Chapter 374: Lobbying_1
Then, he took another half sip and closed his eyes to taste it. After that, he took a big gulp and slammed the glass on the table. He praised,”good wine. Wonderful, wonderful!”
“It’s good wine. I’ve never had such a wonderful wine before. ” Chu Guang said.
“My Imperial Wine is not as good as this. Where did you get it?” Chu Xiangang asked.
“It’s from an Earl called Tang Wen. I heard that it came from the West and was given to him by a Western Crown Prince. It’s also an Imperial Wine.” Chu luoxiang replied.
“Tang Wen, are you Tang Wen from SuMei Island?” Chu Guang was stunned and asked.
“State Duke, you know him too?” Chu luoxiang asked.
“Of course I do. Previously, he led the Tang family’s servants to kill more than thirty thousand sun nation’s thieves.
Under my recommendation, he’s also promoted to the position of a general in the Yamen of the Linghai military.
It’s said that he also runs a Western business, like wine, mirrors, and lipsticks. ” Chu Guang said.
“Hold on, hold on. He killed 30000 enemies. Why haven’t I heard of that?” Chu Xiangang was stunned and asked.
“I’ve reported this to Your Highness before, but Your Highness was busy with military affairs and probably forgot about it. ” Chu Guang said.
“This person even made a military pledge with the Linghai Academy.” Chu Guang said.
“Oh, what Military Order?” Chu Xiangang seemed to be interested.
“It’s like this ...” Chu Guang said.
“This is a good thing. Let both sides contribute to the court. Chu Guang, you did well. The monument is to encourage them. Hahaha, you are really an old fox. ” Chu Xiangang laughed.
“It’s all because of the Imperial court. The sun nation’s attacks are getting fiercer and fiercer. Both the remote ocean and the remote ocean are worried. Once the remote ocean is broken, ocean Saint City will be in danger. ” Chu Guang was anxious.
“Hmph, how can the darchu dynasty be trampled by the sun nation’s scoundrels!” Chu Xiangang’s face changed and he slammed his palm on the table.
“However, the enemy is already at the city gates. I heard that they’re about to reach the remote Ocean City and the remote ocean region. Once the two provinces are taken, the gates of ocean Saint City will be wide open, and we’ll be in trouble. ” Chu Guang said.
“If that’s the case, I’ll personally lead the Army and live and die with the enemy.” Chu Xiangang said angrily.
“Don’t worry, Tang Wen has solved our urgent problem this time. ” Chu luoxiang said.
“What happened?” Chu Guang asked.
“This time, Tang Wen set a trap and led the sun nation’s enemy into it. He killed 50000 enemies. 50000, my Lords.” Chu luoxiang said.
” 50000? where did you get 50000?” Chu Xiangang was shocked and glared at his grandnephew.
“It’s like this. Tang Wen discovered that the Linghai Academy had betrayed the country.
Wei yang followed the Linghai college on an expedition and fell into the enemy’s trap. If it wasn’t for Tang Wen’s rescue, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the great dynasty would have been completely annihilated.
The high Duke also knew about this matter. It was during that time when they killed thirty thousand enemies ...
After that, The Guardian of Linghai Academy, Lin Zhi, came up with a cunning plan and incited the chief of soldiers, Qiu Zhaohai, and the others to reward Qilin Island to Tang Wen ...
In this way, Tang Wen would definitely come to their rescue when they incited the sun nation’s thieves to attack Qilin Island.
At that time, the Tang family would fall into a trap, and they would be finished.
Therefore, the sun nation had mobilized more than 50000 soldiers this time. They were determined to annihilate Tang Wen’s family.
“It’s just that it’s fortunate that Tang Wen saw through Linghai Academy’s scheme in advance ...” Chu luoxiang said.
“Luo Xiang, what you’re saying is like a dream, do you have any evidence?” Chu Xiangang looked at him sternly.
