Chapter 48: Li Yuan wants to create a god
Today, the basic stability has been achieved, and the discussion of rewards for merits has been put on the agenda! In October, Qin Shubao, the original protector of the Qin Wangfu, was appointed as the Left Guard General, Cheng Zhijie as the Right Guard General, and Wei Ronghou as the Right Wu Hou General. Gao Shiran was appointed as the Imperial Secretary, Fang Xuanling as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Xiao Yu as the Left Assistant Director, Changsun Wujie as the Minister of Personnel, Du Ruhui as the Minister of War, Yuwen Shiyi as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Feng Deyi as the Right Assistant Director. Additionally, Du Xian, the original military officer of the Tian Ce Fu, was appointed as the Grand Master of the Imperial Censors, Yan Shiguo and Liu Linfu as the Deputy Ministers of the Central Secretariat, Hou Junji, the Left Guard Vice Commander, as the Left Guard General, Duan Zhiyuan, the Left Yu Marquis, as the Xiuwei General, Xue Wantong, the Deputy Protector-General, as the Right Lianjun General, Zhang Gongjian, the Right Nei Fuzhuang, as the Right Wu Hou General, Changsun Anye, the Right Jianmen Rate, as the Right Jianmen General, and Li Keshi, the Right Nei Fuzhuang, as the General of the Left and Right Armies.
This is almost all the old subordinates of King Qin, and Crown Prince Li Jiancheng did not object at all! Li Shimin, who had fully recovered, refused all rewards and kept only the title of King Qin, settled in Luoyang, and took charge of all internal affairs! Li Yuanji was even more straightforward, and after returning to the capital, he was exempted from everything, and only reported that he wanted to stay in the rivers and lakes, and from then on, everything in the court had nothing to do with him! This kid is playing crazy with Li Daoxuan and others, stirring up trouble in the rivers and lakes, isn't it fun?! This is the first time a prince has been openly demoted to the rivers and lakes, if not for the terrifying existence behind him, he would have died long ago!
Half a month after the grand sea, one move broke through the myth and became the only legendary master of the Unique Sect! So this group of restless guys, under the banner of revenge, launched a large-scale invasion of the Miaojiang Wulin! Unlike last time's cautiousness, with only one legend leading the team, this time's lineup is very strong! There are Li Yuanji who joined in the excitement and Vice-Sect Master Li Daoxuan, as well as a new addition - Legendary Peak Yuwen Chengdu!
Xiong Kuai Hai gritted his teeth and led half of the sect's top masters to sweep through the Miaojiang martial arts world. Less than half a day after setting out, Li Yuanba, who wanted to experience the bold and passionate women of Miaojiang, joined in with Du Qing and two legendary masters.
Miao Territory, where mysterious and strange things emerge one after another, is most famous in the Jianghu for its use of Gu and Downhead techniques to kill people in a way that leaves no shape or form, with the dead bodies found in the most tragic state! This place is located in the hinterland of mainland China, bordering Dongting Lake to the east, Sichuan and Guizhou to the west, and Guangxi to the south. The terrain is mostly hilly with few plains, with continuous mountains stretching far and wide, making it a strategically important pass since ancient times.
The martial arts world here is highly exclusive, and basically no external forces can stand firm! Moreover, there are many poisonous substances and miasma everywhere, it can be said that it is a natural poison library!
Miao ethnic saint A Yaduo is very annoyed recently! Wearing a Miao costume with big flowers, she looks magnificent and elegant, with her dark eyebrows and clear face set off like a blooming lotus flower.
As the Holy Maiden, she is a symbol of maintaining the tribe's ruling status and the primary object that can be married at any time! Due to conflicts with the Wei Mi Sect, the enraged Xiong Kuohai killed several of the tribe's top masters, and her grandmother used her own blood to nurture the Zi Luo Tian Hui to drive away Xiong Kuohai, greatly injuring his vitality! However, a month ago, the Zi Luo Tian Hui was suddenly killed by someone, causing her grandmother to lose all her cultivation and become an ordinary old woman! This caused the tribe's prestige to greatly decrease, so her father hopes to make up for the lost prestige through marriage!
This is not, these days frequently receiving powerful tribes, let her like an exhibit being watched by people! Due to her beauty, several forces are competing, now all have reached the point of seeing blood...
