"And maybe I can even visit Grandpa from time to time!"
"Hey! You two, I'm planning to seduce... ugh, to propose myself to His Highness Taiyi to be his woman, so be polite to me!"
"...Do you want to say seduction?" Guan Yinping completed Dong Bai's words with an innocent look on her face.
"You're a step late." Zhang Xingcai looked at Dong Bai expressionlessly and replied, "The talent show ended a few days ago."
"Besides, Yinping and I were both selected."
"...Sister Zhang, Sister Guan, it was because of my bad temper before, and my voice was a little loud. I hope you two sisters can be more tolerant." After being stunned for a long time, Dong Bai immediately put on an expression of 'my sister is very well-behaved', looked at Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping timidly, and called them 'sister, sister' all the time.
"...She is worthy of being Dong Zhuo's granddaughter. Her face-changing technique is truly superb." It was the first time that Zhang Xingcai saw Dong Bai behave so well. Even though he knew that the other party was acted out by the engraving, he was still a little stunned.
Since Dong Bai is favored by Dong Zhuo, who is obsessed with appearance, there is no need to say much about her appearance.
Once she pretended to be good, her true nature was revealed and she instantly caught people's attention.
Moreover, she often used this face to please Dong Zhuo in the early years, so her acting skills were naturally first-class.
Although Zhang Xingcai and Guan Yinping had some understanding of her personality, they were still somewhat touched when they saw her well-behaved appearance for the first time.
The most important thing is...she calls me sister!
Among her peers and friends, Guan Yinping, who is the youngest and often called "sister", has red eyes.
This was the first time she was called sister since she was born.
"Sister Xingcai, how about we go and talk to His Highness Taiyi?"
Zhang Xingcai's face darkened instantly.
Giving Guan Yinping a cold look, Zhang Xingcai reminded Dong Bai to stay here for two more days, then hurriedly took Guan Yinping's hand and left.
"Sister, you are so confused!" After leaving Dong Bai's confinement place, Zhang Xingcai looked at Guan Yinping helplessly and reminded her, "Have you forgotten that we were entrusted by our uncle to bring Dong Bai into the public office so that those who were released from Dong Zhuo's faction can see some direction in life and avoid troubles!"
"If she were allowed to enter the palace, not to mention her arrogant character, would Dong Zhuo's followers take advantage of this opportunity to re-emerge?"
Chapter 123 Zeus: It's time to pick peaches
——Olympus——
"Well... this will be disastrous if it continues." With his hands on the edge of the altar, Zeus used the altar's water mirror that could peek into other worlds and observed the existence in that other world that shocked him.
"Father God, you called me?" A beautiful woman wearing revealing golden armor and a golden helmet that covered the area above her nose came over and asked.
"Oh, here you are, Athena." Zeus turned sideways and looked at his most capable daughter with a smile on his face. "I may need to trouble you to do something dangerous next."
"That's a sign that Father God values me." Athena stopped about two meters away from Zeus and lowered her head slightly and responded, "No matter what the order is, I will complete it perfectly. Please give the order, Father God."
"Very good, very good." Zeus's upward arc of the mouth became wider. "You should have heard that Enrochi created a world and involved people from the Three Kingdoms of China and the Warring States of Japan to open a Colosseum."
"Yes." Athena nodded and replied, "I also heard that the immortal general Suzan Ming was defeated not long ago and retreated to the immortal world to recuperate."
"Ha, Suzanmei." Zeus murmured with some contempt, "If that old fellow Emperor of Heaven was still alive, there would be no chance for him to come forward."
The strength of the Emperor of Heaven may not be the strongest among all the immortals and gods, but his strategy and identification ability are unique.
"Father God called me here, is it for the fairyland? Or for that other world?" Athena asked proactively when she saw that Zeus had strayed from the topic.
"Oh, that's right." Zeus scratched his head and replied awkwardly, "In fact, not long ago I found that something extremely bad had appeared in the world, so I used the water mirror to take a little peek... and found that it was not only an extremely bad thing, but also an extremely bad existence."
"The chaos around that guy is just like my big brother. It made my water mirror ineffective."
"Father God's elder brother... Uncle Hades, the lord of the underworld." Athena frowned slightly under her golden helmet.
As the first brain of Olympus, she had long noticed that her uncle seemed to be eyeing her father's throne, but unfortunately, her father did not believe it at all, and even thought that she was overthinking, which led to her seeing everyone as a rebel.
After all, in Zeus's eyes, Hades is a good brother who cares for him and even supports him as a good brother sitting on the throne.
