Mystery: start a secret pavilion

The forefront of Ziyun Empire.

After Ye Tianlong's will was conveyed, a ferocious look flashed across Ye Yunfei's face.

"My son (last general), thank you Lord Long for your kindness."

Ye Yunfei and the generals behind him knelt together to express their gratitude.

"Second prince, I hope you will take care of yourself." The imperial envoy read out the imperial decree, left a cold sentence and left.

Ye Yunfei's face turned ferocious.

"It's a good one to delay the military plane, but I think it's father and son!"

Ye Yunfei's every word was full of brutal killing.

Ye Tianlong exempted him from the death penalty, weakened his military power, and transferred part of the soldiers and horses to the Zhenbei Army, which was under the jurisdiction of the Zhenbei Army.

The situation became more and more unfavorable to him.

His sixth younger sister not only gained a firm foothold in the court, but also gradually seized his military power.

"Second prince, the most urgent task now is to be patient." Mu Qingyan repeatedly warned.

"How do you tell me to be patient?!" Ye Yunfei was furious.

The generals in the army were also replaced by students from Ziyun Holy Academy by Ye Tianlong for various reasons.

If you continue to wait, it will be a slow death.

"Old guy, why are you so biased? How can Ye Ziyun compare to me?" Ye Yun said calmly, "Since you are like this, don't blame me for being cruel."

……

Rumor House.

Ye Ziyun is holding a celebration banquet to reward all the students of Ziyun Holy Academy.

Now she has become a great trend, and if there is no accident, becoming a generation of empress is a certainty.

"Haha, Sixth Princess, if one day the orthodoxy of the Ziyun Holy Academy can be spread throughout the Ziyun Empire, I will be the first to thank you." Gan Tai toasted Ye Ziyun and laughed heartily, "Good wine, I'll drink it first. "

After finishing the bowl, Ye Ziyun put down her wine glass: "It's getting late, you guys should go to bed early!"

She went to the palace to meet Ye Tianlong by herself.

The discussion overnight was all about the Cangyun Empire and the upcoming Seven Nation Ranking Tournament.

Among the seven empires in the Cangxuan Region, the Cangyun Empire is the strongest, followed by the Lanfeng Kingdom, and the Ziyun Empire is the third strongest.

"Father, I have something to worry about." Ye Ziyun said suddenly.

"Oh? Are you talking about Henry Zhang?" Ye Tianlong asked.

"No, it's the current situation of Ziyun Empire."

In Ye Tianlong's surprised expression, Ye Ziyun slowly opened the mouth and said: "The Ziyun Empire wants to bring all its strength to the center, and the major sects must be the key targets, especially the four major sects. However, we have already negotiated with the Xuannv Palace. Ally."

This is indeed a problem.

Ye Tianlong thought about it.

Since ancient times, Zongmen and imperial power have been incompatible.

Either the sect became bigger and the emperor's power was emptied, or the emperor completely divided the sect.

The Ziyun Empire gradually took back the local powers of the various sects, except for the Xuannv Palace.

Even now, it seems that only the sect of Xuannv Palace will not be able to achieve a balanced state with Ziyun Empire.

But who can guarantee that after a thousand years or ten thousand years?

But the most urgent task right now is to make friends with Xuannv Palace.

After all, Xuannv Palace and Tianji Pavilion have a very close relationship. In order to have a good relationship with the owner of Tianji Pavilion, they must make good friends with Xuannv Palace.

"Father, I implore you to use the power of the Ziyun Empire to find the whereabouts of Shangguan Qingxuan and others."

Ye Ziyun also knew that it was useless to dwell on the previous question, so she simply brought up this matter.

When the Daoyun Pagoda collapsed, it was unknown whether Shangguan Qingxuan and the others died.

It's a good thing if you can find it.

……

Cangyun Empire.

The army of [-] was wiped out, and the coach Zhang Xuan was arrested, shaking the government and the public.

Sima Xiangyuan, the emperor of the Cangyun Empire, sat on the dragon chair, accepting the worship of civil and military officials, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

"I knew that this must be a conspiracy of the Ziyun Empire. The border was undefended, and Henry Zhang's lone army was lured deep into it, and then surrounded and wiped out."

Qin Songlin, the state affairs officer, stood beside the dragon chair and scolded the civil and military officials: "I strongly opposed it at the time, but you all rushed into the palace one by one. Now that something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"

All the ministers who proposed to go in alone trembled in fright and remained silent.

"Your Majesty, I don't know that Ziyun Empire still has the energy to intervene in the border when it is fighting with the three major sects on the third front."

A minister stood up and said bravely, justifying the minister who suggested that the army go deep before.

"You are all hindsight, and your mouths are stronger than the other."

Sima Xiangyuan was furious: "Useless things, come here, drag them all down and cut them down!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

These ministers knelt down and begged for mercy, but were dragged down, and all their heads fell to the ground after a while.

"Report, there is the latest news!"

The spies from the Ziyun Empire sent back the news of the jade pendant, and those who received the news reported it immediately.

"General Zhang Xuan is still alive, but he is now in the hands of the master of the Tianji Pavilion."

"God bless my Cangyun Empire."

Zhang Lin, the prime minister of the court, breathed a sigh of relief. If Henry Zhang died, it would be a great loss for the Cangyun Empire.

A saint-level existence is far more deterrent than a thousand troops.

They have also heard about the reputation of the master of Tianji Pavilion. Recently, there has been a lot of trouble in the Ziyun Empire, and he was even worshiped by Ye Tianlong as the national teacher.

Qin Songlin said disdainfully: "Hehe, he is just a deceitful person, so why not be afraid, Your Majesty, you should immediately send diplomats to negotiate."

"The national teacher is right." Sima Xiangyuan nodded.

But who should be the envoy?
With a glance, all the civil and military officials in the court retreated, looking as if they were greedy for life and afraid of death, and the angry Sima Xiangyuan's face was gloomy.

They are all wine bags and rice bags, and they are all eloquent on weekdays, but when they want to do something serious, no one stands up.

Sooner or later, he will lay off all these mediocre people.

This is the shortcoming of the Cangyun Empire.

Although unlike the Ziyun Empire where there are many sects and the imperial power is highly concentrated, after thousands of years of development, the Cangyun Empire has produced a large number of meritorious nobles, and the county occupies a large number of fiefdoms.

The empire's talents, finances, and weapons are almost all provided by the families formed by these meritorious nobles.

This kind of force formed with the bloodline as the hub is far more difficult to eradicate than the Zongmen.

Although the imperial court has been promoting imperial examinations for nearly a hundred years to break the monopoly of the aristocratic family.

However, most of the talents born in these imperial examinations were bought by the aristocratic family with a lot of money. After being mixed into the court, within a few decades, a new aristocratic family would be born.

When the Cangyun royal family is strong, these aristocratic families will be the mainstay of maintaining the imperial power and firmly execute orders.

But once the royal family weakens, it will be a change of dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Old Chen is willing to go."

Prime Minister Zhang Lin took the initiative to invite Ying, and glanced at the retreating civil and military officials with disdain on his face.

In the end, my family is still reliable!

Sima Xiangyuan glanced at Zhang Lin, this is his brother-in-law.

"Prime Minister, you are old, I'm afraid you are not suitable for such an important task." Sima Xiangyuan was very worried.

Zhang Lin had a determined look on his face: "I thank your majesty for your concern. I am willing to go because my sword is not old."
