"Palace Master, Qinglan Island once again rejected our request and refused to contribute."

Next to her, a maid wearing silk gauze saw that the woman had woken up, and hurriedly reported it.

"Qinglan Island? Isn't it an island of the human race? Why do you want them to contribute?"

Hearing this, the woman frowned slightly, shook her head in doubt, and stood up gracefully. The sea current was slightly swaying like a breeze, shaking the long skirt on the woman's body.

His gaze swept across the maid's cheek coldly.

"The six tribes near Qinglan Island intend to leave the Yaosheng Palace and want to attach themselves to the Dali Dynasty. The four palace masters are dissatisfied with this and want to put pressure on Qinglan Island, hoping that Qinglan Island will give up those six tribes. "The maid explained.

There is one palace master, four hall masters, and 32 demon kings in the Yaosheng Palace. The palace master is the master, the four hall masters are assistants, and the 32 demon kings guard the four directions of the sea.

"Since it is the idea of ​​the fourth palace master, let the fourth palace master handle it, why ask me?" The woman said indifferently.

The maid lowered her head and said in a low voice, "The Lord of the Four Palaces wants to release the tide to flood Qinglan Island."

"It's up to him, he can deal with it as he likes. If he can't deal with it, he can ask other hall masters." The woman said indifferently.

……

In the spacious and bright hall, a middle-aged man with a slightly gloomy face was holding a glass of sake, drinking a little irritably.

This middle-aged man is the fourth hall master of the Yaosheng Palace, the Chi Chi demon clan, known as the Chi Chi palace master.

The Lord of Chiqi Hall is very upset now, because Qinglan Island has settled down with six demon tribes including the Merman Clan, Clam Monster Clan, and Turtle Spirit Clan.

Originally, all tribes in the Demon Sea Territory made tributes to the Yaosheng once every ten years, and the specific amount of contribution was determined by the Yaosheng Palace according to the strength of each tribe.

The six monster tribes near Qinglan Island are originally located in remote areas of the sea. For the monsters in the sea, the closer they are to the land, the more remote they are.Of course, being remote doesn't mean being weak, it's just that the more remote you are, the less you will be restrained by the Demon Saint Palace.

In fact, the six monster clans including the Merman Clan and the Clam Monster Clan are already considered relatively powerful clans within the sphere of influence of the Yaosheng Palace. After all, they all have strong people in the Dao Realm.

The strongest members of many seabed monster clans are only at the Xuantong realm. The six monster clans including the mermaid clan and clam monster clan have strong members of the Ming Dao realm, so they are not weak.

The strength is not weak, but it is located in a remote place, and is less restricted by the Yaosheng Palace, so it has always been a mermaid.The contribution of the clam monster clan and other six monster clans to the Yaosheng Palace is just for fun.

In the past, Yaosheng Palace didn't care much about it.

But it's different now.

Everyone in the Yaosheng Palace knows that the Merman Clan and Clam Monster Clan have earned a lot of spiritual stones through Qinglan Island in recent years.

They earn a lot of money, and others are naturally envious and jealous.

Even Chi Chi was greedy for this.

So Chiqi wanted to take advantage of this year of tribute to make a big blow from the Merman Clan and the Clam Monster Clan.

But the Yuren tribe didn't dare to lose face at all. Not only did they drive out the envoys he sent, but they also uttered wild words that they would no longer pay tribute to the Yaosheng Palace.

The merman race and the others are so arrogant, how can the Chiqi bear it?

So he went directly to Qinglan Island and directly asked Qinglan Island to contribute.

As a result, Qinglan Island didn't even give face. Benboerba and Babolben not only refused his request, but also beat up the envoy he sent.

Now Chi Chi was annoyed, and directly ordered the blockade of Qinglan Island, prohibiting the expansion of Qinglan Island and the Yuren Clan and other six demon clans to other sea areas.

It's just that, Chiqi didn't feel relieved, he wanted to completely destroy Qinglan Island and kill all the Yuren people.

But after all, there is the Dali Dynasty behind Qinglan Island, and destroying Qinglan Island means going to war with the Dali Dynasty. Although he is the fourth hall master of the Yaosheng Palace, this kind of thing cannot be decided by him alone.

So he asked the Palace Master for instructions.

And the palace lord of Yaosheng Palace usually only knows how to practice in seclusion, and sometimes he does seclusion for several years.

Chi Chi had no choice but to wait impatiently for the palace lord to leave the customs.

"Palace Master, when will you leave the customs?"

The more Chi Chi thought about it, the more irritable he became. In his anger, he suddenly slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table heavily. The wine splashed all over the table, startling the maid who was waiting on the side, and hurriedly changed another glass carefully.

"The fourth palace master, the palace master has an order. The affairs of Qinglan Island are up to the fourth palace master. If you can't handle it, you can ask the other three palace masters."

Just when Chi Chi was angry, a maid walked into the hall, and the silk gauze fluttered with the water patterns, and said to Chi Chi with a chuckle.

"Well, the palace lord has left the customs?" Chi Qi said with his eyes brightened.

"Going back to the fourth palace master, the palace master just left the customs, but now the palace master has gone to the Longqian Abyss again." The maid smiled lightly.

Longqian Abyss is a sacred place for cultivation, and its interior is extremely rich in water spirit. There are legends in the underwater world that there are dragons hiding in its depths.

The Yaosheng Palace will go to the Longqian Abyss to practice for a period of time every few years.

"The palace master is really good, he knows how to practice." Chi Chi said with some dissatisfaction.

"The master of the fourth palace is careful!" the maid said in a low voice.

Chi Chi immediately gave a jolt, and said with a sneer, "Hehe, yes, you should be cautious, haha~~"

The maid nodded in satisfaction, and said, "The Palace Master's order has been sent to the Fourth Palace Master, so I'll go back first."