"Well, that guy isn't that important." Zeus scratched his head and replied, "At most, he became the king of humans in that other world created by Enryuchi... Well, I admit that he does have some talent."
"But the most important thing is... that guy imprisoned Tamamonomae instead of killing her."
"Tamamonomae? The famous war fox?" Athena took a step forward and looked around to confirm that her warmongering elder brother was not present.
"Don't worry, I didn't ask Ares to come." Zeus waved his hand and explained.
"Who let the fox out?" Athena asked.
"I have already asked the three goddesses of fate about this." Zeus grinned and said, "It's Daji."
"Tsk, the demon girl Daji, all the troublesome characters are mixed together." Athena curled her lips and sighed in dissatisfaction, "The fairy world is really getting more and more incompetent."
"Well, after all, the person in charge some time ago was that brainless guy Susanoo." Zeus didn't care much about it. "But this is not the point. After all, both Daji and Tamamonomae were captured and imprisoned by the king of humans."
"...Father God, is this what you mean by talent?" Athena's voice rose several notches.
"Tsk, okay, I admit that guy is very talented, okay." Zeus clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, "Anyway, listen to me first."
"That guy didn't seal Tamamonomae and Daji after imprisoning them. In short, the threat from those two women is still there." Seeing that Athena had finally calmed down, Zeus continued, "This is a problem."
"If that idiot Ares knew about this, he would definitely get involved. I'm worried that he would be killed by that guy." Zeus' mouth was full of disgust for his own son.
"So, I plan to send an envoy to persuade that guy... or give him some help to help him seal Tamamonomae and Daji."
"Of course, this is the superficial reason." Zeus's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes became more gloomy. "In fact, the messenger's goal is something else."
"That super bad thing I mentioned before."
"The divine object that old Emperor Tian used to hold - the divine mirror."
"That is a divine weapon that can freely replicate any world and strengthen or seal demonic beings." Zeus pursed his lips, his eyes showing a little more desire. "The old man used that magic mirror to kill a lot of troublesome guys in the past."
"Even the previous war between gods was resolved by that old guy using that magic mirror."
"Although cracks appeared in the magic mirror when the Emperor of Heaven died, which led to the birth of Yuan Luzhi, some of the magic mirror's effects have not disappeared."
"Bring back the divine mirror, and let me, the Lord of Olympus, take care of it. This is the real purpose of the envoy's visit to the other world."
"So, Athena, can I ask you to complete this task?" Zeus smiled again and asked his beloved daughter in a humble manner.
"Why me?" Athena pointed at herself in surprise and asked, "Isn't Hermes the best person for this kind of thing?"
"Hermes is not an option." Zeus shook his head and replied, "He is too famous for stealing. I am worried that he will find out the real purpose of my sending an envoy as soon as he arrives."
"After all, that was an opponent that even Daji and Tamamonomae could defeat."
"...Okay, I understand." Athena put her hand on the golden helmet and sighed helplessly, "Since it is the order of the Father, I will do it."
"Oh, you are worthy of being my most well-behaved daughter." Zeus grinned and said, "I will leave everything to you!"
Looking at Athena's departing back, the smile on Zeus' face gradually faded, and his eyes became a little colder.
"You heard it, Ares."
As soon as Zeus finished speaking, a man with a handsome face but rather gloomy eyes walked out from behind a stone pillar not far away.
"Father God, please give your orders." A ferocious smile appeared on Ares' face.
Chapter 124: Himiko: Am I worthy of appearing at this time?
The new country was established and the emperor ascended the throne.
The process of this ceremony is quite complicated and tedious.
Taiyi could only treat himself as a puppet and let Liu Bei, who was in charge of the process, lead him around.
The process was not completed until the ceremony was over and he sat on the dragon throne in the center of the main hall of the newly built imperial palace.
Just as Taiyi came back to his senses from his daze and was about to call Liu Bei, Taigong Wang and Zhang Chunhua together for a small meeting to prepare for tomorrow's wedding ceremony, the voice that suddenly appeared in the meeting in his mind made Taiyi's movements freeze slightly.
[“Should I shout out: Newcomer reporting in?” A childish and sweet voice suddenly sounded from the meeting in my head.
"Wow! What kind of personality is that? When did it come out? I was totally unprepared and got shocked!" Achilles' response was a little exaggerated.
"It appeared at the moment when the Master just ascended the throne and officially became the emperor... Could it be the emperor's personality?" Jeanne tried to infer from the clues given by Achilles before.
"Emperor? No, no, no! I'm not that great!" The newcomer responded a little nervously, "But... eh - Future-kun is the emperor? And he's the new emperor who just finished his coronation ceremony? It feels a little weird."
