the white-tailed scorpion, which remained calm and collected.At this moment, he lightly leaped and landed on the monstrous creature's back. With its size and weight, the creature, even in agony, proba...The position of the magistrate of Rizhao County has turned yellow!

Zhonghuang Sheng had been building momentum for a long time, making many attempts, but in the final moments, someone else snatched the fruit of his labor.

The newly appointed magistrate of Rizhao County is Tian Aanta. The imperial decree has been issued and cannot be changed. He will take office immediately.

And the scheme of Chong Xuan Sheng and Jiang Wang was thus cut short.

Zhong Xuan arrived at Qingyang Town in a fit of rage and told Jiang Wang the news.

Jiang Wang was looking forward to this, the position would be beneficial to his operation of power. The feeling of expectation being dashed wasn't pleasant. But he still comforted himself, "Things can't go on forever. Heaven has its gaps, and human relationships have their jealousies; it's inevitable!"

Positions of the Three Commissioners for Suppressing Disturbances in Yangyu.

Huang Yixing is necessary for governance, anyone who distributes the pie would need someone like this.

However, it was Zhong Xuan Zhu Liang who nodded in agreement, and thus he rose to a position of authority. Although loyalty cannot be guaranteed entirely, it can already be considered that the people under Zhong Xuan Zhu Liang belong to his faction.

Gao Shaoling was a result of the interest exchange orchestrated by Chongxuan Chuliang. Through the position of pacifier of Chiwei County, he engaged in a degree of exchange and cooperation with the Gao clan of Jinghai. It can also be considered as a standard division of spoils.

Only the Prefect of Jìzhào County, Zhòng Xuán Shèng, was truly interested in managing it as his own.

This position, no matter what, isn't Tian An-tai's turn.

Although he served as a general in the Autumn Slaughter Army and personally participated in the War of Annihilation, displaying bravery and achieving feats on the battlefield. His inner cultivation also matched his position.

But when it comes to achievements, he is absolutely no match for Jiang Wang's feat of capturing the flag, nor for Chong Xuan's accomplishment of vanquishing countless enemy soldiers. Nor can we compare his deeds to dismantling Song Guang's seventy thousand troops before the battle.

He was able to take this position, firstly because his family, the Oze clan, had deep roots and a rich history. Secondly, his intentions were unfathomable, and he seemed unwilling to openly display his ambition for power, lest it become a burden for others. Thirdly...

"It is Chongxuan's obedience!"

Zhong Xuan Sheng said fiercely: "If he had not represented the Zhongxuan family and expressed his agreement, Your Majesty would never have bypassed his uncle's opinion and appointed Tian An Tai!"

There are two pieces of information in this statement. One is that Zhong Xuan Zun still holds absolute dominance within the Zhong Xuan family, even able to represent them at important times. The other also suggests that Emperor Qi may not truly want Zhong Xuan Chu Liang to gain too much, but due to his great achievements, he cannot openly suppress him. This is the heart of an emperor, quite common.

Jiang Wang frowned and said, "How could the Chongxuan family agree to give up Rizhao County"

Even for top families like the Chongxuan clan, even if they are optimistic about Chongxuan Zun, they should not make choices that harm the family's interests.

Zhong Xuan's face was not looking good: "The Tian family has put forward the right to develop Chongjia Island for ten years as a trade."

Knowing that Jiang Wang didn't understand the significance of Chongjia Island, he added: "This island belongs to a nearby archipelago and is rich in resources. It wouldn't be inferior to Rizhao County, and it has always been privately owned by the Tian clan."

Ah, I see!

Perhaps in terms of resources and tangible benefits, Chongjia Island is no stronger than Rizhao County, but the meaning behind it is different.

From the perspective of the Chongxuan family, they have already reaped enough benefits in the Yang domain. Losing one post of the Sunlit County pacifier will not affect the overall situation in Yangdi. However, a Chongjia Island can strengthen the Chongxuan family's power in the nearby islands and expand their influence.

In a way, this is also an exchange of benefits in the "dividing the pie" stage.

Just, Fa Yang was the result of Chong Xuan's deliberate intention. When the "cake" was already made, Chong Xuan ran out to preside over the "division of the cake"!

Both morally and logically, this doesn't hold up.

However, Chong Xuan Zun acted in the best interests of the Chong Xuan family. This left no room for opposition because driving Qi State to attack Yang was not something Chong Xuan Chuliang and Chong Xuan Shengshishu could accomplish on their own. They relied on the power of their family, and it was through that family support that they were able to make this bold gamble.

>

When it comes to the end, there's no reason why the family shouldn't reap the benefits.

