Great Liangzhen Fusi, starting as the villain

"I live up to everyone's expectations, the master of the demon country, I am willing to form an alliance."

In the hall, when Qi Ping slammed out these words with a thin handkerchief in his hand, the whole hall was silent at first.

Immediately, there was a commotion.

Ally!

This matter has been put on hold since the beginning of the year. With the coup d'état and the empire in shambles, no one expected the covenant to remain the same.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Yao Nation is either going south in a big way at this moment, or it is up for grabs, and there is absolutely no possibility of forming an alliance.

Of course, it was not without intention, just like the one three months ago, but they were all rejected at that time.

Now that the empire is unified, there is no need to cede territory and seek alliances.

Therefore, Baiguan immediately realized that this covenant should be roughly "equal".

Sure enough, next, Qi Ping roughly read several key clauses in the covenant.

Although it is not comparable to the "Old Covenant",... the cost of forming an alliance is indeed "small" unexpectedly.

Liangguo offered to open more trade routes and reduce tariffs on trade, while Yaoguo promised not to start a war within a time limit.

The contract of heaven can be witnessed.

Although it has not been officially signed, the seal of Bai Zun's spiritual consciousness is clearly visible.

"Wow."

The whole hall couldn't hide the noise, He Shangshu was stunned, and looked at Qiping in disbelief, with only one thought in his mind:

How did he do it?

You know, Emperor Jing has been promoting the alliance for the past six months, but there has been no progress, but now, Qi Ping has done it.

"Wu Kangbo, is this...is this true?!" an official asked excitedly.

Qi Ping said with a smile: "Your Highness, all the important officials know about this matter, so there is no way it could be false."

Zhu Qing looked over, and sure enough, he saw a smile on the prince's face on the dragon chair:

"The matter of forming an alliance depends entirely on Wu Kangbo's promotion. This palace has already confirmed with Bai Zun."

Golden mouth and jade words.

Immediately, the tense and tense atmosphere in the hall suddenly eased, and all the ministers were overjoyed. After Qi Ping had a private discussion with Bai Zun the day before yesterday, he discussed with the crown prince and several important officials in private.

It was kept secret, so most of the officials of the "Northern Liang Clan" didn't know about it, and they were all overjoyed when they heard the news.

The last one who formed an alliance with Yao Nation was Emperor Taizu. This time, it was the female crown prince's turn.

Such achievements are enough to leave a name in history. Immediately, the faces of the nobles of the clan were stiff, and they didn't know what to be happy or worried about.

Qi Ping looked at King Jin and said lightly:

"I would like to ask King Jin, are these achievements enough? Or, among the clan's children, which one can achieve this?"

"..." King Jin was at a loss for words and couldn't answer.

Qi Ping smiled and said loudly:

"The demon kingdom covenant was signed, and the pressure on the defense line in the northern border dropped sharply. I have already inquired about it. Before Jing Long was assassinated, the imperial court had a headache. Military affairs, this is one."

People's eyes lit up.

There is no strong commander in western Xinjiang. This is indeed something that Chen Jing is worried about. For this reason, he even made preparations for the imperial conquest before his death.

Why?

It's not that he likes to play, it's largely because no one is available.

But Grand Duke Mighty is the only suitable candidate, whether it is status, experience, ability to command battles, or prestige in the army, he is the only candidate.

If you can go to the western border, your chances of winning will increase greatly.

Qi Ping continued:

"Besides, I know that before Jing Long's death, he said that Taoist and Zen sects would send masters to join the battle, but they were assassinated before they could go out... In the past two days, I have met with both sects, and both Taoist and Zen sects are willing to contribute. , the masters of the two factions will go to the battlefield together. This is the second."

Yesterday, Qi Ping visited Jingjue Temple and met Zen Zong alone. The two tacitly did not mention the past grievances, but only talked about benefits.

The Sixth Patriarch was eager to preach, and Qi Ping pinched the opponent's life, and finally obtained a certain degree of help from the Zen sect at the cost of allowing the opponent to preach in Yuezhou and Wanzhou after the war.

This result is not perfect, but it is on the line that both sides can barely accept.

The art of politics is to compromise, to exchange compromise for common interests, so as to achieve greater goals.

When he walked out of Jingjue Temple, Qi Ping let out a long sigh, only to feel a big stone fall to the ground.

At this moment, he smiled unabated, and took out a list from his arms:

"Jinglong usurped the throne, the clan, and hundreds of officials followed...these big crimes should be punished by the three clans, and many people attacked each other and framed betrayal...all of them were recorded in this booklet. I wanted to kill them all, after all , these people can betray the first emperor, can betray Jing Long, can betray His Highness..."

His tone was very light, but as soon as these words came out, countless officials present were terrified and felt cold sweat.

I shouted in my heart: Come, come.

This is what they are most afraid of. After the fall, when the prince returns to the throne, how can they not kill a group of people to establish their prestige?