“Ahem! I am Himiko, the queen of Yamatai. I am the eternal mediator and the priestess of light.” The childish and sweet voice suddenly turned low and became a mature sister’s voice… It’s hard to imagine that it’s the same person, so we can only say - voice actors are all monsters!
"The Queen of Yamatai? Yamatai?" Achilles' voice sounded very confused.
"I'm sorry, my knowledge of history and culture is very poor, so I don't know much about this aspect." Joan of Arc added hastily.
"It's actually the Queen of Yamatai! Lady Himiko!" Minamoto no Raikou, who had been offline in the mental meeting ever since Taichi arranged for him to monitor Tamamonomae and Daji, couldn't help but stand up and speak.
"How should I put it? I feel a little complicated." Taiyi also responded in the mental meeting.
"What an incredible encounter." Himiko said with a smile, "Ah, Mirai-kun happened to call me, so I'll do a divination for Mirai-kun now!"
"Mirai-kun, do you have a crush on someone?"
Taiyi felt that this person was a little too gossipy.
"I'm really sorry. Rather than saying it's the person I like, it's better to say that tomorrow is my wedding day. If nothing unexpected happens, dozens of people will enter my back room." Taiyi responded.
"Is the number of people this outrageous?" Himiko, who never married in her life, exclaimed with her voice breaking.
"I'm sorry, I underestimated Mirai-kun. Someone like me is not worthy of predicting love for Mirai-kun."
"So, let's just predict the future! Look at my light magic! Hmm - this and that... I see." After mumbling a bunch of interjections, Himiko said in a serious voice, "Mirai-kun, please listen carefully, this is the oracle of light!"
"Soon, uninvited guests from far away will arrive. Please take good care of your personal belongings to avoid being stolen by them. Beep! That's what the oracle said." Himiko exclaimed in surprise, "So polite! This time the voice has become so polite!"
"Will there be a thief coming? Master, if not, use that mirror to materialize me as well." Jeanne suggested, "Perhaps I can track the thief through revelation."
To be honest, it was both an oracle and a revelation, and Taiyi suddenly felt pity for the uninvited guest who was about to arrive.
"Good suggestion, let's do this after the ceremony."]
Pulling his mind away from the meeting in his head, Taiyi looked at the people in the main hall with different expressions, then nodded to Taigong Wang and Liu Bei.
"The establishment of the new country, I'm sure you are all as excited as I am and I am." Taiyi spoke, "Logically speaking, the new emperor should grant amnesty to the people, but considering that the prisoners now are all those who do not obey the new country's discipline, I will not make this offer."
"Go directly to the process of conferring titles and honors."
"Because I am new to government affairs and don't know much about them, and I am still in the process of understanding them, I have set up a 'cabinet' to govern on my behalf."
"The first advisor of the cabinet, Liu Bei, retains the title of 'King of Hanzhong' and is in charge of the people's livelihood and public security. Xun Yu will be his deputy."
"The second advisor of the cabinet, Tai Gong Wang, was granted the title of 'King Wucheng' and was in charge of military and political reforms, foreign exploration and exchanges. Zhao Yun was his deputy."
"The cabinet's quasi-advisor, Zhang Chunhua, is given the title of 'Pinggao County Lord' and is in charge of communication within and outside the palace."
……
In addition to the three advisers of the cabinet, Taiyi also personally ordered Shennong, who followed Taigongwang and chose to join the new country, to be the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau, independent of the cabinet.
As for the national official system, Taiyi chose the six-department system, so there was no room for the three provinces.
After all, if Taiyi wants to find someone, he can just project the screen to them, and there is no need for a middleman to pass the message.
In addition, Taiyi also followed the style of the Ming Dynasty and established the "Jinyiwei" to monitor all officials.
The Jinyiwei had the power to investigate and arrest, but did not have the right to interrogate privately.
The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is tentatively designated as Lu Xun.
Commanding officers - Ning Ning and Zhang Xingcai.
Well, the job of these two Tongzhi is basically to supervise the purity within the Jinyiwei.
After all, the two Tongzhis were Taiyi's concubines.
Although some people were dissatisfied with Taiyi's practice of allowing people from the harem to participate in politics, no one dared to speak out.
Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, Guan Yu.
Although it was somewhat due to his connections, Guan Yu's ability to train and lead troops was still trustworthy.
The Jiangdong power group has some resentment about this.
But no one dared to object.
After all, they had not yet been punished for their previous ingratitude towards Rachel, so they did not dare to jump.
Besides, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is a member of their Jiangdong Group.
So they still have some satisfaction in their hearts.
