Chapter 223: The Court

After taking out gold coins from Ali, Bai Qi successfully advanced and became a real five-star Dou King. Bai Qi felt refreshed and felt an indescribable feeling of pleasure. In fact, this feeling was not the first time Bai Qi has experienced it, but every time it was so comfortable, it was much stronger than going to bed. Every time that feeling was full of power made Bai Qi feel endless aftertaste. Every time that feeling made Bai Qi feel full of strength. This time was no exception. The smooth advancement made Bai Qi feel comfortable both body and mind.

Ling'er was with Bai Qi. Although she didn't say that the two would get married as soon as possible, she also felt an indescribable joy when they met day and night. Bai Qi liked this feeling very much, as if it was a feeling of love. As long as you could see her figure every day, it was a kind of satisfaction and no need to demand anything else. These were enough for Bai Qi. Of course, in addition, Bai Qi was just mingling with a group of friends such as Dugu Zhantian, Li Xunhuan, Bezos, Li Ling and others. She was so carefree and elegant all day long. There was no news in the Dark Temple, as if everything had calmed down and everything was so smooth, which made Bai Qi very happy.

Unfortunately, the peaceful days are always short. Not long after, something made Bai Qi busy. On this day, Bai Qi followed the team immediately in the morning, standing at the forefront of the generals, ranking third in the first place, and quietly held a regular court meeting. In front of Bai Qi was Marshal Kansas and Marshal Roberts. The two high-level marshals ranked first, and the second two big bosses, Bai Qi ranked third. As for Marshal Lan Lingwei, who disliked each other with Bai Qi, he was not here. He was responsible for the military affairs of the south and had already devoted himself to the clearance of the southern barbarians. He had no time to return to the imperial capital for the time being, which made the imperial capital much more peaceful. Otherwise, Bai

The conflict with the Lan Lingwei family was enough to cause the two marshals who held heavy troops to conflict within the imperial capital. Although the scale of the conflict was not very large, the three thousand personal soldiers of the two marshals were enough to achieve great destructive power, which was not a good thing for anyone. Li Ziming seemed to know that the relationship between the two was not harmonious, so when Bai Qi returned to Beijing, he transferred the marshal of the Lan Lingwei family to the southern border, and he was afraid that he would not be able to return for a while. After all, the barbarians in the southern border were not so easy to pacify. Although there were three legions and hundreds of thousands of local garrison troops there, this was still a bit insufficient. It was initially estimated that it would be difficult to pacify the barbarians in the southern border in less than a year or two.

In fact, as a high-ranking marshal of the commander, especially the marshal Bai Qi, who commands the border troops, does not have to go to court on weekdays, and there are many things that need to be dealt with by Bai Qi. Although Bai Qi is far away in the imperial capital, the seven legions in the northern border are still under Bai Qi's leadership, and various information about the war between the Kalan Empire and the Tianlong Empire sent by the intelligence department needs to be dealt with by Bai Qi. Therefore, Bai Qi does not go to court frequently, but only two or three times in a month. However, Bai Qi appears here today because today happens to be the day when Bai Qi is going to court.

"My lords... I have a memorial to start the news, but I have no memorial to retreat to the court." Following the old system of the Immortal Dynasty, the eunuchs in the palace knelt down and bowed and shouted long live, and then stood next to Li Ziming on the left side, shouting in their unique sharp voice. After saying that, they looked around with triangular eyes, without any extra stop. After seeing it, they retreated.

"Your Majesty... If you have something to do, you will report it. The Eastern Linhai Province..." The prime minister stood up first and said respectfully, saying some things, such as famine in the Eastern Linhai Province, which requires rescue, etc., and some ministers came out to oppose it, and they quarreled with each other. After that, there were other things, and Bai Qi didn't care. It was said that if he was not in his position and did not plan his own affairs, Bai Qi was a senior official in the military's marshal's headquarters, not the official prime minister. He did not need to pay attention to these things. As a good marshal, he needed to pay attention to himself and his enemies.

Tell me, find the right opportunity to attack the enemy and win the war. All he needs to care about is the food, clothing, housing and transportation of his soldiers, just their daily training and the strategy of war during the war. He doesn't need to care about anything else, because this has nothing to do with him at all. There is no doubt that Bai Qi is a good marshal, but he is not a good minister. He has never listened to the prime minister and the others. Even if there weren't so many people here, Bai Qi would have started yawning long ago. In Bai Qi's words, he played too late yesterday and needed a good sleep.

Just as Bai Qi stood there with no fun, looking at the generals with the same expression, smiling knowingly, and then continuing to stand there in a daze with boredom, a voice and a sentence caught Bai Qi's attention.

