Rise in the glory of the king system

Chapter 822 Beichen
Changsun Wuji and others were all shocked by Li Er's generous reward.

As for Qin Zulai, he was also a little surprised.

After all, he is no longer a rookie in the officialdom, but he knows very well how high the gold content of the title in the early Tang Dynasty is.

Li Er strictly controlled the number of titles issued. It can be said that, apart from those heroes who founded the country, even if they had titles, they were all ordinary county men.

Even the most respected by Li Er, Changsun Chong, who has a very high status, is only a county prince now, not even as good as the county prince before Qin Zu came.

Therefore, it is really unprecedented in the Tang Dynasty for Qin Zu to obtain the title of Duke of the County at his age.

He was even the first person to be conferred such a high-level title as the Duke of the County since Li Er came to the throne, except for those heroes who founded the country.

After all, if he was raising his title, he would be the duke of the state.

As for the Duke, it is the same as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and others.

Therefore, its high title and high status can also be seen.

And this is not the most important.

The most important thing is the fiefdom of Lantian County!

Before, when those titles said how many households there were in the city, they just said that they enjoyed so much treatment.

It's not really a fief, even if it is a fief, it's all done by digging and searching.

Just like the Ping An County he was in charge of before.

But now?
This time, he was directly given such a large piece of land, and it was still Lantian County, a place with excellent economic development.

It is also the county seat of Chang'an, the imperial capital.

Whether it's location, symbolism, or practical significance, it couldn't be better.

This is something that some princes don't have.

Even many dukes of the state have no fiefs at all, saying that the fiefs are all false.

They have no right to dispose of the fief at all.

But Qin Zulai, Li Er said that within the fiefdom, Qin Zulai had the right to make decisions on the appointment and dismissal of officials in the county.

Although the officials in a county, the largest ones are only eight or nine grades.

But regardless of how many officials there are, how big or small they are, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning, but they really have real power.

This is much stronger than many dukes.

At the same time, it also showed that Li Er attached great importance to Qin Zulai.

Before, some ministers may only think that Li Er valued Qin Zulai because of Qin Zulai's ability.

But now, Li Er has done this. If they still think like this, they would be too stupid.

Some people even suspected that Qin Zulai was Li Er's illegitimate son.

After all, this treatment is really great!

He is really better than some princes!
Envy, jealousy, greed... All kinds of emotions spread in the hearts of many ministers.

They looked at Qin Zulai, and their hearts were really complicated.

It's only been a few months. Qin Zulai has become one of the real power figures in the Tang Dynasty since he became a judge in Dali Temple.

This son is really terrifying!

"Qin Zulai, are you still not accepting the order? Could it be that you are happy and silly?" Seeing that Qin Zulai did not respond, Li Er said with a smile.

Only at this moment did Qin Zu regain his composure, bowed hastily, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Regardless of whether other people are jealous or not, whatever you get is the best.

If you don't want a reward, you'd be a fool!

Li Er said with a smile: "Although you have already walked in front of many people, the future is still far away. There is still a lot of space ahead of you, so don't be complacent and work hard slowly."

"I have seen your growth with my own eyes. If you stop because of your own self-satisfaction, I will punish you."

Qin Zulai smiled and said: "If there is such a day, His Majesty should be happy. When will there be no darkness in the world, and when there will be no grievances..."

"Whenever no one commits a crime, then the minister will really be satisfied and stop moving forward."

Hearing Qin Zulai's words, Li Er couldn't help laughing again.

He knew that in this world, anyone could be complacent, but Qin Zu was always on the way.

Because Qin Zu came, he will never forget his original intention.

Li Er smiled and said: "Since you say that, I really want to look forward to that day?"

Qin Zulai smiled and said, "My minister, I'm also looking forward to it."

The two looked at each other, and immediately laughed.

Everyone around them also laughed at this time, the crisis was finally lifted, and they were finally able to completely relax.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty, what should we do with Han De?"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Hande.

I saw Han De, who was so arrogant and proud before, seemed to be crazy at this moment, smiling smirking there with disheveled hair.