“I was also involved in Tang Wen’s defeat of the sun nation’s Army. It’s absolutely true.
I’ve even killed a few sun sect’s martialists.
As for Tang Wen’s claim that the Linghai Academy had notified him of his betrayal, he had recorded it all down with the Western magic mirror.
“Third great uncle, please take a look ...” Chu Xiangang took out his tablet and turned it on. Chu Xiangang and Chu Guang both looked over.
“A Western magic mirror. This is the first time I’ve seen such a novel item.
However, were the people and things inside true?
Whether it was drawn by an expert or created by an illusionary technique, there’s no way to verify it. ” Chu Xiangang said after a moment of silence.
“It’s absolutely true! However, Tang Wen had said that in order to win the trust of the officials, they needed witnesses and physical evidence.
Therefore, when Chen Cang escorted Wei yang to Haicheng City, the Linghai college would go over to kidnap him.
When the time comes, they’ll be arrested and the trial will be over. ” Chu luoxiang said.
“Besides, this mirror can prove everything. Third great uncle, look, I’ll perform for you on the spot. ” As Chu luoxiang spoke, she took a photo of her third great uncle.
“It’s quite magical, to actually be able to instantly make people stay. However, the person you showed us earlier could move, but the one you’re doing now can ‘t. ” Chu Xiangang said.
“Hehe, of course it can move. Third granduncle, Lord Duke of state, please walk around the hall and talk. ” Chu luoxiang smiled.
The two of them looked at each other and began to talk as they walked in the lobby.
In the end, when they saw the replayed video, the two of them were stunned.
“Amazing, amazing.” Chu Guang stroked his beard and sighed.
“It’s really amazing to be able to print the living.
From this point of view, Tang Wen had used it to print the human language and image.
However, the influence of the Linghai college in the southern provinces was not small.
To take them down, they needed solid evidence. Otherwise, it would be difficult to convince the ministers.
After all, there are a bunch of officials in the court who came from Linghai Academy. If we arrest them, we’ll incur the wrath of the public without evidence.
Hence, witnesses and material evidence are the most crucial. ” Chu Xiangang started to believe him.
“The Linghai Academy is a traitor! If we don’t get rid of these vermin as soon as possible, they will be a disaster for the great Chu dynasty!” Chu Guang said.
“Yes, I have to take care of this matter. However, since this matter also involved the supervisor of the six fan division, Zhang shuikang ... Therefore, it’s not appropriate for the six fan division to investigate this matter. We have to send someone else to investigate. ” Chu Xian thought for a moment and said.
“It’s not easy to choose this person. If the secret is leaked and the traitors escape, it will be a disaster for the court. ” Chu Guang said.
“Why don’t we ask the higher-ups to send some secret agents?” Chu luoxiang said.
“Yes, it’s decided.” Chu Xiangang replied.
“Tang Wen has made a great contribution. He’s eliminated 80000 enemies in total. He’s The Guardian of the ridge sea and the nemesis of the sun nation’s enemies.
I feel that the war against the sun nation will be his.
So, Chu Cong suggested to me. Taking advantage of this great victory, he might as well reward him with Peacock Island.
In this way, Peacock Island would become Tang Wen’s private property. He would not be willing to let the sun nation keep it.
At that time, they would definitely send troops to attack. With that, we can reduce the burden of the court. ” Chu luoxiang said.
“Peacock Island is the Royal fishing ground, and 20% of the fresh shrimp and fish in the palace are provided by Peacock Island. Once you give it to Tang Wen, what about the food in the palace?” Chu Xiangang said.
“The sun nation’s attack is like a tidal wave, and the southeast coast is almost lost. Is ‘eating’ more important or the Chu clan’s territory more important?” Chu luoxiang scoffed.
“Yes. Once the enemy breaks through the remote ocean and Linghai provinces, the gates will be opened and ocean Saint City will be in danger.
Once ocean Saint City was lost, the Imperial court and Jingji would be in danger.
