Chapter 174 A Dog
Why was Jiajing so crazy ? It would have been fine if he had dismissed all the officials from the aristocratic families. After all, these guys were not good people to begin with. They were all local tyrants in the past and never took him, the real emperor, seriously at all.
He also announced to the world that he would wipe out King Jiushan and the Qinglian Sect, which was a bit outrageous. After all, King Jiushan did not explicitly rebel, and he was indeed trying his best to wipe out the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates who had been wreaking havoc along the coast of the Ming Dynasty had been wiped out, and the people along the coast were very grateful to King Jiushan.
What's more, at this time King Jiushan was leading his army to conquer Japan, so it was really incomprehensible that Jiajing suddenly did this.
Is he really crazy?
Of course Jiajing was not crazy. He was a powerful emperor. It’s just that he didn’t have the strength before, so he had been enduring.
Now that he has become a god, and the Crown Prince has also become a god, he believes that the Imperial Court already has enough strength to deal with the aristocratic families, and King Jiushan is no match for the Imperial Court, so naturally he will not be polite.
In the capital city, the imperial palace, in the imperial study, Jiajing looked at Chen Jiu's memorial, then looked at the charges that Chen Jiu had people spread, and there was actually a hint of a smile on his face.
Naturally, he could tell what Chen Jiu was up to at a glance. However, it seemed that Chen Jiu had no idea what he was up to at all.
He stared at Chen Jiu's memorial and pondered it for a while, then said loudly to the outside of the door: "Send it to Marquis Wu Ding."
Marquis Wuding is not Marquis Wuan. Marquis Wuan Zheng Ying was a nobleman who devoted his life to the country and worked until his death, while Marquis Wuding Guo Xun was a villain who was obsessed with power and profit.
Jiajing was very clear about this point, and he liked to use this kind of people because they were as greedy as corrupt officials and were easy to control.
Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding , has great ambitions. He is bragging about his ancestors' achievements in order to gain the title of Duke.
He didn't know why Jiajing suddenly summoned him, but he thought it was a good thing to have the opportunity to meet the emperor, and he would not miss any opportunity.
This guy hurried over upon hearing the summons. As a terrestrial immortal, he even pretended to be out of breath from running. In front of Jiajing, he also pretended to be extremely respectful, just like a dog wagging its tail.
Jiajing stared at this guy for a while, until he pretended to catch his breath, then he said majestically: "I will appoint you as an imperial envoy, you go to Japan for me."
ah!
Can I go to Japan now?
Those earthly immortals from the aristocratic families must be furious, and the great devil Chen Jiu is probably gritting his teeth and ready to choose someone to devour. Wouldn't he be courting death if he ran over at this time?
Upon hearing this, Wuding Marquis Guo Xun's face changed, but he still said, "I dare to ask you why your majesty wants me to go to Japan."
Upon hearing this, Jiajing said with a serious face: "Go and convey my oral order to the King of Jiushan, and tell him to send troops to attack Japan immediately. He is not allowed to stop the attack until the entire Japan is conquered. If he dares to stop the attack, I will lead my troops to attack his lair!"
Oh my God, if I tell that to the devil, he will cut me into pieces!
Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, was so frightened that he could not speak.
Seeing this, Jiajing couldn't help but snorted coldly: "Why, are you afraid of death?"
Of course I am afraid of death.
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun shook his head repeatedly and said, "I am not afraid of death."
Aren't you afraid of death?
Jiajing said sternly, "Okay, take your men to Japan to keep an eye on King Jiushan for me. If he dares to stop the attack, send someone to report immediately."
Me, me, what should I do?
Wuding Hou Guo Xun was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweats.
He is clearly going against the big devil, it would be strange if the big devil doesn't kill him.
Seeing this, Jiajing smiled and said, "Don't worry, the King of Jiushan dare not do anything to you. After all, you are an imperial envoy. If he dares to do anything to you, I will definitely lead my troops to attack his lair immediately. He knows it very well. You don't have to be afraid. If you can keep an eye on him and take over the entire East this time, I will promote you to the title of Duke when you come back."
Is this Duke going to exchange his life for this?
That's not necessarily the case.
When Wuding Marquis Guo Xun heard that he was going to be promoted to Duke, he became excited. His eyes rolled and he immediately bowed and said, "Your humble servant obeys your order."
Hehe, I knew you would rack your brains to get promoted to Duke, so go and play tricks on Chen Jiu.
Jiajing immediately bestowed on him the imperial sword and seal.
Wuding Hou Guo Xun did not hesitate to bring a few trusted followers to Tongzhou Post Station, boarded the bat soldiers, and headed straight for Japan.
Chen Jiu was puzzled when he received the news.
What was the purpose of Jiajing sending an imperial envoy at this time? To appease them?
This should be unlikely. If Jiajing had thought about appeasing them, he would not have been so crazy.
Is it to force them to continue attacking Japan?
This doesn't seem likely.
What could Jiajing use to force him? At this point, they had almost fallen out. If he was forced further, it seemed that he would only be able to lead the wealthy families in rebellion!
Chen Jiu thought about it and decided to find a study room and sit there waiting.
After all, his main strategy now is to delay. The longer he can delay, the more demons and fairies he will have under his command. He may even be able to cultivate a few demon gods.
Moreover, he can use his own method of becoming a god to help many people become gods and equip them with magical weapons. Once everyone around him becomes a god and is equipped with magical weapons, he will have the victory in his grasp. It is better not to completely break off relations with him at this time.
What idea did Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, come up with after rolling his eyes?
