"Your Majesty! Imperial Censor Wang is already waiting outside the hall!"
"Announce!"
The palace maids helped Qin Tian change his clothes!
At this moment, he was wearing a black dragon robe.
He had a flat crown on his head!
A simple and unadorned sword hung at his waist.
"Your humble subject Wang Zhan greets Your Majesty!"
A moment later, Wang Zhan, who was dressed in heavy court clothes, walked in and kowtowed respectfully.
"Minister Wang, please forgive me!"
Qin Tian also familiarized himself with the etiquette of monarch and subject very quickly. Waving his sleeve, the palace maids tactfully withdrew from the main hall!
Wang Zhan raised his head.
He looked at Qin Tian.
Surprise flashed in his eyes.
Now, Qin Tian's attire appeared solemn and heavy. Holding the sword hilt in his hand, he actually carried a bit of dominance, slightly different from the past.
And…
This palace was different from the past!
It actually gave him a strong sense of oppression and danger!
It was as if something was staring at him.
It made his hair stand on end!
One had to know that although he was in the royal court, he had also cultivated to the fourth level of True Element Realm. In the sect, he might not be very powerful, but in the empire, he was a true expert.
It made him feel the pressure. It could be seen how strange this change was!
However, Wang Zhan was also a steady old Taoist. His expression did not change as he asked," May I know why Your Majesty summoned me?”
Qin Tian walked forward and sized up Wang Zhan.
He was tall and sturdy!
He was steady and fierce!
Although he was in his forties or fifties, his hair was graying!
His eyes and face were filled with the common people!
After all, once one reached the True Energy Realm, their lifespan and blood essence would increase greatly. They shouldn't be so old!
However, Qin Tian understood that this was because of the Great Qin Empire!
Wang Zhan's existence restrained the other officials of the court to a certain extent, sharing the pressure on Qin Tian. Many heavy burdens and pressures were carried on his shoulders, making him unable to breathe.
Day after day, even a True Element Boundary cultivator would not be able to withstand it!
This old minister is too tired!
After a long time.
Qin Tiancai said slowly," Wang Qing! Tell me, who else can I trust in this court?”
When Wang Zhan heard that, his pupils were filled with surprise!
He immediately cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty! This old minister is loyal to Your Majesty and has no second thoughts!”
"Zhen knows!"
Qin Tian held the Power Sword in his hand and silently turned to look at the map of the empire on the palace wall. His gaze was sharp as he said," That's why I threw this question to you! Tell me who I can trust! I feel that I have to do something. Otherwise, this 800-year-old empire will really collapse in my hands.”
"Your Majesty!"
Wang Zhan's pupils constricted, and his expression was filled with disbelief.
It turned out that His Majesty had long seen through the sickness of the empire and understood the situation!
"Speak!"
Qin Tian said.
Wang Zhan hesitated.
He wanted to open his mouth several times.
But the words were stuck in his throat.
His pale eyes were filled with unwillingness and grief.
At this moment, he really wanted to tell Qin Tian that it was all too late!
Now, the empire was beyond cure and beyond redemption.
They had struggled to maintain it because they wanted to live and die with this empire!
Dealing with these people in the Imperial Court had already exhausted his energy.
Not to mention, the people outside the court were ravaged by bandits, and the vassal kings had their own troops.
The sects were also gradually nibbling away at every bit of value in the empire.
He was too insignificant.
He could not help His Majesty at all.
He was indignant, but he was even more desperate.
Even those who maintained the dignity of the royal family were in despair. They could only struggle at death's door, waiting for the day when the Empire Building collapsed and they would be annihilated in the sands of history.
He really wanted to tell Qin Tian this fact.
He wanted to know who could support this empire.
However, reality was even scarier than the edge of a blade. Not only did it hurt them, but it also made them more miserable!
"What does Your Majesty plan to do?"
Wang Zhan suppressed the emotions in his heart and asked.
He did not want to strike a blow to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian turned around and said," You will know in the future! Now, I only want to know who I can trust and who stands on the side of the Imperial Family.”
Wang Zhan fell silent for a moment and didn't hide anything." Apart from my Wang family and Bai family, there's also Senior Minister Li Xuan, Guard Captain Yan Qing, and Imperial City's Left General Zhao Qi!”
" Senior Minister Li Xuan was on bad terms with the Prime Minister and Grand Commandant, so he was roped in by us. Guard Commander Yan Qing was once indebted to the royal family, and with the Bai family's roping in, he is on our side.”
……
Wang Zhan said some names!
In the court.
There were four factions.
The royalists led by the Bai and Wang Clans!
The Prime Minister Faction led by Prime Minister Ouyang Xiong.
