The drizzle began to pour down from the sky in the morning, and at noon, the drizzle turned into a torrential rain, and the torrential rain poured down like pours, covering the entire Xuanyuan Hill in a layer of rain and mist.

Because of the rain, there were a lot fewer pedestrians coming and going on the streets of the Great Emperor's Imperial City. There were a few of them who were in a hurry, wearing raincoats, and rarely stopped.

In recent months, with the offensive of the demons in the west, news came that Lizhou and Xianzhou had fallen one after another. The atmosphere of Xuanyuan Hill was just like the weather these days, full of haze. His heart felt like a heavy weight was being weighed down. It was better in the Great Emperor's Imperial City, but outside the Great Emperor's Imperial City, the business of restaurants, restaurants, singing, dancing and music workshops also suddenly became deserted.

In the face of national crisis, how many people still want to have fun?

In order to support the front-line soldiers, I heard that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace ordered to reduce various expenses in the palace, and everything in the palace was simplified. When the order is issued, the subordinates naturally dare not go too far. Even if there are extravagant people who spend money like water, at this time, if they want to enjoy it, they can only close the door in their own yard, keep a low profile and dare not make any publicity.

The entire Great Emperor's Palace was also shrouded in a gloomy and cold rain and fog.

The rainwater that poured down from the lead-like clouds flew down and washed the red-gold glazed tiles on the magnificent palaces of the Great Emperor's Palace with flying eaves, brackets, brackets, dragons, phoenix drops, and then turned into streams of pure white water. Curtains flew down from the eaves, like thousands of small waterfalls, filling the entire Great Emperor's Palace with a layer of water vapor.

Outside the Jiuji Hall, a circle of armored and sharp-armed knights holding Jinwu stood on the eaves and steps of the corridor outside the hall, guarding the Jiuji Hall. Even outside the hall, these knights holding the Golden Wu could still hear the angry roar of His Royal Highness the Prince from the Jiuji Hall.

"What is no time for others to care about? Is this how the three major sects respond? Now that the country is in crisis, it is the time when the major sects are serving the country. The Tianji Sect and the Demon Killing Valley have already sent semi-holy first-level powerhouses to lead their subordinates. It is unreasonable for the knights to rush to the Western Regions because of a cloud neutron, and the three major sects can't escape each other, and stand by and watch the demons attack!"

In the Jiuji Hall, Xuanyuan Changying standing on the imperial steps was out of anger, and roared at a minister who was talking to him, his eyes seemed to breathe fire, "Don't the three major sects know what skin is?" If it doesn’t survive, how can the generals be attached, if Taixia dies, how can the three major sects survive?”

The entire Jiuji Hall was filled with the voice of Prince Changying, and the minister who had just replied looked sullen and speechless.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were equally silent. Everyone knew that the so-called Yun Zhongzi was just an excuse. If the three major sects really wanted to worry about Yun Zhongzi, they would pull all the knights from the three major sects to the west, and no one would believe Yun Zhongzi. The real reason is that the three major sects have become too big to lose, and they didn't even take Prince Changying of the Supervisory Kingdom seriously. Since the first battle in Yinhai, the behavior of the three major sects He became more and more surly and arrogant, but Xuanyuan Hill still had nothing to do with the three major sects.

After the extreme anger, the panting Prince Changying also slowly calmed down. He knew that no matter how angry he was here, it would be of no use to the three major sects, and might be killed by the three sects instead. Da Zongmen ridiculed, and even used it as evidence to shake his own authority. The prince was incompetent, so he lost his composure in the Jiuji Hall and yelled at all the officials. If he got angry again, it might not take a few days for such rumors to spread The whole Taixia.

"Li Yunji, is there any news about Yun Zhongzi in Tingwei's Mansion?" After slowly calming down, Crown Prince Changying waved his hand, making the minister who had just replied retreat back into the ranks of ministers, and then turned his attention to Jiu On the body of Ting Weiqing Li Yunji, one of the ministers.

