MTL - Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention-Chapter 211 Assist the King of Chu
【You activated the plunder card and robbed Zhang Beichen to Chu State. 】
Yingdu, in the Palace of the King of Chu, Zhang Beichen met the King of Chu, Xiong Zhitong.
She is handsome yet domineering, sitting high on the throne, all the officials are awed.
"Craftsman Zhang Beichen, pay homage to the King of Chu!" Zhang Beichen saluted.
Several options appeared in front of Xiong Zhitong.
【Appoint Zhang Beichen as a general to manage the army. 】
【Appoint Zhang Beichen as prime minister to manage the government. 】
【Appoint Zhang Beichen as personal bodyguard, personal bodyguard. 】
Xiong Zhitong said directly: "Zhang Beichen, from now on, you will be the prime minister of our country of Chu. You will be responsible for all the affairs of the court!"
"Thank you!" Zhang Beichen shouted.
The king of Chu’s operation directly made the ministers of the state of Chu impossible. The Prime Minister of a country, such an important position, was directly handed over to others?
When someone stood up to object, a courtier stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Beichen has just arrived in Chu State, and he is a master of martial arts. At this time, I am appointing him as Prime Minister. I am afraid that it is because everyone is not convinced."
"Who is not convinced? Zhaoxi, are you not convinced?" Xiong Zhitong said directly, her eyes were stern and intimidating.
"Your Majesty's order, I will naturally obey!" Zhao Xi lowered his head.
"Since that's the case, then it's settled!" Xiong Zhitong didn't allow others to refute, and made a decision directly.
Zhang Beichen observed the expressions of the courtiers around him, and the courtiers of the Chu State were obviously dissatisfied with him as an outsider.
But Zhang Beichen has long been used to this situation, and he has his own way to deal with it.
…
After coming down to court, Xiong Zhitong summoned Zhang Beichen alone, and she said straight to the point: "Zhang Beichen, this king appointed you as the prime minister, and from now on, I will hand over all the affairs of the middle school to you. This king wants to practice in seclusion!"
Zhang Beichen was a little speechless, Xiong Zhitong was more thorough than Wei Yao in being the hands-off shopkeeper!
At any rate, Wei Yao would reluctantly pretend to go to court, but Xiong Zhitong didn't even bother to pretend!
Zhang Beichen had no choice but to say: "My lord, I am afraid that there are many people in the country who are dissatisfied with my ministers. It is difficult to implement government orders. If your majesty retreats, I am worried that they will cause trouble."
"It's simple!" Xiong Zhitong threw Zhang Beichen a tiger talisman and said, "I will entrust you with commanding my overlord's army. If anyone refuses to accept it, kill him first and play later!"
"Yes!" Zhang Beichen could only do so.
【The king of Chu started to practice in seclusion, and you will preside over all the government affairs in the court. 】
In the first few days, Zhang Beichen didn't make any big moves. Although the courtiers were dissatisfied, they didn't do anything.
Zhang Beichen began to carefully understand the internal situation of Chu State.
At the beginning of the simulation, Chu and Wei were the two most powerful countries in the world!
Even if Chu State directly sends troops to attack other countries at this time, there is no problem at all!
In fact, Xiong Zhitong tried this many times, but was finally defeated by Zhang Beichen every time. This is caused by many factors.
Aside from the personality of the King of Chu, there are also some problems within the Chu State.
Just like the clan of Chu State!
Like Qin State, Chu State also has a deep-rooted and powerful "old clan"!
There are mainly three clans, the Qu clan, the patriarch is Qu Li; the Jing clan, the patriarch is Jing Cheng; the Zhao clan, the patriarch is Zhaoxi!
The clansmen of these three families spread all over the court of Chu State, and participated in everything from officials to military affairs.
Moreover, the background of these three families is not small. The old clans of Qin State are all heroes who followed King Qin to make contributions. And Qu Jingzhao's three clans are all descendants of the previous Chu kings!
That is to say, all three clans have royal blood, and under certain circumstances, they can all inherit the throne!
In the previous simulation, once the king of Chu died, the state of Chu would split into disputes, and different kings of Chu would be supported for this reason.
"The three tribes occupy the land, wealth and population of Chu State, and the problem is even more serious than that of Qin State!" Zhang Beichen discovered that the prosperity of Chu State was based on the fact that the King of Chu could use force to suppress other tribes.
Once the king of Chu can't deter them, these old nobles will be able to shake the sky!
He used to use food wars and economic wars to destroy the state of Chu. At that time, the king of Chu realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't change anything.
The king of Chu asked them to send troops, and they were willing, but if they were asked to reform themselves, it would definitely be impossible!
Zhang Beichen thought: "Although the military power of Chu State is powerful, it is not enough to compete with the whole world! However, other queens have been imitated many times, and they are no longer what they used to be. It is simply a dream to directly conquer them!"
"It is necessary to carry out a thorough reform in Chu State, and take back power, land, and population from the hands of the old nobles!"
Zhang Beichen began to formulate a reform strategy and prepared to implement the reform.
