"Could it be that His Majesty has already made a decision on the candidate for the chief general?"

Hearing what Ba Yuehou said, someone soon discovered the abnormality, otherwise Ba Yuehou would not be so nervous to call everyone.

"Well, I heard that His Majesty seems to have a candidate, but I don't know who this candidate is yet." Ba Yuehou nodded.

"No matter what, we will definitely recommend Ba Yue to wait for you at the court meeting in the future. You are well-deserved in terms of strength and qualifications!"

Hearing the words, someone expressed his opinion immediately, and got everyone's support for a while.

Most of the people who can come here are from the Ba Yuehou faction, belonging to the old nobles in the imperial capital.

The so-called veteran nobles are the descendants of the group of heroes whose ancestors followed the Martial God to overthrow the old Zhou rule together.

You must know that there were nearly a hundred people from their ancestors who were enshrined as marquises, but now there are only more than 20 marquises here, and the rest are just earls and star masters.

This is also because many of the veteran nobles have lost their status or their titles have fallen. Of course, even so, these veteran nobles still occupy a great voice in the imperial capital.

And the Ba Yuehou in front of him is the most prestigious and powerful among the veteran nobles.

The first generation of his ancestor, Ba Yuehou, was even the most powerful general of the Martial God. Although the Ba Yuehou of today is not known how many generations.

But right now, Ba Yuehou is indeed the most powerful among the veteran nobles present, and his cultivation level is even at the eighth level. ok.

After all, many things are afraid of comparison.

There are so many nobles present, and there are even some who are only in the realm of domain masters, and there are only five in the realm of high positions. As for other rotten fish and shrimps, there are even more.

But so what, they are still dignitaries, aristocrats of the imperial capital!

Ba Yuehou seemed very satisfied with everyone's guarantee, and this was his purpose.

No matter who the Great Zhou Emperor is planning to choose now, he must make preparations in advance.

The veteran aristocrats are not having a good time now. Although the scenery has controlled many of the economic lifelines of the imperial capital, they have been unable to touch military power.

The veteran nobles have always been very upset about this, obviously they are the group of people who are most loyal to the empire.

At the same time, such a party is also called on the other side.

However, unlike the large scale here, there are only more than a dozen people gathered here, and each of them is extremely powerful and full of energy.

Any outsider would be able to recognize four of them here. They are indeed very famous in the imperial capital. They are the four generals of the Central Army and the four Marquises of Fenghuolin.

That is, Fengyunhou, Dihuohou, Zhenshanhou, and Linhaihou.

At this time, these four people are the leader, and the rest are more than ten senior generals under their command.

"Brother, this time His Majesty released this kind of news. It seems that this is really going to form a new main battle army, but I can't figure it out. Is it possible that our Central Army is not enough? Or is Your Majesty right? Am I worried?"

The Earth Huohou, who is in charge of the Ministry of Land, frowned and said worriedly.

"Where is His Majesty's mind beyond what we can guess? But this is indeed bad news, but since His Majesty has made up his mind on this matter, it is not something we can stop. Of course, we don't need to worry, even if we create a new one." The main battle legion cannot shake the status of our central legion.

What's more, we still have several His Highnesses supporting us, and Your Highnesses will speak well of us. "

Feng Yunhou, the boss of Fenghuolin, smiled indifferently.

"Of course I should express some dissatisfaction and I need to talk about it, otherwise His Majesty will think that we are holding back and playing tricks when we see that we are silent.

As for the candidate for the chief general of the main battle army, it is bound to become a seat that the courtiers compete with each other, and we will have a good show to watch. The new aristocrats, the old aristocrats, and some of the nobles in the palace, the three-party competition must be interesting, we will be safe and secure, and whichever side of them wants to secure the position of the new army leader will definitely win more and more supporters. "

Feng Yunhou is very disapproving of these dirty things between courts and courts. For him, martial arts and his own military power are more important. Besides, he can make money and resources as he wants.

Although His Majesty has distributed the resources of their legion in full for so many years, it is far from enough for Feng Yunhou and others. People are always greedy, and so are their demigods.

