"I have made up my mind. My dear friends, there is no need to say more. Just do it according to the king's wishes."

Xia Changqing put away the powerful aura spreading around her body and waved her hand gently.

"My dear friends, please step aside."

Now no one in the hall dared to raise an objection. After all, no one in the most respected position is a fool.

No one wants to put themselves at risk, let alone use their heads to test whether Master Xia's sword is still sharp enough.

"My King Shengming!"

Several old men shouted lowly and kowtowed again. Then they stood up and walked backwards to the door of the main hall, then turned around and saluted until they disappeared from Xia Changqing's sight.

The door slowly closed, and deathly silence and darkness returned to the hall.

Xia Changqing did not light the candle. Logically speaking, in an era with such advanced technology, the equipment and shape of the Imperial Palace looked a bit "outdated".

But Zhuxia Kingdom is such a magical country, where not only "technology" and "magic" coexist, but also "ancient" and "modern" atmospheres coexist.

It innovated in many aspects, but followed the ancestral system and respected tradition in many aspects. This is also one of the characteristics of Zhuxia Kingdom.

Xia Changqing slowly sat back on the throne. His handsome face hidden in the darkness was a little less majestic and a little more gentle than before.

He gently pressed the tip of his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

Although Xue Zai and others are said to be extremely powerful ministers and have mastered the art of serving as ministers to the highest level, they still do not understand the art of the emperor.

Let them keep the institutions they are responsible for operating well and act as a lubricant.

But if they were asked to coordinate the overall situation and have an insight into the general trend of the world, it would be beyond the capabilities of Xue Zai and other veterans.

How could Xia Changqing not know that sending the Kingsguard to support would result in a lack of defensive power in the Imperial Palace? Moreover, the Kingsguard are the elite of the elite, so asking them to suppress rebellions in other cities is a bit like killing a chicken with a knife.

But compared to these, Xia Changqing knew more clearly that the main target of the opponent's raid was obviously not himself, but the geniuses of various colleges.

All other burning, killing, and looting are just a cover-up.

Moreover, at this moment, various prefectures and cities have already

Flustered by the attack by the Wanzu Cult, Xia Changqing understood that the most critical thing at the moment was to stabilize the people of the Xia Kingdom as soon as possible to prevent internal changes.

If they can't protect even their own citizens, and they can't even protect the next generation of energetic students, how can Zhuxia Kingdom talk about its future?

They are the mainstay of Zhuxia Kingdom!

If the riots are not quelled quickly enough or well enough, causing citizens to lose confidence in the major governments, then there will be real trouble.

No matter in any period, compared with external riots, internal turmoil is the most fundamental factor in disintegrating a dynasty and is the key.

Therefore, Xia Changqing clearly understands that the most important thing at the moment is to dispatch the most elite forces of the Xia Kingdom to quell the riots as quickly and safely as possible, and to stabilize the people's trust in each government!

Compared to this, nothing else is important.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Changqing, who was sitting on the throne, waved his hand. An old figure emerged from the darkness behind the throne like a ghost, "floated" in front of Xia Changqing, kowtowed to the ground.

"I pay homage to the king. What do you want from the king?"

An old ghost-like voice came, but Xia Changqing smiled, nodded gently and said: "Uncle Wu, there are no outsiders now, and it's not during the court meeting, so there is no need to be so reserved."

Looking at the entire Xia Kingdom, it is extremely rare for people to be treated with such courtesy by Xia Changqing.

This is because the identity of the old man in front of him is unusual.

There are a total of twelve Lord Guards of the Kingsguard, who command twelve armies of the Kingsguard.

On top of these twelve Iron Guard captains, there is also a President of the Kingsguard, and that is the old man standing in front of Xia Changqing—Xia Wu.

At the seventh level of Enlightenment Realm, the strength of this realm is already comparable to that of some palace chiefs!

Of course, the strength of the seventh level of enlightenment alone is not enough for Xia Changqing to treat him with courtesy. Another very important reason is that Xia Wu is not only his clan uncle, but also one of Xia Changqing's most trusted confidants.

This is the sharpest sword he has, and there is absolutely no possibility of having second thoughts.

Although ministers like Xue Zai were also valued by Xia Changqing, it was impossible for him to trust those powerful ministers as much as he trusted Xia Wu.

No matter how loyal Xue Zai is, even if he is really Lang Lang

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The universe can be learned from the sun and the moon, but in Xia Changqing's eyes, he is still an "outsider" after all.

Outsiders will seek profits for their own family. No matter how far they go, they cannot serve the Xia family and the Xia Kingdom wholeheartedly!

Therefore, it is not surprising that Xia Changqing treated Xia Wu with such courtesy, not to mention that he was proficient in the art of emperors and knew that even if he said so, Xia Wu would not really do it.

Facts have proved that Xia Changqing still looks at people with a very vicious eye. As expected, after listening to his words, Xia Wu immediately buried his body and head lower and said sincerely: "I don't dare."

Xia Changqing smiled silently, and then waved his hand towards Xia Wu: "You can also go with the captain of the Twelve Iron Guards. There is no need to stay by my king's side."

As the commander of the Kingsguard, Xia Wu was not under the control of anyone except Xia Changqing's direct orders.

Therefore, even the group of high-ranking ministers headed by Xue Zai just now, even if they conveyed the emperor's oral instructions or held imperial edicts, could not make Xia Wu move at all.

Although the Iron Guard Captain has a very high status, he still has to obey the orders of the Tiger Talisman or the imperial edict.

Xia Wu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would be sent to suppress the riot this time. You must know that most of the time, he has always been by the side of the king.

This also shows how seriously Xia Changqing takes this matter.

Unlike others, Xia Wu never asked any questions about Xia Changqing's orders. However, when accepting the order, he hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Your Majesty, should I bring the prince directly to you, or...

..”

As if he had expected Xia Wu to ask this question, Xia Changqing did not hesitate for a moment and replied directly: "No, just treat Qi'er equally. If you want to become a qualified palace master or even a country master, you must go through

It takes practice.”

"If you can't even settle this little turmoil on your own, and you still need others to catch him, wouldn't it be in vain for me to train him?"

The "Qi'er" mentioned by Xia Changqing is none other than Xia Qi, the "Prince" of the Daxia Mansion in Zhuxia Kingdom.

Although he is only seventeen years old, Xia Qi has already reached the peak of Tengyun, and is only one step away from breaking through to the mountain and sea realm!
