Liu Qian raised his head curiously, wanting to see what the emperor of Yin Shang looked like, and saw a small platform on top of the golden steps, and a middle-aged man was standing on the dragon chair.

That is, the current emperor of the Yin Shang Empire, Yin Zong.

His appearance is quite elegant, not like a majestic emperor, but like a teacher in a private school, his face is white and beardless, a dragon robe fits very well on his body, his eyes look at the civil and military officials below gently, there is a feeling of more than kindness, and lack of majesty, Liu Qian also knows that it is a very rude thing to keep staring at others, and it is even more so to look directly at the king of a country, so he just glanced at it and lowered his head.

Everyone else had similar movements as Liu Qian, and they all lowered their heads to show humility, but Liu Qian suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, he subconsciously looked up, and found that the emperor was looking at him, and saw Liu Qian raise his head and look at him, and smiled slightly, and the smile was quite meaningful.

Liu Qian saw the light in his eyes flashing, Liu Qian's heart became vigilant, people can't look good, this emperor seems to be a good person, but to be able to be the king of a country, how can he be a benevolent person, if he is a benevolent person, I am afraid that he would have been pulled down a long time ago and become a dry bone.

Slowly, the inside of the Xuanzheng Hall was already stained, and all sides were full of officials, standing according to their respective ranks.

The first place on the left is the old man who just walked up to the first place, the old man shook his head, looking like he was about to fall asleep, Yin Zong saw the old man's appearance, and joked: "It seems that the prime minister didn't sleep well yesterday?"

Although the old man in the audience closed his eyes, his ears were very bright, and when he heard this, he opened his eyes, and directly yawned, and said: "No way, Your Majesty, that's how it is when people are old, obviously they can't sleep, but they just want to sleep, just waiting for the day when they can't wake up." ”

Yin Zong shook his head and said to the eunuch next to him, "Go and get a chair for the prime minister." ”

The eunuch hurriedly bowed down, answered, and then hurried down, and when he came up again, he and another eunuch carried a eunuch's chair to the prime minister's side and placed it behind him.

The prime minister smiled, arched his hand to the emperor on the stage, and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your compassion, the old minister is grateful." ”

After speaking, he was not polite at all, sat directly on the chair, squinted his eyes again, and seemed to fall asleep here.

Yin Zong didn't seem to be surprised, and didn't pay attention to it anymore.

And the column on the right, but the middle-aged man who just walked in the second place, Liu Qian sensed it a little, and found that this person is also a powerhouse of the extraordinary supreme level, different from the old prime minister, this person has a straight back, his head is held high, and he is very energetic.

Yin Litian said to Liu Qian in the way of voice transmission: "The old prime minister who stood first is called Situ Jiaqing, and he has also been the prime minister since the beginning of the saint's accession to the throne, and in the past thirty years, no matter how other officials change, he has always been as stable as Mount Tai, so he has a nickname in the empire, called Prime Minister Taishan." ”

Yin Litian knew that Liu Qian was not very clear about some things within the empire, so he opened his mouth to explain to Liu Qian, the Situ family is also a very powerful family within the Yin Shang Empire, there are four valves in the hidden world, the title of the tenth family, this Situ family is one of the four valves, otherwise no matter how Situ Jiaqing gets the Sacred Heart, it is impossible to sit on the prime minister's seat for thirty years.

Liu Qian looked at the old man at the front with great interest, thinking that this old man did not look like he would fall asleep at any time, and when his eyes really opened, his eyes must be very sharp.

"The old man is more than 200 years old this year, and his life span is coming to an end, so he always looks drowsy in front of people. Yin Litian explained again, why this old man is always like this.

Liu Qian nodded, Situ Jiaqing's realm is the realm of the king of people, and the realm of the king of men is almost three hundred years old, and Liu Qian feels that his breath is a little floating, this realm of the king of people seems to have a little moisture.

said that he would not live long, and there was no problem, Liu Qian could already see that a dead air appeared on Situ Jiaqing's body.

Liu Qian looked at the middle-aged man again and asked, "Your Highness, what is the name of the man standing first in the right row, and what is his origin?" ”

Yin Litian didn't see it, he naturally knew who Liu Qian was talking about.

He said: "This person is the imperial lieutenant, and he is also the first person in the martial arts, from the Li family, one of the four major lords, called Li Xin. ”

is another person with four major gates, Liu Qian secretly recorded in his heart that he and Yin Litian were standing beside Situ Jiaqing, did it mean that they had a closer connection with Situ Jiaqing, and when they found an opportunity, they would ask Yin Litian about these things in detail.

