Chapter 489: Arranged Clearly
The purpose of the Zhongzhou Dynasty in establishing the Zongguo was to allow its people to experience the feeling of holding the dynasty's fortune in their hands.
Let's also stir up some internal strife.
Otherwise, people will gradually lose their spirit once they realize they can no longer expand their territory.
Zongguo is not a country that just anyone can mess with.
To establish a kingdom on their territory, one must possess certain abilities or qualifications. For example, one's ancestors must have followed the previous emperor into the pass and made great contributions in battle; or one must be a powerful figure with a name and title in the dynasty... In short, one must have a "brand name".
Let these families of meritorious officials and generals, who worship the strong, also become rulers instead of "subjects." Although there is no difference, the title of "ruler" sounds better than "subject."
Moreover, once a vassal state grows strong enough and its dynasty's fortune becomes large enough...
The Central Plains Dynasty can then intervene, using the fortune of the major states as nourishment to enhance its own national destiny!
The fortune of a vassal state is closely linked to the fortune of the Central Plains Dynasty. The fortune of Yanluo State... or rather, the fortune of all vassal states is derived from the "fortune and position" bestowed by the Central Plains Dynasty!
therefore.
The Emperor of Zhongzhou can easily control each vassal state. As long as the "positional mark" on the vassal state's fortune is erased, the fortune blessing will collapse and disappear in an instant!
Those connected to the fate of the nation—the ruler, his ministers, and his generals—will suffer heavy blows.
Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty could sit idly by and watch as certain major states grew increasingly powerful, without any concern. If it were worried that the fortunes of these major states were growing too rapidly, potentially defying the natural order and turning the tables, all it would do was give them a small warning, and they would know their limits and obey.
Then, these large states could no longer expand and enhance their national fortune; instead, they could only be used as bloodsuckers by the Central Plains Dynasty.
Although Yanluo Kingdom is small, it probably had some strength in the past.
However, things have become increasingly sluggish, and now they've been forced to give up.
However, this method of "raising poisonous insects" and internal strife gave Qin Yiyao an opportunity!
She could easily replace the Central Plains Dynasty and become the new emperor who bestowed upon the ancestral kingdom the title of "dynastic successor"!
How to do it is actually quite simple.
That is, she conquers each vassal state, absorbs all the power of fortune into her own dynasty's fortune, and then she can bestow the dynasty's title, replace the Central Plains Dynasty, and make them completely lose control over the vassal states!
after all.
The fortunes of these vassal states were all blessed by the fortunes of the Central Plains Dynasty.
One glory and one glory.
The mutual devouring of these national fortunes does not affect the Central Plains Dynasty. With the influence of "dynastic fortune and position," even if these "insects" fight each other to the end, these fortunes will not harm the Central Plains Dynasty itself.
However, if an outsider conquers the ancestral kingdom and devours its fortune, it will immediately damage the national destiny and fortune of the Central Plains Dynasty!
Therefore, such poaching will definitely be met with a strong response from the other party.
However, Qin Yiyao wasn't worried at all.
She was extremely experienced in dealing with this kind of tactic. She only needed to retain a small portion of the national fortune she had conquered, and incidentally, also keep the "positional mark," to deceive the Central Plains Dynasty completely, so that they would never discover that the national fortune under her control had long been devoured by someone else!
As for the remaining little bit...
He simply suppressed it with his own fortune and luck, treating it as nourishment, and then absorbed it all at once when the time came to truly reveal his hand!
If the mark of one's position does not disappear, the national fortune of the Central Plains Dynasty will not be affected; at most, the fortune of the ancestral state will be weakened considerably.
But as long as the Emperor of Zhongzhou doesn't know that this is because someone is trying to poach his talent...
He would absolutely not care why the fortunes of these small kingdoms were weakening.
As the emperor, he only cares about the fortunes of the most powerful major kingdoms, whether they can be used by him and continue to be drained of his life force. As for the smaller kingdoms, they are gone if they are gone, as long as they are taken down by "his own people", it doesn't matter.
If the Gu worms are about to die, then just raise new ones and continue the internal strife.
Although Qin Yiyao had never met the Emperor of Zhongzhou, she already knew what the Emperor was thinking from this so-called "Zongguo" system.
She was happy to see this situation.
Isn't this giving her a chance to play dirty tricks?
Since the opportunity has been presented to me, if I don't seize it, I would truly be letting down my reputation from my past life and my good master in this life.
Once she has devoured all the fortunes of these weak kingdoms, they will break free from the control of the Central Plains Dynasty and become her forces.
Next up are the medium-sized vassal states.
And when her power has taken root and the Central Plains Dynasty truly realizes something is wrong, that will be the time for Qin Yiyao to lay her cards on the table!
Until then.
A fierce and brutal battle is inevitable in the Central Plains!
They would not tolerate themselves as "usurpers of destiny," nor would she tolerate Yun Chao, the thief who stole her destiny and reputation.
However, that was a long time later.
Qin Yiyao mentally rehearsed all of this, and if nothing went wrong, this is probably how things would develop!
At this stage.
Of course, you still have to hide yourself.
Her dynasty's fortune is not strong enough, and her strength is not as great as that of the Central Plains Emperor. If she were to go head-to-head with the Central Plains Dynasty now, she would definitely not have a good outcome.
With a handsome and kind master by her side, she wasn't worried about her life, but once the plan was exposed, all her efforts would be in vain, essentially wasting a lot of time. Furthermore...
I made a solemn promise to my master back then.
If he were to suffer a humiliating defeat, wouldn't he be utterly disgracing him?
Of course, her master didn't dislike her.
But Qin Yiyao never hesitated to criticize herself.
"Take all of these. The Yanluo Kingdom I want is not a weak kingdom that survives by pretending to be weak and innocent!"
As her thoughts returned, Qin Yiyao sat on the throne in the Yanluo Palace, pointing to the pile of magical treasures, weapons, pills, military formations, and spells below...
Mo Qian and the courtiers were all stunned.
Among the pile of things she threw out, even the lowest-grade magical weapons and halberds were of the Earth grade, which is among the "lower four grades"!
The most powerful ones are at least Saint-grade, and even close to Emperor-grade!
Even the pills were all grade six or seven. Looking around, Mo Qian didn't even see any grade five pills. Maybe grade five pills weren't even worthy of being put into her spatial ring!
No, girl, are you that rich?
The most prized treasures in Yanluo Kingdom's treasury are only of the Heavenly grade!
As for the pill inventory, the best one is only an eighth-grade pill, and it's the kind with mediocre effects that don't help much with cultivation.
There's no way around it; our ancestors were never truly wealthy, and they were always getting beaten up. Every time they were beaten, their treasures were plundered. Now, just being able to hold onto this legacy by playing the victim is already a nerve-wracking thing.
But her new queen is truly an extraordinary little rich woman!
She could throw out hundreds of these things in the blink of an eye, like disposable junk. She could probably feed them to dogs or give them to beggars without batting an eye.
"This... I humbly request Your Majesty's clarification!"
Mo Qian immediately clasped his hands in a salute. "You must provide me with a capable and skilled fighting force within a month."
"If you do well, I have a much better reward for you than this pile of stuff; if you don't..."
Qin Yiyao spoke in a very indifferent tone.
She doesn't need to explain what the punishment will be for not doing well.
Sometimes you can't say everything; you need to give your subordinates some space to think independently, and then they can imagine all sorts of terrible consequences.
She has to make people think she's cruel and ruthless enough.