The military faction led by Grand Marshal Chen Qing.
And sent by the national teacher.
The Imperial Advisor of the Great Qin Empire was the Spirit Stream Sect's Hall Elder, Zheng Xiao. He was in the Soul Ascension stage, and had lived for two hundred years. He was an immortal among the people of the Great Qin Empire!
Other than him.
There were also a few Spirit Stream Sect disciples who served him, most of whom were in the True Element Realm!
As for the 12 Sea Transformation Realm consecrators, they were purely hired by spending the empire's resources to intimidate the crowd. They were good-looking but useless. Once the empire cut off their resources, they would leave without hesitation.
Qin Tian fell into deep thought.
He pondered for a long time!
Just then, he said," Wang Qing! I'll give you a mission now!"
"Help me pacify these people and let them wait in peace!”
"At the same time, select and train a portion of officials. It would be best if they were directly selected from outside the Imperial Court and kept to wait for Zhen's decree.”
……
Wang Zhan was puzzled. Even if he had been in politics for so many years and was used to seeing all kinds of schemes, he also could not figure out what Qin Tian wanted to do.!
Could it be that they really wanted to suppress the other sects by strengthening their forces?
This might backfire!
If he forced those sects into a corner, they would cause even more trouble and increase the crisis of the empire!
Thinking of this, Wang Zhan reminded," Your Majesty! Are you planning to knock down those sects? Those factions controlled the military and most of the court officials. Once they were forced into a corner, they might disobey their superiors.”
"Moreover, once the state preceptor is alerted, the consequences will be even more serious!”
Qin Tian sneered in his heart!
He had seen the lessons of China's 5,000 years of history, but he still did not understand these things.
As for the state preceptor?
A Soul Refinement Realm expert!
Then let's wait and see!
The higher one stood, the more miserable one would be when they died!
Then, Qin Tian said," Minister Wang, you don't have to worry about these things. Just do what I've instructed you to do! You can leave first!"
Wang Zhan frowned.
Just as he was preparing to persuade, lest Qin Tian did not differentiate the severity and stirred up trouble!
What Qin Tian was calculating, he also did not tell him.
This made him a little passive.
But Qin Tian had already spoken.
He didn't say anything else and turned to leave.
He had to discuss these matters with the Bai family.
Just as Wang Zhan stepped out of the hall.
A dignified and domineering voice sounded behind him.
"Elder Wang!"
"Please give me some time!"
"I will sweep away the 800 years of palace frost and wind!”
……
Wang Zhan paused.
He turned to look at the hall.
In the darkness, the figure in the black dragon robe and the flat imperial hat made him feel a dignified existence for the first time!
"Your Majesty, if you have the ability, I won't have any regrets even if I die!”
Wang Zhan sighed in his heart and did not have much hope.
This was because he knew how much the Great Qin Empire had fallen!
Wang Zhan left.
Qin Tian would not explain.
Reading some memorials.
Most of them were bandits from various counties.
They only sent troops to fight when they needed money and resources!
The money was given, how much was used on raiding the bandits, Qin Tian could imagine.
These people had never thought of exterminating the bandits. They were just looking for an excuse to ask for money and then take it into their own pockets.
If he did not use the cruelest punishment to skin these treacherous officials, Qin Tian would not let him off either!
Other than that.
Two things made Qin Tian pay special attention.
The first was the Empress Ceremony.
She wanted to marry an empress for him.
This Empress was the daughter of the Nangong Nobles, Nangong Hongyan!
The celebration was supposed to be completed in the next few days!
But Qin Tian was lying on the bed in anger, so he put it aside.
Nangong Hongyan was a peerless talented woman with peerless beauty. She was given the reputation of being the daughter of the Great Qin Dynasty!
Another item.
There were bandits wreaking havoc around the Imperial City.
There were even cultivators among the bandits!
This made Qin Tian smell a trace of abnormality.
"The Imperial City has the Imperial Advisor Zheng Xiao overseeing it, yet there are actually bandits who dare to offend it. These bandits probably have a powerful background, and I wonder who arranged it!”
Qin Tian sneered.
In order to get the empire to allocate military funds, these people would really do anything!
Just nice, I'll start with you guys!
Ying Zheng stood up, walked out of his bedroom, and headed towards the palace wall.
He stood at the highest point and looked down at the Imperial City. His gaze was like a blade.
"Get rid of those bandits and use the cruelest method to cut them into pieces!”
"Find out what I want to know!"
"Zhen will wait here!"
……
He left behind two light and shadow attribute soldiers to protect him, and the rest left.
There were no traces or signs!
Only Qin Tian could sense it!
The light and shadow attribute troops were indeed abnormally strong, but they needed to test how powerful they were!
