Chapter 82 - Hard to Choose
Now there are no other major matters in the Imperial Court, and the only key thing related to the early dynasty is whether or not to continue to cooperate with the Dark Legion.
Therefore, the early dynasty of these two days has dispersed very early, but the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, as the leader and decision-maker. But he has been on the throne to check the notes submitted by these officials, hoping to find something helpful from them.
After reading the scene for a long time, Zheng Junchao finally finished reading this thick stack of twists and turns. Among them, there is a book, written in great detail, about the analysis of this matter, from the interests of the feudal state, the interests of his holy emperor Zheng Junchao, and the interests of the courtiers, Zheng Junchao thought that there was merit in this, so he put it in the sleeve of his dragon robe.
Now that he has decided to go back and talk to his wife about this matter, Zheng Junchao feels that the solution proposed in this book is still meritorious. What's more, now Zheng Junchao needs his wife to come forward to ease the tense relationship with his daughter.
The reason for this idea is mainly because of the news transmitted by the secret agents who stayed in the north of the feudal country. Although due to the lack of military strength, Zheng Junchao has no idea of counterattacking the north for the time being, but this does not mean that the intelligence network will not involve the north, the Holy Emperor is still in the north of the feudal country, and now a large number of elite spies are arranged in the area temporarily controlled by the forces of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden.
These spies will regularly relay the latest situation in the north back to Zhongcheng, including the 50,000 allied troops stationed in Yicheng some time ago, because winter is approaching and the follow-up food reserves are insufficient, and they have begun to evacuate Yicheng in batches.
This news is a good thing for the now weakened feudal state, Yicheng is surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are 50,000 coalition troops stationed there, if you want to recapture Yicheng, you need at least 100,000 troops.
However, the defeat of the Xuanling Continent, the independence of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden, and the defeat of Ruocheng, the army of the feudal country has been sharply reduced, and it no longer has the momentum of the past. The Holy Emperor was also unable to mobilize so many troops to attack Yicheng.
Yicheng was not far from Zhongcheng, and the road to the east was all plains, so the march was not hindered by many terrain. There are 50,000 troops stationed in Yicheng, like a sharp blade hanging over the head of the feudal state, always threatening the main subordinates of the feudal state, and the feudal army does not dare to leave Zhongcheng easily.
The latest news from the north came from the north, and the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao also found the internal power of the white-clothed celestial girl through the information of these elite spies, and it was quietly changing. Originally, the leader of this white-clothed celestial girl force was the eldest daughter of Guangwu Jun, Princess Qingxuan Buluan. Bu Luan and him have an irreconcilable hatred, and Zheng Junchao doesn't expect her to understand what he did.
However, the news that has been passed on recently has made the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao see some good hope, according to the news passed by the secret agent, Princess Qingxuan Bu Luan seems to have gradually transferred the power of the white-clothed celestial girl power to Princess Liuli Bu Yuehan, and she has taken a back seat, and the secret agent can't understand what Bu Luan is doing now.
As the army of the white-clothed Celestial Maiden gradually withdrew and returned to Shengcheng, Princess Liuli Bu Yuehan officially took over most of the armies of the white-clothed Celestial Maiden forces who remained in it. The specific reason, these secret agents could not find out clearly, they could only report the general situation to the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao.
Although these news are a bit catchy, Zheng Junchao also saw some key opportunities from this, and the contradictions between himself and his daughter are not so easy to reconcile. But his wife, Princess Rongle, is still secretly in touch with her daughter.
Zheng Junchao had actually received a secret report from Yue Ji not long ago, and he knew that his daughter Bu Yuehan had secretly sent an envoy to Zhongcheng to meet her mother secretly, and they must have a very close connection with each other. Especially now, in the process that this white-clothed celestial girl may face a transfer of power, it is actually very normal for a daughter to come to her mother for help.
Thinking of this, Saint Emperor Zheng Junchao suddenly felt a little stunned, it seemed that he hadn't seen the Divine Beast Bathing Fire Phoenix who had signed a contract with him for a while.
Zheng Junchao can guess that because his wife has a good relationship with the Fire Phoenix, when he was in Dream City, the relationship between Bu Lian and the Fire Phoenix was even better than the relationship between the Holy Emperor and the Phoenix. It is very likely that the Phoenix went to help his wife do things.
Thinking of this, Zheng Junchao felt a little angry with his wife for the first time in his heart, and if he could have made it clear to his face, he had to do these things behind his back. He knew very well that whether it was Su Hui in the court or some of the courtiers who supported her, the dominant person behind them must be his wife, Princess Rongle Bu Lian.
Performing light skills, Zheng Junchao did not enter through the gate of the palace, but jumped on the palace wall and jumped forward. These things are naturally no pressure on Zheng Junchao, a person of the ninth order of the soul master.
It just so happened that from the position where he had climbed the palace wall now, only a few steps forward, was Bu Lian's dormitory. As far as the eye can see, the candle flame is still shining faintly, shining on the palace wall, reflecting a crimson shimmer.
