About me traveling to the world of immortality but finding ways to surf the Internet

As soon as Tao Zhengxi said these words, Eunuch Tan was so frightened that he fell to his knees. Yang Yuyao turned his head and looked at Eunuch Tan with confusion, his face was pale and dripping with cold sweat. He didn't have time to lower his head in time, causing Eunuch Tan's eyes to meet that beautiful face. Eunuch Tan, who had long been inhumane, was in a trance for a moment, but luckily his reason woke him up in time.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Yang Yuyao asked. Eunuch Tan was not sure whether Yang Yuyao really didn't notice that he was so frightened, or whether he was deliberately stepping down for him. But Eunuch Tan planned to follow Yang Yuyao's words.

"I seem to have sprained my ankle just now." Eunuch Tan said cautiously. Tao Zhengxi knew that he was lying, but she also drove him to rest. After Eunuch Tan got up, he bowed his hands and stepped back step by step out of sight of Yang Yuyao and Tao Zhengxi, before he breathed a sigh of relief.

As a eunuch who had served Tao Zhengxi for a long time and gained Tao Zhengxi's trust, Eunuch Tan had not been as panicked as he was today for a long time. He didn't know if he was being careless, but he always felt that his master planned to hand over the throne not to Prince Tao Yexuan, who had been the crown prince for many years, but to his grandson named Yang Yuyao. And the prince didn't seem to have much objection to this.

It is not that the Xia Kingdom has never had a princess' child inherit the throne, but the princess of the Xia Kingdom won the power struggle with her imperial brother and became the queen for four hundred years. The emperor only handed the throne to her when he was tired of it. 's eldest son. And her eldest son has always had her surname of Tao.

This beauty is not currently named Tao, but he can change his surname because he also has the blood of the Xia royal family, so the surname is not a big problem. The biggest problem is that he has no foundation at all. Over the years, these courtiers have long believed that Tao Yeshuo will definitely become the new emperor, and have devoted a lot of effort to him. If this beautiful young man suddenly appears and is put on the throne, it will probably cause chaos. The ministers were dissatisfied.

Eunuch Tan is worried that this will lead to unrest in the Xia Kingdom. Although the Xia Kingdom today is not like other countries, in addition to the prince, there are many other princes. Because all the emperors in the past dynasties were monks, the Xia Kingdom had always had many royal bloodlines. Tao Zhengxi only had two children, Tao Yeshuo and Tao Yulian. Speaking more broadly, those who still have the right to inherit are Tao Zhengxi's younger brother Tao Zhengyi, then Tao Zhengyi's son Tao Rui, and then Tao Zhengyi's grandson Tao Yi.

But when it came to the grandson Taoyi, his priority in succession to the throne was just a little bit ahead of Yang Yuyao. Among these three generations, there was also Zhongtong who had the right to succeed, as the successor of Tao Zhengxi's deceased emperor's brother Tao Zhengsong. Grandson, he is lower in the succession order than Yang Yuwei, the legitimate daughter of the Yang family. In the Xia State, except for the prince, the possibility of anyone else who is qualified to inherit the throne is extremely low, so the courtiers of the Xia State do not need to consider the issue of betting on anyone.

However, people's innate pursuit of profit still divided these courtiers into two factions. One group is valued by Emperor Tao Zhengxi and is very close to the emperor. The other faction naturally felt that it was impossible for them to get ahead with Tao Zhengxi, so they turned to the princelings to please Tao Yeshuo. Even though no one knows how long Tao Zhengxi, who is in the Void Realm, plans to be the emperor, these courtiers may not be able to wait until Tao Yeshuo ascends the throne. But they are still betting, betting on a future for themselves.

In other countries, the gap between the emperor and the prince will inevitably become wider and wider because of this, but the Xia Kingdom is different. The father and son Tao Zhengxi and Tao Yeshuo used this confrontation between factions to balance the power in the court. . Whether these courtiers know it or not, they can only writh in their palms. But once Yang Yuyao enters this situation, he will definitely break this balance and reorganize the forces. Once the forces begin to reorganize, it will inevitably lead to bloodshed.

"Well, I wonder what your majesty is thinking about?" Eunuch Tan sighed, thinking in his heart. After all, he is just a servant who serves others. How can he fully understand what his master is thinking?

"This year's..." Yang Yuyao looked at the young talents. Anyone who passed the palace examination was a Jinshi, so among these people there should be the top three Jinshis, which are often called the top pick, the second best, and the top pick. "If I want to bring in assistants, I would probably prefer someone with some local management experience. In addition, there are talents in agriculture and water conservancy."

"Agriculture and water conservancy?" Tao Zhengxi looked at Yang Yuyao with some surprise, "Are you planning to engage in farming?"

