Chapter 29: Conferring the title of Princess to the Ladies
"According to what you said... Emperor Jun will definitely be resurrected in the end..."
After listening to Jiang Mingche's explanation, Wu Zetian frowned unconsciously.
"That's right." Jiang Mingche nodded, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing I want to say..."
"Go ahead and tell me. No matter what you say, I will forgive you." Looking at Jiang Mingche's hesitant look, Wu Zetian waved her hand and smiled.
"Your Majesty, I would like to say that you can consider Lord Sikong's suggestion..." Jiang Mingche said as he observed the changes in Wu Zetian's expression.
Sikong Zhen’s proposal was naturally to use the power of the mechanical core to reorganize the Storm Army.
Sure enough, after listening to Jiang Mingche's words, Wu Zetian frowned unconsciously.
"Why do you have this suggestion?" She had already told the other party clearly when she conferred the title of prince on Jiang Mingche.
He had conferred the title on Jiang Mingche in order to check and balance Sikong Zhen. Now Jiang Mingche was actually advising him instead?
To be honest, Wu Zetian couldn't understand Jiang Mingche's mysterious actions.
"There are two reasons..." After pondering for a moment, Jiang Mingche explained slowly.
"First, this humble minister traveled to the Great Wall and realized something very serious..."
"Although my Tang Dynasty has many elite soldiers and generals, their cultivation is too low..."
"In the entire Great Wall Guard, there is not even one Diamond Realm warrior..."
Among the Great Wall Guards, Hua Mulan, who has the highest cultivation level, is only Platinum II, and Su Lie is now Platinum I.
In the army, one with a cultivation level of gold can directly serve as a general. Even so, there are not many people in the entire Great Wall Guard. Most of them are ordinary people, or people with scrap iron or silver.
"Although I have quelled the riot at the Great Wall this time, no one knows whether Haiyue will suddenly make a comeback."
"If she incites the diamond demons to attack unexpectedly, the Great Wall will fall in an instant..." Jiang Mingche said solemnly.
In fact, Haiyue did intend to do so. The mutated golden-winged rocs raised on the top of Tianque Mountain were the best evidence.
If he had not heard the news from Wei Ye and gone to kill these golden-winged Rocs, the damage caused to the Great Wall by the sudden attack of these golden-winged Rocs after he left the Great Wall would have been incalculable.
It is very easy for a diamond-level demon to destroy a city. After all, there are no diamond masters guarding the Great Wall.
"Take back some of those machine cores from the civilians, and then hand them over to Lord Sikong, so that he can rebuild the Storm Army."
"Although the Storm Troopers are mechanical men, their power with the mechanical core cannot be underestimated..."
"Each of these Storm Troopers has Platinum V cultivation. When they unite, they can even unleash the power of the Diamond Realm. They can be used to strengthen the national defense of the Tang Dynasty."
"Secondly, if we want to stop Haiyue's plan to revive Dijun, these Storm Troopers are also indispensable."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Wu Zetian glanced at Jiang Mingche and asked curiously.
Can the Storm Army still stop Haiyue’s plan to resurrect Di Jun?
"The reason why the Storm Army is so invincible is that there is another indispensable factor besides the machine core."
"Sikong Zhen will use the power of the Five Thunder Drums to allow these Storm Troopers to also gain the power of thunder."
"When Haiyue gathers all the people with the True King's Mark and wants to send a signal to Dijun, the power of thunder can block her signal transmission..."
"As long as the signal transmission is blocked, Di Jun will not be able to locate the location of the King's Continent..." Jiang Mingche explained slowly.
"What you said makes sense..."
"But nuclear power plants benefit the country and the people. If we rashly take them back, it will probably cause public resentment." Wu Zetian said thoughtfully.
After she ordered Sikong Zhen to disband the Storm Army, she distributed these organ cores to civilians.
The mechanical giants that can be seen everywhere in Chang'an City are controlled by mechanical cores.
The houses and buildings that rise from the ground in Chang'an city are closely related to these giant mechanical machines.
It can be said that it is because of the mechanical giant that the prosperous city of Chang'an was created.
"Your Majesty does not need to take back all the organ cores, only half of them will be enough."
