After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 113: Fairy Mountain Overseas? Immortality?
【Same month。】

[The Pinglu Jiedushi submitted a lot of intelligence about the countries in the Western Regions.]

[He was particularly interested in the Western Regions and spent nearly a year to collect them all.]

【and.】

[In order to arouse the desire of His Majesty to conquer the Western Regions. ]

[He also specifically recorded the exploitation and toll collection of merchants by Western countries on the former Silk Road.]

[“Those small countries in the Western Regions earn more from merchants than our Yu Country!”]

【"His Majesty!"】

[“How can we tolerate this!”]

[The Pinglu Jiedushi pretended to be dissatisfied.]

[Whether it was Chen Huaixin or the Prime Minister, they could naturally see what he was thinking.]

[The Prime Minister sighed.]

【Chen Huaixin smiled indifferently. 】

【For this kind of careful thought. 】

[He naturally wouldn't be disgusted.]

[Because this actually means that no matter how much their generals want to fight, no matter how much they want to gain credit on the battlefield, they at least know the bottom line, and know that without his orders, no one can attack at will! ]

【"otherwise."】

【“Faced with these weak countries.”】

[“They can just find any excuse.”]

[“Just go and completely defeat them and occupy them!”]

[After reading the intelligence about the Western Regions, Chen Huaixin knew even more clearly how easy it would be for the soldiers under the command of these generals to destroy the country! ]

[But since they were able to restrain their impulse and not do anything that would disobey the orders of the emperor, he should give them a little sweet treat.]

【“The country cannot be held hostage by the military.”】

"But we also need to keep the troops excited."

[“Even if we conquer these small countries in the Western Regions, it will be difficult to occupy them permanently.”]

[“But let’s try relying on cultural dissemination, just like in the grasslands!”]

[“Perhaps we can achieve some kind of cultural victory in the future.”]

【Chen Huaixin thought jokingly in his heart.】

[Looking at the Pinglu Jiedushi who was full of expectation. ]

[He asked them to focus on the young monk who was heading west to seek the true scriptures.]

[“A young monk seeking the true scriptures? Why pay attention to him?”]

[The governor of Pinglu was puzzled.]

[Wait until you leave the main hall.]

[He went to the Prime Minister and wanted to ask for clarification, but the Prime Minister just looked at him and said one sentence.]

[“The monk has the pass from our Yu Country in his hand.”]

【“Pass certificate?!”】

[The governor of Pinglu suddenly realized what was going on, and excitement appeared on his face again.]

[Just as he was about to leave, the Prime Minister couldn't help but remind him that there was no need to take it down, and that a proper deterrent would be enough.]

[“After all, those places are still too far away. Even if we conquer them, it will be difficult for us to gain any benefits.”]

[“Scare them and let them be dogs in peace. This is the best option at the moment!”]

[April, the ninth year of Jingping.]

【Because Buddhism has already sent people to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures.】

[Chen Huaixin is naturally willing to give this sect that has set an example a little reward.]

[The temples in various cities are filled with more incense and Buddhist debates than before.]

【Although.】

[This is all under the control of the imperial court.]

[Even during the debate, he would occasionally quote one or two of His Majesty's words to replace the Buddha's words.]

[But this still makes Taoism extremely envious. ]

【“Buddhism will begin to flourish.”】

[“How can Taoism be left behind!”]

[“Since Buddhism went west to seek the true scriptures and the imperial court gave it some support.”] [“Then why can’t Taoism do the same?!”]

[“Those bald donkeys have the Holy Land of the West, don’t we have any immortal mountains overseas?!”]

[The current leader of Taoism directly organized his ideas into a plan and submitted it to the court, hoping to get the approval of His Majesty. ]

【but. 】

[The Prime Minister, who saw the memorial, showed some dissatisfaction on his face. ]

【"Overseas fairyland?"】

[“Do these Taoists still want to deceive Your Majesty?”]

[“You want your Majesty to go overseas to find some elixir of immortality?!”]

……

Look at the deduced future.

The generals of Chengguo showed envy on their faces.

They could all see it.

The future Yu Kingdom’s conquest of the Western Regions is about to officially begin!

“Even if.”

"The Prime Minister of the Yu Kingdom does not want the army to invade other countries."

"Because the gains from occupation are not proportional to the efforts!"

"But."

"The future Jiedushi of Pinglu."

"How can you be so obedient?"

Many generals looked at the Pinglu Jiedushi next to them.

Although the present him is not the future him, the character of this old friend has already been determined. How could it possibly change in the future!

They knew him so well!

That pass will surely become his excuse to launch one war after another against the Western Region countries!

When the Pinglu Jiedushi saw his future self looking excited, a look of jealousy emerged on his face. He wished he could swap his present self with his future self so that he could also experience the excitement of fighting!
“Why do all the good things happen to my future self? Why can’t I also experience them now?”

The Pinglu Jiedushi was already itching to do something.

But no matter how agitated their generals were, they could not cause much waves.

Prime Minister Wang Qianhe didn't care about the affairs of the Western Regions. Instead, he was somewhat interested in the Taoist proposal.

"After Buddhism was supported."

"Taoism is naturally unwilling to be outdone."

"only."

"That overseas fairy mountain...they haven't given up yet in the future?!"

Wang Qianhe thought in his heart.

Of course he knows.

Ever since the immortal disappeared.

There is a saying in Taoism that immortals have not disappeared, but are hiding in immortal mountains overseas.

In order to attract the attention of those in power, they even said that even if there were no immortals on the fairy mountains overseas, there must be treasures left behind by the immortals, such as elixirs of immortality!
If the purpose is to search for immortals, then of course not many people in power will care about it. After all, who would want the existence that once was above them to appear in this world again!
However, the latter rumor did make some emperors of Chengguo believe it, or in other words, they were willing to believe it was true, so they sent personnel to search overseas!

"but."

"For Chen Huaixin."

"He definitely wouldn't care about any overseas fairy mountains."

"This Taoist abacus..."

"But it's no use!"

Wang Qianhe was just thinking this.

however.

The deduction of the Mirror of Heaven.

But it made him freeze in place.

"Chen Huaixin is actually willing to believe what those Taoist priests say?!"

"Did he..."

"Can't escape the temptation of immortality?!"