"This... Yun Zhongzi is a strong man of the holy rank, and his whereabouts are erratic. The Tingwei Mansion has issued an arrest order, but there is no news about Yun Zhongzi yet!" Li Yunji replied with a guilty conscience.

Hearing Li Yunji's answer, Prince Changying's eyes darkened, "Besides, Taixia Tingwei's Mansion is completely helpless against Yun Zhongzi, and there is no other way to deal with it. We can only let Yun Zhongzi think about it." Do whatever you want?"

"This..." Li Yunji was speechless for a while.

Seeing Li Yunji's appearance, the anger that Prince Changying had suppressed just now almost exploded again, but he glanced at the silent Master Situ Meng, and suppressed the anger in his heart again.

Li Yunji was recommended by Meng Shidao. He had to save some face for Meng Shidao. Logically speaking, a person who can become a phantom knight is definitely not a weak person. It's just that although this Li Yunji is not weak, his ability, For Ting Weiqing, one of the Nine Ministers, it is still too reluctant. It can only be said that it is quite satisfactory. When encountering a little bit out of the ordinary, Li Yunji will be helpless. There is no way. There are so many people with so many resources, but they can't share their worries at this time, and there is absolutely nothing they can do, which makes Prince Changying very disappointed.

At this time, Prince Changying actually regretted that he had followed Meng Shidao's words and had convicted Yun Zhongzi and made him a wanted criminal in Taixia. Neutron was labeled as a wanted criminal, but he deliberately followed the line of Yun Zhongzi with great fanfare to make a fuss about the massacre of Dahuangmen, and defined the matter between Yun Zhongzi and the three major sects as grievances in the Jianghu. Hanging a sharp sword over the heads of the three major sects and stepping on the tails of the three major sects, how could the three major sects dare to be so arrogant.

The current situation is completely opposite to Meng Shidao's judgment when he made the remarks—Yun Zhongzi became a wanted criminal. The influence of Da Zongmen is getting weaker and weaker.

Thinking of this, Prince Changying glanced at Meng Shidao again. Since the first battle in Yinhai, Prince Changying gradually felt that he was becoming less and less able to see through his master, and Meng Shidao's face was becoming more and more in front of him. It became more and more blurred. In just a few years, the relationship between the two is no longer as close as it used to be. In the current court, Da Sima Zuoqiu Mingyue is leading the army to resist the demons. Meng Shidao, who is a holy rank, and Da Sikong, who is a knight of the sky, often act as good people in front of Meng Shidao. Da Situ Meng Shidao has almost said the same thing in the nine great halls, and swallowed the party in the local area. The expansion was also extremely rapid, which made Prince Changying a little apprehensive.

"What else do you want to play?" Prince Changying asked Manchu civil and military a little tiredly. If not, today's court meeting will end here. These days, because of the unfavorable war situation, the daily court meeting is very busy. Changying, sometimes even at night, the pressure of the entire empire seemed to fall on Xuanyuan Changying.

"If you are not a general, please play!" A general of the Fourth Army came out of the ranks of generals, and said in a deep voice, "Now the frontline battle situation is critical, the demons are pressing every step of the way, Taixia and the Chinese have reached the autumn of life and death, the demons Once the clan's army breaks through the front line of Tongguan, the situation in Taixia will be completely corrupted and difficult to deal with. Although there is a big Sima sitting on the front line, but in the rear, Taixia's entire country has not fully invested in the holy war. Fighting for life and death, but Taixia still has one hand that has not used its strength. The final general asked His Royal Highness to issue military control orders in Taixia's states immediately. The chief minister and the fourth army will coordinate all the needs of the war, and let go of the demons. Go for it!"

As soon as the general of the Upper Fourth Army opened his mouth, he was immediately echoed by many generals. Before Xuanyuan Changying could open his mouth, Da Sinong, one of the Nine Ministers, took a look at Meng Shidao who was silent in front of him. One jumped out to object, "It's absurd. Now that the demon army has not reached the front line of Tongguan, why is it that the front line of Tongguan is about to fall? It's alarmist. Now in the western war zone, the land of several states is already dominated by the Fourth Army and Lord Zuoqiu. Isn’t that enough? If all the states in Taixia implement the military control order, I’m afraid that before the demons come, the states will be in chaos. The Sinon government firmly disagrees with the military control of the states..."

