"Zhantian is the commander-in-chief of our military, the elite of the empire, and the foundation of the country's strength. Originally, I had given permission for Commander Zhantian to retire from the imperial court, but in view of his great military achievements and the requests of many ministers in the empire, I withdrew it. Success."
"Now is a troubled time, and war is about to break out on the empire's borders. It is the time for the commander-in-chief to protect the homeland and the country. Therefore, I appointed Zhan Tian as the commander-in-chief of the east of the empire, leading an army to guard the borders to prevent other countries from offending the empire's divine power."
"Zhan Yin and Zhan Yi are the commanders of our empire's capital city guarding corps. They have served well in guarding the capital for many years, so I appointed them to follow Commander Zhan Tian to guard the borders of the empire and go with Commander Zhan Tian."
"Xue Feng, the commander of the Zhan Tian Legion that guards the frontier in the northwest of the empire, has made outstanding military achievements in defending the World of Warcraft Forest for many years. Therefore, I appointed Xue Feng to lead the Zhan Tian Legion to follow Zhan Tian to protect the east of the empire. Everything will be carried out as mentioned above."
"This order takes effect immediately. After the ancestor is buried, he will take office immediately without any mistakes. I feel at ease with the guardian family guarding the border. I hope that the commander of Zhan Tian will achieve great military exploits again."
"Brother Zhan Tian, ??what do you think of this imperial edict? Is this a good thing?" Li Qiang slowly closed the edict, looked at the four Zhan Tian people with a smile, and said with a smile.
"Haha It's a good thing, a huge good thing. Come on, brother Li Qiang, come in and have a sip of tea. You have to tell me what's going on. Brother, I'm still in the dark. It¡¯s in the drum.¡±
After Zhan Tian thanked the emperor for his kindness, he reached out and took Li Qiang's arm and walked into the hall. Judging from the way the two of them were chatting and laughing, if I didn't know their relationship, I would have thought they were two good brothers.
"HahaBrother Zhan Tian, ??to be honest, your attitude yesterday made the emperor very angry. Fortunately, brothers, I and the ministers helped, otherwise the emperor would really deal with you."
After the two sat down, Li Qiang looked at Zhan Tian and said with an ugly expression. Zhan Tian smiled in his heart, if you don't harm the Zhan family, I will burn high incense. If you really help the Zhan family, you will really be damned. The sun rises from the west.
"Haha Thank you brother for your kind words in front of the emperor. Come and get the treasures I collected." Zhan Tian shouted, and he was chatting with Li Qiang there. The housekeeper hurriedly went to the study to get the antiques collected by Zhan Tian.
Soon after, Zhan Tian took the treasures brought by the housekeeper and handed them to Li Qiang. "Brother Zhan Tian, ??what does this mean? Am I pleading for brother just because you can give me something? If you do this, I will be angry." Li Qiang said pretending to be angry.
"Haha Look, brother, what are you talking about? Over the years, I have offended my brother a lot. This is a belated apology gift to my brother. You must accept it, otherwise, you will look down on me. brother."
"They are both the same thing. They are as smart as ghosts. They say one thing to others and another to ghosts. How could Zhan Tian not know that Li Qiang was doing this on purpose? Li Qiang pushed and blocked him many times, but finally accepted it.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Qiang exchanged a few words with Zhan Tian again and left. As soon as Li Qiang left, Zhan Tian's face turned gloomy, and he looked at the three Zhan Yin below without saying a word.
"Father, what do you think the emperor means? He has mobilized us all to defend the border. Has the emperor changed his mind?" Xue Feng couldn't bear his father's gaze, so he asked.
"Hmph Why have you changed your mind? He is trying to kill us." Zhan Yi snorted and said angrily. Xue Feng was puzzled and looked at his elder brother.
"Third brother, it seems that this appointment is a good job, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually harming us. The border war is about to break out, and multiple countries are attacking together. No matter how powerful we are, it will not be easy to deal with."
"In addition, the emperor has handed over matters such as recruits and food and grass to Li Qiang. According to Li Qiang's personality, do you think he will be safe and sound when we start the battle? He will definitely seize this opportunity. Opportunity, punish us to death, I think the emperor also means this."
