Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 103 Are you using me to practice your moves?!?
After paying his respects, Zhao Gao asked in a somewhat disrespectful tone before leaving:

"I still have one thing I don't understand. Logically speaking, the court was already in such a precarious situation before Your Majesty ascended the throne. Why didn't Master Ku He..."

Seeing that Concubine De had raised her head again and was looking at him with sharp eyes, Zhao Gao quickly stopped talking, lowered his head and bowed again, then turned around and left.
Bitter lotus?

Li An chuckled silently, his face full of disdain.

As for Ku He, it was originally thought that he had become pure-hearted and free from desires after practicing this damn Tianyi Dao, but now it seems that the opposite is true!

Ang Lee also thinks that it is normal to have some desires, and we should not think that having desires is a heinous crime.

This is normal, it is nature and the way of heaven.

What's wrong with having desires?
Desire is the way of heaven!

Without desire, you are no longer a human being, but a god. When you become a god, you have divinity, and if you are a human, you naturally have humanity. Just like when you eat delicious food, this is appetite; if you want to improve your skills, or you want to pursue the way of heaven, this is also desire. Why can't you admit that you have desires?
Does having desires scare you?

He thinks the more desire he has, the better!

How did the previous dynasty fall? It was because the Emperor of Wei was cruel and ruthless, and the ministers wanted to help but were powerless! Ku He wanted the ministers of Northern Qi to have a certain degree of control and supervision over the imperial power in terms of political views, but also to ensure that the imperial power of the Zhan family could be passed down forever without being threatened by outsiders.

He wanted to maintain this balance, but he was very old. After witnessing the ups and downs of the dynasty, he understood what was the most serious thing for a country. It was not corruption or foreign enemies, but the defects in the system. He could not grasp the situation well, so he could only use the force of the grandmaster to intimidate others. At the same time, he devoted all his energy to cultivate the saint Haitang Duoduo, hoping that she would inherit his position one day and protect Northern Qi.

However, it was precisely because of his selfishness that this operation turned Northern Qi into what it is today. This state is completely dependent on his military force!

In the original novel, after Ku He's death, if it weren't for the existence of Fan Xian and the royal family keeping the news of Ku He's death a secret, Northern Qi would have been in chaos long ago.

His ideas are old.

Just as Ang Lee said, those who cannot keep up with the times will naturally be eliminated!
When Li An becomes a master, if Ku He does not cooperate with him, then he will have only one way to go. A country can only have one voice, the correct voice!
What Li An has to do now, besides eliminating the last obstacle in the court, is to make his own identity legitimate - after all, he is still not qualified for the position of imperial concubine.

However, the biggest obstacle for Li An to ascend to the position of queen is the civil service group headed by the six ministries and university scholars.
They don't want a woman who can't be controlled to sit on the throne of queen!
The Queen Mother had weakened their power before, and now there was an even more ruthless Consort De. How could they succeed?
This is also the reason why they watched the previous fights with indifference.

But there were hundreds of court officials who were qualified to enter the palace. In addition to the children of aristocratic families, there were also some who came from humble backgrounds and entered the government through imperial examinations, or they were disciples of the wealthy families.

They are the ones that Ang Lee wants to win over.

As for the other military officers, Li An does not need to deliberately win them over or control them. He just needs to keep them neutral. Military generals can only obey the emperor's orders!

The new Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was the beginning of Li An's entry into military power.
After thinking about all this, Li An called for someone to bring out paper, ink, brush, and inkstone, and then he quietly wrote something on the table.
In this way, time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already seven days later.

These past few days, perhaps due to the little emperor's health, he wasn't feeling quite right in the way he treated people and things. Ang Lee also understood women very well. There were always days when they were stressed and had bad tempers. Some liked to scold their partners, while others liked to tell lies.

But considering that she was very beautiful, Li An endured it.

But today, although the little emperor is in good health, he is still troubled by the various memorials impeaching Concubine De in the court, which makes Li An, who is indirectly suffering from it, feel very angry!
Yes, the trend of impeaching Concubine De is gradually rising again.

Countless memorials were sent into the palace like snowflakes, but they did not cause any disturbance. Nothing happened around them, but the anger of the young emperor and Li An was getting stronger and stronger. The most important thing was that the war did not happen within a month of preparation as expected, but broke out ahead of time!
Emperor Qing seemed very confident and wanted to end the war before winter came and collect the reward for this time.
Various things came one after another, and there were so many things to deal with that even the Queen Mother asked for things less frequently in the past two days. Sometimes, she even claimed to be sick to avoid Li An, which made him very distressed.

