Yanlong Empire, Yanlong Flame City, Imperial Palace, Parliamentary Hall.

The ministers of civil and military affairs are divided into left and right, up to 100 zhang, and the 50-zhang wide parliamentary hall is full of more than 1,000 civil and military generals who are qualified to go to the court.

In the main hall, there are dozens of gilded dragon pillars, leading straight to the dome as high as 30 zhang. In front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, there are nine white jade steps, on which the statue of an auspicious beast stands proudly, and the end is majestic, and only in the center and on both sides is a path paved with a red carpet for the eunuchs who convey orders to go up and down.

On the top of the nine-level jade steps, it is a whole body carved with black jade, exudes a cold chill of the emperor's seat, there is a golden plaque on the emperor's seat, the book "Virtue Loads" four words, the plaque is a transparent glazed tile above, pure and brilliant light pours down from it, shines on the emperor's seat, suddenly makes it brilliant, majestic and sacred.

After the ministers stood still, a slightly old eunuch walked out from behind the emperor's seat and said sharply: "The emperor, the emperor!" This eunuch is not Xiao Lizi, but who is it? Of course, the former Xiao Lizi has become Gonggong Li.

With his shout, a majestic man wearing a black imperial dragon robe slowly walked out surrounded by many palace maids.

Seeing the emperor come out, more than 1,000 civil ministers and military generals under the ninth-level jade steps all knelt down on one knee, and shouted long live in their mouths, and the sound shook so much that the glazed tiles on the dome of the political hall shook.

"Zhuqing, just get even!" The thick and majestic voice of the man on the emperor's throne sounded, and the ministers straightened up and looked straight ahead.

According to the standard procedure of the previous dynasty, Gonggong Li shouted on the side: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat from the court!" It is naturally impossible to have nothing to do, so the ministers began to report all kinds of affairs.

Looking at the ministers in front of him stepping forward one by one to report various affairs, Lin Zhan nodded from time to time, but his handsome appearance in the past has become majestic, and the two sword eyebrows are really like swords exuding endless fierce meaning, and the eyes are as deep as stars, making people can't guess what he is thinking, like a side face with a knife and an axe, exuding a fatal mature charm, this is Lin Zhan, who is now the emperor.

Eight years ago, under the leadership of the great elder Lin Mu, Lin Zhan went deep into the Jedi dangers in various places in the Eastern Continent, fought with all kinds of powerful demonic beasts, tempered his fighting spirit and witchcraft, and died several times, leaving tens of millions of scars on his body.

With a strong strength that reached the peak of the Golden Knight and the peak of the Golden Witch, Lin Zhan returned to the imperial capital, and under the instruction of the great elder Lin Mu, Lin Zhan's father Lin Feng was very happy to abdicate and make way for Xian, allowing Lin Zhan to ascend to the position of the Ninety-Five Supreme. After that, Lin Zhan accepted two daughters of famous families as concubines, gave birth to two princes respectively, and then Lin Zhan began to govern the military and political affairs of the empire wholeheartedly.

In the past five years, Lin Zhan has worked hard every day, and with the full cooperation of his subordinate ministers, in just five years, the taxes of the Yanlong Empire have actually doubled! This is not a rampant levy to increase the tax rate, on the contrary, in these years, the tax rate of the Yanlong Empire has been far lower than that of the other four empires, but in terms of economy, the Yanlong Empire has become the richest country among the five major empires of the Eastern Continent, and its prosperity is in full swing!

At the same time, Lin Zhan also increased investment in education, roads, bridges and other aspects of people's livelihood, coupled with the reduction of taxes, the people of the Yanlong Empire did not support Lin Zhan, the new emperor, and praised him as the Holy Emperor of Renhuang, according to the questionnaire survey of the official investigation agency of the empire, the public's support for Lin Zhan reached 95 percent, and the remaining five percent of the dissatisfaction was that Lin Zhan only accepted two concubines! The cruelty of this world determines that only having more children can be passed on, and ordinary people who have a little money have a few concubines!

