How much say does the emperor of Simeng have?
The answer is no.
If Han Dongwen is alone, he may have no choice but to call Xiao Hongdou, or use a knife to threaten Li Zai with suicide and the bronze bird seal.
But for Simeng, Han Dongwen is the one who deserves the most say. The back-and-forth struggle between the three divisions is not something that can be brought to light.
Just like the An Haijin incident, even if Tantai resumed preparations for the Yin Kingdom's legal department, His Highness Han Dongwen would still be needed as a mouthpiece to issue decrees and speak out.
Han Dongwen's right to speak depends on what he is saying and who is standing behind him.
As soon as he was given the task of rescuing Tilda, he sent his subordinates to support the border. At the same time, Manjusri, the national finance minister, wanted the winner to take all. It can be said that he is very greedy and very dangerous.
Based on this, Han Dongwen judged that these events could not be good news for either the National Law Department or the National Military Department.
Right now, behind him, there should be the Tantai father and son and the Jiang sisters to provide him with power.
Coupled with the title of Prince Gao, this is probably the time when Han Dongwen has the strongest back in history. If he does not clamp down on Guojinsi at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Manjusri and this old fox to give him another chance.
"But do you really want to let the envoy leave like this?"
The group of people had already left Dingfa Pavilion. In front of the palace gate, Jiang Ningyun looked at Han Dongwen and asked.
Li Zai stood aside with his hands folded, as if he didn't care what they were talking about, but Han Dongwen knew very well that as many words as he heard, it was basically as if Tantai Fu also heard them.
"No, if the mission runs away, it will basically bet all on the fact that the Grand Duke of West Asia wakes up, and then we will continue to look at Manjusri's face."
Han Dongwen's face was still very ugly, and the reason came from the embroidered bag held by a Xiubu guard behind him - which contained the Yunbo Sword without a whole body.
This thing was originally one of Han Dongwen's few supports, but now it is broken into pieces like this. It's really...
Han Dongwen let out a long sigh and waved his hand towards Jiang Ningyun: "It's okay. I have other arrangements for the mission. I can't let them go, and I won't just follow the wishes of the National Finance Division so easily."
"But what does Your Highness want..."
"Wait until Concubine Yin tells you."
Han Dongwen said no more, and Jiang Ningyun could only nodded.
After being escorted to the palace gate, the next step is to be escorted by Xiu Bu.
She waited for Han Dongwen to lower the side curtains on the carriage and bowed to the carriage that gradually entered the palace gate. She did not stand up again until there was no trace of His Highness anymore.
——————
"You did a good job protecting me."
While driving in the palace carriage, Han Dongwen leaned against the side of the carriage and looked at Li Zai, who was guarding in front of him.
He still had the same lazy expression and lowered his head slightly: "Your Highness is serious, today's accident was not an assassination, and it cannot be regarded as an escort. Besides, there are two lord chiefs present, and what they did in their humble position is just useless work."
"Yeah……"
Han Dongwen sighed, paused for a moment, put his hand on the embroidered bag containing the Yunpo Sword fragments, and suddenly said coldly:
"How much do you plan to report to Tantai about today's events?"
Li Zai smiled and said: "As a lieutenant, I am only responsible for the safety of His Highness."
Han Dongwen also gave a rare smile: "If you deceive the emperor, you should be killed."
"Your Highness is joking...well, as a subordinate, Yujun will report to the commander-in-chief during the day. This has always been the rule in the military department."
Han Dongwen's expression did not change and he just repeated:
"Those who deceive the emperor should be killed."
Li Zai paused for a moment, opened his eyes slightly and looked at Han Dongwen: "I don't understand in my humble position."
"All right."
Han Dongwen sighed and said softly: "I once had a long dream, which I couldn't explain. How about I tell you about it?"
"Your Highness, please speak."
"I dreamed that the world was in turmoil, Simeng was in ruins, and the unruly people rebelled and entered the palace. I was running around in my dream, but I didn't see the five departments of the State and Finance Department. There was only one person in vain. Why is this?"
Li Zai smiled: "Your Highness, when I hear folk interpretations of dreams, I often take the opposite meaning. Isn't this the auspicious meaning of dreaming of peace and tranquility in the world?"
Han Dongwen waved his hand: "No one can tell whether he is safe or not. As long as you think about it, why don't you see the five departments of the National Finance Department?"
Li Zai pondered for a moment and said: "The five members of the National Finance Department are not responsible for the palace guards. If Simeng is no longer a country in your highness's dream, I am afraid that all the five members of the National Finance Department have fled and been dispersed."
"good."
Han Dongwen nodded: "It seems that they are indeed on the run, but I haven't seen the Eighth Department of the National Army. Why is that?"
Li Zai smiled bitterly: "The National Military Division has always been loyal to the emperor and served the country. If I hadn't seen him, I think all eight of them would have died for the country."
His answer was very greasy, and Han Dongwen shrugged: "In short, the unruly people rebelled, causing internal and external troubles, but only one person was left to guard the palace. I took a closer look and saw that it was you, the lieutenant, who was so loyal and abide by his duties, even in his dreams. , I am also deeply moved!"
Li Zai blinked, not understanding what Han Dongwen meant.
Inject yourself with chicken blood or something?
"If so, I will certainly live up to your highness's trust in my humble position." Li Zai replied perfunctorily.
"You definitely live up to it."
Han Dongwen patted Li Zai on the shoulder: "After all, as a lieutenant in the Xiu Department, you have the Bronze Bird Seal, so I can rest assured."
Li Zai pondered for a long time without making a sound. Han Dongwen looked at the silent and puzzled personal guard with an intriguing expression of relief.
Just when the ice burst and Li Zai was escorting him, Han Dongwen realized something strange.
Indeed, today was not an assassination, nor was there any danger. What Li Zai did was perfectly normal.
But what's not normal?
The original game is not normal!
If according to the original timeline of the game, the National Military Division has abandoned the mouthpiece of Lord Wen, the National Legal Division has also given up on Han Dongwen, and the National Financial Division has fled...
Then why did Li Zai keep Han Dongwen in the palace?
Such a stupid and stupid king has no relationship between the king and his subjects. Why would Li Zai stand guard for the king of plague when this kind of building is about to collapse, and even stand as the boss at the end of the level?
Han Dongwen didn't think about it at first, but today he suddenly figured it out.
The moment the ice broke, Han Dongwen thought for a moment consciously and consciously whether there was an assassination attempt and who was going to do it.
He did not rule out Manjusri trying to assassinate him, so he subconsciously did not get close to Manjusri.
After some thought, he thought that it was not Jiang Ningyun, because Fa Si still needed him at the moment.
But only Li Zai and Han Dongwen directly ruled out the suspicion without any hesitation.
Because of the Bronze Bird Seal, killing Han Dongwen is equivalent to killing Li Zai.
He will not assassinate, on the contrary, he will have to sacrifice his life to protect His Highness.
The moment this thought came to Han Dongwen's mind, he suddenly remembered the original game's timeline.
Did Li Zai stay in the palace because he had to protect Han Dongwen because he had the bronze bird seal tied to him?
no!
If his "variable" hadn't appeared, if he hadn't violated the game's script when he visited West Asia, the Bronze Bird Seal would have been on Zhong Lilin and had nothing to do with Li Zai.
Li Zai stayed in the palace without joining the army, not to protect Han Dongwen, the plague king.
What he protected was the person who shared the same life with Han Dongwen in the original timeline.
What he was protecting was the son of the captain who had committed suicide by hanging himself in the National Military Division without fighting against Tantai and his son. He was his original superior and senior.
In this case, the National Defense Department may not be monolithic.
