I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 155 People who were delayed by the Ji sisters! (Please subscribe and vote)
As the Minister of Justice, Pang Jin was not very familiar with military affairs.

But he was able to enter the court, had many channels of information, and had seen a lot of the world, so he must have some understanding of his own country.

The emperors of recent generations cannot be said to have worked hard to govern the country, but they have not allowed the Tian Ce Dynasty to go downhill.

As a prosperous country on the continent, even with internal and external troubles, its strength is still there.

To attack the Northern Royal Court, only the garrisons in the north were mobilized, and the troops in other places have not moved yet.

The Northern Royal Court has already mobilized the entire country to compete, which is enough to show the strength of the Tiance Dynasty.

Pang Jin still remembered that there was an important reason for attacking the Northern Royal Court, that is, there were too many troops stationed in the north and there were sufficient soldiers to fight.

Pang Jin felt that as a subject he should guess the emperor's intention, so he stepped out to agree with Prime Minister Zhao Wenyuan's opinion.

Many ministers also came out to agree, saying that they could definitely fight and they would talk about it first by getting the money.

After Li Chen approved their opinions, this morning court meeting was officially over.

In fact, Li Chen’s thoughts were not as complicated as they thought.

According to his way of thinking, the surrounding major forces must be waiting for the northern Tiance Dynasty to enter into a fierce battle, that is, the main force of the Northern Army to penetrate deep into the Snow Eagle Royal Court.

In this way, even if fighting breaks out around them, the main force will not be able to detour.

Then we just need to find a way to quickly deal with the Snow Eagle Royal Court, and then the main force will be freed up to attack wherever we want.

The problem can be solved from the root.

Li Chen's idea of ​​the game is to find a way to be one step ahead and exceed other people's imagination.

If what you think of is also thought of by others, then how can you win?
Li Chen also knew that it would not be easy to defeat the Snow Eagle Royal Court in a short period of time, but this was the key to a surprise victory.

But before that, we must first deal with the remnants of the previous dynasty and the Zixiao Palace.

After leaving the court, Li Chen remembered something.

Yesterday I had planned to check on Lin Yue'e's progress in training and prepare to take up my post in Shanghe City, but unfortunately I met the Princess of Zhennan. She was so attractive that Li Chen was busy the whole night and didn't have time to go and see her.

It was estimated that by this time, the Ji Lianyu sisters should have woken up, which made Li Chen's calm heart become a little restless again.

Anyway, the Ji family mansion is also in Lin Yue'e's area, why don't we go and see them first?
Especially the Princess of Zhennan, her charm is very fascinating.

After thinking for a while, Li Chen still felt that he had to go see Lin Yue'e first before leaving the palace this time, otherwise he would not be able to get out after entering the Ji family.

In the imperial capital, word has spread that Lin Yue'e will take up the post of Shanghe City Supervisor.

This is a position of real power in the local area, and many people came to congratulate him.

Especially those who came from Shanghe City to the imperial capital to do business, all wanted to seek Lin Yue'e's protection.

Everyone knew Lin Yue'e's character. If she just came to congratulate, she was indeed easy to talk to. But if she wanted to give a gift, being scolded was a small matter. Being arrested would be troublesome.

In the imperial capital, after arresting the second generation of the powerful and the remnants of the second prince, Lin Yue'e's reputation has risen again.

It is still working hours, and Lin Yue'e is sorting files in her office.

Just at this moment, footsteps were heard behind me.

This time, Lin Yue'e reacted very quickly. She turned around and kowtowed, saying, "I, your humble servant Lin Yue'e, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Stand up." Li Chen was also a little surprised. She was concentrating on organizing the files just now, so how did she find him?

As if she noticed Li Chen's doubts, Lin Yue'e explained that she had refined the inner elixir of the ancient monster, the Ink Scaled Ghost Snake, given to her by Li Chen, and gained some special abilities.

You know, snakes don't have very good vision, so their sense of smell and heat are very strong.

Lin Yue'e used these abilities to detect Li Chen's arrival.

After all, she was someone who was taught by Li Chen personally, so she was quite familiar with Li Chen.

As for practicing martial arts, Lin Yue'e never neglected it and would practice martial arts after completing her work every day.

This is also the habit of graduates from the Battle Academy.

It is estimated that after taking office in Shanghe City, he will be able to break through to the Liuhe Realm.

