Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 143 Establishment of Expert Factory

When the news of the battle between Lingmeng and Chumeng came out, all the prefectures in Lingzhou and even the states were moved by it!
Chu Junyan actually broke through the Dharma Venerable Realm!
Under the siege of two Dharma Venerables in the mid-term, they can still kill one?
And as the first venerable to fall since the chaos of the Dayu Dynasty!
In Danzhou Prince Xuan's mansion, King Xuan, who had already been tainted with iron and blood, was sitting on the main seat with sharp eyes.

Recently, Xuan's many heroes and generals have defeated the forces gathered in Danzhou. He has already won nine of the twelve prefectures in Danzhou, and the other forces can only hide in the last three prefectures.

As for Chu Junyan beheading a venerable, his eyes fluctuated for a while, but he didn't pay much attention.

Danzhou is adjacent to three states, Qingzhou, Zhaozhou and Yanzhou.

Among them, the most powerful force in Qingzhou is the Zhou family of Queen Mother and Concubine Xuan. They must fully support King Xuan, and King Xuan has already received the support of most forces in Qingzhou, helping King Xuan to contain the forces in Yanzhou.

Therefore, King Xuan now only needs to deal with the big forces in Danzhou and the hermit family.

"Xingyu, what's going on in the Zhenguo Mansion?"

Lu Xingyu, the most trusted counselor of Fangfang King Xuan, lowered his head and said solemnly:

"Your Highness, the enemy army has contacted the Zhen Guo Mansion many times, but there is no movement from the Zhen Guo Mansion. It seems that they are still integrating Zhaozhou."

"Still integrating Zhaozhou?"

King Xuan's eyes were calm, and he looked down at the civil servants and generals and asked:

"What do you think Chu Junxiong wants to do?"

I saw another literati counselor stood up and said:

"Your Highness, I think that Chu Junxiong will probably attack us in a decisive battle and defeat us in one fell swoop."

An imposing general said:
"Now these forces in Danzhou are no longer our opponents. They want to seek the cooperation of the Zhen Guofu, but the Zhen Guo Fu seems to disagree."

"Hmph, how could the Zhen Guofu agree, cooperation is tantamount to putting Danzhou and other forces in the same position, the forces that have been beaten by us, the idea of ​​the Zhen Guofu should be to recruit them!"

"That's right, the Zhen Guofu is ambitious, and it is impossible to cooperate with the Dan forces. The end of the destruction of these forces in Danzhou is already doomed. The Zhen Guofu is preparing to subdue them at the last moment, and then invade Danzhou, killing two birds with one stone!"

"We can't let the Zhen Guofu sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

"Then what shall we do?"

"What else can I do, directly suppress them with great momentum, and find an opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop!"

"It's impossible for the forces in Danzhou not to know what the Zhen Guofu thinks. I don't believe that they are not angry with Chu Junxiong. Since the Zhen Guofu wants to recruit them, why can't we? We can also secretly recruit one or two forces!"

"Using them as our internal response, we can quickly solve Danzhou before the Zhenguo government has time to react, and then integrate Danzhou to confront the Zhenguo government at the border!"

The counselors and generals under King Xuan began to talk one after another, while King Xuan quietly listened to their exchange. When he heard these words, King Xuan's eyes shone brightly.

They exchanged glances with Lu Xingyu below, and nodded slightly.

This plan is feasible, but it still requires precise calculations, and the premise is that we must control Danzhou.

I have secretly recruited several forces, some of which will take refuge in me openly, and some of the forces that surrendered secretly can follow other forces to join the Zhen Guofu...

Liangzhou, Prince Yu's Mansion.

When Yu Wang in white heard about the situation in Lingzhou, his face was still calm. He was not in the mood to pay attention to Lingzhou in the distance.

The two major forces in Liangzhou and the three hermit families joined forces to deal with King Yu.

Yangzhou was in civil strife, and King Yu's power in Yangzhou was also restrained.

"Your Highness, a letter from Yangzhou, they have agreed to submit to His Highness."

A counselor walked quickly, with faint excitement in his eyes, Yangzhou could finally be resolved.

"Tell them not to worry, and continue to let the civil strife in Yangzhou continue!"

King Yu poured a cup of tea slowly, and handed it to the counselor himself, saying something meaningful.

The counselor's eyes moved, he took the teacup respectfully and said:
"I understand!"

………………

In Yizhou, on a high-rise city wall, King Ming was wearing a lavender gold cloak. The strong wind with a slight smell of blood was blowing, and the cloak was bulging. The tall and mighty figure of King Ming stood still.

Behind him was a heroic young general standing quietly behind King Ming.

