Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

"what happened?"

"I have doubted you. Sometimes I doubt your strength, sometimes I doubt your character - of course, I have never doubted your vision, your vision has always been good. But Karin's trust in you is Unconditionally, even if the current decision is contrary to her own work, she will choose to prioritize your tasks instead of her own. Perhaps, from a certain perspective, this is trust between you and Karin. Is the favorability level already full?”

"Maybe." Shangluo shook his head, "But, at least for now, this is not bad. I think Karin will find her future sooner or later - not just for other reasons, but I think, Karin Sooner or later, Lin will find her own path. This path may be walking alone, or it may be going around me, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that she is really making her own choice now. It’s also a choice.”

"Then, I contacted Alexander for you and said that you promised him to call back Karin. You will also hand over the forbidden book to him personally."

Chapter 796: Top spot

Rarely, Zhu Xianfen held an impromptu meeting with Jinshendian. All nine cabinet ministers were present, including six from the six departments in the north and south, and three from the Jiuqing Yamen.

Jiuqing Yamen is a general name. Their common feature is that unlike the two sets of six departments, Jiuqing Yamen only has one set. The "nine ministers" who can enter the cabinet change from time to time, but three of them have not changed.

The first is Weiwei. This position has lasted from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the present. It is responsible for commanding the imperial guards of the emperor. Currently, it is actually the "Minister of Guards in charge of royal robes". As long as someone holds this position and the person who holds it is still conscious, he will definitely Entering the cabinet - this is normal for other positions, but for Jin Yiwei it is "hard to say".

The second is the Minister of Honglu Temple. This position has grown with the continuous consolidation of the tribute world. He is responsible for reviewing the governance of the tribute world from the perspective of the entire court, rather than the six ministries. Although the minister of Honglu Temple did not join the cabinet this term, usually one of the ministers of Honglu Temple will join the cabinet in turn in the two cabinets.

The third is Dali Temple. Dali Temple is currently in the cabinet because this dynasty - that is, the Shaoping Dynasty - accumulated a large number of ethically difficult cases before this year's autumn ruling, especially the case of "father murdering son".

Considering the impact on the whole world, it must be handled by the Dali Temple in the cabinet, because the unique function of the Dali Temple is to issue the "Annual Collection of Legal Orders and Interpretations Bylaws" every year, which is a judicial interpretation. This is extremely important because unlike Rome, administration and justice have been united here since ancient times.

There are three joint courts at the top, and there are county magistrates and governors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate system on the front line, etc. Although the legal provisions are there, if Dali Temple does not interpret the law based on typical cases, no matter how specific it is, or the three halls will review it, there will be no way to deal with the vast number of laws and regulations that have existed for hundreds of years.

The last seat vacated in this cabinet belongs to Wen Yuan's grandfather Wen Zhong. He is the imperial wine minister and minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, a position that is not traditionally important. But now it is a "subject to change" situation. This position is almost a permanent cabinet seat in this dynasty, because the position is created for people after all. When the person's opinion is very important, it doesn't matter what title he wears.

Everyone is here, everyone is here. This temporary meeting, attended by all the cabinet, was for Zhu Xianfen to get an idea of ​​what was going to happen next. The meeting place was in Zhu Xianfen's office.

"Then, gentlemen, please browse through these materials first."

Lu Huaiyang walked out with a pile of paper, and Wen Yuan followed behind with another pile. Time was tight, and I didn't even have time to staple it, so I had to staple it with a stapler, one for each person. Lu Huaiyang came from the left, and Wen Yuan came from the right, handing out the gifts to the nine elders in sequence.

It was also the first time for Wen Yuan to attend such a scene. It was not his turn to do this odd job. It was really because all the people who could fight had gone to raid New Antioch, so it was his turn to do the odd job here.

Wenzhong happened to be sitting on the right. When he took the manuscript from his grandson's hand, he kept staring at him - although Wen Yuan followed the rules and etiquette requirements and did not raise his head to look up at the venerable, but Wen Zhong looked at his grandson meaningfully. grandson.

"Mr. Qian, the virtuous man has now made his mark."

"Why? It's not the right time for him to be virtuous. It's not the time for him to show off."

He looked at Lu Huaiyang next to him and asked him with his eyes why he pushed his grandson to the front line at this time. It's not a question, just a question, because before everyone in Jinyiwei is dead, it is not his turn to be a junior like him.

