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

Chapter 233 Li Xueying's mission, Li Chen's work! (Please subscribe, please vote)
Xu Zifeng is a very possessive person.

He got up early in the morning and began to "renovate" the Ji family mansion.

As for those male servants, Xu Zifeng directly fired them or asked them to find jobs in other mansions.

Even the housekeeper here is a woman, and he has to ensure the safety of his aunt and mother.

It's like a lion patrolling its territory.

In this Ji family mansion, there can only be one male, him.

His status is very noble. He is the son of King Zhennan, the young master of the Ji family, and a general of the court. The people of the Ji family must listen to his arrangements.

After doing all this, he came to his aunt's door and paid his respects to the two elders.

At this time, Princess Zhennan and Ji Lianyu had already woken up and had cleaned up the house long ago, and Xu Zifeng did not notice anything unusual.

"Mom, if you catch a cold, just rest more. I'll be fine in the Ji family."

Xu Zifeng still cares about his mother very much. Seeing his mother looking tired, he knows that she didn't get enough rest last night.

Princess Zhennan yawned, indicating that she was fine and that she would recover from the cold after a few days of rest.

Instead, she began to care whether Xu Zifeng was injured. As a mother, she must feel sorry for her son.

Aunt Ji Lianyu also said that war was very dangerous, and she tried her best to help Xu Zifeng find some expert guards from the imperial capital.

Seeing the concern of the two stunningly beautiful women, Xu Zifeng felt warm inside.

"Mother, aunt, don't worry about my safety. Not only am I fine this time, I also had some adventures and my cultivation has been improved. You don't have to worry about my protection, I have experts around me."

In Xu Zifeng's opinion, a master of Ma Hei's level is already very strong in the Tianyuan Realm. If he searches higher, he will have to find the Saint Realm.

Since ancient times, monks in the saint realm have been very arrogant. Who would be willing to be a bodyguard for others?

Xu Zifeng also said that he might be able to break through to the Guantian realm in a while, and his strength would be enhanced again at that time.

Finally, he assured his mother and aunt not to worry, saying that sooner or later, he would be able to reach the Saint realm. The power of the Saint realm was unquestionable, and by that time no one would be able to harm his mother and aunt.

Hearing Xu Zifeng say this, the two beautiful ladies were very pleased. It was worth our love for you.

However, there is really no one who can hurt them, after all, they have a real saint-level powerful master by their side.

They must know how powerful Li Chen is, and he can always make them feel life and death.

The reason why Li Chen did not show up in the morning was because he had to attend the morning court.

At this moment, he had already arrived at the court. Prime Minister Zhao Wenyuan was reporting Guo Poyun for his dereliction of duty in the Western Expedition. Guo Poyun felt that Zhao Wenyuan was making a false accusation and that he knew nothing about marching and fighting.

The two old men also started a heated debate. The ministers behind them were silent as they did not want to be involved in the bickering between the two.

These two people are very vengeful. If you are targeted by them, the consequences will be disastrous.

In the end, Li Chen gave both of them a mild punishment, and their farce stopped.

In fact, this kind of thing happened frequently before. During the reign of the previous emperor, the two of them often quarreled.

But at that time it was a factional struggle, but now it is just like two old men bickering.

Since Li Chen became emperor, the busiest department has been the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of Justice Pang Jin has been busy from morning to night.

Now other departments are busier than the Ministry of Justice. As the territory of the Tiance Dynasty increases, the number of cities and population under its jurisdiction will naturally continue to increase. The Ministry of Personnel will definitely need to arrange the promotion, demotion and dispatch of various officials.

The Ministry of Revenue needs to take stock of the new local fiscal revenue and expenditure, the Ministry of War needs to plan the construction of military forces in each region, and the Ministry of Rites also needs to promote etiquette to the local people.

Not to mention the Ministry of Industry, the rail train project alone is enough to keep their entire department busy.

In order to perform well, Lin Mo insists on working on the front line every day.

Different from other sons of luck, this guy is simply capable and is favored by his superiors.

If it were in the past, if the workload of these court officials was increased, they would definitely be miserable.

It’s different now. Expanding territory is a major national event. They feel very proud to be able to participate in it and naturally work very hard.

Li Chen's job is to listen to their reports and make some arrangements.

Recently, a new "court official" has appeared in the court meeting, that is, Anxi King Li Ji.

Li Ji was someone who could attend court but did not have to.

People like the prime minister, the general, the six ministers, etc., all have to attend the morning court. If they miss any time, they need to ask for leave from Li Chen.

Li Ji's status was only high enough to allow him to attend court, but he did not have any substantive work, so it did not matter if he did not come.

He has been hanging out in the imperial capital lately. When he has nothing to do, he comes to court to make himself known.

Originally, after Li Ji achieved military merit, he received many rewards and was preparing to return to his fiefdom to continue his business. He didn't believe that he would fail this time.

