Chapter Two: The Marquis of Dingyuan

fe yet."As he spoke, he secretly glanced at XiaoXiao.Jiang Wang laughed, "Then I'll give it to your mother."Although they had only just met, Chuanzi knew that Jiang Wang was not a pretentious person....Huang Yixing could become a pacifier magistrate simply on reputation. In today's Yangdi, where everything is in ruins and needs rebuilding, Jiang Wang seems like he has nothing to be afraid of either.

But even so. I'm afraid Chong Xuan might have to stake everything he has accomplished, in order to make this happen.

Huang Yixing's ability to pacify the Hengyang Commandery was greatly aided by his role as the magistrate of Yang Guo Commandery, who defected from darkness to light (although this occurred after the war), carrying significant political weight.

It's easy to do something once, but difficult to do it twice.

"Why don't you go yourself" Jiang Wang asked.

Chong Xuan self-deprecatingly said: "I'm too big and conspicuous!"

"Who doesn't know that I am with you It's going to be tough to stop us."

Zhong Xuan shook his head and said, "Though you can represent me, you are not me after all."

Then Jiang Wang woke up.

The support of a pacifier and the position of a pacifier itself have vastly different effects on Chongxuan Sheng's competition within the Chongxuan family.

With Chong Xuan's strength and background, shouldn't it be easy to find support from several county governors

But in the contest between the two parties, it is a comprehensive comparison of their strength, influence, potential, status, rank, and even official positions.

If Chong Xuan could become the pacifier, with his strength and the energy of the Chong Xuan family, after a few years of pacification, the position of county magistrate would definitely be within reach.

This places him above Chong Xuanzun in terms of official rank. To this day, there's no word of Chong Xuanzun holding any position. But thinking about it, it's highly unlikely that he would directly ascend to the position of County Magistrate upon entering the bureaucracy.

Therefore, Zhong Xuan would absolutely not allow this to happen.

Once you understand the internal conflicts within the Chongxuan family, you can comprehend why Chongxuan willingly threw his full support behind Jiang Wang's ascension to power.

Having figured this out, Dao Yuan Shi had also moved all the remaining stones back into his storage pouch. Jiang Wang picked up the last jade slip from inside the pouch and returned the empty one to Chong Xuan Sheng.

As soon as I thought about it, I knew this technique was of the upper-middle rank. It is related to fire, but not in the way of fire manipulation. It is a spiritual art called Jealousy Fire.

While Dao arts of the jia level typically involve internal cultivation layers, if it involves the soul, after passing through the Hongzhuang Mirror and surviving the Feixue Tribulation, Jiang Wang still has some confidence.

At this time, Chong Xuan asked again, "Do you know who the pacifier of Chiwei County is"

Looking at him putting the empty storage box away, Jiang Wang asked, "Who was it"

“Gao Shaoling.” Chong Xuan sheng snorted, knowing that Jiang Wang might not understand, so he explained: “From Gao of Jinghai.”

Recalling that day outside the Tianfu Secret Realm, Xu Xiangqian recited a poem. It is said to have been written by the great scholar Mo Ya.

A loyal and devoted general who serves the nation with his life, even if he dies without recognition.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but sigh: "It's easy to get things done when someone is in bed!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Hahahaha." Chongxuan burst into laughter: "That's a brilliant idea!"

During the War of Annihilation, Gao of Jinghai had neither brilliant strategies nor remarkable conquests. Yet, he ended up with such a vast territory. It seems that the influence of that noble concubine Jing was quite powerful indeed.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Of course, Jing Hai Gao could take down such a large piece of the pie only with Chong Xuan Chu Liang's permission. As the sole commander in charge of the war against Yang Guo and achieving a complete victory, anyone who had designs on Yang Jing would have to go through Xionghu Tu first.

The executioner only needs to say that Gao Shaoling gave him some private advice, and his achievements would be complete.

The political exchanges during that time go without saying.

It's better if Jing Guifei can exert her influence by the emperor's side, after all, after this exchange, they can be considered on the same side.

Let's just be honest, Chong Xuan said, "This battle really made me realize that strength is the most important thing. With Yang Jiande's power and that evil creature's interference, this victory wasn't easy at all!"

Hearing the string, one knows its elegance. This fat man's avoidance of the White Bone Dao is profound, replacing it only with "that evil thing." This shows that the phrase "eternal enmity" deeply impressed him.

Although Jiang Wang was reluctant to bring up the past, he still explained to his friend: “That was the White Bone Demon God descending and possessing the body of a Daoist disciple. My hometown, Qinghe County in Fenglin City, was destroyed during His descent.”

