I of Douluo came with a nuclear explosion

Chapter 205 Night Interview with Jiang Taibao

Chapter 205 Night Interview with Jiang Taibao

Heaven Dou Imperial City West District Taibao Taishi Mansion.

In the Huaxia region of the original world, in the process of city construction, there has been such a saying——

The east is rich and the west is expensive.

This statement also has a certain historical origin, that is, after the capital was moved to BJ City in the Ming Dynasty, the original Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal ended in Tongxian County in the east of BJ, which is today’s Tongzhou District.

Naturally, for the convenience of unloading and loading, merchants gathered in the east of the city, which formed "Dongfu".

Most of the officials don't like to associate with businessmen, so they choose the remote south of Xuanwumen, where there are more guild halls for candidates to live in—

For example, the "Huguang Guild Hall" where Zhang Juzheng lived, and Ji Xiaolan in the Qing Dynasty also stayed here.

Obviously, in that era, people thought that the XC area, full of books, was incomparable to the DC area, which was full of the smell of coins.

As for why the Heaven Dou Imperial City is laid out like this, it is also because the eastern part of the Heaven Dou Imperial City is mostly open to the major kingdoms, duchies, provinces, as well as the Wuhun Hall and the Star Luo Empire on the east for trade.

The wealth that Dongcheng brought to the Heaven Dou Empire in one year can even compare to the fiscal revenue of the two southern provinces of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Just one area in the east of the city can be compared to the power of two provinces!

The XC area is where most of the well-known soul master academies are located. For example, the former Lanba Academy, and the Thunder and Elephant Academy, the second of the five elemental academies, live here.

In addition, the senior officials of Tiandou Chaotang also chose to arrange their residences here.

"I didn't expect that Xue Ye was no longer in the palace, and the guards under him would dare to ask the whereabouts of the palace. It's really bold."

Qian Renxue strolled on the West Street with her hands behind her back, and the pedestrians around her had already been cleared away in advance by her followers.

On this trip, she did not quietly walk out of the palace with the golden crocodile.

Qian Renxue just wanted to let everyone know who she met today.

"Miss, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely poke 1 transparent holes out of them."

Snake Lance Douluo Li Xue whispered beside him.

When they just came out of the palace, those guards dared to interrogate them, and they were actually holding lanterns in the toilet——

court death!

"They are so arrogant, they must rely on something."

Following Qian Renxue, the golden crocodile in the orange python robe said calmly.

"I think the seven soul saints guarding the gate have one breath, and the fluctuations of soul power are lingering. It is the seven-in-one combined attack technique of Clear Sky School back then. Once this set of combined attack skills is practiced, the seven soul saints can have the strength to fight titled Douluo. In the case of a head-to-head battle, it is difficult for some elementary Douluo to win."

"Back then, the Haotian School's seven-in-one secret technique was still prepared for the seven elders of its own school, but it's a pity that they didn't succeed, and one elder lost his martial spirit because of it."

While speaking, Golden Crocodile glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Lianxue and She Long who were following Qian Renxue.

When he was retiring in Douluo Hall, Jin Crocodile also heard that there were two titled Douluo in Wuhun Hall whose strength had always been at the tail end of the year, and whose soul power had not broken through to the first level for five or six years.

At that time, he thought it was just a gimmick, but he didn't expect to finally see these two crouching dragons and phoenixes this time.

Also, with such strength, if you are not sent to Tiandou to do such chores, who will be sent?

She Long and Lianxue were also a little embarrassed for a while. Although the two of them have practiced hard in the past few years, the progress of their soul power is still not particularly gratifying:

Seven years ago, the two of them broke through to the level of Titled Douluo, just taking over the eight priests who were originally sent over.

Qian Daoliu made a promise to the two of them——if you two break through to Super Douluo, or help Xiaoxue complete her great cause, I will help you become regulars and become official Douluo Hall enshrined.

But now, Bloodletting's soul power level has only climbed one level, and it is now level 92.

And She Long is still standing still, still at level 91 after absorbing the ninth spirit ring.

For the two of them, it seems that helping their young lady to win the Heaven Dou Empire is much less difficult than cultivating to level 95.

"We have arrived."

Qian Renxue said softly, and she waved her hand, signaling the entourage who was about to go ahead and knock on the gate of the mansion to retreat.

With her hands behind her back, Qian Renxue walked slowly towards the gate of Jiang Jian's mansion.

There are mighty stone lions on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, and several gate guards who didn't know how to advance or retreat realized the noble status of the visitor.

They didn't recognize the prince's face, and Qian Renxue was not wearing the prince's four-clawed python robe at the moment, but the aura exuding from her body was superior to ten thousand people, so the guards did not dare to stop him in the slightest.

"My lord, my family... The master said that he didn't see anyone."

The leader of the guards said with a straight face, but he lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Qian Renxue.

"Hehe, tell Jiang Taibao that Xue Qinghe is visiting, and he will agree to see me."

