Chapter 287: Internal and External Troubles
I was still a little distracted and didn't react.
A civil official looked up at me and whispered to me, "Your Majesty, it's time to say flat." ”
I came back to my senses and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be polite, get up." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
They stood respectfully in front of me. To be honest, I'm not used to it.
The civil servants around me have already put me in the seat.
Since I became the Dragon King of the East China Sea, I was not polite, so I walked to the throne and sat down, I looked down at everyone from a high place, and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else to return to?" ”
They all kept their voices calm and didn't speak, but I also knew in my heart that they were somewhat dissatisfied with me, so I said, "Nothing to retreat." ”
And they bowed down to me, and went out.
The civil official followed me, talking about the rules of being a dragon king, what clothes to wear, and whether I should marry a princess.
He kept talking in my ear, and I was a little distraught when I listened.
So I asked him to leave. Now the situation in the East China Sea is definitely unstable, and almost no one supports me. If you want to sit in this position, I'm afraid, you still have to work hard.
I went back to my former mansion in the East China Sea.
I invited Li Chuntian out of the paperwork, and after he came out, I said to him: "Senior Li, the overall situation has been decided. ”
Li Chuntian didn't react at first, and asked, "...... you mean?"
I didn't wait for him to finish before I gave him an affirmative answer.
Li Chuntian suddenly became excited, and then knelt in front of me, and said, "The old minister has seen Your Majesty. ”
I hurriedly helped Li Chuntian up.
Li Chuntian looked like an old tearful, and his excited voice trembled a little. I said to Li Chuntian, "You don't have to kneel when you see me in the future. ”
Li Chuntian immediately said: "Then how can it be, you have just become the new king of the East China Sea now, if you have no rules, others will not listen to you." ”
I didn't say much, so I touched the river god seal.
I said to the river god seal, "Now that I am the new king of the East China Sea, come out." ”
Not long after my words fell, the river god seal came out, he probably didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and asked in a tone of disbelief: "Zhang Yan, you really became the new king of the East China Sea?" ”
I said that if it is fake, the promise I made to you at the beginning will be fulfilled now, and you will be canonized as the prime minister of the East China Sea. But I'm going to say ugly things ahead, if you abuse your power after becoming the prime minister of the Dragon Palace, I will also remove you.
The river god seal quickly knelt in front of me and said, "Your Majesty will live up to Your Majesty's instructions when you receive your orders." ”
I asked the river god to seal it, and when I went back to the Dragon Palace, I gave him a document of appointment.
The river god seal can also be regarded as clearing the clouds and mist to see the blue sky. Li Chuntian didn't say anything, I said to Li Chuntian: "Senior Li, why don't you be the prime minister of Zuo." ”
Li Chuntian immediately waved his hand and said, "I'm already a lot older, so I won't trouble you." Now that you are the new king of the East China Sea, my mission is complete. ”
I persuaded Li Chuntian a few words, but Li Chuntian insisted on refusing to take office, and I couldn't help it.
After a pause, Li Chuntian opened his mouth and asked me, "Zhang Yan, how is the situation in the East China Sea now?" ”
I told the truth about the situation in the East China Sea.
Li Chuntian said: "As expected, no one will support you, but they are also short-sighted, as everyone knows, you become the new king of the East China Sea, and the East China Sea has hope." ”
I looked at Li Chuntian suspiciously, but Li Chuntian didn't continue to talk about this matter.
"Lord Yu, who took the lead in resigning, he is a super old man, although he is stubborn and conservative, but the prosperity of the East China Sea for five hundred years is closely related to him, so go back, I will persuade him to come back."
I thought about it for a moment and said okay.
The river god Yin was calm and did not speak.
The current situation in the East China Sea is indeed not good, it can be said that it is an internal and external trouble, and the Dragon King of the North Sea has made a feud, and the meeting on the South China Sea side has also given up participation, which is the same as giving up the dominance of the East China Sea.
I thought about it for a while, and then said to the river god seal: "You first go and investigate the situation in the East China Sea, and then come up with some strategies. ”
The river god seal received the order and went out.
