After hearing these words, Jiang Li's eyes were dark and cold, showing no trace of happiness or anger.

"What a loyal minister."

"Since you want to use your blood to remonstrate with you, I will give you a chance to help you."

"You commit suicide!"

As soon as these words came out, there was dead silence.

If the king asks his minister to die, he must die.

A flash of sad determination flashed in Bai Qi's eyes.

He was not afraid of death, but his biggest regret was that he failed to kill the traitor before his death.

There was a snap.

Bai Qi put the Longquan sword on his neck.

"If you want to kill a thief, you can't save him!"

"Bai Qi deserves to die!"

After saying that, he suddenly exerted force on his upper hand, and the blade of the knife instantly touched the carotid artery.

Just five steps before the blood splattered, suddenly, a big hand firmly grasped the Longquan Sword.

The hand covering the sword's blade belonged to Jiang Li.

In an instant, the sharp sword blade cut the palm of his hand.

The red blood flows down the Longquan sword blade.

This turn of events was truly unexpected.

"Your Majesty, you!"

Bai Qi exclaimed in shock and stared at Jiang Li.

At this moment.

There was an awe-inspiring domineering air about Jiang Li, which was completely opposite to the ignorant and foolish man he was during the day.

There was a faint cold light in Jiang Li's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, what Jiang Li said next made Bai Qi's eyes widen.

"Bai Qing!"

"I am determined to get rid of the crown prince!"

What!

Click!

At that thunderbolt, the heaven and earth trembled.

Bai Qi even trembled slightly with excitement.

He didn't know what happened to the His Majesty in front of him.

But the emperor in front of him exuded a sense of arrogance and ruthlessness.

That is the temperament that only a true hero has.

The emperor finally woke up!

"Your Majesty, wake up, long live Qianqiu!"

"If the emperor wants to eradicate traitors and traitors, the humble ministers are willing to die to serve, and they will never look back!"

Bai Qi knelt down and kowtowed, every word resounding!

"Bai Qi!"

"Let me ask you, what is the current situation of the Phoenix Dynasty?"

Bai Qi never expected that the emperor would suddenly ask about this. After thinking about it for a while, he answered immediately.

"In my humble opinion, our court has three worries now."

Jiang Li followed up and asked, "What are the three worries?"

"One worry is that the emperor's power will fall to the wayside when powerful traitors take over. The fluctuations of the courtiers and the lack of morale of the army that your majesty has seen are all caused by this."

"The second concern is that the national treasury is empty and the financial power is in chaos. Today's national treasury is less than 10 million taels of silver. Your Majesty spent 8 million taels of silver to reward the three armies, which has completely emptied the national treasury."

"Once the national treasury is empty, it will be impossible to control the borders, run the army, provide disaster relief, or appease the people of the world."

"Once there is any disturbance, the rule of the imperial court will fall apart in an instant."

"As for the three worries, they are foreign aggression. The heavy armored cavalry of the Northern Qi Dynasty are fast and invincible. The Western Jin Dynasty has the most intelligent commander in the world, Sun Wu, who has millions of elite troops and can conquer everything wherever he goes. The Feiyun Cavalry of the Southern Chu Dynasty is good at

He can ride and shoot in Hufu, and his hunting attacks are unparalleled in the world."

"All the three countries are ambitious and want to annex them in one fell swoop when our country is tired."

"Internal and external troubles have pushed our Phoenix Dynasty to the edge of the abyss."

"With all due respect, your Majesty, if you indulge in sensuality and employ traitors, your country will be in danger of subjugation within three years!"

At this moment, Jiang Li was silent.

He looked at the young man in front of him quietly, with a sharp light shining in his eyes.

In the few days since time travel, he has already figured out the situation in the court.

Nowadays, traitors are in power, and ministers who sit on the fence have chosen to protect themselves wisely. The Bai family is the only remaining loyalist.

What he faced was a certain death situation.

To reverse the situation, Jiang Li must rely on these loyal and honest ministers.

As soon as he thought about this, Jiang Li slapped his hand heavily on Bai Qi's shoulder.

The emperor's blood instantly soaked through Bai Qi's armor robe.

"Bai Qing!"

"Having said that, I might as well tell you the truth. The Guanjunhou party is spread throughout the court. It will be difficult to get rid of them."

"If I want to regain my power, I only have one chance."

"If it succeeds, the imperial power will be back in control and it can command the world. If it fails, it will be shattered into pieces and all nine tribes will be destroyed."

"I trust you with my life and give you the last chance to choose. Should you protect yourself wisely or fight to the death?"

At this moment, Bai Qi was moved to the point of burning within himself.

The majestic emperor actually trusted him with his life.

What a privilege!

At this moment, Bai Qi's pupils were bloodshot and his voice was choked.

"Your Majesty has entrusted you, and I will sacrifice my life to follow you!"

"I swear with my blood for free that I will forget my own death in this life and serve you faithfully!"

A promise from the king and his ministers is as important as ten thousand stones!

At this point, the two of them have been bound to a chariot.

