Eunuch Liu's face was as still as water, and he couldn't see any joy or anger. He asked again: "There are several ways to go up the ranks. I don't know which one I want to take?"
"This palace is the Empress of the Great Qin Emperor, and should follow the ancestral system and follow the ancient methods."
Eunuch Liu's face turned pale, and he said: "Your Majesty has far-sightedness and insight, she is far above men, this old slave admires me."
The so-called ancient method refers to the rules established by the Taizu, to acquire land by conquest, to confer titles with military merit, and gradually expand until it reaches the standard of a powerful family. This is the most orthodox, oldest and most difficult path. Ordinary high-ranking aristocratic families need a lot of military merit if they want to advance to the top rank. Therefore, in the early days of the empire, the road to the rise of every clan was paved with the bones of countless dark races.
It's just that this method is too difficult and slow. Even if a family has a large number of talents, it must be operated for more than a hundred years, and it is possible to work hard for several generations. But precisely because it was too difficult, the clan system was gradually criticized as a tool for the clans to stagnate and monopolize resources. Many scholars from poor families even ran around and shouted, even wanting to abolish the family.
At the time of the resurgence of Wu Zu, capable ministers and powerful generals gathered in the court, and the powerful who were not born in the world gathered in the court. Many of them had brilliant achievements in the contemporary era, but according to the ancient law, they could not be promoted.
Wu Zu moved according to the times, and opened up the way to raise the valve, so that there is a grand scene of the nine valves together. At that time, the Nine Factions deserved their names, and no one in the world refused to accept them.
However, after Wu Zu, the world was in decline, people's hearts were not old, and the emperors of the previous and subsequent dynasties were very happy with their achievements, and they also wanted to leave a name in history. But they didn't have the unworldly martial arts like the Martial Ancestor, and they were persuaded by people with ulterior motives, so they moved their minds to the road of promotion.
All of a sudden, there were more and more roads to promotion, at most there were more than a dozen, and the number of clans also increased sharply. There were more than 20 clans in chaos, and in order to distinguish Zhang, Zhao and other real clans from them , The emperor at that time also divided the family into three classes.
If there are too many gatekeepers, it will be worthless. Many families were unable to open up to the outside world, and they could only rely on internal fighting if they wanted to gain territory. Therefore, at that time, the court was full of smog and chaos.
Fortunately, a Mingjun finally came out, vigorously rectified the chaos of the clans, regained the ancient system, and downgraded many clans who got involved in it, and finally only the five clans remained. These five clans are the real clans that deserve their names.
And the emperor also edited history at the same time, not denying this chaos, and only recognized five clans, and the rest were all labeled as fake characters. For a long time, the descendants of the family involved have been controversial about this, believing that it is not possible to abolish three generations because of one dynasty, and that it needs to be treated differently. However, the successive emperors have never let go of this matter.
After rectifying the clan, Daqin reorganized the way to ascend the clan, and finally left five pathways. So far, one of the most controversial ones is the opening of the king.
This line has been used several times, but the family has a long history and profound heritage, and it cannot be accumulated in a short time. After the death of the king of heaven, there are precedents for the family property to be wiped out by the descendants not long after. In addition, being a powerhouse is not just about benefits and fame, but also about responsibilities. The responsibility of guarding the land and the burden of war alone are enough to exhaust the savings of a family in more than ten years.
At present, the rumor of the revival of the empire has been spread for several years, and the turmoil has actually begun at the same time. The ups and downs of the clan reappeared. First, the Song clan was downgraded.
Empress Li expressed her heart at this moment, and wanted to promote the family according to the ancient method, that is, it is possible for the Li family to win a large number of military exploits in the next battle. In this process, it must have contributed a lot to the empire, needless to say.
So Eunuch Liu also admired it. In fact, given the special nature of the Li family's Tianjishu family and her status as an empress, there are at least two other ways to choose. However, as a woman, Li Hou had great determination and courage, and resolutely chose the most difficult path.
Choosing this path is in fact equating to choosing the interests of the empire. After Liu Gonggong admired it, he said: "Your Majesty understands righteousness deeply, and this old slave admires it. If there is a need to use this old slave, your Majesty just orders it."
Li Houdao: "I was thinking about it, but there is indeed one thing I want to ask my father-in-law."
"My lady, please tell me."
"The father of this child is opening up a new world on Yonglu at the moment. I heard that he recently met the Mosar werewolf. Sosa, the great lord of Mosar, also heard that he has appeared in the new world. How is this going to be?" good?"
"It is the duty of the king of heaven to deal with the majesty. The strength of this old slave is low, and he dare not surpass it."
Empress Li sighed, and said: "Eunuch, I might as well say that this matter involves two factions in the court. The key is how to treat the father of the child. To tell you the truth, there is a group of people who are not of my race. Their thoughts must be different. Not only do they not intend to help, but they also do not allow others to intervene. They want to use the hands of the Mosar werewolf to get rid of that person. But think about it, the father-in-law grew up in the empire since he was a child. He is Lin Dazai's adopted son, so how could he have done anything wrong to the empire? In the Battle of Fulu, if he hadn't destroyed the two Grand Duke's ships first, and defended Baicheng behind, how could we have won the battle so smoothly. In this way Treating heroes, I'm afraid it will make people chill."