Li Chen was quite satisfied with her progress, but it was not enough to just talk about it. Li Chen would also check it personally.

This touched Lin Yue'e very much. She felt that Li Chen was not in a good mental state and must be busy with official duties day and night. It was an unparalleled honor that he could still take time out of his busy schedule to take care of her.

The favor, which was already unrepayable, has now increased.

"Are you going to Shanghe City? Do you have any preparations?"

Although Li Chen has been emperor for a short time, he has been in the officialdom longer than Lin Yue'e. He is indeed qualified to share some experience with Lin Yue'e.

According to the normal routine, there are two ways here.

The first option is that Lin Yue'e goes back alone.

Just like many inspectors and inspectors in the imperial capital, they were all sent by the highest supervisory agency of the Tiance Dynasty.

Responsible for inspecting the economy, military affairs, people's sentiments and other aspects of the areas under his jurisdiction, reporting directly to the emperor, and rewarding and punishing local officials.

If you want to see the real situation in a place, it’s a good idea to go there hiding your identity.

The second option is for Lin Yue'e to go with great fanfare.

That is to take over formally with a large army, accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Revenue.

Local officials will also go out of the city to welcome him. The position of the city supervisor is very high, not to mention someone like Lin Yue'e who is favored by the emperor.

Which local official would dare not give face to Lin Yue'e? Some would even organize some welcoming ceremonies for her.

The momentum was so huge that Lin Yue'e might not be able to see the real situation on the ground when she just arrived.

"Your Majesty, what do you think I should do?"

Lin Yue'e simply asked Li Chen directly to hear what Li Chen had to say.

"I think you should go there with great fanfare, and see whoever doesn't give you face, then you can deal with them."

According to Li Chen, you should not pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.

This was the same reason why he suggested to Fairy Youlan last time that she should directly display her Saint-level strength.

It feels great to play the pig and eat the tiger, and then you can get slapped in the face.

But Li Chen thought that was very troublesome. If Lin Yue'e went to Shanghe City secretly, she would definitely discover some illegal and disorderly things. It was possible that they were disciples of the officials in Shanghe City, or the officials themselves.

Lin Yue'e saw it, so she couldn't just ignore it.

And those officials also have backers behind them. As the saying goes, the emperor is far away and the sky is high. Shanghe City is not the imperial capital, and all kinds of local tyrants are hidden there.

So as soon as Lin Yue'e arrived there, she would come into conflict with local officials.

Local officials would become disgusted with Lin Yue'e, thinking that she was deliberately suppressing them to establish her authority, and they would pretend to obey her orders but actually disobey them.

In fact, according to Lin Yue'e's authority and ability, it would not be a big problem to discipline those officials. She dared to deal with officials in the imperial capital, let alone the local officials. It just takes some time.

Of course, Li Chen didn't want her to go along with the crowd. Li Chen had a better way of playing with open cards.

This depends on your own strength and background.

Li Chen asked Lin Yue'e to go down with great fanfare and clearly stated what he was going to do, asking everyone not to violate the order and to make things clear first.

That is to say, to set up people who are strict in enforcing the law.

Then the local officials would know what Lin Yue'e's purpose was.

The vast majority of officials will certainly cooperate, and even those who make small moves will restrain themselves and not bring bad luck to Lin Yue'e.

Because all officials know that a new official has three things to do when he takes office, and no one would want to cause trouble openly.

At this time, Lin Yue'e will conduct a thorough investigation and deal with whoever is found guilty.

Even if this person has a background, his background will not help him. They will only think that there is something wrong with him. The new city supervisor has already said that he will conduct a strict investigation. Are you still making trouble?
Other officials would not think that Lin Yue'e was deliberately causing trouble.

In this way, Lin Yue'e's work can be carried out more smoothly, and she can gain a certain reputation not only among the local people but also among her colleagues.

Maybe Li Chen’s idea is different from others. What he wants is to be able to suppress the whole situation and make his subordinates work seriously.

I don’t care who of you are in the same group with whom, as long as you listen to me and be my dog, that’s all.

Instead of being an emperor and having nothing to do but fighting openly and secretly with his subordinates, isn't that just looking for something to do?

So he told Lin Yue'e this idea, hoping that Lin Yue'e could put it to use.

It must be said that Lin Yue'e actually wanted to take up the office incognito at the beginning. After hearing what Li Chen said, she felt it made a lot of sense.

