Although Xiao Jingyi was not Emperor Liang, he was still aware of some of the measures Emperor Liang took after ascending to the throne.

To ensure the stability of the Great Liang Dynasty, tributes were paid to various dynasties every year.

"Once your actions are exposed, you will likely face retaliation from the dynasty."

"That's why I preferred to seek out Dongfang Bubai rather than you."

Hearing this, Yaoyue was deeply moved and finally didn't insist on it anymore. She rested her head in Xiao Jingyi's arms and whispered, "It's so good to have you."

..

Meanwhile, Dongfang Bubai returned to the Moon Ascent Tower.

He immediately summoned several subordinates at the Innate Realm and Grandmaster levels, gave them some instructions, and then let them leave.

After these people left, she walked to the window, stood with her hands behind her back, and looked at the scenery of Kyoto.

He smiled faintly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Jingyi, you want to become the master of this Great Liang, don't you?"

"Hehe, I'm quite curious how you'll get on."

Nothing happened in the capital of Daliang for the next few days.

Xiao Jingyi rarely had any peace and quiet. Apart from dealing with the pledges of allegiance that Mao Xiang sent back every day, he also had to see how arrogant Prince Yu had become.

It is worth mentioning that those who were manipulated by Prince Yu were all people whom Xiao Jingyi had previously sent the Embroidered Uniform Guard to threaten.

The reason these people sided with Prince Yu was also at Xiao Jingyi's behest.

However, Prince Yu was oblivious and thought he was the chosen one.

His ambitions are growing ever stronger.

But Kyoto only remained quiet for a few days before it became lively again.

Ultimately, it was because Emperor Liang wanted to hold a sacrificial ceremony, and the matters concerning the rituals caused quite a stir.

Mei Changsu, meanwhile, fueled the flames from behind the scenes, and with the help of the people he invited, a battle of wits was finally waged in the imperial court.

On that day, the Minister of Rites resigned to take responsibility.

As for the new Minister of Rites, it was Xiao Jingyi who pushed things along and found one of his own people to sit in that position.

From then on, he was in charge of four of the six ministries.

Only the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Personnel remained, and they were both men of Prince Yu.

However, to allow Prince Yu to become arrogant, Xiao Jingyi had no immediate plans to harm them.

"Without realizing it, I've accumulated over 4 points."

Looking at his panel, Xiao Jingyi rubbed his hands together.

Ever since the last lottery draw, he has developed a particular fondness for lottery draws.

So this time he saved up another 4, and of course he decided to keep drawing.

Open the lottery disc.

"Ding! Would you like to spend 1 points to participate in the lottery?"

"Yes!"

"Ding! Acquired film and television character, Tian Anye, with peak innate cultivation level, possessing the Killing God Curse, a technique that enhances buffs."

Oh?

Tian Anye?

Upon hearing the name, Xiao Jingyi paused for a moment before finally recalling the origin of Tian Anye's name.

Although he was a bit short of the peak of the Innate Realm, he had a special skill of his own.

Xiao Jingyi checked and found that the Killing God Curse required 1 points to redeem.

He clearly didn't lose out this time!

He not only acquired a martial arts technique, but also gained a talented general.

He may not be as good as Guan Yu or Dian Wei, but he is at least a capable general.

With some training, he could definitely become a great subordinate.

"good."

Xiao Jingyi nodded, and then continued with the lottery draw.

"Ding! Obtained the design blueprints for the Mo Dao (陌刀)."

"Ding! Obtained the design blueprint for the Bright Armor."

"Ding! One million shi of grain have been obtained."

Xiao Jingyi was immediately stunned when he saw what he had pulled out.

Tian Anye, design drawings for the Mo Dao (陌刀) and the Ming Guang Armor.

So, this means I'm being asked to build an army of Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) warriors?!

Xiao Jingyi thought for a moment, a hint of interest on his face.

After all, it's not impossible to create an army of Mo Dao soldiers.

It is important to know that there was such a Mo Dao (陌刀) team in history. Their fighting power was so fierce that it deterred the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty, making everyone afraid to act recklessly.

It is even said in history that "those who faced the blade of the successor were both men and horses shattered."

Look at that, isn't he arrogant?

