First Lord of Earth

"Mr. Xueqin? Speaking of which, you have some 'acquaintances' in the Qianxia Dynasty. I believe you are very happy to see them..."

After reaching a "preaching" agreement with the wine saint Du Kang, Xia Tian turned his attention to Cao Xueqin!

Compared with Li Bai and Du Kang, Cao Xueqin should be easier to recruit.

This is because although Cao Xueqin is also a person whose skills have reached the "holy realm", he is not a "Jade White Pride" and is only a top golden hero for the time being!

Theoretically, Xia Tian can now directly take out a "pass (gold)" to allow Cao Xueqin to gain the ability to leave the Saint City.

However, as a person with a Qing Dynasty background, Cao Xueqin's living habits and interpersonal relationships are concentrated in that dynasty. His inclination is probably to enter the dynasty led by emperors such as "Yongqian".

But it is estimated that he is a little hesitant because of his "Han" identity!

That is why he has not made a decision until now.

Therefore, if you want to attract him, you naturally have to take out something different that is difficult for other territories to have.

"What, Baochai and Qingwen?"

After hearing that Xue Baochai and Qingwen, as well as Yingchun and Tanchun from the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, were all in the Qianxia Dynasty, Cao Xueqin's face showed an expression of excitement!

A novelist would undoubtedly be excited when facing the fact that the people he created became real.

Especially when the original world collapsed, and he was separated from his familiar relatives and family members, he would inevitably feel frustrated and lonely if he was alone.

If he saw the people he created in his own writing again at this time, it would undoubtedly be as kind as seeing his relatives. Moreover, whether it was Qingwen or Xue Baochai...the amount of writing Cao Xueqin poured into them was far beyond ordinary people, and they could be regarded as "daughter" characters!

Even for Cao Xueqin, who had experienced many ups and downs in his life and had some courage to see the wind and clouds, he could not help but be eager to see them.

Just like a father, after knowing the whereabouts of the daughter he raised, he would definitely want to go and see if she was doing well.

What's more, there were quite a few such daughters!

In particular, although Xue Baochai and others came from the Sea of ​​Illusion, they have now "turned from illusion to reality" and become real people with flesh and blood, just like the heroes of history.

With these heroes, even if Cao Xueqin, a father, did not directly join the Qianxia Dynasty, he would at least agree to be invited to visit once!

"In fact, the people, things, and objects in the so-called Sea of ​​Illusion may not be really illusory..."

At this time, Du Kang next to him seemed to think of something, and suddenly said something that surprised everyone.

"What, Mr. Du, are you kidding? People and things in illusion may be real..."

Xia Tian was indeed a little surprised.

"When the false is made true, the true is also false; when there is nothing, there is nothing... False and false, true and true, many things are not black and white... At least, I do vaguely remember that when I was alive, people like Laozi and Confucius had already appeared before!

The firm words of the "Wine Saint" made Xia Tian's heart surge.

The ancient myths and legends may be true, which he already knew.

Because Hou Tu, Xing Tian, ​​Emperor Ziwei, and even the treasures left by Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Yan, all proved it.

But to say that even the creatures in the "Sea of ​​Illusion" created by various literary and film and television works of the so-called human race on Earth may not belong to "nothingness" itself, this is absolutely beyond his expectation, and even a little "earth-shattering"!

Among them, it probably represents extremely important meanings!

"I don't know the specific situation yet, but I have some vague cognition. Perhaps, these mysteries can only be solved when the gods of the human race and alien races officially enter this eternal land in the future? ”

However, even Du Kang, a "saint" of the human race who lived in the Xia Dynasty and was considered to be very old, only had a slight understanding of the specific origins of the "Illusionary Sea".

"Perhaps Qinglian knows more about these... After all, many of the things you left behind are reflected in the 'Illusionary Sea'..."

Then, as if remembering something, Du Kang took the initiative to lead the topic to Li Bai.

During the conversation between the few people, Li Bai had been drinking. Du Kang poured a total of ten cups of "lotus leaf wine", and he drank half of it by himself.

