"Not long ago, the Daphne Empire was defeated by a mysterious empire. In the end, the entire army of millions was wiped out, leaving only the Black Skeleton Army and a group of people who fled to the coast."
Chapter 711 The world is big, a roadblock to the west
"The Daphne Empire?"
After hearing this name, Bai Zizai couldn't help frowning, this name is not in the same series as the Great Liang Empire.
He couldn't help being surprised and said: "So, this place in the extreme west really has a different world, but I don't know what the pattern is like there?"
He had also heard about the Black Skeleton Army.
This thing is like the southern chieftain and the northern barbarians on the edge of Daning back then. They are definitely shit-stirring sticks, and they are sticks from the far west.
They can make the Shuangxi Empire suffer, and their strength is definitely worthy of recognition.
From this, it can be seen that the Daphne Empire is definitely not weak, so the mysterious existence that pushes the Daphne Empire across the board is a bit extraordinary, and its strength may be even stronger than the Frost West Empire.
This made him look forward to it somewhat, this is another strong enemy.
"Whether it is strong or weak, it has nothing to do with us for the time being. There are still roadblocks ahead!" Lin Yi shook his head and smiled wryly.
Regarding the threat of this mysterious empire, he naturally considered playing with him, but although he wanted to intervene, it was beyond his reach.
According to the nautical chart rewarded by the system, after breaking through this continent, there is still a huge blank sea area, which is equivalent to saying that this is a super wide sea area.
To cross this sea area is much more difficult than going east to the Baqi Kingdom, at least the supplies and ships need to keep up, so he didn't let Luo Wang continue to track it down.
Without professional ships and accurate nautical charts, it is impossible to locate the Daphne Empire, let alone the mysterious empire.
Professional things were left to professional people, and finally he handed over this matter to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu's navy has been exploring towards the west, and this is also one of his tasks. It will be much safer if his fleet goes to investigate.
"That's right, there are also the Shuangxi Empire and the Daxi Empire."
Bai Zizai suddenly realized that there are still two roadblocks on the side.Although they couldn't threaten Great Liang, if they were caught in the middle, the risk would still be too great.
These two countries must also be destroyed. When the time comes, the two super empires of the East and the West will have a decisive battle, and the first battle will determine the master of the world.
Bai Zizai's eyes suddenly became warm, and he couldn't help but excitedly said: "Your Majesty, once we take down the Shuangxi Empire and the Daxi Empire, and then destroy the mysterious empire, the world will belong to Your Majesty!"
That is the lord of the world, if he had the opportunity to see the emperor become the lord of the world, if he came to rule the world, he would die in peace.
Now that the Shuangxi Empire has fallen and decayed, and the Daxi Empire is still developing, they are simply not up to the mark in front of the current Great Liang. The only threat is the mysterious existence that wiped out the Daphro Empire.
But as long as Great Liang destroys these two great empires, it will only be a matter of time before he can be destroyed again. By then, the emperor will be the only one in heaven and earth.
"The Lord of the World?"
There was a flash of light in Lin Yi's eyes, that is to rule the world, it is a great challenge, it makes people feel excited.
But to do this, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than imagined. The world seems to be much bigger than imagined.
He couldn't help laughing and said: "Old man Bai, you have to live well, otherwise you won't be able to see me when I become the co-lord of the world, the world's supreme, what a pity!"
Forehead!
Bai Zizai was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the emperor had said so much to him, but he just wanted to give him some spiritual support to keep him alive.
His eyes were suddenly a little sour, and tears couldn't help falling out, and he said bitterly: "The emperor's concern for me, I am very grateful, but it's a pity that my old bones don't live up to it!"
The veteran is not dead, but withered.
This is the most tormenting thing for him, and it is also the thing he can't face the most, because he wants to gallop in the war, not be so weak that he can't breathe.
"Hey!"
Lin Yi sighed, even if he didn't know much about medical skills, he could still feel that the old man was exhausted, and he was probably hopeless.
At this moment, he seemed to see the old man who planted potatoes in Xiliang back then, that extremely cunning old man was never seen again, maybe it was because of himself that he let him have this day.
If Bai Zizai's obsession hadn't dissipated, I'm afraid he could persist for a longer period of time instead of collapsing as he is now.