But he mingled with the circle of children of generals, and his circle of friends consisted of people like Liu Hao.

These people have certain channels of information. Li Ji has also heard about the sea clan. He thought that perhaps he could gain some military merit and increase his entrepreneurial capital, so he continued to develop in the imperial capital.

Anyway, he is still young, so it won’t be a problem for him to hold on for a few more years.

Li Ji could indeed attend court, but Li Ran could not.

His identity is too special, and he is still a criminal without Li Chen's pardon.

But Li Ran was very powerful back then. When the late emperor went to court, Li Ran always stood next to the dragon throne, and the prince was among the ministers. So it was obvious who hated Li Ran the most.

At that time, there were many different opinions among the court officials. Some said that Your Majesty trained Li Ran to serve as a whetstone for the Crown Prince.

Others said that His Majesty was planning to train Li Ran to be his successor.

But in the end, one of them was deposed and the other died, and neither of them ascended the throne.

Perhaps the late emperor never thought that the person sitting in this position would be Li Chen.

After the court meeting, Li Chen returned to the imperial study and continued his work for the day.

Looking at the memorials on the table, Li Chen felt that more and more people wanted to overturn the verdict recently, so he had to find an opportunity to transfer Lin Yue'e back.

Li Chen was not very confident about other people handling these cases, but Lin Yue'e could indeed handle them. She was impartial and always insisted on fairness and justice in her work.

Everyone knows that Lin Yue'e has Li Chen's badge, so it is very appropriate for her to handle many things.

Once Lin Yue'e finishes her work on the Wang family and the remnants of the previous dynasty, she can return to the imperial capital. Now is not the time yet.

Since you are going to be sent down to the grassroots level for training, it will definitely take some time for you to settle down.

The memorials were almost processed when light footsteps were heard at the door.

This woman's every move was dignified and graceful, her temperament was noble and elegant, and her figure was the voluptuous one that is unique to mature women.

"Sixteenth Aunt, why are you here?"

When Li Chen saw her, he also put down the memorial in his hand.

Li Xueying now lives in the palace, so she can come to see Li Chen at any time.

She took care of Li Chen in every possible way, which improved Li Chen's quality of life to a certain extent.

Especially when the two of them were together, she liked to hold Li Chen in her arms and let Li Chen have a good rest.

"Your Majesty, you have worked hard. I have already arranged for you all the women from the north."

This is one of Li Xueying’s jobs.

If you want to survive in the palace, you must find a way to get what the emperor needs.

Li Xueying put a lot of effort into training the more than one hundred women in the Northern Royal Court.

Hearing that Li Chen brought more than 200 people to the Sassanid Empire this time, Li Xueying planned to let Li Chen test the results of her training first.

If Li Chen was satisfied, she would be able to gain a foothold in the palace. After enjoying Li Xueying's warm service for a while, Li Chen followed her into a palace.

Thirty-six golden lotus lanterns lit up one after another, making the area in front of Liuyun Hall as bright as day.

Li Chen was leaning on the green jade couch, his fingertips still stained with the scent of sandalwood ink from memorials, and there were more than a dozen beauties serving him.

As melodious music sounded, a group of concubines dressed in gorgeous costumes slowly walked into the hall.

These clothes are very exquisite, showing off their figures perfectly, all white.

The moment the concubines stepped onto the white marble steps barefoot, the golden bells on their wrists rang.

The way they touched the ground on tiptoe was just like a fox in the snowfield leaping over an ice crack, but the leather belts around their waists were clearly embroidered with the Central Plains' pattern of hundreds of butterflies.

The concubines began to dance gracefully. Their movements were elegant and smooth. Every turn and every wave of their arms revealed endless charm and elegance.

They have graceful figures, their long legs draw beautiful arcs in the air, and their plump breasts are the most essential embellishment of the dance, exuding an indescribable charm.

Li Chen was appreciating the dance while enjoying the service of the concubines beside him.

Only now did he understand why kings disliked early morning court sessions.

After this dance was over, Li Chen was planning to have an in-depth discussion on the issue of flexibility with these dozen concubines.

Li Xueying smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is still a solo dance segment."

Li Chen knew that since his aunt said so, the next program must be good, so he let Li Xueying continue to arrange it.

The so-called solo dance was naturally the personal performance of Queen Mother Tuoba Anyu of the Northern Royal Court.

The other concubines were at least half-naked, but Tuoba Anyu was completely naked. Her figure was extremely voluptuous, breathtaking, and indescribably alluring. One could never have imagined that there was such a beauty in the world.

Li Chen still remembers the first time he met her, he knew she must be quite big, but now he realizes that he underestimated her.

This is Li Xueying's masterpiece, and its purpose is to please Li Chen.

The music continued to play and Tuoba Anyu's solo show began.