"If you keep drinking like this, I'm afraid I can't bear it with my little fortune..."

Even the "wine saint" Du Kang had some complaints about the "boldness" of his good friend.

It's not that I feel sorry for him His own wine.

It is because Li Bai, as a top-level genius, has more than just this secret realm as his companion items, but many other things have been "sold" by him in exchange for raw materials for brewing wine!

But the other party always mutters something, five-colored horses, furs worth thousands of gold... even if all the gold is gone, it will come back...

It is obviously not a good thing to continue to be decadent like this.

He must find a suitable human force to realize his ambitions and bring his talents into play!

As for the so-called three difficulties before, this is not difficult.

At most, I can help deliver the "wine", and although Brother Cao's "poetry" is not top-level, it is still okay. If it doesn't work, there is still "Xiao Du" to rely on...

That is, the sword aspect is a bit difficult.

"Mr. Taibai! Your poems are as bright as the stars, illuminating the ages; your sword, although it is a pity that it did not leave its name on the battlefield, has been passed down in the rivers and lakes as an endless legend."

At this time, Xia Tian also looked at Li Bai, his tone sonorous.

"Everyone says that Taibai's talent is not only in his writing, but also in his sword. I agree!"

"I want to build a country in this eternal place, where hundreds of millions of people can inherit Chinese culture, everyone can read and write, can write articles and poems; and can wear armor and hold swords to protect the territory of the human race."

"I hope that this country will have both cultural prosperity and military strength, and peace and glory will bloom together."

These words are sincere and truly come from the heart.

"If Mr. Taibai joins, with your talent, you will be the soul of such a country, inspiring people with poems, protecting your homeland with swordsmanship, leading people's hearts, and creating brilliance together."

"I promise to set up the broadest stage for Mr. Taibai, allowing you to display your talents; your ideals and ambitions will be realized here. Your name will be remembered by hundreds of millions of lives, not just as a poet or swordsman, but as a pillar of a country and the pride of the human race!"

While speaking, Xia Tian's body had more sword energy rushing into the sky, turning into dragons surging in the surrounding sea of ​​clouds!

"This kind of sword energy? The original emperor of the human race has actually comprehended the sword energy of the holy realm..."

Cao Xueqin and Du Kang looked at each other, their eyes were surprised and pleasantly surprised.

Now, the "three conditions" originally set can be said to be self-defeating, especially Xia Tian's words, showing sincerity, there is no doubt that most of the heroes will not be able to help but "agree" in their hearts.

"Lord Xia is showing me favor."

But Li Bai's reaction was not strong.

That's right, this Qinglian layman, in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, was the focus of attention wherever he went, and even countless literati made him famous with poems!

Therefore, Xia Tian's words were just "empty", and obviously did not really touch his heart. It was difficult for him to make a top person bow down just by "mouth cannon" like Wen Tianxiang did in the past.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I can say a few words to Qinglian layman."

However, at this time, a voice suddenly sounded next to him, and it was Wang Yangming!

Xia Tian suddenly remembered something.

Yes, with his own ability, he really couldn't guarantee that he could convince Li Bai 100%, but he was not alone, but with someone!

What is Wang Yangming best at?

Psychology!

And what is the ability of psychology?

Is it just to teach people to "reach conscience and become a saint"?

Wrong, the most powerful aspect of Xinxue is that it can enlighten others and untie the shackles in others' hearts. In the face of recruiting Li Bai, Wang Yangming may be able to do more than himself.

Especially unlike those heroes in the Sea of ​​Illusion, only he knows the other person's life.

As a later person, Wang Yangming naturally knows Li Bai's life experience very well. Letting him tell the story will only be stronger than himself!

In fact, not only Wang Yangming, but also people like Zhuge Liang and Heshen... also have excellent eloquence and are fully capable of recruiting talents for King Qianxia independently.

The reason why several people did not show "talent" in this regard.

To a large extent, it is because Xia did not "decentralize" too much in this regard.

In fact, any dynasty attaches great importance to the "power of personnel" and does not want subordinates to intervene at will, especially the top-level core positions involving "palaces and armies"!