He patted Bai Zizai's palm, and said in a deep voice: "The old man Bai will be in Taixue from now on, where experienced military generals are needed to train newcomers, and Anda from before will also go there.
With you personally sitting in the town, you can also leave a legacy of the Asura Army, and you can chat more with my father by the way. "
Hey!
Since ancient times, the emperor has been called a loner, that is, at the peak of power, but no relatives dare to accompany him by his side, that is really desolate.
He doesn't want that!
"emperor!"
Seeing Lin Yi's loneliness, Bai Zizai straightened his body immediately, and said in a deep voice, "It is my greatest luck to meet a wise master like you in this life. I will definitely not die, I want Let the Shura army pass on, let the Shura army continue to be loyal to the emperor.
I also want to watch the emperor defeat the Shuangxi Empire, conquer the Far West, and then dominate the world! "
A scholar dies for his confidant, and the emperor does not dislike himself for being old. How can he give up on himself, so how can he be worthy of the emperor.
In an instant, Bai Zizai's eyes once again had a god!
He needs to inherit, to witness, to live, this is his last obsession.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Lin Yi's face, and he said solemnly, "Zunqing's play!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Bai Zizai smiled, as if he had returned to Xiliang when he first met him, and he had an obsession again.
This time I will live!
After finishing Bai Zizai's affairs, Lin Yi felt much more relaxed and relaxed. While walking, he looked at the surrounding scenery and people, feeling very comfortable.
Especially in many places, because they knew that the emperor's birthday was coming, they spontaneously put up lanterns and festoons to celebrate.
This made Lin Yi feel warm all over, which is the approval of the people.
"Common people, what a group of lovely people!" Lin Yi couldn't help sighing.
Naturally, Bai Zizai also saw this scene, and couldn't help sighing: "After the emperor ascended the throne, Great Liang's national power has grown at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the lives of ordinary people are much easier now.
They naturally knew the reason for this, so they thought of the emperor. "
The common people might not starve to death in the past, but how could there be so much food, and these seafood and other things, all of which were brought by the emperor.
With his own strength, the emperor changed Great Liang forever.
Lin Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Thanks to Xun Yu and the others, without them, I would have to wait at least a few years to do it."
Chapter 712 Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here
This is the truth!
Without the assistance of Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Cao Cao and others, even if they have a system to recruit troops, it will be difficult to understand various laws, policies and solutions in a short time.
It was because of them that Great Liang's rapid development was possible, and these people could be said to have contributed a lot.
"Talents are rare, and these great talents are even rarer!"
Bai Zizai nodded his head, the emperor's eyes are discerning, and he found so many great talents under his command at once, it's hard for Great Liang not to be strong.
When he was in the barbarians in the Northern Territory, he saw with his own eyes the power of the three brothers Xiahoudun and Zhang Jiao. It was the hammer and the stick that beat those barbarians so much that they loved and hated them, and finally they fell to the ground.
This kind of ability simply stunned him, fools are the strongest, if Daliang is not strong, there will be ghosts.
"what?"
Just when he was about to speak, Lin Yi suddenly saw an acquaintance, which made him very happy. It turned out to be Jia Xu and Cao Cao.
Is this the legend that said Cao Cao, Cao Cao will not be able to arrive?
They were drinking tea in a tea house, and there were a few old acquaintances beside them, who were obviously members of several big families, and they seemed to be discussing something.
It seemed that the people from these aristocratic families were very embarrassed, but Jia Xu and Cao Cao were smiling, as if they had picked up gold ingots, which made Lin Yi immediately interested.
"Your Majesty, Lord Jia and Lord Cao have been staring at the family recently, as if asking them to sponsor His Majesty's birthday this time, they are probably discussing this matter." Seeing Lin Yi's doubts, Wang Yue took the initiative to explain.
Luo Wang stared at the surroundings, so naturally he would not miss these families, they were all stared at.
Forehead!
The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched, it's no wonder that these aristocratic families are like relatives who have died one by one, it's because they were beaten by Cao Cao.
He said unhappily: "Cao Cao is unreliable in his work. An emperor like me wants to sponsor him on his birthday. This is simply outrageous. Won't the Ministry of Rites ask the Ministry of Households for money?"