After speaking, she turned to leave.

"Wait." Chi Chi hurriedly called to stop her.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a jade box appeared in his hand.

"Trouble winning sister, a small gift is not a respect."

Sister Ying, the maid, looked at the jade box and said with a smile, "It's disrespectful."

She put the matter in front of the palace lord, she was already doing Chi Chi a favor, and she should be paid a little bit.

Chi Chi gifted Sister Ying to walk out of the hall, and the restlessness in her heart was swept away immediately.

"Qinglan Island, Dali Dynasty, hahaha, this time I must let you all know how powerful the Lord is."

Chapter 4 Emperor Zun Pavilion, Tianyun Pavilion

Dali Kyoto.

in the inn.

The old man and the boy have lived here for five days.

In the past five days, they traveled almost all over the city of Kyoto, and also ate all over the city of Kyoto.

Now is the time for them to leave.

The two packed their things, walked out of the inn, got into the carriage, and under the protection of several guards, they left slowly along the wide street.

Inside the carriage.

The old man closed his eyes and pondered.

The young man was sitting next to him, fiddling with the jade talisman, and entering some information from time to time.

suddenly.

The old man opened his eyes and took out a golden token from his pocket.

The front of the token is engraved with the words "Di Zun Pavilion", and a five-clawed golden dragon is engraved on the back, which is lifelike.

"Give this order to Li Huang!" He said with a particularly solemn expression.

Hearing this, the young man almost popped his eyes out.

"Master, this is the order of the emperor, how can it be handed over to an emperor of the sixth dynasty?"

"Go as soon as I tell you! Why are you talking so much nonsense?" the old man said with a beard and a stare.

The young man scratched his head eagerly, and said, "Master, please think again."

"Think about it, hurry up!" The old man threw the token to the boy and urged.

The boy frantically followed the token, and hesitantly opened the curtain.

"Master, you really don't think about it anymore!"

He still couldn't help asking again.

"No need." The old man closed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

The boy had no choice but to get out of the carriage with the token.

After he left, the old man opened his eyes and said helplessly: "If you think about it again, I'm afraid you will regret it as a teacher?"

He shook his head sullenly.

And the young man got off the carriage, found a secluded place, and then squeezed the formula in his hand, and threw the golden token into the air.

……

In the palace study.

Zheng Ming is leisurely playing chess with Jia Xu.

It was rare that Jia Xu was free, so he invited him to play chess.

Zheng Ming always felt that something was wrong when playing chess with others.

Either it was too bad to lose, or it was too easy to win.

The reason why he lost so badly was that his opponent refused to let him go. A typical example is Xin Qiji, who didn't show any mercy to him, the emperor, and killed him every time he played chess.

It was too easy to win because the opponent gave way too much. Typical examples include Cao Zhengchun and Xiao Fuzi, who only think about how to lose.

However, people like Fa Hai, Jiu Jianxian and others said that they can't play chess, and they don't know if they really can't or fake, but they just don't want to play chess with him.

Only playing chess with Jia Xu can make Zheng Ming feel evenly matched. Although he loses every time, the loss is hearty.

"Your Majesty, you lost!" Jia Xu said with a light smile as he held his hand down.

Zheng Ming looked at the black and white chessboard, and raised his eyebrows lightly.

"Can't you let me win a game?"

"Winning or losing is not important, it's the process that matters," Jia Xu said.

Zheng Ming gave him a blank stare speechlessly.

"I only care about the result."

"Then Your Majesty should play chess with Eunuch Fu." Jia Xu laughed.

Next to him, Xiao Fuzi immediately showed a foolish smile.

Zheng Ming glanced at Xiao Fuzi, and said, "He's too stupid, winning too easily, it's meaningless."

Xiao Fuzi still smiled foolishly.

Just be stupid, he dare not win.

Jia Xu smiled and said nothing more.

Is Xiaofuzi stupid?

Nature is not stupid?

As the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, how can Xiao Fuzi be a stupid person?

The palm print eunuch is the inner court minister, the most powerful person in the palace, Xiao Fuzi can sit in this position safely, not being compared with Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun, not just taking advantage of being close to Zheng Ming.

"Your Majesty, the court has been fluctuating recently." Jia Xu said suddenly.

Zheng Ming glanced at him in surprise, and asked, "What fluctuation?"

Dali's court has always been stable, because the emperor Zheng Ming's prestige is too high, no one dares to tease his beard.In addition, because Jia Xu, Xin Qiji, Du Ruhui and others cooperated tacitly with each other, there were no messy things like fighting for power and profit, forming cliques and rejecting differences.

"The Ministry of Households is somewhat dissatisfied with the Royal Chamber of Commerce." Jia Xu said nonchalantly.

Zheng Ming was slightly taken aback, then suddenly smiled.

"Lu Kaiyan, this stingy guy, actually has his eye on the Royal Chamber of Commerce!"

Lu Kaiyan was originally the dean of Dali Huacheng Academy, but later Huacheng Academy was merged into the Sage Academy, and Lu Kaiyan entered the court as an official.

Now Lu Kaiyan is serving as Minister of the Household Department in the court.

The Minister of the Household Department is in charge of the money bag of the imperial court, and Dali Chaotang and Zheng Mingxue spent money lavishly. When they were in Jiuyu Shenzhou, they taxed one billion silver dollars every year, which was not enough for the various ministries of the court and the Dudu's Mansion. It can be seen that these guys have a lot of money to spend. How powerful.

Of course, the money was spent not because of waste or greed, but because it was really spent on construction.

But Lu Kaiyan didn't care about these things, he only knew that Dynasty's money was not enough to spend, so he developed a stingy character, every time he asked him for money, he would sting and search.
