With Minmin, Yishang and other women following, how could they drink and enjoy themselves in the Qinglou. After a hurried dinner, he took his leave and left.

"Brother Zhou, Your Majesty has not been a director of the court for more than 20 days, and all the will is passed from the inner palace by the king's companion. Don't you think it's strange about these?" After returning home, Xuan'er ran to wash and sleep early, and today's activities were really boring for her. Min Min and Yi Shang followed to the study and sat there, Yi Shang ordered to make tea, and Min Min suddenly spoke.

Call...... , Zhou Yichang exhaled.

Recently, things have been really one after another, focusing on the layout in the south of the empire, and I am a little relaxed about the waves in the court. After all, Zhao Shining's body is really bad, and many things must be arranged in advance.

Counting the time, Chahan father and son have already arrived at their destination, Zhao Mu sees that his plan will definitely follow, with the help of Zhao Mu and Yueyun Erbu, the half-elf eight departments will be determined. In this way, with more than 200,000 horses of the Seventh and Ninth Army Corps, nearly 170,000 horses of the Eighth Banner Army, and more than 100,000 guards and iron cavalry, he could mobilize nearly 500,000 troops to suppress the southern counties and the direction of Manchuan Pass in a short period of time.

Now, it's time to focus on the situation in the north and the imperial capital! As long as the garrison of Luojing City can be controlled, then there will not be much change in the entire northern region. In addition to the 30,000 guards of the Internal Affairs Office held by Zhao Shining, others such as the 30,000 Yulin Army in the Miyagi City are controlled by Meng Hongye of the Academy of Literature, the 80,000 garrisons in the inner city are controlled by Lin Bo of the Military Academy and Zha Gaoyang of the Court respectively, and the 50,000 City Guards in the outer city are controlled by the Military Yuan.

All the questions are bypassed or returned to the military courtyard, the scale of their army in Luojing is not small, it is really difficult to reassure.

The relationship between Zhao Shining and the Academy of Literature is extraordinary, when he ascended the throne, the Academy of Literature was supported behind him, and it is also unknown how many of the 30,000 guards in this imperial city are still in the hands of His Majesty.

Zhao Mu is really uneasy, he is obviously the crown prince of the empire, but he does not act in a low-key manner on weekdays, so that all the Holy Courtyard knows his attitude towards the Holy Academy. At present, His Majesty is in danger, and whether he can ascend the throne at this juncture depends on the attitude of these holy courts, and the future is worrying!

"The emperor's body may have a big problem! The eldest prince Zhao Mu has not yet returned to Beijing, which makes people a little worried!" Thinking of these troubles in his heart, he was a little at a loss as he had never really experienced the change of emperor.

Zhao Min pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said with blazing eyes: "Early tomorrow morning, Brother Zhou will immediately enter the palace to see the driver, and he must see His Majesty the Emperor with his own eyes!"

Zhao Min is a person from the feudal dynasty, and he is a royal family, and he takes it as his responsibility to assist his father to pacify the world on weekdays, but he knows these things well. So, she cleared the fog and got to the heart of the matter.

"Well, yes! I have to see His Majesty with my own eyes to know how long he can delay, and if he has any arrangements, I can know it as soon as possible! Oh, I'm really stupid, just thinking about how to deal with the Academy of Soldiers and Literature, but I didn't expect that the key person is His Majesty the Emperor!" patted his head and instantly understood the trick in the middle.

"Hehe, Brother Zhou is a fan of the authorities, and Sister Zhao is a bystander!"

"Well, I know that Brother Zhou has been busy with the layout of the south recently, as well as the trivial matters of the Luojing Wenwu Academy, which inevitably ignores the role played by His Majesty in the succession. If His Majesty is unable to control the Imperial City Guard, he will presumably grant secrets to the eldest brother. So, Brother Zhou, hurry up and enter the palace tomorrow morning!" Min Min nodded and continued.

With something on his mind, it was rare that Zhou Yi did not go to Yishang or Xuan'er for the night this night, but sat in the study for a whole night, thinking hard about how to break the situation.

After dawn, under the Zhang Luo of Yishang, he put on the dark purple splendid regimental collar robe of Taifu, wore a high black gauze hat, strode out of the mansion, and boarded the carriage that had been prepared for a long time. Accompanied by a team of half-elf innate guards, they headed towards Miyagi.

Passing through the gate of the imperial city, the guards sergeant who was guarding him did not dare to stop him when he saw Taifu's purple robe, and let him go directly. got out of the car and strode towards the inner palace with a group of guards, and the eunuchs and guards along the way saw that he was kneeling on the ground with ten guards.

"Master Taifu, what is this?" As soon as he walked to the gate of the inner palace, the guard on duty who rushed to hear the news saw him behaving like this, and hurriedly asked.

"This official wants to see His Majesty!" Raising his head and glancing at the group of soldiers led by this general, Zhou Yi said lightly.

"But in the Imperial City, you can't bring a sergeant!" the general looked at this group of half-elf guards in embarrassment, of course he knew that this Lord Zhou was the only Holy Dao Grand Master in the court. Even when His Majesty saw him, he had to give three points. However, the Imperial City cannot enter foreign troops, this is an iron law!

With a wave of their hand, the half-elf guards parted solemnly, guarding both sides of the gate.

"The officials won't embarrass you, they'll stay here!"

"That's very good, Lord Taifu, please!" The general was relieved, if Zhou Yi really wanted to bring people into the palace, he would never dare to disobey.

Zhou Yi nodded, strode into the inner palace, and went straight towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Wang Banban, please go and report it, it is Zhou Yi who has come to see His Majesty!" When he walked to the Yang Xin Palace, he saw that Wang Banban had heard the news and was waiting at the door.