Da Sinong jumped out, and many civil servants immediately agreed.

Once Taixia in front of us implements military control, the power of Da Sima and generals will skyrocket, while that of Da Situ and many civil officials will be completely reduced to a foil, which will naturally cause a backlash.

The two sides immediately quarreled in the Nine Great Halls, and it was completely difficult to unify their opinions. This is not the first time this proposal has appeared in the court, and it is not the first time that all the same disputes and quarrels have occurred.

"Let's discuss this performance in the future..." Seeing this situation, Xuanyuan Changying could only wave her hand and shelved the proposal for the time being.

Just when Xuanyuan Changying was about to announce his resignation, Meng Shidao, who was standing at the front of the civil service team and hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly took a step and said to Xuanyuan Changying, "A few days ago, the governor of Jinzhou wrote, saying The Youzhou rice that His Highness introduced to Jinzhou two years ago has been bred and planted for a year. This year’s autumn harvest in Jinzhou, the first batch of more than 400 million mu of Youzhou rice planted has a bumper harvest. With more than 20% more harvest, the whole Jinzhou was shaken. The wealthy people of Jinzhou rushed to tell each other, overjoyed. Jinzhou plans to expand the planting area of ​​Youzhou rice by ten times this year. The governor of Jinzhou and a group of officials Writing a letter to invite His Highness to preside over this year’s Spring Festival in Jinzhou will definitely boost the morale of the entire Jinzhou people.”

This was almost the only good news that Xuanyuan Changying heard in today's court. After earnestly asking about the situation of Youzhou rice planted in Jinzhou, Xuanyuan Changying laughed and said happily, " Farming is the foundation of the country, so it should be encouraged, and since everyone in Jinzhou has this heart, I will go to Jinzhou to host the Spring Festival for him this year!"

The one who was really encouraged was Xuanyuan Changying, because hosting the spring festival for a state was exclusive to Emperor Xuanyuan in the past. When Emperor Xuanyuan was still there, he would choose a state every year from among the states that had a good harvest , and then personally went to that prefecture to preside over the spring festival for him in the coming year, so as to encourage farming and mulberry, and stabilize the national system. Since Jianguo, this was the first time that the governor took the initiative to write to invite Xuanyuan Changying to preside over the spring festival.

The high yield and high quality of Youzhou rice is the best in the world. Two years ago, Xuanyuan Changying personally promoted Youzhou rice and welcomed Youzhou rice to Jinzhou for a try. Unexpectedly, after only two years, it really achieved great results. This But it was a real achievement, Xuanyuan Changying was extremely happy.

Just when Xuanyuan Changying was about to open his mouth to announce his withdrawal from the imperial court, suddenly, the world outside was completely white, a bright electric light pierced through the clouds, and then a "boom" thunder exploded in the sky above the entire Great Emperor's Palace , shocked everyone in the Jiuji Hall, even the water in the two pools under the imperial steps where Xuanyuan Changying was located was rippled by the thunderstorm...

Donglei was rare in the first place, let alone such a powerful thunder that resounded through the world.

"who is it?"

"bass"

Before the bright white light of the lightning dissipated, a figure suddenly stood at the door of the Nine Great Hall amidst the thunder, and the knight holding Jinwu who was guarding the Nine Great Hall immediately yelled loudly.

With the sound of the sword being unsheathed, everyone in the hall turned their heads to look at the door of the hall at the same time. Xuanyuan Changying also raised his eyes and looked at the door of the hall.

A young man with a calm and calm face was standing at the gate of the Jiuji Hall, facing Xuanyuan Changying's eyes.

Xuanyuan Changying was stunned, dumbfounded, and even rubbed her eyes...

"Brother Changying, long time no see..." Zhang Tie let out a long breath, and walked into the Jiuji Hall...
