Deep inside the Regent's Office, there is a simple and plain office.

There are not many luxurious decorations in the office. It looks like an ordinary room.

Not to mention compared with the office of Qin Ming, the head of the Cardinal Council, it can't even compare with the office of the president of an ordinary guild.

But this office is indeed the office of the Regent of the Empire, Lord Lu Ji.

"The third phase of the Northern Army's reconstruction agenda was rejected by the Imperial Parliament. The Parliament insisted on re-selecting senior officers above the rank of colonel and also gave nominations......Basically they are from aristocratic families."

"There has been another unusual movement on the Void Front. According to intelligence, in three months, the frontline will likely suffer a large-scale Void invasion."

"The envoy of the Tsarist Empire has just arrived in the imperial capital, hoping to be summoned by you."

Lu Ji looked like an ordinary old man with white hair. He was reviewing various documents and listening to various reports from his subordinates.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked into the office in a hurry:"Regent, something happened in the East China Sea!"

Hearing this, Lu Ji frowned slightly, waved his hand, and signaled the subordinates in front of him to retreat.

After several subordinates retreated, Lu Ji said lightly on his face:"I don't know which of these people has been bribed."

The middle-aged man heard this and couldn't help but be a little speechless, not knowing what to say...

Over the years, those aristocratic families have become more and more rampant, and they dare to reach into the Regent Government!

The middle-aged man's name is Ren Xun, the chief of the attendant room of the Regent Government, a 59th-level mage of proverbs, and also Lu Ji's confidant.

"What happened to the East China Sea?"

"The void invasion broke out in Donghai Province, resulting in the destruction of the Donghai City Temple and the death of thousands of candidates!

The Donghai Provincial Council impeached the Governor Chen Beiguo!"

Hearing this, Lu Ji's face changed.

The loss of thousands of candidates is equivalent to the loss of thousands of professionals. In the future, the backbone of the empire may emerge from these candidates.

This is a loss for the empire!

The impeachment of Chen Beiguo made Lu Ji frown.

Chen Beiguo was promoted by him, and he was the one who made Chen Beiguo, who was born in a civilian family, serve as the governor of Donghai Province against all odds.

He is also one of the few governor-level bosses under his command.

"what happened?"

"It seems that a Void believer sneaked into the candidates, and Governor Chen's daughter guaranteed that believer to take the college entrance examination, and then something went wrong!

The Provincial Council believed that Governor Chen had a relationship with the Void believers and launched an impeachment."

Ren Xun handed over a few documents and said in a deep voice:"The Imperial Cardinal Council has passed the impeachment case against Governor Chen and required Chen Beiguo to accept the investigation of the Imperial Supervision Department!"

Lu Ji's expression did not change. He took the document and looked at it, with a trace of anger on his face.

"Donghai Province, there had been no problems for more than ten years, but within just three days, a series of void sacrifice incidents broke out, and there was another void invasion?"

Ren Xun suddenly realized something when he heard this.

"what do you mean.....Is it the Qin family?"

He suddenly realized something and murmured,"No wonder the eldest young master of the Qin family suddenly went to the East China Sea...."

Qin Xian suddenly went from the imperial capital to Donghai City, even during the awakening ceremony, and he did not hesitate to violate the imperial decree, which naturally attracted the attention of major forces.

Now it seems that all this was done by Qin Xian.

Ren Xun was a little angry:"What on earth does the Qin family want to do? Their appetite is so big that they even want Donghai!?"

There are eleven governors in the 37 provinces of the empire, all of whom belong to the Qin family faction.

If the Donghai province is added, that is 12 governors. Almost one-third of the provinces in the entire empire are under the control of the Qin family!

"Chen Beiguo can no longer serve as the governor-general. Tell the Cardinals to agree that the provincial council president Yu Feng will succeed him as the governor-general.

But the Supervisory Department should not investigate Chen Beiguo."

Lu Ji pondered for a moment and said calmly:"Transfer Chen Beiguo to the Northern Army as the chief of staff, and let the director of the Statistics Bureau, Huangfu Zhe, go to the East China Sea Provincial Council as the speaker."

It has to be said that Lu Ji has been able to deal with the aristocratic families and control the regency power over the years.

His tactics are also very sophisticated.

When the Northern Army was rebuilt, the several candidates selected by Lu Ji were rejected by the Cardinals and the Imperial Parliament because of their lack of qualifications and strength.

Since Chen Beiguo's position as governor could not be kept, he was sent to the Northern Army.

With Chen Beiguo's strength and qualifications, even those aristocratic families could not say anything.

He used the condition of agreeing to the Qin family to get the East China Sea Province to save Chen Beiguo and let him serve as the Chief of Staff of the Northern Army.

The Qin family would agree. After all, if they really wanted to tear their faces, Lu Ji would directly put the position of the Governor of the East China Sea Province on the Imperial Parliament for discussion.

The major aristocratic families will definitely fight for it with all their strength!

Besides, Lu Ji also knew that this was a tacit understanding between Qin Ming and him.....

He asked Huangfu Zhe, the head of the General Statistics Bureau, to serve as the chairman of the Donghai Province.

Huangfu Zhe was born in the Huangfu family, a famous family in the empire, and the relationship between the Huangfu family and the Qin family has never been harmonious.

If Huangfu Zhe became the second-in-command of the Donghai Province, the Huangfu family would definitely not miss this opportunity and would probably compete with the Qin family for the power of the Donghai Province.

Lu Ji made several arrangements, not only to save Chen Beiguo, but also to provoke conflicts between the Qin family and the Huangfu family.....

The real power of the Northern Army was also taken!

However, the biggest winner of this game of power was undoubtedly the Qin family, who took over the East Sea Province.....

"By the way, how is the investigation going on with that matter?"

Lu Ji suddenly asked, staring at Ren Xun, his eyes full of seriousness and caution.

"Not very smooth.....We secretly investigated the files of the Imperial Guards, but all of them were either destroyed or missing.

As for the whereabouts of His Majesty, we have also been investigating. We have inferred that....Your Majesty may be trapped in a dimensional prison!"
