Zheng Ming looked at him with a faint gleam in his eyes.
"I said before that I want a complete Tianmu City."
Jia Xu's heart skipped a beat, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty, please punish him."
Zheng Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, staring closely at Jia Xu.
Jia Xu has been with him for almost 30 years now, and he knows Jia Xu very well.
According to his understanding, Jia Xu is not a person who will fool him.
Moreover, Jia Xu is very good at trying to figure out people's hearts, and also knows the art of self-protection.Although Jia Xu is an extremely popular minister now, he still maintains a cautious character. In the Dali court, Jia Xu is very popular, and the cabinet has reached the sixth department, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty respect him very much.
How could such a person fool him!
Zheng Ming really couldn't figure it out.
As for Jia Xu's loyalty, Zheng Ming has no doubts, because Jia Xu's loyalty in the system has reached full value.
But the summoned characters have their own character, and sometimes they will act according to their own will.
"Why did you give up Tianmu City?" Zheng Ming asked again.
From the time when Jia Xu gave advice to Bai Qingyun for the first time, he wanted to bully Bai Qingyun, but this one actually proposed to him to abandon Tianmu City and directly attack Tongxian Dynasty.
Maybe Jia Xu didn't expect the two churches to attack Tianmu City, but at this moment his proposal is obviously to destroy Tianmu City.
Jia Xu knelt down on the ground and whispered, "Your Majesty, Tianmu City cannot stay."
"Why?" Zheng Ming asked.
"Tianmu City's reputation in the Northwest Territory is too high, as long as Tianmu City is not destroyed, Dali will not reach the top of the Northwest Territory." Jia Xu said.
Zheng Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as the strength is strong enough, so what if the reputation of Tianmu City is high?"
Jia Xu said: "Strength can only be used to conquer by force, but high reputation can make people sincerely convinced."
"If your Majesty wants to dominate the Northwest Region, what you need is not only strength, but also a high enough reputation."
Zheng Ming frowned, and said: "Then raise Dali's reputation, why do you have to give up Tianmu City?"
"Tianmu City was destroyed, and the two religions used the name of the Holy Dao League to dominate the Northwest Territory. With the methods of the two religions, they will definitely oppress the major forces in the Northwest Territory."
"Conflicts arise from this, and all forces and practitioners in the Northwest Territory will succumb to the coercion of the two religions. At that time, they need one person to stand up and turn the tide."
Jia Xu said slowly.
Zheng Ming frowned, he didn't expect Jia Xu to have such a plan.
Let the two religions reach the top in the Northwest Region first, and then Dali will pull them down. In this way, Dali will become the savior of all ethnic forces in the Northwest Region, which can be said to be a double gain of fame and fortune.
At that time, it will definitely be much easier for Dali to dominate the Northwest Region.
"But in this way, the overall strength of the Northwest Territory will drop a lot." Zheng Ming said.
Jia Xu said: "But doing so will save a lot of time. I dare say that within ten years, Dali will be able to dominate the Northwest Region."
Zheng Ming squinted his eyes, thoughtful.
"Since there is such a good plan, why don't you say it clearly? Do you have to fool me?"
He looked at Jia Xu dissatisfied.
There is no problem with Jia Xu's strategy, but the problem is why he can't do it himself.
Jia Xu smiled wryly and said, "Because I know that Your Majesty will not follow my plan."
His plan was for Dali and Zheng Ming, but the problem was that Zheng Ming would not accept his plan.
That's why he wanted to let Tianmu City be destroyed. After Tianmu City was destroyed, his plan would naturally follow the trend.
Chapter 539 Return to Tianmu City
Zheng Ming fell into silence.
Indeed, this time he will not agree with Jia Xu's plan.
"Then did you ever think of the two churches attacking Tianmu City?" He asked again.
"I really didn't think of it." Jia Xu said.
He really didn't consider the two churches attacking Tianmu City.
Originally, according to his plan, it was to push the Tongxian Dynasty into a hurry and let the Saint Dao League disband, and then the two religions would naturally not continue to talk nonsense with the Tongxian Dynasty. At that time, they could only go to Tianmu City, because as long as Tianmu City is destroyed, Only then can they control the situation in the Northwest Territories.
It's just that he didn't expect that people from the two sects would plan suspicious tactics and went to Tianmu City first.
Zheng Ming sighed lightly and said, "Get up."
Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
To be honest, he was really afraid that Zheng Ming would blame him.
"Three years' salary is not an exception." Zheng Ming said.
Although Jia Xu was planning for him and Da Li, after all, he still hid a lot of things from him, so he should be punished.
Jia Xu said, "I obey."
It's just a fine, he can still accept it.
Zheng Ming got up, and said again: "Can you confirm that people from the two religions have gone to Tianmu City?"
"My minister is [-]% sure." Jia Xu said.
Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and said, "Little Fuzi, get ready, let's go to Tianmu City."
Jia Xu bowed her head and remained silent.
He knew that even if he spoke out the plan in his heart, Zheng Ming would not act according to his plan.
