The Great Zheng Kingdom, Jiuzhi Royal City, and Taihe Hall!

After the morning court, it was already noon. The sun shone on the majestic hall, as if it was covered with a golden coat, looking so sacred and inviolable.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all civil and military officials had just retired from the court. Zheng Yuer sat on the dragon throne and began to review the backlog of memorials.

In the country of cultivators, due to the king's years of retreat and practice, if there is no urgent government affairs, he usually will not come to deal with the government affairs in person. Even Zheng Yuer, who is diligent in national affairs, attends court in a few times a year.

In normal circumstances, a cabinet consists of a duke and several marquises, who will take turns to handle daily government affairs. If even a duke cannot make a decision, he can only wait for the sage of King Zheng.

Today, four such memorials were placed on Zheng Yuer's imperial desk.

The Minister of Personnel reported: The Emperor Taigu broke through the realm of the Nascent Soul and was recommended by Duke Tianquan, so he requested to be appointed as Duke of the Great Zheng.

Zhu Yong eight years ago and the Zi Lei Tower Lord four years ago, after these two marquis broke through the realm of the Nascent Soul and were canonized as Dukes, the State of Zheng already had six dukes.

Two months ago, the ancient marquis went to Mangshan to ask, and was enlightened by the Wuji True King, and broke through to become the Yuanying True King. He was recommended by Duke Tianquan, who was rotating government affairs at the time, and requested that the Taiguhou be promoted to Duke of the Kingdom.

The title of the Marquis of the Great Zheng State can be approved by the six dukes and four of them jointly. It only needs to be reported to the King of Zheng. The Marquis of the Great Zheng State has exceeded 30 or more, but the Duke needs to be approved by the imperial pen. Otherwise, even if he makes great contributions, it will never be possible without the nod of King of Zheng.

Taigu Marquis is the top marquis of the Great Zheng Kingdom. He made great contributions to the Wangchuan Valley. He has made great achievements in recent years. Six years ago, he sat on a million demon mountain to resist the beast tide and assisted the Wuji Gate to capture the Lu Zun of Tianbeast Mountain. Three years ago, he rushed to the East China Sea coast of Yue Kingdom to suppress the evil dragons in the deep sea that were causing waves.

No matter what, he was qualified to be a Duke. Zheng Yuer had no reason to disagree. He immediately approved the imperial pen and served the two maids of the left and right, and immediately put the jade seal of King Zheng on the left and right.

The memorials from the Ministry of Justice were a little troublesome, which also gave Zheng Yuer a headache.

One month ago, the Duke of the French Kingdom died suddenly and did not have time to make a will.

At this moment, the Duke of the French Kingdom was not buried and buried, so the three princes competed for power, which was already a big fuss.

The current situation is somewhat similar to the Song Dynasty, which made Zheng Yuer feel alert. However, the Demon Duke of Heaven was appointed as the Minister of Justice and had already gone to the Fan Kingdom to check the cause of death, while stabilizing the chaotic situation.

Zheng Yuer did not approve of the new candidate for Duke of Fan. He just ordered the Marquis of Dingjun, Marquis of Donglai and Marquis of Baihu to go for inspection. The three Marquis of the Marquis of the Three Marquis will each form an inspection report and hand it over to her for a decision.

If you listen to both sides, you will be clear, but Zheng Yuer has to be careful about the candidates for the Duke of the vassals.

The memorials that were given by the Ministry of Revenue and the Military Department were respectively involved in the launch of the treasury and tax law reforms. These were all things that the Dukes dared not make a decision, so they submitted the memorials to the Emperor before submitting them to the imperial case.

The Minister of War reported that in recent years, the Shenwu Army has continuously expanded its troops and increased its troops. The military's strength has exceeded 800,000, and its military pay seems to be in a low position. Moreover, the equipment in the army is seriously damaged and outdated, so some of the eliminated weapons are urgently needed. In addition, the Zhennan Army wants to purchase warships and the Zhenbei Army wants to purchase spiritual horses, which all require the use of the national treasury.

The Minister of Revenue reported that the Great Zheng State has a territory of nearly a hundred states, but there are strong and weak among them. The economic development is becoming increasingly unbalanced. Some states have become more and more abundant in finances, and even officials are extravagant, while some states rely on the state treasury to make a living. The normal expenditure of officials has become a problem. For this reason, the Ministry of Revenue has formulated tax reforms and specially invited King Zheng to read the verdict.

If you are not in charge of the family, you don’t know that the food, food, food, oil and salt are expensive. These are just the daily affairs of King Zheng. It is not easy to manage the empire in hundreds of states and territories. There are always some unexpected things to happen.

These were nothing. Zheng Yuer was checking the new tax rules of the Ministry of Revenue, but at this moment, eunuchs came to report to him, and Mr. Zi Lei and the Minister of Rites met outside the hall.

The Purple Thunder Duke is the current rotating Duke. The Minister of Rites is in charge of national rules and regulations, sacrifices, imperial examinations, foreign affairs and other matters. They were all present in the morning court just now and there was nothing to report. Is there anything urgent at this time?

However, Zheng Yu'er did not dare to neglect her, and immediately ordered the eunuchs to meet with him, Xuan Zilei Duke and the Minister of Rites.

"Purple Thunder Lord, pay homage to the king!"

"Long live the life of Chu Le, the Minister of Rites, to meet the king!"

The Zi Lei Gong and the Minister of Rites stepped forward to pay tribute, but their faces looked a little ugly. Obviously something important happened.

"Two dear ministers, don't know what's going on?"

Zheng Yuer lifted the two of them out of thin air, but her expression was quite puzzled. The Purple Thunder God has always been decisive and has a character of fearlessness. What shocked him?