"Well, I have some ideas I want to try. Although Yugui and Xiangning seem to be wild places at present, I asked Senior Zhu Molan and checked some relevant information and learned that these two places The climate is relatively warm and the water source has abundant rainfall. It may be suitable for growing things. But I know nothing about farming, so I hope someone can cooperate with me in the experiment." Yang Yuyao replied, "And I hope there are talents in water conservancy because if I can If we make good use of these abundant water resources, we should have good harvests. And repairing the water conservancy should also prevent some damage caused by bad weather. I think the emperor's grandfather should hope that I can develop these two places suitable for people to live. If protective facilities are put in place in advance, those who move to Yugui and Xiangning can live in peace."

"It's a good idea. I will arrange some suitable candidates to go with you when I arrive." Tao Zhengxi said with a smile.

Since ancient times, people have been continuously building water conservancy, transforming rivers, diverting water into canals, building dams to divert water, conquering the wild nature little by little, and transforming places suitable for human habitation. The construction of water conservancy projects is naturally a good thing that will benefit the future. But the problem is that repairing water conservancy projects consumes a lot of money. Even in a country as rich as Xia State, the funds invested in maintaining existing water conservancy projects need to be carefully calculated every year. If a new one is to be built, it will need to be discussed again and again. but

Tao Zhengxi doesn't plan to say too much here. He has already prepared so much funds and materials for Yang Yuyao. Tao Zhengxi leaves it to Yang Yuyao to decide how to arrange and use them. Even though the ministers did not understand Tao Zhengxi's decision, they all wrote letters asking him to withdraw the imperial edict. But Tao Zhengxi was determined to do this. He believed that Yang Yuyao could bring many new changes, and what made him believe in this was Xunlian created by Yang Yuyao. This communication magic weapon breaks many people's inherent impressions of magic weapons.

At first, Tao Zhengxi decided to support Yang Yuyao because he just thought that this communication magic weapon would have miraculous effects in the military and politics. But as the understanding of this magic weapon deepens. Tao Zhengxi became more and more determined in his decision. He had no doubt that if this beautiful young man wanted to, he could break many shackles that others could not break and bring about better changes.

"Grandpa Huang, I would like to ask when will the materials and personnel sent to Yugui be ready?" Yang Yuyao couldn't help but ask.

"We finally came back, why are we leaving in such a hurry?!" Tao Zhengxi immediately asked with some displeasure.

"I'm not in a hurry to leave. I just want to know the specific time and how many people are going to go with me. So I can make some arrangements in advance." Yang Yuyao, who had thought about Tao Zhengxi's reaction in advance, calmly said He replied, "Besides, it's not very suitable to go there at this time. It's too hot and humid, and those mortals will get sick easily."

"Xiao Yao, what preparations do you want to make in advance?" After hearing Yang Yuyao say that he was not in a hurry to leave, Tao Zhengxi, who felt a little happier, asked in confusion.

"I have a monk friend who wants to go to Yugui with me. He is on his way to Xiadu now. We have some things to do in Xiadu. In addition, I can also choose a good location to set up a large teleportation array, so that I don't have to travel far away. Trekking." Yang Yuyao replied.

"If 60,000 people go with you, can your teleportation array send so many people at once?" Tao Zhengxi asked.

"Sixty thousand people?" Yang Yuyao thought for a moment, "With the temporary teleportation array, it can be delivered in two or three times."

"...Xiao Yao, what state are you in now?" Tao Zhengxi, who felt that Yang Yuyao's answer was too easy, asked.

"To be honest, I don't know. I broke through to the Tribulation Stage when I was in Li Yangguo, and then experienced some things. I was promoted again. I didn't ascend, but I could feel that my realm had broken through to a big realm again, so I don't know what state I am in now, maybe I am in the Tribulation Stage 2.0?" Yang Yuyao replied awkwardly.

"Two o'clock in the tribulation period...?" Tao Zhengxi didn't know how to comment on Yang Yuyao's naming. He naturally knew that his grandson was special. He also knew that many years ago, a mysterious old man broke into the general's mansion to look for Yang Yu. Glory about this. But no matter how special it is... what the hell is this two point zero? Tao Zhengxi had to take a deep breath to stabilize her mentality.

"The supplies and people will be assembled in about half a month. Okay, Xiaoyao, I've delayed you long enough. Go down and play with other young people." Tao Zhengxi patted Yang Yuyao on the shoulder and said.

"No, I think it's more suitable for me to continue to stay here." Yang Yuyao looked at the crowd downstairs, shuddered, and immediately rejected the suggestion.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go." Tao Zhengxi did not force Yang Yuyao, and by the way, she scolded all the people in Qingfeng Sect who had hurt her in her heart. "Why don't you play chess with me? The chess game in Xunlian is quite interesting. I made a set of real objects according to it." Tao Zhengxi took out a set of customized chess from the space ring. The chess pieces are made of catalpa tree wood, and the chessboard is a piece of cowhide, rolled up and tied with golden silk thread. The entire chess set is packed in a simple-looking box also made of catalpa wood.