【Random entry system! 】

【Comprehensive Strength: Ninth Rank】

[Current entry: Advanced Copy]

[Experience value: 100/100]

[Advanced copying terms are permanently fixed! Rewards: doubled comprehension and doubled root bone (pending)]

[Remaining update time for the entry: 5 hours]

Yes, the advanced copy entry had already been permanently fixed a few days ago.

Apart from the reward of doubling one's comprehension which can be claimed and accepted silently, the reward of doubling one's bone structure will cause some commotion.

However, today is the time to receive it.

——Zhao Gao has figured out Prime Minister Jin Weixian’s habits in the past few days and has given him his whereabouts tonight!

Enlightenment is illusory. It is extremely helpful for understanding techniques or practicing martial arts, but it is also very difficult to grow on your own.

As for the difference between the previous small improvement in qualifications and the current root bones, Li An understood it this way: the level of qualifications represents a person's potential, while the strength of the root bones determines the speed of realization, and can speed up the absorption and adaptation to external free nuclear radiation.

'receive! '

Along with a soft groan in the heart, a crackling sound came from the body at the right time.

This is the system transforming Li An.
The strange feeling coming from the meridians all over his body made Li An let out a long and slow whistle! Fortunately, Zhao Gao had already made arrangements, and there were no other outsiders around the Yong'an Palace, which allowed Li An to prepare to leave the palace with peace of mind.

'It's not like an illusion, the effect is immediate.'

The true Qi in his body circulated along the route of the exercise. After just one small cycle, Li An suddenly felt as if his whole body had been reborn, refreshed, as if even his body had become a lot lighter and full of energy.

Li An got in the mood, picked up the sword on the table and jumped out of the bedroom.

This sword was obtained from the palace treasury. It is not known for its sharpness, but the moment you hold it, you will feel that it is several times heavier than an ordinary sword.

He imagined an imaginary enemy in his mind, and did not use the martial arts copied from Langtao or Haitang Duoduo. Instead, he swung his sword "randomly", and the blade slashed at the "figure". However, the "figure" looked leisurely.

This is the 'chess sword technique' that I created!
Needless to say, the inspiration comes from Ang Lee's own profound chess skills!

Li An's figure was flying in the garden, and the long sword in his hand had gradually lost its original appearance. However, no matter how he moved, he could not touch even a corner of the imaginary figure!
This was an imaginary enemy. Long before Ang Lee could think of the next attack route in his mind, the opponent seemed to be able to sense it in advance and responded before Ang Lee.

Schrodinger's cat?
It's like playing chess with yourself. Every time you make a move, you, the 'enemy', can know your thoughts and analyze them.

I ask, how can one win if one attacks oneself in this way?

Of course, if one can see through the true opponent, this sword technique will be invincible!
Finally, after countless attempts to attack the "figure", he finally got a chance to kill: Li An's body showed an irregular and strange posture, and he turned over and stabbed the "figure" with his sword, and suddenly hit the "figure" under the neck. Unexpectedly, just when the sword was about to hit, the opponent flicked his finger and the tip of the sword was deflected. Li An was involuntarily "shocked" and retreated.
This trait of 'multitasking' is truly amazing!

There is a warlike gene hidden in every man's heart. Li An was not discouraged. He growled and turned around to attack again.

With a flip of his wrist, the sword light slanted, and sword shadows suddenly filled the sky, blocking the 'figure's' retreat on the left and right!
But no matter how dense the sword net was, the opponent didn't bother at all and kept moving left and right in the sword net. For a while, Li An couldn't do anything to the opponent.

Perhaps he attacked too hastily, Li An stomped his foot on the ground and jumped up, using all his advantages from top to bottom, mobilizing all the strength in his body, and flew through the air with his sword, piercing through all the retreat routes of his opponent!
The 'figure' finally seemed to get serious, slowly waving his right hand and making a move.

The sword in his hand has already appeared, turning into an invisible object. With one move of the sword, Li An's fierce and unmatched sword force was dissolved into an invisible object by the figure, and the clever force took advantage of the situation. Li An's long sword flew out of his hand and shot towards the huge rock beside him. With a loud bang, the huge rock shattered and the rocks flew!
The 'figure' disappeared, and Li An was breathing heavily, looking a little embarrassed.

