was invited to Wang Xiong's hall. During this period, Sixin did not interfere in Wang Xiong's government affairs, but Wang Xiong's power was evident from Wang Xiong's various strategies.
"Sir, are you looking for me?" Holy Son Sixin showed curiosity.
"Xiao Si, do you know Chiyunzi?" Wang Xiong stared at Sixin Holy Son and asked.
"Chi Yunzi?" Holy Son Sixin's expression suddenly changed.
"What? It's not convenient to tell?" Wang Xiong showed a trace of doubt.
Holy Son Sixin stared at Wang Xiong for a while, and finally showed a trace of bitterness and shook his head: "No, it's just that this is the secret of the Chilian Holy Land. Unexpectedly, sir also knows it!"
"Oh?" Wang Xiong looked at Holy Son Sixin in confusion.
"There are two great guest elders in Chilian Holy Land. One is Mr. Lu Yanglu, and the other is Chiyunzi, an immortal!" Holy Son Sixin said with a bitter smile.
"Immortal? Chiyunzi? He actually went to Chilian Holy Land as a guest?" Wang Xiong asked in surprise.
Chi Yunzi is Wang Hong's senior brother, so isn't he a disciple of the Holy Lord of the Holy Land of Pills? Why do you want to be a guest in Chilian Holy Land
"Chi Yun Zi Ke Qing, even in Chi Lian Holy Land, he never shows up. Sir, how do you know?" Holy Son Si Xin asked curiously.
"He stole my father's Nine Dragon Pill Furnace! An invitation was just sent!" Wang Xiong said solemnly.
While talking, Wang Xiong handed over the invitation.