Bai Qi kowtowed and stood up, saying:

"Your Majesty, Guan Junhou is the leader of the traitorous party in the imperial court. This person must be eliminated quickly. Now that Guan Junhou has become big, it is impossible to punish him."

"As long as your majesty can be trusted, I am willing to risk my life and assassinate the champion!"

"At that time, the imperial power will naturally belong to His Majesty."

To capture the thief first, capture the king, this is the eternal principle.

This seemed to be a clever plan to draw out the firepower, but Jiang Li flatly rejected it.

"Absolutely not!"

Jiang Li shook his head.

His eyes were dark, like an ancient well with no bottom.

"Bai Qi, do you think the world will be at peace if the crown prince dies?"

"wrong!"

"While the Crown Prince is here, they are just a party. But if the Crown Prince dies, countless people like him will emerge from this party."

"At that time, the power imbalance in the court and the political strife will inevitably trigger a coup. By that time, I may not even survive for three days!"

Bai Qi was so shocked that his soul trembled.

Unconsciously, his armor robe was soaked with cold sweat.

indeed.

When competing in court, the most fearful thing is to suddenly lose your balance.

Once chaos is triggered, not even the emperor or the gods can suppress it.

"It took less than a day to freeze three feet of ice, and it takes more than a day to get rid of a traitor like Guan Junhou."

"What we have to do now is to slowly seize power."

"Before you have the strength to confront the crown prince head-on, strive to be silent and not be noticed by anyone."

"So Bai Qi, the first thing I want you to do is to be your flower hunter. The eight hundred female concubines must be in place as soon as possible. These female concubines must all be over eighteen years old and under twenty years old.

And both sex and art must be excellent.”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Qi was stunned.

Originally, he thought that the emperor had awakened and was working hard to govern, so why did he still forcefully recruit these female concubines?

But Jiang Li seemed to see through his thoughts, and smiled clearly and said:

"Eight hundred female concubines were divided into three batches, and three hundred girls were trained to become beautiful concubines in the erotic arts. They were rewarded in batches with the residences of various ministers and served as concubines."

"Two hundred of the most beautiful people will be kept in the palace to serve as deceivers."

"As for the last three hundred people, they will be executed for disobedience! However, I don't want them to die. Instead, I will hide them in secret and train them to be dead soldiers!"

"As for the superficial appearance of fake death, that's up to you. I don't care how you do it, but it must be realistic."

The emperor's plan was so thorough that it was obviously not a spur-of-the-moment idea but something that had already been planned.

Is this still the ridiculous emperor?

Simply the best among human beings!

At this thought, the big stone in Bai Qi's heart suddenly fell to the ground.

"Yes!" Understanding the emperor's meaning, Bai Qi nodded solemnly, "Your Majesty, how do you arrange for the three hundred concubines to be given to each minister's house to report back?"

The emperor's move was nothing more than using these concubines as spies to spy on intelligence.

But who would have thought that Jiang Li would sneer and shake his head.

"They don't need to do anything, let alone spy on information!"

What!

No need to spy on information?

Hearing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but be stunned.

Bai Qi tentatively said: "Your Majesty, if they are not used to gather information, the role that those beauties can play in various mansions will probably be minimal. Your Majesty, could you please think about it again?"

However, Jiang Li shook his head and smiled mysteriously.

"You convey my will to them. There is no need for them to spy on the information, let alone any assassination. I only need them to have sex with the princes every night and get pregnant as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Qi's jaw almost dropped in shock.

To continue the incense for the ministers, this...is this a big plan?

Just when he was shocked and confused, he heard Jiang Li continue to give instructions.

"You should keep an eye on these beauties. Once they become pregnant, you will take them to the palace in the name of praying for blessings and take good care of them until they are delivered."

"Another order, tell these beauties that anyone who gives birth to a baby boy will be granted a third-grade royal title and a thousand gold coins. As for the baby boy, he will be given the title of Prince Consort and will be raised in the palace. When he comes of age, he will marry the princess."

"Anyone who gives birth to a baby girl will be granted a fourth-grade royal title and five hundred gold. The baby girl will be given the title of princess and will also be raised in the palace. She will come here to marry my royal son."

…

The emperor's edict came out slowly from Jiang Li's mouth like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this.

He knows very well that in court games, what is at stake is the hearts of the people.

Previously, the emperor and his ministers were at odds with each other, so the crown prince was given the opportunity to vacate the imperial power.

But now, Jiang Li's move is to marry the ministers.

This is not just a marriage, but a deep binding.

Even if the treacherous rebellion succeeds, in order to eliminate the root cause, the crown prince will definitely drive away all the royal in-laws.

As a result, the ministers had no choice but to fully support the imperial power.

If the imperial power is stable, they will reach the pinnacle of power because of their marriage to the royal family.

And Jiang Li will remain the supreme ruler!

This is Jiang Li's conspiracy!

The conspiracy against the champion Hou Yangmou!

At this point, Bai Qi finally understood the emperor's overall plan.

clever!
Chapter completed!
