Great Martial Arts Auxiliary System

Chapter 112 The Power Struggle
Obviously, Shangguan Qiuyu's status is pitifully low now, and the best thing about him is Nangong Yulie's future son-in-law.

This kind of relationship of relying on Nangong's family was neither willing nor acceptable to him, so he planned to find a more acceptable identity for himself.

The identity that can bring him influence and prestige is in the world-renowned National Academy.

As long as he became a student of the National Academy and achieved excellent grades, then no one would use his status as an excuse.

The students of each class of Guofu Academy, who are listed on the list, will be known by the entire Dayu Dynasty.

There are four lists in the National Academy of Sciences, the Feng Yun List within the academy, the Hero List of the younger generation in the world, the Land List for evaluating the top [-] in the Houtian Realm within the Dayu Dynasty, and the Heavenly List for the Xiantian Realm.

The wind and cloud list only evaluates the students of each class of the National Academy, and the people on the list can only be the top [-] students of the National Academy.

There was an unwritten rule in the Dayu Dynasty, that is, after graduation, students on the top rankings of the Guofu Academy will be entrusted with important tasks as long as they join the imperial court.

The top twenty can be directly appointed as the lord of a city (county) or join the army as a general. If the top three join the imperial court, they can be directly awarded the title without military exploits or experience.

There were only nine titles in the Dayu Dynasty, 'Wang (Prince, County King), Public (Kaiguogong, County Duke,), Hou (Junhou, County Hou, Township Hou) Bo (County Bo, Township Bo).

The title rewards of the Dayu Dynasty were real, and they were not discounted at all. If you are the Duke of a county, all the income of the county that was awarded to you will be yours.

If you are a county marquis, then the taxes of the county under the county will also be yours.

As for how much to charge, you decide by yourself. Anyway, the imperial court seals it to you, so the land of each county will be fully managed by you.

At the same time, you also have the right to garrison troops, but the number of soldiers is regulated and cannot exceed the regulations of the court, just like a small vassal state.

However, except for the hereditary Eight Pillars that will never last, all the titles, including the king's title, have a decreasing system, and there is no hereditary theory.

Therefore, the Dayu Dynasty was very cautious about conferring titles, and generally would not confer rewards lightly, because the gold content of titles was too high, so everyone was proud of having titles.

As for Jiang Hu, it would take a long time for Shangguan Qiuyu to establish a first-class force, and he didn't have that much time to wait for his subordinates to grow up.

Therefore, he has already made a choice, and taking refuge in the imperial court is his best choice, and it is also the best choice.

'Prince and general, would you rather have a seed? '

Now, he has the opportunity to get in touch with the crown prince Xuanyuan Jing and one of the big officials Nan Shenhou, such a resource, but he will not foolishly miss it.

So, he said to Nangong Muxue:

"Go, why don't you go? How many people dare not give the Prince's Hall and Nan Shenhou the face. I was just joking just now. After breakfast, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion with you."

"Huh..." After hearing Shangguan Qiuyu's answer, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Shangguan Qiuyu would not know how to praise him and would not give Prince Xuanyuanjing face.

If he can't step down, not only Shangguan Qiuyu, but also her uncle Nangong Yulie may end his official career because of this.

Now, Jishui City has become an important town in southern Xinjiang again, and someone is peeping at the position of the city lord, which makes him feel anxious for his uncle.

Although the southern border affairs have always been under the jurisdiction of Nanshenhou Mansion, if His Highness the Crown Prince is offended by this, then Nanshenhou Xuetongtian will have to consider the candidate for the position of city lord.

Fortunately, Nangong Yulie gained his prestige in this battle and saved Jishui City, preventing the Nanman army from succeeding. In addition, he was the lord of Jishui City in the first place.

Therefore, no one can shake this person for the time being, and the Nangong family has already made sufficient preparations in Nanshenhou Mansion.

This is how Nanshen Hou Xue Tongtian inspected Jishui together with Crown Prince Xuanyuanjing, in order to see if his uncle was capable of taking the position of Lord of Jishui City.

Now, my uncle is no longer hiding his own strength, and obviously has no intention of giving up the position of the city lord, which makes the Nangong family use all their strength to help Nangong Yulie secure the position of the city lord of Jishui City.

Seeing that Nangong Muxue was worried, Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't help asking:

"What? Is there something wrong?"

"Well, it's just about uncle." Nangong Muxue said.

Hearing that it was about his own father-in-law, Shangguan Qiuyu glanced at Nangong Shiluo and asked him:
"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me?"

Nangong Muxue said worriedly:
"After the Nanman retreated, Lord Hou planned to keep a million troops standing at Jishui to ensure the safety of drawing water, but because the matter was so important, there was a disagreement in Nanshenhou Mansion over who should give the military power to the millions of troops.

Originally, as the city of Jishui, my uncle has made great contributions this time, so the military power of this army should naturally be in the hands of my uncle.

But the Xiang family and some generals raised objections, including the An family, who has always been on good terms with my Nangong family, also remained silent.

The reason is that my Nangong family has already occupied a lot of power in Nanshenhou Mansion, if there is another general with a million troops in hand, it will make them feel unwilling.

And Hou Ye was also afraid that Nangong's family would be too big, so he kept hesitating, and the reason why Hou Ye accompanied the Crown Prince to draw water this time was because he wanted to see his uncle with his own eyes, and then make a decision. "

"Then what is the plan of the Nangong family?" Shangguan Qiuyu said calmly.

Nangong Muxue glanced at Shangguan Qiuyu and continued:
"Although we all know that if uncle secures the position of Jishui city lord, the Nangong family will definitely be feared by Lord Hou.

But so what to be afraid of, natural selection, if you don't advance, you will retreat. My father and the elders of the family have unanimously decided to support my uncle with all my strength. "

"Hehe, that's right. Natural selection, if you don't advance, you will retreat. You people from the Nangong family are not stupid." Shangguan Qiuyu nodded and said.

If the Nangong family abandoned their father-in-law because they were afraid of causing Nanshen Hou Xuetongtian to fear, then even if he is capable, he will not help the Nangong family when they are in trouble.

Nangong Muxue rolled her eyes, intending not to have the same knowledge as him, and continued:

"However, there is a big problem standing in front of uncle."

"Press? What's the problem?" Shangguan Qiuyu asked.

Nangong Muxue said angrily:
"Strength, those people said that Jishui City is too important. Uncle, he only has a first-class peak state and is not enough to be alone."

From her point of view, those people just don't like Nangong's family, so they deliberately make things difficult. Is it so easy to break through the super-first-class realm?
You must know that the current Nanshenhou Xuetongtian only has super-first-class late-stage strength. In the entire five states of southern Xinjiang, only the state herdsmen and Nanshenhou of the five states have super-first-class cultivation, and there are only six in total.

Now, it is required that the lord of a city has a super-first-class cultivation. Isn't this clearly nitpicking?
