I was imprisoned by the Empress at the beginning, and I was secretly invincible

"Reduce the feudal lords?"

The empress's move caused a huge response inside and outside the court, and even the jailers of the Heavenly Prison were discussing it privately.

When Jiang Hao heard the news from Ying Yao, he was also surprised for a while.

As a former ruler, Jiang Hao naturally knew that the problem of feudal lords had a long history in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The main reason was that the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was too vast. In order to suppress the local areas and ensure the ruling status of the Ji family, the emperors of all dynasties generally chose to enfeoff feudal lords.

This policy did play a lot of roles in the stability of the dynasty, but as the strength of the feudal lords grew, it gradually evolved into a problem of being too big to be eliminated.

However, the Great Zhou Dynasty has existed for so many years, and there are already more than one or two internal problems.

For example, the sects and sects have been separatist, the aristocratic families have monopolized the local areas, the border troops are everywhere, and even the court officials are corrupt...

In Jiang Hao's view, these problems are much more serious than the feudal lords.

Jiang Hao really couldn't understand why the empress Ji Luoyao suddenly raised the banner of "cutting down the vassal states" at this time. If it was just to deal with the King of Yan, there should be no need for this.

Of course, it's not that cutting down the vassal states is not possible, but it's a question of priority.

If the cutting down of the vassal states is successful, it will naturally greatly strengthen the centralization of power and increase the prestige of the monarch, and there are countless benefits.

But the problem is that those vassal states are not lambs to be slaughtered. Although they don't show their strength on weekdays, once the court wants to dig up their roots, how can they not fight desperately?

Once the cutting down of the vassal states fails, the problem will be very serious.

At the least, the prestige of the court will be greatly lost, and the restraint on the local areas will be greatly reduced.

At the worst, the dynasty will collapse and the world will be in chaos.

In a sense, the act of cutting down the vassal states is a complete gamble.

As for the chances of the court winning this gamble...

According to Jiang Hao's estimation, if no other forces intervene, the court and the vassal kings should have a 70% to 80% chance of winning.

After all, he had been in charge of the court for so many years before, and he had accumulated a lot of wealth.

However, the premise of all this is that Ji Luoyao does not interfere.

Based on Jiang Hao's understanding of her, if she insists on directing it personally, then... the chance of winning is at most 50%!

"But whether it succeeds or fails, it's none of my business..."

Jiang Hao's expression was calm, and he didn't take it too seriously.

He only wanted to seek immortality now.

As for the specific method of seeking immortality, it's very simple... sleeping.

No, to be precise, it should be practicing while sleeping.

"Sleeping Dragon" is indeed a longevity method beyond the heaven level. The effect of practicing is so amazing that Jiang Hao now wants to immerse himself in it for 24 hours a day.

Relying on the amazing effect of "Sleeping Dragon Technique", even though he has successfully broken through the Dragon Gate Realm and become a super-powerful person, his progress has not slowed down at all, but has accelerated a lot more than before.

The human emperor body has evolved again, evolving into 360 clone gods.

These 360 ​​clone gods help to refine the heaven and earth energy together, which also makes Jiang Hao's cultivation as if assisted by God.

The endless heaven and earth energy is refined into Yuanli.

Then it is filled into the major acupoints.

The acupoints are almost always growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When these 360 ​​acupoints grow to the limit, it means that Jiang Hao's cultivation has reached the perfection of the Dragon Gate Realm.

At that time, he can prepare to try to impact the next realm-the Earthly Evil Realm.

For ordinary people to complete this process, even if everything goes well, it will take at least several years.

But Jiang Hao, he roughly estimated that at his current speed, um... at most one month!

If he had better luck and got some extra elixirs and spiritual objects to help him, it might not even take a month.

Such a speed of cultivation was really enviable.

"Work hard and strive for immortality as soon as possible!"

Jiang Hao cheered himself up, then soon lay down again and fell asleep.

...

It was evening before he knew it.

"Creaky--"

The heavy door of the cell was pushed open from the outside.

Then an old jailer with inconvenient legs and feet limped in from the outside.

He was holding a large lunch box in his hand.

This old jailer was the one who delivered meals to Jiang Hao every day.

"Duke Weiguo, dinner is served to you!"

The old jailer grinned and greeted.

As he spoke, he opened the lunch box and took out the food inside one by one.

"Crash roe lion head from Tongqinglou, three shrimp tofu from Xiaoshifu, Wangji's first-class pot, Song ErMy mother's ginger duck soup, and a pot of top-grade bamboo leaf green, these are your favorites. "

Three dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables.

Plus a big bowl of rice and a pot of wine.

Although it is not luxurious, it is definitely not bad.

Especially for prisoners in the cell, this is simply a dream.

But for Jiang Hao, this is standard.

After all, who made him the famous Duke of Weiguo?

No matter who the people in Tianlao treat harshly, they will never dare to treat him harshly.

Although he is now imprisoned in Tianlao by the empress, who can guarantee that he will not rise again in the future.

At least before the empress ordered his execution, the people in Tianlao would never dare to neglect him.

"Old Cangtou, what good day is today? Why are all the dishes I like? "

Jiang Hao came over and asked in surprise.

"Hehe, today is indeed a great day, but please allow me to keep you in suspense... You eat first, and I will explain it to you slowly after you finish eating."

The old man seemed to have encountered something particularly happy, and his face was full of wrinkles.

Jiang Hao smiled and shook his head, then looked down at the food.

He took a deep breath, and the fragrant smell was really hard to let go.

"In life, the only thing that cannot be missed is food... In this case, I won't be polite! "

While speaking, Jiang Hao no longer refused, took the bowl and chopsticks from the old man, and then he started to eat heartily.

Jiang Hao didn't have many hobbies, but eating was something he couldn't let go of.

Although there were only three dishes and one soup at the moment, the portion was quite large.

But he was now an extraordinary strong man after all. Although he would not feel hungry after swallowing the essence of heaven and earth, if he let go of his belly to eat, his appetite would be beyond imagination.

In just half a cup of tea, all these things went into his stomach.

And the old man stood quietly by the side.

It seemed that he was afraid of disturbing him and had not spoken.

Until Jiang Hao finished all the food, the old man finally stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Is the Duke of Wei satisfied with the food?"

"Yes, today's food is very delicious! "

Jiang Hao put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

Then he raised his head and looked at the old man, and suggested seriously: "But don't add anything next time, it will still affect the taste a little. "