Li Chuntian and I were in the house, and Li Chuntian said to me, "Your Majesty, there is something I don't know whether to say or not. ”
Li Chuntian called me Your Majesty, I was really a little unaccustomed to it, I said: "You still call me Zhang Yan in the future, and you can say whatever you want." ”
Li Chuntian laughed a few times, and then said: "You just became the new king of the East China Sea, is it not good to let your own people be prime ministers?" ”
I said to Li Chuntian: "I have also considered it, as soon as I became the new king, they threatened me to resign, and if I did not appoint my own people, they would still think that I had to be them, and they might be even more inched." I have already thought about it, and I will go back and reward all the officials who have left me to support me, and I can't treat them badly. ”
Li Chuntian looked at it and said, "You must know how to make good use of others." ”
I said I would.
Li Chuntian told me this, naturally for my good.
Not long after, Li Chuntian said that he was going to find Master Yu, and I hummed and said okay. watched Li Chuntian leave.
When it was night, I went to look for the Dragon King, thinking that I could find it when I went to the palace, but when I arrived, I was told that he had moved out of the palace.
Someone led me to meet the dragon king, in an elegant courtyard, and when I arrived, the dragon king was drinking, and in front of me some graceful beauties were dancing.
When I arrived, they retreated.
For a moment, I was left with the Dragon King, and I owed him a debt.
The Dragon King said to me, Your Majesty doesn't have to be so polite in the future.
It may be that the characters haven't adapted yet, they have called me for so long, I really don't get used to it, so I said to the Dragon King, let's call me Zhang Yan in the future.
I asked the dragon king, "Come to me, what are your orders?"
The Dragon King said to me, "Your Majesty, there are a few things that the old dragon still wants to tell you about in the end. ”
I stepped forward a few steps closer to the Dragon King.
The dragon king's face was a little unsightly, and when I got closer, he sighed even more, and slowly said, "The old dragon has a reluctant request. ”
"Please."
"Please Your Majesty, when the time is right, return the position of the Dragon King to the East China Sea Dragon Clan."
"What is the right time?" I asked.
"When the time comes, you will know, Your Majesty, the East China Sea Dragon Palace still asks you to take care of it, and the descendants of the old dragon also ask you to take care of it."
I hummed and said I would.
"The old dragon's limit may be within two months, so please Your Majesty must promise the old dragon."
I didn't expect that the Dragon King of the East China Sea would not live for more than two months, and I felt a little sad in my heart.
"Dragon King, you saved my life, and I will definitely agree to what you say."
The dragon king sighed and said, "That's good." ”
"In addition, Lao Long's third child may make mistakes in the future, please spare his life."
I said okay.
After the dragon king said this, he said to me, "The old dragon has said everything he should say, so go and do your own work." ”
I hummed and walked out of here, inexplicably feeling a sigh of relief in my heart, which was not very pleasant.
I returned to the palace, and soon someone sent me a message saying, "The Dragon King of the South China Sea has been elected as the head of the four seas. He also publicly denied that I had become the new king of the East China Sea. ”
I said lightly that I knew, and let him step down.
It seems that it won't be long before the East China Sea Dragon Palace will have a bloody battle with the rest of the Dragon Palace. In this hall, at night, with an infinite chill, I sat on the dragon chair and looked at the palace.
Late at night, someone came to remind me, "Your Majesty, it's time to rest." ”
I said I understood, and got up and walked outside.
The whole palace was changed because the new king was established, and I went back to my bedroom, which was large and empty.
I looked at it, and then I walked out, and I said to the civil servants around me, "Go and find the prime minister." ”
The civil official took the order and walked out, and about half an hour, the river god seal came over.
The original name of the river god seal was He Yue.
He himself turned out to be the god of the Yellow River, so he also understood the rules of the East China Sea, and when he came to me, he bowed and said, "I don't know, what is the matter with Your Majesty looking for ministers?" ”
I said to He Yue: "Now the East China Sea is an eventful season, and I have a hunch that it will not be long before there may be a big disaster in the East China Sea. ”
He Yue and I have known each other for a long time, and I also know how much he has in his heart.
He said to me, "Your Majesty is referring to external worries? ”