"Lord Taifu, Your Majesty is invited!Your Majesty, Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, and I hope that your Excellency will not speak for too long!" Zhao Shining had already been consulted, and Wang Companion walked to Zhou Yi's side and whispered.

"Well, Zhou knows!" said a promise, and after the two attendants pushed open the door of the palace, they went directly to the inner hall of the Heart Cultivation Hall with Wang's companions.

With the support of the queen, Zhao Shining sat on the dragon couch, his face was haggard, obviously suffering from illness and dying soon.

Seeing Zhou Yi come in, he raised his hand with difficulty and asked the queen to beckon the chamberlain to put a brocade stool in front of the dragon couch. Zhou Yi walked quickly to the couch, took his hand and held it, and greeted softly: "Your Majesty, the minister has come to see you!"

"Ahem...... I don't think it will take long, I don't know how long it will take for Mu'er to return to Beijing! I hold on, waiting for him to come back before I dare to close my eyes!" After coughing repeatedly, Zhao Shining's hoarse voice sounded, and his words were full of sadness.

"Your Majesty, your body will be fine!" the queen said with tears in her eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, this body will get better!" Zhou Yi also hurriedly comforted, and at the same time couldn't help but feel in his heart, even as a generation of kings, there is a day when he will die!

"Huh...... Ahem...... , Zitong, my body I know it in my heart!" he turned his head to the queen and said with a wry smile, and then stared at Zhou Yi, staring at him deadly.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Aiqing, my words today come from the bottom of my heart, and I hope that Aiqing will not fail me!"

"Your Majesty, please say, Your Majesty treats the ministers like a countryman, and the ministers will repay them with a countryman!" He was already entrusting Gu with this, thinking of the trust of the eldest prince Zhao Mu in himself, after returning to Beijing, Zhao Shining was also cared for, and Zhou Yi promised in a deep voice.

"Okay! ahem...... , Marshal Huangfu Lesheng once said, you Zhou Yi is a peerless national soldier! I believe him! I also believe you! cough ......" Zhao Shining seemed to recall the past of Huangfu Lesheng, his eyes were full of regret, and he seemed to sigh why Huangfu Lesheng died young!

Therefore, since I ascended the throne, I have given a lot of support to the Academy, breaking the balance of the Sacred Academy maintained by the previous emperors, resulting in a current trend that cannot be lost! In order to check and balance the Academy, I mistakenly believed in the Military Academy, and vigorously supported the Military Academy in the foreign armies. Alas, the Academy of Literature controls the Inner Dynasty, the Academy of War dominates the army, the royal dynasty is not safe, and I am ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors!

Mu'er has listened to my complaints about the Holy Courtyard since she was a child, so she hates the Holy Courtyard on weekdays, and I am afraid......! , I am afraid that after my death, Mu'er will not be able to succeed to the throne!Zhou Aiqing, I have said before, my Mu'er depends on your support!Can you promise me that you must try your best to help Mu'er!" Speaking of this, he suddenly felt pessimistic that even if Zhou Yi went all out, he would not be able to guarantee Zhao Mu's safety.

After all, there are many saints in the Academy of Literature and the Academy of War, and they control hundreds of officials and the army, what can a great master of the Holy Dao in Zhouyi and the declining power of the Rite Academy!

If the Academy of Literature and the Academy of Military Affairs really insist on going their own way, and Aiqing can keep Mu'er safe and secure, I will be satisfied, and I don't expect to inherit the throne! If I am given a few more years, and I support you in vigorously expanding the Academy of Literature and Martial Arts, the situation will be very different at that time!"

Zhou Yi was silent for a moment, he knew that Zhao Shining was worried about his lack of strength, and he was powerless to ensure that Zhao Mu ascended the throne!

"Your Majesty, the minister will protect the throne of the great prince!"

Zhao Shining looked at it in surprise, although he was satisfied with Zhou Yi's statement, but his expression was full of regret. If he can really live for a few more years, with his original plan, it will not take long to gain a large number of civil and military officials loyal to the royal family, so why be so afraid.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zhou Yi gritted his teeth, took out something from his arms, put it in front of him, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the treasure of the human emperor awarded by the ancestor, the jade seal of the country!"

With his eyes wide open, Zhao Shining stared at the eight big characters engraved under He's bi, "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity!", his lips trembled and asked: "The jade seal of the country!?

The eight big characters on it are the title words of the holy decrees of the emperors of the Qinling Empire, from this jade seal, he can feel the coercion, and it is not an ordinary thing at a glance!

"This is the first master to obtain by chance, but it is the treasure of the human emperor! It can suppress the national fortune, restrain the holy Taoist monks, and strive to protect the safety of the human emperor! Your Majesty, when the minister first came to Luojing, he was attacked and killed by the military academy Xianyu Wende Grandmaster outside the city, and the minister was just a scholar and scholar, and he relied on this jade seal to kill Xianyu Wende!" Since Zhou Yi had already taken out this treasure, he did not shy away from it, and directly explained the reason and plate.

"This ...... This ...... "Zhao Shining was completely shocked, this inconspicuous jade seal was actually able to let the university scholar kill the great grandmaster, could it really be God to protect the Qinling royal family! At the same time, when he thought of the word "passing on the country", his expression suddenly changed, and a doubt rose in his heart.

"Aiqing! I have made up my mind, I want to be in you, Zhao Mu's talent is limited, and he is not able to take on a big responsibility, only Aiqing can reverse the decline of the empire! This seal is a jade seal of the country, you can get it, presumably the will of heaven is like this!" As soon as these words came out, not only Zhou Yi's face changed greatly, but even the queen was also discolored.