Therefore, except for a few cases where outstanding people under his command would take the initiative to recommend, those outstanding people rated as gold and jade white were almost all recruited by Xia Tian himself, but this time Xia Tian decided to delegate power and let Wang Yangming and Li Bai discuss in detail.

In fact, there is a hidden reason for doing so.

These days, Li Ru came to report that the Jinyiwei found that some disciples of Xinxue were discussing privately, saying that Zhuge Liang's suggestion in the court was to "suppress" Wang Yangming and the development of "Xinxue" in the Qianxia Dynasty!

This made Xia Tian realize something that he had overlooked before.

You know, even if the Qianxia Dynasty was counted from the original territory era, it has only been a year and a half, and the personnel composition of the entire dynasty is extremely complex.

Naturally, different "factions" will be formed around outstanding people.

For example, the soldiers of Xianzhen Camp have feelings for Gao Shun, the Golden Fire Cavalry follows Bai Qi's lead, the Wudang Flying Army resolutely executes the orders of Jiang Wei and Zhuge Liang, and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry looks forward to Lu Bu's resurrection...

Not only the army, but also the Mohist Mechanical City, Shanhe Town, and even the Lingquan Territory, Shuibo Liangshan, and the Jiaolong Clan...

The entire Qianxia Dynasty is unified on the surface.

But in fact, the factions are ten or a hundred times more complicated than the dynasties in history. This is also the inevitable result of the expansion of strength, difficulty in digestion and integration in a short period of time!

Of course, Xia Tian does not doubt the loyalty of these soldiers and craftsmen.

There are powerful characteristics such as his own "dragon among men", Zhuge Liang's "prime minister", Wen Tianxiang's "blood and blue", and the effect of the Golden Platform, which is now upgraded to a golden wonder.

The loyalty of the outstanding people in the territory can be fully guaranteed, even ordinary soldiers are highly loyal to him as a king.

However, there is an inevitable "competitive" relationship between different "factions".

Although the Qianxia Dynasty is rich in resources, it is impossible to distribute them equally.

For example, in the army.

The original five jade white rated arms received more resources than the ordinary gold arms, and the old gold arms received more resources than the five new gold arms that have been added these days!

Similarly, inside the Artisan Hall, the casting department, machinery, catering and other departments with golden talents in charge have obtained more resources than ordinary departments.

Everyone has selfishness and pursues interests, which is inevitable.

Even if Wang Yangming and Zhuge Liang, the high-level talents of the Qianxia Dynasty, may not have a certain meaning, they can easily be misinterpreted by their subordinates who "want to make progress", thus causing some trouble!

Xia Tian's personality actually prefers to practice, and does not like to worry about such things.

But this problem is that any emperor has to face, and grasp the balance, and cannot be handed over to others.

Therefore, facing Li Bai, who was too intelligent and a little "troublesome", Xia Tian chose to let Wang Yangming, the "master of the School of Mind", have a try!

"Please stop... I look forward to your visit to my Qianxia Dynasty in half a month."

Half a day later.

At the entrance of "Zuixianju·Wine Shop", Xia Tian and Wang Yangming bowed to Cao Xueqin and Du Kang who were seeing them off!

"Mr. Yangming's eloquence really makes me admire him. Even Li Bai was convinced."

Then, Xia Tian's face was obviously a little excited, and he couldn't help laughing.

"It is because of your Majesty's good management and the support of the Qianxia Dynasty that you can offer favorable conditions to recruit Qinglian Jushi."

"In addition, your Majesty's previous words have already moved Qinglian Jushi... I just further analyzed the pros and cons on this basis... Qinglian Jushi is a smart person in my China once in a thousand years, so he can naturally weigh it clearly in his mind."

"Besides, it is still a little worse. Even if I have tried my best, I can only persuade Qinglian Jushi to leave this holy city and accompany your Majesty to travel around the human forces, and then decide whether to really join!"

"If it were Zhuge Wuhou, with his eloquence, I am afraid Qinglian Jushi would have been a member of my Qianxia Dynasty."

Wang Yangming said modestly. (End of this chapter)