Although he was a little angry in his heart, he didn't want to put his emotions on his wife like this. After all, the two have been married for more than ten years, and their relationship has always been very deep, and he believes that his wife has a hard time, so he concealed that he had done these things.
Thinking of this, Zheng Junchao walked in from the main gate of the dormitory, and the maids guarding the gate of the palace suddenly saw the figure of His Majesty, who had not appeared recently, and they hurriedly bowed down to salute. "I've seen Your Majesty......"
Zheng Junchao nodded slightly, he walked straight into his wife's palace, and he was already familiar with the road, and he quietly walked towards the library pavilion.
There are not many maids serving in the palace, and most of them are her personal maids all along. The guards patrolled the perimeter of the palace, and they were unable to enter the dormitory and the surrounding side halls.
Originally, the relationship between the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao and his wife Bu Lian has always been very strong, not only in the feudal court, but also in the country, and even in the Qi Kingdom. Of course, it is only out of yearning and praise for this feeling.
It's just that after the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao snatched half of the key to the Eternal Lock from Qi and forcibly released the Dark Army on the Sinking Leaf Demon Spirit Continent, the originally unbreakable husband and wife relationship between the two of them had a disagreement because of this.
Zheng Junchao's original intention was to let the Dark Legion help him conquer the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent, destroy the already powerful Qi State at that time, and help him unify this continent. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to bow down to the dark evil gods.
At first, the people in the feudal country were not aware of the ambitions of the Dark Legion, they thought that the Dark Legion was just a tool they could use, so they did not take this "alliance" to heart, after all, the Qi State has always been their old enemy, there is no doubt about it.
In the battle of Xuancheng, the dark army defeated the Qi country, and the king of the Qi country, Xuan Lejun Mingyi, killed it with his own hands, and more than 70,000 elite soldiers of the Qi country were all killed by the dark army, and they even destroyed Xuancheng, destroying this hundreds of years of building into almost ruins.
The news of the Dark Legion's victory over the Qi State reached the feudal country, and most of the citizens did not realize the true intentions of the Dark Legion, and the news that the Qi State had been severely damaged was enough for them to rejoice, and they also ignored the Dark Legion's intentions.
Zheng Junchao also thought that they still had value for the Dark Legion now, and the Dark Legion would not take the initiative to pose any threat to them. Out of this consideration, Zheng Junchao even took the initiative to lead 50,000 elites of the Sealed War Society to assist the Dark Legion in attacking the last town of the Qi State at that time.
It wasn't until later that the Dark Legion knew that Qi was likely to counterattack Huicheng, and deliberately let Zheng Junchao leave the army to garrison Huicheng and Ruocheng, so that the troops left behind in the Feng Zhan would be scattered, and finally ambushed by Sun Hao and Luo Yinying.
This battle completely shook the foundation of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao in the feudal country, and he himself had irreconcilable contradictions with the royal family, all relying on his wife Bu Lian to reconcile them, and the royal family had barely made a more outrageous move.
However, with the loss of the main force of the Sealing War Society, the royal families who were already ready to move in various places naturally began to secretly contact. The actions of the Dark Legion also made some officials in China who originally supported Zheng Junchao begin to be neutral, and they were faintly aware of the ambitions of the Dark Legion and found that their actions were not so simple.
Among them, including the wife of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, the princess of Fengguo Rongle, Bu Lian, she was keenly aware of the Dark Army's intentions, and it didn't seem to be as simple as they imagined.
She repeatedly persuaded her husband to sever ties with the Dark Legion as soon as possible, otherwise they would inevitably be attacked by other forces. And the dark legion will definitely not come to the rescue, they will definitely take this opportunity to expand.
Zheng Junchao hesitated, he still had some illusions about the Dark Legion, he knew very well that only by relying on the Dark Legion now could he have the opportunity to unify the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent and realize his long-cherished wish.
Dissatisfied with her husband's hesitation, she also came up with another idea, she simply secretly contacted the members of the royal family, as well as her own daughter, and secretly planned other plans.
Of course, this is only a possible choice in the future, and Bu Lian still hopes to be able to persuade her husband to make the right decision in time.
In the past few days, Zheng Junchao did not come to his wife's bedroom, and he snubbed his wife for a few days, Zheng Junchao also felt a little embarrassed, and this evening, he came to his wife's bedroom prettyly.
Bu Lian has been in the library cabinet, looking for the effective information she was looking for from the various information she had gathered. Zheng Junchao didn't dodge either, and walked directly into the library pavilion.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Bu Lian looked up slightly, but saw her husband's figure, and she asked a little strangely.
Zheng Junchao looked embarrassed, quietly stepped forward and grabbed his wife's hand, and said with a smile: "What, can't I come to see you?"
Bu Lian didn't back down, "How did Your Majesty think about the previous matter?"
