The imperial city of Daxia, the capital of tigers.
The majestic palace located on the dome is like a fairy palace high above, blooming with dazzling brilliance in the sunset.
Deep in the inner garden of the palace.
One after another, the noisy sound of broken utensils came loudly from the palace of the Emperor of Daxia.
"Trash...it's all trash!"
In front of the golden dragon case.
Dozens of Forbidden Palace envoys in brocade uniforms were kneeling on the ground and trembling.
Various scrolls and fragments of porcelain bottles were scattered all over the place.
Xuanyuan Longcheng, wearing a dragon robe, glanced at everyone angrily, his hands trembling silently because of his excitement.
"Your Majesty, calm down..."
The leader of the Forbidden Palace envoy lowered his head and quickly crawled forward on the ground. He kept kowtowing and said: "It is my subordinates who are not doing their job well. Please punish me!"
"For more than a month..."
The Emperor of Daxia frowned on the dragon throne.
Xuanyuan Longcheng picked up the secret letter in his hand and threw it mercilessly at the leading Forbidden Palace envoy.
"I asked you to secretly investigate the misdeeds of that old guy. How dare you, the useless slaves, use this kind of thing to frustrate me!"
Narrow your eyes.
Xuanyuan Longcheng reprimanded in a deep voice: "Do you really think that I dare not kill you?"
When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses were floating on the ground.
The leader of the Forbidden Palace envoy bowed his head on the ground and did not dare to raise his head at all.
The secret letter in front of me recorded almost in detail the whereabouts of Prince Regent Xuanyuan Zhong for more than a month. It was down to the smallest detail.
Even so, they did not find any problem at all about the old prince.
"My subordinates are aware of their crimes...please, Your Majesty, punish me!"
Grit your teeth.
The leader of the Forbidden Palace Envoy was helpless and could only repeat the response mechanically.
The other Forbidden Palace envoys also gritted their teeth and looked miserable.
As the royal eagle dogs, they had to obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor.
But if they were allowed to deal with Xuanyuan Zhong openly, they wouldn't even dare to mess around if they had the courage.
Since the last setback in the main hall, the Xuanyuan Dragon in front of him became determined to kill everyone in Longdu led by Xue Yun.
But before he could officially deal with Longdu, the first obstacle that had to be cleared was the mountain in front of him.
Regent of Daxia——Xuanyuan Zhong!
This respected senior member of the royal family was the real culprit who restricted the imperial power in his hands.
As long as he is around, Xuanyuan Long's achievements will always be restrained.
Not to mention targeting the princes of the Twelve Fortress Cities, if things continue like this, my throne may be in danger.
But Xuanyuan Zhong is a member of the royal family after all, and it is not easy to eradicate him.
If there was no relevant evidence of crime, Xuanyuan Longcheng would not dare to take action easily.
Unfortunately, his emissary from the Forbidden City handed over a secret letter that was almost useless.
As stated in the secret letter——
Xuanyuan Zhong, who lives in simplicity, besides drinking tea at home every day, takes care of the flowers, plants and trees in front of the wooden house. Even when dignitaries in the imperial city come to visit, he avoids them and cannot find any fault at all.
This result finally made Xuanyuan Longcheng, who had been extremely aggrieved, become angry with shame.
At the same time, it also let him know that successfully overthrowing the mountain of Xuanyuan Zhong is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky!
"roll......"
He lowered his head and gritted his teeth secretly.
Xuanyuan Longcheng raised his hands in despair, kicked over the golden dragon bank in front of him, and shouted hysterically: "You bunch of trash, get out of here!"
Dozens of Forbidden Palace envoys were already frightened out of their wits.
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor did not condemn him, he immediately kowtowed and thanked him. In the end, he still did not dare to get up, and they all crawled on the ground and retreated out of the palace one by one.
"You immortal thing, so many years have passed, why are you still alive in this world, and why did you choose this time to return to the imperial city?!"
In the huge bedroom.
Xuanyuan Longcheng was the only one left, slumped on the dragon chair with all his strength.
He couldn't help but clenched his fists.
The Emperor of Daxia in front of him gritted his teeth and his forehead was covered with veins. When he thought of the experience of being slapped in the face in the main hall, he felt that he had suffered a great shame and humiliation.
At this moment.
A thin palace maid walked into the palace tremblingly.
But she looked at the mess on the ground, then quickly lowered her head, not daring to take another look.
"Qi, Qi, your Majesty..." The palace maid in front of her bowed her head and said.
He drooped his eyelids.
Xuanyuan Longcheng suddenly raised his head and asked impatiently: "What's the matter?!"
Kneeling on the ground and acting trembling, the palace maid responded respectfully: "Master Lin from the Coordinating Office said that he has something important to ask to see His Majesty. He has been waiting outside the palace for a long time now..."
Startled slightly.
Xuanyuan Longcheng raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little suspicious.
The so-called "Coordination Office" is an official functional agency that cooperates with the Imperial City and Hudu to uniformly control the remaining eleven fortress cities.
Although the eleven fortress cities have long been entrusted to various princes, they have great autonomy.
But in name, they were still vassals of the Great Xia Empire.
The eleven fortress cities still need to pay and abide by the taxes that need to be paid every year and the policies related to the unification of the Great Xia Empire.
Therefore, the coordination and control work in this area is handled by the "Coordination Office".
all in all.
This powerful department has been an important tool used by the Daxia royal family to manage and contain the other eleven fortress cities and major princes since ancient times.
As for Mr. Lin whom the maid mentioned, he is the person in charge of the "Coordination Office".
He is also the contemporary head of the Lin family in the Imperial City and the biological father of brothers Lin Chen and Lin Aoran - Lin Zerong!
"What is he here for?"
He pondered for a moment.
Xuanyuan Longcheng adjusted his sitting posture, nodded and said: "Summon him to see him."
There was a pause.
Seeing the chaos in the palace, Xuanyuan Longcheng stopped the maid who was about to leave again, and shouted in a deep voice: "Why don't you call a few more servants to come over and clean this place for me!?"
The maid in front of her was frightened and quickly withdrew to make proper arrangements.
It doesn't take a while.
Several attendants walked into the palace and immediately tidied up the messy palace in front of them spotlessly.
It was as if everything unpleasant just now had never happened.
next moment--
A middle-aged man in rich clothes walked slowly into the palace under the leadership of a maid.
"My dear, Lin Zerong, long live my emperor!"
Without hesitation, he knelt down on the ground and bowed to Xuanyuan Longcheng in front of the Long Case.
The Lin Zerong in front of him had a standard medium build. His temples were white, and his sword-shaped eyebrows were somewhat similar to Lin Chen's.
However, there is a hint of sinister temperament between his eyebrows, but he is obviously much more sophisticated than his two sons.
"Ai Qing's life..."
He raised his hand slightly.
Xuanyuan Longcheng, who was in front of him, had already put away his previous decadence, and asked calmly: "I wonder what matters Aiqing has to do, why are you so anxious to see me?"
"Report to Your Majesty!"
Still didn't raise his head.
Lin Zerong kowtowed heavily and said in a deep voice: "I am brave, I am willing to relieve your majesty's worries and take action on your behalf to get rid of the two major cancers in our Great Xia Empire!"