Sanders, the new minister of the Imperial Intelligence Department, stood up and fell to his knees and shouted respectfully: "Report to your Majesty, I have something to say, too..."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Ziming pretended to be confused and asked with a curious look on his face. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the intelligence department would never say anything more at the court meeting. After all, there were too many people and people talked about it. I'm afraid that it would be spread out in the next moment. So what the intelligence department said here was approved by Li Ziming. After all, if there was really something important to the intelligence, the first person to know must be Li Ziming, so everyone was curious at this time. They were curious about what the emperor wanted to say with the mouth of the intelligence minister?

"This... Your Majesty... Our Intelligence Department just received the news that the Tianlong Mission came from the sea to our eastern river and sea provinces. Now it has been along the river and is expected to arrive at the imperial capital in three days." The Intelligence Minister said on his knees and said.

"What! What is your intelligence department for eating people! The Tianlong Mission comes from Tianlong, it's fine if you don't know, but you don't know, but you don't know what they are doing in our Jianghai Province and going up the river? What about you? Tell me! What's wrong with your intelligence department? Three days... They can reach the imperial capital in three days. What if they are a legion? With your intelligence ability, I'm afraid that the other person's navy will be driven to the gate of our imperial capital, and we will know! Your Majesty's empress initiated a report to investigate the matter strictly, dismiss the Minister of Intelligence, the Governor and the Governor of the Jianghai Province." The prime minister immediately stood up and said respectfully. When he said this, he spoke with righteous words, making the people around him confused and wonder what the prime minister was doing.

Everyone understood that the Minister of Intelligence said this must be because of Li Ziming's instruction. After all, although the intelligence ability of the Empire has been greatly reduced since the rebellion of former Minister of Intelligence Luther, the Empire's intelligence system is still elite. If they can't even find out this information, they will not believe it. The only explanation is that Li Ziming knew about this and temporarily suppressed it. Although he didn't know what Li Ziming's intention was, it is certain that the emperor did not want everyone to know about this matter in advance, or there were really any other plans. However, everyone present could see this. There was no reason for the Prime Minister, an old official, to be unable to see it, but he still stood up and said such words to make the people around him a little confused. What was going on.

"Your Majesty, it's unfair.. You asked me to throw away all my work and carry out secret missions some time ago. I don't have time to manage these things. I only found out yesterday. You can't blame us for this matter. Our intelligence department's power is mainly concentrated on the major borders of the empire and the enemy countries. However, there is no power in the east. The governor and guard of the Jianghai Province did not report this matter. It's their fault, not our fault." Sanders cried with a grievance. When he said this, he directly pointed his finger at the governor and guard general of the Jianghai Province.

Li Ziming nodded after hearing this, then slapped the table and said angrily: "It's unreasonable. I know that your intelligence department is not guilty, but the governor of the Jianghai Province is still in garrison. He let the Tianlong Mission enter our country without my order, and he did not inform him. It's unreasonable. He deserves death. I have to punish them well!"

"Since that's the case... Your Majesty, I think the governor of the Jianghai Provincial People's Province and the garrison general are probably colluding. They are ill-planned. Your Majesty. This time the mission may be the army next time. So I ask Your Majesty to execute the governor of the Jianghai Provincial People's Province and the garrison general, clean up the Jianghai noble system, and give my empire a good river and mountain, and never let a few worms destroy the military and civil affairs of my Jianghai. Your Majesty has one third of the salt of one-eighth of the iron in the Jianghai Provincial People's Province. It's not too late to ask Your Majesty to order me and I will immediately send someone to wipe them out." The prime minister said with a deep pain on his knees.

As soon as these words were said, everyone around them suddenly became enlightened. It was not that the Prime Minister had a problem, nor that he wanted to go against the emperor. He said that how could the Prime Minister, such an old man, do such a thing? The three of them were singing a double act... It was obvious that they wanted to use this to clean up Jianghai Province...

Everyone knows one thing, that is, there is nothing wrong with Jianghai Province. Without the approval of the emperor, how dare they not report Fang Xing? Even if Fang Xing and the others dare not report it? Although Jianghai Province is a major city, there are not many soldiers, only 50,000. The 50,000 troops and some local garrison troops will kill 100,000 people. How dare 100,000 people challenge the empire? How dare 100,000 troops? How dare they fight against the empire with a total of 35 armies in the empire? How dare they? Unless the garrison general and the governor of the Jianghai Province went crazy together, and the nobles of Jianghai were crazy together, otherwise such a thing would never happen...