Not only do they need resources for their own cultivation, but the family heirs behind them also need resources. Who would dislike their lack of resources these days.

Hearing what the boss said, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief.

They are afraid that this matter will shake their status and power and affect their interests. Now it sounds that not only there is no loss, but also a lot of benefits.

In this way, the time for the court meeting ten days later will soon arrive.

Almost all the ministers who stayed in the imperial capital were present on this day, and even some ministers who did not need the dojo on weekdays came as scheduled today, and soon the entire main hall of the palace was filled with densely packed ministers. At first glance, there were countless ministers One hundred thousand people.

And these are some relatively high-ranking officials and lords in the imperial capital. If some low-level officials and low-level star-level nobles are counted, the number is probably close to millions.

That is to say, the main hall is extremely vast, and the interior has the effect of a folded space. Even if it doesn't look very large from the outside, the interior space is enough to accommodate millions of people to participate in the meeting at one time.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and for a while, the entire hall was full of chattering and noisy voices.

And as a figure gradually stepped into the main hall from the corridor in the center, everyone's voices were very consciously quieted down until a needle could be heard.

The person who came was none other than the chief executive of the empire, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Xin. He walked in the main hall in a consistent black robe, with a serious face, ignoring the dense crowd of people around him, and went straight to the tall and majestic seat in the main hall. Stand near the lower head of the chair.

It seems to be waiting for something.

Soon a stream of light appeared, and on the majestic and tall seat appeared a tall and stalwart figure sitting upright exuding the aura of an emperor. The terrible coercion of hundreds of officials.

It soon entered the normal process of the Great Zhou Dynasty Conference. Some ministers began to report some recent major events one by one. In fact, there were not many major events. After all, this court conference was held rather abruptly.

It is often held only once in hundreds or even thousands of years. After all, this is not a mortal dynasty, there are not so many trivial matters, and it is impossible for many people's sufferings to be raised to the court.

Unless some parties are fighting, or the parties are acting abnormally, there will be no discussion on anything easily.

Because the court meeting was less than a hundred years away from the last court meeting, the ministers soon had nothing to report. For a moment, everyone looked at the Great Zhou Emperor, who seemed to be tacitly waiting for what the Great Zhou Emperor would say next.

The Great Zhou Emperor didn't let everyone wait for a long time, he coughed lightly and said slowly in a majestic and grand voice: "The world has changed, and the situation in all parties is now in turmoil. The war broke out with the Chaowei Divine Kingdom not long ago in the southern border, and at one time it lost more than half of it. territory.

And the Northern Territory has even had some friction with the remnants of the old Zhou Dynasty who were driven out to hide on the edge of the universe. Recently, those guys seem to have become more and more restless.

In addition, there are many temples in the east that are moving frequently, all of which are spreading bad news to me.

I don't know what you think this is because of? "

As the Great Zhou Emperor said, his eyes were full of divine light and he looked around at the officials.

"Your Majesty, I deduced the secrets of heaven and learned a piece of news that the changes in the world may be related to this."

The officials were silent for a long time, when an old man with white hair in a robe embroidered with stars and stars stepped forward and bowed to each other. ,

"Oh? Guan Xinghou is a master of Tianji Dao, and even a commanding officer. If you have any opinions, why don't you tell me?"

The Great Zhou Emperor smiled and said.

The officials watched all this quietly, those who didn't know were a little confused, while those who knew were watching the show.

They know that this stargazer is probably a tool used by His Majesty to speak. Very familiar routine.

"The changes in all parties are related to the catastrophe of heaven and earth, such as the last catastrophe of heaven and earth, which directly led to the twilight of the gods and the fall of the ancient gods. Although I don't know the exact scale of this catastrophe, we must pay attention to it if we think about it. .”

Guan Xinghou seemed to be calculating something with one hand while talking, with a strong breath of magic stick.

As soon as Guan Xinghou's words came out, the ministers immediately seemed to explode, and all kinds of discussions immediately sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Some people were surprised, some didn't believe it, and some thought about it.

Of course, more people still think that stargazing is crazy.

Soon someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please punish the star-gazing waiter for deceiving the public with his gossip!"