Qian Renxue said indifferently, the moment the words fell, the guard leader staggered back.

His eyes widened immediately, and he tremblingly said that the prince would spare his life, and immediately opened the door to welcome Qian Renxue and others in.

Just kidding, the prince is visiting, and you still need to report and ask for instructions?

Maybe if you do it yourself, it will be really cold.

As for the recent sensitive situation in the court, he doesn't need to worry about this little guy, he just knows that this person in front of him is something he can't provoke anyway, so he should leave it to his master to deal with it.

……

Taishi Mansion · In the bedroom.

Jiang Jian finally finished processing the last local report, which had already been finalized this morning, but there were some specific rules that he needed to carefully consider.

"Xingluo asked to get more Fano silk after the spring? The price is so low? His Majesty even approved it?! What... what is the meaning of this?"

Jiang Jian frowned his already gray brows.

Silk belts have always been one of the economic pillars of Tiandou, among which the blue and white silk from Fano Province is the most famous.

Over the years, silk cloth belts have been used to exchange horses with the Star Luo Empire.

There is no way, Tiandou Empire hardly has a qualified pasture, and the Star Luo Empire itself has a vast territory, and the northern part of the country is full of high-quality natural pastures.

Their Xing Luo colt is not only extremely explosive, but also has first-class endurance. The overall strength is not inferior to the wolf colt of the northwest barbarians.

Relying on its innate natural advantages, the Star Luo Empire has a cavalry regiment of up to one million people.

Once an army of this size charged, even a Title Douluo would be crushed to pieces.

This is also why although the Star Luo Empire has fewer soul masters compared to Tiandou, and there is not even a single titled Douluo on the surface, it is considered by the Spirit Hall to be the most difficult and most terrifying enemy.

"The province of Annuo in the north has also fallen, and the two kingdoms of Baroque and Fanta have also been turned into grass! Behind all this, who else is there besides the Hall of Spirits?"

Jiang Jian heaved a long sigh, thinking that he had assisted three generations of kings during his more than sixty years in politics, Tiandou Chaotang, what kind of wind and rain has he not seen?

It's just that this time the chess game is really precarious!

"Why did the Taibao sigh so deeply at night?"

A voice sounded behind Jiang Jian, and Qian Renxue slowly walked into the woody and scholarly bedroom.

Jiang Jian's bedroom is not too big, it is about the size of a room in an ordinary family.

In the whole room, besides the bookshelves on three sides of the wall, there are books and papers stacked next to the bookshelves, and finally a 1.8-meter-long wooden bed surrounded by a [-]-meter-long wooden bed and copybooks placed by the window.

"It's a bit of a test of footwork."

Qian Renxue was muttering to herself, she moved her steps lightly, but she didn't knock down any pile of waist-high documents.

"Prince?"

Jiang Jian stared, and immediately narrowed his eyes.

He is not one of those short-sighted servants, so he naturally realizes that things are not simple.

In any dynasty, the prince could not enter and leave the palace at will.

There are many reasons, such as considering the safety of the future heirs of the empire, and the discussions of many courtiers, which will be recorded in detail in the pen of the historian.

But obviously, Xue Ye doesn't care about Qian Renxue's safety, he will only use all means and methods to guard against this civet prince.

And the prince's late-night visit to the ministers of the first dynasty is a big taboo for poking the culprit of those in power.

"Jiang Taibao, why are you so nervous? This palace will not eat you again."

Qian Renxue stopped five steps away from Jiang Jian with a smile on her face. She took out a bench from the messy bedroom and leaned on it gently.

With a relaxed face, he looked at Jiang Jian, who was standing in front of the copybook by the window, his whole body was tense.

"Is the Taibao worried about the secret visit of the palace, and the intention is unknown? Hehe, when the palace left the palace, did they report their whereabouts to the palace guards? They are quite brave."

Qian Renxue's words made Jiang Jian's face turn livid.

He realized that the prince came to visit him at night with great fanfare, just to let everyone know.

Today, the situation in Tiandou Chaotang is almost dominated by one side, and more than half of the officials have joined the prince's side. Even Jiang Jian's own disciples have many close to the prince's side. How can he, the veteran of the three dynasties, not see the situation clearly?

It's just that he is well versed in the way of being an official, that is, at any time, you can't rashly stand in line, don't join any party, and the only surefire way is to get out.

Moreover, Jiang Jian is also one of the few doers.

He is tired of intrigues with each other, and it is precisely because of the struggle of high-level power that the empire becomes sick.

In these years, Jiang Jian has been a conscientious tinkerer of the empire, and he does not covet any wealth.

The first emperor he assisted wanted to give him a vast manor, but Jiang Jian refused. He didn't want his house to occupy the place where the common people lived outside the imperial city.

In the end, the emperor forcibly bestowed him with the official position of Grand Master and allocated him a mansion in the west city, and Jiang Jian could no longer refuse.