Exchanging the position of Commandant of Sunzhi County for a ten-year exile on Chongjia Island is, for someone like Chongxuan's family, a choice with more benefits than drawbacks.

>

As for Chong Xuan Sheng himself, however, it was all in vain.

>

Jiang Wang would undoubtedly stand on his side, and if he could obtain the position of pacifier of Rizhao County, it would be equivalent to the entire Rizhao County becoming Chong Xuan Sheng's stronghold.

While Chongjia Island's decade was the entire Chongxuan family's decade, Chongxuan Sheng at most could only get a few scraps.

That Jiang Wang has yet to meet the reclusive Chong Xuan, but his actions are decisive and his thoughts thorough.

During the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm incident, Chongxuan's obstruction was more like a casual move. He didn't even receive a serious promise from Chongxuan.

>

Wang Yiwu's joining was more like Wang Yiwu taking the initiative, or perhaps in response to Zhong Xuansheng's impromptu substitution at a critical moment, rather than a carefully planned strategy by Zhong Xuansheng. Being able to secure a spot in a Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm within such a short period demonstrates his considerable influence.

This time, it was Chongxuan's true and genuine action.

> Targeting Chongxuan Sheng's actions.

Whether it was Chong Xuan finally summoning the strength to act, or simply that he had free time, once he made his move, he plucked the fruit of victory from Chong Sheng!

It's no wonder that Chongxuan is so distraught.

“This at least proves something!” Jiang Wang said in a low voice: “At least until now, Chong Xuan Zun has had to regard you as an opponent!”

Regardless of whether Chongxuan was socializing in Linzi or managing his power, he remained lukewarm and unenthusiastic. He didn't seem to care about the reactions around him.

>

It can now be said at least that Chong Xuan Sheng is no longer someone who can be ignored.

“Yes!” Chongxuan patted Jiang Wang’s shoulder: “I came here to comfort you, but it turned out that you were the one comforting me!”

He paused for a moment: "I just wanted to say, we've had worse times, and of course, we deserve better times too!"

In such a stressful time, the first thing he thought of was to comfort Jiang Wang's possible disappointment, which shows the depth of their friendship.

Jiang Wang smiled: "You came, and the door is wide open! Not to mention your mood!"

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

At the residence of Chongxuan Chuliang, the marquisate plaque given to Dingyuan Hou had only just been hung up.

The newly appointed magistrate of Rizhao County, Tian An'tai, had been standing in the courtyard for a long time.

After lunch, Chong Xuan and Zhu Liangcai slowly approached the courtyard, hands clasped behind their backs, looking at Tian An'tai: "Did the pacifier of Rìzhào Town come today to make a show of force"

Tian An Tai bowed deeply and respectfully, clasping his hands together and saying: "I am here to express my gratitude first, and to beg for forgiveness second!"

Expressing gratitude is for acknowledging the kindness of those who helped me achieve success, and pleading guilty is for admitting to my wrongdoing in usurping the position of the Commandant of Daybreak Garrison.

With the support of Lord Dazetian and the imperial appointment of Emperor Qi, Tian An'ai should not be in such a predicament now that he is not even in the army.

But he still came.

"Today, you dare come to plead guilty, which has opened my eyes. "

Zheng Xuanchu smiled: "It's Tian Anping's idea, isn't it"

Tian Aantae dared not admit, nor deny, he just said: "I am deeply humble and terrified!"

"Clever scheme, Tian Anping! If I were to whip you, it would ruin your reputation. If I were to kill you, it would be against the emperor's wishes."

"Zhen Xuan and Zhu Liang spoke, squinting their eyes: "But Tian An Tai, you tell me, if I wanted to kill someone, would I care about these things"

Tian An Tai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. His heart was filled with dread.

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

Twenty-one thousand Yang troops said they would slaughter, and Chong Xuan Chu Liang became ruthless. Would he really care about those trivial matters

"The Marquis's divine might is awe-inspiring, surely, surely..."

He "hmmmed" for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything meaningful.

Zhong Xuan Chu Liang impatiently waved his hand: "That's enough. Go back and tell Tian Anping, I won't kill you, but he must remember this favor!"

Even ruthless individuals like Chong Xuan and Liang, eventually compromised...

Tian An Tai felt a sense of relief in his heart. He bowed respectfully, then hurried away as if escaping from danger.

Though the executioner didn't treat him badly, it was worse than the punishment itself.

If possible, he never wants to come back to Dingyuan Houfu for the rest of his life.

However, he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit...

He had no courage to refuse his younger brother's request.