It seems that I am really weak!
But that's not right! His comprehension has obviously doubled, and coupled with his own superb chess skills, his 'swordplay' shouldn't be so bad.
If anyone ever says that it's easy to defeat me again, Ang Lee will slap that person in the face!
It’s not that Li An doesn’t want to use Haitang Duoduo and Langtao’s martial arts.

One is that there is no way to tell the way out and it is not easy to hide; the second is that it is not suitable for Langtao, who uses a knife, with large opening and closing movements, and has a chain to make up for the routine. Unless he also has such a weapon, his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced; and Haitang Duoduo uses double axes, and with her height and body shape, she has already formed her own attack habits.

None of these are suitable for Ang Lee.

You can learn from others, but in the end, the martial arts that suit you are the strongest martial arts.
After relaxing for a while, Li An returned to his bedroom, washed off the dust on his body in a wooden barrel that had been prepared long ago, changed into men's night clothes, covered himself with a black cloth, and disappeared in this small space.

August 5th, night.

Bailu, the dragon is in the north, everything is unfavorable.

Li An walked on the deserted route and left the palace. He wanted to find the idiot who still had his head on his neck - the most difficult thing in the world is not fighting and strategizing, but choosing.

Helplessly, Jin Weixian chose the latter.

After tonight, Li An will let the Great Qi enter - the Defei moment!
"The royal family is unkind and allows Concubine De to force her like this, so don't blame me for being unjust!"

Having held a high position for many years, Jin Weixian, who had no cultivation, was intimidating without even getting angry. At this time, Li An's threat deepened, and he couldn't help but get furious!

He stood up and shouted loudly, with murderous intent in his heart.

"As long as I leak military intelligence to the Qing army, I guarantee that this little emperor will regret it and suffer a major defeat, which will also put the Great Qi in danger of extinction!" As he spoke, Jin Weixian seemed still unsatisfied. He waved his arm and swept the teacup on the table to the ground, smashing it to pieces!

However, having said that, his position as prime minister is the prime minister of Northern Qi. If Northern Qi is destroyed, he will be nothing, and he himself is also at risk of being killed by Ku He.

"Why must Prime Minister do this?"

The strange man who had been beside Zhou Jing said with interest, "It's just a little surveillance, it's nothing. Even if the other party is unscrupulous, who else can break through the guards of me and that person except the Saint Girl and Lang Tao?"

He smiled lightly, without any restraint in front of the prime minister of a country, "What's more, if Haitang Duoduo and Langtao fight openly, it will be even more troublesome for them!"

Perhaps what the man with the strange face said made sense, and Jin Weixian gradually calmed down.

The reason why he was so angry before was just because the other party's all-weather surveillance was annoying. Jin Weixian was about to say something, but suddenly he saw the master surnamed Jiang raised his arm, signaling silence.
"what happened?"

“Something feels wrong!”

In just a moment, a hint of smoke came into the house.

这 是
"Fire! Fire!"

"Someone set the fire! Someone is deliberately setting the fire!"

"Li An'er!"

Jin Weixian gritted his teeth and growled. He turned around and asked the man surnamed Jiang in a deep voice, "Didn't Lord Jiang say that the other party wouldn't take action?"

Although I believe in my own judgment, I also know that although there are still ninth-grade masters in Shangjing City, they will not be used by the royal family.
Jiang Gongfeng acted decisively, grabbed Jin Weixian's arm and rushed out.

The yard is on fire. No matter who the opponent is, he must leave the room first!
Although open areas are not conducive to guarding, it will also make it more difficult for the other party to assassinate the prime minister without revealing his identity.
The fire is raging!

Fast, too fast. In just a few breaths, the whole yard was ablaze with flames everywhere. The servants were busy running around with buckets of water to put out the fire.

Jiang Gongsheng was sure that there was no one else within a ten-meter radius around the two of them, but the more so, the more cautious he became.

——The other party would not just set a fire or simply intimidate people!
Suddenly, Jin Weixian shouted to the surroundings: "Cowardly rats! Do you dare to show yourself?"

In such a critical moment, the Prime Minister can still do this, he is still a man of character, Jiang Gongsheng thought to himself.

