- The south study room of the palace is magnificent and decorated extremely luxuriously. It was early in the morning, and two people were standing in the south study room. The man standing respectfully below is wearing a dragon robe and is the current emperor.
But on the dragon chair that was supposed to be the emperor's seat, there was a man in black robes sitting. The man in black robes was wearing a black robe that covered his whole body, only revealing a face with a gray mask.
"How is it? How is things going?" The man in black robe wore a mask and looked at the emperor standing below. An old and hoarse voice came out from under the gray mask.
"My lord, everything is going according to plan. I believe that within the time given by my lord, I will be able to complete the tasks assigned by my lord."
Listening to the voice of the man in black robe, the emperor's face was full of respect, his body was slightly bent, his eyes were looking at the ground, and he answered respectfully.
"Well, this is the deadline. If you still fail to complete the task, you know the consequences." The man in black robe listened to the emperor's answer, his voice did not change at all, but it gave off a cold feeling.
"I understand, sir, I will definitely complete the tasks assigned by you." The emperor listened to the words of the man in black robe, bowed deeply, and his voice was even more respectful.
"I already know the news about Ximen Yan's death in battle. Now that there is no obstruction from Ximen Yan, I believe you will complete the task much earlier. Don't let me down." The man in black robe's voice became colder. He stared at the emperor through the mask and said.
"Don't worry, I will complete the task as soon as possible and will definitely not delay your master's plan." Listening to the man in black robe's increasingly cold voice, the emperor's body trembled slightly and he said with certainty.
"Huh I hope you can remember what you said. When you come next time, I hope you have completed the task." The man in black robe stood up and snorted coldly, his body slowly faded, and then disappeared.
The emperor bent down and waited for a long time. When he saw that there was no sound from above, he raised his head and took a peek. Seeing that the man in black robe had left, he slowly straightened up and without saying a word, he stepped forward and sat on the dragon chair.
The emperor had a sad look on his face, his fingers kept tapping on the table, his brows were deeply furrowed, his face was full of thinking, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li has come to see the Emperor." While the Emperor was thinking about the matter with a frown on his face, a guard walked in from the door and said respectfully with his head lowered.
"Oh? Prime Minister Li is here? Hurry, announce that Prime Minister Li is coming." When the emperor heard that Prime Minister Li was here, the expression on his face instantly improved, and he hurriedly said to the guards.
The guards exited, and Prime Minister Li walked in. After kneeling on the ground to greet the emperor, he was called by the emperor. Prime Minister Li stood respectfully below, looked at the emperor and said.
"Your Majesty, regarding yesterday's decision" Before Prime Minister Li finished speaking, the Emperor said angrily: "Prime Minister Li, do you even want to plead with those people?"
"No, Your Majesty. Your Majesty's decision is right, but Your Majesty, please think twice. If they are allowed to retreat, our empire will" Li Cheng saw that the Emperor was angry and said quickly.
"Destroy? Huh Could it be that my empire can no longer survive without people like them? Is their influence that great? You don't need to say any more, I have made up my mind." The emperor listened to Prime Minister Li He was even more angry and said with a decisive look.
"Your Majesty, you have to think twice. I know that Your Majesty has always wanted to deal with Zhan Tian and others, but it is definitely not possible at this moment. You must know that before his death, our ancestor personally sealed the five families as the guardian families of the empire. If we touch them now, it will inevitably make the people suspicious and chill the soldiers." Prime Minister Li said unwillingly.
"Humph" The emperor snorted lightly, but judging from his appearance, he was obviously thinking about what Prime Minister Li said. The ancestor's influence in the empire was something that he, the emperor, could not compete with.
"Then what are we going to do now? Do you want me to regret it? Yesterday I agreed to them. If I regret it, what reasons will I find?" After a long time, the emperor said.
"Your Majesty, it's not difficult. Just for the sake of the officials interceding for them and for their merits on the battlefield, let's spare them this time." After hearing the emperor's change of words, Prime Minister Li quickly said.
"Butshould we still allow them to take control of the military? You must know that their power is a serious threat to my rule. We must find a way to solve this matter, otherwise we should allow them to retreat."
"Your Majesty, you can leave the task of defending the border to them. They are the guardians of the family. It is their duty to serve the country. I believe they will not say anything." Prime Minister Li said.??.
"What? Let them garrison the border? Doesn't that give them greater military power than before? Prime Minister Li, didn't you hear what I said?" The emperor said angrily.
"Your Majesty, you can think about it differently. Now wars on the border will break out soon. Although the military forces of those countries are weak, they are a force that cannot be ignored when they are gathered together. Let Zhan Tian and the others defend the border. When the time comes, we can If he caused trouble during his tenure, even if he dies, it is none of our business."
Prime Minister Li smiled sinisterly, very happy with the solution he came up with. The war on the border continues, even if Zhan Tian dies, all you need to do is express condolences for him. This will achieve your goal and the people will not say anything.
"Haha Okay, this method is good, then I will leave this matter to you. If Zhan Tian and the others are still determined to retreat, then allow them to do so. I don't believe that the empire will collapse without them. "The emperor said with a big smile.
Prime Minister Li listened with a happy expression on his face. He said yes again and again and resigned. When he went out, Prime Minister Li thought: What an idiot emperor, let me keep you for a while longer.
In the hall of the Zhan family's mansion, Zhan Tian looked at the three people kneeling below with an angry look. The three of them were Zhan Yin, Zhan Yi and Xue Feng who had just returned.
After the meeting yesterday, the three brothers went to the pub to drink because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they didn't come back until now. The three of them had just returned when they saw Zhan Tian standing in the hall with an angry look on his face. The three of them knelt on the ground amidst Zhan Tian's scolding, but there was no expression on their faces.
"Hmph you three idiots, why did you ask us to retire at the imperial meeting yesterday? We five old guys are already old and want to retire at home. What about you? Are you also old?"
Zhan Tian looked at the three people below and was furious. Originally, the five family heads discussed that the five of them should retire in order to gain the emperor's forgiveness and stop attacking the five families.
Who knew that that scene would happen, making them seem to be forced into the palace. Thinking about what the emperor said at yesterday's meeting, Zhan Tian's mind sank. What should we do?
Doesn¡¯t this make the emperor hate the five families even more? If he used this as an excuse to deal with the five families, the five families would really have nothing to say.
"Father" Zhan Yin looked at the other two people who were silent and smiled bitterly. As soon as he started to speak, he was interrupted by Zhan Tian. "Everyone, stand up, Li Qiang is here." Zhan Tian stood up and said.
"HahaBrother Zhan Tian, ??I'm here to congratulate you. You can thank me properly." Just as Zhan Yin and the other three stood up, Li Qiang's voice rang outside the door.
"Heyisn't this Prime Minister Li? What brought the great god like you here? Look at me, brother, I look like someone who has met a happy event. Prime Minister Li, it's better not to tell jokes."
Seeing Prime Minister Li slowly walking in, Zhan Tian's face was filled with a smile, not because of anything else, but because Li Qiang was holding an imperial edict in his hand, Zhan Tian's heart was in a state of confusion. .
"Haha" Prime Minister Li looked at Zhan Tian's smile and said nothing, just smiled. The two have been at odds in the court for so many years, and no one knows who is who.
"Zhan Tian, ??Zhan Yin, Zhan Yi, Xue Feng receives the order!" Li Qiang shouted, and Zhan Tian and the others knelt on the ground to receive the order. "The minister Zhan Tian (Zhan Yin, Zhan Yi, Xue Feng) accepted the order."