"Cough cough!"
Wang Yue on the side coughed dryly twice, and said embarrassingly: "Master Cao said, these aristocratic families have made a lot of money in the Western Regions with Great Liang, and they are all full of money. They must be bloodletted, otherwise they will lose their hands if they have too much money."
"So that's the case, it makes sense!"
Lin Yi nodded slightly. It is natural to slaughter fat sheep. It seems that he needs to help Cao Cao so that he can slaughter a wave better.
With a thought, he went straight into the teahouse.
In the tea house!
"Cao A lied to you too much. I also paid taxes to His Majesty. What's wrong with earning some money? You just stare at me like this. I owe you?" Zhang Wanhao was about to cry. When did our Zhang family behave like this? I've been aggrieved.
This is simply too difficult. After paying the tax, you will be beaten in the autumn wind. This is simply Cao's skinning.
Cao Cao wasn't angry at all, looked at him with a smile, and sighed: "Brother Zhang, I, Cao Cao, didn't ask you for the three melons and dates, I'm giving you a chance, do you understand?
What does the emperor's birthday mean? That's a big deal. After you gave the sponsorship, the emperor's dragon face is very happy, and your Zhang family's chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven! "
It's not that he is greedy, it's that these aristocratic families have made a fortune this time, and their net worth has been multiplied by more than ten times on the Western Region business road. They can't grasp so much property!
Instead of staying and becoming a disaster, it is better to hand it over to the emperor. It is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Promote your sister!
The corner of Zhang Wanhao's mouth twitched, and he said quietly: "Master Cao, your three melons and two dates directly cost 500 million guan. This date is too big, I can't stand it!"
How can there be such a big jujube in this world, this is simply robbery.
As for the chicken and dog ascending to heaven, the people in my group are already burning incense if they are not dead, so why do they think about chicken and dog ascending to heaven.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the emperor will not let the family reappear, and that he will die if he ascends to heaven.
Several other Patriarchs also shook their heads one after another, no one could stand the millions of things.
This precedent cannot be set, the emperor has a birthday every year, but the emperor is also there, isn't this tens of millions a year.
"Hey!"
Jia Xu glanced at him and sighed, "Money is enough. If you don't bring it with you when you die, it may not be good to keep so much money! The emperor worked hard for the affairs of the state, and it was hard to celebrate his birthday happily." , you have to know how to be grateful in order to go far!"
What the hell!
This sentence frightened everyone, this old coin can kill people without blood, it is too scary if you don't bring it with you when you die.
Liu Kun couldn't help but whispered: "Master Jia, we naturally understand this gratitude, but we really can't stand the 500 million guan that you come here from time to time."
"Hey, what are you talking about, tell me?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, which surprised everyone.
"emperor!"
Turning their heads to look, everyone's complexion suddenly changed, and they quickly stood up to greet them.
The faces of the heads of the several great families were even more pale. Could it be that the emperor came to ask for money in person, and he couldn't do it if he didn't give it now.
"See the emperor!"
Cao Cao and Jia Xu were also taken aback. They hurriedly saluted, and then explained: "Your Majesty, we are discussing with several Patriarchs to contribute to the Emperor's birthday!"
"My birthday?"
Lin Yi frowned slightly, looked at Cao Cao with displeasure, and said in a deep voice: "My birthday is managed by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households. Why do I need the efforts of several family heads? How can I ask for money from the people?"
"Your Majesty forgive me, the household department has recently consumed more than half of it due to the Southwest War and the Baqi War, and now the benefits of the imperial examination cannot be given, so I want to discuss it with a few family heads.
I thought the Patriarchs would share the country's worries, but I didn't expect it would be the end," Cao Cao explained with a bitter look on his face.
"and many more!"
Before Cao Cao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Hui.
Wang Hui was in a cold sweat. If he asked Cao Cao to continue, he might be a traitor. He said seriously, "Your Majesty, I didn't expect the imperial court's household department to be so difficult now. Your Majesty is still worried about those candidates. You are really a generation of sages." .
Our family has made a lot of money following the emperor. If we don't even contribute to the emperor's birthday, we are simply inferior to pigs and dogs.
