I really became a king.

Chapter 491 The Helplessness of the Emperor of Dali

The waves subsided, the Dali Dynasty returned to peace again, and the entire Manghuang Continent also entered a period of peace.

However, many well-informed people know that the Emperor of Dali, Jiang Zhenyi, has not been in a good mood recently, and it can even be said that it is very bad.

Of course, Queen Ye Xinmei of Dali was in an even worse mood.

In this power struggle, the Ye family of Bailing was the biggest loser. The peripheral power and wealth accumulated over the years were completely divided up, completely damaging their bones.

Ye Xinmei originally wanted to take this opportunity to completely wipe out the Prince Yi's Mansion in Xijiang. Even if he failed to do so, he would use the Dali army to bite back a piece of meat for the Ye family in Bailing.

She was sure that although the Dali Emperor Jiang Zhenyi had revealed to the outside world that he was eager to resolve the issue peacefully, he would even make some concessions.

But she knew it was all an illusion.

But no one expected that the Ten Great Patriarchs of Dali, who had been living in seclusion in the ancestral land of Dali, would actually come out to interfere.

Especially after the Sixth Patriarch of Dali sent back the news from Humen Pass, the Ten Patriarchs of Dali came forward together to put pressure on Jiang Zhenyi, making the Western Xinjiang Yiwang Mansion the biggest winner.

"Don't they always mention the 'Da Li Ancestor's Teachings'? What is this? They are openly interfering in Da Li's government!"

Ye Xinmei stood in front of Jiang Zhenyi with a gloomy expression.

Jiang Zhenyi sat there quietly, ignoring Ye Xinmei's words. After a long time, he sighed and said, "You shouldn't have killed her, otherwise things wouldn't have come to this."

Ye Xinmei sneered. After being married for so many years, he knew the man in front of him too well.

He is very scheming and often likes to deceive himself.

Sometimes he wondered how the kingdom of Dali came to be his. Perhaps he was just good at superficial work...

"Don't you think it's too late to say this now?"

"I'm tired. In the future, you should stop messing with Prince Yi's Mansion and focus on how to subdue the secular sects for our use."

After Jiang Zhenyi finished speaking, he stood up and walked into his own martial arts arena with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

As soon as he entered the martial arts arena, Jiang Zhenyi's calm expression disappeared and he looked a little ferocious.

He also wanted to question the Ten Ancestors of Dali as to why they openly violated their ancestral teachings and interfered in Dali's government.

However, faced with ten ancestors who had highly consistent attitudes, he did not dare to question openly and could only surrender.

Because he understood that the Dali Dynasty could not do without the support of these ancestors, otherwise, it would surely be torn to pieces by those ambitious people.

The power he controlled alone was not enough to resist.

"Has he really reached the end of his rope?" Jiang Zhenyi murmured softly.

This time, the ancestors of the ancestral land of Dali came out together and stood firmly on the side of Prince Yi's Mansion. The explanation they gave was: the long-browed ancestor, who was like a stabilizing force in the Dali royal family, had exhausted his lifespan and was at the end of his life!

Ancestor Changmei is the most powerful among the ten ancestors of Dali. His cultivation is unfathomable and it is said that he has already stepped half a step into the ninth realm.

The reason why all the forces in the Manghuang Continent, including the two holy places, are extremely wary of the Dali Dynasty is because of this long-browed ancestor.

In the past few years, there have been rumors that this long-browed ancestor is nearing the end of his life and has gone into seclusion.

The secular sects have been trying to find out the truth of this news, but the Dali ancestral land has been keeping the news secret, and even Jiang Zhenyi doesn't know whether it is true or not. But a few days ago, several ancestors came out from the ancestral land and said that the Changmei ancestor has reached the point of exhaustion, and the Dali Dynasty must not be in chaos at this time.

They joined forces to put pressure on him to make concessions to Prince Yi's Palace.

Jiang Zhenyi was somewhat doubtful at the time, but faced with the ancestor of the ancestral land who had a highly consistent attitude, there was no room for negotiation and he could only agree.

The three ancestors who had been secretly supporting him over the years did not come out to speak for him this time.

Jiang Zhenyi knew that the root of all this was the long-browed ancestor.

With the presence of the Long-browed Ancestor, he only needs to show up. Even if civil strife breaks out in the Dali Dynasty, ambitious people such as the secular sects will be wary and will not intervene rashly.

But if the life span of the Long Eyebrow Patriarch is really over, once Dali is in civil strife, it will immediately turn into a gluttonous feast on the vast continent.

Therefore, despite his reluctance, Jiang Zhenyi still compromised, and only then was the decree issued to place the Heshuo and Chihan areas under the jurisdiction of Prince Yi's Palace.

Jiang Zhenyi was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. Without the support of his ancestral land, he had no strength to fight against those ambitious people.

Over the years, he has recruited several powerful martial artists under his command, but none of them has the deterrent power like the Changmei Patriarch, and they are simply unable to intimidate the secular sects.

However, this competition was not without gain. Prince Yi personally made a promise to the ancestors of the Dali ancestral land:

Unless the survival of the Dali Dynasty comes to a critical moment, the troops of Prince Yi's Mansion are not allowed to cross the Heshuo Prefecture.

Moreover, the ancestors of the ancestral land also tried it out and were sure that Jiang Yi did not know about the bloodline of the Fourteenth Master, and naturally he did not know about the so-called "Da Li Returns Power".

In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, several Dali ancestors went to the Manghuang Continent and met some reclusive old people.

These old men were the ones who had followed the Fourteenth Master back then, and the result made the ancestors very satisfied.

"Da Li returns power" has always been a sword hanging over Jiang Zhenyi's head, making him sleepless and uneasy. Now with the personal endorsement of the ancestor of the ancestral land, he is half relieved.

As for the Northern Frontier... Jiang Zhenyi sneered. He believed that the ancestors of the ancestral land were more anxious than him about the Northern Frontier, so he didn't need to worry about it.

The Northern Frontier Mu Clan is not the Prince Yi's Mansion, and the ancestors will not be soft-hearted. It may even become the flashpoint of the conflict between the ancestors of the ancestral land and the Prince Yi's Mansion.

As for Jiang Yi, after Mao Wenhuan of the Military Office of the Divine Strategy Palace led an army of 100,000 to station in Heshuo, he returned to Kongtong Mountain with 3,000 [Youfeng Taoist Soldiers] and 100,000 personal troops.

The troops of Prince Yi's palace returned to their respective garrisons, and the royal army camp once again took over the defense of the East and West Demon Realm Passes.

As for the three thousand [Youfeng Taoist Soldiers], they drove directly into the completely enclosed mysterious military camp at the foot of Kongtong Mountain.

This greatly disappointed the generals who wanted to get the [Youfeng Taoist Soldiers]. Even if they could not get the real Youfeng Cavalry, it would be fine if they could get some mounts and weapons.

But obviously Jiang Yi didn't even give them a chance to speak.

Jiang Yi also paid great attention to the drought-stricken land that runs through the north and south of the Dali Dynasty. However, he knew that he had to grasp the degree. If there were too many troops stationed, it would stimulate the Dali Imperial Capital.

"Who do you think should be sent to the drought-stricken area?" Jiang Yi had no idea for a moment and could not help but ask Tian Buyi.

Jiang Yi thinks highly of Tian Buyi. Based on his memories from his previous life, he is not only a handsome and talented man, but also has great opportunities.

Otherwise, he would not have grown into a great military leader in the Dali military in his previous life, and his cultivation would have reached the ninth level of martial arts, making him one of the strongest martial artists.