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has just received news that the Great Beast Kingdom in the Barbaric Spirit Realm and the Great Chu Kingdom in the Wanzi Spirit Realm have all sent envoys, and are already on the way to the Jiuzhiwang City..."

Purple Thunder Lord was originally like a fire. Before he could speak, he came forward to report it in a hurry. However, when he was talking about this, he seemed to be scruples and could no longer speak.

"The great beast country in the wilderness spiritual realm, the great Chu country in the ten thousand purple spiritual realm?"

Zheng Yuer immediately was a little confused. Although these two countries were neighbors of Da Zheng, they did not interfere with the rivers and had no intersection in recent years. At this time, the envoys were sent to come, but they didn’t know what they were doing?

"Yes!"

Chu Le, the Minister of Rites, pondered for a moment and added: "Your Majesty, the envoys of both countries are dukes, the big beast country is the rat and the pig, and the big Chu country is the painting saint and the chess saint."

"The situation is quite big, I'm afraid the person who comes is not good!"

Zheng Yuer sighed lightly, frowned slightly, and said in confusion: "At this time, the envoys of the two countries arrived unanimously. What exactly did they do when they came to Dazheng?"

"this……"

The Zi Lei Duke and the Minister of Rites looked at each other, and their faces became a little bitter, but they didn't know how to say it was good. However, the Zi Lei Duke was the Duke of the State after all, so he could only report it truthfully.

"Your Majesty, the two countries sent envoys to come, all under the banner of marriage."

Speaking of this, Zi Lei Gong was full of anger and gritted his teeth and said, "It is said that he wants to form an alliance with the Great Zheng Kingdom, and the Crown Prince of Da Chu and the Crown Prince of Da Beast must marry... and marry Princess Phoenix."

"What?"

Zheng Yuer's face changed drastically. She couldn't help but take two steps back, and the memorial in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"It's too much to deceive people!"

An uncontrollable anger made the Hall of Supreme Harmony buzz. The palace maids and eunuchs who served the left and right were so scared that they knelt on the ground. They had never seen the king so angry.

The prince of Da Chu was a famous waste prince in Xuanhuang Continent. He lived for eight hundred years but only had the early stage of the Golden Pill. Princess Phoenix is ​​a beautiful girl from heaven, but how could she be betrothed to such a waste?

Although the prince of the Great Beast is not weak in talent and is about to enter the eighth level transformation, he is the status of a beast, so it is even more impossible to marry him.

How could these two toads be matched with phoenixes? Such a delusional idea is simply a big deal.

The King of Chu and the Beast King are really too slandering and don’t take the Great Zheng Kingdom seriously?

Not to mention Zheng Yu'er, Zi Lei Gong looked angry and couldn't help but act cruelly.

"King, these four envoys from neighboring countries are still on the way. Why not wait until they come to Jiuzhiwang City, and then we..."

When he said this, he stretched out his palm and wiped it around his neck, and the intention was obviously nothing.

"No...is not right!"

The Minister of Rites was a Confucian scholar and was once a teacher at the Saint Confucian School of Rites, but his thoughts were obviously more pedantic.

"Even if the two countries are fighting, they will not be killed... and the envoy will not be killed, let alone..."

He did not finish his words, but Zheng Yuer understood the meaning of the words. Da Chu and Da Beast first politely and then soldiered, and did not launch a war against Da Zheng. If he really killed the two envoys, he would probably face the anger of the two major cultivation countries at the same time.

At that time, war will inevitably occur, and the Great Zheng State will face two fronts.

However, at this time, Zheng Yuer thought a little deeper. Da Chu and the big beast came in unison, both under the banner of marriage, saying that there was no one behind the scenes causing the wind and waves, which was absolutely impossible.

The Great Chu Kingdom in the Wanzi Spirit Realm is the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty in the Middle Earth, but the Barbaric Spirit Realm is a supporter of the Ximang Dynasty. It is hard to say that there is no shadow of the two major dynasties in Tang Mang.

Twenty years ago, the Bianhuang Spirit Realm was a separatist situation of the Southern Qin and Northern Rong. The Darong Kingdom was the front pawn of the Mang Dynasty, and the Daqin Kingdom was the chess piece of the Tang Dynasty. Now the two countries have disappeared, and the Bianhuang Spirit Realm all belonged to the Dazheng Kingdom.

In this way, new questions arise, what exactly does the Great Zheng Kingdom belong to?

If it is nothing in normal times, the two dynasties of Tang Mang have been ready to fight in the past two years and have the ambition to annex each other. The Bianhuang Spirit Realm is likely to become their new struggle point.

Therefore, this so-called farce of marriage is likely to be a test of the two dynasties, and both of them handed over the olive branches they solicited to the Great Zheng State.

Da Chu and Da Beast Kingdom, Da Zheng must choose one, which will determine the camp to which it belongs.

It is absolutely impossible to kill the four envoys, and the consequences are not something that Da Zheng can bear, but of course marriage is even more impossible.

She is not only the king of Zheng State, but more importantly, a mother who will never regard her daughter as a victim of politics.

When Zheng Yuer thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little headache. After sighing, she sent the order with a serious expression.

"Purple Thunder Lord, immediately summon all the Dukes. When the envoys of the two countries arrive at the royal city, you should calm them down for the time being and wait for the king's instructions before making a decision."

The Purple Thunder King immediately agreed to the promise that it was related to the life and death of Da Zheng. Of course, he did not dare to be careless. It was obviously safer to summon all the dukes to the royal city at this time.

"Come!"

Zheng Yu'er pondered for a moment and immediately sent an order to the emperor.

"Prepare, set off tomorrow and head to Wuji Gate of Mangshan."