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Prime Minister, why don't we retreat first and make plans after we leave this place?" Jiang Gongfeng gave a suggestion while being alert to his surroundings.

Jin Weixian shook his head slowly.

"Using fire to force me out, this is what the arsonist intended. We can't leave!"

Seeing the other party's firm attitude, Jiang Gongfeng did not force it.

Without feeling panic in his heart, he also shouted towards the void, "Are you here on the orders of Concubine De? Do you have the courage to fight me alone?"

"Since you have invited me, how can I not accompany you?"

A nimble man in black slowly appeared on a big tree in the yard, his bright and sharp eyes staring straight at the two of them, never moving away for a moment.

His tone was full of sarcasm. He waved the sword in his hand and said, "Your Excellency may have guessed wrong about this fire. It was not intended to force you to move. The place where you will die is right here."

"Jin Weixian, you set a big fire in the palace, and now I will set a big fire in return, and we will be even now."

"Now that the personal vendetta is settled, it's time to get down to business!"

The person who came had bad intentions and spoke wildly.

Jiang Gongsheng was already on high alert.

He was wondering why the opponent didn't attack by surprise, but showed up so brazenly, which was really inconsistent with the behavior of an assassin. He exuded momentum, and he and his opponent gathered strength from bottom to top. The true energy in his body circulated endlessly, wildly flying, distorting the air in the space.

As for Li Ang, he fell down steadily, motionless as a mountain.

The difference in the true qi properties of the two people just foreshadows their completely different personalities!

'Boom! '

The two men disappeared from sight at the same time, and there was a loud explosion in the air. It turned out that they had already fought!
The impact of the fight between the two men caused the surrounding fire to suddenly suppress itself and blow wildly outwards. Two breaths later, it grew even stronger. Seeing that the situation was not good, some servants in the yard had already fled.

A few hundred yuan a month, what's the point of playing with your life?
Moisten it.

At this moment, the two men realized that the other's weapons were extraordinary, one was strange and hard to find, and the other was unusually heavy!
"Look at this skill, the person coming here must be an expert!"

Without hesitation, Jiang Gongsheng rushed forward, and with an inertia pounce, he used all his strength to chop Li An with the iron axe in his hand! As the true energy shot out, there was a faint chill.

Although Li Ang was not panicking when facing an enemy for the first time, he was still cautious in his heart. He added some strength in his hands and used three levels of true Qi to parry, shaking the man in front of him so much that his body shook violently.

At the same time, a question inevitably arose in my heart:
Why is the opponent so weak?

'Distractions during battle are a taboo.' He had never thought that the Dark Night Assassin would look down on him so much. Jiang Gongsheng's arms were throbbing with veins, and the iron axe burst out with true energy, slashing directly at Li An's mask. Seeing that the blade was about to shatter Li An's face, he screamed: "Hide your head and show your tail! Show me your true self!"

"Sword Art - Sword Stars!"

He was the last to come but the first to arrive. The true energy entered his eyes and filled his meridians. Under the moonlight, Li Ang's eyes became brighter and brighter.

It happened so quickly that the silver sword in his hand stabbed at the man's wrist like a lightsaber. The sword body had not yet arrived, but the sword energy that caused tearing pain had already arrived!

Jiang Gongfeng's clothes at his wrist had been pierced through, and he was anxious, knowing that he would have to go to hell before he could hit the assassin. He immediately used his Qinggong to retreat, and fortunately, the opponent's sword did not penetrate deeply, and his wrist was only injured.

He was feeling relieved and happy, but he didn't expect that he was happy too early.

Li Ang's sword follows him like a shadow, as if he is playing chess. He has already thought out the future sword paths, making his opponent extremely uncomfortable!
The pieces of cloth and clothes were flying everywhere, which showed that Jiang Gongfeng was in a critical situation at the moment.

retreat!

Keep retreating!

Using all his old moves and mustering up his remaining courage, Jiang Gongfeng exchanged two more moves with the enemy. For a moment, he felt that the sword in the opponent's hand was unusually heavy, and he didn't know what material it was made of.

If you continue like this, you will have to die here today!
It was obvious that the assassin in front of him had the opportunity to seriously injure him with one blow, but why did he always pause at the critical moment?

Rage surged, and a slight pain came from his body. He shouted with blood gushing out of his mouth:
"You're using me to practice your moves!?"