Lin Zhan, as the emperor of the Yanlong Empire, should be the best woman in the world, and filling in the ** side is the right way, but Lin Zhan is not, even the current two concubines are only reluctantly accepted by Lin Zhan in order to block the demands of the ministers and many people. So the folk began to spread that Lin Zhan and a certain woman fell in love, but the woman unfortunately died, so Lin Zhan no longer liked other women, which made countless girls cry bitterly.

However, only Lin Zhan himself knows why he doesn't wantonly accept the beauties of the world as concubines, no one knows the bitterness in the heart of this cold emperor, and the person who is not understood is the saddest.

Thinking of this, a trace of gloom flashed in Lin Zhan's eyes, but then, he expelled this trace of weakness again, regained his cold eyes, and listened intently to the report of the Minister of Household Registration below.

"Thanks to His Majesty's encouragement in the past five years, the latest survey shows that the total population of the empire has reached more than 750.8 million people, ranking first among the five major empires of the Eastern Continent!

Lin Zhan nodded, and said lightly: "Aiqing has worked hard, and there are rewards from all levels of the household registration department, so step down!" Xie En, who was over fifty years old, was busy with the ministers of the household registration department, and retreated to the Wenchen queue.

Next, the Minister of War and the Minister of Finance respectively reported on the military affairs and financial situation of the Yanlong Empire, and two hours passed, and then Gonggong Li announced his retirement from the court, and the ministers walked out of the hall in turn, leaving only the Minister of War, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of State, the three powerful courtiers in the court.

"The Imperial Study. Lin Zhan left a word, and then stepped down from the throne and turned around, and the three ministers behind hurriedly followed.

In the imperial study, Lin Zhan was dressed in a red light robe, sitting on the white ice demon fox skin, tasting the ginseng tea made by small plums, and only after half a ring, Lin Zhan said to the three ministers who were also sitting: "The current conditions, can you start the 'Martial Emperor' plan?" When he said the word "Martial Emperor", Lin Zhan's eyes suddenly seemed to be burning with crazy flames.

The three ministers glanced at each other, knelt down at the same time and said, "Your Majesty, once this plan is launched, it will be a reckless use of military force, labor and money!"

"What if it succeeds?" Lin Zhan said lightly without a trace of expression on his cold face.

"Okay, I have made up my mind, the plan must be activated, if there is misfortune, I am solely responsible, not to mention that the plan may not fail! The three of them are all my uncles, I hope to get your strong support, if this matter is successful, my Yanlong Empire will definitely dominate the Eastern Continent!" After Lin Zhan finished speaking, an astonishing monstrous momentum suddenly appeared on his body.

Minister of War Lin Hongjiang, Minister of State Lin Kongyu, Minister of Finance Lin Xuanchao, all three of them are members of the Lin family's royal family, and they are all old ministers of Lin Feng's generation.

"Well, since it's started, let's hurry up! Gonggong Li, take down my orders: First, from now on, except for the palace maids who serve the two noble concubines, all the remaining 100,000 palace maids will be sent home; second, from this year onwards, the annual conscription amount of the empire will be doubled, and the regular army of the empire must be expanded to eight million within eight years; third, increase the number of folk wizards, Fourth, 10,000 of the 30,000 dark dragon guards stationed in the palace will be retained, and all the rest will be sent to the southern demon extermination defense line to help resist the demonic beasts; fifth, a new garrison department will be set up under the Ministry of Military Affairs to coordinate the training of city guards in large and small cities of the empire, and an elite army with a total of 3 million people must be trained within eight years. Lin Zhan said unhurriedly, Gonggong Li hurriedly wrote down all the orders on paper, and prepared to go to the holy decree immediately, and then distribute it.

Seeing that the emperor had given orders, the three Lin ministers agreed with a bang, and then slowly retreated and left the imperial study.

"Li Zi, how is the training of the dark army?" Lin Zhan asked Gonggong Li on the side. Li Zi hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, an army of 100,000 people, all have the strength of high-level silver knights, ready to die for Your Majesty at any time!"

"Okay, if it happens, I will definitely not forget Aiqing's hard work!" Lin Zhan's words revealed an aura of danger, like the moment before the poisonous snake was ready to attack.