"Hey, gentlemen, please turn to the first page and let me explain the current situation. Just 2 hours and 32 minutes ago, a total of 397 people from the Jin Yiwei selection vanguard and other divisions were dispatched, 98 of whom raided Rome. In the city of New Antioch, the capital of the Governor-General of Colombia, 20 action groups have completed the occupation of the airport, TV stations, docks and bridges, and the resistance in the city has been suppressed. If you have anything to ask, don't hesitate to ask. The general is here today."

"Hu~~" As soon as Lu Huaiyang stopped talking, the sound of dozing off could no longer be suppressed.

Huang Yuanjing, the Minister of Internal Affairs and General of the Eastern Defense, dozed off in his chair. He was even rarer than Zhu Xianxun's attendance at meetings; five of the other eight cabinet ministers had never seen him before. Although he was awake, he seemed neither.

"What's the matter? I'm awake." He squinted his eyes and hung his head to the side, claiming that he was awake, but the snoring still didn't stop.

Several people who had never seen him were shocked by this scene. Wen Zhong explained: "Everyone, he has been like this for many years."

"We have also heard the name of the General. We have seen his great achievements in capturing the thieves and shocking the island barbarians more or less from reference materials. Mr. Wen Ge, what happened to the General now?"

"Because of sleepiness." Wen Zhong replied, "The general was hit by sleepiness six years ago, and he hasn't woken up since then. He spent 6% of the time sleeping, and he woke up erratically. But he wasn't You don’t know anything when you’re asleep.”

"It's uncomfortable to be half asleep and half awake like this." Huang Yuanjing shook his head vigorously, took the spiritual liquid sencha handed over by Lu Huaiyang and took a big gulp, "Xiao Lu."

"Here, here." Lu Huaiyang took the teacup back and stood beside him with his hands hanging down.

"Don't let me sit in the high chair. My wheelchair will be pushed here in a moment. If I can't hold it anymore, just push me back. If I fall asleep in this high chair, you can't lift me." After drinking. A big cup of tea made him feel much better, but his expression was still as peaceful as a cat lying on the floor heater.

"Now?"

"Wait a minute. I'll finish the matter before the tea rush subsides." Holding the back of his chair, he stood up and glanced at the report placed next to him. Then I turned to the second page and the third page. I just glanced at each page and turned it over.

"I've made progress." He closed the report. "I remember that when we carried out raid missions, we often required dozens of people to act at the same time. Now we only need a team of 5 people to cover up front and back to complete the same mission as before. ”

"Because recently, spiritual energy technology has made leaps and bounds. We have put Jusu weapons into actual combat, and now an Iron Man of Jin Yiwei can hit the killing target of an artillery battalion at close range. Jusu weapons are simply indestructible, so. "

"Can you fight ghosts?" Huang Yuanjing asked directly.

"can."

"Good. No matter how you fight against barbarians, you can't kill ghosts and monsters without a weapon at hand."

Chapter 797 Ready to go

Lu Huaiyang further explained: "The Torch Weapon has a very good universality. It can kill everything from flesh to light armor, heavy armor, and even spirits, including many mountain spirits and monsters commonly seen in Rome. You have seen the spirit part of Wen Yuan, he shot it out with a gun."

While the old man was awake, he did not forget to introduce his apprentice.

"Wen Yuan? Wen. Wen Yan?" He looked at Wen Yuan and remembered the past, "They look really similar. I remember he was this tall when he was a child."

"Yes, he is Wen Yan's son."

"Is Wen Zhong here?"

Later Wen Zhong touched his sleeve.

"Hey, old boy, you're not dead yet. I thought I wouldn't be able to see you when I woke up."

"I won't die even if you die."

"I'm going to stay awake after all my work is over, and I want to have a drink after all. Now, I still have things to do." He looked at the side, "Everyone, many of you are already strangers. I hope that after getting to know you today, I can Work with you for a long time, soon, after all, the one has arrived.”

He thought about it for a moment: "Speaking of it, I haven't seen him for so long. What level of cultivation has Qilinzi reached now?"

"The foundation has been successfully established." Lu Huaiyang replied, "But his education has not been officially started yet. He is too busy."

"Qilinzi has good luck, and it's normal to be busy. It's just that this time he was sent to such a dangerous place. I can't say the reason." He and Lu Huaiyang looked at each other. Although they haven't communicated like this for a long time, both parties have understood each other's tacit meanings.

This cannot be said, it is the intention of the higher-ups. The song "Fighting Yan Song" has resonated in the ears of the two of them: I advise the naughty boy to stop crying and avoid making sad noises. Master Zou is the avenger of You. Standing on the golden steps to observe with your eyes, Jia is sitting on it.

The two of them stopped at this step in time without even thinking. Because that old man is really petty.

