To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 493: Chapter 244: Plotting to Seize the Throne

Lu Yuan felt a little worried in his heart.

At this moment, it was hard to settle down, and he didn’t want to start another war.

Now, there are millions of people in the country who have not been resettled, and just taking care of these immigrants requires a lot of money and grain.

The newly reorganized army of 240,000 also needs time to train and form combat effectiveness.

Moreover, Zhou Qing has just been affected by the Immortal Spirit and needs a long time to adapt and transform. It will take at least five or six years for him to break through the Innate Realm.

Which of these issues does not require a stable environment to complete?

If the world becomes chaotic at this time, Lu Yuan’s original plan to recuperate for five or ten years will be in vain.

Without digesting the above achievements, both the immigrants and the reorganized army will become burdens.

Changsha country needs to face the dangers coming from all around with these burdens.

Zhou Qing will also not have time to grow and will have to face countless Inborn Grandmasters.

‘The world is full of hardships.’

Thinking of these concerns, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

The Wuan Marquis is dead.

The lack of this mainstay in Yue Country weakens its strength, which should have been a good thing for Changsha Country.

But under the current situation, it has become a risky and unknown matter.

The changes in the world are truly unpredictable.

‘No matter what, it’s all in the future.’

Lu Yuan reluctantly sighed, put away his shock, and nodded solemnly to the messenger: “I never thought that the Wuan Marquis would pass away at this time. Last year, during the Northern Expedition, I met him, and he was full of spirits.

In just two or three months, the world has changed so much.

Messenger, don’t worry. Please go back and tell the Heavenly Son and the Wuan Marquis’ family that Changsha Country will send a Messenger to mourn him.”

Despite the fact that both sides belong to different factions, even adversaries.

But for the Wuan Marquis himself, for this contemporary Military God, Lu Yuan admires him.

Since the Northern Expedition, although the United Army seemed to have been defeated by Lu Yuan’s two surprise attacks, that situation was completely reversed.

But substantially.

The strategies for these two surprise attacks were both from the Wuan Marquis. It was the opponent’s plan that allowed Lu Yuan to execute it.

And even if Lu Yuan made many achievements during the execution, it is ultimately only part of the side army.

If the Wuan Marquis hadn’t single-handedly confronted the main force of the Zhou people on the battlefield, even if Lu Yuan wanted to launch a surprise attack and succeeded, the subsequent miraculous effects wouldn’t have been achieved.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the battle of the Northern Expedition, Lu Yuan’s achievements and performances were the most eye-catching.

But the contributions made by the Wuan Marquis as the supreme commander of the great army cannot be denied.

After all, based on Lu Yuan’s actual experience, he admired and recognized the abilities and achievements of the Wuan Marquis and admitted that there was still some gap between them.

As a junior who had once shared the same status with such a senior, it was only right and proper for Lu Yuan to send someone to mourn him.

Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s response, the messenger below bowed: “Your Majesty is magnanimous and generous. Since this is the case, I will take my leave and return to the court. Jinling City and Bai Residence will clean up their guest rooms to welcome Your Majesty’s messenger.”

Lu Yuan nodded: “Safe travels, messenger.”

After the messenger left,

Lu Yuan thought alone in the hall for a moment and then summoned Honglu Temple’s Yang Mansion official, Chang Huai Ren.

Honglu Temple was mainly responsible for managing the affairs of various ethnic groups within Changsha Country, overseeing diplomacy, and funeral rites. In general, you can consider it the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Changsha Country.

“Paying respects to Your Majesty.”

Chang Huai Ren arrived at the hall hurriedly after receiving the order, and bowed as he entered.

“Rise.”

Lu Yuan nodded and said: “You are the head of the Honglu Temple, responsible for its affairs. With the arrival of the Yue Country envoy, you must already know the purpose of their visit.

The reason for summoning you here is to arrange a suitable envoy to go to Jinling City to mourn Wuan Marquis.”

As the foreign ministry of Changsha Country, when envoys from other countries arrive, the Honglu Temple is responsible for reception.

The intentions and etiquette of envoys from various countries will be coordinated and inquired by the Honglu Temple first.

Therefore, Chang Huai Ren knew about the envoy from Yue Country reporting the funeral earlier than Lu Yuan.

Already prepared for this matter, he immediately responded after hearing the inquiry: “Your Majesty, Li Tingjing, who works in the Bureau of Guests, is quick-witted, eloquent, and knowledgeable in etiquette. He is fully capable of undertaking this important task.”

“Li Tingjing?”

Hearing this name, Lu Yuan thought for a moment and vaguely remembered him.

It seemed that when he was in Shaoyang Prefecture, Li Tingjing was an upright Scholar working under Cui Changqing in the ceremony department. He had a pretty good relationship with Sun Siwen and had been to Sun Residence to drink. He had met Lu Yuan once.

At that time, he was just a ninth-grade official. Unexpectedly, in the few years since the establishment of Changsha Country, he has also become a sixth-grade official in his own administration.

With Cui Changqing’s and Sun Siwen’s recommendation, Lu Yuan naturally trusts Li Tingjing’s abilities and conduct.

So after hearing the recommendation, he nodded and said: “Then choose him.”

Having arranged the mourning envoy, Lu Yuan didn’t let Chang Huai Ren leave immediately. Instead, he continued: “Besides selecting an envoy to mourn the Wuan Marquis, there is another matter I need to discuss with you.”