Zheng Ming glanced at him and said, "Your plan is very good, but unfortunately you are a little wrong."
"In this world, the strong are respected. As long as the strength is strong enough, the prestige will naturally increase."
"Do you think I'm unwilling to give up Tianmu City just because I admire Xu Qingyang?"
"Wrong, although I appreciate Xu Qingyang, this is not the main reason why I don't want to give up Tianmu City."
"What if Tianmu City becomes the emperor of Dali?"
Zheng Ming said slowly.
Jia Xu wanted to use the two religions to help Dali remove the stone of Tianmu City, but what Zheng Ming wanted was to step on the stone of Tianmu City and let Dali climb to the top.
This has to be said about Jia Xu's limitations. Although he has extremely high resourcefulness, his layout is limited.
From the Nine Domains of Shenzhou to the ruling of the Dasheng Dynasty, Jia Xu managed countless people in his hands only by relying on his ingenuity.
However, his vision was greatly restricted when he walked out of Dali and laid out the entire Northwest Territory.
People have to change with the times and the situation. Jia Xu has been in Dali's cabinet all these years, dealing with Dali's conquest, so that his eyes are also limited to Dali.
In contrast, Zheng Ming has been focusing on the Northwest Territory and the Central Tian Territory over the years. Perhaps Zheng Ming is not as good as Jia Xu in terms of intelligence, but in terms of vision and pattern, Zheng Ming has already surpassed Jia Xu.
After receiving Zheng Ming's suggestion, Jia Xu's pupils suddenly shrank.
He is an extremely smart person, and he understood what Zheng Ming meant in an instant.
"Your Majesty is wise, it is a humble minister who is short-sighted." Jia Xu said.
Zheng Ming smiled and said, "You are not short-sighted, you are too smart."
"Smart people always have some self-righteous problems, let's change it later."
"I'll leave Qingyun City to you. When Huang Feihu comes back, you can follow him to make arrangements."
After saying that, he left slowly.
Smart people like to calculate, but sometimes they are too good at calculating and lose their minds.
This is cleverness and being mistaken by cleverness.
Looking at Zheng Ming's back, Jia Xu couldn't help laughing bitterly.
"Sure enough, Mr. Xin still has great wisdom."
Among the three callers of the Dali cabinet, Xin Qiji is the chief assistant. In terms of intelligence, Xin Qiji is not as good as Jia Xu, and even worse than Du Ruhui, but Xin Qiji sits firmly in the position of chief assistant, because Xin Qiji is diligent in political affairs.
In managing such a huge dynasty, Xin Qiji can be said to have worked hard.
When Zheng Ming left Dali, he never brought Xin Qiji by his side, not because he didn't value Xin Qiji, but because he valued Xin Qiji too much.
Dali Chaotang can do without him as the emperor, but it can't do without Xin Qiji.
Over the years, Dali has been expanding, and Xin Qiji has been learning.
When Dali occupied the monster sea area of the Demon Saint Palace, Xin Qiji summoned hundreds of sea monsters from the monster sea area within a month to understand the situation in the monster sea area, the status quo and needs of many sea monsters, and then discuss with other cabinet ministers A management system for the demon sea area has been formulated.
Today, there are almost no rebellions in the monster sea area, because the management system formulated by Xin Qiji meets the needs of the sea monsters and solves many difficulties for the sea monsters.
Otherwise, how could those sea-monsters submit to Dali so willingly.
Jia Xu said that Xin Qiji has great wisdom because Xin Qiji has been learning and accepting all external information, so that he can make the people in Dali feel the same.
……
Two days passed quietly.
Outside Tianmu City.
The disciples and soldiers of the two religions have already set up camp.
In the camp.
Luo Shang, Mo Yuan, Si Yao and others kept staring at Tianmu City.
Although they can't touch Tianmu City, they can see the scene inside Tianmu City.
At this moment, people in Tianmu City were already panicking.
The enemy is at present, the future is unknown, everyone's heart seems to be pressed by a big stone, and the atmosphere of the whole city is gloomy and depressing.
Even the city lord's mansion was filled with depressing silence.
Xu Qingyang sat in the lobby, holding a cup of tea in a daze.
At this point, all he can do is wait.
Wait for the big formation in Tianmu City to dissipate.
At that time, if there is foreign aid, then go out of the city and fight with all your strength, if there is no foreign aid, then go out of the city and fight hard.
In short, this battle is inevitable.
suddenly.
Wei Qishan hurried in from the door.
His face was full of shock and excitement.
"My lord, a flying boat has appeared outside the city, and it belongs to Da Li!"
Wei Qishan said hastily.
Xu Qingyang's eyes lit up.
"go!"
Without any hesitation, he got up and flew outside.
Suspended in mid-air, looking at the flying boat above, Xu Qingyang was full of anticipation.
It was indeed Dali's flying boat, but it was unknown who came.
"I hope Li Huang is here!"
He said with anticipation in his heart.
outside the city.
The disciples of the two religions also discovered the flying boat that appeared above Tianmu City.
"Where did the flying boat come from, dare to appear in the sky above Tianmu City at this time?"