He was hit too hard by Qin Zulai. Han De is a very proud person, but also a very arrogant person.

So such a person is the most unbearable blow.

When Qin Zu came, he attacked from the beginning to the end, and despised him from the inside out.

In the end, it actually drove Hande crazy.

Seeing Han De's madness, Lu Shisan couldn't help feeling pity in his heart.

What a pity.

But it deserves it!

Who asked you to compete with Mr. Shaoqing in conspiracy?Than brain?

You are not looking for that blow for yourself, so what is it?

Even an old fox like Zheng Xun was fooled by Lord Shaoqing.

As a general, where did you really get the courage to compete with Master Shaoqing?

Of course, that's what he said, but Lu Shisan also knew that Han De was really a very smart warrior.

After all, they deceived Turkic and Tuyuhun as fools.

Then use the Turkic assassination to create opportunities for yourself.

He even used Kai Yang's subordinates to plot against Master Shaoqing...

To be able to do this, there is no brain, and it is impossible to do it at all!

But it's a pity that he met Mr. Shaoqing, an existence whose IQ completely crushed Hande.

So his result was already doomed.

Self-inflicted, can't live!

Li Er looked at Han De, who was like a lunatic, and said, "Qin Zulai, what do you think, how should we deal with him?"

Qin Zulai smiled and said, "Are you really crazy? I'm going to take a look."

He walked up to Han De, only to see that Han De was smiling silly.

Seeing Qin Zu approaching, he also giggled.

And his eyes were glazed over, as if he was really stupid.

Qin Zulai squatted in front of Han De and said, "Are you really stupid?"

"Ghost, devil."

Han De suddenly showed extreme panic and stepped back suddenly. Suddenly he sat on the ground and quickly crawled back.

In that way, it was as if he had really seen something terrifying.

Qin Zulai touched his chin.

He looked at Lu Shisan and asked, "Lu Shisan, does this officer look scary?"

Lu Shisan smiled and said, "It's Mr. Shaoqing who cast too much psychological shadow on him."

Qin Zulai nodded slightly. He looked at Han De again and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a devil. At most, I'm just killing your enemy."

Lu Shisan: "..."

Now, Hande was even more frightened, and started to back away.

Clothes were all torn on the floor.

Qin Zu said, "Do you still remember who you are?"

"The devil, the devil."

Han De pointed at Qin Zu, and turned these two sentences upside down.

Qin Zulai stroked his chin and said, "I have forgotten who I am? Then you, do you still remember your identity as the Big Dipper Society?"

Hande still had that expression.

Qin Zulai narrowed his eyes and said, "Yaoguang, it should be your code name, right?"

Han De stared at Qin Zulai blankly and fearfully, as if he didn't understand what Qin Zulai meant.

Lu Shisan asked: "Lord Shaoqing, you said he was a fluke light. Is this true?"

Li Er and the others also came over at this time, looking at Qin Zulai at the same time.

Qin Zulai said: "No accident, it should be. After all, Yaoguang has another name, called Pojunxing."

"And Pojun fits his ID card perfectly."

"Of course, I'm just guessing casually, and it's okay to guess wrong."

Qin Zulai didn't care what he was called, he could be called Wang Goudan, as long as Han De himself was one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper Society, that's fine.

In this way, he can be sure that there are only four people left in the Big Dipper Club.

Finally, nearly half of the people were picked out by someone from Qin.

"Qin Zu, how is it? Is he crazy?" Li Er asked.

Qin Zulai stood up and said, "Maybe he is really stupid, so lock him up and talk about it later."

Li Er glanced at Qin Zulai, then nodded slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Come on, take him down."

Soon, some shadow guards took Hande into custody.

After Han De was taken away, Li Er asked in a low voice, "Is he really crazy? No...it can't be fake, right?"

The corners of Qin Zulai's mouth rose slightly, "Who knows, maybe he's really crazy, or maybe he's just pretending to be crazy."

"But it doesn't matter."