However, this incident caused an uproar in the court.
"Reform?" Zhaoxi, the patriarch of the Zhao family, stood up and questioned openly: "Qin and Yan are weak countries, so they need to reform to become stronger. Our country Chu is already a strong country, why do we need to reform?"
Zhang Beichen explained: "A weak country can become a strong country through reforms. If Chu State reforms, it can become the strongest country among strong countries!"
The patriarch of the Qu clan, Qu Li, said: "The Prime Minister misunderstood. I think what everyone means is that the state of Chu does not need reforms, but that the state of Chu has already undergone reforms. Since it has already undergone reforms, why should it be changed again?"
Chu State did reform, and it was quite early, just before Xiong Zhitong ascended the throne, her father appointed Wu Luo from Wei Guolai to preside over the reform, which made Chu State as powerful as Wei State.
But Wu Luo's reform was incomplete and unsuccessful.
Taking office in Chu State was a bit short-lived, and died of illness a few years after taking office.
At that time, these old nobles directly led their troops to chase and kill Wu Luo, and shot Wu Luo to death in the Chu Palace!
When Xiong Zhitong took office, in order to stabilize the throne, he had to give up some power to the old nobles.
It wasn't until Xiong Zhitong became a strong man relying on his extreme martial arts talent, coupled with the powerful overlord army trained by himself, that he overwhelmed the old nobles.
"Wu Luo's reform was not successful, it is different from my Zhang Beichen's reform." Zhang Beichen said, "The new law I want to implement is more perfect."
At this time, the patriarch of the Jing clan, Jing Cheng, said coldly: "Reform, Prime Minister, don't you know what happened to Wu Luo? Back then, I personally shot him ten arrows!"
Anyway, Xiong Zhitong was in seclusion, so he was not afraid of Zhang Beichen, and even threatened him directly.
"Really?" Zhang Beichen disagreed, and said, "I hope you still have the courage now!"
As he spoke, Zhang Beichen released his aura, and his coercion directly made Jing Cheng's face turn pale.
Jing Cheng has the strength of the Nine Realms, which is already rare in the world, but Zhang Beichen is actually a Saint Realm!
Zhang Beichen said directly: "From now on, the truth is that the new law will be implemented in Chu State, and anyone who dares to stop it will be killed without mercy!"
Everyone was dissatisfied, but they saw a pair of overlords standing outside the court.
They recognized that these were Xiong Zhitong's personal guards! The king of Chu sent Zhang Beichen all his personal guards, which is enough to show her trust and support for Zhang Beichen, and everyone can only obey on the surface.
【You started to implement the new law and encountered a lot of resistance. Some people tried to challenge your bottom line, and you directly let the Overlord Army kill Falun Gong, deterring the old nobles of Chu State. 】
…
"This Zhang Beichen, if we let him continue to reform like this, we will be in danger!" The patriarchs of the three clans discussed together, and Zhaoxi was very worried.
"But he has the support of the King of Chu. If you want to deal with him, you have to deal with the King of Chu first!" Jing Cheng said.
When Xiong Zhitong was mentioned, everyone fell silent!
Although Xiong Zhitong is not very proficient in political affairs, she is the most capable king of Chu ever! Although the power of the three clans is not small, whoever dares to openly oppose the king of Chu will definitely be wiped out by her!
"How about assassinating Zhang Beichen?" Qu Li suggested.
"Zhang Beichen is a saint. In Chu, who can kill him except the King of Chu?" The patriarchs of the three clans found that they really had no choice but to let him slaughter Zhang Beichen!
"Everyone!" Zhaoxi sighed, and said, "In the current situation, we can only hide our strength and bide our time, lie dormant, and wait for the opportunity!"
"That's the only way!"
【Under your strong reforms, the old nobles of Chu State had to temporarily succumb. After three years of reform, the state of Chu State has greatly improved and its national strength is strong. 】
…
"Half-step emperor realm!" Xiong Zhitong woke up from retreat, and her realm went one step further.
She checked the government information and found that Zhang Beichen handled the government in an orderly manner, and the national power of Chu State was improved.
"Zhang Beichen is indeed a capable minister!" Xiong Zhitong thought to himself, "It's just that everyone else used the wrong method."
"Since he is loyal and capable, let him be in charge of the affairs of state. Why bother with the affair between men and women and disturb the practice?" Xiong Zhitong didn't quite understand the actions of other queens until now.
man? Men will only affect the speed at which she draws her sword. Why should she marry Zhang Beichen and have children?
"This king is practicing now, no matter how difficult it is to break through, let's fight a battle first to unclog the muscles and bones!" Xiong Zhitong decided to go to Yue Kingdom.
【The king of Chu decided to go to Yue, she entrusted you with state affairs, and personally led an army of 150,000 to attack Yue. 】
Xiong Zhitong possessed a half-step emperor realm cultivation base, coupled with the powerful Chu army, almost encountered no obstacles in attacking the Yue Kingdom, winning consecutive battles.