At this moment, many ministers trembled with unspeakable fear, and lowered their heads to avoid Qi Ping's sharp gaze.

In the deathly silence, Qi Ping looked around at the crowd, but smiled lightly, breathing out flames from his hands, burning the roster to ashes.

With stunned eyes, Zhu Qing said:

"However, Your Highness is kind, and I hope that the past will not be blamed. Today, this roster is burned. The past sins will be written off and will not be pursued."

He Shangshu suddenly raised his head and stared at him, as if he understood something in his heart.

The old man who has been in the ups and downs of his career for most of his life admired in his heart:

Great!

His Majesty Jinkou Yuyan said that today's action is not only to reassure these officials, but also to reassure countless officials and generals in the major state capitals, garrison guards and guards.

At the same time, the officials on the scene were also pulled into the chariot:

If you support the crown prince, everyone will live in peace.

If you don't support...or if you allow the clan to make trouble, the prince will not be able to succeed to the throne, and the promise just now will naturally be insignificant.

Then, will Qi Ping, the god of plague, arrest people according to the roster?

Most of the people present were fine, and they quickly heard the implication. Immediately, some officials bowed down to the prince:

"Your Majesty is benevolent, and I will die in return for your kindness!"

Bah... smelly and shameless... the officials cursed secretly, but they were very honest. They knelt down one after another to thank them, and many people changed their names.

Loud.

Seeing this, Zhang Jianzhi looked in admiration. They had repeatedly discussed whether to kill chickens to warn monkeys or amnesty the world.

The result of the discussion is the latter. After all, these ministers are not guilty of death, and the so-called fools are also surrendered to the Chen royal family.

At the time of employing people, maintaining stability comes first.

The female prince is just about to draw a line with the brutal and bloodthirsty Chen Jing, showing a "generous and benevolent" demeanor.

But Qi Ping suggested that it is possible to operate a wave, first release the rumors, prepare to kill a wave of power, scare these officials, and then buy people's hearts in public.

Looking at it now... the effect is outstanding.

"You...you..."

At this time, the entire Xungui Group was extremely embarrassed, and King Jin's lips trembled even more, obviously extremely angry.

Suddenly, his slightly sharp voice sounded:

"Female emperor, it's not in line with etiquette, even if you talk sweetly, we won't agree!"

"That's right, the extravagant hype can't change the etiquette!" A county king echoed.

The nobles came back to their senses and expressed their opinions one after another, only biting the word "ritual law" to death, and did not give an inch.

Seeing this, the smile on Qi Ping's face disappeared. He sighed softly, walked up to King Jin step by step, and said calmly:

"I think you may not understand."

With indifferent eyes, he said:

"Today's convening of the Grand Court Conference is not to ask for your opinions, but to 'inform'. Therefore, whether you agree or not, the outcome cannot be changed."

King Jin widened his eyes, raised his right hand, pointed at Qiping, and was furious:

"What did you say?"

Qiping stared at him, mocking slightly:

"I didn't hear clearly, okay, then let me repeat, you, and you... really think that no one would dare to kill you because of the noble name? Chen Jing's surname is Chen, but I don't."

King Jin's pupils shrank suddenly, and at this moment, Qi Ping was close to him, and his right hand was pressed on his shoulder, and a strong killing intent enveloped everyone.

The "magic" character talisman was activated, and Xungui saw countless corpses and blood appearing behind Qi Ping.

The unspeakable fear overwhelmed them, making them breathless, pale and sweating.

They finally realized...the person in front of them was really going to kill them...

"You...you dare..."

King Jin's face was pale, as if aware of the loss of life.

He finally understood why those people looked at him strangely before.

The script he imagined was that a group of distant uncles bullied the orphans and widows, but he ignored that a lion stood beside the "orphans and widows".

"Duke Huai is here!"

When the sword was on the verge of breaking out, suddenly, a eunuch shouted outside the hall.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw three figures moving from far to near in the golden sunlight on the square paved with white jade.

One was actually a white-haired octogenarian wearing a boa robe and leaning on a dragon crutch. He was the most prestigious "King Huai" in the Xungui Group.

One is the eldest princess Yongning who wears a long skirt and looks bookish.

One, was actually wearing a long gown, with a rosy face and gray temples, Mr. Yun.

"Lord Huai, why are you here?"

"His Royal Highness..."

"Teacher, this is..."

Zhu Qing was shocked and didn't know the situation.

The eldest princess rarely breaks into the court.

Tai Tuo "retired" many years earlier.

Although Duke Huai had a very high reputation, he rarely showed up many years ago.

Someone with a keen mind, aware of something, looked at Jin Yi who was threatening King Jin, but saw that Qi Ping had withdrawn his hand, as if the blatant threat just now had never happened.

Yong Ning said loudly: "The Grand Tutor came here at the invitation of His Highness, as for Duke Huai...my lord, please tell me."

She looked at the white-haired old man, and saw Duke Huai leaning on a panlong crutch, and sighed softly, then looked at the nobles of the clan, hating him for not fighting:

"The face of the clan is completely lost by you!"

