Did you actually change your mind today?
Feng Tian09 looked at him in surprise, but quickly recovered and said kindly, "My dear minister, what is your plan?"
After hearing this, Cai Yongsheng said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the army of Liang is strong, and we are naturally no match for them. Moreover, the court officials we sent to Liang were also turned away by the Liang Emperor."
"In my humble opinion, Emperor Liang's intention is very clear: he wants to fight us to the bitter end. At this point, we have reached a point of life and death."
Why not burn our bridges and fight to the death?
"Under the pretext of offering land, they hid a dagger in the map, and then had our Northern Yan's most skilled assassins attack Emperor Liang, killing him unexpectedly!"
"Whoosh!"
Cai Yongsheng's words caused an uproar among the officials, who all looked at him in disbelief.
Is this the kind of suggestion that Tsai Yung-sheng could come up with?
This is insane!
However, after thinking about it, everyone felt that this was also feasible.
But as the saying goes, high returns also mean high risks. After all, assassinations are not 100% successful. If they fail, Northern Yan will be at odds with Great Liang forever.
Seeing the hesitation among the crowd, Cai Yongsheng surveyed the entire court and said loudly, "Do you, my ministers, think that we still have a way out or room for negotiation?"
"The fact that the Liang emperor's army was pressing in on the border and that he avoided seeing our envoys already showed his attitude."
Upon hearing his words, everyone froze in place.
Only then did they realize that they had no way out.
Suddenly, someone stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Minister Cai is absolutely right. As long as Emperor Liang is not dead, the wolfish ambitions of the Great Liang will not be eliminated. I second that opinion!"
"I second that proposal!"
"I second that proposal!"
“…”
Seeing that more and more people were agreeing, Feng Tian's expression softened. Finally, he said in a deep voice, "Cai Yongsheng, you said to send assassins, so do you have any skilled assassins?"
"Your Majesty, Grandmaster, is that enough?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang's eyes lit up. He knew that in their remote places, a Grandmaster was already a figure of the highest caliber.
He then looked at Cai Yongsheng and asked, "Minister Cai, is what you're saying true?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not speak presumptuously!"
"Very well, it's your way, I grant it!"
"My esteemed ministers, let us now discuss how to implement this plan."
Afterwards, heated discussions broke out in the court. Since this concerned the life and death of the Great Liang, everyone racked their brains.
They didn't return to their respective homes until midnight.
Cai Yongsheng dragged his tired body home, but a smile appeared on his lips: "His Majesty asked me to propose an assassination of him, which must be because he needs a reasonable excuse to destroy Northern Yan."
"Now that the Emperor of Northern Yan has agreed, I don't know how to find the Grandmaster's assassin."
"Never mind, let's send it back to His Majesty first and ask him to send someone over."
As he spoke, Cai Yongsheng took out a pen and paper and, through his own channels, spread the news.
The reason he did this was because of his identity; he was Agent Twelve of the Xuan Series.
..
"My subordinates really love to use others' names and make grand pronouncements."
In the palace, Xiao Jingyi saw the message sent back by Cai Yongsheng and felt a mix of helplessness and amusement.
Previously, Marquis Yan boasted that he had 100,000 Mo Dao soldiers and 100,000 Bai Ma Yicong.
Now Cai Yongsheng is asking me to borrow the Grandmaster's subordinates again.
Well, they've got him all mobilized.
But considering that he was the one who issued the order, he didn't say much: "Reply to No. 12 of the Xuan series and tell him that the person will be setting off soon and ask him to arrange his identity."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Yongye immediately bowed and accepted the order, then slowly withdrew.
"If this plan succeeds, then announcing the assassination attempt on me by Northern Yan to the world will be a satisfactory explanation, and the destruction of Yan will be a matter of course."
In fact, Xiao Jingyi had no way to deal with this matter.
In this era, having a legitimate reason for one's actions is paramount.
For example, right now, many ministers are saying that the Northern Yan has fought enough and that they can withdraw their troops.
That's because they had no legitimate reason to attack, and the invaders were to be condemned.
The previous military campaign against Northern Yan was a self-defense counterattack.
The reason given by Northern Yan for invading Daliang was to reclaim lost territory, which is perfectly reasonable, since they were indeed attacking land that Daliang had previously seized.
Now that the Northern Yan army has been driven back, the Great Liang still lacks a justifiable reason to invade others.
So Xiao Jingyi used this plan to silence public opinion.
Even a powerful emperor like Qin Shi Huang had to find some reasons before he conquered the six kingdoms.
It's not that I'm afraid of anything, it's just that I find it troublesome.
Sometimes, some people just criticize for the sake of criticizing.
This is true both in ancient times and in modern times.