At this time, all the officials were already in place.

A eunuch stood beside Yin Zong and said in a long voice: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

followed by the people in the Xuanzheng Hall slowly kneeling, except for Situ Jiaqing, who was lying on the chair, all the rest, without exception, all knelt on the ground, but Yin Shang's kneeling salute was not a kneeling salute, only one knee was required to bow down, if it was to kneel on both knees, Liu Qian would never come.

After the eunuch finished speaking, the two eunuchs standing outside the Xuanzheng Hall also raised their voices and sang: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Then Liu Qian heard a mountain of voices coming from outside the Xuanzheng Palace.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

The sound was deafening, there were not 10,000 people kneeling outside, there should be 8,000, as the saying goes, 10,000 people are full, and 10,000 people shouted a sentence at the same time, the momentum is indeed extraordinary, at least some ministers in the hall who have not cultivated are shaking their bodies slightly.

After the courtiers outside the Xuanzheng Hall shouted, Li Xin was the first to take the lead and said loudly: "Congratulations to my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”

The rest of the people sang in unison after Li Xin, only Situ Jiaqing was still with his eyes closed, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.

After shouting, the eunuch beside Yin Zong looked at Yin Zong, and then said, "Zhongqing is flat." ”

The ministers in the Xuanzheng Hall stood up first, and then the words of the ministers were spread outside.

Yin Zong finally spoke at this time, but the first person he asked was Li Xin, who was standing in the first place of the military attaché, Yin Zong asked: "Taiwei Li, what is the situation in the 100,000 demon beasts in the mountains earlier. ”

Liu Qian knew that the empires on this continent were not so peaceful, although there were not too many wars between empires and empires, but almost every empire was threatened by the outside, and these empires in the north were attacked by the demon beasts in the 100,000 mountains almost every year because of the 100,000 mountains.

These demon beasts are not only huge in number, but also because of the unified leadership of the demon king, even like humans, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, obey orders, and are very difficult, in fact, most of the current strength of the empire is entangled with demon beasts here in the 100,000 mountains, and the war of the empire is basically a war between the 100,000 mountains.

Some people say that they were originally the aborigines of southern Xinjiang, but they were driven away later, but the Baiyue people have not given up their intention to return to southern Xinjiang over the years, and they have been harassing the border of southern Xinjiang almost all the time.

The biggest threat to the Western Regions comes from the Great Desert, the Great Desert is mysterious and unpredictable, and it is said that the Great Desert was also a prosperous land in many, many years ago, but later I don't know why, it became a Great Desert, and there are many strange things in the Great Desert, and the same as the 100,000 Mountains and Baiyue Clan, the monsters in the Great Desert often appear to attack people in the Western Regions.

It is only better to count the people of the Eastern Wilderness, and the coastal land of the Eastern Wilderness has been very rich since ancient times, but it is strange to say that no matter what happens in the country of the Eastern Wilderness, it is not strong.

Li Xin took a step forward and said loudly: "The day before yesterday, a wolf king was led by a wolf king in the 100,000 mountains, leading 10,000 red flame wolves and beheading 5,820 of them. ”

A hundred heads came out and killed more than half of them, which is a very good record, but Li Xin only reported the results of the battle, and did not say the losses on his side, so he should also have the mentality of reporting good news and not bad news.

Yin Zong only nodded faintly when he heard this number, and then asked, "How about Zuo Dongwei's casualties." ”

Li Xin's face became a little more serious, and he said: "Zuo Dongwei killed 12,500 people in the battle, 3,000 people were lightly injured, and 1,000 people were seriously injured, of which 500 people have been disabled and have no strength to fight again, so they can only blame the retirement and go home." ”

Yin Zong's face became a little gloomy, and he said, "The wolf clan seems to be a little wrong for a while, rushing out desperately, is there something going on inside the demon clan?"

Li Xin shook his head and said: "We have always known very little about the information of the demon clan, because once a person walks into the 100,000 mountains, it is like a beacon, and it is difficult for our best scouts to penetrate it, but this time the wolf king was hit hard by us, even if he still wants to do something, it is not so easy." ”

"You must take a good look at the bereavement of the dead soldiers, I don't want them to shed their blood because of me, their families will have to shed tears because of the bereavement, this matter must not be tolerated. ”

Yin Zong's tone was serious, and the officials on the military side all showed a moved expression.