【Only half a year later, the King of Chu annexed Yue State, and the national strength of Chu State rose again. 】
Relying on the wealth obtained by annexing the Yue State, the old nobles of the Chu State also took a breather for a while.
【The king of Chu retreated to practice again. 】
Zhang Beichen continued to implement reforms, and other countries also began to develop.
This time, Wei Yao actually took the initiative to attack Chu State!
【The King of Wei appointed Pang Ming to lead an army of 200,000 to attack Chu. 】
【The king of Chu retreats, you order Xiang Mu and Fan Lue to lead an army of 150,000 to defend the Wei army. 】
【The Wei army has been attacking for half a year, but has not achieved any results, and has no choice but to withdraw. 】
"It didn't come down again!" Wei Yao lay on the bed like a salted fish, muttering in her mouth: "It's over, now that Zhang Beichen is snatched away by Xiong Zhitong, there will be another rival in love!"
…
【The king of Chu decided to go out after retreating for a year. 】
Xiong Zhitong was a little distraught, she could not improve her cultivation simply by constantly retreating, she felt that she had encountered a bottleneck and could not break through.
"I need a strong enemy!" Xiong Zhitong thought about it, and decided to go to the Nanman Temple and fight those elders.
【The King of Chu left the customs and went to the Nanman Temple alone. 】
When Zhang Beichen heard the news, he wanted to stop it, but Xiong Zhitong left too fast, it was too late.
…
Nanman, among the 100,000 mountains, Xiong Zhitong came outside the Nanman Temple, and broke through the protective formation here with one shot!
At this time, the earth shook and the mountains shook, scaring away countless birds and beasts.
"Who is it that dares to act presumptuously in front of the temple?" The temple elder roared angrily.
"This king is the king of Chu, Xiong Zhitong. You wizards and Gu masters have helped the southern barbarian kingdoms against our country of Chu for many years. Your crime is unforgivable. Why don't you come out and die soon?" Xiong Zhitong shouted.
"It turned out to be the king of Chu!" The people in the temple were also afraid of the power of the king of Chu, but soon they discovered that the king of Chu was alone and did not bring anyone else.
"Even if you are the king of Chu, you dare to attack my temple alone, you are too deceitful!" The elders in the temple shot one after another, "I will let you fall here today!"
The elders of the temple fought with Xiong Zhitong. They used all kinds of witchcraft and summoned Gu insects, but they were still no match for Xiong Zhitong.
"Too strong! She is too strong!"
"Is this the legendary invincible Overlord of Chu?"
"Why, she is already a half-step emperor, and there is only one of us who is a saint, how can he be her opponent?"
Everyone in the temple felt hopeless.
The guardian elder of the temple burned his blood, awakening the guardian deity of the temple, a poisonous flood dragon!
It has reached the peak strength of the holy realm.
The poisonous dragon flew into the sky, summoning the poisonous mist to fight Xiong Zhitong.
"The pinnacle of the holy realm is not enough, you are not enough to be my opponent!" Xiong Zhitong nailed the poisonous dragon to death on the mountain as soon as Xiong Zhitong fired his dragon spear!
"The patron saint was also beheaded by her!"
"My southern border, is it going to be destroyed?"
"No!" The elder of the temple cried blood, "Even if you give up our lives, you must kill her here!"
"Take our lives as sacrifices, please help the gods!"
As he spoke, the elder sacrificed himself first, and he turned into a cloud of black blood, which was absorbed by the altar of the temple.
"Elder!" Everyone followed him and sacrificed themselves.
"Grandpa, everyone!" Seeing this, the saints of the temple, Yan Na and Yan Sha also walked up to the altar.
Xiong Zhitong looked at it coldly, but didn't stop her. She wanted to know, how strong are the so-called gods?
All sacrifices were completed, the sky changed color, lightning flashed and thunder thundered, it seemed that a terrifying existence had descended!
Yan Na and Yan Sha's eyes have turned golden, glowing with divine light!
Xiong Zhitong felt that their souls were no longer there, and it was two extremely powerful wills that controlled their bodies!
"A mere mortal, dare to destroy the deity's inheritance, death penalty!" Yan Sha opened her mouth, and an extremely hot poisonous fire attacked Xiong Zhitong.
"Her body is very good, just enough to be the food of this deity!" Behind Yan Sha, a colorful poisonous insect appeared, and it rushed towards Xiong Zhitong.
Xiong Zhitong displayed his cultivation and fought with the two of them. Countless mountains were shattered, and everyone in the southern barbarian kingdoms was crawling and trembling!
Xiong Zhitong became stronger and stronger as she fought, and even broke through to the imperial realm!
"Damn it, this body is too weak to display the strength of this deity!" Yan Na was almost beaten to death by Xiong Zhitong.
"Gu God? That's all!" Xiong Zhitong shot Yan Na to death, who knew that a Gu insect flew out of Yan Na's body and entered Xiong Zhitong's body.
It is not a living body, but a mass of Qi, which Xiong Zhitong has never been able to get rid of from his body!