Rather than getting into a fight with local officials, it is better to make things clear and tell you that I am the emperor's confidant and you all have to listen to me, otherwise I will deal with you.

All she had to do was to ensure the stability of the residents, not to compete with her colleagues in wits and courage.

Next, Li Chen asked her if she had brought any help with her. After all, even if she was born in Shanghe City and grew up there, it would be very troublesome for her to start from scratch after returning.

Moreover, whether the local people are obedient or not is one thing, but it is hard to say whether they are capable or not.

Lin Yue'e had actually thought about this. She gathered some good friends, that is, people she knew in the Combat Academy. Those people were very capable and strong, and most importantly, they listened to her.

As long as she goes to Shanghe City, she will immediately arrange her people in various positions, so that she can quickly master the forces under her jurisdiction. It is better than working hard alone.

Li Chen was very pleased that Lin Yue'e could think of this.

Different positions require different approaches, and management must learn how to use people rather than doing everything alone.

It’s not that you can’t do it yourself, it’s just that human energy is limited.

Lin Yue'e has just become a manager and needs to adapt to many things.

Before leaving the imperial capital, Lin Yue'e had something else to say to Li Chen.

When she first began to prepare for her new post, the first person she thought of was Zhou Ye, the jailer in the prison.

Lin Yue'e was well aware of Zhou Ye's information and abilities. If she could dig him out, he would definitely be a great help to her.

In Lin Yue'e's opinion, Zhou Ye was a waste of talent in prison. If he was given a certain official position, he would definitely be able to achieve results.

But Zhou is still the same. He doesn't like to fight with his colleagues and just wants to be a prison guard and take care of the prisoners.

His personality is a bit "self-centered", doing his job well, slacking off at work, taking some bonuses, and not liking to get into trouble.

Zhou Ye's rejection of Lin Yue'e's request was within her expectations, but she just felt it was a waste of such a talented person.

So Lin Yue'e told Li Chen about Zhou Ye's affairs.

"Your Majesty, he is several times stronger than me in every aspect. He was even number one in our Battle Academy. This is a unique achievement."

After hearing Lin Yue'e's recommendation, Li Chen also wanted to take a look at this subordinate.

Zhou Ye never expected that Lin Yue'e would sell him out like this.

In the prison, Zhou Ye was just working and fooling around.

He likes this kind of dark and shady place. He clocks in at work every day and the work is not very busy. He feels very happy.

But at this moment, a person appeared in front of Zhou Ye.

He immediately knelt down and greeted Li Chen.

Judging from his smooth movements, he must be quite skilled.

Zhou had met Li Chen several times and must know Li Chen.

This is the big boss of the Tiance Dynasty.

And he was just a small jailer and basically had nothing to do with it.

Zhou Ye thought that Li Chen was here to see a prisoner, but Li Chen sat in front of him and started asking him some questions, which gave him a bad feeling.

"Where are you from?"

"Your Majesty, I am a humble servant from Mo Cang City."

Mocang City is a city on the western border of the Tiance Dynasty.

Zhou also grew up in that place. He was a mixed-race person and was said to have some Sassanid ancestry.

This was just Li Chen's initial impression of him.

Li Chen still doesn’t know what Zhou Ye’s specific abilities are.

But Li Chen has his own way.

"Oh? Since you are an adult from the western border, tell me what you know about the Sassanid Empire in detail."

Li Chen asked casually, wanting to hear the boy's opinion.

If someone else asked, Zhou would definitely not answer.

The person in front of him is the current emperor, a powerful saint. Zhou certainly wouldn't dare to disobey him.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Ye replied: "Your Majesty, I did go to the Sassanid Empire when I was training. The Sassanid Empire was a country that valued cavalry more than the Northern Royal Court, and its core was heavy cavalry."

According to Zhou Ye, the heavy cavalry of the Sassanid Empire was among the best in the continent, and the reason why it was able to support so many heavy cavalry was because the Sassanid Empire's trade was particularly developed.

There are also some special troops in the heavy cavalry, such as the elephant spirit horse soldiers, earth dragon soldiers, etc. These are mounts with the blood of ancient monsters.

The Sassanid Empire had the custom of raising these monsters. After thousands of years of domestication, these monsters had acquired the ability to fight alongside humans, and their centrality was extremely high.

It is obvious that the monsters are very powerful. When confronted head-on, the impact is formidable.

