I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

As long as you send troops to Eastern Liao, you can subtract 3000 national fortune points!

This deal is such a good deal!

And it’s not a real war, just provoking a border conflict!

A small action can ruin 3000 points of national fortune. Is there any deal more worthwhile than this?

If I use this trick to improve the country's fortune in the future, won't I be able to become an immortal immediately?

I am so smart!

The proposal to send troops to Eastern Liao to attack Northern Mang was finalized at the meeting in front of the palace.

[Initiate a war against Beimang, Great Zhou's national fortune: -3000 points! ]

Seeing the prompt, Li Tian was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.

However, a dispute broke out among the court officials at the palace meeting over the selection of envoys to the Lone Wolf Tribe.

Most court officials supported Jia Renyi, the Minister of Rites who presided over border trade in Luzhou.

The Ministry of Rites was in charge of foreign affairs, so Jia Renyi's mission as an envoy was legitimate.

However, Tang Xiaoren expressed his opposition.

"Your Majesty, Minister Jia is one of the six ministers. It is disgraceful for our Great Zhou that he personally went as an envoy to the Lone Wolf Tribe!"

"The Lone Wolf Tribe is just one of the eight tribes of the Northern Wilderness. The Ministry of Hosts and Guests also manages the affairs of the foreign vassal states. Such a small matter does not require the involvement of the Minister!"

"I think that Mr. Fan Jian, the doctor of the Ministry of Guests, is the best candidate for the envoy!"

Fan Jian?

Li Tian then remembered that wasn't this Fan Jian the one who impeached Tang Xiaoren?

It was just that Fan Jian did not submit a petition to the emperor during this incident of censors’ remonstration.

Good job, father-in-law, you know how to take personal revenge!

Li Tian was finally somewhat satisfied with Tang Xiaoren.

If you don't want to be a treacherous official, then being a powerful official will also be fine!

Powerful officials can also ruin the country's destiny!

He has also learned to attack political opponents, which is very good!

Li Tian was delighted. Since the treacherous ministers' plan to harm the country had failed, he decided to train a powerful minister.

Anyway, powerful ministers disrupting the government is also a classic drama of a foolish ruler in power!

Great, let’s do it!

So Li Tian said: "Then let Fan Jian, the doctor of the Ministry of Guests, go to the Lone Wolf Tribe as an envoy!"

His Majesty has spoken, and the meeting in front of the palace immediately reached a consensus.

The Lone Wolf Tribe requested to surrender, but it is unknown whether this is true or not.

Fan Jian, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, was sent to the Lone Wolf Tribe to investigate.

Regardless of whether the surrender was true or false, Eastern Liao launched a surprise attack on Northern Mang.

To contain the Northern Mang troops.

At the same time, the court immediately ordered Luzhou Commandery Commander Land to reorganize the army and be ready to fight at any time.

Youwuwei also dispatched two armies to immediately support Luzhou!

The combat system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was immediately activated.

Fan Jian, the Chief Guest, soon received the imperial edict.

He immediately received the order and set off for Luzhou under the escort of the Youwuwei.

At the same time, Xiao Weizi also sent out masters from the Western Factory to escort Fan Jian to Beimang.

At the same time, in the Luzhou military camp.

Rand has been training his new recruits for a long time.

After the equipment allocated by the court arrived, the morale of the new army was high.

Rand lived and ate in the military camp every day, teaching the soldiers martial arts and tactical knowledge.

And Jia Renyi's market received a constant flow of silver.

Jia Renyi was a Minister of Rites.

Rand is a new noble relative and the brother-in-law of the current emperor.

Although the governor of Luzhou had complaints, he did not dare to stop it.

With plenty of silver, Rand and the soldiers shared the joys and sorrows.

The soldiers that Rand specially selected from the local poor families already had good physical fitness.

The food is excellent and the training is good.

The new army soon gained momentum.

Rand also selected outstanding veterans and gave them intensive training.

The war horses that Jia Renyi bought from the border market were given to these veterans for use.

Trained a cavalry.

