Chapter Eighty-Three: The Council of the Inner Court

Just when Ding Qiang and Bond and a group of mercenaries were in full swing to barbecue the rabbit feast, in the imperial palace - the council hall, a group of prominent figures of the empire gathered, and now His Majesty Xinnuo, Marquis Jianchang, Marquis Wudu, Bai Qihan The three heads of the family (Imperial Finance Minister) are discussing military affairs!

According to the spies' urgent report, there was a spectacular scene of large-scale martial saints breaking gods in Kuncheng that had not been encountered in a hundred years, and the two elders of Ma Yang, who were originally in Kuncheng, were all saints and gods, and were summoned by the holy city to leave. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are three reasons for this meeting:

First, except for the two of them, these Martial Saint peak powerhouses were all from the Ma Yang family. Second, these people have always been unknown, and it is rumored that they are all martial saint powerhouses, not peak powerhouses, but now the news is coming, and they are all peak powerhouses, confirming that the news obtained by the royal family is all wrong information. Third, Ma Yang claimed that there were only four people, but in fact there were three more people, not to mention where these three people came from, Ma Yang Xue hid their intentions, just this sudden display of strength, made Xin Nuo, who sat on the throne of the empire, tremble, and the Marquis of Wudu, who was in charge of this matter, was sitting on pins and needles.

The Marquis of Jianchang is a little better, he is mainly responsible for the foreign wars of the empire, while the Marquis of Wudu is not, the whole country is under his jurisdiction for large and small rebellions and public order incidents, and the occurrence of such an incident under his rule, even if he does not know in advance, is a major work omission. After this incident, it was confirmed that the information he had provided to His Majesty before was wrong, not only wrong but also ridiculously wrong, Martial Saint and Martial Saint Peak are two concepts, and four and seven cannot be equated.

This greatly reduced His Majesty's trust in him, although when he faced the saint alone later, he explained the cause and effect in detail, and was ready to apologize in front of His Majesty, Xinnuo saw that this person was loyal, so he kept him, did not strip him of his position, and put him in charge of the empire's rebellion and law and order work.

Although there are some doubts about his ability, there is no doubt about the use of people, and this is the principle of Sinnoh's administration. He has never broken his promise, this is also the place where the empire is more convinced, the emperor has principles, adheres to the law, and works up and down, although the empire is in decline, but it is still running in an orderly manner, which is also inseparable from Xinnuo's credit.

It's good now, how can others sleep soundly on the side of the royal couch, and the hidden strength of the Ma Yang family itself harbors evil intentions. The Inner Court meeting is held today under the guise of balancing the interests of the empire, considering the impact on the empire after the destruction of the sainthood by these high-end forces, and trying to minimize the losses.

In fact, more importantly, Sinnoh needs the nouveau riche of the empire to take a stand and emphasize the need to obey the royal leadership. It was a meeting where imperial power was concentrated.

At the time of the meeting, Sinno sat down at the head and said nothing. The eunuch behind him seemed to be asleep, and it seemed that he didn't have any breath like him, and it was easy for people to forget their existence.

The Marquis of Jianchang glanced at the eunuch before speaking, took out the pre-prepared agenda book, opened the title page, found the number of pages on which he recorded things, and found it, and after the Marquis of Wudu reported the incident, the news of seeking His Majesty's consent in advance was then announced at the meeting.

"According to investigation, after the Kuncheng incident, there were commotions in the surrounding countries, and even there was an emergency situation of deploying troops on the border of the Gree Empire, but with the development of the incident, it basically stabilized. According to reliable sources, this transfer was purely of a self-defense nature, after all, the sudden exposure of the strength of the Khaza Empire frightened the neighbors. A large number of materials within the Gree Empire were mobilized normally, and the garrisons in various places did not increase the number of conscriptions. With the exception of the Gree Empire, the rest of the kingdoms gradually stabilized after the initial turmoil. ”

All in all, good news.

Xinnuo only raised his eyelids, as if he was in a state of flux, and did not move anymore, quietly listening to the reports of the new nobles of the empire on their respective work. It blends well with the eunuch behind him, and I can't see what he thinks anymore.

After the Marquis of Jianchang issued a briefing, the Marquis of Wudu couldn't help but be a little envious of this commoner martial noble, and secretly looked at His Majesty, seeing that no one was paying attention, and quickly wiped the cold sweat that kept breaking out on his head.

Following the previous report, the three heads of the Bai Qi and Han families made a report on the financial income of this quarter by the representative of the head of the Qi family: "The foreign trade surplus in this quarter excludes operating costs, and a total income of 47 trillion purple gold coins ......"

His Majesty the Emperor spared no effort to promote the Bai Qi and Han families to the ministers of finance of the empire, and presided over the economic lifeline of the empire, but also to accelerate the growth of the Bai Qi and Han families faster, complete the same historical accumulation as the Ma Yang family as soon as possible, and promote their formation of a balanced situation.

After listening to everyone's reports, Sinno seemed to wake up. "What you have said has won my heart, the empire has been peaceful for a long time over the years, and the old evils have been emerging, as the king of a country, I have the main responsibility that cannot be shirked. When everyone below heard this, they hurriedly stood up and said to Xin Nuo: "Your Majesty is in vain, it is caused by the inability of the ministers to assist!"

All five of them left their seats and bowed to Sinnoh.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat!"

"You have contributed a lot to our empire in the past six months. With the Marquis of Jianchang here, the wolf ambition of the Gree Empire does not dare to step on my border. Although Wuduhou has a bad job, he has worked hard in the past six months, and he has also worked hard. The heads of the three families of Bai Qi and Han have even done their best to help my empire's financial revenue to a higher level, and they are all capable ministers who have contributed to it, don't be humble, it's really me incompetent!"

"Now, after the seven masters of the Ma Yang family were summoned by the Holy City, the empire's high-end combat power is lacking, and once a national war occurs, it will be very disadvantageous to our country. ”

"Do your Majesty's will!"

Xin Nuo looked at the five people in front of him, knowing that the purpose of today's meeting had been achieved, and motioned to everyone to implement various matters according to the results of the court meeting that had been discussed before, announced his withdrawal from the court, and the five people left one after another.

In the quiet palace, only the eunuch with the lamp was left to accompany him at this time.

In the hall where the needle could be heard, the eunuch who held the lamp suddenly said rudely: "Your Majesty, are you still worried about that, do you need me to take action?" Xin Nuo did not blame this eunuch, it seems that this person has a much higher status in his heart than the five just now. "No, not for the time being, you step back first, I want to be alone. ”

Shi Li, the eunuch who held the lamp, was about to retire, and suddenly Xin Nuo asked him: "Wait, can you find any strange things about the Marquis of Jianchang today?" The eunuch hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, there is something unusual." Xinnuo couldn't help but ask, "It seems that we have discovered our movements." This Jianchang Marquis is not simple, we can't force him, if we force him away, this is a big loss for us!"

"Okay, you stand down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

There was a fluctuation in space, and the eunuch who held the lamp disappeared from Xinnuo as if he had never appeared.
