Holy Demon Peak, in the Ancient Bronze Palace.
Xie Wuji sat high on the purple gold throne, his eyes were majestic, he glanced at the eight people below, and said loudly, "Lonely Baitian obeys the order."
"My subordinates are here." A complex light flashed in the depths of Lonely Baitian's eyes. He should have been the leader of the sect, but Xie Wuji was too hidden. Now, the situation has been decided, and he can only surrender, otherwise Xie Wuji will definitely find a reason to kill him.
Seeing Lonely Baitian, who was his equal before, calling himself a subordinate in front of him, Xie Wuji felt extremely happy, but the expression on his face was extremely serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Our Holy Sect is the one who overthrew the Dayun Kingdom and replaced it. The goal of past generations, now, I order you to integrate the Holy Sect's soldiers and horses, and use this as a foundation to form an army of eight million within half a year in order to achieve great things.
If you complete the mission, this sect will make you the Grand Marshal of the Holy Sect. If you fail the mission, don’t blame this sect for dealing with you according to the sect’s rules! "
"Yes! I obey my orders!"
Lonely Baitian's face was filled with joy. He originally thought that Xie Wuji would take the opportunity to suppress him, but he didn't expect that he would be given such a great job.
As long as he can form an army of eight million within half a year and become the Grand Marshal of the Holy Sect, he will be inferior to one person and above millions of people in the Holy Sect. For a while, he even had so many feelings for Xie Wuji in his heart. Very grateful.
Xie Wuji has a profound understanding of the ways of human beings. Although he is already the leader of the Holy Sect, if the following eight sect leaders do not cooperate, he will be just an empty shell. Therefore, what he has to do now is to try his best to win over them. This is the so-called combination of kindness and power.
"Luo Shuilian obeys the order!"
Xie Wuji's eyes fell on the charming and charming Luo Shuilian again, a hint of greed flashed deep in his eyes, and soon disappeared.
Luo Shuilian was extremely beautiful, especially since she was practicing the unique charm skills of the Mei Sect. Even though Xie Wuji was already an emperor-level warrior, it was difficult to resist her temptation. He had an idea of taking her as his own, but he knew , this woman is a beautiful snake, not so easy to tame, so she forcibly suppresses the thoughts that are about to move in her heart.
"My subordinate is here!" Luo Shuilian heard this and also stepped forward to salute.
"Sect Master Luo, most of the disciples of your sect are beautiful and handsome, and Li Li is a vigorous young man. This sect gives you a task. Within half a year, you must send a disciple of the Charming Sect into the palace and confuse Li Li. Li, do the internal work for my holy sect!"
Luo Shui Lian smiled sweetly, "In order for my Holy Sect to succeed, the slave family decided to send Shang Keyue, who is second only to me in the Charm Sect, to complete the task. She has practiced the "Tian Mei Bao Canon" to the eighth level, and this woman's appearance He is handsome and has an exquisite and clear mind. I believe he will be able to enchant Li Li. "
"Ha ha!"
Xie Wuji laughed loudly. He also heard Shang Keyue's name, and knew that Luo Shuilian did not lie. It was just a pity that such a beauty took advantage of Yan Li in vain. However, he immediately thought that if he could overthrow Dayun Kingdom, With him as the emperor, the beauties in the world are not at his mercy, so he couldn't help but feel happy, "Well, we will wait for the good news from Sect Master Luo!"
… …
Dayun Kingdom, Imperial City.
In the palace study.
After Yan Li abandoned his left and right sides, he looked at the serious-looking Fan Dongliu, secretly guessing what was going on that deserved his caution.
"Dongliu, there are no outsiders here, just tell me!"
"yes!"
Fan Dongliu nodded and said with a particularly solemn expression, "According to the news from the spies who broke into the Demon Sect, the nine sect leaders of the Demon Sect are competing for the position of the sect leader in the Holy Demon Mountain.
Finally, Xie Wuji, the leader of the evil sect, became the new sect leader. Moreover, this person's cultivation level has reached the imperial realm. The demon sects have been independent for many years. The emergence of a new sect leader will definitely integrate all the forces of the demon sect and pose a greater threat to the empire. Moreover, recently, the leader of the Demon Sect Tianzong is secretly recruiting troops! "
Hearing this, Yan Li's face suddenly turned gloomy. The Holy Sect can be said to be the biggest cancer in the Great Cloud Kingdom. If they are not eliminated and they explode, the entire empire will be severely damaged, and even the Great Qin Kingdom will be severely damaged. , the Great Zhou Kingdom had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
There was silence for a while.
Yan Li felt that the time was almost here and it was time to implement the plan against the Holy Sect, so he gave Fan Dongliu some instructions in a low voice, which made the other party's eyes widen and he nodded.
A few days later.
Dayun Daily published a piece of news about the Demon Sect. A total of 366 wealthy families across the country were wiped out by the Demon Sect.
The empire hereby calls on all citizens of the country to unite to fight against the Demon Sect.
In addition, the empire officially provided a series of incentives. Anyone who could provide information about the demon sect's thieves and proved to be effective would be rewarded with an official reward of one hundred taels of gold.
Kill a disciple of the Demon Sect, and your identity will still be confirmed, and you will be rewarded with one thousand taels of gold.
Because Dayun Daily has branches in more than 2,000 counties and cities, within three days, this news spread throughout the empire. In order to obtain huge rewards, everyone who knew the information about the children of the Demon Sect surrendered to the official.
The officials who got the news did not dare to neglect, and quickly organized military forces to destroy the Demon Sect stronghold.
