Li Jian opened his mouth and wanted to say something?
However, when he thought that the old monster in front of him was a half-step land god, if he spoke nonsense, his teeth might be smashed. When he thought of this, Li Jian couldn't speak!
"It's just...it's..."
Ancestor Zongheng frowned deeper: "What is it?"
This is the first time Emperor Xia has seen Li Jian dare not say anything!
This is interesting!
He urged directly: "What is it?
"explain!"
Next to them, Sima Jian, Eunuch Wei, and the historian also looked curious!
It is very rare for Taiwei Li Jian to have such a situation!
Li Jian had an idea: "Could it be that weird master who relied on his martial arts skills to suppress you secretly?"
Ancestor Zongheng's brows relaxed: "No!"
"Okay, you don't need to know about my grudges with the weird wife!"
"For you, that era is too long ago!"
"For you, this grudge has nothing to do with you!"
At this time.
Emperor Xia then spoke: "As long as you serve the Great Xia Empire, I promise you that as long as you open the Jixia Underground Palace, I will let you in!"
Ancestor Zongheng said coldly: "Then I, Ancestor, will have no problem!"
"Emperor Daxia, do you have any questions?"
Emperor Xia said seriously: "Since you are now a member of my Daxia Empire, when you meet me in the future, you must not call yourself an ancestor, but call yourself a minister. Can you do that?"
Ancestor Zongheng raised his eyelids: "What if it can't be done?"
"Then our agreement will be void!"
Emperor Xia said very seriously: "My Great Xia Empire will never tolerate an uncontrolled court official. If you can't do it, please do it!"
At this point, Emperor Xia's eyes shone with cold light, he stared at Patriarch Zongheng and said: "Don't think that you are half a land god and you can act arrogantly in front of me. If you are disrespectful to me, I... want you die!"
The death threat issued by the emperor made the entire imperial study room feel cold!
Not only that.
Emperor Xia's dragon robe moved automatically without wind, showing his strength, which made ancestor Zongheng flash a hint of fear in his eyes: "It turns out that you have also reached that state!"
"It's true that the waves behind the river push the waves ahead, and talented people emerge from generation to generation!"
After saying that, Patriarch Zongheng said respectfully: "I, Zongheng, see you, Your Majesty!"
Sima Jian, Li Jian, and Eunuch Wei took a deep look at Emperor Xia!
There is no doubt that Emperor Xia has reached the halfway stage of land immortality!
Moreover, the realm seems to be no weaker than that of Zongheng Ancestor!
Otherwise, Ancestor Zongheng would not have become so well-behaved!
At this time.
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia laughed proudly: "Very good!"
"Since you want to be the right prime minister of the empire, I will..."
The words are not finished yet.
Li Jian interrupted and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the ancestor of Zongheng is ignorant of political affairs and does not understand the operation of the Great Xia court, so he is not qualified to be the right prime minister of the Great Xia Empire!"
Ancestor Zongheng's eyes were filled with cold light: "Little guy, do you dare to criticize me?"
Li Jian was not afraid at all and said proudly: "Zongheng, even if you are the right minister of the imperial court now, you still have to salute me when you see me, so don't be presumptuous!"
"Look, what's your attitude?"
"Apologise to me, Lieutenant!"
Ancestor Zongheng: "..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Emperor Xia coughed a few times to ease the embarrassment of the situation: "Prime Minister Zongheng, Li Aiqing is right. In terms of title, he is indeed higher than you. When you see him, you must salute!"
Ancestor Zongheng gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Lieutenant Li, and Prime Minister Zuo, don't worry, the greatest ability of the Zongheng School is external relations!"
"But he is also good at handling government affairs!"
"give me sometime!"
"Hmph..."
Li Jian looked unbelieving: "Then you should study in the court for a period of time, and then you can handle the government affairs as the right minister!"
"By then, Lieutenant Commander I will have no objections!"
Ancestor Zongheng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he wished he could slap Li Jian to death.
However, a little impatience will mess up a big plan!
He can only endure!
Emperor Xia frowned: "Then now that the right minister is vacant in the court, who will be responsible for the government affairs of the right minister?"
"me!"
Li Jian patted his chest and said: "Your Majesty, I have been in the court for decades, and no one knows what to do when sitting in the position of right prime minister better than me!"
"So, this is the right place for me to sit!"
Emperor Xia: "..."
Sima Jian's mouth twitched!
Sure enough, this guy started again!
Ancestor Zongheng became murderous and began to evaluate the consequences of killing Li Jian in his mind!
The imperial study fell into silence again!
finally.
Emperor Xia said: "You can't do it!"
Li Jian argued hard: "Old minister, go!"
"You can not!"
"I can!"
Emperor Xia felt the veins on his forehead throbbing and had a severe headache: "As long as you don't compete for the position of right-hand minister of the court, everything else is easy!"
Li Jian looked disappointed: "Your Majesty, since the court does not need the help of veterans, then you can send them to Qingzhou!"
"The deposed prince cannot go back. The Zhao family has been deposed, but the Zhao family is still the most powerful in Qingzhou. If no one goes to Qingzhou to take charge, the Zhao family will definitely cause trouble. Therefore, I ask you to go to Qingzhou to share your majesty's worries!"
Sima Jian also echoed: "Your Majesty, there is no prince in Qingzhou, and the Zhao family will be powerful. It is indeed a big problem!"
"If Lieutenant Li goes to take charge of Qingzhou, he will definitely be able to appease the Zhao family and make Qingzhou okay!"
Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and asked: "Li Jian, there was a rumor in the court that you are a member of the prince's party. Is it true or false?"
Li Jian shook his head decisively: "Fake."
Emperor Xia asked again: "Later, someone told me that you took refuge in Xiaojiu and supported Xiaojiu. Is it true or false?"
Li Jian knelt down: "Your Majesty, I will only be yours for the rest of my life!"
Emperor Xia said with complicated eyes: "Well said!"
"I conquered this great summer. As my follower, you can only be mine for the rest of your life!"
"Li Jian listens!"
Li Jian knelt down and said, "I accept the order!"
Emperor Xia raised his eyes and looked out of the imperial study room, as if he saw Qingzhou: "I order you to go to Qingzhou Prince's Mansion to recruit and train troops in Qingzhou. In addition to appeasing the Zhao family and dismantling the Zhao family's power, you also have to station troops in Tianmen Mountain. Prevent those untouchables and refugees from rioting in Huangzhou from causing harm to the Central Plains!"
"Listen carefully, if those untouchables and refugees cause trouble, they will be wiped out immediately without mercy!"
"If Xiaojiu follows around and makes trouble, bring him back to me too!"
Li Jian's eyes flashed with excitement: "Yes!"
His goal of going to Qingzhou was achieved.
Now, the governor of Qingzhou is his godson Li Fei, and Qingzhou belongs to Prince Xia!
Just when he is happy.
Ancestor Zongheng asked for orders: "Your Majesty, Zongheng also wants to go to Qingzhou and learn how to handle government affairs with Lieutenant Li!"
Emperor Xia's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
"Then Zongheng is the special envoy of the imperial court, responsible for monitoring everything in Qingzhou!"
"yes!"
In this way, Emperor Xia sent Patriarch Zongheng to monitor Li Jian and his son again!
Li Jian's heart sank!
The emperor still really doesn’t believe it!
At this time.
Emperor Xia asked: "Now, let's discuss the selection of the crown prince!"
"What do you think of the Yangzhou King Xia Storm?"
"Can he be the prince?"
at this time.
The head of the Taoist family, Li Si, held the dragon scale and arrived at the door of the royal study: "Your Majesty, something big has happened!"
