After the court meeting, Wang Xiong immediately went to the study!
A group of attendants were called to find all the books that Wang Hong had left behind.
"Show Gu Gu page by page, search column by column, and look for the five words 'Life and Creation Pill'. If you find it, report it to Gu immediately!" Wang Xiong ordered.
"yes!"
The attendants looked through it quickly.
Wang Xiong also called Wang Zhongquan and several elders over.
"Did you hear that my father mentioned the Life and Creation Pill?" Wang Xiong looked at everyone expectantly.
Everyone shook their heads. Wang Xiong's face darkened slightly.
The attendants searched for it, but there was no news about the Creation Pill. Wang Xiong was at a loss.
Life and Creation Pill? Does it exist
--------
East Heart City, Taiwei Mansion!
Taiwei Pang walked back and forth in the hall. These days, Taiwei Pang has been waiting for news.
"Lieutenant, the second prince Mang brings twelve martial saints and more than a hundred martial arts ancestors. Wang Xiong must be dead!" an aide advised.
"No, no, at this time, if Wang Xiong is dead, the news should have come! But, not yet, has something happened again?" Taiwei Pang was worried!
"It should be okay. There is a Gengjin barrier this time to prevent Wang Xiong's power of heaven! The inside can prevent the vines from breaking through the ground, and the outside can block the light of the eyes of the sky. All Wang Xiong's methods have been blocked. Ah!" the staff member frowned.
"My right eye has been twitching these past few days!" Pang Taiwei frowned.
"The lieutenant is too worried!" the staff member laughed.
No wonder Taiwei Pang was anxious. Now that Taiwei Pang was cornered by Wang Xiong, Prince Mang's assassination was Taiwei Pang's only hope. This hope could no longer be dashed.
"Report!" A guard shouted from outside the palace.
"Come in quickly!" Pang Taiwei shouted with his eyes bright.
The guards entered the hall and immediately bowed respectfully.
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly, is Wang Xiong dead?" Pang Taiwei said urgently.
The guard looked bitter and shook his head: "Lieutenant, Prince Mang and the others failed! The entire army was wiped out!"
"What? Impossible! Isn't there a Gengjin barrier?" Pang Taiwei's eyes widened.
"The Gengjin barrier was shattered by an immortal's palm, and all the people who set up the formation were shocked to death. Even the magic weapons that were deployed were all shattered by the immortal's palm!" the guard said bitterly.
"How, how could it be possible?" Taiwei Pang stumbled and almost fell.
"Lieutenant!" A group of staff quickly supported Taiwei Pang.
"Tell me exactly what happened!" Pang Taiwei said coldly.
"We, our spies, don't know much about the situation in the court. We just watched from a distance. An immortal descended from the sky and entered the Evergreen Hall. Then there seemed to be a quarrel inside, and then another immortal came in. , and then he was beaten and fled. Then, the first immortal also left! At the end of the palace examination, the mummies of the second prince Mang and others were transported out. At the same time, the new number one scholar was determined, and his name was Zhang Ru!" The guard said respectfully.
"Immortal? Immortal helped Wang Xiong? Why, how could this happen? Didn't the Shengdan Holy Land ignore Wang Xiong? Why did an immortal come here? How come it was such a coincidence?" Pang Taiwei was furious.
All the staff also looked dejected.
"Time! Luck! Fate!" A staff member said bitterly.
-------------
Just as Wang Xiong said to Captain Pang, there are spies from all over Zhendong City. Everything that happened in Dongfang Palace was spread to all parts of the world at the fastest speed. All the seven kings of Qin Dynasty received detailed news, even the people of Shendu The Imperial Office also received the most comprehensive information.
God's capital, go to the study!
"The Human Emperor, Zhendong City, and Wang Xiong have sorted out all their relationships!" the Prime Minister of Qin sighed.
"Yeah!" The Human Emperor nodded.
"Wang Xiong did not adopt the court structure of our Great Qin Dynasty, and did not adopt the system of three ministers and nine ministers! Instead, he established a six-ministry system! The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry! It seems that Wang Xiong is also smart! "The Prime Minister of Da Qin said with a smile.
