Monarch of Evernight: Ninety-one Tianji Human Heart

bsp;After the lineage of the Immortal King was uprooted, Emperor Hao's true ambition gradually became apparent. Although there were some criticisms behind his back, such as being too ambitious, etc., Hao Di went his own way.

After leaving Taiye Palace, Emperor Hao immediately went to Xiaolan Palace, which was his study and the place where he handled political affairs. When the Immortal King was still here, Emperor Hao didn't come here much, and most of the time it was for small-scale special discussions. When the King of Immortality died, he stayed in Xiaolan Palace almost day and night, leaving even the harem in the cold.

As soon as he sat down in Xiaolan Hall, a chamberlain handed him a thick stack of confidential documents. Emperor Hao looked at the seals, sometimes with a happy face, sometimes with a gloomy face. When he turned to a document, he raised his eyebrows and looked very surprised. After reading it this time, he did not put it down, but read it carefully from the beginning again, and then invited Empress Li to come over.

As soon as Empress Li entered the Xiaolan Palace, Emperor Hao said: "The situation is not favorable when we cross the mainland. Do you have any good ideas to teach me?"

Empress Li smiled slightly and said, "I can't even use the Heaven's Secret Technique now, so how can I think of any good ideas?"

"It is unfavorable to cross the land and our national strength will be greatly damaged. Our development progress in the New World has lagged far behind that of Yongye. Humph, these wastes! When the situation in the New World stabilizes, I will get a few sacrificial flags!"

"Nothing in the world, no matter how big or small, is worth your Majesty's anger. By the way, didn't you send two legions there?"

Emperor Hao sighed, pushed forward the case, took two steps, and said: "The legions that can be mobilized at this time are not worth mentioning their combat capabilities. When they arrived at Yuelu, they fought on their own. I wanted them to go to the front and die, but how could the two commanders be willing to suffer such a loss?

Li Hou said: "Is it the Nangong family who has the overall command over Yuelu?"

"Who else could it be but them?"

"This has always been their family's style. It's just that looking for backing and cannon fodder to find the regular army of the empire is a bit too much."

Emperor Hao snorted and said coldly: "Do you think I don't understand their little thoughts? The Nangong family has lost its territory. If other aristocratic families also suffer heavy losses and lose all their territory, then the law will not blame everyone. I can’t throw all the dozen or so aristocratic families on the Yue Continent into the gentry, right? We’re still a little short of this step.”

Empress Li sighed and said: "This is a common problem in aristocratic families. For thousands of years, there has been no good solution. Unless..."

Emperor Hao shook his head and did not let Empress Li say the words "cutting down the feudal clan". He took out a document and handed it to Empress Li, saying: "Finally there is some good news, I am not completely disappointed."

After Li opened it and read it, she was slightly surprised and said: "The Yin family and the Kong family borrowed troops from Qianye and returned to cross the land. Now they have annihilated an army of alien beasts and liberated the entire territory of the Kong family? So fast, It’s really not easy. How many soldiers did Qianye lend them?”

Emperor Hao stretched out a finger.

"Ten thousand? No, that's a bit less. Is it one hundred thousand?"

"There is only one, one divine general."

"Divine general!" After being surprised, Empress Li sighed, "It's really a generous move. He established a foothold in Yonglu so quickly?"

"Not only has he gained a foothold, I have some doubts. His progress in the new world may be faster than Jun Du Zi Ning's. You will know just by looking at this."

After Li took the file and opened it, she let out a light sigh and said in a voiceless voice: "Five hundred thousand! Still a werewolf! How is this possible?"

Emperor Hao smiled bitterly, "At first glance, I thought it was absolutely impossible. But this matter is absolutely true. It was the news sent back by a senior spy of the empire. That person has been lurking in Yonglu for many years and only affects big things. , there has never been a mistake. Moreover, it has been confirmed through different channels that even those members of the family who went to Yonglu saw Qianye's werewolf army, but it was still there. The real recruits should have entered the new world."

"This Qianye is really..." Empress Li didn't know how to describe it.

Emperor Hao said: "This Qianye's rise is too fast. I think he was a good young man at the beginning, but now he can expand the territory and dominate one area. In my opinion, this boy has just begun to become domineering. , He can no longer be restricted. Humph, if it weren’t for those idiots in the military, how could they have forced him out of the empire?”

"At least until now, Qianye still loves the empire. After all, he has blood. If he holds a high position in the empire, there will always be something wrong."

"That's right. No matter what, Qianye is worthy of all his efforts to win over."

Li Hou said: "With Duke Cheng'en here, as well as brothers Zhao Jundu, Zhao Ruoxi, and Song Zining, why worry that he will fall to Yongye?"

Emperor Hao shook his head and said calmly: "Don't be careless. Don't forget that day, he resolutely entered the military headquarters for Ye Tong and killed Li Feng Shui, who was far more powerful than him. Although he successfully brought Ye Tong with him afterwards Yuan Yuan, but that was the result of Zhao Clan's secret help. At the beginning, he was really determined to die, so if it was for Ye Tong, those people you just mentioned may not be able to win him back."

Empress Li said gently: "Then what should I do? Please tell me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hao said slowly: "Qianye is a person who values ​​affection and righteousness the most. Ji Tianqing alone may not be able to win over him, so if you have any means, just use them."

"There are many means, but they all come with a price. I don't know how much your Majesty wants to pay."

Emperor Hao was silent for a moment and then said: "At any cost!"

Queen Li agreed and bowed out.