"Ah, if only that Li family's Wei Wang were to come! Young and invincible under the heavens, slaughtering thousands for love - what a domineering manner! But his tribe and the sect he established have conflicts, not thinking of how to resolve this matter, still worrying about this small territory, it's really meaningless! Why not wait for him to come personally? I'll use my life-bound Sky Devouring Mother Gu to control him, and then bear a child for him. How wonderful that would be! It makes me sick to see these useless people every day!" Aya Duo had heard the rumors about Li Yuanba before, and she fell in love with him! Beautiful women love heroes, and Miao family girls are the most outstanding ones!
"It's strange, how come I haven't met a single good-looking one all the way? Did they all know I was coming and stayed home?" Li Daoxuan said with great disappointment as he looked around.
"I can't see a thing either! I say, where are we going to take revenge? With all this drilling and digging, I'm getting dizzy!" Li Yuangui complained nonstop.
"Lei Mountain! Let's go there!" Hong Hai shouted loudly!
"How did you guys get into this? Can't just start killing for no reason, right?" Li Daoxuan, the sect master, is only now thinking to ask the reason, how ridiculous!
"You're such a useless Sect Master! If we get wiped out, you'll be fully responsible!" Li Yuanba couldn't take it anymore, this incompetent Sect Master...
"Third Brother, how dare you say that to me? Our sect has been called this for so long, and now you're just realizing it. I'm just learning from you!" Li Daoxuan quickly shifted the conflict to this muddled authentic sect master!
"Huh! What are you yelling about?! I hereby strip you of your deputy sect master position, let Yuwen Chengdu take over, or if not, Xiong Kuohai will do. You can just be an elder from now on!" Li Yuanba was furious and still dared to talk back!
Yuwen Chengdu quickly changed the subject, this is also too childish!
"What's going on, what's the reason?"
"Ah! This... this...!" The anger on Xiong Kuohai's face suddenly turned into embarrassment! Under everyone's questioning, Xiong Kuohai revealed the real reason!
"After we arrived at Leishan, we met a beautiful woman. My subordinates thought she looked good and wanted to tease her! But this beauty was unreasonable, as soon as she heard that we were from our sect, she said we insulted the invincible general and wanted to clean up the door for our sect leader! Before I could react, she killed all my subordinates with a golden light in an instant! In anger, I chased her to her sect, but was caught off guard by an old woman who planted a gu on me! With great effort, I managed to escape..."
"Huh? Aren't they afraid that San Ge will come after them? Or do they have some backing?" Dao Xuan suddenly became curious!
"I'm not sure, but I feel that the woman seemed to be willing for the master to go in person, otherwise she wouldn't have said something like 'clearing the way for the master'!" Hong Kuohai said uncertainly.
"What? I seem to hear that San Ge has been taken a liking to by someone? San Ge, to be honest, have you ever been to Miaojiang?" Li Yuangui was like a firecracker, spitting saliva everywhere!
"Damn it! I didn't come here for nothing! Don't spout nonsense, okay?! By the way, has my handsomeness become world-renowned?" Li Yuanba said with great self-love.
A group of people started discussing and heading towards Leishan. After this conversation, Xiong Kuohai felt embarrassed to go kill the family again, so this group of people set off towards Leishan with a new purpose!
Does a chaotic world care about human life? What's more, it's the rivers and lakes that have been beheaded and are eager to avenge their lost face, not for those few scoundrels under their command.
In the same month, the Tang Dynasty established a system of substantive fiefs for meritorious officials. The Tang Dynasty's nobility was divided into nine grades: 1) King, with an estate of 10,000 households, first rank; 2) Hereditary Prince and Regional Prince, with an estate of 5,000 households, second rank; 3) Duke of a State, with an estate of 3,000 households, second rank; 4) Open Country Duke, with an estate of 2,000 households, third rank; 5) Open Country Marquis, with an estate of 1,500 households, fourth rank; 6) Open Country Earl, with an estate of 1,000 households, fifth rank; 7) Open Country Viscount, with an estate of 700 households, sixth rank upper; 8) Open Country Baron, with an estate of 500 households, seventh rank upper; 9) Open Country Gentleman, with an estate of 300 households, eighth rank upper.
Li Yuan set up a special position for Li Yuan, appointing him as the Supreme Heavenly General, King of the Supervising Country, in charge of all the troops under heaven, with special privileges higher than the imperial power! Li Yuan was creating a god, one that would make it embarrassing for Li Yuan to intervene in the politics of the Tang Dynasty.