"As long as he doesn't die, he will be a thorn in the side of the Beidou Society, a bomb that may reveal their secrets at any time!"

"so……"

He looked at Li Er and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, you have to protect him, because he can bring you a lot of fish."

"He is much more useful alive than dead."

Li Er narrowed his eyes, "Don't you care?"

Qin Zulai smiled and said: "The prison in Dali Temple can't bear that kind of shock, I have to think about the lives of the brothers in Dali Temple."

"It's not worth losing your life for a thief from the Beidou Society."

Li Er took a deep look at Qin Zulai, then shook his head involuntarily and said, "You, you."

"Okay, if that's the case, let the Punishment Department take care of it. The Punishment Department has more manpower. I will also send people to ambush. I guarantee that everyone will die."

Qin Zulai smiled and said: "Then, congratulations to Your Majesty, you will get rid of many thieves again."

Mr. Li Er felt that Qin Zulai was uneasy and kind, but he had no choice. Qin Zulai was unwilling to take risks in Dali Temple, so what could he do?

Moreover, Li Er did not want Qin Zu to take risks.

Qin Zulai's life was precious in his heart.

He shook his head helplessly, and said: "Three members of the Big Dipper Society have fallen into your hands now, so you should be careful yourself, the Big Dipper Society may not let it go."

Qin Zulai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister is now in their hearts, and he has become a devil."

"They want to make trouble for the minister, so they have to be aware of being discovered."

"And I feel that they may not have the guts yet."

When Li Er heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Who would have thought that the Beidou Society, which is so deeply hidden and has such a terrifying influence, would be trampled underfoot by a 17-year-old boy today, and he didn't even dare to retaliate.

They are really miserable!

And I am really lucky.

It is really very lucky to have Qin Zu in Datang!

………………

Time flies, five days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five days, many things happened.

Although the competition between Turks and Tuyuhun is over, the subsequent influences have only just begun.

The Tang Dynasty has already sent envoys to Tuyuhun and Turkic to ask for an explanation.

Regardless of whether these two countries were deceived by Hande, at least they really had ulterior motives and wanted to harm Datang.

Therefore, Datang can stand still and ask for an explanation.

If Turkic and Tuyuhun were wiser, lowered their attitudes, apologized and compensated, then this matter, after all, Datang did not suffer any losses, and it could be regarded as the past.

But if they are ignorant and still rampant, then maybe the war will restart.

And it may no longer be a small-scale war, but directly become a frontal war between the two countries.

Datang, I can't bear it any longer!

Even if Datang is not the best time to send troops, Datang can no longer tolerate it and keep a low profile.

After all, the surrounding countries are still watching this matter.

If the Tang Dynasty repeatedly tolerated it, other countries would only think that the Tang Dynasty was weak and that it was easy to bully.

At that time, maybe they will become the second Tuyuhun, or the Turks.

At that time, it will be really dangerous.

Therefore, Datang has no choice. If the Turkic Tuyuhun is still unreasonable and rampant, then there is nothing to say.

beat!
Beat them to lose their helmets and armor!

The beating made them cry bitterly! !
Only in this way can other countries be deterred, otherwise Datang will not have a day of peace.

For the stability of Datang, even if Datang is not ready, he can only grit his teeth and fight.

Datang people, never fear war!

This is the biggest thing in these five days.

And other little things, too.

For example, Li Er's award to Qin Zulai has already spread.

Now everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows that Qin Zulai has become the youngest county prince.

I also know that the owner of Lantian County is now Qin Zu.

Moreover, Qin Zulai's performance in the competition has already spread.

All the storytellers were even more imaginative, and made Qin Zulai's civil and military stories amazing, which made Qin Zulai's reputation and fame spread far and wide.

Maybe they were the people of Chang'an City in the past, and they were familiar with Qin Zulai.

But now, there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty who don't know that Qin Zu came.

And Qin Zulai, after Datang Qingtian, the most intelligent person in Datang, has a new nickname again.
-
Datang, the leader of the younger generation!

And recognized by all.

