Jinhua Palace.

This is the place where the round table is held, and it is a symbol of the supreme power of the entire Yunyin Empire.

The so-called round table refers to a meeting presided over by the emperor and attended by all ministers. It is said that it is a meeting, but in fact, only the emperor and the heads of the three families have the right to decide, and the rest of the people only have the right to speak in form. Theoretically, the emperor had the final say, unless all three of them voted to reject the emperor's order. In other words, for the emperor to achieve control over the state, he had to have the support of at least one family. It is not that there has been no emperor who tried to destroy the other two families by co-opting one family, but the three families can be inherited for so many years, and they are naturally not fools, and they all understand the truth of the death of the lips and teeth, the rabbit and the death of the dog, so in fact, no family will unconditionally and fully support the emperor, they all know in their hearts that the balance between the three families and the imperial power is the key to the continuation of the three families to the present, and the three families check and balance each other and depend on each other, and the lack of any one will lead to the overthrow of the existing political system, and eventually cause the three families to disappear in the dust of history。

In the Jinhua Palace, many courtiers sat in three circles, and the innermost was a round table, and the emperor and the parents of the three families sat down one after another.

"Zhuqing, what do you think about the Yu Clan's request for peace this time?" the emperor was the first to speak.

"Joke, how many soldiers did Yun Yin die in battle in exchange for the advantageous situation on the battlefield today, they can ask for peace if they want to?" Geng Feng said angrily.

"Master Ling, since you already know that this war has caused us countless casualties, why do you risk the lives of our Yunyin warriors?" said a woman.

"Lin Changyun, aren't you just for your Lin family's business with the countries of the South China Sea? Why, your Lin family's business is more important than Yun Yin's national fortune?" Geng Feng glanced at her.

"I'm not for the Lin family's selfish interests. Lin Changyun's face did not change, "We have been fighting with the Yu clan for so many years, and we have not been able to distinguish the winner or loser, rather than letting the soldiers die in vain, it is better to make peace, and trade with the countries of the South China Sea will also increase a large amount of revenue for the treasury, why not? Besides, hasn't the other party already said that not only will they send a large amount of compensation, but also send the prince of the Yu clan to the capital as a proton? Isn't this sincerity enough?"

"Prince? It's just a name, if they die, they can set up another one, what sincerity is there?" Geng Feng said disdainfully, "And they even asked that prince of their to come to Cangling Academy?

"You ......" Lin Changyun froze.

"Okay, okay, don't argue about it. "The emperor played a round on the sidelines.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks what Master Lin said is reasonable. We have been fighting with the Yu clan for a long time, and we have been fighting for many years, and this is also a rare opportunity for us to recuperate. A minister from the Lin faction stood up.

Geng Feng snorted angrily and did not speak.

The emperor hesitated, he looked at Ye Tianji with an inquiring gaze, but Ye Tianji looked undeniable.

The ministers focused their eyes on the emperor. Now it is difficult for the three dukes to reach an agreement, which means that the emperor has the absolute right to speak.

After fighting for so long, the people must have been tired of it, and they agreed to it, which can be regarded as a decent end to the war. ”

"Your Majesty!" Geng Feng stood up suddenly.

"Aiqing doesn't need to say it, I have made up my mind. The Emperor waved his hand, "Dismiss!"

Geng Feng glared at Lin Changyun fiercely and walked away.

The courtiers also left the Jinhua Hall one after another. But one man broke away from the crowd and walked towards a side hall.

The man pushed open the door of the side hall, and a man in black had been waiting there for a long time.

The man in black took out a jade tiger talisman and placed it on the table.

"I wonder if the lord needs to go down and do anything?" said the minister, after confirming it, with his fists clenched.

"The lord said, the Lujiacun case some time ago will be investigated to the end, you go and inform the people we have placed in the Shen Penal Division, find out who killed the wizard, and find out this matter no matter what. The man in black said, "By the way, tell me about today's round table, so that you don't have to write again." ”

"Yes. The minister replied respectfully, "Today, the emperor has agreed to the Yu clan's request for peace, and it is expected that the prince of the Yu clan will participate in the entrance examination of Cangling Academy in the near future." There is nothing else to do. ”

"Got it. The man in black said, "You can go." ”

The minister hesitated, but did not leave.

"Is there anything else?" asked the man in black, confused.

“…… If the people below don't even know who their boss is, in the long run, they are afraid that people's hearts will change. The minister said in a rambling voice.

"The lord naturally has a reason not to show up, do your own thing. The man in black's tone was a little stiff.

“…… Be. ”

Capital Station.

A man sat quietly on the bed with his eyes closed.

The door opened suddenly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Emperor Yunyin has agreed to our request for peace, please prepare for the prince quickly, it will be the entrance examination of Cangling Academy soon. This assessment has attracted a lot of attention, if the prince can come out on top in this exam, he will definitely be able to boost the majesty of our clan, and it can also deter those who have ghosts in their hearts, killing two birds with one stone. A middle-aged man walked in.

"I naturally know this, I don't need you to remind me. The young man opened his eyes, "Do you have a clue for the thing I asked you to find?"

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you sure that the source is reliable?" the middle-aged man grimaced, "It seems that no one has heard of that thing you said at all, where can you find it?"

"The information is absolutely accurate, you don't have to doubt it. The prince of the Yu clan stood up, "But I also expected that this thing would not be so easy to find, after all, it is related to the entire political system of Yunyin, and it is impossible for people to find it so easily." ”

"Your Highness, what should we do then?"

"There's no hurry, what we have is time. The eyes of the prince of the Yu clan flashed, "But before that, I would like to meet the so-called human race for a while, and see how much real ability this prodigy who killed a venerable person of my clan has?"