However, Emperor Hao did not return to the table. He turned around and walked towards the gray stone display wall on the other side of the bookshelf, which was covered with paintings and calligraphy. There were numerous works by everyone, rotating every ten days. Emperors of Qin in the past dynasties all had hobbies of calligraphy, painting, or both. Their works would contain their various mysterious understandings and experiences of the world. Appreciating their works can also be regarded as an auxiliary means of cultivation.

Emperor Hao walked directly to the place closest to the lattice window pane at the back of the palace. Among several wide landscapes, there was an inconspicuous Dou Fang sketch, which was at eye level, the most convenient position for viewing. Emperor Hao looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly showed a tired face and gently pressed his forehead against the cold stone wall beside the signature.

"Teacher... one day you will see the real bright sun rising from this world."

After leaving Xiaolan Hall, Empress Li summoned Eunuch Liu to come. After Eunuch Liu sat down and had some refreshments, Li Fangfang said: "You have seen Qianye in a neutral place. Based on your eyesight, what do you think this person's potential is?"

Eunuch Liu said slowly: "Is this still an old man's evaluation? He has proven everything in Ningyu Mansion and Yong Lu. This boy can now dominate, but his future is still unlimited."

Empress Li was thoughtful and asked: "This is what I don't understand. Why is he so supported by the werewolves in Yonglu?"

Eunuch Liu obviously knew about Yong Lu's current situation. When Empress Li asked about it, he said, "After much thought, I can only find one reason: the power of blood."

"Want to hear the details."

"Although Qianye is not a werewolf, his dark force must have reached an extremely high level, and its purity may not be as pure as the morning light on the side of dawn. The blood power of the dark race is, to put it bluntly, just the dark force. It just depends on how pure the power is on the spectrum of power. The closer to the source of darkness, the stronger the power becomes. As for blood or magic, it is just the external form of the dark force."

Empress Li was slightly surprised, "In other words, Qianye actually has top-notch blood energy talents?"

"This is the only explanation."

"It's incredible." Empress Li sighed, shook her head and said, "Why did the empire miss such a talent?"

Eunuch Liu said calmly, "There are talented people from generation to generation. If you miss one or two, it will not affect the overall situation. Among their generation, Song Zining is not bad. And Zhao Jundu, judging from his old age, may not be the best." There is no road ahead."

"Zhao Jundu?"

"Since his foundation was damaged, he forced his way through the Divine General's Heavenly Pass when he came back, and then devoted himself to secular affairs and war. Others thought that he was not enterprising, but in their old and foolish opinion, this boy was refining gold with the method of fire. There is no chance of success if you build your foundation.”

Empress Li sighed, "This Yanyun Zhao family is really talented."

"Zhao Clan is smart but not talented, so it is not a big deal. There are many talented people in this branch of history, but just because their talents are too good and their progress is too smooth, they often do not get the training they deserve. Look at this There are so many great generals in the history of the Zhao family, and it is rare for any generation to have a single great general support them alone. Compared with other surnames, they are quite impressive and talented, but there are only a few kings, if it were not for the fact that Zhao Wuji moved his family to the Western Continent. There will be no further prosperity."

"My father-in-law is right. Maybe I, Mr. Li, am too comfortable."

Eunuch Liu said without comment: "This is just an old man's foolish opinion."

“Actually, if you think about it, King Qingyang’s journey may seem smooth, but in fact he has put in a lot of effort. Except for martial arts, he has given up almost everything. Every time he is promoted, he has been through life and death, and he has achieved what he has achieved today. . If any link is wrong, it will fall by the wayside." At this point, Empress Li seemed to think of something and sighed quietly.

"Have you remembered that engagement?"

"...Yes."

"Forgive me for being blunt, but King Qingyang has never agreed."

Empress Li sighed, "You don't know something. There is a chance to reach an engagement in Japan, but King Qingyang has just been promoted to Heavenly King. He is devoted to martial arts and does not want to be tied up. He said that we would discuss it after ten years. Kuanglan can't wait. Ten years."

"Since we can't pay the price of ten years of youth, this engagement cannot be accomplished."

Empress Li nodded and said: "From then on, I understood that if you want to be successful, you have to pay something. The more you want, the more you have to pay. A family, a country , it’s all like this. Someone has to sacrifice in order to prosper.”

Eunuch Liu said calmly: "The Li family is destined to be promoted, but it will only happen sooner or later. What else does the empress have to worry about?"

Empress Li shook her head slightly, "Now that I have been promoted to the throne, my achievements are not enough, so I will inevitably be discussed. On the other hand, it is because Lin Dazai left that our Li family has the opportunity to rise to the throne. In the game of Tianjishu , we have been completely defeated.”

"I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"If you have anything to say, father-in-law, just say it."

"Xitang's talent is no less than that of King Qingyang. Compared with him, you are just asking for trouble."

Empress Li smiled softly, not annoyed, "I also know that's the truth, but I'm just not convinced. Although he left, he still left a lot of backup plans. I want to see if he can win. Him once."

"Where do you plan to start?"

"Of course Qianye."

"...the empress takes care of herself."

"My father-in-law doesn't think so highly of me?"

"If Xitang has a legacy, Qianye must be the core. If the empress wants to try, that's all right, just don't be discouraged if you fail."

"If a game cannot change according to the times, it is a dead game. Everyone else has left, even if some arrangements are left, it is just a dead game. Am I still unable to win?"

"Tianji is also the human heart. Although Xitang is gone, Qianye is still there. He is still here, so this game is alive. The empress predicts that Tianji will be hard to find an opponent, but this human heart..."