Qin Zulai became a household name and became famous.

In addition to these, there were also some miscellaneous things that happened, but generally speaking, it was like throwing a small stone into a lake, and it didn't cause much movement.

And Han De of the Big Dipper Club was also imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial.

But so far, no news has been heard.

But Qin Zulai was not in a hurry, as long as Han De was still alive, he believed in the Beidou Society and would not give up on Han De.

Either save Hande or kill Hande to avoid future troubles.

Beidou will definitely not let it go.

As long as Beidou is not stupid, he must know that Han is the bait they deliberately put down.

Just to lure them out.

Qin Zulai didn't hide it, nor let Li Er hide it.

It's not necessary!

After all, Beidou knows how to be smart, and he can't hide it.

Since they can't hide it, let them wait openly for Big Dipper to take the bait.

He believes that even if Beidou knows this, he can only obediently take the bait.

After all, Han De is an untimely bomb to them, in case Han De reveals the deeper secrets of the Beidou Society...

Then for Beidou Club, there will only be greater losses.

Not to mention, three people have already fallen into his hands.

The other members of the Beidou Society must have been worried, so they didn't dare to give themselves the chance to get more clues.

Then, Hande must die!
Now it seems that this is how Beidou will act.

Qin Zulai was also waiting for them to take action.

He has fought head-on with the Big Dipper Society three times, and Qin Zulai is no longer ignorant of the Big Dipper Society.

Although it is said that the seven members of the Beidou Society are independent of each other, there are still many people who help each other in these actions.
And as long as they act, they will leave clues, but there are not many clues left in one action, but what about two actions?three times?

Now that Qin Zulai is in his hands, he no longer has no clue about her being killed by several members of the Big Dipper Society.

These three actions were more or less controlled by Qin Zulai.

It's just that there are not enough clues, so Qin Zulai held back for the time being.

Now, he was waiting for this action from the Beidou Society.

This time, Qin Zulai no longer participated directly, but observed as an outsider, maybe... he would get an unexpected surprise.

And this is why he didn't directly take over Hande's purpose.

He wants to jump himself out to prevent himself from being on the chessboard of others.

It is really necessary to be cautious all the time to be an enemy of these smart people.

If you are not careful, you may lose the whole game.

Therefore, the past five days have been peaceful, but also undercurrents.

Everyone is waiting.

Wait for Turkic and Tuyuhun's response!

Wait for the Beidou Society's action!
………………

At this time, somewhere in Chang'an, an underground secret room.

There is a pattern of Yin Yang Bagua fish on the wall.

Inside the secret room, on a stone table, there were three mysterious people in black robes sitting there.

They were silent for a long time, making the secret room seem a bit depressing.

After a long time, the blue Yuheng finally spoke, and he said, "I really didn't expect that Hande was actually a Fluctlight."

"Yaoguang, he never participated in our meeting before. I thought he was not in Chang'an. I didn't expect him to hide so deeply that he even deceived us."

The red Tianxuan snorted coldly, "What's the use of deceiving us, isn't it just being played around by Qin Zu?"

Yuheng sighed, "Qin Zulai is really terrifying. His wisdom and cleverness shocked me."

"Now, I don't dare to show any clues, for fear that Qin Zulai will catch clues and find me."

Tianxuan sneered: "Yu Heng, why have I never seen you so timid before? Now a Qin Ancestor has come and scared you?"

Yuheng said in a muffled voice: "Tianxuan, don't be eccentric, you are not afraid, then go and kill Qin Zulai."

"As long as you can kill Qin Zulai, how about giving you half of my power?"

Tianxuan stopped talking immediately.

Yu Heng sneered and said, "You are obviously afraid of Qin Zu coming, so don't laugh at others."

Tianxuan's complexion was a little bad, but before he could speak, he heard Tianshu speak.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. In the past month, our Beidou Association has suffered heavy losses. If you start fighting, I think...the Beidou Association will not exist anymore, just disband it."

The two fell silent when they heard Tianshu's words.