"That's right! Watching the Stars is affecting the rule of the empire. As the minister of the empire, he is talking nonsense. If it gets out, it might cause a lot of turmoil!"

For a while, many people criticized Guan Xinghou, what kind of jokes, what catastrophes, don't they know how many businesses they have will be hit if this news spreads.

The Emperor of the Great Zhou was the old god, and when the officials gradually calmed down, the Emperor of the Great Zhou said softly: "Guan Xinghou is an eighth-level powerhouse in the Dao of Heavenly Secrets, and he is very familiar with the budget of the deduction. Know how to predict?"

"But Your Majesty, although there have been rumors of this great catastrophe before, the facts have proved that the catastrophe that those people said never happened. So the success this time is also false."

"Hmph! Do you guys think I'm joking with you? Originally, I wanted the stargazer to tell you. If that's the case, I'll tell you. This is what my father said! The catastrophe is coming!"

The Great Zhou Emperor's tone was majestic and deep, and the majestic voice shook everyone's soul. Everyone was stunned. Only the chief executive, Zhao Xin, still had a serious face that did not change at all.

"The catastrophe is approaching, the four major generals of the central army must practice rigorously, I don't need your explosive power to match the true gods, but at least you must have the courage to fight.

And so honorable! "

Speaking of this, the aura of the Great Zhou Emperor was even more oppressive, and the majestic sense of oppression quickly swept over all the nobles, causing the legs of these nobles who had long been ignorant of martial arts to tremble, and some of the weaker ones were directly crushed by this force. The momentum was captured and passed out on the spot.

"A group of drunks and rice bags!"

"Your Majesty, our ancestors shed blood and sweat for the empire, how can you say that about us?" The upright one suddenly became dissatisfied.

"Shut up!"

The Great Zhou Emperor glared at that person, and in an instant, he saw that the person's body turned red, and then his flesh and blood exploded. He actually killed this low-ranking third-rank nobleman on the spot with his martial arts will.

Now the nobles who were still somewhat dissatisfied were completely honest, they were afraid, they didn't know what kind of madness His Majesty had gone today, to kill the minister on the spot in such a disregard of the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

Not only Xungui, but other ministers were also shocked, but after the shock, they became more honest.

What are you kidding, how can you be tough at this time? But don't forget who has the final say in this empire, and their ability to stand here is entirely a matter of a word from the person above.

"Before, I turned a blind eye to everything I did to you, thinking that your ancestors had meritorious deeds, and allowing you to eat and drink well is the benefit of your ancestors' accumulated virtues. But this time and that time.

The catastrophe is approaching and no one can avoid it. Since you only know how to eat and wait to die, then spit out all the food you have eaten before, and I will give what you have gained to those who need it.

Xin Zhao! "

"The minister is here!" Xin Zhao hurriedly got out of the queue and knelt on the ground.

"Inspect the investigation department from now on, and then conduct an inspection of all officials and nobles. Those who commit crimes will have their homes confiscated, those who practice fraud will be confiscated, and those who occupy the occupied land will be confiscated! One more crime will be added, and all titles will be revoked!"

This is to go to the end!

For a while, there were bursts of discussions in the hall again, and it is really impossible to hold back now. If this is really strictly enforced, there will hardly be a clean ~lightnovelpub.net~ quiet in the room! "

With a low shout, like shaking the universe, it was Xin Zhao who spoke.

As soon as these words came out, many people were shocked, and for a while, needles could be heard in the hall.

"Furthermore, from now on, if you report your mistakes truthfully and hand over 90% of your total property, I will not blame you for the mistakes you made before, otherwise don't blame me for turning your face!"

The Great Zhou Emperor's words were straightforward, to the point of reaching out to grab money from the officials.

But at this moment, none of the officials dared to speak up. Some people made up their minds to deal with the family property when they went back.

Of course, some smart ones are relieved. In their opinion, some family wealth is nothing compared to a swipe to the end.

What's more, for some of their veteran aristocrats, family wealth is just a few figures. Their wealth accumulated over hundreds of millions of years has reached an unimaginable level.
