Mirror of the Sky

Buge is the honorary title of the seven chief officials of the household, criminal, soldier, labor, official, ritual, and agricultural ministries of the Zhang Kingdom. Among them, there is only one person named Li, who was born in a maritime slave trader. After being suppressed, he surrendered and donated money in time. On the contrary, he was appreciated by Zhang Huansheng, and finally was sealed by the Minister of Punishment step by step.

Originally, only Sen Xuanji was summoned, but unexpectedly he entered the palace with others, Zhang Huansheng frowned, but said warmly in his mouth: "Mr. Sen is the chief minister under Gu's command, and so is Li Shangshu. How can the members of the country make them wait, please come up soon."

"Yes." The female official hurried back after hearing the words, and after a while, another healthy woman led Sen Xuanji and Li Shuimiao into the Selfless Palace.

Although Zhang Guo implemented the county system under the sole control of the monarch, the political system was mixed with a very strong Yanhuang ancient system and ancient rituals.

For example, Sen Xuanji, the head of ministers, is generally honored as "Zicheng", which means that the prime minister or prime minister in the county system replaces the monarch to regulate yin and yang, but the actual official title is called "zhengqing" according to ancient etiquette.

Moreover, 100% of Zhang's time was spent on cultivation and travel. Although he was in charge of the country alone, he highly respected the ancient 'Sacred Emperor's system, and ministers and ministers shepherd the people'. He never treats his subjects as slaves and servants like other kings with sole power, but treats them with courtesy.

Therefore, in this newly built government hall, although the throne is prominent and dignified, ministers and ministers do not need to stand carefully to meet, and there is still a comfortable soft couch to sit cross-section, but it is not as spacious and comfortable as Zhang Huansheng's throne.

Sen Zhengqing and Li Shuimiao entered the hall, and after saluting, they took their seats according to their grades.

Sen Xuanji adjusted his crown and said, "Your Majesty these days are fine, when you ordered the envoys in the palace to call the old ministers to see him, Li Shangshu happened to visit my mansion once in nine years.

Seeing that I didn't even care a few words to see off the guest, I immediately guessed that His Highness was back, and I must follow the old minister to see you. "

Zhang Huansheng was relieved when he heard the words, Chao Sen Xuanji smiled and said, "There is no Jiazi in the mountains. Although it is a little lonely to practice, it is not a problem if you are used to it, but it is Duke Xuan who has worked **** the state affairs for me. It's hard work." Then his eyes turned to Li Shuimiao, "Why is Li Tianguan still so tired, so reliant on following Duke Xuan to see me?"

Different from Sen Xuanji, who won the respect of Zhang Huansheng with his resolute character Zhou Zheng and his outstanding political management ability, Li Shuimiao can hold a high position. First, he is indeed a partial talent for sinful matters such as punishment and secret exploration;

The second is that although he usually looks dignified and dignified in front of his peers and subordinates, he has a very thick-skinned face when serving the king, and can show all kinds of servant faces to show his loyalty.

Seeing Zhang Xuansheng's questioning, he immediately replied respectfully: "This minister is determined to follow Duke Xuan for an audience, one is because I have not seen the face of the king for a long time, and I miss him very much; "

"It's about the safety of the country," Zhang Yuansheng was stunned for a moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he said softly, "Although you are tired, you are not a person who speaks eloquently, let's talk about it?"

Li Shuimiao's expression was straight, and he said with consideration, "I have spread secret spies in the country in the name of the great king.

Last night, a spy who was in the business of medicinal herbs reported that he and his subordinates encountered a typhoon while collecting herbs in the barren mountains and ridges more than ten days ago. A savage who wears bark and animal skins.

Although they spoke the same language, the savages were extremely cruel. They started to fight indiscriminately after speaking within a few words of each other. In the end, there were nearly 20 herbalists with unique skills, and only the spy leader was lucky enough to escape alive. .

After I knew about this, I thought it was a big deal, so I went to visit Xuangong early this morning to get an idea..."

Hearing this, Sen Xuanji showed a dignified expression on his face, and suddenly interjected: "Last night, the commander of the flying dragon cavalry and the general of the left, Mo Da, sent a general named Liu Yangmin to see him with the edict given by the king. Old minister, it is also said that the flying dragon cavalry met a savage while patrolling the border."

After Zhang Huansheng's cultivation had suddenly increased to the peak of the human rank by chance more than a year ago, the area occupied by the Yuanshen also increased to a huge area of ​​1,270 miles.

The shape of the giant island where Zhang Guo is located is like a giant python. It is short from north to south and long from east to west. It is entrenched on the chaotic ocean. The short distance is only a thousand miles. .

Under such circumstances, there are barbarians hidden in the vast wilderness in the east and west of the island. It may be surprising to hear it suddenly, but it is not surprising to think about it.

And if those island barbarians are just ruthless and blood-drinking people with a ferocious nature, for the increasingly powerful Zhang Guo, at most, they will choose the trouble of ringworm, but if they have their own unique civilization, political power and cultivation system like the barbarians in the woods, then It is the confidant enemy that may lead to Zhang Guo's downfall.

Like Sen Xuanji and Li Shuimiao, they figured out the joints as soon as they learned of the incident. Zhang Huansheng frowned deeply for a moment, and asked blankly, "Xuangong, did General Mo's urgent report mention those savages? How's the force?"

"A team patrolling the side, fifteen flying dragon riders, encountered more than a hundred savages," Sen Xuanji replied in a deep voice: "After all the kills, one person died, two were seriously injured, and four were lightly injured."

"The strength of the broken-hearted flying dragon cavalry is not inferior to the ghost face and beast of Chu, the copper chariot and the forest of spears of Jin." This kind of battle report is a big victory to anyone who hears it. But his face changed slightly: "The enemy who killed eight times more casualties than half, seems to have won a big victory, but the savages actually encountered are already a first-class strong army."

Sen Xuanji looked at Zhang Huansheng and nodded, said solemnly: "Not only that, what is even more terrifying is that according to the flying dragon cavalry who challenged the battle, those savages attacked like a tide from beginning to end, and most of them were killed, and only the remaining The next three or two still dare to charge, not afraid of death, like crazy."

"Hi..." Zhang Huansheng's face suddenly became more gloomy, and he asked thoughtfully, "Can General Mo go to find out where those savages come from after the war?"

"Those savages seem to occasionally commit crimes, and the place where they live is not in the Pure Land," Sen Xuanji replied: "There is not enough medicine in the army to resolve the chaotic miasma, and this matter is a serious matter, so General Mo did not act rashly."

Zhang Huansheng thought about it for a while, and his face showed a look of determination, "If that's the case, let's go to the side and see for yourself.

Xuan Gong tried to prepare as many elixir as possible before noon, and brought it with him when he arrived alone. "

"Yes." Sen Xuanji replied respectfully, and then retreated casually. After that, Li Shuimiao, who was left alone, flattered Zhang Huansheng for a while, flattered enough, showed his loyalty, and left.
