Chapter 243: Great Chaos in the World (2)(2/2)
Bailu of Youzhou also followed closely and proclaimed himself emperor and established a country with the title of Wei.
The third person who proclaimed emperor was the Jiangtiannan of Jingzhou, and established the country as Han.
A few days later, Qin Shiyue, who was supported by the Holy Land Cihang Jianzhai, also announced that he would become emperor and establish a country with the title of Zhao.
In just two months,
The four major warlords declared independence, and some other small warlords also emerged in this. Many did not dare to be emperor, but many brave enough to declare themselves emperor.
For a moment, the Xia Empire fell apart instantly.
These successive changes directly made the Xia court in a hurry. The plan to mobilize three million troops to attack the Ming Empire was directly forced to stop, and then they frantically summoned troops to gather together.
A storm is coming.
This day,
Gu Mo just started having breakfast, and there was a guard outside the door to report: "Report to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li is asking for a meeting."
Gu Mo nodded slightly.
Soon, Li Zeqian walked in in his official uniform, bowed and said, "My minister, Li Zeqian, see Your Majesty."
"Okay, stop making these stupid things," Gu Mo waved his hand and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Li Zeqian chuckled and said, "I have eaten it."
Gu Mo nodded, signaled Li Zeqian to sit down, and asked, "I'm going to court to come to see me soon. What's wrong with me?"
Li Zeqian nodded and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, you should call yourself me now, and you can't call yourself me."
Gu Mo curled his lips and said, "Okay, I understand."
Li Zeqian: “…”
He shook his head helplessly, and Li Zeqian did not worry about Gu Mo's claim, and said, "That's right, Your Majesty, the Emperor of Wei, Bai Lu, sent an envoy to our Ming Dynasty, and the mission has arrived."
Gu Mo narrowed his eyes and said, "Did you say anything?"
Li Zeqian nodded and said, "Bai Lu intends to gather all the heroes of the world to fight against Xia. Today, the most powerful ones are the Ming, Wei, Han, and Zhao. If Bai Lu wants to form an alliance to attack Xia, he must invite the other three countries, otherwise, it will be difficult for anyone to succeed if he is less."
Gu Mo naturally understood this truth.
The current situation is that there are many vassal states with the top four.
If you want to boycott Xia,
Four powerful countries must join forces to call on other vassal states. If one of the four major players is absent, it will lead to concerns among the other three. At that time, in the battle of the alliance, each will have their own thoughts and will directly fall apart.
If one fails, you still want to form an alliance in the future.
It's almost impossible.
Gu Mo asked, "Who is the envoy?"
Li Zeqian took a sip of tea and said, "The Lord's Envoy, Wu Hetong, is rumored to be the second catastrophe heavenly being, and the deputy envoy is Dan Lingzi, the third elder of the Taiping Holy Sect, and should also be the second catastrophe heavenly being."
...
After breakfast,
Gu Mo went to court to meet with the envoys of Wei.
However, the two countries established diplomatic relations and discussed major issues like alliances. The process was very complicated, so Gu Mo could not agree on the spot. After receiving the envoy's envoy's envoy's envoy, he ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites to receive it.
The Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites specially arranged a mansion to rest for the Wei delegation.
At night,
In the residence of Honglu Temple,
Dan Lingzi, the third elder of Taiping Holy Sect, found the Lord's envoy Wu Hetong.
"Elder Wu, you should know that Mu Xi, the saint of Taiping Holy Sect, is now an official in Ming Kingdom. As a fellow disciple, I have come here, so naturally I should go and see her!" Dan Lingzi said.
Wu Hetong said in confusion: "Speaking of this, Elder Danling, you should be an elder. Logically speaking, shouldn't Prime Minister Mu come to see you on his own initiative?"
Dan Lingzi smiled embarrassedly and said, "She is a saint. In terms of status in the religion, she is actually above me, not to mention that she is now the Prime Minister of Ming Kingdom. If you want to pay a visit, I have to pay a visit!"
"Yeah?"
Wu Hetong chuckled, with a bit of joke in his eyes, and said, "It turns out that Taiping Holy Sect is such a rule. I am ignorant, so Elder Dan Ling can do it!"
Dan Lingzi went out with a gloomy face.
Taiping Holy Sect and Yunmengze are now supporting Bai Lu together, so the battle between the two sides is naturally quite large. They always look forward to the opportunity to find some unhappiness for each other.
Dan Lingzi knew in his heart,
Wu Hetong's words just said deliberately to instigate him.
However, although she knew it in her heart, she was still very unhappy.
She didn't come to Lanling City secretly, and Mu Xi was also present when she met Gu Mo in Zichen Palace today. However, after waiting for this whole day, Mu Xi didn't come to pay a visit. She felt uncomfortable in her heart, but now she was even more unhappy by Wu Hetong's sarcastic words.
soon,
She came outside Mu Xi's mansion, and with her celestial cultivation, she was like entering an uninhabited place and entering the inner courtyard.
However, as soon as she entered the inner courtyard, she saw Mu Xi sitting at the door wearing a white long skirt, with a dull expression.
"Three Elder, you are here!"
"Hmph," Dan Lingzi snorted coldly and said, "You should know why I came. Mu Xi, I have been here in Lanling City all day. Why don't you come to pay homage to me?"
Mu Xi stood up slowly and said with a calm expression: "Three Elders, please pay attention to your words. I am now the right prime minister of the Ming Kingdom, and you are the envoy of the Wei Kingdom."
Dan Lingzi's face was gloomy and said, "Mu Xi, do you know what you are talking about? Are you trying to apostate?"
Mu Xi said slowly: "Three Elder, don't say too much nonsense, just point out your purpose!"
Dan Lingzi said in a deep voice: "According to the order of the Holy Church, please ask Saint Madam Mu Xi to provide the luck of the Ming Kingdom to give back to the Holy Church."
Mu Xi shook his head slightly and said, "This may not work. The luck of the Ming Dynasty is allocated by Your Majesty. I have no right to interfere. As for the part given to me by Your Majesty, it is only enough for me to use it alone. Please ask the third elder to reply to the Holy Teaching. I can't complete this task."
Dan Lingzi snorted coldly and said, "Is the Saint going to violate the Holy Order?"
Mu Xi sighed lightly and said, "Three Elders, let's just say it clearly. I know you are from Chang Yi's lineage and want to make a fortune. There is nothing really cheap in this world. The Holy Church did not support me at all, but it was about to collect the luck of the Ming Dynasty. There is no such thing as this!"