Zhan Yin looked at his father and saw that he didn't speak, so he explained to Xue Feng. After listening to Zhan Yin's words, Xue Feng suddenly thought clearly about the crisis inside, his face full of anger.
"Father, two generations of my Zhan family have served the empire wholeheartedly. Is this how the emperor treats us? Rather than die inexplicably like this, we might as well" Xue Feng said angrily.
"Okay, you all go down. Let me think about this matter. Since our Zhan family has received such an order, then the other four families must be similar." Zhan Tian waved his hand and said softly. said. Zhan Yin and the other three looked at each other, excused themselves from Zhan Tian and went out.
?Zhan Tian was right. After Li Qiang left the Zhan family, he went to the other four families to read out the imperial edict. The meanings in the imperial edicts are almost the same.
Under the leadership of Ai Hu, all the Ai family were transferred to the northeast of the empire to defend other countries. Under the leadership of Wang Hong, the Wang family was transferred to the southeast of the empire to defend other countries.
Prime Minister Feisi, the emperor did not move. After all, he was the prime minister, and he could not move just by asking. However, some of his power has been more or less divided, and he is considered an empty shell.
Lin Dong, the finance minister of the empire. The emperor decisively took back the power of the finance minister and transferred Lin Dong to the empire's Ministry of Rites to hold an important position. While cultivating a knowledgeable and sensible person for the empire, he cultivated his moral character at home.
These orders sound like a good thing, but if you think about it carefully, you can see the dangers. But even if they saw the emperor's intention, the heads of the five families had no way to resist and could only obey.
In the imperial edict read by Li Qiang, you can hear the words "Guardian of the Family". The meaning is obvious. Since you are the guardian family of the empire, it is necessary to leave these matters to you, and I will be relieved.
"Compared with the various transfers of the five families, Li Qiang's side also moved accordingly. But they all took over the original positions of the five families, and their power was doubled. Li Qiang was so happy that he couldn't sleep at night.
When Li Qiang read out the imperial edict, the emperor officially came forward to acknowledge the death of his ancestor in the war to all the countries in the mainland. Once the news was confirmed by the emperor, it quickly spread to all parts of the north and south of the mainland.
The ancestor is the patron saint of the Pujin Empire. It can be said that the reason why the Pujin Empire can sit on the throne of the most powerful country in the mainland is that the ancestor definitely plays an indispensable role. Without our ancestors, there would be absolutely no Pujin Empire today.
Now that the ancestor has died in battle, without his blessing, can the Pujin Empire continue to develop in such a stable manner? The answer is obviously no. Before the news spread, those countries that had received accurate information began to take action.
Especially the small countries surrounding the Putin Empire, they are often suppressed by the Putin Empire. Now that they finally have this opportunity, how could they let it go? In the dark, they strengthened the army on the border with Pugin's empire. These are actions taken by small countries. Although they are troublesome, they are not enough to take seriously.
What the Pujin Empire should worry about is the Bright Empire, which is also in the north of the mainland. The Bright Empire has had many disputes with the Pujin Empire. Now that it has received accurate news that its ancestor was killed in battle, the pace of the attack is even more rapid.
As one of the largest empires on the continent, the Bright Empire is absolutely powerful. Several large armies of the Bright Empire pressed on the border at the same time, and even the Pujin Empire found it difficult to cope with them.
Regarding the situation on the frontier battlefield, the legions guarding the frontier will send reports to the capital every day. And these latest battle situations, without exception, are all unfavorable.
The most powerful country in the mainland is not only a respected name, but also a symbol of strength. It is also the goal of the royal families of various countries. This is a temptation that no one can bear, a supreme name.
"Compared to the actions of various countries on the mainland, the Putin Empire has suffered the greatest impact and impact. The economic impact and the strong wailing of the citizens are all factors that affect the stability of the empire.
The ancestor is a god in the hearts of the people. Now that the gods have fallen, their reliance and faith have also fallen with them, which has severely hit their hearts.
Soon after the emperor confirmed the news of his ancestor¡¯s death in battle, various places in the Pujin Empire spontaneously organized gatherings to mourn his ancestor. White lanterns are hung in front of every house, and white cloth strips are tied around the waist.
Strong and uneasy emotions quickly filled the hearts of the citizens of the Pujin Empire. The local city lord once wanted to suppress it, but after several strong resistances, they had to play the role of organizers.