But she was forced to stop dancing halfway through her performance.

In the next three days, other concubines appeared one after another, only Tuoba Anyu stayed by Li Chen's side.

They are indeed a perfect match and it seems they met too late.

Shanghe City is a city with relatively developed commerce.

There are many merchant families here who travel around doing business, so the city is very prosperous.

In terms of public security, with Lin Yue'e's management and the cooperation between the sect and the court, the monks began to restrain themselves.

Just like when Li Chen came here for the first time, monks from various sects could be seen fighting with weapons everywhere on the streets.

There are also people like Tang Shan who, when they can't buy anything at the auction house, try to steal or rob.

These things won’t happen now. It’s not that the quality of the monks has improved, but they will be severely punished if they are caught.

So when they have a grudge, they will say: If you have the guts, let’s go fight him one-on-one.

As long as you leave Shanghe City, the government will not care.

People definitely like to live in places with better security conditions. The population is gradually increasing, and everything is developing in a good direction.

The Jiang family was also prosperous in Shanghe City, but Jiang Mo was not very interested in making money. She only wanted to practice well.

Any cultivator who enters a sect will definitely aim to cultivate to the saint level.

Jiang Mo is an inner disciple of Yuxu Immortal Mansion and has considerable strength.

Today she followed her master and several senior brothers and sisters to explore the devil's cave.

For practitioners, secret realms, devil's caves, ruins, monster's nests and the like are all places for training.

By gaining experience in these places, you can not only improve your cultivation, but also obtain some rare treasures.

The reason why dangerous places are dangerous is that they hide mysterious treasures.

During this period of time, Jiang Mo followed his master to search for the demon cave. He gained a lot of experience in fighting the monsters in the cave, and his tacit understanding with his senior brothers and sisters also began to increase.

The so-called devil's cave is the place where the ancient demons fell. Some monsters or creatures will become demons if they stay there for a long time.

After being demonized, the strength of creatures will be greatly enhanced.

If you are lucky, treasures of the level of "Dragon Yuan" will appear in the magic cave.

Last time, Pei Wanyu was almost beaten to death by the eight-armed demon bear that obtained the dragon essence.

However, the area is different. Jiang Mo's cultivation is relatively low, and the demon cave he came to destroy had already been destroyed by many predecessors, but now monsters have appeared again.

This is the location where wild monsters are fixedly refreshed.

As we all know, in a place like this, if you can get the first kill, you will definitely get the best things. The treasures in the cave have also been almost all looted, and those who come later can only get some scraps.

That is, after killing the monster, you can obtain some cultivation materials from the monster.

"No one has been to this devil's cave for more than ten years. Everyone be careful."

Jiang Mo's master Ning Tao spoke.

Ning Tao was dressed in a white dress as white as snow, with a light blue silk ribbon tied around her waist, outlining her slender yet upright figure.

She has an extremely beautiful face, yet a chilling beauty.

Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like cold stars, her nose is high and her lips are light.

Her beauty is not the kind of gentle and pleasant beauty, but like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, with its edge exposed, making people dare not look at it directly.

In the cultivation world of the Tian Ce Dynasty, all cultivators above the ninth level are sword cultivators. Ning Tao and Jiang Mo are no exception. They both practice swordsmanship and supplement with talismans.

Behind Ning Tao's cold and aloof temperament, there lies a little-known past.

She was originally a cultivator from her family, and she had no choice but to join the Yuxu Immortal Palace.

In order to achieve better development, the family betrothed her to a member of the royal family.

Once something is finalized, it cannot be changed.

But Ning Tao refused to accept it. She had also seen the royal family before, and it was clear at first glance that they were people who just wanted to eat and wait for death.

In a fit of anger, she joined the Yuxu Immortal Mansion and gained the sect's protection.

Even the royal family doesn't dare to offend the sect easily.

What’s more, the sect was very powerful back then and crushed the secular world.

Ning Tao practiced hard in the sect for more than ten years and successfully became an elder with a disciple.

As the saying goes, when a master teaches his disciples, he always brings his own ideas, that is, he inputs some values ​​into his disciples, so her disciples sneered at the behavior of the royal family.

People like Jiang Mo, even if they have never seen the royal family, are still members of the Tiance Dynasty. They understand what the royal family does and have a bad impression of them.

In addition, due to the strength of the imperial court some time ago, the sect and the imperial court began to cooperate. The royal family member who had been pestering Master also came to Yuxu Immortal Mansion, wanting Master to fulfill the marriage contract.

This will make their impression of the royal family even worse.

In the past, this member of the royal family would have had his legs broken and thrown out.

But it’s different now. The royal family has the support of the heroic leader Li Chen, and everyone is starting to become arrogant.

In order to avoid trouble, Ning Tao brought his disciples to the Demon Cave for training. In addition to Jiang Mo, there were two men and two women who accompanied them.
