Seeing Xiao Tianming who bowed to the end and never raised his head, the three old men looked at each other and smiled: This little guy is really horrible.

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor was the first to speak: "Very well, careful observation and in-depth analysis, it seems that Lao Xiao has found us a good young man!"

The Duke of the Song family next to him also smiled: "Not bad, do you want to go into politics with me? There must be a good future. If you are old, you can rest a few years earlier if you have a good young man?" This is a compliment, Song The family will naturally not give up their political status. .

"Hmph, you're right, kid!" This is Wei Yan, an old man from the Wei family.With a violent temper, he has always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and he is the most upright high-level empire.

Xiao Tianming didn't care either, he straightened up with a smile on his face, and his expression was very helpful.Standing aside without arrogance or impetuosity, he let the three old men chat with each other while he remained silent.In any case, I couldn't communicate with them.

While the three giants were chatting endlessly, they secretly paid attention to Xiao Tianming's reaction, and found that the topics ranged from state affairs to personal cultivation, and even joked about how many illegitimate children Duke Song had. .Instead, he calmly followed the topic, occasionally inserting a few words, all on the point, neither vulgar nor ostentatious, and won the hearts of the Big Three.

Xiao Tianming didn't know that he passed another level, and the Big Three were deliberately testing his patience and experience.After chatting for a while, they appreciated Xiao Tianming's extensive knowledge.The temperament of being neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, neither humble nor overbearing made them fancy even more.There are very few people in this world who can talk and laugh happily in front of the three of them without changing their expressions.

"Okay, young man, let's get down to business, you don't want to know, what is the purpose of us three old guys keeping you here?" His Majesty the Emperor was the first to ask.

Xiao Tianming was startled: Here comes the topic.He knew very well that if he did not answer well in the previous test, the Big Three would never waste time asking himself this.It seems that there are indeed important things to stay behind, and it is not commonplace to gossip.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Tianming slowly replied: "I think the first purpose is to conduct a preliminary inspection of me. Grandpas, please allow me to call it that, it will look kind. For the sake of my grandpa, I don't want to refute his will, and my second uncle Xiao Shan has indeed done a great job, and I also have some sanctuary power, so I reluctantly agreed to support me as the interim Patriarch."

"However, the Xiao family is one of the pillars of the empire after all. Presumably, grandpas will never rest assured that it will be handed over to a child who has just grown up and is still young. Even if he has mastered the power of the sanctuary, he cannot easily Just do a good job as the head of the big family casually. After all, it is impossible without enough experience and experience. It is also inevitable to make investigations."

"As for the second thing, I think it should be about the northwest. The strength of the orcs going south this time is very unusual, and the inside story is astonishing. Even Bantu couldn't help but intervene. The high-level empire must make a decision. Even I can boldly guess that there have been new changes in the Orc Grassland."

After finishing a long speech, Xiao Tianming couldn't help taking a long breath, and gulped down his saliva.

"Okay, very good!" The Big Three applauded unanimously, "Young man, it is not easy to achieve what you have done. Young people nowadays rarely pay attention to national affairs, and they are all busy Fighting for power and profit, the country's future is in jeopardy!" The emperor's old voice revealed exhaustion.

"Your Majesty, don't get excited, sit down and have a rest." The Prime Minister Song Yu who was next to him kindly supported the old emperor to sit down, even though he was very old.

Xiao Tianming was startled: A young man fighting for power?Do you mean the three princes?The third son wins the heir, the tragedy of the royal family.The old emperor must be in great pain too, but, didn't you bring about all this with your own hands?The empire only needs one emperor, but you have cultivated three excellent princes. This is a situation created by the old emperor.No one is qualified to intervene.

After a lot of difficulty, the old emperor finally recovered his breath. It is conceivable how cruel it is to make the old emperor, who was in a state of war, suffer so much that he didn't even want to mention it.Recalling the banquet, the appearance of the three princes in a personable and friendly manner is really ironic.

"Actually, I came to you to ask all my loves, what is the possibility of moving the country's capital? I have already discussed this matter with Lao Xiao, but it is a pity that he left early and left without making a decision. Therefore, everyone must come up with ideas." The old emperor said panting.

Move the capital?Have you talked to the old master?Could it be that, just after I arrived at Xiao's house, the old Patriarch rushed to the palace and only came back a few days, because of this?Move the capital!In this era, it is equivalent to transferring the political, economic, and cultural centers of an empire together, and the resistance is not ordinary.

Imagine that the many tyrants, gentry and local tyrants in the empire, the major families, major officials, and royal forces are all intertwined and intricate.If the capital is moved casually, how much money and time will it take to rebuild the imperial city and Miyagi?City planning, military region planning, one by one real and huge problems are placed in front of all those in power.