Eunuch Liu was silent for a long time, and then said after a long time: "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different. These eight characters were passed down from the Taizu, and they are the ancestor's precepts. Today, after thousands of years, how should I evaluate it? I am not an old slave. Can be commented on. That person is acting in Yonglu at this time, and there is nothing that can be criticized. Among other things, just taking in so many werewolves, the word "cracking the soil and self-reliance" has been confirmed. In the opinion of the old slave , perhaps it may be more appropriate to only consider how to solve the crisis of Sosa at the moment."
"Eunuch is right. It's just that Suo Safei is an ordinary person, but how should he deal with it?"
Eunuch Liu said slowly: "After much deliberation, the only heavenly kings who can make a move in the court are the old prince and Qingyang king. Neither of them are suitable."
Empress Li smiled bitterly, "It would be embarrassing for King Qingyang to find this matter."
"For the current plan, it seems that only the old slave will go there for the empress."
Li Hou lowered his eyes and said, "My father-in-law thinks, what should we do if we ignore it?"
"No!" Li Kuanglan blurted out next to him.
Empress Li glared at her and said, "There is no place for you to talk here."
Empress Li has accumulated power for a long time, Li Kuanglan really dare not say more.
Eunuch Liu said: "Your Majesty probably knows about that faction's plan, do you still think you can bring that person back?"
Empress Li sighed, and said: "I just came to find my father-in-law because I knew their plan. Even if I can't pull that person back, I can't push him to the opposite side. If there is no old prince among them, I will doubt their intentions."
Eunuch Liu thought for a while and said, "There is a way, it might work."
"Eunuch, please speak."
"There is a treasure in the palace. It was a spear made by the number one master craftsman in the empire during the reign of Emperor Wu. It was called Longquan. That master craftsman's heart was as high as the sky, and he wanted to make a new famous spear. , but the result was a lack of merit. Longquan still couldn't bear the shocking force of the Martial Ancestor, and was damaged after a big battle. But the body of the gun was still intact. The old slave heard that the man had a weapon named Burial Heart The quality of the gun barrel is comparable to that of famous guns. If Longquan is added, the power should directly point to the top ten famous guns. With this artifact in hand, even if you encounter Sosa, you can do it one or two."
"Longquan? I haven't even heard of it."
"Your Majesty is only focused on the technique of heavenly secrets. There are too many sundries in the warehouse of the emperor's palace, and Longquan is already a piece of scrap iron. How can it fall into your eyes?"
Li Kuanglan was a little curious, "Why didn't the Martial Ancestor use the Emperor?"
"The human emperor's power is scattered but not gathered. He is good at killing enemies in battle, but he is not very useful in the battle of kings. Martial ancestors have a stubborn temperament, and he has the power to destroy the world with one strike. To him, the emperor is nothing It’s too weak. Therefore, craftsmen from all over the world were summoned to make famous guns, so Longquan was born. However, the material of Longquan is still inferior, not as indestructible as famous guns.”
After this explanation, Li Kuanglan understood.
But Empress Li still had doubts, and pondered: "If it's the warehouse, I can get it out, but how to send it there, and how to install it?"
It is not easy to piece together two different force guns. Especially the masterpieces of Burial Heart and Longquan, which are only one line away from the top ten famous guns, cannot be operated by non-genuine famous craftsmen. As long as there is a slight difference, the power will drop sharply.
Eunuch Liu said calmly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. This matter was brought up by the old slave. Of course, the old slave has to go."
Empress Li stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Eunuch."
Yonglu, the city of blue waves.
Qianye returned to the Grand Duke's Mansion again, summoned the generals, and learned about the information during this period and the progress of the war in Yonglu. What Qianye didn't expect was that the coalition forces of the aristocratic family were making extremely rapid progress. They had penetrated more than 200 kilometers into the burning fire territory, captured several big cities in succession, and wiped out more than 200,000 burning fire werewolves.
The werewolf heavy infantry took over the drudgery of hand-to-hand combat, and the elite private army of the family took advantage of firepower and equipment to the extreme. Even the cargo ships were equipped with anti-ground guns. In every battle, the burning werewolves had not yet rushed to the front line , will be wiped out by layers of firepower.
In front of this army armed to the teeth, the charge of the Burning Werewolf showed no courage at all, and some were just records of being slaughtered one by one.
The disastrous defeat on the frontal battlefield made the Duke of Burning Fire furious, and he couldn't help but want to fight the Duke of Galewind several times. Duke Huofeng's old injury has not healed, and he is in a weak stage, so he is not willing to really fight with the burning fire.
Fortunately, after William conquered the Gale Leader last time, he ordered someone to send several pieces of military equipment treasured by the peaks, including a long and short sword, and a set of armor that can strengthen speed and defense. With these, Duke Huofeng's combat power increased greatly, and he confronted Liaohuo several times, but in the end Lianhuo didn't dare to really do it.
But now the fire is almost pushed to the limit. At this time, fighting on two fronts is not a good thing.
After Qianye thought about it, he immediately ordered a large-scale construction and renovation of the border fort within the blast territory, and then hoarded heavy troops for defense here. At the same time, they withdrew the aristocratic coalition forces that had penetrated into the Burning Fire Territory, and prepared to enter the new world to fight after reorganization. The Duke of Wind was also secretly recalled.
Give an order, and the representatives of the various families are delighted instead. Although it is a pity to spit out the territory they have already acquired, they can finally enter the new world, the legendary place full of gold and treasures. And this also means that the aristocratic family has finally been recognized and accepted by Qianye, and can participate in his most core battle.
From the beginning to the end, Qianye was not easy. Reentering the new world, he will have a head-to-head confrontation with Sosa to see how powerful this legendary Lord of Mosar is.
