Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 540 How Can I Become the Prime Minister?

After the burial of Mr. Xiao, who was famous throughout the world, the Wu Kingdom finally got back on track.

Some major events left over from the Battle of Wudu - the execution of the King of Xiliang, the surrender of all sects within the territory of Wu State, and the burial of Prime Minister Xiao - have basically been settled.

All that remained was to pacify some rebellious princes, but that was not a big problem.

Now some generals have led the Wu army to pacify the situation, and there will be news soon.

It was not even the turn of the Wu court to take action personally. In order to leave a good impression on Emperor Wu and let him know that they were obedient, some vassal kings personally led their troops to meet the rebels.

With the blessing of such powerful luck of Wu State, all marches will be very smooth. It can be said that wherever they go, there will be spring flowers blooming.

Above the Way of Heaven, there must be mysterious laws that will allow the Wu Kingdom’s army to win this time.

Whether it is morale or various aspects, it will be the best conditions.

And those rebels are likely to encounter natural disasters or man-made disasters as they travel.

Or maybe there is some plague running rampant in the army, and the combat effectiveness will be reduced to half before the war even starts.

For example, there was an army led by King Chen. At the beginning, this army was indeed very powerful.

However, after marching only two or three thousand miles, various problems arose in the army, such as diarrhea and plague.

For example, as they were walking, they found that it was winter and the river was covered with thick ice, so thick that even a chariot could be pulled across.

When everyone had completed the survey and were preparing to cross the river, the river surface suddenly collapsed.

The soldiers fell into the river and before they could get up, several monsters appeared below and were ready to make a move.

Many soldiers fled from the army and betrayed King Chen.

Not long ago, King Chen's head had been chopped off and sent to the court of Wu State.

So no one really cared about suppressing the rebellion.

What Wu State needs to do next is to keep moving forward.

And the current Wu Kingdom will never stop.

The laws of change are limited to the territory of Wu State.

And this "within the territory of Wu State" is actually a concept.

What is "within the territory of Wu State"?
It does not mean all the land where Wu State is now.

It refers to all the land "under the rule" of the Wu State.

Any place ruled by the Wu State was considered the territory of the Wu State.

Anyone who steps into the land covered by the Wu Kingdom's luck must abide by the laws of the Wu Kingdom.

And the laws of the Wu State are now the rules of heaven!

But would other dynasties, other sects, be willing to see an unusual existence like the Wu Kingdom?
No, this is not possible.

Let’s not talk about those dynasties.

For other sects in the world, Wu State is an existence that must disappear.

The Wu State has set a precedent, a very bad one!
This was the first time that Wu State made an exception! And it was a big exception!
For the first time, a secular dynasty of the human race truly surpassed the immortals of the sect!
Although even if other dynasties wanted to imitate, it would basically be impossible, because not all dynasties can produce a Confucian sage cultivator, and it is even more impossible that this Confucian sage cultivator would spare no expense for the sake of the people of the world.

But no matter what, as long as the Wu State is on that side, it is like a bright flag.

As long as Wu was on that side, when other dynasties encountered something, the first thing they thought of was the Confucian saint who was famous all over the world. He was an emperor who was crazy to the core.

It was that young dynasty with overwhelming fortune!

It is because of this that no matter what, even if those dynasties did not want to be the enemy of Wu State, they actually did not want to be the enemy of Wu State because they were annoyed by the torture of some sects in their territory.

But those immortal cultivation sects won’t care about these things.

They will try every possible means to stir up trouble between dynasties and try to destroy the Wu Kingdom.

If the Wu State stopped, only destruction would await it, and it would be swallowed up bit by bit.

Then, Mr. Xiao died in vain.

The Wu State had to keep moving forward and annexing dynasties one after another, making it more and more powerful while also spreading its luck to more places, and even making the whole world "the king's land"!
Everyone knows that the Wu State is going to fight many wars.

Fortunately, the people of Wu State are martial. Such a large territory as Wu State was not gained through peace, but through fighting.

Fortunately, the Wu Kingdom is now in a strong state of fortune. With the strong fortune of the Wu Kingdom, there will surely be good weather and good harvests every year, and there will be more and more children born in the Wu Kingdom.

Those monks from the sects who have lost touch with production and only know how to suck blood, as long as the Wu Kingdom has a need, all of them must come down and exorcise demons and join the army.

Unless you don't want to live anymore.

However, there does need to be a certain balance between warfare and domestic stability in the State of Wu.

This requires Emperor Wu to use the remaining life span to set the tone and find a way out.

And when Emperor Wu was setting the tone, he needed someone to assist him. This person must be loyal to the Wu State and care about the people!
This person must be someone familiar to Emperor Wu and someone he can trust.

The most important thing is that this person must be capable!
So on the seventh day after Mr. Xiao was buried, Emperor Wu announced the recommendation letters from former Prime Minister Xiao Mochen and former Prime Minister Fang Ling to the world, expressing who he thought was the most suitable candidate for prime minister.

This person is the third young master of the Xu family—Xu Pangda.

Soon, the news spread throughout the entire Wu State from top to bottom.

For the vast majority of Wu State people, they had never even heard of Xu Pangda's name, and they were wondering who this person was.
And when they realized that Xu Pangda was just a young man, everyone in Wu State began to doubt it in their hearts.

Can a young man who is only in his twenties really serve as the prime minister of the State of Wu?

Looking at the human dynasty, is there such a young prime minister?

If this person hadn’t been the runner-up at the time.

If this person wasn’t Xu Ming’s brother.

If this person had not been recommended by Prime Minister Xiao and Prime Minister Fang.

I don’t know how many people in the court will submit a memorial, asking the Emperor Wu to reconsider.

And under these layers of identities, especially with the recommendation of Prime Minister Xiao, both the ministers and the common people waited and watched.

"Fifth brother, I can't do this!"

When Xu Pangda heard that he was recommended as prime minister, he was also shocked. He quickly found Xu Ming and held Xu Ming's big hand tightly.

How could I be recommended as prime minister?

How can I become the prime minister?