Zhou Ye also made it clear that the disadvantage of the Monster Cavalry is that their numbers are small, and once there are losses, it is difficult to replenish them.

In addition, if the monks of the Sassanid Empire wanted to succeed, most of them had to rely on the four major families.

They are: Sassanid family, Karl family, Farah family, and Nasser family.

These four families controlled more than 80 percent of the resources of the Sassanid Empire, among which the Sassanid family was the most powerful.

According to Zhou Ye's understanding, the Sassanid Empire used to be a wild land where monsters and beasts roamed everywhere. There were many rainforests there, so monsters and beasts could reproduce better.

It was the strong rise of the Sassanid family that drove away and raised monsters, established cities, and built a huge force.

It took thousands of years of development to reach its current size.

In the past, the Sassanid Empire was constantly at war, and it relied on the powerful impact of its heavy cavalry to win.

Zhou Ye continued to recall that the most elite troops of the Sassanid Empire must be the Savaran Guard, which was equivalent to the imperial guards of the Tiance Dynasty.

The Savaran Guard is also an army directly under the emperor, but one difference is that the commander of the Savaran Guard has the highest command authority at the military level.

In other words, the commander of the Savaran Guard can mobilize any unit. Of course, this authority cannot be higher than that of the emperor.

The reason for this authority is also due to the special characteristics of the Sassanid Empire.

Not all of the Sassanid army was controlled by the royal family.

According to Zhou Ye, some ordinary people in the Sassanid Dynasty also kept monsters at home, and after being tamed, these monsters could help people with work.

There are also disadvantages, which is that monsters are wild after all, and once they go crazy they can cause injuries.

The larger the monster, the more food it needs.

Next, Zhou also introduced some Sassanid monks he had met before.

Li Chen had some understanding of the Sassanid Empire, and he could also judge from the conversation that Zhou Ye was a person who paid great attention to details. Even if he did not deliberately observe, he could grasp important information.

This has to do with his personality. Zhou doesn't like being involved in trouble, so knowing more can help avoid trouble.

Li Chen continued to ask: "How does the Sassanid Dynasty compare to our dynasty?"

Zhou Ye replied proudly: "Of course it is not as good as our dynasty. Our dynasty has a vast territory, outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It is the country with the most saints in the world."

The overall strength of the practitioners of the Tiance Dynasty is undoubtedly top-notch in the world. In front of the practitioners, the monsters are all natural treasures.

Unlike other countries, there are often monsters causing trouble, and troops need to be sent to eliminate them.

To put it bluntly, if large monsters dare to show their faces, they may not even get enough points.

There are quite a few known saints in the Tiance Dynasty, not to mention the existence of some hermits.

In terms of the strength and number of practitioners, the Tiance Dynasty is definitely unique.

Zhou Ye said this and also praised Li Chen.

This is still sincere flattery. Zhou Ke is working in the imperial capital. The stronger the person above him is, the more at ease he will feel.

Zhou Ke had heard of the reputation of Dingtian Shangren a long time ago. Even he was defeated by the emperor, so one can imagine how powerful the emperor is.

It also made Zhou Ye further feel that joining the court was the right choice.

Moreover, from various information channels, he could also judge that Li Chen wanted to clean up the sect's power.

Fortunately, when he arrived in the imperial capital, he only thought about joining the army and did not join a sect like those people.

Otherwise, they would be fighting outside every day and wouldn’t even know how they died.

But then again, it is the brutal competition among the sects that has produced so many top-level cultivators.

Most of the sect's disciples might not be as good as the ones in the Battle Academy, but the top ones all climbed to the top by stepping on the corpses of countless people.

Zhou Ye didn't say these things out loud, but he knew them in his heart.

He didn't know why Li Chen asked him, but he answered truthfully.

"Someone recommended you to me, but I think you just need to do your job well. I hope to see you in the court one day."

After saying that, Li Chen left the prison.

This surprised Zhou Ye very much.

Because when Li Chen said the first half of the sentence, he had a bad feeling, because he knew it was most likely Lin Yue'e's recommendation. Lin Yue'e was a close minister to the emperor, and the emperor would summon her and even come here to see her.

According to the normal process, he thought that Li Chen’s second half of the sentence would be to assign him to work in some department, which would be the beginning of his new identity.

While feeling the trouble, I also have a feeling that "gold will always shine", just like a thousand-mile horse and a good horse trainer.