"Serving His Majesty, of course, slaves and maids don't dare to make meritorious contributions!" Gonggong Li said that he didn't dare, but there was a smile on his face, this Majesty who he grew up watching since he was a child, is eloquent and strategic, it is crazy, look at it, it is to expand the armament and war, and it is to let himself train a vicious dark army, and it is to unify the continent. If the Yanlong Empire really unifies the continent, this will be a merit that will be praised for generations, and he will have to leave a few thick strokes in the history books! Gonggong Li thought about it and became excited again, as for failure, he was a eunuch in this life, and he had no other pursuits, even if he died, what was he afraid of?

Just when both the monarch and the minister were immersed in the great achievement, a little eunuch came to the door of the imperial study, Gonggong Li hurriedly walked over, and after a few words, Gonggong Li came back to report: "Your Majesty, Qingyu County Shou asked to see, and used the red warning order!"

"Oh, the red alert order was actually used, could it be that there was something wrong with the imperial mausoleum? No, just announce him when he comes in and ask!" Lin Zhan was puzzled at first, and then let Gong Li come in.

Qingyu County, where the Imperial Emperor's Tomb is located, after the death of the previous emperors, they must be buried in the Qingyu Holy Tomb in Qingyu County, so the Qingyu County Guard has a red warning order in his hand, and he can use the token to go directly to the palace emperor when there is a problem with the imperial tomb.

After a while, Xiong Youyuan, the city lord of Qingyu City, ran in out of breath, knelt down on the ground and shouted long live, and then presented a token.

Lin Zhan suddenly saw the token, stepped in front of Xiong Youyuan in one step, and said coldly: "Where did you get this token?" Say it quickly, otherwise it will ......" An incomparably powerful momentum emerged from Lin Zhan's body, directly pressing Xiong Youyuan.

"Your Majesty, here's the thing......" Xiong Youyuan hurriedly began to talk about Ryan's mistake and murder, and at the same time he was glad that he had made the right bet, seeing that the emperor was so nervous, Xiong Youyuan knew that his great wealth was in hand. Last night, after Laifu left, he spent a lot of money to teleport the witch array from a long distance to the outskirts of the imperial capital, and used the red alert order, hurried slowly, and finally arrived at the palace at noon.

"Laifu, Lane, did you go to Qingyu County?" Listening to Xiong Youyuan's narration, Lin Zhan's face showed a look of memory, and the corners of his mouth also had a hint of smile, and he muttered in a low voice.

Lin Zhan naturally knew that the so-called Lyle and his son Lynn were the ones who chose the throne and gave up Lynn, which was also extremely painful, he had been looking for Lynn's whereabouts, but there had been no news, which was good.

"What? That child of the Zhu family actually scolded Ryan for being a wild seed and insulting his mother for being a woman in a Qinglou? How unreasonable is that! Very good, very good!" Lin Zhan heard this, and with a force on his hand, the armrests on the dragon chair instantly shattered into slag, and he sneered angrily. If Ryan is a wild seed, then what is he Lin Zhan, the emperor of the empire?

"Ryan killed well, killed well!" Lin Zhan exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is just worried that the people of the Zhu family are not good for Ryan now!The child of the Zhu family is the only male of the Zhu family, and now that he has been killed, he will definitely not give up, but their family has two high-level Holy Star Knights!" Xiong Youyuan finally expressed his worries.

"They are willing to give up, but I still don't want to! Gonggong Li, you personally go to this matter, take nine Yan Longwei and five hundred Dark Dragon Guards, and let the local garrison cooperate, and give the Nanming Zhu family to me to exterminate the family, and the chickens and dogs will not be left! Hey, you actually dare to deal with me...... Xiong Youyuanqing, I will remember your merits, the wealth of the Zhu family, you can take away Yicheng. Lin Zhan suddenly smelled of a hundred battles of blood, and brazenly issued an order to exterminate the Zhu family, and the sharp spirit in his words was worthy of his title of Martial Emperor!

Gonggong Li and Xiong Youyuan took the order and left, Gonggong Li's face suddenly became murderous, Xiong Youyuan was smiling, the assets of the richest merchant family in Nanming Province, what kind of astronomical amount did it have to be! Xiong Youyuan was once again glad that he had received Laifu and got this opportunity to be rich and rich.
