Heaven's Formula

"Okay, I will try my best. Please follow me." Dong Mao led him through the corridor of the apse and into a relatively independent hall.

There were hundreds of people standing in the hall. They were of different ages and appearances, including white-haired old men and teenagers of twelve or thirteen years old.Obviously, the vast majority of them are non-sense people, but today's Privy Council cannot do without the help of these people.

Fei Nian didn't ask their names.

They only have one name.

"spy".

"Master Dong must have told you the purpose of the Privy Council's summoning you." Fei Nian looked around and said, "Some of you are from the army, and some are from the government office, but from now on there will only be one service object, and that is the Privy Council Seven Stars. This time, this is your first action representing the Privy Council, I hope you will live up to everyone's expectations and lay a solid foundation for the next plan of the Council!"

Everyone bowed their heads together without making a sound.

"Seven Stars need intelligence, no matter how big or small. You can do your best to send back the information you see and hear to the command post; you can stir up riots in the city so that the enemy has no time to distract; you can also buy and frame Enemy, money is not a problem... as long as you can obtain effective information and substantially weaken the opponent's strength, you can get a reward of a hundred taels of gold!"

"Everyone is an expert, so I won't play tricks on how to do it. Everything depends on the result!"

After finishing speaking, Fei Nian nodded towards Dong Mao.

The head of the recording department clapped his hands, "Going out of this door, you are ordinary people. The official road to Jinxia has been confirmed to be smooth, let's start now."

There is no sacrifice of wine before departure, and there is no scenic travel. They are all undercurrents hidden under the general trend, and history will not leave any records about them.

But this is a crucial step for the Privy Council.

As long as the information is detailed enough, the general trend is just a game of chess.

At this time, an alchemist from the recording department walked into the hall and whispered a few words beside Dong Mao.

"Oh?" Dong Mao pondered for a while, "It happens that you are here too, so it's better for you to decide."

"What's the matter?" Fei Nian asked.

"A Juren who came to Shangyuan for reference, said he came from Jinxia City. He reported that Jinxia's Prime Minister was perverting, disturbing Gangchang, destroying the foundation of scholars, and intending to plot rebellion."

"Oh? What is his identity?"

"According to the information entered by the Ministry of Officials, this person has quite a family background in Jinxia."

"Alright, Mr. Dong, please arrange a meeting."

……

Half an hour later, Fei Nian saw the appealer Zhou Sheng.

The appearance is dignified, but the spirit is quite sluggish, and there is still a little alcohol on his body. He thought to himself that this person's life should be quite rough recently.

"I heard that you are from Jinxia City? How long have you lived there? What is your relationship with Xia Fan?" Fei Nian said slowly after letting the other party sit down.

He naturally knew that the conspirators would not be Xia Fan himself, and that the third princess, Ning Wanjun, was the key to giving him confidence, but the news had not yet spread, and the world did not dare to make false comments about the royal family.

"My lord, it's been at least ten years. I have nothing to do with Xia Fan...I'm just a scholar, and I can't stand the evil deeds he has done!"

"for example?"

"He opened a school in Jinxia, ​​and let a woman from Chunlou serve as his teacher; the imperial court clearly sent a prefect to take charge of Jinxia, ​​but he forced the other party to dare not enter the government office! Also... the pirate attack was also caused by Xia Fan, in order to seize The wealth of the Wang family murdered local officials! My lord, everything I say is true, and there is absolutely no deceit!"

To be honest, Fei Nian is not interested in these accusations, if he appeals to the Privy Council as soon as he arrives in Gyeonggi, maybe His Highness can be prepared.Xia Fan only dared to report it now that he was a wanted person, and the intelligence value was running out.

Of course, it would be embarrassing for a scholar to gamble all his future to report the treason of a fourth-rank official before Chunwei.

What Fei Nian valued was his identity as a local.

Since he was not from a poor family, his family must have some contacts in Jinxia City. This is very important for the spies, and it is equivalent to obtaining a frontline stronghold.Although without Zhou Sheng, those people would use bribery and befriending methods to insert eyeliner, but obviously there are not too many insiders.

"Go back to Jinxia." He said.

Zhou Sheng froze, "My lord——?"

"It's not that I don't believe your words, nor am I driving you away, but I hope you can cooperate with the Privy Council to launch an investigation on Jinxia City."

"But Chunwei..."

"After Chunwei, you are only a Jinshi, so it doesn't matter if you don't take the exam. And are you sure you will win the first place?" Fei Nian smiled slightly, "If you can help the Privy Council, I will guarantee you a top three place in the palace exam, how about it?"

Top three!A thunderbolt flashed in Zhou Sheng's heart. This is definitely the honor that scholars all over the world dream of. "It's okay if you don't refer to it?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't go. You don't need to worry about these small things." Fei Nian repeated in a firm tone, "If you are worried, I beg His Majesty the Emperor to write a sealed decree to your head office, right?"