But when the emperor prepared to assign dozens of attendants and more than a dozen beautiful maids for him, Jiang Jian resolutely refused.

He only took a few big soul masters and a cook to look after the house.

The second emperor bestowed on him the official position of Taibao, because that year, as a civil servant, he led an army to repel the attacking Xingluo army of 30 in the barren triangle in the northeast.

During the battle at that time, Cao Heng also showed his talents in war command under Jiang Jian, which is now the Cao Bing Department, which is in charge of the military and horse power in the provinces of Tiandou.

It can be said that if you win Jiang Jian, you will basically win every piece of paper and military in the Tiandou Chaotang.

"Since ancient times, the East Palace should have learned righteousness, practiced virtue, filial piety to the emperor, and comfort to the people. Is what the crown prince has done recently violated the rules and morals? Now that rebellions are rampant in the northern border, and evil spirits are rampant in the central region of the empire, the ancestral temple Bainiao Lake has been revived. The old minister thought that instead of consuming time and energy for internal affairs, it is better for the monarch and ministers to be united and united with the outside world. This is the duty of a courtier, and it is the duty of a son of man!"

Jiang Jian's eyes sparkled.

He didn't pay attention to the two figures in black robes who appeared behind Qian Renxue, nor did he feel afraid of the powerful oppression from them.

"Jiang Taibao, Tiandou has such a capable minister like you, it's really a blessing from heaven."

Qian Renxue couldn't help but look sideways, not mentioning her position, it was this loyalty and integrity that was definitely worthy of the two titles of "Tai Shi Tai Bao"——

Taishi, virtue establishes the world; Taibao, brave and fierce on the battlefield!

"The crown prince has said it before. I can't bear your praise."

Jiang Jian replied indifferently, all his actions in his life were based on his own heart, and he never bowed his head to any powerful person.

When there is a conflict of opinions, even the emperor dares to scold them when they become ruthless.

The most annoying courtiers of the emperors of all dynasties are probably Jiang Jian:

I can't say it, I can't scold, I have a bad temper, it's the smelly and hard pebbles in the latrine.

Qian Renxue wasn't angry at all, she didn't come here today to argue with Jiang Jian out of thin air, of course she knew that in terms of eloquence and debate, this person from Tiandou was at the level of Limit Douluo.

The only thing that can defeat the opponent is the real evidence and facts.

The golden jade pendant on Qian Renxue's waist flashed, and a cipher text with the pattern of flying fish appeared in Qian Renxue's hands.

She passed it forward to Jiang Jian, who also stopped talking and took the document with a frown.

Opening the sealed wax stamp, Jiang Jian took out more than a dozen pages of paper to look at, and the information that caught his eyes immediately surprised him:

July of the 5th year of Tianhe (Tianhe is Xueye's own year name).

The Duhun Squad was set up in the Duhun Forest for the purpose of assassination, spying and special treatment. Prince Xue Xing has the full authority to deal with it. The former imperial prince——

Black Goose is the leader of the Duhun team.

Tianhe in January 7.

They dealt with more than [-] people from Xingluo Merchant Brigade and more than [-] foot traders from Tiandou Fanuo and Notting provinces, placed the flags and costumes of Wuhundian around the corpse, and then sent the Imperial City Royal Army to investigate and confirmed that this was done by Wuhundian.

And let the Secretary of Xuanzheng spread among the people, and the public's impression of Wuhundian collectively declined.

……

Tianhe in January 15.

Ding Peng, the guard of Hanju Guanyuan, refused to listen to his orders and insisted on clearing the forces of the evil soul masters. He had already been beheaded by the upper and lower teams of the Capital Soul Squad, and ordered the Black Fox to take over...

……

……

Tianhe in January 21.

The Duhun Squad was dispatched to wipe out more than [-] people from the Tiandou Merchant Brigade. While cleaning up the scene, they were attacked by unknown persons. The Tiandou Squad Yiji Squad and the Royal Forest Army of the Imperial City First Battalion were all wiped out...

At present, the identity of the shooter is unknown, the Wuhun attribute is suspected to be the sword attribute, and the strength is estimated to be higher than that of Contra, so the investigation has been stopped.

……

When Jiang Jian saw this, his heart was already cold.

He didn't doubt the authenticity of the ciphertext in his hand. He also heard about it when the Duhun team was established.

In the early days of its establishment, part of the financial appropriation was issued by him.

And isn't the time and content recorded on it exactly what happened to Tiandou in the past twenty years?

Isn't the name of the person appearing on it also a change in the power class of the imperial minister?

Of course, it is not uncommon for the emperor to set up his own intelligence darknet.

But it is unforgivable that the Duhun team actually did such an inhumane thing!

What's more, in order to achieve political goals this Xue Ye even raised the butcher knife to his own countrymen——

Hundreds of thousands of innocent lives died in such a tragic way, it is really outraged by both humans and gods!