Jin Wang and others bowed their heads, not daring to refute.

He only heard Duke Huai yelling furiously, but his tone was actually aimed at the prince, scolding Prince Jin and others for being obsessed with ghosts and disregarding the overall situation, and finally looked at the prince Loli who had stepped down from the dragon chair and greeted him.

The crown prince respectfully said: "Prince Huai..."

Duke Huai waved his hands, let out a long sigh, and bowed his head respectfully: "Your Highness... Please also take over the throne for the sake of the people of the world."

A hammer is fixed.

The eldest princess quietly cast a smug look at Qi Ping, as if saying:

I am very good.

This was the result of her two days of lobbying, and she finally invited the old prince to come forward. Of course, being able to invite the other party was not because Duke Huai didn't care about etiquette.

Rather... First, Duke Huai is not interested in fighting for power.

Second, she seriously described Qi Ping's fearfulness and her determination to kill the clan to establish her prestige. Rather than saying that Duke Huai came to support the prince, it was better to say that he came to rescue the honorable clan.

... Qi Ping was a little helpless, and said in his heart: Yes, yes, you are amazing.

Sure enough, seeing the old prince come forward, Qi Ping had already been frightened out of his wits. Seeing that the nobles who had lost their fortunes went down the slope, they no longer had the fighting spirit to go forward.

Although King Jin was unwilling, how could he dare to speak after he had just wandered through the gate of hell?

In the end, a group of nobles left angrily and left the venue early.

……

When a group of people walked out of the imperial city along the Meridian Gate, no one spoke, they were all like eggplants beaten by frost.

They planned for a long time, but all their plans were shattered in front of that young man.

"My lord, is that all?"

Outside the imperial city, a county king looked at King Jin and couldn't help asking.

King Jin glared at him, but he didn't answer directly, but said bitterly:

"Let's discuss later."

After all, he took the lead and got back into the carriage. After leaving the Golden Luan Hall, he finally got rid of the shadow brought by Qi Ping, and couldn't help secretly hating himself for losing his composure just now.

"How dare he kill people? It's clearly a conspiracy, deliberately intimidated, and then arranged for King Huai to be a peacemaker." King Jin sat in the carriage angrily, only to realize later.

Realized that I had hit a trick.

I can't help feeling angry, thinking about how to fight again, even if I can't stop it, I still have to win enough benefits...

But at this time, a gust of wind blew, and the curtain of the carriage was raised, and the fifty-year-old King Jin suddenly covered his mouth and coughed.

He was coughing hard, his face was flushed, as if he had caught a cold.

I just felt chills all over my body and my mind was dizzy.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped outside the "Prince Jin's Mansion".

The servant at the door eagerly greeted him, took out the small stool, and placed it where he got off the car.

"My lord? My lord?"

Calling softly, a shriveled hand full of age spots tremblingly opened the curtain of the car, and then, King Jin walked out with his extremely tired body supported.

"what!"

The two servants exclaimed, and their faces changed greatly: "My lord...how...how..."

King Jin was at a loss, opened his particularly dim old eyes, and asked hoarsely:

"My lord...why..."

Jia Ding looked at the "King of Jin" who seemed to be 30 or 90 years old, with a bent body, white beard and hair, and wrinkled face, like the "King of Jin" who was [-] or [-] years old.

Not long after, the shrill and terrified screams of the King of Jin came from the mansion of the King of Jin.

……

On the other side, on the Golden Luan Hall, the Great Court Meeting is still going on.

Without Xungui's obstruction, the next thing went very smoothly. Zhu Qing quickly finalized the enthronement matter, everything was kept simple, but it would take some time.

But it only takes time.

Next, there is another important event, that is, the appointment of officials from the new court.

Prince Loli sat on the dragon chair, announcing the appointment lists of the cabinet and major yamen one by one.

"Appointment, the official Zhang Jian was restored to his original post, and he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and the chief assistant of the cabinet..."

Dressed in a crimson robe, Zhang Jianzhi, who was much thinner, cupped his hands: "Chen, thank you."

"Appointment, Taifu Yunji is the editor-in-chief of the Kyoto Press and newspaper..."

After ten years, Yun Ji, who returned to the temple glowing and glowing, smiled and said, "Thank you, sir."

"Appointment, the former censor Li Qi is appointed as the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"Appointment, Grand Master Song Jiuling resumed his post and took charge of the Imperial Academy..."

"appoint……"

"appoint……"

The appointments were issued one by one, and in the main hall, the officials received the rewards one by one.

Finally, on Prince Loli's gentle and delicate face, his eyes fell on a certain name on the booklet, he paused slightly, raised his head, looked down, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"Appointed, Earl of Wukang, the dean of the academy, the former town governor Qianhu, Donggong lecturer Qi Ping, the post of town governor, and..."

After a pause, the prince read out the last line:

"Governor Grand Master."
