Although Zhang Chai is sure that the empire is slowly on the right track, but today's little emperor is unpopular, the people do not trust the royal relatives and nobles at the top at all, and if they want to make the empire stable for a long time, only an elderly minister of Earnest and a little emperor who has no assertiveness and governing ability will definitely not work, and the appearance of Crimson and her special identity background and her talent make Zhang Chai more than excited.

He began to make a bold plan in his heart, if he found an opportunity to replace the little emperor and let Crimson rightfully ascend to the throne, and then assist, he should be able to restore the people's trust in the imperial power, and then the empire could truly stabilize.

The more Zhang Chai thought about it, the more excited he became, he closed the file in his hand, and prepared to return to the front line to place the important figure Crimson.

As soon as he left the palace, an imperial soldier blocked Zhang Chai's way, bowed down and said, "General ZZ, the minister asks you to come over and discuss important matters." ”

Discuss something important?

Zhang Chai's eyes deepened, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that someone had reported to Minister Ernest that he had discovered the existence of Crimson? He immediately set off for the Chancellery, to see what Chancellor Earnest was looking for him.

Not long after, Zhang Chai stepped into the minister's mansion, and at a glance he saw Minister Earnest in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and his old face was gloomy.

"Minister, you have something to do with me?" Zhang Chai walked over slowly.

Minister Ernest smiled kindly at Zhang Chai: "Well, ZZ, I heard that you fought a beautiful victory on the front line, and I will ask Your Majesty to reward you a little more later." ”

Zhang Chai said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if the reward is rewarded, as long as the empire can be peaceful." ”

"Well said!" Minister Earnest clapped his palms and said gloomily, "I'll look for you." It's for the sake of the peace of the empire! ”

Zhang Chai asked quietly: "Say, what is the matter?" ”

"It's the former minister!" Chancellor Earnest narrowed his old eyes. His tone was full of evil: "I just received news that the former minister Bartrogo, who had lived in seclusion in the north for many years, was preparing to leave the mountain. I intend to return to the imperial capital and compete with me for power! Unforgivable! ”

"Former minister?" When Zhang Chai heard it, it turned out that it wasn't about crimson, so he put his mind at ease and shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what?" It's just a former minister who has lost power, you don't need to be so nervous, right? ”

Earnest shook his head and snorted coldly: "Bartrogo is different, he is not only an imperial patriarch with a lot of prestige in the court, but also has a deep friendship with the generals on the side of the imperial navy, if he comes back." My position is in danger, and the empire is not at peace! You don't want to see that happen. ”

Zhang Chai's heart moved, and he said lightly: "That's it, then what are you going to do with me?" ”

Minister Earnest made a neck wipe and said viciously: "Intercept halfway!" He must not be allowed to return to the imperial capital unharmed! ”

When he was looking through the archives in the underground intelligence database before, Zhang Chai learned about the deeds of the former minister Bartrogo.

At the beginning, Minister Earnest supported the little emperor to ascend the throne and took the opportunity to seize power, but as a former minister, Bartrogo was naturally suppressed very badly, and Bartrogo chose to resign and live in seclusion in frustration. And the group of talented people who followed Bartrogo were unwilling to give in, and they also followed Bartrogo out of the imperial officialdom, which was one of the important factors that led to the decline of the empire.

Although Bartrogo was extremely politically skilled, he once kept the empire in good order. He was a very wise minister, but as Minister Ornest said, once Bartrogo returned to court. The imperial regime is bound to be in turmoil! After all, times are different now, and it is the time of Minister Earnest. Most of the people below only listened to Chancellor Ornest.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Chai nodded slightly and said, "I understand." I'll help you deal with Bartrogo. ”

Minister Earnest took out a piece of fresh meat, chewed it a few times, and smiled with satisfaction: "Hahahaha!" ZZ, you deserve to be the most loyal right-hand man by my side! Rest assured, as long as you help me, I can bring peace and stability to the Empire! ”

"Really?" Zhang Chai curled the corners of his mouth, sneering in his heart.

……

In the evening.

The north of the empire, wind and snow.

Outside a defeated village, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove on the official road, and a dozen heavily armed guards followed closely around the carriage, always alerting to the movements around it.

"The village is still so dilapidated!" An old voice came from inside the carriage, and through the curtain of the carriage, an old man with snowy temples and frosty beard sitting inside was holding a cane and sighed: "Obviously, there are people and there is a country." ”

"It's heartbreaking ......for the people like this," a blonde girl in winter clothes sitting next to the old man blinked her watery eyes and answered with a smile: "It's really remarkable to return to my father in the imperial capital, known as the Viper's Nest. ”

The old man glanced at the blonde girl, and said expressionlessly: "Now is not the time to save your life and live in seclusion, the old man will fight with the minister to the end!" ”

The blonde girl clenched the long-handled knife in her hand and said confidently: "I will protect my father well!" ”

The old man said helplessly: "I really raised a good daughter, I can't marry if I'm too brave." ”

The blonde girl's face turned red and she defended in a panic: "That, that has nothing to do with this matter!" ”

The old man laughed a few times and chatted with the blonde girl a few more times.

However, it didn't take long for the carriage to come to a sudden stop, and their bodies shook unsteadily.

"What's wrong?" The old man's eyes widened.

The blonde girl's heart tightened, she lifted the curtain in front of the carriage, and looked over, only to see that on the snow not far away, a silver figure stood with a sword, blocking the way of the carriage.

The old man frowned and exclaimed, "Is it a thief again?" No matter how bad the law and order is, there must be a limit! ”

The blonde girl pushed open the gate of the carriage, rushed down quickly, and solemnly ordered the guards on both sides of the carriage: "The other party is only one person, surround him first, don't be careless!" Above! ”

"Wow!" The guards drew their weapons and rushed forward.

Swish!

The silver figure swept past everyone in the blink of an eye at an extremely fast speed, and burst out with a powerful wave of qi, directly shocking all the guards away, leaving only the blonde girl standing in place alone, she trembled and held the long-handled knife, so shocked that she didn't even dare to move.

"Too strong, too strong...... blonde girl felt the terrifying aura emanating from the silver figure, her eyes widened with difficulty, and she felt endless fear and despair in her heart.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you." The silver figure turned around and stared at the blonde girl in a daze. (To be continued......)