"Worriless, Fang Shiyuan, the son of Fang Wukui, successfully broke through the Heaven Martial Realm in the battle with the young master of Zhongyi Hall, surnamed Cheng, and he was seriously injured in the second battle. Is there any pressure?"

King Ming's tone was slightly joking.

Ji Wuyou, the son of Ji Wushuang, one of Dayu's ten famous generals, has now attached himself to King Ming.

The gale was so strong that Ji Wuyou's face hurt a little, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit:

"His Royal Highness, please give me a chance!"

"Three days later, the forces in Yangzhou will send their younger generations to come this time. I will give you the time and place, and you will lead the Zheng family to kill them!"

"Yes!"

After Ji Wuyou took the order, he retreated slowly.

Soon a thin figure slowly approached King Ming.

"Cough cough!"

A cough made King Ming turn around quickly, and looked at Su Qingxian who was pale. King Ming frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes, untied the cloak on his body and quickly put it on Su Qingxian.

"Qingxian, it's windy on the tower, you shouldn't be coming up."

Su Qingxian shrank back, feeling the warmth brought by the cloak, and his heart was warm.

"Your Highness, the wind is fine."

King Ming patted him on the shoulder, and the killing intent in his heart was almost overflowing.

Su Qingxian is poisoned!

And it is unknowingly poisoned!

"Your Highness, Ruochen's guess is right, the situation in Lingzhou is about to be decided."

Seeing the murderous intent on King Ming's face, Su Qingxian's heart was bitter enough to cover the pain in his body. He knew that these forces were powerful, but he was still unable to guard against them, and was still tricked.

This is a highly poisonous poison, and there is no cure for it. King Ming is now looking everywhere for famous doctors and holy medicines for healing, but it is just delaying time.

"Do you think the fifth child will lose?"

Hearing this, King Ming frowned even deeper, and moved a step to the left, the tall and majestic figure just blocked the strong wind blowing.

Su Qingxian tightened the cloak that was fluttering slightly on his body, shook his head with a heavy face and said:
"I can't see clearly. The King of Chu and Chu Junyan both want to eliminate all the forces in Lingzhou at once. Chu Junyan is not simple, and the King of Chu is also not simple. It depends on how they use each other."

King Ming thought that Lingzhou was about to win, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes, and he said:
"When the situation in Lingzhou becomes clear, can we unify Yizhou?"

Seeing King Ming's impatient expression, Su Qingxian could only comfort him with a wry smile:
"Your Highness, there is no rush to unify Yizhou. Although the big forces in Yangzhou and Fengzhou have teamed up to send people to deal with us, solving the people they sent is not enough to cause these forces to suffer heavy losses. We still need to lure them to send more Come come the mighty and the great army."

"Now that Yizhou is under our control, they will die as many as they come!
It is too troublesome to deal with one by one, and we are prone to suffer losses in the battlefields they are familiar with. If we can solve the main force of these forces in Yizhou, it will be much easier for us to attack Yangzhou and Fengzhou.

Your Highness, King Xuan and King Yu all have the same idea, to lure those ambitious forces to their home court. "

"Do we need to intervene in Lingzhou?"

"No, Your Highness, if we intervene in Lingzhou, they can easily guess that we still have more energy, which will cause a lot of trouble for our future plans, ahem..."

"You said, will the fifth child die?"

"Cough...cough, I don't know!"

Howling wind...

………………

In the Imperial Palace of Kyoto, the new emperor has been changed, and all the eunuchs and maids have been changed again. However, because Li Yao became the emperor not long ago, coupled with the situation when Li Yao ascended the throne, there are not many concubines, let alone a queen. , and the ministers did not persuade.

In the early morning, Li Yao, crowned like jade, was wearing a dragon suit and sitting on a dragon chair on the main hall, listening to the ministers report on the situation of the states in the Dayu Dynasty. Dozens and hundreds of officials filled the main hall, but only a few spoke. Just a few people.

Li Yao stared coldly at the officials who supported King Ming, King Xuan, and King Yu.

When it comes to the discussion of the Three Kings, the supporters of these parties will have a lot of discussions, and they all unite to ask Li Yao to allocate money and food immediately!

There is no mention of sending troops!
Ha ha!

And the six important ministers either bowed their heads in silence in the morning, or stood there silently with their eyes squinted, as if they were asleep. Although they were very respectful on the surface when they asked them, they didn't take themselves seriously in their hearts.

Li Yao suppressed the anger deep in his heart, looked at the officials below with a calm expression as usual and asked, "What else can you do?"

When the officials heard this, they didn't move at all. Most of the officials looked at the prime minister and the Taiwei who were leading in front of them.

Seeing another anger rising in his eyes, Li Yao clenched his fist hidden in the dragon embroidery, calmed down the anger in his heart, stood up and said:

"If you have nothing to play, you'll be here today, retreat!"