Is he handsome?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi was tempted.

"That's perfect. My current army lacks any distinctive features. For example, the Great Qin has the Swiss Army, the Great Tang has the Xuanjia Army, and historically there have been various other types of armies such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

"Is it too much for me to form an army of Mo Dao soldiers?"

With an idea in mind, Xiao Jingyi planned to form a team to play around with later.

However, 5000 was too few. He planned to gradually build a 50000-strong army of Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword), which would then sweep across the Northern Yan kingdoms.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Jingyi accepted the reward and closed the panel.

He then instructed Jiang Huan to gather various artisans and have them work for him.

He planned to build a large arsenal so that these people could manufacture equipment and weapons for him in order to prepare for future wars.

.....

Meanwhile, Hongxiuzhao.

A man dressed in the manner of a江湖人士 (jianghu figure, someone from the martial arts world) walked in.

His face was contorted with rage as he scanned the area.

"Please come in, sir/madam."

"Hmm, call your best girls to serve me. They came all the way from the Ming Dynasty, I'm exhausted."

The man said, cursing.

Little did he know that the woman who was leading the way overheard his words and immediately took them to heart.

He then took him to a private room on the second floor.

After the woman who had led the way respectfully withdrew, she immediately went to Qin Banruo's room.

"Lord, the people from the Ming Dynasty have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Qin Banruo was taken aback. Her expression shifted slightly, and she nodded, "I understand."

"Oh, right, give this to that person to take."

As she spoke, Qin Banruo took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to the woman.

"OP, this..."

The woman hesitated upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, it's not a deadly poison. Drinking this will just make him sleep for a while."

Qin Banruo said calmly.

"Yes, I understand." The woman then left with a sense of relief.

Qin Banruo then said softly, "Xia Jiang is in real trouble this time, but who told him to offend His Highness? After this matter is settled, it will be Prince Yu's turn next."

"My mission is coming to an end soon."

Thinking that she would finally no longer have to stay by Prince Yu's side, Qin Banruo breathed a sigh of relief.

About half an hour later, the woman from before rushed to find her: "Master, the man has fainted. These are the things we found on him."

Qin Banruo took the envelope, opened it and looked at it, then feigned surprise.

"not good!"

She looked at the woman and said in a deep voice, "You all keep an eye on that person immediately. Give him his medicine every half hour. Remember, you absolutely cannot let him escape!"

After saying that, Qin Banruo left, and the place she went to...

It was the Prince Yu's residence.

"Prince Yu!"

"Prajna, why are you looking for me in the middle of the night...?"

Upon seeing Qin Banruo approaching, Prince Yu unconsciously smiled.

But before he could finish speaking, Qin Banruo said with a puzzled expression, "Prince Yu, this is a letter that a woman from Hongxiuzhao accidentally found on a person from the Ming Dynasty."

"This matter is of great importance; we urge Prince Yu to make the final decision!"

"Ok?"

Upon seeing this, Prince Yu immediately put aside his ulterior motives and accepted Qin Banruo's letter.

After he read it, his expression changed drastically. He even dropped the letter in his hand and exclaimed in horror, "Another earthquake is about to strike the Great Liang!"

This is because the letter contained information about the Sun Moon Cult, and it was written to Xia Jiang.

The gist of the message is: How is the mission I assigned you to infiltrate Daliang going? Have you completed it? I also asked Xia Jiang to arrange for a few (Li Le's) members of the Sun Moon Cult to enter the Suspended Mirror Bureau, etc.

You must know this is Xia Jiang!

The most powerful minister in the Liang Dynasty!

But now...

Thinking of this, Prince Yu felt his scalp tingle and was at a loss for what to do. He looked at Qin Banruo and asked, "Banruo, what do you think I should do now?"

Seeing this, Qin Banruo said, "Your Highness, in my opinion, this is an excellent opportunity."

"Timing? What timing?"

Prince Yu was taken aback and asked, puzzled.

"That is naturally the time for Your Highness to show your abilities. Has Your Highness forgotten what His Majesty said before? The new Crown Prince will be judged by his performance in the next two months."

Upon hearing this, Prince Yu paused for a moment, then a fiery glint flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, performance!"

"Watch my performance!"
