The capital of the empire.
"Your Majesty, you haven't gone to court for three days to discuss matters. All the ministers... you see."
The palace guard was very melancholy.
Ever since His Majesty ran out of the palace to have an accident that day, he fell seriously ill when he returned to the palace. From then on, he was ill and did not go to court every day for three days.
Logically speaking, this is not a big deal. Anyway, this person cannot go to court, and the major issues in the court are all decided by the powerful ministers. At most, they can only get a seal from the emperor himself, and that's it.
But as time went on, there were more and more private rumors.
The emperor has been neglected, and the powerful ministers regard the main bodyguard as nothing. What else can I say, three of the emperors are nine thousand years old.
In short, all kinds of rumors are rampant, and they are all ugly.
Prime Minister Zuo is also a person who cares about face. No, the pressure has come to him, a little bodyguard.
According to the rules, ministers are not allowed to meet the emperor in private, so yesterday Prime Minister Zuo called him over and gave him an interview. In fact, it was just a warning plus a warning.
The meaning is also very simple and clear.
You think of ways to get the emperor to go to court, regardless of real illness or fake illness.
Even if he is really sick, he still has to drag the emperor to court!
This made Fang Qingyu, a bodyguard, look bitter.
Okay, he has become a victim of the court struggle.
At this time, Fang Qingyu wanted to yell, "Why don't we quit the job?" Then he took off the hat that symbolized status and power, held his head high and left directly.
But he didn't dare.
It's not that Fang Qingyu is a coward. Those who can become palace guards must at least have the strength of a third-level genetic warrior. Although most of them rely on the cuteness of their fathers, their strength has a real standard.
Although they are much inferior to those genetic warriors with natural breakthroughs and unique skills, their physical fitness is real.
Even if you can't really put it to use, your figure is still pretty enough!
Yes, the bodyguard who was originally responsible for the emperor's personal safety and for communicating with the emperor and ministers gradually turned into a beautiful vase.
Don't underestimate this vase, among other things, this treatment is really nothing to say.
The salary of a bodyguard officer is not much, but the welfare benefits are second to none even in the imperial capital.
How many people are rushing to send their sons to the palace, just for the high benefits and high treatment.
Fang Qingyu has a large family to support, and even if he is offended by both sides, he cannot just take off his hat and walk away.
Why......
Shaking his head, he tried his best not to think about these things, and returned his thoughts to the matter.
The emperor was condescending, lying on his side on the bed. He glanced sideways at the guard who was kneeling in front of him and did not dare to raise his head, and spoke calmly.
"You want me to go to court?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, otherwise Prime Minister Zuo..."
"You mean, let me give an explanation to Prime Minister Zuo?"
These words were a bit serious. Fang Qingyu couldn't catch it and threw himself to the ground without daring to express his anger.
"I will die."
"Since you know Wan is dead, why don't you get out of here!"
Fang Qingyu was caught off guard. Before he could explain a few words, a strong airflow blew him out. The two-meter-old man didn't even have a chance to resist, and was driven out in disgrace.
Then there was a cold warning.
"Go and tell Prime Minister Zuo that it is up to Gu to decide whether he will go to court or not. No one can make this decision for Gu!"
"otherwise……"
Otherwise, if Fang Qingyu didn't hear it, he wouldn't be able to hear it, because this powerful airflow directly blew him far away, and he wouldn't be able to hear what was said behind him.
Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor did not hurt him, otherwise Fang Qingyu would have shed his skin with just this hand.
And this move also surprised Fang Qingyu secretly.
He never thought that His Majesty, who was so weak in his impression, would become stronger and stronger since that time!
Usually in the Imperial Continent, the age of first natural awakening is between 15 and 20 years old. Although there are exceptions, it will never exceed the age of thirty.
But our Emperor is already over forty years old!
Why does a forty-year-old person still have the first awakening?
More importantly, Fang Qingyu can clearly feel that His Majesty's current strength is by no means what he should have been when he first awakened.
You must know that although he is nothing, he is still a third-level genetic warrior. How could he be blown away by a person who is awakening for the first time with a flick of his sleeve?
This is unrealistic!
This is not the most important thing. What is important is that our Majesty has obviously experienced the expansion of confidence brought by power for the first time, and even his words have become much more domineering than before.
Fang Qingyu can understand this.
After all, when he first gained power, he was very excited, just like a child who just got a new toy. It was novel and felt that he could do anything.
Fang Qingyu can understand these.
But doubts still lingered in his mind.
That is where did His Majesty's ability come from?
…
"I understand, so what you are saying is that the governor of the North District wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of the control of the nobles, so he found an excuse to kill the Locke family and kill the heads of the noble groups one by one. They slaughtered them all, and took advantage of the opponent's unstable situation to directly raise an army and declare independence, is this what you mean?"
Chen Zheng nodded.
"Yes, as Mr. Li said, it makes no sense to say that the governor did not plan in advance. Even if he has the strength to defeat the heroes in the north, he is still weak in any case. If Without advance planning, it is impossible to simply raise an army in such a short period of time. Not only in the North District, but also in the four major districts, they are all reserved for the aristocratic group!"
Li Yi kept tapping his fingers on the table, seeming to be thinking.
"So what you're saying is that the governor never expected to succeed in one fell swoop. He just made a move to disrupt the aristocratic group's position, and then took the opportunity to rise up. So this protracted war was originally part of his plan?"
Chen Zheng was startled and thought of something for a moment. He rolled his eyes and showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Sir, we are just a businessman. We only know a rough idea of these things. The previous analyzes were all based on hearsay. We just want to do business and make money, and have no other thoughts."
Li Yi smiled when he heard this and waved his hand.
"Don't be nervous. I don't mean to trick you. Don't worry about it. I'm not a nobleman. You can rest assured."
After a pause, Li Yi continued.
"To be honest with you, I just want to go to the Imperial Capital and understand some of the situation."
Having said this, Li Yi couldn't help but glance back at Heishan behind him, and found that he still lowered his head and seemed to have no reaction to the conversation between the two.
But Li Yi could still see the other person's true thoughts from his slightly raised feet.
Smiling to himself.
Sample, do you think I can't see it?
"As for the North District, I'm just out of curiosity. Don't mind, Shopkeeper Chen. Why don't you tell me about the situation in the Imperial Capital, as far as you know?"
After saying this, Li Yi quickly glanced behind him without leaving any trace, and found that Heishan's hands and feet were tense and he looked unwilling. He was obviously a little annoyed because the topic did not continue.
Haha... small sample.
"Okay, since Mr. Li is interested, I will tell you, but about my matter..."
"Oh, don't worry about this. No matter how big the problem is, just leave it to him, right?"
Li Yi smiled brightly and said something generously, directed at Yu Heyang's confidants.
The confidant suddenly came to his senses and nodded immediately.
"Yes, yes, this is not a big deal, just leave it to me."
Seeing that the other party finally agreed, Chen Zheng immediately felt relieved and began to tell Li Yi what he knew about the situation in the imperial capital.