"Okay." Yang Yuyao agreed readily.

In the original world, his grandfather liked to raise goldfish and play chess, or that was the hobby of many people in that era. When he lived in a community, his grandfather placed a wooden sea on the balcony and raised several plump tiger-head goldfish. In his spare time, he would meet up with several other elderly people in the community to play chess on the cement table in the community garden. If the weather is bad and it is inconvenient to go out, Yang Yuyao will be the one to play chess with him. His grandfather can use a mobile phone, but he doesn’t like playing the chess software on the mobile phone. The reason he gave is that it doesn’t feel right, so he only likes to play physical chess.

Later, Yang Yuyao entered the research institute, and his grandfather decided to go to a nursing home. Those tiger-head goldfish were given away together with Mu Hai. Fortunately, there were many old people in the nursing home who liked to play chess, so he didn't have to worry about not finding them. rival. The old director of Yang Yuyao's research institute is also a chess player. He is a few years younger than Yang Yuyao's grandfather, so he is more energetic. Occasionally, he would drag Yang Yuyao to play chess. After playing more, chess became a game that Yang Yuyao played well, so he added chess to Xunlian's mini-games.

There are many people playing chess in Xunlian. Yang Yuyao has designed three battle modes: friend battle, random matching and human-computer confrontation. After the game can be set up with another nickname, currently the most people choose to play random matching. Yang Yu Yao occasionally saw monks discussing this matter on the public screen, but everyone seemed to be cautious and not reveal specific details. It seems that he is deeply afraid that the fact that he has matched with a certain powerful person and beat him to a pulp will be exposed.

But so far, Yang Yuyao has not seen anyone ask why the chess board is separated by a river, and where is the river called Chu River. In fact, Yang Yuyao considered finding a similar historical allusion in this world, and then changing the Chu River on the chessboard to the name of a certain river in this world, but he got lazy later. But being lazy doesn't seem to be a big problem, because no one even asked what this cannon was.

You know, this world doesn't even have the word "cannon". A relatively similar long-range weapon is a sling, but these monks seem to accept the word "cannon" on the chessboard as a matter of course, which they have never seen before.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince would like to see you." Eunuch Tan, who had regained his composure, raised his hands and said to Tao Zhengxi.

"See you soon." Tao Zhengxi said without raising her head, frowning while looking at the chessboard with her arms folded.

"Father, it is true that you took Xiao Yao away without even saying a word to Ning Xiu and the others, scaring them so much that they came to me for questioning." Tao Yexuan said in a brisk tone as soon as he walked over. Eunuch Tan left here again knowing each other.

"Hmph, it would be strange if something happened to Xiaoyao in my palace!" Tao Zhengxi snorted coldly.

"Hey, father, don't tell me, you really have the courage to cause trouble. Just now I happened to see Qiu Longyu scolding Shan Yu, scolding him for not looking at the situation when looking for trouble, even if he wanted to lose the Yang family. It's not about losing face now, but it's better now. Not only did the Yang family not lose face, but they made themselves look like a clown." Tao Yexuan roughly recounted what he heard.

"It's good to dance some more. I wish they could dance some more!" Tao Zhengxi said with a sneer. Yang Yuyao looked at the two of them in silence. He felt that he should not interrupt, so he pretended to be air. But things didn't go as he wished, and Tao Yeshuo suddenly turned the topic to him again.

"Xiao Yao, after a while, I will bully the guy who made things difficult for you back." Tao Yeshuo said with a smile.

"Well, thank you..." Yang Yuyao thanked him delicately. He knew who Shan Yu they were talking about was the tall and thin official who came to ask him strange questions today. Sure enough, once you return to the family, this kind of overt and covert fighting involving the court cannot be avoided without taking the initiative to participate. Fortunately, his blood relatives are still willing to help him. The term "just bully me back" is really...

"You are playing chess, how is the outcome?" Tao Yeshuo asked curiously when he saw the chessboard on the table.

"..."

"..."

What responded to him was the silence between the two of them. It was hard to say the outcome because Tao Zhengxi didn't win a single round. Yang Yuyao kept doubting himself, hadn't he done enough? This is different from Ludo, a chess game that relies on luck. There is no luck at all in chess.

"Bring the chess set down, Xuan'er and Wei'er both want to play with Xiao Yao!" Tao Yeshuo made a suggestion to ease the embarrassment, and it was immediately approved. A chess set was placed on the stone table in the garden, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Yang Yuyao kept retreating until he retreated to the wall of a house, and saw Yang Yuyao coming with a girl of her own age.

"Brother, this is my good friend Huangfu Weiwei. Weiwei, this is my eldest brother Yang Yuyao." Yang Yuwei introduced. Huangfu Weiwei looked up at Yang Yuyao and immediately blushed.

"Yang...Hello, Young Master Yang, my little girl, I...ah!" Huangfu Weiwei stammered, then covered her face and ran away.
