Xia Ji asked.
Lady Yan didn't know how to answer.
Back when the Yin-Yang School entered Qin, Lu Buwei had used them to bribe them.
As the Eastern Lord of the Yin-Yang School, her status was second only to the leader, Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
If he wanted to ask Lu Buwei out, it was indeed possible.
However…
How did Xia Ji know?
She was surprised, but she could only say resentfully,"Your Majesty, I am just a weak woman. How could I have any dealings with Lu Buwei, the Prime Minister of the State of Qin?”
Lady Yan was thinking about how to escape.
He had wanted to get close to Xia Ji and beat the others to it.
Unexpectedly, they had underestimated Xia Ji.
If Xia Ji's words were not a coincidence, then there was no way out for her.
Although she had feelings for Xia Ji, she had not made up her mind to side with him.
After all.
Now that Xia Ji wanted to revive Great Xia, the difficulty of this was immeasurable.
Even though his methods were swift and decisive, and in just two days, he had completely wiped out the entire Imperial City.
However, there were many hidden dangers.
One bad.
Great Xia would collapse instantly.
The seven vassal kings had been plotting for a long time, so they naturally wouldn't just watch as Great Xia eased up.
With this calculation, Xia Ji's situation could be said to be extremely difficult.
If she really did as Xia Ji said and asked Lu Buwei out…
This meant that he had completely cut off his escape route.
Concubine Yan felt Xia Ji's body getting hotter and hotter.
It was not good to stay here for long!
But at this moment.
"Weak woman?" Xia Ji laughed. You are not a weak woman."
"If the Eastern Lord of the Yin-Yang School was a weak woman, there would be no men in this world.”
Hearing this.
Lady Yan's body stiffened and she felt a chill run down her spine.
He found out that she was from the Yinyang School, and he also found out her identity.
This was no longer as simple as an intelligence organization.
Instead, it was very likely that he had already completely infiltrated the Qin country.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have known so clearly!
there.
Did Xia Ji know about East Emperor Taiyi's plan?
Thinking of this, Lady Yan felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.
She shifted her gaze away from Xia Ji and looked at the ground.
He did not dare to take another look.
"If you can help me contact Lu Buwei, maybe I can let the Yin-Yang School off this time.”
Xia Ji spoke again, interrupting Lady Yan's thoughts.
"Give me an answer before tonight.”
He could already tell that Lady Yan was thinking too much.
He might as well let her think about it for a while.
After all, the unknown was often the fear.
Perhaps Lady Yan would tell him her decision before night fell.
.........
Concubine Yan left the palace in a daze and returned to her bedroom.
She was also considering if she should completely side with Xia Ji.
This would be an unprecedented change in her life.
..........
In the main hall of the Palace of Summer.
Not long after Lady Yan left.
Someone asked to see him again.
In other words, there was already a long line of people waiting to see Xia Ji.
The impact of last night's incident was too great.
Almost all the officials in the court had come to the palace gates to ask for an audience.
Xia Ji ignored them.
These people were either here to show their stance or to inquire about the truth.
Cao Changqing could handle it.
Moreover, this would also be beneficial to Cao Changqing in the future.
However…
This time, the person who requested an audience was different. It was the Minister of Revenue, Pei Ju.
Hearing that Pei Ju had come to see him, Xia Ji chuckled.
Finally couldn't help it?
Very quickly.
Under the guidance of the attendant.
Pei Ju walked forward.
Under that heavy imperial aura, it made his heart tremble.
Wu Zhao's attitude toward Xia Ji was that of a submissive.
This gave him the answer to all his guesses.
It was not Wu Zhao who controlled the Human Sovereign Realm.
Instead, he had already been subdued by the Human Emperor!
This information caused Pei Ju's heart to tremble.
If he could even subdue a proud woman like Wu Zhao, Human Emperor Xia Ji was definitely not simple!
"Pei Ju, you came to see me, is there something you want to report?”
Xia Ji said calmly.
He was also thinking about how to completely subdue Pei Ju.
This person actually did not have any ill intentions. Even if he was looking for the Demonic Emperor Relic, it was only to treat his own madness.
However, Wu Zhao had already absorbed the relic.
Perhaps.
To be able to find out from him if there was anything comparable to the Demonic Emperor's relic in the Imperial City.
Xia Ji was calculating in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.
Hearing this, Pei Ju also reacted.
He lowered his head and said,"Your Majesty, I've come to apologize."”
He was the Minister of Revenue and was in charge of the country's financial income and expenditure.
Now that the national treasury was empty, it was also because he had neglected his duty and did not do his best.
Moreover, this matter was a crime of deceiving the emperor.
After all, he had already noticed the problems in the accounts.
However, because of his relationship with the Empress Dowager, he turned a blind eye.
Now, after sensing that Xia Ji was unusual.
Pei Ju had also made his preparations.
However, what puzzled him was…
Why was it that Xia Ji had no background and was rumored to be a good-for-nothing since he was young?
How did it suddenly rise?
Could it be that he had already activated the Royal Armory?
"You're quite tactful." Xia Ji smiled faintly." There's no need to apologize. I know a little about what happened in the past. I can't blame you."”
"However, from now on, if you fulfill your duties, not only will I let bygones be bygones, you will still be able to sit on the position of Minister of Revenue.”
"Are you willing?"
Xia Ji said directly.
Now that he controlled more than half of the Imperial City, there was no need to hide anymore.
He had already taken complete control and could do whatever he wanted.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Pei Ju bowed deeply.
He also understood the situation he was in.
Now that the Empress had been completely subdued by the Human Emperor, they had to rely on the Human Emperor to find the Dragon Vein.
He didn't believe that Xia Ji had no background.
For example, the blue-robed Confucian scholar who was greeting the officials outside the palace gate.
The aura that occasionally emitted from her body made him feel cold all over.
Just this alone made Pei Ju lose all thoughts of resisting.
However…
The doubt in his heart deepened.
"Your Majesty, have you opened the arsenal?" Pei Ju asked tentatively. If Your Majesty can give me some of the essence of the dragon vein, I will do my best until I die!”
These words were a huge risk.
However, Pei Ju's madness had been acting up more frequently these few days.
Most of the time, he had to tie himself up with iron chains as thick as his arm.
Pei Ju continued," I won't hide it from Your Majesty. I have a mental illness. When it acts up, it's as if I'm a different person. If I can't be cured, I'm afraid I won't be able to work for Your Majesty."”
Hearing Pei Ju's words.
Xia Ji was slightly startled.
An arsenal?
Dragon vein?
He did not know what these things were.
After all, his mother was killed when he was young, and he was not raised as a Renhuang.
There were many things that he could not touch at all.
In addition, after the death of the previous emperor, he was dragged here to ascend the throne in a hurry.
He wasn't too clear about the secrets of the Grand Xia Imperial Family.
However, Xia Ji remained calm.
He looked at Pei Ju and said," If you do your job obediently, I will naturally reward you. Now that you haven't done anything, it's not appropriate."”
"You will be in charge of the allocation of disaster relief funds. If you do a good job, I will reward you.”
Hearing this.
Pei Ju was overjoyed.
He was already prepared to provoke Xia Ji's disgust and live in seclusion in the forest after he escaped.
He didn't expect Xia Ji to be so understanding.
This warmed his heart.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely do this well!”
Pei Ju bowed respectfully.
After he left the hall.
Xia Ji summoned the human-cat duo and asked about the royal arsenal.
The human cat was also confused.
However, with the investigation of the East Hall guards, they would probably be able to obtain information very quickly.