A simple sentence, yet within it lies a tale of life and death, love and hate, too vast to fully express.

"Good brother, you and I strive to cultivate diligently. One day, we might not be able to delve into the underworld and slay this evil god!" Chongxuan patted his shoulder.

This is still quite far away.

Therefore, the fat man shifted the topic again and said, "The best option for our great general in this battle is to wait until that White Bone Devil God finishes its ritual and leaves calmly. Then we can lead our army to confront it."

Even though the war had just ended, the title "Grand Marshal" was not immediately changed.

"This actually reflects the commander's big picture thinking."

“Yeah, this might be a simple military blunder, but in the long run, it may not be wrong. However, at its core, it’s because our army is strong and has the right to make mistakes!”

"What you say makes sense. After some thought, Jiang Wang said, “In less than three generations, customs change and trends shift. This place is indeed ripe for the taking. For the state of Qi to seize Yang Guo’s territory and expand its land by three counties, this campaign has yielded considerable gains for the Grand Marshal.”

“The title of Marquis has been decided!” Chongxuan excitedly beamed: “A prestigious name, destined to be passed down through generations.”

Just this one title, the ambition of Emperor Qi and his reliance on Chong Xuan Chuliang are both revealed.

But this fat man immediately fell into despair again, clenching his fists: "This Marquis position, thirty years too late!"

Jiang Wang also always wondered, with Chong Xuan Zhu Liang's great achievements in subduing Xia back then, he should have been granted the title of Marquis.

>

However, I heard from Chongxuan that: “Back then, because of some family matters... it implicated his uncle. It left him with only brilliant achievements but ultimately he was only granted the title of Marquis of Shenghuai.”

"The two characters "be cautious" are not inherently evil, but when placed together with "killing and butchering," the warning is quite clear."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

No wonder they say that. While extinguishing Yang was a great achievement, with the strength of the state of Qi, even though Yang Jiande is difficult to deal with, Qi's court likely underestimates him. When it comes to rewarding his contributions, things probably won't be satisfactory.

Chong Xuan Zhu Liang's ability to achieve the rank of marquis in a single battle was likely due to the fact that his early achievements had not been fully rewarded, and it is also possible that Emperor Qi intended to compensate him.

"What are your plans" asked Jiang Wang.

Zhong Xuan Sheng had already thought it through: "A practical job won't get me anything good, and a title doesn't mean much. I think I should look for an opportunity to enter the Jixia Academy and learn something. The biggest difference between me and Zhong Xuan Zun right now is still in cultivation."

For Chong Xuan Sheng, his goal is the position of head of the Chong Xuan family. The head of the Chong Xuan family has always been able to inherit the title of Marquis.

The discussion of nobility has always favored hereditary titles over honorary ones. Among hereditary titles, those that are permanent and unchangeable are considered superior to ordinary hereditary titles.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The head of the Chongxuan family is a hereditary and hereditary duke, whose fiefdom is the Chongxuan family's land. His status is extraordinary. Therefore, an ordinary title, Chongxuan Sheng doesn't take it seriously.

While the Jixia Academy was Qi State's most renowned place of cultivation, it didn't belong to any particular sect or school. Instead, it belonged to the Empire itself. In this vast Qi State, numerous masters would take turns teaching there.

It is known as the "Qidi Longmen" of the world.

If one can cultivate oneself within this academy, it would be like a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate, constantly achieving transformation and rebirth.

But it is not open to the public.

Regardless of whether one is a nobleman, a prince or even an imperial descendant, only those who have made contributions to the nation can enter this academy.

"Jiang Wang asked curiously, "Everyone says that the Jixia Academy is the dragon gate of Qi. What secrets are hidden within it"

"Firstly, all major sects with disciples at the level of External Qi Realm and above must send their strongest practitioners to the Jixia Academy lecture hall for a one-month rotation each year. Any cultivator training in the Jixia Academy can ask questions and seek clarification in the lecture hall. Everyone must do their best to answer questions sincerely and thoroughly. If anyone is dishonest, insincere, or unhelpful, the questioner can report it to the academy at any time. Upon verification, severe penalties will be imposed."

"Well, that's certainly something worth celebrating!" Jiang Wang praised.

He knows all too well the hardship of not having a master.

"As for the second...," Speaking of the Jixia Academy, Chongxuan Sheng also had the pride of being a citizen of Qi: "Within the academy, the spiritual energy is abundant, needless to say, there is also the nation's prosperity flowing through it. Practicing here, even if you just sit still, you can achieve twice the results with half the effort."

...Especially for a powerful nation like Qi, what would it be like to cultivate during such a time of national prosperity

Jiang Wang couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