Zhou Sheng did not doubt the power of the Privy Council at all.

After the enthronement ceremony, everyone has already seen that the Privy Council is no longer a pure evil removal organization.

"Then... please." He knelt down deeply.

Chapter 399 Arms Trade

……

"Stupid dog, it seems that you are doing well here, your body has grown stronger." Ning Qing looked Shan Hui up and down and said, "If it grows longer, I'm afraid you won't be able to run anymore, right?"

"We haven't seen each other for so long, can't you say something nice?" Shan Hui sighed.

After half a year, he finally saw Master Wu Yueyao again.

And by the way, the green-faced ghost.

It's a pity that Miko-sama has something important to do, so she has to discuss it with Princess Xia Fan and the others first, so he can only stay outside the reception hall, staring at Nina Qing.

Compared with the time when we parted, the protagonist has obviously grown up... Maybe it has nothing to do with age, but the experience of crossing the sea twice made her farther away from immaturity.

As for Nagino... still has that annoying look.The muscles on his body are not missing at all, and his expression is a little colder, almost like a Shura walking in the world.

"That's already a good word." Nagino turned his head away and stopped looking at him, "With your dull and impatient nature, it's normal for them to throw you away."

"Heh, you're the only one who doesn't understand the power of the Tengu. I have joined the King of Ten Thousand Monsters, and she has never disliked me."

"The King of Ten Thousand Monsters? Who is that?"

"The dark side of Jinxia City, the keeper of the monster's right to survival—Lord Li!"

"..." Nina Qing was silent for a moment, and finally decided to let the topic stop here.

"In short... as long as you have a good life."

Shan Hui shook his tail, "By the way, where is Nina Hong? Why didn't I see her?"

"Sister was injured in an anti-siege operation before, so she can't go with the adults."

"Injured? Seriously?"

"Fortunately, it's not to the point of death." Nina Qing's voice was calm, without much emotional ups and downs, "It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time, so I couldn't share the injury for her."

Shan Hui knows... this is the weakness of Nina Hong. After she becomes mad, she can heal others with blood, but she cannot heal herself.

"Why did this happen?" His tail stopped, "Didn't Jinxia City stop supplying sea salt to the enemy?"

"The actions of the princes have indeed slowed down, but Dongsheng's offensive has suddenly strengthened a lot. Not only have more firearms, but even evil spirits." Ning Qing whispered, "We are struggling, and many people died. Now the troops have retreated to the southwest mountain line, only relying on the terrain there can block Dongsheng's attack."

Shan Hui couldn't help becoming anxious, "What should I do..."

"I don't know, this is something Lord May wants to discuss."

……

"I know this request may bother you...but the Yama Kingdom desperately needs your help!"

In the reception hall, Wu Yueyao bowed his head deeply to Ning Wanjun.

She also knew that the two sides were separated by the ocean, and it would be extremely difficult to provide substantial help, but the situation has reached this point, and the evil horse is in danger of being destroyed, so she really can't care so much.

Ning Wanjun was also quite embarrassed.

Jin Xiagang launched an offensive on the whole of Shenzhou in winter. In order to deter the rebel forces everywhere, troops are needed everywhere.In addition, the snow season is over, and the news of her rebellion will definitely spread throughout Qiguo, and it is still unknown what countermeasures Gyeonggi will take.It is absolutely unrealistic to divide troops to fight in island countries across the sea.

But after Xia Fan's indoctrination, she also knew that Xima had to help.

An island rich in copper and silver resources is also a barrier to the east of the mainland. If Dongsheng is allowed to occupy the entire island, it will be difficult for Natalin to keep the war away from Jinxia City if they want to invade again.

"Don't worry, we will definitely not sit idly by what happened to your country. As for the method of assistance..." Ning Wanjun raised an eyebrow at Xia Fan.

The latter understood it, and immediately answered, "Your Highness, I have a proposal."

"You said."

"I suspect that Dongsheng's sudden increase in offensive has something to do with the West Pole Empire. The governor of the Western Sea Region set up a port in Dongsheng, and there must be some kind of transaction between the two. Therefore, we can consider using the empire's warships to weaken the relationship between the two sides. "

"The...empire of the West Pole?" Wu Yueyao was taken aback, obviously unaware of this matter.

"Could it be bombardment of the port?" Xu Sanzhong asked suspiciously, "Those people have just started training. If we fight at sea, I'm afraid we won't have the upper hand."

"There's no need to fight enemy ships, you just need to put on a show." Staff Officer He's eyes lit up, "And not as Jin Xia, but as the Imperial Navy!"

"Let our people pretend to be the Imperial Army?"