In just one month, thousands of strongholds of various sizes were wiped out, and the children of the Demon Sect became like rats on the street, and everyone shouted for beatings.
However, the Demon Sect disciples are not foolhardy. After wiping out multiple strongholds, some of the Demon Sect disciples wanted to avenge their brothers, relatives, and friends.
Crazy revenge was launched against the citizens who tipped off the news. Fortunately, Jin Yiwei's strength now spreads all over the country. They dispatched in time, saved many citizens, and killed some of the demon sect's children.
At the same time, the empire will provide generous comfort payments and a series of tax reduction policies to all messengers who are killed by the Demon Sect's children.
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. The empire not only bought people's hearts, but also made the image of the Demon Sect disciples in the hearts of the people worse and worse.
In other words, Yan Li is from the earth and will never underestimate the power of the people. To destroy the Demon Sect, he must mobilize the people with all his strength and make them hate the Demon Sect so much that they cannot survive.
If the Demon Sect wants to rebel, they can only recruit troops from the people. As long as their reputation is bad, who will serve as soldiers for the Demon Sect? As for the initial tragedy of exterminating the demons, Yan Li ordered Fan Dongliu to do it secretly.
As for those whose families were wiped out, they were not really wiped out, but were quietly placed elsewhere by the Jinyiwei. Because they were given considerable settlement fees, these wealthy families were willing to change their surnames.
In addition to blaming the Demon Sect, Yan Li also fully mobilized the energy of public opinion to completely smear the Demon Sect. Every day, the Dayun Daily would publish some stories of people being harmed by the Demon Sect, and further publicized that the children of the Demon Sect were extremely evil. disciples.
Although this would make Yan Li feel a little despicable, he had no choice. If he didn't do this, once a civil war broke out, any war would be calculated in hundreds of thousands.
What's more, in his previous life, the Holy Sect swept through half of the Dayun Empire, causing unimaginable losses to the empire. It was for this reason that he had to stop the Holy Sect at all costs.
Of course, the effect of this is also obvious. Almost all the people in the country have planned the Demon Sect to be a cult. Therefore, Lonely Baitian, who secretly recruits soldiers, is extremely distressed. After a month, he has recruited less than 100 soldiers. Ten thousand people are far from the total number of eight million.
In this regard, he could only be anxious and angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Finally, in desperation, the Holy Sect had to order all the strongholds to be moved underground, and became extremely low-key, and asked the Holy Sect's disciples not to reveal their identities outside the home.
After three months of vigorous movement, those officials who colluded with the Demon Sect were on tenterhooks every day, but they had already joined the pirate ship and could not retreat even if they wanted to.
Originally, it was difficult for Yan Li to touch these officials, but now, the reputation of the Demon Sect has become extremely bad. Therefore, the frightening Jin Yiwei took action again and arrested all the thousands of officials who had colluded with the Demon Sect. Get up, there is another official earthquake.
It is worth mentioning that the Great Examination of the World was successfully concluded, and one thousand Jinshi with both ability and political integrity were successfully selected.
Thousands of Jinshi will enter the palace collectively tomorrow to see the emperor's grandson.
Yan Li put down the memorial and couldn't help but smile. The result of this great test was beyond his expectation. The thousands of Jinshi were all rare talents, especially the top three, who were extraordinary in literature, Taoism and martial arts.
This major exam not only directly selects a thousand talents for the empire, but also selects tens of thousands of backup talents for the empire.
The second day.
The newly promoted Jinshi came to the palace to pay homage. Yan Li encouraged him and specially summoned the top three Jinshi to the imperial study room to give instructions. The top candidate in this exam was called Fang Zhongshu. Not only was his literary talent extraordinary, his cultivation also reached a secret level.
The second place on the list is Wan Shuimiao, who is also a warrior in the secret realm. Tanhua is called Li Sheng, whose cultivation is not weak, and is also a warrior in the secret realm.
On the third day after receiving this group of Jinshi, official documents were sent to all the Jinshi, allowing them to take office.
Such big news naturally had to be widely reported in newspapers.
With this report, the people felt that their opportunity had come, because all the first Jinshi scholars were given positions of real power, especially the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 prize were all awarded to county-level officials. It could be said that they reached the sky in one step.
"Meet Grandpa Huang."
Yan Li prostrated himself on the ground and saluted Li Cheng, the current Emperor of Dayun.
Li Chengyun looked kindly and said with a smile, "Li'er, you didn't let me down. You did better than me. I put the empire in your hands, and the emperor is relieved!"
Although Li Chengyun asked Yan Li to supervise the country, he has always paid attention to Yan Li. During the period when he was supervising the country, he not only founded a newspaper and established a royal guard, but also promoted the great examination of the world that affected the overall situation of the world. Therefore, he was very satisfied.
"Your Majesty, you are so grateful. My grandson just did what he should do!" Yan Li said modestly.
"You have done what you should do!" Li Chengyun's eyes lit up and he praised loudly, "Li'er, tomorrow, I will announce to the ministers that in ten days, I will officially abdicate and you will succeed me!"
"Ah!" Yan Li couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, but then panicked and said, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson hasn't done a good enough job. Please postpone your abdication."
Li Chengyun shook his head, "It's not necessary. Now, the empire is almost completely under your control. If Grandpa Huang occupies this position again, you will inevitably be unable to let go. Grandpa Huang will give you a word today, let go of your hands and feet. Who can If I dare to stop you, I will show no mercy!"
"Yes! My grandson will obey Grandpa Huang's teachings!"
On the second day after Yan Li met Li Chengyun, Dayun Daily published the important news that Li Chengyun was about to abdicate and Yan Li would take over the throne.
