Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 1000 Power
In the elegantly decorated room, the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, wearing a dragon robe, sat on the main seat, and Zhou Li sat on his head.

Kidding.

Zhou Li sat on the main seat and Tang Wan sat beside her.

“I’m not used to it…”

Sitting on the high chair, Zhou Li scratched his head, feeling a little strange, "What's the point of this chair being so high?"

"The point is to make you look tall."

Glancing at Zhou Li unhappily, the King of Han sat across from Zhou Li, carrying two jugs of wine. He glanced at the man who was giving orders to his servants not far away, and whispered to Zhou Li:
"Did you see that boy? He's the most trusted confidant of my brother's confidants, even more trusted than me."

"Yu Qian...very normal."

Zhou Li was not surprised by this. He did not know much about Ming history, but he had certainly heard of Yu Qian's great name. The defense of the capital turned the tide, and the Ming Dynasty was praised by the world. Such a genius was not greedy or corrupt, and did not go along with the secular world. He was a pillar of the Ming Dynasty that was rarely seen in the history.

It was only natural for such a person to become the emperor's confidant. If Yu Qian was not the emperor's confidant, Zhou Li would have to consider whether the emperor was trustworthy.

Soon, Yu Qian finished talking to the servant outside. Perhaps it was a trait that all people who achieved great things had. People like Yu Qian were always neither humble nor arrogant when facing those in higher positions, and amiable when facing those in lower positions. When facing the trembling servant, Yu Qian spoke in a very gentle tone, but he also used an imperative tone to let the other party know what to do. Soon, the servant led the others out of the mansion and guarded the various throats to prevent outsiders from entering and leaving.

After closing the door, Yu Qian turned around and looked at the two people who were whispering behind him. He did not show any displeasure, but asked jokingly, "You two are talking in a low voice, are you afraid of disturbing the birds in the house?"

"Very literary."

The King of Han snorted coldly, crossed his arms and said, "My humble abode is honored by your presence, Master Yu. How shameless of you to speak so arrogantly."

Ignoring the King of Han's cultural education, Yu Qian bowed to the King of Han, walked up to Zhou Li, clasped his hands together, bowed to him, and then said solemnly:

"Mr. Zhou, nice to meet you."

Zhou Li looked at Yu Qian in front of him, smiled, bowed and said, "Master Yu, nice to meet you."

"Haven't you two met before?"

The King of Han sat astride the table and said carelessly, "Come, have a drink."

Throwing a wine glass to Yu Qian, the King of Han pointed at Zhou Li and said to Yu Qian: "This guy is much smarter than you think. Don't be fooled by his appearance."

"Mr. Zhou and I are acquaintances."

Yu Qian smiled.

Zhou Li and Yu Qian first met during the Fox Demon Rebellion. Yu Qian, disguised as Yu Shao, sneaked into the building and teamed up with Zhou Li to break the dragon vein situation. Then, Yu Qian gave Zhou Li the Golden Order and handed over the command of Yebushou, Jinyiwei and Bad People to Zhou Li.

At that time, Zhou Li knew that he would meet Yu Qian again sooner or later.

"I just didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances..."

Zhou Li was a little emotional. He had never thought that he would meet Yu Qian in this situation. The first time they met, Yu Qian gave him a gold medal. The next time they met, he became Yu Qian's immediate superior.

"Yes."

Yu Qian smiled, sat next to Zhou Li, picked up the wine pot and poured four cups of wine. He first handed a cup to the King of Han, then handed a cup to Zhou Li and Tang Wan, and said, "It is a great honor to meet you today."

"We are not alone."

After raising his glass to toast Zhou Li, Yu Qian drank the wine in the glass. Seeing this, the King of Han said disdainfully: "Oh, we are not alone again, as if you are the most noble in the court."

"Don't blame the King of Han." Yu Qian's eyes fell on the King of Han and he said with a smile, "The King of Han also has his moments of misbehavior on the battlefield, let alone a mere guard like me?"

This sentence made the King of Han very anxious, but he couldn't say anything.

What Yu Qian said was that when the King of Han rebelled, Yu Qian was ordered to attack him. In less than three days, he captured the King of Han in front of the army. At first, the King of Han was not convinced and spoke rudely to the Crown Prince at that time. Then Yu Qian stepped forward and angrily accused the King of Han of his seven major sins. The King of Han was immediately terrified and bowed his head in silence.

No wonder the King of Han was anxious.

"I was originally planning to have a good chat with Master Zhou, but now is not a good time. We should discuss business first."

With a serious look on his face, the Great Ming Sun said directly:

"Mr. Zhou, it is as difficult as climbing to heaven to overthrow the prime minister."

"I've climbed to the top of Mount Longhu, which is heaven."

Zhou Li smiled and said, "Tang Wan has also been there."

"The top three is also the top."

Tang Wan said seriously.

"Since you have such aspirations, I won't say any more discouraging words."

As expected, Yu Qian smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, do you know how many students, former officials, relatives and friends the prime minister has?"

"Seventy percent of the court?"

Zhou Li asked.

"Ninety-nine."

Yu Qian said directly: "There are 47,632 civil and military officials in the court, of which 39 are qualified to attend the morning court. Of these 39, 36 are under the command of the prime minister. The censors, officials below the sixth rank, and other officials are all students and former officials of these 36 people. Therefore, there are only three people in the court who belong to the emperor."

"There are three more."

Zhou Li was happy, "Not bad, the whole army was not wiped out. Lord Yu, can you tell me who these three people are?"

"Besides me, the other two are Yao Heng and Yang Shiqi."

At this point, Yu Qian sighed and said, "Yao Heng's father is the evil monk Yao Guangxiao. Others say that Yao Heng is an orphan picked up by Yao Guangxiao in a temple. He was born with a bad luck, so even his immortal father could be killed. But Your Majesty ignored these rumors and accepted him as the Prince's Guardian in an examination. Since then, Yao Heng has been following Your Majesty wholeheartedly."

"Yang Shiqi was the chief minister of the cabinet, outspoken and courageous, and was in charge of compiling the Shilu of Emperor Taizong."

After a pause, Yu Qian said with some regret: "There were two other Yang family elders in the previous cabinet, Yang Rong and Yang Pu. It's a pity that these two were framed by the prime minister, and in the end... Alas."

"Two tough guys."

The King of Han also spoke highly of these two people, "They are unwilling to flatter and compromise, and they don't understand the principle that being too firm will lead to failure. If the Three Yangs' Cabinet could be preserved, the Prime Minister would not be so arrogant. What a pity."

"The Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, the Junior Tutor of the Crown Prince, His Majesty the King of Zhao..."

Zhou Li calculated the forces on his side. After a moment, he looked up in astonishment and asked:
"Wait a minute, where's the prince?"

"Isn't the prince a human being?"
