The Royal Ancestral Temple is inhabited by the ancestors of the Royal Ji family.
Every emperor who abdicates will live in the royal ancestral temple before his longevity is exhausted.
Moreover, the Royal Ancestral Temple also has a great relationship with Ji Luochen.
The reason why he was able to become the crown prince and defeat Ji Wujiang to become the crown prince was also due to the contribution of the royal family's ancestral temple.
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Ji Luochen narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Royal Grandmother, do you really want to protect this Ji Yuanqi and alarm the ancestors in the ancestral temple?"
Hearing Ji Luochen's words, the Empress Dowager thought Ji Luochen was afraid.
Ji Yuanqi, who was kneeling there, also had an imperceptible smile on his face.
He knew that his mother would not leave her alone. Although he had made an unforgivable mistake, he did not believe that Ji Luochen could kill him.
The Empress Dowager said calmly: "Chen'er, the Imperial Grandmother does not necessarily want to interfere with your decision. It's just that your father passed away and the Imperial Grandmother only had one son, Yuan Qi. If Yuan Qi dies again, let your Emperor do it." How can grandma survive?"
"As long as you are willing to let Yuan Qi go, the Imperial Grandmother promises you to take him back to the Buddhist hall and never let him come out again. Let him accompany me through this life. I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor agrees with my opinion?"
Although all the civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads, they kept glancing at Ji Luochen from the corners of their eyes.
They wanted to see what kind of decision the new emperor would make when faced with this situation.
As an emperor, if you can't make a fool of yourself and allow others to make decisions, then the emperor's prestige will be gone.
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, Ji Luochen couldn't help but sneer: "Royal Grandma, the state has national laws, and the family has family rules. As the Lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if I can't treat everyone equally, then I will make the world laugh at me. .”
"What King Qi committed this time was a serious crime of treason. If I don't kill him, how can I convince the people?"
"Please ask Imperial Grandmother to take back your life. I cannot agree to your request."
Hearing Ji Luochen's words, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but change her expression, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you really not want to spare King Qi?"
Ji Luochen nodded: "The crime of treason is serious. I must not set this precedent. If King Qi does not die, won't others think that I am a soft-hearted person?"
"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then I can only ask the ancestors of the royal family's ancestral temple to come out and tell you."
Ji Luochen sneered: "Grandma Huang, please."
Seeing that Ji Luochen was not threatened at all, the Empress Dowager could only turn around and leave.
After the Empress Dowager left, Ji Luochen looked at Ji Yuanqi who was kneeling there and gloating about his misfortune, and said calmly: "Don't think that you can escape by carrying out the Empress Dowager. The person I want to kill is the one in the world. No one can escape anymore."
"Come here, push Ji Yuanqi out of the Meridian Gate and behead him in public."
"Cao Zhengchun."
"The old slave is here."
Upon hearing Ji Luochen's call, Cao Zhengchun stood up and said.
Ji Luochen said slowly: "Anyone who dares to block the execution at the execution site will be killed without mercy. Do you understand me clearly?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Cao Zhengchun received Ji Luochen's order, a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Immediately, thousands of Dongchang fans sealed the Meridian Gate airtight, and the black-clad arrow team was even more ready to attack. As long as there was the slightest sign of trouble, they would launch an attack.
Ji Yuanqi screamed loudly while being dragged.
"You dare to kill me, if you kill me, my mother will not let you go."
"You bunch of dog slaves, please let me go quickly. Do you believe that I will make your heads fall to the ground?"
When it was time to die, Ji Yuanqi was also scared.
He thought he would be able to survive if the Empress Dowager came forward, but he never expected that Ji Luochen would not give the Empress Dowager any face, not even the ancestral temple of the royal family.
You know, the power of the royal ancestral temple is very powerful, and it even has the ability to replace the emperor.
Now that Ji Luochen is in direct conflict with the royal family's ancestral temple, all the ministers are worried about Ji Luochen.
Just after finishing Ji Yuanqi's matter, an urgent memorial was suddenly sent in from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty is in trouble. Two hundred thousand troops from the Western Region invaded our border and Huangsha City was captured. Please make your decision."
Ji Luochen, who had just returned to the dragon chair, couldn't help but look cold when he heard the urgent memorial.
After reading the memorial, he couldn't help but said calmly: "My dear friends, now that the Western Region has brought an army of 200,000 to invade our border, I wonder what you, my dear friends, should do?"
"Your Majesty, I suspect that the 200,000-strong army in the Western Region is just a front-line army. The follow-up army may arrive soon. Your Majesty should be on guard early."
Zhang Liang, the Minister of War, came out and said.
Ji Luochen nodded slightly: "What Zhang Aiqing said is right. It coincides with my thoughts. I also suspect that the 200,000 troops in the Western Region are just the front army. I am afraid there will be big moves in the future."
At this time, the Minister of War stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that your Majesty should immediately send reinforcements to support the western border. Now that Huangsha City has been broken, if the army of the Western Regions is allowed to continue to penetrate deeper, I am afraid that it will soon come to the hinterland of our Central Plains. When the time comes, everything will be smooth sailing, and there will really be no danger.”
Ji Luochen said calmly: "Okay, then according to the proposal of the Minister of War, we will immediately send troops to support the front line."
"Bai Qi obeys the order."
Bai Qi, who was regarded as a general by Ji Luochen, couldn't help but step out and bowed.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
Ji Luochen said solemnly: "I will give you 100,000 Northern Liang infantry, 10,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry, and 100,000 Golden Fire Cavalry. Immediately rush to the western border to support General Han and the Wushen Army. In this battle, I only allow you Win, don’t lose, if you lose you know what to do.”
Bai Qi heard Ji Luochen's words and issued a military order on the spot.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. If you can't defeat the Western Region, I will come to see you."
After issuing the military order, Bai Qi turned around and left without hesitation.
"Ding, I received the mission to protect our home and country."
"Mission 1: Defeat the enemy and reward the military god Li Jing and 50,000 Guan Ning cavalry."
"Mission 2: Counterattack the Western Region and capture ten cities in the Western Region. Reward: Blood-clothed Marquis, hundreds of thousands of armor-piercing soldiers."
"Mission 3: The battle of annihilation. Destroy more than three countries in the Western Region. Mission reward: Randomly reward two powerful land gods."
Seeing the task prompted by the system, Ji Luochen couldn't help but get excited.
His current military strength is sufficient, but he still has some shortcomings in terms of being a martial arts master.
After he pacifies the surrounding countries, he will face the martial arts forces.
The martial arts forces in the martial arts world must not be underestimated. Although the country will change, each of those ancient forces that have been passed down for thousands of years in the martial arts world are very terrifying.
The imperial court has never dared to move those martial arts forces, because it was afraid that they would not be able to successfully encircle and kill him at once, allowing the strong men within the forces to escape, so that they would continue to assassinate the emperor.
This is also what the imperial court is most afraid of.
If the strong martial arts masters are offended, they must be eradicated. If they cannot be killed, they will hide in secret and continue to assassinate the emperor and various ministers. I am afraid that the operation of the court will be paralyzed.
What Ji Luochen wants is a strong person who can not give those powerful martial arts people a chance to escape.