The most important question is, why do we want to move the capital?The orcs attacked the northwest, so we are afraid of the orcs?Or is the emperor confused, afraid that the empire is not chaotic enough?How many vested interests will be affected by a relocation of the capital?Will they let the old emperor mess around casually?

Xiao Tianming didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't dare to say it, he could only stand aside silently, watching the two old people look at the old man who couldn't stop panting in surprise, Jun Delong, he was really old.

"Your Majesty, I have three questions: First, why do you want to move the capital. Second, where do you want to move to. Third, what do you plan to do? Your Majesty, I hope you can answer us so that we can better advise you. In the end, Xiao Tianming couldn't resist the "threatening" gazes of the two old men, so he could only do this.

"I can't tell you the reason for moving the capital yet. It's a very important matter, and it can only be revealed when it is confirmed. Here, we need to discuss the possibility of moving the capital and the specific issues that need to be considered. As for how to do it, to be honest, I haven't done it yet. Think it over. This matter was originally entrusted to Lao Xiao for a detailed investigation, but he died halfway. Time is running out, and I need you." The old emperor was slurred, showing deep scruples.

"What about the exact location?"

"I've thought about it for a long time, and it's in the lingering vein of the Warcraft Mountains in the south, a city very close to the Elven Forest: Elbita City." The old emperor hesitated for a long time before telling the result.

Everyone gasped: This is a big deal!Jingdu City is located in the northwest of the Huanglong Empire, facing the Tianlong Fortress, and they are the horns of each other.At the beginning, it was to consider strengthening the border defense, using the joint efforts of the Tianlong Legion and the Central Legion to curb the invasion of the Northwest Orcs and the Western territory.

The empire has been established for thousands of years, even in the most critical time, no monarch is willing to move the capital. This is a major event that breaks the rules of the ancestors!If it is enshrined in the ancestral hall after death, it will be cursed by future generations!Even though they can't live forever, no one wants to leave a bad reputation forever.Therefore, no matter how stupid the emperor is, as long as he is not invaded by aliens or natural disasters strike, he will never move his capital at will.

Even if they had to leave the old capital as a last resort, all Huanglong people would spontaneously take back the capital city.Therefore, there is a proverb circulating in the mainland: It is better to occupy the island of the undead than to enter the capital city.It means that all the generals, even if they defeat the Huanglong army, are unwilling to occupy the capital city.This will arouse the resistance of all Huanglong bloodlines, and every one who does this will end well, without exception.

Now, the lord really said that he wants to move the capital and take the initiative to give up the capital city?Does he, the emperor, still want to do it?Water can carry a boat and capsize it, the old emperor's move is undoubtedly stirring up a tsunami!

The situation in the empire is turbulent and treacherous. There are three princes vying for the throne inside, and powerful enemies outside are stalking. The old emperor is dying and precarious.At a time of precariousness and crisis, how could you propose to move to Erbita, a place so far away?

For a moment, everyone looked at the old emperor with the eyes of a fool, and the eyes clearly said: You are not old and confused, right?Regardless of cause and effect, let us find a way to move the capital. If we do it right, that’s all.

Seeing this, the old emperor smiled wryly: "Sure enough, you also have the same expression. Old Xiao had the same expression as yours back then. This old man wants to beat me up! Haha, you are calm." The old emperor said It is full of nostalgia for the old Patriarch.

"However, you have to believe that I am by no means stupid. I am more sober than anyone else at this time! The reason, I really can't tell you. I doubt it. I told Lao Xiao everything, and he He just died so quickly and bizarrely. I, I can't say..." The old emperor was in tears, if the emperor still has the most trusted friend, Xiao Zhanlong is definitely one of them.

The friendship that grew up kicking buttocks, the friendship that died on the battlefield, the friendship that supported each other after middle age, the friendship that named each other's children... two old men, it can be said that they are one.Therefore, I believe that the old emperor is full of guilt at this time.Who said the most ruthless emperor's family?

Perhaps, it was precisely because of this that Xiao Tianming had the opportunity to ascend to the position of Patriarch so smoothly.

Hearing this, Xiao Tianming was touched by the feelings of the two close friends, but he was shocked: he thought of the inexplicable actions of the dark goddess, Snow, the dark spy of the Holy See of Light, and the inexplicable southern expedition of the orcs, and thought of Saru Man's melancholy eyes made him think of Xiao Qigong's strangely burning soul after his death!Xiao Tianming deeply knows that the world will not be peaceful again, it really won't be peaceful!