Xiao Jingyi then summoned Mao Xiang and asked him to choose a Grandmaster from the Embroidered Uniform Guard to go. In the end, Mao Xiang recommended Ji Gang.
He was also one of the commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard throughout history, and his strength was at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster level.
Xiao Jingyi left the decision to Mao Xiang to make.
And so, an "assassination" of himself began.
After he finished his work, Xiao Jingyi remembered that he seemed to have saved up enough points to get the items that would grant him 200 million consumer points.
"I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder what 200 million points will bring."
He then opened the panel.
System: Points System
Host: Xiao Jingyi
Identity: Ruler of the Great Liang Kingdom
Permissions: Level 1
Points: 378510 (10 points per minute)
Strength: Peak Grandmaster
Cultivation Method: Emperor's Scripture
Points Mall: Click to open
"37, plus the previous 50, and the more than 60 from the last two payments, this time we only need to use it all to reach 200 million."
After glancing at his points, Xiao Jingyi roughly estimated that 200 million was enough, and there might even be more.
Without saying a word, he opened the lottery panel. This time, he planned to use all his resources on the lottery, since there really weren't any good new products available recently.
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 100 million shi of grain."
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 100 Broken Crossbows and 1 Broken Arrows."
“…”
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 3000 sixth-rank soldiers."
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 20000 Rank 9 soldiers."
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 1000 third-rank soldiers."
"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 300 First-Rank Soldiers."
After firing thirty-seven shots in a row, this time the profit was small overall. There was food and horses, and more importantly, 100 more crossbows were added, which are specifically designed to deal with martial artists.
Secondly, there were more than 6.3 soldiers, of whom 5.7 were below the fourth rank, and the rest were of the fourth rank or above.
It can be said that if Xiao Jingyi's soldiers were to be drawn into this position a few more times, they would become increasingly powerful.
Apart from 300 first-rank soldiers who were added to the Imperial Guard, the rest were put into the army.
"Ding! The host has accumulated 200 million points in spending. Hidden rewards have been obtained: 1 random character card and 'Jiangshan Sheji Tu' (a special item)."
The land and its people?
Xiao Jingyi's eyes lit up, and then he looked at its description.
Jiangshan Sheji Soil: A special item, a matter of dynasty, which can replace the territory of a dynasty. It has a very magical function. After the dynasty is activated, it can change the soil quality of all the territory of the dynasty.
"It truly is an artifact of the dynasty."
"This thing should be kept inside the Zhenguo Ding (National Treasure Cauldron)."
Xiao Jingyi said happily, and then took out the Jiangshan Sheji Soil. A lump of soil with a halo appeared in front of him, which looked very spiritual.
I went up and touched it; it felt similar to ordinary soil.
But there is a magical power within it.
553 “Now, of the three necessary items for the start of the dynasty, we have two; all that’s missing is the incense.”
To initiate a new dynasty, one needs a tripod, earth, and incense.
Incense is the most important of these, as it needs to be ignited by the flow of energy to attract the arrival of the Great Dao, so ordinary incense is simply not suitable.
"I guess we'll get it after the next cumulative spending period."
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi asked the system, "System, what will be the reward for the next cumulative spending?"
"Ding! 500 million."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi's lips twitched slightly: "Alright, you're really something, each increase is bigger than the last."
However, Xiao Jingyi wasn't in a hurry, since his points were there and were increasing every minute.
He then retrieved the Jiangshan Sheji Tu (a type of land) into his system space and went to find Ren Yingying Kunjue.
.....
"hiss!"
"No way! His Majesty actually plans to assassinate Emperor Liang?!"
"This...this is too crazy."
Upon seeing the message from his own emperor, Lin Feng, the envoy from Northern Yan, read it several times in disbelief before confirming that he had not misread it.
However, considering the current situation in Northern Yan, he knew this was a last resort.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth: "Since His Majesty has made his decision, I must cooperate with him."
"But I seem to remember that the Liang court is not a monolithic entity. I can go and discuss it with them."
Soon after, Lin Feng had an idea and went to visit the residence of an official in Daliang.
Little did he know that all his actions were being observed by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Everything, including the people he met and the conversations he had, was recorded in detail in a notebook and presented to Mao Xiang.
Upon seeing Lin Feng's message, Mao Xiang sneered, "How naive! Do you think you can succeed by contacting these officials?"
But then he frowned and his face turned grim: "I never expected that there would actually be officials who wanted to collude with Lin Feng."
Mao Xiang looked at the name on the report: Wang Qianzhi.
"If I remember correctly, he's from the royal family of the Southern Territory. Perfect, my next step is to take down the royal family."
After thinking for a while, Mao Xiang put down the intelligence report and then looked at the Imperial Guard who was reporting: "Keep a close eye on Wang Qianzhi's actions."
"Yes, Commander!"