Some people who have thought deeply about it have discovered an extremely secret message, that is, it is afraid that the emperor will attack the prince's power. Everyone knows that Jianghai Province is the prince's sphere of influence. One of the governors of Jianghai and the garrison generals was the prince's follower general and the other was the prince's friend. The emperor made a move here clearly to weaken the prince's power. There is rumors that the emperor intends to abolish the prince and let the third prince Li Xunhuan succeed to the throne. In the past, everyone didn't believe it, but now it seems that it is true. The emperor has indeed thought about the prince, otherwise it would not be.

He will deliberately argue with Jianghai Province... In addition to weakening the power of the prince, he may also give everyone a signal, that is, the emperor is dissatisfied with the prince. He is ready to weaken the prince, and then abolish the prince and let the third prince succeed to the throne. Thinking of this, many people are active and considering which side they should stand on. After all, it is impossible to maintain neutrality in the fight for the throne. You must choose someone, otherwise there will be no good results in the end. Even if you really maintain neutrality, I am afraid that the new emperor will not make you feel better at that time.

The battle for the throne is always bloody, and there is no self. The so-called emperor and ministers are the emperor. If you stand in the right way, you will naturally be prosperous, wealthy, and wealthy. If you stand in the wrong way, your family will be broken and your wife will be separated. Neutral people will probably have no good results. This is a bloody lesson summarized by the tens of thousands of years of history of Tianen Continent. Therefore, everyone began to consider who they should support. If they support the prince, it is

It is beneficial to the fact that the prince is now in a stable position. Even if the emperor wants to abolish the prince, it is not easy for the emperor to abolish it. After all, the prince was born as the prince. He has been the prince for forty years. Now the power has long been deeply rooted. I don’t know how many people follow him and are loyal to him. Even the emperor dare not touch him at will. Otherwise, the country will be unstable. If the prince sticks his own way and makes the emperor unable to catch him, he will still be the emperor in the future...

It is also beneficial to support the Three Emperors, Li Xunhuan. The Three Emperors are alone and have a single force. The military only has one friend Bai Qi’s support. The Lanling family, who only has the prime minister in the political circle, will definitely be valued. Moreover, with the support of the emperor, the Three Emperors, although they are young and have weak power, they have a great opportunity to inherit the throne, so many people are swaying there for a while and everyone has a lot of thoughts.

As everyone thought, Li Ziming issued an order to execute the governor of the Jianghai Provincial People's Republic and the garrison general. The two poor people had almost no chance of resistance and had already destined their fate. No matter what, it was no wonder, others, they were only blamed for offending the emperor. This country was always the emperor. No matter how powerful the prince was, he still survived with the emperor. The emperor wanted to kill you... Can you survive?

Bai Qi stood aside and just watched quietly, without saying a word. Although the people around him whispered and expressed a lot, Bai Qi was just tense and refused to say a word. He looked like he was sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, as if he had seen nothing.

"Okay...this matter has been decided, Sanders... Let me ask you, since you got the information yesterday, did the information say what the Dragon Mission was here to do? What purpose did they have? How many people are there in the Dragon Mission this time? You know all the information, let everyone listen to it." After Li Ziming waved his hand to stop the noise, he leaned on the dragon throne and looked down at Sanders in front of him and asked in a low voice.

"This... Your Majesty... The Tianlong Mission has three thousand people this time, divided into ten large ships, which are said to have brought countless gold, silver and jewelry, and various gifts. Their team led this time was Zhao Wuji, the fourth prince of Tianlong. It is said that he was very favored by Emperor Tianlong, and he ranks as the prince. He commanded the nine northern provinces of Tianlong, and all of them were his territory. There are also reports that the emperor liked him very much. It may be passed on to Zhao Wuji. Now he has his own guards, masters, and a large number of

Gold, Silver, Jewelry and Five Thousand Civilians came to our imperial capital together. The purpose is hard to say. Our people are not very clear, but we can roughly know that they probably want us to send troops to attack the Jialan Empire. As for whether there are other purposes, I don’t know." Sanders, who was kneeling there, said everything about the situation of the Tianlong Mission with a serious look on his face. After that, he secretly looked at Li Ziming, then looked around and closed his mouth.

"Five thousand civil servants? Three thousand guards, ten ships of treasures? Hehe... It seems that Tianlong has invested a lot this time, and he doesn't know what the situation of their war with Jialan is like. Tianlong will actually send people from thousands of miles to our Immortal Dynasty to give gifts... Hehe... Tianlong, the most powerful country in the Eastern Continent, actually gave us gifts? It seems that they are already very nervous." The prime minister said with a smile and said, looking at Bai Qi. As the prime minister of the empire, he naturally knew that all the information of Tianlong and Jialan had been sent to Bai Qi. If you want to know the information there, it is useless to ask the intelligence department, but you still have to ask Bai Qi.
