Mu Cangyue smiled warmly, "On the surface, she came to see me, and she also came to see the Ming Kingdom in person."

"My mother gave birth to you in the Dragon City of the Demonic Realm. She and Haihuohu are sisters who have never known each other. Haihuo took you for half a month, so you should call her aunt."

"Actually, she came to tell me that she wanted to attack the Eastern Region."

"Attack the Eastern Region?" Jiang Yao frowned.

Mu Cangyue nodded and sighed: "Now the main force of the Eastern Territory Allied Forces is still resisting the Zhou army in the Tianhuang River. The eastern defense line is extremely empty. How could Qi give up such a good opportunity?"

"She wants to carve up the Eastern Territory with the Zhou State. She will not just watch the Zhou army occupy the entire Eastern Territory."

Jiang Yao understood.

"From the standpoint of Qi State, what she did was not wrong. The Eastern Territory is the largest area of ​​the Divine Continent, second only to the Central Territory. If all were occupied by the Zhou State, then the Zhou State would account for nearly 70% of the territory of the Divine Continent and become the largest territory in the world.

A big country.”

"In this way, Qi State has Buddha Mother Sea State in the north and Zhou Dynasty in the west. The strategic situation is extremely unfavorable. It is locked in the Dongming Sea and can no longer touch the mainland."

Mu Cangyue said: "That's it. That's why she came to tell me that she wanted to secretly form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty and deal with the Zhou Kingdom together."

"She said that if Qi occupied half of the eastern region, it would have territory on the mainland, and the pressure on Zhou would be greatly increased. It would be difficult to conquer the Ming Dynasty in the west."

Jiang Yao stood up and paced back and forth for a while, "Mother promised her?"

"So what if we don't agree?" Mu Cangyue shook her head, "Whether we agree or not, she will still attack the Eastern Region."

"She has made a deal with the Kong family of the Buddhist country and is willing to temporarily have a truce with the Buddhist country in exchange for the Kong family remaining neutral."

"Kong has received enough benefits and is happy to see Qi and Zhou attack each other."

Jiang Yao also knew that what her mother said was right. The name of the sea coral was to form an alliance, but it was actually to tell the Ming Dynasty that she wanted to participate in carving up the Eastern Region.

It is impossible for Qi to watch Zhou swallow the entire eastern region and become a powerful neighbor in the west.

However, for such a large strategic move, it was impossible for Yu Kuan and other Zhou monarchs and ministers not to have prepared plans.

Objectively speaking, from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, Qi's attack on the Eastern Region was beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

But from the perspective of the Shenzhou human race, it's completely different.

But ginger medicine is not that pedantic.

The Ming Kingdom is the real hope of Shenzhou. Only the development and growth of the Ming Kingdom can represent the long-term interests of Shenzhou.

"Mom, I really hope that Qi will attack the Eastern Region." Jiang Yao said with a smile.

"If the Qi army captures half of the Eastern Region, many Eastern Region martial clans will be weakened or even deposed. It is tantamount to the demon clan purging the Eastern Region martial arts families."

"It can also contain the Zhou army and delay the Zhou army's western expedition, which is beneficial to us."

"So I agreed to her." Mu Cangyue said, "Presumably, the news of the Qi army's landing will come soon. It depends on how Yu Kan responds."

Jiang Yao sat down in front of Mu Cangyue, "Yu Kuan has been in mysterious retreat for two or three years. All major events in the Zhou Kingdom are under the control of Zhongshu Ling Nangong Lingyi."

"Nangong Lingyi is very sophisticated. It is impossible for Qi State to have no backup. Qi State will not take too many advantages. I estimate that Qi State can control six or seven counties in the Eastern Region."

Mu Cangyue nodded, played a trick, and a map immediately floated in front of her.

She pointed to the seven Haixi states in the eastern region that were close to Dongming, "It is impossible for the Qi State not to be on guard against the Confucian Buddhist Kingdom, and it is impossible to go all-out in the eastward expedition. Haihuolu will probably only be able to occupy the land of the seven Haixi states."

"In this way, the thirty-seven states in the east, the seven states in Haixi will be returned to Qi, and the remaining thirty states will be returned to Zhou. The two countries should be able to accept it with the Tiandai Mountains as the dividing line."

"In this way, Qi State has seven Haixi states and has territory on the mainland. Zhou State has thirty states in the Eastern Region, which can barely be regarded as occupying the Eastern Region."

Jiang Yao couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "Mom, this is our opportunity! Qi State and Zhou State are competing for the Eastern Territory. This battle will take at least several years. We can just change our methods and train our troops. When the time is right, we will attack the Southern Territory!

"

The mother and son discussed for a long time before Jiang Yao left Cining Palace and returned to Daming Palace.

………

Jiang Yao returned to his quiet room and then organized his thoughts.

Li Luo'er had already sent a flying message, talking about Pan Kang's investigation conclusion, focusing on Jiang Zhengyi's "Ye Emperor's Heart" great dark magical power.

If Li Luo'er hadn't been by Pan Kang's side, he didn't know how long it would have taken him to find out this.

Li Luoer said that he should find a way to refine the ninth-level Tianxin Daming Pill as soon as possible to prevent Jiang Zhengyi from using the "Ye Emperor's Heart" again.

In addition to the Tianxin Daming Pill, Li Luoer also requested to refine the Taiqing Yuanming Pill to help Pankang eliminate Dao marks.

This Li Luoer actually started to think about Pankang.

Pan Kang's previous life was the late Emperor of Chu. Pan Heng, the late Emperor of Chu, whose courtesy name was Shao, was historically known as the Immortal Emperor Shao Heng.