"Wang Xiong first took charge of the Eastern fiefdom and was extremely sensitive to the rights of the fiefdom. Therefore, he wanted to concentrate all the rights in his own hands. The six departments were only responsible to Wang Xiong! What he did was right!" the Human Emperor said lightly.
"Dongfang Wangfu, the descendants of the eighteen royal families in the past have been almost wiped out. Wang Tiance betrayed the Dongfang King and was killed by Wang Zhongquan. Six of them were killed, leaving twelve. When Pang Taiwei sent out troops, he betrayed the palace and abandoned the palace. A large part of them were transferred to the clan by Wang Xiong and were raised by rich men and no longer participated in political affairs. The remaining four lines were the real gold after the big waves washed out the sand. These four lines were not only loyal to Wang Xiong, but also looked at other people. Even though they were deprived of their power, they were still trembling with fear and no longer harbored any thoughts of wrongdoing. These four veins became the mainstay of the Eastern Palace!" the Prime Minister of Qin sighed.
"Eighteen meridians, leaving four meridians is enough!" the Human Emperor said solemnly.
"Yes, what the Human Emperor said in the past was right. The eastern fiefdoms were all under Wang Xiong's control. Perhaps, all this was planned by him. At first, the children of the Wang family were asked to record the merits of all officials. The children of the Wang family thought that they were just using Those who came to deal with Taiwei Pang don't know that at this moment, this list of merit records is the most important thing!" said the Prime Minister of Da Qin.
The imperial envoy doctor Zhang Zhengdao on the side shook his head: "Gong is merit, and fault is fault. Wang Xiong has clear rewards and punishments, so that the fiefdom can be long-term and stable!"
"It's a pity, old man, for those self-righteous Wang family disciples! What a pity, what a pity that many people didn't seize this opportunity!" The Prime Minister of Qin sighed.
"It's nothing to regret! They chose the road themselves!" Zhang Zhengdao shook his head.
The Prime Minister of Great Qin looked at Zhang Zhengdao and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, I heard that Lin'er from your Zhang family has come out of the family again. This time, he actually won the top prize in the imperial examination in the Eastern Fiefdom!"
"My cousin, Zhang Ru? He is too arrogant! As soon as he left, he became the leader of the candidates! Those three thousand candidates will fill the vacancies of officials from all over the world. With his arrogance, he was stared at by King Dongfang Come on!" Zhang Zhengdao said with a bitter smile.
"That's not bad. When I first entered Wang Xiong's court, he was the Minister of Rites! When the three thousand candidates arrive, won't they follow his lead?" the Prime Minister of Da Qin said with a smile.
"False? How is it possible! King Dongfang's power is not simple. What's the use of the Minister of Rites? The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Households are the most fertile positions! Only those who have enough contact with the officials of the Eastern fiefdom can use the three thousand candidates for him, but the Ministry of Rites ?How can the Ministry of Rites be used? King Dongfang is also on guard against Zhang Ru!" Zhang Zhengdao said with a bitter smile.
"Hubu, this is King Dongfang's money bag, how can it be controlled by outsiders? It is naturally the elder of the Wang family. No matter how much the Wang family's children resist, they are of the same blood after all, and Dongfang King must trust it. The Ministry of Personnel, manages the official assessment , promotion, demotion, Zhang Ru has three thousand supporters, how can King Dongfang trust him with this right? Naturally, he is looking for someone who is loyal and has no connections with the backstage, and the children of the Wang family are not qualified! Zhang Ru became the Minister of Rites, and soon Not bad! Moreover, didn’t King Dongfang just give him a task?” the Prime Minister of Great Qin said with a smile.
"Those millions of rebels redeemed their people with spirit stones? This is a matter for the Ministry of Punishment. If Zhang Ru is asked to do such an offending thing, isn't it intentional to discredit Zhang Ru? One spirit stone for each rebel seems to be a gift. , but the rebels are all descendants of the common people, and the people will definitely resent Zhang Ru in the future!" Zhang Zhengdao frowned.
"No, I don't think so. On the contrary, I think King Dongfang is cultivating Zhang Ru!" the Prime Minister of Qin narrowed his eyes slightly.