The solution he thought of was to flatter and coax Chen Jiu. After all, it is not advisable to hit a smiling person.
Of course, if he couldn't coax her, he had a backup plan. He would just find an excuse to slip away. He could go back and make up some excuses to get away with it. After all, if he couldn't coax her, they would turn against each other and start fighting. Jiajing would never kill him for a rebel king.
In short, this is an opportunity to be promoted to Duke, and he doesn't want to miss it. No matter what, he has to come and try.
It took him most of the day to fly, from morning till around 3 p.m. before he arrived in the capital of Japan. Following Chen Jiu's orders, the Qingyang Zhang family members did not make things difficult for him, and he was soon led to a study in the Japanese imperial palace.
As soon as this guy walked into the study, he smiled and bowed, saying, "Oh, Your Majesty, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Today I finally have the honor of meeting you. Duke Wei and Duke Ding are close friends. I have long wanted to meet Your Majesty, but I have never found a suitable opportunity. This time I finally got the chance."
Are you close friends with Duke Wei and Duke Ding?
How come I haven’t heard of it?
After hearing this, Chen Jiu's expression was not so cold anymore. After all, Duke Wei and Duke Ding were his relatives.
He asked curiously, "Who are you?"
Guo Xun licked his face and smiled, "I am Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding. I am a small character, a small character. It is normal that the prince has not heard of it."
He is a marquis, why is he like a dog?
Chen Jiu raised his hand slightly and said, "My Lord, please sit down. Japanese people rarely sit on chairs. Please make do with it."
Guo Xun quickly sat down and said with a smile: "Your Highness is too polite. It is great to have a place to sit in front of you. What else do you need a chair for?"
Ugh, this guy is really annoying.
Chen Jiu said helplessly: "Tell me, what does His Majesty want you to do?"
Guo Xun's face changed, and he said with embarrassment: "Your Majesty, His Majesty wants you to lead the army to attack Japan immediately, and you are not allowed to stop. Once you stop, His Majesty will lead the army to attack Dongchang Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture, and even Qingzhou Prefecture, Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture.
Alas, no one dared to take this job. I took it because I had a good relationship with Duke Wei and Duke Ding. Your Majesty, please don't be angry. This is your Majesty's intention, not yours."
Oh, so this is what Jiajing meant.
After all this time, this guy announced to the world that he was just bluffing, forcing him to fight with the true God of Japan!
Of course, if he just stayed there and did nothing, Jiajing would most likely take action.
This is totally unnecessary. Just fight. It's no big deal. The Japanese pirates have been beaten so badly that they have no power to fight back. It will be too easy to fight them.
Jiajing might have thought that if he forced the aristocratic families to follow him in attacking Japan for the safety of his own territory, it would lead to a break between him and the aristocratic families. This guy doesn't understand the situation at all.
He didn't need to force it at all. As long as he said he would return to Ming Dynasty to fight the imperial court, these people from the aristocratic families would be so scared that they would try their best to keep him.
After all, he is the only one who can withstand the True God of Japan now, and almost all the wealth of the wealthy families has been moved to Japan. If he leaves, these guys will most likely be destroyed by the True God of Japan. Who would dare to let him go?
Besides, he doesn't need these guys to fight desperately. The way they fight is just like they are practicing formations. They don't need to fight desperately at all. These guys will still follow him to do this little thing.
Chen Jiu frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Just don't stop, right?"
Hey, is this guy so easy to talk to?
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun nodded quickly and said, "Yes, that's what your majesty meant."
This is easy.
Chen Jiu nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I will send troops tomorrow. My Lord, are you going back to report to His Majesty, or are you going with me?"
So easy to talk to!
Guo Xun was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be helpless and said, "Alas, there is no other way. His Majesty ordered me to keep an eye on it, and I have to send people back to report the battle situation every day. Your Majesty, don't worry, if you get tired during the battle, it's okay to stop and rest for a day or two. I won't report it to His Majesty."
How come you look more like a fence-sitter than the people from wealthy families?
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Lord Marquis, go and have a rest first. I will go and inform the people from the noble families and ask them to get ready."
After saying that, he waved to the Zhang family member to take him away, and then walked towards the Juxian Pavilion.
When the earthly immortals from the aristocratic families heard his telepathic message, they naturally hurried over. There were figures dancing in the sky, and the Juxian Pavilion was soon filled with earthly immortals.
Chen Jiu sat upright on the commander's chair and glanced around slowly, then said bluntly: "Jiajing sent an imperial envoy and ordered me to lead the army to attack Japan immediately, and I can't stop. If I don't stop, he will lead the army to attack Dongchang Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture, and even Qingzhou Prefecture, Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture.
What do you think? Should I go back and fight him, or should I stay here and continue to conquer Japan with everyone else?"
Oh my God, you can't leave!
What will we do if you leave?
All our belongings are in Japan now. If you leave, we will be wiped out by the true God of Japan!
The immortals from the noble families hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Your Highness, don't go back. We will continue to conquer Japan with you. It's not a big deal. There's no need to go back and fight!"
Hehe, I knew you were afraid of death.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I will stay here and lead you to continue the expedition to Japan. We will send troops tomorrow and we will take over the entire Shancheng Kingdom first."
The earth immortals from the aristocratic families nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, okay."
Chen Jiu encouraged again: "In fact, there are benefits for you to follow me to conquer Japan, right? This is Yingzhou, the spiritual energy is very rich, and I don't want the territory we conquer, you can just divide it up slowly."
That's great, we need territory.