His most famous thing is that he suppressed the Six-Fingered Immortal, a vicious evil in troubled times. Then he divided the body and soul of the Six-Fingered Immortal into separate parts and suppressed him, thus eliminating the hidden danger of the Six-Fingered Immortal's resurrection.

However, Xianchu's vitality was severely damaged by this, and he was unable to recover. After another four or five thousand years, Immortal Emperor Shao Heng fell, and Xianchu was finally replaced by Yang Sui.

It can be seen from this that Pan Kang is indeed the person who knows the Six-Fingered Immortal best.

As for his first emperor, the late Sui Dynasty, he was far away from the era of the late Chu emperor. He only knew about the record of the Six-fingered Immortal in the "Book of Chu" and was not a party to it.

Therefore, Pankang's speculation about the Six-fingered Immortal is the most reliable.

"It turns out that the immortal ghost emperor's heavenly soul is the six-fingered immortal's heavenly soul; Jiang Zhengyi's human soul is the six-fingered immortal's human soul."

"Then what about the six-fingered immortal's earthly soul? Who inherited it?"

"The second generation Li Sui once made a deal with the Earth Soul of the Six-Fingered Immortal and signed a karmic contract. At least during that period, the Earth Soul of the Six-Fingered Immortal still existed."

"So where has the earth soul gone now?"

Jiang Yao couldn't help but have vague thoughts. Regarding the origin of the Six-Fingered Immortal, even though he had memories of two lives, he knew very little.

Even Pan Kang, who knew the Six-Fingered Immortal best, could only guess at the origin of the Six-Fingered Immortal, which was related to the even longer Great Shang Immortal Dynasty.

Pankang didn't know much more.

Jiang Yao stood up and paced back and forth in the quiet room with his hands behind his back.

The Ghost Emperor inherited the most important Heavenly Soul of Liuzhi. It can be seen that the history of her birth was probably in the late Chu and early Sui Dynasties, about 600,000 years ago.

Six hundred thousand years, which shows that the history of the Immortal Ghost Emperor is indeed extremely ancient.

A genius girl who died in her ninth life was infected with the great cause and effect, and inherited the six-fingered heavenly soul with mysterious and astonishing origins. Only then did she achieve the great mastery of the ghost path and become the immortal ghost emperor.

From then on, the ghost tribe began to rise, and they had their own ghost immortals. Before Jin Hui, the ghost tribe could cultivate up to the ghost real person at most, and no ghost tribe could become an immortal.

This is why Jinhui is called the ancestor of ghosts and immortals.

So since the Ghost Emperor has inherited Liu Zhi’s most important heavenly soul, is she Liu Zhi?

Of course not.

It can only be said that the Ghost Emperor and Liu Zhi have a deep connection, but they are not Liu Zhi. Of course, Jiang Zhengyi is not.

However, the Ghost Emperor was later suppressed by Li Tang Xianting and deprived of the power to control the Palace of Reincarnation because of the crime of "establishing a ghost kingdom without authorization".

The Reincarnation Hall, which was originally controlled by the ghost clan, was directly controlled by the Great Heavenly Master's Mansion of Li Tang Xianting.

However, the highly centralized royal power caused the biggest drawback of the legal dynasty: corruption in officialdom.

Official corruption!

When Jiang Yao thought of this, he couldn't help but shrink his eyes and stop suddenly.

He is a scholar who is proficient in history, how could he not know the details?

There were many dynasties in the history of the Immortal World. Before the Great Shang Dynasty, it was an aristocratic feudal society with many feudal states. The Immortal Emperor was just the co-lord of the princes.

During that period, the jungle laws of the fairyland were severe, the laws were rough, and the system was crude, bearing the mark of ancient times.

During that period, it was very difficult for the monks at the bottom. But the feudal era was not without its benefits. The advantage was that there was no serious corruption in government.

Because resources are privately owned by nobles at all levels, and power is privately owned by nobles, the conditions for corruption in government are very poor.

In the Shang Dynasty, the system of prefectures and states was implemented. Feudal princes and prefectures and prefectures existed in parallel, and the royal power was somewhat centralized, but overall it was still a "republic".

In the Chu Dynasty, the immortal emperors of the Pan family further promoted centralization of power and found various excuses to cut down vassals, which resulted in a significant decrease in the number of vassal states and a significant increase in the number of states and counties.

However, the Chu Dynasty still had a distinct aristocratic political flavor, and aristocratic families were very popular. It is said that there is no aristocratic family in the lower class, and there are no poor people in the upper class.

In the Sui Dynasty, based on the previous dynasty, the Yang family completely deposed the noble princes, completely implemented the state and county system, and implemented the imperial examination, becoming the first truly complete dynasty in the history of the immortal world.

This laid a solid foundation for the long-term unification of the Li Tang Xian Dynasty in later generations.

The Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui Dynasty and was also a dynasty with a complete legal system. The long rule of more than 200,000 years pushed the civilization of the immortal world to its peak and created the splendid prosperous age of the Immortal Tang Dynasty.

But Jiang Yao knew very well what the hidden worries were in the prosperous age of the Law and Order Dynasty.

It’s official rule!

Because the essence of the dynasty under the law is "the Grand Duke" and "the world is the commonwealth".

Officials selected through the imperial examination exercise the public power granted by the imperial court and the world.

It is no longer the private power of feudal princes.

Since it is public power, it is easy to "use public power for private use"! It is easy to deteriorate!

A nobleman will not be greedy for his own resources, because the resources are his own. Not only does he have no need to be greedy, but he also has to watch others grab them.