Tianshu looked at them, was silent for a while, and said, "Beichen is very dissatisfied with us. He asked us to deal with Fluctlight as soon as possible. We must not let Fluctlight reveal our secret."

Tianxuan and Yuheng's expressions changed upon hearing this.

Yu Heng focused his gaze, and said, "Did Bei Chen speak?"

Tianshu nodded slightly, "You two are the confidants I personally recruited. Only you two know the true meaning of the existence of the Beidou Society."

"So, I don't need to say more, now stop the internal strife, and think about how to solve the fluctlight, that's the real thing."

Both Yuheng and Tianxuan frowned.

The Beidou Club actually has another name, which is Diche!

The so-called emperor's car is a car for the emperor...

Therefore, Beidou is the escort star.

And what they are escorting is the Beichen star that the Big Dipper points to!

Beichen, also known as Zigong and Ziweiyuan, is said to be the residence of Haotian God, the emperor of heaven.

Therefore, Beichen is also the number one star!
It corresponds to Ziwei star from afar.

Compete with each other!

Tianshu said: "Whether it's Tianquan, Kaiyang, or Yaoguang, they are a group of idiots used by us. If they are destroyed, they will be destroyed. They won't have much impact on us."

"But now, the key is that Fluctlight is still alive, and his life is a great threat to us!"

"Although he is a fool who is being used, he still knows some of our secrets."

"If he is alive, it is very likely to threaten our ultimate goal, so he must die!"

"As for Li Shimin, they must also know that we will try our best to solve Fluctlight, so they must have prepared traps waiting for us to jump."

"Therefore, this time we can't just stand by and do our best."

He looked at Tianxuan and Yuheng, and said: "This time, we are comparing with Li Shimin in actual strength, and it depends on who has the stronger strength."

Tianxuan and Yuheng's expressions changed slightly.

Yuheng said, "Will this...will reveal our identities?"

Tianshu said: "If you don't deal with Yaoguang, you think that with Qin Zu's ability..."

"If you can make Fluctlight speak, can't you rely on clues to find us?"

Yuheng finally stopped talking now.

After so many fights, how could they not know the horror of Qin Zulai.

Absolutely cannot give Qin Zulai the chance to discover their clues!
Tianshu said: "However, we can't really expose ourselves just because Yaoguang is alone."

"So, you can hide your core strength, but you must contribute, otherwise...if we miss this opportunity, we will never have any chance again."

"in addition……"

Tianshu looked at Yuheng and Tianxuan, and said, "Beichen said, he will also take action at critical times."

"what?!"

Yuheng and Tianxuan were startled and raised their heads suddenly.

"Beichen, he actually wants to make a move?"

Tianshu nodded solemnly, "Now, you have nothing to worry about, right?"

Yuheng and Tianxuan looked at each other, and Xuanji nodded heavily.

Tianxuan said: "Since Beichen wants to make a move, then there is nothing wrong with it."

Yu Heng also nodded.

Tianshu, whose face was covered by the hood, slightly curled up the corners of his mouth.

………………

Dali Temple Yamen, inside the office room.

Qin Zulai flipped through the Taoist books from Qin Shihuang's secret collection,
He turned to the page of the stars, his eyes narrowed slightly.

I saw that it was recorded like this in Taoist books.

There are seven stars in the Big Dipper, and the gods of the Nine Emperors are called the "Nine Stars of the Big Dipper". They are seven visible and two hidden.

I also saw that the Big Dipper is called the Emperor Chariot, and the star it refers to is Beichen, the star where the Haotian God lives.

Qin Zulai put down the books, walked slowly to the bed, raised his head and looked up at the starry sky above his head.

On the sky, the Big Dipper was shining brightly, and the two not very bright stars were completely blocked by the brilliance of these seven stars.

And to the north where the Big Dipper points, a brighter star is shining brightly.

Qin Zulai's eyes suddenly narrowed, "It's true that the more you know, the more complicated you feel."

"However, that's fine too, Beichen..."

The corner of his mouth raised slightly, "It's interesting, now, the blood is boiling again."