"oh?"
"You haven't seen that in addition to the six departments, there is actually another department. This department is responsible for foreign affairs, not internal affairs! The Ministry of Rites also deals with diplomacy, and the Minister of Rites is also responsible for this aspect. It is responsible for foreign affairs! Diplomacy, military affairs Things! But it’s all in this department!” Prime Minister Da Qin narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The Secret Office of the Eastern Fiefdom?" Zhang Zhengdao narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, Tianji Department! Tianji Department, there are only two people now, or two camps, Tianlang Camp and Tianshe Camp! There used to be a Tiance Camp, but unfortunately, Wang Tiance didn't know what to do and committed suicide!" The Prime Minister of Qin said in a deep voice. road.
"The Tianji Department is responsible for foreign wars! The six departments are responsible for internal political affairs! The King of the East is very detailed!" Zhang Zhengdao narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Eastern fiefdom? Ha, it's getting more and more impressive!" The Human Emperor showed a hint of satisfaction.
----------
Zhendong City, in a small courtyard of Dongfang Prince's Mansion.
Wang Xiong was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, with Wang Zhongquan standing beside him and several officials standing in front of him.
"North of Zhendong City, there is a large area of mountains and forests. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs are responsible for the construction of the Eastern Palace! The specifications are based on the Great Qin Shendu Palace!" Wang Xiong looked at several officials and said.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to build the Dongfang Palace? Isn't the Dongfang Palace in Dongcheng City not enough?" said an elder of the Wang family in confusion.
Wang Xiong shook his head: "When Zhendong City becomes the royal capital, it will continue to expand. After all, the scope of the city is too small. The palace is only a temporary residence, so naturally it cannot become a palace. Now there are only a few million people in Zhendong City. In the future, there will be thousands With a population of 10,000 or even over 100 million, do you think the Eastern Palace will be enough at that time?"
"One hundred million? A city?" The officials widened their eyes, showing disbelief.
However, Wang Xiong did not explain. Is it an exaggeration to have ministers with over 100 million people? It’s just that the Eastern fiefdom is still within the scope of ordinary people! Wang Xiong had seen many cities worth over 100 million in his previous life.
"This is the drawing made by Gu Chu. You can start planning according to this drawing!" Wang Xiong handed over a stack of paper.
Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works immediately checked, and at first glance, they all showed wry smiles. What the Ministry of Finance is worried about is how much it will cost, and the Eastern fiefdom is not enough. The officials from the Ministry of Industry were even more dumbfounded. The Dongfang Palace only enclosed a few mountain peaks into the palace. But this Eastern Palace encompasses the mountains. With such a big palace, we won’t be able to get past it in the next morning!
"Let's start the preliminary construction first! It doesn't need to be done overnight, just build the basics!" Wang Xiong ordered.
"Yes!" Officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs expressed bitterness.
"Go down!" Wang Xiong waved his hand.
The officials took the drawings and left in collapse.
"Wang Zhongquan, speed up the formation of the Qingyi Guards. We don't want any more problems during this period!" Wang Xiong glanced at Wang Zhongquan.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the formation of the Tsing Yi Guard has also been accelerated. Moreover, I have accepted abandoned orphans from all over the country and integrated them into the Tsing Yi Guard Institute. They will be trained to be loyal to the emperor and impart knowledge and skills. They will become the most elite members of the Tsing Yi Guard in the future. Power!" Wang Zhongquan said solemnly.
Wang Xiong nodded.
At this moment, Zhang Ru came.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Ru, pays homage to your Majesty!" Zhang Ru gave a slight salute.
Zhang Ru, the new champion of the Eastern Fiefdom, was naturally high-spirited when he left the court that day. Ten days later, the news spread throughout the eastern fiefdoms, and Zhang Ru became the largest official in this scientific expedition, a third-rank official! Reach heaven in one step!
However, it happened to be the Ministry of Rites, and the first task was to redeem the prisoners with the money that the officials of the Ministry of Punishment were responsible for. In an instant, his reputation as the Minister of Rites became bad.
Zhang Ru still felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Sit down!" Wang Xiong smiled.
"I don't dare!" Zhang Ru said angrily.