"I don't really need to pretend, don't we just have a group of ready-made sailors?" He talked eloquently, "Let the fleet hang the flag of God's flag and pretend to be on the side of evil horses, and Dongsheng will naturally It is speculated that there are different voices within the empire, and their relationship is not as stable as a mountain. Then the rumors will be released to prove that there is indeed a Nattatin force that has deals with the Yama Kingdom, and this guess can be confirmed."

"Officer He is more thoughtful than I am." Xia Fan smiled, "But this is just a psychological offensive. If Dongsheng doesn't suffer the real pain, they probably won't stop. Lord Wuyue... He turned to the young witch, "Jinxia City can increase its assistance to the Yama Kingdom, for example, a new type of weapon that can overwhelm muskets."

"Is it the one that can be used immediately?" Wu Yueyao asked immediately.

"That's right, even a farmer can become a warrior with it."

"Then how many are there? What about supplies... Is it convenient?"

Xia Fan unexpectedly took an extra look at her. Being able to ask such a question shows that she has already realized what kind of weapons a war needs.

"It can overwhelm muskets precisely because the supply is simple, no additional preparation of gunpowder is required, and only one Qi senser can provide supplies for hundreds of people." He paused, "In terms of quantity... the first batch of [-] It’s not a big problem. If your country needs more, the Bureau of Machinery Manufacturing can also increase the production scale. By the way, I remember that there is a shooting range in the villa, why don’t you experience it for yourself?”

……

When Wu Yueyao put down the air rifle, he no longer had any doubts in his heart.

Whether it is shooting speed or reloading time, this weapon is far superior to the enemy's musket. What's more, the raw material it uses to launch is actually air. This is simply perfect for the Yama kingdom with limited resources. weapons.

The increasing number of muskets and iron cannons in the hands of the Dongsheng troops has always been a worry in May. The green-faced ghosts can not be afraid of firearms, but ordinary people cannot. Most of the casualties of the resistance army come from firearms.If they stick to the city, the enemy will summon evil spirits. It can be said that in terms of methods and tactics, evil horses are overwhelmed by Dongsheng.

This air rifle gave Wu Yueyao new hope.

"Please be sure to sell it to our country - I will raise enough silver!" She immediately said.

"Money is not a problem, the key is that Jinxia can't just sit back and watch her allies be swallowed up." Ning Wanjun was secretly delighted, it seems that just after collecting the tribute money, there will be a lot of income, "I will let Mo Yun arrange to increase production. "

Chapter 400 Each according to his ability

Wu Yueyao took his hands down to carry the supplies.

Ning Wanjun convened a new meeting in the villa. Except for the Yama people, the participants were basically the original members of the previous three parties, the Bureau of Affairs, the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering, and the army.

The subject of the meeting was the reaction of Gyeonggi.

"The humble official believes that war is inevitable." Xu Sanzhong was the first to speak, "Removing the government and taking back power is no different from treason in the eyes of the imperial court. It will be a matter of time before the army suppresses the situation, and the key is time."

This is the first time that the word "rebellion" has been blatantly spoken at a high-level meeting.

Needless to say, the military are all natural supporters of Ning Wanjun, and they knew what they were going to do from the moment they followed her to leave the frontier army.

Mo Yun has the final say in the Jizao Bureau, and most of the backbone are elves, who don't care about the power disputes in Qiguo.For them, Jinxia City, which can make the New Machine Construction Bureau develop steadily and vigorously, is obviously more important than Shangyuan City, which they have never heard of.

The only thing that is more complicated is the bureau that Xia Fan founded alone.

In addition to himself, the participants included Xue Zhigeng, chief of the Privy Council, Li Gonggong, chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Hong Siqi, chief of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Xia Fan is one of the masterminds... But anyone who has worked with him can hardly tell whether it is the princess who is more rebellious or him who is more rebellious.

Eunuch Li is the princess's man.

Xue Zhigeng and Hong Siqi instantly felt the focused eyes of the crowd.

It is no surprise that such a day will come.

When Ning Wanjun led his army to sweep the Shenzhou border, they all knew it well.

It's just that on the day when the window paper was broken, the two still felt the pressure.

Once this point is clicked, there is no going back.

"I will always be loyal to Her Royal Highness Princess Guangping!" Hong Siqi replied decisively without hesitation for too long.

To be honest, his sense of guilt is relatively light.

The news of the Qixing Privy Council's Mansion has not spread in Shenzhou due to the heavy snow and road closures, but everyone in Jinxia's senior management knows it.And the sophisticated Hong Siqi realized that the imperial court that he had been elusive in the past had already existed in name only.Since the Privy Council can backstab the imperial court, why can't he?

What's more, Xia Fan is quite an interesting person. The exclusion he received here is actually much less than all the official experience in the past.

While making money, Hong Siqi had a slight illusion that he was making a big splash.

Xue Zhigeng felt completely different.