"I know it." Huang Yuanjing rubbed his temples. The energy of the cup of tea just now has begun to fade, a slight feeling of fatigue has come over me, and the sleepiness like a gangrene on the bones has crept up my back again, and is about to occupy the high ground.

"Everyone." He held the back of his chair, "If you can trust me, you can leave it to me to decide today's matter. I will just have an interview with the emperor. Because it may involve some things that are not convenient for you to hear, please. Please avoid it.”

"It should, it should." All the elders nodded. At their position, although they occasionally feel surprised that "there are secrets that even I cannot know", each of them also knows that in addition to the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty also has another "heaven".

It's not that everything in heaven is more important than the imperial court, but the secrets of heaven are often not open to the imperial court, and the same is true here. For example, what is the national oil production target this year? This is an absolute top secret, but even Shangluo has no way or position to inquire about this.

"Then, please wait a moment."

He knocked on the door and walked into Zhu Xianwen's office.

"General Huang? Are you awake? You haven't slept yet, okay? There are such big bags under your eyes."

"You wait for me to sleep well, and you won't be able to wait until the year of the monkey."

"General, you seem to be looking young again?"

"Sleeping is indeed a way to beautify your skin. Heavenly beings are free from dirt, and their hair becomes smoother and smoother day by day when sleeping. What do you think of Qilinzi's body?"

"It seems quite convenient for getting up early. You know my schedule, most people can't stand it. But he can often come to accompany me and help me light the stove in the morning when no one else can get up."

"You two, are you on good terms?"

"I don't have a younger brother. I really hope to have a younger brother like him." Zhu Xianfen sighed, "It's a pity that my younger brother didn't wait, and he was forced to have a younger sister."

"Can the Queen Mother still give birth at such an old age?"

"Hey, it's not. It's. Forget it, I can't explain it in a short time. You know, there is a real dragon raised in Taiye Pond that is related to our family. Now that Miss Dragon King is my righteous Sister."

"Is there a dragon? It's okay, it's okay. With the help of the divine dragon, and if the heaven and earth are in harmony, it can be done."

"General Huang, do you think this can be done?"

"Whether it can be done or not is not up to me, but up to you. The power of Taiyi Jinhua and the Great Harmony of Heaven and Earth has exceeded everything I can see. I said that it is the 'match between heaven and earth'. Hongwu Nian said this It was a bluff at that time. But if it really happened, it would be true that even the mountains and the vast seas that existed since ancient times would change their colors in order to save Qilinzi. ,this is necessary."

He looked at Zhu Xianxian and said: "If you want to consult the cabinet for advice, then I will unify the opinions of the big guys outside - this matter can be done, and it must be done."

"But General Huang, I actually feel that this matter seems a bit strange. Why did this matter come to Shangluo? Why did Daozu and the heavenly masters allow him to go? I didn't notice it at first, but now it seems that this matter is better than I thought. It’s even more dangerous.”

When he was about to continue speaking, Huang Yuanjing looked into his eyes and just shook his head silently.

"Ah, that's right. Daozu must have his reasons for doing this. Isn't it just hurting Shangluo a little by tossing him like this?"

Huang Yuanjing was still shaking his head: "Our time is running out. I don't know the true meaning of the higher-ups, but I know that this matter is not only his chance, but also the court's. Whether he can become a powerful person in the world in one battle depends on this. One shot."

"Isn't it enough that we directly suppressed Neo Antioch?"

"That's because the garrison of New Antioch cannot enter the city. The main reason is this." Huang Yuanjing explained, "I was outside just now. It's hard for me to explain. In fact, the Roman rule is that the legion does not enter the city, except for the police. There is nothing else. It is more than enough for the Jin Yiwei to suppress the police in a city. If it is really the Roman army in the city, that is the kind of competition I really want to see. "

“So that’s how it is”

"But the rest is not important. I flipped through the report, and it seems that this is the afterglow of the setting sun in Rome. Rome will never have a chance to compete with us again - after the unity of heaven and earth is detonated, even if those Romans are pregnant Any doubts will become reasonable immediately.”

"I have already sent the Dragon Ball and Water Dragon respectively. I am just waiting for the order from here to set off."

"Dragon Ball? This may be fate. Don't send it by plane. Isn't there a watery Dragon King here? Just let her carry the Dragon Ball. But don't let him go by himself. He has to find a supervisor. I think Wen Yuan It’s pretty good.”

"Wen Yuan? Why him? This is very dangerous, he is still a child."

"That's enough for the kids. Everything is ready. This is just a spring outing for the kids. Let's light the firecrackers. It's just right for the kids to come."

Chapter 798 Candidates

"Then, let Wen Yuan come in."