"Zhang Ru, I know that you come from an aristocratic family, so you should have lofty ambitions. I have heard of the ideals of the aristocratic family, which are self-cultivation, family harmony, country governance, and world peace! Four heights, which one do you Zhang Ru want to reach? Wang Xiong stared at Zhang Ru and said.
Zhang Ru raised his eyebrows. Zhang Ru was also an extremely intelligent person. For a moment, thoughts flashed through his mind. Suddenly, a trace of panic appeared in his eyes, and then he looked at Wang Xiong with gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I just came out of the mountain and almost immersed myself in superficial vanity!" Zhang Ru said with a slight bitter smile.
Zhang Ru figured it out instantly.
Previously, Zhang Ru was surrounded by 3,000 candidates, but now he was surrounded by 3,000 officials, responding to every call. It can be said to be a step up! At that time, I was thinking about how I could lead these candidates and make the eastern fiefdom prosperous. It can be regarded as living up to what you have learned!
But now it seems that I was a little immersed in vanity. And the king has been trying to dispel his own vanity during this period, and he is still not convinced
Governing the country? Peaceful world
Are you just a capable minister? No, how could an Eastern fiefdom and thirty-six mortal cities accommodate me? You need a broader world, mortal? No, Immortal! All the immortals in the world must be controlled by themselves.
Peace in the world! Opening up territories and making great achievements is what you want to do.
Cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world!
He cannot stop at governing the country.
In an instant, all Zhang Ru's previous grievances were relieved. He bowed solemnly to Wang Xiong.
On the side, Wang Zhongquan still didn’t understand what it meant, but Wang Xiong was extremely happy. The wet face in front of him was revealed at a glance. It was indeed an extraordinary talent. His arrangement was due to the height of his previous life. Many officials, even Yan Yan, and others had already He didn’t even understand what he meant, but Zhang Ru understood!
"I called you here today. I just want to consult you about something!" Wang Xiong took a deep breath and said.
"Your Majesty, please speak! I will tell you everything I know!" Zhang Ru said immediately.
"You are a child of an aristocratic family. The family has a rich heritage. You should know a lot about this place's history. Have you ever heard of the 'Life and Fortune Pill'?" Wang Xiong stared at Zhang Ru and asked.
"Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill? Is that what Li Shenxian said that day?" Zhang Ru looked solemn.
Wang Xiong nodded.
"I do know that the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill comes from the Holy Land of Shengsheng Dan. However, it was in the past. Now, I don't know!" Zhang Ru frowned.
"oh?"
"Your Majesty, you should know that the Holy Land is one level higher than the Holy Land. Thousands of years ago, it was still the Holy Land of Shengdan. The Holy Land of Shengdan has the treasure of suppressing religion, which is the Shengsheng Creation Pill. It is said that as long as mortals still have one breath, , no matter how serious the injury is, it can be repaired. For immortals, most injuries can also be restored by swallowing pills, which is a wonderful method! At that time, the Sanctuary of Pills was extremely powerful, and even the true gods were frequent visitors. In order to obtain a Life and Creation Pill!
It's just that success is called the "Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill", and failure is also "Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill"! This elixir aroused the jealousy of many forces, who broke into sects and plundered it. As a result, the Sanctuary of Shengsheng Dan was almost completely destroyed, and the Shengsheng Good Fortune Dan was also lost. From now on, there is no legend about the Shengsheng Good Fortune Dan.
The remaining disciples rebuilt the Holy Land of Shengdan on the ruins! Fortunately, although the method of refining the Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill was no longer available, there were still methods for refining other elixirs, and the Holy Land of Shengsheng Dan was slowly restored to its vitality. And it continued to grow, until four years ago, it was once again promoted to the Holy Domain. However, the Danshen Holy Domain at this moment should be the weakest Holy Domain! "Zhang Ru recalled the records in the classics.
"That is to say, there was a Creation Pill in the past, but it was lost?" Wang Xiong said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Zhang Ru nodded.
Wang Xiong frowned and thought deeply, since it has been lost, why did Li Shenxian tell him? Life and Creation Pill? Is the Holy Land of Shengdan really gone