Although they cannot be compared with those riders in Beimang who have lived on horseback since childhood.

However, the cavalry of Luzhou used the best war horses and went into battle wearing armor.

The charging power is also extraordinary!

After watching this cavalry unit fight, Jia Renyi excitedly called it the "Xiaoqi Battalion"!

The training in Luzhou has just yielded results.

His Majesty's imperial edict has arrived.

The Lone Wolf Tribe requested to surrender, and both Jia Renyi and Rand were surprised.

They have had a lot of dealings with Beimang and are familiar with the situation there.

Obviously, Luzhou is the closest to Beimang, but Luzhou has not heard any news of any lone wolf wanting to surrender!

The Lone Wolf Tribe didn’t mean that at all!

This must be a conspiracy of those barbarians!

Jia Renyi and Rand were about to risk their lives to make a suggestion, but when they heard the second part of the imperial edict, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that Your Majesty doesn't trust these barbarians either.

Li Tiansheng and Jia Renyi were appointed as cabinet ministers, stationed in Luzhou, and took full control of the power of Luzhou and several surrounding prefectures and counties.

Although the Great Zhou Dynasty had military generals and nobles.

However, the Emperor Tai Huang had learned the lesson of military generals' rebellion and still only allowed civilian officials to control the front-line troops.

People in the court and the public called these cabinet ministers stationed in border areas "envoys"!

The prime minister was in charge of all frontline affairs and had the power to make arbitrary decisions on the battlefield.

Jia Renyi was very excited, even though this was a temporary position.

But if he does well, after returning to Kyoto, Jia Renyi will be able to enter the cabinet and become a real cabinet minister.

In addition to being the Duwei of Luzhou, Rand was also promoted to the commander of the Right Guard, responsible for the military affairs of the entire Luzhou.

In addition, Fan Jian, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, went to the Lone Wolf Tribe as an envoy to investigate the truth.

Seeing that the emperor was so cautious, the two felt relieved.

Moreover, the emperor handed over the entire front line to them.

This is the trust of His Majesty!

Jia Renyi and Rand were both very grateful.

The emperor was not tempted by the false reputation of Beimang's surrender, and he also appointed the front-line officials as the main generals.

This is what is called a king’s grace is as high as a mountain, and he knows how to use people well!

This kind of relationship between the monarch and his subjects is recorded in history books.

Only wise rulers in prosperous times and famous ministers and generals whose names are recorded in history can have such trust!

Jia Renyi and Rand both had the idea that a gentleman would die for his friend!

We must expose Beimang’s conspiracy!

I will never let your majesty down!

Fan Jian rode non-stop all the way, trekking through mountains and rivers to reach Guangyuan City.

After paying a visit to the Prime Minister Jia Renyi, the Luzhou Commandery Envoy Lande personally selected two personal soldiers to serve as guides for Fan Jian.

Jia Renyi also sent two officials who were proficient in the Beimang language to accompany Fan Jian to the Lone Wolf Tribe.

At the banquet in Guangyuan City, Jia Renyi took Fan Jian's hand and said:

"Master Fan, please don't think I'm too long-winded."

"Since I took charge of border trade, I have never seen the Lone Wolf Tribe have any intention of surrendering."

"The Northern Mang are cunning. I'm worried that they are pretending to surrender."

"If that's the case, you must protect yourself!"

Jia Renyi spoke these words from the bottom of his heart.

Fan Jian was a man of the imperial examination system and a man of integrity.

In the eyes of the Minister of Rites, such talents are people who can be promoted.

The only way to obtain the status of a Jinshi is through the imperial examination.

And once they obtain it, those who are Jinshis will naturally exclude those from other backgrounds.

Fan Jian was a Jinshi, and Jia Renyi was also a Jinshi.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Tang Xiaoren, was also a Jinshi.

In the eyes of these court officials, Jinshi are their real people.

The fact that Fan Jianneng was promoted to the sixth rank at this age is enough to prove his talent.

It is also possible that he will be promoted to the Minister of Six Ministries or become a Cabinet Grand Secretary in the future.