Seeing Li Yao get up and leave, all the officials bowed respectfully.

After Li Yao strode back to the imperial study room, his hidden anger was revealed without any concealment, and he smashed the memorial on the desk to the ground!

Bang!
The guard outside the imperial study room heard Li Yao's angry sound of smashing things again, his body shrunk, as if he couldn't hear anything.

"Is the emperor angry again?"

At this time, the tall and straight sixth prince Li Heng walked outside the door of the imperial study. Hearing voices from inside the imperial study, he asked a white-faced, beardless chief eunuch with a particularly feminine aura waiting respectfully in front of the door.

When the surrounding eunuchs saw Li Heng questioning the new Chief Eunuch Liu Jin, they quickly lowered their heads.

Director Li, who once followed His Majesty Yuhuang, has gone to guard the tomb with the empress and a large number of concubines.

This Liu Jin was recognized by His Majesty Yaohuang in a short period of time and became his personal manager.

Seeing Li Heng's arrival, Liu Jin quickly showed a hint of joy, and said:

"Hengwang, you are here, go and persuade His Majesty."

Liu Jin looked into the imperial study with a worried expression.

"Okay, you go and report to the emperor, just say I'm here."

Seeing the worried look on Liu Jin's face, Li Heng's eyes flashed a bright light.

Liu Jin cautiously approached the door of the imperial study, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, King Heng please see me!"

Immediately, the chaotic voices from the imperial study room disappeared, and after a while, Li Yao's deep voice finally sounded from the imperial study room:
"Bring him in!"

Liu Jin gently opened the door of the imperial study room, and made an invitation to King Heng:

"His Royal Highness please!"

Heng Wang tidied up his neat clothes and stepped into the royal study.

Liu Jin followed closely behind and closed the door smoothly.

Li Heng looked at Li Yao sitting on the dragon chair. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed that the desk was still a little messy, and then he saluted Li Yao:
"My brother pays homage to Your Majesty!"

"Sixth brother, you don't need to be too polite."

Li Yao got up with a smile and came to Li Heng to help him up.

Ever since Li Yao ascended the throne, Li Heng had appeared in front of Li Yao, helping him with advice and gaining Li Yao's trust.

"Sixth brother, sit down."

Li Yao nodded slightly to the respectful Liu Jin, this is the eunuch he dug out.

The eunuch who was found in the palace a few days after he ascended the throne was well-organized and well-founded, which convinced the eunuchs. In addition, Li Yao asked the former Director Li specifically, and Director Li also said that Liu Jin was a talented person. , available!

Therefore, Li Yao was very relieved of Liu Jin and put him by his side, no matter what Li Yao told him to do, he would be able to solve it perfectly.

"How did the emperor win over the neutral ministers?"

Hearing Li Heng's words, Li Yao's originally subdued anger rose again.

During this period of time, Li Yao has been constantly pulling in the relationship with the ministers, trying to subdue some important ministers who remain neutral, so that he can gradually gain control of the court. However, how could those important ministers not know what was going on? Anyway, what did Li Yao say? What, but when Li Yao showed his intentions, they always changed the topic by their sloppy words, Li Yao was so angry that he couldn't express it.

"Hey, these ministers are still testing me."

Li Heng's eyes moved, he understood Li Yao's meaning, and then smiled and said: "Brother Huang, these ministers all know the situation of the Dayu Dynasty, so they are all waiting to see Brother Huang, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as Brother Huang gets a heavyweight If you support them, they will slowly turn to His Highness!"

"Oh? Sixth brother, is there a way?"

Li Yao asked in surprise.

"Brother, Lu Xun, Minister of Rites, has a daughter named Lu Qingyan. This daughter is a well-known talented woman in the capital, and she is Lu Xun's most beloved daughter. Your Majesty, you are now an unmarried concubine..."

"As long as the emperor's imperial decree is announced to the world, even Lu Xun has to agree to the temptation of the position of imperial concubine. If he does not agree, he will resist the decree. At that time, the emperor's brother can also make an example and deter the court!"

Li Yao understood Li Heng's meaning, but hesitated:
"I understand what the sixth brother thinks, but why should I choose Lu Xun's daughter instead of Prime Minister Lin's daughter? I remember that he has a very beloved little daughter, and I can make her my queen!"

Li Heng's eyes moved, but he lowered his head and said:

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lin is the head of all officials, and his prestige is too great. If His Majesty uses this method to force the Prime Minister, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. We can only do it slowly."

Li Yao looked at Li Heng who bowed his head, a gleam flashed in his eyes, he suddenly laughed and said:
"Haha, the sixth brother still has the heart, it's because I'm too anxious."

