The Empress’s Gigolo

Chapter 720 What happened in Izumo

Although the Izumo Kingdom is the supremacy of the emperor, in fact, the City Lords of each city are inherited from the family and succeeded by their descendants, consolidating the strength of the family in a region from generation to generation.

After a few hundred years, the City Lords and local tyrants are similar.

The so-called imperial power is only a nominal title.

According to the history of China, it is almost a copy of the emperor Zhou and the princes.

It’s just that the princes are replaced by City Lords here.

Among them, the City Lords are divided into factions, and the relationship among them is extremely complicated, even if the emperor of Izumo is willing to change, it is difficult to start.

But nowadays, those City Lords who were tyrannically abused power in Izumo are having a very difficult life.

Especially in the cities on the Great Yao frontline, most of the original owners of the city do not know which rock hill where the bones were thrown.

There are very few saw that the situation was far from good, throwing everything away and running away in time, only escaped.

Everyone is shocked by the erosion of the battle.

The officials in the remaining cities are also panicking.

Especially the City Lords of several cities that almost faced Great Yao’s soldiers. Among them, two saw that the situation was far from good. They ran away early, and the rest also sent their family members away.

However, the City Lord who lost the city can be said to be no different from a falling water dog. He just ran back to Wangjing with a glimmer of hope, and was cut off by the prime minister Zheng Chengmian.

There is a strong army outside, but inside there is such a prime minister who faces many City Lord glare like a tiger watching his prey.

Even if Zheng Chengmian finally believes that Great Yao is ready to perish and Izumo, holding the last force to prepare for a desperate fight, he still doesn’t hesitate to give up the city and escape.

Running back is dead.

If you don’t run, it is also dead.

2 100 cities, nearly half of the cities are now in the hands of Great Yao.

Even the most optimistic people have an extremely sad attitude towards this war.

Not to mention these City Lords who know the strength of both sides.

Now some City Lords have begun to drink every day for fun, unscrupulously preparing to enjoy the last days. The cities are like being covered by dark clouds, and the atmosphere of despair is permeating at will.

At this time, a person appeared.

Lin Mengsheng, a young scribe in his 30s.

The clever tongue urged many City Lords to surrender to Great Yao.

There are a total of 47 cities, all between Great Yao Bingfeng and Wangjing.

It can be said that as soon as these 47 cities are opened, there will be no barriers in Wangjing other than the 3 acropolises.

Based on the comparison of the forces of Great Yao and Izumo and the current situation, surrender seems to be a wise choice, but in fact it is not.

I don’t know how many people have thought about it, but in the end they didn’t implement it.

For one thing, the reputation of Ancient Race in Izumo is really bad.

2 Come, surrender to the alien race, this is a matter of 10000 years, and future generations will not be able to lift their heads.

3 Here, someone wanted to surrender before the formation, but at that time, when the soldiers came to the city, how could Zi Donglai accept it, and they were directly killed.

4, even if they can surrender, they still have to consider those Martial Artist Experts in Izumo.

Now in the war, those people don’t know where they are hiding.

But if they surrendered and screamed in infamy, those Martial Artists would come out from somewhere to kill the City Lord Mansion up and down without knowing it, and there would be a reputation among the people.

In this way, the thought of surrender naturally can only be thought of in some people’s minds.

However, Lin Mengsheng didn’t know where he got some information about Great Yao’s current prisoner-of-war camp, inferring the changes in Ancient Race, and persuading dozens of City Lords to go to the front of the battle to see Zidong.

Ren Baqian listened to Empress and asked, “What is his purpose?”

Hearing Ren Baqian’s question, Empress’s expression immediately became weird: “It is said that his teacher and several same sects were assassinated by Zheng Chengmian on the way to Beijing…”

Ren Baqian:…

If you remember correctly, the people in the capitol did that thing, right?

If that were the case, the people in the captain’s mansion would have done a great job.

No matter what this person said is true or false, as long as these people surrender is true.

Even if this person wants to use this credit as a way to get in, so what? Great Yao really lacks such talents.

Empress has similar thoughts about this: “This person may have other plans, but I don’t like such a person.”

For Empress’s preferences, Ren Baqian feels normal.

No one likes traitors.

“A loyal official who can’t bring benefits to the 100 names, and an official who has his own careful thinking but can do things, which one does Your Majesty want to use?” Ren Baqian asked this question.

In fact, this is a problem that Empress will face sooner or later.

In the past, there were only Ancient Race people in the Imperial court and no other people could use it. Empress did not consider this issue.

It is said that the people of Ancient Race are simple, on the one hand because the people of Ancient Race are straightforward, and on the other hand, Great Yao is really poor and there are not many colorful things to make them accept baptism.

But people always change.

The same is true for Ancient Race people.

As Great Yao changes a little bit, every Ancient Race official will also have to accept this baptism test.

Not to mention Yunren and Jingclansman, Empress will be used sooner or later.

It is not a good thing for an Ancient Race to stand on top of other races.

Ren Baqian simply took this opportunity to raise this question.

Empress heard Ren Baqian’s question looking thoughtful.

“Naturally, I like to be loyal. But if I can’t complete it, I also use second. You mean this, right?” Empress said after thinking about it.

Ren Baqian applauded, “As expected of Your Majesty, I understand it at one point.”

“You seem to like to use these people? This has been the case since the Jing Clan!” Empress looked at him and said.

“Your Majesty, Although Ancient Race is loyal, it is really powerless in many things. And we have nothing to spare for such powerless officials! We can’t send ordinary 100 surnames to be officials, right? That means creating a mess. No. These people, Your Majesty must be used! Whether it is for Great Yao, or for a 100 surname!” Ren Baqian said immediately.

In all fairness, he does like to use people other than Ancient Race.

Although Ancient Race people are indeed very powerful.

But this powerful and irrelevant construction! It’s destruction!

And what he wanted to do was construction. Those who are not strong, but have good brains that make it easier for the many Jingzu and Izumo people.

But in this way, non-Ancient Race people will gradually enter the Imperial court, and they will surely form a group when facing the powerful Ancient Race.

Such a result makes him easy to be suspected, because he is not from Ancient Race, and he contributed to the situation.

This is what he has long wanted to understand.

“I understand, I won’t doubt you.” Empress sighed.

She didn’t understand.

It’s just that Great Yao has always been the Great Yao of Ancient Race people.

Such days seem to change.

Ren Baqian held Empress’s palm and passed his own temperature.

Empress’s palms are small and very soft, making him feel very comfortable every time he holds it.