The war in the Northwest was also intense, and the Imperial court could not spare any troops to aid the southeast.
It would be even better if he could borrow Tang Wen’s power. Tang Wen is also a noble of our court. As a noble, it is only right for him to serve the country.
Therefore, it was necessary to give him a reward when he had achieved a great victory.
Moreover, if the war in the southeast depended on him, it would be best to give him the power to mobilize the soldiers along the coast.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Tang family’s servants to fight against the sun nation’s Army.
After all, the previous victories were all related to them seeing through the schemes of the Linghai Academy.
It would definitely be different next time. If they had to face the enemy head-on, they could not do it without someone.
It was just a fishery. He could just get another one on another island in the future.
Moreover, so what if he gave it to Tang Wen? At that time, the Imperial court would issue an order, asking him to offer as much seafood as he could every year, and the food in the palace would be the same.
Of course, the Imperial court would compensate him every year. This is a small matter to the Chu clan. ” Chu Guang said.
“Alright, give it to him! I can report this matter to the Emperor, and I believe that the Emperor will also put the Chu clan’s territory first.
However, Tang Wen was only a general.
It’ll be difficult to give him the power to mobilize the soldiers along the coast. ” Chu Xiangang said.
“With Tang Wen’s achievements, it’s said that he has millions of war merit points.
In terms of silver, it was tens of millions of taels. In terms of battle achievements, it seemed to be almost at the threshold of a Marquis.
Moreover, Tang Wen has a powerful cultivation Pagoda in his hands. ” Chu luoxiang said.
“Cultivation Pagoda? A secret training room? We all have this. ” Chu Xiangang waved his hand disapprovingly.
“His is different. I’ve experienced it myself. There’s a spirit gathering array inside. Although it’s not as good as my Rising Dragon Realm, its effect is better than that of the Tiger realm.” Chu luoxiang said.
“Is it that magical? A spirit gathering array was made of spirit stones. In ancient times, there were quite a lot of spiritual stones. However, after a few thousand years, spiritual stones became rarer and rarer.
Until now, it was almost extinct. They could only be found in the underground palace or in the cave abodes left behind by ancient martial artists.
If he wanted to set up a spiritual array similar to the Tiger realm, he would need a large number of spiritual stones.
It’s impossible to find that many spirit stones now. ” Chu Xiangang said.
“Hehe, he does have one. I heard that he came from the West.
The cultivation Pagoda alone was embedded with tens of thousands of spiritual stones. It was said that the cultivation Pagoda on somi Island cost him more than two billion taels of silver.
I won’t hide it from you two, but someone managed to obtain a drop of Holy Spirit liquid from him. ” Chu luoxiang said.
“Holy Spirit fluid? how is that possible? only the royal family of the Dragon Realm has Holy Spirit fluid.” Chu Xiangang didn’t believe him at all and kept shaking his head.
“It’s true. With just this drop of Sacred Spirit fluid, Chu Cong rose to the heavens in a single bound and entered the Qi fostering realm.” Chu luoxiang said.
“Chu Cong is in the Qi nurturing realm?” Chu Guang became excited and grabbed Chu luoxiang’s hand.
“I say, High Duke, can you be gentler? You’re happy that your son has gained merit, but my hand is unlucky. ” Chu luoxiang smiled.
“Hehe, is what you said true? I can’t believe it. ” Chu Guang laughed drily.
“It’s true! Moreover, Tang Wen gave me a white-Jade radish. After I ate it, I stepped into the realm of thought connection in his cultivation Pagoda, and I directly entered the middle stage of thought connection. ” Chu luoxiang said.
“What a talent!” “I really want to meet this person,” Chu Xiangang praised.
“That’s easy. Just ask him to come to sea Saint City and pay his respects to Your Highness.” Chu Guang laughed.
“There’s no need for that now. We’ll talk about it after he defeats the enemy. ” Chu Xiangang waved his hand.