In the capital city, the most central city of the Pujin Empire, the center of the empire's economy. Today, after receiving the accurate news, there were a lot of people on the streets. Everyone was wearing white clothes and wearing white ribbons on their heads, and they spontaneously worshiped in front of the Emperor Mountain.
On Dishen Mountain, Situ Tong and his wife stood in a daze where their ancestor lived. Scenes from the past unfolded in their heads. "Ancestor, please go away, I will miss you." Situ Tong murmured, turned and walked down the mountain.
"All ashes return to ashes, and dust returns to dust." After walking a few steps, Situ Tong turned his head sharply. His pale hair was windless and his eyes were bloodshot.
Situ Tong flicked his sleeves towards the house where his ancestor lived, and a surging energy surged out. The house where his ancestor lived disappeared completely, leaving only the table and a few tables in front of the door. A stone bench wasted time in the wind and rain.
Just as Situ Tong said, after the ancestor died in battle, everything will return to dust and return to dust. Although such a situation has not happened yet, looking at the current situation of the empire, it is estimated that everything will come true.
Soon after Situ Tong and Huang Yan left, four more white-haired old people came here. They are all holy-level warriors on the Emperor Mountain, and they were personally invited by the ancestor.
The four of them stood there, no one said anything, they just kept staring at the remaining stone benches and tables. Each of them has sat here and talked with their ancestors, and their thoughts about their ancestors remain here.
They are people who survived the War of Warcraft and witnessed the death of their ancestors. When their ancestor died in battle, they were shocked and sad. After the war started, they made countless predictions, but they never thought that their ancestor would die in battle. The death of their ancestor had a great impact on them.
Thinking of their ancestor¡¯s previous teachings to themselves and others, their hearts felt uneasy. They are all saint-level warriors, and they no longer have too much involvement in the world. What they want in life is that their strength can improve again in their lifetime.
And this progress is all based on the ancestor's past experience. These experiences can help them avoid many detours and speed up their cultivation.
"Ashes return to ashes, soil returns to earth." After the four of them stood here for a long time, their bodies slowly faded away, and only after they disappeared did a voice sound softly.
In the south study room of the Imperial Palace, the emperor sat solemnly on the dragon chair, looking at Li Qiang below with a smile on his face. "Prime Minister Li, they didn't say anything, did they?"
"Your Majesty, they didn't say anything, but it seems to Yichen that they are still somewhat unconvinced." Li Qiang looked at the Emperor with a smile and said.
"Hmph This cannot tolerate their objection." The emperor snorted, his face extremely ugly. "The emperor's dragon body is important. Let me leave this matter to the old minister to ensure that the emperor's purpose is achieved." Li Qiang said.
"Well, I'll leave it to you. Remember, if they dare to object, they will be directly punished for treason and collaboration with the enemy." The emperor's deep voice sounded, and his face was a little ferocious.
"I understand, Your Majesty, I will never let you down." Li Qiang was very happy after listening to the Emperor's words. The fate of the five families was in his own hands.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that requires your consent." Li Qiang calmed down his excitement, looked at the Emperor and said respectfully.
"What's the matter? Is it about the ancestor?" The emperor frowned slightly and said calmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, citizens from all over the empire are now spontaneously organizing condolences to their ancestors. Citizens in the capital even spontaneously gathered under the Emperor Mountain to worship their ancestors. Look at this" Li Qiang said .
"Huh didn't you expect that this old immortal thing is quite popular? Let's announce to the world that a month-long funeral will be held for the ancestor. The people of the whole country will wear mourning to worship the ancestor." Listening to Li Qiang's words, the emperor suddenly hummed. A sound. Before the ancestor died, the ancestor had been protecting the five families, which made the emperor very unhappy.
"Your Majesty, when will you come to hold the funeral for our ancestor?" Li Qiang asked. Li Qiang was not surprised by the emperor's views on his ancestor.
"Three days later, three days later, a funeral will be held for the ancestor, and he will be buried according to the most solemn burial ceremony in the empire. If there is nothing important, don't come here to ask about it. You can handle it with full authority." The emperor waved his hand and said softly said. After Li Qiang responded, he resigned.