Seeing that Li Yao agreed, Li Heng smiled respectfully and said, "Blessings, my brother, wait for Lu Xun to join us, and my brother will win the court just around the corner!"

"Haha, the sixth brother is smarter!"

"Brother Huang, in addition to winning over ministers, I think we also need to have means to deter and suppress all officials!"

"Oh? Sixth brother, do you have any suggestions?" Li Yao looked at Li Heng in surprise.

Li Heng glanced at Li Yao, and respectfully said: "The main reason why we subdued the ministers was because we didn't have enough information about them. Brother Huang needs to control the hidden guards as soon as possible!"

"Dark guard!"

Li Yao frowned tightly. The intelligence organization Shadow Guard established by Emperor Yu, but this Shadow Guard has been collecting the situation of the powers in various states as the main purpose. Although it also collects information from hundreds of officials, it is not the focus. Moreover, the Three Kings seemed to have obtained Emperor Yu's acquiescence, and they had inserted many people into the hidden guards long ago, so he couldn't believe the situation of the hidden guards at all.

Li Yao met Li Heng's expectant gaze, and sighed, "Sixth Brother, I don't know. Some of the hidden guards secretly acted secretly, and the information was seriously delayed. I am helpless. It will take a long time to integrate the hidden guards."

"The situation of the dark guard is so serious?"

Li Heng frowned.

Li Yao sighed and nodded.

After being silent for a while, Li Heng suddenly said:

"Since the hidden guards have already made the emperor suspect, why doesn't the emperor establish a special organization to monitor all officials!"

"Establish an institution yourself?"

Li Yao fell into deep thought, and Li Heng glanced at Liu Jin who was standing respectfully behind Li Yao from the corner of his eye, and continued:
"That's right, Brother Emperor, now that the capital is extremely chaotic, if we want to firmly control the imperial court, we must re-establish an institution.

But now only the people in the palace can convince the emperor, why not train the eunuchs in the palace, let the eunuchs in the palace establish an organization, such an organization must be very loyal to the emperor, and no one can infiltrate it! "

Li Yao's expression was shocked, and he stared at Li Heng with piercing eyes, yes, why didn't he think of it.

If I train a group of eunuchs in the palace to establish an intelligence agency, they must be very loyal to me, and I am very relieved.

Even if this organization expands in the future, the high-level people must be eunuchs in the palace, and they will be firmly in their own hands.

It can easily spy on intelligence, monitor hundreds of officials, and even deter them.

Li Yao excitedly stood up and walked towards Li Heng, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sixth brother, your suggestion is very good, it can be regarded as a great help to me!"

"It's a blessing for my younger brother to be able to advise the emperor."

"Who do you think this institution will be established by?"

"I don't know about this, brother. The emperor needs to decide for himself, but this person must be an eunuch in the palace, and this eunuch must be loyal to the emperor, and must be capable and cunning!"

Li Heng bowed his head respectfully.

Hearing Li Heng's answer, Li Yao unconsciously looked at the respectful Liu Jin.

"Then sixth brother, how should we act?"

Next, after Li Yao and Li Heng continued to discuss how to establish this institution and plans to win over and suppress some ministers, Li Yao sent Li Heng out of the palace contentedly.

As dusk fell, the setting sun shone on Li Yao's figure, Li Yao's eyes full of ambition seemed like a young king gradually waking up!

Back in the imperial study, Li Yao stared at Liu Jin who was waiting respectfully at the desk.

"Liu Jin!"

"The servant is here."

Li Yao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Liu Jin with eyes full of appreciation.

"You heard the conversation between me and King Heng just now!"

"How about I plan to let you establish this intelligence agency to monitor hundreds of officials!"

Liu Jin opened his eyes slightly, looked at Li Yao in shock, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you mustn't do it. The servants are not capable enough, I'm afraid they will ruin your good deeds!"

"Haha, if even you can't do it in the palace, who else can do it?" Seeing Liu Jin's loyalty, Li Yao became more certain of his decision.

"Okay, I have decided that you will establish this intelligence agency. I will provide you with all the exercises, treasures and medicinal materials. Your task is to establish this intelligence agency. I want any official to say something in the mansion that day. I need to know everything!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! This servant will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations!" Liu Jin looked at Li Yao with a moved face, her tone full of determination.

Li Yao was very satisfied with Liu Jin, and continued to buy people's hearts:
"Very well, since you established and presided over this institution, I will leave it to you to pick up the name."

Sure enough, Liu Jin showed a sincere expression at the right time.

"Your Majesty, since such an intelligence agency was established by the eunuchs in the palace, why not call it the Expert Factory!"

"Expert Factory"

"Good name, I agree!"