"As far as I know, there must be more than ten thousand mechanical cores in Chang'an City, right?" Jiang Mingche said with a faint smile.
"Of course, we don't need to take back the cores of the civilian machinery, but we can recycle the cores of the mechanical giants that once built Chang'an City and are now sleeping. Sikong Zhen can use them to build the Storm Army."
"As long as we have 5,000 Storm Troopers, it will be enough to protect the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."
After being blessed with the mechanical core and the power of Sikong Zhen's Five Thunder Drums, each of these Storm Army soldiers can possess the strength of platinum.
Moreover, every fifty Storm Troopers can unleash power comparable to that of the Diamond Realm.
If this power is gathered, even if we look at the entire King's Continent, we will be invincible. By then, the Tang Dynasty will not be afraid of anyone.
"You make sense..." Wu Zetian nodded in agreement. If it were her peak period, she would naturally disdain these Storm Troops. The power of the peak Star Glory was enough for her to look down on the entire King's Continent.
But after sealing the ancient magician Jiang Ziya last time, her strength has been recovering, and now she has just recovered to the strength of Diamond I.
In addition, the Great Wall is on the edge of the Yunzhong Desert, Haiyue has been restless there, and all 108 blocks in Chang'an City have been completed, so it is indeed possible to rebuild the Storm Army.
"I will immediately order the 5,000 mechanical cores to be taken back and handed over to Sikong Zhen, so that he can rebuild the Storm Army."
"Your Majesty is wise..." Jiang Mingche was also overjoyed. He originally thought that he would have to spend more time persuading Wu Zetian to agree to his plan, but he did not expect that the other party would agree so easily.
It seems that Wu Zetian was definitely not someone who never listened to anyone's advice as rumored in the court and the public. She was quite sensible.
All 108 wards of Chang'an City were completed, but the Great Wall, the Protectorate, the military governorates, and the northern border were constantly harassed.
No one would have any objection to restarting the Storm Army at this time.
"After saying all this, shouldn't you think about your own affairs?"
Wu Zetian asked Jiang Mingche with a smile, her eyes full of undisguised admiration.
It has only been two months since I first heard the name Jiang Mingche.
In just two months, Jiang Mingche made rapid progress from Gold II to Diamond level.
If anyone told her such a thing, she would definitely sneer at it if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
"My own business? What is it?" Jiang Mingche asked tentatively, feeling a little confused by Wu Zetian's words.
"You have made such a great military achievement this time, quelling the demon riots in the Great Wall and protecting the safety of the Great Wall. It is rumored that you, General Tiance Jiang Che, are the reincarnation of a god sent by the heavens to save the people of Dawn."
"Such a great achievement, I naturally cannot but reward you. Otherwise, the people of the Tang Dynasty will think that I am a tyrant who does not know talent."
"These are just rumors, don't take them seriously." Jiang Mingche shook his head, feeling somewhat amused.
The last time he took out 200 million silver dollars to raise food for disaster relief, the victims said they were the reincarnation of Bodhisattva...
"You are now crowned as a king and appointed as a prime minister, and concurrently serve as the General of Tiance in charge of the military affairs of the Tang Dynasty. I don't know what else you can be crowned with..."
"What do you want? I want to hear your opinion."
"If Your Majesty wants to confer titles, why not confer titles on my wives..." Jiang Mingche said after a moment of hesitation. He is now a general of Tiance and there is no more title that can be bestowed upon him. Moreover, he is very satisfied now.
"Confer titles on your wives? It's not impossible..." After hearing Jiang Mingche's words, Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Who are your wives?" Wu Zetian asked curiously.
"Gongsun Li, Yunying, Hua Mulan, and Jialuo. In this case, I will confer the title of princess of the Tang Dynasty upon these four people. Are you satisfied?" After pondering for a while, Wu Zetian said slowly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace..."
Jiang Mingche was also surprised by Wu Zetian's words. He didn't expect that he just mentioned it casually, but Wu Zetian would directly confer the title of princess on all four girls.
Wu Zetian had no children, no harem, and no princesses or princesses in the entire court.
In the Tang Dynasty today, there is no officially conferred female title of the first rank, nor any female title of the lower rank.
As long as the imperial edict is issued tomorrow, the four women will become the most honorable people in the entire Tang Dynasty except for the empress.