When Wen Yuan came in, he was still holding an extra stack of documents. He thought Zhu Xianfen also wanted to read a copy, so he put the document on Zhu Xianfen's desk first.

He looked at the two people in the room, Zhu Xianfen and Huang Yuanjing, and found that they were all looking at him, as if he was an extra person in the room.

"Ah, then if there's nothing else, I'll go out first?" As he said that, he backed up and started to walk out.

"Come back, come back." Zhu Xianfen waved to him and called Wen Yuan, who was looking at a loss, to come to him again.

"I said, Wen Yuan, you have been working in Jinyiwei for quite a long time, right?"

"I have only been an intern for 8 months."

"Eh? Then why do I always think you are so skilled?"

"Your Majesty, our family has the rank of Jinyiwei, so I hang out here when I'm not here for internship."

"Well, no wonder you seem very reliable. Do you have any plans for the future?"

"I plan to finish military college like other students from the military base and then serve in the military. Our family needs someone to take over the military service."

Huben service, the type of service that represents "regular soldiers" in military service, corresponds to the service of apprentices, which represents auxiliary forces. Although the heavenly soldiers and generals of the King's Division can easily suppress the armed forces of any country, even the major cities of Rome, the King's Division is almost "demilitarized" in general and objective terms. The war has been pushed far away from the lives of ordinary people, and the military is actually not very willing to accept the choice of ordinary people to join the army.

Therefore, there is the difference between Huben and Disciples. This difference originated from the Huben and Disciples in the Zhou Dynasty. They originally meant the aristocratic warrior corps composed of Chinese people and the auxiliary troops from mixed sources. Unprepared, half the people went to join the army and had to serve as slaves. As the name suggests, apprentices will not be put into frontal battlefields. They are generally engaged in logistics work or become technical arms such as communications corps. The regular soldiers of the Wang Division are all composed of Huben soldiers who have received at least more than ten years of military training since childhood - the kind who are 25 years old and require 20 years of service.

In fact, not only military service, but also craftsman service is similar. Professionals like Shangluo who came from a teaching school and received precision manufacturing training since childhood would not be able to touch the edge of the craftsmanship field at all.

The system is quite closed in nature. The requirements for personnel quality are so high that ordinary people simply cannot enter. However, since the entire society is in a relaxed atmosphere, even if you don't want to be a king who destroys heaven and earth, or a craftsman with incredible craftsmanship, it's not a big problem to do other jobs.

"As soon as I saw it, I thought our lives might be in jeopardy right now."

"Ah?" Wen Yuan asked in surprise, "Did I make any mistake?"

"No, it's none of your business." Zhu Xianxen shook his head, "It would be better to say that our society can cultivate outstanding young people like you, who have mastered luxurious knowledge at such a young age. Let you be able to cope with the turbulent tide of the times at this age. Some people often think that the third generation of ancient times is the best morning light, but I think we are no worse than the third generation of ancient times. At least no one knew how to use a walkie-talkie in the ancient times. Call for close air support."

"That's true." Wen Yuan nodded, "My score in this course is quite high. Sometimes I think I can call the air force to solve the battle just by using a walkie-talkie."

"In that case." Zhu Xianfen paused, "I won't treat you like a child. I will still ask for your opinion, because this job is very critical. If you don't want to, I won't treat you as a child." You push it up."

"What is it?"

"You're good at calling in air support, right? You have a high score?"

"I scored an A in this subject. And I've practiced it a few times before when I was on a mission because of the Shangluo incident."

"Very good." Zhu Xianxun reached into the drawer and took out a small notebook. "This is the code book for [Heaven and Earth are One]. Take it."

"???" Wen Yuan was stunned, "Isn't this a doomsday weapon?"

"Yes. Because you are very good at it, I decided to let you guide the launch of [Heaven and Earth Harmony]."

"No. Should I really do such an important thing?"

"If you don't do it, others will do it. This is the truth. After all, it will be recorded in history. Personally guiding the super weapon that destroys the world to come to the world is enough to leave a mark on the historical scale. When the time comes to compile the history of the country, you will definitely be a part of it.”

"Then I'll go! I'll go! And this is Shangluo's business. I'm his friend. I'll go regardless of circumstances or reasons."

"Are you still his friend?" Huang Yuanjing next to him asked, "That's just right. I'm sure Shangluo will feel relieved if I leave this job in your hands. After all, Monkey Sun also likes to move in with those he knows well. . Sun Houhou is very familiar with Nezha, and he called him many times along the way, because Nezha can trust him when doing things. You have to lead the heavenly soldiers to rescue Qilinzi, and this responsibility is very important. "
